David B. Muhlhausen is a leading expert on criminal justice programs in The Heritage Foundation's Center for Data Analysis. A Research Fellow in Empirical Policy Analysis at the think tank, Muhlhausen has testified frequently before Congress on the efficiency and effectiveness of law enforcement grants administered by the U.S. Justice Department.
Muhlhausen rose to national prominence in 2001 with publication of his analysis showing the highly touted Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program to be a waste of taxpayer dollars. His research illustrated that COPS neither had put 100,000 new police officers on the street nor reduced violent crime.
His work prompted Vice President Joseph Biden, at the time a U.S. senator from Delaware and chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Crime and Drugs, to call a hearing specifically to investigate Muhlhausen's findings. "I want to have a hearing on what has been, from The Heritage Foundation and other places, criticism that the COPS program does not work," Biden said in opening the hearing.
In addition to testifying on issues such as parole, prisoner re-entry and the death penalty, Muhlhausen in recent years delved into voter registration issues. His analysis of voter registration at welfare agency offices helped debunk myths that welfare reform led to lower-income Americans becoming disenfranchised.
The Washington Post, The Washington Times and Forbes magazine are among publications that have cited Muhlhausen's research. He has been interviewed on national television newscasts, including PBS' "Newshour with Jim Lehrer," MSNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews," CNN's "Lou Dobbs Moneyline" and Fox News Channel's "O'Reilly Factor" and "Special Report."
Muhlhausen joined Heritage in 1999 after serving on the staff for the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he specialized in crime and juvenile justice policies. Prior to that, he was a manager at a juvenile correctional facility in Baltimore.
He holds a doctorate in public policy from the University of Maryland-Baltimore County and a bachelor's degree in political science and justice studies from Frostburg State University.
In addition to his work at Heritage, Muhlhausen is an adjunct professor at George Mason University, teaching program evaluation and statistical methods to graduate students.
A native of Colorado, Muhlhausen grew up in Maryland. He currently resides in Falls Church, Va.

The Balasaheb Thackeray phenomenon: A hatke view
We Indians breathe regionalism and hence regional leaders become icons. How exactly did Balasaheb Thackeray touch the heart of the "Marathi Manoos"?
The "Marathi Manoos" loves the Intellect. He loves forthrightness, courage of conviction, creativity and sarcasm! He also loves anyone who worships Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Balasaheb Thackeray was an embodiment of all these put together with an additional bonanza of possessing political acumen which he executed through his political party—Shiv Sena—the name inspired by the great Maratha King.
The "Marathi Manoos" especially during the 1960s and 70s possessed a hidden inferiority complex aptly portrayed recently by the Marathi movie "Mee Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy". Now, with the world having become a global village and Maharashtrians playing a big role in different professions (including the IT industry in a big way); entrepreneurship and easy availability of English school education, the level of confidence has surely shot up, but the "inferiority complex" thing still lies subconsciously hidden. Also, history lovers love to bring out the aspect of the historical animosity between the Northern and Maratha Empires that still perhaps lingers. It is these two aspects that Balasaheb used to good effect when he launched his fledgling political party, Shiv Sena, in 1966 to amplify the "Marathi Manoos" rhetoric.
The very idea that someone is taking up the cause of the locals in terms of employment and regional identity surely aroused curiosity and interest going by the five lakh Mumbaikars who were present at the first public speech of Balasaheb Thackeray at Shivaji Park in Dadar (where he was also cremated). Thereafter, besides the breaking of the leftist-socialist trade unions that dominated Mumbai then, he had already carved his place in the heart of every Maharashtrian living in and outside Maharashtra, even overseas, for the "Marathi Manoos" identity.
With a formidable network of Shiv Sena branches all over Mumbai, other cities and towns and Shiv Sainiks who were ready to obey his orders of taking law into their own hands, often with indulgence in violence and destruction of public property, Balasaheb created the "fear factor" to which even law enforcing authorities often relented. No one wants to take 'panga' with the Shiv Sainiks and this has led to their extortion tactics in various ways particularly in the industrial belts. Even if we give the benefit of the doubt to Balasaheb Thackeray for being ignorant on this front, the fact is, it has reached cancerous proportions today. At the other end, local level Shiv Sainiks are well connected with the aam aadmi and do address individual and community issues.
Balasaheb's control over Mumbai with the mere raising of his hand is authoritarian in nature. Subsequently, we have seen Raj Thackeray, a natural successor of Balasaheb in terms of his firebrand personality effusing the same rhetoric with much the same style. Thus, taking law into your hands continues. Uddhav Thackeray the pronounced official successor is a great organizer but is too mild-mannered to fit into the image of the Shiv Sena associated with aggressiveness. Balasaheb was a political brand that was fiery; Raj has followed his footsteps.
However, what has happened to the Marathi Manoos in these six decades that Balasaheb Thackeray ruled? Psychologically it may have given strength to the Marathi identity and made the migrants aware that they better respect the "Karma bhoomi" (Maharashtra) but the stark reality is large scale unemployment amongst the Maharaashtrian youth, especially in urban slums. Drug and alcoholic addiction has become rampant. Laziness has set in with a harsh tone of arrogance as a livelihood, but extortion has become common practice.
Perhaps Balasaheb's passing away might bring in the two warring cousins together considering that Uddhav's health is not in its pinkest. If, as BJP insiders say, the coming together of the two cousins is a definite reality, the fact is, Uddhav will have to play second fiddle. Would he do that? Would Raj be magnanimous enough to share political advantage which has automatically come his way?
Whatever the future is, the question will be whether the raising of junior Thackerays' hands are enough for Mumbai and Maharashtra to obey their command? Perhaps that era has been consigned to flames. With anti-corruption movements steered by Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal wherein the awareness of good and corruption-free governance is increasing amongst citizens, it will require the Thackerays to deliver much more than just indulging in fear psychosis and the "Marathi Manoos" rhetoric. If they make themselves relevant to the times, the Marathi Manoos will still pledge by them.

