Maine Military Records
United States U.S. Military Maine Military Records
Many military records are found at the Family History Library, the National Archives, and other federal and state archives. United States Military Records provides more information about the federal records.
Because Maine was under Massachusetts' jurisdiction until 1820, soldiers may be listed in Massachusetts military records, especially during the many colonial wars. See Massachusetts Military Records for additional suggestions. For specific Maine sources see the following:
- Fort Charles
- Fort Edgecombe
- Fort Fairfield 1841-43
- Fort Foster
- Fort Halifax
- Hancock Barraks 1828-45
- Fort Kent 1841-45
- Fort Loyal
- Fort McClary

- Fort St. George
- Fort Sullivan 1808-73
- Old Fort Western
Revolutionary War (1775-1783)
A man born between 1730 and 1765 who lived in Maine is probably listed in some form of military record. If he supported the Revolution, he may be mentioned in records as a rebel, patriot, or Whig. Those who opposed the Revolution were Loyalists or Tories.

About Denise Regan
Denise Regan believes that the "artist's work is like that of a gardener. The gardener prunes, adds, and removes"—an apt comparison in light of Regan's proclivity for floral and natural subject matter. Regan, who works in a combination of oil and encaustic, is well known for her still lifes and landscapes in electrified colors and wild patterns. In her oeuvre are also series of nudes in interiors, as well as several circus scenes. In the past, her images have been flattened and abstracted, but still recognizably referential. Since moving to a 2,500-acre nature reserve in 2004, however, Regan has reported her own shift towards simplified forms and pure abstraction. Her more recent works are grid-based compositions that explore color values and palettes.

LONDON (AP) — British lawmakers remembered former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on Wednesday as a towering political figure who restored her country's confidence and pride — but who alienated many voters, from coal miners to gay people, with her uncompromising policies.
Prime Minister David Cameron led praise for Thatcher during a special session of the House of Commons, recalled from its Easter break after the ex-leader's death Monday at the age of 87.
"Let this be her epitaph: That she made our country great again," Cameron told a packed room of lawmakers.
"She defined and she overcame the great challenges of her age and it is right that Parliament has been recalled to mark our respect," said Cameron, who heads the Conservative party that Thatcher once led.
The special sessions at the House of Commons are usual for former premiers, but are generally brief. More than seven hours was set aside for Thatcher, a reflection of her status as one of Britain's most iconic political figures — and one whose legacy still sparks furious debate.
Legislators hailed a string of Thatcher's achievements, from privatization of cumbersome state-run industries to reclaiming the Falkland Islands after Argentina's 1982 invasion. They are once-controversial measures on which both government and opposition parties now broadly agree — perhaps Thatcher's greatest accomplishment of all.
Amid the tributes, some lawmakers brought up the negative effects of her free-market economic policies — unemployment, shuttered industries, frayed social bonds.
Ed Miliband, leader of the main opposition Labour Party, said Thatcher was "a unique and towering figure ... the prime minister who defined her age."
But he said that residents of mining communities were left "angry and abandoned" when she closed the country's coal pits after a bitter strike. And he said gay people "felt stigmatized" by Section 28, a 1980s government order banning what it called the promotion of homosexuality.
Labour Party lawmaker Glenda Jackson, an Oscar-winning actress in the 1970s, was met with howls from lawmakers when she launched a blistering attack on Thatcher's record.
"There was a heinous social, economic and spiritual damage wreaked upon this country," she told the House of Commons. "By far the most dramatic and heinous demonstration of Thatcherism was not only in London but across the whole country in metropolitan areas, where every single shop doorway, every single night, became the bedroom, the living room, the bathroom for the homeless."
Scottish and Irish nationalist legislators spoke of deep wounds that have not healed. Scottish National Party lawmaker Angus Robertson said that "we will never forget and never forgive" the poll tax — an unpopular measure imposed on Scotland a year before the rest of the country.
Several left-wing legislators skipped the session altogether, including former housing minister John Healey, who said Thatcher's "legacy is too bitter to warrant this claim to national mourning."
Division over Thatcher's record has spilled over into debate about the public expense of her April 17 funeral at St. Paul's Cathedral, which will be attended by Queen Elizabeth II and dignitaries from around the world.
The only other funeral of a prime minister that the queen has attended was that of Britain's World War II leader, Winston Churchill, in 1965.
Thatcher's son, Mark, said the late premier "would be greatly honored as well as humbled" by the queen's presence at her funeral.
He added that his family had "quite simply been overwhelmed by messages of support" and condolence.
Thatcher's family is paying some of the cost of the funeral, which will see the former leader mourned with full military honors, but a portion will be paid by the state.
Taxpayers also will pick up the tab for lawmakers who have had to cut short vacations to attend Wednesday's session. They can claim expenses of up to 3,700 pounds ($5,750) for the journey.
Foreign Secretary William Hague said it was right to commemorate "a leader of historic proportions in our country's history."
He told the BBC: "I think we can afford to contribute to a funeral."
Thousands of people are expected to gather to see Thatcher's coffin taken from Parliament to the cathedral next week, part of the way by hearse and then on a horse-drawn gun carriage.
Hundreds of soldiers, sailors and air force personnel will line the route and form a guard of honor, and the coffin will be carried into the domed cathedral by members of units that fought in the 1982 Falklands War, Thatcher's high-risk military triumph. Military bands and artillery salutes will also form part of the carefully choreographed ceremony.
Police and security officials are planning for potential disruption from anti-Thatcher protesters — who may stage celebrations during the funeral — or attacks by Irish Republican Army dissidents.
Irish militants killed several Thatcher allies during her 1979-1990 premiership, and in 1984 set off a bomb in the Grand Hotel in Brighton during a Conservative Party conference. Thatcher escaped injury, but five people died.
AP writers Paisley Dodds and Cassandra Vinograd contributed to this report.

