2015 Micra S (manual)
no A/C /no power options
Feb 2015 build
9,999 purchase price + tax..no additional 1600$ because it was a 2015 purchased in 2016
so receipt says $8,399....+1600 .... so they look good i guess...for a brand new car!
Picked up some Hankook Ipike snow tires on clearance from Can Tire, as well as a rebate where you got a $50 gift card for purchases over $200. New steel wheels and tires all in for $378 after the dust settled. Had to get 175/70 r14's, so just a little smaller. Great tires.
Cheaper than an insurance claim.
The way I look at it, you're not losing money by buying snow tires, your making each set of tires last twice as long. When i think of it this way, it's a no brainer. Yeah, the stock tires SUCK in the snow.
That's a great price for new snows all in.
View my fuel log 2015 Micra S manual: 5.0 L/100 km ... 56.5 mpg (Imp) ... 20.0 km/L ... 47.0 mpg (US) ...
So far, they seem to handle great (if you have winter tires!) Mind you I've mostly been driving around the flat plains of Richmond most of the time. The only issue is stopping quickly when the road is iced over, but that's not really a fault of the car. The TCS also goes into overdrive when it's really slushy.
First car: 1984 silver Nissan Micra
Current car: 2016 Gun Metallic Nissan Micra SV
I find the car nice in snow bit only thing i hate is the traction control. Its can not be remove completely. Other then that its ok and handle great
And i bought the cheapest tire i found some momo northpole
Traction control off > on > off > hold button until off light comes on dash. I believe that is dsc off too. Cannot be turned back on until you turn ignition off then on again.

Milan: FF 2013 – Prada: Knoll - Tools for Life collection - OMA/Rem Koolhaas. American furniture manufacturer Knoll Inc. introduced "Tools for Life," a new collection of furniture inPrada's exhibtion space designed by OMA, the collaborative practice co-founded by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. Knoll tapped Koolhaas, one of the most provocative thinkers and daring form-makers of his generation, to help mark its 75th anniversary. Commenting on the endeavor, Rem Koolhaas said, "We wanted to create a range of furniture that performs in very precise but also in completely unpredictable ways, furniture that not only contributes to the interior but also to the animation."
Knoll: Tools for Life collection - OMA/Rem Koolhaas. The dynamic 04 Counter is the collection's signature piece. Beginning as a monolithic stack of three horizontal bars, the user can rotate the top two bars and transform this wall-like unit into a series of shelves and cantilevered benches—a metamorphosis from a spatial partition to a communal gathering place. Rigorous engineering and a system of internal bearings and rails facilitate 360 degrees of movement. Concrete, leather and patterned wood grain surfaces provide unexpected and subtly sensuous contrasts.
Knoll: Tools for Life collection - OMA/Rem Koolhaas. The 03 Coffee Table is a stack of three transparent boxes constructed of clear acrylic. Internal slides allow the individual elements to be rotated and cantilevered, giving users the ability to adjust its overall shape depending on changing needs.
Knoll: Tools for Life collection - OMA/Rem Koolhaas. The 05 Round Table and 06 Table integrate mechanical sophistication with seemingly effortless effect. Both can be adjusted to accommodate lounge seating or even standing. The 01 Arm Chair is a height-adjustable, swivel lounge chair with a clear acrylic exterior frame and leather interior upholstery. A mechanical column base with a signature red band provides height adjustment at the touch of a button. A concrete base plate grounds the chair.

