A drop in river flow has prompted city of Las Vegas officials to impose water restrictions.
Stage I water restrictions went into effect on Monday.
A local man remained behind bars on Tuesday for allegedly stealing a chainsaw from a local store, knocking down a rack after being confronted by a store employee, and then attempting to flee from police after he was spotted trying to flee the scene.
The incident unfolded late Saturday afternoon at the Big R store on Mills Avenue.

With a reluctant 7 year old we visited this magnificent church in July 2025. Its red roof and red doors are inviting, and once inside the beautiful wood carving will amaze you. There is also a small museum attached that had an exhibit of crèches that we all really enjoyed. Behind the church is a walk to the river that...
Saint-Jean-Port-Joli is known for its woodcarving. The church has beautiful religious carvings; but, most interesting is the small museum with its collection of creches - and amazingly carvings of a "pregnant" virgin that is displayed during Advent each year leading up to the Birth of Jesus. Amazing!
Saint-jean-port-Joli is such a charming welcoming Town. It is full of artists - sculptures -
Everyone seem to be related....when you Know a CARON - founding family, you are sure to become part of the family.
I am sure the Church has something to do with the JOY we feel in saint-jean-port-joli.
This Church is one of the oldest in the area and should be a must see for anyone visiting St Jean. The highlight is the wood carving by Bourgeault who was the original wood carver of the famous local style of carving.
One of the reviews under "Eglise saint-Jean-Port-Joli" is really about the wood sculpture museum named 'Musee des Anciens Canadiens' at 332 ave de Gaspe Ouest. It is easily the best museum of wood sculpture in an area full of wood working artisans, and probably the best in Quebec, giving a history of the art as well as many examples of...

Eglise de Saint-Jean-Port-Joli can be found in the La Cote-du-Sud portion of the Gaspe Penninsula of Quebec, Canada. The church was built in 1779 and is classified as a National Historic Monument.

Simon Cowell's departure puts 'American Idol' pressure on Ellen
Randy and Kara aren't going to be able to carry the show, so the new judge must step up fast
By my estimation, the most important person to the future of "American Idol" won't be a part of Tuesday (Jan. 12) night's premiere of the talent show other networks refer to as The Death Star.
FOX and Simon Cowell used Monday morning's Television Critics Association press tour panel as the opportunity to make the somewhat shocking (but largely anticipated or previously reported) announcement that the smirky British judge will be departing "American Idol" after this season to concentrate his attentions on the 2011 launch of a domestic version of "X Factor."
In the FOX press conference, Simon Cowell repeated multiple times that "American Idol" is bigger than just one person and certainly those of us who have been talking to Nigel Lythgoe in two or three conference calls per year for the better part of a decade know that the former executive producer has long sworn that the format is the star.
I guess I can't argue with that statement, except that the format has always been deceptively simple in its execution. Pretty young people get on stage and sing. A panel of judge either raves or tears them to pieces, but the final decision is in the hands of the voters. The problem with the latter component is that, for the most part, the voters have followed the judges in lock-step over the years. We remember the Sanjayas and the Kevin Covaises, the dreadful contestants who defied expectations, because they're the exceptions. We've committed names like Jennifer Hudson and Tamyra Gray to memory because "abominations" like that usually occur only once or twice per season, if that.
The disconnect between the judges and the "American Idol" voters is so tiny and insignificant that when "American Idol" broke with precedent last spring and introduced the Judges' Save, it ended up being a minor fiasco. After failing to find fault with the voters for over a month, the judges wasted the Judges' Save to keep blues piano mediocrity Matt Giraud around for an extra two weeks, during which time he did nothing to suggest that any wrong decision had been made.
I can't honestly say if the voters mostly agree with the judges because they're easily swayed by one of the central portions of the format or because the judges have generally been right.
The format is, indeed, the star of the show, but the centerpiece of the format was, for seven seasons, a stable three-person judging panel of Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell. When "American Idol" returns in the spring of 2011, the only remaining judge from that Holy Trinity will be Randy Jackson, which may be a tragedy akin to Ringo Starr someday being the last remaining Beatle.
Randy Jackson is, at best, a complimentary player in a more assertive agenda. He's a follower with only limited willingness to give assertive opinions of his own. Without a stronger personality to emulate and copy, Randy is a repetitive spewer of tired cliches and banalities. The only justification for keeping him around in past seasons involved his acceptable chemistry with Paula and Simon.
For Season Eight, "American Idol" added Kara DioGuardi, who contributed eye candy and occasional bitterness when evaluating other attractive females. Kara's interactions with Bikini Girl were among the season's most memorable, only because of how unbecoming they were for a person in a position of supposed authority.
Neither Randy or Kara is likely or capable of becoming the sort of dominant and polarizing figure that Simon Cowell is and was, the inevitable generator of watercooler comments. For four or five seasons now, I've had a running joke in my "American Idol" recaps, listing the judges by the names of famous trios or quartets, letting only Simon keep his own name. The gag is that the other folks could be a mix-and-match assortment as long as Simon is there.
That's why I began this story the way I did. It's a distinct possibility that Ellen DeGeneres will be this season's most important figure on "American Idol" and she won't make her first real appearance until the Hollywood Round.
It seems like a lot of pressure to put on a newbie, but it's incumbent upon DeGeneres to be both substantive and hilarious. She needs to be everything she's frequently been as an award show host, everything that her daytime supporters feel her to be as a talk show host. She has to be honest and candid and not afraid of hurting the feelings of contestants who don't deserve to be on television. She doesn't have to be Simon, but she has to be talked about.
And that means that the "Idol" producers have to let her talk. They have to know that starting in 2011, somebody will have to pick up the soundbyte time usually given to Simon and that Randy and Kara can't be counted upon. So if that means that sometimes Randy and Kara have to get the "Wrap it up" signal 10 seconds sooner than they might have previously, so be it. Simon has to be allowed to say whatever's on his mind for the sake of the present and Ellen has to be allowed to say whatever's on her mind for the sake of the future.
If Ellen speaks her mind and isn't a softie push-over, I really think "American Idol" will survive Simon Cowell's defection without major attrition. She is, after all, a writer and a fast-on-her-feet comic. She ought to be good. Provide she can be critical and amusing, it hardly matters if she brings any musical credibility to the table. Simon's seat can be filled by a record company insider of some sort and it won't even matter who he is or what he adds other than occasional technical jargon. "Idol" will survive.
If, however, Ellen is all sunshine and lollypops, as some people fear, and she isn't given enough time to be funny and personable, the show might indeed be sunk, because then Simon will leave a three person panel without a strong oppositional voice and without buzz and producers will go out find somebody they think can be another Simon, even though they're all smart enough to know that a Simon Clone isn't Simon.
The "Idol" producers should know that this season is a tryout for next season and if Simon is serious about wanting to leave "Idol" on top, he'll get that and cede some of his time to the newbie. Unfortunately, it's going to be a few weeks before we can see if Ellen DeGeneres is any good at all.
If "Idol" returns big on Tuesday night -- and it always has, even in the years naysayers have predicted epic drops -- FOX will be excited and ready to celebrate another ratings victory. But "Idol" is no longer really about 2010. It's about 2011 and beyond, the years After Simon. FOX won't know if things are OK there until mid-February when the Top 24 begins and we hear how Ellen critiques individual performances.
No pressure, Ellen, but TV's most lucrative franchise may be riding on your shoulders.

