Martin Luther King Jr. Day honors a great man with some revolutionary ideas. Kids may simply understand the day as a reason for being off of school, but it's easy to bring King's messages of nonviolence, hope, and service to any age level. Read on for 6 ways to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr., Day by commemorating his life works including volunteering, going vegetarian, and writing your family's own "I have a dream" speech -- and each idea is accompanied by an inspirational quote from the revered leader as well.
1. Volunteer.
"Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve."
King worked tirelessly for a number of causes including civil rights and poverty issues. Make Martin Luther King Jr. Day (or any other day) a day of service in his honor. Pick an activity your children will enjoy to ensure their enthusiasm and involvement. For example, if your tots want to spend every minute playing outside, pick a park or playground and clean up any trash or recycling on the grounds or plant flowers at your children's school. Kids can also participate in more formal, organized volunteer efforts. Check out this site for opportunities across the country.
2.Check out library books.
"Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education."
Martin Luther King Jr. was obviously a fan of learning: in addition to earning a phD, he was extremely well-read from an early age. Throughout his life, King cited the influence of what he had read: Gandhi and Thoreau were just two of his inspiring and guiding forces. Inspire your own tots with some age-appropriate, King-themed books from the library. For younger ones, there are dozens of books about everything from King's childhood to the Civil Rights movement . Older kids can read some of King's own works.
3. Go vegetarian or vegan.
"Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way."
While King himself was not a veg-head, his wife Coretta Scott King was vegan for the last ten years of her life and their son Dexter Scott King, a vegan and animal rights activist, believes that King likely would have given veganism a try had he lived long enough. Vegetarianism is also a natural extension of King's tenets of nonviolence. So serve up some collard greens, sweet potatoes, and pecan pie (some of King's favorite foods and all veg-friendly!) to honor the man.
4. Choose a family charity and make a donation.
"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?"
King, the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize at 35 years old, donated his prize money to serve the civil rights movement. Often, charitable donations are looked at as an adult, financial matter and are done without our children's knowledge. Make giving a family affair by choosing a charity with your kids and making a donation. It doesn't have to be significant: a few dollars can seem like a huge amount at a young age. So clean out the change in your wallets and under the couch cushions and plant the seeds for a lifetime of giving. Your little ones can even make their own donation jar and decorate it.
5. Learn about local environmental issues and discuss with your children.
"The time is always right to do the right thing."
King was actually assassinated while fighting for the rights of sanitation workers, and he has been called by some "the father of the environmental justice movement." To honor the groundwork King laid, cut out clippings from the newspaper about local environmental issues and share them with your children. Take a walk around the city, town, or neighborhood you live in and point out relevant examples of environmental changes or problems. For example, if the town river is polluted, discuss any efforts being made to clean it and see if your kids have any ideas for improving the situation. Seeing how the world has changed on a smaller, more local scale could have a big impact on them.
6. Write an "I have a dream" speech with your child.
"No person has the right to rain on your dreams."
Read King's amazing, impacting speech with your little ones, then tap into your children's hopeful and not-yet-jaded world view by having them write (or dictate) their own "I have a dream" speech. Make the project multi-media by having them illustrate their dreams and ideas. Once the day is over, store their masterpieces until next year when you all can see how their hopes and aspirations have changed.

The Sun Java System Web Server includes a default search application that provides basic search query and search results pages. These web pages can be used as is, or customized to meet your specific needs. Such customizing might be as simple as re-branding the web pages with a different logo, or as complex as changing the order in which search results are displayed.
The default search application provides sample JSPs that demonstrate how to use the search tag libraries to build customized search interfaces. You can take a look at the default search application located at [install_dir]/lib/webapps/search/ as a sample application that illustrates the use of customizable search tags.
The default search interface consists of four main components: header, footer, query form, and results.
These basic elements can be easily customized simply by changing the values of the attributes of the tags. More detailed customizing can be accomplished using the tag libraries.
The Search interface consists of the following components:
The header includes a logo, title, and a short description.
The footer contains copyright information.
The query form contains a set of check boxes representing search collections, a query input box, and submit and Help buttons.
The results are listed by default in 10 records per page. For each record, information such as the title, a passage, size, date of creation, and URL are displayed. A passage is a short fragment of the page with matched words highlighted.
The query form contains a list of check boxes for search collections, a query input box, and submit button. The form is created using the <s1ws:form> tag along with <collElem>, <queryBox>, and <submitButton> tags with default values:
<s1ws:form> <s1ws:collElem> <s1ws:queryBox> <s1ws:submitButton> </s1ws:form>
The query form can be placed anywhere in a page. It can also be displayed in different formats such as with a cross bar where the collection select box, the query string input box, and the Submit button are lined up horizontally, or in a block where the collections appear as check boxes, and the query input box and Submit button are placed underneath.
The following examples show how the <searchForm> set of tags may be used to create query forms in different formats.
The sample code below creates a form with a select box of all collections, a query input box and a submission button all in one row.
<s1ws:form>

 <s1ws:collElem type="select">	  <s1ws:querybox size="30"> <s1ws:submitButton class="navBar" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; width: 50px">

 </s1ws:form>
You can create a form block in which form elements are arranged in a sidebar titled "Search", which uses the same format as other items on the sidebar.
In the sample code given below, the form body contains three check boxes arranged in one column listing the available search collections. The query input box and the Submit button are placed underneath:
<s1ws:searchForm>

Search

  <s1ws:collElem type="checkbox" cols="1" values="1,0,1,0" />

  <s1ws:querybox size="15" maxlength="50">

  <s1ws:submitButton class="navBar" style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; width: 50px">