Seinfeld and Marc Maron Are Guesting on Louie
Presumably as themselves.
Is Jerry Seinfeld guest-starring on the upcoming third season of Louis C.K.'s FX series Louie? If you believe Chris Rock would accidentally let that tidbit slip during a press junket, the answer is yes. Here's how the news was dealt, according to Hollywood.com: "At the junket for Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, [Chris] Rock answered his cell phone during his interview with Hollywood.com. But the interruption was for a good reason: Seinfeld was dropping Rock a line to chat about his day at work ... on the set of FX's Louie."
Chris Rock and Ricky Gervais showed up in Louie's past two seasons, and if Seinfeld makes an appearance Louis C.K. will have nabbed everyone who appeared with him on HBO's excellent Talking Funny special.
Plus, Marc Maron recently tweeted that he's shooting "a scene" for Louie. Maron and C.K. are besties of olde, with the latter having appeared on a remarkable two-part installment of Maron's WTF podcast in late 2010 and getting choked up over the birth of one of his daughters. The two had a falling out somewhere along the line, hashed it out on the podcast, and then (according to Maron's vague implications afterward) never spoke again. Basically we're saying if you liked the history-laden Dane Cook sequence in last season's Louie, this might be another good one to watch for. This and the Seinfeld thing. And the Artie Lange cameo.

