Difference between revisions of "Auli"
Revision as of 15:49, 2 January 2008
Auli is a city in the Indian state of Uttarakhand.
Auli is nestled in the lap of snow-capped peaks of Garhwal Himalayas, in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, near the world famous religious shrine of Badrinath. At an altitude of 2,500 to 3,050 m above sea level, Auli's well-dressed slopes are flanked by coniferous and oak forests, which offer a panoramic view of mountains. If you are out for adventure, fun and frolic this winter, find yourself in Auli, in the vicinity of the mountain peaks Nanda Devi and Mana Parbat. Feel the rush of air on your face, blaze a defiant trail as you go skiing on the well-dressed snow slopes. Or pelt each other with snow-balls on a blanket of snow. And if you're a lover of natural splendour let your eyes feast on the breathtaking view of snow-capped peaks all around you.
Get In
Air : For those travelling by air, the nearest airport is Jolly Grant, Dehradun, 273 km from Joshimath, 17 km from Rishikesh
Rail : Coming from any part of India, the nearest rail head is Haridwar 299 km from Auli.
Road : Auli is only 13 km drive from Joshimath. State transport and Union buses play regularly between Joshimath and Rishikesh (253 km).
Local Transport Union Buses and State Transport buses operate between Joshimath and Rishikesh (253 km), Haridwar (277 km), Dehradun (298 km) and Delhi (500 km).
From Joshimath onwards, both bus and taxi services are available for Auli. Deluxe coaches can also be arranged with prior notice for the group of 15 people or more. Cable Car : The most popular way to drop in at Auli is by the famed cable car service which runs for 3 km. Travelling by the rope-way, it is impossible to resist the captive beauty of the snow covered peaks, the alpine forest and the bracing climate.
16 km from Joshimath and accessible by a good motor able road, is the ideal ski resort of Auli with its slopes comparable to the best in the world. The resort is run by GMVN, which, apart from providing accommodation also provides all facilities for skiing. The season extends from January to March, during this time skiing festivals and the National Championships are held. The Auli slopes, descending from 3049 to 2915 m are flanked by stately conifers and oaks, which cut wind velocity to the minimum. Adding to the thrill of skiing is a 180 degree view of Himalayan peaks, which include Nanda Devi (7817 m), Kamet (7756 m), Mana Parvat (7273 m) and Dunagiri (7066 m), seemingly only snowballs throw away.
The conditions for skiing are perfect at Auli. A 500 m long ski-lift and an 800 m long chair-lift link the upper and lower slopes, and snow beaters and snow-packing machines maintain the smoothness of the slopes. Skiers can enjoy almost 20 km of virgin slopes, which provide excellent opportunities for cross-country, slalom and down-hill skiing events. Auli has now become a leading tourist spot. While its slopes beckon daring and gallant skiing enthusiasts, its pristine natural beauty and its alpine atmosphere lure many tourists. A haven for those who want to escape the humdrum of everyday life, conquer their fear of heights, savour nature in its purest form or just throw snowballs at each other.
Training Courses in Skiing:
Training courses are conducted in modules of 7 and 14 days. Training is imparted to the enrolled persons in modern skiing techniques by qualified instructors from Skiing and Tourist Resorts, Auli and Indian Institute of Skiing and Mountaineering, Gulmarg.

Assessment and Outcomes
by Richard Frye, Western Washington University
Introduction: Focus on Student Learning Outcomes
Tools & Techniques for Course
Improvement: Handbook for
Course Review & Assessment of
Student Learning (PDF)
Tools & Techniques for Program
Improvement: Handbook for
Program Review & Assessment of
Student Learning (PDF)
Both the Washington State Legislature and the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges (Western's accrediting agency) require all degree-granting programs to develop a plan for the assessment of student learning outcomes, and to document its use for continual program improvement. That both agencies now focus on the importance of student learning outcomes represents a significant convergence of two major trends in higher education: the assessment movement and the accountability movement.
Assessment has evolved from efforts to improve the quality of educational outcomes by continually improving teaching and learning, while accountability has evolved primarily from the efforts of state legislatures to make higher education more cost-effective. Simply put, assessment has historically been oriented toward internal review for improving student learning, while accountability has historically been associated with external review for proving institutional effectiveness.
Assessment is an iterative process for gathering, interpreting, and applying outcomes data from courses, programs, or entire curricula to improve program effectiveness, particularly as measured by student learning outcomes. Assessment is intricately associated with a "student-centered," or "learner-centered" model of institutional effectiveness, and represents a fundamental shift in how educational institutions define their missions and measure their effectiveness.
Accountability is essentially the same iterative process as assessment except that it is aimed at external reporting and review of educational outcomes. Accountability measures required by agencies like the Washington State Higher Education Coordinating Board (HEC Board) were originally oriented toward finding measurements of overall institutional efficiency in higher education, such as time-to-degree, graduation efficiency, and student retention. These have gradually given way to the view that the primary "output" of higher education is learning; as a result, accountability measures increasingly focus on student learning as the central measure of program effectiveness.
In the NWASC accreditation site visit report in 1999, Western was specifically directed "to identify and publish expected learning outcomes for each of its degree and certificate programs, and to actively engage faculty in defining learning objectives and developing specific plans to assess and evaluate outcomes at the course and educational program level."
Similarly, the HEC Board now requires each academic degree program, in its periodic review process, to include a formal plan for assessing how well program objectives in general, and student learning objectives in particular, are being met. Each unit must also demonstrate in periodic reviews: 1) how assessment data has been regularly gathered, and 2) how it has been used to improve program effectiveness and student learning. These requirements have been formalized in Western's Assessment Plan, which outlines program assessment responsibilities.
In addition, higher education has increasingly taken on the attributes of a market commodity, and schools increasingly compete for the best students and their tuition dollars. Prospective students and their parents, as well as legislators, are increasingly demanding convincing evidence of institutional effectiveness as part of their decision framework. If they are going to "buy" Western, they want to know what they are getting. Assessment data about student achievements, graduate placement, and alumni and employer satisfaction are an important part of the evidence prospective "customers" want to see about the quality of a Western degree.

