The' .new decree overruled that phaso of tho Goer¬ ing order ' which had demanded registration .reports of all .Tews having property in Germany irre¬ spective of their residence. Under the new decree foreign Jews muat register.property in Germany: only if Ihey live in Germany. The de¬ cree also gives German Jews resi¬ dent abroad until July 31 to regis¬ ter .their property and until October 31 for those living outside: of Europe. Jewa ,in'Germany'.must still register by June 30th, The effect of the'new decree is to com¬ pel American, British and other foreign Jews, wbo live iii Germany or Austria to register their, prop¬ erty. Meanwhile, it was learned that tho renewed anti-Jewish terror was aimed at ridding Germany of as many Jews as possible. Hun¬ dreds of those arrested last 'week wero promptly released upon sign¬ ing an undertaking to leave the Beich at once. Jewish, merchants who agree to close their stores or sell out at onco were alao given their freedom, thus indicating that orgnnized smearing of Jewish shops with anti-Semitic and boy¬ cott slogans was designed to con- ¦vinco the Jews that they had no chance of making a living. Re¬ moval of the huge red-lettered signs was under way as Jews la¬ bored ¦ to efface tho offensive slogans. Fairly-well established re¬ ports stated that' during the period of mob violence two aynago- gaes were, attacked. The windows of tbe Oranienburgerstrasse Syna- l^ogue were smashed and ita walls defaced ¦while 'windows ¦ we^e broken in the "Adas Israel Syiiage- gno and in the Orthodox Eabbini¬ cal Seminai*y. New measures against Jowa in¬ cluded a ban on food Sales to them in a number of Berlin suburbs, an- order expelling Jews from all stock exchanges and a decree for¬ bidding Jewiah-o'wnod or directed hospitals to take patients -whose hospitalization would be-paid out of the government insurance fund. These measurea were announced coincidentnily with rumors that Hitler waa meeting with his cab¬ inet to discuss new and more sweeping anti-Jeyrish regulations. It ia not believed, however, that they will be announced before tbe Nazi party congress at Nuremberg in September. * * # Push "Legal" War Oil Jews BEELIISr (WNS)—An imme¬ diate end of violence against Jewa in the campaign to sjpeed up the Aryanization of Jcwiah businesa and thua further, stimulate Jewish emigration.'was ordered by high Ni\zi authorities, according to in¬ formation obtained from reliable sources.' The order has. gone out that the boycotting of Jewish shops and the labeling of Jewish establishments must be carried out within "orderly and legal chan¬ nels." Nazi, party spokesmen ad¬ mitted that the -violence had got¬ ten out of hand but denied that any disciplinary action was planned against thoso responsible "be¬ cause of the difficulty of estab¬ lishing who committed the acts." the SE(me timo the highest Nazi party quarters-let it become known that the steady elimination of Jews from business' and the roufid- up of Jews would .continue. Aa the paint-slinging campaign petered out it waa replaced by the picket¬ ing of Jewis^ shops as men in civilian clothes posted themselves in front .of .Tewish establishmenta to warn customers away. Mean¬ while, the Nazi press broke ita silence on the disturbances, the ¦Voelkischer Beobachter defending them as an "act. of self-,dcfen3o by the people against Jews 'Who are swamping Berlin,, especiapy from Austria.

This year's convention will be presided over by twenty-year old Stanley Eabinowitz, of Des Moines, la., president of the organization ¦who, despite his age, holds one of the most importaiit youth posts in the Jowish world.

PAEIS (WNS)—The memory of tho 8,200 Jews who laid down their lives fighting, for Prance during the World War '.and the thousands of others itt American nnd British ai?raies 'who were killed in Prance was honored at Douau- mont, near Verdun, with the dedica¬ tion by the French Govemment of a .monument to tho Jewish ivar dead.

American, British, Belgian, Czecho¬ slovak, Polish, Italian and Yugo¬ slavian Governments, tha Ameri¬ can and British Legions and tha Catholic, Protestant and Jewish clergy of France, The monument was dedicated as part of 'the exercises featuring tho 22nd,;anni- yorsary of the Ba'ttla of Verdun. In his address Campinchi at¬ tacked Nazi anti-Semitism, aaying'| that France would defend freedom' for all races. "We," ho .declared, "are not among those \yho drive out or condemn 'men beca'uae their ancestors were born beyond our frontiers. Wo do not believe in accursed, contemptible, or in¬ ferior peoples, but in a free, digni¬ fied, respected humanity. This ideal for which Jewa of France, England and the United States feel here, among so man^ of their com¬ patriots, remains ours. We must not despair, becauae bistory is patient, and the day ivill come when we shall see this ideal ob- aerved throughout tha world." Campinchi cited figures' showing that 32,000 Jews from France and Algeria Served in tho ITrench armies and that 6,500 were kille'd. There were also 12,000 Jews from other countrie_s in the Fi^ench For-.' eign Legion, of whom '2,000 laid down their lives. The monument to the Jewish -war dead, which ig cloae by tho Catholic war nionuj ment and stands in the abadpw of^ the great French memorial toyt'4{ is a "'ivSill-like' structure' intom to represent tho Wailing Wall 'oj' Jerusalem, and has reproductions of the two tablets of tho Ten Com¬ mandments in the center.

