Lally honored with Ganley Community Service Award in Salem
SALEM — The president of a local bank was honored in a familiar setting Monday afternoon with the presentation of this year's Chief John P. Ganley Community Service Award.
Ann P. Lally was the guest of honor Monday at a special St. Patrick's Day luncheon held at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem.
Denise Dolloff, the club's development director, said Lally is a longtime supporter of local youth programs who has maintained an active presence at the Geremonty Drive facility over the years.
"She's known for her infectious smile and her willingness to always lend a hand," Dolloff said. "Ann truly exhibits the concern, involvement and leadership in Salem that Chief Ganley exemplified."
Lally was heavily involved in the club's capital campaign, which resulted in the renovation of the popular teen center, and has been a great supporter of Club fundraisers, including the annual auction and golf tournaments.
The award named in honor of former Salem town manager and police Chief John P. Ganley, who died in 1989, is presented each St. Patrick's Day to a local individual who demonstrates qualities Ganley personified: leadership, compassion, community involvement and inspiration to others.
Monday afternoon's festivities included speeches by state and local dignitaries, musical performances by "Singing Trooper" Daniel Clark and the N.H. State Police Association Pipe & Drum troupe, and a traditional corned beef and cabbage dinner.
The annual event drew a crowd of roughly 320 people, with guests including Gov. Maggie Hassan, former Mass. Sen. Scott Brown, Senate President Chuck Morse, Executive Councilor Chris Sununu, Salem town officials, police officials from around the region and past Ganley Award recipients.
Former Ganley Award recipient Michael Collins served as the event's master of ceremonies on Monday. Collins received the award in 2010.
The crowd rose in a standing ovation as Hassan took to the podium, where the governor joked around with audience members before offering Lally her well wishes.
"It's great to be in Salem straddling the border of New Hampshire and Massachusetts," she said with a grin. "But enough about Scott Brown."
Motioning across the room to Morse, Hassan noted that "it was a tough week for both of us," referring to the recent House rejection of the casino bill.
"Don't worry, we've crafted a plan to save (Rockingham Park)," she added. "It's not without risk and will no doubt bring some nefarious characters to Salem."
"That's right, we're moving the state Legislature there," she quipped.
When the moment came to praise Lally, however, the governor wasn't joking around.
"This club brightens lives," Hassan said. "What young people need more than anything is to have some grown-ups in their corner. Ann's work as the bank's president speaks for itself, but she's done so much more."
Club officials and the governor noted that perhaps one of Lally's most laudable achievements was the creation of the Hidden Jewel Awards, which honor area women for their community contributions.
"Like Ann, these are the folks who are working under the radar and are usually behind the scenes," Hassan said.

Most importantly, what I took away from the class was the notion that I need to finesse and be creative in tough moments with my kids. It changed everything!

Social Security
Error creating thumbnail
|This article is a part of Wikinvest's Personal Finance section and Guide to Investing. Please contribute or edit to improve it.
In common usage, Social Security ("SS") refers to the Retirement Insurance Program,[1] which is one of the social insurance programs run by the United States Social Security Administration. SS provides income benefits to older Americans and is intended to replace approximately 40%[2] of the income that retirees used to receive from their jobs.
SS is funded by the proceeds from the payroll taxes of current workers. Every time employees are paid by their employer, a certain percentage of their pay is deducted for FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) tax. In 2009, this amount is equal to 7.65% of gross compensation. The employer contributes a matching amount, so the total FICA tax received by the government is equal to 15.3% of gross compensation.[3]
Those who are self-employed pay a special tax called "Self-Employment Tax", which by itself is equal to a full 15.3% of their income.[3] In order to make this tax more equitable to the FICA tax paid by regular employees, half of the Self-Employment tax is deductible from federal income tax.[4]
Of the 15.3% of each person's compensation that the government receives in taxes, 12.4% is used to pay social security benefits to retirees. The remaining 2.9% is earmarked for Medicare, another of the Social Security Administration's programs, which provides health insurance to retirees.[3]
In order to be eligible for SS benefits, you must earn 40 credits (fewer for people born before 1929). You earn 1 credit for every $1,050 you earn, up to a maximum of 4 per year. The amount of earnings needed to earn each credit only increases slightly to keep pace with inflation, so for most people, it will take 10 years to become eligible for retirement benefits.[5]
SS benefits are primarily intended for retirees. However, certain family members of retirees are also eligible to receive benefits. These family members include spouses, former spouses, children up to age 18 (19 for full-time students who have not yet completed 12th grade), and disabled children of any age. These family benefits have a set limit - usually from 150-180% of the retiree's own personal benefit. However, family benefits do not have any affect on the retiree's benefits. [6]
'Full retirement age', as far as the Social Security Administration is concerned, is 67 years old for people born in 1960 or later. The original age was 65 years old, and that still applies to people born prior to 1938; however, the age increases gradually for people born between 1938 and 1960, arriving at the current full retirement age of 67 years.[7]
You can increase or decrease the amount of your monthly social security benefit depending on when you begin receiving benefits relative to your full retirement age. For instance, as long as you have enough credits, you may apply for benefits starting at age 62; however, your monthly benefit will be substantially lower than if you wait until you reach your full retirement age. Similarly, if you wait until you are 70 to apply for social security, your monthly benefit will be even greater than what you would have received at your full retirement age.[8]
Your PIA (primary insurance amount) forms the basis of your monthly SS benefit. The PIA is primarily based on your average earnings in your 35 top earning years. The PIA gives more weight to the first dollars you earned than the later ones, making it a progressive system; i.e. SS replaces a larger percentage of pre-retirement income for low earners than for higher earners. The PIA is also adjusted by specific percentages if you begin receiving benefits either before or after full retirement age, or if you continue to work while receiving benefits. Finally, a COLA (cost of living adjustment) is added to your SS benefits each year, based on the rate of inflation.[9]
An inflation-adjusted limit is set for the maximum monthly SS benefit for someone who retires at full retirement age; in 2009, this figure is $2,323.[10]
SS has become a major policy issue lately because it has become apparent that the system is not sustainable. This is due to the fact that contrary to what many people believe, the payroll taxes of today's workers are not held in a safe account to pay for their future retirement benefits; rather, the tax revenues from today's payroll taxes are used to pay the benefits of current retirees. This has been a sustainable arrangement for most of the history of SS because sustained population growth meant that there were more workers in each successive generation, and therefore, there were more people paying payroll taxes than collecting SS benefits at any given time.
However, the large 'baby boomer' generation is nearing retirement age, and life expectancy has increased. Because of these factors, the worker-to-beneificiary ratio has fallen from 16.5:1 in 1950 to 3.3:1 today, and is expected to reach 2:1 within 40 years.[11] Current estimates predict that SS will operate on an ever-smaller surplus until 2018, at which point it will begin to run at a deficit. Furthermore, while it is true that past surpluses were saved in a trust fund, this fund will be depleted by 2042.[12]
There are a few basic solutions that have been proposed to address the problems with social security. They include: reducing benefits; raising payroll taxes; using money from other taxes; and raising the retirement age. US President Barack Obama stated during his campaign that his preferred method of dealing with the SS issue would be to raise the cap on earnings that are liable for payroll taxes[13] - currently, payroll taxes are only assessed on the first $97,500 that a worker earns annually.[13]

