Despite continuing challenging conditions for the wind industry in Europe, the mood of visitors to the exhibition floor at EWEA 2014 in Barcelona in March was upbeat. While the area occupied by the exhibition was compact, activities were lively.
UK-based Magnomatics, a green-technology company specialising in advanced magnet transmission systems, and its partner, renewables and technology consultancy and certification specialist DNV GL, presented a new and innovative drivetrain solution, described as a "front-mounted magnetically-geared pseudo direct-drive generator". Instead of gears interconnecting with each other, torque is transferred through a magnet force, claimed to increase efficiency and near-eliminate wear by avoiding direct metal-to-metal contact. The partners in this research project have analysed the design for a 2.5MW onshore turbine with a 120-metre rotor diameter, and say the concept is scalable to a 12.5MW offshore turbine with a 225-metre rotor.
Low-wind upgrades
Several turbine suppliers presented incremental product optimisations and other system improvements. French manufacturer Alstom and US firm GE both raised the power rating of their low-wind flagship models without changing the rotor diameter and both aim to optimise yield for the windiest IEC class III sites. Both companies also introduced new high tower concepts to go with their model upgrade.
Alstom's 3MW ECO 122 succeeds the 2.7MW model of the same name, claiming a 6% higher annual yield potential, measured at the maximum 7.5 meters per second average wind speed for IEC class III. The company introduced a new 119-metre concrete tower for the ECO 122, developed with French civil-engineering specialist Freyssinet. The design comprises 11 concrete sections and has a 7.2-metre base diameter. A novel installation method using bridge-building techniques allows new sections to be added at the bottom rather than on top. Three sections plus the nacelle are installed on site first and then, using an Eolift, they are lifted, allowing up to eight further sections to be installed underneath.
GE introduced the 2.75-120 model, an upgrade to 2.75MW of the 2.5-120, introduced last year. The new model is claimed to give a 5% higher yield, again measured at 7.5m/s wind speeds. The turbine will become available with GE's new bolted space-frame tower (see page 45) offering 139-metre hub height, a measurement similar to the current hybrid concrete-steel tower supplied by German specialist Max Bogl.
Energy storage
GE also revealed more details about its internal energy storage option, with the main operating benefits being its ability to stabilise short-term power fluctuations and frequency control. The maximum installed battery capacity is 200kW per turbine. GE offers a choice between lithium-type and sodium-sulphur batteries, both offering a high energy density, and the company is clearly still considering the benefits of both. Only a proportion of the energy generated is temporarily stored, and the storage-cycle efficiency is said to be 87-95%.
Siemens Wind Power introduced a power-rating upgrade platform from the initial 3MW class, introduced in 2009, to 3.2MW. The direct-drive model now includes stronger magnets that deliver the higher generator torque with the same stator dimensions. The SWT-3.2 will be available from the end of 2014 with 101-metre and 108-metre rotor diameters for IEC class IA, and 113 metres for IEC class IIA sites. An IEC class III sister version with enlarged rotor seems a likely future addition. Siemens claims about 4% extra annual yield at 7.5m/s average wind speed for the SWT-3.2-113 compared with the 3MW version. The 3MW models will remain available for project sites with lower wind speeds.
DFIG future
An ongoing debate in the wind industry is whether popular doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) will be capable of meeting wind-turbine grid-integration demands in 2016 as laid down in the new European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) network codes. Some experts believe that this will be difficult for DFIG and predict a switch to either induction generators or classic synchronous-type. Others point at possible revisions or flexibility that may yet be added to the ENTSO-E codes, and another group of experts believe that DFIG technology still has much potential left and expect that solutions, together with ongoing converter technology, will be delivered in time.
Blades with variable lengths
Blade manufacturer LM Wind Power and Dutch partners, including the University of Twente and the energy research centre ECN, announced a development that may become a key trend in the wind industry. The partners have developed a blade production and design concept that allows variable lengths to be produced in one large order of rotor blades. They claim that this could reduce the cost of energy by 8-10% on a wind farm. The background to the research project is that output of individual wind turbines at a wind farm depend on location variables, including wind-flow disturbances such as wake effects. The research baseline is an existing lightweight composite blade with variable tip lengths, with the innovative part being an assembly process that enables the permanent joining of the two blade parts while adding minimal mass.
Acciona already manufactures the blades for its 3MW AW116/3000 and AW125/3000 models in a functionally comparable manner. Each blade comprises a similar structural inner blade section and interchangeable tip sections of different length.

The Sirius Status has been the workhorse of the Sirius line-up since its creation.
It gives you the most basic of features, but with an outstanding service record and a extremely low return rate. The SIRIUS Stratus has been the economy-level Sirius Satellite Radio receiver and has proved itself with SIRIUS radio veterans. It has the most basic of features of all the SIRIUS radios out there and keeps you listening without any frills, long after the more complex devices become in need of service or repair. This isn't to say the other radios are poorly made, I am just saying the tried and true SIRIUS Stratus holds up very well under conditions other electronics would not. Maybe call the Stratus the Ugly Duckling of SIRIUS radios or the lumberjack-quality radio, being of tough,but simple design. Whatever you call the Stratus Radios be sure that you consider them in situations you would not want to put a Stiletto or Sportster 5 (ie. a boat or snowmobile).
Also be looking out for the New Stratus 6 and Starmate 8 coming soon……….

