Justice Web Collaboratory: Fall 2001 IPRO
Civil justice reform in the United States has failed to address the problems faced by self-represented litigants, a problem that has been the ongoing focus of the Access to Justice initiative. This IPRO continues this investigation by focusing on the solutions suggested in the "Meeting the Needs of Self-Represented Litigants" report (To be released May 2001 at http://www.judgelink.org). The students in this IPRO will develop of an online Landlord-Tennant self-help center for use in Cook County, Illinois. Using existing and proposed self-help center models, students will determine how the self-help center model can best be adapted to the Cook County environment. In doing so, students will leverage the experience and expertise gained by the Chicago-Kent Advice desk staff in dealing with the problems that self-represented litigants face. Students from the disciplines of computer science, law and design, will learn how to work together to tackle the complex, practical, legal and technological challenges self-represented litigants face within the justice system.

E-Filing Chat Sessions for Judges
The Justice Web Collaboratory will host a two-part series, discussing public access to electronic court records.
The fist session will be held on Wednesday, May 9, 2001, 3 PM EDT via the Justice Web Collaboratory Conference Center. For the first session panelist will focus the topic on "Electronic Court Records & the Internet: Should Courts Consider New Public Access Policy?" They will attempt to address the questions of whether the courts should put all public records on the Internet? Should court databases to be downloaded by anyone? Are traditional public access rules sufficient to cover non-traditional access?
In Part II, on Wednesday, May 23, 2001, 3 PM EDT, the panelists will focus discussion on "Alternative Policies for Public Access to Electronic Court Records". Specifically, should courts consider new public access policies? What policy alternatives should courts consider? What factors influence court public access policy in your state? Should all states follow the same approach?
For additional information please contact Todd Pedwell or go to http://www.judgelink.org/Presentations/E-FilingChat/.

The National, 29 October 2012
LONDON // When He Ying Li arrived in the United Kingdom to study at one of the world's most illustrious universities, she could barely contain her excitement.
But that enthusiasm dissipated as she waited in the pouring rain outside a south London police station. As a Chinese immigrant, she had been given a week to register with the authorities.
"I got up at 4am to try to beat the queue, but I still had to wait for seven hours, standing in the rain," said the 23-year-old, who arrived in the UK last month to study media and communications at the London School of Economics (LSE).
Following chaotic scenes at police stations across the country, the government relaxed the registration rules earlier this month. In future, students will have until the end of December to register with police and can do it through their university.
But bigger challenges are in store for Ms Li and other talented young students who dreamed of finding work in the UK after their studies.

Blue-tongued skink
Blue-tongued skinks comprise the Australasian genus Tiliqua, which contains some of the largest members of the skink family (Scincidae). They are commonly called blue-tongued lizards or simply blue-tongues in Australia. As suggested by these common names, a prominent characteristic of the genus is a large blue tongue that can be bared as a bluff-warning to potential enemies. Blue-tongued skinks are bred in captivity and sold as house pets.
Systematics and distribution[edit]
Blue-tongued skinks are closely related to the genus Cyclodomorphus and Hemisphaeriodon. All species are found on mainland Australia with the exception of Tiliqua gigas, which occurs in New Guinea and various islands of Indonesia. One subspecies of Tiliqua scincoides is also found on several small Indonesian islands between Australia and New Guinea. Tiliqua nigrolutea is the only species present in Tasmania. With the exception of the pygmy blue-tongue, they are relatively large lizards (up to 45 cm total length), light-bodied, short-limbed, broad with distinct heads and dull teeth.
Most species are diurnal, ground-foraging omnivores, feeding on a wide variety of insects, gastropods, flowers, fruits and berries.[1] The pygmy blue-tongue is again the exception, being primarily an ambush predator of terrestrial arthropods.[2] All are viviparous, with litter sizes ranging from one to four in the pygmy blue-tongue and shingleback from five to twenty four in the eastern and northern blue-tongues.[3]
Species and subspecies[edit]
- Tiliqua adelaidensis, Adelaide pigmy blue-tongue skink
- Tiliqua gigas, Indonesian blue-tongued skink
- T. g. evanescens, Merauke blue-tongued skink
- T. g. keyensis, Key Island blue-tongued skink
- Tiliqua sp., Irian Jaya blue-tongued skink
- Tiliqua multifasciata, Centralian blue-tongued skink
- Tiliqua nigrolutea, blotched blue-tongued skink
- Tiliqua occipitalis, western blue-tongued skink
- Tiliqua rugosa, shingleback, (also known as the bobtail, stump-tailed skink, stumpy-tail, sleepy lizard, pinecone lizard, or boggi)
- T. r. aspera, eastern shingleback
- T. r. konowi, Rottnest Island shingleback
- T. r. palarra, Shark Bay shingleback
- T. r. rugosa, common shingleback
- Tiliqua scincoides, Australian blue-tongued skink

Rocco Palmo has early excerpts of some spontaneous remarks made by Pope Benedict XVI at mass, today:
We must rather have the courage, the joy, the great hope that there is eternal life, that eternal life is real life and that from this real life comes the light that illuminates this world as well.
The Pope noted that, when we look at things this way, penitence is a grace"even though of late we have sought to avoid this word, too.
Now, under the attacks of the world, which speak to us of our sins, we see that to be able to do penance is a grace"and we see how necessary it is to do penance, that is, to recognize what is wrong in our lives: to recognize ones sin, to open oneself to forgiveness, to prepare for pardon, to allow oneself to be transformed.
The pain of penance, the pain of purification and transformation"this pain is grace, because it is renewal"it is the work of the Divine Mercy.
Pope Benedict concluded his homily with a prayer that our lives might become true life, eternal life, love and truth.
The story is only just breaking and it will be interesting to see how the press excerpts and interprets his remarks, the full text of which is not yet transcribed and released.
I suggest we wait for a chance to read the complete text, before jumping anywhere, pro or con.
Reading further into the excerpts at Roccos (as we await the whole transcript) I am struck by something that is rather exciting: Benedict is daring"and many will say how dare he"to teach at this moment. He is daring to dive into the deep waters, here, and talk about the salvific effect of doing penance, and the graces found therein.
Its staggering, when you think of it. Its up there with Paul saying, I rejoice in this suffering except that Benedict talks about rejoicing in penance , which"by its very definition"takes upon it shame, humiliation, guilt and works to transform all of that, by the grace of God, into something finer; a penitential mindset is the most optimistic and trusting mindset in the world, because it says I know this stinking compost heap is going to bring sustenance and beauty into the strained garden of world.
Beneath the sorrow and the pain, there lies the stuff that builds us up; the stuff of joy.
Even out of all of this misery, all of this slow-learning, all of this bald stupidity, penance is and will be transformative: See, I make all things new.

