In a cost-saving move precipitated by federal budget cuts, the Federal Aviation Administration has announced plans to close the air traffic control tower at Groton-New London Airport and five other Connecticut airports, effective April 7.
In response, Connecticut's federal delegation released a joint statement Thursday, saying it would continue efforts to reverse the sequester and work toward a bipartisan compromise to avoid " these arbitrary across-the-board cuts that threaten to cause job losses in industries throughout the Connecticut economy."
"This move, which is entirely preventable, will have a direct impact on the residents employed by these airports who could lose their jobs, the local economies that rely on these facilities and the safety of our airports," according to the statement signed by U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, U.S. Sen. Christopher Murphy and members of Congress from all five districts: John Larson, Joe Courtney, Rosa DeLauro, Jim Himes and Elizabeth Esty.
Along with Groton-New London, other airports to be affected are Sikorsky Memorial, Danbury Municipal, Hartford-Brainard, Tweed-New Haven and Waterbury-Oxford airports.
Airport users, interviewed last week when the FAA announced more than $600 million in cuts, furloughs and closing of controls towers at smaller airports across the country, said the lack of a tower presented a safety issue. State officials said the loss of the tower would serve to slow air traffic across the country.
Groton-New London Airport had 35,680 takeoffs and landings last year and about 550 full- and part-time personnel at the airport, including workers at the Connecticut National Guard's helicopter repair facility, airport manager Catherine L. Young has said. It is one of six operated by the Connecticut Airport Authority, and one of three state-run airports with control towers manned by private companies contracted by the FAA. The others are Hartford-Brainard and Waterbury Oxford, according to the state Airport Authority. The Groton control tower is manned daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
While it does not have commercial flights, Groton's airport is host to the helicopter repair facility, the 1109th Theater Aviation Sustainment Maintenance Group.
Groton-based submarine builder Electric Boat also has regular shuttles from Groton-New London Airport to both Washington, D.C., and Newport News, Va.

Product Description
From Amazon
Benjamin Franklin, writes journalist and biographer Walter Isaacson, was that rare Founding Father who would sooner wink at a passer-by than sit still for a formal portrait. What's more, Isaacson relates in this fluent and entertaining biography, the revolutionary leader represents a political tradition that has been all but forgotten today, one that prizes pragmatism over moralism, religious tolerance over fundamentalist rigidity, and social mobility over class privilege. That broadly democratic sensibility allowed Franklin his contradictions, as Isaacson shows. Though a man of lofty principles, Franklin wasn't shy of using sex to sell the newspapers he edited and published; though far from frivolous, he liked his toys and his mortal pleasures; and though he sometimes gave off a simpleton image, he was a shrewd and even crafty politician. Isaacson doesn't shy from enumerating Franklins occasional peccadilloes and shortcomings, in keeping with the iconoclastic nature of our time--none of which, however, stops him from considering Benjamin Franklin "the most accomplished American of his age," and one of the most admirable of any era. And heres one bit of proof: as a young man, Ben Franklin regularly went without food in order to buy books. His example, as always, is a good one--and this is just the book to buy with the proceeds from the grocery budget. --Gregory McNamee
From Publishers Weekly
Following closely on the heels of Edmund Morgan's justly acclaimed Benjamin Franklin, Isaacson's longer biography easily holds its own. How do the two books differ? Isaacson's is more detailed; it lingers over such matters as the nature of Franklin's complex family circumstances and his relations with others, and it pays closer attention to each of his extraordinary achievements. Morgan's is more subtle and reflective. Each in its different way is superb. Isaacson (now president of the Aspen Institute, he is the former chairman of CNN and a Henry Kissinger biographer) has a keen eye for the genius of a man whose fingerprints lie everywhere in our history. The oldest, most distinctive and multifaceted of the founders, Franklin remains as mysterious as Jefferson. After examining the large body of existing Franklin scholarship as skillfully and critically as any scholar, Isaacson admits that his subject always "winks at us" to keep us at bay-which of course is one reason why he's so fascinating. Unlike, say, David McCullough's John Adams, which seeks to restore Adams to public affection, this book has no overriding agenda except to present the story of Franklin's life. Unfortunately, for all its length, it's a book of connected short segments without artful, easy transitions So whether this fresh and lively work will replace Carl Van Doren's beloved 1938 Benjamin Franklin in readers' esteem remains to be seen.

