Count chocula is possibly the most wonderful thing that has ever been invented, packaged, and sold to the general public. Crunchy, delightful, delicious, it is the only thing that keeps me alive.

Count Chocula is one of the many aliases for Peruvian hitman Alberto-Fonz. He is well known for his many identities and nicknames that include, Count Chocula, Little Mexican Kid, Berty Dozen, Nosferatu, Dracula, and McGruff the Crime Dog. He engages in many illegal activities that give infamy to his name, these include drug trafficking, contract killing, sucking blood from people, and sucking the fun, joy, and laughter from anything that is considered enjoyable. He also participates in many legal occupations such as cereal mascot, farting all over the fucking place, being a crime dog (due to his keen sense of smell), and hanging out with people that are way cooler than him (I.E. those of partial Belgian descent). Alberto is also known for his extreme strength and his ability to tell jokes that have absolutely no humor what soever. He is especially known for his membership in the "Virgin Squad" (for which he is expected to be a member of for the rest of his life). If seen with Alberto you may want to consider suicide because you have no friends at all. Best precaution to avoid Alberto is to not be Mexican, have no friends (he only hangs out with people he knows are cooler than him), and not going to school.

When I first encountered the Nokia Internet Tablet, I thought, "Gosh what a great e-reader!" I've used each NIT as an e-reader but I learned what it's great at is, well, doing the internet thing. As its name suggests.
I thought GPS was a natural win. The big screen made maps easier to read than on most dedicated devices. Still, I used my tablet for email more often than GPS.
The voip calls with visuals blew me away. Except no one with a tethered connection bought into cam-calling.
The 770, the N800, the N810 these were all complete computers! They meant I didn't have to lug around a laptop just in case I had real work to do. But I did most of my real work on a real computer and my wife never got the hang of using a NIT. My son's friends found the iPod Touch easier for surfing and he never cottoned to it.
With its touch screen, I didn't need a keyboard, but I liked the N810 keyboard. The keyboard made apps easier to port anyway.
And Flash! Once it became clear that "internet" meant surfing without sideways scrolling, email, and videos on YouTube, the internet tablet excelled at giving me the internet.
Well, excelled in lots of circumstances. Without a cell-plan data connection the walkaround web had no impact on NIT users. The Apple iPhone has a minuscule segment of the smartphone market but generates 50 percent of mobile web use. Apple's genius wasn't in the interface but in browbeating AT&T into affordable web access.
Does the Nokia Internet Tablet have a real future? We have a $200 netbook and it's easier for conference notetaking than an N810. I have an Amazon Kindle 2 and I can get books for it that aren't available for FBReader on my NITs. Half the cars have GPS built-in now anyway. So what's the sweet spot for the Internet Tablet?
Doh!. The internet, same as it's always been.
Except these days, "the internet" means Twitter, too. With multi-tasking so I can tweet full-screen and use multiple screens to follow several hundred people (in more than one group). With keyboard and touch-screen and audio and photos too. And from anywhere I might be, um-m, walking around.
I can tweet from a phone now, thank you very much, but making sure it fits is no piece of cake. Tweeting means editing down to 140 characters without having to struggle. And reading (following), tweeting and surfing simultaneously? Hey, where's my computer again? At least Maemo was built for us to do more than one thing at a time.
I expect there will be lots of cellphones released this year that have keyboards and screens of a satisfactory size and cameras. Just having good specs won't draw much attention. But if the next NIT can ace the Twitter test and fly the Flash flag, it'll be very much in demand.

It's the multitasking and smooth handling of advanced tasks more computer like and in your pocket that's the real differentiator .... with integrated connectivity beyond wifi we'll really have a powerful mobile tool.

I hope the bar is higher than twitter .... and flash can be done from Nokia's S60 products too.
It's the multitasking and smooth handling of advanced tasks -- more computer like and in your pocket that's the real differentiator. I use a netbook too, but it won't be in my pocket when I am out.

Actually, the data rates leading to the iPhone's success aren't it at all. While they definitely helped (Canada has ridiculous data rates, even still), the iPhone came with enough junk out of the box that made it a useful internet appliance/mobile phone. While you can't view flash on it, the browsing experience beat out what I've had on the 770/N810.
My N810 is gathering some dust now, I only had about 10 hours on it before it sadly lost some of it's appeal to me. Unless Nokia pressures providers, I don't see the successor getting any decent data rates; the ones I've seen up here are all iPhone only.

