WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA/AP) -- A record number of people cast their ballots early across the country and here in the District. Early voters stood in long lines at polling places for the last day of early voting in D.C.
On Sunday, District of Colombia elections officials reported that more than 52,000 residents voted early, according AP.
Byron Buck was waiting in the long lines, "I want to make sure my vote is counted. We are committed to vote so we're going to wait."
Jennifer Hubble was also prepared for the 90-minute wait, "I just got in line. I've never seen it like this before ever."
Depending on the precinct, some voters had minimal wait times.
The District's Board of Elections doubled up on the machines and opened polling places in each of the eight wards with extended hours.
Board of Elections Executive Director Clifford Tatum says D.C. hasn't had early voting in a presidential election before. They started early voting in 2010 with four polling places, 15 percent voted early then.

Pop culture is rife with stories of people who blame their negative childhood experiences for their incapacity to stay within relationships or marriages, from the fictional serial killer Dexter who felt it impossible to connect to anyone to Jennifer Aniston's announcement that her experience of her parents' divorce made her wary of interpersonal intimacy. But are these mere pop psychology incarnations or are children who experienced traumas any likelier to experience certain marital troubles as adults?
Whisman's (2006) study on childhood traumas looked at seven different childhood traumas: physical abuse, rape, sexual molestation, serious physical attack, experiences of being threatened with a weapon, life threatening accident, and natural disasters; and the effect of these on marital disruption and marital satisfaction. Physical abuse, rape, and sexual molestation were associated with higher probability of marital dissolution. Lower marital satisfaction was associated with individuals who had experienced rape or sexual molestation. Traumas with assaultive violence, or those where another person directly harmed the child were more likely to be associated with marital disruption and dissatisfaction, as these are seen to be more likely to lead to attachment insecurity (characterized by avoidance, lack of trust) which may then lead to lower marital stability.

Utah state parks saw a decline in visitation last year, particularly at parks with lakes and reservoirs.
Despite open boat ramps and adequate water levels during most of last season, boaters, anxious about drought concerns, stayed away.
Boaters should take advantage of good conditions and water levels now.
"State water managers are doing an excellent job of educating Utahns about the drought and conservation needs, which we fully support," stated state boating coordinator, Ted Woolley. "However, we believe drought concerns are keeping boaters away unnecessarily."
"Twenty-one state park boat launch ramps were open through Labor Day last year," reported Woolley. "Boaters should check with us throughout the season for current boat launch conditions, which we plan to update weekly."
Boaters are reminded and strongly encouraged to wear personal floatation devices. National statistics indicate that over 400 people who drowned in boating accidents last year would have survived if they wore a floatation device.
A boating accident can happen at any time when someone is on the water. New inflatable lifejackets are available that are less bulky and more comfortable than traditional models.
Utah state parks is not just about boating. The agency operates parks and museums statewide hosting a wide variety of art exhibits, hands-on craft seminars, golf, guided hikes, historic re-enactments, and events for the entire family throughout the year.
State parks and recreation is the state's official recreation authority, administering and enforcing the state boating and off-highway vehicle programs, operating three golf courses, and managing 41 state parks and museums statewide.
For more information on launch conditions on major boating waters, please contact the state parks department at 801-538-7220. The department also has an Internet website at www.stateparks.utah.gov.

Juliet R.HairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairWonderfulI really liked this. It comes with a MILLION pins. I usually go through a 60 card in a month because I use bobby pins every day and the ones I used to buy often broke. But this lasted me a little over a year and the pins did not break at all. The cards were about $3. So I was spending $36 for a year when I could of been spending $20. I know its not that much of a difference but sometimes the 60 cards are a lot more then that, like around $5. All in all, this is a better investment because it will last you well over a year and the pins are very sturdy. Also, if your a hair dresser, then this is always good to have at your work station. I keep mine under my desk in a basket so that I can fill up the little dish on my desk with pins. It also limited my urgent need to run to the store with my hair in a hat every few weeks when I run out of pins. I would recommend this to anyone.9 out of 13 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Comments about Hohner 3002 Ariette Folk/Cajun Accordion:
I have one just like it in black for years and loved it but this not so good leaks air around the buttons and one button sticks all the time.
Comments about Hohner 3002 Ariette Folk/Cajun Accordion:
Overall a good buy to learn cajun accordion on. I also enjoy using harmonica tab for it as I was able to determine which buttons go with wich hole on the harmonica so it is fun to play with. The bellows is the big thing that may be an issue as it is stiff and when you have all the stops open I find I don't have enough air to complete full phrases without having to use the air button and open the bellows. Could be I am not yet skilled enough of a player to manage, or could be the instrument itself. I suspect it is actually a little of both.
Has all you need to get started, however the bellows are stiff and don't hold as much air as would be required to be effective with all the stops open.
It is a standard student level instrument, not the best but acceptable for learning
Great to learn on for the price

