How Exchange Server Uses RPCExchange Server uses remote procedure call (RPC) built into Microsoft Windows NT to establish connections among the Exchange Server processes, such as connections between Exchange Server message transfer agents (MTAs), and to connect Exchange Clients and Exchange Server computers in the network. Exchange Server can use RPC over named pipes, TCP/IP, NetBIOS, and IPX/SPX. When it uses RPC, Exchange Server proceeds through a list of those protocols and tries to establish RPC binding. The preference order of the transports is defined by the RPC Binding Order, which by default is: local RPC, TCP/IP, SPX, named pipes, and then NetBIOS (in order of preference).
Changing the RPC Protocol Binding OrderThe default RPC protocol binding order is set when an Exchange Client is installed. This setting determines the protocol sequence that the client uses to communicate with Exchange Server. You can change the RPC binding order before or after the client is installed. You can improve performance by changing the RPC binding order if the client uses multiple protocols or if the single protocol your client uses is not the first listed in the RPC binding order. If the protocol that the Exchange Client uses is last in the sequence, the client attempts to bind over the protocols listed before that protocol when it connects to the server. The protocols are represented in the binding order, using the following entries. The string ncacn refers to Network Computing Architecture Connection.
For example, the following entry attempts to establish connections over SPX, TCP/IP, and NetBIOS, in that order.
Protocol name RPC protocol string ---------------------------------- Local RPC ncalrpc TCP/IP ncacn_ip_tcp SPX ncacn_spx Named pipes ncacn_np NetBIOS netbios VINES IP ncacn_vns_spp
Clients Running Windows 95, Windows NT Server, and Windows NT WorkstationBy default, the Exchange Client uses the following RPC binding order for Windows 95, Windows NT Server, and Windows NT Workstation when it connects to an Exchange Server computer.
Before installation:
In Setup Editor, select the Binding Order property page.After installation:
Use the Registry Editor to modify the binding order.
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ )How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
Locate and modify the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Exchange Provider.For example, the following entry establishes SPX, TCP/IP, and NetBIOS connections in the order indicated:
Clients Running Windows and Windows for WorkgroupsBy default, the Exchange Client uses the following RPC binding order for Windows for Workgroups when it connects to an Exchange Server computer.
Before installation:
In Setup Editor, select the Binding Order property page.After installation:
In the Exchng.ini file in the Windows folder, edit the [Exchange Provider] section. For example, the following entry in the Exchng.ini file establishes SPX, TCP/IP, and NetBIOS connections in the order indicated:
[Exchange Provider] RPC_Binding_Order=ncacn_spx,ncacn_ip_tcp,netbios
Clients Running MS-DOSBy default, the Exchange Client uses the following RPC binding order for MS-DOS when it connects to an Exchange Server computer.
You do not need to restart the computer after you modify the Exchange binding order. The Exchange Client rereads the binding when it restarts. For troubleshooting purposes, simply change the binding order in the registry (make sure the key has been fully committed to the registry), and then perform a check names from the properties for the Exchange Server service (in Control Panel, double-click Mail). You do not even need to quit the Registry Editor when you try different bindings.
IMPORTANT: You MUST use commas between binding order entries, or the binding is not read. If, for example, you use "ncacn_ip_tcp;netbios" and perform a check names, the following error is immediately displayed:
If you delete the entire RPC_binding_Order subkey, the Exchange Client uses the default binding order. This may be a good quick troubleshooting step if you have concerns about incorrect entries in the binding order.
The name could not be resolved. The Microsoft Address Book was unable to
log on to the Microsoft Exchange Server computer. Contact your system
administrator if the problem persists. <ok>

