I grewup playing Pinball machines. I worked at a local golf driving range which had a arcade room the early 1970s. Many machines were the analog points displays, you know "clank, clank, clank, ding ding! Several baseball games and the like. One day I went to another Arcade room in the 1980s and played Data Easts' "TIME MACHINE".
I became hooked on this machine, the music, changing from the 80s all the way back to the 50s, and "Timewarp! This machine has multiball play and when all 3 balls are locked in on the slide, the chimes would go off and all 3 balls would converge on the flippers!
I had not played pins for awhile until this year in Las Vegas at the Pinball Hall of Fame. There I spied my Time Machine! I said to my self, okay I have to have this machine. I went on line and found one locally to me. I checked it out and I bought it! It is great!
Way to go full circle martyspain!
I love those stories...
you must of seen some great pinball machines at that golf range back in the 70s- good luck on your first pin

Adrian Marcel - Waiting
Artist: Adrian Marcel
Producer: St. Nick
Album: 7 Days of Weak
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 8 votes )
Unable to Watch this Youtube Video? Click here to play in Soundcloud instead.
After three months with a nary a new record in sight (Promo cut Caught Up hit our front page in late December.), Adrian Marcel fans in the Booth are likely beginning to experience withdrawals. Which is one hell of a coincidence; as the L7/Universal Republic signee reveals on his first feature of the new year, he's been in an analogous situation with regard to a certain woman. On the freshly-released lead single off his forthcoming mixtape, St. Nick's slow-burning electronic boardwork sets the mood as the Oakland crooner addresses a girl who's been on his mind ever since she walked out of his life. Remote as the possibility may seem, he can't help but for her return. For this heartbroken single and much more (including boardwork by such notable producers as J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League and 1500 Or Nothing), check out Raphael Saadiq Presents: 7 Days of Weak, out now.

MI Supreme Court dismisses challenge to indigent defense system
By Rick Pluta, Michigan Public Radio Network
A divided Michigan Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit challenging the state's system for providing lawyers for criminal defendants who can't afford to pay an attorney.
The court split along party lines. The four Republican justices said it's up to the governor and the Legislature - not the courts -- to design and fund a system for ensuring legal representation for poor defendants. The American Civil Liberties Union filed the challenge, focusing on three counties.
Michael Steinberg is the Michigan ACLU's legal director.
"Innocent men and women are ending up in jail and the perpetrators are left in the streets to commit more crimes," he says.
National studies rank Michigan's indigent defense system among the worst in the country. The court's three Democrats dissented, and said they would have allowed the case to go forward. They said the Republican majority focused on the prospect of an expensive solution before the key question was settled - and that is whether poor defendants are being denied their constitutional rights.

Interior to start over for cloud email with an RFI
Thursday - 9/29/2011, 7:06pm EDT
The Interior Department did not make a deal with Google and Onix in exchange for the companies dropping their contract award protest.
But Interior will conduct market research over the next few months to determine how they will proceed with moving its email and collaboration tools to a cloud services provider.
"In accordance with Interior's authority to determine its business requirements and procurement methods, we intend to conduct research to evaluate cloud computing market places' evolution over the past 18 months," said Drew Malcomb, an DoI spokesman. "If the research indicates that market conditions warrant a new procurement for agencywide cloud based messaging and collaboration services, the department will proceed in that manner. We appreciate Google's decision to withdraw its protest so we may continue to manage this procurement in a fair and transparent manner."
In court documents, Interior said it was developing a new request for information for cloud email and collaboration services.
But an Interior official said if the agency finds the deal with Softchoice/Microsoft is the best one to meet their needs, they will not issue a new request for proposals and return to the award with Microsoft.
Google and Onix withdrew its protest before the Court of Federal Claims Sept. 22.
Judge Susan Braden approved Google/Onix's motion Sept. 28.
Both companies were ready to get on with the procurement.
"We are pleased the case has been dismissed, and that the Department of Interior can proceed to obtain the secure email system it needs," said a Microsoft spokesman in an emailed statement. "We are fully prepared to continue competing for the department's business and are confident that we offer the best cloud solutions and value."
"We're pleased with the outcome of our discussions with the Department of Interior, and look forward to the opportunity to compete for its business and save taxpayers money," said a Google spokesman in an emailed statement.
The Interior official said the department didn't settle with Google and Onix. The companies decided to withdraw on their own.
This procurement is about to enter its second year. Last October, Interior chose Softchoice Corp. to provide email-as-a-service and other collaboration tools in the cloud featuring Microsoft products for its 80,000 employees.
Onix and Google protested the $59 million award alleging Interior didn't hold a fair and open competition.

