"The Chillabration was so profitable and so successful the board has already decided they want to do a second annual event," said Johnson.
The First Annual Freeze your Caboose Chillabration couldn't be described as anything but a success. Thousands of dollars were raised for charity, hundreds of people came out for the fun events, and dozens of prizes were given away. In the words of the St. James Chamber of Commerce Director Tabitha Johnson, the Chillabration was "fab-fabulous."
"The Chillabration was so profitable and so successful the board has already decided they want to do a second annual event," said Johnson.
There were 39 participants in the polar plunge, which raised more than $6,000 for charities, 107 participants in the Freeze Your Caboose Run, and 58 participants in the ice fishing contest.
Other events included Turkey Bowling, the Monster Band Food Stand and a Bag Tournament.
Turkey Bowling had a large turnout at both the adult and youth levels. One of the youth participants even bowled a Turkey Bowling Turkey, getting three strikes in a row!
The adult winners of the Turkey Bowling contest were John Schmidt, Len Daren and Harold Wolle of the Lions Club team. They each received the first prize of $75 in gift cards. The Mikkelson crew came in second and third prize went to the Boeve team.
Youth winners for the event were Anna Egglad and Tanner Olson, who each received a gift card.
The Bean Bag Toss Tournament had three teams for six total people participating. The game was especially challenging as the bags became cold and wet. They began to slip from the boards and it took a special precision to get one to glide into the hole.
The winner of that event was the team of Steve White. They won in a double elimination tournament and received 50 chamber bucks.
Providing food for the entire day was the Monster Band. Youth volunteers served food at Memorial Park with an ATV shuttling Pizza Hut Pizza back and forth from the Ice Fishing Contest and back. They were given a donation of $150 for their time.
Also taking place at memorial park was sledding and a snowman contest. Sledders worked their way up and down the hill all day, and were there even past the end of the Ice Fishing Tournament at 4 p.m. This was probably due to the wonderful weather during the weekend events.
The winners of the snowman contest built Snoopy's dog house, equipped with a lackadaisical snoopy atop the roof.
Johnson hopes to continue the tradition of a strong winter celebration next year, with a few changes. She is hoping the events can be at a centralized location next year to allow for more participation during the Ice Fishing contest and Polar Plunge events. There is also talk of making a beer tent available to help with the kickball tournament and snow bags. Overall, Johnson said she is very happy with the way the Chillabration celebration turned out, and grateful for those businesses that helped make it possible.
More photos of all of the events are available online at the Plaindealer website.

Using maps to track the spread of diseases has a long history and in the past has often helped to contain or stop their spread.
Perhaps the most famous disease map is the spot map created by John Snow in 1854. Snow created his map to plot the location of cases of cholera in Soho, London. The map helped to prove that the Soho outbreak of the disease was caused by water that came from one pump in Broad Street. The dominant theory at the time was that cholera was caused by "bad air", so John Snow's map helped to prove the true cause of the disease.
None of the maps below are likely to help us overcome Swine Flu and most of the maps are far less accurate than the map created by John Snow. However these maps do give us a reasonable overall impression of how the outbreak is spreading.
H1N1 Swine Flu My Map
This Google My Map seems to have been the first map to have been created to track the Swine Flu outbreak. The map was created by Dr. Henry Niman a biomedical researcher in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The map, which has generated nearly 400,000 views so far, is embedded below.
View H1N1 Swine Flu in a larger map
The FluTracker Map uses data from Dr Niman's H1N1 Swine Flu My Map. The data is compiled from official sources, news reports and user-contributions.
Mapa de Influenza
This Google Map shows the spread of Swine Flu in Mexico. The map is a collaborative, social sharing attempt to map the epidemic, which requires user input.
If anyone knows of an outbreak of the flu they can add the information to the map by clicking on the location and entering the details.
Wikiprotest Swine Flu Maps
Wikiprotest have embedded the H1N1 map above in their blog and have also found another Google My Map of the H1N1 Swine Flu Outbreak. This My Map is marked as 'open collaboration', which means that anyone can add to the map if they know of Swine Flu cases not yet on the map.
This map uses black markers to indicate confirmed deaths and red markers to indicate confirmed infections. Question markers on top of the markers indicate that it is a 'suspected' death or infection. This map seems to show that the outbreak may have already reached Europe.
It is possible to follow the latest worldwide news about the swine flu outbreak on the excellent HealthMap. To view swine flu news make sure that you uncheck everything except for influenza in the 'Diseases, last 30 days' column.
HealthMap aggregates news feeds from the WHO, Google News, ProMED, and many other sources to provide the latest information from all around the world.
Swine Flu Tweets
If you want to track the reactions of the Twittersphere to the Swine Flu outbreak this Google Map is tracking the latest tweets that mention 'swine flu'. The map animates through the latest tweets as they are made.
It is possible to select which part of the USA (or Europe) you wish to see tweets from by selecting from the buttons on the left of the map.
Geocommons Maker! Maps
FortiusOne's GeoCommons have produced three new Google Maps to show areas around the world that have been affected by the current outbreak of H1N1 Swine Flu and areas that might be prone to the outbreak.
The first map (pictured above) has a really useful interactive timeline that shows the spread of reported cases throughout the world. Press play on the timeline and the map will animate. It is also possible to drag the timeline to view data for any given day.
Swine Flu Cases and Measures by Country
The second Google Map shows what different countries are doing to avoid the spread of the outbreak in their country. The map also shows the number of swine flu cases that each country has encountered so far.
Air Passengers between the US and Mexico
The third map from Geocommons shows the number of air passengers between the US and Mexico. The number of passengers is shown on the map by the size of the map marker. It is possible to click on the markers to get more detailed information.
Up2Maps Swine Flu Map
This is the first heat map of the outbreak that I have seen. The colour on the map represents the percentage of the world's possible cases of Swine Flu that each country has.
A heat map gives a very good quick overall impression of which countries are being affected by the outbreak and by how much.
