Chelsea Lee looks like any other teenager but five minutes alone with her and you know, this kid is anything but average.
Chelsea Lee looks like any other teenager but five minutes alone with her and you know, this kid is anything but average. Every day, she leaves home at 6:30 a.m., often not returning again until 8 p.m., after a long day of school, swimming practice and music rehearsals.
Despite the pressure, she maintains a sunny disposition and a drive to meet her goals.
Earlier this year, Lee won the Dover Symphony's Youth Concerto Competition, sealing her a classical musician's dream: a solo with the DSO.
Here, she discusses her love of music and what her daily life is like.
First, a few facts about Lee...
AGE 15PARENTS Dr. Harvey and Mrs. Dorothy LeeSIBLINGS Emily, 14, and Jonathan, 11SCHOOL Sussex Tech High SchoolHOMETOWN Milford
Q You play piano, violin and flute. What's your favorite?
A My favorite instrument is the violin. I enjoy playing the violin more than piano and flute because the violin is more technical. I can be more expressive since I could control the tone and the volume with the amount of bow and the use of vibrato.
Q Which one is the most difficult?
A Violin is also the hardest instrument to play. Since the violin is more musical and technical, it requires more practice.
Q You study privately with DSO soloist Stefan Xhori. What's that like?
A I was intimidated at first because he seemed strict and serious. I am more comfortable with him now but I still have to live up to his expectations. I have to practice on a regular basis. The most valuable advice he gave me was to always start practice with at least ten minutes of scales and finger exercises because it's the actual foundation in playing a difficult song.
Q Does your musical interests leave much time for anything else?
A Yes, I am on the swim team. It's a lot of work and hard dedication but in the end, it makes me a stronger swimmer and more disciplined. In addition, I am in the Jefferson Student Leadership team and I play the flute in my high school marching band.
Q So, what do you do for fun or to unwind?
A I don't really watch that much TV or movies but I do watch anime shows on my computer. In my extra time I like to go on the computer and play apps on my iPad.
Q What's your favorite piece of classical music and what's your favorite popular music?
A My favorite classical piece is Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor, op. 64. I listen to all types of different music but I do love listening to Fighter by Christina Aguilera.
Q Have you started thinking about what you'd like to study in college or where you'd like to go?
A I would really like to pursue a career in medicine and music. I would like to attend an Ivy League college.
Q Well, what's one thing that nobody knows or understands about you that you wish they did?
A One thing no one understands about me is that I am stronger than I look. At a first glance, I seem a little timid and quiet but I do have a lot to say and I am confident.
Q Who's your hero?
A My heroes are my parents. They have the best intentions for me and provide the best resources so that I may learn and develop life skills. They always keep me focused.
Q What's the best or worst advice you've ever received?
A The best advice I got was to live life to the fullest in the way that is best for you.
Q You have a solo with the Dover Symphony coming up this weekend? Are you nervous?
A I am nervous to play my solo, especially with so many people who are going to watch me play. But all in all I think that I will play my best and deliver an excellent song to the audience.
Q Anything else your soon-to-be adoring public should know?
A I would like to say that music opens up the soul to a new world where expression and noise come together to form something that is indescribable. I think that without music, the world would be so much more gloomy and dull. Music has really helped to develop my career over the years and provide the activity that I enjoy doing everyday.
Chelsea's solo is Sunday afternoon at the Dover Symphony Orchestra's "Ringing in the Holiday Season" concert event. Tickets are $15 to $20 and can be purchased by visiting here. The concert will be held at Dover Downs Hotel and Casino, located at 1131 N. Dupont Highway.

Huskers Sweep Field at UCM Invitational
The Nebraska bowling team won its third tournament of the 2012-13 season Sunday, as the Huskers went 12-0 in competition at the Central Missouri Women's Collegiate Invitational held in North Kansas City, Mo.
The Huskers used a strong team effort in beating Arkansas State 4-0 today to take the tournament title. Head Coach Bill Straub was extremely impressed with the teams overall consistency not only today, but throughout the entire weekend.
"I am extremely impressed with how the team performed this weekend," Straub said, "We had two members make the all-tournament team and four in the top 13. It was just a whole lot of consistency."
Sophomore Liz Kuhlkin added to her already impressive 2012-13 campaign by winning the individual tournament title. Kuhlkin averaged a staggering 238 average throughout the weekend.
"Liz's performance throughout the year has been the most pleasant thing to watch this year." Straub said, "She thrives under pressure, she does her best when it comes down to the wire. Liz has been tremendous."
Also making the all-tournament team was senior Kristi Mickelson. Mickelson recorded an average of 218, placing her fourth overall in the individual standings. Mickelson bowled a high score of 267.
Other individual performances to note were Sophomores Elise Bolton and Andrea Ruiz. Bolton posted a 208.8 average placing her eighth overall in individual standings while Ruiz averaged 202.6 throughout the weekend, placing her 13th.
The Huskers started off Sunday's competition beating No. 4 Vanderbilt 4-2 and then went on to the tournament championship against No. 3 Arkansas State. NU swept the Red Wolves 4-0 (202-195, 265-245, 223-216, 206-204) taking the tournament title.
Nebraska will travel to the Music City Classic March 15-17 in Nashville, Tenn. The tournament will be hosted by Vanderbilt, and will feature a talented field of 28 teams, including 18 of the top 20 squads in the nation.

Is NH prepared? It could happen hereEDITORIAL
April 21. 2013 1:16AM
New Hampshire is so peaceful a place, with so little crime and so few worries, that it is easy to assume we are far removed from the stunning violence perpetrated by terrorists and mass killers. We are not, though. We are very close, and it is not at all inconceivable that some horrible attack could happen here.
Our proximity to Boston is one of the reasons for our vulnerability. New Hampshire is well experienced in the unwanted importation of violence from Boston and other Massachusetts cities. From petty criminals to mobsters and drug dealers, we have felt the sting. Terrorism could be the next export.
Boston has found itself a waypoint, at the very least, for terrorists. The 9/11 hijackers spent four days in greater Boston before that fateful morning. Two of them drove to Portland, Maine, for a connecting flight, apparently to avoid the suspicion that would come from all of them boarding together at Logan.
The Boston Marathon bombing suspects grew up in Boston, according to law enforcement officials. The marathon made a spectacular target, but had they wanted to sow fear in suburban or rurual America, it easily could have been a New Hampshire event.
If terrorism seems a stretch, there is a more likely threat: The deranged killer. New Hampshire has experience with this. There was Carl Drega in 1997, the Dartmouth College murders in 2001, the Kimberly Cates murder in 2010, to name a few. None of these was a Newtown, but the Newtown killer's family moved to Connecticut from New Hampshire. It could have happened here.
All of this raises some important questions for Granite Staters. How well-prepared are your local police and fire departments? How well-prepared is the state? For that matter, how well-prepared are you? As the Marathon bombings showed, bystanders often are the very first responders. They give first aid while the police, firefighters and medics are en route. They also witness suspicious activities, like men setting down backpacks and walking away, that might have very different outcomes depending on how aware bystanders are of what goes on around them.
Granite Staters have been touched by terrorism and mass killings. We just haven't experienced anything of the scale of Newtown or the Boston Marathon bombing within our borders. We could knock on wood and hope we never do. Or we could see that we are prepared. The latter seems to us a much better option.

