Arbor Day celebrated Friday with planting
The Quononoquott Garden Club and the island's Tree Protection and Preservation Committee will join forces Friday, April 28, at 10 a.m. for a celebration of Arbor Day. The groups will plant a tree in the northeast corner of the town cemetery at the corners of Narragansett Avenue and North Main Road.
Everyone is invited to come to the ceremony to watch the tree planting and to learn more about the celebration of Arbor Day. Quaker meetings begin this weekend
The 240year -old Conanicut Friends Meetinghouse on Weeden Lane will re-open for worship on Sunday, April 30, at 10:30 a.m.
This simple building is the oldest house of worship on the island.
The Jamestown Historical Society maintains the building and its grounds with the support of a trust established for this purpose in 1997. The Conanicut Friends Meeting is an indulged meeting of the Providence Monthly Meeting and has been open for worship and services in the milder months since a group of Philadelphia Quakers revived the derelict building around 1910.
Quakers were leaders among the settlers of Jamestown, and the first meetinghouse in 1709 was built where the Old Burying Ground stands today, off Cedar Lane. A later meetinghouse was built at the Weeden Lane site only to be destroyed during the Revolutionary War. The current meetinghouse was built in 1787.
The small Conanicut Friends Meeting welcomes visitors to its Sunday worship through October, when the group moves to the warmth of the heated studio at the Norman Bird Sanctuary in Middletown.
NKHS parent group to meet on May 4
The North Kingstown High School Parent Teacher Student Organization will hold its next meeting on Thursday, May 4, at 7 p.m. in the school's Media Center.
The topics of discussion will be the Student Advisory Committee and the School Improvement Team. End of the Year Events as well as Mr. Foley's Principal's Report will also be presented.

Small towns, large cities, social service agencies and even the manufacturers of digital converters for television sets all expect to benefit from a piece of the $787 billion stimulus measure signed by President Barack Obama on Feb. 17. But amid all the mega-million-dollar transportation projects and infusions of federal cash for industries on the brink of insolvency, there are plenty of tax breaks and new funding for programs that directly aid poor people.
Some of the more dramatic elements of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, as the stimulus is formally known, include changes to the federal tax code that provide $288 billion worth of tax credits and deductions to aid the poorest Americans. For example, a single parent of two earning minimum wage will be eligible for up to a $1,750 child tax credit, nearly double the 2008 limit.
The law also expands the Earned Income Tax Credit for low-income families with three children or more and provides for about $116 billion in tax credits, $400 per worker in 2009 and 2010, in the form of reduced payroll deductions that will begin this summer. Even many of those who do not earn enough to pay federal income taxes will be eligible for a stimulus check under this provision. Also, families with incomes as low as $45,000 will be eligible to pay a lower, alternative minimum tax that was not previously available to them.
Some of the direct spending in the law includes a one-time payment of $250 to recipients of Social Security and Supplemental Security Income for the poor and to veterans who receive pensions and disability payments. The stimulus bill also extends unemployment benefits through the end of 2009 and raises the payments by $25 a week.
Lawmakers have also provided increased funding for basic necessities, including food and health care. Most four-person households that use food stamps will receive about $80 more per month starting in April under a program now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. The law also expands funding for the Women, Infants and Children nutrition program by $500 million and the Emergency Food Assistance Program by $150 million. Unemployed people who pay for their own health care insurance under the Cobra program will receive $24.7 billion to subsidize 65 percent of their premiums. Another $86.6 billion will go to states to help cover shortfalls in Medicaid coverage and $1 billion is designated for prevention and wellness programs.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops pushed hard for the child tax credits, the nutrition assistance programs, the support for Medicaid and the expansion of unemployment benefits. It also backed the provisions that will fund programs to prevent homelessness, to weatherize public housing and to stabilize neighborhoods by purchasing some foreclosed homes.
A provision that the U.S.C.C.B. worked successfully to keep out of the final bill would have required employers to use a much-criticized program to verify that all employees have legal permission to work in the United States.
Finally, the law also permits religious schools, colleges and universities to apply for funding to renovate institutions of higher education in order to make them more environmentally sustainable. Longstanding restrictions prohibit federal funds from being used for work on facilities used for sectarian instruction or religious worship, but other types of buildings at schools operated by religious organizations are eligible for funding.

I have started learning the names of the days of the week in Latin. I was wondering if anyone knows the abbreviations in Latin for these names. I know that "day" in Latin, die, can abbreviated "d.", but have been unable so far to find a list of abbreviations for the Latin day names.

