Ricin Charges Are Dropped
Mississippi Man Suspected of Sending Letters to Obama and Senator Is Released
The U.S. dropped charges against a Mississippi man accused of sending ricin-laced letters to President Barack Obama and a U.S. senator, and federal agents searched the house of an acquaintance with whom the man said he had a bitter dispute, in a major turn of events in the high-profile case.
A federal judge signed a court order Tuesday dismissing the case against Paul Kevin Curtis, 45 years old, "without prejudice,'' meaning that prosecutors could, in theory, reinstate the charges later if they found more evidence.
The court documents offer little explanation for why the charges were dropped, saying only that "the ongoing investigation has revealed new information.''
After Mr. Curtis's release from federal custody in Oxford, Miss., on Tuesday, agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation searched the Tupelo, Miss., home of J. Everett Dutschke.
Mr. Dutschke was named this week by Mr. Curtis's lawyer as the person embroiled in a dispute with Mr. Curtis.
A law-enforcement official said the FBI is now probing the apparent feud between the two men to see if that explains the letters sent to Washington.
Mr. Dutschke's attorney, Lori Nail Basham, said her client was "cooperating fully" with agents and had allowed them to search his home. She said her client hasn't done anything wrong and hasn't been charged with any wrongdoing.
Mr. Dutschke, the owner of Tupelo Taekwondo Plus, ran as a Republican for the state House of Representatives in 2007 and lost. Mr. Dutschke was arrested this January on charges of molesting, child molesting and indecent exposure involving three girls under the age of 16. Those cases are pending. His attorney said he had pleaded not guilty.
Like Mr. Curtis, Mr. Dutschke is a musician. He fronts a local band called Dusty and the RoboDrum.
It was unclear how the FBI appears to have gotten the wrong man in a case that erupted last week, in the tense days after the Boston Marathon bombing. The FBI didn't return calls seeking comment on the turn of events in the case.
Mr. Curtis, an Elvis Presley impersonator who was charged last week with sending the letters, thanked friends, family, fans and Jesus on Tuesday afternoon after being released from federal custody in Oxford. Mr. Curtis told reporters he was bewildered when federal agents first began questioning him about the possibly poisoned letters: "I thought they said rice, so I said I don't even eat rice.''
The former defendant thanked the recipients of two of the letters, Sen. Roger Wicker (R., Miss.) and Mr. Obama.
"I love my country and would never do anything to pose a threat to him or any other U.S. official,'' Mr. Curtis said of Mr. Obama. "This past week has been a nightmare for myself and my family. My mother has suffered as well as my children.''
"We are just thrilled," said Christi McCoy, his attorney, who thanked federal agents for "professionalism" in dealing with her client.
"I don't want people to look at this as, oh, a huge mistake or whatever," she said. "They went where the evidence led at the time and then they realized it was a dead end."
Also on Tuesday, the Defense Intelligence Agency investigated a case of possible biological agents being concealed in mail sent to the agency at its Bolling Air Force Base Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Defense Intelligence Agency spokesman Lt. Col. Thomas Veale confirmed that DIA discovered "possible biological toxins" that were "potentially harmful" on Tuesday morning during "routine screening" of its incoming mail.
However, he said, after a further "thorough on-scene investigation, no suspicious packages or letters were located."
The FBI is conducting further testing off-site.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said Tuesday that the toxin might be ricin.
Lt. Col. Veale declined to comment on whether the substance was believed to be ricin. "DIA has maintained normal operations, and will not comment further on this event until an investigation is complete," he said.
Whether the Bolling incident has any connection to the earlier letters wasn't immediately known.

