Windows are often dramatically undervalued when people think about their home's exterior. By the use of color contrast between the sashes and the window frames, the type of trim used around the window and the potential use of shutters or flowerboxes, windows can become the second most important sustainer of interest in your home beyond the entry. When embraced by the various trim and siding elements mentioned earlier, windows can become the final complementary embellishment to the outside presence of your home.
When you get the chance to do a home remodel, most of your attention is likely to be spent on the fun and interesting parts of the remodel, like the windows and the doors. The reality is that the parts of the exterior remodel that need the most attention are also the least glamorous and may have very little attention paid to them when the remodel is finished; however, if you spend the extra time and money in these places, your home will stay protected for a long time. Here are three places where you should spend extra time and money.
The roof is one of the largest areas of the home's exterior, but it is something that is usually only noticed when something goes wrong. The roof is the most important safeguard that your home has from weather damage, and it must be given adequate care and attention. During the remodel do not skimp on the price of your roofing materials. You should use the best materials that you can afford, as these materials will be able to stand up to more extreme weather conditions and protect the roof and the interior of the home from damage that can occur when the roof fails. In Pennsylvania you also need to be on the look out for mold resistant shingles, or else you could end up with a roof that has large black mold spots.
Though you will spend a lot of time finding the right windows and doors to go with your exterior remodel, the frames that those items go into are much more important. A lot of the costs associated with heating and cooling a home come from conditioned air that leaks out of the home and into the world. Keeping the doors and windows shut will reduce that leakage, but the frames still allow some air to go through. During the exterior remodel, check to make sure that the windows and doors are framed correctly and that you cannot see daylight between the frame and the window or door. Tight seals will keep the air that you want inside your home and keep the air that you are avoiding on the outside.

"American Pie" singer Don McLean fined for speeding
ROCKLAND, Maine "American Pie" singer Don McLean has been fined $400 for driving his Chrysler too fast through a school zone in Maine and has paid the levy.
McLean had contested the charge in September, saying school zone warning lights weren't flashing. He had requested a trial.
Police said during a 40-minute proceeding in Rockland District Court on Thursday the warning lights were flashing.
Judge Patricia Worth found McLean had been speeding in a school zone in Rockport. But she lowered what would be a $515 fine if uncontested to $400.
McLean immediately paid up.
McLean lives in nearby Camden, along Maine's coast. He burst into popularity in 1971 with his hit "American Pie," about the deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper in a plane crash on Feb. 3, 1959 The Day the Music Died.

Szczesny talks up Arsenal chances
Arsenal remain convinced they can win the Barclays Premier League this year, according to goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
Arsenal blew the chance to move back to the top of the table on Monday when they drew 0-0 against rivals Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners were five points clear at one point last month, but Liverpool are now top of the pile approaching the halfway point.
Szczesny joined Arsenal in 2006 - a year after the Gunners won their last trophy.
He knows the last eight years have been hard for the club's fans and he is determined to make sure this is the year the supporters' agony ends.
"I'm very positive," said the Arsenal goalkeeper when asked to assess the team's chances of winning their first league title since 2004.
"We want to win trophies this time.
"The mood around the club is much better than it was at the start of the season. People maybe didn't believe in this team as much as they do now.
"Our confidence is still quite high and we believe that we can go and do it this year. We're looking forward to proving that.
"I don't think the belief within the group was ever missing. This year we've just been more consistent.
"That's made all the difference. We have to keep it going.
"Winning the first trophy is so important. We've been missing a trophy for quite a few years and that's not good enough for such a big club.
"But we enjoy the pressure because we believe that we can be the team that will deliver for the fans and for the club."
Arsenal take on West Ham at Upton Park on Boxing Day and they then face Newcastle, Aston Villa, Cardiff, Fulham and Southampton before the end of January.
Szczesny reckons the coming days may well decide who tops the table come May.
"This Christmas period is going to have a huge bearing on the season," the Pole said.
"The games are coming thick and fast. You know that teams will drop points.
"We've had a very tough run recently and now we've got a lot of games coming up and we want to take advantage of the fact that the big teams are playing against each other.
"Liverpool play Chelsea and Man City (on Boxing Day), so we want to collect our points and be right there at the top come the new year."
Lukas Podolski returned to the Arsenal bench against Chelsea following a four-month lay-off, but Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is reluctant to start the Germany striker at Upton Park.
Laurent Koscielny could return, though, after sitting out the Chelsea game because of a cut to his knee.
Midfielder Mikel Arteta suffered swelling to his right ankle following two strong tackles against the Blues, but he is expected to be fit for the London derby.

