As Florida's texting and driving ban became effective Tuesday, Florida drivers were confused about what the law meant.
The law made texting while driving a secondary offense, meaning you must first be pulled over for something else.
"It's a secondary offense, so if you have to have a primary offense [such as] not wearing a seat belt or [your] tail light is out, I am pulling you for two reasons," said Lt. Jay Rodriguez, with the Fort Myers Police Department.
The law caused some confusion among drivers who said the law was too vague. So let's clear some things up.
What happens if I get caught?
The first infraction imposes a fine of $30 and is a non-moving violation. The second infraction within five years is a fine of $60 and a moving violation of 3 points.
So what can get me pulled over?
Anything that is considered breaking the law, such as swerving, driving too slow, running a red light, running a stop sign, ect.
How will an officer know that I was texting?
Law enforcement officers will look for signs, such as:
Note: When you are pulled over, officers cannot ask to look at your phone. Investigators can only access your records in specific circumstances.
Will law enforcement officers have to obey the law too?
Law enforcement officers are slightly protected by this new law--but they're only supposed to use a computer or cell phone if responding to a call.
"During the course of their duties, law enforcement medical personnel and fire fighters may have to use these hand held devices," said Bil Joseph, with the Lee County Sheriff's Office.
What can I do with my phone while in my vehicle?
The law still allows drivers to use their phones for music, navigation, or for calls. Texting while stopped at a red light is considered acceptable under this law.

Each hat is either red or blue at random (the host tosses a coin for each team-member to decide which colour of hat to give them). The players can see each others' hats, but no-one can see their own hat.
The paradoxes of the philosopher Zeno, born approximately 490 BC in southern Italy, have puzzled mathematicians, scientists and philosophers for millennia. Although none of his work survives today, over 40 paradoxes are attributed to him which appeared in a book he wrote as a defense of the philosophies of his teacher Parmenides.
The harmonic series is far less widely known than the arithmetic and geometric series.

'Of the myriad strategems I employ to avoid useful work, the one I most enjoy is to envision how scientists of earlier eras would have made use of modern computers.' John L.

NOTE: Video contains violent content and may be difficult to watch.
A family wants answers after a disturbing incident between a Champlin Park High School teacher and a 14-year-old student.
The above video shows how the teacher twists the Somali student's limbs, puts him in a head lock and presses his face against a desk.
The incident began after a fight between 14-year-old Camaar Abdul-Kadir and the student in the video that was originally captured and uploaded to YouTube.Camaar's mother told FOX 9 News that her son was bullied by the student, and then assaulted by the teacher, and was acting in self-defense.
The school district, on the other hand, says the teacher was protecting himself and his students. Anoka-Hennepin school district spokeswoman Mary Olson says the teacher's goal was clear: To protect the other students and to protect himself.
Camaar's family identified the teacher as Mr. Joe Hall. Somali community leaders and the student's family plan on holding a press conference at Champlin Park High School on Tuesday to demand an open and independent investigation.

Dress code crackdowns in Pinellas County mean cheerleaders can no longer wear their uniforms to classes on game day.
It's part of a broader tightening of standards -- keeping shoulders covered and skirts lower to the knees.
At Clearwater High School, Principal Keith Mastorides says they started a uniform-style dress code two years ago, and it's done wonders for morale and school pride.
We caught up with some seniors who said they've earned the right to sport their colors and wear their uniforms, but understand how they could be in violation of the county's dress code.
"On Fridays, it's like, game day, everybody wears their outfits, and we're pumped," said Alexis Fitzgerald, a senior at Clearwater High. "But now we don't get to wear, but it's still fun after school we get to show our spirit, we just wish we could during school."
"It's part of being a cheerleader, like you want to show it off," said Chelsey Chappellow, who is also a senior at Clearwater High. "You want to tell the school you're a varsity cheerleader, but when you don't have the uniforms, it's not as obvious."
"Maybe those uniforms are appropriate for that activity," said Melanie Marquez Parra, with Pinellas County Schools. "But that doesn't mean that they'll fit in with the students' dress code for that academic school day."
It turns out the uniform rules are anything but uniform. We checked around, and in Hillsborough County, they do not allow wearing uniforms from any sport to school, unless there's permission from a special event.
In Polk County, there is no district-wide policy. Each school decides its own rules.
"It's gonna depend on each school's uniform, but some areas of the dress code, to consider when you're looking at uniforms for other activities," said Marquez Parra. "Think about, wrestling, swimming, track, there's gonna be some uniforms that maybe don't quite fit in with dress code standards, so a dress code is going to require shorts of skirts to be of a certain length or maybe that shoulders are covered."
Principal Mastorides said in the last two years, since mandating their dress code early, the number of student incidents has dropped by nearly 50 percent.
"Well, I do think for school the skirts would be a little bit short and the tank tops with the shoulders showing, it's a little bit inappropriate, but if we have our long sleeve white shirts under it, it's not too bad," said Chappellow.
Some schools are actually finding creative ways for team members to sport their colors by coming-up with an appropriate outfit or special t-shirt that all the athletes can wear.
The cheerleaders also said their safety is built in to the design of their uniforms. If the tops were not sleeveless or the skirts were down to their knees, it would surely cause accidents on the field.
"With being a flyer, if I were to have a longer skirt, say to my knees, it could catch on someone's arms, it could hurt their wrists, it could hurt my legs," Chappellow said.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — To the editor:
Are you as amazed as I am by Youtube.com?
You can type in just about anything of interest and get video. Recently, I had a hankering to hear an old favorite singer of mine, Tennessee Ernie Ford. When I typed in his name, not only did I pull up videos of him (which I haven't seen in decades), I found a terrific one hosted by Dinah Shore, on her television show. She introduced Tennessee and he sang his great hit "16 Tons."
"You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go,
I owe my soul to the company store."
It is a sad song about a long and miserable time in our country's history — a time before Teddy Roose-velt stood up to the robber barons of Wall Street and before his cousin Franklin pulled America out of the Depression with the "New Deal."
A century of such progressive and liberal legislation erased memories of "the company store" and the rigged system that saw to it that working people lived their lives in debt and lifelong insecurity. And so the era of "16 Tons" gave way to the flourishing of the biggest middle class in the world.
Today, we do not even remember what a "company store" was. It was where working folks shopped for the basics because they were paid not in cash, but in some sort of voucher only redeemable at "the company store."
The company could also force working people to live in company housing — little better than squalid slums, and the rent was automatically deducted from their pay. That way, no one could save for the future, no matter how hard they worked and no matter how many tons they loaded. It was a harsh system and it was rigged to benefit the few at the expense of the many. And so, back then, there was only a small — if any — middle class.
With a tip of the hat to FDR, you might call that era the "Old Deal." No one has shown any nostalgia for the "Old Deal" — until recently.
Now the middle class is under assault — economic and political — by corporations under the banner of the Supreme Court decision, "Citizens United." This decision overturned a century of anti-corruption legislation at the state and federal level. Since then, hundreds of millions of dollars have poured into elections at every level of government in order to elect politicians who want to eviscerate the New Deal and re-instate the "Old Deal."
The coming months will see a prolonged congressional battle of "Old Deal" proponents of austerity for the many and bailouts for the few. They will want to shred the Roosevelt legacy while guaranteeing tax cuts for the few — if the few pay anything at all.
All this is facilitated by the Supreme Court decision that found that money equals free speech and that corporations are "people."
Really? Corporate personhood? I admit if has been a long time since I last checked Gray's Anatomy, but I doubt if corporations have been added to the newer editions!
We do not have to lose the gains of a century. We do not have to endure the total corruption of our democracy by big money.
We can forbid the usurpation of our human rights in the Constitution by artificial entities called corporations. We can regulate political contributions from any source and require the full disclosure of those contributions to the public.
Rick Nolan, a congressman from Minnesota, introduced an amendment to the Constitution to overturn "Citizens United" earlier this week to do just that. We can and must work for the adoption of this constitutional amendment! Or, we can allow "16 Tons" to become an anthem of our times.
Do we want to return to the "Old Deal"? Is it time to ask ourselves the old question Tennessee Ernie Ford asked on the Dinah Shore Show?
Do we want to "Owe our soul ... to the corporate store?"
Granite Street, Rockport

