* Prices may differ from that shown
I have heard a lot of good things about London, which is one reason why; when Vicky and I needed a break and only had a few days spare, we jumped onto the bus to spend a few days sightseeing in our own country. Unfortunately the fact that we had to get the bus was the first thing we picked up on. You see driving in London is not something one does if one wants some recreation. London is an extremely busy city, and so traffic jams are a frequent annoyance as you navigate the city's streets. If that wasn't bad enough you also have to pay a toll on many of London's roads and as a result the cost of driving would be too great.
Due to this we have always preferred using public transportation whenever we have needed to visit London. This means that upon arrival you will have to figure out the local transportation system. Thankfully the city council has built their famous underground railway to take you anywhere you need inside the city limits. Despite an initial panic on looking at the map we found the underground no harder to navigate than the average road map. It was quite a handy little service really as; other than one changeover to get to the hotel, we found we could get to all the big stations from the hotel in one journey.
Unfortunately the underground did not come without a large sting in its tail. You see my wife Vicky is disabled, and the designers of the London underground did not give a thought to this when slapping the thing together. Of the 56 stops in zone one of the underground (the only zone we needed to use for tourism) five stops proudly advertised their disabled access on the map. Unfortunately this left 51 stops in which Vicky had to climb three flights of stairs on and off the Underground. Usually an escalator was made available for one flight, but otherwise you had to climb them unsupported yourself. Luckily for us Vicky is able to use a crutch (and my right arm) for small journeys so navigation was possible. However if you are dependent on a wheelchair then you will find the Underground impossible to use and so seeing any of the sites outside the train stations will involve a series of extremely expensive taxi fares. Even for someone as mobile as Vicky the two night trip has left her in agony and unable to walk to the bathroom without my support. (Temporarily)
This unfortunate situation is something that the local population did not really help with. You can encounter selfish people anywhere, but in London you tend to meet those same selfish people in a major rush. People will often barge past you on the escalators in an effort to save precious seconds before they reach the bottom. Ironically these ones would usually end up waiting with us for the train anyway. However what was most frustrating was when they would run for the train to make sure they get seats, even if that meant taking the seats reserved for the elderly and disabled. Sadly it's true that these people are everywhere, but in the hustle and bustle of London it was a lot harder for Vicky to cope. So if you do have any physical disabilities then please take that into consideration when planning your trip.
Now so far this review has been pretty bitter and negative, but there was a reason Vicky and I decided to go to London as tourists. London does contain several popular tourist locations and Vicky and I had a blast with the ones we chose to visit.
The London Eye
Our first stop was the famous London Eye. This is one giant Ferris wheel that towers over the London Skyline and enables a fantastic view of the city. Sadly we did not find the skyline all that interesting as 99% of the buildings are functional rather than beautiful. It was enjoyable enough at first pointing to different places (the building from The Apprentice, Buckingham Palace and Big Ben) but around half way to the top (after 10-15 mins) we had seen everything and were getting bored. This left us a further 30-40 minutes to contemplate the fact that we were towering over a giant open sewer. Your ticket also includes entrance to the London Eye 4D tour, a 3D movie of the London skyline with seagulls floating at you. We never bothered to go in to be honest.
Madame Tussauds
Our ticket to the London Eye was a combination ticket with the famous wax museum, so this was our next stop. This was far more like it. We had a lot of fun looking at these statues and taking photos of ourselves with various celebrities. The models were placed on the floors with no barriers between you and them, so getting close and admiring the detail is allowed. You are also allowed to get really close and pose with the celebrities, although I did not risk physically touching any of them.
Each floor was themed according to the celebrities you would see, from actors, singers, and historical figures. One notable floor was 'the vault of horrors' which recreated some of history's biggest killers. It also included one series of corridors where real people would run out of the shadows in mock attacks. None of them made physical contact but it was a creepy experience that made me start a few times, and Vicky kept her eyes firmly closed the entire time.
For a small additional fee (though if you have purchased a full price ticket this would be included) we were admitted to the Marvel Comics section of the museum. This was my reason for visiting, and it was here that I lit up like a school boy on Prozac. There were several Marvel statues inside including Spiderman, Ironman, Wolverine (the Hugh Jackman variant I am afraid), Nick Fury, and a two story high rampaging Hulk. I was disappointed with the limited number of statues to be honest. Captain America was notably absent. Yet I did enjoy certain photo points such as a Wolverine claw you could place your hand into.
However the day was not fully made until we witnessed the Marvel 4D tour. This was a fun 3D movie that saw the Marvel heroes defending London from the sinister Doctor Doom. Throughout this really cool film you will be treated to a degree of interactivity with the characters. For instance when Hulk sneezes into the camera you get sprayed with water, and when robot spiders flood Madam Tussuad's jets of compressed air ensure you can feel them at your feet. We both wanted to do this twice, but could not.
The London Museum Of Film
The next day I managed to beg and grovel Vicky into joining me at the film museum. This was actually an exciting experience for me, and Vicky insists my excitement was infectious. There was some cool memorabilia inside to photograph including the actual Gong from the old J Arthur Rank films, Brandon Routh's Superman outfit, and even Little Nellie from You Only Live Twice. These and other things managed to entertain me until we hit the Harryhausen exhibit where photography was sadly not allowed. There was some very cool memorabilia inside including a fully preserved Bubo the Owl. Plus the memories brought back seeing original models and surviving meshes from some of Harryhausen's classic monsters got me pumped up to watch some of his films again. There was also a Chaplin exhibit that we were not interested in and a disappointing Star Wars room with not one piece of original memorabilia.
Green Park And Buckingham Palace
What a dive! The palace itself is a fairly basic building with nothing but a few guards to make it stand out. While it was entertaining to see the guards doing their funny little march I soon grew bored. The park outside the palace was also a fairly poor effort, with no play areas for kids, no flowers, and no gates. There was nothing but trees, grass, benches, and pigeons. We decided not to picnic there after all.
The Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty's Theatre
Our final stop was Vicky's choice, but one that I was able to enjoy as well. I have seen a few of the Phantom of the Opera movies but none of them captured the sense of horror as well as the opera does here. It helped that Vicky and I had the good seats as management saw her disability and upgraded us to the second floor rather than the balconies. Yay management! The singing and acting on display was phenomenal and the sense of spectacle and wander was captured nicely through superb use of smoke and mirrors. The illusion of water in the sewer scenes was particularly eerie. I would definitely recommend it, and in fact it was I who came up with the idea of going back next year to see another play.
There is plenty more to see and do in London; including The London Dungeons, Big Ben, and Downing Street (snore). I would heartily recommend visiting Covent Gardens for a coffee and a sandwich while you are there as I found it a very pleasant spot to sit and relax. Though as with anywhere in London it tends to get decidedly busy, so you should pick your time wisely.
In terms of accommodation I cannot comment on an average experience. There are tons of hotels in London, but Vicky and I stayed in a basic bed and breakfast Travelodge and got what we paid for. Cold undercooked breakfasts, broken windows, and a mouldy bath were not entirely pleasant. There are plenty of much nicer places to stay in London but this was all that we could afford.
The reason was that everything in London is so expensive! Two packets of crisps, two bottles of Pepsi, and a chocolate bar set us back nearly £8. On the Underground we purchased one day passes for zones 1-2 which set up back £7 a day and lasts until 6:00PM. The day we went to the theatre we had to buy a single fair back for £4.50. We lucked out on a lot of the attractions as they were generally considerate of Vicky's disability. The Film Museum cost us £12 as I got in free as Vicky's carer. Eating out cost us an expensive £50. Though I have to be honest, this was in order to recreate our first date at TGI Fridays. All in all we spent nearly £600 on our first two day trip as everything was so expensive and we had to add travel and accommodation onto our tourist ventures. For fully able bodied people you can add a little extra to that, but you will have the benefit of enjoying yourselves pain free. Also I should admit that on returning to London we have learned to count our pennies and either eat fast food, or homemade sandwiches. This frees up significant money for sightseeing.
I would probably recommend London only if you can handle a lot of walking/standing and have some spare cash. The exhibits are definitely worth a look, though the city and architecture is fairly bland. If you can afford it then the shopping is always popular, and the theatres well worthwhile. Just don't expect a weekend of rest and relaxation and you should be fine.
London is the city to visit if you are considering traveling to the United Kingdom. With it's unique spots like Ben, the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, which is 135mm high and the world's tallest observation wheel and some of London's most wonderful theaters, galleries and museum ensure that there is something to see and do for everyone.
The West End shops are a must to see on Oxford Street, Regent Street, Bond Street and Tottenham Court Road, along with Camden town. There are the markets too in various parts of London, such as Portobello Road, Camden, Greenwich and Convent Garden.
London is a vast city with many places to see that with one visit it is just not enough. Visit Greenwich Meridian and set your watch by the red Time Ball that drops every day at 1pm. Visit Greenwich's popular market too.
Also, take a tour on one of London's open air Top Buses and get to see the sights on offer before starting your tours around London. It's a good way to see what will most interest you first in case you do not have much time in London.
Another area you may to see is the London Bridge and the Tower of London, where you can see the Crown Jewels and visit the castle. Not far from there, is the London Dungeons, which is an enjoyable excursion along with being scary. Here you get to see the history of the days of Jack the Ripper and learn about the Great Fire of London.
Visit Madam Tussuad, which is definitely a place you must not miss. This is a place where famous wax works can be seen.
In the evening, take in a show or play at one of Convent Garden's theaters or in Piccadilly Circus. Take a walk all around Convent Garden, where there are many artists on the streets performing, along with going to the market.
One place you most not forget is the famous Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square. Leicester Square has cinemas where all London Premieres take place, along with more theaters. Walk around Trafalgar Square and see Nelsen's statue.
Another place to visit is the Buckingham Palace, which is now open to public viewing. This is the home of the present Queen Elizabeth. Watch the Changing of the Guard too.
There is, also, some museums that not be missed. There is the British Museum, Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and the Museum of London, which shows special exhibitions like London's Burning that explores the Great Fire of London. This is the most interesting one of all in my opinion.
It is very exciting to visit London, which is where I was born. So, if you are thinking of taking a trip there, then make sure you write down what you want to see in order of preference, as there is so much to choose from.

