Hello -
The English to Latin I could not find in the answer key (the page ends with the exercises from part I). Could someone help me check their accuracy?
1 - We understood that the city, after it had been attacked, was being destroyed by the strength of the soldiers.
Intelleximus urbem oppugnatam* militum vi deleri.
2 - Did you hear the rumors that the soldiers were rushing into the cities?
Audivistine rumores milites in oppida ruere?
3 - We understand that a model of the city walls has been shown to the men who are about to attack the city with fire and sword.
Intelligimus urbis moenium exemplum gladio & igni oppugnaturibus monstratum esse.
4 - They told the father of the brothers that the sons had been chosen in order that they might fight around the city walls.
Fratrum patri dixerunt filios electos esse ut urbis circa moenia pugnaturi essent.
5 - We shall say that poets should write books not only about Jupiter and Juno, but also about the sea and about the animals of the mountains.
Dicemus poetis libros scribendos esse non tantum de Iove & Iunone, sed etiam de mari et montium animalibus.
6 - We know that a war cannot be waged forcefully on the sea by the soldiers without great danger.
Scimus non sine magno periculo bellum in mari vi geri non posse.
* If I wanted to use the construct Postquam..., does this remain part of the infinitive (postquam oppugnatam esse), or do I need to/can I conjugate the verb and turn the subject into the nominative (postquam oppugnata est)?
Thanks for your help!

These photo albums are great! I learned of them through Stacey Julian's Big Picture Scrapbooking class and have accumulated almost 15 of them! I feel like my pictures (I have lots of 'em!!) are finally organized! :)
These are great. Ive been rescuing photos from magnetic albums so I bought these in all of the different colors. They also allow me to journal next to the phots as I place them in the albums.
These are wonderful photo albums. My kids love flipping through them and I'm very happy with the quality of them
If you're in a hurry and have lots of photos, this is a great album!
i bought these for Stacy's class. they work perfectly for storage binders. if you put too many pics in one pocket they tear but 5 or 6 is good

Big hat-tip to @Antischism for bringing this to our attention.
This is currently on the front page, but as far as I'm concerned, it can't get enough attention.
Vote in the poll if you please.
Today (August 12th, 2017), the Unite the Right rally is scheduled to proceed in Charlottesville, VA. The Right being united there isnt just any Right, but one that welcomes white supremacists and self-described fascists. Multiple speakers will say this themselves, and the chants at a chaotic pre-event march the night before included Neo-Nazi slogans.
The purpose of this letter is to clarify the role for libertarianism in this rally which is no role at all.
That clarification is necessary because it might appear otherwise. Three of the listed speakers have at one time or another identified as libertarians: Mike Enoch, Augustus Invictus, and Christopher Cantwell. Mike Enoch previously called himself a libertarian, but now mocks the philosophy as autistic. Augustus Invictus previously attempted to run for Senate through the Libertarian Party. Recently, though, he publicly changed his registration to Republican in disgust. Christopher Cantwell now seems ambivalent about his relationship with libertarianism and anarchism, but his primary identification is with fascism.
Regardless of how any speakers or attendees have identified in the past or present, we want to make clear that this event is not in any way a place for libertarianism. Among libertarians, some identify as right-wing, some as left-wing, and some as radical centrists. Virtually the entire outside political spectrum is mirrored within libertarianism, and this makes for no shortage of infighting. One area where the undersigned have consensus, however, is in a rejection of any attempt to connect white supremacy and fascism to libertarianism. Libertarians, including those who see themselves as on the Right, have no interest in uniting with the horrifically authoritarian Right often called the Alt-Right rallying in Charlottesville.
All this should be exceedingly obvious from even a cursory glance at the two movements.
On a historical note, modern-day libertarianism largely took root in the English-speaking world through Jewish intellectuals, some of whom fled the Nazis. Our movement grew as a revolt against fascism, Communism, and early twentieth-century progressivism. As Thomas Leonard has shown in his Illiberal Reformers, that third enemys intellectual history is closely interwoven with eugenics.
On the level of philosophy, libertarianism stresses the freedom of individuals even when that freedom goes against some supposed collective will. The entire point behind a politics of white supremacy is to replace free association with endless central planning and regulation on collectivist racial grounds. Unite the Right speaker Richard Spencer actively seeks to turn the United States into a 100% white ethno-state. It is impossible to conceive of this happening without a return of the total state and its horrors.
Despite the obvious incompatibility of that totalitarianism and libertarianism (of any kind), an attempted association between the two is unsurprising. Attempts at rebooting authoritarian movements often operate through a tactic called entryism. Entryism is where a smaller political movement attempts to capture a larger one and seize its resources. In cases like fascism and Communism, the tendency towards entryism is probably a joint product of amoral opportunism and an inability to rationally defend their views.
It is necessary, then, for libertarians to restate the exceedingly obvious and insist on the stark differences between our views and those of anyone with any affinity for National Socialist Germany.
We, the undersigned, affirm such a gulf between liberty and its opposite.

Raj: Do you understand we're talking about dark matter colliding in outer space?
Sheldon: Of course I understand. And who are you to tell me about outer space?
Raj: I'm the astrophysicist! "Astro" means "space"!
Sheldon: "Astro" means "star".
Raj: OK, well let me just tell you, if we were having this argument in my native language, I'd be kicking your butt!
Sheldon: English is your native language.
The Hindi for "astrophysics" is खगोल भौतिकी khagol bhautikī - composed of khagol "the vault or sphere of the heavens" and bhautik "existing, material, real, of this world" (according to my Oxford Hindi-English Dictionary).
So Raj is right that the Hindi word for "astrophysics" contains the word for "space". The writers have done their research. (But he's wrong that the etymology of the word, in any language, is relevant to his argument.)
Hindi भौतिक bhautik is of course related to English physics. It's borrowed from Sanskrit bhautika "anything elemental or material", from bhū "to be" - from Proto-Indo-European *bheuH- "to be, exist, grow". This is the source of Greek φυσικός phusikos "natural, physical" (English physics), Latin futūrus "that is to be" (English future), and Welsh bod "to be" (combining with eistedd "to sit" to form Eisteddfod).
Concerning Sheldon's comment about Raj's native language, I suppose it's possible that Raj, who comes from an educated family in Delhi - has two native languages - Hindi and English.