US-approved Syrian opposition group forms governing body
After US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for a "more trustworthy" Syrian opposition last week, New TV reported that a leader in the Free Syrian Army announced that the Free Army is reorganizing its ranks to gain the trust of the international community, adding that his leadership has started to settle inside Syria. The Syrian opposition also announced during its ongoing meetings in Doha that it accepted a proposal to establish a transitional government headed by opposition member Riyad Saif. The initiative, headed by Saif, stipulates creating a unified leadership dubbed the Syrian National Initiative, from which a government in exile will be formed.
World groups organize global day of action in support of Myanmar's Rohingyas; Suu Kyi under fire for ignoring violence
Myanmar's Rohingyas are fleeing Rakhine State after a new wave of attacks from the Buddhist majority. Press TV reported that Rohingya groups around the world held a global day of action for the Rohingyas on November 8. International rights groups, such as Human Rights Watch, have also criticized Burmese activist Aung San Suu Kyi for her silence on the issue. The president of Arakan Rohingya National Organization, Noor al-Islam, added in an interview during a rally in London that if the persecuted had been Rakhine's Buddhists, Suu Kyi would have spoken out. Additionally, the aid group Doctors Without Borders says its workers have been threatened and stopped from reaching violence-hit areas in Myanmar. The group says thousands are left without medical care in the western Rakhine State as a result, adding that many of the victims are extremely vulnerable.
Tens of Thousands Demand Nobel Peace Prize for Malala Yousafzai
BBC Arabic reported that over 60 thousand people signed a petition calling for Pakistani rights activist Malala Yousafzai to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The 15-year-old girl is recovering in The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, Britain, after suffering an armed attack by the Taliban movement in Pakistan. Malala and her campaign for education gained notoriety around the world after she wrote her memoirs in the Urdu section of the BBC about life under the teachings of the extremist Taliban movement that rejects girls' right to an education.
Oil Giant Shell Undercuts Iran Sanctions with $1.4B Grain Barter
Dubai TV reported that the Royal Dutch Shell Company aims to circumvent international sanctions imposed on Iran by concluding a swap through which it would pay its USD 1.4 billion debt to the Iranian national oil company with a grain barter deal through the American agribusiness Cargill. Through the deal, Shell would deliver grain to Iran worth USD 1.4 billion, or what amounts to nearly 80 percent of Iran's yearly grain imports. Sources also revealed that the Royal Dutch Shell company, Tehran's second largest customer, imports 100,000 barrels of Iranian oil per day, and continued to purchase oil until the sanctions went into effect on July 1st.

The Nobel Laureate will continue her tour around the country to win support for other candidates from her party. If the politics of Burma has become easier, it doesn't matter to the hundreds of thousands of Burmese who fled the country's military government. At least 140,000 live in Thailand. And for most of them, life is brutal. NHK has the story of one young refugee.
NHK World NEWSLINE
Airdate: January 30, 2012
Mae Sot marks the border between Myanmar and Thailand. The far side is Myanmar. Every day people cross from Myanmar, often illegally, to look for work. They total around 20,000 a year. They expect a better life, but often they find reality is tough. This garbage dump is close to the river. I'm standing at a garbage mountain in the town on the Thai border with Myanmar. The scene is really terrible. Here people from Myanmar make a living by collecting garbage. The mountain of trash is dotted with people. They are searching for scraps of steel and plastic to sell. Thirteen-year-old Zimintu came here with his family five years ago. He earns about a dollar a day, too little to feed his family of four. Picking vegetables out of the garbage is sometimes the only way to get enough to eat.
My father is sick, so I have no choice but to do this.
A local NGO has built a school near the garbage site to help the children. About 150 students attend the school. They all live at the dorm, but they get medical check-ups and free meals through the school. Zimintu's younger brother studied at the school two years ago. After Zimintu finishes his day collecting garbage, he goes to the school to pick up his brother. He wishes he was also playing with his friends. But he has to support his family.
Put the sweets in your bag. Let's go home.
He hopes that one day, he too will go to school and become a doctor.
Working at the dump site is no fun at all. It's just that there's no alternative job. I want to return to my hometown someday.
Zimintu endures a tough job to support his family, but that doesn't stop him from dreaming that one day things will get better. Khemmapat Rojwanichkun, NHK World, Northern Thailand.
(LinkAsia News - November 4, 2011) YUL KWON, LinkAsia host: After decades of house arrest, Myanmar's pro-democracy icon, Aung San Suu Kyi, says she senses a change in attitude in the country's year- old government. Lately, it's been more willing to engage with the opposition movement that she leads. Japanese broadcaster NHK World has this exclusive interview with the Nobel Peace Prize Winner.

