Advances in IT combined with business model transformation could combine to form a critical step in achieving transformation of the CTE through lower cost, faster, and better data quality of clinical trials according to a background paper prepared by Judith Kramer, Associate Professor of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center, and Executive Director, Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative (CTTI), Duke Translational Medicine Institute; and Kevin Schulman, Professor of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center, and Gregory and Jeremy Mario Professor of Business Administration, Fuqua School of Business. (See "Transforming the Economics of Clinical Trials" in Appendix F.) The entities involved in the conduct of clinical trials have not followed the cost-reduction trajectory of other technology-intensive industries and thus have not attained a business transformation sufficient to reap the economic benefits of technologic change. Instead, rapidly rising costs of U.S. clinical trials contribute to cost increases in developing innovative health products. For example, the estimated cost of developing one new drug has been suggested to range from $500 million to $2 billion (Adams and Brantner, 2006). The resulting high cost of conducting clinical trials constricts the pipeline for new drug development, limits the accretion of knowledge about drugs that are produced, deters a focus on innovation and improvements in trial design and conduct, and impedes the investigation of important public health inquiries.
Increasing costs stem in part from obstacles that exist within regulatory pathways or stem from administrative inefficiencies, including increasingly complex clinical trial protocols, abundant requirements issued by various levels of government and different governments and not harmonized to ensure consistency, and excessively risk-averse interpretations of regulations by trial sponsors. An example of the last is 100 percent source documentation of all clinical trial data even though regulators—both FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMA)—do not require it. Some new structures, such as CROs, have arisen to help trial sponsors operate in the complex research environment. CROs are focused on efficiently conducting clinical trials according to current standards and client expectations and do not have as their mandate a goal of advancing innovation in clinical trial design and performance. According to some observers, CROs may improve efficiency for trial sponsors, but their business practices may also contribute to the current cost structure of clinical research.
According to the authors, new information technologies conceivably could alter the conduct of clinical trials. For instance, electronic data capture (EDC)—using a computerized system to gather clinical data in a clinical trial—has the potential to reduce total costs, prevent errors, and conserve the time expended by physicians, nurses, and data coordinators by replacing multiple paper entries on patients' clinical progress with

- For the chapter of the same original name, see Chapter 357.
Franky is the shipwright for the Straw Hat Pirates. A 36-year-old[5] cyborg from Water 7, he was introduced in the story as the leader of the Franky Family, a group of ship dismantlers.[1] He was originally named "Cutty Flam" until he threw away his original name for his nickname per the request of Iceburg to hide his identity.[9] Franky and his followers were originally introduced as antagonists of the Water 7 Arc against the Straw Hats until circumstances forced them to become allies. At the request of the Franky Family, Franky decided to join the Straw Hats to fulfill his dream of creating and riding a ship capable of circumnavigating the world, the Thousand Sunny. He is the eighth member of the Straw Hat crew and the seventh to join Luffy's crew.[10] He is also the second member to have been a former antagonist (the first being Nico Robin). He currently has a bounty of 44,000,000.[2] He is originally from South Blue [11], but left 32 years ago as a four-year-old child.
Before the TimeskipEdit
As a direct result of the modifications that he conducted upon himself as well as the years spent as a ship dismantler, bounty hunter, and street thug in Water 7, Franky is a powerfully built man with a height of at least seven feet, making him the second-tallest member of the Straw Hat crew. His forearms are relatively enormous while his biceps are comparably small. He has brightly-colored blue hair and blue star tattoos on his forearms. His choice of clothing usually comprises of a speedo, which causes people to call him a pervert, and an open loud Hawaiian "Aloha" shirt with a large golden chain necklace around his neck.
During his first appearance in the Water 7 Arc, Franky wore a masked costume as a disguise.[12] After discarding this disguise, for the rest of the arc all the way up to the end of the Post-Enies Lobby Arc, he wore a red Hawaiian shirt, with lime green palm trees decorating it.
During the Thriller Bark Arc, Franky wore a yellow shirt with purple trident-like symbols on the sides and a large one on back.
Near the end of the previous arc all the way up to the Sabaody Archipelago Arc, Franky switched to wearing a purple version of his Hawaiian shirt.
During the Straw Hats separation, Franky wore a red coat to protect himself from the cold while on Barujimoa, but after blowing up Vegapunk's laboratory, the skin on his face was burned off, revealing his metal endoskeleton underneath, which he covered up with a tiger skin rug.
He also has a pair of sunglasses, which he usually wears when things start to get serious.
After the TimeskipEdit
Franky's hair is now controllable, and can change different styles instantly by pushing his nose for more than three seconds.
He also has two stitch-mark scars on his torso running down from the back of his neck indicating that he had sewn his skin back on.
He appears to have made modifications to his eyes as well, as his left eye was seen with inverse coloration and with a glowing pupil after his battle with Senor Pink.[13]
His shoulders, torso, and arms are also much bigger than before, and with studded hands that look almost robotic in appearance, but he also revealed that inside of his huge arms he still has a set of normal-sized robotic hands. He now appears to be wearing metal rigged suspenders. He has replaced his elbows with large, light blue hinges, his shoulders with a large red ball and socket joint with "BF-37" written on them, and his forearms with large, light blue cubes, with his trademark star tattoo being split by an edge. These new features house upgrades he gave himself during the timeskip.
He now wears a red coconut tree-motived Hawaiian shirt and red speedo. While on Punk Hazard, he was given a large double-breasted black coat by Kin'emon for the cold.

