Dear Editor,
How does a taxpayer get assistance from the local "officials" in Washington County, Kentucky?
I have been trying to get two problems resolved. The first for 1 1/2 years, the replacement of a street sign, and the second for six months, the repair of two potholes.
I stopped off at the doctor's office the other day. Doc's always so glad to see me.
"Hey Doc! How's it going?" I said as he entered the examining room.
It was like he hit an invisible wall when he suddenly looked up. We made eye contact and he shuttered.
Doc suddenly got this pained look on his face. He must suffer from acid reflux or something. He's always like this every time I come to see him. Poor fellow.
This is probably the most difficult, but I hope not controversial, articles that I have ever attempted to write.
All juvenile sports programs are difficult to run and frequently lead to clashes between kids, coaches, and parents. By juvenile, I'm talking mainly about grades one through eight. These clashes tend to leave everyone involved with hurt feelings that may take years to heal due to things said in haste at the heat of the moment.
You probably don't know, but Washington County is moving forward in defining the next generation of our school system. What do I mean? The Washington County School Board is in the process of selecting an architectural firm to help define our requirements and needs for our children and grandchildren.
It's an obvious combination, and it only makes sense when you think about it.
Newspapers and education are pretty much partners in the community. The goal of the newspaper is to inform and educate its readers about what happens in the community, and we strive to do that each week as we produce The Springfield Sun for our readers.
You know, it's a really crazy, fast-paced world we live in. It's so fast paced that we frequently get on each others' nerves and the resulting stress makes you just want to run away.
You ever feel that way? You ever wish you could be on some deserted island or off in some faraway mountains? Go where no one was there and you had nothing you had to do? If so, then you might enjoy a couple of stories I have and the answer might be surprising.
I'm going to turn 51 in October. That may sound old to some people, but I'm a spring chicken in the prime of my life. That's what my 82-year-old daddy tells me every time we talk about age. He wouldn't lie.
You may doubt this, but I do all kinds of exercise because I'm still in the Army Reserve. I'll have you know that I beat most everyone in my unit in the two-mile run. Of course my unit is a division headquarters where men less than 55 are called "sonny".
The Public Notice – 2008-09 Proposed Tax Rate Hearing, is Sept. 4, 2008 at 6:30 p.m. at Central Office, 120 Mackville Hill, Springfield to hear public comments regarding a proposed general fund tax levy of 52 cents on real property and 52 cents on personal property. This is the amount they are asking for, and will get if there is no question or opposition to the request.
The 2008 tax levied was 50.8 cents, which costs us 50 cents on $100, on everything.
After the fact people had questions and said they didn't know about it.

Slow jury selection for Mitchell Young in Cipriano murder trial
Updated On: Jun 13 2013 07:00:49 PM EDT
Jury selection for the second defendant in the Cipriano murder trial proceeded slowly Thursday in Oakland County Circuit Court.
Mitchell Young is charged along with Tucker Cipriano in the baseball bat beating death of Tucker's father, Robert Cipriano, during a robbery attempt last year at the Cipriano home in Farmington Hills. That attack also critically injured Tucker Cipriano's mother, Rose, and his brother, Sal.
The two young men will be tried together, with separate juries.
Read more: From the courtroom: Jury selection for Mitchell Young
Mitchell Young appeared in court well-groomed and dressed in a suit. He occasionally turned to smile at individuals in the courtroom. At one point he gave a thumbs up sign. This appearance was in marked contrast to the sobbing responses Young gave when he was arraigned after his arrest.
It took two days earlier this week to seat a jury for Tucker Cipriano. A long day of questioning Thursday led to 26 potential jurors moved into the jury pool. Many potential jurors were excused because they wee emotionally overcome regarding the case. Others told of being friends with members of the Cipriano family.
Judge Shalina Kumar joined with prosecutors and defense attorneys in questioning potential jurors. Many questions involved media coverage, and specifically, recent reports that the Cipriano family favored a plea agreement to avoid a trial.
Michael McCarthy, attorney for Mitchell Young, said he was not surprised by the slow progress of the jury selection process.
"I think it's pretty much what I expected. I thought that it would take a while and we'd have to go through each person who knew or said they had heard something about it and speak with them individually and I knew that would take some time, so I'm not surprised about the pace at which we are moving right now," McCarthy said.
The jury selection process for Mitchell Young will resume Friday morning.
If a jury can be seated, opening statements in the trial will take place next Monday.

