MILLBURY — Initial plans for a $200 million slots casino on McCracken Road, off Route 146 and the Mass Pike, were presented at the Planning Board meeting Monday night, offering the public its first look at the project's location and proposed design.
Mass Gaming & Entertainment, a subsidiary of Chicago-based Rush Street Gaming, hopes to develop a 110,000- to 115,000-square-feet complex with the state-maximum 1,250 slot machines, at least one full-service restaurant and other food venues, a live music area and day spa.
The slots parlor would be just north of The Shoppes at Blackstone Valley, a large open-air shopping center that opened in 2004.
The developer's traffic consultant, Robert Michaud from MDM Transportation Consultants, said the company is committed to improving the interchange at Route 146 and Main Street, which would be the access point for 90 percent of trips generated by the casino. Cars exiting the casino would not be allowed to turn left onto McCracken Road, a cut-through between Route 146 and Route 20, but would be directed back to the 146 interchange.
Planning Board Chairman Richard F. Gosselin wasn't convinced the traffic improvements would improve an area that can get gridlocked for hours during holiday shopping peaks at the mall.
"You haven't convinced me traffic is going to be flowing through there. We're still driving everybody into one massive intersection," Mr. Gosselin said.
He also questioned the casino's amenities: "There doesn't seem to be any conferencing facilities located with this facility," he said. "There's a void here I was kind of surprised (it) didn't show up in your game plan."
David G. Patent, president of Rush Street Gaming, said the company incorporates a multi-use room in its Des Plaines, Ill., Rivers Casino and could factor that into its Millbury design, although it wouldn't be a full-fledged conference center.
Residents packed Town Hall to hear the presentation, although they weren't given the opportunity for input at the meeting. Millbury resident Ginny Picking said, while waiting for the presentation to start, she supported the casino because, "I'd like to spend my money in Millbury instead of going to Rhode Island or Connecticut."
Sitting among a row of casino supporters, another resident, Bob Carrigan, said, "I think it's a good idea. It's going to help our tax base; it's also going to help create jobs and I think that the location is good, too." But, Mr. Carrigan added, "I'd like to hear from the chief of police about what he thinks about the crime."
The proposed site is in the Route 146 commercial overlay district. Developers must seek a special permit from the Planning Board and then undergo site plan and stormwater plan review before it can receive board approval.
A public hearing for a special permit would be Aug. 12 in the high school auditorium, if the developer files the formal proposal with the board. At the same time, Mass Gaming & Entertainment is negotiating a host community agreement with town officials, which it expects to have signed by July 26 if it is to meet the timeline required by the state Gaming Commission.
Once an agreement is signed, voters will have the chance to give thumbs up or down at a townwide referendum. If the casino plan and host agreement are approved locally, the developer must submit a phase 2 application to the Gaming Commission by Oct. 4. The commission will award one slots casino license for the whole state.
Other contenders include Cordish Co., with a proposal for Leominster; Plainridge Racecourse in Plainville; Raynham Park; and a new proposal from Penn National Gaming for a casino in Tewksbury.
The slots license will be awarded this winter. A proposal by Rush Street Gaming for a slots parlor in Worcester fell apart in June.

I would like to thank the Times Herald-Record for publishing Steve Israel's Jan. 27 article, "Counting the uncounted is an elusive task."
I would like to thank the Times Herald-Record for publishing Steve Israel's Jan. 27 article, "Counting the uncounted is an elusive task."
While I realize that many significant efforts are being made within our community to combat the invisible epidemic that is homelessness, I believe that there is much more work that must be done in order to restore safety, vitality and health to those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
An important first step in helping the homeless is to provide much-needed stability. Generally, this comes to them in the form of supportive housing, career assistance, or supplemental services such as food stamps. All too often, health care is overlooked in this shuffle.
The issue here is that quality health care can usually prevent the need for some of these other assistive services. An individual in poor health may be unable to look for or hold onto a job. An individual in poor health may be unable to properly support his family and loved ones. An individual in poor health truly cannot be a fully productive member of society.
While health care is not the ultimate answer to homelessness, it is often a tragically overlooked yet extremely integral aspect to the solution.
Quality health care truly is one of our best weapons in the ongoing fight against homelessness, and I am proud to say that my organization is on the frontline. Recently, we were granted New Access Point funding to establish a site of service designated by the HRSA (Health Resource and Services Administration) Bureau of Primary Health Care as a Health Center for the Homeless.
In the coming months, we will be formally opening our Health Care for the Homeless site, which we will call the Harper Health Center, named after HONOR EHG's John Harper — whose lifelong dedication to serving homeless families and individuals is an ideal we will strive to emulate.
It will be next door to the Community Resource Center at 280 Broadway in Newburgh. This center has many human service agencies that provide assistance to countless individuals. We believe that the partnerships being formed between our organization and those at the Community Resource Center will provide the broad spectrum and continuity of care that this specific population needs.
At this new site, at 290 Broadway, we will be offering comprehensive medical services, and I am excited to say we are already offering many of these services on-site through our Mobile Health Van every Monday while we wait for construction to finish.
One of our goals in opening this site is to combat the obstacles standing between those in need and the medical attention they deserve. Whether the patient is homeless, at risk of becoming homeless, in transition, or simply unable to afford health care, we have ways to help. I promise you that I will never stop working for my life's belief that health care is a right and not a privilege.
If the world was perfect, there would not be homelessness. There would be no individuals who had to choose between food, clothing, shelter or preventive medical care to keep healthy. Unfortunately, this is the world we live in.
Our community is headed in the right direction; however, there is still much more that needs to be learned. Health care is an important factor in the equation to end homelessness that we can no longer afford to ignore.
Linda S. Muller is president and CEO of the Greater Hudson Valley Family Health Center in Newburgh.

The real fiscal cliff is the nation's $16 trillion debt, slated to rise to over $20 trillion if President Obama's budget–for which not a single member of Congress voted–is the de facto blueprint for the next four years. Obama, as far as I can tell, has never once in his life taken responsibility for a problem, let alone solved one. So he doesn't care about our impending financial collapse, except insofar as he can demagogue it for political advantage. Hence his absurd position, that all he cares about in negotiations with Congress is that upper-income taxpayers–those who are already paying twice their fair share of income taxes, on the average–pay even more, even though the effect on the deficit will be negligible. Michael Ramirez brings Obama's fiscal death wish to graphic life:

