As we get ready to say goodbye and good riddance to 2012, we are also saying goodbye to oil's historic run. Unless oil make a last minute run it appear that West Texas Intermediate oil could have its first losing year since the meltdown in 2008 and only its fourth losing year since the historic low that I called way back in 1999.
In the past every down year in oil was met with an up year the next year and usually dramatically so. Yet while oil looks strong as we get ready to start the year the prospects of another strong price rebound is less certain. I am not talking about the fiscal cliff but talking about the historic jump in US oil production. The shale gas revolution may write the final chapter in oil's historic bull-run and it is not the first time in history that innovation in the oil industry inspired by high prices has done the impossible and crated supply when the naysayers said there were none. I mean come on, Remember what they (this author included) said! We have hit peak oil! What do you expect? Take a scepter and tap on a rock and you expect oil to come out! Well yes. Or I guess you can say through the use of horizontal drilling combined with hydraulic fracturing.
Instead of running out of oil it is now apparent that we are on target to become the world's largest oil producer. As it stands right now data from the Energy Information administration shows that U.S. oil production hit the highest level in 15 years producing around 6.5 million barrels per day. Since September of last year U.S. production increased by more than 900,000 barrels per day. This surge in production has many predicting that the United States will soon be the world's largest oil producer.
You see when the markets are allowed to work, the impossible becomes possible. Shortly after oil bottomed in 1999 and I spoke of the coming historic bull -run in oil many scoffed. The thought that oil could double or triple in price was heresy at that time. They said oil was old schools and computers made us much more efficient that if oil ever went above $30 a barrel it would drive us into a recession and prices would soon fall. Of course that proved to be wrong.
Then later on the other end of the spectrum when I said that the spike of oil being above $100 in 2007-2008 was unsustainable because it was not being driven by peak oil gears or demand but buy the greatest economic crisis of modern times. It was being driven by money flowing out of the United States and into Europe as U.S. rates were going lower and EU rates were going higher! I was told that not to worry because it was just a little sub-prime crisis and would not impact oil because China and Europe would continue to consume oil and the world was running out anyway.
I remember calling Peak Oil Enthusiasts 'Peak Freaks" as their peak oil theory became more like a religion than anything that was based in historical fact. Of course I took a lot of heat especially when things did not happen in 24 hours. Of course in a world of economic lemmings it is not polite to think outside of the box.
And talking outside the box again I am predicting the era of high gas prices are coming to an end. Another benefit of the fracking revolution of course is that fact that we are like the Saudi Arabia of natural gas. Already Natural Gas vehicles are taking a chunk out of U.S. gasoline demand that hit the lowest level in 17 years. According to the American Petroleum Institute, gasoline demand, averaged 8.5 million barrels per day and fell 0.3% year-to-year. Distillate fuel oil demand dropped by a bigger percentage — 6.3%— to 3.8 million barrels per day.
What we are seeing is a shift away from petroleum and into natural gas vehicles. Some of course blame the economy or our aging population all of which is true but what is more true is that many businesses are realizing that they don't have to pay high gas and diesel prices when they have a viable alternative. Many companies are shifting their fleets to natural gas. We are seeing natural gas cabs and busses. It will only be a matter of time before we see more individual cars on the road. We are in the early stages of a historic shift away from oil into natural gas!

Cornish man swears off hunting after being gored by buckBy DAMIEN FISHER
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 02. 2012 9:16PM
CORNISH - Everett Gray said he plans to retire from deer hunting after being gored by an eight-point buck he shot with his .257 Roberts rifle.
"My brother gave me that rifle," Gray said Sunday. "I shot my first deer with it, and I just shot my last."
Gray said he was on his property Thursday night, talking to a neighbor. He spotted a deer and decided to grab his rifle and see if he could get a shot.
"I found a good spot to sit, and I sat there and waited," said Gray, who is in his 50s.
He saw the deer again, but then it disappeared into the woods. Gray decided to have a cigarette and go inside if the deer didn't show another time. While he was smoking, the deer appeared, this time 20 yards away.
He fired and hit the deer, which took off. Gray said he followed and found his quarry on the ground.
"It was beautiful; it looked like a deer bedded down in the woods," he said.
Gray said he walked up to the deer, patted it between its antlers and thanked it for giving its life. He didn't expect what happened next.
"The deer bounds up and rolls down the hill," he said, getting tangled in the underbrush. As he approached, the deer lunged.
"He drove the horn into me, picked me up and pounded me into the ground," Gray said. "He was just thrashing and I'm holding onto his horns - I thought he killed me."
Gray said the antler went four inches into his side, but did not hit any major organs. He was able to get out of the woods on his own. He was treated at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
Gray said he is still haunted by the images of the attack.
"I've been doing this for 10 years," he said of hunting. "I think I'm retiring."
He doesn't blame the deer; in fact he's impressed with the animal for the strength it exhibited after being shot.
"This deer had so much heart," he said.

Heavyweight newspaper up for saleBy BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 28. 2012 9:16PM
The parent company of the Nashua Telegraph has put the newspaper and several weekly papers in New Hampshire up for sale, the firm's president has confirmed.
"It is a family-owned business and and the family has decided to exit the business," said Andrew Bickford, president of Independent Publications of Bryn Mayr, Pa. "The company will be discontinued altogether."
Privately held Independent is controlled by members of the family of the late William McLean, who died in 2011. It owns some two dozen titles.
In addition to The Telegraph, Independent Publications' holdings in New Hampshire includes the Bedford Journal, the Hollis Brookline Journal, the Merrimack Journal and Milford Cabinet.
Publishing assets of another company owned by IPI, McLean Communications Inc., based in Manchester, were sold to Yankee Publishing Inc. of Dublin on Friday.
McLean publishes New Hampshire Business Review, New Hampshire Magazine, New Hampshire Home and Parenting New Hampshire. Yankee is a family publishing business that produces some of New England's most well-known titles.
"I'm very excited to add them to our business, which for a longest time was just Yankee Magazine and the Old Farmer's Almanac," said Jamie Trowbridge, president of Yankee Publishing. "They're going to stay as McLean Communications, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yankee."
Trowbridge said Yankee is not pursuing purchase of the newspapers.
Bickford said Independent Publications expects to employ the services of a newspaper broker to handle the sale of its publications.
"We intend to," Bickford said. "This is a process that is just getting underway,"
Two years ago, the Telegraph shut down the presses at its Hudson facility and outsourced its printing work. Since January 2011, the paper has been printed by Seacoast Media Group, which owns the Portsmouth Herald. The move reportedly resulted in the layoff of 40 employees in the newspaper's press and mail rooms.
The Telegraph quoted its publisher, Terrence Williams, as saying the company will continue to publish its daily and weekly papers while a buyer is sought.
According to the Alliance for Audited Media, an industry group that tracks newspaper circulation, the Telegraph had an average paid print circulation of 15,376 for its daily paper and 20,579 on Sunday for the six-month period ending Sept 30.
It also has 1,059 digital subscribers to its daily edition and 1,066 on Sunday.
The McLean family interests have owned the Telegraph for 45 years, the paper said.
Bickford said there is no timetable for consummation of the sale of Independent Publications' New Hampshire properties.
"It's a very measured process," he said.

