Royce Supports Iran Threat Reduction Act
January 09, 2012
Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade, issued the following statement in support of H.R. 1905, the Iran Threat Reduction Act. Royce is an original cosponsor of the legislation, which is expected to pass the House overwhelmingly.
"Last week, Vice President Biden boasted that sanctions on Iran have 'caused significant discussion internally' in Tehran. That's comforting rhetoric, but the ominous reality is that Iran's nuclear program is more advanced, more capable and closer than ever to achieving nuclear weapons. The only discussion among the mullahs seems to be – 'how fast do we move forward?'" said Royce in comments on the House floor. "If fully implemented – this legislation gives us a better chance of avoiding a nuclear Iran, by tightening the sanctions regime. The bill further targets Iran's energy sector, which fuels its nuclear program, and targets the Revolutionary Guard Corps. The bill also assists Iranians struggling against the regime in the streets." Royce, who last year served as a conferee on the "Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability and Divestment Act," (CISADA) also pressed for quick Senate action. "We don't have time to wait for the Senate to act on this legislation. We can't afford for these sanctions to be scaled back, as the Obama Administration wants. We don't have time for delay."

Morgan Lake, 22, of Calvert City, Md., had just driven onto the bridge Friday night when a tractor-trailer rig struck her car twice, knocking it onto a railing where it hung briefly before falling into the bay, The Washington Post reported Sunday.
Lake said the drop "felt like eternity."
When the car hit the water, the driver's side window and the windshield shattered and the vehicle immediately began filling with water, Lake said.
At first she felt as if she would die, she said.
"I got myself together. I went from panic to calm."
Lake unbuckled herself, pushed through the broken window and swam to the surface.
A boater went to Lake's aid and stayed with her until a boat from the Maryland Natural Resources Police took her to shore and she was transferred to a hospital.
Lake was released from the Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore Saturday with bumps and bruises, the Post reported.

SEATTLE — Washington became the fifth state this year to sign into law protections of social media passwords at the workplace and job interviews.
Gov. Jay Inslee signed the bill Tuesday, wrapping up a session of negotiations between privacy advocates and business lobbyists who were worried that the new law would hamper security for proprietary or confidential information.
The measure, sponsored by Democrat Sen. Steve Hobbs of Lake Stevens, bars employers from asking for a Facebook, Twitter or other social media personal passwords during a job interview or at the workplace. It also bars employers from making workers friend managers so that their profile is viewable.
The bill, however, allows companies to request "content" of employee social media sites during internal investigations, which can be opened if an employer has received a tip that a worker may be leaking information.
"In that circumstance, the employer may request the leaked content, but there is no requirement that the employee turn it over. The employer is given no more power to force disclosure of that information than exists under current law," said Shankar Narayan of the Washington state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
That last provision was the result of negotiations prompted by an earlier amendment that allowed employers to ask for a password during these investigations, essentially gutting the original bill's intent. That version was thrown out after pushback from privacy advocates.
"We don't have to sacrifice our privacy for advances in technology," Hobbs said. "As the social media technology advances people are afraid about their privacy, it's good to be ahead on this one."
The Associated Press reported last year that some employers around the country were asking applicants for their social media information.
"We're trying to assure people's privacy in this space, that we (have) vigilance and the ability to move on a moment's notice when people's privacy has been violated," Inslee said.

Critical Review by Michael Glover
SOURCE: "Fact as Fiction," in New Statesman, March 6, 1998, p. 47.
In the following review, Glover offers an unfavorable assessment of The Life of Thomas More.
It seems a long time since Peter Ackroyd published his last book, a novel about the surprising appearance of John Milton in the New World. Its single most memorable sentence would have made Sir Thomas More, the greatest of all defenders of the religion and values of pre-Reformation England, puke: "This missal," Milton remarks with contempt during some routine persecution of a poor woman caught at her miserable devotions, "is fit only to make winding sheets for pilchards."
Could it have been all of 18 months since those marvellously tangy words first appeared in print? At the time, the literary agent Giles Gordon likened Ackroyd...

