Games are a wonderful way to learn a whole range of subjects and are one of my absolute passions. They provide a great opportunity to interact in the real world or online, improve your mental agility and acquire new knowledge.
Even games that don't appear to be 'educational' in nature often help children (or adults) to learn the connections between things and to gradually develop skills, whether it's spatial awareness, forward planning, reading or a less tangible skill.
Competitiveness is a natural part of the world (look at evolution and the 'survival of the fittest) and I personally have nothing against it when it's in a game, however there's also plenty of room in the world for co-operation and indeed it's essential that people and nations learn to co-operate together more effectively for a whole myriad of reasons. Younger children are also often easily upset by losing or feeling that something's not fair (perhaps because an older sibling keeps winning) and while these are all part of life's learning experiences, it's great to have some co-operative games to play.
Co-operative Games
It's possible to turn many games into co-operative games by aiming for the highest TOTAL score of all players, rather than having a score each. For example, if you're playing Scrabble, then you can just have a single score and aim to get the biggest possible, for example, by opening up Triple Letter spaces for other players. Another co-operative version of Scrabble is that you can aim to finish the game as quickly as possible. Set a timer at the start of it, don't score at all and simply play as fast as you possibly can until the game is finished.
Carcassonne and other strategy game also have a good balance between co-operation and competition, as you have to work together to build castles, roads, fields and abbeys, however there's also competition to build your own structures. In Carcassonne this balance between co-operation and competition is an accurate reflection of life.
Role-Playing Games
Dungeons and Dragons and other role-playing games are also co-operative, where one player (the Games Master, or Dungeon Master) creates the world, monsters, allies, objects, treasure, scenario, etc. or uses a vast range of pre-made books to create these and the players then each choose a character and are responsible for that character's actions only, with dice (often 20 sided) thrown to determine the outcome of fights, spells and other events.
Role-playing allows players to work together, use their imaginations creatively, work out riddles and solve the overall adventure.
Crossword puzzles (like those linked to on the left) are a good way of keeping the brain active and studies have shown that if you do crosswords or other word games on a regular basis, you're more likely to not get Alzheimers or other similar illnesses. Crosswords or other knowledge games such as Trivial Pursuit are also a good way to acquire general knowledge in a fun and relaxed way.

Gators coach Billy Donovan is among a growing number of college basketball coaches who use advanced basketball research as a tool.
When Florida plays Savannah State on Sunday at the O'Connell Center, eyes will be fixed on freshman point guard Kasey Hill racing down the court on a fast break or senior forward Casey Prather skying for a highlight-reel dunk.
But in the days leading up to the game, a group of student managers, video coordinators and staff members will chart each possession in practice, searching for trends to give the No. 13 Gators any advantage possible.
Florida coach Billy Donovan is among a growing number of college basketball coaches who use advanced basketball research metrics as a tool. But Donovan said he tries not to get too lost in the numbers.
"I've always been a big statistical guy, a big numbers guy," Donovan said. "I kind of like that. But I think you also have to look at numbers-wise what actually makes sense to share with your team."
For instance, Donovan found Prather's plus-minus ratio, which compared points scored for the Gators to points scored against UF when the 6-foot-6 forward was on the floor, was higher when he played at the power forward position. Conventional wisdom would have had Prather subbing for Mike Rosario last season and playing small forward. But Donovan often subbed Prather for Erik Murphy instead.
"I'll take different lineups, what's our best defensive lineup, what we think is our best defensive lineup, what works in games, what's our worst, what's our best offensive lineup, what's our worst," Donovan said. "Where is a guy like Casey Prather most effective? Where is his plus-minus chart most effective? Is that the small forward or power forward spot? I like looking at all of those numbers, just more than anything else, it forces me to think and evaluate."
The roots of Florida's advanced statistical analysis date back to 2004 when former Florida assistant coach Larry Shyatt charted hustle stats. Florida assistant coach Matt McCall, then the head student manager for the Gators, was among those who kept tabs on deflections, charges and steals.
"Interesting his first year, we had that class with (Joakim) Noah, (Al) Horford, (Corey) Brewer and all those guys, like Horford and Brewer, would win the hustle stats every week and those guys played," McCall said. "Those guys started as freshmen, so it was kind of a direct correlation."
McCall said the Gators have tweaked the hustle chart over the years, while adding assist-to-turnover ratio analysis, offensive efficiency ratings and defensive efficiency ratings.
"That's obviously points per possession," McCall said. "Especially on defense, we really look at it a lot."
Last season, Florida ranked first in the Southeastern Conference in points per possession on offense (1.14 scored) and defense (0.85 allowed). Not surprisingly, the Gators won the SEC with a 14-4 league record and reached the Elite Eight with a 29-8 overall record.
While Florida's 54.4 points allowed per game ranked third nationally, its 0.85 points allowed per possession was second in the nation behind Stephen F. Austin (.82).
"We were second in the country last year in DPR (defensive possession rating), and we were third in the 10 years in that rating," McCall said. "The only team that was higher than us was Louisville."
Florida enters the Savannah State game 45th in the nation in points per possession (.95). Several factors have contributed to the dropoff, including the early season suspension of Scottie Wilbekin, facing a tough non-conference schedule and the loss of quality perimeter defender Kenny Boynton. But Donovan has preached since October that the Gators have "a long way to go" to match their defensive effectiveness from last season. So far, the numbers have proved him right.
"Certain things our guys need to understand statistically," Donovan said. "Like, you can look at field goal percentage defense, and you can look at a stat sheet and say, 'Hey coach, this team shot 50 percent from the field, what did you think of your defensive effort?' Well, by that statistic it doesn't look great, but maybe we forced 26 turnovers which led to 20 points in transition. You are looking at every possession."
Through the work of UF video coordinator Oliver Winterbone, McCall said the Gators can also chart defensive positioning in practice.
"(We) try to break that down on film and make sure that we show them where they are supposed to be and if they are not here try to get them in the right position," McCall said.
With the amount of data at Donovan's disposal, the veteran Florida coach manages each game with a combination of number-crunching and feel.
"I've always liked looking at statistics because they make me think," Donovan said.