The City of London The City is not to be confused with the city! Also known as the 'Square Mile', for the obvious reason that that's its approximate size, the City is small in area but is in some ways the heart of London. It used to be the whole of London, confined by city walls, until the establishment of a market just outside its walls around Covent Garden and a palace and abbey at Westminster started the process of extending the metropolis until it reached its current vast size. Even in the seventeenth century, most of the population lived here: the Great Fire in 1666 centred on the heart of this area. The City has never altogether lost its autonomy, and still has its own police force and Lord Mayor. However, the City is now barely populated and is instead the financial heart of London. For this reason, it is best visited on weekdays during office hours: in the late evenings and at weekends, it is almost deserted. Given its long history, it is unsurprising that the City contains some major tourist attractions of which the best known are the Tower of London and St Paul's Cathedral. That there are not more is perhaps in part a reflection of the Great Fire, which destroyed most older buildings including many churches. Many more historic buildings were damaged or even destroyed in the bombing of World War II. However, there are a huge number of places of interest, less well-known than the Tower or Cathedral. Better still, and perhaps surprisingly in an area devoted to the making of money, many of them are free. Here are just a very few of my favourites. Nobody is sure what the original purpose of LONDON STONE was. Theories include that it was a Roman milestone, of mystical importance, or of legal significance. Apparently, all distances to London were once measured from this stone. What is certain is that it was used as the site for events such as legal proclamations, it is mentio
ned by Shakespeare, and it was used for various functions including the smashing of substandard lenses and frames by the seventeenth-century Company of Spectaclemakers! Sadly, its more recent history is much less illustrious. It's had a rather turbulent time: it used to be much taller, but only a piece remains. Originally on the site of Cannon Street Station, it was moved across the road in the eighteenth century and set within the wall of St Swithin's Church. That church was bombed in World War II and the stone is at the same location, set into the Overseas Bank of China. It sits behind a grate, floodlit and almost totally ignored by passers-by. If you're feeling really fit, you can climb MONUMENT and get wonderful views over the city. There is an admission charge (£1.50 for adults); frankly, with that many steps – 311 - they'd have to pay me to climb it! As well as offering a splendid vantage point, this Wren-designed structure is a memorial to the Great Fire. It is 202 feet high, representing the distance from its base to the site of the baker's on Pudding Lane where the fire started, and topped with a golden basket of flames. Apparently, the original plan was for a statue of Charles II on top, but he objected as he didn't want to be associated so closely with the fire. LEADENHALL MARKET is a beautiful structure, with its small shops and arched, ornate walkways roofed in wrought iron and glass. Established in the 14th century, and rebuilt after the Great Fire, then again in 1881, it was originally known for its meat, fish and poultry but now houses more cafes and fashionable shops than butchers. Perhaps best visited outside the lunch hour, when it's crowded with City workers. The MUSEUM OF LONDON, in the Barbican complex, has recently opened new galleries. It's a wonderful place, chronologically narrating London's history right from its prehistoric beginnings
, and regularly featuring London-themed exhibitions. You can even see one of the few remaining fragments of the old city walls. Entry is now free, so you should definitely try to visit! You'll be agreeably surprised by the BANK OF ENGLAND MUSEUM, tucked inside the Bank. It much more interesting than you might imagine – there are fascinating displays, including a reconstruction of a trading hall from Sir John Soanes' original building as well as films, exhibits and documents setting out the history of the Bank (including the South Sea Bubble, riots and crime). You can even try your hand as a stock market trader. Yet again, admission is free. You can't go into the halls of the OLD BAILEY itself unless you're involved in a case. Although the old part of the building is lovely, it's not worth a life of crime to see it! Forget the architecture and instead, watch a trial from the public galleries. Courts tend to sit between 10 or 10.30am and 4.30pm, with a break for lunch between 1 and 2pm. Still in legal London, although strictly speaking right on the border of the City, TEMPLE was originally the home of the Knights Templar. However, their property was confiscated when their power and wealth threatened that of the king, and this area later became home to two of the Inns of Court (four societies; all barristers in England and Wales must belong to one of these): Inner Temple and Middle Temple. Just off Fleet Street, the sudden quiet and calm is almost shocking. Originally, barristers would live and work here; now they mostly just have their chambers (offices) here, most of the buildings dating from the 18th century (with rebuilding to repair bombing damage). Fountain Court is a particularly lovely place to sit for a few minutes, and there are also gardens although these are not open to the public (just gaze longingly through the railings…). Middle Temple Hall was used for the first perfo
rmance of Twelfth Night. Temple Church, now used mainly by barristers, was built by the Crusaders in the 12th century. Back on Fleet Street, look across the road to a sight familiar from the news: the marvellous nineteenth-century ROYAL COURTS OF JUSTICE. Unlike the Old Bailey, these are fully open to the public and the building is well worth a look. There are displays about its history and an exhibition of judicial dress. Nearby is Temple Bar, one of the boundary stones of the City topped with a dragon. Above all, though, just walk around this amazing area. The mixture of old buildings (a few even pre-date the Fire of 1666) and new skyscrapers, the contrast between busy main streets and tiny cobbled alleys, guild halls and Guildhall, the historic pubs and markets, stratospherically expensive shops, and numerous churches, all make this an amazing place to explore. PRACTICAL INFORMATION London Stone: Cannon Street, opposite the station – cross the road and it's a little way on your right. Monument, Monument Street: admission £1.50 for adults. Leadenhall Market, off Leadenhall Street. Open weekdays. Museum of London: follow the signs from Barbican underground station. Admission free. Bank of England Museum, Bartholomew Lane (Bank underground station). 10am – 5pm Monday to Friday. Admission free. Old Bailey: St Paul's underground station. Be prepared for security checks. http://www.londontourist.org/city.html has lots more great information. Andrew Duncan's book 'Walking London' has two great routes to follow around the City.
In Roman times what we now know as the City of London WAS the city of London. This is where London was born, remaining within the area defined by its Roman walls until medieval times. Today, though, the Square Mile is almost the sole province of besuited financial sector workers, emptying of human life by 8pm every weekday evening (and deserted at weekends). Hardly anyone actually lives within the boundaries of the City anymore - a great pity, as this is one of the most fascinating areas of London. Only the Tower of London and St Paul's draw tourists to the City in any numbers, but there's a wealth of other attractions. Foremost among these are the stunning collection of churches - almost all of which are the post-Great Fire (1666) work of the prolific Sir Christopher Wren. Some of the best include St Stephen Walbrook (39 Walbrook), St Mary Abchurch (Abchurch Lane), St Mary-le-Bow on Cheapside(home of the famous Bow bells) and St Bartholomew-the-Great (West Smithfield) - the latter was founded in the 12th century and is London's oldest and most atmospheric parish church. Other worthwhile stops include the Monument (built to commemorate the Great Fire), the ornate Guildhall, Dr Johnson's House (off Fleet Street) and, as Johnson would have agreed himself, some marvellous old pubs.

