The markings are tMP era - wich this vessel is clearly not. Still, that's the modeler/texture's mistake, not yours.
which markings?
freaking sweet dude!
Nice job once again. The nacelles are a TAD too angular, but combined with the ship's overall shadowing it gives off a mechanical and industrialist feel; which is perfect for Terran Vessel! Once again we have oval planet syndrome but that's just 'cause it's wide screen. Still a 5/5.

|Singles from Reasonable Doubt
Reasonable Doubt is the debut studio album by American rapper Jay-Z, released on June 25, 1996, by Roc-A-Fella and Priority Records. It features production by DJ Premier, Ski, Knobody and Clark Kent, and guest appearances from Memphis Bleek, Mary J. Blige, and The Notorious B.I.G., among others. Reasonable Doubt features Mafioso rap themes and gritty lyrics about the "hustler" lifestyle and material obsessions.
The album peaked at number 23 on the US Billboard 200, on which it charted for 18 weeks. It was promoted with four singles, including the Hot 100-charting "Ain't No Nigga" and "Can't Knock the Hustle". Reasonable Doubt has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America and,[1] as of 2006, has sold 1.5 million copies in the United States.[2]
Well received by critics upon its release, the album has since been heralded by music writers as Jay-Z's "crowning achievement", "a seminal work"[3] and an "undisputed classic".[4][5] It appears on numerous best album lists by music publications, including The Source,[6] Blender,[7] and Rolling Stone, which ranked it number 248 on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[8]

In 1989, aspiring rapper Jay-Z was recruited by mentor Jaz-O to appear on his song "Hawaiian Sophie".[9] He appeared on two more Jaz-O songs in the next year, but after Jaz-O was dropped from his record label, Jay-Z dealt drugs to support himself.[9] He continued to pursue a rap career and appeared on two songs from Original Flavor's 1993 album Beyond Flavor. Jay-Z then caught Big Daddy Kane's attention and toured with him; they collaborated on Kane's 1994 posse cut "Show & Prove" along with Wu-Tang Clan's Ol' Dirty Bastard, Wu-Tang affiliate Shyheim, Sauce Money, and Scoob Lover.[9]
Despite the exposure he received from Kane, Jay-Z was still without a record deal. He began selling tapes from his car with help from friend Damon Dash.[10] The success of his street-level marketing led to a deal with Payday Records, which released his first solo single, "In My Lifetime" and its B-side "I Can't Get wid Dat". In an unconventional move, Jay-Z then spurned the record contract he had long sought and left Payday Records to form his own label, Roc-A-Fella Records, with Damon Dash and Kareem "Biggs" Burke. Jay-Z later explained that he thought he could do a better job of marketing his records on his own:
[Payday] eventually signed me to a deal, but were acting shady the whole time, like they didn't know how to work a record or something," says Jay. "The things that they were setting up for me I could have done myself. They had me traveling places to do instores, and my product wasn't even available in the store. We shot one video, but when the time came for me to do the video for the second single, I had to be cut out. They gave me the money and I started my own company. There was a little arguing back and forth, but our conflict finally got resolved. The bottom line was they wasn't doing their job, so I had to get out of there.[10]
Jay-Z rented a small, cheap office for Roc-A-Fella Records on John Street in one of the "dreariest parts of the busiest city in the world".[10] Jay-Z and his compatriots thought of their low-rent headquarters as a "starting point" that would eventually lead them to Manhattan.[10] In 1995 and early 1996, Jay-Z appeared on records by Big L and Mic Geronimo, further raising his profile. At this point, he was still considered an "underground"[11] rapper with a "new jack" style.[12] Roc-A-Fella released Reasonable Doubt with Priority Records.[13]
Reasonable Doubt was recorded at D&D Studios and mixed at Platinum Island, however, its beats were formed elsewhere. "Can't Knock the Hustle" was produced by Knobody at his mother's home in 1994, while the vocals were recorded on tour at a studio in Tampa Florida named Progressive Music with Mary J Blige. Ski produced "Feelin' It" and "Politics as Usual" while recording with Camp Lo.[14]
The recording sessions for the album were generally dominated by competition; Ski and Clark Kent created similar beats for "Politics as Usual", but Ski submitted his to Jay-Z first causing his to appear on the album.[14] "Brooklyn's Finest" was a competitive, though friendly battle between Jay-Z and The Notorious B.I.G. in which Jay-Z tried proving that he is of Biggie's caliber, while Biggie tried brushing his rhymes off as insignificant.[14] Although the rappers had already met on the set for the "Dead Presidents" music video, they discovered that neither wrote down their rhymes while recording.[14] The recording of "Brooklyn's Finest" spanned two months and moved from D&D Studios to Giant Studios where the Clark Kent-sung chorus was recorded.[14] The studio sessions affected Jay-Z mentally: as he told Rolling Stone, "The studio was like a psychiatrist's couch for me".[8]
Reasonable Doubt has Mafioso rap themes.[15][16] David Drake of Stylus Magazine considers the lyrics to be characterized by "gritty realism".[17] Journalist Dream Hampton explains Jay-Z's lyrics saying: "MC's had definitely touched [...] on hustling. But Jay, talks about what it can do to a person's inner peace, and what it can do to their mind".[9] Allmusic's Steve Huey describes him as "a street hustler from the projects who rapped about what he knew—and he was very, very good at it...detailing his experiences on the streets with disarming honesty".[18] Huey summarizes the album's subject matter saying:
He's cocky bordering on arrogant, but playful and witty, and exudes an effortless, unaffected cool throughout. And even if he's rapping about rising to the top instead of being there, his material obsessions are already apparent [...] the album's defining cut might [...] be the brief "22 Two's," which not only demonstrates Jay-Z's extraordinary talent as a pure freestyle rapper, but also preaches a subtle message through its club hostess: Bad behavior gets in the way of making money. Perhaps that's why Jay-Z waxes reflective, not enthusiastic, about the darker side of the streets.[18]
Allmusic's Steve Birchmeier writes that the album's production exhibits characteristics of "the pre-gangsta era, a foregone era when samples fueled the beats and turntablism supplied the hooks", which "sets Reasonable Doubt apart from Jay-Z's later work".[19] "Can't Knock the Hustle" features a smooth beat.[20] "Politics as Usual" has an R&B sound and a sample of "Hurry Up This Way Again" by The Stylistics.[20] "Dead Presidents" samples Nas' voice from "The World Is Yours" in its chorus.[21] According to IGN's Spence D., "Ski brings back the stripped down piano fill style lending the track a late night jazz vibe" on "Feelin' It", and "22 Two's" has a "mournful jazz inclined groove" that prominently features string instruments.[20] "Coming of Age" contains a Clark Kent-produced beat that samples the melody and drums from "Inside You" by Eddie Henderson.[20]
Commercial performance[edit]
After its release on June 25, 1996,[16] the album peaked at number 23 on the Billboard 200.[22] It spent 18 weeks on the chart, and 55 weeks on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, on which it reached number three.[23] By the end of 1996, it had sold 420,000 copies in the United States.[16] On February 7, 2002, Reasonable Doubt was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for shipments of one million copies in the US.[1]
Four singles—"Dead Presidents", "Ain't No Nigga", "Can't Knock the Hustle" and "Feelin' It"—were released in promotion of Reasonable Doubt. "Dead Presidents" is the only single that did not chart, though it was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.[1] The second single, "Ain't No Nigga", featuring Foxy Brown, was the most commercially successful single, reaching #50 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales.[24] "Can't Knock the Hustle", the third single, features guest vocals by Mary J. Blige and reached #73 on the Billboard Hot 100 making it the second most successful single on the album,[24] and #30 on the UK Singles Chart making it the most successful single in the United Kingdom.[25] The fourth and final single was "Feelin' It", which reached #79 on the Billboard Hot 100.[24]

