The Swarna Kamal may have lost its glitter but efforts are on to make the national film awards more relevant and inclusive.
The 59th national film awards have been announced and the question of its efficacy and objectivity remains as elusive as ever. Till about 15 years ago, it was the primary goal, especially for low-budget filmmakers to set about making an 'award' film and the commercial films, by default, became 'reward' films! The 'award' films tended to look realistic, often shot in villages using non-actors and with no marketing funds. The larger purpose was to win some national award and then move onwards to internationals festivals. The mid-1990s saw the blurring of the divide with filmmakers like Mani Ratnam, Priyadarshan, Sudhir Mishra, Prakash Jha and Deepa Mehta emerging. Soon, the national award for "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" as the best 'entertainment' film in 1999 virtually opened the gates for Bollywood and other regional blockbusters to get reasonable chances on this 'national' playing field.
While several cineastes condemn this 'vulgar' shift, the divide continues in another way. The real problem lies in the fact that only 180 films enter the competition out of the 1,000-plus films censored each year. Rajeev Jain, the new Director at the Directorate of Film Festivals, says, "Our coverage is widest in terms of categories of awards. The number of entries each year is going up because of increased awareness, popularity of awards and also our outreach efforts". Yet, less than 20 per cent of the films censored enter the fray! To make these 'awards' more accessible and democratic we need to probe a little further.
The main criteria for the national awards are: (a) It has to be a film censored within the calendar year and not necessarily released commercially; (b) One has to apply for the these awards and only the producer is empowered to send in the application; (c) Considering the linguistic diversity of the films and the jury members, English sub-titled prints are made mandatory.
Obvious obstacles
Obviously, with these criteria, roadblocks are bound to come up: (a) Not all film producers are aware of the application process and its complexities; (b) Depending on the decision of the producer, who in most cases, is the least creative unit member, the film gets entered or ignored; (c) Sub-titling in English, besides being expensive, is an art which has been seriously ignored over the years and therefore hampers effective communication, especially of regional nuances for the jury members.
These problems have been discussed over the last 58 years and there are no realistic ways of addressing the multifaceted nature of awarding the 'cinemas of India'. Adding to this complexity is the fact that every state gives away its own regional film awards; most state capitals now have an international film festival in which Indian films also compete; and then there are several private players like film magazines and TV channels hosting their own awards with far greater pomp and media reach.
Despite the slow marginalisation of the national awards, it is undoubtedly conducted in a manner which attempts to be fair and objective. Awards are also given here to short films, animation works, documentaries and even to film critics and authors. All these categories are headed by different juries. "The jury comprises eminent filmmakers and other distinguished persons in the fields of art and culture. Many a times, the schedules of active filmmakers clash with our screening dates which lasts a month. Confirming the availability of jury members at one point of time is a challenging task," says Rajeev Jain.
So, what does one do when 180 films from all over India land up in the New Delhi office of the Directorate and a disparate group of over 30 film jurors are made to watch 4 to 5 films a day and declare over 50 results within four weeks?
Coping with the numbers
"It may be very difficult for the national jury to choose the best films with due diligence because of increasing number of entries every year. So, an Expert Committee headed by Shyam Benegal recommended a two tier jury screening process to bring down the load on central jury," says Jain. The first tier consists of five different panels watching the 180 films entered and recommend around 50 films to the central panel. Next year the number of entries is expected to go up and the required period of jury screenings could go up to even two months.
But, with the rapid shift taking place in the world of digital projections, there will virtually be no celluloid film prints for circulation in the next two years, maximum. The DFF has to come up with high definition 4K projection systems and also accommodate the variety of formats in the international market today. And while DFF is deliberating, there is news that Christopher Nolan is shooting 6K resolution at 60 frames a second and James Cameron plans to shoot his next 3D film at 120 fps. Director Rajeev Jain assures us, "We are planning to be on par with the best theatre systems in terms of technology by next year. This may include popular digital formats also."
Vinay Shukla, a panel member, thinks that the only way to handle this situation is by decentralising this process out of Delhi and making the selection process an ongoing year-long affair. Chairperson of this year's jury Rohini Hattangady says, "Like we do in the world of theatre, films may have to be seen by eminent jurors in regular theatres all over India throughout the year and on a variety of release formats." Deliberations could be done over Skype or whatever to make the whole process more democratic and all-inclusive. The important thing is to give the most deserving filmmakers, artists and technicians their due recognition irrespective of the fact whether the producers apply for an award or not.

Pacquiao, Marquez at it again for fourth time
LAS VEGAS By now, there's nothing Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez don't know about each other. After 36 rounds in the ring - many of which could have been scored either way - there's not much fight fans don't know about the two, either.
They'll probably do 12 more rounds Saturday night, and if their three previous fights were any indication, the decision will be close. If styles make fights, their styles make for fights that can confound the ringside judges just as much as they do the people who pay to watch.
So what's the intrigue of fight No. 4? What reason do fight fans have other than the possibility of Marquez finally winning to spend money that for a fight that could be as predictable as the other three?
Maybe just because there's a good chance you'll never see the two ring generals battle each other again.
"I think this is the last fight with him," Pacquiao said.
"Last time," agreed trainer Freddie Roach. "We're going to knock him out. End of story."
That might prove difficult because it didn't happen in the first three fights and the general perception is that Pacquiao is beginning to slip, if just a bit. While no one is suggesting Pacquiao is still not a very good fighter, his last two fights were a disputed win over Marquez and an even more disputed loss against Timothy Bradley.
The line in the Pacquiao camp is that the fighter wasn't focused against Marquez last time because of domestic problems and that he was robbed against Bradley. They claim he has something to prove, especially if he is ever to get Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the ring, and has been ferocious in training camp.
"The fourth fight could be the same as the last three, but Manny's hungrier now," Roach said. "I don't think Marquez has seen the best Manny yet."
The rivalry between Pacquiao and Marquez goes back eight years, when they first met for the featherweight title and Pacquiao came out and floored Marquez in the first round. Marquez got up only to go down two more times in the round, yet somehow managed to end the round on his feet.
Marquez would not only survive, but come back to dominate the later part of the fight. He salvaged a draw on the judge's scorecards, the first of three decisions he felt unjustly favored Pacquiao.
They met again at 130 pounds in 2008 and the fight was almost as close. Pacquiao won one scorecard, Marquez the other, while the third judge favored Pacquiao by one point, giving him a split-decision win.
Then they fought last year at 144 pounds and Pacquiao won a majority decision that angered both Marquez and the crowd at the MGM Grand arena, which booed heavily when it was announced.
"Everybody knows what happened the last few fights," Marquez said. "I want to be more aggressive this time, but with intelligence, because Manny is a very dangerous fighter."

iHerb Customer Reviews
My wife loves this brand and has nothing but good things to say about it. She is EXTREMELY sensitive to smells, and most give her a headache, however this one works just fine for her. iHerb delivered our product very quickly and the price was excellent.
I have sensative skin which reacts to a lot of different bath products. I have had no reactio to this. The lavender has been inconsistant in packages, but still the same fragrance. I take baths Japanese style (shower thoroughly first in a separate area, then bathe in the same bathwater reheated for a few days--good for environment and utilities--plus, I live in Japan) and the fragrance lingers for 2 days.

