When Carissa Phelps was 12, she dropped out of seventh grade in the small town of Coalinga, Calif. Her homelife was dysfunctional and soon, she ran away.
Her life on the streets took its toll, and before long the unthinkable happened: she was kidnapped by a pimp and forced into prostitution.
Today, Phelps is a success story. She graduated summa cum laude from college and went on to earn a combined law and business degree from UCLA. That remarkable story is the subject of a new book called Runaway Girl: Escaping Life on the Streets, One Helping Hand at a Time.
The worst of it began when she was coerced and taken in by a pimp called Icey. "He just basically told me their sad story," Phelps told weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz.
He needed help getting his car out of impound, Icey told her, but his girlfriend couldn't make the money because she was pregnant. So Phelps agreed. "It was supposed to be just one night, and it turned into 10 horrible days."
She said grown men didn't seem to be put off by the fact that she was just 12 years old. "The thing is, it was normal to them, and it seemed normal to all these people that were on the streets," she said. "They didn't care about my age. All they cared about was that they were buying — buying time with me to do whatever they wanted."
Phelps only escaped the situation when she was in a car with Icey and they were pulled over. Icey gave a fake name, but the fake name had a warrant. The police arrested Phelps as well. "I was put in the back of a police car ... and he sat in one police car right next to me. And I felt like I was a criminal just as much as he was."
Her life wouldn't turn around for another few years yet. After she returned home, she tried to go back to high school, but soon dropped out again. "I was trying to make sense of my life," she said, "and became involved with more gangs and different types of crime, not just shoplifting. So the next year was just basically spiraling downward. Nobody believed me, what had happened on to me [on] the streets." Another low point came when she and a few friends were arrested for joyriding in a stolen car.
Then, Phelps had her lucky moment. For the joyriding incident, she received a six-month sentence to a juvenile hall, where she was sent to school.
"For the very first time, my counselors were consistent, and I was able to get into therapy, go into family therapy, group therapy, with other little girls who had similar experiences, and just receive help for what had happened."
After finishing her sentence, Phelps went on to graduate from high school on time and graduate summa cum laude from Fresno State University. When she first arrived to UCLA for law and business school, one of her fellow students was a filmmaker named David Sauvage.
He was interested in filming a documentary, and when Phelps briefly suggested herself as a subject, Sauvage off-handedly replied, "Well, unless you were a child prostitute, it's all been told before."
"When he said that I just, I just was silent because I'd never considered myself a prostitute," Phelps recalled. "I knew what had happened to me, I'd been kidnapped by a pimp and I had been forced into prostitution and I knew the other things that had happened. But I'd never considered myself a child prostitute."
Sauvage indeed made a documentary about Phelps, the 2008 film Carissa.
Since completing her degrees, Phelps has committed herself to working with teenagers with the very kind of troubles she used to have. "I think that I'm supposed to bring this message and I really do feel like I was just a visitor in that life, in that time, to bring out the voice of kids who have been voiceless."
It's WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Guy Raz. When Carissa Phelps was just 12 years old, she dropped out of middle school in the small town of Coalinga, California. Her home life was dysfunctional, and soon, she began to run away, sometimes for weeks at a time.
CARISSA PHELPS: When you go out on the streets, it's very exhilarating. It felt like a great high. And then all of a sudden, you realize you have to have a place to sleep. And at first, it was like we would sleep in community hospital lobby or someplace that could be open for 24 hours, somewhere we could just curl up and be warm for a little while, just to make it through those tough hours in the night. And then when the sun would come up again, we were walking the streets.
RAZ: Today, Carissa Phelps is a success story. She eventually earned double degree in business at law in UCLA. But for a period of time in her childhood, she was forced into prostitution. She tells that story in her new book. It's called "Runaway Girl." And what happened began when she was coerced and then taken in by a pimp named Icey.
PHELPS: He just basically told me their sad story about how they needed money to get a car out of impound and that his current girlfriend couldn't make the money because she was pregnant and that I could really help them a lot, he said, if I could go out onto the street. So he tried to make me feel like I was contributing something, that I would be helping them. And so it was supposed to just be one night, and it turned into 10 horrible days.
RAZ: You were just 12 years old.
PHELPS: Yes.
RAZ: And there were grown men who...
PHELPS: Yes, yeah. The thing is it was normal to them, and it seemed normal to all these people that were on the streets. They didn't care about my age. All they cared about was that they were buying time with me to do whatever they wanted. And for Icey, I think he wanted to feel that control. He definitely wanted to feel like he owned me, that I belonged to him. And it gave him this sense of power and control over me.
RAZ: How did you get out of that situation?
PHELPS: We were pulled over by a police officer, and I was arrested. I was put in back of a police car. And he was also arrested because he had given a name, a false name but that had a warrant. And he sat in one police car right next to me, and I felt like I was a criminal as much as he was.
RAZ: Even though you were his victim.
PHELPS: Right.
RAZ: How did you eventually get out? I mean, you eventually went and got a business degree and a law degree at UCLA, and now, you're a lawyer and an advocate. I mean, how did you get from that point and that police car to where you are now?
PHELPS: Well, it was a journey. The next year was really bad. I just got into worse and worse crime. I was trying to make sense of my life and became involved with more gangs and with different types of crimes, not just shoplifting. So the next year was just basically spiraling downward. Nobody believed me, what had happened to me on the streets. It got really, really bad until I received a six-month sentence in juvenile hall.
And just by chance, I was one of four girls sentenced to a boys' program - a school for boys - that was in our juvenile hall facility for the very first time. My counselors were consistent. I was able to get into therapy, go into family therapy, group therapy with other little girls who had similar experiences and just receive help for what had happened. But I also only went forward with all that help because I met a counselor while I was in there.
RAZ: This is Ron Jenkins.
PHELPS: Ron Jenkins, yes.
RAZ: Who recognized your intelligence and your potential.
PHELPS: He did, way before I did. He definitely did.
RAZ: When you are in graduate school at UCLA, you had a friend there, David Savage, and he was a filmmaker. And you had approached him about making a documentary about your life. He said - and you write this in the book - he said offhandedly, well, unless you're a child prostitute, it's all been told before.
PHELPS: Yeah. That gives me chills still. When he said that, I just was silent, because I had never considered myself a prostitute. I knew what had happened to me. I had been kidnapped by a pimp, and I had been forced into prostitution. But I never considered myself, you know, a child prostitute. I don't even think that that makes any sense to call a child a prostitute. But I understood what he was getting at.
So unless I had been sexually exploited, it had all been told before. And I chose, after a couple of days, to tell him more of the story and tell him why I wanted to go back to those streets with a camera.
RAZ: It's estimated there are as many as - possibly more - 300,000 children who are forced into prostitution in this country, which is an unbelievable statistic when you think about it. And you essentially have devoted your life to both eradicating it and helping people understand what this is about.
PHELPS: Yeah. And I've come to realize that all over the world, kids that - especially the runaway and delinquent kids that end up on the street end up being just consumed by people that are exploiting them. And so I work directly with youth and try to offer them some hope, hopefully get them into therapy and process a lot of the stuff that's happened to them.
RAZ: You could easily have fallen through the cracks, even after you were sent to juvenile detention. The unlikely scenario that you would eventually get a dual degree in business and law from UCLA is real. I mean, that was not supposed to happen to you.
PHELPS: No. And that's why I just feel so blessed and also responsible about what I do next and how I leave this world. You know, I think that I'm supposed to bring this message. And I really do feel like I was just a visitor in that life, in that time to bring out the voice of kids that have been voiceless.
RAZ: Carissa Phelps' new book is called "Runaway Girl: Escaping Life on the Streets One Helping Hand at a Time." Carissa, thank you so much.
PHELPS: Thank you, Guy. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Authorities are investigating Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, after a photo surfaced earlier this month of their fully-clothed 13-year-old daughter, Willow, lying on a bed with the shirtless, 20-year-old former "Hannah Montana" actor Moises Arias, according to RadarOnline.
"The investigation was formally opened last week (by Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services) and is being taken very seriously by the department," a source told Radar. "Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have been extremely cooperative with officials. Of course, they aren't happy that their parenting skills are under scrutiny, but they understand."
The source also said, "Social workers will also be talking separately with Willow, and they also want to talk to the young man in the picture with her as well."
It's a good thing the authorities in the great city of Los Angeles have nothing better to do than spend time investigating famous people's seemingly-innocent online photos.
Then again, if that was my daughter ...
Willow's mother Jada defended the picture shortly after it went viral, saying there was "nothing sexual about it."
Radar reported the source said, "This won't just be one or two visits with the family, and it will likely be an open investigation for at least a month, out of an abundance of caution."
Right. Well, at least they aren't using their names to push their kids into the film business.
Photographers asked Pinkett Smith about the photo on May 7 after she arrived at Los Angeles International Airport.
"Here's the deal," she said, in a video shown on TMZ. "There was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation. You guys are projecting your trash onto it ... and you're acting like covert pedophiles and that's not cool."
But having a shirtless 20-year-old guy in bed with your 13-year-old daughter is cool, apparently.
TMZ reported a source saying Willow's parents had "no issue" with the photo, and that Willow is "very mature." The couple say the photo was "an expression of art" and "innocent fun."