Wild celebrates 80th birthday in Heidelberg
In a humid Heidelberg this morning, Dr Hans-Peter Wild addressed invited guests, reflecting on the company's history, its current status and its future expansion beyond Europe.
See a selection of photos from the press conference in this Flickr gallery.
Coincidentally, Dr Hans-Peter Wild celebrates his own milestone on 16 June, as he turns 70. I spoke to a number of people at the press conference, all of whom testified to Wild's influence on the company, and of the so-called 'Wild-Geist'.
"My goal has always been, and still is, to safeguard the long-term continuance of my parents' family business, which I have expanded into an internationally successful corporation," he said.
On the eve of the company's 80th anniversary, Dr Wild views the future with confidence: "The company is in an excellent position for further growth. We operate within a healthy industry, the firm has a solid basis and excellent staff, and really does create added value for the customer."
I had a chat with Mike Ponder (global CEO of Wild Flavors) and Erik Donhowe (chief operating officer North America), which you can hear below.

SAFLINK Wins Florida Port Security Contract Award.
BELLEVUE, Wash., May 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SAFLINK(R) Corporation , a leading developer, marketer, and integrator of security solutions, today announced that the State of Florida has given notice of its intent to award SAFLINK, and its partners, a contract for the Florida Seaport Gate Control System project to be installed at each of Florida's twelve deepwater seaports. If fully deployed under this intent to award, the aggregate revenue to SAFLINK could exceed a half million dollars.
Under the terms of the bid and award, up to 1,035 fixed physical access readers would be installed in the Florida deepwater port facilities. The Gate Control System would be used to manage physical access by way of access control fingerprint readers installed at gates at each facility. The SAFLINK devices would deliver significant flexibility and permit up to a seven layer security profile designed to manage access to restricted and secure areas within the port system. Florida evaluated SAFLINK, and its partners, as the highest scoring team among six vendor teams competing for the project.
Florida's specification was developed in concert with the US Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Agency's (TSA) Transportation Workers Identification Credential (TWIC) Program. The TWIC Program provides the credential for the implementation of the Florida Uniform Port Access Credential (FUPAC).
"We are pleased with Florida's selection of our team's solution. We believe it validates the products and expertise SAFLINK supplied to the TSA on Phase III of the TWIC program -- at locations within and outside of Florida," said Glenn Argenbright, CEO of SAFLINK. "We expect to see additional TWIC-compliant procurements by states and local governmental bodies. We plan to pursue these opportunities aggressively."

If you're just dipping your toes into the bread machine waters, you might prefer to start with a basic bread machine, and if you love bread, but can't tolerate gluten, you'll want to see our discussion of gluten-free bread machines.
There's no better reviewed bread machine than the Zojirushi BB-CEC20 Home Bakery Supreme 2-Pound-Loaf Breadmaker (Est. $250). It's highly versatile, easy to use and turns out perfect bread virtually every single time. It can also make cakes, French bread, cookies, pasta and even meat loaf.
Users praise the BB-CEC20 for its many options, noting in particular its 10 total cycles. Three of them are quick, and users say it's nice to have fresh, warm bread in about 2 hours or so. There are other special recipe settings as well, and a very comprehensive recipe book that teaches you how to use them. The three crust-color options include light, medium and dark, and it has a 13-hour programmable timer so you can come home to, or wake up to, a hot loaf of bread. Users say that the BB-CEC20 is solid and durable. Many owners have owned this Zojirushi bread maker for years, have baked hundreds of loaves and say that they still come out perfectly.
One of this bread makers most popular features is its shape. While most bread machines make a vertical loaf that results in almost "round" slices when you cut them, the BB-CEC20 is a horizontal design and that results in bread slices that are more like store bought – better for sandwiches and toast, say users. They also love that it has a sourdough starter function, since many people feel that sourdough bread is one of the healthiest types you can eat.
The Zojirushi BB-CEC20 bread machine uses dual paddles to mix dough. Expert bakers agree that bread makers with dual paddles do a better job of kneading than single-paddle machines, which can leave bits of flour and other ingredients unmixed in the corners of the bowl. Users agree, consistently noting the efficiency of the dual paddles, and most are pleased with the machine's performance. It is large and heavy, but owners also say its brushed stainless finish is attractive enough to sit out on the counter.
Zojirushi makes another top-rated bread machine, the Zojirushi BB-PAC20 Home Bakery Virtuoso Breadmaker (Est. $350). It has a few more bells and whistles than its smaller brother, including a clock and stay-cool handles. It also has a gluten-free bread setting. One interesting feature is a heating element in the lid, which is intended to produce a darker and more even crust. In most regards, it draws reviews that are just as good as for the BB-CEC20, and even better feedback for more consistent results with whole wheat and whole grain breads. Owners also love the automatic pause, which allows them to stop the cycle temporarily to shape the loaf.
Smaller families or singles may appreciate the Zojirushi BB-HAC10 Home Bakery 1-Pound-Loaf Programmable Mini Breadmaker (Est. $190), which makes just 1-pound loaves. It has some good features, too, although not as many as its bigger brothers. Those features include two crust-color settings, a 13-hour timer and a number of customizable settings. The BB-HAC10 requires less counter space than the larger BB-CEC20 and weighs less, but otherwise operates similarly. It only makes vertical loaves, however; while the larger Zojirushi's make horizontal loaves. If making your bread from scratch is a priority and you don't need a bigger machine, this smaller Zojirushi BB-HAC10 bread maker is a solid choice.
Still, the bottom line is that while any of these Zojirushi bread makers could be a worthy addition to your kitchen, depending on your needs, for most families the BB-CEC20 is likely to be the perfect fit.

