More Neb. families could qualify for care subsidy
More Neb. families could qualify for care subsidy
LINCOLN, Neb. —
A bill that would allow more working families in Nebraska to qualify for child care subsidies is headed to a final vote in the Legislature.
Lawmakers gave the measure second-round approval on Wednesday, after holding firm on a provision that would allow more children to receive the benefit. Some lawmakers questioned the size of the increase, which would cost the state an estimated $857,000 in the next fiscal year.
Current law sets the income threshold at 120 percent of the federal poverty level, so a family of three making less than about $23,400 would qualify. The bill would raise that threshold to 130 percent, or $25,400.
Supporters noted that the child care subsidy includes work requirements and copays, based on what a family can afford.

Cultural Competency Issues
What is cultural competence?
Cultural Competence is a set of academic and personal skills that allow us to increase our understanding and appreciation of cultural differences between groups. However, a lack of understanding and appreciation of these cultural differences impacts how health care is delivered, therefore leading to health disparities among minorities (Orlandi, M., Weston, R. and Epstein, L.G. Eds, 1992).
The Office of Cultural Diversity and Enrichment
The Office of Cultural Diversity and Enrichment was created in March 2001 to help address the public health needs of minorities in Indiana in order to reduce major barriers leading to disparities. It has been documented that healthcare disparities among minority populations are at epidemic proportions compared to non-minority populations across the State of Indiana. In fact, the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) recognized that there was a need to place a stronger emphasis on cultural competency for all health care professionals and ISDH funded programs to address the health needs of minorities.
Cultural Competence Workshops
In order to address these needs the Office of Cultural Diversity and Enrichment offers a two- (2) day Cultural Competence Workshop once a month. The Cultural Competence workshops emphasize cultural knowledge and cultural differences, strategies for working with racial/ethnic populations, the principles of interpreter services, and discussion of four different cultures (African American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaskan Native). For those health care professionals who have attended the two-day workshop a 1-day Advanced Cultural Competency Workshop is offered once a month. This workshop is to: expand knowledge of the general characteristics of culture/ethnic groups in the U.S. (including religious groups, e.g. Muslims, and persons with disabilities), and to develop techniques for understanding each client as a unique person within his or her ethnic and racial heritage. Over 1500 health care professionals have attended and participated in these workshops. The Office of Cultural Diversity and Enrichment puts forth the educational efforts so that health care professionals will have more acceptance of and respect for differences, a continuing self-assessment, and growing fund of knowledge related to minority health continuity. Furthermore, through education, policies and programs one can incorporate concerns, and provide effective services for all minority populations.
The Manual for Health Care Providers
The Manual for Health Care Providers is offered with basic greetings and general information, risk factors and general instructions in English and Spanish.

Madonna Cancels Australia Tour Plans
Madonna hasn't toured Australia for 20 years, last visiting in 1993 on her Girlie Show tour. Her return was long overdue and she had planned to hit the country on next year's leg of the MDNA tour. However, she canceled the dates. What a bummer for fans of Madge who are Down Under.
Live Nation confirmed the cancelation on Tuesday (July 17) without any explanation or reason. Word is that stadiums in Sydney and Melbourne were booked for next year. However, high ticket prices and a crowded touring market were rumored to be the reasons for nixing the shows, as the tour would be "unviable."
According to the BBC, a rep said the tour will end in South America in December, stating, "Unfortunately it didn't work out for this tour. She appreciates her Aussie fans coming to many of the shows. We are long overdue for a trip Down Under and apologize for that. It will happen."
Madge has remained out of market in Australia for far too long! When she skipped Oz on two prior tours, she blamed logistics and finances. She's not doing herself any favors with her Aussie fans as she bypasses them yet again. Boo! Hiss!
Despite this "setback," the MDNA tour is doing well, having raked in almost $50 million in receipts thus far. It's not without controversy, though, thanks to her usage of the swastika and her repeated flashing of flesh. Her show in Poland is being protested since the locals take issue with the way she perverts Catholic imagery during her stage shows and her gig falls on a solemn holiday.
Never a dull moment on Planet Madge.

