Common themes among all 16 candidates vying for council are helping constituents have a better quality of life, economic development, education, keeping taxes at a minimum, public safety and ensuring that T.F. Green Airport lives up to its end of the bargain before extending the main runway.
Three council races are already decided as candidates in Wards 2, 3 and 9 have no opponents.
In Ward 2, Thomas Chadronet will succeed Bruce Place, who is currently City Council President and is not seeking re-election.
This is Chadronet's second bid for a council seat, as he ran for council in 1996 in a primary against John Lyons, who beat him by 110 votes. He also ran for state representative two years ago.
As for Ward 1, incumbent Steven Colantuono, a local attorney who has served on the council as a Republican just shy of four years, is facing Democrat Sharon Ahearn, a veteran of the U.S. Air Force. This is Ahearn's first bid for the seat.
Incumbent Ward 3 Councilwoman Camille Vella-Wilkinson, a Democrat, is running unopposed after beating Republican Paul Machado by a landslide in the September primary. She was first elected in 2010. In addition to her council responsibilities, she is a career consultant, and is a retired U.S. Navy Officer.
Ward 4 Councilman and Democratic candidate Joseph Solomon, a local accountant, attorney and businessman, is up against Republican Michael Penta, a self-employed contractor.
Solomon has served on the council from 2002 and was council president during a portion of that time. This marks Penta's first run.
Candidates in Ward 5 are Democrat Ed Ladouceur and Republican Danny Hall. Neither have held political office.
Ladouceur, owner and president of StormTite Home Improvement Co., has run for state representative in the past, while Hall, a correctional officer at the Rhode Island Department of Corrections, is attempting his second bid for the seat, as he ran last term. He lost to the current seat holder, John DelGiudice, who is not seeking a fifth term.
In Ward 6, Councilwoman and Democratic candidate Donna Travis, a senior data entry clerk at the Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal and a part-time employee at the Don Rodrigues Karate Academy, is looking to land her 10th term. She served from 1992 to 2000, and again from 2002 to the present.
Her opponent, Republican Catharine Leach, is an office manager for a Department of Homeland Security Contractor in Quonset. This is her first run for elective office.
Unlike the other races, there are three candidates in Ward 7. They are incumbent Councilman and Democratic candidate
Charles "C. J." Donovan, a senior house policy and oversight specialist for Coastal Resource Management Council, and independent candidates William Russo, a retired Warwick police officer, and former Ward 7 Councilman Al Gemma, who operates Gemma's Auto Body of Warwick. Russo and Gemma are both military veterans, with Russo serving in the U.S. Air Force and Gemma serving in the U.S. Army.
Donovan has been on the council since 2000. Russo, who has never held political office, is making a third attempt for the position.
Gemma held the Ward 7 seat from 1992 to 1998, and also served as a Rhode Island State Constitutional Convention Delegate for District 35 and Rhode Island State Representative for District 20 in the past.
After eight years on the council, Ward 8 Democratic Councilman Ray Gallucci is not seeking re-election, but his brother, Joseph E. Gallucci, a former Ward 8 councilman, is. Joseph, also a Democrat, recently retired as registrar for Warwick, and is vying for the seat in opposition to Republican Lyn Jennings, the owner of L Skincare & Nails.
Joseph, an Army National Guard veteran, served as Ward 8 councilman from 1977 to 1984, and again from 1990 to 1994, and was also council president from 1977 to 1984. Jennings has never held elective office before. This is her first try for the seat.
As is the case in Wards 2 and 3, Ward 9 Councilman Steven Merolla, a Democrat, is running unopposed. Merolla was elected in 1998. He is a law partner at Merolla & Accetturo.
Since Council President Bruce Place is not seeking re-election, the slot for council presidency is up for grabs. In a questionnaire, most candidates were mum about their thoughts as to who they feel would best be suited for the position.
Hall and Penta said they view Colantuono as an ideal choice, but Colantuono said he has "given very little thought" to the issue and awaits the outcome of the election.
Leach, Russo and Vella-Wilkinson all noted that they are not interested in being the next council president, with Vella-Wilkinson saying, "I enjoy debating issues and participating in the discussions too much to facilitate the meeting."
However, Donovan is considering running for council president if re-elected.
"I have the experience, temperament and ability to work with all council members," he said.
Stevie Coluntuano as council president......laughable.....he would have to have a direct line to Scottie so he could check with him before making a decision...where I come from they call that person a lapdog.

