In this course, author Lorrie Thomas Ross teaches you how to use Google+ to effectively promote a business. Discover how to set up an account for a business or client, and add company information, post photos and video, create compelling copy to market products or services, and improve your reach with contacts. Find smart ways to leverage the power of Google+ circles, blogging, and video sharing to make a real and lasting connection with an audience. This course also shows you ways to improve market visibility and open an online dialogue about your business.
Okay, okay, some of you maybe thinking, oh my gosh, more social media to manage. We know that there's Facebook, there's LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest, Yelp. Some of you maybe thinking help! One more thing, now Google+, don't fret. Social media overwhelm is not necessary. Here's why Google Pages on Google+ can help your business marketing-wise. As you may already know, Google is the number one search engine on the World Wide Web, and the number one way that people search for product, services, and information is through search engines.
If people are using search engines to such a strong degree, and Google is the number one search engine, then it makes sense that pages like Google+ Business pages could get picked up on the search engine results pages for more visibility. Visibility for Google+ isn't on the search engines alone. You can gain visibility with a Google+ page when people talk about your brand tapping the power of peer-to-peer marketing. You can gain visibility for people who may be searching for your brand. You can search in Google+ in a number of ways, people, pages, locations, and posts.
Being part of Google+ for Business gives your brand one more way to be found. Another asset you gain with Google+ for Business is the power of connecting online in a more authentic conversational away. Just like you have conversations with people over lunch, on the phone, via text or email, Google+ for Business can allow you to have conversations with your customers, prospective customers, or fans of your brand. You can bring people together under your brand on your Google+ business page and feed them exclusive content.
People can comment on things you post, converse with each other, read, share posts, videos, and photos. Like Facebook, Google+ for Business also allows people who mention your brand to be able to tag your business when they are talking about you. One of my favorite distinctions about Google+ is their community or grouping features. There are different types of groups that you can tap for business. One, there are hangouts where you can video chat with up to nine people at a time for face-to-face chats.
There are also circles which people create personally when they start their Google+ accounts to manage their contacts. When people choose to follow your page, they are likely to receive your posts, talk about your business, and encourage other people to see and connect with your organization. It's no surprise that we trust our peer opinions over company propaganda when it comes to making decisions. This extends to virtual peers on the web as well. The +1 button bridges these personal recommendations, thanks to Google's tools and reach, and makes it easy for people to recommend your business and read reviews.
People who post your views about your business can easily connect to your Google+ page. Social recommendations can even be shared in ads. One of the last benefits I'd like to note about using Google Pages on Google+ is the connection with Google+ Local, formally known as Google Places. This is an incredibly valuable marketing asset for locally-based businesses. This tab appears in the Google+ interface for the local sections. In today's new search marketing world, personal search drives what we see on the search engine results pages, so it makes sense that Google+ listings may appear depending on recommendations that folks in your individual circles have made.
For example, if someone in your Google+ Circles recommends a product or service in a certain geographic location, you're likely to see that organization higher up in the search engine results pages. The power of peer recommendations isn't just driving credibility for brands, it can also influence visibility, thanks to the combination of Google+ with Google+ Local. Google+ for Business is simple. It's all about adding the right people and sharing content with them that matters.
It's simple to get started, easy to optimize what you already have, and fairly low maintenance to manage which we will cover in future chapters.

Family, friends and faculty gathered to celebrate the commencement of the Jamesville-DeWitt Class of 2012 Sunday at the John H. Mulroy Civic Center in downtown Syracuse.
A total of 209 students crossed the stage at 1:30 p.m. June 23 after a viewing of the senior class slideshow and remarks from several of their peers.
As pointed out by Jamesville-DeWitt Superintendent Alice Kendrick during her remarks, the graduating seniors decided to depart from the traditional commencement guest speaker and allow three of their peers, Erik Davis, Aishwarya Masrani and Samuel Wormuth, to share the honor of addressing the Class of 2012.
The three addresses varied in tone and subject, but all were successful in conveying an enthusiastic optimism for the graduates' future.
"Excellence is average," Masrani said of her classmates in her remarks. This was no exaggeration. Nearly half of the Jamesville-DeWitt Class of 2012 graduated with Honors, meaning their cumulative average exceeded 90 points out of 100.
Masrani thanked her parents, teachers and finally Google for helping her to achieve academically. She also said of her class, "We are not the future of this world, we are the present."
"I, Sam Wormuth, am the Lego guy" is how Wormuth opened his remarks. He went on to compare the Class of 2012 to a set of Legos. The individuals in the class, like Lego pieces, were different, but together they formed something great and unique.