Junior Christine Wixted paced the short-handed women's team, winning the 100 and 200-yard breaststroke events in addition to the 200 individual medley for the second straight meet, while junior Hunter Knight swept both breaststroke titles and classmate Steven Gasparini added first-place finishes in the 100 backstroke and 200 individual medley to lead the Duke men.
"We knew that NC State, after watching the way they've been performing this fall, not only do they have some really talented athletes but they're also extremely deep," said head coach Dan Colella. "Our goal with them was just to really race hard, and I think our swimmers did a good job of that ... For our women to stand up and beat an ACC opponent was huge. I'm really proud of what the women did today."
The Blue Devils gained momentum early on, as Gasparini broke 50 seconds in a first-place finish in the 100 backstroke. A product of Yorktown, Pa., Gasparini recorded a time of 49.88 to just out-touch Ivan Kopas of NC State and collect his first individual win against an ACC opponent since transferring to Duke a year ago. Meanwhile, sophomore Megan McCarroll posted a season-best time of 56.29 to place second in the same event on the women's side. She also registered her best mark of the season in the 200 backstroke, touching in 2:03.15 to take first.
In the women's 100 breaststroke, Wixted bested her own pool record at 1:02.01 for her best clocking of the season and an NCAA provisional qualifying standard. She remains undefeated in the event on the year, having placed first at the 100-yard distance three times in as many meets. The Greenwood Village, Colo., native completed the sweep of the breaststroke events later in the afternoon, taking the 200 in a season-best time of 2:16.50.
Junior Hunter Knight turned in a first-place showing in the men's 100 breaststroke, notching a time of 55.92 for his best mark of the season and his third win of the year in the event. He also collected a first-place finish at the 200-yard distance, swimming 2:05.95, while senior Jim Zuponeck came in third at 2:06.97.
Duke also excelled in the sprint freestyle events, as junior Lauren Weaver took home the title in the 50 freestyle at 23.24 and freshman Kathryn Eckhart came in fourth while recording her best mark of the season at 24.05. A short while later, Weaver tapped the wall at 52.55 in the 100 freestyle for her best time of the season and a third-place finish. Senior Adam Flur paced the men with a third-place performance in the 50 freestyle (21.13), followed by freshman Romain Decrop in fourth (21.17).
Freshman Kiera Molloy shaved nearly four seconds off of her performance last week in the 1,000 freestyle, touching at 10:21.36 to finish second. The rookie from Raleigh, N.C., also placed fourth at the 500-yard distance in a season-best 5:05.64. In the men's 1,000 freestyle, senior Alex Harmon finished third at 9:43.91 and rookie Kevin Butz edged NC State's Brian Via to come in fourth (9:48.74), while sophomore Michael Donnalley led the Blue Devils in the 500 freestyle with a fourth-place finish (4:44.21).
The 100 butterfly events included a second-place showing by Gasparini (50.49) and a third-place effort from freshman Linsay Cooper (57.38). The Blue Devils then closed out the individual swimming events with a pair of first-place performances in the 200 individual medley as Wixted (2:05.32) and Gasparini (1:52.83) cruised to wins.
Senior Jordan Long earned a first-place finish in the men's 3-meter diving competition, receiving an NCAA Zone Diving Championships qualifying mark of 362.95 to lead the Duke divers. Freshman Deon Reid placed fourth in the men's 1-meter competition (278.20), followed by sophomore Clay Pinckney in fifth (273.40). On the women's side, rookies Kendall McClenney and Jaimee Gundry finished fifth and seventh, respectively on the 1-meter board and notched sixth and seventh-place performances at the 3-meter height.
"Jordan had a great day today," said head diving coach Drew Johansen. "He keeps putting up scores that we want to be seeing in the postseason. [The freshmen] are slowly building into their complete lists that they're using and learning the whole collegiate competitive experience."
After the Blue Devil men and women each raced to second-place finishes in the 200 medley relays at the beginning of the meet, the men rounded out the afternoon with a first-place performance in the 400 freestyle relay, as the team of Decrop, Donnalley, freshman Sam Skinner and Flur posted a time of 3:05.94.
"We had some really solid medley relays," Colella said. "We were short a couple of bodies there because of illness, but those that stepped in did a great job."
The Duke women move to 2-3 overall and 1-2 against ACC opponents after Saturday's meet, while the men's squad falls to 1-3 overall and 0-3 in conference action.
Following nearly two weeks of preparation, the Duke swimmers will resume action Nov. 15-17 at the Tennessee Invitational in Knoxville, Tenn. Meanwhile, the program's divers will compete Nov. 15-17 at the Nike Cup Invitational in Durham and Chapel Hill.