Visit Colle di Val d'Elsa
Colle di Val d'Elsa is a hill town in the Siena province of central Tuscany. There are lots of places of interest and historical buildings to discover in the small historical center and Colle di Val d'Elsa is in a scenic location, so a visit is recommended.
The city celebrates itself as the city of Arnolfo and the surrounding territory as Terre di Arnolfo - Arnolfo di Cambio is a celebrated 13th century sculptor and architect.
Historically Colle included three different villages: Piano - the newer (but still now very old) part in the valley and Borgo di Santa Caterina and Castello di Piticciano on the ridge of the hill above.
Explore Colle di Val d'Elsa
Your visit to Colle de Val d'Elsa can start in the Piazza Arnolfo in the newer part of the town. This square is surrounded by buildings with porticos (arcades) and dates from the second half of the 19th century. If you want to head straight to the old town and most of the sights that are popular with visitors you can follow the route from here that leads along Via San Sebastiano, although we suggest you take the time to explore the other highlights in the Lower Town and Upper Town first...
Lower town
Staying for a look around the lower town first, from Piazza Arnolfo you reach the Piazza Bartolomeo then continuing on you get to the Chapel of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. On the other side of the square are the 16th century Shrine of Our Lady of Renaio and the 10th century Church of Santa Maria Assunta - this church is located not far from the 11th century Benedictine Abbey.
At the Monte Spugna is the Cartiera (Paper Mill) della Buca, home to the Paper and Printing Museum. Facing the 'Middle Paper Mill' [Cartiera di Mezzo] you will find the Teatro del Popolo ('Theatre of the People').
Continuing on, you arrive at the Piazza and Church of Saint Augustine, designed by Antonio da Sangallo (1455 ca.- 1534), the façade of which dates from the 13th century. Inside the church there are numerous paintings and works of art; and nearby there is a neo-Gothic bell tower.
Upper Town (Colle Alta)
From the so-called Guelph Gate (Porta Guelfa), which is the only remaining gate from the 14 original access points to Colle di Val d'Elsa, you arrive at the Pozzo (pozzo = well) in the upper town. This Upper Town is the highlight of your visit to Colle di Val d'Elsa, and easy to explore being more or less one single long street with numerous attractive buildings to admire.
Passing the Conservatory of Saint Peter you reach the 17th century Hospital of Saint Laurence which was restored by Peter Leopold in the late 18th century. Following the route from the Old Gate (Porta Vecchia) you reach the 13th century Convent of St. Francis.
The most remarkable sight in this part of Colle di Val d'Elsa is the Piazza Bajos, with numerous houses of medieval origin. You will also discover the Palazzos of Tommasi, Usimbardi, Orlandini, Galganetti and Alessi. Continuing on you arrive at the 15th century church of Saint Catherine. The church interior is usually bright because of its stained glass windows depicting the 'Conversion of St. Catherine'.
From this square you can also see other buildings of great artistic value, such as the Palazzo Renieri, Apolloni and Ceramelli Palaces and the current Town Hall.
In the upper town it is the Castle that stands out along with the Campana Palace (1539) by Giuliano di Baccio d'Agnolo. This is a very interesting building because of the humanistic classical references in the facade.
Old town
The main door of this palace connects with the Via del Castello which leads you into the heart of the Old Town with its many medieval and Renaissance buildings such as the palaces of Salvetti, Morozzi, Giusti and Dini and the Episcopal Seminary.
Around the edges of the "Piazza del Duomo" (Cathedral Square) the notable highlights include the Podestà Palace and the Tower of the Cathedral with the Renieri Palace, Fountain and the Old Episcopal Seminary on the other side.
The Cathedral of Colle di Val d'Elsa, with a neo-classical façade, was built in the first half of the 17th century on the site of the ancient parish church of St. Saviour. The interior of the cathedral houses many works of art such as a marble pulpit of 1465 and a crucifix in bronze by Giambologna (1529-1608). In the side chapels note the door of the sacristy, the Chapel of the 'Holy Nail' (Santo Chiodo), with a railing in the Renaissance style.
Your visit to the old town in Colle di Val d'Elsa can finish with the famous Tower of Arnolfo, where according to tradition Arnolfo di Cambio was born (1240-1302).
Museums in Colle di Val d'Elsa
The Sacred Art Musem is situated in the Praetorian Palace. The museum is dedicated to the great scholar Ranuccio Bianchi Bandinelli from Siena (1900-1975) and it brings together artefacts from the territory of the Val d'Elsa from the Neolithic period to the Middle Ages. Colle di Val d'Elsa has a large amount of finds from the Etruscan period, extracted from the great necropolis of the 'Le Ville' and 'Dometaia'.
Next to the museum is the 14th century Palazzo dei Priori, now the seat of the Civic Museum. Among the oldest examples of medieval art here is a large table with the 'Majesty', a work by an anonymous painter active at the end of the 13th century. Other notable works are those by Cennino Cennini [1370 ca-1440 ca.] ('The Nativity of the Virgin'), Lorenzo Bicci [1350-1427] ('Madonna and the Child with Saints'), also works by more recent artists such as Ventura Salimbeni (1568-1613), Sebastiano Folli (1568-1621) and Bernardino Mei (1612-1676).
Colle di Val d'Elsa and Tuscan cuisine
The town is proud to link to its medieval roots through typical traditional food s of the region that include products and local wines of great prestige and quality such as the Chianti dei Colli Senesi and Vernaccia di San Gimignano. You should also try some classic cheeses such as the Pecorino Toscano, and some salt-porks such as the Buristo and Rigatino, rolled bacon and Capocollo.