- Great servicehappyDined on 11/23/2014Our server was great! very attentive. Only small issue was that they first sat us next to the soda machine and prep station - even with a reservation!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Birthday!RHenryDined on 11/5/2014Excellent food and service. Our server could use a brush up on how to serve wine but he got through it. He was attentive and friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mmmm...Bacon!!!BraunyaurDined on 11/5/2014You can smell it from the parking lot (lots of parking around back)! Have to get the Flight of Bacon...yummo! Service was excellent, food delivery perfect, and staff menu knowledge outstanding. Issues we had were having to ask for salt and pepper, not enough accompaniments with the bacon flight so 2 could enjoy, and a lack of A1 sauce for the cheesesteak. Overall, a great place for a quick bite, or a date. Feel comfortable in jeans and T-shirt, or a jacket, but eschew the tie.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- always a pleasureasheb9Dined on 11/4/2014We usually visit the Berkshire for brunch, but made a dinner res with my visiting parents. Service was great, I forgot my to go and they hunted me down outside to make sure I got it. My parents enjoyed the dinner, but the noise level was somewhat excessive which made for some difficulty conversation-wise. Regardless of noise level, the atmosphere felt quite comfortable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great serviceRHenryDined on 10/30/2014We eat here almost every week. The food is very good but this time there seemed to be a miscommunication between the server and the kitchen. Waited a long time for our food; finally one salad arrived but we had ordered three. Then server came over and said to just keep the salad as an appetizer. Then finally the three salads came out and one entree. I don't think the Pork Tenderloin should be cooked medium. The glasses of individual wine were only a quarter of a glass full. For the price, they should at least be one third to a half full. It seems most of the attention is given to bar patrons; just an observation every time we eat here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for brunch!OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 10/26/2014This is our second time dining here. You can't be happier when you can make reservations for brunch and have $10.50 bottomless mimosas. The food is good and I love that little area by the old Stapleton.Special Features:
- No "pop" for the money3daddyDined on 10/24/2014We went there based on reviews. We were there at 5:30, and what? No happy hour? The food was pretty good, not eclectic or fancy or weird/bizarre. The place is nice and clean and in that new yuppie style. The service was ok, one of us received our soup and I had to ask for the other bowl. The thing that will keep us from going back was the high prices- prices higher than the reviews showed.Special Features:
- Beloved neighborhood spotWorkingMomVIPDined on 10/11/2014My family - including vegetarians, toddlers, those-who-require-a-full-bar, those-who-will-only-eat-meat-and-potatos, and foodies, have all been eating here regularly for years now. It's got something for everyone, is family friendly, but nice enough that we often bring out-of-town visitors here for an easy neighborhood meal.Special Features:
- Fun with porkHollyGVIPDined on 9/28/2014What a great find. This is a casual place with a menu full of surprises. They take the concept of pork seriously, but not too seriously. There is something on the menu for everyone.Special Features:
- Bacon outbillterrycoVIPDined on 9/27/2014My son saw this place on TV. He and his girl just arrived from DC and this was the first place he wanted to go. He wanted "the King". Since it was a Sat. it wasn't on the brunch menu. However, the server checked and they made it for him. He was impressed enough that he said he would go back just for the sandwich again. We had a variety of dishes off their menu. Everything was pretty good. While the staffed screwed up the delivery of the appetizers, they were apologetic. And on one dish they delivered the wrong egg order. I didn't notice, but they brought out an entire new corrected plate without asking. Overall, this place was a good find.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chock full of porky goodness.KireWineDined on 9/21/2014My fiancee and I thoroughly enjoyed everything we tried on our visit to Berkshire. The flight of bacon and the Elvis sandwich were both unusual and delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I am Not a Bacon LoverIknowFoodVIPDined on 9/5/2014I am not a bacon lover, or a pork enthusiast for that matter. This Berkshire has changed that for me. Four of us shared the "bacon flight" and it was fantastic....maple glazed, balsamic, curry and garlic. My pork tenderloin was was tender and delicious. Others had giant pork chops, and the pork belly special. Everyone shared. It was a nice atmosphere for an after work client dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Something differentSportshealerDined on 9/5/2014From the service to environment to food, this restaurant was so refreshing. It have the impression of farm to table without being overtly hipster cool about it. I knew I would love this place when we arrived and the front door listed the dress code as "be yourself". Our servers were perfect, not to invasive but Johnny on the spot when we needed them. The food was decadent. Try the bacon flight. It's like nothing you've ever had. I had the pork belly confit which became a little too rich but was so delicious and the sticky toffee pecan bacon pudding is a must with some Irish coffee! A definite stop for bacon/pork lovers!