Eighth grade. Some of my friends were overand we decided to try a cheer maneuver we'd seen at my older sister's practice. I volunteered to be the flyer and they ended up dropping me. Landed on my wrist wrong and broke it. Oops. Dumb move on our part, looking back.

ENI drills deep appraisal well in Barents Sea, encounters gas & oil columns
ENI has successfully drilled the appraisal well 7220/5-1 in the Skrugard discovery field 200 kilometres off the Norwegian coast.The well was drilled at a water depth of 388 metres, reaching a total depth of 1,740 metres at a site located approximately 3 kilometres from the Skrugard-1 discovery.
A gas column of about 25 metres and an oil column of 48 metres was encountered in the Middle - Lower Jurassic reservoir, Stø & Nordmela Formations. Intensive data collection and sampling have been carried out in the well-bore and the results show a reservoir of excellent quality.
The aim of the appraisal well was to prove the hydrocarbon extension in the middle section of the Skrugard structure. Estimates confirm that Skrugard holds at least 250 million barrels of recoverable oil and approximately 10 billion standard cubic metres of associated and free gas. Together with the Havis field, discovered at the beginning of this year 7 kilometres south-west Skrugard in the PL532 license, recoverable oil reserves are now over 500 million barrels. These will enable the license partners to carry out an efficient development plan and to rapidly put resources into production.
During the year Eni plans to carry out further exploration activities in the Barents Sea , where the company will drill the Bønna prospect in the PL 529 license area and the Salina prospect in the PL 533 license area as the Operator. In autumn 2012, Eni will also start drilling 22 production wells for the Goliat project.
Eni is the only Company along with Statoil to be present in all three commercial oil discoveries in the Barents Sea. With Goliat, Skrugard and Havis in its portfolio, Eni now has a 30-year outlook for its activities in the Barents Sea developing a strong foothold in the early phase of a high potential oil province on the Norwegian continental shelf .

The subsistence harvest of wild resources is important to the livelihood and culture of many Alaskans, both Native and non-Native. Subsistence harvests of fish and game represent a significant portion of the diet in rural Alaska, and are managed with a priority over other uses such as sport and commercial fishing.
This villager from Pt. Hope shows off her bucket of cloudberries.
Subsistence is the term used to refer to the gathering of wild resources (usually food) for personal necessities. Through most of history all human beings survived by subsistence but much of mankind now has replaced these activities with the division of labor, specialization, and trade.
Alaskan and Federal law define subsistence similarly, as the "customary and traditional uses" of wild resources for food, clothing, fuel, transportation, construction, art, crafts, sharing, and customary trade. "Customary and traditional" therefore includes activities such as harvesting fish for food, as well as for example the collection of caribou antlers for traditional crafts.
The subsistence harvest of food is an important part of life in Alaska, particularly in rural areas of Alaska, which includes 20% of the state's population. In 1999 (the last year for which a statewide analysis of subsistence harvesting was done) rural Alaskans acquired 35% of their required daily calories from subsistence hunting and fishing. In western Alaska this number was 62%, and represented 664 pounds of wild foods per person. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game estimated that the market "replacement value" of the 43.7 million pounds of subsistence foods harvested in Alaska was $131-219 million in 1999.
A large number of plant and animals species are harvested in Alaska; statewide, 60% of the subsistence harvest by weight is fish, 20% is land mammals, and 14% is marine mammals, while birds, shellfish, and plants each make up around 2%. Though federal law normally prohibits the hunting of marine mammals, exceptions for subsistence use are permitted in Alaska for native Alaskans only. Various communities in the state therefore harvest seals, sea lions, otters, polar bears, walrus and whales.