Wide receiver Roscoe Parrish signed with the Bucs, who waived Jordan Shipley. Parrish played seven seasons with the Bills and signed with the Chargers over the offseason, but was later released. He has a 12.0-yard career punt return average and is known as a potential big-play threat out of the slot, although his career has been hampered by injuries. Shipley was signed by Tampa Bay after being released by Cincinnati, and has struggled to regain his form following a season-ending knee injury in 2011. It's further tweaking of the receiving corps for the Bucs, who added Shipley, Tiquan Underwood and Chris Owusu last week, replacing Sammie Stroughter (injured reserve) and Preston Parker (released).

Create Your Own 'Goonies' Pirate Treasure Hunt at Cannon Beach!
In the summer of 2000 my boys were five and three. They had been watching "Goonies" over and over (as kids sometimes do). When they played it was always about pirate treasure. So I created the dream vacation for them at Cannon Beach, Oregon, and it is one of my fondest memories. As you plan family gatherings, keep this in mind.

This was so good. The sweet potatos were really good and the topping was great. I haven't had a sweet potato casserole this good. My in-laws are pretty picky and they really liked it also.
Sweet Potato Casserole
From EatingWell: Fall 2004, The EatingWell Diabetes Cookbook (2005)
This scrumptious sweet potato casserole gets fabulous flavor from honey and freshly grated orange zest rather than the traditional stick of butter. To complete the healthy makeover we sprinkle a crunchy pecan streusel spiked with orange juice concentrate over the top. You can save the marshmallows for s'mores.
30 Reviews for Sweet Potato Casserole
I really liked the orange flavor in this. One thing I wasn't crazy about was the eggs...I thought it added too much of an "eggy" taste. I think they are in the recipe as a binder, so next time I make this I'm using applesauce instead of the eggs. Also I think I will replace the flour in the topping with oats for a heartier topping. But overall very good and I will make it again!
I made this last year and it was an immediate "classic". Easy and not loaded down with disgusting amounts of marshmallows, maple syrup and other sickeningly sweet things people do to perfectly innocent yams. If you like light and flavorful with a great pecan crunch on top, this is for you.
I made this for 20 family members last Thanksgiving and everyone LOVED it...so easy, low fat and tastes delicious! I just spent 35 minutes searching online to re-find this recipe, that's how much I loved it!
Nice consistancy, but I might try to do it differently next time. I wasn't crazy about the orange flavor, so maybe I would add some fresh grated ginger in lieu of the zest and skip the juice concentrate altogether. I may add some cinnamon and cardamom as well to the mix and topping. Also I am thinking if the potatos were oven baked and than pureed in a processor instead to boiled, they would retain more of their natural syrupy goodness and you wouldn't really need to add honey.

Sunrise Country Market & Protea Farm: Coffee Snack and Bathroom Stop
This was the place where we had a bathroom and snack stop - we got here right about noon. They advertise hot coffee, breakfast, sandwiches, gifts and the Protea Flower Gardens. I understand that some of the cycle tour people also stop here.
I didn't go in and buy anything, but I did take some pictures of flowers in the vicinity.

Kula Lodge and Restaurant: We sped by
As we sped down the road toward the ship, the bus driver mentioned this place, but I was only able to get this blurry photo of it, and of course we didn't stop so I can't review the place
Their website says:
Perched high above the green hills of Kula on the Valley Island of Maui, the Kula Lodge and Restaurant is a comfortable place to relax on the way back from Haleakala, Hana or Maui's Ulupalakua Winery. Arriving from the other direction, the Kula Lodge is a gateway to rich scenery of Upcountry Maui, as wonderful place to meet or treat your friends and the only full-service bar in Kula.
The restaurant seats up to one hundred and fifty guests, with a very special outdoor area. Cradled in the trees at more than three-thousand feet, the Kula Lodge Garden Terrace features a wood-burning pizza oven and an open view of the entire west side of Maui.

Kula Lodge Pizza
If you stop by Kula Lodge between 11.00 am and 12.00 pm or between 4.00 and 5.00 pm the restaurant is closed but they will serve you pizza on the outdoor patio. You don't get the same views of the island from the patio but you'll get a view of the garden that boasts many beautiful flowers (you can stroll through the garden). I had the "Pizza Carbonara" with bacon which turned out to be very good. I don't remember the name of Cris' pizza, but mine was better anyway :)

Kula Lodge Restaurant
This restaurant is not located inside the Haleakala National Park but is located on Highway 378 on the way to Haleakala. Kula Lodge is a quaint restaurant with some gorgeous views of Maui. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner and it's a good place to stop on the way up or on the way down from the volcano. We came here for dinner after our Haleakala experience. For dinner the prices were a bit high, but the food was good. For appetizers (we worked quite an appetite on the slopes of Haleakala) we had the Thai spring rolls and seared ahi. The seared ahi turned out to be very delicious. For main course we had veal and a Mahi Mahi with a sort of Thai sauce; they were both very good. There was also pasta, rack of lamb, filet mignon, and chicken breast. They are apparently very famous for their breakfast but we didn't get there in time to try it.

