DOVER — Murder suspect Seth Mazzaglia was ordered to be held without bail Monday during his arraignment on charges relating to the death of University of New Hampshire student Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott.
Dover Circuit Court Judge Stephen Morrision said Mazzaglia faces a felony second-degree murder charge for strangling and/or suffocating Marriott on October 9.
"What it alleges," Morrison said, "Is that on October 9 you recklessly caused the death of Elizabeth Marriott under circumstances manifesting in extreme indifference to the value of human life by strangling her and/or suffocating her." The crime is alleged to have occurred in Mazzaglia's apartment on 1 Mill Street in Dover.
Mazzaglia, who's currently held at the Strafford County House of Corrections, is due to appear in court for a probable cause hearing on October 29 at 10 a.m.
Morrison, who entered no plea on Mazzaglia's behalf, said the defendant has already filled out a petition for legal counsel.
Morrison also announced the state will allow Mazzaglia's attorney an opportunity to view the affidavit attached to warrants authorizing police to arrest Mazzaglia and search his apartment over the weekend. This information, which will be divulged to the public defenders office, will not be made public to anyone other than Mazzaglia and his legal counsel.
Later Monday afternoon, Young announced marine patrol was still searching for Marriott's body in the area near Lookout Point at Peirce Island based on credible information previously obtained by investigators. She announced strong currents in the area off Peirce Island had made the search increasingly difficult, but announced investigators were using sonar equipment and underwater cameras to aid their recovery efforts. She said the search may last several more days.
"We have not discussed an end date," she announced at approximately 3:30 p.m. across from the Dover Circuit Court. "We have discussed continuing with this until we find her."
Young also announced the Dover Police Department is now leading the investigation into Marriott's death and disappearance. She urged anyone with information pertaining to the case call the police department at 603-742-4646. Those individuals who wish to remain anonymous may call the Dover Crimeline at 603-749-6000.
Marriott was last seen Tuesday night while attending a class at the UNH Durham campus. According to Anthony Hanna, Marriott's uncle, his niece told a friend she was leaving UNH at 9 p.m. and heading to the home of a female friend in Dover on Mill Street. Marriott reportedly never arrived at the home.
Hanna said police discovered Marriott's phone sent two more transmissions on Tuesday evening — one at about 9:30 p.m. and another at about 10:10 p.m. The last transmission was sent from a cell phone tower in Dover, according to Hanna.
Portsmouth and state police began searching for Marriott's body in the area around Peirce Island and Prescott Park beginning at approximately 7:30 p.m. Friday. Despite a search effort lasting throughout the night and into Saturday, investigators were unable to locate Marriott's body. The search was called off on Sunday due to dangerous water conditions.
On Saturday, Assistant Attorney General James Vara announced Marriott's vehicle, a 2001 tan colored Mazda Tribute, was located at a UNH parking lot. He said investigators were combing Marriott's vehicle for clues and stressed other UNH students were not at risk.
"I want to confirm there are no other threats to the other students at UNH," he said. "This is unrelated other than the fact she's a student at the university."
Citing an ongoing investigation, Vara offered minimal details in terms of Mazzaglia's role in Marriott's disappearance. Although he stated the two knew each other, he could not provide information such as Mazzaglia's address or where he works. Mazzaglia is a UNH alumnus.
Vara also declined to address whether police presence at an apartment on Mill Street in Dover late Friday night was also linked to Marriott's disappearance. A Dover crime van and two police cruisers were seen exiting an apartment at 1 Mill Street and had taped off a dumpster in close proximity to the building.
Mazzaglia appears to have been the operator of a website located at www.sjmazzaglia.com. The page provides career history for a man named Seth J. Mazzaglia living at 1 Mill St. in Dover.
The website indicates Mazzaglia is an "experienced actor, writer and fight choreographer," who has been active in southern New Hampshire's theater community for several years.
The website indicates Mazzaglia graduated from Berwick Academy in 2001, and earned a bachelor's degree in theater, with a minor in dance, from UNH in 2006. The university confirmed Saturday that Mazzaglia earned a theater degree that year.
The 19-year-old Marriott is a 2011 graduate of Westborough High School in Massachusetts and was studying marine biology at UNH, according to her uncle. She attended Manchester Community College her freshman year before transferring to UNH this year. She was living with her aunt and uncle in Chester, N.H. and commuting to UNH to save money.
Hanna described his niece as an "all-around nice kid," who was quiet and loved to read.
"She's a very nice person," he said. "She's a very pretty girl, which is — she's also, I would say, a little bit young and naive. When you're at that age, life is great and everyone's your friend. She's a very trusting person. But (she has) a good outlook on life."
The web domains FindLizzi.com, FindLizzie.com, and FindLizzy.com have all been bought by Marriott's family. A Help Find Lizzi Marriott Facebook page has also been established.
State police, FBI agents, and police from UNH, Dover, and Chester have been participating in the search, as well as authorities from Marriott's hometown of Westborough, Massachusetts.

Nashua ready to get rolling on Manchester Street bridgeBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
March 20. 2013 11:24PM
NASHUA - More than a decade after recommendations were first made to improve the nearly 80-year-old Manchester Street Bridge, work to replace the failing structure could begin this fall.
City officials on Wednesday approved a revised bridge design study, which may allow bids on the project to be sought this September, according to Mayor Donnalee Lozeau.
The Manchester Street Bridge, which crosses the Pennichuck Brook between Nashua and Merrimack, has been on the municipal red list of substandard bridges since 2008 because of structural deficiencies. The new bridge will have a larger paved width, safer cross slope, updated railing, a sidewalk and improved drainage over the drinking water reservoir, according to Stephen Dookran, city engineer.
"This has been in the works for a while," said Dookran. "Our hope is that if we get some good bids, we will begin construction in the fall, with work continuing for maybe 10 to 12 months."
On Wednesday, the aldermanic Finance Committee unanimously approved a revision to the current contract with CLD Consulting Engineers, which has been working on the new bridge design. The original bridge study and design contract was approved at $135,666, but has increased over time to $238,057 because of additional environmental requirements.
On Wednesday, committee members authorized a contractual increase of $13,826 to address and complete even more environmental items, including the state's wetlands permit and seeking approval from the Nashua Conservation Commission.
"Is this bridge actually ever going to get built?" Alderman-at-Large David Deane asked the mayor, stressing that concerns with the bridge were raised at least 13 years ago.
Lozeau acknowledged the delay, saying it was not on the list of priorities for Merrimack. There have also been multiple design drafts experimenting with various bridge heights, added Lozeau. According to the mayor, the original bridge will be kept intact underneath the new bridge construction.
"The old bridge is showing a lot of deficiency. It has structural deficiencies in the stone foundation and the superstructure," said Dookran, adding city staff and engineers have been working with the state Division of Historical Resources and the Department of Environmental Services to mitigate the design's impact on existing wetlands.
Dookran said preliminary cost estimates of the bridge construction are about $2.7 million.
An archeological study was also requested for the site, as it was originally believed that there may have been some Native American artifacts buried in the area, according to minutes from a previous Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting in 2010.
The New Hampshire Department of Transportation is funding 80 percent of the design contract, while the city of Nashua is contributing 15 percent of the cost and the town of Merrimack is contributing 5 percent. The two communities needed to replace the narrow jack-arch bridge that was built in 1935, while also minimizing impacts to the Pennichuck Reservoir, according to the CLD Consulting Engineers' website.
"The existing bridge and roadway approaches are too narrow for the traffic Manchester Street experiences," the site says.