Qeneral Johnson Reveals Attacks On Him For Stating Je>te Didn't K1|I Jesus NEW YOEK (WNS)—An asser¬ tion in pne pf his recent pyndicated columns that "Jeaua was lulled, not by tho Jewish people who adored Him, but by a Konian executioner at the auggeation. of the current palace lirain trust," haa drawn a barrage of attacks and criticism. General Hugh S. Johnaon revealed ill another^ column in which he re¬ peated the atatement and declared "there is in tliem nothing to. alter or retract." ATLANTIC CItY (WNS)—De¬ claring that "social ideals aro the very warp and wopf of Judaism" and that"it should bo unthinkable that of all the, religipus prganiza- tions which are vocal on aocial re¬ construction, social security, social justice,* tho synagogue should bo silent," Dr.- David L'cfkowitz, Sr., of Dallas, Texas, told the 49 th an¬ nual meeting of the Central Cen- fercnco of American Eabbis that tlio synagogue must tako a definite stand on contemporary aoci,il prob¬ lems' arid that if "if it fails in its primo function it has. abdicated and deserves to bo the fifth wheel,in Jowish . communal life." Speaking on "The Primacy of the Synagogue —How It Can Bo Eeestablisbcd," Di:. Leflcowitz, ina ;5ymposium on tho synagogue and its place in Jewish, life and -its contemporary poaitipni asserted that the primacy of: the synagogue may yet bS re¬ trieved "if thoae who are .of the synagogue, whether Orthodox, ,Conservativo or Eeform, will rise above our adariitted religious dif¬ ferences toward a unipn of the aynagoguc's religious forces." ' Ho also urged that tho syna¬ gogues, through the Synagogue Council, should demand of the B'nai B'rith, the Jewish Cpngi'ess and the American Jewish Commit¬ tee that they join with the Coun¬ cil in a ^unified front "before: tho world, a;fourfold front from which the characteriatic religious organi¬ zation of the Jew shall not;'para- doxically be absent." Dr. Lefkow¬ itz also deplored the fact that many ,rabbis are "not receiving de¬ cent salaries.and that no prpvisipn is made for them in time of sick¬ ness or pld age. He urged that spmething be done speedily "to change matters in pulpit placing," recommending that promotions go "to those who by their record de¬ serve advancement," and the'stam¬ pede of applications be ended and that pulpit-plaping take into ac- cpnnt .the needi of a congregation and 'tlien- supply it with -a-^abb whose qualities are known to fit the situation. The former president of the Con ference also urged hia colleagues to "demand"-^'that the¦:Conference be recognized as at least equal with those other, groupa that speak for American Israel" and proposed that "a wholehearted pi-ocess of Publicity among our own congre- gatioha of the statements and de¬ cisions of the. Conference :should be, developed by the different com¬ mittees of tho - Conference," with "every Jewiah newspaper, every Jewish .opinion-forming agency" supplied "with official digests of Conference activities and studies and pronouncements." Dr. Lefko¬ witz said that the two ways of reestabliahing tha synagogue's pri¬ macy are by making.it "worthy and capable pf accepting the responai- bilities that go with primacy, e synagogue which, supplies .the needs of our people in the social and religious spheres, throiigh a lofty spiritual service arid, an cn- liglitened, free arid capable rabbin ate, and by ii vigorous insistence that the synagogue has the'right of repl'oseriting the Jewish people, haa tho right of directive influence and leadership aa of bid.'' Rabbi Bernard. J. Bamberger, of Albany, N. Y., in a paper on "Tho History, of the Synagogue.and Its Service 'to-the Jew," aaid that "with reference to the past, some¬ thing very definite is meant by tho 'primacy of the synagogue.' Phys¬ ically and spiritually, the syna¬ gogue was-the center pf an inclu¬ sive, well-knit,' autenpiripus and re¬ ligiously hompgenoua community." The synagogue may assume pr macy in contemporary .Jewish life, ho declared, "but if ii does, the form and character of auch' pri macy will he very different from what it was in the time past." *, * * National Organization ATLANTIC CITY (WNS)—Or¬ ganization of a national federation of tho Jewish youth belonging to the 300 youth clubs affiliated with congrei;jations belonging to the Union of American Hebrew Congregations and ,the convening of a nationni convention of such clubs in. conjunction with the meeting of tho 36th Pouncll of the Union's executive committee. The ctecutivo coniraitlee also approved the formation of a federation et Rufprm temples in Metrppolitan New Ypi-k ioact as the representa¬ tive of Eeform Judaiam in that area iu all matters affecting re¬ ligipus, moral and conununal life. Profoundly: disturbed by the ad¬ vance pfanii-.Scmitism thrpugliout the world: and .'^purred on by tho dosiro to establish democratic unity in the dofenso of Jewish rights, Amencan Jewry, under the auspices of thc American Jewish Congrc.'i,^, goes to tho polls thia week-end for the second time in its history, to rcgisfei- its views ia support of a new and nation-wide effort to bring about collective se¬ curity of tho Jewiah people.

Jowish Congress the function of which will bo todeviseia prpgram which Will prctect the rights, lives, prop¬ erty and future of Jows now jeop¬ ardized in so many sections of the world. The elections this week-end are .'the culmination of tt three mouth campaign to acquaint the Jewish community pfthis courtti'y with the rapid advance of anti- Semitiarii which has. already jeop¬ ardized the lives and the. future of 5,000,000 Je%vs in EaatBm and Central Europe, and which ia marching onward. In 31S cities tjiroughont the United States, registration of Am¬ erican Jews for participation in this week-end's vote has been tak¬ ing place. It is expected-that the week-end's vote will be tho great¬ est popular demonstration of the desire of the Jewish masses in thia country to be identified with the defense of the rights of Jews. In 1917, when the first American Jewish Congress was established, 336,000 votes were caat by direct popular vote,. similar to the vote which will be taldng placo this week-end. It'is expected, however, that there.will.be a considerablb in- creaae io tho number of Jews who go to th'o polls on June 25th, 26th and 2.7,li;'-,^_ ^^^ ,_.^^ __ ^^ ¦ The delegates to be eleoted this week-end havo been nominated by special conventions ..called for this purpose throughout the country, in which all Jewish organizations ¦were invited to participate.

Euro¬ pean leadei's will be called upon to accurately describe the needs of Jewish life and to recommend the action to be taken by American Jewry, as tho largest and moat representative community in the world, to rehabilitate and render secure Jewjah life and existence abroad, This conference will take form of a meeting of the Adminis¬ trative Committeo of the' World .TeWish.'

In addition to tlio largo com- mimity of Jews ^rinaffiliated with organizations, there stand behind tho. elections tho; membership' arid leadership of the following: Jewish national. organizations of ' thia country.

The registration of'Voters for participation in tho elections reached a new high, .and popular interest in the elections was dem¬ onstrated by the tremendous out¬ pouring of attendance at the mass Tallied and the open ait meetings held throughout tho United Statea during the past week. In New York City, as; elaewhera throughout tha cbunti-y, tha election canipaign was officially concluded with a tre- menduoua mass rally held last night.

