When it comes to the two major political parties, I'm pretty much a "plague on both your houses" kind of guy.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – Although the South Kingstown schools received positive results on its K-8 literacy audit, the school committee held a work session Tuesday night to discuss how to utilize the evaluation to make the program even better for students.
The literary audit, in which each classroom is evaluated, provides an objective view on the work in South Kingstown's schools. It provides suggested areas of focus for future improvement of the program over three to five years. The audit was done through a federal grant.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN—The South Kingstown Chamber of Commerce sent out an email last Thursday to the five other local South County chambers and local businesses, notifying them of their official chamber's name change to the Southern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce." The Board of Directors for SKCC had voted unanimously for the change. The action has subsequently angered many of the surrounding chambers of commerce in South County, including Narragansett and Charlestown.

NARRAGANSETT – New England's fishing fleet may have to make room for Big Brother as a federally funded pilot program plans to use closed-circuit cameras on board to record the catch and replace human observers on fishing boats. The program has local fishermen up in arms over the extremes regulations have taken.

Mobile deathmatch: Apple iOS 5 vs. Google Android OS
How Google's tablet 'Honeycomb' and smartphone 'Gingerbread' OSes fare in the battle with iOS 5 on the iPad and iPhone
After months of hype, Apple has released iOS 5 for current iPhone 3G S and 4 owners, for iPad and iPad 2 owners, and for third- and fourth-generation iPod Touch owners. I survey its key new features in the slideshow "iOS 5 and iCloud: The InfoWorld visual tour," but the fact is that iOS doesn't exist in isolation. It competes with Google's Android OS, and the group of smartphones running Android now significantly outsells the iPhone. (It's a different story in tablets, where the iPad is trouncing everyone, including Android.)
You can see the effects of the healthy competition in one of iOS 5's major new features: Notification Center, clearly based on Android's well-regarded notifications capability that allows users to access alerts and notices from any application. But iOS 5 largely advances the groundbreaking iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch in its own ways, as well as adapting recent enhancements to Apple's latest desktop OS, Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
[ See iOS 5's and iCloud's new features in "iOS 5 and iCloud: The InfoWorld visual tour." | Get the best apps for your mobile device: InfoWorld picks the best iPad office apps, the best iPad specialty apps, the best iPhone office apps, the best iPhone specialty apps, the best Android office apps, and the best Android specialty apps. | Learn how to manage iPhones, Androids, BlackBerrys, and other smartphones in InfoWorld's 20-page Mobile Management Deep Dive PDF special report. ]
Apple delivers a unified mobile OS for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch, whereas Google has two Android tracks: one for tablets and one for smartphones. Google does plan on unifying the two Android OSes into a single one later this year, in Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" now under development, but for now, Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" for smartphones and Android 3.2 "Honeycomb" for tablets are the ones competing with iOS 5.
Note that "Gingerbread" is a fairly minor update to Android 2.2 "Froyo," which most Android smartphones still run. "Gingerbread" adds an improved onscreen keyboard design, the ability to amend auto-correction suggestions when typing, a new universal menu shortcut to the Manage Applications preferences, support for multiple cameras, an updated downloads manager for the browser, and support for near-field communications (NFC) radios. (I tested "Gingerbread" on a Google Nexus One, which doesn't support NFC or have multiple cameras.) Note too that most Android tablets -- including the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 used for this review -- still run Android 3.1, and that the 3.2 update adds very little to the 3.1 version: a zoom mode for better display of smartphone apps and better apps-sizing support for 7-inch tablets.

About Us
The origin of Hartway Motors dates back to the era of the Great Depression. Frank Payjack started Payjack Motors across the street from the current location in 1932. The post war boom of the late 40's found Franks small facility cramped, so he moved the dealership to its current location: a state of the art, 8 bay facility, in 1950. With two son in laws involved, Frank retired in 1965. Jack Botsford and Chuck Hartway assumed ownership until 1982, when Botsford sold his share to Hartway.
The new millennium finds the third generation managing the dealership. Lisa Hartway-Enderby is the President and Dealer Principal, Bridget Hartway-DiCureia is the Vice President and Office Manager, and Richard Hartway is the Secretary Treasurer and Parts Manager

Article posted on Jun 8
I solved my problem from a few months ago with my iPhone and iPad not being able to get IPv6 info. It was actually a combination of two problems.
Last year I bought a Netgear N750DB router as an access point to replace my Linksys WRT54GL. Turns out the N750DB will send multicast traffic from a wireless device back to itself. This breaks IPv6 Duplicate Address Detection (DAD), and I was also seeing problems on my Ubuntu laptop. So I went back to the WRT54GL, and while stateless autconfiguration started working on the laptop again, it was still not working on the iPhone and iPad.
The second part was the iOS devices needed to be rebooted. No idea why, but after a hard reboot, they started pulling RA (and DHCPv6, which I had configured in the meantime). I've since bought a Linksys E4200 v1 to replace the N750DB, and everything is now working great.
Note that it's actually hard to tell when iOS has an IPv6 address. There are literally no IPv6 options in iOS, and the IPv6 address itself is not displayed anywhere. The only hint is in the network config page. If you have a DHCPv6 server or giving out RDNSS via RAs, the IPv6 nameserver and/or domain will show up in "DNS" and "Search Domains", though will likely be cut off. The only OS-level way to get meaningful IPv6 address/route information is a utility app called IPv6 Toolkit ($2 but worth it in this case). You can also go to a web site like vsix.us (which of course I wrote) to see what your IP address is.
Note that even after fixing my AP and rebooting my devices, when I went to vsix.us in Safari, it was still preferring v4 over v6. I was able to solve that by clearing all cached info in Safari.
Well, appearantly there are more wireless devices who 'backfire' IP traffic... I had been tearing my hair out for the past days why IPv6 wouldn't work stable; after each reboot/network restart my Linux server would insist it had a 'dadfailed' on my local network.
So, after reading your comment I turned off my Belkin wireless access point: voila, no more duplicate addresses! Turned it on again: problem is back.
That was really the last place I would have looked for this... So thanks for the hint.
Interesting. For the vsix sites I show an ip4 address unless I go ipv6 only. Test-ipv6 shows both but says mobile safari prefers ipv6.
I need to read this post on a bigger screen as it may help me find out why a time capsule doesn't pick up RAs from another that is publishing them for a domain. That's how this ios6 device got one.
