Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
26 Dec 2011 04:39 GMT | Politics, Asia Pacific, US & Canada, China, Japan
Yoshihiko Noda, the Japanese prime minister, has reached Beijing for a bilateral meeting, but regional security - after the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il - is expected to be high on agenda.
"I would also like to make sure that Japan and China will work closely so that the peace and stability on the Korean peninsula will not be negatively impacted," the Japanese prime minister said on Sunday.
Noda will hold talks with China's President Hu Jintao and Prime Minister Wen Jiabao during the visit, his first since coming to power in September.
Ties between the two regional powers have been dogged by economic and territorial disputes, but Kim's death has shifted the agenda to global worries about nuclear-armed North Korea, where Kim's young son Kim Jong-Un appears to be taking the reins of the state.
Noda is the first foreign leader to meet China's leaders since Kim's death, and he will emphasise the need to get stalled six-party talks on North Korea's nuclear programme back on track.
The six-party talks, chaired by China and also involving the two Koreas, the US, Russia and Japan, have been at a standstill since December 2008.
Pyongyang walked out of the talks in 2009, and conducted a second nuclear-test, but now wants to re-engage in return for food aid from Washington.
Last year, Pyongyang also was blamed for two military attacks on South Korea that heightened tensions on the peninsula.
Territorial disputes
Japan, having no ties with the North, needs China's support to engage Pyongyang. China backs the regime and supplies it with food aid and much of its energy resources.
Yang Jiechi, the Chinese foreign minister, this week held telephone talks with his counterparts in the US, South Korea, Russia and Japan after Kim's death.
The two neighbours are also expected to discuss issues including territorial and energy field disputes in the East China Sea, particularly the development of gas fields near the disputed islands called Senkaku in Japanese and Diaoyu in Chinese.
"I would like to hold discussions so as to deepen the strategically mutually beneficial relations between Japan and China," Noda told reporters in Tokyo.
Japan has repeatedly expressed concern over China's widening naval reach in the Pacific and over what it calls the "opaqueness" of Beijing's military budget.
'Catastrophic consequences'
Meanwhile, North Korea has lashed out at the South for a perceived lack of respect towards Kim Jong-il, as it reported more scenes of mass grieving in the isolated communist state for the late leader.
Saying the whole world is in mourning for "a peerlessly great man", the North for the second time in three days blasted the South over its response to Kim's sudden death on December 17.
There would be "unpredictable catastrophic consequences" for cross-border relations unless Seoul eases restrictions on condolence visits by South Koreans to Pyongyang, it said.
The South blames its neighbour for two deadly border incidents last year, but has taken a generally conciliatory stance since Monday's shock announcement of Kim's death.
The Seoul government sent its sympathies to the North's people, scrapped a controversial plan to display Christmas lights near the border and announced that South Koreans could send pre-approved condolence messages northwards.
On Saturday the North's ruling party hailed Jong-Un as "supreme commander", the latest sign that the untested youth in his late 20s is tightening his grip on power.
But the Kim dynasty's newest ruler remains a figure of mystery to the world, which is seeking clues to future policy in the nuclear-armed nation.
Fresh TV footage aired on Sunday showed Jong-Un and other top military and party officials paying respects at the glass coffin of his late father.
They included Jang Song-Thaek, Jong-Un's uncle and a likely key figure in the succession process, wearing a military uniform with the insignia of a general.

Since my last post a few days ago I've been trying a lot of different ways to market my book, Battleframe. Please treat this as a case study rather than me "pushing" my product as many of the principles I'm tackling are very appropriate for any business.
I've done a lot of things over the past week. For a start I've joined a number of forums and taken part in the many conversations. If you plan on doing this then please ensure that you obey the moderators rules about self-promotion as they can be a little testy.
For instance, in one forum I haven't promoted my book, domain name or anything about me at all. They have a rule that you need to get to 100 posts before releasing anything about yourself. In some ways this makes sense as by a 100 posts you should be pretty well committed to the community by then.
After a bit of googling around I've setup profiles on a number of commercial websites such as goodreads.com. This allows me to interact with new readers and at least be available....

