Power Poll: Unbeaten Warriors leave no doubtBy CHRIS DUFFY
Chief Sports Editor
November 20. 2017 8:41PM
The Winnacunnet High football team, which fought its way to the state Division I final with great defense, then won the big game with an explosive offense, is the unanimous No. 1 in the final 2017 New Hampshire Union Leader High School Football Power Poll.
The Hampton-based Warriors — the "beach boys," as they fashioned themselves — finished 12-0 in the Granite State's largest division after their dominating 41-21 victory over Pinkerton Academy in Saturday's championship at UNH's Wildcat Stadium. It was the culmination of firsts for the program: its first Division I state title; its first unbeaten season, and now, its first Power Poll championship.
Plymouth Regional, which capped a perfect season by taking the Division II state crown on Saturday, finished No. 2 — the highest placement for a Division II team since 2012, when Winnacunnet was edged for the top spot by Division I Exeter. The final vote in 2012 was a bit controversial in that Winnacunnet beat Exeter during the regular season. That year also marked the last time the Power Poll king didn't finish unbeaten.
This season, there was no such doubt among the poll's six voters.
"I have to give Winnacunnet credit for running the table and winning the championship," said poll voter Pete Tarrier, host of the NH High School Football Show. "I actually picked Pinkerton to beat them, mostly because I hadn't seen the Warriors play in person until Saturday, and I came away totally impressed with how balanced the team was. They were just really good in every facet of the game!"
Coach Ron Auffant's team was ninth in Power Poll preseason balloting and eventually moved into the top spot on Oct. 2, sharing No. 1 with Salem every week until last week.
The Warriors allowed an average of 11.78 points in their nine regular-season games. In the quarterfinals, despite allowing 33 points to Bedford, the Warriors' defense made the game's biggest play, a stop on a two-point conversion in overtime to win the game.
In the semifinals, Winnacunnet virtually shut down Goffstown, prevailing 21-6.
But in the championship game, in a steady, chilly rain in Durham, the Warriors' offense was the star of the night. With quarterback Patrick MacDougall passing, wide receiver Evan Welch catching (three touchdown passes) and halfback Jordan Fuller running (three TDs), Winnacunnet's offense scored a TD on every one of its possession until garbage time.
Plymouth wasn't quite as dominant as Winnacunnet on Saturday, but the Bobcats had things well in hand early in a 27-8 victory over Bow. Plymouth's toughest game of the season was its 21-7 win over St. Thomas of Dover in the division semifinals.
"Winnacunnet went unbeaten against the state's toughest schedule, so the Warriors clearly earned the No. 1 spot in the poll. Where to rank Plymouth was the toughest part of the voting for me this week," said poll voter Roger Brown of the Union Leader. "Are the Bobcats better than Division I teams like Goffstown and Exeter? It's hard to determine how Plymouth would fare against a Division I schedule."
Pinkerton finished third in the poll, followed by Division I semifinalists Goffstown and Salem. Division III champ Campbell of Litchfield finished 10th.
Final Power Poll
The top 10 high school football teams in New Hampshire, with record, first-place votes/points in parentheses, plus last weeks rankings. Voters are Union Leader sports writers Roger Brown, Alex Hall and Joe Duball, Union Leader Chief Sports Editor Chris Duffy, Union Leader contributor Joe Marchilena of NH-HighSchoolSports.com and Pete Tarrier, host of the NH High School Football Show (Saturday, 9-11 a.m.) on WFEA (99.9 FM & 1370 AM):
1. Winnacunnet, 12-0 (6/60), 1st
2. Plymouth, 11-0 (52), 4th
3. Pinkerton, 10-2 (43), 2nd
4. Goffstown, 9-2 (41), 5th
5. Salem, 10-1 (39), 3rd
6. Exeter, 7-3 (32), 6th
7. Bedford, 6-4 (23), 7th
8. Bow, 8-3 (12), 8th
9. Nashua So., 7-3 (11), T-9th
10. Campbell, 11-0 (9), T-9th
Other receiving votes: Monadnock, 10-1 (3), NR; Hanover, 9-1 (2), NR; Londonderry, 6-4 (2), NR; St. Thomas, 8-2 (1), NR.

The Motorola Droid Bionic has been hiding since we last received word that it would be delayed and improved. This device will be the first dual-core, 4G LTE device on Verizon's network, and many of you are very excited to see it coming. Though we know improvements are being added to this device, details about these upgrades have been well hidden. Today, the Droid Bionic has peeked its head out of its cave again – Benchmarks of the Bionic have shown up at NenaMark, revealing some interesting specs.
If this report stands true until the release of the Droid Bionic, it would mean that Motorola is not making minor changes to this device. Though the Bionic was expected to ship with a Tegra 2 processor, this report shows that it will carry a PowerVR SGX 540 GPU, which only comes with the new Texas Instruments OMAP 4 processors. It seems almost impossible that Motorola would go as far as changing something as important as the processor. Past reports show that the Droid 3 will also have an OMAP 4 processor, so Motorola may be turning to Texas Instruments from now on. We will simply have to wait and see. As the NenaMark reports, the dual-core processor would be clocked at 1 GHz.
Other details include the fact that the device now has Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread, which is good, since it was supposed to ship with Android 2.2 Froyo. Considering the fact that the device was delayed until the summer, it only seems fair that Motorola would ship the Bionic with Gingerbread. The NenaMark results also show that the device has a qHD display (960×540), which we were actually expecting, so it seems like there will be no changes to the display.
Compared to the Motorola Droid 3 NenaMark benchmarks, the Bionic doesn't seem to be performing very well. Both devices have the same processor, and overall similar specs, but the Droid 3′s score is of 45.70, almost twice the score of the Droid Bionic (at 24.00). Let's just hope that it was a test error, and the Bionic delivers the performance we are all expecting.
For now, let's just wait more (even though Motorola said this device would be the "end of waiting") and keep our eyes open for more details. What do you guys say? Are you still hoping to make this your next smartphone? Do you guys like the idea of it having a Texas Instruments OMAP 4 processor, or would you rather it be a Tegra 2?

