NORTH KINGSTOWN – If you were among the motorists who frequented Route 2 from the Route 4 interchange in East Greenwich this past week, and had to drive through the restriping process by the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT), you'll be happy to know the project is meant to enhance better and safer driving.
KINGSTON – Under the artistic direction of Natalie Zhu, the Kingston Chamber Musical Festival will present its 23rd season at the University of Rhode Island through July 31.
Founded in 1989 by violinist David Kim, the festival strives to present the finest quality chamber music to the widest possible audience. Musicians from across the country appear annually during the two-week summer festival of six concerts held on the peaceful URI campus.
HOPKINTON - The town council has been operating with only four members since the resignation of council member Jonathan Osborne in April, but a special election held on Tuesday, July 26, will decide who will fill the seat for the remainder of the term, which lasts until November 2012.
The three candidates in the election are Frank T. Landolfi, David Husband and Edward D, Gaul.
With school out and high humidity here for the summer, families may want to take advantage of the local Briar Point Beach for a dip.
The beach has been open on weekends since the beginning of June, according to lifeguard Rebecca Searly.
"We opened up full-time on June 18," she said.
By DAVID PEPIN
The featured performer for this year's Summer's End concert can boast of having spent the past 15 years working with a music legend…and having received his big break in show business from a boxing legend.
John Pagano, a Providence native whose repertoire ranges from pop chestnuts to rhythm and blues, will be performing with the R.I. Philharmonic at the town's annual concert, to be held Friday, Sept. 2, at Eldredge Field. Rain date for the show is Saturday, Sept. 3.
Pagano, who began his career in the '80s as an R&B singer, has been a featured vocalist since 1997 with Burt Bacharach, the pianist and songwriter responsible for many entries in the canon of pop music standards over the past 50 years. Along with two female singers and an 11-piece orchestra (including his brother Vinny, its drummer), they have toured throughout much of the world, most recently a six-date swing through Italy.
"The girls cover many of his hits, and I do all the male songs," says Pagano, who usually performs "This Guy's In Love with You," "What the World Needs Now (Is Love Sweet Love)," "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head," "Any Day Now" and "God Give Me Strength."
Now living in southern California, Pagano returns roughly every three months to visit his family, and tries to work in a shown or two while he's in the area.
Before meeting Bacharach, and before recording a CD on MCA, however, came his "discovery" by that noted musical talent scout…Mike Tyson (yes, the former world heavyweight champion).
"I played in a band called Xpo around Albany with my brother. Mike trained about a half-hour away, and he came and saw us and took a liking to my band and my voice. He said I ought to sing the national anthem at one of his fights," Pagano remembers.
In 1989, Pagano stood in the center of the ring as the Las Vegas Hilton and sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" prior to Tyson's successful title defense against Frank Bruno.
In the audience that night was an assistant to Irving Azoff, one of the recording industry's giants, then chairman of MCA records.
"She saw me in the elevator on my way to the afterparty, and I met Azoff two days later," Pagano says. While he had been discussing a record deal with Warner Brothers at the time, he ended up signing with MCA, which led to his first encounter with Bacharach and his then-wife, songwriter Carole Bayer Sager.
"Azoff took me over to see him because he was looking for material for my album, but Burt didn't have anything that fit," says Pagano.
The MCA CD, he recalls, was "very of the times, uptempo," on which Bacharach's more ballad-oriented tunes would've been out of place. "I was the only white guy in MCA's R&B division."
Plans for a second CD never materialized, but in 1997, "I received a call from Burt out of the blue. He was getting ready to tour, but had never toured with a male vocalist before. I told him I was surprised he remembered me, and he said he had never forgotten my voice."
NARRAGANSETT—The trail begins at Annie Hoxsie Lane across from the Narragansett Town Beach, unassumingly sliding into the woods. The path is about six feet wide and winds along the Chafee Wildlife Preserve on Boston Neck Road. The underbrush is thick. The ground water gathers at places, saturating the ground. Nature abounds, yet without the work of the Narragansett Tree Society, headed by William Bivona, and Narragansett Boy Scout Troop 2, this trail would have never been accessible.

Defending that Heisman just got a little more difficult. Mark Ingram already had a tough road to hoe in that regard, what with Trent Richardson breathing down his neck, the Alabama passing game likely improving (and therefore eating up larger chunks of yardage) and the inexperienced Alabama defense likely giving up longer drives here and there. Now he will be missing at least one game to boot. Ingram underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee this morning and will miss, at the very least, the free opportunity for yardage known as San Jose State.

