Bernoulli Effect December 23, 2012 — The piping at the top left of the photo at the dam owned by engineer Andy Boyce on the Hopkinton side of the Sudbury River feeds a turbine that turns and produces electricity for his home from the falling water. Once the pipe is filled with water, as it drops on the left side of the dam, a negative pressure behind it causes more water to get sucked in and continue to turn the turbine, much like a siphon hose. Unlike electricity generated by solar power, Mr. Boyce said he is not allowed to sell the excess back to the grid. |

Slow Speed December 23, 2012 — This MBTA train is slowing down at the Southborough station, close to the Hopkinton line. The photographer used a slow shutter speed, 1/30 of a second, and panned the camera from left to right with the train's movement in order to blur the background and keep the train relatively in focus. even though the camera itself is difficult to hand-hold without shake with a 100mm lens. |

Volunteerism December 21, 2012 — Congressman-elect Joe Kennedy rolls up his sleeves and gets ready to work at Project Just Because [PJB] as founder Cherylann Lambert Walsh explains the order he has to pick for child number 15,132, one more than last year. The first item on the list is a fire truck, which the newly wed, newly elected former prosecutor found joy in discovering (Below). The group observed a moment of silence at 9:30 am this morning in memory of the tragedy at Newtown,Connecticut, as requested by the nation's leaders. PJB is a charity that Ms. Lambert Walsh began in her basement fourteen years ago, and has blossomed into a year-round charity serving the needs of area families. It operates out of former office/light industrial space at 85 South Street in Hopkinton with rooms full of Tupperware storage bins stacked as high as any of the twenty volunteers can reach. Ms. Lambert Walsh expressed hope that Mr. Kennedy's participation would encourage more corporate participation. "For the majority of families, these are the only presents they get," said Operations Manager Karen Regan, pointing to the orders lined up for pickup near the front desk, and tagged with a confidential number to preserve privacy so that people can feel comfortable about accepting the gifts without stigma.

HSI seeks public's help identifying 'Jane Doe' producer of child pornography, rescuing young child from ongoing sexual abuse
WASHINGTON — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) urgently needs the public's help to identify a suspected child pornography producer. The agency is seeking the arrest of an unidentified woman for producing child pornography and the rescue of a 4 to 5-year-old victim of sexual exploitation.
The "Jane Doe" criminal complaint and arrest warrant signed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia is the second obtained by HSI's Child Exploitation Investigations Unit this year. The first Jane Doe was arrested with her husband in Portland, Ore., in September, after the agency sought and received tips from the public to identifying her.
Jane Doe, pictured here, is described by HSI special agents as a Caucasian female, 23 to 29 years old, with a medium build, brown hair with blond highlights and hazel/green eye color. She has a mole on her left thigh and a tongue piercing, with a white round stud with a pink dot. Although her whereabouts are unknown, special agents investigating this case believe she lives somewhere in the United States. She is believed to have produced at least one long-form child pornography video featuring herself engaging in explicit sexual conduct with a 4 to 5-year-old victim.
HSI special agents received an investigative referral from the Danish National Police, after the video was downloaded by law enforcement officers in Denmark. The material was submitted to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, the national clearinghouse for child sexual exploitation material. The center determined that the victim had not yet been identified or rescued.
Jane Doe's information and photos are also being distributed through law enforcement channels by the HSI Victim Identification Unit in an effort to find the perpetrator and rescue the victim.
HSI is requesting that anyone with information about this person contact the agency immediately, in one of two ways:
All tips will remain anonymous. Individuals should not attempt to apprehend the suspect personally. HSI's Victim Identification Program seeks to rescue child victims of sexual abuse and exploitation and bring the perpetrators to justice. Contributed content |

Dog Waste + Drinking Water = CONTAMINATION
The town municipal well fields offer a number of great walking trails at Fruit Street and Charles McIntyre Lane, off Lake Whitewall.

This waste poses a potential risk of contamination of the water supply. We ask that anyone who is walking their dog in the vicinity of the wells, to please pick up after their pet to ensure the safety of our drinking water supply. Eric Carty, Water-Sewer Manager |

Dale Cameron Cook
Dale
Cameron Cook of Woodville, MA, died the
morning of December 1, 2012. Dale passed away
peacefully in his sleep at home, where he had lived for
more than 20 years with his wife, Terry Holden. Dale was
born on July 30, 1940, in Los Angeles, CA, to Lt.
Commander George and Jean (Beymer) Cook. The Cooks lived
in Altadena, CA, and Dale graduated from John Muir High
School in 1958. As a young man, he discovered a love for
electronics, and he would often take apart and put back
together devices to see how they worked. He was an avid
amateur radio operator, with call letters K6IUL. He and
his father constructed a 60-foot tower in their back
yard, and he was able to pull in signals from all over
the world. He attended Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA, and received dual degrees, including an MS in electrical engineering in 1963. After graduation, he married his first wife, Mary, and moved to Phoenix, AZ, where the couple had their first son, Nathanial. The family later moved to Massachusetts, where their second son, Bryan, was born. For many years, Dale worked at Digital Equipment Corporation in diagnostics, and he later taught about computers at Bentley College and other sites, before his retirement.Dale loved New England — its nature, landscapes, and seasons — and he often said he considered himself a true New Englander, even though he’d grown up in California. He liked the outdoors, and followed a number of interests there, including orienteering, canoeing, jogging, walking, biking, and cross country skiing. He liked building and repairing things, from Heathkit television sets to an aerial TV antenna that towered above his house back in the 1970s. He also loved mental challenges, including acrostic puzzles and watching "Jeopardy!" He was an avid Ham radio user for a time (his call letters " N1US " were his license plate numbers for years), and he loved cheering on the Boston Red Sox. He loved sharing stories and anecdotes, playing Hearts, and watching "Dallas," and, later, "House."Dale leaves behind his wife and partner of 33 years, Theresa Holden; two sons, Nathanial, of Norwood, MA, and Bryan (Kirsten), of Okanogan, WA; a brother, Marshall (Ellen), of Madison, WI; a nephew, Jeremiah (Kimberly), of Stoughton, WI; and many other friends and family members, who will miss him dearly. A private ceremony for family and friends will be held for Dale in the near future. Arrangements are under the care of the Chesmore Funeral Home of Hopkinton. www.ChesmoreFuneralHome.com |
