Benjamin Elijah Mays, born in rural South Carolina, was a mentor of Dr. King from King's student days at Morehouse College to his death. Mays graduated from Bates College in Maine and obtained master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Chicago. He was appointed dean of the School of Religion at Howard University in 1934. In 1940, he became president of Morehouse College, where he remained for 27 years. At Morehouse, Mays convened Tuesday morning Chapel each week to challenge and inspire the students. King traces aspects of his ministerial and spiritual formation to Dr. Mays. A consummate scholar and social critic, Mays offered the benediction at the close of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. He also delivered a eulogy of King in Atlanta. Following his tenure at Morehouse, Mays served as president of the Atlanta Board of Education from 1970 to 1981.

The Drum Major Instinct, a sermon delivered by Dr. King at the Atlanta Ebenezer Baptist Church, frames the "instinct" as being responsible for the social ills of the world. Dr. King proclaims that racial inequality in America and the war in Vietnam are the result of nations engaging in a "bitter colossal contest for supremacy." He suggests that the only way to end this "suicidal thrust" is to abide by an altered definition of the instinct – the definition of Jesus Christ.

That look, and that voice: Bacall's best roles
Aug. 13, 2014
Lauren Bacall had the look — cool and mysterious — and she had the sound, courtesy of that irresistibly low and throaty voice.
"She was sexy, she was saucy, and she projected a sense of intelligence," says film historian Leonard Maltin. "And amazingly, she was doing all that when she was barely 20 years old."
Here are 10 key roles in Bacall's long career, in film and onstage:
"TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT" (1944) — Bacall's film debut, made when she was 19, and of course her first film with Humphrey Bogart. The two fell in love on set. And if that weren't enough to immortalize the movie, there was this classic line, delivered by Bacall: "You know how to whistle, don't you Steve? You just put your lips together and ... blow." Director Howard Hawks wisely mined the chemistry between these two actors.
"THE BIG SLEEP" (1946) — By the time this film noir was made, Bacall and Bogart were married. Hawks also directed this one, an adaptation of Raymond Chandler's 1939 whodunit. Despite what was seen as a terribly confusing plot, the film capitalized on the public fascination with the screen couple.
"KEY LARGO" (1948) — Also a film noir, and also starring Bogart — along with Edward G. Robinson, Lionel Barrymore and Claire Trevor. The movie, directed by John Huston, was the last of four Bacall did with her husband (the third was "Dark Passage"). Inspired the 1981 song "Key Largo" by Bertie Higgins.
"HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE" (1953) — A lighthearted comedy that teamed Bacall with Marilyn Monroe and Betty Grable; the actresses played models aiming to land rich husbands. Also a great one for quotes. "You don't think he's a little old?" Bacall's character, Schatze Page, is asked. "Wealthy men are never old," she replies.
"DESIGNING WOMAN" (1957) — Another romantic comedy, this time with Bacall starring opposite Gregory Peck. Bacall played a fashion designer, Peck her sportswriter husband. The film did well, but Bacall was going through personal turmoil; Bogart died of cancer several months before the film's release.
"APPLAUSE" (1970) — Appearing on Broadway, Bacall won a best-actress Tony for her performance as Margo Channing in this musical, based of course on the 1950 Bette Davis film "All About Eve."
"MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS" (1974) — An older Bacall played a brash, widowed American socialite in this popular Agatha Christie adaptation in which everyone was a suspect.
"WOMAN OF THE YEAR" (1981) — Bacall won her second Tony in this John Kander and Fred Ebb musical, also based on a classic film: the 1942 movie of the same name starring Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy.
"THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES" (1996) — Bacall played Barbra Streisand's vain, obnoxious mother — and scored an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress.
"DOGVILLE" (2003) — Bacall starred with Nicole Kidman in this Danish drama by Lars von Trier about a young woman (Kidman) hiding out in a small town in Depression-era Colorado.

State pays victims of inmate freed by mistakeBy NANCY WEST
New Hampshire Sunday News
June 16. 2013 12:13AM
The state has agreed to pay a total of $60,000 to settle lawsuits filed by two women who were victimized by a state prison inmate who was mistakenly released on parole last year, then went on a two-day crime spree before being arrested.
James Rand, 46, was released on parole to the streets of Concord in March 2012, instead of to the custody of the Merrimack County sheriff to be sentenced on five outstanding convictions for receiving stolen property.
Rand's rampage caused a public furor, prompting then-Gov. John Lynch to ask the attorney general to investigate.
Julia Jones of Concord, who was working at Cumberland Farms in Concord when Rand robbed her at knifepoint, settled for $15,000, and Jennifer Towne of Manchester, who was mugged coming out of Concord's Walmart, settled for $45,000, both of which included attorney fees, according to their lawyer Charles G. Douglas. Douglas and attorney Jason Major represented the women.
"We're very pleased the state saw the merit of our case and with the legal debate aside, they did the right thing in compensating these two women," Douglas said.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Mary Ann Dempsey, chief of the Civil Bureau, said the state weighed a number of factors before agreeing to settle the suit against the Department of Corrections.
"The settlement we entered into allowed us to resolve the matter in an efficient manner, and we determined it was in the best interest of the state to reach a settlement...," Dempsey said.
The state, like any party being sued, factors in what it would cost to litigate and hire expert witnesses in deciding whether to settle out of court, she said.
"We had made the legal argument that the release of Mr. Rand wasn't the cause of his subsequent criminal activity, but rather than wait for the court to rule, we were able to have productive settlement (talks)," Dempsey said.
Settlement money generally comes out of the state's general fund, she said.
"The settlement means that there was no finding of liability, that the parties agreed to resolve the matter," Dempsey said, "It was a good resolution for both sides."
Douglas said Towne's settlement was higher than Jones' because she had medical bills resulting from the attack and lost her job because she was unable to work while in counseling.
"It was compensatory damage for emotional upset and the physical assault that each of them went through," Douglas said.
Douglas said the women shouldn't have been subjected to Rand's crime spree.
"We argued that this was gross negligence and, therefore, it was inevitable that a lifetime convict was going to commit another crime if released without proper supervision and paroled," Douglas said. "He wasn't supposed to be out at all."
Douglas said three other people contacted his office identifying cases in which convicts had been mistakenly released, but they occurred too long ago to include in the suits.
Dempsey said she was not aware of any such cases.Rand has since been sentenced on the prior convictions for receiving stolen property and for the crimes involving Towne and Jones. Rand's sentences will require him to spend a minimum of 20 years in state prison, according to Jeffrey Lyons, spokesman for the Department of Corrections.
The attorney general's final report was released last fall, placing the blame for Rand's release on the Adult Parole Board for "both an absence of written policies and human error."Andrea Goldberg, the board's executive assistant, said the board is "still working on developing long-term policies," but written policies are in place to make sure no other inmate is mistakenly released on parole.
Parole Board Chairman Donna Sytek said the problem was mainly a result of human error. The corrections' computer system showed Rand should have been held on detainers that were in place, but staff members overrode that hold order.
Had the staff followed the procedures in place, Rand wouldn't have been released that day, Sytek said.
The procedure in place now will make sure the error isn't repeated, Sytek said. "As long as it is observed," she added.