Apple, Samsung present closing arguments in California patent trialApple and Samsung on Tuesday presented closing arguments in their high-stakes patent trial, with each side jockeying for position ahead of jury deliberation expected to start on Wednesday.
Kicking off Tuesday's proceedings was a reading of the 109-page jury instructions by presiding Judge Lucy Koh, who said, I need everyone to stay conscious during [this] including myself. In-court reports from All Things D described the long list of 84 instructions as "byzantine," saying the dry document covered details of patent and antitrust law, willful infringement and the dilution of trade dress. At times Judge Koh called for everyone to stand up and "get the blood flowing again."
Apple's closing arguments
Apple lawyer Harold McElhinny wanted to make three main arguments, reports The Verge, the first being "documents are the most valuable key in the truth-finding function." He went on to say that witnesses can be incorrect, "historical documents are almost always where the truth lies."
The second point, and one of the main arguments in Apple's case, was to take into consideration the chronology of events leading to litigation. McElhinny expounded on chronology for nearly 20 minutes, starting with iPhone development in 2003 and ending with Apple's allegations that Samsung copied the "look and feel" of the iPhone and iPad.
Presented for the jury were two familiar slides illustrating the evolution of Samsung product before and after the iPhone first launched in 2007. The information was also made available during the trials' testimony phase in a single exhibit demonstrating the product timeline of Samsung's handsets and tablets post iPhone and iPad.
Source: Apple v. Samsung court documents
McElhinny pointed out the "crisis of design" document was in response to the lack of success Samsung suffered directly after the iPhone launched. In the comparison document, the Galaxy S was pitted side-by-side against the iPhone, with Samsung engineers taking note of the many features iOS implemented more efficiently than the Korean company's solutions.
The lawyer then called back to internal Samsung emails that showed Google, maker of the Android operating system, demanded the Korean company change the designs of their Galaxy S smartphones and certain tablet products because they looked too similar to Apple's iDevices.
Concluding the Apple counsel's second point of creating a chronology was McElhinny's assertion that Samsung's top executives "were bound and determined to cash in on the iPhone's success." He attributed the company's resurgence in the marketplace to the allegedly copied features, noting sales "took off after the first iPhone-derived product was added to the mix," referencing the Galaxy S. They were copying the worlds most successful product, McElhinny said.
As for the third argument, Apple's attorney brought the Korean tech monolith's case handling into question.
No Samsung executives were willing to come here from Korea, McElhinny said. We called some of their top people. Samsung had a chance to defend itself in this case; instead they sent you lawyers. Instead of witnesses, they brought you lawyers.
Next, Apple rebuked Samsung's contention that the iPhone's patents are obvious, functional and based on prior art. McElhinny said there "has been a complete failure of proof" regarding the invalidation of Apple's design patents, alluding to Samsung's lack of evidence to support such legal claims.
Samsung was the iPhones biggest fan, McElhinny said. They knew a good thing when they saw it. They tried to compete with it, and when they couldnt, they copied it.

The same was said in regard to claims against Apple's utility patents such as the pinch-to-zoom and rubber-banding features seen in iOS.
LaunchTile technology pointed to as prior art against Apple's utility patents.

Also touched on was consumer confusion relating to certain Samsung products, with the lawyer presenting a Best Buy survey that studied the reasons why customers were returning the Galaxy Tab. During testimony, Apple was quick to point out that a number of customers returned the Samsung tablet after realizing it wasn't an iPad. It was later reported that many more customers returned the Galaxy Tab due to malfunctions than mistaken identity, though the metric is still not a positive for Samsung.
Wrapping up, McElhinny said there are two factors driving the damages claims: Samsung sold 22.7 million infringing handsets to date; and sales of said handsets generated $8.16 billion in revenue for the company.
The damages in this case should be large, because the infringement has been massive, McElhinny said, presenting four different damages proposals ranging from $519 million to $2.5 billion.

NASCAR Nationwide: Elliott Sadler finally wins at Talladega
Finally Elliott Sadler is a happy man at Talladega.
He'd won poles here. He'd run well here. He survived a terrifying crash here in 2003 when his car flew into the air, flipped twice and landed on its roof.
Finally he won here, taking the Aaron's 312 Nationwide race in a tight last lap over rookie Chris Buescher. Regan Smith finished third.
This was Sadler's 10th career Nationwide victory but his first at Talladega Superspeedway and his first overall since August of 2012. He'd gone 54 Nationwide starts without a victory.
"I have such a love-hate relationship with this race track," said Sadler, a veteran who started racing go-karts in 1983. "Every autograph session fans ask about that flip. Now they can ask me about winning."
NASCAR stopped the race briefly with under 20 laps to go after a crash swept up five cars, including a fiery race ending for Kasey Kahne. While NASCAR cleaned up the mess on the track, Sadler fretted.
"Must have been 20 scenarios going through my head – how I'd screwed up here before," Sadler recalled. "But I was able to make the blocks at the right time" to hold off late-race passes.
Sadler went all last season without a victory for Joe Gibbs Racing, an uncharacteristically long dry spell in his career.
"It weighed on me heavy," Sadler said. "I'm a very competitive person. I don't just want to drive around. I want to win.
"I did a lot of work over the winter keeping myself in shape. But it hurt the way last year was. Made for a long, hard winter."
This was Buescher's first top-five finish in Nationwide, but Sadler said it's obvious the rookie has a lot of talent. Buescher was just happy to get through a superspeedway race, with all of its bump-drafting, without wrecking a car.
"It was insane to say the least," Buescher said. "We went all the way to the back and came back up to the front and to be battling at the end was incredible.
"I got to learn a lot from good friends. David Ragan (who finished fourth) is a really good friend of mine. He helped me a lot throughout the race."
The primary adjustment for young drivers here is the standard NASCAR sets for "bump-drafting." You are allowed to bump cars in front of you to speed them forward, but you can't "push" by holding constant contact with another car's back bumper.
"I've never been to one of these restrictor-plate races where you're able to make contact like that. It was absolutely crazy and very out-of-control," Buescher said.
That can become a problem, Smith said, because drivers sometimes can't tell if they're attached to another car's bumper without hitting the brakes.
"We understand the difference between a bump and a push," Smith said. "It's just hard to know when you go over the line."

Beanpot teams campaign against domestic abuse
January 23, 2012
Boston.com Town Correspondent, Johanna Kaiser
College hockey coaches and captains are joining the state's fifth annual White Ribbon Day Campaign aimed at ending violence against women and children by discussing the importance of men in the movement.
Players, coaches, and athletic directors from the four hockey teams that compete in the annual Beanpot Tournament--Boston College, Boston University, Harvard University, and Northeastern University--joined state officials and local district attorneys at the State House on Monday to encourage men and boys speak out against sexual assault and domestic violence
"I know firsthand how effective it is to involve young men as part of our collective voice to address the very real problem of domestic and teen dating violence, and the White Ribbon Campaign works to help ensure that men are actively engaged in reinforcing a proactive approach to maintaining a positive climate of healthy relationships." Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone, a former chairman of the campaign, said in a statement.
The campaign, sponsored by Jane Doe Inc. is encouraging men to participate in the movement to serve as role models and help change attitudes of other men and boys.
"The competing teams join us in encouraging all of our peers and young men everywhere to take and adhere to the White Ribbon Pledge -- being part of the solution in ending violence against women," Steve Nazro, chairman of the Beanpot Tournament and vice president of events at TD Garden, said in a statement.
The City of Boston is set to proclaim Wednesday, March 9, White Ribbon Day at a noon City Council meeting.

