Three people escaped a house fire in Shaler Township early Monday morning.
The call came in around 3:30 a.m., and firefighters rushed to the 100 block of Convent Avenue.
VIDEO: Watch Amber Nicotra's report
A woman who lives there smelled smoke, and she woke her boyfriend and her 16-year-old son.
The teen was taken to a hospital and released after being treated for minor burns to his neck and hands.
Most of the damage was done to the back of the home and the second floor, leaving it too unsafe for the family to stay there.
The Allegheny County fire marshal is investigating the cause of the fire.

VINELAND, N.J. (AP) -- Promoters say Vineland rocks.
The out-of-the-way Cumberland County community will host a three-day rock festival originally proposed for Philadelphia's Fairmount Park.
The promoter says he couldn't wait any longer for approval from the Fairmount Park Commission.
The lineup for the show at a 550-acre farm has not been announced. Promoters say there will be big names and fans will be able to camp at the site.
The Vineland Music Festival is scheduled to start on August 8th.
Vineland is home of the fictional cinematic rock band Eddie and the Cruisers.

Harvest Moon dances in Sparkle Motion
Today, the first day of autumn, was a hot one. At noon, the hilltop was steamy, gnats out in full force as we squinted into the camera for the colony group photo. Too hot for me, I retreated to my studio after lunch, and by the mid afternoon, the mugginess had gone grey with cloud cover and threats of rain that never materialized. I napped too long and missed dinner, walked up to the mainhouse and unwrapped the saran wrap off the plate thoughtfully left behind for me. After I was done eating and internetting, it was fully night, the temperature eased down and the thicker clouds erased – the harvest moon was fully bright and visible. I went in and convinced the painter and the playwright to come stand outside and see it with me, and the former pointed out Jupiter, the untwinkling dot, shining a few inches below the moon and said tonight was the closest the planet has come to us in fifty years. I tried to feel as Jupiter as I could. A dark cloud threatened to steal all the light, so I didn't linger long at the top of the hill, I retreated to the barnhouse while there was still bright streams casting long shadows. Once I got back to the studio, I immediately wanted to be outside again and the sky seemed to be clearing up, despite that one patch that tricked me.
I dropped off my laptop, grabbed a hoodie and my cell phone, then marched across the dirt road and up into the meadow on the opposite hilltop, the old grass tennis court of Edna St. Vincent Millay, where you have an amazing view of the entire valley – including the cell tower in the distance, which means I actually have service. (There's nothing like having to walk outside 500 yards away from your home just to send a text to curb you of that habit.) On the way up the path, I saw a tiny glint in the grass, a glow. A tiny firefly? I got closer, no that wasn't it. It dimmed a little as I leaned in, I didn't have a flashlight on me to look closer, but it reminded me of spider hunting – looking in the woods at night with a flashlight held up to your temple, right next to your eyes. As you look around slowly, patiently, within a minute or two, you should spot a reflecting glow on a leaf or a branch. If you freeze your vision on that speck and follow the light to the object, two tiny specks you realize, you will find a spider – their eyes cause the reflecting twinkle. I thought about this while squinting into the grass, but I wasn't using a flashlight, so I couldn't imagine that was the answer. I kept walking.
After sufficiently mooning over the moon, sending a few texts and a quick phone call, I turned to head back and glints of light caught my periphery vision. I looked and saw more glowing in the grass, not just one, but dozens, hundreds, of them twinkling. I walked slowly, tilting my head to see how my movement made them blink back and forth. My hand instinctively reached down and touched the grass: dew. The hot humid day had dropped twenty degrees in a couple hours, and there was late night dew on the grass. The harvest moon was so full and so bright, the drops sparkled as I walked, a phenomenon I see every fresh snowstorm in Chicago, but never on worn grassy paths at nighttime. Walking back to my room, I ignored the moon itself and focused on the indirect magic it created, a glittery path to home.

Less than a month after "Family Guy" killed off one of its most popular characters, Brian Griffin came back to life on a special holiday episode Sunday night.
Brian, the white cartoon dog who drinks martinis and makes irreverent jokes, died on "Life of Brian," the Nov. 24 episode of the Fox animated series. He was run over by a car and his friend Stewie had destroyed his time machine, rendering the Griffin family unable to save their pet.
Fans were outraged -- the character, voiced by series creator Seth MacFarlane, had been a staple of the show for 11 seasons and was abruptly replaced by a new dog named Vinny, voiced by "The Sopranos" actor Tony Sirico. Thousands signed a petition demanding MacFarlane and the network "bring Brian back."
On Sunday's "Christmas Guy" episode, baby Stewie told a Santa Claus in the mall that he wants Brian back, too.
"I want my friend back," Stewie said. "My best friend, my dog, Brian; he's dead. It's our first Christmas without him and no one has even mentioned his name."
His Christmas wish must have come true, because Stewie then ran into his future self and traveled back in time to save Brian from the car accident.
Was it a miracle? Did the petition work? Or did "Family Guy" just make a shameless grab for some attention and a ratings boost?
Mediaite points out the show's episodes are typically worked on 10 months ahead of air dates, so the death and resurrection of Brian was likely planned all along.
"And thus endeth our warm, fuzzy holiday lesson: Never take those you love for granted, for they can be gone in a flash," MacFarlane wrote on Twitter after the episode aired. "I mean, you didn't really think we'd kill off Brian, did you? Jesus, we'd have to be f---ing high."