 </s1ws:searchForm>
Search results are generated as follows:
The <formAction> tag retrieves values from all of the form elements and conducts basic validations.
The <search> tag, the <resultIteration> tag and other tags occur inside the <formAction> tag and have access to the values of all of the form elements.
The <search> tag executes the search with the query string and collections from the <formAction> and saves the search results in pageContext.
The <resultIteration> tag then retrieves and iterates through the result set.
You can customize the search results page simply by changing the attribute values of the tags.
The following sample code starts with a title bar, and then displays a number of records as specified, and finally, a navigation bar. The title bar contains the query string used in the search along with the range of total records returned, for example, 1– 10. For each record, the records section shows the title with a link to the file, up to three passages with keywords highlighted, the URL, the date of creation, and the size of the document.
At the end of the section, the navigation bar provides links to the previous and next pages, as well as direct links to eight additional pages before and after the current page.
<s1ws:formAction /> <s1ws:formSubmission success="true" > <s1ws:search scope="page" />  (...html omitted...) <s1ws:resultStat formId="test" type="total" /> Results Found, Sorted by Relevance	 Sort by Date	  <s1ws:resultNav formId="test" type="previous" caption="" /> <s1ws:resultStat formId="test" type="range" /> <s1ws:resultNav formId="test" type="next" caption="" /> <!img alt="Next" src="images/arrow-right.gif" border="0" WIDTH="13" HEIGHT="9"> (...html omitted...)
 <s1ws:resultIteration formId="test" start="1" results="15">
  <s1ws:item property='number' />. 	  <a href="<s1ws:item property='url' />"><s1ws:item property='title' />
 <s1ws:item property='passages' />  <s1ws:item property='url' /> - <s1ws:item property='date' /> - <s1ws:item property='size' /> KB

 </s1ws:resultIteration>
 (...html omitted...) <s1ws:resultNav formId="test" type="previous" /> <s1ws:resultNav formId="test" type="full" offset="8" /> <s1ws:resultNav formId="test" type="next" /> (...html omitted...) </s1ws:formSubmission>
The basic search result interface can be easily customized by manipulating the tags and modifying the HTMLs. For example, the navigation bar may be copied and placed before the search results. Users may also choose to show or not show any of the properties for a search record.
Besides being used along with a form, the <search>, <resultIterate> and related tags may be used to listed specific topics. The following sample code lists the top ten articles on Java Web Services on a site:
<s1ws:search collection="Articles" query="Java Web Services" />

Java Web Services

 <s1ws:resultIteration>
 <a href="<s1ws:item property='URL' />"> <s1ws:item property='Title'/>
 </s1ws:resultIteration>

If you need the form and results pages to be separate, you must create the form page using the <form> set of tags and the results pages using the <formAction> set of tags.
A link to the form page needs to be added in the results page for a smooth flow of pages.
Note the following tag conventions:
Classes for tags belong to the package com.sun.web.search.taglibs.
All the pageContext attributes have the prefix com.sun.web. An example of the attribute for search results, is com.sun.web.searchresults.form_id, where form_id is the name of the form.
Tag libraries are referenced with the prefix s1ws. Names of tags and their attributes are in mixed case with the first letter of each internal word capitalized, for example, pageContext.
The Sun Java System Web Server includes a set of JSP tags that can be used to customize the search query and search results pages in the search interface.
For a complete list of JSP tags that you can use to customize your search pages, refer to the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Developer's Guide to Web Applications.

The fourth-ranked Florida women's tennis team defeated 13th-ranked Stanford, 4-2, at the Ring Tennis Complex.
The fourth-ranked Florida women's tennis team defeated 13th-ranked Stanford, 4-2, at the Ring Tennis Complex.
The match, part of the inaugural USTA College Match Day, brought to the courts Sunday a standing-room only crowd of 1,033, the second largest in program history and saw a come-from-behind win for the Gators (6-1) in handing Stanford (4-2) its second loss of the year.
The win also extends Florida's overall home winning streak to 112 straight matches and 117 regular-season home matches.
"We talked beforehand that we kind of knew it was going to be the classic Stanford-Florida battle," Florida head coach Roland Thornqvist said. "It was going to be a lot of points, long games, long sets, grueling and we knew that if we could make it that, that was going to give us the best chance to win.
"I think we regrouped really well and found a nice rhythm in singles to make points long, and obviously we had some spectacular play at two because the kid at two (Kristie Ahn) for Stanford is world-class. That kid has played center court U.S. Open, and so for Sofie (Oyen) to get off the court quick, for Olivia (Janowicz) to get off quick, that really set the tone for us, but it's a team of warriors." Winning for UF were Sofie Oyen at No. 2 singles, Alexandra Cercone at No. 3, Brianna Morgan at No. 4 and Olivia Janowicz at No. 6. The Gators open SEC play at Missouri on Friday. Lacrosse: Four players scored multiple goals to help lead No. 3 Florida to a 17-7 win over UAlbany at Donald R. Dizney Stadium. The Gators improved to 6-0 with help from leading scorer Shannon Gilroy, a sophomore midfielder who recorded five goals and a career-high and UF single-game high eight draw controls. Gilroy, senior attack Ashley Bruns, senior attack Kitty Cullen and senior midfielder Brittany Dashiell all chipped in at least two goals apiece. Gilroy's eight draw controls bested her previous high of seven she recorded three times in her career. The eight draw controls also pushed her career total to 104, as she becomes the second Gator to record 100 in her career. Florida is back in action Saturday as it travels to Miami to take part in the Orange Bowl Classic with a meeting against rival No. 6 Syracuse at Sun Life Stadium. The Orangemen and Gators met in the NCAA final four, where SU won 14-13 in overtime. Opening draw is set for 5 p.m. on Sun Sports. Women's basketball: Trailing by 13 points with 10:17 remaining, Florida used a 21-4 run to erase the deficit and earn a 67-671 win against Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Sophomore Kayla Lewis scored 15 points with 11 rebounds to post the third double-double of her career, while junior Jaterra Bonds scored 11 of her game-high 15 points in the second half, as the Gators (16-12, 5-9) halted their three-game skid and collected their first win in Tuscaloosa since Feb. 5, 2009, when the Gators claimed the 92-71 victory in Coleman Coliseum. Alabama fell to 12-15, 2-12. The Gators return to action at 7 p.m. Thursday, when they play host to Arkansas in their final regular-season home game. Jennifer George, UF's lone senior, will be honored in a postgame ceremony. SEC Indoor Track and Field: Andrew Irwin cleared a career-best 18 feet, 4� inches to win the pole vault, Arkansas teammate Tarik Batchelor won the triple jump at 54-2� and the host Razorbacks swept the team titles in the SEC Indoor Track and Field Championships. The Razorbacks finished with 152� points for their seventh SEC indoor men's title in the last eight years and 19th overall since joining the conference in 1992. Florida was second at 117. The women's competition came down to the final event, with Arkansas extending a one-point lead in the 1,600-meter relay when Regina George, Sparkle McKnight, Gwendolyn Flowers and Chrisuna Williams pulled away from LSU and the rest of the field. The Razorbacks finished with 116� points, five more than LSU. The Texas A&M women also finished third, with 88 points. Florida was next with 77� points and Georgia fifth with 53�. Women's golf: Getting a sub-70 round from sophomore Camilla Hedberg along with a two-under (70) from senior Isabelle Lendl, third-ranked Florida is in fifth place (-2, 286) after the first round of the Allstate Sugar Bowl Invitational at the English Turn Golf Club in New Orleans. Florida is four shots behind overall leader and host school Tulane (-6, 282). The three-under (69) for Hedberg is her first under 70 round since the second round of the Betsy Rawls Invitational in late October when she fired a 67, her second lowest 18-hole score of the year. Sunday's 69 is also Hedberg's team-leading 12th even or under par round and fifth lowest of the 2012-13 season. Hedberg sits in a tie for fourth place, just one shot ahead of her teammate, Lendl, who is in a tie for seventh place after a two-under (70). Men's golf: Led by senior T.J. Vogel, fourth-ranked Florida is in a tie for sixth place after the first day of the John Hayt Collegiate Invitational in Ponte Vedra Beach. Vogel carded a 69 (-3) for the first 18 holes of play. As a team, UF recorded a 292 (+4) on the first round at the par-72, 6,910 yard course. The team is tied for sixth with Tulsa and UAB. Florida trails North Florida, the host and first round-leader, by 16 strokes going into Monday's second round. Vogel recorded an eagle and two birdies against one bogey over the first nine holes. Vogel finished the back nine at even-par. He is tied for sixth place.

Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda said Thursday that he would be coming to Washington to testify before Congress about sudden acceleration in Toyotas.
Earlier Thursday, Rep. Ed Towns, D.-N.Y., the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, had extended a formal invitation to Toyoda to testify next Wednesday at a hearing on Toyota gas pedals.
In a statement posted on the Toyota web site, Toyoda said yes. ""I have received Congressman Towns' invitation to testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on February 24," said Toyoda, "and I accept. I look forward to speaking directly with Congress and the American people."
A Toyota spokesperson said the committee's request arrived in Japan in the middle of the night Japan time. Toyoda saw the request in the morning and promptly accepted. The spokesperson did not rule out the possibility that Toyoda would have other meetings while in Washington for the hearing.
Despite mounting pressure in the US and repeated questions at a Wednesday press conference at Toyota headquarters in Japan, Toyoda said he would travel to the US but had no plans to attend the congressional hearings. Toyoda did indicate, however, that he would consider appearing before Congress if he received a formal invitation.
In a letter to Toyoda, Rep. Towns requested his presence at the hearing because of "widespread public concern regarding reports of sudden acceleration in Toyota motor vehicles."
"To help clarify this situation," wrote Towns, "I am inviting you to testify." Towns asked for a response to the invitation by Friday, Feb. 19, at 5 p.m.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R.-Calif., ranking minority member of the committee, had said he hoped Toyoda would "seize the opportunity" to explain how he plans to "move Toyota forward."
Issa Willing to Subpoena Toyoda
Last week, Rep. Issa had said he was willing to subpoena Toyoda to compel him to appear before the committee.
"If we are not receiving the cooperation and transparency this Committee and the American people are demanding from Toyota, I would fully support the issuance of a subpoena," said Issa. "Whether it is for a microprocessor engineer or the top executive, we have a duty to determine what Toyota knew, when they knew it and if they met their full obligation of disclosure to U.S. regulators and the American people."
The hearing of the House Oversight Committee, scheduled for next Wednesday, Feb. 24, is entitled "Toyota Gas Pedals: Is the Public at Risk?" The hearing will look into the causes of random acceleration in Toyotas, and the federal response to Toyota's recalls.

Nanny park: Toddler-friendly, wallet-whomping McGuffey reopens
Critics of the McGuffey Park project wondered what was wrong with the old park, seen here in 2006, and questioned the $700,000 expenditure.FILE PHOTO BY HAWES SPENCER
On Saturday, November 10, the new McGuffey Park was opened to the public. After a whopping $700,000 facelift financed by a mix of private funds and $400,000 from the city, the new park, adorned with modernist play equipment like the Spica and the Edge, welcomed "swarms" of visitors, according to a story in the Daily Progress.
However, on a visit to the park shortly after noon that day, we noticed at most a dozen adults and children. In addition, we had to make a sudden stop turning right onto Second street from High street to avoid some kids crossing the street with balloons, which made us wonder anew about the wisdom of putting the main entrance to the park right on the busy corner. Still, the following Monday, a little after 4pm, there were at least 26 children, mostly toddlers, swarming over the new play area. (Downtown houses of worship make daily pilgrimages with their day-care charges.)
The park also includes a lonely looking round basketball court, and– despite early objections from one city planner, who believed it was inappropriate for a public park– a mosaic-tiled donor wall.
The makeover was undertaken in part because the founders (and fundraisers) of a group known as the Friends of McGuffey Park characterized the old site as dangerous and crime-ridden. In an article in the June 18, 2007 Daily Progress, the McGuffey Friends cited "illegal activity" going on there at night and described finding "needles and condoms," despite police reports that show far less crime than at nearby Lee Park and only a handful of incidents since 2004.
In recent press accounts, the McGuffey Friends said in a November 11 DP article, there were "vagrants sleeping in the park during the day" and that it was "not a place many liked to take their children." Ironically, the lovely new wooden benches in the park, two at least 30 feet long, seem to be ideal spots to sleep off a bender.
Recently, Denver Post columnist David Harsanyi appeared on the NBC Nightly News to discuss the trend toward making playgrounds safer. Harsanyi is the author of a recent book, Nanny State, which examines our national obsession with safety. Standing beside a spica exactly like the ones installed at McGuffey Park– equipment he said makes playgrounds look more like "post-modern sculpture gardens... and not something a kid would enjoy"– he explained that our "hyper-risk averse" culture was taking the fun out of playgrounds.
"Here, there is no risk," Harsanyi said of the new playground. "Everything is soft and fake."
He pointed out that many parks have banned swing sets because they're considered too dangerous. And as Harsanyi notes, some playgrounds even have rules that prohibit running. Thankfully, McGuffey is not one of those.
The headline of the reopening story in the Daily Progress, November 11, called the park "now more family friendly." However, for seven years, a Hook reporter lived on Altamont Street and took his children to McGuffey Park almost daily.
Once, one of those children carved his name in one the old trees, thinking it would be there for years to come. But alas, that was one of the scores of trees felled for the renovation.
Not once did the reporter or his children ever feel threatened in the park, nor did they witness any accident worse than a scraped knee or a bumped head. In fact, the children loved going there, loved the odd nooks and crannies in the old park, as did other families and children in the area, and the most popular piece of playground equipment was the old metal merry-go-round, with its magical aura of risk and menace, on which children shouted to be spun faster and faster.
The new toddler-friendly McGuffey Park
Despite early objections that it was inappropriate for a public park, the new McGuffey includes a mosaic donor wall.
No three-point corner shots at McGuffey's round b-ball court.
McGuffey's waterwall. "What does it do?" asked one child.
Two wooden benches at the park are at least 30-feet long!