Good beginning. For real change, the same economic criteria can be applied to everyone. RAVI RAM PV
Dr Subramanian Swamy sworn in as Member of Parliament
Sudhir Jatar 3 years ago
In my comment below on Vineeta Deshmukh's article, I have stated facts duly supported by evidence. The theme of my comment is that the actions and reactions are equal and opposite or more. In this case, the reaction is more than the action because of Thakeray's personality. That is why I am weaving my argument around vote-bank secularism in which our so-called secular political parties excel. My whole argument is based on the our propensity towards vote-bank secularism.
What happened to the two girls who were arrested was not government policy. In fact, newspapers have reported that the DGP had given both written and verbal orders not to arrest the girls. Then how come the juniors took the law in their own hands?
This is because the 'rank & file' is indoctrinated with the anti-minority sentiments by quoting various instances, which are factual.
One has to interpret Mumbai politics.
The fear complex does pose a threat to India. The major division in Indian polity is "secular Vs. communal" without precisely defining the meanings of these terms.
The influential voices said what they said on the death of Thakeray either out of fear of Shiv Sena ransacking them or to wean away Thakeray's vote-bank in the aftermath of the death of the only figure with charisma in SS. This is clearly evidenced by the arrests of the two girls who posted the commonly felt view on face book and the repercussions that followed in a state governed by 'secular' parties. Note that out of the ten miscreants who ransacked the 'uncle's' clinic, four were Muslims.
Obsequiousness is certainly a trait of the Indian. Look at all political parties except perhaps the BJP and the Left. All are servile to their 'leader' who is supreme no matter if he or she if half-educated (VII standard pass or fail) or is not born in India or pre-partition India!
Thakeray's fascism was born out of 'vote-bank' secularism. In India, 'secularism' largely means "reaching out to the minority community, which is a vote-bank." This has become a pre-condition to prove one's secular credentials. Mani Shankar Iyer, as the Petroleum Minister, removed the plaque in memory of Savarkar in the Cellular Jail in the Andamans where Savarkar spent over 20 years and the major part of his youth. Correspondingly, Iyer spent these years in the Foreign Service having the best of everything. However, Iyer 'forgot' to object to the sound & light show for the tourists at the Cellular Jail, which eulogised Savarkar. Obviously, he just wanted to curry favour with Congress vote-bank by making an issue out of a non-issue when he went to unveil the plaque at the Cellular Jail.
It is the narrow parochialism of our political parties, vote-bank politics, wooing the minorities etc that has brought up the likes of Thakeray and Bhindranwale. And it will continue until the our 'secular' parties mend their ways.
The present day concept of "secularism" is "sanctimonious" and reaching out to the minorities to prove one's secular credentials as Amitabha Bagchi says in his article in the Outlook magazine. "Pseudo" secularism has become "vote-bank" secularism, which is "sanctimonious", "hypocritical" and wooing Muslims at the cost of other minorities. Government's education scheme is a blatant example. The minority scholarships are granted centrally but selections are state-wise. The result is that minorities are identified centrally and made eligible. Hence, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians are eligible for minority scholarships even in the states where they are in a majority. But Hindus who are in minority in these states are not eligible for scholarships because 'minority' is identified for the whole country.
Thus, it has not taken long to convert "vote-bank" secularism into a commercial venture on which a large number of so-called intellectuals are thriving today. This is corruption and is ailing India. Thakeray took advantage of the situation and exploited it to his self-promotion. The national secular project is certainly going to die and the cause will be that these secularists have converted secularism into a commercial venture where corruption rules and fascism thrives.
Thakeray was promoted by the Congress to fight the Left, which was taking over the trade unions in Mumbai. The top brass of the Mumbai industries was entirely non-Maharashtrian. Thakeray exploited this situation, not by objecting to the top brass being non-Maharashtrian but violently making it known that Shiv Sena would not accept the top brass bringing in skilled and unskilled labour from the states to which they belonged into Mumbai. It was the slogan, "Mumbai for Maharashtrians". Obviously, were it not for the folly of the non-Marathis to import labour from outside Maharashtra violating the labour laws that made Thakeray win over the Marathi speaking lower middle class. You still find that echo in the rank and file of the police force who, on their own initiative, arrested the two innocent girls who tweeted on the face book after his death. It is the perception that matters; not always the reality. It is thus that he targeted different groups at different times. It was part of a well crafted strategy; not merely fascism. Again, it is incorrect to say that Shiv Sena did not do anything for the down trodden. SS adopted slums in the 60s and 70s and that is the reason why even Bangladeshi migrants living in Mumbai slums vote for the SS.

One of the greatest leaders of Maharashtra.He was always proven right and spoke from the heart.He saved Sikhs from being massacred in Maharashtra.He though his remote control changed the injustice that took place in Kashmir in 1993 with regards to Amarnath Piligrims. When extremist said that they wont allow hindus to visit amarnath cave, our pm and defence minister at that time couldnt do anything. Balasaheb, true to his style, didnt care what pandits and paid media would say, warned that if Hindus were not allowed to visit Amarnath Cave, he would not allow any muslim to visit haj from. The mere statement changed the game and the extremists had to back off. No leader in India had the courage and conviction to say the right thing at the right time inspite of the fear of being unpopular to the Page 3 party going learned journos and people. Hats off to Balasaheb, a true hindurudaysamrat who cared for all religions. He helped many muslims too. He was only anti nationals,Not anti muslim. He trusted a indian muslim doctor and not like some italian queen who goes to america for treatment (? for what).The page 3 paid journos will never question her. The greatness of Balasaheb lies in the fact that he opened up his politics as he saw minority appeasement on the rise and some party who claimed to be Hindutuvawadi party were following Gandhian Socialism. He never cared for his image, never back tracked, there was no printing mistakes in his paper..Truly a legend. I paid last respects to him by going from Mahim to Shivaji Park. And yes i am not a shiv sainik nor SS has given me anything..But i owe this man a lot..

