Changes from v.1.0 to v1.1
Changes affecting Spitfire MKI/II
- While Accu-Sim ignores the default FSX electrical system, we changed the FSX electrical system from 24v to 12v in aircraft.cfg for continuity
- New engine oil and coolant algorithms representing internal mass inertia and coolant flow passing through a large engine. This means the engine can be quicker to heat up and slower to cool down.

- MkII cockpit: flaps warning says 160 IAS; maximum speeds converted to MPH
- New trigger for the MkI
- Aircraft.cfg atc_type=Supermarine
- Added additional physics to airframe vibrations. Vibrations are both more precise and dynamic
- Slightly lowered shake effect on our manifold pressure gauge

By: Kirstie Pike- CEO and Founder of Prois
It's safari season again! We shout a resounding "hooray" for all of you gearing up for your African journey! What to wear…what to wear?
The Prois staff put their collective heads together to come up with what THEY think is the best line up for your upcoming hunt!
1. Prois Adventure Pants. These are a must-have for your hunt. They are lightweight and comfortable. Not only do they pack well, they wash well and dry quickly. We suggest the olive for hunting in Africa.
2. Ultra Long Sleeve Shirt and Ultra Short Sleeve Shirt. Both are perfect for safari but make sure you are hunting in a region that allows camouflage. The Ultra shirts wick moisture in the hotter temperatures and breathe nicely as the day heats up. They are lightweight and very packable. Both are available in Realtree AP, Max1 and black. Personally, I used the black options on my recent hunt in Namibia.
3. Pro-Edition Vest. Africa can be cold in the mornings and evenings. Our Pro-Edition vest is perfect for additional core warming. It can be worn alone over shirts or layered beneath a jacket for the exceptionally cool mornings. Again, check to ensure you can wear camouflage in your hunting region.
4. Pro-Edition Jacket. Did we mention it gets cold there? The Pro-Edition Jacket offers a great shell as it is constructed with 3-ply fabric that includes microfleece, windstopper and a soft brushed tricot on the outside. The hood is removable if you are trying to reduce the bulk in your luggage. I personally loved this option on my recent trek to Namibia.
5. Prois Leather Belt and Cartridge Holder. Yes. Although it may not seem like a necessity, I found these products to be life savers. Not only are they extremely functional, they offer that traditional safari look and feel. It felt like a slice of elegance!
Now…go on and get yourself all set for your upcoming adventure! If you utilize our suggested layering system you can minimize the amount of gear you have to tote across the globe! And remember, Prois loves photos of your hunts! Send them our way!

In OmniThreadLibrary you don't create threads but tasks. A task can be executed in a new thread or in an existing thread, taken from the thread pool.
A task is created using
CreateTask function, which takes as a parameter a global procedure, a method, an instance of a
TOmniWorker class (or, usually, a descendant of that class) or an anonymous method (in Delphi 2009 and newer).
CreateTask returns an
IOmniTaskControl interface, which can be used to control the task. A task is always created in suspended state and you have to call
Run to activate it (or
Schedule to run it in a thread pool).
The task has access to the
IOmniTask interface and can use it to communicate with the owner (the part of the program that started the task). Both interfaces are explained in full detail in chapter Low-level multithreading.
The distinction between the task and the thread can be summarized in few simple words.
Task is part of code that has to be executed.
Thread is the execution environment.
You take care of the task, OmniThreadLibrary takes care of the thread.