I'm jimi izrael, MFA. I dropped out of high school and struggled through undergrad, but I eventually figured it out, kinda. We all do.
Professionally, I write, for close to fifteen years. Books. Essays. Screenplays. Speeches. I ghost write occasionally. There is more on-deck, e.g "MurderMouse: Mutant/Student/Killer-for-Hire," "#Popcorn" and #conversationforadults. Also, the film adaptation of my book is in development by an A-list Hollywood director/producer.
So I got THAT going for me.
I teach at Cleveland State University, Lakeland Community College and Cuyahoga Community College, where I am the Artist in Residence, a tremendous privilege that is humbling, embarrassing and gratifying all at once. I am a Presidential Fellow at Case Western Reserve University, where I teach a couple seminars. I stay busy-ish.
I win awards for editing, investigative and consumer reporting. But it is safe to say that, despite my other chops, I am mainly paid to give my opinion. I write for some of your favorite media outlets.
I am a National Public Radio contributor for ten years in some form, most recently as the co-moderator for "The Barbershop" segment of NPR's "Tell Me More with Michel Martin," during its entire 7-year run. I contribute commentary, appearances and such to CNN, CSPAN, Fox News, Al Jazeera, BBC, Current TV, ABC's "Nightline" and a few other radio and cable outfits. Also, I am the Harvey Pekar Scholar. I have other accolades, credentials and stuff that, in aggregate, are interesting but of little consequence.
I take myself just seriously enough, though.
Personally, I am a father and widower who loves a good story.
I don't have a searchable Facebook presence intentionally, but there is a jimi izrael Facebook fan-page I monitor and program sometimes. I am not the principal curator there. I have a Twitter account that I don't use much. You probably should not post any personal messages there or anywhere, if you expect me to answer. The best ways to contact jimi izrael are by email at jimiizrael at gmail dot com and by phone at two one six, two three six, three nine seven five. I generally answer all my own calls, email and such. That's right -- you can call me, if you want.
I lecture on hip-hop culture, popular media, film, journalism and stuff.
I will do a FAQ, but in the meantime, just ask.

CANTON Newton Falls Fine Paper has paid a former president more than $162,000 in settlement from his termination as an outside consultant.
State Supreme Court Justice David R. Demarest determined that Dennis R. Bunnell, Eastham, Mass., was due $98,567.23 plus interest, $40,000 in attorneys fees and nearly $5,000 for erroneous billing to his credit card for satellite television for one of the mills guest buildings.
In what Mr. Bunnell termed retaliatory, several months after he started legal action, Newton Falls directed the third party administrator of its group health insurance plan to terminate coverage for Mr. Bunnell and his wife, Kathleen N., even though he was paying the premiums.
There is no dispute that the termination occurred before the expiration of the required period of coverage, according to legal documents filed with the St. Lawrence County clerks office.
The health insurance was later reinstated.
Under Mr. Bunnells direction, Newton Falls Fine Paper reopened in 2007 after a seven-year shutdown.
I put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into getting that mill up and running, Mr. Bunnell said.
He became an outside consultant in June 2009 under an agreement that he would work 18 months for the benefit of the company in exchange for an annual rate of $220,000, a car allowance and other benefits. Either party could terminate the agreement at any time but Newton Falls Fine Paper would continue to make payments to Mr. Bunnell for the remainder of the 18-month term as severance.
It was clear on the face of the contract what rights I had, Mr. Bunnell said. They just chose not to honor it. I really dont know the answer to why.
In 2010, Mr. Bunnell took a job to help reopen St. Marys Paper in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. In court papers, Mr. Bunnell said he had assurances from Scott C. Travers, then the president of Newton Falls Fine Paper, that the job would not affect his payments, a contention denied by Mr. Travers.
Two days after Mr. Bunnell accepted the job, Newton Falls Fine Paper terminated the consulting agreement and ceased payments.
The company claimed that St. Marys was similar to its business because it had announced plans for a cogeneration project like the one being worked on at Newton Falls. Neither company ever obtained approvals to operate a cogenerator.
Newton Falls also argued that St. Marys might compete for some of the same market even though Newton Falls was making coated free sheet used in books and catalogs and St. Marys was going to produce a lower quality paper typically used as newspaper inserts.
Mr. Travers argued in legal documents that all paper companies are substantially similar and essentially in competition with each other but Judge Demarest determined the agreement did not contain a wholesale restriction prohibiting Mr. Bunnells employment in the pulp and paper industry.
Mr. Bunnell also claimed $4,899.51 for a four-year period in which his credit card was wrongly billed for satellite television and Internet service for which the company refused to reimburse him.