I am not able to understand where these commentators get their information from. Some say "more than a million people" attended his funeral; some others, including TV channels, put it around "two million". And according to the police, if newspaper reports are to be believed, the figure is around 2 to 3 lakh!
Looks like everything about this man is grossly exaggerated. And since our society believes in not talking ill of the dead, people are trying to discover or invent a virtue in every act of his. Wonder whether the literate class is the biggest enemy of history as well as our nation.

Variation in the figure attending is not the reason for deriding the person's thinking. You are entittled to your views. Please respect other peoples similar entitlement and if you disagree, use logic and reason to counter the arguments.
Another important issue. I hope you castigate other public personalities with similar venom. If yes, I don't see any evedence of it on any blog. And I view a lot many of them. Being selective causes more harm than good.

The rumor mongers in the Main Stream Media, the libtards and the sickularists could not simply digest the fact that more than a million people converged at Mumbai for Balasaheb's final journey and yet not a single instance of violence was reported. In order to overcome their strong feeling of disappointment, articles like this started coming out. In all fairness, Vinita Deshmukh is not the only person to write on these lines. There were many others. While this article may not have been "Cut and past" from other such articles, the feelings expressed are definitely cut and paste from other such pieces, though the author has put it in her own words! Even the libtards are not retards to the extent of blatantly doing a cut and paste job!
Coming back to Balasaheb, let me tell you this. I am from Karnataka. Balasaheb acted against people from my state in the late sixties and early seventies. That was a different era, different social context. It may be difficult for us to look at those events from today's social perspective and pass comments. What he gave to marathi manoos was a sense of identity. A sense of pride. A sense of belongingness. To that extent he was successful.

Stupidity on Parade
USA Today. The Times editorial page. Your local newspaper.
To review: Meth mouth describes the rampant tooth decay and loss observed in some users of methamphetamine. But as the Merck Manual of Medical Information explains, such tooth decay can result whenever the production of saliva is inhibited. Meth and other drugs—some blood-pressure medications, for example—can shut down the saliva glands. Denied the regular flush of saliva that keeps teeth cleansed of bacteria, the mouth becomes a dank decay factory. Many meth users turn to sugared sodas to alleviate "dry mouth," and the sugar only fuels the decay-causing bacteria. If the meth user neglects his dental hygiene, as many reportedly do, it's goodbye choppers, hello dentures.
Although no scientific study links any chemical found in street methamphetamine with tooth decay, dentists, dental technicians, editorialists, and well-meaning citizens continue to offer their awesome stupidity to the press, and the press publishes it as fact. Here's a recent sampling:
The drug is made with an acid, and can damage every tooth so bad that people need dentures because the damage is too extensive to fix, [Dr. Carter Wright] said. — Times-Standard(Eureka, Calif.), Nov. 4
"Those chemicals in there, they eat your teeth up, just burn them up," Dental Technician Zenobia Pope said. —KWCH 12 (Hutchinson-Wichita, Kans.), Nov. 7
Dr. Hugh Ogletree, a Phenix City dentist, frequently sees the drug's toxic fallout when he treats Russell County jail inmates who are addicts.
"I can look at their mouth and tell," Ogletree said. "The hydrochloric acid dissolves the minerals in the teeth. You pour hydrochloric acid on a car fender and it will eat a hole in it." — Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, Oct. 26
Another effect is "meth mouth"—tooth decay that results from a poor diet, a lack of dental hygiene and the corrosive properties of the drug. — Laramie Boomerang(Wyo.), Oct. 26
Also, the majority of heavy users must seek medical care due to "meth mouth," which refers to the rotting of their teeth from smoking poisonous substances like drain cleaner. — Oscoda Press (Mich.), Oct. 26
Prisons are seeing higher dental expenditures because of "meth mouth," or tooth decay, due to constant exposure to caustic chemicals. — Metro Pulse (Knoxville, Tenn.), Sept. 21
Some of the worst cases involve patients who smoke methamphetamine, a drug made from hydrochloric acid, [Dr. Mark] Buckner said. The disease is commonly called, ''Meth mouth.''
''It totally eats away the enamel and causes severe decay, to the point that all they've got left are roots,'' Buckner said. — Birmingham News (Ala.), Sept. 2
But none of this misinformation approaches the advanced stupidity achieved by the editorial writers at the Calgary Herald for the newspaper's Aug. 15 edition. They write:
Just as kids were shown smoke-blackened, cancerous lungs, they should learn about such things as "meth mouth," caused by the body excreting the drug. For days after its use, the crystals ooze from the skin and literally rot the gums from accumulation.
Thanks to my old friend Jeff Riggenbach, who I believe coined the phrase "the awesome stupidity of the common herd." Thanks also go out to Daniel Radosh for alerting me to the USA Today bogus trend story and to the unnamed editorial writer who spotted the Times' courageous stand against insurrection. Send your tips and your favorite turn of phrase to email@example.com. (E-mail may be quoted by name unless the writer stipulates otherwise.)