Rated 2 out of 5 by VegasBound from Too baggy Although beautiful beading in the front, the dress looks baggy on. I am a size 6 and Small was too big, so I will return it. I wasn't impressed with the overall shape of the dress either, so I will not consider a smaller size.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from Concept is Good, Execution Not-So-Much Really wanted to love this dress for my bachelorette party. While it looks ok, it definitely doesn't do anything for my figure. If you do have an hourglass figure try something else...I think this dress is best left to stick-figures. Another big problem is the back of the dress...looks super cheap in comparison with the rest of the dress and you better have a slip or spanx on because it will show everything! Luckily I had a nude slip to wear under it that made things look much better but the lining of the dress is longer than the overlay....plus the lining seems to come up in the neckline too which is weird. Pretty sure I will return, but waiting for my sister's opinion. Woulld have been perfect if was a bit more fitted and the back was designed better. The picture makes the dress look white with silver beading, but it is very much a blush color. Also, I usually wear a small, but in this dress I headed others advice and go the XS...still seems a bit big...

Rated 2 out of 5 by Tracy82 from Didn't like it at all I ordered a xs after carefully measuring myself, but when I received this dress it looked more like a medium or size 5 dress. I also didn't think it looked as nice as it did on the website so I didn't exchange for a smaller size. The back looked like cheap lingerie an the front beads were also kind of ruined from being shoved into my mailbox. First bebe dress that I hated!

Rated 5 out of 5 by TeamTeal from Beautiful beading and sequins I felt like I belonged in the Great Gatsby movie when I put on this dress. The color is perfect and I love the beading and sequins. Such high quality for the price. I did have to size down to XXS (range from XS-S usually) Absolutely gorgeous and glamorous dress! Exactly what I wanted to wear for my birthday.

