Astoria's western border is the East River. The southern border is just north of Queens Plaza, though the Post Office marks it along Broadway and 31st Avenue. The eastern border with Woodside is 50th Street.
Astoria dates to the colonial 1650s, when William Hallett Sr. received a land grant for what would become known as Astoria and Hallet's Cove. Stephen Halsey founded the village in 1839, naming Astoria after John Jacob Astor. In the 1870s William Steinway built Steinway Village for workers at Steinway & Sons Piano Factory.
Waves of immigrants have made Astoria home, from Czechs in the 1890s to Brazilians in the 1990s. Though famous for Greeks, Italians-Americans were more numerous until recently.
Long Island City lies in western Queens across the East River from Manhattan. The history of Long Island City spans more than 360 years from its humble beginning as Dutch farmland in the 1640s to its growth into a residential and commercial hub. On the western shore of Queens, Long Island City borders the East River to the north and west (spanning the length of midtown Manhattan to Harlem), Newtown creek to the south, and 51st/Hobart Street to the east. Although it has always been an integral part of the history of New York City, Long Island City has its own unique past.
Chartered in 1870, Long Island City was the merging of the village of Astoria and several hamlets such as Steinway, Ravenswood, and Hunters Point. Long Island City existed independently from New York City for 28 years until it was incorporated by the City of New York in the consolidation of 1898.
During the late 1800's, there was an increase in the commercial and industrial life of New York City, bringing about an increase in European immigration and a greater demand for real estate in Astoria. This era marked the beginning of the German settlement of Astoria by German cabinet makers. Few people have done so much to transform a country village into a community as the German immigrant Henry Steinway, patriarch of the Steinway Piano factory. After building a piano factory in 1853, Steinway and his family erected both a sawmill and a foundry. They carved out streets and opened a streetcar line; they built what was known as Steinway Village, complete with Victorian row houses, a church, and a school where German was taught as a second language. They also provided workers with one of the first free kindergartens in the United States.
The Long Island Rail Road terminal was built on Hunters Point in 1861, which helped the district become an industrial center during the Civil War. After the villages were consolidated into Long Island City, the new city government encouraged developing industry; gas plants, chemical and glass factories soon lined the East River waterfront.
The status of Astoria was changed in 1898, when it became part of greater New York City. Large farms and country estates were transformed into housing tracts for single family homes and apartment complexes. The largest gasworks in New York State and a railroad trestle for the Pennsylvania Railroad were constructed. By the end of the 19th century, the city had the highest concentration of industry in the United States.
In 1909, the biggest transformation began with the opening of the Queensboro Bridge, immediately changing the community from a remote suburb to a destination minutes from Manhattan. Continuing this expansion, the Second Avenue elevated train opened in 1917, connecting Long Island City even more closely to Manhattan. The Queensboro Bridge and the Second Avenue train proved only to be the beginning of the routes in and out of Long Island City. The Triboro Bridge, linking Manhattan, Bronx & Queens, was finished on July 11th, 1936. Today, Long Island City is connected with the rest of New York City by six tunnels and five bridges. The development of bridges, tunnels and roads helped make Long Island City an accessible and vital industrial area for New York City.
Astoria Pool opened with much fanfare on the fourth of July in the scorching summer of 1936 on the first day of the Olympic trials. It was the best of 10 pools that opened within a 10-week span in what was dubbed as "the swimming pool year". It is still the city's largest pool (54,450 sq. ft.). Tens of thousands have enjoyed the warm water of Astoria Pool since its opening.
The Astoria branch is located at the corner Astoria Boulevard and 14th Street in Astoria. The branch opened on November 19th 1904. The total construction cost was $47,208.09. An addition was added to the original building in 1936. WPA artist Max Spivak's circus mural graces the wall of the Adult room. The branch is 8600 square feet. The orange brick building stands one story high.