A DOMESTIC abuse helpine that takes more than 350 calls a month is under threat as part of a £1.5m cuts package.
Council leaders are consulting on how they shave the amount off their spending to balance books to keep homeless hostels open.
In its budget, which was approved in February, Oxfordshire County Council decided to scrap the £1.5m grant which goes to a number of different services. This includes a proposed review of the need for a local domestic abuse helpline, as well as access and outreach services.
If the cuts do go ahead, £132,000 would be cut from money targeting domestic abuse – a reduction of 40 per cent.
The Oxfordshire Domestic Abuse Helpline gets an average of 351 calls a month and is one of the services under treat.
Trish Walsh, manager of charity Reducing the Risk of Domestic Violence, said: "I think it is essential that we maintain the helpline. It is staffed by assessors who know what advice to give and what services are available in the local area.
"It can be very difficult to get through to the national helpline because it is not manned all the time but this is a local service for local people.
"The most important thing is making sure the victims are safe when they call the helpline and I know useage of the helpline is up.
"Other counties are maintaining their domestic abuse service."
Oxfordshire's domestic abuse service – including the helpline and support – is run by A2Dominion, which also runs homeless hostel Simon House in Oxford.
It also gets funding from South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Councils, Oxford City Council and Children in Need.
Pam Vasir, A2Dominion's group director of supported housing, said: "Our priority is to support the people who are in our care as best we can and, obviously, we have concerns about the impact the cuts may have on our services.
"However, it is not possible to comment on what the impact will be before we know the outcome of the consultation."
Reports of domestic abuse in Oxfordshire have gone down in the last three years from 2,435 in 2011/12 and 2,336 in 2012/13 to 2,290 in 2013/14.
County council spokes-man Marcus Mabberley said that if the review went ahead, there would be a further public consultation before any changes were made.
The freephone helpline number is 0800 731 0055 and it is open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm. It will not show on a telephone bill.
Deborah Wiffen, who has run the domestic abuse support group Time 2 Talk for four years, said the cuts threatened to remove a vital service which vulnerable people depended on.
Ms Wiffen said: "If we cut the resources to these people who might have the courage to ring up then they will be let down.
"There is a fine line between domestic abuse and sexual exploitation in women."
Time 2 Talk meets from 10am to 1pm every Thursday, in High Street Methodist Church, Witney.

Tony Romo, who is 32 and in his prime as an NFL quarterback, comes from an altogether different era. That's all I can draw from the current issue of D Magazine, in which Peter Simek drills down into a single high-school game to explain Romo's ascent from small-town jock-of-all-trades to a guy with the second-highest NFL passer rating ever. Drama defused - Romo loses the game. But he threw for almost 400 yards and got a mention in the local paper, helped to put him on track for a scholarship at a small Midwestern school and eventually to the Dallas Cowboys.
If that sounds cloyingly quaint, try to recall those medieval days of 1997, when your Facebook wall was the inside of your locker door or the outside of your fridge. YouTube has compressed the world into a phone-sized space where anyone can pin a clipping to the cork board in the corner diner. What makes Romo's story so attractive is the relative puniness of the break he did get. But then, if you have such gigantic talent, maybe you just need a few modest breaks on the way to spending Jerry Jones' money and doinking Jessica Simpson.
Three moments stand out in this story. The first comes at the end of a section in which old high school teammates recount memories of Romo back when. Typically these oral histories of great athletes hinge on the feats of improbability they could perform at a precocious age; specificity, usually, is key to the effect. A high school teammate of Romo's says that kids knew from age 6 that to be on Romo's team - "whether it was pickup basketball to tennis" - was to know they'd win, setting up the best quote in the story:
Paul Bondar, a former Burlington star defensive end who now sells insurance to trucking companies, remembers that even when they were sitting in a friend's basement, playing video games, there was something other about that Romo kid. "It's like a force field that you can feel around him," Bondar says. "He wills the situation. You know what I mean? You can feel it."
Hey, now - "a force field that you can feel"! That doesn't explain fully Romo, but it puts us in the parking lot. Credit pure winner-guts and metaphysical phenomena for him tossing for 308 yards in his first-ever organized game, in his junior year of high school. (And for an offense that saw its top two quarterbacks throw for 12 yards total the week previous.) But this brings us to the second memorable moment in this story: A bomb by Romo on Burlington's fourth snap against Racine Case.
Romo trots three steps back, plants his feet, and launches a high, arcing pass. When the ball comes out of his hand, it flies. It doesn't looked pushed, as [Case QB Morgan] Coyle's long ball did, or really even thrown at all. Rather, it appears Romo has merely convinced the football to take off by its own volition, carving its way up into the night sky and back down to the earth, sailing just over the fingers of a leaping Keontay Jackson and square into the arms of the streaking receiver, Jeremy James, who runs 25 yards for what is made to look like an easy Burlington touchdown.
"He threw a touchdown right over my head," Jackson says, the memory still fresh 15 years later. "I thought I had the jump on it, and he had the perfect amount of touch."
It is hard to decide what is most impressive about Romo's throw: its lovely shape, its pinpoint precision, or how the ball comes out of his hand, even before Case's defenders are able to push Burlington's offensive line a couple of steps off their marks. Watching the grainy video all these years later, we might almost confuse the past and the present, to mistake the Romo throwing at Pershing Park with the Romo who plays in the NFL.
Case eventually outclassed Burlington. By the fourth quarter, Case has the game sewn up, despite Romo's inspired return from a chin bleeder that he had stitched shut on the sideline. Maybe he racked up a cartful of his yards in garbage time (though Simek makes a point of mentioning how routinely Burlington receivers dropped passes that day). Regardless, Romo finished with 392 yards passing in the loss. Peter Jackel, a longtime local sportswriter who would rarely cover schools as small as Romo's, filed a story for the Racine Journal Times about the game in which he underscored how Romo could "ever throw the heck out of a football." A childhood friend of Jackel's got the story and recruited Romo to come play quarterback at Eastern Illinois - no UW, no Ohio State, but for Romo, enough of a break to find daylight in life.
So here's the other poignant moment in this story. Jackel, this reporter who has covered Wisconsin high school sports for 33 years, thinks back to watching Romo make good at Eastern Illinois.
"They don't get a lot of coverage at Eastern Illinois," Jackel says. "And when he won the Walter Payton Award [given to the best Division I-AA football player], I remember he called me that night."
The Racine paper is the only one Jackel has ever worked for, and Racine is the only city he has ever lived in. Over his three decades covering high school sports, he has seen a number of competitive, talented kids from the city make their way out and up in the world of sports, only to disappear.
"There are a lot of people who try to big-time you, and they won't return my calls," Jackel says, "But Tony is the opposite. He is one of my favorite people of all time."