This video zooms in from a view of the southern constellation Tucana to the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, which sits 16,700 light-years away from Earth. 47 Tucanae is 10.5 billion years old and is one of the brightest of our Milky Way galaxy's more than 150 globular clusters. Astronomers used Hubble Space Telescope images to accurately measure the changes in positions of more than 30,000 stars in 47 Tucanae. Linking these stars' ages and their orbital dynamics allowed researchers to identify two distinct generations of stars in the cluster. The Milky Way's globular clusters are the surviving relics from our galaxy's formation, and this analysis offers scientists better insight into the early history of our galaxy.

Simple Configuration Recommendation
From PostgreSQL wiki
PostgreSQL Configuration Recommendations
Administration of database environments requires resources from separate disciplines. Database administrators (DBA) must work closely with the system and storage administrators. PostgreSQL relies heavily on the host operating system (OS) for storage management. It does not have the advanced and complicated features of Oracle for storage management.
These recommendations are to standardize and simplify PostgreSQL database configurations.
Software Location and Ownership
The common location for PostgreSQL software on Linux is /usr/local/pgsql with the executables, source, and data existing in various subdirectories. However, PostgreSQL is open source software and whoever the distributor, packager, or supporter will have their recommendations as to where to place the software and what account owns the software.
Prefer available packages for your operating system over compiling the server locally. The packages have been developed to integrate well into the operating system, neglecting their use means you have to re-do the work that went into creating the packages. (The recommendations here do not necessarily align with the packager's choice of options. When choosing which way to follow, stick with a consistent set.)
The owner and group of the software, database files, and server processes should be postgres:dba. The UID and GID have to be worked out with system administration.
Create a base software destination directory:
Define the software installation using the first 2 digits of the software version (9.0 as the example):
Be advised upgrading with the third digit in the version number usually entails stopping the server, switching to the new software, and restarting the server. However, upgrading the first or second digit requires an upgrade of all of the data files. Keeping the software versions separate helps with upgrades.
Single Cluster and Database per Server
The following database objects are cluster wide within PostgreSQL, having only one database per cluster is preferable:
- Configuration files
- WAL (on-line and archived) files
- Tablespaces
- User accounts and roles
- Server log file
An older style of database object separation was through the use of multiple databases. An alternate and more manageable method to separate database objects within a single database server is through the use of schemas.
To separate PostgreSQL clusters within a server different data areas and IP port numbers need to be created. However, the virtualization capabilities of the OSes like Solaris's zones and FreeBSD jails or hypervisors like Xen and KVM make creation of multiple clusters within a single host unnecessary. The recommendation is to have only one PostgreSQL cluster per virtualized host.
File System Layouts
To create the most flexible and manageable environment, separate the various database components into their own file systems. Create the following file systems (mount points):
|DB Archive location containing the archive log files.
|DB Backup location containing the physical and logical backups. For logical backups (pg_dump), use EXPORTS as a sub directory. For physical backups, use FULL{date}, convention for the sub directory. However, physical backups could be handled with file system snapshots. More on this later.
|PostgreSQL Cluster data directory (PGDATA environment variable). This will contain all of the configuration files and directories of a PostgreSQL cluster. Note: the on-line WAL files would be located in /pgcluster/pg_xlog.
|The location of the server log files.
|The location of a database's default tablespace. This is to be used at the creation of the database. The database catalog information will be stored.
