The majority of Connecticut's registered voters — 68 percent — support the use of red light safety cameras on busy streets, according to survey results released last week by The National Coalition for Safer Roads (NCSR). And when informed that state legislators will soon vote on the issue, 67 percent of those polled surveyed maintained their support.
The survey also found that 70 percent of voters sampled (half of the total voters polled) felt that other drivers are more careful when they know red light safety cameras are present.
The bill already has support from Gov. Dannel Malloy, according to the Stamford Advocate. Rep. Tony Guerrera, D-Rocky Hill said that drivers caught on camera would face a proposed fine as high as $75 if the bill passes.
"We are pleased to see that Connecticut voters understand the need for red light safety cameras and want to see legislation passed allowing for this proven life-saving technology," David Kelly, NCSR's President and Executive Director, and former acting administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said in a statement.
Following coverage of the proposed legislation , Kelly to Fairfield Patch defending the idea that red light safety cameras .

Revision3 » Shows » Archive » Systm » Add Night Vision To Your Car: Avoid Suicidal Deer
Adding thermal imaging to your car is a lot easier than you might think... think car stereo plus some light fabrication. Seeing further in the dark? That's priceles
Would you like to see well beyond your high beams at night? Or see thru dust and light fog when you're behind the wheel and there's no where to pull off? We found an easy way to do it: FLIR's PathfindIR.
The PathfindIR is a thermal imager; that means it senses heat, the infrared energy radiated by the objects in front of its lens, and converts it into a visible image you can see.
It really does work in total darkness: hot objects, such as pedestrians and deer grow bright white, colder objects like clouds or concrete embankments grow a lighter grey. Cold objects, say, a can of coke? They look black on the monitor.
The end result is an image of what's coming up 3 to 5x past your high beams, according to FLIR. We found it easy to scan mounted up by our rear view mirror. Just watch for the bright flashes (and the dark ones) in the drive path.
Is a PathfindIR cheap? No.
But we found it fairly painless to install, since any monitor that can accept an regular old NTSCcomposite video signal can display video from the PathfindIR. (PAL models are also available.)
OK, we did mount it on a light bar on the front of the test truck rather than (a more typical) behind the grill mount that would require taking a hole saw to the grill and bolting it to a radiator mount... that certainly cut down on intallation pain!
Tons of video of the PathfindIR in action in the video!

I fly out of David Wayne Hooks (KDWH) in northwest Houston / Tomball, but can accommodate surrounding airports as well - Conroe (KCXO), Sugarland (KSGR), Huntsville (KUTS), West Houston (KIWS), College Station (KCLL), etc.
Only restriction is that I can only fly on weekends..darned job interferes with the important stuff.

For The Register-Herald
Regional wrestling tournaments will be held Friday and Saturday throughout the state of West Virginia. These tournaments will determine what wrestlers will qualify for the state championships on the following weekend.
Local Region 3 AA-A schools will begin regional wrestling at Independence High School on Friday at 6:30 p.m. Wrestling will resume at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
The fourth-ranked Independence Patriots are the defending regional champions and finished second in the state tournament last season. Greenbrier West has been hot of late and has beaten the Patriots in at least three different competitions. They are currently ranked second in the state coaches poll.
If you look at the individual rankings of the coaches poll here's how the results will transpire. Championship matches will be:
106 — Teddy Stover (Indy) vs. Caleb Currence (West) in the finals.
113 — Will Cox (Indy) vs. Ben Alderson (West)
120 — Chris Patton (West) will win!
126 — Jordan Grimmett (West) will win!
132 — Colton Ward ( Indy) vs. Dustin Yoakum (West)
138 — Dakota Clifton (Liberty) vs. Chris Clark (Indy)
145 — Dustin Justice (Indy) vs. Jordan Tincher (West)
152 — Malik Boatright vs. RJ Elam (Liberty)
160 — Brandon Eldridge (Bluefield) vs. Austin Stewart (Richwood)
170 — Tyler Parker (West) vs. Jacob Tyler (Nicholas)
182 — Charles Ayers (Liberty) vs. Thomas Williams (Indy)
195 — Shawn Pennington (Bluefield) vs. Dylan McBride (Indy)
220 — Cody Loudermilk (West) vs. Julius Thomas (Bluefield)
285 — Donovan Vance (Liberty) vs. Zach Fleshman (Indy)
Now, I am not much of a numbers guy but I do agree with most of the rankings. However, look for surprises in the 160-pound and 195-pound class. Also, if you follow the coaches rankings, Greenbrier West will win the team title by a narrow margin and qualify 11 or 12 wrestlers for the states. Anyway you put it, the tournament will be interesting.
Beckley, Oak Hill, Princeton, Shady Spring and Greenbrier East will travel to Ripley to participate in the Region 3 AAA regional. Ripley should be the team to beat but Shady Spring may prove to be a formidable foe. Here's how the coaches poll will see the regional finals:
106 — Logan Robertson (SS) vs. Jasiel Kinder (GE)
113 — Leland Swafford (WW) vs. Levi Smith (GW)
120 — John Forren (SS) vs. David Pancake (GW)
126 — Tyler Kosut (SS) vs. Jensen Lorea (GW)
132 — Autin Hileman (Rip) vs. Marc Williams (OH)
138 — Jake Martin (Rip) vs. Nick Farley (SS)
145 — Brandon Stump of Shady will win!
152 — Preston Martin (Rip) vs. Cole Williams (WW)
160 — Jake Smith (GW) vs. Josiah Solak (GE)
170 — Davis Solak (GE) vs. Nate Starkey (RIP)
182 — Pat Vance of Capital will win!
195 — Greg Medina of Ripley will win!
220 — No preference!
285 — Daryl Hicks (Rip) vs. Daniel Pettrey (WW)
Looks like some good matches. Go out and support your favorite wrestler.
This week a squeeze of the water bottle goes to Randall Harrah, a big wrestling fan and an avid reader of this column.

