I took swimming lessons a really long time ago. I clearly remember early summer mornings at my lessons. It wasn't hot yet, so the pool water was freezing. The instructors made me and the rest of the budding swimmers wriggle out of our shorts and t-shirts, down to our bathing suits. They blew the whistle and we jumped. Ice cold water made us squeal. One of the first things a swimmer learns to do is tread water (after you become a pro at blowing bubbles without water shooting up your nose). So, to warm up our tiny bodies, we would tread water. It seemed like we would float there forever, waving our arms and kicking our legs. Your feet can't touch the floor, the instructors would call out to us. I found that focusing on an unwavering object helped me stay afloat. But little legs get tired quickly. The second my feet were allowed to stand my body up, straight and secure on the floor of the pool, I felt better. Stable.
Dustin and I sat in our car in the parking lot of the grocery store earlier this week and talked. Sometimes our Camry is where we do our best communicating. Treading water. We agreed that's what life feels like right now. Always swimming. Never going anywhere. We aren't allowed to stop. If we take a break, give our tired legs some rest, we will fall behind. Then again, we were never ahead. We're just trying to get by. Working, wishing, waiting for the day when we can stop and breathe. Two more months, we tell ourselves. Finances will look better then. We'll find a place to live by then. We'll have a better grasp on what life in Pennsylvania looks like by then. Except, we've been saying "two more months" for many months, now.
There's a reason that treading water can be a good workout. It's exhausting after a long time. You use your core, your leg muscles, your arm muscles and your back muscles to keep your head above the water. I don't think we're the only people working hard just to keep our head above the water. We aren't the only ones who are tired, spent and running on fumes. I'm starting to realize that my exhaustion is making me lose focus.
Lately, I've been focused on finding a job for myself. I have been focused on finding the perfect home for our family. I've been focused on Titus and his health. I have been comparing my situation to others. I've been comparing Titus to other babies. I've been comparing my husband's career to other careers.
I lost focus on what's important. I'm Peter. Instead of walking on water, I'm treading water and sinking quickly (Matthew 14:22-33). I took my eyes off of Christ at some point and I fixed them on other things. Peter saw the wind and became afraid. I saw my circumstances and started to worry.
I wish I could say I'm all better now. I wish the was an easy, no-mess fix to simply trust God more. Unfortunately, it's day by day. Every moment is a battle. I'm called to walk on water, not sink. I'm called to trust, not worry. I'm called to faith, not fear. You have the same calling. Just look up.
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

Things seem to be OK as-is so I can't see any reason to fix what ain't broken Compared to a lot of other forums this one is PDG overall. My only gripe is in getting answers from TOH people when that is needed, and that is beyond the control of volunteer Mods. Maybe we could ban TOH for not replying and have the whole place all to ourselves- I could sure use some more storage space around here

This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 12/974,915, filed Dec. 21, 2010, titled "MULTISTAGE PIPELINE FOR FEEDING JOINED TABLES TO A SEARCH SYSTEM", which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 61/288,776, filed Dec. 21, 2009, titled "MULTISTAGE PIPELINE FOR FEEDING JOINED TABLES TO A SEARCH SYSTEM", both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
Computers and computing systems have affected nearly every aspect of modern living. Computers are generally involved in work, recreation, healthcare, transportation, entertainment, household management, etc.
Information in relational databases is stored across multiple tables with various "one to many" or "many to many" relationships between tables represented by indexed local and foreign keys. A single specific query involving multiple tables or joining all tables together to feed into a separate search system is often so computation intensive as to significantly slow down the database query dramatically. Exporting such databases to a search system for most efficient and relevant search operations often involves full database joins that my require a huge system overhead or even go off into an exponentially increasingly complicated calculation and never come back.
However, advanced enterprise search systems work optimally when information on a given hit has been collected from appropriate related database tables into a single document.
In typical relational databases the normal form for data records avoids embedding hierarchies of multiple child items which associate with a parent item because of the storage redundancy and the difficulties in updating multiple records when a child item is altered. Instead the hierarchy is discovered via a "join" operation which discovers the linkage based on a parent reference within each child record. When records are linked in a many-to-many relationship, the database contains an "association" table of linkage records defining each linked pair of records. Normal form and the association tables facilitate efficient updates to the database.
However, when data items need to be found quickly via an indexed search, there is no quick method of discovering which of the various hit candidates from one table are linked to other hit candidates from another table. A join operation has to be run across candidate collections, which is slow because each of the candidate records has to be read to discover the linkage. It is only the linked records whose constituents meet the search criteria that are the answers to the query. The join problem is this: it takes a long time to read all the candidate data records to discover the linkage. Only a subset of the candidates will make it into the answer set, and excess record reads occur to discover them.