Erik Davis sought inspiration for his remarks in the work of French philosopher Michel de Montaigne. One thing Davis learned from Montaigne is to embrace uncertainty. "Never think that you know it all," Davis said to his classmates. He pointed out that although some of the members of the Class of 2012 are certain of their futures, others are not. Davis assured his classmates that uncertainty is to be encouraged and embraced.

The present invention relates generally to computer systems, and more particularly, to systems and methods that facilitate operations and execution of dynamic languages in a dynamic runtime environment.
As computer science has evolved, object oriented programming has become one of many familiar models designers and programmers utilize to implement functionality within computer systems. The object model generally is defined by a class structure that includes class members providing both methods and associated data elements belonging to the class. The class members thus provide/define desired functionality within a computer program, wherein an object is declared as an instance of a particular class. As is commonplace, objects often must exchange data and/or invoke other objects operating on the same platform and/or communicate with objects belonging to remote platforms. In order to communicate between objects, interface systems and standards have been developed to define how objects may communicate and/or interact with one another.
A familiar system for communicating and interfacing between objects is known as the Component Object Model (COM), wherein another similar system is referred to as the Common Object Request Brokers Architecture (CORBA). Still yet other communication interfaces may be defined in languages such as JAVA within an operating framework of a Java Virtual Machine, for example. As these and other systems have been developed however, two common object architectures or models generally have emerged and may generally be defined in terms of managed and unmanaged object systems, for example.
Managed objects may be allocated from a heap within a managed software or execution environment and are generally not responsible for managing associated object lifetimes. Managed objects may be described in terms of a data type (e.g., metadata) and automatically collected (e.g., reclaimed) by a managed environment "garbage collector" that removes the object from memory when the object is no longer being accessed. In contrast, unmanaged objects may be allocated from a standard operating system heap, wherein the object itself is responsible for freeing memory it employs when references to the object no longer exist. This may be accomplished through well-known techniques such as reference counting, for example.
Various compilers and other tools expose a managed system's functionality that enable designers to write code that benefits from a managed execution environment. Thus, code that is developed with a language compiler that targets a managed system such as a Common Language Runtime or Java Virtual Machine is referred to as managed code. This type environment employs features such as cross-language integration, cross-language exception handling, enhanced security, versioning and deployment support, a simplified model for component interaction, and debugging and profiling services, for example.
To enable managed systems to provide services for managed code, language compilers typically emit metadata that describes the types, members, and references in managed code. Metadata is stored with the code, wherein a loadable common language runtime portable executable (PE) file contains the metadata. The managed system employs the metadata to locate and load classes, lay out instances in memory, resolve method invocations, generate native code, enforce security, and set run-time context boundaries.
The managed system automatically handles object layout and manages references to objects, releasing them when they are no longer being used. Objects whose lifetimes are managed in this manner are called managed data. As noted above, garbage collection mitigates memory leaks as well as some other common programming errors. If code is managed, designers can use managed data, unmanaged data, or both managed and unmanaged data in a respective application. Since language compilers supply their own types, such as primitive types, systems may not always know (or need to know) whether data is being managed.
A prototypical example whereby runtime code generation is beneficial relates to late bound calls as found in languages such as Visual Basic, ECMAScript, Python, Perl, PHP, Scheme, Ruby, and so forth. In these languages, the types of a receiver and arguments of a method call are not known statically, whereas the managed system method call instructions (e.g., call, callvirt, ldftn, ldvrtftn) require the static types of the method arguments and result. Hence, method dispatch is performed dynamically based on the runtime types of the receiver, actual arguments, and the static name of the method. This interpretative layer is one of the main reasons that late bound languages do not perform as well as statically typed languages.
The following presents a simplified summary of the invention in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the invention. This summary is not an extensive overview of the invention. It is not intended to identify key/critical elements of the invention or to delineate the scope of the invention. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of the invention in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
The present invention relates to systems and methods that provide a lightweight, low-cost, and type-safe mechanism for runtime code generation in a managed object environment. In one aspect of the present invention, a dynamic method component (e.g., method builder) is provided that enables dynamic languages employing late bound calls to dynamically generate pointers for respective method calls at or before runtime of dynamic language code. A class allocator is automatically invoked by a managed code module when dynamic method calls are made or executed in the managed code. The class allocator reserves one or more method table "slots" or memory locations that maintain a respective location for pointers that are to be dynamically mapped in response to the dynamic method calls. This is achieved by creating a method description from a dynamically generated intermediate language stream of tokens via the dynamic method component. The method description is then processed by a Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler in order to resolve the pointers for the dynamic method calls. After determining pointer values, the compiler returns the values to the pre-allocated slots that were created by the class allocator and in response to the dynamic method call. The calling module then reads the allocated slot locations to determine the function pointer for the respective method call. In this manner, late bound calls can be dynamically mapped at runtime to facilitate performance enhancements over conventional systems that employ static methods in accordance with interpretive processing layers. Other features of the present invention include automatic garbage collection of dynamic code to facilitate operations in a type-safe runtime environment.
