For FDR, Letters Provided Glimpse Into America
Audio Extra
Author Robert McElvaine says President Franklin Roosevelt often read a random sampling of letters, telling his aide it was the perfect index to the public's state of mind.
"In the very beginning of his administration, there was no scientific opinion polling ... but he always felt that getting a letter from somebody who was actually out there suffering, experiencing the New Deal program, was the best way to understand whether they were working or not," McElvaine, author of Down and Out in the Great Depression: Letters from the Forgotten Man, tells NPR's Michele Norris.
He says at one point, 50 people at the White House were dealing with mail from the public because the amount of letters coming into the White House when Roosevelt came into office was vastly more than ever before.
The increase in mail "seems to have been a combination of the desperate situation so many people were in with the feeling that Roosevelt was actually listening to them," McElvaine says.

Made this to take to husbands family reunion, as Boomette advised added more sugar 1 1/2 cups total to cream cheese mixture. Excellent recipe something different to do with rhubarb other than just pie.
These bars are not too sweet. Someone who really like it sweet, I recommend adding a little bit sugar. After 40 minutes, it was done. Thanks Charlotte. Made for the Babes of ZWT4

Hello all,
I am new to this group and I am currently 29 weeks pregnant with my second child. I live in Portland, OR and am moving to Tulsa in February. I will be 33 weeks when we move. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with the midwifery at OU - Tulsa. I will need to transfer my prenatal care and will obviously be very close to delivery so I won't have a lot of time to meet with providers before I deliver. I used an obgyn with my first and am going the midwifery route this time. I am so happy with our midwifery in Portland so thought I would see if anyone out there has experiences with the one at OU-Tulsa. Thanks so much for any info!

text: Photo Gallery Space Photos This Week: Shuttle, Sun-Kissing Comet, More The space shuttle Discovery by moonlight, a kamikaze comet, and evidence of a Martian flood are among the week's best space pictures. PUBLISHED Thu Oct 28 14:02:00 EDT 2010 0 1 / 8 Island Aurora A brilliant green aurora seems to flow like a river in the skies over Tromsø, Norway (map), in a long-exposure picture taken between late Saturday and early Sunday.Aurorae are created as charged particles, which are constantly streaming from the sun, travel along Earth's magnetic field lines and collide with atoms in the planet's atmosphere. The light shows can be more intense—and can sometimes be seen farther from the Poles—during solar storms.(See pictures of unusual aurorae sparked by a solar storm in August.) Photograph by Thilo Bubek Milky Way Cluster Dust and gas envelop the Arches star cluster, the densest known gathering of young stars in the Milky Way, as seen in an artist's impression released this week in NASA's Image of the Day gallery.This view of the cluster is based on infrared data from the Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based observatories. Observing via infrared light allows these telescopes to peer through the haze that obscures our galaxy's hub and see objects in the deepest reaches of the Milky Way. Image courtesy NASA/ESA/STScI Moon Over Discovery The moon shines bright over the space shuttle Discovery as the craft is rolled onto Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on September 20. Discovery is slated to lift off November 1 for the International Space Station, a journey that—so far—marks the last scheduled flight for the aging shuttle. Photograph courtesy Tony Gray, NASA Starry "Globe" A moonless October midnight over the remote Atacama Desert in northern Chile allowed photographer Stéphane Guisard to capture this all-sky view free of light pollution.In addition to untold numbers of stars, the shot reveals the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, satellite galaxies of our Milky Way (at left), as well as the bright dot of Jupiter (at right)—all set against the soft glow of the zodiacal light, the reflection of sunlight off dust in the plane of the solar system. Photograph by Stéphane Guisard, TWAN Death of a Comet Aided by its occulting disk (center), to block out the sun's glare, NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, or SOHO, may hold the record for witnessing the most cometary suicides.The orbiting probe is uniquely outfitted to spot smaller, fainter comets close to the sun, including this likely member of the Kreutz sungrazer family, thought to be fragments from the breakup of a giant comet at least 2,000 years ago.Visible from October 19 to 21, this small comet apparently disintegrated as it neared our star. Image courtesy SOHO/NASA Magnetic Map Looping magnetic field lines (white) dance across the sun in a composite picture that overlays maps of magnetic activity on an extreme ultraviolet image of the star, taken October 20.The picture, made using data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, shows that the field lines are densest around magnetically active regions of the sun, but the lines also link out to less active areas across the star's surface. Image courtesy SDO/NASA Martian Flood Blocks of bright, layered rocks lie embedded in darker material in a picture of Mars's Holden Crater, taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and released October 21.The layers are thought to have been deposited by a giant flood that occurred when an ancient body of water breached the rim of Holden Crater. That means the rocks likely contain records of a wetter, warmer period early in Martian history, according to NASA.Scientists may soon have the chance to find out for sure, as the crater is one of the four candidate sites for the next big Mars mission, involving the Mars Science Laboratory rover. Image courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona Space Ball Like a disco ball in space, the tightly packed globular cluster NGC 1806 glitters for the cameras in a newly released picture from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.Globular clusters contain tens of thousands of stars that are gravitationally bound into distinct, spherical objects. By comparison, typical galaxies contain ten million to a hundred trillion stars.This particular cluster lies within the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way.

