Posted on February 13, 2014 AT 07:43am
Microsoft has confirmed that Xbox Live Silver members on Xbox 360 will be upgraded to a Gold membership for free this weekend.
From 12.01 a.m. PT on Friday, February 14 until 11.59 p.m. PT on Sunday, February 16 Xbox 360 owners in the U.S. and Canada will be able to enjoy all the perks of a Gold membership for free. This means that Silver members will be able to enjoy online multiplayer and be able to access apps that would usually be behind the Gold membership pay wall.
"All Xbox owners in these regions, regardless of their current Xbox LIVE subscription status, will have access to online multiplayer gaming, Video Kinect, and our entire catalog of entertainment apps," Microsoft Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb wrote on his blog.

PNP chief goes after cops who forfeit court cases
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—These lazy cops may soon find themselves behind bars.
Philippine National Police Director General Alan Purisima on Wednesday ordered the filing of administrative and criminal charges against 34 policemen whose failure to appear in court hearings led to the dismissal of charges against arrested drug suspects.
Purisima reiterated his directive to all policemen handling drug cases to religiously attend court trials to help expedite the prosecution of drug pushers and manufacturers.
He instructed the PNP's main anti-narcotics unit, the Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Force, to closely monitor drug-related cases filed by the police in various courts nationwide.
"Maybe these policemen think that they can get away with what they are doing because nobody is watching them. They are wrong," Purisima said in a news briefing at Camp Crame. "They will be facing not only administrative charges because the law says they also have criminal liability for their non-appearance in court hearings."
Upon orders of the PNP chief, task force chief Senior Superintendent Napoleon Taas said his office was coordinating with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency and various courts to check on the status of pending drug cases.
According to Taas, they found out that at least 34 PNP personnel had been remiss in attending to their court duties, resulting in the dropping of charges against members of drug syndicates.
Asked if the erring policemen intentionally skipped court hearings to help drug suspects in exchange for money, he said, "We can only speculate."
"It's possible that they have been doing this for so long that they are now used to it. Maybe the past PNP leaderships did not prioritize attending to this situation," Taas told the Inquirer. "With the directive of our PNP chief, we will be pro-active in monitoring drug cases. We will not wait for the courts or PDEA to tell us that some erring policemen may be bungling the cases."
Taas said his office had submitted the names of the 34 policemen to the PNP Directorate of Investigation and Detective Management for pre-charge investigation.
Of this number, 24 were assigned to the anti-illegal drugs unit of several police stations in Metro Manila.
If found guilty, he said, the PNP personnel will be immediately dropped from the rolls.
Citing Section 91 of Republic Act 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act, he said the police officers may also spend up to 20 years in jail and pay a fine of not more than P500,000.
He said task force will also file the appropriate administrative and criminal charges against the direct superiors of these policemen.

Button makes last-lap pass to win Canadian GP
MONTREAL Jenson Button moved up through the field at the Canadian Grand Prix, with just one more car to pass and only one more lap to do it.
Then Sebastian Vettel made a mistake that would cost him a chance at a sixth victory in seven Formula One races this year.
Button worked his way up from last place and took advantage of Vettel's last-lap slide to pass the Formula One points leader on the final trip down the backstretch and win the rain-soaked and rain-delayed Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday.
"We led every single lap except for the last one - or part of the last one," Vettel said. "It was probably the only mistake I had in the whole race. I went a little bit wide. If it would have been dry, no problem. ... But I ended up in the wet, and it was quite easy for him to pass. It was a difficult day to race, easy to make mistakes, so it is good to get points. But if you've got it in your hands and then you give it away, it's not the sweetest feeling."
Button had fallen to 21st after two run-ins with other cars and a speed limit penalty, but he steadily moved up and ran the fastest lap of the day in Lap 69 to sit less than 1 second behind Vettel entering the final trip around the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
As the German navigated a chicane on the backstretch, the rear of his Red Bull car slipped wide on the slippery track and Button sped past him to take the checkered flag for McLaren.
"I think even if I hadn't won today, I would have enjoyed the race immensely," said Button, who finished second here last year. "I enjoyed it very much coming through the field. Fighting your way through the field is almost as much fun as winning the race. It's a great feeling to get on someone."
It was Button's first victory this season and the 10th of his career. He had to sweat out a steward's investigation over an incident with Fernando Alonso, but no penalty was given.
Mark Webber was third in the other Red Bull car, and seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher was fourth. Schumacher narrowly missed out on his first podium finish since coming out of retirement last year, sitting second behind Vettel late in the race before he was overtaken by Button and then Webber.
"I am leaving this race with one eye laughing and one eye crying, as I am not sure if I should be excited or sad about it," Schumacher said. "I would obviously have loved to finish there and be on the podium again. But even if it did not work out in the very end, we can be happy about the result and the big fight we put in."
Vettel had won five of the first six Formula One races this season - and six of the first seven poles - and except for a pit stop on the 20th lap he traveled the first 69 laps trailing only the safety car that made seven trips onto the course because of the rain.

