Publication: The Day
New London - Armed with bullhorns, signs and firm-seated beliefs, hundreds of union members and supporters rallied Monday afternoon for Senate candidate Chris Murphy prior to the Democrat's debate with Republican Linda McMahon at the Garde Arts Center.
McMahon, a former WWE executive from Greenwich who also ran for the seat in 2010, had plenty of supporters of her own to counter the Democrats planned rally. Recent polls have showed the candidates running a close race in the seat for retiring Sen. Joseph Lieberman. Attacks by the two candidates in the press, on televised advertisements and during a debate Sunday morning have become increasingly confrontational as Election Day draws near.
Outside the Garde, supporters flooded the corner of State and Huntington streets before the 7 p.m. debate. Organizers expected a large crowd to fill the 1,400-seat auditorium.
From a stage in front of the 1784 courthouse on Huntington Street, State Rep. Ernest Hewett led the crowd in a cheer of "Fired up, ready to go!" for Murphy, who currently serves as a congressman from the state's 5th District. Standing in front of a sign that said "Chris Murphy: Fighting For Us," Hewett said it was the biggest political rally he'd seen in downtown New London in years.
"This is how we do it in New London, man," he said. "You have to hand it to labor because each one of these guys represents one working family."
McMahon supporters across the street countered with boos and catcalls of "We can't hear you" and "Go Linda!" while using bullhorns of their own to try to drown out the Democratic union leaders and representatives that filed on stage to rile up the crowd.
"Send Linda back to WWE!" one union leader bellowed from on stage. "We don't need her, we don't want her, we don't like her!"
Another Murphy supporter held a sign that read "McMahon wants to send American jobs to Chyna," an apparent reference to former wrestling "diva" Chyna.
Two McMahon supporters from Waterford painted their chests and wore Norwegian flags across their backs, a reference to a recent revelation that Murphy in a television advertisement showed a foreign-built submarine when discussing keeping jobs at the Groton-based Electric Boat. Another McMahon supporter held a "Buy Norwegian" poster, another reference to the sub gaffe and play on Murphy's "Buy American" plan.
A red Subaru covered in "Linda" stickers and signs circled the block, honking its horn and waving to supporters. Another McMahon supporter held a life-size cutout of the movie character Ferris Bueller with a dialogue balloon from his mouth reading "Murphy? Murphy? Murrrrrphy?" in a reference to the movie's famous line.
Welcoming the crowd to New London, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio introduced Murphy, who addressed the rally before entering the Garde.
"We don't want a senator who fights for the 1 percent, we want a senator who will fight for the 100 percent," Finizio declared as Murphy took the microphone around 6 p.m.
"I'm going to go over there and kick some butt!" Murphy said before he left the stage. A large crowd followed as he crossed the intersection and onto the sidewalk, where he broke through a line of McMahon supporters holding huge "Linda" signs. Shoving and pushing ensued and sharp words exchanged as the crowd wrestled its candidate towards the Garde's front door.
Steve Sigel, the Garde's executive director, said he expected the crowd to be similar to when the center hosted Lieberman during a 2006 debate. By 6:30, 600 people had entered the auditorium.
"This has national focus, too, so this should get a lot of people," Sigel said.
By 6:45, the crowd had dispersed. Campaign workers from each side either broke down the stage or cleaned up discarded signs. The rowdy throng of some 400 people had filed in, ready to hear from the candidates themselves.

Seven Die On Kentucky Roadways Last Week (Dec. 9 through Dec. 15)
Date of News Release: 12/16/13
(Frankfort, KY) -- Preliminary statistics* indicate that seven people died in seven separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways from Monday, Dec. 9 through Sunday, Dec. 15, 2013.
One single fatality motor vehicle crash occurred in each of the following counties: Fayette, Grayson, Jefferson, Knott, Lyon and Muhlenberg. The victims in the crashes in Grayson and Jefferson counties were not wearing seat belts.
One pedestrian was killed in Jefferson County.
Through Dec. 15, preliminary statistics* indicate that 609 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2013. This is 108 fewer than reported for this time period in 2012. Of the 473 motor vehicle fatalities, 235 victims were not wearing seat belts. Of the 72 motorcycle fatalities, 44 were not wearing a helmet. Ten of the 10 ATV fatalities were not wearing a helmet. Fifty pedestrians and three bicycle riders have been killed. One fatality involving an animal drawn vehicle has been reported. A total of 133 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol. As of Dec. 15, Kentucky has had 73 days with zero highway fatalities reported during 2013.
More information about Kentucky crashes can be found on the KSP website at http://www.kentuckystatepolice.org/tip.htm.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas. Crash data for this report is generated from the Kentucky Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).