A slow start, back to back wins and a losing streak all led to a memorable season finale for the Waynesboro Indians football team in 2012.
WAYNESBORO — A slow start, back to back wins and a losing streak all led to a memorable season finale for the Waynesboro Indians football team in 2012.
Like its season-ending win against James Buchanan two years ago that helped ease the pain of an 0-9 start and carried over to the following season, a 49-21 triumph against Big Spring on Nov. 2 helped take the sting away from a five-game skid during the past season and was a fitting sendoff to a dedicated group of seniors — who were sophomores in Scott Shacreaw's first season as head coach of the team.
"I think going into the season we had very high expectations," said Shacreaw, whose team finished 4-6 a year ago but could have easily been 6-4. "There were different dynamics that caused us to fall short of our goals for the season. I think there were some bright spots and there were also some areas where we didn't perform as well as expected."
Senior running back Johnnie Adgers rushed for 1,104 yards. Three quarterbacks — Connor Fetterhoff, Aaron Conrad and Nathan Toney — received significant playing time. The senior-laden offensive and defensive lines featuring Andrew Paterno, Matt Bricker, Ryan Shanholtz and Ryan Heinrich will be missed.
"Anytime you have a rusher for over 1,000 yards at the high school level you are doing something right," Shacreaw said. "This is a big testament to not only Johnnie but also the offensive line and the QB who make the reads to start the play."
Waynesboro's tendency to start slow was offset by their superior talent in games it won, but made things much worse against better teams.
"Some of the games we lost we were down by two scores before we began to put a drive together," Shacreaw said. "There are plans to work on that for next season, but to spot any team in our division two scores is going to make your night much more difficult."
Some notable highlights of the season, according to Shacreaw:
"Johnnie eclipsing 3,000 yards for his career was a huge accomplishment. He had a great career here at Waynesboro and I will be excited to watch him on the track this season.
"Ben Petrie had a great season both offensively and defensively. He was our most consistent wide receiver and created a number of turnovers for us on the defensive side of the ball.
"Andrew Paterno had a great year on both sides of the ball, but from the number of tackles he had as an interior defensive lineman, that shows his ability as a football player. That is not a glamorous position, but when you can get production out of an interior lineman like that, you are doing something right.
"I think there were a number of other great individual performances. Our senior class dia nice job of stepping up on many occasions this season. I certainly wish them the best."
A recap of the season that was:
Aug. 31
East Pennsboro at Waynesboro
A new season brought with it a new starting opponent, and the arm of Syracuse-bound Austin Wilson was enough to counter the legs of Adgers in a 35-12 Panther victory.
Wilson completed just eight passes but two were touchdowns and he ended the night with 209 yards in the air as East Pennsboro built a 21-7 lead late in the second quarter.
Adgers was spectacular in the season opener, rushing for 174 yards on 25 carries and two touchdowns. His second score made it 21-12 but that's all the scoring the Indians could muster on this night.
Sept. 7
Waynesboro at Chambersburg
In the renewal of a rivalry that began in 1919, the Trojans built a 16-0 lead with 4:42 left to play in the first quarter and steamrolled to a 47-0 non-league victory on the field turf at Trojan Stadium.
Sophomore quarterback Connor Fetterhoff had a better second game, completing eight passes for 68 yards. Waynesboro switched from a 4-3 to a 4-4 defense in the second half and had better success in keeping Chambersburg out of the end zone.
Sept. 14
New Oxford at Waynesboro
Adgers had another breakout game and the Indian defense smothered the Colonials offense all night en route to a 9-0 win.
Adgers provided all the points Waynesboro needed when he ran into the end zone from five yards and Jesse Smith kicked the extra point with 9:36 remaining in the third quarter.
The defense got in on the scoring when the Tribe sacked Anthony Lippy in the end zone for a safey with 3:50 left in the game. Waynesboro held the Colonials to 56 total yards on offense, including minus-5 in rushing on 19 attempts.
Adgers finished the game with 221 yards on 36 carries, by far his best output of the entire season.
Sept. 21
James Buchanan at Waynesboro
After falling behind 6-0 in just 19 seconds, the Indians got down to business. Backup quarterback Connor Fetterhoff ran for a 6-yard touchdown and Smith made the first of six extra points to give Waynesboro a 7-6 lead.
From there, the Tribe scored 20 points in the second quarter, 14 more in the third and capped the game off with another score in the fourth quarter on its way to a 48-20 victory in the first Mid-Penn Colonial Division game of the season.
Adgers rushed for 187 yards on 23 carries and three touchdowns.
Senior Aaron Conrad started at quarterback and scored a touchdown to give the Indians a 41-20 lead with nine seconds to play in the third quarter. Conrad completed two passes to Ben Petrie for 70 yards in the game.
Sept. 28
Waynesboro at Gettysburg
Entering a very winnable game with a 2-2 record, the Indians didn't get it done, losing 19-14 to the Warriors as a last-minute pass into the end zone fell incomplete.
Conrad cut into a double-digit deficit with a 17-yard touchdown run with 7:03 left in the game. Waynesboro was driving for what appeared to be the winning touchdown with a first and goal at the three. But the next two plays resulted in losses and a fourth down play with less than 20 seconds remaining in the game was unsuccessful.
Tribe defensive lineman gave his team a chance to win the game when he stripped the ball from a Warrior player and ran 20 yards to set up the Indians at the Gettysburg 21.
The loss was the first of five straight setbacks for Waynesboro.
Oct. 5
Waynesboro at Shippensburg
The Greyhounds broke open a close game with 21 second-half points en route to a 42-12 divisional win.
Two Shippensburg running backs surpassed 100 yards in the game and the Greyounds outgained Waynesboro 504-326.
Adgers broke free for a 60-yard touchdown run and Petrie hauled in a 60-yard TD pass from Conrad to make the score 21-12.
Oct. 12
Northern at Waynesboro
The Polar Bears spoiled Homecoming night for the Indians with a 45-7 rout.
Waynesboro's lone score came late in the fourth quarter on a 7-yard TD pass from Nathan Toney to Nathan Eisenhauer.
The Tribe was held to just six first downs and 124 total yards.
Oct. 19
Waynesboro at West Perry
The Mustangs jumped out to a 21-0 lead at halftime and extended it to 35-0 by the end of the third quarter in a 35-7 victory.
Adgers' 19-yard TD run with 4:45 to play in the game was Waynesboro's only scoring in the game.
Eisenhauer caught two passes for 33 yards and Adgers rushed for 86 yards on 18 carries.
Oct. 26
Waynesboro at Greencastle-Antrim
Eisenhauer's 17-yard pass from Conrad midway through the first quarter and Smith's extra point tied the game.
That was as close as the Indians would get the rest of the game. The Blue Devils reeled off four unaswered touchdowns to take a 35-7 lead at halftime and went on to win 49-14.
Petrie snared a 31-yard TD pass from Conrad late in the third quarter to make it 35-14 after Smith kicked the extra point.
Adgers, who injured his ankle on the first play of the second quarter, reached the 1,000-yard plateau in the game. It was his second straight 1,000-yard season.
Nov. 2
Big Spring at Waynesboro
For a short time it seemed like deja vu. The Indians fell behind 14-6 to the Bulldogs and appeared headed toward another uphill battle in their season finale.
But the Tribe rolled past Big Spring 49-21 to finish the season with a win and close out a 3-7 campaign.
It was the final game in a Waynesboro uniform for 15 players — Matt Bricker, Aaron Conrad, John Crawford, Nathan Eisenhauer, Dylan Gaylor, Ryan Heinrich, Kyle Line, Galen McDonald, Andrew Paterno, Johnnie Adgers, Ben Petrie, Ryan Shanholtz, Jesse Smith and Kyle Waldron.
Petrie caught five passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns. Adgers finished his career with 104 yards and three TDs. Bricker sacked quarterback Isaiah Grier for a 13-yard loss on a fourth down play at the Indian 33 yard line.
Adgers and Eisenhauer each intercepted a pass.
Priority number one in 2013 is to find a replacement for a 3,000-yard rusher.
"Losing the majority of your offensive and defensive lines and your entire secondary will not be easy," Shacreaw said. "As this group of seniors moves on to their next chapter, a new group of players gets its opportunity to step up. I look forward to the road ahead. I expect names to pop up next year that will be big contributors for us in years to come.
"This offseason we will be mending our training program to attack certain weaknesses that we saw over the year. We are going to really analyze our defensive plan and come back next season ready to compete."