Nashua Police Department officers receive honors for exceptional achievement
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
NASHUA — Numerous city police officers — including four fallen members of the Nashua Police Department — were honored last week as part of National Police Week.
Select members of the city's police force were recognized for exceptional achievement, dedication and contributions throughout the past year during the department's annual awards ceremony on May 13.
Three officers, including Andrew Karlis, Peter Forgione and John Hannigan, each received a commendation bar for life-saving efforts.
Karlis' was honored for successfully performing CPR on a woman who he witnessed stumbling and eventually falling to the ground last fall while walking on a city sidewalk.
After a quick assessment of the 25-year-old woman, Karlis found she was not breathing, had no pulse and was turning blue, according to a press release. He initiated CPR and the woman resumed breathing on her own.
"Officer Karlis' knowledge, experience and decisive action resulted in saving a young woman's life," according to the press release.
Karlis also received the 2013 Nashua Police Department Officer of the Year Award.
Other honorees included retired officer Todd Moriarty, who received the Nashua Patrol Officers Association Officer of the Year award for 2013, and information technology network administrator Joshua St. Onge and detention specialist William Silva, who were both awarded Nashua Police Department Civilians of the Year awards for 2013.
Det. Marc Anderson and Sgt. Daniel Mederos were honored as 2013 Nashua Police Department Detectives of the Year.
In addition, the department's Crisis Intervention Unit received a commendation bar for distinguished unit action. Those individuals recognized include Lt. Francis Bourgeois, Sgt. Carlos Camacho, Det. Adalberto Garcia, Det. Christopher Ditullio, Det. Phillip Costa and officers Michael Dore and Nicole Clay.
Police Chief John Seusing also honored the families of four fallen officers by presenting each family with a badge that was ceremoniously retired.
The four fallen officers honored were Officer James Roche, Officer Michael Latvis, Officer Edward Graziano and Acting Chief Armand Roussel.
Roche died in 1928 after being shot by a burglar.
Latvis died in 1956 from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident while responding to an emergency call.
Graziano died in 1964 from injuries sustained during a motorcycle accident while patrolling Daniel Webster Highway.
Roussel died in 1971 after being shot by a man who had taken a hostage at gunpoint.
Several police volunteers also received recognition, including Mery Rose, Linda Gogolin, Eugene Mueller, Susan Curtis and Kathy Belknap.
Several officers received letters of recognition for their roles in various police investigations.

La Paz, Bolivia
Its been a dynamic 2 days, filled with meetings, client visits, presentations and lots of delicious mate de coca. Heres the update:
I sleep past my alarm and awake to the sounds of husting taxis sounding their horns outside my hotel window. Jumping up I throw on my dress suit and snag a cab downtown. Destination: FADES' headquarter office. The largest MFI in Bolivia, FADES serves over 21,000 rural borrowers through individual lending at 84 agencies scattered throughout the country. Stepping into the office, it certainly does feel like a production. 2 floors, lots of people who look busy at their desks, typing away, looking through books. The receptionist directs me upstairs to Fernando Mompo's office. The Executive Director and visionary behind FADES, Fernando greets me warmly, and we take a seat in his spacious office and are served coca tea, starting off with the usual small talk. How's the altitude treating you? First time in Bolivia? The atmosphere feels formal, a stark change from my previous day in the field up in El Alto. But thats why I love this work~ each day a new deck of cards!
Hangin with a Kiva borrower
We start to gab and I immediately feel more at ease. I learn all about their work, origins, reach, credit policies, MIS systems. Its supremely interesting, and at the end of 2 hours I have to apologize for asking so many questions! Aldo Terrazas, my first contact at FADES, joins us and we gab together for moment, catching up from our phone call a few weeks back. The conversation then turns to Kiva and I'm on point. Sales time! I go through our presentation and field the questions that by now I've some to expect. Some on interest rates, others on client selection. All in all the meeting goes well, and we close by making plans for field visits on my way up to Peru on Sunday. Its a win-win for me, I get to meet their borrowers in the field, and I get a lift to the border. Score! Plus, they're delighted by Kiva and want to start immediately…time to talk to the Kiva team:)
Learning how to sew with a Kiva borrower
We bid farewell and I hit the streets of La Paz. Killing a few hours I get hopelessly lost in the cobblestone alleyways, and as it nears 3 o'clock I surrender and hop a cab back to city center, and then over to ProMujer. Third visit to the offices and its starting to feel like home. I meet Daniel, their new "Kiva hire" who will be responsible for traveling around to their field offices and collecting stories to upload to Kiva. Talk about a cool job. I show him the site, train him on the intricacies of our model, and then we're good to go. We can expect businesses as early as next week, I'm assured. 1 small step for Kiva, but one big step for Bolivian microfinance
So then its Thursday.
I've been waiting for this day all week. The day I finally get to meet our borrowers and the IMPRO staff I've been working with remotely since February. 9am and I'm in the offices, the entire team (around 14 people) gathered around me, all of us dressed in winter clothes and sipping coca team. The office is humble~ one room, desks lining the perimeter, a small conference room (Kiva team, sound familiar??) and no central heating. Walking in I smile and think to myself, these are my people:) We dive into Q+A. They share their beginnings, their deep commitment to their borrowers, the creative solutions they've come up with to help solve the unique problems of the poor.
A Neighborhood IMPRO serves
One great example: "Pretamos Anticreditos." The vast majority of IMPRO's clients, especially in the urban and sub-urban areas, don't own property, and have few prospects of doing so in the forseeable future. Poor women and men with no papers, few assets, and often no ability to read or write, they are some of the most vulnerable populations in Bolivia. They rent rooms and apartments on illegal settlements dottling the hillsides overlooking La Paz. At any moment their adobe houses could crumble from the Spring rains, get demolished by the government or a private landowner, or get re-possesed by their landlords.
Me and Enrique, an IMPRO loan officer
with La Paz in the background
IMPRO has come up with a creative loan product to serve borrowers such as these. They issue 0% interest credit to the landowner's their clients rent from. This free line of credit serves as an upfront rental payment, and during the course of the loan renters make monthly payments to IMPRO, with interest. Then, at the end of the term, landowners are required to pay back the principal of the loan to IMPRO's clients. In essence, this is their savings that they have been accumulating during the course of the loan. Its ingenious for a few reasons: 1) It helps ensure landowners don't mistreat tenants as their contract is with a reputable institution, and not just a poor and often vulnerable individual. 2) It helps IMPRO clients generate savings, and at the end of the loan term they have a level of liquidity that they otherwise would not have had. 3) It serves as a "security deposit" for landowners. Its products like these that leave no doubt in my mind about the integrity and social orientation of this Kiva field partner. I'm delighted to talk to the team, and to hear about their innovations such as this one.
We wrap up the morning's Q+A and head out to a yummy lunch, full of dynamic conversation about the Bolivian economy, the re-possession of the oil reserves, socialism, the microeconomy, and how it all ties together. Bolivia is such a completely intriguing country. So much to say on it, perhaps a blog for a long plane ride:)
Lilia and Veronica, Kiva borrowers
with their loan officer Enrique, and me!
Then its to the field. We visit Lilia and Veronica, 2 sisters who have recently received loans to build bathrooms in their house. With no sanitation and limited access to potable water, many people in the "barrios populares" overlooking La Paz are forced to go to the bathroom wherever they can~ in the street, in alleyways, their backyards. Its a huge health problem, and also has obvious rippling social and cultural implications. The loans they've each taken out from IMPRO will help them build 2 facilities within their living space for their respective husbands, families and children. We come upon them washing clothes in the early afternoon sun. Smiling and introducing themselves, they hop up to give us the grand tour. The adobe walls of their house look as if they'll crumble to the touch. Their clothes hang drying in the crisp Andean air. Dogs roam the compound.
We sit with them and go over their plans. The folded paper ripples in the mountain breeze. Enrique, their loan officer who is also an architect by training, has helped them come up with their building plans, and as part of the evaluation process, has also worked with Lilia and Veronica to map out a longer term strategy for the improvement of their home (brick walls, partitions for their respective families, green space). The improvements will come in time, but for now they're each concentrating on the task at hand.
A Kiva borrower
Off to visit more clients, then back to my hotel for a meeting. Just because I'm in Bolivia doesn't mean I get out of the normal responsibilities:) I dial into the Kiva conference line and gab with my colleagues on the other side of the world. We pull up our spreadsheets, debate number and concepts of the various projects we're involved in. Share ideas. Rev on our work. For a moment I forget I'm on the other side of the world, laying on my hotel room bed with my earphones in, my skype account on the screen. It all feels so normal, and I can even hear the usual office sounds in the background. Looking up from my computer, I smile to myself as the evening breeze blows in through the window. The world, indeed, has gotten very, very small…..
Until next time:)

