NH closes door on private prisonsBy KATHRYN MARCHOCKI
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 03. 2013 10:45PM
State officials formally cancelled the bidding process to privatize state prisons Wednesday because all four vendors who submitted proposals failed to show how they would meet legal requirements to administer prisons and provide inmate services.
The proposals revealed a lack of understanding of the court orders, consent decrees and settlements that govern the operation of the state corrections system, according to the report by the state Department of Administrative Services and Department of Corrections.
Failure to comply with these mandates "could result in significant liability to the state," the report added.
"As a result, the departments determined that it was in the best interest of the state to cancel the solicitation process. The decision to cancel, after having invested so much time and consideration, was not made lightly. Rather, it was a decision based upon an appreciation of the fact that the solicitation did not elicit adequate responses capable of meeting the state's legally prescribed needs," the 15-page report added.
The two agencies issued requests for proposals to construct, operate and potentially privatize state prisons at the direction of the state Legislature in late 2011.
The four vendors submitted a total 17 proposals last year to build and operate prisons. The proposals were for men-only prisons and hybrid prisons that would house men and women. No bids were received for women-only prisons.
"The RFPs (Requests for Proposals) were insufficient to convince us that they would be in compliance with those court orders and mandates," said Mike Connor, director of planning and property management for the Department of Administrative Services.
The state corrections system is governed by a series of court orders, consent decrees and settlements that have evolved since the 1970s, Connor explained.
They include court orders that male and female inmates have equal access to services and programs, and that there be a certain number of medical staff, Connor said. Other orders and decrees mandate minimum staffing levels with required levels of training and certification, he said. The requests for proposals required blueprints of how the prisons would meet these requirements, Connor said.
"There wasn't enough information that would convince us that they would meet those standards. In some instances, they just said they would comply, but they didn't say how they would comply," he said.
Costs analyzed
While the request for proposals did not result in a signed contract, the state agencies believe the process "was far from fruitless," the report said.
An independent consulting firm hired to analyze the proposals, MGT of America Inc., looked at whether privatizing state prisons would result in less total state government spending than if the state managed the current system.
The consultant developed a financial model that assumed state correctional costs over the next 20 years would grow at a 2.5 percent annual inflation rate and will require $79.7 million in capital investments, nearly all of which would go to build a new women's prison and four new male transitional centers.
The consultant found it "difficult, if not impossible, to utilize the received proposals for purposes of comparison with existing and forward-looking correctional costs," the report said. This is because the proposals provided inadequate information about staffing, spacing and how services and programming would be configured, the report said.
The state approved $171,347 last summer to hire MGT of America.
Connor said corrections department staff also participated in the evaluation teams set up to review the proposals against the criteria set down in the RFPs.
"In sum, the consultant's findings echoed those of the state teams in terms of identifying disconnects between the RFP requirement (inclusive of court orders and consent decrees) and the resultant responses," the report said.
The consultant also found "wide variance" in the average per-bed construction cost.
The opposition
A coalition that opposes prison privatization called for the state to pass a bill that would make it illegal to privatize state prisons. House Bill 443 passed the House last month and is now before the Senate.
"This report takes privatization off the table. Now it's time to close the door," said Arnie Alpert, state program coordinator of the American Friends Service Committee, a member of the coalition.
The coalition cited the consultant's finding that for-profit vendors "planned to pay substandard wages that 'may make it difficult to maintain a trained and experienced staff. This could result in high turnover and ultimately impact the safety and security of correctional facilities."
Gov. Maggie Hassan's spokesman said she respects the decision made by the Administrative Services department in conjunction with the Departments of Corrections and Justice.
"The governor opposes allowing private companies to operate New Hampshire's prisons, as the track record of such arrangements in other states has not demonstrated success in terms of protecting taxpayer dollars while maintaining the highest level of public safety, and the lack of clear explanations in bids for how private operators would meet court orders governing corrections speaks to her concerns," spokesman Marc Goldberg said in a statement.
"Moving forward, the governor is focused on building a new women's prison, which we are pursuing through the traditional capital budgeting approach," he added.
Corrections Commissioner William Wrenn could not be reached for comment.

This week marks the halfway point of the Colorado General Assembly's 120-day 2010 session. The state's fiscal woes have dominated the session to this point. The legislature has adopted a package of bills that raised revenues by eliminating a variety of tax exemptions as well as approving a 32-bill package that reduced spending by state agencies for the current fiscal year that ends June 30.