The album was well received by music critics upon its release. Entertainment Weekly gave it a B+ rating,[34] while Charlie Braxton of The Source gave it four out of five mics.[35] The magazine later revised it to its "classic" five mic rating, and in 1998, it was listed one of The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums.[6] Allmusic's Steve Huey noted that its lyrical appeal lies within Jay's "effortless, unaffected cool" flow, "disarming honesty", and his knack for "writing some of the most acrobatic rhymes heard in quite some time".[18] Huey writes that this lyrical depth "helps Reasonable Doubt rank as one of the finest albums of New York's hip-hop renaissance of the '90s".[18] Fellow Allmusic writer Jason Birchmeier claims that Jay-Z's lyrics are "candidly professional, but it's the producers more so than Jay-Z himself that make this album so untouchable".[19] Birchmeier remarks that the album "boasts an amazing roster of producers", and Steve Juon agrees describing Ski, Clark Kent and DJ Premier as "the best beatmakers in rap".[12] Juon also recognizes the album's lyrical strength and describes the album's reception saying:
This is not only the definitive album from H to the Izzo's catalogue, it's one of the ten most important rap records of the entire 1990's. It's possible to live without having heard it - but after you do, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it. Even nearly six years later, this album stands up to the best production and strongest lyricism coming out of any rap around the globe. If an album could be said to have made corny MC's into Jay-Z haters, this is the one.[12]
In a retrospective review for MSN Music, Robert Christgau wrote, "Designed for the hip-hop cognoscenti and street aesthetes who still swear he never topped it, his self-financed debut album is richer than any outsider could have known, and benefits from everything we've since learned about the minor crack baron who put his money where his mouth was. You can hear him marshalling a discipline known to few rappers and many crack barons, and that asceticism undercuts the intrinsic delight of his rhymes".[30]
Reasonable Doubt ranks on top of albums lists by Rolling Stone (2003's "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time",[8] Blender (2003's "500 CDs You Must Own Before You Die"),[7] Vibe (2004's "51 Albums Representing a Generation, a Sound and a Movement"),[7] and Hip Hop Connection (2006's "The 100 Greatest Rap Albums 1995-2005").[7]