After long claiming to welcome a robust debate on NSA surveillance, President Obama found the debate more robust – and more substantive – than he expected, especially after the leaks by Edward Snowden, as Danny Schechter explains.
Tag Archive for National Security Agency
If You Believe the Government, 'You're Stupid'
Americans are taught the myth that their democracy is safeguarded by an independent press. But the government and other powerful entities have long mastered the art of manipulating the major media, even to the point of bluntly telling reporters the facts of life, as Jon Schwarz recalls.
Judge Leon's Dirty Climb to the Bench
Exclusive: Civil libertarians are cheering federal judge Richard Leon for his ruling against the NSA's massive surveillance program – and that's all to the good – but Leon's route to the bench followed a twisted course of partisan investigations and one historic cover-up, Robert Parry reports.
The Bigger Risk: Private v. Public Spying
The fear of NSA's metadata collection is as much in the potential for Big Brother government as in the present – or as Edward Snowden says a "turnkey tyranny" all ready to go – but private-sector abuses are another worry, ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar writes.
Real Journalism v. Big Brother
In theory, pretty much everyone claims to like investigative journalism, even government officials. But the reaction is different when reporters expose troubling facts, especially if they make a favored country or politician look bad. Yet, that is what's needed, says Norman Solomon.
NSA Spying's Economic Fallout
Many Americans were shocked at Edward Snowden's leaks about the extent of the U.S. government's electronic surveillance but another downside is that people around the world are now bailing out on U.S.-based Internet companies, as best they can, writes Sander Venema.
Surveillance State Takes Offense
President Obama proclaims his love of "transparency" but has an odd idea what the word means. He generally defines it as sharing some information with Congress and the Courts but keeping the public in the dark and punishing those who ask too many questions, as William Blum explains.
Feinstein's Phony Excuse for NSA Spying
After 9/11, the excuse for missing clues was too much data – trying to sip from a fire hose – but with the priority now excusing NSA spying, the metaphor is for more data – you can't find a needle in a haystack without a haystack – a shift ex-FBI agent Coleen Rowley dissects.
Brazil's Challenge to US Dominance
Exclusive: Brazil's President Rousseff lashed out at U.S. spying during her UN speech, but there was a deeper message – the days when South America was Washington's compliant "backyard" are over. The U.S. government now has the choice of forging a more equal relationship with the region or facing damaging isolation, writes Andrés Cala.
Making the World the 'Enemy'
After 9/11, President George W. Bush turned to Civil War precedents to create military tribunals for trying alleged "terrorists." But in applying those draconian rules to a worldwide battlefield, he created the nightmarish potential for a global totalitarianism, as retired U.S. Army JAG officer Todd E. Pierce explains.

Best Western in Oran: A standard hotel
An appropriate hotel and it was nice that they even gave us a gift (a remote control toy car) for staying during the weekend. However, it is still totally beyond my comprehension why Best Western would have chosen a location outside the city!!! You would need to take a taxi to go down town.
Best Western is rated No. 1 in TripAdvisor.com. That's the very reason why I booked this hotel. I didn't regret. But, just like everything else in Algeria, the location is just odd. And, it was surrounded by slums. What else can you expect?!
- Reviews: 4223
When I first arrived in Oran from train station at Oran, I couldn't find my budget hotel nearby that was in the guidebook. 2 other nearby hotels were budget hotels that just did not appeal to me. Then I saw what looked like beautiful new, modern apartments in the middle of the street. Hotel Majestic it said. They still looked like apartments, but I couldn't figure out why they didn't have ugly air-conditioner units outside. When I stepped inside I found out why!
Hotel Majestic is a purpose built, designed and decorated modern hotel that looks beautiful, affords a wonderful nights sleep and is run by the best staff in Algeria. This place is a wonder. And it was an absolute oasis of serenity and rest in all my travels across Algeria. I am still so surprised I found them by happy accident. Please save this tip and make sure you stay here so you can benefit from my good luck.
The second you walk inside you start to see the beautiful art and décor created for your pleasure by the lady owner, Amel, whose name manes 'Hope' in Arabic. I hope you get to stay here too.
This hotel was designed by Amel and built by her and her husband in July 2011. It is also managed with Amel's university friend – also known named Amel.
I was welcomed like an old friend, shown a wonderful room and shown the views of the city from the 7th floor terrace. My room had a wonderful bed, remote control air-conditioning, TV, bath, shower, cold refrigerator, and a beautiful décor. It also was completely quiet and the best sleep I ever had in Algeria.
The real beauty of the Majestic is you get what you pay every hotel for, but rarely get – a good night's sleep!
The Majestic currently overlooks a building site of a road because they are building a tramway. That means you do not get any car and scooter noise at night – forever ! Yes, they only build in the day and when the trams are in there will never be traffic like the rest if the city at night. So if your budget is a bit lower, but you need sleep, stay here!
Across the hotel are artistic touches by Amel from the rooms to corridors and even stairs.
Across Africa safety is optional or even ignored. Not here. They have a modern smoke detection and fire suppression systems, 24 hour security and modern electrics. It's safer than safe.
The food is wonderful and I almost forgot my adventure soon after I arrived.
I had never been to Oran and Amel offered me a free walking tour of Oran and also to show me where to change money. I had the full orientation of Oran, a fantastic visit if the city, a good night's sleep and made some wonderful friends.
Too many hotels still trade on the fears on tourists and are outside the city, are over $200 a night and try and keep you away from the city.
Hotel Majestic does it all at a fraction of the price and is a short walk from the train station and every attraction in the city – except Fort Santa Cruz of course. Hotel Majestic can organise a car for you – no problem.
I love this hotel and the staff. It was a wonderful accident I found them.
Thanks Amel and Amel !!!!!

