TERRE HAUTE — For people who like their political contests clear-cut and their candidates one-dimensional, Lee Hamilton's endorsement of Barack Obama for president barely registered this past week.
After all, if you're content to dismiss Obama as a gifted speaker but "an empty suit," what do you care that the former Indiana Congressman chaired the House committees on both foreign affairs and security?
If you get a giggle out of referring to Obama by his middle name (Hussein), how much can it matter that Hamilton also chaired the 9/11 Commission, was co-vice-chair of the Iraq Study Group, and currently serves on the President's Homeland Security Advisory Council?
If, on the other hand, you are someone who believes that people and presidential campaigns are infinitely complex, Hamilton's stated choice for commander in chief was a grabber.
During his 34 years in the House of Representatives, Hamilton gained bipartisan respect as a deep, careful and open-minded expert on global affairs and the U.S. role in those affairs. Just two-weeks shy of his 77th birthday (April 20), he has filled his retirement with serving on the two commissions, the Homeland Security council, as a consultant to the CIA and with running the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. — among other jobs.
According to a story last month in The New Republic by senior editor Noam Scheiber, Hamilton has been a kind of off-stage, informal guru for Obama's foreign policy advisers since day one of the campaign.
Obama's foreign policy speech writer is Ben Rhodes, who assisted in writing Hamilton's 9/11 Commission memoirs and "key chunks" of the Iraq Study Group Report. Three other former Hamilton aides — Denis McDonough, Dan Shapiro, Dan Restrepo — occupy significant spots on Obama's foreign policy staff.
Even Obama advisers who served in the Clinton administration tend to subscribe more to a Hamiltonian philosophy than that of their former boss or any other high-profile political figure.
To Scheiber, "Hamilton is the kind of pragmatic, non-ideological foreign policy eminence who can flirt with heterodoxy without losing respectability."
In other words, he is so experienced, even-keeled and devoid of the compulsion to enforce a rigid view of the world on others, he can credibly support the invasion of Bosnia, oppose the Iraq War and recommend — before Obama ever suggested it — that talks with dictators such as Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad should not be excluded from serious efforts at peace.
Last week, Hamilton spent much of the day of his endorsement returning calls from the news media and from undecided Democratic superdelegates who will bestow their precious votes on Obama or Hillary Clinton.
During our telephone conversation, Hamilton reiterated his reasons for green-lighting Obama despite the existence of two other "fine candidates for president." He also discussed the "very dangerous array" of challenges the next president will face.
"There's Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, the re-emergence of Russia, and Pakistan — it's a very difficult country for us now, Pakistan, because of the new leadership. There is radical Islam and how to deal with [resultant] terrorism, the rise of China and India. And there are always the crises that emerge in areas like poverty, disease, climate change and globalization … It's a formidable agenda that will confront the next president," he said.
Obama's apparent desire — and ability — to bring disparate factions together, domestically and globally, make him the best-equipped person to tackle that agenda, Hamilton said.
"The beginning point for me is, what kind of leadership does the country need at this juncture? … It's a pretty evenly divided country with a high degree of partisanship, which makes it very difficult to get things done. The greatest skill is the ability to bring people together and to build consensus."
Obama, Hamilton said, "does not, in his rhetoric, exacerbate the division in this country. He genuinely seems interested in the common good … I'm impressed that he's changing the contours of the American political process."
That change is precisely the antidote the Capitol Hill veteran believes is necessary, given so many years of poisonous relations in Washington.
"We have a government that's been governing by division, by attacking and exacerbating the differences rather than trying to transcend them," Hamilton said.
"The big question today in politics is, 'What happened to the center?' Our politics have become more extreme, more bipartisan."
Even if the new president enjoys a majority in Congress, it won't be a large one, Hamilton warned: "It's always possible you can ram through a vote, 51-49, in the Senate, and 51 to 49 percent in the House, but you don't really get a solution that way with our politics."
Hamilton's experience with the Iraq Study Group, he said, was a pointed reminder of the ways partisan politics once did, and can, work.
"The trick here is to consult and to talk and talk and talk and talk," he said. "There were 10 of us … five Democrats and five Republicans. [Chairman] Jim Baker insisted we get to know each other first. The first few times we met were entirely social."
That tone created an atmosphere of trust and cooperation.
"It becomes easier to reach a consensus when you approach one another with candor and civility," Hamilton said. "I'm not saying 'easy,' but easier."
Of all the items in the "very dangerous array" awaiting the next president, none is more important to Hamilton than U.S. policy on nuclear proliferation: "I think it's the most consequential issue, not the most likely perhaps, but the most consequential."
While nuclear arms controls have worked "pretty well over the decades," producing fewer nations with weapons than was predicted 50 years ago, nuclear technology has continued to spread, including to non-nation entities.
"I'm not suggesting it's easy to make a bomb, but it isn't as hard as it was a few decades ago," Hamilton said. Meanwhile, "the treaties are breaking down. A lot of nations now are thinking about making a bomb, maybe they are making one … I'm very worried about that."
Sooner or later, a nuclear weapon "is going to get into the hands of a bad guy." As the 9/11 commissioners emphasized in their report, Hamilton said, "If a bomb goes off in the middle of Manhattan, it will kill 500,000 people. That's not the injured, that's killed."
Hamilton is so intent on this issue, he is "joining the effort to try to build support for abolishing nuclear weapons."
That effort was articulated last year in a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece, written by Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, William Perry and Sam Nunn, Hamilton said. Like them, he believes, "In the final analysis, that's the only way we are going to reduce terror."
Given his 34 years in Congress, and that he has seen enough classified security documents to keep a sane person awake at night, it is heartening to hear Hamilton express hope for political change. Even people who believe Obama is bright and sincere wonder if any human can alter the grim status quo.
"We all struggle with that cynicism," Hamilton said. But, yes, here in 2008, "I think it can be better, and I think the American people want it to be better."