Three paradoxes in the relations between religion and politics in an English city
UNSPECIFIED. (1998) Three paradoxes in the relations between religion and politics in an English city. REVIEW OF RELIGIOUS RESEARCH, 39 (4). pp. 344-359. ISSN 0034-673X
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
This paper reports findings from a recent study of the interpenetration of religion and politics in relation to school education in a large and religiously diverse English city. The findings are based mainly on data collected through interviews with fifty representatives of the city's faith communities, elected Councilors, Council officials, school teachers and administrators, and staff in community development organizations. The main objective is to analyze three paradoxes which arise in a country which lacks a constitutional separation of church and state and which contains significant non-Christian minorities. The main finding is that Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs are able to bring their distinctive religious values to bear on debates about educational policy in spire of a political opportunity structure which may appear to exclude them.

Microsoft Enhanced Mitigation Evaluation Toolkit (EMET)
The enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) is designed to help prevent hackers from gaining access to your system.
Software vulnerabilities and exploits have become an everyday part of life. Virtually every product has to deal with them and consequently, users are faced with a stream of security updates. For users who get attacked before the latest updates have been applied or who get attacked before an update is even available, the results can be devastating: malware, loss of PII, etc.
Security mitigation technologies are designed to make it more difficult for an attacker to exploit vulnerabilities in a given piece of software. EMET allows users to manage these technologies on their system and provides several unique benefits:
1. No source code needed: Until now, several of the available mitigations (such as Data Execution Prevention) have required for an application to be manually opted in and recompiled. EMET changes this by allowing a user to opt in applications without recompilation. This is especially handy for deploying mitigations on software that was written before the mitigations were available and when source code is not available.
2. Highly configurable: EMET provides a higher degree of granularity by allowing mitigations to be individually applied on a per process basis. There is no need to enable an entire product or suite of applications. This is helpful in situations where a process is not compatible with a particular mitigation technology. When that happens, a user can simply turn that mitigation off for that process.
3. Helps harden legacy applications: It's not uncommon to have a hard dependency on old legacy software that cannot easily be rewritten and needs to be phased out slowly. Unfortunately, this can easily pose a security risk as legacy software is notorious for having security vulnerabilities. While the real solution to this is migrating away from the legacy software, EMET can help manage the risk while this is occurring by making it harder to hackers to exploit vulnerabilities in the legacy software.
4. Ease of use: The policy for system wide mitigations can be seen and configured with EMET's graphical user interface. There is no need to locate up and decipher registry keys or run platform dependent utilities. With EMET you can adjust setting with a single consistent interface regardless of the underlying platform.
5. Ongoing improvement: EMET is a living tool designed to be updated as new mitigation technologies become available. This provides a chance for users to try out and benefit from cutting edge mitigations. The release cycle for EMET is also not tied to any product. EMET updates can be made dynamically as soon as new mitigations are ready
The toolkit includes several pseudo mitigation technologies aimed at disrupting current exploit techniques. These pseudo mitigations are not robust enough to stop future exploit techniques, but can help prevent users from being compromised by many of the exploits currently in use. The mitigations are also designed so that they can be easily updated as attackers start using new exploit techniques.