How? I can listen to the radio, that's it.
The two ways round it are:
- convinving step-father to remove my internet time out
- finding £20 a month to fund a Sky Sports subscription and getting mother to agree to setting up a direct debit to her account.
From past experience I usually manage the first session pretty comfortably. Lunch is the killer tho.
Plan for work days this year is to watch morning, catch three or so hours kip and tune back in for apres tea.

- As featured in The Independent.
"as much a news event as an actual footballer, a worthy stop-start centre forward, but an all-time hyper-galactico when it comes to doing funny things with cars and hats, a player whose signing proves once again that the Premier League is still undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to doing things with cars and hats."
- Barney Ronay on Mario Balotelli
I've just realised I watched the Super Bowl all through the night last year.
Now its just a case of doing it on 5 consecutive nights and on 5 seperate occasions...
If I do not get a new job anytime soon this should be fairly easy for me, often watched the first couple of sessions of Australian tests last year without any of the motivation which comes with the ashes, late shifts might mean missing a few opening sessions though.
Really hope to have at least an internship by the start of January, so that should coincide just nicely.
Does it have to be an iPhone?
I just have Sky Player on my laptop, is pretty expensive but will be well worth the price this winter. (and there may well be sign up deals, I got mine for cheap during ashes last year)
Does have an occasional tendency to **** up but that is normally only on big football matches.
Yeah.. don't have a PC internet connection between 11pm and 7am :/
Well that is just silly....

Are you a conformist or a non conformist?
Definition: Conformity - Doing things the way it is defined by perceived limitations - Social, physical, mental or executional.
Non-Confirmity - The ability to take risk and go beyond the defined, allowed or the traditionally possible - based on being driven and on belief.
Non-Conformity is often perceived as REBEL, rebel is looked at as something that is wrong. I want to share that Non-conformity does not have to be wrong. While there are mostly examples of it that hog limelight for negative reasons; it is a life changing idea for the good. If we intend it to be that way.
My life has been divided between being a conformist and a non-conformist. I still don't have the answer but I am sure that people not willing to conform to things ought to get the due respect and a proper platform for it now.However, it is important that the means and intention are absolutely humane for this different person. Otherwise - there will just be more of the negative examples.
If you feel like digging deeper into it, I spoke about this at a recent TEDx; you can see that at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBLCWg37R6Q
Are you a conformist or a non-conformist? It will be great if you could suggest some examples of non-conformity that did good for the world.
Answers appreciated.

Mar 9 2012: As a young metalhead, I've always been a part of a culture which is inherently 'non-conformist'. But metal is a philosophical culture and rarely do individuals within the culture use those words. As you said, 'non-conformist' has always been synonymous with 'rebel', and a common criticism is that by being a rebellious metalhead or punk in the spirit of non-conformity, one is indeed becoming a conformist by conforming to the standards of their social group.
I've always said "I'm not a non-conformist, I just conform to a better standard". Which is presumptuous, but as good a description as any.
But you present an interesting definition. A metalhead is a conformist... He is limited by his moral restrictions. We don't hate color, but we do hate wasteful fashion. Because of this, we don't wear most kinds of clothing. We come to resent fashion. It's seen as conformity to the metal fashion standards (and for some it is, we're a varied culture with many different ideologies) when for many it's a way of communicating a kind of band-preference by adorning the symbols of bands (and our bands tend to be variable in the same way; a band may help express your own personal ideologies or interests). Anti-religiousness or satanism is believed to be a common metal perspective, but there are huge religious metal cultures including Christianity, Islam and new-age spiritualism. Still, some metalheads -do- conform to decidedly atheistic, paganistic or satanistic views (usually this depends on region; Norwegian metalheads are more likely to be satanic then anyone else, for example).
I would say I am a conformist and an non-conformist. I have personal limitations which are social, physical, mental or executional. I also prefer to challenge my pre-conceptions, change my opinions in light of good evidence and control my reactions in order to make better choices.
Mar 12 2012: I'd like to think we're too obsessed with being 'the same' and being 'different' when we should all be less concerned with either, and instead, just try and 'be right'. There's no harm in conforming to a good standard. There's no harm in rebelling against a bad standard. It's bad to conform to an unhealthy standard and it's bad to rebel against positive standards.