Posted March 19, 2010
DarrkPhoenix: That article makes a massive, glaring error that completely overshadows any other problems with it: things are not priced based on what they cost to produce, they are priced based on what people are willing to pay. Any decrease in production or distribution costs will not be passed on to consumers, it will be used to increase the margins of everyone involved with the selling of the product. If you want to see direct proof of this simply look at the costs of any new release- are the digitally distributed versions less expensive than the retail versions to reflect the lower distribution costs? QED.
The system doesn't work.

Well, so far we have done the best All-time HR hitter...Pitcher...SS...and Catcher....
So today, we'll discuss who is the best all-time MLB...Read More
Hello and welcome to another Wednesday of deep thoughts. When you read this I will be wandering somewhere in the brush of South Texas. It has been years since I have had the chance to hunt down south and I am excited to be able to take a couple of days and get away from the city. Hopefully, I will have a safe hunt and be back with a few pictures next week. I did not mention it last week, but I was fighting off a case of shingles. I noticed a patch of bumps on my forehead, but did not think anything of it. During the day, the bumps gathered momentum, so I headed to the Dr. He took a look and said it was shingles? What? Yep, if you had chicken pox as a kid, you can get shingles as an adult. What a crappy deal, the entire left side of my head was so sensitive, it hurt to shampoo my hair. I did find out that you can get a shingles shot...I would highly recommend it!
By now, everyone will have covered Sunday's games. But I feel compelled to say congrats to Patriots and Giants. Both games were hard hitting affairs that tested each winner. It is no stretch that the winners could easily have been sitting on the losing side of the field. A horribly yanked field goal and an inexperienced punt returner will leave the Ravens and 49ers to imagine what might have been. I hate losing, but when you lose a game you could have won, it is difficult to get over. It is probably easier for the 49ers as they were not expected to be there and have a bright future, but they could have won. The Ravens...are a different story. Joe Flacco really did not play poorly, but the fact is he will have to answer questions about not winning; again. Is this fair? Of course not, but until he wins a SB, he will hear the critics say he can't win the big game.
I guess this Super Bowl matchup will make the NFL suits happy. The "experts" will talk about Brady and Belichick winning another championship or they will talk about Eli passing his big brother in SB wins. The truth is that Brady did not play that well against Baltimore and his path does not get any easier with the Giants pass rush. I suppose that the Patriots will be a slight favorite, but I am not so sure. The Giants have a great pass rush to go with a potent offense. The Giants will have to outscore the Pats, and I am not so sure that they won't. I have not been an Eli Manning fan, but he seems to play his best in big games. Many laughed earlier this year when Eli said he considered himself to be one of the best QBs in the league. But with his play this year, he has a valid point. I had Eli as my fantasy QB a few years ago and developed a strong dislike for what he did not do for my team. As much as I hate to say it, the guy can play the position, especially this time of year.
Tom Brady annihilates mediocre teams, but seems to have problems against good defenses. When the Giants beat New England in their last Super Bowl matchup, the Patriots were the better team. Save for an acrobatic career catch by an average receiver, the Giants would not have beaten the Patriots. Earlier this season, the Giants beat the Patriots without Hakeem Nicks. Welker and Gronkowski were terrific, but the Giants still won. Can the Pats defense stop the trio of Giant receivers? The Patriots defense came to play last Sunday and I suspect that it will take a season best performance for them to beat New York in a couple of weeks. By the way, Vince Wilfork is truly a beast....
Like most of you, I wish the Super Bowl was next weekend. Two weeks to hype this event just sucks, but what can you do?
Hopefully Steven Tyler will not be asked to sing the SSB at the Super Bowl. Was it just me or did Tyler struggle to sing the anthem? This is a judge of American Idol? I know that this song tests the range of many, but damn...
Joe Paterno died on Sunday. So much has happened since last November, that it is difficult to imagine exactly what his passing means. I have never been crazy about Joe Paterno, but I always respected what he stood for. Sadly, this is no longer possible. Many will always remember that Joe did nothing to stop a predator that resided within his program. This is the truth and there is no arguing this reality. There is something that gnaws at my core, however. Joe Paterno gave years of wonderful service to Penn State and college football. Many great young men attended Penn State and learned strong values from Joe Paterno. The values that Joe preached are important for college men to hear. With Joe's passing, I do not find joy or satisfaction; I find only sadness. I fear the passing of Paterno is a loss of something much larger than this man. What I suspect is that with Paterno's death, we will no longer have a college coach that teaches the right way. College football has become exactly what Paterno dreaded it would. This regular Joe was simple man with a terrific message about life for his players. It is too bad that when faced with a terrible situation, that Joe could not practice what he preached...so to speak. Sadly, history cannot reflect Paterno's contribution to college football; his mistake will be all that we remember.
I am not much for basketball, but this video deserves a nod:
With the Pacers out of town, they thought it might be a good idea to have their mascot (Boomer) visit an area high school game. Boomer did his half time thing, but the result left officials wondering how to finish the game. Luckily, there was an smaller gym nearby to finish the game.
Monday night was the football banquet for the Westwood Warriors. This is the end of the careers for most of the Westwood seniors. It is strange to realize that my son is now a football senior...one more year and he will be done. Guys, I can't lie...that last game will be tough. I will be doing a bit of speaking at the banquet, I will be telling this joke:
A friend of mine has fanily that live outside of New Orleans. Her uncle is a police captain in this town and she told me a story recently. There had been rumors of illegal rooster fighting going on, so the captain sent his best two detectives to investigate; Boudreaux and Thibodaux. A few days later, his detectives came back to tell their captain what they discovered. Well captain, they is three main groups involved with this illegal rooster fighting: Dey is tree main groups involve in dis rooster Fightin", he began.
You may have heard that everything is bigger in Texas? I could not believe this when I caught it on the news tonight:
That is all I have for this week, but I will leave you with a bit of Jack Handey to chew on:
The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why I didn't get more meat, I'll just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where I've hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?
I wouldn't be surprised if someday some fishermen caught a big shark and cut it open, and there inside was a whole person. Then they cut the person open, and in him is a little baby shark. And in the baby shark there isn't a person, because it would be too small. But there's a little doll or something, like a Johnny Combat little toy guy---something like that.
Thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave a few deep thoughts of your own...