The campaign to legalize the medical use of marijuana in Florida is reaching a critical juncture at the same time the state's attorney general is lining up against it.
TALLAHASSEE — The campaign to legalize the medical use of marijuana in Florida is reaching a critical juncture at the same time the state's attorney general is lining up against it.
The effort is still well short of the number of valid voters' signatures needed before a referendum on a constitutional amendment can be held next year. The amendment wording also will have to clear the Florida Supreme Court.
Still, supporters say they're on track.
"Every day we get one step closer to bringing compassionate care to suffering Floridians," said Ben Pollara, the campaign manager for People United for Medical Marijuana, the group trying to get the issue on the November 2014 ballot.
Pollara's comments came in a message to supporters this week, saying the campaign has collected nearly 200,000 voter signatures, with more than 110,000 validated. Those numbers are still well short of the 683,149 valid signatures the group will need by Feb. 5 to qualify for next year's general election ballot.
On Thursday, Attorney General Pam Bondi criticized the proposed amendment in a filing to the state high court. By law, the attorney general asks the court to review proposed amendments.
The Supreme Court could throw out the amendment if it agrees with Bondi.
The Republican attorney general called the amendment misleading and told the court that, if passed by voters, the measure would allow marijuana use in limitless situations.
Bondi also said the amendment could confuse voters into thinking medical marijuana use would be allowed under federal law.
The campaign behind the amendment is planning to use professional signature gatherers to reach its goal and has already paid about $350,000 to National Voter Outreach, a Nevada company that specializes in petition signature collection, according to the most recent election reports.
Pollara said that effort will be intensifying: "A large-scale paid petition-gathering operation will resume in the coming weeks," he said.
In an interview in August, John Morgan, the Orlando trial lawyer who is the prime mover behind the constitutional amendment drive, estimated it would take about $3.5 million to get the issue before voters next year.
Morgan and his law firm have contributed about $400,000 out of the $615,000 raised this year for the campaign through the end of September, according to the state Division of Elections.
Both Morgan and Pollara said the paid campaign will be supplemented by volunteers.
"Our staff, while limited, has assembled teams of volunteers that are setting up petition-gathering events throughout the state," Pollara said. "We have literally thousands of people who have signed up to volunteer."
Morgan said the campaign is attracting volunteers "who are really passionate about this."
"How well we can coordinate them will be another story," he said.
The collection of signatures already has triggered several other events, including a review by the Florida Supreme Court of the ballot language.
Additionally, state economists have begun a formal evaluation of the proposal's potential financial impact on the state.
Among the issues the economists will be refining in a series of meetings will be whether or not marijuana will be considered an agricultural crop that could qualify for certain tax breaks, including property taxes.
Another issue is whether the marijuana sales will be subject to the state's sales tax. And they will look at the possible impact on state revenues from an increase in medical tourists who might come to the state if the treatment is available.
The economists also will be estimating the number of Floridians who might use medical marijuana.
One preliminary estimate shows that, based on California's experience, where 1.46 percent of the population uses medical marijuana, about 287,000 Floridians might use the drug. But if Florida is more like Colorado, where 2.11 percent are using medical marijuana, more than 417,000 Floridians might participate.
If the group is successful in getting enough signatures to get on the 2014 ballot, it will face opposition from groups opposing medical marijuana, although it has been approved by voters in 20 states and the District of Columbia.
The St. Petersburg-based Drug Free America Foundation warned earlier this month that the amendment would allow "abuses" in distributing medical marijuana.
Calvina Fay, executive director of the foundation, said distributing medical marijuana would be different from physicians dispensing other drugs through prescriptions. She said the amendment, if approved by 60 percent of Florida's voters, would allow physicians to "certify" marijuana use, rather than writing a formal prescription.
"This is pretty much the same unrestrictive initiative that we have seen in states like California and Colorado," Fay said in a statement. "In fact, in states where marijuana has been legalized for so-called medical purposes, the law has been abused."
She said the overwhelming majority of users of medical marijuana use it for "common ailments" such as back pain and muscle spasms and not for "debilitating diseases" such as cancer or ALS.
"If legalizing marijuana was truly about the sick, it would not be done through referenda," Fay said. "Residents of Florida need to examine the language in this initiative with a fine-tooth comb before taking a position."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Price: $34.59
Perishable product
Ingredients : Sturgeon, Salt, Brown Sugar, Natural Wood Smoke
Could Be Sliced Or Delivered Whole (Head Off) Per Customer's Order
Sturgeon and related paddlefish appeared in the fossil record approximately 200 million years ago, making them among the most ancient of actinopterygian fishes. In that time they have undergone remarkably little morphological change, indicating that their evolution has been exceptionally slow and earning them informal status as living fossils.
Sturgeon are distinctly and immediately recognizable for their elongated bodies, flattened rostra, distinctive scutes and barbels, and elongated upper tail lobes.
They are among the largest fish: some beluga in the Caspian Sea reportedly attain over 5.5 m (18 ft.) and 2000 kg (4400 lbs.) They are also probably the longest-lived of the fishes, some living well over 100 years and attaining sexual maturity at 20 years or more. The combination of slow growth and reproductive rates and the extremely high value placed on mature egg-bearing females make sturgeon particularly vulnerable to overfishing.The lake sturgeon has taste buds on and around its barbels near its rubbery, prehensile lips. It extends its lips to vacuum up soft live food which it swallows whole due to its lack of teeth.
Most species of sturgeons are currently considered to be at risk of extinction, making them more critically endangered than any other group of species.
Several species of sturgeons are harvested for their roe, which is made into caviar — a luxury food which makes some sturgeons pound for pound the most valuable of all harvested fish. This sturgeon is a source of caviar and isinglass and its oil was once used to fuel steamboats. It is also a valuable gourmet food fish.
The Jewish law of kashrut, which only permits the consumption of fish with scales, forbids sturgeon, as they have ganoid scales instead of the permitted ctenoid and cycloid scales. While all Orthodox groups forbid the consumption of sturgeon, some conservative groups do allow it. The theological debate over its kosher status can be traced back to such 19th-century reformers as Aron Chorin, though its consumption was already common in European Jewish communities.

Pointless brain teasersMarch 26th, 2010 by ftobia
A few brain teasers here and there are nice, but I am highly skeptical of those who come up with "clever" but really pedantic arguments using logic on dubious prior beliefs, with the seeming purpose of either 1) to demonstrate how clever the questioner is, or 2) to wreak havoc with the average sensible person's beliefs just to be a rabble rouser. I am, of course, referring to Steven Landsburg, who has a blog that I don't think is worthy of linking to (but check it out if you're into people calling your core beliefs into question just to make a buck). The following is my satiric stab at this curious man.
If a tree is in a quantum superposition of falling and not falling in a forest, and a countable infinity of people are around to hear it, under what special assumptions on the nature of space-time does it make a sound?
And now for the real brain teaser:
Two trees are in quantum superpositions of falling and not falling in a forest. One of these trees only lies and one only tells the truth. What is a single question you can ask one of the trees to determine which among them are falling, and, if one or both are indeed falling, whether either will make a sound? (Assume for this argument that you can ask the tree a question without collapsing its quantum state).
And yes, I know brain teasers and contrarian argumentation are different, but I thought these were funny anyway.

