Senator Barack Obama has struck a resonant note with America's independent voters, and especially with our youngest voters; those between 18 and 25.
His appeal is not dissimilar to that of Robert F. Kennedy, who, like Obama, was running for election at a time when America was embroiled in a war that was opposed by the overwhelming majority of young people, and indeed by many of their parents.
The 42 year-old junior senator from New York provided vigor and vitality in a national political environment that was otherwise dominated by partisan disdain and distrust.
He spoke of building a bridge across otherwise disparate economic and racial groups by appealing to our "better angels" and providing a positive vision of an America where everyone could achieve the greatness and success of their individual potential.
His campaign stops, so many of which were on college campuses, attracted thousands of young people who were fervent in their support of forging a new coalition and forcing a new political conscience and consciousness in America.
Kennedy's campaign was intoxicating while the tone of the campaign of Senator Eugene McCarthy, his chief rival in opposition to the leadership of President Lyndon Johnson and Vice President Hubert Humphrey, was one of detailed policies and moral superiority.
As Tom Brokaw wrote in Boom! Voices of the Sixties, "Robert Kennedy was a tightly bound bundle of energy and passion with his heart on his sleeve. McCarthy was cool and cerebral; it was hard to tell where his heart was..."
That description sounds a lot like the contest between Senator Obama and Senator Clinton.
Obama is attracting the masses, just as numerous, young, enthusiastic and energetic as those who flocked to Senator Kennedy.
He's running against an opponent whose theme is all about experience (though her seven years in the US Senate and tenure as the First Lady pales in comparison to the 19 years in the House and Senate that McCarthy had under his belt during the 1968 contest). Senator Clinton's speeches are replete with wonkish policy minutiae and, notwithstanding the 30 seconds of emotion she displayed in New Hampshire last week, her emotional quotient is equivalent to that of a meat freezer.
But, Obama has a problem, a problem that is not insurmountable, but a significant one.
He is appealing to the least likely voters in America.
An analysis of the 2004 presidential election by the Census Bureau found that in an election where 64 percent of the voting age population voted, only 47 percent of voters between the ages of 18 and 24 cast ballots. The analysis also found that women were more likely to vote than men and that better than 70 percent of voters over the age of 45 turned out to vote.
The downward trend in youthful voter participation has been steady and dramatic. In 1972, about 50 percent of 18-to-24 year olds voted. By the election of 2000, voting participation by young voters was halved, with only 25 percent bothering to put their cell phones on hold and their hormones in check to go out and vote.
This analysis has some potentially good news for Senator Obama and his supporters. There was a substantial increase in participation by young voters in 2004. But, that uptick in voting bucked a 32-year trend.
Obama's challenge is two-fold. Primarily, he has to get our youngest voters to understand the critical importance of voting. Somehow he needs to get them to abandon their youthful cynicism and understand that the world can change if they take the time to vote. He needs to turn what may have been a aberration in young voter participation into a trend.
Simply put, he's captured their hearts and minds, now he needs to motivate them.
Secondly, he needs to appeal to the dormant idealism that resides somewhere in the memories of the baby boomers and who are now the most likely Americans to walk into a polling place and cast a ballot.
I'm not sure if Senator Obama would make a good President or not, but he is certainly making this year's presidential contest interesting to watch. It will be even more fascinating to see if he can motivate his youngest supporters and attract the allegiance of the aging baby boomers.

They say you fall in love when you least expect it.
Though I can't put my finger on the exact moment I realized that it was L-O-V-E, I think it started with my hair.
I asked Dave to shave my head. In the kitchen. Of our house. With the clippers I can only assume he uses to shave his ball hair. That's just speculation, by the way. I don't usually like, hang out, when he's trimming his taint.
Anyway, I wanted him to shave just the underneath part. Like Miley Cyrus. And Rihanna. I mean, they're both known for making solid decisions, right? And, how hard could it be? Anything short of def-con Skrillex would be totally fine.
I don't want to say Dave was "unthrilled" about it, but he was all, "Noooo…..I'm not shaving your head."
And I was all, "Sack up and shave your wife's head."
And he was all, "Are you having a nervous breakdown?"
And I was all, "Ugh. Here are the clippers. Just do it."
And he did.
And I loved it.
After shaving my head, I decided I could totally do bangs. I mean, I watched a DIY bang cutting tutorial on YouTube. How hard could it be? Plus, both my mom and my husband told me not to do it. Which meant there was no way I was not doing it. Taking a risk AND defying authority (such as it is)? Crazy empowering.
Then, there was a birthday that brought me closer to 40 than 30 and the obligatory "shit, I'm not getting any younger even though I have finally mastered the smoky eye," realization.
There were more hair related things. And more selfies of hair related things where I realized that I sort of really liked the way I looked.
There were changes in eating habits and exercise (driven mostly by terror of Terri Walsh…she's bossy, yo…And she's like the online personal trainer version of the Eye of Sauron) that made me feel better physically.
The confidence (I mean, right? Nice gams…) that came with physical changes also brought some slow and subtle shifts in perspective.
I started voicing my opinion more instead of worrying about what people might think. When opportunities came my way instead of saying "no" out of fear of criticism or failure, I started saying "yes" because, fuck it, why not? (Is this an appropriate place to use YOLO? Because I feel like this warrants a YOLO). I started asking for the things I wanted. Not just asking, but asking repeatedly because, what's the worst that could happen? Someone tells me no? Someone thinks I'm annoying or pushy or intimidating or, gasp, kind of a bitch? So what? Bitches get stuff done.
All of these changes, these little shifts, ultimately led to an unexpected and unprecedented love affair.
With myself.
Not in a Divinyls way.
Okay. Maybe a little bit in a Divinyls way. But that's not the point here.
After so many years of worrying about other people's opinions and trying not to rock the boat and being afraid of criticism it feels really fucking good to let all that shit go and just love myself for the woman that I am. The "annoying, pushy, selfie-posting, risk taking, opportunity chasing, bang cutting, opinion voicing, bitches get stuff done," woman that I am.
So, if you're hanging out with me, in person, online, wherever, and you think you hear something…don't worry. I am a woman in love with myself and that is just the sound of my motherfucking ROAR.

