4 A zombie fanatic's dream come truePosted: 10/10/2007First off, I disagree with anyone claiming this game is a waste of money - it isn't. I've had it for a long time, but only just recently played it properly and I'm completely hooked. I am a big fan of zombie films so I might be a bit prejudiced, but still, I will recommend it to anyone that likes free-roaming games with lots of surprises.There's a few things about Dead Rising that make it great: the vast size of the mall (it's kinda like playing GTA but in a mall, basically), the number of zombies you get on the screen at once without any sign of lag, the freedom to use just about anything as a weapon, and the characters. The graphics too, even though not revolutionary are crisp and clear.The boss fights are hilarious, and the psychopaths are excellent, and quite creepy at times too. The 'acting' is brilliant in comparison to a lot of games, and most of the time it really does feel like you're playing in Dawn of the Dead. But of course there are problems, even though I wouldn't say they're too serious.The save method is annoying, as there's not many places to actually save, but I feel it can be a benefit too. Yes, you can actually save the game at a point that makes it impossible to complete the story, but it's part of the challenge and you just need to plan the game out more, rather than saving without thinking about it. Also, returning survivors to the security room is a real pain, since it takes a lot of time and uses a lot of your weaponry and health, just to get right near your destination and have the survivor swamped by zombies and eaten alive.But putting small faults aside, Dead Rising is a brilliant free roaming horror fest that covers a lot of ground that Resident Evil hasn't (plus, it has a much better zombie movie feel to it that Resident Evil seems to have almost completely strayed away from). If you like zombies, and survival horror games, but prefer to play seriously, buy Resident Evil 4. If you like the above, but also like to have a lot of fun with your gaming, buy this.Dead Rising, in a way, is the Mario Kart of the survival horror genre, and a damn good game too.
5 MovingPosted: 07/09/2007I myself am a bit of a critic, but I'm never harsh for the sake of being harsh. If I watch something that really affects me then I'll write about it.This film affected me. I'd seen clips, heard reviews and expected a lot, and I have to admit it was definitely what I expected. Arguably it's very disturbing, but that's all part of the quality of the film. I enjoy films that have emotional consequences from watching them, and this is one of them. A lot of decent British films always succeed in creating a genuinely disturbing atmosphere; something that most Hollywood blockbusters can't even touch upon.This Is England is a brilliant film. If you're one of those overly P.C people that refuses to touch anything with a racial reference, don't watch this film (even though it does show the dark side of a racist society and not encourage it, a lot of people are too naive to actually realise this). The acting is spot on, and very convincing, and also quite un-nerving in places. Thomas Turgoose is the undoubted star of the film as Shaun, and Stephen Graham is terrifying as racist National Front skinhead Combo.In places this film made me happy, sad, shocked, nervous and in points, borderline choked up. That to me makes a good film
5 The only Popeye boxset you should ever ownPosted: 30/08/2007Words cannot describe how great this boxset is. Don't waste your money buying any other Popeye DVD... this is the one you'll want. The first of 2 boxsets full with classic black and white Fleischer Popeye cartoons from the 1930s. All cartoons are completely restored and unedited from the original masters, and nothing is cut out or changed to suit today's highly politically-correct obsessed society.The cartoons are brilliant, I've always loved them, and to be able to own them on DVD finally is fantastic. Of course the only downside is that this is a Region 1 boxset and probably won't ever be released for UK DVD players, but if like me you a Popeye fan and are able to play any region DVD, you are in luck.Buy it, you won't regret it.
4 A welcome return... sort ofPosted: 30/08/2007To start with, I don't agree with anybody who says this film is boring, or not funny. Arguably it's not quite the TV series but that isn't going to happen with a big budget film. Let's face it, unless Rowan gets younger and suddenly Bean inspired, the Bean TV series died out ages ago.Secondly, I'd like to say that this film does definitely have its funny moments. I find it VERY entertaining to watch, and where it loses out on the classic Mr Bean hilarious moments, it makes up for them with scenes that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside (so to speak).Another point is that this film, despite what people say shows Bean much more as his old self than in Bean the Movie. He rarely speaks, and when he does, he utters the same repetitive phrases, or silly noises. This is the Bean I remembered... not the speech giving, singing 'Dr Bean' from the first film. Still, Bean has evolved to so speak, and some people don't like that. I for one loved the film, despite the obvious changes from the old Bean (Rowan said himself in the extras that he was struggling to keep up with the role sometimes).All in all, a great, funny and moving film for Bean fans and Bean newbies alike. The only reason that I missed out a star was that I felt the ending was too short and pretty irrelevant, but I'll not give any more away.
3 Not as bad as it looksPosted: 25/07/2007This is one of those DVDs that I've seen in the shops a few times but steered well clear of because of how tacky it looks. The case cover is poorly printed, the title looks off, it just looks awful. But for around £20, being a B-Movie enthusiast I found it to be a good price. Most (if not all) of these films are available seperately from the 'Dead of Night Collection' for about £5 a piece, and this collection gives you 10 of them in one package.The presentation is one reason I missed a star, the other reason is that these films really are awful to most people's standards. They're mostly tacky, and badly acted and dubbed in places. But if like me you enjoy tacky, gorey, laughable horror flicks then you might just enjoy this. I bought it mostly for the first film "Birds of Prey (AKA "Beaks The Movie" - what a name!), which is basically a badly dubbed, overly gorey rip off of Hitchcock's "The Birds". Funny stuff, and actually surprisingly watchable.I'd recommend this to real tacky B-Movie lovers. Otherwise, steer well clear.
5 A better, evolved soundPosted: 15/07/2007Despite what some, ok most people say about Papa Roach, this album is a sign that no matter what stereotype gets thrown at them, they're still an evolving band. The Paramour Sessions is Papa Roach's most mature sound yet, and musically it's a fantastic album.I disagree with comments on Jacoby's vocals. He is sounding the best that he ever has on this album. Infact all the band are top notch, and have improved in a lot of ways. Some of the tracks are less grabbing, but there isn't a bad track on this album, not one. The best in my opinion being "My Heart is a Fist" - an extremely powerful and moving song, which I hate to admit, is something I'd come not to expect from Papa Roach after their last album.All in all it's a brilliant album for metal, rock and Papa Roach fans alike. It's different to their other albums, but has some clean influences left over from "Getting Away With Murder", but vastly improved. The fans that weren't too fond of the 'pop' sound of Scars will be glad to know that the mellow tracks on this album are much deeper, and less, well, 'Scars-like'.Buy it, you can't go wrong getting a fantastic album at this price. It's vastly under promoted and under rated, and deserves more recognition than it gets. This is a band that is constantly snubbed by a lot of people because of their past nu-metal influences. Remember, music does evolve, and this is a perfect example.