The Jakarta administration is trying to accommodate working moms' needs, from creches in public places and breast milk couriers to baby catering
Juggling a career, domestic chores and child care on a daily basis is now made possible for working mothers in Jakarta thanks to the mushrooming businesses that assist the city's supermoms.
Inna Banani, 34, who runs an online business from her home in Bintaro, Tangerang, said she cooked for her 22-month-old and 5-year-old kids, but she turned to baby catering when she was too busy.
"I use baby catering when I have no maid at home, when I am sick or when I need to go out to meet my clients. The service is helpful. It saves me time and makes my life easier," she told The Jakarta Post over the phone on Wednesday.
Baby catering services may sound new to some people, but the business has grown in the past three years. Nandra Janniata, a mother of two who works as a graphic designer in Jakarta, had the idea to set up Bebitang baby catering with her sister Neura Azzahra in 2010 when her children's nanny went back to her hometown.
"We want to help working moms by providing healthy food for their babies and kids with no preservatives or food additives. We still limit our coverage areas because we want to deliver fresh food on time for lunch," she told the Post.
Nandra said they cooked the food early in the morning and their four couriers delivered the food packages to their clients in Bintaro, Bumi Serpong Damai and South Jakarta. Clients can also ask them to deliver lunch boxes to schools. They also make homemade frozen food products such as nuggets and sausages that can last for up to a month.
Although there is no accurate data on women going back to work after having children, Nandra said that her customers had increased in the past two years, from one household to 37 as of this month.
Working mothers who need to send their breast milk immediately to their baby at home can also use the service of breast milk couriers. One of them, Kurir Asi, has 10 people who can pick up and send the bottles to areas in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi and even as far as Bandung in West Java.
"Mothers should call a day before they want to use this service. There is no way the milk bottles can be switched because one courier only serves two customers at the most in a day," Kurir Asi operational manager Agus Kurniawan said.
He said the service cost from 35,000 Indonesian rupiah (US$3.61) to 55,000 rupiah.
Meanwhile, daycare services have become an alternative for working mothers who do not have a support system to take care of their children.
"We started with a pre-school, but since we are located in the heart of the city, we felt that daycare was also important for working parents," said Rachmi Winarni, the manager of Lollikids Montessori Pre-school and Daycare in Panin Tower in Senayan City, Central Jakarta.
She said parents could send their kids from as young as 8 months to 6 years old from 8am to 5pm. "Parents can pick up their children until 7pm with a late charge," Rachmi said.
KeenKids Daycare in Pejompongan, Central Jakarta, receives babies as young as 2 months and children up to 6 years old. It opens from 7:30am to 6:30pm and can extend until 8pm with an additional late charge of 15,000 rupiah per 10 minutes and taxi fare for the nanny. The daily fee is 200,000 rupiah, while the monthly fee can cost 2 million rupiah.
Lia, the administrative officer at the daycare, said they also had separate buildings for pre-school and kindergarten classes. "The kids will have taken a bath and will have eaten dinner by the time their parents pick them up," she said.

Therapeutic Humor My first exposure to therapeutic humor was with folks who were very active in AA. Their use of humor to move through the rebuilding days, and to handle the struggles later on that life presents to us, like divorce, death, and illness, was amazing. I can think back to comments made by people I knew 30 years ago, and laugh all over again, as they teased out the whimsy and the farce from what were often called "those damned learning experiences", so you can imagine my curiosity when I read of Norman Cousins and his use of humor to heal from a serious illness. However, there is a some very interesting research into therapeutic humor going on these days, and a celebrated example of he personal use of therapeutic humor to heal. From Wikipedia, and the link is below; "In the 1960s, Norman Cousins, a magazine editor, began to suffer from symptoms like rheumatoid arthritis and from a collagen disorder . He underwent many medical treatments and became tired of feeling sicker and sicker. He moved out of the hospital and across the street to a hotel where his doctor world be nearby and he went off all of his medications. He asked his wife to look into organic foods and nutrition and he himself researched healthcare, taking a great interest in natural cures and laughter as medicine." "Told that he had little chance of surviving, Cousins developed a recovery program incorporating megadoses of Vitamin C, along with a positive attitude, love, faith, hope, and laughter induced by Marx Brothers films. "I made the joyous discovery that ten minutes of genuine belly laughter had an anesthetic effect and would give me at least two hours of pain-free sleep," he reported. "When the pain-killing effect of the laughter wore off, we would switch on the motion picture projector again and not infrequently, it would lead to another pain-free interval." "Normans Cousins' condition became worse before it became better, until one day he was completely unable to move. However, he began to watch comedy movies - the Three Stooges, the Marx brothers, and many others. Each time he laughed, he was able to loosen up a little and move some extremity like a toe or finger or even his jaw. So, he watched and laughed every day. When he loosened up enough in the major joints, he added exercise to his laughing regimen, along with natural and organic foods and vitamins, especially large doses of vitamin C. Eventually he fully recovered, without medications of any kind. Her lived to age 75 in 1990 and was on the faculty of the University of California at Los Angeles School of Medicine, where he taught holistic healing methods and philosophies, including laughter."
Wikipedia-Norman Cousins
The sound of laughter may make you smile and laugh, British researchers report. "It seems that it's absolutely true that 'laugh and the whole world laughs with you,'" Sophie Scott, PhD, says in a news release. Scott is a professor at University College London's Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience. Scott's team says when people hear the sound of laughter, their brain areas that control smiling and laughing become active. The researchers played the sounds of laughter through headphones to 20 healthy people with good hearing (average age: 32). While listening to laughter, participants got brain scans using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The brain scans showed activity in brain areas that control facial muscles used in smiling and laughing. In short, the sound of laughter spurred the brain to get ready to laugh and smile. Participants' brain scans showed similar activity upon hearing tapes of people cheering, but not after hearing cries of fear or disgust. The findings may explain how the brain mirrors other people's positive emotions. "We usually encounter positive emotions, such as laughter or cheering, in group situations, whether watching a comedy program with family or a football game with friends," Scott says. "This response in the brain, automatically priming us to smile or laugh, provides a way of mirroring the behavior of others, something which helps us to interact socially," she says. "It could play an important role in building strong bonds between individuals in a group," Scott adds.
"Dr. Lee Berk and fellow researcher Dr. Stanley Tan of Loma Linda University in California have been studying the effects of laughter on the immune system. To date their published studies have shown that laughing lowers blood pressure, reduces stress hormones, increases muscle flexion, and boosts immune function by raising levels of infection-fighting T-cells, disease-fighting proteins called Gamma-interferon and B-cells, which produce disease-destroying antibodies. Laughter also triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, and produces a general sense of well-being."
So it appears that humor is therapeutic, and is good for all of us, including our brains, where those endorphins are released. If you are curious about the connection between therapeutic humor and the brain fitness materials you have been reading about for the last few months, then I suggest you read Brainfit for Life by Simon Evans,Ph.D. and Paul Burghardt,Ph.D. neuroscientists at the University of Michigan, who write about the pillars of brain fitness, which are physical exercise, nutrition, including omega 3 fatty acid and antioxidants, stress management (think laughter), sleep, and novel learning experience. That novel learning experience might involve computerized brain fitness like the following programs, which I use and recommend highly.