Aptera refunds deposits, future unclear
Those who have been waiting for their Aptera electric cars since 2008 are in for more bad news: The Carlsbad, Calif.-based company is returning all deposits made by customers who signed up to buy the Aptera 2e all-electric car or the 2h hybrid model.
Aptera rose to prominence in the green-car world by entering the Automotive X Prize in 2008. The company's two-seat, three-wheel commuter vehicle was claimed to get 300 mpg, at a price of less than $30,000.
The vehicle was said to be headed toward production in December of that year. But, in late 2009, the car still had not been produced, a result of money troubles and engineering changes. The company readjusted and estimated the vehicle would be available in 2010.
Now, Aptera says it is returning deposits because of a problem with its credit-card processor, which is designed for transactions to be completed in a six-month window-- far exceeded by the prolonged production time of the vehicle.Aptera issued a statement last week saying, in part: "Reservation-holder contact information will be moved to our newly created VIP database and used to provide you with exclusive information about future happenings at Aptera.
"As our production date approaches, we will use the database to direct you to your local retailer so you can be among the first to own an Aptera vehicle."

Two sisters in Bloomington, Illinois, have turned the two-car garage of their new home into a virtual winter wonderland with hundreds of Department 56 buildings and accessories.
According to the Pantagraph newspaper, Marge Russell and Barbara Strangeway started collecting the lighted buildings and figurines 15 years ago. Since then, the sisters have accumulated a collection of more than 500 buildings and about 4,000 accessories.
"I just love being creative with it," Russell told the news provider.
"It never goes up the same twice," her sister, Strangeway, added.
The duo says that the garage is the perfect space to display their stunning collection, as they've never had so much space. However, all of their pieces are still not being used.
They noted that they began their collection when they lived in a small mobile home in Florida with their elderly mother.
"We didn't have much room, but we'd line the living room with just a path in the middle to walk through," Strangeway told the newspaper.
Whether individuals have a small shelf or mantle or an entire room, Department 56 collectibles can help make holiday décor more festive.
Some people choose to display entire collections, while others choose to pick and choose their favorite pieces to create a smaller centerpiece.

"My favorite dessert to make has to be cheesecakes. This is just one of many that gets lot of requests. It is sweet and tangy just like its more familiar cousin, the pie. I usually serve it with whipped cream and lime slices. Enjoy!" - by BLUEKAT76
Adjust Servings
Original recipe yields 1 - 9 inch cheesecake
- Combine cookie or graham cracker crumbs with butter or margarine. Press into bottom and partially up sides of 9 inch springform pan. Refrigerate.
- In a large bowl, beat with an electric mixer the cream cheese, sugar, lime peel, and cornstarch until smooth and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, blending just until smooth. Add key lime juice with mixer on low. Finish mixing by hand. Do not overbeat, or cake will crack during baking. Pour batter into prepared crust.
- Bake at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 55 to 65 minutes, or until set. To minimize cracking, place a shallow pan half full of hot water on lower rack during baking.

My Staff loves this kibble! She will even eat it without the enticement with wet food. This kibble is great value for money as even my little fat bum has lost weight eating the right amount of this food. Unlike a lot of other biscuits it doesn't create loads of dusty residue and the biscuits themselves are just the right size. I fully recommend this kibble!