When is a cloud not a cloud? Perhaps when it behaves so strangely - even to the point of attacking people - that it becomes a truly puzzling manifestation
There's more unexplained strangeness in our skies other than UFOs. For generations, eyewitnesses have reported absolutely weird and astonishing activities or attributes from ordinary and sometimes not-so-ordinary looking clouds. Some of these reports were even recorded in prestigious scientific journals.
Do you think only rain, snow, and ice can fall from clouds? In an otherwise clear September sky near Agen, France in 1814, a small, white, spherical cloud appeared. It floated motionless for a while before beginning to spin and head quickly southward. Witnesses reported that deafening rumbling noises thundered from the cloud, and then it suddenly exploded in a shower of rocks and stones. The cloud then slowly faded away.
Besides meteorologists, perhaps no group of people knows clouds as well as sailors. On March 22, 1870, the crew of the bark Lady of the Lake saw a remarkable cloud and recorded its description in the ship's log. The report was reprinted in the Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society. According to Capt. Banner, it was a circular cloud which included a semicircle that was divided into four parts, "the central dividing shaft beginning at the center of the circle and extending far outward, and then curving backward." Transfixed by this light gray but most unnatural-looking cloud, the sailors watched as it traveled from a point at about 20 degrees above the horizon to a point about 80 degrees above. "It was much lower than the other clouds," the log stated, and it traveled against the wind. "It came up obliquely against the wind, and finally settled down right in the wind's eye," the report stated. It was visible to the ship for half an hour, and when it did finally disappear, it did not disintegrate like a cloud, but "was lost to sight in the evening darkness."
Mr. John Zeleny witnessed a peculiar, unexplained event in 1897. In a letter printed in a 1932 edition of Science magazine, Zeleny described a luminous, cumulus-type cloud that drifted over Hutchinson, Minnesota from the east. "It shone with a uniform, steady, vivid, whitish light and passed directly over the town," Zeleny wrote. "When the cloud was overhead, a great shower of insects descended to earth covering the ground all around to the number of about 50 to 100 per square foot." Upon examination, the insects proved to be a common type of bug of the species hemiptera. Zeleny also reported a second event that took place that same year but in Macerata, Italy. This time, out of blood-red clouds precipitated thousands of seeds unfamiliar to locals.
We've all seen dark patches on clouds, but how about patches that move from cloud to cloud? In the April 8, 1912 edition of Nature, the much-respected British science journal, Charles Tilden Smith wrote that at Chisbury, Wiltshire, England, he saw something in the sky "unlike anything that I have ever seen before. Although I have studied the skies for many years, I have never seen anything like it." Smith recalled that he saw two stationary dark patches upon the clouds. Extraordinarily, they were stationary with respect to the clouds, which were rapidly moving. The patches, which he described as fan-shaped or triangular, kept the same position on succeeding clouds as they passed across a particular region of the sky. Smith watched them for more than half an hour.
One year later, Monthly Weather Review published an April 8, 1913 report from Fort Worth, Texas that described a mysterious shadow of some unseen body on the clouds in the sky. "It was supposed to have been cast by an unseen cloud," the publication stated, "but this patch of shade moved with the declining sun."
Storm clouds can be foreboding and sometimes dangerous, but it's not often that one appears to be deliberately malicious. It was a summer morning in 1975 that school teacher Tom D'Ercole of Oyster Bay, Long Island, had a very bizarre experience with a cloud that seemed to be after him. D'Ercole was about to get in his car when he saw a small, dark cloud hovering above his house. "The cloud seemed to move and slightly enlarge as I watched it," the science teacher said. "This basketball-sized cloud floated back and forth across the peak of the roof, changing in shape from a small globular mass to a larger ovoid and finally becoming an abstract, muticurved, dark, vaporous 'something.' It finally measured about six feet in height and one and a half feet in width." Then things got really strange. As D'Ercole watched in fascination and puzzlement, the cloud appeared to inhale, form pursed lips, a spit a stream of water at him and his car - drenching them both. After a few moments, the spray ended and the cloud disappeared.

Temple Isaiah of Lafayette has taken a stand.
The temple's Board of Directors voted unanimously Tuesday night to express its opposition to the Boy Scouts of America's decision to disqualify participants because of sexual orientation. The board called for a letter-writing campaign by temple members.
A Temple Isaiah press release cited rejection of "a superb candidate for Eagle Scout in our neighborhood" (Ryan Andresen of Moraga).
"Though we cannot change the Scouts' national policy, we can work hard within and outside Temple Isaiah's walls to create an awareness of the damaging consequences of such policies on all our youth and on our communities," said Rabbi Roberto Graetz of Temple Isaiah. "Ten years ago, the Reform [Jewish] movement, through its governing bodies and constituencies, issued a strong recommendation favoring full inclusion of gay Scouts and troop leaders, in contradiction of the BSA policy forbidding their participation."

A future recreation space along Dark Hollow Road soon will have a designated name.
On Monday, Oakmont Council is expected to approve the name Creekside Park for the new area.
The creation of the area is part of a settlement between the borough and Kacin Co. The developer is responsible for creating the recreation space because its Edgewater at Oakmont housing plan doesn't contain recreation space, per zoning regulations.
Oakmont Recreation Board member Tom Bland said members liked the Creekside Park name because it goes hand-in-hand with Riverside Park, the main park in the borough. Another option was Creekside Sports Park, but the rec board and council favored the first option.
Creekside Park is expected to have a gravel parking lot, soccer field, little league baseball field and a field house—with restrooms, storage and a concession stand. The facility most likely would be used by the Riverview Athletic Association and Twin Boro Soccer.
The park could be open to the public in July of this year.

The ground crews on both sides of the rescue worked hard to get them to us on time and the transfer went without a hitch. Hopefully they will all find new homes soon. I put a short video together of the trip. Hope you like.