That was the longest title ever, no?
Clinique have brought out their new High Impact Lipsticks in the UK and Boots have Bonus Time!
I'm not one for Clinique, because I think most of their staff are a little on the snotty side, and their range is not that creative.
Lipstick – Pure Posh, Lipliner – Nudey.
High Impact is supposed to be ultra-moisturising, long wearing lipstick forumula that protects lips with SPF15 sun protection and lasts up to 8 hours. There are 18 shades to choose from but check out Red-y to Wear – its a HOT true pillar box red. £12. I was accosted with Pure Posh, a bronzy warm shade – its quite nice…
The Lipliner has a built in sharpener in the lid (handy!) and is creamy, and should last for 8 hours. Nudey is a perfect nude…obviously. £12
Quite a grown up lip for me:
But I like it and the colour stain stayed on for a good 5 hours.
Buy any 2 items at Boots and get the Bonus Time goods. Clinique bonus time is always pretty generous – it also turns the Clinique girls into ignorant monsters who don't need to do any work at all other than scan things through the till, but alas, you can't have everything:
You get:
50ml Sparkle Skin Scrub
30ml Body Butter
Dramatically Different Moisture Lotion
Eyeshadow Duo (in the nice silver case) in a neutral (booo) cream and brown
High Impact mascara – small
Long Lasting Lipgloss in Bamboo Pink (Yay!)
2 Small turnaround tubes – 15 minute facial and Concentrate
I prefer decent freebies as opposed to an ugly travel bag, don't you?

High Water Sound, the New York City-based retailer and distributor, created one of my favorite demonstrations at the show, as much for proprietor Jeffrey Catalano's choice of musicGabor Szabo's instrumental version of Donovan's "Three King Fishers" was playing when I came inas for the exotic and unassailably musical system on display: TW Acustic Raven Black Night turntable ($40,000) and 10.5 tonearm ($5500), Tron Seven GT line-level preamp and phono preamp ($18,000 each), Tron Telstar 211 SET amplifier ($40,000), and the striking Affascinate loudspeaker ($62,000) from Cessaro Horn Acoustics, the latter using an 11" woofer in a back-loaded horn, a proprietary compression driver for the spherical midrange horn, and a modified horn-loaded TAD beryllium tweeter. The sound was tactile, impactful, and thoroughly involving on every recording I heard.

Loved this room along with Zellaton Audioarts in the next room. Funny how these seem to be such different systems but so musical nevertheless. Visited all the other rooms but High water and Audioarts seemed to just get it. All the other systems were playing so loud that is was impossible to even listen.