The lovely port town of Haugesund is known as the birthplace of Norway, crowned as such by Viking King Harald Fairhair in the 9th century. Today it's one of Norway's principal culture centers, hosting the Norwegian International Film Festival as well as a jazz festival every summer.
The fascinating Viking past of Haugesund comes alive at the Norwegian History Center where re-creations take place on a 7th century Viking farm. And the descendants of renowned Viking ship builders recently completed an exact sailing replica of a dragon ship. If it's in town, go aboard. Life on the farm was hard; on the sea, unimaginable - no wonder Vikings were so fierce.
Ferries travel to the stunning island of Røvær, where you can walk around the beautiful coves where Vikings once lived. And to Utsira, where there's a wilder coastal walk with over 300 birds for birders to spot. One last must-see is the Langfoss Waterfall, which CNN rates as one of the most majestic in the world. From a distance it looks like a bridal veil. It is stunning.

Here is a transcript of part of my reading with Archangel Michael today (June 16, 2011), through Linda Dillon.
This is the portion that deals with the various considerations around Disclosure. AAM is very careful to distinguish Disclosure from Decloaking and from First Contact. He gives the considerations that the spiritual hierarchy and the galactics have before them over issues relating to Disclosure.
It isn't often that we have the opportunity to ask questions and get a matter thoroughly discussed. Usually we have to accept what is said and not said. So this opportunity to go over matters in detail is one I very much appreciated.
You'll note that it wasn't AAM that was reluctant to cite the date. I'm afraid it's me. But it is coming very soon.
Archangel Michael: Greetings. I am Michael.
Steve: Greetings, Lord. Thank you for coming.
AAM: It is my pleasure. It is my pleasure to be invited. And it is my pleasure, dear heart, to join with many [meaning my guides] this day and speak to your heart, to your mind, and to your very core and being.
Yes, it is a time of dissembling and there are those who are still choosing the chaos. [Probably referring to my conversation with Linda Dillon, prior to starting, about hockey fans rioting in Vancouver.] But there are many more, dear one, who are choosing the light, who are choosing the path of love and oneness and of opening.
Very often they do not know what this choice of opening entails. But they only know that they must do it, that they are tired of the old way of being, that they yearn for deeper love, and that they yearn for a deeper way of being in their lives than what they see on a day-to-day basis.
There are very few people within the collective and upon the planet who simply feel that they are here for no apparent reason, that they are here simply as an energetic accident.
Most of them yearn to know what that reason is and to be able to contribute in a way that is meaningful to them, to that collective energy, so that, at the end of their life, whether that is tomorrow or ten thousand years from now, they can reflect and know that they made a difference.
Now not everyone gets to feel that difference at the end of their life, but they come to know it once they are here [spirit plane or Fifth Dimension], once they are on a different plane and dimension.
Now you, dear friend, have been shaking your head and part of you is shaking your head saying, "Lord, what is going on?"
S: Yes indeed.
AAM: And part of you has been shaking your head as in up and down, as a "Yes, we are ready to go." We know your feelings, and when I say your feelings, I mean your intellect as well as what you emotionally perceive. It can go either way. And that is something that we have not truly been prepared to discuss in detail for it is not an issue that we want people to grab on to.
S: What do you mean, Lord, that it can go either way. What is "it"?
AAM: We don't mean that the shift or the Ascension or the arrival of your star brothers and sisters will not occur. That is tied down, if you will.
But the promise and the agreement with the star beings and the councils is that it will be done in a peaceful manner because otherwise it simply is adding to the old paradigm. So we are diligently working and attempting to keep everything on schedule – our schedule not yours – for the bringing forth of what is necessary for humanity to make this leap.
So what I mean is not if it will happen but the question of the timing – human timing.
S: So it's possible that [the date given] will not see a Disclosure. Is that the case?
AAM: It is possible. It is not our decision. We have already passed the go-point.
S: The divine deadline, Lord? Is that what you mean?
AAM: The divine deadline in terms of everything being in place for the star brothers and sisters to arrive.
S: Do you mean Disclosure, the Decloaking or First Contact, Lord?
AAM: We mean First Contact and Disclosure.
S: So we've already passed the divine deadline. Alright.
AAM: Disclosure is something that is coming. I know what you are meaning by this. But I also want you to think of Disclosure as coming in stages. Now there has been Disclosure for a long time.
S: Yes.
AAM: So what you are thinking of is public Disclosure, and that is to be hand in hand, very closely, because of the shrinking margins with Decloaking.
S: I don't understand what you just said, Lord.
AAM: For the powers that be to simply come forward and say, "We have contact and communication and in fact relationship with your star brothers and sisters" – that is Disclosure.
S: Thank you.
AAM: It is the beginning of what we feel is an ongoing human conversation with your star brothers and sisters but certainly among yourselves about what that means.
The plan has always been, or had been, to have a Disclosure time and then a period of adjustment and then what we call "Decloaking" which would be visible sightings and presence of ships and beings. The reason that we had planned this timing, has been, and has always been, that your brothers and sisters do not wish to come in a situation of panic, or upheaval, fear, and certainly not one that would be creating what would be attempts at prevention or retaliation. Now this you are aware of.
S: Yes.
AAM: So it has always been anticipated that there would be Disclosure and then a period for the populace to adjust to it.
S: Now there are messages from Sheldan Nidle, a message from Sananda on Lightworkers.org, [XX] in [YY] is saying that, Suzanne Spooner has given that date, do you know why everyone is talking about [date]?
AAM: Because that is the plan.
S: That is the plan. OK.
AAM: That is the plan.
S: And how likely is it that that plan will go ahead?
AAM: As we speak today, it is on target.
S: Alright.
AAM: Now what I had started to say to you was that normally we had thought there would be Disclosure and then give it a couple of months or even weeks and then there would be Decloaking.
S: Yes.
AAM: What we are suggesting to you today is that the time frame between Disclosure and Decloaking – in other words, the visibility of ships – is very likely to be much closer together because we have delayed some efforts for Disclosure. Not that there has not been a lot of conversation, because there has been, but there has not been the green light or the choice to allow the entire populace to know.
S: Alright.
AAM: Now there has been a, shall we say, an integration process of many of your star brothers and sisters – more than normal, let us put it that way – that has begun at the end of May. So there are many who are already on the ground and in position. And that will help. That will help an awful lot.
It is not a question of sabotage. It is not a question of spying, or anything that could possibly be interpreted that way. Think of them as the people who go in and calm people down after there has been a bank robbery. They're a therapeutic team whose purpose is to keep people calm, encouraged, excited and open.
S: So this is a team of galactics, is that correct?
AAM: That is correct.
S: Who is the green light coming from, Lord? I know that's a difficult question to answer because there are levels and levels of hierarchy. But is it Sanat Kumara who will give the green light or Sananda?
AAM: No, it is a combination but primarily it is the final decision of Sanat Kumara.
S: Alright. Thank you.
AAM: And he has waited an awfully long time.
S: Ha ha ha. I'm sure he has.
AAM: And so we are all very anxious this bringing of peace. That is the entire purpose. It is the expansion of the human realm, yes, and hand in hand with the shifting of dimensions and consciousness but it is truly a bringing of peace, a restoration of peace. And that is why we have been so reticent to do anything that could be interpreted in any other way.
S: I see.
AAM: But insofar as the [date] is concerned, yes, you are correct and so are many in feeling that this is the opening day.
S: And if things don't happen on [date], what kind of…. You remember when they didn't happen in Oct. 2008 or in Nov./Dec 2009, we then needed to wait a long time. Will that be the case here?
AAM: No.
S: Alright, so if it doesn't happen on [date], it will happen soon after that. Is that correct?
AAM: It is going to happen before the end of the year, regardless.
S: Well, I'm not sure that a lot of people will be comforted by the thought of waiting another six months. That will be a difficult….
AAM: It is highly unlikely that it will be six months.
S: Right.
AAM: Not because of what is happening as we observe and get ready, but because we see that the human populace, in their inner being, and even in their consciousness, are ready. They are very ready. And when they see…. You have mentioned to this channel this day that there are many who are disheartened [referring to my conversation with Linda about the reasons behind the riots in Vancouver June 15, after the Stanley Cup final game] and feel the yoke of being burdened, whether it is by finance or circumstance of what they are doing for work, work that does not feel meaningful in any way.
When they begin to understand the openings that are being created by this landing, by this opening and coalition, by the full participation of Earth in the galactic forum, then they will buy in with their hearts, their souls, and their bodies. So the level of information is going to be managed in a very positive way and that is what we have been truly working with humans so that the fear triggers are simply not present.
S: Alright.
AAM: That is why there are the intervention teams. That is why many who have been placed in their lifetimes on Earth, awaiting for this, such as your beloved self….
S: Yes.
AAM: So if it is not [date], which is our date, it will be very quickly thereafter, so do not worry about it.
S: Alright.
AAM: It is not a question of if but when.
S: Alright. Thank you, Lord.