How US Evangelicals Fueled the Rise of Russia's 'Pro-Family' Right
This past June, the Russian Parliament passed an anti-gay law that came as a surprise to much of the rest of the world. The statute, an amendment to the country's Code of Administrative Offenses, bans "propaganda" regarding "nontraditional sexual relations among minors." (In earlier versions of the bill, it was simply referred to as "homosexual propaganda.") The bill's language is so vague that it could include just about any kind of gay rights advocacy, from newspaper editorials and advertisements to public information campaigns and demonstrations. Among the penalties: fines of up to 5,000 rubles for an individual and 1 million rubles for a media organization or other legal entity. (A few days later, a bill banning the adoption of Russian children by same-sex couples in countries that recognize gay marriage was also passed.) In November, the editor of a newspaper in the far eastern city of Khabarovsk was charged under the new law after quoting an LGBT activist saying, "My entire existence is credible proof of the normality of homosexuality."
Though it sparked worldwide condemnation at a moment when Russia is poised to host the Sochi Olympics, the bill in effect codified existing social policy. Several regions, including St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk, had already passed similar laws; gay rights demonstrations have been routinely banned; and LGBT activists have lived for years in a climate of fear, enduring beatings, arrests and harassment.
The anti-gay measure is the product of a growing conservative movement in Russia spearheaded by the Orthodox Church and sympathetic lawmakers. Its goals are not only to criminalize homosexuality, but to limit access to abortion and reproductive healthcare and to aggressively promote the "traditional family" through state subsidies and other benefits. In 2011, the parliament passed a law restricting abortion access that pro-choice activists regard as the first volley in an effort to ban the procedure altogether. Clinics were required to list the potential negative side effects of an abortion—like the warning on a pack of cigarettes—in any advertisements. More recently, a bill was passed prohibiting doctors' offices or health clinics from advertising that they perform abortions at all. Yelena Mizulina, head of the Duma's Committee on Family, Women and Children's Affairs, which has formulated much of the new legislation, has said her primary task in the upcoming session will be to further restrict access to abortion and limit the availability of emergency contraception. Meanwhile, numerous think tanks, advocacy groups and charitable organizations with close ties to the Kremlin have taken up the cause.
* * *
This rising Russian social conservative movement frequently invokes the argument that pro-gay and women's rights groups are puppets of the West, which is seeking to undermine Russian autonomy and interfere in the country's internal affairs. At an annual meeting of journalists and academics presided over by Vladimir Putin in Valdai in September, the Russian president said that European countries had strayed from their roots by legalizing gay marriage. He urged Russians to embrace the conservative values of the Orthodox Church and other traditional religions and issued a warning to those who might want to challenge those values. "Russia's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity are unconditional—these are red lines no one is allowed to cross," he declared.
Several LGBT rights groups have been targeted under another new law, which requires any nongovernmental organization that receives funding from other countries for political activities to register as a "foreign agent." Failure to do so can lead to investigations, legal action or crippling fines. The implication is that these groups are not only agents of the West but also out of touch with everyday Russians.
The irony is that it is the new conservative vanguard—anti-gay, anti-abortion and pro–"traditional family"—that has most successfully cultivated the West's financial and institutional support. Scott Lively, an extreme anti-gay campaigner, all but took credit for the new law, calling it "one of the proudest achievements of my career," while Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, visited Moscow with much fanfare just before the new law was passed. But the language of Russia's anti-gay and anti-abortion movement seems to borrow most heavily from mainstream evangelicals and conservative politicians in the United States and Europe. Referring to the anti-abortion bill passed in 2011, Lyubov Erofeeva, executive director of the Russian Association for Population and Development, a women's advocacy group, said: "It was 100 percent clear that everything was copied from the experience of American fundamentalists and conservative circles of several European countries where abortion is forbidden or restricted severely."
The church's close ties with American evangelicals reflect a shift in policy. For much of the post-Soviet period, the Russian Orthodox Church held evangelical denominations at arm's length, fearing that they would compete for influence within Russia. But as the church has consolidated its power, it has come to view the evangelical community as a partner. "The ROC realizes that the evangelical denominations are not their opponents but rather their allies in the relations between the church and the secular population," says Olga Kazmina, a professor of ethnology at Moscow State University.
"It's a re-envisioned paradigm," says Father Leonid Kishkovsky, head of the Orthodox Church in America's Department of External Affairs. In many ways, it makes sense, he adds: both religious groups share an ideological commitment and have grown disillusioned with the way mainline churches have dealt with issues like gay marriage and abortion. "But what I'm quite nervous about is the ideological core which actually motivates both sides," Kishkovsky says. "Where is the motivating force? Is it in faith? Or is it in political ideology?"
The Russian Orthodox Church's chief emissary to the US evangelical community is Hilarion Alfeyev, a high-ranking bishop and chairman of the powerful Department of External Church Relations (the position previously held by Patriarch Kirill). In February 2011, the 47-year-old Alfeyev traveled to Washington, where he met with prominent evangelical and "pro-family" leaders; and then to Dallas, where he addressed thousands of members of the Highland Park Presbyterian Church and emphasized the importance of "creat[ing] new alliances," especially around issues of marriage, abortion and the family. Alfeyev also visited the Dallas Theological Seminary and had an hour-long meeting with George W. Bush.

