Grand Theft Auto 5 Release Date - 2011, Says Analyst
With key Rockstar employees' contracts expiring in 2012, a GTA5 release this year makes sense.
This April will mark three years since the last numbered release in the Grand Theft Auto series. That's an unusually long time for the franchise, but Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter believes the wait for the next GTA game is almost over -- according to him, there's a very good chance we'll see it this year.
During a presentation of its third quarter fiscal results yesterday, Take-Two declined to offer up any release window for the inevitable follow-up to Grand Theft Auto IV. However, Pachter speculates that a release sometime prior to January 2012 makes a lot of sense. Why January? That's when the contracts for several key individuals at Rockstar expire -- namely, the Houser brothers Sam and Dan, as well as Leslie Benzies. The Housers have been an intricate part of the GTA series for years and the duo was even named to the 2009 Time 100 list.
"It seems rational to us that Take-Two management would have entered into the three-year contract only if there was some required delivery of GTA," Pachter suggested. "Equally, it makes sense that the three key employees would be motivated to deliver a GTA title before the expiration of their contract, in order to gain negotiating leverage for the next contract."
Following the release of Grand Theft Auto III in 2001, Vice City was out in 2002, followed two years later by San Andreas in 2004. There were also the two spin-offs for the PSP, Liberty City Stories (2005) and Vice City Stories (2006) which eventually came to PS2. Compare that with the last several years of GTA releases and you'll see a noticeable difference -- Grand Theft Auto IV was out in 2008, and since then we've only seen its two expansion packs and the handheld Chinatown Wars.
It would be commendable if Rockstar and Take-Two were simply attempting to avoid running the franchise into the ground (it'd be pretty smart, too, in light of what's reportedly happened to Guitar Hero). Or maybe Rockstar has been working on a fully-fledged sequel -- GTA 5 -- as opposed to the vice City/San Andreas-style sequel.
Pachter also stated that the lack of any real news on the Rockstar-published Max Payne 3 during Take-Two's financial report means the game is on the "back burner," thereby freeing up development resources to finish GTA5. If the next GTA really is going to be coming before those contracts expire in January 2012, it shouldn't be long before we hear about it -- perhaps even at this year's E3 in June.

Just a comment...!Posted: Mar 03, 2011 12:00AM PST by Chewbaka_Senior
I'm a Sandbox genre fan. I liked GTAIV and I considered it had several upgrades over past GTA titles but if R* where to develop another GTA I would suggest several things:
Bring back the RPG elements they incorporated in San Andreas.
Bring back characters and cars customization (Why do you want 800,000$ if you don't have where to spend it?)
Bring back owning houses and businesses (same argument as before)
Bring back characters or incorporate stories from previous tittles.

with LA noire which looking sweet n GTA it gonna be on the up n up for ROckstar games and well cant wait till both hit shelves
Really?Posted: Feb 11, 2011 12:00AM PST by carlosthedon
But they got L.A. Noire, I dont think the Rockstar team is that big to do 2 games at once, not to mention keeping it this low key
Well...Posted: Feb 15, 2011 12:00AM PST by Jacen_Niwa_13
I believe that Rockstar is just publishing L.A. Noire, which is being developed by Team Bondi. I don't think Rockstar is actually working on the game. I'm sure they are helping out but primary development work is being done by Bondi. If I followed everything right.

*hits 'post,' completely realizing that the more replies a story gets, the more likely there will be more pachter ridiculousness listed as news in the future.

Next September will mark four years since the last numbered release in the Halo series. That's an unusually long time for the franchise, but Blogger Dominick Johnson believes the wait for the next Halo game is almost over -- according to him, there's a very good chance we'll see it next year.
Where's San Andresas Stories?Posted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by Mr.LametoWatch
Was that game released? The PS2 and PSP needs one more GTA game. Say, are we ever going to get a GTA: Future? I've love to see GTA's Liberty City in the year 2150 or so with hover cars and the ability to sell illegal car parts to people. Like weapons on cars, parts that make your car fly at 300 MPH, etc. etc. etc.
OMG!!!Posted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by bambamthepyro
I totally thought the same thing.
HelloPosted: Mar 06, 2011 12:00AM PST by babylon_warrior
A GTA in a future setting would be infinitely awesome. Perhaps rename it "Grand Theft Space Ship"? lol. The PS2 is dead though, upgrade to a PS3 or XBOX 360
Wouldn't that be cool!Posted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by steelerzfan101
I would be all up for getting a new Grand Theft Auto this year. I for some reason think that it won't happen though..
Me tooPosted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by Halo4@e32011XBOX720
Would be epic though.
I don't know if I want more Red DeadPosted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by Sephiroth001
That's one tough act to follow, and considering how the game ended, they'd need a new main character and a new time period and I don't think it'd be quite as good. I'd be interested in them taking the GTA series back to Vice City with an HD engine.
Red Dead RevolverPosted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by bambamthepyro
was set a little earlier. I think 1880's.and had a different main character. So it is possible.
Red DeadPosted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by D_Diabolik
kinda took its place last year. I don't see why they would need a GTA this year.
Personally...Posted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by bambamthepyro
I'd like to see more from the "Red Dead" series.
Upcoming Next Gen Gaming SystemPosted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by JABLU
In my mind I believe the only way we will see a new version of GTA is to up the ante up with a next gen console like there's been rumors about the PLAYSTAION 4. Maybe it could be the feature for that kind of technology and mechanics. Or even a more newer xbox call it the XBOX CUBED. Because we all know that cubed means 3. But that my belief weather it's good or not it's bound to happend sometime now in this year or in 2012. And to hope that the next version should be based about in the distant future where cars are flying, the girls are halograms computers, and the police cops are more sinister and deadlier. But it should be based in the biggest state where we have today (NO NAME) and that to conclude the game it ends by making that place go up in history. Literally
MaybePosted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by Halo4@e32011XBOX720
If 3ds/ngp/kinect are any hint we will see new hardware next e3.
hmmmmmmmmmmmPosted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by DARKUUB
im not sure we will see any new home consols unless its one from nintendo but a gta this year would make sense if those contracts go out next year a killer app gta would bank enough money to renew their contracts but it may just be wishful thinking because that killer app maybe be LA noir. SN: if it is a new gta it should be san adreas, vice city, or a whole new place in general and still release HD versions of them both....... I can only hope and dream
Title too short.Posted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by Cal_Wright
Just because it's been a few years doesn't mean it's coming. Did those guys happen to help with Red Dead, or even LA? If we're getting a GTA V, then I would wager we'd hear about it at an E3 prior to it's release year.
That series isn't like butter, you're not just going to churn one out in a few years. If it's a full fledged title the improvements would be incredibly substantial and would take some serious time to work on.
I miss...Posted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by GunBullet
... CJ saying "what the fuck?!" when I jumped off a cliff. Why did I sell my PS2?!
I agree with what others are saying, the marketing would be ratcheting up already if GTA V was coming this year. An epic title like that would deserve all the hype it puts out. Rockstar has proven that they can deliver what they promise.
Never understood the complaints about the shooting mechanics in GTA IV. The recoil was good, there was a cover system, scoped weapons zoomed, you could turn off the auto-aim, the guns reacted accordingly; the only thing I would complain about is the range of the bullets on the assault rifles and light machine guns.
Oh yeah, I sold my PS2 for beer money...