Dear Editor:
On Friday August 2nd I used a vacation day at work and traveled downto the Federal Court house in Newark to watch the sentencing of Patrick Ricciardi for crimes related to his wiretapping of the mayor's office. What I saw at the proceedings profoundly shocked me and shook myfaith in our courts.
At this point most know how around May of 2011, over two years ago, anetwork security audit detected Ricciardi's network wiretapping and the mayor's office turned this evidence over to Federal Law Enforcement. In this very paper we read of Ricciardi's arrest in November of 2011and the announcement that forgoing a trial Ricciardi decided to plead guilty in March of 2013. Knowing all of this I expected Judge Salas to treat this crime seriously and professionally. I was wrong.
August 2nd's farce was kicked off by Ricciardi's public defender claiming there to be a conspiracy against his client going so far asto allege that letters written to the judge by the public had all been printed on the same machine. He then bizarrely claimed that the Federal investigation which had started in May 2011 was some sort of 2013 election ploy.
The worst was yet to come. As Judge Salas began by telling the defendant that these were very serious crimes mid-speaking she must have changed her mind because the sentence handed out was insulting to the people of Hoboken and theFederal Justice system. Far from holding Ricciardi responsible the judge decided to give no jail time, refused to levy a fine, and told Ricciardi that he could pay restitution to Hoboken tax payers for hiscrimes in $50 monthly installments over the next 22 years. Short of apologizing to Ricciardi for his arrest and conviction there was little else JudgeSalas could do to show how little she thought of the law.
Judge Salas' reasoning for this sentence was equally as odd. Judge Salas evidently felt that losing your job for bugging office emails was a severe punishment as if that was not something to be expected. Also Ricciardi had adult children who "needed" their father. All of Ricciardi's children are over the age of 18. At what age does the cry of "won't someone think of the children" stop?
Capping off this judicial caricature was Judge Ester Salas' warning to Ricciardi that if he violated probation that he would have to appear before her, the very judge who was giving this laughable sentence, to answer forit. A more serious threat would have been to warn Ricciardi that if he violated probation that she would resign from the bench and do everything in her power to see that his case was heard before a judge who took federal crime seriously.
Judge Esther Salas' message to the people of Hoboken could not beclearer, drop dead. That Hoboken will need to look elsewhere for leadership and protection from crime and corruption. Hoboken will haveto save itself from the corruption that has robbed it of so much potential and tax dollars because Judge Salas is neither interested nor up to the job.