Chapter 11 Introduction to Genetics Biology Mrs. Craun Gregor Mendel • Born in 1822, died in 1884 • Austrian Monk • Studied Science and Math at the University of Vienna • Tended a monastery Garden and taught high school • Considered the "Grandfather of Genetics" How did Mendel study genetics? • By trade, Mendel was a mathematician and studied statistics. • As part of his duties, he took care of the monastery garden. • He noticed that offspring tended to have the same characteristics as the parents – Remember…no one knew anything about DNA in the mid-1800's!! What traits did Mendel study in pea plants? • Seed shape • Seed color • Seed coat color • Pod shape • Pod color • Flower position • Plant height How did Mendel study genetics? Mendel first looked at true-breeding plants, and then cross-pollinated them creating hybrids Terms to Define • true-breeding: • cross-pollination: • hybrid: Mendel's Breeding Program Mendel's Breeding Program • P generation: parent generation Hybrid Cross • Did Mendel see a combination of parental traits in hybrid offspring? – offspring = F1 generation • F1: filial generation Mendel's Conclusions from the First Experiment • Inheritance must be determined by factors passed from one generation to the next – We now know these as the genes found on your chromosomes • Principle of Dominance – Mendel realized some traits are dominant and others are recessive – Dominant alleles "overpower" recessive alleles, so only the dominant characteristics are seen when they combine. Mendel's First Cross: only one parent's traits were seen in F1 generation Mendel's Second Experiment • Mendel wondered if the recessive alleles were still present(perhaps just hidden?). • He let his F1 generation plants self-pollinate – self-pollination: Mendel's Second Experiment • F1 generation self- pollinates F2 generation • Notice that the recessive trait (white flowers) shows up again although the parent was pink Mendel's Conclusion from Second Experiment • Remember: Organisms have two copies of each gene in their cells- one from the mom and one from the dad • During meiosis these two copies are duplicated and then separated, so that each gamete has only one copy of the gene/chromosome. Mendel's Conclusion from Second Experiment Mendel's Conclusion from Second Experiment principle of segregation: two copies of a gene separate, or segregate during the formation of egg and sperm …we now know this happens through the process of meiosis Mendel's Principles 1- dominance and recessivness: two forms for every trait; one form masks (dominant) the other (recessive) 2- segregation: genes separate during the formation of egg and sperm 3- independent assortment: no two genes are connected and separate independently of each other during formation of egg and sperm - no two traits are connected

There are some stars that just aren't afraid to strip down and bare it all.
In Hollywood, anyone will do everything they can just to be able to stay under the limelight. Just to be able to sustain their fame or increase their popularity. It's no secret that there are those who aren't afraid in crossing the border a little further when it comes to showing skin.
Whether they are posing for magazines, arriving at the red carpet or simply in the mood to post a picture on Twitter an Instagram, these stars are not shy in flaunting what their momma gave them.
From Kim Kardashian, to Australian model Miranda Kerr. From young stars like Miley Cyrus and singer Rihanna. These celebs have grown so much comfortable in exposing their nakedness.
In an interview before, Miranda Kerr admits that she "loves" being naked.
"People have come to the house and I'm just in my knickers. I feel like it's more appropriate to have knickers on than being completely naked," she told before on The Daily Telegraph.
Rihanna is another celebrity who has transformed from being so classy to bordering trashy. The singer would constantly post provocative and sensual pictures of herself as "treat" to her fans. Or maybe, Riri is doing it for attention, just like Kim Kardashian.
Sometimes, the photos turn out to be appropriate despite the nudity but in other cases, some celebrities just shows too much.
See more of these female celebrities who are not afraid to show all their naked glory.