Canada is a prosperous society with a highly educated workforce, substantial natural resources, modern infrastructure, well-functioning public organizations and sound financial institutions. The country's high standard of living and quality of life is sustained through a diversified, open economy that respects the rule of law, pursues free trade, supports innovation, fosters competition and welcomes foreign investment.
Canada is a very large country with a relatively small population. It is the second largest country in the world in terms of area and is ranked 37th in terms of inhabitants. Canada's vast territory stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, across six time zones, and from the same latitude as Rome, Italy, to beyond the magnetic North Pole. However, nearly 90 percent of the country's population of 34 million lives in southern Canada within 160 kilometres (100 miles) of the long border with the Lower 48 American states. Over 50 percent of Canadians reside in the corridor from Québec City to Windsor (opposite the American city, Detroit).
Natural Resources
As a result of Canada's relatively small and concentrated population, vast tracts of the country are uninhabited and unspoiled. This hinterland contains a substantial storehouse of natural resources, including a coniferous boreal forest greater in size than the continent of Europe, a wide range of valuable minerals, metals and other materials, nine percent of the world's renewable (and 20 percent of its surface) freshwater, substantial natural gas deposits, and a massive deposit of bitumen that contains proven reserves of 178 billion barrels of oil (at current prices using available technology), and total reserves exceeding 1.6 trillion barrels.
From Colony to Country
Canada is a federation, like the United States, and a constitutional monarchy and Parliamentary democracy, like the United Kingdom. Its political structure and legal system reflect its roots as (first) New France and then British North America.
A colony of France for 160 years beginning in the early 17th century, and of Britain for an additional century thereafter, Canada became a country in 1867 through the union of the three British colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the original Province of Canada (which subdivided into the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Québec). Subsequent expansion transformed the western territories into additional provinces so that, today, Canada is a federation of 10 provinces, with three remaining territories in the Far North.
Division of Powers
Canada is a more decentralized federation than the United States. Under the division of powers agreed to at the time of Canada's Confederation in 1867, the federal government is generally responsible for national and international matters. The provincial governments are responsible for matters that are more local or private in nature, as well as property and civil rights. The power of both the federal and provincial governments to act unreasonably has subsequently been constrained through the entrenchment of certain rights and freedoms in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Developments since the mid-19th century and the complexities of modern societies have caused an unavoidable overlapping of federal and provincial jurisdictions. This overlap has created inevitable tensions and has required extensive inter-governmental delegation and collaboration as well as the harmonization of provincial legal frameworks. In particular, the assignment of jurisdiction over health and education matters to the provinces has necessitated the development of a complex scheme of federal-provincial fiscal transfers.
Head of State
Canada's Head of State remains Queen Elizabeth II, as Queen of Canada. Her largely ceremonial role is fulfilled on a daily basis by an appointed Canadian Governor-General.
Parliament of Canada
Like the British Parliament at Westminster, the Parliament of Canada is bi-cameral, with an elected House of Commons and appointed Senate (with limited, subordinated powers). The leader of the political party that holds the largest number of seats in the House of Commons is the Prime Minister and he or she forms a government that must maintain the confidence of the House. As in the United Kingdom, a permanent professional civil service, up to the level of Deputy Minister, is charged with providing advice to the various Ministers.
In contrast with the bi-cameral federal Parliament, single legislatures now exist at the provincial level. While municipalities have a significant role in the delivery of public services and regulation of economic activity, they remain creatures of provincial statute without their own constitutional basis. Municipalities have limited powers of taxation, both in absolute terms and relative to their growing responsibilities.
There are three remaining territories (in the north of Canada) which remain under federal jurisdiction although with their own territorial legislatures now possessing province-like powers. In addition, Canada's aboriginal peoples exercise limited self-government in certain regions and areas pursuant to treaties and agreements.
Official Languages
Canada is officially bilingual at the national level. However, the French language is spoken primarily in the province of Québec, as well as in adjacent areas of Eastern Ontario and Northern New Brunswick, which is an officially bilingual province. While Québec has remained a relatively homogeneous French-speaking society, continuing waves of immigration throughout the 20th century have caused the rest of Canada (and particularly the largest cities) to become multi-racial and multicultural, with English as the lingua franca.
Legal System
There are three branches of government in Canada – the executive, legislative and judicial. The independence of Canadian courts from the executive and legislative branches of Canadian government is a well-established principle that is scrupulously observed and defended as a fundamental requirement of the rule of law. Commercial court proceedings are usually heard in the federal courts or the superior courts of the provinces (which are presided over by federally-appointed judges)
There is one criminal law across Canada and it is rooted in the British common law. Most provinces across Canada have private legal systems based on the English common law and legal precedents. However, matters of private law in Québec (i.e., contract, family and property matters) continue to be governed by a Civil Code. Meanwhile, corporate/business laws in all provinces, including Québec, have been heavily influenced by American legal developments and innovations. In short, Canada's legal system reflects its dual French and English roots, and North American reality.

Appellate Court Asks California Supreme Court To Weigh In On Gay-Marriage Ban
Professor Ralph Richard Banks is quoted by the Washington Post in the following article regarding an unusual move by the Ninth Circuit of Appeals. The federal appeals court opted to consult the California Supreme Court in deciding whether or not the proponents of Proposition 8 have legal standing to bring their case before the court. Jerry Markon reports:
A federal appeals court in California on Tuesday took the unusual step of asking a state court to decide a key legal question before it considers whether the state's ban on same-sex marriage violates the U.S. Constitution.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit sought the input of the California Supreme Court on whether proponents of the ban, known as Proposition 8, have the legal standing to defend it in court. The question lies at the heart of the case because California officials had declined to defend the measure, as is customary when laws are challenged.
"There are certainly justifiable reasons that weigh in favor of allowing such a controversial decision to be appealed,'' said R. Richard Banks, a professor at Stanford Law School. He said that it is unusual for a federal court, which has its own rules on appeals, to seek guidance from a state court and that the judges were probably reacting to political sensitivities.
"The last thing you want is a sense that some federal judges came in and hijacked the state and required it to recognize same-sex marriage when the people didn't want to,'' Banks said.

Hey, I just had to delete a few unauthorized Chrome extensions because some guy from the Ukraine decided I should have hyperlinks pop up along with all my beloved text. Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up if you're seeing it on the site like I was. It's not Dtoid doing that.
What extensions were you using?
I didn't even look to see what the fake names were but it was some crap I never installed. There were two of them, one was something about Facebook Zoom and the other was just random numbers.
Worth checking extensions then I guess.
Yeah, I thought it was a site issue at first. Then it dawned on me what was really going on...could have something to do with those superhero films I uh, obtained the other night.
There are people who still get viruses from torrents?
Imy friend extracted the .exe and attempted to run it, Norton saw fit to delete the executable because it was flagged as malware. Had to re-download it again, and disable myhis real-time scanning and firewall to install it.
So, yeah. It could and does still happen if you're not careful.
Looks like the [VIDEO][ /VIDEO] tags don't work anymore?
I'm getting blank space where youtube clips should be. Luckily the last remant of Technophile's work here, the [YOUTUBE][ /YOUTUBE] tags still operate.
EDIT: Welp.

Seems fine on Chrome and Tapatalk. This working again for you?
Yeah, my chrome must've fucked up somewhere. it's all working now.
Having trouble accessing the forums from Chrome on desktop. Keeps saying "504 gateway time-out". Mobile version seems fine though.
Huh... Anyone else having this issue as well?
It's stopped now but it lasted a good 10-25 minutes.
Weird. Yeah, let me know if it starts happening again.
I had that earlier in the afternoon, but like Used it went away after a (relatively) short bit.
The forums have been loading super slow on desktop chrome and now youtube videos are being replaced with "ADVERTISEMENT" on mobile chrome.

Discussion: Please no more 8AM games SSUSA
that's too logical, isn't it? a couple of years ago at the winter nationals in fort myers/naples we played a 9am game, sunshine directly over centerfield. as a hitter you could not see the ball, you could only hope to guess where it might end up. there were 11 or 12 strikeouts (called or swinging) that game. it certainly was one of the least favorite or fun games that i have ever played in. the ironic part is if on that particular diamond they started at 10am the sun would not have been a issue, since by the last inning it had moved enough to not be a factor anymore.