Legacy and influence[edit]
Hip hop music[edit]
The album's success helped popularize Mafioso rap and its associated imagery of high class and expensive lifestyles, including drinking Cristal, driving Lexus automobiles, and living out the plots of films such as Scarface and Carlito's Way.[15] This in turn displaced gangsta rap as the dominant style of hip hop at the time.[15] Stylus Magazine writer Evan McGarvey claims that hustler rap group The Clipse try emulating Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt sound on their 2006 song "We Got It for Cheap".[43]
Reasonable Doubt is often "considered one of hip-hop's landmark albums", according to Pitchfork Media's Ryan Schreiber.[44] It is compared to The Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die and Nas' Illmatic as a classic hip hop album.[18][45][46]
Subsequent work by Jay-Z[edit]
Despite being the lowest charting Jay-Z album,[22] it is often considered his best record.[4] Carter himself lists it as number one on a list of his albums from best to worst.[47] It differs from his future albums in its lack of "pop-crossover" songs and chart topping hits.[4] Jay-Z's follow-up to Reasonable Doubt, In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 was primarily produced by Sean "Diddy" Combs and his team of producers, The Hit Men. Future Jay-Z albums included production by Combs, The Neptunes, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz and later Kanye West. Shaheem Reid of MTV explains, "Reasonable Doubt might not have the radio hits or club bangers of many of his other albums, but it may be Jay at his most lyrical—and certainly at his most honest, according to him".[11]
Jay-Z has said that recreating Reasonable Doubt would be challenging, as he was living a different lifestyle with a completely different state of mind when he wrote the album.[11][21][44] Ian Cohen of Stylus Magazine writes of its significance in context of Jay-Z's catalogue, "Reasonable Doubt was the come-up, The Blueprint was the comeback, and The Black Album may not have found him at his strongest lyrically, but it gained gravitas from meta-awareness and introspection".[48]
Tenth anniversary concert[edit]
In 2006, Jay-Z performed the songs from Reasonable Doubt at the Radio City Music Hall to celebrate its tenth anniversary. The concert's band included The Roots' drummer Questlove, the Illadelphonics, a 50-piece orchestra dubbed The Hustla's Symphony and Just Blaze, the performance's disc jockey.[11] On "Can't Knock the Hustle", Beyoncé Knowles replaced Mary J. Blige, who was preparing for her Breakthrough Tour at the time.[11] Jay-Z rapped The Notorious B.I.G.'s verses on "Brooklyn's Finest", and Jaz-O's verse was left out of "Bring It On".[11] Jay-Z added a verse to "22 Two's" in which he says variations of the words "for/four" 44 times over the beat of "Can I Kick It?" by A Tribe Called Quest.[11] Other alterations include Jay-Z changing a lyrical mention of Cristal to Dom Pérignon and Jay-Z's band "spruc[ing] up tracks like 'Regrets' to add more energy".[11] Celebrities such as Alicia Keys, Young Jeezy, Jadakiss, Chris Tucker, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony attended the concert.[11] 3,000 tickets were put on sale; all were sold within two minutes according to Roc-A-Fella Records' website.[49]

Army Releases November Suicide Data
December 11, 2009
By OCPA Media Relations
, Wayne V. Hall
WASHINGTON, D.C. (December 11) — The Army released suicide data for the month of November on December 10. Among active-duty Soldiers, there were 12 potential suicides, all of which are pending determination of the manner of death. For October, the Army reported 16 potential suicides among active-duty Soldiers. Since the release of that report, three have been confirmed as suicides, and 13 remain under investigation.
There were 147 reported active-duty Army Suicides from January 2009 through November 2009. Of these, 102 have been confirmed, and 45 are pending determination of manner of death. For the same period in 2008, there were 127 suicides among active-duty Soldiers.
During November 2009, among reserve-component Soldiers who were not on active duty, there were two potential suicides. Among that same group, from January 2009 through November 2009, there were 71 reported suicides. Of those, 41 were confirmed as suicides, and 30 remain under investigation to determine the manner of death. For the same period in 2008, there were 50 suicides among reserve Soldiers who were not on active duty.
In a media roundtable conducted Nov. 17, 2009, Gen. Peter W. Chiarelli, Army vice chief of staff, confirmed that the total number of suicides in the Army during 2009 had exceeded the total for 2008.
"We conduct an exhaustive review of every suicide within the Army," said Brig. Gen. Colleen McGuire, director, Suicide Prevention Task Force. "What we have learned is that there is no single or simple answer to preventing suicide. This tells us that we must continue to take a holistic approach to identifying and helping Soldiers and families with issues such as behavioral health problems, substance abuse, and relationship failures."
Although operational tempo and frequent deployments are often cited as possible causes for the Army's increased suicide rate, data gathered through the Army's efforts has not shown a link between operational tempo and suicide.
"We have analyzed this part of the problem very closely," said Walter Morales, Army suicide prevention program manager. "So far, we just haven't found that repeated deployments and suicide are directly connected. Approximately 30 percent of suicides in the Army occur among those who have never deployed. Many others occur among those who have deployed once. This means we have to continue to reach the entire Army community with effective suicide prevention programs, for those who have deployed and those who haven't."
In addition to the Army's current campaign plan to improve the full spectrum of health promotion, risk reduction, and suicide prevention programs, the Army is testing pilot programs in virtual behavioral health counseling, enhanced behavioral health counseling before and after deployment, and expanded privacy protections for soldiers seeking substance abuse counseling.
For example, the Army recently completed the Virtual Behavioral Health Pilot Program (VBHPP) at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. The VBHPP team is now analyzing the initial results to help the Army better determine whether the program should be expanded to additional units and locations. Army leaders can access current health promotion guidance in newly-revised Army Regulation 600-63 (Health Promotion) and Army Pamphlet 600-24 (Health Promotion, Risk Reduction and Suicide Prevention).
Soldiers and Families in need of crisis assistance can contact Military OneSource or the Defense Center of Excellence (DCOE) for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury Outreach Center. Trained consultants are available from both organizations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
The Military OneSource toll-free number for those residing in the continental U.S. is 1-800-342-9647; their Web site address is www.militaryonesource.com. Overseas personnel should refer to the Military OneSource Web site for dialing instructions for their specific location.
The DCOE Outreach Center can be contacted at 1-866-966-1020, via electronic mail at email@example.com and at www.dcoe.health.mil.
The Army's most current suicide prevention information is located at www.armyg1.army.mil.