Lady friend
Tom Brady is married to a supermodel. Peyton Manning is married to a … a … who knows. His bio says he's married, but I'm pretty sure no one has ever actually seen his rumored bride. Do we even know she exists? I bet if you asked Manning about her, he'd say that his wife is a really hot girl from Canada who he met at summer camp. And maybe she is. But, still, she's no supermodel. Advantage: Brady. Score: Manning 2, Brady 1.

On Thursday, Dec. 20 IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) announced that it had reached a definitive agreement to acquire NYSE Euronext in a stock-and-cash transaction. The announcement seemed anti-climactic given the high profile M&A dance a year prior between NYSE Euronext and Deutsche Börse (DB) and the attempt to scuttle it by a joint counteroffer by ICE and Nasdaq OMX.
The acquisition price, $31.12 per share(roughly $8.2 billion), was a considerable discount to what DB was offering a year earlier and the terms seemed less desirable to NYSE than the DB deal, which was presented as a merger of equals and included a larger role for NYSE boss Duncan Niederauer and more representation on the board of the combined entity from NYSE board members.
We asked ICE Chairman and CEO Jeff Sprecher to give us the skinny on the deal, what synergies are involved and how he will manage his expanding firm. Here is what he had to say.
Dan Collins: What are the largest benefits for ICE and it shareholders from the acquisition of NYSE Euronext?
Jeff Sprecher: ICE has a strong track record of successfully integrating businesses. Since acquiring the International Petroleum Exchange in 2001, ICE Futures Europe volumes have set new records every year. Volumes at the former New York Board of Trade have doubled since we acquired it in 2007. Based on the complementary asset classes, the combined company will be a leading operator of regulated, global markets with strong cash flows and deep resources to pursue growth opportunities. We have identified significant synergies and expect the transaction to be highly accretive for shareholders in the first year after closing, and importantly remain a growth leader in our sector.
DC: Your joint offer along with Nasdaq for NYSE was struck down by regulators as was the NYSE/DB merger. Do you anticipate any antitrust issues? If the Liffe commodities business is seen as a potential antitrust stumbling block, could that be split off?
JS: We can't speculate on regulatory matters, but we are working diligently to secure all required regulatory approvals and provide all required information in a timely manner. Our businesses serve different markets, different geographies and different clients, and this is something we looked at prior to completing our agreement.
DC: How will this deal change the landscape of the futures industry? The securities industry?
JS: In many ways, this combination is consistent with the way markets have evolved, particularly in a world of increased regulation, transparency and global competition. We believe the combined company will benefit the broader market through increased resources, continued innovation and a focus on solving market structure challenges to support growth for our customers. And as the regulatory landscape continues to change, the combined company will be in a strong position to offer compliance solutions for customers coping with an evolving mix of global regulations.

Any good alternatives - alternatives with Windows Phone and Metro applications, that is?

The benchmark S&P 500 is now only 3.1% below its record high reached in October 2007. Stocks are further getting a big boost today from two key pieces of data: A narrowing U.S. trade deficit combined with very positive earnings from social business networking kingpin, LinkedIn. LinkedIn shares jumped 18.45% this morning on above consensus revenue and earnings. The MAR13 E-mini S&P 500 futures are trading up to new 2013 highs today at +8pts, or +.55%. We continue to hold our belief that the market's rally is not over by any means, and our next upside target is 1530.
Many analysts are now saying the market is fairly valued, but we think differently, we think like traders, not analysts. We believe in following a trend, regardless of what the market is "supposed" to be doing. Therefore we believe the S&P 500 will continue to rally.
A huge story in the commodities markets is in the energy markets, mainly Heating Oil. Due to the Nor'Easter storms, heating oil prices are exploded for multiple days in a row, and now are up another $.055 today, trading at $3.255 (MAR13 contract). Our first upside target for this market is $3.40. RBOB Gasoline prices are also continuing to show strength today, trading up $.055 at $3.05 (MAR13 contract). Crude oil is up $.62 at $96.45. We believe the next $5 move in crude oil will be down as the market seems to have ample supplies. As always, any type of geo-political events or increased tension could make crude oil rally quickly.
We focus more on the U.S. 30-year bond market today. We have been writing about our bearish views of this market, and we still hold those views. With the stock market rallying to new 2013 highs today, we believe a sharp move down in bond prices will occur soon. Our next major support level for the 30-year bond futures is at 135. This month, this market broke a significant trendline connecting previous tops. It is also trading well below our first key resistance level of 145. With a narrowing trade deficit, a more upbeat Euro region outlook, combined with solid nonfarm payrolls reports recently, we believe the 30-year will indeed approach 135.

