---- — ANDOVER — Last night, it was Town Meeting's turn.
Against the recommendations of town staff, a study committee appointed by the town manager, the Board of Selectmen and the Finance Committee, Town Meeting voted 291-110 in favor of borrowing $200,000 to buy a piece of land for expansion of the Ballardvale Fire station. The vote cleared by more than a two-thirds majority, the amount needed for such an expenditure.
Article 25, proposed by former Town Manager Richard Bowen and supported by hundreds of neighbors, was the first of two articles that passed last night in support of renovating the existing station rather than building a new one near the South Elementary School.
The second article, to use $200,000 from free cash to prepare plans and specifications for renovations to the existing station, also passed overwhelmingly.
"For 123 years, the Ballardvale fire station has been a vital, vibrant member of the Andover Fire Department," said Bowen, one of several people speaking in favor of both warrant articles. "It has fixable shortcomings." He said the renovations would create "a score of collateral improvements," including improved access to and from the building.
Other supporters said the articles should be approved because the location is best, the building is fundamentally sound and renovations to an existing building - estimated to cost about $2 million - would be far cheaper than building a new building - estimated to cost $6-8 million.
Historic preservation folks weighed in as well, saying the building should be saved and used rather than scrapped and demolished.
But town officials tried to dissuade Town Meeting voters from approving the plan.
Selectman Brian Major said "the primary reason we were against it is that the experts - Fire Chief Mike Mansfield and the Ballardvale Fire Station Task Force - have done extensive analysis and determined that the location should be moved to be on the other side of the railroad tracks."
Finance Committee member Paul Fortier said that while he commended Bowen and others for coming up with their own warrant articles, there were numerous problems with them.
"The town needs a new fire station," he said. "The conclusion of the Ballardvale committee and the chief is they need a state-of-the-art station that meets all the needs of the town. That station should be on the east side of the railroad tracks."
Dan Casper, chairman of the Ballardvale committee, said he and seven other citizens had studied the issue since 2008 and filed their final report last year. They concluded that the best location is the corner of Andover and Woburn streets adjacent to the South Elementary School.
"The real issue," he said, "is should the current station be slated for renovation. The current location will not serve the Lowell Junction and South Andover part of town."
He added the station's location blocks fire trucks from gaining access to that side of town whenever a train comes through.
Chief Mansfield agreed, saying that relocating the station would improve response times.
"Locating the station on the east side of the tracks will enable us to respond more quickly to a bigger geographic area of town," he said.
As soon as the Board of Selectmen saw the way first vote went, they hastily convened a board meeting - in the middle of Town Meeting on the stage - to reconsider their position on the second warrant article.
They took a vote in favor of Article 26, garnering applause from the audience.
"The concerns we offered are still valid," Major said. "We need to provide safe coverage of the Lowell Junction area. But since Town Meeting already voted to purchase the land it makes sense to fund the design work for the expansion."
Selectmen voted 5-0 in favor of paying $200,000 for the design work needed for renovations to the station.

BEREA, Ohio -- Browns rookie running back Trent Richardson sustained a rib cartilage injury in Sunday's win over Cincinnati.
Richardson was injured in the first half when he was hit with a helmet in the right side. Browns coach Pat Shurmur said Monday that Richardson "is fine and day to day." Richardson finished with 37 yards on 14 carries and had two catches for 17 yards as Cleveland snapped an 11-game losing streak -- and 12-game skid against AFC North opponents -- by beating the Bengals 34-24.
Richardson left the game midway through the third quarter and did not return. His replacement, Montario Hardesty, rushed for 56 yards and scored his first career touchdown.
Cleveland's players were not available for comment and won't practice until Wednesday.

Lyric of The Week: Coldest Winter - Kanye West
You'd be forgiven for thinking that you time traveled today, but no dice; it's actually just the Winter Solstice—the shortest day of the year.
The winter solstice signifies the shortening of days, and the progressive lengthening of nights. So even though the sun may not be out for as long as you'd like, at least you'll have more time to party into the wee hours of the morning. Thanks, Mother Nature!
So for this Lyric of The Week, we thought we'd call upon one of our favorite party goers (and don't forget kilt-wearer!) to sing us into the season. In "Coldest Winter", Kanye sings about the memories he made in the coldest (literally and figuratively) season of them all:
Memories made in the coldest winter / Goodbye, my friend, will I ever love again?
In the words of Gucci Mane, "Burr!" Don't forget your toques and mitts, kids!

Recent Edgartown Area Reviews
We loved the property and the location.
We loved the location and the amenities. Everyone loved the pool and the jacuzzi. You could ride a bike to the beach or Edgartown. We cooked dinner a few times and enjoyed eating both inside and outside. We had a problem getting the screen door to shut and Eric sent someone over immediately to fix it. The property was clean and well maintained. We would recommend this property. FYI: we had two families of three and one family of two in the house and we were all comfortable. We had two adults in the downstairs master with our daughter in the top floor bedroom. Our friend and her daughter shared a bedroom. My sister had her own room and so did her daughter. Their son slept in the room above the garage.
Great Vacation Home
This is a perfect home for a family vacation. It is very close to south beach and right off of the bike path. We spent a lot of time on the roof deck which has a great view. I would recommend taking a short ride to jump the jaws bridge. My family had a blast here and I would highly recommend this spot to anyone.
Great house, great location!
We've been coming to the Vineyard every summer for 10 years and this was one of the nicest homes we've stayed in! The location is perfect - a 5 minute walk to downtown Edgartown. The house, while an antique, is clean, well furnished and updated. We arrived to find a wonderful and complete guide to the house and the island, as well as a personal note and locally baked cookies! It was a very nice and thoughtful touch. The fenced backyard and patio was a perfect place to relax with coffee in the morning before starting our day. We did have two very small issues during our stay, and the owner and property manager addressed them immediately. They were apologetic and as unobtrusive as possible. I would definitely recommend staying here while enjoying all the Vineyard has to offer!