The cross-platform data management app market expands this week as a result of dBase and its eponymously named dBaseAPPs. Designed specifically for non-IT professionals, dBaseAPPs allows users to manage their data (regardless of their platform) and without having to rely on IT.
NOTE: The firm is making dBaseAPPs available on both the Apple and Microsoft platforms — the product is targeted at small to medium sized business users.
"Data is the lifeblood of every company, but many small to mid-size companies lack the IT infrastructure they need to properly manage their data and use it to make informed business decisions," said Mike Rozlog, CEO of dBase.
"Fortunately, successfully managing data doesn't necessarily require sophisticated technical skills. We developed dBaseAPPs specifically to provide professionals of all backgrounds an easy way to access, manage, and leverage their data without having to rely on IT."
The first app in the dBaseAPPs series, dTransfer, enables users to copy data tables between databases via a user interface. By treating database tables like files in a folder, dTransfer copies tables between PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite databases.
"dBaseAPPS is an integral part of the dBase strategy of being theBase for all things data," said Rozlog. "dBaseAPPS defines a new area in data and database management by making data easier to manipulate for just about anyone."

Moving from Energy Efficiency to Carbon Footprint
A version of this article appears in the Climate Solutions Special Issue issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 01, 2008
I have been in the energy efficiency and renewable energy business for almost 30 years, and I am seeing more rapid change now in this industry than ever before. More and more people understand that energy prices are being, and will be, affected by global climate change, and by the long-term availability of fossil fuels, and they are responding by buying more energy-efficient homes, cars, and appliances. And another growing group of people—although they are not necessarily motivated by rising energy prices or by the hope of saving money—want to reduce their environmental impact and are looking to efficiency to do this. Since energy efficiency has evolved over that same 30 years, we now have a product to offer—home performance—that lets people be more comfortable, live in healthier, more durable homes, and help save the planet. Now if we could just install it on the roof where people could see it, like photovoltaic (PV) cells, or make it look trendy and special, like the Prius! A New Type of Customer More and more people are looking for information on doing well by the planet, and there are more and more organizations looking to tell ...

Silver Spring Divorce Help Maryland 20911
No family is perfect, no matter how happy they may appear on the surface. While it is not enjoyable or preferred to be in a domestic situation where you would need to hire counsel to protect your interests, it may be necessary for a myriad of reasons. If you or someone you know is in the middle of a divorce, child custody negotiations, or child abuse charges, then it is imperative that you hire a family lawyer to ensure your best interests are looked after.
Divorce can be a very nasty process depending on how much is at stake and the specific terms of why the marriage is being terminated. Men and women alike are at serious risk of getting taken advantage of if they try to go through the process without counsel or with an unskilled lawyer.
For men, divorce often results in the loss of full custody. Although in most cases they are usually granted partial custody, this amounts to little more than weekends. Their income, if children are involved, primarily goes to their ex-partner in the form of child support payments. A skilled counselor can protect your interests and ensure that the monetary amount of child support is not excessive and fair for both parties.
For women, a skilled family lawyer is a necessity. Child custody is not really an issue as long as the mother is somewhat competent. Courts have a hard time splitting children from their biological mother unless there is clear negligence or exigent circumstances. Women, especially those who devote their time and resources to raise their children, need counsel to secure a fair amount of child support or alimony.
Due to the heated nature of most divorces, it is usually best for the proceedings if the two parties have no contact with each other. Having a skilled advocate that you trust to be your representative in negotiations that you are not a part of is vital. If your divorce requires a mediator, then both of your respective advocates will meet together with the mediator to hash out all of the arrangements that couldn't be agreed upon previously. Having counsel that you can trust is key, because once mediation is agreed upon, both parties are bound by the terms.
While you need a competent lawful specialist to protect your passions in darker times, a family members attorney can additionally be a beneficial asset in happier times as well. They have the legal understanding to assist you in marriage, civil-unions, domestic collaborations, fosterings, and estate as well as retirement planning as well as protection. They have the ability to prepare all the lawful records you will certainly need in these situations consisting of wills, prenuptial arrangements, and adoption papers.
Prior to you aim to go the training course alone, look for a proficient counselor to see how they could help you with any one of the legal situations that might surround your residential circumstance. A good family members attorney could make a big distinction in your life. Figure out more about their solutions prior to it's too late.Divorce Attorney | Cost Of Divorce