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Adam Wainwright matched his career high with 12 strikeouts in a five-hitter and the St. Louis Cardinals punished rookie Lucas Harrell with six runs in the first three innings, getting over an excruciating 19-inning loss two days earlier with a 7-0 victory over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night.
Skip Schumaker and Yadier Molina had two RBIs apiece for the Cardinals, who got six hits the first seven at-bats in a four-run first and then capitalized on a pair of walks to open a two-run third. Jon Jay had three hits and an RBI.
Wainwright (12-10) threw his second shutout and third complete game of the season. Two of the complete games have come during a string of six consecutive victories at home with a 1.42 ERA. He pitched a five-hitter on Aug. 4, a 6-1 victory over the Brewers.
Wainwright is 12-1 with a 1.58 ERA for his career against Houston. The Astros got two-out hits in the ninth from Justin Maxwell and Jason Castro in a bid to spoil the shutout before Wainwright fanned Ben Francisco on his 105th pitch.
The Astros have been outscored 15-1 in two games under interim manager Tony DeFrancesco, who held a team meeting prior to the game in an effort to lift the stripped-down franchise out of the doldrums. Houston is just 7-41 since June 28.
Tyler Greene, a former Cardinals first-round pick dealt to Houston earlier this year for a player to be named, struck out twice and grounded out in his first game in St. Louis as a visitor.
Harrell (10-9) had allowed two or fewer runs in each of his last seven starts, but balked home the first run and got a visit from pitching coach Doug Brocail after facing just five hitters. The right-hander retired just five of the first 15 batters before settling down, allowing a walk and sacrifice fly the last 10 hitters.
The day after their 6-3, 19-inning loss to the Pirates -- the longest game in the majors this season -- manager Mike Matheny led a delegation to help rebuild tornado-ravaged Joplin, Mo., and other Cardinals played charity golf.
Jay doubled to start the bottom of the first, and with one out St. Louis got five straight singles from Matt Holliday, Allen Craig, David Freese, Molina and Schumaker. Craig and Freese walked to start the third, Molina followed with an RBI single and Rafael Furcal added a sacrifice fly.
The Astros were shut out for the 12th time.
NOTES: Bud Norris (5-10, 5.23) is 7-3 for his career against the Cardinals heading into Wednesday night's start against Kyle Lohse (12-2, 2.61). ... Carlos Beltran, 4 for 23 on the homestand and bothered by a right hand injury, missed his second start in three games but is not expected to be out long. ... The Cardinals are 56-14 when scoring more than three runs. ... Craig had a single to extend his hitting streak to 10 games and also walked three times. ... Craig is 10 for 23 (.435) against Houston this season and 21-48 for his career with five homers and 17 RBIs.

Niagara County Legislature Majority Leader Rick Updegrove, R-Lockport, issued the following statement regarding misinformation circulating regarding the county's decision to lease a humidity and HVAC-controlled records storage facility that complies with stringent state laws and regulations for records management:
"I'm disappointed in the distortion by some of the county's decision to protect irreplaceable records, such as real estate transactions, birth certificates, adoption records, and murder investigation files at a highly-specialized facility in eastern Niagara County. The county government is committed to making the best decisions possible to protect our taxpayers. That Minority Leader (Dennis) Virtuoso is attacking this decision, however, is particularly troubling. Two years ago, Dennis Virtuoso led the charge demanding that Niagara County site the NCCC Culinary Institute in downtown Niagara Falls, and not even consider sites outside that area. But last night, when the question was siting a records management facility at a highly-specialized facility in eastern Niagara County, Dennis Virtuoso and his cronies attacked the selection process as somehow improper—even though the county fully complied with state law and its own policies. It's becoming tiresome: when Niagara Falls benefits, Dennis Virtuoso will step over any semblance of a fair, open process. But when the optimum site lies within eastern Niagara County, Dennis Virtuoso tries to scuttle progress."

Which is better, to give up on ever succeeding in raising to be a good Muslima my now 1 year old daughter from whose mother I divorced for her apostasy and who has indicated already that she may oppose attempts on my part to raise our daughter Muslima during the 1-3 whole days /week during which she and the Kaafir (non-Muslim) court system in the US allow me to spend with her; or to give up on it all as some brothers have done in similar circumstances, and make hijra (emigrate) to get ilm (knowledge) in the Muslim land and leave my daughter to almost certain ruin at the hands of the kuffar (non-Muslim) child rearing system like other brothers have done in order to make hijra for ilm in the Muslim lands
Praise be to Allaah.
I advise you to strive to bring up your daughter and never to leave her, because you are responsible for her and will be questioned about her on the Day of Resurrection. "Each of you is a shepherd and is responsible for [will be questioned about] his flock" [hadeeth]. There is another matter, which is that you will have a reward equal to hers if she is guided and does righteous deeds because of your upbringing. How could you leave the apple of your eye to someone who will lead her to the torment of Hell? Allaah says of the kuffaar (interpretation of the meaning):
"Those (Al-Mushrikoon) invite you to the Fire, but Allaah invites (you) to Paradise and forgiveness by His Leave" [al-Baqarah 2:221]
So strive to take care of your daughter, and Allaah will help you and make things easier for you. May Allaah give you strength.

