Glaucoma: Reducing Medicine Side EffectsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Side effects often develop from glaucoma medicine, because the medicine moves its way through the nasal duct into the back of the nose where it is absorbed into your body's bloodstream. If you have side effects from your glaucoma eyedrops, one of the following techniques for inserting them may help:
- Gently pinch or pull out your lower eyelid and put your drops into the pocket formed by the pinch. Pinching the lid makes a bigger lid pocket to put drops in. Put the drop in the pocket, close your eyes, and tilt your head back for about 5 minutes. Blot your eyes before opening them to remove excess medicine from around each eye.
- Tilt your head back and put in the drops. Keep your eyes closed for about 5 minutes. Blot your eye before opening it to remove excess medicine.
- Put in the drops. Close your eyes, and gently press on the inside corner of your eye for about 5 minutes. This blocks the tear duct and keeps medicine in the eye from draining out through the duct.
If you have to put in more than one kind of eyedrops at the same time, allow at least 5 minutes between each medicine. This will prevent the first set of eyedrops from being washed out of your eyes.
To be sure that you are using your eyedrops correctly, show your eye doctor how you are putting in the drops.

Information about San Francisco Bay Area kiteboarding locations and guidelines.
Moderator: BayAreaKite
yeah nice!!
Nice pics dude!! I got one!!But it was blowing off shore..
Wonder if it's still worthwhile if it's the only place blowing when the wind hasn't made its way further in at Dillon...

Re: Pt. Reyes
Kite-boarding is not allowed off Limantour Beach, Drakes Beach, and the Great Beach due to snowy
plover habitat.
This closure is necessary as kite-boarding interferes with wildlife behavior.

Wait, so "tubas" is a no go zone now?
Re: Pt. Reyes
Correct, NO kiteboarding

Re: Pt. Reyes
BTW, by "interferes with wildlife habitat" is Park-Servicese for
"Kiteboarders are kooks."
Closure is actually a result of idiot behavior by a kiter who had to be rescued by rangers and proceeded to get his lines wrapped around the propeller of their boat, costing them a rebuilt outboard motor and freaking them out.
In general, you should not be kiting in the ocean in Northern California unless you:
1) Know what you are doing
2) Know how to swim very well
3) Have buddies who are going to save your A$$ if you are not capable of doing it yourself.
In the meantime we can all thank one dumbass for costing us the ability to ride one of the only kiteable tubes on the Norcal coast.
aka Pablito
It says 10M, but it's really a 9.

When I spotted this recipe on "Proud Italian Cook", I knew that that I had to try this. So, off to Whole Foods I went.
I had no idea which figs to buy-- the green ones or the dark ones? I decided to buy the Black Mission Figs. I'll try the green ones, next. I had no idea there were so many varieties!
They're even more interesting on the inside, I thought...all those seeds!
I gathered my three ingredients-- fresh figs, brie and prosciutto. I made sure I chilled a bottle of wine. My husband would surely to be surprised when he got home from work, I hoped.
I found the the figs to be a little confounding on how to eat... do you peel them, or pop them in your mouth whole? I sliced one in half and bit into it. I found it...interesting... a slightly "musky" flavor with a slight crunch of seeds in every bite. The seeds didn't bother me at all, to my relief. I've heard that people can eat these like candy, but I'm still not that sure that I feel that way. Still, I wanted to make this recipe-- that's the whole reason I surf food blogs, I rationalized. I'm trying to think "outside the box" in what I prepare for my family to eat. I'm willing to try almost anything-- except liver, yellow curry or oysters. I just can't bond with those!
I soaked some wooden skewers and I decided to cut them in half. I cut a piece of brie, and wrapped prosciutto around the cheese and fig.
In the meantime, Craig preheated the gas grill for a few minutes. You can use an indoor grill, too.
On the grill, it took about 2 minutes (we brushed olive oil on the griddle) for the brie to melt.
Wow! The sweetness of the figs, with the creamy brie and the saltiness of the prosciutto...
there are two things I would do differently, next time-- if I had a balsamic reduction, I think that would take it one more level up-- lightly drizzled. Last, I realized I could have easily cut skewers from our rosemary bushes! Duh! Next time!
Mmmmmmmmm... these disappeared fast. My son loved them as well! I'll have to find more fresh figs before the season is over.
I also decided to roast the rest of the figs with a little olive oil, salt & pepper. I have an idea that I'm going to experiment with tomorrow. If it works, as I hope, you'll see it on the blog. For now, I am keeping my idea under wraps-- in case it doesn't quite work out.
Yes, my husband was pleasantly surprised! More tapas recipes to share tomorrow...
If you can find fresh figs, I give this lovely recipe idea a high recommendation.
Thanks, Marie, "Proud Italian Cook"! I'll have to try your fig & custard tart. That also looks so good! I bestow, upon you, my badge of recognition!
If you still can't view the recipe card, all of my recipes are stored on Key Ingredient, by clicking here.

I have been given a task of putting together some standard security best practicesfor our Unix Servers. We use RedHat on our machines. Would anyone care to share some of the security steps that you would recommend when setting up a unix server. Obviously unplugging it is the best security feature, however, that is not going to deliver the email or web pages.
We have done things such as disabling telnet and using ssh instead. We dropped the wuftpd package and replaced it with proftpd, however, I am still not convinced that is a big plus.
We installed tripwire and that seems to be informative, however, it stands to reason that once you see the tripwire report that tells you that files were changed it is too late.
I look forward to hearing your responses.