What happens when my boyfriend's mom cleans out her cabinet :) I gain more products!!! I'm a product junkie!!! (Taken with instagram)
These products are a combination of my old purchases, her donations from things she doesn't use but has, and new purchases from the salon I started working at.
No woman likes to Admit they have it, but we all have some facial hair. Whether its blonde or dark, it's there. There are products out there that help take care of it.
I have been using #SallyHansen products for years and love them!! They get the job done without irritating my sensitive skin!
NYC blushables (Taken with instagram)
After watching Eleventh Gorgeous' Favorite Blushes Video I came across these NYC blushable creme stick blushes on my local Rite Aid. They were talking about possible difficulty finding these and how they thought some colors were being discontinued. When I saw these severely clearanced I had to grab them!! I'm so happy I did!!
Now that Spring is here, Blush moves up on my importance list!! Blush can give you such a fresh look!
649U Berry New Yorker was my first grab! This is the typical dark blush I would go to. I have a similar Bare Essentuals loose blush that I love. This color works great on my skin tone. It works great lightly for every day, and a little more intense for a night out.
644U Plaza Pink is a much lighter pink. It has a sight peachy tone to it for me. Its not something I would normally wear but I thought it was a great color for Spring. Its great for a daily wear, or a nice fresh look. I'm really excited to get more use out of this color once this rainy gross weather dissipates.
All in all I want to thank the Eleventh Gorgeous Women for turning me onto this awesome product. I also am hoping that this clearance rack find isn't a note that these products are completely disappearing!
**Be Beautiful**

Inspiring Quilters, Stitch by Stitch
This quilt pattern I found on line and fell in love with it. Each block has a Biblical reference so the quilt as a whole tells a story. The blocks are 15" and I used black and white fabrics and I added a 1" red trim around the blocks to represent the Blood of Jesus surrounding me while I sleep.

Health Information
Drug Allergies
Topic Overview
What is a drug allergy?
A drug allergy happens when you have a harmful reaction to a medicine you use. Your body's Reference immune system Opens New Window fights back by setting off an Reference allergic reaction Opens New Window. Most drug allergies are mild, and the symptoms go away within a few days after you stop using the medicine. But some drug allergies can be very serious.
Some drug allergies go away with time. But after you have an allergic reaction to a drug, you will probably always be allergic to that drug. You can also be allergic to other drugs that are like it.
A drug allergy is one type of harmful, or adverse, drug reaction. There are other kinds of adverse drug reactions. Symptoms and treatments of different kinds of adverse reactions vary. So your doctor will want to find out if you have a true drug allergy or if you have another type of bad reaction that isn't as serious.
What are the symptoms?
The symptoms of a drug allergy can range from mild to very serious. Most of the time they appear within 1 to 72 hours. They include:
- Reference Hives Opens New Window or welts, a rash or blisters. These are the most common symptoms of drug allergies. See a picture of Reference skin reactions caused by drug allergies Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window.
- Coughing, wheezing, a runny nose, and trouble breathing.
- A fever.
- A serious skin condition that makes your skin blister and peel. This problem is called Reference toxic epidermal necrolysis Opens New Window, and it can be deadly if it is not treated.
- Reference Anaphylaxis Opens New Window, which is the most dangerous reaction. It can be deadly, and you will need emergency treatment. Symptoms, such as hives and trouble breathing, usually appear within 1 hour after you take the medicine. Without emergency care, you could die.
What medicines commonly cause an allergic reaction?
Any medicine can cause an allergic reaction. A few of the most common ones are:
- Penicillins (such as ampicillin or amoxicillin).
- Sulfa medicines.
- Barbiturates.
- Reference Insulin Opens New Window.
- Vaccines.
- Anticonvulsants.
- Medicines for Reference hyperthyroidism Opens New Window.
If you are allergic to one medicine, you may be allergic to others like it. For example, if you are allergic to penicillin, there is a chance that you may also be allergic to similar medicines, such as amoxicillin.
How is a drug allergy diagnosed?
Your doctor will diagnose a drug allergy by asking you questions about the medicines you take and about any medicines you have taken in the recent past. Your doctor will also ask about your past health and your symptoms. He or she will do a physical exam.
If this doesn't tell your doctor whether you have a drug allergy, then he or she may do skin tests. Or your doctor may have you take small doses of a medicine to see if you have a reaction.
How is it treated?
If you have a reaction
Call 911 right away if you have trouble breathing or if you start to get hives.
If you have a severe reaction, your first treatment may occur in an emergency room. You may get an Reference epinephrine Opens New Window shot to help you breathe. You may also get medicines, such as Reference antihistamines Opens New Window and Reference steroid medicines Opens New Window.
If you have a mild allergic reaction, over-the-counter (OTC) antihistamines may help your symptoms. You may need prescription medicine if these don't help or if you have problems with side effects, such as drowsiness. Not all OTC antihistamines cause drowsiness.
Other treatment
The best thing you can do for a drug allergy is to stop taking the medicine that causes it. Talk to your doctor to see if you can take another type of medicine.
If you can't change your medicine, your doctor may try a method called desensitization. This means that you will start to take small amounts of the medicine that caused your reaction. Under your doctor's supervision, you will then slowly increase how much you take. This lets your immune system "get used to" the medicine. After this, you may no longer have an allergic reaction.
Staying safe
If you have severe drug allergies, your doctor may give you an allergy kit that contains an epinephrine shot. Your kit may also include an antihistamine. Keep your allergy kit with you at all times. Your doctor will teach you how to use it. If you have a serious allergic reaction, you may need to give yourself the shot, take the antihistamine, and get emergency medical treatment.
Be sure to wear a medical alert bracelet or other jewelry that lists your drug allergies. If you are in an emergency, this can save your life.
How can you care of yourself at home?
To take care of yourself at home:
- Know which medicines you're allergic to, and avoid taking these medicines.
- Keep a list of all medicines you are taking.
- Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about any new medicines you are prescribed. Make sure they are not similar to those that can cause a reaction.
- Don't use someone else's medicines or share yours.
If you do have a mild reaction, take steps to relieve symptoms such as itching. Take cool showers, or apply cool compresses. Wear light clothing that doesn't bother your skin. Stay away from strong soaps and detergents, which can make itching worse.