Checkmate, Chicago.
Thanks in part to the daughter of Russian immigrants, bar theme nights and the rise of nerd culture, chess is shedding its image as a game for old men in the park or geeky social outcasts.
"I think already with this generation, we're breaking the stereotype of this is just for the social outcast kid. We're saying this is for every kind of kid," said Polina Korenman, 22, a Rogers Park resident and the vice president and director of traveling bookstore Checkmate Chess Supply. Korenman, the daughter of Russian immigrants, also teaches chess at schools, libraries, community centers—even bars—all over the Chicago area.
One of those bars is Sheffield's in Lakeview, which hosts a chess night ever third Monday of the month. The next one is Monday night. (Iguana Cafe at 517 N. Halsted also has a chess night Monday.)
Korenman is a server there and helped start chess nights at the bar in September. She had been looking for a unique venue to showcase the game and knew Sheffield's was the perfect spot after she discovered her manager was a fan of the game.
"The fun thing about doing this at a bar is that people can eat Sheffield's BBQ," said Korenman, who also is a U.S. Chess Federation certified chess tournament director. "It smells amazing, we're right next to the fireplace, and people can eat and drink. So, after a few beers and cocktails, people can get a little competitive."
Having beer and barbecue at arm's length is what keeps regulars like Alex Reeve returning to play.
"Chess night anywhere is unique, but combining it with kickass craft beers and great people makes it cathartic," said Reeve, 29, a game designer from Lakeview. "Sheffield's chess night is awesome because it shows that strategy, beer and being classy as hell aren't mutually exclusive."
Like Korenman, Reeve said chess is becoming more popular with younger Chicagoans.
"Chess is hip right now. Nerds are popular these days for the first time since Merlin Jones, and it's awesome," said Reeve, who acknowledged Korenman beats him at chess every time the two play. "It represents a fundamental shift in what we, and media, glamorize."
Mark Tolliver, the manager at Sheffield's, said chess night is a perfect fit for the bar, which started hosting them in September.
"I thought this was a great avenue for us to take," said Tolliver, 30, a Lakeview resident. "Polina and I thought of this idea. She hosts and plays at the same time. She'll play several games at once. She's pretty fun to watch; she's good."
Korenman's co-worker, Terence Pinkston, 23, has seen her talent firsthand.
"Polina shows us how we can better our game," said Terence, a Logan Square resident and cook at Sheffield's. "Chess brings out the best in people."
"I get so much praise from my students and my parents and the principals and my peers that I couldn't help but continue and want to grow," Korenman said. "It's given me a whole new approach on life."
For Korenman, introduced to the game by her grandfather at 9, chess also helped give her something in common with her dad, who runs the charity Chess for Peace.
"One of my favorite parts about the whole game of chess is how it gives me a bond with my dad," Korenman said. "It's something we get to talk about and do together."
"My dad became a chess teacher in the Chicago area and was so in-demand, so he asked if I could help out. I started with one class a week, and within a year I was teaching nine classes a week."
Her love of chess and her passion for helping kids is what inspired Korenman to volunteer at her father's charity, which brings students from different countries together to play chess and establish lasting friendships.
"Every country you go to in the entire world has somebody who plays chess, and they play by the exact same rules that we play in America," said Korenman, who met former Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev through the charity. "It's a way to bring them together."

Plaistow lawyer faces charges related to Kingston boating crash death
By JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
— A Plaistow lawyer has been charged with a pair of misdemeanors for allegedly crashing into another boat and killing 54-year-old Eric Eskeland, of Merrimack last May.
Lawrence Buswell Jr., 52, is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 1 in Rockingham Superior Court on single counts of vehicular assault and careless and negligent operation of boats for killing Eskeland and injuring five other passengers.
Buswell was piloting a 20-foot Correct Craft powerboat "at a rate of speed which prohibited him from being able to observe a boat, specifically a Sea Ray, directly in front of him," the misdemeanor complaint says.
Prosecutors have not said how fast Buswell was traveling. The crash happened at 11:27 p.m. May 26, 2012, on Country Pond in Kingston, and set off an investigation by the New Hampshire Marine Patrol.
The two charges are expected to be followed by felony indictments for causing Eskeland's death, according to a notice filed by prosecutors.
Buswell is also awaiting possible indictment in connection with charges that he allegedly raped a 15-year-old boy between July and August 2011 in a boat on the same lake.
The boy told Kingston police that Buswell gave him two shots of Smirnoff Sour Apple Vodka and then took him out on his boat to go swimming. Buswell faces two counts of felonious sexual assault, three counts of misdemeanor sexual assault and a single count of prohibited sales in that case.
He remains free on $50,000 personal recognizance bail following his arraignment in that case.
County prosecutors said that they filed misdemeanors separately in the boating case in May because the statute of limitations were about to expire.
Assistant County Attorney Ben LeDuc said in the court notice that prosecutors anticipate seeking felony charges against Buswell in the boating case, "which will later be joined or consolidated with an accompanying felony case."
The pair of misdemeanors is punishable by up to a year in county jail and a $2,000 fine.
But Buswell could face state prison time if a grand jury returns a negligent homicide charge against him. The sexual assault charges are also punishable by up to 3½ to 7 years in state prison. A judge ordered the long-time lawyer to have no contact with any person under 16 years of age, including the teenage boy he allegedly assaulted. Buswell also signed a waiver of extradition.

This week in Island history
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 100 years ago came from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago From the Newport Daily News, July 16, 1908
The horses and carriages belonging to Mr. Strawbridge of Philadelphia, who has rented the Morris cottage on the Dumplings, arrived today.
While alighting from the electric busses which run across the island, connecting the Saunders line ferries, a passenger stepped in front of one of the rear wheels, which passed over his foot. The injured man was taken to a physician, and it was found that he had a fortunate escape, the wheel only passing over his toes, one of which was broken.
From the Newport Daily News, July 20, 1908
The farmers are shipping their crops of potatoes to Providence via Newport. The crop this year, although not unusually heavy, is the finest in size and shape for a number of years.
75 years ago From the Newport Daily News, July 18, 1933
An attractive display is seen in the windows of the Jamestown Red Cross room in the Lyons block on Narragansett Avenue. All garments and other articles, which have been supplied by the Newport Chapter, and garments made by the Jamestown branch, also by the churches and other organizations can be seen. In the east window, a splendid display of a complete layette is shown.
From the Newport Daily News, July 20, 1933
The Torpedo Station blasted out three runs in the tenth inning to take a 6-3 decision from Jamestown in the Sunset league game at the Basin Wednesday.
50 years ago From the Newport Daily News, July 18, 1958
The (Town) Council planned a meeting with the Recreation Board as soon as possible on the adjust- ment of the $2 entrance fee to the Fort Getty recreation area. The fee was charged for the first time Sunday and netted $54 for the weekend. An additional $37 was taken in at Mackerel Cove area.
George E. Conley, candidate for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor, today strongly opposed the construction of the proposed Jamestown oil refinery.
From the Newport Daily News, July 19, 1958
The Jamestown Bridge Commission last night tabled the town's request for aid in paying the cost of maintaining a guard for the summer at the Beavertail area as was done the past two years.
25 years ago From the Newport Daily News, July 18, 1983
The Rev. Frederick Spulnick, rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in New Bedford, Mass., has accepted the call of the vestry of St. Matthew's Church in Jamestown to serve there as rector.
From the Newport Daily News, July 19, 1983
State environmental officials probably will end up deciding whether Jamestown can dump their trash close to home and forget it. … DEM is pressing the town to close its landfill, and the group assigned to find a landfill alternative has urged the town to send its trash to a new transfer station in South Kingstown. But hidden costs- including the inconvenience of driving off Conanicut Island or paying someone else to do it- have prompted the Town Council to look at one more alternative. At a Council workshop Monday night, Patrick Maher of Newport's Safeway Systems said he thinks his company can get approval for an on-Island "mini-station," where townspeople could dump their household trash into trailers. At a rate of $25 a ton, Safeway would haul the trash to the Newport compacter.
15 years ago From the Jamestown Press, July 15, 1993
The Town Council will do whatever is necessary to stop the vandalism and harassment of sidewalk strollers that has been taking place in the village at night in recent weeks. … A loitering ordinance, a curfew, and foot-patrols by police are among the proposed solutions to the problem.
A Superior Court judge has upheld an appeal of a Zoning Board decision that would allow the town to build a ball field at what was the corner of East Shore Road and Eldred Avenue.
The Board of Canvassers will be open this evening from 7 to 9 p.m. for preliminary work needed to divide the island into two polling places.
10 years ago From the Jamestown Press, July 16, 1998
A ban on all outside residential municipal water users went into effect Monday at midnight, and anyone who violates the prohibition on car and boat washing, lawn and garden watering and pool filling faces a $500 fine. While town officials regularly put a ban on outdoor residential water uses because of drought, this time the problem is too much rain.
The Jamestown School Committee announced the appointment of five more new teachers, bringing the total number of new hires for the 1998-99 school year to seven, awaiting an August announcement of an eighth and final hire.
The town may establish a loading zone and an emergency vehicle access near the foot of the wooden pier at East Ferry, and it may also issue 8-hour parking stickers to the commercial fishermen who use that dock.