New products introduced and changes made over the last week include additional data disclosure on Fidelity's money-market funds and the closure of Fidelity's Small Cap Discovery Fund to new investors; an advisor change made by Vanguard on its International Value Fund; the launch of Morningstar's U.S. Real Assets Index; the availability of the Hatteras Managed Futures Strategies Fund on Schwab's OneSource platform; the launch of a new business improvement platform for advisors by Zero Alpha Group; and a new ETF from Global X.
In addition, Oppenheimer Funds announced the launch of its Diversified Alternatives Fund; Russell Indexes and NYSE Euronext announced a global alliance; American Independence launched its new Dynamic Conservative Plus strategy and fund; The Guardian launched a new deferred income annuity; and ground was broken for the new Charles Schwab Trading and Technology Lab at UC Irvine.
Here are the latest developments of interest to advisors:
1) Fidelity to Disclose Daily Per-Share Market Value Price of Money-Market Funds
Fidelity Investments announced recently that it would begin daily disclosure of the per-share market value of money-market mutual funds that it manages, effective Jan. 16. The new daily disclosure does not affect the $1 stable net asset value (NAV) that continues to apply to all investor transactions in Fidelity money-market mutual funds or the way the funds are managed.
Beginning January 16, money market mutual funds Fidelity manages published their per-share market values the following business day on Fidelity's website. This information is already disclosed on a monthly basis as part of the SEC's rules. Fidelity money market mutual fund holdings remain available daily to shareholders, upon request.
2) Fidelity to Close Small Cap Discovery Fund
Fidelity Investments announced Wednesday that it is closing the Fidelity Small Cap Discovery Fund (FSCRX) to new accounts. Fidelity will open new accounts in FSCRX until 4 p.m. EST on Jan. 31. After that, investors generally will not be able to open new accounts in the fund. However, existing shareholders invested in the fund can continue to add to their accounts. Employer-sponsored retirement plans and certain discretionary programs offered by registered investment advisors may be able to open additional accounts for investors if the fund was established as an option as of Jan. 31.
FSCRX seeks long-term growth of capital by investing at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies with small market capitalizations (those with market capitalizations similar to companies in the Russell 2000 Index or the S&P Small Cap 600 Index). Chuck Myers has managed the fund since March 2006.
3) Vanguard Announces Advisory Change for International Value Fund
Vanguard recently announced modifications to the investment advisory structure of the $6.8 billion Vanguard International Value Fund (VTRIX). Hansberger Global Investors will no longer serve as an advisor under the new arrangement, and its portion of the fund (approximately 17%) will be reallocated to Lazard Asset Management and Edinburgh Partners Limited, which currently serve as advisors to the fund.
Under the new arrangement, Lazard will manage approximately 39% of the fund's assets, Edinburgh Partners 34%; and ARGA Investment Management, LP 24%. Cash investments will account for the remainder of the fund's assets. VTRIX invests in non-U.S. companies from developed and emerging international markets, focusing on stocks that its advisors view as temporarily undervalued. The fund has followed a multimanager approach since 2004.
4) Morningstar Launches Real Asset Index
Morningstar announced Thursday that it has launched the Morningstar U.S. Real Asset Index, a diversified portfolio of liquid assets that traditionally provide a hedge against inflation, including Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS), real estate investment trusts (REITs), and commodity stocks and futures.
The Morningstar U.S. Real Asset Index consists of liquid assets that can be accessed easily in public markets. The index holds approximately 40% TIPS, 30% commodities futures, 15% REITs and 15% commodity stocks, including both companies involved with resource extraction and master limited partnerships (MLPs) engaged in resource transportation and processing. Morningstar reconstitutes the index semiannually.
5) Hatteras Managed Futures Strategies Fund Available on Schwab OneSource
Hatteras Funds announced that the Hatteras Managed Futures Strategies Fund (HMFIX, HMFAX) is now available on the Charles Schwab Mutual Fund OneSource platform.
The fund launched on Sept. 27. The team has managed the strategy since September 2011 as one of the five strategies within Hatteras Alpha Hedged Strategies Fund (ALPHX, ALPIX).
6) Zero Alpha Group Launches New Business Improvement Platform for Advisors
The Zero Alpha Group (ZAG) recently announced the launch of a new advisor improvement platform called ZAG Leadership Institute (ZLI), designed to directly address current near- and long-term challenges financial advisors face in business.
The ZLI is a collaboration of firms investing in each other's next generation leaders via a training regimen overseen by Jerry Foster. With an emphasis on peer-to-peer interaction, the ZLI collectively provides a template for adoption of best practices.
7) Global X Funds Launches First Junior MLP ETF
Global X Funds launched the Global X Junior MLP ETF (MLPJ) on Tuesday. MLPJ is the first and only ETF to specifically target the small-cap segment of the MLP market.
The Global X Junior MLP ETF tracks exposure to the Solactive Junior MLP Index, which is designed to be a MLP benchmark index for small-cap energy and resource MLPs. As of January 11, the index consisted of 25 MLPs and the three largest components of the index were Suburban Propane Partners LP, Northern Tier Energy LP, and Alliance Resource Partners LP. The fund pays quarterly income distributions. Tax features of MLPJ include 1099 tax reporting (no K-1s) and qualified dividends. Like all MLP ETFs, MLPJ is IRA and 401(k) eligible. 8) RiverNorth Launches High Income Fund with Oaktree
RiverNorth Capital Management LLC announced Thursday that it has launched the RiverNorth/Oaktree High Income Fund (I shares: RNHIX, R shares: RNOTX), a new mutual fund focused on total return consisting of long-term capital appreciation and income. The fund is advised by RiverNorth and is designed to capitalize on market inefficiencies in both closed-end funds and the credit markets. Oaktree Capital Management L.P., a subsidiary of Oaktree Capital Group LLC comanages the fund as subadvisor to RiverNorth.
The fund provides daily liquidity and allocates its assets among three strategies: a closed-end fund strategy, managed by RiverNorth, and a senior loan strategy and a high-yield bond strategy, both managed by Oaktree. The fund's portfolio managers are Patrick Galley, chief investment officer, and Stephen O'Neill of RiverNorth, along with Sheldon Stone, principal, and Desmund Shirazi of Oaktree.
9) OppenheimerFunds Launches Oppenheimer Diversified Alternatives Fund
OppenheimerFunds announced recently that it has launched a new fund, The Oppenheimer Diversified Alternatives Fund (ODAAX).
The fund comprises energy MLPs, real estate, currencies, gold mining stocks, commodities and global multistrategy exposures, and is focused on nontraditional growth and income that addresses key needs of investors.
10) Russell Indexes and NYSE Euronext Announce Alliance, Agreement
Russell Indexes and NYSE Euronext announced Tuesday a global alliance that will span three distinct NYSE Euronext business lines and multiple geographies, as well as several facets of Russell's global index business. The agreement includes the transition of RussellTick, an index feed for realtime intraday values for the Russell family of indexes in the U.S. and globally, to NYSE Technologies' Global Index Feed (GIF) protocol and extensive global distribution. Approximately $3.9 trillion in assets are currently benchmarked to the Russell Indexes globally. The alliance also includes a commitment to develop additional joint global services and products, such as new index-based options.
The migration of RussellTick to NYSE Technologies' GIF protocol makes Russell the first major index family distributed through the global Secure Financial Transaction Infrastructure (SFTI) network. The RussellTick calculation engine is now hosted and managed from NYSE Euronext's U.S. Liquidity Center, home to its U.S. trading, co-location and market data infrastructure.

11) American Independence Launches Dynamic Conservative Plus Strategy
New York-based American Independence Financial Services LLC announced Wednesday that it is launching a new investment strategy, Dynamic Conservative Plus (DCP). The strategy will also be available through a mutual fund, to be run by manager Imanol Laresgoiti, and will make tactical investments in a set of ETFs across sub-asset classes in the fixed-income, commodity, equity and alternative asset markets. The Dynamic Conservative Plus Fund is available in class A (AABBX) and institutional (TBBIX) share classes, and the fund's investment objective is long -term capital appreciation. The DCP strategy is also available as a separately managed account (SMA) through various SMA and model platforms and sponsor programs.
DCP uses a proprietary business cycle model and optimization engine to allocate across a global portfolio of ETFs and manage downside risk. The fund is targeted at risk-conscious investors and intermediaries seeking to generate total return while addressing investors' demands for a portfolio that moves quickly to "safer," or defensive, sectors and away from riskier assets and markets.
12) The Guardian Launches Deferred Income Annuity
The Guardian Insurance & Annuity Company, Inc. (GIAC), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, recently announced the introduction of Guardian SecureFuture Income Annuity, a deferred income annuity product designed to provide a future stream of guaranteed lifetime annuity payments.
With a minimum initial premium payment of $5,000, owners of the annuity can begin receiving lifetime payments, backed by the claims-paying ability of GIAC, at a predetermined future date chosen by the annuity owner within the rules of the annuity. Annuity owners are able to make additional premium payments to increase their future lifetime income up until 13 months before the income start date and can benefit from a variety of annuity features to meet their current or future income needs.
13) Development of Charles Schwab Trading and Technology Lab Under Way
The University of California, Irvine broke ground Jan. 9 on the planned Charles Schwab Trading and Technology Lab, the cornerstone of a new 78,000-square-foot building to be located within the University's Paul Merage School of Business. Once completed, the planned lab will offer students the ability to receive training and educational tools in the areas of investment and wealth management in a tutorial environment, complete with demo data. It is designed to provide students with hands-on experience using the technology, as well as to teach about a wide range of advisor activities from business development and client service to investment management and back-office operations.
The building itself will include a new 300-seat auditorium, 70-seat and 90-seat case study classrooms, a multipurpose classroom, an executive conference room and 20 group study breakout rooms. The development of this hands-on learning environment is made possible by funds from The Charles Schwab Foundation to build the facility and a donation of technology each by Schwab Performance Technologies and Schwab Intelligent Technologies.