Equinix strengthens its financial eXchange community in Europe with the addition of Fixnetix
29 November 2007, Frankfurt, GERMANY: Equinix Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the leading global provider of network-neutral datacentres and Internet exchange services, has added Fixnetix to its rapidly expanding financial eXchange community in Europe.
Fixnetix is the leading provider of ultra-low latency market data, including fast access to exchange, multi-lateral trading facility and broker data across the world. The company selected Equinix to provide direct access to Deutsche B�rse's market data streams, and to join the Equinix financial eXchange community in Europe to provide the highest performance market data streams and exchange trading connectivity to community members.
Equinix's financial eXchange community in Frankfurt now has almost 50 member organisations who benefit from direct access cross-connects to a range of financial hub resources including traditional exchanges, alternative venues, other liquidity pools, market data vendors, such as Fixnetix, trading platforms and clearing and settlement providers. Fixnetix will join the growing number of organisations that are already taking advantage of Equinix's proximity hosting service at its Frankfurt2 datacentre close to the Deutsche B�rse technical infrastructure.
"Our customers depend on Fixnetix to provide them with the fastest financial and market information," commented Hugh Hughes, chief executive officer of Fixnetix. "This requires us to constantly engineer and optimize every area of the end-to end delivery process for each exchange. By choosing Equinix to locate as close as possible to the Deutsche B�rse matching engine, Fixnetix can provide customers with the fastest access to this important service. Fixnetix's innovative �on the wire services' provide this without the need for any software or hardware to be installed on the customer's site. Using these techniques, Fixnetix ensures that each financial institution across Equinix's financial community in Europe can get access to every major European market in every location with the lowest latency metrics possible. In a post MiFID world, any price missed from one market as a result of market fragmentation is an opportunity lost."
"Fixnetix insists on the highest levels of performance for its end-to-end low latency market data services, so we're delighted that they chose Equinix and our direct access proximity services to provide the connectivity they needed for the Deutsche B�rse," added Petrina Steele, Equinix's Vice President for Business Development in Europe. "Equinix already provides the highest performance for trading on the Xetra and EUREX markets and we're pleased to now extend this advantage to Fixnetix."
Equinix's financial eXchange enables the development of neutral interactive financial communities in Europe, offering a highly resilient and convenient platform for banks, financial trading companies and financial exchanges to interconnect with each other and with multiple network service providers in order to execute financial transactions with a minimum of latency. Launched in 2006, the community now extends to almost 50 members including Yipes, Nico Trading, Merrill Lynch, Fortis and Citibank.
Equinix is the leading global provider of network-neutral data center and interconnection services, offering premium colocation, traffic exchange and outsourced IT infrastructure solutions. Global enterprises, content companies, systems integrators and network service providers look to Equinix Internet Business Exchange (IBX®) centers for world-class reliability and network diversity. Equinix IBX centers serve as critical, core hubs for IP networks and Internet operations worldwide. With 37 IBX centers located in 17 strategic markets across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, Equinix enables customers to reliably operate their mission-critical infrastructures on a global basis.
Fixnetix is a next generation market data telecommunications company that delivers proven end-to-end low latency market data. Based on client feedback, it provides the fastest access to exchange, multi lateral facility and broker data across the globe. As the industry's leading provider of low latency data, Fixnetix is a telecommunications company and a vendor of record with a number of major exchanges around the world, allowing it to provide data direct and reducing transmission times by hundreds of milliseconds. Its technology and services help hedge funds, banks and other financial institutions address market data issues such as delivery cost, support, flexibility, integration, bundling, MiFID and, of course, low latency.
Founded in 2005, Fixnetix is headquartered in London, United Kingdom.

RALEIGH � Police charged a 21-year-old man Thursday with molesting at least four dogs at the Wake County animal shelter where he worked as a volunteer.
Detectives arrested the man after they learned from a tipster that he posted photos on the Internet of himself molesting the animals.
Seadon Collins Etienne Henrich of Steves Drive in Zebulon was charged with four felony counts of crime against nature and three felony counts of disseminating obscenity, according to arrest warrants filed Thursday at the Wake County Magistrate�s Office.
Police think the incidents occurred over 18 months, ending Nov. 18, 2012, at the Wake County Animal Center on Beacon Lake Drive in East Raleigh.
Wake County Magistrate J.D. Saferight said Henrich first began working at the animal shelter as a volunteer and was eventually hired full time. He left the agency but returned as a volunteer who worked by himself at night, alone with the dogs.
Investigators say Henrich on at least four occasions �willfully and feloniously did commit the abominable and detestable crime against nature with a DOG,� according to the arrest warrants.
The police say Henrich then went to a website that features bestiality and posted at least three photos of himself �engaged in a sex act with a dog,� arrest warrants stated.
�I have been here 31 years and I thought I had seen everything, but this is new,� Saferight said.
Officials at the animal center could not be reached for comment Thursday.
Henrich was placed in the Wake County jail early Thursday afternoon under $70,000 bail. If he does post bail, he has been ordered to not go into any public or private facility where animals are kept.