both gates should always face away from direction of travel...
Quote from: DMan on July 15, 2014, 08:34:56 amboth gates should always face away from direction of travel...I am just into my second season of doing this. Until about 3 or 4 years ago, the prevailing thought was the orientation of the top (unflipped) biner did not matter. That has changed with updated results and info from the field.
out of my 13 draws I have 3 with little locking biners. I don't care how hard it is to clean, it makes me feel comfortable on routes that wander left & right!
That is an outstanding idea Al! I think I am going to make me a couple.

Ariel Tanner believed that love was nothing but an illusion, a sick prank your brain pulls on you. But when she meets Harry Styles she begins to question everything she has put together about love. This frustrating boy was the only truly genuine person she'd ever met. How someone like him could even exist blew her mind. Harry, on the other hand, was amazed at how closed off Ariel acted. He made it his mission to knock down the walls she'd built around herself, because behind the flirting and the sarcasm, he got a glimpse of a girl that he wanted to become as close as humanly possible to. But did he really want to know everything behind those walls?

Read chronologically, today's readings are like a painting that begins with confined, uncertain strokes but results in a masterpiece of decisive, expansive brilliance. And that change — a divine trajectory — was the direct result of a transformation gifted by the giver of life, the Holy Spirit, who recreated the early Christians with a power that is as breathtakingly evident as it is mysteriously evasive.
The Gospel depicts the disciples, following the Resurrection, sitting in fear behind locked doors. They were closed off from the world, thinking only of their safety, of what they had lost and of the problems awaiting them. The disciples were fearful of "the Jews," that is, the religious leaders who had persecuted Jesus. Suddenly, the perfect Jew (who had fulfilled every part of the Law), the risen Christ, was in their midst. The locks on the doors and on their hearts could not remain fastened in his presence, for he is peace and joy!
The Father had sent the Son, and the Son would likewise send the apostles. They would go forth filled and animated with the Spirit of God, given by the breath of the Incarnate Word. Just as God had breathed life into Adam and transformed mere dust into a creature in the divine likeness and image, the Son of God breathed divine life into fearful men and transformed them into sons of God. In addition, he granted divine authority — the power to forgive and retain sins. This is the ministry of mercy and forgiveness, and it shows how closely bound together are the missions of the Church and the Holy Spirit. In fact, they share the same mission: "From this hour onward, the mission of Christ and the Spirit becomes the mission of the Church" (CCC, No. 730).
Seven weeks later, the disciples were again in the upper room — not filled with fear, but with anticipation. Again, God came suddenly into their midst, this time with a noise like a strong wind and with what appeared to be "tongues of fire." Long before, when leading the people of Israel out of Egypt, God appeared under the appearance of a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. On Pentecost, his presence was represented by wind and fire. Pentecost was the start of a pilgrimage of the Church, the new people of God. "By his coming," states the catechism, "which never ceases, the Holy Spirit causes the world to enter into the 'last days,' the time of the Church, the Kingdom already inherited though not yet consummated" (CCC, No. 732).
St. Paul reiterated the intimate connection between the Holy Spirit and the Church. First, no one is able to declare that Jesus is Lord "except by the Holy Spirit." And the Church, he further explained, is the body of Christ — and there is only "one body." Secondly, there are many different forms of service and spiritual gifts in the Church, but there is only one Spirit, one Lord, one God. How does one enter into that body? Through baptism, for "whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons ... we were all given to drink of one Spirit." This harkens back to what Jesus said to Nicodemus: "Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit" (Jn 3:5).
"God created the world," the Catechism notes, "for the sake of communion with his divine life," a communion brought about by the Church. The Holy Spirit opens the doors so we can go into the world with the Gospel, with courage, peace and joy.

Filmmaker Mark Malkoff knows the recession's tough on everyone so he rented a cab for a day to give a handful of New Yorkers a free ride. The only catch was you had to take a cab with a small, strange man with a love for Tony Danza.
While the big reveal is supposed to be how high Malkoff can get the meter, the real enjoyment is seeing how far people will go for a free cab ride, including driving around in a cab full of popcorn.

Taylor Swift & Jake Gyllenhaal: Thanksgiving in Brooklyn!
Taylor Swift and her rumored new boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal have been celebrating Thanksgiving together in Brooklyn, New York.
Sources exclusively tell JustJared.com that Jake, 29, and Taylor, 20, stopped by the Gorilla Coffee shop in Park Slope on Thursday morning (November 25).
"They asked one of the coffee shop employees for help picking out beans," a spywitness tells Just Jared. "They both seemed super nice and wound up ordering lattes."
Jake's older sister Maggie Gyllenhaal lives in the area, so it seems like it's only big family affair!
Happy Thanksgiving!!! Gobble, gobble.

It's just that the preferred target is ground, so it can get an easier shot on slower moving, non-airborne targets.

The four defendants have been fould guilty of being accessories to breaching copyright law. For all the goody two shoes on OSNews, The Pirate Bay is a website that in and of itself doesn't host any copyrighted content, as it only hosts .torrent files. The craziest little detail that will most likely be overlooked by most news outlets? They have only been found guilty of having made just 33 copyrighted files available for illegal filesharing. And for that, you get one year in jail, and a 2.75 million EUR fine. Perspective, anyone? I could kill someone in this country and be out on the streets sooner.
The media companies are obviously full of glee. "Today's verdict is the right outcome on all three counts. The court has also handed down a strong deterrent sentence that reflects the seriousness of the crimes committed," said the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry's boss John Kennedy, "This is good news for everyone, in Sweden and internationally, who is making a living or a business from creative activity and who needs to know their rights will be protected by law."
The Pirate Bay founders, Peter Sunde, Carl Lundström, Frederik Neij and Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, have already stated they will appeal the decision.