Just five years ago, a student information system was used to take attendance and add or change grades. The tech director chose one, installed it and, in about two minutes, showed teachers how to use it. Now, it's a portal teachers use to send assignments and communicate with students.
The Consortium for School Networking, in partnership with Market Data Retrieval, released the final results of its first E-rate and broadband survey on the challenges K12 schools face as the demand for digital learning grows.

The Affton School District's director of technology and innovation, Dr. Robert Dillon, has been named a fellow of the Martin Institute for Teaching Excellence. The relationship with the institute will help connect Affton students to innovation, ideas, resources, and opportunities.
Kansas City Public Schools will remain unaccredited for at least another year, putting the district a step closer to being forced to comply with a controversial student transfer law many fear could be financially devastating.
School districts across Kentucky have maxed-out local property taxes in an effort to make up for cuts in state and federal funding in recent years. The result is an inequality among the state's 173 districts.
Teachers, administrators, parents, and students alike are being told that technology is the whetstone with which we can all sharpen our education system. Technology can open doors, expand minds, and change the world, but it's not the panacea it's been made out to be. As much innovation as the iPad may bring to the classroom, it's not going to replace a teacher anytime soon.
Napa High School's student newspaper, The Beat of the Drum, has gone digital in an effort to keep up with the times and attract more readers. Students update the website daily and also maintain Facebook and Twitter feeds for the California school's monthly publication.
Manalapan-Englishtown Regional School District Superintendent John Marciante's goal is to have every sixth- through eighth-grade student learning in a digital instructional environment by September 2017, and give fifth graders access to shared Chromebooks.
Students in the Ballico-Cressey K8 School District in northeastern Merced County are using Chromebooks, Galaxy tablets, and netbooks for learning. The Pearson educational software company is providing the online curriculum and training.
School boards are sometimes attracted to shiny things—like iPads. The district claims it wants to close the technology gap, but Corvallis, Ore., isn't particularly resource-lacking. Most students have the basic resources available for homework and research, and students who don't have access can utilize not only school computers but also library technology.
New research by Anne Fernald, a psychologist at Stanford University, showed that, at 18 months, children from wealthier homes could identify pictures of simple words they knew—"dog" or "ball"—much faster than children from low-income families. By age 2, the study found, affluent children had learned 30 percent more words in the intervening months than had children from low-income homes.
One side to the technology debate revolves around storage of the copious amounts of data collected by schools, districts, and state education departments. So much data is floating around that districts across the U.S. have turned to private companies to store information in the cloud. These companies protect files with high-level encryption, but still, privacy rights advocates are challenging districts that rely on third parties to store data outside of schools.

I'm a gentleman in every sense of the word, find out for yourself. I'm looking for a partner who is my equal in mind, heart and spirit/soul
Diamond in the rough, and a great catch... I was raised right and taught how to treat a lady right. You might even want to bring me home to meet the family. A wonderful sense of humor, style and taste. And my communication, and conversational skills are legendary ( I am working on being a better listener). I've been told I have a nice telephone and also singing voice w/ pretty good range. I am also good with children...as I am a father of two boys (8, 12). I am very patient, and do well in a crisis. I'm healthy and in good shape (although I'd like to be in better shape), and would like to find a partner that would want to work out with and eat healthier with too. I enjoy cooking. Also, I recently quit smoking. And I am quite creative, compassionate and loving. Honesty and integrity are critical to creating and sustaining a healthy relationship, and I promise to answer all questions honestly. So, I'm in the process of reinventing myself and starting a new. I'm on a new adventure of recreation and rebirth...a new chapter. And on here looking for ms. right/for right now and maybe more. This is not an easy task; sick of just living life...I want to be the maestro, the composer of my life. "I am the music maker, I'm the dreamer of the dream." Since I've not been in relationship for quite a while... I really miss that, connecting with someone on those levels. Having a companion, someone to share in life with, someone to talk with... to laugh with. I'm not a selfish or self absorbed person and I truly enjoy the ones around me and I do my best to make the people around me as comfortable and happy as possible.

I have Dogs
I like Cats
I'm sorry to say that I am highly allergic to cats(I love Zyrtec).I prefer hairless cats; my kids have 3 Sphinx cats and they are the most loving creatures, also the strangest pets I have ever had..and I have had many pets in my life over the years.
New York City... Where I grew up. Portland, Oregon... I lived there for a bunch of years. Also, besides with my children; that is where my heart is, it's my favorite town in America...and I've been to many.
I enjoy spending time with my boys, helping others, visiting museums, going to the movies, volunteering, sweat lodges, sporting events, and video games.
I enjoy exercising and going running.I like to cook and create things.I enjoy going to museums and movies in theaters..and I also lke to sit at home and find new and cool music and other things on the net.Also just quiet evenings at home with a book.
At the moment, I am reading The Power of Now, by Eckhart Tolle. And my next book will be Stephen King's 11/22/63. You need to switch it up sometimes. Deep stuff and then just something for fun.

