Many of the players selected by the Vancouver Whitecaps in Wednesday's Expansion Draft probably held off on packing their bags. However, one player who can start gathering his snow gear is goalkeeper Joe Cannon.
"Having someone like him certainly gives us a player that has proven he's capable on the field, but also has proven that he's a leader," said club President Bob
Lenarduzzi. "That's the kind of player that we're looking for. That was something that went along with the [Jay] DeMerit signing, and a guy like Cannon also offers that leadership that I think we need to continue to add to our squad."
Whitecaps brass were very impressed by his pedigree and felt that he added a dimension that most other players available in the draft could not.
"We're excited about Joe," said Whitecaps FC Director of Soccer Operations Tom Soehn. "One thing you can't emulate is a guy who's been through championships. He's a winner. I've scouted him quite a bit and watched him win games for his team by himself.
This will not be Cannon's first visit to Vancouver. In fact, Lenarduzzi met him 12 years ago during an A-League playoff matchup between his Vancouver 86ers and Cannon's San Diego Flash.
"He actually got red carded in [the first leg] so he wasn't able to play in the return game," remembered Lenarduzzi. "I stood beside him in San Diego and he could not stop talking about the Southsiders [supporters group] and the atmosphere at Swangard [where the 86ers and USL Whitecaps used to play], and the city itself. A long while after the fact he's now coming here."
Despite his three MLS Cup rings and two Goalkeeper of the Year awards, Cannon will have to battle to earn the starting job in net.
"I don't like to pick who is my No. 1," said Head Coach Teitur Thordason. "I want to have three or four goalkeepers in my roster and the best one is going to play."
Soehn echoed those sentiments, insisting that Jay Nolly, last year's USSF-D2 goalkeeper of the year, was very much still in the race.
"No job is given," insisted Soehn. "We're excited with what Jay did last year, but we also want to be competitive at every position. We feel like we've got two guys who are strong characters that will compete for the job, and I think it's a real positive."

All-in-one bars
I stumbled upon this recipe (not technically a recipe, more like a method) yesterday morning and immediately bookmarked it. Little did I know I would make it for dessert that night! Later, I was trying to think up a dessert that would be pretty quick to whip up for dinner at my dads (where I am, visiting), and the conversation went something like this:
Me: What kind of desserts do you guys like here? Cookies? Cakes? Brownies? Pies?
Dad: Something easy.
Me: Square? Round? Bite-size? Nutty? Chocolate? Fruity? Messy? Peanut-buttery?
Dad: Not pie.
Me: How about brownies with cookies in them and chocolate ganache?
Dad: That sounds like something Benjamin (step-brother) would like.
Me: Sold.
Obviously I wasn't going to use Betty Crocker mixes (although I could have, they live in the cabinets here) because I wanted to participate in eating dessert. So I whipped up some brownies, then half of a recipe of chocolate chip cookies, and smashed them together. Woah.
And THEN! When getting ready to make the ganache, I was thinking about these peanut butter chocolate shortbread bars. Wait a second, why don't I make a peanut butter ganache layer? That was a good idea.
All-in-one Bars
I am calling them all-in-one bars because you have your brownies, you have your chocolate chip cookies, and then, on top, the peanutty chocolate bar of ganache.
Brownie Base
From epicurious.com
From epicurious.com
1 1/4 sticks of butter, melted
1 c sugar
3/4 c cocoa powder
1/4 t salt
1 t vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 c flour mix
1/4 t xanthan gum
Preheat oven to 350. Mix together the butter, sugar, cocoa and salt. Beat in the vanilla and eggs, then the flour mix and xanthan gum. Spread in an 8x8 greased pan that's been lined with parchment paper.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Previously posted here, halved
3/4 c flour mix
1/4 t xanthan gum
1/4 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
1/3 c sugar
4 T butter, softened
1 t vanilla
1 egg
1/2-3/4 c chocolate chips (I used minis)
Mix together flour mix, xanthan gum, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Smoosh in butter, then add vanilla and egg. Stir until completely combined, then add chips.
Drop tablespoons of cookie dough onto the brownie batter base. Press down on the tops of the blobs to make them mostly even with the brownie base, or smear them like I did. Bake 35-40 minutes, then cool completely (I cheated and stuck mine in the fridge).
Peanut Butter Ganache
1 c chocolate chips
2 T butter
3/4 c peanut butter
1 T corn syrup
Microwave everything together, 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between. When smooth, spread over the cooled bars and then let cool. We set them out in the snow, you might have more patience than I do. Good for you! Cut into small bars, and share, so you don't eat them all.

This looks sinfully delicious! I cant wait to make it! Thanks for sharing it!ReplyDelete
Those look spectacular! I am like you ... can't wait for cooling usually (hey, maybe that's why I make cookies so much!). I'll just set the pan on our screened porch (our auxiliary refrigerator/freeze during the winter) or in the freezer during hot weather.ReplyDelete

New Yorkers might soon be trading their Big Gulps for kiddie cups.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg plans to outlaw the large-sized sodas and sugary drinks at his city's restaurants, movie theaters, sports arenas, and delis in an effort to combat obesity, reports The New York Times. The proposed ban, which is the latest in a long line of health-based initiatives from the mayor, would bar the sale of sweetened beverages larger than 16 ounces.
Plus: Should Junk Food Be Taxed?
"Obesity is a nationwide problem, and all over the United States, public health officials are wringing their hands saying, 'Oh, this is terrible,'" Bloomberg told The New York Times. "New York City is not about wringing your hands; it's about doing something."
The mayor's proposed portion-control legislation would be the first of its kind in the country, and could take effect as early as next March, if approved by New York's Board of Health.
But not everyone is pushing for the ban's approval. Opponents on Twitter refer to the mayor as "nanny Bloomberg" and "big brother," citing the effort as infringing on consumer rights. Stefan Friedman, a spokesperson for the New York City Beverage Association, called the mayor's initiative as "zealous" and "over the top."
Plus: A Childhood Obesity Nightmare
Others point out oversights of the proposed ban, as it excludes sales at grocery or convenience stores, and would not limit the sale of diet sodas, alcoholic beverages, dairy-based drinks like milkshakes, or fruit juices.
What do you think of the proposed soda ban? Is Bloomberg going too far —or not far enough?