In addition to nutrition and calories, subsistence is an integral part of the culture of many Native groups in Alaska. Subsistence is considered an important "socioeconomic activity" and has been legally recognized as such. Participation in subsistence activities is very high in almost all rural communities and sharing between more and less capable households is an important part of the sense of community. For example 83% of rural Alaskan households report being involved in the subsistence fishery, but fully 95% of rural Alaskan households report using fish from this harvest.
Though subsistence is focused on resources that have been used for millennia, modern technology now plays a big role. Guns, snow machines, ATVs, and motor boats all figure very strongly into subsistence hunting and fishing. Electric chest freezers are ubiquitous in most areas, making preservation much easier. Even current information technologies such as depth sounders, cell phones, and detailed charts, maps, and satellite photos have their uses in modern subsistence harvesting.
Consumption of subsistence foods in Alaska is also nowadays correlated strongly with the consumption of highly-processed and shelf-stable products such as soda, canned soup, and white rice. This means that many rural subsistence diets have for example high levels of protein and Vitamin A but often insufficient levels of fiber and calcium. These diets often also tend to be too high in fats and refined sugars. There are also worries about the levels of modern environmental contaminants, such as mercury and persistent organic pollutants, in a number of subsistence foods.

Because of the continued importance of wild food harvests in Alaska, subsistence users are given legal priority over sport and commercial users for both fishing and hunting. Subsistence in Alaska is managed by both state and federal authorities depending on where the harvesting takes place. The biggest difference between state and federal regulations is that the state recognizes all Alaskans as potential subsistence users and the federal government only recognizes rural Alaskans. In addition, the state and federal governments have agreed on "non-subsistence areas" in more densely populated areas, such as around Fairbanks, Anchorage, the Mat-Su valley and the Kenai Peninsula, where subsistence harvesting is prohibited. However, these areas have "personal use" fisheries that allow limited, subsistence-style, fish harvests (gill nets, fish wheels, etc.). Legal access to personal use fisheries in some of these areas is based on income.

Apple retail stores turn out best third quarter yetThe fledgling retail business at Apple Inc. continued its steady pace of growth last quarter, with its U.S.-based stores alone posting both higher revenue and Mac unit sales than that of the entire worldwide segment during the year-ago quarter.
For the third fiscal quarter of 2007 ended June 30, Apple's 164 U.S. retail stores combined for sales in excess of $800 million, which was significantly above the $715 million in revenue recorded for the entire Apple retail segment — including international stores — during the third fiscal quarter of last year.
Well-placed sources indicate that the segment's rising revenue was driven not only by an increase in store count, but also significant growth amongst many of the company's existing locations. Nearly every store was able to handily meet or beat internal sales targets for the quarter that had been prescribed by the corporate division, those sources say.
Of those Apple retail stores that have been operating for at least a year, 90 percent saw flat to modest growth over the year-ago quarter, including nearly 45 percent which saw revenues rise in excess of 25 percent. Sales were particularly strong in the South Central and Mid-Atlantic regions, sources added.
Fueling the record setting third quarter, those same sources said, was a sharp uptick in sales of the Cupertino-based firm's Mac computer line. The 164 U.S.-based stores combined to sell more than 275,000 systems, besting all but two quarters in Apple Retail segment history before tallies from international stores are factored into the mix.
iPods were also an important factor for Apple Retail during the third quarter, but were a less material growth driver for the outlets than their Mac counterparts. The U.S.-based stores combined to sell over 730,000 of the digital media players before all attention turned to iPhone during the final two days of the quarter. When broken down, that figure turns out to just over 50 players per store, per day.
Apple, which reports results of its fiscal third quarter on July 25th, is expected to offer additional color on its retail performance, including actual profits, foot traffic, and revenue totals that factor in its international chain.

Publishers are making the investment in native ads and sponsored content because the engagement metrics show a favorable reader experience. While the signs point to native ads being here to stay, publishers still have a lot of room to improve and optimize the native ad experience before it has long-lasting appeal. One opportunity that publishers can take to enhance their native ad program is by delivering a custom site search experience that helps advertisers reach their target audience while also showing fast and relevant results to readers. Here are three ways to successfully incorporate native ads into your reader's search experience.

IBM Corp. filed two lawsuits against Amazon.com Inc. claiming key aspects of the internet retailer's websites violate patents held by Big Blue. According to the lawsuit, Amazon is accused of infringing on five IBM patents, including technologies that govern how the site handles customer recommendations, advertising, and data storage.
IBM said hundreds of other companies have licensed the same patents, and that it tried to negotiate licensing fees with Amazon "over a dozen times since 2002" but "Amazon.com has refused every time." IBM said its two lawsuits were filed in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas, one in the Tyler Division and the other in the Lufkin Division.