Oregon doctor tends to wounded at marathon
Apr 16, 2013
By The Associated Press
PORTLAND — An Oregon physician didn't have any time to rest after completing the Boston Marathon.
Paul Pearson of Florence had just finished the race and was walking back to a hotel with his wife, Rachel, when they heard the first of two bomb explosions.
Rachel Pearson told KCST radio her husband put on his sweats and began to treat the wounded. She said everyone jumped in to help on what she described as "a day like no other."
Pearson said she saw a woman charge out of a restaurant with a linen table cloth to help a young man who had blood flowing from his leg. She praised marathon organizers, saying it was obvious they had trained for this type of emergency.
Meanwhile, Doug Hull, a 46-year-old librarian at a Portland law firm, told The Oregonian he heard the initial explosion about a minute after getting a text message from his wife that said she had finished the race and was a few blocks away with family.
"All of a sudden it got quiet, dead quiet," Hull said. "Then you started hearing the sirens. Then we saw cops running."
Rumors flew and he worried about his wife.
"We were freaked out," he said.
But he was able to meet up with her, and they walked the two miles to their hotel.
Hull said he doesn't want his wife to run any more marathons. "This is going to be her last one," he said. "I'm telling you that right now."
Though the marathon results were overshadowed by the tragedy, Oregon runners excelled. Portland-based Shalene Flanagan was the top American finisher in the women's race and placed fourth overall. Another Oregonian, Kara Goucher, finished sixth.
Craig Leon, of Eugene, finished 10th in the men's race — the third-fastest American.

Troy Aikman still wants to kill skip bayless. Should show the kind of person Skip is.
Yeah Skip still blames Blake for not carrying the Sooners further in the NCAA Tournament. But Blake only played 2 years there. Would he blame any other sophomore? What makes that criticism more perplexing is Blake played pretty well in his last tournament averaging 25.8 points and 16.5 rebounds.
Skip Bayless is nothing more than a paid troll.
Man would I love to be paid to make controversial statements that don't make much sense.
I don't see how he can be so critical of Blake, specifically his problem with him not delivering during the NCAA tournament. Blake lost to the #1 seeded, eventual champion UNC while averaging great numbers. Skip's man crush KD, on the other hand, loses in a blowout to my Trojans. I don't see him catching the same criticisms. I also don't see KD having to get in fights to prove himself. Why? He doesn't have to because he's protected by the league with Dwyane Wade like treatment. You can't breathe on him without a foul, much less get cheapshots in like Griffin gets every other game.
Skip Bayless needs to get smacked. He acts like a spoiled best with his sighing and eye rolling?
^So true. I used to find him somewhat entertaining but his gimmick got old real fast. I'm a big fan of his brother Rick, who is kind of weird but nothing like Skip. I don't see how they are related. It's like night and day.
lmao exactly
I bet your ass want to play with my soft a** now, do you? Lmao
https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=6 ... tif_t=like
Can't see it lol.
For the record Chauncey never called Blake Soft.
And I hate gossip and rumors that just aren't true.
He was baited by Stephen A Smith and if you watch
the whole interview took up for blake and said
and I quote "BLAKE IS NOT SOFT".
I have the youtube clip so I challenge you or anyone
else to say otherwise.
^ saying that someone is too nice and especially in the nba is calling them soft
soft? NO. Supple? Yes. Sorry, that GoldBond lotion commercial with Shaq got me stuck on it.
Blake was a Charmander. Now he's a Charizard
Compared to his competition for best PF, Blake is like "The Thing" from fantastic four.
I want to see Blake on First Take ripping Skip a new one Richard Sherman style.
I think Blake has won the individual battle with the "BEst PFs in the Game" except that Love game where he almost dropped 50. Blake is no longer getting pushed around , and now he is doing the pushing. It showed with Lemarcus Aldridge. All his point came from jump-shots ( that is soft IMO ) Love is better than Aldridge IMO. Love scores in the paint, Griffin score in the paint. I just think the battle is between Griffin and Love and that is it. I think Blake has won that one.
I just want to see a Love to Griffin Full Court Outlet Pass Oop during the All-Star Game
I would say that Love still has to prove something... That he Can win. Something that Blake and LA have already shown in carrying much of their team's respective loads. You can't call LA soft just cause he shoots jumpers, he is really good on defense as well. I agree that Griffin gave it to him yesterday though.
No we call LA soft because he is Soft. I'd call him a NON-Power Forward.
He plays with no power whatsoever. He has the best mid-range jumpshot for
a big man hands down.
But if you watch his games he doesn't like to get touched,
take hard fouls, or contest big men going hard to the basket.
All you have to do to take LA out of his game is Play physical with him.
Which showed in the Clippers game, in the second half. Crowding
him doesn't work. But constantly pushing him, little elbows, and
hard fouls does and I think teams are catching on to it.
Love is a different story. As much as I hate to admit it
he is a beast. But still don't think he is on Blakes level.
He has padded stats due to being the #1 #2 and #3 option
on his team, and a Center who averages 8 RPG.
I'm more old school when it comes to basketball. Blake beats
guys up in the post and is truly physical now.
By the end of the 3rd quarter most guys don't
even want to guard him anymore so they throw
traps at him immediately.
Saying blake is the #1 PF in the league is almost
a disgrace now.
We should be talking about him moving close to the
best Player in the League.
As far as I'm concerned anyone who can put up
35ppg game after game is a beast.
Lebron - Durant - Griffin.
As above I agree:
There's a difference between the player and the man. You can drop 40ppg and still be soft. DelaHoya was called soft and he beat anyone who challenged him. They aren't mutually exclusive. This is a contact sport. Back in the day it was near as much as football. These guys are high on the testosterone scale. He's being bullied. The only way to stop a bully is to give what you get and they usually leave you alone. There is a difference between a fight and well placed elbow as a negotiating tool. In that macho world you respect a guy only if he gives you what he gets from you. It's called a conversation, aka non verbal communication. He fouls you hard, you elbow him. He respects you. He'll still foul you hard but he won't cheap shot. It's business, nothing personal. Now it's personal
I think he has the image of a pretty boy who won't get his hands dirty. He's now becoming a guy who will play in the trenches and get dirty just like the rest (a metaphor, not dirty playing)
Imagine yourself in a boxing match and you are a brawler. Which opponent will you later have a beer with?
A slick technical fighter who out jabs you slips your punches and beats you on points. You can't hit him but his punches don't hurt they just score points
A guy with whom you had a war. You beat each other to a bloody pulp you are both so exhausted that you both can barely hold up your hands and he drops you with a body punch?
Love is probably better than LMA but his stats are just so unimpactful. His supporting cast is not THAT bad yet he still can't get them into the playoff conversation. His stats are also misleading, considering he's been known to do things like shoving his teammates out of the way to get rebounds. And I really don't like his game, especially his Harden-esque "defense" and his insistence on chucking threes. But at least he'll score in the paint and isn't deathly afraid of contact, so that puts him above LMA. Both those guys are really good, but Blake's on a whole other level.
So Anthony Davis just told First Take that Kevin Love is better than Blake basically because Love is the toughest player he's had to cover. A couple of things...
a) Davis has played Love 2 times already this year (they played MIN 3 times but Davis didn't play one of them). He's only faced Blake once so far.
b) Love is a "tough cover" because he takes a lot of outside jumpers and runs off screens occasionally, forcing Davis to defend where he's not comfortable. Davis still managed to keep Love under 50% shooting and split the series so far. Blake is an "easier" cover because he's primarily an inside scorer, which allows Davis to defend where he's most comfortable. Just because Davis doesn't have to work so hard out of his comfort zone to defend Blake doesn't mean Blake is inferior. Because when the game is over Blake still got 21/10, shooting 50% from the field and the Clippers won.
We'll see if Davis feels the same way after the All Star break.

