Tax reform
From Rodney in Denver:
I've been thinking of ways to get more people to use mass transit. I thought making transit passes tax deductible would be a good idea… I'm curious what your thoughts are on this idea?
Well Rodney, having just finished my own taxes, I think it's a pretty darn good one. There's a deduction for people who buy hybrids; there's mileage credit for folks who drive for business purposes; there's even a sales tax deduction for major purchases (like cars and boats). Why no love for transit types?
I think the trick is in the implementation. A …

This week in transit: bus-related news
• Metro's oldest driver is 80. He drives the 2.
Linda Thielke, spokeswoman for Metro, said Minard "has a pretty good driving record, with only minor accidents, really minor, like losing a side mirror."
That's more than I can say for the guy who drove my inbound 17 on Thursday night. That driver, who was nowhere near 80, was happy to share the details of his tickets and a recent accident (the reason he "doesn't have to worry about working overtime") with the passenger sitting in the seat adjacent to his. As …

If Seattle got cheaper, the planet might get cooler
Yesterday, BeyondChron had an interesting piece about the connection between climate change and affordable housing. Some excerpts:
Despite the media focusing largely on climate change strategies like ethanol and composting, combating sprawl appears to be one of the efforts offering the most bang for the buck. For starters, cars produce almost a third of the carbon emitted in America. Allowing people to live close to their jobs, grocery stores, parks and schools means dramatically shortened commute times and significantly reduced carbon emissions.
In addition, increasing density means taking advantage of public infrastructure already in place. Rather than extending sewer, …

Flexcar plans to double its fleet
I missed the big press conference on Friday (dang day job!), but KOMO didn't. Check out this report.
Facts of note:
• The average shared car removes 15 private cars from the road.
• The average Flexcar user spends $85 per month (I spend significantly less) on car use, while the average private car costs $700 a month.
• Flexcar, which started (and is based) in Seattle, now has a presence in 10 cities, …

Some updates to those glossary entries
It seems that some "bus friends" are friendlier than others. From Dan in Bellevue*:
Thought I should mention that a "bus buddy" is not the same as a "bus friend" as I found out a couple years ago. I had gotten on a bus on a rainy day riding through south Seattle (the 174 I think) and had on my black bicycle rain pants. A guy who I presumed was mentally challenged got on and sat down in the seat in front of me. He glanced over his shoulder a few times, and …

Maybe Busfather meditates
On my way home tonight, I rode on the bus of a driver who had clearly had enough. One too many times, someone had flashed him an expired transfer, or put the wrong amount of change in the fare box, or just walked on by without paying at all. Tonight, he wasn't having it. Twice between Union and Cherry, the (not small) driver stood, got in a non-paying passenger's face, and screamed these exact words:
"DUDE! [pause] "DUDE! GET ON THE NEXT BUS!"
(Note that I was on the 48, …

Inside the stats: Records made to be broken
Each week, we'll look at some statistics involving individuals and/or teams that we find intriguing. This week, we're spotlighting either single-season or career NCAA records.
1. Give him six - again. Central Michigan QB Dan LeFevour threw two TD passes in the Chippewas' victory over Ohio in the MAC championship game, setting an NCAA major-college record for touchdown responsibility with 148. He had been tied with former Hawaii QB Colt Brennan (2005-07) and former Texas Tech QB Graham Harrell (2005-08). LeFevour has thrown 101 TD passes, run for 46 touchdowns and caught one touchdown pass. LeFevour's record may not last long, though. Houston QB Case Keenum has been responsible for 121 TDs, and he has one game remaining this season and all of next season to get 28 more.
2. What's the catch? Bowling Green WR Freddie Barnes has 138 receptions this season, five shy of breaking the major-college single-season record set by Houston's Manny Hazard in 1989. Barnes and the Falcons meet Idaho in the Humanitarian Bowl on Dec. 30. Idaho's pass defense is awful, so unless Barnes is hurt early, he will set the record.
3. Many happy returns. Alabama's Javier Arenas went into the SEC championship game needing 36 yards to set the major-college record for career punt return yards; he still needs 28. The record is 1,761 yards by former Texas Tech star Wes Welker (2000-03). Texas has struggled in punt coverage this season, giving up 10.8 yards per return on 22 returns.
4. A little bit short. Tennessee SS Eric Berry has 494 career interception return yards. The major-college record is 501, by former Florida State CB Terrell Buckley (1989-91). The Vols meet Virginia Tech in the Chick-fil-a Bowl on Dec. 31. Hokies QB Tyrod Taylor has thrown four interceptions this season; one of those was to a strong safety (Georgia Tech's Morgan Burnett).

Recently I created a posting outlining a project template for a WinForms application. This posting outlines a new project template that provides the elements for the creation windows service in F#. The template can be found on the Visual Studio Gallery:
When the template is installed you get the following template added to your F# folder when creating a new F# project:
This template provides several projects elements:
The MyService.fs source file provides the implementation of the service. The template code provides the structure for the OnStart and OnStop methods and shows how an EventLog can be created and referenced:
The entry point for the program is defined in the Program.fs source file:
As you can see for a service the entry point is defined using the [<EntryPoint>] attribute.
Finally, so that the installutil tool correctly installs the service, an Installer class is also defined:
The template version installs the service using the Local System account. However, this can easily be changed.
Finally, the template creates a command file that can be used to install and un-install the service. When running this command file you will need a command prompt running with elevated privileges.
Once again, hopefully you will find this template useful.

