Friday, May 03, 2013 - Wank Party 2013 #03, Part 2
Wank Party 2013 #3 features Walter Uwe, Adam Rupert, David Chudera and Daniel Kutka. In this second part we join the guys As Walter is fucking Daniel and David is fucking Adam. Daniel leans over and kisses Adam as they both take big cocks in their asses. David reaches down and wanks Adam's rock hard cock as he fucks his ass hard and fast. They all change around and Daniel sits his hot ass down on David's cock and rides it. Walter is behind Adam, fucking him hard and David takes Adam's big cock in his mouth. As the fucking continues Daniel wanks himself and kisses Adam. Adam responds by leaning forward and sucking Daniels big cock, with Walter leaning over to kiss Daniel. Walter is so turned on that he really pounds away at Adam's ass, long, deep and very fast strokes. Adam has been fucked real well, but he wants some ass too so they all change again. This time Daniel is on his back with Adam fucking him hard and fast. David gives up his ass too, for Walter to work his hot cock in. Daniel is wanking himself as Adam fucks him and soon shoots a big creamy load all over himself. With Walter fucking his tight ass David wanks himself and shoots a fountain of cum in the air. Walter isn't finished with the fucking though and takes another turn on Adam's. Adam moans loudly as he also shoots his cum and then Walter pulls out and dumps his cream all over David. Having all had a great time and delivered a lot of cum they go back to work.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Gregor Bortel and Mirek Hodbod are two very good looking guys. We brought them together and they really got on very well. We see them enjoying a drink and they begin kissing each other. Then they start to remove their clothes, with each exploring the other's body. Gregor is the first to rid himself of his underwear and stands so that his cock is available for Mirek to suck. As he sucks on Gregor's throbbing cock Mirek wanks himself. Then Gregor goes down on his knees and reaches down to take Mirek's hard dick in his mouth as well. He sucks on that big cock and the, with lips wrapped tight around the head, Mirek starts fucking Gregor's mouth. After enjoying that cock Gregor removes Mirek's underwear and starts to explore his ass, with his tongue and then his finger. He works that hole with his finger and then, holding a leg in the air, slides his big cock deep into Mirek's ass. He really fucks that hot, hairy ass hard and fast, stetching the hole well. Then Gregor sits on the sofa and leans back, so that Mirek can sit right down on his cock. His ass slides over that cock and Mirek begins to ride it. As he rides he leans over and kisses Gregor on the mouth. Then he turns around and sits down on the cock again, working is ass all over it. Riding up and down Mirek wanks himself as well. He wanks faster and faster, breathing heavily, and shoots his cum all over one of Gregor's legs. Then Gregor aims his cock at Mirek's mouth and dumps his cum over the face and in that mouth. Mirek takes the spent cock in his mouth to clean it off before the guys enjoy a final kiss.

Gosh, Almighty, did we ever have a great shoot yesterday. I was there and shot heaps of Backstage video. I like the scene so much I'm going to edit a full length Backstage Episode to publish on the main site. I'll also be publishing some brief clips on the Blog. That shoot gets my AAA credit rating.
On April 30th all over the Czech and Slovak Republics cities, towns and villages presented traditional witch burnings. Back in the old days, we had to travel hundreds of clicks to see a good show. However, courtesy of City Police sponsorship for two years a very good Witch Burning has taken place right in Kampa Park. This year was more spectacular that last year. Hopefully, the presentation will grow each year. I was there with my miracle video camera (no shake) and made my second video for YouTube. Last year I learned a lesson, you can't see nothin' from ground level. This year I employed a trick I pioneered at the annual sex shows in Barcelona: I put the camera on a monopod with a remote control. My camera about two meters higher than the highest head in front of me. I'm very happy with the results.
I've even received one fan letter complimenting my video:
"As for the witch-burning crowd, Moses would be proud: 'Do not allow a witch to live.' (Exodus 22:18)"
Gosh, calm down folks, it's all in fun, (at least nowadays). Don't take it seriously. I'd really fear for the safety of many of my gay friends.
Leading things off today is part 2 of Wank Party 2013 #3. What a great one that is too. Then we have a great erotic video with Brano Kros. A lovely newcomer, Robert Drtina in his session stills and scene 1 of a fully remastered Inside Jirka Gregor.
We have a great set of castees today, Robin Borec, Jozka Uzel and Oliver Bes. All three look very good to me, but the clear choice today is Robin Berec.

The South Haven Lady-Cardinals enter the State Tournament as the seventh seed, the boys team is the second seed.
Two teams from Sumner County are headed to State basketball tournaments, and both of them are from South Haven.
Lady-Cards defeat Caldwell to advance to State Tourney
The South Haven girls basketball team will play as the seventh seed in the 1A Division I bracket against the second seed, Hoxie today (March 6) at 3 p.m. The Lady-Cardinals are 16-7 on the season, fresh off their Sub-State Championship game where they defeated rival Caldwell. South Haven girls Head Coach, Eric Adams says that game got off to a slow start.
"Both teams came out and played hard defense, which is typical of South Haven and Caldwell this year," Adams said. The game was intense, with some aggressive moments. Caldwell lead 14-12 at the half and that's when Adams issued a challenge to the team.
"At halftime we made a couple of adjustments and demanded a little more of our post play and they did respond," the Coach said. Their reward is a trip to Emporia to take on an undefeated, 23-0 Hoxie team, looking to repeat as State Champs.
"We're going to get on a bus, go up and play," Adams said. "You look at their stats, they're scary. Defending State Champions...they're averaging around 70 points a game, they've scored in the 90's a couple of times." Going up against Hoxie's zone-press defense is something the Lady-Cards will have to be ready for, as well as Hoxie's three-point shooting ability.
"We'll have our hands full," Adams said. "But we're going to go battle. We have a great group of seniors and a great group of girls that play for each other, and play hard." This is Adams' first year as head coach of the Lady-Cardinals, he says he feels very blessed to be a part of this opportunity.
"I told the girls in the locker room after the [Caldwell] game, a big 'thank you' for taking myself and my family in to just have this chance," Adams said. "I walked into a good situation...very blessed."
The winner of the South Haven/Hoxie game will play on Friday at 3 p.m. in Emporia, at White Auditorium.
McDorman, Cardinals ready for second trip to State
The South Haven boys team is making their second appearance in the State Tournament in three years. To do so, they had to beat the team that ended their season last year – the Udall Eagles. Head Coach, Darren McDorman said his team came out and set the tempo on Saturday.
"That championship game, we probably played about as well as we have all year long defensively and offensively," he said. "This is the fourth time we've played them this year...this time we were pretty focused and ready to go." The Cards, 21-2, will travel to Emporia, Kan. on Thursday, March 7 as the second seed in the 1A Div. 1 State Tournament. They will take on the seventh seed, 15-6 Minneola at 3 p.m.
"They've got a lot of height, not just tall and skinny, they're pretty built," McDorman said. "They're a pretty physical team, they do like to get out and run." He expects Minneola's attack to be focused on the inside game.
"We're pretty tall as well, we're 6'2'' across the board...overall I think we match-up pretty well against them," the coach said. "I'm not sure they've seen the kind of defense we like to play this year...I think we can wear them out." Two years ago when the Cardinals went to State, they finished in second place. Having gone through that experience, the team will be better off this go-around.
"This time around I kind of know what to expect, I've got 10 seniors on my team, they were sophomores when we went last time," McDorman said. "We're more experienced now...coming in as a two-seed, we've just got to be ready to play. If we play like we did Saturday night, I feel like we could beat anybody."
The winner of the South Haven/Minneola game will play the winner of the 3/6 match-up, either Hoxie or Stockton on Friday at 4:45 p.m.

Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (US - BD RA)
Yes, Gabe did in fact watch this 3D concert, and yes, he did in fact survive...
Let me just preface this by saying I didn't want to watch Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: The Best of Both Worlds Concert, but I felt an obligation to the folks at Disney to at least give it a whirl (after all, these are the people that decide whether or not I get an advanced Blu-ray copy of Wall-E or Sleeping Beauty). I also can't judge the kids of today and their musical tastes, because mine were even worse at their age (or so at least I'm assuming. Hannah Montana fans are like five to ten right?). The first cassette tape I ever owned was the New Kids on the Block's first album (I think it was ironically called 'Hanging Tough'). In honest comparison Hannah Montana frickin' rocks (though her appearance has put Billy Ray Cyrus back into the public eye, which should count against her).
For starters I'm given a choice between the 2D and 3D version of the film. Well that's hardly even a choice is it? Who wouldn't go with the 3D version? A Nazi, that's who, and I love America far too much to risk a boring 2D viewing of the nation's favourite faux rock star. Needless to say, I went with the American choice. Unfortunately this is the old-school red/blue 3D that will give you a blinding headache in ten minutes flat. I was hoping that the new polarized 3D would work in high definition.
The first shock comes about mere minutes into the film. After a single musical number, we cut to behind the scenes footage…in 3D. Wait, what? I though this was a concert film, now it's a documentary? And I'm watching behind the scenes footage in 3D? Ok, I'll go with it.
I don't think it's working correctly. Oh wait, this part isn't in 3D.
The second shock (of only two shocks) comes when I realize Miley Cyrus is actually singing, not lip-syncing. I thought all pop stars lip-synced in concert. Look at her, she's running all over that stage and still singing in (relative) tune. Sure, I can hear her gasping for breath a bit, but that's still very impressive. She's actually a pretty fantastic showgirl (not that kind of showgirl). She engages the crowd better than half the acts I've ever seen on stage. There's no comparing the music, but Miley Cyrus is a regular James Brown. I'm impressed, especially after just watching the Rolling Stones sleep walk through Shine a Light.
It seems that even in high-definition red/blue 3D doesn't really work. I mean, it kind of works, but the colour is sucked out of everything, leaving a red tint in place, and edges lose a lot of definition, especially when something or someone gets too close to camera (the birds-eye of the drummer tossing his drumstick doesn't work at all). Wide shots taken from the back of the stadium looking back at the stage work the best, displaying some real depth into the set, but things coming out of the set just look like a doubled image. The non-3D stuff, and the 2D version of the film, looks pretty much perfect, because it was all filmed using gigantic, state of the art, high-def cameras and appropriately transferred to disc. The only limitations appear when the lighting is less then ideal, which is almost exclusively during the behind the scenes sequences.
It's concert movie, and listening to this DTS-HD Master Audio track sounded a whole lot like being in a concert (though the extra two channels of the 7.1 mix were lost on me). The sound designers mostly leave things natural, as they'd be heard during the concert (unlike Martin Scorsese, who turned up what ever instrument was centred in frame), but they take a couple of effective liberties, such as a pick scrape that rides right to left in the rear channels. The guitars, drums, and vocals are all expertly mixed, but the bass tends to go missing on many tracks. The LFE track is mostly devoted to the kick drum, which pumps without bleeding or warbling. The screaming fans in the rear channels get a little annoying by the second or third song, but they aren't too high on the track.
First up on the extras menu is one Jonas Brother's song that is much more interesting than the ones that made the film, and one addition Miley Cyrus song. This is followed by a sing along option for every song, which is only available in 2D mode. The rather miniscule extras are completed with a basic EPK masquerading as a behind the scenes featurette. I'm guessing the eleven-minute featurette was made for the Disney channel. It's not worthless, especially not to the little ones that should be watching it. Cyrus is sure to make the behind the scenes experience clear to her fans, and makes the difficulty of the process clear.
I'm not the target audience, but I will say that some of Miley Cyrus' songs were effective power-pop and '80s electronica throwbacks, and surprisingly dark. Some even have a cool Spaghetti Western flavour. It's certainly better music then New Kids on the Block. The Hannah Montana stuff was tolerable, but the Jonas Brothers were terrible. The concert itself is a little too bright and shiny for my taste, but the effort put into the stage show, the musicianship, and Cyrus' generally impressive stage presence was enough to make the experience not entirely unpleasant. Now lets just hope her daddy Billy Ray is a better influence on his kid then Dina Lohan or Lynne Spears, and maybe this kid will make something of genuine value when she grows up and gets all angsty.

Driver who hit tot facing feloniesBy NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent
September 26. 2013 10:03PM
HILLSBOROUGH — Rosalie Rogers was doing everything right when everything went wrong Wednesday afternoon and her son, Cooper, was hit by a car.
According to Rogers' sister, Danielle Levitz, Rogers had just picked up Cooper, 3, from day care on School Street. The two were walking down the sidewalk when a vehicle jumped the curb and sent the boy hurtling through the air.
"He was hit while holding his mother's hand," Levitz said of her nephew.
The driver of the vehicle, Katlynn Hollinsworth, 24, continued driving down the sidewalk briefly before stopping, according to Capt. Ian Donovan of the Hillsborough Police Department. She was arrested at the scene and charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated and first-degree assault, both felonies.
She was arraigned at Goffstown District Court Thursday afternoon; bail was set at $10,000 cash or surety. She has been banned from operating a motor vehicle or contacting the Rogers family.
Donovan said officers on the scene suspected that Hollinsworth was intoxicated by drugs, not alcohol.
"She had some signs of impairment, so we're focusing on the drug aspect," said Donovan. "It's enough that we feel there should be felony charges."
Levitz was working at the elementary school up the street from the day care when she got the call her nephew had been injured. She ran down the street in a panic and saw Cooper on the ground, a sneaker knocked off his foot by the impact.
"He was crying but his eyes were moving to see who was near him," said Levitz. "He just wanted his mother to hold him."
Cooper was taken to Concord Hospital, and then to Children's Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock. Levitz said the boy is recovering steadily and was feeling well enough to play with his iPad Thursday.
"He's such a tough little kid," Levitz said.
Levitz, who was at Hollinsworth's arraignment with other family members, said she hopes people realize that driving while intoxicated has serious repercussions. She said her family wants Hollinsworth to learn that lesson as well.
"Cooper shouldn't suffer the consequences for her bad decisions," Levitz said.
The Hillsboro Moose lodge has started a fund for the Rogers family to help with medical and travel expenses. Donations to the Cooper Rogers Fund can be sent to Hillsboro Moose Lodge 1091, PO Box 333, Hillsboro, NH 03244
A probable cause hearing has not yet been set for Hollinsworth.