ACC Championship Results
NEW LONDON, N.C. -- The Duke men's golf team, No. 9 in the latest Golfstat rankings, posted a final round 284 (-4) Sunday in rain soaked conditions at Old North State Club to overcome a four-shot deficit and capture the 2013 ACC Championship. Junior Austin Cody recorded birdies on No. 13, No. 14 and No. 16 to lead the back nine surge that gave Duke's its first ACC title since 2005.
"The guys on our team loved the opportunity today," said head coach Jamie Green. "In practice this is what you tell your players they're working for. It was a lot of fun on the back nine out there. There were some birdies made and some nip and tuck, but when you got to that final hour, it was just a survival test."
With a steady rain throughout the day turning into downpour conditions over the final three holes of play, Duke battled back from a late round three-stroke deficit to claim the tournament crown with a school-record 25-under 839. No. 14 Florida State, the 18 and 36 hole leader, finished tied for second with Virginia Tech at 22-under. Defending champions Georgia Tech finished fourth at 13-under followed by Clemson (859), Virginia (862), North Carolina (869), Wake Forest (872), N.C. State (881), Maryland (883) and Boston College (896).
Duke and Florida State engaged in a back-and-forth battle for the league crown throughout the day with Virginia Tech climbing into the mix and Georgia Tech hanging around through the first 14 holes of the day. Cody's back nine play with six pars and three birdies keyed the Blue Devils despite heavy rains and wind late in the round. Duke suffered a handful of bogeys in the downpour conditions, but made several key pars saves and avoided the big numbers that plagued Florida State and Georgia Tech down the stretch.
Anders Albertson of Georgia Tech claimed individual medalist honors with a 15-under 201 to finish five shots better than Mikey Moyers (Virginia Tech) and Chase Seiffert (Florida State). Duke senior Adam Sumrall placed fifth with an eight-under 208, while classmates Brinson Paolini and Julian Suri were tied for seventh at five-under (211).
Sumrall and Cody paced the Blue Devils Sunday with two-under 70s, while Paolini and freshman Mads Soegaard posted even-par 72s. Suri, playing in the final group of the day, posted a two-over 74. He was two-under in the round after birdies on No. 8, No. 9 and No. 10, before dropping four strokes while playing in the worst weather conditions of the final round.
Sumrall carded four birdies, including three on the opening nine holes of play, en route to his three straight under-par round of the event. The South Bend, Ind., native finished the tournament with just three over-par holes, while posting a career-best 208 (-8). He now has three top 5 finishes and nine rounds of under-par golf this season.
Cody opened the day with a bogey and made the turn at one-over before turning things around. After clawing back to one-under with birdies on No. 13 and No. 14, he sank a 40-foot putt on No. 16 and made a pair of pars putts from inside 10 feet to cap of the round. Cody concluded the ACC Championship tied for 17th with a one-under 215.
"It was a tough day the whole back nine," said Cody. "I knew it was going to play tough so I stayed patient and took what the course gave me. It is an awesome feeling with the seniors here because I know how bad they wanted to win an ACC Championship. We all played great and it's a great feeling to know that all the hard work we put in has payed off."
Paolini, a Virginia Beach, Va., native, record his third top 10 finish in the ACC Championship at Old North State Club. He played steady golf throughout Sunday in recording his team-leading 17th round of even-par or better golf. With the even-par 72, Paolini also matched the Duke career record with 21 career even-par rounds.
"It is so special to be able to share this win with the other seniors," Paolini said. "We've grown really close over our four years and this is the perfect way for us to go out."
Soegaard got off to a terrific start in the final round back-to-back birdies. Following a bogey on No. 3, he added birdies on No. 6 and No. 8 to make the turn at three-under. Soegaard dropped a stroke on No. 10 but recovered with six straight pars. He ended the day with back-to-back bogeys as the wind and rain picked up late in the afternoon. Soegaard wrapped up his first ACC Championship with a one-under 215 to tie for 17th.
Duke returns to action May 16-18 with NCAA Regional Championship play. Regional locations and seedings will be announced May 6.
"I owe a lot to Rod Myers (former Duke coach) and his staff who built this program," said Green. "O.D. Vincent was there a short time before I came and he recruited some of these players, especially the seniors. I was fortunate enough to walk in and have some good players. We built a little bit on that and I think we have a very deep team, where a lot of guys can go into the lineup and perform well."