Up2Nets have also produced another heat map of the outbreak called H1N1 Swine Flu Infected and Possible Infected
OpenFlu Map
OpenFlu have produced a simple Google Map that show the current cases of Swine Flu around the world. OpenFlu are also presenting the data in table form, so users have two ways to visualise the scale of the outbreak.
The OpenFlu data is being collated from The Guardian and a number of other sources.
Washington Post Distribution of Cases Map
The Washington Post has used the Google Maps Flash API to produce this map that is tracking the distribution of Swine Flu (H1N1) cases around the world. The map shows confirmed cases in red and suspected cases in black.
To learn more about cases at each location click on the map markers. The map uses marker clustering, therefore more individual cases will appear as you zoom in on a location. The Washington Post map also includes a number of buttons which will zoom the map to different countries around the world.
Google Flu Trends
Google have now released a special Google Flu Trends page for Mexico. The page uses Google search activity in Mexico to help track human swine flu levels. Unlike the Google Flu Trends for U.S., this data is not validated against confirmed cases of flu but after conferring with US and Mexican health officials, Google decided to share these results "to provide additional information on the evolving epidemic."
The page includes an interactive Flash heat map of the Swine Flu outbreak in Mexico. Pointing at any region with your mouse will bring up a legend informing you of the current level of the outbreak in that area.

Ushahidi Swine Flu Map
Google Maps mashups of the Swine Flu Outbreak are still being produced thick and fast. The latest comes from crisis information crowdsourcing website Ushahidi and is actually one of the best maps of the outbreak so far.
This Google Map of the outbreak allows you to filter the results shown on the map by Confirmed Cases, Suspected Cases, Confirmed Death, Suspected Death and Negative. Beneath the map is a graph showing the rise (and hopefully eventually the fall) in cases of Swine Flu. The user can adjust the dates to view a graph for any period and the data on the map will change to reflect the date range chosen as well.
Like all of Ushahidi's Google Map mashups users can submit information to the map by filling in a short form or by sending an SMS message.
Click2Map, the map creation website, have also produced a Google Map of the outbreak. The Click2Map Google Map lets the user filter the results shown on the map by Confirmed cases, Suspected cases, Deaths and Negative.
The map makes good use of numbered marker clustering which allows the user to get a quick overview of the extent of the outbreak in different states and countries. The Click2Map map also has a search facility so that the user can find a location on the map that they are interested in viewing results for.
Geotagged Swine Flu Videos
Another interesting way to keep up-to-date on the latest news about the outbreak is via this Google Map of geotagged YouTube videos about Swine Flu.
The map includes a number of videos about the outbreak, mainly from news channels. The map includes a handy forward and back button which makes it easy to skip forward to the next video.
H1N1 Swine Flu Timeline
Using the Google Earth plugin I've created a timeline of the H1N1 Swine Flu outbreak. The data comes from the H1N1 Swine Flu My Map.
Due to the inaccuracy of the data this map should be seen purely as an experiment. For example, the timestamps on the data seems to suggest that the outbreak spread from the USA to Mexico rather than the other way around. However the timeline does give a rough idea of how the outbreak seems to be spreading.
BBC Map of the Outbreak
The BBC map does not use the Google Maps API but I'll include it here because it is likely to be one of the most accurate maps in this list and because it has a good timeline of the spread of the disease.
Swine Flu Map Animation - this map uses a number of maps created with the Google Chart API to create an animated timeline of the outbreak.
Swine Flu Cases in Western Europe - this My Map is tracking the outbreak exclusively in Western Europe.
Swine Flu Heat Map - This site uses the Google Visualisation API to produce a heat map of the outbreak. The site also contains a time graph so you can view the increase (and hopefully the decrease) in cases over time.
Chicago Schools And Business Closures - This Google My Map shows school and business closures in the Chicago area and surrounding counties related to the recent
H1N1 Swine Flu Outbreak.
RSOE -Pandemic Monitoring System - Full screen Google Map of the Swine Flu outbreak with a rolling ticker of the latest news on the outbreak in each country.

I plan to take tea with Michele again
I will try not to make too much of a cochon of myself...
By eating too many palmier! And stick to la yaourt...
What are YOUR favorite MUST-DOS?
I'm so jealous!
Have fun!
Carol, you must see the Alexander Calder exhibit at the Pompidou Museum if it's still there. (It was showing in early April when I was in Paris.) His wire sculptures are so much fun, especially one of pigs making baby pigs! Sounds weird, I know, but it's great! Will you be there on the weekend to visit Les Puces? Another wonderful place that will provide much fodder for your fun blog?ReplyDelete
I only discovered your blog yesterday and received my first « feed burner" today announcing your trip to Paris...
I have a suggestion… NOT for what to visit while you are in Paris, but what to USE for your lingerie while travelling… I would like you to try Soyelle Lingerie Wash unidose – It's what French women use for their lingerie…
Best regards,
How about reporting on how the older set is dressing in Paris these days? Those over 50? And more dogs please! Merci
Bon voyage, Carol! My recommendation is to skip the yoghurt and salad. You'll be home again soon enough ;) I love Rick's drawing, by the way. Take care and have a gorgeous time.ReplyDelete
Enjoy!I do have one request, if you just so happen to be on the corner of Rue Rousselet and Rue de Sevres, there is a little cafe there and my heroine has coffee there (I am writing a novel, you see) but I cannot remember the name of it. And a bread shop across the street from it, on the same corner, and I cannot remember the name of that either. Since our heroine happens to live on Rue Rousselet, those details would be divine to have if it was easy for you. I realize I don't know you ... But you do seem to walk around town a bit!
So, if you happened to be passing that corner anyway and could note the names of those two places and pop me a teeny tiny email with their names, that would be so lovely! Not at all necessary. Just a little detail that the story would profit from if I happened to have it.
Enjoy your journey.
Good morning,
I just love your blog! You asked if anyone had suggestions on things to see, do try to find some nice card shops when you're in Paris. You have only mentioned a couple in the past, although they do look divine. I'm sure letter writing isn't dead over there yet. Also, you are bound to see what colours are hot for spring/summer, it would be great if you could show these as well.