OGDENSBURG A former Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center employee has been sent to prison for health care fraud after he lied about his qualifications to practice medicine.
Fitzgerald A. Hudson, 53, Dearborn Heights, Mich., was sentenced last week in U.S. District Court, Buffalo, to two years in prison and three years of supervised release. He also was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $227,548.35.
Mr. Hudson was convicted of illegally practicing medicine from 2008 to 2010. He worked in the Claxton-Hepburn emergency room for several months in 2008 until he resigned under threat of firing for providing substandard care, including allowing a patient with chest pains and abnormal electrocardiogram readings to go untreated for hours. However, Mr. Hudson later told another employer he left the job because of a long commute.
Claxton-Hepburn officials have been unavailable for comment.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron J. Mango, who handled the case, said that weeks after leaving Ogdensburg, Mr. Hudson submitted an application and was accepted to work as a doctor in the Emergency Department at Jones Memorial Hospital in Wellsville, Allegany County, with his employer billing Medicare and insurance companies for services he was not qualified to provide. The state revoked his medical license in 2010.
In his application, Mr. Hudson asserted that he had earned a medical degree from York University in Ontario, that he never voluntarily had withdrawn or resigned any employment or privileges at any health-care facility in order to avoid the imposition of disciplinary measures and that he never had been denied or suspended from any health-care facility.
In fact, Mr. Hudson did not have a degree from York. Moreover, in addition to being forced out of Claxton-Hepburn, he had been suspended from his duties as a resident and dismissed from the residency program because of academic incompetence at the Warren Hospital Family Practice Residency Program in Phillipsburg, N.J.
The government presented evidence that, while employed at Jones Memorial Hospital, Mr. Hudson treated a 5-year-old child who died shortly thereafter. That case is the subject of an ongoing wrongful death civil lawsuit in state court.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A call for a discussion on cat licensing in the city of Buffalo.
Ellicott District Councilmember Darius Pridgen, says he's received several calls and emails from residents concerned about stray cats in their neighborhood.
He says because there is no ordinance, agencies aren't sure which cats are strays and which cats are pets. Pridgen filed a resolution about the issue.
"We don't want to wait until there's a big problem. We have a growing cat population that is not being cared for in a home and we need to deal with that before it gets even worse," said Pridgen.
He adds he wants to hear from residents before moving forward.

POTSDAM Route 11 activists involved with YESEleven continued their attempt to capitalize on the recent fervor surrounding transportation in the north country with a call for the village board to unite with other municipalities to study highway improvements.
The governor has ratcheted up the issue of transportation in his State of the State, and then buttressed it with his budget, YESeleven spokesman Richard Grover told trustees Monday.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo called for $2.5 million to study transportation in the north country. It initially appeared this money would be used to examine the possibility of creating a long-advocated rooftop highway, which YESEleven opposes. However, later clarifications stated the study will instead look at the possibility of bypasses on Route 11.
Mr. Grover urged Potsdam, Canton and the surrounding communities to unite and study the issues facing Route 11 for themselves, rather than leaving the fate of the transportation corridor in the hands of the state.
I like to put the horse before the cart. Lets do our local planning, Mr. Grover said.
The village of Canton has already approved a resolution asking the St. Lawrence County Planning Board to study the issue, and Mr. Grover asked Potsdam to do the same.
This is certainly an issue that the village board will take up and consider, said Mayor Steven W. Yurgartis, suggesting that the issue will probably come to a vote at the boards next meeting Feb. 18.
Trustee Eleanor F. Hopke suggested that the towns and villages of Canton and Potsdam meet together to draft a single resolution, rather than passing four similar resolutions separately.
In other business, the board officially annexed 31.3 acres of land on Country Lane belonging to Lloyd Vienneau from the town, and zoned it as B-1 multi-use property.
The official annexation is mostly a formality, finalizing an agreement reached in November.
Mr. Vienneau requested annexation into the village after a five-year struggle with contaminated well water at Country Lanes Apartments. He believes the problem was caused by the construction of the nearby Lowes Home Improvement Store.
He began receiving village water soon after the town and village initially approved the annexation.
We took care of his water issue. Weve still got to do his sewer in the spring, said village administrator David H. Fenton.

The latest hybrid hammer hucker.
Special issue for Restricted, the Custom with NEW Camber Humps introduces the latest evolution in Springloaded hybrid performance. Taking the loose and playful feel of rocker, Camber Humps add aggressive power to the mix for a ride that leans towards the camber side of the spectrum. Full contact zones between and outside the feet deliver high-speed stability. The snappy suspension of camber is focused underfoot for pre-loaded pop. Rocker at the tip and tail adds the necessary float and catch-free feel.

42 U.S. Code § 2000bb - Congressional findings and declaration of purposes
prev | next
(a) Findings
The Congress finds that—
(1) the framers of the Constitution, recognizing free exercise of religion as an unalienable right, secured its protection in the First Amendment to the Constitution;
(2) laws "neutral" toward religion may burden religious exercise as surely as laws intended to interfere with religious exercise;
(3) governments should not substantially burden religious exercise without compelling justification;
(4) in Employment Division v. Smith, 494 U.S. 872 (1990) the Supreme Court virtually eliminated the requirement that the government justify burdens on religious exercise imposed by laws neutral toward religion; and
(b) Purposes
The purposes of this chapter are—
(1) to restore the compelling interest test as set forth in Sherbert v. Verner, 374 U.S. 398 (1963) and Wisconsin v. Yoder, 406 U.S. 205 (1972) and to guarantee its application in all cases where free exercise of religion is substantially burdened; and