If you are struggling to maintain a natural grass lawn, perhaps it is time you consider switching to artificial grass in Flat Rock. You can have artificial grass in your lawn, the balcony or even the decking and gardens. It is a very easy process, especially if you follow the instructions accordingly. You might also want to consider hiring an expert to handle the installation if you feel you might not have the time to do it on your own. Artificial grass actually provides a better alternative for anyone who wants to have a green lawn all through the year without putting in much effort.
As you make plans to install artificial grass in Flat Rock, you need to factor in the cost of maintenance too. A lot of people only consider the purchase cost and the cost of labor. After that, they act surprised when they have to do some more work on their artificial grass to make it stand out. You should hire an expert for this. They will advise you on the ideal cost of maintenance, and the duration between one session and the next. Generally, you need to have them look at the grass once every 2-3 months.
Each year, the number of people who install artificial grass in Flat Rock in their homes grows by 10%-15%. People are struggling to sustain the natural grass, given the weather conditions and the threat of pests and diseases, hence the shift towards artificial grass. Prior to installation, you will spend between $5 and $20 per square foot. However, once you have the grass laid out on your lawn, you won't have to do any maintenance for 15-25 years. Compare this with professionally laid sod, which costs around $50 cents per square foot.
For reference it may be helpful to compare the costs from surrounding towns as well:
They need to get enough information about your project area before they make any decision that will affect the quality of the installation. It is advisable that you measure the area under consideration at least two times before you place an order for your artificial grass. As you place the order, your artificial grass installers in Flat Rock will advise you to allow some room for overhang. This will make it easier to trim the grass with a knife where possible.
For your Flat Rock artificial grass, the base is supposed to be even. Before you begin the installation, make sure that the sub base is flat. A flat base makes it easier to lay out the best surface for your artificial lawn. You might need a compactor plate to help in flattening the sharp sand on the base of the surface before you install artificial grass. Take note that just because the surface base should be flat does not mean that it has to be leveled. For artificial grass, there is nothing wrong with having a slight gradient in some parts of the compound.
In case you want to give your artificial grass installation in Flat Rock an edge or a unique style, you might want to get an expert to help you achieve this. Look at some of the unique designs that they have worked on in the past and use them as a means of determining whether they have what it takes to assist you. Some of the ideas you can work around include adding some railway sleepers for a conventional outlook, using a new against old concept, or adding some outdoor lights to make the grass look good at night.

Polar Plunge again attracts many participants and spectators.
With the air temperature in the upper 20s and the water cold enough to allow ice to form in the river, participants plowed into the Hannibal marina in waves Saturday morning during the third annual Polar Plunge.
A sunny sky and light breeze made conditions bearable for spectators. One couple came from Monroe City just to observe the spectacle, which serves as a money-raiser for Special Olympics.
Plungers came from a wide area. One Culver Stockton College plunger was from St. Louis. Other plungers came from Bowling Green, Columbia, Canton and, of course, Hannibal.
It was not immediately known how much money was raised or if the number of plungers had topped last year's record total of 86.
Look for a recap on this year's plunge in Tuesday's Courier-Post. A photo gallery and video from the event will appear at hannibal.net .

Listening to Lauren Hall talk about cycling is like listening to author/historian Shelby Foote talk about the Siege of Vicksburg accent and all.
And its not because Hall hails from that same stronghold of Mississippi history.
No, Hall shares her passion for cycling like Foote enthusiastically shared his passion for the Civil War word for word.
The U.S. is really stepping up as far as the womens side of cycling is concerned, Hall said in a telephone interview this week from her home in Dolores.
The professional road cyclist, riding for the TIBCO To The Top womens team, said the level of womens racing in the United States has improved significantly over the last four years.
Were all racing in Europe now, said Hall, 33, who first turned pro in 2009. Carmen Small, Kristin McGrath, me ... were all racing in Europe, and we bring that (experience) back here.
That means better female cyclists and better cycling in North America.
Hall, who recently won two U.S. national titles at the track cycling championships in Carson, Calif., was honored in a public reception in Dolores last week when she was presented with her two 2012 stars-and-stripes jerseys as a national champion. She now has three red, white and blue kits to show for her four-year professional cycling career.
I have motivation to be a good role model because of my grandfather, she said after delivering energetic speeches at Dolores High School and Dolores Elementary School.
Halls grandfather was Parker Hall, also known as Bullet, who was an All-American football player at the University of Mississippi. He went on to professional football, playing for the Cleveland Rams and then the very first San Francisco 49ers team. He led the league in passing in 1938 and was named the league MVP in 1939.
My grandfather and my dad ... went to Ole Miss. My two older brothers both went to Ole Miss. And I went to Mississippi State. ... Its southern sports at its best, Hall said.
She said she shared her background with the students in Dolores to show them what can be possible.
You never know what lives you can change, she said.
Hall walked on at Mississippi State and earned a full-ride scholarship in soccer. She thought her sporting career was finished, however, when she graduated.
My brother talked me into a marathon in 2006, she said. After that, I said I wanted to do a triathlon. So I bought my first bike in 2007.
She raced in Mississippi and Louisiana in 2007 and 2008.
With Hall rising to the top of the regional races, her coach discovered Michael Engleman and his Womens Cycling Development Program based in Dolores. The former Fort Lewis College coach encouraged Hall to visit the area.
I came out here, and I rode with Kristin McGrath and with some of the Fort Lewis kids. I just fell in love with the mountains. So here I am now a three-time national champion, said Hall.
Michael knows cycling from the sponsorship side and from the development side. Thats when this all opened up as a profession for me, said Hall, who quit her job in Mississippi and moved to Dolores in 2009. I went full bore into it. I knew I wanted to take this opportunity and make the best of it.

Boiler Girls top Knoxville for first win
HS Softball
Kewanee 8, Knoxville 4
A four-run second inning propelled the Boiler Girls to their first win of the season Wednesday at Northeast Park.
Kewanee put crooked numbers on the board in the opening innings, scoring two in the first and adding four more in the second, to build a 6-2 lead.
The Lady Bullets whittled the deficit to 6-4 after plating a run in the top of the fifth, but the Boiler Girls countered with insurance runs in the bottom of the fifth and sixth.
Meagan Plum extended the lead to 7-4 with an RBI single in the fifth, and Liz Bral drew a bases-loaded walk in the sixth to make it 8-4.
Kewanee sealed the win with some solid defense down the stretch.
With runners at first and second and one out in the fourth, third baseman Keely Lain and shortstop Jenifer Ensley snagged consecutive line drives to stall the Knoxville rally.
The Lady Bullets once again had runners at first and second with one out in the seventh, but Ensley ended the threat by fielding a grounder to short, tagging the base runner and flipping to Sidney Uitermarkt at second base for the game-ending double play.
Paige Reeser earned the win for the Boiler Girls, who open Three Rivers Conference play at home today against Erie-Prophetstown.
Bureau Valley 18, LaMoille-Ohio 1
The Storm made quick work of the visitors Wednesday in Manlius, finishing off the win with 10 runs in the third inning.
Bureau Valley sent 14 batters to the plate in its big third inning.
Offensive leaders for the Storm were Ashley Phillips with two triples, four RBI and three runs; Emily Phillips with three runs; and Brandi DeWaele with a double, two RBI and three runs scored.
Irini Petros earned the win for BV, working three innings and allowing one hit while fanning three.
Tuesday's late results
Galva-Williamsfield 2, Princeville 1
Galva-Williamsfield's Rachel VanDeVelde delivered a two-run double in the seventh inning to lift the Lady Bombers to the road win Tuesday.
Emma Corkill earned the win for G-W, allowing four hits and striking out seven in seven innings of work.
Jordan Kraft took the loss for Princeville.
G-W improves to 2-1 in the Lincoln Trail Conference with the win, and hosts Princeville at Williamsfield today.
United 14, Ridgewood 2
The Red Storm scored eight runs in the first inning to roll to Tuesday's Lincoln Trail Conference win over the Spartans.
United only had six hits in the game, but took advantage of seven Ridgewood errors.
Morgan Green and Samantha Roberts had two hits each for the Spartans, while Roberts and Addison Barman knocked in a run each.
Ashley Collins took the loss for Ridgewood. The Spartans are 0-3 in the LTC.