BAGHDAD — A populist Shiite leader in Iraq, Muqtada al-Sadr, expressed support yesterday for
fresh protests against Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, saying that al-Maliki bears "full
responsibility" for the unrest in the country.
Al-Maliki's recent steps suggest he is asserting greater control over many aspects of the
government. That has prompted fears he is cracking down on his political opponents.
Demonstrations against al-Maliki's Shiite-dominated government erupted in Sunni areas last
month in response to a raid by security forces on the office and home of the Sunni finance
minister, Rafia al-Issawi.
In one protest last week, tens of thousands of Sunnis blocked Iraq's main trade route to
Syria and Jordan.

Thousands of Americans flocked to the National Mall on Thursday to ring in the Fourth of July with a fireworks display, performances by Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow and selections from the "Lincoln" score played by the National Symphony Orchestra.
Diamond sang "Sweet Caroline" in tribute to victims and survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing. The song is a Fenway Park tradition, and Diamond performed it there in the aftermath of the attack.
Manilow closed out the annual "Capitol Fourth" concert with "Let Freedom Ring" as the crowd streamed away from the west lawn of the Capitol to get a better look at the fireworks on the other end of the Mall. The Washington Monument, covered in scaffolding for repairs following an earthquake nearly two years ago, provided the backdrop for the 17-minute display.
Performers also included composer John Williams, who conducted portions of his score for the movie "Lincoln" following a video introduction from the movie's director, Steven Spielberg.
On Thursday afternoon, visitors were relaxing in shady spots on the Mall, exploring the museums and memorials or enjoying a diverse menu of refreshments at an international folk festival outside the Smithsonian headquarters.
Although the National Park Service does not provide crowd estimates, the July Fourth celebration has attracted about 250,000 people in the past. The festivities in Washington also included a parade down Constitution Avenue.
Automatic budget cuts approved by Congress this year had a modest impact on the holiday. A second concert that's been held in the past on the grounds of the Washington Monument was not staged this year, saving the park service $200,000, spokeswoman Carol Johnson said.

