The Tree of Life Web Project is a collection of information about biodiversity compiled collaboratively by hundreds of expert and amateur contributors. Its goal is to contain a page with pictures, text, and other information for every species and for each group of organisms, living or extinct.
The term over-the-air provisioning (OTA) describes the ability to download and install content over a wireless network, typically on demand. In this article we'll go over what OTA is, how it works, and how it affects you, for both MIDP 1.0 and MIDP 2.0. We'll also look at the server impacts - how any web site can be used as a download server, and how the new J2EE Client Provisioning specification looks at a high level. Note that even though this article will concentrate on OTA provisioning of applications, specifically Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) applications (MIDlets), some of the concepts covered also apply to the provisioning of other types of content.

Fura is a self-contained grid middleware that allows the grid enablement and distribution of applications on heterogeneous computational resources. Fura features a web-based GUI, wizard-guided installation and configuration, and Web Services compliance. Fura's component based plug-in architecture allows grid services to be extended or replaced, and new services can be developed reusing existing components.
Fura is for developers or highly technical enthusiasts who want the open and latest grid technology early and often to use it in non-critical computing environments. It is not recommended to use Fura where support options, maintenance, and software/hardware certifications are valued. For such environments, you must use either Fura Open Enterprise Edition (GPL Licensed) or Fura Commercial Enterprise Edition (Commercial EULA).
likit-Linux is a non-formal project oriented on developing a modern, free, user-friendly and fun Linux desktop. It uses the well known, award winning KDE enviroment.

IzPack is an installers generator for the Java platform. It produces lightweight installers that can be run on any operating system where a Java virtual machine is available. Depending on the operating system, it can be launched by a double-click or a simple java -jar installer.jar from a shell. The most common use is to distribute applications for the Java platform, but you can also use it for other kinds of projects. The main benefit of IzPack is that it provides a clean and unique way of distributing a project to users using different operating systems. IzPack is reported to run on:

Distribution of Word Frequencies
I. J. GOOD
25 Scott House, Princess Elizabeth Way, Cheltenham.
THE purpose of this communication is to explain, in terms of the theory of information, the implications of the Zipf distribution of word frequencies1. The distribution is formally identical with the Pareto income and Willis taxonomic distributions, but the present discussion is restricted to word frequencies. The discussion resembles that of Mandelbrot2 but is simpler. The discussion by Parker-Rhodes and Joyce3 also resembles Mandelbrot's, but is fallacious.

A Theory of Word-Frequency Distribution
A. F. PARKER-RHODES & T. JOYCE
Cambridge Language Research Unit, 20 Millington Road, Cambridge.
THE object of this communication is to show that a certain remarkably simple experimental relation governing word-frequencies in language can be explained by a simple model of the process of searching for information, about each word heard or read, in the memory of words employed in the language faculty.

Abstract
In his original paper on the subject, Shannon found upper and lower bounds for the entropy of printed English based on the number of trials required for a subject to guess subsequent symbols in a given text. The guessing approach precludes asymptotic consistency of either the upper or lower bounds except for degenerate ergodic processes. Shannon's technique of guessing the next symbol is altered by having the subject place sequential bets on the next symbol of text.....
