It feels like a bit of a contradiction, my life in music during Advent. Often before Thanksgiving, I have already played Sleigh Ride and other holiday favorites. My job as a freelance violinist means that Christmas festivities begin early. When I don my concert black and take my violin case in hand, I venture onto stages decked in trees and lights, cheer emanating tangibly from the audience. The holiday pops concerts are bright and shiny. But walk into our church, and you’ll see not green, red, and gold, but purple and simple greenery. The music isn’t yet the Christmas favorites like “O Come, All Ye Faithful.” We are quieting ourselves. Waiting. Waiting for something yet to come — for someone yet to come. Not just the babe in the manger, but the returning King of Glory. And we join with all of history in this waiting. The readings from the lectionary aren’t about a silent night and a swaddled babe; rather, they are by turns prophetic and apocalyptic.
At home, with my children, our little homeschool begins an ‘Advent Term,’ a journey through the Old Testament by which we wait with Abraham, and all the others, for the promised Messiah. We are striving to follow the wisdom of the Church and observe Advent, and this encompasses many aspects of our home life, including music.
For as long as I can restrain myself, we’ll listen to Advent music before we break out the Christmas favorites. “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” is a hymn that carries us through Advent, coming full circle in the final seven days leading up to Christmas as we read the O Antiphons. Fortunately, the liturgical police have never come knocking at my door, for as much as my heart longs to truly pause and observe Advent each year, things usually end up a bit of a mishmash. The traditions I grew up with are in some ways different from the ones I observe in church now, and no, I have never waited until Christmas Eve to get a Christmas tree or listen to Christmas favorites!
As Christmas draws close, we are equally likely to put on a vinyl record of Bing Crosby or Harry Simeone as we are to head to the music room for an impromptu carol sing with friends, the older girls sometimes joining in on their violins.
With a recording of the choir of King’s College playing in the background earlier this week, my five-year-old made her opinion loudly known: “Hey! There are too many boys and no girls and not enough organ in this piece!” There are frequent interruptions of this sort, reminders that sharing beautiful music with young children has glimpses of heaven but also moments decidedly less than sublime. The rhythms of the church year keep us grounded amidst the frequent chaos of real life at home with young children. Music that trains our hearts and minds on the season of Advent helps us find the quiet joy we long for.
In this age of Instagram, where it can appear that everyone else’s homes are beautifully decorated, everyone else’s children have matching holiday pajamas, and certainly no one else’s children are bickering ironically as “Joy to the World” plays in the background, it’s a gift to me to be reminded – by those same dear bickering children – that “purple is for preparation,” a song they learn in the Atrium and sing at home. Preparation. Even as I’m rehearsing for concerts, I’m also preparing my heart, and my home – and none of it has to be perfect right now to be very good and worthwhile.
Raising three (soon to be four) small girls, while both my husband and myself work as musicians, I would not describe most of our moments by saying that “All is calm, all is bright.” But I am thankful that through the Word, through music, and through the liturgy of the church, I have glimpses that all is somehow, in moments here and there… right. And Advent reminds us that all will someday be made right forever.

The Wall Street Journal
November 13, 2003, p. A18
Iran has just revealed that for more than a decade it has been running secret programs to produce plutonium and enriched uranium – the two materials that fuel atomic bombs.
After months of being squeezed by the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran finally coughed up this information. The agency, which is responsible for monitoring Iran’s nuclear activities, deserves much credit for extracting this confession. However, after doing so, it proffered a most unbelievable conclusion. It said that although Iran’s secret nuclear efforts violated Iran’s inspection agreement and were thus illegal, and although Iran had lied to the IAEA for 18 years to cover up what Iran was doing, and although making plutonium and enriched uranium were the most “sensitive aspects” of the nuclear process, Iran might still be innocent.
In the blunder of the century, the IAEA declared: “There is no evidence that the previously undeclared nuclear material activities… were related to a nuclear weapons programme.” In fact, there is no evidence that they are related to anything else. First, consider the plutonium, 13 pounds of which powered the Nagasaki bomb. There is absolutely no use for plutonium in Iran’s civilian nuclear program, which consists of a Russian-supplied reactor at Bushehr. The reactor will run on low-enriched uranium fuel supplied by Russia. Substituting plutonium for the uranium fuel would require Iran to break its fuel-supply contract with Moscow, to master the complex technology necessary to extract large quantities of plutonium from the Bushehr reactor’s spent fuel, to break its promise to send Bushehr’s spent fuel back to Russia, and to build an expensive plant to make the extracted plutonium into fresh reactor fuel. No one believes that Iran will ever do any of these things.
When somebody secretly and illegally produces a nuclear material that has no civilian use but is perfect for atomic bombs, that somebody is providing evidence of nuclear weapon activity.
Consider also enriched uranium, which fueled the Hiroshima bomb. Iran built two secret processes – centrifuges and lasers – to make this material. The only civilian use for enriched uranium in Iran is to fuel the Bushehr reactor. But, like plutonium fuel, using it would require Iran to break its fuel supply contract with Russia. Iran would also have to spend several times as much money to produce the fuel locally as the imported Russian fuel would cost, and might have to postpone for several years the reactor’s operation while the Iranian fuel was made. No one believes Iran will do that either.
And there’s the damning fact of how Iran did these things – illegally. Iran is obliged under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty to report all its work on nuclear material to the IAEA. As long as it does so this work is legal. IAEA inspectors are then supposed to track the material and report anything amiss. If, as Iran says, it intended to use its uranium and plutonium only for peaceful purposes, why break rules and go secret? The answer: the world would have known years ago that Iran was building the means to make the bomb, and might have tried to do something about it. But like Iraq, Iran joined the NPT as a means of masking its activities, and then cheated for as long as possible before getting caught. The advantage was to gain time.
Iran tried hard not to get caught. It told the IAEA that 1.9 kg of imported uranium gas had evaporated from leaking valves in the gas container. In fact, Iran used the gas to test centrifuges for making enriched uranium. Iran also told the IAEA that 6.9 kg of imported uranium oxide had been lost in “processing.” In fact, Iran put the uranium into a small reactor and irradiated it to produce plutonium. The reactor, by the way, was at a site the IAEA was inspecting – not too well. The reactor was supplied during the Shah’s reign by – who else? – the U.S.!
Iran’s cheating is a study in how far a country can get in making bomb material while pretending to comply with inspections. Iran seems to have set a record: it duped IAEA inspectors for 18 years. Now the mask is off. Any country that secretly builds factories that can make nuclear weapon material and lies about them has forfeited any claim that its program is for peaceful purposes, even if the amounts of plutonium and enriched uranium have been small. It has also forfeited any claim to confidence. If Iran has been lying for 18 years, how do we know it’s not lying now? Or that it won’t in the future?
These considerations should determine what happens next. The IAEA must not accept Iran’s confession, or its penitent’s pledge never to do bad again. That would be too easy. If a country can violate the NPT with impunity, the world’s only system for stopping the bomb is a sham. The whole purpose of IAEA inspections is to catch cheaters in order to punish them, not to catch them in order to let them go. Otherwise, who’d obey the law? Because Iran has been caught cheating, the IAEA should refer the matter to the U.N. Security Council. The Council should then order Iran to shut down and dismantle its illicitly used equipment for making plutonium and enriching uranium. This, in effect, is what the Council did to Iraq after Saddam Hussein was found to be cheating in the same way. If Iran refuses to comply, the Council should slap Iran with the same kind of comprehensive trade sanctions that were used against Iraq. This would cost Iran and its trading partners a lot of money in the short run, but in the long run it would be much cheaper than giving a green light to nuclear proliferation in the Middle East.