First Look
Harman Kardon Drive + Play 2The Harman Kardon Drive + Play 2 is a stylish and functional aid for playing digital music in the car. Its iPod compatibility and dynamic channel creation function really separate it from the pack, although you pay for what you get.
[ Music ] ^M00:00:01 >> Hi, I'm Kevin Massy from CNET Caltech and today we're taking a first look at the Harman Kardon Drive and Play 2. Now the original Drive and Play was an in car interface for playing your iPod tunes. The Drive and Play 2 does the same thing, but with a lot more style. Now, let's have a look at it. The system itself comprises three components. There is the screen module then there's the wireless control knob which can be mounted anywhere in your car and works essentially like an iPod will. Now, the brains of the units are this control hub, which plugs into your car's twelve volt cigarette port or can be hard wired into your cars power system. The hub connects the iPod. So how does it work? Okay, so we have and iPod, the system comes with a proprietary iPod USB. And after we plug the iPod in and walla the iPod shows up on the screens menu. You can see we've got the standard Apple inspired lists of selection methods. A very advanced feature on this is if you hold down the menu button you get an alphabetic search function so you don't have to troll through your thousands of songs to get down to those at the bottom of the pile. Wham is a favorite of mine and I often find myself struggling to get there, but this really helps me. As well as this iPod play back functionality this system can also be used to play digital audio tracks from generic USB thumb drives. Now this system is pretty pricy. It's in stores now for a price of around 400 dollars, which is the same price as some car stereos that can do many of the same things. I'm Kevin Massy and today we're taking a first look at the Harman Kardon Drive and Play 2. ^M00:02:01 [ Music ]

I made this just a few moments ago, it turned out great, very refreshing and delicious. I recommend this recipe to anyone under 21 or over who doesn't or can't drink alcohol.
Absolutely love it, I had it in a bistro in Manchester,and then looked up how to make it myself as the tin stuff is yukky and too sweet and too fizzy. Thankyou. Oh and I made my own sugar syrup.
This was quite refreshing, but I needed to add twice the amount of simple syrup for my kids' taste preference. It's a nice change in pace from lemonade though. For anyone wanting a refreshing beverage on a steaming hot day but prefers no alcohol, this really does fill the bill. I didn't miss the alcohol at all, though next time I think I will pay closer attention to the limes I use (I think mine were a little on the bitter side). Thanks, Julesong.
Wow! What a refreshing alternative to lemonade! Evaluating this alongside 5 other drinks to have at our company summer picnic "bar" (All non alcoholic) and I think this is a winner! I made simple syrup using equal parts Splenda and water (it dissolves in cold water) and it turned out great!
What a great idea!! I added three fresh raspberries to each of these to make a raspberry NOjito. I just love mojitos, but I don't have rum at my house so I thought this would be the perfect refreshing summer drink for us, and it was! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