Unarmed, cash-hungry man robs Farmington SubwayBy JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
March 07. 2013 9:04PM
FARMINGTON - Police are asking residents for help identifying a man who robbed the local Subway around lunchtime Thursday.
Officers responded around 12:30 p.m. after a man walked into the chain sandwich store at 457 Main St., handed a note to an employee and fled down Mechanic Street with an undisclosed amount of cash. He did not appear to be armed, according to police.
Witnesses believe the man drove down Mechanic Street in a light-colored pickup truck with a ladder rack. Investigators believe the truck could be an early 2000's tan Chevy or GM with black fender flares, a "Backrack" roof rack and possibly a light bar, according to police.
The man is described as being white and about 5 foot, 6 inches tall.
He was wearing a dark blue Boston Red Sox sweatshirt, light blue medical scrub pants and white sneakers, according to police.
Surveillance photos of the suspect are available on the department's Facebook page: facebook.com/FarmingtonPolice.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Detective Brian Driscoll at 755-2731, ext. 105 or to provide information anonymously via the department's Crimeline at 755-9797.

Georgia beats Tennessee to complete sweep
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 25 points and Georgia recovered after losing an 11-point lead to beat Tennessee 78-68 on Saturday, ending the Vols' six-game winning streak.
Tennessee (17-11, 9-7 Southeastern Conference) suffered its first loss since losing to the Bulldogs 68-62 in Knoxville on Feb. 6. Jordan McRae set career highs with eight 3-pointers and 35 points to lead the Vols before fouling out with about 1 minute remaining.
The Vols, who moved into NCAA tournament consideration with their longest winning streak of the season, were denied their first streak of seven straight SEC wins since the 2008 season. Kenny Hall had 10 points but no other Tennessee player scored in double figures.
Charles Mann added 18 points for Georgia (14-15, 8-8), which took its first regular-season sweep of the Vols since 2001. Mann made 12 of 14 free throws. Georgia made 22 of 26 attempts overall.
Georgia, which led by 17 in the first half before losing 63-62 at Vanderbilt on Wednesday night, couldn't hold another big first-half lead against the Vols.
The Bulldogs led the Vols by 11 at 25-14 late in the first half. The Vols rallied to lead 41-40 on McRae's sixth 3-pointer about eight minutes into the second half.
This time Georgia recovered. Freshman Kenny Gaines, who returned after missing one game with a heel injury, hit a 3-pointer with 5:20 remaining to give Georgia a 53-45 advantage. Gaines' added another 3 with 2:56 remaining to push the lead to 12 points.
Tennessee tried to rally behind McRae, who sank two 3-pointers in the final 2:30. McRae sank two free throws with 1:10 remaining to cut Georgia's lead to 69-62. After Mann answered with two free throws, McRae fouled out with 1:02 remaining.
McRae, who averaged 28 points in his last three games, continued his hot streak. He had 27 points in the Vols' 64-58 win over No. 8 Florida on Tuesday night. His previous highs of six 3-pointers and 34 points came in an 82-72 win over LSU on Feb. 19.
Georgia had five turnovers before it scored its first points. The Vols led 7-0 but couldn't take full advantage of Georgia's string of giveaways. The Bulldogs finished with only nine turnovers for the game.
Caldwell-Pope led a quick Georgia recovery, hitting a 3-pointer before stealing the ball from Trae Golden to set up Charles Mann's fast-break basket for a 7-7 tie.
A 3-pointer by Sherrard Brantley gave the Bulldogs a 25-14 lead. Tennessee closed the half with eight unanswered points to trail 25-22 at halftime. McRae closed the half with a 3-pointer and three-point play, giving the junior from Midway, Ga., 14 of the Vols' 22 points in the half.

Dear Smiley: Reading the recent stories about milkmen brought back memories of my days at LSU, taking a freshman class, "Elements of Dairying."
The lecturer was Dr. Evans of the Department of Dairy Science.
There were a couple of hundred students in the class.
On the first day of class, Dr. Evans asked if there were any questions.
A student asked him if it was true that in some countries they drank milk straight from the cow (meaning no pasteurization, homogenization, etc.).
Dr. Evans, without missing a beat, responded, "No, they usually put it in a glass first."
Class was pretty much done for the day!
Rockport, Texas
Weighty topic
Dear Smiley: During the summers of 1957-58, I was on the work crew of Deer Valley Guest Ranch near Buena Vista, Colo., where part of my pay was "all you could eat."
They had the large two-hose milk dispenser used by many restaurants and dining halls common to Western tourist facilities.
Although I was originally told that I could drink all the milk I wanted, after two or three weeks the owner pulled me aside and quietly told me that I should limit myself to no more than two large glasses of milk at each meal.
Even with that restriction, I still managed to gain about six or seven pounds in three months.
Still seems like it was a good deal for a growing teenager.