The subject matter claimed herein is not limited to embodiments that solve any disadvantages or that operate only in environments such as those described above. Rather, this background is only provided to illustrate one exemplary technology area where some embodiments described herein may be practiced.
One embodiment illustrated herein is directed to a method that may be practiced in a computing environment. The method includes acts for flattening a relational database into one or more hierarchical record documents. The method includes accessing a first database table. A first entry value is identified in a first entry from the first database table. The first entry value represents a plurality of entry values of corresponding entries in a second database table. The method further includes creating an array. The array includes one or more representations of the plurality of entry values. The method further includes converting at least a portion of the first database table to one or more hierarchical record documents, with columns of the first database table represented at a first hierarchical level and values in entries in the columns represented at a second hierarchical level below the first hierarchical level for a corresponding column. The first database table includes a plurality of entries having the first entry value. Converting the first database table to one or more hierarchical record documents includes substituting the array in a hierarchical record document for each entry in the plurality of entries having the first entry value.
This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
Additional features and advantages will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by the practice of the teachings herein. Features and advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the instruments and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims. Features of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following description and appended claims, or may be learned by the practice of the invention as set forth hereinafter.
In order to describe the manner in which the above-recited and other advantages and features can be obtained, a more particular description of the subject matter briefly described above will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments which are illustrated in the appended drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only typical embodiments and are not therefore to be considered to be limiting in scope, embodiments will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings in which:
Embodiments may include efficient approaches to create a composite record that a search system can quickly search and rank. Some embodiments may create a page like structure from relational database entries that allows the page like structure to be indexed and searched using traditional search engine tools. The addition of this approach to an enterprise search system facilitates the mixture of database and full text searching on documents, databases, or mixtures of each and allows database records to be transformed into appropriate search records that the system can efficiently process.
Reference is now made to the figures, which include a number of tables in a sample database application. The sample database is implemented for searching for games of the Utah Jazz NBA team and can be used to show various aspects of various embodiments.
Referring now to
The starting lineup relationship to the games involves a many to many relationship which often causes difficulties for join operations. Each game shown in the table 100 has a lineup number that links to five players. Each of the players link to one or more starting lineup numbers. A player/lineup cross reference table 200, Illustrated in
This query might be further complicated by various ranked search techniques. For example:
(1) The search for "Lakers" might get an exact hit but "Lakes" would fail on the exact hit and get a positive result on a stemmed hit.
(2) The search for "Lakers in January" might fail but the nearby month of "February" would succeed.
(3) The search for "Darrin Williams" would fail but the alternate name spelling "Daren" would succeed.
(4) The search for "Paul Milzap" might fail but a phonetic version of "Milzap" would succeed.
(5) The search for both players together might not give enough hits so the search set is expanded by searching for each player individually.
Making a Composite Record
One way to prepare for these searches is to form a composite record. Full featured search systems can perform especially well if all of the data for a hit can be limited to retrieving individual records instead of having to dynamically span across related database tables. If the game number=53 record were an xml record as follows, it could easily satisfy the above query. It would use either multiple searches to satisfy the listed less relevant non-exact searches or the hits being processed by relevance algorithms to show their ranked order from a single large search where the hits bubble to their appropriate place in a specified ranked ordering.
<game ID="00678">
Note that everything may not reasonably be answerable in a composite record that can be answered with careful processing of the relational database with all of its linked tables and the structural links between tables. A query might be able to find a starting lineup that results in a winning record for those games where this lineup started of 75% or higher. To put all of the starting lineup's information in each record that has that lineup would make the composite table more complex and illustrates the reason where a hierarchal xml-type record might be much more difficult to keep up to date and complete compared with a relational database model.
Long lists of many to many linkages between tables is especially difficult to join together efficiently to create these composite records to load into a search system. The first implementation of some embodiments uses indexed links to allow for rapid join operations of this composite record.
An example is now illustrated. A table is selected that will be the table to which all other information will be attached in the composite record. In this case, embodiments may be searching for the actual scheduled and played NBA games as the key table, as illustrated by the JazzGames table 100 illustrated in
First, the keys with the many to many relationships are preprocessed to create directly accessed records ready for insertion into the hierarchical composite record. In this case, the JazzPlayerLineupXref table 200 is indexed and sorted by the lineupID field so the five starting player numbers can be quickly accessed. Accessing the five starting players' numbers allows the five starting players' names to be added to the composite record.