Parental Dilemnas – Diagnosis of their loved ones
"I would do anything to help my child," is a common sentiment expressed by the vast majority of parents whenever they are at an important choice point in their child's development. It is therefore not surprising that parents actively consider all options available to support their child's learning and social behaviour in school, anyone would do the same. When you add to that the clear pressures of information from the internet, advertising and social conformity; the predominance of the 'medical model' in assessing behavioural needs and lastly a range of financial inducements from certain state benefits for children 'diagnosed' with a DSM-5 type 'disorder' (e.g. Disabled Living Allowance in the U.K.) this can cause problems for parents. These 'disorders' include Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder and Temporary Grief Syndrome etc. etc. I am sure there is a big variation in parents as to how resistant they can be to any external pressures allowing many to still make an informed and balanced decision. They naturally hope that their beloved child is safeguarded and supported in the best possible ways to deal with life's testing and difficulties.
In relation to the Safeguarding of Children an increasing number of parents, as research later in this article will demonstrate, have concerns about giving their child psychotropic drugs as the first course of action and then also about the long term risks and side effects. To illustrate the potency of this issue I now include some quotes from parents demonstrating their anguish about some negative changes that they have reported to professionals involved with their child.
"My child was a bundle of fun," "she was vibrant, full of life and always in the school productions;" "he couldn't keep still and chattered all the time which kept me amused but the school thought I should take him to the doctors;" "she was wired and driven to succeed" and "he was a handful but there was never a dull moment" are all quotes from conversations had with parents before they chose, under some pressure from school, professionals and medics to take the psychotropic drug route for their child.
Sadly too often these statements from parents are within a matter of months replaced after medication with a range of psychotropic drugs or worse still 'drug cocktails' by these comments: "she is a shadow of her former self," " her friends in school say she is like a walking ghost," "he has lost his 'joie de vie' and seems dulled to the core of his being," " he just sits totally still all the time and walks around the house like a zombie," "she is just flatlining and has no interest in succeeding anymore" and " he has a blank stare all the time and flat expressions in his eyes and on his face."
Sometimes, thankfully there is not such a huge deterioration in a child's presenting behaviours. Our experience as educational psychologists is that only in about 20-30% of the cases where we are involved do children benefit from a short term intervention involving a medication. That leaves 70-80% of cases where we feel that is not the result and where potential risks may well occur. In these cases, we feel, varying levels of harm can be done to the children in either a physical and or psychological way. These outcomes commonly include major sleep disturbance, as a regular side effect of psychostimulants, which is the most illogical outcome of all, as we all know being parents that a good night's sleep is essential for a child's equanimity of mood. If any child has a few disturbed nights then it does not take long for some behavioural difficulties to start appearing. We must, as a society, address this ludicrous pharmacalogical contradiction. Rapid weight loss and mood swings are other common outcomes. Psychologically the most serious longer term issue is the effects of stigmatisation and the increasing dependence on 'biochemical fixes' whether legal or illegal. There is a growing body of informed opinion and anecdotal evidence that if young people depend on prescribed drugs early on then they may well have recourse to using either form of drugs in the future.
Certainly Professor Susan Greenfield the distinguished neurologist at Oxford University is convinced of this likelihood and is cited regularly, making this point, in her talks. She also stated in an interview in Times Educational Supplement, January 8th 2007, that,
There is clearly a growing willingness to offer young people drugs which have profound effects on the way they think and behave,
and also,
We should give more thought to changing the shape of our classrooms to fit our children, rather than trying to medicate our children to fit the classroom!
A lot of parents and professionals would agree with her challenging perspective.
Dr Dorothy Rowe, one of the most highly respected Clinical Psychologists of her generation, in the forward of the book, "Making us all Crazy" by Herb Kutchins and Stuart Kirk stated in relation to the DSM manuals,
This crazy redefining of mental health problems in children illustrates how wide any condition could become, opening the door to increased levels of dangerous medication for normal children. Where is this going to stop before responsible professionals and parents say, enough is enough!
There are only a limited number of studies exploring parental views and concerns of their use of psychotropic drugs with their own children. One such study though by Helen Lazaratou et al entitled "Parental attitudes and opinions on the use of psychotropic medication in mental disorders of childhood" obtained results indicating that the opinions and beliefs prevalent in the generation that has now reached parenthood are not consistent with current medical practice. Their negative attitude indicates that there is a need for much better mental heath education. Fear of psychiatric stigmatization and ignorance of the nature of mental disorders are reported to be important factors in the establishment of this attitude, which threatens to rule out pharmacological interventions as a way of dealing with certain childhood mental disorders.
A main finding of this study was that, "Child psychiatrists ought to scientifically inform the parents on the efficacy and safety of a treatment, and then take into consideration the opinions and attitudes of the family. Only by paying attention to the desires, fears and beliefs of both parents and children will they be able to encourage and ensure compliance to the suggested treatment."
Also from their findings, only 40% of parents believed that there was a proper use of psychotropic medication, with 20% believing that psychiatrists unnecessarily use high doses of psychotropic medication. A total of 80% feared psychotropic agents more than other types of medication. Most parents were afraid to administer psychotropic medication to their child when compared to any other medication, and believed that psychotherapy was the most effective method of dealing with every kind of mental disorders, including childhood schizophrenia (65%). The belief that children who take psychotropic medication from early childhood are more likely to develop drug addiction later was closely correlated with the parental level of education.
Another study in the Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics entitled, "Parental Perceptions and Satisfaction with Stimulant Medication for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder," by Susan Dosreis et al states, "Few reports have documented parental perceptions of stimulants for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), despite the recent increased use of stimulants among youths. Of 302 parents recruited from six paediatric primary care clinics, 84% completed a survey of their knowledge, attitudes, and satisfaction with the medication their child was taking for ADHD. Two thirds of the parents believed that sugar and diet did affect their child's level of hyperactivity. Although few parents believed that stimulants could lead to later drug abuse, 55% initially were hesitant to use medication on the basis of information in the media, and 38% believed that too many children receive medication for ADHD. Parents were more satisfied with the behavioral and academic improvement relative to improvement in their child's self esteem. Attitudes were positively correlated with satisfaction and were more positive among white than nonwhite parents. The findings highlight parental misconceptions and reservations about ADHD medication treatment that require further study to clarify whether race/ethnicity, income, and social status influence their views and use of treatments. "
These studies clearly emphasisze the urgent need to offer coherent and logical treatment programmes starting with psychological interventions before utilising medication, so that parents understand the process and the risk : benefit ratios of the interventions involved. Better parental education about mental health and the treatments available is urgently needed to maximise the possible benefits of such costly and risky interventions. At a time of reviewing Health Service budgets across the world the cost : benefit analysis of such approaches is essential before rapidly expanding their use, as is occuring at present.
What we are all keen to avoid is the high levels of risk and the tragic outcomes either directly or indirectly related to the sudden death of a child. Nothing can be more traumatising to families and the professionals involved. We have a clear 'Duty of Care' to ensure that the risks of this happening are reduced hopefully towards zero. This was sadly not the case in one situation in the U.S. where Mathew Smith's Death Certificate, on the 21st March 2000 read, "Death caused by long term use of Methylphenidate." This is one of more than 300 cases reported to 'Deathwatch' a voluntary scheme of reporting such tragic events in the U.S. Can we allow this pattern to spread cross the pond to our society where more and more professionals are becoming aware of such critical incidents, usually caused by sudden heart failure? Indeed many of these reports follow children collapsing in school. In two such reported cases the receiving medic questioned the wisdom of such high levels of psycho-stimulant medication. Anecdotal reports from around the U.K. support this and the BBC News website recently reported nine such deaths in the U.K. in a five year period.
Matthew's mother in a website post about her son said, "I want to ask every parent to ask themselves these important questions," which I include, as I agree strongly that her considered questions and responses may help to protect other children around the world from overzealous prescribers of psychotropics.
1) How different would your decisions be if information was withheld from you? How different would your decisions be if you receive only distorted data?
I, myself, know that our family's and Matthew's outcome would have been quite different had we received all information. If I had known certain facts I would have acted differently and my son would be alive today. I am sure that "Informed Consent", which states that a person's agreement is needed to allow something to happen,such as surgery, is based on a full disclosure of the facts needed to make the decision intelligently; i.e. knowledge of risks involved, alternatives, etc." and "the probable risks against the probable benefits."
The violation of parent's rights is when they are not told of the unscientific nature of so-called disorders such as ADHD or the risks of the treatments involving drugs like Ritalin, and they certainly are not told of alternatives to their child's behavior such as undiagnosed allergies or food sensitivities, which could manifest with the symptoms of what psychiatry calls ADHD.
Here are some facts, she states, that are being withheld from parents that could possibly alter their life decisions for their children and the consequent outcomes.
2) "Do you know that schools in the U.S. receive additional money from state and federal government for every child labeled and drugged?" This, she feels, clearly demonstrates a possible "financial incentive" for schools to label and drug children. It also backs up the alarming rise/increase in the labeling and drugging that has taken place in the last decade within our schools.
3) "Do you know that parents receiving welfare money from the government can get additional funds for every child that they have labeled and drugged?" In this way, many parents from lower socio-economic groups or single mothers are reeled into the drugging their child by these financial incentives being waved in front of them in hard times, making lifestyle changes possible.
4) "Do you know that by labeling your child with ADHD, you are actually labeling them with a 'mental illness' listed in the DSM manual, the arguably subjective and unscientific billing bible for psychiatry?" A four figure code has to be provided for the Health Insurance Company from the manual in order that they meet the costs of the prescribed psychotropic drugs. Thankfully this is not the case in the U.K. where decisions are made on the basis of the child's level of need.
For a very poignant end to this article I would like to share the views of some parents that were featured on a Channel 4 TV news item (see link below) to which I contributed in 2011. Three years on, the powerful messages and key issues still sadly remain. One particularly distraught father stated "If my son had had a life threatening disease and they were going to give him a drug to save his life then I could understand. As far as I am aware there is no one who has dropped dead of ADHD but my son is in a coffin because of the drugs they gave him." The Coroner shared some of this dignified father's views.
Dedicated to Dr Elizabeth Newson of Nottingham University, who was internationally renowned for her work in child development and autism. She pioneered assessment approaches that valued parental perspectives. She died aged 84 and a service today, in Oxford where she spent her final years commemorated her massive contribution to child psychology.