Dear Smiley: An item in your column on bloopers reminded me of watching The Johnny Carson Show years ago, when I could stay up that late and still get up for work.
Ed McMahon would do live commercials for the show.
He did one for a famous brand of peanut butter, and one night he got his tongue tangled up.
He was holding the empty jar, and as he put the spoon in the jar, he said, "This peanut butter is good to the bottom of the bar."
Well, all hell broke loose, with Johnny and Ed falling down laughing, and I did too.
Funny the things you remember that still make you laugh!

Dear Smiley: About your mention of Twin Cedars Grocery:
In 1949 my family moved to Baton Rouge into a house on "Old" Jefferson Highway between Essen and Drusilla, both of which were gravel.
Twin Cedars was important for groceries and fuel (a 5-gallon gravity pump), and the city bus turned around there.
The route was Jefferson to Lobdell to Government to North Boulevard and Third, where all the city buses congregated.
It was after the war and most folks were lucky to have one car, so the bus was an important mode of transportation and important to Twin Cedars as well.
Many a day I rode my bike to Twin Cedars, caught the bus and spent the whole day in Baton Rouge, making sure I had a nickel left to buy a Popsicle for my bike ride home.
Proprietor Mr. Byron Vernon looked after my bike, and as I recall was a very nice man.
It would be nice to provide a historical maker for Twin Cedars Grocery.
Am I sounding like a dinosaur?

Dear Glenn: Of course not — you're MY age…
Oh brother!
Dear Smiley: This is one of my favorite stories from my childhood:
When I was about 8 or 9 I took my younger brother down to the drug store to buy ice cream cones.
At that time they cost a nickel. He had a nickel and I had a dime.
We went to the soda fountain and ordered our cones. After being served we each put our money on the counter.
The girl took my dime and slid my brother's nickel over to me.
I pocketed it and we left the store.
As soon as we got outside he said, "Give me my nickel."
I explained that it wasn't his nickel anymore; it was my change.
He didn't buy it, and insisted it was his because he had seen the girl give it to me.
When I wouldn't give it to him, he started bawling and dumped the ice cream out of his cone. That caused even more bawling.
I ended up taking him back in and buying him another ice cream cone with my last nickel.
Working man blues
Dear Smiley: Your friend Marvin Borgmeyer used the phrase "hardworking journalist" in your Jan. 30 column (to describe you).
Was he making a facetious statement about what journalists do, or was the phrase a typographical error that should have been written as "hardly-working journalist"?
Baton Rouge
Dear Malcolm: Sorry, I can't answer that right now; I'm busy getting ready for vacation.
Write Smiley at firstname.lastname@example.com. He can also be reached by fax at (225) 388-0351 or mail at P.O. Box 588, Baton Rouge, LA 70821.

How far can a weak 3.8 GPA and 170 on the LSAT take you. I have not one good recommendation, zero extra curriculars, and no voluteer work. My school was not competitive nor challenging. I worked full time while in college and I am a veteran of the Marine Corps. I wish to attend a top 30 school, is that even possible?
There won't be very many former marines applying to the top law schools. This gives you a good anlge. Schools want as diverse a class as possible because that's what makes the school gool. Ride that horse in. Don't dwell on everyone else. Polish yourself to look as good as possible and you will have a legigitimate shot.

BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - Jan 23, 2013) - SolarWinds (NYSE: SWI), a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, cautioned that up to 25 per cent of organizations are at risk as they have no disaster preparedness and response plan, according to a recent survey.
The company urged organizations to implement remote access management solutions that are able to prevent a complete IT failure, or diminish the full impact of a disaster. The survey showed that only 48 per cent of respondents are using remote management software, which ensures that IT issues can be resolved regardless of location.
Conducted by SolarWinds in partnership with Network World, the survey revealed that only 76 per cent of respondents' organizations have a disaster preparedness and response plan for their business or IT department. An aspect of most plans includes remote access for employees to ensure business continuity.
"This result suggests that a staggering 25 per cent of organizations remain at risk of losing their data and systems, with potentially disastrous consequences," said Masami Hashimoto, SolarWinds Senior Manager.

What should the Padres do with Carlos Quentin?
Here's a question worth equal consideration: if baseball reasons alone guide his pen, why would Quentin sign an extension with the Padres or return to them as a free agent in the offseason?
The American League and a different ballpark seem to better suit Quentin's skills. Like many hitters, he'd probably be better off in the National League Central.
Carlos Quentin, like so many Padres hitters before him, doesn't walk into Petco Park, gaze at the outfield's vast horizon and declare, "Wow, this is as beautiful as La Jolla cove."
In 22 career games here, playing in the city where he grew up and enticed the Diamondbacks to draft him in the first round, he's batted .154 with a .267 on-base and a .277 slug. Granted, he's had only 75 plate appearances and 65 at-bats at the ballpark that Kevin Brown built. This season at Petco, he's 9-for-46 for a .196 batting average. He's hit two home runs in San Diego, and both came in the same game, accounting for half of his four RBI in his hometown.
One of the most predictable moments this year came when the Padres announced that Quentin's season debut would be in a ballpark not named Petco. As Strategic Planners are want to do, the Padres gave it some thought. When they finally unveiled Quentin, it was at cozy Wrigley Field with a breeze blowing out. Sinatra's "Summer Wind" came to mind, though it was late May.
Unfortunately for Carlos, all of the outfields run large in the National League West and he runs slower than average, making left field defense more of a chore for him and presumably his surgical knee. A DH-less league also works against his chances of staying in the lineup, not a small matter for a player who's gone to the disabled list six times since 2007. Nor is age on Quentin's side. Soon to turn 30, he's past the typical peak years for a big leaguer, which means a greater likelihood of losing footspeed and getting hurt.
Sometimes a ballplayer who's eager to win a World Series or go to the playoffs will leave stacks of cash on the negotiating table despite the ballpark and the league not being a great fit. When the Padres (34-53) resume play tomorrow, they'll have the worst record in the majors. The gentlemanly NL West is known for producing surprise contenders like the 2007 Rockies, the 2010 Padres and the 2011 Diamondbacks. Carl Lewis didn't jump any farther than Quentin would, however, if he took a leap of faith that assumed the 2013 Padres as postseason material.