Twitter announce brand pages!
So finally Twitter have announced that they are going to be doing something a bit different for brands… they have just announced the upcoming launch of "Brand Pages", following in the footsteps of Google+ who recently announced theirs.
In this video you can see a couple of clips of the new brand pages, and also see some of the other changes to the user experience.
Brands basically get a big header image, and the ability to promote a tweet to the top, acting sort of like a welcome message and enabling them to control the first thing their users see.
But the question on everyone's lips is "Will I need to set up a new profile, or does Twitter let us convert the current one?". There was a lot of disgruntled users having to start afresh when Facebook introduced pages and wanted businesses moving away from groups, for example.
Brand pages will be beta tested on a few big brands first so you can expect to start seeing them fairly soon.

:tongue: I am shocked. I wouldn't have thought it.
I don't think it's weird at all to know that Taco Bell isn't authentic Mexican food!
I'm not a fan of it, so can't comment much, but it's nice that you get a chance to have it if you like it Mari.
You would have loved being here around the Presidential inauguration time. Taco Bell had their soft tacos on for 20 CENTS each!

Pros: The service and food was good. The attendants were very considerant.
Cons: There was no enforcement of the boarding line. Those who formed a single line where instructed had to wait as 2/3 of the passengers made a mad dash to push their way to the front. Video screen, power outlet, and window shade did not work properly in my seat on this brand new Dreamliner. Very disappointing. Especially for a 14 hour flight. The bathroom was filthy and needed to be hosed down, and there was no soap or paper towels left by halfway through the trip.

Big Brother may be watching -- but in this case it's a good thing.
Simplot Grower Solutions, an agricultural retailer and wholesaler, has a fleet of some 300 trucks delivering fertilizer and pesticides to farmers throughout California's San Joaquin Valley. By using Verizon's Networkfleet GPS tracking solution, the company has improved routing, reduced idling time and cut fuel costs – all while making sure products get to customers on time.
"This system is the biggest tattletale in the world," says Tim Stone, unit supervisor for Simplot and a 20-year supply logistics veteran. "I can tell where a truck is within a couple of minutes of its destination, how fast it's going and if the driver is off course from where he's supposed to be."
Simplot picks up "a lot of product at the Port of Stockton for direct delivery to growers," he says. "A lot of trips are local. But we still cover a huge area, so it was difficult to locate vehicles and direct them to customers or trailers in remote locations. We also didn't know how the equipment was being used" in terms of non-business usage or idling time.
These are major economic factors in a business whose entire fleet is on the road at any given time. For example, in a recent 24-hour period, Stone notes that the fleet traveled 17,968 miles making 1,700 stops. This number, while seemingly high, is "a little shy" of normal, he says, since business is just starting its upswing for the peak growing season.
In the past, the company had a number of issues with its fleet and drivers.
"There were a lot of personal liability issues ... For example, if you have a wreck and a lot of fertilizer spills out, you can have major environmental concerns," Stone says. "People were speeding at 50 miles per hour down dirt roads and sliding into ditches, which are common in rural areas. Now, we can make sure they're doing reasonable speeds and making the delivery safely."
Tracking and reports
The Networkfleet system has been in place since 2006, when the company did an exhaustive analysis of tracking systems.
Installation "was simple," Stone says. "It took about 30 minutes per unit and it was up and running across our entire fleet in a matter of weeks. Since then, all our dispatchers and unit supervisors have not only been able to track the fleet at all times, but also get key daily reports."
Stone says these reports solved the problem of idling time. When picking up fertilizer, trucks were sometimes idling for 30 minutes while running air conditioning. But the local Air Pollution Control District requires that diesel-powered vehicles should not idle for more than five minutes at any location. "Just yesterday we recorded an idle time of .06 hours per unit. Fuel bills are also a lot lower," he says, adding that there's been a corresponding reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
The system has also enabled Simplot to put a "geofence" around locations where trucks pick up pesticides. By quickly pinpointing vehicles that go in and out of these areas, the company has consolidated pickups and reduced waiting times by pre-ordering pesticides for delivery.
"Right now, we're looking at maintenance, such as how many times trucks are going in for an oil change, who's using a truck the hardest and fuel mileage," Stone says. "You can have two identical trucks that rolled off the assembly line at the same time and the reports can tell us how one gets seven miles per gallon and the other six, even though both are doing the same speed."
The system also provides what Stone calls "odd-hour" reports. "Some of our guys take their vehicles home and could have a perfectly legitimate reason for being out at midnight. For instance, a grower might call and need help or the driver might have to check on something.
"However, we also have to find out why they were out driving when they shouldn't have been. It's another way we've saved fuel," says Stone, noting that overall fuel costs are down 8 to 9 percent.