NHK World NEWSLINE Transcript
10/28/11 - 9PM Broadcast
AUNG SAN SUU KYI: I think the president is very desirous of positive change.
REPORTER: Myanmar held its first general election in 20 years last year. However, Aung San Suu Kyi was effectively barred from participating in the ballot. More than 80% of the rule-makers elected turn out to be supporters of the former military government.
The military maintains a strong influence over the country. However, in August, President Thein Sein held his first meeting with Aung San Suu Kyi in an upfront effort to improve ties with the pro-democracy movement.
SUU KYI: The force to its changes... I think we've got to make it strong. This is our responsibility; this is our duty to try to make it as strong as possible. We prefer to emphasize what is positive, and to help the process along. We also are cautious about saying that change has taken place.
REPORTER: Then, earlier this month, the government granted amnesty to more than 6,300 prisoners, including political detainees, who were accused of criticizing the former military regime.
The United States has suggested that it might review its economic sanctions on Myanmar, if the government allows more political participation by opposition parties and moves closer towards democracy. Even Aung San Suu Kyi says she would be willing to take part in the party's political framework, if the government asks her, but only with one condition.
SUU KYI: Such matters are very much things that have to be decided with the rest of the party. It's not something that I decide for myself. I think you have to be committed to the process of dialogue, and even sometimes when it is perhaps not everything that you might wish for, you still have to continue and try to make it more meaningful and more substantial.
REPORTER: Aung San Suu Kyi says she sees the change in the government's attitude as the golden opportunity to advance democracy in the country. Jun Kobayashi, NHK World, Yang Gong.

Third-year law students Latoya Brown and Alejandro Gutierrez will publish articles they originally prepared for a seminar in Comparative Law, in two upcoming national law publications.
Brown's article, "The Regulation of US Money Market Funds: Lessons from Europe," will appear in the spring edition of Brigham Young University's International Law and Management Review. Gutierrez's article, "The Pitfalls of At-Will and Just Cause Employment: A Comparative Analysis of Employment Law in the United States and Colombia," will be published in Volume 19 of the ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law.
"It is a great achievement to get published, especially as a student," said Brown. "I am grateful to have the support of professors who encourage us to push the creative envelope and think outside the box."


text: Cassini finds oxygen atmosphere on Saturn's moon Rhea Science 26 November 10 by Duncan Geere Tweet CC-licensed: NASA/JPL-Caltech For the first time, a NASA probe has captured direct evidence of an oxygen atmosphere on a world other than Earth. The Cassini-Huygens mission, which is currently whizzing past Saturn, has found that the ringed planet's moon Rhea has an extremely thin atmosphere of oxygen and carbon dioxide.It's thought that the atmosphere is sustained not by life, as on Earth, but by high energy particles bombarding the icy surface of the moon and kicking up particles. The density of oxygen is about 5 trillion times less dense than Earth's atmosphere, but the discovery is significant nonetheless, because if it's happening on Rhea, then it's likely to be happening elsewhere."The new results suggest that active, complex chemistry involving oxygen may be quite common throughout the solar system and even our universe," said Dr Ben Teolis, a researcher on the Cassini team and lead author of the research paper that described the results. "Such chemistry could be a pre-requisite for life."Bad news for alien hunters, though. Teolis says: "All evidence from Cassini indicates Rhea is too cold and devoid of the liquid water necessary for life as we know it." However, another researcher, Geraint Jones, said: "The discovery of this tenuous atmosphere provides key information on how radiation can drive chemistry on icy surfaces throughout the universe."Cassini's plasma spectrometer, which was designed and built at UCL's Mullard Space Science Lab, detected oxygen concentrations in Rhea's atmosphere that peak at 50 billion molecules of oxygen per cubic metre, and carbon dioxide peaks of 20 billion molecules per cubic metre.That carbon is thought to orginate from either "dry ice" trapped from the nebula before the sun formed, or irradiation processes operating on organic molcules trapped in Rhea's water ice. It could also be deposited by carbon-rich meteors. Cassini will continue its mission to survey Saturn until 2017, when it'll pass the top of gas giant's cloud at an altitude of just 3,000 km. After a series of orbits, an encounter with another of Saturn's moons, Titan, will end its life by sending it spinning into Saturn's atmosphere. Edited by Olivia Solon Comments Below is information on Cassini from Casey Kazan at dailygalaxy. I believe we have different sources here.:After completing its mission in June 2008, the mission was renamed Cassini Equinox.When it ended in September 2010, the spacecraft was renamed a second time to Cassini Solstice. The mission's extension, which goes through September 2017, is named for the Saturnian summer solstice occurring in May 2017. The northern summer solstice marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere. Since Cassini arrived at Saturn just after the planet's northern winter solstice, the extension will allow for the first study of a complete seasonal period.http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2010/11/-nasa-cassini-fly-by-discovers-an-oxygen-atmosphere-on-saturns-moon-rhea.html#more serat jagat Nov 28th 2010 WOW !