After yesterday's final cuts, the 23-man roster took to the ice to begin prepping for Thursday's season opener in Phoenix.
I should say everyone took the ice but Rick Nash, who apparently hurt his foot blocking a shot in the Kings game Friday night. Andrew Gross at the Bergen Record noted that the Rangers said the injury is not believed to be serious.
Alain Vigneault expects Nash to be back on the ice for the next practice on Tuesday.
…wait, I thought injuries from blocking shots was supposed to end when Torts wasn't the coach anymore.
…after a poor preseason, let's hope this injury isn't a setback of any kind.
Meanwhile, here were the lines from practice…
Staal-Del Zotto
When Nash returns on Tuesday, Vigneault said he'll be skating on Stepan's line with Richards.
…man, you got to wonder what's going through Richards' head at this point. A year and a half ago the guy was on top of the world after a great playoff run in which he played a major part in. Now the guy can't even make it on the team at his natural position. Just have to hope this move jump starts him.
…also, that third lines is awful. Flipping Miller and Pyatt would have me a little more confident about the line-up.
Here's Richards on the move to wing (via Bergen Record)…
"We've still got two guys out and we've got three centers that want to play in offensive situations," Richards added. "I haven't even talked to (Vigneault) about it. Playing with Rick and Step, hopefully we can get something going and if it works it means we're staying and if we're staying it means its working. When I have played wing it's because I'm playing with smart players and fun players to play with and those two are. So really it's line it up for the faceoff and then as the game goes on you're a 100 different places anyway. I'll probably take some faceoffs on my strong side because Step is a righty I don't anticipate it being a big deal. We'll see how it goes. We've all done it during our career, played different positions. It's not that complicated. Hopefully it just works and it's the last time we talk about it."
Scott Burnside at ESPN says Richards and Nash have something to prove this season.
Despite being cleared for contact, Vigneault says he wants to wait seven to 14 days before Callahan plays in a game. Which obviously will rule the Rangers captain out of the season opener, which Cally confirmed yesterday…
"Today was probably the most I've done so we'll see how it reacts to that. As of right now, I'd rule myself out for the first one. It's just to see how I feel day to day. I'd love to give you guys an exact date but I can't. I have an idea in my head but we'll see how it goes day to day with the contact. As of right now, I'd rule myself out for the first one."
…just looking at the lines, I have no idea where Callahan fits in (third line for Pyatt?). But where ever he ends up, his tenacity and aggressiveness will be very much welcomed.
Meanwhile, Pat Leonard at the Daily News says Carl Hagelin (offseason shoulder surgery) will go on the long-term injury list to start the season, which makes him ineligible until an Oct. 29 visit to Long Island.
Finally, here's Stepan on his first practice with the team since signing…

If you can talk about what the differences in services provided by the city between the Black and--and programing--
The difference in the service between the Black community and the White community is very obvious. Ah, the, the things that the Black community--just basic services, the White community take for-granted. Ah, the same services that we have to develop programs around. Just basic things like moving the garbage:, ah,you pick up garbage, once a week. Ah, we have to develop a program around garbage not being picked up. We got to pick-it we got to develop a committee to call the city and says, you know the garbage is not picked up in three weeks. We just talking about basic services, you talk about the streets being cleaned, streets being swept, you know. Boulevards being swept in Black communities. It'll go for six months that boulevards are not swept. In the White community that's for-granted, that you do that. The things are just basic services, that causes you to move as a citizen in your community. Has, you know, the police protection, serves and protects a White community, in the Black community harasses a Black community. Ah, just basic things that that that other communities take for-grated are the things that we have to develop a program around: that's not right.

Baby Photos From The Internets: Hilarious, Cute or Too Much?Selena Mills
Today, this murderous Monday, I needed a good chuckle.
Cute. Adorable. Ridiculous. Hilarious. Some might even say over-the-top.
I won't say which ones I think are absurd and foolish, I'll let you be the judge of that – lest the internets get me.
Let me just say that in any case – wherein you may find an image to be foolish, it's the product really, right? Not the baby.
All of these babies are sweet, innocent and adorable. Except for pretend vampire ones. Pictures of which I found many – but did not go there. If you're down for a quick break in your Monday for some good old-fashioned fluff, click on.

In Reply.—We agree with Dr Dalens, and we reemphasize the importance of processing CSF samples quickly for several reasons. First, neutrophils degenerate rapidly, and they can alter the total and differential cell counts. Second, the delay in processing may result in degenerative, as well as artifactual, changes in monocytes. Third, the bacteria can be identified before disintegration.
The definition of macrophages in CSF is not universal. A review of the literature shows that various investigators1-5 have used different terms for the cells of the mononuclear phagocytic system. In our article, we followed the nomenclature in which a nonactivated monocyte in CSF was identified morphologically as a monocyte, whereas the activated monocyte and macrophage were considered identical, because we believe that except for minor variations they are similar cell types.6,7

The Star-Ledger's Brian Costa came up with 10 reasons why the Mets are in first place.
NJ.com member OhioMetFan wanted to add to the list:
NJ.com member OhioMetFan wanted to add to the list:
"I think you have to give some credit to that Met everyone seems to love to hate, Luis Castillo. He's been steady and solid. He's had some very key hits and has even made some nice plays in the field even though his range is limited.Why do you think the Mets made it to first in the NL East? Respond in the comments.
It should also be noted that the new 3rd base coach is a HUGE upgrade over last year and has saved the mets several outs in the last week."