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas forward Marshawn Powell said last Thursday he feels 95 percent recovered from last November's season-ending knee injury.
The junior was asked a night later if he wanted to amend the percentage after showing little rust during the Razorbacks' Primetime at the Palace scrimmage.
"I'm going to stick with 95 percent," Powell said.
It doesn't matter if he's 95, 98 or 100 percent, though. Arkansas is just glad to see the junior back on the court as it dives into preseason practice this month.
The 6-foot-7 forward, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a practice in North Little Rock, scored a scrimmage-high 15 points in the preseason practice tip-off event. He slashed to the basket for layups, battled down low with the big men and even stepped outside to knock down jump shots.
Arkansas is adding seven newcomers to its 2012-13 roster, but Powell might as well be part of the group. After all, he did just play in two games last season after averaging 19.5 points and 6.0 rebounds before suffering the injury.
"He's going to make us a lot better," Arkansas guard BJ Young said. "It's what, 20 and 8 rebounds we were missing last year?
"Whatever it was, he's a big-time player and we're happy to have him back."
The Razorbacks sorely missed his production, leaning on inexperienced players like Hunter Mickelson and Devonta Abron to shoulder the load in the post. It put pressure on Arkansas' backcourt, forcing the guard-oriented team to produce.
The Razorbacks struggled down the stretch and it was hard for Powell to watch.
"You couldn't tell? You couldn't look at me in the face and tell?" Powell said when asked how hard it was to sit out. "I'm telling you, it was so frustrating. I just thank God I made it through it was a sane head. A sane mind."
Powell tried to make the most of his time off the floor. He became a film junkie, of sorts, studying Arkansas' games last season to develop a better understanding of what Anderson expects in his system. He thinks it has paid off.
"Old game film, practice film," Powell said. "Every practice that we had, I watched it. Every game that we played last year I watched it. I'm continuing to watch it just to learn from it. I had to watch it because I couldn't move. Sit on the couch and couldn't move. But I enjoyed it. I learned a lot from it."
Powell's unofficial return to action came during Arkansas' trip to Italy. He didn't log heavy minutes, but did contribute overseas. It was a good experience for Powell, who called it a "trial and error" trip as he went up and down the floor.
Anderson called it an important week for Powell because it helped his confidence.
"Sometimes you have an injury you have a mental block," Anderson said last Thursday. "That's why I was glad he had the chance to play over in Italy. We played him to get some of the rust off and I can see when he's running he's running full strides and making full strides where he had been running guarded."
So what is keeping Powell from being back to full speed?
The forward said it's simply a matter of going out and proving he can play against other opponents. He'll have some time to prepare for his official return the next few weeks. Arkansas plays its exhibition opener on Nov. 2.
"I just don't really know how it will be against an opponent I'm not used to going against every day," Powell said. "But I feel good."
Arkansas hopes it continues for Powell, who has been plagued by injuries.
He is being counted on to lead a frontcourt that, while undersized, appears to have more athleticism than last year's group. Mickelson returns this season and is joined by newcomers Jacorey Williams and Coty Clarke. Arkansas also is waiting for the NCAA's decision on Houston transfer Alandise Harris' immediate eligibility.
Each player will have a key role, but Powell's performance could have a big say in whether the Razorbacks become an NCAA Tournament team this season.
"I haven't played a full season with Marshawn yet since I've been here," Arkansas junior Mardracus Wade said. "Hopefully everything goes smooth this year and we can keep him on the court and keep him healthy."
Wade said Powell looks good so far, shaking his head when asked if he thought the forward was 95 percent recovered from the knee injury. Wade sees more and said Arkansas is ready to add Powell back to the frontcourt this season.
"Marshawn looks like 100 percent to me. But if Marshawn says 95, we'll go with 95," Wade said. "He's working hard. He's getting back into shape. He's doing everything to get back on the floor. He's looking really good.
"I can't wait. He's going to be a very, very big part of this team."