Difference between revisions of "Brooklyn"
Revision as of 00:55, 1 October 2012
Brooklyn (its name as borough of the city of New York; it is also Kings County, a county of the state of New York), the "Borough of Homes and Churches," is one of the five Boroughs of New York. It used to be and still feels much like a city in its own right, with approximately 2.5 million inhabitants. If separated from the rest of New York City, Brooklyn would be the 4th most populous American city.
Brooklyn is situated on the westernmost point of Long Island and shares a land boundary with Queens, which partially encircles Brooklyn to the north, east and south; Manhattan lies across the East River to the west and north of Brooklyn, and Staten Island is across the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to the southwest.
Brooklyn is currently enjoying a period of growth and affluence not seen since before World War II. There's world-class theater at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the center of a proposed new arts district that will include a new art museum and a highly controversial Frank Gehry-designed sports area home for the NBA's Nets. Frederick Law Olmsted, who designed Brooklyn's Prospect Park as well as Manhattan's Central Park, thought his Brooklyn creation the finer of the two. Elsewhere in the borough, Williamsburg is a hipster neighborhood and burgeoning art colony, and Brighton Beach is home to New York's largest concentration of Russian immigrants.
Brooklyn was once a separate city independent of the City of New York. The cities merged at the end of the nineteenth century, forever after lamented by Brooklynites as "The Great Mistake of 1898." Although Brooklyn is very diverse, what makes Brooklyn so different from the other boroughs are its distinct cultural neighborhoods. Manhattan is frequently referred to as "the city" by residents of the other boroughs — for example, in the phrase "I'm going to the city." Many Brooklynites have a great deal of pride in their borough, and most New Yorkers consider Brooklynites to have an identity distinct from that of other New Yorkers. In any case, remember while speaking to Brooklynites that referring to Manhattan as "the city" is acceptable but calling Manhattan "New York City" is not. Be careful not to confuse Brooklyn and the Bronx - they are very different parts of New York City.
Visitor Information
Get in
By Subway
Brooklyn is well served by some 18 subway lines, most of which provide direct service to Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx. The sheer size of the borough does make it harder to identify the fastest route - it is best to download a subway map from the Metropolitan Transit Authority's website [25] or pick one up for free at what New Yorkers still anachronistically call a token booth, even though tokens are no longer on sale or used in the New York subways.
There are 3 lines you can take to get directly from Queens to Brooklyn. The A goes from the Rockaways in Queens through the eastern edges of Brooklyn into Bedford-Stuyvesant and finally Downtown Brooklyn before continuing in Manhattan. You can also transfer to the C for local service. Beware taking this route at night, because it passes through some rough neighborhoods, including East New York.
The J/Z goes from Jamaica in Queens (near JFK; take the AirTrain to Jamaica) through Williamsburg. It goes through many of the same rough neighborhoods as the A. The M travels from central Queens through Williamsburg while conveniently avoiding the rough neighborhoods that the J/Z goes through but inconveniently ending up in an isolated neighborhood with little interest to tourists.
The final choice is the controversial G, which snakes from Long Island City through Williamsburg and Downtown Brooklyn before ending near Prospect Park. Although it may look like the best way to get from Queens to Brooklyn, it is notoriously slow and irregular, and sometimes lines that go through Manhattan are faster. However, the G does serve some areas relatively unserved by other subways. And even though the trains are a bit grungy and the stations dilapidated, the G doesn't go anywhere really dangerous.
The L also goes into Queens from Brooklyn but so briefly that it's not a practical option for getting between the two boroughs.
The Q train travels from Coney Island to Midtown Manhattan, passing through Sheepshead Bay, Kings Highway, Midwood, Kensington, Park Slope and South Brooklyn, and parallels the main roads of Ocean Parkway and Coney Island Avenue. It also stops at the main transfer stations of Atlantic Avenue, 14th Street -Union Square, and 34th Street, making it easy to transfer to other main lines, including the B, 1, 2, 3, R, J, M, and Z trains.