I've never met anyone who was satisfied with cable. I don't care if it's
Comcast, Time Warner, AT&T U-Verse or Verizon Fios. Everyone I've ever
talked to about pay TV subscriptions has the same list of complaints: It's
too expensive. There's more programming than anyone would ever want to
watch. Service is terrible. There's just not enough choice.
Lately, a growing number of TV owners and broadband consumers have been
cutting the proverbial cord altogether (though not as many as you might
think; more on that below) and doing without the big TV companies' raft of
channels in favor of online options.
For most of us, cutting the cable cord isn't easy. It's a decision fraught
with all sorts of peril. The technology behind streaming services is
relatively new and the business model seems to be in a constant state of
turmoil. What's available one day might be gone the next. As unpopular as
standard pay TV plans are, most people are understandably afraid to go
I'm here to tell you that you might find cutting the cable a lot easier than
you think. Last March, I cut the cord, and I haven't watched a minute of
live TV since. I don't miss it at all. Here's the story.
To cut or not to cut, that is the question?
I'd been muddling through with a very limited cable plan for the last four
years. Mostly because I've only really been interested in a half-dozen
non-network shows, none of which I though were worth a full-blown monthly
cable bill. When it came to favorite channels like Comedy Central or A&E, I
simply went without.
Instead, I had a plan called "digital classic" that got me a weird group of
channels, from ESPN2 to the Weather Channel, Nick Jr. (for the kids) and
several flavors of Encore movie channels.
Although there were some 100 channels in digital classic, they were all
largely worthless – barely worth the $15.99 a month we were paying for the
service. Although the bill was small, I still thought it was more than we
should be paying, and I tried to talk my wife into dumping cable altogether.
We've had Netflix forever and enjoyed the occasional streaming movie on the
laptop. Maybe we could get by with just Netflix.
Like most people, she was concerned about going without cable, but she
finally agreed.
For me, it wasn't that I had a problem with Comcast. I still get my
broadband service through Comcast, and have found them helpful and
supportive when I've needed to go to customer service. And I've had
virtually no interruption in service. My problem is that I don't see why I
need to pay so much for so many channels that I have no interest in
watching. If you're not into 20-year-old sitcom reruns and reality TV, more
than half of what's on cable is useless to you.
Why cut?
There are a lot of choices out there right now for cutting cable. Even so,
according to brand new data from the Leichtman Research Group, only 8
percent of broadband Internet subscribers don't get any TV service at all.
In fact, according to the study, 70 percent of broadband subscribers keep
multichannel cable packages.
Digging deeper shows that, of that 8 percent group, only 5 percent say they
don't get cable because they can watch what they want on Netflix and other
online services. Most of the cord cutters haven't done so because they
prefer online services.
Futhermore, 28 percent of cord cutters say they ditched cable because it
cost too much, and 44 percent either say they don't watch much TV or don't
need the service at all.
It turns out that most of the streaming video devices out there are actually
being used by people who want to get Netflix but are not ready to give up
But I was ready. I knew what was out there on the Web beyond Netflix. Hulu,
a "next day" TV streaming service that is actually owned by Comcast (NBC),
News Corp (Fox) and Disney (ABC) has a lot of top shows that are available
the day after they air. Hulu has "The Office," "Modern Family," "Parks and
Recreation," "Glee" and "House." And, more important to me, it has Comedy
Central's "Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report." Between Netflix streaming
and HuluPlus (the networks that own Hulu were fine letting Hulu stream to
PCs but didn't want it to hit TV sets through streaming devices without a
fee of some kind, so HuluPlus was born), each for approximately $8 a month,
I could get all the TV I want for $16 a month.
Soon, I'd be free of cable and getting more choice than I ever had for a
fraction of the cost. I just had to find the right device
What to buy?
Outside of the many DVD players and game consoles that will stream Netflix
and YouTube, there are three options that I found worth considering: Apple
TV, Boxee Box and Roku.
Apple TV was pretty interesting when it first came out a little more than a
year ago. A small sleek box at $99, it seemed like the perfect choice.
Unlike the original Apple TV, the new version is not a great big hard drive.
Instead, it is a streaming portal to your TV set. It handles Netflix
accounts, YouTube and Flickr and syncs seamlessly with iTunes movies and
For someone heavily invested in iTunes and willing to pay for shows a la
carte, this would be perfect. But aside from Netflix and YouTube and what
you had stored in iTunes, most movies and shows are only available for
purchase or rental. Renting TV shows at $.99 an episode didn't seem
economical to me, so I began to look seriously at the Roku Player and Boxee
The Boxee Box is a $199 player made by D-Link that runs Boxee, a desktop
application used to convert PCs into home theater servers. It's worth noting
that Boxee can also be installed on a PC box free of charge. At the time I
was shopping, Boxee still didn't have Netflix or Hulu, although that has
changed since.
The Boxee's price and its unstable relationship with some of the services –
Hulu has cut it off twice since 2009 – made it a tough call. The Boxee seems
like a great choice for streaming content you have, but I wanted a way to
get what I didn't have for as little cash as possible.
So, I ended up taking a look at the Roku. Starting at $59, the Roku is a lot
like the Apple TV in size and shape. It's a very small square-shaped box
with a tiny remote. While the Roku doesn't have the ability to stream videos
you own, it has a much greater channel selection with many opitions you
can't get from Apple TV, including HuluPlus, Amazon Streaming Video, Picasa
and music channels like Pandora, Mog and Rdio. Like all its competitors,
Roku also has plenty of news and sports options, too.
So I ordered a RokuHD online for $59 (there are two upgrades with better
video quality, the $79 XD and the $99XS). Two days later, it arrived on my
porch. It took about 10 minutes from the time I unboxed it to having it
connected to my wireless network. Moments later, my Netflix account was up
and running and I was adding channels via the "channel store."
For its price and ease of setup, the Roku would probably work for nearly
everybody. And Roku just released a new line of players last week with a few
new features, including a gaming controller, games (yet one more way to play
Angry Birds) and, on the $99 model, a USB port to play movies and music
through a USB drive, removing the best advantage Boxee Box had.
The only disadvantage to Roku is that it has not worked out an agreement
with Google to offer YouTube. The company shut down an "unofficial" YouTube
channel (though anyone who installed it can still use it) and though I've
read that Roku is working to get YouTube back, it has been unavailable to
new subscribers since late April.
Life without cable
From the moment I booted up the Roku and connected it to my network, I have
not watched a minute of live TV. Netflix has been great for what you'd
expect it to be great at – movies – but it also is perhaps the single
greatest repository of children's TV anywhere. Netflix has everything from
Disney movies to PBS shows. It also has fun collections of TV like no other
service. This month, it made available for streaming every episode of "Star
Trek" ever made, from the original series to the recent "Enterprise."
Hulu is great for comedy and a must for anyone who loves "The Colbert
Report" and the "Daily Show." The service also just added a library of
Miramax films, making it even more valuable. Just last night I saw that the
service had added the Allen Ginsberg documentary "Howl" starring James
Finally if Netflix and Hulu don't satisfy you, Roku also has access to
Amazon's streaming service, which is similar in many ways to iTunes' a la
cart show market. Amazon's service is growing quickly, including a Prime
subscription that not only gets you access to a library of TV shows and
movies for a monthly charge, but earns you free shipping on many of the
retailer's items.
The only caveat for would-be cord cutters is for die-hard local sports fans.
You can buy subscriptions to MLB, NBA, NHL and NFL channels, but local
programming deals keep local broadcasts blacked out. So if you want to watch
the Phillies or the Flyers, you're going to need to keep that expensive TV
package, though at least it's cheaper than going to a couple of games every
I've found there are so many more options with just the few services I've
mentioned that a cable subscription seems like lunacy to me now.
The great thing about streaming TV is that it provides the very thing that
consumers really want from TV: an a la cart choice in which they can choose
the sort of programming they want. And there's nothing better than having
the options of setting up your TV to have the channels you want and nothing
If you are interested in cutting the cord, you should probably research what
services are available on the streaming boxes out there and decide if those
services have what you're looking for. If there's a show or network you
can't live without, you shouldn't bother.
The important thing is that it can be done. You can live without an
expensive cable bill and still have a wide world of TV options.
Now excuse me while I begin watching the complete first season "My Name is