The collection of DNA has mushroomed in the past five years. California has the third-largest forensic DNA database of any government entity in the world (behind Britain and the US government). All three collect DNA from arrestees regardless of guilt. All three have databases highly skewed by race and class. In Britain 42 percent of black men have had their DNA sampled and stored. Until recently, however, forensic DNA samples were retained only from convicted felons who had committed violent or sexual offenses. With very little oversight or consistency, local rules for collection in criminal cases have expanded haphazardly, often including anyone who is arrested even mistakenly. People may challenge the retention of their DNA and sue to have it expunged, but that process can take years.
On March 6 of this year President Obama appeared on America's Most Wanted to announce support for taking DNA from all arrestees, for banking that data and for keeping it without restriction even if there is no subsequent conviction. Undoubtedly it would have been much more controversial if he'd advocated DNA collection for all citizens, but his proposal seems to have slipped under the radar when framed as "only" for arrestees. By this metric "innocence" becomes a matter of degree, with certain people less innocent than others, marked by suspicion, kept on file, looked at first, disproportionately subject to the vicissitudes of laboratory and storage error. And even if mistakes are rare, it is exceedingly hard to persuade anyone of that if you are tossed in with a category the public deems inherently suspicious.
Obama and John Walsh, the host of America's Most Wanted, endorsed the patently false idea that DNA is no different from fingerprinting. DNA samples can potentially reveal data about all kinds of other aspects of the self, including probabilities for certain health conditions, and can potentially implicate close family members. Employers and insurance companies are already hungering for DNA analysis that may allow them to refuse jobs or coverage to those with the mere hint of genetic predisposition to certain medical conditions (never mind pre-existing conditions).
In addition to the invasion of privacy, we must also weigh the possibility of technical mistakes. As a report from the National Research Council observes, "There is no uniformity in the certification of forensic practitioners, or in the accreditation of crime laboratories." That measure of human error is never conveyed in narratives touting the perfect infallibility of DNA evidence.
Furthermore, while DNA has been vaunted as a revolutionary tool of exoneration–in ruling out suspects, in other words–it is much less precise as a mechanism of positive identification when dealing with "cold hits," that is, attempting to match DNA fragments from a crime scene against samples stored in massive databases. Bioethicist Erin Murphy clarifies the point by comparing DNA typing to blood typing: "Imagine a murder scene at which police find a blood sample certain to belong to the killer. Crime scene technicians…show that it is type O. Later, the police find and draw blood from two suspects. One suspect is type AB; the other is type O. We can, with unreserved confidence, say that the first suspect is not the killer; but regarding the second suspect, we can only say that she is included within the class of people that includes the killer. The probability that she is the actual killer turns on how many other people have that blood type, along with any other evidence that we might be able to adduce."

Feb. 14, 2012 : Great experience. The entire staff was wonderful, but the bell staff/valet were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time in New Orleans and will definitely stay at the Maison Dupuy on our next trip.
Jan. 31, 2012 : There are plenty of nice boutique hotels in the French Quarter. What we loved best about our stay at this hotel was the charming staff.

Jan. 27, 2012 : We definitly plan on coming back and staying at your hotel. We stopped coming yearly to New Orleans because our last hotel experience was so bad but now that we have found the Maison Dupuy we already are planning on returning. Thank you for an overall wonderful experience.