Embodiments may loop through the JazzPlayerLineupXref table 200, creating xml for each unique lineupID. For starting-lineup 254, players 1410365, 11744, 11806, 11822 and 11850 are accessed in the JazzRoster table 300 illustrated in
The JazzGames table 100 can be iterated through to create the composite records. The first record is accessed and the xml snipped retrieved or generated. The pregenerated xml record for starting-lineup #254 is retrieved. And the two records are combined into a composite record. For example:
The record could be a more complex composite. More merged sections could be derived in a similar fashion to this starting lineup. In each instance, instead of creating expanded rows of tables, embodiments simply have the result of the one to many linkage for each row ready for merging into the final xml hierarchal representation.
This becomes particularly useful as the many to many variables rise to extreme levels. For example, if a database with 10,000,000 records is linked to 10,000 other records in 100,000 different combinations through one or more other tables, depending on the record, embodiments may prepare the list of the key record variable ready to merge with each of the 10,000,000 records. Other approaches to the problem can involve exploding the 10,000,000 rows to perhaps even billions of rows to computationally join the tables together.
Returning once again to the example at hand, the composite record is now ready to be fed into a search system, be indexed and ready for retrievals, both exact retrievals and ranked relevance based retrievals.
The search system may create indexing patterns from the content of the composite record. If, in addition to xml snippets, embodiments preprocessed them into pattern lists, then instead of creating a perhaps very large and unwieldy composite record database, embodiments could apply the indexing process directly to each part of the composite record and send the pattern list to the indexer. This would send patterns like "denver, nuggets, wed, 2008, 2008-10, 2008-10-29, . . . " from the game record and add in patterns like "ronnie, brewer, c j, miles, paul, millsap, mehmet, okur, deron, williams, . . . " from the pregenerated starting-lineup addition for lineup #254. The patterns can also be pregenerated and ready for each game that needs that lineup. The index reference in the searching index may be the record id or row number of the game table. This approach would enable direct indexing from the database itself which would facilitate keeping the database and search index in synch and avoiding the possible huge overhead of separate composite records. The search index still will be as extensive as needed to deal with the data fields, full text fields and the various approaches to fuzzy searches and relevance ranking. Full text indexing systems are typically designed to handle a greater volume of search text and fields than would be typical in a database index.
The following now illustrates three more generalized versions of the preceding.
When database records logically form a hierarchical structure via the join linkage tables, a "primary" table can be defined whose records can be modeled as root nodes of sub-trees that are defined by the linkage. Starting at the root node, the sub-tree can be traversed and the data from the child nodes can be gathered into a "flattened" equivalent composite record. Composite records would then become the targets for searching. Composite records are thus equivalent to "documents" in an already established, document search system. Thus, existing document indexing and searching tools can be used.
Raw Data Composites
Raw data composites can be created by a series of data base joins. For each record, the data of interest is extracted then put into a row. Then for each link to a record, those data elements are concatenated to the row. If each joined record further joins another record of interest, then the elements from those records are further concatenated to the row. In this manner, the hierarchy tree underneath the originating record is flattened into a single row. The contents of the row can then be indexed. The composite row would be the "document" that would be referenced from the index.
Such an approach could be cumbersome, especially if multiple sub joins were redundantly regenerated. Acceleration schemes (similar to the use of the snippet 500 illustrated above) could store partial rows of sub-joins to be re-used when reencountered. Acceleration structures can either be custom coded for each particular problem, or appropriate intermediate tables can be generated from the database via SQL.
Hash Values Composites
Hash value composites are comprised of the hash values of the extracted data elements instead of the data elements themselves. In some embodiments, prior to any joining operation, each row from a table that has data attributes is converted to a list of hash values constructed from the tag:value strings, where tag is the name of the column and value is the data in the cell. Cells designated as free text would have the appropriate collection of hash values generated to support the free text queries.
After all attribute data for each table are converted to sets of hash values, the join sequence is executed. As embodiments traverse the sub-tree representing the hierarchical structure associated with the record embodiments concatenate hash values instead of raw data elements. The resulting composite list of hash values would be sorted to become the record that is passed into an indexing system. This may be especially useful for indexing systems that index hashes as opposed to, or in addition to, full text indexing. Such a system is illustrated in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/281,252 titled Hyperspace Index, filed on Mar. 2, 2007, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The following discussion now refers to a number of methods and method acts that may be performed. Although the method acts may be discussed in a certain order or illustrated in a flow chart as occurring in a particular order, no particular ordering is required unless specifically stated, or required because an act is dependent on another act being completed prior to the act being performed.
Further, the methods may be practiced by a computer system including one or more processors and computer readable media such as computer memory. In particular, the computer memory may store computer executable instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause various functions to be performed, such as the acts recited in the embodiments.
One embodiment may be practiced in a computing environment and includes a method 600 with acts for flattening a relational database into one or more hierarchical record documents. The method 600 includes accessing a first database table (act 602). For example, the JazzGames table may be accessed.