Not long ago, I focused one of my weekly chats on eldercare. Joining me was Tim Prosch, author of "The Other Talk: A Guide to Talking with Your Adult Children About the Rest of Your Life."
Not long ago, I focused one of my weekly chats on eldercare.
Joining me was Tim Prosch, author of "The Other Talk: A Guide to Talking with Your Adult Children About the Rest of Your Life."
Here's an edited transcript of that conversation.
Q: When is it time to move to a retirement home?
Prosch: The time to consider moving to a retirement home is when you obviously are no longer able to handle your day-to-day activities, but it's important to think about more than just yourself. This really needs to be a family discussion. As you consider the retirement home decision, you should also look at your alternatives such as living at home with in-home care, living with your kids, living with some friends, and then finalize your decision when you sit down to have the other talk.
Singletary: Seniors often take a stand that they "won't" do one thing or another when it comes to their living situation. But your decision can impact a lot of people, especially family who will be helping to take care of you.
Q: What are the pros and cons of living with your adult children as you get older?
Prosch: As I learned with my own family growing up with my great-grandparents in the same home, there are many benefits to sharing your lives together. But there are also responsibilities and potential for conflict. So I suggest before you make this move that you sit down and ask some very practical questions. How will the finances work? What are the guidelines for using different parts of the house? Who is responsible for food, for housekeeping? What responsibilities do the grandparents have for the kids? How do you and your spouse maintain a healthy marital relationship? There are many things to consider, but it can work and be a very fulfilling experience.
Q: How much should you let your adult children know about your investments and finances?
Prosch: The fact is your financial situation [may] end up in your kids' lap eventually, so it's incumbent upon you to sit down now and take them through your financial situation and discuss how you want to manage it from now until the end. I would even encourage you to introduce them now to your financial advisers so they know who to talk to when it's time for them to begin to take over that responsibility.
Singletary: Your adult kids don't have to be "involved" in investments or choosing what you invest in or how you save. But you should, as you get older, think about sharing what you have that can be used to take care of you should you need to pay for long-term care.
Q: While the importance of having "the other talk" is clear to me, what would you suggest are the most important specific "outcomes to achieve"? I would imagine, for example, that the first talk would just lay the foundation for having a series of different talks about specifics such as medical directives, long-term care, etc. Are we talking about having multiple talks with one's kids so as not to bite off too much in any one conversation, and if so, which topics come first and which ones come later?
Prosch: There is a lot to cover, and you don't want to overwhelm your kids initially. Begin to establish the partnership between your kids and yourself. I hear many aging parents tell me "I don't want to do this because I'm losing control." The point of the "other talk" concept is that you are not losing control; you're sharing control.
The talk is not a one-time event. It is something you should do every year because things change. Your health changes, your finances change, your kids' jobs change and your opinions expressed in that first talk may change. So it's important that you maintain the dialogue by sitting down annually and going through the talk."
Q: When should you start having the other talk with your adult children?
Prosch: I almost learned this the hard way when in the middle of writing "The Other Talk" my wife and I took a trip to Italy. Toward the end of our stay we ended up renting a sailboat. A boom slammed into me from the back, which is the last thing I remember. When I came to in the hospital I couldn't move, I couldn't speak, but I could think, and I thought, "My God, I'll never have the other talk with my daughter." My message to you is: Don't wait, have the other talk now.

Police patroling Concord High after threat, ammo found
February 06. 2013 9:42AM
CONCORD - Extra uniformed officers were at Concord High School Wednesday morning after two threatening incidents over the past week.
Lt. Timothy O'Malley said a threatening message directed at the staff was scrawled across a boys' bathroom wall on Jan. 29. The threat was serious, he said, and specified it would be carried out Wednesday, Feb. 6.
On Tuesday, a student reported seeing three bullets in a toilet bowl of another boys' restroom sometime between 1 and 3 p.m. He reported it to the school resource officer, but by the time they returned, the bullets were gone. Police don't know if someone flushed them down the toilet or removed them.
"I hope no one reached in and took them," said O'Malley. "You never know. Stranger things have happened."
They don't know who brought the ammunition to school or why, he said.
O'Malley said the police department had plans to increase police presence at the high school when the threatening message was discovered, details of which he declined to give citing the ongoing investigation. That presence was increased after the ammunition report was received.
He said the recent incident heightened concerns and school officials sent out a letter to parents about the situation.
O'Malley said extra police patrols were assigned to the school Tuesday and were there again Wednesday on school grounds.

