When EA bought Mythic, it gave them experts to run their MMORPGs. While Mythic may have a potential hit on their hands with Warhammer Online, it is impossible to believe that everyone involved is just going to sit around and wait for it to launch. Thus, the question becomes, what else could EA Mythic be working on? With the Electronic Arts catalogue of IPs and the muscle they provide, we look at some of the likely candidates.
This is a speculative editorial about what makes the most sense to us and not necessarily what EA or EA Mythic have planned.
Enjoy the full article here.

I don't know if everyone would want to be Harry Potter. There isn't anything special about him. That is to say in a way that Jedi were/are special in SW. You want to be a clever wizard who's average in magical talent?

"... One crowded hour of glorious life,
That's not it though.
MMOs are (or at least should be) about creating an alternate world that you can exist in as your character, living out a role(play) if you so wish etc.
I can imagine there would be thousands upon thousands of kids - and adults - who would just love the idea of being able to get home from school or work and log in as a student at Hogwhatsits, having selected their special magical trait at creation etc.
It wouldn't be a case of everyone being Harry Potter, but having the opportunity to exist in Harry's world as just another little-bit-special kid with a penchant for the Magick Arts.
God, I can imagine such a game being a monster if done well..
I mean, I think of the series of books I just love. Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles.. Raymond E Feist's epic novels. I'd love the opportunity to be able to exist within worlds created around these IPs... As long as it was done very, very well. And therein lays the problem.
Do it well and they'll be Dev Gods. Screw it up bad and they'll never be forgiven (ie SWG...).
But yeah, good thought provoking article Dana.
My prayer is that some gaming company will eventually come out with an MMO that isn't just linear quests, but a fully interactive, deep, customisable, random-stat-crafting epic world of goodness... But I can dream I guess.

Current MMO dev teams = Keystone cops.A pure comedy of errors,sadly its not as intentional.
Potter's world would be an excellent IP for an MMO.
However i dont think theres an MMO company (or group that could be newly formed from the existing MMO devs) that would actually manage to get it right.
It could be made into an incredible rpg mmo,with classes as instanced encounters(some)(some not) and the players having to attend them as per the curricular.
Have the classes work as a normal class (emense amounts of lore and information), but have adventure events take place during them and clues given out to adventures in ones that dont have a specific adventure event happen.Some instanced, some not.
Make the player LIVE the school life and keep things happening to entertain /provide adventure to them while they do.
The key would be to make each class an adventure in some way.The more unexpected the type of adveture that occurs the better.
They could even give each player an arch nemesis,that follows and evolves (levels,or improves their skills) just like the players char.An improved version of what CoH did.Even make it so guilds could have their arch foes as well as players.So that a whole guild can follow the same core story line as a guild.
The possiblities are immense.The fan base even more so.
Though i must confess im not a dedicated potter fan.If done right, i'd give it a try.
All uses of the word "class" here, refer to the teaching event .NOT to any arificial role or skill set.

Privateer/Wing Commander Online
But with 3 problems:
Privateer/Wing Commander is a thing of the past like the Ultima series. The kids might have never heard of it.
Eve Online is the current king in the Space MMO sector and hard to beat.
Some guys are working on a Space MMO for NCSoft(those guys have worked on titles like Privateer and Wing Commander before)

Ultima X Odyssey had real promise before they shelved the game. It was shaping up to be a decent competitor for WOW. They could do worse than blowing the dust off an already started project.

I have to say that I would love to see Earth and Beyond: The Return. It is the only MMO my wife has ever played and she still says she wished it would return. I think Imperator would be cool as well. I don't know about any other suggestion. I would love to see them come out with something new. I would love to see something based in a universe like Heavy Gear RPG. I am still surprised there has not been an MMO based on mechanized armor. That seems like a game that has plenty of money sinks in. It is not like most where someone just tries and get a set of armor or 2 and a few weapons. One could really try and have muliple machines that would open up new ways to play. With a sort of gladiator system in place with mercenary missions, that would open many ways to play as well. One could start of trying to earn the money to buy their own ride or trying to join a mercenary company and get a machine from a battle field and salvage it.

Though I am sure some people don't like them, I am a big fan of the Wheel of Time books, And I think it would be a good setting for an Rpg. If done right it could be a massive world for an MMO. It has a deep story to it already and a pretty big fan base.

I have promised myself never to preorder a MMORPG, but if UO2 ever comes that far, I will preorder it.

ULTIMA ONLINE 2. Simple as that. The amount of Veterans returning plus the player base in UO 1 would make the game an easy success. I would like MMORPG.com to put up a poll, Who would try Ultima Online 2 if it was made and released. I think the numbers selecting Yes would be staggering.
And guess what, if they kept the overall graphics 2D but better, say like a Diablo 2 engine..... it still would rule. Remember, a game with an easier graphics engine would allow for more people to run the game and cause less lag. Everything does not have to be 3D with super graphics. Just a good idea with a solid concept.
I know EA is afraid that UO2 would bomb, but a shot never taken is a goal never scored. I think Wayne Gretzky's father said that :)
I've played no MMORPG since DEC 2006, I'm wating for my next Ultima Online, and I think many are too.

