Three candidates, including incumbent Mary Bess Phillips, filed by the Wednesday deadline to run in the March 19 contest. Most village elections are held either in March or June.
The other candidates in Greenport are Julia Robins, a member of the village planning board, and William Swiskey, a former trustee and regular critic of village government.
Swiskey, who previously ran the village utilities department, was appointed to the board in 2008 but lost his seat in a 2009 election.

Something comedic always can be found in characters pretending to be something they're not. Dustin Hoffman did it in "Tootsie" and so did Julie Andrews in "Victor, Victoria" but no one did it better than Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in "Some Like It Hot."
Famed director Billy Wilder with his long-time partner, I.A.L. Diamond, co-wrote the script that is No. 1 on the American Film Institute's list of All-time Favorite Comedies.
Marilyn Monroe is Sugar, the lead singer in an all-girl band. Prohibition is in full force (as are the police trying to enforce it), but that doesn't stop her from keeping a flask strapped to her thigh or the rest of the girls in the band from filling the hot water bottle with anything but H2O.
After witnessing the St. Valentine's Day massacre in Chicago, a saxophonist (Curtis) and a bass player (Lemmon) disguise themselves in wigs, high heels and higher voices to join with Sugar and the girls for a gig in Florida.
The dialogue and comedic timing from beginning to end are priceless. The supporting cast, including gangster paragon George Raft, the pursuing Irish cop, Pat O'Brien, and the adorable, rubber-faced Joe E. Brown, adds to the silliness. If you've ever wondered about the charisma of Marilyn Monroe, you only need to watch Sugar seduce a supposedly uninterested millionaire (also Curtis) with kisses.
"Some Like It Hot" is the epitome of a well-crafted comedy. It's fun and funny and shouldn't be missed.
** For more information on a local screening at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 19, check the Olympic Theatre Arts website (olympic-theatre.tripod.com) and the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce at www.sequimchamber.com/.
Remember "The Horse Whisperer" a few years back? Robert Redford starred in and directed the movie based on the best-selling novel. Well, Buck Brannaman was a technical advisor on the film and now is the star of a documentary based on his life, "Buck."
First-time filmmaker Cindy Meehl assembled a stellar crew, including editor Toby Shimin, to tell Buck's story. The most important quality for a good documentary is either a driving personality or a compelling subject. Actually, "Buck" has both.
Buck Brannaman was a child prodigy, along with his older brother. The boys traveled the country western circuit doing rope tricks, even appearing on the game show "What's My Line?" Behind the glamour and recognition, the reality of the boys' lives included physical and mental abuse from a troubled father. Given his early years, it's truly amazing that Buck evolved into an intuitive and knowledgeable horse trainer and a gentle man.
Buck travels the country most weeks of the year giving workshops and seminars to horse owners on all levels. His training approach is unique and while watching him handle the animals (and their owners) you can't help but be in awe of his patience and ability.
Not every encounter is successful, but every encounter offers a lesson to be learned. With the subtle charm of a laconic cowboy imagined in the Old West, "Buck" demonstrates that good teaching practices can be applied successfully far beyond the paddock.
Ugly bridesmaid dresses are the least of these girls' problems. Lillian (Maya Rudolph) is getting married and asks her childhood friend, Annie (Kristen Wiig) to be her maid of honor. Over the years, their relationship has changed and the bride's new "best" friend is desperate to take over the duties of the maid of honor (planning a shower, choosing dresses, arranging the bachelorette party).
The competition between financially strapped Annie and financially flush Helen (Rose Byrne) escalates to total silliness with the entire bridal party tossed into the fray. Megan, the groom's robust sister (played flawlessly by Melissa McCarthy) emerges as the voice of reason along with a hapless police officer (Chris O'Dowd) who spends a great deal of time not giving Annie tickets.
"Bridesmaids," scripted by Wiig and Annie Mumolo, plays like an extended sketch comedy with improvisation getting in the way. You might find yourself longing for snappy dialogue and crisper editing in this too long, two-hour outing. But there are moments that may trigger pre-wedding angst and they may seem funnier since they're happening to somebody else.