Praying mom back at Concord High SchoolBy DOUG ALDEN
New Hampshire Union Leader
September 11. 2013 11:47PM
CONCORD — A mother who has returned to praying outside Concord High School is doing so in silence. The fervor surrounding the contentious issue, however, is unlikely to remain quiet.
Liza Urena returned to the Concord campus last week and resumed her daily ritual of praying for the safety of the school and its students, which includes two of her children. She had been praying out loud since February, but was told in July she could not longer pray on campus after the district received a complaint.
Although there has been no official change in policy, Urena has been allowed to conduct her prayers silently outside the school every morning after she signs in as a visitor.
"As long as she's doing that and not being demonstrative in what's she's doing, that's working so far. But this is a day-to-day kind of process," school board president Kassandra Ardinger said Wednesday.
Superintendent Christine Rath said administrators will continue to evaluate Urena's actions daily and that no decision has been made on whether she will be allowed to continue to pray on school grounds.
Any decision is likely to lead to another round of arguments between Urena's supporters and opponents who feel public school campuses should remain free of religious doctrine.
"It remains to be seen, frankly," said Gilles Bissonnette, legal director for the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union. "Obviously, we're carefully monitoring this because it potentially raises some civil liberties issues."
While the NHCLU is not directly involved, plenty of others are on both sides.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation filed the complaint with the district over the summer. Staff attorney Rebecca Markert said the Madison, Wis.-based organization just learned of Urena's return on Tuesday and would take some time to evaluate the developments, but expected the FFRF would be contacting the school district again.
"We're concerned that this is not really a change at all," Markert said. "She is still being allowed access to school property for religious conduct."
On the other side, the Alliance Defending Freedom will continue to stand by Urena, who has been represented by the Scottsdale, Ariz., group since it learned of Urena's ban.
"This is definitely progress and is really what we've sought all along — to allow Liza to continue to pray for the students and the school," said Matt Sharp, legal counsel for the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based alliance. "The fact that she's able to be there and pray is the most important thing. We really applaud the district for this step."
Sharp cited court cases he said supported Urena's right to be able to pray on campus, which she started doing after unspent bullets were found in February.
Sharp said whether it's out loud or silent, Urena feels she is getting her message out without disrupting anything or attempting to influence students in their own religious beliefs.
"All she wanted to do was to be able to continue to do that," Sharp said. "If somebody doesn't like Liza praying, they can just keep walking right into the school."

The Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission approved the acquisition of Peninsula Gaming, LLC. by Las Vegas-based Boyd Gaming Corp.
The Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission approved the acquisition of Peninsula Gaming, LLC. by Las Vegas-based Boyd Gaming Corp. Friday in Dodge City. Peninsula Gaming built and is managing the Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane. The Kansas Lottery Commission approved the merger Wednesday. The Lottery also approved transferring Peninsula's management contract with the state to Boyd.
Jay Shadwick, chair of the racing and gaming commission, said the motion to approve the merger was mainly a business decision that required regulatory decisions and approval.
During an executive session in Friday's meeting, Boyd passed background checks and was licensed by the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission. According to a report by the Wichita Eagle, the commission had been working on a background suitability study of the company.
Shadwick said the Lottery conducted both the initial and in-depth investigations prior to Friday's decision.
"Boyd is a well respected corporation with a successful track record," Shadwick said.
He said he expects the success of the Kansas Star casino to be continued with minimal changes to current operations. Boyd officials have said they plan no changes in the Kansas Star's management team or plans for the future development. There will also be no changes to anything else mandated in Peninsula's current contract with the state.
A spokesman for the Kansas Star Casino commended the upper management at Peninsula during the meeting, and said the transition with Boyd was going well. He described Boyd as a great fit for the casino and mentioned the company's strong commitment to integrity and appreciation of employees.
"Boyd will add great value," he said.
The Lottery currently owns and operates the games at the Kansas Star as well as Boot Hill Casino & Resort In Dodge City and Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway.
Boyd's $1.45 billion purchase of Peninsula's five casinos, including the Kansas Star, was announced in May. Boyd owns and operates 17 gaming properties in Nevada, New Jersey, Mississippi, Illinois, Indiana and Louisiana.
The transaction is expected to close on Nov. 20, 2012, according to the Boyd Gaming Corp. website.

Good phone call: No search without a warrantEDITORIAL
June 25. 2014 10:46PM
You know a U.S. Supreme Court decision is going well when the writer of the majority opinion favorably references James Otis.
Ruling on Wednesday that police need a warrant before they can search someone's cellphone, the court cited Otis' 1761 speech in Boston against what were then called "writs of assistance," known today as warrantless searches. Under such writs, the British government would send troops or sheriffs or other representatives of the king to search colonists' homes in an effort to find and arrest people who were disloyal to the crown.
Otis, one of Boston's leading revolutionaries, denounced the law allowing writs of assistance as "the worst instrument of arbitrary power, the most destructive of English liberty and the fundamental principles of law, that ever was found in an English law-book." It creates "a power that places the liberty of every man in the hands of every petty officer."
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the court that a cellphone is a small computer capable of storing the equivalent of millions of pages of documents. Government searches of personal papers helped spark the Revolutionary War itself, Roberts noted. If the government cannot search our personal papers without a warrant, then it may not search the place where we store such papers, even if that place is now small and portable.
"Modern cellphones are not just another technological convenience," Roberts wrote. "With all they contain and all they may reveal, they hold for many Americans 'the privacies of life,' Boyd, supra, at 630. The fact that technology now allows an individual to carry such information in his hand does not make the information any less worthy of the protection for which the Founders fought. Our answer to the question of what police must do before searching a cellphone seized incident to an arrest is accordingly simple — get a warrant."
Seizures and searches of electronic devices are a serious concern even here in New Hampshire and within a short drive of our borders. One of the cases on which the Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday involved Brima Wurie, arrested in Boston. The unanimous ruling (itself remarkable) did allow exceptions for "exigent circumstances," in which searching a phone without a warrant could be justified. Those would include instances in which police are pursuing a fleeing suspect or trying to save the life of a severely injured person. But as a rule, the government may not search your phone without a warrant.
The ruling applies to information stored inside the phone, but not to information broadcast out of it or stored in a phone company's records — such as call logs or other records. The government retains broader authority to search records that would allow it to track your movements and build a database of your associates. As welcome as Wednesday's ruling in Riley v. California is, the Fourth Amendment remains in a weakened state that would have alarmed James Otis and his companions.