I think their next project will be WAR 40k. Imperator indicates that Mythic was thinking of doing a non-fantasy MMO. They already have the Warhammer license, a working relationship with Games Workshop, and a rich IP that while familiar is completely different from the fantasy WAR. Makes sense to me.
I would love to see this happen; ideally with FPS combat but I doubt they have the huevos to take that risk.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I think the abysmal failures of Asheron's Call 2 and EverQuest II are reason enough to not even consider Ultima Online II or DAoC 2. This is not to say I wouldn't love to see a 3D UO, as I very much would. But, I am one of the old gaming vets of SP RPGs of many years ago, namely the original Ultima Series and to this day still fondly remember my time in that world, particularly in the Ultima VII: The Black Gate title. But as stated in the article, kids today have no idea who The Avatar was and it would have to be mighty damned good to get them interested.
I see now in recent news, UO is finally getting a substantial facelift but unfortunately, they are sticking to a top-down isometric view of the game. This appears to me to be more of a way to milk the current users for more time than anything else. In the same way, the recent expansions to EQ, EQ2 (while they place thier hopes on Vanguard), and DAoC are in a similar vein, simply ways to keep the vets happy a while longer before they lose all of them too to newer games. There will be no significant influx of new blood into any of those titles now, every one of them is in serious decline, even though that decline can go on for years.
I don't know whether to worry about Mythic's work or be glad since the aquisition by EA. I hope it turns out to be reason to be glad. But given what I saw them allow with UO, I can't help but worry a little about that. Then again, if Mythic is truly being given a lot of control over thier MMO decision making, then I would think there is hope for good things down the road. If EA management will listen to and trust Mythic management, good things will come. If they don't, this aquisition will not produce any real fruit.
Harry Potter will not happen and should not happen. This is a recipe for failure from the word go. I could go on at great length about why but I won't. Adults who play MMORPGs do not want to play a MMORPG based on a children's book series I would be willing to bet real money. Dumbing down the genre to cater to young children who rely on parents to pay for such things would never work either - I think Disney has already tried similar ventures haven't they? I can't recall what they were but that in and of itself is telling, don't you think?
It's Warhammer for now basically and beyond that I have to say all bets are off and all speculation is wild speculation. I doubt they have really begun to think a lot about that themselves. They have enough irons in the fire right now, so I would hope they are not wasting time and effort on daydreams.
The correct way to at least attempt a 2.0 MMORPG is NOT to replace a title with a new game that uses the lore and world of an existing and previously successful title. The way to make this work if it can at all, is to make a REAL version 2.0 of the EXISTING game for its subscribers that is actually good enough on its own merits to draw new ones. We have already seen the outcome of abandoning the existing user base while trying to milk an IP for all its worth - it does not work.
Personally, I think they should completely replace the graphics engine in Ultima Online, go 3D and make it compete with modern games in visual quality, without changing the underlying game mechanics much and when they do this, I think they should also start anew with the classic servers route that eschews the likes of Todd McFarlane action figure mobs, Samurai warriors, etc. and return to Ultima's roots and former glory. Now, there is a project worth doing. I would play that game in a heartbeat. I want the real deal, real Ultima in a modern looking game and I bet I am not alone there.
Mythic has sort of done this for DAoC it seems to me with the cluster of classic servers where most of their players play today, but in what I consider to be something of a half-baked way vs rolling out and marketing the daylights out of a 2.0 that is really DAoC, but DAoC revamped in a big enough way to be called a version 2, vs an expansion. I guess that's my point too. Rather than more expansions for MMORPGs, at some point doing a real and major upgrade to an existing game and calling it 2.0 and marketing that project aggressively seems to me like something that at least ought to be tried vs allowing aging greats like UO and DAoC to slowly fade into oblivion.
He who hesitates is lost.

Hmmmm.... I'm 40 years old and I would highly enjoy playing in Harry's world :)
But the series I'd most like to see a game based on is The Heralds of Valdemar books by Mercedes Lackey !! other than that I'd like to see a good Vampire based mmorpg. I;ve been a DAOC player since release and unless something spectacular comes along will prolly subscribe to it till the day it dies and like one of the above posters I believe if EA listens to Mythic and lets them have control there are no limits to the games they can make .

