Note: An earlier version of this story gave the wrong information about the day of the meeting.
The Town Board voted Monday to ask state regulators to act on two measures, adding bamboo to the invasive species list and limiting the number of retail liquor store licenses within a given geographical area.
Both matters have been the subject of debate in Huntington and elsewhere on Long Island.
Councilwoman Susan A. Berland has been the leading council advocate for town regulation of invasive bamboo species. Numerous town residents have made sometimes-emotional pleas for some solution to the spread of the bamboo from other residents' properties.
The bamboo resolution, sponsored by Councilwoman Susan A. Berland, was approved unanimously and followed previous attempts by Berland and Supervisor Frank P. Petrone to amend the Town Code to regulate the planting of invasive bamboo species.
"If ever there were a plant that fits the definition of invasive, it is bamboo," Berland said. "I hope as the State puts together its list of invasive species covered by its new law, the type of evidence presented to this town Board will clearly make the case that bamboo should be included in the regulated category."
The resolution, which was approved 5-0, notes that a recent amendment to the State Environmental Conservation Law, effective Jan. 20, requires the State Council on Invasive Species to work with other state departments to develop and promulgate regulations dealing with all aspects of invasive species.
"The stories residents have told us about how invasive bamboo has hurt their quality of life have been heart-wrenching," Petrone said. "Whether it is through Town Code or state regulations, it is clear that action must be taken to protect residents."
The liquor store resolution, sponsored by Councilman Mark Cuthbertson, followed presentations to the Town Board by several area liquor store owners asking for the town to oppose the granting of a liquor license for a store proposed for 295 W. Jericho Tpke., Huntington Station. The liquor store owners noted that a significant number of stores already existed within a one-to-three mile radius from the proposed location.
The Town Board voted to ask the State Liquor Authority to conduct a public hearing into a license for that address. Petrone, Berland and Cuthbertson voted for the call for more state action, urging the governor and the State Legislature to limit the number of retail liquor store licenses that can be issued within a geographic area.
"State law has long recognized the need to regulate the sale of alcoholic beverages, and defining how many liquor stores in an area constitutes saturation is a logical extension of this regulatory function," Cuthbertson said. "The State Legislature needs to address this situation to help preserve residents' quality of life."
Petrone also announced that a special Town Board meeting will be held at 9 a.m. on Friday to present the 2013 town budget.

Othello is Shakespeare's remarkable domestic tragedy. Almost a chamber play, against the background of the tumult of Venetian trade wars, Othello follows five characters trapped inside the violent revenge fantasy of theater's most chilling psychopath. At the heart of his play, Shakespeare retells the Italian writer Cinthio's story of African Othello, the great general of Venice, driven mad with jealousy at the hands of his trusted officer, Iago. It is a uniquely powerful and moving experience as we watch the most improbable, and simultaneously hopeful, love story—of winter and spring, black and white—disintegrate before us in the hands of what Coleridge called "motiveless malignity."

Going Under the Knife
Surgery's hidden risk.
WebMD Feature
Aug. 4, 2000 -- Bad tickers ran in Joseph Calbreath's family, so at age 73 the retired Air Force pilot and hydraulics specialist opted for a stress test. One test led to another. His doctors told him he did indeed have a problem: a blockage in the coronary arteries supplying blood to his left ventricle, the main pump of his heart. They told him what he needed to fix it: heart bypass surgery.
But there's one thing they didn't tell him: Although his heart, if all went as planned, would work better after the operation, his brain might never work as well.
"He was never the same after that bypass," says his wife, Marian, of Novato, Calif. "For days afterward, he didn't even know where he was. Then, once we got home, I kept noticing strange things." Her husband would obsessively lock and relock doors. He forgot how to operate the controls of the RV. A few months after his operation, he was barreling over the Sierra Nevada mountains and suddenly downshifted into reverse, endangering them both.
Although surgical procedures like heart bypasses and hip replacements were once rare among the elderly, today they've become so commonplace that people over 65 make up more than a third of U.S. patients who go under the scalpel. Now a growing number of studies indicate that the older the patient and the more serious the surgery, the greater the risk that the person will leave the operating room with impaired concentration, memory, and other mental skills. While many have no choice but surgery to save their lives, the risk of mental impairment is significant enough that researchers say it should always be discussed with patients and their families. Unfortunately, too often doctors themselves are unaware of the risk or consider it too minor to mention.
"As we're operating on older and sicker patients, we've got to pay attention to the harm surgery might do to their quality of life," says Mark Newman, chief of cardiothoracic anesthesiology at Duke University and one of the field's key researchers. "Almost nothing is more devastating than losing mental abilities."
Elderly People Can Lose Their Edge
Studies now demonstrate that anywhere from 10% to 30% of elderly patients may suffer some cognitive decline after major surgery, although the severity varies widely. One cardiologist, for instance, discovered after his own heart bypass surgery that he was no longer able to match wits against a computer in chess games: He had lost the required ability to strategize three or four moves ahead. In rare cases, such as Calbreath's, the patient comes out of surgery so confused he can't lead a normal life.
Some Damage Is Permanent
While the damage often heals in a few weeks or months, it can linger for much longer. Using a battery of 10 tests, Newman and his colleagues at Duke assessed the mental performance of patients before coronary artery bypass graft surgery and at various times afterward. To their surprise, they discovered that of 313 patients, almost a third still showed cognitive deficits after five years.
Another of their studies on elderly bypass patients found that more than half had some diminished mental abilities when they were discharged from the hospital. That figure dropped to 24% after six months, but follow-up research indicates the decline persisted for years afterward.
Coronary bypass surgery -- now performed on about 650,000 U.S. patients a year -- seems to pose the greatest potential jeopardy to the brain. But other operations carry risk, too. Vascular surgery of any kind seems to heighten the likelihood of mental decline; so do abdominal and orthopedic surgeries.
One study of a thousand elderly patients undergoing abdominal and orthopedic surgical procedures found that three months later, 10% still experienced mental fuzziness that they didn't have before the operation. The study, headed by J. T. Moller, MD, at Copenhagen University Hospital, was published in the March 21, 1998, issue of Lancet.
Minor Surgery Doesn't Harm
Less invasive surgeries seem safer. "I wouldn't hesitate to tell patients to have those surgeries without fear," says Patricia Stockton, PhD, of Georgetown University Medical Center. Stockton studied mental decline in older patients undergoing cataract, prostate, and hernia surgeries. She found that only 1% experienced cognitive decline after the operations, according to her study, published in the winter 2000 issue of the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.
As more and more people live into their 80s and 90s -- often with the help of surgery -- researchers are starting to focus on two key questions: Exactly what is it about major surgery that triggers these brain malfunctions, and how can they be prevented?