Respond to Review of The Pink Giraffe
by feorag
Review: My visit to this restaurant was with a party of meat-eaters, who saw the vegetarian banquet and agreed to have that for my sake. They were all satisfied, and those who were unfamiliar with vegetarian cuisine left with a much more open attitude. The vegetarian menu consists of classic Chinese Buddhist cuisine, with fake meats, well prepared and promptly served.

Everyone has an opinion on ring bearer' attire. While not everyone is a fan of little boys in mini tuxedos, others find little boys in grown-up formal wear sweet.

Ring bearer outfits also often times include sailor outfits, seersucker suites or slacks with formal jackets. Your ring bearer outfits should jive with the overall theme of your wedding. The ring bearer's suit should complement the tone you've set for your special day.

Sam Brownback was sworn in as governor of Kansas on January 9, 2011, and was sworn in for his second term on January 12, 2015.
Brownback was born in Garnett, Kansas in 1956. He quickly learned the value of hard work, responsibility and family at a young age while working with his sister and brothers on their family farm near Parker, Kansas. He began his career in leadership when he was elected state president of the Future Farmers of America, and then the national vice-president of the FFA.
Brownback attended Kansas State University, where he earned a bachelor's of science in agricultural economics. He then attended the University of Kansas Law School where he obtained his Juris Doctorate in 1982.
Four years later, Brownback became the youngest secretary of the Kansas Department of Agriculture in state history. He strove to protect the interest of farmers, promote market expansion and foster new technological farming improvements. Brownback also served as a White House Fellow in the George H. W. Bush Administration. In 1994, Brownback was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Two years later, he won a seat in the U.S. Senate.
Brownback returned to Kansas where he was elected governor. In his second term, Brownback is committed to growing the Kansas economy by alleviating the income tax burden on all Kansans, continuing investments in K-12 education and equipping struggling Kansans with the work training needed to break the cycle of generational poverty.
Brownback and his wife, Mary, have five children.

text: In a thesis written at Harvard in 1923 I termed the Ontological Argument invented by Anselm "an incomparably brilliant and cogent course of reasoning." I was already familiar with Kant's famous refutation. Since that time frequent rereading of Kant and examination of scores of other refutations have failed to convince me that the Argument is a mere fallacy. However, I now think that both the standard criticisms and the older defences, including mine of forty years ago, are all seriously--even disgracefully--defective. In 1923 I had, like so many others, failed to read Anselm with scholarly care; and I certainly took my self-appointed task of rebutting Kant far too casually. Today, instead of brashly asserting, as I recall doing in another student essay, that the Argument "sums up what is most sound in philosophy," I should make a qualified statement. I still hold that there is no shorter way to an understanding of essential metaphysical issues than the careful consideration of the challenge that Anselm issued to his contemporaries and successors. However, I have come to see that the simple acceptance of the reasoning as Anselm left it (were this today still possible) is no better calculated than its simple

FutureGov reports on Australia's rollout of new privacy safeguards in the Personally Controlled Electronic Health Records program. Under the reforms, which expand upon existing obligations under Australia's Privacy Act 1988, Australian Privacy Commissioner Timothy Pilgrim may seek civil penalties and enforce undertakings by organizations that fail to protect patient records. Healthcare providers are now obligated to refrain from collecting more patient information than is necessary and to ensure staff are appropriately trained in data protection. The reforms expand Pilgrim's powers and allow consumers to make decisions about who sees their records and what information is shared with third parties.

With a late-night vote, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a partial plan – negotiated by the Senate and the White House – to avert the "fiscal cliff," but most House Republicans voted no, with Tea Partiers continuing to flaunt their nihilistic extremism, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar notes.
War Spending and the 'Fiscal Cliff'
The short-term danger of the "fiscal cliff" may be resolved either before or after the New Year, but the longer-term threat to the Republic is the never-ending demand from the Military-Industrial Complex for more and more money to finance war and empire, says ex-FBI agent Coleen Rowley.
How FBI Monitored Occupy Movement
The FBI and other federal agencies coordinated with banks and local authorities in reacting to the Occupy Movement, which was put in the category of a domestic terrorist threat despite the group's advocacy of nonviolence, Dennis J. Bernstein reports.
At Year's End, the 'News' Fails
The end of the year brings reflection on what happened in the past 12 months and what lies ahead. But these retrospectives usually offer no more context – and often less – than the thin gruel of news as the events played out, News Dissector Danny Schechter notes.
Bankster Justice Very Much Delayed
After years of tip-toeing around the too-big-to-fail banks – despite their key role in devastating the world's economy – the U.S. government has finally signaled a couple of fraud prosecutions. However, the effort is not only way too late, but way too little, argues Danny Schechter.
The Beat-Down of 'Public Servants'
For several decades, the American Right has heaped contempt on government employees as part of a strategy to delegitimize federal regulation of the private sector, contributing to such disasters as the Wall Street meltdown of 2008. But the beat-down of "public servants" goes on, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
Slaughter of the Innocents
Americans are grieving over the 20 schoolchildren and six teachers mowed down in Newtown, Connecticut, by a deranged gunman with a semi-automatic assault rifle. But national grief may not be enough to overcome the cold calculations of profit and politics, says Danny Schechter.
Congressmen Eye Revolving Door
Outgoing members of Congress – even as they consider legislation in the lame-duck session – are preparing their exits through the revolving door to lucrative lobbying jobs, often with industries they assisted while doing the "people's business," as Bill Moyers and Michael Winship explain.
The Right's 'Limited Government' Scam
Exclusive: Libertarians and Tea Partiers pretend they are the only Americans who believe in "limited government" as envisioned by the Framers, but that is a false conceit. The real history is that Madison and Washington devised a Constitution with broad powers to promote the "general Welfare," says Robert Parry.
Japan's Vote Shows Economic Anger
It may appear that Japanese voters have opted for a "back-to-the-future" election, reinstalling Shinzo Abe and his once-dominant Liberal Democratic Party to power. But the move reflects a desire to move forward out of Japan's economic rut, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.

