MySQL Workbench sets itself out as a route for developers and data architects (that definition can include DBAs for the purposes of this explanation) to visually design, model, generate, and manage databases.
It includes data modeling tools for creating complex ER models and forward and reverse engineering. It also has features for performing difficult change management and documentation tasks. This is all about making it easier to work on multitasking database management and development.
A vertical query results mode allows query results to be visualized as a column/value pair list, which should be well suited for queries that produce few rows but many columns. A cascaded
DELETE statement generator automatically performs the "tedious task" of creating
DELETE statements for deleting a row referenced by foreign keys.
VP of MySQL engineering at Oracle Tomas Ulin has said that MySQL Workbench 6.0 also features improved visual entity-relationship model synchronization with live schemas, making the integrated database modeling tool "even more useful" for managing schemas. A new Schema Inspector provides a suite of detailed views of all objects in the schemas plus access to table maintenance operations such as
ANALYZE and
According to Oracle, "New Table Data Search: enables a text search on any number of tables and schemas for rows matching a given pattern. [There is also] wizard based migration support for Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE), PostgreSQL, and now with additional support for Sybase SQL Anywhere and SQLite."

Airbag Jump:
Designed to give you a soft landing, and similar to what you may see in the movies, feel the rush of making a freefall jump into a 60-by-60 foot airbag.
Choose from three different routes featuring hairpin turns, underground tunnels and plenty of splash down into the landing pools.

Macintosh Counting on Frank: A Math Adventure Game
video game
In the 1980s and 1990s, Brøderbund Software, Inc. became one of the leading producers and distributors of home computer video games and electronic software. In 1986, it was the 9th-largest United States computer software company, and by 1997, the company had annual revenues of $190 million. Brøderbund began as a truly family affair. Brothers Doug and Gary Carlston founded the company in 1980, in order to market Doug's strategy game, Galactic Empire. Their sister, Cathy Carlston, joined the venture a year later. The company's name comes from the Afrikaans word "Broederbond," loosely translated as "association of brothers." In order to distance themselves from a South African white supremacist group that shared the same name, the Carlstons altered the spelling and added the Scandinavian letter Ø, which also represents the slashed zero found in computer codes. Brøderbund's popularity stemmed from its wide range of products, as well as the fact that it released games for nearly every home computer system in America. The company also licensed certain series overseas, allowing its games to appear on systems such as the British ZX Spectrum and Japanese MSX. The company is best known for popular games such as Prince of Persia, Karateka, Myst, Lode Runner, and the educational Carmen Sandiego franchise. It also produced Raid on Bungeling Bay, the first video game created by SimCity-designer Will Wright. Additionally, Brøderbund produced computer software programs such as the Print Shop, Kid Pix, and Family Tree Maker, as well as an interactive reading series known as Living Books. This artifact represents part of a donation from co-founder Doug Carlston, which includes approximately 1,500 electronic games and software products developed, published, and licensed by Brøderbund, as well as archival materials such as company newsletters, competitive market research, financial statements, photographs, promotional materials, and awards.

Narcolepsy is a disorder of the nervous system. It results in frequent, involuntary episodes of sleep during the day. Sleep attacks can occur while you drive, talk, or work.
The cause is unknown. It is thought to have a genetic link. There is increasing evidence that it may be an autoimmune disorder. In this type of disorder, the body's own immune system attacks a part of the brain.
Symptoms usually start during the teenage years. Onset may range from 5-50 years old. Symptoms may worsen with age. They may improve in women after menopause.
Symptoms include:
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Daytime involuntary sleep attacks
- Unrefreshing sleep
- Sudden loss of muscle tone without loss of consciousness
- Temporary paralysis while awakening or falling asleep
- Frightening mental images that appear while awakening or as one falls asleep
- Memory problems
Symptoms may be triggered by:
- A monotonous environment
- A warm environment
- Eating a large meal
- Strong emotions
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. If narcolepsy is suspected, you may be referred to a specialist in sleep disorders.
Tests may include:
- Multiple sleep latency test (MSLT)—measures the onset of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which occurs earlier than normal in narcolepsy
General sleep lab study—often done the night before an MSLT; helps to rule out other causes of daytime sleepiness by monitoring:
- Brain waves
- Eye movements
- Muscle activity
- Respiration
- Heart beat
- Blood oxygen levels
- Total nighttime sleep
- Amount of nighttime REM sleep
- Time of onset of REM sleep
- Degree of daytime sleepiness
- A questionnaire regarding your degree of daytime sleepiness
Treatment may include:
- Stimulant medications that increase levels of daytime alertness
- Antidepressants to help treat symptoms of narcolepsy
Other treatment options include:
- Planned short naps throughout the day
- Counseling to cope with issues of self esteem
- Wearing medical alert jewelry
There are no guidelines to prevent narcolepsy. But, you can try to prevent symptoms by:
- Exercising on a regular basis
- Getting enough sleep at night

A welcome to our new dog, Muffin.
Given my history, you might think this is another recipe, but you would be wrong. In October, we lost our beloved Lily, the first dog I ever had. I could not believe how fond of her I grew. A sudden severe illness left us with no choice but to end her sweet life. As stoic as I tried to be, I just couldn't pull it off. I truly grieved over the loss of her, and still do for that matter. I wasn't sure I'd ever want to go through that again.
Now we have Muffin. Muffin is one year old. She comes from a family who cared deeply for her. Sadly they faced a crisis that made it impossible for them to continue their care. To their credit, they didn't just get rid of her, but through the network of other dog lovers, made sure that a good home was located for Muffin. That happens to be our home. We have time to give her, and space for her to run, play and explore. She's in a different home, so it may take her a while to settle in, but she seems happy and we are delighted.
Muffin found a comfortable chair to curl up in last night, but she came to my room to check on me four or five times. She hasn't yet climbed up on my bed, and she may not ever do that, but she put her paws up and demanded attention. She's a real beauty. I've been asked what breed she is. I'm sure she's of mixed breed, not pedigreed. There are so many great pets out there that need good homes. Even though Muffin could be referred to as a mutt, she probably has a better pedigree than I.
This was a case of the perfect puppy that needed a home through no fault of anyone. There are people in this world who care about dogs and will go to great lengths to find the proper home for a pet left with no other place to live.
I wrote once about Hound Around Hotel, run by Janine Sevits about 7 miles northwest of town. Janine is an animal lover, to be sure. It is she who directed Muffin to our attention. Last Thanksgiving, Janine moved into her new facility, lovingly called "Doggie Hilton." The whole enterprise is a family affair, and they work hard to maintain an admirable business model as well as a haven for the temporary care of man's best friend.
It's an ideal pastoral setting where those who have to be away from home can board their dogs and be sure that they will be treated well and loved. Janine is a class act. If you haven't seen Hound Around Hotel, it would be worth your while to go out and give it a look. Janine is on site, feeding her guests from 8 – 10 every morning and 4 – 6 every afternoon. Give her a call. She is also a breeder of a couple species of dogs. Five minutes with Janine and you know that she loves animals. You can find additional information at www.houndaroundhotel.com/ or call at 660 216 2583. This facility is on Hwy. B west of Fegley.
The good news is that we have a sweet dog for which we can provide a nice home. Welcome, Muffin! We hope you enjoy your new home as much as we appreciate you.

Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The (US - DVD R1)
Gabe Powers takes a belated look at some extended Lion vs. Witch action...
In this, the first part of C.S. Lewis' epic Chronicles of Narnia children's book series, four siblings escape their WWII ravaged home in London to a mansion in the country. The giant domicile hides a mysterious wardrobe that serves as a passage to another world, the world of Narnia. Narnia has been in a frozen disarray for hundreds of years under the cruel reign of the evil White Witch. But there is a prophecy that tells of two sons of Adam, and two daughters of Eve (read: humans) that will save Narnia from its eternal winter.
It's all too easy for me to just sit here and compare/contrast Andrew Adamson's film and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (and to a lesser extent, the Harry Potter series), and really, I'd love to avoid it, but I'm just not a good enough writer. I'll apologise here and now for this.
The fact of the matter is that The Chronicles of Narnia would not have been green-lit, had Peter Jackson's filmed versions of J.R.R. Tolkien's novels flopped. Disney was holding fast to the rights and watching The Lord of the Rings box office with dislodged, salivating tongues. The fact that the studio went directly to LOTR practical effects designers Weta, and filmed in New Zealand to make the film is a pretty stern back up. After Mel Gibson's S & M, slow motion fetish-fest The Passion of the Christ rolled in the Christian cash, the studio made the decision to up-play the original story's Christian themes to sweeten the bait (though I have to give them credit for not softening the original story's strong Christian overtones, anything else would be a sell-out).
The real shocker in Hollywood wasn't the obvious cash grabs, but the hiring of Adamson as director. Adamson was hot off two Shrek computer animated films with DreamWorks SKG, an animation department that was made and maintained by ex-Disney employees. Adamson's studio jump was seen by some as less than chivalrous. His hiring in general was plenty suspect to those of us who were actually looking forward to the film.
Not to get too down on the man or his green ogre, but the Shrek movies were not character driven, poignant, or even particularly dramatic work. Personally, I laughed at the first one the first time I saw it, and have found its many pop culture references entirely tiring on subsequent forced viewings. The two movies are insanely popular, but they're easily forgettable, surface layer writing isn't the kind of thing I would expect to stand up to the deeply dramatic and rich worlds of Jackson's LOTR (though I suppose anyone watching Braindead in the early '90s wouldn't ever suspect Jackson of being capable of anything beyond gut and blood jokes).
Adamson gets the job done here, but on a disappointingly bare minimum level. His Narnia is visually rich, eye-catching, and pretty much what I pictured when I read the first two books as a kid. Real world Britain is even more eyeball-pleasing, and the art and set design staff does a pretty good job of not making this fantasy world look exactly like that of Middle Earth. The problem is that Jackson's Middle Earth, and to a certain extent the worlds of the Harry Potter films, have a realistic, gigantic, and lived-in feel to them. Narnia is very pretty, but like the worlds of Shrek, pretty shallow. I don't get the feeling of this being a lived in world, with thousands of years of history, and I never forget that I'm watching a film set or computer amalgamation (though the botched green-screen composites don't really help me there).
If I hadn't seen the solid lands of Middle Earth and Hogwarts I may be singing a different tune, and that's the problem, these films (well Jackson's films at least) have all but ruined the genre for me. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe isn't by any normal means a bad film, but beyond its prettiness I found myself unable to care about what I was watching. The world did not engulf me, nor did its characters, or their perils.
I would attribute my basic apathy to the story to the fact that I'm not very fond of the original books (I read the first two when I was younger, got bored, and gave up), if it wasn't for the fact that I find Tolkien's novels almost equally flawed (which I also read two of, got bored, and gave up on). I understand that these are classics of literature, but it's just not possible for me to overlook the fact that I find them excruciatingly dull. What Jackson Philippa Boyens, and Fran Walsh managed to do with The Lord of the Rings was to take a dated fantasy series (not my favourite genre), and rework it into a modern filmic masterpiece (in my opinion, please Tolkien fans, no hate mail, it's just one illiterate's opinion). It's all in the adaptation, and when done right a film can be better than the original book, at least in the context that it works for and touches the greatest overall theatre going audience, from high-brow to low.
Adamson and his crew has followed C.S. Lewis' source novel a little too closely. The book was written with children in mind, and the story moves way to fast, at least in these post- LOTR times. Jackson and Co. knew what characters needed a lot fleshing-out to gain the most dramatic tension possible. The best example is the character of Faramir, who in the books is an entirely one-dimensional trooper. In the film (much to Tolkein fanatics' chagrin) things are changed to give the character a proper drive and arch. An audience watching The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is expected to take the filmmaker's word for the fact that they should care for these people and creatures. Some would argue that taking two, 3-plus hour long movies to establish characters is overkill, but I for one found it invaluable from a purely, and rawly emotional standpoint. Let's not make a habit of it, but admit that sometimes it's needed.
I was hoping that perhaps this extended edition of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe would flesh out these boring children, and vapidly cute little animals, as the extended versions of LOTR had (even if it was unneeded). Unfortunately, I didn't notice a single added shot. Either these shots were so perfectly reintegrated that they're seamless, or they are so unimportant that they weren't needed. I'm thinking it's more of the later, though my basic disinterest is probably a telling sign of my attention level the first time around, when I didn't have to pay attention for review purposes. Events still move too fast, and too much is taken for granted for me to really be touched by the final reel.
But what of those battle scenes, the ones I don't remember from the source novel? I see them as another obvious LOTR cash-in, as that trilogy (or at least the last 2/3rds) pretty much set the bar for massive battle scenes from here on out. Adamson doesn't have it in him to thrill me to the bone, but there are more than a few shots that achieve a certain majesty, mostly those of flying creatures dropping rocks on non-flying creatures. Even in its extended form, the battle feels stilted and sudden. The battle isn't set in the layers Jackson used so well during the attack on Helms Deep, and the elapsed time is short due to a lack of cutaways. The big problem here though, is the lack of build up. Zulu, Braveheart, and the two latter LOTR films had at a lot of build up to the release of violence, in the case of Zulu and [/i]LOTR[/i] - hours.
Adamson doesn't do up-close action very well at all, and his editors really over-do even the simplest shots. There isn't a lot of time taken to establish geography in any shot, and this is a huge problem during action. Hopefully Disney will be willing to let the next film in the series play out a little slower, and Adamson will grow a bit as a filmmaker, because right now his attention span isn't to far from his Shrek days.
Before I wrap this up I should probably mention the acting and special effects.
As a non-fan of Harry Potter, who thought the series didn't pick up until the third episode, I was always impressed with the calibre of child actors. The kids here aren't bad, by any means, but never feel natural. It's always obvious that these kids are acting very well, rather than melting into the story. The fact that they're thinly drawn can be attributed to Lewis' source material, but as I said, the people behind LOTR found ways to flesh-out their characters. The best acting comes from the voice cast, and Tilda Swinton as the evil White Witch. The problem with this praise is that most of these parts were just well (and sometimes all too obviously) cast, and these actors are simply replaying older roles. Swinton is hard to take one's eyes off of however, but we all know the bad guy is usually the best character with these things.
The effects are decent, at some points during the battle brilliant, but always obviously effects. Some animal characters (the beavers, the fox) are a little too cartoony looking for my taste (though I understand this is a kid's film), and some of the more fantastical creatures don't blend into each other in a group. The difference between practical and digital effects is hard to miss. I wonder how much time Weta put into this production, considering it coincided with founder Peter Jackson's King Kong adaptation, which like it or not, has some astounding effects shots. The problem here is, as always with special effects, context. If the character and story doesn't sell an effect as real, it doesn't seem as such, and no matter how solid the voice acting, these characters are obviously effects. Aslan is no contender for Gollum's crown.
Honestly, I'm a little disappointed here. This is a newly filmed, big budget spectacular, but this transfer is only average. Colours are bright and 'realistically' rendered, and black levels are sharp, but that's where the compliments end. The overall image is too soft, details suffer, especially in darker scenes. Low lighting causes an overall redness to the frame, and backgrounds are next to invisible. Lighter sequences look better, but still suffer, as reds bleed into whites, and moving edges are often blocky. Edge enhancement isn't too obvious, but some of the more shoddy green-screen shots suffer this ailment.
The Dolby Digital and DTS tracks are more what one should expect from such a film. Dialogue is perfectly clear without overpowering subtle background sound. Directional effects are nearly perfect, and add a much needed three dimensional quality to the film's world. The score runs hot and cold, sometimes beautiful, other times entirely unoriginal and obvious. There's a hair too much Enya-like vocalisation for me overall (the final credits of all three Lord of the Rings films had this exact problem, especially Fellowship, which actually used Enya herself). The LFE levels are fantastic, keeping the music deep and the action lively without over exerting the viewer.
This 4-disc set is a sort of cash-in on the superior LOTR Extended Editions in itself (packaging, etc.), but these DVDs have a feel all there own, so far as the video extras and documentaries go. Nothing here is as effortlessly entertaining as the oodles of stuff found on New Line's discs, but like the film these extras are more child friendly without being placative.
Disc one houses the same extras as the previous release. I never listened to the commentary tracks on the original theatrical version, so I'm not sure how the producers have compensated the extra footage, but things flow well enough. The children's commentary with director Adamson is the better track due to the fact that the kids themselves are pretty infectious. The later track with Adamson and some of his crew is unnecessary once the viewer gets to disc four of this set (more on that in a few).
The first disc has a few more kid friendly extras like a blooper reel and some nice little Narnia pop-up facts. Adamson also supplies a brief introduction.
Disc two is not unlike the second disc of the previous special edition release of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Those with a distinct sense of deja vu need not worry about their mental health, this is, in fact, the same disc included with the previous release. Sony pulled this same trick a few years back with their extended edition release of Hellboy. We've got to give Peter Jackson and his friends some major credit for not repeating themselves on the multiple releases of either The Lord of the Rings or King Kong.
This disc is basically one big documentary cut up into a billion little pieces. Returning to the main menu every few minutes isn't my idea of a fun, so thank God for the 'Play All' option. Despite their length, the Evolution of an Epic features are a pretty breezy viewing, though the pace is occasionally a bit too fast for the bits I actually cared about (especially the Richard Taylor of Weta, and Howard Berger or KNB sections, which only run about six minutes apiece). The Creatures, Lands & Legends sections, covering the mythology and design of the world are far too short.
The two biggest sections of the disc are Chronicles of a Director and The Children's Magical Journey featurettes. Chronicles of a Director gives the viewer a nice glance into the making of the film, and forces some respect upon director Adamson, but when directly compared to the similar footage found on the LOTR DVDs, the production almost looks easy (not to deplete the production crew's effort, but LOTR looked like a living Hell). There's a bit too much brown-nosing, but this kind of behaviour is to be expected from such featurettes. The Children's Magical Journey is pretty darn endearing, and made me wish I'd enjoyed the final film a bit more. Seeing the epic filmmaking experience from the kid's point of view is a great touch. Another breezy 30 minutes.
The third disc houses a rather encompassing documentary about writer C.S. Lewis entitled Dreamer of Narnia. The doc covers pretty much everything, and features playful, if not slightly unprofessional looking graphics. This is a longer version of the brief featurette found on disc two, and with a runtime of over an hour, it stumbles into boredom at times. Fans of the novels with only a base knowledge of the writer will love this feature, but I'm not sure it needed its own disc. Isn't this a bit of a waste of space?
So far the set isn't worth it's steep price tag. Those who've already purchased the earlier two disc set will probably be upset by the fact that they have to repurchase the same special features just to get the slightly extended version of the film. I'm not a fan of repackaging myself, but here, on the set's fourth and final disc we come to the fleshy nubben of the set. Disc four contains a fabulous video commentary cum in depth making of documentary cum story board and special effects comparison reel. Disney did something similar on their Finding Nemo DVD a few years back, but this is a much more intensive study.
The feature allows the viewer to gather all necessary information pertaining to the film while still maintaining the context to which it belongs. I hope this catches on because I'd love to see it utilised on a film I've personally enjoyed more. I do wonder about disc capacity, and whether or not this could've all fit on the first disc with the kids' commentary by utilizing either a branching or alternate angle mode. If that were possible, and Disney hadn't double dipped the rest of the now moot special features (as this feature basically usurps the rest), we might've had a perfect, and more affordable two disc set on our hands. The only problem with the feature is the fact that the viewer is at the mercy of the film's pace. Some facts and images are passed by a bit too fast.
Things are wrapped up with an anatomy of a scene featurette, which doesn't bring all that new to the table, and a series of image galleries. The conceptual art is incredible, and points to a much richer, and much darker film. If only that were the film Adamson had felt compelled to create.
Also listed as features on the official release blurb were a booklet and certificate of authenticity. My DVD, a full retail version, did not have either of these.
Fans of the film will adore this collection, and even those of us that found the final product disappointingly average might get a bit out of the extra features, if not the extra footage. I can see the continued series improving in the same bounds as the Harry Potter series, and if so, audiences should be in for a delight in a few more years. Prince Caspian is in pre-production right now, and I hope the creative team has learned from their mistakes.
I apologise that this review didn't arrive before the disc's release, but I received the screener a week too late. If any fans out there were still waiting, I say go for it. Non-fans, the extra footage makes basically no difference. If you didn't like the film before, you probably won't like it any more now, but the fourth disc's commentary/documentary/art show is a really great extra, maybe even worth a rent for non-fans.