Heat loss a main culprit for high energy billsFeb 23 2011 Heat loss is one of the main culprits of high energy bills, due in part to leaky windows. There are a variety of ways to cut down on heat loss during the winter. A preventative measure to consider is to use heavy-duty clear plastic tape or plastic film on the inside of the window frames. With the addition of a tight seal, you will can help cut down on your energy loss. Curtains and window shades are the most effective and decorative option to stave off heat loss. Keep your curtains and shades closed during the evening and leave them open during the day to let natural light filter in. New windows are another option, as current tax credits may make energy-efficient windows a reality for homeowners. The best way to keep your home insulated is with honeycomb cellular shades. These durable products are available in single or double cell variants and come in a variety of colors to suit your interior design. Related Products

N7 performance after 4.2/4.2.1 update
Yesterday I've got my #3 replacement N7. After reading all the stories about 4.2 I decided to do a little test. Using Antutu benchmark test I compared scores before and after update. Well, after 4.2.1 the score dropped about 800 points, from 13400-ish to 12500-ish. Wonder why? There were no apps installed except the above mentioned.
Re: N7 performance after 4.2/4.2.1 update
I would assume it's because of additional processes used for multiple users, additional Google Now features, etc. I suspect they're going to need to do another optimization of the OS, some kind of butter 2.0.

Re: N7 performance after 4.2/4.2.1 update
Better doesn't necessarily mean faster. If you're going to add on features like Google Now without any noticeable drop in performance, I'd call that making it better.
And of course, updates don't necessarily make things faster nor better. I'm looking at you, Apple Maps. Or at least where you think you are.

The Mexican Empire (Spanish: Imperio Mexicano) was the name of Mexico under the regime established from 1864 to 1867. It was created by the Mexican Congress with the support of Napoleon III of France, who attempted to establish a monarchist ally in the American Continent. A referendum confirmed the coronation of the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, of the House of Habsburg as Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico.
Promoted by the powerful and conservative elite of Mexico's "hacendados", with the support of the French, as well as from the Austrian and Belgian crowns, the intervention attempted to create a monarchical system in Mexico, as it had functioned during the 300 years of the viceroyalty of New Spain and for the short term of the imperial independent reign of Emperor Agustin I of Mexico. Support came mainly from conservative Catholics, which were at the time majority within Mexico, and the main means came from the Mexican nobility, who aimed to promote stability and end the constant cycle of unrest and revolution that had come to a terrible situation with the government of Benito Juarez.
The rule of Emperor Maximiliano was blemished by constant conflict. On his arrival in 1864 with his wife, Empress Carlota of Mexico, daughter of King Léopold I of the Belgians, he found himself in the middle of a political struggle between the Conservatives that backed him and the opposing Liberals, headed by Benito Juárez. The two factions had set up parallel governments; the Conservatives in Mexico City controlling central Mexico and the Liberals in Veracruz. The Conservatives received funding from Europe, especially from Isabella II of Spain and Napoleon III of France; the Liberals found backing from United States Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson, after they had finished their own Civil War in 1865.
The United States government viewed Emperor Maximilian as a French puppet, and did not regard his reign as the will of most Mexicans or see him as the legitimate leader of Mexico. They demanded the withdrawal of French forces, and France acceded.[1] In 1867, Maximilian was executed at the orders of Benito Juárez, in the Cerro de las Campanas near Querétaro.
Maximilian proved to be too liberal for the conservatives, and too conservative for the liberals. He regarded Mexico as his destiny and made many contributions. Before his death, Maximilian adopted the grandsons of the first Mexican emperor, Agustín de Iturbide: Agustín de Iturbide y Green and Salvador de Iturbide y Marzán.