Disney XD's "Crash & Bernstein," a "bro-comedy" that follows Wyatt Bernstein, the only son among four kids, whose new puppet, Crash, comes to life and becomes his loud-mouthed surrogate brother who knows no limits, premieres MONDAY, OCTOBER 8 (8:30 p.m., ET/PT).
In the premiere episode, "Crash Lands," Wyatt Bernstein is reluctantly taken to a Build-A-Bestie store for his birthday and, while there, creates a boy-filled version of a Bestie, a puppet he names Crash, who comes to life as the brother he always wanted. Crash finds Wyatt living in a household full of sisters, including popular 16-year-old Amanda, fashion-forward middle sister Cleo and assertive 6-year-old Jasmine, so he comes up with a plan to help Wyatt get his own room. But, Crash's plan soon backfires, jeopardizing the relationship with his new brother.
Starring are newcomer Cole Jensen as Wyatt, Emmy Award-nominated puppet master and filmmaker Tim Lagasse ("Johnny and the Sprites," "Between the Lions") as Crash, Oana Gregory ("Lab Rats") as Amanda, Landry Bender ("The Sitter") as Cleo and Aaron R. Landon ("New Girl") as Pesto. Recurring are Mary Birdsong ("Reno 911") as Mel and Mckenna Grace as Jasmine.
"Crash & Bernstein" was created by Eric Friedman ("Austin & Ally," "I'm In The Band") and is executive-produced by Friedman and Emmy Award nominee Mike Larsen ("Real Time with Bill Maher," "Rodney"). Jim Armogida and Steve Armogida ("Grounded for Life") serve as consulting producers. The puppet was designed and built by Chiodo Brothers Productions, Inc, based in Burbank, California.

Columbia County woman pleads guilty to role in "Operation Explosive Impact"
HARRISBURG - A Columbia County woman, who was arrested in November 2011 for her involvement in a methamphetamine manufacturing operation, pled guilty Friday, July 19, 2013, before Columbia County President Judge Thomas James.
Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane said the defendant, Christina Pearson, 33, last known address 186 Trailing Pine Road, Shickshinny, pled guilty to charges of corrupt organizations, criminal conspiracy to manufacture, deliver and possession with the intent to deliver a controlled substance and manufacture of a controlled substance.
Pearson was arrested as part of "Operation Explosive Impact," which dismantled nine separate organizations that operated and produced large quantities of methamphetamine for distribution throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. The investigation resulted in the dismantling of 16 clandestine methamphetamine labs located in Wilkes-Barre, White Have, Jonestown, Nescopeck Township, Edwardsville, Nanticoke, Hollenback Township and Beach Haven.
Pearson was a member of a one of those methamphetamine manufacturing operations working out of Columbia County, and continually purchased pseudoephedrine and other ingredients necessary to manufacture methamphetamine.
Six defendants who participated in the meth organization, with which Pearson was involved, have already been sentenced to state prison time.
A sentencing date has not yet been set for Pearson. Prosecutors will seek a mandatory minimum of three to six years in state prison.
The case was prosecuted by Deputy Attorney General Timothy Doherty of the Attorney General's Drug Strike Force.

Lithuanian NT in shock as starting PG injures at the very start of the game against Croatia. Now they're playing very hesitant ball and are down 12-25 after first quarter
Nice move by JV and 1 then hits a 12 ft jumper on the next play. Croatia is playing well but JV can change games now apparently.
Start of second half JV with 16pts on 5/6 shooting. Which is pretty ok. LT still down 10 to the new power house CROATIA
Lithuania has to keep going to Jonas. With no PG, their best bet is inside-out play.

Public parking lots in both the Downtown and Transportation Center are individually posted with various parking restrictions. Typically those restrictions are for 2-3 hours between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Several parking user groups; i.e. employees, customers, and rail passengers, including both Metrolink commuters and Amtrak riders, utilize the Transportation Center, Downtown surface lots and parking structures. The difficulty lies in finding a balance between each user group with limited parking that is available.
In response to the demand for additional parking the City Council has approved funding totaling $8.1 million in fiscal year 2007/08 to move forward with the construction of another parking structure near the train station. The City is currently trying to secure additional needed funds; however, funding is an issue because of budget problems at the State level.
Once all funding is in place, it will take about 18-24 months to acquire property and construct a new parking structure which will add an additional 1200 new spaces.
It should be noted that the City has made improvements where possible to increase the number of available parking spaces for commuters. These include the addition of a surface lot on the southeast corner of Pomona Avenue and Santa Fe Avenue; opening the Plummer Parking Structure and the 400 spaces herein to those arriving early; the addition of parking on the south side of the platform adjacent to the new park construction immediately east of Highland Avenue between Walnut Avenue and Truslow Avenue; and the addition of street parking on the north side of Santa Fe Avenue adjacent to the south platform. In addition to the above mentioned, additional long-term parking will be available this summer with the completion of the development on the south side of Santa Fe Avenue opposite the south platform.

