It also allows the historical statements of the New Testament concerning the nativity of Jesus to take on a new credibility.
Jed,I will first attest that I am not an expert in the field in which I am posting, and I am relying heavily on sources of men who are considered experts in their field. Being thus, I can only attest to the information I have gathered by reading their books and/or articles on the subject at hand. I'm not sure where you personally stand as far as expertise, but I will assume your credentials and sources impeccable for the sake of the discussion. Ultimately, my goal here is to submit evidence from Luke's side of the issue, and subsequently show that there is varied scholarship on the subject, otherwise the thread itself would run the risk of being decidedly one-sided on the issue. At any rate, I would respond to your posting. Looking at your initial comments on Quirinius and his procurator title, you bring up the valid point that as Martyr identifies Quirinius as procurator, he also refers to the taxation, which Martin makes argument didn't actually occur during his identified oath of loyalty. So who's right? Based on the fact that Martyr is probably using Luke for the premise of his statement (unless some registries existed in his time that we simply don't have access to today), both scholars could technically be correct if we understand Luke's approach to the registration (3/2 BC) and subsequent taxation (AD 6) as associated events. This opinion can be reviewed here:http://books.google.com/books?id=DTErAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA631&lpg=PA631&dq=#v=onepage&q&f=falseLuke mentions the second census in Acts 5:37, and correctly places it as correlating with the revolt led by Judas of Galilee (Josephus mentions this in Book 18, chapter 1 of Antiquities). However, though Luke had an obvious working knowledge of the latter event, we see no distinction in the writings between that and the former. Therefore, it could be understood that in as much as the registration was, by first regard, a call to an oath of loyalty, so too could the subsequent, and even greater, purpose be taxation of subjects, which came to fruition in (AD 6).We see further example of this connection between oath-taking and census in Orosius:"[Augustus] ordered that a census be taken of each province everywhere and that all men be enrolled. ... This is the earliest and most famous public acknowledgment which marked Caesar as the first of all men and the Romans as lords of the world, a published list of all men entered individually.... This first and greatest census was taken, since in this one name of Caesar all the peoples of the great nations took oath, and at the same time, through the participation in the census, were made apart of one society." (Orosius, VI.22 and VII.2.)This "enrollment", or as Luke puts it, "registration" is placed in conjunction with the "oath of loyalty" taken 3/2 BC. So why would Luke mention Quirinius? Possibly because he was charged with administering and overseeing the registration of allegiance in that region of the world. Why is this information important? For the explicit reason that, according to Martin "most Roman census declarations required an oath of allegiance to the emperor." Therefore, to a Roman citizen reading Luke's gospel (Luke wrote his gospel for a Roman audience), to simply say that Caesar Augustus issued a degree that all the world be registered might be a vague statement, but pinpointing Quirinius as administrator would point them to the exact registration Luke was referring to, namely, the "oath of loyalty." This is simply how I understand the issue, you are welcome to disagree.Moving on to Herod's death, I recognize that based on the Beyer article, I could have phrased my response better, again being that the evidence Beyer has amassed concerning Herod's death in relation to his son Philip. I have never seen the information you mentioned from Codex Ambrosianae or the Codex Vaticanus Graecus (can you send me a link with your source?), but if you are correct, then it would seem that either Beyer is wrong, or that there is an issue with the manuscripts not agreeing, the latter case putting a bleak light on the trustworthy nature of the manuscripts.However, even if Beyer is wrong, there is still strong evidence for Herod's death occurring in 1 BC. See Andrew Steinmann on the issue:http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/brill/not/2009/00000051/00000001/art00001(click to view the PDF)Furthermore, Martin makes further arguments concerning the problems with dating Herod's death at 4 BC, with the best, in my opinion, being the problem of the eclipse mentioned by Josephus occurring in 4 BC. I find his argumentation well reasoned and highly plausible. (http://www.askelm.com/star/star012.htm)Furthermore, Beyer also gives reasoning for the claims that the eclipse Josephus refers to was probably not the 4 BC eclipse. He states that the eclipse in 4 BC was a comparatively weak eclipse of very weak magnitude, and without modern optics, not to be considered a memorable event. Though Josephus may have used this eclipse as his reference, it would seem that the higher likelihood would be the 1 BC eclipse, which was a total eclipse, apparently lasting over 200 minutes (this is rare and something to take note of).Ultimately, I find both Martin and Beyer's hypothesis on the eclipse well reasoned and sound.Lastly, to comment on the fact that some of the sources I have procured not agreeing, I think it's appropriate to point out that, with your specific example, Ramsey did not have proper access to the breadth of new archeological records and advanced astronomical data we now possess. This is just a simple fact of archeology and advancement in technology. It shouldn't surprise you in as much as it does not surprise me. The point is this: what new information and evidence has been presented should always be taken into account, but the old should not be neglected simply because it's old, but simply corrected and/or built upon to obtain a better working knowledge of the truth of the situation. Ultimately, as we review the matter, the best possible option would be to invent a time machine to got back in time to get hard facts (if this ever happens, I will get us two of the first tickets, and we'll go back to January of 1 BC to see what really transpired), but being that this is not possible, I am content to say that we must take what we are given, and use what reasoning and rationale we possess to arrive at well-reasoned positions on the matter. That is how I view the situation.
As I stated previously, "Ultimately, my goal here is to submit evidence from Luke's side of the issue, and subsequently show that there is varied scholarship on the subject"
Lunar eclipses are indeed easy to predicte now, with sophisticated astronomical data and and littel thing called the laws of planetary motion (see Kepler and Newton), but during Herod's timeperiod, the calibur of prediction was limited if nil (the Chinese were actually probably the best ancient astronamers).
Yes, a lunar eclipse with a magnitude of 0.37 would still be viewable, but as formerly pointed out, "Astronamers John Mosley of the Griffith Observatory and Craig Chester of the Monterey Institutes for Research in Astronamy indicate it would have been difficult to observe this eclipse, even under ideal circumstances..."
Again, the major case stands that as Josephus could have indeed meant the 4 B.C. eclipse, it is more likely the case that he would have referred to an eclipse that "...dramatically dominated the evening sky, visible to everyone throughout the Middle East" as his reference point, that is, the eclipse from 1 B.C. See also: http://www.askelm.com/star/star011.htm
That was the post of the data presented in relation to the thread; valid information applicable to the topic at hand. I take it you now wish me to comment on "No massacre of the innocents, no "star", no evidence of people dragging their entire families across Palestine, no need for a manger "bed", Joseph and Mary getting a windfall in gold, frankinsense and myrrh, no "flight to egypt", etc." You need to start a new thread; the information I am presenting doesn't cover these topics.
I had never heard of the saros, or that method of predicting eclipses, and thus it would seem that the ancient Babylonians did have a rather good method in place. I wasn't aware that there was a good system in place before the laws of planetary motion were discovered. As previously stated, I am not well verses in this subject, and just as much as I apprieciate being better informed, thanks for thie link.
Now, I am not hinging this arguement, nor the overall arguement, on the predictive capabilities of certain scholars of astronamy from that timeperiod.
The point I am making, hopefully in conjunction with the book, was that to an author writing to a major audience, it seems more likely Josephus is referring to the total lunar eclipse of 1 B.C.
Furthermore, the magnitude of the eclipse, though valid point, is by no means a linchpin arguement, and to treat it as such is a strawman (not saying your doing this, just making the point clear).
As you will see from the link I provided: http://www.askelm.com/star/star011.htm , there are more pressing issues with the date. I'm not attempting to patronize you, but just to be clear, you state in your most recent post "there is little reason to think that Josephus meant the 4 BC eclipse". Now, I agree with this, and being that we are seeming to be on opposite sides of the issue, I am assuming this is not what you meant to say.
If you so strongly desire my reply to the subsequent questions, know that I can only answer within my own capabilities. I am not an astronamer, nor am I a biblical scholar. (I wish I were both) Therefore, before I answer the questions, I would like to do two things. First, I am not assured that this topic is ready to move on to different facets surrounding the birth of Christ. Again, if you would like to pursue this, we would need permission from the active posters in this thread, being that neither of us own this thread. Second, I would leave it up to the other, hopefully more versed, posters to be the first to answer your questions, being that hopefully you will find good answers to your questions from those with a better working knowledge of topic.
If the apologists have compelling evidence, why aren't these claims accepted by historians?
Does anyone mind chopping this up for me? http://www.gods-kingdom-ministries.org/books/secrets/Chapter9.cfm
Finally on February 5, 2 B.C., the Roman Senate awarded Augustus the title of Pater Patriae, "Father of the Country." Augustus Caesar himself wrote about this in his book, Res Getae, paragraph 35, which is quoted on page 19 of the book, Roman Civilization, by Lewis and Reinhold. The Emperor Augustus wrote,"When I held my thirteenth consulship, the senate, the equestrian order, and the entire Roman people gave me the title of "Father of the Country." When the Roman Senate passed this bill, they issued a decree throughout the entire Roman Empire that everyone under the authority of Rome should register their approval of this bill and swear an oath of allegiance to Augustus. This is the enrollment, or registration, mentioned in Luke 2:1, which brought Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born.
Quote from: Snagglefritz on November 09, 2010, 08:38:48 AMBut the same Luke also tells us (in Luke 3:1-23) that John started baptising in 29AD, "in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar," when Jesus was "about thirty" – which means that Jesus was born in about 1BC.The 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar was in the year 27CE...and the phrase "began to be about thirty" is ???? [Hosei], which means "reaching the point of but not yet". Yahshua was in the middle of his 29th year when he was baptised. Counting backwards 29 years this puts his birth year in 3 BCE (remembering that there is no zero year...the birth year IS the 1st year, biblically).Quote from: Snagglefritz on November 09, 2010, 08:38:48 AMBut when we turn to John 8:57 we discover that "The Jews said unto him (Jesus), Thou art not yet fifty years old." It's a fairly vague statement, but surely they've got to be talking about someone over forty (and probably closer to forty-five), in which case Jesus could have been born as early as 15BC. You must remember that there weren't any modern grooming tools back then. A fella would let his beard grow. I starting growing facial hair at 16...and if one lets it grow - uncut - for 13 years, one would have a pretty long beard. Men look older than they really are when they have facial hair. So can you at least entertain the possiblilty that these Pharisees (who did not initially know Yahshua) could only - at best - assume that this man was younger than fifty?
But the same Luke also tells us (in Luke 3:1-23) that John started baptising in 29AD, "in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar," when Jesus was "about thirty" – which means that Jesus was born in about 1BC.