There are number of object oriented software technologies including COM, C++ and Java, for example. A COM object, for example, is a piece of software with data and one or more interfaces, each with one or more methods. A method is a function or procedure accomplished by an object. An interface allows a client to access a method contained in an object by acquiring pointers to the object's methods.
Microsoft's COM programming technology makes use of reusable component software which is programming language independent. Thus, COM objects can be developed in any object oriented programming language. To use a COM object, client software must start an object by causing an instance of that object to execute. Thus, a client may start a large number of software objects which may be used for a period of time. Since objects include methods and data, they unnecessarily use up memory. Therefore it is desirable to delete these objects when they are no longer useful. The act of deleting the objects, sometimes called freeing the object, simply eliminates the instance of the object.
In COM technology, reference counting is used to determine when an object will stop executing. This in effect determines what is called the object's lifetime, which extends from the point when it is instantiated to the point when it is deleted. Reference counting is implemented by an interface called IUnknown and its methods AddRef and Release.
A client may start an object, acquire interface pointers to the object's interfaces, and then pass those interface pointers on to other clients which may in turn pass them on to still other clients. If the first client were to delete the object when the first client was done with the object, the other clients may not be able to complete their use of the object. One client generally does not know when the other clients are done with an object. Thus, the object keeps track of when each client is finished with it using reference counting. Reference counting in COM involves maintaining a 32 bit reference count, stored in system memory.
Whenever an interface pointer is passed to a new client, the object adds one to its reference count. A client that receives an interface pointer from a client must invoke the add reference method ("call AddRef on the pointer") using the pointer. The referenced object then increments its reference count. Generally, in COM technology, it is the client that invokes AddRef and Release. When the client is done with the interface pointer, it is must call Release on that pointer. This causes the object to decrement its counter.
Thus, in COM technology, an object self-destructs, deletes itself or frees itself when its reference count is zero. In this way, the reference count determines the object's lifetime.
In COM technology, artificial reference counting allows the reference count to be artificially incremented to prevent inadvertent deletion of the object. See COM Specification, Microsoft Corporation (1995), Chapter 3, Section 1.3, available at www.microsoft.com (hereinafter the Microsoft COM Specification). The Microsoft COM Specification indicates that an implementation of a method may invoke functions which have a chance of decrementing the reference count, causing the object to release before the function returns to the object. This would cause a crash. One way around this is to insert an AddRef at the beginning of the method which is paired with a Release just before returning:
void IInterface: :FOO(Void) {
this →AddRef ( ) ;
*Body of Foo, as before except short-circuit returns
* need to be changed.
this→Release ( ) ;
This use of artificial reference counts guarantees object stability while processing is done, according to the Microsoft COM Specification.
However, the artificial reference counting techniques described in the Microsoft COM Specification do not give considerable flexibility. The object's lifetime is effectively determined synchronously because once the program reaches the inserted Release, the reference count is decremented and the object will be deleted, regardless of whether the object was able to complete all necessary tasks. This could be a substantial problem in a number of instances which involve asynchronous tasks. An example of an asynchronous task would be terminating a remote network connection, which may take an indeterminant amount of time. The object may need to wait for a response from the remote network (which response time may be determined by various network conditions).
Another system for determining object lifetimes is provided by the Java software which does not use reference counting but instead uses what is somewhat inelegantly called a "garbage collector". From time to time, the garbage collector examines objects to determine whether there are any remaining references from clients to that object. When all of those references have been released, the garbage collector deletes the object. Thus, it may be that the garbage collector realizes that the object is no longer referenced and deletes the object at an inopportune time. The object may, for example, be attempting to complete a task when it is deleted. The client may well expect incorrectly, that the object, while no longer referenced, will complete certain necessary tasks after its reference has been released.
Thus, there is a continuing need for software technologies which enable flexible control of object lifetimes.
In accordance with one aspect, a method of controlling the lifetime of an object shared by multiple clients in a computer system involves deleting the object if the object is in a first state when all client references to the object are released. The object is preserved if it is in a second state when all client references to the object are released.
In accordance with another aspect, a method for controlling an object's lifetime in a computer system may include notifying the object when all clients have released the object. Thereafter, the object is deleted.
FIG. 1 is a flow diagram for one embodiment;
FIG. 2 is a flow diagram for an implementation in accordance with COM technology; and
FIG. 3 shows an illustrative COM object useful in connection with the flow shown in FIG. 2.
The lifetime of software objects may be controlled asynchronously in a variety of object oriented software languages and technologies. This would include, without limitation, C++, COM, ActiveX, Java, and Visual Basic. When a client in any object oriented technology no longer wants or needs an object, it may release its reference to that object. This may or may not mean that the client expects the object to continue to perform some task on its own, but generally suggests that the client will not again invoke the object's interfaces or functions. Thus, the term "reference" is used herein to refer to the invocation by a client of an object's functions.