I and a good-sized group of BethSoft junkies would chew off their left arm and hand it to the company who makes The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel Online a reality.
BethSoft said they weren't gonna do it. Then again, they are selling their crappy "official mods" instead of releasing them for free: like the current pool of talented modders are required to do by law. People change... I guess.
If BethSoft wants money, they can stop nickel-and-diming their customer base and start by licensing the Hero Engine. Get on it, people!
Oh yeah - this was about EA/Mythic. Hogwart's Academy Online would put a spiked choke chain around WoW's neck. Casual gamers around the world would rejoice in assembling their school gear from Diagon Alley, riding the Hogwart's Express, collecting cards from Chocolate Frogs, casting cantrips to turn their friend's hair orange, exploring the dungeons and suffering the tortures of detention with Mr. Filch. No one will miss the screaming.
"Mr. Filch," you ask? Why, yes! You couldn't have Hogwart's during Harry Potter's time or even during the time of Harry's parents. It would most certainly have to occur well before: before Dumbledore first became headmaster, for instance. We need some familiarity, but do not want to rewrite characters.
There should be a marked difference between a first year and a seventh year (and any adults of varying proficiency, naturally), but if the game incorporates D&D-like munchkinfest leveling, I'll be sorely put off. Should the "perfect build" for a witch or wizard arise, I'll swear off MMOGs until someone does something NEW! Until then, hope to see you at Ollivander's!
EDIT: After reading a post that was done while I was typing, I see an argument against a Potter world that has some fine counterpoints. I think the only thing I can say to the negative perspective of a Harry Potter online game that is only for kids is, "I agree!"
It should be a game for adults. That's where J.K. Rowling is moving towards and that's where the focus should be. Perhaps you might have missed it, but the ratings on the latest Potter films only dodge an "R" rating because they have no sex/nudity and don't excessively curse. Hogwart's Academy Online should be for adults and children alike. Just like every other MMOG with a "T for Teen" rating. Go from ten years old to 150 or more, if you can manage it. Everyone will do their time in Hogwart's Castle. After that:
Go off and be a dragon trainer. Keep the muggles confounded. Become a star Quidditch athlete. Open a shop for potions. Work for the Ministry of Magic. Become a ruthlessly powerful witch, not-so-secretly pledged to the Dark Arts. Become an adventurer of sorts, hunting down giants and trolls and werewolves.

I know for sure, James Cameron is already working on a MMO, with the Multiverse Engine, since they actually advertise it. I doubt EA Mythic would go that deep and work with such an early build of a Middleware. They have the people and money to create their own engine.
EA has hundreds of IPs so it could be anything, I'd bet on something new tho, a brand new IP would be something more in the style of Mythic and EA probably can't wait to have something new.

It is funny that a thousand people a day could surreptitiously take pictures of every detail of these buildings from every angle with their cell phones without drawing a glance and yet when some guy openly sets up a film camera on a tripod a half a block away in plain sight in the middle of the day to take the same picture that you can buy on a postcard in any dime store on Main Street and it's time to call out the home guard.

Seems to me that those who are concerned about security should be far more worried about guys wandering around appearing to talk on cell phones while trying to merge into the woodwork than they are about photographers with big cameras on tripods.
Had a similar experience in the railway station in Brighton, England last summer. I was leading a workshop on street photography that I have done for the past 7 years and always started it in Brighton railway station. I was approached by the Transport Police and told that photographs where not allowed because we may have been taking them for use by terrorists. When I pointed out that we were 17 strong and had at least £50,000 of highly visible camera equipment hung about our bodies and unlikely to be terrorists the sergeant was less that understanding.
Surely one of the things that makes all these rules completely stupid is that in most cases you can go down to a public library and get photographs of all public buildings from their archives? Also lets face it a terrorist is going to use a point and shoot digital if they want to target anything or even buy a postcard. Maybe the power crazed officials are still thinking with the cold war mentality, in which case may ye gods protect us :(
Thanks for the comments, and related tales - at least it helps to know we are a special bunch! Reply for the USPS is already in, boy that was quick - they just suggested that I contact the local Postmaster and see what THEIR policy is on photographing the building. Leads me to believe that 1. there is no law that prohibits taking photos of government buildings 2. the local postmaster is allowed to make the call..which again means it not law (unless they can get the local city/county/state to pass an something).
Appreciate the input, sure hate to see this..it just means that the terrorist have managed to not disrupt normal activities (like photography), but have managed to make some folks way to paranoid. Sigh!!
When my in-laws were growing up, it was illegal to photograph government buildings of any kind, trains, planes, and even parades. They grew up in Nazi occupied Holland.
So if I was to visit the US on holiday (vacation) and photographed the Whitehouse (or any other 'tourist-interesting' building) I would/could be arrested?
It puzzles me how little you can photograph in the US these days, I also seem to remember a thread, not long ago, about people not being permitted to photograph Monument Valley due to something to do with Native American rights, is this true?
Not sure about the Whitehouse, but probably..if you used at tripod. Doen not make sense to me you can handhold a camera, in plain site or hidden and photograph just about anything...pull out a tripod and boom...no one wants you to take a picture then.
About the Indian Lands..some do allow photography, others do not, always best to check with the locals...Monument Valley...pretty sure you can photograph, just can't get off the road (in other words you need a guide - check out Mark's artilce in the Artilces section, it's pretty good)
A lot of this has to do with CYA. Police, security gaurds and building officials probably do not know the specific rights of the public with regards to photography. Better to stop the photographer and not get into trouble and lose your job if they think it is illeagal to photograph the building. I don't think it is illeagal to photograph anything from a public right of way. On the specific site is a different matter.
Pre-9/11 I was with a friend on a county road just off the property of Offutt Air Force Base in Bellvue, NE. We were photographing the comings and going of aircraft during an airshow. A vehicle showed up with two base security officers. They asked to look at our cameras and in our vehicles. We complied and after deciding we were pretty harmless, told us to have fun and left. I assume the outcome would be different today so I have not been back.

