THOMAS: 50 years later, Vietnam looks very different
HANOI, Vietnam — It has been 50 years since President John F. Kennedy ordered U.S. "advisers" to South Vietnam to help battle the communist North, and 37 years since the end of that divisive war and the country's unification under communism.
Today, Vietnam is fighting a war with itself.
A local TV program reminds a visitor of Chinese propaganda "operas" circa 1970. Performers, some wearing military garb with a backdrop of missiles and an American B-52 bomber going down in flames, commemorate the 1972 Christmas bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong ordered by President Richard Nixon. Banners and posters in the streets reinforce the government's history lesson.
Younger people, who substantially outnumber the old guard, seem mostly indifferent to these messages, because few lived through the war. An American official tells me just 4 percent of the population belongs to the Communist Party.
While there are large pockets of poverty between and even within major cities such as Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and Hanoi, prosperity is making inroads. The 1-year-old Da Nang airport is more modern than some U.S. airports. Luxury hotels, clothing stores and restaurants abound. While many cater to foreign travelers, many locals wear stylish Western clothes and transport themselves on motorbikes and in cars. Twenty years ago, the primary mode of transportation was the bicycle.
Vietnam eagerly wants to conclude a trade agreement with the United States known as TPP. Among other things, it would allow for more capital investment here and more Vietnamese goods to be sold in the United States. Deputy Foreign Minister Nguyen Phuong Nga tells me that since normalization of relations in 1995, the United States has become the "eighth-biggest foreign investor in Vietnam," totaling $10 billion.
U.S. officials say human rights issues, including more religious freedom, are holding up American approval of the new trade deal. I asked Madame Nga about this and the recent sentencing of three bloggers to between four and 12 years in prison for criticizing the government.
She deflects the question by noting press criticism of government corruption (true) and claims people have freedom of speech so long as they do not cause "harm," a word open to interpretation in a one-party state.
Vietnam recently opened two new areas to exploration for the bodies of American soldiers missing in action. Madame Nga says Vietnam has "actively worked with and supported the United States in finding the MIAs during the last 20 years," but notes that on the Vietnamese side "about 3 million MIAs remain to be found." She also says "there are more than 3 million Vietnamese known as victims of Agent Orange ... while thousands of hectares of land are contaminated with dioxin." She adds her appreciation for money provided by Congress to help victims and clean land, but she says more is needed.
As in many other one-party states, the Internet remains a powerful counterforce to managed information. The U.S. Embassy provides, and the government mostly allows, an information center where students and others can log onto iPads and search for information that is often counter to the government line. Continued...
The old guard remains suspicious about American objectives, seeing economic and political liberalization as a strategy to achieve among the Vietnamese people what America failed to in pursuing their "hearts and minds" in the war.
Professor Carlyle A. Thayer of the University of New South Wales, an expert on Vietnam, said recently, "Vietnam is motivated to keep the United States engaged in Southeast Asia, and the South China Sea in particular, as a balance to China," which claims some territorial rights in conflict with Vietnam and is a formidable economic and military power on its northern border.
Vietnam is in transition, and it is unrealistic to expect too much progress too quickly. Considering where it was when the United States left in 1975, the country appears to be inching in a positive direction. Those Americans who died here left behind the seeds of democracy, capitalism and a desire for prosperity and freedom. Whatever one's view of that war, it can be said they did not die in vain.

This 12" x 12" Doodling Template from The Crafter's Workshop is perfect for card making, doodling, tracing, stenciling, quilting, spon... Full Description & Details.
This was not what I thought it was going to be. I thought this was going to be legit chicken wire, but when I received it, it was plastic and clear. I'm sure it works great for whatever its really meant to be. Doodling, I guess? I don't know. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ACTUAL CHICKEN WIRE, THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT PRODUCT. I still gave 5 stars because well it was my fault that I bought the wrong type of product. :)
I love The Crafter's Workshop templates! I am an art journaler and these are all the rage right now for creating backgrounds and layers. The Chiken Wire is one of my favorites because it does not have a frame.