Clarkson University Senior Army ROTC Cadets Score High
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/LDAC.jpg ]
Senior cadets of Clarkson University's Army ROTC Golden Knight Battalion came back to campus this fall having accomplished their last major challenge before becoming officers in the United States Army.
The leadership development and assessment course, commonly referred to as LDAC or Warrior Forge, is a 33 day camp, which the cadets attend at Ft Lewis, Wash., between their junior and senior year of college.
The camp is designed to test the students on all of the skills they have learned and acquired over the past three years in ROTC, serving as a measure of technical knowledge, physical fitness, and leadership.
The cadets' performance at LDAC directly impacts their ranking against every other ROTC student in the country. This ranking determines career field and duty assignment placement.
This year cadets from the Golden Knight Battalion performed well at camp. Four out of the 17 cadets sent to Fort Lewis receiving an overall excellent or "E" rating were Clarkson students Michael J. Ives of Ogdensburg, N.Y., Michael G. Frisone of Rexford, N.Y., SUNY Canton student Christopher Hamberger of Potsdam, N.Y., and SUNY Potsdam student James Sanders of Kingwood, Texas. This was an improvement over last year's performance.
Receiving an "E" means the cadet received high ratings on their leadership evaluations, received a high score on his or her physical fitness test and scored well on a written exam given to all the students.
Additionally, Ives and SUNY Potsdam's David Tiedeman of West Granville, N.Y., qualified for the coveted RECONDO award, which is earned by cadets who achieve a score of 90 percent or higher on every graded event. To receive this award, the cadet is both physically fit and exceeds the standard at every task, always passing it on the first try. This is a difficult award to win since the student is constantly tested and observed for 33 days. There is no room for error and the student must remain focused and motivated the entire time.
The cadets of the Golden Knight Battalion also scored significantly better on their individual fitness tests. Frisone, Ives and Tiedeman achieved a maximum score. Last year only one cadet was able to achieve this feat.
Also attending LDAC this year were Clarkson Cadets Jason W. Burgess of Wolcott, N.Y., Amanda J. Crosley of South Colton, N.Y., Adam R. Martin of Cohoes, N.Y., Jeremy A. Paro of Richmond, Vt., Robert E. Walsh of Rochester, N.Y., Lewis E. Lizotte of Sutton, Vt., and Michael F. Herman of Saratoga Springs, N.Y. SUNY Potsdam students Derrick Hairston of Watertown, N.Y. and Jason Salte of Stroudsburg, Pa., and St. Lawrence University student Erin Cook of Hogansburg, N.Y., also completed the camp.
The students of the Golden Knight Battalion have consistently set high goals and achieved success at LDAC. The rigorous training, done primarily during their junior year, planned by the senior class and overseen by the cadre, has ensured that the Golden Knight Battalion continues to perform well at camp. The current junior class has begun to prepare for next year's camp and expects to continue the tradition of excellence.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in six alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

Sequels lead remakes, franchises in dominating summer cinema
There's a lot of No. 2 coming to local movie screens this summer.
"Despicable Me 2." "Grown-Ups 2." "RED 2," "Smurfs 2," "2 Guns" and so on.
Technically speaking, "Star Trek Into Darkness" qualifies as a "Star Trek 2" in J.J. Abrams' rebooted science-fiction franchise. (The title was already taken by "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.")
Even the upcoming sequel "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters" could have been shortened to "Percy Jackson 2." The same goes for "300: Rise of an Empire." But perhaps "300 2" would have been 2 confusing.
The annual avalanche of sequels, remakes, reboots and franchise fodder proves once again that Hollywood plays it safe in the summer by counting on the tried and true.
We're already up to "The Hangover 3" and "Fast and Furious 6." Plus, we have another Superman origin movie titled "Man of Steel," filmed in part in the suburbs. (Are we going to get reboots of Superman and Spider-Man every two to three years or what?)
Yet, we have a few bright spots of ingenuity and creativity on the summer docket. We can look forward to more than a dozen documentaries, along with some intelligent-sounding works of science fiction.
So here comes the 33rd annual Daily Herald Guide to the Summer Movies, a listing of every film confirmed to open in the area as of this writing. (Studio executives change release dates the way politicians change positions. So keep reading Time out! for updates.)
When you're done with this, the only question you'll need to answer will be obvious: When you go to a movie, will it be 2-D? Or not 2-D?