Maryland OKs bill for public-private partnerships
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - A measure to better facilitate public-private partnerships in Maryland has cleared the General Assembly.
The bill, which received final approval on Monday, was proposed by Gov. Martin O'Malley's administration.
The legislation creates a streamlined process for the private sector to take part in building public roads or buildings, so participants would have a better understanding of what to expect.
Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown says the measure will enhance private-sector investment in the state.
Maryland already has a public-private partnership at the Port of Baltimore. The state also has one to operate travel plazas along Interstate 95.
State estimates have projected additional public-private partnerships could contribute up to 6 to 10 percent of Maryland's $3.1 billion annual capital budget and create as many as 4,000 new jobs.

Scientists are still uncovering all of the benefits of whole grains. Whole-grain foods keep all parts of the grain. Processed foods keep only the part called the endosperm, which is the flour portion of the grain. That makes whole grain foods better sources of:
These and other nutrients are lost when the grain is refined for white rice or white flour. Even though some vitamins and minerals are added back to refined grains after they go through the milling process, they still are not as good as the original.
Eating More Whole-Grain Foods
To include more whole-grain foods in your diet:
For more ideas, please visit Whole Grains Council.
Remember that whole grain foods cannot always be identified by color or name, such as multi-grain or wheat. Look for the "whole" grain listed first in the ingredient list on nutrition labels, such as:

What the Research Says
The benefits of eating more whole grains are becoming clearer as scientists continue to examine the evidence. Researchers analyzed several studies totaling 149,000 participants on the relation between whole grains and heart disease. The findings showed a consistent association between eating at least 2 1/2 servings of whole grains a day and good heart health. The health benefits, researchers found, include a lower rate of:
In addition, the American Institute of Cancer Research suggests that diets rich in whole grains can reduce the incidence of certain types of cancer. Whole grains contain nutrients and compounds that can protect cells from damage that could lead to cancer. These include:
Eating more whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and beans could also reduce the amount of red meat and processed meat in our diet -– foods that are linked to increased cancer risk.

"The world's leading operations and business support systems (OSS/BSS) are now gathered in one company," says Stefan Hedelius, Head of Marketing and Communications at Ericsson.
Ericsson acquired Telcordia in January 2012 to strengthen its position in OSS/BSS, a market that was estimated to be worth USD 47.2 billion in 2011*. The integration underscores Ericsson's commitment to support customers in this area with world-leading, innovative solutions and services.
"With Telcordia under our helm, we can provide our customers with a broader OSS/BSS software portfolio and a larger set of capabilities, covering everything from software, network and system integration to managed services," Hedelius says.
The Ericsson brand will be applied to Telcordia products and solutions, some of them with new names. The brand will also be changed in all communication and marketing material, and the Telcordia website will be redirected to ericsson.com. It will otherwise be business as usual for Telcordia employees and the company's customers.
"OSS/BSS is one of Ericsson's three main focus areas," Hedelius says. "We are investing in the software business, and the acquisition of Telcordia is one cornerstone in our strategy. This should give our customers the confidence that we are here to stay and support them in the long run."
Ericsson's commitment to OSS/BSS was recently confirmed in a report published by industry analyst firm Gartner. According to the report, Market Share Analysis: Telecom Operations Management Systems (BSS, OSS and SDP), Worldwide, 2010-2011, Ericsson is well positioned to become the world's leading provider of OSS/BSS and next-generation Service Delivery Platforms (SDP) solutions and services in 2012.