National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship Promotes
Entrepreneurship by Engaging Community Colleges to Join New Presidents for Entrepreneurship Forum
27, 2012-- The National Association for
Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE), the nation's leading
organization focused on promoting entrepreneurship through community colleges,
has announced that President Thom D. Chesney of Brookhaven College has joined
its new Presidents for Entrepreneurship Forum.
Through the program, presidents of community colleges throughout the country
commit to increase the focus on entrepreneurship at their institutions and the
impact these colleges have on the economic well being of the communities they
serve. Officials of six other Texas community colleges have also joined the new
forum.With the economy still lagging in many regions of the United
States, more than 180 community colleges throughout the country have joined the
entrepreneurship forum, and by doing so, have committed to playing a greater
role in stimulating economic development in the communities they serve."Becoming an entrepreneurial college goes far beyond
focusing more time and energy on fundraising and securing grants," Chesney
noted in a recent college forum. "It includes infusing the voices of our
communities and employers in our strategic planning and visioning and vice
versa. Together we can adapt to and address almost any challenge—from diminishing
resources to rising costs—if we have the right people at the table at the right
time."Other Texas community college presidents joining the forum
are: Beatriz Espinoza, Coastal Bend College, serving Alice, Beeville,
Kingsville, and Pleasanton; Zachary Hughes, Houston Community College–Northwest,
Houston; Michael Metke, Tyler Jr. College, Tyler; Paul Szuch, Lamar Institute
of Technology, Beaumont; Felix Zamora, Mountain View College, Dallas; and
Jennifer Wimbish, Cedar Valley College, Lancaster.About
the Presidents for Entrepreneurship Forum
The Presidents for
Entrepreneurship Forum is in response to the Obama Administration's Startup America Call to Action to
stimulate economic growth state by state by encouraging entrepreneurs to start
their own businesses. NACCE is a founding affiliate of the Startup America Partnership, an alliance of the country's most
innovative entrepreneurs, corporations, universities, foundations, and other
leaders.According to NACCE Executive Director, Heather Van Sickle,
the Presidents for Entrepreneurship Forum
is a way for community colleges to advance entrepreneurship and create jobs
across the country. Community college presidents who join the Forum make five
• Develop
transparency of community college and community assets
• Create
internal and external teams dedicated to entrepreneurship
• Increase
entrepreneurs' engagement in community colleges
• Engage in
industry cluster development
• Create
broad exposure to their college's commitment to entrepreneurship.
"The five commitments were developed based on NACCE's
observations of what was working best on member campuses," said Van Sickle.
"After observing the entrepreneurship-related activities of our members over a
period of years, we started to see commonalities among the more successful
institutions," she said. "One of the major things that clearly makes a
difference is the commitment by leadership to entrepreneurship."

LGC members off the hook for $17.1m repayment orderBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 02. 2013 10:54PM
CONCORD - Municipalities and school districts that participate in workers' compensation insurance provided by an arm of the New Hampshire Local Government Center will not be forced to collectively repay $17.1 million the program has been ordered to repay to towns and cities participating in a separate risk pool, according to a letter sent to members.
In August, the Secretary of State's Office ordered the Property and Liability Trust, an offshoot of LGC, to repay the money to towns and cities in the LGC's health insurance pool, which is known as HealthTrust. The LGC has appealed that order to the state Supreme Court.
Since its inception in 2000, the workers' compensation program has annually operated at a loss and had been subsidized by the health insurance pool, as well as contributions from Property and Liability Trust, which is the parent organization of the workers' compensation program.
The repayment is due Dec. 1. The organization's HealthTrust and Property and Liability Trust programs have also been ordered to repay a combined $36 million, but have sufficient cash reserves to make those payments. The workers' compensation program has no cash reserves.
A story in Tuesday's New Hampshire Union Leader cited state law and LGC member agreements that indicate that members of the workers' compensation program could be forced to raise the funds to repay the sum.
Dennis Pavlicek, the Newbury town administrator who serves as chairman of the Property and Liability Trust Board, said in a letter to members of the workers' compensation program that LGC will not charge the members.
"We continue to look at different options for repayment. This situation is a priority for us," Pavlicek wrote. "Also, we stand firm that any repayment is the responsibility of the Property-Liability Trust (PLT) and not the members themselves. We truly value your membership, and we are doing all we can to resolve these issues."
Pavlicek said Saturday that he hadn't received any calls from workers' compensation members and that the letter was sent "to address any concerns any of them may have had."
LGC officials have said the order could mean the collapse of the workers' compensation program, which covers about 25,000 employees. There were 220 communities, organizations and school districts enrolled in the workers' compensation program as of Feb. 27, according to a list provided by Wendy Parker, deputy director for risk pool operations.
Parker has cited another state law which says, in part, that participation in a risk pool, such as the workers' compensation program, "shall not subject any such political subdivision to any liability to any third party for the acts or omissions of the pooled risk management program."
"We haven't come up with any definitive solution yet," Pavlicek said. "We're still discussing it at the board level."
No matter what happens to the program, existing claims would be covered through a secure guaranty of about $11.4 million that is under the control of the Department of Labor. Parker said the guaranty, a security deposit held at Merrimack County Savings Bank, is backed by a claims reserve the workers' compensation program holds of $11.4 million in investment securities.