Fresh Fiction
WEEKENDS REQUIRED is a wonderful introduction into a series revolving around the Danvers Corporation and its many characters. Sydney Landon's foray into contemporary romance has just the right amount of angst, sass, sexiness, humor and of course romance. I fell in love with the supporting cast and was happy to know that they will be showcased in future books. It is easy to see that Landon will be winning some devoted fans with her series.
NOT PLANNING ON YOU: Landon's second installment in this series is even better than the first. The characters are so real they jump off the page straight into your heart. Those with tough outer skins were undeniably the most vulnerable. Landon writes from her heart and once again engages her audience in some really lively repartee. I can't wait for number three.
FALL FOR ME is a truly delightful tale full of emotions and misunderstandings. Sydney Landon certainly knows how to create a fire hot affair and turn it into a loving and beautiful thing. I could not put this book down until I turned the very last page. Thank goodness I have two more of her books waiting in the wings!
FIGHTING FOR YOU is the second book I have had the distinct pleasure of reading from Sydney Landon. Her books are not just stories but true works of art. Emotion and personal feelings are portrayed through her characters in a unique way. The reader feels what the characters are feeling. The story was colorful and a "read at one session" kind of tale. I couldn't wait to get to the next page to see what happened next. I truly love this very talented author and her stories.
PIERCED is the first of the new series Sydney has created. This is the story of Lucian, a sexy business man who always gets what he wants, and Lia a struggling college kid who had a tough go at life. What exactly would the two of them have in common?? You HAVE to read this book to find out! It is So incredibly HOTTT and steamy! Extremely hard to set down and participate in real life you just want to sit down and read it the entire way thru, NEVER a dull moment! Full of surprises as you turn each page.

Will the Reserve Bank hold or hike the repo rate?
A range of crucial economic factors will have a bearing on the monetary policy committee's decision to be announced on Thursday.
A range of crucial economic factors will have a bearing on the monetary policy committee's decision to be announced on Thursday.
The IMF will update its global economic outlook this week, while investors look at a rates decision in Nigeria and inflation numbers in South Africa.
Inflation in Africa's second biggest economy has bust out of the Reserve Bank's target band again in May.
Zimbabwe needs to repair its relations with Western powerhouses in order to get it economic development back on track, says a report.
The SA Reserve Bank forecasts consumer inflation in the continent's number two economy will average 6.3% in 2014. Here's your economic week ahead.
The rand is down and inflation is up, but has not yet breached the Reserve Bank's upper target range.
SA will release last month's inflation figures, while economists keep tabs on Ukraine since Sunday's vote by Crimeans to join the Russian Federation.
ANALYSIS: A frail currency pushes up inflation and has no effect on productivity.
Moses Mozart Dzawu, Ekow Dontoh
Ghana's central bank will meet two weeks earlier than planned, to decide how to respond to a weaker currency and inflationary pressures.
Derivatives used to speculate interest rates tumbled after South African inflation was found to be lower than expected.
Following the Central Bank of Nigeria's announcement of its rates decision, investors will turn their attention to SA's latest inflation figures.
South Africa needs to shield itself against capital outflows by boosting its foreign currency reserves, says Reserve Bank governor Gill Marcus.
The rally of the rand in recent days will likely continue to lose steam as the market looks out for a decision to cut monthly bond purchases.
The rand has slumped to a six-week low and bond yields soared to the highest in 16 months.
SA's latest inflation figures, manufacturing updates from China and housing data from the US are some of this week's big items on the data diary.
SA inflation figures, indicators of growth in Europe and China, US corporate earnings reports and elections in Japan will make for a busy week.
Labour unrest that has taken new and more challenging forms is compounding the effects of slumping commodity prices.
Andres R. Martinez, Franz Wild
Retail-sales growth has slowed in March from a year earlier as inflation has remained close to the top of the central bank's target.
New weightings show that oil and electricity will continue to dictate the inflation trajectory.

Laidlaw College, formerly known as Bible College of New Zealand (BCNZ), is an evangelical Bible college in New Zealand. The college offers tertiary courses in biblical, theological, historical and pastoral studies. It also offers teaching and counseling degrees. Some students go on to serve as pastors and missionaries, both full-time and part-time.
The college began in 1922 as the Bible Training Institute (BTI) under the leadership of Rev. Joseph Kemp, a Baptist preacher and pastor of the Auckland Baptist Tabernacle. In 1972 the Institute was renamed the Bible College of New Zealand. It has since grown to become one of the largest tertiary theological institutions in the South Pacific.[2]
In June 2008, BCNZ announced it had acquired MASTERS Institute, a school of education for training primary school teachers. In August 2008, the enlarged college was renamed Laidlaw College in honour of Robert Laidlaw.[3]
Along with the transition to a new name in August 2008, College programmes underwent a process of simplification and strengthening. All degree students at Laidlaw now study a core set of courses designed to ground students in the biblical story and bring them into "thoughtful dialogue with different perspectives" to prepare for "effective engagement with society."[4] These courses are:
- Biblical Theology – learning the big story
- Ways of Knowing – laying down the core skills of thinking well
- Formation – building a faith of the heart and of the mind
- Worldview and Ways of Life – beginning to grapple with the big ideas

This is my super amazing horse Destiny, she's turning 6 on May 14, 2014, and I've owned her for (almost) 2 years. She is an American Quarter Horse mare. She's a lovely liver chestnut sabino, sorry for the bad quality pictures. It was our english picture but considering we are terrible at english, I changed it lol She does everything, but our main events are cattle (ranch sorting) and speed events (barrel racing, gymkhana). She is a buckle winner, saddle winner, and money earner. She's amazing and I love her dearly.
Our Latest Achievment?
Our latest achievement is.... we are working our way up with liberty training, she's doing really well with it and is now free lunging (no lunge line) as well as will follow me at a trot and when I turn and put my hand out, she skids to a stop and walks up. This horse continues to amaze me every time I am with her.

