Read Full Review
There are a handful of laughs, but nothing to balance the onslaught of clichés.
A few smart laughs hint at what might have been, but thanks to sitcom-y mugging and a tepidness beneath the intended hilarity, David E. Talbert's romantic comedy is stuck in a holding pattern for much of its running time.
Patton lightens the aggravation, for the most part, by combining a likable presence with a knack for physical comedy and a willingness to hop into dumpsters, etc., as needed, making the most of the script's meager opportunities for comedy.
It would have worked better if the silly premise had been played for farcical satire, rather than following the cookie-cutter rules of the romantic comedy playbook.
Paula Patton is such a terrific actress that even in the ultra-tacky romantic comedy Baggage Claim, she gives a luminous, thought-out performance, not just walking through but digging into the role of an eager, nervous doormat with a people-pleasing grin.

Predictable romcom sends iffy messages about love, marriage.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Baggage Claim is a romantic comedy about a flight attendant who follows her exes on flights to see whether they can rekindle their old spark. Although there's only one actual sex scene (no actual nudity, thought the couple strips down to their underwear and gets into bed), there are plenty of references to doing it (i.e. "boning") and getting it on. Some high-end labels and products are featured, and strong language, while infrequent, includes "bitch," "a--hole," and "s--t." The movie's messages about romance and relationships are very mixed, ranging from the positive adage that it's not "getting married" that's important but "staying married" to the iffier ideas that you have to be married and have kids to be a true woman and that a strong woman needs to let her husband "lead."
Messages: On the one hand, there's a positive message about marriage being more than just a wedding day. William (whose parents were married for 40 years) tells Montana (whose mother has been married five times) that the "magic isn't in getting married, it's in staying married"). On the other hand, Montana seems desperate to be "anybody's woman," and her entire 30-day plan seems selfish in order not to be one-upped by her engaged baby sister. Her desire to be married in order to be thought of as "a lady" -- and her mom's message that being a woman means being married with kids -- isn't exactly empowering for young women. But Montana does eventually learn that love and marriage should be based on friendship and trust, not an arbitrary timeline.
Role models: William is an unconditional friend to Montana, even though she takes him for granted. Sam and Gail really want Montana to find love and are willing to put their jobs (and their spare time) on the line to help her find it (though, on the other hand, their characters are pretty stereotypical). Quinton, of all of Montana's suitors, is honest and kind about his intentions and hopes for their romantic future.
Violence: One woman threatens to kill her boyfriend when she believes he's in her apartment with another woman. She starts breaking things and screaming that she's going to beat him (and the other woman). Also some moments of physical comedy (like Mo falling out of a trash can or Sam and Gail play-slapping each other).
Sex: One sex scene (the woman strips down to her bra and panties as her lover takes off his shirt and pants on the bed), one scene in which a man is shirtless in a hot tub trying to coax a dressed woman to join him, and a few other kisses. Two people cheat on their partners. Gail refers to sex and her past experiences a lot (for example, she gives Montana a box of cranberry-flavored condoms), and Sam tells her that "everyone knows you like to bone."
Language: Infrequent strong language includes "s--t," "bitch," "a--hole," "damn," "idiot," and "hoochie."
Consumerism: Jimmy Choo shoes, Samsung Galaxy phone, Renaissance Hotel, Tiffany ring, Cartier bracelet.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Montana and other adults drink on the plane and at various dinners and parties. Montana gets drunk at a hotel.

Transfer news: Everton close to Aiden McGeady deal as Seamus Coleman talks planned
Roberto Martinez has revealed that Everton are close to finalising a deal to bring in Aiden McGeady this summer.
Last Updated: 10/01/14 9:24am
Martinez is looking to add to his squad during the current transfer window if the right players are available, and has made no secret of his admiration for McGeady after trying to sign the Republic of Ireland winger when he was in charge of Wigan Athletic.
However, he does not expect to secure McGeady's services until the end of the season, when his contract with Spartak Moscow is set to expire.
"We are very close to a deal with Aiden for the summer, that is true. You know I like him as a player," said Martinez, quoted in the Daily Mirror.
"But as things stand now I don't think we will be able to do anything for January because there are too many difficulties. Many things can happen in the window, but right now it would be difficult."
Martinez does not want to discuss in too much detail some of his other targets, having been linked with a move for Blackpool's Tom Ince.
"I like Tom. As a young, English talent he's a phenomenal footballer," said the Everton boss.
"But it would be unfair of me to talk about him because he's got a very important second half of the season with Blackpool and it would be unfair to bring speculation to him.
"A young, English footballer of that calibre would interest a lot of teams, but it's not for me to mention."
Martinez is determined to keep the nucleus of his current squad intact, and intends to give right-back Coleman a new contract in the summer.
The 25-year-old has become an increasingly vital figure at Goodison Park since joining the club in 2009, and has been arguably the Premier League's outstanding right-back so far this season.
"I'm sure at the end of the season we will look at his contract," said Martinez. "His role in the team is growing, he is getting more important.
"He is happy at Everton and has a long-term contract but I always said that players that do well and perform, it is my intention to sit down in the summer and reassess.
"That could be bad for everyone with big contracts as well! He deserves a reward. He has been terrific. His goalscoring record in that position is... and it's not that he has been fortunate, he has put balls in the top corner.
"He has created at least two good opportunities in every game and has been getting better in taking those chances and is getting better.
"He is getting stronger in the build-up play, in the positional play, and growing as a player. He is a young man but the sky is the limit."