Author Kristina Gray will be giving a talk on Crookston's early history on October 9 at 6 p.m. at Crookston Library.
Before I write about Sampson's Addition, I need to answer my own question of who was Aunt Polly of Aunt Polly's Slough fame. It helps to re-read Russ Sundet's book "Reminiscing with Russ" because if you are fortunate to have a copy, you will find on p. 42 that question is easily answered. Polly Carelton was the Jerome's Addition built-in Neighborhood watch, point person. She was greatly revered by the children who came to play or skate at the pond next to her house. She would have a warm batch of cookies for children who knocked on her door to visit her. If only we had more Aunt Pollys these days who would give freely of their time and resources to encourage children to play outside.
On a side note, Aunt Polly's Slough when frozen over produced many a good skater and hockey player. Perhaps that is why the WPA in the 1930s built the original hockey arena in the Jerome's Addition and eventually the newer one next to it. Both arenas are gone now because of the new dike project along Robert Street heading east on Highway 2. Does Aunt Polly's Slough or something similar still endure for skaters to this day?
Interesting how nature has a way of developing certain characteristics in different areas of Crookston. My present interest is the Sampson's Addition where the Red Lake River borders three sides of the neighborhood. Bernhard Sampson seemingly goes unnoticed by past and present historians. We readily trip off the names of Crookston's streets and additions, not giving pause to admire those who were early settlers of our fair city. These pioneers hoped for better and sacrificed much to give us what we have today.
I'm not sure how men of the 19th century qualified to have their biographies written up in the "Compendium of History and Biography of Central and Northern Minnesota" published in 1904. If ever there was a man who should have been chronicled, it should have been Bernard Sampson for all the work he accomplished to help improve Crookston's early days of the 1880s and 1890s. He was born in Sweden in 1840 but brought up on a farm in Norway since his father was Norwegian. He arrived to the U.S. as a 27 year old man and moved to Minnesota in 1869 and settled in Crookston in 1872. He died in 1923 and in his 73 years accomplished much for the benefit of Crookston and its early citizens.
I came across snatch profiles written by Bernard Sampson's grandson, that is all I have to go on for now. John Sampson wrote an article published in Dec. 1998 in the "Red River Memories" about Crookston's Pioneer First Citizen – Bernard Sampson. I also have an article written by Ada Ness to help piece Sampson's life together. Sadly, I read so many bits of information in different places and by the time a composite starts to form of a certain character, I have forgotten where I read one sentence or phrase to give proper attribution.
I read somewhere the early settlers in the Crookston area were anticipating where the competing railroads would build bridges to cross the rivers westward. Some claimed land in different areas and it would seem that Bernard Sampson had guessed right with where he made his first home of a log cabin that was only 16' by 24' in size. According to Adoph Ness, his primitive house "was constructed of properly notched logs and sealed with clay with a peak roof which was made by using logs for the beams and carefully laying elm bark over these and then adding a layer of sod for insulation. The family lived in one room. However, a loft was built in one end and here the children would sleep, warm, high and dry." Sampson had homesteaded these 84 acres of land in the Sampson's addition where it became a part of Crookston in 1882.
According to Sampson's grandson, Bernard had amassed almost 900 acres of land in the surrounding Crookston area, which included 252 acres around Lake Sarah and Union Lake. His property stretched into the town of Carmen and extended to what was known as the "Tree Claim," property south of what is now the American Crystal sugar beet factory. Once T.B. Walker's sawmill came to Crookston, there was good lumber to be bought for all the new settlers. Bernard Sampson in 1890 built his family a large, beautiful home of 15 rooms. If you have a chance to visit the Comstock House in Moorhead, you will get an idea of what kind of furnishings would have been used in the upscale Sampson home.
In my reading of the Crookston newspaper headlines back in the late 1800s about Sampson, I came across something published on June 13, 1891 that helped answer another puzzle I have long had. Why is there a "College Avenue" close to Crookston's Riverview Hospital? That would have been land originally owned by Sampson. The headline read "Sampson Will Donate Land if Used for Lutheran College." There is no college there but rather that is where the old Sunnyrest sanatorium was built and now used by Glenmore Recovery center. Perhaps Sampson's aspirations of building a Lutheran College was never realized but the short street of "College Avenue" endures today.
What is interesting to note is that Crookston has a Steenerson Street in the Jerome's Addition and whether that is named after the Honorable Halvor Steenerson or one of his sons, I'm not sure. There were many Steenerson brothers and sons who settled up and down the Red River Valley area. I recall reading that one of the Steenersons, who had no heirs of his land in Moorhead, Minnesota, willed it to what is now the Lutheran college of Concordia college. Steenerson is another high profile name I wish to pursue among the early settlers of the Crookston area. I hope to return to that family name when researching the bonanza farms that were in the surrounding area.
For now, I am fixated on the progress that was made in the Sampson's Addition and have been long intrigued with the tannery that was there thanks to the Swedish settler named August Miller. For some reason, his name and biography is written up in the Compendium (and not Bernard Sampsons?). In 1894, Miller started his tanning business in Sampson's addition and handled over 3,000 hides a year. He and his wife Eva Johnson were among the original founders of the Evangelical Covenant church, which was just down the street from his place of business on Woodland Avenue. Back in 1902 the lot they purchased for the church was $210. The total cost of the church was $2,200. Since my paternal grandmother was Swedish, a transplant to Crookston from southern Minnesota as of 1915, she may have worshiped in this early Swedish church or had friends who attended this Mission church.
In any case, Bernard Sampson and his family had been a part of their own church that had organized itself as early as June 7, 1874 as the Red Lake River Evangelical Lutheran church. The name later shortened to First Lutheran Church. All worship services were conducted in Norwegian and not English as they used their hymnbooks and Bibles from the Old Country. "The charter members consisted of about 60 souls," according to Adoph Ness.
Bernard Sampson was a farmer at heart and was into dairy and diversified farming. He encouraged other Norwegian and Swedish settlers to move into his section of land that was surrounded on three sides by the Red Lake River. According to his grandson his grandfather, as a typical Scandinavian, was also very interested in both educational and political matters. Here is what he wrote:
"My grandfather, from the very beginning, had taken a deep interest in all educational matters. He had personally donated land for the old Eugene Field School. He also donated land to the Sunnyrest Sanitarium, tannery, Swedish Lutheran church and the Old Bethesda Hospital in 1910. He also paid for the pews for four Scandinavian churches in Crookston. The pews had been made in the shop owned by Julius Bjornstad of St. Paul, a brother to Mrs. Sampson."
I wish I had more time to write about this ambitious man, for there are many more accomplishments he achieved. Sampson helped to build the first flourmill in Crookston at the expense of $50,000. It would have been located along what is now Mill Street. Unfortunately it burned down on June 4, 1887. Other headlines later on describe how the Crookston Fire Chief believed there was a fire bug (arsonist) that brought down other buildings in Sampson Addition as in the big blaze at the butcher shop in July 7, 1900. But unintentional fires were one of the biggest enemies of the early settlers throughout the flat plains of the Red River Valley.
I also read elsewhere in the newspaper headlines that Sampson wanted to erect a hotel in his addition in 1883. What surprised me is that they were going to also have a saloon and dance hall built in 1886. But by 1894 is when the new brick building for a tannery was set up by August Miller and as mentioned earlier, the Swedish Mission church down the street was dedicated in 1903.
What struck me as interesting is that Bernard Sampson was a very generous man with his wealth of land and never ending energy to get things improved in Crookston. His grandson wrote: "Because of the choice location of the rapidly growing town, residential lots were now selling fast. Those days had many needy families and Bernhard Sampson was known to have helped them, either by giving a family a lot outright or by selling a family a lot for only a token fee. He would even help some needy families build their new homes."
Today we have such Crookstonites who give tirelessly of their time and money for the future growth and well-being of Crookston. Would that we knew more about the great tradition started by people like Aunt Polly, Steenerson and Bernard Sampson who gave of their resources from freshly baked cookies to donating land plots in Crookston.