Manchester teens turn detective; police get their man
Victor Rosario of Manchester describes how he helped track down a man and woman police said robbed a CVS in Manchester Monday. (MARK HAYWARD/UNION LEADER)
Victor Rosario, 19, said he felt like it was the right thing to do after he saw a masked man demanding money from a clerk at the 271 Mammoth Road CVS store early Monday morning.
So he went back to his car and followed the man as he jumped on a bicycle, peddled to a nearby getaway car on Oakland Avenue and took off onto Interstate 93 south.
"I was trying to do the right thing. My family told me to be careful about what I do," said Rosario, a student at Memorial High School.
Rosario said he followed the robber's car off Exit 5 in Derry, lost it, and was then startled when the man approached him and revealed a small knife hidden in his sleeve. "He told me 'Get out, I don't want you here.' I closed my window quick."
Within minutes, Derry police arrived and arrested Manchester resident Seth Skillin, 32, and charged him with robbery. They also arrested the driver of the car, Robbi O'Rourke, 24, on a robbery-related charge.
Police said they discovered $900 in cash hidden in Skillin's pants leg and underwear.
Meanwhile, Rosario's family is wondering what to think of the young man and his step-brother, Jonathan Tavares, 17. A passenger in Rosario's car, Tavares kept police apprised of the robber's whereabouts via 911.
Rosario's aunt, Irma Rosario, said her family is worried sick about what might happen to the two teens.
"You're not supposed to get in the middle because it's none of your business. For us, right now, he's not a hero," Irma Rosario said. She said Rosario's grandmother is crying, and his father is worried.
Rosario's mother said she thinks the two were crazy for following the car, but is not as worried.
"I never expected they would do anything like that," she said.
Rosario said he went to CVS to get a soda after he and Tavares had a late-night meal at a nearby McDonald's restaurant.
It was about 12:50 a.m. when the robbery was reported, police said.
Rosario said when he entered the store, the robber told him not to worry and to do whatever he was going to do in the store.
Police said the robber had an unknown object in his hands and had the clerk empty two cash registers.

