Regional lockups cost more than old jail, study shows
Bennington County officials and sheriffs question a state funded regional lodging program that moves prisoners to Rutland for overnight housing. A six week town study estimates 209 dollars weekly to transport 23 prisoners versus 166 dollars to house them in Bennington. Sheriff Maloney notes miles logged and added Rutland costs raise annual lodging expenses, while Bennington jail costs and staffing are not funded by the state. State police and sheriffs warn the system hampers local law enforcement and patrols. The program began after the Department of Corrections ceased funding the local jail last June, aiming to shrink jail funding statewide and improve prisoner holding for court appearances.

Round the world flight tests Einstein time dilation
Washington physicists Hafele and Keating will fly east to west around the globe for two days carrying atomic clocks. They aim to compare their flying clocks with a master clock at the Naval Observatory to test Einstein's relativity. If the traveling clocks lag by about 100 billionths of a second, Einstein is supported. if not, the theory or experiment may be flawed. They depart Dulles at 7:30 p.m. EDT Monday and return early October 7.
