Enter the absorbing world Apple named "iPad Game of the Year"! Osmos is part physics-based eat-'em-up, part ambient, cosmic simulator, and part Darwinistic game of survival. This award-winning PC game has been fully redesigned for the iPad, featuring fluid multitouch controls, lush, flowing visuals, and a chill, ambient electronic soundtrack.
Some describe Osmos as "Asteroids meets a lava-lamp," others as "Katamari meets Lunar Lander," but all have said it's a game you must experience to appreciate. Your goal is to grow by absorbing smaller motes, but to propel yourself you must eject matter behind you, causing you to shrink. From this fundamental balance, Osmos leads the player through ambient playgrounds, deep solar systems, competitive petri dishes, dense mote-fields, and more.
- Multitouch awesomeness: pinch to zoom, tap to eject mass, flick to warp time...
- Two game modes: Odyssey and Arcade. Odyssey mode is a 27-level guided tour through the Osmos Blobiverse, while Arcade mode allows you to play any level type at your choice of difficulty. (72 levels total.)
- Dynamic time-warping: slow down the flow of time to outmaneuver agile opponents; speed it up to raise the challenge
- Eight Distinct level types: Ambient, Antimatter, Solar, Sentient, Impasse, Warped Chaos, Epicycles, and Repulsor.
- Sublime electronic soundtrack by Loscil, Gas/High Skies, Julien Neto, Biosphere, and more.
- Wind your way through simple and complex solar systems, feeling and using the force of Attractors and Repulsors.
- Confront four distinct personalities of intelligent opponents, with goals and abilities similar to your own.
- Procedural content: play random versions of any level in Arcade mode.
- Thirteen lucky achievements to earn, with OpenFeint integration.
- nominated for 4 IGF awards.
- Winner of the D2D Vision award and IGN's Editor's Choice award.
- Winner of "Best in Show" and "Fun/Compelling" at IndieCade.
- Selected for the PAX 10 and more.
"An evolutionary step… What iPad Gaming Should Be All About" -Gizmodo
5/5 stars - Macworld Editor's Choice - "One of the best games we've played so far this year. An utterly serene, yet fiendishly complicated game that deserves a place in every iPad owners collection." -MacWorld
"The best iPad game yet." -IGN
4/4, Must Have - "We are more than overwhelmed by Osmos for iPad… The game design is thoughtful and intuitive, new level structures are flawless, and the visuals are stunning yet simplistic. For half the price of the computer version, every iPad owner should have Osmos on their device. You just won't find another experience quite like it." -Slide To Play
"Osmos HD is THE game for the iPad." -Pocket Lint
"Osmos is a must-play on the iPad… It's the best iPad game on the App Store right now and should be purchased by anyone who picks up the device. Even if it's not yours. Trust me, the owner will thank you." -MTV Multiplayer
Grade "A" - "In a word, remarkable. Osmos is an absolutely essential purchase for anyone with an iPad." -Games Uncovered
"The first proper breakout hit for the iPad. Osmos feels so natural and enjoyable to play, even when the difficulty ramps up and you find yourself repeatedly careening into a giant gaseous enemy." -Wired
5/5 stars - "Osmos is an absolute must that will change the way you think of games, and what you expect from them." -AppAdvice
"Brilliantly clever" -Co Design
"If you're looking for a great, original gaming experience on Apple's magical tablet, Osmos is it." -TUAW
Happy Osmoting!

Little Girl Gets Hand Cut Off, Grafted To Foot
Nine-year-old Ming Li is just like any other little Chinese girl. Except she has to walk to school uphill both ways and still got run over and her hand cut off by a tractor. At the time, her arm was in such poor shape reattaching the hand was an impossibility. Thankfully, quick-thinking doctors were able to graft it to her foot while her arm healed, and successfully reattach it 3-months later. MODERN MEDICAL MAGIC!
Dr Hou Jianxi, spokesman for the hospital in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, said the hand had now been transplanted back on to her arm.