Fender Frontman 25r
anyone have any scathing reviews of this amp? I was looking to get it for Christmas. I've been playing guitar for less than a year and I'm just using it to play at home. Really need to upgrade my squirt amp with just volume, treble, and bass knobs
not much of an upgrade. take a look at the mustangs, you can start getting your feet wet in effects.
was also looking at the DigiTech RP255 to go along with it
I had a fender frontman 15R as my first amp and it was pretty bad.
Vyper or Mustang. Both have plenty of built in effects so the RP may not be needed. Though will be fun to have.
For $250 though, I bet you could find a killer used amp. If youre interested
could you be a little more specific? I'm playing a Fender SP-10 right now
I had a Frontman. They break easy. They dont sound very good. A Peavey Vyper or Fender Mustang would do you better. I feel personally.
I bet if you searched like a hawk you could get a vyper tube 60 which are loved around these parts
should have mentioned the budget is only around $100 US
he means that the vypyr and the mustang have effects built into the amp, so the digitech you are looking at wouldn't be necessary. the effects the amp have built into them are pretty much the same thing as what the RP255 has.
so a mustange is pretty much the same thing as a frontman with a RP255. if you are planning on getting a RP255 then those effects may be a bit better than the built in amp effects, but they are similar concepts: amp modelers, pedals, etc.
Though the mustangs are actually pretty damn good.
Certainly better than many of their peers.
even if I just get the Fender Mustang I? Still better than Frontman + RP255?
If you can afford to spend up to $300 buy a 2nd hand Mustang II and have some cash left over.
I don't know how you think you can afford any sort of upgrade. Keep saving and don't waste your money.
How can you get the FM and RP with $100 bucks? Just curious. Thats where I came up with $250..
Get the Stang or Vyper. Skip the FM
2 Christmas gifts coming from two different people
Oh, well if its a gift, then play it into the ground. Why not. The FM will last a year, maybe two. The RP will be fun to mess around with. My friend had the larger version, and It was a blast to use. Not the best quality sound, but definitely some fun times to be had.
get two gift cards, pool it and buy an amp with fx.
yes that'll be better than the fender 25 and an fx pedal.
i have a fender 25.
The Fender frontman 25 r is a really good amp. I use it in performances with my jazz band all the time. Very simple, and able to produce a really nice tone. If you only have 100 dollars I say pull the trigger.
My Fender 25 is the amp I let my friends borrow when they want to learn guitar. I usually get it back within a month because they hate it and they buy a Vox VT30.
And I know you probably wanna play with sounds. So the RP is an awesome choice. I use those two together. Download the X-Edit program that comes with it. It's a blast.
I have the 25R and to be honest, It's pretty horrible.
The built in distortion is absolutely crap. The cleans are OK but it sounds trebly since it has a 10" speaker.

my dad just bought a crayfish for my 29 gallon against my better judgement and he has already tried to eat my female betta fish and one of my ghost shrimp. I dont have anywhere else to put him and i'm nervous out of my mind that overnight he will kill one of my good fish. what do crayfish eat besides the obvious live fish. if i feed him more than usual i hope he wont go after my fish as much. this should just be a temporary thing because i will return him within the next couple of days.
Crayfish will kill stuff just cause quite often. If they can grab it, it will kill it, doesn't matter if it plans to eat it. Put it in a bucket.. with a lid, unless you have a better arrangement for it.
I replied to your other thread also, but depending on the cray, they will eat just about anything including eachother.

The Batman is back. And this time, he's got wheels.
Of course, Batman: Arkham Knight, the third and final game in Rocksteady Studios' best-in-class superhero trilogy (the last installment, Arkham Origins, was not developed by Rocksteady), is about a lot more than riding around in the Batmobile. It's about the Caped Crusader saving Gotham from The Scarecrow, who has turned the city into an evacuated ghost town after threatening to infect its citizens with fear gas. It's about criminals and vengeance and justice and people dressing up in ridiculous outfits to do ridiculous things.
But mostly, it's about the Batmobile, because in Arkham Knight, the Batmobile is a thing of beauty and terror.
We've seen hundreds of Batmobile treatments over the years, from the campy to the menacing to the downright ugly. Arkham Knight's take on the famous vehicle, designed in conjunction with DC Comics, distills these things into a slick, bruising battering ram that turns the streets of Gotham into Batman's personal playground.
During a thirty-minute demo at the Game Developer's Conference, brand manager Dax Ginn and partner-in-crime-fighting Gaz Deaves (who together present the most imposing name combo in all of gaming) showed how Batman's famous steed plays into the action.
Batman can summon his car from anywhere on Gotham's enormous map (it's the biggest video game version of the city thus far), flipping into the air and hopping directly into the driver's seat without skipping a beat. The car is nigh indestructible, as evidenced by Gaz driving the thing through traffic cones, cement barricades, stop signs, garbage bins, lamp posts, other cars, trees, and pretty much anything else that isn't a building or Gotham Bay. The sense of destruction is stunning. They should rename this game Batman: Property Damage.
The Batmobile offers gamers a new way to explore Gotham, as in past games most of the good stuff happened up on the rooftops. With the emphasis on street level traversal, Rocksteady has upped the level of detail significantly. Yes, they've once again whipped up a story that conveniently clears Gotham of its pesky citizens (and clears the way for a steady framerate, though the demo had some issues), but Gotham still feels denser and more lived-in than the empty museum atmosphere of last year's somewhat disappointing Batman: Arkham Origins.
Batman's still Batman, though. An eject button will launch Batman out of the Batmobile, sending him high into the air to glide around Gotham. Gamers will still leap from ledges and "fly" across the city to reach objectives. Batman still fights gangs of thugs effortlessly and has picked up a few new tricks, like the ability to steal and use enemy weapons. This is an Arkham game through and through.
It's also the debut of a brand new Batman villain. He's called the Arkham Knight, a gun-toting, armored plated riff on Batman created specifically for the game. It's unclear if he's actually another villain in disguise, a disgruntled lover, some pissed-off street cleaning guy, or just another maniac, but comic book fans will be alternately stoked and shocked that the game is daring to go off script and introduce some new lore to the franchise. Considering the sheer awesomeness of Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, it certainly deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Besides, fans will be universally thrilled to hear that Kevin Conroy, inarguably the best Batman ever, returns to voice the Dark Knight. The gang's all here, for that matter: fresh off his spectacular turn as The Joker in Arkham Orgins, Troy Baker will voice Two Face, while Origins Batman Roger Craig-Smith will take on the role of The Penguin.
But the real stars are Batman, his car, and the city he's destined to save. Rocksteady has high hopes Arkham Knight, and having seen it in action, I do, too. Look for more revelations before the game releases for the Xbox One, PS4 and PC in October.