Saturday, September 03
Memorial Stadium
Attendance: 45,154
Champaign, IL (Sports Network) - Illinois sophomore quarterback Nathan Scheelhaasse threw for 267 yards and two touchdowns, and the Fighting Illini defense forced three turnovers en route to a 33-15 win over Arkansas State in non-conference action.
It took awhile for Illinois (1-0) to find its stride against Arkansas State (0-1), who pieced together a lead in the second quarter after a safety and two field goals. The Illinois offense came to life in the late stages of the second quarter however, reeling off ten straight points in the final two minutes to take command of the game.
Illinois running back Jason Ford rushed for a 15-yard touchdown with 2:06 left in the first quarter - but Ford was stuffed for a safety by Arkansas State defensive end Draper Amos in the early stages of the second stanza to make it 7-2.
The Red Wolves defense stalled Scheelhaasse and the Illinois attack for most of the second quarter, and were able to convert two long field goals by two different kickers - as Bobby Zalud hit a 49-yarder and Brian Davis connected on a 47-yarder with 2:50 seconds left to give Arkansas State a 8-7 lead.
But any visions of an upset for the Red Wolves ended there. Scheelhaasse took the Fighting Illini 80 yards in five plays on the next drive, capped by a 45- yard touchdown pass to Darius Millines.
Arkansas State Ryan Aplin threw an interception to Trulon Henry on the first play of the following drive, and Illinois capitalized with a 32-yard field goal by Derek Dimke to make it 17-8 heading into halftime.
Scheelhaasse found A.J. Jenkins for a 72-yard touchdown on the second play of the second half, and the rout was on. Jenkins finished with 11 catches and 148 yards, while Millines chipped in 119 yards on five catches.
Arkansas State's offense was stonewalled for most of the second half second half and an Aplin fumble midway through the quarter hurt a comeback bid. Ford scored his second touchdown of the day at the 5:44 mark of the third quarter, and Dimke made it 33-8 with just over seven minutes to play in the fourth. Arkansas State rounded out the scoring as Frankie Jackson scored from one-yard out with 3:20 left in the game.
Ford finished with 86 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries, as Illinois amassed 202 yards rushing. Arkansas State mustered just 60 yards on the ground.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Curtis Paper Mill (also known as the Nonantum Mill) was a factory located near White Clay Creek in Newark, Delaware. Although a mill had existed on the site since the late eighteenth century, the final structure was built in 1870. The Curtis brothers bought the plant in 1848. Although the plant is usually referred to in Newark as the Curtis Paper Mill, the actual name is Nonantum Mill, referring to an Indian name for the area of Newton, Massachusetts, the Curtises' hometown.
The plant had the distinction of manufacturing the paper on which several of the peace treaties ending World War II were signed.
The James River Corporation eventually purchased the plant, but closed it in 1997 as they consolidated their operations. It sat empty for several years and was eventually fenced off to prevent trespassing.
The main entrance to the plant and much of the front office were removed in 2002. In October 2007 demolition work began on the rest of the factory and was completed by December. The red brick smokestack bearing the 'Curtis' name was the only remaining structure from the mill until March 1st, 2013 when it was demolished and removed. All of the original site buildings are now gone.
Today, the mill and adjacent land south to the creek are designated as a municipal park. The millrace path includes state park land and passes through the City of Newark's Coverdale Park. Small numbers of people hike along the millrace path or fish in the settling ponds.
Despite the closure of the facility, elements of the plant are still in use. The plant's settling ponds-originally used for cleaning waste water before returning it to White Clay Creek-were turned over to the City of Newark, which put them to use as part of a water treatment plant built nearby. Similarly, the plant's millrace (a long, thin canal that draws water from White Clay Creek) is now used to bring water to the treatment plant.

Reader comments are listed below. Comments are currently closed and new comments are no longer being accepted.
Dear Theopolis:
Terms such as "intelligence" and "reality" are so asymptotic in nature that the closer you have arrived to an understanding of them, the more illusive they are.
I recall Franklin Roosevelt's comment to his son Elliot who had decided to become a Republican. He did, as I have done with family members who have chosen to become Democrats. He praised his son for thinking about his political ideas and coming to conclusions otherwise. I don't think that Elliot hated his father because they didn't share the same political opinions.
In addition, I cannot help but think about the long and friendly relationship between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. The issues in that 1800 race would make those in contention today pale into insignificance.
I have often quoted Jefferson's comments regarding that election in his First Inaugural Address:
"We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists. If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Union or to change its republican form, let him stand undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it."
Here we are now in this international forum expressing our contrary views, a sign of Jefferson's success.
I take issue with you, not for your opinions but, your lack of respect. You mentioned Sarah Palin's gaff about North Korea but you have failed to mention President Obama's visitation of all 57 states and his pronunciation of Corps as if he were refering to the dearly deaparted. There have been many more. Actually these mistakes humanize our leaders, making them more endearing because we all make them including a plethora of Freudian slips.
Sarah Palin's struggles through college are reflective of many people who struggle with decisions about their life. My Bachelor's degree was inclusive of work from three universites, several colleges and with a total of 220 credits. My family has not recovered yet from the shock of your's truly receiving a master's degree within two years. At 69, I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up. I am still contemplating how I am going to get that Ph.D. As The British say, "...respect and kindness don't cost anything." Give them a go!
Kind regards,
It is not the qualities of Sarah Palin that have made her so popular, it is an ignorant audience. I can not believe you can even consider her as a serious contender to the presidency...In a first world country (educated) somebody like Palin would never be popular in politics. Palin's candidacy would make Obama's next election a 'walk in the park'!
WHY does the media insist on promoting this ignorant and shallow personality whilst at the same time acknowledging her unsuitability as a public representative? She feeds off such publicity which the media, particularly for some sadomasochistic reason that on the left, provides. The Economist is to be praised for standing up to Berlusconi- why is it indulging this nonentity?
Hail to the incoming Chief mainly owing to the incompetence manifest in the Obama regime.
In fairness to Palin, her comment on North Korea was a slip of the tongue.
As a Liberal/centrist (or a communist in Texas!!) I will give her the benefit of the doubt on that one (I heard the full interview)
I am seeing a lot of name-calling and little if any substance regarding Sarah Palin. I think this overwhelming negative response has misogynistic overtones. I have noticed how The Left and other Social Engineering types have wanted women to be assertive only if they maintain political views which remain in the realm of The Politically Correct. Such behavior is indicative of the truly biased nature of a so-called Liberalism which is not Liberal at all. They merely want to conserve different traditions than conservatives which are more traditional. Hayek portrays this position well in his, Why I am not a Conservative. Those of us, who are Clasical Liberals find ourselves more comfortable with Republicans and Toreys because we know our basic freedoms will be protected.