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant Week DelightDiaCDined on 8/27/2014Very laid back setting, but a calm ambiance even with the five tvs playing sports. We came just for Restaurant Week. Lots of pork and more than enough food (the salad was way too much to finish, so I gave up and moved onto the shared appetizers). Wednesday is also half priced bottles of wine, which is fantastic when you get a bottle of red that pairs nicely with the all the food.Special Features:
- YummyTrigger616Dined on 8/24/2014We went with a group of 5 people for restaurant week and no one had been there before. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the food is delicious. I would definitely go back and try their regular menu and I would recommend others try this little gem.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday thanksWinendineDined on 8/23/2014We had never heard of this spot and so happy we lucked upon! Our tastebuds were in heaven! Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pork paradiseFlare6520Dined on 8/16/2014The food and atmosphere was great. We went on a Saturday night and the service was great. The firecracker shrimp appetizer was amazing. Our only complaint was that there were only 3 shrimp on the plate. The pistachio crusted pork chop and the pork tenderloin were boh great. We will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food in StapletonJmldenverDined on 8/16/2014It's no secret that we are lacking in good restaurant choices in Stapleton, although that is slowly changing. The Berkshire has made some great menu changes and the last three times we've dined there, we've been very satisfied. They are consistent and convenient. Great job.Special Features:
- yummyMcmomDined on 8/16/2014I wasn't expecting much, just typical brunch food. But this place is amazing! The food was fun, creative, and delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food interesting layoutAHbrewmanDined on 8/14/2014I thought the food was great, inventive and tasty. The server stand right in the dining area was strange. I caught some un wanted server gossip. All in all food was good so made up for the strange atmosphereSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food pass on dessertnew2denverDined on 8/9/2014We had a pleasant experience overall, attentive service and very good entres. The dessert was lacking but the cocktails were delicious. Went on a Saturday night and it wasn't busy at all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good foodOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/7/2014We had burgers and fish tacos. Both were very tasty. Service was a bit slow but pleasant.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Creative menu, poorly executedBigDaddyJDined on 8/6/2014If you like bacon (and who doesn't these days...other than trollish contrarians), you'll be very excited by The Berkshire's overstuffed bacon-centric menu (with a "healthy" dose of all other things pork). However, once the food arrives, the novelty quickly wears off. Our meals weren't bad, necessarily, just not as good as our expectations (and not worth the "foodie" prices). Additionally, there is little attempt to create a pleasant dining experience. The decor is generic and bland and the noise level (despite being seated in the "quiet" area away from the bar) was unbearable. Much of our unpleasant experience had to do with a very loud table of cackling ladies, but it seemed like this was the rule, rather than the exception.
- The following 304 reviews are from the The Berkshire reviews archive.
- sad and disappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/30/2014I really enjoy their brunch bubbly favorites dish in the restaurant was the lobster mac and chesse. I ask for it at lunch but they no long the dish . I was extremely disappointed the dish was pricey but was so worth it. probably will not go back for lunch or dinner anymore.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bacon!klkuDined on 7/22/2014Most dishes here focus on pork and they're great! The bacon hummus was to die for and the 'plain' grilled cheese wasn't so plain with bacon on top. The paired tomato bisque was mouth watering. Atmosphere was good with a modern pub feel. Small, but will definitely visit again.Special Features:
- Brunch is great!RHenryDined on 7/20/2014Awesome greeting from Matt and service was very good! We were a large group and our server handled it well...ordered five of your large bloody Mary's but bar ran out of bacon. Brought some later...this was the only mis -step otherwise excellent! We will be back !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- All about the BaconCelticKirkDined on 7/18/2014The restaurant is simple but with a Pig theme and has a menu that focuses on pork. The food was good but not necessarily outstanding. We tried the bacon flight as an appetizer. There were 4 slices of bacon on a plate with some light condiments. One of the slices was strong which made it a a little difficult to differentiate the flavors of the other three. It might have been good had the waiter mentioned to try that one last. They have a good beer selection and if you get the short-rib burger, as I did, be sure to get the demi-glaze that is supposed to come with it. It was dry without it, but when I asked the waiter he brought some and it made the meal much better.I would recommend this to a friend.
- JennyVIPDined on 7/17/2014Best hamburger we have had in a long time, with quality meat and perfectly cooked. Interesting menu with many delicious choices. Creative cocktails too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely lunchluvdenverDined on 7/15/2014We stopped in for lunch on our way out of town and had a delicious meal. The service was excellent. Would definitely stop in again, maybe for dinner the next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expensive but worth it...RHenryDined on 7/10/2014Feel the menu is very expensive but generally food is good! Service is always outstanding! When you keep changing the menu you will continue to lose customers. Please bring back the Lobster Mac N Cheese! Love that you brought the Breakfast Burrito back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great patio for brunch.TheJanwaysDined on 6/29/2014We just moved to Denver from Oklahoma and wanted to find a nearby brunch place where we could enjoy good drinks and food with the wonderful Colorado weather. We got everything we were looking for. My husband had the Lobster Benedict and keeps taking about how great it was. We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Saturday BrunchShowyaVIPDined on 6/14/2014The Berkshire Eggs Benedict was awesome. Instead of an English muffin, the Berkshire Benedict sits atop Texas toast bread pudding. The poached eggs were perfect, not overdone--and what's not to like about BACON.Special Features:
- Great neighborhood diningOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/13/2014We always love going to the Berk, good food & service & always family friendly.Special Features:
- So shoot meOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 5/28/2014I'm a creature of habit and I like The Berkshire. I like their Moscow Mules...I like their fancy grilled cheese sandwiches...their shoestring frnch fries so tasty,crisp and good. When I'm in Denver, i even like eating outdoors due to the lack of bugs. I like The Berkshire.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice FindRegularDined on 5/27/2014Found this place through Open Table, as we were staying nearby. Pleasant sidewalk seating, good food and good service. Nice place to go if staying nearby.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't order Benedict32rollDined on 5/25/2014Overall the experience was good. Although I made the mistake of ordering the Benedict. Their twist is to make it with your choice of bread pudding or Texas toast instead of an English muffin. I ordered the Texas toast thinking bread pudding would be to mushy. Unfortunately the toast soaks up the sauce and ends up soggy and piratically bread pudding anyway. I ended up pulling it out and eating the eggs without it. Typically their food is very good but they changed their menu and this specific option was a bad idea.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwesomeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/11/2014Listen, just do yourself a favor and finish your meal with the Sticky Toffee Pudding. You're welcome.Special Features:
- Great for lunch, dinner or beersejindenverDined on 5/11/2014I live in Stapleton and have been going to the Berkshire ("the Berk") about once a month or so for the last 5 years. In all that time I can't say I've ever had a bad meal. The Berk has a friendly, neighborhood pub vibe but the seasonal menu is unexpectedly diverse. The place is known for its devotion to bacon and pork, but the lighter fare is excellent, also. The scallops are a favorite. It's also a nice place to stop in for a beer or two, and the cocktails are solid.Special Features:
- Stumbled on a good oneOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/10/2014We were looking for a slightly adventurous, new for us, and good food experience. Definitely found it! We tried pig wings and fried pickels, an assortment of sandwiches, and panna cotta for dessert. Everyone was very happy!Special Features:
- Stapleton Resident herebds2405VIPDined on 5/4/2014We are Stapleton residents and really like to get out of Stapleton to experience other restaurants and happenings... HOWEVER the Berkshire is always an amazing staple with great service. awesome food (Lobster benedict) and so friendly that we have a little 6 month old. We have turned so many people OUTSIDE of Stapleton to the Berkshire. Well done!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