Project Title
Modelling system interdependency for sustainable food: The relationship between the environment, agriculture and nutritional food.
Project overview
My research aims to scope and model a systems approach to sustainable food. This ambitious task brings together the relationship between environmental stewardship, agricultural practice and the availability and consumption of nutritional food in society. To achieve this, I am collaborating with experts in agriculture, physics and medicine.
In the interests of human health, a growing world population will need to be fed nutritional food from an agricultural sector facing its own constraints of soil fertility and water shortages. In many places, the natural environment is severely stressed and is struggling to provide the services we enjoy for free and which remain largely ignored in simple economic models. So is there a way to regenerate the natural environment and feed the world with healthy food?
Some modelling of various elements of this system has already been published and this provides some input and support. My approach is to capture as much complexity as possible, network the relationships, write a model of an existing system, then test that model against historic reality and future scenarios.
By examining the interaction of food nutrition, agricultural practice and environmental health as an integrated system, we set ourselves up to explore the issues holistically rather than piecemeal. My research will strengthen the case supporting a policy of coordinated multiple interventions, thus improving our chances of achieving success in moving the whole system to a sustainable state.
I was born in country NSW, living the first half of my childhood in two country towns and the second half in the city.
In the mid 1980s I graduated from the Royal Military College, Duntroon and while serving as an Army Officer, earned a Bachelor of Business (Accounting) degree, which I studied part-time from Charles Sturt University.
Following my time in the military I worked for more than a decade in a variety of corporate roles covering operations, event management, business development, procurement and consulting in the FMCG, supply chain, manufacturing and investment industries in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore. Early in my commercial career I completed my Master of Business Administration from Macquarie University. For several months in both 2005 and 2007, I studied Mandarin intensively at Beijing Language and Culture University.
With a desire to change direction and career, I returned to Australia in mid 2008 to earn a Master of Applied Science (Environmental Science) and a Diploma of Arts (Philosophy) concurrently, both from the University of Sydney. This self-funded academic life continued when I commenced my PhD in mid 2010.
I have written and presented a paper at the Environmental Research Event 2011, held on Morton Island, Queensland; presented a poster at the Faculty's 2011 Symposium, "Resilience: Can our environment keep bouncing back?"; and participated in a conference on complex systems, which was held on Heron Island, Queensland in early 2012.

Following the gift of a camera in 1976, Warhol began to photographically document every aspect of his life from the people he met to graffiti on the streets. In 1986 he developed some of these images into what became known as his stitched photographs. Created by sewing several identical images together, these works are indebted to his early screenprints in their use of repetition and grid formation. By repeating the same image Warhol makes the strange and unexpected things we encounter on a daily basis part of an abstract, bigger whole - no less strange perhaps but not an isolated occurrence.

SOUTH HADLEY — A chain link fence enclosed the burned-out shell of Brunelle's Marina Monday, and a makeshift food service -- a grille under a tent -- was ordered closed by town officials, but the Brunelle family was busy meeting with insurance officials and preparing to rebuild their more than 50-year-old business.
Boaters' access to dock space and the Connecticut River, meanwhile, remained open.
Also Monday, the state Fire Marshal's office announced that the five-alarm fire that destroyed the Dockside restaurant and several other buildings at the marina on Friday was an accident caused by a failure in the restaurant electrical system.
Marina owner Luke A. Brunelle Jr., who discovered the fire early Friday, met with his insurance adjusters Monday. He said they agree with the Fire Marshal's determination of cause.
He said his immediate focus is getting water, phone and Internet service back.
The other immediate concern is bringing in a self-contained unit with stove and water so they can resume serving food under the tent. Over the weekend, they offered patrons hot dogs and hamburgers cooked on a grille.
The Board of Health inspector, though, said the family would need more sophisticated food production equipment. Brunelle he hopes to have that by the weekend. Brunelle's also has a seasonal beer and wine permit.
The restaurant and most of the adjoining buildings will be razed, Brunelle said.
According town records, the property was assessed for $1,125,500 for fiscal 2013.
A contractor was on site Monday to prepare an estimate of the cost to rebuild.
Brunelle's family has owned and operated the marina since 1959.
No one was in the building at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported.
Brunelle lives next door to the marina and had said that he heard the building's fire alarms going off around 6 a.m. on the morning of the fire. When he arrived at the building and opened the front door to the restaurant, he was greeted with a wall of smoke.