Career and Job Recruiting Events at Columbia College Chicago
The Portfolio Center works as a bridge between Columbia's academic community and the professional creative industries, hosting a number of different programs and events for professionals and employers to meet and engage with our students to review their work and exchange career information.
Organizing recruiting events, on-campus visits, class presentations, info sessions, panel discussions, portfolio reviews, and off-site field trips to local creative organizations and partners are just a few of the ways that we put creative professionals directly in touch with emerging talent at Columbia. Ways to get involved include:
Career & Job Fairs
Career Fair
Welcomes industry partners and employers to campus with opportunities corresponding to Columbia College academic majors and programs to recruit for full-time and part-time openings and internships. This is a career-focused, one-day, recruiting event that invites creative industry employers to present positions that directly relate to the professional careers of students, graduates and alumni. Date is TBA.
Job Fair
Invites the neighborhood and Chicagoland businesses to campus offering paid part-time and full-time jobs that may help students support themselves while continuing their education at Columbia College. This is a one-day, tabled event and a great opportunity to introduce your company or business, collect applications, and share information about work and opportunities students may take advantage of locally. Date is TBA.
Virtual Job Fair
Online alternative offering employers, companies, organizations and businesses an option to recruit students. Reach out to candidates virtually in between and during semester breaks with full-time, part-time, freelance, internship, and volunteer opportunities. Date(s) are TBA.
Here to Hire
Here to Hire events invite employers and industry partners to campus to recruit current Columbia College students for careers analogous to their academic majors and program of study. These regularly scheduled "pop-up career fairs" take place throughout the year and are designed to give employers a chance to deliver presentations and provide info sessions so students may get to know them a little bit better. HTH visits also offer some one-on-one time for employers and potential candidates to talk about present opportunities and see if it's a match.
Portfolio Day
Formerly known as the series "Industry Events", Portfolio Day invites creative industry professionals to campus for a one-day event to meet with grads and graduating seniors, and provide feedback on their best work and portfolios. This is a curated event divided into morning, afternoon, and evening sessions organized by academic majors and industry hubs. Portfolio Day 2015 takes place April 30, 2015.
Use ColumbiaWorks to post full-time, part-time, freelance, volunteer, paid, unpaid, and internship opportunities anytime throughout the year.
Contact an Internship Coordinator to discuss academic internships and internships for college credit.

For new users, there's scant information on how to do some basic things. The forums are good but full of people that already know the basics, and for some reason there are no pinned "How To" basic threads.
This 'Skinning and UI' section is the obvious place that people will go to to find out things like:
- where can I find skins?
- where do I download them from?
- what do I need to do to install it?
If someone can answer any of these questions, perhaps this thread can get renamed and pinned to save a lot of repeat questions and frustrated new users. It might also ease the introduction of Plex and its uptake.
As it stands, there's so much work required to sift through dozens of threads looking for basic answers that it may detract users from bothering with Plex.

Brooklyn's gourmet growth sector expands with the arrival of Bklyn Larder, the venture from Andrew Feinberg and Francine Stephens of the Prospect Heights pizzeria Franny's. We opened this place so we'd never have to shop anywhere else, says Stephens, who saw a neighborhood niche for high-quality products and really good prepared foods. What was conceived as a small cheese shop grew to encompass a streamlined selection of kitchen staples: bulk Puglian olive oil stored in a 50-liter steel fusto, bean-to-bar American chocolates, housemade gelati, family-farm organic milk, dried pastas, cured meats, and, yes, cheese, which resides in a pine-shelved room climatically maintained by partner-cheesemonger Sergio Hernandez. But aside from good taste and a modern, almost stark aesthetic, what set Bklyn Larder apart from the competition are its prepared foods, which range from grass-fed short ribs to a selection of sandwiches. The current roster includes a grilled L'Etivaz cheese, a broccoli rabe with young Pecorino, and a Burgers' Missouri bacon with hard-boiled egg, which is the closest New Brooklyn General Storekeepers get to a BLT when it's not tomato season.