Emu Feather
Acrylic on canvas
88 x 124 cm
Raymond's painting depicts Emu Dreaming, of which he is a custodian and spiritual ancestor.
"(The) emu it's a big encyclopaedia collection, where books belong to language groups, chapters belong to all these clan groups and we're custodian of one chapter, so we are not allowed to paint any of the other stories , we're a part of a big encyclopaedia collection. We are a link in the chain."
When the emus came into Ngarleyekwerlang, they came into contact with a large group of bush turkeys who had hidden a lot of bush tomatoes in trenches within the land. The emus had been travelling for a long time, and after arriving in Ngarleyekwerlang, wanted to find and eat food. However, when the emu's found the bush tomatoes, the turkeys wouldn't share and a fight began. The tomatoes were scattered across the countryside, marking the landscape. This artwork is an aerial view of that land.
The work features brushstrokes of bright yellow to represent the feathers of the emu.
Raymond's use of colour is bright and vibrant. When he uses these colours he's thinking "about the energy that allowed the emus to travel and drag the songlines with them. It is a period of creation where the dust, storms and sun were created. Every new life has a songline and this work is made up of many.

Senate bill 12-045 — Today the Senate Education Committee passed the Opportunities for Higher Ed Success Act, sponsored by Senator Evie Hudak D-Westminister and Senator Keith King R-Colorado Springs
The bill, aims to help track when transfer students complete enough credits for an Associates degree by creating an Associate Degree Completion Program in the Colorado Department of Higher Education. Students can, but don't have to be, in the process of continuing to earn a Bachelor's degree.
The bill would require four-year institutions to notify two-year institutions when a transfer student completes 60 credit hours. The two-year college will then audit the credits to see if an associate degree has been completed, and if so, to then award the degree.
Costs are expected to be minimal associated with data-sharing, but the fiscal note says the schools are expected to be able to absorb them.
House bill 12-1049 — The bill proposed by Rep. Judy Solano, D-Brighton that would allow parents to opt children out of taking standardized state test without penalties, was postponed indefinitely, essentially killing the bill.

With two outs and two men on base in the bottom of the ninth of a 2-1 game, Mets pinch hitter Justin Turner hit a tailing line drive to left-center. By the time the ball makes its way into the outfield, Andrew Brown is rounding third and Omar Quintanilla is already at second. If Heyward—who began the play in right-center—doesn't catch it, at least Brown scores and we have a tie game with a man on third, possibly even a Mets win. Heyward catches it.
It was that kind of game for the Mets, who watched Dillon Gee lose a no-hitter in the seventh inning and Bobby Parnell blow a 1-0 lead in the ninth.Then Heyward made his incredible diving grab, prompting Newsday to write this sentence:
With that, the Mets wasted a chance to climb within nine games of the first-place Braves for the first time since May 31.

Their website offers large discounts on medical equipment and chairs that automatically dump grandma on the floor when it's time for her to leave. What they don't offer, however, is answers. Courtney found out the hard way, and we're not sure but we think she's been banned from ordering from them. Well, unless she disguises her voice and calls back.