Pacers cruise past Magic for 115-86 win
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Indiana's offense had no problem handling Danny Granger's absence on Friday night.
Paul George had 25 points and Tyler Hansbrough added 18 as the Pacers used a big first half to roll past the Orlando Magic 115-86.
Indiana scored 30 points off 21 Orlando turnovers and also connected on 11 3-pointers in the victory.
The offensive eruption came after a late-game offensive meltdown against Boston on Wednesday night that ended in a last-second loss.
"It's important," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said of having a bounce-back win. "We felt like we let a game slip away clearly. ... This league is about how you respond to situations like that. And we responded in a big time way."
The Pacers ended a three-game regular-season losing streak to the Magic. It was also their second straight game without Granger, who is expected to miss a week resting a sore left knee.
Indiana was equally tough on the defensive end, where it came in allowing 89.5 points per game.
The Pacers' attention now turns to a Sunday trip to Miami, where the Pacers will look to wrap up a 3-0 regular-season sweep. They were also the last team to beat the Heat, who ran their winning streak to 17 games on Friday night.
"We hit some shots," Hansbrough said. "We were on point tonight. I was trying to take it one game at a time. But now that it's over, I'm excited about going down there. It'll be a fun game. They're rolling and I'm excited about it."
Arron Afflalo had 19 points to lead the Magic, who looked to be gaining some traction after narrowly missing an upset of Miami on Wednesday.
The Magic have lost five of their past six and haven't posted a home win since Feb. 10.
Coach Jacque Vaughn said his team never overcame their mistakes.
"They capitalized on it and then some of those turnovers were ... something that we have been taking care of pretty much over the past few games turnover-wise. But not tonight," he said.
Indiana struggled offensively in its 11-point loss in Orlando in January, but had no repeat issues on Friday as it built a 26-point lead early in the second half.
The biggest improvement came at the 3-point line, where they connected on 11 of 19 attempts.
The Magic attempted to shake up their lineup Friday by starting Tobias Harris at power forward in place of rookie Andrew Nicholson.
Harris, in his second year out of Tennessee, made his first start in a Magic uniform since coming over from Milwaukee in a trade deadline deal.
He came in averaging nearly 17 points in his first seven games, but struggled against the Pacers' David West, who enticed him into quick fouls at the beginning of each half. Harris finished with just seven points in 21 minutes.
"They're a tall, long team, so they take up a lot of the lane," Harris said. "I thought tonight we should have got out on the break more and run them. They're a team with a lot of size. Just space the court. That's something we've got to work on."
With just a short trek down to South Beach now, George said he's looking forward to testing himself against the East's top team.
He also knows the Heat will be out to keep their winning streak going.
"We're excited for the matchup," he said. "We know it's going to be a tough game. They've been playing so well. And we being the last team that beat them, we know everybody's going to be up for that game. It should be a fun game to watch."
Notes: It was the Pacers' first regular-season victory in Orlando since December 2007. ... Orlando is 9-24 at home. ... The addition of Harris marked the Magic's 20th different starting unit they've used this season. ... Orlando celebrated Noche Latina, in appreciation of its Hispanic fan base, by wearing "El Magic" jerseys for the first of three games this season. The Magic will also wear the jerseys in their March 22 home game against Oklahoma City and the March 25 matchup with Miami.

ROME (AP) — Italian Premier Enrico Letta's reconstituted governing coalition comfortably survived confidence votes Wednesday that were called after Silvio Berlusconi jumped to the opposition.
The Letta government easily won the votes in both the upper and lower chambers of parliament with the backing of a new center-right party that split from Berlusconi.
In a speech to the lower Chamber of Deputies, Letta called for a "new start" and outlined his priorities for 2014, including stimulating the economy, reducing unemployment and reforming Italy's electoral law, which many view as contributing to Italy's political instability.
Letta took power seven months ago after no party won a secure majority in the Senate, forcing an uneasy coalition of long-time political foes. Berlusconi failed to bring down the government on Oct. 2, after party dissidents refused his call to withdraw support.
Berlusconi shifted his party to the opposition last month after the Senate took away his seat due to his tax fraud conviction.
"I have always considered this experience as a passage from a situation of conflict between toxic enemies to a system of healthy competition between adversaries," Letta said.
Still there were signs of tension during Letta's address. He took on the leader of the anti-establishment 5 Star Movement, Beppe Grillo, for having invited police officers to refuse protection to Italian politicians being targeted in grass-roots protests cropping up in Italy.
Letta said institutions must command respect "even more so during bitter periods," and he warned against infusing politics with "illegitimate actions and words that endorse violence."

TURKU, FINLAND--(Marketwire - Feb 26, 2013) - BIOTIE THERAPIES CORP. STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE 26 February 2013 at 7:00 p.m.
Biotie: UCB to license worldwide rights to tozadenant in Parkinson's disease from Biotie
Biotie and UCB announced today that UCB has licensed worldwide exclusive rights to Biotie's tozadenant (SYN115), a selective inhibitor of the adenosine 2a receptor, currently in development for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. As a result, Biotie will receive a one-time fee payment of USD 20 million from UCB. In addition, the parties have amended their original license agreement, such that Biotie will now conduct phase 3 development of tozadenant in return for additional payments from UCB relating to defined development, regulatory and commercialization milestones.
"UCB is committed to improving the lives of people with Parkinson's disease and currently provides Neupro® a transdermal dopamine agonist for the symptomatic treatment of all stages of idiopathic Parkinson's disease," said Professor Dr Iris Loew-Friedrich, Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President UCB. "Biotie is a valuable partner and the decision to in-license follows the positive top-line results of the phase 2b study. We were impressed by the performance of Biotie and decided that they are the ideal party to continue to spearhead the development of tozadenant. We look forward to collaborating with Biotie in the on-going clinical development. With the addition of the novel compound tozadenant to UCB's development portfolio we should be able to further contribute to the advancement of the treatment and care for people living with Parkinson's disease."
The phase 2b study was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of tozadenant as adjunctive therapy in levodopa-treated Parkinson's patients with end of dose wearing off. Results from the phase 2b study are expected to be presented at upcoming medical conferences and in scientific publications. Patient enrollment in the phase 3 program is currently planned to commence by the first half of 2015.
The original agreement between UCB and Biotie was announced in 2010. Under the terms of the original agreement UCB will make an immediate one-time payment of USD 20 million to Biotie and Biotie will remain eligible to a potential additional USD 340 million in future milestone payments. Under the revised agreement, Biotie will be eligible for additional payments in the low triple digit millions in total over the next six years based on the successful completion of defined development, regulatory and commercialization milestones. Further financial details of the agreement are not disclosed. UCB and Biotie will collaborate on the on-going clinical development and UCB will be responsible for the manufacture and commercialization of tozadenant.
"We are thrilled with the opportunity to continue the development of tozadenant in partnership with UCB," said Timo Veromaa, President and Chief Executive Officer of Biotie. "We are encouraged by the vote of confidence provided to us by UCB to continue with us the development of tozadenant and the very significant incremental financial resources that we will be given to complete the clinical work."

About Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's disease is a chronic, degenerative neurological disease. It is commonly associated with movement (motor) symptoms such as tremors (uncontrollable shaking), rigidity (stiffness or muscle tensing) and bradykinesia (slowness and loss of spontaneous movement), but also commonly causes underlying symptoms such as mood and cognitive impairment, pain, depression and fatigue.
About tozadenant (SYN115)
Tozadenant is an orally administered, selective inhibitor of the adenosine 2a (A2a) receptor being developed initially for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. A2a receptors are expressed in high concentration in the striatum of the brain and are thought to play an important role in regulating motor function. Tozadenant blocks the effect of endogenous adenosine at the A2a receptors, resulting in the potentiation of the effect of dopamine and inhibition of the effect of glutamate at the mGluR5 receptor.

NEW YORK (AP) — In almost every corner of the world, golden arches symbolize something. So does a red bulls-eye. The same is true for a half-eaten apple. Ditto for the well-known swoosh.
The most iconic company logos such as those of McDonald's, Target, Apple and Nike are visual cues that are seared onto people's consciousness without their even realizing it.
That kind of influence has always been valuable, but now it's priceless. Companies are fighting for the shrinking attention spans and wallets of consumers who increasingly get their information on tiny cellphone screens. And as companies expand into emerging markets, images matter more than words. The brand identity that a logo brings can pay off, and companies know it.
That's why Ford's executive chairman Bill Ford described the day that the automaker got back its signature blue oval as "one of the best days I can remember." The company gained back the logo along with other assets in May after having used them as collateral for a $23.5 billion loan six years earlier.
"Logos are a symbol of who you are, a rallying point, an identification of the company that lets you stand out from others," said Robert Passikoff, president of Brand Keys Inc., a New York customer research firm that measures company image.
What's better, people like logos. LogosQuiz, a smartphone application that tests people's knowledge of company logos, is one of the top free games on Apple's iPad tablet and iPhone. And a short animated French film made up of nothing but logos called "Logorama" won an Oscar in 2010.
That kind of hype translates into dollars for companies. Interbrand, which tracks brand values, of which the logo is a key part, values Coca-Cola's brand at $71.86 billion; McDonald's at $35.59 billion, Nike's at $14.53 billion and Ford's brand at $7.5 billion.
Here is a look at how companies create and maintain iconic logos.
Target Corp.'s bullseye was born when department store operator The Dayton Co. decided to open a discount chain in Minneapolis in 1962.
Stewart K. Widdess, Dayton's publicity director, was given the task of naming the company so shoppers wouldn't confuse it with the department-store chain. After considering 200 other names, Widdess came up with both the name "Target" and the now ubiquitous red-and-white bullseye.
"As a marksman's goal is to hit the center bulls-eye, the new store would do much the same in terms of retail goods, services, commitment to the community, price, value and overall experience," Widdess has been quoted as saying.
The company at first considered using a bullseye with a few bullet holes in it. That, however, didn't seem appropriate for a family store.
The first logo had the name "Target" written in black over a red and white bullseye with three red circles and two white circles. The store's first print ad campaigns used the Target as their theme with the tagline: "Aim straight for Target discount stores."
The bullseye was simplified in 1968 with a red center, one white circle and one red circle, without the name on top of it. Experts say that logo stuck because it embodies the two hallowed traits of a good icon: it's simple yet distinctive.
"It's incredibly eye catching in general and it's a simple, clean design," said Allen Adamson managing director of branding firm Landor Associates. "It's one of the strongest brandmarks in the marketplace."
Of course, Target had something else on its side, too: time. It's more difficult to come up with a memorable logo today than 50 years ago because many iconic symbols — such as the bullseye — already are trademarked.
Would McDonald's Corp. be the world's biggest fast-food chain if it kept its original symbols - the McDonald family crest or "Speedee" the chef - instead of the Golden Arches?
McDonald's was started in 1948 in San Bernardino, Calif., by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald. But by the early 1950s, the Oakbrook, Ill.-based company began to franchise and grow rapidly when businessman Ray Kroc bought the company.
In 1953, architect Stanley Meston designed the first franchised building, in Phoenix, Ariz., with red and white tiles and a sloped roof. Dick McDonald thought the design was a bit boring, so he sketched in the now-famous yellow arches, dubbing them the "Golden Arches," according to Mike Bullington, McDonald's archivist.
But Meston didn't like them. So McDonald's hired sign maker George Dexter to create them. He added in yellow neon and the arches soon became emblematic of McDonald's restaurants.
Still, they weren't yet part of the logo. Originally, McDonald's used the McDonald family crest, a shield with a dragon, fish and boat icon on it, as the logo. When it began to open franchise restaurants, road signs incorporated a single arch along with a chef character called "Speedee," which was intended to represent McDonald's "Speedee Service System."
It wasn't until 1968 that the double arches became the company's official logo. It was designed by Paul Schrage, then McDonald's chief marketing officer, and D'Arcy, their advertising agency.