Africa News blog
African business, politics and lifestyle
Does the "billionth African" mean boon or burden?
One day this year, in all probability, the "billionth African" will have been born, a milestone that will only benefit the poorest continent if it can get its act together and unify its piecemeal markets.
Nobody knows, of course, when or where in its 53 countries the child arrived to push Africa's population into ten figures.
The U.N. merely estimates that in mid-2008 there were 987 million people, and in mid-2009, 1,010 million.
Given the difficulties of obtaining accurate data from the likes of Nigeria, where provincial population figures are often hostage to the ambitions of local politicians, or any data at all from the likes of Somalia, experts are reluctant to hazard any greater degree of accuracy.
There is less doubt, however, about the underlying trend — that Africa's population is set to grow faster than in any other part of the world in the coming decades, and to double by 2050.
To some, the statistics from the U.N.'s population division will invite comparisons to the Asian giants, and inspire hopes of a flood of investment from Africans and outsiders to meet the needs of a continent likely to be home to one in five people by the middle of this century.
By contrast, China's projected population of 1.4 billion in 40 years will be shrinking, while India will only be adding an annual 3 million to its 1.6 billion people.
To others, the numbers are stark reminders of the mammoth task Africa's leaders face in providing the food, jobs, schools, housing and healthcare that are still so sorely lacking.
UNFPA, the U.N.'s population arm, summarises by saying that sub-Saharan Africa faces "serious political, economic and social challenges" and points to the last two decades as evidence that more people does not mean more wealth.
"Twenty years of almost three percent annual population growth has outpaced economic gains, leaving Africans, on average, 22 percent poorer than they were in the mid-1970s," it says.
Are Africa's leaders ready and willing to create the truly unified common market needed to boost investment, trade and economic growth, or are short-term national interests likely to prevail, consigning Africa to a century of overpopulated poverty?

HOUSTON -- Houstonian Jennifer Welker is another mother of reinvention.
The 30 year-old, mother of two, is a neonatal intensive care nurse turned jewelry designer.
Welker explains, "I'm really good with my hands because starting IVs (intravenous) on those little babies I was able to hold these small pieces of jewelry and have control where I stamped the pieces (jewelry)."
She's also a savvy business woman with a risky yet rewarding marketing approach.
She sent two necklaces to Buckingham Palace with hopes one of the Middleton sisters would wear her jewelry. Jennifer couldn't believe it when Pippa Middleton popped up in a paparazzi picture wearing her necklace.
Since then, sales have soared. Welker's working on expanding the jewelry line to include earrings and something for men too.