Commissioner Alan Bersin told President Obama on Thursday that he plans to resign, effective Dec. 30, the agency said in a statement.
"I have expressed my deep gratitude and appreciation to President Obama and [Homeland Security] Secretary [Janet] Napolitano for the opportunity to have led such an exceptional organization and for the confidence they have shown in me," Bersin said in the agency statement. CBP Deputy Commissioner David Aguilar will serve as the interim commissioner until Bersin's successor is appointed, according to agency officials. CBP would not immediately comment on the reason for Bersin's resignation.
"I am immensely proud of the significant and meaningful achievements we have made on our borders and at our nation's ports of entry over nearly two years," Bersin added.
The Senate failed to confirm Bersin after he received a recess appointment from Obama in March 2010. Prior to serving as commissioner, he served as "border czar" in both the Obama and Clinton administrations, where he was tasked with improving security along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Bersin could only serve through 2011 unless he was confirmed by the Senate after his recess appointment. Because Congress did not recess for a December holiday, Bersin could not receive a second recess appointment, said former CBP Commissioner W. Ralph Basham.
Basham called Bersin's resignation "a sad state of affairs."
"A great number of people felt Alan was doing an outstanding job and I believe he was. I believe that what's happened here is that politics got in the way of common sense," Basham said in an interview.
Basham, along with other former CBP commissioners penned several letters to lawmakers on the Senate finance committee, urging Bersin's confirmation.
"We are concerned about further delays in confirming Mr. Bersin to fill this critical national security position and the resulting uncertainty that it creates," the commissioners wrote in a June 2010 letter.
Bersin also served as co-chairman of a joint Labor Management Forum with the National Treasury Employees Union and CBP.
"NTEU worked closely with Commissioner Bersin on the issues that were critical to CBP and its mission, and that impacted frontline employees," NTEU President Colleen Kelley said in a statement Thursday.
"He had the utmost respect for employees and made that clear at every opportunity. He will be missed," Kelley said.

Happy Midsummer!
Tonight is Midsummer's Eve, which is one of the most celebrated holidays in Sweden. (It ranks right up there with christmas.) So what is really celebrated? Well, the summer solstice, and the light. As such a large part of the year is dark in especially Northern Sweden, we take every advantage of the lighter part of the year. Midsummer's is the night to stay up all night (and it's actually sunlight 24 hours in some parts of the country!), eating, drinking and being with family and friends.
You can read more about it here. I, like very many other Stockholmers will go out into the archipelago. (Everyone seems to want to be near water on Midsummer.) Per and I will join my parents on their boat. Midsummer is all about food and drink (especially drink, for very very many), but the traditional food is sill (pickled herring) and new potatoes, with a garnish of sour cream and chives. The potatoes are fine (excellent!) but I really can't stomach sill. Most people also barbecue, and so will we. And I'm bringing some of the radishes and cheese I talked about! And some snacks. And a lot of strawberries - it wouldn't be midsummer without strawberries, that's for sure.
So, happy midsummer's eve to you all! I recommend one of the oldest traditions for those single girls out there - tonight is the night that you go out, pick seven kinds of flowers, and sleep with them under your pillow. Ignore the bugs that inevitably will inhabit the bouquet. You will dream about the man you're going to marry. Yes, of course it's true.

And we're down here lamenting the shortest day of the year and the winter solstice!
Wasn't it technically midsummer on the 22 June? Or do you enjoy the celebration on the nearest weekend evening to the actual date?
Technically, your midsummer should be some time in July, shouldn't it - if you're going for the technical day-in-the-middle-of-the-three-months-of-summer idea. Here, our seasons change on the first day of the month.
I love the sound of spending a festival day on a boat, watching the water and sky and enjoying good food with family and friends. Fabulous!!

Niki, midsummer is since many years back always celebrated on the third Friday in June, for ease of planning. :) But technically, it should be something else, that's right. It's not really the mid of summer either anymore - summer weather almost never gets going until June here, so if we were really going for the "mid", it would indeed be in July. :)
Boating was wonderful this time around, the weather was awesome and the company great. I had a lovely time! And Per didn't get seasick! (For the first time, ever.) :)

Love your midsummer post and the photo. Just wanted to let you know I found some white balsamic vinegar, and it was wonderful last night sprinkled on freshly picked filet beans. And you were right--they looked so much prettier since they didn't have the dark vinegar all over them. Thanks so much for introducing me to it!

Farmgirl - that's great! I'm glad you were able to find it! As much as I love the more intense flavor of the dark one, well, the lighter one certainly has its place too. And it's so much prettier! :)

Rapidly extending ARM's reach into the "8/16-bit" domain
ARM announced today that the Cortex™-M0 processor is the fastest licensing ARM processor, having secured 15 licenses already this year, with more predicted by the end of 2009. Cortex-M0 was released just nine months ago.
Almost half of the licensees are new to ARM, reflecting the fact that the Cortex-M0 has succeeded in broadening the ARM® Partner base to vendors in what were traditionally considered 8/16-bit domains, while also complementing the ARM Cortex processor portfolios of a number of existing major ARM Partners such as lead licensee NXP.
The Cortex-M0 processor achieves smaller code-size, better energy-efficiency and higher performance than 8 and 16-bit microprocessors, while offering a future-proof roadmap and broad tools and OS support. This has prompted many of the new licensees, like Triad, Melfas and austriamicrosystems, to take the opportunity to move from 8-bit to the Cortex-M0 processor.
The success of the Cortex-M0 processor has enabled ARM to secure design wins in new market areas, including mixed signal, touch-screen control, flash card, system-on-chip (SoC) control and finite state-machine (FSM) replacement.
The Cortex-M0 processor is the most recent addition to the ARM Cortex-M series of processors, aimed at low-power, high-performance embedded applications. Its sister processor, the higher performance Cortex-M3 processor now has more than 35 licensees and together with Cortex-M0 is spearheading ARM's rapid growth into the domain of 8/16-bit embedded devices.
ARM designs the technology that lies at the heart of advanced digital products, from wireless, networking and consumer entertainment solutions to imaging, automotive, security and storage devices. ARM's comprehensive product offering includes 32-bit RISC microprocessors, graphics processors, video engines, enabling software, cell libraries, embedded memories, high-speed connectivity products, peripherals and development tools. Combined with comprehensive design services, training, support and maintenance, and the company's broad Partner community, they provide a total system solution that offers a fast, reliable path to market for leading electronics companies.