Lambeau "I love you"
I have returned from my parents home in the shadows of Lambeau Field. My excursion to the hallowed grounds is over. And, so is the 2008 football season for "Wisconsinites."
It was a short drive up Interstate 43 from Milwaukee to Green Bay. I stayed at my parents house Saturday night (just a hop, skip and a jump from the legendary battlegrounds).
I had a little too much fun Saturday night with one of my childhood friends.
Not us…damn litterbugs.
Don't know her…I had to make this picture smaller for the entry (want people to come back to my blog).
I apologize in advance if this is someone's girlfriend/wife/mom/daughter/lover/etc. 😉
Bruce Wayne…err…Batman drunk on expensive wine again?
Not me either. This guy doesn't do those tights justice.
You get the point.
After about 4 hours of sleep into Sunday morning…I woke up not feeling so good.
So, after a breakfast consisting of this…
(Mom always said it would "quiet" the tummy)
I began my slow recovery.
But, still felt like this…
in the wintertime.
I felt like I was losing the battle…until we drove up and I saw this…
It was like a beacon guiding me to the promised land.
A ray of hope.
Then, I ran into the founding father…Earl Louis "Curly" Lambeau.
I looked up at the man, asking for direction.
I heard him whisper, "go. I shall show you the way."
Little did I know, he was directing me to this man…
Vincent T. Lombardi, himself. The man, the myth, the legend.
There he stood. Such a stoic figure looking down upon me.
It was my moment of truth. I could either run and hide OR I could "man-up."
I heard him say, "get yourself together, young man" (actually, he yelled it).
"If you will represent PackerBackers under my watch, you will act like a man!"
Staring into the eyes of our heroic leader, I decided it was time to put up or shut up.
So, we headed here…
Literally, in the shadows of Lambeau Field, Kroll's West is a must stop for anyone who ventures to Titletown. Heck, I grew up near Green Bay, and still can't get enough!
Here was my view waiting in line…
And a picture of my actual recovery meal…
nothing-I mean nothing, beats a Kroll's burger on gameday.
After eating that, I felt as good as new! Like a gift from the heavens…thanks Mr. Lombardi.
Thank you Kroll's Restaurant/Bar!
Now, it was gametime.
I'll spare you the details. You probably heard what happened. If you didn't, let me tell you.
That's all you really need to know…poor Lions.
I'm just relieved the Packers didn't choke under the pressure (the ghost of Lombardi works in mysterious ways, you know).
After the game, we headed back (you guessed it) to Kroll's!
I had my ceremonious post-game meal…
Kroll's chili…second to none…simply, the best.
So worth it.
After my meal, I went to wish some of the players well into their offseason.
As an avid sports memorabilia collector, I was able to get a few items signed by some of the Packers star players.
Former Heisman Trophy Winner Charles Woodson was gracious enough to sign the Packers mini helmet pictured below.
CHARLES WOODSON 2008 Statistics:
7 Interceptions/2 Defensive Touchdowns/3 Sacks
2008 Pro Bowl Selection
Rising NFL star Greg Jennings also was kind enough to stop and sign a collectible helmet for me.
GREG JENNINGS 2008 Statistics:
80 Receptions/1292 Yards/9 Touchdowns
2008 Pro Bowl Selection (1st Alternate)
Thank you Mr. Woodson and Mr. Jennings for taking the time to add to our collection.
Helluva good time had by all!!
Now, forget snowballs…bring on the baseballs!!

TUCSON, Ariz. (Wednesday, February 26, 2014) – The Colorado Rapids played out a goalless draw with Chivas USA on Wednesday afternoon in Tucson, as part of the Desert Diamond Cup. Goalkeepers Joe Nasco (62 minutes) and John Berner (28 minutes) combined to keep shutout in the match, which was the fourth shutout for the Rapids this preseason.
The Rapids controlled the bulk of the action, especially as the match wore on, with Colorado earning several good late chances. Gabriel Torres, Deshorn Brown and Marvin Chávez all had opportunities to score the winning goal, but the Chivas USA goalkeeper was able to keep Colorado off the board.
Nathan Sturgis also had a chance in injury time, when he got free to win a header on a corner kick, but could not quite direct his header on target. Throughout the second half, the Rapids had more possession and more opportunities in what was the second meeting between the two clubs this preseason.
The first 30 minutes of the match was more in Chivas' favor, and goalkeeper Nasco was busy for the Rapids, having to come off his line several times to collect dangerous crosses. Nearly every one of Chivas' corner kicks in the first half was snagged by Nasco, who came off his line aggressively. He was also forced into a good save early in the second half.
Colorado will now face New England Revolution in their fourth and final game of the Desert Diamond Cup, which will be held on Saturday, kick-off 3.30 p.m MT. With the tie, the team's record sits at 4-2-1 (W-L-T) in preseason. Wednesday's match was the first time the Rapids had failed to score in 2014.

Government users make up one of BlackBerry's largest installed bases, but as more Android and Apple's iOS smartphones flow into the enterprise via bring-your-own-device programs, agencies may run into problems keeping personal and government data separate. BlackBerry addresses that issue with its enterprise mobility management suite, BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, which works with iOS, Android and BlackBerry devices.
BES10 version 10.2 allows for a separate partition to be created for government data on BlackBerry, iOS and Android phones. The government partition is encrypted and is controlled by system administrators. Government admins can add approved apps, delete or block apps and can even wipe the entire set of government data remotely if needed.
Users will see no difference between the private and the government interface, no matter the OS. So those using an iPhone for personal communications will find a similar look and feel on the government side.
Michael Brown, vice president of product management and research for BlackBerry pointed out that while government data is protected, so is a user's private information. A user's personal data is totally separate under the BlackBerry management suite and is not able to be manipulated or viewed by government administrators. He said he feels that protecting data both ways should go a long way to comforting users, making them feel more at ease when offering their phones for use in a BYOD program.
BES10 version 10.2 brings new features to mobile management, including:
BlackBerry says that to date, over 30,000 commercial and test servers running BES10 have been installed.