The F train route is very similar to that of the Q train except that its stops are on the opposite side of Ocean Parkway.
By LIRR
The Long Island Rail Road [26] has a major station at Atlantic Terminal (Atlantic Avenue subway station), which is accessible from the Atlantic Avenue/Pacific Street combined subway stop, served by the 2, 3, 4, 5 (on weekdays), B (on weekdays), D, N, Q, and R lines and near the Lafayette Avenue station of the C train and the Fulton Street station of the G train. Other LIRR stops in Brooklyn are Nostrand Av. at Atlantic Avenue (served by the A and C subway lines a few blocks away on Fulton Street) and East New York (served by the A, C, L, J, and Z a few blocks away at Broadway Junction and the L at Atlantic Avenue, though Broadway Junction is probably a safer bet). Eastbound trains continue to Jamaica Station in Queens, from where passengers can change to most LIRR lines for points further east or take the AirTrain to John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK). The LIRR no longer runs in Brooklyn during late nights (midnight to around 5 AM), so to get to JFK from Downtown Brooklyn then, you have to take the A
By bus
Brooklyn is covered by an extensive network of MTA buses, for which a map is essential [27]. Of particular note is the B51 bus, which runs between City Hall in Manhattan and Smith St./Fulton St. in Downtown Brooklyn, via the Manhattan Bridge. The trip is particularly beautiful on the way to Manhattan because of the skyline. Note that the bus operates only on weekdays, with the last bus leaving Smith St./Fulton St. at 7:10 P.M. and from Park Row at 7:40 P.M., according to the current schedule and depending on traffic. See the MTA website for bus maps and schedules of individual bus lines. The B39 travels over the East River on the Williamsburg Bridge between Manhattan and Brooklyn. Another route of note is the B15, which runs between JFK Airport and the Woodhull Hospital in South Williamsburg. Service on that route is provided around the clock. Possibly the longest mostly straight-line bus route in Brooklyn is the B41, which runs nearly the length of Flatbush Avenue from the line's northern terminal near Borough Hall just west of Flatbush Avenue itself to Kings Plaza at Avenue U (with a branch to the Mill Basin and Bergen Beach areas), about 9 miles away. Other long routes run a limited-stop service that stops at major intersections and points of interest. Limited-stop service is provided on the B6, B41, B44 (along Nostrand/Bedford Avenues), B46 (along Utica Avenue), and B35 (along Church Avenue). That pattern is in effect from around 6 AM to 10 PM daily on these routes (5 AM-11:30 PM on the B46). The B49 has southbound limited-stop service on weekday mornings, mainly tailored for college students traveling to Kingsborough Community College. The B103 is a limited-stop route between Downtown Brooklyn and Canarsie, which runs on weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
One can also take express buses, with an X prefix, to/from Manhattan ($5.50 one way). Most express buses serve Southern Brooklyn, for the most part an area that's somewhat subway deprived, especially to the east. The X27 and X28 run daily from around 6 AM to 11:30 PM. Other express routes run every day except Sunday and have a BM prefix.
By car
The connections between Queens and Brooklyn are too numerous to mention, because the two boroughs share a land boundary, so almost every street on the border just continues into the other borough. (Prior to 1990, the street signs in each borough had different colors, but they have since all become green - with the exception of brown signs for historic streets - and can no longer be useful in distinguishing between the boroughs.)
The Williamsburg, Manhattan, and Brooklyn Bridges link Manhattan and Brooklyn, and the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge links Staten Island and Brooklyn. Only the Verrazano is a toll bridge. There is also a toll tunnel, the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, which links Brooklyn with the Battery (the southern tip of Manhattan).
By foot or bicycle
All the bridges between Brooklyn and Manhattan are now accessible to both pedestrians and cyclists. Prospect Park's main road is closed to cars on weekends and open to bicycles. There are numerous bicycle paths in the park. Along New York Bay to the southwest, there are many sections where one can bicycle. Ocean Parkway also has a bicycle path that runs from Coney Island at the southern end of Brooklyn to the neighborhood of Park Slope.
By ferry
The 'Water Taxi,' at Fulton Ferry Landing[28], provides service from various points in Manhattan along the East River. The Water Taxi recently added service between southern Manhattan and Red Hook, intended for customers of the newly built Red Hook Ikea but available to everyone.