Majors and Minors in Theatre
The Department of Theatre & Dance offers a B.A. in Theatre and a B.F.A. in Performing Arts. The B.F.A. requires that you also choose a concentration in one of four area of expertise: Acting, Directing, Music Theatre or Theatre Design and Technology. We offer minors in Theatre, Music Theatre and Performing Arts Administration.
B.A. in Theatre
B.F.A. in Performing Arts
Theatre Minor
Music Theatre Minor
Performing Arts Administration Minor
What's the difference between the B.A. in Theatre and the B.F.A. in Performing Arts?
Our B.A. (Bachelor of Arts) in Theatre is a traditional Liberal Arts degree, designed to provide a solid foundation in all aspects of theatre while leaving some flexibility to pursue your own particular interests. You will need to combine it with a minor, or even a second major. Our B.A. in Theatre does not require an audition, and is most appropriate for students who want the freedom to explore during their undergraduate years. B.A. Theatre students will often combine their degree with a major or minor in Film, Broadcasting, Creative Writing, Dance, Music, or Performing Arts Administration. But really, you can combine your B.A. in Theatre with almost any other major or minor at Western. How about a Pre-Med second major? It's possible!
Our B.F.A. (Bachelor of Fine Arts) is a pre-professional degree. It involves rigorous, conservatory-style training intended to hone your skills for entry into the professional world of the performing arts. Our B.F.A. involves both a broad introduction to all aspects of theatre and concentrated training in one of four separate areas: Acting, Directing, Music Theatre, or Theatre Design and Technology. Admission into the B.F.A. in Performing Arts is by audition/interview in the third semester. Until accepted into the B.F.A. interested student are classified as "seeking admission."
Both degrees are designed to prepare students for further studies at the graduate and/or professional level.
General Education Theatre Courses
The Department of Theatre & Dance offers multiple sections of THEA 151: Theatre Appreciation which can be used to fulfill general education requirements. PERF 105: Taiji is also offered for general education in the category of Health and Wellness.
Honors Theatre Courses
Each semester we offer honors sections of a number of our Theatre classes. Past offerings have included Theatre Appreciation, Acting II, World Theatre History I & II, Musical Theatre History and Repertoire, Fundamentals of Theatre, Contemporary Performance, and Advanced Performing Arts Studio.
Want to know more? Contact us anytime and we'll set up an appointment with one of our faculty members.

ROSHOLT, WI (WTAQ) - Fire heavily damaged a central Wisconsin tavern.
The Flume Creek Bar in Rosholt started burning around 3:30 a.m. Sunday, an hour-and-a-half after the Saturday night crowd left.
Rosholt is northeast of Stevens Point, and firefighters from both communities helped put out the blaze. Rosholt Fire Chief Chris Kluck said it started in the kitchen area, near a large exhaust fan.
The wooden structure is still standing – but the roof, the interior, and a kitchen wall are heavily damaged.
No one was in the bar at the time.