Seth MacFarlane Jokes About Daniel Day-Lewis in First Academy Awards Promo
Presenting the host of the 85th Annual Academy Awards, Seth MacFarlane! Or is it?
Just after announcing the 2013 Oscar nominees with Emma Stone Thursday morning, PEOPLE.com has an exclusive first look at MacFarlane's first promo for the big telecast, which airs Feb. 24 on ABC.
The Family Guy creator, 39, looks dapper in a black tux, while joking that he's really the star of Best Picture nominee Lincoln.
"Guess what? I'm not Seth MacFarlane," he says, "I'm Daniel Day-Lewis. I'm just that good."
At the time his duties were announced in October, MacFarlane called it "truly an overwhelming privilege" to be asked to host.
"My thoughts upon hearing the news were, one, I will do my utmost to live up to the high standards set forth by my predecessors," he added. "And, two, I hope they don't find out I hosted the Charlie Sheen roast."
The 85th annual Academy Awards will air live on Sunday, Feb. 24, 2013, on ABC from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

Stolichnaya has released what is thought to be a world's first in terms of a vodka flavour, with the launch of its Stoli Salted Karamel vodka.
Inspired by various chocolate-flavoured sweets that marry sweet and savoury, Stoli Salted Karamel once again offers mixologists an unusual flavour that lends itself to many possibilities.
Said to taste of "sweet caramelized sugar and soft English toffee, balanced with a light saltiness," Stoli Salted Karamel has an aroma of "rich caramel candy and perfectly toasted sugar" and will be available in 50ml, 375ml and 750ml bottles this July.
To help inspire cocktail makers, Stolichnaya has come up with three of its own cocktail recipes that use Stoli Salted Karamel vodka as a primary ingredient – Salted Banana cocktail, Salted Karamel Macchiato Martini cocktail and the Salted Tootsie Roll cocktail.
Speaking about Stolichnaya's new salted caramel flavoured vodka, Val Mendeleev, CEO of SPI Group, said: "Stoli Salted Karamel is a perfect addition to the brand's existing premium vodka flavour portfolio and we are excited to be the first brand to introduce this new flavor combination to the vodka category.
"Stoli is a pioneering brand that is constantly evolving and creating new trends within the industry; we pride ourselves with providing original offerings to our fans"
"Next to chocolate, market research has shown that caramel is the most popular indulgent flavour offering and that savory flavour combinations are currently one of the fastest growing trends," added Lisa Pfenning, Category Director at Stolichnaya, William Grant & Sons. "The exciting launch of Stoli Salted Karamel will be supported via targeted media buys in key markets and the flavour will be brought to life via unique sampling events at key on-and-off premise accounts featuring a variety of signature cocktails and shots."
To find out more about Stolichnaya's Salted Karamel vodka, visit the Stolichnaya Facebook page. Don't forget to like us whilst you're there – www.facebook.com/drinksbrands.
In the meantime, to whet your appetite for the new Stoli Salted Karamel vodka, here are those Stolichnaya cocktail recipes we promised:

Blandford Elementary School hosted a new event this year for Veterans Day - a parade of veterans who are family members of BES students.
Effingham County improved its high school graduation rate for the second straight year, while also topping the state average by nearly 11 percentage points.
In his time as state schools superintendent, John Barge has heard plenty of criticism of the Common Core standards.
Effingham County students competed in the 4-H Challenge Bowl at the Georgia National Fair in Perry and brought home a top-six finish in the state.
The South Effingham Middle School competition cheer team won first place in the large division and grand champion at Battle in the Boro. They competed at Southeast Bulloch High School on Oct. 25 and won by 54 points. Bella Kay Tatum from SEMS won first place in the jump off.
Cadets with the Effingham Cadet Squadron of Civil Air Patrol were "all in" to their most recent community service project, to help sort more than 10,000 pounds of canned food in preparation for the annual Thanksgiving meal provided by Manna House Ministries.
In honor of Veterans Day, Armstrong State University and Mountainfilm on Tour-Savannah will host a special screening of the documentary "Mending the Line" on Monday at 7 p.m. the Ogeechee Theatre in the Student Union, 11935 Abercorn St.

Actor Idris Elba, 39, grew up in London and now lives in the US. He played Stringer Bell in The Wire, the title role in Luther and was recently listed as one of People magazine's Most Beautiful People in the World. He has a daughter, Isan, 9, with his ex-wife, Dormowa Sherman.
The life I live is a very privileged one. But that's not to say it just happened; it was created.
In the US, if you carve yourself a space, you carve yourself a space. In England, eventually someone else will come along and elbow their way into it.

The Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a final rule amending the test procedure for packaged terminal air conditioners (PTACs) and packaged terminal heat pumps (PTHPs) as required by 42 U.S.C. 6314 (a)(7). These test procedures are currently described in 10 CFR 431.134 in Subpart H.
Recent Updates | Public Meeting Information | Submitting Public Comments | Milestones and Documents | Related Rulemakings | Statutory Authority | Contact Information
DOE has published a final rule regarding test procedures for packaged terminal air conditioners and packaged terminal heat pumps 80 FR 37136 (June 30, 2015).
DOE published a notice of proposed rulemaking regarding test procedures for packaged terminal air conditioners and packaged terminal heat pumps. 79 FR 14186 (March 13, 2014).
There are no public meetings scheduled at this time.
The public comment period is closed.
The packaged terminal air conditioners test procedure rulemaking docket EERE-2012-BT-TP-0032 contains all notices, public comments, public meeting transcripts, and supporting documents. For the latest information on the planned timing of future DOE regulatory milestones, see the current Office of Management and Budget Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions. All planned dates are preliminary and subject to change.
DOE is also conducting an energy conservation standards rulemaking for PTACs and PTHPs.