"When she came in, her left hand was completely severed from her body. It was very scary," he told the Zhoukou Evening Post."But Ming Li can now move her wrist again and her left hand is a healthy pink colour proving that the blood is circulating well."
Li will need two more operations over the next year. One to improve her hand functions and some plastic surgery to remove her scars.
But Dr Hou said: "After surgery, and with plenty of physiotherapy, we are confident her left hand will be capable of doing most things.
Amazing, I love a story with a happy ending. Huh? DAMMIT PERV -- GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE GUTTER! Get well soon, Ming. And remember, tractors: not the toys Matchbox would lead you to believe.

Abstract: The purposes of this study are: (1) determine the color of the twenty shades in the Ivoclar's Chromascop shade guide, (2) determine the color representation of the shade guide described as coverage error (CE), and (3) compare this shade guide with the Vita Classical and Bioform shade guides. The spectral data was collected using Beckman model DU reflectance spectrophotometer equipped with an integrating sphere. Commission International de l'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates were calculated using CIE illuminant C and 1931 observer data, then converted to CIE L*a*b* and Munsell notation. Each shade was spectrophotometrically compared to the published colors of 335 human teeth. The minimum CIE L*a*b* color difference was calculated for each tooth and the average of these color differences was defined as the CE. The measured colors of the Chromascop guide had a CIE L* range of 79.67 to 65.61, an a* range of -0.71 to 3.85, and a b* range of 14.58 to 27.69. The average CE of the Chromascop shade guide was 3.38. The Chromascop shade guide has similar colors and a CE compared with the Bioform and Vita Classical shade guides, but with some shades of higher red and yellow components.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Orrin HatchMay 22, 2003
Statement of Chairman Orrin G. Hatch THE DANGERS INHERENT IN ALLOWING MEDIA COVERAGE The next item on our agenda is S. 554, which is cosponsored by Senators Grassley and Schumer, as well as several other Committee Members. I am sure that they have remarks that they would like to make in support of this legislation, but I have some remarks that I would like to make at the outset as well. I oppose this bill for several reasons. First, under its provisions, the decision whether to permit certain types of media coverage of federal court proceedings will be left to individual judges. I think we will find tremendous differences within and between the various federal courts, which will invariably lead to inconsistencies. Any decision about whether to permit these types of media coverage of federal court proceedings should be left to the sound discretion of the Judicial Conference to determine in a uniform policy applicable to all federal courts. # # # Statement of Chairman Orrin Hatch MICHAEL CHERTOFF FOR THE I want to take a moment to talk about the first item on today's agenda, which is the nomination of Michael Chertoff for the Third Circuit. Mr. Chertoff is well known to this committee. He has served as Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division at the United States Department of Justice since June 2001. Since the tragedy of September 11, Mr. Chertoff and his staff have worked tirelessly on behalf of our country prosecuting those whose specific goal is to harm America. But even before he was tapped to head the Criminal Division, Mr. Chertoff had developed a distinguished career during which he dedicated himself not only to fighting crime and corruption, but, just as importantly, to ensuring that the overarching goals of justice and fairness are served. There is no doubt in my mind that Michael Chertoff will be an exemplary Third Circuit judge. # # #
Before the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary ROBERT D. MCCALLUM, JR. TO BE ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Neither of these nominees are newcomers to the Department. Since September 2001, Mr. McCallum has led the Civil Division with great skill during extremely challenging times for our nation. He has shown himself to be a dedicated public servant, and I am certain that the Department will continue to benefit from his leadership upon his confirmation as its third in command. Mr. Keisler has extensive experience with civil litigation in both the public and private sectors. He currently serves as Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General, and enjoys bi-partisan support from past and present high ranking Justice Department officials. I have no doubt that he, too, will continue his distinguished service once confirmed. # # #