Napoleon III had more ambitious goals in mind than merely the recovery of France's debts. Heavily influenced by his wife the Empress Eugenie, he was bent on reviving the Mexican monarchy. Prior to 1861 any interference in the affairs of Mexico by any of the European powers would have been viewed as a challenge to the United States and no one wanted to provoke a conflict with them. However in 1861 the USA was embroiled in its own bloody conflict, the American Civil War, which made the government in Washington powerless to intervene. Encouraged by the Empress Eugenie, who saw herself as the champion of the Catholic Church in Mexico, Napoleon III took advantage of the situation.
Napoleon III saw the opportunity to make France the great modernizing influence in the Western Hemisphere as well as enabling her to capture the South American markets. To give him further encouragement, there was his half brother, the Duc de Morny, who was the largest single holder of Mexican bonds.

- 1868: On 18 January the body of Maximilian laid to rest among his ancestors in the Imperial Crypt of the Capuchin Church in Vienna.
Today, the Second Mexican Empire is advocated by small far right groups like the Mexican Nationalist Front, whose followers believe the Empire to have been a legitimate attempt to deliver Mexico from the hegemony of the United States. They are reported to gather every year at Querétaro, the place where Maximilian and his generals were executed.[2]
In popular culture[edit]
The 1970 film Two Mules for Sister Sara was set in Mexico during the years of the Second Mexican Empire. The two main characters, played by Clint Eastwood and Shirley MacLaine, aided a Mexican resistance force and ultimately led them to overpower a French garrison.
The 1969 film The Undefeated starring John Wayne and Rock Hudson portrays events during the French Intervention in Mexico and was also loosely based on the escape of Confederate General Sterling Price to Mexico after the American Civil War and his attempt to join with Maximilian's forces.
The 1965 film Major Dundee starring Charlton Heston and Richard Harris featured Union cavalry (supplemented by Galvanized Yankees) crossing into Mexico and fighting French forces towards the end of the American Civil War.
The 1954 film Vera Cruz was also set in Mexico and has an appearance of Maximilian having a target shooting competition with Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster's character at Chapultepec Castle. Maximilian was played by George Macready, who at 54 was twenty years older than the Emperor was in 1866.
The 1939 film Juarez featured Paul Muni as Benito Juárez, Bette Davis as Empress Carlota, and Brian Aherne as Emperor Maximilian. It was based, in part, on Bertita Harding's novel The Phantom Crown (1937).
In the Southern Victory Series of alternative history novels by Harry Turtledove, Maximillian's Empire survives into the 20th century, after the Confederate States of America is victorious over the USA in the American Civil War. The "Empire of Mexico" is an ally of the CSA, and supplies troops to bolster the Confederates in their battles with the USA during an alternate World War II.
In Mexican popular culture, there have been soap operas like "El Carruaje" (1967), plays, films, and historical novels such as Fernando del Paso's Noticias del Imperio (1987). Biographies, memoirs, and novels have been published since the 1860s, and among the most recent have been Prince Michael of Greece's The Empress of Farewells, available in various languages.