The method 600 further includes identifying a first entry value in a first entry from the first database table (act 604). The first entry value represents a plurality of entry values of corresponding entries in a second database table. For example, the entry value "254" may be identified in the starting lineup column of the JazzGames table. The entry value "254" represents the set of playerIDs 10365, 11744, 11806, 11822, and 11850 or the player names Ronnie Brewer, C. J. Miles, Paul Millsap, Mehmet Okur, and Deron Williams from the JazzRoster table. This link is made using the JassPlayerLineupXref table.
The method 600 further includes creating an array, wherein the array includes one or more representations of the plurality of entry values (act 606). For example, the array may be one of the snippets illustrated below the JazzStartingLineups table in Appendix A.
The method 600 further includes converting at least a portion the first database table to one or more hierarchical record documents, with one or more columns of the first database table represented at a first hierarchical level and values in entries in the columns represented at a second hierarchical level below the first hierarchical level for a corresponding column (act 608). The first database table includes a plurality of entries having the first entry value. Converting the first database table to a hierarchical record document includes substituting the array in the one or more hierarchical record documents for each entry in the plurality of entries having the first entry value.
For example hierarchical record documents may be created for each game in the JazzGames table. Note that the games with gameID 627, 635, 636, 638, 644, 653, 654, 663, 670, and 678 all have the starting lineup 254. Thus when creating each of those hierarchical record documents, 254 is simply substituted for the array illustrated by the snippet illustrated in Appendix A under Table 4. Thus, the data does not need to be recreated each time when flattening out the database table JazzGames.
The method may be practiced where the array is pointed to by a pointer. Substituting the array in a hierarchical record document for each entry in the plurality of entries having the first entry value may include following the pointer to obtain the array.
The method may be practiced where the one or more representations of the plurality of entry values are index entities used to index the plurality of entry values such that the hierarchical record document comprises an internal index of the second database table for the plurality of entry values. The pointers to pointer2, pointer3, pointer4, and pointer5 illustrated below table 4 illustrate an example of this. In particular, rather than substituting actual data, one or more index entries can be substituted. For example the index entities may include phrase index representations representing the plurality of entry values as phrases. For example, the array may include "Ronnie Brewer", "C. J. Miles", "Paul Millsap", "Mehmet Okur", and "Deron Williams" as phrases rather than Ronnie Brewer, C. J. Miles, Paul Millsap, Mehmet Okur, and Deron Williams, as illustrated by pointer3.
Alternatively or additionally, the index entities may include phonetic index representations where the plurality of entry values are represented by phonetic representations of the plurality of entry values. For example, phonetic representations of Ronnie Brewer, C. J. Miles, Paul Millsap, Mehmet Okur, and Deron Williams may be included in the array.
Alternatively or additionally, the index entities may include word proximity index representations for the plurality of entry values. For example, Ronnie near Brewer, C. J. near Miles, Paul near Millsap, Mehmet near Okur, and Deron near Williams may be included in the array, as illustrated by pointer 3. Proximity may be in either order. For example Ronnie near Brewer is functionally the same as Brewer near Ronnie.
Alternatively or additionally, the index entities may include hash index representations, where the plurality of entry values are represented by corresponding hash values of the plurality of entry values. For example, a hash value may be created for each of Ronnie Brewer, C. J. Miles, Paul Millsap, Mehmet Okur, and Deron Williams as illustrated by pointer5. Examples of such indexing techniques are illustrated in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/281,252 titled Hyperspace Index, filed on Mar. 2, 2007, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The hash values may then be included in the array.
Other indexing techniques, though not specifically enumerated may be used when creating the array.
Embodiments of the present invention may comprise or utilize a special purpose or general-purpose computer including computer hardware, as discussed in greater detail below. Embodiments within the scope of the present invention also include physical and other computer-readable media for carrying or storing computer-executable instructions and/or data structures. Such computer-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer system. Computer-readable media that store computer-executable instructions are physical storage media. Computer-readable media that carry computer-executable instructions are transmission media. Thus, by way of example, and not limitation, embodiments of the invention can comprise at least two distinctly different kinds of computer-readable media: physical computer readable storage media and transmission computer readable media.
Physical computer readable storage media includes RAM, ROM, EEPROM, CD-ROM or other optical disk storage (such as CDs, DVDs, etc), magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store desired program code means in the form of computer-executable instructions or data structures and which can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer.