TOKYO (AP) — Japan is relaxing restrictions on U.S. beef imports that had been in place due to fears of mad-cow disease.
The Foreign Ministry announced Monday that Japan and the United States have agreed that imports of beef from cows up to 30 months old will be allowed, up from the current 20-month age limit, effective Feb. 1.
The change matches international standards and applies to beef imports from the U.S., Canada, France and the Netherlands. It is expected to cover 90 percent of beef processed in the U.S.
Japan's Health Ministry had approved the step following public hearings.
Japan banned U.S. beef imports in 2003 after the fatal brain disease was discovered there. In 2005 Japan allowed imports of beef 20 months or younger.

Water main break snarls traffic in downtown ExeterBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
November 06. 2013 5:39PM
EXETER — Crews spent Wednesday working to repair a large water main break on High Street that sent several inches of water flowing toward downtown Exeter.
The break occurred around 6:30 a.m. in the area of 22 High St.
The pipe that burst was buried about six feet under the road, said Robby Souza, systems operator for the town's water and sewer department.
As soon as the break was discovered by nearby residents, Souza said crews arrived and quickly shut off three valves in the area to stop the water flow.
Heavy equipment was brought in to dig up a large section of roadway around the break, which damaged pavement as the water rippled up and flowed down High Street.
Souza said the break was the most significant he has seen, but it was discovered early and caused no significant flooding problems.
The cause of the break wasn't known, but Souza said the pipe could have cracked because of age.
Crews have been replacing sewer lines on Portsmouth Avenue, but no one was working on the project at the time of the break. Souza said it's possible that the Portsmouth Avenue work could have caused pressure changes and affected the water pipe, but it's too early to know.
"It could have been a lot worse. It could have been where the bandstand is," Souza said.
High Street resident Dan Kelly noticed the water break when he looked out his window early Wednesday morning.
"It was bubbling up about three feet and was flowing down both sides of the road. It was a major break," he recalled as he walked his 5-month-old poodle named Teddy.
He said the water was about four to five inches deep as it rushed down High Street toward Great Bridge.
Kelly is one of several High Street residents whose water has been shut off until the repair is made.
Souza said crews were expected to have the pipe fixed and the area backfilled before the end of Wednesday.
The break disrupted traffic for part of the day. Traffic traveling east on High Street was able to pass through the area, but vehicles heading west were detoured around the break.

The new teaser for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1" is out, showing how Katniss Everdeen reluctantly finds herself the symbol of rebellion in the world of Panem, and the target of ruthless President Snow.
The clip for the new film, due out in November, opens with a conversation between former games maker Plutarch Heavensbee (the late Philip Seymour Hoffman) and Julianne Moore's Alma Coin discussing how Katniss (played again by Jennifer Lawrence) is the only person capable of uniting a downtrodden populace terrorized by Donald Sutherland's Snow.
QUIZ: Test your 'Catching Fire' knowledge, Katniss fans
The film arrives as the third installment in the "Hunger Games" franchise, adapted from Suzanne Collins' bestselling post-apocalyptic novels. The movies have been box-office giants, with last year's "Catching Fire" earning more than $854 million worldwide, and they've helped transform Lawrence into an international superstar.
Francis Lawrence (no relation), who directed "Catching Fire," is set to return for the two-part adaptation of the final book in Collins' trilogy. "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2" is set for release in 2015.
Are you looking forward to the next "Hunger Games" film? What do you think of the new trailer? Let us know in the comments section below.

Swing Vote, from Touchstone Pictures, opens tomorrow night. I had an opportunity to preview it a couple weeks ago for purposes of a Power Line review. A smart move, probably, by the producers, who realize that millions of conservatives are skeptical of any Hollywood movie that deals with politics. They got their $8 worth, too: I liked it.
Swing Vote stars Kevin Costner as Bud Johnson, a dissolute, barely-employed, and anything but public-spirited single father whose 5th grade daughter, Molly, is his opposite in intelligence, hygiene, and social consciousness. Molly is intensely interested in the Presidential campaign; Bud is not. They live in a small town in New Mexico. The plot kicks into action when, on election day, Molly arranges to meet her father at a local polling place. He gets drunk and fails to show up; she can't resist sneaking into the polling booth to cast a vote. At the critical moment, however, a power outage nullifies Molly's vote.
The election is a close one and comes down to New Mexico, which is a tie. Except for one vote: the one that Molly tried to cast, unsuccessfully. Since she cast the ballot in the name of her father, whom she had registered to vote–the poll-watcher was asleep–Bud Johnson gets to decide the Presidential election.
It sounds silly, I know, but when you're in the theater it doesn't seem as far-fetched as it sounds. In any event, it's just the premise for what follows: under New Mexico law, Bud Johnson has ten days (or maybe it was two weeks) to cast a valid ballot. Which means that he, the ultimate swing voter, will decide the Presidential election.
So the media and political worlds descend on Johnson's small town in New Mexico. The candidates themselves, Republican Kelsey Grammer and Democrat Dennis Hopper, show up in person. What follows is entertaining and not very offensive to us conservatives. The sitting President, played by Grammer, invites Bud aboard Air Force One. The Democratic challenger, Hopper, invites him to a fabulous party. Richard Petty and Willie Nelson weigh in on behalf of their respective parties. The conclusion is earnest, of course, but, hey, what's wrong with that?
Here is the trailer:
One of the funniest aspects of the movie is the commercials that the parties produce for Johnson's benefit. As they gain inklings of Bud's views on various issues, they produce commercials intended to pander to his prejudices. As it happens, this involves flip-flops on the part of both candidates. The Republican produces a truly hilarious commercial on behalf of gay marriage, while the Democrat, played by Dennis Hopper, produces this attack on illegal immigration:
I saw Swing Vote with my wife and our 11-year-old daughter. We all enjoyed it. There is enough rough language to make the movie inappropriate for most children, but conservatives shouldn't avoid it. If you're hypersensitive, you may note that Molly seems to be a liberal and the idea that the federal government should do something to "help people" underlies much of the film's dialogue. On the other hand, it's obvious that the Republican Kelsey Grammer would clobber the Democrat Dennis Hopper in any election. On balance, it's a fair movie that skewers both parties and lampoons the pandering that goes on in every campaign. The message of civic responsibility is legitimately a neutral one, and nothing for conservatives to avoid.
So: for a fun time with very few annoying moments if you're a conservative, Swing Vote is a good bet. We recommend it.