Love this city as much as we do? Become a Billy Penn member today.Twin Set Dress With Ruffles White
Philadelphia basically sold out to a beer brand.
At times, the Eagles Super Bowl parade felt like a giant Bud Light commercial.
The second-most popular chant heard Thursday, after the ubiquitous E-A-G-L-E-S, was easily "Philly, Philly" — the beer brand's Eagles-inspired transliteration of its viral "Dilly, Dilly" catchphrase.
The slogan was as inescapable among the parade's crowds as the smell of weed. And if you looked up in the sky from Center City as the team made its way up Broad Street, you would've seen another reminder the city had been invaded by Bud Light. On at least two occasions, a skywriting drone penned variations on the illy-tastic jingle above attendees.
Bud Light all but ensured it would have a large presence at the parade by making good on its promise to offensive tackle Lane Johnson and offering free beers at about two dozen bars near the route. But the foreign-owned brand's prominence at the festivities was also due to a boost from Philadelphia officials.
The city played along with the brewing giant's marketing opportunity. For free.
Wednesday, in City Council quarters, a town crier from Bud Light stood next council members Mark Squilla and Bill Greenlee, talking about the beer. "Thy triumph in battle hath inspired the King," declared the medieval reenactor. "Thusly he hath made an alliance with thy Lord Mayor Jim Kenney…"
The brand ambassador's appearance at municipal chambers was hyped by an advance press release sent from the City Representative's office. The first email announcement was titled: "Photo Opportunity: Philadelphia Proclaims 'Philly Philly Day' at City Hall." Around 20 minutes later, an altered email showed up. It read in more passive fashion: "Philadelphia Receives 'Philly Philly Day' Proclamation at City Hall."
With the city's approval, Bud Light had anointed parade day "Philly Philly Day."
And for endorsing this marketing takeover, Philadelphia got nothing in return
According to the Mayor's Office, there was no quid quo pro for the reenactor's appearance. The Mayor's Office was also not aware of any donation or contribution from Bud Light or parent company AB InBev to any city fund or city-boosting nonprofit.

COBOL was designed for finance, human resources and other business computer programs. Unlike some high-level computer programming languages, COBOL uses English words and phrases to make it easier for ordinary business users to understand. The language was based on Rear Admiral Grace Hopper 's 1940s work on the FLOW-MATIC programming language, which was also largely text-based. Hopper, who worked as a technical consultant on the FLOW-MATIC project, is sometimes referred to as the "grandmother of COBOL."
Before COBOL, all operating systems had their own associated programming languages. This was a problem for companies that used multiple brands of computers, as was the case with the United States Department of Defense, which backed the COBOL project. Because of its ease of use and portability, COBOL quickly became one of the most used programming languages in the world. Although the language is widely viewed as outdated, more lines of code in active use today are written in COBOL than any other programming language.
In years immediately preceding the year 2000, COBOL skills were in high demand to prepare legacy code for . It is still commonly used at financial institutions, such as banks, and by applications used in government agencies. However, the number of programmers with COBOL experience is steadily decreasing, as those who learned COBOL while it was popular are entering retirement age. Suprisingly, COBOL is once again being taught in some universities -- this time to support

Search and insert from ChemSpider in LabTrove and other websites with TinyMCE editorsPosted by: Aileen Day in Search, Uncategorized, Vision
Copyright©2013 Aileen Day
We have previously described initial steps to integrate ChemSpider with ELNs with IDBS, and to define the elnItemManifest metadata model.
We have now also made further steps to integrate ChemSpider with Southampton University's ELN, LabTrove, following on from an eScience tool that Stephen Wan from CSIRO had developed with the University of New South Wales to text mine LabTrove ELN blog posts to identify chemical names and link these to the relevant ChemSpider compounds. LabTrove is an open source blog-based system which can be used for recording and sharing experimental findings. Previously, if an image of the compound was to be added to an experiment blog post, it would be necessary either to upload it as an image (following drawing it in a separate drawing package) or to paste in a link to the image in another website (following a separate internet search in another browser window). We have now added the ability to click a button directly when adding or editing an experiment to launch a search of ChemSpider and when the required compound is found, an image of it can be added to chemspider simply by clicking on it, as can be seen in this demonstration video:
The editing controls in LabTrove are based on TinyMCE, a WYSIWYG editor which is used in a range of blogs, including WordPress. This means that this same ChemSpider plugin can also be used to insert compound images from ChemSpider from any other blog or website that uses a TinyMCE editor too.
If you have a LabTrove installation which you would like to add the ChemSpider plugin to then simply update your installation with the latest source code from LabTrove's SourceForge website.
If you have a website or blog which uses a TinyMCE editor which you would like to add the ChemSpider plugin to then simply download this zip file, extract the folder in it and move the "chemspider" directory created to your tinymce plugins folder. Then, in your tinymce initialization process, add the plugin "chemspider" and the button "chemspider".Stumble it!

RFS volunteers beat 17 fires
AS 17 FIRES raged across the Northern Rivers over the weekend, 40 dedicated Rural Fire Service volunteers put their lives on the line for up to 12 hours a day.
But this is nothing new for these people who give their time freely according to Northern Rivers Rural Fire Service Operations Officer Daniel Ainsworth.
Mr Ainsworth said when strong winds whipped up treacherous fire conditions on Saturday and a number of hazard reduction burns got out of control, volunteers were faced with areas of bush that had not burned since the 1950s.
"They put in a phenomenal amount of hours and they are all volunteers," he said.
As the blazes raged into Sunday, fixed-wing water bombing planes were brought in to replace a water bombing helicopter used on Saturday.
Mr Ainsworth said due to the hard work of the volunteers all blazes had been contained by 9.30pm on Sunday.
"Hopefully they won't be out doing 12-hour shifts today as they are only patrolling to see that the fires are contained."
Mr Ainsworth said with the opening of the Northern Rivers Zone Fire Control Centre on Saturday they now had a state-of-the-art facility to manage the 800 volunteers, 48 brigades and 80 trucks across three local government areas.
RFS Northern Rivers zone manager Michael Brett said irresponsible landowners caused many of the blazes.
"They lit fires and subsequently they got away, out of control, well and truly out of control," he said.
"It is concerning to the service that landholders are being so irresponsible and not looking at the weather conditions."
Mr Brett said there were severe penalties for landowners who lit fires that spread to neighbouring properties.
RFS Volunteers
The forty volunteers came from brigades including:
- Grevillia
- Wiangaree
- Woodenbong
- Bonalbo
- Tabulam
- Mallanganee
- Mummulgum
- Ellangowan
- Middle Creek
- Rappville
- Myall Creek