Of course Jesus was baptized by John.But since Jesus never sinned Christians had to come up with a long convoluted reason for his baptism.
Four Gospels. Four different stories.
The truth is, the passage of Matthew is not linked to your Wikipedia article Harod.
Literally, I was a skeptic about everything except my religion... it's like a magic drug you are raised on and never bother to question.
Quote from: Korelan on May 17, 2013, 10:55:53 AMThe truth is, the passage of Matthew is not linked to your Wikipedia article Harod. How do you know that's the one they're talking about? Pretty much everyone, xians included, think the bible is talking about harod the great. Convince me it is Archelaus.

Accents: McKimson separates the previous gag (beating up the dog unwittingly) from the next sequence with an accent. The accent is this big take showing Foghorn realizing that he was smacking the dog.
Posing and animation. These are the most obvious tools of a cartoon director. He tells much of the story through the drawings and animation. The director draws a lot of the key poses himself and then casts the scenes according to which animator he feels is best suited to a particular scene or sequence. He also gives the animator a good idea of what he wants.
Variety: The animator in this scene varies the amount of exaggeration for each action. The run is less exaggerated than the take that happens just before it.
Camera Pan: Foghorn runs in the opposite direction from where he was in the previous scene.
The camera pans with him and pans in another location-the barn.
Timing/pacing: The action pauses and changes pace. After a fast run (4x per step) Foghorn stops in front of a ladder long enough for the ladder to register with us. He looks around frantically.
The inbetweens are extreme smears and Foghorn's poses are far apart as he looks left and right.
Cutting, changing P.O.V: This is a strange choice. For some reason, McKimson decided to give away the punch line. He reveals to us that the dog is waiting for Foghorn with a watermelon. This seems to defy normal gag construction but I never really thought about it until I broke the sequence down to look at it. It's only on for 30 x and within the sequence somehow fits the rhythm. Rhythm is a lot more important to the emotional effect of a film sequence than strict narative logic. You can't write rhythm in words or even on a storyboard. It's the director's job.
ACCENT END OF GAG: The building pace comes to an abrupt stop with the topper gag.
Pacing/contrast: Stop action, slow pace, conclude with calm dialogue.
After the fast paced series of scenes and Foghorn is defeated, McKimson eases us out of the scene with a line of dialogue. "Some days it don't pay to get out of bed." The line isn't funny on its own. It's just there to give us a breather and let us laugh at the end of the sequence.
We still use the term director for various jobs in animation today but it doesn't mean what it used to. Many modern directors are merely timers. After an assembly line of writers, designers, executives and production coordinators take swipes at different ingredients of the animation process, then the director is called in to connect everything in order using preset timing formulas.
In the old days, "Director" meant total control of the creative aspects of the cartoon. What was funny about the sequence above was not merely the gags as written, but how all the elements of the performance: the cutting, the voices, the animation are put together to create the emotional and humorous effect of what is happening.
McKimson uses variety in his timing, animation, exaggeration to build the sequence to a big finish, not merely to tell us the events in order.
Compare this to modern cartoons which hang everything on the limited power of the written (or spoken) words alone. These types of shows don't seem to use direction. There is no personal point of view, nor is there any virtuoso performance. The stories just plod along at an even monotonous pace and one bit of information or gag never seems any more important than the next bit of information. I never know when to laugh when I watch modern cartoons because they are so devoid of pacing or feeling. Everything is timed the same way, the animation never varies. It's about as fun as watching a spoon stir soup. You also can't tell one artist from the next so there is no casting of the strengths of the artists. The voices all drone along in their repetitive digital rhythms, adding to the sedative effect of the robotic assembly line generic cartoon product.
A classic cartoon director is a choreographer. He has a specific set of tools and uses each tool for different purposes. All the creative staff are part of the tool kit. The director needed to understand the special abilities of each artist - including the voice talent, composer, layout artists and sound effects editor. He builds his stories around his specific talents-rather than forcing all the talents into some preconceived rules created for a story bible and production manual.
If each artist has some unique ability that the other artists are not as good at, common sense leads a director to take advantage of all those unique abilities. It makes less sense to me to make each artist lessen his special gifts so that what is left matches each of the other artists. That's what we do in most productions today- sand everyone down into softer blander replicas of each other.
In the 1940s, the directors created their entertainment around the special talents of their crew. If Mel Blanc could do a certain type of delivery, you wrote something to take advantage of it. You used your different animators for different types of scenes. You couldn't have just shipped your storyboard to a foreign land and expected the cartoon to come back with the scenes playing to the strengths of the artists.
Modern animation (meaning animation from the 1960s to now) has an opposite approach to creativity. Rather than using all the tools that are available to whoever is in charge and creating entertainment out of all the ingredients, we have instead made a system that depends on arbitrary preset rules and outright fear of creativity. We have a very limited and blunted toolkit. Modern cartoon makers tend to despise especially the tools that are most natural to cartoonists. The whole process is geared to dehumanizing the medium.