LMP Finds Grace In The Storm
Singer/songwriter discusses using music as form of therapy and her new album, Storm & Grace
Though she is the daughter of one of rock and roll's most celebrated icons, Elvis Presley, life hasn't always been lovely and tender for singer/songwriter Lisa Marie Presley. Her father and mother, Priscilla Presley, divorced when she was only four years old. Then, just six months after her ninth birthday, Presley suffered the loss of her father. An artist in her own right, music has remained a solid foundation in her sometimes tumultuous life.
In an exclusive interview with GRAMMY.com, Presley discusses finding her own artistic voice, her debut performance at the Grand Ole Opry and working with GRAMMY-winning producer T Bone Burnett on her new album, Storm & Grace, among other topics.
"I was at a completely different place in my life [when I recorded Storm & Grace]," says Presley. "I was feeling a lot more vulnerable about life and a lot more raw emotionally, and I think that the record was written through that process. ... It's kind of representative of where I'm at in my life. It's a really comfortable place for me now."
Presley's music career took off when she met GRAMMY-winning producer Glen Ballard, who helped secure a deal for her with Capitol Records. Presley's debut album, To Whom It May Concern, was released in 2003 and peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. Now What followed in 2005 and peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 on the strength of Presley's sultry cover of Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry," which peaked in the Top 40 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart. Released in May, Storm & Grace was produced by Burnett and features 11 tracks that combine elements of folk, blues and country. The album peaked in the Top 50 on the Billboard 200.

meet the team
Yishun Dong
Columbus, OH
Upper Arlington High School
Grade: Senior
Hobbies Soccer, basketball, exercising, solving math, physics and computer programming problems
Soccer club, math club, physics club, optimist basketball
U.S. Physics Team member 2008-2009; USAMO 2008-2009; OSU Rasor-bareis math competition 1st place and some other state level math, science and engineering contests.
This is my second time being qualified for the U.S. physics team. Some of my biography information can be found from my previous one. But still, I think there were couple notable things that happened this year were worth of mention here.
My senior year had been occupied with several subjects, those include both academic and non-academic ones. Due to some reason, I just started computer science this year, which I regarded as being rather late compare to many programming-genius. I wasn't really good at knowing all the computer systems, but still I'm extremely interested in finding slick algorithm to solve difficult math problems with the idea of computer science behind it. By the influence of my Computer Science teacher, I started solving problems on a website called Project Euler. The problems started with rather easy ones, but after a certain number of problems, they get significantly harder. Because of that, I enjoyed it a lot, and after several weeks, I managed to solve more than half of all the problems there. Aside of my newly grown interest in Computer Science, I've kept studying math and physics as I've used to for many years. I was able to go to Ohio State University to take some math classes there this year. I took the elementary analysis series, which dealt with calculus and vector calculus in a more rigorous way. They're very interesting and challenging sometimes. I also studied some other college maths on my own from time to time, as well as those math competitions that I've been involved for years. Even though those college maths and olympiad maths are rather different somehow, I still think it's a joyful thing to play around in both areas. For physics, I'm not formally taking any physics class this year. But still, I worked on physics problems whenever I have time. Sometimes before I went to bed, I would read couple pages of Feynman's lectures on physics (which I got from the camp last year) and write out several equations, just so I can fall into dreams with all the wonderful physics equations. Other than those rather math-related subjects, I'm also taking some other social study courses, as well as AP biology at school, they helped me diversify myself little bit.
While non-academically, I participated in some activities at school, mainly in sports. I played at an OSU intramural soccer club with my friends. Due to my post-secondary student status at OSU, I can now participate in their intramural games "legitimately." We did manage to get into the playoffs for both autumn and winter quarters. But we didn't get any further than the first round of playoffs. However, in basketball, my team was little bit luckier. We managed to get into the second round of the playoffs, which I think is a pretty good ending for the season.
Time passes so fast that I didn't even realize it's already the time for recruiting the new team members until I receive this invitation today. This invitation again reminds me all those wonderful time I spent last year at the camp. I can still clearly remember how my every single day of the camp last year was spent. The problems we solved and the labs we did were just fascinating. They were hard, yet interesting. More importantly, many of those people I met during the camp had became my best friends now. This makes me even more excited this time. I'm really looking forward to meeting with both those old friends and new friends.