and quality of applications submitted but also by available funding.
The success of AIDS research applications has varied from institute to institute. At NIMH, AIDS grants (traditional investigator-initiated grants—R01s) have had higher success rates than non-AIDS grants; however, those success rates fell from 35.1 in 1989 to 13.5 in 1993 (Figure 5.6). At NIDA, AIDS grants (all RPGs) had higher success rates than non-AIDS grants in 1990, 1991 and 1993, but lower success rates in 1989 and 1992 (Figure 5.7). In general, NIDA RPGs consistently have had relatively high success rates (in the range of 28.4 to 41.1). Since the number of AIDS applications at NIAAA has been relatively small, the success rates may fluctuate dramatically from one year to the next (Figure 5.8). For example, in FY 1990, NIAAA received three competing AIDS applications and funded all of them. During the following year, NIAAA funded 6 of the 19 applications it received. In general, data for all institutes indicate that success rates for all research are declining, which is more likely a result of shrinking budgets and rising per-grant costs than of declining quality among grant proposals submitted.

The environment for independent community hospitals is challenging. Government reimbursement reductions, technology enhancements and other capital demands, preparation for a changing health care system based on population health management, the cost to attract and retain physicians, increased leverage of managed care companies, and challenging capital markets are among the factors that have contributed to this tough environment.
Many consultants have suggested that community hospitals should consolidate with large health systems. Some have even suggested that stand-alone community hospitals are an "endangered species" and have little choice but to combine with larger health systems. The rate of consolidations has increased and the number of independent community hospitals has decreased.
Community Hospitals Should Not Assume That Their Only Choice Is to Join a Large Health System
Board members of community hospitals should critically assess their financial situation, strengths and opportunities and should understand the potential strategies available to improve their hospital's situation. While joining a health system may be the best course, other strategies are not only available but in many instances should be pursued in the best interest of a hospital and the community it serves. Awareness of the strategic options that are available and that others have successfully followed is important as Board members evaluate proposals brought to them by their hospital's executive leadership.
There are a variety of strategies available for community hospitals to help ensure their viability. These may include forging innovative relationships with payors, including forming or participating in narrow or tier value-based networks; structuring clinical integration organizations or participating in accountable care organizations; creating ventures with insurers to become risk ready; partnering with other hospitals (including Academic Medical Centers) that are designed to preserve independence, including joint ventures, joint operating agreements, telehealth arrangements, and clinical and management service arrangements; creating one or more centers of excellence; and developing collaborative physician alignment strategies.
There are real life examples of strategies that community hospitals have pursued. In the Southeast, a group of 23 hospitals have formed an alliance to pool resources, coordinate information and manage population health. Creatively acting together has provided an improved opportunity for success. In another situation, a critical access hospital in need of capital assessed its situation, sought out a government credit enhancement vehicle to obtain capital and secured financial support from its local municipality that was interested in preserving the hospital in the community. The creative package solved the immediate need for capital.
These are just a couple examples. Other strategies are available and worth consideration before a hospital decides to give up its independence.
In sum, boards of community hospitals have strategies to consider to continue their independence. They should not just assume that an affiliation/consolidation is their only alternative.
Web Conference
On April 15, 2014, Foley will further explore these strategies in a complimentary Web Conference titled "Can Your Community Hospital Remain Independent?"

Although its been mostly positive to upgrade to 184.108.40.206 from 1.22, there are some irritating glitches (or are they deliberate?) which spoil my weblogging.
1. I, and a co-author, are both level 9 authors. Before the upgrade we could a) edit each others posts (mostly for speling) and b) edit comments. Now we can't do either of those two things.
2. File upload, which worked perfectly well under 1.22 now gives an error indicating either a typo or the permissions were wrong. I didn't change anything on the server so what went wrong?
Can anyone help?