EEE, West Nile not seen in NH yet, but it's earlyBy MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader
and ADAM SWIFT
Sunday News Correspondent
July 20. 2013 9:24PM
What to do …People are encouraged to practice the "Three D's" of mosquito prevention:
Drain: Empty out containers at least once a week. Fill in low-lying areas.
Dress: Wear long sleeves, long pants and light-colored, loose-fitting clothing.
Defend: Properly apply an approved repellent, such as DEET or oil of lemon-eucalyptus.
Source: American Mosquito Control Assn.
Mosquitoes have loved the state's late wet spring and this summer's hot, muggy weather, but none tested by the state so far has shown to be carrying the potentially fatal West Nile or EEE viruses.
"Hot and humid is certainly a good recipe for mosquitoes to thrive in," said Piera Siegert, the state entomologist whose office enforces regulations to curtail the human-assisted spread of insects and diseases that threaten the health of the state's forests and agriculture. "There does seem to be a higher level of mosquitoes."
Results from the first half of July showed the state tested 278 batches of mosquitoes collected from about 35 communities concentrated in the state's southern tier, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services.
"We're getting to that time of year that people do need to be mindful that the diseases are out there in New Hampshire," said Whitney Howe, vectorborn disease surveillance coordinator for the state Division of Public Health Services.
And only the females are tested, since they are the only gender that sucks blood from humans.
Howe wasn't surprised by the lack of positive test results.
"Historically, in New Hampshire, there really haven't been positive results until the middle or end of July, which is why we begin our testing for mosquitoes on July 1," she said.
Last year's testing of 4,716 batches of mosquitoes yielded 41 positive results for West Nile and nine for EEE. Of 37 humans tested, one person from Manchester tested positive for West Nile.
Problems likely
Sarah MacGregor, president of Dragon Mosquito Control, which provides mosquito testing and spraying services to communities, including Derry, Plaistow and Salem, said early indicators and a wet early summer are pointing toward potential problems.
"I'm seeing alarming combinations of species in our light traps," she said. High levels of those species are associated with EEE.
"It's no surprise given the non-stop rainfall in June and now in July," MacGregor said.
"It's going to be a buggy summer. I wouldn't be surprised to see EEE early this season."
Last year, Manchester saw its first positive result for West Nile come from a batch of mosquitoes collected July 19, "probably the earliest we had seen it," said Philip J. Alexakos, chief of environmental health and emergency preparedness for the Manchester Health Department.
So far, so good
This month, all 52 mosquito batches tested came back negative, he said.
The city collects samples four nights a week at three locations, with two traps at each location.
Those locations are not disclosed publicly because of past vandalism.
"The first pools were collected on the 8th of July, and the ones that have been tested go through the 11th," he said.
Last year, the city submitted 700 mosquito batches and received 31 positives for West Nile and one positive for EEE.
Live mosquitoes are collected. "We basically freeze them in a dry ice cooler, kill them and sort by specific (species)," he said.
The city hired Dragon Mosquito to spray once last year, in August.
"When we spray, we only spray city-owned parks, playgrounds and athletic fields. We do not do road-based spraying," said Public Health Director Tim Soucy.
Last year, positive test results in Derry and surrounding towns led to two rounds of spraying in Derry, predominately at town and school fields and parks. Each round of spraying for the adult mosquitoes costs about $5,000, with about 80 percent of that cost covered by the schools, according to Derry Assistant Town Administrator Larry Budreau.
Funds available
Plaistow budgets $33,000 for the testing program and an additional $6,000 for emergency spraying, said Public Health Director Dennise Horrocks.
Last year, Plaistow did no emergency spraying, and the town didn't have any positive results for EEE or West Nile Virus, she said.
In Salem, the town contracts with Dragon Mosquito for $48,000 a year. According to Health Officer Brian Lockard, spraying to kill mosquito larvae begins in April in wetlands and stagnant water and continues until October.
Portsmouth Health Officer Kim McNamara said the low-lying wetlands of the city are a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. Portsmouth contracts with Municipal Pest Managements Services for its mosquito-control program, with a fiscal year 2014 budget of $114,403.
"(That) includes routine mosquito control for nuisance mosquitoes and readily converts to emergency response for mosquitoes found to carry dangerous viruses, such as EEE and West Nile Virus, when necessary," McNamara said.
Bedford takes a different approach to mosquito issues, according to Deputy Health Officer Gary Pariseau.
"Currently, the town of Bedford does not do testing or spraying for mosquitoes," he said. "We did not do testing and spraying in 2012, either."
Pariseau said the Bedford Health Department is a proponent of personal self-protection.
"Information will be posted at the town athletic fields and common areas, (and is) currently a public service announcement on Bedford Community Television," he said. "In addition, the information is on our town website."

Exeter school party leads to arrestsBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 23. 2013 9:34PM
EXETER - Two students were arrested and another was hospitalized after an incident involving drinking and possibly drug use at an Exeter High School dance Friday night, Exeter police and school Superintendent Michael Morgan confirmed.
Ryan Sullivan, 17, of Hampton and Meghan LaPierre, 17, of East Kingston were each charged with possession of alcohol by a minor, police Sgt. Peter Tilton said. He said five other students were also involved in the incident.
"I do anticipate more arrests being made at a later time," Tilton said. He said not all of the students were from Exeter High.
Morgan said one girl was taken to Exeter Hospital because of the incident, which he said involved alcohol and "possible drug use."
"I would suspect it was either (alcohol or drugs) or both" that the girl used, Morgan said.
Morgan didn't know how many students attended Friday night's "March Madness" dance, but he said Principal Sean Kiley, who is in his first year as principal, shut down the dance about 8:30 p.m. when the behavior involving alcohol was discovered. The dance was scheduled to run from 7 to 10 p.m.
Aside from the alleged drinking, it was "a pretty typical dance," he said. "I would say this is certainly an isolated incident."
All future dances, except for the junior and senior proms, have been canceled indefinitely, Morgan said.
Morgan said parents of the students involved have been notified. He said there were no reports of violent behavior.
Sullivan and LaPierre are scheduled to appear May 6 in Brentwood District Court, Tilton said.