In one aspect of the present invention, compiler functionality is exposed to a user or system as a set of Application Program Interfaces (APIs) that form a user model or managed "hook" into the compiler. The APIs are employed to generate and retrieve function pointers for dynamic method calls. These can include creating instance and static delegate types, creating function pointers, and extending static method builder classes to provide dynamic method building classes that process the dynamic method calls. In addition to providing runtime code generation in a managed code environment, dynamic systems and processes for generating pointers in response to dynamic method calls can be applied to various other applications. These applications include staged computation applications such as generating a state machine from a regular expression at runtime (e.g., generate state machine from VHDL expressions). Other applications include component or object interoperability such as via marshalling and de-marshalling routines that can benefit from dynamically generated pointers for inter/intra object communications. These techniques can also be applied to object serialization and de-serialization schemes, object persistence as well as in accordance with object applications such as object space classes that treat data as an object independent of an underlying data store employed by an application, for example.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, certain illustrative aspects of the invention are described herein in connection with the following description and the annexed drawings. These aspects are indicative of various ways in which the invention may be practiced, all of which are intended to be covered by the present invention. Other advantages and novel features of the invention may become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
The present invention relates to systems and methods that facilitate dynamic programming language execution in a managed code environment. A runtime code generator is provided within the framework of a managed object environment. The code generator includes a class allocator that reserves one or more method slots for a dynamic method call. A dynamic method builder then employs the method slots to generate an intermediate language stream that forms a method description. The method description is then fed to a Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler that returns at least one dynamically generated pointer to facilitate execution of the dynamic method call at runtime. A set of application programming interfaces (APIs) are provided to give users a managed "hook" or entry point into the compiler and associated managed execution environment, wherein various other applications for dynamically generated pointers are also supported. By using runtime-code generation, dynamic calls can be compiled at runtime, and if so desired in combination with memorization, the cost of dynamic code can be brought down close to that of ordinary method calls.
As used in this application, the terms "component," "class," "allocator," "system," "builder," and the like are intended to refer to a computer-related entity, either hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software, or software in execution. For example, a component may be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and/or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a server and the server can be a component. One or more components may reside within a process and/or thread of execution and a component may be localized on one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers.
Referring initially to
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a user model is exposed as a set of APIs (described below with respect to
A DynamicMethodBuilder class (described below) extends the regular MethodBuilder class to create an IL stream that contains dynamically generated metadata "tokens" 154. The present invention intercepts the resolution of these tokens 154 in an execution engine by returning the appropriate runtime handles directly in the method table 140.
It is noted that dynamically generated code can be automatically managed and reclaimed by a managed code garbage collector (not shown). Also, there may be one or more operating rules or security protocols placed on modules that employ or interact with dynamically generated code. For example, depending on the usage scenario (e.g., skip visibility checks, location of caller relative to location of new code), different permissions can be demanded such as:
Instantiating a DynamicMethod can result in a demand for ReflectionPermission(ReflectionPermissionFlag.ReflectionEmit);
Instantiating a DynamicMethod where the user desires to bypass the JIT visibility checks (by specifying skipVisibility==true) can result in a demand for ReflectionPermission(ReflectionPermissionFlag.MemberAccess); and
Instantiating a DynamicMethod where the caller lives in a different assembly than the assembly the new method will be emitted to, can result in a demand for SecurityPermission(SecurityPermissionFlag.ControlEvidence).
The rationale for this is that by injecting code into another assembly one is effectively controlling the assembly-level evidence associated with the generated code sequence. This semantic and resulting permission request holds for assembly-level and type-level dynamic methods.
Note: the implication of this is that callers can emit a new instance method onto a type in the same assembly as the caller without demanding either ReflectionPermission(ReflectionPermissionFlag.MemberAccess) or SecurityPermission(SecurityPermissionFlag.ControlEvidence) (generally, there would still be a demand for ReflectionPermission(ReflectionPermissionFlag.ReflectionEmit)). Although this is a typically weaker semantic than current Reflection.Emit models (being able to emit instance methods on types in the callers assembly gives access to privates without requiring ReflectionPermission(ReflectionPermissionFlag.MemberAccess)), it thus improves the usefulness of this feature in a partially trusted scenario for dynamic languages.