|The location of the database's default temporary tablespace. This is needed for temporary sort information. Note: The pgsql_tmp directory within the default tablespace will be used if a temporary tablespace is not defined.
|Application tablespaces. For every schema there should be a minimum of two tablespaces. One for tables and one for indexes.
PostgreSQL does not have declarative size limitations for its tablespaces and database objects; the OS is expected to manage the size of used devices. This is why it is recommended to create a separate mount point (file system) for every tablespace. This adds a layer of complexity especially in organizations that segregate storage and OS management from database management. However, that level of complexity is outweighed by the advantage of separation and segregation of database objects.
It is desirable for the file system growth and management to be in the form of distributed administration. A DBA would be given a set of disk groups within a volume manager and then carve up the file systems accordingly. ZFS is an example of a file system that has delegated administration.
Server Configuration Information
Use "Continuous Archiving" for Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR).
archive_mode = on archive_command = 'cp %p /pgarchive/%f' wal_level = 'archive'
Setup a server log file rotation. (7 days or 10MB, whichever comes first)
log_directory = '/pgcluster/log' log_filename = 'postgresql-%Y%m%d_%H%M%S.log' log_rotation_age = 7d log_rotation_size = 10MB log_truncate_on_rotation = off log_line_prefix = '%t c% '
Gather connection information in server log file.
log_connections = on log_disconnections = on
Log DDL transactions.
log_statement = 'ddl'
Enable SSL traffic.
ssl = on ssl_ciphers = 'ALL'
Either drop the default postgres database or deny remote connections to it.
Create a database to place application schemas within. Drop the public schema.
Account Management
Avoid connecting to the database server as the database superuser, postgres. Management processes, like backups, will most likely still use the postgres account; however users and applications should not. Allow only local connections to the postgres database user. Note: In version 9.1 using the authentication model within pg_hba.conf of local with auth-option peer is the most preferable.
Create individual accounts for all the users that will be connecting directly to the database. DBAs will need superuser privileges, deployment representatives will need privileges to manipulate schema object definitions, developers will need select privileges on application objects to diagnose production issues.
Where possible use centralized enterprise accounts (i.e., LDAP) for user account authentication.
Create accounts to be synonymous with application schemas. Avoid connecting to those schema accounts. In fact where possible make the account NOLOGIN.
When users are deploying object definitions into the application schemas, they will need to have the appropriate privileges. Granting those users the role of the application schema is sufficient to allow this activity. Make sure that for any newly created object the ownership is set to the account that matches the schema.
To ease management of accounts, use roles for granting privileges to users versus direct grants.
Generally applications connect to the database using pooled (shared) accounts. Make sure those accounts can only connect to the database from the defined application servers. Users should not be allowed to log directly into the database using those pooled accounts.
Physical Database Backups
To perform on-line backups it is important that the database be in archive log mode. Refer to the Continuous Archiving and Point-In-Time Recovery chapter in the PostgreSQL reference manual.
Using an advanced file system like ZFS that has snapshot/rollback capabilities has some significant advantages. Placing the database in hot backup mode, snapshoting the file systems that make up the database storage, and taking the database out of backup mode is preferable to using tar or cpio to copy all of the data files to an alternate location during the backup process.
After the snapshots have been taken coping the data files to an alternate location for safe keeping is still an option; however, the database is only in hot backup mode for a short amount of time while the snapshot is taken. For most recovery situations using the on-line backups (the snapshots) is used instead of "pulling from tape".
File system delegated administration is an advantage for management of the file system snapshots. DBAs will have to coordinate with the system and storage administration to facilitate the best practices.