'Pain-Capable' babies: Whither Kuster, Shea-Porter?EDITORIAL
June 22. 2013 2:41AM
Congratulations to the U.S. House for taking the moral high ground last week in passing legislation to stop the killing of some unborn babies.
The bill has the Orwellian-sounding title: Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. Who could be against protecting such children?
Regrettably, most Democrats are, including New Hampshire's U.S. Reps. Carol Shea-Porter and Annie Kuster.
The two apparently agree with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who said she couldn't (or wouldn't) discuss the morality of dismembering viable unborn babies because it is on "sacred ground," according to a Human Events column.
That is the point with many on the "pro-choice" side of this battle. They are so locked into their view of privacy-over-all ("sacred ground") that no amount of medical evidence compiled since Roe v. Wade will sway them. And neither, apparently, will the horror stories of born-alive babies murdered after botched abortions by the now-convicted Kermit Gosnell of Philadelphia.
Said National Right to Life Committee President Carol Tobias, "The Obama White House, and all but a handful of House Democrats, fought for essentially unlimited abortion in the sixth month or later, despite growing public awareness of the violence perpetrated by late-term abortionists such as Kermit Gosnell and the pain they inflict on unborn babies."
"As a legislator," Tobias noted, "Barack Obama said he would trust abortionists to take good care of any babies born alive - he would trust the Gosnells, in other words. Obama's veto threat harkened back to his opposition to the ban on partial-birth abortion, and his attacks on the Supreme Court for upholding the ban on that brutal method of late abortion."
We know. This is all so unpleasant an issue to consider on a beautiful early summer day. But it is an issue that is literally life and death. When else should it be considered?

South Elm Street ready for growth, Manchester panel saysBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 09. 2013 10:19PM
MANCHESTER — South Elm Street, which has already seen significant development with the opening of a new Market Basket and The Elliot at River's Edge, is now the area of opportunity in Manchester and will likely be transformed in the next five to 10 years.
That was the consensus of a panel discussion at the Greater Manchester Economic Development Summit on Wednesday, titled "Heading South." Two of the region's most prominent developers joined the deputy director of planning and the new executive director of InTown Manchester in painting a promising picture of what they called the Queen City's new frontier.
The tagline for the session might well have been, "Go south, and grow with the city."
With the popular grocery store and new health-care facility serving as bookends for the section of Elm Street in question, the future is bright, according to developer Dick Anagnost, who ought to know. He was involved in both The Elliot and Market Basket projects, and now has work underway at 179 and 200 Elm St.
The Spider-Bite at 179 Elm St. is more than doubling in size to accommodate other businesses owned by the same company, he said, while 200 Elm St., once a nightclub, is being gutted for as-yet-undetermined purposes. The foundation has been poured, and the framing will soon go up for a new state wine and liquor outlet Anagnost is building nearby.
"The portion of our downtown that has the most opportunity is South Elm," Anagnost said. "The parcels down there are bigger, the availability of parking is much better and, above all, the buildings don't hold a lot of historic significance, so their replacement is much easier."
The central section with its preponderance of historic buildings had been developed pretty much to its full potential, he said, while the north section has been fairly well-gentrified.
What's missing in the redevelopment equation is housing, which is where panelist Ron Dupont, president of Red Oak Apartment Homes, hopes to make a difference. His plan for a $10 million, mixed-use project on 1.75 acres spanning several parcels opposite the Market Basket building is the most ambitious proposal in the works. Preliminary plans call for a four-story building with retail or commercial space on the street level, and housing on the second, third and fourth floors, with 100 to 120 apartments or condos.
The demand for housing in the downtown is so great, Dupont said he could fill the units in six months.
"Downtown America is making a comeback," he said. "The only question in Manchester on South Elm is, will we do a good job."
Dupont's project is being held up in a dispute over his request before the Mayor and Board of Aldermen to discontinue several small street sections dividing parcels that need to be combined before construction can begin.
"I have some neighbors who are not happy with me," he said, "but I think we will continue on. We will do our best to get those streets discontinued. We're trying to clean up the deeds so I don't have any title issues after I build a $10 million building."
The most vocal objections have come from George and Phyllis Zioze, who own the building at 359-377 Elm St. In a Sept. 23 letter to the mayor and aldermen, they voiced their continued objection to the discontinuance.
"Simply put, Oak Leaf Homes has proposed discontinuance of public rights to use streets within a block that could be appropriate if it had acquired title to the entire block," wrote attorney Linda C. Connell of the McLane law firm on behalf of the Ziozes. "Oak Leaf Homes has expressed interest in purchasing the Zioze building, but has never made an offer."
Dupont said he would like to hear a starting price from the Ziozes first, adding, "I don't intend to get into a bidding war with myself."
Aldermen toured the site in the summer, but have so far declined to settle the matter by vote, urging both sides to work out an agreement.
The property dispute illustrates the hurdles that persist, even as the lure of South Elm intensifies. "It took 10 to 12 years to get the central core looking like it does today," said Pamela Goucher, deputy director of planning and zoning. "The south won't change overnight."firstname.lastname@example.com

Driver runs stop sign, hits another car and building in Manchester
April 11. 2013 11:02PM
MANCHESTER - A Salmon Street building was damaged Thursday when it was hit by a car, police said.
Ann Mwaliasha, 36, of Manchester, was heading east on Salmon Street about 4:45 p.m. Thursday when she allegedly ran a stop sign and hit a car driven by Samy Daghir, 60, of Manchester, who was heading south on Chestnut Street, police said.
After the impact, Mwaliasha's car went off the road and hit a building at the southeast corner of the intersection, causing "moderate" damage, police said.
Nobody was injured in the crash or when the car hit the building, police said.
Mwaliasha was cited for failure to yield at a stop sign, police said.

The Delaware Division of Public Health recently announced its skin cancer prevention campaign and resources, Sunscreen is your BFF (SPF is your BFF).
The Delaware Division of Public Health recently announced its skin cancer prevention campaign and resources, Sunscreen is your BFF (SPF is your BFF).
Long-term sun exposure, sunbathing, having sunburns, or using tanning beds increases the chance of developing skin cancer. Protection from damaging and dangerous ultraviolet (UV) radiation is important year round.
DPH's Comprehensive Cancer Program is distributing sunscreen, educational materials, and UV light sensitive frisbees at the following events:
6:30 p.m. July 20, The Reminders, a Modern Gospel concert; Trap Pond State Park, Baldcypress Nature Center, 33587 Baldcypress Lane, Laurel.
1 to 3 p.m. Aug. 1, An Afternoon in the Park for women and young children; Brecknock Park, 80 Old Camden Road, Camden.
To prevent skin cancer, DPH recommends the following measures:
- Stay indoors or seek shade when the ultraviolet (UV) rays are most dangerous, between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Regularly use a water-resistant sunscreen with UVA and UVB and a broad spectrum SPF of 15 or higher. Apply sunscreen liberally and reapply it every two hours, or more if swimming or perspiring. Wear sunscreen and cosmetics with a high SPF year-round.
- Wear wide-brimmed hats to cover the head, face, neck and ears; and sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun's UVA and UVB rays. Also wear protective clothing such as long-sleeve shirts and pants.
- Diligently protect children from the sun. Encourage them to play in shaded areas, and apply sunscreen regularly. Don't let them get sunburned.
- Avoid tanning beds, which have been linked to the deadliest form of skin cancer called melanoma. Tanning beds produce UV rays just like the sun.