ITU notes the recent comments made by Google in relation to the upcoming World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT-12) in Dubai.
Google has erroneously claimed that WCIT-12, which will take place in Dubai from 3-14 December, will be used as a forum to increase censorship and regulate the Internet.
The freedom of expression and the right to communicate are already enshrined in many UN and international treaties that ITU has taken into account in the establishment of its Constitution and Convention, and also its mandate by the Plenipotentiary Conference, which is the Supreme Organ of ITU. These treaties include Article 19 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
These Articles – as well as Article 33 and 34 of the ITU Constitution – clearly establish the right to communication and the limits that governments can impose on those rights.
Since the ITU Constitution prevails over the International Telecommunication Regulations (ITRs), nothing in the ITRs has the power to result in a reduction of freedom to communicate.
ITU's mandate in the Internet is laid down by the Plenipotentiary Conference Resolutions which were agreed to by consensus in 2010. Nothing can be agreed at WCIT-12 to change this mandate.
Google has also incorrectly stated, on its official website, that governments alone, working behind closed doors, should not direct the Internet's future.
The so-called closed-door meeting is however inclusive of 193 national delegations which are participating in WCIT-12. In addition, ITU is pleased to note that private sector companies and civil society organizations have registered to attend WCIT-12 in large numbers.
The United States, where Google itself is headquartered, has confirmed more than 125 people in its delegation to WCIT-12, with a large majority of these delegates representing the private sector and civil society.
It is interesting to note that Google representatives are part of the United States delegation.
We regret that Google did not take the opportunity to choose to join ITU as a member, which would have enabled it to participate in its own right in the WCIT-12 preparatory process.
The very thorough and inclusive preparatory process leading up to the WCIT-12 has been completely transparent.
At ITU, transparency is achieved at the national level, through national consultations in national languages. A process we believe more inclusive than simply posting an English language text online.
ITU firmly believes that a revised treaty can help harness the power of ICTs to deliver social and economic benefits in every nation on earth, including across every sector.
The current ITRs paved the way for today's information and communication technologies.
This includes mobile and the Internet. The revised ITRs have the exciting potential to pave the way for a broadband revolution in the 21st century.
ITU's goal is to continue enabling the Internet, as it has done since the Internet's inception.
We must keep the Internet open for business to sustain growth in the vast and inter-dependent global digital economy.

Last week the NY Times reported in its Media Decoder blog that Nielsen is rejiggering the way it tabulates ratings to include Internet connected TVs. Of course media executives are in favor of any upwards pointing tweak to the algorithm, but how much closer to reality is this making the ever dubious ratings game?
I think not much. Nielsen still isn't counting laptops, tablets, and phones. Just big, old flat screen TVs.
The new definition "will include those households who are receiving broadband Internet and putting it onto a television set," said Pat McDonough, the senior vice president for insights and analysis at Nielsen. Currently a "television set" is the flat-screen kind…
…just 0.6 percent of households in the United States meet the new description.
It's a start, but for how long are advertisers going to care about the aggregate? If everyone isn't seeing the same ads, what good is the data? And don't we already have good numbers on ads that reach viewers via IP?
To an advertiser a ratings point equals 1.1 million or so households viewing its ad. Advertisers don't really care about who viewing the surrounding content. In the age of the DVR, VOD, and TV over IP, that's not just semantics. The discrepancy between eyes on the content and eyes on the ad can be significant.
According to Wikipedia, the number of homes with televisions dropped by 500,000 form the previous year. A cynic might argue that a mere 0.6% upwards adjustment was concocted to maintain the value of a rating point, not the value of the data. It's time for a fundamental overhaul of the ratings system. Television might be the first case in the modern media era where the IP-delivered ad has greater value than the traditionally delivered ad due to targeting and mandatory viewing through technologies like fast forward disabling in VOD.

Agency provides discount card to county
A county agency's partnership should be able to help area residents save money when purchasing their prescriptions.
The United Way of Auglaize is teaming up with FamilyWize Community Service Partnership, which is a nation-wide service that provides a free prescription drug discount card to help make prescriptions more affordable.
"One of the biggest problems in Auglaize County is people struggling with access to health care," United Way of Auglaize County Executive Director Randy Fisher said. "Anyone can qualify for this this, and it is accepted at basically every pharmacy in Wapakoneta."
FamilyWize's goal is to reduce the cost of prescription medicine for individuals and families by $1 billion by the end of 2015, as they believe that stronger, healthier and happier people make healthier and better communities, according to a statement on their website familywize.org.
This free service is offered to help those without insurance or those whose insurance does not cover their prescription medications.
The discounts and savings on medications are provided voluntarily by the more than 61,000 participating pharmacies that have agreed to provide prices similar to what they give large insurance companies and employers, according to familywize.org.
Anyone is eligible for this program. There are no forms to fill out, and the card is like a reusable prescription coupon on all FDA approved medication.
People with insurance can use this card even if they have health insurance, both during deductible periods and for anything their insurance does not pay for.
The average savings when using this card if approximately 35 percent, or $17 per prescription.
The United Way and FamilyWize have been partnering together since 2007 and have been helping people save money on their prescriptions for the past six years.
"We are happy to do what we can to keep Auglaize County healthy," Fisher said.

A new Windows 8.1 mini-tablet emerges, and after just a short time examining the device, it's clear that this one is a contender. Similar in many ways to the Dell Venue 8 Pro, the Miix 2 also offers a pretty 8-inch screen running at 1280 x 800, Windows 8.1 "Core" with Office 2013, and the promise of decent battery life.
I'll need more time for a more in-depth comparison, but here are some first impressions.
Form factor. The Miix 2 offers the same portrait-oriented 8-inch Windows 8.1 mini-tablet form factor as the Dell Venue 8 Pro, which I reviewed last month. Much about these devices is identical or at least similar, including the basic size (5.2" x 8.5" x 0.3" for the Miix 2, vs. 5.12" x 8.5" x 0.35" for the Venue 8 Pro) and weight (.77 pounds for Miix 2, vs. .87 pounds for the Dell). The Miix 2 does feel a bit lighter than the Dell, but they're comparable.
Lenovo Miix 2 (top), Dell Venue 8 Pro (bottom)
Style. Where the Dell Venue Pro offers a nice matte black body with a grippy micro-textured back, the Miix 2 is styled like an iPad, with a black fascia and a smooth silver back with a curiously scratchy Lenovo logo. This kind of thing is obviously subjective, but I find myself leaning towards the Dell on this one.
Core specs. Much about these two devices is identical, as you'd expect. Both provide a 1.8 GHz Intel Atom "Bay Trail" processor with 2 GB of RAM and 32GB of solid state storage, though the Miix can be had with up to 128 GB of storage.
Ports. Like the Dell, the Miix 2 uses micro-USB for both charging and expansion, and Lenovo does not provide an adapter for using normal USB devices. And like the Dell, the Miix 2 provides micro-SD for storage expansion, which I consider a must. However, and like the Dell, the Miix 2 has no micro-HDMI port for video out. (There is a micro SIM card reader for those with cellular broadband needs.)
Windows button. The Miix puts the Windows button where it belongs, on the front of the device (in portrait orientation), which I prefer to the Dell's weird, non-standard location. It's capacitive and designed to only respond to purposeful clicks. I'll be testing this to be sure, but my knee jerk reaction is that this button was done right.
Lenovo Miix 2 (left), Dell Venue 8 Pro (right)
Screen. The Miix 2 appears to have the same screen as the Dell: A 8-inch IPS display running at 1280 x 800 with 10 touch points. However, Lenovo doesn't kill the quality of the display by dimming it to preserve battery life and it looks better out of the box.
Lenovo Miix 2 (left), Dell Venue 8 Pro (right)
Battery life (claimed). Speaking of battery, Lenovo claims the Miix 2 will get up to 7 hours of battery life, which is acceptable if not "great." Dell claims up to 9.9 hours of battery by comparison, and I suspect that auto-dimmed screen configuration explains much of the difference. I will be testing these head-to-head using identical brightness configurations.
OK, I'll spend some time with this device and report back what I find. My initial reaction is that Lenovo has delivered a high-quality Windows 8.1 mini-tablet. The question is whether it's a better option than the Dell, other Windows mini-tablets, and competing mini-tablets from Amazon, Apple, Google and others. More soon, but here are a few more photos in the meantime