Yes, we have no tomatoes.
At least not very many.
And those that do, paid dearly for them, especially Amarillo restaurants.
Since summer the price of tomatoes has shot up, supply has shriveled and businesses are either biting the price bullet or skipping tomatoes all together.
Harold Callaway, director of produce at Affiliated Foods, called the price of tomatoes "absurdly high."
"There are two or three factors involved," he said.
Hurricanes wiped out Florida production, Callaway said.
And across the country, the storyline is familiar.
"Because of the rain and bad weather in California, California production finished early. And rain delayed the Mexico crop that would be starting," Callaway said.
That means limited supply that drives the market up, he said.
Sometimes tomatoes are not available at all, Callaway said.
Prices rose from 2 pounds for $1 in the summer to $3.99 per pound, he said.
"We're pretty much meeting all of our orders. Supplies are tight, but the weather's good in Mexico so there's relief in sight," Callaway said.
Joe Holliman, manager of Fiesta Foods, is optimistic about a price drop later this month, but in the meantime prices are tough.
People are still buying tomatoes, he said.
"We're not making as much on tomato sales. You can't just put a tomato out there for $2 a pound," he said.
Three Roma tomatoes weighing about eight ounces cost $1, he said.
"They tell me the middle of December they'll come back down," he said.
Josh Fuller at OHMS groaned when asked about tomatoes.
"They are ridiculous. We buy 'em. We eat the price. There's nothing we can do," he said. "They have almost tripled in price. I pay $55 for 25 pounds of Roma tomatoes."
Fuller first noticed the price going up more than a month ago, he said.
"They went up a little initially, and a week later they were $55. And, the tomatoes have gotten uglier each week for the same price," he said.
But the restaurant will persevere with tomatoes.
"They are too important to us," Fuller said.
Subway at 3333 S. Coulter St., has elected to skip tomatoes sometimes.
"We haven't been able to do tomatoes because they are so expensive because of what happened in Florida with the hurricanes," said Linzi Winningham, crew leader.
"There are so few, the person who sells them to us, they sell them at a really high price.
''We can't buy as many as we used to, when they are gone, they are gone."
Customers ask for them, however.
"They're usually, 'Why can't you go buy them at Albertson's?' And, we're like, 'They're too expensive,'" Winningham said.
Tascosa Hot Sauce, another Amarillo business, uses tomatoes in its product line and might be affected by the prices.

text: I have a 2010 Toyota Prius that I started driving in March 2010. I have kept a diary of all of the gas purchase with average mpg and gas costs. In the begining I was getting 53-65 MPG. when I was about to hit 10,000 miles it dropped to 43 and now I am getting 36MPG. I know the weather has changed, but the biggest change to my driving is that I drive shorter distances more often. In Vermont I was driving 26 miles straight. Now I drive maybe 5-10 mile trip. When I got the vehicle I was told I could use regular oil. The local toyota dealer told me to use synthetic and my mileage would improve. I called toyota b/c I think they owed me an oil change. I changed my oil every 5000 miles but was told synthetic would be opitimal. I will answer any and all question. I just want to know why I am getting such bad mileage in the city and get better mileage on the high way..