Top Customer Reviews
In particular, I admired how Isaacson explored the nature of Franklin's religious belief, letting Franklin speak for himself on what he felt man's duty to God and his neighbor consisted of. I also appreciated the seriousness with which Isaacson dealt with Franklin's often underappreciated scientific achievements, clarifying just how beneficial the effects of his experiments with lightning and electricity were almost immediately (within a very short time, many lives were saved around the world just because of Franklin's lightning rod, etc.). Lastly, as readers of Franklin's autobiography know, he was very funny, and I was glad that Isaacson allowed that charm and humor to be displayed.
Edmund S. Morgan's recent biography of Franklin, for all its strengths, has to take second place to Isaacson's outstanding book. I know this review probably sounds like it was written by Walter Isaacson himself under a pseudonym or something, but the truth is, I can't really think of a single criticism to make of this one.
We all have our pre-conceived notions of Franklin, including him out flying his kite to try and link electricity with lightning, or him dozing off during the lengthy and tedious deliberations at the Constitutional Convention. Isaacson peels back the layers of the story a bit, reminding us how often our vision of Franklin derives from Franklin's own pen, such as the vision of the young teen arriving in Philadelphia with loaves of bread, looking ridiculous as he passed by the window of his future wife (a scene written by Franklin at age 65 when he penned his autobiography).
The book does a very good job not only of recounting the many accomplishments of Franklin, but also of exploring his middle class ideals and values. For example, Isaacson's book reminds us that while Franklin was never terribly pious or religious throughout his life, he favored organized religion because churches encouraged citizens to behave well, and to do good things. There was always a sense of pragmatism and public service in everything Franklin did and believed in. As a publisher, if he thought a public policy or official was wrong and needed to be criticized publicly, he would invent characters (to avoid libel suits) to write humorous and sometimes scathing attacks that were basically anonymous.
The book also dwells repeatedly on the Franklin's love and admiration of the middle class as the real core of American society.Read more ›
Walter Isaacson, formerly CNN Chairman and Time Magazine Editor, provides us with a 590 page portrait of the Founding Father who winks at us. This revolutionary leader prized pragmatics, religious tolerance and social mobility. Isaacson pictures a man with a vision for his new country that was based on middle class virtues and values. He pictures a man instinctively comfortable with the strength and wisdom of the country's shopkeepers.
He pictures a man who based his morality on leading a "good" life, serving his country and on the belief that salvation would be achieved by good works.
Franklin was a complex person. And Isaacson succeeds in drawing lessons from his life that are more complex that those usual drawn by founding father's foes and fans. I, for one, am grateful author had the time to thoughtfully explore them. These lessons are as vital today as they were during the revolutionary time in which Benjamin Franklin lived.
This book was a fascinating read that reintroduced me to the American Ideal that has probably been largely forgotten. A man like Franklin could only have existed and thrived in America. The principles he practiced, and the freedoms he loved, are the ones many of us hold dear today, though we largely take them for granted.
Franklin was the epitome of the Renaissance Man - scientist, philosopher, writer, politician - he touched on many subjects and excelled in them all. What an amazing sight it must have been to witness the meeting of Franklin and Virgil in Paris, as this novel describes.
After reading this book I immediately began reading other books about the Founding Fathers. A great read!

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP)-- Kansas legislators have passed a bill
limiting how many violent sexual predators can be housed in a
single county while they're waiting to be released from custody.
The measure blocks a plan from Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to expand
a treatment program for predators awaiting release at Osawatomie
State Hospital.
The number of such predators would be capped at eight per county
_ the exact number now living in Osawatomie.
Sebelius spokeswoman Beth Martino said Wednesday that the
governor will carefully study the bill.
The House approved the measure last week. The Senate passed it
unanimously Tuesday, after approving the same proposal in a
different bill earlier.