*** (out of four)
Many music fans and writers trip over themselves trying to predict the industry's next big trend. Genres are invented. Hype emerges and disappears. But rarely does something as chilling come along as narco corridos, Mexican songs glamorizing drug cartels' ruthless violence that the killers play after executions. Director Shaul Schwarz's shocking and upsetting documentary "Narco Cultura" addresses this increasingly popular subculture, and it won't be easy to forget the image of a venue packed with concertgoers singing in unison, "We're bloodthirsty, crazy and we like to kill."
The film alternates between time with Edgar Quintero, a successful Los Angeles-based corrido singer who wants to gain more first-hand knowledge of the his material, and Richi Soto, a crime scene investigator in Juarez, Mexico. There, the movie demonstrates, the murder rate has skyrocketed (despite the safe, peaceful community in El Paso, Texas, just across the river) as powerful cartels fight for control of the border town. Decapitations and dismemberments are common. Investigations and punishments are minimal. The city seems run by its criminals, with the law looking the other way for its own safety and kids looking up to the dangerous, wealthy people who kill to succeed in a jobless, opportunity-free place.
Onscreen text at the end of "Narco Cultura" indicates Movimiento Alterado music has been banned on Mexican radio and TV. Schwarz should have spent time addressing the artists' reception and critics, not just indicating that an initially hesitant Wal-Mart eventually ordered copies of an El Komander album in bulk. Can anyone with a decent voice become a star in this genre, since the lyrics appear to be written almost in minutes? How are parents addressing their kids' admiration of lawless murderers? This doc also misses a chance to unpack how slow changes in some American drug policy have affected the operations of Mexican suppliers, or how many people leave Juarez -- a place some have called the world's murder capital.
"My dream is that there would be no more murders here," says a child whose only crime is growing up in an unsafe place. It goes without saying that far too many Chicagoans know what that's like.

More than 100 NH doctors victims of identity theft, tax fraudBy MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 23. 2014 1:05AM
The U.S. Secret Service is investigating reports that more than 110 New Hampshire physicians and medical personnel have had their Social Security numbers stolen and used to file false federal tax returns.
"It's ballooned," Scott Colby, executive vice president of the New Hampshire Medical Society, said Tuesday. "We're close to 120 at this point."
Colby said the society received reports from about 110 physicians, a couple of nurse practitioners, a couple of physician assistants, one dentist and one pharmacist.
Similar problems have been reported in other states, including Maine, Vermont, Connecticut and Indiana, he said.
Colby said the society received its first report on April 9 and sent out emails to members and non-members alerting them.
The New Hampshire Hospital Association also sent emails to the chief executive officers and chief financial officers of the state's 26 acute care hospitals warning them of the fraud reports.
"As we started learning more, we realized this was fairly broad," Colby said.
He said the society received reports from four or five medical providers, New Hampshire physicians and physician assistants, about fraudulent attempts to set up accounts under their names at a Pennsylvania bank.
The alleged fraud victims received notices from the bank, Colby said.
The Secret Service is attempting to see if a data breach somewhere is responsible, he said.
IRS spokeswoman Peggy Riley said she couldn't comment on the situation.
"While we are prohibited by federal law from discussing any individual's private tax matters, identity theft remains a top priority for the IRS," she said in an email. "Since 2011, the IRS has stopped 15 million suspicious returns, and protected over $50 billion in fraudulent refunds. The IRS is focused on preventing, detecting and resolving identity theft cases as soon as possible, and we're firmly committed to working with taxpayers to take care of these problems as quickly as possible."
A call to the Secret Service wasn't returned Tuesday.
Colby said the victims found out one of two ways about the fraud: when they went to file their returns they were told they had already filed or they were notified that some information on the fraudulent return was missing or incorrect.
"The sentiment that I'm getting is it feels like a violation," Colby said. "I think recognizing it's a larger problem maybe gives them hope someone's working on this."
Colby said he doesn't know how much money was involved with the fraudulent returns.
Brian Krebs, a former Washington Post reporter who now blogs for the website, KrebsonSecurity.com, said he wasn't sure whether doctors were specific targets.
"There is just a ridiculous amount of fraud like this going on," he said in a phone interview.
While well-paid doctors might seem a likely target, those committing the fraud just make up financial figures to submit to the IRS, he said.
"Whatever they make, whatever they've decided to claim, it doesn't have to have been grounded in reality," Krebs said.

Police seek handgun stolen from scene of fatal Webster fire
By PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
WEBSTER - Police are asking for the public's help in locating a .380 handgun stolen from the scene of a fire that killed a 20-year-old Warner man in February.
Daniel Hewey, 20, died on Feb. 16 of fire and fume inhalation shortly after he poured gasoline on a brush fire in a home-made fire pit at 127 Deer Meadow Road in Webster.
Seventeen-year-old Haley MacPhail was also seriously burned in the incident.
The couple and two friends were burning brush outdoors in a home-made fire pit, made from a cut open oil tank, when the fire died out. Hewey tried to restart the fire by pouring gasoline into the pit and it exploded, burning him and MacPhail.
Police released few details about the theft other than what was stated in a news release issued by Concord Regional Crimeline, identifying the gun as a Baikal .380 handgun and stating it was believed to be taken from the scene of an "untimely death in Webster" on Feb. 16.
Anyone who has information about the theft is asked to call Concord Regional Crimeline at (603) 226-3100, submit information online at www.concordregionalcrimeline.com or text TIP234 and the message to CRIMES (274637).