4. Link here in description and in plugin page to 'Official plugin page' open only message 'Paid version plugin under construction' and ads other Purchase plugin. It is deception or phishing.
Gave the plugin a try, it's got a great concept however the inability to affect where the icon appears or even to know if your theme is compatible with said icon makes this plugin fall short. Couldn't use it.

EASTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) — An Easthampton middle school student, in a scene straight out of the movie "A Christmas Story" got their tongue stuck to a metal pole.
Fire Chief David Mottor says firefighters responded to White Brook Middle School at about 8 a.m. Wednesday, when temperatures were well below freezing.
Mottor tells The Republican (http://bit.ly/1gqvYNC ) that firefighters poured warm water on the student's tongue, freeing it.
The student was not injured.
The student's age and gender were not released.
In the 1983 movie, a character named Flick gets his tongue stuck to a metal pole after being triple-dog dared to do so.

iPhoto '11 is not a good upgrade. If you already have an earlier version of iPhoto, stay with it until Apple can come out with a version of iPhoto '11 (currently iPhoto 9.1) that fixes the issues. I'm only going to mention what I've hit my head against today. I have written feedback to Apple on each of these along with a half dozen other things.
Features eliminated or changed for the worse:
Copy of Edit>Adjust settings has been eliminated
E-mail restricts photos to 8 predesigned Apple formats and restricts file size selection to 2. Text on formats only 3 lines, 74 characters each. Drag & drop to an e-mail results in full file size. Work around is time consuming.
Description area in photo info is limited to showing 2 lines. Cannot select any other size. To put more into box you must type it on outside resource like Word or Pages, then copy & paste.
Search feature now looks for any word (of a group of words) you type versus looking for EVERY word typed. This dramatically decreases it's helpfulness.
Program does not allow you to view two pictures enlarged side by side to compare!Read more ›
However, if I judge this as an upgrade from iLife '09, it's extremely weak. Here's what you get of any substance: the ability to better edit audio in iMovie, slightly better full screen modes in iPhoto, really impressive time warping facilities in Garage Band to fix timing, and some very nice guitar and piano lessons which actually show you where you making mistakes. All great features, to be sure. But are these worth $50 if you have '09? Probably not.
The frustrating thing is that the most major feature in this upgrade is just plain silly: they added the ability to make cutesy little fake "trailers" in iMovie. This is apparently their big innovation. You can now replace your boring home movies with one of eight or so two minute jokes that I guarantee you will get old very quickly. Very quickly. They also added a fake news program theme, and a fake sports theme. All very gaudy and over-the-top, even for iMovie standards. And not at all useful beyond just playing with them once.
It's pretty clear that Apple's focus has shifted away from Mac OS X and iLife and on to the greener pastures of iOS: the iPad and iPhone. In fact, from now on we'll likely see features come first to their consumer devices, and then later to their desktop computers.Read more ›
Beginning with iMovie 08 Apple dropped the Timeline concept which is used in ALL other video editors (Mac or Windows).
iMovie 11 will give you lower quality DV video than iMovie 06. iMovie 11 processes the DV video differently, it discards every other field from interlaced source material, causing a quality loss. If you want to maintain full quality you need to use iMovie 06 or Final Cut Express.
iMovie 11 is counter-intuitive and difficult to use (and Third party plug-ins are still not supported). iMovie 06 is the best (I was editing movies in 5 minutes and never looked at the manual.) I quickly grasped how iMovie was supposed to work - you have a box that shows a preview of your footage with boxes on the right showing your various clips. You dragged and dropped clips to the Timeline - hi-lighted whichever one you wanted to add an effect to or transition from - you could SIMPLY rearrange clips by dragging and dropping them like icons on your dock, VERY easy.
In iMove 08-11, you have 'Events' and Libraries and mini timelines that resembled sentences with hard returns snaked in a cramped interface. You're supposed to choose segments from your footage by dragging a box around it - all the while almost guessing it's what you wanted to select because there is no larger preview of what you're doing. Then just try and figure out how to split a segment and add any effects (which have been scaled down - or more like dumbed down) while still trying to keep everything flowing correctly in this odd snaked mini footage view. And don't even try and work with the audio.
The good news is that you can have and use iMovie 06 with iLife 11. iMovie 06 and iDVD 11 work together well using Snow Leopard. (you can also use iMovie 06 with iDVD 08/09 with OS 10.5)

BC is 10-2. The Eagles have won seven straight. They won their ACC opener at Maryland. They have wins over Texas A & M (the Aggies' only loss), California, Indiana, Massachusetts and Providence. They have a star guard in Reggie Jackson. And Donahue loves every minute.

Photos: Golota, Saleta Arrive at Airport To Media Frenzy
By Luke Furman
The fans and media were ready and waiting, as four-time heavyweight world title challenger Andrew Golota (41-8-1, 33 KOs), and former European champion Przemyslaw Saleta (43-7, 21 KOs), arrived at the airport. The two boxers will attend a press conference on January 7th at the Marriott Hotel in Warsaw, Poland - where the fighters will announce their showdown on February 23rd at Ergo Arena in Gdansk. The fight is going to be a retirement match for both, and the card will be televised in Poland on "Polsat" via pay-per-view system.
Golota has been inactive since his 5th round TKO loss to Tomasz Adamek in October of 2009. Saleta's last boxing fight took place in February of 2006 when he beat inexperienced American Ed Perry by unanimous decision.
Luke Furman covers boxing for bokser.org.
I thought Golota would be arrested if he returned to Poland, doesn't he have a criminal past in his native country? Anyway good luck.Comment by StrangerInTown on 12-29-2012

Many residents in the Valley Road Mobile Home Park in Lauderdale County have been keeping an extra eye on the property, after several residents had their homes burglarized in recent weeks.
Chief Deputy Ward Calhoun said he hopes residents can relax a bit knowing three suspects charged earlier this week with a commercial burglary,
Charles Brock, Antonio Brown and Dominete Tubbs, have additionally been charged with breaking into residences.
The Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department says investigators are looking into other property crimes to see if the men were involved. They are asking that residents turn in any helpful information.
Officials say these cases have been difficult to make because the suspects live at the mobile home park.
Calhoun said one way to protect your items in the case of theft is to keep the serial numbers to your more expensive items on hand.