BOSTON — The Charles River is a finalist for the prestigious International Riverprize, a $350,000 award for development and implementation of sustainable river management policies. Boston's famous waterway is in competition with the Mattole River in California and the Yarra River in Victoria, Australia.
But there was a time not so long ago when the Charles, named by England's King Charles I after himself, was considered a 26-mile embarrassment. Indeed, the famous chorus "I love that dirty water," from The Standells 60s rock song, is still a hometown classic.
Over time, both nature and engineering have painted the rust colored "dirty water" have repainted the "dirty water" green. And no one appreciates that more than Ralph Boynton, who manages Charles River Canoe And Kayak.
Boynton has been kayaking and renting kayaks along the river for 16 years. He feels a personal kinship to this river. He's been swimming in it, and he's excited about talks of opening more beaches on the river.
Just a few years ago, Boynton wouldn't even think of swimming in the Charles.
"The crew teams that fell in would routinely get prophylactic tetanus shots," Boynton said.
The notion of reopening beaches on the River is a measure of the impact of the $100 million dollar cleanup over the years. The Environmental Protection Agency worked with Massachusetts in the mid-1990s, vowing to make the river swimmable by 2005. Former Gov. William Weld even jumped in with his clothes on to show that there were no ill effects. But the Charles' old reputation still lingers.
Just ask Sean Nyhan of Charlestown, who has stopped by with his wife Bridget to rent a kayak.
"Obviously it's not even urban legend that you don't swim in the Charles River and on a hot day like today it would be great to swim," Nyhan said. "But obviously, I think if you're local it's known that you don't swim in the Charles."
So even if the Charles wins the International Riverprize, Massachusetts' officials have their work cut out trying to convince residents that it's not the same dirty old water.

At a complete eye exam, called a dilated eye exam, the eye doctor widens the pupil of the eye with eye drops to allow a closer look at the inside of the eye. This exam may not be part of an eye exam for a new pair of eyeglasses or contact lenses. Be sure to ask your eye doctor for a dilated eye exam.
Diabetes that isn't controlled may cause blindness. High blood glucose and high blood pressure cause small blood vessels to swell and leak liquid into the retina of the eye, blurring the vision. This can eventually lead to blindness. People with diabetes are also more likely to develop cataracts - a clouding of the eye's lens, and glaucoma - optic nerve damage.
Have a dilated eye exam with an optometrist or ophthalmologist at least once a year. To have this kind of exam, your doctor will need to put drops in your eyes and wait while your pupil dilates – or gets big – to see the back of the eye (the retina). He or she will be able to see whether there is a sign of damage due to diabetes.
The most important thing to protect your vision when you have diabetes is to keep your sugar in control. Be sure to have a dilated eye exam with an optometrist or ophthalmologist once a year. Remember, it's not enough to have your eyes checked for glasses or contacts, or to have a regular doctor look at your eyes. Also, if you have a change in your vision, see your eye care doctor right away, even if it's not time for your regular check up.

Movie Picture for Dark Tide
Photo Credit: Wrekin Hill Entertainment
A 2012 action/adventure thriller directed by John Stockwell and based on a story by Amy Sorlie, Dark Tide centers on a diving instructor who decides to return to deep waters after a near-fatal encounter with a Great White shark. Halle Berry acts as main character Kate Mathieson, who now spends her days giving mundane wildlife tours following the tragic death of her mentor. That is until the surprise arrival of her old diving partner and boyfriend (played by Olivier Martinez), who convinces her to face her inner demons by getting back into the water.

As the main article mentions, when members of our DBA team were preparing our data for graphing, we executed some preliminary queries to pull data from the System Monitor—generated CounterData and CounterDetails tables and received some interesting results. First, we found that pulling data from the default table structures was slow. Then, we added a calculated field and index to CounterData and found that queries performed significantly faster when CounterDateTime was an indexed datetime field rather than a non-indexed char(24) field. (We appreciate the assistance the SQL Server Magazine technical editors gave us in figuring this out.) But when we modified the structure of the CounterData table with the appropriate indexes and calculated fields, System Monitor wouldn't log the data at all, although our queries performed somewhat better. It turns out that System Monitor tries to recreate the tables when it finds structural changes in them. We also tried creating an INSTEAD OF trigger to route the data entry into another table. However, when we did so, SQL Server bulk-loaded the data and ignored triggers. We thought about modifying the tables, but you can't expect assistance from Microsoft if you change the system tables, so we recommend that you don't alter them.
In the Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK) under the Performance Monitor heading (at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/perfmon/base/performance_data.asp), Microsoft describes the fields of the CounterData table as Table A shows.
However, the description of CounterDateTime is incorrect. If you investigate the System Monitor tables CounterData and CounterDetails, you'll find that the counter names are stored in CounterDetails and counter values are stored in CounterData, using one column for every counter and logged one row at a time. For example, if you logged the 12 counters for 2 minutes, CounterDetails would contain 12 records for the names of the counters, whereas CounterData would contain 24 entries for each minute the data was logged. One way to make pulling data from this format more efficient and effective is to transform the data into a pivot-table format in which one column exists for the date and time and additional columns exist for each counter whose data you want to view. Interestingly, this is the same format that a System Monitor CSV file uses.

Manchester man arrested in Keene for immigration violation
February 03. 2013 10:34PM
KEENE - A Manchester man was arrested on an immigration violation Sunday afternoon in Keene.
According to Keene police, officers were called to a home on Marlboro Road (Route 101) to investigate a report of shots fired at 12:37 p.m. Sunday.
Before police arrived, the suspect reportedly fled the home in a white Ford Mustang, heading east on Route 101.
Police say they determined the owner of the home, and not the suspect who fled, fired a single shot into a wooded area behind the home, in an attempt to scare away the occupants of the Mustang, whom the homeowner feared were there to harm him.
After stopping the Mustang, police took a man inside the Mustang, Roberto Carlos Valle, 21, of Manchester, into custody on an immigration violation, and turned him over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.
No further information was available Sunday night from Keene police.

