SAN DIEGO (AP) — Bob and Mike Bryan beat Dominic Inglot and Colin Fleming 6-2, 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 Saturday to pull the United States to 2-1 against Britain in the first round of the Davis Cup.
The Bryans, identical twins who are from Camarillo in Ventura County, breezed through the fourth set and won the match on a smash by Bob. That set up the "Bryan Bump" — the famed chest bump they use to celebrate their victories.
The twins had a mini-chest bump after breaking Inglot's serve to take a 2-0 lead in the fourth set.
The match will be decided Sunday in reverse singles, when Wimbledon winner Andy Murray of Britain faces Sam Querrey and James Ward of Britain faces Donald Young. Murray won the opening singles match in straight sets against Donald Young on Friday while Ward rallied to beat Querrey in five sets.
The match is being played on a red clay court in a temporary stadium built against the left-field bleachers at Petco Park, the downtown home of baseball's San Diego Padres.
With Britain leading 2-0 entering Saturday, captain Leon Smith replaced Murray with Inglot for doubles.
The Bryans broke Inglot's serve in the second game of the first set and then broke Fleming's serve to win the set.
The Bryans didn't face a break point until they trailed 30-40 in the sixth game of the third set. Fleming hit a backhander down the line to win the game for a 4-2 lead for the British. The teams held serve and the British won the set when Inglot had two straight aces in the ninth game.

This week in Occupy, several shareholder meetings were #occupied, Chicago fought to preserve mental health care, #occupied Wall Street is here to stay and we all prepared to call out sick on May Day. #Maybe you weren't aware? Wall Street is still #Occupied. Albeit with restrictions.
#It's shareholder meeting season, and Occupy has noticed. In San Francisco, members of Occupy bought shares in Wells Fargo specifically so they could interrupt the annual shareholders' meeting. They were able to speak with some of the shareholders, and eventually CEO John Stumpf had the doors to the building closed, which denied entry to shareholders and Occupiers alike. Shareholders who were not part of the protest were allowed to come and go through a side door, while the others were told the meeting was "filled to capacity."
#In Detroit, several hundred assembled outside GE's annual shareholders meeting.
#In London, Gulf Coast residents and activists protested BP's annual shareholders meeting. Gulf Coast residents also bought shares in the company so they could alert executives to the poisoned Gulf, which is producing diseased fish and causing health problems in humans two years after the Deepwater Horizon spill.
#The International Monetary Fund's spring meeting was #occupied.
#Reuters decided that the increasing number of shareholder occupations signifies a trend. Lucky us.
#In Chicago, Woodlawn Mental Health Clinic was #occupied in an attempt to salvage the city's mental health care. Ten were arrested.
#More than 100 Occupy Wall Street protesters stormed Kings County Supreme Court in Brooklyn on April 19 in an attempt to disrupt foreclosure auctions. Thirty-seven were arrested.
#Occupy Wall Street demonstrators interrupted a Bronx foreclosure auction to protest the housing crisis that continues to plague the borough. They serenaded a courtroom of real estate investors with the lyrics, "Y'all are speculating off people's pain. With all due respect, you should be ashamed." "We want a moratorium on foreclosures," said Blair Ellis, 29.
#Employing the language of the 99%, hundreds of San Francisco union workers marched on City Hall to demand better compensation.
#Dozens of members of Occupy Portland attempted to occupy two downtown parks last weekend, but police gave them the same spiel they now give anyone from the Occupy Movement: Exercise your rights and face arrest.
#On Earth Day, Occupy the Farm planted itself in Northern California's Gill Tract, a 10-acre parcel of agricultural land owned by the University of California, which is planning to sell it to private developers.
#Occupy Richmond held an Earth Day protest at a Chevron refinery in Richmond that drew 200. Dozens of groups joined them in protesting the pollution and greed perpetuated by Big Oil.
#An April 17 tax filing day demonstration in Manhattan marched past Bank of America, The Paulson Group, Chase and Trump Tower. The group donned baseball attire to "spend the day rubbing elbows with our favorite 1%ers and fellow Tax Dodgers."
#ACT UP — the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power — staged a protest marking 25 years since it was formed in the same neighborhood as Occupy Wall Street. To commemorate the milestone, a demonstration was staged in the Financial District asking government to impose a small "Robin Hood tax"on each Wall Street trade to finance treatment and services for people with HIV. The Washington Post reported that New York Stock Exchange workers jeered from the sidewalk as protesters wearing Robin Hood costumes were dragged across the pavement.
#Occupy Detroit celebrated its six-month anniversary on April 12.
#Nathan Kleinman, a member of Occupy Philly, has entered the Democratic Congressional primary for Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District.

#A judge has ruled that the New York district attorney has the right to subpoena Occupiers' tweets.
#The American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC, has retreated from crafting Stand Your Ground and voter ID laws…or so it said.

Aw, protesters scaring you, moneymen?
#The police chief who oversaw the U.C. Davis police department during its notorious pepper-spraying of Occupy protesters has resigned. Meet the new police chief.