Discussion: Not sure what this is saying, but.......
i think i can answer that very simply. we have 4 solid teams in our league and a strong presence of major and a few major + players in the league as well. the majority wanted to play doubleheaders one night a week, thus limiting the amount of teams in the league. if we played two nights per week we probably could have had the opportunity to have more teams in our league. i think the screen is a non-issue, as long as it's applied fairly centered to the rubber evenly on both sides.. it is league play after all, no need for anyone to get hurt. if they start using the screen in tournaments then i think you might begin to have an issue.

Discussion: rule clarification
guys, would like some feedback on this issue, have not been able to find an answer as of yet. in our senior league last tuesday night we had a situation with runners on 1st and 2nd nobody out. batter hits a ground ball to 2nd base side of first baseman, backhanded play is made by first baseman. he hustles to make the out at 1st (very close play, by the way) in doing so he runs directly across the white base and the orange base impeding the progress of our runner's attempt to run thru the orange base. obviously our runner slows down to avoid a collision, although one happened anyway. the question we've been tossing around is: we believe the runner has the right to run directly thru the orange base in an attempt to be safe. does the first baseman have the right to run thru both bases and impede the progress of the baserunner. it was always our understanding that the orange base was put in to avoid these types of situations and the first baseman could/should have just touched the white base for the out. looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this.

Discussion: anyone use a pitcher screen in league play
cureveball - i forgot to add and remembered after reading your post. the net was suppose to be centered in relationship with the rubber - but the pitcher was allowed to pitch from off to the side of the rubber - his foot did not have to be in contact with the rubber, just close enough this way he was equal to both sides of the rubber and not using the screen as an extra defender on one side more than the other. this way he was also able to pitch from either side equally and not have to worry about pitching over the screen if i read your comment correctly.

guys - we used a screen for the 1st time this year in our senior league. outside of a couple minor issues it seemed to work fairly well. with that being said, the general consensus by the pitchers in the league was that they DID NOT like the screen. the major complaint was that they became ineffective as a fielder (and i know you run into the issue of safety vs. being able to field your position), our rule was if it hit the screen - automatic out. if the pitcher fields the ball behind the screen - dead ball, batter and all runners awarded 2 bases (the pitcher was allowed to field anything that remained in front of the screen). the most obvious problem we had in our league was the pitchers moving the screen to either side of the rubber depending on whether a lefty or righty was at bat. the arguement from hitters was that the screen should be placed just in front of the rubber, with the rubber itself positioned in the center of the screen. the screen was not intended to be used as another defender by taking away a portion of the middle shot that was available to hitters. it was simply there for the protection of the pitcher. we had a couple of instances where batters refused to get in the batter's box until the screen was centered to the rubber because the pitchers moved them over to take away part of the remaining middle shot that was open. will we use the screen next year, i really don't know - but i suppose that's something that will have to be sorted out at next years meeting.

guys - i apologize to all the teams in the 50 major division - i was very disappointed in the fact that we couldn't field our regular team for this tournament. we only had 6 starters able to make the trip - and i know we didn't put our best foot forward not only for us, but for the great competition that was down there as well. at this point we can only wonder "what if" - congrats to ims dogs, kaysons's grill, metro stars and the rest of the teams that competed this past weekend. btw: for the guys in the dugout for metro stars who wanted to check my id - yes i am 50, and hopefully i'll still be running like this for years to come - but thanks for the compliment made me feel young again if only for a moment.

It used to cross Adam LaRoche's mind when he stepped to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning, or later, and realized a home run would win the game for his team. But at some point over the last 11 years, he realized it was doing him no good to worry about it.
Besides, it had to happen eventually, right? Stick around this league long enough, and keep hitting 20-plus homers every season, and one of them was bound to produce a walk-off victory.
"You know, you get to a point where you really stop thinking about it," he said. "I just felt like I had been snakebit. It seems like any of my ninth-inning homers have come on the road. I just haven't been able to do it at home."
Well, LaRoche can now cross that long-awaited event off his bucket list.
With a towering blast off the facade of the second deck in right field late Monday night, the veteran first baseman gave his Nationals yet another dramatic victory in a week full of them. His solo shot off Diamondbacks reliever Will Harris secured a 5-4, 11-inning win, the Nationals' seventh straight, their third straight in walk-off fashion.
"Took me long enough," the understated LaRoche said. "It's a good feeling."
Everything feels good for the Nationals right now, even if they've been forced to bounce back from some soul-crushing meltdowns late to ultimately emerge victorious.
On Sunday, they watched Rafael Soriano give up three runs in the top of the ninth, only to come back and tie the game in the bottom of the inning, then win it in the 11th. On Monday, with Soriano shelved after pitching five of the last six days, they watched Tyler Clippard blow his save opportunity, serving up a top-of-the-ninth homer to David Peralta.
And yet once again, they bounced back from that punch to the gut. Though not before escaping a harrowing jam in the top of the 11th.
Craig Stammen, only 48 hours removed from a 3-inning relief appearance, loaded the bases with nobody out and found himself one lazy fly ball, one slow roller, one wild pitch away from giving up the go-ahead run. Yet somehow the right-hander wriggled his way out of it unscathed, striking out both Jake Lamb and Didi Gregorius before getting Cliff Pennington to ground out.
It was the kind of escape act that helps define a 7-game winning streak.
"It just feels like every break is going our way," Stammen said. "You don't get out of a bases-loaded jam very often. That's a once-in-25-time thing."
It did leave the Nationals fired up when they returned to the dugout for the bottom of the 11th inning, momentum very much in their possession.
"When I go into games like that, I always tell myself to keep the momentum on my side, try to get it back, get them in the dugout fast," Stammen said. "I didn't really do that. But loading the bases and getting out of it, I guess, motivated Adam enough to hit a home run."
"It's nothing a pitcher ever wants to get into," LaRoche said. "But for him to grind back right there ... that could've easily been a disastrous inning with the bases loaded and nobody out. To fight back and make those pitches to get us back into the dugout, it was big for us."
It was trumped only by LaRoche's heroics a few minutes later. At the plate with two out and nobody on, he worked the count to 3-1 against Harris. That situation pretty much always calls for a fastball, but Harris thought he could surprise LaRoche and sneak a curveball over the plate.
"I guess maybe in the back of his head, he thought he might be getting an off-speed pitch, that I'd be pitching around him with a righty on deck," Harris said.
Truth be told, LaRoche admittedly was surprised by the breaking ball.
"Honestly, the last thing I'm looking for right there is a 3-1 curveball," he said. "I just happened to see it really good."
As the ball soared into the night, LaRoche tossed his bat and looked at the Nationals' dugout, then made a trip around the bases he had waited 11 years to experience.
The 236th home run of his career was the first that featured a throng of teammates waiting for him at the plate, the first that led directly to an on-field interview, the first that was capped by a Gatorade bath.
And if LaRoche has his way, this won't be his last.
"Hopefully," he said, "this is the start of a few more."