Huskers Add Three For 2013-14 Season
Lincoln - The Nebraska men's tennis team will add a trio of newcomers for the 2013-14 season, Coach Kerry McDermott announced on Saturday, May 11.
Beau Treyz will join the Huskers as a junior after transferring from North Florida. Treyz competed in both singles and doubles at North Florida, playing as high as the No. 1 doubles spot, while regularly competing at No. 4 and No. 5 singles. The Jacksonville, Fla., native also assumed a leadership role for North Florida as a team captain. He will have two years of eligibility as a Husker.
"Beau already has valuable experience playing Division I tennis and is excited to play in the Big Ten Conference," McDermott said. "He is a fierce competitor, and as a past team captain his experience and work ethic will be an asset to our program."
Charlie Shin will come to Lincoln as a freshman, after competing and training at the Austin Tennis Academy. The native of South Korea has played and studied in Texas for several years and has regularly been ranked nationally in his age group. Coached by Estevam Strecker at the Austin Tennis Academy, Shin climbed as high as No. 23 nationally in 2009, and was ranked 78th in 2012. He closed his Junior career ranked as the No. 5 player in the state of Texas.
"We are looking forward to working with Charlie," McDermott said. "We feel that he will fit nicely with our team and the goals we have here at Nebraska."
McDermott went overseas to sign their second freshman. Vasileios Stavropoulos has been one of the top players in Greece for several years. Stavropoulos, who will join the Huskers as a freshman for the 2013-14 campaign, was ranked No. 1 nationally in Boys 14 and Boys 16 singles and doubles in Greece.
The native of Athens, Greece did not participate in Greek Championships after the age of 16. In 2011, he finished No. 4 in the European Boys 16 and Under singles rankings. McDermott said Stavropoulos will bring tremendous international experience to the Husker program, despite his relative youth.
"He is a very athletic and could easily be a swimmer or skier, but has chosen tennis to be his primary sport in college," McDermott said. "We are excited as coaches to bring him to an even higher level with his tennis. I love his attitude toward hard work and wanting to improve. We have no doubt his attitude can only rub off onto his teammates, and continue to move our program forward in the Big Ten and nationally."

A usually busy time for the Oak Ridge basketball teams, the Christmas holiday has signaled much more than just tournaments and practices to gear up for the rest of the upcoming season.
A usually busy time for the Oak Ridge basketball teams, the Christmas holiday has signaled much more than just tournaments and practices to gear up for the rest of the upcoming season.
For the past two years, the Wildcats and Lady Wildcats have spent one afternoon helping some of the younger and less fortunate of Oak Ridge have a better holiday season with their program Christmas Memories.
The program asks for donations to make children's Christmas morning a little brighter as the Oak Ridge High School players help Oak Ridge youth pick out gifts at Walmart. This year's goal is to reach $5,000 so that 50 kids can have $100 each to spend.
"It's not all about us," said boys coach Aaron Green, who started the event two years ago. "There are kids out there that are struggling. There are people out there that don't have it as well as you do."
In the first year, it was only a handful of children but each year it has grown to incorporate more.
"All of us take for granted a lot of things," Green said. "To me it's about putting others first and there's no better time than Christmas. If we can put smiles on 20, 40 or 50 kids faces this Christmas, it makes it worthwhile."
Green said they are not yet halfway to their goal but donations are still being taken. Any amount is appreciated and 100 percent of the donation goes toward the kids.
"Especially here in Oak Ridge, this is a great community that takes pride in its athletics and this is our chance to give back," Green said.
To give a donation, contact boys coaches Jeremy Carringer or Aaron Green to make a donation at firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com, or call (865) 425-9528.
Robert Holder can be contacted at (865) 220-5508.