About Dave Traxson
I am a Chartered Educational Psychologist (BPS),who has seen the questionable practice of over-diagnosis and prescription of psychotropic drugs for children, increase exponentially in my thirty year career. I am a member of the Division of Educational and Child Psychologists Committee of the British Psychological Society. Now is the time to appropriately challenge doctors in cases where psychologists have ethical concerns about the Emotional Wellbeing of the children with whom they work. This is supported by the Health Professionals Council "Duties as a Registrant."(2009) = "You must not do anything or allow someone else to do something that you may have good reason to believe will put the health or safety of a service user in danger." We all therefore have a "Duty of Care to be Aware" of these issues in the schools where we work and to discuss concerns with a linkworker there and with the prescribing doctor. The National Committees of the Association of Educational Psychologists and the Division of Educational and Child Psychology of the British Psychological Society actively support my position of raising concerns about the impact of psychotropic drugs on the Safeguarding of Children in the U.K. from the potential short and longer term physical and psychological harm. I believe this is a key issue in promoting wellbeing of children within a progressive society. I was pleased to contribute to the BPS response to the American Psychiatric Association's consultation on DSM-5 and the paper was called "The Future of Psychiatric Diagnosis," (BPS 2012.)

February 13, 1944 Training Accident (See reel BO113, pp.957-958)
B-24F 41-29086 crashed and burned completely destroying the aircraft. It was on a cross country training flight piloted by 2 Lt. Glenn W. Turner. 5 men were killed including the pilot, the Co-pilot received major injuries and the other 4 men received minor injuries. No one bailed out. The plane experienced an oil leak from #2 engine which was feathered. The pilot then attempted a forced landing at March Field but was too low. Apparently when trying to apply power to go around again, the plane lost power in one or more additional engine and the plane veered to the left crashing onto the field hitting and destroying a parked B-24. (Apparently in several models of B-24s, suddenly going to full throttle to stop losing altitude actually causes a further loss of power. In these conditions, with 91 octane gas and the application of full throttle, detonation occurs causing further loss of power and control.)

Linda Sharar
has been a steady presence on the Northeast singer/songwriter circuit for over 25 years. With three independently released CDs, she has performed on stages at some of the top venues in the country, including Club Passim in Cambridge MA, the Iron Horse in Northampton MA, Godfrey Daniels in Bethlehem PA, the Bottom Line in New York City and Eddie's Attic in Atlanta GA. She has also been invited to appear at well known festivals such as the Cottonwood Festival in Atlanta, the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in Hillsdale NY and the Kerrville Folk Festival in Kerrville TX.
Linda uses her creative gifts as a songwriter/performer to fund-raise for charities and special causes, and was instrumental in the success of the first RESPOND compilation, which raised over $150,000 for the RESPOND shelter in Somerville MA and was hailed as the "Top album of 1999" by Billboard Magazine.
In 2012, in spite of a more limited touring schedule due to family commitments, Linda was welcomed for a full set on the Quarry Stage at the wonderful Black Potatoe Festival in Clinton NJ, and opened shows for prestigious artists including Antje Duvekot at the Driftwood Coffeehouse and Garnet Rogers at the Me & Thee.
She will appear in multiple showcases at the 2013 Toronto Folk Alliance Conference and hopes to continue growing her fan-base and repertoire at venues through New England and beyond.
Some accolades:
2008 Kerrville Folk Festival - Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Finalist!
Great American Music Awards - honorable mention for "Any Kind of Love"
We Are Listening Singer Songwriter Awards - honorable mention for "A Little Will Do"
"Everyday' shows a vulnerability in Linda's voice reminiscent of the shy and hungry New York folksinger she was fifteen years ago, but now with the confidence that comes from all the positives she's layered on her life—sister, spouse, mother. Linda Sharar is an amazing songwriter, and this album shines." —Christian Bauman, author of "In Hoboken", "Voodoo Lounge" and "The Ice Beneath You".
Daniel Gewertz of the Boston Herald wrote: "One hint of a singer-songwriter's maturation is the company she keeps. Linda Sharar's sophomore effort, 'Any Second Street' boasts a whole crew of Boston's finest musicians: guitarist Duke Levine (Mary Chapin Carpenter), drummer Dave Mattacks (Richard Thompson), bassists Mike Rivard and Richard Gates, and singers Catie Curtis and Christopher Williams, among others. The album, graced by an acute awareness of the fragility of life, is dedicated to two songwriters who died far too early: Alexis Shepard and Don Brody." Friday, July 6, 2001

Last summer, police pulled a man from the Toronto harbour, apparently drunk and soaked to the bone. Valentin Chygyrynskyy had allegedly steered his sailboat into another vessel parked along the harbour's west wall and was tossed into the drink.
Police immediately impounded his 25-foot boat, the Kittiwake, and now provincial attorneys are trying to seize it using civil forfeiture laws that target property "related" to crime.
Chygyrynskyy has yet to be convicted for impaired driving in the case, but the seizure of his boat is going ahead regardless. If the case is successful, it could set a precedent with serious implications for drunk drivers on both land and water: not only can you lose your licence and be sent to prison, but soon you might stand to lose your boat — or car — as well.
"I think it's a brilliant idea," said lawyer Craig Bottomley, who has experience in defending civil forfeiture cases. "It would have a fabulous deterrent effect."
"We know jail doesn't deter people (from drinking and driving), but losing your car might," he said.
The Ontario Civil Remedies Act is a Robin Hood law conceived as a way to take property from criminals and give the proceeds from its sale to victims. Yet as the Star has previously reported, no conviction — nor even a charge — is necessary for a seizure to take place.
This summer, an Oshawa couple had a portion of the value of their house seized even though drug possession charges against them were dropped. In Orillia, a landlord who rented rooms to homeless people could lose his property because the province contends that tenants paid rent with money made selling drugs.
Critics point out that because it's easier to prove a case in civil court than in criminal court, the forfeiture process has become a parallel justice system for weak cases.
"The Crown hasn't established that (Chygyrynskyy) was even driving the boat," said Joshua Krane, a lawyer who has argued a civil forfeiture case before the Supreme Court, but is not involved in Chygyrynskyy's case. "Is sitting on a boat and having a drink grounds for taking the boat?"
While many of the targets of civil asset forfeiture may not be sympathetic characters, Krane says seizing their property without a conviction is in tension with the principles behind the presumption of innocence, including proof beyond reasonable doubt.
Last month, Superior Court Justice David Corbett appointed a lawyer to research civil forfeiture and counter the Attorney General's argument for seizing the boat. In an "endorsement" of the lawyer, Corbett explained that Chygyrynskyy doesn't speak English and can't afford to hire counsel, but the issues involved are too important to rule on without both sides represented.
Corbett cautioned the lawyers representing the Ontario Attorney General's office about the implications of going after a boat for an incident in which no one was hurt.
"It is not alleged that the boat was acquired with the proceeds of crime, or that it is used (as) a criminal enterprise," wrote Corbett in his decision. "Rather, the basis on which forfeiture is sought is that Mr. Chygyrynskyy operated his sailboat while he was impaired from alcohol or drugs."
Corbett noted: "There is a significant legal question as to whether the Civil Remedies Act can and does extend to forfeiture of property in these circumstances. These are important issues that could have significant implications for a great many people."
In August 2013, Chygyrynskyy, 61, was swimming in the inner harbour and arrested after he took a breathalyzer test, blowing almost double the legal limit, said Det. Const. Dwayne King of the Toronto police asset forfeiture unit.
The Star was unable to reach Chygyrynskyy, who has no legal representative in the forfeiture case, for comment Wednesday evening.
Court records show that he has been charged with impaired or dangerous driving on at least five occasions in the past seven years, not including last summer's boating incident. He was convicted once, had charges withdrawn once, and has two ongoing cases; in April this year, he was again charged with impaired driving and pleaded guilty.
In an interview, King said this "clearly" played a role in the decision to go after his boat.
"Taking away his access to the boat is not going to stop him — we can all go out and buy a new boat — but it then becomes a deterrent: 'Do I want to lose another boat?'" he said.
King, who has been working on asset forfeiture with the Toronto police for more than six years, says seizing property is a very effective deterrent in a system where criminal charges are often dropped on technicalities or because of a limited budget to prosecute cases.
Unlike the situation in the United States, where billions of dollars of property are seized every year by police forces that get to keep the proceeds, civil forfeiture in Ontario is relatively rare and the proceeds go into general provincial coffers. King said his office passes along fewer than 50 cases a year to the Attorney General.
"The only items we send to civil (forfeiture) have some criminal taint to them," he said. "We've got the checks and balances in place to make sure those borderline cases don't make it."
Since 2003, the Ontario government has seized $44.6 million in property, including 18 vehicles, using the Civil Remedies Act. The Attorney General's office said at least three of the vehicles were involved in "repeat drinking and driving offences."
The Civil Remedies Act stipulates that a vehicle can be seized if it "was or is likely to be used" in impaired driving and the driver has had his or her licence suspended twice in the past 10 years.
"(Chygyrynskyy's case) seems to fit within the criteria of the act," said Bottomley. "But one would hope that the civil office would wait for the criminal charges to be determined before they made their application."
Chygyrynskyy's charges are due to be heard in court in February.