The streets of Titletown are a little quieter, except for some unpleasant sounds.
"Oh gosh," sighed one fan.
"Come on Aaron, we need you," pleaded another.
On Tuesday, Green Bay Packers fans had to deal with a lot. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers fractured his collarbone on the first drive of the game against the Chicago Bears. There's no timeline for when he'll be back.
"Having two losses, the possible loss of Rodgers and the loss to the Bears, it's kind of pouring a little salt in the wound," said Traci Bryfcznski, store manager of The Jersey Store in Ashwaubenon.
When Aaron Rodgers went down, so did the spirits of fans across the world.
"I wasn't very happy the rest of the game," said green and gold fan Mark Procter.
But it's okay, because fans say that's why there are back up quarterbacks. Except in this case, fans say they weren't quite sure who that was.
"I didn't even know who the back up quarterback was," said Gerard Candrian. "We found out the hard way last night thought."
The talk around Titletown Tuesday was clearly focused on Aaron Rodgers, his injury, and when he'll be back. But another name is also being thrown around. Fans say maybe it's time for someone else to come back, perhaps to heal some old wounds.
"Bring back number four," shouted one fan.
"Who knows, maybe they'll bring back Farve," added Procter.
But one fan wasn't sold on the idea.
"Oh he can't do that, no offense Brett, but no, not in game shape," joked Lori Primich of Berlin, CT.
But no matter which side of the fence they fall, fans say they're not ready to hand off the ball.
"He'll be back, that's all I can say," said Penny Enders. "There's only one Aaron Rodgers."
"Packers fans will always support all the players no matter if they're hurt or not hurt, good or bad," added Bryfczynski,
Supporting the players, even if they don't know you're name just yet.
"Win or lose, Go Pack Go!"

In 1578, Fray Juan de Plasencia and Fray Diego de Oropesa, two Franciscan missionaries from Spain founded the town of Tayabas in order to spread Christianity to its natives. Prior to the occupation, however, the native Tayabenses lived in rural settings typical to those times, with barangays headed by village chiefs and councils of elders.[4]
From 1749 to 1901, Tayabas was the capital of the Province of Tayabas, now known as Quezon. In the 19th century, Tayabas was among the biggest towns in the country. Its Minor Basilica of St. Michael the Archangel, which was enlarged in the mid-1850s, is the longest church in the country and is a lasting testament to its glorious and historic past.
In more than three centuries of Spanish occupation, only eight cities and towns were given the title of Villa, and Tayabas was one of them. These are La Villa del Santisimo Nombre de Jesus de Cebu in 1565, La Villa de Santiago de Libon (Albay, 1573), La Villa Fernandina de Vigan (Ilocos, 1574), La Villa Rica de Arevalo (Iloilo, 1581), La Noble Villa de Pila (Laguna, 1610), La Muy Noble Villa de Tayabas, (Tayabas, 1703), La Villa de Bacolor (Pampanga, 1765), La Villa de Lipa (Batangas, 1887). Interestingly, that Tayabas was given the title of 'most noble' villa even before it became the provincial capital shows its importance even before 1749.
In the book "The Philippines," written by French traveler Jean Baptiste Mallat, and published in 1846, it appears that Tayabas had more than 21,000 people at that time. This was reduced to 16,000 when Lucena became an independent town in 1879. Due to low population growth during the Spanish period, this number remained unchanged until the coming of the Americans.
Tayabas is at the center of the province's long-settled heartland, which possessed the best lands, the oldest parishes, and the most active commercial centers. The provincial heartland was described by Pres. Manuel L. Quezon as having the "richest and gayest places in the province."
Tayabas has many places of interest. Its Casa Comunidad, a centuries-old building, is the place where Apolinario "Hermano Pule" Dela Cruz was tried and sentenced to death in 1841. It was restored in the 1990s through funds donated by the "Friends of Casa Comunidad," an organization of affluent Manila-based Tayabenses.
Its numerous Spanish-era bridges mirror its rich architectural past. Two of the longest are the Malagonlong and the Malaoa bridges. Malagonlong's high and beautiful arches and its solid design are some of the reasons why it was declared a national historical site. It is so strong that it withstood the dynamites planted there to stop the Japanese advance during World War II.
Tayabas suffered a terrible blow near the end of World War II when it was completely burned to the ground after a bombing raid on March 15, 1945. Prior to that, the old houses of Tayabas rival those of Vigan's Spanish-era structures.
On March 18, 2007, Republic Act No. 9398, An Act Converting the Municipality of Tayabas in the Province of Quezon into a Component City to be known as City of Tayabas, was enacted into law. On July 14, 2007, the municipality held a plebiscite to ratify the conversion of the said act, with the residents voting in favor of the move, although there was a low turnout of voters for the plebiscite.
However, in its Decision dated November 18, 2008, the Supreme Court revoked the cityhood of Tayabas and 15 other cities, and declared their cityhood laws unconstitutional. According to the High Court, the cityhood laws violated Section 10, Article X of the Constitution as well as the equal protection clause.[5] More than a year later, on December 22, 2009, acting on the appeal of the so-called "League of 16 Cities" (of which Tayabas is a part), the Supreme Court reversed its earlier ruling and ruled that "at the end of the day, the passage of the amendatory law (regarding the criteria for cityhood as set by Congress) is no different from the enactment of a law, i.e., the cityhood laws specifically exempting a particular political subdivision from the criteria earlier mentioned. Congress, in enacting the exempting law/s, effectively decreased the already codified indicators."[6]
But on August 24, 2010, in a 16-page resolution, the Supreme Court reinstated its November 18, 2008 decision striking down the Cityhood laws[7] making Tayabas a municipality again.
The most recent development in the legal battle surrounding the "League of 16" came on February 15, 2011. Voting 7-6, the Supreme Court ruled that the 16 towns can stay as cities. It is the fourth time that the Supreme Court ruled on the case, and the third reversal, something that is unprecedented in its history. It said the conversion of the 16 towns into cities met all legal requirements.[8]