Make the Tax Man Wait!
Would you rather pay a lower tax now or a higher tax later? The easy answer might not be the right answer.
Suddenly, it seems, everyone is talking about selling profitable stock positions before the tax rate on capital gains goes up. If you have held a stock for more than one year and you sell it at a profit before the end of 2012, the Internal Revenue Service will take up to 15% of that long-term capital gain.

STOCKTON - The drama and romance of life on the range will be celebrated in prose and poetry Thursday at "Spirit of the Charro," to be held at The Haggin Museum.
STOCKTON - The drama and romance of life on the range will be celebrated in prose and poetry Thursday at "Spirit of the Charro," to be held at The Haggin Museum.
The event, which starts at 7 p.m., is part of the museum's First and Third Thursdays series and will be presented by members of the Heritage Writers Community. Free wine and snacks will be served beginning at 6:30 p.m.
"Spirit of the Charro" was organized to complement the special exhibition, "Charrer�a," currently on display at the Haggin. The show features more than 150 finely crafted pieces - leather work, silver and iron work, textiles and costumes - designed for the charro, or Mexican cowboy.
The tradition of charrer�a, similar to American rodeo, is deeply revered in Mexican culture. The pieces on display at the Haggin, including spurs and sombreros, saddles and bridles, were crafted by skilled artisans. Create a look inspired by their work and passion with items like these, available locally:
Necklace: A rustic necklace, combining distressed leather with pearl and metallic embellishments, calls to mind both the artistic and utilitarian natures of charrer�a. This one, by Stockton-based jewelry designer Ester Bruno, is available via Etsy.com (etsy.com/shop/empedrinidesigns).
Hat: In a subtle nod to the charro culture, this wool felt fedora - by Stockton-based Dorfman Pacific - has a Western twist (available at REI. Location at Stockton's Stone Creek Village shopping center, or online at rei.com).
Scarf: An accessory like this scarf - with its bright, geometric design - celebrates the lively spirit of charrer�a (Forever 21. Location at Stockton's Weberstown Mall, or online at Forever21.com).
Purse: In two-toned leather, a cross-body handbag, such as this one by The Sak, echoes the shape and feel of a charro's saddlebag (available at Macy's. Locations at Stockton's Sherwood Mall and Tracy's West Valley Mall).

French journalist had a close-up look at Kennedy assassination
The recent musings and opinions regarding the circumstances of the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy brought about a motivation to contact an old friend who covered the events in Dallas and has a thorough knowledge of what took place on that fateful November day a half century ago.
François Pelou worked for Agence France-Presse, the global news service which is the French equivalent to the Associated Press. A news veteran of the Korean Conflict and the Viet Nam War, François was based in New York when he was directed to hurry to Dallas post haste in November, l963. A man with exceptional intellect and remarkable instincts for gleaning facts in a dramatic scene such as the Kennedy assassination, this distinguished French newsman holds the firm belief that Oswald was without accomplice in the shooting of the President.
Several years ago, a mutual friend, introduced me to François, and I have spent countless hours at his flat in Paris recalling what took place in Dallas. We have had many conversations whenever we have spent time together including my home in Athens. Nobody could have had a closer proximity to the action after Kennedy was shot than François. He was elbowed out of the way by Jack Ruby who killed Oswald. Last week, he reaffirmed his conviction that Oswald acted alone. " The work of the Warren Commission," he wrote, "was not perfect but it was serious. Moreover, its conclusions are the same as mine. Oswald shot after keeping JFK in his sights for almost one minute. He missed the first two shots and the third hit Kennedy on the top of his head. The motorcycle cop, who was riding in back of the limousine, told me a few hours after the shooting, when I arrived at the police station, that 'his head exploded.' Oswald was not a sharp shooter but had the badge of rifleman from the Marine Corps. His carbine was excellent and his stand set up at the window (Texas School Book Depository), was perfect. For almost one minute the limousine was in his sight moving slowly toward him. If he didn't shoot earlier, it was because of the sun reflecting on the pavement which partially blinded him. Psychologically, it felt safer shooting when the car turned left and from the rear. For me, there is no question Oswald acted alone."
When I asked about Oliver Stone, the movie producer who disagrees with the findings of the Warren Commission, François was blunt and to the point. "He knows for many years there is no money, books or movies, if you go along with the conclusions of the Commission."
One of the most interesting developments which took place in the Jack Ruby killing of Oswald, according to my French friend, is something that you never see in print. The plan was to move Oswald from the Dallas Police Department to the County Jail. When the Chief of Police met with the media and informed them that they would be bringing Oswald down an elevator and immediately put him in a waiting car parked nearby.
"I object to that," François quotes an ABC newsman. "(The newsman) wanted to be able to show Oswald walking in front of the TV cameras." The Dallas police, who bungled so much of the events, including allowing Ruby to have free run of the police offices, backed off its original plan because of the objection of the ABC newsman.
"The (change in setup) made it easier for Ruby, who was next to me between two cameras to reach Oswald and shoot him. If the original plan had been respected, nobody could have really reached him (Oswald.)" If you ever have a chance to visit the 6th Floor Museum in Dallas, you will see a photograph of François in disbelief as Ruby abruptly pushes past François to stick his pistol into the stomach of Oswald and fire the fatal shot.
A sidebar of note, has to do with Georgia's senior senator (at the time), Richard B. Russell. President Lyndon B. Johnson put Russell on the commission, without the senator's approval. Johnson wanted all the members to sign the report, making the Warren Commission findings unanimous. Russell agreed to sign but with a caveat. That has always been troubling, but his press secretary at the time, Earl Leonard, explains Russell's stance. "He was concerned that there might be some new evidence that might shed new light on the circumstances. That is why he was reluctant to sign."