Dark matter could be the life of the party for starless planets
Dark matter may provide the necessary building blocks for organic life to develop on nearby planets.

There may be worlds that float through intergalactic space in darkness without stars to warm them. Such lonely planets, endlessly adrift in night, might seem too cold and dark to ever serve as homes for life.
But mysterious, unseen dark matter could help make warm these starless planets and make them habitable, a new study suggests. The idea may be a bit out there, but it's not impossible, researchers say.
Scientists think invisible, as-yet-unidentified dark matter makes up about 85 percent of all matter in the universe. They know it exists because of the gravitational effects it has on galaxies. [Video: Dark Matter in 3-D]
Warmth from dark matter?
Among the leading candidates for what dark matter is are massive particles that only rarely interact with normal matter. These particles could be their own antiparticles, meaning they annihilate each other when they meet, releasing energy.
If these dark matter particles do exist, they could get captured by a planet's gravity and unleash energy that could warm that world, reasoned physicist Dan Hooper and astrophysicist Jason Steffen at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
Although this amount of energy would be negligible when it comes to Earth — a few megawatts at most — they calculate that larger, rocky "super-Earths" in regions with high densities of slow-moving dark matter could be warmed enough to keep liquid water on their surfaces, even in the absence of additional energy from starlight or other sources.
The density of dark matter is expected to be hundreds to thousands of times greater in the innermost regions of the Milky Way and in the cores of dwarf spheroidal galaxies than it is in our solar system.
"We are talking about rare and special environments, but not implausible ones," Hooper told SPACE.com. [The Strangest Alien Planets]
The scientists surmised that on planets in those areas, it may be that dark matter rather than light makes it possible for life to develop and survive. After all, on Earth, there is life virtually wherever there is water.
"You can have all the basic elements you need for organic life without a star," Hooper said.
Dark matter: Better than a star
Indeed, dark matter could keep the surfaces of such warm for trillions of years, outliving all regular stars, the researchers suggested. Given their extremely long lifetimes, such planets may prove to be the ultimate bastion of life in our universe, they added. For comparison, the universe is estimated to be 13.7 billion years old.
"I imagine 10 trillion years in the future, when the universe has expanded beyond recognition and all the stars in our galaxy have long since burnt out, the only planets with any heat are these ones here, and I could imagine that any civilization that survived over this huge stretch of time would start moving to these dark-matter-fueled planets," Hooper said.
However, the scenario lies in the more optimistic end of models calculating how dark matter behaves.
Also, assuming that such planets exist, "there probably aren't many of them," Hooper cautioned. Also, current planet-hunting missions focus on worlds that starlight can help detect — dark-matter-fueled planets not only might lie far away from any stars, but are not especially hot, making them difficult to see. "I don't see us discovering planets like this anytime soon," he said.
The scientists detailed their findings online March 25 in a paper submitted to The Astrophysical Journal.

Gear Review
Great Binding
I love this binding! The new ankle strap is very comfortable and has a gap to help prevent a pressure point experienced in older ride straps. I prefer Ride's Toe cap to Burton's because the material is stretchy and forms around the front of your boot exactly, no matter what the shape and stays in place. The metal base plate is stiff, responsive, and comfy, while the new shape highback has a great flex and does not dig into my calves. These are also just as light as the Burton Cartel's I tried out the same day.

EVERETT, Wash. A suspected DUI driver drove onto a pedestrian walkway and struck two people on US 2 Monday night, killing one of them.
The Washington State Patrol says the driver, a 24-year-old Everett man, crossed a raised median on the on-ramp to eastbound Highway 2. The car then went through a dirt berm, around secured metal pylons and onto the walkway.
A man and woman were walking east on the walkway, which is separated from the highway by a concrete barrier. The man was walking several feet in front of the woman.
Theresa Dubs, 55, was bumped by the right side mirror of the car. Darren Streeter, 47, was then hit and throw over the side of the trestle. He fell 40 feet and died at the scene.
The car eventually hit the concrete wall and stopped.
Pedestrians use this every single day, said Trooper Keith Leary. This is the first time I've ever seen a car get on here ... because it's marked, you can't drive there. It's not something we've ever seen ... It was creative driving.
The driver was stopped by a cement barrier. He was taken to Providence Colby Hospital with severe leg injuries.
Troopers smelled alcohol and found marijuana in the car.
The couple never saw the driver coming.
She was doing everything right, she said they ran out of gas over in Everett somewhere and they were walking over to Ebey Island, said Leary.
Jerry Bundy says Darren Streeter lived on his Ebey Island property for several years. Streeter fell on hard times and until recently was paid by Bundy to perform odd jobs.
He was very talented in every way and it s very sad to see this happen, I don't understand people, said Bundy.