The Dancing Years
Title: The Dancing Years
Author: Cynthia Harrod-Eagles
KDL Description:
The Morlands, now reunited with spouses, children, and friends who served in World War I and grieving the ones who didn't return, attempt to return to normal life and put the horrors of the past few years behind them. For some, that means endless dancing, hence the title.
Amazon Description:
The 33rd installment in the saga of the Morland family begins in the year 1919
As the euphoria of the Armistice fades, the nation count the cost—millions dead or disabled, unemployment, strikes, and shortages—and attempt to build a new life. Teddy tries to recreate balance but then a trip to France to see the place where Ned fell has unforeseen consequences. Polly, grieving for Erich Kuppel, persuades her father to send her to New York, and despite Prohibition, the great city pulses with life and promises her a fresh start. Jessie and Bertie, detained in London by Bertie's job, long to start their new life together. Jack becomes a pioneer of civil aviation, but when the company fails he's faced with unemployment, with a growing family to support. As they all seek relief from their own memories, the Morland's witness a new world struggling to be born out of the ashes; and as long as the music lasts, they will keep on dancing.

It's looking really good and coming along nicely so far. The only thing that stands out to me is that the larger queen alien seems to be closest to the viewer but then you see the smaller alien in front of her which, to me at least, creates a bit of a depth problem. I think f you pushed the overlap of the two more it might help give a better sense of depth.
Hopefully that makes sense!

Hi RealDraggor, Hopefully this helps to get my point across a little better...
I was just talking about the relationship between the two colored areas.
Try to push the overlap between the larger alien and the smaller aliens a little more. Maybe you could bring the larger head forward into the picture more, maybe even having some drool from the larger alien dripping down between the two smaller ones.
Also, the hand in the lower left corner, who does it belong to? That's a little unclear.

It also brings crafters into the mix and forces players to work together, as in protecting crafters and organizing a push/hold.

It's late a night, so this post may not make complete sense by the time I review it in the morning. Anyway, here we go:
Typically in RvR style games, keeps are very simple; they're an outer wall protecting a larger inner structure. Something like this:
Instead, perhaps we should start thinking in terms of something completely different than what's presented in current games on the market, including Dark Age of Camelot. Keeps should incorporate miniature towns that feature unique crafting bonuses, rare recipes and materials sold by npcs, and special NPC merchants.
Something like this:
Camelot Unchained will not feature the large amount of villages, towns, and unique attractions we find in games that host a healthy supply of PvE content. How do we invoke the masses to actually defend structures instead of just swapping hands? Allow guilds to claim Keeps and literally build a town inside the walls. Obviously, it wouldn't be on scale to the picture above, but it would promote realm pride and provide unlimited possibilities:
Although this post probably needs refinement (as I wrote it when I was extremely tired/sleepy), it still gets the point across. Thoughts/suggestions?

Start with no reward on capture, no reward on defense.. Only kills. Oh and perma ban "due lers" or be creative flag them to lose RP when killed. Give bonuses for holding keeps that apply to the whole realm and make losing relics really suck. Any RP for capture and you will have keep trading

Because instead of defending a "no name random keep your realm controls" you are defending your home, your guilds home, people you know who live there, etc.
The entire concept of a keep shoudl be this imo.
A guild plops down a keep, then walls, and within these walls people craft their houses, a bank for gold storage, crafters have their stations/resource banks there, stables, and many other things which the guild and individual players can invest in and upgrade/make better.
Over time the guild can invest more in improving it's defense, from starting out iwth cheaper wooden walls, to stone, etc. Having defenses like towers, upgrading them tot he point you can have "kill holes" in them for archers/mages to fire from, then having things like boiling oil traps, etc.
So the longer/more time an dmoney a guild invest in their home the bigger and better it gets, and the harder it is to take over. HOWEVEr at the same time, the better the reward from it. As other guilds should be able not only to attack it, but capture it and reap the rewards from it, taking over the structures, being able to repair them (if not destroyed/razed) and other elements.
The more plyaers invest in the keeps/towns within them, the more they will want to fight to defend them and care about them, and all the more worthwhile the RVR will be to fight for them. Then when you do lose them, the impact of that will mean more then any other kind of loss or reward you get.
Imagine a smaller guild sieging a bigger keep through smart tactics and strategy and taking it over, that'd mean a lot more to them then if it's just a random keep controlled by npc's that give some slight bonus to your character.