Intel and Asus put the dual boot in, offer 2-in-1 lapslab WinDroid
Intel is attempting to knock rivals' SoCs off with a dual-boot platform that lets you flip between Windows 8.1 and Google's mobile operating system on the same device. The chip giant announced delivery of dual-OS at CES 2014 with PC partner Asus, with the PC maker delivering the laptop/tablet hybrid to run it on: the 2-in-1 …
At different times...?
I'd rather be able to use both at the same time on one device. A bit like having a dual sim phone to avoid taking both work and personal phones everywhere... the BlueStacks stuff sounds more promising. As long as it isn't all emulator and thus power hungry, that is.
Re: At different times...?
quote: "the BlueStacks stuff sounds more promising. As long as it isn't all emulator and thus power hungry, that is."
Sounds like it is an emulator. The part I was slightly more wary about though was the part in the article where it said "and Android apps can access files stored inside the Windows file system, AMD said".
Convenience or security, pick one. Not sure I like the sound of apps being able to harvest info from the Windows install, and it probably all falls under the same "access to memory card" permission that the vast majority of ad-supported apps all ask for anyway. I'm assuming it will be a limited to a curated mount point rather than the whole filesystem by default (i.e. you select a windows folder to be a fake memory card), but I suspect even if it is, the first thing people are going to be trying to do is break out of that sandbox to get access to the whole filesystem.
Maybe I'm just too paranoid... :/
Re: At different times...?
Umm, I'd have to ask how is this new (at least the AMD bit of it)? Or is it just the version of Bluestacks and/or the hardware are optimised for one another, or a special hardware button to run the thing?
Bluestacks has been around for a while now, I have had it running on my Win7 laptop at home for a fair while. Works quite well (allowing for the lack of touch and gyroscopes etc on the laptop, but that's not bluestacks fault), although does seem to be somewhat resource-hungry.
A quick search from it via your engine of choice will turn up download links (http://bluestacks.com/ if I remember correctly, can't check as at work) and I think there are versions for Windows and OSX.
Re: At different times...?
BlueStacks has been around for a long time already. It's just Android x86 running in a virtual machine. It runs quite well (much faster than the emulator in the Android SDK) and you can download it for yourself to try it out, though it will probably try to install some annoying game or another every day.
Could be useful - no more mucking about with that dog-slow Android emulator for testing...
So, is what's really being said here
That Android is more desirable than Win8 for people on those kinds of machines but the Manufacturers still can't afford to piss of the Hand of Redmond just yet so they're keeping Win8 on it cos of the subsidies or something?
The mighty have fallen half way
A few years ago, Microsoft would not have tolerated dual boot from a major manufacturer. Perhaps a few years from now, customers will be able to choose what OS is pre-installed.
Re: The mighty have fallen half way
A few years ago, Microsoft would not have tolerated dual boot from a major manufacturer…
Now they'll take what they can get?
Intel using Windows compatibility as an argument to sell these devices and get itself established on Android. Personally, I can't really see the point and as soon as Android effectively supports the notebook form factor (keyboard and mouse) I suspect I'll buy one. And a licence for Windows on it, if I need it and the architecture is supported.
In the meantime I suspect I'll stick to the hodgepodge of machines for the job I have.
@Charlie Clark Re: The mighty have fallen half way
" as soon as Android effectively supports the notebook form factor (keyboard and mouse) .."
That would be the Asus Transformer, with integrated keyboard, released about 2 years ago. I have one, I plug a USB mouse in the side and I have run it with USB mouse, full size USB keyboard and memory stick plugged into a passive USB hub, just to see if it could be done.
@Charlie Clark Re: The mighty have fallen half way
Android has, as far as I know, always supported mouse and keyboards, USB or Bluetooth.
Got a Nexus 5 phone here (and have done the same on multiple devices since my old HTC Hero), plug my HID wireless receiver in for my Logitech keyboard and mouse, and magically a little black mouse pointer appears on screen and just works.
Re: @Charlie Clark The mighty have fallen half way
I've got a Transformer as well and it works pretty well, but there are still some applications for which I'll power up the PC and some websites which work poorly on all the Android browsers but work OK on their Windows versions. So for those reasons I'd be tempted by one of these, although price is of course the critical factor. It looks like it will be well over a grand in Australian money, which is probably a bit rich for me.
Re: The mighty have fallen half way
"as soon as Android effectively supports the notebook form factor (keyboard and mouse) I suspect I'll buy one." Good news then: the ASUS TF300T Transformer has a docking station with keyboard, touch-pad and USB port, that you can plug a mouse into. Or you can detach it and use as a tablet.
Why not just have android embedded a la Express Gate ? Oh yeah right, that's because 99% of the time you'll find yourself not needing windows.
Microsoft or Google?
Which is the lesser of two evils these days?
Re: Microsoft or Google?
Google of course is the lesser evil, they even had the slogan "Do no evil"......
Re: Microsoft or Google?
"Google of course is the lesser evil, they even had the slogan "Do no evil"......"
Along with their mission statement "Do no tax returns." Still, hardly alone in that goal I'm sure.
Decent Android Laptop
Is there a decent Android laptop available? Something with >=1Gb RAM, >=16Gb flash or takes SD cards, >=Tegra 3 chipset, lots of battery life, trackpad, keyboard, 10 to 13 inch screen.
If not, there should be.
Re: Decent Android Laptop
Closest is probably the Asus Transformer
Re: Decent Android Laptop
I still have my Toshiba AC100, but it was always more like what 'might have been'. Ended up sticking Lubuntu on it, because frankly the Android build supplied sucked and the such ROMs as I could find were little better. Would be nice to see someone do a modern take on it that doesn't suck.
Re: Decent Android Laptop
How about this from 2012 ?
I'd love something like that with Kit-Kat, updated specs and a touch screen.
What they don't tell you...
We all know Windows 8 sucks badly, But the x86 Android will suck badly too, as x86 applications that run native code on Android need specific x86 versions.
I certainly wouldn't buy a product running Android that's not ARM based.
Re: What they don't tell you...
"x86 applications that run native code on Android need specific x86 versions."
I'm not 100% sure I can parse that. An x86 application for a specific OS is an x86 application. A pure Android application running in the Android world shouldn't care whether it is in an ARM world or an x86 world; it's not "native" as such (for some definitions of "native") on either of them.
"I certainly wouldn't buy a product running Android that's not ARM based."
Much clearer, and indeed entirely sensible.
Re: What they don't tell you...
Android apps can have native libraries... e.g. (most if not all?) media players do that for performance reasons.
Re: What they don't tell you...
Android x86 does not suck. Since most Android apps are just Java they run out of the box. We have a Motorola RAZRi (Intel x86 phone) in the household and almost every app you would want is available (including numerous NDK-based apps which have simply been recompiled for x86).
Re: What they don't tell you...
No, We DON'T "all know Windows 8 sucks badly" - that is an article of faith in the anti-microsoft world, not an actual fact. Win 8 supports touch-screens, but works fine without it. I like the interface once I got used to it, and was disappointed when 8.1 put the start button back in; a retrograde step, but even 8.1 doesn't suck. it runs twice as fast on the same hardware as Win 7 did, for one thing: That is the first Windows upgade I can say that about.
Not sure of the point here
This is a 13.3" laptop with a screen that folds back into a tablet form factor. When it's in laptop mode you're going to want to use Windows. When it's in tablet mode it is a pretty big tablet I'm not sure what you're going to use it for that you can't do in Windows. Media players and web browsing are pretty well catered for in Windows 8. That basically leaves games and to me the screen size is too big to be useful on most games. Couple that with the fact that because this is an intel chip running Android, native code has to be emulated.
It's not like you're going to have access to your windows files from Android.
For me my tablet has become redundant, my phone has grown and my laptop has shrunk and that seems to cover everything I used my tablet for.
I am tempted
to strip out the win 8 and install a full-blown Linux on such a hybrid. My experiences to date with my transformer pad have been great, but a full LaTeX install and C(++) compiler would be nice on the road. My experiences to date with the Win 8 laptop have been less than stellar.
Bluestacks is not really an emulator, if I remember correctly. It is more like WINE: It implements the Android architecture in Windows.
I've used it before, and it is very good. Pretty quick, although it is resource hungry.
Seems Asus is a bit different
Looking at it again, the Asus one, Asus have simply removed their cut down quick start web browsing Linux and replaced it with Android.Quite obviously its cheaper Celeron ones that people will end up buying.
It looks quite out of place on an I7.
Asus have always been disruptivly innovative.
Sadly they also get tamed far too quickly by Microsoft and Intel. Lets see how this one pans out.
i'd do the contrary
There are way more useful Apps on Android than Windows 8.
What we want is an Android Laptop which can run Windows 8 apps rather than the contrary.
Re: i'd do the contrary
Just need someone to port Wine to Android then,. although would probably still need x86 rather than ARM to run at a reasonable pace.

