The St. Mary's baseball team has extended their record to 12-1 after their five most recent games.
May 9 Game 1: St. Mary's 8, Sleepy Eye Public 0; Game 2: St. Mary's 11, Sleepy Eye Public 1
The St. Mary's baseball team has extended their record to 12-1 after their five most recent games.
On May 9, the Knights faced off in a doubleheader against the cross-town Indians. In the first game, St. Mary's took an early 3-0 and had five more runs in the fifth in which Sleepy Eye Public couldn't catch up to.
Pitching: Mike Zinniel 24 BF, 5 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K
Other: Sean Mathiowetz 3-4, 2 R
Mitch Neid 3-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 3 RBI
Lucas Heiderscheidt 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B
David Surprenant 2-4, 2 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI
Mike Hirsch 2-3, 1 R
In the second game, the Knights took their big lead in the third inning this time, and the game was over after the fifth inning.
Senior Sean Mathiowetz threw seven strikeouts to lead the Knights. It was his senior year pitching debut, due to a strained rotator cuff in his shoulder that kept him from pitching earlier this season.
Mathiowetz normally plays at shortstop, but he said he was excited to be back on the mound again.
"It feels good. Especially senior year," Mathiowetz said. "I mean it was tough not to be out there at the beginning of the year."
Mathiowetz said after throwing 58 pitches in game two, his shoulder didn't feel sore or strained.
"It felt good today," Mathiowetz said. "I wasn't coming back until I thought I was ready."
Pitching: Sean Mathiowetz 4 IP, 13 BF, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 7 K
David Surprenant 1 IP, 3 BF, 1 BB, 2 K
Other: Jordan Anderson 3-4, 2 R, 1 2B
Mathiowetz 3-4, 2 R, 2 2B, 3 RBI
Lucas Heiderscheidt 2-3, 1 R, 1 2B, 3 RBI
David Surprenant 2-3, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI
May 10: St. Mary's 15, Minneapolis Southwest 3
On May 10, St. Mary's traveled to Minneapolis to take on the 3A school of Minneapolis Southwest. The Knights scored eight runs in the third inning and added six more in the sixth.
"It was a fun night for our kids playing in downtown Minneapolis," St. Mary's coach Bruce Woitas said. "We played well and got a nice win."
Pitching: Jordan Anderson 21 BF, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 7 K.
Other: Anderson 0-3, 2 R, 2 RBI;
Sean Mathiowetz 2-4, 2 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI;
Brandon Helget 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 4 RBI;
Jon Kopacek 1-2, 2 R;
Lucas Heiderscheidt 1-3, 1 R, 1 2B;
David Surprenant 1-2, 2 R, 1 RBI
Mike Hirsch 1-2, 2 R, 1 RBI
Tyler Helget 2-3, 2 R, 1 RBI
May 13 Game 1: Springfield 3, St. Mary's 1; Game 2: St. Mary's 12, Springfield 3
The Knights lost their first game of the season on May 13 when they hosted Springfield in a doubleheader.
Senior Sean Mathiowetz pitched for St. Mary's and threw 12 strikeouts, but allowed six hits which was enough for the Tigers to get ahead.
"Last year we were undefeated going into playoffs and I think we were a little overconfident and we got bit," Mathiowetz said. "So I think it's not a good thing, but it's not the worst thing to get bit here in the regular season."
Coach Woitas had the same mentality in regard to their first loss.
"If we can learn from it and make it a positive, I think that's what we'll do with this," Woitas said. "Having a loss this time of year is probably okay, it gets everybody back down to earth a little bit."
Pitching: Sean Mathiowetz 27 BF, 6 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 12 K.
Other: Brandon Helget 1-2, 1 RBI;
Jon Kopacek 1-1.
Game two was quite different. The Knights took control early and had an offensive push in the last few innings to get their revenge on the Tigers.
Pitching: Jon Kopacek 24 BF, 4 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 8 K
Other: Sean Mathiowetz 2-4, 2 R, 1 RBI
Brandon Helget 2-4, 3 R, 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 RBI
Mitch Neid 1-3, 2 R, 1 RBI
Kopacek 4-5, 2 R, 2 2B, 3 RBI
David Surprenant 1-3, 1 R, 2 RBI
Mike Hirsch 2-3, 1 R

Horn's staff to be headed by veteran political operative, St. A gradBy JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
March 16. 2013 10:44PM
CONCORD - A veteran New York State political operative and Saint Anselm College alumnus has been tapped to become the executive director of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee under new chairman Jennifer Horn.
The New Hampshire Sunday News and UnionLeader.com have learned that Matthew Slater, 26, will join the New Hampshire GOP on or about April 1.
Slater most recently directed the Mid-Hudson Regional Office of the Republican leader of the New York State Assembly.
The district encompasses nine counties with a population of about 6 million.
Horn, who has been state party chair since Jan. 26, has also named several New Hampshire operatives to key staff posts:
-- David Chesley, a senior adviser to former Rep. Charlie Bass's 2012 campaign and manager of Horn's 2008 and 2010 congressional campaigns, will be party senior advisor and political director.
-- Jacob Avery will remain with the state party as director of operations.
He was the party's field representative before joining the 2012 Republican National Committee "Victory" campaign as deputy state director. He also managed state Sen. Andy Sanborn's successful 2010 campaign.
-- Meg Stone, who had been the party's communications director under former chair Wayne MacDonald, will now be a part-time manager of special projects.
She is also working as a part-time legislative aide with the New Hampshire House Republican caucus.
The party is also formally adding veteran communications specialist Ryan Williams as a paid outside advisor on communications and strategy.
Williams, well-known to the national and New Hampshire, was the state party's press secretary during former Gov. John H. Sununu's tenure as chairman during 2009 and 2010. He was most recently national deputy press secretary for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign and currently heads his own communications consulting practice.
The party said that Slater, in his New York legislative staff post, "helped elect, train and advise Republican candidates and assemblymen and assemblywomen."
He previously managed Bob Cohen's unsuccessful campaign for a New York state Senate seat in a hotly contested race, in which the Cohen campaign raised and spent about $900,000. He also was chief of staff to Assemblyman Steve Katz.
Slater also worked in the office of the Westchester County Board of Elections and volunteered on former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani's 2008 New Hampshire primary campaign.
In addition to his degree from Saint Anselm, he holds a masters degree in Public Administration from Marist College.
Horn said the party staff comprises "seasoned and experienced professionals."
The party, which has already become more aggressive in its messaging under Horn's early leadership, "is committed to building a strong party structure that will help us elect conservative candidates who will fight to restore fiscal sanity in Concord and Washington," she said.

