Advertising info Legal disclaimer Accessibility Privacy policy Terms & Conditions Help Politics this week Sep 2nd 2010 The first direct Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations in 20 months began in Washington. Binyamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas began talks urged on by President Barack Obama along with President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, King Abdullah of Jordan and Tony Blair for the “Quartet”. See article In the run up to the talks, four Israeli settlers were shot dead and two injured in two separate incidents in the West Bank. Hamas claimed responsibility for the attacks. Mexico’s federal police arrested Édgar Valdez Villarreal, known as “La Barbie”, one of the country’s most powerful and violent drug traffickers. Mr Valdez is the fourth top gang leader to fall in the past year. The Mexican authorities hope he will provide intelligence on the various mobs that he has worked with during his criminal career. See article Franklin Brito, a 50-year-old farmer, died after a hunger strike to protest against Venezuela’s government authorising squatters to occupy his land. He had been held at a military hospital in Caracas since December. Drilling began to rescue the 33 workers trapped in a collapsed mine in Chile. Fidel Castro, Cuba’s former president, gave a rare interview to a Mexican newspaper. He said the intestinal illness he has suffered in recent years had left him “at death’s door”, and expressed regret for having officially persecuted gays in the 1960s and 1970s. A destructive influence Ichiro Ozawa, long a kingmaker in Japan but never its prime minister, campaigned to usurp Naoto Kan as leader of the governing Democratic Party of Japan, ahead of a party vote on September 14th. Mr Ozawa announced a populist platform which included proposals for tearing up a deal with America on a military base on Okinawa, increasing spending, with subsidies to farmers, and intervening in currency markets to constrain the rocketing yen. Mr Kan is trying to present himself as a responsible and realistic leader. In Sri Lanka the cabinet agreed on a proposal to rewrite the country’s constitution to allow the president, Mahinda Rajapaksa, to seek a third term. Mr Rajapaksa has been in office since 2005 and his current term ends in 2016. He enjoys the support of two-thirds of parliament and so is likely to get the necessary legislation passed. Kim Jong Il, the Dear Leader of North Korea, completed a trip by armoured train to China, his second in only four months. Many speculated that he used the visit to prepare the way for his third son, Kim Jong Un, for eventual succession to the leadership ahead of a conclave of the North Korean Communist Party early in September. China is North Korea’s most important ally. See article Pakistanis and cricket-lovers were mortified after a newspaper sting appeared to show members of the Pakistani test side agreeing, through an agent, to rig parts of a game against England in exchange for £150,000 ($230,000).

My dissertation chair, Dr. David Ostroff, advised me for five years and brought vision to this project. I appreciate the help and advice I received from Dr. Sylvia Chan-Olmsted, who is the most outstanding scholar I know and admire. Many thanks to Dr. James Algina, who taught statistics to a student who is not so fond of math. I owe the most to my dissertation co-chair, Dr. Amy Jo Coffey, who is a mentor and a friend. She has influenced me so much on how to be a scholar, a professor, and a better person. I could not have completed this dissertation without her. Most importantly, I thank my dissertation committee for letting me learn things in my way, and make decisions that are best for me. They were supportive of me taking a job in 2010 and completing my dissertation while working full-time. Without their understanding and encouragement, this dissertation could not have been done. My doctoral program at the University of Florida is about the education, but more importantly, an education about myself. I have had the privilege of meeting many wonderful people along the way.

Everydaymillions of new articles are published and presented by RSS feeds.Also, news feeders, newsgators are available for subscribers or the readers bythe individual sites, the news feeders regularly pull articles from theWeb sites, the aggregated effect by all news feeders puts anenormousload on many sites. We propose ablog aggregator approach where a central aggregatormonitors and retrieves new postings from different data sources and subsequently disseminates them to the subscribersto alleviate such a problem. We study how the aggregator should monitor thedata sources to quickly retrieve new postings using minimalresources and to provide its subscribers with fast news alert. Thus, this reduces the load onthe monitored data sources by a significant amount. ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION blogs, podcasts, and video blogs in one location for easy viewing.Aggregators reduce the time and effort needed to RSS (Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) is an regularly check websites for updates, creating a unique Extensible Markup Language (XML) file which is used by information space or personal newspaper.

Instead of placing all functionality into a single app. Leveraging the entitlement provided by the service, the program, programs cooperate to complete tasks requested by users.