United has divided its widely-anticipated widebody order evenly between rival airframers Airbus and Boeing, ordering 25 A350XWBs and 25 Boeing 787s.
The airline is also taking options to purchase 50 additional aircraft of each type.
At the time it issued its request for proposal United stated in no uncertain terms the deal needed favourable financial terms.
"One of our financial objectives was to ensure any aircraft order not impact the work we are doing to strengthen ourbalance sheet and improve our liquidity. The deal needed to drive strong economics to justify the investments, as well as provide fleet flexibility over the long term," says carrier CEO Glenn Tilton.
"This order very clearly meets those criteria. These new next-generation planes will enable us to reduce our operating costs, significantly lower our fuel burn, improve the onboard experience for our customers and our people, and enable us to reach markets we could not previously cost-effectively serve."
The carrier expects to take delivery of the aircraft between 2016 and 2019, and Tilton says United's cash outlay is minimal through 2013.

EU Sees Wide Gender Gap On Corporate Boards
By Teri Schultz
Originally published on Mon October 29, 2012 4:48 am
A new study released by the World Economic Forum ranks northern European nations at the top when it comes to the size of their gender gap. But one area where the gap is huge is in the percentage of women on company boards; it's less than 15 percent EU-wide. Controversy over what should be done about that — and by whom — is more divisive than ever.

Thank you Nadine and John for your support!
Nadine- I think an important step could include one-on-one interactions with your community. Helping people understand how the estuary and surrounding habitats in Northern Baja can provide important habitat for migratory birds traveling all along the Pacific Flyway can help instill local pride for the larger scale process. Good luck with your impressive work!
Love to hear stories like this. Thank for your hard work.
Hi! I live in a farming/ranch community in northern Baja overlooking an amazing estuary. We are in the process of getting the estuary federal protection. I've built a website, http://www.bajabird.com to document the birds and serve as an educational tool to support the project. Your video was encouraging and I thought perhaps you might have some good advice for getting the farmers and locals on board! Hope to hear from you. Thanks for the work you do. Best, Nadine.

Gulf Tourism Needs to Offer More Variety in Order to Attract Tourists
Sep 24, 2013 12:30 am
Skift Take
As this report points out, events in the Middle East have created a hole in the tourism market for that region. Expect to see the Gulf countries stepping up their tourism pitches to fill that gap.
…Not enough is being done, according to consultants Booz & Co…as each country concentrates only on a niche. For Saudi, it's religious tourism and Oman it's the beaches, while Qatar and Bahrain try to offer a business-friendly environment, but little else, the consultants say.
However, analysts all agree that given the unrest and insecurity of traditional tourist hotspots in the Middle East, such as Egypt, Syria and Lebanon, the safe-haven status of the Gulf countries throws up a huge opportunity, especially if each market can become popular in its own right.