Get around
By Subway
The subway is overall the best way to get around Brooklyn, although there are some spots, notably Red Hook and parts of East Brooklyn (including most of the tourist attractions), where subway coverage is poor and bus transportation is encouraged.
The biggest hub is Atlantic Avenue (also called Pacific St). From there, there are transfers to pretty much any line in Brooklyn. Many of the lines that don't stop there do stop elsewhere in Downtown Brooklyn. After Downtown, however, the lines fan out in all directions, and it is difficult to transfer elsewhere, although the Franklin Ave. Shuttle in Bed-Stuy does help somewhat. The G can transfer to the lines that don't stop in Downtown. In East Brooklyn, the L serves the same purpose.
Broadway Junction in Bed-Stuy and East New York is a minor hub between trains that don't stop at Atlantic. Changing there can be useful if you're going to Northern Brooklyn. Coney Island is a major hub for four lines--it's possible to do a "loop tour" of Southern Brooklyn by changing there.
By bus
Buses generally fan out from one of several hubs, including the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station, Kings Plaza, the Broadway Junction subway station, Downtown Brooklyn, the Myrtle/Wyckoff Avenues subway station, the Brooklyn College subway station (Flatbush Avenue), and the Williamsburg bus plaza.
There are locations, including Kings Plaza, where dollar vans shuttle riders to and from nearby subway stations.
By commuter rail
There is the option of taking the Long Island Rail Road if your starting and ending points are in the following neighborhoods: Downtown Brooklyn, near Atlantic Avenue/Flatbush Avenue, Bedford-Stuyvesant, near Atlantic Avenue/Nostrand Avenue, and East New York, near Atlantic Avenue/Van Sinderen Avenue. It isn't terribly convenient, due to the limited stops and relatively infrequent service, but if you need to go to exactly the areas it stops in, it's faster than the subway.
Museums and galleries
Prospect Park is home to the Brooklyn Museum, NYC's second largest art museum. Downtown is home to the New York Transit Museum. Bedford-Stuyvesant and Flatbush are home to the Brooklyn Children's Museum and the Jewish Children's Museum, which is the largest Jewish-themed children's museum in the United States. Williamsburg is home to the Hogar Collection. The Transit Museum is worth checking out and it only costs $7.
Parks and gardens
Prospect Park is home to, of course, Prospect Park, designed by Olmsted and Vaux, who also designed Manhattan's Central Park but preferred their Brooklyn creation. Adjacent to the park is the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, a 52-acre garden that is home to more than 10,000 taxa of plants.
Marine Park is a public park that is located in the Marine Park neighborhood and surrounds the westernmost inlet of Jamaica Bay. It has about 800 acres and has a bike path, handball court, shuffleboard court and playground. The park is mainly a fertile salt marsh that is supplied with freshwater from Gerritsen Creek.
Other destinations
There are also many concerts at churches and synagogues (for example in Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope), as well as at colleges (such as Brooklyn College and New York Technical College). Check the listings in newspapers like the New York Press and Village Voice, which also have websites.
Celebrate Brooklyn During the summer season Prospect Park hosts the Celebrate Brooklyn concert campaign every weekend in the Bandshell area of the park. Concerts vary from artists like Bob Dylan, to Norah Jones and even attract younger audiences to shows performed by electronica bands like MGMT.
As the birth place of hip-hop culture, New York has hundreds of records stores scattered around the area. Also, though vinyl has disappeared from the shelves of regular record stores, many stores still sell used and new vinyl.
Stay safe
Brooklyn may have a tough reputation, but it is largely quite safe these days. There are, however, a few areas in which a traveler should be cautious. The most notorious neighborhood for crime in Brooklyn is East New York, an area unlikely to be of much interest to travelers, though many will pass through. Don't be afraid to pass through it on the subway or LIRR, though--that is quite safe. Red Hook, while recently trendy, still has pockets of high crime. Other neighborhoods with relatively high crime include Brownville and Bedford-Stuyvesant (BedStuy). However, crime in Brooklyn is nowhere near as bad as it used to be, and the traveler should largely be safe.