This is yet another cheap hotel in the middle of Algiers. This one is actually on a main shopping street, but just 2 blocks west of the main Rail Station and Ferry Terminal. You have shopping, restaurants, major attractions and the Casbah practically on your doorstep. This is considered to be one of the best hotels in the 'budget' range. Some rooms are air-conditioned.
Please note: I did not visit inside this hotel and the prices were about $30 according to my guidebook written in 2007. If you stay here or have more information, please email me and let me know. I will then update this tip. Also of you get in pictures from the inside, please send me a copy.
Thank you,

This is yet another cheap hotel in the middle of Algiers. You have everything you could possibly want on your doorstep or just 1-2 minutes of walking. Shopping, eating and sightseeing opportunities quite literally surround this hotel. Many of you major transport options are also very close by. This hotel has a reputation for being a bit quieter than some of the other budget hotels in the central zone of Algiers.
Please note: I did not visit inside this hotel and the prices were $17-20 according to my guidebook written in 2007. If you stay here or have more information, please email me and let me know. I will then update this tip. Also of you get in pictures from the inside, please send me a copy.

This is the former Grand Hôtel Arago. You guessed it. It was a nice hotel during the French colonial era. It has a reputation for having clean rooms, but not air-conditioning. It is located right in the middle everything from restaurants to shops, the Casbah, cafés, Tourist Information, tourist attractions, main Railway Station, Ferry Terminal, and the seafront.
Please note: I did not visit inside this hotel and the prices were $14-22 according to my guidebook written in 2007. If you stay here or have more information, please email me and let me know. I will then update this tip. Also of you get in pictures from the inside, please send me a copy.

This is another cheap hotel in the center of Algiers that has seen much better days. It was a hotel during French colonial times. It does have air-conditioned rooms, but is recommended for men only. This is next door to the Grand Hôtel Tipaza and convenient to every major attraction in Algiers. It is a 1-2 minute walk to the Casbah, main Railway Station, Tourist Information, restaurants, shops, cafés, and the main seafront.
Please note: I did not visit inside this hotel and the prices were $12-21 according to my guidebook written in 2007. If you stay here or have more information, please email me and let me know. I will then update this tip. Also of you get in pictures from the inside, please send me a copy.

Despite the elaborate name, this is a backpacker's accommodation with shared showers. This hotel is essentially across the main road from the main Railway Station. Its location is amazingly convenient for all the major attractions in the centre of Algiers. Restaurants and shops surround this location. The massive Casbah is 2 minutes walk and you are almost right on the main seafront. The Tourist Information Office is a stone's throw away and the Ferry Terminal is also very close by. Apparently this is a lively and somewhat noisy place as there are cafés and shops below the hotel. It is however generally quiet in Algiers at night.
Please note: I did not visit inside this hotel and the prices were $12 according to my guidebook written in 2007. If you stay here or have more information, please email me and let me know. I will then update this tip. Also of you get in pictures from the inside, please send me a copy.
This tip and 4 others were created after a question on the Algiers Travel forum. There is a real need for good hotel information in Algiers. I rented an apartment, so had limited experience with the local hotels here.
Thank you,

It once was. Very much so. Built in 1926-30 it was originally named the Hotel Aletti. It was a grand hotel with massive rooms, sweeping balconies looking out over the port and a place used by diplomats and high society. One of its most famous visitors was the American singer, Josephine Baker.
After Independence from France (1962) the President, Ahmed Ben Bella, nationalized this hotel and one other. Like any government run hotels in the world – it deteriorated from there. Today some websites list this as a 4 star hotel, want $150 a night and even list the services starting with 'Has an elevator'. Locally you could probably get in here at half that price, but why would you?
I visited the bar, restaurant, lobby and even the toilets. I quickly envisioned the ghastly descriptions of the rooms you can read on many websites. It's a real shame, Many guests comment on how grand the rooms were. Unfortunately you cannot turn back 40 years of neglect overnight. I hope they do finish what renovations have started. The hotel is in an excellent location with access to everything the center of the city can provide.
You could always stop by fro a drink in the massive (but empty) smoky bar.
Interestingly they offer non-smoking rooms. Hard to find in Algeria.
They have no direct email address that I could find.
If you really want to pay money to stay in a very run down old hotel, there are several to choose from. And they are all cheaper.

Even though I stayed here, it would have been my second choice in Ain Taya. It's ok. I cannot fault the location, cleanliness, comfort or service. Even after a negotiated rate, it was still a little pricey. Its right in the middle of Ain Taya in term of the main shopping/market area and the large beaches. A reasonable walk to both. And understanding of French would be highly recommended if you want to telephone them, but you can make reservations on their website in English. The only fault I had with them is that they put me in a doubled bedded room, and then tried to charge me for the higher rate when I checked out. They tried to indicate that I had 2 beds – luckily I made sure I never disturbed the other bed. I also pulled out my email correspondence and the correct rate was swiftly delivered to me.
I paid 3800 Dinars ($50) per night. So what do you get?
I was collected from the Airport for 1000 Dinars ($13) by the nice man who drives their hotel van. I was greeted warmly and shown around my room. Beds were ok – not great, but reasonable. The air-conditioning worked great, my fridge was quite large (and cold!), plenty of closet space and a reasonable bathroom. The shower was fine, the tub a bit small and awkward – a typical bath in Algeria for some reason. Toiletries were provided. Even though there was an ashtray, the room did not smell of smoke.
The hotel itself is quiet and somewhat basic. Breakfast is included and you get a boiled egg, a croissant, cheese and a few other bits with coffee or tea. They didn't seem to mind giving me breakfast at about 11am.
There are several good local stores within a 1 minute walk and also fast food. For a full restaurant you are looking at a 10-15 minute walk.
The local folks are awesome. If you say hello and visit the same shop the process drop slightly. There is absolutely no hassle although some people will stop you just to say hello and welcome you to Ain Taya.