Analysts don't know SHIT.
Isn't the game R*'s putting all their resources into for 2011Posted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by rocketsfan77
Just because we haven't got a GTA in 3 years doesn't mean they haven't been busy. Last year, they knocked it out of the park with Red Dead Remption and one of the best stories out of R* ever. This year, we're getting what looks to be another home run with L.A. Noire. And, honestly, GTAIV was dull. There, I said it. Dee you ell ell DULL. Many gamers didn't even finish it, and I myself gave up on it because I got sick of the stupid "take your friends out on dates" concept. Vice City was the best GTA they did, with San Andreas a close second. But I think R* is proving they do their best work outside of the GTA series, and I'm okay with not having another GTA anytime soon. Give me another Bully. Stop teasing me and finish Max Payne 3. Or get to work on Red Dead Revenge (or whatever you want to call it). Leave GTA be for now, and come back to it when you truly have a fresh spin on it, and not another series clone with a new gimmick GTA as the last few iterations have been (leave that kind of hackneyed development to the Madden team).
Besides, don't we all know by now that Pachter's like a weatherman, throwing guesses out there and seeing what happens? Never understood why so much credit is given to the words of a blowhard who seems to know about as much about the gaming industry as David O. Russell knows about the Uncharted franchise (i.e. NOTHING).
No.Posted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by turkish101
Rockstar is just publishing LA Noire. So they're hardly putting more resources into it.
I agree with the rest of it. But there is some logic to this analyst's argument, it does make sense.
HOW DOESPosted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by rocketsfan77
An unannounced Grand Theft Auto game magically appearing in 6 months make any kind of sense? GTA IV was announced almost two years before its release. Red Dead over a year and a half ahead. Same with L.A. Noire. So you mean to say that a GTA coming out 6 months from now and no one yet knows of its existence makes sense?
The answer is "No, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever."
I'll say it again...Pachter is a weatherman. He throws his half baked predictions against a wall like spaghetti to see what sticks. Some are right, some aren't. This is more likely the latter.
Now, R* ANNOUNCING a new GTA this year, that would make sense. But it coming out this year? Not gonna happen. The hype machine would have to have started at the very least last Summer.
Agreed. GTA IV sucked!Posted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by masedawg
I never finished it. Didn't really want to. Nico's a compelling charater but everything that was great about GTA was cut out of GTA IV. Why the hell would I want to spend time surfing a fake internet, hanging out with digital friends, drinking, bowling etc, when I could go do that in my real life? I don't play GTA do that sort of thing, I play it to do the kinds of things you could NEVER do in real life! Bring back the rampages, the gang wars, the over the top action, and I'll be satisfied. Basically, give me a new HD era San Andreas and I'll be happy!
No Mr Pachter.Posted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by Jaded_Fruit_Fly
Once again your business sense makes no sense in a creative field. You don't just "deliver"a creative creation like it's a thing that comes off an assembly line. Not to mention that if If there was a new GTA coming out in 2011 we would have heard about it by now. Seriously, you do not understand how this particular field works.
Well....Posted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by Black420Thorn
I liked GTA4's and RDR's seriousness. Just as much as I liked GTA: SA. The camera and moving mechanics needs to be addressed, however, in the next installment. Nothing more frustrating than not being able to walk through a doorway. And the camera while driving was set way too low. Besides those, I loved GTA4. I still play it.
My Dream GTA GamePosted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by king_mob
is called Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas 1969. You star as Lee Chong, a Chinese immigrant and martial arts student who evades the Chinese police by smuggling himself out to San Andreas. He starts out as a small time hood but eventually starts landing jobs as a stunt double. Depending on his choices he will either become a member of the Chinese mafia, a hollywood action star or a hippie revolutionary. The game will feature all the stuff from Grand Theft Auto plus advanced combat, a toned down, more realistic homage to Ninja Gaiden Blacks fighting as well Assassin's Creed-esque parkouring skills.
And obviously, Lee Chong would be written as an homage to Bruce Lee. And the game has to have check points. I'm sick of starting every mission from the beginning.
I would prefer the next GTA follow the tradition of having several subtitles entries before the big "FIVE". GTAIV came seven years after "III" because it really was a revolutionary revision for the series. I want GTAV to be the game that perfects the series. Things they need to work on:
1. Difficulty options. How about if keeping a low profile sets the game to easy but excessive police shoot outs cranks the difficulty up?
2. Better platforming mechanics (hence the kung fu movie star hero)
3. Branching story options. GTA games are basically action/RPG's so we need more options in deciding how the story plays out.
4. New game +. Because playing Chrono Trigger over and over again was FUN!
I agree with every single thing you've saidPosted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by TheHamsterplan
except I don't quite understand what you're talking about with "Difficulty Options", and if I do understand, I think I might disagree just on that one point. But everything else sounds fantastic, way to go! Now let's get you a job at Rockstar.
Red Dead RedemptionPosted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by franwex
Was sorta like the new Grand Theft Auto. Meaning that the reason we didn't get a GTA5 this year or last year was because RDR took its place. So I wouldn't be surprised if perhaps on 2012 or maybe in 2013 the new GTA shows up. But I would like a new one sooner anyway!
Release this year? If only 'tis were true...Posted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by le_vicomte
There's no doubt that GTA IV was an extremely well made game, despite the lack of finesse in the console shooting mechanics. However, as another poster pointed out, it came off largely as being just a big shiny tech demo. The problem with such seriousness is it just isn't as conducive an environment for general dicking around - something that VC and SA still remain kings of. Vice City had me playing it regularly for more than half a year after having completed it, whereas, with GTA IV I was onto something else little more than a week later. I have the same problem with Red Dead, there's just not enough there for the kind of autonomous fun earlier R* games inspired (though the 'Dastardly' achievement was pure genius).
On a side note, I really, really _have_ to get around to picking up Saints Row 2.
It may have been 3 yearsPosted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by Aztec_Triogal
but I'm honestly not itching for another one. Didn't even finish the last GTA. What I did finish was Red Dead which was only half a year ago and satisfied my need for that style of game.
Im not to surePosted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by stealth_king
Which I prefer. On the one hand Vice City was the best. It was as close as the film Scarface could get to a videogame (a good one anyway. The actual one was meh). But on the other hand I like the serious stories Rockstar has made so far with GTA4 and Red Dead Redemption. This is Rockstar, and yet GTA4 and RDR had better and more moving stories than some sappy Oscar nominated flick.
My other deterrent also against a fun GTA again is ever since GTA got serious, Saints Row kind of took the slapstick torch. I don't think GTA can ever match a side job where you go around as part of a COPS parody beating the shit out of a group of Pirates and Ninja's. This is really a tough call. I just know either way I expect gold from Rockstar.
Haha -> Saints RowPosted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by Grimmjow_nii
Can't say that I agree to that. Never played the game. And that in itself is a statement that not everyone can speak about Saints Row, but almost EVERYONE knows about GTA. My initial reaction to this post was, "Another GTA?" I'm sorry, but i'm tired of being bombarded by GTA. There are so many releases for hand helds, expansions, remakes, i'm almost sick. I feel the same way about the Kingdom Heart series. They are supposed to be working on 3, but all that comes out is crappy hand held versions that I could honestly group with Hello Kitty: Island Adventure. I feel that many sagas are comming to a point where fans are actually thinking "It was good, and I loved it, but come on. Enough." Lets see some new series!
Cant tellPosted: Feb 10, 2011 12:00AM PST by stealth_king
If that post was a bit trolling or an actual comment, seem's like both.
You know you say people get tired of sequels, and yet there are 14 Final Fantasy's not counting all the additional side crap (and ironically the series has been tanking because they changed their formula, meaning people actually wanted more of the same), 9 Dragon Quest games all still holding up, I can't even count how many Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon games, and its a pretty established industry fact that sequels are much more profitable than new IP's, hence Activision's milking of COD. As long as GTA is fun and entertaining, expect more. And if your tired of GTA.....well maybe you should have given Saints Row a try then shouldn'tyou?
And on that comment. Right no one plays Saints Row. Which explains why they made a sequel thatr got great reviews and sales and are now making a third game. Seriously play Saints Row 2. It's got all the old anarchy and humor of the old GTA's, pumped that up quite a bit, and then threw in a full co-op game.
lolPosted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by sepewrath
if Pachter said it, it must be wrong. But really I think if there was a GTA coming out, the hype campaign would have started a long time ago. When it comes to contract leverage, I would think all the copies that GTA IV sold(even though I though it was incredibly boring, a certified tech show and nothing more) would be more than enough of a sign of value.