Patti King, 46, and Donna Doyle, 49, who are next door neighbors, will also be holding their first fund raiser to help support their efforts Jan. 26 at the Bob Evans in Middletown.
Two Middletown women will walk 60 miles around Philadelphia in October to help support Breast Cancer awareness in the Susan G. Komen three-day walk.
Patti King, 46, and Donna Doyle, 49, who are next door neighbors, will also be holding their first fund raiser to help support their efforts Jan. 26 at the Bob Evans in Middletown.
They decided to do the walk in memory of their loved ones.
"I have five sisters and two of them were diagnosed with breast cancer this past year and I knew I had to do this walk for them and for my mother-in-law who died from breast cancer," Doyle said.
King will also be walking in memory of her friend's sisters and mother, and also in memory of her husband's grandmother, Elsie Burnett.
"We kind of talked each other over the fence and decided to take the plunge and do the walk together," she said.
Their team name is I-rish for a Cure.
It will both of their first times doing the three-day walk, so they are sticking with the 24- week training program provided by Susan G. Komen, which begins in April.
In the meantime, they are walking as much as possible.
"I'm preparing by continuing to walk as much as possible during the week and on weekends with my husband and teammate," Doyle said.
Doyle has wanted to do the walk for years, and she said that this year it was just meant to be.
Each walker is required to raise a minimum of $2,300, but team I-rish for a Cure plans on exceeding that.
Doyle and King have set a goal of $5,000.
Donations can be made to the pages each of them has set up, or during one of their upcoming fundraisers.
They will also be selling shirts, bracelets and more to help reach their goal, King said.
Statistics show that about every 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and that it is the second leading cause of death in women.
"As a mom of three boys, with a husband that has a family history of cancer, I worry for them," Doyle said.
Every 74 seconds, someone dies from cancer, statistics also show.
"I have a 16 year old daughter and I don't want PINK to be the color to wear when she is older," King said. "We will find a cure before then!"

Progress being made on Pilot Grove grocery store
Pilot Grove's future grocery store is taking shape after construction was delayed because of rain. The floor was poured last week.
According to management committee member Laurie Beach, 23 investors are very excited to see progress in the 60x72 foot building located near the Pilot Grove Rural Health Clinic on College Street.
Wick Construction will begin construction next week on the main part of the building shortly after supplies arrived in mid-June.
The building will have a wood frame on a cement floor with metal exterior and interior walls.
Beach said colors for the exterior walls will be beige while the roof and wainscot will be burnished slate. She added that the interior walls will be painted an off-white.
As of right now, there has been no definitive opening date set.
The store operators will be Paula and Cody Tyler from Concordia.

Triglycerides are the chemical form in which most fat exists in food and in the body When triglyceride levels are high, it can be associated with coronary artery disease and stroke.
Causes may include:
- Excess triglyceride production in the body, usually related to genetics
- Excess ingestion of triglycerides from food sources
- Kidney problems
- Liver disease
Risk Factors
It is more common for older adults, especially men, to have high triglycerides. Facters that may increase your risk of high triglycerides include:
- A family history of hyperlipidemia
- A diet high in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol
- Postmenopause in women
- Lack of exercise
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Excess alcohol intake
- Certain conditions, including:
- Certain medications, such as birth control pills and isotretinoin, which is used to treat acne
High triglyceride levels usually do not cause symptoms. Very high levels of triglycerides can cause:
- Abdominal pain
- Nausea and vomiting—associated with acute pancreatitis
Elevated triglyceride levels can increase your risk of atherosclerosis . This is a dangerous hardening of the arteries. It can end up blocking blood flow. In some cases, this may result in:
- Angina
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Other serious complications
This condition is diagnosed with blood tests. These tests measure the levels of triglycerides in the blood. The National Cholesterol Education Program advises that you have your lipids checked at least once every 5 years, starting at age 20. Also, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends lipid screening for children at risk, such as those with a family history of hyperlipidemia or significant obesity starting between 2 to 8 years old. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute recommends routine screening at 9 to 11 years old and again at 17 to 12 years old.
Triglycerides may be part of a fasting lipid profile blood test including:
- Total cholesterol
- LDL (bad cholesterol)
- HDL (good cholesterol)
- Triglycerides
Your doctor may recommend more frequent or earlier testing if you have a:
- Family history of hyperlipidemia
- Risk factor or disease that may cause hyperlipidemia
- Complication that may result from hyperlipidemia
Treatment is not only aimed at correcting triglyceride levels, but also at lowering the overall risk for heart disease and stroke.
Diet Changes
Dietary changes can help to lower triglyceride levels. These may include:
- Eating a diet low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol
- Avoiding alcohol or drinking alcohol in moderation
- Eating more high-fiber foods
Lifestyle Changes
Lifestyle changes that can help lower triglyceride levels include:
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Talking to a doctor about ways to quit smoking
- Exercising regularly
- Treating and controlling other medical conditions
There are a number of drugs available, such as statins , to treat this condition and help lower the risk for heart disease. Statins have been shown to reduce death, heart attacks , and stroke in patients with high triglycerides. Talk to your doctor about whether these medications are right for you.
These medications are best used as additions to diet and exercise and should not replace healthy lifestyle changes.
To help reduce your chance of getting hyperlipidemia, take the following steps:
- Have cholesterol tests starting at age 20—or younger if you have risk factors.
- Eat a diet low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol.
- If you smoke, talk to your doctor about ways to quit.
- Drink alcohol in moderation—two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Exercise regularly. Talk with your doctor first.
- If you have diabetes , control your blood sugar.
- Talk to your doctor about medications you are taking. Some may have side effects that cause high triglyceride levels .

A Quick Tour of Bixby Memorial Library, one of Addison County's Architectural and Cultural Treasures
The stained glass dome is several stories high and frames the rotunda from above.
This view from the second floor balcony showcases the central rotunda. The sculpture is "The Young Trumpeter" by Margaret Foley.
Our Community Room contains multiple volumes as well as three public access computers. WiFi is available 24/7.
The Vermont Room is named for longtime librarian Lois Noonan. The collection ranges from very old to contemporary acquisitions.
The Joe Kerr Meeting Room on the second floor is available for community use.
The second floor Museum contains an eclectic collection of items ranging from Native American artifacts to model gunboats from Lake Champlain.
Constructed of yellow tapestry brick, with Indiana limestone columns and Vermont stone foundation, Bixby Memorial Library is designed in classic greek Revival style around the central rotunda, with a stained glass dome overhead and four sets of three hollow steel columns covered with scagliola (to resemble marble) at the four corners of the rotunda on the first floor. Entering the building through heavy oak double doors, one stands in the rotunda, the large reading and reference room to the left, the children's room straight ahead and the main desk, stacks, mezzanine and Lois Noonan Vermont Room to the right. A marble staircase rises on both sides above the front entrance, leading to the second floor rooms and inner balcony. Accessed by three pairs of double doors in the reference room, the west-facing porch overlooks Otter Creek and the Adirondacks.
While contents of the two first floor display cases are changed monthly, permanent exhibits upstairs include the Bilhuber Native American Collection, local projectile pts, and military artifacts from the American Revolution and Civil War. Nineteenth century portraits, including one of William Bixby, paintings by Vermont artists, etchings by Luigi Lucioni, local engravings and lithographs, and historic photographs are hung throughout the building. "The Young Trumpeter," sculpted by Margaret Foley. A collection of glass paperweights and a Cup plates are displayed to the right and left of the community room. The Bixby Memorial Free Library is listed on the National and State of Vermont Historic Register.

