The following is an explanation of each warrant article including details not found in the warrant, such as specific dollar amounts where applicable. We have listed recommendations on specific articles by town boards where available. Town committees and boards were still in the process of voting on various town meeting articles when this supplement went to press. Therefore, the list of committees that voted to support or not support particular articles is not complete.
• Article 1
is an annual article appointing non-elected officials. These include
various committees appointed by the town moderator, the selectmen and
the town manager. Supported by board of selectmen and finance committee.
Article 2 is an annual article that allows the reading of reports by
town officers and town committees and the acceptance of the annual town
report. It is expected that the pool study committee will deliver a
report and that a proclamation will be read regarding the First Parish
Church. Supported by board of selectmen and finance committee.
ARTICLE 3 is a routine article that sets the compensation of the
following elected town officials: assessors, selectmen, town meeting
moderator, and town clerk. The total amount requested is $72,040, the
same as last year. The majority of this amount is the town clerk's
proposed salary for FY08 of $62,000, which is the same as FY07. Annual
salaries for selectmen and assessors are $1,500 for board members and
$2,000 for chairmen. The town moderator's salary is $40. None of these
have increased for years. Supported by board of selectmen and finance
• Article 4 is the acceptance of state highway
funding, or Chapter 90 money. This annual article authorizes selectmen
to temporarily borrow money for highway maintenance and then accept the
state reimbursement for this expense. The amount of state aid is
expected to be $329,051, a $4,500 increase over last year. Supported by
board of selectmen and finance committee.
• Article 5 is the
FY08 operating budget for the town and schools totaling $54.6 million,
a 3.8 percent increase over the current FY07 budget. This amount
includes the operating and capital budget as well as the water
department budget. Notable expenses include $1.8 million for general
government (a 1.6 percent increase from FY07); $25.5 million for
education, (2.8 percent increase); $5.7 million for public safety, (3.1
percent increase); $3.6 million for department of public works, (3.7
percent increase); $1.5 million for library and recreation, (1.4
percent increase); $451,210 for health and human services, (3 percent
increase); $1.5 million for the water department, (3.9 percent
increase); $13.5 million for town and school shared costs including
employee benefits, insurance and debt service, (6.1 percent increase).
Revenues come from these sources: $38.5 million from the town's
property tax levy (3.7 percent increase); $4.8 million in state revenue
(6.7 percent increase); $8.1 million in local receipts (1.2 percent
increase); and $180,767 in available funds. This year, $1,596,443 in
free cash is being used to balance the budget. Supported by board of
• Article 6 is the FY08 capital budget totaling $3.61
million. The majority of this amount - $3.15 million- will be borrowed
to construct the new Birch Street water tank. The other capital
expenses include: $25,000 for portable radios for the fire department;
$10,500 to overhaul Marine Unit 1 for the harbormaster's department;
$20,000 to replace the old town hall's heating/AC system; $32,000 for a
new DPW 3/4 ton pick-up truck; $48,000 for a new cemetery rack truck;
$30,000 to reline the crematory retorts, or ovens; and $45,000 to add
to the cemetery columbarium, a place to store cremated ashes. Three
capital items that will be funded from water enterprise account include
$150,00 for water system rehabilitation; $100,000 for PCE pipe
replacement; and $32,000 to replace a 3/4 ton 4x4 pick-up truck. The
school department's proposed capital item of $600,000 for technology is
not included in this budget. Supported by board of selectmen.
Article 7 is the Duxbury Personnel Plan and Compensation Schedule, a
routine article used to give raises to town managers and non-school and
non-union town employees as well as part-time or temporary workers. Of
the $105,000 in this article, $3,000 is earmarked for tuition
reimbursement. Supported by board of selectmen and finance committee.
Article 8 is an annual article for funding collective bargaining
agreements from any of the nine unions in town, including police,
firefighters, teachers, and school and government employees. It may be
indefinitely postponed as there are no union contracts currently ready
to be voted under this article.
• Article 9 requests $400,000
for the annual lease of Duxbury Beach from its owner, the non-profit,
Duxbury Beach Reservation, Inc. This amount is the same as last year.
The lease pays for beach management costs, which have been increasing
in past years due to the storm damage repairs and the expanded
endangered species protection program including monitors for piping
plovers. The town has been leasing the beach since 1919. Supported by
board of selectmen and finance committee.
• Article 10 is an
annual article asking voters to appropriate $10,000 for the July 4th
parade and ceremony. This money is supplemented by the Fourth of July
committee's fundraising efforts. Supported by board of selectmen and
finance committee.
• Article 11 is a request from the
Conservation Commission to add $5,500 to the conservation fund. The
total amount last year was $11,000. In the past, the Conservation
Commission used the fund to purchase small pieces of land, but now the
fund pays for the costs of managing 2,300 acres of conservation land
and 750 acres of town land. It funds the upkeep to trails, access ways,
parking lots, fences, gates, locks, and signs. The fund is also used
for surveying parcels, finding old boundaries and installing new ones
to protect from abutter encroachment. Certain types of land such as the
town's hayfields, cranberry bogs and other wetlands require special
care. The conservation fund also meets special wildlife management
issues, such as building and maintaining platforms for osprey nests and
boxes for wood ducks and swallows. Protecting endangered species and
eradicating invasive plant species are also covered by the fund. In the
past, this money has been used to hire summer interns who perform a
variety of tasks like cutting back trails to building boardwalks over
wetlands. Supported by board of selectmen and finance committee.
Article 12 seeks voter approval to adopt a state law that creates a
property tax-break program for senior citizens. The state tax-relief
program would replace the local one run by the Council on Aging since
1996. The state program allows a $750 tax break for up to 10 seniors
aged 65 and older. There are no income requirements. Under the town's
current program, a senior citizen must be over 60 and be a resident
homeowner in Duxbury. They are allowed to reduce their taxes by $500 a
year by volunteering in various town departments. Over the last 10
years, 81 seniors have taken advantage of this program. The state
program allows for streamlined bookkeeping, as its tax break comes
directly as a tax abatement on a senior's third quarter tax bill. With
the town's program, seniors are given a paycheck, which they must then
turn over to the town to pay a portion of their taxes. Supported by
board of selectmen and finance committee.
• Article 13 proposes
to reauthorize three revolving funds for three town departments: the
Council on Aging, the Conservation Commission and the Assessing
Department. Revolving funds are accounts that are set up to take in
fees for services that are then paid out for expenses incurred to offer
the services. The Council on Aging revolving fund can hold up to
$70,000 generated from fees for senior center programs. The money in
this account is used to pay instructors or to buy supplies. Last year,
the fund's total was $50,000. The Conservation Commission's revolving
fund for $15,000 will contain money generated from the sale of
Christmas trees on the town-owned West Street (Jaycox) Christmas tree
farm. This money will be used to pay a forester to spray and shear the
trees and mow the property at a cost of approximately $10,000. The
Geographic Information System (GIS) revolving fund would hold a maximum
of $40,000. Duxbury's GIS is a computer-based system used for
the creation and maintenance of the town's geographic features,
infrastructure data and other related land-based information. The GIS revolving fund holds fees paid by users who request certain electronic data and/or plans from the town's GIS system. This money provides a dedicated revenue source to upgrade and maintain the GIS system. Supported by board of selectmen and finance committee.
Article 14 requests $80,000 in Community Preservation Act funds for the
Community Preservation Committee's operating budget. This is the same
amount as last year. This account pays for the board's administrator
and consultants, as well as engineering fees and legal costs. Any
unused money will be returned to the CPC general account. Supported by