"Bowling Green" Bowling Green by Dr._Aldakov
Bowling Green Travel Guide: 7 reviews and 18 photos
Welcome to BG!
Besides not too big University (in which I'm studying) there's nothing particularly interesting about it: typical Midwest, in-the-Middle-of-Nowhere. It has a nice downtown (to be decribed later) and... really beautiful trees and sky. Yes, that blue and clear bright sky I haven't seen anywhere. So once you're there, even if you just pass it by on the way from Detroit to, say, New Orleans, take some time to raise you head and enjoy a natural blue, literally sky-blue color of the "BG roof" which is like this at any season.

Her Dr says that she has no worries cause she has reached all other milestones hut I can't not be concerned. Can anyone relate?
My 8 1/2 mon old still isn't crawling
Her Dr says that she has no worries cause she has reached all other milestones hut I can't not be concerned. Can anyone relate?
The best thing is don't worry. I've been told with the SIDS "on their back" thing that it is 10 months to crawl is the milestone. Some crawl early as mine did (he is 8 also) but he didn't start sitting up until 7.5 months.
Just one day he started rolling up to sit up, and perfectly. It was weird! I was worried too and figures a few weeks after I "let it go" he does it just fine.
My mom watches babies for a living in home daycare and said some babies are great at some things and others at other things like they specialize but they all do everything eventually.
Try not to stress! :)
wow! That is amazing that your LO says 5 words!! Just revel in the fact that your LO is ahead verbally! My oldest didn't crawl til 10 months...but she talked up a storm early!
I wouldn't be. At this stage/age babies really start to develop much much differently. My LO can really only say one word, doesn't clap his hands or wave bye-bye, Your LO may never crawl. My one nephew would scouch (sp?) on his belly but never actually crawled. Another nephew skipped crawling all together and went straight to walking. My LO just rolls where ever he wants to go and has no interest in crawling. We think he is going to skip over crawling as well.
SAHM: ODS @ 30w (sudden onset severe pre-e), 50 edays in NICU, now 5!
DS @ 39w, now 3!
Angel YDS @25w, due to HELLP
My LO is just like yours. She's not crawling and just started rolling from back to front last week. She scoots on her back, and when she's on her tummy tries to reach for toys and it seems like she's swimming/or does army crawl. She can stand with help and she's trying to sit herself up right now from a lying down position.
Don't worry about it, your LO will figure it out soon enough:)
My lo doesn't say any words or crawl!!!! she scoots on her butt and loves if you hold her hands so she can stand. A few wks ago she would hardly put any weight on her legs. My son didn't crawl untill he was 10 months and walked a few days before his first birthday. I know she is going to crawl soon and I am just enjoying these last days of freedom for me. LOL
Bub doens't crawl, sits up well and already is starting to pull himself on furniture and will walk when you hold his hands. He crusies in his walker, basically runs. He says several words and repeats sounds. He is finally starting to get down his dexterity. He HATES to be on his belly, so there is any scooting, pulling or rolling over happening. Dr says he is doing just great.
My lo is 8 1/2 months too and "swims" when she is on her belly. She rolls around everywhere (we call it her "rawl") and scoots with her arms to face herself in the direction she wants to go. I'm not worried. She didn't roll over until about 5 months. She waves and says "bubu" for bye bye. She's been clapping for awhile now. She "sings" with people ("ahhhh") it's too cute!
I try putting her knees under her when she's on her belly, but she doesn't like it and sticks them back out to do her "swim" :)