The world of video games has a long history of damsels in distress. It's the go-to framework for endless heroic adventures where fabulous male heroes journey to save [insert female captured by villain here].
One of the earliest of these is the classic tale of a plucky, mustachioed plumber on a vertical, girder-climbing quest to save his lady Pauline from the barrel-throwing primate Donkey Kong. It was the game that would set the stage for a long series of Mario adventures where his princess would continue to be captured and wind up "in another castle."
After being introduced to the game, Mike Mika's 3-year-old daughter, Ellis, asked why she couldn't "play as the girl" and rescue Mario instead. (She'd recently played Super Mario Bros. 2, where you could play as Princess Toadstool). She was disappointed to find that she couldn't.
"So I had to tell her, 'This game doesn't let you do that,'" Mika told All Things Considered. "She was actually bummed out by it."
As a dad, Mika says, he gets the sort of impossible requests often asked by children (like going to the moon to eat cheese, for example). But this time, he realized he had the power to make it happen.
"A light went off," he says. "It's like, 'This I can do. I know I can do this. I have the tools, I have the power.' This is the one thing probably I'll ever be able to do that's outrageous."
So Mika, a game designer by trade and chief creative officer at Other Ocean Interactive, set out to flip the script on the game and make it happen. He spent a furious night of hacking through the game's code and swapping out all of the Mario graphical sprites and color palettes for new ones of Pauline.
"Once I started going, it was like when you pull a string out of a sweater, one thing led to another and another, and it was just really exciting," he says.
He posted his progress on Facebook and YouTube to share with friends. Soon the project found its way to social-sharing site Reddit, where it went viral and earned Mika several superlatives across the Internet including "feminist hero dad" and "dad of the year."
The end result, he writes in Wired, was met with a lot of excitement from his daughter.
"She was excited! But for all she knew, I just figured out how to get Pauline to work. And that was fine. I wasn't expecting it to change her life. We played for a bit. And some more. And again later. You know what? She really did seem to enjoy the game more. For whatever reason, she was more motivated to play as Pauline than as Mario. I can't read into that too much, because it does feel a bit like a new game to her still. So we'll see how she does after a week with it."
This isn't the first time someone has done something like this, though the first time with such a classic game. Last year, Mike Hoye re-scripted a Zelda game to make the hero a girl for his daughter as well.
This story, and ones like it, are becoming part of a larger conversation about gender roles and feminism in the multibillion-dollar video game industry. It's something media critic Anita Sarkeesian is exploring in her recent video series Feminist Frequency.
Mika, however, says he didn't set out to push any sort of feminist agenda or statement. He writes that he simply wanted to "keep that little grin lit up on my daughter's face every time we sit down to play games together."
This also isn't the first time Mika has used his programming skills for the ladies in his life. According to comments from friends on Reddit, Mika also apparently proposed to his wife by hiding a secret code in a game he was working on at the time.
In the classic arcade game, "Donkey Kong," Mario dodges fireballs and climbs ladders to save damsel in distress, Pauline.
BLOCK: But video game developer Mike Mika's three-year-old daughter, Ellis, wanted to play it the other way around, where Pauline would rescue Mario.
MIKE MIKA: She goes right out of the - right out of the gate was like: I want to play the girl.
That's Mika, chief creative officer at the game company Other Ocean Interactive. He's been in the industry for more than 20 years and has worked on games from the Atari 2600 to the X-Box 360. But this latest project was on a smaller and more personal scale.
BLOCK: It started when he had to explain to his daughter why she couldn't play the heroine in one of his favorite old games.
MIKA: I had to kind of tell her that this game doesn't let you do that. And she was actually bummed out by it. And it was totally a weird moment because I'm like, well, she really is bummed by this. And she likes "Donkey Kong" more than the other game because she can actually play it.
BLOCK: But the idea stuck with him. So the next night, he started tinkering with the system.
MIKA: And once I started going, it was almost like when you pull a string out of a sweater, one thing led to another and another. And it was just really exciting. And as I started doing it, I'm like, Oh, I should put this on Facebook so my friends can see what I'm doing 'cause they'll like it.
CORNISH: By morning, Mika had Pauline jumping barrels and climbing ladders on her way to save Mario from the giant ape. One of his friends posted a screen grab of his modified "Donkey Kong" to Reddit. It quickly went viral; more than 600,000 views on YouTube and more than 1,000 comments.
BLOCK: The video has ignited a gender-role debate. But Mika says he didn't hack "Donkey Kong" to make a statement. He just wanted to do something special for his daughter.
MIKA: I wish I had a camera because when she saw that she could play Pauline, like, it was a quick glance and a big smile and then it's like, OK, that worked.
BLOCK: A tough question from his three-year-old daughter, answered by hacking "Donkey Kong."
MIKA: For me, it's like I'll be asked probably so many times, and I have been, of things that are just impossible, like, No, we can't go to the Moon tonight to eat cheese or - those sorts of things. But when she asked like, Hey, can I play the girl on "Donkey Kong?" It's something that, like a light went off. It's like, this I can do. I know I can do this. I have the tools. I have the power.
MIKA: This is something - the one thing probably I'll ever be able to do that's outrageous, it will be this one.
BLOCK: And for Mike Mika, that was worth all the points. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Huskers Grab Academic All-Conference Honors
The Huskers show that they can get the job done both on and off the court. Six of the eight players on the Nebraska women's tennis team earned Academic All-Big Ten accolades for the 2013 season. The players who received the honors are seniors Patricia Veresova, Mary Weatherholt, Janine Weinreich, and Stefanie Weinstein, along with junior Maike Zeppernicka and sophomore Izabella Zgierska.
Veresova is a senior business administration major from Piestany, Slovakia who snatched her second straight Academic All-Big Ten and third conference honor after earning First-Team Academic All-Big 12 in 2011.
Weinstein is a senior business administration major from Much, Germany who just graduated and earned her degree in May of 2013. This is her third Academic All-Conference accolade receiving her second straight from the Big Ten and one from the Big 12 in 2011.
Weinreich is a senior international business management and marketing major from Tespe, Germany who also graduated to earn her degree this spring. She snags her second Academic All-Big Ten and her third Academic All-Conference honor including one from the Big 12 in 2011.
Weatherholt, a senior native of Prairie Village, Kan., is a graduate student during her final season of Nebraska women's tennis after graduating in 2012 with business administration degree. She also has three Academic All-Conference honors with two from the Big Ten and one from the Big 12. Weatherholt also earned the Nebraska Female Student Athlete of the Year award for 2013, the National ITA Cissie Leary Sportsmanship award, her third consecutive Nebraska Student-Athlete HERO Leadership award, and Big Ten Women's Tennis Athlete of the Year for her second straight season before becoming the 2013 NCAA Singles Championship runner-up for 2013 losing to the defending champion Nicole Gibbs of Stanford. Weatherholt became the first ever singles All-American in program history and teamed with Veresova to be the second duo for Nebraska to become All-Americans in doubles.
Zeppernick is a junior business administration major from Hamburg, Germany receiving her second consecutive Academic All-Big Ten.
Zgierska is a sophomore international business major from Miesbach, Germany earning her first Academic All-Big Ten honors after being a freshman last season deeming her ineligible for the award.
All of these players received Academic All-Big Ten in 2012 except Izabella Zgierska who was a freshman at the time. This isn't the only award the Huskers have grabbed due to their performance in the lecture halls as they received the Nebraska Herman Award earlier in the spring. The Herman goes to one men's and one women's team with the highest average GPA among all sports of both genders. This marks the third year straight that the women's tennis squad has won the Herman and had the majority of their team qualify for Academic All-Conference.
To be eligible for Academic All-Big Ten selection, student-athletes must be letterwinners who are in at least their second academic year at their institution and carry a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher.
The conference office will also present the Distinguished Scholar Award in July. Student-athletes eligible for the Distinguished Scholar Award must be letterwinners in at least their second year in residence at their institution. Qualifying student-athletes must have earned a GPA of 3.7 or higher for the current academic year, excluding summer school. The Big Ten Distinguished Scholar Award was established by conference Faculty Representatives as an addition to the conference's Academic All-Big Ten program.