July 5

Premiered at last month's Chicago Critics Film Festival.
Aug. 16
"Kick-Ass 2" -- Chloë Grace Moretz returns as firecracker crime-fighter Hit-Girl with Aaron Johnson as the costumed hero. Nicolas Cage also makes a remarkable comeback (killed in the first movie, so he might be a flashback). Jim Carrey stars as Colonel Stars and Stripes.

About Currey and Company: Currey & Company, known today for its vibrant collection of lighting products, started its existence in 1988 as a purveyor of historic garden furnishings. When Robert B. Currey founded Garden Source Furnishings, the main focus of the company was the creation and marketing of classic garden furniture from the Winterthur Museum and the Smithsonian Institution.
These collections were joined by a very American collection of garden whimsies, birdhouses and rustic twig furniture. Some lighting products were among these first offerings and by the early 1990's the lighting category had become very important. Accordingly, the name of the company was changed to Currey & Company to embrace a new focus on products for the interior.
Chandeliers and wall sconces today form a significant part of the company's business and these goods are characterized by the attention and detailing that goes into their manufacturing and finishing. With a workforce in Atlanta and Currey International in the Philippines, Currey & Company brings to the marketplace merchandise that not only speaks of the touch of the human hand, but also utilizes a myriad of natural materials.
Hand forged iron products have long been the specialty of the company, but the range of materials has been extended to include a variety of materials such as hand-carved wood, porcelain and brass. "Currey International" has made it possible for the company to develop and produce a variety of unique hand made products and materials. One of these is concrete hand formed to create fashionable furnishings of "faux bois." Seashells and other natural materials also figure strongly in the Currey & Company product line.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – This Sunday, the Yale gymnastics team will travel to College Park, Md., to compete in a tri-meet against Central Michigan and Maryland. The Bulldogs have been on a roll lately, having scored more than 190 points in each of their last four meets, and will look to continue their progress as they move closer to the ECAC championships.
In last weekend's meet against Brown, New Hampshire and Towson, Yale finished fourth, scoring 190.925. Senior Tara Feld and sophomore Joyce Li both provided outstanding performances for the Bulldogs, with Feld finishing fifth on vault with a 9.775 and Li finishing fifth on the bars with a career-best 9.800. Feld and Li tied for fourth in the all-around competition, each totaling 38.125 points. Senior Lindsay Andsager and sophomore Morgan Traina tied for sixth on the bars, right behind Li, scoring matching 9.775s.
Sunday's meet will be a chance for the Bulldogs to test themselves against some of the stiffest competition they will face this year. Maryland is ranked 24th in the country in the latest NCAA poll, having averaged 195.409 points in its meets this season. Though Yale is unfamiliar with this weekend's opponents, having not faced either Central Michigan or Maryland in the past few years, the team is excited to compete against some of the nation's best gymnasts.
Sunday's meet is scheduled to start at 5:00 P.M.

NEWCASTLE, England, May 7 (UPI) -- A British retail chain says it has removed gender-specific displays of "boys" and "girls" toys from its stores after a protest broke out on Facebook.
Sean Gray, a customer at a Newcastle store of the Boots drug store chain who noticed two shelf units of toys separately labeled "Boys' toys" and "Girls' toys," snapped a picture and posted it on his Facebook page and also on official Boots webpages, ZDNet reported Tuesday.
Comments complaining about the gender stereotypes were soon appearing on the various pages and on Twitter, finally eliciting a response from Boots after two days.
"Thank you to all our customers who have taken the time to share their thoughts with us on the signs we use in the toys and games area of our stores," the company said on its Facebook page.
"It was never our intention to stereotype certain toys. It's clear we have got this signage wrong, and we're taking immediate steps to remove it from store. Customer feedback is really important to us so thanks once again for your ongoing passion and support."