A "network" is defined as one or more data links that enable the transport of electronic data between computer systems and/or modules and/or other electronic devices. When information is transferred or provided over a network or another communications connection (either hardwired, wireless, or a combination of hardwired or wireless) to a computer, the computer properly views the connection as a transmission medium. Transmissions media can include a network and/or data links which can be used to carry or desired program code means in the form of computer-executable instructions or data structures and which can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer. Combinations of the above are also included within the scope of computer-readable media.
Further, upon reaching various computer system components, program code means in the form of computer-executable instructions or data structures can be transferred automatically from transmission computer readable media to physical computer readable storage media (or vice versa). For example, computer-executable instructions or data structures received over a network or data link can be buffered in RAM within a network interface module (e.g., a "NIC"), and then eventually transferred to computer system RAM and/or to less volatile computer readable physical storage media at a computer system. Thus, computer readable physical storage media can be included in computer system components that also (or even primarily) utilize transmission media.
Computer-executable instructions comprise, for example, instructions and data which cause a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, or special purpose processing device to perform a certain function or group of functions. The computer executable instructions may be, for example, binaries, intermediate format instructions such as assembly language, or even source code. Although the subject matter has been described in language specific to structural features and/or methodological acts, it is to be understood that the subject matter defined in the appended claims is not necessarily limited to the described features or acts described above. Rather, the described features and acts are disclosed as example forms of implementing the claims.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention may be practiced in network computing environments with many types of computer system configurations, including, personal computers, desktop computers, laptop computers, message processors, hand-held devices, multi-processor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, mobile telephones, PDAs, pagers, routers, switches, and the like. The invention may also be practiced in distributed system environments where local and remote computer systems, which are linked (either by hardwired data links, wireless data links, or by a combination of hardwired and wireless data links) through a network, both perform tasks. In a distributed system environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. All changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.

We're all familiar with recommendation systems, due to Amazon's early efforts as well as current entertainment and e-commerce sites. You visit a particular product page and find related products that might also be of interest to you.
Apparently these recommendations don't really work as well as search results, in exposing the long tail. According to a recent Wharton School study, current recommendation systems drive less diverse product selection overall. That's just the opposite effect which so many online retailers are striving for in the first place!
It turns out that simple popularity, an oldie but a goodie, is the biggest driver of recommendations. Says the study, "As long as a product has modest sales, recommendations have the potential to make it a near hit. However, the lower selling products stand little chance at being made famous by the recommender."
The irony is that recommendation systems may actually expose individuals to more products, with roughly one-third learning about new offerings. However, the perception of diversity may actually be due to search engines themselves, as "consumers have difficulty separating their effects from recommendations."
Of course, Search is all about the long tail. It's true that popularity feeds into relevancy as well, based on keywords. While favored URLs may appear first, there are pages and pages of search results available without limitation. There's no consolidation taking place, as with recommendations.
Still, with the newer collaborative technologies on deck, it's possible that both Search and Recommendations can further shake out their popularity biases. This way, both can continue to improve their delivery of long tail results.

I have method that parses a list of
String records into objects and returns
List of objects. So my method signature is like this.
public List<ParsedObject> parse(String[] records);
But I also want to return, other metrics like number of string records that were not parsed successfully. Now I get confused, how to return this metric. One option would be to create another wrapper class that holds both list of parsed records and members to store these metrics.
But I face this situation very often and this way I would end up in creating many wrapper classes.
Not sure if I explained well. Any suggestions here?

I am facing a major problem while using this plugin. At first I thought it was something wrong with my database due to a lot of changes in order to test it extensively but I am facing this problem on a clean database too.
I set a new capability > I create a group and attach to this group the capability. I create a new page that I need to allow access to it only to a specific group. In the Access Restrictions tab I am trying to set it properly but the only option I have available is "groups_read_post" and not the capability I inserted before.
Is it normal? Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?
Thanks in advance.

Nightwing DLC Is Arkham Knight's Best Add-on So Far, But That's Not Saying Much
The new DLC featuring one of my favorite Bat-characters is the best iteration of a bad formula.
The new DLC featuring one of my favorite Bat-characters is the best iteration of a bad formula.
You've heard the argument that male superheroes are sexualized simply because they are often bare-chested. But a man taking off his shirt doesn't make him a sex object. It's actually rare to find examples of male superheroes who truly are sexualized the way women are in comics. Here are ten examples.
Writer Kyle Higgins has a pretty good job of that, by focusing on the passion and emotional attachment that Grayson brings to…
Feast your eyes on the grown-up laughing young daredevil as he throws down on the thugs of Arkham City. The clip highlights his specialized weaponry and shows off his acrobatic fighting style, too. You'll be able to start playing as Dick Grayson in new Wayne Manor and Main Hall challenge maps next week.