It's more like Saints Row 2, that game actually let you have fun.
Hell yeahPosted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by ChuckWoolery
I want a Vice City and San Andreas fusion please. I tried playing saints row 2 but got bored quickly. GTA stripped all of the fun in GTA 4 which is what the series has always been about. I wanna fly a plane, raid a military base and most importantly I WANT TANKS BACK!!!
But on a sidebar, I don't think they would come out with a new GTA for relase this fall. Another COD is probably going to get relased topping its previous year's sales record, again.
I thinkPosted: Feb 09, 2011 12:00AM PST by turkish101
we all want Vice City. A more arcade-y version, like the PS2 games.
Or hell, do something different. Liberty City in the 20s or something. Or a Las Vegas-type city.

Spencer Klehn scored five first-half touchdowns, four of which came in the first quarter alone, helping Trinity Classic Academy bounce back from a two-point loss to Joshua Springs last week and blowout Bloomington Christian by a score of 71-7 at Saugus High School.
The Knights (6-2, 3-1) were able to do whatever they wanted against a struggling Ravens team, scoring early and often and taking a 58-0 lead into the half before the two teams agreed to run the clock for the rest of the game.
Klehn scored on touchdown runs of 32, 30, 25 and 7 yards and also returned an interception 19 yards for a score, one of three on the day for Trinity, as Ian Caddow and Aaron Servera also took picks back to the house.
Klehn managed to pick up 113 yards and his four scores on just six carries, while the team's leading rusher on the season, senior Patch Kulp, amassed 110 yards and a score on only eight carries. Nick Spinello capped off a great day for the trio with 50 yards and a score on four carries.
With a couple of starters out on the Knights' offensive line, Klehn praised the play of the replacements.
"The new guys up front stepped right in and provided a huge push all game," the senior running back said. "I was able to hit the holes and bounce it to the outside on most of my runs."
Making life a little easier on the makeshift offensive line, the Knights only ran one passing play, as quarterback Colton Oshiro enjoyed a light day of work. The other 19 plays were all runs, which tend to consist of less complicated blocking schemes.
Bloomington Christian (0-8, 0-4) wasn't able to do much of anything on offense and managed just 1 yard on 23 total rushing plays. Their only score, which came late in the third quarter, was made by Deionte Daniels on a leaping grab on 53 yard-pass from quarterback Chris Garcia.
Trinity head coach Mike Buchanan had praise for the way the Ravens continued to play hard the whole game.
The big lead and complete game allowed Trinity to give everyone some playing time, which will be big heading into the playoffs. But Buchanan isn't looking past their opponent next Saturday.
"We're excited for the playoffs but we have a big game next weekend against Faith Baptist for second place in the league," Buchanan said. "We will need to be clicking on all cylinders like we were today."

You want lyrics? We got lyrics. "Your reputation's in the bathroom/It's on the wall, and down the hall." You want sensitivity? "You're the only girl I've been dreaming of/You're the only woman I ever loved." What emotive range! What subtlety! Mmmmm-whah! It's easy to dismiss this album as excruciatingly clichéd, adolescently inept '80s pop-rock, but then you can't teach an old dog New Waves. Besides, Ace Frehley is a very classy guitarist on such cuts as Talk to Me and Two Sides of the Coin. Like a .350 hitter on a last-place team, maybe he should declare himself a free agent.

Umbria Jazz Winter: Orvieto, Italy, December 28, 2012 - January 1, 2013
Orvieto, Italy
December 28, 2012February 1, 2013
Dee Alexander's Evolution Ensemble
Dee Alexander's sensitive and virtuosic voice, together with the exquisite harmony of her group, charmed the Umbria Jazz Winter public with two different concert series. The first was dedicated to the memory of Alexander's mentor, Light Henry Huff, and the second focused on the music of James Brown.
The group's new album, Sketches of Light (IGEA, 2012), was the basis of the homage to Huff's composition and role. The set opened the jazz festival with a perfect balance of upbeat, highly syncopated pieces, and softer, smoother compositions including "See You on the Other Side," romantically describing the masters of American jazz filling paradise with touching sonorities.
Dee's astonishing vocal range and technique were particularly heightened by the long, breathtaking scat sections on "Rossignol," where the singing transmogrified into a bird's tweeting in a dialogue with Nicole Mitchell's so graceful notes, reminiscent of the flight of a hummingbird. Alexander playfully invited the audience to join them with their own tweets in a theatrical moment of shared, joyful vocal interactions.
Her whispered high notes, emotional range and spiritual vibratos on "Truth" were enchanting and powerful at the same time. This same energy and sensibility, mixed with technical dexterity was mirrored in the whole group, which sparked with the ease of friendship and the strength of professional knowledge.
Nicole Mitchell's limpid, shiny phrasings on flute passed from spring-like, jumpy, vital crescendos, suggesting the foamy and fleshy energy of spring, to the more subtle and intimate accents of her ad hoc exchanges with Alexander.
Tomeka Reid's contrapuntal pizzicatos were counterbalanced with mellow, bowed intros, artfully mixing joy and melancholia, enthusiasm and meditative moods, as well as soulful, spiritual duo sections with Junius Paul on bass, who sensitively mastered the complex rhythmic percussiveness of his own signature style as well as the more lyrical passages of his duo sections with Reid.
Guitarist Scott Hesse showed bluesy arpeggios and surprising flamenco- like inserts, as well as his beautiful arrangements in the set dedicated to James Brown. Knitting the rhythmical waves of the group, from tables to minimalist brush strokes, with creative and unexpected breaks and a vocabulary mixing Creole patterns with traditional jazz tempos, was Ernie Adams, a confirmation of how drumming can be a poetic, cross-cultural texture on which original structures can be constantly developed.
Gregory Porter Septet
Introducing a rich sample of his new albumBe Good (Motéma Music, 2012) and his previous Grammy-nominated Water (Motéma Music, 2010), Gregory Porter brought a jazz-imbued, Billy Wilder funk aura on stage.
His sets revealed not only a warm, smoky voice, but also the magic of original compositions grown from the urban African-American tradition of Harlem, including a piece openly dedicated to this creative musical cradle of NYC: "On My Way to Harlem." As Willy Smoth once said: "I'd rather be a fly on a lamppost in Harlem than a millionaire anywhere else," by listening to the warm-hearted nature of this hymn to Harlem one gets an idea of why it is still so. Other lullaby-like pieces of the same concert seemed to touch another vein of American-ness, reminding one of the touching atmosphere of Chaplin's "Smile."
Porter's septet worked like a lean machine to support his new American songbook. In the brass section the musicians often performed like a Greek choir, highlighting in unison the energetic refrains, and disclosing more metallic voices (like Tivon Pennicotton tenor) or smooth variations (as in the case of Yosuke Satoh on alto) or athletic forces (such as Josh Evans on trumpet) in their solos.
Bassist Aaron James mostly favored a more delicate, warm, and willingly understated poetics, dialoguing with Emanuel Harrold's surgical drumming, while pianist Chip Crawford backed the funky texture of Porter's compositions with sudden, twinkling phrases. The encore, a captivating and energetic "Free," developed over the obsessively repeated title-word, resonating loudly and sharply as a powerful memento of the social importance of this concept.
Warmth coming directly from Bahia started spreading through the notes of Vinicius de Moraes' masterpiece under the same name, led by Paola Morelembaum's soft vocals as well as Jacques Morelembaum's bowed cello notes, resonating with touching essentialism. Soon after, Lula Gulvao's guitar solo, realized with fast, piercing arpeggios developed over minimal, yet significant rhythmic changes, added spice to the already flavorful soundscape.