Pease chosen to receive new KC-46A refueling tanker; to bring 100 jobsBy GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
May 22. 2013 10:00AM
PORTSMOUTH - Pease Air National Guard Base has been selected as the top Air National Guard base to receive the new KC-46A tanker, U.S. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., announced Wednesday morning.
Pending results of an environmental impact study, Pease, home to the 157th Air Refueling Wing, will be the first Air National Guard unit to receive the next generation tanker.
Col. Paul Hutchinson, commander of the 157th Air Refueling Wing said when the final decision is made in the spring of 2014 they expect to add an additional 100 or more full-time jobs at Pease, representing about $7 million in additional direct payroll into the Seacoast economy and about $45 million in military construction contracts over the next several years.
In January, the Air Force announced that Pease was one of five Air National Guard finalists to receive the KC-46A, which will replace the Eisenhower-era KC-135 tankers. Air Force officials visited Pease in February to assess its competitiveness to receive the new tanker.
"This is great news for Pease and the dedicated members of the 157th Air Refueling Wing," Shaheen and Ayotte said in a joint statement. "We're thrilled that the Air Force recognizes Pease's many strategic advantages as well as the 157th's exceptional record of service. We're confident that Pease will continue to provide the best air refueling support in the Air Force for decades to come."
Major General Bill Reddel, adjutant general of the New Hampshire National Guard, said the KC-46 represents an improvement in all respects over the current KC-135 tanker which has been the "cornerstone of global reach and global power."
"Quieter, more fuel efficient, and adaptable to multiple missions it will provide the best value to our taxpayers," Reddel said. "Basing the KC-46 at Pease Air National Guard Base will leverage the advantages and skill sets of the Air National Guard and U.S. Air Force to defend our nation anywhere in the world."
Shaheen and Ayotte have worked together over the past year and a half to highlight Pease's unique advantages and the impressive record of the New Hampshire Air National Guard's 157th Air Refueling Wing to Air Force officials.
Some of the criteria cited in Wednesday's Air Force announcement included Pease's successful existing active-duty association, low active duty manpower requirements, and strategic location in a region of high air refueling receiver demand.
The Air Force will now begin an Environmental Impact Analysis of the base, and, pending a successful outcome, Pease is slated to receive 12 of the new aircraft beginning in fiscal year 2018.

Justin Bieber Talks Spaghetti, True Love + More in Rapid Fire Interview
In a rapid fire interview with Radio Disney, Justin Bieber answered a series of silly questions about friends, food and love. The 'Boyfriend' singer was game to answer them quickly and without too much thought, which made it fun and spontaneous.
In a nutshell, Kevin Hart is The Biebs' funniest celeb friend, while Kanye West is his most fashionable bro. His favorite song to sing in the shower is 'I Will Always Love You.' Can you just picture that? The Biebs belting out the ballad while sudsing up?
He couldn't figure out which flavor of Girl Scout Cookies is his favorite, but he did say that the one meal he could eat every day is spaghetti. Carbs overload!
When asked about true love, the singer sheepishly said it's "important." He did not make a reference to his GF Selena Gomez, but then again, he was offering up one word answers and it wasn't like he could get philosophical about his lady love in this short, sweet interview.

Priests for Life Outreach-Staten Island, NY
Contact: Margaret
Date: June 12, 2009
888-735-3448, ext. 251Atlanta, GA - Dr. Alveda King, Director of African American Outreach for Priests for Life and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., will join Alabama religious and political leaders, including elected officials, at a pro-life march at historic Edmund Pettus Bridge outside Selma tomorrow, June 13, at 10:00 AM, and speak at a rally at the State Capitol in Montgomery at 1:30 PM.
"Forty-four years ago, those who sought equal protection under the law for all Americans were beaten and turned away on 'Bloody Sunday' at Pettus Bridge," said Dr. King. "Today, Pettus Bridge will be crossed again for Americans who are denied equal protection, the unborn."
"In his 1965 Selma-to-Montgomery speech, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said he sought 'a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience,'" added Dr. King. "The pro-life movement still seeks such a society."

WASHINGTON — President Obama pumped three times more money into media ads than Republican challenger Mitt Romney last month as both candidates dramatically stepped up their spending, racing through as much money as they brought in.
August marked Romney's fastest rate of spending yet in the general election: His campaign burned through all $66 million it raised, double what it spent in July, according to documents it filed Thursday with the Federal Election Commission.
But Obama matched that in media ads alone last month, spending $66.3 million, more than three times the $18.4 million Romney put into television and radio commercials.
The spending reports underscore the...

ATLANTA - State and local officials say a recent shooting at McNair Discovery Learning Academy has them considering whether to hire armed officers to patrol elementary schools.
The school's principal, Brian Bolden, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://bit.ly/14REzB2) that he thinks elementary schools should be patrolled by armed police. He says elementary schools are likely to be targets because unlike many middle and high schools, they're not typically patrolled by armed guards.
On Tuesday, a 20-year-old man shot at police outside the school and was later talked into surrendering to authorities by the school's bookkeeper.
State School Superintendent John Barge says the state may need to consider helping districts pay for school police officers.
Interim DeKalb County schools superintendent Michael Thurmond says district officials will discuss hiring guards in the near future.