For over one lakh students across the State who joined engineering courses six months ago, this week which sees them attempt six university papers, is perhaps an occasion to get a feel of how the next couple of years would be.
However, many of them were in for a bit of a shock as the Mathematics I exam that was conducted on Monday came across as quite a difficult paper. "We didn't understand most of the questions. They were very complicated," says a student of S.S.N. College of Engineering. The 100-mark paper had questions on integration, matrices, differential equations, partial derivates and 3D analytical geometry. "There are five compulsory units in the paper so that we don't omit any section. But the relatively easier ones were the 2 marks questions while the 8 mark ones were very difficult," says a student of Madras Institute of Technology. Besides mathematics, the students have Chemistry, engineering graphics, Physics, English and computing subjects. The exams began last week.
While the students are hoping the internal examinations which comprise 20 per cent of their evaluation would save them, some say stricter internal modal tests would have at least prepared them for the exam. "We had three internal tests of which only two were compulsory. So most of us were thorough only in two units," says Bharani Rajan, a student. The lack of trained mathematics faculty is the reason why students in different departments of the same college have mixed opinions about the test.
"Departments including electronics, mechanical and computers get the best mathematics faculty, while the ones in biomedical, chemical or civil where mathematics is not given importance are given inexperienced ones. Most of these people teach us from their own notes and get us to solve only regularly asked questions," says Rama Viswanath, a chemical engineering student.
Also, the excessive dependence on databases and books issued by Indian authors that are considered simple, are reasons, say professors, why students wanted to see only 'expected questions' on paper. Many students felt that since the paper was inclined towards application, the CBSE students had a considerable edge. However, not all CBSE students were happy, either. "I focussed more on JEE while in school that had integration questions for just 5 marks, so I omitted the topic. This mathematics paper was all about getting your basics right," said R. Ashwin of MIT. "We have to gear up to compete with students from tougher systems like the IITs. It is just an initial shock but it will only help students to adjust better," said C. Thangaraj, vice-chancellor, Anna University of Technology, Chennai. Ahead of the merger of Anna Universities of Technology, the government had asked Anna University, Chennai, to conduct and evaluate the exams for first year students this year. The exams are being conducted now for students in nearly-500 engineering colleges across the State.
But there was no conscious attempt to make the question paper difficult, said Anna University Vice-Chancellor Mannar Jawahar. Necessary moderation will be employed in case the questions were found difficult by the majority, or out of syllabus, he said. "The first year students are facing a process of transition in terms of teaching and learning methods that are different from school. Such testing methods will encourage teachers and students to not go for rote learning and practise problem solving," he added.

June 25, 2013
A week ago the Sedalia City Council voted 6-2 to approve the Sedalia Clean Air Indoor Act, which prohibits smoking in all public places. While the ban doesn't go into effect until September, questions about what's included, how it will be enforced and what penalties are expected have dominated the local conversation.
Here, the Democrat looks at the ordinance and what Sedalia residents should expect.
Where is smoking banned?
Smoking is banned at all libraries; museums; bars; bingo facilities; city parks; convention facilities; elevators; facilities used for motion pictures and stage dramas; health care facilities; licensed child and adult day care facilities; lobbies and other common areas in apartment buildings, trailer parks, retirement facilities and nursing homes; polling places; public transportation including buses and taxis; restaurants; retail stores; places of meeting or public assembly; service lines; shopping malls; sports arenas including enclosed places in outdoor arenas; pool halls; subdivision homeowners' association facilities and within 20-feet of the entrance to a building.
Where is smoking allowed?
All private residences, vehicles, private or semi-private rooms in nursing homes, designated hotel and motel rooms, retail tobacco stores, patio areas of any restaurant and businesses that have a sole proprietor.
What about private clubs?
Private clubs are exempt from the smoking ban unless a public event, such as bingo, is being held.
Are e-cigarettes included in the ban?
No. The first draft of the ordinance did include a ban against electronic-cigarettes, which emits a vapor into the air rather than smoke, but councilmembers struck it out. E-cigarettes can be used anywhere.
When does the ban go into effect?
The ordinance will go into effect at 12:01 a.m., Sept. 1. City Attorney Anne Gardner noted this date does cross a Saturday night, Sunday morning but said the ordinance would still be enforced.
"The ordinance is complaint driven, so it's on the managers and owners (of bars and restaurants) to make sure patrons are not smoking," she said. "Are the police going to be there at 12:01 a.m. and give people tickets for still smoking? No, but we would hope the owners are aware of the ordinance's start date."
What are the penalties?
Anyone who violates the ordinance will first be given a written warning and a second offense will be punishable by a fine of up to $50 for each infraction. Owners and managers of nonsmoking areas who fail to comply with the ordinance will be fined $100 for the first violation, $200 for the second violation and $500 for each additional violation within the year.
Businesses that routinely allow smoking may have their business licenses removed, Gardner added.
Who will enforce the ban?
The ordinance will be mostly self-enforced, unless additional help is needed.
"If a patron is smoking, it's up to the manager or owner to ask them to put it out," Gardner said. "If the person doesn't comply, then the manager has the option to call the Sedalia Police Department. On the other side of things, if a manager does not ask the patron to stop smoking, a complaint can be made against the manager or the business."
SPD officers could get involved if the problem is not resolve or it escalates, though Gardner noted, like any other call for service the police department receives it will be prioritized.
Are the fairgrounds included in the ban?
The Missouri State Fairgrounds are on state land and city ordinances do not apply. Currently, smoking is not allowed in any building or enclosed space or at the Pepsi Grandstand during concerts, as per a state ordinance.
"We've had a no-smoking policy for our buildings for years, so we've been a little ahead of the city on that front," said fair director Mark Wolfe. "The only thing we do not have is specific language about no smoking within 20 feet of entrances, which is something we may be looking at changing."
Is smoking allowed in the county?
Yes. The Clean Air Committee will likely next speak to the Pettis County Commission about going smoke free county-wide, but for the meantime all restaurants, bars and other businesses outside the city limits may allow smoking.