The vote on whether or not to get rid of a vacancy decontrol law that was adopted in Bayonne last year tightened up with the addition of the non-machine ballots, but the initiative to overturn the law was still defeated, clerk of the Board of Elections Michael Harper said this afternoon.
The Hudson County Clerk's Office is promising to post final numbers from the Nov. 6 election on its website this afternoon.
According Harper, even with provisionals and vote-by-mail ballots all counted, no results have changed.
Betsy Parks, president of the Bayonne Tenants Organization, conceded defeat today.
"The BTO will continue to thrive and we will be back," Parks said.
The vacancy decontrol ordinance allows landlords to apply to remove units from rent control guidelines if a tenant willingly moves or is legally evicted.
Parks said that since the ordinance passed "landlords are becoming very aggressive in their attempts to push tenants out who are under the protection of rent control."

Are you new to a finance role and thinking about your next career move? Or do you have a specific business or leadership challenge? If so, ICAEW mentors and coaches can help you. The majority of mentees are in senior leadership or board level roles and are sponsored by their business.
Darren is one of many of last year's Mentoring and Executive Coaching scheme graduates. Find out what he thought of the programme and how ICAEW's approach to 1:1 session changed his perception of mentoring.
When I joined the ICAEW Mentoring and Executive Coaching Programme, I had already achieved quite a lot in my role. I'd built up the finance team and developed the role of finance within the firm. I had also developed relationships at operational director and commercial director level, and the next step for me was building relationships at board level.
After being paired with my mentor and meeting them, I discussed life goals – as opposed to merely career aims, which came as an initial surprise, but has had a big impact. My first challenge was to go away and talk to my family about it and as a result I've gained more focus and perspective.
A lot of the change has been subtle, but the mentoring has given me a lot of confidence. As a result, I've been invited to attend board meetings where I have presented the financials and am now being consulted by business leaders. I work in quite a challenging and fast paced environment, but my mentor has helped me to apply perspective to the issues I face and to stick to rational, clear thinking.
I was a bit sceptical about mentoring at first but it's been really inspiring. I would like to be on the board one day and my mentor is helping me to achieve that goal. I would recommend mentoring to anybody. So much so, that I have joined a scheme where I will be a mentor myself for underprivileged kids.
"The opportunity to have a mentor from a FTSE 100 company appealed hugely – someone from outside my organisation who has helped to challenge me in ways I wouldn't otherwise receive."
"Mentors provide good challenges around issues such as advice on managing your manager, team dynamics and leadership style. They help people identify needs and suggest practical actions – working on a 5 or 10 year plan to identify goals, experience gaps and suggest ways they might be filled."
If you are thinking about your next career move, are new to a finance role, or have a specific business or leadership challenge, our exceptional pool of mentors and coaches, with direct experience as NEDs, Chairmen, CEOs and CFOs offer an unique opportunity for current or future finance leaders to receive guidance from senior professionals.
We provide finance professionals at all levels with:
We believe mentoring and coaching to be essential for senior management development.
Many of our mentors work with CFOs to develop the skills for success in the boardroom and to bridge the gap between finance manager and business leader.
CFO's benefit from:
After a consultation with our leadership team, you will be asked to select your top three mentor preferences and to provide us with your CV and development objectives. Following that, a stringent matching process is undertaken to ensure a good fit in terms of chemistry, experience and development needs.
Each session with your personal mentor/coach lasts 90 minutes. Sessions are booked directly between the mentor/coach and the delegate. Typically delegates use 8–10 sessions over a year.

All in a Name
All in a Name
Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
Sometimes if I hear the same debate long enough, I get this urge to mix it up and send it in a new direction. For instance, what about the long-running feud between GNU founder Richard Stallman and the namers of the system otherwise known as Linux?
The GNU website summarizes the argument as follows:
Just consider: the GNU Project starts developing an operating system, and years later Linus Torvalds adds one important piece. The GNU Project says, "Please give our project equal mention," but Linus says, "Don't give them a share of credit; call the whole thing after my name alone!" [1]
Stallman has a point about the importance of GNU, but his very personalized rhetorical style has the effect of only reaching the people who already agree with him. (It seems quite unlikely that Linus ever said "Don't give them a share of credit: call the whole thing after my name alone!" – which sounds more like something Genghis Khan or Idi Amin would say, but in any case, if he did say it, they should add a footnote with their source. If he didn't say it, it shouldn't be in quotation marks.)
Like many in the software industry, I see the arguments on both sides, but to be honest, I find it really unlikely that the GNU/ formulation will ever catch on. Slashes are just a really inorganic and cumbersome way to name things. If the GNU Project believes they will not be getting the appropriate credit unless their name is integrated into the name of the system (which seems to be what they are saying), they should be arguing for some kind of hybrid, such as:
GNU + Linux = Glunix
Another approach mentioned by the GNU Project is to leave out any mention of Linux completely and just call it "The GNU Operating System," which doesn't really solve anything and actually just applies the same problem in reverse.
Of all the options I've heard, the more general term "The GNU system" seems the most useful as a means for referring to the vast body of free software components and applications Stallman's movement has given to the world. Not that Linux can't be Linux (or BSD, BSD), but in a future of many kernels, GNU will gravitate to a more independent identity as the common denominator.
Consider the following:
- GNU/OpenSolaris – Oracle just bought Sun, which means they just bought Solaris. They currently operate their own Linux distro cloned from Red Hat. They will no doubt continue to support Linux, but you can expect that this association with Oracle will breathe new life into the Solaris scene.
- Debian GNU/kFreeBSD – The BSD-on-Debian concept has been around for years; however, just recently, the Debian team announced new developments in this effort, with the kFreeBSD i386 and AMD64 architectures joining the Debian archive.
- GNU/Mac OS – Projects like Fink and MacPorts are busily porting free software to Mac OS X.
- GNU/Win – I know this looks really weird, but in fact, plenty of free software runs on Windows. The GNU project even has a web page summarizing free software tools for Windows [2].
As the competition among operating systems increases, the public will need a kernel-independent means to refer to this essential collection of free software tools and components, so no matter what happens in the great debate, it seems likely that GNU will continue to remain in the public eye – not just as an idea, but as a name.

Microsoft Exchange Server is a mail server and calendaring server developed by Microsoft. It runs exclusively on Windows Server operating systems.
Exchange Server was initially Microsoft's internal mail server. The first version of Exchange Server to be published outside Microsoft was Exchange Server 4.0. Exchange initially used the X.400 directory service but switched to Active Directory later. Versions 4.0 and 5.0 came bundled with an email client called Microsoft Exchange Client. It was discontinued in favor of Microsoft Outlook.
Exchange Server uses a proprietary protocol called MAPI. Over time, however, it added support for POP3, IMAP, SMTP, and EAS.
Exchange Server is licensed both in the forms of on-premises software and software as a service. In the on-premises form, customer purchase client access licenses (CALs). In the software as a service form, Microsoft receives a monthly service fee instead (see Microsoft Office 365).