Community Colleges, University System Commit to More NH STEM Graduates
Community Colleges, University System Commit to More NH STEM Graduates
For Immediate Release - May 15, 2012
Contact: Shannon Reid, 271-2795
Concord, N.H. - Top officials from New Hampshire's two public systems of higher education are committing to increase the number of graduates with degrees and certificates in science, technology, engineering and math (so-called STEM fields). Representatives from the University System of New Hampshire (USNH) and the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) signed a letter of commitment today that sets out steps they will take together to meet the goal of increasing by 50% the number of STEM educated graduates by 2020 and doubling that number by 2025. Specific steps will include:
- Creation of new transfer pathways for students in STEM fields
- Collaboration on program development and delivery
- Promotion of STEM career opportunities
- Sharing of facilities, equipment, technology, and staff and faculty expertise
- Identification of resources to support STEM field education
- A commitment to expand access to education and opportunities in STEM fields for all state residents, across all regions of the state and all socio-economic groups
- Other initiatives in partnership with NH employers
Currently the two systems graduate approximately 1,120 students in the STEM fields, encompassing Computer Technologies, Advanced Machine Tool Technology, Mechatronics, Automation and Robotics, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Mechanical Design Technology, Numerical Control Programming, Electrical Engineering, Biotechnology, Precision Welding, Energy Services Technology, and Aviation Technology at the certificate and associate degree level, and degrees at the bachelors, masters and doctoral level fields that include Engineering, Computer & Information Sciences, Biological & Biomedical Sciences, Math & Statistics, and the Physical Sciences, with a variety of sub-disciplines. Allied Health disciplines are in addition to those specific STEM programs.
While New Hampshire consistently ranks among the top 10 states in the percentages of adults with associates, bachelors and graduate degrees, the state is not as well-positioned in the percentages of post-secondary degree holders in science and engineering. Recent trends indicate the historical reliance on in-migration of highly educated workers cannot be sustained.
"I applaud the community college and university systems for responding to the needs of our economy and creating more opportunities for our people to get a good, high-paying job here in New Hampshire," said Gov. Lynch. "Our economic future relies on the strength of our workforce. The commitment by our public institutions of higher education to increase the number of STEM graduates will help ensure we have the workers with the skills that companies need to fill the jobs of tomorrow."
Many hiring officials in New Hampshire say that businesses in advanced manufacturing and other industries have job openings available for engineers, scientists and skilled technicians but, an appropriately skilled supply of workers is not readily available. The immediate gap is being addressed by some innovative collaborative efforts between community college and university system institutions and individual businesses, but there is a strong need to scale up these efforts and to address the long-term pipeline of skilled engineers, scientists and technicians available across a range of industries.
"A state cannot compete effectively in a global technology-based economy, retain its high income ranking or significantly advance economic opportunity for residents without adequate numbers of people who are educated and trained to operate in science, technology, engineering and mathematics," said USNH Chancellor Ed MacKay. "The commitment being made today represents a joining of efforts by the two public systems of postsecondary education in New Hampshire to provide unprecedented links and opportunities for students to enter and progress in the STEM fields."
Ross Gittell, Chancellor of the Community College System, said "This initiative will include working closely with high schools and with employers to align curriculum and promote the opportunities for students in STEM fields. Not only are there good jobs available now for individuals with strong STEM preparation, but many of the careers of the future will involve cutting-edge processes and technology. The ultimate goal of this initiative is to ensure that New Hampshire retains its economic edge in the knowledge economy and that New Hampshire residents have access to opportunities for economic advancement."
This commitment complements a new initiative of the Community College System to create training programs in advanced manufacturing through a $20 million, 3-year grant from the US Department of Labor.