board of selectmen.
• Article 15 proposes to allocate 10 percent
of the Community Preservation Act tax surcharge to accounts for each of
its three purposes: open space, historical preservation and affordable
housing. This year's allocation will be $216,000 for each account. Last
year, the amount was $203,844. Duxbury residents pay a three percent
surcharge on their real estate taxes to fund projects recommended by
the Community Preservation Committee and approved by town meeting. For
the past four years, the state has matched the town's funds by 100
percent. Supported by board of selectmen.
• Article 16 seeks
$500,000 in Community Preservation Act funds for drainage improvements
and site work related to construction of two synthetic turf fields at
the middle and high schools. A citizen's group called P.R.I.D.E., which
stands for promoting recreation investment to develop excellence, is
trying to raise $3 million to replace the middle and high school grass
football fields with artificial turf fields and also construct a new
track and improve lighting at DHS. The group will raise funds for the
remaining cost of the project.
• Article 17 seeks $125,000 in
Community Preservation Act funds to prepare construction and bid
documents for the restoration of the historical Tarkiln Community
Center on Summer Street (Route 53). Town meeting approved almost
$35,000 in CPA funds in 2004 to pay for an architect to evaluate the
former schoolhouse turned community center. Tarkiln consists of two
one-room schoolhouses built in 1871 and 1908 respectively, with a
connector housing bathrooms and a basement that dates to 1926. The
article is jointly sponsored by the Historical Commission and the
Community Preservation Committee. Supported by board of selectmen and
community preservation committee.
• Article 18 requests a
transfer of money from the Community Preservation Fund to the Water
Enterprise Fund. Last year, Community Preservation Act money was used
to purchase the Delano property. A portion of this property will be
used by the Water Department for a potential well site. Funds from the
Water Enterprise Fund were used to reimburse the CPC for the full
amount of the property, instead of just the well site portion. This
article would now reimburse the Water Enterprise Fund for overpaying on
the Delano property.
• Article 19 seeks permission to allow the
town accountant to transfer any funds left over from finished Community
Preservation Act projects back into the CPA fund. Money from six
projects totaling $17,221.88 will be put back into the fund. This
includes $3,601.75 for the King Caesar House; $1,432.49 for the Keene
Street Field; $2,851 and $7,826 from the Jaycox Tree Farm; $803.84 for
the Bluefish River Fire House, and $706.80 for the Town Green
Irrigation. Supported by board of selectmen.
• Article 20 seeks
to trade 1.65 acres of water department land off Franklin Street near
Jeremiah Drive for 16,150 square feet of conservation land on Birch
Street adjacent to the existing Birch Street water tank. This
additional sliver of land is needed to allow the town to build the new
$3.15 million water tank while still using the old tank. This exchange
requires approval from town meeting, the conservation commission, the
selectmen acting as water commissioners, and the state legislature
because it requires changing the use of conservation land. The swap
provides access to a land-locked piece of conservation land off
Franklin Street near Union Hall Road. Supported by board of selectmen
and finance committee.
• Article 21 seeks voter permission to
allow selectmen to negotiate an easement to run 5,900 feet of water
main across Earl Ricker's property on Mayflower Street. The purpose of
the easement and water main is to connect the Evergreen water treatment
plan into the new high pressure zone on the west side of Duxbury that
will be created when the Birch Street water tank is built. The easement
allows an alternative to the Water Department's initial plan of
building a $400,000 30 ft by 30 ft pump station on Surrey Lane. The
cost of the new water tank is addressed in the capital budget.
Supported by board of selectmen.
• ARTICLE 22 is sponsored by
the Board of Health and it requests voter authorization to enter
Duxbury into an inter-municipal agreement with a coalition of other
South Shore towns in order to provide public health services. The
purpose is to be able to provide mutual aid to a town when it doesn't
have the resources available to cope with a situation that requires
public health action. It is similar to the mutual aid agreement among
towns for fire protection. Supported by board of selectmen and finance
• Article 23 is a citizen's petition seeking to
change the date of town elections from the fourth Saturday in March to
the fourth Tuesday in March. Doug Carver of Lake Shore Drive is
proposing this article in order to increase voter participation. Not
supported by board of selectmen and finance committee.
Article 24 seeks to create two new streets: Hillside Lane and Amado
Way. Amado Way is a subdivision road off Laurel Street and Hillside
Lane is a subdivision road off North Street. This article is sponsored
by the Planning Board and the Department of Public Works. Supported by
board of selectmen and finance committee.
• ARTICLE 25 is known
as the Mullen Rule and it asks voters to adopt a state law allowing a
local board member a vote on an issue even if he/she has missed one
public hearing. To qualify to vote, the board member must review all
evidence of the missed hearing, such as tape recordings and written
records, and provide proof that he did so. This rule affects committees
that hold adjudicatory hearings, such as the Planning Board, Zoning
Board of Appeals, Selectmen, Board of Health, and Conservation
Commission. It is sponsored by the Planning Board. Supported by board
of selectmen and finance committee.
• ARTICLE 26 seeks to
replace sheet 5 of the town's Zoning Map with an updated version that
shows all town- and state-owned land, including Housing Authority
properties. The official name of the page is the "Publicly Owned Lands
Overlay District." This article is sponsored by the Planning Board.
Supported by board of selectmen.
• ARTICLE 27 proposes revisions
to the entire zoning map, updating the base map to reflect lots as they
appear in the town's 2006 Geographic Information System (GIS) data. All
sheets of the zoning map will show the GIS changes as well as
any other minor revisions that have been discovered since the original
revision of the map in 2004. The map totals seven pages. This is
sponsored by the Planning Board. Supported by board of selectmen and
finance committee.
• ARTICLE 28 proposes to change the zoning
bylaw definition of building coverage and site coverage. It is
sponsored by the Planning Board. In the building coverage section, the
new bylaw would include accessory buildings, such as barns and garages,
commercial buildings, and overhanging projections from any building in
the calculation of how much land is covered by these structures. A
projection could be a bay window, cornice or gutter. This article also
amends the definition of site coverage by adding the wording "any
materials," "any other impervious materials," and "equipment slabs"
into the total calculation of a structure's site coverage. Town Planner
Christine Stickney said this article was developed as a result of
concerns from the Conservation, Planning, and Inspectional Services
departments about inconsistencies in the definitions. Not supported by
board of selectmen.
• ARTICLE 29 proposes a bylaw change for
planned developments. Sponsored by the Planning Board, this change
would require applicants to submit a preliminary qualification to the
town if they are interested in creating a planned development. The
current bylaw makes submitting a preliminary qualification optional not
mandatory. This change would help the town work with an applicant
during initial site design to address the complicated land use
development issues of planned developments.
• ARTICLE 30 seeks
a change to the demolition bylaw, Section 609.3 Demolition Delay
Procedures. The Planning Board is sponsoring this article for the
Historical Commission. This amendment would change the waiting period
for issuing a demolition permit for a structure that comes under the
demolition delay bylaw from six months to 12 months. Instituted in
1998, the demolition delay bylaw regulates buildings 75 years or older.
In administering the demolition delay bylaw, the Historical Commission
must use criteria in the bylaw to determine if a structure is
historically significant enough to warrant a public hearing and notify
the community of its intended demolition. If a structure is deemed
significant, the Commission can declare a six-month delay in issuing
the demolition permit in order to allow time for the structure to be
saved. According to the Commission, a 12-month delay would give it more
time to work with an owner to save a historical structure slated for
demolition. It could also serve as a deterrent to tear-downs by new
owners. The Historical Commission submitted the same article to town