Has 2012's Song of Summer Already Been Released?
Chart history time!
Yes, we are aware of the date — it is April 25, a full two months before the calendar officially declares it summer and at least a month before most people will be able to contemplate a beach trip, barbecue, or any of the other recreational activities that typically signify the season. (If you live on a beach in Mexico, we congratulate you and ask what you are doing on the Internet.) But the time is near — you can feel it in the air, and on the radio, which has already been infiltrated with the first round of super-sunny, expertly dumb pop songs meant for Song of Summer contention. Isn't it too early for SoS? you might be wondering. Well, we did too, and yet the very question filled us with deja vu, as if in years past we'd been dancing to some frothy tune during April showers and thinking this very thing! So Vulture did a quick history lesson to find out when the last twenty Songs of Summer were actually released into the wild, and whether or not there is an optimal release date for Song of Summer success. Our findings, below!
A quick note on methodology: Vulture worked from this list of Songs of Summer, as compiled by BuzzFeed and vetted by our own crack team last year. As for release dates, we used the single's radio release, rather than album release date, as radio play and video promotion are crucial in determining a Song of Summer; these dates come from the record label's official schedule where possible, and otherwise were cross-checked between the best available chart, music video, and album information. Here are the months that Songs of Summer were released, in order of frequency.
August (Previous Year)
1996: "Macarena," Los de Rio (Bayside Boys Mix) — August 14, 1995
November (Previous Year)
2011: "Rolling in the Deep," Adele — November 29, 2010
1992: "Baby Got Back," Sir Mix-a-Lot — February 27
2004: "Yeah," Usher — February 3
1999: "Livin La Vida Loca," Ricky Martin — March 23
2001: "Lady Marmalade," Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, May, and Pink — March 27
2005: "We Belong Together," Mariah Carey — March 29
2007: "Umbrella," Rihanna featuring Jay-Z — March 29
1993: "That's the Way Love Goes," Janet Jackson — April 20
1994: "I Swear," All-4-One — April 28
2000: "It's Gonna Be Me" 'N Sync — April 26*
2002: "Hot in Herre," Nelly — April 16
2006: "Promiscuous," Nelly Furtado featuring Timbaland — April 25
1995: "Waterfalls," TLC — May 29
1997: "I'll Be Missing You," Puff Daddy — May 27
1998: "The Boy Is Mine," Brandy and Monica — May 19
2003: "Crazy in Love," Beyoncé featuring Jay-Z — May 20
2008: "I Kissed a Girl," Katy Perry — May 10
2009: "I Gotta Feeling," Black Eyed Peas — May 21
2010: "California Gurls," Katy Perry — May 10
*This date was particularly hard to clarify, but Vulture went with April 26 based on the "It's Gonna Be Me" video premiere date (May 23) and the fact that Bye Bye Bye had already sold a zillion copies by this point in 2000. People knew the song.
So, what can we gather from this exceptionally scientific analysis? May is clearly the winner, and February is usually too soon — meaning Nicki Minaj's "Starships," One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful," and the Wanted's "Glad You Came" probably hit too early this year. 2011's Fun. and Gotye will need an Adele-style miracle to win (though maybe a James Franco endorsement is just that).
But! March and April together account for nine of the last twenty Songs of Summer, so it's entirely possible that 2012's Song of Summer is already worming its way into your ear now. Rita Ora? Justin Bieber? Carly Rae Jepsen? (Okay, that song has been out in Canada for ages, but she only just started pushing it in the U.S.) Anyway, the moral is: stay alert. The next song you hear could be the song that will haunt you all summer song.

In November of last year, Kate and I were talking online about sweaters that had caught my eye. I was sending her links to this blog and that, talking about "yokes" and construction and how a sweater sits on the shoulders and such because I was, at the time, besotted with a certain cabled yoke cashmere sweater that had recently been adapted in a pattern available for download. At the time, I was intoxicated with it, and Kate, good friend that she is, was trying to talk some sense into me about foolish affections. In two-ply cashmere perhaps it is well-engineered, but for hand knitting, she felt it was a shape that was doomed for my body. She kept shaking her head over binding bits, the lack of flattery to the "assets", and how a human being has arms that swing freely from the shoulders. Usually. "You don't want to make that. What you want to make is this" and into my IM window popped this:
I think it took her twenty seconds to draw this. It was for me love at first sight. Gone from my interest was the cashmere cable. I felt like Romeo dropping Roxanne for Juliet. The moment I saw the sketch I finally understood what Kate was talking about, and I have hounded her for the pattern ever since.
Last Friday I got it, along with everybody else, and I cast on.
I am using Green Mountain Green, a two-ply heavy worsted yarn from the Green Mountain Spinnery. It is a plump yarn, with a hand-made quality and a slight haze to it that softens the cables oh so slightly, and hides the few increases that are not concealed by the clever path of the cables. I like the silver sheen to it, and the colour, or lack of it. I feel like this will be the sweater I can wear to meet the Ents.

Arsenal deny takeover talk
Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has denied any knowledge of a potential £1.5 billion takeover of the club by a Middle East consortium.
The Gunners' current major shareholders are Stan Kroenke and Alisher Usmanov, and reports have already indicated the pair are unlikely to sell.
When asked about the takeover speculation, Hill-Wood claimed no knowledge of an approach, insisting any such offer would be turned down by Kroenke and Usmanov.
"I have heard nothing and I don't think anybody knows anything about it at the club," Hill-Wood said. "It all seems a bit of a waste of time.
"If there is this consortium, they can't make any progress unless they attempt to get in touch. So I can't say if there is anything to it or not.
"But even if they did make an approach, my understanding is our two major shareholders do not want to sell."
It is said that the deal, which would reportedly wipe out the club's £250 million debt, would be dependent on Arsenal qualifying for next season's Champions League. The Gunners currently sit in fifth position, five points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea.