"Get Lean in 2013!" is the call to arms (ahem) and to backs and guts, butts, quads, hams and calves for this year's Community Health Challenge.
The sixth annual health and community centered competition gets underway Sunday, Jan. 6 with a kick-off event, open to the public, that hopes to rally the community to take part in the three-month challenge that encourages people to achieve a healthier lifestyle and to get more people active in our community.
"Get Lean in 2013!" is the call to arms (ahem) and to backs and guts, butts, quads, hams and calves for this year's Community Health Challenge.
The sixth annual health and community centered competition gets underway Sunday, Jan. 6 with a kick-off event, open to the public, that hopes to rally the community to take part in the three-month challenge that encourages people to achieve a healthier lifestyle and to get more people active in our community.
Already causing a stir in the community is event organizers announcement that Olympic runner and Dawson native Carrie Tollefson will be the keynote speaker at this year's kick-off event, which begins at 3:30 p.m. at the Yellow Medicine East High School auditorium.
"It's exciting. We're all really looking forward to hearing (Tollefson) speak. We really want people to know that it's open to the public. So, if you want to just come and hear her speak, or if you've already got a team, or if you're on the fence about getting involved, just come on down," said Kilowatt Community Center Director Nick Richter.
Richter also pointed out that there would be supervised day care with the YME gymnasium being open for kids during the event.
As an athlete, Tollefson earned 13 State Championships at Dawson-Boyd: eight state titles in track and five in cross country. Her five straight cross country titles established a national record that stands to this day. She attended Villanova University, where she won five individual NCAA championships and was a member of the 1999 NCAA Cross Country Championship team. In 1998, Tollefson was named NCAA Indoor Track Athlete of the Year and was the first person in NCAA history to win both the 3k and 5k titles.
As a professional, Tollefson earned three National Championship titles (USA Track and Field Cross Country 4k, USATF Indoor Championships 3k and the USATF Olympic Trials 1500m). After winning the trials in 2004, she earned the right to represent her country in Athens, Greece in the 2004 Summer Olympic Games.
Currently, Tollefson lives in Minnesota, hosts the weekly show 'C Tolle Run', acts as a commentator/announcer for several national running events and engages in public speaking and running focused training camps for both youth and adults.
"Yeah, it's a pretty big deal to be able to bring someone like Carrie Tollefson out here," said Richter. "Countryside Public Health and (CPH Coordinator) Cindy Skulstad made that happen. They really went above and beyond."
As for the Challenge, again, over $2,000 is on the line. Last year, 52 teams (208 individuals) participated in the annual weight loss competition. Over 2,730 pounds were lost. Also in line with the competition, 1,486 items and $733 were donated to the local food shelf. And 100 units of blood were donated to the Red Cross.
The basics of the health challenge are simple. The cost of the challenge is $40 a team. Those four person teams (and families are encouraged to participate) will collect points both for their weight loss and for participating in community events over the course of 12 weeks. Besides looking and feeling better, the reward could be a cash prize, roughly: $1,000 for first place, $750 for second place and $500 for third place.
In the challenge, each percentage point of weight a team losses equates to 100 points. Teams also score points by completing the following; attending the kick-off event on Jan. 6, donating blood, attending 'Pack the Gym Days' at the KCC, donating food to the local food shelf, attending weekly weigh-ins and participating in the 'Health Challenge 3k Run/Walk'.
Up to the kick-off event, possible participants are asked to pick up registration and rule sheets at the Kilowatt Community Center, the YME Community Ed. office, or at the Advocate Tribune.
All ages are welcome to participate.
Weigh-ins will be held on Thursdays at the KCC, Bert Raney Elementary, the Granite Falls Hospital and Countryside Public Health. Final team registration is also due at these four sites by Monday, Jan. 14.

Posted on February 13, 2013
One of the loyal readers of this column noted recently, with a ripple of contempt, that the eBook cannot compare with its analog original. He is a bookstore browser: he likes to go in and find what he wants, but also to look around at the books grouped with it. In fact, he's been known to walk into bookstores and say, "What've ya got that's good by authors whose last names start with M?" Digital booklists take that away from him, and take away as well the joy of finding something great that he never suspected was waiting for him.
There are ways around that, of course. Those online lists can be prepared in many ways, and the subject sorting is something that is easily done: you just attach subject tags to the books which can be called up, allowing for as close a simulation of walking along a bookcase in a bookstore as is possible.
Speaking as someone with a bit of experience in sorting books, I'd have to be wary about that. How do they assign subjects to the books? If they take the recommendation of the publishers, who often stick a subject classification in the upper left corner of the back cover, they're in trouble. Not all publishers use the same lists, nor is a publisher going to be terribly objective about the process. A subject the publisher knows is a good seller will be preferred over something more accurate that sounds too scholarly for the mass buyer.
Now, a lot of books these days include the classifications of the Library of Congress. You'll find this stuff on the copyright page of the book, and I find it very useful for deciding what an author's last name is. (Does Han Suyin go under H or S? Gabriel Garcia Maqruez: G or M?) But the subject classifications—"Private Eyes, Female—Escondido, CA—Cooking—Fiction" leave me slackjawed. I can't see Kindle going that way.
In the 60s and 70s, an outfit tried to speed up the indexing of scientific articles by typing the article titles into a computer program which would single out the important nouns and modifiers. If you wanted to read anything recent on, say, the effect of gamma radiation on a certain kind of marigold, you could look up gamma, radiation, and/or marigold and see what came up. It did actually speed up the indexing process, at the cost of some specificity, and was useful enough to encourage the developers of the system to try it on literature and the social sciences.
The results were dismal. Whereas a scientist writing about carbon dating of fossil squirrels in Nebraska might actually call the article "Carbon-Dating of Fossil Squirrels in Nebraska", a literary historian writing about animal references in the poetry of Emily Dickinson might well call the article "I Started Early, Took My Dog", which the computer could index only under "Dog".
The technology has improved, but I'm not sure the brain has. Anthony Daniels, whose article in New Criterion on digitization and the future of books, suggests that authors and text-hunters will become a great deal more literal, to accommodate the search engines. I think we'll just see an expansion of the current rend toward poetic titles and really long subtitles (I Started Early, Took My Dog: References To Animals, Including Bees and Flies, in the Poetry of Emily Dickinson.)
The New Criterion article admits regret at the decline of bookstore browsing but suggests that it will go the way of the joys of trying to tune in an out-of-state TV channel (my example, not his). A generation that has grown up without it isn't going to miss it, or even understand what you're talking about. After all, any book they want will be instantly available through some eService.
The books they don't know they want, the books they might have found through browsing, will be lost to them because there will be no way for them to find out the books exist.
Well, unless there are a few bookstores (and, hey, Book Fairs) that try to wake them up.