Boonville student interviews
Congresswoman Hartzler
He is only in second grade but he already has his future planned. Michael DeLeon wants to be a veterinarian when he grows up, but he may pursue other lines of work as well, maybe politics. While attending Boonville's Hannah Cole Primary, one of his classes required him to do a project. He chose to interview Missouri's Fourth District Congresswoman Vicki Hartzler.
On Wednesday Hartzler made a stop in Boonville, visiting constituents on her travels around the district. She stopped at the Boonville Daily News visiting with staff and DeLeon.
The first question was based on a civics lesson one would likely learn in a high school Civics Class, which asked what the main duties of congress was.
Hartzler said making laws and listening to people each congresswoman or man represents is vital in crafting new laws. Hartzler said congress is very vital in making sure there is a strong national defense, road infrastructure and good communication between the people and the government.
He also asked what committees Congresswoman Hartzler serves on. She said she serves on three committees, including agriculture. Hartzler explained how she and her husband own a farm and grow corn, soybeans and wheat. She also explained her involvement in the armed services committee, which affects both Whiteman Air Force Base near Warrensburg and Fort Leonard Wood near Rolla.
"We make sure all of our soldiers are safe," Hartzler said.
She also serves on the Budget Committee, which determines how to spend the taxpayers money.
"The committees divide up different areas of government and look at making laws for that topic," She said.
She also explained to DeLeon the process of lawmaking, how it starts with a committee and then proceeds to the House. Once its passed in the House, it travels to the Senate and then if it passes the Senate, the president will either sign the bill into law or veto it. She told DeLeon it could be the other way around, where a bill could begin in the Senate as well. This is all known as 'checks and balances.'
"It is not easy to pass a new law and that is probably a good thing," Hartzler said.
DeLeon asked Hartzler what the hardest and most fun part of her job was. She said the hardest part is the difficulty it is sometimes to pass a law.
"It is not easy to travel back and forth. I have to spend time away from my 14 year old daughter and my husband. That is the sacrifice we make," Hartzler said.
She said the fun part was meeting people like DeLeon and the great people of the area.
"We have wonderful families and I enjoy having the privilege to getting to serve and fight for them in Washington.
DeLeon said he was nervous during the interview but is elated he was able to interview Congresswoman Hartzler.

A deputy responded to a rural address in reference to a report of theft that had occurred the previous night. He spoke with the owner of the business at the property who told him that when he and his workers arrived that morning, they noticed that someone had stolen the scrap metal from his property. The employee that was the last to leave the evening before said that everything had still been there as of the time he left. The stolen items were miscellaneous scrap metal and copper, and one water heater, valued at $300. The owner also mentioned that this was the second time this had happened, after a theft about a month ago. The previous theft had been six water heaters and miscellaneous metal, valued at $400. The employee said that when he arrived at the property to end his work day, he noticed a white Dodge pickup truck backing out of the yard and leaving. The pickup was described as a short bed, four door model with two male occupants approximately 30 to 40 years of age.
A deputy was dispatched in regards to a burglary that could have taken place between Nov. 3 and Nov. 5. The reporting party wanted to report the theft of telephone wire, with an estimated value of $2,500 from a business facility. The employee at the facility had last seen the 30 rolls of telephone cable coil on the afternoon of Nov. 3. Another employee could not provide any additional information. An additional pile of scrap cable was also taken. The total cost was included in the estimated total cost of the 30 rolls. The deputy took photos of evidence at the scene.
A deputy was advised to respond to an address in Dolores in reference to a cold trespass and attempted burglary. The owner informed the deputy that she and her family had been gone hunting over the weekend, and that is the only time that someone from the family was not home. During the three days they were gone, the house had been left unattended and the front door had been locked. She stated that at approximately 1 p.m. on Nov. 5, she noticed the front door would not stay shut. When she tried to figure out the problem, she observed several pry marks on and around the door, and it appeared that someone had tried to pry the door open with a screwdriver, but had been unsuccessful. The reporting party hadnt noticed anything missing from the house at this time. The deputy photographed the damage to the door and submitted the photos into evidence.
Dispatch requested a deputy respond to a rural address on Hwy. 491 for a report of a break in. A woman at the scene told the deputy that she and her husband own the property as well as the shop and residence located on it. She allows a friend to store personal belongings at the property, and the friend was also at the scene. The business has not been in operation for several years, but there is still a large amount of property still in it. The door to the shop faces the highway, and was found open. When the deputy went inside the shop, he noticed that there were items placed in various boxes as if they were being sorted. The reporting party said that neither she nor her husband had done this, and felt that there were items missing. The woman planned to have her husband come verify what was missing as he knew what would have been in the building. They then went to the residence on the property, and there was an entry door that was found open. In the houses, basement, they found several books and papers on the floor as if they had been thrown there; everything had previously been on shelves. The owner did not yet know if anything was missing. The deputy went to the bedroom of the residence and the friend who stored personal items there said that her items had previously been boxed and stacked in an orderly fashion. The deputy noted that the room looked as if someone had gone through all the boxes and tossed the items around. The door to the bedroom had been locked, but someone had pried the door open to gain access. The friend had not yet determined what was missing. The deputy located evidence of the intruder in the bedroom which was logged for the case.
A deputy was dispatched to a convenience store regarding a male being threatened by a woman with a knife. The male party that had been involved was identified and had headed south on foot on Hwy. 160, and it was confirmed that he had a warrant out for his arrest. The man was located walking along the highway about a quarter mile south of the convenience store. His identity was confirmed and he was arrested under a felony warrant. During the search of the man, deputies located a glass pipe and marijuana.
A deputy contacted a car at the intersection of Washington and Empire Streets for suspicious activity and a cracked windshield. The male driver was contacted and asked to provide his drivers license and other paperwork. The driver stated that he did not have a valid drivers license due to it being revoked. Dispatch confirmed that the males license is revoked in Colorado for express consent, with six additional active restraints. He was placed into custody and charged with driving a vehicle when his license was revoked for express consent. He was given a warning for the cracked windshield and was left in the care and custody of jail staff. His car was released to his father.

UPDATED: County attorney remains suspended after hearingBy PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader
November 14. 2013 8:53AM
Previous story follows:
Embattled Rockingham County Attorney James Reams heads to Merrimack County Superior Court on Thursday to upend his suspension by Attorney General Joe Foster, challenging whether the state can temporarily remove him from an elected position.
The court battle may largely hinge on a 1975 state Supreme Court case which resolved that then-Attorney General Warren Rudman could suspend Grafton County Attorney John Eames after he was charged with exhibiting two X-rated movies at his family's movie theater in Bethlehem.
A jury later cleared Eames of misdemeanor pornography charges, prompting Rudman to re-instate him as county attorney, according to news reports.
Unlike Eames, Reams faces no criminal charges and has not been accused of any specific wrongdoing.
"In the more than 200 years since the effective date of the New Hampshire Constitution, the only temporary removal of a county attorney upheld by the New Hampshire Supreme Court was premised not only on criminal charges pending against the county attorney but also a prompt trial of the pending charges," Reams' attorney Michael Ramsdell said in court papers.
Foster suspended Reams last week, hours before announcing a state and federal investigation into operational and managerial issues within the Rockingham County Attorney's Office.
Ramsdell said during an interview Wednesday that Reams is "very much looking forward" to his day in court, and learning more about the allegations that set off the investigation.
"He was suspended and barred from the office by the county without the benefit of being told anything," Ramsdell said. "To this day, he hasn't been given the opportunity to respond."
Reams was notified about his suspension through an e-mail last Wednesday night, which contained a pair of letters from Foster and the county commissioners, according to court documents. He was also ordered to return any county property in his possession.
When Reams asked the attorney general about the nature of the investigation, he was told only that "there would be time for discussion later," according to Ramsdell. He said that Reams, if asked, would cooperate with investigators.
Merrimack Superior Court Judge Richard McNamara approved Foster's petition to appoint Jim Boffetti as the interim county attorney, citing Reams' suspension and a decision by county commissioners to bar him from entering county offices.
Ramsdell is arguing that county commissioners violated the New Hampshire Constitution by forbidding Reams to enter county property.
"By barring County Attorney Reams from the Rockingham County Attorney's Office and stripping him of his Rockingham County property, the commissioners directly interfered with County Attorney Reams' constitutional law enforcement obligations and duties to the citizens of Rockingham County," Ramsdell said in court papers.
County Commissioner Kevin Coyle defended the commission's actions on Wednesday.
"The decisions we made were based on what we were told by the attorney general and the U.S. attorney about the investigation," Coyle said. "We did not suspend him, but the office building is under the control of the commissioners. We did that at the request of the U.S. attorney and the attorney general."
Commissioners also put Deputy County Attorney Tom Reid and a victim-witness advocate on paid administrative leave.
Ramsdell said he disagrees that Foster or the commissioners have the authority to interfere with Reams' job status.
"The county attorney is a constitutional officer, not just an agency head," Ramsdell said. "He is elected by the citizens of Rockingham County."
Ramsdell contends that a 2004 state Supreme Court decision about a dispute between Rockingham County commissioners and then-county sheriff Dan Linehan concluded that commissioners may not interfere with a constitutional officer's law enforcement duties.
If a judge decides to overturn last week's court order, it would restore Reams to his elected office — a position he has held since 1998.
Ramsdell also addressed recent criticism his client has endured in the wake of suspension, including his traveling to conferences, and reports that female employees complained to a Portsmouth state representative about a hostile work environment.
"I can tell you the county attorney would disagree that anything unpleasant happened or there is an unhealthy work environment," Ramsdell said. "The majority of prosecutors in the office are female attorneys and two of the three team leaders are female."
As for traveling to conferences, Ramsdell said the trips were all approved by county commissioners and "much of it was not done at the county's expense."
Ramsdell said organizations asking him to participate in conferences have paid Reams' travel expenses, and Reams has brought back valuable training to his employees.