These days, Al Franken is one of the more reliable sources of good news, if you're a Republican. On the brink of endorsement by the DFL party, Franken has suffered one blow to his image after another, due to his own business incompetence and checkered past. The latest is a pornographic article he wrote for Playboy magazine eight years ago. Somewhat to my surprise, Franken's fellow DFLers seem genuinely concerned about nominating a pornographer to the U.S. Senate:
Rep. Betty McCollum, who supported the comedian's rival Mike Ciresi until he dropped out of the race for the party's nomination for the Senate, complained Thursday that she and other Minnesota Democrats will be on the same November ballot as a candidate "who has pornographic writings that are indefensible."
"Do they spend all of their time defending him, or do they spend their time talking about issues that are important to this election?" McCollum told The Associated Press in an interview. "The whole story was a shocking surprise."
This explains the Democrats' concerns, I think:
"I told him this is a serious problem," [McCollum] said. "I told him my cell phone's ringing off the hook. Union leaders call me, state House members are calling, I've had people in the coffee shop approach me, very concerned about this. They really feel this article is politically radioactive."
Franken's response is telling, no doubt inadvertently so:
"Al understands, and the people of Minnesota understand, the difference between what a satirist does and what a senator does," Franken campaign spokesman Andy Barr said.
That's right; and the more Minnesota voters focus on the difference between a Senator and a satirist, the more secure Norm Coleman's re-election bid will be.

Gibson shaky, bats quiet in loss to Rays
MINNEAPOLIS -- It's too early to tell if the Twins' offensive explosion entering the All-Star break was a mirage, but the initial outlook is not promising.
After tagging Colorado for a combined 22 runs in the final two games of the first half, Minnesota faltered in a 6-2 loss against Tampa Bay at Target Field on Friday night.View Full Game Coverage
MINNEAPOLIS -- It's too early to tell if the Twins' offensive explosion entering the All-Star break was a mirage, but the initial outlook is not promising.
After tagging Colorado for a combined 22 runs in the final two games of the first half, Minnesota faltered in a 6-2 loss against Tampa Bay at Target Field on Friday night.View Full Game Coverage
The offense was in an early hole after Kyle Gibson, who allowed one hit in the first two frames, struggled badly in the third. He gave up a single to rookie Curt Casali to lead off the inning, and then suffered a bit of bad luck.
Desmond Jennings hit a grounder right back at Gibson, who couldn't handle the shot cleanly. Unfortunately, the ball was headed right for second baseman Brian Dozier -- playing a middle shift -- and would have been a near-certain double play before Gibson accidentally redirected it.
"If I field my position in the third inning we get a double play," Gibson said. "Or, as it turns out, if I let the ball go, Dozier's right in the middle on a shift and the defense gets me out of the inning."
Gibson promptly walked Ben Zobrist to load the bases with Evan Longoria coming to the plate.
"You try to keep [Longoria] out of situations with runners in scoring position," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Unfortunately for us, he got in one."
With two outs, Longoria pounded a 2-0 fastball to deep right-center for a double that scored all three runners and staked the Rays to an early 3-0 lead.
"I just missed my spot," Gibson said. "I tried to go in, and I just pulled it across the plate."
The opposite-field hit flew over Oswaldo Arcia's outstretched glove and off the wall to clear the bases.
"Can he catch it?" Gardenhire asked. "I don't know, but that's not an easy play. Rocket hit to the wall and you're on a dead sprint."
Down by three, Minnesota's offense responded with a brief pulse in the bottom half. Dozier got on base with a single off Alex Cobb, and then Trevor Plouffe answered with a two-run home run. The blast -- Plouffe's seventh of the season and first since July 6 -- traveled 378 feet and narrowly got over the left-field wall.
"He put a nice swing on that," Gardenhire said. "He stayed on it and drove it out of the ballpark. Got us right back into it after we'd given up three."
But two innings later, Tampa Bay found a way to widen the gap. Gibson gave up a single to Kevin Kiermaier to lead off the fifth -- a play that was initially called an out, but was overturned via manager's challenge -- and then Zobrist knocked a line drive into the right-field porch to make it 5-2.
From there, the Twins' offense -- 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position -- stalled out.
The team put two runners on with one out in the fifth, but Kendrys Morales and Plouffe couldn't produce. Then, Cobb and reliever Brad Boxberger loaded the bases with two outs for Danny Santana in the sixth, but the recently reinstated Santana grounded out to end the last threat Minnesota could muster.
"You've got to take the pressure off [the pitcher] sometimes," Gardenhire said. "But still, you have a job to do as a starting pitcher, and that's to keep the guys in the game. Try to stay away from big innings. That's something we have to be more consistent with."
Gibson went 6 1/3 innings, but surrendered six runs for the second time in three starts. He put a runner on in the seventh before being replaced by Matt Guerrier, who promptly gave up an RBI single to Joyce.
"That's the hard part about pitching: Finding ways to work through six, seven innings when you don't have your best stuff," Gibson said. "There's times when I've done that, and tonight would've been one of those nights, but I got beat in a couple situations."
That play would end the scoring, thanks to an impotent Twins offense that suffered another run-starved defeat in front of the home crowd. Meanwhile, the Rays stayed hot and picked up their seventh win in 10 games.
"I was really impressed with our guys today -- the game that we played after that many days off," manager Joe Maddon said. "We pretty much picked up where we left off going into the All-Star break."
With Colorado in the rearview mirror, the Twins weren't able to say the same.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Strong fourth-quarter results in Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.'s core North American market helped the tire maker beat Wall Street estimates Thursday.
With car sales increasing, the number of tires sold to auto makers in North America rose 7 percent in the fourth quarter over the same period in 2012. Replacement tire shipments increased 1 percent.
The number of tires sold worldwide increased 2 percent to 40.7 million.
Goodyear also announced it fully funded its hourly pension fund with a $1.5 billion cash payment, ending more than a decade of dealing with the issue.
Goodyear shares rose 10 percent in midday trading.
The Akron-based company said it earned $228 million, or 84 cents per share, on sales of $4.8 billion. After one-time charges, Goodyear earned 74 cents, beating the Wall Street estimate of 65 cents.
Revenue missed the estimate of $4.98 billion and was off 5 percent from the fourth quarter of 2012, hurt by lower third-party chemical sales in North America and foreign currency issues.
The company had broken even on sales of $5 billion in the last quarter of 2012.
In the most recent quarter, Goodyear's North American segment operating income rose 72 percent to $199 million.
For the full year, Goodyear earned $600 million, or $2.28 per share, on sales of $19.5 billion, up from 2012 earnings of $183 million, or 74 cents per share, on sales of $20.9 billion.
With a new labor agreement, Goodyear said it has halted production at an Amiens, France, factory with a contentious past and will close it by March.
Last month protesting workers reached an agreement to end years of standoff, with Goodyear providing improved indemnities for employees who are let go.
Workers seized the plant's director and human resources chief for two days in early January to demand bigger severance packages. The managers were released after police intervened.
Chairman and CEO Richard Kramer said the pension fund payment would free up the company to become more competitive.
"For more than a decade we have been dealing with volatility associated with legacy obligations," he said in a conference call with analysts.
"With our legacy obligations essentially behind us, we can devote 100 percent of our efforts to creating competitive advantage."
Its shares rose $2.58, or 10.7 percent, to $26.75 in midday trading. Its shares have risen more than 90 percent so far this year.