Transfer Rumours: Thursday July 22, 2010Rumour • Author: Mehmet Pozam • Thursday, July 22, 2010
In today's press scan, news reports from the Turkish and International press linking Fenerbahçe with transfer moves for Asamoah Gyan, Guillaume Hoarau, Bafétimbi Gomis, Robinho and others. Please note that Fenerbahçe Worldwide does not confirm any of the following transfer rumours.
The following transfer rumours were linked in Turkish and International media, although each is pure speculation unless the club issues an official statement. We do not hold any of the rumours to be truth.
Fenerbahçe Worldwide will publish one article of transfer rumours per day (as long as there is demand), and the list will be updated throughout the day as more are reported. Please check the article periodically for updates.
Asamoah Gyan (Rennes)
Striker - 24 years old
Sabah, RMC Radio, Vatan, Habertürk, Fanatik
According to Sabah, Gyan has told French sports radio RMC that he is currently on holiday and has to talk with Rennes officials before deciding on his future. While Vatan reports that Fenerbahçe have shook hands with Rennes for Gyan's transfer, the same report includes quotes from a representative of the French club stating they have no intentions of selling Asamoah Gyan to Fenerbahçe. Habetürk and Fanatik claim that negotiations are ongoing between the two clubs and the transfer can finalize in the next two days.
Guillaume Hoarau (Paris Saint-Germain)
Striker - 26 years old
Le Parisien Sabah, Habertürk, Fanatik
Meanwhile, various sources in the Turkish press cite a report in Le Parisien which suggests that Fenerbahçe have targeted Paris Saint-Germain striker Guillaume Hoarau. The Yellow Canaries are rumoured to have the 26-year-old goal scorer as a back-up for Asamoah Gyan and rumours are that they have already made the French club an offer. However, Bundesliga side Schalke 04 is also reported to be interested in the player.
Bafétimbi Gomis (Olympique Lyonnais)
Striker - 24 years old
Habertürk, Fanatik
Habertürk and Fanatik also rumour that Fener are keeping tabs on Olympique Lyonnais striker Bafétimbi Gomis. The Yellow Canaries have reportedly contacted officials from the French club and have received a positive response for the transfer. The French-born Senegalese striker netted the goal ten times last season for Olympique Lyonnais.
Robinho (Manchester City / Santos)
Striker / Winger - 26 years old
Lastly, Turkish daily Sabah claims that Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş are bidding against each other for Manchester City star Robinho, currently on loan at Brazil's Santos. Rumours are that a representative for Fenerbahçe has met with Robinho's agent and has received a green light for the transfer. Istanbul rivals Beşiktaş have also been linked with the player and are said to be monitoring the situation very closely.
CSKA Moscow attacking midfielder / winger Miloš Krasić has also been linked with Fenerbahçe.
Disclaimer: Fenerbahçe Worldwide does not confirm any of the above rumours or state that they are anything else than mere speculation. Please wait for official announcements from the club management.
(Pictured above, Bafétimbi Gomis)
Comments (26)
Sercan is good and is possible.
But if you actually look closely Robinho signalled that he wanted a move to Fenerbahce.
Its hard to think robinho in a BJK uniform because he commented on their 8-0 loss to Liverpool as "embarrasing".
its all up to Fenerbahce.
Same with Gyan.
Robinho is close to being signed more than Gyan.
No way sercan will come, he will be in Bursasport because of champions league,
Robinho would be a good addtion to this team and so Bafétimbi Gomis the next drogoba in my opinion,
Guys we have to give full credit to AYKUT KOC' His transfer policy is fantastic, look at all the players we good since he has been with us, ANDRES DOS SANTOS, BARONI, STOCH, DIA.. THESE GUYS ARE YOUNG AND FANTASTIC PLAYERS, BRAVO TO AYKUT REALLY BRAVO.. HE IS BRININGING SPECIAL YOUNG TALENT TO THIS TEAM.. WE DNT WANT OLD PLAYERS WE NEED YOUNG FAST AND EXPOLSIVE PLAYERS,
We've been trying to sign him for the past 2 years.
since roberto carlos was with us.
I remember trying to sign Dinho and Fabiano :S
Guys remember, the best form of defense is ATTACK
It says Fener is offering in the region of 13 million. With that sort of money Fener was able to buy spains top scorer, despite not performing. Surely we can get someone better.
Semih has a better overall record too for a player that spends most of his time on the bench.
In fact even Guiza has better club record for Fener with 22 goals in 65 games. So he kinda scores a goal every 3 games.

I, for one, hope they do as good a job as they did on the original. Clearly, being faithful to the manga this time won't hurt any, but... here's hoping the animation, voice work and music is on par with what we got the first time out.

To be honest, I was trying to think of what to expect, because my thought is that they're going to do something completely different from the original series and manga (since I'd imagine they wouldn't want to be repetetive for people who know what happened in the manga). With that said, I was thinking what it would be like...... I mean, the Homunculi are all dead, so they can't be the bad guys... maybe they could introduce Father, but in a different way. I don't know. I have no idea what to expect.... I just think it'll be frikkin sweet!!
Oh, and Ed and Al will somehow get back to Amestris.

Expanding on that last point, I actually figured what happened was that since at the end of Conqueror of Shamballa, it wasn't confirmed that the gate was closed on either side, what might happen is that Ed and Al never figured out how to and Mustang was unable to destroy it, so they'll be able to go back, somehow. I don't know?

Ah finally FMA 2 ^_^
'Bratja' was so beautiful, I hope they use it again! And who knows, maybe Ling and Mei chan will actually exist.
The best would be for them to start all over again. Although, as long as it's convincing and not overly...cheesy or whatever, I'm happy

I'm rather interested in who the manga-only characters are going to be voiced by. Also, Ueda Yuji again as the Crimson Alchemist.
Let's blow things up.

I take the liberty myself
Sacred Twins' next chapter deal with the consequences, mainly her being alienated and not getting proper respect, with few having actual grudge, and her reaction to that.
TLR Stratos went with different route. Dan -as the current class rep- let Lingyin took the position to show her how underpowered she is in her fight against Uber!Ichika (remember, everyone else had at least 2 years training, she barely get half a year), although Yui accused him for being lenient because Lingyin is his childhood friend (actually, it's a bit of both)

Curbstomping M is probably a bad idea huh... I should run that =))
Well I was reminded of it at least.
EDIT: Again, new grunt units for PT as based off ReZel defenser B units... for some reason I am questioning the capability of the cast to combat even 1 of these.

Speaking of M, funny how I actually thought about having this kind of scene:
Halphas Bose is M(or any bigger villain), Balbadoro is a... some monster transforming satellite which I actually thought of including as a major plot item for Athena.

Active and on hiatus. Conflicting but that's how it is for me
While I don't really want to exaggerate reactions and blow things way out of proportion... What's the best case scenario (read: most peaceful) for an ISA student if she outright declares that she already has a boyfriend? And the thing is that this declaration falls into the ears of those who are already on a manhunt for one. That one.

^ The answer would be asking 5W 1H (no really)
It's half curious question and half interrogation, that's about as peaceful as you could get.
Hmmm, I felt TLR!Ichika is quite... flat
He got the skill, he got the awesome action, but... no engaging backstory? I could've always play with orphan card, which is a good idea, but I still somehow can flesh him out. Mirror verse is one chapter and I already felt he's on the right path to go, Sacred Twins version is halfway there, but TLR Stratos version is even more bland than canon.
I need someone to discuss about this comprehensively, so if anyone willing to join, I'll be grateful.

@stratos: Bombardment of questions on what the boyfriend is like. How they met. Advice on how to snag one. Where would be the best place to meet a guy. hmmmm
@zero: well Ichika there is flat because he holds the answer to everything. His heroic sacrifices turn into badass awesome moments where it turns out he's sacrificing something abstract and he seems to brush off anyway. Things like humanity, kindness and such which he eventually comes back and picks up the pieces for without any form of shame of being a hypocrite and whatnot. At least that's how I see it.