text: I've carried Swiss Army knives for years – I have two in my purse right now. My daughter has been fascinated by those little knives, especially the one with the translucent green covers on my keychain. She's been asking for her own knife since she could talk, but she had to wait until her middle school "graduation" to get one. If you have a toddler that's fascinated with your pocket knife, you can give her one of her own that you know is safe. ThinkGeek has the Kids Swiss Army Knife. This is an official Victorinox toy with 6 plastic tools. There's a spoon and fork (big enough to eat with), a saw blade and knife blade, a screwdriver/can opener that can pry apart plastic building blocks, a plastic magnifying glass, and there's a small carabiner. The Kids Swiss Army Knife is $7.99. For ages 3-7.

UPDATE*** "D" is resting at home today. She is exhausted from the myriad testing done yesterday. (but glad to be home instead of in the hospital. Girls from the midwest must be tough!) She will have a strict regimen of medication/injections for 3 months. And they will do a follow-up visit at that time. Until then, "D" and myself are deeply grateful for your prayers and concern. Once again....you "warriors" have proven just WHAT the power of prayer does...in numbers!
Thank you....you beautiful souls and.....t.c.~ j

Cleaner air could be in your future
Craig Grossman makes a living out of clean air.
Owner of Allied Bioscience Services (ABS), the Point Roberts resident has been providing a mix of traditional and innovative tools for cleaner indoor air to California and B.C. homes and businesses for over two years.
The business is now expanding to other states in the Pacific Northwest, and Washington is next on the list.
"Our main business has been mold renovation," Grossman said. Starting with an inspection Grossman said they develop a strategy with the client that involves removal of moldy material and cleaning, followed by treatment with an organic enzyme bundle that "chews the mold up," dissolving it in areas that otherwise might need to be torn out.
Researchers have also confirmed the product kills residual mold spores, and ABS will guarantee that as long as new moisture doesn't come into the area it will remain mold-free.
"We tend to be cheaper and much less destructive than other methods," Grossman said, "and you don't have people coming into your home with toxic chemicals that can be as bad as the mold itself."
Grossman is particularly excited about a technology that has been killing smog in Japan and Italy and deodorizing the notoriously smelly New York busses: a coating that makes surfaces act like air purifiers.
"When you first read about this you go 'yeah, right, just spray it on and it zaps the bad stuff,' but that's pretty much it," Grossman said.
ABS has exclusive rights to new application technology that makes application of a titanium oxide coating affordable. The naturally occurring metal oxide is a photocatalyst: when activated by light it oxidizes organic compounds. "Light charges a particle and you basically have mini-explosions," Grossman said.
Treated surfaces like walls and counters eliminate pollutants like formaldehyde and carbon monoxide from the air, reduce odors by oxidizing the compounds that cause them, reduce dust accumulation and kill bacteria and viruses that contact them.
"This is the only technology that continues to clean after you've cleaned something," Grossman said. "The only by-products of the reaction are carbon dioxide and water vapor." The cost of residential application of the coating is $1.25 per square foot of living area.
ABS bundles the titanium oxide coating with a titanium-treated polarizing filter system and full-spectrum light bulbs for their Bioshield Healthy Home program. "Our indoor air quality is deteriorating and we're isolating ourselves into even more contained areas," Grossman said. Electronics produce ozone, furniture coatings emit ketones and aromatic hydrocarbons, cooking sends particulates and odors into the air, and more tightly-sealed new homes keep the compounds inside.
"We can make the air inside cleaner than it is outside," Grossman said. "We're not making bubbles for people to live in, we're just making the air cleaner."
Contact Grossman and ABS at 866/575-8842 or 360/945-1608.