In the final season, Otis (Asa Butterfield) and Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) are faced with setting up a new sex clinic at Cavendish Sixth Form College. It will also follow Maeve’s (Emma Mackey) journey in the US, as she attends the prestigious Wallace University.
In a letter to fans released today (July 5), show creator Laurie Nunn explained the decision to bring the comedy drama to an end.
“We wanted to make a show that would answer some of the questions we all used to have about love, sex, friendship, and our bodies,” Nunn wrote. “Something that would have helped our inner teenagers feel a little less alone. It’s been overwhelming seeing how the show has connected with people around the world, and we hope it’s made some of you feel a little less alone too.
“Writing this feels bittersweet, as we’ve decided the fourth season will also be the final instalment of our show. This was not an easy decision to make, but as the themes and stories of the new season crystallised, it became clear that this was the right time to graduate.”
She added: “We are incredibly proud of Sex Education and feel indebted to our brilliant writers, cast and crew who put so much heart into making every episode. They have worked tirelessly to bring you this final season, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Goodbyes are the worst, but let’s celebrate all the good times we’ve had.”
Other cast members confirmed to return include Gillian Anderson, Aimee-Lou Wood, Connor Swindells, Kedar Williams-Stirling, Mimi Keene, George Robinson, Chinenye Ezeudu, Dua Saleh, Alistair Petrie, Samantha Spiro, Jim Howick and Daniel Ings.
The fourth season will also feature new additions Dan Levy, Thaddea Graham, Lisa McGrillis, Marie Reuther, Jodie Turner-Smith and Eshaan Akbar.
Earlier this year, four cast members – Patricia Allison (Ola), Tanya Reynolds (Lily), Simone Ashley (Olivia) and Rahkee Thakrar (Emily) – confirmed they wouldn’t be returning for the final season.
Sex Education season four is released September 21 on Netflix.

History of the Corridor
The Abolitionist Period
The world-renowned abolitionist Frederick Douglass, a native of Rochester, was a featured speaker at the 1843 Freedmen’s Convention in Buffalo’s Front Park. Thousands of African Americans from across the country attended to hear speeches and to mobilize the abolition movement. Known as the Conductor of the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman led fugitives from slavery to cross the Niagara River at Buffalo’s Broderick Street landing to get to the Canadian side where they could find freedom. The Harriet Tubman Home The Harriet Tubman Home is a landmark in Auburn, NY just a short drive from Buffalo. The Lower East Side, Old Ward #2, was home to one of the most influential and concentrated groups of 19th century African American activists, who were dedicated to assisting enslaved people to reach freedom in Canada, and who were leaders in organizing abolition activities.
The list of residents included:
Henry Moxley, who escaped from slavery in Virginia to settle in Buffalo. He was a principal organizer of the 1843 National Convention of Colored Men held in Buffalo.
Rev. George Weir, Sr., the first permanent pastor of the Vine Street African Methodist Episcopal Church.
James Whitfield, a poet who was active in national abolitionist activities and wrote the dedication hymns for the Vine Street Baptist Church and the Michigan Street (Macedonia) Church.
William Wells Brown, an abolitionist who was active in the Underground Railroad Movement.
The Great Migration: Field to Factory
In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, the neighborhoods around Michigan Street experienced an influx of African Americans, as well as immigrants from all over Europe. For many people this was the beginning of the American dream. The size of the city grew with industrialization, and the growth of the railroad brought employment opportunities for African American men. The railroads “Pullman Porters” were immortalized in the song “Shuffle Off to Buffalo.”
The Civil Rights Movement
Buffalonians were activists in the Civil Rights Movement, hosting the earliest meetings for The Niagara Movement, which was the precursor to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples (NAACP). Mrs. Mary Talbert was a key strategist in designing the NAACP along with Dr. W.E.B. Dubois. Mrs. Talbert was also a national officer in the movement of Negro Women's Clubs. The first African American architect in Buffalo, John Edmonston Brent, was employed by the City of Buffalo Parks Department where his work included designing the Entrance Court at the Buffalo Zoo on the corner of Amherst Street and Parkside Avenue. Mr. Brent was also the first president of the NAACP Buffalo Branch and he designed the Michigan Street YMCA, which became a center of culture and recreation for the African-American community.
Arts & Culture in Buffalo
The Colored Musicians Club was not only the union hall for colored musicians at a time when unions were segregated, but it featured great jazz jam sessions by greats such as Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie, Art Blakey, Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton, Billie Holiday, and Ella Fitzgerald.
The music continues to this day with Sunday night jam sessions, and the annual QUEEN CITY JAZZ FESTIVAL. Not only a jumping joint for jazz, but it also is an exciting hands on, multimedia learning opportunity where jazz comes alive at the Colored Musicians Club museum!

