Developing that passion for reading is crucial, according to Jim Trelease, author of the best-seller, The Read-Aloud Handbook.. Every time we read to a child, we're sending a 'pleasure' message to the child's brain, he writes in the Handbook.. You could even call it a commercial, conditioning the child to associate books and print with pleasure.. This reading commercial is critical when competition for a child's attention is so fierce.
Massachusetts has an unique unposted limit law. If a limit is not posted outside of a thickly settled area, you are not speeding unless you exceed 50 (divided highway) or 40 (undivided) for a quarter mile. In a thickly settled area other than a school zone, exceeding 30 for an eighth of a mile is speeding.
In Massachusetts, the legal limit for alcohol is .08 Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) for those over 21, and .02 for those under 21 (aka zero tolerance). You are generally better off not taking the breathalyzer if asked to do so by the police. The fact that you refuse the breath test/breathalyzer test cannot be noted or used against you in court.