Hilton: Algeria, Algier
Too much security check!!!!
Expensive hotel for the quality. Too much wanna be French style!!
The traditional restaurant Kasbah has a very nice Local food.
Do not trust the hotel personel. I was sending post card via the Hotel service and after 1 year no post card arrived to the destination. Simply the guys at the desk took the money and never snet the post cards.
They will not let you enter with any fruite or food even if you are going to have at your room.
Try to have the food in your back-pack, they don't like plastic bags.
The night-club at hilton is free for the guests and gets busy after midnight.

H. Seybouse: H. Seybouse
As Algeria has not chosen to develop tourism, the hotel offer is narrow. In large cities, there is one or two top class hotels (5 stars) like Hotel Seybouse in Annaba They are used by visitors that are here for their job and are expensive. Other hotels are very basic and our friends did not advise us to go there. I have no opinion on my own. In previous travels, we very seldom slept in hotels as once in the desert, sky was our roof. On the few occasions we had to sleep in hotels, some were indeed VERY basic. However, on our last visit, we have seen several that looks fine from outside.

Grand Hotel Tipasa: Cheapest Hotel right in Central Algeri
The hotel has seen better days but is it worth the value. It it set in Big Port Said square. It Is 800 Dinars for a Single room and 1000 for a double room(with a big Bed or twin beds). Breakfast included.
Be very wary at nightime as the square is quite seedy.
Do no use the lift which should fall now or then!!!!

On June, 7th, 1943, a conference was held at the hotel with Winston Churchill and Eisenhower. The latter had dinner with king George V, a few days after the conference.
At the end of war, the hotel was damaged by German bombings.After having been repaired and refurbished, the hotel re-opened in 1948. With its 180 rooms, the hotel offers its comfort and its charm to businessmen and tourists.

More than two decades after the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, Kevin Loomer found himself contemplating the events surrounding the terrorist attack that killed all 259 people on board and another 11 people on the ground.
It was last summer when Loomer gave a first read to the play "The Women of Lockerbie." At that same time, the bombing of the 747 that occurred over Lockerbie, Scotland, on Dec. 21, 1988, saw a resurgence in the media because of an act of compassion by the Scottish government.
"In August they let the fellow Libyan who was responsible for the Lockerbie bombing out of jail, he got cancer, so that he could die in his own country ... that news article came out about the same time that I was reading the play," Loomer recalled.
As he read through Deborah Brevoort's play -- which is loosely based on historical accounts of the victims' family members and local towns people who return to the crash site in search of personal items belonging to victims -- the Walla Walla Community College theater arts director realized that the play was graver than any previous productions he had seen produced on campus.
"This is a little hefty, and also the fact that she (Brevoort) has written in Greek tragic form it is not in the realm of what I am used to," Loomer said, adding that it would be a stretch for his drama students, who for the most part have been doing mostly "light-hearted" productions.
But even though "The Women of Lockerbie" is centered around a tragic occurrence, the play also has many uplifting qualities that take it beyond the scope of a tragedy, and possibly into the realm of a must-see production.
"I was moved by the story; it deals with issues of how do we work through grief and how do we work through issues of unforgiveness or hatred ... I personally believe this a real important piece. I fully believe that if people come with their hearts open to fully receive this thing, that they will leave with a gift," Loomer said.
The play centers around an American mother of a victim who has returned to the crash site, along with several Lockerbie women who have made it their goal to "convert an act of hatred into an act of love" by washing the clothes of the dead and returning those articles to the victims' families.
It is a serious play, one derived from a true tragedy. But for those who shy away from serious themes, Loomer also points out that "The Women of Lockerbie" is not truly a Greek tragedy and there is plenty of humor.
"You really, really need it," Loomer said, and added that along with some comic relief are strong undercurrents of hope.
"As a director, I have not let it end as hopeful as Deborah Brevoort said it should. I like the idea that it is hopeful, but there is still work to be done," Loomer said, noting he reworked only the lights and the script.
The setting is also a serene one, taking place in a rocky cove by a stream, which posed different challenges.
"It calls for running water on a stage, and I wanted to attempt that in the scene, but we have had two leaks so far," Loomer said.
There are some elements of Greek tragedy that are incorporated in Brevoort's work. The play is in poetic form. A Greek chorus is used. And as with traditional Greek tragedies, the actual tragic event is never played out on stage, but only described from witnesses.
"Terrorism is the tragedy of the day; it is kind of the thing we are dealing with right now ... But the end is very poignant, and it is not a tragedy in the truest sense of the word. It ends hopeful," he said.