Fr. Pavone Calls on Clergy to Pray for Former Abortionists
Fr. Frank Pavone
National Director of Priests for Life
Priests for Life-Staten Island, NY
New York, NY -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, issued the following statement today:
"This weekend, in a private retreat, former abortion clinic workers will seek spiritual and psychological healing. Along with several colleagues, I will again be privileged to minister to these individuals, who once made their living by killing children but who now have repented and seek forgiveness.
"I ask my brother priests, and clergy of all denominations, to pray to Christ the Healer in these days, that those who come to seek this healing will have the courage to undertake the arduous task ahead of them. We will assist them to face up with complete honesty to the evil they have done, and at the same time to more deeply perceive the full weight of God's mercy. These individuals will be asked to remember the number of lives they have taken, and to begin to re-humanize each of these children, claiming responsibility for them, apologizing for each one of them, and commending them to the Lord. They will also pray for the mothers, fathers, and families who have been damaged by the abortion that they provided.
"Many years ago, Dr. Philip Ney developed the Society of Centurions for former abortionists and their staff who repent of killing the innocent, just as did the Roman Centurion at Jesus' crucifixion. At various times and in various locations around the world, Dr. Ney conducts Centurion gatherings, leading men and women through an intensive process of healing. The work I will do this weekend is based on the insights and research Dr. Ney provides. We look forward to preparing many men and women to take advantage of the powerful encounter that these meetings with Dr. Ney provide.
"As he has pointed out, the better we can understand why a person becomes an abortionist, and then how a person comes to leave that dark industry, the better we can understand how our whole society has gotten enmeshed in the culture of abortion, and how it can again become free.

Maine House Republicans, now back minority status, to choose floor leaders
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) � Now back to minority status after two years in charge, the Maine House Republicans choosing their floor leaders for the new two-year session.
Three candidates have lined up for the minority leader's post. They include Rep. Robert Nutting of Oakland, who was House speaker for the last two years, and Reps. Paul Davis of Sangerville and Ken Fredette of Newport.
Three Republicans are in the race for assistant floor leader: Reps. Deborah Sanderson of Chelsea, Alex Willette of Mapleton, and Jeff Timberlake of Turner.
Democrats elected their House and Senate leaders Tuesday, prompting state Republican Chairman Charlie Webster to chide the majority party for not including a single woman on its legislative leadership team.
Democrats nominated Rep. Mark Eves of North Berwick to be speaker for the 2013-14 session.