New Jersey Natural Gas continues to work towards service restoration in Hurricane Sandy-ravaged towns along the shore and believes complete restoration could come by the end of the month, if not earlier.
In its daily update, the gas utility said mainland customers have all been restored and that on the barrier island a total of 5,285 feet of damaged gas pipes between Bay Head and Seaside have been replaced. So far, NJNG has been able to reintroduce natural gas in both the Mantoloking and Brick sections of the barrier island.
The ultility is now in the process of installing new meters between the areas of Downer Avenue in Mantoloking and Dune Avenue in Brick and should be finished by the end of the Thursday. Meters from Ocean View Avenue to Jeanette Drive in Brick should be completed by Friday.
Re-pressurization of the barrier island between Normandy Beach and Seaside Park will begin Monday, with NJNG re-pressurizing one section of the island at a time while it works south through the week. Traffic in areas where the re-pressurizing is being done will be blocked, though will be admitted during meter installation.
"We estimate that all sections of the Seaside peninsula will be re-pressurized and have meters rebuilt before Dec. 31," the company stated.
Service to Prospect Avenue in Union Beach should come Monday, the company announced, and in Manasquan, service installations have been completed and customers are now able to again receive natural gas.
In Sea Bright, Long Beach Island, and the Ocean County mainland, all customers whose homes and businesses can safely accept service now have natural gas to their meters, NJNG concluded.

Steve Obsitnik (R): The Connecticut Post detailed a couple elections where Obsitnik failed to vote in an election, including the 2008 election that Himes won against incumbent Chris Shays. Obsitnik says he voted by absentee ballot that year, but no records were found.

4/8/2013 This Way Out
Program #1,305
Hosted by Greg Gordon and produced with Lucia Chappelle
"NewsWrap": The U.S. Supreme Court hears two historic days of oral arguments on marriage equality cases – the first involving California's Proposition 8, and the second challenging DOMA, the federal Defense of Marriage Act; PTSD takes its toll on gay Army hero Lt. Dan Choi as he's convicted of a criminal misdemeanor for chaining himself to the White House fence in a 2010 protest against Don't Ask Don't Tell; French "family values" types "put the kids in front" as hundreds of thousands march against marriage equality - and police - in Paris; Pride is banned in another Russian city and its organizer is beaten as TV cameras roll; and the "Universal Machine", (ultimately persecuted) gay mathematician Alan Turing's forerunner to the modern computer, is named the greatest British innovation of the 20th century (written by GREG GORDON, produced by STEVE PRIDE, and reported this week by PAMELA BROOKS and WENZEL JONES)
People across the U.S. and around the world are still discussing the historic two days of oral arguments on marriage equality at the nation's SUPREME COURT on March 26th and 27th. The high court heard arguments on CALIFORNIA's marriage equality-banning PROPOSITION 8 on the 26th. Justices explored issues of legal standing, states' rights, discrimination, and the purpose of marriage in society (with an on-scene report by ALICE OLLSTEIN of "Free Speech Radio News" featuring comments by lead plaintiff KRISTEN PERRY, and excerpts from the hearings including remarks by CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS, JUSTICES SONIA SOTOMAYOR, ELENA KAGAN, STEVEN BRYER, Prop 8 defense attorney CHARLES COOPER, and Prop 8 opposing attorney TED OLSON; additional excerpts from the hearings feature JUSTICES SONIA SOTOMAYOR, ANTONIN SCALIA and ANTHONY KENNEDY, and Prop 8 defense attorney CHARLES COOPER; NYU Law School professor KENJI YOSHINO then briefly discusses the arguments with MSNBC's RACHEL MADDOW)
Justices turned their attention on March 27th to the Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA. The 1996 law bans the federal government from recognizing same-gender couples who've been legally married in Washington, D.C. and the 9 states that currently allow it – and denies them more than 1100 federal benefits available to their heterosexual peers. Brief comments by plaintiff EDITH WINDSOR following the proceedings precede ALICE OLLSTEIN's report for "Free Speech Radio News", with comments by U.S. SOLICITOR GENERAL DONALD VERRILLI, DOMA defender PAUL CLEMENT, and JUSTICE ELENA KAGAN; additional hearing excerpts feature JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG, CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS, and Windsor's attorney ROBERTA KAPLAN; and SHANNON MINTER of the National Center for Lesbian Rights predicts DOMA's demise with gay journalist REX WOCKNER

It's a lot easier to get things done in September, especially after a 2-month summer break. But now, in mid-winter, you may be feeling a little burned out. Have no fear! Here are 6 ways you can hit the "refresh" on your brain to help get your mo-jo back:
1. Get enough sleep
2. Give yourself a break & reward yourself
3. Ask to meet privately with your teacher
4. Study with friends
5. Buy new school supplies
7. Revisit and write down your goals
Revamping your motivation midway through the year can be tough, and not all of these tips may work for you. But as long as you keep yourself focused and try to eliminate distractions, you'll be able to maintain that same focus in February as you did back in September.