East Tennessee county in the Great Smoky Mountains region. Established 1794. From 1784 to 1788, this land was claimed by the abortive, and short-lived State of Franklin. Existed, governing itself, from 1788 until it was formed as part of Jefferson County in 1791.
Sevier County is named after Revolutionary War General Gov. John Sevier (1745-1815).[3]
North Carolina first organized the land that would eventually become Sevier County as part of Washington District in 1776, then as part of Washington County in 1777, and then as part of Greene County in 1783.
In August 1784 delegates of three western North Carolina counties, Washington, Sullivan, and Greene (all now in Tennessee), declared their Independence from North Carolina because of perceived neglect, and misuse by North Carolina's legislature. By May 1785 they had petitioned to be admitted to the United States as the new State of Franklin. The Franklin statehood request was denied.[4] In March 1786 the Franklin legislature created several new counties including Sevier (all in present-day Tennessee).[5] By 1789 Franklin's hopes of statehood had faded.
However, in 1789 North Carolina ratified the Constitution, was admitted the union, and ceded her westermost counties to the United States. The United States used them to form the Southwest Territory. The new counties created by the Franklin government were not recognized by North Carolina, the Southwest Territory, or by Tennessee. When they were reconstituted, no mention was made of their Franklin predecessor county governments. The Southwest Territory reconstituted Sevier County in 1794 from part of Jefferson County.[6]
In 1796 the land of all these counties became part of the new State of Tennessee.

Sport Touring is given a new face.
Riding dynamics coupled with touring suitability - at the very highest level: that's the R 1200 RS. With its potent engine and stable suspension, the sports touring bike offers more than just a huge amount of riding pleasure. Thanks to its relaxed, sporty seating position and its perfect wind and weather protection, the bike offers an entirely new ride feel when travelling fast and riding along country roads in sporty style.
Performance meets design.
The modern concept of a dynamic blend of sports and touring motorcycle is demonstrated visually too, by means of half fairing featuring symmetrical headlamps derived from two generations of the RR. The elegantly shaped handlebar unit with attached forged aluminium section perfectly combines function and ergonomics.
The elegant and fast travel companion.
The new sports touring bike derives its supreme power from an output of 92 kW (125 bhp) delivered by an air/liquid-cooled 2-cylinder 4-stroke boxer engine with two overhead spur gear driven camshafts and a counterbalance shaft. In order to ensure stability on every country road, the highly active, electronically regulated suspension ASC (Automatic Stability Control) is featured as standard, rounded off with the modes "Rain" and "Road" - likewise standard - to provide an optimum riding experience.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stock prices are moving slightly higher in early trading on Wall Street after the government reported an encouraging drop in claims for unemployment benefits.
Minutes after the opening bell Thursday the Dow Jones industrial average was up 22 points at 14,981, a slight increase of 0.2 percent. The Dow dropped 217 points the day before.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index was up four points at 1,612, an increase of 0.2 percent. The Nasdaq composite rose 12 points to 3,414 points, or 0.4 percent.
The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits fell 11,000 last week to 346,000, a level consistent with steady job growth.
L Brands, which owns Victoria's Secret and Bath and Body Works, fell 2 percent after reporting sales growth in May that was below Wall Street's estimates.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Residents of Saudi Arabia, where booze and New Year's celebrations are banned, flooded into neighboring Bahrain in search of festivities to ring in 2013.
More than 80,000 cars crossed a causeway over the Gulf to Bahrain Monday night to celebrate New Year's Eve, the Saudi newspaper Al-Youm reported on Tuesday. Saudi Arabia adheres to a strict interpretation of Islam and bans alcohol as well as celebrations of Christmas and New Year's Eve. It also prohibits unrelated men and women from mingling.
Saudis and foreign residents of the oil-rich kingdom frequently take the half-hour drive across the causeway to Bahrain on weekends, filling bars, movie theaters and hotels in the capital Manama. Some conservative Bahraini lawmakers, however, want the government to ban alcohol and close nightclubs.
Al-Youm said a few hours before midnight, the line of cars waiting to cross King Fahd bridge stretched for a half-mile with traffic police, security and passport officers out in force to keep the revelers flowing.

"Guide to the World's Supernatural Places"
National Geographic, $26
Here's the perfect travel book as Halloween draws near. In this richly illustrated homage to all things spooky, author Sarah Bartlett has chosen more than 250 "spine-chilling" destinations around the world.
From Stonehenge to Sleepy Hollow, Bartlett has divided the destinations into six broad topics: haunted places, vampire haunts, witchcraft and the dark arts, sacred places, UFO hot spots, and myths and legends. Many of the entries are sites not well known to Western readers, as well as many quite famous sites and events, such as the 1692 Salem witch...