Frank Gaffney's Recent Discussions
Michele Bachmann's McCarthyism?
The histrionics issuing forth from every contributor to The Arena, with the notable exception of David Bossie, include accusations that Rep. Michele Bachmann has engaged in everything from McCarthyism to racism to Islamphobia. Such comments from prominent Americans are as appalling as they are disconnected from reality.
Unfortunately, few – if any – of the authors issuing such sanctimonious condemnations appear to know anything about the subject of the Muslim Brotherhood, let alone about the nature of the inquiries Congresswoman Bachmann and four other legislators have sought. (Their actual requests should be required reading for anyone wishing to comment on this controversy. The links can be found here.
Accordingly, let me introduce a few facts:
- The Obama administration has helped to bring to power in Egypt the Muslim Brotherhood, an entity that is expressly committed to imposing the totalitarian, repressive, supremacist and misogynistic doctrine it calls shariah, not only there but worldwide.
- Brotherhood documents introduced uncontested into evidence in the largest terrorism financing trial in the nation's history, U.S. vs. Holy Land Foundation, demonstrated that, in order to advance this goal in non-Muslim nations including the United States, the Brothers have waged "civilization jihad." This is a systematic, stealthy and subversive adjunct to the violent kind of jihad, aimed at, again in the Muslim Brotherhood's own words, "destroying Western civilization from within by their hands" [meaning ours].
- Muslim Brotherhood documents also reveal that high priority is given in fulfilling this mission to influence operations aimed at gaining access to and subverting targeted government agencies and civil society institutions.
- A 10-part online video curriculum developed by the Center for Security Policy (www.MuslimBrotherhoodinAmerica.com) provides extensive and as-yet un-refuted evidence that the Muslim Brotherhood has succeeded in conducting such influence operations under both Republican and Democratic administrations.
- The Center's course also identifies six individuals (Part 8) with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood who are now working in or closely with the Obama administration. Curiously, only one of them – Huma Abedin, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's Deputy Chief of Staff – has attracted attention, let alone such passionate defense. Are those so critical of Michele Bachmann and her colleagues equally committed to the others – namely, Rashad Hussein, Dalia Mogahed, Kifa Mustapha, Mohamed Elibiary and Mohamed Magid? By focusing only on Ms. Abedin are they trying to deflect attention from these other individuals' problematic backgrounds and current roles? Or are they simply ignorant that such individuals are also deserving of scrutiny?
- As to Huma Abedin, it turns out that one of her three immediate family members with longstanding associations with the Muslim Brotherhood and one of its funding arms, the Saudi World Muslim League, is particularly problematic. Her mother, Dr. Saleha Abedin, is not just a founder (along with the wife of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi) of the Brotherhood's secretive women's arm, the Muslim Sisterhood. As a courageous Egyptian and former Muslim, Nonie Darwish, has chronicled, an organization Dr. Abedin chaired known as the "International Islamic Committee for Woman and Child" is currently promoting shariah's imposition in Egypt via the repeal of current statutory prohibitions on female genital mutilation, child marriage, marital rape, etc.
Let's have a proper debate about the advisability of turning a blind-eye to the influence operations and other civilization jihadist techniques of the Muslim Brotherhood. But those who are ignorant of those activities, or at least who refuse to acknowledge there are underway, have no standing to revile those like Michele Bachmann who have done their homework and, on that basis, are trying to protect our country from its destruction from within by our own hands, and those of the Brothers.See more

The Obama Administration informed various sources that President Obama plans to issue an executive order to develop privacy guidelines for using commercial unmanned aerial systems (UAS) - also referred to as drones. Specifically, the executive order would charge the National Telecommunications and Information Administration ("NTIA"), a component of the Department of Commerce, with developing these guidelines.
In 2013, NTIA convened a multistakeholder process to develop privacy guidelines for mobile apps and is currently involved in a similar effort for facial recognition technology. Under the anticipated executive order, NTIA is expected to convene a privacy multistakeholder process to provide a forum for discussion and consensus-building among stakeholders to develop voluntary privacy guidelines for UAS operators.
The guidelines developed would supplement the FAA's proposed rule concerning the operation of small UAS, which is expected later this year. The FAA proposed rule for small UAS is expected to focus on UAS safety, UAS pilot training and UAS airworthiness.