More Boards Publicly Back Besieged CEOs
When the chief executive comes under fire, corporate boards are increasingly proclaiming their support for the embattled leader—even though the endorsement might be short-lived.
During 2012, the boards of several big companies, including Procter & Gamble Co. , Research In Motion Ltd. , PepsiCo Inc., News Corp . , Credit Suisse Group AG and Veolia Environment SA, took the unusual step of issuing statements backing their CEO. Rallying around a besieged chief can calm employees, lift a depressed stock price and borrow time so that he or she can deliver on a risky strategy.
Management experts say the trend shows, in part, how boards are coping with harsh criticism from vocal hedge-fund investors. "To resist such activists' push for short-term remedies, highly visible and accountable boards are stepping into that communication arena more than ever before," says Paul Winum, a senior partner at RHR International LLP, a Chicago management consulting firm.
Then again, directors' declarations don't always have the intended effect. Outsiders often view them as the kiss of death for a sitting CEO.
Consider WellPoint Inc. A disappointing quarterly earnings report on July 25 sharpened concerns about CEO Angela Braly and caused the health insurer's share price to sink 12% to its lowest close since September 2010. The board "is supportive of the strategy and our management team," Jacquelyn Ward, then its lead independent director, said in a statement released the same day.
The statement enraged stockholders already clamoring for Ms. Braly's ouster, said Robert W. Medway, co-managing partner at Royal Capital Management LLC, a hedge fund that held 837,800 WellPoint shares as of June 30. "It added a lot of gasoline to the fire."
Royal Capital soon wrote the board castigating Ms. Braly's performance and demanding it bring in new blood. In late August, she resigned.
Reached at her Indianapolis home, Ms. Braly declined to comment on the episode.
WellPoint directors "were very careful" in crafting their support statement, and didn't mention the CEO, says a person with knowledge of the matter. Mr. Medway thinks the omission "left them a little wiggle room."
Similarly, BP PLC publicly stuck by Chief Executive Tony Hayward in the summer of 2010, with a spokesperson confirming the board's support to the press two days before the announcement of his planned exit.
His departure from the energy giant had been widely anticipated, given the widespread criticism of his response to the U.S.'s largest offshore oil spill.
Mr. Hayward declined to comment, a spokesman said.
David Nicholas, a BP spokesman, says the board did indeed have "full confidence" in Mr. Hayward—at the time.
"A board that publicly backs its leader risks looking either foolish or incompetent if circumstances require the board to remove a CEO shortly thereafter," warns Allan Grafman, chairman of Majesco Entertainment Co. and head of All Media Ventures, which advises media investors. "Boards should think twice and almost never do this," he adds.
In BP's case, "the board's reversal cost them credibility," says Thomas Lys, a governance specialist and accounting professor at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.
A person familiar with the situation says the comment "is a fair criticism" because BP directors later became unhappy over how management handled public relations following the spill.
At P&G, directors' public show of support has so far helped CEO Robert McDonald to weather criticism. Activist investor William Ackman was pressing him this summer to improve sluggish results at the consumer-products giant after Bloomberg News reported that directors were considering a possible leadership change. In a regulatory filing days later, independent board members said they unanimously backed Mr. McDonald and his turnaround plan while "monitoring its effectiveness."
The filing "was the most efficient way of setting the record straight," says Paul Fox, a P&G spokesman. Through Mr. Fox, Mr. McDonald declined to comment.
The board's statement "is a stay of execution," says William Schmitz, an analyst with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. "It bought [Mr. McDonald] some time to make this plan work." Nevertheless, he adds, "the guy is a marked man as far as Mr. Ackman is concerned."
Mr. Ackman declined to comment.
At Yahoo Inc. last year a vote of confidence from a key director gave CEO Carol Bartz a brief reprieve. "This Board is very supportive of Carol and the management team," Chairman Roy Bostock told the Internet company's annual meeting in late June 2011. His endorsement improved employee morale and sparked several positive employee emails, Ms. Bartz recalls.
Weeks later, Mr. Bostock fired Ms. Bartz over the phone. Directors ousted her because she failed to meet annual goals they had set for her earlier that year, such as reviving the company's share price, people with knowledge of the situation have said.
Mr. Bostock, who left Yahoo's board in May, declined to comment. "Boards support their CEO until they don't," Ms. Bartz says.
Because boardroom dynamics can shift suddenly, investors should take a wary view when directors trumpet their support for a troubled CEO, according to several leadership coaches and other consultants. That's why some boards prefer to stay mum.
Groupon Inc. directors met Nov. 28 amid reports by The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg News that they would consider whether to replace Chief Executive Andrew Mason. The head of the embattled Chicago-based daily-deals website remains at the helm, despite pressure to reassure skeptical investors of the company's growth potential.
Board members didn't publicly affirm their support of Mr. Mason after the meeting because "Groupon does not comment on rumor or speculation," says Paul Taaffe, a company spokesman.
For his part, Mr. Mason recently declared he would "fire myself" if he thought he was no longer the right for the job.

Open WiFi To Become A Liability In The UK Under Digital Economy Bill
from the unintended-consequences dept
While it doesn't technically "outlaw" open WiFi, it does put such a big liability on it that it leads to the same result. It effectively makes it so that no one, not even community organizations, will want to offer open WiFi. At a time when the UK government claims it's trying to encourage greater connectivity, it seems pretty silly to put in place a law that could lead to exactly the opposite.

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Rio de Janeiro passed its first 2016 Olympics test with the end of an international sailing regatta on Guanabara Bay, one of the most heavily criticized venues in a city under attack for disorganization and construction delays.
During the week-long event many athletes and coaches were surprised to find the bay's notoriously dirty water - infamous for raw sewage, floating garbage, boat-battering debris and animal corpses - to be far cleaner than expected.
"I noticed a big difference, there was a lot less rubbish in the water than there was a year ago," said Jo Aleh, helmswoman for the winning New Zealand team in the Women's 470 class at the end of that competition on Saturday.
A long-time critic of the venue, Aleh said she preferred the pristine waters of her Pacific Island nation and still felt Guanabara Bay needed work. But she pointed out that many races are being held outside the bay in the open ocean where the water is "just fine."
Nor, she and other sailors added, is Rio the only important world sailing venue with water-quality issues. Pollution-fed algae blooms threatened Olympic sailing at the Beijing Games in Quingdao in 2008 and were only resolved in the weeks before the event started.
Concern Rio won't meet its cleanup goals has eased enough that Jorge Fundak, sports director for the Austrian sailing federation, is pushing organizers to hold more races in the bay and fewer in the cleaner open ocean. It is harder for TV to cover events outside the bay, he said.
Eilidh McIntyre, part of the two-person team that took ninth place in the Women's 470 Class, said concerns about the water were understandable but exaggerated.
"Most days the water was crystal clear," McIntyre said. "We saw dolphins. We did see a dead dog. But you can run into something like that almost anywhere."
State officials responsible for water quality acknowledge the Guanabara Bay still has serious pollution problems, but say they are concentrated away from the sailing venue.
News reports, they added, have unfairly confused two separate water-quality problems: human health hazards caused by sewage and racing-quality issues caused by debris.
State water-quality numbers starting in 1980 and reviewed by Reuters show the Olympic sailing areas have, on average, been rated "Excellent" or "Satisfactory" since 2005.
That means they are suitable for swimming and meet limits for concentrations of fecal coliforms, disease-causing bacteria found in human excrement.
Alistair Fox, head of competitions for the International Sailing Federation (ISAF), said his organization supervised Rio's water-testing program and was satisfied that the water in the race courses is meeting local and international standards.
Problems still surface after major rainstorms when sewage from illegal connections or shantytowns gets mixed with rainwater and flushed into the bay, said Jose Candido Muricy, a Rio government spokesman for Olympic and environmental issues.
One of the outfall points is in the yacht harbor, the Marina da Gloria, where the sailing events will be based.
Tests showed the water quality to be good during the test regatta probably because it was held, just as the Olympics will be, during the low-rain Southern Hemisphere winter, he said.
But Muricy promises to eliminate that threat. An interceptor sewer should be completed by September 2015 to channel sewage away from the Marina and the bay.
Its construction was delayed by the collapse of Brazilian tycoon Eike Batista's EBX Group, which had promised to pay for half the project, he said.
As for the debris, Rio has closed old landfills that sloughed garbage into local rivers and is completing a network of "eco-barriers" on major bay tributaries to trap garbage before it can pollute the bay.
A fleet of garbage-collection boats also regularly works on the bay to scoop up stuff the barriers miss, he said.