New Scrum Kickoff Planner Aims To Help Agile Teams Start on The Right Track
- Share
- |
Read later
Reading List
A new "Scrum Kickoff Planner" has just been released by Adam Weisbart with the aim of facilitating team discussion around the important facets of starting a new Agile team or project.
The guide is a PDF document that is designed to be filled in as part of a kickoff discussion with the core Scrum team. The document was to designed to encourage discussion around a number of key points including the team and their agreed approaches and tools for collaboration, the role of the Product Owner, sprint scheduling, coordination with other teams, definitions of done and ready and agreed approaches to estimation. As per the introduction to the guide:
[The] guide is meant to give your group some basic questions to consider when forming (or rebooting) your team. Print out a copy for each team member, block out some time, and sit down together to fill it out. The main purpose of this planner is to foster collaboration and communication. Like a good user story, it's meant to encourage conversation.
The Planner is the latest in a long line of free and useful tools and ideas that Adam has introduced to the Agile community, including Agile Manifesto and Values posters, the "Update the Card Wall" reminder application, the "Build Your Own Scrum" exercise and the "Agile Antipattern Project".
InfoQ caught up with Adam to find out some more about this new resource for the Agile community.
InfoQ: Who is your target audience for this guide?
When I created the planner, I had 3 main audiences in mind:
- New Scrum Masters: Like most folks, I got my official start as a Scrum Master by taking a Certified Scrum Master course. My instructor, Jimi Fosdick, was amazingly helpful, and his two day course prepared me to start doing Scrum. And by "prepared", I mean it gave me enough information to go out into the world and be dangerous. It takes years and years of practice to become a real master of course, but I was fired up and excited to hit the ground running. I put the "Scrum Kickoff Planner" together, in part, to help ensure that students of my Certified Scrum Master course have a tool to help them be more successful setting up their first teams. I was lucky enough to be able to bug Jimi with Scrum Kickoff questions. As I don't expect he'd appreciate me giving out his cell number to people here, I've created this planner with the aim of guiding you through the process, a little like a coach would.
- Teams Having Trouble: In my coaching I run into a lot of teams that have been doing Scrum for a while, but are feeling stuck. What I've discovered is that it's often due to them not having a firm foundation. The "Scrum Kickoff Planner" helps lay a firm foundation for teams, so it can be a great tool for those teams looking to reboot. The questions in the planner can lead to good conversations. Good conversations can lead to good teams.
- Agile Coaches: The planner is a great assessment tool for covering all your bases as a coach, for the same reasons it's useful for teams that need a reboot. Coaches are using the guide in the field to help ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
InfoQ: Do you have any suggestions on the best ways for teams to have the conversation using this guide?
I suggest using the guide in the most interactive way possible. The only way I have seen teams go really wrong using the planner is to have one person type into the form on their computer while everyone else sits around. Boring. Print the planner up, and hand it out to each team member. Have everyone scribble all over it, consume it, make a mess of it. This is a great time for the Scrum Master to use some facilitation techniques. Break out the post-its and sharpies, and run an hour long session on the Definition of Done. Have everyone brainstorm individually on what they think goes into their definition of done for 5 minutes of silent writing, then facilitate a conversation about each point by using affinity grouping. Have fun with it!
InfoQ: What do you suggest the team do with the information once they have collected it?
Artifacts are good, but conversations are better. I encourage teams to create living artifacts that promote more conversation. For example, once a team has come up with a Definition of Done (DoD), I suggest they post it next to their task board, or wherever they have their daily scrum, so that they can review the DoD when they decide together if an item in their sprint backlog is done. Scrum Masters would do well to help their team remember to review their DoD and update as needed. I suspect that over time a new team's DoD will become more strict as their engineering practices and teamwork improve. Keep the DoD artifact alive by having conversations about it and updating it as needed. If your team has a hard time remembering when the different meetings happen during your sprint, by all means, post the schedule you created together using the Planner in the team room as well.
InfoQ: If people need some more help in how to fill out areas of the guide, do you have any suggested sources for help?
I would love to hear from folks that need help, as I'd like to continue to update the guide with useful information. People can do this through the comments section of the blog post introducing the Planner. If I get a lot of interest there, I'll set up a more in depth online community around it. If there's a ton of interest, I'd consider holding a regular online meetup as well. Lastly, if your team needs more hands on help, my colleagues and I at CollabNet offer on-site assessments, training, and coaching using the Planner and other tools.
InfoQ: Why do you think such a guide has not existed before?
Each time I'd start up a new team prior to this Planner, I meant to create this document. I suspect there were others in the Scrum Community thinking the same thing. Trouble is, when you're in the trenches, and you only start up a team or two a year, the ROI on writing a planner is low. Knowing that I would continue to start up many teams a year and that students in my classes need a planner like this, I finally sat down and created the content. I think people are really busy with their teams and don't have the extra time. I'd like to help Scrum Master's and coaches that don't have the bandwidth, and that's the main reason I decided to share it with the community. I believe it increases a team's chance of success, and more successful Scrum teams in the world is good for us all.
InfoQ: Are there any improvements you are considering for the guide in the future?
Yes! I'm currently working on a set of supporting materials that will act as a tutorial for some of the more in-depth items like: creating a Definition of Done, how to define a Product Vision, etc… I'm also excited to hear from folks who've used the planner and start integrating their suggestions where appropriate.
The "Scrum Kickoff Planner" is available as a free download from Adam's website. Do you have any approaches you use or essential discussion points that you cover up front when setting up a Scrum team?