Teams of 1, 2 and 3 are allowed. Teams of two must alternate doing entire tris, while teams of three can switch between each event.
SR and I were a team of two. Our support crew consisted of The Lorax and Step-Daughter.
We set up our tent, like most other teams, in Pattison State Park.
This is the second year the event has been in existence, and it's catching on. There were about twice as many participants this year.
SR went first, as he is obviously the faster of the two of us. He seemed really happy with his improvement on the swim. And, as expected, he kicked booty on the bike and the run.
He was so mad that this was the only picture I took of him.
But if he was mad at me for being a slow wife, he didn't let on.
Here I am getting some advice before the swim.
"When you get in the water, pretend you are a metallic wrapper," says The Lorax.
It was only about 50 degrees that morning, so I was dreading entering the water. But once I got moving, it was beautiful. The water was still and warm. And I loved my goggles. They are mirrored, so in the muddy water, I could see my google eyes reflected back at me. Scary but cool.
Here I am forgetting to start removing my wet suit as I run out of the water. Let's just say transitions aren't my forte.
And I'm finally off on the bike.
I learned the hard way that one cannot do well in the bike portion of a tri with the biking ability of an 11 year old boy. Yes, I have strength and enthusiasm, but no skill. Men and women alike sped by me. I lamented not having a tri bar like pretty much everyone else and lamented being so light (for the first time in my life). But in the end, what could I do but smile, pedal away and get as aerodynamic as possible? It's 7 miles out and 7 miles back down a straight, flat country highway (with, thankfully, a generous shoulder).
There were lots of smiles and well-wishes from other bikers on the route. People were really having fun. At the bike turn around, one guy came up behind me and said "Hey, nice job... and by the way, you have a nice body!" Ha! What could I do but say thanks? Only at an endurance sporting event could a guy get away with that.
Finally I reached the end of the bike and on to the 3.1 mile trail run.
It was such a beautiful trail! I was in heaven.
We passed off The Bois as our reverse baton and thus the event continued.
In my off time, I played with Step-Daughter, fed and changed The Bois and ate as much as seemed safe for the tummy. I also got to meet a lot of the triathletes and their families.
There was a downpour and then a rainbow that lasted less than one minute.
Step-daughter and I have become even closer now that we know she'll be moving permanently to Denmark with us starting next summer. Shortly after the rainbow, we got mother-daughter massages.
SR came in from the last triathlon 10 hours and 22 minutes after the start and we just barely lost to a team we'd been slowly catching up on since the beginning. We spent a while getting to know them after the finish, which was great fun.
We all, including step-daughter, would love to do it again next year. Sadly, there are certain things we'll be giving up by moving to Denmark.
But what is life about if not putting on your sea legs and finding new adventures?
Running song of the day was played at the Tri and, apparently, SR and I were both singing along loudly to it at different places in the park...

The owner of an Arizona gun store canceled Mark Kelly's purchase of an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle after Kelly made comments to the media that he purchased the gun to demonstrate how easy it is to obtain a firearm.
Douglas MacKinlay, owner of Diamondback Police Supply Co. in Tuscon said a full refund was sent to Kelly last Thursday.
"While I support and respect Mark Kelly's 2nd Amendment rights to purchase, possess, and use firearms in a safe and responsible manner, his recent statements to the media made it clear that his intent in purchasing the Sig Sauer M400 5.56mm rifle from us was for reasons other then for his personal use," MacKinlay said in a statement on their Facebook page obtained by NBC News.
For full U.S. news coverage, visit NBCNews.com.
Kelly, husband of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, is a gun control advocate who recently said in an interview that he wanted to demonstrate how easy it is to purchase a gun. Kelly and Giffords, who was injured in a mass shooting in Tuscon have been lobbying for background checks and restrictions on the sale of high-capacity magazines.
"It's important for me to have firsthand knowledge about how easy it is or difficult it is, you know, to buy a weapon like that," he told CNN's Wolf Blitzer in an interview earlier this month.
MacKinlay said the rifle will be donated the Arizona Tactical Officers Association and raffled off to raise funds for the organization's equipment needs.
Kelly made news on Monday when he stepped in to pull a dog off of a sea lion that it attacked it killed on a beach in California. The dog belonged to Kelly's daughter.

Some fantasy football leagues have toilet -- or consolation -- bowls to keep losers engaged when it's clear their teams are no longer in contention. In New Jersey, one group goes a step further.
For the last two years, the loser of a league comprised mostly of pizzeria owners in Ocean County has had to walk down a highway wearing just a pair of bright pink bikini bottoms and holding a sign that reads "I suck at Fantasy Football."
Angelo Boemio, 42, made the bikini walk of shame this Labor Day, trotting along Route 9 in Toms River for 10 minutes as drivers beeped and paused to take photos, he told The New York Post.
"One lady with four kids in her minivan drove back and forth five times while her kids laughed in the back," Boemio told the paper.
He said residents called local police to report a disturbance.
"People were calling to say there's some weirdo in a bikini walking down Route 9, but the officers knew it was a product of fantasy loss, so they let us have our walk of shame," Boemio told the Post.
The league holds its draft on Labor Day, so whoever finishes last the prior year has all those months between the end of the season and September to build up dread -- or get into shape, as the loser before Boemio did.
"Now the league is no longer about winning," Boemio said. "It's just about not coming in last place. No one wants to be mortified."

Learn more about the Toyota Tacoma: Toyota Tacoma Reviews, Pricing, Specs and more »
When trying to decide what the best used Toyota Tacoma for you is, there are several key factors to look at: the Tacoma generations, engine size and cab size.
Toyota Tacoma Generations: what you need to know before you buy used.
Tacoma Engines: 4 or 6 cylinder?
Unlike some other trucks in its class, the Toyota Tacoma has only two engine sizes: a 4-cylinder & a 6-cylinder.
If gas mileage is important to you, the 4 is the way to go. However, on the larger sized models the smaller engine makes the truck feel slow and sluggish. So if you're looking for a more fun drive, be sure to pick up the V-6 engine. Be warned that it is more expensive however and can increase the vehicle cost by several thousand in some cases.
Tacoma Cab Size: Regular, Access or Double?
Since 2001, the Tacoma has had three cab sizes to choose from: regular, access and double. Prior to 2001, only the regular and access cabs were available.
The regular cab option for the Tacoma generally has a bench seat in the front. The max passengers it can carry are 2 (plus the driver).
Both the access and double cabs can hold four persons, with the double cab providing extra doors and a roomier back seat. This is definitely the way to go if you plan on having more than one passenger in your truck on a regular basis – especially for the older generation where the back seat is fairly cramped with the smaller frame.
Used Toyota Camry Pricing: how to know you're getting a good deal?
One of the most difficult to understand aspects of buying a used car is if you are getting a good deal or not. To help with that, CarsDirect has helpful pricing graphs over in our car buying section. Simply select the year you are looking for and go to the Prices & Deals page. Here you can see inventory by model year, price by model year and more.
Quick Price Research links: 2002 Toyota Tacoma Prices, 2005 Toyota Tacoma Prices, 2008 Toyota Tacoma Prices, 2011 Toyota Tacoma Prices
Of note, the average Tacoma price drops nearly $2,500 when looking at a 2004 model vs 2005 – the year the generation switched. So if you're looking to save some dough and don't mind the smaller model (or even prefer it) and a little extra mileage, this might be the way to go.
Additionally the Used Toyota Tacoma's hold their market value incredibly well. Take for example the 2000 Tacoma – the original base MSRP for a V6 PreRunner was $17,968. 13 years later, the same car is still reselling at Dealer Retail for $8,200.Show More »