Gackt Guests in Dirge of Cerberus
J-pop star will sing, but also appear in a sequence.
The singer, who says his real name is Camui M. S. Gackt, will feel at home with the vampire Vincent Valentine. Gackt says his birthday is July 4, 1540, and he used to be in the band Malice Mizer. He also says he was possessed by spirits as a child, and became psychic after a near-death experience.
By the way, have you ever wondered which Gackt haircut you are most like? Just curious.

Vincent is not a vampire.Posted: Nov 13, 2005 12:00AM PST by ahhitsamanda
Nothing in the game says he's a vampire, ergo he is not.
Lost in TranslationPosted: Nov 07, 2005 12:00AM PST by NightmareIrata
I'm pretty sure this will have 0 effect on american gamers as about 97% of american gamers have absolutely no clue who he is. Don't believe me? Check out the Bujingai american artwork, as they hide his character's face in EVERY SHOT. sad really. Well, hopefully SQEX won't screw it up and leave him be, and not replace him with Kevin Federline or someone equally inane for the american version. <3jusan

Dang, that dude hot, ah a new stalking victim......
i just gotta say this...Posted: Nov 05, 2005 12:00AM PST by ocarinalink
WTF?! I understand enlisting the help of a j-pop singer, but involving a pretty boy such as Gackt (who looks rather bisexual in that pic, I have to say) is stretching it rather far. Ah well....this comes from the same people who announced a game featuring FF characters and Disney. Go figure.
...Final Fantasy X-2 anyone?Posted: Nov 04, 2005 12:00AM PST by Deticui
I swear to god if they make vincent dance in this game I will do something extremely painful to all parties involved UNTIL THEY'VE BLOODY WELL HAD ENOUGH. That being said I'm still fucking stoked about a third person shooter featuring Vincent.

I hope Vincent will front his own visual kei band someday.
My cat Gackt up something disgusting last nightPosted: Nov 04, 2005 12:00AM PST by openedsource
So, how does it work when you base the designs of one of your characters after a popular media icon, then turn around and put that real-world personality in your game? Maybe they'll coincidentally be walking by an open door and think it's a mirror, like the old Looney Tunes cartoons with Sylvester the Cat. How meta!
Beloved GacktPosted: Nov 03, 2005 12:00AM PST by saccharinmetric
Also appears in Metal Gear Solid 2 if you're sneaky enough, in the tanker mission walking down one of the halls listening to his own music. Plus, I got the 'exotic look' on the test.

Gackt and Vincent use their special attaching devices from their trousers and attach to eachothers Buttholes. forming into the gayest thing you have ever seen, even two men kissing make this Aeon seem straight.

**SPOILER** Real "Dirge" scene w/ Gackt transcript!!Posted: Nov 03, 2005 12:00AM PST by casket_case
Vincent: Damn thy to hell foul beasts. **Vincent thinks to himself: "I'm almost out of energy, only one more shot left. I knew I should brought more bullets but I'll be dammed if I'll let an unsightly bulge conflict with my whole tight-pants thing. ---In comes Gackt dressed in a Big Lots halloween vampire costume, price: 14.99.--- Vincent: Whoa! It's morbid J-rock sensation Gackt! --Gackt indulges battle like an untamed unicorn-- Vincent: And he's kickin' ass!! --Vincent turns to Gackt and their pyschic link makes them both aware of a secret super special move-- Vincent: Gackt! Let's do it! Gackt: dgd87!7fdghLOL!!11! Sorry that's all I could get.
Wow umm well umm ..yeah hmm him and vincent do look alike (more sarcasm)Posted: Nov 03, 2005 12:00AM PST by XtremeGmr4life
I don't know this dude looks really weird I would have to say. I guess seeing how he has been round since the 1600 you would look something like that too if you were a vampire or a mashed together Tidus, Lance Bass, and some other powder booty looking guy. I would kick it with him though be part of his entrouge because I am pretty sure he has a bunch fo fine a** asian females following him around and it looks like he doesn't mind sharing.
Wow that dude looks so ...Manly, LOL Sarcasm..Posted: Nov 03, 2005 12:00AM PST by mandangsbelow69
I'm just joking he looks really gay, and why would you want him to make a appearence.