The dynamic languages 10 include substantially any type of computer language such as C#, X#, Visual Basic, ECMAScript, PHP, Perl, Scheme, Ruby, Python, and Smalltalk for example, that are compiled by the complier 160 and executed by a virtual machine described below. Such machines can include a Virtual Execution System (VES), Common Language Runtime (CLR), or Java Virtual Machine, for example. When executing intermediate language code, the virtual machine operates one or more computer applications on single or multiple computer systems (can be local and/or remote networked systems).
In general, the system 100 conforms with the ECMA Standard and Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) in which applications written in multiple high level languages may be executed in different system environments without the need to rewrite the application to take into consideration the unique characteristics of those environments. It is to be appreciated that other standards dealing with dynamic languages and/or virtual execution environments can be adapted in accordance with the present invention as well. The ECMA Standard consists of several sections which are readily available over the Internet in order to facilitate understanding various components by describing those components in their separate sections. These sections are:
The Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) provides a specification for executable code and the execution environment (the Virtual Execution System, or VES) in which it runs. Executable code is presented to the VES as modules. A module is typically a single file containing executable content in the format specified in. Generally, at the center of the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) is a single type system, the Common Type System (CTS) that is shared by compilers, tools, and the CLI itself. It is the model that defines the rules the CLI follows when declaring, using, and managing types. The CTS establishes a framework that enables cross-language integration, type safety, and high performance code execution. The CLI includes the following basic components:
Common Type System. The Common Type System (CTS) provides a rich type system that supports the types and operations found in many programming languages. The Common Type System is intended to support the complete implementation of a wide range of programming languages.
Metadata. The CLI uses metadata to describe and reference the types defined by the Common Type System. Metadata is stored ("persisted") in a way that is independent of any particular programming language. Thus, metadata provides a common interchange mechanism for use between tools that manipulate programs (compilers, debuggers, etc.) as well as between these tools and the Virtual Execution System.
Common Language Specification. The Common Language Specification is an agreement between language designers and framework (class library) designers. It specifies a subset of the CTS Type System and a set of usage conventions. Languages provide their users the greatest ability to access frameworks by implementing at least those parts of the CTS that are part of the CLS. Similarly, frameworks will be most widely used if their publicly exposed aspects (classes, interfaces, methods, fields, etc.) use types that are part of the CLS and adhere to the CLS conventions.
Virtual Execution System. The Virtual Execution System implements and enforces the CTS model. The VES is responsible for loading and running programs written for the CLI. It provides the services needed to execute managed code and data, using the metadata to connect separately generated modules together at runtime (late binding).
Together, these aspects of the CLI form a unifying framework for designing, developing, deploying, and executing distributed components and applications. The appropriate subset of the Common Type System is available from each programming language that targets the CLI. Language-based tools communicate with each other and with the Virtual Execution System using metadata to define and reference the types used to construct the application. The Virtual Execution System uses the metadata to create instances of the types as needed and to provide data type information to other parts of the infrastructure (such as remoting services, assembly downloading, security, etc.).

Turning to
A managed execution process typically includes the following processes when executing dynamic code:
In one aspect relating to code execution and formats, assemblies are the building blocks of managed applications; they form the fundamental unit of deployment, version control, reuse, activation scoping, and security permissions. An assembly is a collection of types and resources that are built to work together and form a logical unit of functionality. An assembly provides the managed system with the information it needs to be aware of type implementations, wherein a type generally does not exist outside the context of an assembly.
An assembly generally performs the following functions:
Assemblies can be static or dynamic. Static assemblies can include managed system types (interfaces and classes), as well as resources for the assembly (bitmaps, JPEG files, resource files, and so forth). Static assemblies are stored on disk in portable executable (PE) files. Users can also employ the managed framework to create dynamic assemblies, which are run directly from memory and are not saved to disk before execution.
As noted above, various libraries can be extended to support dynamic method processing in accordance with the present invention. In one aspect, a System.Reflection.Emit namespace contains classes that allow a compiler or tool to emit metadata and intermediate language and optionally generate a PE file on disk. The primary clients of these classes are script engines and compilers. The following tables include a description of a sample namespace hierarchy:
Namespace hierarchy
Value types 610
Reference types 620
Dynamic techniques employing pointers can also be applied to object serialization and de-serialization schemes at 730. Object serialization extends the core of managed Input/Output classes with support for objects. Object Serialization supports the encoding of objects, and the objects reachable from them, into a stream of bytes (or bytes to stream); and it supports the complementary reconstruction of the object graph from the stream. Serialization is used for lightweight persistence and for communication via sockets or Remote Method Invocation (RMI), for example. The default encoding of objects protects private and transient data, and supports the evolution of the classes. A class may implement its own external encoding and is then responsible for the external format. Also, dynamic pointer generation may be applied to object persistence or other object management functions at 734, Other applications 700 include such network applications as Object Spaces at 740. Object Spaces (e.g., provided in .Net) are a set of classes and interfaces that enable users to treat data as an object (or objects), independent of the underlying data store used by an application. Object Spaces builds on and contains a set of new data access APIs within a .NET Framework, for example, to provide access to relational data sources such as an SQL Server, OLE DB data sources, and so forth.