Thornton1, Economurph, Fleetian,
Thank you for providing the first intelligent, balanced and thoughtful comments on the article for a very long time. Having scrolled through miles of knee-jerk leftist (fairly personal) abuse of Mrs Palin, your comments and dialogue came as a breath of fresh air.
I have nothing against leftist comments - being the classical liberal that I am. It's the knee-jerk and abusive nature of most of them that add nothing to the topic that bothers me.
Economist, I know it takes money but can't you moderate or at least monitor the comments here? As someone with little time to look at these comments I'd really appreciate seeing only substantive comments and would rather not wade for miles through pages of mindless diatribe.
My two cents on the article: People in the US (like in most democracies) vote for someone they believe they can trust and someone they believe they would like if they met in person. They probably want someone in the job that they feel would act as they would in a given set of circumstances.
A deep knowledge of economics, geopolitics or strategy doesn't come into it. This is part of the genius of democracy. A president's sucess or failure in the role hinges not on his/her personal knowledge of geopolitics etc - that knowledge is on tap to the president from his/her advisors and civil servants - it hinges on making the right judgment calls.
Regan got the USSR one very right - in a way it defined how his presidency has been seen since. GW Bush although undoubtedly a sincere man, probably more intelligent than he ever gets credit for, made some poor calls and won't be forgotten for it. Looked at this way Obama vs Palin gives Palin much more likelihood to Palin than is normally assumed.
Thank you for you civil comments. I share your view, along with Reagan, that there must be a safety net for the truly needy. He often said that if the private sector wouldn't provide a way and means, government was the only recourse. I do believe that the "can do" message is for many who would allow themselves to be thrown overboard. Even the wealthy need help along the way at times.
If you understand the history of The GOP, you know it was the first to have an Equal Right Ammendment as part of its platform and that the 1965 Civil Rights Bill would not have passed without Republican support. Many are surpised that the famous William Fulbright, Jr. opposed that legislation and that he was among the Boll Weevils and Dixiecrats who fought it. There was the ADA on the other extreme, people with whom JFK felt uncomfortable.
Yes, I am aware of Goldwater and Nixon's subsequent Southern Strategy and that The John Birch Society, The Religious Right and now The Tea Party have been influences on the GOP. Movements within parties are part of the process much like The Oxford among others in Britain. Interest groups are an inherent factor within a democracy. I sometimes wonder about what is all the fuss?
Sarah Palin is the Danica Patrick of America's Race to the Bottom.
Reluctant Polutter,
Not sure what your point is. If Ms. Palin wants to earn money and has the opportunity then God bless her. With the resignation though, it does look like she is cashing in on some strange sort of fame, which interestingly seems to have revenue generating power since her selection as a Vice President candidate.
And if the earnings are remotely true, well she is way ahead of 95% plus of Americans.
However you want to spin it, she doesn't appear a credible Presidential candidate, seems to still lack a grasp of key political issues (not as bad as Christine O'Donnell which gave the Democrats a gift of a Senate seat). She comes off as more of a bomb thrower, seemingly skilled at throwing red meat for the far right and TEA party types (aside from gender probably represents everything the drafters of the constitution would have disliked - that had this anti-passion thingy), and that could make things difficult for the Republicans to produce credible candidate through a potentially disruptive primary process.
"The guy is an exceedingly moderate social-democrat by any standard (the rest of the world sees him as one). But people talk of Obama as if he were Lenin reincarnated."
That sort of talk comes from those who have gone to considerable trouble to penetrate the media's carefully-crafted image of the 'exceedingly moderate social-democrat', which they built by tiptoeing around the history of his acts, beliefs and associates. It's not a coincidence that his educational records remain sealed beyond any media due diligence, nor that his political activism as a 'community organizer' (translation: leftist class warrior) remains uninvestigated by media cheerleaders for a transformative leader of the politically correct persuasion.
Not Lenin reincarnated, despite his public yearnings for a domestic 'security force funded at parity with the US military', and for driving insurance companies out of the health care field to install a single-payer entity triumphant by default.
But his appointment of extremists to head the DOJ and the EPA, plus a lavish gaggle of unaccountable 'Czars', plus his contract-busting seizure of GM and Chrysler to pay off his UAW cronies in the grand Chicago manner, go far beyond social democracy in the direction of an authoritarian command-and control regime headed by a newly aggrandized Executive branch.
It will require concentrated exertions by the new Republican House majority to identify, publicize and abate those authoritarian implants. Any of them that survive will do duty of incrementally shoving the country in no direction but the unaccountable, antidemocratic left. And unless Obama's media poodles ever decide to illuminate and view with alarm those implants, it looks like Sarah Palin is one of the few with the vision and public audience to get the message out.
She will run in 2012 and, while she won't win the nomination in the end, she'll get close enough to still be a major force -- making her the perfect choice for running mate. Should Obama fall over in the next election Palin will be Vice President, mark my words.
@Michael Dunne:
You are NOT a republican-
"Her Facebook post on "death panels" altered the national debate on health reform. - I think that came out beforehand and represents just plain demagoguery at its worst"
- Liberal Nobel Prize winner in Economics Paul Krugman observed that the then passed health care plan has death panels... this, after he mocked Palin for suggesting it during the debate.
"When she asked "How's that hopey changey thing working out for ya?", she encapsulated many people's doubts about their president"
- In the context of wanting to "transform" the US which Mr. Obama has made explicit as to his desire. Many Americans are doubtful the country needs transforming. This is THE most fundamental difference between Democrats and Republicans.
"She helped put ratification of the new START treaty on hold?"
- Still worried about the Russians after Clinton's peace dividend?
When I look at Palin's record as Governor of Alaska, I don't see anything Conservative at all. Its very difficult to be a fiscal conservative in Alaska, particularly when it receives so much money from oil royalties and the Federal Government. That was the reason why McCain picked her, he looked at her and saw a moderate Conservative.
I am not that worried if Palin does become President, because based on her record as Governor of Alaska, nothing will change. The fiscal train wreck will get kicked into future.
As for being dangerous. If she is as dangerous and crazy as Kim Jong Il, it could be good, since America can black mail all our allies and China.
"...for as long as those numbers hold nothing would suit him better than for the Republicans to choose her as their nominee for 2012".
How do you know them numbers hold anything?