Overview of BIRT
Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) comprise an Eclipse™-based, open source reporting system that allows publishing in user-defined formats and layouts. The first section of this article describes the BIRT Report Designer component that is integrated into IBM® Rational® Method Composer, Version 7.2. BIRT also offers a charting engine that you can use to add charts to your own application. More information is available in the BIRT section of the Eclipse Web site.
These are among the BIRT capabilities provided in Rational Method Composer:
- Publishing to documents in alternative output formats, including Microsoft® Word®, Adobe® PDF®, Microsoft® PowerPoint®, and HTML.
- Creating reports that extract and format information from a Rational Method Composer method library.
- Selecting from 33 easy-to-use, predefined report templates for Rational Method Composer (included with Rational Method Composer v7.2).
How to run an existing BIRT report
Step 1. Open the Report Design perspective
- Starting in the Rational Method Composer workbench, click the Open Perspective icon on the top-right corner, and then select Other.
- In the Open Perspective dialog, select Report Design (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. Open Perspective dialog
Step 2. (Optional) Import existing reports from the Rational Method Composer install directory
- To import these templates into Rational Method Composer, select File > Import > Existing projects into Workspace.
- Click Browse, and navigate to the Rational Method Composer installation location containing the report templates (typically, this is
C:\Program Files\IBM\RMC72\rmc\report_templates). You can now see them in the Navigator view's tab in the the Report perspective.
Step 3. (Optional) Select the method configuration that is the data source
The default context is the entire Rational Method Composer method library. If you want to generate a report on a subset of the method library (as specified by a method configuration), you can do this by selecting the appropriate method configuration in the Authoring perspective, and then returning to the Report Design perspective.
Step 4. Run the report
- Double-click on the report that you want to run to open the report in the editor.
- Click File > View Report.
- Next, select the format in which you want to view the report. For example, double-click SingleTask.rptdesign under the Navigator tab to open the editor.
- Click File > View Report > View Report as XLS.
- When the Parameter dialog box appears, under Select a task, select any task in the drop-down menu, and then check or uncheck other options according to your needs.
- Click OK (see Figure 2).
- When you see the prompt showing in Figure 3 that asks whether you want to save or open the file (in Excel format), click Save and enter the location where you want to save the file.
- Open that Excel file to see the results.
Figure 2. Parameter dialog
Figure 3. Dialog to save or open in Excel format
Known issues
If you use the Open library from workspace feature in Rational Method Composer, reports will not always work correctly. The results are correct when you run the report the first time. Subsequent running of the report will result in missing data. This is due to a caching problem in Rational Method Composer and will be fixed in a future release.
The workaround is to export all of the plug-ins and then import them into another library that is not opened with the Open library from workspace feature.
Where to learn more
"Creating Rational Method Composer BIRT reports: An intermediate example" walks you through a scenario for building a report that displays the work products and primary tasks for each role. For more advanced examples, you can review the reports available in the Rational Method Composer install directory (import instructions provided previously).
In addition, a Help section is available within the Rational Method Composer tool:
- Select Help > Help Contents.
- In the Help explorer, click BIRT Report Developer Guide.
That guide explains, step-by-step, how to create general BIRT reports (not specific to Rational Method Composer libraries).
Creating Rational Method Composer BIRT reports: A basic example
This section walks you through how to create a basic BIRT report that extracts information from Rational Method Composer v7.2. This report example will display a list of plug-ins available in a method library and, for each plug-in, will display its author and change date.
Step 1. Create a report
- Starting in the Rational Method Composer workbench, open the Report Design perspective by clicking the Open Perspective icon in the top-right corner, and then select Other.
- In the Open Perspective dialog, select Report Design (see Figure 4).
Figure 4. The Open Perspective dialog
- From within the Report Design perspective, at the bottom-left corner there is a tab for Navigator, where you can see the directory structure of the library. Right-click where you want to put the report, and select New > Report from the drop-down menu (Figure 5).
Figure 5. Create a new report
- Type a name for the report, and click Next.
- Select Blank report, and click Finish.
Figure 6. Name the new report and open a blank template
The new blank report opens in the Report Designer on the right side. On the left side, you can see Data Explorer tab where you will create data sources. In Rational Method Composer, a data source is a reference to a method library and a method configuration.
Figure 7. Data Explorer view
Data sets are like queries against a database. Here, you will select the method elements that you want included in the report. Report parameters are used for conditional statements and expressions, such as which plug-in in the library that you want to select.
Step 2. Identify the library and configuration to be the data source
- Right click on Data Source, and select New Data Source.
- Select Method Library Data Source. (There is an option to enter a name, but in this example, just use the default name, Data Source).
- Click Next. (See Figure 8.)
Figure 8. Data Source selection
- Specify the location of library and the configuration, and then click Finish.
- (Optional) If you want to work with the library that is currently open in Rational Method Composer, you can also click the check boxes to select the Currently open library and Currently selected configuration.
Figure 9. Specify the location and configuration of the library
Step 3. Create a data set for plug-ins
This is basically a query to retrieve data from the data source (the library and configuration), which is then used to populate the report.
- Right-click Data Set, and then select New Data Set (see Figure 10).
Figure 10. Retrieve data to create a data set
- Type
Pluginsin the Data Set Name field, and then click Next (Figure 11).
Figure 11. Specify the name of the data set
- In the Element type drop-down menu (Figure 12), select Method Plug-in.
- Then, from the Selected fields options, check Name, Authors, and Version for these meanings:
- Name: Name of the plug-in
- Authors: Names of the plug-in authors.
- Version: Version of the plug-in (change date)
Figure 12. Provide the element type name and select fields
- Click Finish, and the Edit Data Set â Plugins dialog will appear.
- On the left side of this dialog, click Preview Results, and you will see something like what Figure 13 shows.
Figure 13. Preview of results
- Click OK when you are finished.
Step 4. Create a table in the report editor
- Drag the Plugins data set into the report editor (Figure 14).
Figure 14. Report editor
- To edit the heading, font style, color, and so forth, right-click on a column heading, and select Edit. You can see the options in General tab, as shown in Figure 15.
Figure 15. Editing options
- To edit the name, right-click and select Edit (Figure 16).
Figure 16. How to edit the name
- To edit the table borders, hover the cursor over the table in the report editor. This will display the Table icon. When you click on the Table icon, it will display columns and rows in the table (see Figures 17 and 18).
Figure 17. How to edit table borders
Figure 18.
- In the bottom left pane of the Report Editor workspace, click the Outline views tab to expand Body and then Table until you see Header and Detail.
- Under Header and Detail, you will see the Row option (Figure 19). Expand Row, and click the first Cell underneath.
- From the menu to the right of the directory tree, click the Properties tab and then Border, under that, to select the border style and color.
Figure 19. How to edit table cell borders and colors
- When you have finished editing the cells in the table, you can preview the report by clicking the Preview tab in the report editor.
The result in Preview will look like Table 1.

Three schools in Lancaster were temporarily placed on lockdown on Thursday afternoon.
McCaskey High School, McCaskey East and Lincoln Middle School were all locked down after someone spotted a person with a knife. That person was off campus, but near the schools.
There was also initial confusion because witnesses reported to police that the person had a gun. Officers found that the person had a knife -- no firearm was recovered.
The individual with the knife was taken into custody, questioned and then released.
Another person at the scene was arrested. That person had an outstanding warrant for his arrest.
The lockdowns have been lifted.