David Hammer / Eyewitness News
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com | Twitter: @davidhammerWWL
NEWORLEANS- The first two weeks of the BP civil trial has mostly been a rehash of what we learned more than two years ago: That a series of cost- and time-saving decisions by BP led to the catastrophic blowout of its deepwater well and the deaths of 11 rig workers.
But little nuggets of evidence released this week -- some from the witness stand, but mostly through old deposition testimony -- shed new light on just how much BP employees in Houston knew about the dangers the Deepwater Horizon rig crew was facing.
Government experts called to the stand before U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier over the trial's first two weeks have concluded the following:
That BP was close to $40 million over-budget on its Macondo well when it blew;
That it chose to save $7 million to $10 million on the back end by using a questionable well-lining design;
That, in spite of warnings about increased risks, it chose to use fewer devices to ensure a good seal on the well;
That BP's top men on the rig looked at obviously disturbing pressure readings in the well and incorrectly declared the final test of the well's integrity a success;
That BP ordered the removal of protective drilling mud from the well and replaced it with lighter seawater, allowing gas and oil to shoot up to the surface;
And that BP failed to properly certify the fail-safe device on the top of the well, the blowout preventer, and the device failed to activate properly.
I came to the same conclusions in this story I wrote back in September 2010.
But the real issue now before Barbier is just how liable BP is. And for that, the government is alleging not just negligence, but gross negligence. The difference is extremely significant. Pollution fines due from BP to the federal government (and to be shared 80 percent among the Gulf states) if it's found simply negligent would be about $4.5 billion.
But if it's found grossly negligent or found to have engaged in willful misconduct, the fines would expand to about $17.6 billion.
Transocean, which leased the rig to BP and provided most of the crew, has already admitted its own simple negligence.
So, really, this trial comes down to how much BP and its real decision-makers knew about the problems at Macondo and when did they know it.
In that regard, the most important new testimony centered on a phone call between BP's top man on the rig and the engineer assigned to the Macondo project back in Houston. BP's head of safety, Mark Bly, left the phone call out of his accident investigation report entirely.
Government experts, meanwhile, testified that the rig supervisor, Donald Vidrine, gave the engineer, Mark Hafle, plenty of information about anomalies in the pressure readings that it should have caused Hafle to stop the drilling operation and that it would have prevented the explosion.
Government expert Allan Huffman testified last weekthat BP engineers failed to inform federal regulators when they decided to drill with a narrower-than-allowed margin between the pore pressure and the fracture gradient. The pore pressure is from oil and gas in the gaps in seabed rock, trying to escape. The fracture gradient is the pressure exerted the other way, from inside the hole outward, by fluids the drilling team pours down the well.
A drilling team always has to track those opposing pressures to make sure it's using heavy enough drilling mud to keep the well from collapsing in on itself, something known as a 'kick,' but not using too much that it causes cracks in the surrounding rock.
Macondo suffered two kicks before the final kick went uncontrolled and resulted in the blowout.
And depositions given by other members of the BP oversight team in Houston have now been released by the court. The most explosive was from geologist Bobby Bodek, whose emailsfrom weeks before the accident warn that they had 'run out of drilling margin' and that drilling any further had 'become a well integrity and safety issue.'
The other BP leaders ignored Bodek's concerns and decided to drill another 1,000 feet into the seabed. Professor Eric Smith from the Tulane Energy Institute says it was because the BP officials weren't thinking about a blowout, but just about making it through the next crisis.
'I think it is kind of interesting that the guy who is the most concerned convinces people to let him go out to the rig and then within a week he's pulled back to shore. Well, why? Because that particular kick was cured,' Smith said. 'And I think that's the kind of incremental decision-making that goes on.'
Most strikingly, Bodek's boss offers in one email to buy him drinks if the team can finish the well without any so-called 'non-productive time,' and Bodek writes back 'If they want to push this next hole section to TD (total depth), it will all be in God's hands.'
In other emails, Bodek told members of the elite 'Tiger Team' BP had put together to monitor Gulf drilling that the Deepwater Horizon crew was drilling too fast (85 feet per hour) to notice danger signs properly as mud-loggers and other experts read real-time data graphs tracking the pore pressure and fracture gradient thousands of feet under the sea.
But another scientist on his team, Kate Paine, blamed it on what she called a 'we can get away with this attitude,' and they decided to keep drilling at a high rate of speed.
'That might be good in some formations, but we're on the Golden Zone of hydrocarbons, which came out this week at the trial, and these really fragile Myocene subsalt formations, and the data can't be interpreted when you're going this fast,' said Lillian Miller Espinoza-Gala, a member of the Deepwater Horizon Study Group from the University of California at Berkeley a group that reported its findings to President Barack Obama's Oil Spill Commission.
'In some ways I would compare it to driving 90 miles an hour on a steep mountain cliff.'
Espinoza-Gala says that is willful misconduct. But Tulane's Smith says it's far from the smoking gun Judge Carl Barbier will need to see to rule gross negligence.
'I think they're going to find a series of incremental decisions, well-meaning, some riskier than others,' Smith said. 'But they're not going to find somebody saying, 'I don't care if it kills the whole crew and sinks the ship, do it.' That's not gonna happen.'

Yes! I bought this hat and scarf for my sister to match her WHITE white coat. It definitely was ivory and not white at all. It would have definitely clashed with her white coat. We searched high and low for a white set and did find white white at a Dick's Sporting Good store. Hope this helps!

Five fighters in danger of being cut
As UFC president Dana White is quick to point out, the window of opportunity in this sport is short. Some fighters, like Antonio McKee, have been cut after a single loss. Two losses in a row is going to happen on average to 25% of the fighters, and is not necessarily a cause for release. Three in a row is close to being certain exile.
Below is a selection of fighters who are likely one loss or at most two away from being gone.
Beyond these five, what fighters do you think are a loss away from being released?

MMM might marketability have something to do with things? Though i do think it would be hard for Zuffa to hang on to Hardy if he lost against Ludwig you cannot deny that he fought some pretty stellar competition (GSP,Condit,Johnson when he was still focused and a Chris Lytle in his ''home'' town and last fight)....Ludwig will get dropped after a lose but been their before and probably be a nice addition to Strikeforce.Cane will be gone after a lose (to many Brazilians out their) though Akiyama would probably be kept on if he performs reasonable well.
5/3/12 5:40 PM by nhbguy
How on earth is Duane Ludwig in danger of being cut? He's won 2 out of his last 3 and he's always in good fights. I think he's built up enough cred in his career to not be anywhere near a cut list at this point.
5/3/12 5:35 PM by Son of Neckbone
Silva is not on the chopping block. His only losses have been to the apex predators of the division, former champions and current contenders, and Shogun's another former champ.Dan Hardy and Ludwig aren't in real danger either as long as they both fight gamely. Ludwig looked great in his last loss against Neer, and Hardy is sadly more recognizable than all the other British fighters save Bisping (I'm talking about the avg mma fan here, not you elitist UG experts).Cane though will likely be gone with a loss, and Akiyama has shown me no reason to be fighting at this level.
5/3/12 5:30 PM by RKing85
On this weekends card, if the following guys lose, I think they will be cutMike Massenzio, Karlos Vermola, Dennis Bermudez, Louis Gaudinot, and Pat Barry (not really, but if I was running the UFC, he'd be gone)

5. Painted Red Mohawk 4. He "wars" (whatever that means, has he had any meaningful offense at all in his last 4 fights?) 3. Painted Red Mohawk. 2. From England 1. Painted Red Mohawk
5/3/12 3:46 PM by kulraven
I vote to drop none of the above. Most of these guys are fighters who will actually, you know, fight. Please stop flooding the UFC with wrestlers. Im not a wrestling hater either, I love the sport and my own son is a pretty fair wrestler. But the problem is when I want to watch a fight, I dont want to watch a wrestling match. Not all wrestlers fight in boring fashion of course, but many do.Lets not cut guys who come to fight just because they cant beat the best of the best.
5/3/12 1:35 PM by MRG1
so Dan Hardy should be cut, but its cool for Akiyama to lose 5 in a row? most of you are basing your decisions off of emotion. sorry, but, Hardy has done more in/for the ww division than Akiyama has. Both are very exiting fighters for the most part though... so like someone else stated, i say they stay until either one loses to someone that is not top 10.
5/3/12 12:49 PM by rbl
I'm starting to like Leonard Garcia. He fights like a well trained striker who's blind drunk (which is funny) and he seems to be enjoying himself. It's also interesting to see how other fighters deal with a guy who basically swings for the fences for fifteen minutes straight. Shame about the decisions though.
5/3/12 12:03 PM by sparkuri
EXACTLY. Mod voted up. : )
5/3/12 11:36 AM by Atomac
So Thiago is considered being cut even though he lost to two former champs who both very recently had another title shot and one of the most promising up and comers who he fought on short notice after a year lay off? Realistic.