For the Children: David Blankenhorn and Kay S. Hymowitz on marriage
"The material Blankenhorn amasses establishes that far from a private relationship to satisfy adult needs, marriage is a social institution to meet social needs.

The Fit That Led to a Country Hit for Merle Haggard
Anatomy of a song: How 'Big City' was written and recorded in a matter of hours
Merle Haggard knows all about hard living, uncertain love and workers ground down by depressing jobs. As one of country music's greatest living singer-songwriters, Mr. Haggard in the 1960s was an architect of the Bakersfield sound—an earthy, California-born style that was more firmly rooted in country's traditions than the polished productions recorded in Nashville at the time.
Mr. Haggard—who will perform Sunday at the Grammy Awards—grew up in Bakersfield but soon ran afoul of the law in the 1950s, landing in prison after...

The species is endemic to the crater Lake Barombi Mbo (7 km²). The species is currently major threat is from oil plantations and slash and burn agriculture leading to sedimentation and pollution in the lake (1 location). There are plans to commercial development the area for tourism. There is also a potential threat from the lake 'burping' - CO2 (as in Lake Nyos). In addition deforestation of the surroundings of the crater may cause more wind which could lead to the lake 'turning', as the lake is stratified, lower layer being very low in oxygen and high in organic matter. Higher winds may cause currents in the lake which could cause this lower layer to mix with the upper layer where the fish live. This would cause a massive decrease in oxygen in the water and kills the fish. Together with the water abstraction to supply the town of Kumba (which is likely to increase) and the plans to commercial development the area for tourism, this species is considered Critically Endangered.

|Habitat and Ecology:
|Myaka myaka prefers open water regions at greater depths, but ventures into the more shallow areas of the lake to spawn. It mainly feeds on phytoplankton and small insects. It is probably ovophilic mouth-brooder (Lamboj 2004). This species is demersal.
|Major Threat(s):
|The species is potentially threatened by crater lake 'burping' - CO2 gasses (pers. comm., Brummet, R.) as in Lake Nyos. There is evidence that the lake released some CO2 in 2007, as many deep water species were found dead on the surface in the middle of the lake, the water was also very turbid (pers. comm., Dening, C.). Deforestation, palm oil plantation and slash and burn agriculture are leading to pollution and sedimentation of the lake. Deforestation of the area surrounding the lake would lead to increased wind and therefore risk of turnover (it is a stratified lake, where the lower part is very low in oxygen and high in organic matter). This would destroy the top stratified layer where the fish live. Water abstraction is also present in the lake to supply the town of Kumba, which is likely to increase. This will also increase the likelihood of the two stratified layers mixing. There are also plans to commercial development the area for tourism. However, there are no introduced species in the lake, and commercial fishing is forbidden in the lake.
|Conservation Actions:
|Commercial fishing is forbidden in the lake.

You don't have to imagine. Many of the older fans would throw a fit. The passion regarding the name is such that if you are not a 'skins fan, you are better off not commenting on the issue here. For the record, some former players called for a name change while they were still playing.

Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson 'off her head on drugs'
Ex-husband says buxom beauty let assistants go on $500k shopping binge
Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson and her daughter were "so off (their) heads on drugs" that she let her assistants go on a $500,000 shopping binge, her ex-husband told a London court.
Advertising executive Charles Saatchi was testifying at the preliminary phase of the fraud trial of sisters Francesca and Elisabetta Grillo.
But the bombshell of the day was Saatchi's email to his ex-wife — the pair split after he allegedly attacked her at a London café — read by Judge Robin Johnson.
"Of course now the Grillos will get off on the basis that you (and) Mimi (Lawson's daughter) were so off your heads on drugs that you allowed the sisters to spend whatever they liked and yes I believe every word they have said," the email says.
Detectives asked Saatchi what exactly he meant in the message to Lawson.
Saatchi told police: "At the time of sending the email I was completely astounded by the scale of drug use set out in the statements (from the defendants).
"Nevertheless I did believe the allegations that I'm referring to in the email. I have been asked whether it referred to a belief that Nigella or the children permitted the sisters to spend whatever they liked.
"I can't remember precisely what I had in mind. On reflection, I was simply speculating that the sisters would use this information to defend themselves."
Lawson, 53, divorced Saatchi, 70, in a brief hearing last July.
Defence lawyers were keen to hear details about Lawson's alleged drug use.
The celebrity chef's lawyers have slammed Saatchi's drug charges as "totally scurrilous."
Saatchi said he was oblivious to any drug use by Lawson during their 10-year marriage and that it came to light only after the pair split — and that the café argument was triggered by her use of drugs.
The Grillo sisters' lawyers describe them as "innocent pawns" in a bitter public relations war between Saatchi and Lawson.
Lawson is expected to give evidence during the two-week trial.
CORRECTION: This story has been updated to make a small change in the first paragraph (from "her" to "(their)" and fix an error in the paragraph starting "Lawson, 53…"