Utter insecurity, that's why. I don't want to hear about "better" PS3 exclusives when CoD PS3 will outsell them all combined. What's the use of having "great" games when nobody buys them? #2.1.1

Amazing how the Sony battyboys will defend this for the same exact reasons they rip apart Kinect. Hypocrisy much? #11
All I know is that fans of a certain console should really seek medical help for all the "bias" that they constantly hallucinate.

Abraham Brim's Group
Abraham is a teacher at the school and is the leader of this group of borrowers. He is 50 years old and was born in Magburaka, a town in northern Sierra Leone. Abraham is married with six children and has been in the teaching profession for 25 years. He is requesting a loan to buy construction materials, including bags of cement, to complete the construction of his house.
Staff from this institution, like many other institutions within SMT's area of operation, come to SMT to apply for loans. At the end of each month, these teachers can repay the loan out of their monthly salaries. Their institution's bursar is directly responsible for deducting the repayment amount and paying SMT on their behalf.
Additional Information
About Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT)Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT) is Kiva's oldest field partner in Sierra Leone. SMT began operations in 2002 as a microcredit program of the NGO Child Fund Sierra Leone under a USAID program to assist the reintegration of ex combatants back into their communities. Today, SMT offers group, agricultural, individual and salary loans to micro-entrepreneurs through six branches and one sub-branch in rural, urban, and peri-urban areas. By providing small loans and other financial services, SMT empowers poor clients to generate more income to help their families, improve their wellbeing, and create a more vibrant private small-business sector in Sierra Leone.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