Released police report: Accusations against Nashua's Lozeau in 2009, but no chargesBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
November 04. 2013 9:57PM
NASHUA — About 100 pages from a police investigation into David Lozeau, the husband of Nashua Mayor Donnalee Lozeau, were released Monday, highlighting a 2009 case that did not result in any criminal charges.
Despite numerous secretly recorded conversations and months of investigating, authorities did not have enough evidence to charge David Lozeau, accused by a police informant of drug use, bid-rigging and leaking of confidential information in his role as a bail commissioner — a post he resigned from earlier this year.
"The fact that the recordings are now being brought forward years later, in the current political climate, is even more offensive," David Lozeau said in a statement released by his attorney, Richard Lehmann.
The mayor has said police have revisited the investigation this year because of political reasons, describing it as a "smear campaign." Police have refused to say whether the investigation has been reopened.
The document released Monday reveals police were having discussions with an informant — identified as Tom Brennan by David Lozeau — as recently as March. The informant told Sgt. Kevin Rourke that the mayor "still smokes weed" and had done lines of cocaine with him in years past, before she was mayor.
David Lozeau said Monday that private conversations secretly taped during the police investigation from 2009-1010 were a breach of his privacy.
The Nashua Police Department began investigating him for alleged bid-rigging, drug use, leaking of information as a bail commissioner and possible dealings in city corruption, according to the investigative documents, which are redacted to protect the privacy of informants.
"I have been advised by my lawyer that I have the right under the Right-to-Know law to challenge the release of these documents. Despite the fact that I would probably be able to prevent release of the documents if I so chose, I will not be exercising that right," said David Lozeau. "The public has a right to view these documents and make their own determination."
He went on to say that in the midst of a "political battle between the NPD (Nashua Police Department) and (Mayor Donnalee Lozeau)" the files have resurfaced even though the case was closed years ago.
"I am a lifelong resident of the Nashua community, and I am willing to rest on the reputation I have earned during that time," said David Lozeau, maintaining the police investigation was revisited earlier this year after his wife publicly called out the city's police unions for failing to negotiate new contracts.
Detailed recordings
The released documents, prompted by a Right-to-Know request from The Telegraph, include a letter from Lt. Michael Carignan to Capt. George McCarthy dated Dec. 7, 2011 titled "Issues concerning Bail Commissioner David Lozeau."
"I would like to discuss several issues with his bail practices, truthfulness and affiliations/friendships with known drug dealers and users. As you are aware, Mr. Lozeau has access to sensitive information about people who are arrested. Due to the nature of his job, he is able to know who may be providing information to the police as informants," the letter indicated.
" ... The ability to keep sensitive information secret is an absolute requirement in that position. I believe that on several occasions, Mr. Lozeau has compromised that trust by making bad bail decisions, associating with known drug users/dealers and lying to the Nashua Police Department supervisors about his bail duties," wrote Carignan, who highlighted several instances where David Lozeau issued low personal recognizance bail for offenses that typically have no bail associated with them, such as a violation of a protective order.
Allegations were made to police that David Lozeau was a heavy marijuana user, although police unsuccessfully attempted during the summer of 2011 to use a confidential informant to obtain drugs from Lozeau's alleged dealer, the documents indicated.
Carignan said he believes that David Lozeau tipped off the dealer about the confidential informant.
" ... It clearly appears to me that Mr. Lozeau seems to be using his position as a bail commissioner in a less than professional manner," wrote Carignan. "It is clear that when questioned by certain friends, he will provide information indicating someone is working as an informant for the police, thereby protecting that person's drug dealing status."
Still, the detailed recordings between David Lozeau and the informant never gathered enough evidence to implicate Lozeau in any wrongdoing or criminal behavior.
Informant questioned
Police were also investigating David Lozeau for alleged drug use. At the end of 2009, the Narcotics Intelligence Division developed an informant who wished to provide information about David Lozeau being involved in the alleged purchasing and use of marijuana. As a result, Assistant Attorney General Jane Young gave city police authority to record several telephone conversations between the informant and David Lozeau.
A confidential informant told Nashua police that he had previously delivered marijuana to David Lozeau.
"The (confidential informant) advised Mr. Lozeau does not hold or sell marijuana, but routinely smokes it, even on days he is responsible for setting bail as a bail commissioner for the court," says the police documents.
Furthermore, the informant told police that on at least three occasions, he would request David Lozeau lower a person's bail in return for a quarter-ounce of marijuana.
In 2009, Assistant Attorney General Jane Young joined several police officials to question an informant who was targeting David and Donnalee Lozeau for the Nashua Police Department.
The informant told police that when Donnalee Lozeau worked at Southern New Hampshire Services prior to her position as mayor, she would allegedly help him secure construction jobs through bid-rigging.
"I'd get a phone call and told the bids were coming in and then I'd meet with them and we'd discuss the amount of the job and I'd wait for the lowest bid and I was told which the lowest bid was and what I had to come in at," he told police.
The informant claims he met with the Lozeaus on more than five occasions at their home and at various restaurants where he would provide them with a cash deposit to secure a bid for work such as snow removal, demolition, cabinetry and elderly housing construction.
No criminal activity
Last week, Donnalee Lozeau contended that the old police investigation was revisited this spring after she publicly criticized Nashua police unions for failing to negotiate new contracts that included health care concessions.
"Let me say this as clearly as I possibly can: I have not engaged in criminal activity of any kind. The suggestion that I committed any misconduct of any kind is unfounded, unsubstantiated and untrue," said the mayor.
Her husband echoed those comments, saying allegations of bid-rigging are "absolutely and patently untrue."
"After a number of recorded conversations attempting to substantiate this ridiculous accusation, the investigation was apparently closed in January of 2010 under (former police) Chief Don Conley," he said.
After being able to review the police documents for the first time last week, David Lozeau said he was "surprised at the efforts and resources the Nashua Police Department put into their attempts to implicate me in conduct I did not commit."
The Nashua Police Commission has asked the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office to review the department's prior investigation into the Lozeaus, as well as the mayor's newest claims that the investigation was politically motivated, which the commission is vehemently denying.

D & E Series
DC Tachometers
DC Tachometers with output signal between 25 and 45 volts/1000 rpm (3V/1000 rpm for E Series subminiature tach)
from $368.00/ea
With rugged construction and high output voltages, D Series tach generators are ideally suited to a variety of industrial applications. The flange mounting arrangement provides a convenient assembly method, and the sturdy 0.187"-diameter shaft permits the heavier loading frequently encountered where pulleys or belt drives are employed. The output bearing is fitted with a seal to help prevent the contamination that can occur in industrial applications. With output up to 45 V/1000 rpm, D-Series generators are ideal for applications where high output voltages are required. Typically, these are slow-speed applications.
The E-Series generator is the smallest tach among those offering similar technical characteristics. Many outstanding features make it particularly suitable for use in all types of servo systems. Although the diameter is only 0.760", the E Series provides a 3 volt/1000 rpm output and linearity better than 0.1% at 3600 rpm. With driving torque of only 0.25 oz-in., and inertia of just 0.25 x 10^-4 oz-in.-sec^2, E Series gives design advantages not available with competitive units.