Empty string[edit]
re "The empty string after the final dot is called the root domain, and all other domains (i.e. .com, .org, .net, .uk, etc.) are contained within the root domain." I'm confused here: .com or .org are contained within an empty string ? Jerome Potts 04:15, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
Reply to above and rebuttal:
Rootaccess -- few issues to be determined and understood for general user purpose.
1) who has the authroity to determine who gets the top level global domain access -- is it money or influence? 2) who determines the global maximum limit at top level domain and why is there a limit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vdhananjay (talk • contribs) 14:57, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
An example: www.google.com.
1. The dot between google and com is actually the root domain itself. This dot points the server to a top level domain (ie. com, .org etc...). 2. The word "google" is the Sub-domain
And so forth. Also this.
- All fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) on the Internet can be regarded as ending with this empty string for the root domain, and therefore ending in a full stop character (the label delimiter), e.g., www.example.com..
This is all bullshit. Citation needed or else remove that utter crap. Who do you think you are? Resolution doesn't go directly to a root-server anyway.
Level 3[edit]
Why isnt Level3 Communications mentioned here? Don't they currently operate a few rootservers? - Scott110
I looked up "level 3 Communications". on this website. You will find out some information there.
-Tate Martinez
Level(3) does not operate a root server. The list represented on the page is accurate. See http://www.root-servers.org to confirm for yourself. The list of operators is up to date.
--Hannigan 17:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Expand please[edit]
Please expand this article, this is a pretty fundamental Internet topic. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MMuzammils (talk • contribs) 13:27, 13 February 2007 (UTC).
Feel free to edit at any time. I also left you a comment on your talk page regarding the banner placement related to cites and references. I think that the article is doing this properly, and in the case of some of the edits, you have subject matter experts making these edits and it is not within community standards to cite yourself.
How are Root Nameservers Updated[edit]
What is the process by which the root name servers are updated? Are they updated by domain registrars? Or is this a function of an authoritative DNS server to update the root server? This is not clear and should be clarified within this article.
I guess the whole "this is not a discussion forum" for the article doesn't apply to some peoples discussions of how to improve articles:) Woods01 (talk) 12:04, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
- The root servers publish the ICANN root zone. So ICANN updates the root zone, and then publishes that to the root server operators by some private mechanism, which is not shared with the public. The root server operator then deploys that data on their servers, each in their own way. Looking at the article now, it doesn't seem like we really talk about data distribution, or where the root zone file originates. As mentioned the distribution mechanism is not well established, from what I know, but the idea that it originates from ICANN is quite clear. This should be talked about in the root zone file section, i think. —fudoreaper (talk) 03:55, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
Attempt at reference fix[edit]
External links contain almost all of the required references so I moved them to references. I will add pointers as time permits to improve readability. Suggestion on formatting welcome.
—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hannigan (talk • contribs) 19:15, 20 February 2007 (UTC). --Hannigan 17:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
internet backbone[edit]
"As the root nameservers function as the Internet backbone, ..."
text like this leads to the widespread misconception that all Internet traffic passes through the DNS root name servers. I suggest saying something like
"As the root name servers perform a highly visible function, ..."
Dkarrenberg 12:13, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Regarding that attacks on the root servers are called "DNS Backbone DDoS Attacks", I think it is best described as:
"As the root nameservers function as the DNS backbone, ..."
Mgoerner 22:13, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Aren't the IP-adresses of the rootservers pretty much hardcoded (e.g. a DNS has their IP-Adresses written directly into their lookup table)? If so, this unchanging information might be interesting to add to the server table - no? Peter S. 19:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know when, but your idea was incorporated, we have the IP addresses of the root servers in the table now. You are right that changes to these addresses are infrequent, so it should be easy to maintain. —fudoreaper (talk) 03:57, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
Hypothetical Situation[edit]
This is pretty badly written (it took me a while to figure out what situation it was talking about - since it is its own section, it shouldn't start on a pronoun), and is clearly undocumented. I think that some mention of this 2%/hour failure estimation might be worthwhile, but it needs a reference, shouldn't be in a separate section, and should be cleaned up. If nobody can produce a reference for it soon, I'm in favor of taking it out. 188.8.131.52 12:37, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Agreed. This is pretty badly written. There is no hypothesis! I presume that this refers to the simultaneous failure of all root servers? Maybe we can just add a sentence to that effect? --WibblyLeMoende 14:24, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Incorrect Statement[edit]
"For example, queries with the source address 0.0.0.0 (corresponding to anywhere and everywhere) make it to the root servers."
Hmm. As a root operator for almost 10 years now, and probably more obsessive about root server traffic than just about anybody else I know, I can't say that this is actually true. And that wasn't mentioned in RFC 4697 (which I co-authored)