As promised, Mayor Michael Bloomberg has vetoed two City Council bills aimed at increasing oversight of the New York City Police Department.
One of those bills would create an inspector general for the police department, while the other would have made it easier for people to sue the department for discrimination.
Both measures passed the City Council last month by a margin large enough for an override.
In his veto messages, Bloomberg said that the NYPD is already subject to more oversight than any other police force in the country.
The measures have been the subject of protests, both for and against.
Those who support the bills say that other major cities have similar policies, and they say that the NYPD's stop-and-frisk tactic shows the department profiles minorities.
Those against the bills, including the police union, say that they'll leave the NYPD dangerously unable to do its job.
The City Council has 30 days to vote on an override.

A look at the Covenant weapons in Halo 4
[Continued] Page 3
Fuel Rod Cannon
Typically used against heavy armor by launching charged fuel rods which violently detonate upon impact.
Chris King (Lead Sandbox Designer) - "Traditionally, the Fuel Rod hasn't gotten a lot of love in Halo multiplayer. This has changed in Halo 4. This is another case where I am really excited about the direction the audio and FX teams went in with the weapon. It's not drastically different but the changes just make it feel that much more satisfying and visceral. As with the other "area of effect" weapons in the game, the projectile speeds have been increased on this one, and we've fine-tuned the blast radiuses just a tad. Despite the faster speeds, you will still need to land a couple fuel rod shots to finish off an opponent, as an individual blast isn't powerful enough to kill someone. Because of the large magazine size on this one, it's also great for area of denial as well."
Energy Sword
Composed of superheated plasma, this sword remains the preferred close-quarters weapon of specialized Elites.
Frank O'Connor (Franchise Development Director) - "I am just eating it with this right now. I thought universal Sprint would give me a huge advantage, but the reality is it flattens it out for me. I used to go on crazy tears with the sword, but now I find myself being stopped short – that "gun game" thing people are referring to more and more seems to be hitting me where it counts during would-be sword sprees. I do find myself on the receiving end of it a fair amount, however."
Gravity Hammer
Crude yet formidable close-range Brute weapon, substantially improved by way of a powerful gravity drive.
Frank O'Connor (Franchise Development Director) - "For me, it's kind of the opposite philosophy from a lightsaber, an inelegant weapon for a more barbaric time. I love the fact that the splash effect can buy you some distance, even when you whiff it badly. I love the fact that a direct hit is a cast-iron guarantee of success, and I love the fact that you feel almost exactly like Donkey Kong for a similar amount of swings at the "barrels" the sandbox presents you. And yes, I know Mario is the one swinging the hammer, but it's important to make the Donkey Kong analogy sing!"

Brett Eldredge didn't set out to become a hit singer/songwriter when he wrote his first song back in college. He was simply goofing around with a friend.
Brett tells American Songwriter , "We recorded it in a college studio up in Illinois. We had no idea what we were doing, and we had a student that probably didn't know what they were doing in the studio, we were just kind of learning."
Brett is now thankful for that first songwriting experience. "I didn't even know that I was songwriting," he says. "But you do have to start somewhere, and just open your mind."
After Brett moved to Nashville a few years ago, he discovered people actually made a living writing songs. That's when he buckled down to really learn the songwriting craft.
He says, "I spent my time writing a bunch of really bad songs and trying to learn melodies on the guitar. I started whittling down over 300 songs into twelve songs for a record."
That album, Bring You Back , is now in stores featuring Brett's #1 hit, "Don't Ya."

There was sad news about a very popular former catcher for the Phillies.
Darren Daulton, leader of the 1993 National League pennant-winning Phils, has two brain tumors.
He is scheduled for surgery early next week.
Radio station 97.5 "The Fanatic," which hosts Daulton's radio show, broke the news to fans in a statement Thursday, saying he "has not been feeling well over the past two weeks."
Joining "Good Day Philadelphia" on Friday morning to talk more about the situation was Tony Bruno from "The Fanatic." You can watch his interview in the video clip above.
"You know, we all know Dutch. We know all him from the '93 Phillies, and the 'Macho Row,' and Dutch has become a good friend. He's a neighbor. So, when I found out the news yesterday morning, actually, before the station released it, we were all trying to figure out what will people say, how do we handle this?"
"And obviously he's not feeling well," Bruno said. "Monday he was on his last radio show, the 6 to 7 p.m. show 'Talking Baseball,' and he was having trouble speaking. And so people were saying, 'What's going on?' So, the management suggested that he go to Bryn Mawr Hospital to get checked out, and he did. And unfortunately they found the two tumors."
Bruno said he had heard that the surgery will be Monday.
Daulton's girlfriend, Amanda, told Bruno that the former All-Star catcher wanted everyone to know that he's really positive and to send positive vibes.
The radio station has set up an email address where people can do just that. The address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
That address had receive more than 2,000 emails within hours of the announcement of Daulton's forthcoming surgery, and Bruno pledged that all of those messages will be forwarded.
"Dutch is going to be fine. Just be positive, and Amanda said that he's as positive as he always is, and he knows he's going to get through this," Bruno said. "... And anybody who knows Darren knows he's one of the most positive, likable guys."
More than 10,000 people have "Liked" a FOX 29 Philadelphia Facebook post encouraging "Prayers for Dutch."
Other Facebook tribute pages are popping up encouraging use of the Twitter hashtags #PrayersForDutch, #GetWellDutch and #RightOnFightOn, referring to Daulton's oft-used response to fans and radio show callers.
Dr. Mike also discussed treatment for brain tumors Friday morning on "Good Day Philadelphia."
Join FOX 29's Mike Jerrick and the Good Day Philadelphia team for a tasty night of yummy treats benefiting local youth.