Re: Drone Debate
Yeah. I'm on a really different page too.
I'm not really sure I embrace this whole concept of an "enemy." There are a diverse bunch of folks out there who embrace concepts that appall me, and some of them would like see me and you and everyone else we care about dead, and some of them have legitimate gripes against my government and some of them really have very little concept of the world outside of their immediate realities, and they are just angry.
Yeah. I don't think that I agree that there is AN ENEMY. There are lots of people who I don't like, and lots of people who present a danger. Like the guy driving a black sedan in my neighborhood, who, in the past few weeks, has been trying to pull pre-teen girls into his car at 7:00 AM while they are on their way to school. Is there AN ENEMY in my neighborhood? No. There is a criminal. A nasty, horrible criminal. If he comes near my daughter, I'll castrate him myself. But I don't think that my neighborhood should plot to blow up all the black sedans in the neighborhood.
There were a group of angry, insane criminals who flew planes into buildings in my city. Bin Laden was a brilliant, charismatic, crazy cult leader, managed to get gobs of people to buy into his private anger and insanity. He had much more in common with Jim Jones than with the Taliban. Yeah. Al Qaeda works with the Taliban. Hides in Taliban territory. And enjoys the fundamentalist indignation. But privileged, educated al Qaeda does not share anything more than fundamentalism and anger with the Taliban.
The Taliban are a reactionary subset of a specific ethnic group (the Pashtuns) who reside in a region which has been screwed over by foreigners for as long as anyone can remember. Many of the Taliban leaders, like the people who they attempt to rule and coerce, are illiterate. They can't read a map. They don't even understand that they live on a globe. Many of them collaborated with Bin Laden. But they are a very different breed. They are no threat to us. They are not going to fly planes into buildings. But I do consider them a threat to the Afghan people. And as a humanist, I support the human rights of those Afghanis whose lives have been limited by the Taliban. The solution is education. And the Taliban will become irrelevant.
Somalia? Poor Somalia is the canary in the goal mine in terms of global warming. And of course they've been using their love of god as an excuse to alter their borders with their neighbors for a very long time. And then there is the issue of mining rights inside of other countries borders. Mix in a little xenophobia, a little Islam, some ethnic disputes, and a lot of pain and hunger, and you've got all kinds of folks ripe to die and kill in the name of some cause. The solution? Ummm… end global warming, find beneficial economic enterprises for the Somalis to pursue within their own national borders, find a way to feed starving people. Education again. Heal ethnic tensions.
Or maybe just send in drones.
Al Qaeda is tougher still. Decentralized cells of angry individuals. The vast majority are not skilled enough, and don't have access to the resources necessary to pull off attacks like that of the Cole or 9/11. But some are skilled at spreading their anger and creed. Dropping drones and killing lots of folks helps their cause by justifying their anger. Let's not help their cause and justify their anger. I don't know all that much about the institution itself, but I'm pretty sure that in the absence of Bin Laden, there is no single individual who is crucial to the survival of the infrastructure. Their strength is their decentralization. So I would hope that the intelligence community is gathering information on cells and what they are doing, and which ones have the potential for danger beyond recruitment. And then our government should work with the government in which those cells operate to help cut off their access to resources and influence, and if possible, bring criminal charges against them on a local level. Obviously, not all countries are going to be as accommodating as we might like.
And there might be more attacks. Just like there might be more guys trying to abduct pre-teen girls after they catch the guy in the black sedan. And there might be more traffic deaths. Let's work together to try and prevent any danger to human life that is preventable.
But let's not pretend that when our drones or airstrikes kill innocent people, that our actions are justified.
Oh. And let's do all the stuff on Screwtape's list.
Yep here too!

MADISON, Wis.—State officials are urging property owners to prune their trees before the weather warms up.
Department of Natural Resources foresters say winter is the best time for pruning because trees are dormant and insects that could attack an open wound aren't active. What's more, leafless branches are easier to see and cut.
Foresters recommend removing limbs growing vertically or toward the ground. Property owners also should remove dead or diseased limbs as well as limbs that are crossing, rubbing or growing parallel to one another but never prune a branch flush to the trunk.

We are still practicing to nurse under cover and also got to postpone the trip a little longer so we will have more practice (YAY !!)
I am still pumping twice a day (soon after i nurse her for 10-15 mins and get about a total of 5-6 oz, and she takes 3-4 oz by bottle for one feeding), mainly because it lets me have a stretch of 4 h sleep in a day (i am totally unable to sleep at other times). Starting in a month and half i will be gone for 4- 5h two days a week and will need to pump for those periods.
Since last two days, my supply is slowly getting ahead of her. I have accumulated about 5 oz over last two days and will probably accumulate some more very soon. I dont want to use the expressed milk when i am able to nurse her, so was thinking of freezing the excess.
So i had a few questions regarding freezing BM
1) Which are better -- bags or bottles (I read reviews about bags leaking, so am hesitant to use them, dont know how far they are true)
2) do i have to sterilize the container before i freeze milk in them ??
3) I have a medela PISA pump, It came with four 5 oz bottles, Can i use a different brand of bottles to freeze milk (Found that there are cheaper bottles available), If so any suggestions as to which bottles are good?
4) Can i reuse the container till i fill it up to its maximum capacity (it takes approx 2 sessions of pumping to get 5 oz of milk)
Thanks again for all your support and sorry to be bothering you all with queries all the time.