This sentence is not totally without hope, there are a couple of changes to the above statement which could make it true.
Queries for reverse DNS lookups that are not correctly parsed end up hitting the majority of the root servers (i.e. 18.104.22.168.in-addr.arpa wasn't looked up, instead, the query for "22.214.171.124" was looked up instead. ) We did mention that in RFC 4697 (See section 2.9)
We get a lot of RFC 1918 sourced traffic at the root servers that is dropped.
(Just to be sure I ran a tcpdump on a.root-servers.net since I started writing this post and I haven't seen any queries with a source address of 0.0.0.0)
I didn't make any changes to the page because I'm too shy. And it would look too much like original research. But mostly the shy part.
--Pietbarber (talk) 22:37, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- Please be WP:Bold and fix things. I have rewritten that particular section and added a citation to an older article that I knew of. I couldn't find anything about source IP addresses of 0.0.0.0 so I deleted that part. I have not had a chance to do more than skim your RFC, but it looks useful. The Measurement Factory article didn't give solutions to the problems the found. Wrs1864 (talk) 12:13, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
US Centric?[edit]
The list of the thirteen rootservers seems to be heavily US-centric. Is this actually the case?LorenzoB (talk) 15:47, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, that's the way it is, because the Internet was still largely a US thing at the time the DNS was introduced. But many of the root nameservers now consist of multiple machines distributed around the world, so it's not as US-centric as it once was. --Zundark (talk) 17:20, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- Just to add a bit of subtlety: the root server operators are mostly from the US, but the servers themselves are now spread out globally, thanks to anycast, and responsible operators. Additionally, note that the US root server operators are a diverse group: the US military, US space agency, a domain registration company, an ISP, two universities, and a non-profit. They must all collaborate for the system to work, and their diverse interests is one reason for the stability of the root server system, for that is one of their common goals. —fudoreaper (2009-09-08T23:27:58)
According to the article the US Government department of commerce has to approve anything that's done that would affect operation of the root-server system. This is the first i've heard of this but if it's correct that would make it US centric regardless of where the servers are. Woods01 (talk) 12:07, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Picture of K root server[edit]
The picture in this article claims to be of the K-Root server at AMS-IX, but upon looking closer, it's just a Cisco router and a switch. I think the picture depicts the router for the K-Root server but not the K-Root server itself? U-238 (talk) 13:23, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Name server software[edit]
In the chart of nameservers, we list the software for each of the servers. Is there a reference for this? There is nothing cited on the page currently, but does someone know of a good source?
Using the unix command "dig CH TXT version.bind. @a.root-servers.net" queries the server directly for their version number, here are the results:
- a.root-servers.net: "This space intentionally left blank"
- b.root-servers.net: "9.3.2"
- c.root-servers.net: "9.4.3-P3"
- d.root-servers.net: "9.6.1-P1"
- e.root-servers.net: "9.2.3"
- f.root-servers.net: "9.5.1-P3"
- g.root-servers.net: ""
- h.root-servers.net: "NSD 3.2.3"
- i.root-servers.net: "contact firstname.lastname@example.com"
- j.root-servers.net: "VGRS4"
- k.root-servers.net: "NSD 2.3.7"
- l.root-servers.net: "NSD 3.2.2"
- m.root-servers.net: "9.4.3-P3"
From this, A, G and I do not tell us anything, and J says 'VGRS4'. It is quite possible that verisign operates their own, custom DNS software, which is what this suggests.
B, C. D, E, F, and M all appear to be running BIND, those versions are recognizable as such. However, i cannot rely on the information provided, as it is easy to set this to an arbitrary value, which does not match the actual software version.
Overall, then, I am concerned about the factual accuracy of the software column in the server list table. Can anyone add more information? —fudoreaper (talk) 05:22, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
- Replying to myself: k.root-servers.org says that they run NSD, and so does l.root-servers.net. ISC says they are running BIND9, which is logical since the ISC writes BIND. I will add these refs to the chart. —fudoreaper (talk) 05:47, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
- Has m switched to NSD as well ? From AS 3215, I get the following results. Note also B.
- a.root-servers.net: "This space intentionally left blank"
- b.root-servers.net: "4.8.1"
- c.root-servers.net: "9.6.2-P2"
- d.root-servers.net: "9.6.1-P1"
- e.root-servers.net: "9.6.1-P3"
- f.root-servers.net: "9.6.2"
- g.root-servers.net: ""
- h.root-servers.net: "NSD 3.2.5"
- i.root-servers.net: "contact email@example.com"
- j.root-servers.net: "This space intentionally left blank"
- k.root-servers.net: "NSD 3.2.4"
- l.root-servers.net: "NSD 3.2.4"
- m.root-servers.net: "NSD 3.2.4"
- Mro (talk) 06:09, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
- Has m switched to NSD as well ? From AS 3215, I get the following results. Note also B.
Dnsstuff link/promotion[edit]
Can the usefulness of the dnsstuff nameserver response times be weighed since dnsstuff does not provide any information as to how it gathers such times nor how often the times are actually updated. Woods01 (talk) 12:04, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
.Com (or .edu, .org, .gov, etc.) being the root domain is incorrect[edit]
I am currently taking a class called "Intro to Networking" which is said to prepare me for the CompTIA Network+ Exam. According to my study materials (more specifically, TestOut LabSim version 3.1.57 with add-on "Network+ N10-004"): "
