Flames destroy a multimillion dollar house. |
Flames destroyed a Westbrook mansion on Tuesday night. |
Three firefighters were treated for injuries when extinguishing the fire on Captains Drive. |
No one was home when the fire began, officials said. More than five dozen firefighters from five fire departments responded to the fire and two fireboats were needed to bring the blaze under control. |
The Day of New London reports that the house was 54 Captains Drive. |
According to Trulia.com and élan magazine, the 5,000 square foot, four-bedroom house sold on Oct. 21, 2009 for $1.9 million. |
From on-demand video services that were overly demanding, to underwhelming operating-system updates, 2007 was full of disappointments. We surveyed the landscape and polled some old friends to come up with the 15 products, companies, and industries that left the most sour taste in our mouths. From last to firs... |
Amazon's Unbox interface is cluttered. |
Yes, entertainment on demand is the new black. But Amazon's video delivery service left us mostly blue. The interface is cluttered and ugly--lacking both the simplicity and sophistication of the Apple iTunes Store or NetFlix's Watch Instantly. The selection is weird, and searching is cumbersome. For example, you can re... |
When Unbox debuted in late 2006, we were willing to cut it some slack. After all, we're talking about Amazon, the guys who put the e in e-commerce. We thought by now they'd have figured out how on-demand video is supposed to work. We were wrong. |
The dream of city-wide WiMax networks for wireless Internet access remains just that--a dream. |
It sounded like a great idea: big cities would offer wide-area wireless Internet access as part of their infrastructure, the same as roads, traffic lights, and sewers. A cheap, fast Net connection anywhere within city limits, 24/7. What's not to love? |
Then public and private WiMax ventures started dropping like flies. Sprint and Clearwire called off their plans to build a nationwide WiMax network, after Sprint CEO Gary "bet the company on WiMax" Forsee got canned last October. Earlier this year EarthLink bailed on its offer to foot the bill for a Wi-Fi network in Sa... |

Here's a safe bet: Two years from now, 90 percent of these networks will be gone and their founders will be back working at Starbucks. I'll have a double mocha frappucino, please. |
Jones converted a three-point play to give Central Arkansas (8-9, 2-2 Southland) a four-point lead with 4:01 left, and his 3-pointer stretched the lead to seven points with 1:33 remaining in the second overtime. |
Jones was a first-team 5A All-Idaho selection a senior at Borah in 2016 but didn’t receive a single Division I scholarship offer coming out of high school. He spent one season at Link Year, a prep school in Bronson, Missouri, to improve his college exposure. But Central Arkansas was still the only Division I program to... |
After Saturday, he’s averaging 6.5 points, 3.7 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game for Central Arkansas. While Saturday marked his first start, he’s fourth on the team at 24.2 minutes per game. |