KDE Frameworks 5.0 has arrived with over 50 different Frameworks as part of this release. This collection of libraries is now modularized and optimized for easy integration in Qt applications.
As Dr. Dobb's readers will know, KDE Frameworks 5 is a set of libraries and technologies developed in the KDE project over the past 18 years. Most of the frameworks come from the kdelibs module, which has been split and cleaned up; dependencies were straightened and packed into individual libraries. This allows developers and projects outside the KDE ecosystem to make use of these technologies and benefit from work of the KDE Community.
Distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), KDE Frameworks 5.0 updates provide solutions directed at tasks including hardware integration, file format support, additional widgets, plotting functions, spell checking, and so on.
A good proportion of the Frameworks here are cross platform and have minimal (or, at least, no extra dependencies) making them (in theory) easy to build and add to any Qt application.
An important goal of KDE Frameworks 5 is to bring the benefits of KDE technology to Qt5 users outside the KDE Community. Libraries are split into distinct components, making it possible for Qt developers to take components without dragging in other unnecessary libraries.
According to the development team, "The KDE Frameworks represent an effort to rework the KDE Platform 4 libraries into a set of independent, cross platform modules that will be readily available to all Qt developers to simplify, accelerate, and reduce the cost of Qt development."
The Frameworks themselves are cross platform and are described as "well documented and tested," such that usage should be familiar to Qt developers; i.e., they follow the style and standards set by the Qt Project.
Frameworks are developed under the KDE governance model with what is always called a "predictable release schedule" as well as a clear and vendor-neutral contributor process, open governance, and flexible licensing (LGPL).

Designing and building a house enabled me to put into practice many of the building science and engineering concepts and principles that I cover in my courses.
My wife, Susan Choma, and I built our home in Ohio in 2000. I am a college professor, and my teaching responsibilities include engineering technology coursework in the areas of residential mechanical systems and energy-efficient construction. Designing and building the house enabled me to put into practice and observe the results of many of the building science and engineering concepts and principles that I cover in my courses. Our overall goal was to build a home that was comfortable, safe, healthy, durable, quiet, low maintenance, practical, energy efficient, compatible with the site, affordable, and aesthetically appropriate.

Nick Frost, Principal Consultant, ISF
The expectation from the start of 2017 – that we hadn't seen the back of ransomware – was justified. 2017 was plagued with global attacks such as Petya, WannaCry, Bad Rabbit and many others. Unfortunately, 2018 could be even worse.
With ransomware continuously developing new delivery techniques, organisations must learn how to prepare and protect themselves from the threat of ransomware, but how can they do this?
In this webinar, Nick Frost, Principal Consultant at the ISF, will explore the latest threats in ransomware and what organisations can do to minimise vulnerabilities to reduce risks of an attack.
About the presenter:

Cyber security Skills Gap: How modern attack vectors affect the cyber workforce
Jan 25 2018
46 mins
Regine Bonneau
Cybersecurity Skills Are in High Demand, Yet in Short Supply. The growing number of recent cybersecurity attacks highlights a shortage of skilled workforce in the cybersecurity industry, predicted to reach around 1.8 million workers by 2022. These challenges will also be impacted by evolution of IoT/ IoE and Artificial intelligence, which represents an unprecedented opportunity to connect people, processes, data, and things.
Key Takeaways include:
- Is Automation an answer to the skill gap?
- Maintaining security in the face of growing cyber risks and threats
- How the arrival of AI & IoT in both our personal and business lives will create a skills gap that will require both the retooling of people's existing skillsets and the wide-scale hiring of new workers

Hunting the Hunters or Can you cover your cyber tracks to avoid being caught?
Jan 23 2018
35 mins
Patrick Grillo, Senior Director, Security Solutions, Fortinet
While some hackers crave the attention of a high profile attack or data breach, others prefer to work in shadows either trying to hide their tracks or are indifferent all together.
Regardless, accurately understanding where an attack comes from is very helpful in defending against future attacks. More importantly, when companies and key organizations work together it is possible to tie together a multitude of individual footprints into a single, conclusive trail back to the originator.
This session will focus on the importance of attribution and includes a case study of how a major cyber criminal was taken down, from the lowest foot soldier to the kingpin himself.

Peter Wood and Rob Shapland
Cyber risk isn't new, but the stakes grow higher every day. An incident is no longer likely to be an isolated event, but a sustained and persistent campaign. There is no single solution that will offer protection from an attack, but a Cyber Resilience strategy can provide a multi-layered approach that encompasses people, processes and technology.
Pete Wood will talk about eliminating the gap between IT and the business to present a united front against threats. This is a paradigm shift that uses security intelligence to guide decisions and support agility.