Prep football: Immokalee's next set of stars goes through growing pains in spring game loss
IMMOKALEE — The Immokalee High School football team hopes it's found its next set of household names in the small, pigskin-crazed town.
A steady stream of Division I college football players has flowed through Immokalee dating back to former NFL player Edgerrin James in the late 1990s. In recent years, college coaches have flocked to the agricultural community to recruit five-star studs like J.C. Jackson (Florida) and D'Ernest Johnson (South Florida) last season.
In Friday's spring game, the Indians looked sloppy at times during a 48-13 loss to Clearwater Central Catholic. However, there were glimpses of greatness from a trio of skill position players.
Quarterback Jacob Lee Gallegos threw for 206 yards. Running back Taeler Porter gained 114 yards on 21 carries. Ta'Riq Brown had 95 receiving yards and ran for a touchdown.
All three will be seniors next season when they get their first crack as starters.
"We did a fairly good job," Gallegos said. "We just beat ourselves. We have to work at finishing drives off."
Behind what Immokalee hopes is its next generation of stars — Gallegos, Porter and Brown — the Indians had success on offense. Immokalee gained 320 yards on a Marauders defense that gave up less than 12 points a game last season.
The problem was turnovers. The Indians gave the ball away five times. Immokalee turned it over three times inside the Marauders' 25-yard line in the second quarter. Two of those turnovers, a Brown fumble and a Gallegos interception, came at the goal line. Immokalee trailed 14-7 at the time.
"It's all correctable, which is why I'm not pulling what hair I have left on my head out," said Rich Dombroksi, who is entering his second season as Immokalee's head coach. "I know we're going to work our butts off this summer. We're going to correct it and get after it in the fall."
The Indians have relied on speedy, scrambling quarterbacks the past few seasons. With Gallegos, Immokalee has more of a pocket passer.
The past four seasons — three with Tshumbi Johnson and one with Louinelson Celian — Immokalee quarterbacks have averaged 635 rushing yards. Last year the Indians threw the ball 17 times a game.
On Friday, Gallegos went 16-of-27 passing for 170 yards in the first half alone. Last year, the Indians didn't pass for that many yards in eight of their 12 games. The most passing attempts Immokalee had in a game in 2013 was 26. Gallegos went 21 of 34 on Friday, which included six dropped passes.
Gallegos connected with six receivers. His favorite target was Brown, who caught eight balls.
Brown missed all of last season after injuring his back in a utility vehicle accident. He said he's 100 percent healthy, and looks forward to what he and Gallegos can do together.
"If we continue to work and get our timing together, we're going to do big things," Brown said.
If Gallegos' left arm can remain accurate, he could put up the big numbers Dombroski's quarterbacks enjoyed when the coach was at Estero. During Dombroski's final four years at his last stop (2009-12), the Wildcats averaged 237 passing yards a game.
Estero had a quarterback throw for more than 2,000 yards each of those seasons. Could Gallegos be next?
"I think so," Dombroski said. "And Taeler Porter running for about 1,500 yards. That's 350 yards of offense (a game). I'd be very happy with that."

CCC — Smith 77 run (Ramos kick), 11:42

My Rating
We really enjoyed our trip to Tulum (despite the blistering heat which our guide kindly tried to keep us out of and in the shade) and loved the zipline, avatar and swimming (well floating really) in the subterrean caves - brilliant fun. All the staff at Hidden Worlds and our driver Rene were great. Highly recommend this day out.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a range of complex neurodevelopment disorders, characterized by social impairments, communication difficulties and restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
While autistic disorder, sometimes called autism or classical ASD is the most severe form of ASD, other conditions along the spectrum include a milder form known as Asperger syndrome, and childhood disintegrative disorder and pervasive development disorder.
Common signs
The hallmark feature of ASD, according to the NINDS, is impaired social interaction. Even as early as infancy, a baby with ASD may be unresponsive to people or focus intently on one item to the exclusion of others for long periods of time.
They may appear to develop normally, and then withdraw and become indifferent to social engagement. Children with ASD may fail to respond to their names and often avoid eye contact with other people. They have difficulty interpreting what others are thinking or feeling because they cannot understand social cues, such as tone of voice or facial expressions.
How is it diagnosed?
ASD varies widely in severity and symptoms and my go unrecognized, especially in mild cases. Very early indicators that require evaluation by an expert include:
• no babbling or pointing by age one
• no single words by 16 months or two-word phrases by age two
• no response to name or poor eye contact
• loss of language or social skills
• excessive lining up of toys or objects
• no smiling or social responsiveness
Later indicators include impaired ability to make friends with peers or sustain conversations with others, restricted patterns of interest that are abnormal in intensity or focus, inflexible adherence to specific routines or rituals, or absence or impairment of imaginative and social play.
What causes Autism?
Scientists aren't sure about what causes ASD, but they feel it's likely that both genetic and environment play a role. Researchers have identified a number of genes associated with the disorder.
The theory that parental practices are responsible for ASD has long been disproved, according to NINDS. Twin and family studies strongly suggest that some people have a genetic predisposition to Autism. There are an umber of studies in progress to determine the specific genetic factors associated with the development of ASD.
In families with one child with ASD, the risk of having a second child with the disorder is approximately five percent, or one in 20, which is greater than the risk for the general population.
The NINDS said that researchers are looking for clues about which genes contribute to this increased susceptibility.
Do symptoms change over time?
For many children, symptoms improve with treatment and age. Although there is no cure for ASD, therapies and behavioral interventions are designed to remedy specific symptoms and can bring about substantial improvement.
Educational/behavioral interventions, medications, and other therapies are used to treat the symptoms of ASD.