LONDON — Several European nations tightened security Monday and urged citizens to stay vigilant as Interpol warned of possible retaliatory attacks for the U.S. killing of Osama bin Laden.
Extra police across the U.K. were put on alert for any indications of terror plots and to watch for lone gunmen, a British official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Embassies across the continent saw extra security. The ANSA news agency reported increased security at Rome's Leonardo da Vinci airport, and police were also more visible at the Duomo cathedral in Milan.
British Prime Minister David Cameron cautioned in a televised statement that the country needs to be "particularly vigilant in the weeks ahead." The government also warned Britons abroad to be cautious in public places and to avoid demonstrations and large crowds.

Burmese Reality Check
Trefor Moss, Flashpoints
AP Photo
Aung San Suu Kyi drew criticism last week when she warned the World Economic Forum against "reckless optimism" concerning Burma's reform process. Some considered her remarks to be excessively negative, while others focused on alleged shortcomings in her management of her own political party, the National League for Democracy.
But already, Suu Kyi's call for "healthy scepticism" towards the remaking of Burma has been completely vindicated.

Dear R.M.,
Dear Deal Detective:
I live in Massachusetts and my son lives in Oregon. No matter how many good deals I find, there never seem to be any good nonstop flights. All trips include stopping in some hub for a few hours at least. Is there any way to shorten a transcontinental trip without flying a redeye?
I assume you're most likely to fly between Boston and Portland, so I did a search of all daily flights departing between those two airports. Of the 364 daily flights, only five are listed as "direct," and none are "nonstop." The direct flights are offered by American, United, and Delta. (Here's a good explanation of the difference between direct and nonstop flights, incidentally.)
When I expanded my search to include nearby alternate airports (Manchester and Providence) I got a total of 558 flights—but still no nonstops. There were also no nonstops from the Boston area to Eugene, Oregon.
In other words, to phrase it like a native New Englander, "Yeh can't get they-ah from he-ah." (Sorry.) Your best bet is probably one of the five direct flights, which at least means you won't have to change planes at the connecting airport. You could also try some city combinations that would require driving to or from one of the two cities, like Boston to Seattle, which would at least get you a nonstop flight, but likely wouldn't save you any time or money.
If you'd like to check flight schedules yourself, I used SmarterTravel's own handy flight search tool.
Dear Deal Detective:
My husband and I (and possibly our little munchkin) would love to travel to Los Cabos from Sacramento. I have come across some really tantalizing "all-inclusive" packages, and I'm wondering if this is the most economical way to go? Is it in fact more economical ... or just more convenient? Help me see the truth!
In general, all-inclusive trips are a good deal if you plan to use a lot of the facilities and services included in the package, and not such a good deal if you just use the airfare, hotel, and meal components. In any case, checking it out is very easy. Look up the best airfare deals you can find for your travel dates, look up the rates on a comparable hotel, add in an appropriate amount to cover whatever meals and activities are included, plus a guess for the value of any other components included in the package (transfers or such), and then add them up and see whether the separate charges are lower or higher than the all-inclusive price.
Dear Deal Detective:
My husband and I have always wanted to go to Spain and have heard of wonderful places all over the country. Could you suggest a few cities or towns we could plan to visit, since it's not practical to see everything in a week? Both of us love good food, art, and architecture ... we're also up for driving
through the countryside and stopping at small towns with cute B&Bs. (We're on a low budget). Also I do have San Sebastian on my list. Please help, I feel like I'm spinning and can't decide on a specific itinerary.
Normally I don't answer the "where should I go" kinds of questions, but you're in luck because a) I happen to love Spain, and b) I'm planning another trip there myself.
I'm very partial to Catalonia and think it's a great place to spend time. If you haven't already been, Barcelona is a must-see, especially if you like architecture. The Gaudi and other art nouveau buildings around the city are amazing, the food is good, and it's a pretty and pleasant place. From Barcelona, you can take day trips to places like Sitges, a beach town about 45 minutes south on the train; Montserrat in the mountains; Figueres, home of the Dalí museum; Tarragona if you like Roman history; and Cadaquez on the Costa Brava, which I recall being about an hour and 15 minutes up the coast by car (on a road with hairpin turns), and where you can find little quiet inlets along the water, claim a big flat rock, and make a day of sunning yourself and swimming in the clear sea.
If San Sebastian is on the list, you might also consider visiting the Guggenheim in Bilbao. And, you'll be close to the La Rioja wine region. If you do end up in the south, consider visiting Granada. The Alhambra is a true spectacle and the city of Granada is charming. I'd also recommend Cadiz, a small beach town.
If you're interested in B&B type accommodations because they offer a unique experience, you might also want to look into Spanish paradores (similar to pousadas in Portugal, paradores are inns in such unique structures as manor homes or castles). You can search for accommodations by type on the Spain tourism website. It's also a good resource for things such as maps of UNESCO World Heritage cities, national parks, and ideas for driving routes.
And finally, if you're looking for more planning resources, I encourage you to check out our Spain travel guide, which rates websites devoted to travel in Spain.
Dear Deal Detective:
I'm interested in a Northern Europe cruise. Is September a good month weather-wise? And would the rates be cheaper than going during the
summer months?
Dear M.O.,
In general, rates are almost always cheaper to any cruise destination outside of the summer months. In the case of Northern Europe, the bigger problem is that most lines don't offer Northern Europe cruises in September. I found a handful departing within the first week of September, but none after that.
If you want to broaden your search a bit, but stick to cheaper sailings, consider looking into May cruises as well. (You'll have to wait till next year for that, of course.) May and September are the tail ends of the Scandinavia and Russia cruise season, and will typically have lower prices than the peak summer months. You might be a little chillier during these shoulder-season months, but with the money you save on your cruise fare you can afford to buy an extra sweater.
That's it for this month. Need help finding a deal for your next trip? Email me your requests. Please be aware that due to the volume of requests I receive, I cannot always personally respond to every email. The more compelling your question—and the more specific you are with your departure city and desired travel dates—the better the chance you'll be selected for an upcoming case.
All prices, dates, and booking details listed here were valid at the time of publication. Some information may have changed since that time.