Aftermath Of The Drunken St. Patty's Day Text
2. Analyze the situation – Who did you text? Was it a coworker, ex-boyfriend, current love interest? When was the last time you talked to this person? What is your history like with this person? Are you on good terms or bad terms with this person?
3. Evaluate the response (or lack thereof) – How did the other person respond? Or did they not respond at all? Was it a positive response or a not so positive response?
4. Develop a game plan – How will you rectify the situation? Is it something that you can just let go, or will you need to sit down and have a talk with the other person?
Your response will depend entirely on the circumstances of your situation. If you had a positive response to your drunken text, then maybe love is in your future. If you are feeling utterly embarrassed, it may be beneficial to sit down with the other party to apologize. I think that anyone can relate to drunken texting, so chances are the other person will be accepting of your apology. Speak from the heart and do so when sober.
I personally have seen drunken texts go both ways. I have seen an "I love you" drunk text that received "I love you" in return. And I have also seen a drunken "I love you" text turn into an all-out fight, tears, and a break up!
Bottom line is to stay calm, develop a game plan, and take care of your problems immediately on March 18th. And pop a couple of Tylenols before you get started!... But please don't let it happen again. Delete those old phone numbers out of your phone, ask your friends in advance to STOP you, and download an app on your phone to prevent this from happening again!

Some of the details became public Tuesday in canine tragedy in Decatur County that came close to involving Barton County this week.
According to state records, it was Jeff Fortin, of Beaver Creek Kennel, outside of Oberlin in northwest Kansas, who received the state permits to dispose of dog carcasses on rural property that he owns.
The permit was received Dec. 6, and a KDHE letter was sent out Dec. 8, outlining the "authorization #635, disposal of solid waste without a permit located in ... Decatur County. Disposal of unprocessed livestock carcasses (canines)."

Mercury Systems Announces Breakthroughs In Module And Subsystem Cooling Technologies For OpenVPX
CHELMSFORD, Mass., Dec. 18, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mercury Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:MRCY) ( www.mrcy.com ), a best-of-breed provider of commercially developed, open sensor and Big Data processing systems for critical commercial, defense and intelligence applications, announced industry-leading innovations in thermal management for air-cooled, conduction-cooled and VITA 48 subsystem chassis. These new solutions establish Mercury as a forerunner in addressing the insatiable industry demand for more processing performance at the mezzanine, module and system levels. Because more and more heat is generated by increasing levels of performance, discharging that heat out of today's advanced computing solutions is more challenging than ever.
"Our new thermal-management solutions are capable of dissipating tremendous amounts of thermal energy, while still meeting the same or smaller size, weight and power requirements for the overall solution," said Darryl McKenney, Vice President of Mercury's Engineering Services team. "By understanding the thermal profile for each specific component that makes up a system, we created innovations in the mass transfer of thermal energy that work at the individual component, module and subsystem level."
According to Paul Monticciolo, Vice President and CTO of Mercury Systems, "These new cooling technologies offer tremendous benefits for our customers that are looking to take advantage of current and future high-performance, high-power sensor processing technologies. We feel this technology will be quickly adopted into a wide range of applications; it's another example of Mercury innovation."Air-Cooled Solution Mercury's improved air-cooled integrated XMC thermal solution addresses the need for a standards-based approach to draw heat away from today's high-powered mezzanine cards, then onto the carrier module and ultimately out of the system in air-cooled environments. By adding "hooks" that connect to a thermal bridge between the card and module, the solution typically reduces mezzanine card temperatures by more than 5 degrees Celsius. This results in a five-times improvement in MTBF (mean time between failures), while remaining compliant with the VITA 48.1 mechanical specification for air cooling.

I'm very fond of this sculpture. It feels like the inside of my brain while watching TV at 8:58 p.m. on a Wednesday. And that, when you think about it, is quite a feat for a sculpture.
The work is called "Jack Lemmon," and it was made last year by Rachel Harrison, a brilliant artist in her mid-40s who lives and works in Brooklyn, N.Y. It's on display in the permanent collection galleries at the Institute of Contemporary Art, on long-term loan from the benefactor Barbara Lee.
"Jack Lemmon" does everything you could ask of a sculpture, and more. It shows a recognizable figure. It's deliriously colorful. And it has a whole array of careful — but not neurotically careful; in fact, rather delightfully insouciant — formal tensions: rhyming horizontals, a certain off-kilter lean to the left, a jaunty sense of movement.
It also boasts — and here's where things get really good — an idiotically grinning Dick Cheney rubber mask, a nylon Puma tracksuit, a pair of reflective sunglasses, and a big, abstract blob of colorfully painted cement.
Can I explain it to you?

Iran and its ally Hezbollah have been quick to claim kinship with the mass demonstrations in Egypt, describing them as part of a "regional Islamic awakening," but the reaction from Egypt's own Islamic movement has been lukewarm.
WSJ's Margaret Coker updates the impasse between Egyptian president Mubarak and protesters. Also, Smart Money's Janet Paskin on signs the bond market bubble could burst, and Mitra Kalita on consumers paying cash for homes, sensing a housing bottom.
The latest endorsement of the protesters came Monday when Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the political and militant Shiite group Hezbollah, gave a televised speech to a crowd of several hundred supporters gathered at an auditorium in south Beirut waving Egyptian and Hezbollah flags.
"The resistance Egyptians demonstrate does not differ from the resistance of Hezbollah during the 2006 war with Israel," Mr. Nasrallah said. "I wish to be with you and offer my blood to support your cause."
Iran and Hezbollah have reveled in the upsurge of opposition to Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak, a traditional U.S. ally and one of their main rivals for regional influence.