Updated: 7:27 p.m.
With agriculture programs set to expire at the end of the month, Rep. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.) expressed frustration with House Republican leaders today over their decision not to consider a committee approved farm bill.
"I am disappointed that they haven't scheduled this for a vote," Noem said after speaking at a rally seeking to draw attention to the issue. "That has been a big disappointment for me."
She has pledged to sign a discharge petition that would force the bill approved by the House Agriculture Committee in July onto the House floor.
"I'll sign it as soon as it's available. ... I think in the next day or two," Noem said.
The farm bill has been a leading issue in the re-election campaign of Noem, a freshman member of the House Agriculture Committee. Her opponent has accused her of not doing enough to move the legislation.
"Now that Congress is back in session, Representative Noem needs to follow through on promises she made during the five-week recess," Democratic candidate Matt Varilek said in a release earlier this week. "She said Washington is a mess. She said she'd help lead the charge on passing a five-year Farm Bill. ... South Dakotans will be watching to see if she keeps her promises. "
House Republican leaders have said they don't intend to bring the committee bill to the floor because there is not enough support for the measure.
"What the leadership has told me is that they are not convinced that they have the votes to pass it," Noem said. "What I have told them is that I don't believe we'll ever truly know if we have the votes until we schedule it and have the vote."
Noem and Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) sent a letter to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) today requesting a meeting to discuss the bill.
The Senate passed a five-year reauthorization in June, and Senate Agriculture Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), who appeared at the rally with Noem, said her colleagues would be unlikely to move a short-term extension of current law, hoping instead to keep pressure on the House.
That strategy might not bear fruit.
Senior House GOP aides say farm programs are not expected to face much disruption even if the programs expire as scheduled on Sept. 30.
And while Democrats see a political advantage in pushing new funding to aid farmers ahead of Election Day, one GOP aide said Republicans also see a political advantage to putting a lid on further spending.
Democratic foes of the House bill complain it would cut too much from the food stamp program. Republican opponents argue that neither the House nor Senate versions cut enough.
"For conservatives like myself, the real concern is that what is now [considered] a farm bill is really not that. It's a food stamp bill," said Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.). "When [President Barack] Obama says that we will cut not a dime from the food stamp program, which has increased 72 percent in spending in three and a half years, you can't be serious."
Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) said the food stamp title, which he noted makes up 80 percent of the cost of the bill, should be split off.
"The agriculture portion should stand on its own," McClintock said.
CR Moving
Meanwhile, the House is poised to take up a stopgap-spending bill that would keep the government funded through March.
House Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers (R-Ky.) said he expects the continuing resolution to win House passage Thursday.
"It's a good tight, clean CR," Rogers said. "I think it will pass."
The conservative Club for Growth said Wednesday night that it would score the vote on the CR, calling it "bad policy simply because it extends big spending programs, layers on extra riders, and provides only short-term funding for the government so that politicians can leave Washington and/or avoid politically sensitive events."
House and Senate leaders pledged before the August recess to enact funding through March in order to avoid a politically damaging fight over keeping the government open past the end of the fiscal year, less than five weeks before facing voters.

This week on the Delly's Deals Radio Show, I shared my weekly deals and we are talking about budgeting.
I totally blew my weekly budget last week because there were so many deals! But I'm still under my monthly budget, so that's okay. My budget is $75 per person per month, so since I have five people in my family, that's a budget of $375 per month. for me (honestly, I round it up to $400). Budgets can change, according to life changes (for instance, I had two in diapers last year, so my budget was a bit higher). If your kids are growing and eating more, you may need to adjust your budget a bit. What's important is that you choose one that fits your family's needs and stick to it, using cash if possible.
How much do you think I paid for all these groceries this past week at Harris Teeter?

A new exploit for Biesse France at Expobois!
The day after the Expobois closing, the woodwoking machinery and tooling exhibition held in Paris, Biesse France does not hide his satisfaction. Already projected to the 2016 edition.
"The success of our event showed the relevance of our offer product - Laurent Mazies, French subsidiary manager, explains. - The number of visitors has been regular and continuous during all four days and we heard that customers were well interested in our products. many oh them presented to our stand with concrete investment projects". Biesse booth stayed open till late to allow customers to participate in Happy Biesse: cocktails and music offered at all. A convivial moment which enabled the sales force to forge professional relationships that will undoubtedly bring results in the coming days.
Visitors appreciated the products displayed and the care and professionalism with which they were presented, all in a friendly and nice atmosphere. The 2014 edition 2014 was intense for Biesse France: the booth, located at the entrance dela fair, attracted many visitors. The number of contacts exploded! "Customers have responded positively, the Director of the Group's subsidiaries Federico Broccoli was very present and active on the stand. During Happy Biesse organized in the first three evenings, Biesse France worked well to marry conviviality and constructive and professional exchanges. a successfull formula" Mazies concluded.
This event leads to another: the Paris exhibition will be replicated with the same formula in the SPBI exhibition in Rouen, starting next November 27th. Mazies adds about: "For this show we have already made contacts with companies which ask us to work together". A proof that the Biesse's Made in Italy is exporting very well.