All over the MidSouth, and especially in Tipton County, preparations are underway for an ice storm expected to rival the 1994 storm folks still talk about.
You know the one: it hit Tipton County on Feb. 11, 1994 and paralyzed the county for several days. The Feb. 23 issue of The Leader reported preliminary damage estimates at $476,000 and shared stories of neighbors coming together over camping stoves and law partners spending several days in their offices because they didn't have heat at home.
That storm was the worst the county had seen since 1951 and the storm we're expecting tomorrow has been predicted to be just as bad.
The National Weather Service has place Tipton County under an ice storm warning and has given the following precautions:
An Ice Storm Warning means severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring. Significant amounts of ice accumulations will make travel dangerous or impossible. Travel is strongly discouraged. Commerce will likely be severely impacted. If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency. Ice accumulations and winds will likely lead to snapped power lines and falling tree branches that add to the danger.
Closings and contingency plans have started coming in to our office and those are available at our special Ice Storm 2013 page here.

Happy to hear G is feeling better. I get out and walk my dog for 1/2 hour on sunny days and that helps my mood. Today is rainy, but we walked nevertheless.
Doctor put me on a drug commonly used for pain and especially for post herpatic pain and neuralgia. Trying to remember the name, but it was something like Splenda or Electra. It made me delerious. But I always was a cheap drunk.
Now, I remember it was Lyrica. Doc said it would make me fell lyrical. He is always cracking bad jokes.

I probably shouldn't mention specific drugs here, but my experience with meds for nerve pain is that Lyrica was the best out there. My insurance wouldn't pay for it so we dug deep and bought it ourselves, and it made it possible for me to continue with our plan to visit India. Shame there's such a markup on Rx in this country. It should be available to all.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata doesn't have enough work to do. He currently commands Nintendo from his home in Japan. Nintendo of America hasn't been keeping up with Iwata's vision of success, however. That's why he will be stepping in as the Nintendo of America CEO soon as well. Current NOA CEO Tatsumi Kimishima will be flown back to Japan (presumably to be punished).
The new job comes as Nintendo attempts to improve Wii U sales in the west. There's no word yet on how this will affect Iwata's free time and marriage. Word is that Iwata also has his eye on a janitor gig at Nintendo of Europe which has been described as "pretty sweet." Stay tuned for more on this story as it hits the web.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - A high school project is now on the shelves at Wal-Mart.
East Noble High School Teacher Jim Walmsley wanted his students to learn about business. So he approached Atz's Ice Cream, about his class creating a new ice cream flavor.
Atz took it a step further and told Walmsley the class should try to sell the new flavor to major businesses.
And the students did just that.
The new flavor is called Sweet Tooth with carmel cups, fudge, and cream cookies.
Even though the students created the flavor, one student still has not tasted the final product.
East Noble High School Sophomore Katie Sharp says, "My mom is waiting to get a coupon."
The new flavor can be bought at the Atz Ice Cream shops or at local Wal-Mart stores.

She's famed on the Internet as the Bloggess ("like Mother Teresa, only better") and also writes an (I hope) tongue-in-check parenting column and a self-styled satirical sex column that must be sizzly because my office computer denies me access. Here, Lawson revisits her rural Texas childhood. With lots of media attention expected and comparisons to Chelsea Handler, this book is one to watch.[Page 58]. (c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
In punchy chapters that cover a fairly uneventful life in the southern Republican regions, blogger Lawson achieves an exaggerated sarcasm that occasionally attains a belly laugh from the reader ("I grew up a poor black girl in New York. Except replace 'black' with 'white' and 'New York' with 'rural Texas' "), but mostly descends into rants about bodily functions and dead animals spiced with profanity. The daughter of a taxidermist whose avid foraging and hunting filled their "violently rural" Wall, Tex., house with motley creatures like raccoons and turkeys and later triggered some anxiety disorder, Lawson did not transcend her childhood horrors so much as return to them, marrying at age 22 a fellow student at a local San Angelo college, Victor, and settling down in the town with a job in "HR" while Victor worked "in computers." In random anecdotal segments Lawson treats the vicissitudes of her 15-year marriage, the birth of daughter Hailey after many miscarriages, some funny insider secrets from the HR office, and an attempt to learn to trust women by spending a weekend in California wine country with a group of bloggers. With little substantive writing on these subjects, however, Lawson's puerile sniggering and potty mouth gets old fast. Agent: Neeti Madan, Sterling Lord. (Apr.)[Page ]. Copyright 2012 PWxyz LLC