- When you use the host name of a computer (for example if you type a URL such as www.mydomain.com), your computer uses the following process to find the IP address.
- 1. The host looks in its local cache to see if it has recently resolved the host name.
- 2. If the information is not in the cache, it checks the Hosts file. The Hosts file is a static text file that contains hostname-to-IP address mappings.
- 3. If the IP address is not found, the host contacts its preferred DNS server. If the preferred DNS server can't be contacted, it continues contacting additional DNS servers until one responds.
- 4. The host sends the name information to the DNS server. The DNS server then checks its cache and Hosts file. If the information is not found, the DNS server checks any zone files that it holds for the requested name.
- 5. If the DNS server can't find the name in its zones, it forwards the request to a root zone name server. This server returns the IP address of a DNS server that has information for the corresponding top-level domain (such as .com).
- 6. The first DNS server then requests the information from the top-level domain server. This server returns the address of a DNS server with the information for the next highest domain. This process continues until a DNS server is contacted that holds the necessary information.
- 7. The DNS server places the information in its cache and returns the IP address to the client host. The client host also places the information in its cache and uses the IP address to contact the desired destination device. " (End of quote)
So, you see the computer host doesn't actually check the root server first for the information needed to resolve an address even though the root server is first in line in the web address. The root server is actually the omitted dot or period at the end of a web address. For example, according to my study materials, the technical full name of a given web address is "www.mydomain.com." (without the quotes)(notice the period at the end of the web address, that is the root server(how it differs from a root server website, like the ones mentioned, I can't really figure out)and the even more full technical name of that given web address is "http://www.mydomain.com." (without the quotes)(notice again the period after the ".com", that being again the root server) if that particular web site/address uses the HTTP protocol. Do you understand? Please tell if you don't understand and/or what you need clarification on, if any.
So you take an INTRO class at the community college and come here to teach all about networking. Come back in a few years kid when you get some classes above the beginner level and a few years of experience working in the real world. ~~ThanksKid — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 07:21, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
Potter76 (talk) 22:02, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Potter76. Your explanation of DNS resolution is basically correct, though there's a few details I would nitpick. You seem to be objecting to some content in the article that says ".com is a part of the root zone". I'm not sure what text on the article is incorrect, can you point it out clearly, if it still exists? Also, com. is in the root zone, as are all the other top-level domains. So you may be objecting to something that's actually correct. Hopefully you notice this talk page and can respond. Cheers —fudoreaper (talk) 04:10, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
Misleading coverage of canonical root server names[edit]
the article as it is written now misleaded me to do this false edit.. maybe it should be worth mentioning what root-servers.org is and who maintains this website 220.127.116.11 (talk) 06:56, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hi. Yes, that edit wasn't correct. We do link to www.root-servers.org in the external links section, but I'm not sure how much we have to say about that site in the article. The site is very simple, I doubt there's a lot of information out there about it. What should we write about it, do you think? —fudoreaper (talk) 16:42, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
- Most importantly whether root-servers.org has any official relation to ICANN or IANA, or not. In the latter case you're right, it isn't worth mentioning.
- I was confused because the article has serveral links to this page (not only in the external links section, but also in the leftmost column of that table) leaving the impression that this page (root-servers.org) serves some official function (e.g. like the "official homepage" of the root servers, if such can exist). --184.108.40.206 (talk) 13:17, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
- The officialness of root-servers.org is hard to determine. It seems to be run by the root-servers operators association, but that's a fairly loose organization, i think. Nothing really official about it. So I'm not sure the answer to your question. —fudoreaper (talk) 19:54, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Difference between reported number of TLDs[edit]
As of now there are 1038 TLDs listed in http://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt and 1058 listed in http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db I'm going with the one listing more. On a quick comparison the difference is BL, BQ, EH, LIXIL, MF, SS, TP, UM, and the rest are XN--*. M.ollivander (talk) 14:25, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
In List of Internet top-level domains this URL is referenced for the number of TLDs: http://stats.research.icann.org/dns/tld_report which is reporting 1034. Now I'm confused M.ollivander (talk) 15:09, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
I don't know how to find this number. I kept the one from 2004 in my recent edit. If you know how to find this please feel free to edit the article M.ollivander (talk) 14:27, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Then, they said I'd be in their sweepstakes even if I said no, trying to make the claim that Visa set me up. They didn't ask for my card number, but I have a sneaking suspicion someone already sold it to them.
I told them I wanted to know how soon I could cancel all involvement, and that I wanted nothing from them. Alas, they wouldn't give me the option to say no.