Mother whose child was left in hot van: 'It was the biggest mistake in my life'By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 17. 2013 11:53AM
A 25-year-old Goffstown mom said the most horrible thing she's ever done in her life is to leave her 2-year-old daughter asleep in the family minivan when she scooted into the grocery store Tuesday afternoon.
Eleven minutes into the store, Sarah Jordan said she received a call from Goffstown police to return to her van. It's then that she realized what was happening.
"I'm not a horrible person. I love my daughter. I love all my kids, and I made a bad mistake," Jordan told the New Hampshire Union Leader. "It was the biggest mistake in my life."
Police charged her with endangering the welfare of her child. She was arrested in front of her children, brought to the station to be booked and then released on her own recognizance. She's scheduled to appear in Goffstown District Court Aug. 6 to answer the charge.
Police said the outside temperature at the time was 93 degrees, and the girl was red and sweating when rescued. Goffstown police Lt. Pierre Pouliout said the child could be in much worse shape if left in the van for a few additional minutes.
Jordan said she was distracted because her neighbor on Daniel Plummer Drive had been burglarized, and police were in the neighborhood asking questions. She was thinking about whether to get a home security system as she made her way to the Hannaford supermarket on Mast Road with her 2- and 8-year-old daughters.
The infant fell asleep, and Jordan and the older girl jumped out of the minivan to get dinner in the supermarket.
The stay-at-home mom said television news is making her into a horrible mother, which she said she's not.
She said she spoke with child protective workers at the state Division of Children, Youth and Families, and they plan to visit her and take a statement. Her girl remains in the family's care.
Jordan said she used her cellphone to determine she was in the store for 11 minutes. She said she is glad she cracked her windows before getting out of the van -- something she usually does to keep the interior from overheating.

Nashua Red Sox fan stabbed by Yankees fan wins $4.3M judgement against chowder houseBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
June 28. 2013 7:14PM
A groundskeeper at Nashua's Holman Stadium, who suffered life-altering injuries from a 2010 bar attack in Connecticut, has been awarded $4.3 million by a jury.
Monte Freire, 45, of Nashua, was stabbed in the neck on Oct. 2, 2010, at the U.S.S Chowder Pot III restaurant in Branford, Conn.
Although his assailant, John D. Mayor, of New Haven, Conn., was sentenced last year to 10 years in prison for the assault, Freire pursued a civil suit against the restaurant.
"The jury found that the restaurant itself, the proprietor of the restaurant, was responsible for his injuries in that its employee, a bartender, was negligent in choosing not to intervene in a verbal argument that was escalating," said Attorney Timothy Pothin, who represented Freire.
The 2010 bar fight made headlines during the end-of-the-season Yankees-Red Sox series because Freire, a Boston Red Sox fan, was attacked by Mayor, a New York Yankees fan, after a comment was made about the baseball rivalry.
Freire and some friends were in Connecticut for a softball tournament when the attack happened. Mayor was initially charged with first-degree assault, interfering with an officer, tampering with evidence, breach of peace and possession of a controlled substance for the attack.
Freire nearly died twice the night of the stabbing and had to be revived both times, according to media reports at the time. He has since undergone many surgeries.
"He has scars inside and out. He has had a hard time," Pothin said of his client, who is still the head groundskeeper for the city's Parks and Recreation Department.
Freire lost a significant amount of blood from the stabbing, and suffered a stroke because of the diminished blood flow to his brain, according to Pothin, who said it resulted in a brain injury, cognitive deficits, minor paralysis and visual perception problems.
According to Pothin, Freire is grateful that the jury understood the case and ultimately decided to hold the restaurant accountable.
"The bartender was warned twice that night, and he chose not to intervene," said Pothin, of Stratton Faxon Trial Lawyers LLC. "We felt very strongly that this was a case of egregious negligence."
The $4.3 million awarded to Freire will help provide him with the medical care he will need long into the future, said Pothin, who hopes the award will serve as a lesson to other bars.
It took a New Haven Superior Court jury three hours on Thursday to deliberate the case after a two-week trial.
On the date of the attack, the Red Sox and Yankees played a doubleheader, with each team winning one of the games, both of which were decided by a single run scored in the tenth inning.

Judge sentences Spader to life again, citing 'irretrievable depravity'By KATHRYN MARCHOCKI
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 26. 2013 11:34AM
MANCHESTER — A judge today sentenced former Brookline teen and convicted ringleader of the savage 2009 Mont Vernon "thrill kill" Steven Spader to the same term imposed at trial, saying there is nothing in his youthful background, home life, maturity level or prospect for rehabilitation that would warrant a lesser sentence.
"It is not a lack of maturity impoverishing his judgment, but rather a profound and disturbing lack of humanity," Hillsborough County Superior Court Gillian L. Abramson wrote in her 21-page sentencing order issued today.
Abramson sentenced Spader, now 21, to life in prison without chance of parole for the first-degree murder of Mont Vernon registered nurse Kimberly L. Cates, 42. She also sentenced Spader to 76 years in maximum consecutive sentences for the attempted murder of Cates' daughter, Jaimie, then 11, and three other related charges.
The sentence is the same Abramson imposed — and the state requested — after Spader was convicted in 2010 at trial.
That sentence became void last June when the U.S. Supreme Court issued its Miller v. Alabama decision. In that ruling, the court said it was unconstitutional to sentence juvenile offenders to mandatory life imprisonment without chance of parole, saying this violated the Eighth Amendment's ban against cruel and unusual punishment.
The Miller decision did not bar court's from imposing mandatory life sentences without chance of parole, but said offenders who were under 18 years of age had a right to individual sentencing hearings.
"Admittedly, the U.S. Supreme Court has cautioned trial courts that 'occasions for sentencing juveniles to this harshest possible penalty will be uncommon.'" Abramson wrote.
"However, the court finds this defendant is uniquely and persistently malevolent and, as such, is an 'uncommon' example under the Miller analysis," she concluded.
Spader chose not to attend his sentencing hearing Monday and ordered his attorneys not to present a case on his behalf.