During Barack Obama's first hundred days, history has provided pundits and politicians with a grab bag of analogies. Obama himself has invoked Abraham Lincoln and put him on a pedestal. I'm not speaking figuratively: a bust of the sixteenth president sits on the same plinth in the Oval Office where Obama's predecessor had displayed a sculpture of Winston Churchill. Obama has also cited Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals, an analysis of Lincoln's complex relationships with leading members of his cabinet, as a model for his own style of presidential leadership. Journalists have compared the youth and idealism of Obama and his supporters to John F. Kennedy's Camelot, and fashionistas have twittered about the dashing Michelle being a latter-day Jackie (with sinewy biceps). Still others have suggested that Obama embodies Reagan's charisma while reclaiming Reaganesque paeans to national greatness for the Democrats. A few wags have tried to burst the bubble of hope by comparing Obama to Jimmy Carter, another Washington outsider and intellectual who promised sweeping change but whose mandate collapsed under the weight of recession, malaise and crisis in the Middle East.
Barack Lincoln. Barack H. Kennedy. Barack Carter. Barack Reagan. None have captured the imagination of editorialists, bloggers and journalists like Barack Delano Roosevelt. A recent New Yorker illustration portrayed the forty-fourth president chin up in the Rooseveltian fashion, exuberant and self-confident, a cigarette holder clenched in his teeth. In this version of history-as-analogy, Obama's fight against the "Great Recession" will restore a faith in government that has been wholly discredited by the disastrous policies of George W. Hoover. Obama's most fervent supporters hope that the president's stimulus package and ambitious budget will launch a "new New Deal" designed to restore confidence in the financial system, curb unemployment, revivify the housing market and rebuild America's decaying highways and schools. The Obama-Roosevelt analogy is compelling–until you remember that history does not repeat itself. It is not cyclical. And it seldom offers easy lessons for the present. Ultimately, the differences between FDR and BHO and their respective eras are as instructive as the similarities.
Each generation has drawn its own lessons from the New Deal. The first wave of New Deal histories were written by unabashed Democrats during the 1950s and early 1960s, when liberalism seemed invincible. The eminent historian and Washington courtier Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. popularized the heroic interpretation of Roosevelt with a triple-decker history in which the New Deal represents the full flowering of an American political tradition of strong executive power and visionary leadership rooted in the Age of Jackson. FDR created the modern American state, offering a pragmatic, humane alternative to the radical individualism and anti-statism that had long hindered the fulfillment of the American promise of equality and opportunity.

A political fish-kill is in the making
Grayling are artifacts from the Pleistocene, little fish of big country with flanks of pink and silver and sail-like dorsal fins trimmed with orange and splashed with red, white, turquoise, green and neon blue.
Fluvial grayling, the race that dwells in rivers, are common in the Arctic and sub-arctic, but in the Rocky Mountain West, they survive in only 4 percent of their historical range, and they're barely hanging on in Montana's Upper Big Hole River system. Should they be allowed to die out? Yes, says the Bush administration. No, says the Endangered Species Act, which requires the federal government to recover "distinct population segments" that persist outside a species' principal range. The law is very clear on this. There is no wiggle room.
Montana's fluvial grayling were petitioned for listing under the act in 1982 and 1991. Both times the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service determined that they did indeed constitute a "distinct population segment."
No legitimate researcher could possibly have concluded otherwise. Montana's fluvial grayling population has been proven to be genetically unique. What's more, it is the only one that exists in rivers collected by the Gulf of Mexico instead of the North Pacific, the Arctic Ocean or Hudson Bay.
So the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service made the segment a "candidate" for listing. That wasn't good enough for the Center for Biological Diversity and the Western Watersheds Project, which sued the agency for clearly violating the law. This action spawned a 2005 settlement in which the Fish and Wildlife Service agreed to make a final determination on listing by April 16, 2007.
Its determination -- not to list -- stunned the scientific community, including the agency's own biologists. In explaining the flip-flop, the Department of Interior laid down smoke like a Navy destroyer, contradicting itself whenever it lapsed into intelligible diction. For example, after citing "clear heritable differences" between fluvial and adfluvial, or lake dwelling, grayling, after referencing a study that demonstrated these differences and after acknowledging that adfluvial grayling cannot survive in rivers, it stated that fluvial grayling "do not differ markedly in genetic characteristics from adfluvial populations."
The determination disgusted and dismayed legitimate fisheries biologists inside and outside the Fish and Wildlife Service. Every agency biologist who worked on grayling had strongly advocated listing. That unanimous determination to list was reversed by Interior's Washington, D.C., office.
One political appointee who loudly and aggressively inserted herself into the process was Julie MacDonald, a civil engineer with no knowledge of or interest in fish and wildlife. On April 30, 2007, she resigned in disgrace after the Inspector General confirmed that she had "been heavily involved with editing, commenting on, and reshaping the Endangered Species Program's scientific reports" and that she "disclosed nonpublic information to private sector sources" which were inconvenienced by and adamantly opposed to the Endangered Species Act.
But the only thing aberrant about this Interior official was that she got caught. At every turn the Bush administration has contravened, circumvented and flouted the Endangered Species Act, and it continues to do so.
By writing off Montana's fluvial grayling, the administration has discarded one of the Endangered Species Act's most efficient tools--"Candidate Conservation Agreement Assurances." This is how it had worked: In exchange for such habitat restoration as fencing cows from the river, installing fish ladders and screens and plugging water diversions, ranchers received a guarantee that they wouldn't be charged with violating the Endangered Species Act if the population segment got listed. "There's no hammer anymore," complains Noah Greenwald of the Center for Biological Diversity.
And Montana Trout Unlimited director Bruce Farling makes this observation: "The recent Fish and Wildlife Service decision indicates that the administration's hatred of the Endangered Species Act is so extreme that it is willing to throw out promising examples of how the law can work for everyone."
It is not just illegal for the federal government to allow fluvial grayling to flicker out in the contiguous states. It's a heist of priceless jewels that belong to the world.
There may be plenty of fluvial grayling in the far north, but Aldo Leopold's observation in A Sand County Almanac applies equally to the West's population segments of this fish and of our great bear: "Relegating grizzlies to Alaska is about like relegating happiness to heaven; one may never get there."