meeting last year. It failed by six votes. Not supported by selectmen,
• ARTICLE 31 amends the zoning bylaw by altering the
definition of the grade, or slope, of a piece of land. It works in
tandem with Article 32, which seeks to change the definition of
building height. Both articles are sponsored by the Zoning Board of
Appeals and the Planning Board. The point of both is to try to control
the height of new buildings so they are in scale to surrounding
properties. In Article 31, a new definition of "natural grade" and
"finish grade" of a property is created. "Natural grade" is defined as
the measurement of the grade of the land before construction takes
place on a property. "Finish grade" is the final grade of a piece of
land after construction or site development. Article 31 would give the
town planners measurements of a property's natural grade before the
land is disturbed and a building constructed upon it. Not supported by
board of selectmen. Supported by the finance committee.
ARTICLE 32 proposes to change the definition of building height in the
zoning bylaw by using the new definitions of "natural grade" and
"finish grade" listed in Article 31. The new definition of "building
height" measures the vertical distance of a structure from the "natural
grade" or the "finish grade," whichever is less, and from a specific
point on the roof depending on the type of roof, i.e., flat, gable,
hip, or mansard, etc. It also amends the definition of "height" in a
residential compatibility zoning district and in a neighborhood
business zoning district. For example, in a residential compatibility
district, a building may not be more than 35 feet high from the roof's
ridge-line as measured from the average natural grade or from the
average finish grade. Town Planner Christine Stickney has said the
grade and height definition changes will help tighten up the bylaws and
reduce ambiguity on how the height measurement is taken. Officials hope
the new definitions will help new buildings blend in better with
surrounding ones. Article 32 will still work if Article 31 doesn't
pass. Not supported by board of selectmen.
• ARTICLE 33 seeks
a change to the zoning bylaw in Section 404.20 Determination of
Suitability of Residential Piers. The change allows the Conservation
Commission to weigh in on the location of a pier, ensuring that the
pier is constructed "over the shortest distance of salt marsh possible
after considering the recommendation of the Conservation Commission."
The article is sponsored by the Board of Appeals. Supported by board of
• ARTICLE 34 is a citizen's petition to rezone one
parcel of land at 414 Kingstown Way containing Bongi's Turkey Roost
from residential to commercial for future expansion. Tom Pierce of
Bongi's Turkey Roost seeks to rezone a parcel of land where his retail
store is located from Residential Compatibility and Planned Development
Zone 1 to Neighborhood Business Zone 1. Pierce said the new designation
would take away the non-conforming use currently in existence and allow
him to gain commercial financing to build a 1,000 ft addition off the
back of the business, which was approved by the ZBA within the last few
years. Bongi's, which sells turkeys for cooking and turkey products,
has been operating in Duxbury since 1938. The article as written in the
warrant seeks to rezone three parcels, but Pierce will amend that to
only one parcel on town meeting floor. Supported by board of selectmen.
ARTICLE 35 proposes a new shared-use path for pedestrians and
bicyclists on the East side of Tremont Street/Route 3A from Chestnut
Street to Depot Street. The Duxbury Sidewalk and Bike Path Committee
has submitted the article in order to get a sense of the town about
whether this is a good location for a new sidewalk.
walking/bike path would be across the street from the town hall,
cemetery and senior center. The half-mile path would use both private
property and the state-right-of-way, which runs along the road. The
Committee is seeking funding for the design through a grant from the
Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. The Committee
has contacted all the abutters along the proposed route and, with the
exception of the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society, all support the
path. The Duxbury Rural and Historical Society will not allow the use
of their property, Lapham Woods across from the cemetery and town hall,
for the path. The path could still be built along the Society's woods
but would have to be located in the state right-of-way closer to the
road or would have to stop at Prior Farm Road. If town meeting voters
approve the proposed path, then the committee will seek Community
Preservation Act funds to construct it. Supported by board of selectmen.
ARTICLE 36 requests up to $6,000 for a rapid notification telephone
system. This article is sponsored by the Duxbury Nuclear Advisory
Committee and the Duxbury Emergency Management Agency. The rapid
notification system would be similar to the school department's
ConnectED program. According to Nuclear Advisory Committee Chairwoman
Mary Lampert, this system is needed because ConnectED cannot be
expanded to include contact information for all residents and the
Plymouth Country Sheriff's Department system cannot not guarantee the
time when a Duxbury-specific message would be relayed. Supported by the
finance committee. Supported by selectmen only if money comes from
existing budgets, such as the emergency management agency or other town
departments benefiting from the system.
• Article 37 asks for up
to $2,000 for the purchase of hand operated gas tank pumps. This is
also sponsored by the Duxbury Nuclear Advisory Committee. During an
emergency evacuation, the potential for cars to run out of gas becomes
a possibility. If electricity is also lost, hand pumps would facilitate
filling up vehicles. The committee would like five pumps, one for each
of Duxbury's four gas stations and one pump for the station that also
provides diesel. The article is sponsored by the Department of Public
Works, the Duxbury Nuclear Advisory Committee, and the Duxbury
Emergency Management Agency. Supported by the finance committee.
Selectmen support funding this article through grants.
• Article
38 seeks voters' support for a contention by Duxbury being heard by the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission pertaining to the re-licensing process of
the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant in Plymouth. The Duxbury Nuclear
Advisory Committee would like the public's backing in assuring that
Pilgrim's owners take more effective methods to insure radioactively
contaminated water is not leaking offsite into Cape Cod Bay. Supported
by board of selectmen and finance committee.
• Article 39
seeks voters' support for the Duxbury Nuclear Advisory Committee's
second argument regarding the license renewal of the Pilgrim Nuclear
Power Plant in Plymouth. The Committee would like a public show of
support for having Pilgrim create a "plume transport model" that
reflects actual weather conditions. This would show what would actually
happen under this area's real weather conditions if there was a nuclear
leak at Pilgrim that sent a radioactive emission, or plume, into the
air. The article also calls for Pilgrim to install "computerized
combination real-time weather-radiation monitors" in appropriate
locations off-site from the power plant. These would help make sure the
protective actions taken during a nuclear emergency would be the
appropriate ones. Supported by board of selectmen and finance committee.
Article 40 will be indefinitely postponed. The Alternative Energy
Committee had wanted $5,000 for software and consulting to allow the
town to identify ways to reduce energy usage in town buildings. The
funds would have allowed the Alternative Energy Committee to join an
organization which has an energy management software that would help it
base-line the town's current energy usage. The Committee also wanted to
have some money on hand for minor consulting or legal work associated
with any grant applications that they might pursue. However, since this
money was not part of the FY08 budget, the committee chose to
indefinitely postpone the request.
• Article 41 will probably be
indefinitely postponed. It is an annual article that asks town meeting
to add money from the town's free cash account to its savings account,
the Stabilization Fund. This fund is the town's rainy day account, to
be used for unforeseen circumstances. However, the town has dipped into
it in past years and used the money to help balance the town's
operating budget. Town Manager Richard MacDonald is not using any money
from the Stabilization Fund for the operating budget this year. There
will be no action on this article because there is no deposit
available. This is the seventh consecutive year that no funds will be
added to this account. The last deposit of $100,000 was made in 2000.
Indefinite postponement supported by board of selectmen.
Article 42 is a routine article that asks voters to allow the Board of
Assessors to use free cash to reduce the tax levy. The specific amount
of free cash used is determined at the very end of town meeting.