High school crews hit Lake Massabesic Saturday for regattaBy MICHAEL COUSINEAU

MANCHESTER -- If you pass by Lake Massabesic Saturday, you might see more color than the changing foliage.
For the first time since at least 1882, the lake will play host to a racing regatta with rowers traversing in sleek, colorful shells.
About 375 athletes from seven schools, along with an estimated 500 spectators, are expected to turn out for the regatta, which features teams from Manchester Central, Amherst, Bedford, Hollis-Brookline and Concord as well as The Dublin School and Medford, Mass.
"This is going to be an annual event," said Marc Lussier, president of Manchester Community Rowing, which is organizing the regatta.
But Lussier and his crew hope to achieve a longer-term goal for the lake.
"There'll be a boathouse there and we'll be running high school crew programs," he said.
The course will stretch about three miles across the lake, which provides drinking water to residents in Manchester and parts of surrounding towns.
Competing will be teams of four and eight rowers, besides the coxswain, who steers the boat and sets the pace.
The finish line will be near the picnic tables and parking lot just south of the Massabesic traffic circle.
The regatta falls on the same day as the 39th annual Manchester Invitational, a cross-country meet at Derryfield Park that draws hundreds of runners from all around the Northeast.
Mayor Ted Gatsas, whose attendance at a regatta in Pembroke a few years ago helped stir his interest, convinced the Manchester Water Works to spend $35,000 in surplus funds to build a dock near St. Peter Church in Auburn to aid the regatta.
Emma Ashooh, a senior at Bedford High School, said she looks forward to competing in a new surrounding.
"I think it's exciting to go and have new scenery on the lake where no one's ever rowed," Ashooh said.
"I love it so much and I know my teammates would love it if the NHIAA (New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association) would count it as a varsity sport."
Crew is not a varsity sport in the state, but some student rowers benefit by getting school credit for gym.
Gatsas, who chairs the city's school board, said "baby steps" are needed before anyone considers adding crew as a varsity sport.
Lussier noted that adopting crew as a varsity sport would limit a student's participation to one season, either spring or fall, whereas rowers in a club sport can participate year-round.
But crew comes at a cost, with a rowing shell generally running between $35,000 and $40,000, he said.
"I personally like the club sport as it is, but there are some who would like to see the city fund it as a sport," he said.
Pat Corbin, executive director of the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association, said NHIAA guidelines require at least 10 percent of its 90 member schools to demonstrate an ability to support a team and have a commitment from their local communities.
"There hasn't been a groundswell of people with crew coming out in force or contacting us saying this would be a real good thing to have," Corbin said.He cited two "stumbling blocks" for making it varsity: expensive equipment and proximity to water.
"If there's enough interest, people can come forth, then we'd set up a committee to study it," he said. "We're always looking to expand the breadth of offerings that we can have for our student-athletes."
In the last several years, NHIAA has added bowling and bass fishing as school sports.
Bowling took a couple of years to add, but bass fishing needed only a little over a year, he said.
For now, regatta organizers are hoping for a successful event to help build momentum to get other schools to establish teams.
"We wanted to have one well-planned, well-thought-out regatta under our belt," Lussier said. "It will be a larger event next year."

LOS ANGELES >> The California Department of Motor Vehicles is investigating reports of a wide-ranging credit card breach involving its online payment system, the agency confirmed Saturday.
The scope of the possible breach is unknown, but credit card giant MasterCard also confirmed Saturday that it has sent alerts to several banks notifying them that some of its customers may be affected and that it is investigating the possible leak.
"The Department of Motor Vehicles has been alerted by law enforcement authorities to a potential security issue within its credit card processing services," according to a DMV statement issued in response to reports of MasterCard's investigation. "There is no evidence at this time of a direct breach of the DMV's computer system. However, out of an abundance of caution and in the interest of protecting the sensitive information of California drivers, the DMV has opened an investigation into any potential security breach in conjunction with state and federal law enforcement."
"In its investigation, the department is performing a forensic review of its systems and seeking information regarding any potential breach from both the external vendor that processes the DMV's credit card transactions and the credit card companies themselves."
The possible breach appears to be limited to online transactions, made without a physical card swipe, between Aug. 2, 2013, and Jan. 31 of this year.
MasterCard spokesman Seth Eisen said in an email that the breach did not originate with MasterCard's systems, and that the company is encouraging all customers to review their recent transactions and to contact their card issuer for any assistance.
The breach was first reported by blogger Brian Krebs, who broke the story about Target's massive credit card breach last year, citing sources at five banks who confirmed lists had been received from MasterCard of customers possibly affected. Krebs reported that the information stolen appears to include the card number, expiration date and three-digit security code on the back of each card. It is unknown if other sensitive data, including driver's license numbers, could also be compromised.
According to Krebs, one bank confirmed to him that about 1,000 of its customers were on the list it received from MasterCard.
In 2012, the DMV reported 11.9 million online transactions.

"SC Launch support was instrumental in my decision to form VidiStar in South Carolina."
Craig Walker, VidiStar Founder and CEO
Craig Walker was surprised and frustrated to discover that the fastest way to get a second opinion was to mail an ultrasound of his unborn child to a distant physician. Surely the Internet had the capability to speed the process.
That moment of frustration compelled Craig to solve the problem. The technology solution Craig created is a powerful web-based platform that enables physicians to read and interpret diagnostic studies from anywhere in the world. The ultimate results are faster, better patient diagnoses.
Craig formed VidiStar to commercialize the unique patented technology and began to consider where to base his new company. An early investment from SC Launch was the deciding factor that drew Craig and his team to South Carolina.
VidiStar has achieved great success since then, expanding the range of uses of the technology, its customer base and revenues. They moved into a newly renovated 4,000 sq. ft. facility in Greenville.

AC Milan and Ukraine legend Andriy Shevchenko could be tempted out of retirement by an Indonesian Super League team, according to the club's coach.
The 36-year-old called time on an illustrious playing career in June after Ukraine's exit from Euro 2012 last summer.
However, Mitra Kukar are reportedly keen on the former Ballon d'Or winner and boss Roni Fauzan has confirmed the club's interest.
"Obviously we are interested in Shevchenko," he told reporters.
"We are in negotiations, but we have to continue to talk about economics. We would like to sign him for 10 games.
"Regarding a salary – I'm sure we can find the money to bring him here."
Fauzan exclusively confirmed to Goal.com on Tuesday that any deal for the Ukraine legend was still a long way from completion, stating that they intend to visit the former Milan star in his home country.
"There is still a long way to go," he said. "We have to wait for the second half of ISL. We also haven't visited Sheva in Ukraine. I will inform you when we have some results."
Since retiring, the former Chelsea forward has pursued a career in politics and more recently had declined the opportunity to take charge of the Ukraine national team.
Mitra Kukar currently sit top of the Indonesian Super League.