NH Supreme Court rules: Calling man 'dirty ex-cop' won't get him a new trialBy PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 14. 2013 1:00PM
CONCORD - A man the prosecutor called a "dirty ex-cop" in his closing argument will be spending time in prison - two to four years to be exact - after the state Supreme Court Tuesday upheld his perjury convictions.
Brendan Bisbee, a former 10-year veteran of the Barre, Mass., Police Department, was convicted of five counts of perjury in October 2011 in Rockingham County Superior Court.
He is the former boyfriend of Kristin Ruggiero of East Kingston, who framed her husband, Jeffrey Ruggiero, in a series of faked text messages resulting in his conviction and imprisonment on misdemeanor offenses, jeopardizing his U.S. Coast Guard career. Once police realized what happened, Ruggiero's record was annulled and his former wife was tried, convicted and sentenced to seven to 14 years in prison. She later committed suicide at the New Hampshire State Prison for Woman after the Supreme Court rejected her appeal.
On Tuesday, the high court rejected Bisbee's appeal in which he argued assistant Rockingham County Attorney Jerome Blanchard improperly injected his personal opinion in his closing argument when he twice referred to Bisbee as a "dirty cop" and called him a "mope."
"I think that's what the evidence showed," said Blanchard. "I'm very happy they upheld the appeal and I'm very happy for Jeff Ruggiero."
Bisbee contended the epithet "dirty cop" suggested to the jury that he "has negative characteristics beyond those associated with his commission of the alleged perjuries;" that it created a risk the jury "would convict on an improper basis," and improperly communicated his "personal opinion that the defendant was a 'dirty cop.'"
The court noted Bisbee made no argument about why the prosecutor's use of the term "mope" was improper or prejudicial, so they did not address it.
In his closing argument, Blanchard asked the jury to compare Bisbee's testimony to another officer's testimony: "When you go in the deliberation room you decide who's lying to you, (the defendant) or (East Kingston Police) Officer (Mark) Iannuccillo. There is a dirty cop in this case. He's right there. And it's too bad that we even have to refer to him as an ex-cop. It's a damn shame."
Blanchard also told the jury, "Their lies didn't work before, ladies and gentlemen, they're not working today. Use your common sense, look at the transcripts. The State asks that you find (the defendant) guilty of all the charges, because he is guilty. As he sits there today right over there, the dirty ex-cop, the State asked that you tell him that."
The court, in upholding Bisbee's convictions, said the prosecutor's "dirty cop" references were not improper and he was not expressing his personal opinion. The prosecutor asked the jury to compare Bisbee's alleged perjurious testimony to that of a police officer, the court said. In asking the jury to tell Bisbee he was a "dirty ex-cop," the prosecutor directed the jury to use its common sense and to look at the transcriptions, that is, to examine the evidence, according to the decision.
Bisbee was accused of committing perjury when he testified in March 2009 before a Rockingham County grand jury and on April 27, 2010, at Ruggiero's trial. The indictments alleged he perjured himself when he said Ruggiero had never been to Tennessee; he could not remember if he picked her up at the Oakland, Calif., Airport on March 20, 2008; a police officer did not come to 13 Pinewood Road on the evening of May 4, 2008; and Ruggiero had not used his cellphone to call an Epping number.

It's looking like a promising 2014 for eight businessmen who are soon to launch Berkhamsted's first brewery in 100 years.
They picked up the keys to their new River Park Industrial Estate plant just before Christmas.
They hope to have it all kitted out by March, so that the first beers can come off the production line in time for Easter.
Property surveyor Nick Heath is one of the eight founders of Berkhamsted Brewing Company and helped it nab a five-year lease on its new premises.
He said: "We are absolutely excited and have all got a passion for the product and we are all experienced in business.
"We are all 50-ish and have worked for many years in a number of related fields. We all feel confident and would not have taken the plunge otherwise.
"We feel it's good news for us and for the town."
The firm's new property, which is right in front of the Grand Union Canal, will become 'very well-known in Berkhamsted', Nick said. It is costing £30,000 a year to rent.
The company will trade under the name Haresfoot Brewery – and already has its own Twitter account and Facebook page under that name.
Nigel Oseland, another of the brewery's eight founders, has started his own blog about the business venture at haresfoot.blogspot.co.uk
Nigel used to run a home brewery in Watford, while fellow founder Martin Filippides is a former fermentation chemist who lectured in biotechnology.
The other founders are Scott Carter, Simon Spurling, George Harvey, Philip Wilton and Keith Holmes. They all run their own separate businesses and live in and around Berkhamsted.
Nigel said: "I have lived in the town for 25 years and basically treated it as a dormitory – somewhere I sleep rather than live – and I thought it was about time I put something back into the community."
He recently wrote on his blog that his research into the project has included having a half-pint with George at most of Berkhamsted's pubs. The pair quizzed the landlords on which beers sold the most.