^ I suppose you refer to Sacred Twins version there, which is exactly what I want to portray. He's a walking deus machina, appearing in the right place and time, despite what he did is wrong when faced with common sense... and he knew. But at the very least, he has inner conflict. The crossover version? hardly.
I have several unposted crossover chapter and as I reread it again, Ichika there just... GAAAH!!
I'll hiatus for real, if not declare FUBAR and pulled the fic outright

the first draft, I can understand the emotion. Though the writing and word flow make it feel somewhat disjointed. Overall I like the message.
for the second. I'm not quite sure. The character growth is odd in that you take a direction where Laura takes solace in the fact she is only a weapon. Her hatred is her only source of stability and that Charles is trying to comprehend that while Ichika just wants Laura to change for the better. I guess I'm just biased against this angle but it seems kind of odd. Despite being a soldier you see her as sheltered and bland. Though the best words that you can tell her are Celty's words from Durararara --- "No matter what you think. The world isn't as cruel as you paint it."

Oh and Stratos, that plot... it's more awesome than it should. Really, you're really excellent at dropping subtle hammer.
But Laura never accept any explanation, EVER, only her own interpretation or anything. The only one she'll listen is Chifuyu... which is not different than canon, Chifuyu is figuratively mute. Which bring us the necessary evil: talk through the fist. or in this case, highly freudian jackhammer.
To be fair, the 'Innovator/Newtype' scene is just as important, with Laura seeing her own actions and the aftermath... from other people's view, and vice versa.

Monoleafs are inherently superior to a multileaf.But there were some design issues in the rear suspension that forced them to switch to multis for higher hp engines.
Mono has no friction between the leafs. It only flexes, no friction. Rides better too. Anytime a design can be a mono, they use it. Cheaper too.But the axle isn't well located in an F-body and the monos can deflect too much with hp. Install a radius rod or some aftermarket bars and monos should work OK with hp.

Should I Join AARP?
New York.
The woman clicked a few buttons, then informed me that AARP offers no regular medical insurance "in my area."
In my area? New York? The third largest state in the country -- we're talking about nearly 20 million people.
Sorry. Not New York. We do offer supplemental insurance in New York.
But that's for people 65 and over. You say your organization is geared for people starting at age 50. One of the biggest issues for people in their 50s is how to get medical insurance. A lot of people have retired early, or they've been laid off, or they work for a company that doesn't offer medical insurance.
Sorry. We offer Major Medical in some areas. But not New York.
So you can't help me until I turn 65?
When you're eligible for Medicare Parts A and B. But we have a lot of other benefits.
But no medical insurance. So I hung up the phone and wrote AARP off my list. I went on to obtain medical insurance through an association I belong to through the work I do. And ever since then I have ignored all entreaties to join AARP. Honestly, I didn't get too many after that conversation. I must have sifted down to their B list, or their C list. But lately, I've been getting more offers by email. They must have a new list. And now that I'm 60, not 50, I'm wondering again if there's any reason to join AARP. They might be able to offer me some medical coverage in a few years, and in the meantime, maybe there are some benefits I could use.
I knew they have a magazine -- I used to flip through it when I visited my mother-in-law, back in the 1980s. She always had a copy on her coffee table in her retirement complex in Florida. And every once in a while I'd see a copy at the library. Usually there'd be a picture of some middle-age movie star on the cover, someone like Susan Sarandon, Jessica Lange or Kevin Costner. And I'd think, the magazine is trying to appeal to 50 year olds. But the benefits they offer are geared to people over 65. What are they trying to pull?
But now that I'm closer to 65 than I am to 50, I've looked at a few of those recent emails. The last one I got promised a 30 percent discount on glasses, and 25 percent off for various footwear products. Plus, 30 off certain "approved" medications. There was also an AARP credit card offering 3 percent cash back on "eligible" purchases.
Hmmmm. I could use a new pair of glasses. But these seemed like pretty common discounts. Meanwhile, my medical insurance offers a discount eye program. I have a Visa card that gives me 5 percent cash back on certain purchases and 1 percent cash back on everything else. As for the medications, my current medical insurance requires me to pay only a modest amount for drugs. I have no idea if the AARP drug plan is any better. But it doesn't matter much for me anyway because, fortunately, I don't use many drugs.
AARP also offers me the "opportunity" to contribute to the AARP Foundation, which helps low-income people meet their basic needs. I'm sure this is a valuable foundation. But I already have plenty of other opportunities to support worthy causes.
I checked out another email, then followed a link to the AARP website to search out more benefits. Discounts at Border's and Tanger Outlet stores. Discounts at various hotels and car-rental companies. These discounts seem to parallel the discounts I get as a member of AAA -- 5 percent here, 10 percent there.
AARP does offer auto insurance and homeowner's insurance. But after the medical insurance episode, I wondered if you have to be over 65 to take advantage of these offers, or if you have to live in certain states. And since the other AARP discounts seem about the same as AAA discounts, I can't see why they'd be anything special.
I also noticed that AARP offers a legal service, with a 20 percent discount on lawyers' fees. I'm not going to sue anyone in the near future, but this might come in handy next time we sell our house, or if we want to update our wills or write a DNR order.
So I conclude that there's nothing "wrong" with AARP. It might offer some people some modest benefits, if you don't belong to AAA or any other similar organization. But if you do belong to AAA, the financial benefits seem redundant.
Otherwise, it seems, there's no point until you turn 65 and start looking for supplemental health insurance. So, I'll give them a call in a couple of years.
But I'd love to know -- am I missing something? Is there an AARP benefit I might need? What does AARP do for you? And would you recommend it to a Baby Boomer like me?

We've had an AARP membership since my DH turned 50 (now 14 years ago). It's cheap and we have easily made up for the cost in hotel savings. If you travel, many hotels have an AARP rate. Not a huge discount, but it all adds up. We also enjoy the magazine.
At one point, we were drawn in by their bright envelopes promising they could save us a LOT on auto insurance, so we had them quote us. They couldn't compare to our existing State Farm coverage, so we had no reason to switch. I can't imagine their other insurance options are any better.
Their credit cards are no better or worse than anyone else. We used an AARP VISA for a while, but their interest rates went up with all the others, and our rebates on other cards are better. We haven't cancelled them (why take the hit on my FICO), but they're sitting around in a drawer gathering dust.

Hope is right. You can save some money on hotels and motels and that's useful if you travel a lot by road, not so much if you travel by air. But there is something about all these "discounts", many of them are phony. It is often x% off the regular price and you may find you aren't saving anything or just 1-2%.
The other thing to consider is what AARP does with the proceeds. They donate to political parties and candidates. With a heavy emphasis on the Democratic Party. If you agree with that, that's fine. If you don't then you might want to decline.