A former Obama admninistration official gets right down to it on drone warfare overseas. It's not just that it's extralegal, unconstitutional, et cetera. It's that dropping so many weapons on the local people -- even so-called precision ones -- is dumb and counter-productive:
CHICAGO — A former top adviser to President Obama on Thursday expressed concern about "blowback" from the United States' aggressive campaign of drone strikes, warning that the attacks could be undermining long-term efforts to battle extremism.
The former adviser, Gen. James E. Cartwright, is the latest and perhaps the most influential former member of Mr. Obama's national security team to publicly express concerns that the costs of the strikes might be beginning to outweigh the benefits. But General Cartwright, a former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and a favored adviser during the president's first term, also expressed skepticism about a draft administration proposal to gradually shift drone operations from the Central Intelligence Agency to the Pentagon.
General Cartwright did not quarrel with government claims that the strikes had been precise in targeting militant suspects. However, he said that mistakes, however rare, could do serious damage to America's reputation.
"We're seeing that blowback," he said. "If you're trying to kill your way to a solution, no matter how precise you are, you're going to upset people even if they're not targeted." He spoke at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.
It's been said again and again and again -- there's no logic in creating more enemies than you're killing, especially since for the most part these days we're killing lower-level operatives who couldn't find Lower Manhattan with a GPS. Or we could bury our heads in the sand and take what I'd call the Monty Python approach to drones, as depicted in the video below. Have a great weekend, and make it "a happy occasion."

I was so excited about saving up for my ATAK Cat back. I unfortunately received a system that looked like a return from someone else. No plastic protection on the tips resulted in 2 of the 4 tips being scratched up. The whole system just looked used. Laura @ AutoAnything was wonderful and helped me with a partial refund. I'm happy but will always look at my BORLA exhaust with a little displeasure about receiving what appeared to be a scratched up return someone else didn't want. :(

35 Years Ago: George Harrison Releases Self-Titled Album
Feb. 20, 1979 was a celebratory day for loyal Beatles fans, nearly a decade beyond the group's dissolution, because it signaled the release of George Harrison's first album in more than two years.
What's more, the self-titled LP coincided with a particularly idyllic period, marked with personal stability and happiness resulting from his second marriage (to Olivia Trinidad Arias Harrison) and the birth of his son, Dhani, the past August. Indeed, so good was life for the former Fab, some may have wondered whether he would ever bother returning to public life, never mind writing and recording new music. He was the quiet one after all.
But not even the press-averse, multi-hobbyist Harrison (then busy forming HandMade Films with the Monty Python team, among other projects) could refuse the call of his muse forever, and so he had eventually set to work at his home studio at Friar Park in early-'78, leisurely assembling what would become 'George Harrison' — the album — with the help of celebrity friends like Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton, plus co-producer Russ Titelman and songwriter Gary Wright (of 'Dream Weaver' fame). What emerged was a crystallized sonic reflection of Harrison's blissful (if hard-won) frame of mind, via gentle fare like 'Love Comes to Everyone,' 'Your Love is Forever,' and beloved lead single, ' Blow Away.'
Another interesting quality of 'George Harrison' was how its songs bridged past and present with effortless coherence. From the past came 'Not Guilty' (a Beatles-era leftover composed during the band's infamous Indian sojourn) and 'Here Comes the Moon' (a lyrical sequel to his own 'Here Comes the Sun'); from the present, 'Soft-Hearted Hana' (which boasted background sounds captured at Harrison's local pub) and 'Faster' (likewise inspired and soundtracked by his obsession with Formula 1 racing). In all, most of these songs may not have generated enough rock and roll swagger and excitement for some critics, but they suited Harrison's fans just fine, by and large.
So sad, then, that of course it couldn't last, because new trials, both trivial and significant, lay just around the corner — none more painful or traumatic than John Lennon's assassination, barely two years in the future. In that respect, 'George Harrison' could well be seen as the last exhaled breath of innocence before that tragedy draped a black shroud over Harrison and the Beatles' technicolor dream, forever more.

Congenital Heart Defects: Prostaglandins and Prostaglandin Inhibitors
Current as of: October 5, 2017
Find More Information on the Government of BC Website
Normally, a blood vessel needed only for fetal blood circulation (called the ductus arteriosus) closes off at birth. As the fetus develops, this blood vessel is kept open by a substance in the fetus's body called prostaglandin. At birth, prostaglandin decreases and the blood vessel closes.
In some premature infants, this blood vessel does not close. This is a condition called a patent (open) ductus arteriosus. These infants are given a prostaglandin inhibitor. It's a medicine to help the blood vessel close.
When an infant has certain other congenital heart defects, a medicine that is a form of prostaglandin is often given by vein to keep the ductus arteriosus open. Keeping this blood vessel open allows the blood to keep moving until the defect can be fixed to allow normal blood flow. This may require surgery or another procedure.

There had been three sectors that significantly outperformed the S&P since the June lows: Technology, financials, and energy.
One has already bitten the dust. Technology (NYSEARCA:XLK) broke down and is now leading the market lower, down 10% from its September highs on the back of fading Apple mania compared to financials down only 2% and energy 7%. We continue to watch the financial and energy sectors closely for their potential relative strength breakdowns which would add weight that a longer term market top is occurring.
Continue Reading Below
More than Meets the Eye: Financial Stocks
On 7/21 in our August newsletter we alerted our subscribers how the energy and financial sectors led the market higher and lower over the past two months and how they would also lead to the downside. "Their underperformance and breakdown in early May helped identify the market's change in trend from up to down and we are expecting a similar event at the market's next juncture. Until these sectors break down, the market's top likely is not in place". Financial and Energy stocks were up 12% and 9% into the market's peak in September.
Similar to Apple-Mania, an article from 11/6 "More than Meets the Eye: Financials" focused on the impact that just 3 companies have on the financial sector that contains over 80 companies. Due to their market caps, those three companies make up over 25% of the XLF (NYSEARCA:XLF) index and following them (as opposed to all 82) will likely give you all the insight needed as to the financial sector's direction.
More than Meets the Eye: Energy Stocks
As of the September quarter end, the Energy Select Sector SPDR (NYSEARCA:XLE) makes up over 11% of the S&P 500 by market weight, fluctuating between the 4th and 5th largest. A summary of those sector weightings is best captured in the chart from Standard & Poor's (NYSEARCA:SPY) below.
Energy Sector Weightings
The S&P 500's energy sector as of 11/12/12 is made up of 45 energy companies and weighted based on market capitalization (stock price x shares outstanding). But, if just the top 10 energy companies out of the entire 45 are isolated, a full 62% of the XLE's market cap is generated.
Furthermore, five stocks constitute 49% and just two stocks make up over 35% of the XLE's value. It is actually more concentrated than the often talked about Tech sector!
The spreadsheet captures the breakdown of the energy sector by market cap weighting including the top 10, 5, and two companies in the index.
The Key to the Energy Sector
The chart below shows the top five index constituents along with XLE and shows very similar performance in the largest energy companies.
Since the June lows, four of the top five companies in the sector, making up 45% of its weighting, are clustered around similar performance. ExxonMobil (NYSEARCA:XOM), a full 20% of the index, is up 14% compared to the XLE at 13%, and the lone outperformer of the 5. Chevron Corp (NYSE:CVX) in red, Shlumberger Ltd (NYSE:SLB) in orange, and Conocophillips (NYSE:COP) in blue have all slightly underperformed the index since the June lows.
Occidental Pete Corp (NYSE:OXY) is the lone laggard down over 1% since the June lows and underperforming the index by 14%. But, at only 4% of the sector weight, its underperformance is dwarfed almost to irrelevance by the larger constituents.
It's all About Exxon and Chevron
At 35% of the index, Exxon and Chevron are far more important than Schlumberger, Occidental, or Conocophillips combined. In fact, either one of those two large companies is more important than those next three combined. Any significant underperformance of Exxon or Chevron would no doubt lead the XLE down in price.
By focusing on just two companies we can get a better understanding of the entire energy sector!
Since the October S&P highs, the energy and financial sectors are holding up their relative strength outperformance. The energy sector has recently stopped leading the market higher, now performing equally to the S&P 500. Once it and the financials start to become laggards, we will be more inclined to call the recent market selloff worse than just another dip buying opportunity.