How does the Chinese Communist Party retain its implacable rule over one-fifth of humanity? Richard McGregor explains.
The Party: The Secret World of China's Communist Rulers
By Richard McGregor
(Harper, 302 pages, $27.99)
The question is, how do they do it? They starved some 35 million Chinese in the late 1950s during Mao's disastrous Great Leap Forward. They threw the country into social, economic, and political chaos in the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution terror purges of the 1960s and '70s. They massacred pro-democracy student demonstrators in Tiananmen Square in June 1989. Today their arbitrary arrests and denial of free speech and association continue. So how does the Chinese Communist Party, despite methodical oppression and denial of basic human rights, retain its implacable rule over one-fifth of humanity? With the implosion of the Soviet Union, total rejection of communism throughout Eastern Europe, and the theoretical end of history, the era was supposed to be over when a closed cabal of corrupt, self-serving goons could dominate a country so vast and diverse. Much less create, in only three decades, the world's second-largest economy and a geopolitical rival to the U.S.
Solving this conundrum is the task Richard McGregor has set himself in The Party: The Secret World of China's Communist Rulers. A Financial Times correspondent who reported from China for 20 years, McGregor calls on his long experience and solid reporting to produce this illuminating, detailed depiction of the hidden moving parts of the world's largest political machine. Along the way, McGregor is tough-minded enough to give the devil his due. "The Chinese communist system is, in many ways, rotten, costly, corrupt and often dysfunctional," he writes. "Somehow, it has outlasted, outsmarted, outperformed or simply outlawed its critics, flummoxing the pundits who have predicted its demise at numerous junctures. As a political machine alone, the Party is a phenomenon of awesome and unique dimensions."
It is also certifiably paranoid. Latest proof is its banning of McGregor's book this summer. Although no official list of forbidden books is published, it is not on sale in mainland China and potential buyers are blocked when trying to find it online. Chinese websites of international booksellers like Amazon respond "This page cannot be displayed," just as they do to requests for information on the Tiananmen massacre or the Dalai Lama. This for a specialist book published overseas in English and unintelligible to the great majority of Chinese citizens. McGregor calls the ban "perversely flattering, and very much confirmation of the secrecy I was writing about."
Not that he or anyone else should be surprised. The CCP's grip on power is based on a simple formula from Lenin's original playbook: complete control of personnel, propaganda, and the People's Liberation Army. However China's smiling face may look to the crowds of foreigners flocking to the 2008 Beijing Olympics and this summer's Shanghai World Expo 2010, the very names of the bodies exercising that power -- the Politburo, Central Committee, Presidium -- all reveal that China's system runs, as the author puts it, "on Soviet hardware."
The principal tool of control is the Party's Central Organization Department. A direct descendant of Lenin's 1919 Orgburo, it faithfully replicates the Soviet nomenklatura system of reserving prize jobs for the happy few among Party faithful. Little known abroad and even within China itself, it operates out of a huge unmarked building near Tiananmen Square, its phone number unlisted. Its secret deliberations decide who will hold what positions not only in government, but also in business, the judiciary, media, and academia. It's as if, McGregor writes, a single department in Washington arbitrarily appointed the entire U.S. cabinet, state governors, and mayors of all major cities; Supreme Court justices; the chief executives of GE, Exxon-Mobil, Walmart, and dozens of other companies; plus editors of newspapers and heads of TV networks; along with the presidents of Yale and Harvard and chiefs of think tanks like Brookings and the Heritage Foundation.
Such a secret, systematic spoils system can only lead to colossal corruption. Party officials rule their local fiefdoms like virtual marketplaces where government jobs are bought and sold under an unofficial "pay for play" system. McGregor's research turned up an official in Suihua who paid more than $100,000 to the local Organization Department to become a party secretary. Another paid "only" $44,000 to be party secretary in a smaller locale, but parlayed that in two years into nearly $740,000 in graft, a gratifying return on investment of some 1,700 percent.
Addressing the Party's token anti-corruption commission in 2006, General Secretary Hu Jintao went through the motions of warning, "This time-bomb buried under society could...lead to a series of explosions which could cause chaos through society and paralyze the administration." But as he knows better than any, the Party system allows top officials to supervise themselves. Thus bribes now routinely run into millions of dollars to procure even low-level jobs. The author compares CCP corruption to "a transaction tax that distributes ill-gotten gains among the ruling class. In that respect, it becomes the glue that keeps the system together."
THE SYSTEM IS COMMUNIST to the core, but the rigid ideology that purportedly underpins it -- and led to the collapse of Soviet Communism -- has been carefully airbrushed out. After the Tiananmen Square massacre, Deng Xiaoping, who had launched China's early market reforms in 1978, laid down the flexible new Party line: "On economic matters, relaxed controls; for political matters, tight controls." Party leaders quickly learned to talk out of both sides of their mouths, preaching Marxism in public statements while prodding businesses to keep getting bigger and richer.
The sleight of hand often works with foreigners: during a visit to Beijing some years back, Rupert Murdoch declared he hadn't met a single communist in China. Actually he could have found no fewer than 78 million card-carrying Party members, many multimillionaires. As for the Party's ideology, Chen Yuan, Party member, senior banker, and son of a Long March veteran, puts it succinctly: "We are the Communist Party, and we decide what communism means."
Above all, they try to avoid looking like communists. Leaders keep their Mao suits in the closet except for big Party occasions. When Hu Jintao travels abroad on state visits, he wears a Western business suit and is officially described not as general secretary of the CCP, but as president of China. This lowers his ideological profile -- communist, moi? -- and gives the superficial impression he was democratically elected instead of picked by the Politburo behind closed doors. As a professor at Beijing University explained to McGregor, "The Party is like God. He is everywhere. You just can't see Him."
To be sure, Chinese citizens still feel the Party's presence everywhere, but it is less heavy-handed. Although its thugs will strong-arm any person or group perceived as a challenge to its primacy, today it prefers persuasion, co-opting, and seduction rather than coercion. The most striking recent example of this more relaxed attitude is Tombstone, a 2008 book by the Xinhua News Agency journalist Yang Jisheng.
After years of clandestine research, Yang details for more than a thousand pages the horrors and suffering of Mao's Great Leap Forward, a strictly taboo subject for the Party. Though no mainland bookstore or publisher would touch such a scorching condemnation of Chinese communist brutality, the book is available in Hong Kong. And, mirabile dictu, Yang has not been arrested or even harassed. The Party prefers to try to obscure it by banning mention of it in the media. "The authorities are not as stupid as they used to be," Yang says. "If this had happened in the past, I would be a dead man and my family would have been destroyed."
AS A FINANCIAL REPORTER, McGregor is especially strong on the Party's ambiguous relations with business. Although the government has laid off nearly 50 million workers in state enterprises in its economic reorganization, he cautions Western observers not to confuse this with free market privatization -- the Party retains ultimate control of state businesses. "The corporate animal that emerged from the protracted and painful birth of China Inc. was a strange new beast," he writes, "both commercial and communist."
For one thing, the state still owns either 100 percent or a majority of key sectors from oil, petrochemicals, mining, and banks to telecoms, steel, electricity, and aviation. For another, all heads of large businesses are Party members and jump to it when Beijing gives an order -- as when it told bankers to flood the market with credit, often against their better judgment, to deal with the current financial crisis. On the desks of about 50 of the most important sits a "red machine," a special encrypted telephone linking them to top Party, government, and business players. The ultimate Chinese status symbol, the phone will be answered, promptly, by a loyal Party member.
Newspaper editors and TV producers also get frequent calls, even if they don't have red machines on the desk. It will be from the Central Propaganda Department giving the angle on the day's news. Here again, the Party now uses a soft sell, relying on the media's "self-discipline." Chinese newsmen don't really need to be told how to play a story, one editor explained to McGregor. "There is a red line in their head."
Americans will soon be getting more of the Party's perspective on current affairs as an increasingly media-savvy Propaganda Department develops Chinese news media overseas. The Xinhua agency recently announced plans to open a prominent newsroom in New York's Times Square, with Reuters, News Corp., and the New York Times as neighbors. It will provide a Chinese-slanted news feed to CNC World, the agency's new 24-hour channel. This is part of the Party's decision to spend billions of dollars to create a global media empire to offset what it considers biased coverage of China.
Having banned it, the Party clearly considers McGregor's masterful study to be biased coverage indeed. All the more reason to buy it, in order to learn what the Party would rather we did not know about how it really runs the country and how its hybrid Leninist capitalism works. The book also should be required reading as an antidote to the coming wave of 90th-anniversary CCP hoopla next year. The Party already has thousands of researchers working up a propaganda barrage of its official history since its creation in 1921. The world is about to hear more than it wants to about how the Party "successfully united and led the Chinese people to achieve miracles," as Central Committee Vice President Xi Jinping recently put it.
When will the Party be over? On that inevitable, probably bloody, day when Chinese citizens decide that it's not enough in life to get rich, if they don't have the right to live free under a democratically elected government. They may already be partway there, having manifestly lost their communist faith. As a professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing told McGregor, "Party leaders realize that they don't have a dominant ideology they can use to run the country any more. The sole ideology shared by the government and the people is money worship."