Accomplishment: Teach for America, Graduate work at an Ivy League school
Major: Liberal Studies
House: Amici
When Karin Blythe '08 graduated from Graceland, she left Lamoni "on a high." After getting involved with Graceland Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE), the Honors Program, Campus Ministries, Student Government and House Council, Karin knew she had the skill set to take on the world. And that's exactly what she set out to do.
Karin was accepted into Teach for America, a prestigious, two-year program that stations ambitious educators in low income, high-need school districts to ensure that children who grow up in poverty receive an excellent education. Through Teach for America, Karin was certified to teach middle school Math, and after a brief, but rigorous, training workshop, she was sent to an area of high need: Newark, New Jersey.
Transitioning from what Karin calls the "simple joys" of Lamoni to an economically challenged, sprawling suburb of New York City, Karin tackled the tasks of being a first-year teacher and her Teach for America requirements.
"It was quite a lot to jump into," said Karin. "It was a very, very challenging experience. Nevertheless, when I came back for my second year, I applied everything I had learned, and it was incredible. I invested myself in that community and it's something that will impact the rest of my life."
"The liberal arts aspect of Graceland has been incredibly valuable; it prepared me for things I never knew would come my way. I left Graceland with a diversity of skills which allowed me to be flexible in a variety of settings."
After finishing her term with Teach for America, Karin interned a year with the World Service Corps, and began researching graduate programs that would combine her passion for education with her international aspirations. Inspired by some of her Teach for America struggles, Karin started looking into programs that address education policy and focused on Ivy League schools. She said Graceland's Honors Program really "set me up with a drive for high quality education."
After a rigorous application process, Karin was accepted into the prestigious Columbia's Teacher College, one of the nation's oldest and largest graduate schools of education. Karin will complete her degree in Education Policy: International Education Development this fall.
Far from her alma mater now, Karin says Graceland continues to have a significant impact on her life.
"The liberal arts aspect of Graceland has been incredibly valuable; it prepared me for things I never knew would come my way. I left Graceland with a diversity of skills which allowed me to be flexible in a variety of settings."

Gary Hoey
garyhoey.com | Facebook | Twitter | MySpace | Amazon.com | iTunes
Gary Hoey's latest updates:
World renowned instrumental rock guitarist Gary Hoey forges new territory as a lead vocalist on his latest Surfdog release "AMERICAN MADE." With 13 instrumental albums under his belt (which have spawned several top rock radio hits and over 600,000 albums sold) Gary proves that his incredible talent goes beyond his fingertips. This album features 12 new tracks including the first single LUNATIC FRINGE.
Multi-tasking as writer, producer and guitar player, Hoey has had clients who include DISNEY, ESPN, NO FEAR, performed the National Anthem for the SAN DIEGO PADRES and the BOSTON RED SOX. Hoey's first break came when Ozzy Osbourne showed up in Boston looking for a guitarist. Osborne liked Hoey's tape enough to fly him to LA for an audition. Three months after the audition, he was heading west in a U-Haul, with seventeen thousand dollars in his pocket from teaching guitar and nowhere to go once he got to L.A.
In 1993 Gary Hoey launched his career with the hit song "Hocus Pocus." his fiery technique helped to send it to the top 5 on Billboards charts, The Boston raised guitarist covered the tune on his debut album, Animal Instinct (Warner Bros Records), transforming Hoey, a then-struggling player into a cult hero. He followed with the soundtrack to the surf saga Endless Summer II (Warner/Reprise), which cemented his status as a demi-god among surfers. Even Dick Dale, the surf-guitar king gave Hoey his blessing, proclaiming him his favorite modern guitarist.
Hoey has maintained that status with a series of blood-boiling albums that are heavy on riffage while upholding the basic rock-and-roll values of melodies, hooks, and heart. He's also diversified, creating his popular Ho! Ho! Hoey series of Christmas CDs.
Hoey has toured and traded licks with the likes of Brian May (Queen), Ted Nugent, Foreigner, Joe Satriani, The Doobie Bros, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Eric Johnson, Steve Vai, and Peter Frampton" to name a few.
Gary is endorsed by Peavey amps. He's currently using the XXX amp and is in the process of redesigning it with Peavey to release a Gary Hoey signature amp.

Suffolk University graduate Jonny Orsini makes his Broadway debut in The Nance opposite Tony Award winner Nathan Lane on March 21, and Orsini says his experience at Suffolk had a great deal to do with his success.
Switching gears in college
"I started out as a journalism major at Suffolk, but I found the Theatre Department, both teachers and students, so welcoming, I switched my major," Orsini says from his home in New York.
At the Lyceum Theatre on Broadway, Orsini, who graduated in 2007, stars as Lane's love interest in playwright Douglas Carter Beane's new play, "The Nance."
Paired with Nathan Lane
The play is a period piece, set in the 1930s, that tells the story of Chauncey Miles [Lane], a popular headline performer who played the nance, a campy, homosexual man. Beane's story uses both humor and pathos to tell the story of a homosexual man whose secretive, messy offstage life contrasts with his outrageous onstage antics.
Although Lane has won acclaim on both stage and screen with The Producers and The Lion King, Orsini says he wasn't starstruck.
"I've had the chance to work with a couple of big-name people," he says, including Keanu Reeves and Kristen Wiig, on films scheduled for release this summer.
"I try to focus on projects that mean something to me, where the story is bigger than the individual's involvement," he says.
As for Lane, Orsini says he knew him from the film The Birdcage, the Mike Nichols-directed adaptation of the French film La Cage aux Folles.
"The scene where Robin Williams tries to teach [Lane's character] to be a man really made an impression on me," he says.
Orsini, who grew up in a small town in Connecticut, says he knew little about Lane's musical theater career.
Introduction to acting
"I don't have a musical theater background," he says. "I played sports in high school and really didn't do any acting until I got to Suffolk."
At Suffolk, he was most influenced by Theater Professor Wesley Savick, who threw in unexpected reading material in addition to theater texts.
"He really opened my mind to Eastern philosophy when we read Zen and the Art of Archery," Orsini says. "And it was really about not always taking the direct approach to acting or directing."
Early roles
As a junior, Orsini starred in Boston-based Company One's production of After Ashley and was then cast in SpeakEasy Stage Company's production of Beane's The Little Dog Laughed, repeating his role at the Hartford Stage Company immediately after the Boston production closed.
"I really connected with his characters and his style of writing," Orsini says. "His plays are hilarious. He takes a cold world and gets you to laugh to protect the heart underneath."
An actor who writes
Orsini's appreciation for Beane's scripts comes from his own interest in writing.
"I wrote a ton in college, partly because of the influence of Ronan Noone, who taught playwriting." he says.
While he hasn't abandoned his own writing, Orsini says he's 100 percent focused on acting right now.
"I work really hard at it," he says. "But I also try to have as much fun with it as I can."