What You Can Expect
Customer Reviews
April 2015
It was great The tour guide was very knowledgeable It was neat to cook chicken Mayan style and then eat it Only my wife comprehended Mayan math
September 2014
Wowzers! We had such an incredible time on our trip to Chichen Itza and learned so much about the Mayans from our tour guide Carlos! He was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he was sharing which brought so much of the history to life.
We would say though that the Viator description is slightly misleading. The cooking class involves cooking pre-prepared food, and the relaxation at the Mayaland resort involves eating and walking amongst the gardens on your way to different elements of the tour, but no use of the pool facilities. This wasn't a problem though as so much of your time is spent experiencing different elements of Mayan culture and of course going to the sight of Chichen Itza with our incredibly knowledgeable tour guide, Carlos, who could answer any questions you had about the sight and the Mayans.
We would highly recommend this tour as it was a huge highlight of our trip.

Seriously, is one chance meeting really going to be that bad? If it was, you wouldn't be on here.
Well, I'm a pretty relaxed guy, who loves to laugh as well as make others laugh. People say I have a great smile that can brighten up a room ( I'd like to believe that is true, perhaps you can tell me) I do work a lot so my free time is very special to me. I like to spend it wisley, not just wasting it. I 'm lookig for someone who is as busy as I am so they understand, and then spending the bits of time together that we can is that much more special. I don't look to always having to do something, just relaxing at home once inawhile is a great day for me, I guess I'm looking for the same in somebody else. I'm also tired of playing games. I 've come to realize that that I'm becomig more of a realist and not as much of a dreamer that I used to be. (although I am still a hopless romantic at heart) I know that what I'm saying isn't the best way to go, but I guess I don't want to waste my time or yours. I'd like to cut through the awkwardness and dive in and have some fun. So if you feel the same please let me know. I hope to hear from you soon.

Some other viewpoint
I like to try new and interesting restaurants. Not your typical run of the mill food chains. I like the local bar scene not so much the "trendy" places. The few places I'd like to go to Netherlands, Amsterdam, Scotland and Ireland.
As I said before, I like new ineresting restaurants, and other than that I'm easy to please. I like crime shows on T.V. and almost any movie (I just have to be in the mood to see it) I like all music (The Gypsy Kings are in my car stereo right now)
I enjoy pretty much anything with the right person. I like to play golf and workout. I enjoy hiking and trying new places for a night out. I also enjoy nice dinners and having a few drinks, to kind of unwind
I can't say that I have a last thing read. I am always reading. Right now it's 'ALEPH' by Paulo Coehlo. One of my favorite authors.

|Key Info
Lovingly converted from an old coach house, this fabulous 5 star studio apartment enjoys stunning view towards Lake Windermere. The Gallery is found in a peaceful, pretty location at the head of a private country lane - one of a few select dwellings. Close to Ambleside, you'll enjoy the best of both worlds; explore the delights of the lively village and lake shore, or hide away in blissful tranquility. The unique open plan accommodation has been furnished with no expense spared, to create a contemporary retreat with an infectious sense of calm. You'll find everything you need to relax, pamper and dine together - all the time enjoying one of the most enviable outlooks in the area.
Accommodation in detail
Private parking for 1 car. Traditional entrance porch with space for walking clobber. A spatial flow staircase leads to the first floor accommodation - a very spacious open plan area that's cleverly arranged to provide a sense of space.
Maple storage units surround a king-size bed. Dressing area and luxurious bathroom with whirlpool bath and power shower. The main living area is positioned to enjoy the scenery, with chic designer furnishings. The kitchen sits in a corner of its own, excellently equipped for romantic meals in. Outside you can wander through the tranquil grounds, or take a seat with a glass of wine!
The Gallery enjoys a prime Lake District location - whatever style of holiday you're looking for! The property lies within a select handful of converted properties, close to the shores of Lake Windermere and almost half-way between the popular villages of Ambleside and Windermere (with Bowness-on-Windermere also only a few miles away!). What's more, we highly recommend a romantic drive up to the Queen's Head at Troutbeck (to your north east) then over the Kirkstone Pass to serene Ullswater. An unforgettable day out with unforgettable scenery!
Windermere village is the perfect place to stock up the kitchen. You'll find a Booths supermarket there, stocking fine local produce as well as everyday essentials. Windermere also has a train station, and a range of local shops, pubs. Just a couple of miles down the road from Windermere, you'll find Bowness village on the east shores of the lake. Lively nightlife, restaurants and shops line the high street, and hire boats are a popular attraction in the Bowness Bay.
Ambleside lies to your north, via a scenic drive on the A591 (voted Britain's favourite stretch of road!). The pretty historic village nestles on the northern shore of the Lake, and has grown to become one of the Lake District's most cosmopolitan communities without losing its traditional charm. Ambleside is a lovely place to while away a day, and to enjoy a romantic meal by night. Some of the finest restaurants in the Lake District are found in and around Ambleside. Cruises on Lake Windermere can be taken from Waterhead Pier, just outside Ambleside village centre.