Up and over
John Habib's Track & Field: Clearing hurdles every dayBY JOHN HABIB
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 07. 2013 9:38PM
WHEN Jessica Boezeman coached the track and field program at Concord's Rundlett Middle School five years ago, Rebecca Massah caught her attention.
"She was a seventh- grader at the time who wanted to try the hurdles," recalled Boezeman. "Well she tried it, fell over a hurdle and got a track burn on her knee. Instead of staying down, she got right back up and tried it again. That made an immediate impression on me. She showed me she was one tough cookie."
Through hard work and determination, Massah, now a junior at Concord High, is one of the top hurdlers in the state.
Her 15.70 time in the Division I 100-meter hurdles this season is second only to Bishop Guertin's senior standout, Betsy Garnick (14.20). Massah is rated sixth in the 300 meters in Division I with a 49.60 time.
Boezeman credits James Klobucar, a former All-American (outdoor 110 hurdles) from Cornell University and track coach at Concord. He took Massah under his wing when she entered high school. "When I took over the Concord program as the head coach, Rebecca was a freshman and she just improved steadily under coach Klobucar," said Boezman.
Athletes in the 100- or 300-meter hurdles, said Boezeman, need to take no more than three steps between hurdles.
"You lose time if you take four or five steps between jumps," said Boezeman. "Coach Klobucar, who obviously has a lot of experience and knowledge in the hurdles, did a great job teaching Rebecca. She cut a second off her time in the 100 meters from last year and she's hitting all sorts of milestones."
Success for Massah led to confidence. "Rebecca has started believing that she belonged with the top hurdlers," said Boezeman. "Having confidence is half the battle."
Boezeman also praised Garnick for embracing Massah whenever the two compete in meets. "Betsy is an outstanding athlete, but more importantly, a great person. She recognizes what Rebecca has done and Betsy goes out of her way to help and support her."
Massah, according to Boezeman, is starting to get noticed by college coaches.
"Rebecca is starting to hit her goals," said Boezeman. "There's no words to explain how I feel about her. We came through the track program together. She has a special place in my heart."
STARLIN ORTIZ of Londonderry emerged as the only two-time winner at the freshman-sophomore Kiwanis Meet for boys and girls last Saturday in Salem.
Ortiz won the 110-meter hurdles (16.24) and the high jump (6-0), leading the Lancers to a second-place team finish (60.5 points) behind Pinkerton of Derry with 91 points. Manchester Memorial was third with 57 points, ahead of Nashua North with 55 points.
On the boys' side, two freshmen, Saikou Bah of Trinity of Manchester (100 meters, 11.73) and Owen Tracey of Merrimack (long jump 18-11.25) emerged victorious.
The individual sophomore winners were Zakari Jenkins of Nashua North (200 meters, 22.65), Jack Barowski of Bishop Guertin (400 meters, 53.55), Brett Hoerner of Manchester Memorial (800 meters, 2:01.94), Eli Moskowitz of Souhegan of Amherst (1,600 meters, 4:41.00), Abram Gagnon of Manchester Central (3,200 meters, 10:10.14), Ryan Forbes of Portsmouth (300-meter hurdles, 45.02), Tyler Palmer of Manchester Memorial (pole vault, 11-0), Demitri Jackson of Nashua North (triple jump, 40-10.75), Kevin Smith of Nashua South (shot put, 42-0.25), Brenton Dressel of Exeter (discus, 110-3) and Mitchell Herrington of Exeter (javelin, 154-0).
In the girls' meet, the following five freshmen won individual events: Mikayla Hickey of Souhegan (100 meters, 13.33), Hannah Gillis of Souhegan (3,200 meters, 11:45.70), Olivia Rougeau of Milford (high jump, 5-0), Adaeze Okorie of Nashua North (long jump, 15-6.5) and Melanie Lamar of Exeter (discus, 84-4).
The sophomore victors were Taylor Choate of Nashua North (200 meters, 27.47), Rachel Leonard of Exeter (400 meters, 1:00.15), Kristen Tilley of Windham (800 meters, 2:24.09), Shannon Murdock of Exeter (1,600 meters, 5:01.30), Bridget Murphy of Nashua South (100-meter hurdles, 18.10), Ann Sheehy of Winnacunnet of Hampton (300-meter hurdles, 48.50), Kellie Mathewson of Merrimack (pole vault, 9-0), Elizabeth Carroll of Portsmouth (triple jump, 31-6), Britta Gabrielson of Winnacunnet (shot put, 32-5) and Natalie Howes of Londonderry (javelin, 103-0).
Winnacunnet captured the girls' team title with 86.33 points ahead of Merrimack (56), Nashua North (54) and Exeter (51).
The NHIAA announced the Division I Championships will be held at Winnacunnet on Friday, May 24.
On Saturday, May 25, Pelham High will host the Division II Championships and Inter-Lakes of Meredith is the site of the Division III Championships. Merrimack High is hosting its invitational on Thursday.

For Manchester schools, budget pressures buildBy TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 18. 2013 11:41PM
MANCHESTER - Superintendent Thomas Brennan laid out a stark choice for aldermen on Monday: override the tax cap or pass a budget that will lead to larger class sizes next year and risk the mass exodus of students from sending towns.
Brennan was called before the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to present two proposed budgets for the 2014 fiscal year, which begins July 1: a tax cap budget of $155.7 million and a "school approval" budget of $159.5 million.
Several of the aldermen expressed support for the larger spending plan advocated by Brennan, but stopped short of backing an override of the tax cap, which limits the growth in the school district budget to 2.17 percent over last year. An override must be approved by a 10-vote majority of the 14-member board. The larger budget would be a 4.67 percent increase over last year.
Ward 1 Alderman Joyce Craig indicated that the board consider sending surplus funds from this year's budget to the school district, as it did last year. This also resulted in district officials not knowing what they're final budget allocation would be until near the end of the school year, a prospect criticized by Brennan.
"If we have to wait to see how many parking tickets we get - what we're losing is established staff," he said. "We can talk about about this or that... But without an override, I just don't see how it could be done any other way."
Other aldermen expressed skepticism that the tax cap budget, together with a $2.8 million technology bond, wouldn't be sufficient.
"I think we're always talking doom and gloom," said at-large Alderman Joe Kelly Levasseur. "Last year was really tough. I think this is a heck of a lot different. We were talking losing 200 positions. With this tax cap budget we're only talking about losing positions through retirement, so there won't be any layoffs. There won't be any pink-slipping."
Brennan replied, "I don't see it that way."
The $159.5 million budget would allow the district to hire 41 additional teachers, and it would fill the positions of the 23 teachers leaving or retiring this year. The tax cap budget would allow the district to fill nine of those vacancies, with no new teacher hires.
Under Brennan's plan, 19 of the new teachers would be placed in the high schools, 15 in the middle schools and seven in the elementary schools.
Other aldermen questioned the technology bond, which would go toward purchasing 5,000 new computers and tablets, building a WiFi network, training teachers, and upgrading intercom and telephone systems at all schools, which is considered a high-priority security measure.
"We should be fighting our hardest to meet minimum standards for adequate education, as set fourth by the state. That to me is what we should be focused on like a laser," Aldermen Garth Corriveau said.
"What concerns me isn't the merit of the technology bond; it's that we may taking eye off the ball."
Brennan conceded that the district was unlikely to see any short-term savings from the technology investment, and that even long-term savings were questionable. The would bond would be "foundation for the future," he said.
Mayor Gatsas, who has proposed a tax cap budget of $157.5 million similar to the one laid out by Brennan, has expressed more enthusiasm for the technology bond.
"Whatever it does, this board needs to understand that in 2015, the state will be giving its tests on computer. So if you don't do it now, you're going to have to do it then. It's got to be done," Gatsas said.
Figuring prominently in the debate over the budget numbers was the prospect of losing high schools students from the sending towns of Hooksett and Candia.
The school boards in those two towns have taken steps to pull their high school students from the district, largely on the grounds that the state's class size standard of 30 students per teacher is being violated.
Brennan said that if the sending towns did pull their students it would result in a loss of more than $7 million in annual revenue for the district. "This would absolutely lead to higher class size, and it would be across the board, K though 12," he said.
But Gatsas questioned how likely it was that the communities, who have a contract with the district to send their students to city schools for another decade, would be able to remove their students en masse from the district.
"Is there another high school that could take 700 students?" he asked Brennan.
"No, there isn't," Brennan replied.