By my estimate, there are three different kinds of annoying people. There are the people who hum, people who consistently claim to have already liked a band before they became "cool," and people who complain about the weather.
There are certainly more behaviors than this that I find annoying, but I think that those are just sub-categories of the previously listed behaviors.
I have never claimed to have liked a band before they became mainstream cool. Mostly this is because I don't think I've ever claimed to like any band, at any point in their career. I am so completely outside of the music loop that the loop looks like a dot in the distance from where I stand.
I admit that I do occasionally whistle, hum or sing along with the radio, especially when I'm driving. I think I have managed to limit this behavior to when I'm alone, or only with a close blood relative, though.
No, the annoying category that I fall into is being one of those people that complains about the weather. I consistently tell people that I hate being hot and I hate sweating. I do like to go on vacation to warm, tropical destinations (or I like to imagine that I am on vacation in warm tropical destinations), but I like something cool, dreary and rainy to come home to.
Now, it is definitely not hot, and sweating is nothing but a distant memory. Now I complain daily about the cold weather. I complain about my cold ears, my cold feet and stare in disbelief at my friends who claim to enjoy activities such as skiing. I have never been skiing in my life. The only part of skiing that sounds fun to me is sitting in the lodge drinking hot chocolate. Then I remember that I can make my own hot chocolate without having to chain up the tires on my car first, and the urge to "ski" quickly disappears.
It's true that I hate to sweat, but I also abhor scraping the ice off my windshield in the morning to get to work. Even worse is the fact that I work long days, days that go late enough into the evening that I usually have to scrape my windshield again before I can drive home.
I once told my mother that the only reason I would want to get married is to have someone to make coffee in the morning and scrape the ice off my car. My mother claims that husbands are good for other things, too, such as companionship and emotional support, but it's harder for me to imagine those things when I'm blasting the defrost on my car and scraping off my side-view mirrors.
I know it's annoying to complain about the weather, but I just can't stop myself. No matter what the weather conditions are, I always imagine that anything else would be better. What I need is a good side-by-side comparison. I need a day that starts out so cold that I have to scrape the ice off my windshield, and ends up so hot that I have to come face-to-face with my sworn enemy, sweat. Only then can I truly decide which is more abhorrent, the heat or the cold.
Until then, I simply will continue along in my category of annoyingness and complain about the weather to anyone who has the bad luck of crossing paths with me on a day that has any kind of weather. To balance things out, I promise to continue to avoid mentioning that I like this band before they got cool, and I will limit my humming to my alone time in the car.
Zoe Abel is sitting all alone, thinking terrible thoughts about the cold weather and humming along to the radio. You can contact her at email@example.com.
Is it cold enough for you?
By my estimate, there are three different kinds of annoying people. There are the people who hum, people who consistently claim to have already liked a band before they became "cool," and people who complain about the weather.

Americans have mixed feelings about using unmanned drones in war zones. They keep American military personnel safer than other methods of surveillance and destruction of targets, including human targets. In waging war, that's a reasonable goal. Against such a decentralized enemy as al Qaeda, they can be more effective and less costly than other tactics.
Their use in killing Americans suspected of cooperating with terrorists ratchets up the discomfort level, as it should, but in that instance, the problem lies not with the drones but with the practice of executing American citizens without arrest or trial. That's certainly "effective," and far less costly; those advantages do not counter constitutional problems or moral objections. While Congress has the authority to set limits on the use of unmanned aircraft in waging war, legislators are likely to balance civilian objections with military testimony about the logic behind such tactics, and public outcry is not likely to be enough to change military policy quickly, if at all.
But when it comes to domestic uses of drones, Americans have every right to determine, collectively, where the line is drawn.
They could be used to guide firefighters, patrol the border, monitor climate and crops, create better mapping. Few would object to using surveillance aircraft, manned or remotely controlled, to search for a missing child. That's been a popular selling point, although not all "missing" children are simply lost in the woods.
Searching for fugitives like Christopher Dorner, suspected of carrying out a vendetta against members of the Los Angeles Police Department and their families, also seems unobjectionable, at least to a point. If a drone can help guide officers to capture Dorner before he harms anyone else, that will be a good thing. If it creates more chaos - considering that officers already have shot up two vehicles occupied by three people who simply were in the wrong place at the wrong time - the benefit seems dubious.
Not all fugitives are as dangerous as Dorner is alleged to be, yet drone technology is a fast, safe and relatively inexpensive way to gather a great deal of information, much of which is likely to be unrelated to the crime that provoked the search. The possibilities are diverse and largely arcane, yet allowing a government agency (or a private individual) essentially to spy from the air on American citizens suspected of no crime is a concept that bears careful consideration.
Again, drones are not, specifically, the problem. A piloted aircraft can accomplish the same surveillance. An incredible amount of information-gathering ability already exists, from satellites to computer programs that capture data to laws that enable such practices. A considerable amount of the technology involved only harvests and analyzes data that people offer up willingly, from their shopping preferences at the grocery store to the information and pictures they post on Facebook. Americans are not good at guarding their privacy. Google Earth already knows where you live, what car you park in your driveway, and whether you were sunbathing in the backyard when their satellite flew over. Anybody walking down the alley has access to garbage cans that probably hold personal data, and meth addicts made a growth industry of grabbing credit cards out of mailboxes.
Congressional passage of a bill that allows unmanned military, commercial and private drones in domestic airspace should provoke considerable debate - which would have been more useful before the bill passed, but apparently Congress looked on it as a detail in governing airspace, not as a potential privacy issue.
The drones are out there - at least as close as Mesa County. They are not inherently bad. (Neither is government.) But the concerns are out there too, and Americans who value their privacy ought to be paying much closer attention to the proliferation of high-tech eyes in the sky.

Easy. As. Pie.
This will be one of our little secrets, okay? Just make this impossible pumpkin pie recipe and serve it with a smile. No apologies. No caveats. No waffling or waggling. You don't have to label it vegan. Or gluten-free. Or lactose-free. Which it is. Because no one will ever know. It tastes that good. And you'll score serious points with your vegan guests. You'll be a hero to gluten-free pie lovers. A goddess to egg-free pumpkin-cravers. A rock star to dairy-free angels.
My secret? It's in the details.
First- no tofu (yes, Babycakes, my pumpkin pie is soy-free so you won't have to put up with your cousin's tofu jokes on Thanksgiving).
Second- it's also rice-free. No gritty rice flour (which, come to think of it, I am hardly using any more). No cornstarch (for those of you avoiding corn).
In a sweet little virtual nutshell-- it's very food allergy friendly.
Even your Aunt Sadie who is allergic to Wyoming might be able to eat this. Unless she's allergic to pumpkin.