Juneteenth: A Celebration of Our Heritage
Juneteenth was the oldest known observance of the ending of slavery in the United States. According to historical records, the celebration began on June 19, 1865, the day Major General Gordon Granger of the Union Army rode into Galveston, Texas in final execution of the Emancipation Proclamation." In Texas, Granger's announcement was met with great celebration among the population of enslaved Africans. According to one account, "On the evening of June 19, 1865, thousands flooded the streets of Galveston, rejoicing in their newly announced freedom. The sweet smell of barbecue smoke filled the air. Dancing feet pounded the dirt roads and harmonic voices sung spirituals. This was the day, Juneteenth, that would forever commemorate African American freedom."
Juneteenth celebrations today commemorate that memorable day in 1865 Texas, and emphasize the achievement of African Americans. Marked by community celebrations, guest speakers, picnics and family gatherings, it is a time for reflection and rejoicing, for self-assessment and planning and future.

What if my older adopted child is having a hard time connecting with me?
My older adoptive child is having a hard time connecting with me? Any suggestions?
Share on Google+
It can be incredibly difficult to bond with an older adoptive child. They are coming with a whole life of experiences behind them. They are having to start over. Even when adoption is a great thing, it can be incredibly hard to adjust for both the child and the adoptive parents.
The first step is to recognize this. It would be more shocking if there wasn't at least some level of backlash and discomfort. It is perfectly normal and expected. There will certainly be an adjustment period. The child may even lash out and not know why.
Take the time to read up on
Reactive Attachment Disorder
. It is especially common in older adopted children. Much of the bonding issue may due to this and is not the child's nor your fault. It will take a learning curve and likely counseling.
After your child's adoption placement, make sure they have ample time to adjust before introducing them to many people. Take the first few weeks for family time. They need to get to know you and get used to their routine. Try to get into a routine as soon as possible so they know what to expect. Spend time getting to know them and letting them get to know you. It will be easy to create a welcoming environment, but it is important they know what stability will look like day to day.
Don't force it. Give them their space in your home to settle in. If you are able, let them make their room their safe space. Give them as much privacy as you can allow. Allowing them to have a space they can retreat to that is all their own will make all the difference.

CHARRO DAYS. Charro Days is an annual four-day pre-Lenten celebration held in Brownsville in cooperation with Matamoros, Tamaulipas. The fiesta was organized in 1937 by the Brownsville Chamber of Commerce to recognize Mexican culture and was named Charro Days in honor of the charros, "dashing Mexican gentlemen cowboys." To encourage the wearing of regional costumes of Mexico, a booklet of patterns for Charro Days was issued in 1949. It features drawings of women's and men's traditional apparel from Michoacán, Oaxaca, Yucatán, and Chiapas, as well as other regions of the country. The china poblana dress and the charro suit are among the most popular costumes worn during Charro Days. The festival begins with the traditional Mexican grito (celebratory cry) at the Gateway International Bridge and with an exchange of words and gifts by the mayors of both cities. Since the earliest Charro Days fiesta, the celebrations have included parades complete with floats, as well as street dances, a rodeo, mariachi and marimba concerts, and ballet folklorico performances by school students. The festival has become very popular, and a Charro Days Fiesta organization has been established to oversee the extensive program, which includes several days of events.

FRONT ROYAL, Virginia --The National Zoo welcomed two litters of cheetah cubs at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Virginia.
On March 23rd, five of the cheetahs were born. Five days later, on March 28th, seven more cubs were born.
Unfortunately, two of the cubs in the second litter did not survive. They were smaller than their littermates and less active. The zoo says this is common among large litters. The average size of a cheetah litter is three.
The two mothers, Miti and Happy, both bred in December and were matched with male partners who fir their temperament. They were also matched with the male cats to ensure genetic diversity.
The cubs were the second generation born as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Cheetah Species Survival Plan. Since breeding started in 2010, 46 cubs have been born.
The staff is monitoring both cheetah families via closed-circuit television in the nest boxes.

David Cameron Urges Politicians To Refrain From Raping Children For The Time Being
IN private correspondence to all sitting politicians which was subsequently leaked to the press, British prime minister David Cameron has urged all MPs to refrain from raping children for the time being.
His request comes in the aftermath of fresh allegations made about deceased former prime minister Edward Heath, and months after the exposing of a paedophile ring which operated near Parliament buildings in Dolphin House throughout the 70s and 80s.
“Christ, whatever you do, just refrain from raping children. And, if you are a rapist, whatever you do, don’t fucking tell me, I won’t be dragged down with you,” a portion of Cameron’s letter read to MPs.
“Could you for the time being find another way to let off steam, like, say cocaine and prostitutes? Just until all this business dies down”.
Police in the UK have yet to confirm if they will ever get around to investigating paedophile politicians who are still alive, while the tabloid media suggested Edward Heath’s silence over the claims against him speak volumes.
Meanwhile, closer to home many members of the Irish public have been tutting disparagingly in the direction of Britain, simply unable to fathom how several institutions could sit back and fail to report savage crimes committed against innocent children.