In his seminal modernist paintings, Jean Dubuffet delved deep into questions of ground and materiality. Such themes were highly charged during the post–WWII period in which he worked, shortly after the destruction of many European cities as well as the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the war. The surfaces of his canvases are thick and clotted; their aesthetic is muddy and scatological. Dubuffet coined the term "Art Brut" to describe the kind of work that he collected and aspired toward: the untrained, outsider art of alienated groups, including children and the mentally ill. His own paintings are purposefully "deskilled," often possessing the spontaneity and crude aesthetic of finger paintings.

Bonnie Wright: The MiuMiu London Event
Bonnie Wright snaps a pic with Felicity Jones while attending the the-miumiu-london event held at Cafe Royal in London late last month.
The 21-year-old British beauty spoke with the brand about her future in film.
"The main person I've collaborated with is a man. Creating what we create and the ideas that we come up with wouldn't be the same if we were both women," she shared.
Bonnie continued, "I can be in touch with the masculine side and he can be in touch with the feminine side. When I was younger I was such a tomboy, and so often I still feel that side to me. It's also the armor, putting on that gear when you are on set to be more masculine. But I do not feel that most of my generation would want to be a feminist because of the sort of death of that word."

Two security guards in dark suits towered over Mary Carol Jennings, a spiky-haired medical student wearing a white doctor's coat, as she and some fifty others tried to enter DC's Ritz-Carlton Hotel one morning in early March. The contingent included representatives of the AFL-CIO, MoveOn and the Campaign for America's Future. Jennings was flanked by two members of the National Nurses Organizing Committee who held a giant certificate for the head of America's Health Insurance Plans, the trade group meeting inside the hotel.
"We hereby present Karen Ignagni, CEO [of] AHIP, with this award for Best Protector of Health Insurance Industry Profits at the Expense of Our Health," read the mock certificate, which they decided to leave on her car after being denied entrance to the Ritz. "We are confident that Karen Ignagni will continue to protect profits while paying lip service to 'health care reform.'"
This showdown was organized by a nine-month-old coalition known as Health Care for America Now, which claims more than 850 affiliate organizations. Having learned from the mistakes made by reformers in 1993 and '94, HCAN is launching an early assault on the organization that led the crusade against President Clinton's proposal. According to HCAN spokeswoman Jacki Schechner, "There was no organization on the left" during the Clinton fight, a time when insurers "talked nice about reform until it got down to the nitty-gritty" details of the plan.
"What we expect [from AHIP] is that there's going to be a lot of yes up front and a lot of no behind the scenes," she says. "We know [what] we're seeing this time around is a coordinated effort to say we're not going to buy it–this is not to be left in the hands of DC lobbyists and special interests anymore."
Though AHIP is publicly espousing cooperation–Ignagni told President Obama at a March 5 healthcare summit that "You have our commitment to play, to contribute and to help pass healthcare reform this year"–the group has already staked out its opposition to one of the planks of the president's proposal that progressives regard as most essential: giving the American people the choice of a public insurance plan alongside a range of private ones. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, the ranking Republican member of the Finance Committee, who also claims to be seeking a bipartisan compromise, has joined AHIP in drawing this line in the sand. HCAN has responded to Grassley's statements by broadcasting television ads in his state featuring a Des Moines nurse endorsing the choice of a public plan.
The public plan is important to many on the left as a fallback from the single-payer system many would prefer. But in practical terms, the public plan may be a crucial cost-containment measure–if it can run more efficiently than private plans, it can force costs down across the system through competition. So the debate over this provision is part of a much more fundamental question: can Washington summon the will to squeeze savings from insurers and providers and raise the revenues needed to cover the uninsured?

Reading the blogs and newsletters of the book trade can be a bit depressing at times. Not a week goes by without someone bemoaning the death of the industry and the absolute futility of it all. It is no secret that a very large number of booksellers, especially of the rare and collectible ilk, are on the older end of the baby boom; and that many (but not all) seem to think that somewhere along the line everything went terribly wrong in raising the next generation.
To this I have two comments. First, doesn't that sounds oh so similar to what the parents of the boomers themselves may have said around the time of the Summer of Love? Second, I think the rare and collectible book trade will be just fine. For full disclosure I'm 30 years old and am the son of a baby boomer myself, so feel free to take my opinion with as many grains of salt as you see fit.
Rare books are expensive, even scarce books take a certain amount of patience to find and acquire. Rome was not built in a day, and neither was a quality book collection. Young adults and youth today care just as much about the written word and this website could even be the lynchpin of the argument. BookFinder.com was created in 1997 by a young 19-year-old college student named Anirvan because he was trying to complete his Doonesbury collection. Just because he didn't pick up a copy of the AB Bookman didn't make him any less of a collector.
This is why I am so happy to see latest series from The Fine Books Blog has where they are interviewing young folks in the book industry. Here you can read an interview with 22-year-old Ashley Loga who has embarked on a career in the rare book trade after attending the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar. Her view on the future of the rare book trade pretty much matches mine.
Being only 22, I am perhaps one of the youngest ones currently in the trade. Personally, I am tired of this defeatist attitude. I frequently come across people bemoaning the death of the business on the list-serves. This frustrates me greatly. Having a defeatist attitude only hinders the business and does not help it grow at all. Everyone says that people my age do not collect but this is untrue. I know quite a few people under the age of 30 who collect books and take pride in their collections. I think this view partially comes from a disconnect with the older age group and the younger age group. And partially from the fact that people my age do not have the funds to buy books on the higher end of prices. Book fair advertisements need to not only target the older crowd through newspaper advertisements but also find new ways to target people in their 20s and 30s. The customers' desires are merely shifting: the business is not dying.
You can read the whole article here. What"s your feeling?