"Scientists" in London claim to have found evidence of differences in brain structure between conservatives and liberals. You get one guess as to which group is flattered by the comparison:
Scientists have found that people with conservative views have brains with larger amygdalas, almond shaped areas in the centre of the brain often associated with anxiety and emotions.
On the other hand, they have a smaller anterior cingulate, an area at the front of the brain associated with courage and looking on the bright side of life.
The "exciting" correlation was found by scientists at University College London who scanned the brains of two members of parliament and a number of students.
It's exciting to various left-wing web sites, apparently, but the "correlation" identified by these scientists is absurd on its face. No doubt it is good to have both a properly functioning amygdala and a properly functioning anterior cingulate, but what does the function of these areas of the brain have to do with their size? In all likelihood, nothing. It is a safe assumption that every area of the brain is important; does this mean that the world's most admirable people are those with the biggest heads? These people might as well be doing phrenology.
For what it's worth, the role of the anterior cingulate cortex is complex and not well understood. As for the amygdala, the "scientists'" association of that region of the brain with "anxiety and emotions" is entirely arbitrary. Time magazine headlined: "How to Win Friends: Have a Big Amygdala?"
Got a big social network? Then you probably have a large amygdala, according to a new study that found a connection between the size of this brain region and the number of social relationships a person has. The complexity of those relationships — as measured by the number of people who occupied multiple roles in a social network such as being simultaneously a friend and a co-worker — was also linked with amygdala size. …
Understanding the relationship between the size of an individual's amygdala and his or her social relationships could help lead to treatments for a variety of conditions that involve difficulties with social connections, such as depression or autism.
So the British "scientists" could just as easily have concluded that liberals are depressed, autistic loners who live by themselves and eat cat food.
All of this is stupid, of course, but it is a valuable reminder that many who call themselves scientists will sell out science in a heartbeat in order to advance a political agenda. Global warming alarmism is another example of this phenomenon.

TOP INNOVATIONS OF 2013 Science and technology for a secure nation
Impenetrable encryption defends data from cyberterrorism
A hacker could crack a code, steal private information or shut down systems we rely on daily. Small enough to fit in a smart phone, our QkarD technology ("kee-u-kard") provides virtually impenetrable defense, using quantum cryptography to secure computers.
This novel encryption generates security at the subatomic particle level. If someone tries to hack in, that particle is altered, and the owner quietly alerted. And it works—even against super-powerful quantum computers.SHARE
Multipronged HIV vaccine shows promise in monkeys
HIV constantly mutates into many different strains that skillfully kill human cells and cripple the immune system.
Our biologists, immunologists and computer experts developed a "mosaic" vaccine now headed for human trials that stays one step ahead of the virus by creating diverse proteins to attack it—a multipronged approach that strengthens the immune system so it can adapt to the mutating virus.SHARE
Tree death worldwide linked to warming climate
Trees dying at alarming rates is no small concern: trees absorb one-third of human carbon dioxide emissions, and they release this greenhouse gas at death. Our scientists study why and where trees are dying and how their death is caused by a changing climate—and vice versa.
Using the first globally comprehensive data set and our global monitoring system, we predict losses of many forests worldwide by 2100 and discovered wildfires caused by climate change add to the global-warming in a dangerous cycle.SHARE
Roadrunner firsts pave way for more powerful supercomputing
Roadrunner hit the petaflop barrier a few years ago, topping supercomputer lists for years for its power and energy efficiency, and the first to use hybrid processing.
Science needs fast computers to model, for example, a human brain's quadrillion synapsis or to recreate the universe from the big bang to today. Although Roadrunner retired this year, it is ushering in the next generation of supercomputing that will more powerful and efficient.SHARE
Space probes predict hazards to protect spacecraft
Researchers think they've solved a 50-year-old space mystery about how electrons within the Van Allen radiation belts that surround our planet can become energetic enough to cripple orbiting satellites (and it is also the 50th year of the space-based treaty originally verified by Los Alamos sensor technology).
With data collected by space-probe instruments, they discovered how electromagnetic radio waves cause electrons in these belts to greatly accelerate—a first. Such results may help make space weather forecasting possible (and accurate).SHARE
Portable laser tool to thwart nuclear smugglers
Researchers demonstrated for the first time that laser-generated neutrons can detect concealed nuclear material, and that the tool can be small.
Using a super-fast yet powerful short-pulse laser called TRIDENT, we focused neutrons onto a miniscule spot. When neutrons encounter nuclear material, they cause measurable fission, alerting guards that bomb-making material is present. A tabletop device could protect borders and crowded ports.SHARE
RAPTOR telescope witnesses black hole birth
The first "thinking telescope" RAPTOR found the birth of big black holes, possibly the most powerful events since the big bang. This robotic array screens 100 million objects and runs real-time analysis—autonomously alerting us when there's a discovery or a threat.
In 2006, RAPTOR was the first of its kind to make a discovery: the birth of a black hole, announced by a powerful burst of gamma-ray emissions. This year, it discovered the biggest, brightest flash that has occurred in decades.SHARE
Liquid-scanning technology boosts airport security
Uniquely combining Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and X-ray technology, scientists unlocked new threat technology that could make airport travel faster and safer.
This advanced technology called MagRay quickly and accurate determines whether a concealed liquid is dangerous or benign—apple juice or highly explosive material. It can see through thick materials, and it works far better than the traditional X-ray technology.SHARE
Improved biofuel methods: may be greener, cheaper, powerful
We've improved methods to turn abundant plant waste into valuable fuel. Efficiently extracting the plant matter has stumped others.
A plant's energy is tightly bound within hardy plant walls, and conventional methods to extract that energy are environmentally and economically unfriendly. Researchers unraveled these tightly packed nanofibers more efficiently into soluble sugars.
We also improved chemical methods to access the energy under relatively mild, energy-efficient conditions.SHARE