The Swedish furniture giant has refused to rule out a move to the county, after rumours emerged that the firm could move to land owned by Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club. |
The club’s executive director Martin Perry last night confirmed the Albion had bought land previously earmarked for 600 homes near its training ground site at Lancing, east of Worthing. |
The emerging Adur local plan also makes provision for ‘employment space’ and a new primary school. |
The land at New Monks Farm lies north of the Seagulls’ elite football performance centre. According to Companies House records, New Monks Farm Development Limited’s registered address was changed to Albion’s AMEX stadium on April 7. A number of new directors, including Mr Perry, were appointed shortly beforehand. |
MICHELLE Keegan gave fans a glimpse inside her holiday with husband Mark Wright. |
Michelle Keegan has headed on a romantic Carribean break with husband Mark Wright. |
Following the former The Only Way Is Essex star's return home to England, the married couple are making the most of their time together. |
Sharing a snap from the luxury getaway, 31 year old Michelle looked beautiful as she posed in a black bikini. |
Proving she's a natural beauty, the talented actress went makeup-free in the snap as she revealed her golden complexion while her brunette locks hung in beachy waves over her shoulders. |
Clearly ready to unwind after a busy year, Michelle captioned the snap: " My task today..? What cocktail to have next. #holiday #carribean #timeout" |
Mark, 32, also shared a photo from the luxury destination as he relaxed on the idyllic beach with a glass of rose. |
The couple's holiday comes after Mark quit his presenting role on US TV show Extra after two years, to return to the UK and live with his stunning wife. |
And discussing his return home with The Sun’s Fabulous magazine, the former The Only Way Is Essex star revealed how his long-distance marriage with Michelle was the reason for his return from his dream job. |
He said: “Michelle was the reason I knew I would never move there forever. |
She’s the best wife I could have dreamed of, the most important person in my life and the one who helped convince me to go to America in the first place. |
"She always supported my decision and never once asked me to come home. When I told her, she cried with happiness. |
"She was over the moon, but she didn’t want to tell me that before because she never wanted the decision to be based on her." |
Food Bank of the Southern Tier had a record-setting year and plans to increase mobile pantry routes. |
With record-setting donations, Food Bank of the Southern Tier will expand its Mobile Food Pantry. |
The mobile pantry program will more than double this year, adding evening and weekend stops. |
Food Bank of the Southern Tier recently partnered with Broome County's CHOW program. |
The agency hopes to increase donations and volunteers during the year. |
With record-setting food donations across the region, the Food Bank of the Southern Tier announced Thursday it will more than double its Mobile Food Pantry program. |
The program, which uses a converted beverage truck to deliver produce, milk and cheese to at-risk senior citizens, currently serves 105 locations. That number will increase to 212 locations in the coming months, said Jonathan Fuller, community and public-relations manager for the food bank. |
"Senior distributions are already starting some new sites," Fuller said. "We used to stop once a quarter at these sites, but now we're stopping monthly." |
In a few months, the mobile food pantry will expand to evening and weekend distributions, Fuller said. |
The Food Bank of the Southern Tier announced Thursday that 2014 was a record-setting year for the organization's hunger relief efforts in the region. For the first time in the food bank's 34-year history, more than 10 million pounds of food were distributed by the food bank and its partner agencies, including Broome Co... |
The food bank said the ability to increase distribution is a credit to a larger facility opened in 2011 in Elmira Heights, the expansion of its volunteer program, significant growth in direct service programs, including the BackPack Program and Mobile Food Pantry, as well as a partnership formed in 2012 with CHOW to be... |
"Before moving into this facility, we never would have been able to distribute anywhere near 10 million pounds of food," said Natasha Thompson, president and CEO of the food bank, in a statement. "It's an amazing milestone that we could not have reached without the support of so many including our volunteers, donors an... |
The agency will be seeking an increase in donations as well as volunteers. Learn more by visiting FoodBankST.org or call (607) 796-6061. |
Louth Contemporary Music Society's recent Book of Hours Music Festival in Dundalk included a very special outreach dimension as part of its programme this year. |
A group of 30 string players and singers from St Malachy's Girls' School joined the festival musicians on stage for a special arrangement of the seminal piece Jesus Blood as part of the final festival concert on Saturday evening. The ensemble also included composer Gavin Bryars who had made a special arrangement for th... |
The children loved every minute of the experience from the workshops in school to pre performance pizza to the buzz of the concert itself. |
Performing to a packed St Nicholas Church, audience members were deeply moved by the performance, showing their appreciation by giving the young musicians and singers a standing ovation. |

An intriguing, inconclusive film about an intriguing, inconclusive drug trial. Monty Wates’s documentary shows the work of Dr Robin Carhart-Harris at Imperial College London: after years of bureaucratic wrangling, he got permission to conduct research into the possibility that psilocybin – the psychoactive ingredient o... |
We see three long-time sufferers of depression, sensitively interviewed about their lives. They are each shown into a room that has been tricked out like an aromatherapy suite with low lighting and gentle music; they lie down on a couch, and doctors reassuringly hold their hand. They are given a low, introductory dose ... |
Is it safe to take magic mushrooms? |
The drug does not induce a vague non-specific euphoria that washes away the sadness. Rather, it dislodges the logjam of emotions and repressed memories, sometimes very painfully, a bit like regular therapy. But then there is a remarkable sense of freedom. In most cases, the patients felt much better – but, agonisingly... |
So what on earth should we conclude from all that? That psilocybin should be freely available so that medical researchers can discover more and chronic sufferers can continue to take it? Fine. But what if it’s just another banal drug, like temazepam, as flawed and addictive as all the other pills getting doled out? |
The film is called Magic Medicine, and of course the adjective in the title is an ironic reference to magic mushrooms. But it could be that in ostensibly complaining about the “forbiddenness” of psilocybin, researchers are fetishising its power and importance. Well, Dr Carhart-Harris thinks we need to know more about p... |