SNHU to boost online offeringsBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
November 24. 2012 10:50PM
MANCHESTER - Paul LeBlanc, president of Southern New Hampshire University, is quickly filling up the white grease board in his office as he attempts to diagram the progress of what has become the fastest growing university in the country, if you count online students. And he certainly does.
The private, not-for-profit university may only have about next level with the launch of College for America - a Web-based approach to higher education whereby the school will partner with employers to develop competency-based programs that reward proven skills rather than grades on a transcript.
College for America will offer a two-year degree for only $5,000, most of it funded by financial aid or employer contributions. The idea of an associate degree in general studies from an accredited university, with a focus on business administration, at such a low cost, is attracting a lot of attention.
When LeBlanc talks about the possibility of a bachelor's degree for $10,000, people take notice.
The CFA program was approved in September by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, the regional accrediting association that establishes standards for all levels of education, from pre-K to doctoral. It's the first program of its kind to be considered by the federal Department of Education for Title 4 approval, which would make students in the program eligible for Pell Grants and other forms of federal financial aid.
Title 4 approval has traditionally been predicated on the credit hour - the three-credit course - but there is a provision in the law designed to support assessment of skills and competency. "We are waiting eagerly to see if the Department of Education will approve it (the CFA) on that basis," said LeBlanc. "We have passed their preliminary review, and we submitted at their behest. We didn't go in uninvited."
Even with Department of Education approval still pending, several major employers have already signed up for CFA programs and expect to collectively enroll a few hundred students in the first semester. The college's charter partners in New Hampshire include Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and Riverwoods Retirement Community in Exeter. The city of Memphis, Federal Express and ConAgra Foods have also signed deals for their employees.
The CFA is employer based and has no "retail" component for now, but if it grows at the same rate as the college's conventional online programs, the sky's the limit. LeBlanc points out that the school's traditional for-credit online courses with faculty instructors grew from a few hundred students five years ago to 23,000 today. With the right corporate partnerships, LeBlanc believes CFA could be enrolling 100,000 to 200,000 students in a few years.
Getting national attention
His predictions are not to be shrugged off, given SNHU's track record in the past decade. The school has been getting so much attention for its growth in online enrollment and revenue that LeBlanc spends much of his time on the speaking circuit these days, explaining how a small, regional university grew annual revenues from $32 million in 2009 to $128 million in 2013 and is on track to earn $200 million next year.
The school was recently featured in a Forbes special section on innovation and was recognized by FAST magazine as one of the 12 most innovative companies in the world - the only university to make the list. LeBlanc will be the keynote speaker at Educause 2013, the premier information technology convention for higher education.
He is quick to share the credit with his associates at SNHU and to point out that the university had a culture of innovation when he arrived, in 2003. "I didn't bring innovation to the university. It was here, and I was able to build on that tradition," he said. "Long before I arrived, SNHU launched a three-year undergraduate degree, and it's only now getting the proper attention and celebration because all of the sudden three-year programs are all the rage."
Online learning is certainly all the rage, as well, but until SNHU came along, it was largely the domain of big for-profit online players such as the University of Phoenix, Kaplan or DeVry.
"The thing that many of them feared for a long time was that a nonprofit would figure out how to develop the same operational prowess," LeBlanc said. "We think that given the choice between the two, the market will always go for the not-for-profit, as long as they can be as good."
SNHU has paid a lot of attention to developing that operational prowess. While most traditional brick-and-mortar colleges or universities have dipped their toes into online with a smattering of offerings controlled mostly by existing faculty, SNHU dove in with both feet, set up an independent online operation in a separate location in the Manchester Millyard, and funded it aggressively.
"We moved (the online operation) downtown almost six years ago with under 25 people," he said. "Today we have 350. We are one of the best employment stories in Manchester. These are good-paying jobs - marketing people, data analytics, media communications, academic people."
The traditional online operation, known as the College of Online and Continuing Education, set the stage for the College For America project, but just as the online operation was separated from the main campus, the CFA will also have its own space and its own staff.
Different objectives
Back at the grease board, LeBlanc draws images to represent each of the school's three student groups - the traditional on-campus student; the online student; and the new CFA student. Each has different goals that the university is trying to meet.
The traditional student population is not likely to grow much larger than the current 2,050 students, LeBlanc said, because that is the optimum size for the "coming-of-age" experience that most postsecondary school students are looking for. Those students have benefited from the school's online strategy, as the revenue growth has poured millions into the SNHU endowment, scholarships, financial aid and buildings.
"We've increased our dollars invested back into supporting students by 65 percent in three years," he said. "We're building a new library right now on the main campus. So it's not just online growth. The main campus has grown tremendously. We have 40 students in local hotels again this year, and 80 students in converted lounges or triples. We're constructing a new 300-bed dormitory."
A four-year degree for those students will cost more than $110,000.
Students in the College of Online and Continuing Education are a different group with different goals. They're looking for career advancement and credentials. "This is the 30-year-old typically who has two priorities in their education - family and career - someone who has served in the military, has been in the workplace. They came of age a long time ago." Their degree will cost them about $38,000.
The College for America targets the lowest people on the corporate food chain - people for whom higher education has traditionally been out of reach, the person making a modest hourly wage, looking for an on-ramp to move up in their company. In an economy where 70 percent of all new jobs are going to require a two-year degree or better, they are in danger of being left behind. That's where the $10,000 degree comes in.
Making big claims
"We make two big claims to employers," LeBlanc said. "If you work with us, we will educate your employees at much lower cost, and we will stand behind the claims we make on their learning like no other institution in the country."
The students can work at their own pace, with no set end or start times for semesters or course offerings. They work with instructional materials created by SNHU personnel from a variety of sources and in a variety of media, with peer and mentor support from the online community and in the workplace. At various points in the learning process, the work of the student is evaluated by an expert in the field, who may or may not be an SNHU faculty member. If the work meets the college standards, the student moves on to the next level.
The writing program, for example, starts with this competency: "Can write a paragraph." It then moves on to "Can write a five-paragraph essay," and several competencies later ends with "Can write an appropriately researched and documented argumentative text."
Not only does the university certify that the student can do those things, it also provides online proof in the form of a virtual portfolio containing the student's work in text, audio or video formats for review by an incumbent or potential employer.
The College for America isn't designed to supplant traditional online offerings with their paid instructional materials and distinguished faculty, and it certainly isn't designed to replace the on-campus college experience for American youth. It is testing a new model that extends access to higher education across the economic spectrum and ties outcomes directly to the needs of employers.
Most of all, CFA wants to prove that higher education can deliver on its traditional promise.
"We are seeing too many people pass through higher ed who can't do what they claim they can do," LeBlanc said. "Traditionally, we were OK with the transcript because of the notion that the traditional college degree meant something. We assumed if you had a college degree you could write, you could do math. We assumed if you had a college degree you had some sense of the scientific process and method. People don't assume that anymore."

A Photographer Captures Nature's Fragility and the Unlikely Beauty of New Jersey's Dismal Swamp
With his bold, semi-abstract images of nature, Bryan Graf seeks to reinvent landscape photography. Transforming his images of trees, gardens, wildlife, and people with a variety of pre- and post-production interventions, Graf produces eerie evocations of natural phenomena that simultaneously deny the expected beauty of nature and offer a new aesthetic of their own. For some photographs Graf exposes his film directly to natural light leaks; others he manipulates extensively post-production to heighten the visual effects of light and shadow. He often turns to sites and landscapes that have been abandoned due to pollution, "determined by random dereliction, the discarded debris of our culture grafting itself into the landscape and nature refusing to stop doing its own work," as he describes.

If anybody wants to hear these old recordings of mine and send me a PM requesting the link, I will reply with the link to the page...this way, I'm not cluttering up a paranormal site with shameless self-promotion. I'm not doing this for any other reason than to share. Originally, some people who've heard these tapes (and are still on speaking terms with me) have asked me when I was going to put them onto the internet. Many months of hemming and hawing later, I decided to just go ahead with it. I do put the link up on my FB page, but I'm not getting nearly as much feedback (good or bad or indifferent) as I'd hoped - but they ARE available.
But - and it's an important "but" - I am not a singer. I used to be an "alright" guitar player, and an even worse keyboard player (I'd be lost without the "auto chord" function!). I made most of the recordings on that site as a hobby...not looking for fame and fortune or anything like that. Only a select few had heard these tapes when I originally made them. Now, they are available to anybody who wants to hear them. So feel free to PM me, and get that rusty nail (or, trusty ice pick) handy. You might be able to "un-hear" them, but it might be harder to forget them.