#3 Due June 2015
I can totally relate! My LO can't crawl but like someone else said... she sort of swims across the floor. Someone told me recently that they did away with the crawling milestone because not all babies "crawl" some scoot and I guess maybe some swim. lol. My Lo can say a ton of words, it's like a new one every day but she can't sit up or stand up on her own. A couple friends told me their kids skipped crawling altogether, so I don't think we have anything to worry about : )

and Finn (11-10-10)�
Surro-mommy to M (2-21-09)
My LO just turned 9 months and within the past 2 weeks she went from rolling around the house to crawling, pulling herself up on furniture and walking along it while still holding on, she also got her 2 bottom teeth lol....whew busy couple of weeks! It all just happened so quickly!! And now she is into everything and much more independent.....crazy! So it will happen and when it does...WATCH OUT! lol

Attorneys and estate planners are helping North Carolina's first responders prepare wills and other vital documents they too often don't have ready if tragedy strikes.
Members of the North Carolina Bar Associations Young Lawyers Division are at a Raleigh hospital Saturday to prepare free wills, durable powers of attorney, and health care powers of attorney for police, firefighters, and EMTs.
They'll be in Statesville next Saturday. It's part of a nationwide effort called the Wills for Heroes Foundation that started after the Sept. 11 attacks on New York City and Washington.
Raleigh lawyer Jake Epstein says there have been five North Carolina events starting last summer where more than 1,200 first responders had vital documents prepared.

The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) board approved an agreement with New Mexico on Tuesday, the panel announced. The agreement comes on the heels of a similar agreement in June with the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications Authority (LA-RICS).
The agreements allow working groups in those jurisdictions to begin receiving federal grant funds for the development of the next-gen broadband networks. The projects were among seven to receive federal grants under the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) that were suspended after the passage of a 2012 federal law establishing FirstNet.
President Obama signed the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act in February 2012 that set up FirstNet within the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). The law directs FirstNet, a 15-member panel that includes an NYPD deputy chief and Iowa sheriff, to develop and operate a nationwide public safety broadband network based on a single, nationwide network architecture.
The LA-RICS working group must submit a plan to NTIA by Oct. 1 detailing operation of its network and how to prioritize access to the network depending on the nature of the incident.
In New Mexico, network planners must still spell out how they plan to use a remotely located network core, network use issues along the U.S.-Mexico border, and shared use of a state network with federal users.
Both networks would access the 700 MHz Band 14 once used by analog television stations.
Three other entities awarded BTOP grants before the establishment of FirstNet suffered setbacks Tuesday when the panel announced it was cutting off negotiations with Adams County, Colo.; Charlotte, N.C.; and the New Jersey Department of the Treasury.
The FirstNet board also voted Tuesday to extend negotiations to Sept. 30 with the Mississippi and Motorola Solutions on behalf of the Bay Area Regional Interoperable Communications Systems Authority (BayRICS).
"These projects have made substantial progress in reaching agreements with FirstNet, and FirstNet remains hopeful that agreements can be finalized with those projects by the deadline," according to a FirstNet press release.
Discussions with the state of Texas for a spectrum lease agreement began in April.