The only thing missing on My screen is the number of new posts since last visit. But when I click on that feature it still takes me to all the new posts since last visit. I am sure it will all be corrected in the near future. I can live with these small glitches as to comparing it to the suffrage of all if the whole board shut down!!!.
That brings to mind a dead (ATIS).

I live here in Utah with my wonderful husband and cat. I love to fly fish, hike and camp and have recently gotten into running. I'm always up for a last minute adventure with my friends and love to explore new places!
I've been cooking since I was a kid, but really started to get interested in it over the last few years. I'm best at desserts and baking, but like to make just about anything. I'm not a picky eater and will try anything once. I'm always making new recipes so it's pretty rare if I make anything twice. I guess you could say I'm unpredictable and spontaneous with just about everything I do!
I'm famous for my desserts (try my cookie recipes, I swear they are awesome!) I love to try new things so I'm always trying different recipes to find a new favorite food. I like to try new restaurants as well, especially local one-of-a-kind type places.

If you have bipolar disorder, someone has said at least one of these things to you. If you know someone who has this illness, you may be guilty of saying one or more of them. Hearing them can be painful, infuriating, depressing - even destructive - to your bipolar family member, friend, co-worker or acquaintance. Saying them, I assure you, is NOT going to be helpful.
- "You're just overreacting again." Well yes, I am. Overreacting is a symptom of bipolar disorder. Hearing harsh words that would be painful to anyone, I may well respond with extreme anger or dark depression. Even a sad movie can make a person with bipolar disorder overreact, and so can a lot of other things. But I'm not "just" overreacting, and it's not as if I can always take a deep breath and stop it. My illness can make that very difficult.
Here's an example. When my boyfriend, who had already seen the movie, took me to see E.T., I started crying almost at the beginning. He leaned over and whispered to me, "I knew you were going to cry, but I didn't think it would be at the opening credits!" Trying to keep my voice down but feeling destroyed already, I replied, "He's so little! And he's lost!" (In case you haven't seen the movie, I highly recommend it. See E.T - The Extraterrestrial for information, including the trailer, and if you're interested in purchasing the video or DVD, you can compare prices here.)
- "Anything that doesn't kill you makes you stronger." That's always garbage, no matter what you're talking about. Yes, it's true that some people who learn from bitter experiences can come out of it stronger. BUT - would you want to hear that while your child was seriously ill, or just after being fired? Would you say it to a mother with ten starving children in a country torn by war? Then why are you saying it to someone with an illness where 20% of patients attempt suicide? Bipolar disorder can kill. Don't forget that.
- "Everybody has mood swings sometimes." That's true. For one thing, 8% of American adults and 4% of adolescents have Major Depressive Disorder, having periods of euthymia and depression. And of course, even among those who do not have a diagnosable disorder that has mood swings, people have changes in mood. These are usually the result of changes in health or circumstances.
But only people with bipolar disorder, cyclothymia, schizoaffective disorder and related severe mental illnesses have repeated and severe mood swings between mania or hypomania and depression.
- "You are psycho." Or it might be "you are nuts," or crazy, cuckoo, deranged, bonkers, or any one of a dozen negative words that range from meaning as little as "silly (cuckoo)" to as bad as "completely unable to think clearly or behave properly (deranged)." Other phrases are things like "you're out of your head," or "you're off your rocker."
How much saying something like this is going to be a problem mostly depends on how it's said. I could tell a friend that I'm going to dig up a new 8x16 foot garden bed in one day. If my friend says, "Are you crazy?" it only means she thinks I've decided to do something I can't possibly complete in a single day (and she'd be right). But if I'm in an agitated depression and she says, "You're crazy!", the negativity is almost palpable.
- "Isn't that what serial killers have?" Actually, no, it isn't. A serial killer is far more likely to have Antisocial Personality Disorder and/or be psychopathic. (There are differences of opinion in the psychiatric community about these terms.) Bipolar disorder has been found not to be a common trait among people who fit the criteria for serial killers.
- "Everyone is a little bipolar sometimes." See "Everyone has mood swings sometimes" above.
- "I wish I was manic so I could get things done!" If you think that's all there is to mania, you are seriously uneducated, and you need to read Symptoms of Mania right away. The immediate retort that comes to my mind for this one is, "I wish you were manic, too, so you could finally understand what I'm going through!"
- "You're acting like a maniac!" Related to "You are psycho" above, this one is extremely offensive. Try reading Mania, Manic, Maniac to set yourself straight.
- "But you seem so normal!" Yes, maybe I do. Maybe I'm between, or maybe I'm good at hiding what I'm feeling. Or it might be that I'm in a hypomanic episode and only the good things about it are visible at the moment (see What Is Hypomania?). But suppose you have cancer or diabetes or Crohn's disease. How would you feel if I said, "You can't be sick, you look so normal!" I'm willing to wager than you'd be angry, too.
- "It must be your time of the month." Want to make a bipolar woman incensed? Say this to her. Better yet, don't. While it's true that monthly hormonal changes may affect mood, passing it off as being nothing more than PMS is just - wrong. Get your facts straight.

PHOENIX (AP) -- Ai Miyazato birdied three straight holes on the back nine and finished with a 6-under 66 on Saturday for a share of the third-round lead with Yani Tseng in the LPGA Founders Cup.
Miyazato, the ninth-ranked Japanese player who has seven LPGA Tour victories, birdied Nos. 14-16 and closed with two pars for a bogey-free round at Wildfire Golf Club.
Tseng had a chance to take the outright lead on the par-4 18th after hitting to 10 feet out of the right fairway bunker, but her birdie putt rolled just past the left edge. The top-ranked Taiwanese star settled for a 67 to match Miyazato at 14 under.
Second-ranked Na Yeon Choi was a stroke back after a 67.