Kerry A. Dolan, Forbes Staff
I track the world's wealthiest people and their philanthropy.
I was goaded into getting my first ever flu shot yesterday by a new email campaign called "Flu Near You." I signed up for the initiative a couple of weeks ago. Every week I get an email with a link to a 2-question survey asking me if I have experienced any of about 10 symptoms (sore throat, aches, fever, etc.) and whether I have gotten the flu shot. I didn't want to answer "no" to the second question yet again, so I popped over to Walgreens and got the shot, then replied to the survey.
Flu Near You was created by Healthmap of Boston Children's Hospital, eBay billionaire Jeff Skoll's nonprofit Skoll Global Threats Fund and the American Public Health Association. It's free. It's fast. Anyone age 13 or older in the U.S. can sign up. I also chose to report my children's flu symptoms (or so far — lack thereof).
It turns out that neither flu outbreaks nor the rate of flu vaccinations are monitored very well in the U.S. It would be an expensive proposition to have the U.S. government track all this activity. So these three partners got together a year ago and began beta testing a system that in essence crowd sources the path of the flu.
"We think that people could be the fastest signal of when flu starts to spread in different communities," says Mark Smolinski, director of Global Health Threats at the Skoll Global Threats Fund. "In the long run, from our foundation's perspective, we want to do participatory surveillance on all the [health] threats that are out there." Eliminating pandemics is one of the goals of the Skoll Global Threats Fund.
Several years ago Smolinski and Skoll Global Threats Fund Director Larry Brilliant came up with Google Flu Trends, which aggregated certain search terms and search data to estimate flu activity, while both of them were working at Google's nonprofit arm Google.org. The results beat the Centers For Disease Control data by two weeks.
Flu Near You has collected data from about 50,000 people. Smolinski's goal is to get as many people to participate as possible. The nice thing about it: It doesn't take more than a minute to answer the weekly survey. And you get to see a map of your area and look at the level of reported flu symptoms.
As Superstorm Sandy was about to bear down on the East Coast and the San Francisco Giants were clinching the World Series on Oct. 28, the Skoll Global Threats Fund hosted an event about influenza at the historic Castro Theater in San Francisco. They showed the film "Contagion" – produced by Jeff Skoll's Participant Media. If you haven't seen it, do watch it. It's a gripping tale about a worst-case scenario pandemic. It'll make you think, and if nothing else, make you more vigilant about washing your hands more frequently (and make you try not to touch your face as often).
In a panel discussion afterwards, audience members asked questions. What I wanted to know: What do you say to people who tell you they got the flu vaccine and then got the flu anyway? Charles Chiu, an assistant professor at the UCSF Department of Laboratory Medicine/Infectious Disease, admitted that the annual flu vaccine isn't 100% perfect. That's because it's difficult for vaccine makers to predict what strain of flu will be circulating in the upcoming flu season. But the flu shot does help protect most people from getting the flu. And yes, people do die from influenza every year. That's a pretty good reason to get vaccinated.

"And yes, people do die from influenza every year. That's a pretty good reason to get vaccinated."
Wow . I suppose since many people die in auto accidents, I shouldn't drive a car. This reasoning is nonsense. The attempt at scare tactics, in this article, is a cheap shot and the actions of a coward. You people are a piece of work. Just do your job and stop laying a load of unnecessary guilt tripping and scare tactics on those of us who decided a very long time ago not to incorporate vaccines into our bodies. I know it doesn't make sense to you that some of us have been or could be damaged by these vaccines, but that is the truth of the matter and we refuse to allow your "little narrow minds" to control the bigger picture in our lives.
sorry dnt trust any of these vaccines. all lies