Report sheds light on Auburn officer's 2010 resignation, dropped chargesBy PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 25. 2013 9:53PM
AUBURN — A former Auburn police officer resigned three years ago during an investigation into missing money from the department's evidence room, an area under his charge, according to recently released investigative files from the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office.
Lt. David C. Flight, a 21-year-veteran of the department, resigned in 2010, but no reason was ever publicly given until the release of the investigative file compiled in the alleged theft of a Remington rifle from the evidence room.
Last year, about two years after he retired, Flight was indicted on receiving stolen property and theft by unauthorized taking charges in connection with that rifle.
Prosecutors with the Attorney General's Officer later dropped the charges after investigators discovered a ledger that recorded the confiscation of about 60 long rifles from an Auburn resident in 1992. Those rifles were stored at Flight's home because, at the time, the police station's closet-size evidence room could not hold them, Flight maintained.
He said Police Chief Edward Picard gave him the Remington model 7400 30-06 rifle with scope, confiscated from another Auburn resident in 1992 during an investigation into a home invasion, in payment for storing the other firearms.
"That's not true," Picard said. Picard pointed out the rifles Flight said he stored at his house were confiscated as part of another investigation conducted by state police, not Auburn police.
The weapons were later returned to the owner, who picked them up at the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office, according to Picard. The rifle that Flight allegedly had in his possession was confiscated in a home invasion case which Flight investigated, the chief said.
Picard, according to the investigative files, said he did not recall weapons ever being stored at Flight's home. The ledger, however, clearly indicates the rifles were moved to Flight's home, but Picard told The New Hampshire Union Leader it was Flight who maintained the ledger.
Flight retired in 2010 amid an investigation. Town officials never said publicly what that probe involved or why Flight retired. However, in the just released investigative file concerning the missing rifle, Auburn police Lt. Charles Pelton said, "He left because cash missing from evidence room; failed policy; referred to AG; he ended up retiring — no charges."
Picard would not comment on that investigation or why Flight retired.
The rifle became the subject of an investigation when officers were doing an inventory of the evidence room, in anticipation of having a judge approve forfeiture of some guns, which the department planned to sell to Riley's Gun Shop in Hooksett. Picard said the department used the credit from Riley's to buy ammunition and needed weapons.
In 2009, Flight's wife obtained a domestic violence petition against him, requiring him to turn in his weapons, 17 in all. No charges were brought and ultimately the weapons were returned to him, except for an illegal sawed off shotgun that police destroyed.
It was during the inventory that officers realized a rifle, confiscated during a 1992 investigation into a home invasion, was missing. An officer put the serial number for the weapon into the computer program, and it turned up as being one of the guns turned in by Flight and later returned to him.
As a result, Picard asked the Attorney General's Office to investigate.
The 250-page investigation, released after the New Hampshire Union Leader filed a Right-to-Know request, depicts an angry Flight lashing out at the department, telling investigators former Police Chief Lloyd Wood — who left office more than 20 years ago — had carried in an ankle holster a stainless police special taken from evidence. He left, Flight said, because he had dated Ed Socha's secretary and knew that the Parker-Milne mansion, where Socha lived and which burned to the ground in 1984, had been set on fire. Wood, Flight told investigators, never told anybody what he knew.
Socha, a millionaire Manchester developer, years later went to prison for the arson, insurance fraud of more than $1 million and witness tampering.
Flight also maintained it was not uncommon for Picard to call Flight and ask "what do we have that was taken away?" I need a BB gun or I need .22 rifle, Flight said Picard would ask, telling investigators he believed he gave Picard at least two BB guns and one or more .22 rifles.
Picard denies the allegations and told investigator Paul Brodeur he had a Daisy BB gun that he used to scare away squirrels from his bird feeder.
The chief also was asked whether he had given Flight an old shotgun that would have been of no value. He said no, but told the story of "years and years ago" of pulling over a driver who was in a clown's outfit. When the clown opened his glove compartment, there was a sawed-off shotgun in it. The clown driver was arrested and the gun confiscated.
It went into the evidence locker, Picard said, and then up to the state Police Standards & Training Academy to be used for training purposed. It was later returned to Auburn police and returned to the evidence locker.
Brodeur told the chief he was talking about a .12 gauge Beretta over and under shotgun that had a cut off barrel. Picard said the one he recovered was a side-by-side double barrel.
Flight also said it was common practice in the case of a minor in possession of alchol for police to dispose of the beer, once the case was adjudicated, by putting it out on a table and announcing whoever wanted it could take it. Capt. Gary Bartis, he said, took most of it.
Flight recalled Picard saying something to the effect that, "the judge told us to destroy it but he didn't say it couldn't be filtered through our kidneys first."
Picard told investigators that he was joking when he said that, and while that happened years and years ago, it had not happened since the Kingston case, a New Hampshire Supreme Court ruling issued in 1986. Flight was hired in 1989, however.
The Kingston case involved the motor vehicle death of a 16-year-old girl in 1982. Two Kingston officers had stopped the car filled with teens, confiscated what was left of a case of beer and sent the teens on their way. The teens drove to Haverhill, Mass., where they bought some more beer, went to a drive-in and drank it. Later that night, the car crashed, killing the 16-year-old girl and injuring two others, including a 13-year-old girl.
The Flight investigation resulted in changes to the Auburn police evidence room, Picard told investigators. No one can enter it now without being in the company of an evidence technician and everyone is videotaped while inside the room.
Picard said that, unfortunately, previous security had been a bit too lackadaisical.

NH Senate president: Eliminate Merrimack toll boothsBy JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
February 12. 2013 9:53PM
CONCORD - Senate President Peter Bradgon wants to eliminate the ramp toll booths at all three F.E. Everett Turnpike exits in Merrimack, telling fellow lawmakers Tuesday the tolls have served their purpose and place an unfair burden on the town's commuters.
Bragdon is a five-term Milford Republican who now represents Merrimack for the first time as a result of last year's redistricting.
In testimony before the Senate Ways and Means Committee, he acknowledged the move would cost the state $650,000 to $2.5 million. But he said it would be subtracted from a turnpike system revenue stream totaling $70 million and could be easily absorbed.
Bragdon pointed out that in 2010, the turnpike system was financially healthy enough to be able to transfer $120 million to the state Highway Fund to help balance the state budget.
Bragdon is sponsoring Senate Bill 3 along with co-sponsor Sen. Chuck Morse, R-Salem, who chairs the Senate Finance Committee. There are five House co-sponsors.
Bragdon said the current system is "unfair to the town and the people of Merrimack."
The tolls were built in 1989 to pay for about $50 million in road improvements to facilitate more industry in Merrimack.
Since that time, Bragdon said, there have been road improvements in other communities and no new tolls have been added to pay for them. He cited the Manchester Airport Access Road and the Granite Street Exit in Manchester and improvements in Concord.
Raise tolls elsewhere?
The state Department of Transportation opposed the proposal.
Commissioner Christopher Clement, in a letter to the committee, wrote that the department must do more bonding in the future for several turnpike projects and "the erosion of revenue" by eliminating the tolls could hurt the agency's credit rating and make borrowing more expensive.
Clement said $49 million in bonding used to build the three Merrimack exchanges 24 years ago are still outstanding and will not be paid off until 2020 and 2024.
He suggested that if one or more of the Merrimack tolls are eliminated, the state should consider increasing tolls elsewhere to make up for the loss of revenue.
"It would be, in the department's opinion, short-sighted to remove the Merrimack tolls without enhancing revenue to offset the loss," Clement wrote.
But Bragdon said Merrimack drivers are forced to pay tolls to go just a few miles, while drivers in other communities can drive substantial distances for free.
He pointed out that drivers in the Nashua-Hudson area can drive nine miles to the Massachusetts border with no tolls, while drivers in Manchester and surrounding towns have free access to four entrances and exits.
Bragdon said, "A state agency with $120 million in excess cash sitting around that can be used to bail out other state agencies is collecting more than it needs and will certainly not miss $650,000 or even $2.5 million.
"Regardless of the cost, this is the right thing to do," Bragdon said.