Former Dayton resident Gary Gibson now resides in Laguna Beach, Calif., where he operates The Vintage Poster Gallery. The new San Bernardino campus of the Art Institute of California chose Gary's shop to provide artwork for the opening of its new museum and gallery.
"The Golden Age of Poster Design" exhibit ran from Jan. 21-Feb. 5 and showed rarely seen posters from the late 1890s to 1950 that were created by noted designers and illustrators. Among those art deco, travel and wartime poster and art nouveau artists featured were Jean D'Ylen, Firmin Bouisset, Rogers Broders, Leonetto Cappiello, Noel Fontanet, Sidney H. Riesenburg, Edward Penfield, Theophile Alexandre Steinlen, James Montgomery Flagg, Jules Cheret and Alphonse Mucha, whose 1910 art nouveau work, "Princezna Hyacinta," graces the brochure's cover page.
As owner-manager of The Vintage Poster Gallery, 1492 S. Coast Highway, Laguna Beach, Gary oversees a large collection of antique vintage posters, restorations and the preservation of stone lithographs from the late 1890s forward. Gary is an active member of the International Vintage Poster Dealers Association. He is a noted consultant for collectors and gives university guest lectures on vintage posters. He travels extensively for and to acquire vintage poster collections. His gallery also offers framing to protect investment-grade art for home and office. "It's a great compliment to be selected at the first exhibition to be hosted in this new venue," Gary said in a newspaper item from Feb. 5. Gary's parents, Bill and Barbara Gibson, reside in Dayton.

NetBackup 7.5 upgrade creates catalog problem on backups prior to upgrade
After upgrading from 6.5.4 (solaris) to 7.5 RHEL (see steps below), our catalog no longer shows files (through BAR GUI) on backups done prior to the upgrade. Only empty dierctories are shown in BAR. This occurs on RHEL prod master only. On Solaris 7.5 clone (used as intermidiate server in upgrade plan) files are visible.
Files in /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images appear to be the same on both the RHEL and the Solaris
Upgrade process follows
3 servers involved:
P1 production 6.5.4 Solaris 10
L1 Lab 6.5.4 Solaris 10
P2 Production 7.5 RHEL 6.3
Steps are as follows:
Stop all NB processes on P1 and all media servers (2 X 6.5/solaris)
L1 is renamed to same hostname as P1
Catalog Files copied from P1 to L1
L1 ugraded to NB 7.5
Hot-Catalog backup done in L1 to disk storage unit using Wizard
NB 7.5 installed on P2 with same hostname as P1
Hot-catalog files from disk unit copied from L1 to P2 on equivalent Disk unit
Catalog restored with wizard onto P2
Cat-import -all done on P2 catalog
The catalog infomation is still avaliable on disk and we need to find the correct way to salvage it, without destroying what has been added since the upgrade (may 1st).

Steps to migrate from Unix/Linux to another Unix/Linux are documented over here:
Using catalog backup and recovery to transfer NetBackup catalogs between UNIX or Linux master servers as part of a hardware refresh
Did you follow advice to patch NBU immediately after upgrade?
See the 7.5 section in 7.x upgrade portal: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH74584
One more thing:
Did you have catalog compression on the original master?
If so, check if ncompress RPM package is installed on the Linux master.
See: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH153677

TECH77448 was consulted and steps were followed.
The upgraded master was patched to 22.214.171.124 prior to the catalog import from that backed-up on the Solaris host. Note that the Solaris host was and is still at 7.5 (not 188.8.131.52). Compression was not involved in the catalog backups, even though the db/images files contain .f.Z files (?)
Source master must also be upgraded to 18.104.22.168 before catalog backup and restore to new 18.104.22.168 installation.
All of the following must be the same:
NBU version and patch level
NBU installation path.
.f.Z file in images folder say that catalog compression was enabled on source master.
Please confirm that ncompress package is installed on Linux master server.
PS: Similar issue just over a year ago:

Too late for the 184.108.40.206 on source master. Anyhow, there is no compress package on the RH master. Does cat_import have anything to do with catalog compression?
Please note as I'm trying to salvage this without rollbacking. Rollbacking or redoing the upgrade would involve losing all backups since May 1st...or could we envison some sort of catalog merge (the before with the after)?
.Z files are created when catalog compression is enabled. This says to me it was enabled on the source master.
You need to install the ncompress package on the Linux master.
You can only restore EMM database to exactly the same NBU version and patch level. No way around this requirement.

I just read through the thread that had a very similar problem. Yes this is exactly what we are experiencing, but I hope I can get out of this without rollbacking! Ok so I will install the ncompress package. And then what can I do? Can I at least focus on a particular backupid which I could possibly uncompress, cat_import, and then validate that we might have pinpointed the problem?
If OS compress/uncompress command is working, NBU will call the appropriate commands to uncompress why you try to browse folders.
You can try to decompress images for one particular client: 'bpimage -decompress -client <name>' once you have confirmed that OS package is installed.
I don't see an option for image-id in Commands manual.
There should be no need for cat_import if you have restored from NBU 7.5 catalog backup.
Your next problem will be with mismatched EMM database version...