US News and World Report- The State of Being #1
What is the best state in the country?
According to a new series of rankings released by U.S. News and World Report, that title actually belongs to Massachusetts. Yep, It looks like we've been right all along.
The inaugural rankings were compiled by evaluating all 50 states across a range of criteria from education and healthcare to infrastructure and the economy. The rankings were developed using McKinsey and Company's "Leading States Index," which combines thousands of data points across 68 specific metrics.
After Massachusetts, the best states are our northern neighbor New Hampshire, followed by Minnesota, North Dakota and Washington.
The 68 metrics in the "Leading States Index" were separated into 20 groups, which were further arranged into the following seven categories: Health Care; Education; Infrastructure; Crime and Corrections; Opportunity; Economy; Government.
All categories were weighted based on a national survey that asked people to prioritize seven categories in their state, such as education, crime and others in the order of most important and least important. Health care and education received the highest weightings nationwide — and were the two best showings for the Bay State.
In the seven categories, Massachusetts is No. 1 in education, Hawaii is No. 1 in health care, Oregon is No. 1 in infrastructure, Vermont is No. 1 in crime and corrections, New Hampshire is No. 1 in opportunity, Colorado is No. 1 in economy and Indiana ranks No. 1 for government.
So why is Massachusetts the best? Here's how the Bay State ranked across all seven categories:
Health Care: 2
Education: 1
Infrastructure: 19
Crime and Corrections: 7
Opportunity: 16
Economy: 5
Government: 15
How did we rank so high in some of the major categories?
Well for health care, we are No. 1 in health care enrollment and child wellness visits, No. 2 in adult dental visits and medicare quality and No. 3 in adult wellness visits, low infant mortality rate and low suicide rate.
For education, we are No. 1 in educational attainment, college readiness, NAEP math scores, No. 2 in NAEP reading scores and No. 3 in preschool enrollment.
We were No. 2 in patent creation and No. 3 in low unemployment rate, leading to a strong showing in economy.
And for infrastructure, where we ranked just 19th, we are No. 1 in the all- important Internet Access category, thanks to a second-place showing in online download speed and third-place showing in households with internet access.
NOTE: The data was pulled from various sources, with government data being favored over other sources due to its reliability.
Town of Chelmsford, MA Passes Business District Overlay to Spur Redevelopment
Chelmsford Prepares for the Future with Approval of Route 129 Zoning Overlay
On October 24, 2016, the Town of Chelmsford overwhelmingly voted to take a significant step towards reinventing itself to re-establish its regional leadership role as the center of community and commerce for northeastern Massachusetts.
Eighty-seven percent (87%) of Chelmsford's town meeting representatives voted to approve a zoning overlay for its Route 129 business corridor. The 623-acre area is already home to multiple local, regional and world headquarters, such as Hittite, Sycamore Networks, Lockhead Martin and Comcast. The adopted overlay provides new opportunities for comprehensive (re)development aimed at blending amenities such as restaurants, retail, indoor recreation, entertainment, hotels, and housing to foster a "live, work, and play" environment.
A broad outreach of stakeholder's voices was sought to ensure the overlay would meet the needs of all constituents. Chelmsford's Planning Board used data compiled by the Chelmsford Economic Development Commission from focus groups with commercial brokers, company leaders, industrial property owners, and the community to craft smart zoning designed to support current and future market needs.
The resulting bylaw creates a flexible and responsive zoning overlay that enhances the "129 business corridor" by enabling broader use and larger scale (re)development. It promotes increased building heights, parking garages and integrated amenities to stimulate multi-use site development. Further, the overlay introduces opportunities for the development of multi-family housing to address changing trends and stakeholders needs.
The 129 overlay plan received unanimous endorsement by key governing and regulatory boards, demonstrating the depth of Chelmsford's commitment to economic development and its desire to compete regionally. The Planning Board sponsored the zoning change and the Economic Development Commission actively canvassed the support of the community. The Finance and School Committee unanimously endorsed the initiative as did a majority of the Board of Selectmen.
Chelmsford's "129 business corridor" is further enriched by its distinct location at the intersection of Route 495 and Route 3 which strengthens the competitive advantage of all businesses in the corridor. Likewise, the overlay's increased building heights abutting Route 3 offers an incredible opportunity for highway visibility and promotion. With Boston, just 20 miles to its south, and New Hampshire only minutes away, Chelmsford can truly be described as the Crossroads of Community and Commerce.

Home Seller's: What to Look For in a Real Estate Agent
SELLER's EXPECTATION:
What to Look For in a Real Estate Agent
To start, not all real estate agents operate equally. An effective real estate agent must be passionate, persistent, knowledgeable and work full time. An agents #1 goal is to meet the seller's expectation by taking the time to understand the seller's needs. The agent must sell a home timely, at the right price and with little burden to the homeowner as possible. To this end the following qualities are universally demonstrated by successful real estate agents and demanded by home sellers.
According to a current survey by Qazoo.com and reported by the National Real Estate Post, the #1 complaint from consumers about a real estate agent is their lack of communication skills. A real estate agent must be balanced. They must be a good listener and a good teacher. As important, a real estate agent must be responsive. At your first meeting the real estate agent should inquire how you best like to communicate- by telephone, email, text or other.
Honesty is the best policy and it helps to keep life simple. The truth will always be revealed. Honesty is about being transparent sharing the truth no matter the cost. Sadly, at times the truth is stretched or not shared because a real estate agent hopes to protect their self- interest or the seller's feelings. For example, a real estate agent will advise a seller their home is worth more than the market will bear. The agent does this to either secure the listing (self-interest) or to not upset the seller. Either way ultimately the seller loses as their home will linger on the market for too long and inevitably sell for a reduced price.
A real estate agent needs to have a strong understanding of market dynamics and people. Your real estate agent must help you identify your needs to successfully navigate the selling process for your advantage. It is imperative that your agent knows how to handle the challenges that will arise when selling a home, for example, how to work with a demanding buyer or the consequence of not disclosing known impediments.
Once you are confident a prospective real estate agent embodies the above qualities make sure to inquire about a sales and marketing system. Studies confirm home sellers want to work with real estate agents that apply a comprehensive system to sell a home.

Why are Real Estate Agents Incompetent?
In a recent InMan News* survey members were asked: In your opinion what are the major challenges the real estate industry is facing?
- 77% of the respondents reported it is Low Quality Agents.
*Inman News is the industry's leading source of real estate information for real estate professionals.
This finding from Inman News is consistent with the DANGER REPORT from the National Association of Realtors which also found that "masses of marginal agents" were the no. 1 threat to the industry.
3 Reasons for Incompetent Real Estate Agents:
- Part-Time Agents
- Low Barrier of Entry
- Agents have been in the business for too long and have not kept current with technology and consumer needs.
11 proposals for weeding out shoddy real estate agents (Inman News)
- Increase Realtor association dues
- Raise Realtor education requirements
- Increase real estate license fees
- Require real estate agents to demonstrate productivity
- Require real estate agents or Realtors to graduate college
- Make it harder to qualify for a real estate license
- Require agents to apprentice under a broker
- Beef up regulators' real estate complaint process
- Beef up Realtor ethics complaint process
- Make it easy to find out if an agent has committed infractions
- Educate consumers on how to choose a real estate agent
The very best approach to weeding out an incompetent real estate agent is to remove the absurd monetary incentive (commission) associated with a single real estate transaction. The occupation of real estate is a profession and we should charge a professional FIXED FEE, like a doctor.
The above 11 proposed ideas help but a surefire way to discourage incompetency is to make it impossible for an agent to craft enough commission from a single real estate tranasction to supplement an income. Real estate is a passion exemplified by a full time professional REALTOR. Real estate is more than a nine to five job. REALTORS live, breathe and continuously think how we can make the selling experience better for home sellers and buyers.
The benefits to reducing the transaction cost is 2-fold:
- It weeds out incompetent agents and guarantees home buyers and sellers a more profitable experience.
A real estate professional (REALTOR) competing on price and delivering a high level quality service should be encouraged and rewarded by the industry with longevity and consumer loyalty.