We're into the final three top user tips in our series, and today it's all about a topic we covered back in August last year: Excel Surveys! Available in both Office 365 Education, and the consumer SkyDrive service, Excel Surveys have a huge potential application in the classroom and are accessible via a browser on your PC, tablet device, or even your smartphone.
Surveys are very straightforward to create; especially in SkyDrive Pro:
Discovering & Sharing with Microsoft Tag
A great way to extend the reach of your survey, apart from the usual URL shortening services, is to use Microsoft Tag, a service to help you create Tag barcodes, QR codes, or even an NFC URL to add to an NFC tag.
One scenario in real life could be the inclusion of Tag barcodes on posters around a school, on the sports day programme, or in the school newsletter to get feedback and opinion from students, teachers and parents.
Why not check out our survey – you can scan it using your favourite scanning app for your device, or download the free mobile app!

The idea of rolling a virtual ball around the screen is not new. Nor is the idea of a physics-emulating puzzler. What I'm looking for, when I try a mobile app fitting that description, is execution and charm. Amazeballs provides.
It's not complicated. At least, not at first. Press button for rotation, roll ball around, collect stars. Fab. I can do this. Gold medal for me, yay! Only... OK, now I have to change my icon's colour as I roll around, to match the surface I'm on. Check! Blue, green, I can do this. Silver medal for me, yay! Wait, what's this you say about sudden death from red walls? OK, I get it now, that took a few false starts, but I finished. Wait. I didn't finish well enough to move on? OK, I'll do it again, now that I've got the hang of it. Bronze medal for me, yay! This isn't hard. Wait, what's this about slowing down time?
Amazeballs was more of a challenge than I had expected, and it took me by surprise. It takes a while to get the hang of exactly how much inertia you need to compensate for, and how quickly you need to rotate the screen. If you're me, it also takes you a while to lose the habit of unconsciously turning the whole phone, instead of just pressing the buttons.
I played the free edition; there is also a paid version (currently $1.08), which removes the advertising and adds more playable levels. Truth be told, I'm probably just as well off without more levels; some of what I've played is phone-crushingly hard and I can't afford to throw my Droid across the room. Still, those challenging levels create a definite sense of pride on the (sadly rare) occasions I manage to get a gold finish. If I accomplish nothing else today, I will have rolled a little cog around the screen fast enough to beat the clock. That isn't amazeballs... it's Amazeballs.

To accompany his voice. The autoharp or chromaharp is a folk instrument. It's very easy to play. Do a websearch to find out more about the instrument. I got mine at a fleamarket for ten dollars here in Korea. They turn up periodically at Dongaemun fleamarket. That's an astounding price. These instruments go for three hundred dollars new. So I hauled it to a music shop where it got a new set of strings installed for 25 dollars plus 25 dollars labour. I got an extra set of strings for 25 dollars, as well. So, all told, I'd like 85 dollars (read 85,000 won). So you'd be getting a complete set of 21 different extra strings because they do break occasionally if you get too hairy with it. I've always played the banjo and recently found one at Songtan for 160 bucks so I'll be getting back to the banjo. I'd like to concentrate on that instrument. And let the autoharp/chromaharp go. For someone who will play it (since I likely won't). It's a 21 chord model, by the way. Again, you can check them out by doing a websearch for more general autoharp info. Learn to play it. Take it to work and sing and strum for the kids. The only way they can get you to stop making your unholy racket is to fire you.

Elgin Events, Coupons, Reviews!
Subscribe to KidsScoop! The monthly family event and savings newsletter.
I was offered to visit the Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament at Buena Park and jumped at the chance. It is only located about 2 hours away so I thought it would be fun to grab some friends and take a road trip.
Get There On Time
We were early, but I would still recommend being there 1 hour and 15 minutes before your scheduled show. The seating is based on that, plus there is plenty to do inside for an hour once you get in.
Of course there is tons of swag you can buy. We went straight for the bar and filled up our cups! It actually was a pretty good deal. With the novelty glass and a full fill up with beer it was about $20.
They do some pre-show things like "knighting" people. I would of liked to see more than 2 people chosen, however it was still cool to watch.
Even got a picture with the King!
The Show and Food
First off let me say I would definitely go again, but there were a few things I didn't like. The seats we were in I couldn't hear what they were saying. Since you are in a big dome it kind of echoes and we were the directly across from what I assume would be the speakers.
You are assigned a color knight. We were pretty loud rooting for the Blue Knight. Unfortunately he was defeated in the final round!
It also had some slow spots, where the food was served. They had 15 minutes of birthday announcements which was kind of annoying. I'm sure the time could be filled with something better.
I wish I remember my servers name though, because he went out of his way to be AWESOME. We were checked on frequently and he even brought another drink when I ordered one wrong. There is also a bartender service that will come over for you.
With the show dinner is included! We definitely got full and had some leftovers to take with us. You can see our menu and what was given. Soup and Bread, Chicken, Potato, Corn, and a dessert. In the picture is the main course.
The Deal
I love the idea and the overall show/tournament/performance. I think it's awesome for a kids birthday and other special occasions. Of course the more people you take, it might be expensive.
Luckily we have a great deal that is available!
Adults $36.95 and children (12 and under) $29.95 with the Medieval Times coupon code MT3629 through 2/28/17.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - Former LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux is regarded as one of the biggest disappointments in school and perhaps Louisiana sports history.
He was the No. 1 recruit in the country during his senior year at East St John High School in 2004, yet was eventually thrown off the Tigers squad by head coach Les Miles.
Many LSU fans have harbored negative feelings against Perrilloux for years, as his dismissal was extremely damaging to the Tigers' program. The young talent became the epitome of "what could've been," as his transgressions cost him a shot at being a true LSU star and earning millions of dollars in the NFL.
In this candid one-on-one interview, the quarterback takes us down an emotional road, recapping the highs and unfortunate lows of his football career.
Now a member of the New Orleans VooDoo of the Arena Football League, Perrilloux pledges his demons are now behind him and that he truly is a changed man.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo.—Residents in Oak Creek have been told to boil town water for drinking and cooking, after a leaking valve left the town without water for about four hours Saturday night.
Water service has been restored, but crews are chlorinating the system. Oak Creek Fire Chief Chuck Wisecup told the Steamboat Pilot & Today he expected the boil alert to last until Tuesday morning.
Firefighters have distributed at least 160 cases of bottled water to residents.