Enjoy your trip,
Have a fabulous trip, Carol! You sound like you're brushing up on your French lately--good for you. I'm so happy for you--those French have no idea what a character is heading across the pond to visit, do they? Do they realize at all how lucky they are to have you in their midst? Bon voyage, M'lle!!
A post from the top of the Eiffel Tower would be great. I am sure with your style of writing it would be well worth the read...and we would all love to witness your first time to the top. Enjoy your visit..can't wait to read all about your adventures
Bon Voyage
Bon voyage!
I'm leaving Thursday for Paris & can't wait!! My only must "do's" for this trip include the Kandinsky show at the Pompidou, tea & macaroons at Laduree & last dinner at d'Chez Eux with lots of walking and admiring sprinkled in!
Enjoy! :)
I use these boxer shorts as my summer PJs and for travel.where did you find the tablecloth?ReplyDelete
...been receiving and enjoying your posts for almost a year now, so here's an ongoing "thanks!".
I was only in Paris for 4 days and the place that most touched me was the Pere Lachaise cemetary. I loved the grayness and heaviness of it and the visible effort to preserve the connection with loved ones with something that would (and did) continue in time. I think it would be a lovely study for you. Different, but lovely.
Have a great time on your trip!
So, see you tomorrow! Have a nice trip. Of course, you forgot " eating at Stephane to celebrate a special day!!!!"ReplyDelete
Hi Carol.
After these years of following your trips, I am just as excited now about your trip as I was the first trip I followed. Do you get butterflies and twitterpated still ? I would really like to see anything vintage relating to women. vintage hair accessories, curlers, combs, vintage costume jewellry, anything vintage. So if you have a chance...
Have a great trip girlie! My heart will be with you when you visit Pierre Herme!! haha xo
Bon Voyage and safe trip Carol!! I have another color suggestion for you... why not return this time round "sans" the didn't-buy blues, i.e. buy everything! Looking forward to your Parisian doggies tails/tales too!! Share a macaron with them; You'll get lots of sweet licks for that :DReplyDelete
Have a wonder trip. I can't wait to hear about your new discoveries.ReplyDelete
Breakfast at Laudree Rue Royale. Every Paris day. Wish I was sitting on a bench with my watercolours as you go by!ReplyDelete
Why oh why did I not grab a ticket when I had the chance??? I could have hitch-hiked to NYC! Helas! I will sit by my computer, nose glued to the screen, awaiting the latest post. Perhaps I will work on my beleaguered blog...and consol myself with some macs from the new bakery.
DON'T tell Ozzie he's missed out again! He's liable to go on strike! Just at the height of rabbit season.
Yes, def. seeing Rick at Le Select as well as studying your site very closely for more great new ideas!ReplyDelete
Hello, I recently discovered your lovely blog and I'd like to recommend my must-dos in Paris.
1. Try the sushi boats at Itadaki at 64 Rue Monsieur le Prince, just around the corner from the Jardins Luxembourg. (Subway stop - Odeon)
2. Go to Little India in La Chapelle and try the wonderfully aromatic curries at Ganesha Restaurant, at 14 Rue Perdonnet. You won't find watered-down curries meant for tourists and westerners at this restaurant, and at Euro 2.50 a dish, you could certainly afford to feast! (Subway stop - La Chapelle - walk down rue Louis Blanc and take the first turn to the right)
3. Stock up on scented candles at Diptyque, at 34 Boulevard Saint Germain. My favorite scents are Figuier (fig) and tubereuse (tuberose), and I also love their Philosykos eau de toilette.
4. Sip fresh mint tea and sample marvelous Middle Eastern sweets at the Bagdad Cafe at 44 Rue Montagne Ste Genevieve... Try smoking honey - flavored tobacco with a hooka. (Subway - Saint-Michelle)
5. Grab a chair and people watch at the Jardins Luxemburg. :)
Have fun in Paris! :) And don't worry about the designer stores - I actually find Sales Asssistans in France much nicer than anywhere else. They're used to people just browsing and not buying. Re: taking pics inside stores: I'm quite subtle about it. I don't ask for permission, I just do it, but until now no one has said anything.
Love Fauchon by the way, but unfortunately it's gotten so touristy :/
I don't think most of the smaller boutiques mind if you take photos but the bigger ones will wag their finger with the typical "non,non,non" if you try to take a photo inside. The window displays outside are fine but inside...Non!
And don't miss a little place for lunch called La Reserve de Quasimodo for their Rillette de Sardine (sounds funny but it's fabulous) and their Foie Gras Tartine avec pommes. A CUTE little place not too expensive just across the river from the Hotel de Ville. Cross the river, go left and immediate right!
Bonjour and have fun!!
Must do for me is to visit every perfume shop I can think of! LOLReplyDelete
Wow, you're pictures are gorgeous. Makes me miss Paris so much.ReplyDelete

Garage-to-gun business irks neighbors in WeareBy NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent
March 07. 2013 12:56AM
WEARE - A standing-room-only crowd packed a Weare Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting to weigh in on whether Michael Stevens' home-based gun shop is the kind of business that should exist in a residential neighborhood.
Michael Stevens, a retired Marine, ran an auto-repair shop out of his garage at 161 Thorndike Road before 2006, but decided to convert the business to a gun shop called Classic Armorer. He repairs a variety of weapons and has a shooting range in the back of the property. Chip Meany, the town's land-use officer, granted Stevens permission to run the shop without requiring a site-plan review. Meany's opinion is that gun repair or car repair have essentially the same impact on the neighborhood.
While many of the neighbors who complained about the business Tuesday night spoke about parking on the road and the presence of armed men and women coming out of the shop at all hours of the day, the shooting range prompted the most complaints.
Neighbors on Thorndike Road are upset that Stevens has operated the range since 2010, offering shooting lessons to kids.
Stevens' attorney, Tony Soltani, told the zoning board the shooting range, which the lawyer himself has frequented, "probably crossed the line."