Is there a groundcover for me?
Just built a new house and have a long berm to cover (150 feet). Mostly sun, but some shade (zone 6, eastern Kansas). Would prefer something that fills in fast or not to expensive up front. Would also prefer it be easy to maintain. I don't want much, do I? Did I mention the deer?
Hate to suggest it but...iceplant may be your answer IF u want nothing else to grow there. Don't buy it, get it from your neighbors, Just lay it down and it will grow with little to no planting and little to no water, it will grow. Be sure to choose the small leaf blanket type. With all the rain in CA, the larger type is sliding down the slopes. PA is touting crownvetch. Good luck
Do you really live in Shawnee, Kansas? I do. If you are still looking for a ground cover idea please e-mail me through gardenweb and I will invite you over to see what I have done for groundcover. My # is 913-268-9697, if you would rather call. I live close to the Shawnee Library.

Ideas/Info for my mini pig farm
missminipiggyMarch 1, 2012
Hey all! I have just bought two mini pigs in hopes to soon have my own mini pig farm.
Of course every farm needs a name so I would like a little help with a name or it would be great if you could post your mini farms name and tell how you came up with it. Also, I have read a good bit about my new babies but like every other Mom, it is nice to receive advise from other piggy Moms.
Thanks! :)
No pigs here anymore.
It might help if you gave a description of your property, what you plan on selling the pigs for (your market), anything that might help with coming up with ideas for your pig farm name.
How about Miss Piggys Pig Farm? Name your boar Kermit, and subsequent pigs other Muppet names.
Just a thought.

Last night, Drake dropped his second music video off of Take Care for the bonus track "The Motto." The song features fellow Young Money/Cash Money rappers Lil Wayne and Tyga. Shot in the San Francisco Bay Area and directed by Lamar Taylor and Hyghly Alleyne, the clip has a similar look and vibe to "Headlines." The quick cuts and luxurious backdrop make it a great video for a great song. "The Motto" will definitely be playing non-stop on RapCity.
Oh ya, Drake is wearing a leopard print North Face jacket and Lil Wayne is rocking some sparkly, green Uggs…YOLO!

Currently my graph only shows the index in the x-axis and current in y-axis. Now I added additional parameters (NumberOfPoints =1024, TimeImtervall = 0.0003s) to the graph-function.
What I finally want is that the x-axis show time-values and not the index.
But I the only examples I found where how to add a date.
It has something to do with the "XAxis.Type" and "XAxis.Scale.Format" but I haven't found out how to do this.

In one of my tables I have a column named `dl_id` which may contain an ID or 0. (Another column is `type` which is enum('cat', 'dl'); `dl_id` is always 0 when `type` = 'cat'.)
I want to do JOIN on this column, so I can pull the dl_id's title from a different table. However when I do the JOIN, the rows where
dl_id = 0 are removed from the results presumably because '0' isn't an ID in that other table.
Is there any way to include these rows and just list their values as NULL instead of excluding them from the results (i.e. is there a way to override the default behavior)?

From: Rock Island, IL
Region: Midwest
Topic: Poisonous Plants, Herbs/Forbs
Title: Fall care for Fan Scarlet lobelia in Rock Island IL
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:What do I do with Scarlet Fan lobelia in the fall; do I cut it back or let it go as is?
This is apparently one of those occasions when a plant retailer felt that the regular name for a plant wasn't exciting enough to be a good seller. When we searched on "lobelia" in our Native Plant Database, we found 17 members of the genus Lobelia native to North America and 8 of them native to Illinois, but none had the common name 'Scarlet Fan." So, we searched on the Internet for that name and found this Greenhouse Product News Lobelia cardinalis 'Fan Scarlet'. It turns out that it is Lobelia cardinalis (cardinalflower), a very nice herbaceous blooming plant native to Illinois.
So, back to our Native Plant Database, we found these Growing Conditions for the plant:
"Water Use: Low
Light Requirement: Sun , Part Shade , Shade
Soil Moisture: Wet , Moist
CaCO3 Tolerance: Medium
Soil Description: Moist to wet, humus-rich soil. Medium Loam, Clay Loam, Limestone-based, Sandy, Sandy Loam, Clay
Conditions Comments: Cardinal flower has very showy red blooms. It is particularly attractive at the edge of a woodland garden. The soil must be kept moist or wet at all times. A winter mulching in northern climes is beneficial. It can be propagated by bending a stem down into the mud and fastening it with a rock or sticks."
Since it is a perennial, we would recommend cutting it back to about 6 inches from the ground, marking the place where your new plants will emerge from the roots in the Spring. This should help you identify your plant so you don't think those little green leaves coming up are weeds and yank them out. Also, notice that mulch is recommended in northern areas, which we would consider Illinois to be.
One other thing from our Database we felt we should mention is:
"Warning: POISONOUS PARTS: All parts. Toxic only if eaten in large quantities. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, salivation, exhaustion and weakness, dilation of pupils, convulsions, and coma. Toxic Principle: Alkaloids lobelamine, lobeline, and others, plus a volatile oil. (Poisonous Plants of N.C.)"