The University of Rhode Island offers a Master of Arts in Education with Teacher Certification Program (MATCP) for students seeking initial Rhode Island Teacher Certification while working toward a master's degree in Education. Basically, this program is for candidates who have obtained a Bachelor's degree and who wish to obtain a Rhode Island Teacher Certificate within the master's program. Admission to this program requires that you submit a Graduate School Application and complete the interview and Admissions Portfolio process.
Students who have completed a major in the subject area they expect to teach (English, history, foreign language, mathematics, general science, biology, chemistry, physics, or social studies) may count those courses toward the requirements for teacher certification. For example, if you completed a major in English - Shakespeare and British Literature courses taken as an undergraduate may count toward certification in secondary English. See specific undergraduate course requirements in the specialization areas.
Certification requires a minimum of 30 credits within your subject area. To determine how many courses are required for your completion of the program, you can match course requirements with undergraduate transcripts. A formal course of study listing all required courses will be completed after admission to the program.
As a master's degree candidate, you are required to take 3 graduate level courses for 9 credits total in your subject area (e.g., biology, French, history). At least 15 credits for the MA must be taken at the 500 or 600 level. You should confer with your advisor regarding the selection of the 3 graduate level courses. You may be able to take master's level courses which meet the content requirements for teacher certification, thereby meeting both certification and master's requirements at once.
The URI / RIC Ph.D in Education will have Information Session for prospective students on:
Saturday, 9/27, from 9-11:30 a.m.

Two dumb anchoring questions

Re: Two dumb anchoring questions
Yes, if you are chartering just grab a mooring.
The only times I have used a mooring ball in the BVIs was one or two nights when I had a friend on board and wanted to get the closest spot to the beach to make the holiday experience better for my friend.
However if you are taking your own boat then you can anchor in each and every bay. I even did Trellis Bay on the pick!
Someone said use a scope of 7:1. I think they may have misread your post and thought you meant the Bahamas with very shallow water. Often in the BVIs you will be anchoring in 30 feet of water that's 210 feet of chain. In 30 feet I use about 120 feet chain.
My basic rule of where to drop is 3 boat lengths astern of the clown in front. Dump say 90 feet chain down and when it settles relax to the wind a minute or two then pull slowly back till I dig in. Then I increase the revs to pull back hard.
Then I watch for 30 minutes and if I am not happy i will move. A few weeks ago in the ICW I re anchored FIVE times before I was happy (grass over hard mud???) but I didn't get embarrassed or distracted, just did it again and again till it got in.
Then I dump in the rest of the chain to my desired scope.
Next point is most important.... When I am anchored and someone else arrives to anchor near me I give them a cheery wave and GO BELOW! I do not stand on deck watching them. I do not stand with my arms folded claiming I own the water etc.
I stay below for 30 minutes.
Because most people will work out if they have dropped in the right spot within 30 minutes. But sometimes it takes that long to tell.
Then if I have a REAL problem with the new people I will go in the dinghy and ask them about their cruise, etc, and then ask them if they have anchored here before etc etc etc.... I don't think I have ever told someone outright they are too close, but after a bit of discussion the new people always mention it.... And then they move.
And when I have just anchored I jump in the dink and go say hello to the arms folded wanker brigade... And the nice people too. Funnily enough some of the arms folded people turn out to be quite nice.... Just a bad first impression.
Re the rudder. When there is no current the helm can be amidships. But in current you are free to experiment. If you are a bit close to another boat you can swing the helm a bit.... But you need to remember the tide changes!

It's Good Housekeeping's 17th anniversary, and mommies, it's your month, too! Enjoy meaty reads on everything relevant to you—from deliciously simple cake recipes to stories of compassion during Pope Francis's visit.
It has been long ingrained in our social awareness that our image of the Filipino man is guwapo, macho, and swabe. Whether he has the charm of a boy-next-door or the appeal of an action star, one thing remains constant: that he must be your protector and provider in every aspect of your relationship. At least, that's what has been traditionally accepted.
The recent years have seen the rise of the "alpha female." Headstrong and ambitious, she loves being in the lead. More and more, we see her embodied in the women around us–students, career women, and mothers who are always on top of everything they do. Sometimes, this dominance spills over to romantic relationships, to which men respond differently. There are those who are confident enough to go with the flow of these ladies' strength, and there are those who seem to cower beneath it and are identified as under the saya.
Having a relationship with an under-the-saya man may be frustrating, especially if you're someone who's looking for a person you can lean on during tough moments. You may berate him about it, but remember: if your partner is overly submissive, your way of dealing with him may have something to do with it as well. If you want help him take back the proverbial trousers in your relationship, check out the gallery below for a few things you can do on your end.