The town filed a cease-and-desist order against Stevens, effectively shutting down the commercial aspect of the range, a move Soltani said he agreed with. He said the range is now private and is ancillary to the work Stevens does at the shop. He said the gunsmith needs to test the weapons he's repairing.
But the testing can be extensive. One neighbor, Joseph Stenho, counted the number of rounds shot at the range during various months and recorded numbers as high as 540 shots on a single day in September.
Laura Kobylis, who has two small children and lives directly across the street from Stevens, said that nap time, family time and parties are often interrupted by the incessant sound of gunshots.
"We try to have birthday parties and as soon as the balloons go up on the mailbox, the shooting starts," she said. "It's a nuisance and doesn't belong in a residential area where people are trying to live."
But Zoning Board Chair Jack Dearborn, who said he frequents the gun shop, said the board has no jurisdiction over the noise from the shooting range.
"That's a civil issue, an enforcement issue," Dearborn said. "We can't do anything about the noise."
The only issue the board can really consider is if Meany made the correct decision in allowing the auto-repair shop to morph into the gun shop, and if the gun shop is a reasonable use for a home-based business.
Attorney Olivier Sakellarious, who represents abutter Al Provost, argued that home-based businesses in residential zones "are quiet, aren't dangerous, and don't disrupt the neighborhood."
"This is far from a residential business," Sakellarious said, adding the business targets the neighborhood for crime because "there are so many guns coming in and out of the shop."
But Soltani said it's an "elitist view" that guns don't belong in a neighborhood business. The zoning board is expected to rule at their next meeting April 2.

Essay for America: Teaching kids about the ConstitutionEDITORIAL
September 05. 2013 11:18PM
National Assessment for Educational Progress found two years ago that only 67 percent of U.S. high school students had studied the U.S. Constitution. That is down from 72 percent in 2007. A University of Pennsylvania poll found two years ago that only 38 percent of Americans could name all three branches of the federal government. There is something we can do about this appalling ignorance.
For Constitution Day, the New Hampshire Supreme Court in conjunction with the Nackey Loeb School of Communications and several New Hampshire newspapers holds an essay contest for students. Participating students answer a question that addresses an important constitutional issue. This year's topic is how Americans balance liberty and national security. Relevant, no?
Students in grades 5-12 may enter. The full essay question and supporting materials can be found online at www.nackeyloebschool.org.
Essays may be mailed to Shannon Sullivan, Community Relations Manager, New Hampshire Union Leader, Box 9555 Manchester, N.H. 03108. The deadline is Oct. 7. Parents, this is a great way to get your child to learn about the Constitution and think about how it pertains to his or her life. It would educate your child and strengthen the nation at the same time. It's a win-win.

Posted on May 10, 2013
One of the great joys of my position is that I am never surrounded by yes-men. I feel so sorry for those big and mighty CEOs out there who need only express "I think it's going to rain" to have a dozen voices shouting out, "Yes, Ma'am! You picked that one right! I can see why YOU have the big office, Ma'am! Your meteorological skills surpass those of any known human in history!"
Yeah, I weep for them. There's one regular volunteer, by the way, who makes a point of responding to my remark "I think it's going to rain" with "Well, it doesn't feel like it, the paper says it's supposed to be sunny today, and the sky was clearing when I came in."
I am SO lucky. Just the other day, I was noting that I now have THREE copies of the seventh edition of a book called How To Make Methamphetamines but had no real intention of putting them out for sale.
"That's censorship, you know," a volunteer noted. "The book must be legal, if it's in its seventh edition, and you say you're not afraid to put out anything that's legal."
"Oh, I'm not afraid to put it out," I told her. "It's a logistics question."
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"Well, what subject does it go under?" I asked. "Cookbooks?"
She shook her head firmly. "Collectibles," she said.
Of course! That's exactly the place where I want potential meth-makers to gather: next to the thousand-dollar books. I asked her what she thought of the weather. I know my limits. This is the volunteer who once argued that a long protracted fatal illness is better than a quick death. "Gives you more time to plan," she said.
What it is about my scowl that attracts these people I am not sure, but I find dozens of them working at the Fair. One July, a man paused in alphabetizing Short Stories (we don't alphabetize short stories, but he insisted) to say, "This is fun, but I worry about the Book Fair."
"Oh, don't let the white whiskers fool you," I said. "I'm planning to live to see the hundredth Book Fair."
He seemed annoyed at this jovial assurance. "I worry that it lowers the status of the Newberry. It looks like you're asking for money."
I blinked at him. "We ARE asking for money."
"Most institutions don't seem to realize this," he told me, leaning in to whisper words of secret wisdom. "But it's asking people for money that turns people away. You get a lot more people coming to give you money if you don't ask for it."
I looked both ways to be sure no one was overhearing all this wisdom. "Most institutions don't realize that because if you don't ask people for money they don't give you any."
He sighed. "You'd understand if you had any money."
I offered to swap bank accounts with him, but he had gone back to alphabetizing. I started to tell him that M comes before N, but felt he probably had some answer for that.
There is one volunteer who went to business school and knows that you must always agree with the boss. In fact, she came to me once and said she had told another volunteer, "Sure, that's a stupid way to do it. But it's the way he wants it done, and he's the boss." So she agrees with everything I say. The problem is that she never listens.
"I'm going to fix this," she told me once. "There's a novel in the Humor section and I'm taking it to fiction."
"Well, it's in Humor because it's a humorous novel."
She nodded. "Yes, so I'm going to put it with the novels. Is Fiction still in Room 5?"
"Actually, I want that in Humor," I said. "That's why I put it in Humor."
"Oh, yes!" She nodded again. "That's where I found it. So I'm putting it in Fiction."
You see what she learned in college? SHE wasn't arguing with the boss at all. I was the only one doing any arguing.

New Miner coach is former assistant at Dayton, two GLVC schools.