Underestimating NH: Gun control picks two wrong targets
National gun control groups that are focusing unprecedented pressure on U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte are greatly underestimating not just the New Hampshire senator but also the great majority of New Hampshire people. Sen. Ayotte is not easily intimidated, and Granite Staters don't like their intelligence insulted.
The simple fact is that virtually no change to gun laws would have stopped the insane teenager who wreaked havoc at the Newtown, Conn., elementary school. Ayotte's focus on strengthening our mental health support system is a much more practical response to such incidents, rare though they are.
The gun control lobby is at its most cynical when it pushes forward still-grieving Newtown families to insist that an amendment to background checks of gun purchasers would have made any difference in that terrible incident.
Sen. Ayotte has been at her best in how she has dealt with this tactic, showing compassion and patience with the understandably inconsolable families, but not retreating an inch from her principled stand on the issues involved.
But it is Ayotte's constituents who should not be taken so lightly by Big Government Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his deep-pocketed machine.
A single poll's number showing general support for unspecified "stronger" background checks does not mean that most constituents disagree with Sen. Ayotte's position. They are much more likely to consider her reasoning and, as a result, support her. And they are equally as likely to resent some outside outfit trying to tell them what they should think about their senator.

TUSCALOOSA | More than 3,800 tree seedlings will be given away in this year's annual tree giveaway by the city of Tuscaloosa's Tree Commission.
TUSCALOOSA | More than 3,800 tree seedlings will be given away in this year's annual tree giveaway by the city of Tuscaloosa's Tree Commission.
The commission, together with the Alabama Power Service Organization and the Druid City Canopy Coalition, will have several varieties available. Among them are Southern sugar maple, crape myrtle, dogwood, southern magnolia, white oak, live oak, redbud and dahoon holly.
The giveaway is planned for 8 a.m. Feb. 23 at the Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation Museum, 1901 Jack Warner Parkway.
"We usually have a pretty good turnout, so people need to show up early," said Eric Thompson, a senior planner for the city's Department of Planning and Development Services who now oversees the Tree Commission. "They go really fast."
Limits on the number of trees each resident can have will be imposed at the start of the giveaway, but these could be relaxed if some varieties become more popular than others.
Thompson suggests that the trees be planted in a pot, allowing them to grow larger before putting them in the ground.
"Then they can plant them in their yard to replace the trees that were lost in the tornado," said Thompson, who authored the city's landscape ordinance.
Larger trees will be available upon request from the Druid City Canopy Coalition, which will have representatives on-site during the giveaway to provide more details on these particular varieties.
Thompson said the coalition has been growing some donated trees in a dedicated nursery at the University of Alabama's Arboretum off Loop Road and that these trees can be picked up by appointment.
Recipients of these trees will have to arrange their own transportation, Thompson said.

Help & Advice
BTU Radiator Calculator
Our BTU (British Thermal Units) calculator will help you to work out the heat requirement for your room, and recommend the number of radiators you will need to comfortably heat it.
What is a BTU?
A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is a measure of heat output from a radiator. Depending on the size of your room, the number and type of windows and what the room is used for, you'll need more or less heat. If you have a higher BTU requirement, it might be better to use more than one radiator to deliver the heat you'll need to a room. The total BTU output of several smaller radiators may meet your needs.
How do I choose the right radiator?
The BTU value of all our radiators is clearly labelled in-store and online, helping you find those which suit your requirements.

Questions keep coming in Bedford after home invasion
"When the Quesadas arrived at their residence, they were confronted and assaulted by a male, approximately six feet tall or taller, which we now have reason to believe was dark-skinned," Police Chief John Bryfonski told the crowd at Bedford High School. "We don't have information with respect to ethnicity."
Dr. Eduardo Quesada, 52, a Manchester anesthesiologist/pain doctor and his wife, Sonia, both were injured, he more severely.
Bryfonski didn't rule out the possibility that the incident was connected with Quesada being an anesthesiologist, or that there was more than one assailant at the 7 Proclamation Court home.
Though he refused to provide details of the investigation - which involved local and state police as well as the DEA and FBI - Bryfonski detailed for residents what occurred the night of the attack.
At 10:10 p.m., Bedford police received a 911 call from a neighbor of the Quesada residence concerning Sonia Quesada, who had appeared at the neighbor's house and reported a burglary in progress with injury to the victims.
While Mrs. Quesada was being transported to the hospital, Bryfonski said it took at least 30 minutes before a tactical team entered the residence and found Dr. Quesada in critical condition. State Police removed Dr. Quesada and the couple's 2-year-old daughter, who was unharmed.
Several residents asked the chief why it took so long for police to enter the home.
Bryfonski said the house is larger than ordinary and sits on more than two acres. He said recent training of the Bedford Police by the State Police Tactical Team allowed a quicker response.
"Had they not had that training, we would've probably had to wait hours to be able to assemble a SWAT team," from other departments, the Bryfonski said.
After the meeting, the police chief took questions from the media.
"Folks may criticize how long it may have taken, but in talking with both our personnel and state police personnel, it was conducted with all speed and due diligence," Bryfonski said
Quesada was transferred from Manchester's Elliot Hospital to a Massachusetts hospital a couple of days after the attack; Bryfonski said his condition is improving. Sonia Quesada was released from Elliot after several days of treatment.
One resident asked Bryfonski to explain the law surrounding the use of deadly force by a civilian against someone breaking into their home. The chief declined to answer, advising the man to study the law.
He advised residents to be on guard, use alarm systems, install motion detectors facing wooded areas, and call 911, no matter how trivial the case might seem.
"If you see something, say something," he said.
Meanwhile, police said 25 residents have sought concealed weapons permits since the Quesada home invasion. In total, Bedford has about 1,045 residents with such permits. A local permit is not needed to purchase or own a weapon, only to conceal it.
"I would attribute it a little to (the Quesada assault). When something like this happens, people get a little edgy," Capt. Daniel Douidi said Thursday afternoon, before the community forum.
Bryfonski said he is confident there will be an arrest in the case.
"I'm confident that we will identify, arrest and successfully prosecute the person or persons responsible for this crime," Bryfonski said.

