Seminar Transcript - Charting the Course: An Edition for all Editions
This transcript is paraphrased, with some responses shortened. It is compiled from various tweets (thanks especially to Critical Hits, E. Foley, and Rolling20s for their live tweeting - I suggest you check out their Twitter feeds) plus WotC's live chat feed, and other sources. Photo tweeted by
Welcome to the D&D XP Seminar: Charting the Course: An Edition for all Editions! Please ask no questions about product releases, digital tools, etc. In attendence: Monte Cook, Mike Mearls, and Jeremy Crawford.
Q What needs to be preserved from older editions? Player/DM relationship?
Monte: The core mechanic of #dnd is: player says 'I want to X' and DM responds. Therein lie the stories.
Mike: Offering a wide variety of options so every player can play the way they want to.
Jeremy: The game being a toolbox for players/DMs to create stories together. And fireballs. (Some jokes about the importance of fireballs).
Q: What are the essential elements of #dnd?
Mike: The shared language: HP, AC, and things that lead to a shared culture.Shared stories: The Dread Gazeebo, the Head of Vecna, these things help make our common culture.
Monte: Different players have different desires for their games, DMs, too. Take the distilled essence of #dnd, and build upon that in a modular way. Each group can use what they want. You like tactical, grid combat, or feats and extended skills? Use those. If you just like the core game, just use that.
Jeremy: Our goal is to get something from the design team with a specific goal. It's analyzed and evaluated... We're there to reality-check and forecast what the proposed design thoughts would be, now, and down the road. My team also does a lot of number-crunching. We make sure that everything done fulfills the overall vision. A synthesis of the "Greatest Hits" of all editions of D&D. Present and past.
Q: How can we achieve balance in such a modular, flexible game?
Jeremy: What's important to know is that module approach is a spectrum of playstyles.
Jeremy: There's a baseline game that provides the foundation. From there, you add on what you want. The seeds are there.
Monte: For example, the basic game fighter might have specific level-bases abilities. Things that every fighter has. If you decide to get more customized, you can swap standard abilities for more complex, optional abilities. These are the kinds of things that feats do now. But the complex stuff is balanced with what's in the core. One character is more complex, but not necessarily more powerful.
Jeremy: The DM should be able to create the experience that their group wants. The players should be able to choose their level of complexity, and have it work no matter the options chosen.
Mike: You can see expressions of character types that are found in other editions.
Monte: The DM says: we're using grid, mat and minis. The players can then choose options that match the DM's style.
Mike: If we get this right, everyone is sort of playing their own edition of the game. All at the same table.
Q: How will roleplaying, combat and exploration be supported?
Mike: If we support those three things, we've covered about 90% of what's important in the game. The customization comes in at the table level. DM makes choices along with the players to craft their game.
Jeremy: If a group wants more social interaction, the DM can choose the module that support that. If the group wants more tactical combat, then the group chooses those modules.
Mike: For example, a mass combat expansion would have a basic, core system. Choose modules to play generals, etc. Are you seeing the mass combat from the top down, or from an individual's POV?
Monte: These choices hve helped influence class design as well. This lets a combat-heavy fighter and an exploration-based rogue to both fulfill their roles well. Bards can still kick ass. Depending on what a player wants to do in/out of combat, there will be classes that well support that.
Mike: Swap the core class bits to make the character you want to play.
Q: How will high level play work?
Monte: Every edition of the game "breaks down" at a certain level. I don't think it breaks down, I just think it changes. I think 4E does the best of
highlighting that high level change and being clear that things are changing. I think that we can run with that for the future and have a list of options for classes/characters that open up when you hit a certain level. We can also have other options, like building a castle, having followers and vassals. We can build that into what high level characters get.
Mike: I think Monte hit on the really important point with saying that different people mean different things when they say the game breaks down at high levels. Some people are excited that their characters get really powerful. The question is what should that change really be? How should the game change at high levels? What should it look like and how should we build the breadth of options to cover that? Those are the real questions we're trying to answer when addressing high level play.
Monte: Instead of the fighter getting a better and better attack bonus, he instead gets more options to do stuff as he goes up in level, and his attack bonus goes up at a very modest rate. I think it offers a better play experience that the orc/ogre can remain in the campaign, and people can know how the monster would work from a previous experience, but they remain a challenge for longer.
Jeremy: The Monsters are in the design teams hands now and we'll be moving to development in the next few weeks. What I can say about this goal that Monte is talking about is that we're working ot provide the DM with really good world building tools. And it's important to provide information about the orcs place in D&D while making sure that a Monster remains relevant as the characters level up. They're might be an orc shaman, an orc champion or whatever for higher levels, but we also want the basic orc to be relevant at higher levels. We want it to be really easy for the DM to open the Monster Manual and drop an orc or iconic monsters into the game.
Jeremy: It's been great to see in playtesting how many different playstyles and desires have come up. The thing that's been driven home for me is how important his modular approach is, and the big tent to bring everybody in to play the same game. We know that the standard D&D game falls into the middle of all roleplay and all combat, but the feedback so far really drives home all the diversity and difference in desires and playstyles. When one person wants X and another person wants Y and they're both on opposite ends of the spectrum it's important that we take into those ideas and adding it in to our modular
Monte: Making sure that a D&D wizard, or a D&D ranger feels like a D&D wizard/ranger is really important. Capturing that feel is one of the more difficult challenges because it's more ephemeral. It's difficult, but I think we've done a good job. When you get a chance to help in the playtest, hopefully you can let us know. (In response to a question: the ranger feels more like Aragorn than Drizzt).
Jeremy: We have talked about having advengtures that cater to very particular tastes - political intrigue or classic dungeon crawl. You can also have the sandbox adventure that is an environment with hooks, fleshed out NPCs, evocative locations, And it really becomes a canvas for players and DMs to paint on. Sometimes, I think that's the best approach for people who want to choose their own way, but sometimes it's better to give a more directed approach for people who need that.