Lara Logan, the chief foreign correspondent for CBS News, was sexually assaulted in Cairo after the news of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's resignation broke. The joy and excitement turned to violence in Tahrir Square when Logan, who was working on a story for 60 Minutes, was surrounded by a mob and assaulted. Logan survived the attack and is in the hospital recovering, but the news has sent a chilling message to journalists, particularly women, everywhere.
Logan is no stranger to the peril of working abroad in dangerous places. She has covered floods in Mozambique, land invasions in Zimbabwe, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq for CBS over the last decade. Just one week before the attack, Logan and her crew were detained by the Egyptian authorities and treated brutally.
Some might say Logan is very brave. Others might say she is very foolish. As the mother of two children who undoubtedly need their mommy, she puts her life on the line every day in order to get the news to us at their expense. Is it worth it? In an interview a few months ago, Logan said:
But basically it is in my blood to be there and be in the street to listen to people and make the best story I can. But at the same time, I am also aware that I can put my family in a very difficult situation.
She isn't the first female reporter to be in this position. British journalist Christiane Amanpour, who has made a name for herself reporting in some of the most dangerous places on Earth, is also a mother. In 2000, she gave the keynote address at the Murrow Awards Ceremony and she had this to say:
Before my son was born I used to joke about looking for bullet-proof Snugglies and Kevlar diapers. I was planning, I told everybody, to take him on the road with me. At the very least I fully expected to keep up my hectic pace, and my passion as a war correspondent. But now, like every working mother, when I think of my son, and having to leave him, and I imagine him fixing those large innocent eyes on me and asking me, Mummy, why are you going to those terrible places? What if they kill you? I wince. I know that I want to say, that it's because I have to, because it matters, because Mummy's going to tell the world about the bad guys and perhaps do a little good.
In a world where moms are told more times than not that we ought to stay in the kitchen, stick close to home, and keep ourselves safe, Amanpour and Logan are doing the opposite. They are purposely going into harm's way to serve a greater good and they are paying dearly.
Any mom who has had a career has to choose at times between her work and her child. It's the way the world is set up. Obviously, Amanpour and Logan are extremes, but the story is the same. We moms are expected to be super human and to do things that no one expects of fathers.
Television journalist Bob Woodruff is a father and no one questioned his decision to be in Iraq when he was critically wounded by a roadside bomb. Anderson Cooper was attacked in Egypt and though he isn't a father, no one mentioned the way he looked or suggested it as the reason he was targeted. The fact is, the pressure on moms -- and women in general -- is far greater than that on men. Men are supposed to be the ones reporting the news, while women need to guard their own safety. The judgment has been so severe, that NPR has been forced to remove comments on their site.
So what gives? Was she wrong to be there? As a mother, I cannot imagine being in her position. I am leaving my children for a trip to Europe soon and it's physically painful to do so. It's hard to imagine being able to do it if I knew I was going into something so dangerous. That is because I am scared. Plain and simple. I am too scared to do what she does and most of us are, in fact.
Fear is paralyzing and if someone doesn't have that holding them back, then more power to them. Logan has courage and strength, and in the end, if bad were to befall her, her son and daughter would know their mother was undaunted by fear, that she was willing to stand up to the naysayers and put her life on the line for the greater good. That isn't stupid. That is brave, so amazingly brave. She is so much braver than most of us, and rather than piling on her, we should be thanking god that there are people like her who are so willing to sacrifice in order to get information to us.
Lara Logan is a hero.
Do you think she was stupid?

If you choose to look into it from Christiane Amanpour's perspective, then sure, Lara Logan did what was necessary...(but I can't help but adding that while they are trying to do good in the world, it's at the expense of their children's well being). What is that worth to a parent?
On your death bed, will you be satisfied that your legacy is about good journalism versus having children that were heavily influenced by you and knew you very well and loved you and they knew that you loved them because you were there for them?
I wouldn't call her stupid, but I personally don't think it's a smart career choice. As much as women want to have the same opportunities, men (for the most part, being the problem) STILL make it impossible for us to do so. Some women choose dangerous jobs because they have no choice ---others choose it for the satisfaction. But the reality is that plenty of mothers go scuba diving; fly private planes; clean out gorilla cages or become police officers. Personally, I'd rather stock shelves at the local supermarket than to put myself in danger or cause my family grief .....but I don't stand in judgment of those mothers that need more from life. I just feel horrible that she was compromised so brutally. I hope she can put this behind her, and that all reporters (male or female) remember that NO news report that they can provide their station, in the midst of such turmoil, is worth their life.
Aubrey Bell Barwick and charlottej could not have said it better. I am not that brave to join the military or report in volatile situations either and I am not going to judge those that do.
Bravery and comendable career choices will be of no comfort to motherless children..........
Kudos to Aubrey Bell Barwick and charlottej, very well said.

A fine impression, printed in sepia on soft but strong laid paper, as specified by Harris for the First Edition impressions. Printed in two shades of aquatint, which vary only slightly (in the later impressions the aquatint shades contrast more as the paler aquatint wears faster). The burin work at the bottom of the old lady's skirt is visible but not overly pronounced (as is the case in the later impressions). The aquatint contrasts brilliantly with the highlights of the figures, as it should.
After the impressions of the First Edition (about 300) the Caprichos was printed posthumously in 11 additional editions, none of which are comparable in quality to the lifetime impressions.
Goya's commentary on this print: "Oh! The bawdy old woman is no fool! She knows quite well what is wanted, and that the stockings must fit tightly." Pierre Gassier's French translation of this commentary (taken from the Biblioteca Nacional, Madrid translation of Goya's commentary) played on the French word "bas" meaning stocking or low), i.e., "A prostitute pulls on her stocking (bas) to make her legs more attractive, but there's really no place lower (plus bas) that she can fall." Whatever the wording, the general meaning is fairly clear, as is the visual contrast between the two women.