Big Data Analytics vs Privacy: Risks and Opportunities
Dec 14 2017
58 mins
Rob Anderson, Head of Field Operations (Privitar),Tim Hickman, Associate (White & Case)
Today's modern businesses gain competitive edge and remain innovative by using advanced analytics and machine learning. Utilising big data can build customer loyalty by improving personalised marketing campaigns; optimises fraud detection; and improves products and services by advanced testing. However, the data sets required for advanced analytics are often sensitive, containing personal customer information, and therefore come with an inherent set of privacy risks and concerns.
This roundtable will cover a few key questions on data utility and privacy:
- In what ways advanced analytics help businesses gain competitive edge?
- What is defined as sensitive data?
- Will GDPR affect the way you're allowed to use customer data?
- What opportunities are there to utilise sensitive data?
Unlocking the data's true value is a challenge, but there are a range of tools and techniques that can help. This live discussion will focus on the data analytics landscape; compliance considerations and opportunities for improving data utility in 2018 and beyond.
Key takeaways:
- A view of the data protection landscape
- How to remaining compliant with GDPR when using customer data
- Use cases for advanced analytics and machine learning
- Opportunities for maximising data utility in 2018

The new business reality of GDPR and how you use customer data is inexorably approaching, if you work in or are doing business with anyone in the EU you must deal with this regulation.
With data protection, there are really only two options: protection of data through ever-more data centralization and security or turning the customer data paradigm on its head and decentralize the data.
We have a new model: give your customers full control over their data, gain their trust, and lower your costs with the open-source Pillar Business Wallet. Join our conversation Thursday, 30th of November.

Delivering a Secure API layer with Open Banking
Nov 16 2017
61 mins
Louise Beaumont (Publicis.Sapient & techUK), Bernard Harguindeguy (Elastic Beam), Chris Ward (Mapa Research)
This discussion focuses on delivering a secure API layer and how Open Banking will deliver a secure Open Future..
Open Banking will affect every layer of the bank:
-It will stretch and stress banks' brands – resulting in both the potential for significantly increased reach, and reputational enhancement and risk
-It will change and complicate how banks talk to consumers and SMEs – whether direct, intermediated, invisible, or all three simultaneously
-The ecosystem environment will radically change how services are designed - with a flood of ideas and data available for those banks which successfully attract, seed and enrich the ecosystem within which they are a player
-And the ecosystem environment will fundamentally change how these services are delivered – whether by companies with whom the bank has a partnership, or companies with whom the bank has absolutely no relationship
-And finally, it also demands a rich, growing - and secure - API layer to enable the Open Future

Top cyber threats in the financial sector
Nov 16 2017
49 mins
Candid Wueest, Principal Threat Researcher, Symantec
Financial institutions are increasingly facing attacks on multiple fronts.
Cyber criminals continue to target online banking using malware to hijack customer transactions and banking sessions. While there has been an overall drop in infections related to these consumer threats, financial institutions are now facing new types of attacks in the form of large-scale financial heists.
Attack groups such as Fin7 and Lazarus are deliberately targeting financial institutions in audacious attacks that are reaping large rewards. They are using living off the land and fileless attack tactics similar to APT groups. But also extortion with DDoS attacks or business email compromise (BEC) scams are increasingly bothering financial corporations.
In this webcast on the current financial threat landscape, Symantec takes a look at the most prevalent and significant financial threats.
In this webcast we will review:
- The top threats facing financial institutions with statistics and examples
- Explore the most common techniques employed in financial attacks
- Provide case studies of the most high-profile financial attacks of the past 12 months