Q: What's the targeted game that you would make for your table?
Monte: I would probably use miniatures, but I wouldn't necessarily want to get too tactical. For example, I would want rules for using a grid for movement around an encounter, but I wouldn't want to worry about too much detail. I would want there to be a lot of social interaction in my game and exploration. I would want those interaction to focus on player/character ingenuinity and descriptions of what they're doing instead of just rolling their dice and telling me what they got.
Mike: I like changing things up from session to session based on what's going on. I really want that flexibility.
Jeremy: I would want to have the flexibility to swing back and forth between mass battles and normal sized encounters, and for the rules to cover those kinds of things.
Q: How will multiclassing be handled? Will it go back to previous editions or be a feat tax?
Mike: We want to make it simple, but iconic class features need to be important as well. There are also packages we're looking at where characters can gain certain features or qualities that helps them branch out and feel like more of an individual or a real person.
Q: In the recent editions it looks like a lot of the player options have been narrowed down to things they can/can't do in the rules. Is this next iteration going to get away from that?
Monte: While having options in the rules is great, we want to open things up so players can get creative and ask to do things that are specifically covered by the rules. We want to empower DMs to with information in the DM guide and others resources to be able to handle those out of the box situations. So basically better gaming through better DM tools and DMing.
Q: Are the random tables going to make a return to D&D?
Monte: There are a few different groups that most DMs fall into, and one of those groups wants to have randomness or at least an easy way to drop something into the game. I do want to make sure that we have those random tables for support for those kinds of DMs.
Q: Is there a timetable as to when we can start playtesting?
Greg: The open playtest starts up sometime in the spring, and that's about all the information we have at this point.
Q: How easy is it to switch to different styles of gameplay with this modular approach depending on the play groups mood or progression of the story?
Mike: The idea is that, hoepfully if we do it right, that you can switch on the fly if you need to from one encounter/story bit to the next. Like maybe you can use miniatures and grid rules for this fight, but switch to some social modularity for the next bit. If we do it right that should be fairly easy.
Q: How are you addressing the specific needs of organized play, and how are we going to see that in the future.
Mike: What I imagine what you might see us doing is, so for our organized play game, here our the standard rules that characters and DMs will be using. It's important for us in an organized play environment that people know what we're getting in to. It's like what you've seen in LFR where there are accepted character options and players and DMs know what to expect.
Q: Do you expect one player to have fun with really stripped down rules and another player to have fun with controlling and doing bigger things?
Monte: Running a few playtests, I had at one long term table a guy who hadn't played since 1st editon, a guy who was more 3rd edtion and a guy who was recently in to 4th. The guy who hadn't played in 1st edition didn't want a lot of options. This solidified in my mind, along with the other evidence we've seen, that there are a lot of players who want to have very few options on their character sheet. As a game goes on, that guy might see some of the cool things that other classes are doing and might want to add some of those modular abilities. This is something that is easy to do and change as the character progresses - he can pick up some of those more modular options if he wants after that point.
Mike: The players will have the flexibility they want at the tables, so the other goal is to make sure the DM has the tools he needs to make sure the different characters/players have a chance to shine with whatever options they choose.
Jeremy: You can have two fighters that are very different at the same table, based on picking from the spectrum of complexity and options. You can have someone who is more just a sword and board, and another guy who focuses on combat maneuver options on the other end of complexity. It's about taking that spectrum we already have in the game and making it broader.
Q: Sometimes you have arguments at the table causing lulls or a character who has too many options and takes forever to act. Any plans on addressing these issues?
Monte: For the first one, we're going to give the DM a lot of tools to address players actions as well as rules discussions. We want to keep play moving quickly. The same goes for the player with too many options - we're planning on DM and player help to address as much of that as possible.
Mike: I think D&D needs to have elements of chaos in it. Sometimes that can be funny, or weird or off the wall. I think that's one of the places where the randomness of the d20 can come into play. I think that some of the recent history of the game has the designer buttoning down and eliminating some of that chaos, and we want to get away from that. It's the interactions between the DM, the players and the game that make it was it is, so we shouldn't stifle that.
Jeremy: the idea that this game is taking itself to seriously has crept into our art as well. I'll give an example - in the last two editions if you look at
the art, I think you'll see a lot of characters that look like super heroes. They all look like they've been to the gym recently, they don't have backpacks for traveling through the dungeon - the guys are well shaven. In our recent art we've added a more diverse, modular approach - you've got people that look vastly different. You'll have the halfling who's a bit overweight with some food stains on his clothes along side the more heroic look dashing sort.
Q: How are you guys going to provide iconic D&D experiences or having some awesome and interesting longer combats.
Mike: The first step there is defining what those iconic D&D experiences are, which is what we've been focusing on in a lot of these playtests. There's a lot
of room there between roleplay and smash and grab combat, and tactics.
Jeremy: we've seen a great range of tactical style and combat length in the playtest's so far, so our plan is to definitely have DMs and players be able to determine what kind of combats they want to have and have the right options to support those.
Q: What are you doing to make sure that each character/player feels useful in each part of the game?
Mike: It goes back to the three pillars and supporting the different kinds of play - we definitely are working on having DM and player tools and options in place so that characters are engaged. Example - you can have that master climber, but you want others to feel included and involved in whatever thing when that master climber gets to show off.
And that's the end. Tomorrow we'll be having a seminar on class design at 12:30 Eastern time. Thanks for coming.