Wisconsin potato growers are sending a shipment of spuds to the East Coast.
The Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association will send two semi-trucks, carrying a total of 80,000 pounds of potatoes to a warehouse called City Harvest in Long Island City, NY.
According to a press release, each truck holds 20 pallets of potatoes that weigh about 2,000 lbs. each. Both trucks carry a market value of $40,000.
The potato growers say the food will be given to people still without power and need help. John Hein of Sowinski Farms in Rhinelander thought of the donation idea. He says he hopes these potatoes provide several meals to those who are working hard to return to "normalcy."
The trucks will leave our area on Monday, November 26th and are expected to arrive in New York on the 28th.

A cat that ran away during Hurricane Ike evacuation in the Galveston area has turned up more than a year later in a neighborhood not far from home.
Juliet Pennay says Simon was living with her mother in Webster, while Pennay was in Paris studying French, but was being moved to at uncle's place as Ike approached.
The cat bolted.
Pennay returned home for Christmas 2009 and took walks, thinking she might see her long-lost cat. Pennay says she was about to give up when she noticed something furry and gray near a garage.
Pennay says her "heart just stopped" when she recognized her kitty.
The animal is back with an uncle. Pennay, who has returned to France, does not know where Simon has been since Ike came ashore in September 2008.

---- — JAY — The "Adirondack Harper" illuminates winter's cold and darkness with "All on a Winter's Night," a concert Saturday evening at J.E.M.S.
"It's a time to have light, friends and family around," said Martha Gallagher. "That's really the core of the show. The music is celebrating Christmas, New Year, family and friends. There's a lot of nice music."
The concert is not focused solely on Christmas music.
"I incorporate some of that because I love it. I don't build a whole show around the holiday itself."
Inside the Amos and Julia Ward Theatre, concert-goers will hear primarily original compositions.
The concert's theme is also the name of a song that Gallagher wrote at her Keene residence.
"I was probably sitting in my house as it started to get dusk. There's just a change. I remember being cold. There's a real beauty to our time of year, winter in Northeast when the sun sets. The sun has been out. It's sort of warm. Once that goes, the temperature drops. There all are these real interesting colors," she said.
Sunset rose and forest purple.
"And (there's) this real magical element to it. In my mind, I just want to stand there, though I may be really cold because it's so fascinating. This song is like a poem and describes this very beautiful and cold element. It was a challenge to make the music match."
A vocalist from way back via choir, rock and blues bands, Gallagher finds the harp a natural to accompany singing, though she didn't feel much like it last year.
"Since all the flooding from Irene, our house was still in ruins. I wasn't feeling really jolly. I love Christmastime," she said.
"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" is a holiday song she never much liked. But post-Tropical Storm Irene …
"That one really spoke to me," Gallagher said. "The arrangement I came up with is pretty melancholy. I struck a note. Since then, I like to think it has grown from being melancholy to being real quiet and peaceful."
"For the Love of a Baby" is the title track for Gallagher's Christmas CD.
"It's based on this wonderful short story by Ruth Sawyer of how the robin got its red breast. The story is when Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus were going into Egypt to escape Herod, they met a band of gypsies. At first, the gypsies don't want them to stay because they have the law after them. They are allowed to stay," Gallagher said.
When everyone is asleep, embers from a fire blow toward the baby.
"The robin in a tree sees this and flies down and spreads her wings and catches the embers on her chest, of course getting burned, but she does it to protect the baby," she said.
Saturday's concert is a mix of material.
"Its going to be a show that's great for all ages," Gallagher said.
Email Robin Caudell:
firstname.lastname@example.com YOU GO WHAT: "All On A Winter's Night," a concert by Martha Gallagher, the "Adirondack Harper." WHEN: 7 p.m. Saturday. WHERE: Amos and Julia Ward Theater at J.E.M.S., Jay. ADMISSION: $10.

Don't blink, you might miss the first meteor shower of the year. The high-powered Quadrantids meteor event should peak just before dawn Thursday with a maximum number of meteors per hour of about 80.
The meteor shower is expected to "last only a few hours," according to NASA.com.
The meteors are believed to be a piece comet that broke apart centuries ago. The fragments will enter the Earth's atmosphere at 90,000 mph, burning up 50 miles above Earth's surface, according to NASA.
Mother Nature might working against some would-be Quadrantids viewers in Northern California. High clouds associated with a system approaching the Pacific Northwest overnight may hamper viewing of the meteor shower, especially north of San Francisco, according to the National Weather Service. Forecasters there say the best viewing times will be between 4-5 a.m. Thursday.
If clouds don't obscure the meteor shower, the glowing moon may outshine it. The meteor shower is peaking while the moon is in its bright gibbous phase, according to Space.com.
Novato briefly became the focus of the meteorite world in October 2012 as space rock hunters scoured streets, sidewalks and open spaces trying to find confirmed fragments from a fireball that disintegrated over the North Bay on Oct. 17. The meteor was seen throughout Marin, with several sightings in Fairfax. In all, six meteorites from that shower have been confirmed. About 40 people showed at a special meteorite identification workshop staged by astronomers in November.
Viewing tips from NASA:
- To view Quadrantids, go outside and allow your eyes 30-45 minutes to adjust to the dark.
- Look straight up, allowing your eyes to take in as much of the sky as possible.
- You will need cloudless, dark skies away from city lights to see the shower.
Like most meteor showers, Quadrantids is named for the constellation from which it appears to radiate. However, Quadrantids' constellation no longer exists. The constellation Quadrans Muralis, or Mural Quadrant, was created by the French astronomer Jerome Lalande in 1795 and was located between the constellations of Bootes the Herdsman and Draco the Dragon.
When the International Astronomical Union devised a list 88 modern constellations in 1922, it did not include Quadrans Muralis. So the meteor shower retained its name, though the constellation was rendered obsolete.
These days, Quadrantids radiates from an area inside the constellation Boötes, near the Big Dipper.
If the weather doesn't cooperate, you can watch a Ustream feed of the meteor shower on Jan. 2-4 on NASA.com.