Vasomedical to Raise Awareness about EECP® Therapy as an Effective Treatment for Heart Disease in Diabetic Patients
Company to Showcase EECP Therapy at 2013 Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association
Jun 03, 2013, 08:30 ET
WESTBURY, N.Y., June 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Heart Association (AHA) Heart Disease and Stroke 2013 Statistical Update reported that 19.7 million Americans over the age of twenty have physician-diagnosed diabetes, and there are an additional eight million Americans with undiagnosed diabetes. The top causes of disability and death among patients with diabetes are heart disease and stroke, and these patients suffer more complications and higher failure rate with the current methods of treating heart disease, including medication, stenting and bypass surgery. It has been long established that Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP®) Therapy, a noninvasive treatment for patients with ischemic heart disease, is equally effective in treating heart disease for diabetic patients as it is in the non-diabetic patient population.
As such, Vasomedical, Inc. ("Vasomedical") (OTC BB: VASO), a diversified medical technology company specializing in the design, manufacture and sale of medical devices for noninvasive cardiology including EECP Therapy systems, the gold standard of ECP technology, announced today that it will attend and showcase the Therapy, at the 73rd Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association taking place on June 21-25, 2013 at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago, Illinois. The Company will also exhibit its BIOX™ ambulatory monitoring and analysis products and EZ™ series patient management products.
EECP Therapy is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive outpatient treatment that increases blood flow and reduces the workload of the heart, which is critical for diabetic patients. Published clinical studies have also shown that EECP Therapy reduces arterial stiffness, improves cardiovascular health and has a significant effect on improving patient quality of life. The Therapy is covered by Medicare and most private insurance companies for the treatment of refractory angina.
In addition, recently published clinical studies demonstrated that EECP Therapy is effective in managing glycemic levels and controlling abnormal glucose tolerance in patients with type-2 diabetes. This has increased interest in the effectiveness of EECP Therapy to benefit this patient population.
"While currently EECP Therapy is FDA-cleared for treating patients with certain cardiovascular diseases, clinical studies suggest that this treatment has additional beneficial results when used for patients with diabetes, although it is not a cleared indication yet," stated Dr. John Hui, Chief Technology Officer of Vasomedical. "We believe EECP Therapy should be more widely utilized to treat heart disease and related complications in diabetic patients, since the majority of these patients suffer or die from cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, published scientific evidence has demonstrated a reduction of blood sugar levels, improvement in insulin resistivity and exercise ability in diabetic patients who have undergone EECP Therapy. Therefore, the potential of EECP Therapy for diabetic patients should be further explored."
"The Scientific Sessions, which will be attended by healthcare professionals from around the globe, is a great opportunity to introduce these professionals to EECP Therapy as a treatment option for their diabetic patients suffering from heart disease," continued Dr. Hui. "By preventing cardiovascular diseases and lowering risk factors, EECP may contribute significantly to reducing the growing threat of diabetes and the high rate of heart disease-related complications and deaths in this patient population, potentially saving billions of dollars for our healthcare system."
Vasomedical will be located in Booth #1054 in the exhibition hall.

Officials' update: Town offices open Monday; slower plow progress
Fairfield is slowly struggling back to normalcy, officials said Sunday, after being walloped by a blizzard two days earlier that dumped 35 inches of snow on the town in a 24-hour period.
First Selectman Michael Tetreau said municipal offices will be open Monday on their regular schedules.
The Department of Public Works, he said, has indicated it will be able to have parking lots for town offices cleared and Tetreau said this will enable the town to staff its call center, much like it did during Superstorm Sandy.
The road clearing, however, is going slower than anticipated, officials said, because of the large amount of snow. In order to clear streets, payloaders need to be used. The goal is to make one pass and get one lane clear on every road, though it may take until the end of Monday for that goal to be achieved.
Some residents, however, have not been showing much patience with the progress being made by DPW crews, who have been on the job since snow start falling Friday morning.
The phone was ringing at 7 a.m. at the public works garage Sunday, and those calls have continued non-stop. By the afternoon, employees had fielded well over 300 calls.
"I think our DPW has done a tremendous job," said Police Chief Gary MacNamara.
MacNamara said there have been no fatalities in town attributable to the snow storm, and after a flurry of accidents during the day Friday, the call volume has been low, the chief said.
As people venture out in their cars, MacNamara urged them to be cautious, particularly at intersections where sight lines are obscured by large piles of snow. "At every intersection, it can be an extreme hazard," he said. "It's very difficult to see coming out of the side streets and drivers should be very cautious."
MacNamara also said motorists should also be aware that there is a large number of pedestrians out and about.
He said some cars abandoned by owners have been towed to allow street clearing to by town crews to proceed. MacNamara noted that Fairfield does not have regulations that restrict parking during emergencies, but that subject is on the agenda for Wednesday's Police Commission meeting. It had been set for discussion agenda prior to the storm, he added.
MacNamara said town officials, including the first selectman, Fire Chief Richard Felner and DPW Superintendent Scott Bartlett will meet again at 10 a.m. Monday to assess the progress of the cleanup.
In the immediate aftermath of the storm on Saturday, Bartlett had described himself as "disgusted."
Not with his crews, who had been working round-the-clock since it started snowing Friday morning, and not with the department's equipment.
It was Mother Nature who was the target of his wrath.
"Mother Nature is really being cruel lately," Bartlett said, after more than 2 feet of snow was dumped on town by the overnight blizzard.
Bartlett and Deputy Fire Chief Art Reid both told the Fairfield Citizen that snow plows and emergency vehicles found themselves stuck in the wind-driven snow at the peak of the storm.
The town appeared to have weathered the storm without any major emergencies, however.
Perhaps most surprisingly, there were no power outages in town reported by United Illuminating early Saturday.
Reid also reported that fears of significant flooding during Friday night's late high tide did not materialize.
Now, the town's focus turns to digging out and Reid reminded residents that it will take several days to get roads clear, or in some cases, scarcely passable.
Bartlett's highway crews have been on the job since 7 a.m. Friday, and are using 12 payloaders to pick up the snow.
"We've got about 50 percent of the main roads cleared, an who hope to have the rest done by about 11 a.m.," Bartlett said. After that, attention will turn to secondary roads and then to the cul-de-sacs in town.
On Sunday, Bartlett said, crews were to begin to truck the snow that they've been piling up down to the parking lot at Jennings Beach just to get the massive amounts out of the way.
He said numerous cars were abandoned on streets after they became stuck Friday night, and officials are putting together a strategy to tow them as soon as possible.
"I've never seen this much snow in one event," Bartlett told the Fairfield Citizen. "This is a solid 2 feet in one drop. It's a lot of snow."
Police and firefighters are being held over their usual work shifts, Reid said, because those who were on duty during the storm can't get home, and those who are home can't get to work.
As of 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Tetreau had estimated that "50 percent of our main roads are clear. We are projecting to have the rest of the main roads cleared later today. The next priority will be side streets. We have 380 cul de sacs that will not be cleared until Sunday."
He also asked residents who live near fire hydrants to dig them out of the snow drifts as a fire-precaution measure.