I am happy I got fat halflings and Aragorn-style rangers back.
I'm not sure what else I can say for sure from all the news we got today.

Hmm. That all leaves me... kinda cold, really. A lot of fine-sounding words, but very short on specifics (understandably, of course).
The sooner we get to the playtest, the better. I need to see how this fits together.

Very excited to hear about the modest attack bonus increases! Hopefully this means they're taking measures to keep modifiers from ballooning out of control (at least until high levels).

|High VL. Should I start?
Aug 21, 2005
My CD4 is around 480 since march/2004. My VLs are: 153.000 (jan/2005), 93.500(feb/2005), 173.000 (jun/2005). Feeling well. Should I start medication?
Response from Dr. Pierone
With a CD4 count above 350 most authoritative guidelines would suggest that you wait, even though the viral load is on the high side. We are unsure of the proper time to start therapy, but the risk of waiting in your situation is quite low and this is accepted. The SMART study is comparing immediate to deferred therapy and is enrolling worldwide.

Hi all, i saw a very long sentence which made me very uncomfortable to understand everything in.
here it is: As strong as Masseria was, however, there were still a number of feudal aspects to what would evolve into the Cosa Nostra, and on top of the traditional tensions that existed between Sicilians and Neapolitans, the organization was fragmented by those who grouped themselves according to the particular village or region in Sicily or southern Italy from which they had emigrated.
Would you please help me out?
thanks in advance

Santa Barbara, Calif. -
The Schedule
Match No. 12
Friday, October 19, 2001 at 6:00 p.m.
UC Santa Barbara Gauchos vs. Cal Poly Mustangs
at UCSB's Harder Stadium
Match No. 13
Sunday, October 21, 2001 at 7:00 p.m.
UC Santa Barbara Gauchos vs. Cal State Northridge Matadors
at Matador Stadium
Might Of The Mustangs
UCSB will conclude its eight match homestand with central coast rival Cal Poly. The Mustangs enter the contest 1-7-1, 0-2 in Big West play. Cal Poly is also currently on a seven match losing streak. The Mustangs opened their Big West schedule last weekend with a 2-1 loss to UC Irvine and suffered a 1-0 shutout at the hands of Cal State Fullerton. Overall, UCSB has a 25-12-2 record against their Big West foe. However, the Gauchos were shutout 3-0 last season at Mustang Stadium. Cal Poly is led this season by James Newton, who has scored two goals in seven matches played. Goalkeeper Greg Blevins has posted a 2.60 goals allowed average, while notching 33 saves in seven matches.
Northridge Notes
Cal State Northridge played its first ever Big West conference match last weekend when it defeated UC Riverside 2-0. Now, the Matadors will face UCSB, with the teams boasting an even 7-7-2 all-time record. Cal State Northridge enters the week 6-2-2 with a victory over UC Riverside and a tie with Loyola Marymount coming last week. In their first Big West season, the Matadors have found a home in the statistics, leading the conference in points (43), goals per game (5.38), assists per game (1.62) and fouls per game (20). Their record also gives the Matadors the highest winning percentage in the Big West. Freshman Yossi Raz leads the Big West with six goals and one assist in eight matches played for a conference leading 13 points. Arshak Abyanli trails behind his teammate with two goals and three assists in eight matches. Abyanli and teammate Edwin Miranda also lead the Big West in assists with three apiece.
Gauchos Defeat Cal State Fullerton 3-2 In Conference Opener
UCSB opened their Big West conference schedule with a thrilling victory over pre-season favorite Cal State Fullerton. The Titans, who were last season's MPSF champions, took the lead early with two goals in the first 20 minutes of play. Despite being down 2-0 at halftime, the Gauchos rallied back behind the play of junior forward Rob Friend. Friend scored in the 47th minute and in the 58th minute to even the score at 2-2. In the 71st minute, Friend found Drew McAthy and fed him the game-winner. Senior forward Jaime Ambriz assisted on both of Friend's goals and Tony Lochhead also assisted on McAthy's game-winner. Goalkeeper Dan Kennedy allowed two goals and notched four saves.
UCSB Earns Third Tie Of Season, 2-2 With UC Irvine
After Friday night's stunning win, UCSB rallied from behind once again to tie with UC Irvine 2-2 in a double overtime contest. After a scoreless first period, the Gauchos scored their first goal in the 52nd minute when Neil Jones headed a Matt Kubota pass into the net. The Anteaters struck back less than a minute later and evened the score on a Jesse Peron goal. After UC Irvine took the lead in the 65th minute, it looked as though all was lost. However, senior defender Reuben Bates steered a Aaron McAthy tip into the net in the 88th minute to even the score once again. After 30 minutes of overime play, the score remained 2-2 at the completion of play. Forwards Jaime Ambriz and Rob Friend each took five shots in the contest to lead the Gauchos. Ambriz also assisted on Bates' goal. Goalkeeper Dan Kennedy notched three saves while allowing two goals in the match.