Referring to earlier posts, I very much agree that a separate, waterproof compartment around the rudder stock(s) is an important offshore safety feature. Even more with twin rudders, since these are much more vulnerable without the protection of the keel (cfr. the UFO damage on Tanguy De Lamottes Initiatives Coeur in the Vendée Globe).
And a serious crash box in the bow, which we only use to stow light fenders and warps instead of heavy sails.
In my opinion, adequate stowage is not only a comfort issue but also has important safety implications (cfr. the earlier issue about a readily available boarding ladder in an emergency).
On our boat the starboard aft cabin is dedicated to technical hardware (fuel tank, autopilot, hot water bulb, battery charger, heating, etc.) and stowing. Quite huge, even with all the sails in there (spinnaker, code 0, staysail), life jackets, grab bag, dehumidifier, spares and all other kinds of equipment, there is still more than enough space to sleep a big (bad
) child.
But my point is: this cabin is only accessible through the heads compartment. And believe me, this makes pushing and pulling a spinnaker or even a (very heavy Dacron) staysail in and out quite a job. And the unrolling/wetted toilet paper systematically ruins the very last bit of fun with this maneuver
Making this huge stowing space also accessible from the cockpit through a nice, wide hatch in the cockpit seat would of course make life very much easier.
Why not? Structures will not discuss about this: its unsafe, so we wont do it.
Whats your opinion?
Kind regards,
Yes and no
Yes regarding the front crash box. I have also one on my boat, or two, since the first bulkhead for the anchor locker and the second one for the sail locker are both waterproof and yes, it is also an important safety feature.
Yes and no for the rudders. For me in what regards safety the best type is your type of rudders, I mean two but with a safety device that swings them if they hit an object.
That is true that they have the disadvantage of being more exposed without the keel protection and that is a disadvantage. But today on performance cruisers (and even on modern cruisers) the rudders are so deep that they have almost the same length of the keel to the point that I am always very cautious when mooring the boat med style on small med ports. The transom stays near the wall and I can have depth for the keel and not for the rudder.
Also if you damage one, or have any problem with it, you still have the other. you will only able to sail to one tack (maybe even able to sail slowly to the other one) but will be able to motor the boat.
Regarding lockers that open to the interior of a big storage space and in the case of your boat it is really big: No....and yes
. Having a cockpit looker opening to the interior of all the boat, no. I agree that would be dangerous but you can subdivide that technical/storage space making a water proof bulkhead and having it accessible from the outside, I mean, a relatively big locker isolated from the rest of the boat. Of course for big I don't mean the full side of your storage/technical space but just a fraction of it.
Other sportive boats use big waterproof hatches (the same type you have on the cockpit of your boat) that can be open and closed from outside and that allow the access to lockers.
There is always a way of solving problems...but it is expensive specially if they had not previewed that from the beginning. They would have to make new moldings for that part of the boat.

Diamond Fields' Joint Venture Company Granted Mining License over World Class Zinc, Copper, Silver and Gold Project
Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement with Manafa, DFI owns 50.1% of the venture and Manafa owns 49.9%. The project will be developed in defined stages, commencing with a Scoping Study to start immediately and designed to test the accuracy of the huge volume of historic data available on the deposit.
The Atlantis II Deeps has a surface area of 60 square kilometers (23 square miles) and contains an extensive volume of metal enriched mud, the consistency of soft toothpaste.
Extensive historical work has been conducted on the project, with a total of 628 cores having been taken, with a total length of approximately 4km. The bulk of the cores are in an excellent state of preservation, which will enable
The latest historic resource estimates (not NI 43-101 compliant) of Atlantis II Deeps suggest tremendous economic potential with approximately 1.83 million tonnes of zinc, 402,000 tonnes of copper, 3432 tonnes of silver contained within 89.5 million tones of ore (Dry Salt Free).

100th Anniversary Of First South Pole Expedition
Explorers, scientists, and the prime minister of Norway were among those who gathered at the South Pole Wednesday to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the date that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen became the first man to ever lead a successful expedition to the Antarctic site.
"We are here to celebrate one of the greatest feats in human history," Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said while unveiling an ice sculpture of Amundsen, according to Nils Myklebost of the Associated Press (AP).
"Our respect for Amundsen's feat 100 years ago grew as we traveled in his ski tracks, and felt the physical challenges he experienced," Jan-Gunnar Winther, director of the Norwegian Polar Institute, added during the event, which was televised on Norway's NRK television.
On December 14, 1911, Amundsen and four companions became the first people to reach the South Pole, beating out Amundsen's British rival Robert Falcon Scott.
The Norwegian and his team "plunged a bright flag atop a spindly pole into the Antarctic ice, marking their claim as the first humans to set foot at the bottom of the world," Andrea Mustain of OurAmazingPlanet wrote on Tuesday.
Scott and his party arrived about a month later, the National Science Foundation (NSF) said in a statement — losing the race to the South Pole, and then losing their lives when they encountered a blizzard during the return trip to their base camp. He was also honored during the ceremony.
"Scott and his team paid the ultimate price," Stoltenberg said, according to BBC News reports. "But their names will forever be inscribed in polar history. They will always be remembered for their courage and determination in reaching one of the most inhospitable places on earth."
The NSF also revealed that they had revised and updated their website, "U.S. South Pole Station: Supporting Science," in order "to mark this centennial and the century of scientific exploration of Antarctica that began with these expeditions."
"The site"¦ has been updated to reflect the dedication in 2008 of the latest Amundsen-Scott South Pole station," the American science organization said in a December 14 press release. "This state-of-the-art science-support facility consists of two massive scientific experiments: the 10-meter South Pole Telescope–the largest radio telescope ever built in Antarctica–and the IceCube Neutrino Observatory–a device a kilometer on a side built into the ice sheet below the station."
According to Mustain, Antarctica is the location of as much as 70% of the Earth's fresh water and 90% of the planet's freshwater ice reserves. It is approximately 5.4 million square miles, or about one and one-half time the size of the United States, the OurAmazingPlanet reporter added.