¡Viva La Mexico! Or What I Learned on Spring Break
"Don't drink the water." "Don't rent a car." "Don't go out at night." "Don't eat from street carts." "Don't put anything valuable in your luggage." And so the list went on and on-from family and friends to colleagues and strangers following me on social media - warning me at all costs to avoid Mexico. It was as if an itinerary of two relaxing weeks exploring the Mayan Riviera was equivalent to donning a leisure suit with printed Tom of Finland images to travel in Pakistan.
I went anyway. And I am here to report that, not only am I safeand sound, but also I'm glad I didn't listen to the naysayers. I took it all in and learned a few valuable travel (and life) lessons along the way.
Rescue & Respite in Cancun
By Road
Mexico's easternmost gulf coast is easy to traverse via Highway 307 (in a rented car, if you dare the uneven roads). Cancun's trendy Hotel Zone, Playa del Carmen's shopping district, and Tulum's Mayan ruins and hippy beachfront each capture a unique aspect of Mexico's cultural heritage. The destinations are all within a three hours' drive, in spite of the many topes - massive speed bumps installed to apparently assist los federales in thwarting the drug cartels.
My Mexican adventure kicked off within moments of nestling under a beach palapa at the JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa. The property is at the epicenter of the Hotel Zone, a 14-mile peninsula that targets travelers who revel in pristine beachfront and luxury amenities.
No sooner had I gulped down my first Mai Tai when I heard an older gentleman screaming "Hey! Hey! They need help out there!" Following the direction of his trembling hand, I saw three heads bobbing in the distance, periodically swallowed up by the crashing waves of the Caribbean Sea. The overconfident vacationers had swum too far from shore, ignoring the red warning flags, and now the forceful current was keeping them at bay.
Tanned from the ever-blazing sun but not quite as lithe as I would have preferred if I was drowning, the lifeguards dove into the rough waters, donned flippers, and pulled the vacationers to safety as easy as if they were netting spiny lobsters for a beach cook off. And that was that.
The lifeguards trudged back to their posts. The rescued swimmers, swarmed by their hysterical bikini-clad girlfriends, hunched over themselves and gasped for air. I half expected Ricardo Montalbán to emerge from behind a palm tree with some heavy-handed repartee about the power of the ocean and wrath of the Mayan Gods. That didn't happen, so I ordered another cocktail.
Beachfront Luxury at the JW Marriott
In spite of the almost-death experience of my fellow beachcombers, the JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa proved the perfect respite for my time in Cancun. The 448-room property features a sleek yet warm contemporary design, two free form pools, a Mayan-inspired spa and six on-site specialty restaurants. Luxurious but without the attitude, the hotel staff didn't miss a beat.
Chris Calabrese, Vice President and General Manager of the Marriott's Cancun properties, says, "Cancun offers an incredible range of activities that appeal to a wide range of visitors-from swimming with whale sharks and exploring nearby Mayan ruins to ziplining, snorkeling, and eco-parks. We have water so perfectly blue it almost glows and white sandy beaches that stay cool to the touch regardless of the sun's heat. Cancun also offers truly outstanding service in general and the Mexican nationals are warm and friendly by nature."
The resort complex also includes the neighboring Marriott CasaMagna (a bit too Don Quixote for my taste but more affordable than the JW and with equally as friendly staff). Combined, the properties feature six specialty restaurants ranging from Mediterranean to Thai. "Each restaurant was built from the ground up," says Calabrese, "Chefs either originate from, or are trained in, whichever region that restaurant represents."
Feeling lazy after my long days at the beach, I took advantage of several of the on-site offerings. Dinner at Gustino was a Mediterranean feast that included pear carpaccio with red beet and fig and Caribbean lobster poached in a saffron broth that momentarily transported me to the Spanish coastline. For Asian flavors with a kick, SASI THAI is a charming outdoor enclave that dishes out authentic curries and potent cocktails, including a lychee martini that was a welcome alternative after my marathon sessions with the more prevalent tequila and rum drinks.
If you want to explore downtown, a taxi from your hotel will get you there in air-conditioned comfort or a diesel-tinged ride on the R1 or R2 bus line will also do the trick. For designer labels, head to La Gran Plaza located on Nichupte Avenue. If you are more of a bargain hunter, the outdoor markets like Mercado 28 are a vibrant part of the city's culture. Be prepared to bargain and keep a keen eye for scams and cheaply made products. If you know what you're looking for though, there is an array of pottery, leather items, pewter, clothing and other traditional Mexican goods.
Playing in Playa del Carmen
After a few decadent days sequestered at the JW, I was ready to head south for a new adventure. In 2006, Playa del Carmen was rated by the Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest growing city in the world. You can see evidence of this along Highway 307, as imposing arches and entryways give way to lush oceanfront properties, golf courses, and time shares galore.
I shacked up for a week at The Royal Haciendas, part of the Royal Resorts collection. Although this is a timeshare property, you can usually find a room online for as little as $100 per night. Of course, everything has a price. This is a family-friendly destination, and not the kind of family from the Castro or Christopher Street.
Although the staff and guests were extremely hospitable, I wouldn't necessarily feel comfortable had I been traveling with a partner. Think of it more as a destination for friends or a spring break reenactment with a ten o'clock curfew. The restaurants were surprisingly good and affordable, especially Los Murales, a contemporary Mexican restaurant with gorgeous mosaics adorning the walls and mouthwatering tableside preparations such as gulf shrimp with chiles and brandy. The two poolside bars offer a daily happy hour and whip out tacky-fabulous concoctions like chunky monkeys and rum punch.
A Night on the Town
The resort offers free shuttle service downtown during the day and a taxi at night will only cost you ten dollars. Fifth Avenue is the main drag where you'll find shopping, restaurants and nightlife. It's a great stroll and there are a number of independent boutiques, galleries and silver shops amid the "I'm in Playa del Carmen, Bitch" t-shirts.
Avoid nachos entrapment and instead head to La Cueva del Chango for an authentic Mayan meal. The open-air restaurant is a block from the ocean and the maritime breeze will cool off your palette from the array of complex salsas and sauces. Standout dishes include almond soup with chipotle, ancho chile stuffed with shrimp and pistachios, and grouper with a rich mole sauce.
There's not much gay nightlife in Playa del Carmen, but if you must, the one spot to check out is Bar 69 (located on Fifth Avenue between 4th and 6th Street). It doesn't open until 9pm and is deserted until after midnight, but you'll find an enthusiastic crowd on Friday and Saturday nights. Sometimes too enthusiastic-be cautious of prostitutes, drug dealers and pick pockets.
Magnificent Tulum
After a week at the picture-perfect grounds of the Royal Haciendas, I was ready to see something a bit more authentic. Hello, Tulum. Not quite as well known as Chichen Itza, the Maya ruins at Tulum are spectacular in their own right. El Castillo (the Cliffside tower that is the area's focal point), The Temple of the Descending God, and the Temple of the Frescoes each showcase the ingenuity of this pre-Columbian civilization.
Tulum also offers the only gay accommodations in the region, the Adonis Tulum Riviera Maya Gay Resort and Spa. Originally built as an exclusive enclave for elite travelers, the property only recently became a gay destination. The 94-room resort is tucked away on a rocky coast with lush foliage surrounding the multi-suite villas. While there is no direct ocean access, the Adonis does feature the only legal clothing-optional beachfront in the Mayan Riviera, as it sits on private property. There is also a spectacular on-site spa that offers a variety of treatments including couples massage, Vichy shower, Jacuzzi and sauna.
The hotel is still working hard to find its niche and on my visit I was one of only a handful of guests. The staff, overseen by General Manager Michell Da Void, creates warm and welcoming environment. Da Void says, "I fell in love with the property from the moment I saw it. People let their guard down here and it's so easy to socialize because of the property's layout. And we're on the power grid with back-up generators, which is no small feat in Tulum."
The resort is all-inclusive, which may or may not work in your favor depending on your expectations. The main dining room offers three menus: Mexican, Italian, and Asian. Some items are obviously freezer-to-fryer and even local fare like chilaquiles (tortillas with salsa, egg and cheese) lack flavor and flair. Cocktails are free flowing, but I stuck to draft beer (Corona or Modelo Especial) since the mixed drinks were cloyingly sweet. There are plenty of food options to explore by hopping on one of their free bikes or calling a taxi.
The Adonis has some minor kinks to work out, but Da Void's determination is evident in the meticulous care of the property. He has recently started offering day passes, so even if you decide to opt for other accommodations, it's still worth spending a day at the Adonis and supporting gay business in the region.
Fresh Catch
One of the most glaring warnings I received prior to traveling to Mexico was to avoid ceviche, the marinated raw fish dish prevalent throughout the region. Would I go to New York City and pass on a slice of pizza? Morocco without pigeon pastilla? Hardly. Ceviche was on my "must eat" list but that didn't mean that I stopped at every dingy shack with a painted sign out front. Instead I asked the locals and trusted my instincts. If a place looked less than sanitary on the outside, I didn't need to find out what was going on in the kitchen. Here are three great finds worth seeking out:
El Camello - Keep your eyes out as you drive south on Highway 307. There's no address but you'll easily pick it out on the left hand side of the road just before you hit the outskirts of town. Sit outside and enjoy an ice-cold Corona and complimentary snapper hash and then dive into a heaping portion of chopped tomatoes, octopus and shrimp with a generous squeeze of lime. $13 serves four.
Los Aguachiles (?calle 34 & avenida 25, Playa del Carmen) - is off the beaten track from the bustling Fifth Avenue district, but your short walk will be rewarded with ceviche, deconstructed style. This outdoor café's classic ceviche is presented in a shallow bowl of macerated tomatoes and topped with an architectural wonder of shrimp, crab, pickled red onion and cilantro. $12 serves two.??
Oscar & Lalo (Highway 307 at Km. 241) - Be sure to seek out this culinary oasis between Tulum and Playa del Carmen. Outdoor seating proves entertaining as a diapered pet monkey is bound to pay you a visit. If you can get over the unconventional dining companion, their ceviche is minimalist perfection. Leaving the tomatoes behind, this ceviche lets the seafood be the star. $14 serves two.
Adventures By Land & Sea
All within striking distance, the Mayan Riviera is packed with ecological adventures and natural wonders.
Xcaret - an archaeological park featuring tropical jungle trails, regional wildlife, and Xcaret Musical Espectacular, a 300-person live performance extravaganza.
Xplor - Tackle two zip line courses, amphibious 4-wheeling, underground rafting, and a stalactite river swim.
Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve - This UNESCO World Heritage site is the largest protected area in the Mexican Caribbean. These are more personalized experiences that minimize ecological impact, but still offer adventure and education.
Te Adoro, Mexico
What I loved most about Mexico was not the beach, the tequila, or the sprawling 2-hour afternoon naps under a palapa (although it's not a bad way to spend a couple of weeks, trust me). It was the people. There was an innate hospitality from everyone I met. Whether I was buying avocados from a roadside stand in Tulum or haggling for a silver bracelet on the streets of Playa del Carmen, I was greeted with a smile and left with a genuine gracias. So whatever the news may say, my Mexico was one of laughter and celebration, ancient culture and new discovery, and above all-genuine warmth stronger than the Mayan sun.