I should tell you that when Mythic was sold to EA, I was one of those people who thought "Well there goes the game." I'd not played Dark Age of Camelot as my primary, full time, MMO for about 2 years previous to the sale, but I'd still keep tabs on the game, and would often return for short bits of time to check out the expansions. But when the company became EAMythic, the final nail entered the coffin as far as I was concerned. I felt like many other long term players, thinking that the game wasn't going to continue to grow and develop; that if new content went in it would be a minor miracle, with no hope of long standing balance issues and problems ever seeing the light of repair.
It is with great humility that I admit that not only was I wrong, but that the current development team actually impressed me with what they've been doing. Last night I attended the Dark Age of Camelot Roadtrip Roundtable in Philadelphia and had an opportunity to see where the game has gone recently, and where it will be going in the future.
DJ Larkin, Class Balance Lead, and James Casey, Content Lead had a prepared presentation to share with those who attended. It covered the most recent changes to the game and what the remainder of 2007 would hold. In patch 1.88, some of the live game updates included a new bounty point system. The old system was limited to being able to pay your rent, and perhaps buy a few potions. Under the new system they've begun to add new ways for people to spend BPs that are useful to them. Some of the recent additions include allowing BPs to be spent to by realm respects, Champion Level respects, Master Level respects, a horse, hastener gems, and an experience granting scroll. And this is only the beginning of what's been planned and already implemented.
They've also recently added a Pendragon Tester NPC, something that I know many of the testers and team leads have been asking literally for years. This NPC will allow you to set your character to whatever level you choose, to set your realm rank, and have gear appropriate to your character for testing purposes. This amazing little change has far reaching implications for the future of testing on Pendragon, and seems to be well timed giving many of the future changes that will be coming to the game.
Crafting is undergoing a revamp. Starting with patch 1.88, crafting times were normalized, and many of the NPC's needed for crafting were centralized to areas of the game world where the crafting would be happening. The phrase repeated time and again, and not just in regards to crafting, is that the developers are trying to remove the frustration and "annoyance factor" of the game systems.
When they opened the floor for questions and answers at the end of the presentation, one of the players asked about what plans the developers had for making crafted items important again in comparison to dropped items. This is an issue that they've been working on behind the scenes, but weren't ready to reveal specific plans on yet. It was refreshing to have developers admit that they saw something as an issue and were taking feedback from players on the issue, but didn't have the answer yet.
Other new additions include: all players get a basic horse at level 10; guild gifts will include glowing weapons at the same levels as armor was being given ou;, and the game is being made Vista compatible. They are also in the process of testing compatibility with Xfire, the stand alone system that allows you to track, message and talk to your friends in game without being logged in to the game.
Probably the biggest recent change to the game is the archery revamp that has been occurring throughout version 1.88. Long time players will remember when archery was revamped the first time and the "multiple click" method of firing arrows was added. Feedback from new, and even many experienced players indicated that this system was difficult to learn and cumbersome. The developers went back and "reinvented the reinvented wheel". They've normalized the abilities to have an Archery line, each of which contains 12 types of shots and several self-only buffs. New archery abilities are now under the spell tab, with archery skills requiring just one click to fire, and the skills are universally modified by dexterity. The system is still being balanced so that damage over time is actually being raised slightly, though each shot might do less damage than previously. The other goal of this revamped system is for damage and accuracy to be balanced to be predictable and reliable, but it was pointed out that from current tests on Pendragon this goal hasn't quite been reached yet. Again, though, it was nice to hear developers really listen to what the players were saying, and ask for feedback. And other players at the talk mentioned that the new graphics for archery are just downright cool. For more information on details of the patch, you can go to the Camelot Herald and search for patch 1.88.
What is coming in the rest of the year that had the players most excited, and made me think that it might just be time to return. They're currently working on a New Frontiers update that is going to revamp RvR in the game. In an effort to remove some of the frustrations and annoyances of RvR keep taking, they're removing ladders from all keeps and putting in ramps iinstead. Bridges, towers and keeps are all being redesigned with ramps rather than ladders, and will have climb points on them made more obvious, as well as more numerous, once the redesign. The prototypes are being looked at by the team leads, and soon the first redesigns will show up in the battlegrounds on Pendragon for testing.
They're also looking to help improve framerate and game performance overall in RvR by changing much of the technical "stuff" of how keeps are rendered. They're fixing line of site issues, improving pet pathing, normalizing the height and depth of keep walls, and generally spending time listening to team leads and players about what was most frustrating about keep taking in RvR.
Also in planning are entirely new mechanics. The plans include adding siege towers, shield walls that are portable objects you can build to provide cover, and the introduction of special goals beyond just keep taking that will encourage players to want to go into the frontiers and RvR. No specifics were able to be given at this roundtable as to what those new goals might be, but both DJ and James seemed excited about what is coming to the future of RvR.
The final new "big change" for 2007 is a total revamp of the UI. The game's UI was groundbreaking in many ways back when it was first created, but as other games have come out over the years, and players have sent in feedback on what would help them play the game easier, it has become rather outdated. There are also some long standing bugs with the UI that simply couldn't be fixed without completely ripping out the old code and putting in new, which is actually what the developers have been working on. One of these bugs centers around the chat window and interface. Anyone who's played DAoC is familiar with the problem of what happens when you type a very long message and realize that something you said at the start of the line was wrong, or perhaps that you had sent the chat to the wrong "line". The previous dev team had put in code that would allow you to go back and repeat that line, but if you'd typed too long of a message, you couldn't get to the actual start of the line to modify it because somehow what you'd written was just lost. The reason for this is how the code was written and how each character you typed was rendered. A side effect of this is that up to 40% of your framerate lag would come from the chat window alone!! So the old chat system is being thrown out the window and a new one designed. There won't be the split window any longer, and instead you'll have a tab system much like new MMO's. Chat will be able to be filtered by tab, resized and put in the font of your choice, as well as re-colored depending on what the player wants. In addition all the icons for spells, styles, items, tradeskills, you name it, are being redesigned to make more sense and be easier to understand.
They've reskinned the Atlantis UI to have windows and UI elements that will have textures and colors to bring the overall UI up to par with the other graphical changes that have been happening in the game for a while. And probably the biggest change overall for players is that the whole UI will be able to be customized because it is in XML like most other games on the market now have. This will allow for player created mods to the UI in a way that DAoC simply hasn't had in the past and is a huge addition to the game. The developers really seem to have done their research, looking at what UI elements work in current player created mods, and in other games as well. And they were very open to suggestions on what players would put on the "it would be great if" list.
Account services was the second area that they talked about, and again many of these things are ones that the players have been requesting for years. They're working on a system to allow players to split characters off of existing accounts, and when some players mentioned that they would like to merge accounts, it was an item that DJ wrote on the notepad beside the podium he'd been speaking from. They're working on allowing for a gender respec, though race respec is not possible given all the underlying restrictions and changes that would have to happen to a character if their race changed. They're looking at a way to allow for character transfers across servers, though whether that would have the restriction of being within the same ruleset or not was an issue raised and no decision has been finalized. They'll be adding more inventory slots, and more vault slots in the near future as well. And some of the players raised the idea of having new subscription plans made available, including both week long plans and a lifetime subscription.
The last area brought up was the new Camelot Campaigns. The first of these campaigns has already begun: A Dragon's Revenge. The campaigns are story arcs that run across the whole realm, with events and content specific to each realm that will allow players to experience new PvE content and world changing events. A new campaign is planned for every 6 months, and given the depth of changes that has happened for this first one, I can see why they won't happen more frequently than that. We were able to see screenshots of what the dragons have done to each of the three realms cities and towns, and just from a graphics standpoint alone, it is obvious that a lot of work has gone in to the campaign.
Players will have to work together to "fix" what has gone wrong with their realm when the dragon's arrive. In Midgard, the ice dragon freezes everyone in town. Albion's dragon goes more for fire, setting I believe it was Cotswold to flame. And Mag Mell has been turned into a glowing wasteland by the Hibernian dragon, with players who go there also put under the same effect as the town. The campaign includes quests as well as backstory on what has happened, and will be great for players who still enjoy the PvE experience of DAoC.
I know I said it before, but I just have to repeat how excited I am at the changes that are happening at EAMythic. As the night went on, I told some friends who'd brought me to the event that I couldn't help but hear the Disney theme song from Aladdin "A Whole New World" playing in my head, because that's what it seemed that Dark Age of Camelot is. If you've played the game in the past and left for a while, now more than ever seems to be a good time to come back. If you've been playing all along and are watching these changes as they happen, I'm happy for you because I know they are things that most players have been wanting for years. And if you've somehow never tried Dark Age of Camelot over the years, now is a great time to give it a try. I think you'll find that despite the fact that the game recently celebrated its fifth "anniversary" last October, you'll find that it still really is right on target to be competitive with games that are just coming out this year. Dark Age of Camelot has always been one of those games that feel like home to me. And while there have been times that I've tried to go back to that "home town" only to find that the local bakery I used to love has been torn down and replaced with a Starbucks, I'm starting to see that the "Starbucks" of the game are more because of the goals of where a new team of developers are taking the game than just the need to keep adding content in order to keep the town alive. The fundamentals of the game won't ever change, and that's also obvious from listening to this new team of developers speak. But progress is definitely being made, and I couldn't be more excited to see where that progress is going to take the game through the rest of 2007 and into 2008.
The "glory days" of computer gaming for me were when games like Spectre Supreme, Pirate's Gold, the Might and Magic series, the original Prince of Persia… those sorts of games were coming out on a regular basis. Back then I owned a Macintosh and was a die hard Mac fan. I was one of the first in my area to buy an iMac and on it learned the joy of playing games on the internet like daily crossword puzzle and "mind bender" type puzzles. My first online RPG was given to me for Christmas the year EQ was released, and I was hooked from day one. I played EQ for about a year. I started playing DaoC during late alpha testing, and was hooked on it.. well, to be honest I still am. I've tried pretty much every MMORPG I can get my hands on, from big names like EQ, to more obscure ones such as Underlight. I've been writing for IMGS since the first DaoC guide, and find I love the challenge of learning a game and presenting what I've learned (and sometimes my opinions), to other players.
I'm not a very strong player as far as learning PvE or quick reaction times, so I tend to stay away from games where I'm pitted against someone else in a way that requires physical (rather than mental) response. I still enjoy story and puzzle games, and in a way that's how I still approach online games. I would much rather spend hours working through a quest than 5 minutes in combat against another player. I still get lost in simulation type games, obsessing over them until I've gotten them beaten. And I like being able to sit down at the computer when I've got less than half an hour and playing through a few levels of a puzzle game. I tend not to like first-person shooter type games, or anything with person to person violence, so I steer away from them unless they are fantasy based settings. All in all, I enjoy computer gaming so much that my life feels incomplete somehow when my computer is down.