5 Teens Arrested in Robbery & Attack of Oregon Gay Man
Police have arrested five teenagers who allegedly attacked and robbed a 24-year-old gay man from the Portland suburb of Gresham, Ore., Portland station KGW reported.
A SWAT team arrested the teens after Adam Salnardi called 911 on Friday to report that he was attacked and robbed by five masked people with weapons. Police say that four males and one female brandished guns before physically assaulting Salnardi. The group also stole his wallet, cell phone and other items.
Salnardi told KOMO News that he thought he "was going to die" once he saw the guns and said the attackers may have been motivated by his sexual orientation.
"I only had $10 in my wallet. When I was on the ground, they called me a faggot and just calling me rude names," he said.
Police arrested Justin Simms, 19, three 16-year-old males and a 14-year-old female. The five teens face robbery, assault and intimidation charges, according to the police report.
KOMO also reported that Salnardi was under the impression he was meeting a man to have sex. Salnardi arranged the hookup date after talking to the stranger online and planned to meet him in a local park.
"Next thing I know, I'm getting socked from behind," he told KOMO News. "First, I see these guys standing behind these trees. They start punching me. I fall to the ground."
Investigators say the suspects lured Salnardi via a dating website "under the ruse he would be meeting a homeless man who needed help," KOMO News writes.
"We were just talking and he told me wanted to hang out, that he was homeless, I thought maybe I'd be able to help him and I just go there to meet him," Salnardi said.
Police say that the teens may have attacked another gay man in the same area by using the same ploy.
"Maybe they don't want people knowing about it, maybe they feel ashamed, but I'm here to take a stand," Salnardi said.
It appears this isn't the first time Salnardi has been the victim of a possible hate crime. Fox's Portland Ore., affiliate KPTV reported in 2011 that he claimed a group of six men approached him and hurled anti-gay slurs towards him as he was pulling into his friend's driveway.
"They were jumping on my car, kicking it, popped my tires," Salnardi told the station. "If they would have gotten to me, I could have been hurt."
His friend witnessed the alleged attack and ran outside to help Salnardi, who was still inside his vehicle. Salnardi said that repairs to his car were estimated at a few thousand dollars. "I just bought this car too, two months ago," he said. "Now look at it."
Gresham, Ore., is also the home of Sweet Cakes Bakery, which made national headlines this month after its owner Aaron Kline refused to sell a lesbian couple a wedding cake after he discovered it would be for their wedding.

NO. 21 MICHIGAN STATE 67, N0. 7 KANSAS 64: Keith Appling scored 19 points, including a brilliant drive with 13.5 seconds left, and No. 21 Michigan State rebounded from a season-opening loss with a 67-64 upset of No. 7 Kansas on Tuesday night.
The Jayhawks (1-1) led 59-54 with 5 minutes remaining, showing signs of taking control in a game that was tight all the way. But Michigan State (1-1) rebounded behind its brilliant guards.
Freshman Gary Harris scored 18 points, including back-to-back baskets that sparked an 8-0 run. Down the stretch, it was all Appling.
He confused the Kansas defense playing off a screen, winding up with an open 3-pointer with 1:35 remaining that pushed Michigan State to a 65-61 lead. Ben McLemore converted a three-point play, but Travis Releford missed a potential tying 3 at the buzzer.
Elijah Johnson led Kansas with 16 points.
Kansas center Jeff Withey, who played so well in last season�s NCAA tournament, wasn�t much of a factor. He was held to eight points and seven rebounds, along with four turnovers.
NO. 5 MICHIGAN 77, CLEVELAND STATE 47: Tim Hardaway Jr. had 17 points and six rebounds, and Michigan advanced to the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-Off with a victory over Cleveland State.
It was the third straight victory by at least 30 points for the Wolverines (3-0), who shot 51 percent against a Cleveland State (2-1) team coming off an overtime win the day before.
Nik Stauskas scored 15 points, and Trey Burke added 12 points and seven assists for Michigan, which broke off a 29-5 run to finish the first half for a 42-14 lead at the break.
Anton Grady led the Vikings with 15 points.
Michigan was 25 of 40 from 3-point range in its first two games but only 9 of 24 Tuesday.
NO. 14 MISSOURI 91, ALCORN STATE 54: Phil Pressey scored 21 points and Laurence Bowers added 14 � all in the second half � to help Missouri rout Alcorn State.
After a rough first half, the Tigers (2-0) pulled away from the Braves. Missouri made just nine of its 39 attempts before the break and held a seven-point halftime advantage thanks to Pressey�s deep 3-pointer with three seconds left.
Bowers hit three 3-pointers in the second half to help Missouri take command. The Tigers used an 18-3 run after the half to blow the game open.
LeAntwan Luckett scored 14 points and Anthony Nieves added 13 for Alcorn State (1-1).
NO. 23 CONNECTICUT 67, VERMONT 49: Shabazz Napier scored 13 points and freshman Omar Calhoun added 12 to lead Connecticut over Vermont.
Holy Cross transfer R.J. Evans added 11 points and Tyler Olander had nine points and nine rebounds for UConn (2-0), which was playing its home opener after returning from Germany and an upset win over Michigan State last Friday in the Armed Forces Classic.
Luke Apfeld led Vermont (1-1) with nine points.
UConn�s smothering defense made the difference in this one. The Huskies held Vermont to 30 percent shooting and just 15 baskets after limiting the Spartans to 37.5 percent on Friday.
NO. 24 CINCINNATI 102, MVSU 60: Sean Kilpatrick scored 20 points and Cheikh Mbodj had four of Cincinnati�s seven blocks to help lead the Bearcats over Mississippi Valley State.
The Bearcats (2-0) took control with a 23-4 run in the first half that featured a pair of 3-pointers by Cashmere Wright. The point guard had all of his 11 points in the take-control half.
JaQuon Parker added 13 points for the Bearcats, who shot 53.7 percent and dominated the boards 51-25. Cincinnati had its highest point total since a 105-69 win over North Carolina A&T on Dec. 30, 2005, under interim coach Andy Kennedy.
Davon Usher and Darryl Marshall scored 13 points apiece for MVSU (0-2).