Osteopathic medicine is a distinctive form of medical care that is founded on the philosophy that all of our body systems are interrelated and dependent upon one another for good health. This philosophy was developed in 1874 by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, who pioneered the concept of "Wellness" and recognized the importance of treating illness within the context of the whole body or whole person. (1)
Osteopathic physicians use all of the tools available through modern medicine including prescription medicine and surgery. They are trained as complete physicians in all the latest medical and surgical techniques with an emphasis on holistic care. Their training includes specialized training in osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) which allows them the ability to do spinal adjustments to treat a variety medical problems. They incorporate osteopathic manipulative medicine into their regimen of patient care when appropriate. Osteopathic manipulative medicine is a set of manual medicine techniques that may be used to diagnose illness and injury, relieve pain, restore range of motion, and enhance the body's inherent capacity to heal. (1) This is one additional tool in the osteopathic physician's armamentarium of medical treatments to be able to provide additional care for medical, spinal, and musculoskeletal problems.
Physicians licensed as Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DO's), like their allopathic counterparts (MD's), must pass national and state medical board examinations in order to obtain a license to practice medicine. There are about 50,000 Osteopathic physicians who provide comprehensive medical care to patients in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. (1)
Sports Medicine:
Sports medicine is the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of health related medical problems associated with sports and physical activity. We live in a very active community where physical activity is important in the prevention of most of the serious health conditions found in our society. With an increased emphasis on physical activity, the medical field has developed an area of medicine to deal with these medical conditions called Sports Medicine. Our Medical Providers provide Comprehensive Sports Medicine Care by providing patients with pre-participation sports physicals to screen for any medical problems that could place an athlete at risk while playing or participating in their sport. We care and treat sports related medical problems including but not limited to: exercise induced asthma, the female sports triad, prevention and care of sports related injuries, musculoskeletal injuries, sprains, stains, fractures, skin problems, pain, overuse injuries, hernias, nutrition, training, and exercise advice.

Snippets of my Month!March 17, 2018
The start of my 2018 has been surprisingly busy. I mean, I haven't done anything majorly exciting as of yet, but I've certainly been making the most of my time off. It's been a hectic few months since summer - graduating from university and being thrown into the deep end at work by starting during the Christmas period. But now that I've come out the other end, my hours have been way more manageable and I'm still in the midst of coming to terms with the fact that I don't have any assignments looming over me anymore. It means my time off is actually my time, and it's been pretty awesome if I'm being totally honest!
I think one of my favourite things about having my own place now is hosting the fam. My mum and sister visited Belfast at the beginning of February for a girly weekend and while mum has already visited a number of times (which is totally like a seal of approval), it was my sister's first stay at the new pad. Funnily enough as a teen, I used to get away to her Dublin apartment for couple of weekends during the summer holidays as a mini city break, and I love that I'm now able to return the favour. Our aim for the weekend was to sort ourselves out for my brother's upcoming wedding but we also managed to squeeze in juuust a couple of gins and a quick trip to the seaside.
I really took living in the countryside for granted when I was back at home for the summer. Even when I went to uni, there was a massive park FULL of greenery that I could wander through whenever I felt a little homesick, but I find that around our apartment, trees and plants are few and far between. Adam and I had a rare correlating day off together, so we headed into town to grab some long overdue Korean food, followed by a walk through the botanic gardens. It's a place we often used to visit during the early stages of our long distance relationship, so it felt quite nostalgic returning after a couple of years. It also opened my eyes to how ignorant I had been towards plants back in the day - so sorry plants!!
Although I have a lot of free time, I'm finding it difficult to fit everything that I want to do into my day. For example - going to work, unwinding watching TV, reading a physical book, drawing drawing and more drawing, blogging and freaking exercise. Sooo, I'm becoming a serious multitasker. While watching TV I'm constantly working on my lettering and just small doodles which I can later digitise on my iPad Pro. Nothing fancy AT ALL to show but here are a couple of bits n' pieces I've been working on & I'm sure I'll show you more once I improve at a later date. Was delighted with how my Chinese lantern, red pockets and new Oliver Bonas mugs turned out!
So there's just a little update as to what I've been up to. I want to make my blog way more personal now as I think I'll be more likely to keep up with it. Oh, and since writing the bulk of this post, we attended my brother's wedding and had the most magical weekend in an apartment by the sea, then in a castle where the ceremony took place. It was a super emotional few days and I'm honestly quite sad now it's now all over. I'm definitely the kind of person who needs a lot of family time to recharge butttt I guess that's okay because we've got a a lot planned throughout the upcoming year that I am living for and will be sure to blog about. Until next time!