Guide of the month: January 2018
Traveling gives us the opportunity to disconnect from our regular life. You get to forget your problems/issues for a few weeks, it can also help you figure things out that you would not have understood without the distance traveling can give you. We all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, going away alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are for you. Like the saying says: we never know what we have until we lose it.
Another great benefit is the relaxation you get to do. It's nice to live life to its fullest and enjoy a stress free time with yourself. Going on vacation lets us recharge our "batteries" by disconnecting us from our regular life. When we come back we feel invigorated and we are happy to be back in our day to day routine. It's a very good stress remover that has a lot more to give than most people are willing to accept.
Traveling increases our knowledge and widens our perspective. To view new customs, different ways of living is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective about life and especially our life, it can help us change some of our habits or even create new ones. When I travel I usually make it a point to try new food, some cultures don't have fries in their diet and they are all skinny, others use spices to give taste and not oils or fats. Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting. You also need to visit exotic new places and discover what this wonderful world has to offer.

Jen's Rating:
Pity the intelligent moviegoer.
Who's In It: Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Patrick Wilson, Jessica Biel, Brian Bloom, Gerald McRaney
The Basics: Col. John "Hannibal" Smith (Liam Neeson) is the cigar-chomping leader of a band of wrongly imprisoned soldiers trying to clear their name. He loves it when a plan comes together, which he exclaims every ten minutes. Lt. Templeton "Face" Peck (Bradley Cooper) is his pretty boy second-in-command, who conveniently used to sleep with the hot Department of Defense officer (Jessica Biel) hell bent on taking the squad back in. Capt. H. M. "Howling Mad" Murdock (Sharlto Copley, doing a strange British-South African-Texan accent) is the maybe-clinically insane pilot they pick up at a mental hospital. And finally, Sgt. B. A. Baracus (Quinton "Rampage" Jackson) is the sturdy fella trying his hardest to be as cool as Mr. T, even though nobody is as cool as Mr. T. Together they are the A-Team, whether you like it or not.
What's The Deal: Joe Carnahan, the guy who made the insanely entertaining assassin shoot-out Smokin' Aces, takes the basics of the beefy post-Vietnam action series' premise and characters and dumps them into an explosion-y adventure made up of silly set pieces, a superficially complex plot, and plenty of clever one-liners – a combination that'll do the job if you're looking for the kind of mindless summer popcorn flick in which guys surf down skyscrapers and try to fly a tank. This is a movie where Bradley Cooper's uber-sexy shirtlessness tries to distract us from the fact that his character has about two degrees of complexity, and in that it succeeds smashingly. You won't remember the silly plot details, but Cooper's tan abs and flirty smiles will linger.
Mindlessness Over Matter: Don't let the film's Iraq war setting fool you; Carnahan may have some subtextural statement to make on Middle Eastern politics and soldiers suffering for the greed and corruption of government figures, but he's slightly more concerned about delivering enough bombastic set pieces to carry his maniacal adventure through to the end. The only reason it opens during the American withdrawal from Iraq is to set up a scenario in which the guys get framed and have to go after a briefcase of stolen treasury printing plates. And really, the only reason they're after the briefcase full of printing plates is so that Hannibal can rappel along the windows of a 30-story building while getting shot at by a dozen bad guys whose bullets all magically fail to kill him. Incidentally, the window pane and machine gun budgets on this $110 million movie must have been huge.
Least Convincing Example Of CGI: Carnahan's slick action scenes are done practically at first, but as the film goes on things get increasingly and distractingly pixel heavy. That trend culminates in the big finale, in which Quinton "Rampage" Jackson dances around in front of a green screen while a cargo ship's load of computerized holding cars falls like building blocks around him. Only slightly less annoying is the other CG-heavy scene, in which Bradley Cooper sticks his head out of the top of a parachuting tank to gleefully machine-gun a pair of Predator drones.
Most Unexpected/Inappropriate Use Of Philosophical Teachings To Get Someone In A Killing Mood: When Hannibal shakes B.A. out of his recent conversion to non-violence by quoting a passage from Gandhi. A pro-violence quote from Gandhi. Before too long, B.A.'s mohawk and mojo return and he's back to cracking spines -- you know, just like Gandhi used to do.