"The White Lions"
Deprived of protective coloring on Africa's grasslands, the rare white lions born there seldom live to maturity. In South Africa's Kruger National Park, two white sister cubs seem to be beating the odds as cameras follow their family group consisting of their mother, aunt and the aunt's cubs. The two adult females must be extra vigilant and wily to raise their offspring without a male to protect them. G

Personal computing discussed
Moderator: Dposcorp
just brew it! wrote:Just because it is on free broadcast TV doesn't mean it isn't copyrighted.
I have no idea how the copyright laws work over there in Spain, but here's the situation in the US: Copying for personal "fair use" purposes (e.g. time shifting) is permitted, but circumvention of DRM is not. So we're in the rather bizarre situation where the tools needed to exercise your fair use rights are technically illegal! US broadcasters are also implementing something called the broadcast flag, extending DRM to free over-the-air programming as well.
Sounds like Europe does not have an equivalent of the broadcast flag (yet), so at least you're in the clear there. But *if* the reason you can't play these files on your PC is some form of DRM, I'm afraid we can't discuss how to get around it here.
just brew it! wrote:If the content is indeed encrypted or copy protected, then discussion of tools to remove that protection is against the forum rules, as circumvention of copy protection is a violation of the DMCA in the US (where this site is based).
If it can be determined that this is merely a format conversion issue (and not a copy protection issue), then this discussion can continue; otherwise not.

Quick arrests after store across from new police station is robbed
By PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
MANCHESTER - Police quickly arrested two men early Thursday morning when a convenience store across the street from the new police station was robbed.
The robbery happened at 12:55 a.m. at Tedeschi Food Shop, 245 Maple St., directly across the street from the Manchester Police Department's new building on Valley Street.
Sgt. Paul Thompson said two men robbed the store and a knife was shown.
"Units responded quickly, obviously," Thompson said.
Police immediately set up a perimeter in the Valley and Maple street area, and Officer Ben Foster and K-9 Moose were brought in to track down the men.
Thompson said the men saw the dog and ran, directly toward other officers. Arrested were
Jesse Reidy, 19, of Manchester, and Brannon Collins, 18, of Manchester.
Police said they found cigarettes, a mask and two knives wrapped in a cloth not far from where they found Reidy.
Police said Collins had a
mask, as well as cigarettes and cash consistent with what was taken in the robbery.
Both men were charged with resisting detention and robbery.
Police moved into the new police station only a week ago. The station stands out at night because it is illuminated with blue lights, Thompson said.
Previously, police headquarters was on Chestnut Street near downtown.
Both men are to be arraigned this morning in 9th Circuit Court, Manchester District Division.
Thompson said the robbery is not related to others that took place on the city's West Side.

A couple of years ago, I wrote that we should kill the myth of the "M" manual exposure mode. This struck a chord for a lot of people.
Two years later, the myth is still going strong... still doing damage to many budding photography enthusiasts.
Recently I put out a survey on mastering exposure. Reading hundreds and hundreds of surveys from photographers struggling to understand exposure, I feel the need to revisit this myth and do what I can to take it down.
Fact is, I still see so many people in pain, because some old lion told them that the "proper" way to make an exposure was to use the "M" exposure mode.
Can we tear apart and destroy this myth once and for all?
I don't like seeing people in pain, continually getting disappointing results.
I don't like seeing people frustrated with photography.
This is supposed to be FUN!
You don't need to shoot in the "M" mode in order to be a "real" photographer. You don't need to live in manual to be a worthy, talented photographer.
Yes, the "M" mode has its place. Don't get me wrong. It's important to know generally how it works and not FEAR the manual exposure mode. For me, it certainly comes in handy when shooting with studio lights, and in a few tricky situations.
But 99 times out of 100, I find I get better results... yes, BETTER results, and have a lot more fun in the process, when I trust the Evaluative mode (aka Matrix mode) on my camera.
WIth today's technology, my pictures are rarely too dark or too bright. And shooting Camera Raw files, I can easily tweak the few that do appear a bit under or over exposed.
By trusting the amazing modes Canon, Nikon and the others have developed over the past 15-20 years, I often get great exposures and, what's more, I catch many more "decisive moments". It's a lot faster to use the semi-automatic modes such as Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority.
Note: I never use the fully automatic modes (the scene modes or that little green rectangle on my Canon). And I stopped using the shiftable "P" program mode over 20 years ago. I knew the day they came out that the fully automatic modes were a terrible way to shoot as I never know what settings my camera was selecting for me. And using the shiftable "P" mode often added an unnecessary step of adjusting the settings that the camera first selected for me. So I stay away from the fully auto modes and the "P" mode.
Almost exclusively, I stick to the "Av" Aperture Priority mode and keep my ISO as low as possible. In the Av mode, I select a small f-stop number if I want small (shallow) depth of field, and a big f-stop number if I want big (deep) depth of field.
Usually, that's my #1 concern.
And if my main concern is freezing movement with a fast shutter speed, I choose a small f-stop number, knowing that, when I keep my ISO locked at 100, this will result in the fastest shutter speed.
If I want to blur motion and get that cotton-candy effect (when photographing a stream or waterfall or traffic, for example), I choose a big f-stop number, knowing this will result in a slower shutter speed.
It's that simple.
Some old lions may grumble when they hear me recommending the semi-automatic modes. My theory is that when these old lions first started in photography, it was a different world.
When they first got going, they, like me, invested many painful spent learning how to take every single photo in the manual exposure mode. I remember writing down each combination of exposure settings in a pocket notebook and using these notes when bent over slides on a light table, linking the results with the settings I chose when I first made the exposures.
Come to think of it, many of us were also stuck with manual FOCUS too. No autofocus to help us catch those fast action shots!
And here's the thing... many old lions, learning in the crucible of adversity, became attached to their pain, attached to the frustration of learning the hard way, attached to their manner of doing things.
I say: it's a new world.
It's time to let go of the past.
The past does not equal the future. The past doesn't even equal the present!
We now have extremely well-developed tools. We have fast, reliable autofocus and we have AMAZING Matrix and Evaluative exposure metering.
It's time to trust the tools we use and put our focus on making CREATIVE choices... deciding whether we freeze or blur motion, or whether we isolate or extend depth of focus.
Let's stop being bogged down by the old mechanics.
I say, the best way to master anything is through practice. And the best way to practice is to do what you love and enjoy doing it.
Isn't it more fun to get great pictures WHILE you're learning the art of creative photography? Why put off the joy?
I hereby give you permission to trust your camera's semi-automatic exposure mode and ENJOY YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY AGAIN!
Let's all stop deferring the joy of photography until some future date, when we are such a talented, official, "real photographer" that uses the "M" mode all the time.
What say you? Do you really need to shoot in manual?
Do your pictures really turn out too dark or too bright often?
Do you shoot Camera Raw files (files that give you more latitude)?
Do you think that if you do pick one semi-automatic mode, master it, and concentrate on making the most creative exposures you can - rather than just a correct exposure... do you think you'll have more fun making photos, and maybe even get more outstanding pictures in the process?