Pellet Burning Insert v Wood Insert
Since I can't ski this summer, I am planning to move ahead w finishing my lower level.....shopping for a fireplace now cuz it is out of season.
Have 80k btu epa wood insert on main floor. Thinking pellet insert down stairs because it is easy for wife and daughters to fuel when I am not home and fires up with flip of a switch. Looking for experience of others w pellet stoves...
Not going gas as I have a very small propane tank and don't want to upsize it

We put one in our finished basement last fall and it was a great decision. Not an insert, but can give you my impressions of the stove. It stayed nice and cozy down there all winter, plus maintained the upstairs during the day (with furnace thermostat set back to 62 degrees). We run stove 24/7. I'm confident if run on one of the higher settings, it'd probably heat the whole house, but that wasn't the goal.
They do require some putzy weekly maintenance...emptying the ash pan, vacuuming ash out of flue cavities, and cleaning/scraping the burn pot. It takes around 20 minutes and if you get in the routine of doing it first thing on a Saturday or Sunday morning, it's a small price to pay for the warmth you get out of it. Once a year you need to sweep out the vent pipe. Beyond that, just add pellets! I built a hearth pad and installed the stove myself - not very difficult at all. HIGHLY recommend going with 4" vent rather than 3", and install an "outside air" kit so the stove sucks in combustion air from outside rather than the room itself.
No downsides I can see, other than the weekly cleanings, and having to buy pellets - my heat bills were easily cut in half, and factoring cost of pellets, we still came out ahead. The blower fan does make some noise, so keep that in mind if the stove will be in a common area. Ours isn't all that noticeable with the TV on, etc. Be happy to help with any questions you have - just shoot me a PM.

LAD Oct 2013 4/15 My hubby's annual camping trip with the guys.
I spent a few hours on this layout as I changed the layout 3 times. LAD Oct 2013 5/15
This is my daughter's school pictures from Kindergarten through 12th grade.
Lost track of the number but pretty sure it's more than the 7 I had expected to get done in the time I had this month.
Wonderful layouts. Thanks for sharing everyone.
Here is a layout I did today. LAD Oct 2013 6/15
I love to see how much our styles all differ from one another. Excellent work everyone!
My latest... Carving out Memories
link in gallery is here: https://www.pixelscrapper.com/elaine-nowak/gallery/carving-out-memories-layout-lad-oct-2013-orange-black
Don't forget to link to your layouts in the gallery on your forums posts! It makes it easier for people to comment on them that way. Also remember to tag your LAD layouts with: LAD Oct 2013
Here are layouts 4-12/40
I still have lots to go! (Although I have 11 more in the gallery that I'll post later today.) I thought I would get way more done while I was away this weekend scrapping with 11 other girls. I did laugh a lot! And it was a nice time away with friends.

I decided to do a layout without photos, and I got into the Christmas season a little early.

Hooray! Netflix has updated their iPad app for HD. That's what they say in the update... but it's just the buttons! Boo! the video is still in low resolution, not Full HD, so there will be no difference in the new iPad.
Which is weird, because Netflix streams in 1080p to Roku and Xbox 360. There's no reason not to send 1080p video to the iPad and its 2048x1536 pixel display. Netflix said they plan to do it, but wouldn't say when.
Right now, only the ABC app is Full HD. The rest of the third-party video apps on iPad are standard video resolution. Lame Netflix and everyone. Just lame. [Mashable via Ars Technica]