Ironically, that was about the same time actual arches were disappearing from stores, as the company expanded and remodeled old stores. Most arches were gone from McDonald's locations by the end of the 1960s, but the Golden Arches of the logo remained. In fact, they've become such an icon that they've hardly been altered since 1968, and are easily recognized globally.
"As a symbol, it's simple and sticky," says Adamson, the branding expert. "Show the logo to kids without the word and they'll know it's a hamburger and French fries."
Not every logo is a hit, of course, especially when a company tinkers with a beloved one. In 2010, without any announcement or warning, Gap Inc. changed its white type-on-navy "blue square" logo, which it had introduced more than a decade earlier. The new logo had a lowercase "gap" with a blue box in the right hand corner.
Officials revamped the logo at a time when the retailer, which had brought khakis to the masses in the 1990s, had lost its fashion edge. Sales were slipping.
Gap officials were hoping the new logo would communicate to customers that it was updating its image with more modern designs of jeans, pants and other clothing. But that message was lost on customers.
After the new logo was out, Gap fans voiced their discontent with it on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. A fake Twitter feed, (at)GapLogo, even was created to lampoon the move (it currently has more than 3,600 followers).
"Our Creative Director just quit, the ACD is in a corner drinking and muttering to himself and Jenna the intern is softly crying. JUST GREAT," the feed tweeted humorously the day after the flap.
About a week later, the retailer decided to reinstate its old logo.
The lesson? It's tempting for a company with a well-known logo to want to tinker with the image to boost a sagging reputation. But that's often a mistake since logos become more recognizable, and thus more valuable, the longer they've been around. And of course, a logo change can't solve all of a company's problems.
"We remind clients that a logo is not going to change people's minds, but it can stay in the mind and burn into memory," said Sagi Haviv, a partner at Chermayeff & Geismar, a firm that designed the Chase bank logo, among others.
Sometimes, though, a revamped logo is just what a company needs.
A new logo can be critical when a company is trying to get the word out about a new message. For instance, when the industry has gone through substantial changes or there are different company services being offered.
"If the character of the mark no longer jibes with the positioning of the company or product then it makes sense to change," says Haviv, from Chermayeff & Geismar.
Aetna, the big insurer, revamped its logo in January to address changes in the health care industry. Health care legislation that is likely to be phased in over the next several years includes a system in which consumers can by insurance through new online marketplaces.
For insurers like Aetna, that means they will have to more actively market their products to consumers — not just businesses. In order to do that, Aetna decided it would need a more consumer-friendly logo.
"We are much more focused on consumers and consumers have a much greater voice," said Belinda Lang, vice president of Brand, Digital and Consumer Marketing, for Aetna. "The logo needed to be effective in a digital, mobile and social environment."
Aetna worked with branding firm Siegel + Gale to revamp its logo: a blue wordmark or logo that is only text, with a stick figure of a person. The result? The new logo is a purple wordmark with a lower case font and linked letters. The stick figure is gone.
The company says the response to the logo has been positive. Lang says the logo has gotten good reviews in the design community and employees, an important group to win over, have said they like the new logo.
"I continually get emails about how much they love pulling out their new business cards," she says.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Arkansas Nursing Home Fired Employee in Retaliation for Her Complaining About Its Hiring An Accused Sexual Harasser, Federal Agency Charged
MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. - Care Manor Nursing and Rehab Center in Mountain Home, Ark., will pay $22,500 to a former employee and furnish other relief to settle a lawsuit for retaliation filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency announced today.
The EEOC's suit charged Care Manor with violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when it fired an employee in retaliation for her protest over the hire of an employee who, she said, had sexually harassed her at another facility.
Retaliation for opposing discriminatory conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit (Civil Action No. 3:11-CV-03089-PKH) in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, Harrison Division, after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
In addition to the monetary relief, the consent decree settling the suit, approved by U. S. District Judge P.K.

Robert, Quadrafilars come in different wave lengths and have different paterns. The most common is a 1/2 wave 1/2 turn configuration. If you make two, phase them, and point them at a 20 degree angle up from the horizon this will give you good coverage and all you need to do is swing them around when the satellite is overhead. If you live as most of us do in a metropoliton area, coverage below 5 degrees is a dream. Yet 70 % of the time the satellite is less than 20 degrees of elevation. If the satellite is overhead it is very close to you needing no gain, the gain is needed at the horizon. A 1/2T 1/2Wave quadrafillar pointed up has full gain at the zenith with a 120 degree beam width giving you unneeded performance for only 20 % of an overhead pass.