If you're one to believe a recent filing with the California Air Research Board (CARB) and those pesky internet blogs, Ducati is set to bring a "Corse" version of its Multistrada 1200 to the United States. While we like anything named "Corse" that's from Italy, we weren't sure exactly what a 2012 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Corse model would look like in reality, considering in the past the Corse line has been comprised of some go-fast parts, and the Ducati Corse paint scheme.
Since that's essentially the Ducati Multistrada 1200 Pikes Peak Special Edition in a nutshell, we reached out Ducati North America to see what the lowdown was on this apparently new model (which our sources forgot to tip us off about) that will likely be making the rounds on the interwebs today. The answer is frighteningly simple: it's what the company was going to call the Pikes Peak edition if they didn't get the nod from the famed mountain race to use its trademark. Sorry folks, nothing to see here.

By Scott Malone
BOSTON, Feb 26 (Reuters) - A second Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate reported on Tuesday that he had collected enough signatures for a spot in the race to vie for the seat previously held by John Kerry, setting the stage for two competitive party primaries in April.
Gabriel Gomez, a former Navy SEAL and private equity executive, said his campaign had gathered 25,000 signatures of registered voters, exceeding the 10,000 names required by state law and matching the total claimed by rival Republican Dan Winslow, a state representative.
"Our campaign against crushing debt (and) gridlock starts Thursday," Gomez said via his Twitter feed.
The signature requirement was seen as a higher hurdle for Winslow and Gomez, a political newcomer, than for Democratic contenders Edward Markey and Stephen Lynch, two U.S. congressmen with large existing campaign organizations.
All four candidates, as well as former Boston U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan, a Republican, face a Wednesday deadline to submit 10,000 signatures of registered voters to win a place on the ballot in the April 30 primary.
The special election to fill the seat that came open when John Kerry was named secretary of state has been scheduled for June 25.
Markey and Lynch have called on all candidates in the race to sign a "People's Pledge" that would have candidates reject third-party advertisements and mailings in support of their campaigns.
Outside-funded ads, often used to attack rival candidates, have become a major force in U.S. elections and of particular concern in races like the upcoming Massachusetts race, which falls outside the normal November voting cycle.
Both candidates in last year's Massachusetts Senate election, in which Democrat Elizabeth Warren ousted incumbent Republican Scott Brown, agreed to reject outside ads.
So far in this race, Republican Winslow has refused to sign the pledge, saying he had no reason to reject outside support - and noting that both Markey and Lynch already had well-funded campaign machines. Gomez so far has not made a decision on whether to abide by the pledge, a spokesman said on Tuesday.
Republicans currently hold 45 seats in the U.S. Senate.
Following Kerry's appointment to the Cabinet, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, a Democrat, appointed his former chief of staff, William Cowan, to the seat until a successor is picked. Cowan said he would not run in the special election. (Reporting by Scott Malone; Editing by Cynthia Johnston and Lisa Von Ahn)

BORYSEW, Poland – A private zoo owner in central Poland feels three times lucky with the birth of white lion triplets who are getting loving care from their mother.
Andrzej Pabich, head of the zoo in Borysew, said white lions often have defects that prevent giving birth, or mothers may reject the cubs. Triplets are rare.
Pabich told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the 2 ½ -year old white lioness Azira has been patiently feeding and caring for the cubs that were born Jan. 28. Their father, 3 ½-year old Sahim, who is also white, is kept in a neighboring cage.
The cubs will be allowed into an outdoor run in April.
Opened in 2008, the zoo has animals of 80 species including white tigers and white camels.

The euro turned bearish against the U.S. dollar (FOREX:EURUSD) at the start of January from a 1.3900 spike high, which we assume represents the final part of a bullish trend. From there, the market fell sharply lower almost 400 pips, so the pair has completed an ending diagonal. However, a key for a breakdown would be move through the red wave 4) swing low that is placed around the 1.3300 figure, still far away from current levels.
EUR/USD Daily Elliott Wave Analysis
EUR/USD four-hour
As expected, the EUR/USD has turned down from above 1.3700 area where we labeled the end of an expanded flat formation that now shows signs of completion after a sharp fall down to 1.3530. The current decline is showing signs of an impulsive pattern, so we suspect that the EUR/USD is heading south. Trend is down as long as 1.3683 remains in place.
EUR/USD four-hour Elliott Wave Analysis
Elliott Wave Education: Flat Pattern
A Flat is a three-wave pattern labeled A-B-C that generally moves sideways. It is corrective, counter-trend and is a very common Elliott Wave pattern.
Expanded Flat
- Structure is 3-3-5
- Wave B moves beyond the start of wave A
- Wave C ends more substantially beyond the ending level of wave A
- Appears in wave two or four in an impulse, wave B in an A-B-C, wave X in a double or triple zig-zag, or wave Y in a triple threes

Our favorite part is when she knocks the oranges down at the super market. It is our favorite because it looks funny and the super market guy yells at her. Our connection is to when we tried to do a cartwheel. We practiced a lot until we finally did one.
We liked this book because we liked the illustrations. They were very colorful. Our favorite character is the super market man because he looks like a funnny animal. We know how DW felt when she finally did a flip because she probably felt the same way we did when we finally did a cartwheel.
We recommend this book to people who like Arthur books because we think they will like DW books too.

Police, Protesters Collide Again in Ferguson
NIGEL DUARA, Associated Press
FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — The National Guard has arrived in Ferguson but kept its distance from the streets where protesters have again clashed with police in the St. Louis suburb where Michael Brown was fatally shot by a police officer.
Protesters filled the streets after nightfall Monday, and officers trying to enforce tighter restrictions used bullhorns to order them to disperse. Police deployed noisemakers, and fired tear gas and flash grenades. Police said Molotov cocktails were thrown from the crowd and officers came under heavy gunfire.
Police told protesters they couldn't assemble in a single spot and had to keep moving. After the streets were mostly cleared, authorities ordered reporters to leave. At least three journalists were detained before being released.
Police said at least two people were shot and 31 were arrested.