Okay that's enough
I think this has really gone too far. We have people on both sides of this ridiculous argument making death threats and worse. Kara was certainly upset to see someone mention on Twitter last night that it would be funny to come to my house and murder my wife and children. I know there are people who see themselves as being on our side that have made equally disgusting comments in the other direction. I want to make it very clear that I do not approve of this kind of bullshit.
I am certainly guilty of being snarky, sarcastic and rude. I apologize if that gave anyone the impression that I would ever condone this sort of behavior. If you are out there making these sorts of threats thinking that you are somehow doing our good work, please stop. I never should have engaged them at all much less the way I did. Obviously Courtney Stanton has been very vocal about her dislike of us and our behavior. But she is not censoring us, she has not stripped away our freedom of speech. She didn't even have anything to do with our decision to remove the shirt. I'm sure she is just as upset with the threats being made by people who consider themselves her supporters. So I'm asking you to please leave her alone.
Personally I'm done with this argument and I'm asking you all to be done with it as well. Don't go read the blogs, don't respond to the Tweets, just let it go. Thank You.

Attention homeowners: I received my property taxes for the next year and they went up $196.06 — almost $200 — over last year. I've never seen such outrageous raises on property taxes in one year. For businesses I could understand.
I called Alfonso Ortiz, the San Miguel County treasurer, and he said the East Las Vegas schools had made a mistake in their intake of taxes last year, so we the taxpayer had to make up the difference this year, and next year they would go down again. I told him if the schools made the mistake make them account for it, not us.

Other winners … Lippa Jr, Catalano and Eck
PERRY, NY – The weather was a little cool on Opening Night but the racing action was hot as Wyoming County International Speedway opened the gates for the first time in 2010. It was Meet the Drivers/Meet the Angels night as the SST Angels were on hand to meet and greet the fans that were anxiously awaiting the start of the racing action.
Joe Evans and Andy Jankowiak led the competitive field of SST Modifieds to the start of the 35 lap affair with Jankowiak getting the early advantage. Side by side action all over the 1/3rd mile led to the first caution of the night as Amy Catalano and John Julicher, Jr. ran side by side with Catalano ending up in the turn one wall. After the restart, Andy J continued to lead the way and Bill Romasser got sideways and backed it into the turn one guardrail. Cautions bleed cautions as Joe Evans and Patrick Emerling came together in turn 2 and Evans did a slide job through the infield grass and it was a great job not to slide back onto the racing surface. Andy J led from start to finish to pick up the win over John Barber and John Julicher Jr completed the top 3.
Defending SST Series and WCIS track champ Bobby Lippa, Jr. and Jeremy Gray led the field for the start of the 25 lap race for the SST Super Stocks. Austyn Fugle lost the handle in his 36 machine off of turn two on the green race track. Lippa continued to pull away from the field but no one was able to make an attempt to pass the 2009 speedway champion. Lippa led all 25 laps with Phil Alhardt, Jr. finishing in second and Mike Chenaille came home in third.
Tommy Catalano and Kevin Grom were on the front row for the start of the 20 lap 4 Cylinder feature with Catalano taking advantage of his front row starting spot and he led every single lap to take his first career win on the 1/3rd mile bullring. Action all over the speedway but nobody had a series challenge for the 14 year old from Ontario as Catalano would cross the line first with Charles Buchanan in second followed by Kevin Grom.
Jason Eck picked up the win in the Mini Cup division in his first start in the division. "Nice job after getting the car last Thursday (May 6th)†said Eck in victory lane while being interviewed by Jim Majchrzak. Kennedy White was second in her best career finish at the Bullring and Daniel Majchrzak coming in third.
Next Friday night, the SST Super Stocks will take center stage as they will run the first extra distance race of the season in a 50 lap affair. The SST Modifieds, 4 Cylinders and the Mini Cups will round out the racing card on FOAR SCORE Club night. For more information, you can call the speedway office at 585-237-2580 or you can visit WCIS on the world wide web at www.wyomingcountyinternationalspeedway.com.