John Garvey, president of The Catholic University of America in Washington, has been writing a fair amount on the contraceptive mandate in the new health care reform law.
He wrote an op-ed piece in the May 25 edition of The Washington Post and a commentary in the June 8 edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education.
Both columns outlined why Catholic University recently joined 42 Catholic dioceses, schools, hospitals, social service agencies and other institutions in filing suit in federal court to stop three government agencies from implementing a mandate that would require them cover contraceptives and sterilization in their health plans.
Catholic organizations have objected to the contraceptive mandate since it was announced last Aug. 1 by Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Unless they meet the four criteria of a narrow religious exemption or have a grandfathered health plan, employers will be required to pay for sterilizations and contraceptives as part of their health coverage beginning as soon as Aug. 1, 2012. Religiously affiliated institutions will be given an additional year — by August 2013 — to comply with the mandate.
Garvey, writing for the Chronicle, noted that if the federal government had provided a "genuine accommodation" to Catholic organizations with the health care law, it could have attained its goals "while respecting fully the constitutionally protected rights of our universities to remain true to our founding missions: the development of intellect and the inculcation of virtue."
"Barring that, we feel compelled to seek relief from the courts," he wrote.
In the Post, Garvey said Catholic institutions that filed suit against the HHS mandate "object that the rules force them to support activities — sterilization and abortion, in addition to contraception — that they view as immoral. It's like compelling Jehovah's Witnesses to salute the flag, or Quakers to fight or Jews to eat pork."
UPDATE: Pittsburgh Bishop David A. Zubik has written a similar commentary in USA Today that appeared yesterday. He also co-wrote a June 8 column in the Pittsburgh Catholic, the diocesan newspaper, discussing the reason for the lawsuits.