In a sweet little virtual nutshell-- it's very food allergy friendly.
Even your Aunt Sadie who is allergic to Wyoming might be able to eat this. Unless she's allergic to pumpkin.
Then you're screwed.
My secret ingredient? My favorite grain of late. Buckwheat. I thank my lucky stars every night that I can eat buckwheat, not only because it's deeply familiar, ingrained as it is in my semi-Ashkenazi bones (while the Scot-Irish half of me pines for Guinness), it's a cereal-free "grain" with a soft, sweet nutty taste and a higher protein content than many other gluten-free flours. And it is drop-dead sexy in baking (have you tried my Buckwheat Chocolate Chip Cookies? My Pumpkin Raisin Cake?).
Buckwheat? In a pumpkin pie? you ask.
Affirmative. You see, this is a crustless pumpkin pie- a close relative of my crustless quiches (though they contain eggs which helps beyond imagining- but vegans, keep the faith, because I'm also working on an eggless quiche slash kugel). As impossible as it seems (okay, allow me, please, a corny nod to the old Bisquick trick) the buckwheat flour helps create a tender and barely discernible crust, which- for a quasi-baker like me is a high-fiving relief because there is nothing I have less patience for than wrangling with fall-apart-when-you-sneeze gluten-free pie crust dough. Well.
That's not entirely true.
I have even less patience for the fear-spiking sensationalism media corporations serve up as news when it is anything but. It's enough to give any sensitive soul severe schpilkis.
Which is why I disconnected my cable TV.
One hundred and twenty-eight dollars a month to get heartburn?
I don't think so.

Karina's Easy Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie Recipe
I have two more secret ingredients that make this pie work. No wait. Three. Full fat coconut milk is a must. The reason is the thickness and richness. If you can't use coconut milk, any rich, good tasting soy milk, nut milk or hemp milk would be the next best option. Thin rice milk isn't gonna cut it.Next up is tapioca starch. I prefer it to cornstarch for thickening gluten-free pie filling. There's not much in here, but it works hard to keep your custard together. Which brings me to the final magic ingredient.Xanthan gum. I know xanthan gum sounds like a weird and scary ingredient but in this recipe it's worth it's weight in gold because it lends a silky smoothness to the custard. And it helps to bind it (akin to what egg whites do).
My taste tester Steve pronounced, This might be the best pumpkin pie I've ever eaten. Though maybe he was just hoping to get lucky.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease a 9-inch glass pie plate.I made the pie in a food processor. It helps to thoroughly process the ingredients, lickity split. This is the one I use: Cuisinart DLC-10S Pro Classic 7-Cup Food Processor
In a food processor bowl, add:
1 14 or 15-oz can organic pumpkin
1 1/2 cups full fat coconut milk (or vanilla soy/almond milk)
2 teaspoons bourbon vanilla
2 tablespoons light olive oil
1 tablespoon Ener-G Egg Replacer
3/4 cup organic light brown sugar
1/2 cup GF buckwheat or sorghum flour (or see tips below)
2 tablespoons tapioca starch/flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Cover and process until smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape the sides of the bowl, if necessary to incorporate all of the dry ingredients.
Pour into the prepared pie plate and smooth evenly. Bake in the center of a preheated oven for about an hour until done. The pie should be firm- but still give a little when lightly touched. The center should not be wet. It will fall a bit as it cools, like my Flourless Chocolate Cake recipe.
Cool the pie on a wire rack completely. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until serving.
1 hour
Yield: 1 pie with 8 slices

Ted Siefer's City Hall: Discussion of tax cap override laced with drama
MANCHESTER HAS a budget, and a historic one at that. For the first time since the voter-approved tax cap went into effect three years ago, the aldermen on Tuesday voted to override it, citing the need to deal with rising crime, abysmal roads and other lagging city services.
The approved budget is 3.99 percent larger than last year's, exceeding the tax cap by 1.86 percent. With a new combined tax rate of $23.58, taxes on a $200,000 house would go up by close to $200, to $4,716. (These numbers, however, won't be final until state revenue officials complete their own calculations later in the year.)
The politically radioactive prospect of an override and competing budget proposals made for a tense evening. It was in marked contrast to last year's budget process, when a group of aldermen and Mayor
Ted Gatsas
came together to present a warm and fuzzy budget (which, as it turned out, was underfunded to the tune of $7.5 million).
This year, there was a sense among the Democratic majority on the board that the Republican Gatsas, by presenting a tax cap budget with a $6 million shortfall, forced them to stick their necks out on an override while he kept his own tucked in his collar.
Twice during the meeting, Gatsas called for recesses. The first came with a dramatic pound of his gavel after Aldermen
Joyce Craig
Pat Long
presented their 3.99 percent budget. Gatsas said he wanted to confer with his finance and legal heads on the numbers - a dramatic indication that he hadn't been kept in the loop on the Craig-Long plan.
Another caucus was held to make some tweaks to the numbers to satisfy Alderman
Bill Shea
and two of his colleagues, who presented their own override budget last week; that one had support from the mayor.
In the end, Gatsas could again don the mantle of compromise. The budget, after all, met his red line that it not to exceed a 4 percent hike - of course, only by the slimmest of margins. But even his attempt at diplomacy had sharp edges.
"I think coming up with a compromise budget is something everyone should feel good about," he said. "The alternative (layoffs) would not have been good. I know firemen would've been going home, and police would've been going home, because this board would not let me manage the budget."
Then it came time for Alderman
Dan O'Neil
, the Democratic chairman of the board, to speak.
"I want to thank all of the aldermen for their efforts," he said.
Gatsas interjected: "You don't want to thank the mayor?
"Mayor, we have a process," O'Neil replied, exasperated. But then, he added, "All right, I'll include you. I don't want you going home sad."
THERE WAS a first act to Tuesday's drama, and that concerned the DOA tax cap budget proposed by Aldermen
Keith Hirschmann
Joe Kelly Levasseur
It was voted down, 12-2, but it was at least given the time of day by the pair's colleagues, who peppered them with questions.
One thing that quickly became clear is that Hirschmann, the chief architect of the budget, did his homework. He had ready answers for every cut to every department he proposed, including $1,200 for the Economic Development Office to build a new smartphone app. Hirschmann said he knew someone at Dyn, the Internet technology company in the Millyard, who would be happy to help the city get the app for free.
The most eye-opening cut proposed in the Levasseur-Hirschmann budget was the $5,000 for catered hot meals for the aldermen; as he informed me, the food is kept in chafing dishes in the City Hall anteroom during full board meetings.
"I propose that we buy our own lasagna back home," he said.
THE CYNICAL view is that the override happened now because it's an off-year for city elections and voters' memories will fade by November 2015.
But at least one alderman,
Garth Corriveau
, sounded confident that voters understood the city is facing exceptional challenges. He noted he and his wife are expecting a baby any day now.
"That sense of responsibility, knowing we're going to be new parents, to really balance the budget, that was the challenge before us tonight, to act as responsible adults and to meet our priorities - improving roads and public safety, advancing education. I join with the mayor in saying it's time to move this city forward," he said.
Sounds like
Patrick Arnold
is not the only one again considering a run for mayor.
ON TO more important matters: the mystery of City Hall's midnight caller.
The police have been investigating the possibility that someone used a key to enter City Hall and make calls to a couple of aldermen late on June 5.
For mystery buffs, the likely explanation was a bit of a letdown: Police suspect the caller used a phone or computer application to make it appear he or she was calling from the mayor's office.
The recipients of the calls were unnerved by them, not least because a call from the mayor's office near midnight couldn't portend good news.
As it turns out, the caller appears to have been a resident angry that the aldermen were poised to override the tax cap.
"They said, 'We voted you in, and we can vote you out,' that type of thing," said one of the aldermen, who did not want to be identified because the official was concerned about being targeted again. "I questioned why the call was coming from City Hall, and he said he had a key. I said I don't believe it."
Also receiving a "City Hall" call was Alderman
Bill Shea
He described the call as "unusual," but he added, ". I really don't want to say too much."