Credit card fees could be passed from merchant to customer
By DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
Merchants will soon be able to pass along some or all of their credit card processing fees to customers, but the head of the state's retail merchants association doubts many will choose to do so.
The old rules that governed credit card transactions prohibited merchants from adding the so-called "swipe fee," ranging from 1.5 to 3 percent of a purchase, to the customer's bill. But a class action lawsuit that pitted millions of retailers against nine major banks, Visa and MasterCard, changes those rules across the country - except in 10 states that have passed legislation prohibiting swipe fees, including Maine, Massachusetts and Connecticut.
New Hampshire has no such prohibition, so consumers in the Granite State will have to be on the lookout for the prominent notices that merchants are required to post if they intend to add the charge to credit card transactions. Debit card transactions are not affected.
Nancy Kyle, president of the Retail Merchants Association of New Hampshire, said she doubted the practice would become widespread in a state that relies so heavily on retail sales.
"I think you are going to see retailers being very hesitant to pass costs along to their customers," she said.
The official position of the RMANH is that "retailers should be free to determine the pricing of their products, including taking into account payment type, and free to determine what payment options to accept."
The settlement between the merchants, credit card companies and banks that were party to the lawsuit was reached in July and approved by a U.S. District Court Judge in November for implementation in 2013.
Visa, MasterCard and the nation's biggest banks agreed to pay $7.3 billion to millions of merchants to settle the antitrust lawsuit filed in 2005 over swipe fees and other practices by the credit card companies.
But the retail industry is far from united on the issue. The National Retail Federation opposes the settlement, calling it a "one-sided deal" that "benefits no one but lawyers and credit card companies, and should not be forced on the retail industry or its customers."
Retailers not party to the suit would still be bound by the settlement, which prohibits any future lawsuits against the banks or credit card companies surrounding anti-trust practices or fees.
"NRF opposes the settlement because it fails to reform the cartel-like system in which Visa and MasterCard set a rigid schedule of swipe fees that all banks follow," said NRF General Counsel Mallory Duncan.
The consumer advocacy group, Consumer Action, has launched a website, www.knowyourcard.org, to help consumers understand the changes. It points out that retailers must limit fees to what they pay to accept a credit card, typically between 1.5 percent and 3 percent of the total purchase.
In addition, retailers must post signs regarding any checkout fees, and must disclose on the customer receipt the amount of the fee, the fact that the retailer is imposing the charge and that the fee is not greater than what it costs the retailer to accept charge cards.
"Checkout fees can vary for different kinds of cards, such as rewards cards or premier cards, so be sure to ask your retailer in advance if different surcharges apply and choose your payment card accordingly," said Linda Sherry of Consumer Action.

Last updated Apr 10, 2007
owned since 2002. bought STOCK except for I.C.E. consisting of MTX subs and amps and a Clarion head unit and some hideous 17" chrome rims.
i quickly sold the rims and attached a set of Axis touring cups temporarily. then began the parts search to customize the 300 and make it mine.
i started showing the car and placed at show after show taking home awards at every event EXCEPT HotImportNights, which is still a goal.
last year i beefed up the performance to match the looks of the car.
Its been down the drag and sliding across the track at MyrtleBeach's slidefest. Ive also had my share of rolling street races but-
In 07 i plan to tune it to better suit road racing and compete in time trials at the track.
The Z32 300ZX Turbo was on Car and Driver magazine's annual Ten Best list every year it was available, from 1990 through 1996. The Z32 Turbo was also Motor Trend's Import Car of the Year for 1990. It was critically acclaimed by many magazines as being a complete turnaround from the Z31, which many critics felt was a sloppy-handling GT, far from the agile, sporty 240Z of years past. From the year it was introduced, it won many comparison tests against similar sports cars such as the Mitsubishi 3000GT/Dodge Stealth and the Mazda RX-7, as well as the Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Thunderbird, Toyota Supra and the Porsche 968. In some comparison tests for the prototype 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo, the Stealth came out on top.
The Z32 300ZX also made it to Automobile Magazine's list of 25 Most Beautiful Cars in August 2006 and 20 Greatest Cars in April 2006.

I haven't heard of them. I love the song Screamer though. He says "I wanna see movies of my dreams and pictures on my wall" It's always been one of my favorite quotes. I'll probably check out that song though, I want some new music.
Just a random question, is your signature quoting "Screamer" by Good Charlotte?
(In that class, we had to learn how to make sentence trees like this http://www.outerthoughts.com/files/line_tree2.gif and other such ridiculously difficult things.) I can't say whether or not you'll have a similar program, but that's just what I went through. It's not easy, but I'm pretty sure that most people who make a concerted effort manage to pass it. It's not intended to weed people out or anything - they just want to prepare you for how difficult it actually is to teach English abroad, since most people expect it to be easy.
Let me know if you have any other questions, and good luck!
Hey Alison, I got the TESL certificate through my university several years ago. I haven't done the CELTA because it's unnecessary for me, but what I can tell you about these programs is that they are very tough and intense if you don't have any experience teaching English. I would definitely recommend going to Budapest and doing it full-time, as it's easier to learn in such an environment. My program was of course different from others, but I had to take four or five university courses total. I had to take an upper-level Linguistics course, Basics in Teaching English as a Second Language (where we learned how to make lessons and such), a course about teaching abroad (more of a cultural class, and what it's like to teach English to non-native speakers), and a Master's level course in which we learned crazy specifics of English grammar and pronunciation.
Your private message box is full. I can post on your wall too, but, yeah...
Are you still around?
Just walk around in the city. There are some nice buildings here and there. Go on a boat from island to island, which does not cost that much, I believe. You could go and have a look at my school. There are a lot of Asians taking photos of it, so I assume that there is something special about it. You can visit Skansen, and look at animals and some very old buildings.
Depends on your preferences. A thing I did a year ago was to look at the "hidden" parts of the city, the parts that is under ground. But that was a special event, so I do not know how to go about to see those things now. Of course there are a lot of museums here and there. If you like art you can take the day and travel through the metro stations, where all of them have some art and unique.
lol, I answered on my profile... after 2 years on the BBS, you could imagine that I would stop doing that... anyway, I was telling you "Of course ! please tell me what you already did and I'd be happy to tell you new things to do "
Hey ! Where were you ?
Hey hope u enjoyed Blink as much as I did! xx