This module makes it possible to map different parts of the host file system into the document tree. The following config directives are described:
Alias url-path directory-filename
Default: - None -
Module: mod_alias(3)
The Alias directive allows documents to be stored in the local
file system instead of the
location. URLs with a path that begins with
url-path is
mapped to local files that begins with
for example:
Alias /image /ftp/pub/image
and an access to
http://your.server.org/image/foo.gif would
refer to the file
DirectoryIndex file file ...
Default: - None -
Module: mod_alias(3)
DirectoryIndex specifies a list of resources to look
for if a client requests a directory using a
/ at the
end of the directory name.
file depicts the name of a
file in the directory. Several files may be given, in which case
the server will return the first it finds, for example:

http://your.server.org/docs/index.html if it
ScriptAlias url-path directory-filename
Default: - None -
Module: mod_alias(3)
The ScriptAlias directive has the same behavior as the
Alias directive, except that it also
marks the target directory as containing CGI scripts. URLs with
a path beginning with
url-path are mapped to scripts
beginning with

NATDA Eyes Member-Financed Credit Union
September 9, 2010 by Bob Ashley · Comments Off on NATDA Eyes Member-Financed Credit Union
The North American Trailer Dealers Association (NATDA), which meets for its third annual trade show over the weekend in Louisville, Ky., intends to establish a credit union financed by its over 400 dealers and 200 manufacturer and supplier members.
"As soon as the show is over, I intend to spend 100% of my time working on setting up a retail financing program," said Andy Ackerman, president of the three-year-old for-profit association headquartered in St. Petersburg, Fla.
About 600 people representing 240 registered dealerships will attend the show at the Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC) which kicks off with a VIP reception Friday evening (Sept. 10) and runs through Sunday. Forty-nine manufacturers of commercial, utility, equestrian and cargo trailers plan to display about 300 trailers during the show. NATDA has sold out 188,000 square feet of space booked in two halls of the massive KEC's South Wing.
"The biggest problem our dealers have is floorplan and retail financing," Ackerman said. "Banks don't understand our industry. The only way we can control our own destiny is to be self-sufficient with regard to financing. I think we can sustain our own lending for our industry."
Ackerman said he hopes to have the credit union established sometime in 2011.
The show will have a strong education component with regard to sales management, business management and parts and service management. Four classes will be conducted for each of the three categories. Audio recordings of the classes will be available to NATDA members at www.natda.org.
A $245-per-year membership also includes and associate membership in the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM) and the technical, regulatory and safety information NATM provides.
"We are trying to teach our dealers how to run better businesses," Ackerman said. "Our big push is educating dealers about being in compliance with safety regulations."
Ackerman said the retail sales in the trailer industry have "been steadily picking up" throughout the year.
"The horse trailer side is a little slow as are the big units with living space," he said. "But 60% of our industry is commercial so we weren't affected by the downturn as much as the recreational side of the business."

"I've always railed against the whole oligarchy," said Al Jourgensen. This is expected. Jourgensen, a k a Buck Satan from the bands Ministry, Lard and the Revolting Cocks, has been scaring suburban parents for years with mechanical noises and angry lyrics. Recently enlisted by the voter education group Punkvoter, he railed very effectively against Urban Outfitters for selling an apparently antivoting T-shirt that read "Voting Is for Old People." The shirt also pissed off both the director and student chairman of the Harvard Institute for Politics and several members of Congress, who complained that it promoted apathy to a demographic group that tends to avoid the voting booth. Ultimately, Urban Outfitters gave in and recalled the shirt. But Jourgensen was still mad about one other looming political matter: the President.
"The one thing Bush does best is piss people off," griped Jourgensen on the phone from rural Texas, where he had just finished recording a new Ministry album. The Administration's foreign policy has been enough to make this industrial-strength rocker set aside, for now, some of his rage against the whole oligarchy to focus his ire on one primary target. "Democrats and Republicans," he admitted, "I think, basically, there's not much difference." But the truth is, there is little Jourgensen wouldn't do to get Bush out of office. He might even give John Kerry a good scream at the next Ministry concert.
"Absolutely!" he said, not railing at all. "I'll do whatever it takes. If Kerry wants us, we're there."
Voters, especially those under 30, who are upset with Bush, the war, the economy, healthcare, drug laws, the environment and the status quo of big-money politics do not have an obvious spokesperson in the upcoming election. Howard Dean was supposed to be the bold voice of the young and the angry. Dennis Kucinich snagged a few of the hard-core anti-warriors, until the dream seemed too impossible. Ralph Nader is still in the debate for some of the disaffected but has lost voters who believe that this is a high-stakes election.
And that leaves Kerry. Wealthy and senatorial, John F. Kerry is an unlikely candidate for anarchists and industrial rockers. More significant, perhaps, a recent Harvard poll suggests that the senator has so far not matched Bush himself in his ability to rally youth against the current Administration. Kerry now holds a ten-point lead over Bush on college campuses, but 37 percent of those surveyed said they did not know enough about the Democrat to form an opinion of him, or did not recognize his name. The study indicates that frustration with the President has drawn people to support Kerry by default, as the anti-Bush.
But is rage enough to turn out young anti-Bush voters in November? How about rage, a voter registration table and a good mosh pit? These are some of the unusual election-year questions facing organizers out to tap a strong dissatisfaction with the status quo and channel it toward a level of youth participation in battleground states that could swing a tight election. This spring, with an eye on mobilizing angry punks, Punkvoter commissioned Jello Biafra, NOFX, Alkaline Trio and Authority Zero to play to sold-out crowds of 1,000 to 5,000 in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Arizona in the first part of their Rock Against Bush tour, and recently released the first volume of a compilation album, featuring an impressive roster of old-school and pop punks, which sold more than 35,000 copies in two weeks. Instead of targeting young voters en masse, as a presidential campaign might, Punkvoter employs hard-edged, partisan tactics to mobilize its core audience.

"Roman Catholic Bishop Thomas John Paprocki says that any Catholic who votes for a Democrat very well may go to Hell, because a vote for any member of a party that supports sin makes the voter 'morally complicit.' Paprocki names the Log Cabin Republicans and 'pro-choice' (scare quotes his) Republicans as 'equally as wrong as their Democratic counterparts.'"
Then why are only Democratic voters going to hell? Besides, the claim cannot be true: they will only go to Purgatory, a place invented so that Roman Catholic priests in Mexico from Cortez to Calles could unburden the serfs (indigenous people) of their hard-earned centavos. Hitchens discusses indulgences in god is Not Great. Why would a good and all-powerful god put your loved ones in a special cyberspace where they must remain until the guy in a black suit and a little white collar takes your money to download them into God's hard drive?
And speaking of moral complicity, why do many thousands flock to the cathedrals each Sunday putting money in a plate so that child molesters would be given new parishes upon the discovery they have porked some acolyte or choir boy and, O.J.-like, forced civil litigation to redress grievances. If the coffers are running on empty it is because of the pay-outs to hopelessly-damaged young men who, if they remember the obscenities at all, feel lost in some horror movie. The current occupant of Castel Gondalfo knew all about the pedophile priests and did nothing to stop it. He had a U.S.-Vatican treaty to hide behind and he covered up lies and secrets and is thus guilty of obstruction of justice.
Since when is there an exception to laws making it a criminal act to not refer a matter to the Child Protective Services allowing priests a waiver?