Excellent start. But needs iterations
tushar jain
1. Holiday list ( for all locations if team is spread out at multiple location)
2. Celebrations ( Birthdays, Anniversaries, any special day like Big game between 49er and Lions, India Pak Cricket match, any festival, etc).
3. Potential Hazardous days (e.g. any strike proposed by Taxi drivers in Delhi where few of the Team members are located, fire drill, etc)
4. A table which shows various time zones and their conversion if team members are in different time zones.
The heading Team Values you mentioned in Planner looks good on paper but does it make any contribution while planning? I wonder.
You can also think of using spread sheet instead of plain document to facilitate better customization.
Nevertheless, Planner is good start in right direction.

10 T-Shirts We Can't Believe We Wore in the 90s
The 90s were a weird time for all of us, and especially for our wardrobes. While some of the fashions of our childhood seem to be making a comeback (Hammer pants, really? Again?) there are some things that we're really hoping be making a comeback any time soon. Here are ten t-shirts we'll own up to actually purchasing that we're hoping stay securely locked in the fashion time capsule.
- 10
The technology was pretty cool, we'll admit it. The unforseen downside of these glorified tie-dye shirts was that they really spotlighted our sweaty teenage pits, which didn't do us any favors with the ladies. Good riddance.
- 9
Big Johnson
We can't believe we were allowed to wear these to school, but unfortunately, we had quite the collection. Eventually people started to catch on, and the shirts were pretty much banned everywhere, but not before we had sufficiently embarrassed ourselves.
- 8
The Kramer
Just because a joke is funny, doesn't mean it should be on a t-shirt. God how we wish we had learned that lesson earlier. At least we can destroy all evidence, but this poor guy...
- 7
Novelty Drinking Shirts
These are already corny on their own, but back when we wore them, we couldn't even buy beer. This was pretty much the official uniform of posers.
- 6
French Connection Shirts
In 9th grade, this was the funniest joke in the world. Now? Not so much.
- 5
Hot Topic Shirts
In the 90s, Hot Topic had an entire wall of black shirts with white text that said "funny" things on them like this one, or "I do whatever the voices in my head tell me to do." Nowadays we do our best to disguise our mental illnesses, rather than advertise them.
- 4
I'm With Stupid
The original shirts from the 70s had an arrow pointing to the person next to you, and two decades later some moron decided that if that was funny (it wasn't) then an arrow pointing up yourself would be hilarious. It wasn't, but we thought it was.
- 3
Sports Caricature Shirts
Remember these? Granted, it was right around the time where every mall in America had caricature artist who, for $5 would turn you into a bobblehead drawing. We've got one of those drawings in our attic somewhere, probably under a pile of these shirts.
- 2
Brand Parody Shirts
Don't judge us, we're already judging ourselves. Also, don't pretend you didn't have one.
- 1
Fake Muscle Shirts
Listen, we got it as a gift, but yes, we wore it a couple of times. This one was bad enough that we realized it eventually, though. The women's version of the trend was an airbrushed bikini bod, and was worn exclusively by 60-year-old women on the beach. What were we thinking?