I am using Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit. I need to perform some database benchmarks on my computer so I want to make it in strict terminal mode, without desktop. I know I can
ctrl-alt-f1 to go to terminal mode, but there is still graphical desktop running in background. (Using CPU and RAM which I do not want it to).
So please help me to kill all graphical components and switch to only terminal mode (for better performance). I will not need multiple users to be able to log in and do not need to have networking (all benchmarks will be on
localhost interface).

Atheros madwifi times out and hangs system
I just installed debian linux on my system with a mini-pci atheros chipset wireless card. The drivers compiled just fine, but the problem is the ping to he wireless interface times out every 15/16 attempts....something like this,
15/16 successful ping attempts
5/6 Request timed out
This pattern repeats. The problem is, the system hangs periodically and is non responsive, and this part exactly coincides with the time when the ping requests are failing. My iwconfig and /etc/network/interfaces files are as follows,

Jake Long once was considered a franchise cornerstone for the Miami Dolphins. Is that still the case?
The four-time Pro Bowl left tackle struggled with injuries and inconsistency in his fifth NFL season, and he's eligible to become a free agent in March. Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland said Tuesday he would "love" to have Long back, but acknowledged "it's a very complex negotiation."
"Jake has a decision to make, we have a decision to make," Ireland said from the Senior Bowl, via the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "It's a very, very difficult decision, complicated negotiation."
Ireland called this offseason difficult because he has players he "once believed in" who might no longer fit in the Dolphins' scheme. He said the roster remains in transition one year after Ireland hired coach Joe Philbin to replace Tony Sparano.
"When you go from Tony Sparano to Joe Philbin, there isn't only a schematic difference, but a personality difference," Ireland said.
Long was an ideal fit for Sparano's scheme, especially when he was playing at a superior level. When asked if Long was still "elite," Ireland would only say, "he can still play in this league for sure." He acknowledged he wouldn't use the e-word during negotiations.
Relive every game this season online and on-demand with enhanced viewing features, including the "All-22" coaches film. Get NFL Game Rewind.
One name to keep in mind during this process is Jonathan Martin, the rookie offensive tackle who filled in admirably after Long landed on injured reserve with a triceps injury. If the Dolphins believe Martin can handle left tackle on a regular basis -- as he did in college at Stanford -- it gives them huge leverage in negotiations.

In a day that seems filled with Windows Phone updates, the photography app Soviet Kam joins the update list by getting bumped to version 2.0. Soviet Kam is a camera app that turns your Windows Phone 8 camera into a Soviet era camera. Soviet Kam has a variety of film, lenses and flash settings that gives your photos an antique feel. So what's new with the update?
The update speeds up the picture capturing and development, allows for re-development of photos and adds a shake the camera feature that will randomly select your effects settings.
While photo shooting and development has gotten a smidgen faster, it still takes a bit for the effects to load as you change or launch the app. The redevelopment feature allows you to change the film, lens and flash settings when you pull them up in the photo gallery. The re-development feature will only work with photos taken with version 2.0. Images captured under previous versions can't be altered.
The shake the camera" feature lets the app randomly select the effects when you... well... shake the camera. It's a nice feature when you just can't decide on an effects setting.
Soviet Kam is a nice addition to your Windows Phone photography app library. There is a free trial version to let you try Soviet Kam out. The full version of Soviet Kam is running $1.99 and you can find it all here at the Windows Phone Store.