Mount Kisco's Village Board of Trustees voted Tuesday night to authorize selling an obscure piece of land the village owns in Bedford Hills to developer Diamond Properties.
The sale, which will be for $1,325,000, is for a property that is adjacent - it's to the west - of Diamond's Bedford Green on 117, a shopping plaza anchored by tenants including Shop Rite, CVS and Panera Bread. Diamond has owned the plaza since 2008, according to a previous Patch report.
The site, which is also east of the Saw Mill River Parkway and south of Green Lane, has a long history for Mount Kisco. According to Village Attorney Whitney Singleton it was acquired in the 1930s for use as a well water site. The property's water supply purpose, which also served Bedford, ended about two decades ago when a federal court order forced it to cease due to contamination.
The land is about two and a half acres, according to Singleton. Its current uses include a soccer field for the village, an ongoing lease for an existing cell phone tower, and easements for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) so it can install and reach electrical substations. Diamond Properties has agreed to continue allowing the soccer field for at least five years.
Jim Diamond, who is an owner of Diamond Properties, stated that the acquistion is because the site is next door to the plaza and serves as a place for additional parking.
"We're interested in acquiring this property because it is adjacent to our existing property," he explained "We intend to maintain the property and soccer field largely as is, except that we would like to improve the aesthetics along the back of the Bedford Green shopping center in the same way we have improved the front, including by upgrading the site landscaping. We're also interested in potentially adding some additional employee parking at the site and this additional land will enable us to do it in a well designed way."
The deal is expected to close around Jan. 1, 2013, Singleton said, although the date can be changed. Diamond has already signed the contract and provided a check for a $100,000 initial payment. The trustees' vote, meanwhile, authorizes Village Manager James Palmer to sign the deal on Mount Kisco's behalf.
Meanwhile, the village is working out a deal with Diamond to extend a lease it has on another soccer field, which is next to the developer's 333 N. Bedford Rd. commercial plaza in Mount Kisco.
The deal is good news for the village. According to Mayor Michael Cindrich, the sale price is higher than the site's appraised value, which he said was made around 2006-07 during a stronger real estate market.
"It is a beneficial deal, in my opinion, for the village," Cindrich said. He noted that the village had considered selling the property for about seven years. Cindrich also said that Diamond was amenable to leasing or subdividing the site.
The proceeds from the sale will not go into Mount Kisco's general fund, Cindrich said. Rather, the majority of it will go into designated funds, including reactional use. The mayor also said that the money can be used for future land acquisition inside the village boundaries.
A copy of the deal can be read here in the packet of the village's meeting agenda.

- Stir together the quinoa, 1/2 cup water, parsley, basil, and lemon zest in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, about 20 minutes. Pour into a mixing bowl, fold in the Parmesan cheese, and allow the mixture to cool.
- Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Lightly grease a small baking dish.
- Spoon a quarter of the quinoa mixture onto one end of each sole fillet. Fold the other side of the sole overtop, sprinkle with black pepper, and place a lemon slice on top. Place the sole into the prepared baking dish, and add the vinegar and remaining water.
- Broil in the preheated oven until the sole flakes easily with a fork, and the flesh is opaque, 3 to 4 minutes.

I made this with modifications (of course, I cant help myself!) I jazzed up the quinoa by cooking in vegetable broth and adding some italian seasoning, mushrooms and asparagus because I had them and needed to use them up. Balsamic vinegar instead of red wine. Didnt have fresh lemon to put on top and think it would have made it even better. My husband (who I don't think was expecting much, by the way!) said it was really good and maybe we should add some lemon pepper to the top before baking and I will try that next time. This is probably a 3 star before modifications, and a 5 after, so am rating a 4.
Cafe au lait
This dish was a nice combination of flavors. My husband said "wouldn't have expected quinoa in an Italian dish, but it went very well together." I did substitute Pangasius instead of Sole, which is a good alternative, I read on a site. The quinoa I cooked less time than was given - medium low, otherwise it would have scorched. My herbs were dry rather than fresh, but that was not a problem. I just did the dry to fresh reduction. Also my vinegar was apple cider - didn't have red wine. Due to the thickness of the fish and quinoa I did have to take it out of the oven after the 4 minutes and carefully flip it so the other side would cook in the broiler. All in all a good healthy meal! Thank you.
Stacey G.
This is a good basic recipe. My only difficulty was that it was a little bland. I'm on a lot of food restrictions, though, so I wanted to make this recipe work! Solution: GARLIC! I added 2 cloves of garlic to the quinoa as it cooked, and then sliced a 3rd clove and laid that over the sole before popping it in the oven. I also sprinkled a little sesame oil over all before tossing it in. I can't have spicy food right now... but should my stomach again be able to handle it, I would love to try this recipe with a little hot red pepper chopped fine and added into the mix. Someone try it and let me know how it turns out!