The REG103 is a family of low-noise, low-dropout, linear
regulators with low ground pin current. Its new DMOS
topology provides significant improvement over previous
designs, including low-dropout voltage (only 115mV typ at
full load), and better transient performance. In addition, no
output capacitor is required for stability, unlike conventional
low-dropout regulators that are difficult to compensate and
require expensive low ESR capacitors greater than 1µF.
Typical ground pin current is only 1mA (at IOUT = 500mA)
and drops to 0.5µA in not enabled mode. Unlike regulators
with PNP pass devices, quiescent current remains relatively
constant over load variations and under dropout conditions.
The REG103 has very low output noise (typically 33µVrms
for VOUT = 3.3V with CNR = 0.01µF), making it ideal for use
in portable communications equipment. On-chip trimming
results in high output voltage accuracy. Accuracy is maintained
over temperature, line, and load variations. Key
parameters are tested over the specified temperature range
(40°C to +85°C).
The SO-8 version of the REG103 has an ERROR\ pin that
provides a power good flag, indicating the regulator is in
regulation. The REG103 is well protectedinternal circuitry
provides a current limit that protects the load from
damage. Thermal protection circuitry keeps the chip from
being damaged by excessive temperature. In addition to the
SO-8 package, the REG103 is also available in the DDPAK
and the SOT223-5.

In the bad old days, New York City once averaged six murders every 24 hours.
But those bloody times are long gone. The latest evidence? Police say that as of Saturday morning, the city had gone 10 days without a reported homicide.
Lulls in killings do happen in the city.
The New York Times reports that the city went eight days without a murder after Sandy. There were weeklong homicide-free stretches in 2009 and 2010.
This latest lull comes as a bitter cold has kept many New Yorkers inside.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly tells the Times "We're rooting for more cold weather.''
Police are investigating at least one unexplained death.
A woman's body was found on a Brooklyn street Friday, but the cause of death wasn't immediately clear.

SOMERSWORTH — The last time John Langlois coached a basketball game in the Somersworth High School gym in 2008, he was the head coach of the Somersworth boys varsity team.
Langlois was fired at the end of that season after 11 years.
Friday he was back for the first time in four and a half years as the Campbell boys coach and the return brought a smile to his face as the Cougars won a fierce and frenetic battle of Division III unbeatens, 54-47.
"I've had a lot of great experiences here," said Langlois, who coached the Hilltoppers to a Class M title in 2005. "I coached a lot of great players here at Somersworth. I was very excited about it. It's special to come back here and it's special to get the win."
Last year Langlois was a first-year coach in Bedford, where he guided the Bulldogs to the D-II final, losing to Portsmouth. He also coached Newmarket to a trio of Class M state titles in the 1980s.
Campbell (5-0) never trailed in this game. The Cougars jumped out to a 10-1 lead in the first quarter and led by as many as 15 (25-10) in the second quarter. They led 30-21 at the half.
"One of my coaches said it well," Somersworth coach Lorne Lucas said. "We reacted the whole time."
Playing from behind was bad enough for the Hilltoppers (4-1), but it got even tougher when star senior guard Drew Francoeur picked up his fourth foul before halftime.
A fourth foul that stunned coach Lucas.
"There was clearly a mistake with Drew," Lucas said. "They called a foul on Tyler (Kretschmar — No. 33) and they gave it to Drew. We found out at halftime that Drew Francoeur had four fouls. That was a difference for us, too. We thought he had three."
So Francoeur sat out the third quarter and played the fourth quarter, subbing out when their was a stoppage of play on defense.
Campbell led by nine after three quarters, 39-30, before Somersworth made its most significant push of the game. The 'Toppers cut the lead twice to five (41-36, 43-38), the last time at 5:24 on a Francoeur follow shot in the lane.
They could get not closer.
They had two possessions to do so, but each time did not get a shot off and turned the ball over.
"We just couldn't get over that hump," said Somersworth senior guard Josh Ream. "We were trying to put our full-court press on and everything to speed up the game and get the ball and switching our defensive players for offensive players. We just couldn't make it happen."
Campbell hit two free throws to make it 45-38 and after two missed freebies by the Hilltoppers, Campbell's Jacob Morgan scored an inside bucket to widen the gap to 47-38.
Somersworth called timeout, but missed a shot when they returned and Campbell guard Max Gouveia (17 points) made them pay with a driving hoop and a foul. He buried the freebie to make it a 12-point bulge, 50-38, with 1:30 to play, to complete a 7-0 run.
"That was a big two and one in the fourth period," Langlois added. "We also hit some pressure foul shots when we needed to."
The Cougars shot 15 for 27 from the stripe.
Somersworth would cut the lead to the final margin of seven, but the game was basically sewed up then and there on Gouveia's three-point play.
"We had to 'D' them up," Langlois added. "We played some great defense. I think that was a big factor. We held them pretty good in that first half."
Somersworth missed its first eight shots, finally hitting its first bucket with 46 seconds to go in the first quarter — a driving hoop Ream.
"They hit shots and we didn't, especially in the that first half," Lucas added.
Francoeur, despite battling foul trouble, led the Hilltoppers with 14 points. Darren Glore and Ream added eight points each.
In addition to Gouveia's 17, Campbell received 15 points from Nicholas Freson and Morgan added 11.
"We got in foul trouble and we had to put some new guys in and we needed them to step up," Ream said. "It was hard because we didn't have some of our starters out there."
Somersworth plays in the York (Maine) holiday tournament next Thursday against Waynflete, Maine, at 3 p.m.
Campbell, 54-47
CAMPBELL (54) — Gouveia 7-2-17, Freson 6-3-15, Morgan 3-5-11, Rodonis 1-1-3, Bergeron 2-3-7, DiBenedetto 0-0-0, Smarse 0-1-1, Duquette 0-0-0. Totals: 19-15-54.