Managed to predict Microsofts direction before the 'Threshold' announcement, yipee !
How accurate is this (this was before threshold was even announced):
Metro\WinRT is not yet designed to replaced the desktop, does not have the professional app catalogue nor marketshare presence. In its current state it's a tablet prioritising OS, released in haste by Microsoft to compete on touchscreen-centric devices. Its foundations are still largely being set.
Microsoft will continue to improve and update the desktop alongside metro. Ms may even make an enterprise/pro geared version of Windows x86 where the start screen is replaced by a start-menu of sorts. In addition to a dedicated, vetted, deskop app store. Though the WinRT runtime will still be available and metro apps will be able to run in Windowed mode. This would be required because in order to advance the desktop and introduce gestures, workspaces similar to OSX, the desktop UI would need to standalone, otherwise it would conflict with Metro and complicate\disjoint the user experience further. Only enterprise/industry/pro sector applications will be making their way there. Continued...
Read full post in this thread, towards the bottom. Link here.
In light of this:
Judging from some of the below comments, some people have wrongly perceived this move by Microsoft as giving up on Metro in the enterprise. On the contrary, it couldn't be further from the truth. First of all Microsoft never really expected enterprise to jump on the Metro bandwagon to begin with, but such a move (threshold) will allow the enterprise to start targeting the WinRT runtime and having those applications run in windowed mode, side by side with their legacy standard desktop ones and these same Metro apps will of course then also run on any other Windows version with Metro/WinRT runtime, so ultimately bringing enterprise/pro-grade apps to all its platforms (Since all have the WinRT runtime). Thus once WinRT has enough enterprise apps on it and UI/API's advanced enough, it can start deprecating the desktop in the enterprise too.

The Central Coast Section football playoffs began three weeks ago with the same ol' debate — private school dominance against public school misfortune.
They ended on frigid Saturday night at Westmont High with a taste of sweet revenge.
One year after Los Gatos watched St. Francis celebrate a 17-0 victory for the Division II title on a rainy night at Westmont, the Wildcats made the most of the rematch, scoring the final 21 points to beat the Lancers 31-14.
The victory gave public schools three of the five CCS football championships this year and the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League's De Anza Division two of the five.
The powerful West Catholic Athletic League, favored by many to win three of the divisions when the playoffs began, finished with one championship — Serra's win over league mate Archbishop Mitty in the Open Division final Friday.

CATEGORIES Thrillers, Deals, Scripts, Movies, CinematicalOh gee, another movie about a woman getting stalked by a sadistic dude. I try to ignore most of these films as they're pretty much just more of the same, but I think this new flick is irking me because it was written by a woman. The Hollywood Reporter posts that Scatter Light Productions has picked up Curve -- a new thriller written by Kimberly Lofstrom Johnson. While this is her first script, you might recognize her name from her work in reality television.
So, what's this oh-so-original premise? When a man helps fix her car, a woman tries to be "a good Samaritan" and give him a ride. Maybe, instead of Samaritan, it should be "idiot." A little work under the hood doesn't make someone a good, or even safe man. It just makes them a sneaky one. Anyway, in the unsurprising twist, the guy attacks her, so "she attempts an emergency maneuver that lands her trapped in her car in a ravine, with the man waiting for her to weaken." I've been through drivers ed and the like, but what the eff is an "emergency maneuver" for an in-car assailant? Drive like a spaz until you soar off a cliff? Who knows.
This will be Scatter Light's first project, and so far, there's no word on a director or production schedule.

World hopes for greater climate leadership from US after superstorm, Obama re-election
DOHA, Qatar — During a year with a monster storm and scorching heat waves, Americans have experienced the kind of freakish weather that many scientists say will occur more often on a warming planet.
And as a re-elected president talks about global warming again, climate activists are cautiously optimistic that the U.S. will be more than a disinterested bystander when the U.N. climate talks resume Monday with a two-week conference in Qatar.
"I think there will be expectations from countries to hear a new voice from the United States," said Jennifer Morgan, director of the climate and energy program at the World Resources Institute in Washington.
The climate officials and environment ministers meeting in the Qatari capital of Doha will not come up with an answer to the global temperature rise that is already melting Arctic sea ice and permafrost, raising and acidifying the seas, and shifting rainfall patterns, which has an impact on floods and droughts.
They will focus on side issues, like extending the Kyoto protocol — an expiring emissions pact with a dwindling number of members — and ramping up climate financing for poor nations.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As Tammy Duckworth sees it, her path to Congress began when she awoke in the fall of 2004 at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. She was missing both of her legs and faced the prospect of losing her right arm.
Months of agonizing therapy lay ahead. As the highest-ranking double amputee in the ward, Maj. Duckworth became the go-to person for soldiers complaining of substandard care and bureaucratic ambivalence.
Soon, she was pleading their cases to federal lawmakers, including her state's two U.S. senators at the time — Democrats Dick Durbin and Barack Obama of Illinois. Obama arranged for her to testify at congressional hearings. Durbin encouraged her to run for office.