It's no longer enough for hospitals to just send a bill to Medicare and get paid.
The nation's biggest insurer is starting to dole out bonuses and penalties to nearly 3,000 hospitals as it ties almost $1 billion in payments to the quality of care provided to patients.
In what amounts to a nationwide competition, Medicare compared hospitals on how faithfully they followed basic standards of care and how patients rated their experiences. Medicare disclosed on Thursday how individual hospitals will fare when the program, created by the federal health law, begins in January.
In many parts of the country, the hospitals that did the best are not the ones with the most outsize reputations, but regional and community hospitals instead. New York-Presbyterian in Manhattan and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, both dominant hospitals in their cities, will have their payments reduced.
Other leading names in the hospital industry, including the Cleveland Clinic and Intermountain Medical Center in Utah, will receive bonuses, although not the largest in their regions.
The biggest bonus is going to Treasure Valley Hospital, a physician-owned, 10-bed hospital in Boise, Idaho, that is getting a 0.83 percent increase in payment for each Medicare patient, the records show. Auburn Community Hospital, a nonprofit near Syracuse in upstate New York, is facing the biggest cut, losing 0.9 percent of every payment for Medicare patients.
"We know we started off at the bottom, but we are going to work our way to much more acceptable scores," said Thomas Filiak, Auburn's chief operating officer. The hospital has already replaced the squeaky wheels on its food carts, which led many patients to note loud noise during their stays, and focused teams of doctors and nurses on improving other areas on which the hospital is evaluated.
In all, Medicare is rewarding 1,557 hospitals with more money and reducing payments to 1,427 others, according to a Kaiser Health News analysis of the records. Most hospitals are seeing far smaller changes than Treasure Valley or Auburn. For many, the bonus or penalty is little more than a rounding error on their bottom lines.
It's not clear that the new payment program will significantly improve hospitals. Some studies of similar incentive programs have found that the improvements ended up not being any better than those of hospitals that weren't prodded financially. Nonetheless, the program is here to stay and is going to expand over the next few years, putting more money into play and adding new quality measures, including patient death rates.
Kaiser Health News is an editorially independent program of the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit, nonpartisan health policy research and communication organization not affiliated with Kaiser Permanente.
And let's go now to a big change in the nation's health care. Starting in January, about half of the hospitals in America are going to see their payments from Medicare go down. That's because the care they offer is getting a low grade.
The other half of American hospitals will see their payments rise because they're meeting new standards. This is all according to the new federal health care law.
GREENE: The change affects the cash flow at countless hospitals, and this is the subject of today's business bottom line.
INSKEEP: Reporter Jordan Rau with Kaiser Health News has analyzed the data that Medicare just released on its hospital payments. He's with us.
Welcome to the program.
JORDAN RAU: Thanks for having me.
INSKEEP: OK. So what's Medicare trying to do?
RAU: Well, one thing that they're trying to do is actually get hospitals to do a better job. Right now, if you go in and get a knee surgery, they'll pay you the same amount whether they make a perfect knee or put a spatula in. And so they're trying to do that. And then down the line, this is part of the overhaul of the system. They're trying to get away from paying for every single thing. But in order to do that, you want to be able to track how good a job hospitals are doing.
INSKEEP: This is reminding me a little bit of the No Child Left Behind education law from years ago, where the top half of schools were going to get all kinds of benefits and the bottom half were going to be penalized.
RAU: Yeah. It has a lot of parallels to that. It's a lot less money. Initially, just 1 percent of Medicare payments are in play. But there are a lot of concerns, in fact, about this, that some of the hospitals that have less money to make improvements will keep on doing worse and worse, and the other hospitals will do better and better, and the gap will widen.
INSKEEP: Well, help me understand this. How do you determine whether a hospital is doing well with its patients or not?
RAU: Right now, they have some very rudimentary metrics, and they use two things. One are called process metrics, and this is literally just did you do a certain obviously right thing, like give a patient an antibiotic right before a surgery.
The second one is that they give - hospitals have been, for a long time, giving surveys to patients after they leave and asking them questions like: Did your doctor or nurse communicate well? Did you get the medications and were they explained to you? Was your room quiet and clean? And they're using those. And then they're compiling them all and rating all the hospitals against each other and in how much they improved over time.
INSKEEP: Customer satisfaction surveys, in effect.
RAU: Yeah, that's exactly right.
INSKEEP: So are we talking about a lot of money - many, many millions of dollars - that hospital could gain or lose here?
RAU: Initially, it's a total of about a billion dollars, but it's only about 1 percent of their Medicare payments. It's not that much. But over the course of several years, they're going to rise it incrementally, and they're also adding in other performance-based measures, like how many patients are readmitted. And if too many are readmitted, hospitals lose money.
So by the time that they're done with this and by the time that private insurers follow suit, a sizable amount of money is going to be affected by quality.
INSKEEP: Enough that even a really big hospital with a lot of income is really going to care.
RAU: Oh, yeah. They care now.
INSKEEP: Okay. So you're getting a look at which hospitals Medicare's going to pay a little bit more, which hospitals Medicare's going to penalize and pay a little bit less. Do you see any trends?
RAU: Well, one of the interesting things is that the hospitals that are the big names and that, you know, people love to send their people to don't necessarily do the best. For instance, in New York City, New York Presbyterian is losing money. In Los Angeles, Cedar Sinai is pretty much breaking even. So the big winners, some of them are very obscure. I mean, the biggest winner is a hospital in Boise, Idaho called Treasure Valley.
INSKEEP: Treasure Valley?
RAU: Treasure Valley. It's a 10-bed hospital.
INSKEEP: Okay. I guess they're doing very well on patient satisfaction. Is that what that means?
RAU: That actually is one of them. They actually send notes to their patients thanking them after they come in.
INSKEEP: I'm curious, though, if you're going to end up with the same kinds of complaints that people had about No Child Left Behind in education, that the schools that take on the tough kids end up having a tougher time getting good results, or hospitals that take on the tough cases or the big urban hospitals are going end up being penalized here.
RAU: There's some concern about that, particularly about the patient satisfaction surveys. And there's been some research that found that if you take a patient and keep him in the hospital for a long time and if they're depressed - which often goes along with very sick illnesses - then they're more likely to say, eh, I didn't have such a great time in that hospital. But Medicare is adjusting some of these to take some of that into account.
INSKEEP: Are hospitals doing anything to get their scores up?
RAU: Yes. They're doing a lot on the patient satisfaction side. Hospitals are scripting doctors now and nurses on what to say to patients. For instance, if you're in maternity care and you're moving off, the nurse might say, oh, you're going to nurse so and so. Well, she's a wonderful nurse. You're so lucky to have her.
Auburn Community Hospital in upstate New York has replaced the squeaky wheels on their food carts, because their scores are very low when patients are asked: How noisy was your room?
INSKEEP: So changing the old saying, the squeaky wheel gets less money.
RAU: Exactly.
INSKEEP: Okay. Thanks, very much. That's Jordan Rau of Kaiser Health News. Thanks for coming by.
RAU: Thank you.
INSKEEP: He brings us today's business bottom line. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