Due to their wide ranging side effects as well as their ambiguous status, many people especially athletes and bodybuilders avoid using steroids.
Luckily, with so much research and innovations taking place in medicine, there are some legal anabolic steroids available in the market that you may want to use.
It is important to know the type and kind of legal anabolic steroids that you can buy. But first you must understand the difference between normal steroids and their alternatives.
Steroid Alternatives
Steroids are hormones that are expected to increase endurance especially within athletes. These steroids include anabolic ones that have adverse effect on human health.
Steroid alternatives, on the other hand, are drugs similar to steroids including natural anabolic. They do not have the same damaging chemical formula as their counterparts.
As they do not contain hormones or other testosterones, these steroid alternatives are not detrimental to human health and are thus considered legal.
One of the advantages of using steroid alternatives is, unlike regular steroids, they take less time to work within the human body and then flush out as quickly as possible.
Authorities working in various countries help in approving, manufacturing and regulating such steroids. Doctors and other health practitioners also encourage the use of such alternatives.
These legal steroid alternatives can easily be shipped worldwide and at cheaper prices. But these drugs are checked at customs office and depending upon the rules prevalent within your country; they might not be allowed to reach you.
There are a large variety of commonly known steroid alternatives that people use. Some of these common legal anabolic steroids are listed below.
This steroid alternative functions as a hormone by generating testosterones which enhance the muscles and energy levels within the body.
Dianabol / D-Bal
Dianabol is one of the commonly known legal anabolic steroids that help in muscle building. It is an alternative for Methandrostenolone.
This steroid allows Nitrogen to stay in your muscles for longer periods of time providing your body with increased strength and size.
It shows results really quickly and eventually boost your body mass. You can take this steroid orally without any sort of injections.
It helps in strengthening human body and the immune system by inducing energy. It also helps in enhancing body mass due to muscle growth.
If you are looking for a greater muscle growth then a similar alternative can be used which is commonly known as 19-Androstenediol.
Anadrol is an alternative for Oxymethalone and is used for bulking and strengthening purposes. It regulates the amount of oxygen within the blood.
When the oxygen transports in a better way, your RBCs, strength, energy and stamina improve. The fatigue you experience after workout also reduces. It can easily be taken orally.
Bodybuilding supplements shop: Anabolic Steroids For Sale
Testosterone Max
This alternative works as a Testosterone booster that is it enhances the production of one of the essential hormones in the body the testosterone.
This way this steroid alternative helps in increasing the strength and mass of body muscles. It also improves the recovery time that is the time required by the body to get back to its normal state after a rigorous workout.
If you live in United States then there a few commonly known types of legal steroids including Anavar, Cypionate and Propionate etc.
Interestingly, there are some natural anabolics that can be taken by athletes and bodybuilder to increase their body mass and performance.
These natural ones do not have any hormonal or steroidal impacts on the body and can thus be used as steroid alternatives.
Methoxyisoflavone and ipriflavone are renowned natural anabolic flavones (a compound 2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one) with a lot of advantages. They reduce fat, increase muscle growth and enhance anabolism.
Whether or not a certain steroid alternative is legal, depends on what the formula of such an alternative is and how it impacts human health.
All steroids are given this label as they are manufactured legally under the supervision of various health authorities.
It must be remembered that different countries have different rules and regulations regarding the use of steroid and their alternatives which must be followed.
It is also important to obtain these steroids via a legal channel. So, it is always good to check with a legal and professional health organization before using a certain alternative.
In most developed countries like USA you need a prescription for using legal anabolic steroids. Using the wrong alternatives without prior knowledge might adversely affect your health.
If used properly, these alternatives can help athletes and bodybuilders fulfill the desires of bodybuilding and increased game performance.
It must be noted that great results cannot be achieved by using legal anabolic steroids only. You should pair your diet and daily workout in a way that can help you in achieving great results.

"ADD in adults is turning out to be among the most impairing disorders seen in outpatient mental health clinics in terms of the number of major life activities that it adversely affects and the severity with which it impacts each of them. One such domain is that of money management. In this first-ever book devoted to the impact of adult ADD on one's financial life, the authors do a masterful job of both providing a review of the most common problem areas adults with ADD are likely to experience as well as a richly detailed set of recommendations for how best to try and resolve those problems. The book will be of tremendous benefit to not only adults with ADD, but their spouses/partners, parents or other family members, and clinicians who routinely specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of ADD in adults."
Russell A. Barkley, PhD, clinical professor of psychiatry at Medical University of South Carolina and research professor of psychiatry at SUNY Upstate Medical University
"The guidelines and inventories in this self-help manual can enable people with ADD to make the most of their treatment. While medicine improves core symptom problems, these financial management skills can further reduce ADD consequences and impairments."