Condo owners sue barbecue restaurant over smoker
Smoking barbecue apparently is a stench in the nostrils of Uptown condo residents next door to a recently opened New Orleans restaurant.
Residents of the Carriage House Condominiums have sued McClure's Barbecue, alleging that the city never approved an outdoor smoker before the restaurant opened in late July.
"The operation of this smoker is noxious and offensive to the Unit Owners and interferes with their enjoyment and peaceful possession of their property," states the lawsuit filed in Orleans' Civil District Court on Sept. 23.
Civil District Judge Sidney Cates IV will consider the plaintiffs' request for a preliminary injunction on Wednesday, The Times-Picayune (http://bit.ly/1a5x8It) reported.
The Carriage House Condominiums on Magazine Street Homeowners Association and residents Lori Anne Wood, Kimberlee Squires Kunimatsu, Louis A. Kunimatsu, Jennifer Brady, Marta Kramer, John E. Kramer and Alisa Virginia Wray want the court to evict the restaurant and make it pay unspecified damages.
The restaurant's landlord, Antoine M. Saacks III, and the property owner also are defendants.
McClure's Barbecue began in 2011 as a pop-up at Dante's Kitchen, where owner Neil McClure was a manager. McClure quickly gained a reputation for making quality smoked meats in a corner of the South where good barbecue is scarce.
McClure had little to say about the lawsuit: "I just want to make and feed people barbecue. I'll let the lawyers work this one out."

Paul Singer's op-ed in the Journal is a must read.
Here's an excerpt:
In the past decade, most global financial institutions built highly leveraged balance sheets -- sometimes as high as 30 to 1 -- that were stuffed with risky assets. These institutions also bought on a large scale for their own accounts the same securities they sold to their customers. Our anachronistic regulatory framework didn't catch the problems, and warped incentives and compensation schemes fueled the risk-control failures that eventually brought on the crisis we face today.
Singer is one of several conservatives I've spent time with recently who's thinking through the implications of the financial crash, and trying to figure out--not to put it too grandiloquently--the way forward for democratic capitalism. Many of those with the most practical and creative ideas, I've found, are practitioners, with experience on the Street (and in some cases in government); some are business school professors. They're at once free-market-friendly and free-society-committed, while understanding that we need to devise and implement a reasonable structure of law and regulations that will prevent system-threatening leverage, opacity, and irresponsibility. Singer and others can point us to a path very different from Obama-like nanny-state liberalism, but also different from head-in-the-sand-everything-was-fine-except-for-the-Community-Reinvestment-Act conservatism.

Would not recommend
Functional but nothing special
The room was ok but the double bed only had a single duvet on it. Switching off the main light also switched off some (but not all) plug sockets, so charging my phone was a bit trial and error.
The restaurant menu is very limited and service is
very slow.
The gym only has 3 machines.
Taxis are stupidly expensive but the bus into town stops close to the hotel and is quite quick and frequent. It is only DKK24 each way.
One of many hotels in Copenhagen
I chose this hotel largely on price and distance from the city center. Transit did work; a bus stop at the hotel has three routes. One goes to the city center but probably suffers traffic delays. Another goes to the Metro; that's the way we went.
Connection was usually good.
The room was spacious and mostly quiet. A train line runs behind the hotel, on the side of our room, but we heard few trains. There was one problem: only two electric outlets in the room, none near the bed. My wife has a medical device that needs power overnight and the hotel had to provide an extension cord, which they did.
The breakfast buffet is very good, but it was not included in our rate and cost 195 DKK extra - about $32 US! We had it once. This probably wouldn't bother a business traveler on an expense account, but it did bother us; all other hotels on a two-week vacation included breakfast and one included dinner!
We probably could have stayed closer to the city center for not much more money, and maybe had breakfast included.
Take the 4A or 30 bus to the Metro at Bella Center to reach the city center.