The Sage Colleges Announces Athletic Hall of Fame Inductees for 2010
The Sage Colleges has announced the inductees for the 2010 class for The Colleges Athletic Hall of Fame. The two inductees are a pair of former mens basketball players, Chad Thomas (Rochester, NY) and James Taylor (Albany, NY).
The pair will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday, March 27 at a 7 p.m. banquet to be held at Carmelas Banquet House (Rensselaer, NY). The event costs $40 per person and please RSVP to Rosaire Murphy by telephone at 518-244-2283 or via email email@example.com by Monday, March 22.
Sage started the Athletic Hall of Fame in 1993 and has previously inducted 21 individuals, including 17 former student-athletes. Taylor and Thomas become the first male student-athletes to join the hall of fame after excelling on the hardwood for the former Sabres mens basketball program at JCA.
During his playing career at JCA, Thomas helped to rewrite the mens basketball records. Thomas played for the team during the 1993-1995 seasons and tallied a program-high 1,229 points. He added 452 rebounds during those two seasons, which ranks fourth on the all-time career list as well, while holding the school career mark for most steals with 230. Twice during his career, he surpassed the 40-point plateau during a game as he netted 42 points against Hesser and 41 against Genesee. He also holds the school mark for most steals in a game (11), and is third with blocked shots in a contest (6). He averaged 23.6 ppg for his second season with the program in 1994-1995 after racking up 638 points with 121 steals, all program high water marks.
He left Sage as the all-time leading scorer, while also ranking earning Junior College All-America honors. He became the first program to attend a Division I program after JCA as he attended the University of Rhode Island after his graduation. He was named the Defensive Player of the Year at URI in both 1996 and 1997 and helped the 1997 team earn a spot in the NCAA Division I Tournament.
Since his time at JCA, he earned his bachelors degree from URI in 1998 and went on to earn his masters degree from Nazareth College in 2004. A former high school business teacher for six years, he also coached girls varsity basketball for four years. He is currently employed as a high school teacher in Rochester, NY.
Taylor also excelled for the JCA during his career and graduated in 1989. He served as the squads team captain during his senior season. The previous year, he earned NJCAA Region III Honorable Mention honors and was named to the 1988-89 NJCAA Region III Third Team as a senior. He was named to the FIT Thanksgiving All-Tournament Team twice as well as the JCA Sabre Classic both times during his career. He also earned a spot on the Champlain Chicken Wing Classic Team as a rookie. At the time of his graduation, he was the programs third all-time leading scorer with his 919 points, which is currently seventh. He added 518 rebounds which was tops during his playing days, but is now second best on the career list. He added 17 rebounds in one game against North Country which was fourth best on the single-game record list. He also ranks third with his six blocks in a game. He added 276 rebounds during the 1988-89 season which is fourth highest on the individual season records, while his 252 rebounds the previous season ranks sixth best. He also set the programs single-season mark with his 66 blocks in 1987-88.
Active in the community, he served as an assistant coach for the 2002-2004 seasons with the Albany Youth Basketball League helped the teams to a combined 32-5 record. He continues to remain active as a youth mentor in the community.

Replacement LED moonlight bulbs
I have 2 coralife Lunar aqualight strips that need all the led moonlights replaced.
I believe the bulbs are 3/4 - 1 watt bulbs.
Have no idea where to purchase them from. HELP...?
Try contacting the manufacturer.
Re: Replacement LED moonlight bulbs
You can either contact the manufacturer who should oblige and send you replacement bulbs, or try and locate a vendor who would sell the LEDs. I'd say you could attempt going to a PC shop and finding LED replacements, but in my experience most LED addons for computer towers consist of many wires/fixtures for integration into the tower themselves.
Whatever you decide to do, good luck. Moonlights rock! 8) 8)

text: With the second month of the year behind us, things seemed to be continuing to move in the right direction in terms of both the economy and the financial markets. Although most stocks did not provide as strong returns as in January, year-to-date performance through February stood at roughly 6% for the broader U.S. equity indices. On generally good employment news, the upwardly revised Q4 2012 GDP numbers, and strong exports out of China, investors continued to show confidence by pushing markets to new highs. Initial concerns over the enactment of sequestration on March 1 were pushed to the wayside as the Dow closed at an all-time high on Tuesday, March 5. General feelings of optimism paved the way for continued strength in fund flows; investors injected roughly $10.8 billion into mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for the week.

Pa.'s Catholic bishops: Democracy depends on people fighting for what they believe
Election Day, Nov. 6, offers "a critical opportunity for Catholics … to exercise our civic duty and fulfill our social responsibility in a way that becomes us as aspiring saints," the Catholic Bishops of Pennsylvania said in a statement Nov. 2.
"Because politics is the place where competing moral visions of a society meet and struggle," the statement continues, "our democracy depends on people of conviction fighting for what they believe in the public square, yet doing so with an abiding respect for one another."
The bishops express concern that many people "simply no longer believe in the idea of inalienable natural rights guaranteed by a Creator higher than the state — one of the cornerstone principles of the American experiment." This trend has serious implications because urgent political issues like the economy, immigration, abortion and global security have serious moral questions that "cannot be resolved without a common understanding of right and wrong."
The bishops cite efforts to redefine marriage, to exclude parental choice in education and to mandate the violation of religious liberty as striking examples.
The statement reminds Catholics that "the task of building a good society makes our Catholic civic engagement vitally important…. At election time, charity and truth are expressed through the votes we cast in favor of the inherent dignity of every human person and the common good of all.
"Ideas have consequences. Beliefs shape our culture … let us bring our faith to bear on how we vote this Election Day."