You don't expect much of leap years. Such cosmic anomalies are liable for all sorts of calamities like the IMF paying a visit (hello athens!) or windows 8 (metro) getting sillier than ever — it took me ages to realize how to turn the win8 consumer preview off after some bozo removed the familiar start button. To counter-balance the cosmic scales, here is a better xplorer² version ☺
Other noteworthy added features include: (changelog)
Download xplorer² v2.1 (professional version, 32 or 64 bit)
If you already own a v2.0 license key this is a free upgrade for you, just install it on top of your existing installation (without uninstalling the old one). If you haven't got a v2 key yet have a look at the v1.x migration procedure, you may be entitled to a discount.
Up to now xplorer² had two flavors, a free lite and a paid for "professional" version. Now we have a 3rd paid option called ultimate. It is more expensive ($49.95) but it is the best xplorer² money can buy. It combines the file management power of the professional version with portability (no installation required and no impact on windows registry). It suits people on the move as well as system administrators in bigger companies. If you tried the old portable version you'll be glad to hear that the new ultimate version can be both installed on a hard disk and be kept in a USB stick at the same time.
In anticipation of the support turmoil this is going to cause, I regret to inform the owners of professional licenses that you cannot get the ultimate version unless you pay for the difference in price (use Help > Upgrade to ultimate menu command). The ultimate edition is a separate product with its own lifetime cover — a true leap year spawn. At any rate, if you don't need the portability you don't miss out on anything big, the v2.1 professional version is very capable as always.
Download xplorer² v2.1 (ultimate version, 32 or 64 bit)

20 Plant Science
(607) 255-1799
Email: email@example.com
My academic interests lie in floriculture, greenhouse cropping systems and the physiology of ornamental plants. My research and extension efforts in flower bulb forcing and use are substantially supported by the Dutch flower bulb export industry as well as US companies and Foundations. Findings from my research group have been adopted by many in the floriculture industry worldwide. I also provide leadership for the Seeley Conference, a major floral industry think tank held annually in Ithaca, and I teach courses in herbaceous plant materials and greenhouse management and crop production.
The focus of my group is essentially in the areas of floricultural crop production and postharvest physiology, especially with flower bulbs. We are interested in growth control, ethylene effects on plants, interactions of specific plant pathogens (e.g., Fusarium oxysporum fs tulipae) and tulip bulbs in terms of ethylene evolution by the pathogen, carbohydrate metabolism in bulbous plants and physiological disorders (physiological diseases) in floricultural crops. We are also heavily involved in outdoor trialing and evaluation of annuals and perennials in Ithaca's USDA Hardiness Zone 5 climate.
I communicate my research findings through a newsletter and the Flower Bulb Research Program website. In addition to talks to grower groups, I also provide leadership for the annual Seeley Conference, and collaborate on the annual Cornell Floriculture Field Day.
I am responsible for two formal courses, Hort 3000 (Annuals and Perennials, aka Herbaceous Plant Materials), and Hort 3100 (Greenhouse Crop production and Marketing). Additionally, I usually direct several independent studies each semester and give guest lectures in other courses.

Police stepping up enforcement during Thanksgiving weekend
State Police will step up enforcement over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend starting Wednesday.
"The Holiday Season is a special time for families and friends, and getting there safely needs to be the primary focus of every driver on the road," said Superintendent Joseph A. D'Amico. "With the high traffic volumes we anticipate, the stakes are just too high. So we are redoubling our efforts to minimize tragedies."
The State Police will supplement regular road patrols with additional details statewide focusing on aggressive driving behaviors, impaired driving, phone use and texting. The effort will incorporate sobriety checkpoints and dedicated DWI roving patrols, as well as an "Operation Hang-up" initiative, which utilizes covertly marked patrol vehicles to apprehend drivers talking on the phone or texting.
Troopers are reminding all motorists to avoid being victims of highway emergencies by designating sober drivers, making a commitment to not use mobile phones while driving, and buckling up all occupants.
"Holiday travel should never be taken lightly and the better motorists are prepared, the less likely they are to speed, drive aggressively, fall asleep or be the victim of a crash or other highway emergency," said D'Amico. "For those who choose to jeopardize safety, we are increasing the likelihood they will encounter a trooper along the way."
During the 2011 Thanksgiving Holiday period, troopers issued 4,353 speeding tickets and arrested 277 drivers for DWI.
During the last Operation Hang-up initiative in April 2012, troopers issued more than 3,000 tickets for phone and texting violations.