Many physicians who do their own laboratory work, and even many of the smaller clinical laboratories, do not have refrigerator facilities, and it is often a problem to keep certain substances at a low temperature. This problem was solved recently in the Little Rock City Laboratory, when the ice-man failed to fill the refrigerator, by utilizing a vacuum bottle. We wanted to keep some guinea-pig blood at a low temperature over night to collect the serum for the Wassermann reaction. The vacuum bottle was filled about one-half full with ice-water and the test-tube containing the blood was lowered into it and the cork inserted. In the morning the temperature was 10 C., and the serum had completely separated.
This simple expedient may be used as above, for keeping complement, corpuscle suspension, antigen and patients' serum for the Wassermann reaction; for keeping urine, small

If is an almost simple group and has prime order , then this implies that there exists such that is not solvable. In fact, this is also true when with very few exceptions, which are described explicitly.

Christian world
ISIL rename a Christian city which had the word "Monastery" as a part of its name10. February 2015 - 11:47
The Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor which for many centuries was the haven for Christians of north-eastern Syria today has lost its Christian name—now its occupants-islamists call it "Wilayat ul-Hayr", reports the Calam1 portal.
Thus, islamists, members of "The Islamic State" terrorist organization have decided to abolish the very name of the city which since the 8th century has had the word "deir", that is, "monastery", as part of its name that refers to Christianity and the Christian heritage of Syria.

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — Andrew Zitnik returned an interception 97 yards to cap a Holy Cross scoring surge in the Crusaders 30-22 win over Harvard on Saturday.
Holy Cross (2-1) trailed 14-3 with 14:27 left in the second quarter before outscoring the Crimson 27-0.
Ryan Taggart threw a 68-yard TD to Josh Hauser, before running for a 1-yard score to put the Crusaders ahead for good, 17-14, with 9:43 left in the first half. John Macomber added two field goals and Andrew Zitnik returned his interception three yards short of the school record to round out the Crusaders' scoring.
Taggart had 320 yards on 22 of 35 passing, and Mike Fess had 102 yards on five catches as three different Crusaders' receivers had five catches, and four had more than 40 yards receiving.
Collier winters had for 265 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions on 25 of 41 passing in the Crimson's season opener.

County floats new rules that crack down on illegal dumping
- Dec 3, 2013 at 2:36PM
New rules, effective in January, to protect land managed by King County Parks from illegal dumping would mean fines of up to $500 for those caught trashing public property. "People have told us that illegal dumping in our parks is a problem, and we have heard them loud and clear," said King County Executive Dow Constantine. "Work to clean up illegal dumpsites takes time, money, and staff resources, which we would rather spend elsewhere."

- Dec 3, 2013 at 5:17PM
The three men from the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe didn't speak much Spanish. The two visitors from Peru spoke hardly any English. But carvers know carvers, and the common, unspoken language of craft was enough to bring everyone together.

Pat's rules: After 31 years as Snoqualmie's attorney, local native Pat Anderson handing off legal duties for retirement
- Dec 4, 2013 at 12:50PM
Pat Anderson's career has taken a number of twists and turns. One road, however, kept leading him home. As a young lawyer, Anderson lucked out and got a job advising the government of his home city. He's been doing that job for more than 30 years, and his legal mind has become one of the longest serving institutional memories of the city. "An attorney always represents a client," said Anderson. "I advise the mayor and council when asked for advice. But when they've made a decision, it's my responsibility to use all lawful means to implement their decision. That's what I've tried to do, throughout my career."

Letters | Historical society's singalong was an emotional highlight
- Dec 6, 2013 at 1:41PM
I must admit that I am still on an emotional high since our Snoqualmie Valley Historical Society's 1940 community sing-along. What a thrill to have well over one hundred Valley neighbors gathered together for the sake of joined voices to celebrate and commemorate the pivotal time and heritage of 1940! We rarely gather together nowadays, except to confront issues or to take advantage of bargain sales. Neither was the case as joined voices were raised to recreate and celebrate our rich heritage of music in one of the more pivotal years in American history.