Start your engines: Will we have a better choice of drivers in 2012?Nicholas Kronos -- Monday, January 31, 2011 -- 05:44:24 PM
The 2012 presidential campaign--you know it's coming and starting already. Will anyone run we can actually be excited about?This thread is tagged:
(All users will see what tags exist for a thread. Please tag carefully!)
Trump won't run. The fact is that every candidate is "forced" to release years of tax returns, and one of Trump's most carefully guarded secrets is the state of his finances and net worth. The tax returns alone would indicate what percentage of the "Trump" branded properties he actually owns, etc. etc. IMO, just another attention-getting device for some ulterior egotistic motive.
Moron, the same goes for the jug-eared empty-suited imbecile in the WH.
He might as well resign in disgrace now, instead of wasting the $1+ billion it will take for him to run again.
Fucking ignoramus.
Only a total fool, and/or the criminally-insane, would contribute money to the blithering idiot President Jughead's re-election.
I seriously doubt it.
eta - But I am hoping for an entertaining primary season this time around.
Pass the popcorn:
Gingrich tries to confront his sordid personal problems ahead of a possible 2012 run.
"I've had a life which, on occasion, has had problems," he added. "I believe in a forgiving God, and the American people will have to decide whether that their primary concern. If the primary concern of the American people is my past, my candidacy would be irrelevant. If the primary concern of the American people is the future... that's a debate I'll be happy to have with your candidate or any other candidate if I decide to run."
Gingrich cheated on his first with his second, and his second with his third. If I were the third Ms. Gingrich, I'd watch that shitheel like a hawk.
Really? You'd have married the guy in the first place given his history, and expect us to believe you'd get tough then?
Galston says that Obama plans on his fringe base, and doesn't think that will work.
Best would be never to have anything to do with him, certainly. The vows had to have been an interesting moment.
He'll run, and it's a good thing, because he seems like the only person in the Republican party that will take on the rilly big issue, which is do you want to pay low taxes and be on your own, or do you want to pay for a safety net? And where should we define the net?
"rilly" is the the right word.
Daniels is revving up as well, doing more national media. Still my favorite on the right.
Since you won't vote for him, why would we care?
Seems odd. There have been rumors about this locally for a while.
Michele Bachmann is considering a run? Seriously?
I could not vote for her. I'm not sure anyone's home.
If she were to get the nomination, it would be a Christine O'Donnell blowout.
In the Corner, he also answered a critic who said "But you didn't mention Ron Paul!!!" Duh, says Goldberg.
Please god.
Ron Paul is older than McCain. As bad as Obama is, the GOP Congress is enough to make sure he gets re-elected if the Republicans nominate a weak candidate.
It's just a fact that being President makes one seem presidential. Obama's biggest weakness the first time was his lack of experience. Next time he'll have the most experience of anyone in the race. And voters will know that the House is going to check him some, whereas a nutty Republican may wind up with both the House and Senate.
I would consider voting for Palin. She has two years to convince me. Bachmann...it's not possible.
I think the time for this is past, alas. If I were sure the Republicans would put up someone electable, I wouldn't care.
You shouldn't care anyway. Obama and Hillary have no differences on the major issues.
As president, what would she do?
Would she try and repeal Obamacare?
Would she either stop or accelerate our Libya mission?
Would she bomb Iran?
Cut spending?
Balance the budget?
Put forward Supreme Court nominees of a different caliber and ideology than Obama's?
Get tough on border enforcement?
Demonstrate a competence in governing that Obama lacks?
The assumption is that Hillary makes a difference somewhere. She doesn't. Not anywhere that it matters.
Look at John Phillips' comment here:
So Team Hillary's recommendation for their favorite former presidential candidate is that Hillary would have taken decisive action against Gaddafi where Obama only dithered. This makes her a realistic and aggressive war hawk.
What does this mean? That, under a President Hillary, bombing would have started a week earlier (and at 3 am) than it did under Obama for an action we probably shouldn't have taken at all?
The rest of Phillips' column is about politics. Hillary is a more electable candidate in 2012 than Obama. Well, that's hardly a recommendation for her if you disagree with her politics and truly want to see a Republican win.