The Bill (1984): Season 1
You can watch The Bill on Jomovies.com... The Bill is a police procedural television series that was broadcast on the ITV network from 16 October 1984 until 31 August 2010. The programme originated from a one-off drama, entitled Woodentop, which was broadcast in August 1983. In its final year on air, The Bill was broadcast once a week, usually on Tuesdays or Thursdays, in a one-hour format. The programme focused on the lives and work of one shift of police officers, rather than on any particular aspect of police work. At the time of the series' conclusion, The Bill was the longest-running police procedural television series in the United Kingdom, and was among the longest-running of any British television series. The series was produced by Thames Television. The series name originated from "Old Bill", a slang term for the police. This was also Geoff McQueen's original title idea for the series, before he eventually decided on "The Bill". Although highly acclaimed amongst fans and critics alike, the series attracted controversy on several occasions. An episode broadcast in 2008 was criticised for featuring fictional treatment for multiple sclerosis, and another episode in the same year resulted in litigation, submitted by MP George Galloway for defamation. The series has also faced more general criticism, concerning the levels of violence it portrays, particularly prior to 2009, when it occupied a pre-watershed slot. During its time on air, The Bill won several awards, including BAFTAs, a Writers' Guild of Great Britain award and the title of "best drama" at the Inside Soap Awards in 2009, the latter being the series' fourth consecutive win. Throughout its twenty-seven-year run, the programme was always broadcast on the main ITV network. In later years, episodes of the show were repeated on ITV3 on their week of broadcast. The series has also been repeated on other digital stations, including UKTV Gold, Alibi, Watch and UKTV G2. In March 2010, executives at ITV announced that the network did not intend to recommission The Bill, and that filming on the series would cease on 14 June 2010. The last ever episode of the series was aired on 31 August 2010.. The so awaited release of The Bill was on 1984-10-16 and it has a total duration of 25 minutes. You can watch full movies using services like Netflix, hulu, HBO, torrent etc.

Jhumpa Lahiri discusses her Man Booker shortlisted novel
The Lowland
From Subhash's earliest memories, at every point, his brother was there. In the suburban streets of Calcutta where they wandered before dusk and in the hyacinth-strewn ponds where they played for hours on end, Udayan was always in his older brother's sight.
So close in age, they were inseparable in childhood and yet, as the years pass — as U.S tanks roll into Vietnam and riots sweep across India — their brotherly bond can do nothing to forestall the tragedy that will upend their lives. Udayan — charismatic and impulsive — finds himself drawn to the Naxalite movement, a rebellion waged to eradicate inequity and poverty. He will give everything, risk all, for what he believes, and in doing so will transform the futures of those dearest to him: his newly married, pregnant wife, his brother and their parents. For all of them, the repercussions of his actions will reverberate across continents and seep through the generations that follow.
Epic in its canvas and intimate in its portrayal of lives undone and forged anew,
The Lowland
is a deeply felt novel of family ties that entangle and fray in ways unforeseen and unrevealed, of ties that ineluctably define who we are. With all the hallmarks of Jhumpa Lahiri's achingly poignant, exquisitely empathetic story-telling, this is her most devastating work of fiction to date.

Now, the authoritative history and magic of the game is revealed by an award-winning journalist and life-long dungeon master.

Ladd Biro | Backup QBs could cause fantasy headaches
Sunday of Week 10 will likely be remembered as the day a trio of starting quarterbacks was knocked out – almost literally – with concussions.
Michael Vick exited first, giving many Philly fans what they'd be asking for – Nick Foles – though presumably not in the manner they intended. With news that Vick's concussion is of the "significant" variety, and with the direction his franchise appears to be headed, it's conceivable that the once-elite quarterback has taken his last snap as an Eagle.
A continent away, Alex Smith took a shot while scrambling that eventually sent him to the locker room. His concussion appears to be milder than Vick's, though that doesn't mean he won't be held out a game or two for precautionary reasons.
The hit parade continued Sunday night when Jay Cutler was forced from the Texans contest with a concussion all his own. Again, it's too soon to know his status for Week 11 and beyond, but it would be no surprise if all three passers are spectators next weekend.
Unlike the typical reaction to an injured starting running back, there should be no rush to acquire backups Nick Foles (Eagles), Colin Kaepernick (49ers) or Jason Campbell (Bears). Foles and Kaepernick are simply too green to trust, while Campbell's best days (such as they were) are well behind him.
The bigger concern is how the players on the other end of the passes will fare with their starting QBs sidelined. Though Vick has struggled all season, both DeSean Jackson and, when healthy, Jeremy Maclin have been fairly reliable receiving options. With rookie Foles at the helm, both will likely take a hit to their value.
The bigger impact could be felt by LeSean McCoy, who will surely draw the lion's share of opposing defenses' attention with Vick out of the picture.
The fleet-footed Kaepernick could affect Frank Gore in a different way – by poaching even more of his TD runs. Michael Crabtree was already a borderline starter with Smith under center, so his status is little changed. Vernon Davis is struggling through a four-game slump and can't be trusted right now anyway.
Perhaps Brandon Marshall's owners should be most concerned. Campbell, who most recently flamed out in Oakland, is fortunate to still wear an NFL jersey. He's in for a rude awakening when the Bears head to San Francisco next Monday night. Though Marshall should remain a fixture in every starting lineup, that could be one ugly primetime affair.
To win a fantasy championship, it helps to start with a great draft. But filling in your roster throughout the season with the right free agents is also important. Here's a look at players worth considering, and others who would look better in someone else's lineup.
Catch 'em while you can
Chris Ivory, RB, Saints. If you watched his 56-yard scoring jaunt against the Falcons, you know Ivory has skills. You can bet the Saints know it, too, which is why Pierre Thomas was a bit player on Sunday. While Darren Sproles is sidelined, Ivory will get plenty more chances to soar, even if Mark Ingram gets a majority of the carries.
Danario Alexander, WR, Chargers. The former Ram has good size and speed, but he can't stay intact. Recently acquired as a free agent, Alexander has quickly vaulted past Robert Meachem in the wideout pecking order. He is developing a good chemistry with Philip Rivers, so more positive returns may be on the horizon, if he can just stay healthy.
Greg Olsen, TE, Panthers. You just missed Olsen's first 100-yard outing and his best fantasy performance since mid-2009. It came against a Broncos defense that has surrendered the second-most fantasy points per game to tight ends, so temper your expectations. But with a very favorable schedule ahead, including Week 11 against Tampa Bay, Olsen offers more red-zone upside.
Don't be fooled
Jarius Wright, WR, Vikings. The rookie collected 65 yards and a score on three receptions in place of the injured Percy Harvin. Before you invest in Wright's stock, though, remember that he's saddled with an inconsistent quarterback, and his targets will be even fewer once Harvin returns, most likely after the team's Week 11 bye.
Golden Tate, WR, Seahawks. With 3 TDs over the past two weeks, Tate has vaulted onto the fantasy radar. But the Seahawks are heading into their bye, followed by a two-game road trip; and his rookie quarterback, Russell Wilson, has been unable to replicate his homespun heroics on the road. It could be a while before Tate revisits the end zone.