The Lake District
The Lake District is a place like no other. No other region in the world is so packed with such varied and stunning scenery in such as small area– and it's all on your doorstep with easy access by car or rail. The choice of outdoor activities is endless with some of the best walks, climbs and bike rides in the world, beautiful lakes for sailing, canoeing, windsurfing or just a cruise one of several ferry services. The National Park itself encompasses soaring mountains, native woodland (you might see a red squirrel!), lush meadows and of course the many famous lakes themselves. Wordsworth, Beatrix Potter, Ruskin and many more have been inspired by the Lake District and made their homes here. The homes are still here and open to visit and they too are surrounded by majestic mountain panoramas. There also some surprises – kids will love attractions such as the giant i-max screen at Rheged Visitor Centre, Go Ape aerial activities in Grizedale Forest and The World of Beatrix Potter in Bowness. And where better to stay than a classic Lakeland Cottage. Lakelovers have over 400 properties in prime locations within the heart of the Lakes and we specialise in hand-picked properties that we know you'll love. Whether you want a grand property for a family gathering or a cosy bolt hole for two we can't wait to show you what we have for you to choose from. We know The Lakes inside out and we are just a click of a mouse or a phone call away.

Shells: "Fresh Seafood" Top 5 Page for this destination Ormond Beach Restaurant Tip by grandmaR
Ormond Beach Restaurants: 8 reviews and 23 photos
For dinner one night, I didn't want to go to a chain, so I rejected Outback Steakhouse, Burger King, Olive Garden, Bennigans, Pizza Hut, Subway, Quiznos, Ruby Tuesday, and McDonalds. I actually had in mind to go to Shell's and that's where we went.
The restaurant may not exist anymore, or maybe the Ormond Beach one has closed.
Favorite Dish: They seated us and gave us two waiters (although we never saw the girl after the drinks order). We got hot tea. The waiter asked us if we wanted bread, and we said - why do you ask, is it extra. He said no but that with all the low carb diets sometimes people didn't want bread. The bread was a small thin loaf, but he didn't bring a knife to cut it and I had to use my regular knife.
Bob had a half pound of fried scallops (with fries and cole slaw for $8.99) which he said were the smallest he had ever seen, and I had the coconut shrimp and grilled chicken combo for $12.99. This came with baby carrots and broccoli (but the broccoli ends were all brown) and home fries. I couldn't eat the chicken and brought it home. The bill including tip was $32.44