The following documents describe proposals for allowing SIP to carry ISUP messages and describe how SIP and PSTN signaling protocols can interwork. Note: The current drafts are draft-zimmerer-sip-bcp-t-00, draft-ietf-sip-isup, and draft-ietf-sip-isup-mime-04. Other drafts dealing with ISUP interworking are obsolete and should not be used. (These obsolete drafts include draft-zimmerer-mmusic-sip-bcp-t-00, draft-camarillo-mmusic-sip-isup-bcp-00, draft-ietf-mmusic-sip-isup-mime-00.) Implementors should be aware that is likely that even the above drafts will change significantly before being standardized. A summary of efforts in this area.
A test specification is at Telenor Signalling System No. 7 Norwegian national interconnect - Test descriptions for Version 2 interface additional tests: ISDN-SIP end-to-end.
July 2000. (approved August 2000 as Proposed Standard)
This document proposes an extension to the Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP). This extension adds the INFO method to the SIP protocol. The
intent of the INFO method is to allow for the carrying of session
related control information that is generated during a session. One
example of such session control information is ISUP and ISDN signaling
messages used to control telephony call services. This and other
example uses of the INFO method may be standardized in the future.
May 2001
This document describes a way to map ISUP overlap signalling to SIP.
R. Mahy
February 2001.
This document demonstrates a way for interested SIP User Agents which
are not a party to the media of a call or session, to receive SIP event
notifications when signaled digits, or other specific telephony-related
events are detected. This is useful for a variety of applications that
monitor calls for a specific event (e.g.: a long pound, special
sequence of digits, or a fax signal) and--only then--take an active role
in the monitored calls.
Jon Peterson and Lyndon Ong
February 2001.
This document defines procedures within SIP-T for translation of ISUP
call context to SIP call context and vice versa to allow ISUP calls to
pass through SIP networks while preserving feature transparency.
March 2001.
If Internet Telephony is to offer a full replacement for traditional
telephone services, it needs to provide emergency call services. In the
United States, emergency calls are known as 911 services, based on the
number dialed. This note desccribes some options for providing enhanced
emergency service, i.e., emergency calls that allow emergency response
centers to determine the address where the caller is located. This is
made more difficult by the temporary nature of IP addresses, the large
number of ISPs and their lack of legal responsibility for emergency
services and the ability of many Internet terminals to be connected to
the Internet at different locations. This note explores some of the
requirements and design choices.
November 2000.
This document describes how SIP may use the DNS to resolve services
associated with E.164 numbers, as specified in draft-ietf-enum-e164-dns.
February 2001
This draft gives a first input on the SIP-IN Interworking Protocol
Architecture and Procedures for further discussion into the IETF as
part of the SIP-IN Interworking (SIN design team).
November 2000.
SIP is an excellent vehicle for the converged network services of the
future; of that there is no doubt. However, even in the near term, SIP
is an equally powerful solution to bridge the PSTN and VoIP networks by
its application to the IN (Intelligent Network) services domain. This
Internet Draft details our experiences of applying SIP to the said
domain. We use a SIP call controller to execute IN services by mapping
IN call model states to those of the SIP protocol state machine. [2]
uses the notion of call model integration, an example of which is to use
the IN call model as a canonical call model to map the protocol states
of IP (Internet Protocol) based call controllers (SIP, H.323,...) to
those of the IN call model.
November 2000.
In Internet telephony, the call control functions of a traditional
circuit switch are replaced by a IP-based call controller that must
provide features normally provided by the traditional switch, including
operating as a SSP for IN features. A traditional switch is armed with
an IN call model that provides it a means to reach out and make service
decisions based on intelligence stored elsewhere. Internet call
controllers, by contrast, do not have an IN call model. Furthermore,
since there are many Internet call models with varying number of states
than the IN call model, there has to be a mapping from the IN call model
states to the equivalent states of the Internet call model if existing
services are to be accessed transparently. To leverage the existing IN
services from the Internet domain, this draft proposes a mapping from
the states of the IN call model to the states of SIP, an Internet call
signaling protocol.
November 2000.
This document describes a mechanism by which an appropriate ringback
tone may be played to the calling party when the called party's device
is alerting. It is written specifcally to address the case where the
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is used to initiate voice-over-IP
calls. It also lists ringback characteristics for several countries.
March 2001.
The Session Initiation Protocol allows the establishment of real-
time Internet fax communications as defined by the ITU-T T.38
recommendation. This document attempts to clarify the options
available to Internet telephony gateway vendors to handle real-time
fax calls using SIP.
March 2001.
SIP-T (earlier referred to as the SIP-BCP-T) is a mechanism that uses
SIP to facilitate the interconnection of the PSTN with IP. This
document explains the context and the architectures in which SIP-T may
be used. This document has to be studied in conjunction with the
existing SIP-T (referred to in some older documents as SIP-BCP-T)
September 2000.
This document describes MIME types for application/ISUP and
application/QSIG objects for use in SIP applications, according to the
rules defined in RFC 2048 [1]. These types can be used to identify ISUP
and QSIG objects within a SIP message such as INVITE or INFO, as might
be implemented when using SIP between legacy systems.
July 2000.
The goal of this document is to identify a new IETF work item. The
document defines the term 'soft switch' as a mechanism by which PSTN
Intelligent Network (IN) service control can be accessed by VoIP
gateways and associated SIP servers. The document mechanism for
interworking of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Intelligent
Network Application Part Protocol (INAP).
July 2000
The goal of this document is to identify and propose a new work item for
the IETF. This document describes the PSTN Intelligent Network (IN)
Architecture support of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) networks. The
concept of the 'Soft-SSF' is introduced which acts as an overlay between
the IP telephony call control and the Intelligent Network layer provided
by the IN Service Switching Function (SSF) and the IN Service Control
Function (SCF). This 'Soft-SSF' provides the necessary mapping between
the SIP protocol state machine and the IN Basic Call State Model (BCSM).
Also introduced is the Call Manager Function (CMF) which acts as a
Mediation Node. The CMF entity is responsible for passing service
related information to and from IN service layer, namely the SCF, and
managing the service control relationship. As such, the CMF may contain
a SSF-like functionality or subset thereof, to model the pre and post
conditions that are required to interact with an SCF. The document
specifically deals with the proposed standardized interfaces between the
functional entities identified in the IN Network with associated
functional entities represented in the SIP network. A mapping of
parameters of the SIP protocol to the Intelligent Network Application
Part Protocol(INAP) may be required for the support of the SIP Proxy
Server call control protocol, states and events. Thereby enabling the
Mediation Node (CMF) to model a SIP Proxy server. It is the proposal of
this document to define the Mediation Node(CMF)to Soft SSF interface as
a work item in the IETF as it is presently not a subject for
This document describes the use of the SIP INFO Method for communicating
mid-call events in SIP sessions. Two new MIME types are described,
according to the rules defined in RFC 2046 [2], for use in the INFO
message. These media types can be used within a SIP INFO message to
request, and report, event detection between SIP network entities.
Emphasis is placed on DTMF signaling to communicate user indications
when using SIP between a Media Gateway Controller (MGC) and a SIP
May 2001.
This document describes a way to perform the mapping between two
signaling protocols: the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the
ISDN User Part (ISUP) of SS7.

The tissue box in the school library is almost empty – again. Between the students and me, we are making short work of it. Of course, many of the kids are at home sneezing and blowing their noses. My friends in the medical world tell me there are long lines in their offices. Today's headline on Boston.com is "Mayor Menino declares flu health emergency in Boston." I don't have the flu, but I do feel achy and yucky. If you have a sick child at home who would enjoy a fun story along with their chicken soup, here are five good books about being sick. They're not guaranteed to cure the cold, but they will definitely make the day a bit brighter!
Sniffles for Bear by Bonny Becker (I love this series of books about the curmudgeonly bear and his best friend, a cheery mouse)
Llama Llama Home with Mama by Anna Dewdney (part of the sweet and popular series about the llama who always wears red pajamas)
A Sick Day for Amos McGee by Philip C. Stead (I read this book to a class today and was reminded what a perfect picture book this is. When I finished reading, one of the boys said "I can see why you like that one!")
Bear Feels Sick by Karma Wilson (I left this book on display today and here are two kids who found it! Maybe they can relate….)
How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon? by Jane Yolen (The answer: "He drinks lots of juice, and he gets lots of rest. He's good at the doctor's, 'cause doctors know best.")
To all of you who may be sneezing and blowing your nose….I would suggest reading a good book – and following the dino's advice!