Is this a common failure mode of the LM317? I tried the simple 1 resistor CC circuit and also got about 7 mA no matter what. To be fair, I'm pretty sure all three of these LM317's have been soldered in backwards before in other circuits... I'm not good when it comes to checking the orientation.
Hmm, they did work when I first tested them after noticing the problem. And I was pulling 500 mA from all of them. Now 2 of them give 6v when set to 5v and one gives 4.8v. I can only pull, guess how much, 7 mA now. Do they usually die this quick or did I get fakes? Who knows. I guess I'll include some in the next Digikey order.

Getting the Hive Ready for the Bees!
About this time last year, I ordered a copy of The Urban Homestead by Los Angeles residents Kelly Coyne and Erik Knutzen. I wanted to take part in growing or raising some of my own food, but chickens or even dwarf goats are too big to incorporate into our lives. Then I got to the section on beekeeping — this is something New Yorkers could do. You don't need much space and it helps out the planet. To get started, we took a class with the New York City Beekeeper Association in February where we learned about all aspects of beekeeping, and ordered our hive and bees…
The class was led by Andrew Cotes and his father Norm. Andrew, a fourth-generation beekeeper, manages the family business, Silvermine Apiary which produces honey sold at various NYC greenmarkets. Norm has been working with bee hives in Connecticut for many years (even working as Martha Stewart's beekeeper). The twelve-hour course went over all aspects of beekeeping. The photos are from our final class when we learned how to build our own hives. Then we were off to put into practice what we had learned!
The hive came in, what seemed like, hundreds of pieces. My friend and I assembled it using nails and wood glue. Then we put the wax foundation into each frame. (This gives the bees a head start on building their home.) Any part of the hive that would be exposed to the elements was primed and painted with two coats of white exterior paint. It was a long process. Luckily, this part only has to be done once. We hope our bees will live in their new home for many years. We pick up our bees on Sunday, so we'll let you know how they like their new home on a Brooklyn rooftop!
If you'd like to be involved in NYC beekeeping, there are two groups that you can join: The New York City Beekeeping Meetup Group and The New York City Beekeepers Association. Both groups offer hands-on activities so even if you don't have space for a hive, you can still work with one.
Currently beekeeping is illegal in New York City. Under Article 161 of New York City's Health Code, honeybees fall under the "wild animal" status along with hyenas, panthers, polar bears, apes… Unlike the other "wild animals" on the list, we're dependent on honeybees for pollination. Luckily, Brooklyn's councilman David Yassky recognizes the importance of the honeybee and supports legislation that will hopefully be passed to legalize beekeeping. To show your support of New York City bees (and their honey!), sign the Legalize Beekeeping in NYC Petition . Serious Eats produced a fantastic video on the importance of beekeeping. To read more about the effort to legalize bees, go to Just Food.

A team of 12 runners from Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth) representing different backgrounds and medical professions across the Hudson Valley will compete in the TCS New York City Marathon on November 5. Team members will raise money in support of the patients they care for at WMCHealth's 10 Hudson Valley hospitals. Here is a closer look at the runners who will "Go the Distance to Make a Difference."
Melissa Maura, PT, DPT, Monroe, N.Y. – Running for Westchester Medical Center, the flagship of WMCHealth
Melissa, a physical therapist in the trauma intensive care unit at Westchester Medical Center, became interested in a career as a physical therapist after recovering from a car accident when she was 21. "I had physical therapy for over a year in order to get myself back into running," she said. "The accident was the best thing to happen to me because it made me realize I wanted to be a physical therapist." After graduating from New York Medical College with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy, she joined Westchester Medical Center as a physical therapist in the TICU. "I am excited to go the distance for our patients just as they are pushing themselves in their own personal 'recovery marathon.'"
Jennifer Qualter, RN, Valley Cottage, N.Y. – Running for Westchester Medical Center, the flagship of WMCHealth
Jennifer, a registered nurse in the post anesthesia care unit at Westchester Medical Center, has been a runner on and off throughout her adulthood. "After I had my twins, I went to the Philadelphia Marathon to cheer on my husband," she said. "I planned to pace him the first few miles to get him started. I ended up running the whole half marathon without training. I have always wanted to do a full marathon myself." By running in the marathon, she looks forward to "showing people outside the Westchester area that we are the premier provider of medical care in New York's Hudson Valley region."
Laura Santiago, RN, Hopewell Junction, N.Y. – Running for MidHudson Regional Hospital, a member of WMCHealth
As a registered nurse in the emergency department of MidHudson Regional Hospital, Laura serves the hospital's most critically ill and injured patients, providing lifesaving care and support to the hospital's team of emergency physicians. Running in the TCS New York City Marathon is the realization of a dream for Laura, who began her running career in high school. She has challenged herself by running half-marathons, even completing three in the last year alone.
"The TCS New York City Marathon is an elite event, and accomplishing my goal on one of the biggest stages in my sport while raising money for MidHudson Regional Hospital is a dream come true," she said.