Weatherford Democrat
— By SALLY SEXTON
It began with a little rebellion and dreams of starting over for twin brothers in 1853, and ended with a celebration of history in the form of a Texas Historical Marker ceremony.
The presentation Sunday at the Tucker House, located off Tucker Drive in Weatherford, was a celebration of more than 150 years of family history on the property.
"It all started with Moses and Aaron Tucker, twin brothers, who moved here in 1853 at the age of 20," Ann Tucker Moody said. "As family lore goes, the brothers were in charge of the corn crop on the family farm back in Kentucky.
"That particular year, the crop didn't turn out so good and, because the brothers didn't get compensated, they decided to get on their horses and ride out."
The Tucker brothers settled on the Weatherford property in 1853, which was part of Tarrant County and surrounded by Indian territory.
In 1861, Moses Tucker went back to Kentucky and spent four years with the Confederate Army, leaving wife Martha and the children in a log cabin, located about a mile away from the current Tucker House.
"Moses and Martha had eight kids," Moody said. "One of them was my grandfather, Virgil Tucker. After Virgil married, his brother Jerry either gave him or sold to him at a minimum price, his share as sort of a wedding present to Virgil and Emma."
Virgil Tucker went on to get involved in numerous activities around the area, including time serving as a commissioner as well as on the Veal Station and Slover school boards.
"The fact that [the Tucker family] stayed and settled and became involved in the community is why we thought this property was worthy of submitting to get a historical marker," Moody said.
"My dad and my brother were born in this house and I remember playing with my grandfather, Virgil, when he came to live with us as his health was declining.
"He was a big man and he loved good food so he was a heavy man. He was always very jovial and loved to laugh."
Moody's dad, Guy Tucker, inherited his part of the property in 1946 and purchased the remaining land shares, 648 acres in total, from his siblings.
Tucker, who lived in a stone house with his wife Julia and children, continued running the land's dairy farm, renting out the Tucker House to different families including the Wrights and Trichells.
Tucker divided the property up amongst his kids, giving Moody's brother the old stone house and giving Moody the Tucker House.
In 1999, she donated the 1-acre segment, which also includes a dairy barn, chicken coop and small chapel, to the Silver Creek Heritage Society.
"This community is so tight-knit and a lot of people where families had settled here still reside in the community," Norlene Wright Carter, a cousin of Moody's, said. "I remember coming out here when I was a little girl. We wanted to save this house for further use [by the Silver Creek community] and help preserve its history."
"Our family had to have had a sense of adventure and courage, because they came out here with nothing, a strong work ethic and a sense of humor," Moody added.

Imagine pulling up to the curb in front of Pine Market District and having your groceries loaded into your car—even though you never set foot in the store to actually shop for them.
All a customer has to do is order groceries online at MarketDistrict.com/Curbside and then pick them up at the front of the store at pre-determined time and date.
The service was launched at the Robinson Market District in April 2012, and Robinson store team members have processed hundreds of orders to date.
Market District team members act as personal shoppers and select the items on the grocery list and bring them to the store's dedicated outside Curbside Express Pick-Up vehicle lane on the selected date and time.
Customers are able to pay for their orders while in their cars, and team members load the items into the vehicle. The fee for this service is waived on the first order and is $4.95 per order thereafter.
"Market District's Curbside Express makes grocery shopping more convenient than ever for our time-pressed customers," said Senior Director of Marketing and Corporate Communications Rob Borella.
"Building on the popularity of our Giant Eagle mobile app and eOffers digital coupons, Curbside Express brings grocery shopping to your nearest desktop, or even to the palm of your hand."
Borella said customers can choose from thousands of items the same way one would in the store.

Another View -- Susie Hackler and Rick Russman: The raiding of NH's dedicated funds continues
The struggle to balance the budget is nothing new, but unfortunately neither is the solution: Once again, the governor and our legislators plan to dip into dedicated funds to balance the books. It's hardly a winning strategy.
Dedicated funds are those fees paid by users, or participants in certain activities, that are "dedicated" because they are designed to fund or cover costs associated with those specific activities. In state government, there are hundreds of such fees, established over time to fund specific purposes.
The Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) is a dedicated fund. Since 2007, New Hampshire citizens have paid a $25 fee on mortgage transactions to fund land and historic conservation. When you pay the fee, you assume the money actually goes to conservation. But it doesn't. Over the last five years, almost two-thirds of LCHIP fees have been "swept" into the state's general fund to help balance the budget (in fiscal years 2012 and 2013, all the monies went to this budget-balancing act). So while fee-payers are told they're supporting a conservation account, they are, in fact, supporting general government operations, making the LCHIP fee, in reality, a mortgage tax.
Gov. Maggie Hassan has proposed fully funding LCHIP in the second year of her budget, yet legislative budget writers are preparing to once again dip into LCHIP's dedicated fund, taking half the money in the second year of the budget for the general fund.
And the governor's budget proposal goes one step further. Buried in House Bill 2 is a provision authorizing the governor - without legislative oversight - to use "an amount of dedicated funds for transfer to the general fund, sufficient to cover the budget shortfall."
This broadly worded provision would allow the governor to use millions of dollars in dedicated user fees - collected for purposes ranging from transportation improvements and environmental protection to energy development and public safety - to fill the hole everyone knows exists in the current year's budget. And all without public hearings, legislative oversight, or any input from Granite Staters who pay these dedicated fees.
We understand that the state is having a difficult time balancing its operating budget, but when citizens pay a fee for one specific purpose, let's use it for that purpose or at least be given the courtesy of being told why it can't be used for that purpose.
If the budget situation demands redirecting those fees, say so, out in the open, through a public process instead of through a provision buried in the depths of a budget bill.
And while LCHIP is just one example among hundreds of dedicated funds, it is one whose impact is felt across the Granite State. If there are no funds to protect our land and community heritage, we need to know that. If New Hampshire residents are getting slapped with a new mortgage tax, we need to know that, too, and hold our elected officials accountable.
Susie Hackler is the executive director of Conservation New Hampshire. Rick Russman is a former Republican state senator from Kingston.