PAY INCREASES FOR THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY I am pleased to turn to the next item on the agenda, S. 1023, which addresses the serious matter of the erosion of pay for the federal judiciary. As the list of cosponsors of this bill demonstrates, there is strong bipartisan consensus that the independence and quality of the judiciary is at risk because of the inadequacy of the current salaries of federal judges. I want to extend my thanks to the cosponsors of this legislation, particularly Members of this Committee who have joined me in this effort - Senators Leahy, Kennedy, Feinstein, Durbin, Chambliss, and Cornyn. The bill is also cosponsored by Senators Lott, Alexander, Collins, and Miller. I am confident that this measure will continue to enjoy a broad level of support as we move it to the Senate floor for final passage. In his 2002 Year-End Report, Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist identified the need to increase judicial pay as the most pressing issue facing the judiciary. He observed, AInadequate compensation seriously compromises the judicial independence fostered by life tenure. That low salaries might force judges to return to the private sector rather than stay on the bench risks affecting judicial performance B instead of serving for life, those judges would serve the terms their finances would allow, and they would worry about what awaits them when they return to the private sector.@ His concerns were supported by studies conducted by The American Bar Association and Federal Bar Association, which issued a report on this issue in February 2001. Furthermore, in the Report of the National Commission on the Public Service, issued in January of this year, the Chairman of the Commission, Paul Volker, made this observation: "Judicial salaries are the most egregious example of the failure of federal compensation policies. Federal judicial salaries have lost 24 percent of their purchasing power since 1969, which is arguably inconsistent with the Constitutional provision that judicial salaries may not be reduced by Congress. ... The lag in judicial salaries has gone on too long, and the potential for diminished quality in American jurisprudence is now too large." Accordingly, the Commission made the recommendation that Congress should grant an immediate and significant increase in judicial salaries to ensure a reasonable relationship to other professional opportunities. S. 1023 is a step towards addressing these concerns. It provides for a 16.5 percent increase in the salaries of the justices of the Supreme Court and other federal judges, an average salary increase of about $25,000. It does so without altering the respective provisions of Title 28 of the United States Code, which defines their salary rates. The pay adjustment would be effective with the first pay period beginning on or after January 1, 2004, and would be applied before any annual salary adjustment authorized under the Employment Cost Index approval mechanism provided by 28 U.S.C. § 461. The judicial officers enumerated in this bill to receive the 16.5 percent pay increase are the Chief Justice of the United States, associate justices of the Supreme Court, United States circuit judges, United States district judges, and judges of the United States Court of International Trade. In addition, this legislation would have the effect of increasing salaries of the judges of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, bankruptcy judges and full-time United States magistrate judges whose salaries are related to the rate of pay of United States district judges. # # # |

An AARP study shows that over 80% of U.S. residents over 45 say they want to remain in their own homes even when they need assistance. Another study, by Clarity and the EAR Foundation shows that 26% of older people fear losing independence and 13% fear moving to a nursing home much more than they fear death.
The major factors enabling aging in place according to an AARP report are:
According to data from the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, most of today's retirees don't move away from home. They tend to stay within 20 miles in order to remain close to family and friends.
According to an AARP report most retirees today don't tend to move. Older adults currently represent about 13% of the population. More than half (51.2% ) live in just nine states. Those being California, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and New Jersey
Of the 80% of adults 65 and older living in metropolitan areas, 64% live outside the principal cities of those areas. Older adults are the most geographically stable of any age group, and most who do move remain in the same county. According to the Administration on Aging only 3.7% of older people move, as opposed to 13.1% of those under age 65.
A large part of aging in place, getting the care you want in the place you want it, and other aspects of planning for the future would benefit from a certified nurse life care planner, a certified case manager, and nurse advocate input and intervention. Look for certification with someone in these capacities.
Certification is a level of protection that should be considered in all areas concerning aging. The article below speaks to this with regard to construction and remodeling planning as well.