Turkish delight
Cultural center opens in ManchesterBy SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News March 23. 2013 9:32PM

MANCHESTER - The aroma of Turkish coffee - and the sound of Irish bagpipes - heralded the opening of the Turkish Cultural Center of New Hampshire in downtown Manchester Saturday afternoon.
The organization's new home, at 530 Chestnut St., will host Turkish language and cooking classes, seminars and book talks, "friendship dinners" and trips to Turkey - which natives spell "Turkiye."
Gov. Maggie Hassan was on hand for the event, cutting a ceremonial red ribbon and proclaiming Saturday as Turkish Cultural Day in New Hampshire. She told the center's organizers, "Your efforts to support the needs of the Turkish community and encourage mutual respect and understanding among all of our people by bringing everyone together in an open dialogue is a shining example of what makes New Hampshire so special.
"Inclusiveness has always been at the heart of New Hampshire's spirit because we understand that when you include the talent and energy of all people in the life of our state, we all get stronger," the governor said.
Nedim Aycaner, a board member of the TCCNH, said there are nearly 5,000 Turkish-Americans living in New Hampshire.
Eyup Sener, president of TCCNH, said the organization has been in existence for about a year. It has already brought investors to the state to research business opportunities here and plans to do so again in the near future, he said.
The group also hosted a trip to Turkey last year in which several lawmakers participated.
State Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, D-Manchester, praised the group's mission to promote inter-cultural relationships. "Together, we make a tremendous difference in what happens in this nation and in this world," he said.
Nese Togay of Portsmouth, who came to see the new cultural center, said Turkey has a rich history that Americans would appreciate.
"Even Santa Claus' grave is in Turkey," she said, referring to St. Nicholas.
Furkan Kosar, president of the Council of Turkic American Associations, noted this is the 45th such center to open in the United States. He said he hopes that second-generation Turkish-Americans will "serve the American society and give back whatever we have, whatever you gave us."
Kosar also asked Hassan about the proper pronunciation of her surname, which he suggested could sound Middle Eastern.
"It may help to know that it is Irish," she told him, adding, "It probably represents the migration of people from the Middle East to Spain and then Ireland over the last couple of millennia."
Burak Kararti, Turkish consul general in Boston, said America and Turkey share a mutual trust and a common vision "to promote peace, democracy, freedom and prosperity." The two nations stand together on combating terrorism, fighting illegal trafficking and opposing extremism, he said.
At the close of the official ceremony, Patrick Boyle of Durham and Bruce Irwin of Comer, Ga., members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, stepped forward to perform on bagpipes and drums.
The music was a tribute to the Ottoman sultan's decision in 1847 to send funds and cargo ships filled with food to the Irish people during the famine, Boyle said. The two were in town for today's St. Patrick's Day parade.
In an interview after the ceremony, Kararti said he welcomes the restoration of normal diplomatic relations with Israel.
That came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, on Friday to apologize for a deadly commando raid on a humanitarian aid ship bound for the Gaza Strip in 2010 that left nine Turkish citizens dead.
The apology "was an important step," Kararti said.
"We are friends and we will continue to be friends," he said. "Friends can criticize each other, but we are pleased that now after this apology and conversation, we will be able to normalize our relations."

LONGMONT -- Police are urging anyone with information about a hit-and-run that occurred on Main Street shortly after 10 p.m. New Year's Eve to contact them. The hit-and-run left a 16-year-old boy dead.
The boy, identified by family and friends as Denver resident Jason Grimmer, was struck by a car in the southbound lanes of the 2200 block of Main Street. Police are looking for a vehicle of unknown make and color and are seeking witnesses. Officers initially were looking for a light-colored Chevrolet van. They found the van but now believe it was probably not involved in the hit-and-run. Police do not yet have identifying information for the suspect vehicle and are turning to the public for help.
Officers responded to the area after receiving reports of a fight between a group of white males and a group of black males.
"There is the appearance that this may have been racially motivated," said Longmont Police Cmdr. Jeff Satur. "Some comments were exchanged" between the groups, he said.
Grimmer was running from the fight when he was struck by a vehicle heading south on Main Street, according to reports. An officer at the scene reported that he had suffered "massive head trauma." His white tennis shoes and red Chicago Bulls cap remained in the street after the incident.
About 50 people gathered Tuesday night in the bitter cold at the scene of the hit-and-run to remember Grimmer. Among them was a man who identified himself as Grimmer's grandfather but declined to give his name. He said Grimmer was living with his mother in Denver and used to attend Longmont High School.
Friends created a memorial at the site. It included a picture of Grimmer, flowers, candles and book for attendees to sign. Derek Baringa, a friend of Grimmer, read Psalm 25.
"Jason was an amazing person," Baringa said, adding that there were many people who cared about him who couldn't make it to the gathering.
Another attendee, Susan Southern, said Grimmer was friends with her sons.
"He was a respectful kid," she said.
Officers on Tuesday interviewed most of the people involved in the fight, Satur said. Fewer than a dozen people, mostly from Longmont, were involved, and, besides Grimmer, they ranged in age from 17 to 31, Satur said. Grimmer was the youngest of those involved. It appears the driver of the suspect vehicle was not connected to the fight, Satur said.
Call Longmont Police at 303-651-8501 with any information.
Quentin Young can be reached at 303-684-5319 or email@example.com.