Quote of the Day.
The imagination is how things get done. You have to cultivate creativity.
Russell Simmons
The main economic event of the day will be the outcome of the U.S. Fed FOMC meeting with the focus mostly on the statement as most in the market expects a rollover of existing accommodative policies. The announcement will be released at 2:15 PM EST as there is no press conference by the Chairman this month. There is a growing view around the markets and by many economists that the Fed could begin to look for an exit point for its very accommodative monetary policy sooner than originally anticipated. That said as of the last meeting the Fed has clearly tied their easing policies to the unemployment rate suggesting that they would not change until the unemployment rate drops to below 6.5%. It is currently at 7.8% but the economy seems to be picking up its recovery pace a tad. Of interest Fed Chairman Bernanke does not expect the unemployment rate to drop below 6.5% until 2015.
I do not expect the Fed to signal any changes but they are likely to make a comment that the U.S. economic recovery is improving. Some in the market may interpret that as a sign that tightening could come earlier than expected. We will have to see how the market reacts this afternoon especially since the equity markets are trading near multi year highs and remain in an overbought mode and susceptible to a round of profit taking selling.
The Fed meeting is not the only economic data point to hit the airwaves today. In Europe EU economic confidence data has already been released and it came in better than the previous month as well as higher than the expectations. EU business, consumer & economic confidence and industrial sentiment all improved in January versus December's data points. Another sign that the sluggish EU economy may be in the early stages of forming a turning point. The euro is also trading above the 1.35 level or the highest level since the end of 2011 a sign that the debt crisis may finally be in the background in Europe.
In the U.S. the fourth quarter GDP will be released this morning with the expectation at 1% versus 3.1% for the third quarter. The fourth quarter growth pattern in the U.S. was impacted by the devastating Hurricane that hit a major portion of the east coast and may not be reflective of the true growth rate of the U.S. going forward. In addition the employment data cycle also begins today with the release of the ADP private sector report which is expected to show about 175,000 new private sector jobs were created in January.
Oil prices have been slowly continuing to evolve in the uptrend that has been in play since bottoming in the middle of December. The spot Nymex WTI contract has breached the upward trending channel resistance level and from a technical perspective now has a clear path to the next resistance level of around the $100/bbl area. The spot Brent contract has also cleared its last technical resistance area of $114/bbl setting the stage for a test of the next resistance level of around $118/bbl. There is some minor resistance around the $116/bbl level that could serve to slow the upward advance... assuming the upward advance continues.

A Texas teen managed to free himself after he was attacked by a shark in waist-deep water off Surfside Beach, southwest of Galveston.
Garrett Sebesta, 15, was flown by helicopter to a Houston hospital for surgery after he was pulled from the water Monday afternoon.
Garrett's mother said her son was wading off the beach when he felt something bite his leg. He reached into the water to pull the shark off, and was bitten on the left hand.
Garrett has severe nerve damage in his hand and a chunk of his calf missing, but is expected to recover.
"He's gonna be good," said Z.W. Monnat, a paramedic who was one of the first on the scene. "Strong kid."
"Kudos to the victim, 'cause he felt the shark bite, and then he literally tore the shark off him," Monnat said.
A witness said Garrett was awake and talking when he was loaded onto a stretcher and then onto the Life Flight helicopter. Paramedics said he was airlifted so as to give him the best chance of retaining full use of his injured hand.
It was not immediately clear what kind of shark attacked him.

Germany's D-Group published on March 27 "Dear Founder: do not look to the Valley, but to China!" The article stated that China has become the center of start-up companies, entrepreneurial accelerators and business incubators. About 7,500 business incubators in China have "produced" about 220,000 SMEs. Of the 232 large unicorn companies worldwide, 62 are from China, while Germany has only 4. The Chinese government increasingly values the image of an innovative country. Cities like Hangzhou have specific projects that fund start-up companies, providing entrepreneurs with venues, funding, and consulting services.

Each and every part of this solid-state, class A discrete condenser has been hand selected to insure nothing short of a stellar performance.
The Baby Bottle is ideal for recording vocals, percussion or any acoustic instrument, and includes its own custom shockmount and pop filter. The mic comes nestled inside a beautiful cherry-stained wood box. More...
Fast, maneuverable and beautifully engineered, the Dragonfly employs an innovative design that offers fine tuning and precise placement to please the most discerning recordist, combined with an ease of use that is without equal among contemporary microphones — and at a price that's considerably less than anything in its class.
Its sonic character gives flight to everything from vocals to percussion, electric guitar and bass, as well as more "difficult" sources such as saxophones and stringed instruments. More...
With its unique rotating capsule, the Mouse is one of the most versatile and snazzy-looking mics you'll ever lay eyes on.
The Mouse is a cardioid condenser which employs our hand-built single-membrane, large diaphragm hand-tuned capsule, specifically designed to capture the thundering lows of bass and baritone vocals and low-end instrument sources.