Stellenbosch: Wine and Cheetahs?Cape Town, Spring 2012
I know what you are thinking… wine and cheetahs sounds like an awful combination. But just hear me out…
My roommates and I planned a trip to Stellenbosch, as it is one of the places to see in the Western Cape. It is famous for its beautiful vineyards and wine tastings, so we figured we would give it a try. We planned a weekend trip and we were off!
On Friday we went to a winery named Spier. This vineyard is unique because it is where you can both taste wine and pet cheetahs. (Though it is not recommended that you do both simultaneously).
We decided to do the cheetah petting first. What's really cool about this outreach center at the winery is that all of the proceeds they make off of tourists go toward the preservation of cheetahs in Southern Africa. They are actually giving farmers that typically shoot cheetahs (because they hunt their livestock) watchdogs that are trained to bark when they see a cheetah hunting. When a cheetah's hunt is disrupted they typically run away and do not pursue the livestock any further. I thought this was a really interesting, animal-friendly way of preserving the species. We were happy to help the cause.
We decided to wait for the cats to be fed; then we went in to pet them. I did not really feel like being made a meal that day, so I was happy to wait.
After we were done petting the cheetahs, we were off to do some wine tasting.
The Spier winery was the only stop we were going to make on Friday, as we had left a little late after classes, so we really made the most of our time there. We hung out for a very long time and really enjoyed the atmosphere.
After the tasting we were able to walk around the gardens before the sun set. There was so much to take in. The gardens were beautiful.
We also stumbled upon the winery restaurant, where the people who stay there dine. Here we met a man who did face paintings… so we figured why not?!
The next day we went on a full wine tour. We got to see four gorgeous vineyards and really got our money's worth. It was so much fun. If you are studying abroad in Cape Town, you absolutely have to go to Stellenbosch for the wine. You are missing out if you don't!
All four of the wineries we went to were amazing. Though I do have to say, my favorite was probably Fairview. The people were so nice; and the guy who was helping us choose wines from the list actually let us try one that was not on the list. It was honey flavored and I think it was the best wine I have ever had. I also loved Fairview because they had cheese tastings following the wine tasting. I have never seen so much cheese in my life. And I'll be honest, my roommies and I went around a couple of times to make sure we had tried them all.
Though Fairview has my vote, I do have to say that the Dieu Donne Vineyard had, by far, the best view. They were situated right at the bottom of the rolling hills and mountains of Stellenbosch; the view was absolutely breathtaking.
And with that, our wine tour was over. We said goodbye to Stellenbosch and headed back to Cape Town. I am so glad we got to plan a weekend trip there; I did not realize what we were missing out on until I experienced it.
Tot volgende keer! (That's Afrikaans for "Until next time!") -Rachael

We did this in 2009; it was one of the highlights of our trip to South Africa. Loved petting the cheetahs and hearing them purr. The vineyards were beautiful and the wine delicious. The only disappointment was not being able to send home a case of sauvignon blanc due to our state's alcohol restrictions. (We live in PA).