Six percent turnout at Gilmanton's first SB-2 sessionBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
February 02. 2013 6:28PM
GILMANTON – In its first year using the SB-2 meeting format, the town drew 141 out of 2,506 voters, or 6 percent, to its deliberative session Saturday.

Residents amended several articles in the proposed $3.3 million budget during the five-hour meeting, said Debra A. Cornett, the town clerk and tax collector.

It took three times to amend Article 27, which as proposed asked voters for $44,000 to be deposited in the town's Capital Reserve Ambulance Replacement Fund.

One amendment was proposed that would have reduced that amount to $5,000 but that failed. A second amendment that failed would have eliminated the deposit entirely, Cornett said.

After much discussion, a third amendment was passed that changes the amount to be deposited in the ambulance fund to $22,000.

Also amended was Article 28, which proposed $87,000 to be deposited in the Capital Reserve Fire Engine Fund. Residents chose to change the amount to the budget committee's recommended $85,000. The selectmen had not recommended this article.

Residents also sided with the budget committee on Article 32, which would have asked voters for $64,040 to be deposited in the Capital Reserve Highway Equipment Fund. The selectmen did not recommend this article, but the budget committee recommended the amount of $30,000, which was the voter's preference as well.

Voting will take place on March 12 at Gilmanton Academy from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

General Comments: Futures closed higher in New York, and in London. Once again, New York futures could not move decisively below 1800. It seems that demand for White Sugar is good right now and that has supported London for now, but the overall supply of Sugar is big so the support has been limited. Chart trends in London and New York are now mixed. Big supplies of Sugarcane and Raw Sugar keep price trends in check, and the market remains in a sideways trend even though trends are trying to turn up. Brazil said it will increase the ethanol in its gasoline blends in May, and this could help work off a lot of the surplus production in Brazil and could tighten world balance sheets. Production has been strong in Brazil so far this year, and reports say that the new crop production looks to be strong as well, so the diversion into more domestic ethanol use will help. Exports from Brazil continue to be very strong. Chart patterns now show that a rally is possible, with London likely to be the leader in any rally attempt.
Overnight News: Mostly dry weather expected in Brazil. Temperatures should be near to above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed. Support is at 1790, 1770, and 1740 May, and resistance is at 1860, 1875, and 1900 May. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 513.00, 512.00, and 506.00 May, and resistance is at 520.00, 523.00, and 527.00 May.
General Comments: Futures were higher again yesterday on talk of strong export demand. No new deals were confirmed, but talk indicates that the buying was active over the weekend. Ideas of less planted area also supported Cotton futures again, but most of the talk was of the new demand. The current low new crop prices are bringing into question what farmers in Texas and the Delta and Southeast will plant this year. Some are wondering if planted area might be lower this year here in the US due to weak prices against competing crops. The area lost would go mostly to Corn and Soybeans. The plantings intentions report will be released at the end of the month. Texas areas should turn drier for the rest of the week. Delta and Southeast areas will see mostly dry weather.
Overnight News: The Delta and Southeast will see dry conditions. Temperatures will average mostly below normal. Texas will get dry weather. Temperatures will average below normal, but above normal starting Thursday. The USDA spot price is now 80.36 ct/lb. ICE said that certified Cotton stocks are now 0.421 million bales, from 0.405 million yesterday. ICE said that 6 contracts were delivered yesterday and that total deliveries for the month are 1,481 contracts.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are up with objectives of 89.00 May. Support is at 85.20, 84.00, and 83.80 May, with resistance of 87.50, 88.90, and 89.20 May.

Work is underway this week to fill a large sinkhole on the Oak Ridge High School soccer field and school officials are hoping soccer players could be playing on the field again in less than three weeks.
Work is underway this week to fill a large sinkhole on the Oak Ridge High School soccer field and school officials are hoping soccer players could be playing on the field again in less than three weeks.
Until then, the soccer team can play on Blankenship Field.
Blount Excavating is currently working to fix the sinkhole. A geotextile fabric has been installed and on Tuesday morning Blount Excavating was filling the bottom of the hole with three layers of rock — riprap, followed by two layers of smaller rocks. Then clay and topsoil was to be added, followed by sod, according to Allen Thacker, the school system's supervisor of maintenance and operations.
Thacker told the Oak Ridge Board of Education at its Monday night meeting that he expects the sod to be put down Friday or Monday and if the sod takes root, he hopes the players will be back on the field in 10 to 14 days.
School Board members told Interim School Superintendent Robert Smallridge and Thacker to get together to determine the "best estimate" of what the total cost of dealing with this sinkhole will be and ask the Oak Ridge City Council to reimburse the school system. Board member Bob Eby said in the past the school system has had enough money in the budget for such unexpected projects, but Council has told the School Board to instead return to Council and ask for money to pay for emergency projects. Thacker said he'd have better estimates by this Friday.
The sinkhole saga began on April 8, Thacker said, when ORHS Athletics Director Mike Mullins called the system's maintenance and operations department concerning a hole that had opened on the soccer field. During practice, a player had noticed a depression in the field and called the coach over. When the coach probed the depression with his foot, an "an 18-inch opening fell out with a cavern-like space, 360 degrees around the opening, reaching back roughly four to six feet," Thacker stated in the written report to the School Board.
The area was secured for the evening and on April 9, maintenance workers cleared the sod and brought in a backhoe to explore the opening and figure out whether it was a sinkhole caused by groundwater, a void left in the field from debris used as fill during the ORHS construction project years ago, or a leak in the geothermal well field.
Maintenance employees removed 25 to 30 yards of dirt in trying to reach the hole's bottom. When the backhole did all the digging it could do, they found a soft layer of mud that could be probed another three feet or more. The hole was then five feet across and the depth was six feet or more, Thacker stated.
On April 10, the heating-ventilation, air-conditioning water treatment service employees were contacted to verify that the geothermal loop wasn't compromised and causing a water leakage. After confirming it wasn't, GEOServices was contacted for advice and company employees came to do site inspection April 11, later determining it was a sinkhole. Drilling was done that day.
Test samples were analyzed and an April 18 report stated bedrock was found to be at a depth of nearly 12 feet with groundwater at eight feet and five feet of standing water was in the hole.
Blount Excavating was recommended because of the company's experience with sinkholes and because it had been the subcontractor that did the main excavation work during the ORHS construction/renovation work. Because of the weather, Blount Excavating didn't start the work until Monday. The company gave a "time and materials" quote of $38,600, according to Thacker's report.
Board member Angi Agle asked whether the water could be coming from a city source, such a pipeline, that wasn't closed off during the construction process at the high school years before. Thacker said the water had been tested and there is "no indication that this is anything but groundwater."

No change in Gsta2 mRNA was detected with the onset of diabetes or hyperinsulinemia. No differences between males and females were found for all of the GST isoforms studied. A fat-enriched diet seemed to cause some down-regulation for Gsta2 (males only).Other languages...