Code Compliance Officer accused of Trespassing
- Details
- Last Updated on Friday, 04 April 2014 11:37
- Published on Friday, 04 April 2014 11:37
- Hits: 1588
Colonial Beach Town Council spilled the beans about Town employee Theresa Davis' charge of trespassing, filed against her by a citizen of the town, during a reconvened work session on Thursday, March 28.
The council's business at hand was to decide whether or not to fund the attorney's fees for Davis' defense. However, several members took it upon themselves to publicly state their opinions and hearsay about the case in open forum.
The meeting also led to some heated exchanges between Council members Linda Brubaker and Tommy Edwards. Councilwoman Brubaker also accused Mayor Mike Ham of sexual discrimination, with Councilwoman Wanda Goforth agreeing with Brubaker.
The resolution before the council stated that Theresa Davis, Code Compliance Officer for the Town of Colonial Beach, was served with a warrant for criminal trespass. It also states that there is no insurance coverage in place to fund her defense and seeks to provide funding.
An attached agreement was referenced and has not been provided to the Press, but it was stated at the meeting by Town Manager Val Foulds that the agreement states that the Town will fund up to $4,000 and if Davis is found guilty, she will pay back the funds to the Town.
Foulds had been requested by council members to discern whether she thought Davis was acting within the scope of her job at the previous day's meeting.
Foulds said, "I have reviewed the job description for Ms. Davis, and I have spoken with her immediate supervisor, Gary Mitchell."
Mitchell wrote, "Based on my understanding of the incident that occurred on March 8 of 2014, involving Davis and the property owner of 320 First Street, she was ensuring the work occurring on the property did not need a building/zoning permit. Further upon reviewing Ms. Davis' job description, in my professional opinion, Davis was performing her job at the time."
Foulds said she did not get an email from Building Inspector Dextor Monroe, but had spoken with him personally. Foulds said that after talking with both gentlemen, "I am confident that she was performing within the scope of her job description."
Next, both Councilwomen Wanda Goforth and Linda Brubaker spent a considerable amount of time trying to establish Foulds as Davis' immediate supervisor. Both women stated they had spoken to someone, who they did not identify, from Parks and Planning who stated that Davis often went to Foulds for supervision.
However, The Journal has spoken with the town clerk and Gary Mitchell, who both said they are not aware of any "Parks and Planning" entity in the Town of Colonial Beach.
Goforth read two excerpts form the code enforcement officer's job description. She referenced "Requires ability to read state code and town code, building code, zoning ordinances, erosion and sediment control standards, building plans, reference guides, program manuals, policies and procedures."
Goforth interpreted that to mean, "If that's a requirement of her job, she should know what state code is, and she should know what warrants going into a home."
Goforth said, "She did not use good judgment and due diligence, in my opinion."
Brubaker stated she felt there were other incidents with this house and asked if these legal actions could be construed as retaliation. Brubaker said that this home was close to her office and said, "I happen to know this home has been rented in the past to someone who might have had issues." Brubaker stated she wants to make sure that Davis, Mitchell or the town manager showed this homeowner due diligence if they came to talk to them, "Which I know they did," she added.
Brubaker told her rendition of what happened, then Councilman Edwards began to tell his side of the story as well as give insights from his experience of being a code enforcer in the past.
During their renditions, Brubaker showed considerable anger towards Edwards, telling him he should not have contacted Davis and had done so after he knew she had been arrested.
Edwards stated that if Davis is found guilty by a judge, she should be reprimanded or fired, but said that if the Town does not back its employees, it will affect other Town staff in doing their jobs. He used trash collection and water shutoff as examples where Town workers may be to nervous to offer services or carry out their jobs.
Goforth disagreed with Edwards, stating she has not seen any garbage men come to her door to pick up trash, then stated, "She knew she was not supposed to enter that house, and she entered it; that is a violation, and it's a warrant."
Goforth questioned why Edwards went there and talked to Davis. Goforth said she was told not to do so, and reminded council that she is the POC (point of contact) for Building and Zoning.
Goforth stated she was not able to speak with either Davis or Mitchell. She states there is a past history of complaints, which she said, "That I have been personally involved in."
Goforth said that the homeowner owns 51 houses and a retail location in town, and she feels he was pushed to the limit.
Councilman Bone stated he would not support an illegal action, which he defined as action that was not within the scope of her job. He said that he had advised Davis to subpoena both Gary Mitchell and Val Foulds, who have both stated she was acting within the scope of her job.
Bone told the council that he had spoken with the homeowner who filed the claim. Bone said the man told him that if Mitchell had handled the situation differently; reprimanding her and assuring it would not happen again, it would have ended there.
After establishing that the agreement stated if Davis is found guilty, she would pay the money back, and that paying for legal fees does not make the Town any more or less liable for a lawsuit, Mayor Ham called for a vote. Council voted 4 to 2 to pass the resolution, contingent on both parties' signatures. Goforth and Brubaker voted against, and Gary Seeber was absent.

By a resounding 69% affirmative vote, Alabamians approved a measure that amends an existing Alabama Constitutional Amendment to allow the State to issue general obligation bonds to finance economic development incentives. This new authority permits periodic borrowings so long as at no time more than $750 million of bonds issued under the amendment are outstanding. The amendment results in an immediate increase in the State's borrowing capacity to $160 million (up from only $30 million). The passage of the amendment by such a strong margin shows the commitment that the government and the people of Alabama have to foster economic development. The state's major business and trade associations, as well as Governor Robert Bentley, supported the amendment.