"You can walk down Fifth Avenue without a struggle," the CEO of a major fashion house says, commenting on the turnaround of American retailing. "That's something I never thought I would see." Who would have thought it? In less than six months, the global retail shopping environment embodied by New York's most crowded and profitable shopping strip has become all but a lunar landscape. In one of the worst years in recent memory, U.S. sales of fashion and luxury goods are down 20 to 30 percent. "The numbers are just so small now, it's kind of scary," says C. Britt Beemer, chairman of America's Research Group, a market-research firm. In the group's recent consumer shopping survey of 1,000 people, only 0.7 percent said that they shopped a luxury department store in February, down from 2 percent in December.
The downward spiral has yet to halt. In a world where money and logos were once the ultimate prize, retailers and luxury-goods houses are adjusting to the terms "discounting," "shifting stock" and "stealth buying." The flight to quality that so many luxury-goods experts confidently predicted at the start of the global meltdown has not materialized, with even some of the glossiest of companies such as Richemont, which owns Chloé, Alfred Dunhill and Van Cleef & Arpels, admitting that their figures are worrying. "Flat is the new good where sales figures are concerned," the executive of one global luxury-goods house says. "We are prepared for a long, bumpy ride."
Now the biggest question in retail is whether or not the radical discounting department stores resorted to in a desperate bid to up their November and December sales figures has indelibly altered the public's perception of luxury. "Department stores have trained the customer not to pay full price," says Billy Daley, a spokesman for Michael Kors in New York. "When full-price goods come in, the shoppers are like, 'Oh, I'll wait for the sale.' " At what price success, even in sales terms? According to America's Research Group, shoppers now view 70 percent off as a great sale, versus the 40-to-50-percent discounts of the past. At the 70 percent level, it's extremely hard for traditional retailers to make a profit.
If Daley is correct, what next then for retail? It looks like the immediate answers might be found in three concepts: designer shopping online, discounted online luxury sample sales and discount designer malls.
Net-a-Porter.com has disproved the theory that the customer would never pay full price online for top-flight designer goods without the ability to try them on. Launched by Natalie Massenet in 2000 and selling everything from Marni to Dolce & Gabbana and Stella McCartney, the site presents the clothes in a magazine or runway-type format. The site offers speedy shopping for time-poor women—at a price.
After the quick flash of a credit card, packages are sped to homes and offices in little black vans, same day in New York and London, and three days, for example, to Hong Kong. "Back in 1999 or 2000, when no one believed anyone would buy expensive clothing online, Natalie proved that it could be done," says Imran Amed, a London-based consultant to luxury-goods firms. Experts point to Net-a-Porter as proof of the "stealth" or "shame" shopper phenomenon—women and men who still want to buy but don't feel comfortable with the idea of walking down some of the world's top shopping streets toting their wares in designer carrier bags. Taking it a step further, the company launched a discreet packaging option last year, with deliveries made in recycled brown paper bags. Net-a-Porter is a small, privately held company, but those who know the business say that its U.S. sales figures have risen since the economic downturn.
Gilt Groupe has an appropriate name, even if the spelling isn't commensurate. An organization that could never have predicted the economic crash, it is benefiting nonetheless from being in the right place at the right time. Headed by Susan Lyne, a former top executive at Martha Stewart Omnimedia and ABC Entertainment, the company runs what amounts to exclusive online sample sales (you have to be invited to attend). With carefully managed flash sales of top designer names—from Marc Jacobs to Missoni—it has amassed one million members within 18 months of launching, and the company says it's on track to multiply its annual revenue to about $80 million, up from less than $7 million.

It's inevitable that as we age, our brains get smaller. Nerves die off, losing their connections, and that leads to a thinned out network feeding our thinking functions. But brain shrinkage isn't inevitable, according to the latest study of elderly adults. In recent years, as more research reveals the benefits of staying both physically and […]