With Object Space, users can perform the following data related tasks/steps:
Get data, as objects, from a data source using a particular query criteria
Navigate one-to-many or one-to-one relationships using the objects returned
Modify the values/properties of the objects
Resolve changes back to the data source
To keep application code independent of the data source, an XML based mapping file specifies relationships between relational data and business objects as illustrated in the following sample:

The system bus 918 can be any of several types of bus structure(s) including the memory bus or memory controller, a peripheral bus or external bus, and/or a local bus using any variety of available bus architectures including, but not limited to, 11-bit bus, Industrial Standard Architecture (ISA), Micro-Channel Architecture (MSA), Extended ISA (EISA), Intelligent Drive Electronics (IDE), VESA Local Bus (VLB), Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), Universal Serial Bus (USB), Advanced Graphics Port (AGP), Personal Computer Memory Card International Association bus (PCMCIA), and Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI).
The system memory 916 includes volatile memory 920 and nonvolatile memory 922. The basic input/output system (BIOS), containing the basic routines to transfer information between elements within the computer 912, such as during start-up, is stored in nonvolatile memory 922. By way of illustration, and not limitation, nonvolatile memory 922 can include read only memory (ROM), programmable ROM (PROM), electrically programmable ROM (EPROM), electrically erasable ROM (EEPROM), or flash memory. Volatile memory 920 includes random access memory (RAM), which acts as external cache memory. By way of illustration and not limitation, RAM is available in many forms such as synchronous RAM (SRAM), dynamic RAM (DRAM), synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), double data rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM), enhanced SDRAM (ESDRAM), Synchlink DRAM (SLDRAM), and direct Rambus RAM (DRRAM).
Computer 912 also includes removable/non-removable, volatile/non-volatile computer storage media.
It is to be appreciated that
A user enters commands or information into the computer 912 through input device(s) 936. Input devices 936 include, but are not limited to, a pointing device such as a mouse, trackball, stylus, touch pad, keyboard, microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, TV tuner card, digital camera, digital video camera, web camera, and the like. These and other input devices connect to the processing unit 914 through the system bus 918 via interface port(s) 938. Interface port(s) 938 include, for example, a serial port, a parallel port, a game port, and a universal serial bus (USB). Output device(s) 940 use some of the same type of ports as input device(s) 936. Thus, for example, a USB port may be used to provide input to computer 912, and to output information from computer 912 to an output device 940. Output adapter 942 is provided to illustrate that there are some output devices 940 like monitors, speakers, and printers, among other output devices 940, that require special adapters. The output adapters 942 include, by way of illustration and not limitation, video and sound cards that provide a means of connection between the output device 940 and the system bus 918. It should be noted that other devices and/or systems of devices provide both input and output capabilities such as remote computer(s) 944.
Computer 912 can operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as remote computer(s) 944. The remote computer(s) 944 can be a personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a workstation, a microprocessor based appliance, a peer device or other common network node and the like, and typically includes many or all of the elements described relative to computer 912. For purposes of brevity, only a memory storage device 946 is illustrated with remote computer(s) 944. Remote computer(s) 944 is logically connected to computer 912 through a network interface 948 and then physically connected via communication connection 950. Network interface 948 encompasses communication networks such as local-area networks (LAN) and wide-area networks (WAN). LAN technologies include Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Copper Distributed Data Interface (CDDI), Ethernet/IEEE 1102.3, Token Ring/IEEE 1102.5 and the like. WAN technologies include, but are not limited to, point-to-point links, circuit switching networks like Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDN) and variations thereon, packet switching networks, and Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL).
Communication connection(s) 950 refers to the hardware/software employed to connect the network interface 948 to the bus 918. While communication connection 950 is shown for illustrative clarity inside computer 912, it can also be external to computer 912. The hardware/software necessary for connection to the network interface 948 includes, for exemplary purposes only, internal and external technologies such as, modems including regular telephone grade modems, cable modems and DSL modems, ISDN adapters, and Ethernet cards.