This is one of my new FAVE Templates!!!! just love the Chicken Wire design....love the multi-ways of using these stencils....masking, misting, painting, stipling, outlining, gotta love a versatile tool!!!!
I am in love with stencils and the ones I have ordered from scrapbook.com arrive quickly and the quality is great. I've had a blast creating with my stencil! Prices are fantastic too.
This is a great product - I purchased a few of 'The Crafter's Workshop' templates and they are fantastic.

Husband and wife co-author new book that explores the origins of Saratoga National Historical Park, where they met (WITH VIDEO)
SARATOGA SPRINGS — A rule of thumb for authors is write what you know about.
Tim Holmes and Libby Smith-Holmes had no trouble choosing a topic — Saratoga National Historical Park — because that's where the husband-and-wife team first met.
Reams have been written about the 1777 battles that historians call the turning point of the American Revolution. However, the Holmeses' new book, "Saratoga: America's Battlefield," is the first one to explore the origins of today's park and its historical context.
"We worked in different parts of the house and emailed versions to each other," Libby said, smiling.
The end product is a 184-page work that thoroughly explains the park's development while setting the stage for the conflicts that took place there, starting with the French & Indian War when Britain and France struggled for control of North America in the 1750s.
"If we don't preserve our knowledge about how this country came to be, we might lose it," Tim said. "If we don't save our past, how can we plan our future?"
Libby's late husband, Zimri Smith, founded Friends of Saratoga Battlefield. The Zim Smith Trail from Ballston Spa to Halfmoon that was named for him was recently designated a national recreation trail.
In 1999 Libby took part in a "March for Parks" event to raise money for battlefield projects and met Tim, who recently concluded a three-year term as Friends of Saratoga Battlefield president and is still on its board.
Two years later, they were married. Continued...
In 2008, with Libby's help, Tim wrote "Saratoga Springs: A Brief History," in conjunction with Saratoga Springs History Museum's 125th anniversary. Their new book coincides with the historical park's 75th anniversary in 2013.
Efforts to commemorate the Battles of Saratoga first began to take shape in the 1850s. However, there wasn't a state park until 1927, and Congress officially granted it national park status in 1938.
The Holmeses pay tribute to leading figures who paved the way for the park's creation, such as Ellen Hardin Walworth of Saratoga Springs, founder of Daughters of the American Revolution, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In the late 19th century, Walworth encouraged Spa City visitors to take carriage rides through the country to see the battlefield and had stone markers erected to show them the way.
Roosevelt took a serious interest in the site while still governor of New York and it continued after he became president. In fact, a personal visit he made resulted in the location of today's Visitors Center.
On Oct. 7, 1940, the park superintendent got a surprise telegram that President Roosevelt was on his way. Because of his polio FDR couldn't walk far, so a team of Civilian Conservation Corps workers quickly sprang into action and built a fine gravel road in four hours, just in time for FDR's big touring car to sweep up the hill accompanied by his motorcade.
That same driveway is now used as the handicapped entrance to the Visitors Center.
Other markers came to be at a much slower pace. For example, plans for Saratoga Monument were first discussed in 1856, but the monument wasn't built until 1912.
Tim and Libby not only tell about the battlefield's evolution, but explain changes in the way history is told, too. In the 19th century, most historians only focused on great people and great events, quite often in somewhat worshipful tones.
Modern scholars tend to be much more analytical, skeptical and don't write about isolated events, but rather put them in their broader historical context. Continued...
The book also presents other nearby points of interest, such as the Surrender Site, where British Gen. John Burgoyne's army laid down its weapons in Old Saratoga (Schuylerville). In this way, "Saratoga: America's Battlefield" is a good reference for park researchers and visitors.
"West Pointers come up here to the battlefield to learn lessons today," Tim said. "It's importance endures."