The Moose: "Pub Grub" Moose Bar Tip by mpanizza
Moose Bar, Paris: 1 reviews and 1 photos
OK so i know it's not French food, but sometimes you just need good ole fashioned pub grub. The Moose dishes out some of the best in Paris. Located just a couple streets away from the Odeon metro stop on the Left Bank, this Canadian bar is a welcome respite for non cafe culture types like me. It's a bit pricey, but hey so is the whole city. Get to know the great bar tenders too (Merrit and Casey if they're still around).
Address: 16 Rue des Quatre Vents, 75006
Price Comparison: about average

I've heard the phrase, "the exception that proves the rule," but it's not clear to me what it means. It sounds self contradictory. What is a good example of "an exception that proves the rule?" Can this phrase be used effectively in formal dialog, or is it only colloquial?
Sign up

The least stupid usage I have encountered for this phrase -- no real idea whether it's actually to do with its origins -- is when a rule expresses a tendency or preference rather than a hard-and-fast delineation, and the difficulty encountered in going against that tendency demonstrates the force of the rule.
A random example might be a rule that "bears do not dance". The amazing Dr. Florenheimer trains a bear to dance in his traveling circus. This forms an exception to the rule, but the years that it took Dr. Florenheimer to train the bear, along with the expense and injuries to staff, make it an exception that "proves" the rule, in some sense -- at the least, proving that it may not be violated lightly.
The phrase has its origin in the law. It means that a law written in broad terms but provided with an exceptions for some special case is properly understood broadly because the authors of the law saw fit to make a special exception for special cases.
is a very broad rule that make no allowance for special cases, and one might see fit to interpret it with some leniency, perhaps allowing ambulances, police cars and early morning deliveries to venues in the park.
On the other hand
shows that the author has explicitly considered what special cases might merit an exception, so the rule should be interpreted broadly, and delivery vehicles excluded.
The existence of the exception proves that the author meant what he or she said and that the rule applies to cases not excepted.
This is a widely misunderstood and often badly used phrase, commonly said to confirm something in the face of contradictory evidence:
When used in this way, it essentially means "I don't care about what you just said, I'm sticking to my interpretation of the facts." (Also, this is the only way I've ever actually heard it used.)
I don't think that the saying should be used in a formal setting because of its widely understood meaning of ignoring some contradictory data.
The version I heard is that if there is an exception to a rule, then there most likely is a rule stating the opposite of the exception in the first place.
For example if you have "Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol" then most likely drinking alcohol isn't forbidden in general. Since the exception for minors would be superfluous if nobody were allowed to drink.
Or if certain drugs is allowed for medical use, then this is the exception to the rule that those drugs are not allowed in general.
We are not talking about strict logic here, but more about perceptions, rules of thumb and colloquial generalizations. The phrase "proves the rule" is not ment in a strict logical sense, rather it is meant to convey that some generalization or rule of thumb tends to be supported, not by an exception alone but by our reaction to the exception.
My understanding is that the phrase comes from law. In many cases the extent and limits of a law are not clear until a court case challenges the law and a court decision is handed down which effectively "draws the line", saying that the law does not apply beyond this point.
Apparently in some cases/jurisdictions certain types of laws are not really considered valid until such a court case is decided, and that then is the "exception" that "proves" (makes valid) the "rule" (law).
(No, I don't have a reference for this, but I read it from a reasonably reputable source about 20-30 years back.)
Earlier this month, pixelperfect asked What do you call a minor flaw in a work that makes you realize how perfect/flawless it is otherwise? —
I believe that this captures the spirit of the common usage of the phrase "the exception that proves the rule".
It's a play on the proverb "there's an exception to every rule" Wiktionary.
It follows from that proverb that no rule can be correct until you have found an exception to it. That is the exception that proves the rule.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jan 29th, 2010
Running Time: 174 Min.
Director: Dan O'Connell
Company: Girlfriends Films, Inc.
DVD Extras: None
Cast: Zoe Britton, Prinzzess Felicity Jade, Evie Delatosso, RayVeness, Ashlyn Rae, Faye Reagan, Victoria White
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Curvy corset cuties and more!
The plot thickens with most of the same cast as the first Pin-Up Girls, as the strict RayVeness wants to prevent the adorable Ashlyn Rae from hanging with smokers, dopers and guys who want to fuck her. So it's much more erotic when her school pal Faye Reagan (here dressed as a cheerleader, but so versatile she also gets cast as MILFs) and Ashlyn break off into a lustful array of young lesbian love. OK, it's a hot scene.
The '50s theme is most evident in RayVeness' two scenes, first a seductive dream sequence with Zoe Britton and then a MILFy hook-up with big-boobed Evie Delatoso, four nice natural boobs a bonus.
Blonde Prinzzess, already a Girlfriends Films favorite, plays young and naïve in her scene with Victoria White, whose pussy-eating skills are evident.