Missed the point
The point of android is to run adequately on ARM. Running it on an i7 misses the point. Doing this with an arm chip which taps into the laptop's screen & battery is what is really wanted. Then you get massive battery life and enough CPU for most things and an x64 when you need more.

Kenner bureau
A new report on the former site of the sprawling Redwood apartment complex in Kenner recommends rezoning the land for a mix of residential and commercial uses, instead of returning to the high-density dwellings that were torn down after Hurricane Katrina.
Howie Raymond, whose family owns the property, said he "would not be opposed" to a mixed-use zoning designation.
"Right now we are in the idea stage of the development," he said, "looking at everything, all different possibilities."
Kenner doesn't have an appropriate mixed-use zoning designation, however. Its current commercial-residential zoning designation requires that a development be at least 75 percent commercial, but the Planning Department is studying creating a citywide designation in which the ratios would be more consistent, said Planning Director Jay Hebert. A new designation would require City Council approval.
The council last year called for a study on the 15-acre site on West Esplanade Avenue just east of Williams Boulevard. Redwood, a 400-unit housing complex with publicly subsidized rents, suffered heavy damage in Katrina and was demolished in 2006.
The study was conducted by the University of New Orleans' Planning Division, which found no shortage of multi-family housing in Kenner. About 55 percent of all land in Kenner is residential, and of that, 83 percent is single-family and 8 percent is multi-family.
"The number of multi-family units available in Kenner is not out of sync with other bedroom communities," UNO's 13-page report said.
(To read the report, click here.)
The report recommends Kenner create a new mixed-use zoning district and rezone the Redwood site to that designation. Such sites typically have shops or offices on first floors, topped by several floors of apartments, and are being promoted around the country, according to the report.
"Mixed-use developments are popular around the country and are now beginning to pop up around Louisiana," the report said, citing Bossier City, Hammond, Covington, Lafayette, Baton Rouge and Prairieville.
The report includes two examples of upscale developments that mix apartments with shops, restaurants, boutiques and offices: Perkins Rowe in Baton Rouge and Mizner Apartments in Boca Raton, Fla.
"I think what is taking place across the country is something that benefits both businesses and communities," said Kenner City Councilman Joe Stagni, whose district includes the Redwood site. He said mixed residential and commercial use especially benefit aging communities.
In studying the mixed-use zoning, the Planning Department is examining such developments in other areas and the local market for them, Hebert said.
"We have found there most certainly is a market right now for mixed-use developments," he said.
Redwood's neighbors in the Highway Park subdivision are adamant that they don't want cheap rental units packed onto the site, he said.
"The calls that I've received from the community (are) that they definitely do not want high-density, low-income housing for the fear that it is going to turn into what we see on Martinique just across West Esplanade," he said. Martinique Avenue has been the site of several homicides in recent years, as well as many lesser criminal and code violations.
Norma Treigle, a Highway Park resident and secretary of a homeowners association, agreed.
"We want to be proud of our neighborhood," Treigle said. "We have a good group of neighbors."
When asked about putting low-income housing at the Redwood site, Raymond, the owner, said, "We'd rather not, but if that makes the most sense ... ." He said the Redwood development existed there for 36 years as "high-quality, low-income housing."
Raymond said his family company, Dorvin Developments, helped build Chateau Estates in Kenner, Ormond Estates in Destrehan and Stonebridge in Gretna. He said the company is looking at all options.
"I have total confidence that whatever we develop it will be first class," he said.