By our count, there are 14 alternate costumes or characters you may play as in Batman: Arkham City, through a variety of promotions, pre-order bonuses, and timed-exclusive downloadable content available now. The "good" news, I suppose, is that all of this stuff will be available at some point—for a price.
WBIE's confirmed the existence of The Dark Knight's acrobatic partner in Rocksteady's upcoming sequel today . Like Robin and Catwoman, Nightwing will come with moves and gadgets unique to him, as well as "Wayne Manor" and "Main Hall" challenge maps. The press release announcing Dick Grayson's playability notes that…
Dick Grayson fans, it's looking like your prayers will be answered. According to sister site Kotaku Australia (via ArkhamCity.co.uk), some of the trophies for the Bat-sequel point to the fact that the man who was once the Boy Wonder will be a playable character in the game.

Five Planets Around Nearby Star Tau Ceti; One in Habitable Zoneby Nancy Atkinson
The location of Tau Ceti in the night sky. Credit: University of Hertfordshire
Look up in the sky tonight towards the southeast in the constellation Cetus. There's a naked-eye star named Tau Ceti that lies about 12 light-years away from Earth, and astronomers have discovered a system of at least five planets orbiting Tau Ceti, including one in the star's habitable zone.
While the recent discovery of a Earth-sized planet around the triple star system Alpha Centauri is the closest planet that has been discovered at just 4.3 light years away, this new discovery is the closest single sun-like star that we know of to host of an entire system of planets. The five planets are estimated to have masses between two and six times the mass of the Earth, making it the lowest-mass planetary system yet detected. The planet in the habitable zone of the star has a mass around five times that of Earth, making it the smallest planet found to be orbiting in the habitable zone of any Sun-like star.
"This discovery is in keeping with our emerging view that virtually every star has planets, and that the galaxy must have many such potentially habitable Earth-sized planets," said astronomer Steve Vogt from UC Santa Cruz, coauthor of the paper describing the discovery. "We are now beginning to understand that nature seems to overwhelmingly prefer systems that have multiple planets with orbits of less than 100 days. This is quite unlike our own solar system, where there is nothing with an orbit inside that of Mercury. So our solar system is, in some sense, a bit of a freak and not the most typical kind of system that Nature cooks up."
An artist's impression of the Tau Ceti system. (Image by J. Pinfield for the RoPACS network at the University of Hertfordshire.)
Tau Ceti has long been a target of both detailed astronomical study and hopeful science fiction, since it is among one of the 20 closest stars to Earth. It is also easily visible to the naked eye and can be seen from both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. During the 1960's, Project Ozma, led by SETI's Frank Drake, probed Tau Ceti for signs of life by studying interstellar radio waves with the Green Bank radio telescope. Science fiction authors like Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov and Frank Herbert used Tau Ceti as destinations and focal points in their books.
Scientists know this star has a dusty debris disk at least 10 times more massive than our solar system's Kuiper Belt, and it has been observed long enough that no planets larger than Jupiter have been found.
An international team of astronomers from the United Kingdom, Chile, United States, and Australia, combined more than six-thousand observations from the UCLES spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope, the HIRES spectrograph on the Keck Telescope, and reanalysis of spectra taken with the HARPS spectrograph available through the European Southern Observatory public archive.
Using new techniques, the team found a method to detect signals half the size of previous observations, greatly improving the sensitivity of searches for small planets.
"We pioneered new data modeling techniques by adding artificial signals to the data and testing our recovery of the signals with a variety of different approaches," said lead author Mikko Tuomi of the University of Hertfordshire. "This significantly improved our noise modeling techniques and increased our ability to find low-mass planets."
Tau Ceti e is the planet in the habitable zone, and its year is about half as long as ours. An independent study of the data from the system done by Abel Méndez at the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo says that the fifth planet, Tau Ceti f, may also be in the habitable zone.
While over 800 planets have been discovered orbiting other worlds, planets in orbit around the nearest Sun-like stars are particularly valuable to study, the team said.
"Tau Ceti is one of our nearest cosmic neighbors and so bright that we may be able to study the atmospheres of these planets in the not-too-distant future. Planetary systems found around nearby stars close to our Sun indicate that these systems are common in our Milky Way galaxy," said James Jenkins of Universidad de Chile, a visiting fellow at the University of Hertfordshire.

On Monday, Philip Gregory at the University of British Columbia in Canada posted an as-yet unpublished paper to the arXiv repository, claiming to have seen three planets in the habitable zone of Gliese 667C, one of three stars in a triple-star system, 22 light-years away.
It has been claimed that the system as seen by Gregory would be unstable.
No one has "seen" any terrestrial class extrasolar planets yet.
All we have are the perturbations caused to star by the planets gravity which make the star to "wobble".