Polls are crock, that's ain't no secret – their results are easily predetermined by the method used, and are tailored by order. More importantly, polls are a tool for forming public opinion, not a mirror of thereof. Methinks, the concerted howl "Nominate Sarah to your peril!" is a campaign trick. It's aim to eliminate an adversary the Dems are most afraid of.
"they all complain about in private: that she could devastate the Republicans' cause in 2012. For some reason, none of them wants to speak up first."
Who will bell the cat?
@ Thornton 1:
Thanks for your lecture re your views of IQ and politics. You are certainly right. However, the fact that an ex-governor does not even know the difference between North Korea and South Korea is shocking! You have to admit this...I have known this since I was a kid. Come on! America was involved in a war with those countries not long ago (the war is still on as peace has never been signed). Next thing she is going to say that Vietnam is in South America! This not about IQ levels, it is about ignorance! You need to recognise that, unless you are as ignorant.
I like many of your observations, but there are lacunae in your world view as well. It is impressive to see the number of minorities and women in high places in the Republican Party. I notice they, like all other Republicans all seem to be cut out of the same cloth (anti-abortion, regulation/responsibility-free capitalism, low taxes no matter what)
Yes, because the Republican Party is going back to its basic principles, after dalliances with opportunism. The Democrats are the party of opportunism, of pandering to various constituencies and keeping them on plantations/reservations/asylums while wheeling and dealing with deficit money. GWB ran up deficits, but Obama is literally printing money and destroying the American economy.
There have always been hucksters in American politics and there always will, shrewdly able to tap into America's wide vein of ignorance and prejudice, attracting the lowest common denominators in the body politic. SP is just one more. The real question should be: Has America's level of comprehension reached such a low state that a huckster candidate could be elected?
The data is not good, over half of voters do not know that Republicans won the house, 1 in 3 Republicans either believe that the Sun revolves around the Earth or are unsure, nearly 9 in 10 Americans cannot find Afghanistan on map of Asia.
The first retarded president in US history. This will be a significant new mark, passing all the half retards that have run the country the last 20 years with huge margin. Not only that, she is a fascist who is against individual freedom.
Sarah Palin would be a perfect president of the US and symbolize just where the us has headed and is headed.

Fresh figs need little adornment. But a good-quality ricotta, a drizzle of honey, and some fresh cracked walnuts conspire to make an enjoyable late-summer dessert.
Cooking Light SEPTEMBER 1999
Cut each fig into 4 wedges, cutting to, but not through, base of fig. Spread wedges slightly apart; place 3 figs on each of 5 dessert plates. Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons cheese into each fig, and spoon about 1 tablespoon honey evenly around each serving of figs. Sprinkle each serving of figs with about 1 tablespoon walnuts.
Note: Dried figs may be substituted for fresh figs.

Re: **Jasmina Tinjic Chearing Thread**
Very nice news from Jasmina! I really think this girl deserves to be inside top200, hope she makes it one day. With this win her w/l record this year (including quali matches) goes up to 22-11, and if we look at just the last five events (four 100k's and one WTA) it's 11-4! This is her 12th tournament of the season and hopefully the first one larger than 25k where she makes a MD win. It's hard to believe Jasmina played qualies of a 10k this past January and lost in QR2
Her ranking should raise some 40 places on Monday, no matter what happens next, to ~580.
Good luck against Marta

The narrow entry of the Xp 33 is readily apparent when looking at the boat out of the water, and it is felt when in the forward v berth area. It looks to me like Van de Stadt has decided to have the max beam further forward in order to allow more space for the saloon and the forward berth area. I guess my disappointment with the Xp 33 stems from the fact that it is 1320kg heavier than a X-99, a boat that I have fond memories of. I would say it would take a veritable gale to get either the Xp 33 or certainly the Winner up on a plane. From my experience, the number of boats that actually get up on a plane is much smaller than people think.
I hope next years European Boat of the Year includes the Xp 33, the Winner and the Pogo 30 in the small boat category. To my mind they are three quite different, yet well thought out boats.
Frédéric,the A99 was and his a great boat and a great design in its time
and it is true that was it was lighter with 2890 kg to 4330kg but the Xp 33 has more 400kg of ballast so that difference is reduced to about 1000kg. if we consider that the X33 has about more 36cms im the LWL and more 21cms of beam that diffrence is explained.
Much more than that small difference in weight is the difference in power (stability) between the two boats. Not only the Xp 33 has more beam, a more modern hull that maximizes form stability (specially downwind) as it has a hugely more efficient keel with all the ballast in a torpedo. The Xp33 maximizes even more that more efficient keel with a difference in draft (1.90 to 1.75m).
I don't think that the slight bigger B/D ratio of the X99 (44% to 40%) can compensate the difference in RM on the Xp33 provided by the bigger draft and most of all by the fact that all the ballast is on the XP 33 down on a torpedo. Of course, more 21 cms of beam is a lot (in 3.0m of beam) and that will also contribute to make the Xp 33 a much more powerful boat and even if the boat has probably more wet surface due to the bigger displacement that difference is diminished by a keel with a lot less wet area.
You can see that difference in power reflected in the sail area both boats can carry downwind, the X99 carry a spy with about 80m2 and the Xp33 one with 93m2.
Regarding planning, I agree with you in what regards performance boats heavily charged for cruising, but when discharged for racing there are some boats that start to plane with medium winds and this is one if them.
We can see on a boat test that the boat is planning doing about 15K speed with a 20K wind. In this boat with this size of hull, we can consider that 10k is already a planning speed, since it is way more than hull speed. I guess that for reaching that speed the boat does not need much wind, if it carries a large spinnaker or geenaker, and the Xp33 has just the potential stability to do that without any problem.
Take a look at the Xp33 planning with 20K wind:

Watch M.I.A. 'Bring the Noize' in Dark, Head-Scratching Video
Newly pink-haired rapper spits out 'Matangi single
M.I.A. is leading by example. "Bring the Noize," the rapper-singer's latest single, is chaotic and strident, mixing digital crunch with vague calls for liberation — its message may be unclear, but it guarantees you'll have to listen. Maya's newly unveiled video (via, appropriately, Noisey) for the song is cacophonous in its own way, a barrage of provocative images that leave a powerful effect even if they don't immediately cohere. Hot-pink hair, great, but what does that glowing cow have to do with it? Why are those people standing stoically in all-white clothing — and then dancing? What's with the melted-gold imagery at the end that brings to mind the cover art for Watch the Throne? Those aren't the only questions surrounding the long-promised release of upcoming album Matangi, but part of M.I.A.'s genius is ensuring we'll stick around to (try to) find the answers.