If they took even one penny from me, then I want those animals caught.

Pastoralist livelihoods and wildlife revenues in East Africa: a case for coexistence?
Published on: 28 September 2012
Aims and scope
Pastoralism: Research, Policy and Practice investigates extensive livestock production systems throughout the world from a variety of disciplinary perspectives across the biophysical, social and economic sciences. The journal publishes research, reviews, reports and commentaries that influence public policy on the rangelands and livestock on which pastoralists rely for their livelihoods. These studies are not applied in the traditional sense, but through publishing basic research in this field Pastoralism acts as a forum for sharing information between scientists, policy makers and practitioners, with the aim of improving the welfare of pastoralists and better conserving the environments in which they live and the livestock upon which they rely.
The journal was founded in 2009 by Roy Behnke and Carol Kerven, social anthropologists who have each worked for forty years in pastoral and rangeland research and development in many countries. Carol is the Editor-in-Chief and Roy is the Book Review editor.
Article publishing charges, waivers and sponsorships
Open access publishing is not without costs. Pastoralism therefore levies an article-processing charge (APC) of £865/$1355/€1105 for each article accepted for publication. Pastoralism can waive the APC for a number of articles at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief. More information about APCs, memberships and waiver programs can be found here.
Editor's quote
Raising domesticated livestock on extensive pastures is one of the oldest human adaptations as a system of provisioning and land use. More than 40% of the earth's land area is still used as grazing land, by peoples from the tropics to the sub-Arctic, and include ranchers, nomads and farmers. The Pastoralism Journal is the only platform focused on the extensive land use of livestock-dependent production systems, covering biophysical, policy, social, economic, technical and cultural issues.
Policies and development programmes for pastoralists and their environments need to be founded on up-to-date, factual and objective information about what is happening, why and where it is happening and on the impacts. While many development agencies publish summaries and syntheses of primary material, the Pastoralism Journal provides open access to primary material upon which syntheses can be reliably based.
All the journal's papers are free to anyone with internet access anywhere in the world, and the authorship of the journal is highly international, with 120 first authors spread across the world, affiliated to institutions in 38 different countries ranging from Argentina to Yemen.