We went through a tornado, lots of ???
We had a tornado Friday, the 20th of September. I'm just now getting back on line and just couldn't wait to ask you questions about all of this. The tornado was nothing compared to dealing with insurance and a contractor. I have so many questions. Have any of you been through this kind of thing before. I sure do need your wise counsel... please.We are fine and so are our 2 Scotties but now the problems are starting.
Gig Ghee
Write your questions down and don't be afraid to ask. Take pictures of the damages. If you haven't done it already, hopefully prior to the tornado, itemize your personal contents that were lost. Claims can be reopened if something comes up down the road.
Are you in your home? Keep reciepts of everything you have had to purchase, even your meals if you are not in your home and have been forced elsewhere. Details are so important.
Glad to hear that you and your family are ok.
Check licenses on your contractors. The last thing you want is to have work done by a contractor from another state. When there is a catastophe, some contractors are like ambulance chasing lawyers. They will find damage that doesn't exist or make it.

While you're not showing out in bikini (I had already taken a shot at my hairy butts with the cell phone...) there is little point in talking about your bush.... Soooo, do you know when the next Season of Top Gear is going to begin ? It can save me in this period...
I think Jeremy Clarkson has some kind of new show coming out fairly soon this year, not sure about Top Gear though, been a while since there was new episodes if I'm correct.
Any further bush related enquires will have to be private messages, heh, I don't want to get a reputation as the one perverted chick on here.
But don't worry, we're all hidding behind our nickname, it's like talking to someone that you met on a train and never meet anymore so it's pointless to care about your reputation (I didn't even know that you were a chick, I assumed to be talking with a bunch of perverted males loving bloody and hardcore mangas like me)

My favorite place to eat pizza in Cheonan was Sinore (시뇨레) Pizza in Ssangyong-dong (쌍용동). It was real oven-baked Italian style pizza, either thin crust or deep dish, with no random Korean toppings (e.g. corn, sweet potato, or shrimp).
Directions: Walk down the alley across the street from Lotte Mart, between the Holic and the bank. Take a right at YuNa Hair Leader, walk past Mammoth and Angel-N-Us. It will be on your left.
One of my favorite restaurants in Cheonan, South Korea is a hot tofu soup restaurant called LA 북창동순두부. I think it's a chain that you can find in other cities, so if you see it elsewhere, you should check it out. The restaurant has the traditional Korean soup in different variations such as dumplings, curry, etc. for up to 8,000₩.
You can find this restaurant in downtown Cheonan, in the Yawoori area. There is a map on the Foursquare page.
The nearest Buddhist temple to our place is just across the road. In fact I pass it every time I go to work. It's small and hidden up a small hill behind ample tree cover. In fact you'd miss it completely if it were for the multicoloured lanterns which line the street from early April, lanterns which are of course in anticipation of today, Buddha's Birthday.
Happy Market Monday, where the first Monday of each month we highlight a different market in Seoul!
One of my favorite trips I've taken in Asia would have to be the Philippines. Whenever I am struck with memories of the trip I can't refrain from grinning ear to ear. The friendly people, out of this world beaches and amazing food are just some of the things I love about the place!
One of my favorite places to eat in Cheonan is the ramen restaurant, 멘야마쯔리. The service is excellent, the prices are reasonable, and it's a fun place to go to with friends. They have two ramen choices, regular for 5,500₩ and spicy curry for 7,000₩. They have non-ramen choices, such as gyoza and fried rice, as well.
Introducing Market Monday where on the first Monday of each month Seoulmates will be highlighting a different market located in Seoul! First up is…
Cheongnyangni Market
(청량리시장/ Cheongnyangni Shijang)
When I was teaching in Deokso, which is nearly two hours away from where I live, I barely had time to prepare my lunch at home, so I would usually grab a bite to eat during my break time or buy some food to go. I would either get two different flavors of 삼각김밥 (samgak gimbap or triangle-shaped rice) or those four-layered sandwiches in the convenience store that had weird flavors but, nevertheless, tasted good. They would be enough to keep my stomach from growling for an hour or two, but not for the entire five or six hours that I was working.