plan of third floor.
The first Single Brethren House was constructed in 1744 and housed 50 men and several boys. It became the home of the Single Sisters' Choir in 1748 when the Single Brethren moved into a new, larger building (depicted here). The second Single Brethren House has been in continuous use since it was built. It served as the residence for the Choir, but it also housed several of the smaller craft industries for the community. The use of rooms shown on the floor plan are taken from an undated drawing in the Bethlehem Moravian Archives.
Questions for Photo 2 and Drawing 2
1. Describe the building. Why do you think it is so large?
2. What were some of the uses of the different rooms?
3. Can you imagine what it might have been like to live in this building as part of a communal society? What might be some advantages and disadvantages to living in a dormitory setting such as this?
* The images on this screen have a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of Photo 2 and Drawings 2a, 2b, and 2c and but be aware that each file will take as much as 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Volleyball earns two wins in tri-match
In a tri-match competition against Emmanuel College and Colby-Sawyer College, the Brandeis University volleyball team continued its hot start to the year, winning both of its matches. The Judges topped Emmanuel in straight sets in the opener before battling back from two sets down to win 3-2 against Colby-Sawyer. Brandeis is now 9-2 on the season, matching last season's win total in just its 11th match of the year. Emmanuel falls to 3-9, while Colby-Sawyer moves to 3-6.
Behind a 21-kill effort from sophomore outside hitter Liz Hood (Albuquerque, N.M./Albuquerque Acad.) and a double-double by junior setter Yael Einhorn (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry Hill East), the Judges stormed past the Saints in the first contest at Red Auerbach Arena.
Brandeis grabbed the first four points of the first set, eventually jumping out to a 12-3 lead en route to a 25-15 win. The second set was far closer, as the Saints grabbed an early lead and stretched their lead as large as five points. Brandeis answered with a 10-1 run to pull ahead 23-18 led by four kills from Hood,. Kills from seniors Susan Sun (Acton, Mass./Acton-Boxborough) and Lauren Berens (Boulder, Colo./Fairview) sealed a 25-20 win for the Judges. Brandeis never trailed in the third set and clinched the match by a score of 25-21.
Hood finished with 21 kills and just six errors in 33 attempts for a season-high .455 hitting percentage. Einhorn led the team with 10 digs and 39 assists, while senior middle blocker Becca Fischer (San Antonio, Texas / Clark) notched seven kills and a season-high five digs.
The Saints were paced by freshman outside hitter Danielle Rose (Wilkes-Barre, Pa. / Holy Redeemer) who had six kills, and senior libero Yun-Ting Lee (Keelung, Taiwan / Cambridge Rindge & Latin), who finished with nine digs and a match-high two service aces.
The Judges had a much tougher go of it in their match against Colby-Sawyer. CSC won closely contested sets at 26-24 and 25-23 to start the match before Brandeis began to battle back. The teams traded points most of the way in the third set, before kills from Hood and junior outside hitter Si-Si Hensley (Fullterton, Calif. / Troy) sealed the set at 25-20. Brandeis pulled away late in the fourth set as well, forcing a fifth set with a 25-22 win. Three kills apiece from Hood and Hensley gave the Judges the decisive fifth set, 15-11, and the team's fifth consecutive victory.
Fatigue may have contributed to Colby-Sawyer fading down the stretch; in between Brandeis' two matches, the Chargers and Saints went five sets, with Colby-Sawyer eking out the 3-2 victory.
Einhorn led the way for the Judges against the Chargers with a career-high 51 assists to go with nine digs. Hood had a match-high 19 kills, while Hensley recorded a double-double of her own with 15 kills and 14 digs. Rookie middle blocker Maddie Engeler (Sandusky, Ohio / St. Mary Central Catholic) had nine kills in just 15 attempts making just three errors for a .400 hitting percentage. Sophomore libero Elsie Bernaiche (Plantsville, Conn. / Southington) led the team with 25 digs.
The Chargers had a balanced attack on offense, with junior Courtney O'Hara (Mystic, Conn.), sophomore Jackie Keating (Marshfield, Mass.) and junior Emilee McBride (Strafford, N.H.) notching 16, 15 and 14 kills, respectively. O'Hara also had 11 digs to give her a double-double, while junior Ally Le-Bruno's (Medfield, Mass.) 28 digs were a game high.
The Judges will be in action again next weekend with four matches when they cohost the MIT Invitational. Emmanuel and Colby-Sawyer both have matches on Tuesday night. Emmanuel will play host to Framingham State University, while Colby-Sawyer will travel to New Hampshire to take on Keene State College.

Tuesday night, [lastfm]Bon Jovi[/lastfm] pulled no punches and rocked a legendary set for Live on Letterman. A fortunate few fans packed into the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York and were joined by an unstoppable army of Bon Jovi fanatics across the globe watching live online, dancing along at home and tweeting their love for the New Jersey powerhouse.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
The fans wanted the hits, and Bon Jovi didn't disappoint, delivering 10 of their greatest career-spanning tracks. From the moment Jon leapt on stage and launched into "You Give Love a Bad Name," the theater and computer speakers at home were set ablaze with high octane rock n roll and searing ballads.
The boys from New Jersey proved they've been around the block, but are still running strong, as they seamlessly transitioned into "We Weren't Born to Follow" and "Lost Highway," before defiantly belting out "It's My Life."
"What Do You Got?" one of the two new tracks on Bon Jovi's Greatest Hits, proved to be an instant classic, as the fans were already singing along and swaying in the crowd. The moment Richie Sambora pulled out his double-necked acoustic, everyone knew what was coming, and "Wanted Dead Or Alive" had the crowd and everyone at home hollering along.
The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame nominees never disappointed and built to a clear crescendo wrapping up the show with fan favorites "Keep the Faith" and "Bad Medicine" before launching into a soulful cover of [lastfm]the Isely Brothers[/lastfm] "Shout." Then, just as the crowd thought it was over, Jon and the boys returned for an encore with the only song possible, "Livin' on a Prayer." It was truly epic.
If Twitter and Facebook are any indication, this may have been one of the most popular Live on Letterman shows yet. Fans online overflowed with praise for Bon Jovi and the show. Here are a few of our favorites:

Headsets come in many sorts and shapes. And laptops come with different sorts of headset jacks – there is the classic variant of one 3.5 mm headphone jack and one 3.5 mm mic jack, and the newer (common on smartphones) 3.5 mm headset jack which can do both. USB and Bluetooth headsets are also quite common, but that's outside the scope for this article, which is about different types of 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) jacks and how we support them in Ubuntu 14.04.
You'd think this would be simple to support, and for the classic (and still common) version of having one headphone jack and one mic jack that's mostly true, but newer hardware come in several variants.
If we talk about the typical TRRS headset – for the headset itself there are two competing standards, CTIA and OMTP. CTIA is the more common variant, at least in the US and Europe, but it means that we have laptop jacks supporting only one of the variants, or both by autodetecting which sort has been plugged in.
Speaking of autodetection, hardware differs there as well. Some computers can autodetect whether a headphone or a headset has been plugged in, whereas others can not. Some computers also have a "mic in" mode, so they would have only one jack, but you can manually retask it to be a microphone input.
Finally, a few netbooks have one 3.5 mm TRS jack where you can plug in either a headphone or a mic but not a headset.
So, how would you know which sort of headset jack(s) you have on your device? Well, I found the most reliable source is to actually look at the small icon present next to the jack. Does it look like a headphone (without mic), headset (with mic) or a microphone? If there are two icons separated by a slash "/", it means "either or".
For the jacks where the hardware cannot autodetect what has been plugged in, the user needs to do this manually. In Ubuntu 14.04, we now have a dialog:
In previous versions of Ubuntu, you would have to go to the sound settings dialog and make sure the correct input and output were selected. So still solvable, just a few more clicks. (The dialog might also be present in some Ubuntu preinstalls running Ubuntu 12.04.)
So in userspace, we should be all set. Now let's talk about kernels and individual devices.
Quite common with Dell machines manufactured in the last year or so, is the version where the hardware can't distinguish between headphones and headsets. These machines need to be quirked in the kernel, which means that for every new model, somebody has to insert a row in a table inside the kernel. Without that quirk, the jack will work, but with headphones only.
So if your Dell machine is one of these and not currently supporting headset microphones in Ubuntu 14.04, here's what you can do:
- Check which codec you have: We currently can enable this for ALC255, ALC283, ALC292 and ALC668. "grep -r Realtek /proc/asound/card*" would be the quickest way to figure this out.
- Try it for yourself: edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add the line "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi". (A few instead need "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-dock", but it's not that common.) Reboot your computer and test.
- Regardless of whether you manage to resolve this or not, feel free to file a bug using the "ubuntu-bug audio" command. Please remove the workaround from the previous step (and reboot) before filing the bug. This might help others with the same hardware, as well as helping us upstreaming your fix to future kernels in case the workaround was successful. Please keep separate machines in separate bugs as it helps us track when a specific hardware is fixed.
Notes for people not running Ubuntu
- Kernel support for most newer devices appeared in 3.10. Additional quirks have been added to even newer kernels, but most of them are with CC to stable, so will hopefully appear in 3.10 as well.
- PulseAudio support is present in 4.0 and newer.
- The "what did you plug in"-dialog is a part of unity-settings-daemon. The code is free software and available here.