PALMYRA TWP. (Pike)- ACCESS Plus, a health insurance program for people on Pennsylvania Medical Assistance, is being discontinued in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Participants will have to choose another plan by February 7.
A public meeting has been scheduled to discuss the options, Monday, Feb. 4 from 6 to 8 p.m., at the Wallenpaupack North Primary School cafeteria.
The meeting is being hosted by the Department of Public Welfare and the Pennsylvania Enrollment Services program. At the meeting, representatives from the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare (DPW), Maximus and vendors will be present to answer questions.
Most ACCESS Plus consumers will need to join a HealthChoices plan no later than February 7, 2013. Beginning March 1, 2013, consumer will get their Medical Assistance coverage through a managed care plan. United HealthCare Community Plan is also ending at the same time.
This public meeting will address:
• How the implementation will take place,
• The Open Enrollment process
• The enrollment services available for all consumers and
• The timeline for consumers to make a choice.
ACCESS Plus is sponsored by the DPW. With ACCESS Plus, enrollees receive all medically necessary services for which they are currently eligible for through their Medical Assistance (MA) benefits. Through ACCESS Plus, enrollees are also eligible to receive Case Management and Disease Management services.
Benefits of this program, which will soon be unavailable in the region, include a primary care provider, ACCESS to a doctor or clinic around the clock, help in making appointments, chronic disease management, check-ups for children through the age of 20 and a toll-free help line.
The program is being discontinued across Pennsylvania, and the last counties to have it phased out are in the northeast.
Families will be able to choose from three other programs, AmeriHealth Northeast; CoventryCares and Geisinger Health Plan.
Lorie Devoe, Northeast Coordinator for the Special Kids Network, arranged for the public meeting at the North Primary School. There were previous public meetings in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area, she said, but were not convenient for everyone in this region.
The Hawley resident stated that as a mother of four children that have special needs, she is acutely aware of the concern changes in insurance coverage and programs can bring. Families need to know if the new program will accept their doctor, will certain treatments be covered, and where will they need to go for help.
Consumers on Medical Assistance were notified of the changes by a variety of means, including letter, e-mail, phone calls and notice of special meetings.
Wallenpaupack North Primary School is located at 158 Atlantic Avenue, off Route 6 behind Turkey Hill.
For more information about the meeting, call Lori Devoe at (570)949-4152 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Parents of truants have day in courtBy JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
February 11. 2013 9:53PM
ROCHESTER - A handful of parents and guardians decided Monday to take a class with their child and avoid a fine as part of a new program to encourage "chronically truant" students to attend school.
They were among the first truancy cases to appear before a Rochester District Court judge since the option took effect Jan. 1.
One parent failed to show in court, while two others pleaded not guilty and will return for a trial later next month. They could face a first-time fine of $250, according to officials.
Under the new program, parents of truant students must appear in court, where they choose between going to trial - which could end with a maximum fine of $1,000 - or take four, hour-long classes with their child.
The program is intended to target the most drastic cases of students who fail to go to school.
The worst offender missed more than 65 days of classes in one school year, according to officials.
The city hopes the effort will reduce the majority of the truancy issues and allow officials to focus resources on educating more students, rather than tracking them down.