The Paralympic flame was extinguished in Sunday night's closing ceremony in Sochi, Russia, just as voting ended in a referendum on whether neighboring Crimea should split off from Ukraine and seek annexation by Russia. Although Ukraine backed off from boycotting the Paralympics, the crisis afflicting their homeland remained on the minds of athletes competing in Russia. In protest, Ukrainian parathletes covered their medals during podium ceremonies.
"That is how we show our protest and disagreement that our country could be divided and part of it could be excluded from Ukraine," said Iuliia Batenkova, who won six medals in Sochi including one gold. "Crimea is my motherland, where I was born, and of course I worry about it. I want peace."
Here are some images from the Paralympics games:

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
As will become apparent from this post, I am no Storage Admin. My apologies for offending the sensibilities of those who know this topic better than I do!
I get asked occasionally about placing SQL Server data on SAN storage, and I've done it with a few systems, and a lot of smart people helping me, so here's a SAN 101 crib sheet for DBAs who may be new to this.
Storage vendors do have a reputation (they are selling things, after all) to pitch their stuff in a way that makes it seem like all your performance worries will vanish in some kind of magic fiber-optic {poof}. Not so, I'm afraid. Enterprise arrays are good, but they are still subject to the laws of physics. The disks in an array are still disks, the cache is just a cache. This is good for the DBA, in a way, because if you know how to size direct attached storage by spindle count and IOPS, then - whooee! - it's not really that different. There are things that help performance some, like a huge write cache with write re-ordering and fault tolerance, but you don't have to throw out what you know and start over. Lots of random IO still means you need lots of random IO capacity, which still means disks.
The fundamental mistake I have seen is to hand a SAN administrator (or your SAN vendor) a spec about how much space you need for your data. That is a recipe for disaster. What is important is what the performance profile is, and, just as with plain ol' disks, IOPS will determine what the hardware has to look like in an array. And you want to do that before you get the price quote, because the performance, not the space, will drive the cost. Ask for a terabyte? You might get one 1 TB SATA disk. That won't be happy at all.
OK, so there's a whole economics problem to be aware of. SAN storage is expensive, sometimes very expensive. In some circumstances, it's still worth it, but the price tag is undeniable. Examples: if you have the same amount of storage (or in the SQL world, amount of storage performance) in direct attached disks, and in SAN storage, the SAN flavor is going to cost a lot more up front. It's pretty easy to spend $1,000 per disk for 15k fiber channel disk drives in an array.
However, with real IT in real organizations of any size, things are more complicated - there isn't one, unchanging and monolithic system. In fact, things, servers, storage requirements, circumstances, applications all change at a breakneck pace. What we do, most of the time, is try to accomodate change and keep things "up." That is life for many IT pros. So it is not cheaper to have piles and piles of unutilized or overspec'd direct attached storage sitting around, married to single servers. If you had to buy twice what you needed, where's the savings? When you buy into a SAN what you are buying is, or should be, flexibility. The flexibility to use it fully, all the time, and to change the storage allocation for all your servers without physically scrapping storage hardware and buying new. If you have a SAN, and it's not providing that value, then you probably wasted your money.
So, if you have one relatively static database server and you're looking at storage options, direct-attached might save you a pile of money. Don't build a SAN for performance around a couple of servers -- there's no compelling performance-per-dollar argument. On the other hand, if you find that you look around your enterprise and see tens or hundreds of servers where there's a huge waste factor for storage in some places, and full disks in others, there's your SAN opportunity. This server over here is low on disk space? OK, let's just add some. That one had too much, and we're wasting space? Take some away. Storage over here is too slow? Migrate it to a set if disks with more performance.
In other words:
Best case: one SQL Server or cluster with correct direct attached storage, fully utilized. Nice, but this is the real world!
Best case: one SQL Server or cluster with correct direct attached storage, fully utilized. Nice, but this is the real world!
Next best: a heterogeneous, changing environment that uses SAN storage to best advantage
Worse: a collection of over-spec'd DAS hardware that is under 50% utilized, but can't realistically be changed. It seemed cheap at the time, but there's so darn much of it!
Worst: a big, expensive, under-utilized SAN
Next best: a heterogeneous, changing environment that uses SAN storage to best advantage
Worse: a collection of over-spec'd DAS hardware that is under 50% utilized, but can't realistically be changed. It seemed cheap at the time, but there's so darn much of it!
Worst: a big, expensive, under-utilized SAN
I've blogged about this before, but suffice it to say that bad communication with the SAN admin = FAIL. SQL Server often has unique and demanding IO requirements that don't go away just because you have a fancy array. You have to be able to work that out with the storage admins, if you have them, or the vendor, if you are in a smaller shop. Together you will have to talk through the need to separate logs, data and backups, and what the performance profile of each "virtual" disk system needs to be, backed by perf counter data, to prevent the SAN nightmare: "We spent our $5,000,000 and the VP wants to know why it's SLOW."