If I were a Sport's Writer assigned to write an Article about Amelie Mauresmo (FRA), her victories & defeats, highs & lows, accomplishments & aspirations, I would undoubtedly have to start by writing about her debut on the Tennis Circuit and bring us to the present time. If I were to summarize her career thus far, I'd have to say this is a Player who seems to doubt her abilities at the most critical moments.
Most Players start off shaky and build from there until they've carved out a nice niche for themselves on the Tour. Maybe placing 1 or 2 Slam Titles under their belt and quite possibly a dozen Tour Titles by time they're in their 5th year.
It seems Amelie isn't growing in confidence but more so losing confidence as her career moves on. When you watch her play, she reminds me of Jana Novatna who I felt was a very capable Player, able to beat many on the Tour but had a tendency to choke on big occasions.
As a Coach, I've witnessed choking on many levels and have learned there's no cookie cutter explanation on how to handle it when it happens from one player to the next. When you look at Mauresmo's accomplishments, you will see what is basically a stellar career thus far. Although she only held the #1 Ranking for 5 weeks, Amelie has wins over most of the Top Players in the World.
When I watch her play, I don't necessarily see any one dominant weapon that she can pull from to get her through a tough moment. Amelie is however what I would consider an all court player, able to feel at home at the Net or at the Baseline on Clay, Grass or Hardcourts.
What I would like to see from Amelie is to get down in the Final Set, fight to come back and win. But what I've normally seen from her is getting down and staying down. She has the ability to do this however she is accustomed to losing these types of situations and needs a good break through. Mauresmo is talented enough to actually win the French Open, formerly a number one Player and is very fit yet is never considered a Contender in the Slams anymore. Even when she was #1 in the World and considered a Contender, no one truly believed she would eventually win the Title.
I'm questioning whether you believe her coach isn't doing a good enough job convincing her that she's capable or is it something else?

College Football: Villanova rolls into Durham for key gameBy ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 18. 2013 9:42PM
DURHAM — When Villanova last visited Cowell Stadium two years ago, New Hampshire quarterback Kevin Decker threw for 395 yards and three touchdowns and his team rolled up 557 yards of offense en route to a 47-17 rout.
Villanova suffered through a rare rough season that year and finished 2-9.
Andy Talley's team is back now and brings a No. 12 ranking, 4-2 overall mark, four-game win streak and 3-0 record in the Colonial Athletic Association into today's noontime clash against UNH at Cowell.
Most impressively, Villanova comes in off a solid 45-35 win at Towson last Saturday. New Hampshire lost at Towson, 44-28, two weeks ago.
"After what we saw of Towson and then how these guys played against Towson, we're not getting lot of sleep at night," said UNH coach Sean McDonnell.
McDonnell's team — it shares its Wildcat nickname with Villanova — is teetering.
UNH is 2-3 overall, 1-1 in the CAA, and can ill afford another loss if it hopes to return to the FCS playoffs for a 10th straight season.
New Hampshire must deal with Villanova sophomore quarterback John Robertson, for starters.He went to his coaches and said he wanted to get back to running the ball more, as he did last year. Against Towson, he completed his first 17 passes and was 17-for-18 for the game for 182 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for 150 yards and three scores.
UNH sophomore quarterback Sean Goldrich and his offense will try to keep pace with Robertson and his. Goldrich, who started six games last week, started his first game of the season last week and led UNH to a 50-19 win over Rhode Island.
Andy Vailas, the junior out of Bedford, started the first four games this season but had arthroscopic surgery on his knee and is out.
"We know it's going to be our biggest challenge yet," Goldrich said. "There's nothing to be scared of. We know we do have a talented offense. When we show up Saturday everyone knows we have our backs against the wall."
McDonnell hopes to have a full group of offensive linemen available.
Sean Ryan, a senior offensive guard from Londonderry, is back from injury and expected to play for the first time this year.
Alexander Morrill, a redshirt freshman lineman from Lebanon, will play as well. He filled in as a starter last week for Tad McNeely, who is also due back.
They will try to protect Goldrich against a big Villanova rush and also open holes for running backs Nico Steriti, Chris Setian and others.
Steriti has carried 70 times for 457 yards, an average of 6.5 yards a carry.
Villanova is 0-3 in its last three games in Durham and last won at Cowell, 48-14, in 2003.
- - - - - - -
St. Anselm, 0-6 overall and 0-5 in the Northeast-10, plays its Homecoming game today at 1 p.m. against Merrimack, 3-3. Armond McRae, a sophomore out of Nashua South, averages 7.2 yards a carry on 40 rushes for Merrimack. . . . Dartmouth, 2-2 overall and 1-1 in the Ivy League, plays Bucknell, 1-4, at home at 1:30 today in its final non-league game. Senior tailback Dominick Pierre averages 133.8 yards a game to lead the Ivy League in rushing. . . . Plymouth State, 1-4 overall and 0-3 in the MASCAC, plays Bridgewater State, 3-3 and 2-1, at home at 1 p.m. today.

Your device
We can tell you about all the devices you can use with the NGT app, or if you already know the device you want to use please select it from the list below:
Android phone| Android tablet| iPhone| iPad| MS Windows| Linux| Mac (Intel)| other| Braille display
How Speak & Hear works
Using your telephone or mobile you can call or be called by someone who can't hear and/or speak over the phone. They will be typing and reading the phone conversation and a relay assistant, connected automatically into the call, will read you what is typed and type your reply.
In some cases the other person will speak direct to you while the relay assistant types what you say, they could also be able to hear you and the relay assistant will be reading to you what they type.
Relay Assistant
When using NGT to talk to someone who uses text a relay assistants is automatically connected into your call. The relay assistant stays on the line throughout your call, or as long as they're needed. They relay the conversation by typing what you say and speaking the words typed by the other person.
The other person might speak directly to you, if they do please be patient as it might take a couple of seconds for you to tune in to their voice.
The relay assistant only relays the conversation, they take no other part in the call. All calls handled by relay assistants are private and confidential. The emergency services, many government departments, banks and building societies use our services. Personal, sensitive and confidential information is relayed securely.
Direct text conversations
It could be that due to the nature of your phone conversation you don't want a relay assistant involved or that you'd rather talk direct to someone who uses text. If this is the case you can still use the NGT Service.
As long as you've downloaded and installed the free NGT Lite app you can have a direct text conversation without a relay assistant.
NGT automatic changes the way it sets up your phone call depending on the devices being used. Please click here for information on how to use NGT Lite.
Important notes when having a direct text conversation:
- Without a relay assistant NGT can't convert speech to text or text to speech. When having a direct text conversation using the NGT Lite app you can either type or speak to each other. However this will depend on whether or not the other person can hear or speak.
- If the other person is using a textphone and speaking to you there'll be a delay between them saying "go ahead" and you being able to type to them.
- If the other person is using a textphone and listening to you there'll be a delay before you'll see their typed reply.