Good question, notspears. Tesla Motors is not still seeing profits. In fact, July of 2009 was the first and only month in which they saw a profit. With the Roadster ending production in about a year, and the S model not coming out until 2012, it is likely that they won’t see profits for some time.
Hope this helps!

Background: Adult brain tumor (BT) patients and longer-term survivors are susceptible to experiencing emotional problems, including anxiety and/or depression disorders, which may further compromise their quality-of-life (QOL) and general well-being. The objective of this paper is to review psychological approaches for managing anxiety and depressive symptoms in adult BT patients. A review of psychological interventions comprising mixed samples of oncology patients, and which included BT patients is also evaluated. The review concludes with an overview of a recently developed transdiagnostic psychotherapy program, which was specifically designed to treat anxiety and/or depressive symptoms in adult BT patients. Methods: Electronic databases (PsycINFO, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane) were searched to identify published studies investigating psychological interventions for managing anxiety and depressive symptoms in adult BT patients. Only four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified. Results: Only one of the RCTs tested a psychosocial intervention, which was specifically developed for primary BT patients, and which was found to improve QOL including existential well-being as well as reducing depressive symptoms. A second study tested a combined cognitive rehabilitation and problem-solving intervention, although was not found to significantly improve mood or QOL. The remaining two studies tested multidisciplinary psychosocial interventions in heterogeneous samples of cancer patients (included BT patients) with advanced stage disease. Maintenance of QOL was found in both studies, although no secondary gains were found for improvements in mood. Conclusion: There is a notable paucity of psychological interventions for adult BT patients across the illness trajectory. Further research is required to strengthen the evidence base for psychological interventions in managing anxiety and depressive symptoms, and enhancing the QOL of distressed adults diagnosed with a BT.

WILKES-BARRE —The Wilkes-Barre YMCA, in partnership with the city of Wilkes-Barre, the Wilkes-Barre City Health Department and the Commission on Economic Opportunity, will offer its free Food-n-Fun @ the Park Program for the third year so fewer kids and teens go hungry this summer.
More than 64 percent of children in the Wilkes-Barre area receive free or reduced-cost meals during the school year. And when school ends for the summer, so do free meals, leaving many kids at risk of hunger and malnutrition.
The Food-n-Fun @ the Park program offers participating kids and teenagers, from kindergarten to 12th grade, a free lunch and snacks, weekly guest programs and supervised fun play each day. By combining food and fun, kids and teenagers will stay nourished and active while easing the strain on family food budgets.
The program will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday from today to Aug. 16 in four city parks and the Wilkes-Barre YMCA.There will be no program on July 4.
“They are staying active and meeting new people,” Carol Hussa of the Wilkes-Barre YMCA said.
This year’s program is part of a national partnership between YMCA of the USA and the Walmart Foundation. Last summer, the program served 846 kids and more than 8,500 meals, and the YMCA expects the same turnout this year.
Each snack and lunch complies with the federal Summer Food Service Program nutrition guidelines and the YMCA’s National Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Standards for Early Childhood and After-school programs. The SFSP is a federal program that was established to ensure low-income children get nutritious meals when school is not in session.
“CEO has a lot of experience providing lunches that are healthy and yummy for the kids,” Hussa said.
Lunches, programs and activities will be offered at the following parks and the Wilkes-Barre YMCA:
• Coal Street Park: Coal and North Sherman streets.
• Iron Triangle Playground: Corner of Hickory and Metcalf streets.
• Madison/Flood Park: Corner of East Maple and North Washington sreets.
• Parsons Playground: 1100 block of Scott Street, behind Turkey Hill.
• Wilkes-Barre YMCA: 40 W. Northampton St.. Note: Space is limited to 50 children.
Other locations will offer only snacks or lunch:
• Osterhout Plains Branch — Tuesday and Thursday, snack at 2 p.m.
• Osterhout North Branch — Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, lunch at 11 a.m.
• Osterhout South Branch — Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, snack at 3 p.m.
•Mineral Springs Village — Monday-Friday, lunch at 12:30 p.m.
• Boulevard Town Homes — Monday-Friday, lunch at noon.
• Kistler Pool — Monday-Friday, lunch at noon.
• Albright UM Church — Monday-Friday, lunch at 11:30 a.m.