From the fun to the bizarre, Sunday's 2013 American Music Awards had something for everyone. Rapper Pitbull served as the master of ceremonies as the show moved viewers seamlessly through all genres of popular music. One Direction gave their best Mumford and Sons impression, a surprisingly low-key Christina Aguilera performed with A Great Big World and Jennifer Lopez paid a vibrant tribute to Celia Cruz. And, those weren't even most entertaining moments. Here are five of the show's top moments, for better or worse:
TLC reunites with Lil Mama?
Perhaps, this was a good idea in theory. Fresh off of a successful VH1 biopic, TLC decided to grace the stage with Lil Mama standing in for fallen member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez (Mama also played her in the movie.) The results were blasphemous, according to social media:
Left Eyes ghost gotta haunt somebody for this.— Desus (@desusnice) November 25, 2013
Lil Mama and TLC didn't rehearse the same dance moves......— Charlamagne Tha God (@cthagod) November 25, 2013
In addition to not having the choreography down, Lil Mama also warbled through Left Eye's classic "Waterfalls" rap. All of it was all bad. Don't believe me? Watch below:
The Justin Timberlake-Taylor Swift Music Awards
There was no question which two pop stars owned the night. Justin Timberlake and Taylor Swift both took home three awards each. Timberlake won big in the R&B categories, winning both Favorite Male Artist and Favorite Album, Soul/R&B. He also picked up the award for Favorite male Pop Rock Artist at the top of the night. Taylor Swift didn't do too shabby either. She picked up Favorite Country Album, Favorite Country Female Artist and Artist of the Year for the third time in the row. To celebrate, the two performed a duet of Swift's surprise, "Oh my God, can't believe I won but always win everything" face:
Oh yeah, Timberlake also performed. So here's that:
Miley Cyrus leaves (most of) the antics and brings the vocals
Much to the relief of everyone ever, Miley Cyrus left the marijuana and the twerking teddy bears at home for her "Wrecking Ball" performance. Instead, she showed off another fun thing about her: she can actually sing. Her voice more than made up for a mostly empty stage. But, she didn't keep it all plain. A large, lip syncing and slightly terrifying kitten appeared behind her for majority of the song. At one point it even cried diamond tears.
Lady Gaga and President Robert F. Kelly
Lady Gaga reunited with R. Kelly to perform a more fleshed-out live version of their duet of "Do What You Want." Instead of sticking to the bizarre "Saturday Night Live" version, the two formed a storyline around the song that was one part "Scandal" and about five parts a JFK tribute. Gaga took the role of a White House receptionist who also doubled as a Marilyn Monroe look-a-like. R. Kelly, on the other hand, played the President. It was an odd choice, considering Friday was the 50th anniversary of the real President Kennedy's death. Watch below:
Rihanna's mom's cute tribute
OK, how adorable was Rihanna's mom? Monica Fenty presented her daughter with the inaugural Icon Award with a little bit of church and pride mixed in. She recalled Rihanna's rise to fame and the trials along the way with admiration. "I know the journey in your career has not always been an easy one." Rihanna also strangely got props from Bill Maher. Also, she inexplicably performed and hit the stage twice without taking her roller wrap down, bobby pins and all. Check out the acceptance speech below:

Council debates pipes and bikes
Giving a lane of Island Crest Way to pedestrians and bikes, splitting the sewer lake line project into two and debating the upcoming parks levy were some of the more compelling issues discussed by the City Council and staff during the annual winter planning session Jan. 25-27.
During a discussion about Island traffic and parking, new City Councilmember Bruce Bassett suggested the city look into the impacts of reducing one lane on Island Crest Way south of Merrimount Drive.
"When I was campaigning I heard transportation was an important issue," Bassett said. "I want to throw out there the idea of a road diet. To reduce Island Crest Way from 44th down to three lanes. That would give the space for bike lanes and safer pedestrian crossings. Plus it ties in well with [the new improvements] at Merrimount now."
The city installed traffic barriers that restrict turns at the intersection of Island Crest Way and Merrimount last October. During the next several months, a video camera and traffic engineers will be monitoring the changes. A report to the Council on the modification is due in June. Bassett said the current southbound configuration at the intersection, where only the left lane goes through, allows the opportunity to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians on the Islands major arterial. Such space would become available by converting one lane south of the intersection for bicyclists and pedestrians.
The city plans to present its findings during its street improvement planning sessions that take place in May and June during regularly scheduled Council meetings.
The city will also be taking samples of a portion of the North end sewer lake line that has not experienced the breaks and failures that another segment has had lately. Concerned that the $20-million project was too expensive, Councilmember Dan Grausz suggested that the city determine if the second segment is necessary.
"If it weren't for the breaks [around Faben Point], then you wouldn't be telling us there is a problem," Grausz said.
Councilmember Mike Grady argued for replacing the entire line regardless of the lack of know breaks or failures in the second section.
"When I am told that there is wear and exposure on two of my car tires, I don't get just the two replaced. I get all four," Grady said.
City staff plans to come back before the Council in May with results of the pipe's stability in both sections and the potential costs of fixing only one line should the other be found to be in good condition.
The Council also discussed the upcoming parks levy expected to be put before Island voters as early as this May.
The city is developing a list of capital improvement projects for its parks and ballfields and will be sending out a survey to the public in the coming weeks. A final list of projects will be presented to the Council in a month's time if the Council still chooses to have the measure during a special May election.
According to the city attorney, Bob Sterbank, the city should devise a ballot measure that allows some flexibility in completing the voter-approved projects.
"You want to make sure you make sure the voters are comfortable, knowing what they are going to get, what is on the list but with the flexibility for yourself to take into account variable grant funding or retiring levies," Sterbank said.
Councilmember Mike Cero said he was concerned about the amount of money this levy would charge to Island taxpayers combined with the school levy and other city needs.
A document prepared by the city's finance director, Chip Corder, displayed the potential increase in property taxes for Island residents associated with 2008 ballot measures.
The school district's capital improvements and technology levy of $10 million would cost the average Island homeowner $397 a year. The city's potential 12-year parks levy of $12 to $13 million, which would bring the city about $682,000 to $865,000 a year, would cost the average Island homeowner $88 to $113 each year. If not included in the parks levy, then $325,000 per year would be needed for operation and maintenance of Luther Burbank Park. That would cost about $38 a year per Island home.
Funding the sewer lake line at $20 million could add another $50 a year. The city is also working with Puget Sound Energy to put some power lines underground in the South end, which would cost around $3 million. Corder told the Council that the amount that will be charged to Island taxpayers is undetermined at this time, but some of the cost would have to come from homeowners.
Corder then pointed out that there are five other unfunded issues for the city. Those include the city's contributions to the new regional dispatch center called NORCOMM, repairs at the South end fire station, resolving transportation issues and acquiring openspace when they become available.

text: SOCIAL COHESION AND HUMAN NATURE friends and foes�friends, towards whom we have the morality of co-operation; foes, towards whom we have that of competition. But this division is con- stantly changing; at one moment a man hates his business competitor, at another, when both are threatened by Socialism or by an external enemy, he suddenly begins to view him as a brother. Always when we pass beyond the limits of the family it is the external enemy which supplies the cohesive force. In times of safety we can afford to hate our neighbour, but in times of danger we must love him. People do not, at most times, love those whom they find sitting next to them in a bus, but during the blitz they did. It is this that makes the difficulty of devising means of world-wide unity. A world state, if it were firmly established, would have no enemies to fear, and would therefore be in danger of breaking down through lack of cohesive force. Two great religions� Buddhism and Christianity�have sought to extend to the whole human race the co-operative feeling that is spontaneous towards fellow tribesmen. They have preached the brotherhood of Man, showing by the use of the word "brotherhood" that they are attempting to extend beyond its natural bounds an emotional attitude which, in its origin, is biological. If we are all children of God, then we are all one family. But in practice those who in theory adopted this creed have always felt that those who did not adopt it were not children of God but children of 19

Vacations are supposed to be the ideal time to relax and not worry about incessant phone calls, hectic schedules and the other stresses of the work-week. While the holiday checklist includes the essentials like sunscreen, camera, medicines, et al, more often than not, the basic necessities are often ignored. In our holiday excitement, we tend to ignore how we treat our bodies and its need for nourishment. Keeping oneself hydrated and consuming beverages that are safe and hygienic is as important as getting that photograph clicked.
Milk is a complete health drink containing most of the nutrients essential for our well-being. Don't ignore your daily glass of milk during your holidays. Some may feel that consuming milk while travelling should be avoided as they are unsure of the quality. But with safe and hygienic options available, we can ensure that this wholesome food is not skipped. UHT (Ultra-High Temperature) treated milk that is available in cartons is 100% preservative free and ensures fresh, high quality milk. This milk does not need to be boiled before consumption and does not need to be refrigerated till the carton is opened. This makes it perfect to carry and store during your travels. All this without compromising on quality or nutrition.