IRVING, Texas (AP) Retail gasoline prices across Texas have jumped 6 cents per gallon this week.
AAA Texas on Thursday reported the average price at the pump statewide reached $3.01 per gallon. Nationwide gasoline prices rose 3 cents, to hit $3.22 per gallon.
The association says gasoline price increases in the Midwest were partly a result of heavy storms and concerns of potential refinery disruptions. AAA says overall impact appears limited.
Amarillo has the cheapest gasoline in Texas at $2.92 per gallon. Drivers in Texarkana and the Austin-San Marcos area are paying the most at $3.04 per gallon.
AAA says Texas is among the top 10 states with the least expensive gasoline a week before Thanksgiving. The group projects about 3.4 million Texans will travel during next week's five-day holiday period.

How to extend the battery life of your HP laptop
It is fair to say that the true portability of a laptop is as good as its battery's charge life. The battery of your laptop usually has a useful life and after a certain period would have to be replaced. There are a few ways you can extend the useful life of your laptop battery.
Laptop batteries usually have about 400 to 500 lifecycles but then there are quite a few ways to increase this number. These ways should be practiced especially by those who have laptops which consume quite a bit of energy like the ones from HP.
- One of the most common things to do would be to defragment your hard drive from time to time. This ensures your hard drive is quick and in turn consumes lesser energy from your laptop battery.
- Battery calibration should be done once in a month. What this basically means it that you should drain out the charge of your laptop. While doing this you should ensure that your laptop doesn't go into deep discharge. While discharging your battery you should allow it to discharge up on to the point when it automatically goes into hibernation mode and not beyond.
- While using the laptop for long hours via plug points it would be great if you could detach your battery. This should be done if possible as the heat your laptop produces affects the battery. You should also store your laptop battery away from heat as it would decrease its life.
- Adding more RAM does improve your battery life as reduces the load on your hard drive which consumes quite a bit of energy. This ensures that your battery consumes less power and in turn has a longer useful life.
- Lastly using power saver modes on your laptop would go a long way in improving its charge life as well as your battery life.
These tips should be followed especially by those of you who happen to have powerful high energy consuming laptops like the HP laptop 7000 series. Extended HP batteries for your laptops are a good idea as they would give you a backup.