You know how many pastor's daughters I know that grew up under the strictest of households, and still got pregnant as teens. Some had 3 or 4 kids from different guys, and a few became prostitutes.
Consider Bristol Palin. Her mom had political pressure to ensure she didn't get pregnant, and yet it still happened. Lawrence Fishbourne could provide his daughter with anything, but the whore in her came out anyways (for less money too).
What's the solution?

Town keeps old equipment at rinkJuly 09,2013BRATTLEBORO The Brattleboro Select Board is going to stick with the aging refrigeration equipment at the towns skating rink for at least one more year to ensure that the ice is ready in the Vermont town for the upcoming season.
The compressors at the Nelson Withington Skating Rink failed at the end of the last season and the town has been considering investing in a new system. But the estimate came in at almost $500,000, about $150,000 more than the community had set aside for the project.
The Brattleboro Reformer reported that the board agreed to invest between $30,000 and $40,000 in the compressors at the facility, even though theres no guarantee the equipment will hold up for another season.

South Korea's Daewoo Securities has spun-off its proprietary
trading desk in Hong Kong as a new hedge fund operation named
South Mountain Asset Management, and is understood to be
seeding the start-up with at least $50 million.
The word on the street is that Stacey Hahn Sull - the former
CEO of one of Korea's largest asset managers, Cosmo Asset
Management - could be brought in as the firm's CIO and CEO.
However, a source at South Mountain said a decision on that has
yet to be confirmed.
Daewoo Securities, a subsidiary of the KDB Financial Group,
is the second largest brokerage and investment banking group in
Korea terms of capitalisation, ranking just under Samsung
South Mountain is understood to be positioning itself to
become either an equity long/short specialist or a
multi-strategy vehicle investing in various types of asset
classes. It has already applied to the Hong Kong Securities and
Futures Commission for a licence.
The new team comes from two strategy groups at Daewoo -
focused on equity and multi-asset strategy, respectively - that
have traded internal capital for the firm in Hong Kong with
excellent returns for a number of years. The equity team had
two portfolio managers while the multi-asset team had one, all
of whom will migrate to South Mountain.
Prior to Cosmo, Sull founded and ran Oojoo Capital Partners,
which ran a largely directional long/short Asian equity fund
with a bias towards Korea, as well as having exposure in Japan,
Taiwan, Singapore and Thailand. Before Oojoo, Sull managed over
$2 billion in long-only portfolios at Morgan Stanley Investment
Management in Singapore.
South Mountain is understood to have taken an office at the
swanky IFC building in Hong Kong's central business district
and appointed Goldman Sachs as its sole prime broker.
Will other pension funds follow CalPERS out of hedge funds?

I commend the PV Town Council for this decision. I grocery shop almost daily and have a collection of reusable bags that make the trip to the market with me, loaded at point of sale, unloaded at home and then returned to the car for yet another shopping trip. Keeping a supply in the car means I have them when I shop at non-grocery retailers as well. So many stores sell, at a convenient price, reusable bags, that it's very easy to get in the habit of always having one on hand or take advantage of purchasing one that can be used again.

SEI offers its Work-Traders a credit equivalent to $15/ hour for each hour worked. You can trade up to 100% of the tuition of each class.

The Denison ISD and the city's water plant were closed Tuesday due to the water situation caused by last night's storms, but officials say the water is back on in Denison.
Public works officials say around 80% of city water customers had restored water pressute this morning. Full production was restores around 3 p.m. Tuesday.
The City of Denison Water Plant has issued an emergency water shortage notice.
The water plant experienced a power failure around 9 o'clock last night, which prevents treatment or transport of water to the city.
That power failure came due to a lighting strike at the plant during Monday night's storm.
""We were very close. Ii told the council members that they probably were going to run out of water. We thought we'd be out of water by 5:30 or 6 this morning, but fortunately I guess the use was a little low, so we were able to survive," said Denison city manager Larry Cruise.

Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit. SP1.
Chrome version 6 annoyances
Firefox is my favorite web browser, but ever since I read about Chrome doing a better job of internally sandboxing websites, I use it more and more.
There are multiple benefits to the internal isolation Chrome provides. For one thing, it makes it harder for malicious code in one page/tab to gain access to other pages in other tabs. Also, a looping script in one tab, does not lock out the entire browser. And, crashes in plug-ins are dealt with cleanly and don't crash the entire browser, something Firefox just started to implement.
As with all Windows software, my preference is for the portable edition, available at portableapps.com, because, as a rule, I much prefer portable software.
However, Chrome is the worst behaved portable application I've ever used. The biggest issue is that it doesn't self-update, a problem that is not new with version 6 (two other problems, confined to the portable edition, are described below).
Update: According to the reader comment below from John T. Haller of PortapleApps.com, "Chrome's updater is not a part of Chrome itself, but rather an OS-level piece (unlike Firefox's) and it's closed source..."The failure to self-update prompted a recent posting on this blog when a portable edition of Chrome continued to use an older version of Flash after a new version was installed.