In Defense of Working on Holidays
My former colleagues at ThinkProgress have together this handy shopping guide to tell you which stores will be open on Thanksgiving. Except, their point is to condemn the stores for "dragging millions of workers away from family and friends."
With all due respect, I think the politicization of this issue is worth an eye roll or seven. I remember when Christmas Day in D.C. when I was sitting around the house alone watching basketball because I'm Jewish, and I decided to take a halftime trip to the Safeway. The store wasn't very busy and I was bored and curious, so I asked the (African-American and presumably not Jewish) woman working the register if it was a bummer to have to work on Christmas. She said, basically, no, that it was a great opportunity to pick up an extra shift and earn overtime pay. That seemed like a very sensible answer.
On the other hand, the security guard on duty in my building that day told me that it absolutely was a drag to be working on Christmas, overtime pay be damned. That also seemed like a very sensible answer.
Which is just to say that in a diverse nation with more than 300 million citizens, opinions are going to vary on the pros and cons of extended business hours. How strapped for cash are you? Where does your family live? What's your relationship with them like? How sentimental are you about specific holiday rituals? People will differ. This Thanksgiving there are going to be people with jobs at the Gap who wish they weren't working Thanksgiving but feel that they'd lose their jobs if they weren't willing to take an extra shift. There are also going to be people with jobs at Radio Shack who wish they could earn some extra cash and get out from under that credit card debt. I'm not persuaded that there's a first-order question of social justice here one way or the other.

Handmade gifts and hand written letters have almost become a lost art, I find. They are so much more personal than e-mails/text. I have a lovely friend who lives across the country and I text her several times a day. But we still exchange letters ever so often! I have a whole shoebox full of letters she has sent me! =)ReplyDelete

Whitefield woman struck by Bethlehem police cruiser
September 08. 2013 6:38PM
BETHLEHEM — State police say a Whitefield woman was struck by a Bethlehem police cruiser late Saturday night.
Police say they responded to a motor vehicle accident on Main Street -- Route 302 -- in Bethlehem at 10:45 p.m. Saturday night, involving a local cruiser and a Whitefield woman, identified as Chelsi Shedd, 22.
Police say Shedd was crossing Main Street near the Colonial Theatre when she stepped off the sidewalk in front of a Bethlehem Police Ford Explorer, headed west on Main Street, operated by Officer Scott Powers
State police say Powers was unable to stop and struck Shedd as she stepped out from behind a Subaru Outback parked on the north side of the road.
Shedd was transported to Littleton Regional Hospital, where she was treated for minor injuries and released. Powers was not hurt.
State police say their investigation shows Shedd was crossing the road diagonally, and not in a crosswalk. Police said Shedd's vision was possibly obscured by the Subaru, as well as a Toyota pickup truck parked behind it. Police said alcohol consumption by Shedd may have been a contributing factor, and are still investigating.
They said the speed of the cruiser was not a contributing factor.
State police also reported the portion of Main Street where the accident occurred is lit by street lamps, and the road was when Shedd was struck.
The accident is being investigated by Trooper Sean McCarthy of State Police Troop F.

PRAGUE (AP) — Czech Prime Minister Petr Necas announced Sunday that he will resign over a spy and bribery scandal involving his government.
Necas said he also will quit on Monday as chairman of his conservative Civic Democratic Party.
He has been under pressure to quit since police conducted raids all across the country this week and arrested eight people, including Necas' closest aide and the head of his office, Jana Nagyova. She was charged with ordering a military intelligence agency to spy on three people, including Necas' estranged wife.
Seven other people, including the current and former heads of the Military Intelligence agency and three former lawmakers of his party, were charged with bribery or misuse of power.
"I am aware of my political responsibility," Necas said.
His decision will end his three-party coalition government, which was created after the 2010 parliamentary election. But Necas said he hopes it can stay in power until a parliamentary election planned next year.
This is an optimal solution of the current situation," Necas said. Two coalition partners, the conservative TOP 09 party and the Liberal Democrats, agreed with that plan Sunday.
"We're obliged to do all we can for the government to continue," said Finance Minister Miroslav Kalousek, the deputy head of TOP 09.
That might not happen, however. It is up to the President Milos Zeman to select a new prime minister who would try to form a new government, and it is not immediately clear if he is ready to accept such a solution. The current coalition also doesn't have a clear parliamentary majority and governs with the help from independent lawmakers.
Early elections also are not easy to call because it would have to be approved by three-fifths of the 200 lawmakers, and the opposition does not have enough seats to force it.
The negotiations between the parties are expected to start immediately, and it is not clear how much time they will need to find a solution to the crisis.
Earlier this week, prosecutors said Nagyova was suspected of directing the alleged illegal surveillance without any authorization. In their explanation for the sweeping raids at government offices and other locations, they said Nagyova's motives were "purely private."
Necas announced earlier this week that he and his wife, Radka, have filed for divorce. Newspapers have speculated about an affair between him and Nagyova.