A bridge to where? A scandal and Chris Christie's future
January 16. 2014 12:58AM
The George Washington Bridge traffic jam scheme apparently hatched in New Jesey Gov. Chris Christie's executive offices is a legitimate political scandal of undetermined magnitude. Pundits who dismiss it as a non-issue seem to a) assume that nothing more will be discovered, b) discount how serious a violation of public trust the lane closures were, and c) not know how passionate New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary voters are about the misuse of state power.
On Aug. 13 of last year, Bridget Kelly, deputy chief of staff to Gov. Christie, emailed David Wildstein, a Christie appointee at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey: "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee." Wildstein emailed back, "Got it." Weeks later, the Port Authority closed two access lanes for the George Washington Bridge — the world's busiest — in Fort Lee.
Regarding the closures, the public knows little more than that. Were they retribution for Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich, a Democrat, not endorsing Christie for governor? (The Wall Street Journal identified then-Christie aide Matt Mowers, now the executive director of the New Hampshire Republican Party, as the staffer sent to ask Sokolich to consider endorsing Christie.) Were they to harm a big development in Fort Lee? The motive remains a mystery, as does the full list of participants.
Two legislative committees in New Jersey are scheduled to begin investigating the closures today. What they and some enterprising journalists find is likely to determine whether Christie strides into New Hampshire next year as a viable presidential candidate.
If Christie was telling the truth when he spent two hours last Thursday denying any involvement in or knowledge of the scheme to close those lanes, he can weather this storm, though trusting staffers capable of such vindictiveness will be considered a mark against him. If he was not telling the truth, his political career should be finished. The American public must not tolerate any politician of any party who would callously turn the machinery of the state against the people for his own personal gain.

CLEMENTS - A rancher is reporting that a mutilated horse has been dumped on her property for the second time in just over two months.
CLEMENTS - A rancher is reporting that a mutilated horse has been dumped on her property for the second time in just over two months.
Rancher Jan Johnson called the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday to report an emaciated female thoroughbred horse was dumped on her Clements driveway with its lips cut off.
In November, Johnson reported a thoroughbred stallion was dumped on her property with its throat slit and tail cut off.
"It is horrible. Its bones were sticking out from starvation," said Kate Montgomery, a friend of Johnson's who runs a dog rescue.
Montgomery said she thinks the lips were cut off to remove a tattoo commonly used to identify thoroughbreds.
Sheriff's spokesman Deputy Les Garcia said the department is launching an investigation on the dumped horse. He said it would be a leap of logic to assume the horse dumping is some sort of harassment toward Johnson.
It is not illegal for a horse owner to kill the animal, Garcia said. Dumping usually occurs because it can cost up to $200 to have a horse's body disposed of. Garcia said the best way to stop this is for witnesses who might have seen the horse being dumped to come forward.
Montgomery said Johnson has sent a hair sample from the horse to the Jockey Club, where DNA testing could help reveal who owned the horse.

Cooper County Historial Society to host a trivia night
The Cooper County Historical Society (CCHS) will once again be hosting Trivia Night at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Boonville on Saturday, January 26 at 6 p.m. A press release from the historical society stated that for six years Trivia Night has started the new year with individuals enjoying a supper buffet and a chance to bid on silent auction items. The evening is capped off with a night of trivia with free popcorn and drinks offered during the night. Ten categories with questions ranging from geography, science, music, movies and politics will be asked to the participants. The teams will then debate among themselves and write down what they think the correct answer is. Dawn Taylor of Taylor's Bake Shop in Boonville spends the whole year working up questions. Each team will also get to come up with their own creative name. "It's a fun casual night- the teams think up names and some of them are hilarious!" said Florence 'Winky' Chesnutt, CCHS member. The table with the most correct answers will take home eight prizes of cash and merchandise contributed by generous area donors. Reservations for tables can be made by emailing Dawn Taylor at email@example.com or by calling 660-888-9438. Each seat costs $15 for a total of $120 entry fee per table. All funds go to the Cooper County Historical Society to help support their research center and library.