Flacco, Ravens upset Steelers in AFC wild card showdown
Remember Super Joe Flacco?
The guy who did a great Joe Montana impersonation in the NFL playoffs two years ago, cashed in with a six-year, $121-million contract and then disappeared?
Well, he might be back.
Flacco and veteran wideout Steve Smith stood out on offence as the Baltimore Ravens upset their arch-rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers, 30-17 Saturday night in the first AFC wild card playoff game before 62,780 at Heinz Field.
Although cold rain came down in sheets all morning and much of the afternoon, expected game-time rains never materialized on an unseasonably mild night in the Steel City.
Steelers fans probably wished they had.
Behind a patchwork Ravens offensive line without both regular tackles, and featuring two green rookies, Flacco got hotter as the game went on, throwing two second-half touchdowns as the Ravens rediscovered the killer elements of their passing attack that had gone AWOL in December.
Flacco finished 18-of-29 for 259 yards and wasn't intercepted.
Many of his teammates praised him afterward for being his usual positive self down the stretch of the regular season, even as the offence seemingly fell apart.
"The situation may change," Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs said, "but Joe doesn't."
Smith caught five of Flacco's passes for 101 yards. Smith said the key to winning was being aggressive, and the Ravens were.
"You're never going to win a game by osmosis, hoping to win," Smith said.
The Baltimore defence roughed up Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, sacking him five times and hurrying or hitting him many more.
The Ravens, who finished third in the AFC North behind Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, advance to play at New England next Saturday at 4:35 p.m. EST.
The Ravens led 10-9 at halftime even though the Steelers held the ball two-thirds of the time. But long Pittsburgh drives kept dying, and once the Ravens went ahead 7-3 they never trailed again.
To start the third quarter, Flacco drove the Ravens 57 yards for a 45-yard Justin Tucker field goal. The key play was a 32-yard pass-interference penalty by Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh then went three-and-out for the first time in the game, with fans at Heinz Field and Steelers players and coaches all incensed that a pass-interference penalty was not called on a deep Roethlisberger throw to receiver Antonio Brown.
Replays seemed to show it was a good call, that Brown tripped himself.
Flacco then engineered one of his best drives of the season, if not since his spectacular, MVP-earned play in Baltimore's Super Bowl run two years ago.
He lobbed a beautiful deep pass down the right sideline to Smith, who signed with the Ravens in March when the Carolina Panthers dumped him after 13 years.
Smith tenaciously leaped over a Steelers defensive back to make the catch for a 40-yard gain.
Flacco kept avoiding pass rushers on the drive to complete two more passes, for six and nine yards, then adroitly scrambled for five.
After a two-yard loss, Flacco evaded pressure, rolled left and fired across his body into the back of the end zone to receiver Torrey Smith for an 11-yard touchdown.
Baltimore thus jumped out to a two-score lead, 20-9, with 4:13 left in the third quarter.
"They had more splash plays," Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said.
On not having star running back Le'Veon Bell, who hyper-extended his right knee last week, Tomlin said: "We're not going to let that be the story of this game … There'll be no excuses. I said that at the top of the week and I meant it.
"We didn't make enough plays. The Baltimore Ravens did."
The stadium went silent at the end of the third quarter when Ben Roethlisberger was sacked on 3rd-and-8, as momentum swung entirely in Baltimore's favour.
But on the first play after Flacco successfully snuck for a first down on 4th-and-a-foot at the Pittsburgh 49-yard line, Ravens running back Justin Forsett fumbled after smacking into a teammate. Pittsburgh defensive end Stephon Tuitt recovered.
On the next play, from Baltimore's 45-yard line, Roethlisberger hit Brown on an angled straight-line fly, where he rolled into the end zone for an apparent touchdown. But video review showed that Brown's knee was down a half-foot short.
After an illegal-procedure penalty on Pittsburgh, Roethlisberger hit rookie receiver Martavis Bryant on a lob into the right corner for the touchdown.
Roethlisberger's two-point conversion throw was intercepted, so Baltimore led 20-15 with 11:01 left in the fourth quarter.
Flacco kept the hot hand, though. Baltimore's drive stalled at the Pittsburgh 34-yard line and Tucker made a 52-yard field goal to give the Ravens a 23-15 lead with 8:47 left.
Then the Steelers unravelled.
Roethlisberger threw a pass that tipped off running back Ben Tate's hands and Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs intercepted the ball between his knees at the Pittsburgh 21-yard line.
"I'd rather it have been a sack and forced fumble, but I'll take the pick," Suggs said.
On the next play, Flacco faked a handoff, rolled right on the waggle and threw to backup tight end Crockett Gillmore for a 21-yard touchdown.
Baltimore went up 30-15 with 7:56 left.
Roethlisberger led the Steelers on a desperation drive deep into Baltimore territory, but after missing a couple plays while he regained his senses after a pulverizing hit, Big Ben was picked off in the Ravens end zone by safety Darian Stewart with 4:25 left.
The Steelers blocked a Ravens punt and the ball bounded through the end zone with 1:56 left. The safety made it 30-17.
After Baltimore's free-kick punt, the Steelers didn't even advance to midfield before a fumble — their third turnover in the final nine minutes — effectively ended the game.