Nebraska Finishes Seventh at NCAA Championships
Columbus, Ohio - The Nebraska rifle team finished seventh in the nation at the conclusion of the 2013 NCAA Championships, completing competition with a team score of 4,643. NU earned a team score of 2,346 in air rifle on Saturday afternoon to go along with their mark of 2,297 in smallbore on Friday.
"As a coach, I am tremendously proud of the team and their effort both today and throughout the year," Head Coach Stacy Underwood said. "We had great team and individual performances. The most rewarding part for me to watch was the comradery between the girls. This was a great first step for our program, because we have proven that we belong here. This is the foundation that our program will build on."
The Huskers added another discipline finalist in Saturday's competition, as senior Katelyn Woltersdorf fired a 590 in team competition to lead the Huskers. Her score was tied with three other championship competitors, forcing a shoot-off to determine the participants in the air rifle final. Woltersdorf earned a 52 to advance out of the shoot-off and participate in the finals, where she captured a score of 103.5 to finish sixth nationally. Senior Janine Dutton added a 589 to aid the Huskers on the air rifle range.
The West Virginia Mountaineers posted a team score of 4,675 to earn the program's 15th national title. Kentucky earned national runner-up honors with a 4,670, while TCU rounded out the top three at the championship at 4,664.
The Nebraska rifle team will finish their 2012-13 campaign with an overall record of 29-15, including a 20-6 mark in the regular season. The Huskers captured three total All-GARC honors between Dutton and Woltersdorf, as well as GARC Coach of the Year honors for Head Coach Stacy Underwood.