Referring now to FIG. 1, initially an object is in the synchronous state (block 10) which means that its lifetime will be determined by the standard techniques provided by a given technology. In the case of COM technology, this would involve reference counting.
In diamond 12, a decision is made as to whether the object has an asynchronous task to perform. An asynchronous task would be any task that may not complete in a set, determinable time frame. One example of an asynchronous task would be an operation which requires terminating a remote network connection. The time duration for this task cannot necessarily be determined because it is a function of what is going on at the remote location. The object may need to run code to shut down the network connection, after all references to the object have been released, but the amount of time necessary to accomplish this function may not be determinable.
If the object does not have any asynchronous tasks to perform, a check is made at diamond 14 to determine whether all references have been released. If not, the object's lifetime continues. If all references have been released, the object is deleted using the conventional techniques for deleting objects in the given technology.
If asynchronous tasks are involved, as indicated at block 16, the object is placed in the asynchronous state. The object's state is typically determined by a tag or flag. The flag indicates which of the two states the object is in. At diamond 26, a check is made to determine if all references to the object have been released. If not, the object's lifetime is continued. If all references have been released, the object is notified, as indicated at block 28.
The notification to the object that all references have been released may be important. The object may need to know that all references have been released because it may need to take certain action at that point. While in some technologies this may involve actually having the object notify itself that all references have been released, the step of notifying the object of the release of all references allows the object to undertake tasks necessary at that point. For example, the object may need to take steps to terminate a given connection after all references to the object have been released. Next at diamond 30, a check is made to determine whether the asynchronous task has been completed and if so, the object is deleted. If not, the object's lifetime is continued.
The provision of two lifetime states allows the object's lifetime to be determined differently depending on the circumstances. This allows considerable flexibility in determining object lifetime to best meet the needs and functions which the software is implementing rather than having lifetime determined by rigid, inflexible rules. Further, it allows asynchronous tasks to be completed with certainty without the possibility of inadvertent deletion of the object before the necessary tasks have been completed. One valuable attribute which may be achieved by distinguishing between states is the ability to notify the object under certain circumstances (and not others) when all references to the object have been released. This notification allows the object to take appropriate action under those circumstances.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a technique for controlling the lifetime of a COM object in accordance with the methodology shown in FIG. 1, begins with the creation of an object in the synchronous state, as indicated at block 34. Generally, the synchronous state uses the conventional COM technology for controlling object lifetime. For example, when a client references the object, its reference count is incremented as indicated in diamond 36 and when a reference is released, the reference count is decremented, as shown in diamond 38. Likewise, when the reference count equals zero, the object is destroyed, as indicated at diamond 40.
Information about the state of the object 20 may be contained within the object itself as indicated at 18 in FIG. 3. The reference count 24 may also be stored by the object. The object may include interfaces 22.
Returning to FIG. 2, if it is determined that the object needs to accomplish an asynchronous task, a flag is set, as indicated at diamond 42, the reference count is incremented as indicated at diamond 44, and the object enters the asynchronous state indicated at block 46. Once in the asynchronous state, new references to the object increment the reference count as indicated at diamond 48. Releasing of a reference results in a decrement of reference count as shown at diamond 50 in the conventional fashion.
However, in the asynchronous state, a check is made at diamond 52 to determine whether the reference count equals one. If not, the object returns to the asynchronous state 46. If the reference count equals one, the object is notified as indicated at diamond 54. This would correspond to the condition where all references have been released (because the reference count has been artificially incremented by one at block 44).
By notifying the object that all references to it have been released, the object can then implement its asynchronous tasks, as indicated at diamond 56 which need to be accomplished after the release of all references. The notification of the object indicated at 54 can be implemented by calling a function on the object or the object may itself include the "to do" list of tasks as indicated at block 56. After the asynchronous tasks are completed, the object returns to the asynchronous state, the reference count is decremented, as indicated at diamond 58, the flag is reset, as indicated at diamond 60, and the object returns to the synchronous state 34. The object is then deleted since its reference count, determined at diamond 40, is now equal to zero.
In the implementation shown in FIG. 2, the object operates differently based on its reference count being zero in the synchronous state or one in the asynchronous state. The system knows which state the object is in based on the flag setting. Thus, in the synchronous state, a reference count equal to zero corresponds to the release of all references, while in the asynchronous state, a reference count equal to one corresponds to the release of all references. In the asynchronous state, the additional task of notifying the object can be accomplished, as indicated at 54, to enable the object to then take desired post release of references tasks. Thus, through the system of differentiated states, the object can implement asynchronous activities in a disparate way as necessary.
While the present invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate numerous modifications and variations therefrom. It is intended that the appended claims cover all such modifications and variations as fall within the true spirit and scope of the present invention.