With some developers prophesying the end of console gaming, suggesting that the next generation could indeed be the last, many are wondering where gaming will go over the next five, the next ten years.
Some say that it'll be mobile, with touch and gesture interfaces leading the way. The fact that over a billion people have downloaded Angry Birds and that there are barely a couple hundred million consoles owners, would to an outsider, seem as if that's already the case.
However some have suggested that Apple could soon be the next big name in gaming. Thanks to the introduction of its better than HD retina display technology, inclusion of high powered processors and more efficient Nvidia GPUs, perhaps in the future Mac's will be as common among "PC" gamers as the Windows operating system.
Of course, Macs basically are PCs, just with a different O/S and a closed internal hardware setup. In reality, when people talk about gaming on a Mac, they're really taking about gaming on OS X, the latest iteration of which, Mountain Lion, is being offered for a very small upgrade fee – making it much more accessible to the average Apple user who has likely already shelled out a lot of money for the hardware.
While the more technologically savvy PC gamer might laugh at Apple fans buying what could be considered overpriced kit, the average PC layman doesn't care what graphics card they have – they just want to run Skyrim at max settings. In this arena, while costly in comparison to building your own, Apple's desktops and notebooks could do very well, since the products look good, work well and come with that particular bit of Apple chic that fanboys lap up.
The fruity firm is also at the forefront of touch screen gaming, with its iPhone and iPad hardware being some of the most dominant in the market. Consoles like the Wii U and Xbox 360 with Microsoft's Smart Glass app, are now playing catchup, meaning we're likely to see a new generation of games released over the next few years that caters purely to this control type. While it's difficult to say if there are many real gems that stand out among games across all genres and mediums at the moment, it would be surprising if something didn't come along that blows everyone away soon enough.
If it does, you can guarantee it'll be Mac compatible, likely with a controller app similar to Microsoft's offering.
While the PC and consoles will continue to hold the foreground on gaming advances for a while yet, the increasing number of games being developed for both Mac and Windows – especially in the Indi arena – suggests that PC users won't be able to laugh at the limited library of titles playable on Apple laptops and desktops for much longer.
I'm just looking forward to Apple vs Windows gaming sessions. Which side will you be on?
Add new comment
thank you
5k or somthing that you can make that will last longer?
No chance will apple ever be able to become to future of gaming ... maybe on phones and handheld devices ect but never the hardcore stuff .... thats why peaple rather build there own PC's .... **** loads cheaper and lasts longer....other that parting out .... a massive 5 or so grand which will only last about what 2 years or so before it needs an upgrade?
Why do gamer always think
i guess your not using your computer for much
theese days you think a computer can keeep up for 5 years?!? and you say especially mac users! i opened 2 instances of XCODE on the fastest mac book pro on the market a few months ago and everything started lagging and in the end the computer froze and i had to cut the power on it. and no real mac user has his computer for more than 2 weeks after the new model is out. ( Apple makes prisons that people for some reason desides to lock them selves into )
Users != Developers. And yeah
Users != Developers. And yeah, people have no idea how little computing power they use. They have an app that's programmed by a terrible programmer with memory leaks all over the place (Windows lol) and blame it on hardware issues. Wow, you must not know many Mac users who aren't rich - nobody I know has bought a new mac within three years of buying their old one, not even the game devs :/