How cool would it be if you could pee through your mouth? Actually, it doesn't sound appealing at all. But scientists have discovered a Chinese soft-shelled turtle that can do just that. Its name is Pelodiscus sinensis, and it comes equipped with unusual gill-like projections on its mouth [source: Choi].
The turtles typically live in salty swamps and marshes. Strangely, when they're on dry land, they often stick their heads in puddles. In fact, researchers discovered these turtles can submerge their heads underwater for as long as 100 minutes. They also found the turtles can pee about 50 times more urea through their mouths than from their rears [source: Choi].
So why are they doing this? Like humans, turtles need to wash out the urea their bodies create. Urea is a result of proteins that decompose in our bodies. Humans create the urine to do this by drinking fresh water. But the soft-shelled turtles can't simply drink some water, because they live in a salty environment, and saltwater's not good to drink. Scientists speculate that to solve this problem, the turtles get rid of their urea by sticking their heads in fresh water, like that found in puddles, and simply rinse the urea out through their mouths [source: Choi].

Red Hat Society Dedicate Memorial BenchTwin Falls
The women of the red hat society dedicated a bench today to their local founder.
Dozens of ladies dressed in colorful, jazzy clothes came to dedicate a bench to Victoria Jenkins at the twin falls city park. Jenkins introduced the society to the Magic Valley with the first chapter called the royal russets. She passed away in 2006. The bench is at the park for everyone to enjoy for years to come. Queen of the Red Hat Society says "Deborah Paul, our Queen Mother of the Quorum had to go to the City Council and get it approved, and then we had some left over money from our convention in 2007, so that paid for the bench and the plaque." Polly Fivas says that the group enjoys having fun and supporting one another. ladies fifty and older wear the red hat and purple clothes while those under 50 wear pink hats. Women celebrating a birthday in the month wear purple hats and red clothing. |

Functional balance and mobility tests in healthy participants: reliability, error and infl uencing factors
Busse, ME and Tyson, S 2007, 'Functional balance and mobility tests in healthy participants: reliability, error and infl uencing factors' , Physiotherapy Research International, 12 (4) , pp. 242-250.
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
Background and Purpose. Knowledge of the measurement error and reliability of measurement tools is required to judge whether true changes in performance have occurred. How a patient's performance relates to that of a healthy individual, and which factors would infl uence performance, also need to be considered to assess whether a patient's performance is 'normal'. The aim of the present study was to assess withinsession and test–retest reliability, and measurement error, of a hierarchical series of functional tests of balance and walking in healthy participants. Obtaining indicative data in a group of healthy participants was an additional aim. Method. Forty healthy participants aged 20–60 years were recruited from staff and students of Cardiff University. The participants completed eight functional balance and mobility tests on two occasions on the same day. Intra-class correlation co-effi cients (ICCs), assessed within-session, and test– retest reliability and measurement error were calculated from the mean squares error term of a repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). The relationship to the overall mean score was calculated and linear regression investigated the factors infl uencing performance. Results. Within-session and test–retest reliability for each of the tests was moderate to high (ICCs = 0.88–0.98 and 0.77–0.94, respectively). The overall measurement error was 3% to 11% of the mean scores. Age was the most frequent factor infl uencing performance; level of activity and body mass index (BMI) did not infl uence performance on any of the tests. Conclusions. Functional balance and mobility tests are reliable but are subject to random error up to 11% of the mean. The present study provides initial reference data for physiotherapists in clinical practice. It is important to begin to develop a database of a standard range of scores to give a context with which to judge more accurately the importance and relevance of clinical measurements from patients.

BC - can you reach your primaries from the helm? If so, I think you may be able to tack the genoa single handed. Your boat is going to want a genoa for the light days on the Chesapeake, which really precludes using a self tacking arrangement.
I single hand and can tack my 145 on my own, with or without the help of the autopilot managing the tack.
Worst, worst case....roll up the genoa, tack the main and pull out the genoa on the new tack.
I'd suggest you try to avoid adding this hardware....but there is no harm in trying out your centerline block idea this season. Try it and let us know how it works.