"The motor is powerful," he added. "It pushes the thing right along."
Tom Minegar of Carlsbad, also a member of the Palomar club, said the electronics of radio-controlled planes have advanced greatly in recent years.
"It's gotten cheaper and better as time has gone by," he said.
He recommended radio-controlled planes as a good activity for families.
"A lot of us started as kids," he said. "The nice thing about flying clubs is that it brings together people of all ages."

Xi Jinping has, as expected, taken over as the new general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) at its 18th National Congress. The new Politburo Standing Committee (PBSC) also includes Li Keqiang (like Xi, a member of the previous PBSC), Zhang Dejiang, Yu Zhengsheng, Liu Yunshan, Wang Qishan, and Zhang Gaoli.
Representing the fifth-generation of China's communist leaders after Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, Xi and his team have some onerous tasks to gear up to. While the rest of the world, including India, can often focus only on China's increasing global economic imprint and its rapid military modernisation, for China's leaders themselves the most important concerns have always been domestic ones. And of these, none are as important as the ones about maintaining social stability and the necessity of political reform.
The new PBSC is widely perceived by Western and Chinese observers as being short of genuine political reformers. Further, quite a few on the new PBSC, including Xi himself, have depended on their identity as members of elite communist families to rise to their current posts. The importance of such family ties in the selection of China's top leaders and the lingering influence of retired Party elders, most notably Jiang Zemin, however also highlight the difficulties of ensuring political reform and a fair and egalitarian political process. And yet, Chinese political reforms do move forward, however incrementally.
Most members of the new PBSC while broadly pro-market are also supporters of the big Chinese public sector enterprises. The PBSC thus reflects the Party elite's immediate priorities — to steer through the aftermath of the Bo Xilai affair and to guide the country through some difficult socio-economic challenges ahead without losing political control. More than the challenges of political reforms, it appears the Party fears a return to the populism and demagoguery of the Mao era and which Bo seemed inclined to imitate.
Thus, on challenges such as increasing income inequalities, the rural-urban divide and widening regional disparities, it looks likely that this PBSC instead of leaning hard left will hold the middle ground. Meanwhile, the appointment of Wang Qishan, known as a tough and efficient administrator, as head of the CPC's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection suggests that the Party is taking aim at corruption by high-level officials and their families. Whether such targeting will continue to be selective and follow factional interests – as has usually been the case – remains to be seen. But for now, the intent is evident.
Thus, 'disappointment' about China's apparently conservative turn might be out of place. While Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought have not been removed from the Party Constitution as some speculated, Hu's Report to the Congress called for the Party to "respond to the call of the times, follow the aspirations of the people." It also contained an entire section devoted to "reform of the political structure."
Hu also stressed the importance of the rule of law specifically stating that no one in power would be allowed to remain above the law or abuse it. In other words, the basic elements of democratic governance are all there — except that the CPC is in charge.
Whether, such controlled 'democracy' will remain sufficient for the CPC to maintain its legitimacy over the long term remains to be seen.