What has been described above includes examples of the present invention. It is, of course, not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components or methodologies for purposes of describing the present invention, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize that many further combinations and permutations of the present invention are possible. Accordingly, the present invention is intended to embrace all such alterations, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Furthermore, to the extent that the term "includes" is used in either the detailed description or the claims, such term is intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term "comprising" as "comprising" is interpreted when employed as a transitional word in a claim.

2013 Rankings in Canopy Formations
Thursday, 21 March 2013 11:05
With a First Category Event only being held every other year, persistence pays and there is no change in the top 3 places, even though France swept the board with gold medals in Dubai.
Ukraine, Italy, the Czech Republic and Argentina entered the competition for the first time.
In 4-Way Rotations Russia retains 1st place, with France 2nd and Belarus 3rd, so no change; but both China and Argentina enter for the first time.
4-Way Sequential had low participation in Dubai, unlike all the other disciplines – again dominated by the "big" players with USA retaining their 1st position, and France overtaking Russia to 2nd place, leaving Russia in 3rd.

Baumgartner's Records Ratified by FAI !
Friday, 22 February 2013 11:31
The FAI has today ratified the 3 world records claimed by Austrian parachutist Felix Baumgartner for Maximum Vertical Speed, Exit Altitude and Vertical Distance of Freefall.
On 14 October 2012 and supported by a team of experts from the Red Bull Stratos Mission, Felix took off from Roswell, USA, aboard a pressurised capsule attached to a helium balloon. Wearing a specially designed suit, Felix was carried high into the sky up to an altitude of 38969.4m, where he exited the capsule and launched himself down towards Earth. Felix achieved a freefall distance of 36402.6 m and reached the speed of 1357.6 km/h before opening his parachute and landing safely on the ground.
Plenary 2013 - A New Competition Class Is Born!
Sunday, 17 February 2013 20:46
The 2012 CIVL Plenary in JiaoXi, Chinese Taipei, had decided that a new Competition Class should be created, implemented in 2014 and included in a "light" EN certification as soon as possible.
The 2013 CIVL Plenary in Lausanne, Switzerland, discussed at length the Paragliding Subcommittee proposals, amended it, and voted almost unanimously (minus 1 voice) for the implementation of a new CIVL-EN Competition Class (CECC).
For the first time, all parties involved in the decision making process agreed in a long term solution that comes as a conclusion to 14 years of debate about Serial vs. Open in Category 1 competitions (see our historical analysis here).
CIVL, EHPU, PWCA, test pilots and PMA worked on a compromise that they agreed is the best long-term solution available.
The implementation date of the new CECC has been pushed back to 2015 so that:
This new regulation concerns only Category 1 competitions. Regarding category 2 events, NACs are responsible for managing the sport in their own territories and are best placed to make judgements on which rules are appropriate for their events.
CIAM Flyer (01-2013) - Flying in an Unbelievably Blue Winter Sky
Thursday, 14 February 2013 12:15
For many years, model airplanes have been flown in wintertime on the frozen lake in Davos in the Swiss alps. The conditions may be a bit special but are not nearly as nasty as aeromodellers in warmer hemispheres may think.
Thermals when flying in Winter?
"These are less likely in midwinter – but ridge and wave soaring from the bottom of the valley are possible," says a local model pilot, "but the stable weather conditions bring high-altitude winds in which we can sometimes – keeping a safe distance from the mountain – fly to very high altitudes with lift continuously increasing with altitude".

RaboDirect Pro12: Scarlets held to draw by Zebre in Parma
Last Updated: 25/10/13 10:46pm
Rhys Priestland came off the bench to rescue a 16-16 draw for Scarlets in their RaboDirect Pro12 match against Zebre in Italy.
Luciano Orquera had edged Zebre in front in the 77th minute with a penalty before Priestland responded in kind in the final minute.
The Welsh side opened the scoring in the fourth minute with a penalty from Stephen Shingler but it was not the sign of things to come.
Instead, Zebre created the game's opening try on 15 minutes, centre Gonzalo Garcia touching down.
Tommaso Iannone added the conversion and a penalty soon afterwards to give the Italians a 10-3 advantage.
Scarlets scrum-half Gareth Davies crossed for the visitors in the 28th minute and Shingler's conversion levelled things up.
Zebre reclaimed the lead through Iannone's second penalty in the 66th minute before Priestland, on for Shingler at stand-off, slotted one of his own with seven minutes left to make it 13-13.
And the pattern played out again in the closing stages; replacement Orquera giving Zebre a three-point lead, only for Priestland to deny them at the end.