The larger Cameron Lady Dragons mauled St. James on the boards on Thursday. That, coupled with an off-shooting night by the Lady Tigers, allowed Cameron to pull away for a 68-53 victory in Missouri Class 3 State Tournament Semifinal action at the Mizzou Arena.
The undersized St. James High School girls' basketball team has been accustomed to being outrebounded this season.
The Lady Tigers have generally been able to overcome by outplaying their opposition in other areas.
However, when you're outrebounded by a whopping 30 boards...you had better be close to flawless in all other areas.
St. James wasn't on Thursday afternoon and had its dreams of a state championship dashed.
The larger Cameron Lady Dragons mauled St. James on the boards on Thursday. That, coupled with an off-shooting night by the Lady Tigers, allowed Cameron to pull away for a 68-53 victory in Missouri Class 3 State Tournament Semifinal action at the Mizzou Arena.
In the other Class 3 girls' semifinal game on Thursday Lutheran St. Peters held off St. Louis North Tech 65-61 to reach the title game. Lutheran St. Peters is to meet Cameron at 1:20 p.m. Saturday at the Mizzou Arena for the Class 3 championship.
Cameron never trailed against St. James, although the Lady Tigers were in contention late. St. James trailed by four points with two minutes remaining, but was outscored by the Lady Dragons 13-2 in the final 2:00.
"You can't shoot (30) percent," said St. James head coach Terry Wells. "We knew we would probably be outrebounded. But we usually win the turnover battle, which we did again (Thursday). But we didn't turn them into points."
St. James was usually limited to one shot on the offensive end. Meanwhile, on their offensive end the Lady Dragons got a slew of second- or third-opportunities.
In all Cameron outrebounded St. James 49-19.
"We thought we could outrebound them," said Cameron head coach Matt Wenck. "We had a rebounding advantage and we wanted to crash the boards."
St. James, as usual, won the turnover battle, forcing 22 while committing just seven itself. However, the transition baskets that the Lady Tigers depend on were rare on Thursday. And St. James shot just 31 percent from the field, including a 4-for-20 performance from three-point range.
Cameron 5-9 junior forward Ashli Lykins proved to be the difference in the game, particularly in the first quarter.
Lykins fired in a game-high 29 points on 10-for-16 shooting from the field, including 22 first-half points as the Lady Dragons compiled a double-figure halftime lead.
Three minutes in it was a one-point game. Cameron then went on a 8-1 run, and a pair of free throws by 5-10 sophomore forward Taylor Hamilton with 2:42 left in the first period gave the Lady Dragons an eight-point edge. However, St. James sophomore guard Ashlee Marlatt netted a three-pointer off the left baseline with :48 left to cut St. James' deficit to 12-8 entering the second period.
St. James closed to within one point at the 5:02 mark of the second period when junior guard Emma Rogers hit 1-of-2 free throws. It was a three-point Cameron lead with 2:30 remaining in the first half.
However, the Lady Dragons (20-11) reeled off eight unanswered points over the final 2:29 of the half – all coming from Lykins. With three seconds remaining in the half Lykins was fouled, after which Wells was whistled for a technical foul. Lykins sank 3-of-4 free throws to give Cameron a 34-23 edge at intermission.
The Lady Dragons' 5-9 junior forward Maizey Hughes opened the second half with a put-back basket after the third Cameron offensive rebound of the possession.
St. James then roared back with 10 unanswered points. And a put-back by senior forward M.J. Buschmann with 2:47 remaining in the quarter cut the Cameron edge to three, 36-33.
Yet another Lady Dragon run in the final two minutes of the period again padded the lead. And 5-5 sophomore guard Melia Richardson banked in a long three-point attempt at the buzzer to make it 46-37 heading into the fourth period.
Richardson opened the fourth quarter by scoring a layup following a St. James turnover to make it an 11-point Lady Tiger deficit.
Six straight St. James points followed, and a pair of free throws by sophomore guard Alexis Uffmann at the 6:25 mark cut the lead back to five, 48-43.
The two squads traded baskets or free throws over the next four minutes. Buschmann scored six straight Lady Tiger points on two layups and two free throws. Her free throws at the 2:00 mark brought St. James to within four, 55-51.
However, the momentum quickly turned back to Cameron when the Lady Dragons sprinted the distance on the ensuing inbounds play, with Lykins sinking a layup and being fouled. She added the free throw and all of a sudden it was a seven-point Dragon advantage.
Lykins' three-point play triggered a 13-2 Cameron run to ice things.
"She came out in the first half and had something to prove," Wells said of Lykins.
"When Ashli gets on fire, we know to get her the ball," said Richardson, Cameron's point guard.
Buschmann led St. James with 17 points while freshman guard Shauna Rinehart added 13 points and Uffmann tallied 10 points and five steals before fouling out.
Richardson added 19 points while Hamilton and Lykins had 12 and 11 rebounds, respectively.

Ted Siefer's City Hall: Alderman fearful after police dispatcher's 'manic' response to station debateBy TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 06. 2013 1:05AM
THE NAMING of the new police headquarters has stirred up quite a bit of passion. Recall that Chief David Mara had intended to name the station after Michael Briggs, the officer killed in the line of duty in 2006. Some felt the move effaced the memory of Ralph Miller, an officer killed 1976 and the namesake for the now-defunct Chestnut Street station. Alderman Joe Kelly Levasseur had proposed a hyphenated name. According to Levasseur, he and Mara had a heated exchange about the issue at the final aldermen's meeting of the year, Dec. 18. At least one person in the audience, later identified as a city police dispatcher, was none too pleased with Levasseur, and by the alderman's account, he went beyond giving him dirty looks. "It is quite obvious he became unglued, unhinged and manic in his actions," Levasseur wrote in an email to Mara. "To have to be pulled out of the room by the chief of police says quite a bit about his character and ability to effectively work for the Manchester Police Department." Levasseur wants to lodge a formal complaint against the officer, whom he fears may try to retaliate against him, he said. So far, the MPD hasn't identified the officer to Levasseur. He was not in uniform at the meeting. But an officer investigating the incident did contact the alderman late last week. In his email, Levasseur raised the possibility of going to the Attorney General's Office if the department wasn't more responsive to his concerns. "I do not even feel safe simply going out for a beer because of this officer's actions. If he acts this way directly towards me in an open setting like a meeting at City Hall, what in the world is he going to do in a dark street?"

For those concerned that the school district is moving toward replacing teachers with robots, rest assured. Mayor Ted Gatsas wants there to be real live people in the "virtual classrooms" the district hopes to have in place in a couple of weeks. But just as Gatsas has presented virtual education as a novel response to the district's shortage of funds and teachers, the mayor is taking an original approach to staffing the labs: He's seeking volunteers. "I would hope all the people out there who have had a lot to say about our schools would call Dr. (Thomas) Brennan," Gatsas said, referring to the superintendent. The volunteers could be "retired businesspeople, teachers, anybody in the community that wants to donate some time," Gatsas said, adding that "they would have to get clearances to move forward." The virtual education plan has two components: "blended" classrooms, in which students would take courses offered by the state's virtual charter school (V-LACS), and remote classrooms, in which students could participate through video teleconferencing in a teacher-led class at another location. Gatsas said he would like to make use of volunteer proctors in both settings. Not surprisingly, the teachers union has been wary of the plan, and the prospect of manning the virtual classrooms with volunteers further discomforted Ben Dick, the president of the Manchester Education Association. "The whole thing in its infancy raises concerns," he said. "I've maintained all along that this certainly has the potential to be beneficial, but it certainly is not the end-all, be-all to solving problems, particularly financial and overcrowding concerns." Dick said that based on his talks with the superintendent, he thought the plan was to "hire monitors" who wouldn't necessarily have to be certified teachers. The district uses monitors, who are paid and trained, in computer labs where students take remedial courses, according to Dick. Gatsas may have more leverage when it comes to the virtual classrooms. He is the guy, after all, who went out and raised $37,500 from the business community to fund the program. That's not as much as the $80,000 Brennan estimated starting up the program would cost when he presented the idea in November. The greatest expense, by Brennan's calculations, would be the $43,500 per semester for three V-LACS lab facilitators. Gatsas said he's in the final stages of securing donations of equipment for the program. As for the businesses that "stepped up" to support the program, they would be: Dan Quirk of Quirk Automotive; the Scrivanos family, who own several Dunkin' Donuts franchises; and Jeremy Hitchcock, the CEO of Dyn, the Internet technology company.