5 Minute Developer: How to Build a Currency Converter in 5 Minutes
First Published Saturday, 30th January 2010 03:06 pm from Xand : ChasCooper
The opinions expressed by this blogger and those providing comments are theirs alone, this does not reflect the opinion of Automated Trader or any employee thereof. Automated Trader is not responsible for the accuracy of any of the information supplied by this article.
height="61" width="51" />
five minutes, a business in the U.S.
target="_blank">catches fire, someone in the UK
target="_blank">swears, and a clock that took 5
years and £1 million to build before being unveiled by none
other than Stephen Hawking, finally
target="_blank">tells the time accurately for a
second or two.
What will you do with your next
5 minutes?
Here's a thought: Why not build a
forex currency converter? Sound like fun? If so, give
it a try using the steps below. Or, if you'd rather
leave all the fun to someone else, why not just href="http://www.xignite.com/forex/web-service/2000106.html"
target="_self">watch a video of us doing
Here's how
it's done:
1: Start a new Windows application project in
Visual Studio.
Step 2:
Create a Web reference to
http://www.xignite.com/xCurrencies.asmx?WSDL and call it
3: On the Form1 design, drag and drop 3 text
boxes, 2 labels, and a button, arranging them as shown in the
picture. From left to right, give the text boxes the following
names and default text: inputBaseAmount defaulting to 1000,
inputBaseSymbol defaulting to USD, inputQuoteSymbol defaulting to
EUR. One label should have a big equal sign in it and the other
should have the name of labelQuoteAmount and zero for its text
property. The button should read "Convert."
alt="Real-Time Forex Currency Converter Built in 5 Minutes"
Step 4:
Double-click the button to create its click event
handler, and give it the following 3 lines of code:
XigniteCurrenciesWebService = new
XigniteCurrenciesService.ExchangeConversion Quote =
labelQuoteAmount.Text =
Step 5:
Compile and run.
Authentication trouble? If
you get an authentication error, it means you're not
being authenticated from a cookie or your IP address.
Don't worry. Just add 3 more lines after the first line
of code to pass your authentication key through SOAP. Be sure to
replace MYAUTHENTICATIONKEY with your own Xignite account
authentication key. (Don't have an authentication key? Just href="http://www.xignite.com/forex/getting-started/2000111.html"
target="_self">sign up to get one. Your e-mail will
be your initial authentication
objHeader = new XigniteCurrenciesService.Header();
objHeader.Username =

You just spent the last five minutes far more
productively than one U.S. business, one citizen of the UK, and
one very expensive but very inaccurate clock.

Want to save money? Check out the 2012 Toyota Tundra Double Cab
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating:
Nowhere is brand loyalty more prevalent than in the full-size pickup category. Deep-seated entrants like the Chevrolet Silverado, Ram 1500 and the best-selling Ford F-150 continue their dominance over the segment whereas relative newcomers, namely the 2013 Toyota Tundra, struggle to gain market share. These comparatively low sales numbers, however, do not reflect the Tundra's performance capabilities, as it equals or bests the competition when it comes to horsepower, towing capacity and available features. And while many full-size truck manufacturers have pushed the subject of safety to the back burner, Toyota elected to embrace this often overlooked virtue and developed the first full-size pickup to receive the coveted Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
If you have grown tired with the usual suspects from Ford, Chevrolet and Ram, it might be time to take a closer look at the Toyota Tundra. Backed by Toyota's enviable reputation for safety and reliability, the 2013 Tundra is a genuine workhorse with impressive towing capabilities, rugged construction and first-class interior accommodations. To top it all off, every Toyota Tundra is built in America.
Toyota is proud that its full-size pickup is capable of towing the substantial loads of a three-quarter-ton in half-ton guise. A remarkable feat indeed, but the beefed-up rear suspension that permits this impressive capability produces a bouncy ride when unloaded. Furthermore, full-size truck shoppers who consider fuel economy a top priority will find plenty to like in the new Ram 1500 V6.
Toyota's Entune infotainment system makes its way into the Tundra pickup for the 2013 model year. In addition, the TRD Rock Warrior Package is now available for Limited models.
Driving Impressions From behind the wheel, there is no getting around that the 2013 Toyota Tundra is an enormous truck. A tall, upright seating position makes it easier to see over the...
massive hood, but the Tundra's overall girth, like all trucks in this segment, requires some top-notch driving skills when navigating narrow roads or confined quarters. The optional rearview camera is a great help when parking or attaching a trailer and really should be standard on all models. As for how the 2013 Tundra drives, we found the big Toyota offers excellent steering feel and better ride quality than most three-quarter-ton pickups. The good handling and solid feel have everything to do with the Tundra's frame, which features a fully boxed front section, partially boxed C-channel under the passenger compartment and more flexible open C-channel below the bed for added protection against overloading. Of the two V8 engine choices, we prefer the more powerful 5.7-liter V8 for its rich baritone and high level of torque.ENTUNE
Toyota's new app-based infotainment system features a suite of popular smartphone applications and data services designed to compete with Ford's SYNC Applink, Hyundai Blue Link and Chevrolet MyLink. Currently, Entune includes features like Bing local search, Pandora Internet radio, OpenTable and real-time services such as traffic, weather and fuel prices.
Compared to its smaller V8 counterpart, the 2013 Tundra's optional i-Force 5.7-liter V8 produces an additional 71 horsepower, yet exacts only a marginal penalty in fuel economy.
A big project can call for hauling big people and even bigger equipment, and the 2013 Toyota Tundra has both areas covered. CrewMax models can comfortably hold up to six adults plus provide the convenience of multiple storage areas for toolboxes, jumper cables and other essentials. Adding to the Tundra's comfort level is a rear seat in the Double Cab model that has more rearward angle than in other trucks, making the small space more suitable for long trips. If 4-passenger (or more) accommodations are what you seek, the CrewMax is the right body style for you. With its fore-and-aft-adjustable rear seats and adjustable seatback, the 2013 Tundra CrewMax is the ultimate people-hauler.
ExteriorOutside, the brawny Toyota Tundra boasts the tough, in-your-face attitude demanded by full-size pickup buyers. Although still clearly a product of Toyota design, the Tundra's huge chrome grille surround, prominent hood bulge and sculpted lower door edges project an intimidating appearance. While the base Regular Cab model looks rather pedestrian with its black grille and bumper, up-level trims show off a lot more chrome and flashy options. The Double Cab model features shorter half doors for accessing the smaller rear seat, while the CrewMax models are easily identifiable by their longer cabs, shorter beds and long rear doors. Toyota also offers a Work Truck package that outfits Tundra regular cab models with a vinyl bench seat, durable rubber flooring and a choice between the standard V6 or the available 4.6-liter V8.
Base 2013 Toyota Tundra models come with heated outside mirrors, 18-inch steel wheels, a basic auxiliary audio jack for portable audio devices, 2-speed windshield wipers and a slam-proof hydraulic tailgate. Double Cab and CrewMax SR5 trims add an 8-way power driver's seat, fog lights and the newly available Display Navigation system with Entune, Bluetooth and a rearview camera. Limited models include a JBL premium audio system, 18-inch alloy wheels and chrome body cladding, while the range-topping Platinum grade features heated front seats, 20-inch alloys and perforated leather seating. On the safety front, the 2013 Tundra has eight airbags, trailer-sway control and a full complement of electronic stability aides.
Perhaps the most desirable features available for the Toyota Tundra reside in the TRD packages. Optional equipment exclusive to TRD models range from cosmetic enhancements such as sport fabric-trimmed seats and color-keyed front and rear bumpers to off-road niceties like Bilstein trail-tuned shock absorbers and BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires. If you long for in-vehicle navigation, we recommend opting for the new Display Navigation system in favor of the older, less capable and inexplicably more expensive DVD-based navigation unit. Configuring the right Tundra for your needs is rather simple; if you are willing to sacrifice a bit of hauling capacity for additional interior space, the Tundra CrewMax is the ideal choice. Conversely, drivers who need all of the cargo space they can get should opt for a regular-cab version or the Double Cab with the available 8-foot cargo bed.
The 2013 Toyota Tundra offers three engine choices: the standard 270-horsepower 4.0-liter V6, a 310-horsepower 4.6-liter V8 or the 381-horsepower 5.7-liter V8. The V6 is mated to a 5-speed automatic with uphill/downhill shift logic, while the V8s are mated to a 6-speed automatic. Both the V6 and V8 powertrains employ several technologies that deliver big power and improved efficiency. Dual Variable-Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) optimizes engine performance for changing conditions and demands, while the V8's 6-speed automatic transmission employs a low first gear to aid low-speed acceleration and two overdrive gears to maximize fuel efficiency on the highway.
4.0-liter V6
270 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm
278 lb-ft of torque @ 4,400 rpm