Shore casters have an extra boost in access this year. Before this summer-like weather arrived this past week, a gradual warming in early spring kept shoreline shallows cooler than usual.
Weed growth has not emerged heavily so far this season; last year's early panfish and walleye/pike openers were met with heavier weed masses and better odds for boaters as soon as spawning and warming water metabolism kicked in for all fish species.
Casters in search of everything from daytime panfish and catch-and-release bass to night forays for walleye can work relatively clear waters with temperatures in the 50- to 60-degree range along shorelines of deep and shallower lakes. Deeper waters can produce nice numbers of bottom-holding yellow perch and incoming schools of trout and salmon, but shore anglers can continue to enjoy fisheries that typically get lost to deeper waters when things start warming in early May.
Lake Erie
Walleye trollers saw mixed results for night runs on opening week. That school of barely 15-inch fish last year has shown at 18 inches at this season's start. Many of the boaters working the Buffalo to Hamburg shoreline took more of these 'eyes than smaller or larger year classes of walleye.
Night boaters are cautioned to have all the proper lighting and safety gear on board when motoring along the near-shore shallows. U.S. Coast Guard patrols have been checking vessels in those crowded boating lanes. Day and nighttime boaters must make sure to report their planned trips into Canada at the CanPass number before venturing into Canadian waters. That number is (800) 842-7647 for boaters planning to fish Ontario Province waters but will not land on shore during the trip.
Perch fishing has been more consistent on the Ontario shoreline than New York State of late. On both sides, the most mentioned water depth has been 54 feet. Ventures off Point Abino, Crystal Beach and Windmill Point all have resulted in sizeable ringbacks.A waypoint hot spot one day could be a dead spot the next day. A trip last Friday resulted in searches from Cattaraugus Creek to Sturgeon Point before we hit into numbers and bigger perch. Rick Miller at Miller's Bait & Tackle in Irving got good reports of Saturday catches and poor results in the same places on Sunday runs.
Niagara River
Lower river smelt dipping is history, but boaters in Devil's Hole are still sticking a steelie or two while bass move into warming river waters. Water temperatures move at and slightly above 50 degrees, which ended the smelt run but has yet to trigger a perch presence along the river's shoreline.
Lake Ontario
Lake Ontario Counties Derby entrants are pounding lake trout in Ontario's western waters. Virtually all the laker division entries are from west of Point Breeze, with a good number pulled from around the Niagara Bar. Look for a detailed report on an expert bar drifter on the Sunday Outdoor Page. Trollers hit the green can (navigation buoy) on passes, but the major work is being done deeper and around the red can some four miles out and along the big drop-off to open waters.
The Derby continues to 1 p.m. Sunday and fish movement offers greater promise for kings and lakers at the west end of the lake and brown trout off eastern ports. To check the leaderboard, go to loc.org.
Inland Lakes
Chautauqua Lake: Crappies school slightly deeper, with the Lakewood Bar area showing best in the Southern Basin. With weed growth still down, both crappie and nice bluegill schools have been active.
Silver Lake: Boaters finally began hitting into blue gills, with a few lingering crappie schools showing more at the north end. South embayment weed edges have been good for 'gills.
Honeoye Lake: The 'gill bite dominates; some crappie still gather along the northeast shoreline. Those bigger perch school in tight pockets out in 18- to 22-foot depths, but the bite is hard to find.

GLASSBORO — Two special visitors to Rowan University's campus on Wednesday drew some puzzled looks and plenty of camera flashes as students and staff wondered if they'd stepped back in time.
In fact, the very convincing George Washington and Alexander Hamilton who stopped to talk to students at the clock on Meditation Walk were actors from the Philadelphia-based American Historical Theatre. In an early celebration of Constitution Day — Sept. 17 — the founding fathers engaged students in discussions about the Constitution and the differences between early and modern-day America.
After one student asked who he was, Washington — played by actor Dean Malissa — responded, "Son, if you don't know who I am, you have to repeat your third year of learning," drawing laughter from the crowd.
One observer asked Hamilton — played by actor Ian Rose — how he felt about never being able to be President of the United States. Hamilton answered that assumption was a misconception.
"I was not born in this country, I was born in the British West Indies," said Hamilton. "However, the Constitution says one must be native-born or a citizen at the time of the signing of the Constitution, which I was."
Someone asked what the national debt was like in Hamilton and Washington's time and how it was handled.
"We are $80 million in debt, and we assumed the debt because many states paid their debts of war and did not want to help pay other states' debts," said Hamilton.
"Mr. Hamilton had to argue very long to convince the other governments that we all benefited, and that the federal government should assume the debt," said Washington. "We must take our place on the world stage and have to cherish the public debt and pay it down, never put it on the shoulders of future generations."
Washington and Hamilton spoke of their difference of opinion on a president's term. Hamilton believed a well-serving president should be able to serve a lifetime, while Washington believed in setting limits. They both said candidates vying for elected office should consider what is good for the country as a whole in the long-term, not just what gives the most short-term obvious benefits to certain groups.
Washington also offered some humorous commentary on the difference in fashions from the 18th and 21st centuries — especially noting the girls' attire. He gave an impromptu lesson on proper bowing and curtseying techniques for young ladies and gentlemen. And he addressed yet another misconception.
"Dr. (Benjamin) Franklin stood at six feet, (Thomas) Jefferson was almost 6 feet 3 inches and Gouverneur Morris was six-and-a-half feet tall," said Washington, who stood about 6 feet 2 inches. "I find that everyone thinks everyone in my day is short of stature. The door frames were lower to keep the heat in, not because of our height. We were quite adept at bumping our heads."
After posing for some photos with the historic figures, the students in attendance seemed pretty impressed.
"I thought it was really cool," said Larry Campbell, 20, of Swedesboro. "They were very knowledgeable about the Revolution and the Constitution, and they presented themselves very well."
Bob Camplin, 20, of National Park agreed that the presentation was very informative.
"It was also funny," said Camplin. "They stayed in character and were very believable. You actually thought they were from that time."
Markeishia Wright, 18, of Pilesgrove said she had come to the presentation right from her American Government course and couldn't wait to talk about the visit at her next class.
"I also plan to curtsey to my friends when I see them," she added with a laugh.
Kat Atkinson said she loved the Constitution Day event.
"I think interactive history is one of the best learning tools," said Atkinson, 21, of Pittsgrove. "They really portrayed the time period and the experiences they had."