The Bridge Emergency Shelter could be in line for some extra funds from the city of Cortez.
Earlier this month, Bridge board chairwoman M.B. McAfee gave the Cortez City Council a presentation about the shelter and its financial situation.
City attorney Mike Green, at that meeting, proposed putting a surcharge on police issued citations and increasing the low municipal court costs with the extra funds possibly going to the shelter.
City staff researched the proposal to determine what the costs could be and how money could be generated.
City Manager Shane Hale told the council in Tuesday's work session that he thought the court fees could be increased from $22 to $30 while adding a $5 to $8 surcharge on citations issued by the police department.
In a typical year the Cortez Police Department issues between 1,100 to 1,200 tickets. Hale estimated doing both of these would raise $8,500 to $9,000 that could be given to Bridge.
Hale pointed out that the penalty fees for infractions in the city were generally much less than what the county charges for the same offenses - even if surcharges to citations were added.
Council member Karen Sheek proposed increasing the surcharge to $10 a ticket to generate more funds.
Green said most people will pay the traffic fines without going to court because paying early usually means fewer points on driving records.
He also pointed out that not everyone who receives a citation will pay - some just refuse to pay the ordered amount and others choose jail time over the fine.
Sheek said if the city had to fund the shelter, the amount would be well above what it provides or donates to the shelter every year.
For this action to take place the council would have to adopt an ordinance, which it plans to do at the next meeting in February.
"I think it's great," said council member Matt Keefauver. "It gives them money now."
Council member Bob Archibeque agreed with increasing the surcharge to $10 because of the valuable service the shelter provides for the Cortez area.
"It's a small drop in the bucket," he said. "A lot of people are down on their luck. It's our chance to stand up and help solve the problem."
Hale said funding the shelter makes a lot of sense when considering the bills the hospitals and other agencies would incur if there was no place for the homeless to go to get out of the cold.
"You are saving lives," Green added.

Union Leader Corp. appeals illegal immigrants ruling
By KATHRYN MARCHOCKI
New Hampshire Union Leader
The Union Leader Corp. is bringing to the First Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston its claim that the federal government cannot keep from the public the names and addresses of illegal immigrants arrested in New Hampshire during a 2011 national sweep of criminally convicted unlawful aliens.
The appeal filed Aug. 28 under the Freedom of Information Act seeks to reverse a U.S. District Court for New Hampshire order that said disclosing the names and addresses of the six immigrants who were criminally convicted while illegally in the United States would invade their privacy rights.
The six were among 2,901 illegal immigrants arrested nationwide by agents of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Enforcement division, commonly known as ICE. The Sept. 28, 2011 arrests were part of national sweep called "Operation Cross Check."
"The public's right to know what the government is up to is sacred to our democratic society," attorney Gregory V. Sullivan said in asking the First Circuit Court to order ICE to release the information.
"The convicted criminal aliens at issue in this case have no legitimate privacy interest regarding the disclosure of their names," Sullivan maintained in asking for a new review of the case and oral arguments to be scheduled. Sullivan is an attorney with Malloy & Sullivan law firm in Manchester and Hingham, Mass., and represents the Union Leader Corp.
The Union Leader Corp. publishes the New Hampshire Union Leader, New Hampshire Sunday News and four southern New Hampshire weekly newspapers.
The appeal relies heavily on a similar case, the New York Times Co. & Maria Sacchetti v. U.S. Dep't of Homeland Security, in which the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York found in favor of the New York Times and Sacchetti, a Boston Globe reporter, and ordered ICE to disclose names of convicted criminal aliens released by ICE but not deported.
In ordering ICE to release the names on June 13, the court wrote "any criminal information about the individuals — specifically their arrests, convictions and sentences — is a matter of public record, and information regarding their immigration status is routinely disclosed in those public proceedings as well."
Sullivan said the facts of the Union Leader case "strongly parallel the facts of the New York Times case. All of the information that ICE claims to be potentially stigmatizing is already in the public domain."
The Union Leader Corp. made repeated attempts, both administratively through ICE and the U.S. District Court for New Hampshire, to obtain the names and addresses of the six immigrants since 2011. ICE provided information related to the arrests and convictions of the six individuals, but redacted their names and addresses.
ICE maintained the illegal immigrants' privacy rights outweighed the public interest and were exempt from Freedom of Information Act disclosure. U.S. District Court Judge Paul Barbadoro on April 18 granted ICE's motion for summary judgment.
In asking the First Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse Barbadoro's order, Sullivan argued no one has a "reasonable expectation of privacy regarding a public arrest by the government."
Furthermore, illegal aliens do not even enjoy a "minimal privacy interest" since federal privacy law defines an individual as either a U.S. citizen or alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
"Clearly ... Congress never intended to protect the privacy interests of unlawful aliens," Sullivan maintained.
Any privacy interests also are clearly outweighed by the "significant public interest in shedding light on the activities and performance of ICE and other government agencies" involved in handling convicted criminal aliens, he said.
The Union Leader cannot assess how these governmental agencies handled these six individuals' cases before and after their arrests without obtaining their names, Sullivan said.
"The disclosure of the names of these criminal aliens — which are already in the public domain as part of state court records and immigration proceedings — will shed substantial and necessary light on the performance of ICE and other governmental actors," Sullivan claimed.
One of the six illegal immigrants had deportation orders dating back to Jan. 8, 1988, and was convicted of criminal trespass in 1993. Another was convicted in Texas in 2001 for illegal entry and arrested again in 2005.
"The logical question is: why was he living in New Hampshire in 2011? No fruitful inquiry can reasonably be conducted without that individual's name," Sullivan argued.
In his April 18 order, Judge Barbadoro said the Union Leader failed to argue how releasing the names "would directly reveal anything about the way in which the government is conducting Operation Cross Check."
"In this case, the Union Leader bases its public interest analysis entirely on speculation about what the public might learn," he wrote.
Khaalid H. Walls, spokesman for ICE's New England division, said ICE does not comment on pending litigation.

Katie McQuaid's Scene in Manchester: Synchronized swimmers make it look easyBY KATIE McQUAID
Special to The New Hampshire Union Leader
February 17. 2013 9:09PM
The first introduction I had to synchronized swimming was an old "Saturday Night Live" skit starring Martin Short as a poor swimmer in an orange life vest. The skit, which parodied two men attempting to be the first male synchronized swimming duo in the Olympics, was hilarious. But it's not even close to the real thing.
The real thing is really difficult to do and really cool to watch and you can see it at the YMCA of Greater Manchester Catalinas' annual water show at the Mechanic Street pool on Saturday, March 16.
"I would relate it to running a sprint around the pool, jumping in the water and holding your breath and making it look easy and effortless," said head coach Liana (Cardillo) Thomas. The 2000 West High School graduate said she stumbled onto "synchro" during her freshman year at Wheaton College. She had danced her whole life and was a lifeguard and swimming instructor in high school. She didn't even know her college had a synchronized swim team until she got there, but decided she should give it a try.
After graduation she coached Boston University's synchro team and later came home to Bedford to discover Manchester had started its own team in 2006.
While the national governing body of synchronized swimming does allow boys to compete, the Catalinas team is made up of 21 females, ranging from age 9 to 16. Among them are Manchester residents Zara Hannigan, 11, 12-year-olds Sophie Barber, Riley Cullen, and Rachel Phelan, and 14-year-old Abby Smith.
The water show is in preparation for the team's big meets coming up in April. Top teams from those competitions can go on to regional, zone and national meets.
Team members compete in solos, duets, trios and teams of four to eight swimmers; routines are given technical and artistic scores by the judges. Each swimmer is also judged on individual abilities. I was surprised to find that synchronized swimmers never touch the bottom of the pool. Thomas explained they use a leg move called "egg beater" to keep their heads above water and something called a "hybrid" to keep their legs above water when they are upside down.
Like Short's SNL character, I am not a very strong swimmer. But, while Thomas said strong swimming skills and a background in dance or gymnastics is certainly helpful, anyone interested in joining the Catalinas can start from scratch. They even have a Masters group for older gals like me.
To find out more, contact Thomas at email@example.com. The YMCA of Greater Manchester also offers a beginner class for children and is working on a beginner class for adults as well.
The March 16 water show starts at 1 p.m. It is free and open to the public.
Please find my panda
Still no word from anyone who has seen the "Traveling Panda" painting. I have been given hints that tell me it's at a business that is on a street that starts with the letter "S" in the southeastern part of the city. If you have seen it, please email me at email@example.com.
Battle of the Badges
Kudos to Manchester Police Officers Brian Gannon, Christian Horn, Bob Bellenoit, and especially Dan Doherty for participating in the ChaD Battle of the Badges this year. The Saturday, March 16, game will mark the 6th year that local police and firefighters from around the state have come out to the Verizon Wireless Arena to play some hockey and raise money for the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth. This year is special because the players hope to reach the $1 million fundraising mark, and because this year police and firefighters will be putting their differences aside and playing on the same team.
Using Interstate 93 as a guideline, there will be one team from the eastern part of the Granite State and one from the west. Both will have police and firefighters, but sadly, I hear that no Manchester firefighters even tried out for this year's Battle of the Badges Team. Hey, we can still cheer on our boys in blue.
Doherty was scheduled to play in last year's game, but while he was recovering from life-threatening gunshot wounds he received while on duty, his brother represented him at the game to drop the first puck. According to Nathalie Martinez at ChaD, Doherty is going to be there himself to drop the puck at this year's game and is even hoping to get some ice time. I am so amazed and more than thankful that he has come so far in just a year.
The Manchester officers are part of Team West, which is captained by Manchester Police Lt. Pete Favreau, who is also a ChaD dad.
Tickets are $10, free for children under 10. You can also make a donation on behalf of a particular player or team by visiting www.ChaDHockey.org.