Over the past three years I have been to Antarctica two times. One time as a photography tourist, on board the smallest vessel operating in Antarctica, and one time as an expedition guide and photographer, on board the biggest vessel operating in Antarctica. Before embarking to Antarctica, I have visited both south Argentina and Chile.
Southern Argentina and Chile are a birders paradise. You’ll find species like the Magellanic Woodpecker, Patagonian Sierra-finch, Upland Geese, Long-tailed Meadowlark and many more. They are found throughout the different landscape surrounding the Andes mountain range, from old forests, across open plains and into the mountains themselves.
To get to Antarctica you either sail from Punta Arenas in Chile, or Ushuaia in Argentina. When the ship set sail you sail through South American fjords towards the Drakes passage. Before crossing the Drakes, if the weather allows for it, you try to land on Cape Horn, South America’s most southerly point. Here lies a Chilean Navy station, and a Chilean family lives here for a full year until the next family release them.
Crossing the Drakes can be a rough experience, and the sailing typically takes 1,5-2,5 days depending on the size of the ship. The weather conditions holds typically strong winds and high waves. Luckily for me there have been good weather on both my visits to Antarctica. After the Drakes you first reach the South Shetland Islands and locations like Deception Island, Half Moon Island and Livingston. If you sail even further south you will pass the Antarctic Circle and enter the true Antarctica. Above or below the Antarctic Circle you go here for two reasons: landscapes with ice, and penguins!
There are four species of penguins in Antarctica: the Gentoo, Adélie, Chinstrap, and Emperor penguins. On these trips you typically don’t see the emperors. But the ones you see are cute but peculiar creatures. You should always keep a good distance from the penguins (minimum 5 metres), but they are curious and might eventually walk up to your side and stay there for a while. There are some major traits for the penguins: Gentoo penguins has a red beak, Adélie penguins has a white ring around their eyes, and the Chinstrap penguins well they have a black line on their chins.
It is fun to observe the behaviour of the different Antarctic species, and you will see a lot of different behaviour. The penguins will fight for nest spots and they steal pebbles from each other’s nests. The most fascinating behaviour I saw, and captured a picture of, was the so-called food chase. When the penguin chicks have grown large enough the parents make the chicks run after them for as long as possible before giving food to the chicks. This is done to make sure the chicks become fit enough before they need to enter the oceans after the nesting season has ended.
Penguin activity invites scavengers like the Antarctic Skua and the Giant Petrel. They will feed on dead penguins, penguin eggs, and penguin chicks. When the penguins go into the water they have to be on the lookout for Leopard seals and Orcas. During the Antarctic summer different species of whales come down to the Antarctic waters to feed. We saw a lot of Humpback whales, feeding, playing, and jumping out of the water.
When sailing from one location to another you get to see majestic icebergs, and if you go out of bed early or go to sleep late you can get colourful sunrises and sunsets too. If the winds are strong enough there will be albatrosses flying around the ship.
On my latest trip to Antarctica we visited the Falkland Islands on our way back to Chile. The Falkland Islands are home to several species of penguins but also albatrosses. We had a great landing at New Island and visited the Black-browed Albatross colony as well as a Southern Rockhopper penguin colony.
The trips are typically 2-2,5 weeks long and it is not nearly enough to capture everything you see. I think I will have to go back again

Brockton Traffic Commission to hold special meeting on school zone flashing lights
The city’s traffic commission will meet in a special session this evening to discuss lengthening the time that flashing yellow school-zone lights are turned on across the city.
The Brockton School Committee’s safety panel requested the commission look into the matter last month after Scotty Pariseau, 12, a West Middle School student, was hit by a car while crossing the street in front of the Hancock Elementary School, on heavily traveled Pearl Street, while the school zone lights were off.
The commission will look at whether to lengthen the time the lights flash from 20 minutes before and after student arrival and dismissal time to set times of 7-9:30 a.m. and 2-3:30 p.m.
School committee members hope the change will improve safety for middle school children in particular, the majority of whom live within two miles of school and are not offered busing.
Traffic Commissioner Leon McCabe originally thought the issue would have to wait until the commission’s next regular meeting on Dec. 9. McCabe said he needed time to find out how much latitude the state gives municipalities in setting up the rules of their school zones.
The meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. at the police station, 7 Commercial St. The commission will hear testimony from the public and have the option to render a final decision then or refer the proposal to a committee.
Erik Potter may be reached at email@example.com.

City Tear It Down
posted by September 23 at 9:40 AMon
Congress for New Urbanism has a list up for of ten urban freeways that should be torn down and replaced with “boulevards and other cost-saving urban alternatives.” Topping the list? Seattle’s own Alaska Way Viaduct.
Built in 1953, as State Route 99, the Alaskan Way Viaduct is a north-south route alongside Seattle’s Elliot Bay and carries approximately 105,000 vehicles per day. Proposals released by the Washington State Department of Transportation for an expanded elevated highway or a tunnel during the downtown segment—each with price tags of $4 billion or more—met with fierce opposition. On a March 13, 2007, Seattleites voted both of these options down in a local referendum—welcoming in a surface and transit option.
This progress stems in large part from the leadership of the City Council and the People’s Waterfront Coalition, led by Cary Moon, who envisioned an open waterfront that would begin to restore the shoreline and support a vibrant urban place. Opening up 335 acres of public land on Seattle”s waterfront could give way to new parks, beaches, and development—and save the city years of construction delays and billions of dollars. “If you try to build your way out of congestion,” said Moon, “you’ll ruin your city or go broke trying.”
Says The Bellows…
The additional automobile connectivity gained by extending a freeway into a dense urban area is small, and absolutely not worth the lost land value. Neither is it a reasonable use of urban land to hold freeway miles designed to carry through traffic. If other institutions want to pay a central city to bury a freeway so that through traffic can have an uninterrupted straight-line journey, then fine, but central cities shouldn’t volunteer to undermine the value of their greatest asset—dense, gridded neighborhoods near job and residential centers.