Serpent's Tail
"Murder, which is a frustration…of the race, may have, and in fact has, a good deal of sociological implication. But it has been going on too long for it to be news." When Raymond Chandler wrote those lines in his essay "The Simple Art of Murder," he was talking about detective stories in which murder, however persistent, is seen as a violation of the social order. In the "Factory" series, the sequence of crime novels written from 1984 to 1990 by the late English crime writer Derek Raymond, murder has become a perfect expression of the prevailing political order–in this case, Margaret Thatcher's Britain. Thatcher famously claimed that there is no such thing as society. In the Factory novels, the social order can't be violated because it has already been dismantled.
Thatcher is never named in the Factory books, but her shadow falls over them. With their dogged, lyrical, sometimes sentimental, sometimes appallingly violent manner, they offer a consistent portrait of a world in which people are not respected for their humanity but valued according to their usefulness to those in power. To those foolish enough to still think of Thatcher as a female version of Ronald Reagan–in other words, those who don't understand how her undisguised social Darwinism was far more ruthless than Reagan's blithe free-market cheerleading–the novels might be a shock. The books are certainly as bracing as much of the anti-Thatcher art of the era–novels like Ian McEwan's The Child in Time and Jonathan Coe's The Winshaw Legacy; the music of the Mekons and the more pointed Elvis Costello songs like "Pills and Soap" and "Tramp the Dirt Down"; and especially the astonishing vitality of English cinema of the times, in movies such as My Beautiful Laundrette, Mona Lisa and High Hopes, and in forgotten films like Defense of the Realm, Letter to Brezhnev, No Surrender and Rita, Sue and Bob Too.
The brutality of some hard-boiled detective heroes, their contempt for procedure and regulations, seems to belong to a right-wing law-and-order ethos. But apart from the fallacy of equating order with conservatism, the politics of the genre are not so easily pinned down. (Besides, from Thatcher trashing the National Health Service to Bush abandoning New Orleans and demolishing the world economy, the restoration of order is increasingly being left to liberals.) The rebelliousness of the detective hero–his contempt for hypocrisy, the way he usually finds himself pitted against the interests of the powerful, his thirst for justice–makes him a figure who cannot be controlled or counted upon to uphold the status quo. These contradictions recall Norman Mailer's meditation on the nature of police: "Supposed to be law-enforcers, they tend to conceive of themselves as the law…. They are attached umbilically to the concept of honesty, they are profoundly corrupt. They possess more physical courage than the average man, they are unconscionable bullies; they serve the truth, they are psychopathic liars."

EPPING — Aaron Desjardins has been charged with one count of first-degree murder in the death of his ex-wife, Amanda "Amy" Warf.
EPPING — Aaron Desjardins has been charged with one count of first-degree murder in the death of his ex-wife, Amanda "Amy" Warf.
Desjardins, of 67 Railroad Ave., was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon, according to an announcement released by New Hampshire Attorney General Michael A. Delaney, New Hampshire State Police Col. Robert C. Quinn and Exeter Police Chief Richard Kane.
Warf, a Hampton mother, was found dead inside an abandoned concrete plant in Exeter last week. Her remains were located by firefighters after the building caught fire in the morning.
Warf died from incised wounds to her neck, according to the state's chief medical examiner, who has ruled the death a homicide.
After seven years of marriage, Warf and Desjardins split in 2011, and their divorce was finalized in February 2012, according to court records. Warf was pregnant at the time, and the couple's young son was born two months after the divorce was finalized.
Desjardins remarried the same month, according to court records.
Desjardins appeared to emerge as a suspect in the murder case early on. His home was searched by homicide investigators both Sunday and Monday. Desjardins publicly proclaimed his innocence, telling Foster's on Sunday evening that he had nothing to do with his ex-wife's murder.
"I have been up front, honest and have opened my home and all of my belongings to the police to prove my innocence," he said. "I think that says it all."
WMUR-TV reported that two unmarked police cars returned to Desjardins' home on Tuesday afternoon, several hours before his arrest was announced. A family friend said Desjardins' wife was seen packing up personal items. Investigators were also seen taking a suitcase from the home, according to the television station.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan G. Morrell was not available for comment Tuesday evening.
Warf's body was recovered inside the second floor of an old building at 2 Hampton Road in Exeter on Thursday, March 7. The property shares a border with one of Exeter Hospital's administrative buildings on Holland Way.
Exeter Hospital has confirmed Warf was a longtime employee. Desjardins told Foster's earlier this week that Warf worked in the hospital's billing department before her death.
Warf also worked at Hair Excitement, a salon inside the Fox Run Mall in Newington, for several years, according to her former co-workers there.
New Hampshire State Police and the Exeter police and fire departments have participated in the homicide investigation. They have been joined by investigators from the state fire marshal's office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Desjardins is scheduled to be arraigned in Exeter Circuit Court in Brentwood on Wednesday morning.

|Mets | Kyle Farnsworth refuses outright assignment
Thu, 15 May 2014 08:32:49 -0700
Updating a previous item, New York Mets RP Kyle Farnsworth refused an outright assignment to the minor leagues Wednesday, May 14, and elected free agency instead. "Hopefully find a team to play against this team," Farnsworth said. "I'm very bitter right now." The Mets saved around $750,000 by cutting Farnsworth now, since the signed an advance letter of consent before the year, allowing the team to avoid paying his full contract if he was gone before the 45th day he was on the roster.
Fantasy Tip: Jeurys Familia is now considered the favorite to take over the vacant closer role for New York, with Daisuke Matsuzaka and Jose Valverded looming as possibilities if he falters. Familia should now be owned in all leagues.