Juno Awards are a potential blaze of glory for Arcade Fire
Who will be the big winners at the Juno Awards from Winnipeg? Arcade Fire, Tegan and Sara, Drake and Hedley are among the nominees.
Sandra Sperounes
Will rocker Serena Ryder "stompa" her competition at this year's Junos?
Not only is she nominated in five categories — including single of the year (for What I Wouldn't Do) and album of the year (for Harmony) — she's one of three hosts of Sunday's telecast from Winnipeg's MTS Centre. Rapper Classified and country star Johnny Reid are the others.
Then again, Canada's biggest night in music could end up as a blaze of glory for Arcade Fire. The Montreal indie-rockers are up for six awards — including four of the same categories as Ryder. Other strong contenders and multiple nominees include crooner Michael Buble (five), rapper-singer-actor Drake (four), Celine Dion (four), rockers Hedley (four) and Calgary's Quin twins Tegan and Sara (four), who reinvented themselves as pop stars in 2013.
Let's just say this is one of the toughest Junos to call.
Awkward Fire?
With six nods, Arcade Fire is this year's front-runner — but Win Butler and his bandmates won't be at the Junos. They'll be in Santiago as part of Lollapalooza: Chile.
Which could lead to some awkwardness, since Arcade Fire is nominated in five of the six categories being awarded during Sunday's broadcast: single of the year (for Reflektor), album of the year (for Reflektor), group of the year, songwriter of the year and fan choice of the year.
(Beleaguered pop star Justin Bieber will likely win his fourth consecutive fan choice award.)
As for the Arcade-less category, breakthrough group of the year, Toronto indie-rockers July Talk could take it, thanks to their hit, Guns + Ammunition, featuring Leah Fay's coy pipes and Edmonton expat Peter Dreimanis's gruff rasps.
A Tribe Called Red, Born Ruffians, Courage My Love and Autumn Hill are also nominated.
Can't-Miss Performances
Hosts Serena Ryder and Classified will open the broadcast with a mash-up of her hit, What I Wouldn't Do, and his, Three Foot Tall. Tegan and Sara will sing Closer with a choir of fans from across North America, led by Toronto's singalong phenomenon, Choir! Choir! Choir!
An all-star band, featuring The Sheepdogs, rocker Matt Mays and rising country star Tim Hicks, will pay tribute to Winnipeg's Bachman-Turner Overdrive, this year's Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductees.
Oh, and Blurred Lines hitmaker Robin Thicke is also scheduled to perform.
Let's hope the American-born son of Canadian actor Alan Thicke won't make a fool of himself as he did when he appeared on the MTV Music Video Awards with twerker Miley Cyrus.
Stream Team
The majority of awards are traditionally handed out during a private gala on Saturday night. Not anymore.
This year, for the first time, the proceedings will be streamed via junoawards.ca, starting at 7 p.m. (ET).
The winners of 35 categories will be revealed — such as artist of the year and adult contemporary album of the year. The latter features three Davids versus two Goliaths. Edmonton's Chloe Albert, Kitchener's Alysha Brilla, and Montreal's Coral Egan are the underdogs; Celine Dion and Johnny Reid are the musical giants.
CBC's Jian Ghomeshi hosts the three-hour gala, which includes performances by July Talk, A Tribe Called Red and the Devin Cuddy Band.
By The Numbers:
80 — First-time nominees vying for awards this weekend
2005 — The last year the Junos were in Winnipeg
20 — The number of Junos won by Celine Dion between 1991 and 1999
0 — The number of Junos won by Celine Dion between 2000 and 2013
1971 — When the first Junos were awarded
2,700+ — The number of Junos handed out since 1971, according to Martin Melhuish's new book, Oh What A Feeling: The Next Generation.

TUSCALOOSA | City officials are preparing four variations of the City Walk recreational trail for public review.
But one question that remains to be answered is how much — if any — private property will be needed to complete the multi-use path.
TUSCALOOSA | City officials are preparing four variations of the City Walk recreational trail for public review.
But one question that remains to be answered is how much — if any — private property will be needed to complete the multi-use path.
"We're going to work as hard as we can to minimize that, and in many cases the required right-of-way will be used for landscaping," said Robin Edgeworth, director of recovery operations for the city of Tuscaloosa. "But we've also tried as hard as we can to stay as close to what the people said they wanted as outlined in the Generational Master Plan."
She's referring to the Tuscaloosa Forward Generational Master Plan, which was unanimously approved by the City Council on Feb. 28, 2012.
The Generational Master Plan was created as a blueprint for the ideas laid out in the Tuscaloosa Forward Strategic Rebuilding Plan, which was developed from months of planning and community involvement.
A key element of the plans was the City Walk, a meandering recreational trail that stretches the entire length of the 5.9-mile path of the tornado that tore through Tuscaloosa on April 27, 2011.
The path of the City Walk has shifted slightly over time, and now Edgeworth said the only areas where private property may be needed are those lots on the western sides of First and Lake avenues in the Forest Lake neighborhood.
In these areas, the Tuscaloosa Forward Generational Master Plan calls for a shared use path 52 feet to the west of the center line of the street.
Right now, the city has access to 37 feet of public right of way on First and Lake avenues, meaning an additional 15 feet may be needed.
The need for additional land came as news to at least one homeowner who potentially could be affected.
Many of the 16 houses along these two streets appear to be renter-occupied — if occupied at all — but Mamie Jones is sharing a house on First Avenue that is being purchased by her boyfriend, Jason Hebert.
Jones, 21, said that she had not been made aware of the city's potential plans for the wide, spacious yard in front of the house.
And she said the idea that some of it could be unavailable for use by her and Hebert's dog and 1-year-old daughter, Ellie, was cause for concern.
"Especially if it's going to affect our property," she said. "I don't like having to give up our yard."
Should the full 15 feet be taken, Ellie will still have room to run around and play.
But she fears that her dog, whom she described as "protective" around strangers, could become the source of complaints if his barking scares the trail's users.
Whether their yard will come into play remains to be seen, as Edgeworth said four variations of the trail are still being developed even as elements of the City Walk already are taking shape.
Perhaps the most visible component of the trail, as of now, is the part that will go on land adjacent to the Central Church of Christ at the intersection of First Avenue and Hargrove Road.
However, because money from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is being used for portions of the trail, city officials are required to develop multiple plans for the public to review and approve.
Once complete in an estimated six to eight weeks, the different plans will be displayed during scheduled public meetings designed for residents to offer their input.
Edgeworth said that each will remain faithful to the path approved in the Generational Master Plan, but each will contain subtle changes for residents to consider.
"These plans vary in scope, with some being very similar to the Tuscaloosa Forward Generational Plan and others that minimize the impact to private property," Edgeworth said. "As we move through this planning process, we encourage citizens to continue to provide us feedback.
"We look forward to holding these public meetings ... and encourage everyone to come and be a part of this important step of the recovery process."