Clinical Exposures: Canine transmissible venereal tumor: The cytologic clues
Jun 01, 2008
A 3-year-old castrated male Labrador retriever with a history of blood dripping from its penis was referred to the Foster Hospital for Small Animals at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. The dog had been adopted from a breed rescue group about six weeks before presentation. Before being acquired by the rescue group, the dog had lived in Texas and Tennessee. Bloody penile discharge had been noted since the adoption, although the new owners reported that it had initially seemed to resolve without any intervention.
Canine transmissible venereal tumor, also called Sticker's sarcoma, is a naturally occurring, horizontally transmitted round cell tumor found in domestic dogs and potentially other canids such as gray wolves and coyotes.1,2 Although there have been reports of this tumor in most parts of the world, a high incidence seems to exist in temperate climates. The tumor is seen most commonly in young, sexually active, intact dogs allowed to roam freely (including stray dogs).1-3 These tumors are usually spread during coitus or other social behaviors such as sniffing and licking.1,2 Thus, the typical locations of these tumors are the external genitalia and the nasal and oral cavities.1-3 Other less common locations include the anal mucosa and the skin and subcutaneous areas.3,4 A recent report of a multicentric, extragenital, cutaneous canine transmissible venereal tumor in a sexually immature 11-month-old virgin female mixed-breed dog suggests that transmissible venereal tumor cells can be inoculated into puppy skin lesions by the mother during social interactions such as grooming and other mothering behavior.4 Transmissible venereal tumor metastasis has been seen involving the lymph nodes, skin, eyes, liver, musculature, abdominal viscera, lungs, and brain.3-5

So I reached the part about adjectives and I am a little confused in the sense I do not get what adjective corresponds to what word.
So Puella est parva is pretty clear you get it. But with attributive adjectives I do not understand which noun is being praised or insulted or you get it.
So Quid filia tua parva portat means What does your little daughter carry?
But I think it could mean Youre little, what does your daughter carry. So is there any way to determine which noun parva is being used for.
Thank you, H.

Goffstown laundry re-opens after yearlong closureBy KATHY REMILLARD
Union Leader Correspondent
November 12. 2012 6:54PM
GOFFSTOWN - After a year out of business, the Monument Laundromat has reopened.
The full-service laundromat opened on Oct. 31, just in time for those without power as a result of Hurricane Sandy.
"The overall response is that people are glad we're open," said owner Tony Crawford. "Every single person who's walked through the doors has had compliments."
Crawford, who began leasing the property at 7 Main St. on Oct. 1, spent the month renovating the space that had been empty since October 2011.
The facility boasts 10 new washing machines, with five more on the way, Crawford said.
The new machines use much less water than some of their counterparts - 11 gallons as opposed to 36 in older models, which Crawford says is a benefit both to the environment and to his customers.
"That saves the customer money, because they save on drying time," he said. "They're the fastest-spinning machines on the market."
For Crawford, keeping things clean isn't a new concept - he is the owner of 11 car washes statewide, including the Circle T chain.
"There are huge similarities between them," he said. "Keeping a clean, well-run facility is the most basic thing to remember."
Crawford describes himself as someone who is always looking for another project, and said he is already looking for another laundromat location.
"I love to build it, get it running and staff it properly," he said.
Robbie Grady, director of Goffstown's Main Street Program, said residents have been awaiting for the Monument's re-opening.
"I think we're all very happy to see this back up and functioning again," she said. "It was very hard to see it close."
Grady said that while she's pleased that locals will have convenient services close by, it's a benefit to the entire downtown area as well.
"Maybe people will swing by Sawyer's and grab a coffee while they're doing their laundry, or head to the Spotted Sheep and pick up yarn, or even stop by the library," she said.
Grady said other additions to the Main Street area in the future include the opening the High Street Farmhouse at the end of the month and a State Farm insurance office after the first of the year.

Some Indian Beverages I Enjoy
Maaza: MANGO! It's almost like pure mango juice, except it's got added sugar and water (and some other crap too!). Still it feels more like juice than soda. It's especially good with a little club soda mixed in.
Limca: The citrusy soda of India. My friend Geraldine first showed me the glory of Limca. I've found it in a few Indian grocers at home, but it's a special treat when I'm here in India. My pal Jane has discovered that you can make Limca even better by slightly diluting it with club soda and adding a generous squeeze of fresh limes. We really go through the limes around here. We will not return home with scurvy.
Appy Fizz: A fizzy appley juice-soda beverage. Kind of like sparkling apple juice, with just a bit more sugar added.
Kinley & Dukes: CLUB SODA. When it is really hot and you have been doing lots of yoga, a little sparkly water really does the soul good. Ever since we discovered that we can recycle our plastic bottles, we have been treating ourselves to club soda (aka "Plain Soda") with increasingly regularity.
Soy Milk!: Last but not least. This is our favorite brand, though it is not easy to find. Here, you can see that we have resorted to buying tiny snack-sized cartons of it. It's good because it's only soy beans and water - no sugar, no "natural flavors," (ick). Every once in a while, if we've already gone out for a big lunch, and we're home from a class late, we'll just have a big bowl of granola with soy milk and baby bananas for dinner. Ahhh... just like home.

New Hampshire Ball Bearings opened in 1946By NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent
February 11. 2014 8:16PM
PETERBOROUGH — New Hampshire Ball Bearings has been a part of the community since 1946, and generations of local residents have helped make the world go round by manufacturing millions of metal balls.
The company, which produces ball bearings used in aerospace, auto racing and medical applications, employs nearly 700 people at its Peterborough facility, and another 800 at its plants in Laconia and Chatsworth, CA.
NHBB was purchased by a Japanese conglomerate called Minebea in 1985, but the company has stayed true to its roots, said Jack Burnett, executive director of the Greater Peterborough Chamber of Commerce.
"It's a really great company, not just because of the number of employees, but because of the quality of their presence in the community," Burnett said. "They have helped us in our educational programs in the schools for decades and decades, even when the ownership changed."
From funding scholarships and sponsoring programs to rewarding local school kids for being good citizens, Burnett said the management at NHBB understands the importance of participating in the community. "They get it," Burnett said. "They understand that everybody has to work together."
At the NHBB HiTech plant in Peterborough, three shifts of employees spend their workdays making ball bearings that are used in commercial and military aviation, said Hans Baker, the company's communications project manager.
The bearings can be found inside jet engines, in the rotors of helicopters, and in the landing gear on both. Gear boxes and engine mounts also include bearings made in Peterborough. They range in size from just under an inch to 12 inches in diameter, and are generally made of stainless steel, said Baker.
Burnett said he has faith in Peterborough's biggest employer.
"The disaster was bad news," he said, "But the good news is that New Hampshire Ball Bearings is strong as steel."