I couldn't wait to sign up for AARP when I got my first mailing. I was a member for a few years, and then figured it wasn't worth the cost of membership.
If we're spending all our $$ on health insurance, how worthwhile are discounts that apply if we could travel all over the country?

Been a member nearly 20 years. Experiences have been both good and bad. The bad was auto insurance recently. I canceled them and got a better deal from State Farm. Otherwise, we have benefitted from some restaurant discounts and hotel-motel deals not available from others. The magazine usually has enough good tips for us to justify the dues.

The wife and I are AARP members. The magazine and the newsletter/newspaper have mostly the common fare of pop culture blather, like how to improve your sex life, etc. However, they also occasionally have some very succinct and useful articles about social security, medicare and such.
For example, we tore the 4 page section of the newsletter out and saved it as it had good information on Medicare this month. The rest we toss.
When we book motels or travel online, we check under different status types (AARP, or AAA, etc.) to comparison shop.
I think for people who have no access to any health insurance or supplemental insurance, it may be a good deal.
AARP is listed as a lobbying entity and members of the organization have (individually) made campaign contributions to Democratic candidates, but have ALSO contributed to Republican candidates. They were supporting candidates who had a positive bent toward medical care reform.
Some seniors who were against the medical reforms (60,000) quit their AARP membership and started the "American Seniors Association".
- April 18, 2011 at 5:40 PM
You can read the AARP magazine for free, online:
Other than that, I wouldn't send them a dime. AARP is a left, leaning liberal rag mag. A few years ago, they sold their souls and their senior members down the tube by being on the wrong side of medical reform.

All I know is I am mid 50's and they send me the recruitment mailings in spurts. I'll get about five then none for a few months, then more, that include a card with my name on it, like that's supposed to impress which it doesn't. They wouldn't be one bit of good for me, since I haven't the money to travel, nothing but a money pit. Another one. I got plenty of those already. They're sure determined though. I am wanted.
- November 25, 2011 at 2:55 AM
I've been a member of AARP for several years, and my husband and I would benefit from the hotel discounts, but we no longer travel as much as we used to. We used to (and still do) received mailing from the supplemental insurance (or Medigap) company that AARP endorses, and I was planning on getting it when it was time to sign up for it. In the meantime, however, after going on the internet and researching other supplemental plans, we opted to go to one that was much less expensive than the plan AARP endorses (United Healthcare Insurance Co.) All of the supplemental Plans are regulated by Medicare, and they are all the same for the various plans, i.e. Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, etc. The only difference is the cost. When you consider all of the high cost advertising that the AARP endorsed Plans do on TV and in magazine, you can understand why it is more expensive to buy.
Having said that, I do enjoy some of the articles in AARP's magazine and bulletin, and they are also informative.

I am about to turn 50. Been waiting to join AARP as I thought for some reason it was a huge advocacy group. My folks are members and I read their magazines. So, I've been looking into 20 year term life insurance for me and my SO. Wow did I get an education about AARP. I went to the website and if you want help, it takes you to NY Life. I'd rather ask the questions of an advocate first, then go to the sellers, right? So I call AARP. I get someone on the phone who was nice, but the only thing she could answer was that I'd have to talk to the NY Life rep. So I do that. First, she was nice as well. I told her I was shopping for 20 year level term policies. She said they could help. THEY CAN'T. First, the cap on their policy is $100K. However, it goes up every 5 years and they will cover you until you're 80. No part of that is level term. I say that. She tells me well...the level part is the $100K. I say that isn't the same thing. I ask, so you can't give me a 20 year level term,? She tells me that in 20 years I can convert the policy to whole life. HUH?!!! I also say that level term has the same payment 15 years in, as the same month I start paying. Nope. Not with the NY Life AARP policy. So, just for giggles, I ask her to run the numbers. Seriously. When you start to see the cost increases every 5 years, you should just think about saving that much in an account and you'll be better off. Needless to say, I was wholly unimpressed by the purported advocacy organization. Funny, I want to Zander Insurance and ran the numbers and if you look at the cost differences I think you'll say SHAME on AARP as well as NY Life. Don't take my word for it. Go run the online estimates yourself and then call AARP. You'll be FLOORED. And so far, of the discounts I've seen, USAA or one of the driver club discount regimes seems to serve just as well. Pity.
- May 26, 2012 at 1:13 PM
AARP's various insurance offerings are probably not the best. But I do enjoy reading the magazine and bulletins. I spend money on other publications which aren't that great, so AARP's are just fine for me and usually include some good information and tips.
Too, AARP membership is a whole lot cheaper than AAA's (obviously AARP does not include any auto-related services). Basically the same hotel and restaurant discounts as AAA for much less (membership).
I don't travel long distance by car anymore, mainly fly to my destinations. I do use car rentals on rare occasions, at my destinations. When I travel, I use my AARP membership to get the hotel (and other services) discounts. Works well for me.
(FYI I use my auto insurance for local roadside emergencies instead of AAA. I think AAA provides great auto-related service, just opted not to use it for now)
- May 26, 2012 at 3:37 PM
When I was in my 50's, I signed up for AARP. Seemed an OK thing to do at the time. After all, I was getting up there and felt I should help stand up for us getting-older-folks.
But then the head of AARP endorsed some brain-dead idea of George W. Bush that I said to myself: the hell with them. I dropped them like a hot potato.
Yes, they are an advocacy group, but a weird and awkward one at that.
- March 24, 2013 at 10:26 PM
I get all these entreaties to join AARP, but when I looked into it, the benefits are pretty slim. The Automobile Club has better discounts, and I can get a tow if I need it.
Then, as a previous commenter stated, there's AARP's heavy-duty contributions to the Democrats, and their unprincipled support of Obamacare.

If you republicans want to spend your money on some more wealthy helpers of the rich, I suggest to join te AMAC, the conservative alternative to the AARP.