What i can see being a problem is how tight the usb connector is, when i am removing or connecting it the two metal grippers on each side grind against the plastic.
I would contact either the shop you purchased it from or Apple they are usually very good when it comes to customer support.
All i hope is that this is not going to be another issue like with the white Macbooks where the plastic is always cracking every few months right up until the warranty is over and you are left with a cracked device.
Crack that whip ..liquorish whip.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Termination of a Materi
On November 12, 2012, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") announced that it has restructured its relationship with Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corporation ("TPC") and Protiva Biotherapeutics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TPC ("Protiva," and, together with TPC, "Tekmira") with a new license agreement and that the parties have resolved all litigation between them pursuant to a settlement agreement. In addition, the Company has elected to independently manufacture its lipid nanoparticle ("LNP") -based RNAi therapeutic products and to buy-down certain future potential milestone payments and a significant portion of future potential royalties for its ALN-VSP, ALN-PCS, and ALN-TTR programs.
Cross-License Agreement
On November 12, 2012, the Company, Tekmira and Protiva entered into a
Cross-License Agreement (the "Cross-License Agreement"). In connection with the
execution of the Cross-License Agreement, the parties agreed to terminate
certain prior agreements, including: (i) the Amended and Restated License and
Collaboration dated May 30, 2008 between the Company and TPC (the "Prior TPC
Agreement"); (ii) the Amended and Restated Cross-License Agreement dated May 30,
2008 between the Company and Protiva (the "Prior Protiva Agreement," and,
together with the Prior TPC Agreement, the "Prior License Agreements"); and
(iii) the Development, Manufacturing and Supply Agreement dated January 2, 2009 between the Company and TPC (the "Manufacturing Agreement"). The Company and Tekmira also agreed to supersede the rights and obligations under the Supplemental Agreement dated July 27, 2009 between the Company, TPC, Protiva, AlCana Technologies, Inc. ("AlCana") and the University of British Columbia ("UBC"), as between themselves, with the rights and obligations set forth in the Cross-License Agreement.
Under the Cross-License Agreement, the parties have consolidated certain intellectual property related to LNP technology for the systemic delivery of RNAi therapeutics. Specifically, certain patents and patent applications, including the MC3 lipid family, will be assigned by the Company to Tekmira. The Company retains rights to use this intellectual property for the research, development and commercialization of RNAi therapeutic products, including the rights to sublicense this intellectual property on a product-by-product basis. Tekmira has also granted the Company a worldwide license to its LNP technology for the research, development and commercialization of LNP-based RNAi therapeutics, which license shall be exclusive for up to eight targets designated by the Company, and otherwise shall be non-exclusive. The Company has the right to sublicense on a product-by-product basis.
In addition, the Company has elected to buy out its manufacturing obligations to TPC with respect to its LNP-based pipeline programs. Pursuant to the terms of the Cross-License Agreement, the Company will make a one-time payment of $30 million to Tekmira for the termination of, and release of the Company from, all of the Company's obligations under the Manufacturing Agreement, including without limitation the obligations to obtain materials and/or services from TPC. The Company will also have the right to manufacture and have manufactured its LNP-based RNAi therapeutics, which right may be sublicensed to the Company's collaborators.
Consistent with the Prior License Agreements, under the Cross-License Agreement, Tekmira is eligible to receive up to an aggregate of $16.0 million in milestone payments for any future RNAi therapeutic formulated using Tekmira LNP technology, excluding ALN-VSP, ALN-PCS and ALN-TTR, together with low single-digit royalty payments on annual product sales, if any.
Under the Cross-License Agreement, Tekmira maintains the three exclusive and five non-exclusive licenses previously granted by the Company under the Prior License Agreements to research, develop and commercialize RNAi therapeutics directed to up to eight gene targets. In addition, the Company has granted Tekmira a non-exclusive license for two additional gene targets, on the same terms and conditions as the prior non-exclusive licenses. In connection with the Settlement Agreement described below, Tekmira also acquired from AlCana its existing options for three additional non-exclusive licenses, which have been included under the Cross-License Agreement. Tekmira may sublicense these rights on a product-by-product basis. The Company has waived its right under the Prior License Agreements to opt-in to the Tekmira research program directed to PLK1.
Under the Cross-License Agreement, the Company is eligible to receive from Tekmira up to an aggregate of $8.5 million in milestone payments for RNAi therapeutics directed to nine of the targets for which the Company has granted licenses to Tekmira, together with single-digit royalties on annual product sales, if any, of RNAi therapeutic products directed to all thirteen of the targets for which the Company has granted licenses to Tekmira.
The term of the Cross-License Agreement generally ends upon the expiration of the last-to-expire royalty term. Royalties are payable on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis commencing on the first commercial sale of a product in a country and continuing during any period in which (a) in the case of Company products, a valid claim within the Tekmira Royalty-Bearing Patents (as defined in the Cross-License Agreement) covers the applicable Company product in such country of sale, or (b) in the case of Tekmira products, a valid claim within the Company patents covers the applicable Tekmira product in such country of sale. The Company estimates that its fundamental RNAi patents covered under the Cross-License Agreement will expire both in and outside the United . . .
As more fully described above, on November 12, 2012, in connection with the restructuring of their relationship and the execution of the Cross-License Agreement, the Company, TPC and Protiva agreed to terminate the Prior TPC Agreement, the Prior Protiva Agreement and the Manufacturing Agreement.

Local activists back from Crawford
One was awed by numbers of people who came together
"There were people lined along the road," Emily Olivarez, a member of South Texas Alliance for Peace and Justice, said before the group began driving back to Corpus Christi. "The crosses were along the side of the road, each with the name of a U.S. soldier who has died."
Olivarez, along with Sylvia Samaniego, Martha Moore and Jim and Geanne O'Leary, left Corpus Christi on Monday to be a part of Cindy Sheehan's vigil outside President Bush's ranch.
Sheehan, whose son died in Iraq last year, has promised to stay outside Bush's ranch for his month-long stay unless he meets with her. Bush, who has said he sympathizes with Sheenan, met with her and other parents two months after her son died. He has made no indication that he will meet with her again, according to The Associated Press.
Olivarez said that while they were there, the camp was about to be moved to an acre of land loaned to the protesters by an area resident. She said there is a map for Sheehan's supporters to mark where they are from and a notebook for their names.
"There are people from all over the country and around the world," Olivarez said. "Someone sent 30 red roses from California. They lined them up in water bottles."
Samaniego said the feeling at the camp and in the city of Crawford is one of a great community and almost spiritual in nature.
"It was extraordinary," Olivarez said. "All the people coming together."