|Ashe county man killed in standoff with police
|Written by Richard Anderson
|Tuesday, 20 November 2012 12:15
At approximately 11:00 pm Monday, November 19, deputies from the Ashe County Sheriff's Office, along with a West Jefferson Police officer, responded to a report of a subject shooting from a residence on the Gaither Poe Road in the Laurel Springs area of Ashe County.
On arrival at the scene, the officers encountered a white male armed with a rifle and scope. The officers identified themselves, and ordered the man to put down his weapon. Subject refused to comply, and began pointing the weapon at the officers. Officers fired their weapons, striking and killing the subject. Two officers from the Ashe County Sheriff's Office and one officer from the West Jefferson Police Department have been placed on administrative leave with pay pending the completion of the investigation being conducted by the State Bureau of Investigation. The name of the deceased subject is being withheld at this time, pending notification of the next of kin.

As a baby, Buddy crawls into Santa's toy bag and is whisked off to the North Pole, where he is raised as an elf. A misfit who grows to be three times the size of his elf family, Buddy ultimately heads to his birthplace of New York City to seek out his roots. Unfortunately, they turn out to be a "Scrooge"-like father and a cynical ten-year-old stepbrother who doesn't believe in Santa. Worst of all, everyone seems to have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. But using his simple elf ways, Buddy sets out to single-handedly win over his family and save Christmas in New York, hoping to at last find his true place in the world.

For Archivists and Government Officials
Information On:
Tennessee State Government Publications
From the Arts Commission to the Wildlife Resources Agency, Tennessee's government agencies provide timely and pertinent data and information to the public. Agencies produce these publications as a public record of its activities. State publications can be a tool for government accountability if Tennessee's citizens read them. Collectively, the archive of these documents record Tennessee's history, natural resources, socioeconomic condition, culture, and quality of life. For a helpful list of all state agencies, please see the Department and Agencies list on the the tn.gov website.
Search our library catalog for Tennessee State Publications here.
Search our collection of electronically-archived Tennessee State Agency websites here.
What is a Publication?
"Publications" take many forms and contain diverse types of information. A publication could be an agency's annual report, a transportation plan to provide service to your town, a research report on Tennessee's schools, or a directory of county officials. Although agencies are increasingly using the Internet to publish this information for you, many continue to produce printed paper documents. Budget-conscious agencies often print small quantities of their publications; it might be difficult to obtain your own copy.
Finding Tennessee Government publications
TSLA makes Tennessee's state documents freely available to the public. Records of TSLA's collection of state documents can be accessed through our online catalog. Some of these catalog records also include links to their electronic, online versions. Materials published in tangible formats (i.e. books, pamphlets, and CDs) are available for use at TSLA during business hours.
Finding online, electronic Tennessee Government publications
Many materials published by State Agencies are available through the Agency's website. Many of these Agency websites have been archived through the Web archiving tool, Archive-It, and are accessible via the Internet. A list of those agencies and links to their live and archived pages can be found here. Many electronic State publications can be located by searching or browsing through these archived websites.
State Depository Libraries
Six libraries located across the state have been designated depositories for Tennessee government publications in order to provide citizens access to their information. You can find links to their online catalogs and documents department contact information on the list of Tennessee Depository System Libraries. The librarians at East Tennessee State University (ETSU) have worked hard to create records for Tennessee State documents. Even if you are not geographically close to ETSU, you can use their online catalog to identify hard-to-find publications.
The Law
Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Title 12 Section 6 establishes TSLA and other libraries as depositories for government publications. This section also defines the responsibility of government agencies to provide the depositories copies of their publications for use by the public.
TCA § 12-6-107. Libraries as depositories for documents - Legislative library - Copies.
TCA § 12-6-110. Copies to depositories, secretary of state, and other locations.

Looks like Iowa's way to get out of the series, just like the sixties and seventies.
If there afraid to play us then let them out. Iowa knows the only way they can be successful is to play only teams they know they can beat in the non conference and then play a soft schedule in the over rated Big X.
We don't need Iowa on our schedule to be successful. If were too tough for them then let them take their ball and go home with their tail between their legs.
Let them go, start up a rivarly with Minn or Wisconsin. What a bunch of cry babies, how many extra tickets did they give ISU fans last year???? Screw them.
more smack talk, I love it.
32 years later and I am still riding on the back.
I don't sweat the petty things,... I pet the sweaty things
Actually, ISU charging the $90 a ticket favors the U of Iowa because they would get more money than if ISU charged $65 a ticket because Iowa takes 20% of the gate. Supposedly, only 4000 Iowa fans bought tickets (unless they bought season tickets), so it's really the ISU fans that are picking up the tab.
Plus most people would have to buy a ticket for around the $90 a ticket from a scalper anyways.
By my calculations 50,000 tickets x $25 ($90-$65) per ticket x 20%=$250,000 more for Iowa*
*Rough calculations not sure how actual contract and finances are figured, state taxes not included