Three Lady Buccaneer players scored in double figures with junior forward TaRonda Wiles (
"You know it really feels good to get another championship under our belt," commented head coach Karen Kemp, who has now guided the Lady Bucs to three straight postseason appearances. "We had to fight there for forty minutes, but fortunately, we kept our composure when they made runs and were able to bring another championship back to

After shooting 62.1 percent from the field in the first half against Mercer on Friday, ETSU couldn't get going on offense to start the opening 20 minutes of the championship contest. The Lady Bucs were held to a dismal 30.3 shooting percentage (10-33) and finished only 2-of-10 from beyond the arc.
Jacksonville opened the second half with a 3-pointer by Courtney Jackson, but the Lady Bucs continued to fight and Wiles' baseline jumper cut the deficit to four, 31-27, with 17:48 left in the contest.
From there, ETSU continued building its run, and Gwen Washington's (Manassas, Va.) first field goal of the game put the Lady Bucs on top 34-33 with 15:17 on the clock - giving the top-seeded team their first lead since the 14:18 mark of the first half (9-8). Overall the Lady Bucs mounted a 12-0 run and grabbed a 39-33 lead after Evans sank a trey in front of the ETSU bench, but
The Dolphins responded with 10 unanswered of their own and regained a 43-39 lead when Valerie Jones connected on a jumper, but an Evans three and a Belcher lay in quickly put ETSU back up 44-43 at the 8:55 mark.
Those shots by Evans and Belcher fueled a 12-0 run as ETSU's defense kept JU scoreless for over six minutes and twelve seconds, and the Lady Bucs built a 51-43 lead with less than four minutes to play.
Then, with ETSU leading 55-45,
For the game the Lady Bucs shot 37.3 percent (22-59) and after struggling from beyond the arc in the first 20 minutes, ETSU knocked down 3 of its 6 three-point attempts in the final 20 minutes to finish 5-of-16 (31.3 percent). ETSU also cleaned up on the glass - out-rebounding the Dolphins - 50 to 37.
The Dolphins were led by Regina Omoite's 10 points.
Joining Evans on the all-tournament team included First Team All-Atlantic Sun selection TaRonda Wiles. Wiles and Evans have now been selected to the squad for the last two seasons.
The Lady Bucs will now enjoy some time off before learning their destination to the NCAA Tournament. ESPN will air its Selection Monday special on March 16th - beginning at 7 p.m. The 2009 NCAA Tournament will begin its first round play the weekend of March 21 and 22.

Much to my surprise, Corey Seager made an appearance during Thursday's exhibition game against Meiji University.
The first thing I noticed was his size, which I touched on in my last post. He struck out looking in his first at-bat and I took video of his second at-bat.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any decent (free) video editing software, so this is completely uncut and raw.
Seager takes a vicious swing around the 1:30 mark. He knew Jared Massey and I were there, so he was trying to impress us with his swing. That has to be it.
Here's the video.
He's an impressive physical specimen -- a different kind of impressive than Yasiel Puig (who absolutely dominated a baseball game tonight for five innings, which I'll write about on Saturday).
The Dodgers may have very well picked a winner here. I'm looking forward to following his progression through the minor leagues.

Thanks for the vid. Great to see Seager at bat. If you're running a windows laptop, take a look at virtualdub (http://www.virtualdub.org) it's not fancy and a bit on the technical side but it does an excellent job and is free.ReplyDelete
Also, could you get some footage of Mat Magill? I know he's on the minor league side of camp now but would love to see some footage of him pitching.

While not everyone believes in ghosts, there are still houses that are generally considered to be haunted—and that's already been covered here on CNBC in America's Most Haunted Homes. Plenty of houses just look scary, as if they're starring in a ghost story or a horror movie. A few of the following structures have starred in scary movies.
But scary movies are just one frightening association in the following collection of homesincluding some suggestions and images from Zillow.com. Other residences here are not (necessarily) haunted, but they look as if they could be. One had a creepy and kooky famous resident, and another had a notorious resident who's serving several life sentences in prison. Another is said to have inspired a famous haunted house, one appears to be frozen in time, and others have styles that generally lend themselves to scary tales.

On the trail of Poland's CIA secret jails
Today we are on the trail of a 10-year old skeleton in Poland's cupboard, potentially involving the country in a dark chapter in the history of the CIA.
Last month, a new report from the Open Society Justice Initiative shed glaring light on the CIA's so-called "rendition" programme - that is, flying suspected terrorist prisoners to secret sites outside the US and subjecting them to what the Americans called "enhanced interrogation techniques", something the report itself calls torture. It has been alleged that one of the secret jails was located in Poland.
Two men named as victims have now filed cases with the European Court of Human Rights, and although an official investigation is underway, it has made little progress. France 24's Gulliver Cragg reports from the alleged site of the prison.