Mark Miller of www.RetirementRevised.com writes: I always cringe when magazines and cable TV networks run stories on the "best places to retire." The usual approach is to crunch data about a variety of livability factors such as the cost of housing, taxes and the average number of sunny days per year. Follow the data crunchers and you'll soon be packing up to live a long, low-cost and sun-tanned life someplace you've never heard of–with no friends, family or community connections in sight. It's a classic case of "garbage in-garbage out."
The flip side of the coin on "best places" is "aging in place"–a notion often misunderstood as simply "staying put." But author and retirement expert John Nelson urges people considering the "where to live" question to think more holistically. "We tend to think of aging in place as staying where we lived during our working years, but that might be an abysmal place to spend retirement," says Nelson, co-author of What Color is Your Parachute?
"Instead, think of aging in place as finding the residence that will allow you to stay there as long as possible, no matter what happens. Most of us will move at some point in retirement. If we're smart about it, an easy early move can prevent a difficult later move. We can make it proactive and positive, instead of reactive and negative."
An AARP survey found that 89 percent of Americans would like to live in their current homes as long as possible–and the number rose to 95 percent when people over age 75 were asked the question. But that same AARP survey shows that most people aren't doing the proactive thinking Nelson recommends. Just 16 percent said they had made any modifications to their homes that would make it possible to stay as they age.
According to a survey from the Hartford and the MIT AgeLab, half of boomers plan to stay in their current home as they age; however most have not made a plan to make their home more usable as physical abilities change..The Hartford survey revealed that as far as adults ages 46-65, are concerned, 77% have talked to their spouse or partner about future housing needs but only 29% have made a plan, and 96% of those surveyed were aware of changes they could make to their current home to make it more livable as they age, but only 26% have made such changes.
Some of the things you should consider in preparing your home for your retirement years:
Consider transportation options if you can no longer drive. How will you get to shopping areas, the homes of family and friends, the doctor's office, etc.?
Throughout the country, 55 "village" programs are up and running, providing a range of low-cost home, medical, shopping, and social services and activities to senior members. Another 120 are in the works. And there are hundreds of other organized efforts to structure services to older residents of what are called "naturally occurring retirement communities." Their common goal is to help people stay in their homes through their 70s and 80s and, in a growing number of cases, into their 90s. Check out this article: money.usnews.com/money/blogs/the-best-life/2011/01/28/senior-villages-take-root-as-movement-matures
1-800-HomeCare.com has become one of the most respected resources for locating a professional home care provider and is the referral source to use for all of your home care needs. Their network members offer comprehensive home health care services that enable patients to stay in the comfort and security of their homes during times of recuperation, disability, and chronic or terminal illness.
There is a company that offers a wireless, hands-free safety system in case something goes wrong. This system provides real-time remote activity monitoring keeping all parties in touch all day, every day, even when there are great distances between the person(s) being monitored and those doing the monitoring. For more information check www.BeClose.com
There are several companies that provide quality in home care and assistance. Check www.homeinstead.com/Pages/home.aspx and www.villageseniorcare.com/
According to another AARP study most seniors surveyed were unaware of technologies, such as medication reminders, home activity sensors, electronic pillboxes, and fall detection devices that would help them to remain healthy and save as they lived there.
Laurie Orlov, of www.ageinplacetech.com notes that this same survey indicated that they would be willing to use them if they existed. In the near future, Certified Aging in Place Specialists (CAPS) will add an advanced training program that will add assessment and introduction of those needed home technologies.
That suggests too many of us are living in what some experts have dubbed Peter Pan housing - homes designed for people who will never get old. I'm the first to admit that baby boomers actually don't think we will get old. But if you are willing to admit that you might actually age, you should get familiar with universal design. The term refers to a set of architecture and design principals geared to providing suitable living environments for a diverse range of people. For people who are aging, universal design encompasses everything from the height of countertops and electric sockets to usability of faucets, door levers, switches, and appliances. Some of the best ideas include wide, no-elevation entrances, comfort height toilets, lever door handles, safety grab bars and better lighting.