Mom Workouts
5 Ways Moms Can Fit in Fitness
Finding time away from the kids to exercise can sometimes feel more daunting than the actual workout. With that crazy, superhuman schedule of yours, your fitness routine doesn't have to fall to the wayside. Check out our suggestions for squeezing in a workout and burning a few extra calories without hitting the gym. There's no reason your workout (aka "me time") has to be cut from your "to-do" list again.
- At sports practices: School is starting back up and so do afterschool sports. While your little players are breaking a sweat, you can too. Instead of hovering in the stands or running errands, take that hour to yourself. Go for a run around the field's perimeter or take a walk through the neighborhood. Let's get real: an hour isn't enough time to accomplish many errands, but it is enough time to get up and get going!
- Between errands: The next time you're on carpool duty or running to the store (no pun intended), take note of local gyms, studios, and parks on your usual path. Choosing a convenient option that easily fits into your routine will make your workout feel seamless. A quick run or workout in the park won't waste any extra travel time.
- During vacation: We know your vacations probably aren't spent leisurely lying on the beach. Take advantage of time off with your kids by planning active activities the whole family will enjoy. Wherever you are, explore hiking trails or spend the day playing in the pool together. Kids will love the adventure, and you will be happy to sweat without any scheduling or extra effort.
- During downtime: Use those rare moments of peace and tranquility for a cardio burst. While your kids are napping, pop in a workout DVD or cue up a 10-minute Class FitSugar video. Or during TV time, fit in a quick total body workout that can be done right beside the couch!
- Exercise with the kids: Spend time with your tykes by working out together. Go on walks together or, if you have littler ones, invest in a jogging stroller like this Phil & Teds Dot Buggy ($450). If your children are a bit older, take the bikes out and explore your town. You'll find their energy makes them the best workout partners a mom could ask for.

Bay State man shot in head in Nashua is criticalBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
January 10. 2014 9:23PM
NASHUA — City police continue to search for the people responsible for a Thursday night shooting that left a Massachusetts man in critical condition, saying they have identified at least one possible suspect.
Police say Danny Vorn, 22, of 42 N. Street in Lowell, Mass., was shot in the head at 8:48 p.m. on Thursday outside of 6 Rochette Ave.
When authorities arrived, they found the victim unconscious and suffering from a single gunshot wound to the back of the head, said Lt. Denis Linehan.
"His condition hasn't changed. He is in critical, but stable condition," Linehan said Friday evening. Vorn was airlifted to Boston Medical Center for treatment of his injuries.
Linehan said that witnesses have reported seeing at least two, possibly three males in the area at the time of the crime.
"We have not made any arrests," said Linehan, adding at least one possible suspect has been identified by authorities. The Nashua Police Department is continuing to follow leads on the shooting, and neighbors are cooperating with the investigation, he said.
At least one of the people connected with the shooting is from Nashua, Linehan said. He would not predict when an arrest could take place, but said the shooting is a priority by the department.
"We are certainly doing everything we can to solve this," he said, adding that investigators are still trying to determine why Vorn was in the Gate City.
The shooting does not appear to be random, said Linehan, who said the suspects are associated with the victim.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call police at 603-594-3500, or the Nashua Crimeline at 603-589-1669.

Or perhaps multi-dimensional savings; we can't pretend to know what Target sees when it stares into the void. Mark notes, "The cookies were on sale, as indicated. The cascade, I had a coupon for it to be free. Total savings should be $4.23. The receipt says $7.37. Maybe it's a conspiracy since it is the Love Field (near the airport) in Dallas where Southwest flies only 737s." That's as good an explanation as any, Mark. Maybe you should work for Target?

One interesting note regarding the schedule from ESPN.com Pat Yasinskas, who covers the NFC South:
When the Eagles came to Atlanta last year, the Falcons were banged up with injuries and Philadelphia made it a point to showcase Michael Vick against his former team. The Atlanta brass was too classy to publicly complain about it. But there were plenty of people within the organization who were furious with Philadelphia coach Andy Reid. They'll get a chance to pay him back Oct. 17 when they go to Philadelphia.

Rabbitohs run over erratic Eels
The South Sydney Rabbitohs have opened their account for 2011 with a comprehensive 32-18 victory over the Parramatta Eels in front of 22153 fans at ANZ Stadium tonight.
The action got underway in controversial circumstances after just four minutes when the Eels appeared to cross out wide through winger Uaisele, but referee Matt Cecchin ruled fullback Jarryd Hayne's pass as forward. Replays subsequently showed the Eels may have been unlucky, but their bad luck would continue two minutes later when second rower Andrew Lasalo was penalised for a double movement. Again, replays suggested the Eels were unlucky not to open their pointscoring account on this occasion. But the Rabbitohs would be the first team to score points in the ninth minute through fullback Rhys Wesser. Centre Greg Inglis, berated by the South Sydney faithful would have a hand in the try, stepping off his left foot, before passing and giving Wesser an untouched passage to the tryline. The Eels hit back minutes later through halfback Jeff Robson. Eager to make amends after missing the tackle on Inglis which led to the Rabbitohs first try, the halfback threw a dummy which was fallen for by Dave Taylor, as he crossed alongside the posts. 10 minutes later, the Rabbitohs would score the try of the opening half of action. This time, Wesser turned provider, delivering an amazing flick pass out the back into the waiting arms of Inglis. The centre looked to have passed early, but winger Fetuli Talanoa wrong-footed Eels fullback Jarryd Hayne to score in the corner. But the Eels would hit back in the shadows of halftime. Journeyman centre Chris Walker latched onto a perfectly timed Hayne pass to score out wide, despite the best efforts of Rabbitohs centre Dylan Farrell to hold him up. Burt's sideline conversion sent both sides to the halftime break locked at 12-all.
The Eels got off to the worst possible start to the second half when second rower Ben Smith couldn't control Chris Sandow's tricky restart after halftime. Fetuli Talanoa scored from the ensuing set of six after a perfect Dave Taylor around-the-corner pass extended the Rabbitohs lead to 18-12. Unfortunately for the Eels, that would be a sign of things to come as Fuifui Moimoi was sinbinned in the 47th minute after showing dissent to referee Matt Cecchin. Sandow's penalty goal attempt ensured the Rabbitohs pulled more than a converted try clear. The boys from Redfern took advantage of the extra man for 10 minutes when Inglis crossed out wide, brushing off some feeble attempted tackles by the Eels on their own goal-line. But Michael Crocker would score the try of the match in the 64th minute as second rower Tyrell caused all sorts of problems for the Eels left hand side defence. Tyrell's pass saw winger Nathan Merritt tiptoe down the sideline, before kicking a centring kick back towards Crocker who was trailing through the middle. The final points of the evening came through Eels front rower Moimoi who looked to make amends for his sin-binning as he charged onto a short ball from halfback Jeff Robson to score alongside the posts and round out the scoring.
The Rabbitohs will look to build on tonight's performance when they host Manly next Friday night at Bluetongue Stadium, while the Eels will look to bounce back against the Cowboys next Saturday night at Parramatta Stadium.

