SAN MATEO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/31/13 -- Selectica, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTC), provider of software that accelerates sales cycles and streamlines contract processes, today announced financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2013, ended December 31, 2012.
"We are very pleased with our top line results for the third quarter of fiscal 2013," said Jason Stern, President and CEO of Selectica. "Both total and recurring revenue continued to climb, up 36% and 35% respectively over the third quarter of fiscal 2012. We've also completed more transactions -- and generated nearly as much revenue -- in the first three quarters of this year than we did in all four quarters of last year."
Financial highlights
Selectica delivered the following financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2013:
- Recurring revenue: Selectica grew recurring revenue from $2.3 million in Q3 FY 2012 to $3.1 million in Q3 FY2013, a year-over-year increase of 35%. Recurring revenue in Q2 FY2013 was $3.0 million.
- Billings: Billings for Q3 FY2013 were $4.2 million, compared to $4.5 million in Q3 FY2012, a 7% decrease year-over-year. Billings were $3.8 million in Q2 FY2013. The company defines billings, a non-GAAP financial measure, as revenue recognized during the period plus the change in deferred revenue from the beginning to the end of the period. Please refer to the financial tables below for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to GAAP.
- Deferred revenue: In Q3 FY2013, the company had deferred revenue of $5.5 million, a 22% year-over-year increase from Q3 FY2012, when deferred revenue was $4.5 million. In Q2 FY2013, deferred revenue was $5.8 million.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

FORT WAYNE – Ronald "Twin" Williams, 27, has been sentenced in Allen Superior Court to 65 years in the March murder of 25-year-old Mark Brian Young Jr.
They began arguing on a ride home from a south-side bar and, in spite of the attempts of others in the car to get them to calm down, the argument escalated and ended with Williams shooting Young multiple times.
Two women in the car that night testified they saw Williams pull up to a house, go inside and come back with his hand in his pocket. Out of that pocket, moments later, he pulled a chrome revolver as he continued to rant over who had more "street cred."
The argument began over Young's desire to be dropped off at Eden Green apartments, which Williams resisted because of the presence of police in the area at that time of night. A few moments later, Williams pulled the car over and both he and Young got out. The two women got out of the car, and both reported hearing gunshots as they were just a few yards away.
A neighbor getting up for work witnessed the shooting, seeing one man shoot another man repeatedly as he fell into the street. About 3:30 a.m. March 15, police found Young's body in the 3400 block of Reed Street. He was pronounced dead at a Fort Wayne hospital a short time later.
The car Williams was driving was found crashed a few blocks away at Colerick Street and Bowser Avenue, according to court documents. Williams, of the 3700 block of South Park Drive, was arrested and charged a few weeks later.

Therefor I'm grateful most. Thank you everyone I've met along my way in all those years just as in my most recent travels through Germany and Amsterdam!"

The main hub of activity has been happening outside the galleries – in offices, store rooms, libraries, archives and conservation studios. Here we research, develop and refine new content for the galleries.

It was fun putting this together and although some visitors moved past it quickly others poured over the documents fascinated. The documents ranged from the first contract for Hilda Munnings (about to become Munningsova and later Lydia Sokolova), together with a letter from her father as in 1913 she was underage to sign a legal document, through to a petty cash receipt for Alicia …

One of the fascinating things about design drawings, at least to me, is that you often can't tell whether they are for presentation, for working out a design concept, or just recording an object once it's finished. Sometimes, perhaps, there is a bit of all three going on. The confusion really sets in when you see aesthetic touches on what you would otherwise expect to be a 'working sketch.' For whose benefit has the drawing been prettied up? Maybe the draftsman was taking pride in the work. Maybe there was an internal politics in play, where the designer wants the …

RC 500 Channel Strip Overview Video
August 27,2014
It's rare to find a truly outstanding solid-state channel strip that can deliver a vintage vibe reminiscent of classic high-end products, yet employs a thoroughly modern design. To find one that you can buy without heavily depleting your bank account is even more rare. But there is one channel strip that delivers the goods without the big tab: the PreSonus RC 500.
Every instrument in this video was recorded through the PreSonus RC 500 – even the voice over!

Good ol' Jake Owen. Shortly before his appearance at the BMI Summer Block Party to celebrate his hit, Beachin', Jake landed an interview at the Greek Theatre with none other with Larry King, the man who invented interviews, way back in 1437. Check out the video below to get a bit of backstory on Jake's formative years and get some of his stories from the road. While it's hard to look past Jake's perfect teeth and rugged heartthrobby-ness, try. Racked in the back you'll find a bevy of familiar, handsome PreSonus gear.
Anything back there you recognize? If so, what? VIDEO SCAVENGER HUNT! (Fun fact: you can also conduct analog scavenger hunts while beachin'.) All that gear is currently on the road with Jake, allowing him to record while on the road, mobile-studio style. steadyb and Rachel have been on working with the Jake Owen team at the above-mentioned BMI show, along with the Morris Sound and Light crew. All of them are great people to both work and be stuck in a bus with.
Larry King isn't the only one who's taken notice of Jake. Here's a writeup of the concert from a little magazine called "Rolling Stone."