X-wing Starfighter
The X-wing is a versatile Rebel Alliance starfighter that balances speed with firepower. Armed with four laser cannons and two proton torpedo launchers, the X-wing can take on anything the Empire throws at it. Nimble engines give the X-wing an edge during dogfights, and it can make long-range jumps with its hyperdrive and its astromech droid co-pilot. Luke Skywalker is famous for destroying the Death Star behind the controls of an X-wing.
- Length: 13.4m ,
Soundboard //
Soundboard //
For the Rebel Alliance, the X-wing starfighter's greatest asset was its versatility. X-wings were nimble enough to dogfight with TIE fighters while tough enough to slug it out with Imperial ships of the line. That made them a good choice for the Alliance in its showdown with the first Death Star, where X-wings had to combat starfighters and turbolaser emplacements, then perform a bombing run down a narrow trench on the battle station's surface.
While often flying in conjunction with other starfighter models, X-wings remained the backbone of the rebels' starfighter corps after the Battle of Yavin. They ably performed escort duty during the evacuation of Hoth's Echo Base and proved critical to the attack on the second Death Star at the Battle of Endor.

Luke Skywalker
Luke Skywalker was a Tatooine farmboy who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the greatest Jedi the galaxy has ever known. Along with his friends Princess Leia and Han Solo, Luke battled the evil Empire, discovered the truth of his parentage, and ended the tyranny of the Sith. A generation later, the location of the famed Jedi master was one of the galaxy's greatest mysteries. Haunted by Ben Solo's fall to evil and convinced the Jedi had to end, Luke sought exile on a distant world, ignoring the galaxy's pleas for help. But his solitude would be interrupted – and Luke Skywalker had one final, momentous role to play in the struggle between good and evil.
A resourceful astromech droid, R2-D2 served Padmé Amidala, Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker in turn, showing great bravery in rescuing his masters and their friends from many perils. A skilled starship mechanic and fighter pilot's assistant, he formed an unlikely but enduring friendship with the fussy protocol droid C-3PO.
Rebel Alliance
The Rebel Alliance stood bravely against the evil of the Galactic Empire, never backing down despite overwhelming odds. Formed from resistance movements that arose during the Clone Wars, the Rebellion worked in secret for decades to overthrow the Emperor and restore democracy to the galaxy. Eventually, armed with the firepower of ships like the X-wing and A-wing, and the leadership of figures including Princess Leia and Admiral Ackbar, the Rebel Alliance triumphed over the Empire at the Battle of Endor.
Y-wing Starfighter
The Y-wing is a workhorse starfighter has been in use since the Clone Wars. Used for dogfights and for bombing runs against capital ships and ground targets, Y-wings are often overshadowed by newer models such as the X-wing and the A-wing. But the Y-wing's historical importance is remarkable, and it has reliably served multiple generations of star pilots.
TIE fighter
The TIE fighter was the unforgettable symbol of the Imperial fleet. Carried aboard Star Destroyers and battle stations, TIE fighters were single-pilot vehicles designed for fast-paced dogfights with Rebel X-wings and other starfighters. The iconic TIE fighter led to other models in the TIE family including the dagger-shaped TIE Interceptor and the explosive-laden TIE bomber. The terrifying roar of a TIE's engines would strike fear into the hearts of all enemies of the Empire.

BANGKOK (AP) — Asian stock markets steadied Tuesday after a sharp sell-off the day before.
There was a dearth of corporate or economic news for traders to digest and an insipid performance on Wall Street gave little direction either.
Most indexes were modestly higher after declining Monday on weak Chinese trade figures that reignited fears of a deeper slowdown in the world's No. 2 economy.
Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average was up 0.5 percent at 15,198.21 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 0.2 percent to 22,305.20. China's Shanghai Composite rose 0.3 percent to 2,005.31. Markets were also higher in South Korea, Australia and Southeast Asia.
"For the first time in some time traders are choosing to focus much more intently on their local economies," said IG's chief market strategist Chris Weston in a report.
"Asia is focusing predominantly on Asian issues, while Europe keeps a closer watch on developments in the Ukraine, and the U.S. on the narrative from various Fed members."
On Wall Street, the Standard & Poor's 500 index edged down 0.87 of a point to close at 1,877.17. It had been down 11 points earlier.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost 34.04 points, or 0.2 percent, to 16,418.68. The Nasdaq composite fell 1.77 points, or less than 0.1 percent, to 4,334.45.
The three major U.S. indexes are still up for the month, and only the Dow is down for the year.
Benchmark U.S. crude for April delivery was up 6 cents at $101.18 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell $1.46 to close at $101.12 a barrel Monday.
In currencies, the euro fell to $1.3868 from $1.3879 late Monday. The dollar fell to 102.23 yen from 103.26 yen.

SCons / ExternalTools
The SCons wiki has moved to https://github.com/SCons/scons/wiki/ExternalTools
There are lots of tools you might want to have SCons launch instead of an editor. These frequently require certain types of environment variable inheritance, and SCons, by default does none of that. For example, let's say you want to use the most excellent tool ccache (http://ccache.samba.org/ with your SConscript. You already know that you have to replace the tool with another, so you setup an environment like:
env = Environment( CXX = 'ccache g++' )
and invoke SCons, and see:
% scons scons: Reading SConscript files ... scons: done reading SConscript files. scons: Building targets ... ccache g++ -c -o foo.o foo.cxx ccache: failed to create (null)/.ccache (No such file or directory) scons: *** [foo.o] Error 1 scons: building terminated because of errors.
Drat! So what's going on? Well, turns out that ccache relies on putting temp files in your HOME directory. Arguably, this is a bug with the way ccache handles the getenv() system call, but that's another story. The scoop is that, alas, the environment is not inherited by SCons. So, how does one get the environment into SCons? Very simply:
import os env = Environment(ENV = os.environ)
ah, much better:
% scons scons: Reading SConscript files ... scons: done reading SConscript files. scons: Building targets ... ccache g++ -c -o foo.o foo.cxx ccache g++ -o foo foo.o scons: done building targets.
/!\ A better way of updating the ENV settings of the Environment is shown in ImportingEnvironmentSettings.