By Julie Huss
---- — In seven years on the job, Derry Town Clerk Denise Neale has never been challenged for her job — until now.
Former town councilor Janet Fairbanks will run for the position in this year's election.
Fairbanks is one of several residents already on the list for Derry's open town positions.
People looking to be part of town government or make decisions about the area's schools have until the end of the week to throw their name in the election ring. The filing period closes Friday at 5 p.m.
Right now, both Derry and Londonderry have open positions in key spots including town council and school board.
In Derry, some people get to Town Hall early on to sign up for whatever job they might like to have. Others keep officials guessing until the very last day at the very last minute.
Neale was still officially undecided earlier this week as to whether she wanted another term, but was leaning toward another run.
"It's been a long time," she said, "but don't count me out yet."
Derry also has open spots for District 2 councilor, District 4 councilor and a councilor-at-large position, all three-year terms.
Incumbent councilor-at-large Joel Olbricht already put his name in for another term. David Milz, incumbent District 2 councilor, will sign up later this week, Neale said.
Town Councilor Brian Chirichiello said he would not seek another District 4 council term.
Other open jobs are trustee of the trust fund, and both Derry Public and Taylor Library trustees.
In Londonderry, two incumbent town councilors, Tom Dolan and John Farrell, are also on the list for the two open spots.
Londonderry's town clerk/tax collector Meg Seymour will also run for another three-year term at Town Hall.
In her 13 years on the job, she has been challenged only once before. She wants another term.
"I just love the challenge and working with people," she said.
Both towns also have openings for school district jobs, including open school board positions.
Incumbent Derry School Board members Ken Linehan has decided to run again for one of the three open spots. Two other incumbents, Brenda Willis and Kevin Gordon, had not filed as of Monday.
"I believe I've played an important role in the management of the school, which has done extremely well over this period of time," Linehan said.
Gordon has served 12 years on the Derry board and said he was also part of many great changes within the district.
In Londonderry, two three-year town council terms are up for grabs. Other open town jobs include Budget Committee, treasurer and Leach Library trustees.
Ted Combes is on the list for a shot at a three-year Budget Committee job. Incumbent treasurer Kathy Wagner also wants another term.
There is also one open Londonderry School Board job for three years. The incumbent is John Laferriere. Other open school jobs are school district clerk, moderator and treasurer, all for three-year terms.
Town and school district websites have all the information on filling for open positions and what jobs are available. The deadline to file is this Friday at 5 p.m.
Voters will elect both town and school officials at the polls on March 12.

A Dozen Big Questions About Aging in America
Stanford Center on Longevity report summarizes aging and related demographic trends.
The aging of America is well documented. Even the youngest Boomers have been alive for more than 45 years, so their arrival is hardly a recently revealed secret. However, the implications of an aging world are not so frequently discussed or even raised. Governments and institutions at all levels already are overwhelmed with today's firestorms. Asking them to take steps to avoid future problems may seem like wasted effort.
[See The 100 Best Mutual Funds for the Long Term.]
However, the stakes of not asking the right questions about the future are enormous. The Stanford Center on Longevity has just published a review of major aging and demographic information and research findings. It's called New Realities for an Older America: Challenges, Changes and Questions. As someone who spends a lot of time poring over research studies, it is invaluable to have the major trends captured in a single report. Better still, its authors -- Adele M. Hayutin, Miranda Dietz, and Lillian Mitchell -- not only summarize what we know about these new realities but pose a lot of the big questions asking how we're going to deal with them.
The major headlines of the aging and demographic shift have also been repeated over and over again for years. Here are six headline highlights in Stanford's recap that will drive debate over how we deal with an aging society:
-- One in every five Americans will be at least 65 years old in 2030, up from 13 percent today and only 8 percent in 1950.
-- The U.S. will turn majority Hispanic in about 30 years, at which time Hispanics will equal nearly a third of the work force and dominate the youth market.
-- Older people are living much longer, and retirements are lasting 20 to 30 years instead of 10 or 15.
-- The worker to retiree ratio has fallen from 8 in 1950 to 5.2 today and will decline to 3 by 2050. If we raise the retirement age to 70, the ratio would still fall to 4.3 by 2050.
-- The numbers of households with older Americans has soared to about 22.5 million and nearly half of them represent older Americans living alone.
-- Healthcare costs are much higher for older persons, and the price tag for caregiving and housing medically dependent seniors will soar.
[See Social Security Defenders Circling the Wagons.]
Responding to these powerful realities, the Stanford report is peppered with questions for government and business policymakers as well as individuals. In this case, the report is an essential study guide to learning the right questions to ask. The researchers don't attempt to answer them, and at least today, neither will I. But they are all thought provoking and will be the focus of countless future articles and commentaries. For now, here are a dozen of the biggest aging elephants in the room:
1) How should we change our old-age support programs — Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security — and other age-related polices so that we, as a society and as individuals, can realize the benefits of increased longevity without being overwhelmed by the costs?
2) How will voting patterns and social spending priorities change as the racial and ethnic composition of the country changes?
3) What are the political ramifications of having an increasingly Hispanic work force pay taxes to fund Social Security and Medicare for the largely white non-Hispanic 65-plus population?
4) What challenges will people face as they "age in place" in the suburbs?
5) What incentives would lead individuals and communities to make realistic provisions for their long-term care needs and living arrangements, without adding to the already substantial budgetary pressures governments face because of aging populations?
6) What home-based services available in traditional communities would allow people to remain independent longer? How can communities and states insure that there will be sufficient institutional capacity?
7) What are the characteristics of age-friendly communities and what are the critical indicators of success?
8) Will rising levels of obesity cancel out or even reverse projected increases in life expectancy? What is the best way to tackle obesity, and how much would be saved by reversing the trend?
9) Will mortality rates for dementia continue to rise? What medical breakthroughs might reduce the prevalence, age of onset or speed of
progression? 10) How will rising health care spending threaten personal and national financial security as the population ages?
11) What incentive structures would encourage older people to work longer? What barriers and disincentives affect labor force participation rates among older people?
12) What are the most effective tools for helping people better anticipate the financial needs of longer lives? What are the financial skills and tools necessary for appropriate decision making and planning regarding savings, retirement benefit plans, retirement age, housing choices and health care expenditures in an age of rising costs and asset volatility?