In addition to diagnosing type 2 diabetes based on fasting blood glucose levels or a glucose tolerance test, the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) and the American College of Endocrinology (ACE) have now approved the use of A1c as an additional diagnostic criterion for type 2 diabetes.
The AACE decision was released in a position statement entitled "The AACE/ACE Statement on the Use of A1c for the Diagnosis of Diabetes", which can be found online here. The position statement also reviews the limitations of the test, such as certain ethnic groups having marginally elevated values, which do not necessarily indicate diabetes.
The A1c or hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test determines the average level of blood glucose over a 3-month period. How does that work? Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin A, which is the actual carrier of oxygen in the blood. Glucose in the blood also attaches to the protein (or glycates the protein). More glucose in the blood means more of it can to stick to the hemoglobin A protein. Once a hemoglobin molecule is glycated, it stays that way. And since hemoglobin A can survive in the bloodstream for about 3 months, measuring the amount of glycated hemoglobin gives you an average amount of glucose in the blood over about a 3 month period. An A1c of 7.0 indicates that 7 percent of the hemoglobin A molecules are glycated.
"Using A1c will provide doctors and patients a convenient additional tool to diagnose diabetes and thereby identify more patients with it," said Dr. Jeffrey R Garber, president of AACE, in a press release.
The most common criteria currently used to diagnose diabetes are a fasting glucose of 126 or greater, or a two-hour value on a glucose tolerance test (GTT) greater than 200. Both tests require patients to fast for a minimum of eight hours prior to being tested. The GTT is a 2-hour series of measuring glucose levels (multiple blood draws) following the administration of a large amount of glucose.
The AACE Guidelines for the Management of Diabetes use an A1c of 6.5 (meaning 6.5 percent of the hemoglobin A is glycated) or less as a goal for patients once they have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
About the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) AACE is a professional medical organization with more than 6,000 members in the United States and 91 other countries. AACE members are physicians who specialize in endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism. For more information about AACE, visit their web site at http://www.aace.com/.

Filed under: Beauty & Plastic Surgery
Bags under eyes — mild swelling or puffiness under the eyes — are common as you age. With aging, the tissues around your eyes, including some of the muscles supporting your eyelids, weaken. Normal fat that helps support the eyes can then migrate forward into the lower eyelids, causing the lids to appear puffy. Fluid also may accumulate in the space below your eyes, adding to a swollen appearance.
Bags under eyes are usually a cosmetic concern and rarely a sign of a serious underlying medical condition. At-home remedies, such as cold compresses, can help improve the appearance of bags under eyes. For persistent or bothersome under-eye puffiness, cosmetic treatments are available.