Clipper Round the World Race - Race 12 begins after Panama Canal exit
by Clipper Ventures on 14 May 2014
Start of race 12 following the fleet's transit of the Panama Canal Clipper Ventures
In the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, the teams went through the 51-mile long Panama Canal, named one of the world's seven modern wonders, in its centenary year and amidst a US$5.25 billion expansion programme.
It is one of the busiest waterways in the world, playing a vital role in world trade and transport linking the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific.
Skipper of Jamaica Get All Right, Pete Stirling, said the transit will be one of the highlights of Leg 7 and an experience all the crew will remember.
'This was my fourth transit of the canal but it never ceases to be an awe inspiring experience. This year is the 100th anniversary of the opening of the canal and it currently employs 9,500 people and carries more than 14,000 vessels a year between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
'The six Clipper 70s were dwarfed in the locks which are each 1,000 feet long and 150 feet wide,' he added.
Skipper of Switzerland Vicky Ellis, who is also an engineer, added that three locks took the convoy of Clipper 70s up 26 metres from Pacific sea level to the inland lake and another series of three locks dropped it back down to Atlantic sea level.
'Our jolly pilot, Edgar, boarded in the early morning and guided us through the whole route. He is a senior pilot with over 20 years' experience so usually pilots the major cargo vessels or cruise liners.
'However that day he had been put on a Clipper 70 yacht full of 20 people keen and eager to know all about the canal. Luckily he didn't disappoint and spent the whole canal transit explaining about its history, the new centenary extension plans and the role of the pilots on the route,' she added.
A Le Mans start 30 miles off the Panama coast at first light local time (around 12pm UTC Wednesday) will mark the commencement of the 590 mile sprint to Jamaica.
The short upwind race will be punctuated by easterly trade winds of 10 to 15 knots moving their way through the Caribbean Sea.
Clipper Race Director Justin Taylor added the race will be won or lost on helming skills. 'It's possible to get round the eastern end of Jamaica in one tack and those boats that do that will do well. The race will require a lot of concentration and as the fleet will be so tightly packed, it will be pretty stressful. I don't think the skippers will get any sleep between Panama and Jamaica.
'Every little bit counts in every race, but this one will be particularly intense and I anticipate a very close finish.'
The boats are expected to arrive into Errol Flynn Marina, Port Antonio between 17-18 May.
To read all the skipper reports,