Travel By Motorcycle From Saigon To Nha Trang By The Coastal Road
There is an unique journey from Saigon to Nha Trang, going through many beautiful places and especially more than 90% will go entirely by roads along the coast. The outstanding advantage of traveling by this route is that you will visit most of the most famous places of the coastal area from Saigon to Nha Trang...
Travel By Motorcyle From Saigon To Nha Trang By The Coastal Road
However, this route is about 100 km longer than Highway 1. So, you need to decide carefully, if you have a lot of time, you should choose this route to go from Saigon - Nha Trang, and if you have less time, take Highway 1.
Route Saigon - Nha Trang by motorbike: Saigon - La Gi - Phan Thiet - Phan Rang - Cam Ranh - Nha Trang.
Saigon - La Gi
Starting from Saigon, find your way to Cat Lai ferry. After crossing the ferry and go straight to DT 769 to the intersection with Ly Thai To, then turn to this road and continue to run until you meet the intersection with DT 769 then turn right to this road.
Keep going straight until you come to DT 769 junction with Ton Duc Thang street, turn left. Going straight to the end of the road, you will take Highway 51 and turn right. Take Highway 51 until you meet the intersection with My Xuan - Toc Tien Street, turn left, ask people to turn off to Phu My - Toc Tien.
Go straight on this road, when passing the section of Chau Pha lake for more than 1 km, you will meet an intersection, turn left to the road No. 1 and run to the roundabout, hug the circle to Binh Ba - Da Bac street.
Run to the end of the road, you will meet a six-way intersection, continue straight to Xuan Son - Da Bac street. When you come to a fork of the ship, just go straight on the road on the right to reach Suoi Rao - Phuoc Tan.
Continue by road, do not turn anywhere, you will go to Highway 55 and so follow this Highway 55, you will reach La Gi town.
La Gi - Phan Thiet - Phan Rang
After visiting and spending a night in La Gi town, you continue the journey from here to the famous Ke Ke Ga just 40 minutes from La Gi center by motorbike. Come here, remember to stop and take a boat to visit Ke Ga lighthouse.
Then continue on DT 719 road to reach Phan Thiet. Follow the sea lanes in Phan Thiet to Hong Hill, you can stop for sightseeing, or should continue to White Sand Dunes in Bau Trang.
After visiting, go to Bau Trang - Hoa Phu road, this is a famous road of local people, recently completed in 2015, a very beautiful road running along the sea.
When you're done, continue on the DT 719 to the 7-color stone beach, but you shouldn't visit this beach because it's incredibly ugly and has a lot of rubbish, unlike the shimmering pictures on the Internet.
Turn to Vo Thi Sau and ask for directions to Highway 1. After that, you continue to NH 1 junction with Ninh Thuan coastal road, then turn right. This sea route is also very beautiful and you can also stop at Mui Dinh to visit the quite famous lighthouse here.
Phan Rang - Cam Ranh
From the center of Phan Rang, ask for directions to Truong Chinh street and go straight to Ninh Chu Bridge. If you come here early in the morning or in the afternoon, you will admire the beauty at the seaport from Dam Nai to the East Sea.
Go all the way to the junction and turn right to stay on TL 702. Keep going straight, this road will reach Hang Rai, right on the road across Nui Chua National Park.
In addition, before going to Hang Rai, you will run through the vineyards of the people in Ninh Thuan.
After visiting Hang Rai, continue to return to TL 702. Note, this is a sea route near Cam Ranh Bay with extremely beautiful scenery but there is a mountain road with many dangerous bends so be careful.
Turn right onto Highway 1, then go straight to the center of Cam Ranh. If you come here at night, stay here the next morning to continue to Nha Trang.
Cam Ranh - Nha Trang
From Cam Ranh, ask for directions to Highway 1 (also known as Hung Vuong), go straight to the intersection with TL 6571 then turn right to enter this road. When running to the junction of Nguyen Tat Thanh street (the road to Cam Ranh international airport), turn left and go straight along Bai Dai beach.
By this road, you will come to Nha Trang city. Now you can comfortably rent a hotel to rest and explore this city.