Guys, I think that you are rly lookin on this "problem" with keep taking and trading, rewards for capturing, defending..etc., from wrong perspective.
You dont need any rewards for it!!!
Sure you will get some fixed XP reward for taking small tower, keep or large stronghold, etc., but like MJ stated many times, it will be splited in RVR XPs for fighters, Craft XPs for crafters building siege weaponry, and so.....so it will not be classical keep grinding like it was in WAR, rly no way!
And sure, that there will be special rewards for attackers and defenders, BUT -
NOT LIKE CLASSIC RVR BONUS! Special rewards should be very simple - keeps should have upgrades, crafted by players (whitch will reward builders with Build XPs) - workbenches, building wiht bonuses, armories, player houses, etc. - all this keep upgrades will be motivation for defenders to defend it and for attackers to claim it, its rly simple.
Just stop with artificial bonuses and rewards, make it rly simple and with sence of realism in it!
EDIT: Ohh, guys before me, just pointed same idea :D

There is alot being said, and most of it has merit in a form or another. The big thing I think that is usually missed when discussing PvP on any level is psychology. This has been an area that some games have done better than others. Take the worst example of a PvP centered game, WoW. It would probably amaze many of you to realize just how many people would actively defend Thrall back in vanilla when he was attacked. There was absolutely nothing to gain from it. You earned literally nothing for killing him, and nothing for defending him. But it happened on LARGE scales all the time. This is because the players became invested in the lore of that character, and he would issue a call to arms when attacked. Anyone in the area would hear that cry to battle, and feel inclined to help, if for no other reason than pride.
The more you turn PvP into a reward scheme, the less actual invesment your players have toward it. They seek only the spoils and leave it when they've been earned. Doing nothing more than having the NPC's of your keep begin to shout meaningful dialogue or shame the players for their failure can do a lot to encourage PvP in ways that go beyond simple gear and levels. But if you're looking to find what ways to, through systems, get players involved...
Loss is the key. There must be something great, something DEEP, lost. Not just quests, or arbitrary buffs. The entire flow of your play must be dramatically altered. Roads that would take you to dungeons and resources must be cut off by enemy forces. Think of how losing even a single tower affects the mode of play in a game like League of Legends. You can't even approach the battle the same way, its loss has affected all of your choices, and the choices of your team. Taking the WoW example earlier, if the defeat of thrall drastically changed your experience, more would seek to protect it or reclaim it when lost. Imagine how heated the battles would have been if, upon defeat, Alliance NPCs appeared in the heart of Orgrimmar and held Thrall chained to his throne. Every player suddenly found 25% of his gold earned taken away and shop costs doubled. People would have rallied HARD. Even if they already lost, players would begin moving together to take back the heart of their empire. So long as this loss did not prevent them from gaining all the skills and gear the could have otherwise, it wouldn't break the flow of play in technical terms such that you'd never wanna play the underdog side. Quite the opposite, you'd see players moving to underdog sides just to prove a point.
Its something to think on. You can be harsh in penalizing loss without undermining the losers strength. You can make small changes that affect the losers psychology, or audio clues that create a sense of urgency and need. The best motivation to stand up for your side is the shame of failure, more than the things you lose. Emphasize what ways you can really bring that shame home, without creating a crippling of the player, and it will do wonders.

I agree with the concept.
I think it's better to be rewarded for HAVING a structure than to be rewarded for taking it.
If every structure you had made you do 2% more damage (or whatever, some sort of boon for having it), it'd be important not to just to try to get structures, but to keep the ones you have too.

I'm hoping CU will be what WoW should have been. Players in the roles of the armies you controlled in Warcraft. Players build the keeps, towns, and paths between, a lot like a persistant RTS game. I like a lot of the ideas on here. I pray that the ideas expressed by Plastic-Metal, Stiler, and Gish can all be incorporated.
Make the safe area tiny with only the basic things player society needs to work. Let the players build the good stuff in the towns they create. Buildings that give bonuses to crafting, and the items crafted in them, with the ablity of being upgraded as long as the player's realm controls the town. Make it so that everything can be destroyed, but only the keep needs to be captured by the enemy to change possession of the whole town. The town can be added to only by the realm in control. The guild that controls the keep gets a tax from the players who own buildings in the town. The tax is variable based on realm, so that the guild can reward players of its own realm with lower taxes, while making life harder on players of the other realms who built here when their realm controlled the keep. But that is the price they pay for the attacking realm to not destroy the buildings outright.
Why would players from a far away realm build in an area that is likely to be controlled by another realm most of the time and possibly be destroyed? Because it is the ONLY area with a particular material needed for high end items! And if your realm is ever to get access to those materials, you will have to take this place at some point.

How Realm, Class and Server pride will be fueled by asymmetrical class design.
Here we have ingame footage of combat between TDD and Viking Knights leading into Viking versus Briton Knights. Note how the asymmetry has created so much pride for the Briton.