Don't live up north, but still want to build a snowman? Now's your chance. Snowman Cupcakes are fun and easy to make for the whole family. The base of this recipe is an uncomplicated chocolate cupcake. After topping them with an equally easy-to-make butter cream frosting, then it's time for the fun. Making the snowmen. Marshmallows are used for the snowmen's bodies and orange or red gummy fish for the noses. Topping them with a chocolate covered mint candy gives them a cute little hat to finish of the look.

Vanilla Snowman Cupcakes with Vanilla Icing
These vanilla snowman cupcakes are rather healthy, that is, until you add in the "snowman" decorations! The cupcakes are made from a boxed mix that has yogurt, water and egg whites added to it. This keep the low-fat factor fairly high. The frosting is made from vanilla extract, sugar, water and unsalted butter. Once the cupcakes are baked and iced, the fun begins – the mini-marshmallows and other candies that go on top aren't exactly low in fat, but they sure taste great and make these treats look adorable!

Google Christmas Cupcakes!
Cupcakes can be used as gifts for many different occasions. These particular ones are made of chocolate, and are topped with frosted green "Christmas trees" that have been covered with edible pearls that resemble ornaments. The Google topper that has been placed on top of each in lieu of a star lets the recipients know who presented them with the delicious treats. Of course, this is a holiday example, but you can hand them out as birthday gifts or for any holiday that you can think of!

These particular cupcakes are baked in standard cupcake liners, although you can substitute holiday ones to amp up their level of fun!

Snowman Cupcakes
Making snowman cupcakes are ideal for keeping kids occupied during the cold and wet days of winter weather, in the warmth of the kitchen. The fun of 'building a snowman' to decorate vanilla filled cupcakes certainly appeals to young people as well as to the not so young! If you want to cut down on the candy for the face, then use decorating gel, which works just as well. Otherwise, finish the snowman face with sprinkles or else some small round candy corn and some fruit leather. Mugs of hot chocolate together with snowman cupcakes are most appealing winter treats.

Festive Gingerbread Cupcakes
Gingerbread cookies and cupcakes make a great snack no matter the time of year, however, they seem to go best with a nice mug of spiced cider or hot chocolate on a cold winter morning. These Festive Gingerbread Cupcakes are no exception. "What makes them so festive," you ask? Is it the combination of the gingerbread batter and the swiss meringue buttercream frosting? Partially. But the true "festiveness" comes in the form of the tiny gingerbread houses perched atop each of these tasty treats. Two goodies in one, as they say.

The vision that Jesus gives us is this: That I am unconditionally loved, that I belong to God, and that I am a person who can really trust that. When I meet another person who also is rooted in the heart of God, then the spirit of God in me can recognize the spirit of God in the other person, and then wew can start building a new space, a new home, a house, a community. Whether we speak about friendship, community, family, marriage, in the spiritual world we are talking about spirit recognizing [...]

Sampling in Google Analytics or in any analytics software refers to the practice of selecting a subset of data from your property's traffic. Sampling is widely used in statistical analysis because analyzing a subset of data gives similar results to analyzing all of the data. In addition, sampling speeds up processing for reports when the volume of data is so large as to slow down report queries.
If your property has many millions of pageviews per month, sampling the traffic data collection for your site means that you will get good report results in a reasonable amount of time. Even if the data for your site is not sampled when it is collected, certain types of reports will contain sampled results, due to the nature of the query. For more information, see the Wikipedia article on sampling.
This document describes the two kinds of sampling that can occur in Analytics
Report Data Sampling
Regardless of how your traffic data is collected (sampled or unsampled), Analytics may examine only a portion of the collected data when calculating the result for a report. This type of sampling is called report sampling. It occurs automatically when you query for data that is not available in aggregate.
For example, suppose you query a Content Detail report for your top page, which received 80,000 pageviews over the past month. That information has been automatically compiled in the Analytics database, so the report can quickly display the actual pageview number. However, if you then query that same page for pageviews by browser, you are requesting data that has not automatically been compiled, which means that a special query is needed to do the calculation and this can trigger sampling by Analytics. Analytics indicates that a report is sampled with a notification in yellow at the top of the screen. It provides further information about the sampled metrics, as described below.
If either one of the following thresholds are met, Analytics samples data accordingly:
- 1,000,000 maximum unique dimension combinations for any type
of query.
What does this mean? Suppose you request a content report for your site, which has visits to 1,000,000 unique URLs for the requested date range. In such a situation, your report would take a very long time to load in order to display all the unique URLs for that date range. To avoid this, Google Analytics retrieves a maximum of 1,000,000 unique URLs (or any other dimension value) for a given request, divided by the number of days in the request. For example:
- A report for the past 30 days would display approximately 30,000 unique URLs (e.g. 1,000,000/30).
- A report for the past 60 days will display a maximum of 16,000 unique URLs (e.g. 1,000,000/60).
- 500,000 maximum sessions for special queries where the data
is not already stored.
In many of the reports, the list dimension is fixed, so Analytics can store this data. This enables Analytics to deliver timely reporting information for large data sets. However, if you request an ad hoc set of dimensions, that information is not stored and Analytics will need to perform the calculation at the time of the request. In this case, only 500,000 sessions will be processed in order to improve the response time. Your report query might easily exceed 500,000 sessions if you request an adhoc dimension over an expanded date range. To get a sense of how many sessions might appear in your request, you can use the sessions metric over the date range you intend to query. This maximum of 500,000 session applies per property.
For data sampling, keep in mind that the larger the data set being sampled, the more reliable the estimate, and vice versa.

Spate of domestic violence causes concern
April was a black month for domestic violence on Waiheke.
The island's Living Without Violence service received 15 police notifications about domestic violence incidents last month, three times as many as most months, says agency manager Merran Lawler and programmes and promotions coordinator Lisa Smith.
Serious violence was involved in some of the incidents, but the reasons for the sudden spate remain elusive.
Selling the Garden of Eden to the highest bidder
Greenpeace International co-founder Susi Newborn takes a clear-sighted look at the biggest issue the planet has ever faced, and what New Zealand needs to do about it.
Do your eyes glaze over when you hear the words 'climate change' or 'global warming'? Don't worry, it is actually extremely common and has more to do with how our brains are hard-wired than failure to understand something where the risks approach existential peaks unseen in historical human experience.
Human beings are saddled with a 'loss aversion' shortcoming, which means that we are more afraid of losing what we want in the short-term than surmounting obstacles in the distance.
Explore ferry petition hits Parliament
A petition calling for Explore ferries to receive SuperGold card subsidies has been signed by 1569 people and presented to Parliament.
The petition was organised by Barbara Wilkinson, Dane Dixon and others on Waiheke, and was presented under the name of Waiheke Ferry Users Group chairperson Daniel Silva.
He says another 100 signatures were collected after the petition was handed over to Auckland Central MP Nikki Kaye.
New rules on dogs proposed
Proposed new rules on dog access to beaches and parks have been drafted by Waiheke Local Board.
The new rules for Waiheke and Rakino Island will go out for public consultation next month, as part of the dog registration process.
The proposed rules retain restrictions on the times dogs can be taken on most beaches between Omiha and Pie Melon Bay from Labour Day to Easter.