Tetanus (Lockjaw)
General information about tetanus, including symptoms, complications, tests, and treatment.

What is tetanus?
Tetanus, also called lockjaw, is a disease caused by bacteria that affects the body's muscles and nerves.
What are the symptoms of tetanus?
Symptoms of tetanus include muscle spasms in the jaw, difficulty swallowing, and stiffness or pain in the muscles of the neck, shoulders, or back. The spasms can spread to the muscles of the abdomen, upper arms, and thighs.
What health problems does tetanus cause?
Most healthy children and adult recover from tetanus though the disease causes a serious prolonged illness. Approximately 11% of reported cases of tetanus are fatal. In the U.S., where 50 or fewer cases of tetanus occur each year, deaths are more likely to occur in persons 60 years of age and older. Other possible health problems from tetanus include spasm of the vocal cords, fractures of the spine or long bones, high blood pressure, infection, lung clots, and pneumonia.
How is tetanus diagnosed?
Symptoms usually confirm the diagnosis of tetanus. There is no laboratory test for tetanus.
Who gets tetanus?
Tetanus can occur in people who have a skin or deep tissue wound or puncture and have not been vaccinated.
Is there a vaccine for tetanus?
Yes. The tetanus vaccination is usually combined with diphtheria and/or pertussis (DTaP, DT, Tdap, or Td).
- Children should get 5 doses of the DTaP vaccine before age 7.
- These are usually given at 2, 4, 6, and 15-18 months of age and 4 - 6 years of age.
- The 4th dose may be given as early as 12 months of age.
- Tdap should be given to children at 11-12 years of age.
- Adults should get a booster every 10 years. The next booster should be Tdap.
- All non-pregnant women of childbearing age should receive Tdap vaccine if they are not already immune.
- Pregnant women who do not have immunity should be receive a Td before their baby is born.
Note: Being immune means having received a primary series of at least three shots and a booster within the past 10 years.
How is tetanus spread?
Tetanus cannot be spread from person to person. The only way to get tetanus is from a skin wound that becomes contaminated by the tetanus bacteria, which is often found in soil.
The period between exposure to the bacteria and onset of illness is usually 8 days, but can range from 3 to 21 days.
When and for how long is a person able to spread tetanus?
Tetanus cannot be spread from person to person.
What can be done to prevent the spread of tetanus?
Vaccination is the best way to prevent tetanus. Widespread immunization against tetanus is critical to controlling the disease.
Floods and Tetanus: Do we need to get any shots?There is usually no increased risk of getting vaccine-preventable diseases, like tetanus or hepatitis A, during a flood. However, those working in clean up may be wounded and exposed to soil that contains the bacteria that causes tetanus. Most people get a tetanus shot that is combined with vaccines for diphtheria and pertussis. Children should have a basic series of four tetanus shots at 2-18 months of age and should receive booster shots at 4-6 years and 11-12 years. Adults should get a tetanus booster shot every 10 years.
If you get a puncture wound and you haven't had a tetanus shot in the last five years, or you can't remember when you got your last one, or you never got a basic childhood series of at least three shots, ask your doctor if you should get a tetanus shot now.

Use our calculator to estimate what impact the latest changes to superannuation will have on your savings.

Postponing the increase in the superannuation guarantee will improve the budget over most of the next decade, but will lead to longer-term retirement savings challenges.
With the postponement, many of us will retire with less.
So what should the Government do to promote retirement adequacy? The obvious two options are to encourage voluntary super contributions and to increase net returns on the money super funds invest.