Apology issued for naming of Boston bomber as a victim of gun violence at Concord rallyBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 20. 2013 12:02AM
CONCORD- The organizers of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns campaign on Wednesday apologized for including Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev among a list of shooting victims' names that were read during a demonstration in Concord on Tuesday.
The apology came after several groups, including the New Hampshire Republican Party, blasted the campaign for including his name.
The gun control group put out a statement Wednesday saying rally organizers relied on a list compiled by Slate.com of people killed by guns since the Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., "and his name was on the list."
Tsarnaev was killed April 19 during a gunfight with police in Watertown, Mass., while trying to evade capture following the April 15 bombings.
"Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a murderous terrorist and a cold-blooded killer," NHGOP Chairman Jennifer Horn said in a statement released about two hours before the apology. "It is outrageous that Mayor Bloomberg's gun control group is so radical and out of touch with New Hampshire values that it believes this monster should be labeled as some kind of victim."
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg founded the Mayors Against Illegal Guns campaign, which includes Boston Mayor Thomas Menino as a co-chairman. In New Hampshire, only Dover Mayor Dean Trefethen is a member of the group.
The gun control group's statement said the rally, which began last Friday, features volunteers, survivors of gun violence and family members of those shot and killed reading the names of "victims since the Newtown tragedy to show the very real and personal cost of gun violence, and to help prevent more names from being added to a list that tragically grows longer each day."
Tsarnaev "was absolutely not a victim, his name should have been deleted before the list was provided to a family member for reading and his name should never have been read. It was a mistake, it should not have happened and we sincerely apologize," the statement said.
The campaign was not able to identify who read Tsarnaev's name.
During Tuesday's rally, Daniel Musso, 52, of Brentwood was tasered and arrested.
Musso is shown on several video feeds loudly confronting John Cantin of Manchester, who was telling the group about his support for tighter gun control measures following the shooting death of his daughter, Missy Charbonneau, in 2009.
Musso could not be reached Wednesday for comment.
After Musso walked away, he was confronted by Concord police officers Sgt. Sean Ford, Robert Fallon and Eric Haglund. He is accused of assaulting Fallon - video of the event shows Musso lightly placing his hands on an officer, presumed to be Fallon.
Following a short struggle in which police repeatedly told Musso to put his hands behind his back and telling him not to resist, with Musso saying all the while that he wasn't resisting while keeping his hands in front of him, Haglund tasered Musso and the three officers wrestled him to the ground.
Police Lt. Timothy O'Malley, who provided the names of the officers at the request of the New Hampshire Union Leader, said an investigation into the incident is continuing. He said police plan to review videos and talk to witnesses of the altercations.

How to fit ceiling lights
A standard single pendant light fitting near the centre of the ceiling can sometimes leave a lot to be desired. As long as you can get to the ceiling void from above without too much disruption, it's not complicated to move a light to wherever you really need it. Alternatively, you can boost your light levels by adding extra pendants which you operate either by the existing switch or by a new one. You'll find that pre-wired lampholder-plus-flex combinations are widely available.

Prairie Home boys cruise against Tigers with 58-30 win
The Prairie Home girls basketball team may have been a little shell-shocked after the first half while trailing the Higbee Tigers by 10 at 26-16.
While the Lady Panthers had plenty of chances against Higbee in the first-two periods, they also knew that if they were going to rally back in the second half they would need to shoot better at the foul line and hit those close range shots that they sorely missed in the first half.
As it turned out, the Lady Panthers made good on 10 of 15 shots from the foul line in the second half but more importantly got strong play from senior Kendra Stinson and freshman Makayla Zey, who combined for 24 of the team's 34 points for a 50-46 victory.
As for the Prairie Home boys, they had a little easier game while leading a young Higbee squad from start to finish to win by a score of 58-30.
While the win improved the Lady Panthers record to 6-9 overall, head coach Linda Scott said the girls worked as a team to win this game.
"I am so proud of these young ladies for keeping their cool and fighting back to win the game," Scott said. "I thought Kendra really took over the game in the third quarter for us. She went 5 for 5 in the third period with three steals and one assist. She also played well on the defensive end and forced a lot of turnovers.
"I hope this game is the beginning of something very special for Kendra for the rest of the season. I also thought the Small sisters had a solid game as well. Krista had a good night on the boards with nine plus and scored the final-two points to put the game away. Alli, meanwhile, had a good game off the bench and was able to score on a good move in the third quarter. Of course Makayla was her usual self with 15 points, 16 rebounds and seven steals. Makayla, Alli and Krista also played hard inside. Because the game was so physical inside I credit them and our team for not fouling out."
Unlike Higbee, who had four players foul out of the game and finish with only three players on the floor.
Nonetheless, the Lady Tigers had Prairie Home on the ropes early while leading 12-8 after first period's end. Of course it didn't help that the Lady Panthers hit on only 2 of 13 shots in the first quarter or that Higbee reeled off eight straight points during a two-minute stretch to go up 12-7.
Although the Lady Tigers led by four after one, they also struggled to hold on to the ball while closing out the first half with 18 turnovers. That alone kept Prairie Home in the ballgame while cutting the lead to two at 18-16 after a basket by sophomore Brooke Emmerich with 2:34 left.
What happened next is anybodys guess as Higbee came back and reeled off eight straight points to lead at the break by a score of 26-16.
The Lady Tigers also found the foul line in the second quarter while hitting on 10 of 14 shots compared to just 2 of 11 for Prairie Home.
Higbee also made good on 12 of 16 shots from the line in the first half while the Lady Panthers struggled to say the least while connecting on only 5 of 15 shots.
Needless to say the game changed somewhat in the third quarter as Prairie Home began to make those close range shots. While outscoring Higbee 22-13 in the third period, the Lady Panthers also cut the lead down to one at 39-38 after a basket by senior Kendra Stinson with 8.5 seconds left.
Stinson also came up big for Prairie Home in the third with 10 of the team's 22 points.
Meanwhile, in the fourth quarter, Prairie Home and Higbee battled back and forth while playing to three ties at 40-40, 42-42 and 44-44. Then, with Higbee's best player fouling out of the ballgame at the 3:20 mark, Prairie Home came back and outscored the Lady Tigers 6-2 for the rest of the game to garner the victory.
The foul line also made a difference for the Lady Panthers in the second half, as they were 10 of 15 while Higbee hit on 8 of 12 shots.
As for the scoring in the game, Stinson finished the game with a double-double with 19 points and 10 steals along with six assists and four rebounds. Makayla Zey also had a double-double with 15 points and 16 rebounds along with seven steals and one assist. Krista Small added five points, nine rebounds and three steals while Katlynn Watson chipped in five points, six assists, four steals and one rebound, Brooke Emmerich with four points, two rebounds and two steals, Ally Small with two points, five rebounds and one steal and Amber Carmichael and Kim Hettinger each with one rebound and one assist.
The Lady Panthers also finished the game hitting 17 of 64 shots from the field for 26.5 percent and 15 of 32 from the foul line for 46.8 percent.
For Higbee, Hope Clark had 12, Alexandria Forrester nine, Marissa Perkins six, Ashley Berendzen with four, Courtney Sinclair with two and M'kenzea Starks with one.
As for the Prairie Home boys, they had little trouble against Higbee while leading 21-8 after first period's end, which included a 8-0 during a two-minute stretch at the 4:36 mark and a 7-2 run over the final two minutes and 21 seconds.
The Panthers also dominated the second period while reeling off seven straight during a two-minute stretch to extend the lead to 18 at 28-10 with 3:07 left.
Prairie Home also outscored Higbee 11-4 in the second to lead by 20 (32-12) at the break.
Of course the second half was a carbon copy of the first-two periods as Prairie Home outscored the Tigers 16-6 in the third to extend the lead to 30 at 48-18. The Panthers also went on runs of 11 and five points during two stretches in the third period.
Meanwhile, with a running clock to start the fourth quarter, head coach Jesse Oswald also substituted freely for the final eight minutes of the ballgame. But even then the Tigers outscored Prairie Home by only two, 12-10.
Prairie Home coach Jesse Oswald said he thought the team played excellent team ball and got a lot of guys involved.
"We had eight of our 10 guys score," Oswald said. "Defensively we really picked up the pressure tonight and aside from a couple of late buckets, we really did a great job of protecting the paint and keeping their offensive players out of it which is something we have been practicing a lot of. It was a great win and got us back over the .500 mark which is something we have been striving to get to."
Senior Trever Huth led a balanced scoring attack for Prairie Home, who improved to 8-7 on the season, with 22 points. Rayce Kendrick, Sam Distler and Klay Holliday each had eight points while Jonathan Brandes added six and Ben Stock, Chance Whitehurse and Kody Utterback each with two.
For Higbee, who dropped to 4-9 on the season, Austin Nelson had 10 while Jacob Beal and Jeremy Kirkendall chipped in six points each.