A large contingent of police officers kept a close eye on the south Surrey funeral of longtime gangster Thomas Gisby on Friday. About 75 mourners attended the service at Victory Memorial Park near 148th Street and 28th Avenue. Gisby, 47, was gunned down in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico on April 28 after ordering his coffee at a local Starbucks. Police believe the slaying of the crime kingpin could be linked to the tit-for-tat violence that has plagued B.C. since the Kelowna murder last August of Red Scorpion Jon Bacon and wounding of Hells Angel Larry Amero and Independent Soldier James Riach. Supt. Tom McCluskie, head of the Gang Task Force, said at the time that tensions over the Kelowna shooting had led to retaliation against the so-called Dhak-Duhre group. For more than a decade, Gisby had a close relationship with senior Hells Angels in B.C. But he more recently had been aligned with people in the Dhak group. Sukh Dhak, out on bail on a number of drug charges, attended the funeral Friday with his associate Thomas Mantle. Dhak tried to shield his face from media cameras as he entered the chapel. Also in attendance was Michael Taff, linked to Langley's Empire Gang, and Gisby associate Glen Sheck, currently out on bail on gun charges. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger said police were there to ensure the safety of the public and of those attending the service. "First and foremost we are here to ensure the safety of the people who are coming to pay their respects to Mr. Gisby," Grainger said. "Because of Mr. Gisby's background and associations in the criminal element, there of course is the potential for rival competitors in the criminal world to maybe attend here and maybe settle some scores." More than a dozen cops from Surrey's Gang Enforcement Unit and the regional Gang Task Force checked identification and chatted up guests as they entered the service. Other officers drove marked cars around the memorial park's perimeter and blocked some entrances to the compound. And some police could be seen searching the adjacent bushes where area residents were out enjoying the Semiahmoo Trail. Grainger said police were in dialogue with Gisby's family in advance of the event to let them know they would be present. "Whenever we have figures such as Mr. Gisby who have passed away, we have a robust police presence at their funerals, not only in Surrey, but throughout the region," Grainger said. He said police were also gathering intelligence about who attended and with whom they arrived. "That's no secret. It's an opportunity for the police to gather intelligence, and the latest photographs of some of the people we believe are involved in the criminal world. That is certainly a strategy that is employed here as well," Grainger said. Victory Memorial Park funeral director Kari Landreville said no one minded the heavy police presence. "They are here to protect our community," she said. "They are here to protect us. They are here to protect the people arriving for a service." Gisby's family did not respond to a media request for an interview after the service. But they remembered him in an obituary published in The Vancouver Sun as "a kind & generous spirit & will be remembered by many." It said his murder "leaves a hole in our hearts that can never be filled." "His infectious smile & beautiful twinkling brown eyes will be missed every day," it said. "Rest in peace Grumpy, our hearts are absolutely broken & we will miss you every day."