Microsoft had sold a number of email products before Exchange. Microsoft Mail v2.0 (written by Microsoft) was replaced in 1991 by "Microsoft Mail for PC Networks v2.1",[4] based on Network Courier, which Microsoft had acquired.[5] When the original version of Exchange Server was sold to the public, it was positioned as an upgrade to Microsoft Mail 3.5.
Exchange Server was an entirely new X.400-based client–server mail system with a single database store that also supported X.500 directory services. During its development Microsoft migrated their own internal email from a XENIX-based system to Exchange Server from April 1993,[6] with all 32,000 Microsoft mailboxes on Exchange by late 1996.[6][7]
The directory used by Exchange Server eventually became Microsoft's Active Directory service, an LDAP-compliant directory service. Active Directory was integrated into Windows 2000 as the foundation of Windows Server domains.
Exchange Server 4.0[edit]
The first release of Exchange outside of Microsoft was Exchange Server 4.0 in March 1996,[8] with five service packs being released over the next two years.[9]
Exchange Server 5.0[edit]
Introduced the new Exchange Administrator console, as well as opening up "integrated" access to SMTP-based networks for the first time. Unlike Microsoft Mail (which required a standalone SMTP relay), Exchange Server 5.0 could, with the help of an add-in called the Internet Mail Connector, communicate directly with servers using SMTP. Version 5.0 also introduced a new Web-based e-mail interface called Exchange Web Access, which was rebranded as Outlook Web Access in a later service pack. Along with Exchange Server version 5.0, Microsoft released version 8.01 of Microsoft Outlook, version 5.0 of the Microsoft Exchange Client and version 7.5 of Microsoft Schedule+ to support the new features in the new version of Exchange Server.
Exchange Server 5.0 introduced a number of other new features including a new version of Outlook Web Access with calendar support, support for IMAP4 and LDAP v3 clients and the Deleted Item Recovery feature.
Exchange Server 5.5[edit]
The last version of Exchange Server to have separate directory, SMTP and NNTP services. There was no new version of Exchange Client and Schedule+ for version 5.5, instead version 8.03 of Microsoft Outlook was released to support the new features of Exchange Server 5.5.
It was sold in two editions: Standard and Enterprise. They differ in database store size, mail transport connectors, and clustering capabilities.
- Standard Edition
- Had the same 16 GB database size limitation as earlier versions of Exchange Server. It included the Site Connector, MS Mail Connector, Internet Mail Service (previously "Internet Mail Connector"), and Internet News Service (previously "Internet News Connector"), as well as software to interoperate with cc:Mail, Lotus Notes and Novell GroupWise.
- Enterprise Edition
- Had an increased limit of 16 TB (although Microsoft's best practices documentation recommends that the message store not exceed 100 GB). Adds an X.400 connector, and interoperability software with SNADS and PROFS. Introduced two node clustering capability.
Exchange Server 2000[edit]
Codenamed "Platinum", this version overcame many of the limitations of its predecessors. For example, it raised the maximum sizes of databases and increased the number of servers in a cluster from two to four. However, many customers were deterred from upgrading by the requirement for a full Microsoft Active Directory infrastructure to be in place, as unlike Exchange Server 5.5, Exchange 2000 Server had no built-in Directory Service, and had a dependency upon Active Directory. The migration process from Exchange Server 5.5 necessitated having the two systems online at the same time, with user-to-mailbox mapping and a temporary translation process between the two directories. Exchange 2000 Server also added support for instant messaging, but that capability was later spun off to Microsoft Office Live Communications Server.
Exchange Server 2003[edit]
Codenamed "Titanium", this version can be run on Windows 2000 Server (with Service Pack 4) and 32-bit Windows Server 2003, although some new features only work with the latter. Like Windows Server 2003, Exchange Server 2003 has many compatibility modes to allow users to slowly migrate to the new system. This is useful in large companies with distributed Exchange Server environments who cannot afford the downtime and expense that comes with a complete migration.
It made the migration from pre-2000 versions of Exchange significantly easier (although still involved the same basic steps), and many users of Exchange Server 5.5 waited for the release of Exchange Server 2003 to upgrade. The upgrade process also required upgrading a company's servers to Windows 2000. Some customers opted to stay on a combination of Exchange Server 5.5 and Windows NT 4.0, both of which are no longer supported by Microsoft.
One of the new features in Exchange Server 2003 is enhanced disaster recovery,[10] which allows administrators to bring the server online more quickly. This is done by allowing the server to send and receive mail while the message stores are being recovered from backup. Some features previously available in the Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2001/2002 products have been added to the core Exchange Server product, like Outlook Mobile Access and server-side Exchange ActiveSync, while the Mobile Information Server product itself has been dropped. Also new is the ability to drop inbound e-mail before being fully processed, thus preventing delays in the message routing system. There are also improved message and mailbox management tools, which allow administrators to execute common chores more quickly. Others, such as Instant Messaging and Exchange Conferencing Server have been extracted completely in order to form separate products. Microsoft now appears to be positioning a combination of Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Live Communications Server, Live Meeting, and SharePoint as its collaboration software of choice. Exchange Server is now to be simply e-mail and calendaring.
Exchange Server 2003 added several basic filtering methods to Exchange Server. They are not sophisticated enough to eliminate spam, but they can protect against DoS and mailbox flooding attacks. Exchange Server 2000 supported the ability to block a sender's address, or e-mail domain by adding '*@domain.com', which is still supported in Exchange Server 2003.
New features[edit]
Added filtering methods in Exchange Server 2003 are:
- Connection filtering: Messages are blocked from DNS RBL lists[11] or from manually specified IP addresses/ranges
- Recipient filtering: Messages blocked when sent to manually specified recipients on the server (for intranet-only addresses) or to any recipients not on the server (stopping spammers from guessing addresses)
- Sender ID filtering: Sender ID, a form of Sender Policy Framework (SPF)
- Intelligent Message Filter: Initially a free Microsoft add-on, later, part of service pack 2, that uses heuristic message analysis to block messages or direct them to the "Junk E-Mail" folder in Microsoft Outlook clients.[12]
It is included with both Windows Small Business Server 2003 Standard and Premium editions.
Standard Edition:
- Supports up to two storage groups (with one of the storage groups, called the recovery storage group, being reserved for database recovery operations) and a maximum of two databases per storage group.
- Each database is limited to a maximum size of 16 GB.
- Beginning with the release of Service Pack 2, a maximum database size of 75 GB, but only supports 16 GB by default; larger sized databases have to be updated-in with a registry change.[13]
Enterprise Edition allows a 16 TB maximum database size, and supports up to four storage groups with 5 databases per storage group for a total of 20 databases per server.
Exchange 2003 mainstream support ended on April 14, 2009.[14] Extended support ended on April 8, 2014.[15]
Exchange Server 2007[edit]
Released to business customers as part of Microsoft's roll-out wave of new products. It includes new clustering options, x64 support for greater scalability, voice mail integration, better search and support for Web services, better filtering options, and a new Outlook Web Access interface. Exchange 2007 also dropped support for Exchange 5.5 migrations, routing groups, admin groups, Outlook Mobile Access, X.400, and some API interfaces, amongst other features.[16]
Exchange Server 2007 (v8, code name E12, or with SP1 v8.1) runs only on x64 versions of Windows Server. This requirement applies to supported production environments only; a 32-bit trial version is available for download and testing. Hence, companies currently running Exchange Server on 32-bit hardware will be required to replace or migrate hardware if they wish to upgrade to the new version. Companies that are currently running Exchange Server on 64-bit capable hardware are still required to migrate from their existing Exchange 2000/2003 servers to a new 2007 server since in-place upgrades are not supported in 2007.
The first beta of Exchange Server 2007 (then named "Exchange 12" or E12) was released in December 2005 to a very limited number of beta testers. A wider beta was made available via TechNet Plus and MSDN subscriptions in March 2006 according to the Microsoft Exchange team blog.[17] On April 25, 2006, Microsoft announced that the next version of Exchange Server would be called "Exchange Server 2007".
Exchange Server 2007 is an integrated part of the Innovative Communications Alliance products.[18]
New features[edit]
- Protection: Anti-spam, antivirus, compliance, clustering with data replication, improved security and encryption
- Improved Information Worker Access: Improved calendaring, unified messaging, improved mobility, improved web access
- Improved IT Experience: 64-bit performance and scalability, command-line shell and simplified GUI, improved deployment, role separation, simplified routing
- Exchange Management Shell: a new command-line shell and scripting language for system administration (based on Windows PowerShell). Shell users can perform every task that can be performed in the Exchange Server graphical user interface plus additional tasks, and can program often-used or complex tasks into scripts that can be saved, shared, and re-used. The Exchange Management Shell has over 375 unique commands to manage features of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.[19]
- "Unified Messaging": Lets users receive voice mail, e-mail, and faxes in their mailboxes, and lets them access their mailboxes from cell phones and other wireless devices. Voice commands can be given to control and listen to e-mail over the phone (and also send some basic messages, like "I'll be late")
- Increased database maximum size limit: Database size is now limited to 16TB per database[20]
- Increased maximum storage groups and mail databases per server: 5 each for Standard Edition (from one each in Exchange Server 2003 Standard), and to 50 each for Enterprise Edition (from 4 groups and 20 databases in Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise).