Published by The History Press, "Saratoga: America's Battlefield" ($19.99) is available at Barnes & Noble, Lyrical Ballad and Saratoga Springs History Museum (Canfield Casino, Congress Park). Signed copies are available at Saratoga National Historical Park's Visitors Center.

Maj. Nidal Hasan's attorneys previously said he was ready to plead guilty to the 13 counts of premeditated murder he faces in the worst mass shooting on a U.S. military installation, but Army rules prohibit a judge from accepting a guilty plea to charges that carry the death penalty.
Defense attorneys then asked that Hasan be allowed to plead guilty to 13 counts of unpremeditated murder, which does not carry the death penalty.
No guilty pleas would have stopped his murder trial or possibility of being sentenced to death.
But the judge, Col. Tara Osborn, ruled Hasan cannot plead guilty to those lesser charges or the 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder that he also faces. He still would have been tried on the premeditated murder charges, so pleading guilty to the attempted premeditated murder charges could have been used against him at trial, Osborn said.
She also said he would not be allowed to plead guilty to unpremeditated murder and unpremeditated attempted murder, because that "would be the functional equivalent of pleading guilty to a capital offense." A capital offense is a charge that carries the death penalty.
Hasan's court-martial is to start with jury selection May 29 and with testimony July 1 on the Texas Army post.
Some military law experts
After hearing several hours of testimony Wednesday, Osborn also said she would consider whether to allow a terrorism consultant to testify at the trial. Prosecutors said Evan Kohlmann's testimony and report on Hasan would show motive. But defense attorneys said Hasan isn't charged with terrorism, so Kohlmann's testimony would be prejudicial to the military jury.

Cincinnati: One Year After the Storm
By: Liz Hogan
Updated: December 31, 2012
After a massive tornado devastated the town, 15-year-old Tyler Sisemore grew up quickly.
"I've always been a working person but yeah, it made me speed my life up a little bit more," he says.
We last talked to Tyler back in January, just days after the storm had torn his house apart and put his father in the hospital.
"Worried about what we're going to do for a house you know? I just really don't know."
Now, 12 months later, Tyler's future is still uncertain.
He's living in a borrowed camper and says his father's hospital bills have forced them to file for bankruptcy.
"Mentally he's still recovering because it's pretty hard to recover from something like that when you lose everything you really have," Tyler says of his father.
December 31, 2010 is a date forever etched into the history of the Cincinnati community.
"Everything's before or after the tornado you know," says volunteer firefighter and longtime Cincinnati resident John Randolph.
Randolph helped rebuild the town's devastated fire station.
"Myself, my brother-in-law over there and my neighbor, we worked on the fire station off and on all summer long."
While the fire station and a few homes are standing once again, scars from the storm still show.
The foundation where Buck and Mamie Wilson's home was sits silent.
Both lost their lives in the tornado.
"Made your stomach turn when you looked outside you know, wasn't ever the same, probably won't ever be the same," Tyler says.
With a new year on the horizon, folks here are moving on, but not forgetting the past.
"Everything's for a reason I think. You wouldn't be what you are if you didn't have your experiences behind you," Randolph says.
And this community has had enough experiences in just one year, to last a lifetime.

Designed for use with coffee makers, Durgol Express Descaler will safely remove build-up from hard water that can alter the taste of your coffee. This fast-acting, food-safe decalcifier rinses clean, ensuring there will be no residue left behind to change the taste or aroma of your freshly brewed coffee. Please consult your coffee maker's user's manual for descaling instructions specific to your machine.
The quality of water is extremely important when you are brewing espresso and other coffee roasts. Chlorine, minerals and other odors can dramatically affect the taste of your coffee. Having a household water filtration system would be optimal for filtering out these impurities, but not all of us have them. Here at Whole Latte Love we are constantly trying to educate our customers on the importance of maintaining their equipment by using the proper water filters for their machines, such as Aqua Prima Water Filters for Gaggia machines or Clearyl Water Filters and Claris Water Filters for Jura Capresso machines.