Like many people, Lisa Pliner works out to burn stress, stay healthy and look good. But as a shoe designer, exercise also provides respite from the creative process. She says she'll work on a design then take a break, letting the design "talk" to her as she rides her bike. When she returns to the office, the shoes finally "come alive."
Why do you keep fit?
Exercise is a great stress release — you can get away from everything. Second reason is because I love staying healthy and staying in shape. Eating right and exercising makes me feel good and lets me look the way I want.
And it's good for my work. In the design world, like with most artists, sometimes you have to think about a design then walk away. I'll ride my bike and a color will come to me. I let my designs talk to me. And then I come back, and they come alive and talk to me, my little shoes.
What's your workout routine?
Because I'm on the road a lot, my schedule varies. I don't exercise if I'm out of the country on a trip.
Basically it's Pilates. I work with two trainers. Mondays and Wednesdays I [work with] one trainer for two hours straight, because I might be gone for the next week! Then twice a week with the owner of Sanctuary 7 in Miami for only an hour. All of my workouts are at Sanctuary 7.
I work out every day. On weekends my husband and I do really long walks. I live on Star Island and we go over the bridge to Starbucks for breakfast. It's 3 miles.
Sometimes I ride my bike in the evening when it's not too hot, for an hour. I turn my music on and listen, and think about designs.
Have you played competitive sports now or in school?
I swam on the swim team in high school and played tennis, but I don't do that anymore. I run after my daughter. And my husband. He has more energy than I do.
Does your family keep fit?
My daughter is 7 and likes to ice skate and ride a bike and take a walk with us on weekends and swim.
My husband never misses any of his routine. If we were in India, he would do his routine. He does calisthenics from when he was in the Army, also loves to run and does weights here and there for muscles.
Do you have a personal fitness motto or philosophy?
I wish I'd started earlier. As disciplined as I am now, I wish I knew what I know now when I was younger. It's hard to take care of yourself as you get older. But you learn.
Do you have any physical problems that hinder exercise?
I have scoliosis. Pilates is one of the best exercises for me with a problem back.
What's your typical daily diet?
I'm horrible. I love food. I love to eat. I'm not going to deprive myself if I'm with my daughter and we're eating french fries or pizza or ice cream. Just the next time at the gym I work a little harder.
But I usually eat a bunch of small meals, about six times a day. I don't eat a lot of pasta, although [I will] occasionally during the day because you'll burn it off, but not at night. I eat tons of vegetables, salad, meat, tuna, fish. You name it, I will eat it. But portion size is very important.
If I know I have a photo shoot coming up in three weeks, I go on a strict program and I count calories, write down everything. I don't want to go over 1,250 calories per day.
What do you drink typically?
I drink water. And occasionally a coffee in the morning. Sometimes if we're out at dinner or entertaining, I'll drink red wine or vodka straight up. I stay away from juices. And nothing carbonated.
Do you take any vitamins or sports nutrition products?
I take fish oil and I take a grape seed extract, and then there's another berry [extract] that I take. If I know I'll be on the road, I'll bring a protein bar with me.
Where did you acquire your fitness and nutrition knowledge?
Fitness from experimenting what works for my body as I get older. With trainers. Nutrition, last year when I lived in L.A. I wanted to learn how to eat right so I did everything that a wellness center suggested. I learned about certain foods that I now won't touch because they're not the right foods for my body.

Jennifer Lopez - AMAs 2011 Performance!
Jennifer Lopez ignites the stage at the 2011 American Music Awards held at Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE on Sunday (November 20) in Los Angeles.
The 42-year-old superstar started out her performance with her new song "Papi" before segueing into her hit "On the Floor."
Jennifer was joined on stage by Pitbull, who later performed with J.Lo's soon-to-be ex-husband Marc Anthony.
During her performance, Jennifer hopped into a FIAT car and drove around the stage. She also drives the car around in the music video for "Papi" and is featured in the brand's commercials.
FYI: Jennifer wore a Giambattista Valli couture gown and cape before stripping down to a bedazzled bodysuit.
10+ pictures inside of Jennifer Lopez performing at the AMAs…

Revision of Arixan's Alliance Leveling Guide - Vashj'ir (80-82)[BETA] from Mon, 2010-08-02 16:09
This guide will cover the Alliance quests in Vashj'ir. I will cover 100% of the quests in the zone. Please note that this is based on a play through of the BETA version of the zone. Things can and probably will change. I will do my best to maintain the accuracy of the quests and objectives until finalized in the live version.
Everything in this guide can be done solo unless I specifically state otherwise. All of the level 80+ zones in Cataclysm make very heavy use of phasing as you progress through the zone. Be aware of this if you are trying to get a group for anything, as they may not be in the same phase as you are.
I will add coordinates to the guide once Blizzard allows for the use of addons in the beta realms.
Vashj'ir presents a unique challenge in describing where you need to go. It is very much a 3D environment, so while I can provide coordinates, often times the objective you need will be above or below you. Keep this in mind as you go through the guide.
I highly suggest you make use to the built-in quest tracking on the world map. I will describe as best I can where the NPCs and quest objectives are, but the objective tracking on the in game map will show you precisely where to go in most cases.
Please post and feedback, errors, or suggestions as comments.