Due to the abundance of horizontal cracks and the limited number of vertical cracks, most Gunks routes have "PG" protection: adequate but not great, although many gear ratings were applied before small cams were invented. The horizontal cracks are great for small Tricams: the pink and red are especially useful. Small-to-medium cams with flexible shafts also work well. Climbs rarely need pro larger than 3". Hexes are not often carried, but sometimes work well.
Fixed pro is sometimes available, but many of the pins are "old and rusted and shouldn't be trusted". Bring a screamer or two for the questionable pin or bolt.
A "Standard Rack" for the Gunks:
a set of micronuts (RPs, HB offsets, BD micro stoppers) - very often useful for 5.10 and above. a set of wired nuts (#3-#13 BD Stoppers or equivalent) black, pink, red, and brown Tricams (some climbers double up on the smaller sizes) blue, green, yellow, gray, and red Aliens (or equivalent) #.75, #1, #2, and #3 Camalots (or equivalent) 10-12 extendable runners (24" sewn slings) 1 or 2 long runners (48" sewn slings or rabbit runners) A Yates Screamer
Additional gear that is useful on some climbs:
extra cams in the .5" to 2" range - very useful for new Gunks leaders a very small cam (black Alien or equivalent) a large cam (#4 Camalot or equivalent) a set of Trango Ball Nutz (#1, #2, #3). There are several 'new' moderate routes in the Nears, put up by Dick Williams and partners, which rely heavily on Ball Nutz for protection; caveat emptor. larger Tricams (purple #2, black #2.5) medium-sized hexes (BD #6-#8)
The amount of gear that you carry will depend on the climb, your experience, ability, and familiarity with the route and with the Gunks. If you're new to the Gunks, err on the side of taking a little more gear rather than a little less.
Many routes can be climbed and rappelled with a single 60m rope. Double ropes can be handy, however, with the traverses, wandering pro, and roofs encountered on the typical Gunks climb, and come in handy to descend in fewer rappels.
Many popular routes have bolted rap stations, but sometimes trees are used for rap anchors. Bring some webbing along in case you need to beef up a sling anchor on a tree.
Two-way radios can be useful for communicating past the big roofs often encountered on Gunks climbs. High Exposure, Disneyland, and especially Shockley's Ceiling are routes where radios can be much more effective than shouting.

Family escapes devastating 5-alarm fire in historic Strafford home early Monday morningBY JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
February 18. 2013 2:05PM
STRAFFORD – A family of six, including three children and an infant, were lucky that smoke woke them up before a fire tore through a 242-year-old home they had been renting for about a year, according to Fire Chief Paul Stover.
Stover said he had just stoked the fire in his own wood stove when he heard the first report of a structure fire at 483 First Crown Point Road, Apt. 1, around 4:30 a.m. By 4:43 a.m., police, firefighters and emergency personnel had responded to the scene, where fire and heavy smoke was billowing out of the home.
By the time he passed the home on the way to the nearby Crown Point substation, Stover said two adults and four children – ages 11, 9, 2 and the baby - left the home and tossed the family cat out the door as they fled for safety.
"Given the conditions and lack of smoke detectors, it could have been a tragedy," Stoker said, adding the American Red Cross is assisting the family.
Stover, who first arrived with Officer Randy Young, said he sounded three alarms within the first 10 minutes at the scene, and called for five within an hour to bring additional firefighters to help battle the wind-driven fire.
Local crews were assisted by firefighters from Allenstown, Barnstead, Barrington, Chichester, Deerfield, Farmington, Louden, Milton, Northwood, Nottingham, Pittsfield and Rochester. Epsom and Louden provided station coverage.
"The wind met the back of the house square-on," Stover said, explaining that stoked the fire in the old farmhouse, which was made with square nails and thick, heavy timbers – providing plenty of fuel.
Stoker said the cold temperatures hampered efforts since hoses and equipment froze. Although the home was a total loss, firefighters were able to save the attached garage and remove the large propane tank before it ignited, he added.
"They shut it down, cut it (the line) and rolled it," Stoker said.
Stoker said the 2½-story home was constructed in the post-and-beam style, and had narrow stairways, which made access difficult. He credited Rochester firefighters who attempted an interior attack before being forced out by the intense fire.
While Chichester brought a rehabilitation truck, Stoker said firefighters kept warm in the nearby fire station, which was within sight of the fire.
"It helps a lot because it's so bitter cold," Stoker said.
Despite the constant wind, with gusts of up to 50 mph, Stoker said firefighters were glad it was blowing into a snow-covered field across the road, rather than towards nearby homes.
"If this was late fall or early spring, we'd be chasing spot fires all day long," Stoker said.
He said firefighters would have to hose down the smoldering pile of rubble during the day. He added they might even ask the town's road agent to break through the debris as a precaution.
Stoker said the fire, which appears to be accidental at this time, remains under investigation.
"We have an area of origin, but not a cause," Stoker said, adding firefighters will talk to the property owner to determine how the home was laid out and what appliances or equipment could have been inside.