Back from Mexico or would have responded sooner. Catholicism and, to a greater or lesser extent, the Protestant religions, regard Satan as an angel cast out of Heaven for rebelling against God. He is known as the "Deceiver" because he leads people astray from dogma. You and I are obviously devotees of Satan in the minds of many of these people, as witness the Georgia politician who said that evolution is a doctrine from Hell. The O.T. God said, "Thou shalt have no other Gods before me," thereby acknowledging the existence of other Gods. But, hey, at the time the fictional Mosheh took down (actually authored) the Decalogue, there were many rival deities. (Mosheh probably was Mohammed's greatest inspiration: man makes god to obtain the allegiance of the masses: if God said don't do it, it packs more punch than merely saying "I order you to do this or that and forbid you to do this and that.") Baal, for example, many, many others. If Satan were to be seen as a God, then surely his powers would equal those of Jehovah, so the Christians fine-tuned him, making him a rebellious angel. Today, he is the bugaboo of the religion. As we all know, if you are going to unite a people, you must have, or create, a common enemy. Satan fills the bill.
I love a saying of Aleister Crowley, that the Devil is the God of anyone you personally dislike. Satan and Lucifer are merely the Egyptian Typhon and Set. All religions have them, and monotheisms are absolutely dependent on them, as they inspire fear and anxiety. They are necessary as bugaboos, a common enemy so unsettling they become the focal point as a common enemy.
Mainly, Satan is a crutch. Remember the black comedian who crossdressed in makeup and said, "the Devil made me wear this dress." If evil can be blamed on a boogeyman, he takes on extraordinary qualities, and as we all know, extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence. Unfortunately, people go see little girls screw their heads counter-clockwise and come to a stop saying to a priest, "Your mother sucks cock in Hell," which only reinforces the either-or false dichotomy, what the late Aleister Crowley called the doings of Choronzon, Demon of Dispersion. (And BTW, the Anderson movie doesn't go into the fact that Hubbard's enlightenment on the road to Damascus was Crowleyanity.)
How can the priesthood be both celibate and sexually active with minors? I predict that the next Pope will issue a bull and make married clergy the norm.
Whatever moral authority the Roman Catholic Church may have exercised in the past was sacrificed to protect the church in the child molestation scandals of the last decade or so. So many priests (4000+) were involved with so many victims (10,000+) that no justification or excuse can be made. The church is an unquestionably evil institution and any good it may have done is far offset by the evil it has condoned.
I'm only a little surprised the RICO laws haven't been invoked. Seems like racketeering to me.
They certainly sacrificed whatever moral authority they had. But, I submit, that "moral authority" was, at best, a chimera. Over a millenium of bloodthirsty anti-semitism culminating in the Concordat with the Third Reich, the gleeful participation in the genocidal imperialism in the New World for fun and profit (including the slave trade), the intentional suppression of women and promotion of dysfunctional families with insane pronouncements on sex and reproduction, and now child torture and rape. The old Inquisition still exists. It's just been renamed as the Congregation of the Doctrine of Faith. And with this blood splattered past, when can you expect the "mea culpas" coming from the church? Here's a hint. The church did apologize about the wrongful conviction of Galileo for stating the earth was not the center of the unvierse. It was in the year 2000; 358 years after his death and 28 years after the last man walked on the moon. I'm not holding my breath.
I cannot believe (and must know) that you and I agree so completely on this issue, I think I shall refrain from discussing it. You already say precisely what I would say.

Phone, car companies collaborate to connect cars, phones
Motoring, there's an app for that
Eleven companies want to make it easier to connect your mobile gadgetry to your car, and to get the two talking a common language. They have formed the inevitable industry consortium to do it.
Said body is the Car Connectivity Consortium, and it's backed by phone manufacturers Nokia, Samsung and LG; in-car electronics firms Panasonic and Alpine; and motor makers Daimler, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Toyota and VW.
The group will promote the so-called "Terminal Mode standard" - a Nokia-developed specification for phone-to-car communications.
A big knob, yesterday
Terminal Mode takes in USB, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth links, and is intended to allow phone apps' output to appear on car screens - back-of-the-seat displays and dashboard panels - and be controlled by the entertainment system's knobs, buttons, touchscreen and steering wheel controls.
TM is largely based on existing, open standards. It uses UPnP to mediate exploratory talks between devices, while VNC (Virtual Network Computing) tech is used to remotely control the smartphone from the car's kit and to re-display what's on the phone's screen.
Nokia and co. are looking at adding near-field communications (NFC) and wireless charging to the spec.
Exciting tech... delayed
TM 1.0 is already available, and work is progressing on TM 1.1. This was due to have been published last month, but clearly Nokia has had other matters on its corporate mind.
Now it has ten other companies to call upon. The CCC will take over duties such as TM certification, no to mention finalising the next version of the spec, which will be published "within the next few months", the CCC said. Presumably, that's to allow the new members time to stick their oar in too.
Several consortium members are expected to present their first commercial products supporting the new standard later this year, the CCC promised. ®

Auburn's road agent spends more than Chester, Brookline
AUBURN - Since being elected road agent in 2006, Michael Dross has been paid close to $1 million out of his portion of the town budget while overseeing a department that has had its expenditures nearly triple since 2005.
According to town officials, Dross owns two pieces of heavy equipment, a truck and a pick-up truck, which he bills the town for using; he does not need approval from the Board of Selectmen to hire anyone. The road agent is responsible for snow plowing, road patching, gravel work, sanding, salting and more for the town's roughly 60 miles of roadways.
"The town is not spending any more money than a town of similar size. We get good work done this way, and we get more for the dollar instead of supporting a department of public works, which would have employees and equipment to maintain," Town Administrator Bill Herman said.
However, the town of Chester, with 63 miles of road and an elected road agent, spent roughly $477,000 on highways and streets from 2011 to 2012. Candia has roughly 45 miles of road, and the town spent $365,000 on highways and roads, while Brookline, also a road agent town, has about 50 miles of road and spent roughly $375,000 for 2012.
In 2012, Dross' department spent just over $913,000. In 2005, Dross' predecessor, Emerson Heald, had expenditures for Auburn's highway department that totaled roughly $371,000.
Dross also oversees a separate budget for road reconstruction, which has seen expenditures more than double in the last eight years. In 2005, the town's road reconstruction expenditures totaled roughly $306,000, while in 2012 Dross' totaled more than $780,000.
In 2005 Heald spent $675,000 out of his highway and road and road reconstruction budgets combined; Dross spent roughly $1.7 million in 2012.
"No, I have no comment, no comment on the budget. We will be doing budgets in a month or two, but I don't have a lot to say," Dross said.
For fiscal year 2013, the highway and road reconstruction budgets accounted for 36 percent of the roughly $5 million town budget. Selectman James Headd said that he hasn't heard anyone expressing concerns about Dross, his budgets or expenses.
"Mike Dross does an outstanding job for the town," he said.
Herman said the town has faced a larger number of natural disasters in recent history, and that Dross has been very proactive in trying to mitigate any potential hazard areas.
"Dross has been excellent; he has gotten rave reviews from both the budget committee and the Board of Selectmen," Herman said.
He said the town does not typically put projects out to bid, relying on Dross to assign the work to himself or a subcontractor. "We haven't put out a project to bid in about three years," Herman said.
Currently, the department's largest subcontractor is former road agent John Rolfe. Since 2006, his company, JH Rolfe, has been paid roughly $3,300,000 by the town for work it has been assigned to perform by Dross. In 2005, before Dross became road agent, JH Rolfe billed the town for roughly $75,000 worth of work. Herman said that no contract exists between Dross or JH Rolfe and the town for the work. Instead, vendors charge the town based on rates set by selectmen for equipment and labor.
The position of road agent is a three-year term. Dross's current term is set to end in 2015.