At town hall , openness pays, Durham official saysBy GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
February 17. 2013 10:14PM
At a recent meeting of Durham's town council, the good and bad of Town Administrator Todd Selig's 12 years of service were openly discussed, as were the details of his new four-year contract.
It is in stark contrast to the way things are done in some communities in New Hampshire.
Under the state's right-to-know law, Selig has the option of requesting that the annual review be conducted in non-public session, but he has never chosen to exercise it.
Detailed updates about town business emailed weekly to residents, employees and elected officials, annual right-to-know workshops held for every board and committee member in town and a policy of making sure every email between Selig and one town councilor is immediately shared with every other member of the council are just a few examples of how this policy of openness is put into practice.
"At the core, we, appointed and elected officials at the local level, are public servants and it's important that the public can observe what it is that we're doing in a very open and understandable way and when the public can do that. Whether they like what they see or dislike what they see, they are able to engage productively," Selig said.
Amherst administrator
Several other communities around the state, however, are embroiled in issues stemming from non-public decisions about public officials. In at least three communities, administrators have been placed on paid leave with little or no explanation, leaving the public left wondering what happened.
Amherst Town Administrator Jim O'Mara quietly returned to his job in mid-January after being placed on paid leave six weeks earlier - with no explanation made to the public.
It was not until after O'Mara's return that town officials said his leave was related to an investigation about a dump truck purchase - an investigation that found no evidence of wrong-doing on the part of any town employee, including O'Mara. Town officials denied right-to-know requests made by the New Hampshire Union Leader, other news outlets and a local citizens' group.
Raymond superintendent
In January, Raymond School Superintendent Jean Richards reached a "confidential separation agreement" with the school district after being placed on paid administrative leave in September, again with no explanation.
The agreement was recently released after the New Hampshire Union Leader filed a right-to-know request, but it provided no information as to why Richards was placed on leave, or why she chose to resign, beyond a mutually agreed upon one-sentence statement. Richards will retain her title and her pay through the end of this school year while performing no duties for the district, and will receive health insurance benefits for another full year.
Ron Brickett, business administrator for the Raymond School District, said including Richards' already-budgeted salary for the 2012-13 school year, the cost to the district will end up being over $200,000.
Manchester principal
Manchester High School West Principal MaryEllen McGorry was placed on paid leave in September. Last month the school board approved a deal that will allow her to resign from her $103,700-a-year position in April, while continuing to receive health benefits through June. Suspended a week after McGorry was her secretary, Denise Michael; she remains on paid leave.
The bill for an investigation into McGorry's conduct has already topped $100,000, in addition to the cost of McGorry's severance package. The Employment Practices Group, a Massachusetts-based firm, is continuing its investigation of Michael.
Through it all, officials have given no details to the public.
Breeding suspicion
"When I see headlines in communities like Amherst or Raymond, it makes me feel very sad because it has the effect of breeding suspicion and mistrust and it is incredibly disruptive to getting the work of the people done," Selig said.
He said secrecy breeds a host of problems, from suspicion about decisions being made, to questions about how funds are being spent.
"And so while it can sometimes be harder in the short run being quite frank about what you are thinking of doing, or have done, in the long run it's the right path because it fosters trust and respect and dialogue and understanding and it encourages productive engagement and so in Durham, we've worked very hard over many years to create that environment," Selig said.
Selig said there are certainly situations where issues, particularly those relating to personnel, should be discussed in non-public session.
"But what a lot of communities don't understand is you have to say something. You have to provide some context that gives the public a sense of what's going on," Selig said.
Durham Town Councilor and longtime resident Bill Cote said he has worked with municipalities all over the state during his 20-year career.
"I understand there are some personnel issues that are confidential, but I think (municipalities) need to be much more open with that," Cote said, adding that this is particularly the case when taxpayer money is involved.
Cote and gives full credit to Selig for bringing an attitude of openness to Durham.
"I like to point to Durham as an example of how things can be done in municipal government," he said. "It works. Plain and simple."
New Hampshire Union Leader Staff Writer Ted Seifer and Correspondent Kimberly Houghton contributed to this report.

An industrial accident Friday night at Pacemaker Steel and Piping Company in Manchester left a Palmyra man seriously injured after he was trapped under stacks of bundled steel.
MANCHESTER — A Palmyra man remained in guarded condition Saturday evening at Strong Memorial Hospital following an industrial accident Friday night at Pacemaker Steel and Piping Company in Manchester, according to a hospital representative.
Ontario County sheriff's deputies said John E. Washburn, 48, of Palmyra, suffered serious leg injuries and possible internal injuries after he was pinned under stacks of bundled steel for at least 41 minutes while emergency responders worked to free him. Washburn was about halfway down a 20-foot bundle of rolled steel cutting straps when a nearby stack of steel rolled onto him, according to deputies.
When units arrived around 7:30 p.m. Friday, Washburn's lower leg was trapped by a 20-foot bundle of rolled steel weighing approximately 5,000 pounds, deputies said. He was also initially trapped by two larger bundles, weighing a total of 12,000 pounds, against his torso before coworkers removed them using a ceiling crane and chains, deputies said.
"We had to make sure before we moved anything that it wouldn't shift," said Manchester Fire Chief Harry Bowker. Rescue teams used cribbing — 4x4x18-foot pieces of oak — and placed it inside the steel to stabilize the pile.
Bowker said Washburn's co-workers "did an excellent job" using an overhead crane system to carefully lift the bundles of steel off him. Washburn sustained a foot injury and broken leg, Bowker said, but remained conscious while he was being extricated. He was taken by Mercy Flight to Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester.
Deputies said that in addition to "a serious lower leg injury," Washburn faces possible internal injuries.
"We're trained in rescue regardless of the situation, but when you have a crushing injury like this, there's definitely a time factor," said Bowker. "It's called the golden hour, and you have to get him out."
Responding to the scene were the Manchester Fire Department, Shortsville Fire and Ambulance, Finger Lakes Ambulance, Ontario County sheriff's deputies and Mercy Flight.
The accident is under investigation by the Ontario County Sheriff's Office, Pacemaker Steel and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Facts about Cat Adoption
Did you know that most cats in shelters and rescues are healthy and well-behaved, and are in the shelter through no fault of their own? Animal shelters and rescue groups are full of lovable, active and healthy adoptable cats and kittens just waiting for someone to take them home. Many people go to a pet store or a Cymric cat breeder looking to purchase a cat or kitten, but don't realize that they might find a Cymric or similar looking cat right in their local shelter. Many cats are given up when their prior owner can no longer afford the financial requirements to keep them. Other times cats are given up to shelters due to a divorce, death in the family, or new housing situation. Most cats and kittens in shelters are simply in need of a new home – they just want a safe, loving, and happy place to live!
Cymric Cat and Kitten Adoption Makes a Friend Forever
Ask anybody who has ever adopted a pet, and they'll swear to you that the bond they have with their rescued animal is as deep as they come. When you open your heart and home to an adopted cat who needs help, that cat will show appreciation for the rest of his/her life! Cats who have been uprooted from their homes or have had a difficult start at life are likely to bond deeply and be completely loyal to their new human caretakers. After all, when you adopt you become their hero! This is true no matter the breed of mix of the cat. So no matter what circumstances brought a kitten or cat to be homeless, Cymric cats and kittens for adoption are still loving and lovely pets, extremely affectionate and attentive, making wonderful companions.
Plus, when you adopt a Cymric cat or adopt a Cymric kitten from an animal shelter or from a rescue group, you're saving more than just one life. That's right! If you take home a cat or kitten from a pet rescue or animal shelter, you're allowing that organization to then have space for another cat. Therefore, by adopting one, there is a domino affect and you give other pets a second chance, too! Adoption is truly a continuous life-saving cycle.
A Smarter Option than Buying from a Pet Store:
Many pet stores get their cats from large breeding operations called kitten mills. What's a kitten mill? It's basically a factory farm for pets. The cats are kept in small cages and forced to breed at unhealthy rates. Female cats in kitten mills are made to have several litters per year, which is extremely dangerous, unnatural, and cruel. Kitten mills also pay little attention to the health and temperament issues related to overbreeding, issues which often cause lifetime problems in the cats. In the kitten mill business, mass-producing animals for profit is the name of the game. Remember, adoption is the most humane option!
The Benefits of Adopting an Adult Cymric Cat
If you're considering a Cymric for adoption, you probably have a good idea of what you want. You likely have lifestyle requirements and personality wishes for your Cymric cat. For instance, maybe you need to find a Cymric who loves dogs, or one who likes to be around other cats. This is where adopting an adult pet is such a benefit! When you adopt an adult cat from a rescue group or animal shelter, what you see is what you get. Adult cat personalities are already formed, and you'll be able to spot the characteristics you're looking for much easier than if you buy a Cymric kitten. Rescue organizations, and some shelters that provide pet adoption counseling are able to assess the personality of each cat, and will carefully match you up with the right cat to fit your needs. Adult pets are a known quantity.
Cat Adoption is More Affordable, Cats Are Trained, Socialized & Healthy
Even though living in a cat rescue situation isn't ideal, most rescues (and some animal shelters) try to make the cats more adjustable and adoptable. Sometimes they will expose the animals in their care to other animals in order to help socialize them, making them more playful and able to live with all types of pets. Also, many rescue organizations use foster homes. Foster homes are terrific because adoptable pets get to be socialized with children and other pets while in their temporary foster home, giving them essential experience and training before they go to their new adopted homes. This makes the transition to your home easier and smoother for both the adopted pet and you, the guardian. Whether in a foster home, a boarding situation, or a shelter, many cats available for adoption are already housebroken, litterbox trained and ready to go! This is one of the most positive aspects of pet adoption. Foster parents, have dedicated their time and energy to making pets more adoptable.