Let's start here, with a question from the website Wall Street Parade:
The public, and Congress, have a pressing need to question how a law firm that was cited by a U.S. District Court, an Appellate Court and the U.S. Supreme Court as playing a central role in coordinating the illegal activity of Big Tobacco – activity that callously harmed the health and welfare of both children and adults, ended up sending three of its lawyers to the top slots at the Nation's highest law enforcement office.
Both Eric Holder, the U.S. Attorney General, and Lanny Breuer, the Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division were Covington & Burling partners before they joined the Justice Department. Dan Suleiman, who also worked at Covington and Burling, became the new deputy chief of staff and counselor to Lanny Breuer on July 16 of this year. Since 2008, employees of Covington & Burling have contributed $347,951 to President Obama's campaigns.
In the past, Covington & Burling's clients have included Monsanto, Union Pacific, Merck, Warner-Lambert, Eli Lilly, Turner Broadcasting, IBM, General Motors, BankBoston Corporation, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Blackwater (Xe), Chiquita Bananas (in which Eric Holder defended the company against a lawsuit brought by families of individuals slain by Colombian paramilitary groups receiving money from Chiquita), the Southern Peru Copper Company (accused of human rights violations and pollution) among a bevy of other mega-financial and corporate entities.
Among this list, it is important to remember that Covington & Burling received a lacerating critique from a federal judge in 2006 for its long-term representation of the Tobacco Institute and Philip Morris. Judge Gladys Kessler of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia reprimanded attorneys for not just representing Big Tobacco, but for taking part in a conspiracy to deceive the public and regulators:
Finally, a word must be said about the role of lawyers in this fifty-year history of deceiving smokers, potential smokers, and the American public about the hazards of smoking and second hand smoke, and the addictiveness of nicotine. At every stage, lawyers played an absolutely central role in the creation and perpetuation of the Enterprise and the implementation of its fraudulent schemes. They devised and coordinated both national and international strategy; they directed scientists as to what research they should and should not undertake; they vetted scientific research papers and reports as well as public relations materials to ensure that the interests of the Enterprise would be protected; they identified 'friendly' scientific witnesses, subsidized them with grants from the Center for Tobacco Research and the Center for Indoor Air Research, paid them enormous fees, and often hid the relationship between those witnesses and the industry; and they devised and carried out document destruction policies and took shelter behind baseless assertions of the attorney client privilege.
Wall Street on Parade discusses Judge Kessler's ruling:
The Court stated in footnote that "Despite the apparent conflict of interest, a few law firms, particularly Covington & Burling and Shook, Hardy & Bacon, represented the shared interests of all the Defendants and coordinated a significant part of the Enterprise's activities."
The Court further noted in a footnote that wrongdoing on the part of lawyers for the tobacco industry appeared to be continuing into the present. The Court made the following findings specific to Covington & Burling, the law firm that has three top posts in today's U.S. Justice Department.
On Covington & Burling's website, it describes its fields of expertise on a page called "firm overview," some of the fields are excerpted below:
At the trial level, Covington litigators in recent years have prevailed in jury trials involving claims as diverse as employment discrimination, complex insurance disputes, antitrust and international commercial disputes.
In the corporate, tax and benefits area, we take a multi-disciplinary approach, resulting in an ability to deliver innovative and creative solutions. Clients benefit from the collaboration of teams of lawyers having expertise in mergers and acquisitions, securities, finance, corporate governance, tax and benefits, bankruptcy and real estate.
Our regulatory lawyers are recognized as experts in their fields and regularly combine their talents on behalf of the world's top financial institutions, pharmaceutical and life sciences companies, telecommunications and technology companies, utilities, railroads, sports leagues and consumer goods companies, among others.
Breuer is soon to leave the Department of Justice, as reported in the BuzzFlash at Truthout's commentary yesterday.
Admittedly, the revolving door between ultra-rich white collar defense attorneys and prosecutors is quite common in government. But the Covington & Burling triple play at the Department of Justice should have set off a special alarm Of course, in Washington DC, the mainstream media just regards the elite -- whether on the government or corporate/financial side -- as the enviable insiders who the journalists would rarely think of upsetting due to their own career and social status goals.