Let's just start calling the second inning "Tiger Time."
For the second straight game, Pryor scored seven runs in the second inning on their way to an 11-1 run-rule home win against district foe Durant Saturday.
Zack Hammock (5-2) threw four innings and allowed just one hit while striking out three Lions. Bradley Nixon got the save.
Pryor's pitchers have now allowed just one hit and zero earned runs in the last 10 innings.
After a quiet first inning, Durant got on the board first off of a Tiger error. Much like Collinsville Thursday, the Lions soon felt the sting of the Pryor bats in the bottom of the inning.
Third baseman Spencer Henson knocked in three RBIs, while Hammock went 2-for-2 with a pair of runs batted in. Hammock also had the Tigers' only extra-base hit of the day, his fourth double of the season.
Lead-off batter Casey Holloway swiped his 17th base of the season.
Rightfielder Nate Wolfe, first baseman Foster McCollough and Nixon all went 1-for-3 with an RBI on the day.
Pryor added one run in the fourth and three in the fifth to earn the requisite 10-run cushion for a run-rule.
Pryor, 12-8 on the season, faced Cascia Hall Monday before hosting Nathan Hale at 5 p.m. today in the first game of a home-and-home district series. The Tigers, 4-3 in district, will travel to Tulsa to conclude the series at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
The away district game with Durant, which was set for last Tuesday, April 2, but was rained out, has been moved to April 26 at 4:30 p.m.
Durant 010 00 — 1 1 2
Pryor 070 13 — 11 8 1
Hammock, Nixon (5th) and Martinez.
WP — Hammock (5-2).
2B: Pryor — Hammock.

Locked in a 1-1 tie with Greenbrier East in the Class Region 3, Section 2 baseball final Friday night at Spartan Ballpark, Princeton was looking for a spark to overcome the Spartans' home field advantage.
It found one from the most unlikely source.
An umpiring controversy fired up the Princeton fans, and its dugout, and the next half-inning the Tigers responded by scoring three runs to break the game open on their way to a 4-2 victory that will send Princeton (16-10) into Region 3 semifinals Monday on the road at Woodrow Wilson.
"It was such a tough section," said Princeton head coach Josh Wilburn. "We overcame a lot, but we found a way in the end. That's what matters.
"It's always tough when you have to go on the road," he added, turning his attention to the regional. "When you go from a three-game series to a one-game shot, anything can happen."
The fireworks began in the bottom of the fifth inning when Greenbrier East (15-10) put runners on first and second on a Tyler Canterbury single and a Talmon Hylton walk with one out.
With Tiger fans complaining about some of the balls and strikes on the Hylton walk, home plate umpire John Parks stopped the game and announced that it would not continue until the administration moved the Princeton fans sitting behind home plate into the outfield.
Greenbrier East officials tried to comply with the order, but after many of the Tiger faithful refused to leave, the umpires finally had a conference and agreed to let the fans stay.
The nearly 10-minute delay, though, shifted the momentum from an excited Spartan dugout into an angry Princeton dugout.
"It just got a little out of hand, and when umpires turn their attention to the fans, it gets a little erratic," said Wilburn. "But it did swing things a little bit. It changed the game. There's no doubting that."
"I wish it wouldn't have happened," agreed Greenbrier East head coach Eric Morgan. "The fans are part of the game at every level. That particular situation actually changed the momentum of the game."
The Tigers responded by getting out of the inning with the game still tied, and then took that energy to the plate.
Bryson Allen led off the top of the sixth with a bloop single to right, and the Tigers put runners on first and second when Greenbrier East pitcher Ryan Windon fielded an Andrew Wilson bunt and turned to throw to second, instead of taking the sure out at first.
The throw sailed into the outfield, putting runners on second and third with nobody out, and Ian Southcott responded with the biggest hit of the game, a 2-RBI triple that split the outfielders in right-center and rolled to the wall. An Addison Wood sacrifice fly brought home the third run of the inning, and Princeton took a 4-1 advantage into the bottom of the sixth.
"When you play small ball, it puts a lot of pressure on teams," said Wilburn. "We were able to get a decent bunt down, we got lucky that the error was made and Ian came up and got a pitch to drive into the outfield."
Greenbrier East went down fighting, scoring a run in the sixth on a Wood balk to pull within two runs at 4-2, and a pair of walks put runners on first and second with nobody out against Bo Williams, who came on to close the game for the Tigers.
With his best hitter, Jacob Frantz, at the plate, Morgan chose not to move the runners and instead let Frantz swing away.
His grounder to second base resulted in a double play, putting East down to its last out.
"He's my best line drive hitter," said Morgan. "He's a senior, he's got 18 home runs in two years and he had a really good batting practice. So I gave him a green light. It was a chance for him to win the ball game, and I wouldn't want it on anybody else's shoulders.
"He's our best chance to break the game open, and if I had to do it again, I'd do it exactly the same. I'm not going to bunt my best hitter. That's just the way I coach."
A walk and a passed ball eventually put two runners in scoring position with two outs, but Harrison Martin struck out looking on a Williams fastball on the inside corner, and Princeton celebrated a 4-2 victory.
"We had opportunities, and we didn't execute," said Morgan. "We battled and played 21 outs, but we just didn't come through in the end."
Allen, Southcott, Nick Janutolo and Josh Perry all had single hits for the Tigers, while Brett Wall was 2-for-3 with an RBI.
Wood went six innings, allowing just two runs on four hits and a pair of walks, before Williams pitched around three walks to record the save.
"We went back and forth with the game plan on who we wanted to use, but Addison has just been more consistent," said Wilburn. "He throws a lot of strikes, he's a very good defensive player and he makes all the plays. We knew we had Bo, who did a great job this year, if we needed him to come in late, and he did exactly what we expected."
Windon took the loss for East, going 6 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on six hits and a pair of walks. He struck out five Tigers.
Martin picked up the Spartans' only RBI with a run-scoring single in the third, and Wall's RBI single to center tied the game in the fifth.
The teams split a doubleheader last Thursday in Princeton, and it took eight days — after rainy weather and testing — to finally play the rubber game in the double-elimination sectional.