For everyone who's thinking it looks like a Republican year, you can keep thinking that — at least for now — says Gallup.
Gallup reports that the GOP has taken an "unprecedented" 10-point lead on its generic ballot of congressional voting preferences, by 51 percent to 41 percent.
The polling firm says:
The last Gallup weekly generic ballot average before Labor Day underscores the fast-evolving conventional wisdom that the GOP is poised to make significant gains in this fall's midterm congressional elections. Gallup's generic ballot has historically proven an excellent predictor of the national vote for Congress, and the national vote in turn is an excellent predictor of House seats won and lost. Republicans' presumed turnout advantage, combined with their current 10-point registered-voter lead, suggests the potential for a major "wave" election in which the Republicans gain a large number of seats from the Democrats and in the process take back control of the House.
It adds a "cautionary note:"
Democrats moved ahead in Gallup's generic ballot for several weeks earlier this summer, showing that change is possible between now and Election Day.

How to Use This Map
(Edison National Historic Site)
1. What were the different buildings used for? Why do you think there are so many different facilities?
2. What do you think is the purpose for the arrangement of the buildings? What is gained by having the buildings clustered rather than in one long row?* The map on the screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of this map, but be aware that the file will take as much as a minute to a load with a 28.8K modem.

FRANKLIN � In his five-year budget forecast, Town Administrator Jeffrey Nutting said on Wednesday that balancing the fiscal year 2015 and 2016 budgets will be manageable, but in the years after the town may have to consider increasing taxes or cutting staff.
Speaking to the Town Council, Nutting emphasized that his message of doom and gloom was not new and could change.
"The trend shows us going negative a few years out," he said, noting that expenses will begin outpacing revenues. "But there�s a lot of unknowns � no need to panic at this point."
Nonetheless, Nutting said, town leaders need to start considering options to assuage the impact of rising health insurance and pension costs, including an expected $86 million obligation to fund benefits for retired employees.
"We have to keep searching for a formula to deal with these costs," he said, even as he acknowledged that there has never been and probably will never be a "magic bullet."
Producing what Nutting called a "level service budget" � meaning no cuts or new hires � has never been harder.
State aid, which the town has relied heavily on in the past, has trended downward since 2009. Nutting predicted aid would go up a mere one percent in the years ahead.
The decrease over previous years has hurt the school system the most.
"The heyday of Chapter 70 (education aid) is over," Nutting said.
To account for the gaps in the budget created by the loss in state aid, the town has reduced its staff by 20 percent � though there have not been any layoffs recently � and reworked benefit packages.
But entering fiscal year 2017, Nutting said, cutting employees will no longer be a sustainable option: "We don�t have any room to cut employees and still maintain our services."
Instead, Franklin needs to try to take the opposite approach, especially with its police force and fire department.
Other possible solutions include focusing on promoting commercial and industrial development to increase property tax revenues and regionalizing services wherever possible.
One of the budget priorities, he said, should be to maintain the town�s reserves (to date, it has used $6.5 million in reserves). Another is to keep money flowing into capital projects, such as the replacement of old police cruisers - because catching up can be difficult.
Apart from how the town will meet its mammoth benefits obligation, there is the question of how to tackle the $40 million backlog of road and infrastructure projects.
For Nutting, the only option is creating a dedicated funding source � more specifically, an override to the tune of $1.5 million a year. He said the "average" taxpayer would be on the hook for $130 a year.

Franklin's Nutting: Future budgets will be a challenge
FRANKLIN � In his five-year budget forecast, Town Administrator Jeffrey Nutting said on Wednesday that balancing the fiscal year 2015 and 2016 budgets will be manageable, but in the years after the town may have to consider increasing taxes or cutting staff.

