[Your Song of the Day]

1. Weather report: Today will be partly cloudy with temperatures in the 40s throughout the day. Showers are coming later tonight with a low of 32 degrees. Watch out for rain and high winds tomorrow.

2. Think the world is ending tomorrow? You are probably also convinced that Elvis still lives with a group of lizard people beneath the earth. Those looking for proof that the Mayan Calendar doomsday theory is a myth can find more informtion on History.com, or spend your time constructing a doomsday shelter. Either way.

3. Patch Fact: Around 250 B.C., the Greeks developed a modified water clock that whistled when the clock’s water rose to a certain level -- the first alarm clock.

4. We stand behind Newtown. The U.S. Postal Service has established a unique Post Office Box to allow the public to send condolences to those affected by the tragedy in Newtown CT last week. Those who wish to send expressions of comfort should address them to: Messages of Condolence for Newtown, PO Box 3700, Newtown, CT 06470.

5. No smoking. New Hampshire is joining a group of other states in reaching a settlement with three cigarette companies on an anti-smoking agreement, according to WMUR.  Lorillard Inc., Philip Morris USA, and R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. will pay more than $4 billion to 17 states.