Universal design can be used in remodeling or in new home construction. Jan Cullinane put universal design principles to work when she and her husband built a new home recently in northern Florida. Cullinane, 54, is co-author of The New Retirement: The Ultimate Guide to the Rest of Your Life, Cullinane sought out a builder she could work with to install features like non-skid tile, curb-less showers, levered doorknobs and even an elevator that connects the three floors of the house. "Universal design isn't really for old people–it's really an idea that works for all people," she says. If you're building a new home or considering remodeling, look for builders, architects and designers who've been certified as aging-in-place specialists (CAPS) after taking special training.
You can find state-by-state listings of CAPS specialists at the websites of AARP and the National Association of Homebuilders. Consider whether your community offers the key aging-in-place amenities, such as one-stop shopping locations, shuttle services, age-appropriate fitness and community centers, and even something as basic as sidewalks.
Perhaps the home you have been living in has a lot of stairs, a large yard and a steep hill that are becoming cumbersome. Maybe it's the home that once housed your growing family and you simply do not need the extra space and burden of housekeeping. These are often situations which make a person consider alternative living arrangements. For many, it they are not in need of assisted living, do not want or need the care or supervision of a grown child and want to maintain their independence and privacy as long as possible. Independent Living communities may be an ideal choice.
Among the various levels of senior living, independent living options are the least restrictive, supervised or regulated. Independent Living communities are structured settings which are designed for older adults, usually 55 and over. As the name implies, residents in independent livingsettings are able to fully care for themselves. In some setting, like continuing care communities, independent housing is the first step intransitional programs, while others like subsidized apartments are designed for those with limited incomes.
Continuing Care Retirement CommunityThe continuing care retirement community is a transitional setting that generally offers three distinct levels of care within the same community,independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing care. Most CCRCs are designed for those who are still able to live well independently but wantthe security of knowing their needs will be met as they age and may need more care. Some facilities also offer memory care settings for those withdementia.
The cost of CCRCs may be viewed by some as excessive. Most charge an initial, one-time entrance fee which varies based upon several factors includingaccommodations and care needs. These fees can range from $100,000 to $1 million in some areas. In addition to the entrance fee, most require monthlyservice fees or rent. Again, these are variable and may change as the level of care increases. The advantage: Most facilities have contractualobligations which ensure the resident maintains their residency even when their funds run out.
The Independent Living arm of the CCRC offers the same advantages of living in a private home but may provide some additional amenities, such asassistance with lawn care and other home maintenance chores. There is also comfort in knowing that higher levels of care can be provided within thesame community.
In a study titled, "Study of Independent Living Residents and the Communities in Which They Reside, " published by American SeniorHousing Association, it was found that there are several advantages to residing in a CCRC such as:
Some areas to consider when choosing a CCRC:
Contractual Obligations: There are three basic types of contracts which can be entered into when choosing a CCCRC. Each community may have variations of these and should beconsidered based upon impending care needs. They include:
Traditional vs. Refundable Entrance Fees: While the entrance fee varies based upon the services needed and the accommodations selected, the type of entrance fee is often up to the resident.There are generally two types: Traditional and Refundable. The traditional fee tends to be less expensive, but is non-refundable; whereas therefundable fee is more costly but can be prorated if the resident ever needs to leave the facility or passes away.
Accommodations: In some communities there are several choices for independent living accommodations, from three bedroom cottages and condominiums to one bedroomapartments. This is often a personal preference, but may be dictated by health care needs and by the entrance fees and monthly service fees associatedwith the various options.