Michigan State's banged-up point guard Keith Appling shoots with shoulder wrap in practice
EAST LANSING, Mich. – Michigan State guard Keith Appling says he'll be "all right" in the Midwest Regional semifinals against Duke.
Appling practiced Monday with his banged-up right shoulder in a protective wrap after taking a pad off his left knee.
He hurt his shoulder in Saturday's win over Memphis with 8:35 left in the game and didn't return. He has been playing with a sore knee.
Appling hopes he doesn't have to play with any protection when the third-seeded Spartans play the second-seeded Blue Devils on Friday night in Indianapolis.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound junior is Michigan State's leading scorer, averaging 13.3 points a game, and has a team-high 3.4 assists per game.

Tetsugaku Letra (manga): "In middle school, Ichinose Kimitaka taught his friends how to play basketball. Despite his experience with the sport, his friends quickly outmatched him in skill. After an incident brought on by his frustration and jealousy, he was crushed to overhear those same 'friends' discussing how they wished he'd just kill himself. On his way to toss out his special basketball shoes, he met a girl who was just as frustrated, throwing her own dancing shoes away. Tall, with large hands and feet, she had been rejected from her chosen hobby of Spanish dancing. He urged her to give basketball a try, and the two exchanged their shoes instead of throwing them away. As he enters high school, Kimitaka learns that meeting him changed that girl's life for the better, and she is now a happy, social basketball player. Will Kimitaka be able to find the courage to make new friends and pursue his own talents?"
Itoshi no Nina (manga): "One afternoon, Atsushi's best friend, Masa, informs him, "I kidnapped Niina Aota." Niina, whose popular nickname is "Nina", is the girl Masa fell in love with at first sight on the train attending school.

Do a search for "harem" anime.

Angel Densetsu might also qualify as a manga, although the art might take some getting used to. The main character looks absolutely evil (not just thuggish like the kid from Toradora!, but literally demonic), while actually being a genuinely good kid. Over time he makes several friends and the story follows him as he adjusts to a new school.
But along the way he runs into several misunderstandings because of his diabolical appearance.
Most of them are played for laughs to emphasize how ridiculous it is to judge a person by their appearance.

It's also by Norihiro Yagi, the creator/mangaka of Claymore.
hahah yeah Accel World
Moteki, not really physically bullied, but emotionally bullied.
"Good ending"
Ookiku Furikabutte-
After a falling out with his middle school team, Mihashi enters Nishiura high school with no social skill, a warped opinion of himself, and every intention to quit baseball. The newly formed Nishiura baseball team, however, needs a pitcher, and they welcome him. Most enthusiastic is Abe, a domineering catcher with his own game issues.
And so a battery every bit as complementary as it is dysfunctional is formed. If they can figure out how to work together, they might be the answers to each other's problems-and the team might be able to win.
(credits to myanimelist.net)
Mihashi, the main character, was extremely ignored and bullied for being the main pitcher on a past baseball team, and because of this he has a horrible opinion on himself, his pitching and all his abilities.
It's a great story, regardless of whether you like sports or not. The way the characters progress and change is great, and the friendship is powerful.
The characters are very interesting and realistic- the main character, Mihashi, is strange and quirky- and, oh my God, doesn't get a harem because he's bullied!
I really recommend it.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
Just warning you, the art style is a bit odd- but it cleans up in season 2, and in the manga the artist has improved crazily.
Enoshima BOWL!
Angel Densetsu (the person who made it also made claymore. The drawing put me off but I stuck to it and really liked it.)
I can't believe my profile is still here
The Breaker
I'll recommend one of my favorites, Boys On The Run. This Seinen series makes Japan seem full of gangsters and lowlifes who make all the wrong decisions, but it's still an interesting and (most importantly) ENGAGING read. It's pretty mature, so I don't know if you're old enough for me to recommend this to you, but you could say manga in itself is an unrated experience.