A hotfix is available for performance issues in Windows Communication Foundation for the .NET Framework 4.0
Article ID: 983182 - View products that this article applies to.
On This Page
This article describes a hotfix that addresses the following performance issues in Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) for the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.
Issue 1When a client application opens and closes TCP connections to a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service quickly, memory fragmentation may occur in the generation 0 heap. This fragmentation can adversely affect the performance of the WCF service.
This problem occurs because buffers that are allocated to receive data from the TCP connection are not released until the connection is closed. In some cases these buffers are pinned. Therefore, the buffers cannot be reclaimed by garbage collection.
Issue 2The way that objects are allocated to the Large Object Heap (LOH) for WCF services may result in memory fragmentation.
This hotfix optimizes the way that objects are allocated to the LOH to prevent memory fragmentation and improve memory usage.

One of Yackel's math crafting books
Carolyn Yackel is a math teacher who uses the principles of mathematics to make crochet and needlework art. Crochê presta-se surpreendentemente bem para um 3 dimensional representação de conceitos matemáticos. E os números resultantes se prestam bem a arte, uma vez que elas são baseadas em princípios que são visualmente atraentes. Let's explore all this a bit more …
Crochet and Math
Yackel is not the first mathematician to use crochet to express the principles of math. One of the people who is most well known in this area is Daina Taimina. In the late '90s she realized that she could use crochet to take mathematic ideas that were difficult to grasp because the concepts were elusive and show them in a tangible way so that they would make more sense. Mais especificamente, Taimina percebi que usando um algoritmo simples quando crochê poderia criar figuras matematicamente puras que poderiam ajudar a explicar as complexidades da geometria em um formato altamente visual. Margaret and Christine Wertheim used her ideas to create hyperbolic crochet pieces, which are the math-based crochet items used in their most famous project, the Hyperbolic Crochet Reef project. So to put it simply, math can be expressed through crochet.
The Beauty of Math
The next thing we have to consider here is that math naturally creates beauty. That sounds arguable but it's actually got a basis. While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, there are certain things to which we are naturally drawn and those things are often based in math. The Fibonnaci sequence and the Golden Ratio are frequently correlated with things we find attractive and of course are both based on math. What this suggests then is that if you use mathematical principles to create visual items then you may increase your chances of creating an item that is visually appealing. And that's how using crochet to express math can lead to crochet art.
Carolyn Yackel's Crochet Art
Carolyn Yackel came to my attention because her work is part of a fiber art exhibit ending this week at 567 Center in Macon, Georgia. Here are some examples of her math in crochet action:
Fortunatus's Purse Hat, a four-dimensional item which is tough for us to understand since we live in a three-dimensional world!
The Dual Seven Colored Tori, de malha e malha, que "which implies that a graph on a torus requires at most seven colors in order to color the vertices so that no vertices connected by an edge are the same color."
The Lorenz Manifold, crocheted by Yackel but the original math-crochet idea for this one comes from Hinke M. Osinga & Bernd Krauskopf
Have you ever used math to make crochet, perhaps by trying hyperbolic crochet?

Sept. 24, at No. 15 San Diego, L, 3-1
The University of New Mexico volleyball team lost to No. 15 San Diego, 3-1 (21-30, 30-18, 30-25, 30-18) on a rare Monday night match for the Lobos. UNM is now 11-4 on the season and 3-3 on the season against teams that played in the 2006 NCAA Tournament.
Junior outside hitter Jeanne Fairchild recorded a team-high 18 kills, while freshman Taylor Hadfield had a career-high 11 kills on the night. Freshman Lisa Meeter just missed out on her seventh consecutive double-double with nine kills and 11 digs.
The Lobos took Game One in commanding fashion, building an 18-12 lead behind the serve of Sarah Kwasigroch. New Mexico allowed the Toreros to close to within one, 21-20, before Lisa Meeter held serve, including three service aces, getting the lead back to 26-20. A service ace by Gayle Tripp and a kill by Fairchild, one of her game-high six, sealed the 30-21 win.
Game Two was a different story as the Toreros out-hit UNM, .471 to .094. The teams played evenly to start the game, until USD moved out ahead to a 13-8 lead. The Toreros steadily increased the lead until New Mexico closed to within four at 18-14 and 19-15. USD held serve to build a 25-15 lead and did not allow the Lobos to close the gap, winning 30-18.
Hadfield, playing in her home state for the first time as a collegian, led the Lobos in Game Three with five key kills that kept UNM in the hunt. Her first kill put UNM within one at 6-5, while her other four earned the Lobos a sideout each time. Hadfield also paired with Anna Lehne for a block to cut the Torero lead to four at 29-25, before a Lobo attack error won the game for USD, 30-25.
Game Four saw USD build to a 11-6 lead and steadily pull away from the Lobos to the 30-18 final.
The Johnson Center crowd of 1,083 was instrumental in the Lobo win. It was the largest and loudest crowd, to date, of the 2007 season.
Fairchild led the Lobos with 17 kills, while Meeter recorded her ninth double-double of the season with 14 kills and 16 digs. Gayle Tripp led the Lobos with 20 digs. Michaelsen and junior Sarah Kwasigroch split the assists with 25 and 20, respectively.