Nutrition and food safety remain top priorities for FAO and WHO
Graziano da Silva and Chan met to prepare for the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) in November
FAO and the World Health Organization (WHO) will continue to work closely on nutrition, food safety and antimicrobial resistance issues, FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva and WHO Director Margaret Chan said today. Graziano Da Silva thanked Chan for WHO's strengthened cooperation and support for FAO's work as the two leaders met with other senior officials at FAO Headquarters.
Graziano da Silva and Chan discussed joint efforts in preparing for the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2), an inclusive inter-governmental meeting on nutrition organized by FAO and WHO in cooperation with the High Level Task Force on the Global Food Security Crisis (HLTF), IFAD, IFPRI, UNESCO, UNICEF, World Bank, WFP and the WTO, which will be held at FAO Headquarters in Rome, 19-21 November 2014. At the meeting Graziano da Silva and Chan agreed that the upcoming ICN2 should also contribute to giving greater visibility to food quality and safety issues as an important element of nutrition security.
This high-level ministerial conference will propose a flexible policy framework to address today's major nutrition challenges and identify priorities for enhanced international cooperation on nutrition. As requested by the FAO Council, civil society and private sector organizations will be involved in the preparatory process through web-based consultations.
"FAO and WHO have been working together on many important areas: the Codex Alimentarius, food safety, antimicrobial resistance and zoonosis. In addition, this strategic meeting touches upon the importance of working together specifically to support the member states of both Organizations towards the preparation of the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2)", Chan said.
Leadership role in food safety
Graziano da Silva and Chan reiterated the commitment of FAO and WHO to continued collaboration in their unique responsibility of setting international food safety standards, through the jointly established Codex Alimentarius Commission, which will play an important role for future trade and health global issues. FAO also reaffirmed the critical importance that it places on its Food Safety Programme as a major contribution to the overarching goals of the Organization: food and nutrition security and agriculture-driven social and economic development.
FAO and WHO have collaborated since 1963 on the Codex Alimentarius, which develops harmonised international food standards, guidelines and codes of practice to protect consumer health and ensure fair practices in the food trade.
FAO's Agriculture and Consumer Protection Department is leading the development of a new strategy for food safety, in which strategic partnerships, for example with WHO and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), are essential for food safety governance.
The organizations agreed on the importance of taking a leadership role to ensure consistency in food safety, particularly in terms of strengthening regulatory systems and improving the overall impact of capacity development efforts.
The two leaders also discussed antimicrobial resistance, or when microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses develop an ability to withstand attack by medicines such as antibiotics, antifungals and antivirals.
Antimicrobial resistance is the main identified threat to human health at present and listed by the World Economic Forum as one of the 30 global risks of highest concern in 2014.
Both organizations agreed on the need to strengthen international cooperation through joint FAO-WHO-World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) common approaches to promote the responsible and prudent use of antimicrobial agents in humans and animals, and to minimize the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance as a necessary tool to eradicate hunger by combatting animal diseases.