As the sun began to set on a muggy Tuesday evening, the members of the Worcester Hurling Club trudged off their practice field at Lake Park, hands on hips, exhausted from one of coach Francis Maloney's rigorous practices.
The 7 p.m. practice began with a brief warm-up, akin to playing catch in baseball. Practice ended at 8:30 after the team went through a 30-minute scrimmage. In between there were about 45 minutes of drills in which the 16 Worcester hurlers completed a variety of grueling sprinting exercises.
"At the beginning of the season, we all would have been throwing up," said captain Patrick Heffernan, noting that no vomiting occurred during this practice.
The team's acclimation to the demanding practices orchestrated by Maloney is just another example of how far the Worcester Hurling Club has come since its inaugural season in the summer of 2010.
On Aug. 24, the players will have the opportunity to prove that more than just their conditioning has improved, when they will compete in their first Northeast Region Junior C Hurling Championship in Canton.
"To the club it means an awful lot, because the lads have put so much into this year, not saying that they haven't done it every year, but their hurling has come on this year, it's unbelievable," Maloney said.
Hurling, according to Maloney, is "the fastest sport on ground," and "like a cross between field hockey and lacrosse," although it combines elements of baseball, rugby and golf as well. It also has a rich Irish history, with its origins dating back as many as 2,000 years.
"The thing that's great about hurling is that so many sports take facets from it," Jake Akremi said.
In order to accumulate points, a hurler must strike the sliotar, the ball, with the hurley, the stick, either above or into a goal that resembles a soccer net with the goal posts extended into the air. One point is awarded for hitting the ball over the net, and three points are awarded for hitting the ball into the net, which is guarded by a goalie.
"It's a beautiful game to play, hurling," Heffernan said. "It's kind of like people who play hockey into their 50s, and you don't know why they play. I got down to Marlboro and see them play and think 'Why are they out there? What's in it for them?' But it's just so much fun being out there."
The club began in 2010, when a cast of Massachusetts natives — most prominently Worcester's Dan Donahue — who had spent time in Ireland decided they wanted to bring one of the Irish's most popular sports to Worcester.
The project was not an instant success for Worcester as it struggled both on the playing field and in the recruitment of talent.
"We started off just playing eight kids on a field," assistant captain Dan Sweatland said. "So in only three years, coming this far is huge."
Last season, Worcester competed in the Junior C league for the first time and finished at 3-3.
"Last year we had a bad year," said Sweatland, who lives in Clinton. "Some practices we only had six people. This year we haven't had less than 16."
While Worcester struggled to achieve success and even field a team in its first three years, it has improved in both areas this year.
The roster of 28 men — the oldest 52, the youngest 19 — features a heavy Massachusetts contingent mixed with a few Irish.
"I've been really impressed with these kids who have never played before," said Heffernan, who came to Boston from Tipperary, Ireland, in 1994. "They love it, they take it up, and they want to play all the time and that to me is way more impressive than me wanting to play because the love of the game was bred into me."
Perhaps the most important change was having Maloney as coach this year. Worcester plucked the native of Clare, Ireland, from a Boston hurling club.
"He's a fantastic coach, he's been coaching for some time now and he's been putting us through the rigors, training us pretty hard," Heffernan said.
In just one year, Maloney has turned a hapless team into a powerhouse. Worcester has a 4-1-1 record, which includes a win and a tie against Concord, last year's National Hurling champion. Their only loss came in a tightly contested match with Portland. Worcester swept Hartford this year, the third team in Junior C.
With its tie against Concord on June 22, Worcester clinched first place in the league, guaranteeing a spot in the Northeast Junior C championship game. The tie also meant a first time qualification for the National Hurling tournament in Cleveland on Labor Day weekend.
"I think it's a dream come true that we've got this far. I think a lot of the guys didn't think we could do it," Maloney said. "Now that we're here they really believe that we can do it."
With Hartford doomed to finish last, Concord and Portland will battle for second place and the right to play Worcester in the championship game on Aug. 24. Portland currently sits in second place with six points, three ahead of Concord. Two of Concord's final three games come against Portland, however.
Worcester, which is sponsored by Galway Bay Irish Pub, also features a youth league primarily run by team president Aidan O'Shea.
"That's great to see, because the future of the game is with those kids," Heffernan said. "I don't know what's going to happen with the club, but if people keep showing up, we'll keep doing it every year."

Thanks Padma, I never thought you'd be putting me or anyone else down.I am not putting you down...it's a good question. But in perspective, it's also very funny.
You've been of great help to me in other questions and I thank you for your input in this conversation.
I guess in a way it is a funny question, but I had to ask.
And the world has changed in immense ways in the time this generation has been around.

However, the new H. habilis fossils discovered by Tim White in 1986 and given the name OH 62 demolished that claim. These fossil parts showed that, just like present-day apes, H. habilis had long arms and short legs. This fossil put an end to the claim that H. habilis was capable of walking upright.