A base 2013 Toyota Tundra carries a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of just over $26,000 and tops out around $50,000 for a fully loaded CrewMax model in Platinum trim. Stepping up to a double cab adds about $2,000 to the bottom line, with CrewMax models commanding an additional $5,000 over the standard regular cab. Full-size offerings from Ram and Chevrolet start around $23,000, while America's best-selling vehicle, the Ford F-150, comes in closer to $25,000. Kelley Blue Book is here to help you get the best deal on your new Toyota Tundra, and it begins with a look at our Fair Purchase Price tool at the bottom of this page. As for resale value, we expect the 2013 Toyota Tundra to hold high 5-year values and lead the full-size segment in residuals.

"Reliable, powerful, and capable, this truck is all I need right now. Radiant Red looks great, and with factory tow package, it has more than enough power for my needs. Pulling a camper (20 feet) uphill isn't a problem with this truck. The double-cab configuration works well, with plenty of space in the back for passengers or equipment, with the seats folded up. In my opinion, a better, more reliable truck than Ford, Chevy, GMC, or Dodge. All were good, Tundra I found to be a little better. Worth the extra money."

"I'd been looking for a truck for quite some time, And I was prepared to buy a Ford F-150 but my neighbor who owns a Tundra let me take his for a spin. I was a changed man, this truck is awesome. So I searched online for the truck I wanted and I liked this truck so much I traveled from Kansas City to Chicago to pick it up. It's been 1 year since I bought it and I cant be happier. The Tundra is one awesome truck!!"

"The Tundra's a very powerful, spacious and dependable pickup. Owned a nightmare Ford that was nothing trouble. I'd owed Fords for years but believed it was just normal to dump money into the truck to keep it going. Well, I decided to drive off in a Tundra and haven't looked back. This truck has been nothing but a pleasure to own."

"I bought this truck because it was cheap and the dealer was giving incentives to move them off the lot. So far, I am on my third transmission. I was told I was driving the truck too hard- funny, they did not say that in their commercials. Good ride on road, but on rough or dirt surfaces, you feel like you are riding in a cement mixer. Seats are comfortable, but the interior had a few trim pieces that fell off."