Call Iowa afraid, call them anything but the $90 thing and the mandatory season tix deal have ruffled some feathers big time.
I am an I-club member and at an August event this very topic came up..I saw some big donors voicing their opinion on this series...if they have any pull things don't look good. Just about every Iowa Fan that I know does not want to play ISU anymore.
As an Iowa Fan I personally see our rivalry with Minny a much bigger deal...But of course It might be because I don't hate ISU like many Iowa fans do..
Rumors are that if Krause pressures enough it will be over..But honestly do you guys really want to play Iowa EVERY year?/// Why not every other year.

this rivalry is in jeaporday...Many people thing that there is a State Law that requires the series....that is simply untrue.
I'm sorry, but Iowa fans act as if they have some form of entitlement to buy tickets at a price they believe is acceptable. They don't have to go to the game if it is so objectionable.
You have to be pretty arrogant to feel that you have the right to set prices and ticket policies at someone else's stadium. This type of response reminds me of a spoiled child that doesn't get their way.
Personally I,m sick of all Iowa fans whining and excuses so I wouldn't care if we didn't play every year, but let it be known that Iowa and their fans wanted out of this series not ISU.
Good bye Iowa..... I really don't care about this game. Its good for ISU economics, but I really could care less anymore about that. Lets get MN on the schedule. I am fed up with this week. Nothing but complete Hawkeye garbage.
Lets see if I can channel a typical Iowa fan (listening to Cotler this morning... Should be easy)
Oh..... The hawks rule... We always win. We are expected to win, nothing to gain.
Jamie charges us too much. We should get in cheap.. only 49,000 tickets sold. We deserve to get in. We are royalty.
I don't hate the Hawks but during this week..... You get the biggest idoits of both sides making it no fun.
GDMCC Member follow us on twitter @dmcyclub
I wouldn't want to play a team that has a winning record over the last 10 years against my team in the non-conference either.
mt85 is right on. Pollard sets the rules when the game is in Ames. The last time I checked, Pollard worked for ISU boosters/fans and not EIU. As a booster, I expect him to make decisions that elevate our program regardless of how EIU's arrogant and unreasonable fans accept his decisions.
I would love it if we dropped the EIU game simply because the outcome does not have an affect on dealing with EIU fans. When we win, the blind arrogance of EIU fans never lets them accept the fact that ISU has a better team. Even with a 23-3 loss, they were finding excuses.
This part I love:
The current contract favors Iowa State, if only because Iowa has almost 15,000 more seats at Kinnick Stadium. Following the 2004 game, Iowa State took home $583,935. After last year's game, Iowa paid Iowa State $593,103. Both of those games were played in Iowa City.
ISU paid Iowa $386,914.17 after the 2005 game in Ames.
How can this favor ISU??? What did the UofI take from the IC game in 2004 versus what ISU took in the 2003 game? Because the 20% payout is higher, it also means the 80% take is higher.... geezzz... what kind of math are we using??!!
The first and best victory is to conquer self; to be conquered by self is of all things most shameful and vile. - Plato

THe point is Many including some big boosters ARE finding it objectionable...and instead of following your advice about not going to the game they are taking it a step further by wanting the series cancelled.
Barta has been very close to the vest on the contractual issues...there has been considerable buzz about the Tickets around this years game and the unfairness of the current contract...this has fanned the flames by Iowa fans to start barking about ending the series. It is nothing new..Iowa fans have been talking for quite awhile about changing the series or outright ending it.
I have heard ISU fans mention the same thing.

Molina Healthcare honored local volunteer Mae Aguayo for her leadership and service at the sixth annual Community Champions Awards Event at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center.
"What makes Mae an inspiration to us all is her selflessness and drive to always keep on giving," said Chad Westover, president of Molina Healthcare Utah. "She continuously gives to everyone, extending love and compassion to all those she touches."
On top of working as a clerk for the Southeastern Utah Health Department, Aguayo organizes fundraisers for families in need of medical equipment, recently holding a fundraiser for a young man in need of a wheelchair.
She offers workshops for parents of special needs children on topics like the ABC's of Autism, neurological disorders and ADHD. But Aguayo doesn't stop there, she also cares for children that have been removed from their home until foster care is arranged and for children whose parents are in need of respite care.
Established to honor the memory of Molina Healthcare's founder Dr. C. David Molina, the Community Champions award program spotlights the good deeds of everyday heroes in their communities. Molina Healthcare has been hosting the Community Champions Awards for seven years in the states that it operates. The winners are nominated by community-based organizations and they also receive $1,000 grants to give to deserving nonprofit organizations as part of their award. Aguayo presented her grant to Family Support & Justice Center.