Oyster Bay, New York - 13 Mar 2013
Shipments of connected automotive infotainment systems will grow from 9 million in 2013 to more than 62 million in 2018 with connected navigation, multimedia streaming, social media, and in-car Wi-Fi hotspots becoming key features.
ABI Research VP and practice director Dominique Bonte comments, "Open platforms continue their march forward. While both the GENIVI consortium (open source common automotive infotainment reference platform) and the Car Connectivity Consortium (MirrorLink screen replication technology) somewhat struggle to find momentum, the car industry is now turning its attention to HTML5 and Android with both Renault (R-Link) and Volvo (Sensus Connected Touch platform based on Parrot's Asteroid Smart) embracing (heavily) modified versions of the Android operating system."
In a similar vein, automotive applications and/or stores have become standard components of any connected automotive infotainment platform with the automotive industry finally realizing the ability to download aftermarket services and apps is a powerful way to keep systems up-to-date and relevant during the vehicle lifecycle.
On the connectivity side, 4G seems to finally have been accepted as the connectivity technology of the future, following GM's announcement to adopt AT&T's 4G technology to power next generation infotainment platforms offering navigation, in-car hotpots, and multimedia services. Clearly, carriers across the globe are keen to play a key role in the connected car and more generally the Internet of Everything revolution.
ABI Research's new "Automotive Infotainment" Market Data provides detailed forecasts of connected automotive infotainment solutions including hardware shipments and service revenue for the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and Africa & the Middle East. It is part of the Automotive Infotainment and Automotive Technologies Research Services.

Even in Alaska, Palin's popularity is taking a tumble
ANCHORAGE — Ask a governor if she'd be happy with a 68 percent approval rating and she'd probably laugh at the question. It usually doesn't get much better than that.
For Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, though, that represents a hefty drop.
Since John McCain tapped the first-term governor to be his vice-presidential running mate, Palin's sky-high home-state approval ratings have come down to Earth.
Above 80 percent approval for parts of her term — she was at 82 percent in a key local poll twice this year — Palin's popularity has swooned as new information about the local abuse-of-power investigation known as troopergate has trickled out, and as national and local media pick over her track record as a governor and small-town mayor.
Palin still has overwhelming support among Alaska Republicans. But many Democrats and independents, who gave her positive marks just a month ago, have changed their view.
"My problem is not with Sarah Palin the governor," said Ron Zandman-Zeman, 60, a recently retired schoolteacher from Anchorage. "She was doing the job she was elected to do. I don't think she can do the job she wants to be elected to do. And that's why I'm here."
"Here" was a rally in a downtown Anchorage park this past weekend, where several hundred demonstrators gathered under a brilliant blue sky to protest Palin and her attorney general, mostly for their handling of the troopergate controversy.
Until this summer, there were plenty of Alaskans who'd supported or been neutral toward their governor. Palin built a reservoir of goodwill over a handful of key issues, including prodding the state's oil industry to cough up more of its profits, which fund the vast majority of state operations.
After McCain shocked the political world by picking Palin, the rest of the country experienced a flash of infatuation with the charming, gutsy governor. But some Alaskans turned against what they saw as her newly aggressive, mean-spirited demeanor.
At the studio of KENI in Anchorage, Andrew Halcro has become a focal point for anti-Palin advocates. Halcro is a former state legislator who was beaten by Palin in the 2006 gubernatorial election. (Running as an independent, Halcro finished third behind Palin and former Gov. Tony Knowles, a Democrat).
But he's also a Republican. He has been disillusioned with Palin for, among other things, her handling of the troopergate issue. For the past month, he's been hosting a daily talk radio show.
At first, callers were defensive on Palin's and Alaska's behalf — particularly as the national media and left-wing blogs published information about the governor's family and questioned her record in office.
"It was uncomfortable to even talk about a story in the morning paper," he said. "People would say, 'You need to move on.'"
Palin had done a good job of governing from the center, he said. But her recent mocking of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, for example, is a surprise to many Alaskans.
"I see a real change in the callers," he said. "People are seeing Gov. Palin in a different light."
Zandman-Zeman, for example, said he had respected McCain in the past, until the Republican presidential nominee changed his approach to appease more conservative elements of his party. Zandman-Zeman also had come around on Palin during her time as governor (he supported somebody else in the 2006 election), and he might've supported her for re-election in Alaska.
But he still considers her out of her league on the national scene. On Saturday, he held a sign near a street corner as cars whizzed by, drivers honking in support of the demonstrators.
His sign read: "Palin — A Good Gov in Way Over Her Head."
While many demonstrators objected to Palin on partisan or ideological grounds, two issues that clearly rankled Alaskans had nothing to do with party loyalty: openness and independence.
Ivan Moore, a local pollster who works with both Democrats and Republicans, recently found that Palin's support had slipped to 68 percent. The poll was conducted from Sept. 20 to 22 among 500 likely Alaska voters and has a margin of error of 4.4 percent.
Inside those numbers was a dramatic drop in support from Democrats and independents, although support from Republicans remained strong at 93 percent. Among Democrats, her approval rating dropped from 60 percent to 36 percent, a 24-point drop. Among independents, it fell from 82 percent to 64 percent, an 18-point drop.
Moore said those numbers were likely driven by the harsher tone Palin has adopted on the national campaign trail, as well as the fallout from troopergate.
Palin's lost many supporters because she's worked to thwart a bipartisan inquiry into troopergate after saying she'd cooperate. (Troopergate involves the firing of the state's public safety commissioner, who'd refused to fire a state trooper who'd been involved in a messy divorce with Palin's sister).
In addition, fiercely independent Alaskans resent moves by the McCain campaign to control what they see as purely state matters.
Sondra Tompkins, a reliably Republican voter, found herself speaking out at the rally — upset, she said, because of Palin's handling of the trooper issue and the example it sets for children in the state.
"They're listening, they're watching, and they're asking questions," Tompkins called out to the crowd. "Do we tell them it's OK not to tell the truth? Do we tell them it's OK to bend the truth? Do we tell them it's OK to distort the truth if you have a gaggle of lawyers to defend you?
"It's not OK, and I think Alaskans have had enough."
Brad Coker, managing director of Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc., said an approval rating in the 60s for a governor is good. His recent polling in six western states found two governors with approval ratings in the low-80s, two in the 60s and one in the 50s.
The sky-high ratings Palin once had are somewhat unusual, he said — but not unheard of.
"Governors in smaller states tend to have much higher performance ratings because their constituencies are smaller," he said. "They have personal contact with the voters and so there is more familiarity between them and the constituents. But 68 percent is pretty good."