Hear What it Sounds Like.
A green flute will sound the same as any other color, so I haven't recorded individual tracks for each one. The color of the keys doesn't make any difference to the tone. A silver-plated flute will have a richer tone than a colored flute. The recordings below let you hear how good these flutes can sound.
Split E Mechanism
This flute is fitted with the split E mechanism, which is a lever that automatically closes one of the G keys when High E is fingered. This lowers the pitch of high E, which tends to come out a little sharp, making it easier to play High E in tune. This feature is definitely worth having, although few students get up to high E for at least three years. It is difficult enough at the best of time to play the flute in tune, and any feature that makes this task easier is a big asset. The base model Yamaha flute, the YFL-221, doesn't have the split E. If you want a Yamaha flute with a split E, you have to upgrade your flute to the YFL-221, but it will cost you $150 extra. All Masterpiece flutes have the Split E mechanism fitted as standard.
Open Tone Holes
This flute features five tone holes that have holes in them to allow better projection of your sound. The open tone holes also allow you to perform slides and glissandos with greater precision.
Because it can sometimes be tricky to make the transition from covered tone oles to open, the flute is supplied with five silicon plugs, which you can easily remove one at a time as you become more able to completely cover the open tone holes with your fingers.
B Footjoint
This flute features an extra key at the bottom of the flute, on the footjoint. This key allows you to play an extra note - Low B. Normally the lowest note on a flute is Low C. This flute is a few cm longer than flutes with a C footjoint, hence its ability to produce Low B. It's not every piece of music that requires Low B, but it can be gratifying to have the potential.

NO Packing Materials to Remove
Before manufacturers ship their flutes to suppliers, they usually insert packing wedges to support the keys in transit. These wedges need to be carefully removed with tweezers before playing. The wedges are not always easy to spot. If you don't remove every one, you risk bending the keys. Most suppliers of budget flutes don't bother to remove these wedges - they simply unpack your flute from a shipping container and send it to you. I remove all the wedges from every flute before I send it out.
NO Adjustments to Make
During transit from the factory, the last phase of seating of the pads occurs, as the pads become compressed into their proper position Tiny adjustments are often necessary when the flute reaches its destination. The adjustments are simple to perform, but if you don't know where to put your screwdriver your flute won't play at its best. Those suppliers who ship straight from the container and don't even bother to remove the packing wedges care even less about fine-tuning your flute before you get it. I play test all Masterpiece instruments and adjust them for you so that they are ready to play when they reach you.
Why buy musical instruments from me?
I know a good flute when I see one. Since 1980, I have been a professional musician, teacher and author. I have taught hundreds of students i n thousands of lessons. I have written more than 60 books on how to play musical instruments that have collectively sold more than one million copies worldwide.. Masterpiece instruments are the same instruments that I recommend to my students. I sit beside them and listen to them play all day long.