Rancho Novato
Rancho Novato was a 8,871-acre (35.90 km2) Mexican land grant in present day Marin County, California given in 1839 by Governor Juan Alvarado to Fernando Feliz (or Felix).[1] The grant extended along San Pablo Bay, from Black Point to Rancho San Jose, and included the land that now encompasses the city of Novato.[2][3][4][5]
Fernando De La Trinidad Feliz (May 30, 1795, Los Angeles, California – November 12, 1859, Hopland, California),[6] who was a regidor (town councilman) at the Pueblo of San José in 1831, received the two square league grant in 1839.[7]
In 1844, Feliz was grantee of Rancho Sanel in Mendocino County, California, and sold Rancho Novato to Jacob P. Leese, and moved to Rancho Sanel. In 1846, Leese sold Rancho Novato to Bezer Simmons,[8] who erected a large wooden house on it in 1850. In 1846, Capt. Bezer Simmons also bought Rancho San Diego Island (now Coronado) from Pedro C. Carillo.[9] Simmons assigned the rancho to his creditors: Bezer J. Simmons, Benjamin F[ranklin]. Simmons (Bezer Simmons' brother), W. W. Parker, S. Needham, John H. Allen, Andrew McCabe, James Johnson, and Halleck, Peachy & Billings.
With the cession of California to the United States following the Mexican-American War, the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo provided that the land grants would be honored. As required by the Land Act of 1851, a claim for Rancho Novato was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1852,[10] and the grant was patented to his creditors in 1866.[11]
James Johnson and Andrew McCabe bought out the other creditors, and in 1857 sold Rancho Novato to Francis DeLong and Joseph Sweetser. Francis C. DeLong (June 10, 1808, Cornwall, Vermont – February 11, 1885, Novato) came to California in 1850, and opened a grocery store in San Francisco. He and Joseph Sweetser, a former merchant, became business partners. Sweetser and De Long planted a large orchard of apple, pear, and apricot trees along the banks of Novato Creek. In 1879 Sweetser and DeLong dissolved their partnership, with Sweetser selling all of his holdings to DeLong except for one square mile that is today's downtown Novato.

I actually feel really good sober. It's weird but my mood is better. I feel more energetic. My memory is better. It's pretty neat. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't been tempted to drink again. Just outside of where I'm typing there is a cavalcade of alcohol waiting to be drunk. But I don't want to lose how I'm feeling now. It's nice because I have been stressed this week. Not everything has gone perfectly. I've been overwhelmed by clients. Money is a continuous problem as a student. But I'm not drinking despite the stress. I'm proud of myself.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - Miss America contestants from Mississippi and New Hampshire have won the first night of preliminary competition as the pageant returned to Atlantic City after a six-year absence.
Samantha Russo, Miss New Hampshire, won a $2,000 scholarship in the talent competition Tuesday by singing "Don't Rain On My Parade" from the musical "Funny Girl."
Miss Mississippi, Chelsea Rick, won a $1,000 scholarship in the lifestyle and fitness competition, also known as the swimsuit competition.
Two more nights of preliminary competition will take place Wednesday and Thursday, followed by the traditional "show us your shoes" parade on the Boardwalk on Saturday, and the nationally televised finale Sunday night.
The pageant began in 1921 in Atlantic City, but has been held in Las Vegas the past six years.

Are you ready for a G.I. Joe sequel? Actor Dennis Quaid is! In fact, in a recent interview Quaid cited his excitement over the prospect of reprising the role of 'General Hawk.'
However, the actor does cite one condition! In an interview with SciFi, Quaid stated that he wants his character to see a lot more action in the upcoming film.
"I'm definitely on board if they do another one...I don't know if they have a script yet, but I'm definitely interested."
I can completely see the accelerator suit, but the horse? Are you guys excited to see a sequel to 'G.I. Joe'? Do you think Stephen Sommers will manage to bring Dennis Quaid's horse on board without turning the 'G.I. Joe' sequel into a western?
"I want to get out of the pit," says Quaid. "I want to ride a horse and shoot a gun. I want a horse with an accelerator suit."

Wow man, I know that it takes alot to beat out Chrono Trigger on your list!! This definitely makes me want to build a new PC to handle Crysis! Great blog bro!
I dislike the whole open endedness of Crysis, and Fry Cry, so I really can't understand that choice. Though, I'm sure that will change in the next six months.
Crysis? favourite game of all time? I disagree but I respect your decision.
Crysis has taken the top spot eh? Nice. I really need to try that game.
Yea man I loved that game too but before I could finish my computer broke and is still being fixed :((((

Carcassonne. Best game ever.