Guitars of the stars going on display in Nashville
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Some legendary guitars are going on display at the Tennessee State Museum.
The exhibit, called "The Guitar: An American Love Story," opens Thursday.
Among the instruments on loan for the show are a guitar played by Elvis Presley, Eric Clapton's 1958 Gibson Explorer and singing cowboy star Roy Rogers' OM-45 Deluxe guitar made by C.F. Martin & Co., circa 1930. There will be more than 150 guitars in all.
A 150-page catalog about the collection is on sale in the museum bookstore, and there are viewing stations where visitors can see and hear the instruments being played by great musicians.
There is no admission charge at the museum in the Polk Cultural Center near the state Capitol in Nashville.

Calif. Gov's Clemency to Woman in Shaken-Baby Case Ends 9th Circuit's Legal Battle with Supremes
Posted Apr 9, 2012 3:01 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
For five years, a federal appeals court has been trying to free Shirley Ree Smith. It held in 2006 that the evidence on which her second-degree murder conviction was based in the death of her infant grandson just wasn't sufficient to establish her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in the shaken-baby case.
However, the U.S. Supreme Court has resisted, most recently ruling, in a divided Oct. 31 opinion, that the jury's decision had to be respected and Smith's conviction had to be reinstated, recounts the L.A. Now blog of the Los Angeles Times.
But now the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has been backed by California Gov. Jerry Brown, who granted clemency to the 51-year-old Smith on Friday and commuted her sentence. She had already served a decade of the 15-years-to-life term before being released in 2006 after the 9th Circuit ruling.
Smith's lawyer, Michael J. Brennan, says she may still seek to overturn her conviction so that her record is clean.
Smith, who lives with a daughter in Minnesota, burst into tears when she heard about the governor's action, Pro Publica reported in a detailed article about the case. It also provides a link to the governor's commutation order.
Two forensic pathologists with the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner testified at Smith's trial that her grandson had died of shaken-baby syndrome, Pro Publica recounts, and the coroner's office stood by that diagnosis when asked by Los Angeles County prosecutors earlier this year to go over their findings.
However, a veteran pathologist there, Dr. James Ribe, strongly disagreed and said in a report that the cause of death should be listed as undetermined due to a lack of evidence as to what occurred.
Smith's case is one of a number of convictions in which evidence once thought to be determinative concerning shaken-baby deaths is now being questioned. An earlier ABA Journal article discusses the controversy:

text: WASHINGTON (AP) - Former congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. is admitting in court that he used campaign money for personal use. His guilty plea today could bring him between 46 and 57 months in prison, under a plea deal with prosecutors. The Illinois Democrat told the judge that he was waiving his right to trial, saying he had no interest in "wasting the taxpayers' time or money." His wife, Sandra, has also agreed to plead guilty, to a charge of filing false joint federal income tax returns. Jackson's father, civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, watched the proceedings in the front row, hands folded, with no expression and virtually no movements. Sentencing is scheduled for June 28.

The 37-year-old has officially been charged with rule breaches related to prohibited substances, duty to keep medication records, and conduct prejudicial to racing.
The hearing will be held at 2.30pm at BHA headquarters in London.

Despite the best efforts of the New England Patriots and several other NFL teams, wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders will play for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2013. The restricted free agent signed a one year, $2.5 million tender, and is happy to play for a one-year contract then move on in 2014, according to the Post Gazette's Ed Bouchette.
The Patriots signed Sanders to an offer sheet, but the Steelers ultimately opted to match the offer and bring him back for another year. Pittsburgh already lost their leading receiver from last year when Mike Wallace left for the Miami Dolphins, and losing Sanders was too big of a risk for the team. They may still work out a long term contract with Sanders, but his agent, Jordan Woy, said he is open to playing this season and then testing the waters of unrestricted free agency.
Sanders is entering his fourth season in the NFL, and caught 44 passes for 626 yards and a touchdown in 2012, career highs in terms of receptions and yardage.

text: I think Margaret is a lovely name- and (like Elizabeth) there are many options for nicknames. Lots of "traditional" English names have nicknames and shorts that are somewhat puzzling, but they probably came about because the names were so common that variations were used to differentiate all the Marys, Annes, Catherines and such. Thus we get Margaret- Meg- Peg; Mary- Molly- Polly; Anne- Nan- Nancy; Edward- Ed- Ted; Christopher- Kester- Kit and lots more. Many are surprise that "Polly" comes from "Mary", but it does! Name origins are are fascinating things! Another name that surprises people is that "Daisy" can come from "Margaret"! Margaret in French is" Marguerite", which is a large kind of daisy. It was often given as a nickname in families with lots of Margarets. Of course it is also a flower name in its own right, but still- interesting.

A Patronus for 2011 - Let's Get It!January 03, 2011, 12:58 AM
You know, it isn't often I have a year like 2010. It was a year in which I truly took responsibility for myself. Sure, my parents bailed me out a couple times, I'm not saying I didn't need help, but I clothed and fed myself, paid my bills, found work, and braved a new city on my own. In a lot of ways, 2010 was the first true year of my adulthood and I'm left with this feeling of pride that's carrying me into 2011. It's got me excited about the next 12 months...Comments (11)

With 1.3 billion people, a booming economy and plenty of mountains, China has all the right ingredients to become a slide-happy nation.
It's not just us that thinks so. The fact that brands like Rossignol and Quicksilver are already sponsoring in the region is a sure indication they can sniff potential in the Chinese ski market. And with Beijing hosting the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, you can be certain that all sport - including the hurtling-down-a-snowy-mountain variety - is getting a big push in China.
For the immediate future however, skiing and snowboarding in China remains a niche activity.
Prices in China are still reasonably cheap. A one-day adult lift pass at one of the more popular ski resorts in China costs around $US20.
Getting here
The decent ski resorts in China can be tricky to get to, which means that tagging on a day's skiing or boarding to a short break in one of the major centres just isn't possible. If you say you want to go skiing or snowboarding in China, you've got to really mean it.
Getting to China's largest ski resort (Yabuli) in Heilongjiang Province, for example, involves a 90 minute internal flight from Beijing, a two and a half hour train ride and a bus transfer.
There are more convenient ski resorts in China. Beijing Nanshan International Ski Slope and Resort is only an hour and a half's drive from Beijing and even has an international-standard half-pipe. Just don't expect to work up too much of a sweat. With its highest point just 600 metres (1,968 feet) above sea level, most of the runs are over pretty quickly.
Culture in China
All this talk of convenience is sort of missing the point when it comes to China. Because let's face it, you'd be doing a gross disservice to yourself (and China) if you didn't spend at least a bit of time in Beijing - a city with such history and vitality and culture.
Aside from the city itself, there's the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the last oriental palace in the world. It'd be a shame to touch down at the airport and head straight for the slopes.