We are pleased to announce that our project head, Lindy Stiebel, and her co-editor, Michael Chapman, will be appearing at the Hilton Arts Festival to discuss their new book, Writing Home: Lewis Nkosi on South African Writing.
Date: 17 September 2016
Time: 13:30
Duration: 60 mins
Age Restriction: 15 years + Depending on availability - CASH ONLY tickets can be purchased at the venue door from 30 minutes before each performance.
Company: Adele Branch
Lecture Details:
Nkosi's insights into SA literature, culture and society first appeared in the 1950s, when the 'new' urban African in Sophiatown and on Drum magazine mockingly opposed Verwoerd's Bantu retribalisation policies. Having lived for 40 years in exile, he returned to South Africa, intermittently, after the unbannings of 1990. His critical eye, however, never left home. Writing home with wit, irony and moral toughness Nkosi assesses a range of leading writers, including Herman Charles Bosman, Breyten Breytenbach, J.M. Coetzee, Athol Fugard, Nadine Gordimer, Bessie Head, Alex La Guma, Bloke Modisane, Es'kia Mphahlele, Nat Nakasa, Njabulo S. Ndebele, Alan Paton and Can Themba. Lindy Stiebel and Michael Chapman will introduce the writer and his work.
Nick Mulgrew (1990 - ) was born in Durban to British parents. He attended school at Crawford College North Coast and continued his education at Rhodes University where he obtained a BA in English and Journalism & Media Studies. He later completed his BA Honours in Media Theory & Practice at the University of Cape Town. Mulgrew is currently completing an MA in English Language & Literature.
Mulgrew has worked as a journalist, print designer, typesetter, and critic. However, his work in creative fiction as a publisher and writer has been his primary focus. Mulgrew is the founding associate editor of Prufrock magazine, the Deputy Chair of Short Story Day Africa and the publisher of uHlanga, a poetry press.
In terms of his literary output Mulgrew is the author of two books; a collection of poetry called "the myth of this is that we're all in this together" and a collection of short stories entitled "Stations". He also co-edited Water: New Short Fiction from Africa, a collection with Karina Szczurek, which was released in 2015.
His works have received a positive reception. Matt Birkinshaw described Water as "an arresting and memorable collection of innovative short fiction from Africa with [an] eye towards social issues". Karin Schimke expressed a similar sentiment in her Financial Mail review. She highlighted the efforts of the editors "for providing not only a platform for African voices, but a deeply satisfying reading experience". Karina Szczurek praised Mulgrew for his work in Stations, describing him as possessing "acuity and a perfectly pitched voice". In her review of Stations, Diane Awerbuck appreciated the way the stories are "so affecting because they are high-concept, but their prose also delivers various bangs for your buck".
Short stories from Stations have also garnered Mulgrew several accolades since its release. "Posman" was shortlisted for the 2015 White Review Prize. "Turning" was the winner of the 2014 National Arts Festival Short Sharp Stories Award while "Ponta do Ouro" was longlisted for the Twenty in 20 Project. Amongst his other achievements, Mulgrew was awarded a Silver BASA Journalism Award (2015) and selected as a judge for the PEN SA Student Writing Prize (2016).
Mulgrew currently lives in Cape Town. He is working on his first novel.

On 3 March KZN Literary Tourism embarked on a diversity campaign in order to create better representation of minority writers within the archive. Launched during the Time of the Writer festival, the campaign was influenced by the dialogue on the decolonising of literature and the inclusion of marginalised voices that emanated from the festival.
The project is proud of the attention our efforts have raised. Authors like Pamela Power (Ms Conception) have thrown their support behind our initiative. The campaign has also drawn the attention of several news outlets. We were featured on the websites of Pen South Africa (link), The Luvvie (link) and artSMart (link). The project appeared in the Daily News on 14 March (pictured). Additionally, KZN Literary Tourism's project head, Lindy Stiebel, appeared on the SAFM's Literature Show where she discussed the project and the aims of our campaign with Nancy Richards.

About Me
I am an experienced photographer who is looking for new opportunities. I enjoy location shooting especially using a natural setting to highlight the beauty of a model. Maine weather does not always allow this to happen and I am also comfortable using a studio or indoor setting.
I am capable of shooting casual to glamour and have worked with alternative glamour a bit also. I enjoy collaborating with a model and feel that the best results are achieved by sharing creative energy and ideas.