Buxton Wasp Control
If you find a wasps nest, never approach or disturb the wasps as they will attack to defend their nest. A&B Wasp Control Buxton are extremely professional and trained in the most advanced and safe methods of wasp nest removal. You can contact us day or night and we will have one of our wasp experts to your door within 90 minutes* wherever you are in Buxton and the local area.
If you are experiencing high numbers of wasps in your home or garden it is likely that there is a wasp nest nearby. The risk from wasps is particularly high towards the end of summer – it is preferable to treat a wasp nest in Buxton earlier in the year before wasps become more aggressive. However our locally based pest controllers covering Buxton have all the necessary equipment to tackle wasp infestations all year round.
Wasps are likely to form a nest over doorways, in lofts/attics, voids in walls, ceilings and in trees in Buxton. There can be thousands of wasps in one nest over the course of a year.

Epping official: Remains at cemetery undisturbedBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
July 15. 2013 9:19PM
EPPING — The remains of bodies buried at an old family cemetery tucked away in the woods off of Dimond Hill Road have not been disturbed or removed, a cemetery official said.
After researching concerns about the condition of the Dow Cemetery, Jerry Langdon, chairman of the town's cemetery trustees, told selectmen last week that no bodies have been touched.Langdon began researching when concerns about the cemetery were raised by some residents and town officials after it appeared the cemetery had been dug up in spots.
The property owners, brothers Jerry and James Thayer, told selectmen last month they have been trying to clean up the debris from pine trees that fell during storms. An excavator was used to remove stumps.
Concerns about what appeared to be open gravesites were brought to the attention of selectmen and the state Attorney General's Office.
Langdon told selectmen last month that he didn't believe any of the grave sites had been disturbed, but he conducted further research over the past month to confirm his belief.
Langdon also researched whether headstones were removed after two stones were found sitting on the ground outside the Leddy Cemetery and crypt several miles away.
"Monuments haven't been removed at least in the last 25 years. It had nothing to do with the Thayers owning that property," Langdon said last week.
Langdon consulted with local historians and learned that the two stones found at the Leddy Cemetery belonging to John and Harriet Dow, who died in the 1800s, were there as far back as 1992.
But it's unclear where those stones belong and how they ended up at the Leddy Cemetery. The Thayers have said they believe the Dows are buried in the cemetery along Dimond Hill Road, but Langdon said last week that the town has no documentation of who is buried there.
Langdon said the Thayers could seek guidance from the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources to determine where the headstones belong and how they should be brought back to the Dow Cemetery if that's where John and Harriet Dow are, in fact, buried.
In the meantime, Langdon said that under state law the Thayers must still submit a letter to the board of selectmen asking permission to maintain the cemetery on their property. They have agreed not to continue their cleanup work until they've been given formal permission.

Healing & division: Obama on Zimmerman
July 15. 2013 6:45PM
Shortly after George Zimmerman was found not guilty of second-degree murder or manslaughter in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, President Obama released a statement in which he said "we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son."
Those words from America's first black President effectively marginalized any other black leader who might have urged riots or vigilante justice. Obama deserves credit for his call for respect and reflection.
Of course he could not leave it at that. He had to politicize the trial — again — this time by connecting it to his push for gun control. Moreover, the U.S. Justice Department continues to pursue a possible civil rights case against Zimmerman, contradicting the President's admonition to respect the jury verdict.
The killing of Trayvon Martin was a tragic event that never should have happened. Zimmerman should have listened to the police. He is free because the state failed to prove its case against him beyond a reasonable doubt. Whether that is justice is a matter of debate, but it was the correct application of the law.
Pursuing a federal civil rights case against Zimmerman would further undermine trust in our justice system by making clear that jury trials are merely preliminary rounds in legal contests between parties of different racial backgrounds, and that the real final say is to be had in Washington by whichever party has friends in the administration.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Cardinals put right-hander Jake Westbrook on the 15-day disabled list with elbow inflammation and plan to select the contract of left-hander John Gast in time for Tuesday night's game against the New York Mets.
To make room for Gast on the major league roster, the team said Sunday that injured closer Jason Motte will be moved to the 60-day disabled list while rehabilitating from reconstructive elbow surgery.
Westbrook is 2-1 with a 1.62 ERA in seven starts. His DL move was retroactive to May 9.
Gast was the team's minor league player of the month in April, going 3-1 with a 1.16 ERA in six starts at Triple-A Memphis. He began the season with 32 consecutive scoreless innings.

Financial analyst Charles Sizemore predicts that over time, a persistent Microsoft will come to not only thrive but dominate in the mobile computing space, because Apple has no "moats" to prevent customer attrition and its insistence at heavily controlling the ecosystem will drive customers away, while Google's offerings are too "shoddy." It's a bold prediction, but I suppose betting on Microsoft to be persistent and build on its strengths is a safe bet. But will persistence and flexibility be enough?