Founder of Eastside Heroes & Director of the Corozon Project in East San Jose
In just ten days this August, seven of our San Jose residents were killed, and five more are recovering from gun shot wounds. Some call this a "spike" in violence, I call it "The start of the 2nd War".
This is not an anomaly. Those community members older than 30 years old, who lived in Gang Abatement Zones during the 1980's and early 1990's, know. You see, there is a huge difference between "a spike in gang violence" and "war". Once a war begins, it is almost impossible to stop. The 1st War, during the 1980's and early 1990's, lasted 10 years, and was marked by every day violence. "War" in any context is violence that occurs "on sight". There is no "taking turns, waiting for retaliation".
Our city leaders should not act surprised at this new level of violence. In fact, I voiced the "Mayday" alarm early. Others have done so as well. For the past seven years, we have been warning city and community leaders during 1:1 meetings and during collaborative meetings. Two years ago I wrote in a Mercury News Op Ed piece that we were on the cusp of this 2nd War. Sadly, these warnings fell on deaf ears and were disregarded by many as alarmism.
This 2nd war may perplex some, but we (those who were traumatized by the 1st war) saw this 2nd "Tsunami" wave coming years in advance. Many moved away in order to spare their children from such hell on earth. Others became numb, and stood by looking at the waters receding slowly.
Now we are here. At the start of the 2nd War. Sadly, it is too late for prevention talk. Now is the time for relentless intervention efforts. However, I predict this 2nd War will be worse than the 1st War for three reasons. #1 our younger generation has been desensitized to violence by the 2nd grade. #2 guns are now utilized more often as weapons of choice, thanks in part to the sale of toy guns which teach children how to load 10 "bullets" into a magazine clip and chamber each round by pulling the slide. And #3: our society's failure to create sufficient job opportunities and livable waged have created the conditions for self-destructive despair. Our unwillingness to fund effective prevention and intervention programs is now evident. Defunding mentoring programs, community centers and reducing police response time has created the perfect storm. Now the storm is here. We must all unite to save as many as we can.
The truth is, gang members are NOT monsters. Gang members are part of our community. They are a mirror (our sons, daughters, cousins, neighbors) reflecting back their pain caused by our society's gross negligence. The truth is: Behavior is language. And since 2003, our teens and young adults have been "talking" to us via these "spikes" of gang violence. But too many of our leaders failed to listen. If we care to listen, we must ask: "What are the teens and young adults saying to us when they get multiple tattoos on their faces? What are our teens and young adults saying when they physically assault, stab, and kill in broad daylight?" The answer is heart-breaking: They are telling us about the death of their dreams. They are telling us they no longer believe that home-ownership, a quality education, and their ultimate career aspiration are realistic goals.
Now, more than ever, is the time to restore hope. Now is the time to fight for more funding. Now is the time to declare war on poverty and despair. Now is the time to embrace all in kinship and realize that those who we believe deserve love the least, are actually the ones that need it the most.

It is how they are tuned in in. Change can be acceptable to some and not so some. It shows how strong you are personally.
Depends on the change, Change is difficult for anyone, some see change as a loss and letting go of something is too much to handle. A change means readjusting your life either a little or a lot that is not the hard part, change is inevitable with life as always but readjusting or even simply adjusting is never easy for people.
Been under overwhelming stress for a very long time. Routine helps them cope. It gives them that little bit of familarity that they can hold onto and take comfort in.
Because they aren't adapatable. If one thing in there life changes, they might go insane. Some people, not all though.
I completely agree with AnonOnEP, with the addition that sometimes, it's actually all new to the person. Everyone has to process and then cope, but if it's not something you're used to, you're gonna freak out first before you figure out how to cope appropriately.
Glandular imbalance, big horrible experiences, sometimes brain damage, and some folks have simply trained themselves to be super-sensitive and unbelievably unrealistic.
There are insecure and like things to stay the same because they are comfortable with it the way it is, even if there's a chance that change might make it better
Because their freaking nuts.........................................................................................