Moreover, the prospect of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood gaining more power if Egypt holds free elections has raised fears in the U.S. that the pro-democracy movement could be hijacked by Islamists.
During Friday's prayer sermon, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said the oppressed people of Egypt and Tunisia were aspiring for an Islamic state modeled after Iran and that the street demonstrations were "liberating Islamic movements."
Meanwhile, the Muslim Brotherhood acted quickly to distance itself from Iran and Hezbollah, saying it "regards the revolution as the Egyptian people's revolution, not an Islamic revolution."
"The first thing we want is not to have any political addresses to the people from outsiders," said Mohammed Morsey, a spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood.
Regional Upheaval
A succession of rallies and demonstrations, in Egypt, Jordan, Yemen and Algeria have been inspired directly by the popular outpouring of anger that toppled Tunisian President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali. See how these uprisings have progressed.
"The revolution in Egypt has nothing to do with any outsiders. You must not underestimate the youth and say they are following foreign agendas," he added.
Even Cairo's Al Azhar University, Sunni's Islam's most important religious institution, issued an unprecedented condemnation of Iran's attempt to characterize the popular uprising as Islamic.
The Muslim Brotherhood's quick rejection of Iran's advances could cause embarrassment in Iran.
If Egypt becomes a multiparty democracy and its Islamist movement develops along moderate lines, like the AK Party in Turkey, Iran's influence could be eroded both in Iran and regionally.
"As people begin to see the geopolitical shifts this will bring, it will have a tremendous effect and will be an example everyone would want to emulate," said Joshua Landis, director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma.
Egypt's state television has followed the line of the government saying protests were instigated by foreign agents, and took calls from viewers on Friday who said they had seen Iranian faces in the crowds in Tahrir Square. No mention was made that it is extremely difficult for Iranian passport holders to enter Egypt due to lack of diplomatic ties.
And among the demonstrators on the streets of Cairo, there was little enthusiasm for Mr. Nasrallah's endorsement. "We have one concept that we live by: not Hassan Nasrallah, not Khomenei, not America. The Egyptian people are in the streets for themselves," said Hussein Suliman Hussein, 34 years old.
This rejection could play into the hands of Iran's opposition. Over the past few days, Iran's bloggers and opposition websites have been talking about how Iran was humiliated by the rejection by the Muslim Brotherhood.
Iran's opposition has said the protest movements in Tunisia and Egypt were inspired by their own postelection protests in 2009, rather than by the Islamic revolution of 1979.

- 0Jun 5, '11 by JSlovex2Quote from Samantha79this!Is it small enough that your watch can cover it? At the facilities I have been to they stress no sleeves around the wrist, for infection control purposes. If you do wear long sleeves they have to be pushed up. I'm just thinking how nasty a wrap around your wrist could get by the end of the day. If a watch can cover it, then that would be the way to go. If not, it wouldn't hurt to try the makeup. I would stay away from the wraps and long sleeves. Let us know how the makeup goes if you try it. I'm thinking about a small wrist tat myself.
wearing a watch or a bracelet (wide band) and especially elastic/beads works perfectly. most facilities allow a watch.

Of late, the world's most successful investor, Warren Buffett, has made no secret of the fact that Berkshire (NYSE:BRK.B) is looking to make a large acquisition.
Buffett Buys What He Knows
One trademark of Warren Buffett's investing style is that he only buys businesses that are simple and that he truly understands. In terms of private companies, Berkshire's holdings are focused in a few areas: insurance, retail operations, railroads, construction, and chemicals. Some notable companies owned by Berkshire include GEICO, General Re, Dairy Queen, See's Candies, Acme Brick, and Benjamin Moore. Berkshire's two most recent massive acquisitions were railroad operator Burlington Northern Santa Fe and specialty chemical producer Lubrizol. Waste Management (NYSE:WM) meets this criteria as the waste removal business is simple and easy to understand.
Brands and Moats
Buffett often says that he likes to buy high quality brands and companies with wide competitive moats. Evidence of what Buffett likes to buy can be seen by looking at his five largest stock holdings: Coca Cola (NYSE:KO), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), IBM (NYSE:IBM), American Express (NYSE:AXP), and Proctor & Gamble (NYSE:PG). All of these companies, with the exception of AXP are industry leaders. Visa (NYSE:V), is the a bigger player in the credit card business than AXP and Berkshire does own a small stake in V. Waste Management is the clear market leader in the trash industry. Additionally, Waste Management has a solid moat around its business as it is very difficult for new companies to enter the industry for a variety of reasons. Notably, high fixed costs for machinery and the fact that without scale, it is nearly impossible to compete in the trash removal business. Waste Management's leading competitor, Republic Services Inc (NYSE:RSG) would also make sense as a Berkshire takeover candidate but Waste Management's position as market leader makes it a more likely candidate for Berkshire.
Price & Valuation
Currently, Waste Management trades at 18 times trailing earnings and 14 times forward earnings. Based on these numbers, it is difficult to argue that Waste Management is "cheap", but Buffett does not necessarily seek out "cheap" investments. Buffett has famously said:
It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.
In terms of the value of the deal, currently Waste Management's equity value is $15.8 billion and the company has debt of $10 billion. So, given a reasonable premium, the total cost of the deal for Berkshire would be close to $30 billion. Buffett has said that he is looking for a deal between $20 billion & $30 billion so Waste Management is a perfect sized target.
Given its simple and easy to understand business, competitive advantage, market leading position, and price Waste Management is a good fit for Berkshire and a possible target for Buffett. However, my speculation that Waste Management could be takeover target for Berkshire is not the only reason I am long the stock. I initially turned bullish on Waste Management in a piece entitled 3 Reasons To Consider Going Long Waste Management.