The General Household Survey (GHS) has provided data about households, families and people since 1971. The General Lifestyle Survey (GLF) continues to collect these data. This chapter looks at how the composition of households and families has changed over the last 40 years.
How the data are used and their importance
An understanding of households and families is crucial for those involved in planning and decision making at the national and local level. In addition, family and social relationships are one of the most important factors contributing to well-being. Users of the data include: journalists; charities; the private sector; students; researchers and academics; and members of the general public.
GHS and GLF data are combined with other ONS data sources to present a picture of households and families living in Great Britain. Information about the different data sources is provided in the ONS Information note Comparing data sources on families and households (171.1 Kb Pdf) , which is available on the ONS website. The note highlights the Labour Force Survey (LFS) as the preferred source for estimates on these topics due to its large sample size, timeliness, and because it provides estimates on a consistent basis for the whole UK. This is reflected in the ONS Statistical Bulletin on Families and Households that uses LFS and not GLF data. However, the GLF and GHS provide a longer time-series of data than the LFS (LFS data are only available from 1997 onwards) and are therefore important sources for analysing changes over the last 40 years. The Population Trends article, The changing demography of mid-life from the 1980s to 2000s, is an example of where historical GHS data has been used to understand changes over a number of decades.
An overview of population statistics more generally is provided on the ONS website.
The results
The analysis in this chapter looks at data from households, and the families and people who comprise households. In 2011 the definition of a household changed to reflect the change in the household definition used for the 2011 UK Census1. A household is defined as a person living alone, or a group of people (not necessarily related) living at the same address who have the address as their only or main residence, and either share cooking facilities and share a living room or sitting room or dining area. A household can consist of more than one family. A family is a married, civil partnered or cohabiting couple, or a lone parent, and their never married children (who may be adult), provided these children have no children of their own. Please see Appendix A, Definitions and terms (75.4 Kb Pdf) for further information.
Notes for Households, Families and People
1. Prior to 2011 a household was defined as: "one person living alone or a group of people (not necessarily related) living at the same address with common housekeeping – that is sharing either a living room or sitting room or at least one meal a day"
Over the 40 years between 1971 and 2011 the average size of a household in Great Britain has become smaller. In 1971 the average size of a household was 2.91 persons and in 2011 the average size was 2.35 persons. As Figure 3.1 shows average household size fell most rapidly between 1971 and 1991 (falling from 2.91 persons to 2.48 persons). The average household size continued to decline, though at a slower rate, throughout the 1990s falling to 2.32 by 1998, although it has changed little since then, the average household size has steadily increased, albeit slightly, since 2004.
The overall decline in average household size has resulted from a large increase in the proportion of one-person households, which almost doubled between 1971 and 1998 (increasing from 17% in 1971 to 29% in 1998). Since 1998 the proportion of one-person households has remained stable, with 31% of households in 2011 comprising of one-person. The increase in the proportion of households containing one adult is due to the increase of households containing one adult aged 16 to 59 years, which tripled from 5% in 1971 to 13% in 1998. Since 1998 there has been little change in this proportion, which has ranged between 13 and 16%; in 2011, 14% of households contained one adult aged 16 to 59 years. The proportion of households containing one adult aged 60 and over has remained stable over the forty years since 1971. In 2011 17% of households contained one adult aged 60 and over.
Tables 3.1 and 3.2 (394.5 Kb Excel sheet)
A single person household can be either a person living in the accommodation on their own or sharing accommodation with other household groups or individuals. For example, four unrelated people who live together but do not share one meal a day or share living accommodation would be classed as four single person households. Unsurprisingly, as the proportion of single person households increased so too has the proportion of adults living alone.
The proportion of adults (aged 16 and over) living alone in 2011 is almost double the proportion found in 1973 (16% compared with 9%). The increase in the proportion of adults living alone occurred between 1973 and 1998 (9% of adults lived alone in 1973, compared with 16% in 1998), and the proportion has remained stable since then. Across the 40 years of the survey the proportion of adults aged 75 or over who live alone has remained very stable, ranging between 47% and 51% and was 50% in 2011. However, adults aged 25 to 44 were five times more likely to live alone in 2011 (10%) than in 1973 (2%), again this increase occurred between 1973 and 1998 and then remained stable.
In families with children, the status of the children can be classed as being either dependent or non-dependent. Dependent children are those aged less than 16 living with at least one parent, or aged 16 to 18 in full-time education, excluding all children who have a spouse, partner or child living in the household.
In 1996 the household composition categories were extended to show married and cohabiting family groupings separately. Over the 15 year period between 1996 and 2011 there has been very little change in the proportions of households containing married couples and those containing cohabiting couples. For example, in 2011, 18% of all households consisted of a married couple and their dependent children, while 4% consisted of a cohabiting couple and their dependent children.
Table 3.5 (394.5 Kb Excel sheet)
The proportion of families with dependent children headed by a married or cohabiting couple has fallen over the 40 years between 1971 and 2011. In 1971 nine out of ten (92%) families with dependent children were headed by a married or cohabiting couple, by 2011 this proportion had fallen fewer than eight out of ten (78%) families. However, the decline in the proportion of these families headed by a married or cohabiting couple occurred between 1971 and 1998 and then remained stable until 2011. Over the same period, 1971 to 1998, there was a large increase in the proportion of lone parent families. Overall, the proportion of lone parent families tripled between 1971 to 1998, increasing from 8% to 25%. Again the proportion of lone parent families has remained relatively constant between 1998 and 2011, with 22% of families with dependent children being headed by a lone parent in 2011. The percentage of families with dependent children headed by a lone mother tripled between 1971 and 1998, increasing from 7% to 22% and this proportion has remained similar, ranging between 20% and 24% since then. In 2011, 20% of families with dependent children were headed by a lone mother. The rise in the proportion of this family type is mainly due to an increase in the proportion of lone mothers who have never married (single). In 1971 only 1% of families with dependent children were headed by a single lone mother, compared with 10% in 2011, again the increase in families headed by a single lone mother occurred between 1971 and 1998. The percentage of families headed by a lone father has remained very similar across the 40 years, increasing only slightly since the early 1970s from 1% to 2% in 2011.
Table 3.6 (394.5 Kb Excel sheet)
The proportion of dependent children who are the only dependent child in their family has risen steadily over the last 40 years. Among all dependent children, 26% were the only dependent child in their family in 2011, compared with just 18% in 1972. This increase is reflected in the fall in average number of dependent children in families, from 2.0 in 1971 to 1.7 in 2011. This fall is likely to be related to both changes in the average number of children born per woman and the increasing age at which women are having children.