New York Mets manager Terry Collins said the closer situation is being determined on a game-by-game basis with RP Kyle Farnsworth having a heavy workload recently. Collins said RPs Jose Valverde, Daisuke Matsuzaka and Jeurys Familia will all be under consideration for a save Tuesday, May 13.
Fantasy Tip: Farnsworth is on a slippery slope right now and could be one blown save or poor outing away from being demoted. If you're looking for long-term possibilities for saves on this club, Familia is probably your best bet.

Fantasy Tip: Kyle Farnsworth hasn't been terrible, but he's not missing as many bats as he did in his younger days. Familia needs to be picked up in NL-only leagues and mixed leagues if you're in need of saves.

Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:34:37 -0700
New York Mets RP Daisuke Matsuzaka had a perfect inning to pick up his first career save against the St. Louis Cardinals Thursday, April 24. Manager Terry Collins said RP Kyle Farnsworth was fine to pitch, but he had appeared in three of the last four days and his velocity was down noticeably during his save Wednesday, April 23.
Fantasy Tip: Dice-K is now a realistic option for save chances behind Farnsworth. Farnsie's drop in velocity may be a concern, since he was favoring his right arm earlier this week, too. While Matsuzaka isn't in the ninth-inning role yet, he figures to see occasional save chances in order to keep Farnsworth fresh.

Hyatt and Starwood Bring Trendy Hotels to Madison
Posted July 25, 2008 by Nicki Krawczyk
Kids dress much better today than they did when I was 13. Maybe it's because there are so many more instructional resources to tell them exactly how to dress cool for their age, but their burgeoning maturity seems to match up well with their burgeoning style. In my youth, the social savvy usually came before the fashion style, so that, for example, you'd think to yourself, "Hey, I was pretty cool at lunch today" and then look down in horror to realize you were still wearing pleated, stonewashed jeans.
Welcome to Madison, the municipal equivalent of this unequal growth spurt. Right in the center of Wisconsin, you've got a gigundo UW Madison college population mixing with state capital politicians and a citizenry of forward-thinking and interesting people. Cool. On the other hand, you've got most venues closing at 6 p.m. and hotels looking like your Aunt Barb decorated them. (She just loves mixing pastels, maroon, and bad art, doesn't she?)
Well, it seems that Madison is finally getting rid of its proverbial pleated jeans. According to The Capital Times, a Madison newspaper, this full-of-potential town is getting a shot in the arm of coolness with the arrival of a hip Hyatt Place Hotel, a Hotel Indigo and a proposed Starwood Aloft Hotel. Modern decor and Wi-Fi, welcome to central Wisconsin.
Interestingly, it doesn't seem that these boutique hotels intend to offer dining aside from snack options, thereby encouraging people to get out and about to see Madison in all its glory. Which is fine, because there's a surprising amount of glory to be seen. And enjoyed. In the late spring, summer and early fall. Because, friends, have you ever been in Wisconsin in the winter? I grew up there; I moved 10 years ago and I still haven't warmed up.
If your business plan involves bringing clients into town in the dead of January, setting them up in a swanky little hotel and then offer them granola bars for dinner, I forecast trouble. If, however, your business plan is to set up delivery to these stranded out-of-towners, things are looking up. After all, what better way to give them a taste of Madison old and new than to let them get cozy in their urban-chic rooms and nosh on a couple of butter burgers and frozen custard? Ah, I miss home.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Education Secretary Arne Duncan is talking with school districts about how to free them from unworkable parts of the federal No Child Left Behind law, signaling he is open to an approach he long tried to avoid.
The Education Department has given 34 states and the District of Columbia permission to ignore parts of the Bush-era No Child Left Behind Law and eight others have waiver applications pending ahead of next week's application deadline. But that still leaves eight states — giants California and Texas among them — operating under the law and set to fall short of its requirements, such as all students being proficient in math and reading by 2014.
The next step could be allowing school districts themselves to petition for exemptions from national requirements that states are all but certain to fail to meet.
"I'm not saying we are going to go down that path," Duncan said Thursday before trailing off, "but if we go down that path ..."
It seems as though his department is already setting that in motion, however.
California, for instance, failed its first attempt at a waiver and remains a top worry for the Education Department officials.
District superintendents met with federal officials on Wednesday in Washington to talk through options and Duncan joined them for 30 minutes of face-to-face discussion.
"California could reapply. There's some innings to be played here," Duncan said, holding out hope just a day after he met with the California Office to Reform Education, or CORE.
That 10-district group includes Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento districts and represents 1.2 million of the state's 6 million students. It is not representing the statewide California Department of Education.
"My strong preference is to work with states," Duncan said. "We can manage a portfolio of 50 states. Managing a portfolio of 50,000 districts is lot more difficult."
But Duncan seems slowly to be softening his opposition to that localized approach to give schools greater control over how to close achievement gaps and lift low-performing schools.
"We've given states until the 28th (of February). That's another week to apply. We're still waiting to see what states come in," Duncan said. "Once we get past that deadline, if we've had certain places not apply and not show interest, then I think it is incumbent on our team to think through what we do to take that next step."
Duncan has repeatedly said that he doesn't want his department to get into district-by-district decisions. Such a shift to approving local projects would potentially add huge workloads to the department and perhaps consume thousands of hours of local districts' time to assemble the detailed alternatives to improve schools on their own terms.
But the window on that is closing.
The next largest state in student population, Texas, has not even applied for the waivers to No Child Left Behind.
Officials there instead were preparing a broader petition to be exempted from all Education Department mandates, which would include No Child Left Behind. Texas Education Agency spokeswoman Debbie Graves Ratcliffe said the state should have its petition finalized "within the next month or so" but wasn't pursuing the waivers within the Feb. 28 deadline.
Duncan acknowledges the problems in the No Child Left Behind requirements, first passed into law in 2001 with bipartisan support. In meetings with individual lawmakers and in testimony over the last few weeks, he urged Congress to take up the measure and make adjustments to expectations that no longer are realistic.
If Congress were to update No Child Left Behind, the states would shift to the new national standards — potentially a headache for states that already have set forth on their own individualized plans.
The law expired in 2007 and its requirements have not been updated.
Sen. Lamar Alexander, a Tennessee Republican and former education secretary, said earlier this month that it was Congress' fault.
"The bottom line is that it expired in 2007 — except for a provision that says if Congress didn't act, it would continue," Alexander said during a hearing of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee where he is the top Republican.
"And Congress didn't act, so it's continuing," he added.