Manchester man accused in Elliot attack released from custody
By TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
Fern Ornelas
Man who suffered broken neck after arrest for hospital attack ordered released 'forthwith'
AG investigates how man seeking psychiatric care came to be paralyzed while in custody
No answers given for broken neck after Elliot Hospital incident
Patient's broken neck a mystery after Elliot Hospital fracas, arrest
MANCHESTER - Fern Ornelas, who is accused of attacking a security guard at Elliot Hospital but who somehow suffered a broken neck in the hours after the alleged attack, was released from police custody today after agreeing to waive arraignment proceedings, according to paperwork filed in Manchester Circuit Court.
Meanwhile, Hillsborough County Attorney Patricia LaFrance has joined the state Attorney General's Office in investigating the circumstances of Ornelas' ordeal.
"At this time, we are aware of an assault which took place at the Elliot Hospital," LaFrance said Friday in a press release.
Ornelas' attorney, Andrew Winters of Concord, filed an agreement that was accepted by the Manchester Circuit Court today that calls for Ornelas to be released on $15,000 personal recognizance bail - which means Ornelas does not have to pay bail or post a bond to be released, but would face a $15,000 fine should he not show up for court proceedings - "forthwith" and that he will sign paperwork after being released from a Boston hospital. The agreement was signed by Winters and Manchester police Capt. Robert Cunha.
Ornelas allegedly attacked Lawrence Bolduc on the night of Oct. 16 while Ornelas was a patient in the Elliot secure psychiatric evaluation unit waiting for a bed to open at New Hampshire Hospital, the state's acute psychiatric hospital.
As part of the agreement filed today, Ornelas must stay at least 100 yards away from Bolduc.
Bolduc and Ornelas were treated in the emergency room for "significant" facial injuries. Ornelas then was "medically cleared" and released to the custody of Manchester police, according to police and hospital accounts. Police said Ornelas arrived at headquarters about 11 p.m. for booking, which was uneventful. Police said he refused the services of a bail commissioner, so no bail was set for him when he was taken to Valley Street jail about midnight Oct. 17.
About nine hours later, Ornelas was back in the Elliot Hospital emergency room in serious condition with a broken neck. He was later taken to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston for treatment.
Family members have said they have received no word on how Ornelas was injured. Manchester police have said nothing "inappropriate" occurred when Ornelas was in booking.
LaFrance's press release on Friday shed no new light on what may have happened.
"We know that at some point Mr. Ornelas was transported back to Elliot Hospital in serious condition. He was then transported to an out of state hospital with serious injuries," she said in the release.

Danville chief's lawyer files to dismiss negligent firearms charge
By Jason Schreiber
Union Leader Correspondent
— The lawyer for Danville Police Chief Wade Parsons is asking a judge to dismiss a charge accusing the chief of failing to secure a handgun used by a teenager in a suicide last year.
Alan Cronheim has filed a motion in the Salem Circuit Court seeking to toss the negligent storage of a firearm charge filed in the wake of 15-year-old Jacob Carver's death inside the chief's Danville home on March 11, 2013.
According to court documents, Parsons admitted that his loaded Glock-22 .40-caliber handgun was in his duty belt that was left sitting on a duffel bag and covered with clothing inside a closet on the night of the suicide.
Authorities said Carver used the handgun issued to Parsons by the Danville Police Department and shot himself while he was alone inside the house; Carver was the son of the chief's girlfriend.
Cronheim, an attorney for Sisti Law Offices, argues the state law used to bring the violation-level offense doesn't apply in this case because the death resulted from a suicide.
Under the law, RSA 650-C:1, a person can be charged if a child gains access to a loaded firearm and the firearm is "negligently or recklessly discharged."
In this case, Cronheim maintains that law can't be used because the state Medical Examiner's Office ruled Carver's death a suicide following an autopsy.
The handgun in question was "intentionally discharged" and "not discharged negligently or recklessly," Cronheim wrote in his motion to dismiss.
The Legislature, in writing the law, "declined to have the statute applied to circumstances where a child obtains a firearm and chooses to knowingly or purposely discharge the firearm. In making this determination, the Legislature reasonably and understandably defined the statute so as to avoid penalizing an individual for a circumstance where a child chooses to knowingly or purposely discharge a firearm in a circumstance where the owner of the firearm has not given permission to the child to use the weapon," the motion said.
In reviewing the legislative history, Cronheim maintains that those who supported the law overwhelmingly focused on accidents involving firearms.
"While some supporters of the legislation referenced suicide, there is an absence of discussion by them of the statutory terms included in the legislation," he wrote.
Salem Circuit Court Judge Michael Sullivan is now deciding whether the case can move forward based on the language of law.
Parsons has remained on the job despite the case and has received the support of selectmen, who insisted that Parsons shouldn't be held responsible for Carver's death.
Assistant Rockingham County Attorney Terri Harrington, who's prosecuting the case, could not be reached for comment Friday on the motion to dismiss the case. She has until Feb. 3 to file a written response to the motion. A hearing is expected to be held Feb. 24.

WISHLIST: Paul Smith Pyjamas
"Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." If good old Coco Chanel was right (which really isn't a question) then there is really no reason to feel as guilty as I do about desiring these pricey PJs from Paul Smith. Prepare yourself now for some major alliteration.
Trends: Watch and Wear- Fashion's Pick 'n' Mix
Since the beginning of time, life, and our own existence- man has been fascinated in choice. From peace protests to monumental civil rights movements, we have always had a taste for the mish-mash aspect of life. This obsession with accessibility has been translated onto this season's catwalks.
Dramatic Celebrity T-Shirts from Topman
Recently, my colleague Jason posted on t-shirts from Raw Power that featured celebrities with painted faces and mug-shot style profiles. Now, Topman has picked up on the look and began creating copies for prices more attractive to shoppers.

My Theory- The Future of Short Shorts
"You were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday, it seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane. What is it about you that has commandeered my brain? Maybe it's your…" Kimya Dawson's brilliant lyrics ring through my head as I realise that it appears I have nothing better to do on a Saturday night than listen to the Juno soundtrack (heads up my friends,) and appear pensive and philosophical while typing away at my laptop. That is until you know what is causing me so much mental frustration- I am deciding upon my 'theory' (as labelled by Jason and furthered by Isabelle) regarding the devious short shorts trend.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina woman pleaded guilty Monday to killing her 15-month-old niece in a case in which social workers are accused of ignoring, then covering up the child's abuse until after her death.
Ladybird Powell, 39, of Bryson City, appeared in Swain County Superior Court, where she pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, extortion, possession of drug paraphernalia and two counts of felony child abuse.
Judge James Downs sentenced Powell to 12 years in prison.
She was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in January 2012 — one year after Aubrey Littlejohn's death.
Powell had begun taking care of Aubrey shortly before the toddler's mother, Jasmine Littlejohn, reported to jail in April 2010 to await trial in a marijuana-trafficking case. Littlejohn was in jail when her daughter died.
The plea is the latest development in a case that has stunned and polarized western North Carolina and sparked anger in the Native American community.
Aubrey was a member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, some of whom say the Swain County Department of Social Services did not do enough to protect Aubrey and other Native American children. Part of the Cherokees' sprawling reservation lies in Swain County.
Two Swain County social service workers have been charged with falsifying records and indicted on obstruction of justice charges in Aubrey's death. The DSS director at the time of the girl's death was fired for what county officials said were unrelated reasons.
Before Powell's arrest, an Associated Press investigation found that police and social workers had been aware of reports that Aubrey was being mistreated while she was staying with the woman.
David Wijewickrama, a lawyer representing Aubrey's estate, called Monday's events "a step, an important one, in the journey of justice for the Littlejohn family." He has filed two lawsuits in connection with her death, at least one of which names the county DSS as a defendant along seven current and former social workers.
Wijewickrama thanked private detective Daniel Cheatham, who looked into the girl's death, as well as Cherokee Principal Chief Michell Hicks, for demanding an investigation and.
Wijewickrama said the next step will be to "bring justice to those employees of Swain County's Department of Social Services, who may have contributed to her death and were involved in the shameless cover up of their own failures to protect this loving and innocent child from abuse."
DSS officials said they're prohibited from commenting on the case.
During Monday's court hearing, Littlejohn cried as she listened to prosecutors discuss details of the case — including how Powell had snapped and broke the little girl's arm. Later, Littlejohn addressed the court: "I miss Aubrey every day," she said.
Members of Littlejohn's family, led by great-aunt Ruth McCoy, had repeatedly pushed for justice in the case along with the little girl's mother.
They say they complained repeatedly to DSS that Aubrey had bruises while she was staying with Powell, but that social workers ignored their pleas.
In one instance, McCoy, a realty officer for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, said she told authorities that she was worried about Aubrey and the toddler's cousin, an 11-year-old boy also living with Powell.
McCoy accompanied sheriff's deputies and social workers to Powell's home the night of Nov. 9, 2010, to investigate a complaint that Aubrey and the 11-year-old boy were in danger and that Powell's trailer had no heat.
They removed the boy, placing him in McCoy's custody, but let Aubrey stay. The heat was off because the power bill wasn't paid.
McCoy told the AP that she begged social workers to take Aubrey that night, but they wouldn't listen.
The girl died Jan. 10, 2011, after Powell rushed her to the emergency room. When Swain County investigators looked into the case, they discovered the agency had at least three reports of neglect or abuse regarding Aubrey.
Investigators later found pages missing from written reports on the case.
Prosecutors say that after Aubrey's death, a social worker ordered a subordinate to falsify records to make it appear that the department had done a thorough job investigating allegations that Aubrey was being abused.