"I'll go to talk to him then Elena." Anna said heading outside to talk to Jeremy. She used to date him for a while but broke up but they are still in good terms, and just friends.
Bonnie looked at Stefan and she sighed softly "You're telling me." she said with a slight sarcasm in her voice. Of course she knew strange things were going on in Mystic Falls, she was not stupid. "She went to class."
She then looked at Anna and she nodded "Okay." she said as she went to her locker and she set her perfume there, before putting on the necklace. Once she had her things and closed the door, she went to her class.
Jeremy was sitting outside, on a bench and staring into space. He didn't know Anna was back yet. He sighed softly closing his eyes and he leaned his head back slightly.
"Jeremy can we talk?" Anna asked walking up to him continuing to feel the guilt for not being there for them.
Jeremy was lost in his thoughts and pain and grief was written all over his face. His head snapped up hearing a familiar voice "Anna." he breathed out-he looked surprised to see that she was back. He knew she was on holiday and what not, but he wasn't sure when to expect her return. Sure they broke up, but she was still one of his friends and he cared about her. He stood up wrapping his arms around her in a hug. He needed it. He closed his eyes as he hid his face in her shoulder, holding back tears.
"Jeremy i'm so sorry of what happen to you, and Elena. I should have stayed to comfort you, and Elena after what happen when I was gone." Anna said with guilt, and tears in her eyes.
Jeremy looked at her as he sighed "It's not your..." he trailed off as he realized what she just said and he looked slightly confused. "Ho....w did yo...u kn...ow?" he asked, his voice shaky and he swallowed his saliva.
"Bonnie told me what happen." Anna said still feeling bad for not being there for them.
Sorry I haven't replied :( I've been busy all weekend and today I'm in not in a good mood :/ How do I jump in?

J M.From Dana Point 8/18/2010
A few years ago we took a newer higher end car here with difficult to match paint (pearlescent white) for some out-of-pocket minor rear bumper work. They were timely, did everything they promised, and to this day, even in bright sunlight, I cannot tell where they worked. It is a flawless repair for a very reasonable price (about $300.) I'm going back to Carsmetics in Lake Forest this week with my pickup for some other out-of-pocket minor damage estimates. I'll let you know how it goes.
M.R. From Orange County, 7/30/2011
We had some damage to our driver's side mirror, namely that the mirror was broken and the mirror compartment thingy was dangling off. We randomly took it to the Lake Forest Carsmetics, who said they'd order the part and it was in the very next day! Arrived 10 minutes before closing the next day after rushing there from work and they were more than happy to accommodate us. The work took no more than 20 minutes and was reasonably priced.
L.L. From Aliso Viejo 9/7/2011
I had some minor body damage on my car and started researching different auto body shops to get some bids. Carsmetics in Lake Forest was the best in terms of the price, the turnaround time, and the guarantee of services. Carsmetics offered the best service -by the phone and in person. Overall I was very pleased with the work that they did. When I picked up my car, I noticed that it hadn't been completely buffed, but they took it and cleaned it up for me. They did a great job and I was able to save a lot of money - the next lowest bid I received was over $200 more than Carsmetics.

I was in the mountains and a friend was driving in front of me. He reversed his van and hit my Civic. My front bumper had a hole in it and needed to be replaced. I went to Carsmetics, Lake Forest, and they gave me a great quote for a "used" bumper and said if I let them know a couple days ahead of time, they could paint and install it the same day. A couple days later I made an appointment for one week later. I brought it to them and dropped it off expecting to pick it up that evening. However, around 3 they said they would be receiving the bumper the next morning and it would be ready tomorrow or the next day. I called and left a message saying that I was expecting it that day, but I needed it by 5 PM the next day. The bottom line is that it was done by 5 PM the next day and it looked great. You couldn't tell it was used and it saved my buddy a lot of money! I was disappointed about not having it the same day as I dropped it off. I thought that when I made an appointment that they would be proactive and order the bumper so it was there when I dropped off my car. I guess I should have called a couple days regardless. All in all, they were great to work with and stayed true to their quote. I felt good with their service and product. I even got a car wash too. That was a nice add-on. I feel confident with Carsmetics and will go back if I ever get backed into again.
G.M. From Lake Forest 7/29/10
Had a mishap, the dealer wanted too much to repair, did not want to turn it over to ins. co. I took it to Carsmetics in Lake Forest, Could not believe the great job they did at half the price of the dealer. I would highly recommend them.