DURHAM — To a runaway slave, the sight of a North Star quilt hanging from the wash line or a homes window was a sign of freedom. The Drunkard Path warned them to run and hide.
Because most slaves couldnt read, their supporters some known as abolitionists came up with a road map of patterns they could rely on while traveling the Underground Railroad, said Meltonia Young, an artist and Road Scholar with the N.C. Humanities Council.
Young, who lives in Winston-Salem, brought her research about the role quilts played in the Underground Railroad to Durham for a talk Saturday at the East Regional Library.
She has a bachelors degree in African-American studies and a masters degree in liberal arts with a concentration in African and African-American history from UNC Greensboro. She has traveled extensively to study slavery and the Underground Railroad for nearly 30 years.
The railroad was a network of people white, black and Native American homes and businesses that provided runaway slaves with shelter, supplies and directions. The journey to freedom was arduous and by foot, usually lasting for months. Slaves would head north to Canada; south to Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba and South America; or back to Africa, Young said.
It was the first multiracial movement in America for racial rights and freedom, she said.
North Carolina had many stations along the Underground Railroad, Young said. The Quakers, also called Friends, largely lived in the Piedmont region and were strong supporters of the movement. Runaway slaves were often called a friend of a friend because of that, she said.
Guilford Countys most famous abolitionist, Levi Coffin, is considered the father of the Underground Railroad. He and his wife settled along the route, leading many slaves to freedom. They later moved to Indiana and established a station there, too the last stop before Canada, Young said.
At the time, Canada gave slaves who made it across the border one acre for every three they cleared, she said. Thats the story behind the Nine-Patch quilting pattern.
Other patterns, such as the Bear Paw and the Basket, pointed slaves to food, water and tools. The Monkey Wrench pattern meant a slave who was a skilled craftsman lived at the house. Because the craftsmen traveled between plantations, they knew how best to navigate the land, she said.
Young said there arent many documents to support her findings, making some historians skeptical. There wouldnt be written documentation about something that was a secret, she said. Most of the history was passed down through families or collected by historical groups.
It was passed from person to person, she said. You cant have a secret network that tells all the secrets.
Durham resident Margaret Neely, 84, said she enjoyed hearing about Youngs research. She only wishes more young people were there to hear the stories, she said. Only a few children were among the roughly 50 people at Youngs talk.
Neely, the great-granddaughter of former slaves, had heard from her elders about the patterns. They also shared tales of slaves who escaped to freedom and those forced to return, she said.
We were lucky in our family to have people live a very long time, Neely said. They would gather us around to tell us why people had to hide.

The nearest railway station is just outside the site gate, this is very handy as you can get to most places without taking your car or motor home, as normal in tourist areas car parking is quite expensive.

Bill Liddell (Club Member) stayed May 2014 This review is for Moreton Our initial reception was a bit abrupt from the female staff member, which didnt exactly make us feel welcome. However, the next 3 male staff members more than made up for her - they were extremely helpful, very friendly and a font of knowledge on the local area. The site doesnt have a lot of hard-standings, and although we and our friends booked at the same time, requesting adjoining hardstanding pitches, this was overlooked! However, luckily someone was leaving as we arrived and all was sorted out. The showers, whilst a teeny bit dated, were very clean, roomy and none of the "press button, have 10seconds of water). The train station is just across the road, which was handy for a trip into Weymouth. I've read previous reviews that say the train woke them in the morning, but we barely noticed it. Be prepared for midges ! As the site is surrounded by trees (and presumably some water nearby, there are swarms of them!).

Mikos Named to All-Academic District V First Team
Thursday, November 10, 2005Valparaiso senior Liz Mikos (Dundee, Ill./Jacobs) has been named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District V First Team for her work on the volleyball court and inside the classroom.
Mikos is the first Crusader to be named to the First Team since Laura Kulans in 1996. By virtue of the commendation, Mikos is now a finalist for a spot on the Academic All-America team.
The senior middle blocker holds every Crusader single-season and career blocking record, and nearly every single-match mark. Her 131 blocks this season lead the team, and are the fifth highest block total in a single-season at Valpo. Mikos' 1.39 blocks per game average this season is second best in the Mid-Continent Conference and her 554 career blocks are the second highest total in league history.
A history major with a 3.85 cumulative GPA, Mikos has twice been named to the Mid-Con's All-Academic Team, and she is the only player from the conference to be named to an All-District Team this season.
Mikos and the Crusaders close out their regular season Mid-Con schedule with a pair of home matches this weekend. Friday night the Brown and Gold welcome Centenary to the ARC for a 7:00 p.m. first serve, and on Sunday afternoon the Crusaders will meet Oral Roberts at 2:00 p.m. to decide the conference championship. Friday night's match can be heard live on www.sportsjuice.com and Sunday's match will be broadcast on 95.1 FM, WVUR, and online at www.valpo.edu/athletics.

Throughout history, people have sought ways to contact the dead and spirits. Such experiences challenge beliefs and often set people on a path of deeper exploration, looking for validation—and ways to have controlled, direct contact. Do spirit communication devices really work? What are the prospects of someday being able to pick up a cell phone or sit in front of a webcam and talk to the Other Side? While proof of contact is still elusive, there is an abundance of tantalizing evidence and experience to inspire people.
For the past century, inventors have been inspired by the spirits themselves to create telephone, video, radio, and computers to attempt real-time, two-way communication with the dead and other entities.
Talking to the Dead explores the colorful history and personalities behind spirit communications, weaving together spirituality, metaphysics, science, and technology. It examines the idea that new technology can connect to the ancient and universal wisdom of the "music of the spheres"; that contact with the spirit realms can be made through the vibrations of sound.