Official Bio:
Jennifer Marsman is a Principal Developer Evangelist in Microsoft's Developer and Platform Evangelism group, where she educates developers on Microsoft's new technologies. In this role, Jennifer is a frequent speaker at software development conferences across the United States. In 2009, Jennifer was chosen as "Techie whose innovation will have the biggest impact" by X-OLOGY for her work with GiveCamps, a weekend-long event where developers code for charity. She has also received many honors from Microsoft, including the Central Region Top Contributor Award, Heartland District Top Contributor Award, DPE Community Evangelist Award, CPE Champion Award, MSUS Diversity & Inclusion Award, and Gold Club. Prior to becoming a Developer Evangelist, Jennifer was a software developer in Microsoft's Natural Interactive Services division. In this role, she earned two patents for her work in search and data mining algorithms. Jennifer has also held positions with Ford Motor Company, National Instruments, and Soar Technology. Jennifer holds a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering and Master's Degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Her graduate work specialized in artificial intelligence and computational theory. Jennifer blogs at http://blogs.msdn.com/jennifer and tweets at http://twitter.com/jennifermarsman.
The Longer Version:
I'm a Developer Evangelist for Microsoft, which is a kinda silly title. But I have the coolest job in the company: I get to learn and play with Microsoft's new technologies for developers and then tell people about them. I deliver presentations at corporations, user groups, and conferences, write demos, and act as a technical resource to large enterprises. Over the last year, I've dived into the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Workflow, Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO), ClickOnce, the UAC in Windows Vista, Silverlight, the .NET Framework 3.5, and Visual Studio 2008.
I work with a great team of people. Jon Box, Darryl Hogan, and John Mullinax focus on enterprise strategy, while Josh Holmes, Jeff Blankenburg, and Brian Prince focus on the software developer and architect community. I worked on the enterprise team for about 1.5 years and recently transitioned to the community team. I'm based in Microsoft's Detroit office (which is actually in Southfield, Michigan).
My background is as a software developer. I worked at Microsoft's main office in Redmond, Washington from 2002-2006. My team's goal was to map a computer user's intent to an action that the computer can perform, beginning with the search and help domain. To do this, we utilized machine learning techniques (Naïve Bayes and Decision Tree classifiers). I personally designed the algorithms that determine the user's intent from the data we collected, which earned me two patents.
In this blog, I want to share my experiences as I work with cutting-edge Microsoft developer technologies.

Standard Interpretations - (Archived) Table of Contents
| Standard Number:
| Status:
July 28, 1994
Ms. Ann Harri
Certified Hazardous Materials Manager
Environmental Consulting
1122 Sixth Street South
Fargo, North Dakota 58103-2747
Dear Ms. Harri:
Thank you for your letter of June 2, concerning the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) regulation, 29 CFR 1910.120.
Your question requests clarification on the HAZWOPER refresher training requirements. The standard clearly specifies in paragraph (e)(8) that workers engaged in hazardous waste remedial operations shall receive 8 hours of refresher training annually. You state that a client of yours has interpreted a letter to R. Pelletier (dated June 7, 1991) in the March 1993 edition of the HAZWOPER Interpretive Quips to allow refresher training at intervals of three years. This is not consistent with the plan meaning of the quip.
The R. Pelletier quip comments on an internal company policy specifying that the entire initial 40 hour training be repeated if the worker has gone three years without refresher training. If your client decides that their workers rarely participate in HAZWOPER activities, and they wish to let the refresher training lapse after each remedial operation is completed and then repeat the initial 40-hour course every time they reassign these workers to HAZWOPER activities, that are free to do so.
We have enclosed a letter which may be of interest to you. The letter, addressed to Mr. Jim Heringer (dated march 12, 1993), discusses retraining of workers who have been absent from hazardous waste work for a period of time. Further, a more recent edition of the HAZWOPER Interpretive Quips is now available. We have enclosed a copy for your convince.
We hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions please contact us at (202) 219-8036.

Humanitarian Practice and
the Laws of War
Impartiality of Humanitarian Relief
Weapons and how they are used in armed conflict cannot properly be considered in isolation from the question, how far the choice and use of weapons in armed conflict is shaped and determined by things that have happened--decisions made, thoughts thought--before armed conflict begins. This seemingly logical procedure ought to surprise no one. But modern IHL writers have not usually followed it. The usual thing through the past two centuries has been to leave the part of the law which deals with the causes and pretexts of war, the old jus ad bellum, to fend for itself and to focus exclusively on the jus in bello.
Good reasons for concentration on the jus in bello are not lacking. The most persuasive one has become embodied in the law itself. Traditional jus ad bellum lost its charm for those pragmatic, moderate-minded men of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries whose observations taught them that, extravagantly interpreted, it could actually obstruct the restraint and (as the most optimistic of them came to describe it) the humanization of war. The pursuit of justice in this connection as in most others could run to extremes as well as to the moderate middle. The more persuaded men were of the absolute rightness and divine authority of their cause--the nearer they got to interpreting 'just war' as 'holy war'--the more difficult seemed they to find it to exercise restraint and show compassion. To the minds of diplomatic practitioners and men of affairs of early modernizing Europe, moreover, there was a further flaw in the received theory. Inherited just-war theory assumed that, even if 'right' was not wholly and exclusively on one side, more of it must be found on one side than the other, which, in strict logic, was very likely to be the case. But realist political theory and positivist legal theory were waltzing away from such evaluations, preferring not to pronounce judgment on the rights and wrongs of sovereign States in conflict until they knew what the outcome was. The only right that mattered to them was, to put it crudely, whatever was recognized as such and was enforceable within the society of States.