Speaking of the business community getting involved in the schools, the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce is sending out a survey to business owners and leaders to get their views on education issues. Robin Comstock, chamber president, said the survey is the first step of the chamber's newly established education committee. "A lot of members are quite concerned about the challenges they see with the public education system," she said. "We believe a sound education system is the foundation of a strong community that attracts employers and jobs and that has a work force that is ready and capable." This is not the first time the chamber has waded into education matters. In 2004, it presented a 120-page report, the product of months of interviews conducted by a research firm. Amid the current uproar of school conditions and allegations of underfunding, the nearly decade-old report does offer a little historical perspective. For example, about 62 percent of businesses and residents at the time said schools were underfunded. The report also noted there were 100 high school classes that had more than 30 students. At that same time, it's worth noting that 68 percent of the people interviewed for the 2004 report said they would recommend the district to those considering moving to the city, and 65 percent said they thought the district was headed in the right direction. It would be interesting to see how people might respond to these questions this time around.

Insiders handicap candidates for AGBy KATHRYN MARCHOCKI
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 22. 2013 11:00PM
As Gov. Maggie Hassan considers potential candidates to succeed outgoing state Attorney General Michael A. Delaney, insiders suggest at least three strong contenders for the job.
U.S. Attorney for New Hampshire John P. Kacavas and Lucy C. Hodder, who is the governor's legal counsel and a former assistant attorney general who specialized in health care law while in private practice, are two names that rise to the top of the list of likely candidates, according to legal experts and current and former state officials. Former Senate Majority Leader Joseph A. Foster of Nashua also emerges as a serious contender for the state's top attorney.
All three are described as extremely capable, intelligent and highly-skilled lawyers capable of representing New Hampshire well in the civil and criminal arenas.
"She (Hassan) will look for someone well grounded in the law, who can fulfill the function of the state's chief law enforcement officer, and has an able, legal mind that will best represent the state," said one observer who previously worked in the governor's office.
Several county attorneys could also be under consideration, but sources said they expect Hassan would be focusing on candidates with more in-depth civil and criminal experience.
They also said they don't expect Hassan to favor a woman over a man, noting the governor appears intent on finding the best person for the job.
Delaney this week announced he would not seek a second-term when his appointment expires March 31. He agreed to stay on to assist with the transition.
Insiders said they expect Hassan will present her nominee to the Executive Council for approval by late April or early May.
District Four Executive Councilor Christopher C. Pappas could not discuss potential candidates, but said "there is no lack of people with good legal minds in New Hampshire."
"I feel pretty confident that she is going to find a strong successor to Mike Delaney," Pappas said Friday.
Serving as the state's top law enforcement officer is one of the most high-profile and significant aspects of the Attorney General's office, which prosecutes all homicides in the state. In addition, the office serves as the legal bureau for all state agencies, defending them against civil suits and it handles both civil and criminal appeals before Supreme Court. The office includes a charitable trust bureau.
Appointed U.S. Attorney for the District of New Hampshire by President Obama in 2009, Kacavas oversees all federal criminal prosecutions, civil litigation and federal law enforcement initiatives. A Manchester native, Kacavas served from 1993 to 1999 in the state Attorney General's office, where he was chief of the homicide unit. He later was a criminal division trial attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. He then worked nine years at Kacavas Ramsdell & Howard, a private practice he founded.
Hodder left Rath Young and Pignatelli law firm this year to become legal counsel to Hassan. She was a shareholder in the Concord law firm where she specialized in health care law and chaired the firm's Health Care Practice Group. Prior to working at Rath Young Pignatelli, Hodder worked in the civil division of the state Attorney General's office from 1993 to 1997.
Foster served as state Senate Majority Leader from 2007 to 2008 and chaired the state Senate Judiciary Committee where he often worked with law enforcement officials from across the state. He currently is chairman of the bankruptcy practice group at McLane, Graf, Raulerson & Middleton law firm in Manchester.
State Republican Party Chairman Jennifer Horn criticized Hodder as a contender for Attorney General because of she previously worked as a lobbyist for Millennium Gaming president William Wortman, while in private practice. Horn claimed Hodder would be "in the pocket of the gambling lobby."
Hassan's spokesman Marc Goldberg did not respond to an email request for comment.

Yay or Nay: Autumnal Tones on The Sartorialist
For me, the Sartorialist is often 'Hail or Fail' in that sometimes I want to literally hunt down the people in his photographs to steal their outfits and sometimes I just want to hunt them down and …hurt them?

While I love the proportion play of the trench and tight, knit waistcoat and the relatively baggy trousers tucked into the boots, I'm not as convinced by the Autumnal colour scheme.
Silas Winter Lookbook
A while ago when Silas pulled out of the UK I was pretty gutted because at the time they were my favorite brand due to the fact that their T-Shirts fit so damn well, the actual design of the T's were less important to me but to be fair these were just as great. Silas has returned to the UK (though the brand still concentrates on its much larger following in Japan) and has grown up a wee bit with some smarter pieces to their range such as the awesome knitwear and coats featured in this winter 08 lookbook put together by Unbar.

Does the world need anymore cardigans? No but the world doesn't need another drunk blond hick, but we have Jessica Simpson and I love her. These cardigans and Jessica Simpson do have a few things in common: we don't need them, there's nothing really special about them, we have loads of them but we kinda like them.

Polo necks are still too Alan Partridge for me; as much as I love our man from Norwich the thought of actually wearing one fills me with dread.

As the old saying goes, 'another day, another Fred Perry collaboration'. This time with Tomoki Sukezane. It does make a mockery of the whole 'Fred Perry is for fans of style not fashion' stance though, as the company are clearly using collaborations as a means to follow trends.
Cold Method: 9 is the magic number
With most brands turning into lifestyle brands, you'll have to provide a little extra to stand out from the crowd. Cold Method are doing just that with their '9 aesthetics' capsule collection. The Dutch label state that you need 9 essentials for every season, starting with a t-shirt, denim, shirt, trousers, knitwear, suit, coat and an accessory. Check out the collection at their website.