I'm also a fan of Crysis, very underrated. Everyone says "MEEH IT'S JUST A TECH DEMO!!!" When really, it has some fantastic open-ended gameplay. The only game I know that has similar gameplay is Far Cry, which is another game I loved, but you can't be the predator with a cloaking mechanism in Far Cry.
Second half of the game is kind of "bleah" but the first half is just so amazing.
I actually loved the second half of the game, perhaps even moreso than the first half, unlike most people. The entire game was fantastic for me.

SSR2013 errors when doing granular email restore
I have SSR2013 installed on Windows Server 2012 and am trying to restore some emails.
I've been able to load the Restore file (.sv2i) no problem and can view the different email databaes and their accounts and emails from within the SSR2013 Granular Restore Option program.
However when I try to Recover an email it straight away fails with the below errors.
Followed by:
and then finally:
This final error will come up continually if I click Ok and I need to crash out of the program.
Office 2010 is installed on this server and the version of Exchange that I'm recovering from is Exchange 2010.
I'm able to do a granular restore on files without any problem.
I've tried using different backup sets but get the same error every time and have also tried installing the granular restore option on an alternative server but got these same errors.
I don't know if i'm missing something obvious here because i've successfully done it fine on other sites I manage but since setting it up at this site it just won't work.
Any ideas?

Westlake Village City Council seat remains in limbo
Westlake Village's City Council election was only half-settled Wednesday as the outcome for one of two open seats remained undecided.
The final tally is not expected until Monday, but the challenger trailing by 39 votes isn't too optimistic about closing the gap.
There was no doubt about first place. Voters gave first-term incumbent Ned Davis an early lead in the race for two seats on the five-member panel that held throughout Tuesday night. The 54-year-old management consultant received 1,221 votes, with all precincts reporting.
Davis said he plans to encourage the construction of sidewalks in the city in his second term.
"It's hard to believe," Davis said of the results. "So I will just keep doing what I've always done. It's not about me; it's about the city, and I am here for a little while. It's nice that people have confidence in you."
Voters were more divided on the second open seat. On Wednesday, Councilwoman Philippa Klessig held a slim lead over challenger Chris Mann, 884 votes to 845.
There are 145 votes outstanding — 80 vote-by-mail ballots and 65 provisional ballots — with the final count not expected to end until Monday. Provisional ballots have been sent via fax to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder's Office for signature verification, and the vote-by-mail ballots can't be counted until the city does its official canvass Monday, said Westlake Village City Clerk Beth Schott.
Klessig, who is seeking a third term, said she remains optimistic, while Mann isn't.
"You just never know with elections. Strange things have happened, but I am not optimistic," Mann, 35, said. "It's likely we will see the gap tighten, but I am not sure it will be enough to change the outcome."
Neil Ticktin, who runs the Westlake Revelations blog and hosted a candidates forum, said he expected Davis to be ahead. He credited it to what he called Davis' view of being an underdog.
"He did a lot of walking," Ticktin said of Davis. "He put a lot of heart and soul into it. I think everybody expected him to come out on top, noticeably on top."
For Klessig and Mann, the result could hinge on their campaign approaches, Ticktin said. He said Mann relied on traditional marketing, while Klessig focused on being neighborly.
Mann, owner of Mann Communications, was elected to the council in 1999 at age 24, then moved away after his term ended in 2003. He recently moved back. He was endorsed by Councilmen Bob Slavin and Sue McSweeney.
Klessig, 61, said the endorsements surprised and bothered her but said council members have worked through issues in the past.
"We will have to sit down and re-evaluate," she said.
If she keeps her seat, the landscape architect said she would like to address the traffic speeds on Lindero Canyon in the West Oak Canyon area and look at the possibility of low lighting and a pathway in the First Neighborhood.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 12/4/12
NEW YORK -- The Oklahoma City Thunder came in hot and looked flat-out steaming for most of the first three quarters, but the Brooklyn Nets made them work to the end for their sixth consecutive victory. The Thunder shot 60.6 percent from the field and did not miss a free throw until the final moments. But they still somehow couldn't shake the Nets, who hit one clutch 3-pointer after the other to nudge themselves back in the game. Finally, thanks to 32 points from Kevin Durant and 25 from Russell Westbrook, the Thunder held on for a 117-111 victory Tuesday night at the Barclays Center. The Thunder won for the 14th time in their last 16 games, and they beat the Nets for the seventh consecutive game. Brooklyn, playing without injured center Brook Lopez for the third game in a row and also missing Reggie Evans, out with the flu, could only take solace in offering a tough test to a defending NBA finalist for the second straight game. "They had three all-stars on the court. We ain'...