A former economic administrator for the city of Leavenworth has appealed his dismissal, a city official said.
A former economic administrator for the city of Leavenworth has appealed his dismissal, a city official said.
A hearing on Gary Bartek's termination was held this week but officials are still awaiting a decision.
Bartek was "let go" from his position with the city during the first week of August. City Manager Scott Miller did not provide details about the reason for Bartek's dismissal.
"It's still a pending personnel case," Miller said.
The city manager said Bartek is following a city civil service process to appeal the action.
When contacted by phone, Bartek said he had no comment.
Bartek had worked for the city for about three years. He first worked under an economic development director. But for the last couple of years, he was the city's only economic development administrator, according to Miller.
With Bartek's dismissal, Miller is now handling the economic development duties for the city government.
The city's grievance process for employees who've been dismissed allows for appeals to an employee council, the city manager and civil service commission.
Miller said there was a civil service hearing in Bartek's case Wednesday afternoon. The city manager said there's no deadline for when a decision will be issued.
"It could be a week, two weeks, three weeks," he said.
The Times has requested a transcript of Wednesday's hearing but a copy may not be available until Oct. 15.

Malignant hypertension is blood pressure that is so high that it is actually causing damage to organs, particularly in the nervous system, the cardiovascular system, and/or the kidneys. One type of such damage is called papilledema, a condition in which the optic nerve leading to the eye becomes dangerously swollen, threatening vision.
This is a serious condition that requires immediate care. Rapid treatment can prevent long-term problems. Left untreated, damage from malignant hypertension occurs quickly and can be severe, involving organ damage to blood vessels, the eyes, heart, spleen, kidneys, and brain. In particular, kidney failure may develop since the blood vessels inside the kidneys are very sensitive to high blood pressure.
In addition to having high blood pressure, medical conditions leading to the development of malignant hypertension include:
- History of kidney disorders or failure.
- Taking certain drugs or medications, including cocaine, amphetamines, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), and oral contraceptives.
- History of collagen vascular diseases.
- Pregnant women with preeclampsia and eclampsia.
- Pheochromocytoma.
- Spinal cord disorders.
- Coarctation or dissection of the aorta.
- Renal artery stenosis or narrowing of the arteries to the kidneys.
- Missing doses of prescribed antihypertensive medications, particularly beta-blockers or clonidine, which can cause a rebound effect. Medication noncompliance is the most common reason for hypertensive emergencies.
Risk Factors
Malignant hypertension is more common in men, African Americans, and in smokers. You are more likely to develop malignant hypertension if you already have essential hypertension—high blood pressure of 140/90 or higher.
Malignant hypertension produces noticeable symptoms, including:
- Chest pain
- Difficulty breathing
- Headache
- Visual problems
- Nausea and vomiting
- Numbness/weakness of the legs, arms, face
In particular, malignant hypertension can lead to a condition called hypertensive encephalopathy. Symptoms of this condition include headache, vomiting, blurry vision with papilledema, mental changes like anxiety, confusion, fatigue, and seizure.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your blood pressure readings will probably be very high. Readings will be taken in both arms, while lying down and while standing up. A careful stethoscope exam of your heart and a detailed neurological exam will be performed. An eye exam may show signs of high blood pressure, including swelling of the optic nerve or bleeding inside the eye.
Tests may include the following:
- Blood tests and urine tests
- Chest x-ray
- Echocardiogram or ultrasound of the heart to look for heart damage
- EKG to look at the heart's electrical functioning
- Renal duplex or ultrasound test of the kidneys' arteries to look for blockage
Since malignant hypertension is a medical emergency, treatment needs to be received quickly. Treatment options include the following:
IV high blood pressure medications—The specific medication will be chosen based on circumstances, including whether the person is suffering from damage to the kidneys or other organs. Possible medications may include:
- Sodium nitroprusside or nitroglycerin
- Beta-blockers
- Hydralazine
- Labetalol
- Vasotec or other ACE-inhibitor
- Oral high blood pressure medicines once blood pressure has been lowered from dangerous levels
- Dialysis
To help reduce your chance of developing malignant hypertension:
- Frequently check your blood pressure levels
- Report any sustained high blood pressure to your healthcare provider
- Take all prescribed high blood pressure medication regularly and avoid missing doses

State rejects Antrim wind project
By MEGHAN PIERCE

ANTRIM - The state has rejected a wind energy project along the Tuttle Hill and Willard Mountain ridgelines, citing concerns over its size and proximity to the Willard Pond Wildlife Sanctuary.
The 6-3 decision by a subcommittee of the New Hampshire Site Evaluation Committee Thursday came as a surprise to Antrim town officials, who had supported the wind farm because of the revenue it would bring - up to $8,700,000 in taxes over the life of the project - as well as its clean-energy claims.
"We felt the majority of the town was in favor of the project and we were representing the majority of the town," Selectman Michael Genest said Monday.
The panel denied a certificate to the project for Antrim Wind Energy, a subsidiary of Portsmouth-based Eolian Renewable Energy.
"We are obviously disappointed by the decision and we disagree with the decision," Eolian CEO Jack Kenworthy said.
He said the company will wait to see the panel's decision in writing and weigh its options; Eolian will have 30 days to appeal.
The 10-turbine project would have had a 30-megawatt capacity.
"The committee deliberated for three full days after hearing more than 11 days of evidence and ultimately decided the project would cause an adverse effect to the aesthetics of the area primarily because of the visual impact," SEC attorney Michael Iacopino said.
The project's nearness to the New Hampshire Audubon-held Willard Pond Wildlife Sanctuary played a part in the decision, as well as the opposition voiced both in testimony and written statements.
"Audubon are very pleased with the decision," Michael J. Bartlett, president of New Hampshire Audubon, said Monday.
Iacopino said the size of the turbines - 500 feet from the tip of the blade to the base - would have made the wind turbines the largest standing structures in the state. He said the tallest building in Manchester is 275 feet.
Selectman Genest noted the state has approved other wind farm projects, including Groton and Lempster. A 37-turbine wind farm in the Newfound Lake-Mount Cardigan area has also been proposed.
"They put these up in other areas of the state that are just as beautiful as the Willard Pond area," Genest said.
The Willard Pond Sanctuary is about 1,600 acres, Audubon's Bartlett said, and is part of a super-sanctuary of 33,000 acres of undeveloped land.
"New Hampshire Audubon in general as an organization supports wind energy, but it always has to be qualified with 'properly sited' and we didn't think this project was properly sited and the Site Evaluation Committee agreed," Bartlett said.
Kenworthy said Eolian had made a number of compromises on the project, including a settlement with the Appalachian Mountain Club not to have nighttime lights.
"The way the agreement worked, there would be 808 acres that would be conserved and that would be on a project that would have a disturbance area of about only 60 acres," Kenworthy said.
Fred Ward of neighboring Stoddard said he is thrilled by the state's decision.
"Those would be the tallest turbines in the state," he said.
Ward said in his written testimony to the SEC that the turbines would have been the same distance to Stoddard center as the center of Antrim.
"Everybody objects about how they look, but I'm more concerned about the noise that comes from them," he said.

Wildcats blow past McFarland and Arvin
There's something every year about the Taft varsity boys basketball team and the Wasco boys' basketball tournament. Whatever the reasoning might be continued Thursday when the Wildcats swept their opening round games.
"They're just feeling really good," said Taft coach Harold Heiter. "I think the defense played pretty well. We just need to play better every week."
With the victories, the Wildcats improve to 3-5 on the season.
Taft got off to a roaring start in the afternoon game when they defeated the McFarland Cougars 59-30.
The game was close early on with the Wildcats outscoring McFarland 17-12. Taft increased the lead in the second quarter with 19 points to the Cougars 11. Scoring was close in the third quarter with Taft edging out McFarland10-6.
Taft pulled away in the fourth quarter with 13 points while the defense held McFarland to a free throw.
Jacob Lopez led Taft in scoring with 23 while Steven Gee had 12. Eddie Romo chipped in with 10.
Taft had another easy ride in the evening game with a 53-23 victory over the Arvin Bears.
The Wildcats had a fight on their hands early in the seven minute first quarter with the Bears holding a 6-4 advantage on Jesus Llanas' steal and layup.
Arvin's basket at the 4:52 mark of the quarter was the last time the Bears scored again until the 6:15 mark of the third quarter when Eddie Herrera scored on a layup.
In between, Taft scored the final 11 points of the first quarter including three pointers from Edtmer Medel and Lopez with 52 seconds remaining.
Over the course of the second quarter, Taft scored 15 points with Steven Gee scoring six points while Lopez had five.
Following the basket in the third quarter, the Bears would score a free throw while Taft answered with eight points from Junior Tuuamalemalo, Mitchell Emberson, Gee and Danny Romo.
Arvin's offense came alive in the final minute of the quarter with a basket and two free throws.
Taft scored four straight points including Gee's steal and layup to begin the fourth quarter. Herrera snapped the run by completing a three-point play. The Bears went on to score eight more points while Taft was held to six points.
Lopez led in scoring with 14 while Gee had 13. Romo followed with 9 while Emberson had 6.