Williamston police say the man wanted for killing his father-in-law turned himself into authorities late Thursday night.
Travis Capeheart, 23, turned himself in at the Williamston Police Department around 11 p.m. Thursday, according to a press release. Capeheart was charged with murder and is being held without bond in the Bertie Martin Regional Jail.
Capeheart is scheduled to appear in Martin County District Court on October 24.
Dead is Miguel Pedro of Williamston. The shooting happened around 6:45 a.m. at a home at 819 West Main Street.
Wanted for Pedro's murder is Travis Capehart of Gumb Tree Trail. Police say the 23-year-old man was the victim's estranged son-in-law.

Manufacturing Climate Solutions
Manufacturing Climate Solutions presents new research on technologies that can protect the climate by reducing CO2 emissions. In this ongoing series, we ask, "What are the U.S. job opportunities in clean tech?" Technologies analyzed so far include:
Public Transit Buses: Chapter 12Buses represent 25,000 to 33,000 domestic jobs, many overlapping with the heavy truck industry. U.S. firms are leading the development of hybrid, all-electric and other "green" buses--the future of the industry.
View Report
Wind Power: Chapter 11U.S. employment in wind power is estimated at 85,000 jobs and growing quickly, with opportunities to employ workers and capacity from other industries like automotive and aerospace.
View Report
Residential Re-Insulation: Chapter 10With 46 million underinsulated homes in the United States, an expanding re-insulation market could save energy and create U.S. jobs for contractors, insulation installers, distributors, manufacturers, and material suppliers. This report is part of the Manufacturing Climate Solutions series.Posted: August 6, 2009.

Hybrid Drivetrains for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Trucks: Chapter 9The United States is well positioned to take the lead in hybrid commercial trucks, a new, fast- growing market that promises future U.S. jobs in truck manufacturing, advanced energy storage, electronics, and software. This report is part of the Manufacturing Climate Solutions series.
View Report
Carbon Capture and Storage: Chapter 8Chapter 8 of the Manufacturing Climate Solutions report focuses on carbon dioxide capture and storage technologies. These technologies will allow the U.S. to continue using fossil fuel for power generation while also achieving national goals to reduce CO2 emissions. These billion dollar projects also present huge U.S.-based employment opportunities in fields ranging from R&D to manufacturing and construction.
View Report
Recycling Industrial Waste Energy: Chapter 7Many industrial processes discard exhaust heat, combustible gases, and other "waste" energy. These highly recoverable resources can be harnessed to generate electricity, thus saving energy costs, reducing CO2 emissions, creating new jobs, and protecting existing jobs by increasing productivity and competitiveness.
View Report
Heat Pump Water Heaters: Chapter 6Current residential heat pump water heater products are add-on units used in conjunction with conventional storage tanks and they are produced by a handful of very small U.S. companies. The recent introduction of ENERGY STAR water heater criteria appears to be incentivizing some larger appliance manufacturers to develop new heat pump water heater products that will be more widely available. If consumer interest in heat pump water heaters increases, the market would need to scale up significantly to meet greater demands, opening greater opportunities for U.S. component manufacturing in the value chain.
View Report
Super Soil Systems: Chapter 5Super Soil is not yet commercially available, but it is an example of a technology that could potentially be widely adopted. The adoption of this or similar technologies would involve manufacturing jobs producing large tanks. Additional manufacturing jobs would be needed to make the equipment, along with the associated requirements for steel, glass, concrete, and other materials, and construction jobs to build the facility. This new technology for treating hog waste could allow the United States to become a global market leader in a sector where, until now, no adequate alternative has been available.

Concentrating Solar Power: Chapter 4Concentrating solar power (CSP) represents a clean, powerful, endless, and reliable source of energy with the capacity to entirely satisfy the present and future electricity needs in the U.S. The new market for concentrating solar power plants has potential to create numerous U.S. manufacturing and construction jobs as U.S. companies grow and foreign firms come to the United States.
View Report Chapter 4 View Full Report
Auxiliary Power Units for Trucks: Chapter 3Integration of auxiliary power units into long-haul truck manufacturing in the near future will likely increase penetration rates dramatically, with a corresponding boost to manufacturing. Expanded production of APUs would create economic opportunity at all stages of the value chain by increasing purchases from material and component suppliers. Additional value chain opportunities will likely come when APU technology is integrated as a component in tractor manufacturing rather than being an aftermarket product.
View Report Chapter 3 View Full Report
High-Performance Windows: Chapter 2High performance window technology is well developed, and widespread use of these more efficient windows is leading to demand for even better performance. The U.S. industry faces new, more stringent efficiency criteria that may spur manufacturers to retool production lines and further innovate. Over the course of criteria changes, jobs may have to develop more efficient products. The ability of companies to respond to criteria changes may determine which companies will benefit and which will struggle to compete.

LED Lighting: Chapter 1Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are a semiconductor technology whose application to general-purpose lighting is rapidly growing, with significant potential for energy savings. The market for general-purpose LED lighting is currently very small, but it is growing rapidly as the technology improves and costs go down. Leading U.S. manufacturers find it crucial to ensure high quality and to protect their innovations--two good reasons to keep the manufacturing close to home.