Rail service from Portland to Brunswick on Amtrak's Downeaster is now nearly six months old. For one stop on that route, the retail destination of Freeport, this has been something of a boon, bringing even more visitors to the town, without any increase in automobile traffic. But there's a downside. Tom Porter reports.
A railroad crossing in Freeport, where residents are expressing concern about noise from the Downeaster train.
"The noise issue is a specific concern for people here who live in the village area," says Freeport Town Manager Peter Joseph. Joseph says there are now a handful of rail crossings in the center of town, at which the trains are required to sound their horns.
"The people who live right along the tracks have been having a lot of trouble with the noise," he says. "And we've gotten a lot of complaints, and the town councilors have got a lot complaints, from residents in that district."
Tom Porter: "Isn't that part of the deal, though, when you have a train come through, you get positive things - economic benefits - but they have to sound their horn?"
Peter Joseph: "That's one of the things that's been said by people who don't live on the tracks."
Joseph says up to 150 local residents have turned up at council meetings recently to complain. But it's not just the town's permanent residents who are affected, it's the businesses as well.
"The train from the Downeaster, it's going by about six times a day, and obviously every time it goes by we hear it throughout the entire hotel," says Josh Cushing, the manager of Freeport's Hilton Garden Inn. "We're sitting between two street crossings, Bow Street and School Street, so each time it crosses, obviously, it's blowing its horn and they're required to do so."
Cushing says many guests actually like the sound of a train going by, but some don't. Especially when the early Brunswick train passes through at 6:30 on Saturday morning. The hotel has spent $1,500 on individually-packaged sleep kits, available for any guest who may be troubled by noise.
"The kits include some earplugs, sort of commercial grade if you will; room and pillow spray - it's a lavender scent - to help guests relax, as well as a little sleep mask," Cushing says.
But more than sleep masks and earplugs, some residents of Freeport are hoping that the town be designated as a quiet zone - meaning the train would not need to sound its horn at each crossing. Town Manager Peter Joseph says the train operator - in this case Pan Am Railways - will first have to be convinced that no train whistle is needed.
"The problem here is there are measures that the town may have to undertake to bring the safety level up to where it was with a train whistle," Joseph says.
That could could mean installing hefty barriers at each crossing, to replace the smaller ones currently in place, at a cost of up to $800,000 each. The town would also have to submit up-to-date daily traffic data for each of the crossings, which should be completed by June.
After that, Joseph says the town should be able to make a final decision on what it needs to do - and what it can afford to do - to become a quiet zone.
Meanwhile not everyone living alongside the tracks is bothered by the train noise. "So far I haven't had a problem with it - it's just a few blasts, doesn't cause too much trouble," says Andrew Davis, who moved to the area a couple of months ago with his wife and two young children.
Davis says his 4-year old daughter actually looks forward to the train - "runs to watch it every time it goes by," he says.
And just two doors down is Catherine Cunningham, who has lived there for 34 years. "It doesn't bother us at all," she says. "It might if it starts running during the night."
Which might happen in the not-too-distant future, following the recent approval of a $12 million train layover facility in Brunswick.

The National Lawyers Guild and several organizations calling for human rights and for the rule of law in Palestine and Israel urge academic institutions to reaffirm their commitment to free and open campus debate.
A group of five trained and accredited election monitors from the NLG traveled to El Salvador to observe the first round of the 2014 Presidential elections. The delegates found that the recent electoral reforms supported by President Mauricio Funes facilitated a free and fair process that resulted in a transparent elections process.
On December 31, 2013, Judge John G. Koeltl granted the Bureau of Prisons' (BOP) request for the compassionate release of Lynne Stewart. This is heartening news. Ms. Stewart is 74 years old and has terminal cancer with a life expectancy of less than 18 months. She has been serving a ten-year sentence at the Federal Medical Center Carswell (FMC Carswell) in Fort Worth, Texas, in connection with her defense of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman.
The National Lawyers Guild (NLG) delegation of 17 credentialed international observers seriously question the validity of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal's (TSE) preliminary results of Sunday's national elections in Honduras.
On Sunday, November 24, 2013, a delegation of 18 members of the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) will serve as official international "accompaniers" to observe the presidential elections in Honduras.
Toronto—Lawyers from the National Lawyers Guild (U.S.), International Association of Democratic Lawyers, European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights (Germany), Brussells Tribunal (Belgium), International Initiative to Prosecute US Genocide in Iraq (Iraq, Egypt, Spain), Lawyers Against the War (Canada) and Rights International Spain (Spain) are urging Canada to either bar Dick Cheney from Canada – as a person credibly accused of torture – or to arrest and prosecute him on arrival, as required by the Convention against Torture. A letter from Lawyers Against the War (LAW) sent to Canada's Prime Minister, Attorney General and Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Immigration has been gravely ignored.
On September 23, the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) and four legal and human rights groups filed a petition before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) against the United States for severe human rights violations in the Puerto Rican island of Vieques. For over 60 years, the United States Navy bombed and used biological and chemical warfare on Vieques as part of its military practices, causing decades of continuous contamination of the land, sea and air. As a result of the Navy's actions, residents suffer disproportionately from diseases like cancer, hypertension, and respiratory illnesses. The Caribbean Institute for Human Rights (ICADH), the Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico, Western New England School of Law and the Alianza de Mujeres Viequenses joined the NLG on the brief.
The National Lawyers Guild, and several legal and social justice organizations, today called on Attorney General Eric Holder to direct the Bureau of Prisons to grant compassionate release to Lynne Stewart, whose medical condition continues to deteriorate.
NEW YORK – The National Lawyers Guild (NLG) calls on Congress to vote against the illegal strike on Syria being planned by the administration. NLG president Azadeh Shahshahani said, "The military intervention in Syria is undeniably illegal, and any supposed framework the Obama administration constructs to defend it is based, not upon legality, but upon impunity." The United States is once again poised to violate international and domestic law to impose its will.
Berkeley – Civil rights organizations this week welcomed news that the Department of Education's (DOE) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has closed three investigations against three University of California schools, at Berkeley, Santa Cruz, and Irvine, which falsely alleged that Palestinian rights activism created an anti-Semitic climate.