Candidate presented by: Ms. Janice Simmons-Welburn, Dean of Libraries
Kathleen Huston believes that libraries have the power to change lives. As the former City Librarian for the City of Milwaukee, she has not only seen the contributions that libraries can make to literacy, education, jobs, lifelong learning, and the greater good, but she has actively worked to inspire these changes and contributions within the public library system and within the greater Milwaukee community at large.
Ms. Huston's career with the Milwaukee Public Library System (MPLS) began in 1969, shortly after she graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During her tenure with MPLS, she worked in several different branches and departments, including her years as branch manager of the Llewellyn and Mill Road libraries, Central Library's Humanities Coordinator, Assistant City Librarian, and finally, City Librarian, a position she held from 1991 until her retirement in 2006.
The years under Ms. Huston's guiding hand were marked by many changes for the library system and its services. Not only did she oversee the renovations of the Central Library building and several neighborhood libraries, but she directed the construction of two new libraries within the MPLS network. She was also instrumental in initiating the electronic conversion of the card catalogue and the introduction of computers into Milwaukee libraries. She ushered the library system into the electronic information era with a keen eye for anticipating the needs and desires of library patrons. By providing both free Internet access and free computer education classes to the public, instituting a library website, and establishing MPL as the first public library in Wisconsin to offer wireless access to its patrons, Ms. Huston left a lasting legacy in the way Milwaukee citizens are able to access library resources and information in the digital age.
Soon after her appointment as City Librarian, Ms. Huston embarked upon a series of initiatives designed to increase literacy in the Milwaukee community. Some programs sought to improve adult and minority literacy, "Milwaukee Reads" and "Read About Me", for example, while others focused on children and literacy. Introducing children to the library is a special priority for Ms. Huston, and many of her programs have been geared toward improving literacy in children, enhancing library service for developmentally challenged youth ("Learning for All"), and developing early literacy awareness through cooperative partnerships which provide educational resources to child care providers ("Books2Go").
Over the years Ms. Huston has also played a large role in the business community of Milwaukee. Her partnerships with the Business Journal as well as other large employers resulted in both the "Business Breakfast" series and "Innovators, Experts, and Entrepreneurs" programs, which have served to increase awareness of the role MPL is able to play in providing networking opportunities and other resources to businesses, professionals, and prospective small business owners. These partnerships with local businesses have also provided funding for other community/library programs, including a venture which led to MPL's 2007 award from the Public Policy Forum for providing free computer classes (in English and Spanish) to the public.
Ms. Huston has also been the recipient of the 2006 Public Policy Forum Salute to Local Government Norman N. Gill Award for Individual Excellence, the 2003 Distinguished Alumna Award from Edgewood College, the 1999 "It Takes a Whole Village" award from the Milwaukee Community Journal newspaper, and the 1995 Wisconsin Library Association President's Award, each in recognition of her efforts to transform MPL into the valuable community resource that it is today. She has also worked tirelessly with local government officials to offer counsel on the challenges that have faced Milwaukee in recent years, lobbying for increased resources and services to improve the library's technology, maintain or increase hours of operation, and preserve the library system for the Milwaukee area and its residents.
For Kathleen Huston, libraries have the power to change lives. For the citizens of Milwaukee, Kathleen Huston embodies that power, and she has changed the lives of countless numbers. Because of her excellent work with the Milwaukee Public Library and the entire Milwaukee community, Reverend President, I hereby recommend Kathleen Huston for the Marquette University degree of Doctor of Letters honoris causa.

I dont know much about this but I got it from Home Depot a while back. Its a bedding plant that got overgrown.
I'll try to find out the name, they sell loads of them.
Got these in 2010 but they quickly died or at least were out grown by the weeds. Hopefully it will do better in its second year.
This is doing better than I thought, however, I only realise that after I chopped half of it up!!! Oh well, its still alive and it seems to be woddying up, BUT it doesnt look like much, its really hard not to confuse it with all the other weeds in the garden.

Another go in Durham?
The NCAA has granted an extra year of eligibility for Duke's men's lacrosse players. The 33 players who were on the team in 2006 when Duke's season was cancelled, but were not seniors, will receive a fifth year of eligibility. This is an interesting decision because, in my opinion, the fault for the cancellation lies with Duke's administration. The NCAA must have concluded either that cancellation was a reasonable decision »
Monster Or No Monster?
A video made by an "amateur scientist" surfaced today from Scotland. It was filmed at Loch Ness, and purports to show the long-rumored "monster." I suppose I could be fooled as easily as the next guy, but the video seems fairly compelling. Here it is: I'd always been dismissive of Loch Ness stories, but we were in Scotland a few years ago, staying just off the southern end of the »
Al Qaeda Today
The Telegraph has an interesting article on the current status of al Qaeda: For several years after the terrorist attacks on September 11, [bin Laden and al Qaeda's "core" group] were engaged in little else than avoiding capture and fleeing the American-led offensive in Afghanistan. Today, by contrast, they are probably secure enough to give strategic direction to al-Qa'eda cells across the world. The Telegraph's reporter, David Blair, says that »

I'm taking a break at a continuing legal education program where I'm fulfilling the requirement of the Minnesota rules to get my mind right by taking two hours on "the elimination of bias" in the legal profession.