A single mother with a toddler is looking for an apartment in Boston. She qualifies for subsidized housing and is searching for a two-bedroom unit near public transportation so that she can easily get to and from work and day care.
She calls about a unit. When the owner finds out she has a Section 8 subsidy and a child under 6, he tells her that the apartment is not available.
Identifying discrimination
Is this mother being treated fairly? This fall, Suffolk University Law students will have an opportunity to identify discrimination in housing and then do something about it.
Grant funds expansion of partnership
Thanks to a $150,000 grant provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Suffolk University Law School will expand its partnership with the Boston Fair Housing Commission to explore the prevalence of housing discrimination in Boston. The grant will provide resources so that students can identify and assess discrimination cases firsthand.
Students currently work on housing matters on behalf of indigent individuals, including fair housing cases.
"We are looking forward to focusing attention on housing discrimination," said William Berman, a clinical professor of Law and associate director of clinical programs. "Our sense is, unfortunately, that it is rampant. Before this grant there has been limited capacity to do any systematic testing."
Berman has hired a fellow to lead the initiative. Together they will develop testing protocols and analyze data obtained by the students.
"The grant allows us to pay students to serve as testers," said Berman. "They will be trained to understand what constitutes discrimination in housing and they will learn about the neighborhoods they will cover. Most importantly, we will ensure that they have an eye toward fairness and objectivity and know how to report discrimination."
Testing for discrimination
Students will make phone calls to inquire about listings or show up in person to view rentals on the market. The grant covers complaint-based testing, which focuses on reports of discrimination, and systematic testing to uncover a pattern or practice of discrimination. They will focus on discrimination regarding family status, disabilities, sexual preferences, and housing subsidies.
"We will assist individuals who have experienced discrimination and may handle some of these cases in our Housing Clinic," said Berman. "We will analyze and report our findings to HUD and will suggest appropriate policy changes as a result of the information we obtain."
Developing critical thinking
To complement this initiative, a course on Fair Housing Law will be offered in the fall. The course, called Housing Discrimination and Landlord Tenant Law, will merge real experience with theory.
"We will bring the information gathered in the field to the class and develop assignments based on what our testers learn," said Berman. "As an institution, our goal is to help our students become critical thinkers. This grant offers an invaluable opportunity to develop these skills by participating in real-life circumstances."

Anthrax is an infection, which can be life threatening.
There are 3 forms of human anthrax, depending on where anthrax enters the body:
- Cutaneous (or skin)—spores enter through a cut or break in the skin (most common)
- Inhaled—breathing airborne spores into the lungs
- Gastrointestinal—ingesting spores in raw or undercooked food
Once anthrax is in the body, it multiplies and releases toxins. The toxins cause swelling, bleeding, and tissue death. All forms of anthrax can cause death, but inhaled anthrax has a much higher mortality rate once symptoms develop.
Anthrax is caused by exposure to a specific bacteria or its spores. These spores are created by the bacteria and can survive in the environment for decades. The bacteria and spores can be found in the soil and livestock like cattle and goats. It is rare, but people can contract anthrax from:
- Infected animals
- Infected animal products
- Spores in the environment
Risk Factors
Risk factors for anthrax include the following:
- Working in a laboratory with anthrax bacteria
- Working with anthrax-infected animals or their products, such as at a farm, leather tannery, woolery, or veterinary clinic
- Exposure to criminal acts or biologic terrorism
Symptoms usually start within a few days of exposure. They vary depending on the type of disease.
Inhalation Symptoms
Inhalation anthrax symptoms occur in stages over several days. It may start with cold or flu symptoms such as:
- Cough
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Fever
- Chills
- Headache
- Muscle aches
Sometimes a brief period of seeming recovery will occur followed by rapid onset of:
- Severe difficulty breathing
- Chest pain
- Sweating
- Delirium
- Death
Cutaneous Symptoms
Symptoms may occur in stages:
- Raised bump, like an insect bite, that is itchy and round
- Raised area opens, forming an ulcer with a black area in the center and producing drainage of clear or pinkish fluid
- Swelling around the wound
- Swollen, painful lymph nodes
Gastrointestinal Symptoms
These symptoms will depend on the location of the lesions. Mouth and throat lesions can cause:
- Swelling in throat
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Sore throat
Lesions in the intestines can cause:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Fever
- Abdominal pain
- Bloody diarrhea
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. You will also be asked about potential sources of exposure. A physical exam will be done.
Fluid from wounds, mucosal membranes, and body fluids may be tested for bacteria. A blood test may be done to look for the presence of antibodies to anthrax.
If inhalation anthrax is suspected, your doctor may order a chest x-ray to examine your lungs.
It is important to start antibiotics early. Any delay greatly increases the risk of death, especially with inhalation anthrax. Treatment may be started with IV medications followed by oral antibiotics. You may need to take antibiotics for many weeks.
Inhalation anthrax may also be treated with a monoclonal antibody that specifically targets and neutralizes the anthrax bacteria.
If you have skin lesions, they will be carefully cleaned and dressed with bandages.
Public Health Measures
Finding the source of the anthrax is important. Public health officials will check places where the infected person lives and works. Contaminated surfaces should be disinfected. Other people who may have been exposed will be tested. They may be given preventative antibiotics.
It is difficult to tell if you have been exposed. Anthrax is colorless, and has no smell or taste. Seek medical care if you suspect that you have had contact with anthrax. Antibiotics may be able to prevent infection following exposure. There is a vaccine to prevent anthrax. It requires multiple shots and is only partially effective. The vaccine is not recommended for the general population. It is routinely given to military personnel.
Strategies to prevent exposure to anthrax include:
- Avoid contact with infected animals or animal products.
- Do not touch fluid draining from an anthrax wound.
Handle suspicious mail properly:
- Do not open mail from an unknown source.
- Do not shake packages.
- Do not smell or taste contents.
- Put the parcel down and immediately wash your hands with soap and warm water.
- Call local law enforcement.