Covington & Burling is the modern day adjunct to global corporations; the global law firm to service those global corporations, with offices around the world including Beijing, London, Seoul, Silicon Valley, Washington, New York, Shanghai and Brussels among other locations.
To be an attorney, and particularly a partner (which both Holder and Breuer were – and possibly will be again in the future), at Covington & Burling, you have to be among the legal elite with the sharpest strategies for protecting the interests of clients and have the keenest of legal minds. When you are hired by Covington & Burling, you enter the corporate legal pantheon – and are compensated accordingly.
That is why the excuses that the Covington & Burlington three who are ultimately responsible for criminal prosecution ring hollow when it comes to why they did not prosecute Wall Street executives.
If they couldn't make a case against the guys who brought the US economy to its knees by allowing fraudulent mortgage selling schemes, sketchy hedge funding, false reporting to the government and stockholders, and overselling junk mortgages, then why were they senior attorneys at Covington & Burling?
If they couldn't indict and convict Wall Street CEOs or higher ups of violating at least the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, then one has to ask why any corporation or financial firm would hire them? Because cases under Sarbanes-Oxley (which provides civil and criminal punishment for fraud and violations of transparency to stockholders, the government, etc.) -- given what happened on Wall Street -- appear pretty much to have been a slam dunk were they pursued.
The Covington & Burling trio (including Holder) at the DOJ didn't lack the skill set to prosecute Wall Street executives; they chose not to.
That choice was a dereliction of duty to the American people.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Ottawa SenatorsNHL.com @NHLdotcom
GAME: Toronto Maple Leafs (29-14-8-3) at Ottawa Senators (28-15-7-3).
TIME: Thursday, 7:30 p.m. EST.
The rivalry between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators seems to intensify every time they face each other.
Toronto and Ottawa continue their battle for first place in the Northeast Division when they meet for the second time in six days.
Senators forward Daniel Alfredsson enraged the Leafs after he broke his stick in Ottawa's 7-1 rout of Toronto on Jan. 8 and faked throwing it in the stands.
The Senators captain was poking fun at Toronto captain Mats Sundin, who was suspended for throwing his broken stick into the stands against the Nashville Predators on Jan. 6.
"I don't want to comment on that guy. I lost a lot of respect for him," Toronto's Tie Domi said of Alfredsson.
The Leafs avenged that loss with a 5-1 win over Ottawa on Saturday in a very physical game.
Domi received five penalties with 25 seconds left in the game, including a game misconduct and an unsportsmanlike conduct for instigating a fight with Ottawa's Shaun Van Allen.
Domi was angered that Alfredsson kneed Sundin late in the third. He also didn't like that Van Allen whacked Sundin and goalie Ed Belfour with his stick.
"We didn't try to hurt any of their guys. We didn't try do anything stupid. Those things were uncalled for," Domi said.
Van Allen said Domi "gouged his eyes."
"They can say whatever they want. I didn't gouge anybody. I've been in this league a long time, over 3,000 penalty minutes, I've never gouged a guy in my whole career," said Domi, who took exception to Van Allen's jaw protector.
"He thinks he's untouchable because he wears something around his chin. If he's going to play the way he does, and go after our best players, and butt-end our captain and spear our goalie, he better be expecting something to come."
Toronto leads the Northeast with 69 points, the Boston Bruins are in second place with 67 while Ottawa is three points behind the Leafs in third.
Toronto could be without Belfour, who sat out Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks because of a sore back. If Belfour can't play, Trevor Kidd will start and Mikael Tellqvist will serve as the backup.
Ottawa suffered its third loss in four games on Tuesday, falling 2-1 to the New Jersey Devils.
Toronto has won two of three against Ottawa this season after winning just three times in the previous 16 meetings.

Consider the following example:
$C$ is a category each of whose Hom-sets is partially ordered. Let $f$, $g$, and $h$ are morphisms of this category. Consider the formula: $g\circ f \ge h$.
Intuition suggests that from this formula it follows:
- $f$ and $g$ are composable that is the destination of $f$ is the source of $g$.
- $g\circ f$ and $h$ lie in the same Hom-set, that is the source of $f$ is the same as the source of $h$ and destination of $g$ is the same as the destination of $h$.
So, intuition suggests that these conditions 1 and 2 follow from the formula. But can we define it formally, in order not to say explicitly that these equalities (1 and 2) of sources and destination hold? It is very boring to formulate such conditions explicitly in every statement about morphisms in a category.