All children will need to bring a sack lunch as well as 2 light snacks and a bottle of water to camp each day. Children will be provided with the opportunity to eat a small snack or enjoy a drink at both mid-morning and mid-afternoon. If your child's medical condition requires them to eat or drink at certain times please alert our camp staff prior to your child's camp day. The Calgary Humane Society is NOT a peanut-free facility however we do request that parents avoid packing peanut products for the safety of all of our campers.
Will my child spend most of the day working directly with animals?
Everything we do at camp is aimed at teaching children about animal care, handling, and welfare. We strive to give our campers an opportunity to interact with several animals each day. However, we are an open-door animal shelter which cares for all animals including some that may be sick, injured, and sometimes aggressive. Our ability to have kids interact with animals relies entirely on the types of animals who are in residence during the camp season. Our two top priorities are to provide our campers with a safe experience and to prevent our resident animals from any undue stress. Some animals simply cannot handle the attention of fifteen children at a time and we endeavor to teach the children to respect the needs of each individual animal. That being said, when a gentle bunny, kid-loving dog, or playful bunch of kittens comes through the shelter, the camp kids are definitely given the opportunity to interact with them. In addition, activities like dog training and animal socializing with guest animal ambassadors are the highlight of the week for many of our campers.
Please note: Activities are age specific. Animal interaction is dependent upon animal health on a day-to-day basis.

A Watering Place
William Cobbet
Saturday Night, 30 Sept. 1826
The Warwickshire Avon falls into the Severn here, and on the sides of both, for many miles back, there are the finest meadows that ever were seen. In looking over them, and beholding the endless flocks and herds, one wonders what can become of all the meat! By riding on about eight or nine miles farther, however, this wonder is a little diminished; for here we come to one of the devouring WENS: namely, CHELTENHAM, which is what they call a "watering place", that is to say, a place to which East India plunderers, West India floggers, English taxgorgers, together with gluttons, drunkards, and debauchees of all descriptions, female as well as male, resort, at the suggestion of silently laughing quacks, in the hope of getting rid of the bodily consequences of their manifold sins and iniquities. When I enter a place like this, I always feel disposed to squeeze up my nose with my fingers. It is nonsense, to be sure; but I conceit that every two-legged creature, that I see coming near me, is about to cover me with the poisonous proceeds of its impurities. To places like this come all that is knavish and all that is foolish and all that is base; gamesters, pick-pockets, and harlots; young wife-hunters in search of rich and old women, and young husband-hunters in search of rich and wrinkled or half-rotten men, the former resolutely bent, be the means what they may, to give the latter heirs to their lands and tenements. These things are notorious; and, Sir William Scott, in his speech of 1802, in favor of the non-residence of the Clergy, expressly said, that they and their families ought to appear at watering places, and that this was amongst the means of making them respected by their flocks!
Memorandum: he was a member for Oxford when he said this!