At Weare school, changes aren't merely cosmetic
WEARE — The exterior of Center Woods Elementary School is looking shipshape for the start of the new year, and inside there are some changes afoot as well.
Throughout the summer, extensive work has been done on the exterior of the school. There's a new roof and an improved drainage system behind the school, and the landscaping has changed in front of the building along with the removal of trees.
"The physical improvements to our facility are wonderful," said Principal Jess Potter. "Removing the trees improves student visibility and that increases their safety, but it was done in such a way as to not compromise the beautiful setting of our school."
But Potter said that the behind the scenes work that's occurred at the school is what she's excited about. Center Woods will be the first school in SAU 24 to roll out standards-based report cards, she said.
The new report card will look different because it will show student learning as the student progresses through mastery in specific standards in common core subjects: English, math, science, and social studies.
The Common Core Standards have been adopted by 46 states and the District of Columbia and are a set of academic standards in math and English language arts that will ensure all students have the knowledge and skills they need in core subjects.
"Instead of letter grades, students will receive marks that show how well they have mastered the skills," said Potter. "The Common Core Standards specify what students should know and be able to do at each grade level, it has been our job to determine how to get students to that level and how to access their progress."
In English language arts and math there will be a list of skills and knowledge that students are responsible for learning that will help parents and teachers track students' progress.
"A parent will be able to see clearly what needs to be learned in a particular standard and how their student is progressing throughout the year in that learning process," said Potter.
Several new staff members have been added to the roster of Center Woods Elementary this year, including third-grade teacher Amy Campbell, Title I teacher Kara Loth, enrichment coordinator Deb Lynch, technology coordinator Michael Muzzy and paraprofessional Kira Winward.
Opening day at Center Woods is Aug. 28.

Bloodborne Pathogens
Prevention of Exposure to Human Blood And Other Potentially Infectious Human Materials
The bloodborne pathogens regulations are applicable to employees in several areas of the University, specifically those who have an occupational exposure to human blood or other potentially infectious materials, including:
- Human blood
- Human blood components
- Products made from human blood
- Semen
- Vaginal secretions
- Cerebrospinal fluid
- Synovial fluid
- Pleural fluid
- Pericardial fluid
- Peritoneal fluid
- Saliva in dental procedures
- Any body fluid visibly contaminated with blood
- Any unfixed tissue or organ (other than intact skin) from a human living or dead
- HIV- or HBV-containing cell or tissue cultures, organ cultures, and culture medium or other solutions
- Blood, organs, or other tissues from experimental animals infected with HIV or HBV
The University administration has assigned the task of implementing the bloodborne pathogens regulations to department heads and center directors. Supervisors are responsible to the department head for implementing this standard. The Environmental Health and Safety office coordinates the bloodborne pathogens program. The University's program requires that students receive the same protection and training as employees while they are pursuing academically-related endeavors. However, students may be required to provide Hepatitis B virus vaccination at their own expense and show documentation of vaccination prior to commencing selected academic activities.
Exposure Control Plan
The bloodborne pathogens regulations require that a written exposure control plan be prepared if employees have reasonably anticipated duties that may result in occupational exposure. Each department head or center director is to prepare an exposure control plan if one or more employees or students under his or her authority has the potential for an occupational exposure. A form is available from the Environmental Health and Safety office.
The exposure control plan shall be maintained in the department's Safety Information Book for accessibility to employees and students, and copied to the Environmental Health and Safety office. The plan consists of three parts:
- Exposure Determination - identification and documentation of all job classifications with occupational exposure, without regard to the use of personal protective equipment;
- The schedule and method of implementation of each applicable part of the bloodborne pathogens regulations.
- The procedure for evaluation of circumstances surrounding an exposure incident.
Universal Precautions
Universal precautions are observed to prevent contact with blood and other potentially infectious materials.
Universal precautions is a method of infection control in which all human blood and other related human or human-derived materials are treated as if known to be infectious for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and other bloodborne pathogens.