Letters | Still no change in local cursive policies; Use it or lose it
- Dec 6, 2013 at 1:38PM
At the Feb. 28, 2013, meeting of District 410's board, I inquired as to the status of teaching cursive in our schools. Although disappointed to learn of our lack of emphasis after teaching it in the third grade, I was somewhat encouraged by the board's interest in the issue. Since then, I have talked to many persons, adults and students, about the use of cursive. Many of the adults had heard about the national trend of de-emphasizing cursive.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is a sequel/expansion to Guitar Hero III. As such, this road map will assume that you already know the basics of how to play Guitar Hero, and can hold your own on expert. Depending on your skill level, this game can be a pretty time consuming 1000, or it can be a breeze. In any case, it's much easier than Guitar Hero III. If you're new to the Guitar Hero series, there are hundreds of sites on the internet that will help you improve your skills (including the forums on this site), so start there. A lot of the achievements will unlock during one Career run, but you should be able to go back and play any song at any time to pick up achievements that you might have missed. I've found that the quickest (and most enjoyable) way to get 1000 is to start with Career. For 1000 , you'll need to do at least one career run solo, and twice more with a partner.
Step 1: Career (280 )
If you are not very good in Guitar Hero games, start with Easy career, then go for Medium, Hard and finally Expert. If you can beat the career on Hard in Guitar Hero 3, you can probably start on the Expert career for Aerosmith. You get achievements for playing on different places, and I think you can manage to get the 2,000,000 scores in your first career - I got it on Easy and I couldn't even 5 star all the songs on my first try. No matter what difficulty you finish on, you'll unlock Aerosmith, Jailbait, No More, No More, Subway, On The Road Again, Nine Lives, Critical Mass, March 19th, 2001. In addition, make sure that you turn down an encore along the way to get Draw the Line. Beating Expert will give you Make It, Movin' Out, Rock in a Hard Place, and Dream On.
Step 2: Spend your cash (150 ) – In your first career run, you should have earned enough money to get Eat the Rich, but if you didn't, just start another band, and earn some more money playing Expert or Hard songs - they pay a lot more than Easy or Medium. There are a ton of things in this game to purchase. They will probably cost more than you can earn with one career, so you might need to do that anyways. The first thing you should buy are the vault songs, to get Big Ten Inch Record. Play through them for Same Old Song and Dance. Then get Kings and Queens, Walk This Way, and Toys in the Attic. Now you've unlocked everything in the game and can do some mopping up.
Step 3: Mop up (240 ) – You may have already gotten most, or even all of these during your career run. They can be done at any time, and most of them aren't very difficult. Just go through the achievement list and make sure you get Get Your Wings, Cheesecake, Crazy, Score Hero, I Don't Want to Miss a Thing, Gems, Sick as a Dog, Ain't that a B***h, Woman of the World, Spaced, Dude Looks Like a Lady, andNight in the Ruts. As long as you stay in career mode to get all of these, you should get Get it Up along the way.
Step 4: Online (210 )
It's time to go online. Find yourself a co-op partner HERE and then go play with them on Xbox Live. The co-op achievements can be glitchy. I suggest getting a friend over who can hang on Expert and doing them locally, but it is possible to get them all on XBL. Sometimes on XBL you'll complete the requirement for a co-op achievement, and you just won't get it. You can do Big Ones, Cryin', Combination, Let the Music Do the Talking, When I Needed You, Deuces Are Wild, Love Me Two Times, Fallen Angels, Nobody's Fault and Back in the Saddle with your partner.
After that, you need to go to ranked Face-Off, Pro Face-Off and Battle Modes. Win and lose Face-Off and Pro Face-Off matches, then win Battle Mode with a death drain attack. After that, do the 20 ranked matches achievement.
Part 5: Online vs. (120 ) – The online achievements are infinitely easier than Guitar Hero III's. You should be able to complete them all within about 4 – 8 hours, provided you can find an opponent. They are What it Takes, My Fist Your Face, Don't Get Mad, Get Even, Walkin' the Dog, Soul Saver, You See Me Crying, and Falling Off.
x360a would like to thank jappe66 and IWi11KickU for this Road Map
|Get Your Wings
|Complete the Tutorial
|From the Main Menu select Training, then Tutorial. There are 4 sections to be completed, they can be done in any order. If you've played Guitar Hero 3 then this will seem familiar as it is identical as far as I can tell.
|Make It
|Complete the Career on Easy
|See "Dream On"
|Movin' Out
|Complete the Career on Medium
|See "Dream On"
|Rock in a Hard Place
|Complete the Career on Hard
|See "Dream On"
|Dream On
|Complete the Career on Expert
|These career achievements are for the single player mode.
The achievements for completing the Careers are stackable in this game meaning that players who play through the game on expert difficulty first will also unlock the three lower Career achievements when they finish the final song.
If you have played Guitar Hero 3 you will have a rough idea of your skill level on this game as it plays identically. On average the songs are easier than Guitar Hero 3 and there are also less of them (30 songs & 1 Guitar Battle on the setlist in total).
|Unlock Aerosmith as the playable band
|Aerosmith are unlocked upon completion of the first two songs in the first tier of career mode (on any difficulty). Once you have completed "Dream Police" and "All the Young Dudes" the achievement will pop up and you will play as Aerosmith for the next song.
|Play a song at the Nipmuc venue
|This achievement will unlock when you complete the first song "Dream Police" in career mode on any difficulty as it is the first venue you play at.
|Earn a 100 note streak in Career or Quick Play (Local only)
|This can be done on any song on any difficulty. I unlocked it on the first song "Dream Police" on the medium difficulty setting. If you are having trouble with this then play through an easy career and you should get this on the first tier.
|Earn a 500 note streak in Career or Quick Play (Local Only)
|For this achievement you will need to find a song that has at least 500 notes first.
On Easy, the only songs with more than 500 notes are "Mama Kin" from the main setlist and "Mercy" and "Shakin' my Cage" from the Vault (bonus songs).
On Medium, the first song with more than 500 notes is "No Surprize". Although, "Walk This Way" was the song I got the achievement on.
On Hard, a good song for this is "All the Young Dudes" which has 587 notes and no fast sections.
|No More, No More
|Perform all the Encores
|The achievement description for this is not accurate. I turned down the first encore to get the Draw The Line achievement. I then played all the encores from the second to the sixth tier and got this achievement after the final song "Train Kept A Rollin".
|Kings and Queens
|Purchase all the playable characters from The Vault
|There are 4 unlockable characters in the Vault. Tom Hamilton and Brad Whitford are available from the start of the career. DMC is unlocked for purchase upon completion of King of Rock in tier 4. Joe Perry is unlocked for purchase when you beat his Guitar Battle in tier 6. The achievement will unlock once you purchase the last character.
For this achievement you'll need to earn $60000 in total over all your careers and bands. Characters can be purchased within different bands as once you have purchased a character in one band's career the character is unlocked and available for use in all your other bands (under the same gamertag).
5-Starring all songs in each difficulty earns:-
Easy = $9,300
Medium = $18,600
Hard = $37,200
Expert= $55,800
|Big Ten Inch Record
|Purchase all the bonus songs
|There are 9 bonus songs available for purchase at $500 each. You will need $4500 to purchase them all. You will need to purchase all the bonus songs to get the Same Old Song and Dance achievement.
|Toys in the Attic
|Purchase all guitars from The Vault (Bass/Lead/Rhythm)
|For this achievement you will have to purchase the 73 guitars which are available to purchase from the start (not the bonus guitars). The total price is $93,200. You can purchase these using any band in your profile as once you have purchased a guitar it is unlocked for every band you use.
|Same Old Song and Dance
|Complete every song in the setlist and the Vault (Local only)
|For this achievement you have to play every song in career mode not quickplay. The easiest way to do this will be to play through the career setlist as normal. This will unlock both the "Joe Perry Guitar Battle" (when you have beaten him in tier 6) and "Kings and Queens" after the end credits. You should then have enough money to purchase the 9 songs from the vault (see Big Ten Inch Record). Then go back into your completed career and access the vault songs from the setlist by pressing the blue button on your guitar. Play all eleven songs and the achievement will unlock.
|Score Hero
|Score "325,000" or more on the song "Train Kept a Rollin'"
|Looking at the leaderboards the only people who have unlocked this achievement were playing on expert. The highest score on the leaderboard for a hard attempt was 290,000 which leads me to believe that a score of 325,000 is not possible on hard.
|Get it Up
|Score 2,000,000 in the Career
|This is easier than it sounds. At the bottom of the setlist is your career score. Once it gets above 2,000,000 the achievement will unlock. I unlocked the achievement on my first playthrough of the medium difficulty, halfway through the fourth tier. Bonus song scores are not included in your career total.
|Eat the Rich
|Earn $50,000 in career earnings
|This achievement can be unlocked by earning $50,000 with all your bands. I tested this by earning $49,500 with my main band and making a second band which I played the first song in career with. When the song finished I earned $600 for 5-starring it and the achievement unlocked.
Also, if you spend money before earning $50,000 don't worry as the game will remember how much you have earned in total and not just how much you have at any one time.
If you are playing through on expert and 5-star every song you will unlock this achievement after the Joe Perry guitar battle.
|I Don't Want to Miss a Thing
|Earn a gold star rating on a song on Medium or harder difficulty (Local only)
|For this you have to 100% a song. I got this on "Dream Police". If you are having trouble with this choose the song you are best at and use the practice option found in the training menu. Remember it's got to be on medium or higher.