But, if for some reason you are caught off guard and don't have a filter on hand, don't panic, there are several things that you can do to improve the quality of your tap water before it goes into your coffee maker or espresso machine.
If you have high mineral contents in your water, you can reduce it with the help of your hot water heater. They tend to heat minerals out of your water supply. When the cold water flows into the tank and comes in contact with the heat source, the minerals separate and form a layer at the bottom of the tank called precipitated mineral deposits. So, if you draw hot water from your tap and allow it to cool to room temperature before pouring it into your machine's reservoir, you will be refilling with water that has fewer minerals. Also, by letting the water sit for a few hours, it will help the odors, like chlorine, dissipate even more.
Of course doing all of this is fine, but you still have to follow a regimented schedule of cleaning and descaling your machine with a product like Urnex Cleancaf or Durgol Swiss Espresso Descaler in order to keep your machine limescale and calcium free.
Have you tested your water supply to see how high your mineral content is?
How often do you change your water filters and descale your equipment?

PAT CAPUTO: Naming names (and beyond just first round) Lions should consider in NFL Draft WITH VIDEO
The NFL Draft, particularly as the annual process begins, is often broken down into buzzwords and flavor-of-the-day names.
It's all about the first round in February. By the time the event actually occurs in April, the tone changes.
The first round is just the beginning. It is the later rounds that make or break drafts.
Two years ago, for example, Colin Kaepernick was just some obscure quarterback from the University of Nevada. Today, as he prepares for Sunday's Super Bowl, he is football's latest sensation. He was a second-round selection. 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh is getting a lot of kudos for his decision to play Kaepernick. How about the one to take him 36th overall in the draft?
There was much hype about Robert Griffin III this season - and justifiably so. He more than lived up to being selected second overall in the draft. But Griffin III won the Heisman Trophy. He was a known commodity. The real gem of the Redskins' draft, and as much a reason they made the playoffs and essentially saved head coach Mike Shanahan's job: Running back Alfred Morris. He rushed for more than 1,600 yards and 13 touchdowns after being drafted in the sixth round.
Michigan State fans probably don't remember Morris, but they probably should. He played college football at Florida Atlantic, and faced the Spartans in 2010 at Ford Field. State held him to 54 yards on 20 carries. The star running back that day: MSU's Edwin Baker. He had 183 yards. A seventh-round pick in the same draft, he spent most of the season on the San Diego Chargers' practice squad.
It's not a mistake the Redskins "found" Morris. The best teams consistently "find" those type of players in the late rounds. The Lions traditionally have not. It's one of the reasons they've struggled, although there is some reasonable hope for late-round picks Willie Young, a defensive end, and Jonte Green, a cornerback, from recent drafts.
There is an assortment of great options for the Lions with their first selection, which will be fifth overall. This is the deepest draft I can remember with edge passing rushing linebackers/defensive ends hybrids, which perfectly fits a Lions' glaring need for two reasons:
1. Edge pass rushers garner sacks and force quarterbacks into ill-advised, hurried throws, which often result in interceptions. The Lions forced half the turnovers in 2012 (17) when they were 4-12 compared to 2011 (34) when they were 10-6. Continued...
2. Top edge pass rushers make a bad secondary average, and an average secondary solid
The Lions have several options here. All of them are excellent ones: Demontre Moore (Texas A&M), Jarvis Jones (Georgia), Barkevious Mingo (LSU) and Bjorn Werner (Florida State). In my opinion, Mingo has the highest upside and will be the best NFL player, but these are all exceptionally gifted athletes. Based on their needs and the way the draft board stacks up, if the Lions don't draft one of the above-mentioned four players, they will be going off in another puzzling direction.