- Configure Outlook Anywhere: Formerly known as RPC over HTTP provides external access to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 for users. This also provides external URLs for Exchange services such as the Availability service and offline address book.
- Standard edition
- Can have 5 databases in up to 5 storage groups. Supports LCR (Local Continuous Replication) and SCR (Standby Continuous Replication).
- Enterprise edition
- This is extended to 50 databases in up to 50 storage groups. Supports LCR (Local Continuous Replication), SCR (Standby Continuous Replication), SCC (Single Copy Clustering), and CCR (Clustered Continuous Replication).
Exchange Server 2010[edit]
Exchange Server 2010 was released to manufacturing on May 2009, and reached general availability on November 9, 2009.[21]
New features[edit]
- DAG (Database Availability Groups): SCC, CCR, LCR and site resiliency functionality SCR have been replaced by DAG. It provides database-level high availability (as opposed to server level) and supports a number of copies of each database (number based on Exchange Edition) and flexible configuration (databases copies may be added/ removed at will without requiring major server reconfiguration).
- Client Access Server (CAS): High availability for the Client Access Server role is provided by using Client Access Server (CAS) arrays. A CAS array can contain multiple Client Access Servers in an Active Directory site and provide a single name endpoint for client connections. CAS arrays cannot span multiple Active Directory sites.
- Mailbox Server Role may be combined with the Client Access Server: In Exchange Server 2007, a clustered mailbox server could not be combined with any other roles. In Exchange Server 2010, the Mailbox Server Role may be combined with the Client Access Server and/or Hub Transport roles, regardless of whether or not the mailbox server participates in a Database Availability Group. However, since Database Availability Groups use Windows Failover Clustering, and Microsoft does not support the combination of Windows Failover Clustering and Windows Network Load Balancing on the same server, a multi-role deployment will require the use of a 3rd party load balancer to provide load balancing and fault tolerance for the Client Access Server role.
- RPC Client Access: With the introduction of the RPC Client Access service, all Outlook clients access their mailbox database through the Client Access Server role. This abstraction layer allows for improved load balancing and redundancy and minimal client impact in the event of a database level *-over ("switchover" or "failover") event.
- Cost savings in required hardware: Exchange Server 2010 provides cost savings in required hardware. Storage performance requirements (measured in IOPS: Input/output operations per second) have been reduced by approximately 70% over Exchange Server 2007, and by approximately 90% over Exchange Server 2003. According to a case study, Microsoft IT was able to reduce hardware costs by 75% during the migration from Exchange Server 2007 to Exchange Server 2010.
- Personal Archive: Exchange Server 2010 extends the large mailbox support introduced in Exchange Server 2007, and also introduces a Personal Archive feature to allow messages to be retained longer without the need for a third-party archival system. The Personal Archive is implemented as a secondary mailbox for archive-enabled users, and in Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1, the Personal Archive may be located on a different database than the primary mailbox, which may reside on a different disk if desired. Backup can be performed via multiple solutions like Handy Backup or Acronis.
- Recoverable Items: The compliance and legal search features have been enhanced. What was formerly known as the "Dumpster" in previous versions of Exchange (a special storage area for messages that have been deleted from the Deleted Items folder or "permanently deleted" from a regular folder, such as the Inbox) has been evolved into the Recoverable Items folder in Exchange Server 2010. If configured appropriately, the Recoverable Items folder allows for a "tamper proof" storage area (users cannot circumvent the Recoverable Items folder to bypass legal discovery), which also provides a revision history of any modified items.
- Administration delegation: Can now be performed at a granular level due to Exchange Server 2010's implementation of Role Based Access Control (RBAC). Users and administrators can be given extremely fine grained abilities for functions provided both within the Exchange Management Console or Exchange Management Shell and in Outlook Web App. For example, a compliance officer may be given the ability to perform cross mailbox discovery searches within Outlook Web App; a help desk technician may be granted the ability to set an Out Of Office message for other employees within the company, or a branch administrator in a remote office may be granted the permission to perform specific Exchange Management Shell commands that pertain only to the Exchange server in their branch office.
- Outlook Web App includes improvements: Including, for example, the ability for users to track their sent messages and printable calendar views and the "Premium" experience is now available across multiple browsers (including Safari and Firefox).
- Distribution groups can now be "moderated": Meaning that distribution groups can now be configured to allow users to join at will or only with a group moderator's permission, and individual messages sent to distribution groups can now be approved or denied by a moderator.
- "Shadow Redundancy": Exchange Server 2010 introduces a transport concept called "Shadow Redundancy" that protects e-mail messages while they are in transit. If a Hub Transport server or an Edge Transport server fails after it has received a message for processing, but before it was able to deliver it to the next "hop" server, the server sending the message to the transport server is now able to detect the failure and redeliver the message to a different Hub Transport or Edge Transport server for processing...
Several high-availability options have been consolidated into just one option for Exchange Server 2010 (Mailbox Resiliency), which is now offered in both the Standard and Enterprise editions. The capabilities of Local Continuous Replication, Standby Continuous Replication, and Cluster Continuous Replication are now unified into the Exchange 2010 Mailbox Resiliency capability. These capabilities enable a simplified approach to high availability and disaster recovery. The Standard Edition supports up to 5 databases with each database being limited to a maximum size of 16 TB. While the Enterprise Edition supports up to 100 databases with no size limit.
Storage group is discontinued in Exchange 2010 and onward.
In January 2011, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 won InfoWorld's 2011 Technology of the Year Award for Best Mail Server.
Exchange Server 2013[edit]
Microsoft reached the RTM milestone for Exchange Server 2013 on October 11, 2012.[22] A trial version of this product is available from Microsoft website.[23]
New features[edit]
New features include:[24][25][26][27]
- Offline support in OWA: Emails and actions are automatically synced the next time connectivity is restored.
- Client connectivity: CAS role is the point of connectivity for all clients in Exchange 2013.
- Public folders: In 2013, public folders are now part of mailbox databases and high availability is achieved using DAG.
- Site Mailboxes: Brings Exchange emails and SharePoint documents together.
- Outlook Web App: Offers three different UI layouts optimized for desktop, tablet, and mobile phone browsers.
- Ability to customize: Outlook and OWA by integrating apps from the Office marketplace. (Yes, this is a reference to the Agaves add-ins that Microsoft and partners will be making available via the new Office Store.) The new "Napa" tools and/or HTML5 are Microsoft's preferred ways for developers to build these.
- Exchange Administrative Center (EAC): Replacement of the Exchange Management Console by a Web-based Exchange Administrative Center (EAC).
- Support for up to 8TB disks: And multiple databases per disk via Data Availability Group (DAG) management.
- Built in basic anti-malware protection: Ability for administrators to configure and manage settings from inside EAC. (Note: this feature can be turned off, replaced or "paired with premium services such as Exchange Online Protection for layered protection.").
- New Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Capabilities for identifying and protecting "sensitive data." DLP policies are based on regulatory standards, including PII and PCI. Also: new policy tips in Outlook 2013 can be set to inform users about potential policy violations.
- In-Place eDiscovery: Can be run across Exchange, SharePoint, and Lync (now Skype for Business) from a single interface.
- Combine Roles: A reduction in the number of available roles to two: a Client Access Server and a Mailbox Server role.
- FAST Search: Now integrated into Exchange 2013 managed store to provide a more consistent (across Microsoft servers) indexing and searching experience.
- Inclusion of a "Managed Store": The name of the rewritten information store processes, which are now written in C#.
- Replication: Public folders are now stored in mailbox databases and can take advantage of Database Availability Groups for replication and high availability.
- Data loss prevention: Capabilities that can be integrated into Transport Rules.
Exchange Server 2016[edit]
On October 1, 2015, Microsoft announced the general availability (GA) of Exchange Server 2016.[28]
New features[edit]
- Combine Roles: A reduction in the number of available roles to two: a Mailbox Server and an Edge Transport (intended only in certain Office 365 hybrid scenarios).
- Outlook on the web (formerly Outlook Web App): UI changes
- Office 365 hybrid: The Hybrid Configuration Wizard (HCW) that was included with Exchange 2013 is moving to become a cloud-based application. When one chooses to configure a hybrid deployment in Exchange 2016, you'll be prompted to download and install the wizard as a small app.
- Messaging policy and compliance: New DLP and Archiving/Retention/eDiscovery features.
For more detail on new features, see the following Microsoft TechNet article: What's new in Exchange 2016
Clustering and high availability[edit]
Exchange Server Enterprise Edition supports clustering of up to 4 nodes when using Windows 2000 Server, and up to 8 nodes with Windows Server 2003. Exchange Server 2003 also introduced active-active clustering, but for two-node clusters only. In this setup, both servers in the cluster are allowed to be active simultaneously. This is opposed to Exchange's more common active-passive mode in which the failover servers in any cluster node cannot be used at all while their corresponding home servers are active. They must wait, inactive, for the home servers in the node to fail. Subsequent performance issues with active-active mode have led Microsoft to recommend that it should no longer be used.[29] In fact, support for active-active mode clustering has been discontinued with Exchange Server 2007.