I've never had a good opinion of AARP. Other than shilling for insurance, they lobby for causes that I usually don't support.
As for hotel discounts, I often tell the desk clerk that I'm a member, and they never check. Same for AAA.
- December 29, 2013 at 5:23 PM
AARP harassed me to join when I was in my fifties, and for that reason alone, I never succumbed to their pressure. Also, I didn't want to be called "senior." My colleague and I used to say that we would "summon them when ready" and that they needed to lay off.
They have backed off some, maybe a postage issue, but I still get mailings from them, but not at the rate that I did when I was in my fifties.
I will never join, because I don't like paying an annual fee for services that I'm not sure that I will use...not worth it to me.
I am interested in finding affordable term life insurance though.
- February 6, 2014 at 12:10 PM
My wife and I have been a member of AARP for 20 years. Up to three years ago I paid their three-year-rate and saved a few bucks. The last time I attempted to sign up they had increased the "dues" dramatically. I argued with them and got a reduction in the dues. As at age 71 I am still working part time I travel often, and find most hotels have "senior" rates $5 to $10 cheaper than AARP. AARP is solely a political organization, using profits from insurance sales to supports its agenda, which usually conflicts with mine--I will not rejoin.

Viciedo stuns Tribe with ninth-inning blast
CLEVELAND -- Anybody but Corey Kluber.

CLEVELAND -- Anybody but Corey Kluber.
That's what the White Sox had to be thinking in the ninth inning of Sunday's improbable, come-from-behind 4-3 victory over the Indians at Progressive Field.View Full Game Coverage
After all, Kluber was Cy Young-brilliant for eight innings, setting a career high with 13 K's and setting a franchise record with seven straight strikeouts from the second out in the third through the second out of the fifth. But when Kluber hit the 110-pitch mark on Alejandro De Aza's groundout to second baseman Jose Ramirez to end the eighth, the Cleveland starter gave way to closer John Axford.
And the White Sox probably breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Nothing against Axford, who entered the ninth with nine saves in 10 chances. Kluber was just that good.
Axford had trouble finding the strike zone, walking Gordon Beckham on four pitches, and issuing a free pass to Adam Dunn one out later. Dayan Viciedo then made him pay, launching a 2-2 laser on a 96-mph fastball on the outer half into the right-field stands for a three-run, game-winning homer.
Both of Axford's blown saves have come against the White Sox. Both have come via the long ball, with Alexei Ramirez connecting the first time on April 13 in another game that Kluber started.
"It wasn't looking good," said smiling White Sox manager Robin Ventura, who watched his team's four-game skid come to an end, as well as an eight-game losing streak at Progressive Field.
"Our guys did a good job taking pitches and making Axford come in there with strikes," said White Sox closer Matt Lindstrom, who picked up his fourth save with a scoreless ninth. "You get behind good Major League hitters, and they'll make you pay for it sooner or later."
Viciedo was actually a bit miffed before connecting on his fourth career go-ahead home run coming in the ninth inning or later. With the count at 2-1, he disagreed with a strike call from home-plate umpire Pat Hoberg. It didn't take Viciedo long to channel his frustration into something more important.
"I was just looking for a good pitch to hit, a good pitch to make contact with," said Viciedo, through interpreter and White Sox manager of cultural development Lino Diaz. "I think he made a mistake and I made him pay for it. I was glad I was able to do that. I knew as soon as I made the contact."
"Two walks, falling behind guys didn't work out in that sense," Axford said. "Two guys were on without even me really challenging them. It wasn't until the guy I challenged, who put the ball in play, that things didn't go well."
Jose Abreu gave the White Sox a 1-0 lead in the first inning by connecting on his Major League-best 12th homer. The White Sox had only singles from Leury Garcia and Viciedo over the next seven innings, with Kluber yielding three hits and two walks overall.
Following a De Aza sacrifice bunt in the third, Kluber set down Beckham, Abreu, Dunn, Viciedo, Ramirez and Jordan Danks swinging and got Tyler Flowers looking. Garcia ended the streak with a two-out walk, after taking a borderline 1-2 pitch from Kluber.
"Kluber threw a great game," Ventura said. "You are looking at some combination bad swings and swinging at stuff out of the zone. He was just cruising and we were pretty flat."
"We've just got to give merit. [Kluber] did a good job pitching," Viciedo said. "But I don't think we ever lost faith. I feel like we were in it the whole time."
Andre Rienzo danced in and out of trouble over 4 2/3 innings, but limited the Indians to three runs, despite allowing seven hits and four walks. Cleveland stranded two runners each in the second, third, fourth and fifth, with Zach Putnam bailing out Rienzo in the fifth by getting a Jose Ramirez ground ball with runners on first and second.
George Kottaras, who is with the Indians because starting catcher Yan Gomes is on paternity leave, went deep on a 3-2 pitch in the third to tie the game. Lonnie Chisenhall's bloop single to second scored Michael Brantley with a second run that inning, and Kottaras launched his second home run in as many innings by connecting on a 3-1 pitch in the fourth, becoming the first Indians player to homer in his first two at-bats with the team.
Sunday's top billing for Kluber and/or Kottaras was eventually swiped by Viciedo, with a strong assist from the White Sox bullpen. Putnam, Ronald Belisario, Daniel Webb and Lindstrom combined to allow just two hits over 4 1/3 innings, with 11 of the 13 outs coming via the ground ball.
This much-maligned relief crew has allowed two earned runs over its last 26 innings, covering eight games.
Their work on Sunday, combined with Viciedo's power, Axford's wildness and a never-say-die attitude, gave the White Sox a much-needed win going into four Crosstown Cup games this week with the Cubs. For at least one evening, the seven players on the disabled list can be pushed to the background.
"Badly need," Lindstrom said. "Badly."
"We feel bad for the guys who have been injured," Viciedo said. "That's a bad thing to go through. But the guys who have come in have stepped it up and done their job and that's a good thing. That's what team is all about."

Colorado Begins Offering Civil Unions
DENVER (AP) — Denver and Boulder both began issuing civil union licenses just as a new law authorizing them took effect in Colorado at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday.
The first gay couples granted civil unions in Denver said their vows before hundreds of people early Wednesday morning at a downtown municipal building.
The Denver Clerk and Recorder's Office said 130 couples checked in before Wednesday morning's 3 a.m. deadline. The office resumed issuing civil union licenses at 8 a.m.
In Boulder, 48 couples entered into civil unions overnight.
The Daily Camera reports that the first couple in line was Bonnie Lloyd and Pattea Carpenter. Their attorney says they were also the first lesbian couple in the United States to have both of their names placed on their child's birth certificate.