PPG Refinish
19699 Progress Drive
Strongsville, OH 44149
STRONGSVILLE, Ohio – December 4, 2008 – PPG Commercial Coatings has dramatically increased its involvement in the global wind turbine industry. With the growing international demand for alternative energy forms, PPG is assisting OEMs with the development and application of advanced coatings and materials for wind turbine blades. Understanding the process of harnessing and delivering wind energy as well as the harsh conditions in which wind turbines must operate, has enabled PPG to develop coatings solutions for this rapidly growing industry.
PPG is not a newcomer to the wind energy industry. The company has been producing coatings and fiber glass for wind turbine blades collectively for over 30 years and has intensified its focus in the last 24 months. PPG is heavily involved in research and development that will help enable OEMs to produce larger and more powerful turbines that compete with traditional forms of energy generation.
"We know how important this form of renewable energy is. We've added resources, enhanced our expertise and are developing innovative products for Europe, Asia and North America. We're helping our OEM customers with products that take cost out of their process, increase turbine energy output and improve overall turbine durability. With our broad geographic footprint, we can support this emerging industry on a global basis," said Dave Chapman, PPG global marketing director, commercial coatings.
Experts from the commercial coatings group work with PPG's protective and marine coatings and fiber glass divisions to address OEM needs for strong, durable and element-resistant wind energy components. The groups supply advanced protective coatings for turbine blades and towers as well as fiber glass for the composite blades. PPG proprietary wind energy products include:
According to Cheryl Richards, PPG global market development manager and leader of PPG's cross-business wind energy team, the number of wind turbine installations around the world is expected to more than double by 2012.
The marketplace has recognized PPG's competency. "Part of our mission is to develop long-life coatings that protect wind energy assets, and we've seen a significant increase in our coatings and fiber glass sales over the past year. That higher interest is evident in shows we've participated in this year in Brussels, Beijing and Houston," says Richards.
PPG is continuing to develop coatings to protect tower and turbine components for longer periods of time through the most extreme conditions along with coatings that de-ice and de-bug turbine blades.
"Our blade coatings help protect the entire investment," adds Chapman. "We're committed to helping OEMs do exactly that."

Pittsburgh-based PPG is a global supplier of paints, coatings, chemicals, optical products, specialty materials, glass and fiber glass. The company has more than 150 manufacturing facilities and equity affiliates and operates in more than 60 countries. PPG shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (symbol: PPG).

Really large. Any of my rifles would fit it there if set at an angle. I don't want to test it to see how tough the plastic is. Nice lid latches
The cases are as described in your catalog
This is a deep container and the tight seal makes it great for larger items to store dry.
A little deep to store ammo. I did not pay attention as to the depth.
Way bigger than expected. More like the size of an industrial garbage can. That's not necessarily a bad thing though.

SYDNEY, Australia -- Bernard Tomic of Australia won his first ATP title on Saturday, beating South Africa's Kevin Anderson 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-3 in the Sydney International final.
The 20-year-old Tomic dominated the first set, but the big-serving Anderson won 24 of 26 points on his serve in the second and played more aggressively than his opponent as he tried to get back into the match.
Tomic made three unforced errors in the tiebreaker, including a floating backhand long on set point to send the match into a third set.
Tomic broke Anderson at 4-3 in the decider, shortly after the South African had called for a fresh pair of shoes from the locker room, and then held serve to close out the match at Olympic Park.
"It's an amazing feeling," an emotional Tomic said after receiving the Ken Rosewall Trophy from the Australian legend.
"It's an honour to have won my first tournament in front of you," Tomic said, referring to Rosewall. "It's been a long road, but finally I have one of these trophies."
Tomic has had a resurgent start to the year, including a win over No. 1-ranked Novak Djokovic at the Hopman Cup in Perth two weeks ago, after a forgettable 2012.
Two weeks ago, it was reported that Australia Davis Cup captain Pat Rafter told Tomic that he would not be in the team to play Taiwan in a first-round Asia-Oceania zone match in Taipei from Feb. 1-3.
Tomic saw his ATP ranking slide from No. 27 in June to 52nd, and he faced questions about his performance at the U.S. Open in September after losing in straight sets to American Andy Roddick.
In late October, police were called to a Surfers Paradise high-rise apartment building after residents saw two men, one of them naked, wrestling and fighting in a hot tub on the balcony. One of the men was later identified as Tomic.
On Nov. 5, Tomic was fined $1,750 and put on a 12-month good-behaviour bond after facing a Gold Coast court in Queensland state over four driving charges resulting from twice being stopped by police in January.
Saturday's win will see Tomic's ranking climb more than 20 places, possibly as high as No. 43, when the Australian Open begins on Monday, reclaiming the Australian top spot over Marinko Matosevic.
He is the ninth Australian winner of the Sydney event and first since Lleyton Hewitt in 2005.
The match win was Tomic's eighth straight and completed a remarkable Open preparation.
In addition to beating Djokovic at the Hopman Cup, he later beat Tommy Haas and Andreas Seppi in Perth, before beating higher-ranked players Matosevic (47), Florian Mayer (26), Andreas Seppi and Anderson (36) in Sydney.
Tomic will begin his Australian Open campaign on Tuesday against Argentina's Leonardo Mayer and could meet Roger Federer if he reaches the third round.

In a tale of two pumps, gasoline nationally was at $3.50 per gallon Tuesday for the first time this summer after a sharp run-up in July, while prices in Utah were nearly a dime less than a year ago.
The price of gas in the U.S. in July gained 17 cents per gallon, or 5.1 percent. That marked the first monthly increase since March. The nationwide average was last at $3.50 per gallon on June 19.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
In Utah, the average cost of a gallon was $3.43 Tuesday, down 16 cents from last month and 8 cents cheaper than a year ago, said AAA Utah.
Drivers nationally had enjoyed a long stretch of declining prices at the pump as oil fell from more than $100 per barrel in March to below $78 by late June. The average price at the pump fell by 60 cents per gallon in about three months. But oil rose 13 percent from its June low on renewed concerns of supply disruptions in the Middle East and the usual increase in demand in the warmer months.
Oil ended July at $88.05 per barrel.