Please enter a valid mileage
Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 6.7
In creating the 2013 Outlander Sport SUV, Mitsubishi borrowed more than just the name from its Outlander SUV, it also liberated a good deal of the chassis and suspension. Designed to compete with the smallest of compact SUVs such as the Mini Countryman and Nissan Juke, the Outlander Sport brings all the excitement and style of its rivals, albeit with less power but also a much lower price. Good road manners, a fuel-efficient engine and a low sticker price are the Outlander Sport's trump cards, but we think people will like it just because it's such a fun and affordable little SUV.
If you don't need more room than is found in a Ford Focus or VW Golf hatchback, but you want a vehicle that sits up a bit higher with good ground clearance and available 4-wheel drive (4WD), the fun and frugal 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport makes a good choice.
"Cute" doesn't always translate into "quick," as is the case with the Outlander Sport. If you need power to pass, pull or haul, you might be better served by a turbocharged or V6-powered SUV. Those needing maximum cargo space might look to the larger Outlander, Kia Sportage or Mazda CX-5.
The 2013 Outlander Sport receives a mild exterior freshening, improvements to its suspension and power steering setup and some interior upgrades; 18-inch wheels are made standard while 4WD is now available on the ES trim.
Driving Impressions The 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has a comfortable driving position and great views out. Getting up to speed quickly is not the Mitsubishi's forte, but once rolling, it provides a...compliant, relatively quiet ride. Automatic versions of the Outlander Sport use a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that can take getting used to since it doesn't have traditional shift points. However, paddle shifters mounted to the steering wheel offer manual control. The 5-speed manual transmission, only on the base Outlander Sport ES 2-wheel-drive (2WD) model, is light and easy to use. With its small size, the Outlander Sport is a snap to maneuver and park, but the name belies the SUV's less-spirited driving personality when it comes to carving corners. While the Outlander Sport is not meant for serious off-roading, models equipped with Mitsubishi's All Wheel Control have a 2-mode 4WD switch: "auto" for better grip in general and "lock" for slippery conditions.
You'll literally feel the music with this 9-speaker, 710-watt sound system that includes a powerful subwoofer. And with a built-in 6-disc CD changer, SiriusXM receiver and available 40-gig hard drive with music server, you'll never be lacking for tunes.
Also part of the Premium Package that includes the Rockford Fosgate system, this expanse of glass spans the Outlander Sport's roof to create a feeling of openness with the outside. Too bad the only thing it doesn't do is literally open.
The 2013 Outlander Sport has a simple, user-friendly interior. Leather adorns the steering wheel and shift knob, but you'll have to look to another vehicle if you want seats covered in it. As for interior hue, to take a cue from Henry Ford: You can have any color, as long as it's black. The front seats are relatively comfortable, while rear seating is tight for three adults but quite tolerable for two. Cargo capacity behind the rear seat is modest by SUV standards at just over 20 cubic feet, but more than doubles that capacity with the seats folded.
Here's where the 2013 Outlander Sport SUV shines. Up front is an aggressive face that would rightly remind some of Mitsubishi's snarling Lancer Evolution sports car, while the sides are highlighted by deeply sculpted lines that bisect the doors. Big, 18-inch wheels help both the ES and SE version stand out, a change up from last year's 16-inchers. In back is a cute butt that is even more appealing with the optional roof-mounted spoiler. A roof rack can be added to put more of the "u" in this compact-utility vehicle.
Even a base 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport ES packs a good amount of comfort, safety and convenience features. Among them are leather wrapping the shift knob and the tilt/telescoping steering wheel, LED taillights, 18-inch wheels, air conditioning with pollen filter, steering-wheel-mounted cruise control and audio buttons, a 4-speaker/140-watt AM/FM/CD system, and Fuse voice-control system. SE models add automatic on/off high-intensity headlights, rain-sensing wipers, automatic climate control, premium fabric seats, and six speakers instead of four. Mitsubishi vehicles also come with a new-car warranty that includes 10 years/100,000 miles for the powertrain.
All 2013 Outlander Sport models can be spruced up with a navigation system and 40-gig hard drive, rearview camera, a 710-watt Rockford Fosgate sound system, remote engine start, and a panoramic glass roof. All-wheel drive is available on both the ES and SE trims.
Just one engine is available for Outlander Sport models, a 4-cylinder that runs on regular unleaded. It is mated to a CVT automatic transmission or, for the base version of the vehicle, a 5-speed manual. The Outlander Sport uses a "brake energy regeneration" system to reduce fuel and CO2 emissions that works by capturing kinetic energy during deceleration and then intensively recharging the battery with it. The battery can then reduce its reliance on the engine's alternator, which helps conserve fuel.

We have averaged almost 29 MPG which is 2 MPG better than the EPA estimate. Most of the driving has been around town, but on the highway we have gotten 31 MPG. I'm 6'1" and I find this to be a very comfortable car to drive. It can be a bit noisy under hard acceleration, but overall it is pretty quiet for a small SUV. As others have said, the amount of standard equipment you get with this car would cost you thousands more on other SUV's. Ours was built in the Normal Illinois plant, which unfortunately Mitsubishi is closing, so to top it all off it was made in America!!"

"Great vehicle and nice riding, good on gas mileage. No negatives on the Outlander. If you're looking for a larger 'trunk' area you might want to go with the Outlander rather than the sport but the sport is just fine for normal trips."

"Are you kidding? Buy it! We mulled around for two weeks trying to decide between the Honda CRV, Subaru XT and the Outlander Sport. The Mitsubishi had the best warranty by a long shot (not the warranty was much of a concern with Honda or Subaru). It boiled down to bang for your buck. We got a LOADED SE Outlander with the glass roof for around the starting price of the other two. We bought the Mitsubishi thinking we just got more bells and whistles but a cheapo car. Well, we were wrong. We just wrapped up a 2000 mile road trip and we were stunned. Economy: This car averaged 31 MPG over the full distance. (Keep in mind this is the 4X4) The insurance rate was lower than the other two SUVs we were considering. Comfort: I have a very bad back and that is the most comfortable I have been in a car since I drove a Lincoln. It rides, handles and stops very well. Power: Many people comment the power is lacking in this car. My wife and I feel it is just right. It is not slow by any means. 70 -80 mph with no issues through the mountains. Acceleration is actually impressive. MPG is the concern for us and this car finds that balance between power and MPG. The CVT transmission is a little weird at first but you soon get used to the shift or no shift depending on where your foot is on the accelerator. I have fun working with the transmission keeping the MPG maxed out. Design: The interior is not Lexus quality but it is as good if not better than Honda, Toyota or Subaru. We LOVE the Rockford Fosgate stereo system with the touch screen and deep bass. The illuminated glass roof is a treat at night. The exterior is aggressive and sporty. It turns heads. We had several people ask us what kind of car this was and they liked it. Value: We feel we could not have done better with any other car. The Mitsubishi dealers seem happy to have our business instead of considering it a chore to sell us a car (Honda, Subaru). We bought this car for work commuter duty. We have already decided it will be much more than that."