Nashua officials debate pros, cons of tabletsBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
June 20. 2013 11:14PM
NASHUA — As city officials consider whether to issue iPads or similar tablets to aldermen, at least one board member is raising concerns about texting during public meetings.
Aldermen participating in meetings at Nashua City Hall all use different electronic devices to obtain information, including smartphones, laptops, tablets, etc., according to Alderman-at-Large Barbara Pressly, who worries some of the activity on certain devices could possibly cause right-to-know violations.
"We don't know if they are texting. We don't know if people are calling in and communicating with them," Pressly said of her fellow aldermen, maintaining all communication by elected officials at public meetings should be part of the public record.
Pressly says she is pleased the board is considering distributing an electronic tablet so that each alderman can access the same information simultaneously during meetings.
"What we have been doing sort of bumps up against the right-to-know," she said.
Alderman Brian McCarthy, board president, said he often uses his cell phone to search for city ordinances or resolutions during meetings.
McCarthy is hopeful the Board of Aldermen can go paperless in the upcoming fiscal year. He has drafted a proposed ordinance regarding the issue.
The intention of the ordinance is to provide electronic submission and access to necessary materials for aldermen. Promoting the use of electronic data can significantly reduce the amount of money aldermen spend on paper, McCarthy said.
He is proposing that city-owned tablet devices be provided to aldermen who choose to take advantage of the proposal, in the form of a basic iPad or Android tablet with minimum memory and WiFi access.
"I kind of like paper," Alderman-at-Large David Deane said earlier this week at an aldermanic Personnel and Administrative Affairs Committee meeting.
Technology, as advanced as it has become, still has problems, said Deane, who said he still supports some of the proposal.
Eliminating paper would be an efficient use of staff time and technology, according to Alderman-at-Large Lori Wilshire, who is in favor of the ordinance.
"I don't really find there is a terrible misuse of technology in here," said Wilshire. She said that although she uses her phone to occasionally check something during meetings, she does not use it to text anyone else in the room.
McCarthy said he does not acknowledge incoming texts during public meetings, and he encouraged other board members to do the same.
Members must adhere to that advice on their own, he said.
The committee ultimately voted in support of the proposal, which will now go forward to the full Board of Aldermen for a final vote.
According to the ordinance, aldermen may choose one of three methods for paperwork distribution. If approved, aldermen will have the option of receiving a city-owned tablet device that could be used to obtain city agendas, meeting minutes and other pertinent packets, presentations, emails and correspondence necessary for aldermen to perform their duties.
The tablets, if chosen, will be the property of the city, and must be returned at the end of the alderman's term in office unless he or she chooses to purchase the device at its current value, says the proposal.
Another option will be for aldermen to use their own electronic device, as long as it conforms to any rules the Information Technology Division director may develop for such devices.
And the third option will still allow for the old-fashioned paper distribution of materials.
McCarthy said initial expenses will be about $7,500, although the official price tag will depend on how many aldermen seek tablets. He is recommending that an anticipated surplus from the board's existing budget be used to pay for the new firstname.lastname@example.com

TORONTO, July 2 (UPI) -- Torii Hunter had four hits, including a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning, lifting the Detroit Tigers to a 7-6 decision over Toronto Tuesday.
The game had been tied 6-6 since the second inning until Detroit finally pushed across a run in the eighth.
Omar Infante led off with a single against Neil Wagner (1-3), went to second on an Alex Avila sacrifice and to third on Austin Jackson's deep fly.
That brought up Hunter, who scorched a grounder off Wagner's legs. The ball bounded to shortstop Jose Reyes, whose throw to first was barely late, allowing Infante to score the decisive run.
Hunter finished 4-for-5, Miguel Cabrera smacked a three-run homer -- his 26th round-tripper of the year -- and Avila drove in a pair of runs as Detroit rebounded from an 8-3 loss in Monday's series opener.
Al Alburquerque (1-1) was credited with the win thanks to a scoreless seventh inning and Joaquin Benoit earned his sixth save for the Tigers.
Colby Rasmus belted a two-run homer and finished with four RBI for the Blue Jays.

NH student at bomber's school says classmate was 'just another kid'
By BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
LONDONDERRY — A Londonderry High School graduate now attending the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev blended in so well on the suburban campus that students considered him "just another kid" after viewing the photograph released by the FBI.
Tsarnaev was enrolled as a student at UMass Dartmouth, according to officials.
"It's surreal," said Nick Marquis, a senior and captain of the school hockey team. "All my friends are from that area, we go to Boston all the time, we couldn't believe it and then this comes out."
As the police dragnet for Tsarnaev in Massachusetts widened, classes were first canceled at UMass Dartmouth campus. A short time later the order was issued to evacuate.
"It was pretty crazy," Marquis said. "We got a call (Friday) morning, a regular call notifying us that classes were cancelled, then an email was posted that this kid was a registered student and the campus was evacuated."
Marquis, who lives in a house across the street from the campus, said students were scrambling to find rides after the evacuation order was issued.
Many who had cars gave up because of the resulting traffic jam on the one road leading off campus. Many students abandoned the effort and sought refuge with students, like Marquis, who lived in nearby apartments and houses.
Gradually, students began to congregate in the smattering of nearby off-campus apartments and houses.
"We were talking to kids on campus, they had nowhere to go; everyone was in a panic," Marquis said. "We have a lot of our friends that are staying with us here."
Students at the college were told that the Dartmouth High School had been opened up as a shelter for students who needed a place to stay and wait out the emergency.
As they waited, students sorted through what they heard from news sources and weighed it against the tales told on social media.
"We don't know what will happen next," Marquis said. "You hear all sorts of different stories, some people are nervous just because they haven't found him yet."
Tsarnaev lived in a sophomore dormitory, according to Marquis, and blended in so well that many students were trying to remember if they had ever seen him.
As one of the school's premier athletes, Marquis works out regularly in the school gymnasium. After hearing that Tsarnaev had reportedly worked out at the gym recently, Marquis looked at the FBI pictures of the bombing suspects, bit it brought him no recollection.
"I go to the gym every single day, I was trying to remember if I was ever in the gym with this kid," Marquis said. "But there is nothing about him that stands out."
Facing graduation in two weeks, Marquis had planned to attend the scheduled Friday night Red Sox game and then head for a planned visit home.
"I'm probably going to head back to New Hampshire soon," Marquis said Friday afternoon.
Student conversations at UMass Dartmouth center on Tsarnaev as students try to recall someone who was one of them, but whose secret life was so very different.
"You see those pictures on TV and just try to think yourself through, did I see him any where," Marquis said. "He looks like a lot of guys, one of those faces, just another kid."