Bike Path Proposal Hot Potato At Site Of Proposed Agensys Development
Barbara Filet and Kent Strumpell, who have been passionate advocates for promoting Michigan as a bike route, and bridging the gap to reaching it from Stewart St. and communities further East in Santa Monica, wrote a primer document on this Agensys issue for the SM Spoke blog, and what they envision an eventual Michigan bike route to look like. I highly recommend checking out their document for more comprehensive details and maps concerning the issue. Also in their proposal is a short bike path on Caltrans property to connect where Michigan dead ends at the freeway to get to the 20th St. bridge. Plans to make 20th St. a bike route with sharrows, and new tree and sidewalk treatments are already under way as well.
There has been a lot of no, we can't and liability talk from Agensys lawyers on this issue, and the City has been divided on how important a bike route connection here is. My take on this is, the sliver of southern property edge Barbara has proposed for a bike path is easily doable. Since the buildings are being demolished and rebuilt anyways, there is a lot of flexibility and it is in accordance with the principles of LUCE. Liability is often the go to bull shit response to saying no to bikes, as if accommodating cars didn't also create liability. Pedestrians sometimes get hurt in parking lots, should we stop developing parking lots, or mandate drivers be air lifted to the sidewalk from their car so they can't get hurt?
This is City owned property that would be leased with a 50 year term. If we can't even get a developer to agree to a bike route on a property owned by the city, that sets the precedent that future developers can simply scoff at bike route proposals for any future developments. There is a fear if the city forces the issue, that Agensys may up and leave for elsewhere. No one wants that, nor do the cyclists, but really I think the city has the upper hand here.
This property will be sitting right at ground zero for expo-line train commuting from across the region in a few years time. Thus a deserible location for business growth for obvious reasons. Agensys is also a company already positioned in Santa Monica, and would not take relocating, and making life more difficult for employees who may be living where they are to be close to work, very lightly. The recent trends of skilled workers coming out of college and universities has been toward moving to urban communities where walking, cycling and transit are more prevalent. Sure as some nay sayer comments on the LAist post pointed out, there is cheaper real estate for Agensys elsewhere, and probably fewer development agreements for them to deal with. However it is the human capital that drives business, and hubs like major rail stations are going to become increasingly desirable as time goes on.
Councilmen McKeown has been vocally on the side of including a bike route through the property, as have the Parks and Recs commission, but not everyone on the city council is convinced. The SM Daily Press article on the topic mentions that councilmen Bloom pointed out Michigan isn't even a bike route yet. This is a rather dubious comment to me because, A, Michigan though not officially a bike route, is already used like one because it is a great street to ride due to wide width, low traffic volume, and shaded trees. It is also the best direct connection to the high school, where efforts are underway to improve bicycle ridership. And B, Michigan is prominently listed as a future bike route in the LUCE planning document.
This is a 50 year lease, and an easy way to dramatically improve connecting Michigan to Exposition and the Stewart St. bike route. Alternative routes around the cluster of properties all involve high traffic intersections and more left turns, which are prohibitive to less experienced or less confident cyclists. Does councilman Bloom envision that Michigan will not become a bike route in the next 50 years? That does not bode well for a commitment to a planning document numerous citizens spent countless meetings providing input to, crafting it's goals, principles and route plans, and finally passed by the council years over due.
The last point I'll make, having read about the development of bike route improvements in a number of different cities featured in the book Pedaling Revolution, is that Davis California, the first LAB Platinum Bicycle Friendly City, built a lot of it's bike route network through developer agreements. Because Davis made a commitment to requiring developers to accommodate bicyclists early on, as the city built out, it built out with bike paths. Those developer built bike paths, combined with on street facilities, and a city wide cross departmental commitment to supporting cycling, resulted in dramatically higher bicycle ridership and commuting than anywhere else in the country.
The cycling movement has been building momentum, and I saw hundreds of Santa Monica residents, young, old, men woman, boys, and girls, riding for the SMMOA Tour Da Arts. If development lawyers want a fight with cycling advocates, I say let's bring it on. The time for cyclists to shy away and scrounge for some space in the gutter and door zone is over, we need to pick fights, and demand a seat at the transportation table. We need safe routes to school for our kids, and this rather short and simple bike path proposal is a great way to start knocking down barriers that divide our community.
Some are calling this issue the first test of the recently passed LUCE document. Is Santa Monica committed to progressive planning principles supported by it's citizenry, or is Santa Monica committed to winning prestigious awards for it's planning, rather than it's actions?

Gary - Nice article on this - I plan to reference it.
Barbara and Kent have done a very large amount of research and leg work providing explanations of the utility of this bike path. We all need to help them make the case to the city officials involved.
Cyclists should be able get this path during the upcoming election season!

The lack of information and misinformation being reported about this is really dismaying.
I'm hopeful that the bike path will go ahead, but I fear that people will spin this as not being accomodating to a major employer and will be fearful of trying to make even a minimal request of the company in fear of losing the project.
- August 24, 2010 at 4:31 PM
You make excellent points on all fronts. I hope enough constituents and political will can be gathered to make the bike lane happen.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter called rookie left-hander T.J. McFarland into his office following Thursday night win over Cleveland and asked him what time he usually comes to the park.
"I said, 'Why don't you get here around 3:30 and be ready to pitch the first inning instead of the second, third, fourth, fifth, seventh inning," Showalter said. "He deserves an opportunity and he's pitches well. He's had four days off. We said all along, and we let New York know, it was going to be either him or [Kevin] Gausman depending on how we got through the games."
The Orioles' decision to give McFarland the start – it will be his first major league start after spending the entire season as a reliever – was a surprise. Most assumed Gausman would pitch if he wasn't used out of the bullpen.
"There's an opportunity there to present himself as somebody who should get more opportunities. Shame on us if we don't give him an opportunity like we've given a lot of people by necessity," Showalter said. "You look at how we got here, from Freddy [Garcia] to Jake [Arrieta] to some other things, it came down to him and Gaus."
McFarland's time in the Orioles rotation might correlate with left-hander Wei-Yin Chen's nearing activation from the disabled list. The Orioles might need McFarland for just one start if Chen is ready to be activated off the DL after just one rehab start. Chen starts tomorrow at Bowie and with Monday's off day, he could fill a rotation hole Thursday in Chicago.
"The way the logistics work, and the way we set it that way, for Chen to pitch tomorrow and then we'll hopefully we'll have an idea of where he is," Showalter said.
Whether this is a spot start or not, McFarland was eventually going to get a start. And in three outings on four days rest, he's pitched well, pitching to a 1.80 ERA. He is coming off his longest outing of the season, a 4 1/3-inning outing in long relief in Toronto on Sunday, so he can definitely give the Orioles some length.
Orioles bullpen coach Bill Castro will accompany Chen on his rehab start Saturday. Einar Diaz will serve as bullpen coach here.
Other items of note
-- Brian Roberts, who is batting leadoff and starting at second base tonight for Triple-A Norfolk, is slated to play nine innings today and then travel to Baltimore tomorrow. He is still scheduled to be activated for Sunday's game barring the team needing him Saturday.
-- Nolan Reimold "continues to move the arrow up" on his rehab assignment at Double-A Bowie, Showalter said. He still could potentially join the team for their road trip to Chicago and New York.
-- Wilson Betemit (Grade 2/3 right PCL tear) has resumed baseball activities. His rehab was slowed when he needed to develop more strength in his quad muscle and he had backed off slightly in recent days.
-- Steve Pearce (left wrist tendinitis) still hasn't resumed baseball activities after getting cortisone shots in his left wrist. Both wrists are still sore.
-- Orioles pitching prospect Eduardo Rodriguez, the organization's No. 5 prospect according to Baseball America, was promoted from high Class-A Frederick to Double-A Bowie. Rodriguez was 6-4 with a 2.85 ERA in 14 starts with the Keys. He also threw a scoreless inning in the Carolina-California League All-Star Game and was named to the MLB All-Star Futures Game earlier this week.