Ken Chertow is yelling. Well, he's not really yelling, he's raising his voice. Well, that's not completely accurate either, because in order for a voice to raise, technically, it has to start at a lower decibel level then steadily increase. Chertow, in contrast, starts each sentence WAY UP HERE, and ends there too, often after somersaulting out of a wrestling move.
"Who knows how to do a no-hand cartwheel?" he shouts while speed-walking between wrestlers in a packed Bob Riehm Arena. A brave boy, no older than 7, raises his hand, then promptly demonstrates the maneuver. Chertow approves. "Sweet," he says. "Try some."
Some 70 wrestlers from ages 6 to late teens then do as they're told as Chertow, a former three-time All-American at Penn State and a member of the 1988 U.S. Olympic team, weaves his way through the maze, shouting encouragement.
Chertow is heading up his Gold Medal Training Camp, which is being held at Southern Oregon University for the second year in a row. Previously, Chertow's camp was held at Southwestern Oregon Community College in Coos Bay, but Chertow decided Ashland was a better location and called SOU head coach Mike Ritchey. Confirming Chertow's hunch, the camp — which has stops across the country — saw its attendance roughly double in its second year in Ashland.
"I'm pleased with the commitment of the Oregon wrestlers and it's a good group of kids," said Chertow, lathered in sweat an hour into Thursday's session. "There's a good, high level of skill, too."
"I think as the word gets out it'll continue to grown," Ritchey said. "People know who he is. He's one of those people that gets people into his camp system and kids just keep coming back because he's so much fun to be around."
Wrestlers flocked to SOU from across the Rogue Valley for the four-day camp, which wraps up Sunday. Wrestling mats cover most of the gym floor and the campers on Thursday wasted no time putting them to good use. Only 30 minutes into the opening day's workout most of the young grapplers are already sweating through their shirts in an attempt to keep up with Chertow, which isn't easy. He may have hung up his headgear a long time ago, but the 47-year-old West Virginia native seems to be in constant motion, firing off questions, dropping to the mat for solo demonstrations and grabbing unsuspecting wrestlers mid-sentence for a little one-on-one instruction.
And constant encouragement.
"Man, you guys are like in slow motion," he moans.
The pace picks back up. Later, after one of the older campers, a teen with bulging biceps, executes a perfect hip toss Chertow belts out a "Yeeeeah," and the whole place erupts in applause.
"I'm in good shape, I take care of myself and this is what I've done year round since I was 12," says Chertow, when asked where his energy comes from. "And, I like helping kids. I took what I'm good at and became a teacher of it. I've worked hard to be an educational coach and an entertaining coach and I try to combine the two things."
Ritchey says Chertow does that well.
"And it's great for kids to be around an Olympian," Ritchey said. "That's the ultimate in the sport. So for our guys who are here to be around him and see how he coaches, I think that's going to be a great learning experience for them. That was the other reason I wanted to bring (Chertow) on campus, just so they could see a different teaching style."
Five SOU grapplers are volunteering their time as instructors at the camp, helping to teach while also learning themselves.
While Chertow has spent countless hours passing on the fundamentals to the next generation of wrestlers, he's also contributed to the sport in another way. In February, Chertow was leading a clinic at North Medford High School when news broke that wrestling could be dropped from the Olympics starting in 2020. It was a body blow to the sport's fans and competitors, who consider the Olympics to be the ultimate goal.
When Chertow heard the news, he got in touch with USA Wrestling and asked what he could do to help. The answer was simple: educate the masses. Chertow has since used his status to "get the word out to the public — let the public know what's going on so we can let the people know that wrestling's a very popular sport in America."
To Chertow, it's an easy sell — at least in the U.S. But Chertow says politics have come into play.
"It's very popular across America and in most Eastern European and Asian countries," he said. "It's just in western Europe, where the IOC (International Olympic Committee) has a lot of power. They'd rather play squash."

Watch Taylor Swift's Tearful Perfomance Of Her New Song 'Ronan'
Taylor Swift got choked up during her performance of her new song, Ronan, at the Stand Up To Cancer telethon on Friday night, a far cry from her upbeat VMA performance the night before. The song is based on a blog post by a woman named Maya Thompson, whose toddler son Ronan lost his battle to cancer. Thompson has a co-writing credit on the song, here are some of the lyrics:
I remember your bare feet down the hallway
I remember your little laugh
Race cars on the kitchen floor
Plastic dinosaurs, I love you to the moon and back
I remember your blue eyes looking into mine like we had our own secret club
I remember you dancing before bed time then jumping on me waking me up
I can still feel you hold my hand
Little man, from even that moment I knew
You fought it hard like an army guy
Remember I leaned in and whispered to you
Come on baby with me
We're gonna fly away from here
You were my best four years
What did you think of the song? Did you watch the telethon? Taylor was photographed leaving the star-studded event (Robert Pattinson also made an appearance) in tears along with her mother. Has cancer affected your life or the lives of your loved ones? Let us know in the comments.

SKF demonstrates commitment to energy efficiency by sponsoring Shell Eco-marathon Americas
The principle of Shell Eco-marathon is simple: to design and build the world's most fuel-efficient vehicle. Shell Eco-marathon Americas, held recently in downtown Houston, is a unique competition that brings together more than 100 teams and thousands of students from across the Americas to battle for ultra-energy efficiency. Teams register in the fall of the year prior to the competition, and spend months designing and refining their vehicles and technology to compete where distance, not speed, is the challenge.
The 2013 winners Prototype category were a team of students from Quebec's Université Laval. The team's vehicle traveled a mind-boggling 3,587 miles on a single gallon of gasoline at the 7th annual Shell Eco-marathon Americas competition. It was the highest mileage ever achieved for both Université Laval and the Americas challenge. In another category, Urban Concept, Mater Dei also set a record this year with the equivalent of more than 7,000 miles per gallon achieved.
SKF has been a major sponsor of Shell Eco-marathon Americas since the challenge began seven years ago. According to John Bloomer, Head Global Sales, SKF Traditional Energy business unit, "We are proud of our commitment to Shell and their innovative quest to positively impact the future of energy efficiency. The goals of Shell Eco-marathon fit perfectly with SKF's commitment to sustainable, efficient energy production and use."
During the design phase, SKF offers participants free access to their engineering experience and products as they design their vehicles by providing an engineering hotline to help students resolve energy-efficiency challenges.
The eighth annual Shell Eco-marathon Americas will take place in downtown Houston, April 24th-27th, 2014 at Discovery Green Park.