Accreditation: Is the community accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities and the Continuing Care Accreditation Commission in 2003(CARF-CCAC). CARF-CCAC is the nation's only accrediting body for Continuing Care Retirement Communities and other retirement communities that meet itsstandards of excellence in three critical areas: governance and administration; financial resources and disclosure; and resident life, health, andwellness. Accreditation is a rigorous voluntary process involving self-evaluation by the organization's staff, residents, and board of directors. Italso entails a meticulous on-site review by trained CARF-CCAC evaluators. The CARF-CCAC's accreditation program is based on the belief thataccreditation promotes and maintains quality and integrity in the retirement community industry
Miscellaneous Fees: Although most of the room and board needs will be covered by the entrance fees and monthly services fees, there will inevitably be more charges thatwill creep up. Be sure to speak with the community administrators about realistic costs that may be associated with the community.
Sustainability: Will the facility be around in 10-15 years? You don't want the hard earned money that was invested into the community to be lost because of pooradministration.
Much like CCRCs, retirement communities offer private, independent living residences. The communities, which are designed for those 55 and over, offervarious types of accommodations. From single-family homes, townhouses, mobile homes, or condos, residents often have the choice of renting or buying.Outside of mortgage or rent, there may be fees for community organizations or elective services like housekeeping, lawn care or clubhouse dues.
The biggest advantage of a retirement community may very well be the socialization and camaraderie provided by being in a community of other retirees.Lasting friendships and support systems help prevent loneliness and depression which often affect aging adults, especially after the death of a spouse.
Often these types of settings are ideal for those who do not feel the need (of have the funds) for a CCRC.
Senior Apartments
On a smaller scale, senior apartments offer many of the same amenities as retirement communities. One or two bedroom apartments with full kitchens andbathroom allow for seniors to remain independent. These 55 and over complexes usually are able offer handicap accessible accommodations for those whomay need to use a wheel chair or walker for mobility.
Often there are on-site activities such as exercise classes, cooking classes, group activities and meals. Some apartment complexes offer visitingphysicians and medical services while others may offer visiting beauticians or other personal services.
The rent for these units is often much less than that of a townhouse or condo in a retirement community and often includes most of the maintenance.This is an ideal setting for someone who is no longer able or wants to care for home maintenance or lawn care. Some of apartments may also offersubsidized rent based upon income.
Subsidized Housing
As the name implies, subsidized housing, offers independent living at reduced rates based upon income levels and disability. These housing options aresubsidized by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and may still require a portion of the rent to be paid privately.
Usually structured like apartments or townhomes, these facilities often have waiting lists and strict criteria for residency. It is important to note,that some areas have extremely long waiting lists and you should plan accordingly if you think this may be an option for you or a loved one.
Regardless of the type of independent living you choose, there are some questions to consider when finding the place to call home:
First Impression
Living Area and Accommodations
Moving In, Contracts, and Finances
Health and Personal Care Services
Social and Recreational
Independent living is the ultimate goal for most aging adults, whether it is in their home they have owned for 50 years or an apartment they have justmoved in to. The choices may be dictated by funds, or by personal choice, but ultimately home is where the heart is.

Native Americans occupied the areas that would become New Jersey and Madison following the retreat of the Wisconsin Glacier for many thousands of years. Settlements of the Lenape were agriculturally-based following matrilineal lines. Occupation changed with the seasons, the variable nature of the climate, and to preserve the fertility of the rich soil. Their fishing and hunting territories were wide-ranging and similarly divided among the three clans of the matrilineal culture in this Eastern Woodland environment. Trade with these native peoples for food and furs was conducted by the Dutch during the period of colonization of New Netherland. Although the European principle of land ownership was not recognized by the Lenape, Dutch West India Company policy required their colonists to purchase land that they settled, but typically, trading relationships were established in this area, rather than Dutch settlements.