"I just recently purchased the 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and absolutely love it! I have read several comments from the so-called experts that say the vehicle is sluggish due to its 2.0 liter engine and that it's noisy but I couldn't DISAGREE more. Please take may advice and ignore the so-called experts and try it out I guarantee you will love it as much as I do!"

"We bought this two-year-old vehicle recently with 26.6 K miles on it and agree with another reviewer that you get what you pay for, although we're not disappointed at all as yet. Very good mpg. Very solid with no rattles or squeaks. Fit and finish are at least as good or better than some of the other vehicles in this price range. The use of some soft plastics in the vehicle add to the quality and have a nice feel compared to hard plastics. The dash layout is good looking, as well as ergonomically friendly. The vehicle is good-looking, especially the front view. The 2.0 liter engine gets the job done, although it tends to get bogged down by the CVT under certain conditions. Ours has the CVT with the optional paddle shifter mounted to the steering column and the sport slot on the gear selector which, if utilized correctly by the enthusiast to keep the RPMs in the optimal performance range, helps the engine do a pretty acceptable job rather than depending on the CVT alone to handle things such as accelerating after making a turn or negotiating a hill climb of any length. I don't expect it to handle a heavy load very well, as that is not what this vehicle is designed for. This is not a contender in the Lincoln Navigator or Chevy Suburban range, so don't expect it to do the job of one. This vehicle is not difficult to get in and out of like some other cross-overs and the ride is firm, yet bearable, without jarring it's passengers out the window. There is ample front seat leg room for the average sized adult. Children and smaller adults would do well in the back seat, but leave the Incredible Hulk at home or buy something bigger. We're relying on the Mitsubishi reputation for dependability. Having stepped down from a Navigator this vehicle is everything we expected it to be; Dependable, economical, solid, easy to park and maneuver, good looking and fun to drive. I would not discourage anyone thinking of buying one as long as they can tolerate the road noise/tire noise."

Best New Neighborhood Restaurant (2008)
Big Hoss Bar-B-Q
Not only do Hoss Orwat and his crew make some wicked barbecue, but they've made that wicked barbecue the focus of a great neighborhood restaurant — the kind of place that, in a perfect world, would exist within walking distance of every person's home. This joint draws a crowd from every imaginable demographic — from families out for a meal together to drunken hat boys to weird old guys yelling at the televisions to couples on dates to blissed-out restaurant critics with barbecue sauce under their fingernails. The atmosphere is all convivial weirdness and charm, and the kitchen keeps that good feeling going by turning out great grub in large portions. And above it all is Hoss himself — walking the floor, chewing the fat, buying drinks and generally acting the part of benevolent dictator in this small, delicious and ideal kingdom on Tennyson Street.

Duke falls short in valiant effort
Ronnie McGill's three yard touchdown run 1:38 remaining put North Carolina over the top in a 24-21 victory against Duke today.
It was everything a rivalry game should be, as the Tar Heels and Devils battled toe-to-toe for 60 minutes at UNC's Kenan Stadium.
Duke took the lead with 5:02 to play when Ronnie Drummer scored on a 24-yard reverse for the first touchdown of the second half for either team.
However, the Blue Devils couldn't come up with a game clinching stop on UNC's following possession that ended with McGill touchdown.
Duke's final chance evaporated when Mike Schneider threw an interception with just over a minute to play in the contest.
The loss closes Duke's season at 1-10.
Devils Illustrated will have complete coverage of today's game soon.

Legislature OKs bill to restrict juvenile records
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A bill that would restrict who can access juvenile criminal records has passed the Legislature and now goes to Gov. Jay Inslee for his signature.
Passed by a unanimous vote in the Senate Friday, House Bill 1651 would keep juvenile offender records confidential unless a juvenile has been convicted of certain serious and violent offenses, including a sex offense for which registration is required. The measure unanimously passed the House last month.
Also under the measure, confidential juvenile offender records could not be published, distributed or sold.
Washington is among eight states that does not have juvenile records covered by confidentiality and is one of three states that sell those juvenile records. Since 1977, juvenile offender records have been public unless sealed in accordance with statutory requirements. Non-criminal juvenile records, such as those in a dependency matter or adoption, are not open to the public.