In a strange turn of events, Sabiny elders are calling for intensive efforts to ban female genital mutilation (FGM).
The elders, who remained adamant even after even after President Museveni passed the FGM bill into law in 2010, now say they want extensive sensitisation especially for the illiterate. The Chairman of the Sabiny Cultural Union, George William Cheborion, says ignorance fuels the practice.
"We feel the elders should make their declaration...because it is not good for the girls' health," Cheborion said.
The Sabiny elder was speaking at a meeting to find ways of ending FGM in Sebei sub-region. Cheborion also called for speedy implementation of the law against FGM to deter surgeons and parents who still embrace the practice and are already circumcising young girls in the dark of the night.
This follows reports that several girls in Sebei sub-region have been mutilated and preparations are underway for a circumcision ritual in Bukwo and Kween districts that could see as many as 100 girls undergo the cut. Another elder Felistus Kures says eradicating FGM remains a challenge because of influential women who underwent the cut and somehow made it in life.
"Young girls are confused, NGOs want sensitisation and parents say they will not stand in the way of culture," she said.
The Bukwo population officer and researcher Simon Alere says Sebei culture attaches a lot of value to FGM with those who avoid the cut are often marginalised. "For instance, uncircumcised women are not allowed to collect food from granaries or to enter the cattle kraal to scoop dung to paste their house floors. When they marry, their husbands are reluctant to show them off," he said.

Please pack your knives...and head out to the suburbs!
Suburgatory is set to welcome two very different guest stars in its Valentine's Day episode. We can exclusively reveal that Top Chef season-six winner Michael Voltaggio and the Book of Mormon national tour's Grey Henson are set to appear on the ABC hit comedy early next year.
Vote now in the 2012 Fall TV Awards
Voltaggio is set to play, you guessed it, a chef named Julio, who runs the impossibly expensive and incredibly trendy pop-up restaurant Snout, which brings inner organs and tons of attitude to the little town of Chatswin.
Henson, who plays Elder McKinley in Book of Mormon, will butt heads with George (Jeremy Sisto) as the officious and snooty Alec, the maitre'd of the restaurant. It seems Alec isn't too pleased with George's failure to fully appreciate the culinary experience the restaurant offers and his unwillingness to obey its strict etiquette.
The episode is currently set to air in February.
Suburgatory airs Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. on ABC.