To actually see planets would need something like an upgraded TPF mission which was scrapped to fund the SLS / Orion.
This is really exciting! Although it seems we won't find out for a long time what life will be on the planet it'll be great to have information about it and learn more about these exo-planets.
"Tau Ceti is one of our nearest cosmic neighbors and so bright that we may be able to study the atmospheres of these planets in the not-too-distant future. "
Very soon, we will be able to know if there is life on this planet. The atmosphere will tell us if there is life.
Is there life on Mars? Titan? Maybe, maybe not. But, we can't tell just by looking at the atmosphere
If we detected significant free oxygen in the atmospheres of Mars or an extrasolar planet, it would be a powerful indication, though…
(Of course O2 and Titan's methane would be a highly unstable and unlikely state if affairs, though some believe that Titan's chemistry is 'out of equilibrium' in a way that is at least consistent with some sort of life)
We can tell by looking at our own atmosphere's light, reflected in the Moon, that it has life both because it has oxygen adsorption and because it has a chlorophyll absorption edge.
It is a successful proof of principle, as is oxygen observed on hot planets (too hot for liquid water). It can be done.
Earth's early atmosphere didn't have oxygen for some 1.8 billion years (fossils in Australia) and possibly 2.15 billion years (chemical signs of life in Greenland rocks) after life had evolved, so lack of oxygen in atmosphere isn't a sign of lack of life (in possible seas).
Yes, you have to look at the star's age. Eg it will work for Tau Ceti,
I hear there are telescopes that may be capable of doing these studies despite there being no priority in the decadal surveys outlining what astronomical resources should be concentrated on.
I hope so! Tau Ceti must be a prime target.
There are a few obvious markers. Lots of oxygen and nitrogen would be a huge find. Add in hints of industrial pollutants and we have an even bigger find.
Let me see, was that Ceti Alpha V, or Ceti Alpha VI?
Please note that of the 6000 data points taken the ESO HARPS(4864 data
points); UCLES on the Anglo-Australian Telescope(978 data points); and
HIRES on the Keck telescope(567 data
points). So roughly 80% of the Data for this announcement comes directly
from ESO. To quote lead author Mikko Tuomi, of the University of
Hertfordshire in England:
"This work would have not been
possible without the ESO public data policies and the excellent work of
the ESO Software development division and the ESO Science Archive
"We are now beginning to understand that nature seems to overwhelmingly prefer systems that have multiple planets with orbits of less than 100 days." – Isn't this a function of our planet finding techniques and not necessarily an actual characteristic of stars?
According to Wikipedia, this star is moving towards us at 16km/s. So, if we wait about 20,000 years, we should be able to see for ourselves what these planets look like.
To some extent it is a function of our planet finding techniques. However… If we were only finding one close-in planet per star, one could say "Well, large close-in planets are rare, but those are we are seeing. Our solar system is still normal!" But with multiple examples of stars having 4-6 planets crammed closer than Mercury is to the Sun, it can no longer be explained by the observer bias.
This system is little of both though.
Tau Ceti e has twice the 100 orbit time, and f has twice the year we have. The only difference is that it has more "mercury" planets.
. . . Exactly. Most systems we've looked at have multiple Mercury-type planets, where we only have one.
Or Jupiter sized Mercury planets?
" minimum masses of 2.0, 3.1, 3.6, 4.3, and
6.6 M_? respectively. The
last planet is the planet of interest"
Isn`t the 4.3 M_? , i.e. the 4th planet, the planet of main
interest? That would put it right in the middle of the "super earth"
If I understood right, the 6.6 M_? 5th planet can also be in the habitable
zone, but this is not sure because the planet is very near the outer (cool)
edge of the HZ
The HEC places both as potential habitable candidates, see my previous comment's link. And yes, the outer one is just slightly better than Mars, but passes their criteria, see their data and the orbit graph posted there.
Good guess on giants! It has low metallicity, ~ 50 % of Sun, so will penalize giants.
However, the problem with terrestrials is to keep them dry enough and not to drown them with asteroid water delivery. One order of magnitude more water will start to be hurtful, assuming the planets have tectonics. (And they are large, so they should have.) Not much, if any, land left.
The follow-up question then is: are we seeing more gas giants in torch orbits around high metallicity stars. I believe the awnser is yes, but I would need a much larger smpling size than what I can think of.
Perhaps, if these planets are habitable but are being repeatedly bombarded, complex life would find ways of adapting to the relatively frequent hits. Perhaps the reason why these events are so disastrous on Earth is because they're so rare. It's all speculation, but it's fun to guess.