Windows 7 Ultimate x86
I run a portable Chrome from here: Cashi's Blog. It's a german version (but if you delete all language.dlls except for the english one, it falls back to english). It comes with its own updater (which essentially is a compiled AutoIT script) and lets you update from
Release Channel, Beta Channel, Dev Channel or from Chromium. Since it updates from the official sources, I trust that it"s identical to the Install version of chrome (at least in terms of plugins)
I used this one since version 4.xx because the data mining issues had been removed.
I'm not 100% sure if I installed that manually or if it came with this Flash version...about: plugins tells me
Flash (2 files) - Version: 10.1.82.76
Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82
which is supposedly the newest version.
If anyone would like to give it a try and has any problem downloading it, just drop me a line and I'll upload it to any OCH (One Click Hoster

The silent update in Chrome is great until something breaks. But that doesn't seem to be often. Worst problem so far has been bookmark related. Favicon loss and/or bookmark dupes. Other than that the dev channel seems to honk.

The University of Virginia says Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's investigation of a former professor's climate change research is flawed and shouldn't be allowed under the state fraud act.
The school filed a brief Tuesday about Cuccinelli's inquiry of whether Michael Mann defrauded taxpayers by seeking state funds for his research. Mann left UVA in 2005 and now works at Pennsylvania State University.
Cuccinelli dismisses assertions that manmade gasses are causing the planet to warm. The Republican is seeking documents on five grants relating to global-warming research by Mann.
UVA says the investigation oversteps requirements of the fraud act and compliance would be burdensome.
Cuccinelli's office will respond to the brief next month, with a hearing scheduled in August.

The first metamaterial superconductor: One step closer to futuristic physics-defying contraptions August 22, 2014 at 11:59 am
In the realms of electronics, magnetism, and quantum mechanics, superconductivity has an almost mythical status. Some materials, when cooled to a critical temperature, electrical resistance instantly drops to zero and magnetic fields are completely ejected. Superconducting magnets are already used in MRI machines and particle accelerators like CERN's LHC, and are being considered for advanced maglev trains. Zero electrical resistance means that a current can flow around a superconducting coil indefinitely (at least 100,000 years) without any applied voltage — a feature that could completely revolutionize power distribution, power storage, electric motors, computers, and more.

It's like staring 'into a black hole': World's darkest material will be used to make very stealthy aircraft, better telescopes July 14, 2014 at 9:26 am
At a nondescript industrial park in south England, scientists have created a new super-black material — fashioned out of carbon nanotubes — that is so dark it's like "looking at a black hole." The material, called Vantablack, absorbs all but 0.035% of the incident light that bounces off it, meaning your eyes essentially can't see it — you can only see the space around it, and then infer that there must be something occupying that eerie abyss. Vantablack's first customers are in the defense and space sectors, where the material can be used to make a whole variety of stealth craft and weaponry, and more sensitive telescopes that can detect the faintest of faraway stars.