Nimbit Artist of the Week: Drum Corp International!
August 14,2014
Well, this is a refreshing a change of pace from the typical Artist-of-the-Week. Up this time around is Drum Corp International, AKA DCI to those in-the-know, which now includes you.
Were this the usual singer/songwriter or rock band, this is the part where I would talk about where they are from, or their musical influences, or key band members. But how do I write about an organization made up of multiple bands, comprised of talented folks from all over the world?
I can't, except to say that contemporary drum corp is the torchbearer for a richly storied tradition with origins in American and Canadian military history that goes back to the first world war, with competitive circuits really coming into their own by the 1960s.
Drum Corps International formed in 1972, and is the non-profit governing body for junior (under-21) drum and bugle corps in the US and Canada.
Over at the DCI Nimbit store, once can download a metric tonne of live competition performances from prestigious venues like the Alamodome and University of Akron's InfoCision Stadium. Recordings contain championship performances from some of DCIs brightest and boldest. You can also grab a DCI hoodie or a DCI SNOWFLAKE CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT, just in time for… September?
Last but not least, you can get DVD and Blu-ray recordings of the 2013 and 2012 world championships, as well as the cutting-edge DCI Essentials collection, which includes top performances from DCI performances of yesteryear; up-converted to HD with a 5.1 audio mix. DVD is a great way to go, as drum corp is a highly visual medium.
Incidentally, PreSonus is a proud sponsor of DCI wunderkind The Blue Devils, who recently took first place at the DCI annual championship. Not only did they win, but they got the highest score ever in the history of DCI competition—a 99.65. They've been using PreSonus StudioLive AI Mixers and Loudspeakers in their performances for a little under a year, now, and we're proud to have been a part of their prestigious victory. Check out a detailed overview of their set up at: musiced.presonus.com/

You've proven your status as my target demographic by clicking the link that got you to this blog.
How did I know that? Well, you're here, and that means you're an online sort of musician. As such, I thought you'd like to know that Carl recently set up one heckuva handsome PreSonus-branded online storefront over on Amazon.com, where you can shop for all things PreSonus, and no things anybody else.
Click around. Read reviews. Get yourself some new Eris monitors—they, in particular, are killin' it over there, with a review score average of 5/5 from no less than 27 reviews.
Of course, if you're of the old-skool mindset to hear/play with something before you buy it, you can always haul your true-analog butt to a local dealer that won't deliver your new FireStudio Mobile via drone.

Good phone call: No search without a warrant
Ruling on Wednesday that police need a warrant before they can search someone's cellphone, the court cited Otis' 1761 speech in Boston against what were then called "writs of assistance," known today as warrantless searches. Under such writs, the British government would send troops or sheriffs or other representatives of the king to search colonists' homes in an effort to find and arrest people who were disloyal to the crown.

Tex 1 & Khaliba "All Time High" (Unsigned)
The New Single from Tex 1 & Khaliba (Caliber) "All Time High" ft. Candi Carlisle serves as great example that Hip Hop can promote positivity and still successfully captivate an audience.
"All Time High" not only advocates the importance of educating children but also appeals to the self esteem of the youth while stressing the importance of prioritizing and avoiding the many pitfalls that one can encounter when battling the trials of inner city life.
From Newark, NJ; The song writing / music production duo Tex 1 & Khaliba (Caliber) has produced many successful hits locally as well as different regions throughout the nation.
Today they find enjoyment in "writing for a purpose" when ever they can.
"All Time High" is now available on itunes through Wreckteam Entertainment Group LLC.
FRIEND THEM ON FACEBOOK: Tex 1 & Khaliba (Caliber)

Julia Mancuso may be rounding into form before Olympics
Jan 22, 2014, 9:17 AM EST
Three-time Olympic medalist Julia Mancuso, whose best finish this season is 12th, clocked the fastest training run ahead of four straight days of speed races in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, on Wednesday.
Super-G races Thursday and Sunday and downhills Friday and Saturday will be key in determining Mancuso's medal chances in Sochi. With Lindsey Vonn out, she is the face of the U.S. women's speed team.
"Definitely my confidence is getting better and better," Mancuso said, according to The Associated Press. "Even though we've had canceled races I've been spending a lot of times on my boots [free] skiing. That's the most important thing for me — to feel really comfortable and confident on my equipment. … I've put in the hours I needed."
The hope from Mancuso's struggles this season is that she is seen as a big-event skier, to be able to turn it on at the Olympics or World Championships.
She had never won a World Cup race before taking the 2006 Olympic giant slalom title. In 2010, she was coming off her worst World Cup season in four years and won two silver medals at the Vancouver Olympics.
It was about this time four years ago that Mancuso began to flip the switch. She was a season's best eighth in a downhill in Cortina on Jan. 23, 2010, and then third in the super-G portion of a super combined one week later.
"I'm sure if I'm skiing well then the results will come," Mancuso said, according to the AP. "And it doesn't even matter what place I end up in the races going into it. Even today having a really good training run that's a really good confidence (booster) for me."