Narendra Modi, the man who may as well become India's next prime minister on May 16, in an interview sometime last year said that foreign policy today is largely about business and trade. He added that foreign policy these days does not mean espionage and other such older, now largely irrelevant traits. At least in the obvious sense of the term 'espionage,' made popular during the Cold War era.
However, there are enough foreign policy issues waiting to be addressed. The problem with India's foreign policy discourse, both in the government and in the public, has been the general infatuation revolving in and around Pakistan. Of course, the issue of our dealings with Pakistan will remain centric, however as the Indian economy grows, India's relations with its neighbour cannot hold other equally pressing matters hostage.
So, looking beyond Pakistan, this piece will list six important foreign policy topics which I believe deserve due attention.
The Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean: Jawaharlal Nehru had once said, "to be secure on land, we must be supreme at sea." This holds truer today than any time in the past as Asia starts to lead the global economic, political and military agenda of the 21st century. The recent tensions between Vietnam and China in the South China Sea (SCS), where Beijing has specifically told India to 'stay out', highlights the on-going tussle for influence in Asia between China's growing hegemonic presence which has a direct influence on India as well. Bay of Bengal is known to be floating on natural gas reserves, and India has also recently invested in oil and gas blocks off the coast of Myanmar. All this makes India's naval and military presence one the eastern coast crucial, whose influence should spread across the international waters of the SCS, within the UN guidelines. India's Himalayan border dialogue with China will continue, but this new area of concern should not be left just to the military.
Advent of cyber snooping and warfare: Journalist Glenn Greenwald, in his new book titled 'No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden', the NSA, and the US surveillance state, has reportedly described with great detail the far-reaching hand of America's NSA which spied on its NATO allies such as Germany, and "friendly countries" such as India, Brazil and so on. When this news became public, Brazil made its anger known to the White House with the country's president cancelling a trip to the US as a mark of protest. New Delhi was docile in its response when it should have been stern. Cyber warfare is a reality, and India needs a much more concrete and action oriented plan to combat this growing threat.
India and the US: Since Barack Obama took over the presidency of the United States, India—US relations seem to be have been slowly sliding backwards from the high-points achieved during former President George W Bush's tenure. Theories on reasons behind this vary from Obama's lack of interest in foreign policy all together to India being a non-signatory to the NPT being a sore point for his administration (Obama won a premature Nobel Peace Prize for his work on nuclear disarmament). The recent case of Devyani Khobragade has also been a setback to the once flourishing bilateral relations. As an expert said recently, India's outgoing prime minister is leaving New Delhi – Islamabad ties on a better pedestal than the ties with Washington DC.
New hydrocarbons frontier in the Arctic: In 2012, India became a permanent observing member of the Arctic Council. The group together is attempting to manage the now fast-thawing Arctic region, which is expected to be completely ice free in the coming decades due to global warming. India has already invested in Russia's energy sector (Sakhalin-I) and Moscow may provide a good gateway for New Delhi to invest in the mineral riches in and around the North Pole. For this, the new prime minister should look into appointing a dedicated ambassador to the Arctic Council who could use the expertise of the likes of ONGC Videsh and DGH to embolden Indian energy companies to invest in exploration.
International trade treaties and the WTO: Business today is a global commodity. Bilateral and multilateral trade treaties between various geo-economic groups and individual nations have become one of the biggest tasks of foreign ministries around the world. In an era of preferential trade agreements (PTA) and free trade agreements (FTA), the World Trade Organisation (WTO) has become an entity as important as say the OPEC, in terms of influence on global financial paradigms. For example, a free market economy would ideally suggest a FTA with China for India; however, the effects of such an idea already creates uneasiness within the economy where small-scale businesses feel threatened by 'dumping' techniques that a manufacturing hub such as China is at times blamed for. The new prime minister will have to overhaul how India views such treaties and create realistic outlines till what extent can India participate as a free market economy in global commerce considering its domestic socio-economic situation.
Global warming: A recent report has suggested that some of the biggest glaciers in Antarctica are melting at a rapid pace, and this now may be an unstoppable event. Although not an immediate threat to our generation, in future such melting could raise global ocean levels by 2 ft. A global effort is required, both from developing and developed world's, to try and control the levels of carbon emissions. This will be a massive undertaking as India, for its energy needs, will depend on hydrocarbons for at least the next 40 years. However, implementation of a national renewable energy policy could help reduce reliance on fossil fuels in a timely manner, helping the economy grow and achieve desirable yet realistic environmental targets. This will not be possible without compromises from the developed world as well.

Roy Murci - Piece of Mind

Producer: Royal [for Fresh Republic]
Album: Crown Royal
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 12 votes )
Like many artists, Roy Murci is both blessed and cursed with a brain that just won't turn off. For the Maryland emcee, rap isn't just a creative outlet; it's a safety valve for the thoughts constantly running round his mental. On the inaugural leak off his forthcoming, Booth-hosted street release, making its world premiere right here on our front page, the up-and-coming spitter blows off some intellectual steam in hopes that putting it all down on wax will win him a little 'Piece of Mind.' Fresh Republic member Royal provides a brooding instrumental to back the artist's reflections on the conflict between artistic integrity and the paper chase. If this introspective jam leaves you craving more, you'll find what you seek on Murci's Crown Royal street album, scheduled to hit the Booth November 12, for free streaming and download.