Exchange's clustering (active-active or active-passive mode) has been criticized because of its requirement for servers in the cluster nodes to share the same data. The clustering in Exchange Server provides redundancy for Exchange Server as an application, but not for Exchange data.[30] In this scenario, the data can be regarded as a single point of failure, despite Microsoft's description of this set-up as a "Shared Nothing" model.[31] This void has however been filled by ISVs and storage manufacturers, through "site resilience" solutions, such as geo-clustering and asynchronous data replication.[32] Exchange Server 2007 introduces new cluster terminology and configurations that address the shortcomings of the previous "shared data model".[33]
Exchange Server 2007 provides built-in support for asynchronous replication modeled on SQL Server's "Log shipping"[34] in CCR (Cluster Continuous Replication) clusters, which are built on MSCS MNS (Microsoft Cluster Service—Majority Node Set) clusters, which do not require shared storage. This type of cluster can be inexpensive and deployed in one, or "stretched" across two data centers for protection against site-wide failures such as natural disasters. The limitation of CCR clusters is the ability to have only two nodes and the third node known as "voter node" or file share witness that prevents "split brain"[35] scenarios, generally hosted as a file share on a Hub Transport Server. The second type of cluster is the traditional clustering that was available in previous versions, and is now being referred to as SCC (Single Copy Cluster). In Exchange Server 2007 deployment of both CCR and SCC clusters has been simplified and improved; the entire cluster install process takes place during Exchange Server installation. LCR or Local Continuous Replication has been referred to as the "poor man's cluster". It is designed to allow for data replication to an alternative drive attached to the same system and is intended to provide protection against local storage failures. It does not protect against the case where the server itself fails.
In November 2007, Microsoft released SP1 for Exchange Server 2007. This service pack includes an additional high-availability feature called SCR (Standby Continuous Replication). Unlike CCR, which requires that both servers belong to a Windows cluster typically residing in the same datacenter, SCR can replicate data to a non-clustered server, located in a separate datacenter.
With Exchange Server 2010, Microsoft introduced the concept of the Database Availability Group (DAG). A DAG contains Mailbox servers that become members of the DAG. Once a Mailbox server is a member of a DAG, the Mailbox Databases on that server can be copied to other members of the DAG. When a Mailbox server is added to a DAG, the Failover Clustering Windows role is installed on the server and all required clustering resources are created.
Like Windows Server products, Exchange Server requires client access licenses, which are different from Windows CALs. Corporate license agreements, such as the Enterprise Agreement, or EA, include Exchange Server CALs. It also comes as part of the Core CAL. Just like Windows Server and other server products from Microsoft, there is the choice to use User CALs or Device CALs. Device CALs are assigned to devices (workstation, laptop or PDA), which may be used by one or more users.[36] User CALs, are assigned to users, allowing them to access Exchange from any device. User and Device CALs have the same price, however, they cannot be used interchangeably.
For service providers looking to host Microsoft Exchange, there is a Service Provider License Agreement (SPLA) available whereby Microsoft receives a monthly service fee instead of traditional CALs. Two types of Exchange CAL are available: Exchange CAL Standard and Exchange CAL Enterprise. The Enterprise CAL is an add-on license to the Standard CAL.
Exchange hosting[edit]
Microsoft Exchange Server can also be purchased as a hosted service from a number of providers.[37] Though Exchange hosting has been around for more than 10 years, it is only recently[when?] that many providers have been marketing the service as "Cloud Computing" or Software-as-a-Service. Exchange hosting allows for Microsoft Exchange Server to be running in the Internet, also referred to as the Cloud, and managed by a "Hosted Exchange Server provider" instead of building and deploying the system in-house.
Exchange Online[edit]
Microsoft Exchange Online is an email, calendar, and contacts solution delivered as a cloud service, hosted by Microsoft. It is essentially the same service offered by hosted Exchange providers and it is built on the same technologies as Microsoft Exchange Server. Exchange Online provides end users with a familiar email experience across PCs, the Web and mobile devices, while giving IT administrators or small businesses and professionals web-based tools for managing their online deployment.[38]
Microsoft Exchange is available both as on-premises software and as a hosted service with Exchange Online. Customers can also choose to combine both on-premises and online options in a hybrid deployment.
A hybrid deployment[39] can serve as an intermediate step between an on-premises and a fully hosted Exchange solution. This configuration provides a wealth of features such as allowing organizations to better migrate user mailboxes providing the ability to not only move on-premises mailboxes to Exchange Online, but from Exchange Online back to the on-premises server, cloud-based message archiving for on-premises mailboxes and centralized mailbox management for both infrastructures, to name a few.
With the necessity of on-premises servers; namely an Exchange Server and an Azure Active Directory synchronization server, there is a resource overhead to implement a hybrid solution. Hybrid implementations remain a popular choice for organizations that are unsure of the need or urgency to do a full cut-over to Exchange Online; also allowing for staggered email migration.
Hybrid monitoring and reporting tools cover the main on-premises stack of Microsoft Exchange, Lync, SharePoint, Windows, and Active Directory servers, in addition to using replica data to report cloud user experience. The monitoring of servers is important to the optimal maintenance of the server infrastructure, as well as, cloud reporting to monitor user experience.[citation needed]
Exchange Online was first provided as a hosted service in dedicated customer environments in 2005 to select pilot customers.[40] Microsoft launched a multi-tenant version of Exchange Online as part of the Business Productivity Online Standard Suite in November 2008.[41] In June 2011, as part of the commercial release of Microsoft Office 365, Exchange Online was updated with the capabilities of Exchange Server 2010.
Exchange Server 2010 was developed concurrently as a server product and for the Exchange Online service.
Microsoft Exchange Server uses a proprietary remote procedure call (RPC) protocol called MAPI/RPC,[42] which was designed to be used by Microsoft Outlook. Clients capable of using the proprietary features of Exchange Server include Evolution[43] and Microsoft Outlook. Exchange Web Services (EWS), an alternative to the MAPI protocol, is a documented SOAP-based protocol introduced with Exchange Server 2007, which significantly reduces synchronization time between the server versus WebDAV, which is used by Exchange Server 2003. Exchange Web Services is used by the latest version of Microsoft Entourage for Mac and Microsoft Outlook for Mac. Also, since the release of Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Mac computers running OS X include some support for this technology via Apple's Mail application. Built-in support with Mac OS X 10.6 requires the Exchange organization to be running Exchange Server 2007 SP1/SP2 or Exchange Server 2010.
E-mail hosted on an Exchange Server can also be accessed using SMTP, POP3, and IMAP4 protocols, using clients such as Windows Live Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Lotus Notes. These protocols must be enabled on the server. Exchange Server mailboxes can also be accessed through a web browser, using Outlook Web App (OWA). Exchange Server 2003 also featured a version of OWA for mobile devices, called Outlook Mobile Access (OMA).
Microsoft Exchange Server up to version 5.0 came bundled with Microsoft Exchange Client, a multi-purpose native client for email. After version 5.0, it was superseded by Microsoft Outlook, which was part of Microsoft Office 97 and later.[44] When Outlook 97 was released, Exchange Client 5.0 was still in development and to be later released as part of Exchange Server 5.0, primarily because Outlook was only available for Windows. Later, in Exchange Server 5.5, Exchange Client was removed and Outlook was made the only Exchange client. As part of Exchange Server 5.5, Outlook was released for other platforms.
The original Windows 95 "Inbox" client also used MAPI and was called "Microsoft Exchange". A stripped down version of the Exchange Client that does not have support for Exchange Server was released as Windows Messaging to avoid confusion; it was included with Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4. It was discontinued because of the move to email standards such as SMTP, IMAP, and POP3, all of which Outlook Express supports better than Windows Messaging.
Exchange ActiveSync[edit]
Support for Exchange ActiveSync was added to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. Exchange ActiveSync, in the context of Exchange Server, allows a compliant device such as a Windows Mobile device to securely synchronize mail, contacts and other data directly with an Exchange server. Since its inception, Exchange ActiveSync has become a popular mobile access standard for businesses due to cross-platform support from companies like Nokia and Apple Inc.[45] as well as its advanced device security and compliance features.
Support for push email was added to Exchange Server 2003 with Service Pack 2. Windows Mobile 5.0 requires the "Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP)", later versions of the mobile operating system, such as Windows Phone 7, have the capability built in.[46] Many other devices now support Exchange ActiveSync push email, such as the iPhone and Android Phones.[47] Exchange Server 2007 and Exchange Server 2010 support the use of Exchange ActiveSync Policies. By using Exchange ActiveSync Policies, administrators can secure the devices that connect to the organization or remotely deactivate features on the devices. Administrators or users can also remotely wipe a lost mobile device.
Exchange Server 2013 supports the use of Mobile Exchange ActiveSync Policies.[48]