Two weeks ago President Obama delivered his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress. In his speech the President called for fiscal discipline and specifically addressed the need to reduce wasteful spending from the federal budget. However, earlier this week the President sent a $3.8 trillion budget proposal to Congress, which spends too much, taxes too much and borrows way too much.
The federal government has 44 separate job training and employment programs, spread across nine different agencies and departments, spending a combined $12 billion a year serving about 30 million Americans.
Similarly, the federal government has established a patchwork system of at least 22 separate programs focused on the important consumer health issue of food safety.
At least 17 stand-alone programs have been established over time to support the federal role in higher education.
The National D-Day Memorial has grown into a place of inestimable value for America and those here and abroad who want to honor Allied forces on D-Day, 6 June 1944. It is well-conceived, superbly designed, and enriched with inspired statuary and plaques. The memorial is a place to be revered. Few, if any, other memorials can compare to its quality. I feel honored and proud to be able to support the memorial and volunteer there as a tour guide. Other volunteers feel similarly, I am sure.
The Bedford Museum and Genealogical Library is pleased to provide the following in honor of Black History Month.
For the second week in a row, the weather became a main topic of discussion at Mr. Jefferson's Capitol. The arrival of a record-breaking snowstorm affecting about two-thirds of the state caused the General Assembly members to return home for the weekend a day early. The goal was to get legislators and staff member's home, and off the roads, safe and sound.
As this was written, the "tea party" activists were holding their first national convention in Nashville, Tennessee, featuring as their keynote speaker none other than the infamous Sarah Palin.
If you haven't followed the story of what's being called a new political movement in America, the tea party crowd popped up during President Obama's first year in office, taking their name, of course, after the original colonists who waged the Boston Tea Party protest against British rule.
Like just about everybody, Bedford County Public Schools is facing a tough budgeting year. The school system is facing a shortfall of between $5 and $8 million. It would obviously take a monster tax hike to plug this hole, so the school board is going to have to make substantial cuts.
Now, who can I anger with my suggestions?
This makes sense.
We're facing record deficits; we're in the middle of two wars; there's double-digit unemployment; and there's that whole health care debate. So now comes word the Obama administration and a long-standing Republican senator are considering several steps that would review the legality of the current college football Bowl Championship Series.
So that certainly seems like a logical place for the President and Congress to spend time trying to bring about change. Then again, maybe not.
Schools vs. The Lottery
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Lottery system supposed to help our schools?
I walk into convenience stores and a big banner is displayed on the wall, "Virginia Lottery contributed (X amount of dollars) to the school system!" But, then I read "Bedford County Schools expect to lose $5.3 million from budget." Something doesn't add up.
In this economy, every dollar counts — and so does a tax credit worth up to $5,657.
January 29 was designated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as Earned Income Tax Credit Awareness Day. More than 534,000 Virginia taxpayers took advantage of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and received more than $1 billion in refunds for the 2008 tax year.
Earlier this week President Obama delivered his first official State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress. The President articulated to the American people in very frank terms, what most Americans know all too well – economic uncertainty continues to plague our nation. In this tough economic climate, Americans are looking to the government for leadership.
It's hard to believe we are already in the third week of session, but time flies here in the Capital city. And, even though we're considering hundreds of bills and crafting a new two-year spending plan, the everyday concerns that come along with possibility of snowfall this weekend have taken over many discussions at Virginia's Capitol. This is due to the fact that the delegates, aides and staff come from all corners of our Commonwealth and most return to their families on the weekends. With the inclement weather forecast upon us for the weekend, th
If Republicans think they're about to inherit the national government on a silver platter because of one special Senate election, they'd better think again.
If Mitch McConnell, John Boehner and the other leaders of the Republican Party think they can kill health care reform - which a majority of Americans support - and win voter favor, they're making a tragic mistake.
It's always amazing how liberals seem to be living in some sort of fiscal never never land when it comes to taxes. Last week, Rick Howell gave us an example of this in "The Liberal Agenda" as he took Governor Bob McDonnell to task for not proposing new taxes to pay for transportation projects.
Barack Obama has been president for a year, now, and it's been an interesting year.
When he first took the oath of office, I was concerned that the "Democrats" would get a bright idea. Hey, we have a guy who is so popular, he could be elected to a third or fourth term, just like Franklin Roosevelt. Lets' get rid of that pesky ol' 22nd Amendment that limits presidents to a maximum of two terms.
In agreement
Thank you Brenda Babb for your letter concerning the bust of Joseph Stalin being brought to the D-Day Memorial.
I'm convinced that most of the people in Bedford are in agreement with you. To honor such a man along with those who served this country is unthinkable. By doing so you are bringing dishonor to all the names of our service men written there.
Think again before you act.
Ouida Witt
Last week, an unspeakable tragedy shook Central Virginia. Christopher Speight is accused of killing eight people near his home in Appomattox County, including three teenagers and his four-year-old nephew. The 24 hours surrounding these horrific events are frightening to say the least, but also a testament to the bravery and skillfulness of our Virginia police force.
Since the 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit on January 12th, the world has
tearfully witnessed the devastation unfold in Haiti, the poorest country
in the Western Hemisphere. The images of newly motherless children,
people trapped under fallen buildings, and deceased Haitians lying in
the streets have moved Americans into action. Across our nation we have
rallied to help the people of Haiti - gathering together supplies to
donate to relief efforts, hosting fundraisers to send money, and coming
As the second week of the legislative session began, our newly inaugurated Governor, Bob McDonnell, quickly got down to business. In an address to a joint session of the General Assembly on Martin Luther King Day, he laid out his priorities. As stated during his campaign, he made clear that job creation and economic growth would be the chief focus of his new administration for the year ahead.

While there are officially 16 indigenous groups in Oaxaca, every group actually has hundreds of subgroups, each distinguished by unique linguistic and social traditions. Oaxaca, like the nearby states of Guerrero and Chiapas, contains a startlingly diverse range of indigenous cultures with roots that reach back many centuries.