Man pleads guilty to shooting at Manchester police officerBy DALE VINCENT
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 23. 2014 10:27PM
MANCHESTER — Garrett Gauthier, 22, Thursday admitted shooting at Manchester Police Officer Aaron Brown last April 12, after fleeing police who had stopped a vehicle in which Gauthier was a passenger.
Gauthier entered a guilty plea in Hillsborough County Superior Court North to attempted murder for firing one bullet that missed Brown, and nine other charges involving drugs, guns and his flight.
Gauthier will be sentenced in 45 days and Hillsborough County Attorney Patricia LaFrance has proposed a maximum sentence of 20 to 80 years in prison on the attempted murder plea, with the minimum a 15- to 40-year sentence. The proposed sentences and fines on the remaining pleas would be suspended for good behavior. If imposed, the sentences would be consecutive.
Detective Brown, family members, Police Chief David Mara and dozens of Brown's fellow officers were in the courtroom of Judge Gillian Abramson for the plea.
If Abramson rejects the terms, Gauthier can withdraw his pleas and go to trial.
LaFrance described what happened in the area of Wilson and Somerville streets at mid-morning Friday, April 12, 2013. She said Brown pulled over a minivan with a defective taillight and while the driver identified himself correctly, the passenger appeared nervous and couldn't provide an address. He gave Brown his correct date of birth, but identified himself as Garrett Grant.But while Brown was back at his marked vehicle checking the information, Officer Eric Desmarais arrived as backup and Gauthier took off running.
LaFrance said the officers ran after Gauthier, calling to him to stop.
He didn't stop, so Brown, who knows the area, sought to take a route to cut off Gauthier.Brown called out to Gauthier: "Stop. Show me your hands." Gauthier spun around. "He was holding a black semiautomatic handgun," said LaFrance, and Brown saw Gauthier raise the gun, point it at him and fire. The two men were between 20 to 30 feet apart."(Brown) felt the concussion from the blast," said LaFrance, who said the bullet from the Beretta 9 mm gun landed behind Brown. Brown then fired two shots at Gauthier. Both Brown and Desmarais then continued to pursue Gauthier, who finally responded to commands at Silver and Lincoln streets, about a block from where the chase began. LaFrance said: "(Gauthier) went to the ground on his stomach." During his flight, Gauthier had discarded three loaded handguns, including the one he used to shoot at Brown. When he was caught, said LaFrance, he had in his possession 256 oxycodone pills, $800 in cash in his wallet and $930 in a roll secured by a black hairband in his pocket.
LaFrance said he also was found with suboxone in his sleeve.
"He didn't want to be caught with guns and drugs," said LaFrance.
Although Gauthier had a probation violation pending at the time and had previous convictions for theft by unauthorized taking and drug possession, his attorney, Andrew Winters, said: "There were traumatic events in his life that led him down this path ... to this poor judgment."
Winters said he hopes the information he will submit to the judge prior to sentencing will help make clear Gauthier's potential for a positive future.
LaFrance said sentencing is part punishment and part general deterrence. When someone fires a gun at a police officer, it is not just at the individual officer, she said, "but at police officers in general."
Chief Mara was satisfied with the guilty plea and sentence recommendations. "We're in agreement with it," he said. "If you shoot at a police officer, you are going to be appropriately prosecuted." Manchester Police Officer Daniel Doherty, who was seriously wounded March 21, 2012, when he was shot seven times at close range by Myles Webster, during a pursuit in which Webster fired at several other targets on the West Side, was in the courtroom Thursday. It was the same courtroom where a jury found Webster, 23, guilty of attempted murder, robbery, reckless conduct and resisting arrest just over a year ago.
Abramson sentenced Webster in January 2013 to 60 years to life in prison.

Cleveland's high on a list no city wants to make. CNNMoney.com compiles the results of CQ Press' annual analysis of FBI data on rates of murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary and car theft. (The data are from 2011, the most recent year available.) CQ Press uses the data to create a "crime index" — a weighted average of those six crime categories. The national rate is 1 and any number higher than that indicates a higher than average incidence of crime. Cleveland is No. 4 on the list, with a crime index of 3.09. Here's the summary of the crime situation in the city: Burglaries were one of the biggest issues facing Cleveland residents in 2011, with the number of break-ins and thefts climbing by 8.6% from the previous year. That gave the city the second-highest burglary rate in the country — next to Toledo. Street crimes -- robberies and assaults -- also continued to soar, with Cleveland second only to Oakland among the nation's 72 largest cities. One area of improvement: The number of murders fell from 81 in 2010 to 74 in 2011, a murder rate of 18.6 per 100,000 citizens. No. 1 on the list was Detroit, with a crime index of 4.71 and a murder rate of 48.2 per 100,000 people.
It's safe to say Cleveland still has some crime problems
Taking off: Bloomberg runs an upbeat look at Nextant Aerospace, the remanufacturer of business jets that is based at the Cuyahoga County Airport in Highland Heights. "Nextant has recently delivered planes to customers in Germany and the Czech Republic, and aims to deliver 24 to 30 jets globally this year, compared with 25 since late 2011," Bloomberg reports. "The European Aviation Safety Agency acted last year to allow the company's Nextant 400XTs to fly throughout the continent." Nextant remanufactures jets by adding new engines and instruments to the used airframes of Hawker Beechjet 400A/XPs. The plane sells for about $4.5 million, roughly half the price of a comparable new jet, according to new president Sean McGeough. "It allows customers that may not have been able to buy a new aircraft to buy one that has already taken the residual-value hit," Mr. McGeough tells Bloomberg. "Every time you buy anything new, it will depreciate significantly the day you fly away, and this airframe has already taken that hit." Nextant's order backlog is worth $175 million and the number of entry-level business jets in Europe stands at 1,542 planes worth about $5 billion, according to the company. No guarantees: You might not consider Carmen Policy much of an authority on anything, based on his tenure as president of the expansion Cleveland Browns, but he serves as a voice of experience in this Businessweek.com story about the probable relocation of the Sacramento Kings to Seattle. "Their biggest problems are: Where will they play, and when will they play there?" says Mr. Policy, who oversaw the team after the original Cleveland Browns left. "Moving into a market where you haven't been — even if you have history there — can be very difficult if you're playing temporarily in a facility that's not up to, shall we say, league standards." But as the Browns have proved, playing in a new facility that was very much up to league standards at the time is no guarantee of success. Finding their place: A Lakewood man provides a fun starting point for a discussion on TheAtlanticCities.com about urbanism and Midwestern cities. A semi-regular feature on the website features responses from TheAtlanticCities.com editors, staff writers or expert contributors based on a reader's urbanism-related question. The latest question comes from Lakewood's Matt Kuchs: My home state of Iowa is surrounded by states with bigger cities acting as bigger magnets for its college graduates. Within a few years of graduation, nearly all of my friends and acquaintances had fled the state, and a few years later I joined them. It seems unlikely, particularly in that context, that Des Moines is ever going to "catch up" to Chicago, or even Minneapolis or Kansas City. What should these states do, from an urban future-centric perspective? Are they simply obsolete as polities, should they just be decertified and folded into neighbors which won the city race? TheAtlanticCities.com's Richard Florida says Mr. Kuhn's question focuses on what's often called the "giant urban sorting machine." A 25-year-old college graduate "is three to five times more likely to move as someone in their 50s," Dr. Florida writes. "Many cities think they can lure young people back as they get older and have families, and while this may work to a certain extent, the simple math suggests they can never recoup their losses of young people." So what can they do? "The key thing cities of every size and scale need to realize is that building a more vibrant economy need not be a zero-sum game where some cities win at the expense of others," Dr. Florida argues. "A key thing cities can do is develop strategies to tap into the creative energy of all their residents in every kind of job." He concludes by noting that famed urbanist Jane Jacobs once said the best cities "are actually federations of great neighborhoods. I like that. The key for cities and communities is to figure out what they do best as part of the bigger system of metros and mega-regions in their part of the world."