Ranking Georgia's recruiting areas of need
By David Ching
It's Rankings Week at DawgNation. Each day this week, we've ranked some aspect of Georgia's football program and the teams and players the Bulldogs will face in the 2013 season.
Today we're ranking Georgia's top five areas of need in the 2014 recruiting class and some of the players the Bulldogs are pursuing to fill those holes.
Georgia is in a good position at tailback thanks to the verbal commitment of Sony Michel.
1. Tailback
-- The good news is that Georgia has already addressed this need by adding two tremendously talented players who have verbally committed to the Bulldogs.
Sony Michel
(Plantation, Fla./American Heritage) and
Nick Chubb
(Cedartown, Ga./Cedartown) -- Nos. 17 and 142 in the updated ESPN 300 -- are on board, and that might not be all. No. 137
Joe Mixon
(Oakley, Calif./Freedom) continues to show an interest in Georgia, as well.
2. Tight end
-- As long as
Jeb Blazevich
(Charlotte, N.C./Charlotte Christian) sticks to his verbal commitment to Georgia, the Bulldogs appear set in addressing their need at tight end for this class. They will lose senior
Arthur Lynch
after this season and recently lost Ty Flournoy-Smith when coach Mark Richt announced he was leaving the program. But in No. 94 overall prospect and No. 3 tight end Blazevich, they will add a 6-foot-5 target with impressive receiving skills who can help keep the position active in the Bulldogs' passing game.
3. Defensive line
-- The line of scrimmage will be an area of emphasis in this class, and the Bulldogs have only started to address it with its crop of commitments thus far. ESPN 300 defensive tackle
Dontavius Russell
(Carrollton, Ga./Carrolton) is the lone defensive lineman on Georgia's list of verbal pledges, but there are some big fish out there who are interested, starting with No. 12 overall prospect and No. 2 defensive tackle
Lamont Gaillard
(Fayetteville, N.C./Pine Forest) and No. 75 overall and No. 7 defensive tackle
Elisha Shaw
(Tucker, Ga./Tucker). Another name to watch is that of
Kendall Baker
(Atlanta/Marist), who could play on either side of the ball in college.
4. Offensive line
-- Georgia added only three offensive linemen and did not bring in a pure offensive tackle in its 2013 signing class after failing to reel in highly-regarded tackle prospect
Laremy Tunsil
, who signed with Ole Miss. The Bulldogs will lose at least three senior linemen (
Kenarious Gates
Chris Burnette
Dallas Lee
) and possibly a fourth (
Austin Long
) after this season, so there will be a few spaces available to O-linemen in this class. The versatile
Jake Edwards
(Franklin, Ga./Heard County) has already grabbed one of them. Keep an eye on No. 115 overall prospect and No. 5 guard
Isaiah Wynn
(St. Petersburg, Fla./Lakewood Senior) and
Dyshon Sims
(Valdosta, Ga./Lowndes) as possible candidates to join him.
5. Wide receiver
-- Georgia already has two verbal commitments at wideout in
Gilbert Johnson
(Miami/Miami Southridge Senior) and
Krenwick Sanders
(Jesup, Ga./Wayne County). Richt's coaching staff still has its eyes on several other players at the position, including No. 63 overall prospect
Cameron Sims
(Monroe, La./Ouachita Parish), No. 126
Josh Malone
(Gallatin, Tenn./Station Camp) and
Shakenneth Williams
(Macon, Ga./Rutland).

The Winooski-based Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission says the Centennial Brook is impaired because of pollution-laden storm runoff and erosion.
The commission plans to use the grant, as well as $91,000 from local holders of stormwater permits, to fund strategies to prevent or lessen the effects of runoff.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Syrian activist tells NBC News of torture, deprivation
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
February 27th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) In a harrowing interview with NBC News, an anti-Syrian government
activist told of the weeks he spent in torture chamber. A merchant from
Jisr al-Shughour in Syria's northern Idlib, 25-year-old Yousef Dandash
said he sometimes wished death would come and relieve him of the
overwhelming pain. The interview took place at a refugee camp on the Turkish border with Syria. Dandash says that he was detained for six weeks in March after tearing up a picture of President Bashar Assad in public. "They took me to solitary confinement . with no access to a toilet," he said. "Every day there was beating and torture (and) electricity." He then showed television reporters the scars that he said were caused by prolonged bouts of torture. His captors then took him to the capital Damascus, where he was put in a virtual underground city. "There the torture and the beating started. I was blindfolded all the time and my hands tied behind my back," he said. Dandash managed to flee to Turkey after security forces took him back to a detention center in his town, where a judge decided to release him until his trial. His brother Ammar, a soldier, deserted and came with him across the border. As dozens more Syrians die in a government crackdown, a precious few make it over the border to neighboring Turkey. The growing numbers of Syrians fleeing to the country's neighbors attest to the growing violence in Syria, where President Assad is trying to suppress an ongoing rebellion. Some 10,000 refugees are now registered in tented refugee camps and the number is rising daily. Voting was under way in the referendum on a new constitution in some parts of Syria. Assad has said the poll will lead to a multi-party parliamentary election in three months, but his opponents see the vote as a very black joke given Syria's turmoil. The Syrian government, backed by Russia, China and Iran, and undeterred by Western and Arab pressure to halt the carnage, maintains it is fighting foreign-backed "armed terrorist groups." Unwilling to intervene militarily and unable to get the U.N. Security Council to act amid Russian and Chinese opposition, Western powers have imposed their own sanctions on Syria and backed an Arab League call for Assad to step down. .

Let's get it out in the open: I play pokémon. I have since I was a kid and they first came out, and I've played nearly every single game that's come out. It's a fun pastime, and there's usually at least one good pokémon per batch, so I keep coming back.
However, sometimes the new games bore me, and sometimes I long for older games. I've played Red and Blue a few times (Blue especially), but recently I decided I'd go for a different kind of game. I had played LeafGreen as a rom, but never the actual cartridge, so I decided to go out on a limb and buy a used one. I wasn't expecting much other than a fun time, but that wasn't what was in store for me.
I started up the game as normal. There wasn't any saved data, so I started a new game, picked a girl (I always play girl characters; it's just something I've done forever) and named her Ghi. And this is where things got weird.
As always, I grabbed the potion from my mailbox, because I sure as hell wasn't going to lose my first battle. I headed downstairs and outside, ignoring talking to people, since I knew what they were going to say anyway. However, when I walked into the grass, I got two steps in before it stopped me. Then, rather than the normal peppy music, the normal music continued and the game just sort of stopped. I thought it had froze, but just as I was about to turn it off Prof. Oak came walking out.