WOODSTOWN — The borough council voted to authorize the mayor to sign a shared service agreement for trash pick-up with Logan Township, officials said.
Although a contract has not been signed yet, council unanimously authorized Mayor Don Dietrich to sign a contract once details are finalized between the municipalities.
Logan Township also shares services with Swedesboro and Harrison Township.
Currently, the borough is contracted with a private party that comes through Woodstown and picks up recyclables and regular trash on Mondays.
The contract between the borough and the private contractor will expire in March.
Dietrich said the shared service will not start until after the current contract expires.
The borough is finishing up a 12-month contract with Casworth Waste at $62,522, according to Chief Financial Officer Jim Hackett.
Additionally, Woodstown receives services from Waste Management for recycling through a 12-month contract at $72,918.
The contract year is typically March 1 through Feb. 1, according to Hackett.
By entering into the shared service, the borough will save 20 percent on trash costs, Dietrich said, adding that official cost numbers for the service have not been finalized yet.
According to borough officials, there are approximately 1,400 residences and businesses combined in Woodstown.
Each would receive a new trashcan for the shared service. Borough council is now discussing whether to lease the trashcans or to purchase them.
During the recent council meeting, discussion of storage space for unused cans was raised but a decision was not made.
"As part of this, we will have to issue a capital investment in new trashcans, and we are looking at all sides of buying versus leasing them. And, you have to store trashcans that aren't distributed if needed," Dietrich said.
Logan's trash pick-up is run by a single employee using a truck with an automated arm, reducing the number of people needed to work on the truck.
The borough is planning for a multiple-year contract, once signed by both parties.
Logan Township Mayor Frank Minor declined to comment Friday.
Trash pick-up would be an additional shared service in Woodstown. The borough has shared municipal court services with five other municipalities, as well as a shared fire company and ambulance squad with Pilesgrove.
Previously, a potential shared construction code office was discussed but has yet to come to fruition.
"We are always looking for shared service opportunities that reduce costs for our residents. We will continue to do that. It is a growing trend," Dietrich said.

The tail at the bottom of your baby's spinal cord has shrunk and almost disappeared by this week. In contrast, your baby's head has been growing — it's quite large compared with the rest of the body and it curves onto the chest. By this week, your baby measures about 0.6 to 0.7 inches (16 to 18 millimeters) from crown to rump and weighs around 0.1 ounces (3 grams). The tip of the nose has developed and can be seen in profile, and flaps of skin over the eyes have begun to shape into eyelids, which will become more noticeable in the next few weeks.
The digestive system continues to develop. The anus is forming, and the intestines are growing longer. In addition, internal reproductive features, such as testes and ovaries, start to form this week.
Your baby may make some first movements this week as muscles develop. If you had an ultrasound now, those movements might even be visible, but you won't be able to feel them for several more weeks.
In preparation for your first prenatal visit, take the time to familiarize yourself with your family's health history and to review your medical records. Have you had any chronic illnesses, allergies, or surgeries? Are you currently taking any prescription medications? Do you know of any genetic disorders that run in your family? Has your menstrual cycle been regular, and have you had any past pregnancies? Do you smoke or drink alcohol? What are your exercise habits? These are the things your health care provider will want to discuss with you, so it will help to have this information ready when you go.

The Motley Fool's health-care show Market Checkup focuses this week on diabetes, one of America's growing health-care concerns. There are two versions of this chronic disease, the more prevalent being type 2 diabetes, which makes up about 95% of all cases. Because of the overwhelming patient population, type 2 diabetes receives the majority of attention from Big Pharma companies.
Diabetes is no small problem. In 2010, one in 10 adults had diabetes, and more troubling, more than one in four senior citizens suffered from it. Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death, and there are 2 million new cases in America every year, leading analysts to project spending on diabetes to approach $60 billion in just five years. And this isn't just an American problem: 370 million suffer from diabetes around the world.
In this video, health-care analysts David Williamson and Max Macaluso discuss the cutting edge of insulin treatments, including a new long-acting insulin by Sanofi. The pharma currently dominates the insulin market, but generic competition is on the way. Watch as David and Max discuss whether Sanofi's newest insulin in development, U300, can use better performance to hold on to the company's market share.