Manchester Crimewatch: Man accused of threatening fiancee on Valentine's Day
February 15. 2013 10:33PM
MANCHESTER - Gary Cormier, 41, of 515 Hall St., is accused of first threatening his fiancee on Valentine's Day and, after being released on bail, stalking her.
Cormier is accused of jumping out in front of the woman's vehicle on Hall Street and pounding on the hood and when she put the vehicle in reverse, opening the door and trying to pull her out, scaring her.
After his release on bail, he is accused of returning to the Hall Street address. Police prosecutors then filed a motion to revoke Cormier's bail on the first charge. "Because I went home," Cormier said.
Cormier will be held without bail until a hearing Tuesday in Circuit Court, Manchester District Division.
At his arraignment Friday in Circuit Court, Cormier said: "I'd like to pleady guilty and get it over with." Told each charge carries a sentence of up to one year, Cormier said: "If I go to jail for a year, I go to jail."
The judge refused to accept a guilty plea, telling Cormier he needs to talk to a lawyer. Cormier agreed and trial was set for March 21.
A police prosecutor said Cormier has a criminal history that includes reckless conduct, assault, attempted assault, theft and habitual offender.
Arrested on a warrant
David Nault, 43, who is homeless, pleaded innocent Friday in Circuit Court, Manchester District Division to a violation of a protective order that alleges he had contact with his ex-wife Sept. 27, 2012, when he went to a Lake Avenue address to visit his children.
Police prosecutor Carissa Pelletier successfully sought $5,000 cash/surety bail for Nault, saying he has previous convictions for breach of bail and assault of the same person. Conditions bar contact with his ex-wife, bar him from her residence and bar any use of alcohol.
Trial was set for March 21.
More charges
Brandon Ross, 22, of 385 Concord St., was in Circuit Court, Manchester District Division Friday for the second day in a row.
Ross was arraigned Thursday on a felony robbery charge that alleges, with a companion, he went to the Beech Street residence of an acquaintance Jan. 18 and held the victim and two friends at gunpoint while his companion gathered a number of electronic items and put them into a backpack and fled with the backpack and several hundred dollars in cash.
Ross was arraigned Friday on a felony charge of identity fraud, a misdemeanor of receiving stolen property and two misdemeanor charges of fraudulent use of a credit card.
The new charges allege Ross stole a neighbor's debit card and used it to purchase approximately $550 worth of items at 7-Eleven stores Jan. 15.
A probable cause hearing on the new ID fraud felony was set for Feb. 28 and trial on the misdemeanors was set for March 25.
Bail was set at $5,000 on the new charges, with conditions barring contact with the neighbor and barring him from several 7-Eleven stores where he allegedly used the stolen debit card.
Barred from address
An Andover man pleaded innocent Friday in Circuit Court, Manchester District Division to two misdemeanor charges of criminal mischief and trial was set for March 25.
Gary Prentice, 44, of 264 Switch Road, is accused of kicking out a door panel at the Merrimack Street apartment of his ex-girlfriend and of punching a fan, breaking it.
Prentice said: "I was hoping I could get (personal recognizance) bail," but a police prosecutor said Prentice was convicted of criminal mischief involving the same woman in 2011.
The judge set bail at $1,000 cash/surety, with conditions that included no contact with the woman, not going within 100 yards of the woman, not going to her address and no alcohol consumption.