I actually said the worst example of a PvP centered game...though, in looking back, I can see how the phrasing was misunderstood. The point was the WoW is nearly the antithesis of a PvP game, it had literally no PvP features at launch other than a few PvP servers and the ability to attack the opposing factions NPCs. However, in an environment devoid of "PvP features" it probably had more active and enjoyable PvP moments than most of the games being touted as PvP games today. Now that wasn't because the game had great PvP, lol. All of the great PvP memories players had from that time were forged on their own, because the game both allowed it, but also retained the "safety" so that players that were new to the experience, or nervous about joining it, weren't forced to or held back for it.
The point is, the best PvP moments I've ever had in a game had literally NOTHING to do with PvP mechanics or systems beyond the ability to stab someone and novel moments that enabled it to occur. I had more fun hunting a Paladin through the jungle because he killed my friends than I did playing the "PvP games" in most of the releases today. The best part of that story was that one of my friends had actually given me gold to help with a few quests (I didn't ask, but certainly didn't turn it down since vanilla mounts ate a wallet). In the process of helping him I killed about 6 people, for the lulz, as it were. I had just as much fun trying to escape the lot of them once they all teamed up to take me down.
The joy of that had nothing to do with a reward system. I did not earn gear or levels for it, if anything doing it kept me from doing the things that WOULD have rewarded me. We place too much concern on rewarding people for PvP. Its only meaningful when the PvP is the reward. It only happens when there is loss, though the loss needs to be something you can deal with. For WoW, the loss was constantly having to do ghost runs and getting shorted on your questing time. Not a big deal, but an annoyance that spawned plenty of fun times. Without ANY loss, and only rewards, PvP is just another loot machine and is ignored once the right toy pops out.

guild housing can only be put up in keeps. along with rewards for keeps like relics in daoc. your guild houses and merchants to sell items can only go up in keeps; your guild housing lot. there could be a limited number of housing lots. eventually you'll even need to put them up in other realm keeps. it would be nice to have guild xp and rewards but limit guild numbers. if you leave a guild you take your guild xp with you to your new guild. anyways i thought it would be cool if you could use your guild xp to build and level up your keep captain/commander and also if you could choose 1-5 players in your guild depending on level of guild to act as npc to defend your keep while offline. you could set up a predefined-AI for your npc and commander. keeps should not be easy to take on low server population times everyone has to sleep but if i where in my keep id hear the bombs flying.

To kind of piggyback on this.
Maybe Keeps would reflect the guilds that claim them. Guild houses would be in the safe area, but when they take a keep, in any realm, the services/lots/merchants inside start at a level based on the guild. So, if a small guild claims a keep, the keep would start out smaller/weaker than if a powerful guild took it, and take longer to build up, harder for crafters to get the walls up, etc. A bigger guild might start out with more resources or a bigger variety of possibilities for development.
Now, by owning a keep, the merchants and whatever capabilities the guild house contains, can be moved to the keep. They would actually have to travel to get there, and maybe bigger stronger guilds would have bigger, stronger, faster travelling merchant caravans. A guild could decide to move whatever resources or merchant types it wanted, sending them as one group or smaller groups at a time of their choosing. Maybe moving a siege merchant to their frontier keep grants a 50% bonus to siege building, or they could move a crafting merchant to a keep near a certain resource, which would then allow their crafters new bonuses only available at that location.
The caravan would start at an entrance to the safe housing zone, with a few different choices available. If they're escorted by a group, they could follow the live players. If they are put on "Auto Travel" they'd follow the dirt paths or built-up roads to the keeps, maybe with a few different routes to each keep for variety. Obviously, they'd move faster on developed roads, which would give realms a reason to develop them. While they're travelling to the keep, guild resources would be vulnerable.
So if they want to risk it for bonuses, they can move stuff to PvP areas. However, while there, if the keep is taken, the merchants are lost for a period of time,maybe a couple days, maybe a week. The guild would lose the privilege of having them until they respawn in the safe housing area.
Maybe you could even do a meta-rating for the guild, and have the computer determine what kind of bonus a claimed keep might generate. If you have a big guild with a lot of different members and classes and RP's earned from various methods, you'd get a well-rounded keep with spaces for developing a lot of different things. A small guild who earned the majority of it's RPs from it's one healer, might spawn more healer guards than armsman or assassins. If a guild has several notable Shield Crafters in it, maybe anyone who crafts shields in that keep skills up a little better or the walls and/or doors have extra reinforcements .
The keep could reflect the guild in a number of ways, first by the relative beginning size, then by what merchants/amenities might be moved there, and maybe special random NPC's would spawn there based on the meta-rating of the guild and other variables in the game at the time.
This is the kind of thing that would have to be tested vigorously, for sure, as you can definitely see areas of exploit, realm in-fighting, and the possibility of the rich getting richer, but this type of stuff would add a lot of variety and strategy, and maybe realm conversation for planning and plotting.