Fiat Chrysler went on to state that most cases of stalling occur at low speeds, while at idle, or while negotiating a turn. Dealers, it said, will install a new software flash update to Pacifica powertrain control modules for free.
The automaker's admission that the error didn't trigger any diagnostic trouble codes or a malfunction light vindicated those Pacifica owners who experienced stalling and brought their vans into their dealers to be fixed, only to be told that there was nothing wrong.
According to Fiat Chrysler's own
Womens Ava Np ClosedToe Heels Carvela wdRbG9b
(pdf) of its efforts, the automaker opened an investigation into the Pacifica stalling issue on 23 October 2017. It determined the root cause of the problem―a loss of crankshaft position sensor synchronization for roughly 150 milliseconds that was not being managed by the vehicle's engine control software―in December 2017. The update to the control software will make it "less susceptible" to the problem, the company stated, implying that it may still occur in certain circumstances.
Intriguingly, the Fiat Chrysler chronology indicates the investigation was caused by a letter from a customer complaining about a stalling vehicle, but the automaker didn't indicate why this particular letter caused the investigation to be launched, even though dealers received numerous customer complaints well before October. It may be that the letter came from a Pacifica owner who was also a lawyer and was involved in the filing of the Center for Auto Safety's petition with federal regulators.
Perhaps the class action lawsuit will provide more specifics on what actually triggered the four previous technical service bulletins to update the Pacifica's powertrain control software. Those updates are at the crux of the legal questions regarding what Fiat Chrysler knew about the stalling defect and when it knew it. It will be interesting to see how these four bulletins are connected to the current PCM software update, especially if, as the lawsuit alleges, the previous engine control software updates were used by Fiat Chrysler to merely "mask" the Pacifica stalling problem.
If the plaintiffs win, the lawsuit could have serious implications for all automobile manufacturers. As of 2016, software-related recalls were responsible for some
Lagence Woman Fluted Crepe Midi Dress Black Size M Lagence 5pYIs
, and a number that has been climbing rapidly over the past decade. The question that this lawsuit may help clarify is how soon automakers must disclose potential safety issues created by software bugs.
This is especially important in the case of transient software bugs like those responsible for the Pacificas' stalling, which are extremely difficult to find and may not show up in the vehicles' diagnostic systems.As software use in vehicles increases, further hard-to-replicate software-induced problems will occur, many potentially creating a crash risk. It may be time for the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration to revisit its

, which was developed with hardware defects in mind to take into account the unique automotive safety challenges that software errorspose.

ROCHESTER - Sunday was the first team in 36 years, the Eddie Meath All Star football game was canceled.
BREAKING: For the first time in its 36 year history, 's annual Eddie Meath Football All Star Game has been canceled due to extreme temperatures.The game will NOT be made up.
Players and coaches were left wondering why the game could not be moved or rescheduled to another date with cooler temperatures.
News 8 Sports has received some clarificationon the circumstances of the cancelation.
First, Section V athletes and the Section V football committee has nothing to do with the game or the decision to canceled it. Eddie Meath is run by a completely separate committee.
Even though it is not a sanctionedSection V event, the game still falls un NYSPHSAA guidelinesin terms of weather related actively.
Here are the guidelines organizers have to work with. Real feel at 8 PM will be over 90 degrees.
Former longtime Section V football chairman, Dick Cerrone is now the chairman of the Eddie Meath All Star Game.
He tells News 8, they could not simply push the game back to Monday because the heat index was expected to be above 96 again on the field.
Cerroneadded, that Sunday evening he spoke with all the games coaches and many said they would be 'unavailable' later in the week due to prior obligations including family vacations they had planned.
"Many players would be out of town with the 4th of July this week as well," said Cerrone.
For those reasons, Cerroneand the coaches of the game, decided Sunday they couldn't reschedulethe game.
One player told News 8, "I'm upset that I am unable to play in a game that I have been wanting to play in since I started playing but I can get over that. There are families and kids that are in need at Golisano's that could use our fundraising."
The Eddie Meath game raises anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 annually for the Golosano Children's Hosptial.
That same player added ,"I guess we will just have to move on. Hope that the community can fund-raise a little more for the hospital or donate. Would I love to play one more high school game... absolutely."
Another player said via message, "They preached all week about how the game is for the kids who can't play... but now all the money they could have donated to the children's hospital won't make it there."
This is Cerrone'sfinal year as the chairman of the Eddie Meath committee and said, "This is not how I, or my committee members,some who have been apart of this for 25 years, wanted to go out... but it was out of our control."

Surveys will decide fate of rural NH post officesBy JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
July 07. 2013 8:06PM
MIDDLETON — As part of a nationwide plan to cut costs, residents will have a say in realigning the hours of the Union Post Office, which serves as a conduit for the town.
Using a mail survey, residents in Middleton and Union can choose between changing the hours or conducting a discontinuance survey of the Union office, at 402 Main St. (Route 125).
If more than 60 percent of respondents choose the survey, residents have a further option to switch to roadside delivery or relocate their post office boxes to a nearby post office.
The surveys, which were sent out June 11, must be returned by July 10 to the Union Post Office.
Members of the U.S. Postal Service have scheduled a meeting to share the results of the survey, hear from residents and explain options. The meeting will be held at the Union Post Office July 24 at 4:30 p.m.
Union residents Sandy Pratt and Adele Garvin, who both live within walking distance of the post office, said they both want the location to remain open.
"I hope a lot of people fill out their surveys," Pratt said, adding she expects to see quite a few residents at the meeting about the changes later this month.
Pratt said many residents in the small village of Union prefer to receive mail at the post office, which also serves as a place for people to ask for directions or gather community news.
Garvin said many older residents, especially those who walk to the post office, would be hard-pressed to travel to another location, even though there are other post offices in Sanbornville and Milton, which are both about five miles away.
"In a rural area, you really need these post offices," Garvin said, adding there are some things you can only do at a post office.
The Postal Service is reviewing the use of 13,000 rural post offices across the country after the public overwhelmingly was opposed to a proposal to close 3,500 locations, according to Tom Rizzo, spokesman for the Postal Service in New Hampshire and Maine.
"The Post Plan was designed to avoid closures," Rizzo said, adding most people understand that the mail is no longer the primary carrier of information.
As a result, Rizzo said officials proposed to reduce hours of certain rural locations to reflect actual usage.
"This has been an ongoing process," Rizzo said, adding officials collected information about the majority of affected post offices earlier in the year.
"In most cases, we were able to adapt well to the wishes of the community," Rizzo said, adding while the level of interest varied across the nation, it was clear people were against closing local post offices.
Officials decided they must take action as the Postal Service is undergoing "a huge financial crisis," as it is losing about $25 million a day, according to spokeswoman Christine Dugas.
Dugas said it's important for residents to respond to the survey to allow officials to determine usage. She added the Postal Service offers many services online, including the ability to ship packages and letters from home.
"There are certainly a lot of options people can use," Dugas said.
Dugas said the results from the survey and the information gathered during the meeting will be combined into a report. She added the information will help make decisions on a regional and national level.
"The process can take a couple months to a few months," Dugas said, adding the decision will be posted in the lobby of the affected post office for a month and implemented about 30 to 60 days later.
The post offices in Milton Mills, East Wakefield and in Acton, Maine, are also being reviewed as part of the plan.For more information or to view a complete list of affected locations, visit: http://about.usps.com/news/electronic-press-kits/our-future-network/post-plan/welcome.htm.