New Car Review
2014 Honda Accord Hybrid & Plug-In Hybrid: New Car Review
For years, Honda has been a major player in hybrid cars. The brand kicked off the hybrid frenzy nearly 15 years ago with the release of the Insight, and its compact Civic Hybrid remains one of the most popular hybrid vehicles around. But Honda has never had a strong hybrid midsize sedan to rival the highly popular Toyota Camry Hybrid.
Oh, sure, Honda briefly offered an Accord Hybrid from 2005 to 2007 -- but it was nothing like the frugal new 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid. Instead, it was billed as a performance hybrid. It offered more power than any other Accord model, and fuel economy couldn't top rival hybrids, which were designed for efficiency rather than speed. Shoppers weren't convinced, and the model didn't last.
But Honda is finally making up for its lack of participation in the hybrid midsize sedan game for the 2014 model year. The latest Accord Hybrid brings gas and electric technology -- and it even gives shoppers two hybrid options. For drivers who don't mind spending a bit more to get the best available technology, there's a plug-in hybrid that can travel on electric power alone. For more mainstream shoppers, the standard Accord Hybrid should do the trick.
Regardless of which Accord you choose, both models represent the arrival of fuel-efficient hybrid technology in one of our favorite midsize sedans.
What's New for 2014?
The Honda Accord was redesigned for the 2013 model year. For 2014, the Accord Hybrid and Accord Plug-In Hybrid models debuted, bringing hybrid technology to the Accord lineup for the first time since 2007.
What We Like
Seamless hybrid experience; truly exceptional city fuel economy; no compromises for hybrid powerplant; Accord Hybrid priced well for the features
What We Don't
Plug-In Hybrid is expensive; Plug-In Hybrid range isn't long enough; Camry Hybrid has much lower entry price
How Much?
$29,800-$35,500 (Accord Hybrid); $40,500 (Accord Plug-In Hybrid)
Fuel Economy
Drivers who opt for the traditional Accord Hybrid get a 196-horsepower 2.0-liter hybrid 4-cylinder. It's mated to a continuously variable automatic, and it returns 50 miles per gallon in the city/45 mpg highway.
Choose the plug-in model and you'll get roughly the same engine, except with a twist: It can operate on electric power alone. City fuel economy drops to 47 mpg, while highway mileage increases to 46 mpg -- but the real benefit is an Environmental Protection Agency-rated 13 miles of fully electric range. If you have a short commute -- or if you can plug in at work -- you may only rarely need to use the gasoline engine.
Standard Features & Options
The regular Accord Hybrid is offered in three trims, which roughly mirror the top three trims of the traditional Accord lineup. There's an unnamed base trim (similar to the Accord EX), a mid-level EX-L model and a top-end Touring. Meanwhile, the Accord Plug-In Hybrid is offered with one trim level only.
Choose the base-level Accord Hybrid ($29,800) and you'll get dual-zone automatic climate control, 17-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, a rearview camera, Bluetooth and Bluetooth Audio, a power driver's seat, Honda's LaneWatch blind-spot camera and keyless entry with push-button start.
Upgrade to the EX-L ($32,500) and you get leather seats, a sunroof, heated front seats, auto-dimming mirrors, a power passenger's seat, satellite radio and a host of safety equipment such as an improved rearview camera, a forward-collision warning system and a lane-departure warning system.
Topping the Accord Hybrid lineup is the Touring ($35,500), which adds LED headlights, a navigation system with voice control and adaptive cruise control.
If you choose the Accord Plug-In Hybrid ($40,500), you'll get the same level of equipment in the Accord Hybrid Touring. That includes navigation, adaptive cruise control and all the features in the standard Accord Hybrid and the mid-level Accord Hybrid EX-L. Of course, you'll also be able to run on electric power alone, which the Accord Hybrid doesn't offer.
Standard on the 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid are anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control and curtain-side airbags. Hybrid models offer standard rearview and blind-spot cameras, along with available forward-collision warning and lane-departure warning systems. All those features are standard on the Accord Plug-In Hybrid.
While the government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has not yet tested the Accord Hybrid or Plug-In Hybrid, standard Accord models received five overall stars in the agency's crash tests. The rating includes five stars in the frontal-impact test, five stars in the side-impact test and four stars in the rollover test. We expect the Accord Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid to receive substantially similar ratings.
Behind the Wheel
The Accord Hybrid delivers exactly the driving feel you're looking for in a hybrid vehicle. In other words, the driving feel where you can't tell you're driving a hybrid vehicle at all. The system doesn't intrude, it isn't loud and you'd be forgiven if you forgot that you were driving a hybrid at all.
Acceleration in the Accord Hybrid is excellent -- though it suffers at higher speeds, like most hybrids. We'd say it's a little faster than the Camry Hybrid or the Fusion Hybrid, which are its two main competitors. Handling is a little better than the Camry and similar to the Fusion, though none of the cars boast sports-car-like drivability.
Other Cars to Consider
Ford Fusion Hybrid -- Like Honda, Ford offers two versions of the Fusion Hybrid: a traditional hybrid and a plug-in model that can be driven on electric power alone. Fuel economy is similar, though the plug-in Fusion has a range that's nearly 50 percent longer. The Fusion is also less expensive, though base-level Fusion Hybrid models are nowhere near as well-equipped as the Accord Hybrid.
Toyota Camry Hybrid -- There's no plug-in Camry, but the traditional model remains the most popular midsize hybrid around. We think that should change, though, since both the Fusion Hybrid and Accord Hybrid boast better gas mileage and newer designs. But there's no budget-priced Accord Hybrid, which means the base-level Camry Hybrid is less expensive.
Toyota Prius -- The Prius may be smaller than the Accord Hybrid, but its hatchback design means it's nearly as practical. And its fuel economy is just above the Accord Hybrid's, whether you consider the regular Prius or the Plug-In model.
AutoTrader's Advice
The Accord Hybrid is an excellent contender in the midsize hybrid sedan game. Unless you really want to drive on electric power, we'd recommend a standard hybrid model over the plug-in version. Among the Accord Hybrid trim levels, we'd choose the mid-level EX-L. It's one of the best luxury hybrids on the market, even though it's "just" a Honda.