I personally really like this lipstick! I switch between this shade and MAC Modesty for my go to nude lips. I prep with Burt's Bees beeswax lip balm and finish with ELF liquid lipstick in Bark.

I've been wearing my all-time favorite lipstick (Mac Fresh brew) for quite awhile and was looking for a change. I tried out this lipstick thinking it would be another wonderful nude lip color. This lipstick hardly showed up on my pigmented lips. With or without liner, it just looked as if I placed clear lipgloss on my lips. It wasn't the look I was going for so I returned it.

I had a sales associate try this on me in the store. I liked it for a nude lipstick. But when I used it at home it doesn't even show up on my lips! I am an NC25

I love this nude, it's a warm toned nude which is exactly what I need for my olive complexion. It leaves a beautiful glow to the lip abd gives that "your lips but better" look, perfect for daytime. I go between Mac Freckletone and Maybeline Babylips in Peach Kiss, but Mac Freckletone is minus that slight frosted look you get with the Babylips. If you need a daytime lipstick, go for Freckletone...

What is this? This doesn't even show up on my lips. What a bummer.
I would never ever buy this lipstick again. It's just like brown on my lips, stays on like 30minutes and fades away. No, this is a big NO NO.

This is the most confusing lipstick to me. I am Nc30-35 and when I put this on I don't get "intense peachy" like others claim, It completely disappears on my lip. I can put 10 layers of this on and my lips do not look that much different! If I put gloss over then a little more color pulls through. With that said I do like it because for everyday Its very wearable but it definately looks different on other than myself!

Love this color! I was in search of a nude shade for the Spring and Summer. I'm NW47, African-American (Dark Skin), who needed a lot of coaxing from the sales rep (pushy young lady) just to try and test this color. And, she was completely right! It's a soft peachy nude shade with a slight hint of brown. And, if you need a liner try 80% Cremestick Liner by MAC.
Plan on buying 3 more just in case it's discontinued.

I got Freckletone after the MUA recommended it for me. I initially didn't like the look of it in the tube, it looks like a pale peachy colour. But on my pigmented lips, I really like it! It's a mix of peachy/pink/nude. For me it's a lovely natural nude colour, but doesn't wash me out like Creme D Nude. I love the Lustre formular, yes you do have to reapply lots but I'm a fan of no fuss lippie, I can apply this without even looking in a mirror. I like to pair this lipstick with a bronzey blush such as Love Joy. For reference I am NC30 x

Remembering Jobs
In keeping with his first death anniversary, Kipp takes a look at a few of Steve Jobs' most memorable quotes
October 7, 2012 5:44 by Eva Fernandes
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice.'
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do"
"I think death is the most wonderful invention of life. It purges the system of these old models that are obsolete."
"It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them."
"My model for business is the Beatles. They were four guys who kept each other's kind of negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other, and the total was greater than the sum of the parts. That's how I see business: Great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people."
"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me ... Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful... that's what matters to me."