Free Time? Check Out These New Fiction Titles from JCPL!
"You're so lucky; you have lots of free time. I wish I had all that extra time, like you do." This statement came from my seven year old granddaughter, one of four grandchildren that I babysit on a regular basis. She is one of four children, all ranging in age from 2 to 10. Two year olds, in their own right, are a job unto themselves, a challenge to even the younger crowd, of which I am not one.
Description of a two year old: A miniature teenager who has just discovered that they can wield power with words and use food as a weapon; a miniature person who moves at the speed of light, second only in speed to Superman, and most definitely as flexible as Spiderman, climbing everything in sight, a specialist in the "danger to themselves and everyone around them" category, which proves one thing, and that is using the terms "two year old" and "free time" (much less LOTS of it) in the same sentence is not even remotely possible.
Ambitious as it may seem, in my "free time" I like to read; and here are just a few of the titles I might choose from the new book shelves at the Jasper County Public Library in my "free time!"
Sarah Zuckerman and Jennifer Jones come from different walks of life altogether, but against the odds, the two ten year old girls form a fast friendship. The year is 1982, and the Cold War has reached its peak. Sarah and Jennifer decide to reach out to Soviet Premier Uri Andropov, begging for peace by writing letters. The Kremlin responds, but only to Jenny's letter, and Sarah is left behind when her friend accepts his invitation to visit the USSR. The breach in the girls' friendship has not yet healed, when in 1985, Jenny and her parents are killed in a plane crash. Fast forward ten years, and Sarah has moved on to graduate from college, but puts her life on hold to fly to Moscow when she receives word that Jenny may still be alive. Setting out in search of the truth, Sarah begins to dig deep into the history of the Cold War saga, discovering that it's hard to separate fact from fiction in "You Are One of Them" by Elliot Holt.
The year is 1850, the setting, Ohio. The main character, Honor Bright, is a modest, young Quaker girl who has just left her native England to live in a new land, among strangers, forced by family tragedy to relocate in the harsh, unfamiliar landscape she now calls home. Living within a religious community does little to cover up the injustice of her new surroundings, however, and Honor finds herself drawn into the secretive activities of the Underground Railroad, helping runaway slaves find freedom, eventually realizing that she must decide if it is safe for her to act on her beliefs, and what, if any, personal cost there is to herself in "The Last Runaway" by Tracy Chevalier.
Val and Karen are sisters; Karen bearing the brunt of responsibility for their ailing mother and Val free to pursue the career of her dreams in theater. Coming home has never been a consideration for Val; that is, until their mother has a stroke and she is forced back to their hometown. When the two sisters reunite, they must each come to terms with their past mistakes and their relationship. Will they be able to forgive, and let go of old hurts to move on and finally find happiness? Find out in "That Certain Summer" by Irene Hannon.
The Outer Banks of North Carolina offers refuge and solitude for Amy Lang. The death of her brother, Ben, has left her grief-stricken and searching for answers. Rosemary Cottage, a haven within the peaceful Outer Banks, has been in Amy's family for generations, and is the perfect place for her to begin the process of healing. Feeling that Ben's death was brought about by foul play, Amy seeks the help of the Coast Guard team, who are quick to dismiss her concerns, calling his death a tragic accident. Plagued by doubt, Amy turns to Coast Guard Officer, Curtis Ireland for help, but Officer Ireland carries a secret; a secret that will change Amy's world forever in "Rosemary Cottage," book number 2 in the Hope Beach Series by Colleen Coble.
Two year olds love to talk, and their vocabulary varies with "mine" and "no!" as favorites at the top of the list. Two year olds love to experiment with their newly discovered powers, pushing, pulling, touching and exploring drawers and cabinets; and two year olds, just like us old folks, love books, and since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I hope my grandson imitates me enjoying my "free time" as I read these new titles from my friends at JCPL!

What is SCALE-UP?SCALE-UP is a Student-Centered Active Learning Environment for Undergraduate Programs. Carefully designed studio classrooms facilitate student teamwork and instructor movement between groups. There is no separate lab class and most "lectures" are class-wide discussions. Instead students make observations and work on engaging problems. This approach is effective with both small and large enrollment classes. Description of SCALE-UP layout
Why adopt SCALE-UP?
SCALE-UP has benefits over traditional approaches. Students gain a deeper understanding through hands-on activities. In the process, students practice team-building and communication skills that employers and accrediting agencies value. SCALE-UP can turn a large classroom into an intimate instructional setting.
Actually understanding physics requires actually studying physics. Barriers to studying physics in a traditional large lecture class include isolation of individual students in the crowd of strangers, a competitive atmosphere and little one-on-one contact with the instructor. SCALE-UP uses techniques of cooperative learning on a large scale for class sections with enrollments of about 100. Bringing the lecture and laboratory together in this technology-rich setting promotes active group learning within consistent groups for six hours each week. The grading system requires team work so that each person in the group - even the really bright ones - benefit from working together so that everyone learns.
(Project Kaleidoscope, 2007)
Lecturing to large introductory classes in vast tiered lecture halls can be an exhilarating experience as first, but loses much of the luster as students disengage, drop the class, fail the exams and complain that they can't understand the material as the professor presents it.
Regardless of how logically and clearly challenging concepts and techniques are presented in a lecture, there will be a large fraction of students who need more active engagement with the professor and their peers in the classroom than traditional lecture can provide to succeed.
SCALE-UP can provide the desired active learning environment even in large classes and improve success rates, student achievement and satisfaction.
(Project Kaleidoscope, 2007)
How to implement SCALE-UPMultiple elements contribute to an effective SCALE-UP classroom. Design the classroom layout to facilitate team interactions, based on enrollment and space. Offer faculty professional development opportunities that focus on team management and facilitation of active learning. Help faculty create instructional modules that address course objectives and deemphasize traditional lecture/lab approaches. How to Implement SCALE-UP (tips for designing, managing, and instructing)
Who uses SCALE-UP?
Many institutions have adopted SCALE-UP.Each site adapts the approach to fit their particular needs and environment. SCALE-UP has been successfully developed for classes ranging from 27 to 117 for a variety of disciplines from the humanities to science and engineering. Google map of SCALE-UP institutions