Climategate: the trashy Australian data
Andrew Bolt
–, Wednesday, November, 25, 2009, (4:18pm)
A question: what does this say about the data used by the CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology about their own predictions of warming catastrophe?
In addition to (the leaked CRU) e-mail messages, the roughly 3,600 leaked documents posted on sites including Wikileaks.org and EastAngliaEmails.com include computer code and a description of how an unfortunate programmer named "Harry"—possibly the CRU's Ian "Harry" Harris—was tasked with resuscitating and updating a key temperature database that proved to be problematic. Some excerpts from what appear to be his notes, emphasis added:
In addition to (the leaked CRU) e-mail messages, the roughly 3,600 leaked documents posted on sites including Wikileaks.org and EastAngliaEmails.com include computer code and a description of how an unfortunate programmer named "Harry"—possibly the CRU's Ian "Harry" Harris—was tasked with resuscitating and updating a key temperature database that proved to be problematic. Some excerpts from what appear to be his notes, emphasis added:
I am seriously worried that our flagship gridded data product is produced by Delaunay triangulation - apparently linear as well. As far as I can see, this renders the station counts totally meaningless. It also means that we cannot say exactly how the gridded data is arrived at from a statistical perspective - since we're using an off-the-shelf product that isn't documented sufficiently to say that. Why this wasn't coded up in Fortran I don't know - time pressures perhaps? Was too much effort expended on homogenisation, that there wasn't enough time to write a gridding procedure? Of course, it's too late for me to fix it too. Meh.
I am very sorry to report that the rest of the databases seem to be in nearly as poor a state as Australia was. There are hundreds if not thousands of pairs of dummy stations, one with no WMO and one with, usually overlapping and with the same station name and very similar coordinates. I know it could be old and new stations, but why such large overlaps if that's the case? Aarrggghhh! There truly is no end in sight… So, we can have a proper result, but only by including a load of garbage!
Some background, from a National Technical University of Athens study of how regional models - including the CSIRO's - fared in "predicting" the past 18 years of temperature and rainfall:
Geographically distributed predictions of future climate, obtained through climate models, are widely used in hydrology and many other disciplines, typically without assessing their reliability. Here we compare the output of various models to temperature and precipitation observations from eight stations with long (over 100 years) records from around the globe. The results show that models perform poorly, even at a climatic (30-year) scale. Thus local model projections cannot be credible, whereas a common argument that models can perform better at larger spatial scales is unsupported.
That's confirmed by ecological niche modeller Dr David Stockwell, who checked the modelling behind a technical report put together by the CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology that predicted worse droughts thanks to global warming. Stockwell also found the climate models couldn't even predict the past climate, let alone the future:
In a statistical re-analysis of the data from the Drought Exceptional Circumstances Report, all climate models failed standard internal validation tests for regional droughted area in Australia over the last century. The most worrying failure was that simulations showed increases in droughted area over the last century in all regions, while the observed trends in drought decreased in five of the seven regions identified in the CSIRO/Bureau of Meteorology report. Therefore there is no credible basis for the claims of increasing frequency of Exceptional Circumstances declarations made in the report. These results are consistent with other studies finding lack of adequate validation in global warming effects modeling, and lack of skill of climate models at the regional scale.
And on further checking, Stockwell found the CSIRO's models could not even predict the past (wetter) weather:
It looks to me that in the last 50 years of observations (1950-2007) in almost all regions, observations of drought are decreasing (red), while the models of drought are increasing (black).
Surely reader Steve heard wrong. Surely this is Jon Faine's little joke:
This morning at around 9.15 John Faine (on Melbourne ABC radio) stated that he would not be discussing or reporting the emails and data taken from CRU or even discussing its implications as he considers it irrelevant and insignificant. He stated that he made the decision that is unnewsworthy and will be discussed on his program going forward. Censorship anyone? Or are ABC listeners to be treated like mushrooms?
George Monbiot is a journalist even greener than Faine:
Mr Monbiot, who writes on green issues, said the emails could scarcely be more damaging.
Bon Ward would know more about the issue than Faine:
Bob Ward, a climate expert at the London School of Economics and Political Science, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1230635/Scientist-climate-change-cover-storm-told-quit.html#ixzz0XpqqTHO1" title="demanded an independent inquiry">demanded an independent inquiry.
So would Hans von Storch, a climatologist and former editor Climate Research:
But Dr. von Storch, now at the University of Hamburg's Meteorological Institute, said Monday that the behavior outlined in the hacked emails went too far… East Anglia researchers "violated a fundamental principle of science," he said, by refusing to share data with other researchers. "They built a group to do gatekeeping, which is also totally unacceptable," he added.
Nigel Lawson participated in a far bigger inquiry into global warming science than has Faine:
Lord Lawson, the former chancellor, has called for an independent inquiry into claims that leading climate change scientists manipulated data to strengthen the case for man-made global warming.
Remember this email from Phil Jones, head of the Climatic Research Unit, gloating over the death of gifted Tasmanian sceptic John Daly?
From: Phil Jones
Subject: John L. Daly dead,,,
Daly's widow replies:
It's such a cowardly thing to do… John never ever did anything like that - he stuck to the scientific things, he stuck to the debate.
If (Jones) says such things about John then obviously he had a fear of John - he thought he didn't have enough scientific knowledge to challenge it so he had to do something as nasty as that.