Joint disorder is the #1 chronic condition affecting up to 25% of dogs. Yet less
than 15% of dogs afflicted with joint disease actually receive care, thus
reducing the quality of life for the animal. Injury, repeated stress, excess
weight, poor diet, and genetic predisposition can contribute to unhealthy
joints. There are effective treatment options available and significant
differences among them.
When the Healthy Joint Becomes Unhealthy
In healthy conditions, the natural joint building blocks, cartilage and synovial
fluid, reduce friction and act as a shock absorber. The body makes these joint
building blocks normally by producing glycosaminoglycans, or GAGs. These GAGs
consist of glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid. In the
unhealthy joint, production of these joint building blocks is impaired. The
animal's body is unable to keep up with demand for building blocks, resulting in
irritation, inflammation, pain, and decreased mobility.
Common Signs of Unhealthy Joints
Pet guardians can easily recognize signs of unhealthy joints in their dog or
cat. For dogs, one might notice decreased endurance, stiffness following
activities, inability to jump into the car or onto furniture, hesitation getting
up, difficulty with stairs, and stumbles or "bunny hops." Cats tend to show
signs of joint disorder by reduced grooming, due to pain when twisting or
turning. Cat owners may also notice long and overgrown toenails, since
scratching hurts the toes and feet. Also, joints may be swollen and seem painful
when touched.
Treatment Options
Pet guardians have many options to treat unhealthy joints in their dogs and
cats, but they fall primarily into two different categories. There are
pharmaceutical, or drug, options and there are natural alternatives. Drug
options include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which block the
production of prostaglandins associated with pain and inflammation; COX-2
inhibitors, which target specific prostaglandins, and Aspirin/Ascriptin®, which
reduces pain. These drugs are very good at blocking pain and decreasing
inflammation. They do not however add to the body's joint lubricants or
biochemical process. Because of the often unacceptable side effects and inherent
mechanisms of NSAIDs, there has been a market push toward natural alternatives.
Natural treatment, uses alone or with a drug option, has demonstrative benefits.
The Natural process supplies the body with the joint building blocks-
glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid. This is what the pet's body would
provide in a healthy situation. Complete Natural Alternatives also provide
select ingredients such as herbs to increase circulation, decrease inflammation
and slow oxidative damage allowing the body to repair and rebuild the affected
Key Active Ingredients in Natural Treatment Alternatives:
Non-complete vs. Complete Formulas
If a dog or cat with unhealthy joints receives no treatment, recovery is not
likely due to continuing pain, swelling and the body's inability to produce
enough of the joint building blocks. This will lead to a less comfortable and
less active life for the pet.
If a dog or cat with unhealthy joints receives an incomplete formula, containing
only glucosamine and/or chondroitin sulfate, repair of the joint is enabled but
the recovery of the pet is not optimized, since these ingredients do not address
the inflammation and oxidative free radicals.
If a dog or cat with unhealthy joints receives a complete formula that combines
the joint building blocks with ingredients to decrease inflammation, increase
circulation, remove free radicals and enhance absorption, optimal and
accelerated recovery will result.

About meAs an eternal traveler and restless soul, I am always searching for ways to design my life. I have lived and worked in 7 different countries, and traveled to many more. Discovering new places, new people is what I love. My favourite thing is checking out local supermarkets for food products, have a taste of the local cuisine, and look at the arts & crafts shops. Of course a bit of sightseeing (historical, cultural, pure design, artistic,...) is a must too. Inspired to work with semi-precious metals, wood and other recycled materials, I have turned my creative energies towards craft based design, setting up a home and workshop in the countryside. Appropriately, My name means Hope. "Hope is the dream of a soul awake" is the personal statement. With Eternal Traveler - Design your life! I aspire to create a creative environment for functional art and life design. And with this reach out to like minded people.