See a recap of the two games for the Marceline Lady Tigers at the MSHSAA Basketball Final Four.
Lady Tigers Fall in Semis, Play for Third
The Marceline Lady Tigers winning streak since January has come to an end. The Lady Tigers took on New Haven in the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) State Basketball Championships semifinals. The Lady Tigers had some shooting trouble at the Hearnes Center, and will compete for third place tonight at 5 p.m.
The game was slow-paced to start off, with the opening hoop coming from Sydnee Brooks by way of Abby Gauthier at the 1:26 mark. New Haven evened the score with a pair of free throws one minute later. New Haven would take a lead from here, but Marceline would battle back to close within one with a pair of free throws by Morgan McCormick at the 5:32 mark. A late hoop by New Haven, though, would put the Lady Tigers down 8-5 after one quarter.
Morgan would drain a pair of free throws just over one minute into the second frame to close Marceline within a point. New Haven would finally answer two-and-a-half minutes later with a three-pointer to re-extend their lead. The Lady Tigers would have trouble shooting the ball effectively in the second quarter, and would be outscored 17-6 in the frame. At the half, Marceline trailed 25-11.
Shortly after the second half started, Morgan drained a hoop to start things well for the Lady Tigers. New Haven went on a 4-0 run from there. Ending with a Kendra Gladbach basket at the 3:49 mark, again with Gauthier gaining the assist. Madison McCormick would add a hoop as well to match their opponents efforts with a 4-0 run. The teams would exchange buckets to bring the third quarter to a close. With be quarter remaining in the game, Marceline trailed 37-22.
New Haven would start the final frame with a free throw, which Madison responded to shortly thereafter. A mid-quarter 4-0 run with buckets coming from Gladbach and Gauthier would pull Marceline within 12 points. The teams would score fairly evenly in the final frame, with fouling issues causing New Haven to get time at the charity stripe. In the end, Marceline lost this game by a final score of 49-33.
Lady Tigers End Season as Fourth in State
The Marceline Lady Tigers concluded their first visit to the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) State Basketball Championships on Friday night at Mizzou Arena in Columbia. The Lady Tigers did battle with Skyline in the Class Two Girls Third Place game.
The game started off well for Marceline with Madison McCormick finding Morgan McCormick for the opening basket less than 30 seconds in. Skyline would answer with a 7-0 run, ending with a hoop from Sydnee Brooks 90 seconds later. Skyline would drain three from downtown in the opening frame. But the local Lady Tigers would scrap and fight throughout the frame. After one quarter was in the books, Marceline trailed 21-15.
Skyline opened the second quarter with a 7-0 run in the first three minutes, ending with a Kendra Gladbach steal and hoop. Gladbach would add a three-pointer a minute later to pull Marceline within 11. The teams would stalemate from here, with both teams going scoreless until a three from Skyline with less than 30 seconds in the half. A putback from Brooks would bank in at the buzzer to leave the Lady Tigers trailing 36-24 at the half.
Skyline opened the third quarter with a 3-0 run, ending with a basket from Brooks at the 1:27 mark. Madison would add a hoop and a free throw and Brooks would add two more free throws to close the gap to eight points just past the halfway mark of the quarter. After three quarters were in the books, Marceline trailed 45-38.
A mere 16 seconds into the final frame, Gladbach would open with a basket to close the deficit to six points. Skyline responded with a 5-0 run in the next two minutes, ending with another bucket from Gladbach. Marceline responded with a 6-0 run in the next two minutes and closed the gap to four points. During this run, the Lady Tigers got points from Gladbach and Madison. Skyline, though, would go on an 8-0 run from here. This run, combined with foul issues, would put the contest out of reach for the local girls. Marceline ends their season placing fourth in the State with a 64-53 loss.

Judge horrified by allegations of son beating his mother in MerrimackBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
November 26. 2012 10:33PM
MERRIMACK - A Nashua man with a history of mental health issues is under arrest for beating his mother so severely it left her with a ruptured eye socket, severed ear and major head laceration.
Police said Thomas Foden, 39, took a cab to his mother's 50 Pondview Drive residence in Merrimack Sunday night, forced his way in and attacked her.
Alicia J. Flanders, 66, was found by police covered in blood in her backyard, holding a gardening tool. Foden, who had called police, was seated outside the residence, legs crossed, head lowered. "I beat up my mother," he said, according to a police affidavit read to the court.
"These pictures are some of the most awful pictures I've ever seen," Judge Clifford Kinghorn said while looking at photographs of Flanders' injuries during Foden's arraignment Monday in Merrimack's 9th Circuit Court. "My heart goes out to that mother."
Flanders was in serious condition Sunday night at Southern New Hampshire Medical Center, but was listed as stable Monday. She was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital Monday and discharged the same day, a hospital spokesman said.
"This case is everybody's worst nightmare," Melissa Kowalewski, prosecutor for the Merrimack Police Department, told the judge. Foden, who appeared in court wearing an orange jumpsuit and shackles, is charged with three counts of felony second-degree assault.
It is not Flanders' first encounter with violence. In October 2010, she discovered the body of her tenant, Lynne Melk Brennan, in the apartment she rented to her at 267 River Road in Manchester. Brennan's death has been ruled homicide, and the case remains unsolved.
According to Foden's defense attorney, Amanda Steenhuis, Foden was previously diagnosed with schizophrenia and has ongoing mental health issues. He has a history of arrests, she said, explaining in 1994 he was convicted of possession of a controlled drug, and in 1997 he was convicted of simple assault and resisting arrest.
"This is a tragedy. It is a huge family tragedy," said Steenhuis, explaining that although Foden has a long history of mental instability, he was doing well recently while living alone.
Foden of 57 Tyler St., Apartment 409, in Nashua, had met with a caseworker about a week ago, and it was reportedly one of their best meetings, according to Steenhuis.
He had since received a flu shot, and amoxicillin for an infection, she said. Foden's brother later called 911 because he was worried about his brother's condition. Foden was treated in the emergency room at Southern New Hampshire Medical Center and spent the night; he was released less than 36 hours before the attack on his mother, according to the attorneys.
Lt. Denise Roy said Flanders was pushed face-first into a glass cabinet, which severed her ear, and that a finger also penetrated her eye socket. The woman's severed ear was eventually located by authorities. Inside the residence, police found broken glass and blood on the floor, walls and furniture.
Steenhuis asked that the recommended $150,000 cash-only bail be reconsidered, and that Foden instead be sent to the New Hampshire Hospital for treatment.
"Mr. Foden isn't asking to go home. He is afraid ..." she said.
Kinghorn said he would prefer that Foden be sent directly to the state hospital as an involuntary emergency admission, but stressed that before Foden is released - which could be one day, one month or longer - that the sheriff's department take him immediately to Valley Street Jail in Manchester.
"They both want (Foden) in the hospital," Steenhuis said, referring to her client's mother and brother. Foden's brother was in court for Monday's hearing.

Ursuline Academy standout sophomore Adrianna Hahn was named the 2012-13 Gatorade Delaware Girls Basketball Player of the Year by the Gatorade Co. and USA Today High School Sports.
Ursuline Academy standout sophomore Adrianna Hahn was named the 2012-13 Gatorade Delaware Girls Basketball Player of the Year by the Gatorade Co. and USA Today High School Sports.
The prestigious award recognizes athletic and academic excellence as well as exemplary character demonstrated on and off the court.
The 5-foot-6 Hahn led the Raiders to a 16-6 record with only one in-state loss to eventual state champion St. Elizabeth High School in the semifinals of the Delaware High School Girls Basketball Tournament. She averaged 17.2 points, four assists and three steals per game. A First Team All-State selection, she is rated as the No. 33 recruit in the Class of 2015 by Blue Star Basketball. Hahn was also named First Team All-State and All-Catholic as a freshmen, when she won the state championship, and for this season.
Hahn has maintained a 3.25 GPA in the classroom and has volunteered locally on behalf of youth basketball camps and as part of a program providing Christmas gifts to underprivileged children.
The Gatorade Co. established its award honoring America's elite high school student-athletes in 1985.
Q What was it like to be named Gatorade Player of the Year as just a sophomore?
A To be named Gatorade Player of the Year as just a sophomore was such an honor. I couldn't have achieved it without my teammates who pushed me to work harder everyday at practice. My coaches also pushed me to be a leader and role model on the team.
Q Does this help make up for the semifinal loss against St. Elizabeth?
A This award does not relate anything to that game loss. I will always remember that game, and my teammates and I will think of it everyday next year in practice to work harder and push ourselves to be the best. I would have rather won that game then got player of the year. It is a great honor and I thank the committee for choosing me, but my team is first and a championship was our goal.
Q What do you think of Ursuline's chances for next year? Will the rivalry with St. E continue to be intense?
A As Ursuline basketball players, we fight everyday in practice and never give up. We are losing two of our best players yes, but with the energy and determination we have together as a team, we will work hard to get back to the bob next year. The rivalry with St. E's will always be there. They are in our conference and one of the best teams in the state, no doubt. We love playing them. We would rather play the toughest teams out there and lose all of them, then play scrubby teams and win every game. We want to challenge ourselves so were ready for tournament time.
Q Where did you go to grade school and what made you decide to go to Ursuline? Did being a Raider on the court have anything to do with it?
A I went to IHM (Immaculate Heart of Mary) grade school, but came to Ursuline in seventh grade. Ursuline has one of the best academic programs in the state, along with a top basketball program. I started working with John Noonan since 5th grade, and I always wanted to play for him. Also, I wanted to be the "next Elena Delle Donne" and follow her footsteps at Ursuline.