Great article!!
IBM MobileFirst: Tap mobile's full potential
Mary Forlenza 270001BN8C email@example.com | | Tags:  ibm mobilefirst mobile internet_of_things mobile_world_congress mobile_solutions
1 Comments | 6,709 Visits
By Mary Forlenza, IBM Communications, and Joanne MacDonald, Marketing Manager for IBM Mobile
Mobile is one of the fastest growing technologies in history,1 causing organizations to scramble as they adapt to this new primary computing platform for customers, partners and employees wanting to access information and to transact on the spot. Additionally, mobile extends to machine-to-machine connections, making possible the connected car and remote health monitoring.
"As we think about mobile, we can't confine our thinking to devices like phones and tablets. The ability to tag things, sense things, power things and shrink things has extended mobility to nearly every type of object on the planet," says Kristen Lauria, vice president of IBM Mobile Marketing. "As we have said since the start of the Smarter Planet agenda, the world is becoming more instrumented, interconnected and intelligent than ever before and mobile is right at the center of that story," Lauria notes on the IBM Mobile Business Insights Blog.
The most cutting-edge advances in mobile over the next few years will not be in the device itself, but instead what is done with it. Businesses, with CMOs in the lead, will need to transform front-office interactions with constituents to deliver a convenient, relevant and integrated experience across all touch points. CIOs will need to make mobile a primary design point as they connect backend systems of record to new engagement technologies for deep contextual insights and to inform transactions. Mobile apps, devices and infrastructures have to be managed securely. Businesses should leverage cloud-based services to gain contextual data and insights.
Today, companies that employ mobile technology may enjoy only a fraction of the business benefits they could be receiving. Organizations wanting to gain the most value from mobile computing should prepare to take advantage of these five key trends:
Five key mobile trends
To help organizations gain the most value from these mobile trends, at Mobile World Congress in March, IBM announced the IBM MobileFirst portfolio. IBM MobileFirst combines security, management, analytics and app development software, cloud-based services and deep mobile expertise. "According to Gartner research, 70% believe that mobile will be a disruptive technology in the next ten years, followed by analytics, social media and the cloud," reports CMS Wire. "All of these things IBM has considered in its IBM MobileFirst portfolio."
By bringing together technologies such as Worklight, BigFix and Tealeaf; practice areas such as Mobile Enterprise Services and IBM Interactive; thousands of mobile experts and 270 patents in wireless innovations, IBM has already helped nearly 1,000 clients become mobile enterprises.
"With IBM MobileFirst, the company can provide businesses with everything from the mobile device management through tools and services to help companies create mobile applications. This product bundling and integration has the potential to solve a real pain point for customers . . . ," writes Maribel Lopez of Lopez Research in "BYOD Takes Center Stage at Mobile World Congress," Forbes.
How to approach putting your business in motion
Mobile computing is transforming industries today, and eliciting comparisons to the impact of the Internet on our lives. The New York Times states, "I.B.M.'s announcement also signals a realization among many companies that employees and customers are accessing corporate data and services via mobile devices from lots of places, any time of day. This, along with mobile access to cloud computing, is challenging many social and business assumptions."
In one example, Air Canada used IBM software and services to help reinvent the check-in process, and realized an approximately 80 percent reduction in per-check-in cost compared to the traditional counter check-in process. The airline is making the customer experience for check-in seamless, from the mobile device to the gate agent to the kiosk.
To increase business value, organizations must think of mobile not simply in terms of new interfaces added to existing applications, but as an important consideration in their approach to how they connect existing back-end systems, or systems of record, to new systems of engagement with customers, employees and partners.
As mobile customer expectations for financial services have shifted, ING Direct Canada has been making the necessary changes, with IBM's help, to ensure banking with them becomes more relevant and engaging. ING Direct Canada is delivering to its 1.8 million customers innovative, mobile financial services to improve the customer experience, including simplified account access across mobile devices and social media channels, voice recognition and advanced security. For example, the online bank's Orange Snapshot provides customers with a complete view of all their accounts and allows them to pay bills and email money transfers in two clicks. This saves customers' time and avoids requiring multiple log-ins from their devices.
Businesses can plan a comprehensive approach to mobile through IBM MobileFirst services that encompass strategy, design, development and integration. IBM offers new services for building a mobile strategy for employees and customers and for designing optimal mobile experiences. Businesses can assess their mobile progress, and attend workshops to help them develop applications and architect infrastructure.

"A Common Feeling": Regional Identity and Historical Consciousness in the Old Northwest, 1820-1860
Barnhart, Terry A., Michigan Historical Review
Regional identifies are problematic constructions. They are often as imprecise as they are subjective and as ironic as they are relative. Regions are complex cognitive and social landscapes, and the nature of regionalism has been a topic of sustained debate among historians, geographers, political scientists, and students of American literature. (1) How, in fact, does one read a region? Are regionalism and localism nothing more than pride of place? Louis Wirth described regional identity as a subjective expression of perceptual geography--place as a "state of mind" and "a sense of common belonging"--and appropriately cautioned that "regionalism as a dogma can easily degenerate into a cult." (2) Katherine G. Morrissey similarly describes regions as "mental territories," the boundaries of which are drawn by the residents themselves. (3) The individual and collective processes involved in the construction of local and regional identities are important points of inquiry regardless of their problematic nature. Region does matter in American history and culture, although there are certainly those who assert that region is overrated as a category of historical analysis. (4)
A distinct regional identity and historical consciousness emerged in the literature of the Old Northwest between roughly 1820 and 1860. (5) Spokespersons in the states created from the Northwest Territory--Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin--consistently referred to themselves as "Westerners." The common political origins of these states imparted a sense of regional identity among their residents, fostered a common set of cultural aspirations among the region's intelligentsia, and encouraged the search for a sustaining mythology about their origins. In 1827 James Hall of Vandalia, Illinois, characterized regional identity to the members of the Antiquarian and Historical Society of Illinois as "a common feeling." That sense of place and regional ethos remained intact at least until the end of the Civil War. (6) after which time the Old Northwest geographically and culturally became part of the larger and more amorphous Midwest. (7)
Not everyone shared in the sense of regional identity expressed by the Old Northwest's literary and historical writers, nor were all of the region's diverse residents included in the first historical narratives. Indeed, one is compelled to ask, how common was that "common feeling" after all? It was certainly not common to Native Americans, African Americans, or to all upland southerners. The literati of the Old Northwest were predominately either transplanted New Englanders or migrants from the Middle Atlantic states. A few local sons and daughters rounded out the ranks of poets, but most were not natives. Upland southerners vied for political power in the region, but they were not represented among the literary figures who monopolized the process of self-definition. It is difficult to determine the extent to which they shared in the regional identity invoked by transplanted easterners because their voices are not present. The division existing between upland southerners and Yankees in the political culture of the region, however, had its counterpart in the construction of regional identity. The literary culture of the Old Northwest for the most part excluded upland southerners, though less by design perhaps than as a result of the more broadly regional inclinations, interests, and orientations of the easterners (especially New Englanders) who came to dominate the creation of the region's poetry, prose, and history. The interests of the region's upland southerners, by comparison, appear to have been more local in nature and primarily centered on maintaining family networks and wielding political power in competition with the region's Yankee population. (8)
Constructions of regional identity and historical consciousness in the Old Northwest found frequent expression in the transactions of state historical societies and in the writings of poets, novelists, and historians. …