LEESBURG, Fla. – Greenville Baseball (1-10) clinched the first win of the 2011 season Friday, as they split a double-header with the Green Knights of St. Norbert College (4-6). The GC club dropped the opener 13-9, but bounced back in the nightcap to defeat St. Norbert 7-6 behind a late inning rally at Leesburg's Pat Thomas Stadium.
Game one opened with Greenville jumping out to a quick 2-1 lead after one. A clutch two RBI single by senior Justin Hubbard scored both Kenny Trager and David Massengill giving GC the advantage. Another RBI single in the second by Kyle Hobar delivered the Panthers a 3-2 lead after the second inning.
A big third inning stretch by St. Norbert helped the Green Knights build an 8-3 lead, delivered by a tandem of key hits. SNC's Jordan Powers and Matt Hannon slugged a two-run single and a two-run double, respectively, in the third to stretch the margin.
GC roared back in the top of the fourth, compiling six runs on five hits to push the Panthers past the Green Knights 9-8. Greenville got big production from Hobar who added to his already stellar performance with two more RBI's coming of a well placed double, while Kenny Trager slugged his own two RBI double in the next at bat.
However, St. Norbert College would answer in the fifth with three runs, and add two more in the sixth to rally for the win. Green Knight Ryan Way had a three-run home run in the fifth to put the Green Knights ahead and seal the victory 11-9.
SNC's Kyle Mahlik picked up the win in relief, going scoreless innings while allowing one hit and no walks with three strikeouts.
Panther freshman Cody Hinterscher was dealt the loss in the opening contest giving up five earned in 1.1 innings of work.
In what was the final contest of the Florida road trip, game two saw St. Norbert lead 6-1 going into the bottom of the sixth in the nightcap before the Panthers rallied with five runs in the sixth and one in the seventh to pull a heroic comeback effort.
Senior Daniel Covert shined in the capper, pitching 5.2 innings while striking out five batters, and surrendering three earned. Covert also went four-for-four offensively in the DH role with a run scored.
Though only dealing 1.1 innings from the mound, sophomore Scotty Voyles picked up the win for the Panthers facing six batters and giving up two hits.
Greenville controlled the plate in the final innings, spearheaded by several key Panther performances. Cole Lawson went two-for-two with two RBI, Alex Quirin batted two-for-four while adding two RBI and a run scored, and Ryan Siddle went one-for-one in his appearance and posted two RBI.
Though the Panthers struggled to find consistency for much of the 2011 spring break road trip, the squad seemed determined to get its groove heading into the final day of action. "Heading into Friday, we knew we really needed to put a full game together," said head coach Lynn Carlson. "It feels good to finally see all of the pieces fall into place and pick up the win. I'm really proud of our guys for battling through the adversity."
Greenville Baseball will return to the diamond Friday, March 25, as they again play visitor in an afternoon contest against SLIAC foe Eureka College. The game is scheduled for a 3:00 pm start, and will mark the ninth of a 14-game road trip.

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 Journal, Sept. 19, 1913
The Jamestown school garden exhibit was held in the Town Hall Saturday afternoon. This is the first year the schools have taken up this work and the children made a fine showing of vegetables and flowers. The committee feels fully repaid for all the work done and much pleased with the way the children have maintained their interest in the gardens.
The Women's Christian Temperance Union held its first meeting of the season in the hall of the Gardner House.

From the Newport Daily News, Sept. 20, 1938
The final meeting of the season of the Jamestown Historical Society was held Monday afternoon at its rooms in the St. Matthew's parish hall. A letter was read from Mrs. Harry Garnett who purchased the Shoreby Hill casino two years ago, offering to sell the ballroom to the society. The motion was tabled. Owing to the stormy weather, the annual pilgrimage to the old mill was postponed.
From the Newport Daily News, Sept. 22, 1938
Nine persons, including seven children, lost their lives and widespread damage was done in Jamestown as the storm swept across the island with terrific fury Wednesday afternoon and night.
Today telephone communication with the island was established, but ferryboats Governor Carr and Beavertail were blown ashore, and the residents were marooned as far as ferry connections were concerned.
The waterfront was almost completely wiped out, with the ferry landing badly damaged by the fury of the storm. The White Nook restaurant was blown across the street, Alfred Richardson's garage was blown away, the Newport Coal Company office was tossed over, and numerous buildings had roofs blown off and were otherwise damaged, while hundreds of trees were torn up by the roots. The beach pavilion was washed away, and all over the island there was evidence of the storm today. The water had gone as high as Charles Hayward's store at Ferry Wharf.

At a meeting Wednesday with state and Indian officials, the only thing the School Committee learned was that the exact size of the Narragansett Indian burial ground behind the school was still unknown. That means that the proposed $3.2 million school addition cannot go out to bid until November at the earliest. The project was supposed to have been started earlier this summer and two much-needed junior high school classrooms were to have been completed by November.

There's a busy weekend planned in Jamestown and event organizers as well as homeowners and boat owners have been watching closely to see where Hurricane Isabel will go on its Atlantic journey.
Now that Hurricane Isabel has plodded a more westerly course, which is likely to give the island only a wet and windy day tomorrow, organizers of the 325th birthday celebration have decided not to reschedule the events planned for this weekend.

Good idea! But I dont think the remotes ever get put away down there :)Delete
Can't tell the size for sure but how about putting it on a table and keeping your playing cards in it or perhaps you like to keep pens, pencils, scissors in your living room (I do so when I'm reading the paper I can cut things out, make notes, etc.). I'm a great collector of boxes and have them all over the house with lots of things in them. My favorites are the boxes I have given each grandchild and then I put treasures in there from each of them - cards, pictures, shells we pick up when I visit, etc. Some day I'll give those boxes to each of them with love from Grandma.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thats very sweet (the box for your grandchildren).Delete
This one is pretty large (about bread box size) so too big to put out on a coffee table or anything like that. But perfect for a treasure box.
That box is custom made for your passports, your insurance policies and anything else you would pick up and run with due to a fire... Agatha first, that box second!!ReplyDelete
It's not useless & it looks awesome! I have something similar & use it to store all my beauty stuff, make-up, lipstick & such.... ;)ReplyDelete

It looks like a great place for extra keys ( with labeled tags,of course).ReplyDelete

Museum of Applied Arts
The Budapest Museum of Applied Arts, one of the oldest of its kind, dates from 1872. It is not just the exhibits but also the architectural splendours of the museum that make it such a pleasure to visit. The three-story building, which first opened its doors in 1896, was designed in Hungarian Art Nouveau style by Ödön Lechner. In contrast to his later work on the Postal Savings Bank, here Lechner has returned to past, mainly Oriental forms and merged them with elements from Hungarian folk-art to produce a new style.
The red granite facing and patterned roof-tiles (prepared in the Zsolnay porcelain factory at Pécs) are particularly fine. On the right near the main entrance is a statue of the architect by B. Farkas (1936). The central inner courtyard -- all in white and covered by a glass roof -- and the hall with the ticket-office provide a fairytale amalgam of Indian and Moorish styles. Some of the exhibition rooms are situated around this inner courtyard and open into it through large arcades. The construction of the inner courtyard with its white-painted steel supports is extremely modern.
Address: Budapest, Üllői út 33-37.
Phone: (36-1) 2175-222