During the British colonial period, the earliest settlers of European descent arrived in this portion of the colony of New Jersey. Traditional native trails and pathways were followed as settlement began. Pressures upon the Lenape constantly drove them westward. About 1715 the village of Bottle Hill was established at the crossing of Ridgedale Avenue and Kings Road. Village governance principles followed the British model. The Luke Miller house at 105 Ridgedale Avenue is thought to be the oldest remaining home, having been built around 1730.[30] During British colonial rule, Kings Road was a toll road that assessed fees levied by the government appointed by the English king. Farther south was the Shunpike, a road with a parallel path that was used deliberately by colonists to avoid the fees.[31]
Morris County, created in 1739, was divided into three townships. The portion of the village north of Kings Road was put under the governance of Hanover Township and the portion to the south, under the governance of Morris Township. A meeting house for the Presbyterian Church of South Hanover, as Madison was called at that time, was started in 1747 where the Presbyterian Cemetery still exists between Kings Road and Madison Avenue. With the Treaty of Easton in 1758, the Lenape were required to vacate their lands in colonial New Jersey and to move westward. Later, their leaders allied with the colonists during the American Revolutionary War in hopes of regaining former lands, but that was never realized.
Following the revolution, changes to governing methods in the former colonies occurred eventually as the new nation organized herself. The state of New Jersey formed its government and debated best policies. During the reorganization of Morris County in 1806, Chatham Township was established and included all of present-dey Chatham Township, along with the three existing pre-revolutionary villages (the current municipalities of Chatham, Florham Park, and Madison) as well as all of the lands still governed by the current Chatham Township, and thus the governmental division of Bottle Hill was ended.
In 1834, the name of the settlement was changed to Madison.[32] On December 27, 1889, based on the results of a referendum passed on December 24, 1889, the village seceded from Chatham Township and adopted the newly created, borough form of government (when it first became available), in order to develop a local water supply system for its population of 3,250. Madison annexed additional portions of Chatham Township in 1891, and again each year from 1894–1898, which was followed by an exchange of certain lands in 1899 with Chatham Township.[33]
Influence of early railroad[edit]
Madison's growth accelerated after the Civil War A railroad provided good transportation for farm produce grown at Madison. Later, the railroad made possible the establishment of a flourishing rose growing industry, still commemorated in Madison's nickname, The Rose City.[34] The rail service connected the commerce to the markets of Manhattan. The Morris and Essex Lines became one of America's first commuter railroads, attracting well-to-do families from Manhattan (many of whom already owned large parcels land in the area for farming, hunting, and recreation) and contributing to the development of "Millionaire's Row," which stretched from downtown Madison to downtown Morristown. Greenhouses dotted the countryside. Talented horticulturalists were attracted to the area for employment at the many wealthy estates in the immediate area and to establish related businesses. One of the first grand houses to be built on "Millionaire's Row" was the Ross Estate.[citation needed]
The historic railroad station was donated to the community by the Dodges. The tracks were elevated through the downtown and no established roadways were hindered by crossing delays. The station included baggage and cargo facilities readily accessible by wagons as well as the stationmaster offices, a newsstand, and waiting facilities featuring extensive banks of high-backed wooden seating. Weeping Mulberry trees were planted among the landscaping and in natural areas in the parking area.
The rose industry and the large estates in the area attracted working-class people of all kinds. As a result, Madison developed a diverse population very early, both in terms of socioeconomic status and ethnic background. The original settlers were of British stock; French settlers came after the American Revolution; African Americans have been members of the community from early in the nineteenth century; Irish came in the mid-nineteenth century; and then Germans and Italians arrived around the turn of the twentieth century. To this day there is a substantial population of Italian descent in Madison. Today Madison also remains a diverse community, with many of the more recent newcomers arriving from Central America, South America, and Asia. Madison is a railroad suburb of New York City.