Honestly there isn't much to say about this product. It's average at best and I don't find it to particularly do anything for my face. I put it on sometimes overnight just over my normal moisturizer but I could definitely live without it and I won't be purchasing it again.

This is my holy grail moisturizer. Unfortunately I can't afford it anymore but I can not find one negative thing about the quality. It improved my skin after only a few days of use. Best moisturizer I have ever used. It makes my skin so soft and smooth

i do like this moisturizer it sits nicely on my skin and makeup applies fine over the top of it, some days my skin is dryer and this doesn't seem moisturizing enough which is a bit of a let down from the product description but i find it great for everyday use!

I have been using this for many years as my final application product. This is a gel and as such it is easy to apply and easily absorbed by my skin. It has no fragrance and the texture is light and fresh.
I wear it at night over my nightcream and in the morning on these cold days just to give a bit of extra moisture to my cheeks and under eyes. Again because it absorbs so easily it is not greasy for my face or undereyes. It comes in a tub and for those of you who are skittish about your germs, use a spatula. I always use clean fingers and after application rub the remainder on my hands. It works on hands too. For the quality and usage, it is not expensive.
Recently much ado has been made about sleeping masks... I hate to say it but this has been my sleeping mask for the last decade even topping my oil du jour. Yes I look like an oil slick at night, but I don't care and neither does my partner. What I do care about is the fact that at my age I am still maintaining a very good quality of skin with minimal lines and no dry patches. This is the instrument of my choice to do that.
Will keep buying and always keep one as backup.

This is the best moisturizer I've had for daily use! I use it under my makeup every day and it doesn't leave me oily or dry. It has a gel feel, is not oily, and does NOT cause breakouts!. It is not the best for super dry environments (ex: winter in Wisconsin!), but I use the Clinique Moisture Surge Intense for that! The intense version is a thicker cream and leaves me a bit more oily so I'll usually use that at night and then use this Moisture Surge in the morning before makeup. I just ordered some Moisture Surge tinted moisturizer and I'm excited to get that!
Age: 25-29

The best way I can describe this moisturizer is 'average', at best. I prefer when moisturizers come with a pump, but I was willing to overlook that as this product has so many good reviews. I have very normal skin, not oily or particularly dry, but wanted to give my skin a boost after months of dry winter weather. Its better than nothing, but did nothing to really moisturize my skin. It felt nice when first applied, but five minutes later I felt like I needed to go put more on...and then more. Will not be repurchasing. I much prefer Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel (which is also oil-free).

I received a deluxe sample of this and while I was happy to have and use this gel-creme. The texture is super nice and kind of renewed my interest in Clinique skincare, if I'm honest. It glides on really nicely and lightly and feels comfortable on the skin. It is winter in a cold climate for me, and I was hoping this would hydrate more (given the name)... But it only provided a very light amount of moisture. I could see this being great in more hot and humid weather. I am wondering if this caused me a break-out, but I can't definitely be sure that it did.

After a mad moment during which I declared my love for Clinique - very out of character for me as a nature girl - I bought this for my skin that was rejecting the change to English weather after living in the sun for a few years.
The most important thing for me is that this is oil-free. One of the reasons I've returned to the less natural side of skin care is because oil is my biggest acne trigger (I don't care what these OCM people say) and oil-free products are rare in the natural world.
I like the silkiness this has to the touch, it feels luxurious and a little goes a long way in application. The moisturising properties, however, are a little disappointing as it seems to pick up on all my dry patches and my skin still doesn't feel as comfortable as it could. A random effect is that is seems to encourage me to have a hot flush not long after I've applied it...probably not a good sign in terms of reactions :(
So all in all, I won't repurchase, especially as I have my eye on the new Nars Aqua Gel!

Bought this in duty free and so sorry I didn't try a sample first. This is overrated in my opinion. Firstly looks nice, although dislike that you have to keep dunking your fingers in. Prefer pumps etc. the texture is beautiful.. for the first 2 mins then it feels like a horrible fake mask film over your face. No moisturising in my experience. I have combi skin. So not too dry but this offered no moisturising and my skin felt dreadfully dull. The next day, looks like all that silicone feel and sealed in by film did it's trick as horrible little rasht breakout all over which hasn't happened for a while as I've been sticking to gel moisturisers and such. I'm now trying kiehls gel. Hope for the best. Trying to find a replacement for creme de la mer gel moisturiser. Just something that soothes and won't irritant while providing gentle moisture. Minimising pores and providing balance and glow would be great!! Any suggestions???

This is the best overnight lotion. Hydrate perfectly into skin and does not cause breakouts. Would highly recommend

text: 1530s, "the mind in its primary state," from Latin tabula rasa, literally "scraped tablet," from which writing has been erased, thus ready to be written on again, from tabula (see table) + rasa, fem. past participle of radere "to scrape away, erase" (see raze). A loan-translation of Aristotle's pinakis agraphos, literally "unwritten tablet" ("De anima," 7.22).