Gliese 581 has at least 3, possibly 4, planets in it's habitable zone. It might be thát the innermost could be a "Super-Venus", but as we don't have any actual evidence of that, I wouldn't yet close any of those planets out from the ranks of possibly habitable planets.
Thanks. Different scientists will come to different conclusions. (Which the post shows.)
Maybe I should say ESI habitability. (As in: ESI > 0.7.)
We keep finding planets that are very close to their respective stars and astronomers have started thinking that we might be the oddball having such huge orbits. But I wonder… Could it be that the other star systems might have many other Saturn or Jupiter sized planets at 30 years orbits and we simply don't posses the necessary abilities to discover them at this moment? Cause a dip in brightness that wouldn't be seen in another 10 years might be considered as just a fluke, and the event would be discarded. If a dip in brightness would even occur at that large orbits.
A previous search for faint companions to Tau Ceti using the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 on the Hubble Space Telescope came up empty: http://iopscience.iop.org/1538-3881/119/2/906/pdf/990423.web.pdf
I wonder if this new finding might lead to a re-examination of Tau Ceti with HST using the more sensitive Wide Field Camera 3?
Scientists agree that Pion antimatter powered spacecraft may approach the speed of light.
The late Dr. Robert Carroll, a mathematical physicist who rejected relativity,
claimed a Pion powered spacecraft might approach 20 million times the speed of light.
See pages 34-37 at CHEAP GREEN on http://www.aesopinstitute.org
Pion fusion is under development in Australia and also by a Japanese –
British Joint Venture.
If successful, spacecraft will surely be powered by Pion drives.
A test craft that might prove Dr. Carroll correct, should it accelerate well beyond
the speed of light, would open human exploration of Goldilocks planets.
these are the things that i love to see posted up. thanks. I wanted to
let you know about some killer traffic video courses i have. just swing

Gov.-elect John Hickenlooper is reaching out to the Republican stronghold of Colorado Springs as he prepares to take office.
Hickenlooper traveled to El Paso County Thursday to speak to 300 civic leaders for the Downtown Partnership's annual mayor's breakfast.
The Gazette reported that he told the crowd that the only way to overcome the state's budget problems is to improve Colorado's business climate and that he hopes to have both Republican and Democratic support in his new job.
The Denver mayor wants business owners and civic leaders from each of Colorado's 64 counties to help create a state economic development blueprint, rather than have state leaders give their ideas to local governments.

In my application i have 2 LLVM modules - the runtime one (which contains
void foo(int * a) function definition) and executable one (which i'm creating using LLVM C++ API).
In my executable module i create
int main(int argc, char ** argv) and want to put
llvm::CallInst into it's body, which would call
foo() function from runtime module.
Here is my code:
Function * fooF = Function::Create(runtimeModule->getFunction("foo")->getFunctionType(),
GlobalValue::WeakAnyLinkage, "foo", execModule);
After that, i link two modules together:
Linker linker("blabla", execModule, false);
linker.LinkInFile("/path/to/runtime.bc", false);
execModule = linker.releaseModule();
This compiles OK, however when i run Verifier pass on linked module i get:
Global is external, but doesn't have external or dllimport or weak linkage!
void (%i32*)* @foo
invalid linkage type for function declaration
void (%i32*)* @foo
It's worth mentioning, that all globals in runtime module are internalized using Internalize pass. After linking, but before running Verifier, i'm running Dead Global Elimination pass amongst some other optimizations. And when i do
dump() on resulting module, i see, that
@foo which is coming from runtime module gets removed too, despite it's used by
main(). It seems, LLVM thinks that
@foo definition in runtime and
@foo declaration in executable are unrelated.
I've tried to play with linkage types - no luck.
So, what is the right way to create a call to the function from another module?

AbstractIn the magneto-inertial fusion approach based on laser-driven magnetic-ux compression, an imploding target traps and amplifies a pre-seeded magnetic ux. The extremely high magnetic field created by the implosion reduces thermal-conduction losses in the hot spot and enhances alpha energy deposition, leading to increasing hot-spot temperature at lower implosion velocities than required in conventional inertial confinement fusion approach. However, the maximum magnetic field intensity that can be achieved by the direct-driven laser compression is unclear, and the threshold magnetic field required to suppress the thermal transport and lower the ignition requirement is unknown. To help answer these uncertainties, this project will develop detailed numerical models of laser-driven magnetic-ux compression in two dimensions. The approach will build on an existing magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) numerical code to carry out simulations for laser-driven implosions of large convergence ratio. The simulations will be designed for relevance to the geometries of cylindrical and spherical targets. Commercial Applications and other Benefits as described by the awardee An MHD code with laser energy deposition capability would find applications in fusion science, astrophysics, and in research areas relevant to DOE, DOD, and the defense industry.