I agree with Chris Barnhouse (Feb. 16).
I live near three beautiful parks here in town. I am tired of calling the police department complaining about the drunks in the park. In fact, I stopped calling and that helps nothing.
However, let me state that I am so very tired of picking up the trash they leave behind. I am so very tired of picking up clothing, bottles of booze, mouthwash, empty food packs and the like. I see others doing the same. I walk my dog early in the mornings, and groups sit at the picnic tables and talk at full volume and use the "f" word over and over in any one sentence they utter.
We have had to call the police at night because drunks were on our lawn yelling at nothing, leaving discarded clothing and all of the things mentioned above and then some, going to be the bathroom outside the buildings because they are locked in winter.
I have called the police to state that people are in the parks on these extremely cold winter mornings wrapped in blankets because they are freezing. I am told that the Bridge Shelter has them leave early and they sit in the park and wait for the Methodist Church to open for lunch three days a week. Sometimes they walk out after lunch and fall face-down in the park. Sometimes they simply fall over in the street.
I am sorry for the hardships they knowingly place themselves in. I am sorry that the reservations do not help since they are from their sovereign lands. But why do we have to live here and see and hear what goes on by our home and in such beautiful parks? Who wants to sit and relax when there's someone passed out on top of a picnic table, urinating against a tree, vomiting on the grass or yelling obscenities.
Why would a tourist stop when they can see these people face down in the grass on a beautiful summer day by the Welcome Center?
Where is their pride? Where is ours?

Following are some of the car rental agencies operating in and around Bethlehem, PA
All Pennsylvania Cities All Pennsylvania Airports
Car rental rates can be more competitive than airline rates! They change frequently because of supply, demand and availability; rates can change by the day, hour and even minute based on these factors. This may result in a great opportunity for savings on your trip.
We provide our customers with the ability to search for great deals on car rentals at Bethlehem and Pennsylvania airport locations. Our partner's user friendly online reservation system will allow visitors to book their car rental reservation with ease.

Some of the Lehigh Valley International Airport, ABE car rental locations offer a free or complimentary shuttle bus to take you to the car rental office where you can step out the door to pick up your car; getting back to the airport is just as easy.
It can be confusing, but be aware that when you are quoted a "base rental car rate" it does not include sales taxes, airport taxes, vehicle leasing fees, rental insurance and coverages..etc. These charges can increase the total price tag by 10-40%. Some airports do not have all these fees but some do. One more thing to watch out is that if you want to pick up a car in one state and drop it off in another state, be prepared to pay a significant drop off fee. The further away the drop off location is from your pickup point, usually the higher the drop off charge will be. It is also important to be aware of the rental policies and restrictions of the different auto rental companies.
Booking your rental reservation ensures you a certain rate. However, it does not guarantee you the reservation of a specific vehicle type. The actual availability of a car model is only certain once you arrive at the airport counter.
When you need a rental car for vacation or business, it's a good idea to consider several factors while reserving to help make your trip more enjoyable. Rates are often a key consideration in the reservation of your car but, there are other factors that are important. For example, what are their hours of operation?, and the availability of emergency road service. It is also important to be aware of the policies and restrictions of the different agencies.
Most of the "major rental agencies" offer unlimited mileage within the same state you rented the car. This policy can vary at each location, within the same company or agency, so it is best to check beforehand. More expensive rentals such as luxury cars, mini vans and suvs are more apt to have limited free mileage policies.

Cod wallop: So long, New England fishermen?EDITORIAL
February 02. 2013 10:52PM
Are New England cod dying off, or have they just moved to colder waters? Though the answer to that question remains in doubt, New England fishermen have been ordered to behave as though the cod are nearly wiped out. Thus, bureaucracy could kill off New England's fishing industry even though it might not be killing off the fish.
Last week, the New England Fishery Management Council cut the cod quota in the Gulf of Maine by 77 percent and off Georges Bank by 61 percent. Some fishermen will be able to fish cod for only a day, or less, this year. The South Coast Today newspaper quoted John Bullard of the National Marine Fisheries Service as saying, simply, "The fish aren't there."
But fishermen say the cod have moved north, and these catch limits will devastate the industry for no good reason. There is scientific evidence to support their claim.
Cod do migrate to colder waters when their native waters warm.
In 2005, Institute of Marine Research scientist Kenneth Drinkwater wrote in the ICES Journal of Marine Science that a temperature increase of 4 degrees celsius would lead to collapse of the cod fishery off Georges Bank and sharp decline in the Gulf of Maine as the cod migrated north. "It is quite clear that, with future warming, there will be a northward migration of cod," he wrote.
In the past year, the temperature in the Gulf of Maine reached record highs. "At some point, (the gulf) is going to be inhospitable to cod. We're getting close to that now," said Jeffrey Runge, biological oceanographer at the University of Maine. In the past four years, the surface temperature in the gulf has risen between 2 and 3.5 degrees fahrenheit a year, more than enough to cause the near-collapse due to migration that Drinkwater predicted in 2005.
The government acts as though the only issue is overfishing. So it does what it always has done: it cuts the quotas. This approach is so inflexible and burdensome that even politicians like Carol Shea-Porter and Jeanne Shaheen, reflexive supporters of empowering government to control industries through the regulatory process, have expressed opposition to it.
Maybe last week's action, which could decimate the New England fishing industry, will finally open the eyes of those who assume that bureaucrats always know, and do, what is best.