'♥,' 'OMG,' and 'LOL' added to the dictionary
The experts at Oxford Dictionaries Online explain that the initialisms added to the dictionary are "noteworthy" and even happen to be "found outside of electronic contexts" at times.
Other additions include "March 24, 2011", defined as the day that human language died.
We're officially retarded. This is only telling our youth that it's acceptable to use abbreviations and even symbols in the place of ACTUAL WORDS when writing. Like spelling certain words wrong as a result of excessive online communication wasn't bad enough.

This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What to expect at the emergency room
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may receive:
- Activated charcoal
- Fluids by IV
- Gastric lavage
- Laxative
- Naloxone (Narcan), a medicine (antidote) to help reverse the effect of the poison -- multiple doses may be needed
Expectations (prognosis)
If an antidote can be given, recovery from an acute overdose often occurs within 1 - 2 days.

STATE COLLEGE, PA (WTVB) - The Michigan Wolverines were unable to hold on to a lead with less than a minute left in regulation and then got beaten outlasted by Penn State, 43-40, in four overtimes on Saturday night.
A two-yard rushing touchdown by PSU running back Bill Belton gave the Nittany Lions the win after Michigan kicked a field goal on the first possession of the fourth overtime period.
Meantime, Jeremy Langford scored four touchdowns, and Michigan State recovered from an early defensive breakdown to beat Indiana 42-28 on Saturday.
The Spartans (5-1, 2-0 Big Ten) prevailed in a matchup between their top-ranked defense and Indiana's fast-paced offense. Tevin Coleman scored on a 64-yard run for the Hoosiers (3-3, 1-1) just 61 seconds into the game, but Michigan State took control shortly after halftime.
Indiana's Nate Sudfeld went 14 of 30 for 137 yards, although backup Tre Roberson threw two touchdown passes.
Indiana came in ranked No. 1 in the Big Ten in total offense, but Michigan State had the nation's top-ranked defense.

I'm Doug Whiteman with your weekly look at mortgage rates.
Mortgage rates were pushed this week to their highest levels in two months, with the jumps fueled by a stronger-than-expected report on U.S. hiring.
The average rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages went up 13 basis points to 4.48 percent. A basis point is one-hundredth of 1 percentage point. The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage rose 7 basis points, to an average 3.49 percent. The average on 30-year jumbo mortgages, generally loans of more than $417,000, also climbed 7 basis points, to 4.51 percent.
The 5/1 ARM rose 8 basis points, to an average 3.33 percent.
Bankrate's weekly survey follows a report from the Labor Department that while the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.3 percent in October, employers added 204,000 jobs. That was far more than economists had expected. A pick-up in hiring suggests the overall economy is strengthening, meaning it's safe for interest rates to rise again.
To find the best mortgage rates in your area, just use the free search engine at Bankrate.com. I'm Doug Whiteman.
Fixed mortgage rates were slightly higher this week.
The 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 4.51 percent this week.
Mortgage rates pulled back slightly this week.
The benchmark 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose to 4.5 percent.