Australian workers will be "demonstrably worse off" under the Federal Government's deal to scrap the mining tax, the superannuation industry says.
Yesterday the Federal Government announced that compulsory increases to super contributions would be put on hold until 2021 as part of a deal to secure Clive Palmer's support for the mining tax repeal.
Treasurer Joe Hockey labelled it a "damn good deal" for the Australian people, but Industry Super Australia chief David Whiteley says a 25-year-old on average earnings "could retire with $100,000 less" because of the change.
Former Labor PM Paul Keating has joined the attack, calling the super freeze an "appalling" decision.

David Whiteley from Industry Super Australia says the Government's freezing of compulsory super increases will be bad for people on lower incomes.

For a Government struggling to get something - anything! - through the Senate, today's deal to repeal the mining tax must come as a relief.
But is it good for the Government in the long term? The end of the school kids bonus has only been deferred. It will now be on the chopping block in an election year.
But it's the cuts to superannuation that are the real sting in the tail.

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten says millions of people will be worse off if the Government's compulsory superannuation changes get through Parliament.

Our retirement income system is now skewed so heavily towards the wealthy in our society that we're not just at risk of going nowhere, we risk going backwards.
People on the highest incomes have come to see the beneficial tax treatment of their superannuation as an entitlement, while the more vulnerable lose out.
These issues matter because they go to the heart of human dignity. Australians are entitled to incomes sufficient for a dignified life.

Is it possible to either remove or replace the brackets around the category post counts?
I thought I did this in WP 1.2 but I might be thinking back even further when I was using MT.
Is it possible to either remove or replace the brackets around the category post counts?
I thought I did this in WP 1.2 but I might be thinking back even further when I was using MT.
If this is for list_cats (or wp_list_cats), then you can only change them by editing the source, since they're hardcoded.
In wp-includes/template-functions-category.php near the end of the file (line 243 in 1.5.1), look for this code black (line 348 in 1.5.1):
if (intval($optioncount) == 1) {
$link .= ' ('.intval($category_posts["$category->cat_ID"]).')';
Just modify ' (' and ')' in the $link string.
When editing source code, backup up any files you're working on, and comment your changes for future reference.
Worked like a dream. Thank you.
Didn't want to start another thread to ask this - is there anyway to remove the post count completely? I tried modifying the code but kept getting errors.
Managed to work around it by setting 'if (intval($optioncount) == 1)' to 'if (intval($optioncount) == 0)', but I'd prefer to remove it if possible.
hi alex--
is this helpful?
Just change the call in your theme template:
wp_list_cats() and/or list_cats()
Edit: Damn, I must type slow. :P
Just follow the links above and check the info on the 'optioncount' parameter. You're probably setting this in your template tag (since it's off by default).
I changed the template-functions-category.php back to normal and turned off optioncount in the theme. Works perfectly now, thanks for that! (Promise I'll check the Wiki next time - ended up ignoring it because the text was scrambled in Safari, time to use Firefox methinks)
It might be a good idea to enable a GUI interface to change these settings in Admin CP.
This is a beautiful piece of "software", and I'm sure many would rather be able to know their modifications will work, rather than risk losing it all (assuming they dont backup).

NJ man admits to cocaine saleApril 10,2014WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A reputed member of the Jersey Boys drug gang was released from jail Tuesday night with credit for time served after pleading guilty to selling cocaine last year in Springfield.
Joseph Black Atkinson, 19, entered his plea in White River Junction criminal court in exchange for a one-year sentence.
In February 2013 a woman told police that Atkinson and two other teenagers from New Jersey barged into her house, took a safe with more than $4,000 in it, and forced her at gunpoint to give them a ride to Springfield.
Much of the case against Atkinson and the other two was thrown out when a judge suppressed large parts of the evidence from the traffic stop in which they were arrested and the subsequent police investigation.
The charge remaining in Atkinsons plea deal involved selling $100 worth of crack cocaine to a police informant in Springfield.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

8 Exceptional Places To Visit In The US For Less
Flickr/Ariane MiddelWhether you're the type of traveler who loves to plan ahead or someone who prefers more spontaneous adventures, knowing when to visit some of America's most iconic destinations is almost as important as where -- especially if you'd like to get the most for your money.
Simply going in the offseason isn't good enough, especially if you want to enjoy the major highlights that make a city or national park enjoyable, says Anne Banas, executive editor of SmarterTravel.com. For example, while rates for New England's beaches are lower in the winter, many of the crab and fish shacks will be closed, she says -- so no lobster roll for you.
"You want to be able to do all the things you want to do and still get a good deal," she says. "You have to find that right combination."
Read on to get some expert tips about the best times to visit some of the country's top tourist attractions without splurging too much.