Container Shipping Service
Asia Key to Recovery of Containerized Trade
Asian economies are leading the recovery of international container trade volumes, but strong growth across the region could see pre-recession pressure on freight infrastructure re-emerge, a senior executive of container shipping line APL told a conference in Ho Chi Minh City on May 20. "Intra-Asia is already the world's single largest container trade," Jason Wong, Vice President of APL's Intra Asia trade, told the 8th ASEAN Ports & Shipping Conference. "This will continue over the long term as Asian consumer markets develop." By 2015, Intra Asia will contribute 32% of global containerised trade, with the Asia-U.S. and Asia-Europe trades 17% and 18% respectively, according to analyst Global Insight. Wong said that along with China and India, South East Asian economies such as Vietnam and Indonesia had shown resilience to the global crisis and had continued to grow in 2010. More transportation services will be required to support the growth of freight moving within Asia, according to Wong, who identified North Asia to South East Asia as a high potential trade. To serve this market, he said, APL launched the Japan Thailand Vietnam and Korea China Straits services in 2009. Wong said freight infrastructure development must be a top priority across Asia to optimise trade flows and maximise economic growth.

CHICAGO – Chris Rock isn't a huge writer/director, but when he does make a film, it's an event to consider. For example, he made black president tale "Head of State" long before then-senator Barack Obama was even considered for the real-life role, and whether behind the stand-up mic or in an interview, he's a voice to be reckoned with.

Can Marcellus gas fuel Philly-area industrial revival?
"The best hope for Sunoco's idled Marcus Hook refinery site is for it to be reborn as a multipurpose energy-processing facility, fueled by the growing output of natural gas from the Marcellus Shale drilling boom," according to a $100,000 Delaware County Industrial Development Authority-funded report by consultant IHS Global insight, writes my colleague Andrew Maykuth here.
Read the full 122-page report by IHS's Brendan O'Neil, Joseph Waldo and colleagues here. IHS is a Massachusetts-based economic forecasting company whose Essington, Delaware County office is negotiating a move to Center City Philadelphia.
UPDATE: IDA says the report was funded by "cash reserves" financed by agency fees, and not by taxes, as reported in an earlier edition of this item.

This book doesn't stand on it's own and would have been much better as a prologue in My Soul to Take. I rated it high because it is a great prologue which explains much of what happens in My Soul to Take and am very glad that I read it first.

West Sacramento imposes new water restrictions
West Sacramento is restricting outdoor watering in response to the state's historic drought.
The Stage 2 water emergency that went into effect last week bans residents and businesses from washing streets, sidewalks, driveways and buildings. Landscape irrigation that causes runoff is also prohibited, and residents cannot water lawns between noon and 6 p.m.
The mandatory restriction ramps up water-saving efforts after nearly a year of voluntary restrictions that cut residents' water use by more than 19 percent, said Paulina Benner, West Sacramento Environmental Services manager.
Though not as strict as Sacramento's twice-a-week outdoor watering requirements, West Sacramento has instituted an odd-even residential watering system. Residents with odd-numbered addresses may water lawns and landscaping Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Those with even-numbered addresses may water on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Watering is prohibited Mondays.
Violators will initially receive two written warnings outlining city water codes. The penalty for water users' third and subsequent violations is five times the amount of the user's monthly water bill, Benner said.
Benner's office has launched an outreach campaign on social media, the city's City iLights online newsletter, face-to-face conversations at community events and direct mailings.
"Since November, residents and businesses have done quite a lot, but the more we save, the more we will have for the future," Benner said. "We're doing well, but more has to be done (to conserve water) on a statewide level. We all have to do our part."
Join the Discussion
The Sacramento Bee is pleased to provide this opportunity to share information, experiences and observations about what's in the news. Some of the comments may be reprinted elsewhere on the site or in the newspaper. We encourage lively, open debate on the issues of the day, and ask that you refrain from profanity, hate speech, personal comments and remarks that are off point. Thank you for taking the time to offer your thoughts.