Corn futures fell, capping the longest slump in 32 years, on speculation that beneficial weather will boost crops in Argentina, the world's second-biggest exporter, and Brazil.
As much as 0.75 inch (1.9 centimeters) of rain fell in Argentina overnight, and an additional 1.75 inches are expected starting Feb. 17, easing stress from dry conditions this year, Commodity Weather Group LLC in Bethesda, Maryland, said in a report. Precipitation will boost crops in southern Brazil in the next two weeks, and drier weather in northern areas will aid harvesting, the company said.
Corn prices dropped for the ninth straight session, the longest slide since December 1980. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Feb. 8 that global reserves as of Oct. 1 will be 118.04 million metric tons, up from 115.99 million predicted last month and surprising analysts who forecast a decline. Combined output in Argentina and Brazil will increase 5.9% this year.
"South America, for the most part, has a good-sized crop in the bag," Jason Britt, the president of brokerage Central States Commodities Inc. in Kansas City, Missouri, said in a telephone interview. "Argentina is still up for debate, but it's stabilizing."
Corn futures for March delivery dropped 0.1% to settle at $6.955 a bushel at 2 p.m. on the Chicago Board of Trade. Trading volume doubled compared with the average in the past 100 days.
The grain has tumbled 17% from a record settlement of $8.3875 on Aug. 21. The all-time high intraday price was $8.49 on Aug. 10 following a drought that cut production in the U.S., the top exporter.
Feed, Ethanol
Larger inventories may reduce livestock-feed costs for pork producer Smithfield Foods Inc. and poultry processor Sanderson Farms Inc. Grain-based ethanol production has declined in the U.S., and plants are closing.
In the four months ended Jan. 31, exports from the U.S. have tumbled 55% to 8.12 million tons from a year earlier, USDA data show.
Wheat prices rebounded from a seven-month low on speculation that rain will miss major growing areas in the U.S., the top exporter.
Storms expected in parts of the Great Plains in the next seven to 10 days probably won't help winter wheat in western Kansas and Oklahoma, Telvent DTN in Omaha, Nebraska, said in a report.
'Already Worried'
"People have to remember we're coming off the worst drought" since the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s, Jason Britt, the president of Central States Commodities Inc., a brokerage in Kansas City, Missouri, said in a telephone interview. "There's not a farmer out there who's not already worried about that."
Wheat futures for March delivery gained 0.5% to $7.355 a bushel in Chicago. Earlier, the price touched $7.225, the lowest for a most-active contract since June 25.
Soybean futures for May delivery gained 0.3% to $14.135 a bushel. The price dropped in the previous five sessions, the longest slump since September.
Corn is the biggest U.S. crop, followed by soybeans, hay and wheat.

Monarchs break loose in victory over IceCapsBy IAN CLARK
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 15. 2013 10:50PM
MANCHESTER - The St. John's IceCaps proved to be the colder team as the Manchester Monarchs broke a six-game winless streak with a 5-2 victory in front of 6,739 fans at Verizon Wireless Arena Friday night.
The win improved Manchester to 22-22-5 and put a stop to an 0-5-1 skid. The IceCaps have now lost five in a row and dropped to 21-27-3. The teams meet again tonight at 7 p.m. at the Verizon. Manchester will close the weekend with a trip to Connecticut Sunday (3 p.m.).
"I think it validates the way that we need to play," Monarchs head coach Mark Morris said. "When we stick with the consistent parts of our game, over the course of time the other team is going to turn pucks over and we're going to have success."
Leading 2-1 to open the third period, Manchester's Brandon Kozun pushed the advantage to 3-1 with a goal at 3:22. Rookie Colton Yellow Horn intercepted a clearing attempt and nudged the puck to Kozun, who beat Mark Dekanich with a wrist shot.
St. John's struck at 5:58 of the third to make it 3-2, cashing in during a four-on-three power play. Eric O'Dell's shot hit traffic in front and Jason Jaffray banged the rebound past goalie Martin Jones from the right doorstep.
Tyler Toffoli scored his team-best 22nd goal for Manchester at 14:18, increasing the lead to 4-2. Tanner Pearson sent the puck high in the air on a flip out of his own zone and Toffoli raced it down and let a laser wrist shot go from the blue line that beat Dekanich high stick side just under the crossbar.
"It was a one-on-four and I knew I wouldn't have been able to beat them so I just shot it through the D man's legs," Toffoli said. "The goalie didn't really see it so I'll take it."
The Monarchs added an insurance goal at 17:59 on Kozun's 14th goal of the year. Working the power play, Kozun let a wrist shot go from the top of the left circle that made it through traffic and Dekanich to ice the game at 5-2.
"They made it 3-2 at one point and we just wanted to keep going, keep getting pressure because we had a really good game and were all over them all game," Toffoli said. "I think it was huge to go up 4-2 and then Kozy made it 5-2 to make it sweeter and a little more comfortable."
St. John's opened the scoring 1:44 into the second period. Carl Klingberg's shot from the slot was kicked out by the right pad of Jones, but O'Dell was uncovered on the left post and popped the rebound in.
The Monarchs tied the game at 18:13 of the second period, using momentum and zone presence coming out of a power play. Defenseman Nick Deslauriers sent a cross-ice pass to the left circle for a one-timer from Linden Vey that was stopped by Dekanich. The rebound came to Toffoli in the slot and Toffoli roofed the puck.
Manchester took a 2-1 lead just 34 seconds later. Anthony Stewart raced down a loose puck on the right boards and skated into the zone, cutting across the slot to slide a backhand shot under Dekanich and in with traffic in front.
"We were kind of puck-watching on their first goal a little bit," Morris said. "After we finally started getting pucks on net in the second period, Toffoli got us off on the scoring spree. I thought that the goal that Stewart scored was a momentum-changer. He barreled down the wing and took it to the net hard."