The Kentucky Equine Youth Festival coming March 19 kicks off a year-long international celebration of the horse. Co-sponsored by the University of Kentucky's Equine Initiative and the University of Louisville's equine business program, the festival seeks to give youth a preview of the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games set to take place in Lexington this fall.
There is a huge debate raging in the nation now over who knows best to tell farmers how to raise their animals. I would like to share with you Farm Bureau's thoughts on the important legislation of Senate Bill 105. These are Farm Bureau's ideas for you to consider.
SB 105 would establish a Kentucky Livestock Care Commission. This commission would establish livestock and poultry on farm care standards for Kentucky farmers.
For the 14th year, Washington County college-bound youth who are currently 4-H members or FFA members or were a member their senior year in high school (within the last 5 years), have the opportunity to apply for the Dorrin and Ruth Ross Scholarship. The scholarship was originally established in 1991 to enable 4-H and FFA members to pursue higher education through full or part-time attendance at any public or nonprofit independent college or university in the United States. Scholarships are awarded to defray the cost of tuition and books.
An upcoming opportunity for 4-Her's interested in livestock is the 4-H livestock judging program. In this project, 4-H members learn how to judge cattle, sheep and hogs.
The first clinic and contest will be the Washington County Invitational Livestock Judging Clinic and Contest held on Saturday, March 13 at the Washington County Livestock Center.
Any 4-H member interested in participating will need to complete the February 22 training at the Washington County Extension office from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Did you know that the eastern mole (Scalopus aquaticus), so prevalent in Kentucky lawns, gardens and pastures, is not a rodent? The mole belongs to the order of mammals called Insectivores, the insect eaters. Their food is chiefly earthworms, but they also feed on grubs, ants, beetles, slugs, snails, spiders, and centipedes etc. In other words, to control moles by removing their food source, you would need an almost sterile soil. The mole seldom eats vegetable matter but causes its damage by uprooting turf, vegetables or other plants.
Feeder cattle markets opened 2010 a bit stronger than they closed 2009, and got some nice support from USDA's annual crop production summary during the second week of January.
Estimates surprised the markets, placing the 2009 corn crop larger than 2007's record level. CME corn contracts traded down about $0.40 per bushel in the days that followed, and have trended further down since then. Kentucky feeder cattle prices moved up by $5-$10 per cwt from their pre-Christmas levels and have been further supported by improved fed cattle prices.
When planning your activities for summer break, don't forget to add a 4-H summer camp to the list.
Kentucky 4-H summer camps offer an array of activities for young people. They can catch everything from fish to butterflies; identify trees and critters during nature hikes; learn to swim; use a canoe; take part in shooting sports; make arts and crafts and participate in challenge courses. Youth will also have the chance to sing and dance, make new friends and have fun.
Now is the second best time of year to sow grass seed for lawn establishment. You can go ahead and do this from now through early April. The best time to establish a lawn is September, provided that we have adequate rainfall.