It's arguably the biggest song of 2012, but the reign of "Gangnam Style" is coming to a close. Psy told MTV that he will be "ending" his smash hit tonight during Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, capping a whirlwind year for the K-pop star, whose worldwide breakthrough came in the form of the signature pony dance in the "Gangnam Style" video. "Being in Times Square on New Year's Eve is already special – it's the biggest stage in the universe – plus it's my birthday, so, with all that, it may be the ending of 'Gangnam Style,'" said Psy. "I mean, what better way to do it? It's my biggest and most meaningful birthday."
Breaking Down Psy's 'Gangnam Style'
While Psy doesn't plan on completely doing away with his most popular song, he's anxious to follow up the hit with another. "The song became too popular, and so you start to have some concern about its life period," he said. "I'm really working hard on a new single right now, and I'm not saying ['Gangnam'] is ending on Dick Clark — I still have a lot of invitations to perform it . . . I'll be in Paris, and in February I got invited to perform in China, and I've still got to do promo. So let me say that in America I need a new single because 'Gangnam Style' got too popular, so I've got to write a new single."
Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve airs tonight on ABC. "Gangnam Style" has become the most watched video on the Internet, racking up more than a billion views on YouTube alone.

While the Retina MacBook Pro is easily the most desirable 13-inch Mac laptop to date, the high price and lack of discrete graphics make it a tough call versus either the more powerful 15-inch Retina Pro or the more affordable 13-inch Air.
The second generation of Apple's MacBook Air fixes many of our issues with the ambitious original, adding more USB ports, an SD card slot, and a more powerful processor.
Toshiba's ambitious Kirabook has a screen that rivals Apple's MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and a price to match. It's a solid, useful laptop, but for these prices, the design should really be more exciting.
Lenovo's Yoga 2 11 combines the popular Yoga hybrid design with an affordable 11-inch ultraportable for a system that's budget-feeling but sturdy, and one of the best of a new breed of low-cost hybrids.
If you can't quite afford the Yoga 2 Pro but still want a full-time laptop and a part-time tablet, the 13-inch Lenovo Yoga 2 is an excellent choice.
With their 360-degree rotating screens, the new 13.3-inch Pavilion and 15.6-inch Envy x360 convertibles join the budget-friendly 11.6-inch x360 from earlier this year.
While it includes some performance and graphics concessions on the lowest priced model, the 21.5-inch iMac brings Apple's iconic design and top-notch bundled accessories and software to a wider audience.
The Encore 2 starts at $200 and comes in 8- and 10-inch flavors, but they offer largely identical features.
Starting at $299, the E series covers a wide range of styles and features.
With a bigger screen than most Windows tablets and an included keyboard dock, the 10-inch Lenovo Miix 2 tries to walk the line between entertainment and productivity, but it's still a few keyboard tweaks away from success.

Thanks and thanks!
I come and I go. Gotta live up to my name after all.
What's this platypie business?
These are great
A lot of that is what Eric was saying :)
I've been in this club for a while. I think I'm onto something.
The hardest thing for me to discover is/was what I want. It's all self-fulfilling destiny ( recommend reading about this, it seems like you're an inquisitive person). If I don't have a goal, I'm a guy who doesn't have goals and that's what my life revolves around.
But if I have something I'm aiming for, a belief in what I am, I will find ways to make that happen. The trick is to find what you actually believe.

Montgomery County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Joshua Starr made it clear Wednesday that he values the opinions of the students when it comes to education matters.
Students packed Albert Einstein High in Kensington to talk to the district's top man. Questions ranged from the logistics of Question 7 and how the gambling money will be used, the variety of healthy food items offered at lunch and the technological resources available in the classroom.
Moderated by John Mannes, student member of the county's Board of Education, Starr jumped right into questions from students in the audience and those who sent questions via Twitter.
On revenue from expanded gambling, Starr said from his understanding some of the money is supposed to go to education, but it's not clear that all the money will be directed explicitly to the school system. He also added that if any extra money does come into the school system, MCPS will spend it wisely. Yet, he said he always tells his staff to budget the money they do have and not the money they are expecting.
As the town hall continued, Starr was asked about school lunches, seatbelts on school buses, technology in the classroom, the division in the classroom between special education students and other students and if there will be a change in school start times.
In regards to the hot topic of healthy lunch options, Starr responded, "I know it doesn't look like it from the cafeteria, but I will tell you we are working hard to find low-cost, better foods that kids like."
To watch the video from yesterday's town hall meeting visit the Montgomery County School homepage. The next student town hall meeting is set for Nov. 27 at Redland Middle in Rockville.

God threw a fastball.
Crazy stuff. I know that the asteroid that is supposed to fly by us today is missing earth by 15 minutes. I wonder if that was a piece of that.
Scientists confirmed that the asteroid over Russia is NOT related to the 45m one that's supposed to buzz Earth.
Soon we'll be hearing that "God is punishing Russian for xxxx". As a Christian, all that BS steams me every time some loon says that...
George, could you let us know if dogs and cats start sleeping together in central park?
Don't know if the spelling is right but remember the Tunguska blast? Scary!
Does anyone know the bearing for aiming a telescope at this thing from the middle of Illinois?
Yeah, that fast moving ball of fire in the sky.....turn that a way.
Did you see the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man also during those days?
I heard the world really did end on 12/21/12 and the government is covering it up.

I like to think the Tunguska Event was caused by Nikola Tesla having a "Hey, watch this !" moment using his Wardenclyffe Tower (a little too much bias on the flux capacitor ?).
It appears Mr. Grand knows a little bit too much about this latest Russian event. I think somebody should contact Homeland Security.
I am surprised at the lack of Bruce Willis jokes in this thread. I mean....come on? This is clearly a publicity stunt for the latest "Die Hard" movie, which conveniently takes place in Russia.
Here's some footage.
I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!
A bright meteor also blasted through the skies above the San Francisco Bay Area tonight. This was taken on southbound Interstate 280, heading towards San Jose....