The last-minute deal by Congress to avoid the fiscal cliff contains a new option for workers saving for retirement.
The budget legislation allows 401(k) participants to convert any amount of money in their plan to a Roth 401(k), if such a plan is offered by their employer. The money, taxed at the time of conversion, can then be withdrawn tax-free at the time of retirement. The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates $12 billion in revenue will be raised by 2022 as a result.
Bloomberg reports the conversion opportunity "can benefit people with significant balances, the up-front money to pay taxes now with funds outside their retirement account and years of tax-free earnings ahead of them or their heirs. Conversions to Roth 401(k)s had been limited to certain funds and to plans that allowed the switches. The law opens the opportunity to more workers who hold $5 trillion in employer-sponsored defined contribution plans including 401(k)s."
Michael Kitces, director of financial planning with Pinnacle Advisory Group in Columbia, Md, and AdvisorOne contributor, wrote in his blog on Jan. 1, "The reason this provision is notable is that, under current law, you can only convert a 401(k) plan if you are eligible to take a distribution from the plan (whether it's going to a Roth 401(k) or Roth IRA), which generally means you have to be 59 1/2, dead, disabled, or separated from service, unless the plan allows in-service withdrawals.
"The new ATRA provision will allow an intra-plan Roth conversion, regardless of whether you're eligible for a distribution out of the plan (the way you would have to be to get to a Roth IRA). Notably, the rules appear to allow the new intra-plan Roth conversions for 401(k), 403(b), and 457 plans."
Basically, he continues, the new rule simply means a plan participant can now do intra-plan 401(k) (or 403(b) or 457 plan) conversions from traditional to Roth in the same manner you can do so for IRAs.
"But you still can't go from a 401(k) (or other employer retirement plan) to the IRA unless you're otherwise eligible for a distribution from the retirement plan," he cautions. "In theory, the increased flexibility for Roth conversions means more (current workers) will convert their existing 401(k) and other employer retirement plans, which provides a short-term revenue increase for the Federal government (thus, this new rule was actually scored as a 'revenue raiser' in measuring the fiscal impact of the provision). Of course, as I've written in the past, whether completing a Roth conversion (inside a 401(k) or with an IRA) is a good deal or not depends on several individual-specific factors."
Bloomberg notes that Americans held $5 trillion in defined contribution plans as of Sept. 30, including $3.5 trillion in 401(k)s, according to the Washington-based Investment Company Institute.
"We absolutely see this as a positive," says Judy Miller, ASPPA's director of retirement policy. "We lobbied for in-plan transfers for amounts that are distributable, so this was a pleasant surprise and we can now strike it from the list for this year. We felt it was always important to level the playing field between IRAs and 401(k)s. This is especially true when to comes to small businesses, who often would have to terminate the plan to get at that money."
In addition to small businesses, Miller says the legislation will benefit a wide array of workers, but they would have to be able to handle the tax burden in the year they convert. Since there would be little or no tax liability for workers who are just beginning to save, they would benefit, on particular.

The Indian River boys' soccer team has completed one of the finest seasons in the program's history with a 17-2 record overall, a dozen shutouts, second place in the state tournament and wonderful memories.
The Indian River boys' soccer team has completed one of the finest seasons in the program's history with a 17-2 record overall, a dozen shutouts, second place in the state tournament and wonderful memories. The Indian's only two losses were against a powerful Salesianum squad, who won the championship for the second straight year.
After the championship game, coach Steve Kilby stated how proud he was of his young team. "We gave a great effort all season long, we played well, and again I could not be more proud of this group of players," he said.
The old adage about defense winning championships can be readily seen if you followed the Indians this season. Right from the start, the team played solid, hard-nosed defense, shutting out their first three opponents in wins over Milford, Sussex Tech, and Woodbridge, a great feat at any level. After defeating Cape Henlopen 2-1, the team proceeded to shut out Smyrna and Lake Forest to run the record to 6-0.
After a few close games, the defense clamped down again with four more shutouts in their next five games.
At this point in the season, the team was playing superb soccer, with the great defense and goal keeping of junior Samuel Cannon and freshman Ian Walls, there was a special feeling about this team and this season. In addition the offense was playing very well, control games and coming up with important goals as the situations warranted. This was a team on a mission!
The offense turned in incredible performances defeating Lake Forest 9-0, and beating Laurel 7-0 in the regular season. The scoring was led by freshman Luis Cruz, junior Samuel Izzo and junior Julio Garzaa.
Once the DIAA tournament began, the team remained in high gear, beating McKean 2-0, edging Appoquinimink 1-0 and upsetting St. George's Tech 3-0 on a cold and blustery Saturday afternoon.
Unfortunately, the Indians fell to Salesianum 4-0 in the championship game at Smyrna High School on November 20th in a very well played game. Sals' coach Scott Mosier said the Indians gave his team everything and more that they could handle, and credited IR's great defense for keeping them in the contest until late in the game. "We also felt that if they had scored first (that night) then they probably would have taken home the championship trophy, they played that well on defense," he said.
Watch for the 2013 edition of the Indians. The team may well make another title run next year as the 2012 team featured plenty of sophomore and juniors, as well as two talented freshmen in Walls and midfielder Carlos Alvarez.

Manchester School of Technology to offer firefighter certification
By DOUG ALDEN
New Hampshire Union Leader
MANCHESTER - Manchester School of Technology is planning to add firefighter certification for students enrolled in the school's public safety program.
School officials have been working with the Manchester Fire Department for about a year to design a curriculum that would give students who successfully complete the program state Firefighter I certification.
Lt. Leo Roy, who would coordinate the program with the New Hampshire Fire Academy, said the course is a natural fit.
MST's public safety department already offers coursework in policing, criminology and forensics.
"It fit into their curriculum perfectly," Roy said. "It's designed more to making it easier for those who truly know at the high school level that they want to go this route. It just makes that pathway for them a little easier to obtain."
Principal Karen White said Molly Dobmeier, who oversees public safety at MST, has been coordinating with Roy to set up the program and do the necessary planning and documentation to get it in line for approval.
"She has been working on this - after school, at night - for probably the last year," White said. "She's such a huge advocate for students."
MST will present the plan on Wednesday to school board's Curriculum and Instruction Committee, which will decide whether to send it to the full board for a vote. The state Board of Education would then need to approve it in order for MST to offer the course starting in the 2013-14 school year.
The course would feature a wide range of subjects including fire behavior, suppression methods, first aid, hoses and nozzles, ventilation and radio communications.
"Public safety can be many, many things. We try to find as many ways as possible to interest students," White said. "We try to get them to find their own interests and pathways and provide as much in that foundation as possible. This is one of the ways we're going to do that."
The certification would take one semester for students already enrolled in MST's public safety program. It would require much more time than other classes because of the material involved, as well as off-campus training.
"If we don't have the support of the fire department then this isn't going to be possible," White said.
Interested applicants will go through an interview, when they will be fully informed what is involved physically and the time required.
"It's going to be probably under 20 students," White said. "They are going to have to be very dedicated to want to be in this."
Roy, who is also the training director for Young Rescuers USA and works with other youth firefighting organizations, said the certification course would be a great addition to the career-oriented programs at MST.
"I've been trying to get this going for a number of years," Roy said. "I think we can put together an incredibly dynamic program."