I was never a huge fan of the relic system, or any system that provides a realm wide xp/atk/defense/magic bonus for taking a keep. Doesn't make any sense and only rewards the stronger side, allowing for potential imbalances.
I'd much prefer that keeps have other value that makes them worth taking and defending. Something that negates any incentive to flip keeps over and over. There should be ZERO incentive for realms to ever work with each other or arrange keep swapping, to be consistent with Mark's principle #10 - or realm pride.
So, here are my thoughts on what keeps could offer:
1. Control of a certain region of the map.
2. Within the region of the map you control, you have exclusive access to the resources and city plots in that realm.
3. Only the realm that controls the area can generate resources from the buildings built on the city plots and resource "nodes" (e.g. farms, forest groves, mines, etc) in that area. This would include certain "rare" resource nodes, one or two of which might exist in the whole world, making each "region" have a strategic value to the war effort. Which resources does your realm prioritize? Aim for those keeps and hold onto them.
4. When you lose a keep, the buildings you have built on the city plots are either degraded or destroyed. Not sure what the best mechanism would be to minimize the incentive to keep swap while also giving you incentive to build up those buildings. I probably prefer the "destroyed" idea simply because it will drain resources and make it more valuable to hang onto keeps you've taken. It also will make it more likely that the cities in your most protected regions will be the most built up (which makes sense) and that the cities on the front-line are less likely to be built up and making logistics more realistic in the sense that you probably won't be able to build the best items on the warfront and make them immediately available to the troops.
5. Alternatively, you could have certain buildings that only degrade and others that are destroyed (e.g., a portal that a realm can build in a city [not in a keep] that allows players to spend a certain amount of resources or gold to teleport from one portal to another]). The portal would definitely be destroyed because it is a magic construct requiring the keep's energy to remain active. You could use a similar line of logic for other unique/special buildings as opposed to buildings like a crafter's hall.
6. You also get exclusive access to certain dungeons within your area of control, which can be hunted for resources and rare components for crafters to use in building advanced armor and weapons. You also can find rare components for scribes who are the ones who craft the scrolls for casters to memorize new spells. So certain rare spells will require access to components that are in dungeons that require you to control some of the most contested keeps. You want to hang onto those dungeons not only for your own benefit, but also to keep the other side from getting access to those components.

Give rewards for owning keeps, not for taking them.
Have an alert system in place so that keep owners (owning realm perhaps, or owning guild) are informed when a keep is under attack or if there is enemy activity near by.

Typically in RvR style games, keeps are very simple; they're an outer wall protecting a larger inner structure. Something like this:
Instead, perhaps we should start thinking in terms of something completely different than what's presented in current games on the market, including Dark Age of Camelot. Keeps should incorporate miniature towns that feature unique crafting bonuses, rare recipes and materials sold by npcs, and special NPC merchants.
Something like this:
Camelot Unchained will not feature the large amount of villages, towns, and unique attractions we find in games that host a healthy supply of PvE content. How do we invoke the masses to actually defend structures instead of just swapping hands? Allow guilds to claim Keeps and literally build a town inside the walls. Obviously, it wouldn't be on scale to the picture above, but it would promote realm pride and provide unlimited possibilities:[list]