Opening hours: From 10 am to 6 pm; closed on Mondays

North Korea yesterday excoriated Jang Song-thaek, the uncle of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, for what it described as a slew of criminal acts, confirming the spectacular downfall of the once second-most powerful man in the reclusive state.
The dismissal of Jang for mismanaging the economy, corruption, womanizing and drug-taking comes after South Korean media reports that one of his aides has sought asylum in South Korea.
The unidentified aide, who managed funds for Jang, was being protected by South Korean officials in a secret location in China, cable news network YTN and the Kyunghyang Shinmun newspaper said on Friday last week, citing sources familiar with the matter.
Jang was removed from all his posts and expelled from the ruling Workers' Party during a meeting of its politburo on Sunday, the North's official KCNA news agency said.
Kim attended and "guided" the meeting, it said.
North Korean state television showed a still photograph of Jang being hauled away by uniformed guards from a large conference hall as it reported on the politburo meeting.
Kim's uncle has also been airbrushed out of pictures and video footage and experts said his name was no longer searchable on the KCNA database.
"Jang and his followers committed criminal acts baffling imagination and they did tremendous harm to our party and revolution," KCNA said, without saying if Jang had been detained or charged with any crime.
The report also did not refer to Jang's aide, whose defection, if confirmed, would be the most serious for North Korea in 15 years.
The decision to remove Jang was widely reported in North Korea's media including on the front page of the official Rodong Sinmun newspaper yesterday, in contrast to the dismissal of officials in the past which were almost never reported.
The Rodong Sinmun carried a picture of what it said was the politburo meeting. Jang and Kim Kyong-hui, Jang's wife and aunt to the young leader, were among 17 politburo members. Neither could be seen in the photograph.
However, Kim Jong-un's aunt, the daughter of North Korean founding leader Kim Il-sung, was not in trouble, a source with close ties to Pyongyang said.
Last week, a South Korean official said Jang was likely alive and in no immediate phys ical danger, as was his wife.
The South Korean National Intelligence Service last week said it believed Jang had been relieved of his posts last month. It also said two of Jang's close associates were executed recently for corruption.
The firing means Pyongyang is undergoing its biggest leadership upheaval since the death in 2011 of former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, Kim Jong-un's father.
Among Jang's senior party and military posts, he was vice chairman of the country's top military body, the National Defense Commission.
Jang had close ties to China and visited Beijing last year on behalf of Kim Jong-un. He was also head of the North Korean side of a joint project managing a special economic zone with Beijing.
KCNA listed a series of reasons why Jang was dismissed, including mismanagement of the country's financial system, corruption, womanizing and abusing alcohol and drugs.
"Jang pretended to uphold the party and leader, but was engrossed in such factional acts as dreaming different dreams and involving himself in double-dealing behind the scene," KCNA said. "Affected by the capitalist way of living, Jang committed irregularities and corruption and led a dissolute and depraved life."

Five gold bars and 15 silver bars underlie eight Comex contracts between the brokerage and its client Jason Fane of Ithaca, New York, the unit of London-based HSBC said in a court filing yesterday. Both parties have asserted claims to the bars, creating difficulties for HSBC, which is storing them, the bank said. HSBC asked a judge to decide who the rightful owner is.
"HSBC has received conflicting instructions regarding ownership and disposition of the property," it said. "Accordingly, HSBC is exposed to multiple liabilities with respect to the disposition of the properties." The unit is HSBC Bank USA National Association.
Bullion is selling for about $1,717 an ounce on the Comex in New York, up about 21 percent this year, as investors bought the metal to protect their wealth from Europe's escalating debt crisis, and reached a record $1,923.70 in September. Treasuries returned 9.3 percent, a Bank of America Corp. index shows.
'Bars Are Mine'
"These bars are mine," Fane said in an e-mail today. "We had a letter from HSBC that they were on the loading dock to be shipped to our warehouse contractor when there was some action taken by a third party to stop or delay shipment."
The trustee, James Giddens, expects this "relatively minor and not unusual dispute" to be successfully resolved, his spokesman, Kent Jarrell, said in an e-mail.
Fane wrote HSBC after the bankruptcy, asking the bank to transfer the bars to his account at Brink's, according to a copy of his letter filed in court. The trustee wrote HSBC saying the gold and silver was "customer property," and the bank shouldn't turn it over to Fane, HSBC said in the filing. Brink's provides vaults and other services for the safekeeping of valuables.
The judge handling the bankruptcy said today that in January he would address the matter of distributing physical goods, such as gold and silver bars, after lawyers for some customers said they couldn't get their share of the payouts because bars can't be broken into pieces.
According to Fane's letter, the five Comex gold contracts are for an average of 99 ounces of each.
Account Transfers
Giddens, who is liquidating the brokerage, has transferred about 38,000 commodity accounts to other firms. Three transfers of collateral made and pending will give commodity customers more than $4 billion of their assets, according to court filings.
The parent company's Oct. 31 bankruptcy filing, the eighth- largest in U.S. history, listed assets of $41 billion. Jon Corzine, the former co-chief executive officer of Goldman Sachs Group Inc., quit as MF Global's CEO on Nov. 4.

Kean University - 13, Farmingdale State - 9
Union, N.J. - Kean outscored Farmingdale State 9-4 in the second half en route to the 13-9 Skyline Conference win on Wednesday. The Rams suffered their first conference loss of the season and now stand at 6-4, 2-1, while the Cougars improved to 11-1, 2-0.