Patients with lymphedema—chronic swelling of the limbs or other areas of the body due to the damage or removal of lymph nodes—are benefiting from a unique technique being pioneered by two surgeons at Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan, Joseph Dayan, MD, and Mark Smith, MD, Co-Directors of the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman Center for Lymphedema Research and Treatment.
The technique, called Reverse Lymphatic Mapping, improves a microsurgical procedure, Lymph Node Transfer, in which lymph nodes are transplanted from a non-affected part of the body to the affected part. The lymph nodes then connect with the small vessels that begin filtering waste and draining fluid from the body. The mapping technique enables physicians to use new imaging technology to help them determine which lymph nodes can be safely transplanted so they do not cause lymphedema in another area of the body.
"Lymph Node Transfer safely restores the physiological function of an extremity and gives us hope for improving the function rather than just managing it," says Dr. Smith. He and Dr. Dayan have performed 50 procedures to date. They have also consulted with surgeons in Israel and Taiwan, who have started using the technique. In Taiwan, they performed a live surgical demonstration of their technique before an audience of 150 microsurgeons from around the world.
Recently, Drs. Dayan and Smith received top honors for the "Best Presentation," at the Northeastern Society of Plastic Surgeons Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.
As many as one-third of all breast cancer patients, and those who have been treated for other cancers such as melanoma, develop lymphedema, which can impair normal activities and predispose people to infections. Traditionally, lymphedema has been managed with massage therapy, or by wearing compression garments that prevent swelling.
Dr. Dayan says the scientific research he and Dr. Smith are gathering about the technique will shed new light on inner workings of the human lymphatic system. "There has been very little research conducted on the lymphatic system because it's largely invisible," he says. "But lymph vessels are everywhere, and may have a crucial role in other disease states, as well."
The surgeons, founding members of the American Society for Lymphatic Surgery, recently published their findings online in the Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery.
According to Lester Silver, MD, Chief of Plastic Surgery at The Mount Sinai Hospital: "There are many patients whose lymph nodes are absent or not functioning, who will greatly benefit from this procedure. By reducing the swelling in their limbs, patients have less pain, fewer infections, and a more comfortable lifestyle."

A titular see of North Africa. The city, said to have been founded by the Libyan Hercules, belonged to King Jugurtha, who had deposited his treasures there; it was captured by Marius in 106 B.C. and destroyed, but later became a Roman colony. When Africa was divided into two provinces by Justinian, it was assigned to Byzacena. Under Justinian the Duke of Byzacena resided there and the town which was protected by a strong citadel, was called Justiniana Capsa . In the eleventh century after the Arab conquest, more than two hundred flourishing villages stood in the surrounding region. Five bishops, one a Donatist, are known from 255 to 484 ( Morcelli, Africa Christiana, 1, 118, Gams, 464).
The modern name of the town is Gafsa; it is situated in a most fertile oasis, about 81 miles west of Gabes and 128 west of Sfax, with which it is connected by a railway. The oasis has about 5000 inhabitants trading in dates, carpets, and wool rugs. It is well watered, has magnificent palm-trees, and is an important centre for French military and civil administration in Tunisia.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

The new year continues to bring unprecedented awards for the Bridgewater-Raritan High School Band.
On Friday, March 1, at 7:30 p.m., the Wind Ensemble will perform in the Mid-Atlantic Honors Wind Band Festival at Nicholas Auditorium. This prestigious festival invites just the top three bands to perform.
This position was earned by last year's 2012 Honors Wind Ensemble — which included sophomores, juniors and the class of 2012 seniors. A CD had been submitted to the Mid-Atlantic Honors Wind Band Festival, and through blind adjudication via an independent panel of judges from across the Mid-Atlantic Region of the country, the BRHS Wind Ensemble was selected.
In recent years, bands from New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Connecticut have performed at this event, and BRHS has performed at this event two other times in the past.
Earlier in January, the band held the first ever "BRHS Jazz Plus Alumni" performance at the high school where alumni from the music department were invited to play along with the jazz band. The idea was created by artistic director Larry Markiewicz, and was quickly circulated by word of mouth and social networks to the alumni by the current jazz band students. With the help of 2012 alumni and 2012 Drum Major Nick Mossa, 12 BRHS alumni played on stage with the current band. There were no more than two open rehearsals for the alumni and band to get together to select charts and connect or reconnect.
On Jan. 13, the Central Jersey Music Educators Association Region Concert (CJMEA) was held at Montgomery High School, where BRHS musicians held seven seats in the Orchestra, 14 in the Symphonic Band and 13 in the Wind Ensemble, and on Saturday, February 23, 20 members of the BRHS Band performed in the All-State Band at NJ Performing Arts Center.
Finally, some very exciting news is that the BRHS Symphonic and Wind Ensemble bands will perform at Carnegie Hall on Friday evening, March 15. Student and adult tickets for this performance are avaialble at the Carnegie Hall Box Office.