State revenue down 13% in February, down $41m for the year so farBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
March 01. 2013 2:42PM
CONCORD – For the second month in a row, state revenues were well below what budget writers believe are necessary to have a balanced budget.
Revenues for January and February are $28 million below estimates.
Although February is a small month for revenues, the state took in $71.1 million, $10.7 million less than budget writers' estimate of $81.8 million.
For the fiscal year to date, revenues are down $41.1 million, or 3.8 percent, although $34 million of the shortfall is from the Medicaid Enhancement Tax hospitals pay for in-patient services. The hospitals and the state disagree over how much is owed.
The most significant shortfall in revenue for February is the telecommunications tax which produced $2.5 million, while estimates were for $6.6 million, a 62 percent decrease. For the year to date, the levy is short $13.2 million.
Lawmakers last year barred the state from taxing Internet access. Department of Revenue Administration Commissioner Kevin Clougherty predicted the change in law would cost the state between $18 million to $19 million.
Business taxes are down $4.4 million, which includes $4.3 million in refunds. For the fiscal year, businesses taxes are $6 million below estimates of $268.6 million.
Refunds of $1.3 million in interest and dividends taxes also impacted revenues for the month.
Tobacco taxes continue to perform below estimates of $15.4 million, returning $13.2 million. The tobacco tax was reduced in the last budget by 10 cents a pack.
Department of Administrative Services Commissioner Linda Hodgdon said the good news for the month are the real estate transfer and rooms and meals taxes, both continue to surpass expectations.

Why you should add Connecticut to your Indie/RTW trip[All content and prices updated July 2013]
The fifth state of the Union and one of the smallest, Connecticut could easily be forgotten - tucked up in the upper right corner of the USA. It also lacks a major metropolis like a Chicago or a Boston, but if you're adding an American Northeast leg to your trip, it's worth a stop. Taking a road trip from New York to Maine? Don't just pass through Connecticut, visit it to see where the elite of New York live. And check out our tips below for why you might want to add a day or two in Connecticut.
- Hike a portion of the famous Appalachian Trail or the vast network known as the "blue trails" - exploring waterfalls and glacial rock formations.
- Interested in the sea-faring past along the coast or visiting the birthplace of Mark Twain?
- There are lots of beaches in Connecticut to keep you busy - try out Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk, Pleasure Beach (great for families) in Bridgeport, and Silver Sands State Park in Milford
- Eat what some call the best pizza in the world in New Haven.
- Visit Southington in the fall for Harvest Festival, which celebrates the many apple orchards in the region.
- Get out on the water by kayaking or white-water rafting.

Like most of the nation, I was — and am — shocked and saddened by the massacre at Newtown, Conn. I am equally shocked that so many people are using that horrible incident to promote their own agendas.
A total of 12,000 people a year are killed by guns, but if you want to address this country's worst killers, guns are the last place we should look.
Alcohol is legal and well regulated. It is also responsible for 75,000 deaths a year. That's six times more than guns, but it's not an issue.
After all, people like drinking. Also, it's incredibly profitable, from the makers to the bars to the state stores to the jackpot made by existing drunken-driving laws.
We can barely complain about that, can we?
Obesity has been a long-standing problem; it kills 300,000 people a year.
Imagine, so much of this country's population dies every year because of overeating. Our response to that is to take it out on the kids.
School lunches are so bland that many students just carry their own lunches now, while the grown-ups lament the loss of the Twinkie and the Ho Ho.
People don't care about obesity because they would have to do something on their own, and that's very unpopular, especially among obese people.
Tobacco still is our number one killer, taking 443,000 people a year. Instead of being made illegal, the cost of cigarettes has been raised through the roof.
That doesn't solve anything, but a way was figured out to make a lot more money.
Americans would be crazy to attack such a cash cow as tobacco, so we don't.

Investigator has 'significant fears' for Abigail's safety
By DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
Volunteers join search for Abby Hernandez
UPDATED: Vigil planned for Abigail Saturday in North Conway
$20k reward offered to help find Abigail; police say she may not have made it home
CONWAY – With another day passed since 15-year-old Abigail Hernandez was last seen, authorities are now publicly expressing worry about what may have happened to her.
"It's now 10 days. We have significant fears about her safety," said Kieran L. Ramsey, an FBI special agent from Boston leading the FBI's side of the investigation.
Authorities still have no evidence to indicate that Hernandez was abducted, Ramsey said, and it's still possible that she is alive and well.
"But every day that goes by gives us more worry, because we have no idea if she is safe."
Search crews combed the woods on the west side of Cranmore Mountain Friday looking for Hernandez, her cell phone, and/or clues to her whereabouts.
Hernandez was last seen on Oct. 9 walking home from school at about 2:30 p.m. near the North-Sound Road, which begins near the high school. Investigators said Hernandez' "previous after-school travel pattern" was to walk that road every day along that route to her home at 86 Village Way.
The last time she was heard from, authorities said, was when friend, identified by family members as Hernandez' boyfriend, Jimmy Campbell, received a text from her at about 2:53 p.m. The text was a heart symbol.
Investigators Wednesday asked area residents and businesses to help find the girl's cell phone, a white iPhone in a pink case, which last made contact with a cell tower on Cranmore Mountain at 3:07 p.m.
Authorities announced a $20,000 reward Thursday for any information leading to the identification of Abigail Hernandez, to an arrest in her case, or for any other information that helps authorities find her.
Ramsey said a large number of tips came in Friday, "and I'd like to think some of those were a result of the reward offer, but we haven't investigated them all yet," Ramsey said.
The $20,000 amount, though, will likely rise, he said. The FBI's maximum reward amount for such cases is $20,000, but several residents have come forward with donations to make it larger. One resident wants to donate $5,000 to the reward amount, he said.
"The amount will likely go up, and we thank the people in the community for being so generous," Ramsey said. "The community has been very helpful to us."
Anyone with information about her disappearance is asked to call the Conway Police Department at 356-5717, or the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL FBI or leave information on line at tips.fbi.gov.

Banghart eyes another trip to the NCAA danceBy KEVIN GRAY
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 24. 2013 12:52AM
As a player at Dartmouth College, Courtney Banghart made two trips to the Division I NCAA Tournament and nearly led the No. 13 Big Green to an upset victory against No. 4 Purdue in 2000. The Souhegan of Amherst graduate had six steals and 20 points before Dartmouth fell short against the defending national champions, losing, 70-66.
Banghart made her next two trips to the Big Dance as an assistant coach at Dartmouth, watching the team lose first-round games to Connecticut and Rutgers.
Today, as Princeton head coach, Banghart and the Tigers returns to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth straight season. The No. 9 Ivy Leaguers (22-6) take on No. 8 Florida State (22-9) in a first-round game in Waco, Texas, at 5:10 p.m. (ESPN2).
Princeton, much like the Harvard men's basketball team, enters the tournament without an NCAA Tournament victory in program history. Harvard stunned No. 3 New Mexico with a 68-62 upset win on Thursday night.
The Princeton women have three previous trips to the NCAAs - all on Banghart's watch. Last season, the Tigers lost a 67-64 battle against Kansas State.
"We are so thrilled to be here. The amount of work and effort that goes into earning a bid like this is something we don't take lightly, and to be back for a fourth straight trip is extra special," said Banghart, whose Souhegan teams won NHIAA state titles in 1995 and 1996. "I think what you'll see is a team that will be giving everything they have and will hopefully play as smart as they do hard. All I can is we are so proud to be represent the Ivy League and represent Princeton, and we'll do our best."
Princeton has enough leadership and star power for a win. Senior captains Niveen Rasheed and Lauren Polansky have led the Tigers to an unprecedented run of four consecutive Ivy League championships. It's not enough to simply reach the NCAA Tournament for this group.
"It's evolved from just being happy to be here," Banghart said after practice at the Ferrell Center in Waco. "Fortunately, we've played in some (big) games this year, and, in the Ivy League, every game is like a playoff game with no conference tournament."
Banghart, in six seasons at Princeton, has posted a 117-56 record.