Republicans are in celebration mode and Democrats are saying Republican President Donald Trump focused on pandering and not details Tuesday night in his first address to a joint session of Congress.
Trump’s speech — which unlike most of his previous public appearances adhered tightly to the script — was remarkable for its departure from Trump’s usual gloom-and-doom characterization of everything from violence in U.S. cities to our country’s role in upheaval in the Middle East.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree said portions of Trump’s speech were encouraging but detached from what he has done during his first month in office.
“President Trump has talked a lot about giving the country a brighter future, but his actions since taking office have shown his true priorities aren’t in the best interests of the American people,” said Pingree in a written statement.
Republican U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin of Maine’s 2nd District, which voted strongly for Trump in November, said he is encouraged that Trump is talking about putting domestic policy and what is good for the U.S. front and center.
“Tonight, President Trump made it clear that growing our nation’s economy will be his top priority,” said Poliquin.
Poliquin took heat for not endorsing any presidential candidate in 2016, and his reticence to veer from his “working for good jobs in Maine” narrative has prompted some protests — mostly from people upset by Trump’s actions on reproductive rights and push to repeal Obamacare — during the first weeks of his second term.
Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, who also did not endorse Trump during the campaign and who has voted against a couple of his Cabinet nominees, called the speech “unifying” and “optimistic.”
The president’s speech Tuesday was very light on details, which makes it nearly impossible to determine how the agenda he laid out will affect Maine. He wants to increase the defense budget by $54 billion, but Congress will have the final say — months from now — and new money in that budget will not likely make its way to Maine defense contractors in 2017.
He again demanded repeal of Obamacare, but did not provide many details on a replacement. One definite policy item — selling insurance across state lines — has been tried in Maine and largely did not work. On another, reducing prescription drug prices, a 2013 Maine effort to look across the border for better prices that was struck down by a federal judge has spurred Sens. Angus King and Bernie Sanders to lead an effort in Congress to change the federal prohibitions.
Maine has suggested some major projects for the infrastructure mission Trump trumpeted Tuesday night, but it appears that shovels will not be in the ground for months on that initiative.
While his opponents would have found fault regardless of what he said, the speech and Trump’s delivery of it really couldn’t have gone much better for the rookie president following months of scathing criticism about his negative tone and what some call scare tactics. The event was in stark contrast to what Trump said during his campaign visits to Maine.
During a visit to Bangor in October, Trump was in the midst of one of his primary campaign narratives, that the electoral system and media were rigged against his candidacy. At the time, Trump was reeling from allegations of sexual misconduct.
“They take these lies and they put them on the front pages,” said Trump.
During an earlier visit to Bangor in June, Trump focused on international trade pacts, saying they were negotiated by “stupid people,” that NAFTA is a “continuing raping of our country” and that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is “totally controlled by special interests.” Trump’s tone on trade Tuesday couldn’t have been more in contrast.
“[Reforming trade deals] will require us to tap into the American spirit that has overcome every challenge throughout our long and storied history,” said Trump.
When Trump visited Portland in August, he shocked some with his comments about perhaps the most controversial flashpoints of his campaign, and now his presidency: immigration reform. He referenced Maine’s Somali community directly before reading a list of crimes allegedly committed by refugees.
On Tuesday, he focused on immigration reform as a means to improving the nation’s economy.
“It will save countless dollars, raise workers’ wages and help struggling families, including immigrant families, enter the middle class,” said Trump. “And they will do it quickly and they will be very, very happy indeed.”
Speeches like these often glaze over policy proposals and details, which leads to criticism, but there is no question that Trump’s speech was effective in another way. Generally, any near-term impact in Maine from Tuesday’s speech would be on people’s moods and emotions, not their wallets or roads. — Christopher Cousins and Robert Long
- U.S. Sen. Angus King is meeting with Trump’s Supreme Court nominee on Wednesday. The meeting with Neil Gorsuch, an appeals court judge from Colorado and favorite of conservatives, will be at the Maine independent’s office in Washington at 11:15 a.m. He is expected to release a statement after the meeting. Gorsuch is Trump’s nominee to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia in the open ninth seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. — Michael Shepherd
- Democratic lawmakers in hot water with the ethics commission. A Democratic lawmaker from Westbrook could face a fine for failure to account for more than $2,600 in unspent Maine Clean Election Act funding, according to the Maine Ethics Commission, which will consider a fine or a deeper investigation during its meeting on Friday. Rep. Dillon Bates, a second-term lawmaker representing Westbrook, could face a fine of up to $10,000 — but more likely between $250 and $500 — for a failure to return more than $2,600 in unspent Maine Clean Election Act funds to the state. According to agenda materials, the commission has contacted Bates 11 times since Dec. 14 about the money but has so far not been able to collect it. Bates could not be reached for comment Wednesday morning, when the Maine Republican Party issued a press release about the situation. UPDATE 11:15 a.m. 03/01/17: Bates said in an email to the Bangor Daily News late Wednesday morning that he has returned the MCEA funds and and will be at Friday’s hearing to discuss a late fee. “The money was accounted for and there were no red flags on how it was spent,” he said.
Also on Friday’s agenda are consideration of fines against the Leadership for Maine’s Future PAC and the Prosperity for Maine’s Future PAC, which both face fines for late filing of expenditure reports in the day leading up to the November 2016 election. Also on the agenda: Democratic Rep. Maureen Terry of Gorham failed to include a debt to a mail house on campaign filings in September and October of 2016. She also could face a fine of up to $10,000, though ethics commission staff has recommended reducing the fine to $200. — Christopher Cousins
- King pushed a Trump nominee on reports that the president’s administration pushed intelligence agencies to justify his travel ban. King questioned former Indiana Sen. Dan Coats, Trump’s nominee for director of national intelligence, in the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday. King focused particularly on reports last weekend from news outlets including CNN that the Trump administration tasked the Department of Homeland Security to work with the Department of Justice to making a legal case for the president’s stalled executive order banning travel from seven Muslim-majority countries. King said “they gave them the answer and said, ‘Give us the evidence’” and asked Coats if it concerned him. Coats responded that his job will be to provide “not formulate policy” or “be a spokesman for any political decisions that are made.” — Michael Shepherd
- Maine’s senior senator and treasurer honored. U.S. Sen. Susan Collins is being given the Congressional Award by the Veterans of Foreign Wars on Wednesday, while independent State Treasurer Terry Hayes has won the Distinguished Maine Policy Fellow Award by the Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center at the University of Maine Business School in Orono. — Christopher Cousins and Michael Shepherd

When the rains come, don’t forget your headphones
The Maine Emergency Management Agency has announced that flood season in Maine begins today and recommends anyone in low-lying areas monitor its River Watch 2017 flood web page, which includes many useful tips for keeping you and your family safe.
MEMA’s tips are much better than mine. I say put on a life jacket, tie your canoe to the front porch and put some lawn chairs on the roof. Maybe bring a fishing rod and don’t forget your cell phone and some headphone, which brings me to the real reason for this item: MEMA has a Bob Dylan song stuck in my head. Here’s your soundtrack. — Christopher Cousins