Speaking at the Morningstar Investment Conference in Chicago last week, some managers warned that high-yield bonds are still rich. The managers have been selling their expensive holdings and shifting to such unloved fare as European bonds.
In the worst days of the credit crisis, many high-yield bonds yielded more than 10%. Then as investors regained confidence, they began bidding up bond prices. When bond prices rise, yields fall. By early May this year, yields on high-yields bonds had reached record lows of less than 5%. Since then, yields have climbed back to 6%. "That is still a pretty low overall yield," said Tad Rivelle, portfolio manager of TCW Total Return Bond
Instead of high-yield bonds, Rivelle favors bank loans. Those are loans made to below-investment grade companies. While the loans only yield about 5%, they are more secure than high-yield bonds. Loans are considered senior to high-yield bonds. So in the event of a default, owners of loans are paid first, while investors in high-yield bonds must wait in line and hope to receive whatever assets are left.
Besides holding securities that are rated below-investment grade, TCW Total Return also owns stakes in mortgages and other high-quality instruments. Portfolio manager Tad Rivelle varies the mix. During the past five years, the fund returned 9.6% annually, compared to 5.5% for the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate.
In recent years, Rivelle has scored big gains with non-agency mortgages. Because they are not backed by the government, the non-agency mortgages must yield more than the common mortgages that are backed by Fannie Mae and other agencies. During the financial crisis, non-agency securities plummeted as investors worried about defaults. Since then, the securities have rebounded, but they still offer relatively rich yields of around 5.5%.
Rivelle said that the securities remain undervalued and should continue rallying.
"With the non-agency mortgages, you have the potential to get high single-digit returns and possibly double-digit returns," Rivelle said.
Another manager who has shied away from high-yield issues is Steve Smith, portfolio manager of Legg Mason BW Global Opportunities Bond
"We have been selling expensive corporate issues and buying Portuguese bonds that were yielding 9.5%," he said.
The shift to Portugal might seem like an unlikely move, but Smith has made a career of going against the crowd. His fund currently has 4% of assets in Malaysia and 3% in Hungary. The portfolio has only small holdings in developed countries such as Japan and Germany.
Curtis Mewbourne, portfolio manager of PIMCO Diversified Income
Mewbourne particularly likes Brazilian bonds. While the country has an inflation rate of 6.5%, the bonds yield 11%.
"Brazilian yields have increased substantially in the last six weeks, and the country has sound credit fundamentals," he said.

text: Hi Just for confirmation or/and suggestions: I think that there is a problem of device naming unicity and persistency (ie. after reboot) when we configure some FS as "to be failovered" ressources in CS4. In this case, which solution do you preconise : use of LABELs on devices ? or solution such as udev, etc. ? This problem occurs only if we have FS as "to be failovered" ressources. If not, I think that device naming unicity and persistency does not matter at all for CS4 ... Am I right ? Thanks Alain

Pistons bringing back Billups with 2-year contract with the 1st season of the deal guaranteed
DETROIT — The Detroit Pistons have decided to bring back Chauncey Billups.
Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars confirmed the move today.
Billups has agreed to a two-year deal — the first season is guaranteed — for $2.5 million a year.
Detroit dealt Billups to his hometown Denver Nuggets early in the 2008-09 season and the team has struggled since making the unpopular trade. Billups was the NBA Finals MVP in 2004 when he led Pistons past the Los Angeles Lakers.
The five-time All-Star turns 37 in September. He bounced back last season to play 22 games for the Los Angeles Clippers after tearing his left Achilles tendon during the 2011-12 season.

This American Life presented a live cinema event last Thursday that featured its standard true storytelling format, but with ample visual elements. In addition to anecdotes from David Sedaris, Tig Notaro and others, there were also dance performances, a hilarious short film from Mike Birbiglia and an interactive performance by OK GO. The theater in Newport where I watched the show was far too empty — I found the show more entertaining than any movie in theaters right now! Those who missed out have another chance to check out the program in theaters Tuesday. Sure, it will be a recording of the live show, but the charm and excitement of the live format will surely shine through. Without spoiling anything, the stories they were able to assemble were killer: laugh-out-loud, misty-eyed, thought-provoking TAL goodness.
Be sure to download this free app before you go — the TAL crew pulled some strings to allow audiences to use their phones at one point in the performance. Go here to find nearby theaters screening the show tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. Can I gush any more? No. It's worth the $20 ticket. Please go.
Ricky, Julian and Bubbles bring the trailer park to town for
a night tomorrow! For those unfamiliar, Trailer Park Boys is a Canadian

If last year's live show was any indication, Tuesday's "Community Service Variety
Show" is sure to bring the LOLs. Buy tickets here.

Guests will get to be a part of Cincy's first projected fashion show, filmed in advanced, featuring local designers and fashionistas.