What to see in Portugal
Portugal Attractions
Sightseeing in Portugal is a privilege and joy to those who've sampled the country's warm climate, charming ports and friendly people.
Portugal's prodigious sailors have historically chartered course for every foreign shore on the planet, but today the country has an altogether new focus – drawing the world to her shores. Marketing itself as 'Europe's West Coast', everything from the hot springs of the Azore Islands to hiking and sailing in Madeira and the cultural sights of Lisbon have been revamped and are being served in true style to tourists from every corner of the globe. Portugal is the 7th most peaceful nation in the world according to the Global Peace Index, making its many marvellous sights safe to explore and conquer.
Portugal is known for its seafaring history and continued legacy as a coastal paradise. Jet skiing, diving, swimming, sailing, you name it and they cater for it. The Estoril Coast is a set of pristine blue-flag beaches ready for your worn feet. While the sea will always be Portugal's first love, the country does boast the Sintra-Casais Natural Park, a World Heritage Site and the capital of Lisbon is as cosmopolitan and metropolitan city to rival the likes of Madrid and Paris.

Showdown in Seattle: Super Bowl on the line
The NFC Championship Game matches arguably the two best teams in football: the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks.
The Seahawks and 49ers met again on Sunday – this time for the NFC Championship and a berth to the Super Bowl.
Game time in Seattle is 3:30 p.m. (FOX 13, KIRO 100.7 AM, 97.3 FM).
The teams splitting the season series with each home team coming away the winner. In the most recent matchup, the 49ers pulled out a 19-17 victory at home, taking the lead right before halftime and never relinquishing it.
Earlier in the season at CenturyLink Field, however, the Seahawks dominate the 49ers in a 29-3 win. The Seahawks held the 49ers to just 207 total yards and forced five turnovers, including three interceptions by Colin Kaepernick.

McCain: "We must enact comprehensive immigration reform"
posted at 8:05 pm on May 22, 2008 by Allahpundit
You guys think I'm kidding about writing in Hillary. Okay then.
In yet another sign of his pivoting toward the general election, Senator John McCain said at a roundtable with business leaders [in San Jose] today that comprehensive immigration reform should be a top priority for the next president…
"Senator Kennedy and I tried very hard to get immigration reform, a comprehensive plan, through the Congress of the United States," he said. "It is a federal responsibility and because of our failure as a federal obligation, we're seeing all these various conflicts and problems throughout our nation as different towns, cities, counties, whatever they are, implement different policies and different programs which makes things even worse and even more confusing."
He added: "I believe we have to secure our borders, and I think most Americans agree with that, because it's a matter of national security. But we must enact comprehensive immigration reform. We must make it a top agenda item if we don't do it before, and we probably won't, a little straight talk, as of January 2009."
The boss reminds us that this sunny little pander directly contradicts what he said in the heat of the Republican primary about having "gotten the message" on immigration and agreeing that we should secure the border first. Consider it the answer to Obama's pitiful climbdown from promising to meet with Ahmadinejad at the YouTube debate last year — an early empty promise aimed squarely at the gullible idiots in his own base who need to hear it to nominate him, and who'll then merrily acquiesce as he abandons that position for a more electable centrist footing in the general. Hell of a day to say this, though, coming as it does within hours of the Hagee un-endorsement that's going to annoy evangelicals. Serious exit question: Would Obama really be much worse for Iraq than McCain would? The more security gains there are, the harder it'll be for him to pull the rug out from under Petraeus and Odierno. Even his own advisors admit that the Hopenchange rhetoric about abandoning Iraq is crap along these same lines, to soothe the savage liberal beast for long enough to get him elected while he plots a more responsible strategy. The real question is whether he'd be much worse on Iran, which he very well might. We can't afford that, and McCain knows it. Which is precisely why it's suddenly become the centerpiece of his campaign.