Merrimack officials seek action to curb further water contamination
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
The Saint-Gobain plant in Merrimack, N.H. (File photo)
Saint-Gobain to fund design to bring water service to 61 Bedford homes
Merrimack wants Saint-Gobain Plastics to do voluntary air quality testing
Unofficial PFOA health survey results unveiled in Merrimack
MERRIMACK — As town officials await the results of blood testing conducted on more than 200 Merrimack Village District water customers, they are urging Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics and the Merrimack legislative delegation for further action to curb water contamination.
Last week, the Merrimack Town Council sent separate letters to Robert Scott, the commissioner for the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES), and to Merrimack's state representatives.
In its letter to Scott, local officials ask DES to recommend that Saint-Gobain conduct an air quality test of GenX, the chemical that replaced DuPont's C8, the likely cause of water contamination in Merrimack and nearby towns.
"It would be advantageous for Saint-Gobain to positively respond to this request since it would demonstrate good faith on their part to the Merrimack community," wrote Nancy Harrington, chairman of the Town Council.
Although DES does not have any regulatory requirements for this test, Harrington said the test is crucial to local citizens in assuring them that no additional contaminants are being emitted from the facility.
In a separate letter to state Sen. Gary Daniels, Harrington asks the Merrimack delegation to "look at establishing new legislation/regulations that would allow DES the ability to conduct air quality analysis for unregulated emerging contaminants like C6 and GenX.
"We strongly encourage the legislators look at any and all options to allow DES the ability to test the air emissions of companies," she added.
C8 was previously phased out and replaced with GenX, also known as C6, a chemical with six perfluorinated carbons and still considered a perfluorinated compound; the shorter-chained grease-proofing agent is found in some food packaging materials.
Earlier this summer, a bill designed to help regulate airborne contaminants ending up in New Hampshire drinking water did not move forward by legislators.
The amended bill, HB 463, would have required the state to consider tougher standards for acceptable limits of perfluorinated chemicals like perfluorooctanoic acid in drinking water, but it died when a House and Senate conference committee could not agree.
Harrington urged the legislation to reach out to town councilors to assist with the passing of new legislation that would help regulate airborne contaminants.
A public informational meeting has been planned for 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 10 at Mastricola Upper Elementary School, and officials from DES will be on hand. According to Harrington, representatives from Merrimack Village District and Saint-Gobain will be invited to the meeting. She is optimistic that a spokesman from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services will also be in attendance.
"It is critical that HHS be at that meeting," said Town Councilor Bill Boyd, who is hopeful that the blood test results from more than 200 Merrimack Village District customers will be released at that time.
When the blood testing program was launched, officials said a summary of the community's results will be shared with participants and with the public. These results will be compared to other tested populations, including the general U.S. population tested from the Centers for Disease Control's National Health and Examination Nutrition Survey, and to other communities tested in New Hampshire.