Gallery Wall Tutorial
But in the meantime I figured I'd share the way I hung the frames. I've wanted a gallery wall for a while now but I been afraid to just go for it. I know it made me very nervous (I have a slight anxiety about putting holes in the plaster) so I thought I'd share how I did it. This is not an original idea - its been done a million times but hopefully the step by step will help someone who is about to take the leap.
Step 1
I started by measuring the area on the wall I wanted to hang all the art within. Then I rolled out a large sheet of paper in that size on my bedroom floor. You could use brown postal or butcher paper - I used the backside of left over Christmas Wrapping paper taped together.
Time spent: 4 minutes to find my measuring tape, 1 minute to measure, 5 minutes to find where I put the wrapping paper & tape, 5 minutes to cut and tape it to size.
Step 2
Pull out all the artwork you want to use and arrange on the paper. I originally thought I was going to use one large frame a bunch of smaller ones..but it didn't look quite right. So I pulled the larger frame out and replaced with the ones you see here. There is no right or wrong here really - its just what looks right to you. If you can, take a digital photo of how you have arranged it.
Time spent: 5 minutes to pull out all the frames in my closet, 40 minutes to get the arrangement I wanted.
Step 3
Outline each frame with a felt tip pen or marker. Remove art and put aside.
Time spent: 1 minute
Step 4
Now comes the hard part. You have to figure out exactly where each nail should be so that the frame hangs exactly where you want it. So take each frame and measure from the top and sides of the frame to where the nail would go when its hung. Using that measurement, make a mark on your paper to note where the nail belongs. Be extra careful with your measurements.
Time spent: 1 frustrating hour
Step 5
Take your giant sheet of paper and affix it to the wall. Make sure its straight.
Time spent: 5 minutes
Step 6
Using the marks you carefully laid out, hammer the nails in.
Time spent: 5 minutes
Step 7
Hang your art. If you are like me, you will need to consult the photo you took in step 2 because you have already completely forgotten where each piece went.
Time spent: 10 minutes
Step 8
Rip off the paper like unwrapping a giant gift.
Time spent: 2 minute
Voila! You've done it! If you are like me you probably notice a problem or two - maybe you measured or put the nail in a few centimeters off. But who cares? The project is done and now you can have go have a cocktail!
This task felt very daunting to me before but now that I see it can be done fairly easily in less than 3 hours, I'm a convert. Obviously a larger wall would require more time but the same technique can be applied to just about any space. If you've been putting off your own gallery wall, I say go for it.