Nous étudions le français
The other day I updated my Facebook status to say that my "old man advice" for youngsters would be that they should learn to a speak language(s) other than their native tongue. Rebecca and I are taking our own advice and have been diligently studying French for the past two weeks.
When I tell people that we have been working on how to speak French, non-Canadians are often quick to ask why we don't already know how to speak the language, given that we are required to study it all the way through public school. Good question. I'd like an answer to that as well! Could it be that whatever method they use for teaching language in school doesn't work? I base that statement on the fact that I have been able to learn more usable, conversational language (Spanish and Portuguese) in a month's worth of once per day, half-hour Pimsleur lessons, than I did in years and years of mandatory classroom study!
Anyway, Rebecca and I are enjoying being able to practice our new vocabulary with one another. I suspect this new skill will come in handy on the French islands where we've always felt at a bit of a disadvantage not being able to effectively communicate with the residents.
The French-English translation app on our iPad is helpful too.
Mike Bruce permalinkFebruary 4, 2013
I would have thought you could practice your new linguistic skills in Saint Martin. Or are you now in Sant Maarten? Either way, they probably all speak English!
February 4, 2013
I completely agree and would add one thought. Some (much??) of what I DID NOT learn in high school had something to do with my lack of interest and/or lack of understanding about why it was important/useful. In other words, I was a stinking teenager that already knew everything!!
Esmeralda permalinkFebruary 4, 2013
You may also want to try http://www.duolingo.com. You can access it online, it's free, very entertaining and, according to many people, works. They also have a free iPhone app, but I guess you won't be using that one Besides French, other languages available include Spanish, German, Portuguese and Italian.
Au revoir,
ben permalinkFebruary 4, 2013
+1 for duolingo. I got in on the beta doing German. In my life I've studied a dozen languages (only ever learned to speak a couple) and have found duolingo to be top notch.
February 4, 2013
Ditto on the thanks! I took years of Spanish in grade school…long forgotten. I tried French in college but didn't get far. Suspect knowing both will be a big benefit as we head off. Wil definitely check it out.
February 5, 2013
The problem with learning a foreign language in school is that they teach you to say things such as " Where is my red hat?" and "Monique has a small brown dog". Not necessarily the most useful of phrases. The good news is that after taking French in college I can reliably ask where the library is and offer up praise for Pierre's croissants. That is about all.
February 5, 2013
Et, en voyant le titre de votre poste, je pensais que j'allais le lire completement en francais !! (wink, wink, LOL) Now if only there were a french translation for LOL !! KUDOS to you both on learning something new, that's always inspirational !
Tiago permalinkFebruary 10, 2013
Hi Mike and Rebecca,
"rs" is short for "risos" (laughs)…hence "rsrsrs"… The French equivalent would be "mdr", short for "mort de rire" (dying of laughter)… but everybody still understands LOL..

I applaud the Reelz Channel. My only complaint is that I hate waiting until the next day for the next episode. You see, I was 17 when he was elected, I worked in DC during his administration. All of this is known. Even though I know what happens next, I find myself wanting more at the end of each day. How many mini-series can say that? I am sorry there is so much controversy, but frankly, you cannot keep the Kennedy's under Rose Colored Glasses forever. They were real people with real issues. And it is sad that his brother, his son, could not have lived longer. Who can imagine what would have happened. This is a great series.
Review Rating: 0
I agree with you on wanting to see more. We love this family, we really do because even looking at their home movies now makes us long for a different time, one that seemed happy. I was annoyed with all the commercials. WIth all the material out there, it was just suprising to me that they couldn't actually produce an 8 hour series, it was really just 6 hours. ANd it is sad to know that we don't have that time anymore and there are people who condemn them for being who they were. That's the saddest thing of all, the amount of hatred that is still directed at the Kennedys.
Don't just sit there, join the conversation! No need to register to comment, just let us know what you think. Have fun, but please keep it clean and stay on topic — inappropriate remarks will be removed.

Goals and Participation
The FIS organization would like every UI international student to have the opportunity to meet an American and share a valuable intercultural friendship. For the student, an FIS friend may give them the chance to learn about American lifestyles and culture. Students are far from home and often struggling with the English language and/or dealing with the demands of a difficult academic program. They appreciate FIS friends who are neither teacher nor parent to offer company, support, warmth and friendship.
Membership is open to all international undergraduate and graduate students, single, married, with or without families. All Iowa City and surrounding area citizens are also welcome to join FIS as friends. FIS is a flexible program with no set activities or time commitments. Once a friend and student are matched, they can decide what they would like to do together. Friends are expected to be in touch with their students at least once a month, and invite them for major holidays and FIS activities. Students should also take pride in inviting their Friends to their activities. For more information download the FIS brochure.

Excuse me! Excuse me!
I had hoped to blog about my new rock chick purchases this week, but due to an unforeseen sizing issue (ahem) I have to get my new trousers replaced and shall blog next week now.
However, this post is not unconnected, as I was in a well known department store yesterday looking for a pair of killer ankle boots to finish the ensemble and subsequently found them.
The boots in question were not too high, had a thin heel and were slightly pointy. They also had some interesting seam work, so although fairly plain, they were a bit different.

Aggregation Saves $2.2 Million on Deerfield Electric Bills
Village Board learns of savings at Monday meeting. Temporary sign proposal moves forward.

Following last week's great news from the Guardian Open Platform about sponsoring the two remaining Oxford Geek Nights, there's more great news for the Oxford Geek community, as Apress and Friends of ED have also agreed to sponsor OGN14 and OGN15 with books a-plenty.
We try to always have a book raffle at the end of each Oxford Geek Night, where anyone who's stuck a business card in our magic business-card box gets a chance to win one of several books donated by a generous sponsor. So thanks for Apress for stepping up to the crease and fielding a whole over of books in our direction for OGN14: we're guaranteed a great selection of books for local geeks, and another great reason for coming along to OGN14. How can you not?