He sauntered up to my character, like normal, and started talking. However, it wasn't the normal speech. He started off with, "Oh, it's you. Did you get into a battle? No? Fine. Follow me, it's not safe here." My sprite followed his, walking at half-speed or so, and we finally got into the lab.
Now, at this point I was taking careful note of everything that was wrong with the game, because it was trippy. Nothing seemed off, really, except that there was only one pokédex sitting on the table. Oak stood in his place for a while, and then Gary started talking.
"Gramps, are you going to say something this time, or can I get out of here?" That was odd in and of itself, but then Oak responded.
"Yes, sure. You can both pick a pokémon. Go ahead and choose from those three." Now, before I could do anything, Gary walked over, grabbed a pokéball, and a textbox popped up.
"I'll take this one." Gary said.
"Fine. Go ahead, then." Oak said. After that, Gary started walking away, but as he got to the bottom of the screen, his sprite stopped and turned around to face Oak.
"Maybe you should stop spending all your time looking at that damn machine and get on with your life." Gary said, and then he walked out. I waited a little bit after that, and then I realized I could move. I went and picked up the Bulbasaur (which was funny, because I was going to pick it anyway, but Gary picked up the Squirtle), and then I waited for Oak to talk. When he didn't, I went and talked to him.
"Bulbasaur." He said after a long pause. "Good choice. Train it well." And that's all he would say.
So, I left. The game seemed to play like normal at this point. I went up towards Viridian City, fought a few battles on the way, and eventually got to the pokémart, where the cashier forced the package on me. Taking it, I made the trek back to Pallet Town, and headed to Prof. Oak's.
As is probably evident, I was very excited at this point, because Oak had just been full of surprises during this game, but I wasn't ready for what I found. First off, there were no aides walking around in the first part of the lab, so it was oddly empty. Then I got towards the back and became very confused.
Oak was standing facing a pokémon sprite. It was a sprite of a Celebi, and it just bobbed up and down in front of Oak. After a moment, a textbox popped up:
"Take me away from here."
Then the screen went white. A pokémon cry I couldn't place, but I assume was Celebi, sounded a few times while the screen was white, and then it rapidly started flashing through screens. Some of them looked like gyms, some like routes, and some were just plain bizarre, but they only lasted for a few seconds each, so I didn't see many details. After about a minute of this seizure-inducing flash, the screen went dark. At first I was upset, because I thought that was all there was and the game had finally just crashed, but then the screen lit back up.
And now everything was different. The first thing that jumped out was the scenery; the game did not look like a pokémon game. It was obviously better quality graphics than LeafGreen, and it looked like a jungle. Even stranger, my character's sprite was now the original Red and Blue version. In other words, I was now a boy sprite in a strange, new world.
I opened the menu, but I no longer had many choices. I had the POKéMON option, and the BAG option, and the EXIT option. But that was it. Confused, I looked in the POKéMON option, but I had no pokémon on me. Not too surprising, considering the circumstances, but I was still a little upset. I liked my Bulbasaur.
There was an entrance to a cave towards the top of the screen, so I moved upwards. Inside, the cave was half-good graphics, half-old school pokémon graphics. In particular, there were a whole bunch of boulders that required Strength to move sitting around. One was immediately in front of me and blocking my path, but I had no recourse, so I walked up to it and tried to push it out of the way.
Instead of moving, it turned into a sprite of my character, so there were two old school graphics. When I moved away, it followed me. Other than that, it did nothing, so I ignored it. I moved around the cave, looking at the scenery, but it wasn't very interesting, just a maze and a pool of water.
In the next screen, there were a bunch more of the boulders, and every time I touched one of them they would turn into a copy of my sprite and follow me, so I soon had a nice little line of eight or nine doppelgangers following me. Then I saw a pokéball lying on the ground, and I went right for it. The textbox that popped up was odd.
"It's a Caterpie! But it's sleeping. Let's not wake it." I checked my POKéMON menu again, and I now had a Caterpie, no level listed, that was asleep. About this time I realized that the menu was in the normal LeafGreen graphics.
I moved farther through the cave until I found a few more pokéballs lying on the ground. The next one I picked up said, "It's a picture of my dead UNOWN. That's not very nice
" A little odd, but alright. The third pokéball said, "It's Oak's genetically engineered ONYX!" Sure enough, I now had an Onyx in my party. The fourth, and final pokéball, popped up a textbox that said, "It's a KABUTOPS, fully restored!" Like before, I now had a Kabutops in my party. Seeing as I had walked through several screens with no battles at this point, I was mostly ignoring the pokémon, so I didn't really look up their stats or anything. I was more intrigued by the bizarre gameplay.
As I exited the cave, I was at the top of a cliff. I walked to the edge and a textbox popped up: "JUMP?" it said, and then a YES/NO box popped up. I clicked YES, seeing no other option, and my sprite jumped off the side.
I landed at the bottom of an apparently very tall cliff, but it was the cliff itself that really got me. There were skeletons embedded in the bottom of the cliff, what looked to be otherwise rock, and they were pretty clearly human. Talking to the cliff did nothing, so I took the only exit out of the screen. It led me to another cliff, but this one had two sprites overlooking it. As I got closer to the edge of the cliff, I could see trees looming up in the distance, as far as the horizon.
I stopped looking at the distance and focused on the sprites. It was Prof. Oak and the Celebi again, looking over the cliff. I walked up and talked to the Celebi, but the cry I had heard when the screen went white sounded again, and nothing else. So, I talked to Oak. It took a little while, but a textbox finally popped up (though Oak's sprite didn't turn to face me).
"This place is so nice." Oak said. His sprite finally turned to face me. "It's
Ghi, isn't it? I'm sorry you look so different now. I didn't mean for that to happen." A box popped up with two options: WHERE AM I? and WHAT? I chose WHAT?, because I was more interested in that.
"I didn't mean for you to come with us. Me and
Celebi." The textbox disappeared for a second and then reappeared. "When I was a trainer, I wanted to be the best, and I did pretty well. As I got older, I decided to leave the fighting for the youngsters and instead catalogue every pokémon. And I did very well. As you probably don't know, I have seen many pokémon no one else has. And, honestly, it disturbs me."
Another textbox popped up with two more choices: LIKE WHAT? and WHAT HAPPENED? Not wanting to repeat myself, I chose WHAT HAPPENED?
"The world is a terrible place. Adults send children out to play with monsters. When I was young, there was more training, more preparation. Nowadays, those little schools are all that prepares children to interact with vicious creatures. More than that, after seeing so much of the world, I just don't trust it anymore. So much of it has been industrialized, so much of it has been taken over by humans
people don't worry about the children, because there's very little left for the pokémon. That was when I decided."