State Trooper David Cunniff's friendly personality left many a motorist thanking him after receiving a ticket, State Police Superintendent Joseph D'Amico said at Cunniff's funeral on Friday.
His three sisters recalled him as a constant tease who, at one of the final family gatherings with him last Saturday, taught his youngest sister how to twerk.
His wife, Amy, said he was the love of her life who first asked her out by giving her a note at the bank where she worked as a teller. A devoted father of two sons, he vowed to find a cure for the spinal muscular atrophy that afflicts his older boy.
Fun-loving and churchgoing, a dedicated trooper and a skilled guitarist who loved playing music at his church, Cunniff was given an emotional sendoff on Friday filled with laughter, tears and poignant stories at Grace Fellowship in Latham. An eight-piece band played some of his favorite religious songs, and a video showed him playing electric guitar in the church.
Cunniff, 35, died after his patrol car was struck Monday by a tractor-trailer as he was writing a driver a speeding ticket. Charges against the truck driver are pending.
The funeral drew Gov. Andrew Cuomo and more than 1,000 troopers from across New York and around the country, and even members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
D'Amico said Cunniff knew the people on his Thruway beat, stopping to chat and check with everyone from toll takers to gas station attendants.
"David was the kind of trooper everyone wants on their shift," he said. "David left us too soon, but he clearly left behind a legacy of love and respect."
Turning to the fallen trooper's sons, Caleb, 6, and Zachary, 4, D'Amico said, "Your dad was a hero to all of us, and to him both of you were his heroes."
Fellow trooper Scott Clause praised his close friend.
"I could always relate to Dave because he was just a regular guy who loved his place in life," Clause said. "He is a good example for all of us to follow and what a trooper, a friend and a father should be."
Cunniff's sisters wrote letters that were read by their husbands.
"You always made me laugh, even when I didn't want to," wrote Sarah Reinemann.
Lynn Nuzback wrote, "I know we will carry on, but right now it's hard to imagine we can."
His youngest sister, Christine McDonald, wrote that after the accident she reluctantly went for an ultrasound but was glad she did. She got to whisper in her brother's ear before he died that she would give birth to his niece to be named Eden.
Pastor Tim Owens read a letter from Cunniff's widow.
"Dave was the absolute love of my life," she wrote. They were 16 when he first asked her out. They married at age 20.
Together, they dealt with the miscarriage of a baby girl and health problems with their two sons. When they learned that Caleb had a spinal disease, she said, "he was going to think outside the box to give Caleb the world."
Together, they started a local chapter of Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
Contributions may be made to the nonprofit organization at 925 Busse Road, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007, or at http://www.curesma.org in memory of David W. Cunniff. His wife also asked for people to send stories about her husband for their two sons to email@example.com.
Cunniff was adamant in a conversation last year that both he and his wife be organ donors, saying that they should spare another family the trauma they endured if they ever had the chance. The family fulfilled his wish.
"He gave me more love and affection than I deserve," Amy Cunniff wrote. "We were so much in love from our first date to our last date. ... I could talk for hours about what a wonderful husband he was. He gave me love to last a lifetime. There was nothing left unsaid between us. My life is all the better for being Dave's wife."

Map from Geneseo automotive business found at auction in Atkinson
My recent experiences with attic archaeology have taught me never to just pitch a stack of old papers. Piles are created in layers over time and often you find a gem laid between two crumbling newspapers.
That's where Don Doubler, of Annawan's niece, Diane, found a rare piece of World War II memorabilia.
As Don tells it, she was at an auction in Atkinson and bought a few things. At the end of the sale, the auctioneer handed her a stack of old papers that didn't sell. Being a watchful collector, she decided to go through the pile before throwing it away to see if there was anything there worth saving.
Her eye caught what looked like a brightly colored, folded road map. Carefully opening the document she found it was a map of the world, but not just any world map — it was called a Dated Events War Map.
About 1-1/2 by 3 feet in size, it was apparently published just after the war, in 1945 or '46, and is covered with factual information — dates, photos, lists, and captions which dot the map on land and sea where important events took place during the four-years the U.S. was involved, and before.
Where it came from also caught Diane's eye — "Compliments of Offerle & Schroeder — Petroleum Products, Paints, Tires, and Accessories. Car Service and Tank Delivery. Phone 195, Geneseo, Ill." Diane knew Don's wife, Judy, was a Schroeder from Geneseo and gave it to them. The business had been run by her family years ago.
Obviously, the item was a "complimentary" gift to customers. There is probably no way of telling how many were printed or how many, if any, are still around, possibly in the Geneseo area where they handed out.
Adjacent to the title is printed "This map spotlights and dates the most important events which occurred during World War II following the Munich Agreement on Sept. 30, 1938. Highly informative now — its value and interest will increase with the years." They certainly got that right.
It was called a world war for a reason.The map includes Roll Call of United Nations which lists 38 nations and the dates they declared war on Germany and/or Japan. It truly involved just about the whole world.
Also displayed are photos of Eisenhower and MacArthur, "Supreme Commanders of the Allied March to Victory," as well as the flag raising at Iwo Jima, the sinking of the Arizona at Pearl Harbor which brought the U.S. into the war, and the dropping of one of the two atomic bombs on Japan which finally ended the war.
Along each side are the dated events — European Area on the left, from September 1938 to July 25, 1945, and the Pacific Area on the right from January 1932 to September 2, 1945.
White banners with big letters proclaim VE (Victory in Europe) Day, May 8, 1945, and VJ (Victory over Japan) Day, Sept. 2, 1945.
There is also an enlarged inset of Japan and a box listing the ships and planes lost by both the Americans and Japanese.
Before having the original framed, Don looked for a way to make copies of the map. With the help of Jerry Thompson of the Kewanee American Legion Post, he found himself at Kewanee High School last spring.
Using the school's equipment, senior whiz kid Mark Breedlove was able to create a photo document of the map from which to make not only copies in color, but also enlargements. Breedlove is now a freshman film major at Florida State University.
Doubler has given copies to the Kewanee Legion post where they will be displayed.
The Geneseo VFW has also expressed interest in having a wall-sized mural of the map made for display.
Don's cousin, Mike Doubler, a lieutenant colonel in the National Guard who graduated from and taught at West Point, has seen the map and says it is the most complete document of its kind he has ever seen.
You could easily spend an hour or more studying the information on this map.
Monday is Veterans Day when we will honor those who have given military service to their country. It's getting harder and harder every year to find World War II veterans. More than 1,000 are dying every day and there aren't that many left, all in their late 80s and 90s.
Someday there will be no one around to tell us what it was like to be there. That's why this almost-discarded world map handed out to a customer at an automotive store in Geneseo in 1945, which found its way back to the same family 68 years later, is so important.
Thank you, veterans, for your service — from the USS Arizona to Afghanistan and everywhere in between. We salute you!