We need something different to talk about so...
As has been discussed a number of times on the board, the Reds have a surplus of middling "last guy on the staff" LH pitchers that some team with a lefty need might be interested in just for the different look that a lefty provides. The Reds also have some guys that can be kept in AAA so a trade shouldn't lead to a shortage. The list again goes like this:
Bill Bray (probably a keeper), Mike Stanton (doubtful he'd be moved), Rheal Cormier (a candidate I hope), Brian Shackleford (a team that appreciates a loogy might be interested), Jon Coutlangus (I hope they keep him), Phil Dumatrait (out of options, can be a long relief guy or 5th starter), Tyler Pelland (still has an option, I think, I'd keep him in the minors and see what happens), Bobby Livingston (not sure of his option status but he's only 24), Eric Milton (hard to move I'm sure but with the number of starter candidates it should be considered now IMO), Michael Gosling (NRI that could be kept in AAA to allow others to be moved and he's only 26), Jason Kershner (30 year-old, I don't see the point) and Eddie Guardado (rehabbing for later, color me skeptical) and possibly Kent Mercker (if he signs and can comeback).
Looking around I see some teams in need:
Arizona : Has Dana Eveland (if hes not in the rotation) and borderline guys like Doug Slaten, Evan MacLane, Bill Murphy and Greg Smith. This is a team that might be willing to give-up something for a guy like Cormier or even Shackleford. Id guess that the Reds would have to throw something in from the system but Id love to get Tony Pena or Brandon Medders. If not, AZ has a deep system and a prospect that may not be quite in the top 10 would still probably be an interesting guy and a top 10 guy for the Reds. An IF like Emilio Bonaficio (2B lead-off type with speed) or Alberto Gonzalez (defensive SS) would be a good return for the likes of a Cormier.
Milwaukee: The Brewers have only Brian Shouse as a sure lefty for the pen. Zach Jackson and Manny Parra are the only other candidates in camp and both are starter candidates who may be better off in minor league rotations. Greg Aquino is an intriguing former closer candidate that might be a guy to take a shot with. Angel Salome is a 20 year old minor league catcher that Baseball America ranks number 11 in the Brewers system and says has a 70 arm. He went .292/.349/.447 in 418 Sally league ABs. The knock on him involves his catching mechanics.
Philadelphia: The Phillies have Eude Brito, Fabio Castro, and Matt Smith on the roster with Brito going to miss part of the year from an auto accident. NRI are young Starter JA Happ, and career fringe guys or minor leaguers Jim Crowell and Brian Mazzone. Not sure they would want Cormier back, but they need some one, Id love to get Happ who could be a 4th starter type in a couple years (I mentioned him in the early fall). Otherwise Greg Golson is a former 1st round OF who has disappointed. He has CF defensive ability with speed and power that havent shown-up in his stats.
San Diego: The Padres have no established lefties on the 40 man roster with Royce Ring the most likely to stick and Sean Thompson, Ryan Ketchner and Justin Hampson as other candidates. Frank Brooks, Erick Burke and Shawn Estes are the NRI. Estes is coming off Tommy John and wont be ready for a while at best. This is a team that looks like a good candidate for a bigger deal. Besides a shortage of LH pitchers, they have a real need for some one to play LF and lead-off. Id love for the Reds to package Freel with a lefty or two (say Cormier and Shack) for Scott Linebrink. The Reds could make Linebrink closer with Coffey, Stanton and Bray setting him up. That would take a wretched bullpen and make it a minor strength. In a smaller straight deal, the Padres have a couple catching prospects. Nick Hundley is 23, has career minor league lines of .266/.363/.435 and is described as having good hands and a strong, accurate arm by Baseball America. For a lesser pitcher, Colt Morton is a 25 year old Catcher. He projects more as a back-up but is a 6-5 RH hitter with some power. His career minor league line is .241/.340/.459 in 1179 at bats and looks like hes ready for AA this year.
In the AL the lefty/righty thing is less important (fewer PH moves and countermoves with the DH) but there are a few teams that have a need.
LA Angels: Have Joe Saunders (likely in the rotation with Colon injury issues), Phil Seibel and Darren Oliver. They could use a lefty. With Mike Napoli around and Hank Conger coming, they might be willing to move Jeff Mathis. Mathis is still a highly thought of catcher with a minor league line of .280/.344/.452. He bombed in the majors last year but he was considered the best defensive catcher in the Pacific Coast League. If that is aiming too high, Jose Arredondo, 23, is a RH pitcher with a power arm, who touches 97 MPH, who has fallen out of favor a little and Hainley Statia, 21, is a good defensive SS who is blocked by a SS glut in LA. Statia is probably best suited for High A right now and has gone .292/.363/.385 in 860 Abs. Bobby Wilson, 24, is another catcher ready for AAA in 2007. BA says Wilsons footwork and hands are adequate. He blocks the plate well, and has an average arm. Hes gone .282/.334/.422 in 1472 minor league Abs.
Toronto: With BJ Ryan closing and Gustavo Chacin probably starting, the middle of the game is left to Scott Downs (surprisingly good in 2006), Davis Romero and Brain Tallet. With Jo Matumoto as a NRI. This team may be looking for a lefty. A guy to keep an eye on is Kyle Yates. Yates is a 24 year old RHP who split time starting and relieving in 2006. His fastball is not much at maybe 87 to 90 MPH and BA says he has a tight curve ball that can buckle knees of lefties and righties alike. BA also says that he trusts his change-up and the action he generates makes it a key weapon against lefties. Yates is rated Torontos number 15 prospect by BA, but led the AFL in Ks and finished 2006 in AA.
Tampa Bay: This is a special case. They have no established LH for the pen but do have JP Howell, Jeff Ridgeway, Chris Seddon and Jon Switzer. Perhaps a lefty can be the ticket to complete the Brendon Harris trade and/or allow the Reds to completely acquire Josh Hamiltons rights.
This is a list of possible matches for some of the Reds glut of lefties at first glance. Of course injuries could bring another team to the forefront, and the Reds guys wont bring a lot, but maybe they can get something useful as they pare down the roster.

Mint State 1800 Capped Bust Right Eagle1800 $10 MS60 NGC. BD-1, High R.3. Bass-Dannreuther Die State c/e. The reported mintage of Capped Bust Right eagles in 1800 was a meager 5,999 pieces, and there is a single die variety known for the date. However, this issue is somewhat more available today than the small mintage figure would suggest, with a surviving population of 200-300 examples in all grades. The reverse die was used in 1799 to strike the BD-10 variety of that year, then employed to strike the early die states of the 1800 issue, then used to produce the scarce BD-1 variety of 1801, and finally remarried with this obverse die to strike more 1800-dated eagles. The late die state of this coin indicates it was struck after the 1801 BD-1 eagles, and the coins from the later 1800-dated emission were probably included in the mintage totals for 1801.

BD-1, Only Dies for the Date
Rarely Seen Finer
The 1800 eagle was always a popular date with collectors, possibly because of its low mintage figure and its turn-of-the-century date. Examples appeared at auction in sales of the 1860s, including the coin offered in lot 1620 of the Fifth Semi-Annual Sale (W. Elliot Woodward, 10/1864):
"1800 Nearly as fine as the last; fine impression and beautiful surface; very scarce."
The lot, which sounds like a coin very similar to the present specimen, realized $23 to J.O. Emery, a good price at the time. Examples appear several times per year in the modern era, bringing higher and higher prices. The record price realized for an 1800 eagle belongs to the magnificent MS65 NGC coin in lot 3250 of the FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2008), which brought $310,500.
This coin displays sharply detailed design elements and retains much of its original mint luster. The pleasing greenish-gold surfaces show a scattering of minor contact marks on both sides, explaining the grade. An interesting network of die breaks is evident through the branch, tailfeathers, and arrow shafts, and another crack travels through UNI, Identifying the late die state. Eye appeal is outstanding for an early eagle. Census: 5 in 60, 42 finer (1/13).
(Registry values: P2) (NGC ID# 2626, PCGS# 8563)