|Hit every star power phrase on a song (Local or Xbox LIVE)
|For this achievement you have to hit every star shaped note that comes down the fret board. To make sure I didn't miss any whilst in Star Power mode I didn't activate it at all during the song which will also unlock Spaced.
|Sick as a Dog
|Earn a 5 star rating for a song on Medium or harder (Local or Xbox LIVE)
|For this achievement you have to hit a high percentage of notes (95% or more, I think). You should get this on the first tier whilst going for I Don't Want to Miss a Thing. Alternatively, you can get it on LIVE with a friend whilst going for the co-op achievements.
|Ain't That a B***h
|Earn a gold star rating on a song (Local only)
|This is a similar achievement to I Don't Want to Miss a Thing but can be achieved on easy difficulty. If you don't have this and instead go for I Don't Want to Miss a Thing you will get both achievements at the same time.
|Big Ones
|Earn a 300 note streak in Co-op (Local or Xbox LIVE)
|This can be achieved on any song in the game on any difficulty as they all have more than 300 notes in total. Me and a friend got it on "All Day and All of the Night" on medium as we found it to be the easiest for us as it's a short song with a lot of notes.
|Earn a 600 note streak in Co-op (Local or Xbox LIVE)
|For this achievement you will have to find a song with 600 notes in it. I got this on "All Day and All of the Night" on medium on the same attempt that I got Big Ones on.
|Earn an 8x multiplier in Co-op (Local or Xbox LIVE)
|For this you have to play in co-op and activate Star Power when you have a 4x multiplier (which is earned by getting a 30 note streak). The achievement will unlock instantly.
|Let the Music Do the Talking
|Earn a gold star rating on a Co-op song (Local or Xbox LIVE)
|For this achievement you have to hit 100% of your notes. When I got this achievement I hit all my notes but my friend missed one of his. I got the achievement and he didn't. Therefore, I believe that to get the achievement you and your co-op partner both have to hit 100% of your notes.
|When I Needed You
|Activate Star Power 3 times in a song in a Co-op match (Local or Xbox LIVE)
|This achievement requires you and your co-op partner to access Star Power 3 times in a song. Pretty simple. Just get your bar half full (till it glows) and both tilt your guitars (repeat two more times).
|What it Takes
|Play 20 online ranked matches of any game type
|For this you don't have to win just play 20 ranked songs NOT games. Fastest way to do this would be to play Battle Mode (best of seven songs) as you don't have to finish the song to finish the game. If you fail four in a row to lose the battle and repeat this process 4 more times you will unlock the achievement.
|Deuces Are Wild
|Complete all songs on the setlist as the lead guitarist (Local or Xbox LIVE - primary user)
|Select Multiplayer from the main menu, choose the Guitar option with the lead account and play through all 30 songs from the main setlist (there is no Joe Perry guitar battle in co-op) with your main band.
Make sure that the Lead Guitar is played by the account you want to unlock the achievement on.
I have received messages from people stating they got this over LIVE, when I tried it didn't unlock. If possible I would recommend going for this achievement in local co-op play.
|My Fist Your Face
|Win an online ranked Pro Face-Off match
|This will count towards your 20 online ranked games for What it Takes. If you are having trouble obtaining this achievement and are usually good enough to play on hard then drop down to easy and play a match against someone on that difficulty. If you are still having trouble winning on easy then choose your best song, practice it until you can play it without missing a note then host a one song game online and choose that song.
|Don't Get Mad, Get Even
|Win an online ranked Face-Off match
|Very similar achievement to My Fist Your Face. Follow the description for that achievement and you should get this pretty quickly.
|Walkin' the Dog
|Win an online ranked Pro-Face Off match by 10,000 or more points
|This achievement will likely unlock for you when you unlock My Fist Your Face. Again, if you are having trouble winning by 10,000 points then I suggest you just keep practicing your best song. Alternatively, you could try to boost but it may be hard to find your friend's lobby or for them to find yours as the lobby system doesn't tell you the host's name until you have joined.
|Soul Saver
|Win a ranked online Battle Mode match with a Death Drain attack
|A death drain attack occurs once both players have completed a song in Battle Mode without failing and enter sudden death. This causes the song to restart and any battle power-ups used activate the death drain mode, in which two skulls appear on your opponent's fret board and move down the screen making it harder for your opponent to see his (or her) notes. Once the skulls get to the bottom of their board your opponent will lose the game and you will get the achievement.
I recommend hosting a 1 song match to get this as it doesn't seem to unlock in a match that has more songs.
|Love Me Two Times
|Complete all songs on the setlist as the Bass/Rhythm guitarist ( Local or Xbox LIVE - primary user)
|Select Multiplayer from the main menu, choose the Bass with the lead account and play through all 30 songs from the main setlist (there is no Joe Perry guitar battle in co-op) with your main band and make sure that the bass/rhythm is played by the account you want to unlock the achievement on.
I have received messages from people stating they got this over LIVE, when I tried it didn't unlock. If possible I would recommend going for this achievement in local co-op play.
Secret Achievements
|Played a song at the Max's Kansas City venue
|This achievement will unlock once you have finished your first song in the second tier of the career mode. The songs are "I hate myself for loving you" and "All day and all of the night".
|On The Road Again
|You unlocked the Orpheum Theater of Boston venue
|This achievement will unlock when you complete the final song in tier 2 "Sweet Emotion". This can be done on any difficulty.
|Nine Lives
|You unlocked the Moscow venue
|This achievement will unlock when you complete the final song in tier 3 "Love in an Elevator". This can be done on any difficulty.
|Critical Mass
|You unlocked the Half-Time Show venue
|This achievement will unlock when you complete the final song in tier 4 "Walk This Way" (Run DMC and Aerosmith). This can be done on any difficulty.
|March 19th, 2001
|You unlocked the Hall of Fame venue
|This achievement will unlock when you complete the final song in tier 5 "Dream On". This can be done on any difficulty.
|Woman Of The World
|You played a song with a female guitarist
|This can be done in career. Choose one of the female characters (Casey Lynch, Judy Nails or Midori), play a song by one of the support bands from the setlist (Cheap Trick's "Dream Police", for example, as when you play as Aerosmith you are always Joe Perry) and the achievement will unlock when the song ends.
Playing a bonus song in career doesn't unlock the achievement because you play them all as Joe Perry.
|Draw The Line
|You turned down an encore
|This achievement will unlock once you turn down an encore in career mode. There is an encore at the end of every tier after the fourth song has been completed. The crowd will be cheering and you will be offered the chance to play an encore or leave. Simply leave and the achievement will unlock.
|You completed a song earning Star Power, but never used it
|Play a song (on any difficulty) in the career and fill your Star Power meter until it glows then don't tilt your guitar to activate it. You will probably find it easiest to get this achievement at the same time as Gems.
|Dude Looks Like a Lady
|Played a song as Izzy Sparks
|For this achievement play a song by one of the support bands from the setlist as Izzy Sparks (Cheap Trick's "Dream Police", for example, as when you play as Aerosmith you are always Joe Perry) and the achievement will unlock when the song ends. This can be done on any difficulty. Playing a bonus song in career doesn't unlock the achievement because you play them all as Joe Perry.
|Walk This Way
|You purchased DMC from The Vault
|For this achievement you will need to complete the song "Walk this Way" (Run DMC) to make DMC available for purchase in the Vault. He costs $15000. If you play through on medium and 5-star every song you will earn $18600. Purchase him and the achievement will unlock. You will get this achievement if you are going for the Kings and Queens achievement.
|Night in the Ruts
|Bummer, you failed a song 10 times
|To get this achievement I started a career on expert, then chose the first song "Dream Police". Don't play any notes or if you want to fail faster then strum without holding a note. Fail 10 times and the achievement will unlock.
|Fallen Angels
|Keep trying, you failed a Co-op song beyond 95% completion
|For this achievement you can play any song on the setlist on any difficulty. I recommend "All Day and All of the Night" as it's one of the shorter songs in the game (it can be found in tier 2). When both players are playing it on Easy there are 510 notes (269 Lead, 241 Bass). If neither player misses a note from the start then the 95% mark is 485 notes. When you get to 485 on the note counter both players should strum as fast as they can without holding any notes in.
This can also be done online. See Nobody's Fault for details. The song will fail and the achievement will unlock.
|Nobody's Fault
|You failed 5 Co-op songs. Don't give up!
|The easiest way to get this achievement is to set up a local co-op Expert career. Choose the first song and don't play a note. You will fail once you are 20% into the song as you cannot fail before that time. Repeat 4 more times and the achievement will unlock.
This can also be done online if you set up a 5 song setlist in co-op. If you fail the first song after 95% you can get Fallen Angels then fail the next 4 by strumming before the song starts as on LIVE you don't have to wait for the 20% point of the song to fail. The achievement will unlock after the fifth song has been failed.
|You See Me Crying
|You lost an online ranked Pro Face-Off match
|For this achievement go online and choose a ranked Pro Face-Off. If you want to be sure you lose miss a lot of notes.
|Falling Off
|You lost an online ranked Face-Off match
|For this achievement go online and choose a ranked Face-Off. If you want to be sure you lose miss a lot of notes.
|Back in the Saddle
|You rocked out as Tom Hamilton and Brad Whitford in a Co-op match
|This achievement can be unlocked in local co-op and over LIVE. You will have to buy the characters first, they cost $15000 each. Play a song with the characters and the achievement will unlock once the song is finished.