Some Bedford residents oppose plan to install cell tower inside silo
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
Planning board approves silo cell tower project in Bedford
Bedford forms committee to study cell tower policies
Bedford officials: 1-year hiatus on cell tower proposal
— Zoning officials have paved the way for a new cell tower to be constructed inside of a silo along Wallace Road, despite concerns from nearby residents.
On Tuesday, the Zoning Board of Adjustment granted a special exception to install a telecommunications facility inside of a silo on farmland at 5 Wallace Rd., and to construct a replacement silo that will camouflage the antenna equipment.
"We have shown that there is a gap in coverage," said Victor Manougian, an attorney with the McLane Middleton law firm representing Verizon Wireless.
According to Manougian, the new cell tower will enable Verizon to provide better coverage and compete with other carriers. He maintained that the facility will not alter the neighborhood because a silo already exists on the property; the old silo will be replaced with a new silo that will stand 20 feet higher.
Several neighbors voiced opposition to the project, saying they had concerns about their health, impact to property values and noise.
"This thing is going to be a monstrosity," said Steve Crowley of 12 Summit Rd., whose property sits directly behind the silo.
He said the new cell tower will negatively impact his home and other residences on Summit Road, which sits within the Greenfield Farms development.
"I am pretty sure once it is up no one is going to notice it is 20 feet higher than it used to be," said Manougian.
Mike Sorvillo of 8 Summit Rd. said his biggest fear is the unknown, specifically what information is not being shared with neighbors or the Zoning Board about the project.
"We are not hearing all of the details on this," said Sorvillo.
He stressed that the noise coming from the industrial-sized air conditioners that will be installed on the tower's equipment shed will be disruptive during the summer months.
Another local resident, Doug Libby of 2 Swenson Rd., said he has major health concerns about having a telecommunications tower about 300 feet away from his bedroom window.
Although he has a Verizon phone and would appreciate stronger coverage, Libby said he fears for children in the area who will have numerous years, possibly a lifetime, of potential radiation exposure.
Manougian told the board that it cannot deny the application for a wireless facility based on "potential health risks that you may think."
"In looking at safety, the federal government does pre-empt a lot of what we can or can't do. Which, whether we like it or not, we are bound by what the law is and how to enforce it," said Len Green, Zoning Board member. "We may not be happy with it, but that is not our choice."
Chairman John Morin echoed those sentiments, telling residents that the board is required by law, in this case the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, to follow certain guidelines and state statutes.
"We don't make our decisions by feelings," added Morin.
John Russell of 19 Summit Rd. said he and his neighbors paid a premium to live in a destination neighborhood, urging the board to reject the proposal.
The board ultimately approved the project. The construction of the new silo will still be reviewed by the Planning Board.

Barbara Allen, 82, beloved wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, peacefully passed away in her home Wednesday, October 3, 2012.
Bobbie was proud to tell people that she was born in New Orleans, La. She was a LADY, ever so proper, gentle, and gracious.
Bob and Bobbie met in East Los Angeles at the motorcycle races in July 1947. From that day on, he sent her flowers every day. One month later, in Santa Barbara, Calif., August 27, 1947, they were married. This past August 27, 2012, they celebrated 65 years of marriage and life together.
In 1980, they sold their home in Studio City, Calif., bought a motorhome, and began three years on the road searching for that special place to retire and enjoy the rest of their lives. That brought them to Trail, Ore. Here she really found herself. She was involved with the Historical Society, her Pear Blossom Doll Club and enjoyed going on car outings with their Rogue Valley Model A's car club.
Bobbie is survived by her husband, Bob Allen; daughters and sons-in law, Vicki and Gary deCourval, and Cindi and Karl Lasater; grandsons, Allan Gold and Joey deCourval; and five beautiful great-grandchildren.
There will be a viewing 2:00-4:00 p.m. Thursday, October 11, 2012, at 550 Business Park Dr, Medford, Ore., 97504.
She will be forever loved, remembered and missed!

Horford, Celtics send Pistons to sixth straight lossBy Dana Gauruder
The Sports Xchange
December 10. 2017 10:49PM
DETROIT -- Kyrie Irving and the Boston Celtics took some extra satisfaction from defeating the slumping Detroit Pistons on the road.
The Celtics allowed a season-high 118 points in a home loss to the Pistons on Nov. 27. By clogging the lane, Boston flipped the script on Sunday. It held the Pistons to season lows in points and field-goal percentage in a 91-81 victory at Little Caesars Arena.
Boston (23-5), which has won five of its last six, was coming off a three-point road loss at San Antonio on Friday.
"I wouldn't call it payback," said Irving, the Celtics' star point guard. "It's just always good when you can respond the way you want to, especially on their home floor, just like they did on our home floor. They took care of business and we wanted to come here and take care of business. We not only responded to that loss at home but also to a tough Spurs loss."
Power forward Al Horford stuffed the stat sheet with 18 points, nine rebounds and six assists. Irving tossed in 16 points while Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown had 12 apiece for Boston. Rookie Jayson Tatum added 11 points and Aron Baynes snared a season-high 13 rebounds for the Celtics, who overcame a scoreless drought of more than six minutes in the fourth quarter.
Baynes was primarily responsible for holding Pistons center Andre Drummond to a season-low six points, 20 fewer than he had in the first meeting.
"We were locked in," Baynes said. "Our offense wasn't as crisp tonight as we wanted it to be but defensively we had a game plan and we stuck with it. We were trying to pack the paint and make them make plays from the outside. Last time, they really had whatever they wanted inside the paint. Tonight, we wanted to go out there and control it a lot better."
Detroit shot 33.3 percent (28-for-84) from the field in its sixth consecutive loss, while Boston shot 41.8 percent (33-for-79).
Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson missed all nine of his shot attempts and the starters were a combined 13-for-50 from the field.
"They didn't take their body off of (Drummond) at all on any of his rolls and stuff and we weren't able to exploit it with other guys," coach Stan Van Gundy said. "It did get other guys shots but we didn't make them."
Tobias Harris led the Pistons (14-12) with 19 points. Anthony Tolliver contributed a season-high 15 points off the bench, Avery Bradley had 12 and Ish Smith added 11.
The Pistons' losing streak is their longest since they dropped 10 straight in February and March 2015.
"Because we've been on a losing streak, the frustration justs seeps in a little bit quicker," Harris said. "For us, it's going to be a matter of keeping our composure and really just being locked into the next play."
Irving scored 11 first-half points, and the Celtics led 44-37 at halftime.
Boston assumed command early in the second half. The Pistons went scoreless for over five minutes and missed their first nine shots. The Celtics reeled off 10 unanswered points during that span, capped by a Horford 3-pointer for a 54-37 lead.
Tolliver's layup late in the quarter brought the Pistons within 10, but a Terry Rozier 3-pointer in the final second made it 73-59.
Boston led by 16 before the Pistons reeled off 12 unanswered points.
Detroit cut the deficit under double digits on a Harris 3-pointer with 5:50 remaining. He hit another, then Smith drove for a layup to make it 79-75. A Brown basket ended the Celtics' scoring drought, which lasted 6:20.
A Tatum 3-pointer with 1:55 left nudged Boston's lead to 87-79 and stifled Detroit's rally.
NOTES: Celtics SF Marcus Morris missed the game due to left knee soreness. ... Boston rookie SF Jayson Tatum leads the NBA in 3-point percentage, a surprise to Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy. "Look, I thought he was the best prospect in the draft. He's got all the tools," he said. "The thing is, anybody who says they're not surprised by (a rookie's) 3-point shooting, based on what he did in college, is lying." ... Detroit PG Ish Smith made his 300th career steal in the second half. ... Boston has won its past four road games against Detroit. ... The Celtics complete a back-to-back by playing at Chicago on Monday while the Pistons finish off a three-game homestand against Denver on Tuesday.