Great post. Love the finished product.ReplyDelete
What a wonderful tutorial! I never thought about hanging a gallery wall this way, and it certainly helps alleviate my nervousness about wayward holes in plaster.ReplyDelete
wow what a great tutorial!!! the best part is how you just tear off the paper once it's all hung. so genius!ReplyDelete
Thank you - a million times over for this. Seriously! I have a huge box and many other loose frames filled with artwork that was painted by my mother (she passed away in 2008). I haven't yet had the heart/ability to hang them all up, it's still a bit too hard. But seeing this gives me a perfect plan of attack and the desire to get started so thank you! I can't wait to have her artwork all displayed in my "woman cave". Currently we have about 5 of her pieces throughout the house but this will give me the how to I need to hang the rest of her artwork.ReplyDelete
THANK YOU! Your wall looks amazing!
A photo!? what a brilliant idea! I've been trying & trying to hang some plates and get soo frustrated each time, it drives me NUTS. Thanks for the tutorial, I think I can make it work this time..ReplyDelete
Genius! Thank you for posting and the end result looks fab!ReplyDelete
Thanks to following your blog, I can always come back to this when I'm ready to tackle the task;o)ReplyDelete
The frames look amazing together!
Great post. I love the pictures/frames you used. Great job mixing it up!ReplyDelete
Perfect! This will save me a lot of trouble. I am planning to do a wall in my dining room with photographs of some of our travels among other things.ReplyDelete
I loved your tutorial so much that I linked it to my own blog with information on my favorite art source, 20x200. Great post!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing this tip! I'm always stumped when it comes to hanging art on the wall (that's why all of my walls are bare).ReplyDelete
A wonderful tutorial, which I desperately need. I'm terrified, for some weird reason, of having to do this gallery wall over and over until it is right. Thanks.ReplyDelete
How clever!! The end result looks fabulous too.ReplyDelete
jules :)
wow great post - I am going to try and do this!ReplyDelete
Great post! I have plans to do something similar in my dining room! I'm still collecting frames and art.ReplyDelete
Sweet! And thank you for being honest about the time and energy it took! I wing it when it comes to hanging objet d'art, but that's probably because we haven't dealt with our row house walls yet! I bet I'll feel VERY differently when all things vertical are skimcoated!ReplyDelete
Naz - I didn't really pick these per se. They were ones I had hanging around. Most of them were owned by my father.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous11:01 AM
Thanks so much for the tip! I've been following your blog for a while and love your honesty and great ideas! We hung 4 framed objects in my daughter's room and I had to call in my dad (who's an architect and great with measurements) to do the job right. Now I have a better plan for next time!ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Thanks! Now I know what to do instead of calling my Father.ReplyDelete
Ugh, now I remember why I don't have a gallery wall in my house yet. I have plans for one in my office so I'll mark this post and come back to it later. Are your hanging skills for hire? :)ReplyDelete
You're awesome!ReplyDelete
Divine inspiration! I love this idea....and your home is simply breathtaking.ReplyDelete
what a great idea!? I have been anxious about doing something similar over the sofa in the den ... still in the process of collecting ornate antique frames - any sources you love?!ReplyDelete
I love this! I just found it through your posts of the year post :) About that frustrating hour of figuring out where the nail holes go... my hubby got this http://www.amazon.com/Under-Roof-Decorating-6-100101-Picture/dp/B001IULRHQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1293815882&sr=8-1 for Christmas this year - seems like it might make that frustrating hour only an easy few minutes!!! Wahoo!ReplyDelete
I've always cut out an individual piece of paper for each frame, but arranging them all on one giant piece of paper is genius! Finally going to tackle the gallery wall project I've been putting off for months.ReplyDelete
And a tip for nail placement: Drive a screw or nail through one end of a paint stirrer. Hang the picture on the paint stirrer-screw with the pointy end towards the wall. When you have the picture placed just so, press the paint stirrer-screw into the wall so it makes a divet. Now you know exactly where to hammer in the nail.
- Michelle10:09 PM
I sprayed all my frames black at least 9 months ago, printed out all my fav photos in black and white at least 2 months ago. But said frames and photos are still tacked and ready to be hung on the wall. After the hours it took to prep and paint those walls to perfection I just cant bring myself to hammer in a dozen nails! Your idea with the paper is great I will certainly be using that. Now just to work up the courage to do it ....!ReplyDelete
- clairefromthecolonies7:09 PM
Just what I needed! Thanks ;) I have been dithering about taking the hammer and hook to the 101 year old lathe and plaster walls in our house so I have only hung on, or very near, previous holes ... so you have done me a great service - my collections will soon be curated and on view!ReplyDelete
Its a door I turned into a desk. If you look at other posts re: this room you'll see more about it - I found it in the garbage, stripped it and put it on trestle legs.ReplyDelete
I just found your blog 3 days ago, and since I was so inspired, I completed a gallery wall tonight using your suggestions. Your blog is either one of my best, or most dangerous recent internet finds! I love your diy projects, pics, and especially Halloween ideas. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Wonderful tutorial! I think I may have the courage to try this now. Thank you so much!ReplyDelete

EVERETT, Wash. — Will Allen, a former pro basketball player who has become a leader in the urban farming movement, will deliver the keynote address at the Nov. 21 Focus on Farming Conference.
Allen grew up on a small vegetable farm in Rockville, Md., played basketball for the University of Miami and was drafted in 1971 by the Baltimore Bullets of the NBA.
After playing pro basketball and a career in marketing, Allen purchased Growing Power, a derelict plant nursery on the north side of Milwaukee, Wis. He also purchased a 100-acre farm in nearby Oak Creek.
He has developed Growing Power into a leading urban farming project, with a 40-acre farm in Merton west of Milwaukee, and an offshoot project in Chicago.
Linda Neunzig, agricultural coordinator for Snohomish County, said the county partnered with several organizations to bring in Allen, whose work has brought him grants from the MacArthur Foundation, the Ford Foundation and the Kellogg Foundation.
"We are fortunate to have him for the full day, and he'll be teaching an entire track," she said. His breakout sessions will cover vermicomposting, aquaponics, intense production methods and creating jobs.
Allen has developed farms on such places as parking lots and warehouses by using hydroponics, aquaponics and raised beds. Besides providing healthful food to the inner city, Growing Power is a training program for at-risk youths.
"There's so much interest. We have so much urban ag already," Neunzig said. "There's Seattle Tilth, some in Tacoma (and) rooftop gardens on the new food hub under construction in Everett.
"Urban farms provide not just access to food, but also food security. Many places around here are laced with rivers — one big disaster could take out all the bridges."
Other conference sessions will address the business of farming, season extension, livestock and nursery.

Nnamdi Asomugha said his experience with the Eagles is "not even close" to what he anticipated when he signed a lucrative contract before the 2011 season.
"I didn't know anybody, but everybody was on the same page that we were going to get it done first year out of there," Asomugha said. "Then we saw that we had to jell. Then we started to jell at the beginning of the season, things were on a roll, and we started losing, and that momentum went the other way around for us. I'm mentally strong because I haven't had the success in the league I've wanted since I was a rookie, so mentally, I've been able to deal with that and know, or believe, that it's going to turn around."
Asomugha said he's "fine" mentally and maintains belief that it will turn around. But Asomugha has been a source of frustration for fans who expected an elite cornerback when he signed. That hasn't always been the case in Asomugha's 1 1/2 seasons with the Eagles. He said fans are "just" in expecting from much him and being disappointed in the result, and that he holds himself to a higher standard than anyone else.
"If a fan has an issue with [how things have gone], they're not going to get me saying that's wrong," Asomugha said. "As a fan, I can look back to teams that I've liked, and when a player I've liked comes in, and expecting things to just change, and getting upset about that. So I can't be that guy and look at them and say, 'you can't be upset that we haven't won even though I haven't Superman on the field,' even though that's what's expected of me."
Asomugha said Philadelphia is where he wants to be, and that he does not regret coming to the Eagles. He said he does not wonder whether he'll be let go if there are changes in the organization, even though he's an aging player with an expensive contract. He emphasized his faith in things working out for him, although he hopes it happens in Philadelphia.
"I want to be around for this turnaround that I know is going to happen," Asomugha said. "My mind isn't there for, 'are you going to see it through?', what's going happen. It's just not there. But I definitely want to be here for it turning around, because I know it will."
Look for more in Saturday's Inquirer.