Since the mechanisms of an operating system can significantly affect the performance of parallel programs, it is important to customize operating system functionality for specific application programs. The authors first present a model for adaptive objects and the associated mechanisms, then they use this model to implement adaptive locks for multiprocessors which adapt themselves according to user-provided adaptation policies to suit changing application locking patterns. Using a parallel branch and bound program, they demonstrate the performance advantage of adaptive locks over existing locks

War On Women Continues: Ohio Revives Extreme Anti-Abortion Bill
Last year, anti-choice advocates in Ohio pushed extreme legislation to ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected — which often occurs as early as six weeks, before many women may even know they're pregnant. So-called "heartbeat" bills like HB 125 are so radical that they often divide the anti-abortion community, and this particular legislation has been stalled in the Ohio Senate since June 2011.
But now, thanks to significant pressure from the anti-choice groups who were the biggest proponents of the heartbeat bill last year, HB 125 may be up again for consideration in Ohio's Senate as early as next week:
Mired in the Ohio Senate since June 2011, HB 125 is getting another look, Senate President Tom Niehaus, R-New Richmond, told The Enquirer Thursday. He said a substitute bill is being prepared. […]
[Anti-abortion group Faith2Action] took aim at Niehaus and other legislators, including Sen. Shannon Jones, R-Springboro, trying to pressure them into moving the bill. They and other legislators were inundated with telephone calls, emails and post cards from supporters of the bill. TV ads, billboards and even an airplane circling the statehouse dragging a sign targeted legislators. […]
Niehaus said he set conditions for reconsidering the bill. He would not say what those conditions are or whether the bill's proponents had met them. That's what he's going to consider next week, he said.
If passed, Ohio's bill would be the most restrictive abortion ban in the nation — far surpassing a bill in Arizona that currently earns that unfortunate distinction by banning abortions after 20 weeks. HB 125 would criminalize all abortions after the fetal heartbeat is detected without even the narrowest exceptions in cases of rape, incest, or the mental health of the woman.
Kellie Copeland, the executive director of Naral Pro-Choice Ohio, told the Cincinnati Enquirer that her organization was anticipating the Senate would take up HB 125 during this fall's lame duck session. But she noted that this week's election results are a clear indicator that voters reject radical anti-abortion legislation.
"Voters in Ohio and across the country clearly rejected this anti-choice agenda, the ability of women to make their own private medical decisions," Copeland said. "That they would attempt these kind of major attacks less than a week after the election just shows that they don't care what voters have to say. It's their extremist agenda and voter sentiments be damned."
The heartbeat bill isn't the only anti-choice measure up for consideration in Ohio next week. A Planned Parenthood affiliate in Ohio notes that the Ohio House Health Committee has also scheduled a vote next week on a bill that would defund Planned Parenthood clinics in the state.

Cardinals lose a tight Game 1
It's been a theme for the Cardinals all season. Missed opportunities. The most glaring from this afternoon being a bases loaded situation in the bottom of the seventh with no outs. Ground balls from Allen Craig and Yadier Molina ended the inning without the Cardinals scoring to extend their 2-1 lead. At that point, the momentum swung firmly in the direction of the Nationals. In the top of the eighth, … Continue reading

AMARILLO (January 15, 2014) Google Inc. says it will invest $75 million more in Texas wind farms as the tech giant expands its renewable energy efforts.
California-based Google announced an agreement has been finalized for the Panhandle 2 wind turbine site in Carson County, near Amarillo.
The Google statement says the facility, developed by Pattern Energy Group LP, should have the capacity to generate enough renewable energy to power 56,000 U.S. homes.
Company officials say they expect the facility to be in operation by late 2014.
Panhandle 2 is Google's 15th renewable energy investment and the company's second in Texas.
A year ago, Google announced a $200 million investment in another Texas Panhandle wind farm, the Spinning Spur Wind Project in Oldham County, about 35 miles from Amarillo.