Detailed by Torrentfreak earlier this week, the site worked with Scaneye to monitor BitTorrent files being shared within movie studios as well as various government agencies domestic and abroad. Scaneye keeps track of all multimedia content being shared from a specific IP address and can identify the physical location of the file sharer as well as the organization sharing each file. According to the records, employees at Paramount Pictures, Warner Brothers, Sony Pictures, 20th Century Fox and Walt Disney were spotted downloading illegal copies of movies, television shows and video games over BitTorrent.
Popular movies that were downloaded by Hollywood studio employees included The Hunger Games, Happy Feet 2, The Expendables 2, Ice Age: Continental Drift, Step Up Revolution, Jeff, Who Lives at Home and Fast and Furious 6.
Regarding television shows, programs like Sons of Anarchy, NCIS, Top Chef, Rizzoli & Isles, 90210, Survivor, Person of Interest and Downton Abbey were included on the list. Beyond that content, an employee at 20th Century Fox attempted to download an illegal copy of Ubisoft's Hollywood Squares for the PC.
Besides major Hollywood Studios, Scaneye records also noted illegal downloads occurring at major record labels such as Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group as well as government agencies including the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security and Army Air Force Exchange Services. In addition, the records indicate that a few BitTorrent downloads occurred within the U.S. House of Representatives.
Illegally downloaded movies on those records included The Bourne Legacy, Finding Nemo 3D, House at the End of the Street and The Possession. The list of television shows included Army Wives, Gossip Girl, The Cleveland Show, Suits, The Voice, The Talking Dead and HBO's Game of Thrones. In addition, an employee at Sony Music Entertainment attempted to illegally download Activision's Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions for the Xbox 360.
Comprised of the major Hollywood studios, the MPAA was instrumental in setting up the six strike rule within the Copyright Alert system. Expected to roll out to all major Internet Service providers by the end of the year, the six strike system sends the account owner a warning the first couple times they are caught downloading an illegal file.
If the behavior continues, the ISP may start throttling data speeds or blocking specific sites that host illegal content. The user may have to watch an educational video to regain full access to their account. In the most severe cases, the ISP could cut off the user completely.
According to the Scaneye records, the movie studios and government agencies included on these lists have clearly racked up enough infractions to warrant mandatory educational videos for employees as well as data speed throttling. However, the owner of the content must initiate a copyright infringement action against the subscriber. For instance, Lionsgate could send a copyright infringement action to Paramount Pictures for illegally downloading the ripped DVD copy of The Hunger Games. For illegally downloaded movies already owned by the studio, it's unlikely that a copyright infringement action would be sent to the studio unless the process is automated.

Ridgecrest Police officers arrested two people in separate cases on heroin charges.
Ridgecrest Police officers arrested two people in separate cases on heroin charges.
Detectives, in cooperation with Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents, arrested 28-year-old Brock Eric Weisbrich Jan. 30 on charges of possession of a narcotic controlled substance, transportation of a narcotic controlled substance and possession of a narcotic controlled substance for sale.
The arrest concluded a two-month investigation into the sales and transportation of heroin into the city of Ridgecrest.
According to a press release, Ridgecrest Police believe Weisbrich transported and sold heroin in the city. Officers executed a search warrant Jan. 30 on Weisbrich's vehicle and residence.
Sgt. Jed McLaughlin said the police department received information that Weisbrich was selling the drug in the city, but declined to elaborate.
He said detectives and NCIS Agents located and seized Weisbrich's vehicle, approximately $2,300 in cash, a Glock handgun, a Marlin .22-caliber rifle, a Colt M16 .22-caliber rifle, a Russian-made SKS rifle, a Mosin Magnat rifle, a Mosberg shotgun, more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition and approximately 72 grams of suspected Mexican brown heroin with an estimated street value of $7,200.
McLaughlin said NCIS was involved in the case because Weisbrich is a Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake employee, and he was arrested on the base.
In a seperate case, officers arrested Leslie Grindstaff Jan. 31 on charges of possession of a narcotic controlled substance and transportation of a narcotic controlled substance.
She was arrested shortly after 6:30 p.m. at West Bowman Road and South Downs Street after being stopped for a traffic violation.
According to RPD, Officer Bill Groves arrived on scene with his K-9 partner "Lacky" who alerted Groves to the presence of narcotics inside of the vehicle. After a search of the vehicle was conducted, officers seized approximately 12 grams of suspected heroin with a street value of $1,100 from the vehicle. She was arrested and transported to the Ridgecrest Police Department and was later released on a $35,000 bond. Grindstaff is scheduled to appear in Kern County Superior Court Feb. 14.
She is on probation for a previous driving under the influence case.

Police say driver in city crash that injured 3 was drunk, driving after suspension
August 18. 2013 1:58PM
MANCHESTER — A Manchester woman allegedly driving on a suspended license was charged with drunken driving after an accident that injured three people including herself, police said.
About 10:03 p.m. Saturday, a Ford Explorer driven by Lacey Lane, 22, of Manchester, drove into a construction zone on Wellington Road and hit a flatbed trailer parked on the side of the road, according to police.
Joshua Shackelford, 24, of Manchester was taken to Elliot Hospital for treatment of injuries described as serious and life-threatening, passenger, Kristina Longley, 21, of Loudon, was treated at the Elliot for serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Lane suffered only minor injuries, police said, and will be charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, driving after suspension or revocation of her license and reckless conduct. All three charges are felonies.
Police said speed and alcohol may have contributed to the crash.