I remember a few months ago when we were still exploring our new town, we passed a store and I remarked "What do you think they sell there?" The name of the store was Smart & Final. Was it a closeout store - your final chance to buy an item? Was it an auction place - all sales were final?
Of course, then that lead to a bigger discussion of how, when you move to a new place, you really have no idea what stores are just by their names. Many times they're named after original owners and not very intuitive. You really have to go in and check it out to figure it out - or ask a local who knows. After that tangent, I pretty much forgot about Smart & Final.... until I got an email asking me if I'd be interested in checking out an area grocery store chain called Smart & Final. Ah ha! A grocery store! How could I have missed that? Well, not to worry, I was about to get my chance to check it out as I shopped the store to create a beef recipe.
Turns out, Smart & Final is kind a warehouse club/restaurant depot hybrid. It offers larger packages of food for a better price - as well as restaurant/catering goods like chafing dishes, sterno and paper goods. Their Extra stores, like the one I visited, combine the warehouse/restaurant items along with typical household sized offerings of produce, meat, dairy and frozen foods. It's really quite a varied collection of things. What I was most pleased with was that I was able to find everything I needed for the recipe I decided to make all under one roof. That rarely happens. I usually find myself heading to at least 1 other store for some elusive item - the right herb or spice or something. But not this time. And everything was well-priced to boot.
You can check out a photo diary of my experience here.
And, of course, here's the recipe I was inspired to create:
Grilled Chili-Lime Steaks with Chimichurri and Roasted Fall Veggies
2 Cattleman's Finest Beef Loin New York Steaks*
2 Tbsp. lime juice
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
3/4 cup olive oil, divided
2 large garlic cloves
1/2 c. fresh parsley
1/3 c. fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
2 large Russet potatoes*, peeled
1 sweet potato, peeled
2 cups Brussels sprouts
1 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
salt & pepper
Mix lime juice, cayenne pepper, ¼ tsp. salt and 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a freezer bag. Add steaks and mix to coat. Refrigerate for 4-8 hours.
When ready to cook, preheat grill to 400°F. Preheat oven to 425°F.
Cut russet and sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Cut Brussels sprouts in half. Add to a bowl and toss with 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake 25 minutes, turning half-way through.
To make chimichurri sauce, combine remaining ½ c. olive oil, garlic, parsley, cilantro, lemon juice and red wine vinegar in a blender. Puree until smooth. Add salt to taste.
Place steaks on preheated grill. Grill for 5 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes.
To serve, top steaks with chimichurri sauce and veggies with grated Parmesan cheese.
*Live out West like me? Then visit your local Smart & Final store next week to get these items on sale for a great deal!

Sen. Ayotte pushes for bigger broadband bang for buckBy Staff Report
December 03. 2013 7:42PM
MANCHESTER — Republican U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte has introduced legislation to reform a national program for broadband expansion that currently returns only 37 cents for every dollar that New Hampshire contributes.
Despite being a net "donor" of more than $23 million to the Universal Service Fund each year, Ayotte said, the state continues to have significant pockets that lack access to crucial communications services, especially broadband technology.
Ayotte first announced her plan to introduce the "USF Equitable Distribution Act of 2013" during a visit to FairPoint Communication's central office in Manchester on Aug. 28.
She plans to release details of the bill in a press conference today at her Manchester district office, where she'll be joined by representatives from telecom companies, state officials and a board member from the New Hampshire High Tech Council.
The legislation would change the formula used to distribute money from the Federal Communication Commission's Connect America Fund, which is financed through a 15.5-percent surcharge that appears as "universal service access charge" on telephone bills.
Ayotte's legislation would ensure that a rural state is guaranteed at least 75 cents for every dollar it contributes, without increasing the size of the fund.
The fund, established in 1996, was at first aimed at telephone service, but has since been used to accelerate broadband build-out to the 18 million Americans living in rural areas who lack access to high-speed Internet service.
New Hampshire ranks 46 out of 50 states in the ratio of money collected for the fund versus money returned to the state for broadband expansion. The most recent data from 2011 released by Ayotte's office showed that New Hampshire contributed $37.9 million and received only $14.2 million in return.

BOSTON (AP) — A man arrested outside Secretary of State John Kerry's Boston home with what police say was a pellet gun in his car is being held on unrelated charges.
State Department security officers spotted the man parked in a no-parking zone Sunday afternoon and called police.
Police say the man, 29-year-old Vladimir Romanov of Boston, told security officers he was taking pictures to show a friend. When asked to move his vehicle, he said he'd been drinking.
Kerry spokesman Glen Johnson says the man was taking pictures of a window in Kerry's house. Kerry, a former U.S. senator from Massachusetts, was not home.
Romanov was arraigned Monday. A municipal court judge revoked Romanov's bail on an unrelated assault charge and ordered him held for allegedly violating probation on an earlier drunken driving case.

Two-alarm fire hits Portsmouth art gallery
By TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
PORTSMOUTH - A two-alarm fire on Friday damaged the McLaughlin-Hills art gallery building on State Street.
Fire Capt. Todd Germain said the fire started about 2 p.m. Friday on a third-floor apartment at the 110 State St. building and was possibly caused by a gas-fired furnace.
Germain said the gallery was able to move most of the art to the neighboring Random Acts of Sweetness store.
"I believe a lot of it was spared," he said.
The building's attic suffered significant damage. The second- and third-floor apartments suffered smoke and water damage, while the art gallery, which is on the first floor, suffered water damage, he said.
The fire displaced "at least" three residents of the two apartments, he said, and the gallery will need renovation before being able to reopen.
The fire was under control by 2:30 p.m. Friday and nobody was injured in the blaze, Germain said. He said a second alarm was sounded because the building is in a tightly packed retail area.
"The guys did an aggressive, interior attack. That, and the fire wall, kept it confined," he said.

Deepcool GAMMAXX 400 Review
The original Gammaxx 400 cpu cooler I reviewed was defective. Deepcool has been kind enough to send us a replacement sample. For updated test results and conclusion please read on.
Deepcool has manufactured cooling accessories for laptops, graphics cards and case fans, among others, for the past 15 years. Until now it has concentrated on the Asian market, but is just recently turning its sights on the U.S. Deepcool is ISO compliant, which means it adheres to strict international guidelines in manufacturing, management, and continued improvement. In this review I will be examining the latest Deepcool CPU cooler, the GAMMAXX 400, in its retail packaged form. I will be comparing it to similar coolers for performance and cooling efficiency.
Closer Look:
The GAMMAXX 400 is packaged in a white box with blue accents, with the front containing an angled view of the cooler itself, which seems to be the standard for most of Deepcool's products. Just under the picture on the front is information regarding some of the GAMMAXX 400's features: compatibility with both AMD & Intel processors, four heat pipes, PWM control, blue LEDs, "de-vibration," overclocking support, super silent, and long life bearing. The back of the box contains a photo of the fan and cooler assembly along with the contact surface for the CPU.
The left side of the box has a listing of the Gammaxx 400's specifications including the cooler's dimensions, CPU compatibility, and measurement diagram. The right side of the box contains the cooler's specifications in multiple languages.
Now it's time to unbox the GAMMAXX 400 for a closer inspection. With the box open we can see the accessories box on top and once removed we can see the fan and cooler tucked inside the package.
In the first photo you can see that the GAMMAXX 400 comes with all of the necessary mounting hardware and thermal paste for both Intel and AMD applications. Supported sockets include: Intel LGA2011/1366/1156/1155/775 and AMD FM1/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2/940/939/754. The second photo shows the retention clips for mounting the 120mm fan firmly in place. I used the offset holes for a tighter grip on the fan to help prevent vibrations while the fan runs at full speed. A second set is included for a push/pull configuration, which will be required for overclocking the Intel Core i7 39XX series chips.