Nokia has invested a lot in Ovi Maps. While it has lot of potential, it's not perfect. However, instead of trying to find an alternative product, why not give some suggestions on how it could be improved?
Please put only one idea per solution, this way each idea can be voted separately.
Ovi Maps improvement suggestions
Posted on 2009-11-08 11:22 UTC by Sascha Makela. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Location & Navigation.
Nokia has invested a lot in Ovi Maps. While it has lot of potential, it's not perfect. However, instead of trying to find an alternative product, why not give some suggestions on how it could be improved?
Solutions for this brainstorm
Solution #3: Ability to map roads
Posted on 2009-11-08 12:39 UTC by Sascha Makela.
Solution #4: Maps shall be possible to sync with Ovi web Maps
Posted on 2009-11-08 13:24 UTC by Andrei Emeltchenko.
I have my places in Ovi Maps server which I have synced with N95 Nokia Maps. There shall be implemented interface to sync them with N900 maps.
Solution #5: Ovi maps must compete with Google maps.
Posted on 2009-11-08 19:56 UTC by Davide Antonicelli.
If Nokia wants to break through the market with Maemo 5 and 6, they will have to compete with the GPS navigation capabilities of Android. In my opinion any solution much inferior to googles will not cut it, and will drive lots of non maemo fan customers straight into the arms of Android devices
At the very minimum Ovi needs Voice activation, turn by turn, and especially it has to be free/included with the device.
I love maemo and have purchased the N900, but I seriously found myself thinking about the Motorola droid, when I saw the GPS navigation function in action. Tap a button, and tell it where you want to go.
It ha to be seamless.
OVI needs that!
Solution #6: 3D Height Map
Posted on 2009-11-08 20:52 UTC by Sascha Makela.
Solution #7: be able to save landmarks and routes
Posted on 2009-11-08 21:43 UTC by Ian Monroe.
Before we worry about turn-by-turn and other such fancy stuff...
What about being able to save landmarks and routes? Its quite annoying to have to leave Ovi maps on or else I'll lose my route.
Solution #8: Add tighter integration inside other maemo software
Posted on 2009-11-08 22:37 UTC by Zaheer Merali.
Add heuristics inside every TextView or every widget that can display text such that it recognises what is an address or a place and have it such that clicking on what it thinks is a place or address shows it in ovi maps. Very useful when people sms/im/email you addresses or that you have typed an address casually in the calendar.
Solution #9: Add scripting capability
Posted on 2009-11-08 23:00 UTC by Stefanos Harhalakis.
Add the ability to do things with scripts (python, shell, javascript, or something else). This way the maps will be extended in different ways, both for commercial and fun uses. For example there could be a script that posts location somewhere and retrieves information for nearby "nodes", putting them on maps.
Solution #11: Off-line maps
Posted on 2009-11-20 08:25 UTC by Sascha Makela.
There should be the possibility to download maps into the device and then they could be used off-line. In S60 version of Ovi Maps this is already possible, but I understand that in Maemo version this is not. One should be able to use Ovi Maps without any data connection (due to availability or roaming costs).
Solution #13: Remember preferences
Posted on 2009-12-09 17:36 UTC by Rami Zalloum.
Maps needs to remember user preferences (satellite/map/terrain) and other variable options that are reset to defaults each time you start Maps
Solution #14: Ability to upload placemarks/landmarks
Posted on 2009-12-09 17:40 UTC by Rami Zalloum.
Maps needs to offer the option of uploading landmarks
and the ability to sync landmarks with other Nokia phones
Solution #15: Add Presence Detection and Managment
Posted on 2009-12-10 01:57 UTC by Craig Woodward.
Presence detection is a key item that can not only be updated by GPS, but used to provide faster startup and time to first lock. The OVI app should be able to look at other system items (active wifi SSIDs, last location, etc) and use these to pre-seed the GPS receiver if it's been off. Right now it's relying on A-GPS and/or an active data connection to do this. In fact, on my N900 if the GPS is off and I have no data connection, GPS often fails to get a lock before the OVI map app "gives up" and turns GPS off again. Meaning I MUST have a data connection setup to get a lock most times. Removing this need while providing a useful feature like presence would be great.
It could also dynamically update presence information. If I route to a destination it can say "Headed to ..." If I pull into my driveway, it should be able to set my presence to "Home". When it sees my work's wifi, it should set it to "Work". This could trigger IM plugins to update their presence (or not, via plugin setting), change the profile (to silent when near your common movie theater), and maybe even update your clock settings if you change time zones for those that travel a lot, or live and work in different zones.
Solution #16: faster refresh rate of current location
Posted on 2009-12-10 22:21 UTC by Rami Zalloum.
Maps needs to refresh the "red spot" location much faster, it takes now a very long time which is inferior to other products in the market.
Solution #17: Be able to track myself
Posted on 2009-12-14 11:46 UTC by Sergey Vlasov.
Currently this feature is only available when a route is set, if no route set then you have to pan, rotate and do everything by yourself.
Solution #18: Customizable "red spot"
Posted on 2009-12-14 11:57 UTC by Sergey Vlasov.
Sometimes it's difficult to spot it, especially when it's semitransparent and in perspective mode. Would be great to have other look options like cone or something.
Solution #19: Reduce initialization(priming) time
Posted on 2009-12-15 08:59 UTC by Rami Zalloum.
from the second you touch the Maps icon, it takes 20 seconds for the application to start, and another 10 for the location detection, I believe this time can and should be reduced
Solution #20: View POIs on Map when searching
Posted on 2009-12-22 21:06 UTC by Jonathon Suggs.
When you aren't familiar with an area, sometime it is nice to be able to view all of the POIs returned from a search with their relative location to you on the map.
Additionally, this could/should be combined with keyboard shortcuts to allow you to cycle through the list on the map.
Solution #21: Keyboard Shortcuts
Posted on 2009-12-22 21:23 UTC by Jonathon Suggs.
There are several keyboard shortcuts that could be implemented to help quickly access commenly used/needed features. Examples:
- Move to My Location
- Zoom In/Out (although the on-screen implementation is sufficient)
- Jump to "Search for Location"
Basically you should never have to move through several layers of menus to get to the commonly used functions and as the featureset grows the usable screen space will not be able to accomodate without being cluttered and/or unintuitive, so keyboard shortcuts are a simple and intuitive way to give quick access to those features.
Solution #22: Alternate/Additional POI Sources
Posted on 2009-12-23 17:12 UTC by Jonathon Suggs.
It could be useful to have the ability to add alternate/additional POI sources (example Google, Yahoo, User Defined, etc).
I could see two different methods for implementation.
1) Create a standard API for requests/responses and the UI just asks for a URI to direct requests to. So it is just a matter of entering the URI and when a search is performed, it queries all of the POI sources and compiles the results.
2) Have the ability to select a single POI source from a list of verified/tested sources. This could be similar to how the built-in web search feature works in most browsers.
Solution #23: No need for simultaneous FN key depression when entering numbers
Posted on 2010-01-23 06:30 UTC by Khameinei Ali.
Currently you have to hold the FN key while pressing the key to enter a number in the routing search. I propose that you make it just like every other text entry area in the N900 where you press the FN key THEN press the key to enter the number.
Solution #25: Ability to search POIs in offline mode.
Posted on 2010-01-26 21:34 UTC by Fadi Farah.
The ability to search for POIs offline (when having the maps downloaded onto the N900).
Very useful if you're on the road and there's no 3G and want to find the nearest gas-station, restaurant.. etc.
Solution #26: Ovi maps and contacts integration
Posted on 2010-02-07 17:22 UTC by Axel Cortez.
an option that you can set where is the address of your friends for example: Axel's house so when you are in Axel's house the location shows where you are, and if you want to go to someone place you go to contacts address and go to and the ovi maps take you there.
and not only for contacts, for example when you are at work you can set the location as WORK in ovi maps and the N900 can show as your actual location @ Work or @Cinema or show the POI name like @ Mc Donalds
Solution #27: Add map loader functionality in the application itself
Posted on 2010-02-12 20:56 UTC by Andy Pham.
Solution #28: Visual markers
Posted on 2010-02-16 18:05 UTC by Karl Stephenson-Möller.
Add the ability to place visual markers at arbitrary positions on the map. Would be useful for planning.
Solution #29: Drawing functionality
Posted on 2010-02-16 18:09 UTC by Karl Stephenson-Möller.
Add the ability to draw on the map. Would be useful for planning.
Solution #30: Display GPS data
Posted on 2010-02-16 18:41 UTC by Karl Stephenson-Möller.
Add display of latitude, longitude, altitude, speed and track.
Solution #31: Map Rotation
Posted on 2010-05-12 01:44 UTC by Dirk H.
Make the automatic rotation of the map (map north aligned with geographic north) optional.
Solution #32: Fake satellite zoom
Posted on 2010-05-27 15:10 UTC by Ndi Ndi.
N900 has a very fine screen, and OVI maps isn't attuned to that. In satellite mode, maps are more than capable of detail, but the detail is lost in the little pixels N900 has, especially when on the road.
As a result, when maps are unavailable at the last zoom level in Satellite view, N900 should fill in the blanks with the previuus zoom level, scaled up. The images the phone downloads can be zoomed in at twice, if not four times the original size and still get apparent detail to the naked eye.
Additionally, the N900 could display the next available zoom level up or down, scaled, until the requested zoom level is available for download.
Pixelated maps are better than no maps.
Solution #33: Ruler
Posted on 2010-08-13 05:33 UTC by G S.
Add a ruler tool to measure the distance between points.