A fail-safe approach for achieving "Hunger-Free World"
The very first goal, among the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), adopted by the Heads of Governments at the U.N.O. is the "eradication of extreme hunger and poverty" from the lives of people. However, the goal of eradication of extreme hunger and poverty from the world can be achieved, only when we deal with this issue in a comprehensive manner. To explain this point, I have presented below for India (in condensed form) that as to how we can eradicate extreme hunger and poverty from the lives of people.
Some Questions
1. Can the existing "Targeted Public Distribution System" (or the recent proposals of National Advisory Council of India, for the impending "Food Security Act"), remove hunger from India?
2. Does the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) provide dependable opportunities for unhindered growth of all the rural people of India?
3. Is the allocation of Unique Identity (UID) Number enough for banishing extreme hunger and poverty from India?
Perhaps, an emphatic "NO" is the only answer to the above questions.
Major constraints which hold us back from achieving the goal of "Hunger-Free India"
Artificial classification of people into below poverty line (BPL) and above poverty line (APL) groups.
Lacunae in functioning of the existing Targeted Public Distribution System.
So, how can we overcome these constraints?
1. Don't classify people into BPL and APL categories (or priority households, general households, and others) because flawless classification of people in these categories is not possible; instead extend the food-security net for all.
2. Meet out the most basic requirements (including Food) of all the people through Universal Public Distribution System (UPDS), with the help of private retail-chains.
3. For accomplishing the above flawlessly, bio-metric enabled National Identity (NID) Smart-Cards should be issued to all the citizens of the country; though the Unique Identity (UID) Number being issued, presently, can also do the job.
Likely Concerns & Their Solutions
Q. 1.: Why should APL people, comprising the rich and the super-rich, be given any subsidy?
Ans.: Inclusion of APL segment is necessary to ensure that no one is left out from the safety of food-security net. Moreover, after involvement of APL group, the execution of food-security scheme will also receive a definite boost.
Q. 2.: Where are enough food-grains (cereals) for Universal Public Distribution System?
Ans.: Only, about 85 million tons of cereals will be required for ensuring reasonable food-security for all the people, whereas about 190 million tons is the net availability of cereals in our country for consumption of people.
Q. 3.: Where is the infrastructure to undertake distribution of additional food-grains?
Ans.: We should rope in private retail-chains for augmenting "Public Distribution System" of the country, in the same manner as private players have been roped in the telecommunication sector, with apparent advantages for the consumers.
Q. 4.: What should be the quantum of entitlement through the UPDS?
Ans.: Say, a monthly quota of 6 kg food-grains, 500 ml kerosene oil (or 500 gm sugar), 500 gm pulses, 250 ml edible oil, and 250 gm iodized salt, can be given to all. It will cost only about Rs.1690/- per person per annum or Rs.2028 billion per year for 1.2 billion people, as per the cost worked out for the year 2010-11.
Q. 5.: Where are the resources for giving free food-grains to all?
Ans.: Additional expenses on expanded UPDS should be met by raising duties on those items which are largely consumed by the APL group. Thus, we can achieve a perfect hunger-free India, without straining the exchequer of the country.
Q. 6.: What are expected sources of revenue?
Ans.: If rationalization of subsidies were to be carried out on the heads of Chemical-Fertilizers, Petroleum-Products, Public Distribution System, Mid-day Meal, and Electricity-Sector, alone, a sum of Rs.2300 billion could have been saved for the year 2010-11, whereas for the year 2008-09, this saving would have been a whopping Rs.2590 billion, so there is no dearth of funds.
Q. 7.: There might be people, like, (a) the elite and (b) the farmers, who may not like to have food-grains and other commodities, through the aforesaid UPDS.
Ans.: The elite can be given an option to avail of reimbursement of their entitlement through income-tax adjustment, though the farmers can be adjusted for their entitlement by way of fertilizers or other means, also.
Apparent advantages of the aforesaid approach
1. All the people will have ample opportunities for growth; it will bring lasting prosperity for the whole country.
2. National wastage in handling of food-grains can be minimized.
3. Corruption can be minimized, which starts with the process of identification of the BPL families, continues with procurement, storage, and transportation of food-grains, and ends with diversion of significant quantity of food-grains and kerosene into the black market.
4. The Government will not need to undertake various porous schemes, like, MGNREGS and other selectively launched subsidy schemes, which are deeply embedding the culture of corruption in our country. Now, the poor will have entitlement to livelihood support as their right, without their being made a party to the all-around bungling prevalent in such corruption-prone schemes.
The feeling of uninterrupted supply of food-grains and other livelihood support to everyone will ensure immense empowerment among all. This, in turn, will also help in solving many other basic problems plaguing this country for long, like,
Feeling of helplessness among the poor.
Unequal opportunities of growth among the youth.
Feeling of deprivation among the poor.
Sense of insecurity among vulnerable women.
Deplorable practice of "Child-labour".
Alarming rate of "Child-dropout" from schools.
Appalling practice of "Bonded-labour".
Shocking state of corruption, etc.
A Word of Caution!
If we fail to deliver equitable growth opportunities for the entire society quickly, and keep waiting for the natural growth to trickle-down towards the bottom of the pyramid of people, we will have to pay a heavy price for this complacency. Because, now, people are getting restless, glimpses of which can be seen from the wide spread turmoil in the entire country, which is surfacing in various dreaded forms, like, naxalism, extremism, and ever escalating law & order problems.

Earlier today, we passed along some information about Buccaneers tackle Donald Penn.
Specifically, Mark Cook of PewterReport.com explained in a catch-all column that Penn "has failed to meet most of the weight clauses in his most recent contract."
Penn didn't like that very much.
In a tweet directed at our Twitter account, Penn declares that he's "330 right now in the best shape I been in in a long time stop reporting bullshit I made all my weigh in last yr n this yr."
He later added: "I still shut down the best DEs in the game n ball out every Sunday I gave up 4 sacks all yr last season get yo shit right."
Penn then apparently realized that the information came not from us but from Pewter Report, so he directed this to their Twitter account: "keep reporting bullshit on me n see the next time I do a interview wit u yo shit is lies get the facts 1st Cook b4 u say shit."
He later added, "This article here is some bullshit n false I been working hard n putting in work messed up my whole weekend."
So there you have it. Penn denies that he failed to meet his weight requirements, and he contends that he currently weighs 330 pounds and is in good shape. We'll monitor PewterReport.com for the next chapter in this unexpected slow-day Memorial Day fracas.

Judge: Ten Commandments monument at New Mexico city hall must be removed
BLOOMFIELD, N.M. – A federal judge on Thursday ruled that a New Mexico city must remove a monument inscribed with the Ten Commandments from the lawn in front of Bloomfield City Hall.
Senior U.S. District Judge James A. Parker said in his ruling in a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union that the monument amounts to government speech and has the "principal effect of endorsing religion."
Because of the context and history surrounding the granite monument, Parker said Bloomfield clearly violated the First Amendment's Establishment Clause. He gave a Sept. 10 deadline for its removal.
The suit was filed in 2012 on behalf of two Bloomfield residents who practice the Wiccan religion.
Peter Simonson, ACLU of New Mexico executive director, called the decision a victory for protection against government-supported religion.
"We firmly support the right of individuals, religious groups, and community associations to publicly display religious monuments, but the government should not be in the business of picking which sets of religious beliefs belong at City Hall," Simonson said Friday.
According to previous court testimony, plaintiff Jane Felix said the display "says that anybody who doesn't agree with this monument on city grounds is an outsider."
"It has no place on City Hall property," Felix said in March.
City attorneys say private individuals erected and paid for the monument under a 2007 city resolution. That resolution allows people to erect historical monuments of their choosing.
Bloomfield Mayor Scott Eckstein said he was surprised the judge would rule against "a historical document."
"The intent from the beginning was that the lawn was going to be used for historical purposes, and that's what the council voted on," Eckstein told the Daily Times (http://bit.ly/XMgAqu).
The city has 30 days to file an appeal. City attorney Ryan Lane said he will review the opinion and tell the city council if there is basis for one.
The 6-foot-tall monument was erected in July 2011 by a former city councilor and weighs 3,000 pounds.