Crystal Honey Sauce
1/2 cup Crystal hot sauce
1/4 cup honey
This recipe originates with Chef Darin Nesbit of the Bourbon House. Chef Darin tosses fried alligator in the sauce and serves it with blue cheese dressing for dipping, a la buffalo wings.
Bring the 1/2 cup Crystal hot sauce to a boil in a saucepan and boil until it has reduced in volume by half. Add the honey to the hot sauce, return to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook together for 10 minutes.
To use the sauce, toss in fried seafood (shrimp, oysters, frog's legs or alligator) or fried chicken wings and serve immediately.
This sauce may also be used as a basting sauce for pork or chicken.

RT @BLMDetroit: #BLMDetroit Are you coming to" #Detroit to #Ferguson" 630PM Tonight @MGCollege ? Live tweet using #D2Ferguson http://t.co/J…
The REBUILD Detroit Program, a consortium of Marygrove College, University of Detroit Mercy, Wayne State University and Wayne County Community College District, seeks three postdoctoral training fellows (PTFs) to support the implementation of a $21.2 M five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The goal of the REBUILD Detroit Program is to transform undergraduate education at the four member institutions to establish Detroit as a center for biomedical research training for underrepresented undergraduate students.
The PTFs will collaborate with consortium faculty, staff, and undergraduate students to design a common curriculum emphasizing mentored research among Detroit's diverse student populations leading to accelerated pipelines into master's and doctoral degrees to ensure students succeed in biomedical research careers. This common curriculum will include courses containing authentic research experiences based on the Research Coordination Network (RCN) model in the areas of biology, chemistry, and social/health sciences. For more information, see www.rebuildetroit.org.
We seek postdoctoral candidates with a strong interest in undergraduate teaching and research. PTFs will work closely with faculty mentors across the four institutions on: implementing innovative pedagogical strategies in courses based on the RCN model, facilitating a RCN learning community with graduate teaching fellows at each institution, engaging with undergraduate BUILD Scholars on joint research experiences, and participating in various capacities in summer enrichment programs.
Program Objectives:
For PTFs, it is expected that this role in the REBUILD Detroit Program will provide opportunities to significantly deepen your understanding of and skills in science teaching in a higher education environment including community colleges, regional or state colleges, and primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs). Over the course of this two-year fulltime fellowship, PTFs will design learning experiences, assessments, and laboratory exercises; engage in research activities with students; guide student learning communities; teach using evidence-based methods; meet with mentors; and participate in professional development workshops and conferences. In addition to gaining the above experiences, PTFs will develop a teaching portfolio to prepare for future positions with a strong emphasis in undergraduate STEM education. It is also expected that the PTF will actively seek a full-time faculty position during the second year of their fellowship.
The REBUILDETROIT Program Postdoctoral training fellowships are open to postdoctoral scientists with an interest in undergraduate STEM education (a potential to blend their research with undergraduate education). Eligibility is not restricted to scientists in biomedical programs, but they should have previous research experience with the disciplinary content associated with one of the RCN models:
Applicants should have a commitment to excellence in undergraduate teaching as well as an active research agenda related to one of the RCN areas.
To be eligible for the fellowship, applicants must be: 1) U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the United States at the time of application; 2) received a doctoral degree (PhD or equivalent) in a STEM discipline (including social and behavioral sciences) no earlier than 2009 and before September 2015.
This is a 2-year fellowship funded by a NIH grant.
Application Process:
Complete applications must include the following items.
Review of applications will begin April 30, 2015. Applicants will be notified by May 31, 2015. Fellowships will commence Fall 2015.

A rusted 1.5-meter-tall piece of landing gear, believed to be of one of the hijacked planes destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks has been discovered near the World Trade Center, wedged between a luxury apartment building and a mosque site that once prompted virulent national debate about Islam and free speech.
The twisted metal part, jammed in an 18-inch-wide sliver of open space between the buildings, has cables and levers on it and is about 17 inches wide and 1.2 meters long, New York Police Department Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.
"It's a manifestation of a horrific terrorist act a block-and-a-half away from where we stand," he said. "So, sure, it brings back terrible memories to anyone who was here or who was involved in that event."
Mr. Kelly edged down the narrow passageway to look at the object on Friday, noting there is also a piece of rope intertwined with the part in what looks like a broken pulley that may have come down from the roof of the site of the planned Islamic community center at 51 Park Place.
The piece of equipment was discovered on Wednesday by surveyors inspecting the lower Manhattan site of the planned community center on behalf of the building's owner, police said.
An inspector was on the roof and noticed the debris and then called police, who secured the scene, documenting it with photos.
It includes a clearly visible Boeing Company identification number, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said.
"The odds of this being wedged between there is amazing," he said adding it was not surprising that it went undiscovered for more than a decade given the location. "It had to have fallen just the right way to make it into that space." Other World Trade Center wreckage had been discovered at buildings and around the area in years past.

Let''s not wax too poetic about the W32.
I think the W32 is all image and little boat.
Another way to look at the Perfect Storm story is that the W32 was so un-manageable and uncomrfotable in the storm that the crew demanded to get off, even thought he boat was in no danger of sinking.
My best recollection of a W32 was joining tacks with one on Narragansett Bay in 20-25 mph winds. She had all these neat brown sails up, a Yankee and a staysail and a full main as I recall. However we quickly left her behind in my friend''s old Cal 25, going a few degrees higher and 1-2 knots faster.
Boats are all about tradeoffs of performance versus seakeeping ability versus robust construction, but a some point there is no excuse for just plain slow. The W 32 may look shipley on a calendar cover, but the boat is a dog.