'Step Forward'
"They got a guilty plea and that's something they haven't been able to do, so it's certainly a step forward," Peter Henning, a former Justice Department attorney who is now a law professor at Wayne State University in Detroit, said in a telephone interview.
The Justice Department weighed the consequences to market confidence among the bank's trading counter-parties before entering a non-prosecution agreement with the UBS parent company, Breuer said at the news conference.
"Our goal here is not to destroy a major financial institution," he said. "By any fair criteria this is a very real, very robust and very forceful resolution."
Trader A
According to transcripts released by the U.K. Financial Services Authority, an employee identified as Trader A led efforts to influence Japanese Yen Libor submissions included paying brokers as much as 15,000 pounds ($24,400) a quarter and offering a payment to another for helping him keep that day's rate low. Trader A worked at UBS in Tokyo from 2006 to 2009 and directly contacted employees at other banks to influence their submissions at least 80 times.
"I need you to keep it as low as possible," Trader A wrote to the broker on Sept. 18, 2008, referring to six-month yen Libor. "If you do that ... I'll pay you, you know, $50,000, $100,000... whatever you want ... I'm a man of my word," according to the transcripts.
Meister said UBS's actions involved at least five interdealer brokers. "These brokers are supposed to be honest middlemen," he said. "The brokers here were anything but honest."
Monaco Yacht
"As one broker told a UBS derivatives trader, according to the statement of facts appended to our agreement with the bank, 'Mate, you're getting bloody good at this Libor game. Think of me when you're on your yacht in Monaco, won't you?'" Breuer said.
The financial penalties are more than triple the 290 million-pound fine Barclays Plc agreed to pay in June in the first settlement of Libor-rigging allegations. Barclays Chief Executive Officer Robert Diamond and Chairman Marcus Agius resigned in the face of political outrage over the scandal. UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti joined the bank in April 2011, after the period covered during the rate-rigging investigations.
"UBS's misconduct is, although similar in nature, considerably more serious than Barclays' because it was more widespread within the firm," the FSA said. "More individuals, including managers and senior managers, participated in or knew about the manipulation."
Libor, a benchmark for more than $300 trillion of financial products worldwide, is derived from a survey of banks conducted each day on behalf of the British Bankers' Association in London. Lenders are asked how much it would cost them to borrow from one another for 15 different periods, from overnight to one year, in currencies including dollars, euros, yen and francs.

BROADWELL, Ill., Feb. 10 (UPI) -- A man who lived in a humble farmhouse in Illinois left his estate to two strangers, actors Kevin Brophy and Peter Barton, the executor of the estate said.
Ray Fulk, 71, drove a car from the 1960s, had no water running in his farmhouse near Broadwell, and he bathed in a nearby creek, the State Journal (Springfield) Register said.
But his estate will amount to high six figures, and possibly $1 million, after Fulk's 160 acres are sold, the State Journal Register said.
Attorney Donald Behle, the executor of the estate, sent letters to Brophy and Barton, television and movie stars in the 1980s and 1990s.
Fulk died in July, likely of a heart attack, and only about 10 people attended the service. In his will, he refers to Brophy and Barton as his friends, the State-Journal Register said.
Brophy and Barton knew each other well and worked together for the 1981 movie "Hell Night."
Behle said he has spoken to the two stars about coming to central Illinois for a fundraiser in honor of Fulk, and the proceeds would be donated to animal shelters -- as Fulk had an intense love of dogs.

Competency evaluation ordered for Nashua man charged with killing sisterBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
January 29. 2013 3:37PM
NASHUA - It has been less than two weeks since Duane Rolfe has been charged with killing his sister in their Nashua home, and attorneys are already questioning his mental condition.
Rolfe, 65, is accused of murdering Judith Rolfe, 66, on Jan. 19 at their 8 Belmont St. home. Police say she died of blunt-force trauma to the head. On Tuesday, Duane Rolfe's attorney filed a motion seeking a competency evaluation for her client, which was granted by Judge Michael Ryan at the 9th Circuit Court, Nashua District Division.
Attorney Jacki Smith asked that the defense conduct its own evaluation to determine whether Duane Rolfe is competent to stand trial, and whether he could possibly be deemed insane.
"We think it is appropriate in this case to get the (competency) process moving sooner rather than later," Smith told the court during a brief hearing. Judith Rolfe died of multiple blunt-force injuries to the head with lacerations and contusions to the brain, according to investigators, who have refused to identify what type of weapon may have been used or what may have motivated the attack.
Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley said Tuesday the defense has decided to address the issue of mental competency now rather than waiting, noting communication issues with Rolfe.
"Every case is different. (Defense) counsel found it prudent to do it early," explained Hinckley. Smith told the court that the probable cause hearing originally scheduled for Tuesday could not occur because of the competency concerns. The judge ordered a follow-up hearing April 29.
"I expect that he will be indicted within 90 days," Ryan said of Rolfe. Meanwhile, Hinckley said prosecutors are continuing to gather information about what took place Jan. 19 that led to Judith Rolfe's death. Once the defense completes its competency evaluation, Hinckley said the state will have an opportunity to conduct its own, independent evaluation if that is deemed necessary.
"There are many variables to consider. There are a whole lot of contingencies," said Hinckley, declining to speculate on whether Rolfe may eventually be deemed incompetent to stand trial.
"We need to take the appropriate steps."
Rolfe is being held without bail, charged with two alternate counts of second-degree murder -- one alleging that he knowingly killed his sister and the second alleging that he recklessly killed his sister.
So far, authorities have remained tight-lipped about the woman's fatal beating. The siblings operated McDonald's kitchen shop in downtown Nashua for decades, according to friends, who said Judith Rolfe took care of her younger brother for many years.
The police affidavit detailing the crime has been sealed at the courthouse.

Native Hawaiian Law Center unveils publicationsUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Student & Community Outreach Coordinator, Law
The UH Mānoa William S. Richardson School of Law's Ka Huli Ao Center for Excellence in Native Hawaiian Law unveiled 'Ohia, its new periodic publication on Wednesday, April 24, 2013. The title 'Ohia was inspired by a line from a chant for King David Kālakaua–-ʻohia mai ā pau pono nā ʻike kumu o Hawaiʻi, gather up every bit of the basic knowledge of Hawaiʻi. 'Ohia features papers on cutting-edge issues impacting Native Hawaiian law that are written by Ka Huli Ao's Post-Juris Doctor Research Fellows. In addition to unveiling ʻOhia at its reception on Wednesday, Ka Huli Ao also featured legal primers, articles, and book chapters published by Ka Huli Ao Faculty.
Melody MacKenzie, Director of Ka Huli Ao explained the Center's scholarship as resulting from a "partnership with the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation, Kamehameha Schools, as well as support from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, and private foundation sources."
Susan Serrano, Ka Huli Ao's Director of Educational Development, described its published scholarship as, "advancing cutting-edge theory and concepts, fostering understanding of Native Hawaiian history, culture and social context, and linked to on-the-ground Native Hawaiian and other Indigenous justice issues."
The Post-Juris Doctor Research Fellows whose papers were published are Kaʻanoʻi Walk, a 2008 graduate, who wrote about Native court systems; Julian Aguon, a 2009 graduate, who researched and wrote about Native Hawaiians and international law; Nāpali Souza, a 2009 graduate. who researched, wrote, and taught a class on Native government and economic issues; and Stephanie Chen, a 2010 graduate of the University of Colorado School of Law who researched, wrote, and co-teaches a law clinic on ancestral land preservation.
Paul Nahoa Lucas from Kamehameha Schools and Kamanaʻopono Crabbe, the CEO of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs spoke at Wednesday's unveiling. Funding from the Kamehameha Schools has made the Post-Juris Doctor Fellowship program and the 'Ohia series possible. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs has also been a primary funder and partner on Ka Huli Ao's legal primers, developed primarily for community outreach.
Ka Huli Ao has also published four legal primers. The first on water law came out in 2011, and a primer on traditional and customary rights was published earlier this year. The latest two primers - on quiet title and partition actions and a second on Native Hawaiian iwi kūpuna or ancestral remains - have just been published. The primers are being used in a community outreach effort to inform the Native Hawaiian community of significant legal issues.