At E3 2014 we introduced the world to the ROCCAT Sova Gaming Board prototype, a wireless, modular keyboard/mousepad combo expertly designed to help PC gamers own the couch, without having to give up their favorite gaming tools.
The wildly enthusiastic feedback we received confirmed what we already knew; that the Sova was the Future Ready gaming peripheral the world had been waiting for. It was time to get to work. During the months since our prototype debut, peripherals that appear similar to Sova on the surface have arrived on the world stage, but we continued taking our time, and weren't worried.

Surge on Afghanistan? It's 30,000:1.5 Billion
As the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan rage on, President Obama has declared that an end to our efforts in the latter conflict will come in 2011. By then, an additional 30,000 troops will have been deployed to Afghanistan to fight the Taliban, on top of the 55,000 soldiers who have already served in the region. You have to wonder if 85,000 or so soldiers can topple an army of one billion. That figurative army of one billion refers to recent statistics which found that one out of every four people, or 1.5 billion men, women and children, are Muslim.
Is it gauche and irresponsible, almost ten years into the war on terror, to think of the conflict as a war on fundamentalist Islam? Or on Islam altogether? Is it unpatriotic to think that this is a battle that we can't win because there are too many religious zealots out there who aim to lay waste to western civilization? Or the whole world for that matter seeing as jihadists are apt to kill anyone, even their own people (just look at today's car bomb attacks in Baghdad that have killed over 100 people).
At this point in the war, I do believe that the Muslim world's reaction to the events of the past decade has been tepid and, quite frankly, I've gone from not having an opinion either way on Islam to thinking that it is, in fact, a dangerous religion. If the corner mosque can be a hotbed for fanatical thought, as we have seen at Fort Hood in Texas or here in Brooklyn, then there is no place for this faith in the modern, civilized world. At least not in the west.
Our leaders never sold the war as a quick fix for the epidemic that is fanatical thought, but this war seems to have no end - and while our troop levels may be depleting - a terrorist seems to be born every minute. Some people would argue that aid, education and understanding are needed to win hearts and minds, but as we all know by now the world's biggest terrorist comes from one of the world's wealthiest families and the 9-11 jihadists had enough education to know how to fly planes into skyscrapers. And while the response to these attacks back in 2001 was rightfully careful to not condemn of all Islam, our overtures to this faith have gotten us nowhere. Our own president has traveled to the Muslim world, he's tried to strike a conciliatory tone in his speeches about the war and the role of the faith in this country, but to no avail.
It's no wonder, then, that even ever-neutral Switzerland has had to take a stand on the issue of Islam by banning the construction of minarets in the country. A lot of people are in a pique about this but I'm of the belief that we can no longer play host to a faith who seems fixated on the destruction of so-called infidels. I compare the minaret ban to the closing of bathhouses in the 1980s during the AIDS epidemic here in the U.S. - when increasing numbers of gay men were coming down with the disease, public health officials saw a connection between the activities at the baths and the spike in AIDS infections. I don't think that was homophobia, that was a response to a plague. I would offer that fanatical Islam is a plague we've been fighting for quite some time as well.
So, fine, we can send another 30,000 troops to Afghanistan and sure, we can say that we "almost" found Osama, but the real problem, that seed which germinates and turns into terrorism and turns into a financial and spiritual drain on the west, still exists. So what do we do about that?

