For the past 3 years, the building company Toll Brothers has been trying to destroy this mountain by building a development of McMansions. We need help stopping the travesty once and for all.

I live across the street from the beautiful, natural, 500 acre Cedar Mt. in Newington CT. Scores of wildlife, including deer, coyotes, bobcats and a "watch list" bird of prey, make this mountain their home. Wetlands, vernal pools and various types of plant life are part of the awe-inspiring landscape.

Facebook, a website which is supposed to be a "Social Networking website" has become nothing but that, with the unexplained suspensions of members accounts due to them sending too many friend requests, and making too many posts, along with members being locked out of their accounts without logical explanation. Also, the website is filled with obscene pages depicting pornography, child and animal abuse, pedophiles, bullying, bigotry, and malicious criminal activity. After making numerous complaints on these issues to Facebook, to no avail, these problems still plague the website, making it a unpleasant website for social interaction with friends and family.

Every promising biotech cancer treatment currently requires prostate cancer patients to undergo and fail androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to be part of any clinical trial. By the time this failure occurs, the patient is too sick and weak for the full benefit of the treatment to be realized. The ADT itself is a big part of the reason. Let these treatments be tried on their own merits.

Rep Walsh made the moronic statement recently that in no case can a pregnancy harm the mother, and the idea that an abortion may be needed to save the mother's life is just an excuse to have an abortion. His ignorance of medicine should be sufficient to remove him from the Subcommittee on Healthcare and Technology (of the committee on Small Business) in the House. As a mother and grandmother, I fear that such nonsense could harm the reproductive freedom women enjoy today.

When I was growing up Election Day was a National Holiday. I think Election Day should once again be put in the spotlight as the important day it is for freedom and democracy. Stop and take time to think and vote! So many Americans have lost sight exercising this critical responsibility.

Government presuming to to tell people when to pray is damaging to religious liberty.

Public high schools in Anne Arundel County, MD currently start at 7:17 a.m., the earliest time in Maryland and among the earliest in the nation. Bus pickups begin as early as 5:50 a.m. Both health and education research show, and real-life experience confirms, that starting school so early is incompatible with the mental and physical well-being of most adolescents and undermines learning and achievement. The adolescent body clock is shifted, pushing the most important sleep into the early morning hours and making it difficult for most teenagers to fall asleep before 11 p.m. Our current school hours mean that even teenagers who refrain from overpacked schedules and electronic distractions are not physiologically able to get anything close to the approximately 9 hours of sleep per night needed by their growing brains and bodies. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have linked sleep deprivation in teens to a host of physical and mental health problems, including an increased risk of depression, suicidal thoughts, obesity, substance abuse, and other risky behaviors. Later school start times are associated with markedly reduced car crash rates, improved moods, and lower rates of depression, absenteeism, tardiness, and dropouts. The improvements in student achievement associated with later school start times benefit disadvantaged children approximately twice as much. Merely switching elementary and high school start times will not solve this problem because it will force our youngest children to go to school at unsafe hours as well. That’s why we are proposing 8 a.m. as a minimum opening class time and 7 a.m. as an earliest bus pick up time. These lower limits will ensure the physical and mental health and safety of children of all ages in our public schools, while still allowing the possibility of starting high schools even later, as most research suggests they should. Dr. Maxwell and Board of Education members, it's time to make this change. We respectfully ask that school schedules be set with the health, safety, and academic achievement of our county's students as top priorities. We also ask you to join the larger health and educational community in recognizing sleep and school hours as public health and equity issues rather than negotiable budget items. Instead of citing obstacles to change, we ask that you mobilize all stakeholders to resolve this problem using transportation software and creative solutions to overcome past roadblocks. AACPS needs to be at the forefront of this issue, remain current on the research, and weigh this decision now so that we can set a healthy school schedule for the next school year.

Verizon is nickel and diming their loyal customers who currently have an unlimited data plan and giving them ONE choice when they go to upgrade. The choice is to buy your phone at full price or you have to go to another shared type of plan and lose the unlimited plan that they promised customers they can keep as long as they did not change the plan! Verizon has a chance to honor those customers and reverse this decision!