Michael Peltier: Tax commission adopts waterfront tax protection
Obscured by more statewide issues, a panel empowered to change the state's tax structure approved a measure last week to preserve marinas and other waterfront property from skyrocketing property values.
Though the white-hot market has chilled considerably in the past few years, public access to the water is being quickly reduced as marinas and other marine-related businesses get taxed out of business.
On Friday, the Taxation and Budget Reform Commission, which meets every 20 years to revamp tax and budget, approved a proposal to insulate qualified properties from hefty property taxes caused by the high-end condominiums, time-shares and waterfront hotels.
But the proposed constitutional amendment may have minimal impact in Southwest Florida, where private interests have already scooped up most of the public access.
Spearheaded by Lee County Tax Appraiser and commission member Ken Wilkinson, the measure allows qualified owners to pay property taxes based on the actual value of their business endeavor and not on the highest and best use.
"High taxes are prompting many local water front businesses to consider selling their businesses for other uses including condominium development or relocating out of state," Wilkinson told members of the commission earlier this year when they initially approved the proposal.
The measure specifically targets marinas, commercial piers ports, commercial fishing operations and dry docks, which would qualify for the tax exceptions. Voters would be asked in November to approve the proposed constitutional amendment.
Many small marina operators, for example, are seeing their properties appraised at rates as if they were a large condominium. Such rates are forcing many to sell their properties.
Backers also say the measure would ensure that Floridians who can't afford to live on the coast can still have access to the coastline.
State economists estimate the proposal would reduce local property tax collections by $69 million in 2009 and $142 million in 2012. Of that, schools would lose $30 million in 2009 and $63 million by 2012.
John Sprague, government affairs chairman for the Marine Industries Association of Florida, praised the proposal as a much-needed tool to stem the tide of closures that have come about in recent years.
"Thank God, is all I can say," Sprague said Friday. "This will help us save what we have left of public access."
In Southwest Florida, however, much of that access is already gone and the proposal will only slow the transition to privately held waterfront property, says Scott Hopkins, manager of Cedar Bay Yacht Club on Marco Island.
Only a handful of public access marinas remain, including Marco River Marina and those, Hopkins said last month, will likely go private at some point down the road.
"The working waterfront proposal will slow the transition," Hopkins said. "It won't stop it."

Jayhawks have shaky start at NCAA women's golf championship
The bad news for the Kansas Jayhawks is they are in last place. The good news is it's only round one.
KU finished in 24th place after the first round of the NCAA Women's Golf Championship at Tulsa Country Club in Tulsa, Okla.
Thanks in large part to eight double bogeys or worse, the Jayhawks shot a 33-over-par 313 on Tuesday. The front nine was especially troubling.
"We got off to a pretty shaky start," KU coach Erin O'Neil said. "Took a few too many doubles (bogeys) on the front nine. Might have been a little bit of nerves. The wind compounded that, made some bad shots look worse, had a couple of bad breaks here and there."
Junior Minami Levonowich had the best scorecard on the team, shooting a 4-over 74. She was steady throughout the round and displayed good patience and commitment to her shots.
"She played great all day," O'Neil said. "Every time I saw her, made good pars, made good putts, just played great all day. She did a good job of staying patient and (going) with the flow."
Senior Thanuttra Boonraksasat shot a 76 to place second best on the team. Meghan Potee was third after shooting an 80. Yupaporn Kawinpakorn finished with an 83 and Pornvipa Sakdee managed an 89.
The wind was a factor all day. Gusts averaging 25 mph frustrated the athletes. The conditions got under the skin of KU's golfers.
"I think the wind kind of messed up our minds," Levonowich said. "We weren't sure what to hit a lot of times."
Despite struggling with the conditions, the golfers' confidence about improving their standing hasn't wavered.
"I feel like as a team, we are very good at making strong comebacks," Levonowich. "We have really good players and I know we are going to come back. I have full confidence in us."
KU made a comeback just to get to the NCAA Championship. The Jayhawks were tied for 16th after the first day of the NCAA Central Regional in Stillwater, Okla. They were in 10th after the second day and finished tied for fifth, making the cut of being a top-eight team to advance.
The regional was only 10 days ago, and O'Neil said it's helped the team cope with the disappointing start to the championship.
"That's a good confidence builder," O'Neil said. "We now have played the course three times, definitely learned a lot today. To do and what not to do. We'll have an even better game plan going into tomorrow, do our best and see what happens."
Levonowich said she knew big numbers were going to happen with the course.
"I think we are all a little shaky, but this is a tough field so it's bound to happen," Levonowich said. "I still think we are in a good spot. We still have a lot of golf to go. I'm confident."