There are 21 research papers in the collection, some of which were presented at a special session at the AMS meeting in Baltimore in January 2003. Two of the papers are by Rahman, both co-authored with Gasper. There is also a valuable survey of Rahman's work by the editors and Richard Askey, and some other biographical material. I did not know that Rahman is an award-winning Bengali writer as well, and I think that a translation of one of his shorter essays would have been a nice addition. Rahman started out working in mathematical physics before migrating into special functions, and once he started thinking about q-series he never stopped. He soon became one of the world's foremost experts, a distinction that, thanks to Basic Hypergeometric Series, he will hold in perpetuity.
Thus it is fitting that most of the papers in the collection are on some aspect of q-series. Naturally I have my favorites: I would read George Andrews or Bruce Berndt if they wrote about sheep farming, there are several other authors here whose work I always enjoy, and I am especially glad to have the paper of Michael Schlosser. It would be presumptuous of me to make further judgments about the papers; suffice it to say that many world leaders in special functions have contributed, and the overall quality is very high. Anyone working in q-series should own this collection. It may also be of interest to people in other areas within or related to special functions.
Warren Johnson (firstname.lastname@example.com) is visiting assistant professor of mathematics at Connecticut College. One of his favorite areas of mathematics is special functions.

I think that English is the best language because it doesn't make you sound angry when you speak (Germans) or just sound plain stupid (Spanish) or sound the same with every word you speak (Chinese and Japanese) The only other good language is French, but there aren't enough French speakers to make that the official language. Therefore, English is the best. (Unlike Egyptian or Russian or Chinese or Japanese and all those others)
Nobama. English should be the official language because the founders of the US were English-speaking people. The majority of people here speak English, and only all of our presidents have spoken English and had an American last name. If we do not make English the official language, the US will fall apart and the country I do not like (China) will take over the US.
One language will bring everyone together into one. America is a country that is filled with many people from all over the world. It will be much easier to have just ONE language. Its so confusing and annoying having to press 1 or 2 for English or Spanish when trying to talk to a customer representative. There should only be one option which is English. This way, everyone can understand each other perfectly.
English should be the official language because most of our country speaks English. If we don't speak English as a first language, most of our country will fall apart because many people only speak English. Therefore, English should definitely be the language of The United States of America
Yes, English should be the national language of America. Its so obvious that English is the most used language around the world. Of course, there's Spanish, but in America wherever you go and socialize everyone is speaking English. Its not like saying English should be the native language in Mexico. No, obviously Spanish is since everyone spoke that as their first language. Go America!
If other countries are able to have an official language, then the United States should be no different. Most areas speak primarily only English. If people want to immigrate to the United States, they should know how to speak the language, rather than the US not have an official language.
The U.S. spends billions of dollars making documents into foreign languages. If we made them all in English we would save money and not go into even more debt. Canada has two national languages and spends millions of dollars printing stuff in both languages. If they had one language they would save money, we would save money if we did the same.
Ever since our founding fathers came here, people of this country have spoken in English. All of America'a foundational documents are in English. Also an estimated 1.5 billion people around the world speak English. Most country's are teaching children how to speak English. Also when our ancestors came over to Ellis Island they needed and wanted to find jobs and fit in so they went out and took on the responsibility to learn English.
America was a British colony for many years before Independence. A majority of the population, both when America was a colony and up to today, speak English. "A June 2010 Harris Interactive poll, commissioned by U.S. English, found that 88 percent of respondents believe that English should be declared the official language of the United States. Further support came from 96 percent of Republicans, 83 percent of Democrats, 89 percent of Independents and 83 percent of Hispanics." (http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/education/267601-make-english-our-official-language).
English should be the official language for many reasons. There are many different languages spoken in the US. We cannot cater to all of them. Nobody can learn every language spoken in the US, therefore many immigrants chose to learn English on their arrival to the states anyway. It made life easier for them to learn English, since it is most commonly spoken here. Having English as an official language would provide uniform understanding. We were founded on English and that is how it should remain. We should not cater to other languages. Everyone can learn English and everyone in the United States should learn it.
English is our common language but it is not the only language spoken in the United States. People from other places that didn't know any English wouldn't know what to do in the United states. It would be really difficult for people that doesn't know any English
English is the most common language in the United States. but what about for those who don't know English? You can't force them to learn something they don't even know. And for those who don't know English might make mistakes and really fluent English speakers might make fun of them. That's why I don't think English should be the official language.
Saying yes is being selfish your just thinking about you, what about all the other people who dont speak english they wouldn't be able to read anything so they wouldn't know what they are doing or what they are getting to eat or what they are buying and its just not fair to others so i think all the other people who read this say the same
No English shouldn't be the only language in the United States. There are many other languages spoken like Spanish, French, and German. Many people come from other states and don't know how to speak English because they were never taught it. Some people think that everyone knows English but we have some illegal people or they grew up in another state. Some families may come from other states and come to visit people in the U.S. And don't know English.
English shouldn't be the only language in the United States.
The reasons following that is because many people live here in the United States . People from Cuba, Japan, Europe and all over the world live here. Yes everyone should know English but other languages should be aloud to be spoken here. Spanish is the second language most spoken in the United States , and many people know English as well. But people should be able to speak whatever language they are native too.
People say that English should be the official language of the U.S., but some immigrants may not be able to learn the language fluently and get made fun of for it. People should speak whatever language they want without getting told otherwise. They shouldn't be required to know a certain language by law or force. The United States should not be limited to just one language either.
First off, a lot of people from other countries are immigrating here. On another note, there are whole countries that would have to change their language. Plus, learning a new language is a very tedious process and takes a lot of time and dedication to learn a new one. Some people believe that English should be the official language. I, on the other hand, believe that would change the customs, traditions, and sometimes the whole community of diverse places.
I know many people who speak english as well as many people who dont, and i(in my own opinion of course) believe we should open our use of language in america, you never know it may do us some good. So if my spanish speaking friend decides to go to buy coffee and nobody understands him what is going to happen? Oh I know someone who speaks spanish can help him!
America prides it's self for it's immigrants. How are we supposed to be the great melting pot if we are forcing immigrants to speak a foreign language. Most people don't know the difference between an official language and a main language. English is our main language. It is the language that the Majority of America speaks. By making English our official language, this will cause the American government to force legal immigrants to learn a new language. This takes time out of their day, and could cause them to forget parts of their culture. Language is a huge part of anyone's culture, and now you want to force these innocent immigrants to change languages, just because other countries do, or it could save a few bucks. In conclusion, I believe we shouldn't force immigrants to switch languages
The United States is made up of immigrants, to force them to study to know a different language would be silly. That's like telling a new born to read you a chapter book. With all the different cultures that what makes America, well America. Personally we have traslaters. If government cut off the job of traslaters their job get worse. Leave us be we are fine the way we are. Let us be us because everyone else is already taken. I'm doing this for my argumentative essay in English and I am not for English being the official language and I speak English.