Six of the seven candidates met at the Greater Astoria Historical Society, located on the fourth floor of the Quinn building at 35-20 Broadway, for their first public debate.
State Senator Tony Avella, Councilman Leroy Comrie, director of Community Boards Barry Grodenchik, former Councilwoman Melinda Katz, State Senator Jose Peralta and Councilman Peter Vallone, Jr. took questions from the press and audience members.
Aside from businessman Everly Brown, the only one not in attendance, candidates took five minutes each to introduce their platform and two minutes to answer questions from the audience.
While Avella and Vallone Jr. left early for prior obligations, the rest stayed behind to take on topics ranging from their positions on public transportation, immigration policy and the DREAM act, as well as business development.
Laurajean Hawkins, state committeewoman and member of the Powhatan Democratic Club, moderated the event.
"We're proud to host the first full debate of Queens Borough President candidates this cycle," said Costa Constantinides, Democratic district leader and candidate for City Council. "It's important to provide our community with a forum for discussion and a venue to get to know how the candidates feel about their issues."
Shachar Sharon, a member of the Powhatan Democratic Club, was among the several audience members who presented questions for the candidates.
Sharon asked their position on Gov. Andrew Cuomo's proposal for using federal aid from Hurricane Sandy to buy out homes damaged by the storm, and their position on policy development regarding land use as the next borough president.
"I think it is a very important forum to have, to be able to listen to the candidates," she said.
As the stage became a platform for stump speeches and political rhetoric, Sharon felt as though it was a good way to start, and develop an understanding for the candidate's comprehension as well as see them all together tackling the issues.
"I think they were able to answer the first part of my question directly, the portion about the buyout proposal, and I know that the second part of the question was really complex," she said. "I was not really expecting them to go that deep, but I'm happy that I started the conversation and got things going."
The candidates are scheduled to meet again at the Eleanor Roosevelt Democratic Club's assembly at the Hollis Hills Jewish Center, 210-10 Union Turnpike, on March 21 at 8:15 p.m.

Fireworks show in Durham
NH College Football: Wildcats roll past ColgateBy ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
September 14. 2013 9:10PM
DURHAM - The University of New Hampshire announced on Friday afternoon that lights will be installed at Cowell Stadium in time for next season.
On Saturday afternoon, the No. 9-ranked Wildcat football team lit up Colgate University on the way to 53-23 triumph in front of 8,020 at Cowell.
The Wildcats scored early and often with a diversified offense and attacked the Raiders defensively as well.
Junior tight end Harold Spears had nabbed a pair of touchdown passes and a two-point conversion pass before the game was seven minutes old, staking UNH to a 16-0 lead.
"That's always big in our offense," Spears said. "Coach always talks about fast start. It doesn't really matter who scores or how we score as long as we jump up on them early and get points on the board. That's really all we're focused on."
Spears, in fact, got a little quick payback and the Wildcats didn't take long to get things rolling again, either.
They had lost their last three games overall. They also had a 10-game home win streak snapped in a 64-35 rout at the hands of Towson the last time they played in Cowell Stadium on Nov. 17.
Spears had a rough week last week in a 27-24 season-opening loss at Central Michigan when he committed a couple of penalties in key situations and dropped an important pass.
"Personally, I just wanted to bounce back and just play smarter and show I can do some of the things I did today," Spears said. "But as a team we wanted to bounce back, too. As a whole team, we were disappointed by last week's performance."
Bounce back they did.
The Wildcats evened their record at 1-1 and now have to wait two weeks for Game 3. They are off next Saturday and play at Lehigh, a Patriot League team like Colgate, on Sept. 28.
Colgate dropped to 0-3.
UNH piled up 551 yards of offense and held Colgate - which was missing its standout senior quarterback Gavin McCarney because of injury - to 278 yards. The numbers were even more lopsided in the first half at 336 total yards to 104.
The Wildcats owned the first half and despite a few costly penalties - rest assured, they will be among the teaching moments for coach Sean McDonnell and his staff over the next couple of weeks - were up 40-6 at the break.
"I thought defensively we did a real good job keeping the ball inside and in front of us for the most part and we had a couple of good stops on third down and fourth down," McDonnell said.
Junior linebacker Shane McNeely led the way with eight tackles and had one of UNH's two interceptions. Sophomore defensive back Hayden Knudson had the other.
McDonnell made note of the play of McNeely and sophomore Akil Anderson, also a linebacker, along with that of interior defensive lineman senior Sean McCann, junior Matt Kaplan of Franklin and sophomores Jullian Turner and Rashid Armand.
Offensively, McDonnell liked the way quarterbacks Andy Vailas, the starter and a junior out of Bedford, and sophomore Sean Goldrich spread the ball around.
UNH went up 19-0 on 22-yard field goal by Mike MacArthur, a senior from North Hampton, with 5:19 left in the first period. The Wildcat defense forced another punt, but returner Casey DeAndrade dropped the ball and the Raiders recovered on the UNH 43. Five plays later Colgate scored and it was 19-6 with 53 seconds to go in the quarter.
The Wildcats answered quickly. Jared Allison returned the kick 39 yards and Sean Goldrich, on his first play of the game, hit junior wide receiver R.J. Harris with a pass in the right flat. Harris took off and avoided some tackles and broke others for a 50-yard score.
Junior Nico Steriti scored on runs of 5 and 56 yards in the second quarter and the rout was on.
- - - - -- -
Mike Kelly, a sophomore out of Merrimack and Bishop Guertin High School in Nashua, scored his first career touchdown for UNH on a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter.
Plymouth 37, Mt. Ida 26
Senior running back Andrew Foglia scored four touchdowns - three on the ground and one with a catch - to lead the Panthers (1-1) in Newton Mass.
Foglia carried 26 times for 199 yards to lead the run-oriented Plymouth State attack. Foglia scored on runs of 34, 6 and 15 yards and caught a 21-yard scoring pass from senior Jake Tyler.
The Panthers rushed for 271 yards and passed for 28.
Jake Mathews, a senior defensive back out of Windham, and Mike Leonard, a sophomore linebacker out of Merrimack who played at Trinity High School in Manchester, led the PSU defense with 11 tackles each. Leonard also contributed an interception.
Stonehill 52, St. Anselm 24
Stonehill (1-1) claimed the eighth annual "Battle for the Ol' Bronze Hawk" thanks to quarterback Logan Meyer's five touchdown passes and 332 passing yards. Former Manchester Central player Steve Gryzywacz kicked seven PATs and added a 22-yard field goal. Jamal Johnson rushed for 170 yards.
Visiting St. Anselm (1-1) got rushing touchdowns from Keith Charles (18 carries, 95 yards) and Andrew Murphy (nine carries, 11 yards) and Charles added a receiving TD.

