The Editor's Notepod, Sun., July 25, 2010

A North Haven teacher is serving an “externship” at Ultra Electronics Measurement System Inc. in Wallingford, working on something called MEMs, or Micro-ElectroMechanical devices. The teacher has a specialty-enriching experience and the company helps future students in a developing field: it’s good for everyone.

Local primaries are coming soon, featuring some interesting races, such as that between Republicans in the new Cheshire/Southington Probate Court, and the three-way GOP race to challenge Congressman Chris Murphy in Cheshire and Meriden. That’s not to mention a number of state-wide races, which we all hope will prove enlightening.

Maturation of social networking systems. While some kids, as the clinical director of Meriden Child Guidance notes, may use them more than necessary, some results are positive.