- Great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/31/2014Food was great, except for the Italian salad dressing, which just tasted like oil. Meatballs were as large as a baseball! Good kids menu, and the lemon cookies are yummy.Special Features:

- New findOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/30/2014I have recieved many great reviews from friends and family. So my wife and son tried it. The only complaint I had (and I am sure it was a fluke) one napkin was stained and one glass had a speck of food on it still. Be sides that, the server was prompt, and suggestive, and very polite. Food was wonderful, and very pleasing to the palate. I even saw the Chef come out and talk to some guest that had food allergies and personally took there order, which is often something I don't see much of. It was a great experience both environment and food wise.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Friendly and fast good servicecgeraciDined on 8/30/2014Our visit at magiannos was very pleasantly surprising!! The staff was extremely attentive!!!

- Italian fareOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/25/2014Great for family And choices for kids. Meat over cooked but being aware order rare in futureSpecial Features:
- Good food / Great valueBocciDined on 8/24/2014I highly recommend the Mom's Lasagna. Maggiano's provides a large portion of delicious, ricotta-loaded, meaty, cheesy lasagna as well as a second entrée to take home for a very reasonable price. For me, I get full on a half servinge, so it works out to four great meals for a fantastic price. My party also enjoyed the warm bread, the calamari, fettuccine alfredo and the take home Bowtie Aglio. The only drawbacks are that the Bowtie Aglio is not always on the menu and that I love the lasagna so much I cannot bring myself to order any of the other scrumptious menu items! (Yes, that is correct, my take home item was also lasagna…) Too bad that the specifically recommend choices on this rating site do not include anything about value.
- Maggianos reigns again!HappyGoLuckyDined on 8/24/2014I can't imagine a world without Maggianos! Great food, great price - perfect!Special Features:
- Delectable ItalianCBHFOODIESNOBDined on 8/23/2014An excellent spot to relax, enjoy, celebrate with friends or family! You will never be disappointed by anything when you choose to dine in this establishment! The atmosphere is inviting as is the décor and the staff members who always put their best foot forward to make you feel at home. The wine list and sangria are among my favorites when I need to kick back and take a breather or treat myself to some delicious, homemade comfort food. We have celebrated many a special occasion enjoying this restaurant and last Saturday was no exception. Looking forward to many more exciting and tasty meals here!Special Features:
- Enjoyed the food.RmaxDined on 8/22/2014Great time with my wife. We ate outside and it was very nice. The salads were excellent. The value is exceptional when you do the two for $40.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved it but.......OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/17/2014Service excellent...cleanliness excellent....food delicious bit noisy for just 2 adults celebrating a very special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The server was great...luv4dineDined on 8/17/2014There was a hair found in our food the server did get the manager Mark and he removed 25 percent of the bill. I thought it should have been free..it's hard to finish enjoying your food after something like that. Looking and lose taste buds. I felt it should have been food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- notes?JDandKDDined on 8/16/2014I don't know if the restaurants have access to the notes but it would be nice if they knew if the party was celebrating a special occasion without having to say something to the hostess or server.Special Features:
- Best Italian Food EveronlyplaceforitalianDined on 8/16/2014This is the best italian food that I have ever eaten. The restaurant was packed with a two hour wait and the service was still phenomenal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reservation Mindset Not the BestDaytonDinerDined on 8/15/2014I love Maggiano's and we are loyal to them when coming down from Dayton to shop at Kenwood due to their GREAT FOOD and kid friendly model. That said the attitude of the staff towards people who have made reservations for a specific time is a bit frustrating when the restaurant has slipped well off schedule on a busy night. For an 8:30 reservation on a Friday night we arrived 5 minutes early and were seated at 8:50. We then experienced very slow dinner service resulting in not getting out of there until after 10 PM during a two course meal. No apologies or sense of urgency by the hostesses and wait staff when they should be empathetic and apologetic to diners when this occurs, not act like we are lucky to have a chance to dine there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday celebrationPatCincinnatiDined on 8/15/20144 of us went to celebrate 2 birthdays. Good food, helpful server and lemon cookies as a birthday gift. We will continue to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Happy AnniversaryfunyumDined on 8/15/2014Two couples celebrating their anniversaries. Very friendly servers and management and the food was wonderful!Special Features:
- birthdayanniversaryDined on 8/14/2014Normally we would say that the service and food was top notch...not very satisfied. Server wasn't very focused or fast and didn't remember several items. We weren't able to have shots when we have in the past, so instead we got Patron w ice which was disgusting. Food wasn't the norm either, didn't taste the same. Wonder if there had been some changes in the kitchen as well. We were seated fast and they were friendly.Special Features:
- WineGroupDined on 8/13/2014Usually a pleasant experience, this time our service was awful. Waitress, after taking our order, never returned to our table. Our food was not cooked correctly and also items were missing. Drinks never refilled. Her response was that she was slammed at the bar! As a customer, not our problem, she knew we were outside (patio) and could see us. Never asked anyone else to check on us. Sorry to say worst service and food.Special Features:
- MoneyManDined on 8/13/2014Entrees were tasty but the meat portions in them were quite meager.Special Features:
- Good Italian cuisine!MrBillDined on 8/11/2014I always enjoy my meals at Maggianos. The food & service is always consistent. Everyone treats you like a celebrity.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/10/2014Usually give higher marks, but this visit was disappointing. Salads took a very long time to arrive, and then before we had barely started eating, the main course arrived. Not a very comfortable or satisfying experience.Special Features:
- we ordered Family StylejoanieDined on 8/9/2014We chose the Family Style menu. The first serving of the entree was very disappointing. Most of the food came out slightly warm and the sauces were very dry. We mentioned it to our server and she brought a second round which was superb. We felt it was a shame that it did not come that way the first time. Our server was outstanding!Special Features:
- Very squished! Non-polite waiter!MommaDined on 8/9/2014My husband made reservations online and asked for a quiet table for my birthday. We had reservations and still had to wait 15 minutes for our table. So much for a quiet table. They put us on the corner of the walkway that all the servers and patrons walked through. Our table was knocked twice and a couple times people brushed me as they went by! The waiter was not very pleasant! You would think that when my husband said that it was my birthday, he would have been more pleasant, but no. If you are looking for a relaxing dinner, maybe look somewhere else.
- SNowSweetdivia79Dined on 8/9/2014The experince over all was great. The only problem I had was I requested a window seat and did not the window view I was expecting. Instead I was given a window table where the window was behind me. I have tried to get a table when I made telephone reservations and ws told that I had to request it. So I did that and still did not get what I wanted unless I waited until other parties were finished eating. That is my only complaint. The server was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, service, not so much.mairjDined on 8/8/2014Fried Zucchini was not as hot as what I'm used to, but still tasted good. The chicken & spinach manicotti was delicious. Service was lacking I'm guessing due to a large party our server had in addition to our table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday DinnerDaytonfansDined on 8/6/2014We made online reservations for my wife's birthday. We have dined at more than one Maggiano's and enjoy every visit. Our request for a booth was honored, for a more comfortable and cozy experience. We like to take advantage of the Dinner for Two. My wife chose the mushroom ravioli and I the lasagna. They were delicious. The salads, chocolate cake, & coffee were equally good. Our server was very attentive. The take home was a bonus.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great special occasion placeShanks75Dined on 7/30/2014Maggianos has great food, enormous portions and take home free the next day with a classic pasta. We loved it! Found the drink prices astronomical though. Perhaps that's how they can give the free food! Just be cautious. We will go back, but no alcoholic drinks!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Large PortionsfoodluverDined on 7/30/2014This place is really good. The food is delicious and comes in very large portions (enough to take home). I gave it only four stars because the kitchen did not get our salad orders correct and we had to send them back. Overall it is a great value for the taste and amount of food you get.Special Features:
- Excellent!MommaQDined on 7/29/2014We have been to Maggiano's numerous times, and as always, the service and food doesn't disappoint!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Emotions run high with school cuts on the line