School Choice: It Works!
Opponents of school choice often claim that allowing parents greater freedom to choose the schools their children attend is a risky and experimental idea that will hurt education. But school choice has a long history of boosting student achievement and academic success when it's been tried.
For example, early American families were free to choose from a wide range of specialized schools before the 1840s, when government began to assign students to tax-funded schools. Literacy rates were then as high as 97 percent—much higher than today.
Many great Americans including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin were schooled primarily at home before government assumed responsibility for education.
School choice is also working today. A recent Harvard University study showed that New York City students using private school scholarship vouchers are outperforming their public school peers.
In Michigan, limited parental choice among charter, magnet, and traditional public schools is giving all schools powerful incentives to offer improved and innovative educational programs.
School choice has worked historically and it's working today. Expanding choice in Michigan with tuition vouchers or tax credits would go even further toward improving education for all students.

Brief History of Company C, 24th
Michigan Infantry Regiment
By the spring of 1862, the Union army had encountered a number of crushing defeats in the eastern theatre; much of which can be attributed to poor leadership. By this time, the Union had lost the battle of Bull Run, Benjamin Butler was crushed at Big Bethel, the British were angered over the Trent affair, Stonewall Jackson was invincible in the Shenandoah Valley, and the North was facing problems with its attempts at a Peninsular Campaign (hindered by sluggish movement and a difficult geography)
In early July 1862, President Lincoln called on the northern states to furnish an additional 300,000 men to fill the depleted ranks. Governor Blair of Michigan responded quickly and with great effort. On July 15, 1862, Blair ordered that one regiment of soldiers be created from each of Michigan's six congressional districts. These six new regiments were to be assigned the numbers of eighteen through twenty-three, but because of an embarrassing anti-war rally in Detroit, the governor allowed for the Twenty-fourth Michigan Infantry Regiment to be created.
Michigan was to be assigned to Wayne County, which was part of the first congressional district. This brought the number of outgoing regiments to a total of eight. By July 22, patriotic young men were rushing to fill the ranks, and on this day, a huge war meeting was held in Campus Martius in Detroit. Speeches of patriotism were given by some of the state's most prominent citizens, including the venerable Lewis Cass who was making one of his last public appearances.
Support was given to the new regiments, and especially to the
, which was being formed by Wayne County and Detroit men. Prominent citizens of Detroit soon stepped forward to pledge the payment of bounties to each man from his ward who enlisted in the
Michigan. This was the first time in Detroit, and perhaps in Michigan, that such inducements were given.
The beckoning cry for help quickly spread everywhere, and before the end of the month, plans were being made in Plymouth, Michigan, to take an active role. On August 5, a meeting was held in Plymouth to procure enlistments for a new company of volunteers that would become part of the
Regiment. During that afternoon, enlistees were gathered at the Village Green, or what is today known as Kellogg Park. The company was to have one hundred volunteers, and they quickly stepped forward. As it turned out, sixty-nine men out of the one
hundred in the company were citizens of Plymouth. The others included seven from Canton, nine from Livonia, six from Nankin, eight from Salem, and one from Detroit. Another fifteen Plymouth-Canton residents joined other companies of the
. So it was on August 5, 1862, that Company C of the
egiment was born.
Shortly after the Battle of Antietam (September 1862), Company C, along with the rest of the 24th Michigan, joined regiments from Indiana and Wisconsin, thus becoming part of the famed "Iron Brigade
" which assumed that name when General McClellan noted how those men "were like iron" in the battle of South Mountain.

Training in the Canadian Arctic
A version of this article appears in the March/April 2003 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
March 01, 2003
Those who are charged with enforcing building performance standards in Canada's newest territory have miles to go before they begin.
At about 6 pm on November 26, 2002, I log onto the Internet and check the weather conditions in Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada. Current temperature: -18°F. The sun rose at 8:27 am, and set at 2:13 pm. Oh, the low tonight will be -28°F, but no wind. Nunavut is Canada's newest territory. It was created out of the Northwest Territories as a result of years of negotiations between the Inuit people and the central Canadian government. Located above the tree line, it is snow-covered land most of the year. The terrain is predominantly rocky tundra with stunted vegetation. Winters last nine months, with an average January temperature of -22°F. The average July temperature is 59°F. It is a generally windy area; the prevailing winds come from the northwest. Nunavut has over 17,500 heating degree-days (9,800 degree days below 18ºC).The population of Nunavut is 28,000, or about one person per 30 square miles. Nunavut is desolate, interesting, and beautiful—and it is experiencing a building boom. Construction happens all year. Builders set up lights to work, since the days can be ...