While studying at the library with her best friend Yui, Miaka finds an old book called The Universe of the Four Gods. Upon reading the book, the girls are transported to a land resembling ancient China. Immediately on their arrival, a pair of bandits attempts to abduct Yui! A mysterious young man with the kanji for "demon" on his forehead comes to their rescue, but now he wants to be paid for his act of heroism!
An embittered Yui has sworn revenge on Miaka, believing that her best friend had no intention of rescuing her from the Qu-Dong empire. Now Yui has become the Priestess of Seiryu, the enemy of the Hong-Nan empire, and a rival for Tamahome's affections!
Tamahome's love for Miaka has broken Nakago's hold over him, and his memory has returned. Miaka, thinking she now has all seven Celestial Warriors, starts the ceremony to summon Suzaku, only to discover that one of the warriors is an impostor - he's really the Seiryu Celestial Warrior Amiboshi!
With one of the Celestial Warriors lost forever, Miaka and her men are more desperate than ever to obtain the two Shentso-Paos to summon Suzaku. But once Miaka has one in her grasp, it is stolen away by the Seiryu Warrior Nakago. Miaka goes to Nakago to get it back, and he sexually assaults her.
Yui summons Seiryu and uses one of her wishes to make Nakago a god. She then sends Miaka back to the real world to separate her from Tamahome, but Tamahome holds on to Miaka, and the couple is sent to present-day Japan together. Suboshi follows Yui to Japan, intent on destroying Miaka for Yui.
Miaka and Taka are searching for the seven stones that will bring back Taka's memory as Tamahome. Without the stones, the man Miaka loves will disappear forever! Taka and Miaka journey back into the scroll and are able to meet the six Celestial Warriors once again. However, the demon-god Tenko, having been sealed inside The Universe of the Four Gods, is intent on destroying Suzaku to free himself. To do that, he must break Miaka and Taka apart, the people in whom Suzaku resides.
Summoning Suzaku! Deeply under Yui's spell, Tamahome travels to Konan to kill the Suzaku Seven and settles the question as to who would win in a fight between Hotohori and Tamahome. When the day finally comes to summon Suzaku another turn of events reveals a traitor which is quickly and sadly resolved. Despite all this, Miaka and the Suzaku Seven happily prepare to search for the means to summon Suzaku again. But this respite is shortlived...
Illusion and doubt plague the recovery of the Shinzaho of Genbu. Both warriors and the deceit of the Seiryu Seven have our heroes struggling to discover the truth while ensnared in lies. However, the devotion of Miaka and Tamahome combined with the surprise assistance of one long thought dead are able to find the light - at least temporarily.
After dealing with the Genbu, our heroes come across the Byakko warriors and Miaka's love is tested again. On top of that, the Seiryu Seven show up and now Chiriko must stand up and show what it means to be a warrior of Suzaku!
Eikoden focuses on a new character, Mayo Sakaki, a sixteen-year-old girl who attends Yotsubadai High School. Upon finding The Universe of the Four Gods in a trash bin at the park, Mayo discovers that the story remains incomplete. In the unfamiliar world of the book, Mayo must come to terms with her own life and the unhappiness within it.
When schoolgirl Takiko Okuda attempts to destroy her father's translation of "The Universe of the Four Gods," she is instead literally sucked into the story, becoming the Priestess of Genbu in an epic journey to find the seven Celestial Warriors!
Takiko has returned to the Universe of the Four Gods! As the Celestial Warriors search for the scroll of the Four Gods, Takiko uncovers the truth about the prophecy that turned Uruki and his father into bitter enemies. But while they begin a new chapter in their adventures, Takiko struggles to conceal a terrible secret about herself from the Celestial Warriors...

Five for Fighting: Potential surprise stars for Sharks-Kings Game 7
More NHL Playoffs: Scores | TV Schedule | Expert Picks | Odds | Mock Draft | Rumors
Every week day, we'll have a top-five list that is pretty self-explanatory, all in this man's opinion. Today: Five potential surprising stars of Game 7 on Tuesday night between the Sharks and Kings. Game 7s seem to always produce one.
No. 5: Dwight King. Known much more for being a grinder, King had a strong postseason last year, showing a penchant for the big spots. Moreover, he found himself playing a lot with Trevor Lewis and Dustin Brown in Game 6, a combo a little more likely to help him produce an unexpected goal.
No. 4: James Sheppard. The Sharks forward only has 12 goals in 256 career games in the NHL and doesn't have a point this postseason, but he saw a pretty robust amount of time on the power play in Game 6 (2:54). A little more of that, and maybe he becomes a Game 7 hero.
No. 3: Trevor Lewis. Outside of the faceoff circle, Lewis had an outstanding showing in Game 6. He was everywhere. Still, he is a player with just one goal in the playoffs, not a guy the Kings expect to get scoring from. But if he plays as well as he did in Game 6, he might get his chances.
No. 2: T.J. Galiardi. It's quite possible he used up his hero magic by scoring the game-winner for the Sharks on Sunday. But considering that was his first-ever playoff goal, it would be a surprise to see another. Either way, his defensive effort should go a long way in what should be a tight contest.
No. 1: Dustin Penner. He hasn't done a whole lot lately to make you think he'll do this, he only played 10:26 in Game 6. With the way that he has been invisible, he'd certainly fit the bill. Plus, he has done it before. Penner constantly gets dogged for his play and then delivers in a big spot. We saw it last year in the Western Conference finals.

A typical powerboat is considerably stiffer than a sailboat of similar size. And that is exactly why they are worse on rough water than a good rough water sail boat. Again, common knowledge.
Just so everyone knows, the stiffness of a boat is invariably determined primarly by the hull. A wider hull invariably creates a stiffer boat. Adding weight adds some stiffness, but nothing to that which can be had by modifying the hull. A wide flat power boat creates exactly such a stiff boat. And given that it carries its width longer than a sailboat, it inherently has more stiffness. The power boat has the problem that its CG is invariably above the waterline. This causes the CG to actually create a heeling moment. Which explains why some power boats can appear less stiff.
The stiffest sailboats are catamarans. They carry the beam to extreme resulting in a huge hull moment. And as we know, cats do not heel like monohulls. As a result can be very fast.
You seem to be confusing performance with rough water capability and those with experience know that rough water boats are different from performance boats. As far as I am concerned, this is widely held common knowledge.
The force of the wind on the sail has nothing to do with stiffness of the hull. I suggest you pick up a book and convince yourself. That is not to say a sail does not help stabilize the boat.