Eyewitness I.D. Reform
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
A series of eyewitness reforms which call for police officers in Allegheny County to use nationally accepted standards to prevent false eyewitness identifications in criminal investigations has been recommended to every law enforcement agency in the county by a prominent police chief's group.
The voluntary reform policy was circulated by the executive board of the Allegheny County Chiefs of Police Association after four months of study. It aims to start bringing eyewitness identification techniques in this county in line with modern science of memory issues that were the basis of eyewitness reform recommendations issued six years ago by the U.S. Department of Justice. The issues were detailed last May in the Post-Gazette series "Sight Unseen."
The wide-ranging policy circulated in the past few weeks to approximately 120 police agencies in the county suggests:
· Police should use a "double-blind" photo identification procedure where someone other than the investigator – who does not know who the suspect is -- constructs photo arrays with non-suspects as fillers to reduce suggestiveness;
· Lawmen should instruct witnesses that the perpetrator may or may not be in the array, and witnesses should be presented photos one-at-a-time to prevent comparisons with other suspects;
· Eyewitnesses should be recorded on tape immediately after an identification procedure to establish their degree of confidence, and
· Police should avoid multiple photo identification procedures where the same witness views the same suspect more than once.
A Clear Need
Chief Gary W. Anderson of McCandless, president of the chief's association, said the group's 19 member board decided to create the voluntary guidelines after it became clear few Allegheny County departments have policies on eyewitness identifications.
The board made the specific guidelines available to the members so "they can make their own individual choices," said Chief Anderson, who is implementing all of them in McCandless without problems.
Tim Logue, secretary of the chief's group who is a retired Green Tree Borough police chief now working with the Allegheny County District Attorney's investigations unit, said he has had a positive response from police chiefs who examined the voluntary proposal during a vetting process that began in August.
"They have really agreed that is something that needs to be addressed," Mr. Logue said.
He said the Western Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association, which includes agencies from Allegheny and 21 surrounding counties, will consider the policy reforms at a meeting this month.
"Our goal as police administrators is to ensure that no one who is innocent is wrongfully convicted. It that happens through this kind of policy, I think we have an obligation to do it," Mr. Logue said.
The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police is examining the draft proposal as part of its ongoing review of eyewitness identification practices.
Stephen A. Zappala Jr., Allegheny County District Attorney, said the series published by the Post-Gazette in May caused him to ask the police chiefs group to examine eyewitness identification reforms. The series challenged eyewitness identifications in numerous cases in this region – a New Castle man has been released from prison as a result of it -- and showed few departments have eyewitness identification procedures that meet national standards.
The three-part series was authored by students of the Innocence Institute of Point Park University, a partnership between the school's Department of Journalism and Mass Communication and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette where students learn investigative reporting by probing into real-world allegations of injustice.
Mr. Zappala said the case of Thomas Doswell, who was positively identified by an eyewitness in 1986 as an East End rapist and incarcerated for almost 19 years until a DNA test proved his innocence last August, put an exclamation point on his desire to push eyewitness policy reforms.
"It makes a lot of sense. Why not have the best practices in place because we are all trying to get the same results, which is a just result," Mr. Zappala said of the first eyewitness identification policy reforms in this region.
Eyewitness Reforms
Along with the double blind photo identification process where an administrator who does not know who the suspect is presents the photos to reduce suggestiveness, the reform policy asks police to do sequential photo arrays including one suspect at a time so witnesses don't compare pictures; use suspect photos that resemble what they looked like on the day of the crime; use fillers that reasonably resemble witness descriptions; lead the process with a filler, and ensure no information about previous arrests is visible to the witness.
Witnesses should be separated, no one should be present who knows the identity of the suspect, the administrator should not offer commentary, and specific instructions that tell witnesses the suspect may or may not be present should be given.
They also say the photos should be presented one at a time.
After the photo identification, police are instructed to preserve them in their original condition and immediately record the confidence of the witness, something that often doesn't happen.
It suggests many of the same policy reforms when police construct live lineups.
The voluntary policy also suggests that while show-up identifications -- where a nabbed suspect is presented to an eyewitness shortly after an incident -- are "inherently more suggestive," officers should document a description before the show-up.
They also should try to avoid letting the witness see the suspect in handcuffs or in the back of a police car and the officers should not suggest anything to the witness about the detained person.
If there are multiple witnesses, they should confront the suspect one at a time to prevent them from teaming up and police should promptly record the witness statements in show-up identifications.
Chief Anderson said while departments who implement the "double-blind" process of a disinterested person constructing a photo array or live line-up could incur additional labor costs through overtime and court costs, most of the suggested policy reforms are simple changes of process that cost nothing.
Following a National Trend
Across the country, police officials and prosecutors have been re-evaluating eyewitness identification procedures because of a growing body of cases in which eyewitnesses have falsely identified and helped convict innocent people, while letting the guilty go free.
Mistaken eyewitness identification helped convict nearly 80 percent of the 163 people like Doswell who were exonerated through DNA testing by the New York-based Innocence Project at the Cardozo Law School of Yeshiva University. Other studies also have shown false eyewitness identifications have led to wrongful convictions.
In 2001, New Jersey became the first state to adopt eyewitness reforms. They have been followed in Virginia, the cities of Boston, Chicago and Minneapolis, among other places.
Prior to the Allegheny County police chief's policy statement, the Post-Gazette/Innocence Institute series reported most police chiefs in Western Pennsylvania had no such policies, instead relying on long used processes different from the new processes that have led to numerous costly court challenges.
"Having a successful investigation come to fruition because of good eyewitness testimony and eyewitness identification is simply a matter of doing the right thing," Chief Anderson said, suggesting the reforms constitute good police work that will help ensure officers nab the right culprits in crime.
"That's what the object is," he said.

Anyways onto what the post is truly about! So I read Angel of Fire by William King a few months ago, and it was a really really good read. I enjoyed it thoroughly and I look forward to the rest of the series (I think it is going to be a trilogy). The fact it was not from Lord Solar's perspective, but rather a group of unlikely heroes that survived the destruction of their Baneblade is pretty cool and well done. It allows Macharius to remain larger than life.
|Lord Solar Alexander the Great... I mean Macharius
Dave Taylor's awesome Genswick, off which I am modeling my own Genswick.
Well since I am also doing Savlar Chem Dogs for my Penal Legionaires (though not mentioned in the campaign book) and I loved Angel of Fire AND Genswick served under Macharius, I firgured "Why not make my Genswick part of the greatest crusade since The Great Crusade?"
So what does this mean? Well for one, I have bough Macharius' model, and I am going to make him a custom little retinue, maybe even the guys from Angel of Fire. As well I will do Inquisitor Drake from Angel of Fire. As well, I can make my tanks part of the crusade force by making them from the same world as the Armoured regiments that fought at Karsk (I forget the name off the top of my head, but just need to check the book when it comes time to paint).
But I what will also be cool, and allow me to thematically fit in a Valkyrie or Vendetta is to do Merican Fusilier Stormtroopers. I also still have DKK Grenadiers, which were Crusade forces, but I am not sure I will keep or sell those. I'd like to do the Mericans more as it will be more fun and mroe impressive IMO.
So that is the direction that is going. Just wanted to do a quick update on that. You know, instead of painting Death Company, I should do a quick squad of Genswick (so much faster to paint than Marines) or Savlar and share them.

SO COOL! This is why even your picture only posts are amazing! Just saw the one from Bo where you wondered aloud if you'd continue to document LHTH - and I also vote yes! =) The picture ones are just as much of a blessing as the written out ones. Of course, your family comes first, and if it's too much of a burden, by all means, let it go. But it's an amazing blessing to see your creativity! =)

Aw, thank you, Joy! I don't even know if I will have enough to do a post ~ I've not been taking many pics. We did a craft for The Fiery Furnace and I've taken a few pics, but not many. Bo was getting bored with the letter activities, so we are mostly reading the Bible story book and Big Thoughts for Little People and doing a craft/activity every now and then. But, thank you so much!