12 of the area track coaches joined us on the Coaches Corner Saturday morning following the first week of outdoor track season and all of them were generally happy with their times this early in the season, including Washington's Steve Roth.
"We (the coaches) were talking Thursday night after the meet that we're really running better times now than we were last year at this time. The warm weather gave us some great training time."
Every track team will have a much busier week this week, starting with a big event Monday at Lone Tree where boys coach Regan Stone is preparing for several area teams.
"We have Waco coming in; we have Highland coming in, IMS, L&M and Keota. We're going to have seven teams there so we're looking forward to it."
The relay had to be pushed back to this Monday due to weather causing a few teams to squeeze three meets in this week, including back-to-back Monday and Tuesday. Because of the pushed back date and some kids returning from a trip to Florida, Keota girls coach Dan Stout says this meet will have a different feel to it than usual.
"It's going to be more of a practice-type setting for some of our kids because I'm sure they havn't done a lot of running around down there at Universal Studios and things like that so it'll be a little different for us on Monday and Tuesday."

Proclaimed by the City of Los Angeles as "LA's Only Legal Orchestra," the Los Angeles Lawyers Philharmonic held its first rehearsal on January 19, 2009 with 30 legal musicians and performed its debut concert on January 30, 2009. Since then, the orchestra has grown to 75 members and performed more than 30 concerts, raising thousands of dollars to benefit those who cannot afford legal services and for other charitable purposes.
On April 30, 2011, Legal Voices held its first rehearsal. Three months later, the chorus debuted with the LA Lawyers Phil at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Consisting of more than 100 members, Legal Voices gave a triumphant performance of the finale of Beethoven's 9th Symphony, the Ode To Joy. On that date, the County of Los Angeles proclaimed the Los Angeles Lawyers Philharmonic and Legal Voices as "LA's Only Legal Orchestra and Chorus."
On July 21, 2012, the orchestra and chorus collaborated under the baton of Maestro Greene for a critically acclaimed performance of Carmina Burana to a sold-out Walt Disney Concert Hall.
These musical organizations are where lawyers, judges, law students and legal staff meet in harmony. The members include conservatory graduates, professional musicians and some hobbyists who are dusting off instruments they played in their youth. Others are harmonizing, using their voices that are more commonly heard in courtrooms than on concert stages. Nevertheless, the music prevails. The orchestra and chorus perform on a professional level in LA's major concert venues. They are a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. For more information, visit www.LALawyersPhil.org

Greek public sector shuts down for 2-day strike
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Thousands of civil servants marched through the Greek capital and the second largest city of Thessaloniki on Wednesday, as a two-day nationwide strike against planned job cuts shut down all public services.
Schools and courts were closed and hospitals were functioning with reduced staff. Trains were halted for four hours, and journalists joined in with a three-hour work stoppage, pulling news broadcasts off the air.
The walkouts are the first widespread strike action after the summer period and aim to put pressure on the coalition government to repeal unpopular austerity measures required as part of the country's international bailout. Officials have vowed not to back down.
Government plans call for the suspension on partial pay of 25,000 civil servants this year in a drive to reduce the size of the public sector and meet conditions to continue receiving rescue loans. Many of those suspended are expected to eventually lose their jobs.
"We are being laid off. It's very unfair because now with the crisis there are no jobs," said Christina Mavropoulou, a cleaner from a tax office in the northern Greek town of Veria, as she protested outside the finance ministry in central Athens. "We can't find jobs anywhere. We all have families that are depending on us. We have spouses who are unemployed, children, so we're here to protest."
Several thousand protesters were marching through central Athens, while another 10,000 were demonstrating in Thessaloniki.
The country has been depending on bailout loans from the International Monetary Fund and other European countries since May 2010. In return, it has implemented a series of strict austerity measures to reform its economy.
They have included deep cuts to state salaries and pensions and repeated rounds of tax hikes, measures which many blame for prolonging a deep recession that is now in its sixth year. Unemployment is above 27 percent, the highest in the European Union, while it reaches nearly 60 percent for those under the age of 25.
"Strikes are temporary, no matter how long they last. The consequences of the government's measures are permanent," said Themis Kotsifakis, president of the teachers' union.
Debt inspectors from the IMF, European Commission and European Central Bank, jointly known as the "troika," are due back in Athens to review progress on reforms next week.
The country's main private sector union was joining the strike with a four-hour work stoppage in the middle of the day, while two demonstrations were planned for central Athens: one by a Communist Party-backed union in the morning and the other by the main civil servants' union at around midday.
High school teachers have also embarked on rolling five-day strikes, while state hospital doctors walked off the job for three days from Tuesday.
Raphael Kominis in Athens contributed.