Break away school district moves forward
BATON ROUGE, La (FOX44) — The battle to break away from the East Baton Rouge Parish School System continues. Parents were back at the capitol Wednesday to fight for their children.
Senator Bodi White proposed a bill that would create the Southeast Baton Rouge Community School District. In the proposed bill, ten schools in the southeast part of the parish would branch out and become their own district. The goal is to get the schools performing better than they are right now.
The bill did move forward, but not without a fight. The education committee heard from both sides for hours. Both sides of the issue are passionate, saying they want what's best for their kids.
"What if we don't do anything?" BESE Board Member Chas Roemer asked. "What if we just sit on our hands and act like there's not a problem."
Some parents living in East Baton Rouge parish say that's not an option. "I'm at the end of my rope," one father said. "What do I have to do to get my kid in a wholesome environment in school?"
Those parents say if something doesn't change they're going to lose their best and brightest. "Zachary will continue to grow. Central will continue to grow. Ascension Parish will continue to grow. Livingston Parish will continue to grow," Roemer threatens. "All families with the ability to leave the current system will leave if they have not already left!"
Not everyone agrees with him. "If there's something that we need to be doing to make things better, then we need to be doing it now and we need to be doing it for everyone," says mother Christina Dorsa.
Critics of the plan say it's not fair. "We need to focus on all of the students and not just the fifteen percent that are in that area" adds another parent.
They say 90% of students pushed out of the proposed school district live below the poverty level. "You are going to expel 2,200 poor African American children from that community," says Demoine Rutledge. "They take those schools and leave a 60 million dollar deficit in our tax plan! We will not be able to complete the tax plan."
However, people fought back in favor of the bill. "If they can't manage their money and they can't do it, then they just can't do it," Senator Bodi White says.
About 6,800 students would be impacted if the bill were to pass. That's about 15% of East Baton Rouge Parish Schools.
Still, several things need to happen before the schools are allowed to branch out. They need to go before the House Floor for debate and a vote. If it passes there, it goes to the voters. More than half of all voters across the state and in East Baton Rouge parish need to approve the move.

Here's another way to take advantage of that supermarket wonder, puff pastry. This looks so beautiful when it comes out of the oven, it's almost a crime to cut it up. But it would be a greater crime not to eat it.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Put the tomatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle them generously with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly, then place them cut-side up. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle the chopped garlic evenly over each tomato.
Lay about 12 to 15 thyme sprigs over the tomatoes. Roast the tomatoes in the oven until soft but still holding their shape, about 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Then pinch off the skins, being careful not to damage the shape of the tomatoes.
Unfold the puff pastry onto another baking sheet. Brush the surface of the pastry well with olive oil.
Lay the tomatoes, cut-side up, evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.
Fold the pastry edges up, creating a ½-inch border. Press the edges to seal and brush with olive oil. Season the tomatoes with a little more salt and pepper and bake until the crust begins to puff and brown, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove the tart from the oven and crumble the goat cheese evenly over it.
Return the tart to the oven and bake until the cheese begins to brown and the crust is golden, about 10 minutes longer.
Allow the tart to cool slightly before cutting and serving.
Nutrients per serving (% daily value)
Nutritional information includes 1 tablespoon of olive oi drizzled on top of the tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon of added salt.

First selectman defeats challenger in GOP primary
WOODBURY — First Selectman Gerald D. Stomski defeated Republican challenger William J. Butterly Jr. in a primary Tuesday to become the party's nominee in the general election.
In the absence of another party-endorsed candidate running for first selectman, the pair will face each other again Nov. 5 because Butterly has successfully petitioned to appear on the ballot.