Local government[edit]
Madison is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The government consists of a mayor and a borough Council, comprising six members, with all positions elected at large. A mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The borough council consists of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year.[8]
As of 2013[update], the mayor of Madison is Robert H. Conley (D, term ends December 31, 2015). Members of the borough council are President Carmela Vitale (D, 2014), Jeannie Tsukamoto (R, 2013), Robert G. Catalanello (R, 2013), Robert Landrigan (R, 2014), Astri J. Baillie (D, 2015), and Benjamin Wolkowitz (D, 2015).[35][36]

Morris County is governed by a seven-member Board of Chosen Freeholders, who are elected at-large to three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with two or three seats coming up for election each year.[50] As of 2011, Morris County's Freeholders are Freeholder Director William J. Chegwidden (Wharton),[51] Deputy Freeholder Director Douglas R. Cabana (Boonton Township),[52] Gene F. Feyl (Denville),[53] Ann F. Grassi (Parsippany-Troy Hills),[54] Thomas J.

Higher education[edit]
Seton Hall College was established in Madison in 1856 and relocated to its current location in South Orange, New Jersey in the late nineteenth century.[74]
In 1867, Drew University was founded in 1867 and continues to operate in Madison, on a wooded campus near downtown that previously was a private residence.[75]
A portion of Fairleigh Dickinson University's College at Florham is located in Madison on the former Vanderbilt estate.[76]
St Elizabeth's College is located just outside of the boundary, in Florham Park.
New Jersey Transit's Madison station provides commuter service on the Morristown Line, with trains heading to Hoboken Terminal, and to Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan via the Kearny Connection. NJ Transit provides local bus service on the MCM3 (now 873) and 966 routes.[77] A low-cost campus/downtown shuttle bus operates during afternoon and evening hours.[78]
There is also a shuttle bus running along Madison Avenue. [79]
Madison's downtown is supported by the Madison Downtown Development Commission and a downtown manager. Many historical buildings remain in the community. The Madison Civic Commercial Historic District, which includes much of "downtown" as well as the borough hall and the train station, is listed on the State Register of Historic Places. The borough hall and the train station were donated to the community by Geraldine R. Dodge and Marcellus Hartley Dodge, Sr. as a memorial to their son who died in an automobile crash shortly after his graduation from Princeton University. Commercial vacancy rates are low. In recent years Madison has become noted for the number and quality of its restaurants.
Giralda Farms, a planned office development, occupies 175 acres (0.71 km2) of the former Geraldine R. Dodge estate in Madison (she and her husband had separate estates). The site includes the corporate headquarters of the Atlantic Mutual Insurance Company (until its liquidation in 2011), Maersk Lines[80] and Quest Diagnostics.[81] Covering 181 acres (73 ha), the site requires that all parking be underground and that 85% of the land be undeveloped.[82]

Kentucky Residents Celebrate Inauguration
By Katie Brandenburg and The Daily News Bowling Green and
As President Barack Obama took the oath of office Monday for the second time, Bowling Green residents were watching in Kentucky and in Washington, D.C. Children at Parker-Bennett Community Center waved star-shaped noise makers, applauded and snapped pictures on their phones as Obama gave his second inaugural address. The timing of the inauguration made it especially significant for Sierra McKinney, recreation leader at the community center. It took place on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Jail for Bridgwater curry house conman
8:25am Tuesday 4th September 2012 in News
A FRAUDSTER who used a false name to secure thousands of pounds in credit as his curry shop went bankrupt has been jailed.
Farid Hassan, who ran the Bangla Indian restaurant in Bridgwater, also made £250,000 by selling six properties to his wife and ex-wife to stop creditors getting hold of them as bankruptcy loomed, a court has heard.
Hassan, 48, was jailed for three years last week after being convicted of six counts of fraud and six counts of fraudulently selling different properties at an earlier trial.
Sentencing Hassan, now of Bradford-on-Avon, Judge Graham Hume Jones said: "You lied, and lied and lied. You went so far as to accuse others of behaving improperly.
"You have accepted full responsibility but it's a pity you didn't before you went to the expense of a trial. I accept you are remorseful. If you are genuinely remorseful that cancels out the aggravating features."
The court heard how the total loss to businesses and the taxpayer was between £340,000 and £370,000.
Taunton Crown Court was told how Hassan sometimes used the name Ali Almas when obtaining credit fraudulently.