We must all be responsible for the future of this country, and that is held in the hands of the children who are being educated right NOW. Whether we have children in school or not, they are the one who will drive through the success of America as we have known it in the past. We must encourage all friends and neighbors to support the introduction of a parcel tax. The success of our children, and our school district, affects our housing prices and the draw for new businesses to come to Pleasanton, which is good for all of us in the end.
on Jan 29, 2009 at 8:59 am
How much is this tax going to cost? Has anyone heard any details on the cost to individuals?
on Jan 29, 2009 at 9:20 am
Taxes, taxes, and more taxes. Though it is one of the two things that's certain in life, less is always better than more. PUSD can look for other ways to generate revenue, for example, donations, salary reductions, stipend elimination, etc. There are many ways to make this work. Just flat out rejecting all ideas other than the parcel tax doesn't resolve anything. Oh yes, the sales pitch that we don't have time to look at other options. Given the federal aid, we do have time to sort things out. A thorough cost and benefit analysis need to be conducted to explore what works and what doesn't.
If we approve a parcel tax, PUSD will come back for more money in the future. We need to root cause the problems in PUSD (excessive spending) and take the necessary corrective actions. That is the ONLY long-term fix to the problem. Throwing more money at those problems don't make them go away. So, our children's interest is NOT best served by the parcel tax, but by a long term resolution.
Parents: If you truly want the best education for your children, spend a couple of hours with them every night on their school work or simply read with them. Turn off that TV and computer. That, I assure you, would raise your children's interest in school, their grades, and parent-child bond. You can't rake in these benefits with the parcel tax that we don't need. Just my 2 cents...

Mental well-being and suicide prevention plan put forward for approval (From Redditch Advertiser)
Get involved! Send your photos, video, news & views by texting RA NEWS to 80360 or e-mail us
Mental well-being and suicide prevention plan put forward for approval
1:06pm Friday 24th January 2014 in News
A NEW county-wide mental well-being and suicide prevention plan looks set to be approved next week.
Worcestershire County Council's Health and Well-being Board will be asked to back the plan when it meets at County Hall on Wendesday, January 29 at 2pm.
Nearly 70,000 adults and about 7,600 children in Worcestershire are experiencing mental ill health at any time and about 50 people each year take their own life.
Councillor Marcus Hart, the council's cabinet member for health and well-being, said: "We want to make sure that people in Worcestershire feel able to talk about mental illness and are able to access help readily when they need it. Nobody should feel ashamed of mental illness.
"Together with our partners, we want to build mental resilience and mental well-being and reduce the risk of people taking their own lives."
Coun Hart added: "Within Worcestershire, there is currently a great deal of work being done to promote mental wellbeing and prevent suicide, but there is more to do. This plan is fundamental to ensuring that all partners work together to make a positive impact upon mental health and changing attitudes towards talking about it. We firmly believe that there is no health without mental health."
The plan identifies three strategic priorities which will inform the work of all partners over the next three years, with the overall aim of improving mental well-being and preventing suicide in Worcestershire.
This includes promoting a universal approach to improving mental well-being through the active development of five ways to well-being
It also aims to raise awareness and early recognition of mental health problems and to promote early intervention and self-help across the life course, including through the recovery journey, as well as improving information about suicide, and support for those who are bereaved or affected by it.