Executive Director
The day I cast my first vote, admittedly for losing candidates, I walked a little taller because I was certain that day I had become an adult. To this day, my family may have to miss spending Thanksgiving together, but we always get together in person or, now, virtually, on Election Day. Simply put, for me, there is just no constitutional right more important than the right to vote. Without it, our Constitution is not worth the paper it is printed on.
That's why I'm so excited to have been invited to hear Attorney General Eric Holder's remarks about the Voting Rights Act of 1965 on Tuesday night at the LBJ Auditorium in Austin. The late president's family will be there to hear General Holder talk about the importance of voting rights and Lyndon Johnson's heroic leadership in getting the law enacted.
The Attorney General is expected to reiterate the importance of respecting and ensuring the voting rights of all Americans. In Texas, this means, fighting back against those who would shrink our democracy by restricting the right to vote.
We await a decision from the Department of Justice about the legality of Texas' new Voter ID law under the Voting Rights Act. I trust that the justice department sees clearly the motives of those who would deny large groups of Texans their right to vote. It would be funny if it weren't so awful: our state ranks among the lowest (45th in 2008) in the nation in voter turnout. We ought to be thinking of ways to promote and ensure the right to vote; instead we are shamefully making it more difficult for people to exercise their constitutional right. As I told the Texas Senate in January, this law is a solution in search of a problem. There is NO evidence of in-person voter fraud in Texas.
Our new Voter ID law, like efforts in at least six other states, is designed to keep people of color and those in lower income groups away from the polls. Here's why: it would require a registered voter who previously only had to present her voter registration card to now show a Texas drivers' license, a Texas state ID card, a concealed handgun carry license, a U.S. military card or a U.S. passport. Unable to show any of these, she may cast a provisional ballot, which will only be counted if she comes forward with the required ID within 6 days. (Small comfort, as our state has one of the lowest rates of cleared provisional ballots in the country. About eighty percent were rejected in 2008.)
If this law is allowed to stand, our state will have serious problems. An expert on census and voting reviewed three demographic studies and concluded that hundreds of thousands of minority voters do not have the required identification. Nor will it be easy for them to get the IDs required to vote. Almost half of Texas' 254 counties have drivers' license offices with reduced hours or no motor vehicle office at all.
A person who lives in, let's say, the Big Bend area of Texas where her county has no motor vehicles office, faces potentially insurmountable hurdles. First, she has to have a birth certificate ($22) or a marriage license ($71) if there has been a name change or a passport ($110) to get the state-issued ID. Then, there is the cost of the trip to the drivers' license office; in the case of the Big Bend resident, it's about an hour and half to the nearest office in Alpine. With gas prices so high, she could spend up to $85 for the roundtrip. And remember, our potential voter doesn't drive: she has to find a friend or relative who does have a drivers' license. And then there are the costs of lost wages. It's like that advertisement says: The Cost of the Right to Vote in Texas? priceless.
Under this law Texans — particularly those who are elderly or have disabilities or are students or are voters of color or are low-income — will have their cherished constitutional right to vote restricted. That's wrong, and we hope Attorney General Holder will put a stop to it.

During the 2000 election controversy, Democrats brayed "count every vote" in Florida and discounted George Bush's eventual victory in the Electoral College because he lost the national popular vote to Al Gore. Hillary Clinton has to yearn for the return of that Democratic Party of yore.
HBO just aired a docudrama -- "Recount," starring Kevin Spacey as a heroic Gore spokesman -- that romanticizes the Democratic fight to count votes in Florida, even as Democrats have excluded Florida's votes in their entirety from their nomination process this year and are eager to nominate the candidate, Barack Obama, who might end up with fewer popular votes than his challenger.
Back in 2000, Democrats were contemptuous of rules and technicalities about how ballots had to be marked and the process for recounts. All that mattered was the popular will. And the biggest ultimate obstacle to it was the Electoral College, which kept Al Gore from the White House in this "stolen election."
Well, the Democrats' attachment to the unadulterated popular will has gone the way of the hanging chad. Suddenly, Democrats are sticklers for rules. Florida and Michigan became non-states for moving their primary contests up in the calendar in defiance of Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean. A mere matter of timing has been enough to "disenfranchise" -- to use the 2000 argot -- 2.3 million Democratic voters.
It's easy to imagine what Democrats circa 2000 would say about this. Denying the votes in Florida and Michigan would betray the "generation of patriots who risked and sacrificed on the battlefield" in the American Revolution, and be tantamount to "the poll taxes and literacy tests, violence and intimidation, dogs and tear gas" of the Jim Crow era. Counting the votes -- ensuring "that every voice is heard and every vote is counted" -- would be a cause worthy of the abolitionists and suffragists.
Of course, Hillary Clinton has said all of these things. But instead of being hailed as a crusader for justice, she has been greeted with impatient eye-rolls from most of the Democratic establishment and the press who can't believe Clinton's temerity in insisting on counting Florida and Michigan. What has gotten into the once-admirable junior senator from New York?
The change from 2000 to 2008 is simple to explain. Back then, the liberal establishment wanted Gore to beat Bush. Now, most of it wants Obama to finish off Hillary. The standards have changed accordingly.