Today the weather didn't fool me. The afternoon is perfectly still. The air scorches, as if it were a waft of fire and not just the air we breathe, as if the afternoon refused to die and the hottest hour had begun. There are no clouds, just wispy white streaks unraveled from clouds. And the sky, from down here, looks cool, like the clear water of a dammed stream. I think: perhaps the sky is a huge sea of fresh water and we, instead of walking under it, walk on top of it; perhaps we see everything upside down and the earth is a kind of sky, so that when we die, when we die, we fall and sink into the sky. This sky that's a bottomless stream without fish. The clouds just hazy threads. And the air an inwardly burning fire. Hot, invisible flames that make our skin swelter. Air that, like a tired man, doesn't even stir.
A time will come when not a sparrow can be seen, when nothing can be heard but the silence of everything watching us. The time will come. I'll see it on the horizon. As surely as I realize this now, I realized it yesterday when I entered Judas's general store and ordered my first and my second and my third glass. I realized that all across the plain the cicadas and crickets will fall silent. The slenderest twigs of the olive and cork trees will stop climbing into the sky; from one moment to the next they'll turn to stone.
It was night when Jose entered Judas's general store. He still wore sun-bleached clothes on his body, the earth's ochre light on his skin, and a reverent smile on his face. He was preceded by the blunt, dirty tip of his shepherd's staff. His tired sheepdog, a new mother whose swollen teats and bloated belly almost touched the ground, followed him. He set down the sack that was slung over his shoulder by a rope and leaned against the counter. A glass of red wine. The few men who greeted him muttered languishing, indecipherable syllables. The others, without interrupting their talking and drinking and card playing, merely turned their heads to look at him. The dog rested her ribs on the ground, curved her spine in an arch of vertebrae showing through her fur, and lowered her eyelids over her passive brown eyes.
In the moment that Jose raised his glass and downed the wine in one fell swoop, the men in Judas's general store as seen from the other side of the square, as seen from the night and from silence, were the open space of a doorway; they were a tenuous path of light trying to advance across the vacant square and the black, black night; they were a place of indistinct words trying to enter the vacant square and the black, black silence. Jose set his empty glass on the counter, and next to him, under the dim light and the racket of words, the devil's idle smile instantly took shape. The devil smiling. He was the only one who didn't have sun-darkened skin, whose shirt was ironed, trousers creased, hair combed between his cap and his slightly protruding horns. He was the only one who smiled. Two glasses of red wine, he ordered with a smile. Jose didn't need to look at him. In silence he waited for the two glasses that were filled to the absolute brim. While they drank, the devil didn't take his eyes off Jose, and he seemed, even while drinking, to smile a faint smile that divided and multiplied into a thousand smiles, a thousand faint smiles. The men continued, or seemed to continue, their unending conversations and unending card games, stopping only to glance at the changes in Jose's face and at the tempter's taunting grin, or to spit out the damp remains of their hand-rolled cigarettes. And Jose's face changed. Successive glasses gradually filled him with an irrational happiness, the happiness of carnival and masqueraders. The devil smiling. With a smile he asked how are you, I haven't seen your wife around, where is she? Jose's eyes flared, and he stopped tittering to answer she's where she should be, where she always is. The men's crisscrossing voices were now an ocean of words rolling in waves over their heads, waves that began with a drone and swelled in a far-reaching din before retreating, leaving behind vestiges of words in the air, worthless and jumbled-up syllables like old things in a compost pile. Always? asked the devil, smiling and laughing. Jose fell silent, and the men fell silent to hear the answer he didn't utter. Two more glasses of red wine, the devil insisted. You know, he went on, still smiling, the giant told me that he knows her better than you do, that he knows better than you where she is, where she spends her time. From the white distance of his alcoholic aura Jose stopped to grasp the words. Under the hovering dust the men opened their tiny eyes like moles and tried to laugh but didn't know how, they just grunted. I'm sick of that giant's lies, Jose answered; my wife is where I know she is, where she always is; the next time you see him, tell the giant to show his face, tell him to show me his face. And he raised his fist high, striking it long and loudly on the counter. The dog got up and slowly walked out. Tell him to show me his face, Jose repeated, and I'll smash it in. The men's expressions froze for a moment, and then, as if on cue, they all started to dance in unison, whirling in a circle around Jose. And Jose, who could barely make out their blurred outlines and colors, once more radiated happiness in his face, and he whirled and danced, fell and fell, and stood up to dance again. In a corner the devil smiled, finally satisfied in his smiling.
This silent waiting unnerves me. The last sheep has lain down next to the curled-up bodies of other sheep, beneath the big old cork tree. I think: men are sheep that don't sleep, sheep that on the inside are wolves. The sun is still sun, its fire persists, in the air's and the earth's slow combustion. In the same shade as me, leaning against the same trunk, my staff resembles a person eyeing me with pity. My dog, in front of me, occasionally lifts her heavy gaze, likewise aware of what's going to happen.
The dog solemnly walked ahead of Jose's uncertain steps, stopping now and then to wait for him. The sky overhead became darker, blacker, once they were outside the town and on the sand-covered road leading to the farmstead, the Mount of Olives. The din of the men's shouting in Judas's general store continued to sound in Jose's dazed head. In the night's scant clarity his silhouette was that of a strange animal with three or four legs, depending on whether he was propped up by his staff or crawling on all fours. Plodding forward in this way, he began to be suspicious of the scrub and underbrush in the ditches. One moment he would attack the brush and its invisible phantoms with his staff, slugging away at himself on the ground; the next moment he would start running and feel his suddenly enormous feet trip over each other.
From the fence that bounded the farmstead he saw the sun rising over the roof of the rich people's house. Like the darkness, the alcohol in Jose had slowly dissipated and given way to light. He regained his clarity of mind and once more felt the weight of sobriety. Looking into the sun, Jose paused to collect his certainties of what lay ahead. He stood there awhile. Then climbed the slope. Once they'd passed through the gate, the dog relaxed, making her way to the washtub and plopping down underneath it. Jose's house, whitewashed and with yellow trim, lay a few yards beyond the rich people's house, at the back of the courtyard, behind the waterwheel and a small garden that the rich woman liked to see kept up. With his eyes fixed on the front door of his house, Jose walked through the yellowed garden, pushed aside the beads, and crossed over the threshold. In the night that still lingered in the bedroom, without breaking the silence generated by the presence of things, Jose made out his wife on the bed and remembered the devil's smile and the devil's words. His wife's head against the pillow, her hair against the pillow, were what he had conquered and were also what eluded him. He turned to the crib, and his gentle movements became even gentler. His son's innocent face glowed in Jose's breast and in his tender gaze. Looking at his own hands, he suddenly felt that they were too rough to touch the baby's soft, smooth skin. Obsessed by the certainty that gnawed at him and gnawed at him, he went back outside.