George W. Bush substance abuse controversy
There have been various allegations of substance abuse by 43rd United States President George W. Bush. Bush has admitted to abusing alcohol until age 40.
Bush has described his days before his religious conversion in his 40s as his "nomadic" period and "irresponsible youth" and admitted to drinking "too much" in those years. In Fortunate Son: George W. Bush and the Making of an American President by James Hatfield, Bush is quoted as saying that "alcohol began to compete with my energies ... I'd lose focus". Although Bush states that he was not an alcoholic, he has acknowledged that he was "drinking too much".[1]
Nicholas D. Kristof quotes Bush's cousin Elsie Walker as saying, "He was a riot. But afterward, when you're older, that can wear thin", and gives the example of Bush asking a "proper" female friend of his parents at a family cocktail party, "So, what's sex like after 50, anyway?"[1]
In December 1966 (age 20), he was arrested for disorderly conduct after he and some friends had "a few beers" and stole a Christmas wreath from a hotel.[2] The charges were later dropped.
On September 4, 1976 (age 30), Bush was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol near his family's summer home in Kennebunkport, Maine. He admitted his guilt, was fined US$150, and had his driving license in the state suspended for two years, although the White House had claimed 30 days.[3] This incident did not become public knowledge until it was reported by Erin Fehlau of Maine FOX affiliate WPXT-TV in the week before the 2000 election.[4]
The most notorious episode, reported in numerous diverse sources including U.S. News & World Report on November 1, 1999, Secrecy & Privilege: Rise of the Bush Dynasty from Watergate to Iraq by Robert Parry, First Son: George W. Bush and the Bush Family Dynasty by Bill Minutaglio, and W: Revenge of the Bush Dynasty by Elizabeth Mitchell, has 26-year-old Bush visiting his parents in Washington, D.C. over the Christmas vacation in 1972, shortly after the death of his grandfather, and taking his 16-year-old brother Marvin out drinking. On the way home Bush lost control of the car and ran over a waste container, but continued home with the garbage can wedged noisily under the car. When his father, George H. W. Bush, called him on the carpet for not only his own behavior but for exposing his younger brother to risk, George W., still under the influence, appears to have retorted angrily, "I hear you're looking for me. You wanna go mano-a-mano right here?" Before the elder Bush could reply, the situation was defused by brother Jeb, who took the opportunity to surprise his father with the happy news that George W. had been accepted to Harvard Business School.[5]
During the 2000 presidential campaign, Bush said that he gave up drinking after waking up with a hangover after his 40th birthday celebration: "I quit drinking in 1986 and haven't had a drop since then." He ascribed the change in part to a 1985 meeting with Reverend Billy Graham, after which he began serious Bible study, as well as to gentle but persistent pressure from his wife, Laura.[6][7][8] However this claim has been challenged by some due to a 2004 interview Graham did with Brian Williams where he said.
"I've heard others say that, and people have written it, but I cannot say that," he says. "I was with him and I used to teach the Bible at Kennebunkport to the Bush family when he was a younger man, but I never feel that I in any way turned his life around."[9]
Mickey Herskowitz, a sportswriter for the Houston Chronicle who became close friends with the Bush family and was originally contracted to ghost-write Bush's book A Charge to Keep, recalled interviewing Bush about it when he was doing research for the book.
"I remember asking him about the famous meeting at Kennebunkport with the Reverend Billy Graham. And you know what? He couldn't remember a single word that passed between them."[10]
Friends recall that Bush said nothing of his decision, even to Laura, until many weeks later when they realized that he had not had so much as a single beer in the interim.
Bush refused to answer questions about past marijuana use. In a taped conversation with a friend, Bush said "I wouldn't answer the marijuana question. You know why? 'Cause I don't want some little kid doing what I tried."[11]
In Fortunate Son, Bush biographer Hatfield quoted several anonymous sources regarding allegations of Bush's cocaine use. Hatfield reported that Bush had been arrested for cocaine possession in 1972 and that his father pulled strings to have records of the arrest expunged.[12] Bush campaign spokesperson Mindy Tucker called the allegation "absolutely untrue".[13] Bush repeatedly refused to state whether he had ever used cocaine.[14] Bush did say in 1999 that he could truthfully answer "no" to the then-standard FBI background check question of whether he had used any illegal drug in the last seven years. He later stated that he could have passed a background check under a policy that his father had instituted as President in 1989 that extended the background check to 15 years. This would have checked back to 1974, two years after the alleged 1972 arrest.[15]

It's Mrs. Reynolds!
Although she's been spotted on the "Gossip Girl" set, at pal Amber Tamblyn's recent weekend wedding and elsewhere, Blake Lively hit the red carpet at the Chanel Bijoux De Diamant 80th Anniversary bash in New York on Tuesday -- her very first official appearance since she wed Ryan Reynolds Sept. 9.
PHOTOS: Blake and Ryan -- a romantic timeline
The 25-year-old "Gossip Girl" star (and the face of Chanel's Mademoiselle bag) hit the stylish event in a sexy, backless silver gown by Chanel Couture. "The dress is actually made of jewelry," Lively told reporters. Although Lively took pains to hide her wedding and engagement bands in the gown's pockets, she eventually flashed the major bling to photographers.
One thing impossible to conceal? Lively's wedded bliss!
PHOTOS: Blake's hot body evolution
Looking even more radiant than usual, an overjoyed Lively lit up when asked about her life these days. "Life is great!" gushed the star, who wore her own Christian Louboutin shoes for the event, plus a diamond broach. "I was so excited to be driving over here in the car in this beautiful outfit. It's like a Disney princess dress!"
The actress' husband made a much more low-key appearance inside the event. The scruffy "Safe House" actor, 35, arrived separately and couldn't keep his eyes off his bride, checking her out from across the room before meeting up.

Another big milestone for the newlywed actress? "Gossip Girl" begins shooting its very last episode on Wednesday. "Can you believe it?" Lively said. "And they actually don't tell us what happens. But they do reveal who 'Gossip Girl' is -- I will say that much."