Shards Of The Glass Slipper: Queen Cinder
One Last Chance To Save Happily Ever After! Can a group of heroes, including Goldenhair, Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel, help General Snow White and her dwarven resistance fighters defeat the tyrannical Queen Cinderella? And will they succeed before a war with Wonderland destroys everything? Their only hope to stop Cinderella's quest for power lies with a young girl named Patience Muffet. She carries the fabled shards of Cinderella's glass slippers, as well as the dark secret of who murdered the last of the fairy godmothers. Roy A.Mauritsen's fantasy adventure fairy tale epic begins with Shards of the Glass Slipper: Queen Cinder
It was bound to happen, with pictures being worth what they are in words, that a successful creative artist would eventually entertain the idea of writing a novel. Roy's interests were somewhat atypical as a child. Aside from art and science, there were books and movies–science fiction and fantasy themed–and also role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, and a love of fairy tales that started at an early age with a dusty, 1941 hardcover edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Exploring every creative avenue available to him, Roy took every art class he could in school, and also any writing class, especially creative writing. Roy has received several awards in recognition of his artwork. But for this artist-turned-writer, the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" wasn't enough this time. There was a story to be told, and it demanded to be written. This fairy tale epic fantasy adventure is also the inspiration for Shards, a concept album that Roy collaborated on and the fourth studio release by the band Gene Pool Zombie.Find Roy around the web by following the links!

Dear friends, readers and that occasional Renuka Shahane admirer, welcome to the second edition of 'Tantanoo goes house-hunting in Chennai'. In the last episode, you read about my adventures with Sulekha. This episode begins with a riddle: duraipakamoppAKDRtowergrndflorfivehundredmfromOMR This was one of the clues on the Amazing Race – Shollinganallur Edition and as you might have guessed, it translates to "Thoraipakkam, Opposite AKDR Tower, Ground Floor, Five hundred meters from Old Mahabalipuram Road" (I think). With advertisements like these, I had almost given up on the interwebz. I had also never imagined that bachelorhood was going to be such a big hurdle in such an insignificant test in life. So I decided to give up on bachelorhood too. During this time, I also…6

For one, it is pretty sad that part of our national security couldn't even crack an encryption code, but god a key logger!
I used a key logger in high school to get my Algebra teachers password so I could bump up my grade a bit, I mean c'mon! Is that not the most pathetic attempt at security.
Hell, why not install a copy of pc anywhere and ask them to wait for connection before they type their password, that is about the equivalent.
The rights that they tread on as well are pretty disturbing. These people are innocent until proven guilty(so they say anyways) and that is a blatent impeadment on the right to privacy. Augh....I guess CIA is the ones with all the cool stuff, FBI is stuck with the open source key logger that you can download from any h/v/a/c site on the web......pathetic.