GPS Navigators / Sat Nav
When setting out to buy a GPS you'll be faced with a large variety in prices from very high to st...
Read More
When setting out to buy a GPS you'll be faced with a large variety in prices from very high to strangely low. When buying, how do you know what to look for to make sure you get a unit that will not only navigate well, but will also have features that are in-line with what you'll be using it for. It's easier than it looks, and once you know a few key things to look out for you'll have no trouble narrowing down the models to the one you need.
Vehicle Type
First off, you'll need to know that there are different GPS types for different vehicles. Cars are the most common and popular; these models come in a variety of screen sizes (usually touch screen) and power themselves through a lighter plug in your dash. Truck GPS's are slightly different in the way that they have trucking routes in the maps and often have the ability to mount an external antenna outside the truck. If you look at many high end car models you'll see that they can easily be transferred into a truck as they have many of those features too. Although motorcycles have their own type of GPS, they do operate much the same as a car unit but they have specially designed mounts and power adapters to work on a bike. Boating and marine GPS's are in a category much their own, so I won't be touching on those very much for that reason.
Screen Size
Common GPS screen sizes are 3.5" and the widescreen 4.3". Widescreen GPS's will have a touch screen QWERTY keyboard where as 3.5" GPS's typically use three letters per key like a cell phone. Other than those minor differences, the only thing you will notice is that larger screens give you a larger view of the map and more screen space when it comes to buttons and menus. The final decision is up to you; what screen size do you prefer more and which physical GPS size will mount nicely in your intended mounting spot?
Navigation Features
When you start comparing GPS prices, one thing you'll want to look closely at is the navigation features they provide. It's not uncommon to find a store selling one model of GPS for a certain price and another store selling the same model for significantly less. Make sure you ask what maps each unit comes preloaded with because one model may have several different versions with different map-sets. An example would be a unit preloaded with only one country's maps versus another that's preloaded with maps from a whole continent.
The biggest thing you'll see many manufacturers saying is how many millions of points of interest their maps have. All those points of interest are things like businesses, hospitals, gas stations, parking lots, etc. that are built into the map. You can choose whether or not to display these and which ones you want to display. For example, if I'm going on a long trip I may want my map to always show hotels and gas stations but not things like malls or ice cream stores that are irrelevant to my trip.
Next you'll want to look at how the directions are dictated to you. All new GPS's will have a voice telling you when you turn (Ie. "turn left in 400 meters") but only more expensive models will have what's called TTS or, text to speech. Text to speech allows the GPS to read the actual street names from the map file (Ie. "Turn left in 400 meters on to Whales Street"). Having text to speech is another one of those features that allows you to almost entirely ignore the GPS's physical existence during a trip and to rely on it simply to tell you street-for-street how to get to your destination. Why do I pay so much more for a text to speech GPS versus a regular one, you ask? Well, the software that runs the text to speech abilities is incredibly complex and has taken many years of ongoing development to make a "natural" sounding human voice that can read and speak without sounding robotic. Since the GPS manufacturers don't make this themselves, they must license it from one of the many companies that do - so you are paying a little extra to cover this licensing.
Lane assist is another feature found in more expensive GPS models which will not only keep you on the right path, but also in the correct lane. Having a GPS tell you the exact lane to be in when you're on a very busy freeway crossover will help take the stress away from those complex exits which may have several lanes exiting one after the other. It will also help you be ready for any upcoming turns you may need to make during city driving. This advanced warning will help in situations where traffic is heavy and lane changes are time consuming.
For those wanting the absolute easiest driving and navigation experience possible you can find many GPS's with "premium" services that you can subscribe to and pay for on a monthly/yearly basis. These include things like live traffic reports that will allow your GPS to compensate it's route to avoid traffic jams or accidents. You can also find things like live weather reports available that will stream to your GPS as well.
If you plan on keeping your GPS for a long time then you will want to look into whether the software and maps that are included with it can be upgraded. Most brand-name GPS's will have maps that are up-gradable - this means that each year you can buy a new map set from the manufacturer to load on to the device. These new maps will have new points of interest and updated road layouts for whatever country/continent they are purchased for. If you're buying a "cheap" GPS from a relatively unknown manufacturer then make sure to investigate if they ever plan on offering upgrades or not. I've seen many really cheap GPS's that are preloaded with the current years maps but the manufacturer has not put any USB or SD card connections on the device to ever modify what it came with.
Extra Features
Just like any electronic device, if you look hard enough you can find all sorts of other (sometimes unrelated) features packed into GPS's. Bluetooth is by far one of the most common as it allows you to pair your GPS up with your phone and use it as a hands-free calling device in your car. I'd pay a little extra for something that allows me to keep both hands on the wheel and more attention on the road! You can also expect to find things like photo viewers, MP3 players and video viewers on certain manufacturer's GPS devices as well.
If you're a regular driver or like to chart unconquered territory then a GPS is one of the best investments you will likely make. They take the hassle away from navigation and the stress away from driving in new places.Close

Pregnancy testing
Modern pregnancy testing kits are cheap and easy to use. Many claim to be 99% accurate. They sample urine or blood and detect chemical markers associated with pregnancy that are found in these fluids. Older testing methods were often based on superstition and false assumptions. Urine is the common thread linking many of them with test kits of today.
Ancient Egyptian texts describe an early urine-based test in which the woman urinated over a mixture of wheat and barley seeds. A boy was expected should barley grow. If wheat grew it was a girl. No growth meant no pregnancy. Other tests from the Middle Ages onwards tried to detect 'something different' in the urine. They looked for changes in its appearance, smell and taste, the way it reacted with other substances, and the colour with which urine-soaked cloth burned. These all claimed to diagnose pregnancy - or the lack of it.
Specific hormones associated with pregnancy were identified in the 20th century, and this led to increasingly refined chemical tests to detect them. Initially these were confined to hospitals and doctor's surgeries. The first home testing kit was marketed in 1978. It looked for the hormone human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) and was a chemistry set compared to today's kits. The results could take two hours. However, kits were improved and simplified. For many years the appearance of a 'thin blue line' indicated positive news. Recent tests have replaced the blue line with a digital screen displaying either 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant'.