Gabe Hall, an assistant coach at the University of Dayton for the past two seasons and a former assistant at two schools in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, has been selected as the new head coach for Missouri S&T's men's soccer program.
Hall replaces Joe Ahearn, who stepped down last month to take an assistant coaching position at Northwestern University. He brings experience from programs that have not only enjoyed great success on the field, but have also excelled in the classroom.
"I am extremely grateful to Mark Mullin and Missouri S&T for this wonderful opportunity to lead the men's soccer program," Hall said. "My wife and I are delighted to be moving to the Rolla area. I also want to express my appreciation to the University of Dayton and Coach Dennis Currier for the opportunity they provided me to grow.
"At Missouri S&T, I join a University and athletics program dedicated to developing excellent student-athletes on and off the field," Hall added. "It is my goal to continue preparing these young men for successful futures while competing at the highest level. I look forward to working with this team of driven individuals and becoming a part of the Missouri S&T family."
"I am extremely pleased to have Gabe join the Miner family," said Missouri S&T director of athletics Mark Mullin. "He brings great experience and enthusiasm to our program. He is committed to developing the student-athlete as a player, a student and a person. I am confident he will be a great leader for our men's soccer program and an asset to our department, the campus and the community."
Hall spent the 2011 and 2012 seasons on the staff at Dayton, helping the team to an 11-5-2 record during the past year and a top 25 ranking at the Division I level during the season.
He was involved in the planning, organizing and running of the team's training sessions, as well as the evaluating and recruiting of student-athletes to the program. He also served as the co-director for the Flyer Soccer Academy that served over 700 youth players annually.
The Flyers also received the NSCAA's Team Academic Award and won the "Flyer Challenge", a community service competition among the athletic teams at the university.
Prior to joining the Dayton program, Hall served as the Director of Coaching for the Roseburg Soccer Association in Roseburg, Ore. At the RSA he oversaw the development of over 1,000 players by creating age appropriate curriculum and training sessions. He was also instrumental in the development of new coaching programs and managing a staff of nearly 100 coaches.
Hall was also an assistant at New Mexico for the 2008 and 2009 seasons, where the Lobos amassed a record of 20-11-2, including a top 25 ranking, and placed six players on all-conference teams and two on the NSCAA Far West All-Region Team. Hall was responsible for monitoring the team's academic progress. During his tenure the Lobos achieved the NSCAA Team Academic Award and had two Capital One Academic All-American selections.
In addition to his work monitoring the team's academics, Hall planned and ran training sessions for the reserve players to develop their tactical and technical capabilities. He also prepared scouting reports and broke down game film for the Lobos. Hall coordinated team travel and was also the Assistant Coordinator of the Lobo Soccer Academy.
Prior to his work at New Mexico, Hall spent one season as the assistant coach for the men's and women's soccer teams at the University of Indianapolis, where he helped his squad break school records for goals against average and shutouts. He was also responsible for recruiting prospective athletes and planning and running training sessions for the Greyhounds. Hall also served as the first assistant at the University of Southern Indiana for the 2006 season.
Hall also brings ties to a number of soccer clubs and Olympic Development Program's. His most recent coaching experience is with the Oregon '96 Olympic Development Team. Prior to his stint in Oregon, he also worked with the New Mexico and Indiana Olympic Development Programs as a coach. Hall has also coached the Rio Vista Football club as well as the Carmel United Soccer Club and the Evansville Elite.
A 2004 graduate of San Francisco State University, Hall earned his bachelor of science in business administration. He was a two-year captain and starting goalkeeper with the Gators after spending two seasons as a starting goalkeeper at Indianapolis. After his playing days at San Francisco State, he played for two years with the West Michigan Edge of the Premier Development League before moving on to the Salinas Valley Samba in the National Premier Soccer League.
He has his United States Soccer Federation National "B" and National "Y" coaching licenses and a director of coaching diploma from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

Former Speaker O'Brien wants gas tax money to go to infrastructure onlyBy BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 04. 2013 10:38PM
CONCORD - State Rep. Bill O'Brien, R-Mont Vernon, a former House Speaker, said Monday that instead of raising the state gas tax, the state should prohibit use of the current tax for anything other than fixing roads and bridges.
O'Brien said he intends to propose an amendment on the House floor on Wednesday to "stop raiding the highway fund for spending not directly related to road construction and repairs."
He said his amendment would provide more than enough money to fix decaying roads and bridges.
"I'm trying to address arguments that we have to take care of our roads," O'Brien said. " But we have to do it in a way that means don't have to pay more taxes than necessary."
Lawmakers are considering increasing the state gas tax by 15 cents per gallon over four years to raise $980 million in the next decade to fix and upgrade the state's roads and bridges. Under a 1938 amendment to the state Constitution, money raised from taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel that are deposited in the state highway fund must be "used exclusively for the construction, reconstruction and maintenance of public highways ... including the supervision of traffic."
The last several state budgets have called for channeling just under 70 percent of the money raised for the highway fund to the state Department of Transportation for road projects and highway aid to cities and towns.
The rest partially funds other agencies under the "supervision of traffic" clause.
The amendment O'Brien will offer Wednesday is intended to prohibit "draining of 27 percent of the highway fund for things that don't have to do with repair and construction of roads."
O'Brien acknowledged that House-crafted budgets during his days as Speaker allowed highway funds to be diverted to other departments.
"But now, given what we are hearing, that we have a crisis when it comes to maintenance of roads, let's use the money to take care of that," he said.
The Department of Safety would receive about $75 million from highway funds in Gov. Maggie Hassan's proposed budget, an increase of less than 1 percent over the current budget.
Other agencies such as the departments of Justice and Health and Human Services, the judicial branch and the highway safety agency receive highway fund dollars for expenses that have traditionally been tied to supervision of traffic.
The Hassan administration said eliminating that use of gas tax revenues for the public safety budget would mean fewer state troopers out supervising traffic.