Andrews University Press announced the release of a new book with timely and powerful implications for Sabbath evangelism -- In Granite or Ingrained? What the Old and New Covenants Reveal about the Gospel, the Law, and the Sabbath -- by Skip MacCarty, long-time associate pastor for evangelism at Pioneer Memorial Church. The book was officially unveiled on Sunday, January 21 at the annual winter workers' meeting of Michigan Conference pastors at Camp Au Sable in Grayling, Mich.
"We deliberately chose to launch the book at a pastors' meeting because Dr. MacCarty is, first and foremost, a pastor," explained Ronald Knott, director of the Press. "He has written this book with a pastor's heart. He's seen people leave the Adventist Church over confusion about the covenants. So even though his book is a serious, in-depth work of careful scholarship, and is published by an academic press, its bottom-line value to the church will be found in how practicing pastors and informed lay people use it to advance a complete gospel message, particularly in reference to the Sabbath truth."
"Adventist pastors and members across the country will find MacCarty's book particularly timely in light of questions their fellow members may be asking," Knott said. In December, an organization of former Adventists sponsored a large mailing of a special issue of its magazine to church members in many parts of the United States. According to MacCarty, most of the group's long-standing attacks on the Sabbath, sometimes echoed by other evangelicals, are based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what the New Testament means in its presentation of the old and new covenants.
MacCarty's work addresses the basic issue of the covenants as the foundation for a proper understanding of the relationship of the gospel and the Sabbath. And on this understanding of the unity of the two covenants, he has received strong support from other evangelical quarters.
"Skip MacCarty has caught the spirit and the intent of the covenants and their relationship as well as anyone I know," writes Daniel I. Block in a back-cover recommendation. Block, a well-known evangelical scholar, is professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College in Ill., and previously held the same position at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ken.
"MacCarty offers a brilliant defense of the fundamental unity of the Scriptures," Block continues. "After helpfully distinguishing between the historical and experiential old and new covenants, he invites his readers to celebrate with him the glorious fact that in the old covenant, as much as in the new covenant, God offers a 'grace-based, gospel-bearing, and mission-directed' covenantal relationship with Himself. Until Christians grasp this message, the Old Testament will remain a dead book to the church."
The book also received back-cover endorsements from Norman Gulley, professor of systematic theology at Southern Adventist University, and Richard Davidson, professor of Old Testament, and George Knight, professor of church history, both from Andrews.
"In Granite or Ingrained? is just the kind of book Andrews University Press is well-positioned to publish," said Knott. "The Press is the only established academic publishing house serving the entire world church. In Granite or Ingrained? is a landmark book because it is the first serious, book-length work dealing substantially with Sabbath issues that the Adventist Church has published in more than 20 years. Our church's historic emphasis on higher education means we have an educated membership who appreciates serious books - books that mine scripture and at the same time have powerful practical application for advancing the remnant message. That's just what Dr. MacCarty's new book does, and we're proud to be the publisher."
The 344-page book makes its case in twelve chapters, sequentially addressing such topics as the core truths of the covenants, how God defined the new covenant, the new covenant DNA in the old covenant, history and experience in the two covenants, understanding difficult texts, and the practical, spiritual ramifications of living the covenants. In addition, the book includes several appendices containing practical tables and charts that allow for easy grasp of key concepts. The Press anticipates releasing a companion study guide for individuals and small groups later in the spring.
Skip MacCarty has been a pastor for 38 years, serving in Utah and Michigan. For more than 20 years he has pastored at Pioneer Memorial Church (PMC) on the Andrews campus, working closely with Dwight K. Nelson, senior pastor, in organizing PMC's major public and media-based evangelistic initiatives. He holds a doctor of ministry degree from the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary and is a recognized authority and seminar presenter on the relationship between stress and spiritual life.
Editorial work on the book was supervised by Deborah Everhart, editor of the Press. The book's cover and inside text were designed by Robert Mason, chair of the department of art and design. Tom Toews, production manager and seminary doctoral student, did the page-layout. Erno Gyeresi, customer service and business manager at the Press, is handling sales and marketing. The book was printed by Patterson Printing Company in Benton Harbor. In Granite or Ingrained? sells for $19.99 and is available at the Andrews University Bookstore, through Adventist Book Centers, and on-line at www.universitypress.andrews.edu.

"I think this looks pretty legit to me. I don't want to call it confirmed, but it certainly seems like the most convincing evidence yet.", writes GoNintendo.
No remote? I know part of the picture is cut out but it doesn't look like there is room for a remote in the picture.
They are most likely just getting the sku set up in inventory, and need to associate a price. I don't know if Nintendo even knows what they're selling the Wii U for yet.
Good price? u dont even know whats under the hood.. 8GB of memory too? $250 based on what ive seen so far.. Especially if they plan to compete w Microsoft & Sony.. PS3 will be $200 when this comes out.. Free blu ray player, HUGE amount of online content & games seems more appealing to the average consumer.. Just my opinion though.