VANCOUVER — Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Buck Pierce thinks Chris Garrett will be running with a chip on his shoulder in Sunday's Grey Cup game.
He's probably right.
It would make all the sense in the world if the diminutive tailback — he's listed at five-foot-eight and 185 pounds but those stats might be a bit of a stretch — were to run like he felt he has something to prove when the underdog East Division champs take on the B.C. Lions at BC Place.
Garrett comes into this game as the CFL's offensive player of the week after carrying the ball 29 times for 190 yards and one touchdown in last Sunday's 19-3 East final win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
He's also a guy who the Bombers have cut and resigned. After playing five games during the 2010 season Garrett was cut after training camp this year and got to spend a big chunk of this CFL season hanging out at home in Utica, New York, waiting for someone, anyone to call with a job offer.
"I think maybe Chris has a bit of chip on his shoulder," Pierce said after Wednesday's practice at BC Place. "We released him . . . he's a guy we brought in and let go and then brought back.
"He plays with a passion right now that I think is great for our offence," continued Pierce, the often-injured QB who also knows a thing or two about patience and perseverance.
"The offensive line, they love him. He never gets tackled by the first guy. I think he has really improved from week to week but what I think is the most impressive about Chris is that we've asked him to do so much in a short period of time."
Garrett has been happy to fulfil all the Bomber asks. But talk to him for a few minutes and he doesn't sound one bit like a guy who'd be ticked off at anybody or be holding a grudge.
"I was very confident that the phone was going to ring," Garrett said Wednesday. "I just kept a positive attitude. I'm here now and it's a good feeling to be here.
"My mother, my father, my immediate family they always told me to keep my goals in mind and to keep working towards them. That's what I did. I just kept a positive attitude and I'm in a Grey Cup now."
Garrett, a graduate of Ohio University, said he was always confident that there was a team out there somewhere that would need his services.
"Whether it was NFL or CFL, I just planted that seed in my mind that I was going to end up somewhere," he said. "I just stayed focused and kept working towards my goal."
He was re-signed on Aug. 21 before taking over a month later as the go-to back when Fred Reid and Carl Volny were both injured.
In six games this season Garrett gathered 576 yards on 92 carries. His 6.3 yards per carry average was second best in the CFL among backs who'd carried at least 40 times.
For the Bombers that contribution was critical down the regular season stretch. And Sunday's heroics were well timed.
"It's been huge," Bombers offensive lineman Brandon LaBatte said of Garrett's 2011 contribution.
"Last week in the third week of November, in Winnipeg, we knew we were going to have to run the ball. In the fourth quarter when Hamilton had the wind it was imperative that we able to move the ball on the ground, keep the clock moving and limit the time that their offence had with the wind at their back."
Garrett's touchdown came on the last play of the game.
"Chris is a good back," LaBatte said. "He tempos himself well and once he sees daylight he's getting his shoulders turned. Rarely do you see the first guy bring him down. If it's an arm tackle or a guy coming from the side he's going to keep the wheels going and either run through it or at least fall forward for some yardage."

Feb. 27, 2010
FAIRFIELD, CT (February 27, 2010) - Junior attack Corey Zindel scored the game winner, for Marist, 2:09 into the overtime period to hand the Sacred Heart University men's lacrosse team an 11-10 defeat at Campus Field, Saturday evening. The Pioneers dropped to 1-2 on the season, while the Red Foxes earned a win in their first contest of the season.
The game went back and forth and featured seven instances with the score tied. Senior attack Ryan Sharkey led the Marist offense with four goals. Classmate Matt Teichmann added three goals, including a score to even the game at 10 with 2:27 remaining in the fourth quarter. Zindel proved to be the top playmaker for the Red Foxes, as he contributed four assists and two scores.
Trailing 8-7 with fewer than nine minutes to go in the fourth, SHU sophomore Matt Ferrino (Orchard Park, NY) scored his second goal of the game, this one on the man-up, to tie the game at eight. Marist regained the lead with Sharkey's fourth goal of the night, less than two minutes later. The Pioneers struck back with goals from senior Evan Morgan (Ashburn, VA) and junior Tim Russo (Lindenhurst, NY) to take the lead with 3:15 to play.
Senior attack Jon Flood (Hauppauge, NY) netted the first goal of the game for SHU, midway through the first quarter, on his way to recording a hat trick. Russo finished the game with one goal and a pair of assists.
Freshman goalie Brendan Price earned the win by stopping eight shots for the Red Foxes. In the cage for the Pioneers, senior Tom Trgo (N.Merrick, NY) saved 18 shots.
Marist outshot Sacred Heart 43-28, for the game. The Pioneers held the Red Foxes to one extra-man goal in five opportunities, while SHU converted on one of its two chances.
The Pioneers play the final game of a four game home stand next Saturday against Manhattan at 1:00 pm on Campus Field.

I posted this in components and wrenching, but got no comments, so I'll post it here.
When I first installed a Campy 11 drivetrain, I put a 10 speed rear derailleur on the bike, and hooked it up to the 11 speed shifters, without a chain, just to see if the pulleys lined up with the cogs after all 10 shifts. The upper pulley was positioned about half way between the 10th and 11th cogs after 10 shifts, so I then knew it had a different actuation ratio than the 11 speed RD.
To make the RD travel further, the length of the lever arm needs to be slightly shorter. I expected the required amount would be small, so I tried a little experiment. I got an M5 socket head cap screw and cut it to the same length as the Campy cable clamp bolt. I removed the stock aluminum clamp washer from the RD and replaced it with two thin stainless steel washers having an OD of 10mm. To reduce the lever arm length slightly, I ground away the threads in the area where the cable would rest, just down to about the root of the thread.
I installed the 10 speed RD on an 11 speed bike making sure that the cable rested against the reduced diameter of the clamp bolt. I first checked the travel without the chain. This time, the upper pulley was almost perfectly aligned with the largest cog, after all ten shifts. I then installed the chain and checked the shifting. On the workstand, it shifted very well. With a little cable tension adjustment, the shifts were quick going up or down the cassette. If you have a relatively new 10 speed RD and want to upgrade to an 11 speed drivetrain at a lower cost, its worth a try.
Here are a couple of pics. The RD is the only 10 speed model I've got left, a medium cage that came off my winter/trainer bike. If I was doing this on a more permanent basis, I'd modify the original cable clamp washer. It has one arm on it that prevents rotation and another that guides the cable. I would cut off the cable guide arm, since it affects the length of the lever arm.