I would see games becoming more popular on Linux in the future, considering linux can not only run on both PC & Mac setups, but run on pretty much any hardware. Not to mention it is fast, stable, smaller than other OS' and no to mention free.
With linux growing in popularity, more and more software is starting to support Linux. Over the next 10 years it is quite possible linux usage (in the home) will pass mac.
As long as the horrible
"ALL gamers" you mean 12 year
apple is a joke !
i for one never liked apples ****** O S , and their hardware is a joke to the pc's tech capabilities , and to say pc owners dont care about how good their pc is , is a joke , i insist on the best , top gfx,ram,pro and mobo , with a fully tuned system, i spent 1 grand on mine, but i only do the whole setup ever 3 years, only thing one really needs to get once a year is a good gfx card , that alone will run games on top detail , especially nvidia;s new awesome gpu's , but games are getting better on pc , where macs are slowly gettting there, plus macs look **** fullstop for rigs , pcs are for true gamers and macs will and always be for **** non serious gamers .
Not so funny anymore
This is the stereotypical response of someone who is fearful of change in this industry as a whole, and mirrors many other comments to this article. It is immediately obvious to anyone who has used current intel systems running recent (within the last 2 years) versions of Linux, Windows and Mac to see the revolution that is taking place. The author of this article has some very valid points, and he underlines some very important facts (specifically, what share of the market is spending money on what). Devices are becoming an integral part of our computing experience... hence the label that has been affixed to the now we are experiencing as the "Post PC Era". Developers have already begun to integrate devices into our gaming experience... Mass Effect 3 had device apps that would unlock features within the main game. Recent MMO titles tie limited features such as auction houses, guild chat and character builders as Apps for devices. This has set the stage for features that current and future gamers will expect from games, and we're only seeing the beginning. Hate on Apple all you want, but they own substantial share of the device market, with iOS currently owning 64% of the world's browser market share. Because Apple has developed a platform of components by design through their OS (OSX & iOS) work flawlessly together and enhance each other as you combine them, more people who own individual components are likely to add to the collection to complete their computing solution. The PC market has changed. It is not just the quality of the hardware that matters, but your choice in operating system, devices, and how well they all work together. Someone who owns a Blackberry phone, with an Android Tablet, and a PC running Linux is going to be hard-pressed to find any solution that works well together by design as Apple has packaged with its computers, devices, and operating systems.
^ This guy has never used a
No.. no no no no no... no no...
Hmmm let me see... do i want my gaming computer to:
1.) Overheat. 2.) Have the Ram soldered in place and be unable to upgrade. 3.) Have my computer held together by glue instead of screws. 4.) Download the whole game over again to apply a 50kb patch.
Lets see..... nope, not really no...
I don't think Leapfrog devices have entered into this discussion
I didn't know people were
crApple fan boy are you?
What, your new Alienware ****
Dear Maclover GTFO
I disagree with you therefore
Good one
You should look in the mirror buddy, you cannot be a gamer mac-boy. Ever. The rest of the world is laughing at you. And please do try to act mature after you been notified of your childish behavior, that was allmoust a funny comeback. Its so funny how 1 guy is battling loads of people, without eny actual knowledge or facts why mac should be the future gaming platform... The fact just is, without PC you cannot be a serious gamer! Sorry to burst your bubble but playing COD in your console is the hello kitty version of gaming
^ I believe they call this
^ I believe they call this kind of reply both 'clasping at straws' and 'attacking a man of straw'. Sorry man, you just admitted defeat ;) Let's just grab the checklist here: Someone who has no idea what they're talking about telling someone who does they don't? Check! Unsubstantiated claims to back up an invalid argument? Check! False accusations about the opponent? Double check! As a bonus, I LOVE how you're accusing me of childish behaviour - it's always nice to tell people to look in a mirror without looking it it yourself, no?
Dear kid
Yah, you desperately need
Check yourself
Uh huh, if that sentence made
TBH I'm struggling to think
Nope, not gonna game on an Apple.
Apple fanfucks don't play games. Apple fanfucks are fucktards with huge amounts of insecurity from having small dicks/**** or are really fat or ugly or suck at life somehow. This is why people use Apple's overpriced garbage. To try to compensate for something. I know a few. A small man syndrome, a big fat obnoxious douchebag syndrome, and a girl with a bunch of dumb girl mental problems. They all rock iPhones, and the douchebag in particular is always boasting about his Apple **** being faster than PC ****. This guy is the guy when I was growing up that no one could stand. He still is that guy and always will be. He's always been about what he has and how awesome it is. Comparing his status & success by what he has, and how much he perceives it to be worth. He's been running that race all his life against everyone who couldn't care less, me included. I had an iPod Shuffle once. I'll admit mp3 players don't last long for me, but this thing was a piece of **** too, and iTunes is a miserable ******* nightmare from a company that supposedly makes easier to use software. Sorry Apple, MS wins that one. You know where else Apple loses folks? Value. If I'm gaming, really gaming, and I care about settings and rates, and I'm not retarded, then I've bought hardware that doesn't have pictures of apples on it. Which means I've bought better hardware for less money. TV's will become PC's, you will surely be able to waste a bunch of money on one with a picture of an Apple on it, or get a Samsung one that kicks it's *** up, down and sideways (or LG/Toshiba/Sony/Panasonic/Sharp etc.) for less money. Touchscreens are pretty useless for navigating a TV, but Kinect is just the opposite. The iFad is not going to be used for the same kind of gaming that consoles and PC's are used for. In the beginning there were PC's, and in the end there will be PC's. What form they come in is debatable, but you can't beat the power and versatility of a PC. Currently the dominant ones come in the form of desktop's, laptop's & smartphones, but PC/TV's are next. The iFad might have a run like consoles did, but it is temporary. As soon as you make an electronic clipboard do all a laptop does, you've made it into a laptop. Apple compatibility is irrelevant. Apple's attempts to control everything they sell and what users can do with it, combined with the extra costs associated with their underperforming hardware & consumer limitations is why Apple has no potential. They have a small fanfuckface market for all the baby dicks out there, and that's it. Either they change, or their market share stays the same.
Big ranting indeed lol. But I can somehow understand. I know people with macs that usually make arrogant comments about our own hardware and that theirs is superior, bla bla... It's almost inevitable for them to tease us pc users. My policy is to never criticize, only if attacked or if asked opinion, but always in a diplomatic stance. Just try to stay away from those people dude lol

For Dad's 86th birthday we celebrated over some of his favorite junk food items, blueberry doughnuts and chocolate milk.
For Dad's 86th birthday we celebrated over some of his favorite junk food items, blueberry doughnuts and chocolate milk. The only thing that could distract him from the sweets was his birthday card I had given him.
Just to make sure he knew what role I played in his life, I purchased a card with the word D-A-D plastered on the front in three-dimensional glittered letters. Inside I simply wrote, "I love you, from your daughter Sandy."
Eventually I put the card on his dresser hoping it's still there on my next visit, as it seemed to do the trick. When the staff jokingly asked who I was this time, since we never know who he may think I am, he looked at the card, looked at me and proudly said, "my daughter."
The staff also let me in on a little secret. Apparently a new resident has made her claim on him and the couple has become inseparable. I wasn't sure how to feel about this, that is, until I met her.
Over the next hour the three of us sat at the dining room table, eating blueberry doughnuts, laughing and talking. She not only made me feel better about Dad's new living arrangement, but she brightened my visit with her smiles and affection for him.
Since Dad's speaking abilities have been going downhill, as he completely forgets which words go together or how to verbalize what he's thinking, I started to worry something else may be wrong, besides having dementia, until I met Dad's friend.
I'm not sure how their conversations go when they're alone, but apparently they have an understanding. and that's all that really matters.
When she first sat down at the table, she gave me the "evil eye" and promptly asked what I was doing there. I told her I was his daughter and was here to celebrate his birthday. She immediately began singing "Happy Birthday" to him, forgetting the last two lines but humming in place of the words.
How cute, I thought, as I watched Dad's face light up. Just five minutes later the woman stopped mid-sentence and asked me who I was. I told her the same as before and so the happy birthday song began again. This went on three more times until finally I took the card to his room.
Just before I left she asked one more time who I was. I told her and this time she simply said, "good because I love this man."
Me too, I said.
When the couple started an intense discussion why dad had hair on his legs but she didn't, I figured it was my cue to leave. My birthday wish for Dad is complete, as he's found a love, besides blueberry doughnuts.
Thank goodness for the woman who sings happy birthday.