NiMH batteries: Why not Lithium???
Why do so many systems still use NiMH batteries? What is the hold up on using Lithium?
Is it just expense? or is there some techno reason?
Lighter, more powerful, and longer lasting....what's the hold up?
Yes, it is cost. If you recall NiMH once were the batteries of choice over NiCads but until NiMH were mass prodiced, manufacurers and consumers were slow to adopt the new technology. The same will be true for Lithium-ions soon. Battery tech is one of the hottest moving industries these days and new strides are made every month.
Construction workers have adapted readily to Lithium-ion power tools because for them time is money.
I think you will see more and more of the Lithium batteries.
They are very expensive now, but in high volume production they should be less expensive than the NiMH (or so the experts say).
There are still (apparently) technical problems remaining in the use of Lithiums for mass produced cars.
Toyota was planning to make the next generation Prius using Lithium, but has backed off saying that they did not feel they were ready yet. They have a massive in house battery program, so I would guess there is something to this.
The Chevy Volt (2010?) will use Lithium batteries as will the Telsa roadster.
I'm surprised that this sort of technology isn't more heavily touted in the public press.
At the very least, a massive distribution of electric cars would greatly reduce our reliance on foreign oil.
As much as I hate government intervention, I would accept a public subsidy which would help fund the purchase of electric cars for lower income people.
The inherent problems with oil dependency are just over-the-top. This is (a kind of) war.
I'd like to see an energy "Manhatten Project" to develop and distribute technologies that get us off the oil.
There HAVE been massive publicity campaigns regarding lithium battery technology -- unfortunately it was quite NEGATIVE. Laptop computers catching on fire, toys catching on fire ... fire scares away a LOT of potential customers......
Think I'd rather have a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle under my seat.
Hydrogen...not so sure. Honda will have a hydrogen car out in 2008. It was interesting, but driving range on a tank of H2 wasn't that far...under 300 miles. No refueling stations....just some of the infrastructure problems. Then the costs to get H2 are expensive, unless its a by product of the nuclear process...and last I read on that no one wants a nuke plant in their area....
Chevrolet Volt is to use lithium, but the technology hang up is how to cool these without using up substantial amounts of the stored energy. I hope someone solves it soon as I am trying to hold out for a plug and drive hybrid that can charge in the off hours that will let me go 40 or so miles on the charge and then switch to gasoline for the longer trips (or better yet diesel).
I speculate if America could get just 50% of the cars going less than 40 miles per day off the oil nipple, we would see lots of "threatening" countries collapsing from within when the oil revenues are no longer flowing.
May I suggest...

It's relatively easy to get to Port Chester by car. There are Port Chester exits off of I-95, 287 and the Merritt parkway. Driving around Port Chester gives you the option of seeing some neighborhoods and areas that you'd miss if you took a bus, train or tried walking.
I can walk down the avenue...
Port Chester is a very walkable town. The main thoroughfare through town is Westchester Avenue and the post road/main street. Although mild hills are everywhere nothing will be more than a 10 minute walk.
We try to get out and walk as often as possible when going to the local restaurants or the movies or even shopping if we aren't buying a lot. Of course as is good advice while driving, we often combine all of the above in our walks at the same time too.
Metro North
Metro North's New Haven line runs through and stops in Port Chester. Approximate running time from here to Grand Central is 37 minutes on the Express which runs from NYC-Rye express and then Port Chester is the next stop or 47-50 minutes on the local.
Current fares to the city are $9.50 peak and $6.75 off peak.
Bee Line
The Bee Line bus system of Westchester County serves Port Chester. The bus I use is the 13. It will take me to work on days I don't feel like working and also across county when I need to get to the Tarrytown Metro North Hudson line.

Technology used to be considered impersonal. You know, the idea of the "robotic mind," no human interaction. But, the reality is technology is actually very personal and becoming more so by the day. Devices are so in sync with their users, they've become the personal secretaries to the masses. This is even more true when talking connected wearables.