Tails of the City
In a dark realm between graphic novel and film storyboard lives a cautionary yarn about innocence...and murder by SARA GRAN / illustrations by ISTVAN BANYAI
[ A BUS STATION, LOS ANGELES, NIGHT. Commuters mill about, as do prostitutes,
pimps, drug dealers and the homeless. A kitten cries, unnoticed. From the background,
a big black cat, TOM our hero, watches all this with a sardonic expression.1 ]
Get a load of this...
[ A slick adult cat approaches the kitten. ]
Why so blue, little friend?
Never take help in a bus station.
See, I'm gonna be a star! I can act AND sing! But I turned around for a second
and everything I own is GONE!
Why, don't worry. We take care of each other round here.
How's a nice fish dinner sound?
And then sleeping in a cozy house on a soft pillow?
That sounds great, but why would you do all that for me?
[ Slick Cat leads Kitten out of the bus station.2 ]
I love to help. After a few days, I might ask YOU to do something...
something real fun...for a lonely cat whose wife doesn't understand him.
Some company with a handsome young fellow like you...
Nothing's free.
[ Tom struts through the streets of a decaying downtown L.A.'s Skid Row.3
There are posters in the background for a new mayoral candidate:
The homeless live in tents, many with cats and dogs.
A pack of wild dogs greets Tom as he passes by.4 ]
What up, Tom?
[ Tom pauses in front of Ewing's downtown election headquarters,5 where Ewing
is making a speech in front of a crowd of reporters. No one notices Tom.6 ]
...rid our town of the VERMIN who have taken over like ANIMALS, and restore
our city to a clean, safe, wholesome Los Angeles...
The difference between us and them is they THINK they run the city.
We KNOW we run the city.
[WALTER'S DONUTS, a dingy little joint 7 where CHERYL, a young, pretty, spunky,
not so bright blonde, like a kid from a Busby Berkeley musical, is having coffee. ]
WALTER ( to Tom ):
Hey, buddy!
CHERYL ( to Tom ):
There's my guy!
[ Cheryl scratches Tom, and he purrs like a drunk. Despite Tom's cynicism,
they adore each other.8 ]
How about a sleepover tonight? But later, I gotta special date!
They're all special to her.
[ LATER THAT NIGHT. Tom climbs a fire escape on a tenement, past the
racially diverse urban squalor in the windows, catching snippets of turmoil and
tragedy: a family fighting at the dinner table because there's not enough food;
a young wife slapping her husband across the face, crying,
"Just tell me the truth for once, FOR ONCE..." 9 ]
[ Tom enters the building and goes through an open door to Cheryl's room.10
Cheryl's face is bruised and bloody. Tom is horrified. Cheryl is crying,
watching Ewing on TV. ]
Thought I could trust a guy on TV. Guess he knew what I was good for.
[ Tom realizes Ewing is the man who beat Cheryl.11 ]
The girl may not have much for brains, but I like her.
A heart like that's hard to come by in this city. And someone's gonna pay for this.
See, there's three things they don't understand.
First, WE run this city. Second, they need us more than we need them.
And third—well, let's save that for later.
[THE SAME NIGHT. Tom watches Ewing in front of his headquarters,
talking to another young pretty girl with stars in her eyes.12 ]
A girl like you could go far. You know, I used to be an actor...
TOM (disgusted):
They never stop falling for it, but this score won't be too hard to settle.
[ LATER THE SAME NIGHT. Tom approaches a ragged but cute
house a few blocks from downtown. ]
It's easy to find people to take pity on a sweet, innocent pussycat...
The hard part is pretending to be one.
[ JAMIE, our girl reporter, at her computer.13 ]
Hey, pal, I'm happy to see you, but I need to dig up dirt on this %^&* Ewing
for the Times. Come back tomorrow, okay?
[ IN JAMIE'S YARD. Tom stops to speak with Jamie's dog,
JONES—big, stupid and friendly.14 ]
Hiya, Tom! Wanna play fetch?
[ Tom makes a face. Like that would happen. ]
Er, maybe later. How about a different kind of a game?
[ THE DONUT SHOP THE NEXT NIGHT. Tom sits at a window table
with Cheryl, sunglasses covering her face. She drinks her coffee and looks blue.
Walter looks sad for her. Tom looks down. ]
How about another coffee, Walt? Nothin' to look good for now anyways.
[ OUTSIDE WALTER'S DONUTS. Jones the dog is dragging Jamie the reporter
to the shop.15 ]
We never go this way! And their donuts taste like s--t on a...
[ Jones barks at the window where Tom and Cheryl are sitting.
Jamie recognizes Tom. ]
Is that...?!
[ Jamie and Jones enter the coffee shop. ]
JAMIE ( to Cheryl ):
I think we're sharing a cat.
Oh, he ain't mine. We're pals. I'm...
[ Jamie notices Cheryl's bruises, shocked.16 ]
What happened to that pretty face, sister?
[ INSIDE THE DONUT SHOP. Cheryl and Jamie huddle
conspiratorially. 17 OUTSIDE. Tom and Jones talk. 18 ]
TOM ( to Jones ):
You did all right, smart guy. How about another game?"
I like games! Is it fetch?
[ THE NEXT DAY, OUTSIDE EWING'S OFFICE. Tom watches as the
scene is set very precisely for the coming "accident." ]
TOM ( smugly ):
And now...
[ IN A CAR PARKED ACROSS THE STREET. Jamie is in the driver's seat,
watching Ewing's office through a camera's big zoom lens. Cheryl sits next to her,
talking on the phone. Jones is in the backseat, the window open. ]
CHERYL ( into the phone )19:
All I need's a little something to get me outta town. Wouldn't want me
goin' to the papers, wouldya?
[ INSIDE EWING'S OFFICE. While he talks on the phone, Ewing gets a gun
from his desk...to kill Cheryl.20 ]
EWING ( into the phone ):
I'll be right out. I've got the money.
[ IN THE CAR. Jamie, camera at the ready, sits with Cheryl. ]
Look, here he comes!"
[ Just as Ewing leaves his office, Tom gives Jones a signal.
As Cheryl and Jamie look on, Jones jumps out of the car and in front of a bus.21
The driver slams on his brakes, skidding...22 ]
"Jones, NO! Stop!"
[ ...causing a car to swerve the other way—which makes it cut off the bus, with both
vehicles jumping the curb—and, sadly, squish Ewing to death.23 ]
"Oops...I mean, meow."
[Cheryl, Jamie and Jones stand over the spot where Ewing died.
Tom stands to the side.24 ]
Like I said, there's three facts people just don't get...
ONE, we run this city, not them. TWO, we don't need them—they need us.
And THREE...
[ A crowd starts to gather around Ewing's body.25 ]
JAMIE ( to Cheryl ):
So whatchya doing tonight, sis?
Oh, I got a date with a CLASSY guy tonight. Nothin' like this one—a PRODUCER!
...We Always Win. 26