More and more restaurants and food trucks are offering late-night yums to meet the demands of the area college students, bar crowds and general night owls. Usually "fourth meal" conjures up the thought of tacos or pizza, but what about donuts? Busken has set up a pop-up donut shop at 1218 Vine St. (between A Tavola and Sloane Boutique), open 7 p.m.-midnight Thursdays and 7 p.m.-1 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays through March 16. Here, guests can swing by after dinner or drinks for a free Lite-Hearted donut, Busken's new heart-shaped glazed treat. After tasting one of these bad boys, you'll be shocked to find they're only 140 calories a pop. You won't have to feel too bad about indulging in a mindnight snack, but you may be left wondering whose soul Busken had to sell to get these delicious donuts to clock in at 2.5 grams of fat.
Bockfest might not officially begin until next weekend, but events leading up to the big parade and festival are already in full effect. Friday is the annual Precipitation Retaliation Happy Hour at Milton's Tavern. Why the retaliation? In 2008, a huge snowstorm nearly shut down Bockfest, so the next year a paper snowman was set ablaze as a sacrifice to the precipitation gods. The burning snowman tradition stuck, and it continues tonight at 8 p.m. Grab a drink and watch the sucker burn!

The Northern suburbs of Cincinnati sometimes get left out of the city's biggest celebrations, so they made one their own! The Taste of Northern Cincinnati, also in the Sharonville CC, features food from some of the top eateries in the 'burbs. From noon-4 p.m. Sunday, attendees will enjoy grub from LaRosa's, Red Squirrel, Velvet Smoke BBQ, Blue Goose and more.

In addition to some fierce fashions, there will be DJs, showcased artwork, signature cocktails by Molly Wellman, a photo booth and dance party. Oh, and it's free. Yeah, I'll see you there.
This just scratches the surface. Between Northside Pridefest, Second Sunday on Main and the WEBN Album Project Reunion, this is proof that "There's nothing to do in Cincinnati!" is a fallacy. For all this week's concerts, theater shows, events, and gallery exhibits, peep all of our To Do picks.

If you are a Worklight developer, you'd probably know that IBM Worklight 5.0.5 was released recently. Otherwise, you can read about it here.
So, the next obvious question is - what is new in Worklight 5.0.5 ? You can read about it here
While you had a look at what's new in Worklight 5.0.5, one of the things you'll have noticed that support for Java ME as a platform has been added. Although the number of smartphones have multiplied exponentially in the last few years, there is a large user base especially in emerging economies with phones capable of running Java ME. Nokia identifies this market as the next billion targetting the next billion new mobile phone owners. It is to cater to this market that Worklight 5.0.5 adds support to Java ME as a platform.
Read on to see how you can develop Java ME applications that can exploit the power of Worklight.
- An eclipse environment with the Mobile Tools for Java plugin inst
- And last, but not the least, Worklight Studio installed on the eclipse environment.
1. Create a new Worklight project
2. Worklight 5.0.5 offers the ability to write native applications that can make use of Worklight API calls. So, create a Native API app in the Worklight project that Java ME apps can connect to.
Choose Worklight Native API from the list
Then give a name to your app and choose Java ME as the environment.
3. Deploy the Worklight Native API app that you just created to the Worklight server
Visit the Worklight console and verify that the app has been successfully deployed.
4. Create a Java ME Midlet project and add a Java ME Midlet to it.
5. Add the necessary libraries to the Midlet project.
6. Copy the wlclient.properties file found in the Java ME Native app into the res folder of the Midlet project you just created. Following is a screenshot of how your app Midlet project structure should look after you've added the references.
Oh, and edit it to suit your requirements. Once you take a look at it, you'll find it pretty self-explanatory.
7. Thats it - you are good to go. You can now create a Worklight adapter and deploy it to the Worklight server and invoke procedures on this adapter from your Java ME application. Please see the following section for a sneak peek into the Java ME Worklight APIs
As of Worklight 5.0.5, you will be able to connect to a Worklight app and invoke a procedure defined in an adapter.
There are two steps to invoke an adapter procedure.
a. Create a WLClient object and connect to the Worklight server app.
b. Call the adapter procedure after a successful conn