Penn State's defense isn't the only unit responsible for matching up with Indiana's high-powered offense.
The Nittany Lions offense must craft a plan for matching the Hoosiers' fast tempo, coach Bill O'Brien said today. That means pre-game preparation and in-game adjustments to make sure the PSU defense doesn't get stuck in difficult situations.
Indiana pushes the pace with an offense that leads the Big Ten and ranks eighth nationally in passing. The Hoosiers run nearly 77 plays per game, averaging 7.2 yards a pop.
Indiana runs a nearly equal split between rushes (154) and passes (152), but moves so quickly that opponents have managed a nearly nine-minute advantage (34:12 to 25:48) in time of possession.
"When you go out there, if it's been somewhat of a long drive for the defense or even a quick scoring drive, you've got to be careful," O'Brien said. "If you think you're going to go fast tempo and you go three plays and out in 30 seconds, that's not great for your defense, either."
This weekend could mean an even heavier does of the Nittany Lions' three-headed rushing attack. Penn State has averaged 210 rushing yards and scored 11 touchdowns over the last three games, with Zach Zwinak, Bill Belton and Akeel Lynch all getting involved.
Meanwhile, the Hoosiers rank last in the Big Ten and 115th nationally in run defense, allowing 247.8 yards per game. Establishing the run early and often can put quarterback Christian Hackenberg in more manageable situations and set up play-action.
Penn State has a balance to strike between staying true to itself, which means strategic doses of O'Brien's NASCAR offense, and adapting a plan specific for the opponent.
"You have to get a feel for that during the game," O'Brien said. "You have to have a plan for it in place going into the game, how much you're going to want to try and [push the tempo]. When you get into the game, get a feel for it and see how much you can actually do it."

I have been following SU basketball since the 70s. This year's squad looks like a solid Final Four team. My main concern is free-throw shooting. How big of a concern is free-throw shooting to the coaching staff right now?
It's a concern. I think the coaching staff knew that guys like Arinze Onuaku and Rick Jackson would drag down the team's percentage, but in close games the players with the ball would be Brandon Triche, Scoop Jardine, Andy Rautins and Wes Johnson. However, Jardine's the only one shooting better than 70 percent.
It's the shooting of Triche, Rautins and Johnson that's cause for some concern.
Has Syracuse ever been a No. 1 seed?
This question came as a result of ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi giving Syracuse a No. 1 seed this past week in his latest estimation of the NCAA Tournament field.
Syracuse has been a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament on just one occasion. The Orange received the No. 1 seed in the 1980 tourney. That year, SU received a first-round bye, beat Villanova (which had yet to become a full-fledged member of the Big East) and then lost to Iowa.
Was (Michael) Jordan's final game with UNC a loss at the Carrier Dome?
You're killing a Carolina grad with this question.
While Jordan and the Tar Heels did lose to Georgia in the NCAA East Region final at the Carrier Dome in 1983, that was not Jordan's final college game.
Jordan stayed at Carolina for three years, through the 1983-84 season. His final game came in the 1984 NCAA Tournament when Indiana upset North Carolina in the East Region semifinals in Atlanta.
It was said earlier that (Dion) Waiters could be a McDonald's All-American. Any chance for (Syracuse's other recruits)?
Of Syracuse's four recruits in the Class of 2010, Waiters and Fabricio de Melo have the best chance of being named to the McDonald's All-American Game. Waiters, a 6-foot-4 guard at Life Center Academy in Burlington, N.J., is ranked 14th in the ESPNU Top 100. De Melo, a 7-foot center at Sagemont School in Westin, Fla., is ranked 20th.
Another SU recruit with an outside shot is C.J. Fair. Fair is a 6-7 forward from Baltimore, Md., who is attending Brewster Prep in Wolfboro, N.H. He's currently rated No. 59 in ESPNU's Top 100. He'd have to get off to a great start to the season to make up ground in the eyes of the voters.

How It Works
The motion sensor also features a secondary dusk / dawn control feature that is accessible with computer controllers such as HouseLinc or ISY-99.

Note About PIR Sensors
Also, please note that certain types of treated glass may or may not act as an infrared 'wall' through which a motion sensor can detect. If you want to detect motion through glass, we recommend you test it in your particular application. Note: Any accumulation of ice, snow or dirt on the Fresnel lens may also interfere with the motion sensors ability to detect motion.

King County Sheriff's Office to close Kenmore precinct Dec. 5
The King County Sheriff's Kenmore and Maple Valley precincts will be closing their doors to the public starting Dec. 5. These precincts will be combined with other facilities in the next few weeks.
The closure is part of an effort by the Sheriff's Office to save money and move deputies closer to the citizens and communities they serve. Sheriff Sue Rahr estimates that the moves will save King County taxpayers more than $8 million over the next 20 years by closing these facilities.
"We are saving money, strengthening our relationships with our contract city partners, and improving our access and visibility for the benefit of the citizens of King County," noted Rahr.
Anyone who uses the Kenmore precinct may go to the Shoreline precinct for fingerprinting and concealed-pistol licenses. Shoreline provides these services on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays by appointment only. The Shoreline Station is located at 1206 N. 185th St. Residents can make appointments by calling (206) 801-2710.
For more help or information, call (206) 296-4155 or visit the Sheriff's Office Web site at: http://www.kingcounty.gov/safety/sheriff.aspx