Right blasts RNC 'autopsy' as power grabBy JONATHAN MARTIN and MAGGIE HABERMAN
March 18. 2013 10:21PM
For all the talk before Monday's unveiling of the much-anticipated RNC autopsy report about more robust GOP efforts to appeal to minorities and narrow the deficit with Democrats on technology and data, it's the party's move to take control of the presidential primaries that could have the most impact and stir the most controversy.
The party's prescription to cure the ills that helped bring on yet another disastrous presidential cycle would revamp its presidential nominating rules in ways to benefit well-funded candidates and hamper insurgents - a move that may add fuel to the already smoldering feud between the GOP establishment and the tea party-inspired base.
Tucked in near the end of the 97-page report, formally known as The Growth and Opportunity Project, are less than four pages that amount to a political bombshell: the five-member panel urges halving the number of presidential primary debates in 2016 from 2012, creating a regional primary cluster after the traditional early states and holding primaries rather than caucuses or conventions.
Each of the steps outlined in the GOP report would benefit a deep-pocketed candidate in the mold of Mitt Romney. That is, someone who doesn't need the benefit of televised debates to get attention because he or she can afford TV ads; has the cash to air commercials and do other forms of voter contact in multiple big states at one time; and has more appeal with a broader swath of voters than the sort of ideologically-driven activists who typically attend caucuses and conventions.
The recommendations are also a nod to the party's donor class. Several donors bluntly told RNC Chair Reince Priebus at meetings right after the election that they wanted Iowa, with its more conservative base, to have less of a role in the process.
Caucus supporters
But allies of potential 2016 hopefuls Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and former Sen. Rick Santorum, sensing a power play by the establishment-dominated panel, reacted angrily to recommendations they think are aimed at hurting candidates who do well in caucuses and conventions and need debates to get attention.
"Caucuses give you a better glimpse of what the base of the party wants," said Iowa GOP Chair A.J. Spiker, who hails from the Paul wing of the party. "And those people, they aren't going to be swayed as easily by television ads as a primary voter. They're a more politically educated voter."
Spiker added that an "attempt to get rid of that is really an attempt to get rid of what the base of the party wants. I think RNC membership would object to that too."
A close Paul adviser was even blunter, warning the party against pushing primaries rather than caucuses.
"Elimination of caucuses would mean nuclear war with the grassroots, social conservatives and (the) Ron Paul movement," said this Republican.
Monied candidates
But it wasn't just the libertarian Republicans who were uneasy about the primary recommendations.
John Brabender, Santorum's chief adviser, said the reforms would favor the moneyed candidates.
"While I commend Chairman Priebus for taking important steps to remedy Republicans' recent election failures, I am troubled by the possibility of a condensed presidential primary process which undoubtedly gives an advantage to establishment backed candidates and the wealthiest candidates," said Brabender.
Shorter primary season
Any changes to the party's nominating process would have to be ratified by the full membership of the RNC. The first debate on the recommendation will take place next month at the party's spring meeting in Los Angeles, but party veterans don't expect any final resolution on the 2016 plan that soon.
The autopsy committee members - former Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer, South Carolina GOP Committeeman Glenn McCall, Florida GOP strategist and Jeb Bush adviser Sally Bradshaw, Mississippi GOP committeeman Henry Barbour and Puerto Rico committeewoman Zori Fonalledas - notably stayed out of the question of whether presidential delegates should be allocated at-large or proportionally. But they left no doubt that they wanted a primary season that does less damage to their eventual nominee and wraps up more quickly to give their candidate more time to face the opposition.
The general idea of a shorter primary has strong appeal among many Republicans who prefer beating Democrats than beating up on each other.
"I think it's a smart idea to have a shorter primary season," said New Hampshire GOP Committeeman Steve Duprey. "There's always a risk that you make it too short and the candidates don't get fully vetted and you don't give a chance to a candidate who might stumble a little bit early to recover. There's a balance between too short and too long. I think our current process is too long."
10 to 12 debates
The report authors urge 10 to 12 debates, starting no sooner than September 1, 2015, and suggest that candidates that don't adhere to participating in the RNC-approved candidate forums could lose support.
The report raises "the possibility of penalizing candidates and/or state parties (perhaps through the RNC rules process) through the loss of delegates to the convention if they do not abide by the potential new debate structure."
The RNC tried to take hold of the debate process before the 2008 presidential primary began but the effort collapsed when the individual candidates made clear they would determine their own debate schedules. The threat of losing delegates could force the candidates to only attend the RNC-approved debates, but such a punitive plan will be very controversial.
"Candidates appear in debates to raise their name ID without spending hard cash for the equivalent of cable TV ads," said veteran GOP strategist Dave Carney, who worked on Rick Perry's presidential campaign in 2012. "I'm not sure the best intentions of the party and the elite to reduce the number of engagements has any real impact on that process."
Regional system
The panel made clear it wants to continue to give the traditional kick-off states a "carve-out" to start the process, but the decision to move to regional primary clusters would make campaigning more difficult for candidates without significant money.
It's unclear what such a regional system would look like, whether it would be like the Super Tuesday of past Democratic primaries where many Southern states voted on the same day, or would take place over a period of weeks.
"These are decisions the RNC will be making as they implement (the plan)," said Fleischer. "But if the convention moves up, it launches a cascade of events that will require changes in the primary schedule. The key is to move up the convention, which everyone wants to do. The details of what that means to the current primary calendar then need to get fleshed out, which is the bread and butter of the RNC."
The committee is more clear cut, though, on their preference for primaries as the best nominating method for building the party.
"We also recommend broadening the base of the party and inviting as many voters as possible into the Republican Party by discouraging conventions and caucuses for the purpose of allocating delegates to the national convention," the committee writes. "Our party needs to grow its membership, and primaries seem to be a more effective way to do so."
To many Republicans, however, the effort smacks of moving the primary away from the grassroots in the name of a less messy and more expeditious campaign.
"It's hard to ask a TV commercial or a web ad a question and be able to watch the candidate answer directly without squirming - retail politics matter," said Carney, a New Hampshire-based operative. "Less debates (and a) compacted time frame equals less vetting by rank and file voters and increases the importance of funders and special interests.
"Hotel ballrooms and corporate board rooms will see a lot more of the candidates then main street merchants. I think the wait staff of diners are more informative then the catering staff at the Yale Club. In the end voters matter - not the tidiness of the process and the self-fulfilling narrative that the political elite seek."
Davie Bossie, head of the conservative group Citizens United, fretted that the proposals would mean conservative grassroots candidates, already outmatched organizationally and financially against the GOP establishment on the presidential level, "even less opportunity to break through."
"I don't think that is a good thing for the party and I definitely don't think it's a good thing for the conservative movement," said Bossie.

The lawsuit between a Cabot-based horse rescue organization owner and five county horse owners who sued her for improperly taking their horses was settled for $105,000.
While documents from the state attorney general's office list the settlement amount, they do not disclose how the funds will be divided among plaintiffs Brian Arendosh, Geraldine Geibel, Debra Gaus, Jessica Gossett and Elan Welter-Lewis.
The group sued Pamela Vivirito, Equine Angels Rescue, state trooper Shawn E. King, and veterinarian Brian Burks and his employer, Fox Equine Center, for taking horses between March 21 and May 26, 2013, that they claimed were abused or neglected.
The settlement includes provisions for the plaintiffs to retrieve all of their horses, and allows state officials to inspect the farms of all five plaintiffs for six months from the December settlement to ensure the horses are being properly cared for. The document also states that the settlement is not an "admission of liability" by the defendants.
Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger this past summer dropped all charges of abuse against some of the plaintiffs brought by Vivirito and a state trooper. Because of the sharp increase in horse abuse and neglect cases at that time, Goldinger decided to form a committee to create a protocol regarding how to handle such matters.
Goldinger said that he did just that, and the committee will have its fourth and final meeting today. He hopes to distribute a formal protocol regarding the investigation of allegedly neglected or abused horses to police departments in the county in a week.
"I'd like to get it out soon," Goldinger said.
In the protocol, Goldinger said seizing an animal only would be used as a last resort after the horse owner has failed to rectify the problem by following guidelines offered and followed up on by police.
"We realize you don't want to take somebody's animal if we don't have to," Goldinger said.

CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) -- Lindsey Vonn is back at full speed.
Vonn won a World Cup downhill Saturday for her first victory in more than five weeks, beating overall leader Tina Maze by nearly half a second.
And most importantly, she's back to being fully healthy after a nasty bacterial problem that ate away the muscles in her powerful legs and sapped her energy the last few months.
"I'm excited to be racing and I have that fire again and I trust that my body is strong enough to ski the way I want to ski," Vonn said. "It wasn't always the case in all the races this year. I'm back to my old self and it's a good feeling."
Vonn clocked 1 minute, 38.25 seconds down the sun-drenched Olympia delle Tofane course. Current overall leader Tina Maze finished second, 0.43 seconds behind, and Vonn's American teammate Leanne Smith was third, 0.89 back.
After failing to finish two consecutive races in France in mid-December - including an uncharacteristic fall in downhill, the discipline she's Olympic champion in - Vonn left the circuit for 27 days and missed six races. Having been hospitalized with an intestinal illness in November, she wondered whether she would win again this season.
"When I decided to take the break, I was so weak," said Vonn, adding that doctors never figured out exactly what type of bacterial problem she had. "I didn't know if I was going to be able to build enough strength back up in that short time to be able to race. My legs were skinny, I lost all my muscle, I had no endurance. I really was struggling physically to be where I was before."
Vonn didn't touch her skis during her time off in the United States.
"I was off snow completely," she said. "I was just in the gym working out two to three times a day, doing a lot of endurance training, a lot of weight training - just really trying to get back to where I was in the fall, before I got sick."
In her first races back last weekend in St. Anton, Austria, Vonn finished sixth and fourth in a downhill and super-G, respectively.
This time, there was no stopping her.
Vonn made a slight error midway down and nearly touched her right hip to the snow. But she had the strength to regain her balance and keep charging.
"I finally feel like myself again," said Vonn, who was already celebrating and smiling before the came to a stop in the finish. "I feel healthy, finally, and I'm able to ski the way I want to. It's good to be back on top."
The race was held in perfect conditions, with temperatures well below the freezing mark making for hard snow, and clear skies allowing fans to marvel at the jagged snow-dusted peaks, which are some of the most spectacular in the Dolomite Range.
Vonn earned her seventh win in Cortina and the 58th of her career, moving within four of the all-time record held by Austrian legend Annemarie Moser-Proell.
"St. Anton was a good performance, but definitely not my best," Vonn said. "Cortina is a place where I've had a lot of success, so I knew what I needed to do and I was finally able to put all of the pieces together."
Vonn's last win was a super-G on Dec. 8 in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
For Maze, it was her first podium of the season in downhill - having already registered wins in three other disciplines.
"I feel like I can be on the podium in every event," the Slovenian said.
Maze extended her massive lead in the overall standings to 670 points ahead of Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany, who lost control toward the end of her run and did not finish.
It was the second podium of Smith's career, having finished second in a downhill in Val d'Isere, France, last month.
"I just wanted to be smooth today," said Smith, who blew her knee out on this course four years ago. "I felt like I over-edged a little bit in training yesterday because the snow feels so good. It's really important in downhill to be smooth and consistent and barely edge your way down the course."
With Alice McKennis having won in St. Anton last weekend and Stacey Cook finishing second to Vonn twice in Lake Louise, Alberta, at the start of the season, it's the first time four different American women have reached the podium in downhill in a single campaign.
Vonn leads the downhill standings 129 points ahead of Cook, McKennis is fourth, Smith sixth, Mancuso 11th and Laurenne Ross - who also has podium potential - 21st.
"It's fun to be on the podium with your teammates," Vonn said. "Everyone is feeding off each other. We have a great energy about the team right now."
Racing continues in Cortina on Sunday with a super-G, a race Vonn has won the last three years.
"Right now I'm just trying to focus on one race at a time," Vonn said when asked if she could reach Moser-Proell this season. "It's definitely possible if I continue to ski like I did today."

With a plan scheduled to be presented to the Kansas City Council next month, an official from Kansas City International Airport gave area civic and business leaders a look at a proposal for the new KCI.
With a plan scheduled to be presented to the Kansas City Council next month, an official from Kansas City International Airport gave area civic and business leaders a look at a proposal for the new KCI. Mark VanLoh, aviation director for KCI, told those in the audience at the Leavenworth County Development Corporation's annual meeting Friday at the Riverfront Community Center that KCI's three terminals and other design features were out of date almost as soon as the facility as it now stands opened in 1972, partially because of additional security measures required following a spate of hijackings in the 1970s. Changing security requirements continue to be a problem for KCI, VanLoh said. "Almost every bag at KCI in the morning rush hour has to be physically inspected by a human being because the systems underneath the terminal floors just can't handle all those bags at once, at least for you to make your flight," he said. "That's a problem." But that shortcoming is only one on a laundry list of reasons that in 1996 KCI's leaders began to formulate a plan for a new airport. Consolidation and bankruptcies in various airlines have left some terminals all but empty throughout the day and others crowded, at times to the point of blocking the narrow concourses. As a result of the shortcomings, including an inability for the smaller terminals to handle the volume of bags from the biggest airlines, VanLoh said Kansas City is losing — to its nearest competitor in St. Louis, for one, but also to places like San Antonio, Texas. "San Antonio Airport is becoming an international gateway to Mexico, something Kansas City probably should have been," he said. "We have a beautiful customs facility, but it can only handle one airplane at a time." And there are environmental issues —disposing all of the de-icing fluid sprayed on planes at night is also a challenge, with about a third of that fluid currently ending up in a lake on the property. A new airport is of no small consequence for Leavenworth County. Steve Jack, executive director of LCDC, said last year 11,000 outbound tickets were purchased for KCI by Fort Leavenworth, to say nothing of the civilians and residents who also fly in and out of the facility. The plan, VanLoh said, is to move the airlines remaining in Terminal A into the other two. Terminal A would then be torn down to build a central terminal in that same footprint at an estimated cost of about $1 billion, using airport revenue bonds that the aviation department is authorized to issue. The new terminal as proposed would have 37 gates instead of the current 90. The reason KCI can afford to get smaller like that, VanLoh said, is because those gates would not be assigned to specific airlines. "In the future, anyone can use the terminal at any time," he said. The centralized terminal will also allow for streamlined security processing, more accessible concessions and would allow KCI to integrate some of the newest technologies, like bag tags with embedded chips that can send travelers mobile notifications when their bag makes it on the plane, check-in kiosks allowing travelers to check their bags and scan their passport without having to speak to an attendant or the latest three-tier security scanner system. In terms of timeframe, VanLoh said the construction would take two years. He said the hope to have the entire project complete before the end of the decade. "Five years is our goal and we want to stick to that," he said.