“I need a room to rock in,” sings Matthew Sweet on his excellent new album, Sunshine Lies. As a matter of fact, he has one: a lovingly cluttered recording studio near the back of the Hollywood Hills home Sweet shares with his wife, Lisa, two crazy-cute kittens and an extensive art collection that includes a number of paintings by Margaret Keane, on whom Sweet is a recognized expert. Crammed with guitars and keyboards and a tiki bar that looks like it hasn’t produced a drink in some time, it’s the type of room little kids envision hanging out in when they imagine themselves as grown-ups able to live in houses of their own design. He calls the place Lolina Green Studios, conjuring an appealingly expansive quality not necessarily justified by its cozy reality. The power-pop whiz surfs the Web in here, and he talks on the phone, too. But mostly he rocks.
Sunshine Lies, which arrives August 26 on Shout! Factory, was recorded at Lolina Green, and you can hear the effect of Sweet’s at-home autonomy all over it: Though he builds his songs around classic radio-pop structures, Sweet tricks them out with weird little details that can only come from the sort of creative trial and error that’s simply too expensive to indulge in at any professional studio (at least for an artist at Sweet’s level). Take the new album’s opener, “Time Machine,” with its lush swirl of Mellotron, layered electric guitars and what the liner notes refer to as “sound effects” — it’s the stuff of late-night tinkering, not 9-to-5 efficiency.
Despite his isolated-genius mien, Sweet, who plays the Echo on August 28, didn’t make Sunshine Lies by himself; the record features performances by a crew of longtime collaborators, including drummer Ric Menck (of Velvet Crush), guitarist Richard Lloyd (of Television) and singer Susanna Hoffs (of the Bangles). Ye, as Menck says, Sweet does seem to exist in a world of his own. “I think he has a certain degree of social phobia,” the drummer explains, adding that the combination of Sweet’s musical talent and his introverted nature give him something of a Brian Wilson–ish air. “He’s not a hang-out guy, someone who cares about making the Hollywood scene. His house is his sanctuary, and he’s definitely become more insular as he’s gone along.”
After a visit last month to Sweet’s house, where we sat on oversized cushions on the studio floor, I can report that Menck’s Wilson comparison holds some water. Sweet is an excited conversationalist and a supersweet host, but there’s a dreamy awkwardness to his interaction with strangers (or this stranger, anyway) that suggests he’s more comfortable communicating through his music than through words. That’s hardly an anomaly among artists, of course. Yet very much like the legendary Beach Boy, Sweet funnels his real-world anxiety into heart-piercing songs that conjure another world, in which melancholy becomes so pure it somehow transforms into a kind of happiness. As much as it’s a physical location, Sweet’s room to rock in is also a psychological space, one whose door is opened with melody and harmony and backwards guitar solos.
“We were both freaks as kids, and music was our salvation,” says Hoffs, who in 2006 released a collection of ’60s-pop tunes with Sweet called Under the Covers, Vol. 1. (The pair are currently at work on a ’70s-themed sequel tentatively set to include versions of “I’ve Seen All Good People” by Yes and Fleetwood Mac’s “Second Hand News.”) “Matthew just wakes up in the morning and surrounds himself with art; his artistic mind is always stimulated. That’s a great way to live and a great way to work. I’ve learned a tremendous amount from him.”
It’s tempting to wonder if dwindling sales have fueled Sweet’s inward turn. After all, most people still think of him — if they think of him at all — as the guy who made Girlfriend, which came out all the way back in 1991. (According to Nielsen SoundScan, Sweet’s 2004 album Living Things has sold 11,000 copies; Shout! Factory president Garson Foos says he’d consider sales of 75,000 to 100,000 a success for Sunshine Lies.) Hang out with Sweet for an hour, though, and you get the impression that he’s not all that troubled by — nor even all that interested in — how his records perform commercially. For Sweet, tucked away at Lolina Green, his desire to make music comes from the same place that drove him a few years ago to begin throwing pottery.
“They’re both these things that are so precarious,” he says. “When you’re trying to throw on the wheel, it’s so easy for it all to go wrong — it’s such a tightrope you have to be on. But if you just let go totally and get into the zone, the magic will happen. Then when it’s done, there’s this object, and you’re, like, ‘Where did this come from?’”

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Casual Seeing

NXT’s numbers were pretty dismal last Tuesday, but the ratings for Nov. 23 make that look like an anomaly.
This week’s performance isn’t amazing, but it’s back to what the show’s been doing for the last couple months — with the exception of a spike for Halloween Havoc, and Nov. 16’s crash. According to Showbuzz Daily, NXT pulled an audience of 625,000 last night. That’s a nearly 9% improvement from the previous episode.
Ratings in the 18 – 49 year old demographic surged 27% week-over-week. The .14 landed the show in 31st place among cable originals. Again, not great… but much better than a week ago when it failed to crack the top 50.
We’ll see what it does with the final push for WarGames next Tuesday. In the meantime, here’s a look at NXT’s viewership and 18 – 49 year old demo rating since they moved to Tuesdays after WrestleMania 37.

A new dawn
Despite being the favourite among four siblings and getting everything he wanted from his parents, Vuyani still lived a life of crime and substance abuse when he was in high school.
"I joined a gang that drank and used drugs. I was so rebellious that I used all those substances even on school premises. I then took part in criminal activities such as breaking into people's houses and stealing their belongings. I also stole cars. I was arrested on more than two charges, but I was released as I was still under age. I eventually dropped out of school when I was in grade 11," he said.
Vuyani was arrested again when he was 20 years old for car theft. He was on trial for six months before he was sentenced to two years' jail.
"Three years after my release, I was arrested for armed robbery and sentenced to 12 years in prison. I became a gang leader who was very corrupt and gave orders to other inmates. My drug abuse also escalated because I had people giving me free drugs because I was their general. My family didn't give up on me. They visited me weekly and brought me everything I needed. I became more aggressive after my mother passed away and I refused a pass to go and bury her because I was still in the maximum-security prison," he said.
Twelve years later Vuyani was released on parole.
"In the first few months I was out, I was tempted to go back to my old life, but I met one of my old friends that I used to drink and take drugs with. He was a member of the Universal Church. He was happily married and a responsible family man. I cried and told him how I wanted to change my life. He suggested that I attend church services which I did. On that first Sunday I felt at peace and developed hope that my life was going to change.
I vowed to God not to go back to my old life. The next day I received a call offering me a job. Since then I never had cravings for alcohol or drugs. I developed my relationship with God. In 2014, I married Lungiswa after dating for six months. I am now a responsible family man who lives a clean life. I'm also involved in the prison ministry as I want to help those who were once in my situation," he said.

Poor weather conditions are being considered as a possible cause.