CARTHAGE The problem has been identified and the remedy planned. Now all that is needed is funding to complete cleanup of the former Crown Cleaners site on Route 3.
The Herrings site has turned up on the SeeClickFix website that draws attention to neighborhood issues in hopes of having them fixed. Reported by Daniel J. Powell, the site says, When is this eyesore going to be torn down? For over 30 years, this site has sat empty and allowed to fall down. No answers about the contamination of the groundwater or the status of the site. Also the site is not secure and a potential for injury to anyone who enters. If this is taken care of, NYS Route 3 could be straightened to remove that dangerous curve in the highway. Who owns this site and is responsible anyway? When will something be done?
Town of Wilna officials are asking the latter question also.
The 9-acre site was placed on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys Superfund list in 1991 because of ground and water contamination from the former dry cleaning facility. After years of testing and study, EPA finalized its cleanup plan in April 2012.
The restoration of the property would include demolition of the main building, extraction of contaminated soil and sediment with volatile organic compounds, which will be disposed of at an off-site facility, and covering of soil containing polycyclic aromatic compounds with clean soil on site. In addition, the groundwater will be treated using oxidants and wetlands will be restored.
Wilna took ownership of the property at 3595 Route 3 on June 18.
Following the cleanup, the town plans to turn the parcel into a park.
The problem now is funding.
At the suggestion of River Area Council of Governments circuit rider Kathleen M. Amyot, the town sent letters to state legislators to keep the Crown Cleaner cleanup on the radar.
The correspondence states, Based upon shared information and legal assurances, the town was led to believe EPA would proceed with the $7.6 million building demolition and soil and water remediation efforts to the level that would allow construction of an active Waterfront Recreation Park Facility.
The document signed by town Supervisor Paul H. Smith goes on to say the funding secured to complete the project did not carry over to 2013.
Therefore, we find ourselves in a compromising position, the letter says. The town owns the land but EPA lacks the needed funding to implement recommendations outlined in the record of decision.
The letter was sent to U.S. Sens. Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten E. Gillibrand, both D-N.Y.; Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh; state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton; Assemblyman Kenneth D. Blankenbush, R-Black River; Judy Drabicki, regional director of the state Department of Environmental Conservation, Pamela N. Tames of the EPA and Herrings Mayor Richard A. Beirman.
Mrs. Amyot said the purpose of the letter is for nudging a little at the legislative level so that when funding is available, this project will be considered.
How soon that will happen who knows? Dont expect it tomorrow, she said.
EPA has compiled a community involvement plan which, along with the final feasibility study and two-volume final remedial investigation report, is available for public viewing at the Carthage Free Library, 412 Budd St.
The documents contain information about on-site activities, the remediation process, the history of the site and how to contact EPA and legislative representatives.
Mrs. Amyot has said in the past that letter-writing campaigns work to help keep elected officials aware that the matter is of importance.

MASSENA Businesses that have filed lawsuits challenging property assessments they called unfairly high drew the wrath of Supervisor Joseph D. Gray in a news release sent out Monday after an executive session of the Town Council.
The town of Massena is once again being sued by multi-million dollar companies who feel their property tax assessments are too high, Mr. Gray said in the release. Granted, these multi-million-dollar companies have a right to challenge their assessments, but they also have a legal and moral obligation to pay their fair share of property taxes.
The Johnson Newspaper Corp. last year challenged the approximately $2 million assessment on its printing plant and offices it has 1 Harrowgate Commons. The company filed its lawsuit against the town last year after the challenge failed to have the assessment reduced.
Since the Johnson Newspaper Corporations request for a fair assessment last year, we have examined the valuation of our printing facility in Massena. That study shows a lower value than the current assessment, which was established a decade ago as part of our investment in Massena, said John B. Johnson Jr., chairman of the JNC board of directors. Over the last 10 years, St. Lawrence Countys industrial infrastructure has deteriorated in value as businesses have closed and the population has decreased, and our facility and its utility has aged and declined in value as well.
The newspaper company is seeking to have its assessment lowered to $1 million. In a separate lawsuit, HHSC Inc., owners of Harte Haven Shopping Center, are seeking to have its $5.1 million assessment lowered to $2 million. Attorneys for HHSC could not be reached for comment Monday night.
The Harte Haven Shopping Center has seen a dramatic rebirth over the past few years, Mr. Gray said. The place is booming and the owners say its only worth two million bucks? Will they sell it for that? If so, I will try to put together a group of investors to take it off their hands.
Mr. Gray asked the same about the Johnson Newspaper Corp. property in Massena, although he didnt make an offer for the newspaper plant.
Would you sell the building for that amount? he said. I know the print media business is in a tough spot right now, but my guess is they would not sell that printing plant for a million bucks today or tomorrow.

FALMOUTH, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - State police say a Falmouth man has been arrested and charged with murder following a standoff that lasted several hours Friday.
State police say 44-year-old Andrew Leighton was arrested and charged with murder in connection with the shooting death of his mother at their home on Edgewater Drive.
Police foundthe body of Leighton's mother, who has been identified as 68-year-old Shirley Leighton, inside the home on Edgewater Drive where the standoff occurred. An autopsy will take place Sunday at the State Medical Examiner's office in Augusta.
Andrew Leighton was charged early Saturday morning following his release from Maine Medical Center where he was taken for an evaluation. He was taken into custody around 11 p.m. Friday after he surrendered to police. Leighton is being held at the Cumberland County Jail without bail.
Police say the shooting was reported to police by 71-year-old Thomas Leighton, who discovered the shooting after returning home from walking his dog in the neighborhood Friday afternoon.
After police arrived on scene, Andrew Leighton barricaded himself inside the home. Police had closed off Route 88 while a tactical team was on scene during the standoff. Falmouth police were being assisted by the Cumberland County Sheriff's office, Yarmouth police and the Brunswick bomb squad.
Neighbors tell NEWS CENTER that Andrew Leighton lived in the home with his parents and had been drinking all day. They say he shot his mother, and when his father saw what happened he ran out of the home to get help. Neighbors say that Leighton then chased his father, but that he soon returned to the home.
State police detectives were at the home through the early morning hours Saturday, and are expected to return to the home later in the day with a search warrant to continue the investigation.