Wrong waypoint coordinates
Submitted by andyarnolduk on Wed, 2011-01-26 18:30.
I've gone through this zone over the last few days, and quite a few of the quest start/end points are not right, mostly the ones involving Captain Taylor, Admiral Dvorek and Wavespeaker Valoren
I didn't take note of which ones were wrong. Sorry. I've now almost finished the zone, and probably won't be back with an alt for a few weeks. I'll pay a bit more attention next time!

Vashj'ir Guidefile for Alliance.

the file once I have something.
A first version of Alliance Vashjir
Submitted by MagicSN on Wed, 2010-11-24 20:37.
- Not yet finished (maybe 40%, btw, what is a good way to contribute these files to the project, posting the current version in the forum sounds to me not as the best way)
- no prerequisites and stuff yet
- some quests there are contradictions and unsureness about on cata wowhead. I will formulate questions about them later, so hopefully people who played the Beta can answer it (stuff like that the position of certain quest items is not on wowhead... I just named something in the likely area of the quest item for the few quests which had this problem... or that some site said that a certain quest has a certain other quest as prerequisite, the other site said you could make both quests at the same time...)
- As the naming might make understand, this guidefile bases on Arixan's guide

Ray Burton honored in Bretton Woods as he battles cancerBy BOB HOOKWAY
Special to the Sunday News November 02. 2013 8:01PM
Ray Burton attended a special Executive Council meeting Friday at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods where he was honored. (BOB HOOKWAY)
BRETTON WOODS - Tributes flowed Friday from friends, supporters and fellow political leaders - past and present - who gathered to honor Ray Burton's legendary public service.
From the heartfelt to the lighthearted, they included the joke that after decades of trying, Burton had finally succeeded in transferring New Hampshire's government seat from Concord to his beloved North Country.
Burton, a District 1 adviser to 10 governors who is now battling cancer, made the trip Friday in steady rain from his home in West Bath over Route 302 in his vintage yellow Oldsmobile convertible.
He arrived at the door of the historic Mount Washington Hotel in the center of the White Mountains, where the sun broke through in time for a brief Governor and Executive Council meeting. A large contingent of well-wishers that included many public servants, both of the Granite State's U.S. senators and half the governors he served over the years, was waiting for him in the Gold Room.
Burton, 74, is the state's longest-serving executive councilor. He's been on board since Jimmy Carter was President, and his famous effectiveness on behalf of constituents in his massive district quickly became the theme of the special meeting.
"You always make things happen," U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., told him. "Nobody can make more things happen than you."
To a round of laughter in the packed meeting room, Burton said, "I always had to keep an eye on District 4. It seems like we haven't done enough for Manchester."
Gov. Maggie Hassan and the council accepted a portrait of Burton painted by Bath artist Craig Pursley titled "The Public Servant." After being displayed in the State House, the painting will hang permanently in the Executive Council chamber, Hassan said.
Burton said he had come to appreciate more than anything "the health that we have." He announced earlier this year that he had been receiving treatment for kidney cancer, but expected to make a full recovery and continue with his duties. He's also a Grafton County commissioner.
Last week, however, Burton said the disease had returned and he would not seek reelection next year for a 19th two-year term.
A ceremony across the highway from the hotel followed the council meeting and marked the opening of a new scenic overlook.
There, Hassan continued the Burton tribute.
"On behalf of the people of New Hampshire, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making your life's work the people's work. Thank you for touching our lives and strengthening our state. We will be forever grateful," Hassan said.
Before he left the council meeting for the ceremony, Burton said, "You don't win every project, you don't win every vote."
Summing up his 35 years in office, Burton said it "adds up to only one thing, public service," prompting a loud round of applause that closed the meeting.

New Hy-Vee stores planned in two Iowa towns
New Hy-Vee stores planned in two Iowa towns
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa —
Hy-Vee is planning to build new stores in Winterset and Jefferson.
The Jefferson store plan calls for a 32,000-square foot supermarket at the intersection of North Vine and Adams, just north of downtown. It would offer fresh produce, meat, dairy, frozen foods and grocery items.
The plan must still be approved by the city council.
A new store is also planned in Winterset at the southeast corner of North John Wayne Drive and Mills Street. The Winterset store would be 35,000-square-foot and include a pharmacy, full-service meat department, prepared foods and a wine and spirits store.
If plans are approved construction of the store could begin as early as this fall.
Hy-Vee as 233 stores in eight Midwestern states.