NovaLogic has today announced that it is working on a new multiplayer action game titled Joint Operations for the PC. Set in Indonesia in the near future, the game will see players going up against various regional factions in a country on the verge of disintegration.
"Joint Operations is the future of warfare," said Lee Milligan, president of NovaLogic. "It is the synchronized application of land, sea, and air forces for maximum effect. This fall, NovaLogic will bring the 21st-century war-fighting experience to multiplayer game enthusiasts everywhere."
In Joint Operations, players will get to take control of a number of different vehicles, including helicopters, boats, and land-based attack units. The multiplayer game will see up to 64 players doing battle as members of either the Joint Operations Force or the Indonesian Separatists, and it will feature a number of different gameplay modes.
Joint Operations is being developed using NovaLogic's Black Hawk engine and is currently scheduled for release toward the end of this year. It's not yet clear whether the game will be played from a first- or third-person perspective, but we'll bring you more information on Joint Operations as soon as it becomes available.

Webcast: Finding Design Opportunities in the Twitter
May 29, 2009
Fast approaching its third birthday, the Twitter API has
spawned thousands of applications that extend functionality
of the basic microblogging service. Some applications
mature, while others fade away. The methods and data Kevin Makice
available through the API continue to evolve, as does the
Twitter community, to create new opportunities for
application development. This webcast takes a closer look
at the Twitter design space by reviewing existing
applications across several dimensions and looking for
unaddressed needs of the user and developer community.

Ruby Learning Interview: Author David
Griffiths, "Head First Rails"
Why $9.99 Won't Always Be an eBook Pricing Ceiling
Have you stumbled across any of those Kindle owners who get angry
anytime they see an ebook price over $9.99? How about publishers who
insist on maintaining their print list price for the e-version? Btw, for
the record, at O'Reilly we typically fall somewhere in between; our
"digital list price" is generally less than the print list price and, of
course, Amazon is free to discount to an even lower price. As a
consumer, when I see a Kindle price over $9.99 I'm highly likely to skip
More Geo-Games: Ship Simulator on Google Earth
At Google I/O 2008 the Google Earth API was released. It brought Google
Earth's 3D capabilities to the web (with the help of browser
extensions). Since that release they've started supporting Macs. One
really nice part of the Google Earth API is the ability to create games
in the 3D world.
Scribd Store a Welcome Addition to Ebook Market (and 650 O'Reilly Titles

selling view and download access to documents and books. As part of the
launch, there are now more than 650 O'Reilly ebooks now available for
preview and sale in the Scribd store, and all include DRM-free PDF
downloads with purchase. (Scribd will soon be adding EPUB as a format,
and we'll make that available as soon as possible.)
Being a Suggested User Leads to Thousands of Twitter Followers
Ever since Twitter started suggesting accounts to new users, it was
clear that those on the suggested users list were gaining thousands of
followers. Setting aside the fact that number of followers is a poor
gauge of influence (see our Twitter report for details), I wanted to
know how many followers a suggested account gains by appearing on the

Free Fight Video | Struve vs. McCorkle | UFC NEWS
In the battle of the big men at UFC 124, 6'11 Stefan Struve took on 6'7 Sean McCorkle. Struve showed that he has some serious technique to go along with his size, beautifully sweeping McCorkle before finishing him with brutal ground and pound.
5 Responses to "Free Fight Video | Struve vs. McCorkle | UFC NEWS"
Utilized a nice sweep to pound out that tomato can.
Nice, I wish I could have seen how McCorkle got it to the ground.