Brown: Parking meter swap nothing to brag about — but something to accept
BY MARK BROWN June 3, 2013 7:37PM
Updated: July 5, 2013 2:41PM
Mayor Rahm Emanuel's plan to get political mileage from a revamped Chicago parking meter contract by swapping longer hours for free Sundays falls under the category of too cute by half.
But if I were an alderman, all things considered, I'd vote for the deal Wednesday — assuming I didn't represent one of the handful of wards singled out for extra gouging by Emanuel's proposal.
On Monday, Emanuel's team put the finishing touches on a convincing case that the deal they struck is too good to take a chance on screwing it up if negotiators were instructed to try again without the free Sunday parking.
The agreement eliminates a potential $1 billion exposure the city now faces from claims at issue in a pending arbitration with Chicago Parking Meters LLC.
If the city lost the arbitration, might the eventual award end up being something that costs less than the full $1 billion? Quite possibly, but even it only saves the city a half billion, there's no sense taking that risk.
I'm no fan of the free Sunday parking swap, which comes at the expense of those who will be stuck paying an extra hour the rest of the week everywhere that the meters now stop at 9 p.m.—and two more hours on top of that in River North and Streeterville. It plays one set of parkers (voters) off against another.
It's a political gimmick intended to give Emanuel cover for all his tough talk that might have led some to believe he had a real solution to the meter debacle he inherited from Rich Daley.
Plus, as testimony Monday from a Lakeview business leader again made clear, the free Sundays could prove short-lived in many neighborhoods as aldermen come under pressure to restore meter collections to help create turnover of on-street parking spaces.
Unfortunately, the city can't remove the Sunday swap altogether from the settlement agreement without opening up the whole deal to further negotiation. There's bound to be something in the agreement giving Chicago Parking Meters second thoughts as well. The downside of free Sunday parking doesn't outweigh that.
Over the last several weeks, city Corporation Counsel Stephen Patton and Chief Financial Officer Lois Scott have made this point over and over while deftly defending Emanuel's parking deal in public hearings and private meetings with aldermen.
Patton may be the smoothest operator before the City Council of anybody I have ever seen in his position, and that covers a lot of good lawyers.
He has told the aldermen that if there was a legal means to nullify the parking meter contract, he would have embraced it, and I believe him. Nothing would have made Emanuel happier than to be the guy who saved Chicagoans from the hated parking meters.
On Monday, Patton and Scott buttressed their case with a surprise outside review of the parking meter settlement agreement conducted by Navigant, a Chicago-based consulting company.
The Navigant study was intended to provide the independent "second opinion" that several aldermen had sought. While it's not quite what the alderman wanted — they had no say in shaping what the consultants studied — it helped satisfy my lingering doubts over whether Chicago Parking Meters would realize another windfall from extending meter hours at night.
The consultants say it won't. In fact, they say the city should make out slightly better than it had projected in the trade for free Sunday parking.
The last thing I want to do here is undercut the effort by a small group of aldermen who have taken the lead in holding Emanuel's feet to the fire on the parking meter deal. I'm talking mainly about Scott Waguespack (32nd), Brendan Reilly (42nd), Ameya Pawar (47th), John Arena (45th) and Robert Fioretti (2nd).
The work they have put into analyzing the mayor's proposal is exactly the approach Chicagoans should be able to regularly expect from members of the City Council, unlike those who endorsed the agreement within 24 hours of receiving the actual documents for the first time.
In this case, though, they haven't come up with anything to show me that the flaws in Emanuel's approach outweigh the importance of limiting the city's losses under the original odious contract.

A baseline eye exam is recommended at age 40, when the signs of disease and changes in vision may start to occur.
Spending time outdoors is one of summer's delights. Now, eye research suggests it may also be a key to our eye health, as long as we avoid over-exposure to sunlight. Although spending too much time outdoors without protection from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) light can damage eyes and skin, new studies show that natural light may be essential for normal eye development in kids.
Encouraging children to spend more time outdoors may be a simple and cost-effective way to improve their vision as well as general health, according to several recent studies. They add to the growing evidence that spending time outdoors may lower the risk of nearsightedness in children and adolescents. Nearsightedness is more common today in the United States and many other countries than it was in the 1970s.
One of the new studies showed that for each additional hour children spent outdoors per week, their risk of being nearsighted dropped by about two percent. Nearsighted children in this study spent on average 3.7 fewer hours per week outdoors than those who either had normal vision or were farsighted. The study investigated whether children who logged more outdoor time also spent less time performing near work, such as playing computer games or studying, but no such relationship was found.
A second study found that when schoolchildren were required to spend 80 minutes of recess time outdoors every day, fewer of them became nearsighted when compared to children who were not required to spend recess outdoors. Another study, with Danish children, was the first to show that the rate of eye growth varies in relation to exposure to daylight. This is important, because if the eye grows too long, as measured from front to back, the child will be nearsighted. The children's eyes grew normally during the long days of summer in Denmark, but grew too fast during the short days of winter.
Though researchers don't yet know exactly why outdoor time is beneficial, they think it's probably related to exposure to daylight rather than to playing sports or other specific activities.
At this time, scientists think that UV light is not needed for normal eye development. So, they think kids can gain the eye health benefits and other pluses of playing outdoors and at the same time protect their eyes from long-term UV damage. Just make sure they wear UV-blocking sunglasses and hats when out in the sun. This goes for teens and young adults, as well.
Future studies are planned to learn more about how time outdoors supports healthy vision. Questions include whether time spent on near work should be limited, and whether there are factors—like parents' attitudes, access to safe playgrounds, or others—that may result in nearsighted children spending less time outdoors. More research is also needed to explain how much of the outdoor time benefit comes from daylight exposure and how much from exercising distance vision, since both of these may be key factors in preventing nearsightedness.