Project Description
URS Group, in collaboration with the University of Texas and Trimeric Corporation, will investigate the use of concentrated piperazine (PZ) as a solvent for absorbing CO2 from coal-fired power plant flue gas while employing a novel, high-temperature, two-stage flash regeneration design. The project objectives are to quantify and validate the robustness of concentrated PZ in an integrated absorption/stripping system with solvent regeneration at 150°C; optimize the equipment design and energy performance of the two-stage flash system; and identify and resolve other potential operational and design issues including process control, corrosion, foaming, and solids precipitation. The project results will be used to evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of a full-scale implementation of this process. Previous evaluations of concentrated PZ have indicated greater than 90% capture with significant progress toward the Department of Energy's (DOE's) cost of electricity goal. This project continues the development of the PZ-based CO2 absorption process through field tests at the University of Texas' Separations Research Program plant and DOE's National Carbon Capture Center.
Project Benefits
This project focuses on mitigating capture cost and performance impacts using a concentrated PZ solvent. Concentrated PZ offers higher working capacity, thermal stability, and stripper pressure; faster CO2 absorption; and less oxidative degradation to decrease compressor requirements as well as capital and operating costs. Specifically, this project will involve bench-scale process testing followed by scale up to the 0.5 MWe scale.

The Points System
DMV uses a point system to rate drivers. You receive demerit points for unsafe driving and safe driving points for good driving.
Demerit Points
Demerit points are assigned when you are convicted of a traffic violation, and remain valid for two years from the date you commit the offense.
Demerit points can add up. Each time you commit a traffic offense, DMV adds additional demerit points to your record. This can add up to big trouble for some drivers.
Different violations carry different point assignments, depending on the seriousness of the offense. For example, you will receive 3 demerit points if you make an improper U-turn; however, you will receive 6 demerit points if you speed 20 miles per hour or more above the posted speed limit. For more information, refer to Moving Violations and Point Assessments.
Safe Points
Safe driving points are assigned for each full calendar year that you hold a valid Virginia drivers license and drive without any violations or suspensions. In some cases, you may also earn safe driving points by completing a driver improvement clinic.
Annual safe driving points are awarded in early April of each year for the previous calendar year.
You can accumulate a total of 5 safe driving points and you may use these safe driving points to offset demerit points, as shown in the following example.
For five years, Molly followed all the safe driving rules and always obeyed the speed limit. She accumulated a safe driving point each year, for a total of 5 points. One day Molly ran a red light, and DMV assigned 4 demerit points to her driving record. However, since she had previously earned 5 safe driving points, she ended up with 1 safe driving point left on her record.

UPDATED: Fire damages building in Farmington Wednesday; pets savedBY JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
May 01. 2013 8:21PM
FARMINGTON – Local and state investigators are looking into a fire that displaced four families on Winter Street Wednesday afternoon.
Police, firefighters and emergency personnel responded at 3:47 p.m. when the fire was reported at the two-story building at 19 Winter St.
Fire Chief Richard Fowler said there were no injuries and firefighters were able to rescue some pets. He said firefighters believe all of the people and animals were able to escape or be removed.
"We did save a cat," Fowler said. "They pulled out a turtle (from the home)."?
Local crews were assisted by firefighters from Alton, Milton, New Durham and Rochester. Alton and Gilmanton provided station coverage.
After searching the home, firefighters believe the building was clear of people.
Firefighters vented the top of the building and removed insulation to ensure the fire was out.
By 5:30 p.m. only Farmington and New Durham firefighters remained at the scene and part of Winter Street was blocked by police.
Fowler said one apartment was destroyed and three others sustained serious heat, smoke and water damage. He added no one was injured as a result of the fire.
Members of the American Red Cross and Victims Inc. are assisting displaced residents.
Fowler said it's still too soon to tell whether the fire is suspicious or not.

Sammy Sosa's Skin? Just 'Rejuvenation'

Sammy Sosa's skin has not been digitally altered in the recent photo you see on the left. And despite the theories flying, this also isn't Michael Jackson Part II -- his skin hasn't been stripped of any pigment by a disorder such as Vitiligo.
It turns out Sosa has just been undergoing a "rejuvenation process," according to Cubs employee Rebecca Polihronis, who speaks frequently with the baseball legend.
"He is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin," Polihronis told the Chicago Tribune. "Women have it all of the time. He was surprised he came out looking so white. I thought it was a body double. Part of (the photo appearance) is just the lighting.
"He is in the middle of doing a cleansing process to his skin. The picture is deceiving. He said, 'If you saw me in person, you would be surprised. When you see me in person, it is not going to seem like the picture.' "
The photo in which Sosa's skin appears bleached was taken Nov. 4, when Sammy and his wife Sonia attended an awards event at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
After the startling photos circulated around the Internet, many began to question what exactly had caused Sosa's pale skin color. But as Polihronis said, Sosa is "not trying to be Michael Jackson."
"People who saw him in person did not react the same way. He can't believe it is such a big deal," said Polihronis, who is the former Cubs Care/Community Relations manager for the team.
According to the Tribune report, some of the possible side effects for this kind of laser skin rejuvenation include discoloration, as the treated area may become lighter or darker in appearance. Sosa reportedly sought the dermatological process in order to repair some of the UV damage from playing so many years of baseball in the sun.
Sosa announced his intention to retire from baseball on June 3, and if that retirement stands, he'll finish his career with a whopping 609 home runs and 1,667 runs batted in.
Well, now that the skin mystery has been solved, we can move on to other questions -- like wondering why Sosa has taken a liking to green contact lenses.