Earth's home galaxy, the Milky Way, consists of more than 100 billion stars and its spiral arms extend across 100,000 light-years. (See also the astronomy question from week 11: How fast is the Earth moving?) As if these were not already virtually inconceivable numbers for humans, the Milky Way is only one galaxy among probably billions of galaxies of various sizes and shapes that can be seen in the visible Universe using modern telescopes.
Galaxies are not distributed evenly throughout space. They appear in groups, galaxy clusters and superclusters. The Milky Way system is surrounded by several dwarf galaxies, of which the Large and the Small Magellanic Clouds are the most well known. Both are visible in the southern sky with the naked eye. The Andromeda Nebula (more correctly: the Andromeda Galaxy – see the astronomy question from week 35: How can there be clouds in space?), despite being around 2.5 million light-years away, is visible to the naked eye as a weak nebula in the constellation Andromeda. With a diameter of around 150,000 light-years, the Andromeda Galaxy is a little larger than the Milky Way and is similarly surrounded by smaller satellite galaxies. The Andromeda Galaxy is one of the few galaxies that is moving towards us and will probably collide with the Milky Way in several billion years (see the astronomy question from week 30: Whither goest thou, Milky Way?).
Star cluster – galaxy – galaxy group/galaxy cluster – supercluster
Our Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are the most massive members of what is known as the Local Group, which also contains around 40 dwarf galaxies. On greater length scales, the Local Group is assigned to the Virgo Supercluster. In the centre of the Virgo Supercluster there is the Virgo Galaxy Cluster, which is named after the constellation Virgo. The Local Group is attracted by the large mass of the Virgo Galaxy Cluster and is moving towards it.

PA continue to have 100% pass rate for PANCE
The next time you're treated by a Marquette physician assistant, know that you're in the hands of one of the nation's best. Out of more than 180 programs, the Marquette PAs continue to have a 100% first time pass rate on the National PANCE exam. The Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam assesses medical and surgical knowledge and is required to become a certified PA.
"We are extremely proud of the students' performance," says Mary Jo Wiemiller, chair of the Department of Physician Assistant Studies. "The intense program demands time and dedication to learn both in the classroom and in the clinical setting."
Marquette's PA training program is in high demand. Application submissions have increased again this year. The program continues to offer a postgraduate fellowship in emergency medicine, which is one of only a handful of its kind in the United States. The program is also starting its third year partnering with the federal VA system, the Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwaukee, to offer a post-graduate program in primary care for veterans.

Access to a good computer is an essential part of your educational experience at Cal Maritime. If you plan to bring your own computer, here are a few things to consider before coming to campus. You can Download a PDF version of this document here
For more detailed suggestions on how to buy a computer, how to protect your computer against viruses and purchasing new software, please visit the Personal Computers at Cal Maritime web page at http://www.csum.edu/web/faculty-and-staff/personal-computing-at-cal-maritime
Q: Should I purchase a new computer or use my current computer?
A: If you already own a computer, you can bring it to campus; just make sure it meets the Minimum Requirements For Windows-based Computers. If you decide you want to purchase a new computer, use the Recommended Computer Hardware Requirements as a guideline. Both requirements are listed below.
Q: Where should I purchase my new computer?
A: You can purchase your computer from any dealer. Online computer makers like Dell and Gateway offer the chance to create your own custom computer, while chain stores like Best Buy, Fry's and Costco give you the opportunity to see the computer up-close and give it a test drive. Whatever option you choose, here are some things to consider and questions to ask your salesperson.
Whatever option you choose, here are some things to consider and questions to ask your salesperson:
Q: What type of warranty comes with the computer? Where do I take it for repairs and what is the average turnaround time? What type of technical support is included?
The Cal Maritime Information Technology Department will not service personally-owned computers. You are responsible for the configuration and repair of whatever computer you bring to campus. Research how current customers rate their overall customer service experience when they seek help.
Q: 64 bit or 32 bit Windows 7?
If you plan to use the most current hardware, peripherals and software packages, the faster 64 bit option is the way to go. However, if you need to access legacy items (old printers and scanners, software built for Windows 3.1 etc.) you might want to stick with the 32 bit version as these items may not work.
Q: What operating system and software applications come pre-installed on the computer?
A: If your new computer does not come with Microsoft Office, or any other software you plan to use on a regular basis, purchasing that software is an extra cost to be considered.
Q: Does the computer come with a manual and the original operating system CD's and disks? There may be a time where you need to re-install the original system software or programs that came pre-installed on your machine, so having the original media is very important!
As you are probably already aware, there are two basic choices of computer platforms; Apple Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 7.
Cal Maritime is primarily a Microsoft Windows environment and the computers available to students are Windows PCs. However, this does not preclude students from bringing a Mac if they so desire.
Intel Dual Core processor running at 2.8GHz or faster, or Intel Pentium 4 running at 2.4GHZ or faster Windows: XP Professional or Windows Vista
Intel Core Duo 2.0GHz or faster; or G4 or G5 running at 1.2 MHz or faster
Pentium D running at 900 MHZ or higher
G4 running at 600 MHz or higher
All Cal Maritime Residence Hall rooms are equipped with Ethernet ports enabling students to access the Internet. If students plan to use their computers in their rooms, they must have a computer with an Ethernet card installed. Additionally, students must bring an Ethernet cable to connect their computers to the Ethernet ports in their room. The Ethernet cable should be a Category 5 (Cat5), 8 wire cable with RJ-45 plugs.
Wireless access in Cal Maritime residence halls, Library and classrooms is available. Throughout campus there are various wireless hotspots where students can connect with their own notebooks or wireless devices.
On campus, students also can access the Cal Maritime network and Internet on computers located in the school computer labs, computers in the Center for Engagement, Teaching & Learning (CETL) as well as computers located in the Library. Upon arrival, students will be given specific instructions on how to connect to the Cal Maritime network.
Things you can do to protect your computer
Important Extra Items
Here are a few additional items students find helpful to bring to campus:

It didn't take us very long to notice Michelle Obama's style on the campaign trail and I'm not talking about arms. I'm a bit under 6 ft. myself and first it was the poise, the grace of motion and that drop dead gorgeous smile that won me over. Later, it was the fact that she made everything she wore look like she just pulled it out of the closet – which gave me a more confidence to rummage around in the back of mine. Confidence. That's a big word for most women to swallow – whether it's fashion – or wine.
I started Women & Wine http://womenwine.com because wine for women is a universal language that we understand - it helps us make an immediate connection when we share a glass. Yet, many women are caught up in their inability to find the right words to describe what they like. And unlike their daily pick of what to wear – they wouldn't be caught dead in the same outfit two days in a row – they gravitate very quickly to purchasing a bottle of wine that they have had before. Over and over again. It's really because there's a disconnect and lack of education at the point of sale but instead most women say they don't feel confident enough to roll the dice on their choice so they go with the 'safe' one instead.
And while women buy most of the wine in the U.S. and, where available, in the supermarket - that's like saying that they bought a new outfit at Home Depot, or a new purse at Blockbuster. Many tell me that feel like they have two heads when they enter a wine retailer (thanks guys for making us feel so comfortable and welcome) – and so the anonimity of their purchase is what they settle for in a big box store.
Women wouldn't settle for anything else the way they settle for wines with cute pictures on the label or marketing gimmicks that appeal to women. They certainly wouldn't choose a hair dresser that had cute kangaroos in the window. And it's hardly likely that they would go to a butcher and ask for the cheapest cut of meat. They wouldn't bend down to pick up a penny in the aisle but they have no trouble swatting down to reach for that bottle on the lowest shelf that's $3.99.
Women who are interested in wine need a role model. I try to be one myself.
Now Michelle, I need your help.
Will you talk to us about the wine you like – will you come on Women & Wine Radio to talk about how you started getting interested in wine (we know you love good food!)? Will you be seen holding a glass of wine in a picture – or pouring it at the table for a family dinner at the White House? Are you and the President planning an outing to Virginia wine country (it is for lovers…)?
As CEO & Founder of Women & Wine, I want Michelle Obama to invite women to be more curious about the wine they drink. To know that they can relish an inexpensive "find" – like she does at J.Crew. But to also realize like when you wear something hand crafted – or drink a bottle of wine that's made with enormous care in small production – you can feel like cinderella – or a First Lady.
And I invite women everywhere – not just here in the U.S. – to post and share their stories at http://womenwine.com of how they started on their own personal journey of learning about wine, drinking different varietals or buying a special bottle to start collecting. The socialization of wine at the American dinner table depends on you ladies. You did it with arugula, you can certainly do it with wine. You family will become more engaged and eat more slowly when wine is served. And you will want to travel to see where it's made.
And Oprah, I'm ready for you. Why don't you have me and Michelle on to talk about what we love about wine – the stories that are in the glass – the special memories we have of the meals where it was served. The places we've been where that perfect moment was enhanced by a great bottle of wine…
Ladies, are you listening? And as a wine retailer too, my doors are open to you.

GREENVILLE, Ill. -- The men's basketball team lost in overtime 85-76 to Spalding Monday night. The Panthers were down by five at halftime but bounced back in the second half to tie it up with a free throw by K.J. Hilliard with under a minute to go in regulation. Greenville was led in scoring by Obinna Agomo with 16 points.
Hilliard netted 13 points and had the game-high six assists in the overtime loss.
Spalding's guard Dewhon McAfee, who ended with the game high 34 points, dribbled down the floor and missed a last second shot at the conclusion of regulation, springing the Panthers into overtime.
Greenville lost the momentum in the overtime and was outscored 13-4 in the extra period.
Despite the loss, the Panthers (12-12, 8-8 SLIAC) have locked up a semifinal bid in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference tournament on Friday and will play at either Webster or Westminster at 8 p.m.

Some shows from the hectic first week of the month.
After checking out the Hamburger Eyes show @Steven Wolf @49 Geary, I headed across the street to see what's showing at Gallery Paule Anglim. Wasn't feeling the stuff in the front of the gallery, but liked Ann Chamberlain's string and these pencil drawings.
Then we headed over to my favorite bar in the city... I'll tell ya the name, but it's my favorite little place to hide out, and if I told you how rad it was then word would spread and then my little bar would be too crowded and I'd then have no where to go when I want to be all moody with my notebook... Plus you can smoke in there too!
Don't even wanna say how good the music is there. Chris knows.
The next night went to Luggage Store to see The Amber Room featuring works by: Won Ju Lim (LA), Liu Ding (Beijing), Shirley Tse (LA), and Wang Wei (Beijing)
This was my favorite of the show- an elaborate table to do drugs off of... doesn't it look like something you'd see in some eccentric's house in Miami?
Then headed to The Lab for thier juried show. They have this great Twist piece in the hallway.
Zeffrey Throwell (center) was showing his video.
mirrored M16
They had a musical performance that we just missed featuring a group of people doing something with record players... don't know. Missed it.
The turntables looked great though.
Then to see Anna Maltz and Haden Nicholl @Mission 17
group show featuring Sarah Applebaum, Elide Endreson, Sherry Koyama, Christina La Sala, Julia Petho, and Allen Stickel @Michelle O'Connor Gallery
Julia Petho (right) & I believe her name is Sarah on the left.
And finally to Triple Base for Kottie Paloma's solo show.
Great show... It's nice to see a solo show with such different work in it.
Then ended it up with a house party... Don't get to see too much of the Groshong these days. I turn into an excited little kid when I do get to hang out with him.
So does he.
Missed some really great shows this last weekend. Too much to see. Anyone wanna help us get more photos of openings? Hit us up!

You will learn
- Stopping the Extended Storage Service using SAP HANA Studio and a SSH session
- Restarting the Extended Storage Service using a SSH session
By Balkarann
Occasionally you will need to stop your extended storage service. One case where this will be required is when you change a configuration parameter, you will need to manually stop the service and then do a restart, in order for the change to take place.
The easiest way to stop the
esserver process is to use the "
HDB stop" command from a SSH session. The "
HDB stop" command will not just shut down the
esserver/Dynamic Tiering process but it will shut down the entire HANA system. After the "
HDB stop" command completes, you can verify the status of the
esserver process by using the "
HDB info" command. One benefit of this method is that you know immediately when the stop operation has completed.
Another way to stop the extended storage service is through SAP HANA Studio. Open a SQL console and execute the following:
ALTER SYSTEM STOP SERVICE '<your.machine.name:port.number>';
Another way to stop the extended storage service is by double clicking on "
esserver and click "Stop".
Note: The screenshots above illustrate stopping the
esserverprocess when connected through SAP HANA Studio as the
SYSTEMuser. You would need to allocate an additional permission (SERVICE ADMIN) for the TPCH user to have the same privilege. Make sure to close the Administration window for the TPCH user if you already had it open and then open the Administration window again after you assign the new permissions. This is an example where a database developer would typically not have the same permissions as an administrator and hence cannot do the same functionality. So it is better to stop the services by the SYSTEM user, if you are using Studio to stop the service.
To restart the extended storage service from a SSH session, use the "
HDB start" command. After the command completes, use the "
HDB info" command to verify the status of the
esserver process. Just as with using a SSH session to stop the extended storage service, this method lets you immediately know when the start operation has completed.
With SAP HANA Studio, there is no need to manually restart the extended storage service since it automatically restarts after you stop it.