I picked up a factory demo M&P 9mm compact a few weeks ago for a steal. But the slide seemed too thick and overall too bulky for a compact CCW. I was actually thinking of selling it at this weekends gun show.
I'm glad I at least took to the range first. WOW! This is an awsome shooting pistol! I only put 100rds of WWB throught it. But that was enough to change my mind.
Sorry dude
Is it much different in size to the P99c?

Very similar. Some time last year I was checking out a P99c at a gun show, and thought about getting one. But it is too similar to my `04 P99QA. That was also the first time I held the new M&P9. Once I saw the early pics of the M&Pcompact, I put that on my wish list. Then a few weeks ago, I found and bought a factory demo.
But I lost interest in it quickly. The slide has more of a thick square box feel to it compared to the angled slide of the P99s. IMO, the full size 99s felt more concealable than the M&Pc.
So I was thinking of selling it at the next gun show. I had to at least shoot it first. (It took a while to get to the range, with all the snow Denver has been getting lately.) But once I shot it, I fell in love with it.

Well, I went to a gun show today, and one of the dealers had both the Walther P-99compact and the M&Pcompact available. Holding those two at the same time, I lost interest in the M&Pc again. The P-99c seems to be a perfect design for a compact. The grip feels perfect, and the angled slide doesn't seem thick and blocky like the M&Pc.
I see how it is.
so you going to sell it? how much you going to want for it?
Originally Posted by Shipwreck

I held them both the other day at Wulf's sporting goods and the size was very close but the P99 seemed a lot lighter.
Well, the P99c is my all time fav subcompact. I like it a lot.
I thought I would want an M&P when they first came out and I saw the photos. BUt I've since reconsidered. It doesn't feel as nice in my hand as the p(9.
Don't know about the rest of U guys - but because the P99 fits me so well, I've discounted a lot of other guns that just don't fit in my hand as well. It's spoiled me

Possibly. Very soon. I don't want to say a price until then.

Localization in Binaural Reproduction with Insert Headphones
Circumaural headphones are commonly used in binaural reproduction and it is well known that individual equalization of the headphones improves the quality of the reproduction. The suitability of insert headphones to binaural reproduction has not been studied partly due the lack of commonly accepted individual equalization method for insert headphones. Recently, a method to estimate the frequency response evoked by insert headphones has been presented. In this paper, the localization accuracy of test subjects is evaluated in binaural listening with insert headphones and high-quality circumaural headphones. The results show that the accuracy with inserts is similar to that with circumaural headphones when the recently proposed method is applied for equalization, which motivates their use in binaural reproduction.

Apple just obsoleted the Mac and nobody noticed
With iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, Apple is finally showing us its idea of how we'll compute in the future. Perhaps not surprisingly, this pristine vision of our computing destiny — unveiled after years of secret, patient and painstaking development — aligns perfectly with how we currently use our computers and mobile devices.
The keynote at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this month not only showed off a new way to think about computing, based on data not devices, but also silenced pretty much every criticism leveled at the company over the past few years.
Let's take a look at Apple's new way of doing things, which fulfills Steve Jobs' post-PC plan by minimizing the importance of the Mac.

- "A key component of a CPS longer school day will include instruction that incorporates the new Common Core State Standards, which will become the academic standard across Chicago in the 2012/2013 school year," said the press release that was handed out on Aug. 23, 2011. This will help increase the scores in CPSs, making them compatible to other schools scores in Illinois. Out of 405,000 students attending 675 schools, CPS had nearly eight percent of their students meet all four college-readiness requirements. It is crucial to raise their test scores. Increasing scores factors into college acceptance, and finding jobs once out of school.
- The additional 90 minutes also helps teachers prepare for their students. This will let teachers have more time to plan activities for their class as well as have one-on-one time with students who need to seek extra help. According to a recent survey that was done, 69 percent of teachers said they didn't have enough instructional time to adequately meet their students needs.
"Parent focus groups will also provide an opportunity for parents to voice their opinions on what types of instruction would benefit their children," said the press release. Parents are directly affected by the lengthened school day. CPS has not forgot as they will be creating groups specifically to help parent's talk about their concerns of what the longer day entails.