Williamstown Board Hears Emotional Pleas For Spruces
The Selectmen's meeting was crowded with residents questioning a plan to close the Spruces and building affordable housing elsewhere.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Selectmen on Monday night heard empassioned appeals by two residents of the Spruces Mobile Home Park who want the town to reconsider a plan that ultimately would lead to the park's closure.
Residents Linda Bell and Linda Chesbro spoke during the public comment period as the board discussed the town's application with park owner Morgan Management for Federal Emergency Management Hazard Mitigation Grant money.
"I've accomplished a lot for a single person, but this is the first home in my life I've ever been happy with, and the town of Williamstown wants to take it away from me," said Linda Bell, who appeared on the verge of tears as she pleaded her case to the Selectmen.
"This is a sin what's being done down there. ... Everyone in the Spruces takes good care of our homes. The majority of us want to stay."
Bell was among about a dozen residents who spoke during discussion of a plan that would see the town assume ownership of the land beneath homes like Bell's, place it in conservation and use federal money to develop affordable housing on town-owned land currently in conservation.
The goal, town officials say, is twofold: Remove the residents in 66 homes currently occupied at the privately owned park from harm's way and develop affordable housing on a parcel less prone to the kind of severe flooding that made 153 sites at the park uninhabitable after last year's Tropical Storm Irene.
Bell showed the Selectmen photographs of the inside of homes owned by herself and other Spruces residents, like Linda Chesbro, who also spoke at the meeting.
"You didn't even consider the residents," Chesbro said. "These are our homes. We own them. You just want to take it all away."
Chairman David Rempell thanked the Spruces residents and all town residents who attended the meeting to discuss the plan, first announced at the last fully-attended Selectmen's meeting on Nov. 13.
"It's no one's intent that it's 'we versus they,' " Rempell said. "We're dealing with complicated issues on many levels."
Town Manager Peter Fohlin, who announced the grant application on Nov. 13 — first to Spruces residents and later that evening to the town — emphasized that the town is still waiting to hear from FEMA. And he responded to criticism that has surfaced over the last month that the town pursued the grant without public discussion.
"It wasn't discussed sooner because we didn't think we'd get the grant," Fohlin said. "When ('super storm') Sandy hit, it was time to talk about ideas."
After the meeting, Selectman Thomas Sheldon clarified that the Selectmen had been informed about the grant application as long ago as last spring but shared Fohlin's concern that public discussion early in the process could do more harm than good.
Sheldon characterized the grant proposal as "a long shot" before the town this fall started to receive indications from FEMA that it might be approved.
Sheldon, who chaired the panel when the grant process began, said the board's initial discussions of a grant application grew out of executive session meetings to deal with Morgan Management's lawsuit against the town.
Discussion of "strategy with respect to ... litigation" is an allowable purpose of non-public executive sessions under the commonwealth's Open Meeting Law.
|Above, Spruces resident Linda Bell shows the board photos of the interiors of Spruces homes, including hers. Below, Longview Terrace resident Robert Scerbo addresses the board about the use of conserved land.
Both Rempell and Fohlin on Monday acknowledged the human impact of any plan that would include closing the Spruces, which Morgan Management is on record saying it cannot operate with fewer than 180 homes — nearly three times the number of habitable sites at the park after Irene.
"I can't help you with your feelings about your home," Fohlin said, addressing Bell. "Those are valid, and I understand them."
Town officials say that if FEMA awards the grant, it would be a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to receive funding based on the pre-Irene value of the Spruces ($6.4 million) instead of the post-Irene value ($1.2 million).
The closure of the Spruces is just one aspect of the plan that has drawn objections.
Several of the speakers who addressed the board on Monday focused on the plan to take 30 acres of land off Stratton Road, the so-called Lowry property, out of conservation and develop it for affordable housing.
"If it was worth being put in conservation then, why is it less worthy now?" asked Longview Terrace resident Robert Scerbo.
"It's a special and unique piece of property, as is Burbank," he added, referencing another town-owned parcel that has been considered for development for affordable housing.
A couple of residents once again asked why the town is pursuing development of the Lowry property when it has two town-owned plots that are not "green space:" the former Photech Mill site on Cole Avenue and the former town garage site on Water Street.
Affordable Housing Committee Chairwoman Catherine Yamamoto tried to dispel the notion that the town is not actively pursuing those sites.
"We're looking at a lot of sites because we need a lot of sites," said Yamamoto, whose panel is on record saying the former town garage site is its No. 1 target for developing as many as 30 units of affordable housing.
In other business on Monday, the Selectmen set a March 26 deadline for nomination papers for those seeking office during the May 14 town election. Those applications will be available starting Feb. 1. The election will be followed on May 21 by town meeting.
The Selectmen also held a hearing to consider an alcoholic beverage compliance check failure at the Williams Inn on Nov. 6. Manager Carl Faulkner appeared before the board to represent the inn.
"We're terribly embarassed that this happened, and it will never happen again," Faulkner said.
Selectwoman Jane Allen noted that the Inn had not failed a compliance check since the Selectmen started running them in 2006.