When a season comes to a close, it's hard not to play the "what-if" game.
Last weekend's state wrestling tournament provided plenty of intrigue for that, and not just for the sport of wrestling. The Spears brothers of Sheldon High in Eugene took care of that.
In an unusual twist for the state tourney, senior Chet Spears earned the heavyweight title at the Class 6A level after receiving a forfeit in the finals from his junior brother, Wyatt. Sophomore Willy Spears, the District 4 regional champion, advanced to the semifinals at 220 pounds, but consecutive losses to the Nos. 1 and 3 seeds "limited" him to fifth place.
Why is this important to southern Oregonians? The brother's father is Harvey Spears, who graduated from South Medford High in 1991 and wrestled and played football for the Panthers. Their mother, Gretchen, was a former standout in volleyball, basketball and softball at South Medford.
The boys, who are also standout linemen in football, built their early lives in Lakeview and Klamath Falls before moving to Cottage Grove and, ultimately, Eugene for their high school days at Sheldon High.
The "what-if" world spins when you ponder what might have been had the Spears family remained rooted in Medford.
"You think about it but it's something that goes on all over the place," said South Medford wrestling head coach Dave Alonzo. "Parents move away and the kids don't always go to the same school as the parents did. You usually don't hear that much about it but maybe because I'm at South now and the level of wrestling the Spears brothers are at right now, it kinda brings it more to your attention."
Chet Spears was last year's 6A state runner-up at heavyweight, or 285 pounds, while Wyatt won USA Wrestling freestyle and Greco-Roman cadet division national titles last summer. Along with Willy, the Spears brothers were part of Sheldon's state championship football team last fall, and Chet has already committed to play football at Western Oregon next season.
Wyatt, whose first love is wrestling, is weighing an offer to spend a year with USA Wrestling at the U.S. Olympic training facility in Colorado Springs, Colo. — the same place ex-Phoenix star Eleazar De Luca has been training this past year — starting in August.
The impact of such top-tier talent in the wrestling room would be immeasurable, according to Alonzo.
"I think just even one guy, much less all three brothers, would make a big difference," said Alonzo. "You get one guy who makes it to the state finals and it kinda increases an excitement that gets other kids out and makes them want to stick it out."
"It's especially big, too, because they play football, and that's something we've had trouble with at South, not getting football players out," he added. "You get one of those guys out like that, who is obviously good at football but wins a state title in wrestling, and others see that and see that it can go hand in hand and that gets other football players out."
Chet Spears weighed in at 350 pounds toward the end of the football season and had to lose nearly 70 pounds to qualify for the 285-pound weight class. Wyatt Spears has the same 6-foot-2 frame but watches what he eats a little more than his older brother, while Willy Spears is on his way to shadow his brothers at 6-foot and 230 during the football season.
"That's three-fifths of your offensive line right there," said Alonzo, who also serves as a freshman football assistant coach.
With the Spears brothers shouldering the load, Sheldon finished 11th with 59 points. That figure was more than North Medford (13th with 48 points) and South Medford (33rd with four points) combined.
Throw the Spears brothers in the Black Tornado lineup, which had two semifinalists in Reid Shipley and Trent Wilson, and North Medford finishes, without any match result changes, fifth. State history, however, has shown that teammates tend to build off each other's success, so who knows how the Spears' winning ways translates to results for the likes of Shipley, Wilson, Austin Mitchell, Kaden Johnson, et. al.
For the record, the decision to have Wyatt forfeit the state championship to older brother Chet was made well before the two stepped on the mat Saturday and capped the heavyweight division with a hug.
The Spears parents, particularly Gretchen, aren't fond of seeing the boys wrestle one another, especially since the last time the older two boys went at it in competition — the boys and their father famously knock heads on a routine basis in the family room — Wyatt broke Chet's arm while trying to throw him. Chet still went on to win the match during a club tournament last summer but reportedly wouldn't talk to his brother for a month.
The boys previously settled another youth tournament championship with an impromptu battle of rock-paper-scissors, with Wyatt walking away with the title on a best-of-three basis.
THE SPEARS BROTHERS notwithstanding, it was also hard to overlook the drought Medford wrestling has had over the years when it comes to individual titles or team trophies.
Crater won seven out of nine team titles from 1998 through 2006 and has secured at least one individual title in seven of the past 10 years, falling short of making it 8-for-10 when Tyler Thomas and Chase Mackey were upended in this year's finals.
Phoenix had a streak of seven straight years of earning at least one individual title, and Izzy Rubio was in the running Saturday night to make it eight straight years before coming up short.
Eagle Point finished among the top two teams over a five-year stretch from 1985-89 under head coach Bob Bergen, winning three state titles, and has routinely been in the trophy hunt under current head coach Kacey McNulty to go with a handful of individual championships.
Since Medford split into two schools in 1986, however, the fortunes at North Medford and South Medford haven't been as good as their peers. North Medford has never crowned an individual champion, and it earned its first team trophy with third place in 2010. South Medford hasn't earned a team trophy but has had three individual champions — for five titles — thanks to Les Gutches (1989-91), Jason Gutches (1994) and Ian Taylor (2000).
"It's kind of a cycle and it's hard to get out of," Alonzo said of Medford's mat issues. "Kids don't really want to do wrestling in Medford because we haven't had success, but you're not ever going to get success if kids don't take a chance and come out or give it a try."
At places like Crater, Eagle Point and Roseburg, the culture of wrestling is more prevalent and that helps lend itself to more excitement surrounding those programs.
"In Medford, wrestling isn't the cool thing to do," added Alonzo, "but in Roseburg, for example, you go to those duals up there and their home section of the stands is packed and all the students are there cheering on their classmates. It's kinda like football is down here you could say. They get 80 to 100 kids out for their wrestling program, and a lot of those kids have been wrestling since they were 4 years old."
Alonzo said that longevity in wrestling, along with the turnover from one family member to another, has been missing in Medford.
"One thing I see there, too, is a lot of parents who used to wrestle for those programs still involved and younger brothers and cousins coming through now and then to keep the cycle going," he said. "I don't know if we have small families here in Medford or what, but it seems like we haven't had a lot of brothers (of wrestlers) coming through."
Alonzo said plenty of work is being done these days to build up the local youth programs — a key factor in Roseburg's success under Steve Lander — but those wrestlers haven't yet made it to the high school level.
North advanced nine wrestlers to state and South four, and Alonzo said another difference he's seen among the wrestlers who place at the state level is their offseason dedication.
"You very rarely see a guy in the state finals who doesn't wrestle in the spring or summer," said Alonzo, whose program included Thomas before he transferred to Crater this year. "I'd say 90 percent of the state placers do some wrestling in the spring and summer. We get a few guys, for instance the ones we had go to state, coming up a little bit and working out in the spring and summer, but that's what it takes if you really want to reach that next level."