"O'Brien's amendment would have a devastating impact on public safety, affecting more than 300 state trooper positions that are funded at least in part by highway fund dollars," said Hassan spokesman Marc Goldberg, who said the governor's proposed budget would put an additional 15 troopers on the road. House Public Works Committee Chairman David Campbell, who has led the charge for raising the gax tax to pay for road work, said O'Brien could have done what he is trying to do now back in 2011, when he was speaker and Republicans had the votes to override a gubenatorial veto.
"To suggest this at the last minute and leave a hole in the budget and defund troopers is fiscally irresponsible when he had the option to do this when he had a supermajority in the last biennium," Campbell said. "It is filling one hole by creating another of equal size."
O'Brien said public safety officials should compete in the normal budget process for money for troopers, the same way other departments make their cases for legislative funding from the general fund.
"Come into the budget process that is going on now and make a case for (public safety) functions, including continued employment of state troopers," O'Brien said. "It isn't easy, you have to make choices and explain them to people."
House rules provide that legislation such as the gas tax needs to be referred to the Ways and Means Committee by Feb. 28. A canceled session last week meant missing that deadline. It will take a two-thirds vote of the House to suspend that rule and keep the gas tax and other legislation on track.
While Republican leaders assured Speaker Terie Norelli they would agree to the rule suspension, O'Brien said he won't vote for it.
"Those of us who won't vote for suspension of the rules (won't because) doing so would expose our neighbors to a billion dollar tax increase," O'Brien said.
But he said he does not intend to "spend any time" trying to convince 125 Republican colleagues to defy the GOP leadership on the technicality.

Manchester cop charged with running down Bedford teens fights firingBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
November 01. 2013 10:53PM
MANCHESTER — An arbitrator has been asked to decide whether Police Chief David Mara acted properly when he fired former Sgt. Stephen Coco, after Coco allegedly struck two teenagers on a residential street last March and didn't stop, a city official said.
Deputy City Solicitor Tom Arnold confirmed that a single-day arbitration hearing took place in his office on Oct. 2.
The hearing means that Coco, who has yet to stand trial on criminal charges stemming from the accident, could know his job status before his case goes to trial.
Mara referred questions to Arnold, who would not discuss details brought up during the arbitration.
An arbitration involves a neutral referee. Like a judge, the arbitrator hears boths sides of a dispute, which in this case deals with whether Mara followed the union contract correctly when he fired Coco.
An arbitrator takes sworn testimony, reads lawyers' briefs and reviews documents such as a union contract before making a decision.
Arnold said the arbitration took place in his office conference room. He said he disclosed the subject of the hearing because of widespread knowledge that Coco had been fired.
Mara fired Coco in March, a few days after he allegedly crashed into and sent two 17-year-old boys to the hospital. Their injuries turned out to be minor. Coco was driving an undercover police SUV at the time.
Earlier this year, a special prosecutor filed misdemeanor charges against Coco, faulting him for fiddling with a cell phone at the time of the accident. However, the prosecutor did not obtain an indictment on the felony charge of conduct after an accident, the legal term for a hit-and-run.
Coco has pleaded innocent to the two misdemeanor counts of vehicular assault in the case.
The arbitration hearing will have some monetary effect on Coco. If he can prove he should not have been fired, he would have particular benefits, such as a payout of accumulated sick time, available to him, Arnold said.
An early decision by the arbitrator could also influence how strong he will fight the criminal charges.
Arnold said a deadline for him to submit briefs is Nov. 19, and an arbitrator usually submits a decision within 30 days. Either side could have asked the arbitrator to delay the hearing, but neither side did so, Arnold said.
In an email, Alderman at-Large Joe Kelly Levasseur wrote: "it is unconscionable that Coco would even try to get his job back under these circumstances. He is making a laughing stock out of the Manchester police department and all the good it does trying to protect and serve our citizens."

NEWMARKET — The town has reached an agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency to reduce nitrogen discharge into the Great Bay watershed.
Communities around Great Bay have butted heads with the EPA during the last two years over strict new nitrogen discharge standards being phased in around the Seacoast.
Newmarket was one of five communities that filed a joint lawsuit against the state earlier this year, hoping to block new wastewater treatment regulations. Dover, Exeter, Portsmouth and Rochester are the other members of the so-called "Great Bay Municipal Coalition."
Their lawsuit was thrown out in superior court, but as recently as last month, members of the coalition were vowing to ask the court for reconsideration in a bid to block the new standards.
However, on Monday, town officials in Newmarket released an announcement indicating the community has changed course and agreed to meet the EPA's recommended nitrogen discharge limits, but not immediately.
"We do not agree that EPA and [the Department of Environmental Services] have addressed all of the uncertainties about the health of Great Bay," reads an announcement released by Newmarket officials Monday. "However, we feel that it is in the best interest of our community to work with the EPA to protect Great Bay instead of entering into a lengthy and costly legal process."
The EPA has called for Newmarket and other Great Bay communities to cap nitrogen discharge at 3 milligrams per liter. Meeting that limit will require millions of dollars worth of technological upgrades at wastewater treatment plants around the area.
Members of the Great Bay Municipal Coalition have asked the EPA to consider issuing wastewater discharge permits that cap nitrogen at 8 milligrams per liter, a level more easily attainable.
Newmarket has an antiquated wastewater treatment plant, and is already facing the prospect of designing and building a new facility, irrespective of the EPA's new nitrogen discharge limits.
Under the terms of its agreement with the EPA, Newmarket's final permit discharge limit has been set at 3 mg/l, but the community might not ultimately be held to that standard. The EPA has granted Newmarket 15 years to achieve the new level, and an interim limit of 8.0 mg/l will be in place until then.
The agreement also incorporates an "adaptive management approach," according to Newmarket's announcement.
The EPA will study the nitrogen levels in Great Bay for five years after Newmarket's new facility is operational, according to town officials. The additional monitoring period "may lead to a conclusion that the 3.0 mg/l limit is more stringent than it needs to be," and if so, the EPA will drop the 3.0 mg/l requirement, the announcement states.