Once more, a textbox popped up, two choices available: DECIDED WHAT? and WHEN WAS THIS? Obviously, DECIDED WHAT? was more interesting, so I picked that one.
"I decided I would fix the world, through whatever means. It took me many years, more than you can imagine since I had the help of Celebi, but I did it. I made Team Rocket, to get my funding up. I organized Team Magma and Team Aqua, which let me catch Kyogre and Groudon. That was all I needed to complete my goals."
The textbox appeared again, the choices: WHAT GOALS? and WHAT DID YOU DO? I chose WHAT DID YOU DO?, though I honestly wasn't putting much thought into it anymore.
"I ended the world. With those two legendary pokémon in the hands of a true master like myself, as opposed to those bumbling fools, I tore apart the sea and earth. With Celebi's help, I traveled through time, strategically destroying continents and islands, so that I could reduce human control to a minimum. By the time you showed up, I was almost done. Celebi had decided to show me one last glimpse of the past, to try and make me reconsider, but it didn't work. However, I didn't expect you to show up when you did."
This time there was only one choice: WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?
"I thought I would go to the future and see how I had fixed the world, but you got pulled along with me. You never really should have existed. You were a potential life in a time that no longer exists. That's why you look like you do; your timeline has been crossed, erased, and corrupted to such an extent that you really only exist as an anomaly." The textbox disappeared and Oak turned to face Celebi. Celebi's sprite bobbed up and down and it's cry sounded, and then the textbox appeared again.
"I know. Thank you for helping me. I won't bother you again." Oak said to the Celebi. It turned and faced my character, moved forward a step, but then stopped and backed up two. It spun once and disappeared. A textbox appeared under me that said, "WHAT HAPPENS NOW?"
now we wait. Celebi is gone, so there's no going back. I intend to explore this world I've made until it eventually kills me. In a way, I'm just as much an anomaly as you, so there's nothing else for me to do."
A different textbox appeared: "WHAT DO I DO?"
"You can do whatever you like. I have no answers past this point. We're all that's left of humanity; out there is pure wilderness. But, I'm leaving. I wish you luck on whatever you decide." As the textbox disappeared, Oak moved away, walking past my sprite to where I had walked from.
My sprite moved towards the cliff. As I stepped against it, another choice popped up: END IT? and TRY TO SURVIVE? I hesitated. On the one hand, END IT sounded interesting, but TRY TO SURVIVE made it sound like I might get to keep playing. I ended up caving to the chance that something interesting would happen and I chose END IT. My character stepped off the cliff and fell, disappearing over the side.
Then the screen went black. Much as I tried, it didn't respond. I ended up waiting for half an hour, hoping something would change, but nothing did. Finally, my battery died, leaving me with nothing else. I grabbed another pair of batteries and loaded the game up again, but instead the game started up like normal, as if nothing was wrong.
There was no continue option (I was really kicking myself that I hadn't saved when I had the chance), so I tried to recreate the circumstances. I started a new game, named everything the same, moved in the same motions, as best as I could remember. But, nothing. The game just continued like normal. Finally, after I played through until I delivered the custom pokéball to Prof. Oak, I gave up and consigned myself the fact that this was just going to be a normal game.
I've never found that bizarre event again. I played through LeafGreen like I had intended to and tried restarting again, but it never worked. No matter what I try, I can't seem to get back to that place. And I can't help but wonder what would have happened had I chose TRY TO SURVIVE.

Meet Dan
Email Dan: email@example.com
Twitter @DanSileoShow
The 20-year sports radio and television veteran began his new program in February. Sileo has an impressive history of talking sports on some of the country's top sports radio stations and networks. He began his sports media career in 1994 with the One-on-One Sports Network based in Las Vegas where he had recently retired from professional football.
Only a year later, he was based in Northern California on legendary radio station KGO in San Francisco where he anchored sports reports on the morning show. Dan quickly drew the attention of television and soon added the responsibility of anchoring sports on KPIX-TV, Channel 5 and KTVU, Channel 2. Within one year, he was lured away by the top sports station in the bay area, KNBR, hosting the early evening time slot before being promoted to sister station 1050, The Ticket hosting the morning show. While in San Francisco, Dan was also anchoring pre and post-game shows for the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland Raiders and was the sideline reporter for the Stanford Cardinal Radio Network.
He later moved to Tampa to accept an offer from WDAE, The Sports Animal hosting the morning show. In less than two years, he caught the ear of Fox Sports as they were launching the Fox Sports Radio Network and moved back to California to join the inaugural lineup on the Los Angeles based network.
Eventually he decided to return to the Gulf Coast of Florida in 2002 where he resumed hosting mornings on WDAE. Station owners Clear Channel loved Dan so much they decided to also carry his Tampa based show on sports stations in Orlando, Jacksonville and Tallahassee creating a regional sports network.
He enjoyed an unprecedented run until moving south to Miami in 2012 to host the afternoon show on the legendary 560 WQAM. The station quickly added him to the Miami Hurricanes Network anchoring pre and post-game shows.
It wasn't long before Sileo caught the attention of The Mighty 1090. The station offered him the opportunity to return to the prestigious morning drive time slot.
Dan said, "Even though my college and professional football career was mostly in Florida, I fell in love with California in the years I spent there. When the opportunity arose to not only work at Southern California's top rated sports radio station but to also live in America's Finest City it was a no-brainer so I quickly accepted The Mighty 1090′s offer. Besides, who wouldn't want to trade covering the Marlins and Dolphins for covering superior organizations like the Padres and Chargers." Dan went on to say, "I realize I have big shoes to fill taking over for the legendary Lee 'Hacksaw' Hamilton. Lee set the standard for sports talk radio in Southern California and I know I have a lot to live up to."
Sileo was a standout college player at the University of Miami and was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the supplemental draft in 1987 as a junior. He was with the Bucs 2 years and then went to the Dallas Cowboys where Tom Landry signed him. Jimmy Johnson then became the head coach. Sileo started all pre-season games including JJ's 1st start versus the San Diego Chargers in San Diego. Sileo had an injury to his leg and was released after the pre-season. Dan played in the World League of American Football (WLAF) for the Orlando Thunder which was the Detroit Lions affiliate. He played all of the pre-season games and was released prior to the start of the regular season. Sileo finished his career playing in the Arena Football League with the Las Vegas Sting.