Nearly missing his big moment with One Direction, Harry Styles rushed onstage at the 2014 BRIT Awards to receive their Global Success Award.
The 20-year-old boybander sprinted to join Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, and Niall Horan onstage to accept the trophy.
Bringing their boyish charm into the mix, One Direction headed over to the 2014 BRIT Awards at the O2 Arena in London, England this evening (February 19).
Harry, Niall, Liam, Zayn and Louis all came ready to have a smashing good time and caught up with their fellow celebrities while fans and shutterbugs snapped up pictures.
Celebrities love their clothes, and a smattering of fabulous stars showed up at London Fashion Week for the Burberry runway show today (February 17).
"American Hustle" hunk Bradley Cooper brought his lovely lady Suki Waterhouse with him to the much-hyped event, held at Kensington Gardens.
Never ceasing to cause a ruckus wherever they go, the boys of One Direction hit up a local diner in their new trailer for "Midnight Memories."
Originally posted back in November, a photo of Harry Styles' bare behind surfaced on Twitter on Sunday (January 26).
In the pic, the One Direction member appears to be peeing in a bush with his pants pulled all the way down.
Paying a visit to an American childhood staple, the boys of One Direction are set to make an appearance on an upcoming episode of "Sesame Street."
The British boy band dropped a preview clip from the show, in which they sing "What Makes U Useful," a play on their hit song "What Makes You Beautiful."
They still haven't confirmed their relationship status, but Kendall Jenner and Harry Styles have no problem showing the world their affection.
The couple, who have been seen together numerous times the past two months, were photographed showing very rare displays of PDA this weekend while at an Eagles concert at the Forum in Los Angeles.
Doing a little post-holiday shopping, Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner showed up at a snowboard shop in Mammoth Lakes, California on Thursday (January 2).
The "Live While We're Young" crooner and the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" starlet looked to be enjoying themselves as they perused the shelves and found some winter fun gear.

A $400 million plan to improve traffic in Los Angeles is now complete. The massive project synced all 4,500 of the city's traffic lights. As an area with our own traffic woes, the idea is attractive, but would it work?
"If you're in a hustle and bustle like me and you're trying to get to your location it's hard," says Latisha Goldsmith.{}
Los Angeles just spent 30 years and nearly half of $1 billion to sync its traffic lights and sensors, hoping to speed up the traffic flow.{}
Bill Dean's company M.C. Dean maintains traffic signals in dozens of cities, including Washington.
"It's a big challenge," he says.{}
The District's lights are synced for a normal traffic flow. The problem, however, is the interstates, like I-66, that empty directly onto city streets, making it harder to maintain a synced flow of traffic. It's a city designed for cross-town traffic, not just a few main commuter arteries.
"It's not like Manhattan where you can have your avenues," says Dean. Everybody flies down the avenues and then everybody waits at cross streets. We're standing here at 14th and K. Which one has priority?"{}
And perhaps the biggest problem are multi-jurisdictions. MDOT, VDOT and DDOT would have to work together to sync the lights along commuter corridors from Maryland and Virginia into D.C., meaning policy and politics become a bigger challenge than software and engineering.{}
It's not a huge surprise for motorists in the Washington region.{}
"There's times when it can be frustrating but that's the price we pay to live in the nation's capital," says Karen Leder of Bethesda.
As far as Los Angeles, the city claims it's already seeing traffic moving 16-percent faster due to the new synchronized light system, meaning the average speed on city streets is now 17 mph instead of 15 mph.

Maggie Akdogan has not received any gifts yet
hi maggie....
i was soo busy for last some years so that i couldnt check back atheist nexus and then i even forgot the site :) but im back godless and proud of it !!!
Greetings, Maggie! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus lately. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.

Profiting handsomely from the Affordable Care Act, big insurance companies have become some of the Obama administration's most valuable allies in promoting and defending the law.
Florida Senator Marco Rubio and Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan — potential Republican presidential contenders for 2016 — have teamed up to create a Republican alternative to ObamaCare. They are hoping to have their plan completed for a vote by next year.