The other coalition communities, Dover, Rochester, Exeter and Portsmouth, are expecting their permits within the next two years. Newmarket's permit is the first of 14 expired N.H. permits in the Great Bay watershed that EPA will be reissuing.
The issuance of a final permit to Newmarket came in November, following months of discussions with those concerned with the Great Bay watershed and the cost and science behind the new permits.
(Boston, Mass. – Dec. 10, 2012) – EPA is encouraged by the Town of Newmarket's decision today to accept their wastewater discharge permit and to forgo an appeal after considering the final permit and accompanying response to comments. This is an important step for Newmarket and for the health of the Lamprey River and the Great Bay Watershed.
This agreement is the result of many months of hard work by Newmarket, the regulatory agencies and other important stakeholders in the watershed to find a workable solution that meets the needs of the community and complies with the requirements of the Clean Water Act. The plan for permit implementation incorporates an adaptive management approach that will allow Newmarket to make phased improvements to their sewage treatment plant, helping to reduce costs, and allow time for concurrent efforts by Newmarket and others in the Lamprey River watershed to begin to reduce other sources of nitrogen beyond the sewage treatment plant discharge.
The final permit included alterations as a result of the Town's comments on the draft. Discharge permits are issued on a case-by-case, site-specific basis. In EPA's view, the Town's decision to accept their permit does not create any legally or factually relevant precedent for any other POTWs discharging in the watershed and awaiting final permits. EPA expects to issue additional permits for Great Bay dischargers in the near future.

Each Sunday night before going to bed, a 51-year-old American software engineer follows an exacting routine to eradicate one grammatical mistake from Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit.
The phrase in question is "comprised of", against which an editor named Giraffedata – whose real name is Bryan Henderson – has led a one-man war for more than seven years.
Henderson has amassed more than 47,000 edits to the site, a feat that places him among the
FOOTWEAR Lowtops amp; sneakers Leonardo Principi Low Shipping Fee For Sale iEYreeD
on the English language version of Wikipedia. The encyclopedia attracts about 8 million page views per hour, ranking it among the most popular websites globally.
Since 2007, almost all of Henderson's edits have been to tweak the misuse of "comprised of" by other Wikipedians. In a compelling, 6000 word essay , which ranks among the top Google results for the phrase, Henderson sets out in exacting detail why it should be avoided.
"The phrase 'comprised of' is a poor wording in Wikipedia," his essay begins. "'Composed of' and 'consists of' are good alternatives," he continues. "Not everyone agrees 'comprised of' is wrong, but no one finds it better than the alternatives."
Wikipedia editor and grammar pedant Bryan Henderson, left, and his partner, Chun Xue.
I discovered the work of this remarkably diligent man last year, while working on edits of my first book, Talking Smack: Honest Conversations About Drugs .
My book editor had tweaked a single "comprised of" instance from my manuscript, opting to change the verb to "composed". Annoyed, I Googled the phrase in an effort to prove him wrong. It was then that I discovered Henderson's remarkable essay. Impressed, I thanked him on his Talk page, and spoke to him on the phone soon after.
"I'm proud of it," Henderson told me of his multi-year project "It's just fun for me. I'm not doing it to have any impact on the world."
He described how he found the site, became annoyed by its shortcomings, and made his first edit in September 2004. Over time, between working at the office of technology giant IBM in San Jose, California, and living an otherwise quiet life with his partner of 14 years, Chun Xue, Henderson became fixated on eradicating "comprised of" from the site.
His first such edit took place in August 2006 and, by the end of 2007, it was his sole focus, occupyinghim for an hour or so each Sunday night.
His project is not without its opponents. He has been criticised and insulted many times over the years, yet his responses – all archived on his Wikipedia Talk page – are never coloured by the emotion and outrage that his critics pour upon him. Smartly, he never takes the bait.
"I think it really irritates people when I respond unemotionally," he told me with a laugh. "When you're attacked, it's a natural tendency to attack back. I cut through all the insults, to find the meat; if they've asked a question, I answer it."
Wikipedians have a name for editors like Henderson: WikiGnomes . These are contributors who specialise in behind-the-scenes tasks, such as fixing typos and correcting grammar.
Their work is hard to spot, and often thankless. WikiGnomes tend not to seek the spotlight; instead, they're generally happy to toil away at their chosen missions because it gives them pleasure and a sense of achievement.
I cut through all the insults, to find the meat; if they've asked a question, I answer it.

Bipartisan commission to study Medicaid expansionStaff Report
July 07. 2013 6:07PM
CONCORD — A bipartisan commission assigned to study if New Hampshire should expand Medicaid coverage will kick off Monday, facing an Oct. 15 deadline for issuing its recommendations.
Lines already are drawn on what New Hampshire should do.
Americans for Prosperity-New Hampshire, an advocacy group opposed to expanding Medicare, pointed to the recent decision by the Obama administration to delay the start of the mandate for businesses to offer health insurance to workers or pay a penalty.
"The unraveling of Obamacare is starting, and hitching the state's finances to a train that's going off the tracks is a disaster waiting to happen," said Greg Moore, the group's state director.
Gov. Maggie Hassan said the state stands to lose about $1 million in federal funds per day for every day past Jan. 1, 2014, that Medicaid expansion is delayed."Accepting the $2.5 billion in federal funds available for Medicaid expansion is critical for boosting our economy, transforming our health-care system and providing needed health coverage for tens of thousands of New Hampshire working families," Hassan said.Hassan wants the Legislature to hold a special session to vote on the commission's recommendations.
Monday's meeting starts at 10 a.m. in Rooms 210-211 in the Legislative Office Building. The meeting will be live steamed via the General Court website.
The commission members are:
• Rep. Neal Kurk of Weare, the ranking Republican on the House Finance Committee who sits on the division that oversees appropriations to the Department of Health and Human Services.
• Rep. Cindy Rosenwald, a Nashua Democrat and chairwoman of the same finance committee division that handles the HHS budget.
• Sen. Andy Sanborn, a Bedford Republican and chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee.
• Rep. Tom Sherman, a Rye Democrat and physician.