A wasteland of knee-high filth and garbage, wall-to-wall floors of compacted mold-blackened newspapers, feces, plastic containers and old boxes
Inside an ordinary two-bedroom house in an ordinary neighborhood adjacent to Manatee High School, two sisters are about to come face-to-face with their late mother's insanity as television production cameras roll.
Cheryl and Aimee are prepared for the worst; they have been briefed about Mom's problems by their younger brother, Jimmy. And yet, when the door opens, words fail.
They enter a wasteland of knee-high filth and garbage, wall-to-wall floors of compacted mold-blackened newspapers, feces, plastic containers and old boxes, where rats frolic about the crusted lavatory and toilet. Younger sister Aimee breaks out in sobs and bolts outdoors to keep from gagging. "Oh my god!" she moans. "How did she live like this?"
This clip from TLC's ongoing reality series "Hoarding: Buried Alive" was taped last fall and aired nationally in February. But it could have been anywhere and — according to a Bradenton cleanup man charged with getting rid of the mess — is likely repeating itself in your own neighborhood.
On Friday, in a concession to the unique and persistent nature of this psychological phenomenon, "compulsive hoarding" will rate its own separate clinical category in the upcoming Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Previously, it was considered a symptom of obsessive compulsive disorder.
"Since the ('Hoarding') show started airing three years ago, people have been coming out of the woodwork," says show consultant and psychologist Rebecca Beaton, founder of The Anxiety and Stress Management Institute outside Atlanta. "The incidence range is put at three to five percent of the population, but from what I've seen, I'm inclined to lean toward the higher figure."
Counting maybe 15 million Americans on the high end, the disorder is so stigmatizing that a national Hoarders Anonymous organization has formed in response. In order to shine a light on the debilitating condition, TLC's "Hoarding" offers to help sanitize the homes of afflicted families in exchange for documentation. Last names are withheld for privacy considerations, says TLC's Nicole Bamber.
'Worst I've ever seen'
The Bradenton case came to "Hoarding's" attention shortly after the mother, Cynthia, died in 2012 from lung cancer at 65.
Her daughters, who live in Oklahoma, remember their mother as an abusive alcoholic. But Mom's 26-year-old son Jimmy — their junior by nearly two decades — lived with Cynthia until shortly before her death last March. By then, Mom had long since replaced alcohol with clutter. The family contacted "Hoarding" after being overwhelmed by the magnitude of the disarray.
"It was a family secret, and Jimmy wasn't allowed to talk about it," daughter Cheryl told the Herald-Tribune. "He finally told me about it when he came to visit me in 2009. He'd lived in those conditions so long he thought it was normal."
Mom had told the family her home was paid off and that the mortgage papers were stashed away somewhere inside the house. The bank disagreed and began foreclosure proceedings. "Hoarding" even contacted a psychic in an effort to find paperwork that ultimately proved non-existent.
The show also hired Jeremy Geiger to haul Cynthia's junk away.
"Oh, easily a 10 — the worst I've ever seen," recalls Geiger when asked to rate the size of the challenge. "The TV show didn't do it justice because you couldn't smell it."
A veteran Manatee County Sheriff's deputy, the 42-year-old father of two has plenty of experience cleaning up after compulsive hoarders. His own uncle — a loner whose body was discovered in his home a week after he died — was a hoarder. Geiger formed a cleaning business, Haul-Away of the Suncoast Inc., shortly after having to scrub down the dispiriting aftermath.
Today, with the assistance of a Bobcat loader and a 22-cubic-yard capacity dump truck, Geiger works outdoor and indoor jobs, 25 percent of which are residential. Of those, maybe 10 percent involve hoarders. Employing day laborers using snow shovels and rakes, Geiger says he cleared six tons of ruined furniture and "tightly compacted" trash — roughly three feet deep — from the approximately 1,100-square-foot "Hoarding" house over a two-day span.
Geiger says the TLC producers insisted he and his crew wear hazmat suits to complete the job. But he says the most effective precautions when approaching hoarder houses are gloves, goggles and respirators, which insulate cleaners against airborne contaminants, like hantavirus. Spraying down the interiors with water to reduce dust is Geiger's preferred first step.
By the time Geiger reaches a hoarder residence, saving the house can be a lost cause.
Toxic mold can often be traced to bad plumbing, leaky roofing and other forms of neglect, which tend to wreak permanent structural damage.
Getting help
The secrecy exhibited by most hoarders suggest they know their lifestyle is dysfunctional.
"I had a friend whose mother-in-law didn't let anyone in her house for 20-something years," Geiger says. "It's hard to believe, but there was always an excuse to meet somewhere else; even her own daughter had no idea."
Psychologist Terry Shulman formed Hoarders Anonymous in Michigan four years ago and says most have undiagnosed issues with grief, loss or trauma. Many are paralyzed over fears of making a mistake and tossing out something they think could prove valuable, especially in hard times.
"It fluctuates with the economy and monetary stress, and as wages go down, they equate stuff with cash," Shulman says. "Stuff is currency to them. And it's getting worse with global access to wealth and credit in places like China, India, Russia and South America."
Doctors divide compulsive hoarding into five categories, with 5 being the worst, Shulman says. "But even a level 2 or 3 can cause health issues, accidents, fires, mold, eviction, divorce, even children can be taken away because of neglect."
Adds "Hoarding" consultant Beaton: "If you think about it, the stuff they acquire and pile up are literal barricades between them and the rest of the world."
For Cheryl, who suspects the biohazards in her mother's Bradenton home played a key role in her fatal lung cancer, agreeing to subject her family's shame to national scrutiny was not simply about getting financial assistance to clean up the mess.
"If you know somebody who's a hoarder, don't wait," Cheryl says. "Get some help. It's not going to get any better."

The T and its predecessors
The T and its predecessors
December 1891: A photo submitted by Globe reader John C. Parsons of Dedham in 1964 showed a double-decked street car operated by the West End Railway Co., which ran from North Avenue, Cambridge, to North Stable, afterward known as the North Cambridge barn. The upper deck had a roof, but no sides. The West End Railway founded in 1887 was the preeminent street car system for the Greater Boston area. In 1897, the West End Railway was integrated into the Boston Elevated Railway.
Oct. 25, 1924: One of the vertical Curtis turbines at the L Street power station in South Boston used to power the elevated railway system. There were three turbines — 15,000 kilowatts each — located in the South Boston Station of the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority. Theses turbines were taken out of service in 1950.
Aug. 2, 1943: On her first trip as "conductorette," Louise M. Henshon of Somerville helped customers from Lake Street to Lechmere Square. Eight conductorettes were hired and trained by the Boston Elevated to ease the manpower shortage brought on by the war. They made history as the first women conductors on the line. A former cosmetic seller, Louise had a brother in the Navy and a fiancee stationed in Guadalcanal.
Oct. 8, 1947: An ultra-modern subway newsstand — constructed with an eye toward more rapid, efficient service — opened on the mezzanine level of the Washington Street / Summer Street Station of the El. Larger display shelves, fluorescent lighting, and attractive neon advertising served to assist customers in purchases. The stand was made of stainless steel, decorated on the lower half with green structural glass.
Jan. 11, 1950: Peggy Matthews of Jamaica Plain inspected the new coin boxes. The new MTA fare increase from 10 cents to 15 cents meant a new open-throat fare box would now be used as substitute for the old dime fare boxes.
Aug. 13, 1963: A Lechmere car had a brief moment in the sun as it passed through an opening in the tunnel near Haymarket Square, where workers tried to complete a new underground route.
June 9, 1969: A woman walked in shadows under the elevated line on Washington Street.
Jan. 8, 1971: Foreman Timothy O'Donnell (left) and lineman Francis Fitzgerald (right) were inside the wire car. They were on their way to a section of the subway system where the overhead catenary system, as the trolley wires were called, were in need of repair. The present day Green Line is entirely powered by overhead catenary.

This Is Why You Shouldn't Jump on Tables [VIDEO]

How about we all agree the best table jumps have already been accomplished and we move on to something else? Great, thanks.