Dean Goodwin finally arrested as armed officers pounce in Poole
Posted: November 28, 2012|
Dean Goodwin was arrested last night as armed police swooped on a busy Poole street.
The 32-year-old, who is wanted in relation to a sexual assault in Poole - was caught by Dorset Police outside the Sainsbury's Local store on Bournemouth Road, Parkstone.
Witnesses saw a number of police cars stop outside the store, blocking the road to traffic. Goodwin was led away by officers at around 6pm yesterday.
Armed police were waiting for Goodwin at a Shell garage across the road, with eye-witnesses claiming the officers apprehended Goodwin before he could get into a car.

Darren Jones, who works along Bournemouth Road said: "It was terrifying to think it all happened so close by.
"The police were restraining him for ages. He tried to drive off in a car - but they stuck him in a straight jacket.
"Some people said they even stuck a bag over his head."
Police had been hunting Goodwin since Friday, and the 32-year-old spent last night being questioned at Bournemouth Police Station.
Detective Superintendent Mark Cooper said: "I'd like to thank the public and media for their help and support through this intensive police operation.
"Our officers and staff have worked tirelessly and I'm pleased we have been able to bring this to a safe conclusion with the arrest tonight of Dean Goodwin."

A micro-benchmark of stored routines in MySQL
Ever wondered how fast stored routines are in MySQL? I just ran a quick micro-benchmark to compare the speed of a stored function against a "roughly equivalent" subquery. The idea — and there may be shortcomings that are poisoning the results here, your comments welcome — is to see how fast the SQL procedure code […]
Optimizing repeated subexpressions in MySQL
How smart is the MySQL optimizer? If it sees an expression repeated many times, does it realize they're all the same and not calculate the result for each of them? I had a specific case where I needed to find out for sure, so I made a little benchmark. The query looks something like this:
How expensive is a WHERE clause in MySQL?
This is a fun question I've been wanting to test for some time. How much overhead does a trivial WHERE clause add to a MySQL query? To find out, I set my InnoDB buffer pool to 256MB and created a table that's large enough to test, but small enough to fit wholly in memory:
Query Profiling with MySQL: Bypassing caches
Quite frequently I run into question like this "I'm using SQL_NO_CACHE but my query is still much faster second time I run it, why is that ? The answer to this question is simple – because SQL_NO_CACHE only bypasses query cache but it has no change on other caches, which are MySQL Caches – Innodb […]
Getting real life query speeds with MySQL
To check for query performance improvements followed indexing/query changes or MySQL configuration changes our customers often decide to run the query and see if there is any significant improvement. Leaving aside question of checking single query alone might not be the best way to see real improvement for your application, the problem they usually run […]
MySQL: Followup on UNION for query optimization, Query profiling
Few days ago I wrote an article about using UNION to implement loose index scan. First I should mention double IN also works same way so you do not have to use the union. So changing query to:
mysql> SELECT sql_no_cache name FROM people WHERE age in(18,19,20) AND zip IN (12345,12346, 12347);
| name |
| ed4481336eb9adca222fd404fa15658e |
| 888ba838661aff00bbbce114a2a22423 |
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> explain SELECT sql_no_cache name FROM people WHERE age in(18,19,20) AND zip IN (12345,12346, 12347);
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
| 1 | SIMPLE | people | range | age | age | 4 | NULL | 9 | Using where |
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
So as you see there are really different types of ranges in MySQL. IN range allows […]
Using UNION to implement loose index scan in MySQL
One little known fact about MySQL Indexing, however very important for successfull MySQL Performance Optimization is understanding when exactly MySQL is going to use index and how it is going to do them. So if you have table people with KEY(age,zip) and you will run query something like SELECT name FROM people WHERE age BETWEEN […]
MySQL Query Cache
MySQL has a great feature called "Query Cache" which is quite helpful for MySQL Performance optimization tasks but there are number of things you need to know. First let me clarify what MySQL Query Cache is – I've seen number of people being confused, thinking MySQL Query Cache is the same as Oracle Query Cache […]

[1]University of Crete, Heraklion, Greece
We present numerical simulations for the propagation of surface plasmon polaritons in a dielectric-metal-dielectric waveguide using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. We show that the use of an active dielectric with gain that compensates metal absorption losses enhances substantially plasmon propagation. Furthermore, the introduction of the active material induces, for a specific gain value, a ...

Jake LaMotta Everlast Boxing Glove - Single
Makes the perfect gift for the sports fan in your life!
Turning pro in the early 1940s LaMotta ran up an impressive undefeated streak before losing.
Jake LaMotta had one of the best chins in boxing history. In over 110 fights against the greatest middleweights in history LaMotta was only knocked to the canvas once in his entire 14-year career. He was the first fighter to defeat the great Sugar Ray Robinson, Robinson was 40-0.
LaMotta claimed to have 'taken a dive' against 'Blackjack' Billy Fox in New York City. Later LaMotta captured the World Middleweight Title from the legendary Frenchman Marcel Cerdan. So fascinating was LaMotta's life and career that director Martin Scorsese made the film classic Raging Bull about him with Robert De Niro delivering an Oscar-winning performance as La Motta. Jake LaMotta has hand signed this Everlast Boxing glove. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.
Dimensions: 10" L x 6" W x 5" H; 2.5 lbs.