Ted Siefer's City Hall: Committee balks at land sale to Dunkin' DonutsBy TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 11. 2013 10:21PM
On Monday, an attorney representing a Dunkin' Donuts franchise owner went before an aldermanic committee with an offer to buy a sliver of city-owned land at the southern corner of Livingston Park, at the intersection of Hooksett Road and Beech Street. The Dunkin' Donuts there has been using the property for employee parking and its drive-through. The owner wants to pay the city $50,000 for the land.
It seems like a pretty good deal, but as far as a couple of aldermen on the Land and Buildings Committee are concerned, something doesn't smell right - and it's not the coffee.
For one thing, as was pointed out at Monday's meeting, the committee had voted seven months earlier to pursue leasing the land rather than selling it. And another thing, the franchise owner in question is Constantine Scrivanos, a supporter of Mayor Ted Gatsas and many of his initiatives, including the "virtual classrooms" that had their debut earlier this year. His family contributed $20,000 to the effort.
The buildings committee had first considered a proposal from Scrivanos back in October to buy the land, for a price to be negotiated. After considerable debate, the consensus was that leasing the land was a better option. "This way, the city gets a little bit of money on a yearly basis that goes into an account to help the park, redo the tennis courts, the track," Ward 2 Alderman Ron Ludwig said at the time. "It isn't a lot, but the city retains ownership rather than taking $100,000 in one-time money and you're done."
The lot has been assessed at roughly $100,000.
The committee was also told by an official in the planning department that the city couldn't just sell the lot to Scrivanos's company, Matnec LLC. It had to be declared surplus and then auctioned to the highest bidder.
The committee voted, 4-1, for a motion to have the Economic Development Office discuss a "lease agreement" with Mantec.
Two months later, economic development chief Jay Minkarah abruptly resigned. Since then, oversight of economic development affairs has been shifted over to the mayor's office, under an interim arrangement approved by the aldermen.
From the perspective of Ward 5 Alderman Ed Osborne, the chairman of the buildings committee, nothing ever came of the attempt to reach a lease agreement with the Dunkin's owner, so the issue was never passed on to the full board.
Fast forward to last Monday's committee meeting. The attorney representing Mantec said the offer of $50,000 was based on the restrictions the city wanted placed on the property: that no new buildings would be built on it and the buffer space with the park would be maintained. The city's assessing chairman agreed that it was a fair price in light of the restrictions.
But Alderman Joe Kelly Levasseur again argued that leasing the land was the better route. "I think we're selling ourselves very short," he said.
Levasseur told me he also didn't like seeing the attorney for the store owner approach Gatsas, who was sitting in on Monday's committee meeting, after the issue was discussed.
"I'm very put off by any appearance of any inappropriateness," he said.
For his part, Gatsas said he thought selling the lot was the most viable option, and he bristled at the suggestion that there was anything untoward about the proposed deal.
"The things Mr. Scrivanos has done for this city," Gatsas said, ticking off a list of nearly $100,000 in recent donations, to a soup kitchen, local schools and other causes.
As for whether Scrivanos' philanthropy affected his position on the Dunkin's deal, Gatsas said, "It would have no effect in my decision-making, and I think I've proved that in the past."
In the end, the building committee tabled the issue yet again.
"It was just talk, talk, talk. Nothing ever happens," Osborne said. "It's the weirdest situation I've seen myself."

- - - - - - - -

As is well known, Alderman Phil Greazzo is not a big fan of government spending, and so he was struck by a seemingly routine request from Planning Director Leon LaFreniere at a committee meeting last week.
LaFreniere wanted the Committee on Community Improvement to approve an extension of existing project accounts. The document he furnished listed about 80 accounts, the oldest dating back to 1994 - $152,103.94 for "South Willow Street Improvements."
Taken together, the accounts represent millions of dollars.
What wasn't made plain initially was that there might not be any money in these accounts; instead, the figures represent the way the city keeps its books.
Later, at the aldermen's meeting, Greazzo pressed LaFreniere as to why there would be so many accounts, apparently with so much in them.
"In many cases, these projects have been under way for some time," LaFreniere explained. "They're either placeholders or projects that haven't been backfilled with anticipated funding. For every one of those projects, there's a story that goes along with it."
This didn't satisfy Greazzo, and he made a motion, which was passed by the aldermen, for all city departments to compile lists of all existing accounts and "the money therein."
Greazzo told me later in the week that he wants to know "who's hiding money all around the city, including the school district."

- - - - - - - -

Another account will likely soon be added to LaFreniere's long list. The CIP committee on Monday agreed to spend $265,000 to repair the track at Livingston Park.
Considering the amount of debate that has gone into much smaller expenditures, the fast-tracking of the project was pretty breathtaking.
Only a month ago it was revealed that root damage had rendered the facility unusable for the Central High track team. Under the committee's plan, $177,000 will be used from the one-time account, and $88,000 is expected to come from civic groups.
So how does Mayor Gatsas feel about expending the funds for the project? After all, thanks to his family's generosity, the facilities at the park are called the Gatsas Athletic Complex.
He absolutely supports it.
"There was a discussion in my office that it needs to be done," he said. "Athletes need to be able perform and for the safety of the walkers, that's what's important."

The Eagles seem incapable of putting anybody away early. Maybe that will change, maybe some day, but as the evidence mounts, it does not seem likely. They are a good offense, but mistake-prone. They are a stingy defense, but make few big plays. The result is agony. Get used to it -- and double up on the prescription for nitroglycerin pills during the bye week.
The Eagles are 3-3 after Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Detroit Lions, and about 90 percent of the day was spent sweating blood. They trailed early, pulled ahead, but kept giving back opportunities to put the game away. And in the end, after the Eagles could do nothing with the first possession of overtime, the Lions won it when Jason Hanson kicked a 45-yard field goal after 4 minutes of the extra period.
The boo s were directed at both Eagles coach Andy Reid and quarterback Micahel Vick as they exited the field about a minute apart. It was a badly-played game by both teams, and it was a bad result for the home team, and now the Eagles have to let it lay there for 2 weeks.
The first half left everyone asking two questions as the Eagles and Lions ran off the field: 1) How are the Eagles leading by 7-6 and, 2) How is Vick able to run at this point, no less walk. Fox was reporting the gruesome numbers: 10 hurries, 10 hits, 8 knockdowns. It might have been the worst one-half beating Vick has taken all season, which is saying something.
Lions linebacker Stephen Tullo ch was a particular nemesi s. After one vicious Tulloch hit in the second quarter, a couple of plays before his 2-yard touchdown pass to LeSean McCoy, Vick was att ended to on the sideline by team medical personnel. But he came back out. He always seems to come back out.
The second half witnessed what has become a common phenomenon for this Eagles team: much better offensive line play in the third and fourth quarters than in the first and second. It was an afternoon where the Eagles could never really get their running game going, but in pass protection, things tightened up considerably.
And so, with that stability, the offense was able to get a rhythm going in the third quarter, finally. They moved the ball, and Vick hung in the pocket nicely, and the quarterback hits went way down -- but the Eagles could not score touchdowns.
On two drives, tight end Brent Celek -- who got the heck beat out of him, as he does most weeks -- dropped one catchable touchdown pass and had another touchdown catch nullified because he was ruled to have committed offensive pass interference by shoving off the defender.
The Eagles settled for Alex Henery field goals instead -- of 26 and 32 yards -- and then Henery added a 49 field goal early in the fourth quarter to give the Eagles a 16-6 lead.
The Lions came back and scored their first touchdown of the game, with 10:30 remaining in the fourth quarter, on a 1-yard run by quarterback Matthew Stafford. That made it 16-13, but it was even worse for the Eagles because defensive tackle Fletcher Cox was ejected from the game after d raw ing a personal foul penalty on the extra point.
And then it got really interesting.
On the first play of the next drive, Vick had DeSean Jackson open on a deep post pattern, but he under-threw the pass and it was intercepted by the Lions' Chris Houston. Suddenly, the Lions had the ball on their 34-yard line with 10:21 to play. But the Eagles held, the Lions punted, and then -- finally -- the Eagles broke it open with 5:18 left to play when they caught the Lions in a big blitz and Vick hit wide receiver Jeremy Maclin with a 70-yard touchdown pass.
Did I say broke it open? What I meant to say was, the Eagles gave themselves a few seconds of breathing room before the Lions marched right back down the field and scored on a 17-yard touchdown pass to Nate Burleson. That cut the Eagles' lead to 23-20 with 3:32 remaining.
Oh, and then the Eagles went 1-2-3 punt.
You know, just to make it even more interesting.
Again, the Lions marched. A great catch by Calvin Johnson, originally ruled an imcompletion but overturned by replay, got the Lions to the 25-yard line with 1:12 remaining. The Lions ran on the next two plays and got it to the Eagles' 9-yard line. But then safety Colt Anderson, playing in place of the injured Nate Allen (hamstring), was called for pass interference in the end zone.
On first-and-goal from the 1, though, the Lions threw two incompletions and settled for a 19-yard field goal to send the game to overtime.
All of which set up the ending.