It was only a matter of time, and now Michael Jordan is in the Hall of Fame.
Jordan was elected to the class of 2009 Monday with David Robinson, John Stockton, Utah Jazz coach and former Bulls player Jerry Sloan, and Rutgers women's coach C. Vivian Stringer.
The announcement was made in Detroit, site of the men's Final Four. Induction is Sept. 10-12 in Springfield, Mass., home of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Jordan's Hall of Fame selection was a slam dunk after he retired as perhaps the greatest player in history.
His soaring dunks, Nike commercials and "Air Jordan" nickname helped stamp him as one the most recognizable athletes around the world. He finished a 15-year career with the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards with 32,292 points -- the third-highest total in league history, behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone. His final career average of 30.12 goes down as the best, just ahead of Wilt Chamberlain's 30.07.
The five-time NBA MVP won six championships with the Bulls and another in college with North Carolina. The Tar Heels play Michigan State in the national championship game Monday night.
Tar Heels coach Roy Williams was an assistant with Carolina on that 1982 national championship team and was at Monday's induction.
Jordan retired twice during his career. He first came back to the Bulls in 1994 and won three more championships before retiring again in 1998. He then had an ill-fated two-year stint with the Washington Wizards before calling it quits for good in 2003.
Jordan won two of his titles in the 1990s against Sloan, Stockton and the Utah Jazz. Stockton spent his entire career with the Jazz and finished with 19,711 points, 15,806 assists and 3,265 steals. He also holds NBA records for most assists in a season (1,164 in 1990-91) and highest assist average in a season (14.5 in 1989-90).
Utah took Stockton in the first round of the 1984 draft, using the No. 16 pick on a relatively unknown player from Gonzaga who became one of the top point guards.
Robinson, who earned the nickname "The Admiral" from his college career at Navy, joined Stockton and Jordan as members of the NBA's 50th anniversary team.
He had a stellar 14-year career with the San Antonio Spurs that included two NBA championships, an MVP season, a rookie of the year award, 10 All-Star selections, a scoring title and two Olympic gold medals.
Sloan, from McLeansboro in southern Illinois, is the longest tenured head coach in major league sports with a single franchise. A two-time All-Star during his playing days with the Bulls, Sloan is the only NBA coach to win more than 1,000 games with a single team. He has the Jazz in seventh place in the Western Conference standings going into Monday night's games.
Stringer has led three separate teams to the Final Four in her 38-year career and has an 825-280 mark spanning four decades. She trails only Pat Summitt and Jody Conradt on the victories list. Stringer guided Rutgers to its fifth straight regional semifinals trip this season.

Welcome to January 2013. We're declaring it the Month of the Cozy Fireplace, given the winter chill in the air here in Wisconsin. Perhaps you'd like to book an overnight at an inn that stokes the fireplace every evening, thus complementing the warm hospitality dished out by the innkeepers. There's Inn at Wawanissee Point in Baraboo, where the massive stone fireplace in the living room is a popular spot for evening wine and cheese gatherings. At Silver Star Inn B&B in Spring Green, the fireplace in the dining room is a nice accompaniment to the steaming hot coffee and homemade pastries served every morning. And at Cleghorn B&B in Waupaca, the fireplaces in the guest rooms are a special luxury we all wish we had at home.

Fallout from inmate left alone in East Kingston: Chief, corporal placed on paid leaveBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
August 07. 2013 12:52PM
EAST KINGSTON — Police Chief Reid Simpson and Cpl. Mark Iannuccillo have been placed on paid administrative leave pending a multi-agency investigation after authorities say an inmate trusty allegedly broke into a police station evidence room when he was left alone at the police department for several hours.
Associate Attorney General Jane Young confirmed that a criminal investigation is now under way to determine whether any members of the police department could be held criminally liable for the incident that occurred May 11.
"We are looking at a comprehensive review of the department to see if anyone committed any type of criminal conduct," Young said Wednesday.
Members of the state Attorney General's Office have been at the police department this week investigating the incident.
"We had investigators (at the) scene yesterday and today to get an understanding of what transpired," Young said.
While Simpson and Iannuccillo were placed on leave, Young said that doesn't mean they are necessarily the "targets" of the investigation.
"We are looking for conduct on behalf of any law enforcement (officer)," she said.
The Rockingham County Attorney's Office and the Rockingham County Sheriff's Department also continue to investigate.
Selectmen have also hired Municipal Resources Inc. to manage and coordinate policing services, according to a press release from the town.
"Residents should feel assured that there will be no lapses in police coverage or services," the release said.
Authorities said the investigation began in May after Rockingham County jail inmate Jarred Brisbois allegedly broke into the evidence room and stole heroin, broke into an officer's locker, and drove a police cruiser while he was unsupervised on May 11.
Brisbois was a "trusty" from the jail who was at the police station to wash police cruisers and perform other maintenance work. Brisbois was one of several inmates who participate in the jail's trusty program that allows trusted low-risk inmates to spend part of their day working at the county complex and several local police departments while under supervision.
Brisbois has not been charged in the break-in.
Investigators say the incident occurred when Brisbois was left alone at the police station while an officer was on patrol.
Deputy Rockingham County Tom Reid has said Brisbois broke into the evidence room where he ingested heroin and smoked marijuana before he was transported back to the jail under the influence.
Brisbois also allegedly smuggled heroin and a hypodermic syringe into the jail and shared the drug with other inmates, according to Reid.
Brisbois is suspected of breaking into an officer's locker as well. The locker contained an officer's duty belt with a gun, Taser, and handcuffs. Nothing is believed to have been stolen from the locker.
Authorities also believe Brisbois drove a police cruiser, but they're not sure where he went and for how long.