A hair stylist for 15 years, Reed recently joined the staff at Make Waves Salon on Milford-Harrington Highway
Reed has worked as a hair stylist in Kent and Sussex counties for 15 years and even owned her own salon Hey Good Looking in Milton, which she sold in 2011. She recently joined longtime Milford salon Make Waves on Milford-Harrington Highway.
Q What made you pursue a career as a hair stylist?
A I like to help people feel good about themselves. It's nice when you know someone is treating themselves and they leave feeling pretty and happy. There also aren't a lot of places that people go where the staff asks them about their lives like they do at a hair salon. I think people really enjoy that and you get attached to them. It's neat to see a little girl whose hair you cut when she was 8 come back to you to get her hair done for prom when she's 18. I have some clients who have been coming to me for 15 years and loyally follow me to every salon.
Q Are there any misconceptions about hair styling you encounter?
A A lot. I would say one of the main ones is when women try to do their own hair coloring from a box and they're surprised that it doesn't come out the same color as the picture. Most people don't understand the chemistry behind hair coloring and they're sometimes surprised that we don't just pull the color out of a tube and put it on. There's a lot more to it than that. And then there are people who might be on medication that's causing their hair to thin and they don't understand why or how to deal with it.
Q What brought you to Make Waves?
A I've known the owner Mike Thompson for a long time and I know he and his staff are very educated and stay up to date on what to use. They also really take their time with clients, especially with consultations, which is so important yet a lot of places don't do them. He knows good client interaction is the key to running a good salon and he treats everyone with respect. Plus, the salon here is just beautiful.
Q What advice would you give to kids interested in pursuing a career in cosmetology?
A I would tell them to go somewhere that you can build a strong clientele through walk-in traffic, and don't discount your services because you're worth it. This is a trade. It's a profession. And if you do it right, it's a career. Plus, it's recession proof. People might cut back on how often they go to the stylist, but they'll always want to get their hair done and look nice. When I started out, I thought hair would be something I would fall back on, but if I've been able to do anything else, it's because of hair.

ST.PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — Alexei German, a Russian film director best known for his works offering a bitter view of life in the Soviet Union under dictator Josef Stalin, died Thursday, his son said.
German, 74, died of heart failure at a hospital in his hometown, St. Petersburg, his son, Alexei German Jr., said in a blog post.
German came to prominence internationally for his 1983 production "My Friend Ivan Lapshin" about a police investigator battling a criminal gang. Censors blocked the film's release for two years because of its realistic depiction of Soviet life in the wake of the Stalinist terror of the late 1930s.
The release of the film heralded the era of reforms launched by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, and was aired on Soviet television in 1986 to much clamor and public debate.
The production of "Khrustalyov, My Car," a grotesque narrative centered on Stalin's final days, endured multiple delays due to Russia's post-Soviet economic meltdown. It received a hostile reception at its Cannes premiere in 1998, but later attained cult status.
In a 2012 article, critic Anton Dolin observed that "to many Russian critics, cinephiles, and viewers, German is their national cinema's foremost figure after (Andrei) Tarkovsky."
"Others insist that, in fact, he is more important and more original," Dolin wrote.
German's output was typically starkly shot and marked in its emphasis on mood and oppressive atmosphere over traditional linear narrative. His films are unified by an unflinchingly critical view of Soviet history.
His first solo directorial work, "Trial on The Road" — made in 1971 but barred from release until 1986 — was based on a war story by his father, a famous novelist, and told the story of an escaped prisoner of war compelled to win back the trust of his comrades during World War II.
Although structurally conventional, the film drew the authorities' disapproval for German's unusual decision to make a hero of a character initially viewed as a Nazi collaborator.
Alexei German Jr., who is also a celebrated director, said work on his father's sixth and final film was all but done.
"The film 'It Is Hard to Be a God' is in effect finished. All that remains is the audio dubbing. Everything else is ready. It will be completed in the foreseeable future," he said.
German Jr. said his father worked on the film despite his failing health.
"The making of the film was long and painful," German Jr. said in a post on Ekho Mosky radio station's website. "It was made without government money."
Even before its release, the film has generated a lot of public expectations and intense discussion, with some seeing it as a stinging satire on President Vladimir Putin's Russia, full of grim predictions for the future.
The Lenfilm studio, with which German worked over his entire career, said his funeral would take place Sunday in St. Petersburg.
German is also survived by his wife, Svetlana Karmalita.