Rollbacks on the range
NATIONTo help public-lands ranchers and "preserve open space," the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) plans to revise its nine-year-old grazing regulations. Some say those changes will let cattlemen ride roughshod over public lands.
In 1995, President Clinton's Interior secretary, Bruce Babbitt, overhauled the rules that control ranching on public lands (HCN, 04/17/95: Back to grazing reform … maybe). But in December, President Bush's Interior secretary, Gale Norton, proposed a rule that undoes those reforms, giving ranchers more rights.
Under the proposed rule, permit holders will have part ownership of any fences or wells they install. If they're asked to remove more than 10 percent of their cattle, they have 5 years to comply. The BLM can't act to improve damaged rangeland until it does extensive monitoring. And range managers no longer need to seek public input for most grazing decisions.
"We think the changes are a win for all public-lands users," says Brenda Richards of the Idaho Cattlemen's Association. But environmentalists say the new rule will damage rangeland. Under Babbitt's rules, ranchers who violated a federal law, such as the Endangered Species Act, on any public land would not only face prosecution, they'd also lose their grazing permits. If the new rules go into effect, they'll lose permits only if they break the law on their own allotments. "It'll be like getting your license revoked on the street on which you were caught driving drunk, but being able to drive on any other street," says Randy Moorman, legislative research assistant for Earthjustice.
The public comment period ends March 2. For more information: http://www.blm.gov/nhp/news/releases/pages/2004/pr040102_grazing.htm.

The new coach could make a difference but doubtful. We have to keep in mind that we're getting an older Lu and a pissed off Lu whose mentally checked out no matter how hard he tries to check back in. And we haven't talked about the other big factors at play here. In years past when we didn't have a capable backup in Schneids, the concern was he played too many games in the regular season and burnt out in the playoffs. That was when he was still in his 20's. Can he play 65+ games at this age? Can we afford to have him use the first month of the season to find his game like he normally does with no one really to bail him out? Then there's the Olympics. Imagine 65+ games, plus having to fly all the way over to Russia for another half dozen games if Price, Brodeur, Crawford, etc. prove incapable. Not to mention the Twins, Kes, Edler (if he's still with us) having to fly over as well.
A bad move is looking worse and worse. If nothing else, I'm excited about the kids we drafted and maybe it's a good thing because we got a head start on that rebuild that may just be coming sooner rather than later.

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Document 1: The Declaration of Sentiments
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one portion of the family of man to assume among the people of the earth a position different from that which they have hitherto occupied, but one to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes that impel them to such a course.
We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of those who suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves, by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their duty to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of the women under this government, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to demand the equal station to which they are entitled.
The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise.Now, in view of this entire disfranchisement of one-half the people of this country, their social and religious degradation, - in view of the unjust laws above mentioned, and because women do feel themselves aggrieved, oppressed, and fraudulently deprived of their most sacred rights, we insist that they have immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of these United States.
In entering upon the great work before us, we anticipate no small amount of misconception, misrepresentation, and ridicule; but we shall use every instrumentality within our power to effect our object. We shall employ agents, circulate tracts, petition the State and national Legislatures, and endeavor to enlist the pulpit and the press in our behalf. We hope this Convention will be followed by a series of Conventions, embracing every part of the country.
Firmly relying upon the final triumph of the Right and the True, we do this day affix our signatures to this declaration.
1. On what document was the Declaration of Sentiments based? Why do you think the writers chose that as their basis?
2. What are some of the abuses listed in the Declaration? What rights does this list suggest the women at the convention would like to have had?
3. Only one-third of the 300 people at the convention signed the Declaration of Sentiments. Why do you think the other 200 refused? Would you have signed it? Why or why not?
4. What do you think about the next-to-last paragraph? Does this plan seem to you to be a good one for obtaining change? Why or why not?

Weare voters will consider range of spending options
WEARE - Voters will have millions of dollars in spending to consider in the voting booth March 12 as they weigh in on ballots for the town, Weare School District and John Stark Regional High School.
On the town side, one three-year seat is up for grabs on the board of selectmen. There's also a proposal to bond $675,000 to build a new highway garage.
The garage would replace the current structure, which is 33 years old and no longer meets the needs of the Department of Public Works, according to Town Director Tim Redmond.
The current wooden garage houses the town's refueling station but lacks both a ventilation systems and a fire detection and suppression system. The 10-year bond would not increase the tax rate because the bond on the town's safety complex will expire as it goes into effect.
The town is also proposing a $4,883,567 operating budget, and one-year collective bargaining agreements for both the police and public works employees. The police are seeking a 3.5-percent cost of living increase, along with step increases for some officers. The DPW workers are asking for 5-percent pay increases.
The Weare School District has one open seat on the school board and is seeking a $300,000 bond for a new roof for Center Woods Elementary School. The district has proposed an operating budget of $14,118,941, which represents a 3.44-percent increase over last year's budget and includes increases in retirement costs and teachers' salaries from last year's approved collective bargaining agreement.
The Weare School District is also seeking approval of a collective bargaining agreement for education support staff of just under $5,000 for salary increases.
At the John Stark Regional School District, the proposed budget of $13,170,725 is less than the district's 2013-2014 default budget by $391,877, due to a $400,000 decrease in special education costs, salary reductions due in part to teacher retirements, and reductions in athletic and co-curricular funding.
Voting will be held March 12 at the Weare Middle School from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Sen. McCain 'pleased' about special prosecutor, says Russia investigation still needed
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - Sen. John McCain (R- Ariz.) said he's pleased about former FBI Director Robert Mueller being appointed as a special prosecutor to investigate allegations of coordination between Russia and Donald Trump's campaign during the Russian election.
But that's not all the senator wants.
"That does not change the responsibilities of the Congress to develop policies and actions in order to respond to Russian attempts to change the outcome of our election," he told Sinclair Broadcast Group.
"We still need a select committee in my view, to review all of the actions the Russians have taken and what we need to do in response."
When asked if President Donald Trump's reaction calling the developments a "witch hunt" on Twitter was a surprise, McCain simply responded, "no."
