Higher Education Works for New Hampshire
Welcome to UNH Works!
UNH Works brings together friends of UNH—alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff and voters—to show their support for UNH to New Hampshire's elected officials. To date, over 1300 advocates have signed up. We hope to convince state lawmakers to restore public funding for UNH, which was cut by nearly 50 percent last year. If the budget is returned to 2010 levels, the University pledges to freeze in-state tuition for two years and increase aid to students in need.
UNH Advocates can help us keep UNH affordable and accessible--and preserve our role in driving the state's economy and developing the talent, research and innovation that benefit all in New Hampshire.

Michael Jason Registe, the double-homicide suspect who internationally became a most wanted fugitive after the 2007 execution-style killings of 21-year-old Randy Newton Jr. and 20-year-old Bryan Kilgore, is set to plead guilty Friday in Muscogee Superior Court, according to court records.
A court docket has Registe scheduled to plead at 2 p.m. Friday in Judge William Rumers courtroom on the Columbus Government Centers 10th floor.
Though court officials here said the case is to be settled then, Registes Atlanta attorney today would not confirm that: Were working on it, but nothing has been confirmed, said Manny Arora.
Because of conflicts involving authorities here who previously worked on the case, Registes prosecution is assigned to Laura Murphree of the Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia. She was not immediately available for comment.
Registe faces two counts of murder, two of using a firearm to commit a crime, and one count each of armed robbery, attempted armed robbery and being a convicted felon with a firearm. His trial had been set to start Monday.
Should his plea go through Friday, it will bring to an end a six-year saga that began at 9:23 p.m. July 20, 2007, when police called to a shooting at the 3911 Steam Mill Road Cross Creek Apartments found Kilgore in the drivers seat of a Chevrolet Blazer and Newton on the ground outside the passengers side door. Both had been shot in the head.
Police used cell-phone records to identify the suspect and set off an international manhunt for Registe, who had fled the country. The case gained widespread media attention when Registe made the FBIs Ten Most Wanted list and was featured on the TV show Americas Most Wanted. The case continued to make headlines after his capture, twice going to the Georgia Supreme Court before it could be set for trial.
On Aug. 27, 2008, authorities on the Caribbean island of St. Maarten of the Netherlands Antilles took Registe into custody. But he was not extradited back to the United States until July 23, 2009, with Dutch officials surrendering him on the condition prosecutors here not seek the death penalty.
On Aug. 4, 2009, Columbus attorney Stacey Jackson became Registes defense attorney, but not for long. Before he went into private practice in July 2008, Jackson since August 2000 had worked in the district attorneys office, and as a prosecutor had signed three search warrant applications seeking Registes cell phone records.
Prosecutors argued Jackson had a conflict, and on Sept. 25, 2009, then-Judge Doug Pullen agreed and ordered Jackson to leave the case. Jackson appealed to the Georgia Supreme Court, which upheld Pullens decision on July 12, 2010.
Jackson was replaced by Arora, who on Jan. 7, 2011, filed a motion to suppress the cell phone data police used to identify and track Registe. Superior Court Judge John Allen rejected Arora's motion a year later, ruling that detectives had acquired only the telephone numbers Registe called, not the content of private conversations. Those numbers belonged to Cricket Communications, not to Registe, Allen wrote.
Arora appealed that decision to the Georgia Supreme Court, which upheld Allens ruling in November 2012.

Adopt a Loon
Adopt Your Own Loon
When you Adopt a Loon, you help support BRI's efforts to band and monitor these magnificent birds. Much can be gained by tracking banded individuals. Field observations on unmarked populations have provided general knowledge, however, to more fully understand the species, marked individuals must be followed over time.
BRI has captured and color-marked more than 3,000 loons in 22 states and provinces. Through this effort, loons have now become the foremost species studied to determine the exposure and effects of mercury across North America.
What We've Learned from Banded Loons
Understanding loon life history is critical to conservation strategies. Information we've discovered through tracking individual loons includes:
- Age for first year in breeding plumage: 2 years
- Age at first breeding: 4 years
- Oldest known marked individual: 22 years (and counting)
- Average percent of loons who return to their breeding territory each year: 80%
- Longest known return of an individual to a breeding territory: 13 years
- Longest known return of the same pair to the same breeding territory: 9 years
Your support makes a difference!
It's Easy to Adopt a Loon
The adoption process is quick and simple. Click here to sign up. Once you do, you will receive a packet that includes:
- A description of your loon's personal history (how old it is, its size and weight, what lake it resides on, and how many offspring the Loon has parented)
- A personalized Adopt-a-Loon Certificate
- A fact sheet on Common Loons and how mercury and lead affect loons
- A Loon Appreciation poster and an 8" x 10" color loon photo.

Wiseman's documentary shot inside a hospital for the criminally insane
Titicut FolliesMoMA The Museum of Modern Art (11 West 53rd Street, New York, NY) Map it $12
Accomplished documentarian Frederick Wiseman's first full-length film found him documenting the inmates at Bridgewater State Hospital, an institution for the criminally insane. The cinema verite project, initially sanctioned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, was later the subject of a court case due to the brutal and shocking portrait it painted of the government-run hospital. After a nearly 25 year ban, the film was finally allowed release in the 1990s. Not for the faint of heart, this important 1967 film screens today as part of the museum's An Auteurist History of Film series.