Easy-to-miss radar boxes give police heads up on where speeders have beenBy PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 22. 2013 10:41PM
MANCHESTER - Speed-limit scofflaws, take note.
Since 2007, Manchester has been deploying two radar devices called Speed Sentry that count vehicles and record their speeds as they pass by.
About the size of a case of beer, the devices are easy for drivers to miss, but Speed Sentry won't miss any vehicle within about 500 yards of its location. And unlike speed board trailers, which flash a vehicle's speed in an obvious effort to alert the driver, each 18-inch-square, 12-inch-deep Speed Sentry box is mounted on the metal post beneath a stop sign.
Although Sentry boxes don't do more than tally traffic volume and record speeds - they can't report a vehicle's make, model or color, and they can't tell who is driving or even get a license plate number - police can use the information that is collected to determine the best times and locations to catch speeders.
"It doesn't do us any good to have someone in a cruiser in a neighborhood at 3 in the afternoon if the highest volume of speeding cars go through at 10 in the morning," said Lt. Maureen Tessier, Manchester police spokeswoman.
Similar devices are also in use in Concord, Nashua, Londonderry and Laconia.
Here's how the process works: Police receive calls, letters or emails from residents complaining about speeders along their street. Police mount a Speed Sentry on a stop-sign post in the area. Data is collected over a few days, downloaded, and fed into a program at police headquarters.
Officials then analyze the results and look for patterns. If they can isolate specific times when speeding is at its worst, they can post a cruiser accordingly.
Instead of a police officer waiting all day to write seven tickets, police can use the radar information to patrol for two hours and write the same number of tickets, Tessier said.
"It generates a nice report," said Tessier. "Very easy to review, broken down by hours, days and locations."
Each Speed Sentry device costs about $4,000. Manchester's were purchased in 2007 by then-Lt. (now Capt.) Jon Hopkins of the Traffic Division.
The signs are rotated to various locations every few days. They were most recently deployed in Manchester near the intersections of Platts Avenue and Candia Road, and Kelley and Kimball streets.
Tessier said the units can flash like a speed board, if desired. "There's also a stealth mode," she said. "That's when the lights are turned off, and it just records data on number of cars and how fast they are going. When the speed is being shown, people have a tendency to slow down as they approach it. When it's off, you get a more accurate picture of how traffic is moving through the area."
Tessier said the units can help police determine whether a neighborhood needs a stop sign or drivers are ignoring one already in place.
"We'll get requests from the Traffic Division asking us to set one up," said Tessier. "Again, if there's already a stop sign there, it doesn't record who is going through the sign, just whether anyone is (not stopping) based on the speed of the vehicle. It's just collecting data."
She said the units have a range of 500 yards, so the speed of a car driving toward a stop sign can be detected from that far away and measured right up to the sentry position on the signpost.
"Because of the range they have, they can monitor speed of cars a good distance away," said Tessier. "If they are on a stop sign, we might not be watching how well the sign works. It might just have been the easiest spot to set one of them up."
The data collected has directly led to speed enforcement efforts in specific locations in the Queen City.
"One area was South Mammoth Road," said Lt. Jim Flanagan of the Traffic Division. "We received complaints of people speeding along that area, set up the Sentry boxes, and when we looked at the numbers decided to allocate resources, when available, to that location for enforcement. We took a similar approach after data was collected along River Road."
Flanagan said he couldn't directly attribute speeding fines or traffic violations issued in an area to the fact that a Sentry box had been set up there prior to conducting enforcement activities.
"We don't assess or follow up with how many tickets were generated because sometimes just the presence of a cruiser and officer in an area is enough to get people to slow down," said Flanagan. "That's a success, without a fine being issued."
Manchester isn't the only community using such devices. Nashua police deploy a StealthStat device to monitor neighborhood traffic and are happy with the results.
"We only have one right now, but we're looking to purchase two more," said Nashua police Capt. Bruce Hansen of that city's Traffic Division. "We set it up for three or four days at a time. If drivers can see their speed, your data can be skewed. Sometimes they speed up just to see how high they can get the numbers to go. One time, a kid stopped to throw a baseball near our speed board to see how fast he could throw it."
StealthStat information has been useful, Hansen said.
"West Hollis Street was one area that generated some staff time," said Hansen. "We looked at times in the day with the highest number of cars, then put an officer in place."
Concord also has two devices.
"They are used for counting cars and measuring speed only," said Concord Lt. Tim O'Malley. "They don't collect data on the drivers, the makes and models of the vehicles, or anything else."
Londonderry doesn't have any radar boxes, but deploys JAMAR traffic data recorders.
"It utilizes two tubes that stretch across the road," said Londonderry police Lt. Tim Jones. "The tubes attach to a box that is usually chained to a telephone pole, and when cars pass over, it records the numbers and speed of passage. We can use the data to see if the area is in need of traffic enforcement. We generally only use it when we receive a complaint about speeding. We don't put the device out too often because of the wear and tear on the hoses."
Laconia Detective Sgt. Scott Roy said his department has one unit it regularly deploys to collect traffic statistics.
New Hampshire isn't the only state using stealth radar boxes. Calls to police barracks in Burlington, Vt., Portland, Maine, and Framingham, Mass., confirmed they are deployed in those states, along with North Haven, Conn. Annual department reports posted online show they are also used in Ohio, North Carolina and Arizona.
"We have one StealthStat unit," said Framingham Police Chief Steven Carl. "We usually attach it to a telephone pole, then if the data we receive points to a problem, we'll assign an officer to that area."

Laconia auto accident claims life of 14-year-old girlBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 19. 2013 9:16PM
LACONIA — A 14-year-old girl died Friday from injuries she suffered when a motorist swerved out from behind a stopped car and hit her and another girl while they were crossing Messer Street, police Capt. Matt Canfield said.
Lilyanna Johnson of Laconia, died of her injuries after being flown to Dartmouth-Hitchock Medical Center in Lebanon, police said late Friday. The other girl, Alyssa Miner, also 14, of Laconia, was in serious condition at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Friday night, police said.
Canfield said a car had stopped at a crosswalk to allow the girls to cross the street as they were walking home from school about 2:30 p.m. Friday.
He said another car, driven by Amy Lafond, 57, of 10 River St., "suddenly veered" from behind the stopped car and hit one of the girls, then hit a guardrail, ricocheted and hit the second girl. The second girl -- police did not specify in releases which girl was hit first -- was flung into the air, landed on the car's hood and windshield and was thrown to the pavement. The car hit the guardrail on the other side of the street before coming to a rest, Canfield said.
The girls were flown to Dartmouth-Hitchock Medical Center in Lebanon. Johnson died from her injuries about 8:30 p.m. Friday, while Miner was in serious condition Friday night, Canfield said. Lafond was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital for treatment.
A police press release said grief counselors would be at Laconia Middle School from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today "for all of those affected by this tragedy." Lafond hasn't yet been charged in connection to the incident, he said.