What is the Routing Number?
A routing number identifies the financial institution and the branch to which a payment item is directed. Along with the account number, it is essential for delivering payments through the clearing system.
In Canada, there are two formats for routing numbers:
EFT Routing Number
An Electronic Fund Transactions (EFT) routing number is comprised of a three-digit financial institution number and a five-digit branch number, preceded by a "leading zero".
Example :
: Leading zero
: Institution Number
: Branch Number
The electronic routing number is used for routing electronic payment items, such as direct deposits and wire transfers.
MICR Number (Transit Number)
MICR Numbers or widely known as Transit Numbers are used in cheques processing. It appears on the bottom of negotiable instruments such as checks identifying the financial institution on which it was drawn.
A paper (MICR) routing number is comprised of a three-digit financial institution number and a five-digit branch number. It is encoded using magnetic ink on paper payment items (such as cheques).
Example :
: Branch Number
: Institution Number
stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition.
What is Swift Code?
SWIFT code (also known as ISO 9362, SWIFT-BIC, BIC code, SWIFT ID or SWIFT code) is a standard format of Business Identifier Codes approved by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is a unique identification code for both financial and non-financial institutions. (When assigned to a non-financial institution, a code may also be known as a Business Entity Identifier or BEI.) These codes are used when transferring money between banks, particularly for international wire transfers, and also for the exchange of other messages between banks. The codes can sometimes be found on account statements.
The SWIFT code is 8 or 11 characters, made up of:
4 letters: Institution Code or bank code.
2 letters: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code
2 letters or digits: location code
if the second character is "0", then it is typically a test BIC as opposed to a BIC used on the live network.
if the second character is "1", then it denotes a passive participant in the SWIFT network
if the second character is "2", then it typically indicates a reverse billing BIC, where the recipient pays for the message as opposed to the more usual mode whereby the sender pays for the message.
3 letters or digits: branch code, optional ('XXX' for primary office)
Where an 8-digit code is given, it may be assumed that it refers to the primary office.