With snowmobile season approaching, the New York State Snowmobile Association is reminding snowmobilers that local trails are not considered officially open until the local club has inspected and cleared trails for the 2012-13 season.
Although the snowmobile season won't begin until after the hunting season ends in late December, NYSSA is encouraging all snowmobilers to use this time to join their local clubs and register their sled.
"Our recent economic impact study shows that our sport contributes $868 million to the state economy," said Dominic Jacangelo, executive director of NYSSA. "We work with local municipalities and landowners to provide riding options for our members as well as identifying opportunities to work with local businesses to ensure services are available to our club members."
Snowmobilers are encouraged to visit www.nysnowmobiler.com for information on clubs as well as the latest news on snowmobiling in New York state.
"Our No. 1 priority is safety. That's why we ask everyone to reach out to their local club before hitting the trails for the first time," said Jim Rolf, trail coordinator for NYSSA. "Trails continually change as clubs continue necessary maintenance. Our local clubs are working to inspect and repair these trails in order to ensure a safe experience throughout the season."
NYSSA encourages all snowmobilers to abide by all the safety regulations and to refrain from consuming any amount of alcohol until they have parked their snowmobiles for the day. "Operating a snowmobile safely requires drivers to be alert and focused at all times. Don't invite something bad to happen by riding beyond your skill level or consuming any amount of alcohol before your riding is done," stressed NYSSA President Gary Broderick.
Before you have fun with your family and friends enjoying the natural beauty of New York state, riders should use this time to have their club memberships and registrations completed.

Kingston University's show was a much-anticipated one, and the atmosphere was electric as the lights went down.
Philippa Jenkins showed smart adventurer looks, with great accessories, she obviously has a knack for colour. Myriam Saumtally focused on sports items and workwear, giving grey jersey a twist with embroidery and we particularly loved the semi-sheer nylon jacket, with houndstooth fabric just visible underneath.

Stockton has become a city in which the unusual has become usual.
Stockton has become a city in which the unusual has become usual.
On election night, voters went to the polls to determine the fate of Measure A, the 3/4-cent sales tax initiative slated to fund additional police in Stockton; and Measure B, a sister proposal that spells out the city's promise to spend the new money on public safety and bankruptcy debt.
Both measures passed. Measure A with nearly 53 percent of the vote; Measure B with nearly 60 percent. On the surface, it would seem that both measures would have garnered identical results. Vote for the sales tax, vote for the promise. But apparently a number of people voted against Measure A and for Measure B. As one voter told Record reporter Scott Smith: He voted against the Measure A but wanted to hold city officials accountable in case it passed, so he voted for Measure B.
It is estimated Measure A will generate $28 million annually, funds sorely needed to fund public safety and reduce the city's bankruptcy debt.
Without those funds, the hole Stockton finds itself in would just continue to deepen.
The onus is now on city officials - Mayor Anthony Silva, Councilmembers Dyane Burgos Medina, Paul Canepa, Elbert Holman, Kathy Miller, Michael Tubbs and Moses Zapien - to do with those funds as they are intended and to right this floundering ship of a city.
Yet, in the backdrop of the election was that the council, by all accounts, was to formally announce the hiring of its new city manager. Former City Manager Bob Deis retired Oct. 31 and the City Council spent the following weekend interviewing the two finalists to be his successor.
At midafternoon Tuesday, Silva on his Facebook page said there would be an announcement of a new city manager at 5:30 p.m. He later issued a news release to KCRA 3 announcing Coachella's city manager, David Garcia, as the council's choice, calling him "one of the most sought-after Hispanic city managers on the West Coast." But 5:30 p.m. came and went without an announcement. Council entered into closed session and that meeting ended with no announcement as well.
On Wednesday, The Desert Sun reported that Garcia was staying in his job in the Southern California city.
"The short time between my selection Sunday the 2nd and the closed session in Stockton on Tuesday 5th precluded any detailed discussions about the basis for my position," Garcia said in an email to Stockton officials.
Furthermore, "not only are the financial provisions tendered less than my current position, they are less than those given to the former city manager. I understand the financial challenges facing Stockton, however I owe it to my family to make good financial decisions."
Apparently, Silva jumped the gun on making the announcement before terms were reached.
The council will reconvene to determine the next step in its search.
But meanwhile, it must also focus on following through with Measure B, which would allot 65 percent of the money raised by the 3/4-cent tax to hire more police and to the Marshall Plan on Crime. The remaining 35 percent of the tax will be used to pay Stockton's bankruptcy debts.
The city has 348 police officers. The target is 483 officers, which would be 40 hires a year for the next three years. At its peak in 2008, the Police Department had 441 officers.
At 483 officers, Stockton will have 1.6 officers for every 1,000 residents. Police Chief Eric Jones maintains the city needs 1.9 or 2 officers for every 1,000 residents. However, he will not balk at having nearly 500 police to protect this city.
The election is over. Measure A has won. The City Council took a misstep during its city manager search. Now let's focus on Measure B.
There is nothing unusual about wanting to protect residents of this city.