York, Pa. -- The York College baseball team got their first home win of the season on a brisk Wednesday at Jaquet Field, besting the visiting Elizabethtown College Blue Jays 9-5. The win puts the Spartans to 5-4 on the young season while the Blue Jays fall to 4-9.
The Blue Jays got off to an early lead thanks to Aaron Rahn's RBI single in the top of the second inning. While the Blue Jays were good early, it looked like York's offense was struggling to get going on the cold day.
Blue Jays answered right back in the fifth inning with another run. York pushed two more runs across the plate in the bottom half of the inning on a Pitzer RBI groundout and a Bartholomew RBI single as the Spartan lead grew to 6-2.
York went on to tack on another run in the sixth on a Frankenfield RBI single. The Blue Jays cut into the Spartan lead in the top of the sevent scoring three runs on a groundout by second basemen Ian Smith and Kyle Gable 2 RBI single that appeared to be a great catch by Frankenfield but was ruled a drop by the base umpire. Gable finished the day with four hits leading the Blue Jays. Gable's hit trimmed the Spartan lead to 7-5. The Spartans closed out the scoring with two more runs in the eighth on a Hershey two-run double.
Spartan offense went off for 15 hits, with every member of the starting lineup contributing with at least one hit. Porter led the team with three hits while he also scored twice for York. Hershey, Pitzer and Bartholomew all finished with two RBI each in the victory.
Senior starter Josh Kohn (Derwood, Md./Col. Zadok Magruder) picked up his first win of the season, tossing 5.2 innings with seven strikeouts. Sophomore Zach Phillipi (Levittown, Pa./Harry S. Truman) picked up the save, only allowing one hit in two innings of work. Philippi struck out two in earning his first save of the year.
Hoffstein suffered the loss as he allowed four runs on six hits with four walks and two strikeouts in 3.1 innings of work. He falls to 0-2 with the loss.
The Spartans will travel down to Salisbury on Saturday for a three game weekend series. The Spartans and Sea Gulls will play two on Saturday starting at 1:00 pm and then square off on Sunday in a nine-inning single game at 1:00 pm.

Techwise TV Episode 42 – EnergyWise
Stay tuned for this Thursdays episode of Techwise TV. I love their tagline "technology you can understand from geeks you can trust". Let me tell you first hand this is true. Some background on how this show evolved I think is worth a post. So we had recently done TWTV episode 36 on our solutions in the Data Center that improve energy efficiency and whether I like it or not I've been branded as the "Green" guy here so immediately the red flags went up from the shows head geek Jimmy Ray Purser. His background is in systems engineering so he has developed the valuable skill set in that line of work of weeding through the marketing quickly. A funny post from Jimmy on his thoughts here.I was able to get Jimmy on board for episode 36 but then just a few episodes later we came back with another "Green" solution, Cisco EnergyWise. Again, it was a tough sell to Jimmy but we brought him around. Robb and Valeire on the show were slightly easier. Basically how I did it was by pointing out some simple facts that show the relevance of energy management:1) Energy is far and away the largest unmanaged cost of any business today2) Energy costs (the kind for wall outlet electricity) have almost doubled in the last 4 years3) Many analysts project that energy costs will soon become the first or second largest cost for large enterprises4) We are anticipating a 20% reduction (absolute) the first year we deploy EnergyWise (we paid $150M USD last year for energy)5) Cisco EnergyWise is part of IOS and is based on a cloud approach to energy managementThat and the fact we rarely even use the term Green in any of our technical discussions, opting for sustainability at the highest level and quickly jumping to energy and the emissions that correlate. Not to mention the possibiity of real regulations around energy use and the efficiency thereof are closer than they've been since the Carter administration. So make sure to check this episode out to get the straight scoop on EnergyWise with Jimmy beating us up for you. We also have John Parello on the show who created the core code for it and he talks through how this is based on a cloud approach.For our beloved network managers out there the good news is that we have also simplified the larger network management approach in this version of IOS. In the new approach we allow for tagging of assets in order to establish energy domains. We also provide for criticality levels and different power states to be assigned which ensures the approaches viability for data center operations.If you do tune in you will see some genuine laughs among the group. I for one had a blast filming it with them and really enjoyed the healthy debate with Jimmy alla wecansolveit.org. The beauty of taking on energy as a service is everyone will see the obvious cost benefit of doing it. That and the simplicity of our approach is as elegant as it is pervasive. Oh yeah and don't forget about the Richards-Zeta acquisition which opens you up to a whole new world of networks to interface with and in some cases manage.Our energy future is here, now. Are you ready to manage it?Thanks for reading, hope to see you on the show where myself and a few other energy geeks will be answering questions live in the post show.

Food puzzles give your pet's mind and body a workout
Are your pets bored? Do they have lots of time on their hands with nothing to do?
No wonder so many dogs and cats are obese.
Dr. Marty Becker with Vetstreet.com believes food puzzles, often referred to as enrichment toys, can help.
"Each one is different," he said. "They have to be turned, dropped, twisted, manipulated in order for that kibble to pay out like a slot machine."
What they all have in common is that they require your pet to exercise his mind and body before being rewarded with a small bit of food.
"It's like Sudoku for a dog, or like solving the NY Times crossword puzzle," Dr. Becker said.
And yes, there are also food puzzles for cats.
One more benefit: food puzzles give your dog or cat something to do which can reduce the boredom that sometimes leads to destructive behavior.
Dr. Becker reminds us that not all pets are equally as proficient at food puzzles. You may have to help your dog or cat figure out where the food is hidden. But trust me, it won't take long before they get the hang of it.

Well, we made it home just over an hour ago after a very nice visit to Seattle. We had a great Christmas with family, and I got to hold Kylie (my niece) several times and give her a bottle too. She's just starting to roll over and is as cute as can be. She also just started eating and I had her in my lap at dinner - every time I brought a bite to my mouth she opened hers so wide that my brother finally had to give her some blueberry/banana mash so she could enjoy eating too. She likes books but mostly biting on them, of course. I was thinking after reading some of those books that maybe it wouldn't be that hard to write one for babies and maybe I should write a book for her. And my brother can illustrate it because he's a pretty good artist. Anyways just random thoughts.
My parents bought me a book of raw vegan recipes and gave me also a gift card to Kohl's. My brother and sis-in-law gave me a copy of their family pic and cash. I was so happy my dad's gift made it through the mail (the confirmation tag fell off the package, but it arrived safely on Monday) so I had something for everyone. My parents bought Ryan the Seafarers of Catan expansion set which we immediately played. We also played it today with my parents before we left. We drove to Tacoma on Wednesday and saw several friends as well, and visited with Ryan's aunt & uncle on Thursday. We felt very rested after our trip, though ready to get back to life as usual. I'm scheduled for 4 shifts next week.
Lovely to see Miss Holly back! I'm glad we were your resolution this year. I am resolving to write more and finish that book that still only has 10K words done. And enter the Challenge to compete for that cash. And make more raw vegan stuff. The book from my mom gives multiple good arguments for doing it.
Hope SisJ is doing better, Amy, and you as well. Buggies seem to be going around everywhere. We keep downing the supplements and sleeping as much as we can to stay healthy.
Running out of brainpower and I hope it's because the Benadryl is working. Ryan wants me to join him in tearing down the stage with his acting group in the morning. We'll see if I'm ready to get up then. If I go to bed right now I'll still only get 7 hours of sleep. Hope all y'all's weekend is starting out well and ends even better.
I'll leave you with a picture of absolute adorableness:
(not me, of course, but the baby)