«Il gioco è una cosa seria, ricopre un ruolo sempre più cruciale nell'educazione dei più piccoli: serve per imparare a conoscere il mondo e se stessi». A ribadire l'importanza del gioco sono le pedagogiste Elisabetta Rossini ed Elena Urso , titolari dello studio di consulenza pedagogica Rossini Urso .Elisabetta Rossini Elena Urso
Anche la noia è importante Bisogna tuttavia avere alcune accortezze: «Prima di tutto, non si deve eccedere nel voler in continuazione stimolare il bambino per non farlo annoiare. Un eccesso di stimoli produce infatti l'effetto contrario, provocando confusione nel bambino, proprio come accade agli adulti che, dovendo prestare attenzione a più cose diverse, rischiano di non concentrarsi e di non portare bene a termine i propri compiti». Meglio dunque proporre un gioco alla volta, con tempi vuoti nel mezzo: «Il genitore non deve sempre strutturare il momento di gioco: il bambino, per uscire dalla sensazione di noia, sarà portato a immaginare e pensare attività che gli interessano davvero, utilizzando le proprie risorse».non si deve eccedere rischiano di non concentrarsi
Giochi: pochi ma buoni
: «Non riempire la stanza di giocattoli, altrimenti anche in questo caso il rischio è quello di "paralizzare" il bambino, che potrebbe non riuscire a decifrare bene tutto quello che ha intorno». Il consiglio è invece quello di «fare in modo che i bimbi possano raggiungere i
checked slimfit trousers Blue Biagio Santaniello siiUVPM0v
in totale autonomia . Se ancora non camminano, lasciate sul tappeto due o tre giochi a portata di mano, vicini: in questo modo, il piccolo con un po' di sforzo e impegno potrà raggiungere da solo il suo gioco. I giochi più utili sono quelli semplici e poco strutturati , che il bambino può reinventare in base alle sue necessità e alla sua fantasia, come una palla, una macchinina o un pupazzo. Sono ottimi anche oggetti di uso quotidiano che fanno rumore e che non si rompono, ad esempio le pentole da usare insieme alla mamma o al papà in cucina: è preferibile dare al bambino oggetti veri piuttosto che quelli in plastica».

NEW YORK -- Pitching for the Yankees was a childhood dream for Luis Severino , who once counted a cap that bore the interlocking "NY" among his prized possessions. He would take great care to keep the cap pristine, envisioning himself wearing one like it on the mound at Yankee Stadium.
It is a journey that his younger brother, Rafael , is about to embark upon. As Major League Baseball's international signing period opened on Monday, the Yankees signed the 19-year-old to a professional contract. The right-hander will pitch at the team's academy in the Dominican Republic.
"I told him the news. I was excited," Severino said at Yankee Stadium. "Every time somebody in your family has the opportunity to play professional baseball, it's really important in the Dominican."
Severino said Rafael has been working out at the International Prospect League academy in Santo Domingo, and that he throws 88-89 mph with a slider, changeup and sinker. Severino said the repertoire is more advanced than what he had at the same age.
"When I was 19, I was in the Gulf Coast League here [with the Yankees]," Severino said. "I had a fastball and slider. That was it. I didn't throw my changeup. He has all those pitches that he can throw whenever he wants. I think he's going to be really good."
Severino said he and Rafael have worked out together during past offseasons and described him as a "disciplined" worker.
"Yippee. Sign me up for that," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "Definitely good to have another Severino in the mix."
Now that Rafael is in the Yankees' pipeline, Severino believes his brother will take advantage of the training facilities to continue improving.
"He can run for one hour, doesn't get tired," Severino said. "Doesn't have a lot of strength in his arms, doing weights and stuff like that, but when he gets stronger he's going to throw hard. … I don't even know how long it's going to take, but I'm just glad that he's got the opportunity to be somebody."

Voter restrictions: Who will govern us?
June 17. 2013 7:05PM
A national voter ID issue was settled by the Supreme Court on Monday while House and Senate negotiatiors in New Hampshire were supposed to negotiate several voter ID issues here. If you want to understand the outcome of the 2014 and 2016 elections, pay attention to these laws, which will help decide who governs all of us.
The Supreme Court on Monday struck down an Arizona law that required proof of citizenship prior to voting. The court did not rule that such a requirement could not exist. It held merely that Arizona's statute conflicted with the less strict National Voter Registration Act (the Motor Voter law), and as federal law is supreme, the state law essentially was overriden. The majority held that Arizona could petition Washington to allow its citizenship requirement.
A similar issue still causes conflict in New Hampshire. Democrats want state voting and voter registration laws so relaxed that even non-residents can vote and no one will ask them for identification. The state's voter registration law allows people "domiciled" in New Hampshire to vote here, but having a home here does not make one a legal New Hampshire resident. Republicans have tried to tighten the law so that it effectively applies to New Hampshire citizens only.
Republicans also want tighter restrictions on what forms of ID can be accepted at the polls. Democrats resisted photo ID requirements at first, and now they are concentrated on weakening them. These issues are being discussed this week in legislative conference committees.
In these discussions, the left always accuses the right of wanting to "disenfranchise" voters and deny people their rights. The left's tactic of always going on the offensive usually causes the opposition to get defensive and try to explain itself. Too few observers, especially in the media, stop to ask the left, "Why do you want non-citizens (or non-residents) to vote?" If you think this is far-fetched, consider that a proposal to allow illegal aliens to vote in New York City elections has 34 co-sponsors on the city council.
In New Hampshire, legal residents of Michigan or Massachusetts can vote in our state and local elections. If that is OK, then why would it be wrong for a legal resident of Russia or Mexico to vote here? It isn't racist to insist that we, not outsiders, decide who governs us.

The names included on the antebellum Maryland maps are men and women who owned property. They most likely paid a fee to the map-maker to have their names included. Unfortunately, maps with property owners listed only exist for thirteen of Maryland's counties. These maps allow us to place thousands of the more well-off members of Antebellum Maryland society. As property owners in antebellum Maryland, many of those included on the maps were likely to have owned slaves. When possible, the Maryland State Archives performs research to connect the names of slaves with their owners in order to locate enslaved as well as free residents of Antebellum Maryland. These maps provide historians and genealogists with a powerful new tool for research.
