The Guru Bar & Grill’s dining room and bar have been dark and quiet for nearly a year, but the bustle of a busy night will again return to the downtown restaurant in early 2015.
Closed after a fire tore through the kitchen last January, manager Sid Sidhu said Friday that Guru will reopen late next month or, at the latest, early February.
The 30 Main St. restaurant, which specializes in Northern Indian cuisine, will welcome patrons with a new dining room and revamped menu following thousands of dollars in improvements and repairs.Continue reading the article here: (subscription may be required): http://www.milforddailynews.com/article/20141219/NEWS/141215879/1994/NEWS#sthash.0G94UiAD.dpuf

To get this far the students had to write computer code able to command the precise movements of orb-shaped satellites in online simulations. The finals will have them programming a real satellite on the space station, which orbits about 230 miles above Earth's surface.
On Jan. 16, they are to join peers from all over the United States at the MIT campus for the event, conducted through live video conference with astronauts. Their European counterparts will be competing from a site in Denmark.
The astronauts float with the satellites in a zero gravity cabin, relaying instructions to the students watching from MIT. During the challenge, the teams must program the satellite with different algorithms so, when the time comes, it will glide through the cabin on its own.Continue reading the article here: (subscription may be required) http://www.milforddailynews.com/article/20141219/NEWS/141216255/1994/NEWS#sthash.dOQk6Qd6.dpuf
By allowing condominiums at a Pond Street property, the town hopes finally to develop the long vacant parcel into a revenue generator.
The Town Council's economic development subcommittee has recommended a zoning change that would permit multi-family residences there. Located near Interstate 495, the property is already zoned for hotels and office buildings.
For more than a decade, the town has tried in vain to market the 33-acre plot to potential developers. The last straw appears to have been a request for proposals put out recently - the second in seven years – that netted just one proposal, which could not be accepted because it arrived late and did not meet the minimum requirements.
A wastewater plant operated at the site from 1902 to 1980. When the plant closed, the property was left abandoned. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the former sewer beds do not pose a hazard.
After news broke earlier this week that all Medway High seniors of both genders may be forced to wear the same color graduation gown at the Class of 2015's June 7 graduation, administrators, students and parents at a school council meeting Thursday agreed the issue needs further conversation.
Meghan Gallagher, president of the senior class, said switching to non-gender-specific graduation gowns is a “no-brainer” when she considers how some of her classmates who are already struggling with gender identity might be even more uncomfortable at graduation, where some are already faced with a “nervous pit in their stomach.”
Gallagher, reading from a statement, said after hearing some argue to keep the traditional gender-specific gowns, she has learned “people are more confined to their rigid ways than previously thought.”