Why It Doesn't Bother Me When Strangers Rub My Pregnant Bellystrollerderby
Teresa Strasser is an Emmy- and Los Angeles Press Club Award-winning writer and radio and television personality. The following is an excerpt from her new book from Penguin, Exploiting My Baby: A Memoir of Pregnancy and Childbirth.
We pregnant girls are united in what some might call "acquired situational narcissism," but what I prefer to think of as a harmless case of "It's all about us." Who else would even bother pretending to care about nuchal fold measurements or leg cramps?
We need each other. We really do.
That's why I really hate to turn on my own kind.
It seems kind of petty, I know, but I just want to haul off and smack pregnant ladies who get all bent out of shape when people rub their stomachs. You really need to lighten up and get over yourself, two pieces of advice I myself have never been able to take, but which seem very fitting in light of the low level of affront that is actually being done to you. Someone is patting your belly. That's it. It's not like strangers are walking up to you and ambushing you with a trip to third base. That would be rude, and unsanitary. No, they are just grazing your shirt, keeping many layers of fabric, skin, fat, muscle and fascia between their fingers and your future child.
And generally, it is not some belly-molesting evil-doer trying to attack you, but rather a nice, well-meaning person experiencing the magnetic pull of your irresistible, giant bump.
If you don't see why that mesmerizes people, you just don't understand the miracle of childbirth. C'mon. Take a step back. A baby grows in your stomach and comes out of your vagina and then goes to nursery school and becomes a full-fledged human being, who may very well create other full-fledged human beings. If you think about it, and I don't suggest you do this high, it's mind-blowing.
I see where you're coming from, I really do. You don't think people should invade your body bubble just because you're pregnant; after all, they wouldn't do this horrible thing to you if you weren't pregnant, wouldn't dream of it. Yes, your body is still your own, absolutely. I just don't quite grasp the near religious fervor that seems to screech, "Don't touch me, because I'm so special that if your grubby hand goes anywhere near my precious child, I'm going to get regular people cooties!"
Do you really need the righteously indignant and borderline sanctimonious "Hands Off My Bump" maternity t-shirts and others like it that are available online and also in hell, where ironic maternity t-shirts are very popular? Talk about literally wearing your aggression and smugness on your sleeve.
If you want to hear a chorus of pregnant women shout "Hallelujah," just start going off about strangers or even relatives touching your stomach, which is why I really wish I could relate or at least fake agree; I'd love a chorus behind me and I think it's patently obvious I need validation like my fetus needs folic acid. I just can't lie, though. Women who wear those bitter message t-shirts bother me. Getting riled up about this isn't nearly as adorably sassy as some women think it is.
It would be nice to think of those of us on the verge of becoming mothers as warm, cuddly, open creatures who will endeavor to make our babies feel safe and cozy in the world, not as rigid rule-makers and enforcers who will crumble the first time some poop lands on our pristine white changing table pad or perhaps works its way into our giraffe-themed nursery throw rug.
I hear tell childbirth is going to be a messy business. Hands will be on us, grabbing or cutting out a kid and possibly helping to shove our nipples into their little mouths.
My specialty is whining about nothing, and this annoys even me. Pregnant ladies, quit wearing "Hands Off" t-shirts and start recognizing that your personal space is going to be invaded from here on out. Or just get some crime scene tape and carry it around with your everywhere you go. And don't be mad at me. I'm just trying to point out what a high-quality, first-world problem this really is. "Hands Off" being intolerant and shrill and maybe "hands around" the concept that your belly is just so compelling it makes nice people toss away their manners.
*For our readers on the west coast, Teresa will be signing books at Green Apple Books in San Francisco on February 25th.

As you need to connect two external monitor with your IdeaPad U400. You can connect the external Monitor via HDMI port, if it is available in your system.
Alternatively, you will need to create a two monitor connection via the USB input with a VGA to USB conversion cable, you can purchase these cables at any local computer store. And able this feature in your system.

Last week I purchased a new XD-40. This is my first polymer framed pistol. I really like this gun and want to make sure I maintain it properly. So far I have been using Remoil on the slide. Is there anything else out there that would work better?

Ernest Hemingway penned one of his all-time great lines in the novel "The Sun Also Rises," when one character asks another how exactly he went broke.
"Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly."
The same could be said of the Detroit Lions' coaching search. It has moved hardly at all, and could move all at once in the next couple days.
San Diego offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt has been the sexy candidate from the start, for his work with a young Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh and an aging Kurt Warner in Arizona, and now reviving Philip Rivers' once-flickering career this season.
If you're looking for a guy to breathe life, and maybe some consistency, into Matthew Stafford -- and Stafford's presence at the Jim Caldwell interview Friday shows just how serious the Lions are about that -- Whisenhunt is about as fail-safe as any obtainable coach could be. And he's thought to be eminently obtainable.
ESPN reported over the weekend that Detroit's job is believed to be Whisenhunt's to lose.
But the Lions also haven't been able to talk to Whisenhunt because the Chargers faced Cincinnati on Sunday in the opening round of the playoffs. And the Bengals featured two other potential Detroit suitors in offensive coordinator Jay Gruden and defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer.
So the Lions' search thus far has been relegated to vetting Whisenhunt and the others, and little else.
Detroit, considered by some to be the best remaining opening, has conducted only one known interview -- Caldwell, the Ravens offensive coordinator -- and appears a long way from executing a hire.
They were believed to have interest in former Bears coach Lovie Smith, but he was quickly hired by his former employer, Tampa Bay. And Penn State's Bill O'Brien was a logical fit, for many of the same reasons Whisenhunt makes sense, but was snatched by Houston.
Venerable Super Bowl-winning coaches Bill Cowher, Tony Dungy and Jon Gruden offered their annual rebuttals for a return to the sidelines. Top college coaches turned down the NFL jump, including Baylor's Art Briles, Stanford's David Shaw and Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin.
And so the Lions have had little choice but to move slowly to replace Jim Schwartz, who was fired after going 29-51 in five mostly disappointing seasons. But that could change this week, as Whisenhunt, Zimmer and Jay Gruden become eligible for interviews.
The Lions can finally talk to whomever they want (with permission from candidates' current teams). But if they want to go with Whisenhunt, they'll have to wait at least another week to make the hire because San Diego beat Cincinnati 27-10 on Sunday and advances to face Denver on Sunday in the divisional round.
Candidates cannot be hired while their current teams remain in the playoffs, per NFL policy.
Detroit can conduct a second interview during the week after the conference championship game, but that's it, as long as the Chargers remain alive.
Zimmer and Gruden, on the other hand, are fair game, and one or both could make their way to Allen Park for an interview.
After a quiet week from Detroit, expect the noise to pick up in the coming days.

Officials in Seminole County are looking for the person who stole two firearms from a vehicle in Altamonte Springs.
The incident happened at a Starbucks on Spring Centre South Boulevard Thursday morning.
Authorities said the burglar broke the vehicle's window and took a briefcase containing a .38 caliber gun and a .32 caliber gun.
Anyone who has information about this incident is asked to call the Altamonte Springs Police Department.