He whistled and his dog stood up, rejuvenated. He untied the knot of wires that secured the gate and felt the dog pass between his legs. As the sun at the foot of the sky became stronger, the dog made the sheep leave the pen in a steady stream, and the ones in front, who knew the way, dragged an ever-larger cape of slender bodies behind them, an ocean tide of shorn sheep flouncing in the new morning.
The world has come to a standstill, in a picture where I can only keep going, where my staff can only continue, where I can only keep whittling this broken branch with my jackknife, where my staff can only continue to stand watch over the plain like a venerable old man.
The birds have all flown away. The animals of the ground make no sound. The clouds have all halted. The moment is near at hand. I look into the sun and think: if the punishment that's my lot can be contained in me, if I can accept it and somehow hold it inside me, perhaps I'll be spared further judgments, perhaps I can rest. The loud roar of silence surges behind the earth. The fire of the horizon is approaching. And I see him. He walks straight toward me with mechanical steps. His body, larger than a man's, is like that of a walking tree, like that of a man the size of three men. And each of his steps is equal to three human steps. Beneath the cork trees, the sheep have become lifeless, curled-up balls of wool. Closer now, he looks at me without veering his gaze. Still closer, the rage in his eyes grabs me and slowly pulls me toward him. Right in front of me, he stands perfectly still. We look at each other.
They looked at each other. Sitting beneath a tall cork tree, Jose held his open knife and a whittled piece of branch. Leaning against the same tree, to his right, was the staff. The giant's unwavering frame blocked the sun and cast a shadow that ended in the round shadow of the tree. Within the silence, as within a dream, the giant began to walk. Jose looked at him as if waiting, as if a great amount of time had passed during those two long strides, and he felt three successive kicks in the gut, and he didn't defend himself. He didn't reach for his staff, he didn't tighten his grip on the jackknife. The giant opened wide his huge hands and flung him to the ground. Jose looked at him and didn't shrink when the giant's toe-plated boots began to maul his flesh and crack against his bones, kicking him in the back, in the hips, in the shins. The moments that passed in silence and that seemed like an entire night to Jose were not a night, they were just a few moments within the silence. The sweating giant turned over Jose's inert body, and despite the blood and dirt that smeared his skin, Jose's gaze was the same. The giant felt like thrashing him some more, thrashing him until that gaze disappeared, but instead he turned around and walked away, without once looking back. Jose's abandoned body was like a bush or stone or some other object that the wind slowly sweeps from the landscape. The singing of the sparrows and crickets and cicadas increased. Jose looked straight at the sun. His hand still held the open jackknife.
Perhaps a slight breeze has kicked up and the leaves of the cork trees are trembling, like the hands of old people. My body feels crumpled, indented by the bumps in the ground where it lies, submerged in the earth's frozen waves. Perhaps the birds and animals have come back, to look at me. I see the sun before me, high above me, like a god embracing me with rays of light or of death. I think.
The three men were leaning against one of the large tanks of olive oil. There were four such tanks, square and very tall, with spigots at the bottom. Under the four spigots were four pails that received, at precise intervals, the tiny shout of dripping oil pierced by a clean, clear light. It was summer in the hot hour of that summer's day, but there, in that dusky room of the oil press, the summer was hot only in the placid imagination of the three old men; beneath the roof tiles and within the cold walls of old bricks thickly coated with lime, their forgetful bodies remembered cool weather. It was summer and little oil remained in the iron tanks, but the smell that had accumulated over the years wafted in the air, wrapping and penetrating and blending with the old men's heavy words. Old Gabriel, seated to the far left, looked down as he spoke, lifting his eyes only during the brief silences. Under the black shirt of a very black mourning, his tanned skin was covered by the thick white of an undershirt. Above the cobwebs of his thick beard's whiskers, his face was marked by a prophetic profusion of wrinkles and by a gaze as large as a pond. He rolled his cap over in his hands.
He looked dead when I found him. Day was breaking in the window when I heard his wife knock on the door. I had a clay mug of milk on the fire and didn't drink it. She said he took the sheep out yesterday and didn't come back, I spent all night worrying, unable to sleep. She doesn't talk much. She chooses her words as if choosing oranges from the lower branches, or the healthiest pups from a litter. She said where could he be? Help me. That morning she talked more than usual. Which is perhaps what made me think she was right to be worried. If Jose hadn't taken out the sheep, I'd suspect that he'd drunk too much and lost his way returning from Judas's general store to the Mount of Olives, but he did take them out, and knowing Jose as I do, from the time he was a boy trailing behind his father, catching crickets and setting traps for the sparrows, I can say, I can guarantee, that only a serious problem would keep him from meeting his obligations. My boots made a dragging sound in the sand. As I walked, I listened and knew that something had happened. He looked dead when I found him. His neck was twisted into a sullen grimace, and his body, stretched out on the ground, was like an inert stone, born there and molded by a strange fortuity into the exact shape of a man. His dog, relieved of the work of keeping all the sheep together throughout the night, ran to me like a child telling me everything. She licked my hands while I petted her on the head. Jose, like a dead man, kept staring at the sun with his glassy, wide-open eyes. I leaned him against the tree with the help of the dog. Unable to carry him, I went to the farmstead to fetch a wheelbarrow. As I walked up the slope, I couldn't avoid his wife, who looked at me hard and read my face. She was no longer interested in him but asked how he was, waited for my answer, and returned to her silence, alone. With his legs and arms hanging out of the wheelbarrow and almost touching the ground, Jose kept his eyes open the whole way. Ahead of us the dog drove the flock. Jose stared at the sun like a dead man, each beat of his heart raising just slightly his shirt.