CHIBA CITY, Japan, March 6 (Reuters) - When it comes to
trade policy, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe faces a choice between
the fears of Japan's ageing farm lobby and the hopes of suburban
families lined up here at a nearly 20-metre long meat counter in
a mall showcasing Australian beef.
When Aeon Co set out to open a flagship shopping
mall just outside Tokyo, it wanted the scale to dazzle urban
shoppers. The three-month-old Makuhari New City mall in Chiba is
almost four times larger than the Tokyo Dome, a 55,000-seat
stadium in the heart of the capital.
At the supermarket inside the mall, the daily specials
include beef shipped direct from Aeon's own feed lot in
Tasmania, an arrangement that reduces prices for consumers and
skirts Japan's politically strong agricultural co-operative
system that many see as an outdated relic of the country's
revival after World War Two.
Even as Japan rebuffs international pressure to scrap import
tariffs on food items, including beef, some Japanese farmers are
stepping outside the heavily protected co-operative system
anyhow, worried that the biggest threat is not trade
liberalisation but Japan's rapidly ageing population and its
changing tastes.
"I don't think Japanese agriculture will collapse because of
the participation in TPP," said Toru Wakui, a northern Japan
rice farmer, referring to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade
talks. "If it happens, it will be from an internal collapse."
This quiet but significant shift suggests Japan's tough TPP
stance aimed at protecting the country's farmers is losing some
of its foundation as more commercial pressures come to bear in
Japan and farmers and their buyers work around an inflexible
traditional system.
The average Japanese farmer is 66 years old, the amount of
farmland has dropped by a quarter over 30 years and Japan's food
self-sufficiently ratio - the share of consumed calories made at
home - has dropped to 39 percent, the lowest among developed
Tastes are also changing and moving away from polished rice,
protected by an import tariff of up to 778 percent. For example,
the amount the average Japanese family spends on bread surpassed
rice for the first time in 2010, government statistics show.
Meanwhile, the average Japanese farm is just two hectares
(five acres) in size - about 1 percent of the size of the
average U.S. farm. The amount of Japanese farmland that has gone
uncultivated is now as large as the cities of Tokyo and Osaka
combined. Government subsidies account for over half of farm
incomes, the third-highest ratio in the OECD behind Norway and
Japan's agriculture ministry estimates joining TPP could cut
the value of agricultural production by another $30 billion,
although the economy would get a net boost of around $30
billion, mostly through lower prices for consumers.
But Japan's agricultural lobby - known as JA Zenchu - has
presented more than 11 million signatures from voters opposed to
Japan's participation in the TPP, talks that involve 12
countries including the United States and Canada.
The lobby's ads denounce the talks as a threat to food
safety, farm incomes, rural medical care and even Japan's
ability to keep more than 400 far-flung islands populated and
under Tokyo's economic control.
Fears over the sustainability of Japan's network of
individual farms dating back to the end of World War Two was
part of the reason Aeon set-up its own farming unit in 2009.
The operation now includes 14 farms in Japan and slightly
more than 200 hectares. The company aims to have 500 hectares
under cultivation by 2015. Japan's top supermarket chain has
also set a goal of self-sourcing 40 percent of its vegetables,
up from less than 1 percent now.
It also makes commercial sense, argues the head of Aeon's
farming unit.
"When products are sold directly to merchants ... farmers
and producers can use the responses of consumers and build on
that information," Yasuaki Fukunaga said.
Enlarging corporate involvement in agriculture is one of
Abe's goals, along with lifting farm income and increasing food
exports. In June, the government is set to consider reforms
intended to reduce barriers to winning local approvals for
transfers of farm land, making it easier for entrants like Aeon.
"Against the backdrop of a decrease in the number of
agricultural workers, an increase in their ages, and with the
amount of abandoned farmland increasing, whatever happens with
TPP negotiations, it is extremely important to revitalise
domestic farming," Japan's agricultural minister, Yoshimasa
Hayashi, said during questioning in parliament on Monday.
In November, Abe's government surprised many by announcing
it would phase out a 40-year-old policy known as "gentan" under
which the government paid farmers - mostly individuals with
small plots - in exchange for reducing rice output to protect
But while industry watchers point out that many of Abe's
goals to make Japanese agriculture more competitive are not new
and the ending of the gentan programme coincided with an
increase of subsidies for a rice-to-feed programme, some experts
say the winds are changing.
"With Japan's big financial deficit, there is certainly
thinking that down the road that subsidies could be lowered,"
said Hiroyuki Kawashima, an associate professor in the global
agriculture department at the University of Tokyo, in reference
to the rice-for-feed programme.
Against that backdrop, some of Japan's small farmers are
looking for a market niche - rather than a government subsidy -
as their best hope for the future.
That includes Noboru Tsukahara, who has farms in Ibararki,
northeast of Tokyo, and northern Hokkaido. He believes he is the
world's only commercial provider of the purebred "meishan" breed
of pork, considered a premium delicacy.
When JA quoted Tsukahara a low price for his pork since it
was classified outside of its grading system, he opted out to
win distribution contracts on his own with high-end department
stores like those run by Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings and
Michelin-rated restaurants.
"It is no longer the era of mass production and mass
consumption. With Japan's population falling, it's the reverse,
so I feel unique products that are not found everywhere will be
what appeal to consumers," he told Reuters.
Kenji Okumatsu in southern Miyazaki prefecture, was able to
use a connection to sell his mini-tomatoes at the local airport.
They were a hit and food buyers discovered his farm, which now
has annual sales of almost $5 million and 40 employees.
"The era of being a farmer because you are from a farming
family has passed," Okumatsu said. "What is needed is not just
farmers, but farmers with an entrepreneurial spirit."

SanDisk drives to Valley, picks up new kid for enterprise flash
Schooner strengthens server flash cache and memory creds
Flash product maker and shaker SanDisk has bought Schooner Information Technology, which makes virtual machine-based MySQL and Memcached web cache program acceleration software using cores, threads and solid state drives.
The payment terms are secret. Start-up Schooner's database and flash optimisation team have joined SanDisk's Enterprise Storage Solutions (ESS) team and its products will be optimised for SanDisk's enterprise SSD portfolio as well as for enterprise SSDs from third parties.
SanDisk's most prominent recent acquisition has been of the Pliant flash controller business in May last year. It also bought FlashSoft for its PCIe flash caching software technology in February.
SanDisk says this about Schooner's technology:
Designed to fill the gap between stock do-it-yourself open source solutions and expensive high-end database deployments … Schooner's products deliver up to five times the throughput of competing configurations. In addition, they deliver near in-memory response times to mission critical applications along with enterprise-grade replication and failover capabilities.
In-memory database solutions are enabling breakthroughs in database and Business Intelligence applications that are only possible with solid state memories. Schooner's ability to combine DRAM and flash memory seamlessly in a single solution offers near DRAM performance at a lower cost.
It is an advance on mere caching – a big advance. An enterprise storage array vendor without its own server flash technology might well think a partnership with SanDisk, which needs to develop its enterprise selling credentials, could be a good thing. ®