Every February 14th we celebrate St. Valentine's Day by sending flowers, cards and gifts to loved ones. But who is St. Valentine and why do we celebrate the holiday named for him?
Legend has it that Valentine was a priest in Rome, under the reign of Emperor Claudius II . Claudius ordered young, single Roman soldiers not to become engaged or get married. He believed that wives and families served as distractions to his soldiers and would not fight as well as unmarried men. Valentine defied the decree and secretly performed marriage rituals for young couples. Valentine was eventually arrested, imprisoned and ordered to be put to death.
While in prison in Rome, legend has it that Valentine wrote a letter to his sweetheart, which he signed "From your Valentine," an expression still in use today. Valentine was beheaded on February 14th .
The actual holiday of Valentine's Day derives its origins from the ancient Roman feast of Lupercalia -- a spring fertility festival celebrated on February 15. On the eve of the festival, the names of the young Roman girls were written on slips of paper and placed into jars. Each young unmarried man drew a slip with a name on it. This girl was chosen was to be his sweetheart for the year. Many of the young couples were later married.
This festival was later outlawed because the annual pairings were considered "un-Christian." It is believed that the Christian church decided to celebrate Valentine's Day on February 14th in an attempt to disassociate with the pagan Lupercalia festival.

Sutton named Hondros College Instructor of the Month
Jeanne Sutton, real estate agent with Bolte Real Estate, Port Clinton, has been named September Instructor of the Month with Hondros College.
Hondros College has nine locations throughout Ohio. Sutton has been teaching for 12 years, six of those years with Hondros , and has been part of the real estate industry for 22 years, 15 of those as a residential appraiser.
"I have been interested in real estate all of my adult life, " says Sutton, " and I love to teach. My father's goal for me was that I would teach. One of the best days of my life was the day I told him I was going to be teaching."
Sutton explains the joy of being a real estate educator, "Imagine the feeling of accomplishment to have students in their 70's and 80's not only attend the class and pass the exam but also become successful in real estate. We have been through some tough times in real estate and it is impressive to see that students still have enough faith in the resilience of the real estate industry to come to Hondros to get a license."

4:30 p.m. December 19, 2012 - The National Weather Service has issued Blizzard Warnings for Monroe, Juneau and Adams Counties effective Wednesday night and Thursday along with Winter Storm Warnings for most of the TV-9 viewing area. A Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for Price, Lincoln, Oneida, Vilas, Ashland and Iron Counties for the same period.
A strong and dangerous winter storm is bearing down on Wisconsin. As of Wednesday evening it was centered in Kansas and tracking northeast on a course that will bring it up into Lake Michigan by Thursday afternoon. This path would put a swath of very heavy snow from much of Iowa clear up to central and northeast Wisconsin into central and eastern Upper Michigan. The track of the storm has shifted a bit northward and this will produce a few additional inches of snow across much of our area compared to earlier thoughts. Amounts should vary generally between 4 and 15 inches across the TV-9 area with the 4" amounts up toward Park Falls and Minocqua, with around 6 to 10" in the Marathon County area, with the 10 to 15" amounts more common south and east of Marathon County according to Stormtrack 9 Meteorologist Tony Schumacher. The snow should start by midnight Wednesday night in the southern part of the TV-9 viewing area and reach the Northwoods toward daybreak Thursday.
This storm will have a high travel impact because it will be accompanied by sustained north to northwest winds of 15 to 30 mph with gusts to 40 mph. The strongest winds will hit Thursday afternoon and night. This will create widespread blowing and drifting of the snow and poor visibilities. Near whiteout or blizzard conditions are possible at the height of the storm especially where some of the heavier snow falls. Snow drifts could reach 4 or 5 feet high from southwest through central into northeast Wisconsin in some spots. Even locations that only receive a few inches of snow in northwest Wisconsin will still have treacherous travel conditions because of that wind.
The snow will end Thursday evening but it will stay windy into Friday morning. It will also turn colder as polar air rushes in from Canada. It will stay chilly and dry through early next week. There are some signs of another weather system or two early to mid next week that may produce snow. Stay tuned for updates and please avoid traveling Thursday unless it is absolutely necessary as it could be quite dangerous on the roads.
8:30 a.m. December 19, 2012 - The snow is on its way. The National Weather Service has issues Blizzard Warnings for Adams and Juneau counties and Winter Storm Warnings for Waushara, Clark, Jackson, Wood, Portage, Waupaca, Shawano, and Menominee counties, and a Winter Weather Advisory for Taylor, Marathon, Langlade, Forest, Florence, Lincoln, Vilas and Oneida counties effective late tonight through most of Thursday.
Newsline 9 Chief Meteorologist Justin Loew says that clouds will thicken tonight and snow will begin south of Marathon county. In the southern part of the area there could be 2 to 4 inches of snow on the ground by daybreak Thursday morning and it will spread further north and become heavy during the day, according to Loew. Snow amounts will range from 1 to 3 inches in the far north around Rhinelander, Minocqua and Phillips, to 4 to 6 inches around the Marathon county area, to 6 to 9 inches around Rapids and Point, to a foot or even a bit over a foot in parts of Adams, Juneau and Waushara counties.
"You do not want to be out on the roads tomorrow in the southern half of the area," Loew advises.
8:30 a.m. December 18, 2012 - Much of the central and southern viewing area will be under a Winter Storm Watch effective Wednesday night through Thursday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
Langlade, Menominee, Shawano, Marathon, Waupaca, Portage, Wood, Jackson, Monroe, Juneau, Adams and Waushara counties have all been placed under the watch as of 8:00 a.m. Tuesday.
There is a 90% chance of snow by late Wednesday evening, according to Newsline 9 Chief Meteorologist Justin Loew. Loew says that a significant Winter storm will develop Wednesday night, continuing into Thursday. "It still looks like the heaviest snow will fall south of the Wausau area. As of this point we are forecasting an inch or so of snow during this time period in north of Highway 8," Loew said. "Cities such as Abbotsford , Wausau, and Antigo will likely end up in the 3 to 5 inches range. Around Rapids and Point snow amounts could reach 5 to 8 inches and locations such as Wisconsin Dells, Adams, Wautoma and Waupaca could receive up to 12 inches of snow."
Loew says that there is still a chance the storm could shift a little north or south, shifting the heaviest snow but currently the heaviest snow looks like it will stay in the southern half of the area.
Strong winds are expected throughout the storm. That could cause some blowing and drifting. Travel may be difficult on Thursday.