Cruise Holidays of Edina
(952) 922-4800
Hurricane season officially runs from June 1 through November 30 – but, that's no reason to avoid cruising the Caribbean, the Mexican Riviera or Hawaii during those six months.
The chances that a hurricane will affect your cruise are small. An average hurricane season brings about eight to 11 tropical storms; of these, an average of five to seven develop into hurricanes. And, while hurricane season is officially six months long, activity usually peaks in August and September.
Perhaps most importantly, cruise ship captains and their crews are experts at avoiding storms. Rather than confront a storm, they will steer around it.
If certain ports become inaccessible due to a storm, the cruise lines will do everything they can to secure alternative ports. If that's not possible, your ship may end up spending an extra day or two at sea. In the calmer waters away from the storm, you'll be able to enjoy all of the ship's amenities – you can even book a spa treatment in lieu of a shore excursion. Note that in these circumstances, cruise lines generally don't compensate passengers for a missed port, though you might be reimbursed for unused port fees.
The possibility that a hurricane could disrupt your departure from or return to the port of embarkation is a good reason to build some extra time into the beginning and end of your cruise vacation. Plan to arrive in the port a day or two early in case of any difficulties along the way. Also, realize that weather delays could cause you to return from the cruise a day or two late, and plan accordingly. If you need to change hotel or travel arrangements on either end, call your travel professional for assistance.
The really good news about cruising during hurricane season is that cruise prices are often discounted. In addition, if you purchase trip insurance, your vacation investment can be protected from weather-related delays and disruptions.
For more information about the considerations of cruising during hurricane season, talk with your travel professional.

A Brief History of Science: As Seen Through the Development of Scientific Instruments
Constable, 2001 - 425 من الصفحات
From the beginnings of history, with gnomons and sundials, through to the twenty-first century and the 26-kilometre underground particle accelerator, the author describes the way that the design and production of scientific instruments has extended the frontiers of science.
Man's desire to understand the universe has led to the making of more and more sophisticated instruments - first to record and measure (Arab numerals, standardised measures), to examine ever more minutely (the microscope, the lens, the prism), on through electromagnets, cathode tubes, thermometers, vacuum pumps, X-rays, counters and accelerators, semi-conductors and microprocessors, down to new instruments now being designed to observe matter at zero temperatures - presenting immense technological problems in the requirement for instruments that can operate in conditions where normal properties no longer hold.

Subscribe To Weekend Box Office: Michael Jackson Crowned Prince of Halloween Updates
I've already subscribed
Michael Jackson's posthumous film-concert experience This Is It sent audiences racing to the box office handing over more than $100 million world-wide. That's the biggest international draw for a musical concert movie, though when counting only US ticket sales Jackson's release ended up playing second fiddle to Miley Cyrus' Hannah Montana release last year.
US audiences only accounted for $21 million of This Is It's take over the weekend, adding on to the impressive $7 million the movie banked on its Wednesday opening. It took the number one spot handily, squashing out the more traditional Halloween fare, most of which floundered miserably.
Saw VI plummeted a painful 60% from last weekend, continuing its trend of being the least financially successful Saw flick to date. With only $22 million so far in domestic sales, it's still crushing its insignificant $11 million budget, begging the question of whether the apparent waning audience interest will even phase Lions Gate as it considers how long to draw out Jigsaw's already paper thin plotline.
The $15,000 miracle that is Paranormal Activity continued its climb towards the $100 million mark. Falling to second place this week it added another $16 million to its already staggering $84 million haul. Meanwhile Where The Wild Things Are slipped hard from third to sixth place, so far still $40 million shy of matching its $100 million budget.
Fox Searchlight cut Amelia a break and expanded the film's release to just over 1,000 screens. That was enough to push it into the top ten, though just barely. At number nine it still only earned $3 million which was 24% less than what it took in last weekend. With less than $10 million in the bank so far against its $40 million budget, it looks doomed to follow in the footsteps of its heroine by falling short of its goal.
For the full weekend top ten check out the chart below.

If you're in Los Angeles, come hang with us at a cemetery this October. For real! It's how we're kicking off MaxFunWeek. Find details and ticket information here for our upcoming live show on 10/15 at Hollywood Forever's Masonic Lodge.
Star Trek: The Original Series broke ground with its debut in 1966. The show had a multiethnic cast, and creator Gene Roddenberry tackled social issues in a futuristic setting. George Takei was an original castmember, and helped paved the way for Asian-American actors on television with his character Hikaru Sulu.
Takei went on to reprise his role in the animated Star Trek series and six Star Trek movies. He's also accumulated dozens of other acting and voiceover credits, from the 1956 Japanese monster movie Rodan, to The Simpsons, to Heroes.
But the new documentary To Be Takei goes beyond his acting career to show Takei's remarkable backstory and his positivity in the face of adversity. Before he even began kindergarten, he and his family were ordered at gunpoint to a U.S. internment camp for Japanese-Americans. In puberty, he realized that his emerging crushes were on boys, not girls. Takei chose to remain closeted for decades, to shelter his acting career from any fallout over his sexuality.
Takei spoke to us about his family's struggle to retain normalcy during and after their imprisonment in an American internment camp, starring in the Twilight Zone episode that America couldn't handle, and the impact that being gay has had on his personal and professional life. (Yes, there's a Star Trek question in there too.)
To Be Takei is now in theaters and available on VOD.

Los Angeles Times book critic Carolyn Kellogg stops by to talk about two innovative new books that should satisfy your need for thrills and chills, or noir-ish detectives and dames.
Her first recommendation is Broken Monsters, by Lauren Beukes, a supernatural detective story set in present-day Detroit.
She also suggests checking out Kill My Mother, by acclaimed cartoonist and writer Jules Feiffer. It's a graphic novel which gives a new twist on noir.
Carolyn Kellogg covers books for the Los Angeles Times. You can find her writing online in the Times' book blog, Jacket Copy or follow her on Twitter @paperhaus.

What happens when a hardcore band makes a rock opera, or quadruple tracks their drums, or writes a beautiful love song? Damian Abraham's band, ****ed Up, has done all of that and more. They started back in 2001, and have only gotten more ambitious over time.
Abraham, also known as Father Damian or Pink Eyes, got his first taste of punk rock as a fourteen-year-old, when the lead singer of the band he was seeing jumped off stage and tackled him and his friends. Abraham loved that punk wasn't "music by observation", it was "music by participation".
He talks to us about what it's like to have punk rock be your life and career, the circumstances that spurred his decision to drop his straightedge lifestyle, and the aesthetics of his music.
****ed Up's newest album is Glass Boys. The band will wrap up a string of U.S. tourdates shortly, and will tour Canada in September.