Article – The Daily Gazette, Sterling Rock Falls, Ill. Wednesday July 21, 1976
Submitted by: Mrs. Emaline Denning, 807 Ave Rock Falls, Ill. 61071
The Worthington's were among the first early settlers before 1840. Mrs. E.B. Worthington taught the first school in Harrisbury[1] in a frame house. A lot was given for the location of school. The first pupils were William Kilgour with his sister Nancy Jane. Afterward Mrs. John Crawford, four of the Bush family and a nephew, a brother of Charlie Worthington who was our editor for many years Charlie married Fanny McCartney and lived in the old first ward many years. His father, one of the first settlers kied[2] in those very early days.
The E.B. Worthington's moved down from the upper town to broadway and as they thus lived outside of either town, Mr. Worthington was the postmaster.
Later, Mrs. Worthington's daughter Annie taught school.

Carpenter set for rehab start
By RICK HUMMEL
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
- Chris Carpenter has pitched in Springfield, Mo., before. In a previous life, when he was recovering from Tommy John elbow surgery in 2008, the Cardinals right-hander made a start there on the rehab trail in July, which led him as far as Chicago in early August until he suffered a shoulder injury that ended that season with the Cardinals after only four games.
On Monday, Carpenter will be back in Springfield to begin another rehabilitation procedure.
After throwing 56 pitches to three Cardinals batters Wednesday and generally impressing everyone who saw him - including his toughest critic, himself - the New Hampshire native and Trinity High of Manchester, N.H., graduate will begin what could be as long as a 30-day medical rehabilitation option when he starts for the Cardinals' Class AA club in a Texas League game against Arkansas.
Originally, Carpenter, trying once again to come back from a nerve issue that affected his right shoulder, was slated to begin the minor-league process of his rehabilitation at Jupiter, Fla., in the Gulf Cost League. But apparently he has shown enough that he can jump right to Springfield and perhaps give the Cardinals an idea of what he has before the July 31 trading deadline, when all contenders normally seek pitching help.
Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said of Carpenter's Wednesday session, "I thought he was very good. He proved everything he needed to prove. We're excited now to take the next step."
Matheny said Carpenter would be targeted to throw 60-some pitches in his first taste of competition since he lasted just four innings in Game 6 at San Francisco of the National League Championship Series last year.
Carpenter allowed that "my stuff was good. It's continuing to get better. The timing to make consistent, quality pitches down in the strike zone still has a little ways to go but ... I was expecting some quality work, and I got that."
Shane Robinson, Pete Kozma and Rob Johnson took swings in what amounted to three simulated innings.
Robinson, who had faced the right-hander once before this season in an aborted comeback bid, said Carpenter was "very impressive. After my first two at-bats, I had to turn it up a notch. If I'm in a game and I'm facing him three times, he probably would have won the battle today. He's just fine-tuning his stuff right now. When he's done, it's going to be fun to watch.
"I said last time he was like night and day from last year. Today, he was night and day from the last time I faced him. He was throwing four to five miles an hour faster, his ball was cutting more, and he was throwing a 12-6 hammer (curveball)."
Springfield and the Cardinals' Triple-A team, Memphis, both are at home July 20 and July 25, which would be other prospective dates for the 38-year-old Carpenter to start.
"There's definitely some excitement about starting the process to get back," said Carpenter, who also has been waylaid a couple of times this year by lower back issues.
But it isn't all about just Carpenter, who pretty much had determined this winter that he was through pitching before his arm began to rebound.
Carpenter said. "I've got to prove I can stay healthy and prove I'm good enough to take one of these guys' spots (in the rotation) because what I've done in the past doesn't mean I get an opportunity to kick someone out of here when we're doing so well."
But veteran Jake Westbrook, asked Wednesday if he had any doubt that Carpenter would come back to the majors, said, "No. Not after what I saw today."

One bad burn can lead to skin cancer. That means one mistake of not wearing enough UV protection can lead to a life-threatening illness.
I grew up next to a pretty big lake in Minnewaska, which meant that I spent a lot of time in the sun as a kid.
I never really gave much thought to protecting my skin until my brother, sister-in-law and girlfriend all went into healthcare for careers.
It was at that time that every moment I spent in the sun I was lectured about the importance of wearing sunscreen and keeping your skin protected, and although I didn't enjoy their methods, they were correct about the dangers of the sun.
One bad burn can lead to skin cancer. That means one mistake of not wearing enough UV protection can lead to a life-threatening illness.
I am among very few of my friends who take this advice to heart – that sunscreen is important to wear when you are outside every time and isn't just for the pasty white friends of the group. So I thought I'd make a list of why wearing sunscreen is awesome:
1) It is a great way to not get cancer.
2) Sunscreen has a fresh smell.
3) Applying sunscreen is a great excuse to get someone to rub your back.
4) Looking like a lobster isn't in style this summer.
5) Preventing sun-damage when you're younger is the number one way to prevent looking like your skin is made of leather when you're older.
Enjoy more summers by wearing sunscreen every time you are outside this summer.