• Sen. Nancy Stiles, a Hampton Republican and chairwoman of the Senate Health, Education and Human Services Committee.
• Sen. Peggy Gilmour, a Hollis Democrat and member of the Senate Health, Education and Human Services Committee.
• Jim Varnum, former president of Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital.
• Dr. Travis Harker, president of the New Hampshire Medical Society.
• Charlie Arlinghaus, president of the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy, a conservative think tank.
• Insurance Commissioner Roger Sevigny and Health and Human Services Commissioner Nick Toumpas will serve as non-voting members.

Description: Michael Rader, who was honored as a journeyman smith June 2006, is best known for creating dramatic swords and daggers with woodwork that is beyond compare. Recently, he put his attention to creating knives for chefs. The results are exceptional.
Like his hunting knives, this paring knife was pre-tested for edge flex and cutting ability before assembly. Many knife collectors and chefs feel that 52100 is among the best, if not the best, steel for edge holding. The edge is extremely keen and will stay that way for a very long time. Paring knives come in handy for all sorts of detail tasks around the kitchen. One of the most used knives for anything from peeling fruits and vegetables to chopping garlic.
The blade has been antiqued using Wayne Goddard's "mustard" protective finish. This attractive finish helps prevent rust and makes the knife easy to maintain. The bolster is integral -- a technique that, while common in production knives, is very rare in handmade knives due to the difficulty of implementation. The handle is formed from Hawaiian curly koa wood and has box elder burl accents. The wood has been stabilized so that it will hold up well under the rigorous demands of either a home or commercial kitchen. The knife has perfect balance and feels exceptional in the hand.

Ex-cop's claim he was given rifle is totally false says Auburn chiefBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
April 04. 2013 10:08PM
AUBURN - Police Chief Edward Picard adamantly denied that he gave a Remington rifle to retired police lieutenant David Flight, who was later charged with stealing the weapon, and denounced the state's decision not to prosecute the case.
Picard also rejected claims by Flight's attorney that there were other officers given weapons from the evidence room.
"I am sitting here and telling you today it's the furthest thing from the truth," Picard said during an interview Thursday. "Why would I give him something that wasn't mine to give?"
The prosecution against Flight dissolved last Tuesday when the state Attorney General's Office dropped felony theft charges alleging he took the high-powered rifle from a police evidence room sometime after Dec. 7, 1992. Before the charges were dropped, Flight's defense lawyer, Eric Wilson, suggested to a superior court judge that Picard gave Flight the weapon as payment for storing other firearms seized by the department.
"David Flight has a propensity for manipulating the truth," Picard said. "These claims that other officers were given weapons are totally false. The only advantage that David Flight had was that he had a good lawyer."
Picard said he had no doubt there was plenty of evidence about the alleged theft to put before a jury, despite the opinion of state prosecutors who felt that they could not prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. Picard said he planned to write Gov. Maggie Hassan to voice his disappointment in the handling of the case, and for the Attorney General's Office not fully disclosing to the public their reasons not to prosecute.
He said the AG's investigation into Flight took hundreds of hours over the course of a year, and produced direct evidence, witness testimony and records that would have proven the case.
"I was extremely disappointed because this was a year-long investigation that expended a lot of resources. They talked to every police officer in the department," Picard said. "They definitely dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's. They left no stone unturned."
Picard said even officers no longer working at the department were interviewed.
Flight, a former evidence officer and department prosecutor, was scheduled to go on trial Monday in Rockingham County Superior Court on charges of theft by unauthorized taking and receiving stolen property.
"If (Flight's) whole case was that he was going to put me on the stand, I was ready for it," Picard said.
Documents cited
Deputy Attorney General Ann Rice said Thursday that the defense's motion asking a judge to dismiss the charges, which included suggestions Picard gave Flight the weapon, had "nothing to do with" the decision not to take the case to trial.
"We located some documents late in the game that created some problems with proving the elements of the case," Rice said.
She refused to disclose the exact details of that evidence, despite the case being closed.
"I'm not going to go into all the rationale," Rice said.
Respected chief
Picard said he was told by state prosecutors last week that they had concerns about the statute of limitations in the case. He said defense witnesses would have included Flight's ex-wife, who would have been called to testify she was told by her former husband that the gun was a gift. Picard said Flight never stored weapons on behalf of the Auburn Police Department.
David Dion, chairman of Auburn's police commission, said he believes Flight would never have been able to offer any evidence that he or other officers were given firearms.
"I would stake my life or my family's life on it that the chief never, ever told him to keep that gun," said Dion, who has known Picard for 20 years.
He said that Picard is a widely respected figure in New Hampshire's law enforcement community, known for maintaining his integrity and high ethical standards.
Flight retired from the department in November 2010 after a town audit returned inconclusive results on missing inventory from the evidence room. Dion said that even the 2010 matter was referred to the Attorney General's Office for review at the suggestion of Picard.
When Auburn police sergeants first linked Flight to the missing rifle last January, they turned the matter over to the state Attorney General's Office to avoid any suggestion that Flight was getting special treatment, he said.
AG stands by decision
Picard said he would be open to having another law enforcement agency review the decision to drop the prosecution against Flight, but expressed doubt that it would lead to charges being re-filed.
"I would be inclined to do that, but what chance would they stand if the Attorney General's Office, the state's top cop, decided not to go forward with the case?" Picard said.
Rockingham County Attorney James Reams said Thursday that he is not authorized to review a decision not to prosecute, unless it was requested by the attorney general.
"I don't have any authority unless I'm asked," Reams said. Reams said that there have been instances where the Attorney General's Office has asked county attorneys to give cases a second look. Reams said he did not know the details about the decision not to prosecute Flight, but noted prosecutors are often faced with competing versions of facts, and doubts raised by the defense.
"There's really no guarantees in life," he said "There's always a risk with a jury trial."
Rice said her office "absolutely" stands by the decision to drop charges in the case, and said they had an ethical obligation not to pursue charges any further.