Nor'easter may bring heavy snow, strong winds to NH FridayBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
February 06. 2013 12:48PM
Forecasters are warning New Hampshire residents to brace for a powerful Nor'easter that could bring strong winds and dump at least a foot of snow on parts of the state Friday.
Winter storm watches were expanded to cover the entire state Wednesday morning for the storm, which is expected to move in Friday morning and linger into Saturday.
"I think the possibility of heavy snow is pretty good. Our recommendation is to continue to stay tuned," said John Jensenius, warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine.
A low pressure system over the Northern Plains and a second over Texas are expected to merge into a powerful coastal storm off the Mid-Atlantic coast and then track northeast.
Jensenius said the southern and southeastern part of the state could see the highest snow totals with the strongest winds near the coast.

Zambia is ranked 150th out of 169 on the Human Development Index and has recently been reclassified as a lower middle income country by the World Bank. Poverty and food insecurity are widespread in both rural and urban areas, and the country remains extremely vulnerable to recurring natural disasters, including floods, drought and animal disease.
Food production levels vary widely from year to year. Food security is fragile because subsistence farmers depend on rainfall and traditional hoe cultivation, and even in years of national food surplus, many subsistence farmers or households often struggle.
The lack of proper infrastructure, inadequate provision of agricultural inputs, poor access to markets, and the slow pace of change in attitudes towards crop and livelihood diversification also continue to undermine farming capacity.
The country has had bumper harvest in the maize production since 2011. While the harvest will help to improve overall food security, tens of thousands of people will still require food assistance due to the localised impact of floods and because many of the poorest and most vulnerable people will not be able to access sufficient food, even though staple food prices have fallen from their very high 2008 levels.
The national HIV prevalence rate is ranked seventh globally at 12.7 percent, and chronic malnutrition prevalence for children under age five is ninth highest in the world at 45.4 percent. Some 53 percent and 46 percent of Zambian children have Vitamin A and iron deficiency respectively, compromising their long term development
Standard national statistics for malnutrition levels amongst under-fives are 5 percent wasting, 28 percent underweight and 47 percent stunting (low height for age).
WFP Activities
WFP activities in Zambia are implemented as an integral part of the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) and in line with the 'Delivering as One' mechanism under which UN agencies in selected countries have pledged to work together to ensure a more coordinated and effective level of action in areas of development, humanitarian assistance and the environment.
The WFPs Strategic Plan is aligned with both the Sixth National Development Programme (2011-2016) and The UNDAF (2011-2015). The overarching goal of the strategy is to support the Government's priorities to reach the MDG hunger targets and ensure long-term solutions to hunger, consistent with the Government of Zambia's "Vision 2030
WFP programme activities in Zambia operate within the framework of a Country Programme (CP 2011 to 2015).
Country Programme
CP (DEV 200157) contributes to WFP's Strategic Objectives (1, 2, 3 and 4) and United Nations Development Assistance Framework Outcomes 1 to 5, as well as towards the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The CP focuses on:
- Improving human capital through food based safety-nets;
- Improving Government preparedness to respond to and mitigate disasters as a way of reducing vulnerability; and
- Expanding market opportunities for smallholder farmers by leveraging local food procurement..
Home Grown School Feeding Programme
The World Food Programme in collaboration with the Ministry of Education has been jointly implementing a School Meals Programme from 2003. A meal is provided to more than 861,000 children across the country every school day.
The programme aims at improving the quality of learning through improved enrolment, retention and reduced absenteeism. The programme targets districts with higher levels of food insecurity and low education achievement also taking into account high HIV, poverty and malnutrition rates. The programme also aims to enhance smallholder farmer's productive capacity by linking them to a predictable market – in this case the school. Farmers are reached through cooperatives, given skills in crop aggregation to guarantee quality assurance
Purchase for Progress (P4P)
Purchase for Progress (P4P) is a WFP global pilot project aimed at supporting smallholder farmer to improve their marketing arrangements through increased access and better linkages to more lucrative markets. Through P4P, WFP Zambia is supporting the Zambian Government to strengthen its capacity to provide social safety nets to assist poor and hungry households and is committed to purchasing Zambian grown commodities for food assistance interventions in the country and the region.
WFP has linked up with FAO which is implementing the Conservation Agriculture Scale Up program funded by the EU targeting 315,000 farmers. The partnership will focus on the pulses value chain and provide a market for the farmers adopting Conservation Agriculture through a network of aggregation centers. These centers will be designed in such a way that they could evolve into multi service centers for smallholder farmers through strong partnerships with a range of private rural stakeholders. The lessons learned from P4P will be critical in the design of the value chain. Through its Smallholder Agribusiness Promotion Program, IFAD is supporting the project implementation reflecting true RBA collaboration.
Mobile Delivery and Trucking
The Mobile Delivery and Tracking (MDT) originally started to roll out the electronic food voucher program known as "Splash" has transitioned to providing specific technical support for Agriculture, Education, Health, and Social Protection programs. The unit supports the Government of Zambia (GRZ) through the Food Reserve Agency, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Community Development Mother and Child Health.
The MDT unit participates in several Mobile Technology (M-Tech) Technical Working Groups with the GRZ, and is a vital member of the Cooperating Partner's group, which includes UNICEF, DFID, and Irish AID, among others
Disaster Risk and Management
Under the Delivery As One WFP has continued to be technical lead in DRR related activities. Through the Capabilities Partnership Programme (CAPRO) WFP provides technical support and capacity building to the DMMU on strengthening disaster preparedness capacities at sub national levels done through comprehensive hazard identification and analysis, early warning which also includes risk and vulnerability analysis as support to bigger national disaster response planning. In addition WFP also Provides technical and financial support in designing and implementing a Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment and Analysis (CVAA) which contains comprehensive hazards profiling on the basis upon which the resilience building activities are based on

In a recent pubic opinion poll of 1,0000 American adults 74 percent favored an audit of the Federal Reserve and making the results public, but 10 percent opposed an audit and 16 percent said they weren't sure.
Here's what else the poll showed:
The high level of support for an audit of the nation's central bank hasn't changed in regular surveys since July 2009.
Just 34 percent now have at least a somewhat favorable opinion of the Federal Reserve, including 7 percent with a Very Favorable opinion. While 50 percent view the Fed unfavorably, including 21 percent with a Very Unfavorable view.
42 percent of voters held a favorable opinion of the Fed in mid-September, up from a low of 34 percent in October 2011.
38 percent believe the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board has too much power over the economy, a figure that's been easing down from a high of 46 percent in June 2009, while 6 percent think the Fed chairman doesn't have enough power, 31 percent feel the chairman's level of power is about right and 25 percent are not sure.