Europe's Mars Lander separated from its mothership Friday,
heading for touchdown on the Red Plane Christmas day (first Mars
photo from Mars Express, below).
Michael McKay, mission manager for the Mars Express, confirmed
the separation just after 6:00 am EST. Beagle-2 is on its way to
search for signs of life on the fourth rock from the sun.
"The mother and baby are both doing well," David Southwood,
director of science at the European Space Agency (ESA), said after
the lander's separation was confirmed. "It's been a few tense
The Mars Express mothership is now executing a complicated set
of maneuvers that, if successful, will put it in orbit around the
planet, where it will conduct radar surveys while Beagle-2 explores
the surface. Beagle-2, meanwhile, will hopefully make a bouncy
landing on the surface, its impact cushioned by airbags that will
inflate around the vehicle. If its batteries charge enough to
survive the frigid Martian night, Beagle will signal its mothership
to say it's alive and ready to begin its search for life signs.

Dennis Pearson doesn't usually have visitors, but this week he welcomed members of the Mesa Fire Department who made a house call to give him a flu shot.
Pearson, 67, who's partially paralyzed and lives alone in an east Mesa trailer park, said he battled influenza last year and doesn't want to live through that again.
So he signed up through the city's home-delivered meals program and that brought a firefighter, a nurse and a safety specialist to his home Wednesday to give him a dose of flu vaccine and a little conversation.
Public health officials are trying various ways to get more people vaccinated against the flu this season. For the first time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending shots for all children over 6 months old.
And Arizona officials are reminding people that it's not too late, even after the holidays, to get a flu shot. Arizona's season typically peaks in February.
Last season was brutal. Flu was widespread in Arizona, the highest CDC designation, for eight consecutive weeks through February and into March.
The county health department plans to run a flu shot clinic in January at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, as it did last year, using leftover vaccine donated to the immunization program from area doctors.
In Mesa, the fire crew also checked Pearson's home for fire and fall hazards and gathered information about him for the city's emergency database.
Blanca Barrera replaced the smoke detector in his bedroom - he'd taken the battery out months ago because it wouldn't stop beeping - and suggested that he put a nonskid surface under the bathroom rug.
Firefighter Donnie Colvin counseled the Army veteran about what to do in case of a medical emergency, power outage or natural disaster, and what types of information he should keep handy for paramedics if they were called to help him.
Pearson is among about 50 Mesa seniors getting house calls this month to receive flu shots and home safety checks.
It's a novel approach to get homebound seniors immunized, thanks to vaccine from the Maricopa County Health Department, as well as prevent falls and protect people from fire in their homes. Mesa fire personnel also vaccinate the seniors' families, caregivers and those most likely to spread the flu.
The program combines two successful public health tools - home-visiting programs and "ring" vaccination, inoculating those around the person most at risk of complications.
The flu vaccine offers less protection for seniors, who account for most of the 36,000 flu deaths each year. So their best defense is to not get the illness.
"This has been a concern for the county and for us. How do we reach some of these harder to reach people?" said nurse Pamela Bischoff, the city's emergency medical services coordinator.
Colvin said Pearson's situation was typical of the homes they're visiting: no family or friends to speak of, no cash on hand in case of emergency, no Internet access and little or no written information about their medical conditions, medications or health care providers.
Bischoff said starting with seniors on the home-delivered meals program kept the department from being inundated and enabled them to improve the health and safety for residents who often live alone, on fixed incomes and without computer access.
"A ground-level fall can be very serious for this population," she said. "If they fall and break a hip, that could be a death sentence for some of them."
Before the Mesa fire crew left Pearson's house Wednesday, they made sure he was OK.
"Do you have anybody who helps you in any way around here?" asked Barrera. "Would you like somebody?"
Pearson answered no to both questions. But he did seem to have enjoyed the company.