On Annie Dillard, Marie Howe, and Finding the Poetry in Conversation
From the Rabbit's Gone Missing blog, a wandering reflection arriving at a "found poem." The muse? Our show with Marie Howe. Simply marvelous:
One night when I couldn't sleep, I decided to listen to the latest On Being podcast, which was a really arresting conversation between Krista Tippett and a poet I'd never heard of, Marie Howe. There were so many words, lines, thoughts that stood out to me as I listened, and I kept thinking, I should write these down. But then they were more than just thoughts; it all sounded like a poem to me.
When I was about 19 or so, I found a book of poems in the library by the amazing Annie Dillard, who'd written a book that had recently blown me away (Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, of course). Annie handled words like a cross between an athlete who performs stunning feats without a second thought [apparently] and an astronaut who sits on a thin ledge between life and death and fixes some billion dollar spaceship part with a jerryrigged toothbrush. (Okay, that sentence proves that I'm not Annie Dillard. w00t!)
My point simply being that Annie could've been putting out loads of volumes of profound, elegant poetry made of her own words if she wanted to, but instead, she put out this odd and brilliant book of "found" poems. Basically, she played around with scraps of words and phrases from the random sources she so delights in (e.g., an 1800s manual of boys' projects, a Russian hunting memoir, van Gogh's letters, the Apocrypha) and found the poetry in them. Anyway, I recalled the book and thought, Why not?
As Annie says in her Author's Note, "I did not write a word of it." In other words, Marie Howe said all of this. I might have contributed punctuation; I might not have.
The Poetry of Ordinary Time
an interview with Marie Howe (a found poem)
The parables and the stories—
all those great old stories—
so much mystery and complexity.
The story's all there, but we know
that the story, the real story
is inarticulate.
The spaces in between.
You can hold what can't be said.
The mystery of being alive;
a basket of words that feels inevitable.
A counter spell.
This is what we all need to walk around with.
Maybe the first poem
was a lullaby a woman sang to her child,
the incantatory everything is okay, everything is okay, everything is okay.
We prayed for rain, or we thanked the gods for the corn,
or we sang to the deer we were going to catch.
Its roots can never wholly be pulled out from
sacred ground.
Language is almost all we have left
of action in the modern world,
unless we're in Syria or we're in Iraq.
Action has become what we say.
In a big house different people experience different things.
Trauma shatters a unity. You are now in separate shards.
As much as you want to be all in the same room,
trying to speak to another,
shard to shard.
When I was a girl, I would have to go to the backyard and
pick up
every cigarette butt.
I would think of Saint Teresa.
Just do every act as a prayer.
Then my father would come out and say,
You've missed this one, this one, and this one.
Everything in the world is trying to tell us this now,
even as we're speeding up and speeding up,
and speeding up, and staring into our screens.
It hurts to be present.
Rinsing the glass
under the water.
Slow down enough to just
simply be there.
My daughter used to say to me,
Mom, slow down. If you slow down, you're going to get there faster.
Just watch. See that white car? Slow down.
Then we would get to the place and she'd say,
See, the white car is behind us.
When you're very sad,
the only thing to do is to go learn something.
Write 10 observations of the actual world.
Just tell me what you saw this morning
in two lines.
I saw a water glass on a brown tablecloth.
And the light came through it in three places.
No metaphor.
You have to actually endure the thing itself,
which hurts us for some reason.
It hurts us.
We want to say,
It was like this. It was like that.
We want to look away.
And then they say,
There's nothing important enough.
And then its whole thing
is that point.
No abstractions, no interpretations.
Then this amazing thing happens.
Clinkety, clank, clank, clank, onto the table pours all this stuff, and it thrilling.
The slice of apple, and then that gleam of the knife, and the sound of the trashcan closing, the maple tree, the blue jay.
it almost comes clanking into the room.
Last spring,
somebody was drawing on the sidewalk in blue chalk.
All it said was HAPPINESS,
with a big blue arrow, THIS WAY.
One day,
I was waiting for my daughter and her friends to
get off one bus to get on another.
was the big blue chalk HAPPINESS,
and a big circle drawn on the sidewalk said HERE.
And everybody who walked by stood in the circle. We did too.
It's the
This is the whole
Why would I compare that to anything
when it's
There's a silence
in the center of everything.
Maybe that's the thing
we are afraid of.
Silence is the heart.
It has everything in it:
our death;
our life—the universes beyond
this universe, the galaxies.
The cricket, the snow.
Such a relief;
you can rest in
The robots were going to take over
and the machines were going to take over.
Just last week it occurred to me: They have.
It's just different from what we expected.
You think evil is going to come into your houses
wearing big black boots.
It doesn't come like that.
It begins in the language.
What face do you look into more
than any other face in your life?
I gaze into that face.
I do what it tells me to do.
It's different from what we expected.
It's like sugar.
There's this new firmament,
and there's no one in charge.
I don't even know what I mean by soul.
I don't know anymore.
Real time is true;
redundancy that's happening now.
Remember those swaths of time between high holy seasons:
Ordinary time.
Nothing dramatic is happening;
this is where we're living.
Finally we're stopped long enough
to feel ourselves alive.
To move through the world transparently—
that would be a relief.
All I know is that
things have happened that I don't understand
that feel like the most important things
that have ever happened to me.
The unendurable happens.
People we love die;
we're going to die—
one day we are going to have to leave our children,
leave the plants, the sunlight,
the rain and all that.
It's unendurable.
Art knows that
we're both living and dying
at the same time.
It can hold it.
I thought, I can either let this crack my heart
open or closed.
I turned around and the
billion other people on this earth who've
lost a person they love—there they all were.
I turned around: I just joined you.
Welcome. There were millions of people;
I was glad to be with them.
We join each other;
We're not alone.
Holding human stories up:
it's so miraculous.
Everything is shared.