From Baghdad comes news of a popular uprising against al Qaeda: A battle raged in west Baghdad on Thursday after residents rose up against al-Qaida and called for U.S. military help to end random gunfire that forced people to huddle indoors and threats that kept students from final exams, a member of the district council said. U.S. forces backed by helicopter gunships clashed with suspected al- Qaida gunmen in western »
An Evening with Fred Thompson, Part Two

He adds that "when speaking to a friendly audience or ruminating off the record, [Thompson] does not look or sound like the GOP's announced candidates for president" and »
Syria in the dock

Hillary Clinton gave a remarkable speech in New Hampshire this week, serving up fair warning of what a Clinton restoration would mean.

Ms. Hillary claims the mantle of the Progressives for herself. She sees economic inequality and wants to level that playing field. We've heard the »

That is in fact what seems to have occurred. The »
Is there any substitute for creating a Palestinian state?
Secretary of State Rice tells Israel that there isn't, as she tries to discourage the Israelis from pursuing a peace agreeemnt with Syria and abandoning "the Palestinian track." But I can think of a substitute for creating a Palestinian state — not creating one. That substitute, whenever coupled with the will to crack down on Palestinian terrorists, has served Israel resaonably well over the years. To comment on this post, »
Immediate jaundice
In an excellent move, President Bush has appointed Robert Zoellick to head the World Bank. Zoellick, the former U.S. trade representative and deputly secretary of state, is widely respected. However, that's not the reason why, in my judgment, he's an excellent choice. The reason instead is that, as the Washington Post reports, selecting Zoellick has "dismayed" the Europeans and World Bank bureaucrats. Said one senior World Bank official: People think »
Can Giuliani Win Over Social Conservatives?
A couple of years ago, the conventional wisdom was that Rudy Giuliani would be a formidable Presidential candidate, but could never get the Republican nomination because of his liberal views on some social issues. I believe that we were among the first to question this assumption, noting that Giuliani is conservative on some social issues (notably, crime) and, more important, could win the support of a broad range of Republicans »

In his post from earlier today, John comments on the anti-Americanism on display in Mexico City during the Miss Universe pageant. But one need not journey to Mexico to find displays of anti-Americanism among some Mexicans and Mexican-Americans.

An evening with Fred Thompson
Last night, I had the privilege of attending a dinner with Fred Thompson and his wife, along with two or three dozen journalists and fellow travelers (to cover my case). Thompson's statements were off the record, but I can report my overall impressions. First, Thompson exudes the same great presence and ease of manner in person that he does on television. He's likeable and quick with the good one-liner. Second, »
Fallout from the Miss Universe Pageant
I covered the Miss Universe pageant just for fun, not because I expected it to generate a political story. But it did, as the Mexico City crowd's rudeness to Miss USA angered many observers and took on symbolic importance in the context of the current debate over immigration. Michelle Malkin made the incident the subject of her syndicated column this week. Today, ABC News reports on the story. They get »
Democracy and disgust, part 2
Yesterday I wrote about the Iraqi/American meeting with Iran over the weekend. I wrote before learning of the subsequent Iranian detention of three American citizens on espionage charges. According to the New York Post, the State Department blasted the charges as "absurd." But has it remembered to say "please" in asking for the release of our fellow citizens? And does it think it's time to go back to the table »

|Can your music playlist affect your cardiovascular health? In a presentation this week at the Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association, researchers reported on a small study in which they found that listening to music that brought the listener feelings of joy was enough to dilate blood vessels, increasing blood flow. Listening to music that people found stressful had the opposite effect, causing blood vessels to constrict. Previous work by the team looked at the effects of laughter on vascular health. In this segment, we'll talk about how the brain and body are linked, and just how your choice of listening material might affect the size of your blood vessels.

What I expect to Happen?
When playing the game I expect the ship images that overlay the inner ship view to load when creating a ship.
What Actually happens?
When I go to start a new game, and get to the ship selection screen, there are no ship assets. All ships are the same. Then when you do the first battle the game crashes because it is unable to render any ships.
Steps taken to try and resolve the issue?
- Started a new game.
- Uninstall and re-install the game.
- Uninstall the game, delete the installer, re-download, and re-install the game.
All failed to resolve the problem.