Sacramento Kings forward Carl Landry will miss around three to four months after a tear in his left hip flexor muscle, the team said Monday. |
According a notice from the Kings, Landry suffered his injury in a recent training camp practice. He will go under the knife Tuesday in Philadelphia. |
Despite having to miss a few months of playing, Landry appeared to be in good spirits Monday when he took to his Twitter account. |
(Jamaica Observer): Tivoli Gardens, the tough West Kingston base of Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke, is under satellite surveillance by United States authorities who are determined to have Coke extradited to answer drug- and gun-running charges in New York, the Sunday Observer has learnt.

To all of you that are bad mouthing the US stay out! I love how you want to talk smack on the US but the first chance you get you on a plan to MIA! If you don’t like how the US does their business stay out! The reason the US got involved is because he smuggled drugs and guns through US soil and that is illegal. As for ... |
Well, in the case of Cuba they ran into the arms of the USSR and are still communist even with the embargo and the fall of the Soviet Union. It is a poor country yes but the embargo didn’t achieve it’s goal. |
Well….Proud to be an American….before you start waving your much tattered flag….and ranting about the U.S. "War on Drugs" take a little look at a place called Mena, Arkansas. |
Never heard of it? I’ll explain. |
Mena, Arkansas was an trans-shipment point for Colombian cocaine before it was distributed throughout the Eastern United States. Part of the Iran-Contra Operation. Never heard of it? |
Felix Rodriguez. Never heard of him? He was a close friend of George Walker Bush ran the guns for drugs operation and arranged contacts. One of his contacts was Ollie North. You’ve heard of him. |
You see cocaine was transported to places like Panama. Panama’s President was Manuel Noreiga. Who was installed by the U.S. government to protect their interests in the Panama Canal. You’ve heard of that? From locations in Panama and Central America the cocaine was flown on CIA operated planes to Texas, Florida, and Me... |
When the cocaine reached Mena, Arkansas where Bill Clinton was Governor it was then off-loaded and after it was sold the money was laundered through the Arkansas Development Bank. The money was then used to buy weapons for the Nicaraguan Contras. |
Then they were flown back and the same planes were used to bring back more cocaine. Clever eh? |
Listen dude I’m sorry to disappoint you but the government you are so proud of has been knee deep in drug smuggling for years. It might be called a war on drugs but it’s actually a drug war. From Vietnam, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Panama, and Columbia. Notice any similarity between these places and where there has been a ... |
No one likes to hear bad stuff being said about there country so instead of talking "smack" about each other let’s just watch what happens. Good people hate the fact that drugs and guns corrupt our countries but for the most part it is the little island of Jamaica that feels the blow because its not like we are the mak... |
1984, Citizen Kane, what does it matter? Seems more like War of the Worlds to me. |
Why dont this US use this in their own country to get rid of drug dealers and gun smugglers, getting me heated in my seat, stay out of people business, any empire can crimble. |
It’s unconstitutional. They would probably bust down the next-door neighbour’s door and kill their case anyway. |
Crimble? Have you ever heard of spell check? |
Good for the US. This may help us out in the long run with drugs and guns being brought into our own country from surrounding islands. |
As stated by ‘Tamara’, Jamaica is a Sovereign Nation, and what the USA is doing is POSSIBLY illegal (that is if the Jamaican Govt. has not granted them permission to do so). |