'Jersey Shore' spinoff draws 2.9 million viewers
"Jersey Shore" spinoff "The Pauly D Project" got off to a solid, if unspectacular, start Thursday night.
Starring Paul "Pauly D" Del Vecchio, the 10:30 half-hour telecast attracted 2.9 million viewers and 2.1 million in the cabler's target 12-34 demo.
As a lead-in, the return of "Punk'd" — off the air since 2007 — garnered 3.2 million viewers and 2.1 million in the demo. Both were the top two cable series in the demo for the night.
Show, in which celebrities get elaborate tricks played upon them, was formerly hosted by Ashton Kutcher, but in the updated version a new host is selected each week. Justin Bieber handled the duties in the premiere.
"Punk'd" is exec produced by Katalyst's Jason Goldberg and Kutcher. Lauren Dolgen, Colin Nash, Kristina Edwards and Jennifer Russakoff are exec producers for MTV.
As for "The Pauly D Project," the 2.9 million represents a steep drop from the recent season-five finale of "Jersey Shore" but was within MTV's expectations. Show is produced by SallyAnn Salsano's 495 Prods. She exec produces with Jacquelyn French, Larry Rudolph and Adam Leber.
MTV has ordered 12 episodes of each series.
In other news at the teen-centric cabler, reality stalwart "The Real World" was given a 28th season renewal and a 23rd season for "The Challenge." The 27th season of "The Real World" is currently shooting in St. Thomas.

I had always wanted a decent model of the two-toned Braniff... a friend referred me to a local dealer he knew in the area... at first I was hesitant but then thought, hey, what harm could really happen right? so i did it! I bought a red/orange DC8.. and I liked it! Well, I couldn't keep my mind off of the pleasure I had felt.. I wanted that excitement again! So, I went back and bought a Blue/Lt Blue 727-100... ahhhh ecstacy is mine I thought! This is nice!!!!! But it wasn't long before my habit began to escalate.... Green 727-200, 747-100 Braniff Place! I found that I wasn't satisfied with just Braniff anymore and experimented with harder stuff... yes, the CPair 747-200.... then the National DC8, Northeast 727-200! Then I started mixing it up together... Eastern and Court L-1011s...ooooooohhhh whatta rush! I am spiraling out of control... all I can think about is more..more...more... which one can I get next.... the Aloha 737-200 says "hello!" to me! I hear voices! "the white zone is for loading and unloading passengers only, there is no parking in the white zone"! I try to stop but in no time I am picking up the white courtesy phone to call the dealer to ask if anything new has arrived!
Can anyone confirm that the next Airline Collectable show in L.A. is on July 28th?