Dan makes no secret of the fact that controversy has occasionally been intertwined with his rapid rise in the sports radio business. He was fired from his job in Tampa where he left with the highest rated sports program in the State of Florida which was also one of the highest rated in the country. He violated Clear Channel's policy prohibiting employees from speaking with media critics. In Miami, Dan was highly critical of his beloved Hurricanes and their fall from the elite ranks which he openly blamed on University of Miami President Donna Shalala. Because the station was the flagship for Hurricane sports, pressure was applied to WQAM where they eventually let him go. Dan said, "The past couple of years in radio has taught me a lot and I plan on applying those lessons to my passionate and sometimes emotional approach to sports to create a great experience for San Diego fans, both hard-core and casual."
Sileo is also a voting member of the Football Writers Association of America and has served as a Heisman Trophy Award Elector. His wife and 12-year-old daughter have already joined him in San Diego.
Mike Shepard, Programming-Operations Manager at The Mighty 1090 AM stated, "I am thrilled to welcome Dan to San Diego's Sports Leader, The Mighty 1090. Dan is a passionate, outspoken, engaging and incredibly knowledgeable sports radio personality. His track record of major market success is remarkable and Dan is a perfect addition to the Mighty 1090′s top-rated, all-star lineup."
"I'm very excited about the dynamic and successful Dan Sileo joining us and the best sports talent line up in all of Southern California. We are sure he will make a dramatic impact on the Mighty 1090," Norm Feuer, Vice President–General Manager shared. Sileo will replace long time sports radio veteran Lee 'Hacksaw' Hamilton who will remain with The Mighty 1090 in a new capacity to be announced in the next few weeks.

This directory is more popularly known as $NEWSCTL. It contains configuration, log and status files. There are no articles or binaries kept here. Let's see what some of the files are meant for. Control files are dealt in slightly greater detail in "Section 4.3>"
sys: One line per system/NDN listing all the newsgroup hierarchies each system subscribes to. Each line is prefixed with the system name and the one beginning with ME: indicates what we are going to receive. Look up manpage of newssys.
explist: This file has entries indicating articles of which newsgroup expire and when and if they have to be archived. The order in which the newsgroups are listed is important. See manpage of expire for file format.
batchparms: Details of how to feed other sites/NDN, like the size of batches, the mode of transmission (UUCP/NNTP) are specified here. manpage to refer: newsbatch.
controlperm: If you wish to authenticate a control message before any action is taken on it, you must enter authentication-related information here. The controlperm manpage will list all the fields in detail.
mailpaths: It features the e-mail address of the moderator for each newsgroup who is responsible for approving/disapproving articles posted to moderated newsgroups. The sample mailpaths file in the tar will give you an idea of how entries are made.
nntp_access/user_access: These files contain entries of servernames and usernames on whom restrictions will apply when accessing newsgroups. Again, the sample file in the tarball shall explain the format of the file.
log, errlog: These are log files that keep growing large with each batch that is received. The log file has one entry per article telling you if it has been accepted by your news server or rejected. To understand the format of this file, refer to Chapter 2.2 of the CNews guide. Errors, if any, while digesting the articles are logged in errlog. These log files have to be rolled as the files hog a lot of disk space.
nntplog: This file logs information of the nntpd giving details of when a connection was established/broken and what commands were issued. This file needs to be configured in syslog syslogd should be running.
active: This file has one line per newsgroup to be found in your news server. Besides other things, it tells you how many articles are currently present in each newsgroup. It is updated when each batch is digested or when articles are expired. The active manpage will furnish more details about other paramaters.
history: This file, again, contains one line per article, mapping message-id to newsgroup name and also giving its associated article number in that newsgroup. It is updated each time a feed is digested and when doexpire is run. Plays a key role in loop-detection and serves as an article database. Read manpage of newsdb, doexpire for the file format
newsgroups: It has a one-line description for each newsgroup explaining what kind of posts go into each of them. Ideally speaking, it should cover all the newsgroups found in the active file.
Miscellaneous files: Files like mailname, organisation, whoami contain information required for forming some of the headers of an article. The contents of mailname form the From: header and that of organisation form the Organisation: header. whoami contains the name of the news system. Refer to chapter 2.1 of guide.ps for a detailed list of files in the $NEWSCTL area. Read RFC 1036 for description of article headers .
in.coming: Feeds/batches/articles from NDNs on their arrival and before being processed reside in this directory. After processing, they appear in $NEWSARTS or in its bad sub-directory if there were errors.
out.going: This directory contains batches/feeds to be sent to your NDNs i.e. feeds to be pushed to your neighbouring sites reside here before they are transmitted. It contains one sub-directory per NDN mentioned in the sys file. These sub-directories contain files called togo which contain information about the article like the message-id or the article number that is queued for transmission.
>newsgroup directories: For each newsgroup hierarchy that the news server has subscribed to, a directory is created under $NEWSARTS. Further sub-directories are created under the parent to hold articles of specific newsgroups. For instance, for a newsgroup like comp.music.compose, the parent directory comp will appear in $NEWSARTS and a sub-directory called music will be created under comp. The music sub-directory shall contain a further sub-directory called compose and all articles of comp.music.compose shall reside here. In effect, article 242 of newsgroup comp.music.compose shall map to file $NEWSARTS/comp/music/compose/242.
control: The control directory houses only the control messages that have been received by this site. The control messages could be any of the following: newgroup, rmgroup, checkgroup and cancel appearing in the subject line of the article. More information to be found in "Section 2.4>"
junk: The junk directory contains all articles that the news server has received and has decided, after processing, that it does not belong to any of the hierarchies it has subscribed to. The news server transfers/passes all articles in this directory to NDNs that have subscribed to the junk hierarchy.
The heart of the Usenet news server is the various scripts that run at regular intervals processing articles, digesting/rejecting them and transmitting them to NDNs. I shall try to enumerate the ones that are important enough to be cronned. :)
newsrun: The key script. This script picks the batches in the in.coming directory, uncompresses them if necessary and feeds it to relaynews which then processes each article digesting and batching them and logging any errors. This script needs to run through cron as frequently as you want the feeds to be digested. Every half hour should suffice for a non-critical requirement.
sendbatches: This script is run to transmit the togo files formed in the out.going directory to your NDNs. It reads the batchparms file to know exactly how and to whom the batches need to be transmitted. The frequency, again, can be set according to your requirements. Once an hour should be sufficient.
newsdaily: This script does maintenance chores like rolling logs and saving them, reporting errors/anomalies and doing cleanup jobs. It should typically run once a day.
newswatch: This looks for news problems at a more detailed level than newsdaily like looking for persistent lock files or unattended batches, determining space shortage issues, and the likes. This should typically run once every hour. For more on this and the above, read the newsmaint manpage.
doexpire: This script expires old articles as determined by the control file explist and updates the active file. This is necessary if you do not want unnecessary/unwanted articels hogging up your disk space. Run it once a day. Manpage: expire