Stick Dance: We are grateful to Prof. Basma Botros and her Egyptian community of Charlotte for teaching us dances from the Arab region throughout the semester in preparation for the international festival at Davidson. Watch the dance.
Eight Davidson students traveled to Damascus during the summer of 2010 where they had intensive language training and volunteered with Palestinian refugees and handicapped children.
Solitaire is a 45-minute monodrama in which one Egyptian woman explores the changing reality of Arab-Americans and Arabs living in the U.S. after the events of 9/11 and through the Egyptian revolution in Tahir Square. Solitaire is written, directed, and performed by Dalia Basiouny
A multimedia exhibition featured works by the Iraqi American contemporary artist, Wafaa Bilal.

An interdisciplinary series of events, "Voices of Middle Eastern Women," prompted a reexamination of perceptions of Middle Eastern women.
Eight Davidson students who had studied one year of Elementary Arabic during the 2009-10 academic year traveled to Damascus during the summer of 2010. They took intensive intermediate classes at the university of Damascus and lived in the Old City with Syrian families. True to the giving spirit and leadership qualities fostered at Davidson college, in addition to their rigorous coursework, they volunteered with Palestinian refugees and handicapped children.

Jon Stewart isn't the only one out there impressed by Fox's Romney coverage. On Thursday night's "SNL Weekend Update Thursday" -- the show's first since 2009 -- Vanessa Bayer, Bobby Moynihan and Taran Killam spoofed the news network and the logical gymnastics they've had to pull in order to spin the GOP candidate's 47 percent comments positively.
So for anyone out there who thought the Florida fundraiser footage was bad, just wait until you see what other hidden camera things they were able to unearth.
You'll be shocked.
Also on HuffPost:
Rob Schneider
In an interview with a California news station, Rob Schneider revealed his opposition to government-mandated vaccines, attributing them to Autism. He also said they went "against the Nuremberg Laws," although he most likely meant the UN's Nuremberg Principles, not the series of anti-semitic statutes passed by Nazis.
Jon Lovitz
On the "ABCs of SNL" podcast in April 2012, Lovitz made headlines for his complaints about Obama's tax policies, saying, "This whole thing with Obama saying the rich don't pay their taxes is f*cking bullshit, and I voted for the guy and I'm a Democrat. What a f*cking a**hole." He later called Obama "hypocritical" for holding a George Clooney campaign frundraiser and defended his remarks by saying, "Last I checked, he's President, not King."
Victoria Jackson
Tea Party member Victoria Jackson can be frequently counted on to offer an off-color remark, whether she's slamming "Glee," gays or Muslims, comparing President Obama to Hitler or saying that Rush Limbaugh should run the country. During her time at "SNL," she reportedly said, "Maybe I'm overcompensating, because everybody here is dying and going to Hell, and I'm supposed to tell them about Jesus."
Chris Rock
Chris Rock's career relies on his controversial stand-up and frank speech, but they've also frequently gotten him into hot water. In 2005 he was criticized for his harsh monologue at the Academy Awards and did not return to the telecast until 2012. More recently, on July 4, 2012, Rock made headlines again for a tweet which referred to the holiday as "White People's Independence Day."
Chevy Chase
Aside from his battles with Bill Murray in the early days of "SNL," Chevy Chase was rumored to be hard to work with on the set of "Community," and it all came to head in April 2012, when he became embroiled in a public feud with boss Dan Harmon. After Harmon called Chase out on his behavior at wrap party, he later played the angry, profanity-laden voicemails that Chase had left him aloud at comedy show. Harmon later apologized after being fired from the show he created.
Gilbert Gottfried
Gilbert Gottfried was part of the huge cast turnover of "SNL" in 1980, but quickly moved on with his comedy and voice-over career. In 2011, he found himself in hot water after tweeting jokes about Japan's devastating tsunami, leading to his being fired as the Aflac Insurance spokesperson.
Eddie Murphy
In 2007, Eddie Murphy came under scrutiny for his initial refusal to acknowledge Melanie Brown's, AKA Scary Spice's, daughter as his own. In August of that year, Brown complained to People that Murphy had not "paid one penny of child support." A DNA test later proved that Murphy is the father.
Dan Aykroyd
In April 2010, original "SNL" cast member Dan Aykroyd went on Larry King's show to share his eyebrow-raising theories about aliens: "I don't think we will ever have a formal relationship, a formal contact, with any alien species out there, especially after 9/11 when we broke our toys in the sandbox. If they were observing that, goodbye human race."
Tracy Morgan
After Tracy Morgan made homophobic jokes, during a Nashville stand-up show, an angry audience member blasted the comedian on Facebook, sparking a controversy. Morgan later apologized and the incident inspired a two-episode special on "30 Rock" called "Idiots are People Two" and "Idiots Are People Three."
Randy Quaid
Randy Quaid rocked "SNL" in the late 80s, but in more recent years he's made headlines for some very different reasons. In 2009, he and his wife were arrested for allegedly not paying a $10,000 hotel bill. The following year they were detained again for repeatedly failing to show up to hearings for the charges, and again in 2010 for allegedly staying in their old home without the permission of the new owner.
John Belushi
John Belushi is often remembered as one of the funniest "SNL" cast members of all time. However, in 2011, fellow original cast member Jane Curtin painted a different picture of Belushi when she went on "Oprah" and accused him of deliberately sabotaging sketches by female writers when he performed them at table reads.
Robert Downey Jr
Did you know that RDJ was an "SNL" cast member in the 1980s? He was, from 1985-1986, but most people know him as a film actor, specifically one who was repeatedly arrested on drug charges in the 90s. After a missed test in 1999, he ended up in the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison. After he was released, he began working on "Ally McBeal" but he was famously fired from the show after being arrested yet again.