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 5, No. 0106. Thursday, 10 February 1994.
Date: Thursday, 10 Feb 1994 10:32:15 +1000
Subject: Psychotic Macbeth
Dear SHAKSPEReans,
John Bell, formerly of the RSC, now runs a privately-funded group, the Bell
Shakespeare Company, here in Australia. Over the past few years they have
toured extensively, usually performing three plays in repertory. This year
they are performing 'The Taming of the Shrew' and 'Macbeth'. , the common
theme being the issue of marriage. In a recent interview, Bell - who will be
playing Macbeth - stated that he was: "researching serial killers and sex
murderers because I think those things are very much part of _Macbeth_ . . . I
have been struck by the number of couples, men and women teams, who have
engaged in serial killing, perversion and ambitious takeovers because of the
impotence of the marriage, a relationship that is hollow at its centre."
I have read a number of psychoanalytic critiques of 'Macbeth' lately, and I can
certainly see the connections that could be established between serial killers
or sex offenders and the sexual violence in the play, but I can't help but
think that this kind of approach over-psychologises Macbeth's motivations - as
did a local production I saw last year which drastically reduced the
appearances of the Weird Sisters. I would like to know what other SHAKSPEReans
think of Bell's proposition, or if similar approaches have been tried in recent
productions overseas.

I have been familiar with UML and used parts discretely for 4 years now. I havedone Object oriented programming for a long time and have good understanding of all OOPS concept
I recently read the "UML distilled " which was a nice introduction.
I have then read "UML Bible" and gone indepth of all UML diagrams.
The thing i want now is Process or Application of UML.
Without going into details of specific process, i wanted some simple but realworld scenarios where UML has been applied starting from USecase diagrams till the end.
I also wanted more on Business process Management and again UML applied to it.
I just bought Larmans book and i am sure it will go a long way in helping me with the above
But if any of you know of any other sources where UML modeling gentle case studies,BPM are given with some commentary on how.

MONTREUX, Switzerland (AP) — In nearly the same breath, the world's most powerful diplomats have talked about the importance of this week's peace conference on Syria and downplayed expectations for a breakthrough.
The timeframe for the talks is a week to 10 days, and then a break — but for what, and for how long?
Syria's Western-backed opposition and President Bashar Assad's handpicked representatives have never spoken face-to-face and it's not at all clear how much either side — or their proxy powerbrokers — really want an end to the war. A look at the goals of the participants and how the conference, which opens Wednesday, could unfold.
Fighting in Syria has killed more than 130,000 people and left millions of refugees, either in camps or squats in neighboring countries or within Syria's borders. The economy has been devastated, and bombs and gunfire have ruined once-thriving cities. The rebellion started in March 2011, and Syria has seen little but violence ever since. The contrast for the peace conference in the Alps town of Montreux could hardly be more stark — Switzerland has stayed out of international conflict since 1815, when it was declared neutral at the end of the Napoleonic wars.
The dichotomy isn't lost on Syrians suffering from the war. The government carried out airstrikes across the country on Tuesday, including in Daraa province in the south, outside the capital, Damascus, in Homs province in central Syria and in Aleppo in the north. The deadliest of the attacks hit opposition-held areas of Aleppo, killing at least 10 people.
For some of the more than 2 million Syrian refugees scattered around the region, there was scant interest in a settlement with Assad's government.
"We lost our faith in the international community. We don't care about the Geneva conference and whether it takes place or not," said Ibraheem Qaddah, a former rebel fighter with an amputated arm, now holed up in Jordan's sprawling Zaatari refugee camp. "We have lost a lot of relatives and friends and family members in the fighting, and we've lost Syria."
Syria's Western-backed Syrian National Coalition wants a transitional government to replace Assad, reiterating Tuesday that it finally decided to attend the peace conference in order to establish a transitional government with full executive powers "in which killers and criminals do not participate."
That's the stated goal of the peace conference, agreed upon by international powers in preliminary talks in June.
But Assad, whose soldiers have notched up recent military victories, points to the ascendance of Islamic militants to temper Western enthusiasm for the rebels. He has said he has no intention of stepping down and, on the contrary, may run again as president later this year.
Still, by agreeing to meet them, Assad for the first time has acknowledged an opposition that he has long derided and dismissed as "terrorists" and "mercenaries."
"We must take small steps," Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the German foreign minister, said in Paris on Tuesday.
A comprehensive end to the war in Syria is probably not possible, but smaller goals may be achievable.
Syria's government last week proposed a cease-fire in the embattled city of Aleppo and a prisoner exchange with the opposition, but left the terms vague. The opposition has accused the government of reneging on promises before and declaring cease-fires in order to buy time. There are also questions as to whether a truce is remotely possible in a devastated city where scattered rebel groups have been locked for months in a stalemate with government troops.
Prisoner exchanges pose similar problems: With no unified command, the prospect of pulling together a rebel database of those detained seems impossibly remote. And Assad's government operated secret prisons for years, if not decades, before the fighting started. That doesn't preclude small exchanges and — as Steinmeier said — small steps are the first goal.
Humanitarian corridors would seem a likely starting point, but as one rebel brigade after another has fallen away from the Syrian National Council, it's unclear how the shrinking umbrella group could enforce any agreement it reaches. The rebels could benefit — if they can be persuaded not to seize the supplies for their own forces, and resolve with the government who polices the routes and guarantees the safety of the police.
The first direct talks between the opposition and the government are scheduled to start in Geneva on Friday. News agencies in Russia, which is spearheading the talks along with the United States, said those discussions are expected to last seven to 10 days, then break for a short time.
The reports did not specify the purpose of the break, its duration or how talks could resume. But any agreements reached between the two sides would have to be thoroughly vetted. In the case of the Syrian opposition, that will be complicated by defections and its total inability to influence fighters within Syria.
For a recent comparison, the Dayton peace talks that ended the Bosnian war in 1995 took place over 21 days under far more auspicious circumstances, where the leaders were looking for political cover for a war they wanted to end. In Syria, neither side is looking for — or expecting — a quick end to the fighting. And the fighting has evolved into a proxy war between Shiite Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia, as well as touching on post-Cold War tensions between Russia and the United States.