Other needs can be filled in the later rounds - receiver, for example. The Lions will likely be active in the free agent market seeking a quality receiver to compliment Calvin Johnson. This draft has interesting possibilities, though. Terrance Williams from Baylor was the most impressive during the Senior Bowl workouts. He has a lot of size, very good speed and was an extremely productive college player. Quinton Patton from Louisana Tech and Aaron Dobson from Marshall are a couple other receivers with high ceilings, who could help the Lions, and won't be taken in the opening round. Both are bigger receivers. Markus Wheaton from Oregon State will play in the league for awhile. He showed well in the actual Senior Bowl game, and put up big numbers last season despite inconsistent play at quarterback for his team.
Running backs have been disproportionally devalued in recent drafts, and if the Lions are sold on Mikel Leshourse, they probably shouldn't be because he lacks explosiveness.
Good backs will slide, again, to late in the draft. I see a productive NFL back from Florida in Mike Gillislee. There were some good backs at the Senior Bowl. I thought he was the best one.
It's not a coincidence the Lions have struggled offensively since speedy Jahvid Best went out. Gillislee is also a good receiver, and was Florida's best offensive player this year. It looks like he has a knack for picking his way though holes and a decent size-speed equation.
Last year, there were a couple first-round safeties in Mark Barron and Harrison Smith. The Lions could have used either. This year's draft deep is at safety, although not as top heavy. If Kenny Vaccaro from Texas falls to the Lions in the second round, they'd be wise to take him. He is an excellent player.
Later in the draft, Jonathan Cyprien from Florida International is a safety to consider. He was the best safety at the Senior Bowl.
As for cornerbacks, I think Desmond Trufant from Washington is going to be a better NFL player than the more highly-rated Dee Milliner from Alabama. But at fifth overall, he wouldn't be a good pick. I don't see him falling into the second round considering how overvalued cornerbacks are, especially after Trufant performed so admirably during Senior Bowl workouts.
A corner who will likely be a value pick later in the draft is Blidi Wreh-Wilson from Connecticut. Continued...
A player I think is going to be a very good NFL performer, and I don't believe he will be taken in the first round, is Rutgers' outside linebacker is Khaseem Greene. He is a traditional outside linebacker, not an edge rusher. He is a solid player, a converted safety with much tackling range.

JPD Calls for Service Drop in 2012
By: Gretchen Bolander
Updated: January 18, 2013
JOPLIN, MO-- Joplin police see a drop in calls for service last year. They logged 84,020 calls in 2012... a much lower total than in 2011. J.P.D. topped 90,000 calls that year, nearly seven percent higher. Joplin officers point out that the tornado hit in 2011 ... which could account for much of the difference. But the 2012 total is still lower than even the years leading up to that - with 88,000 in 2010 and 87,000 in 2009.
Joplin isn't alone in the decrease. Webb City Police also saw a significant drop in calls for service... while in Carthage, those numbers grew last year.

Tours in Glens Falls
Recommended Tours by Groupon Customers
History books chronicle the happenings of politicians and leaders of a country, state, or city, but a folklorist shares the stories and lives of the people who made a community what it is. In the Ghosts & Legends tours—a series of tales about the local and infamous—Randy Felts weaves a blend of south Texas history and tall tales that date back up to 500 years. Randy loves a good ghost story, but what he loves even more is sharing a good ghost story. As a USA Today writer puts it, "Felts likes to emphasize history, culture and drama rather than ghost hunting," which is further exemplified by his lack of paranormal investigative equipment on each nightly tour.
The adventurous tour guides at GO Mountain Biking! lead scenic nature-gazing rides for all skill levels as well as harrowing jaunts through rocky terrain for more experienced riders. Each client takes part in a phone interview before the tour to schedule a time and devise a game plan. Tours begin with a review of safety and technique before guests venture out into the wilderness of the Glens Falls area to enjoy the lush landscape, scope out resident wildlife, and gulp fresh, clean air without having to suck from a balloon inflated by Mother Nature.