Sheet Metal And Air Conditioning Contractors Use Bogus Copyright Takedown To Block Publication Of Federally Mandated Standards
from the shameful dept
Of course, sooner or later, you knew someone was going to flip out, and apparently it's the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors of the world. Malamud's organization purchased the federally-mandated 1985 standard on air-duct leakage and posted it online as a part of this project. But the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association (SMACNA) claimed that the document violated its copyright and demanded it be taken offline, both by an initial DMCA notice (via Attributor) and then via threat of a lawsuit directly from a lawyer representing SMACNA. Malamud's Public.Resource.Org, with help from the EFF, have filed for declaratory judgment that posting such information does not infringe on SMACNA's copyright.
In the filing, the case is made that since these standards are incorporated into federal regulations, they have the force of law, and thus cannot and must not be held in secret.
Technical manuals like the 1985 manual at issue in this case, explicitly adopted by federal regulation, have the force of law and impose affirmative obligations on citizens. As much as landmark health care acts or Supreme Court civil rights decisions, these technical requirements—for building, electrical, plumbing, transportation—touch the lives of Americans every day. Business owners, workers, and consumers need to know these directives in order to operate their businesses lawfully, to avoid penalties, and to determine whether neighbors, contractors, or competitors are in compliance.The crux of the argument is that as the standard is incorporated into law, it is no longer infringing to make that work available, as one cannot comply with the law without having that information. No matter what happens in the end, this should make for an interesting case to follow.

Men's soccer team wins share of UAA title
First NCAA tournament game at 5 p.m. Saturday; tickets free for Brandeis students
Senior Sam Ocel scored in the 68th minute on an assist from classmate Lee Russo to lead the 17th-ranked Brandeis men's soccer team to a 1-0 University Athletic Association victory over rival New York University in the regular-season finale for both squads last Saturday.
With the win, the Judges finished the regular season with a 16-2-1 record, 4-2-1 in the UAA, and – for the first time ever – a share of the UAA title.
Next, coach Mike Coven's squad l returns to campus for the opening round of the 2012 NCAA Division III tournament. First- and second-round games will be played at Gordon Field.
Brandeis takes on Baruch College (11-5-3), champions of the City University of New York Athletic Conference, at 5 p.m. Saturday. A first-round match-up between Tufts University (9-3-4) and Vassar College (12-4-3) will follow at 7:30 p.m. Winners of these games will face off at 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 11.
Tickets for the matches are $6 for adults and $3 for students and seniors, and will be sold at the gate. Brandeis students will be admitted free on presentation of a university ID. Live statistics for the match will be available at http://livestats.prestosports.
The Judges ended the regular season in a remarkable four-way tie for the UAA crown with Washington University, Carnegie Mellon and Emory. With the victory over NYU at Gaelic Park in Riverdale, N.Y., coach Coven's squad finished with 13 points in the conference and moved into a tie with Carnegie Mellon. Brandeis's previous best finish in the UAA was second-place in 1990, 1997 and 2002.
In the final weekend of UAA action, Washington University took on the University of Chicago needing a win to move into sole possession of first place. The Bears and Maroons battled to a scoreless draw, putting Washington into a temporary three-way tie.
Later in the day, Emory faced sixth-ranked Carnegie Mellon University needing a win to move to the top of the standings; CMU needed only a tie to claim the league title outright. The Eagles' Sebastian Hardington scored his first goal of the season in the 72nd minute and Abe Hannigan made a match-preserving save in the 86th minute to create the historic four-way deadlock.
Carnegie Mellon earned the UAA's automatic bid for the NCAA Division III tournament by virtue of a 2-1 record against the other three teams in the tie. Brandeis was also 2-1 among the four squads, but CMU won their head-to-head match, 2-1, in Waltham on Oct. 28. Brandeis won an at-large berth to the tournament for the first time since 1985.
This marks the fourth time in school history Brandeis has won 16 games in a season (1981, 17-3-1; 1984, 19-5; 1985, 17-3), and just the third time it has happened in the regular season (1984, 1985). In two of those seasons, the Judges reached the Final Four, with the 1981 team finishing in third place and the 1984 squad finishing as national runners-up. The Judges' 1976 national championship team was 15-2.
Brandeis struggled to get on track in the first half, as NYU owned a 6-1 shooting advantage while the Judges were whistled for eight fouls to just one for the Violets. Senior Blake Minchoff made two saves for the Judges in the early going to keep the game scoreless, while NYU's Jonas Poster made his only save of the first half in the fourth minute on Brandeis's Foti Andreo.
Brandeis turned on the offensive pressure in the second half, taking eight of the first nine shots and finally breaking through. After a three-shot flurry in the 63rd minute produced two blocked shots and another that sailed wide right, the Judges earned a corner kick in the 67th minute. Russo put the corner into the mix, where it took one bounce onto the head of Ocel, who buried it for his 10th goal of the season. It was his UAA-leading seventh game-winner of the campaign, three of which came in conference play. Along with Russo, whose assist gives him 12 goals and seven assists on the season, Brandeis has two 10-goal scorers in a single season for the first time since 1994.
The Brandeis defense kept the Violets at bay from there, allowing just three shots the rest of the way. Minchoff made a save on Kyle Green in the 75th minute to finish off the shutout, his sixth of the season. The shot total finished at 12-12, with Minchoff and Poster each making three saves.

Stick It! Colorful Decal Headboards
Decal headboards are a quick and easy way to throw color on the walls. They're much faster than painting and because of their semi-permanent nature, they're also rental-friendly. The main photo above is the perfect example of the ability of these fun stick-ons to add both striking color and visual interest.
As I wrote in a recent post on black and gray decal headboards, these stick-ons are incredibly practical. They give a huge visual payoff without requiring any floor space or dusting, the way conventional headboards do.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman said today that he was unaware of the location or plans of former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.
The South China Morning Post reported that Snowden had left Hong Kong on a flight for Moscow and that his final destination may be Ecuador or Iceland.

Asked whether Snowden was en route to Moscow and whether he had ask for asylum, Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said he did not know. A Russian Foreign Ministry official declined immediate comment.
Peskov said earlier this month that Russia would consider granting Snowden asylum if he were to ask for it and pro-Kremlin lawmakers supported the idea, but there has been no indication the fugitive American has done so.
U.S. authorities have charged Snowden with theft of U.S. government property, unauthorized communication of national defense information and willful communication of classified communications intelligence to an unauthorized person, with the latter two charges falling under the U.S. Espionage Act.
The United States had asked Hong Kong, a special administrative region of China, to send him home.