McPherson College a surprise at halfway point
There was probably no KCAC football team more shrouded in mystery before the season than McPherson College's Bulldogs.
When first-year coach Pete Sterbick stood in front of the audience at KCAC Media Day in August at Salina, many were wondering who or what he exactly had. The Bulldogs as recently as 2010 had won the KCAC title, and gone 19-3 when you include the 2009 season, but it unraveled in 2011, leading to the departure of coach Joe Bettasso.
Sterbick said at the time the Bulldogs had some quality players, though the team had been hard hit by academic difficulties, resulting in some players not being eligible for the season. But we vowed he and his staff would take the players there who would buy into his system and coach them to the best of their abilities, instilling discipline on the field and in the classroom.
Opposing teams found out in a hurry what Mac was made of. In the Bulldogs' first game of the season, they took nationally ranked Missouri Valley (now No. 3 in the country) down to the wire before losing 27-13, with the final touchdown for the winners coming in the final minute of the game
While a majority of the players are holdovers from last year's 4-7 team, Sterbick and his staff have guided the Bulldogs to a 3-2 record, 3-1 in the KCAC for a tie for second place at the halfway point of the season. Their only KCAC loss came when a Friends prayer was answered, as the Falcons scored on a tipped pass with 9 seconds left to win, 18-17.
The Bulldogs have a bye today, and they'll sit back and watch the KCAC race perhaps take some semblance of shape since some of the contenders are matched.
"I think we're probably in the range of where I thought we'd be," said Sterbick, who is on the road this weekend. "We're not all on the same page all the time, but we're getting there. We've got lots of good kids here. We're kind of demanding as a staff and they've for the most part responded well."
The Bulldogs' offense has been paced by quarterback Jake Snodgrass, who is among the best in the KCAC. Sterbick said he's made huge strides from last season and even from spring practice. He's emerged as both a pass-run threat and for the most part has made good decisions. He's also an Academic All-American and up for a national honor because of his combination of football skill and academic achievements.
The Bulldogs' skill position players are not flashy, but efficient. Sterbick has been using a four-man rotation at running back, and all have had their moments. He feels comfortable with whomever is on the field, as each has a particular strength.
Julius Record, however, has emerged as arguably the KCAC's top receiver, despite being somewhat subpar physically a couple of games. He had 14 catches in the opener against Missouri Valley, then 15 last week.
Sterbick also has made more use of his tight ends than perhaps any team in the KCAC. Paul Rotering and Byron O'Rourke have come up huge time and again, especially on key third- and fourth-down plays.
The offensive line was thought to be the weak link before the season, but Sterbick said it has been a pleasant surprise despite depth issues and some shuffling, which has resulted in James Temaat, a former tight end, becoming one of the KCAC's best as his position.
Defensively is where the team has caught the KCAC by storm.
"That's probably where we've made the biggest strides," said Sterbick, giving kudos to first-year defensive coordinator Steve Fox, as he's developed a unit among the Top 10 in the country. "They have been really flying to the ball. And nine of the starters are either sophomores or juniors, so we feel real good about that."
And it's a group that plays extremely well together, with different players seemingly stepping up each week. The secondary, such a problem area last year, has emerged as a tough, ballhawking unit to throw against.
The Bulldogs reached their high-water mark last week in allowing Bethel only 75 yards of total offense, 6 in the first half. The only Thresher score was a fumble return.
Because of Thursday's announcement that the McPherson College game with Tabor has been canceled, the Bulldogs will have an open date on Oct. 20 and play only a nine-game schedule.
Sterbick said he was in complete support of the decision. He also hopes the schools can come together, heal and move on in life in a positive manner.