Mickey Mouse will serve as a mischievous tour guide on a musical journey through a magical map in a new stage show coming May 25 to Disneyland's Fantasyland Theatre.
"Mickey and the Magical Map" casts the title character in his classic role of sorcerer's apprentice from "Fantasia" in a 25-minute musical featuring songs from half a dozen Disney animated films.
Spoiler alert: What follows is a fairly detailed summary of the show. For those who wish to be surprised when the musical opens at the renovated outdoor amphitheater, consider yourself forewarned.
The story begins with Mickey in the studio of the sorcerer Yen Sid (Disney spelled backward) as a team of mapmakers puts the finishing touches on an enormous map using giant paintbrushes.
As you might expect, trouble ensues when the mapmakers quit for the day, leaving a curious Mickey alone in the studio with a nearly complete map capable of taking dreamers to any place imaginable.
Before long, a paintbrush-wielding Mickey is absorbed into the world of the animated painterly map -- an ingeniously disguised LED screen spanning the width of the stage. His nemesis throughout the story is an amusing and stubbornly unfinished portion of the map named Spot.
From here, a series of choreographed set pieces starring a succession of Disney characters leap from itinerary stops made during Mickey's journey through the magic map.
Songs include: "I Want to Be Like You" from "The Jungle Book," "Just Around the Riverbend" from "Pocahontas," "Reflection" from "Mulan," "I See the Light" from "Tangled" and "Under the Sea" from "The Little Mermaid."
After Mickey paints his way out of the map, the show concludes with a pair of big production numbers set in Hawaii ("Lilo & Stitch") and New Orleans ("The Princess and the Frog").
In the end, Mickey realizes his mentor has been watching over him the entire time when the adversarial Spot is revealed as the pupil of Yen Sid's eye.

Manchester loses in scrap dealer crackdownBy DOUG ALDEN
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 11. 2013 9:44PM
MANCHESTER — The city is appealing a judge's ruling against a Manchester ordinance requiring scrap metal dealers to share detailed sales records with a private company and pay a 50-cent charge for every transaction.
The scrap metal amendments are included in city regulations on pawn brokers and other second-hand resalers. The stringent requirements have been contested since they went into effect in August 2012.
Prolerized New England LLC filed a lawsuit against the city, saying the ordinance and stringent amendments that followed are superseded by state law.
Hillsborough County Superior Court Judge Kenneth Brown agreed in a ruling April 25, declining a city motion to dismiss.
The city last month filed its intent to appeal.
"State statute regulates scrap dealers pretty specifically," attorney Donald Crandlemier said Tuesday.
Crandlemire is representing Prolerized, a subsidiary of Oregon-based Schnitzer Steel Industries Inc.
Schnitzer is also parent company to B. Royner and Co., one of three scrap metal dealers licensed by the city.
Deputy City Solicitor Peter Chiesa would not comment on the city's motion to appeal to the state Supreme Court, saying the matter was still pending litigation.
Alderman Phil Greazzo said he opposed the regulations from the start.
"I'm very surprised the other 'second-hand' dealers in the city didn't also file suit," Greazzo said after reviewing Brown's decision Tuesday. "Given this ruling, I wouldn't be surprised if they now come forward and challenge it as well."
Crandlemire said the challenge to city ordinance was based on several grounds, including the mandate that scrap dealers set up accounts with LeadsOnline Inc., a Texas-based company hired to help the city form a database to curtail the theft and resale of scrap stolen from construction sites, vacant homes or elsewhere.
Crandlemire said his client is willing to work with the city, but objected to being told it had to work through another company and pay thousands in additional fees, as well as turn over information for every transaction — including the seller's vehicle make, model, color and registration number.
According to the lawsuit, Prolerized felt it was being required to upload confidential information to a company the Manchester Police Department and city had selected.
"I didn't believe the city could force a business to enter into a contract with another," said Greazzo, chairman of the aldermanic Committee on Administration and Information Systems. "I also had a problem forcing them to provide private business and personal information to a website not owned and operated by the MPD, pay for an unwanted service they were forced to contract, and the accumulated amount of money and time it would cost the business themselves to pay an outside entity for something that is essentially the responsibility of the MPD."

Benghazi dispute renewed
The release of a new batch of documents involving internal White House communications in the wake of the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi makes a couple of things clear.
The Obama administration was more concerned with protecting President Obama's political standing - he was in the midst of a re-election campaign - than communicating forthrightly with the American public about a national security issue.
Also clear is that the administration should have disclosed a revealing email and other documents much earlier, during the congressional investigations into the matter and in response to media requests. Instead, it took a court order, resulting from a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by the conservative watchdog group, Judicial Watch, to pry the information free.
Failure to disclose the email and other documents earlier suggests the White House recognized the information would not look good to the public. How foolish. President Obama would have been better off taking his political lumps far sooner. White House press secretary Jay Carney's vacuous assertion Wednesday that the administration did not previously release the documentation because it is not specifically about Benghazi was insulting.
The Sept. 14, 2012 email with the subject "PREP CALL with Susan" was sent by Ben Rhodes, then a deputy national security advisor, and outlined for top administration officials the "goals" of its messaging. Susan Rice, then U.S. ambassador, was preparing to appear on Sunday morning news programs.
The plan, stated the email, was to "underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure of policy" and "reinforce the administration's strength and steadiness."
The new disclosures are not a smoking gun. They do not prove the contention of many Republican leaders in Washington that the administration concocted the story of the attack springing from a spontaneous protest, sparked by anti-Islamic video, to cover its policy failures. The assault ended in the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
In fact, such a video had generated angry demonstrations outside U.S. embassies in other Mideast countries, including in Cairo, Egypt.
"The currently available information suggests that the demonstrations in Benghazi were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and evolved into a direct assault against the U.S. consulate," states one of the initial CIA emails about the Benghazi attack.
Only later did intelligence gathering reveal that there had been no protest in Benghazi, just the attack.
Rather than creating the video protest story, it appears the administration pushed that aspect to steer discussion away from other troubling points, among them the lack of security and administration policies contributing to the disintegration of civil order in Libya. That's political spin, and inappropriate given the circumstances, but it's not a cover-up.
But by withholding public information until forced to release it, the White House has revived the Benghazi controversy.

A boil-water advisory issued Jan. 11 for homes affected by the Sturgis water-main break has been lifted.
Affected areas:
East side of North Lakeview Avenue between Robin Hood Street and Marian Street.West side of North Lakeview Avenue between Buckingham Drive and Marian Street.Wilshire Park Drive between Canterbury Road and North Lakeview Avenue.
The 700 block of Devonshire Drive to Wilshire Park Drive.The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality requires water samples be collected and tested from the affected areas.
Water samples were collected Monday and Tuesday, and tests revealed no signs of coliform bacteria.
That means the drinking water quality meets the state of Michigan drinking water standards, so there is no need to continue to boil water for drinking or food preparation.