Nashua forum: Brighter future for NH begins with ideasBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
April 30. 2013 10:20PM
NASHUA - Residents, officials and business leaders from all over southern New Hampshire gathered on Tuesday to brainstorm ideas on how to make the region a better place to live, learn, work and play.
More than 70 people participated in the forum, hosted jointly by the Nashua Regional Planning Commission, New Hampshire Listens and the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension.
Topics such as transportation needs, housing concerns, land-use regulations, energy consumption and economic development were all discussed in several small group settings.
"When we are all done with these various community conversations, an inductive analysis will be completed to see what concerns came up frequently," said Michele Holt-Shannon, associate director of New Hampshire Listens. "That input will be used to determine what matters in the state, which will then be incorporated into our regional master plans."
In order to keep New Hampshire communities vibrant, local voices are necessary to share the hopes of Granite State residents now and in the future, according to Kerrie Diers, executive director of the Nashua Regional Planning Commission.
In one group discussion on Tuesday, participants expressed significant concerns about New Hampshire's aging population, lack of affordable rental opportunities and inadequate transportation.
"Many people are nearing retirement, and there is no one waiting in the wings," said Jason Hoch, town administrator for Litchfield. Others agreed, saying many young people are leaving the state after graduation, opting not to return once they find employment elsewhere.
According to census data provided on Tuesday, New Hampshire has a high proportion of its workforce near retirement age while its population is growing older and families are having fewer children.
As the population ages, there are other concerns regarding transportation for the elderly and housing for senior citizens, according to those in attendance.
While there are several senior housing developments being constructed, there is not a lot of affordable rental properties in southern New Hampshire for young individuals and families, according to Eileen Brady of the Nashua Soup Kitchen and Shelter.
"We are in one of the most expensive areas because we are so close to Boston. We see people who can't afford a place on their income," said Brady, adding the median rent in Nashua is $1,100 a month. "Rentals are very high."
Her comments were echoed by Linda Kipnes of Hudson, who said more diverse housing is necessary to improve the quality of life in southern New Hampshire.
Brady said there is also the problem of inadequate transportation for people who cannot afford their own vehicle. Many jobs that were once available in the inner city have moved to outlying areas, making it difficult for those individuals without cars to obtain adequate jobs.
"Economically, New Hampshire is doing pretty good. Earnings are pretty high," said Chuck Lothrup of Nashua.
While New Hampshire's unemployment rate is significantly lower than the national rate, and state's residents, for the most part, do have more wealth compared to national averages, Hoch said those numbers could be skewed by the southern portion of the state.
Overall, the group said the state must do more to attract the younger population to stay in New Hampshire, while also providing diverse housing opportunities where people can live, work and play in a closer vicinity that does not rely so heavily on transportation.
Tuesday's community conversation was one of 11 meetings being held to determine ways to improve New Hampshire's lifestyle as part of the Granite State Future project.

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: Cummington, Massachusetts, is a small rural town at the Western end of Hampshire County in the foothills of the Berkshires. The town was purchased in 1762 as Township Number Five by proprietor Col. John Cumings of Concord, and was incorporated in 1779. It is the birthplace of William Cullen Bryant, long-time editor of the "New York Evening Post" and also the very successful "Picturesque America" which was published between 1872 and 1874. The Cummington Fair has been held annually since 1869, when the Hillside Agricultural Society held its first Cattle Show on Main Street, hoping that this would encourage young men to stay in farming.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Saudi Arabia says it has called back its ambassador to Sri Lanka following a similar move by the South Asian nation to protest the kingdom's beheading of a Sri Lankan domestic worker last month.
The two countries have been at odds since the January execution of Rizana Nafeek, who was convicted in the death of a Saudi baby in her care in 2005.
The case spurred global appeals for leniency because she was 17 at the time of the infant's death. She had denied strangling the 4-month-old boy.
The official Saudi Press Agency said on Wednesday that the ambassador was called to Riyadh for consultations. Sri Lanka withdrew its ambassador to the Gulf kingdom after the execution.

Theo Walcott has revealed that a fear of finishing below Tottenham has inspired their run of fine form.
A defeat to Tottenham, in March, left them seven points adrift of the their north London rivals, but a sublime run of form has helped them to catch up; they now sit one point ahead going in to the last match day.
Arsenal go into the final match knowing that a win will secure them a place in the Champions League next season, but that arch rivals Tottenham are ready to take their place if they do not win against Newcastle on the final day of the season.
Arsenal winger Theo Walcott explained after their 4-1 home win against Wigan, that the fear of finishing below Spurs, and outside of the Champions League places for the first time in 15 years is pushing them on, motivating them to win their final games.
"We just have great experience in knowing what to do when the time is right. It is funny. It happens every year. We tend to finish very strong. I think it is just because the players want it so much," said Walcott to Sky Sports.
"Champions League football is big for the future of the club and the players. We have been in it for the last 15 years and we don't want to be the players who are not part of that.
"We just need to show that in the mid-season and at the start and we could hopefully be even higher than we are and not have this situation we are in. But it is very positive, and we will be fighting strong on Sunday."
Arsenal's top scorer this season also revealed he is still eager to play in a centre-forward role for the club. His lack of time up front was cited as a reason for his delay in signing a new deal but even after he has signed it he has found his options limited.
He said: "I am making runs in from the right and the manager is playing me up front now and then.
"I can wander at times and it works - there is a lot of rotation in that front line so when it is working, don't change it."

This is the breakthrough we have been waiting for. Senators Lieberman and Warner have achieved something I thought impossible one year ago - they have written a climate bill that has a very real chance of passage. They demonstrated a clear commitment for meeting critical objectives of the business and environmental communities while bringing together their colleagues on both sides of the aisle. We are optimistic about their vision and look forward to working with them to make this bill a reality.
I am very excited about the prospects of moving this bill through the Environment and Public Works Committee. The bill will reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions at an ambitious yet achievable rate through 2050, it will use a suite of market-based measures to do so in the least costly way possible, and it will drive deployment of the climate-friendly technologies we need to fight climate change while growing our economy. I remain hopeful that this process, combined with the effort being led by Chairman Dingell in the House, will yield a law by next year.
Pew is no longer active in this line of work, but for more information, visit the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions site.

Captain George Manders is retiring from duty as keeper of Beavertail Light, Jamestown, after 24 years. Two adventures as highlights in the life Captain Manders, include the rescue 35 years ago, at Narragansett Pier, of the casino steward from heavy seas when the life guards were unable to launch their boat, and when Mr. Manders' dory was repeatedly capsized. The captain with a lifeline around his waist swam through the heavy surf to reach the exhausted steward and bring him to shore. He received a Carnegie hero medal.
He had a novel experience at Pennfield when he captured an armed bandit and turned him over to the police.
The Armistice Ball held Thursday evening at the grange hall, under the auspices of the American Legion, was largely attended by Legion and Auxiliary members and friends. At 11 o'clock all stood in silence in memory of those who died in the service. The grand march was led by past Commander Jesse C. Tefft and Mrs. William Boone, president of the Legion Auxiliary, with Bowen's orchestra furnishing the music. During intermission the auxiliary served refreshments.

The Town Council stood firm on Monday on a Nov. 18 public hearing on a proposed harbor ordinance.
The council approved a recommendation to have an architect draw up a plan for transforming the lobby of the recreation center into part of the police station. The general plan would also include two new restrooms and a new entrance to the center, possibly from the rear of the building, into what is now the stage area. The council voted to advertise an ordinance change, which would increase the fee for dumping at the transfer station to $25 and the fine for littering and illegal dumping to $200.