The opinion of the court was delivered by: Judge Jeffrey S. White
A Motion for Administrative Relief to Consider Whether Cases Should be Related or a Sua Sponte Judicial Referral for Purpose of Determining Relationship (Civil L.R. 3-12) has been filed. The time for filing an opposition or statement of support has passed. As the judge assigned to the earliest filed case below that bears my initials, I find that the more recently filed case(s) that I have initialed below are related to the case assigned to me, and such case(s) shall be reassigned to me. Any cases listed below that are not related to the case assigned to me are referred to the judge assigned to the next-earliest filed case for a related case determination.
I find that the above case is NOT related to the case assigned to me.
Counsel are instructed that all future filings in any reassigned case are to bear the initials of the newly assigned judge immediately after the case number. Any case management conference in any reassigned case will be rescheduled by the Court. The parties shall adjust the dates for the conference, disclosures and report required by FRCivP 16 and 26 accordingly. Unless otherwise ordered, any dates for hearing noticed motions are vacated and must be re-noticed by the moving party before the newly assigned judge; any deadlines set by the ADR Local Rules remain in effect; and any deadlines established in a case management order continue to govern, except dates for appearance in court, which will be rescheduled by the newly assigned judge.
The court has reviewed the motion and determined that no cases are related and no reassignments shall occur.

Welcome disc golfer! You can login or create an account.
Questions? Call us: (785) 258-2494
The Gateway Soft Magic "S" is a popular Gateway putter and approach disc and one of the best all around discs for new players as well as more experienced players. It is a beadless, straight flying putt and approach disc that can be easily used by beginners because of its great glide and small amount of low speed fade. This is also an easy disc to turn over and will hold just about any line it is thrown without 'hyzering out.' The Magic has a more blunt nose than the other Gateway putters, which allows it to maintain longer spinning action because of the added gyroscopic weight distribution in the rim. The nose is a little more blunt than the Wizard making it less high speed stable and less low speed over-stable. What that means is the magic is a very easy golf disc to throw.

Meet the folks ready to bring you wall to wall coverage of this year's Firefly Festival.
Sarah Barban
Favorite band: The Wonder Years
Favorite song: "I'll Play My Game Beneath the Spin Light" by Brand New.
Favorite concert: Brand New at the NorVa in Norfolk, Va in 2008.
Advice for festival-goers: Ladies, choose your clothing wisely. While a dress may keep you cooler, you're going to want an outfit that has pockets because you don't want to be lugging a purse around.
Must-have item: Sun block and a water bottle. Without either of you'll be miserable.
Firefly band not to miss: The Last Bison
Jesse Chadderdon
Favorite band: The Clash
Favorite song: "September Gurls" by Big Star
Favorite concert: Drive-By Truckers, Bowery Ballroom, New Year's Eve 2005
Advice for festival-goers: Don't overdo it. There's nowhere to go once you realize you've had too much of a good thing.
Must-have item: I'd say a flask, but festival organizers probably wouldn't like that too much.
Firefly band not to miss: Vampire Weekend
Scott Goss
Favorite band: Fugazi
Favorite song: "Tighten Up" by Archie Bell and the Drells
Favorite concert: Beck at the Spectrum, March 30, 1997

Must-have item: Water
Firefly band not to miss: Public Enemy
Jennifer Hayes
Favorite band: Old 97s
Favorite song: "I'll Remember" by Madonna
Favorite concert: Virgin Mobile Festival, Pimlico Raceway, 2007. My favorite band at the time, Incubus, was playing.
Advice for festival-goers: Wear comfy shoes and socks or else you will get blisters.
Must-have item: At least one tank top. It gets so hot with all those sweaty people clustered in one area.
Firefly band not to miss: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers – classic rock at its best.
Sarah Lake
Favorite band: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Favorite song: "Soul to Squeeze" by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Favorite concert: Virgin Festival, Pimlico Raceway, 2006. I saw Wolf Mother, The Killers, Gnarls Barkley, The Raconteurs, The Who and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Advice for festival-goers: Be respectful toward your fellow festival goers. Everyone wants to have a good time, so don't cut in line or push in front of people to get closer to the stage. You have to earn the front row.
Must-have item: Firefly is setting up water stations and has invited festival goers to bring an empty water bottle that they will fill. Stay hydrated!
Firefly band not to miss: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Andre Lamar

Christine Miller
Favorite band: Modest Mouse
Favorite song: "Burning Photographs" by Ryan Adams

Firefly band not to miss: Dispatch
Katie Riggan
Favorite band: Marah
Favorite song: "Round Eye Blues" by Marah

Must-have item: Sunscreen
Firefly band not to miss: Alabama Shakes

Check out some of the reviews on The Hunter
The reviews have been coming in on "The Hunter" - check out some of the highlights!
"Seemingly dozens of subtly different metal subgenres into a singular pursuit…One burly, beastly adrenaline spike." -- Entertainment Weekly (A-)
"Loads of monster riffs and frenzied solos, the album also makes room for moments of surprising gentleness…a sound unlike anything in Mastodon's catalog" – Rolling Stone
"Why can't all bands be this good? Kerrang! KKKKK
"The Worlds most interesting band have hit it out of the park again" - Classic Rock 8/10
"Infectiously brilliant heavy fucking metal" - Terrorizer 5/5
"Still firmly in a class of their own, Mastodon have done it again "- Metal Hammer 9/10
"Epic. The Hunter is the culmination of Mastodon's years sculpting a sound that was theirs to begin with" - Rock Sound 8/10
"Chances are you could use heavier rock in your life, and Mastodon's riff-heavy epics are as friendly to non-metalheads as they are to heshers." – New York Magazine
"'The Hunter' is an intense sonic voyage filled with lush, dark scenery. It takes several listens to fully digest what you've just experienced." – ThePRP.Com
"Thinking man's metal. Masterful." – Georgia Music Magazine