My friend had the same problem, He never got codes on his auto computer. We then surmise the problem is before the computer like the wiring or connections. He check that area and found two bad connections. The Jeep runs fine now. Good Luck
My wife and I have owned this Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, straight 6, 4x4, since it had 95k on it. It was a single owner vehicle and well maintained.We've maintained it perfectly and always ensure that it is in for its fluid changes early. Nearly 6 years later, it now has approximately 144k on it.
About a year and a half ago it began cutting out now and then. It would just die. However, you could restart it without fail.
Then it began to die while coming to a stop. Then it began to die at idle. Then it began to die while driving on the freeway and highway at much higher speeds.That's the progression.
We've read numerous forums and the like and have notated the information we found therein. I recall reading a few posts made by members of these forums stating that they had spent every dime they had over a 6 month period trying to fix it, now they are broke and without transportation because it won't start, they can't afford to fix it, the mechanic is clueless, and we thought, ... well, (cough, cough), we won't be one of those guys. Ha.
We have replaced all of the typical causes for such behavior and a few other things, to no avail.
Here's a list of what we have replaced and done thus far:
Diagnostics (Several Times)
Compression & Leakage Test (three times): Passed with perfect mesurement.
Spark Plugs
Distributor (Twice)
Cap & Rotor
Pick Up Coil
Ignition Coil
Power Steering Pump
O2 sensors (front and back)
Timing Sensor (on the block)
Crank Shaft Position Sensor (Twice)
Fuel Pump (complete assembly with the filter included)
Two Hoses top-side of the engine block
PVC valves on top of the engine
MAP/MAFS Sensor
Throttle Position Sensor
Idle Control Module
Cleaned the Throttle Body
Inspected all hoses for leaks numerous times
Coolant Temperature Sensor
Battery Cables
Checked all connections numerous times
Checked for the correct readings on all sensors
Conducted Ground Test on Circuitry
Inspected PCM Harness
Inspected PCM Harness Screws
Replaced PCM Harness Screws
Ensured that they were approx. 1/4 distance out
Now, most of that, our mechanic has done. Never-the-less, here we are. And still with NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.
He's said that he's thoroughly checked the harness to the PCM and verified everything is properly grounded. He doesn't believe that it has anything to do with the connections or the wiring. He also said that he thought that the whole idea of changing the screws holding the PCM in place was preposterous (so did the dealership), since the PCM is grounded anyways and that if it wasn't grounded there would be more problems then stalling. Dealership concurred, so the voo doo solution of modifying the screws as referenced in some forums appears to be shear non-sense.
We've spent all of our savings and current cash flow on this vehicle at this point. Its been down for over a week. We haven't even paid our bills at this point. I'm self employed and when I'm not driving, I'm not making money.This is a critical moment in my life as I don't have enough money to purchase another vehicle right now.
Chrysler took a look at it once and said that they couldn't identify a problem. I haven't taken it back as that was a fruitless effort and pricy.
My wife ran into a Chrysler mechanic of thirty years the other day and he said that we ought to check the valve springs. However, that didn't seem right to me because it would seem like you would hear it rattle. When I forwarded that information to our mechanic, he assured me that if it were the valve springs, that it would be a noticeable noise. There is no such noise.
Sometimes it just dies, sometimes it'll sound like its choking a bit while it dies or while it comes close to dying. Sometimes it dies at idle, sometimes while driving slow, sometimes at high rates of speed, sometimes while stopping.There does not appear to be any consistency with it. Sometimes it runs real rough and seems to loose power when taking off from a stopped position.
It does not make any unusual sounds. When it originally began, it was just hard to start a couple of times and then for the first few months, seemed to only want to die when coming to a stop. Now it can be hard or very hard to start, and it will die unexpectedly with no check engine light or other signs of problems.
There is one exception to the engine light. On two occassions while driving at 50+ mph and climbing in elevation (long hills like going into the mountains), it would choke a bit, and then give a check engine light. However, it never died.
When I connected the OBD 2 scanner to it, it read: CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE DETECTED.
So, my question to anybody who is a mechanic, anybody that works for Chrysler, anybody who has ever owned a Jeep and experienced a similar issue. Do you have any idea what the cause could be and the best way, at this point, to resolve the issue and/or where to go from here?
Is it likely to be the Catalytic Converter?
ADDITIONALLY:MECHANIC: JUST TODAY - Replaced the crankshaft position sensor .... again. No avail. Same thing. Runs for awhile and then dies. Everything
is as it should be according to the diagnostics and computer readings.
I've talked to a few shops and they are all clueless. Mechanic
also advised that he's talked to other mechanics he knows, a couple of
specialist, a former Chrysler Technician, and some other shop owners in
California that he knows, and they are all clueless at this point.
said that he thought whatever it is that's causing the problem is most
likely something small because it doesn't have any issues with the
engine and most all other parts have been replaced now. ~ Doesn't make
me feel better.
He recommended that I bring it back to the dealership for further review. I'm stuck and cannot afford to go to the dealership. PLEASE HELP!
P.S. If you're in Seattle, please feel free to e-mail me for correspondence or to meet up.
Thanks everybody!

Students in the School of Computing at the University of North Florida recently brought home several awards in the 17th Annual Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP) National Collegiate Conference held in San Antonio, Texas.
The UNF team, comprised of seniors Cody Ayers, Thomas Kroning and Owais Saulat, won first place in the national computer programming contest in graphics communication, which tests competitors' skills in website design and development. Saulat serves as president of the UNF AITP chapter, while Ayers serves as vice president and Kroning as treasurer.
We felt this competition would be our best chance of winning first place, said Ayers. "For three hours straight, we quickly created a website that fulfilled the requirements and that would hopefully blow away the competition."
Participants were expected to use state-of-the-art Web development tools, including cascading style sheets, Script programming and HTML. The group also had a third-place finish in the AITP chapter T-shirt design competition.
The computing students comp
eted against 24 other teams representing colleges and universities from
Texas State University-San Marcos, Missouri State University,
James Madison University, Missouri Western State University, Oklahoma Panhandle State University and Horry-Georgetown Technical College.
The annual event has grown substantially in recent years, with a record-breaking 775 students representing 74 universities from across the country.
Success is not new to the
School of Computing as several other awards have been secured throughout the years, including placing first in a similar national contest in COBOL programming in 2006. "These high distinctions would not have been achieved without the continuous support from the School of Computing and the College of Computing, Engineering and Construction," said Dr. Zornitza Prodanoff, a UNF associate professor of Computing, who has served as the faculty advisor for the UNF AITP chapter since 2003.
The School of Computing has primary responsibility for computer-related instruction in the
College of Computing, Engineering and Construction
. For undergraduate students, the School offers the Bachelor of Science degree in Computer and Information Sciences with four separate programs in computer science, information science, information systems, and information technology. For graduate students, the school offers the Master of Science degree in Computer and Information Sciences with three separate programs in computer science, information systems, and software engineering.

An important part of controlling asthma is learning the skills for administering your medicines correctly. These skills help ensure you get as much medicine as possible into your lungs, and can help reduce side effects. It is also important to learn how to use a peak flow meter for monitoring how well your asthma is under control.
Below, you will find visual step-by-step presentations to help you develop these skills, as well as "text only" versions that are easier to print. Note: Dry Powder Inhalers are usually activated by inhaling, not by a propellant. Therefore, they don't require the coordination between breathing and squeezing as needed for metered dose inhalers. Each device comes with its own instruction guide.

McLEAN, Va. (AP) — Dish and Gannett say they have reached an agreement in a fee dispute that had threatened to leave more than 2 million Dish subscribers in 19 cities without access to local television stations owned by Gannett.
The companies said Monday that they reached a long-term agreement but didn't give further details.
Dish Network Corp. had claimed that Gannett Co. was asking for a 300 percent increase in fees for the right to carry 22 Gannett stations affiliated with NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox. Gannett has said it was seeking a fair deal in line with market rates.
The two sides are also fighting over Dish's new digital video recorder, which allows customers to automatically skip commercials from the previous night's prime-time broadcasts.
Gannett's television markets include Denver, Atlanta and Washington.