New saviour for Oxford stadium (From thisisoxfordshire)

New saviour for Oxford stadium
9:00am Monday 10th March 2014 in News By Damian Fantato, Council Reporter, also covering Oxford city centre. Call me on 01865 425429
AN OXFORDSHIRE farmer has come forward as the man behind an attempt to buy Oxford Stadium.
Robert Tyrrell from Steventon has said he has already contacted developer Galliard about buying the Blackbird Leys stadium and has deposited money with a solicitor to try to clinch the deal.
He is being helped in his bid to buy the stadium by Nick Budimir, a friend of football manager Harry Redknapp, who once owned a greyhound with the QPR boss.
And the pair say that capitalising on both the greyhound racing and speedway at the site could both revive the stadium and offer a blueprint for all other struggling greyhound venues in the UK.
Mr Tyrrell, who sits on Steventon Parish Council, declined to say how much he was offering to pay Galliard, but said he had had the stadium in Sandy Lane independently valued.
The farmer – who has owned racehorses for 30 years but has never before been involved in a bid such as this – said: "I got involved in dog training many years ago and I have been thinking about buying the stadium since last summer.
"I was introduced to Nick one day and we suggested we ought to have a chat and we have been talking ever since. "Before Christmas, I was told people didn't know who I am and I ought to come forward but at the time we had a live bid in.
"Now we feel it is time to introduce ourselves."
Last month, millionaire racing track promoter Harry Findlay pulled out of the running to buy the stadium. Greyhound racing at the stadium stopped in December 2012 when owners, the Greyhound Racing Association, said it was no longer financially viable. Since then, developer Galliard has submitted a planning application to build 220 homes on the site.
After Oxford City Council rejected the scheme, Galliard decided to take the issue to a planning appeal which means an independent Government inspector will make a final decision. Brook Adler, Mr Tyrrell's accountant, said the pair had submitted several bids for the stadium already.
But he said the best chance of buying it would be if and when the inspector decides in their favour. "When planning permission is turned down, then I think Galliard will make a decision and put this site on the market because they will be looking to get the best possible price for it," he said.
"Then Robert will make an offer. "If it was the case that planning permission was granted, then we would not be in the frame because we have no interest in redeveloping this site for residential use."
In 2003, Mr Tyrrell was given community service and told to pay compensation after ramming a farm vehicle into his North Star pub in Steventon after being refused service.
Mr Findlay pulled out of the running to buy the stadium because he did not think his plans were sustainable. But Mr Budimir, who said he has been in greyhound racing for around 30 years, said the stadium could be viable because of the wide range of activities that go on there. He said: "The stadium is part of the heritage of Oxford.
"Everyone says greyhound racing is struggling and speedway is struggling, but if you put them all together they are the components of a world-class product.
"There is so much support for this stadium. "We know we can put all these components together.
"It is not fantasy land – this is actual fact. "I honestly believe that this stadium could not only be viable, but a blueprint for every other greyhound track in the country."
He has also recruited Mr Redknapp into the battle for Oxford Stadium and the former Tottenham Hotspur manager, whose dog, Ballymac Charley, won the Oxford Pall Mall in 2007, has submitted a letter for the planning inspector.
Mr Redknapp said: "The outstanding memory I have of that night was the warmth and kindness of the Oxford people.
"I must have shaken hands and was congratulated by half the stadium and signed an autograph for the other half. Great times. And I do sincerely hope they return soon."
Former Oxford Stadium promotions manager Mick Wheble said: "Bob Tyrrell has been a greyhound owner and supporter for many years and having him as a potential bidder is great because he knows greyhound racing and knows the stadium.
"There is probably no-one better to buy it.
"There are two other substantial bidders looking to buy it as soon as the inquiry is over and it dispels the myth that the stadium is not profitable."
A planning inquiry is expected to be held in Oxford in early summer, but a final date has not yet been set.
Galliard did not comment.

As the owner of two rescued greyhounds and someone who is very well acquainted with the independent rescues that struggle to rehome all the abandoned and retired greyhounds, I can speak quite literally from experience.
I am not at all surprised that Robert Tyrrell has no qualms about greyhound racing though, as he managed 30 years in the racehorse industry without recognising the pitiful welfare issues linked to yet another abusive and exploitative so called sport. It's all about the money and never about the living, breathing animals that he sees as commodities. Shame on him and all those who see this as acceptable.

bishbosh wrote:@bishbosh. If I had a pound for every time my views on greyhound racing were sidetracked by going off topic I would be truly rich. For your information I do not eat meat. I am always happy to discuss my views on the meat trade, however I feel this is not the place for that particular discussion.
@pollypenny...wow!!. What about the millions of cattle, sheep,chickens and swine that never see maturity because we are a nation of meat lovers. Exploitation in the name of profit. I take it you and your pet greyhounds are vegetarians or nut eaters.
If you would like to respond to my points on using animals for sport then I will be happy oblige here.

I will take your points one at a time and start with your comment "Greyhounds are sporting dogs and the vast majority love to race each other". This is a statement I have heard more times than I care to remember, so allow me to enlighten you. Greyhounds are an ancient hunting breed that have been around since before the middle ages, and racing has only existed in its commercial form in the UK since 1926 - hardly a long tradition. They love to chase prey and also to run for sheer pleasure, this is undeniable. However, we have chosen to exploit that skill and turn it into something far more sinister, The racing industry from the moment a greyhound is born into it is flawed. Firstly, in order to obtain the fasted dogs over breeding takes place, It is impossible for it not to. With over breeding comes failures and excess dogs. What do your think happens to these dogs? If they make the grade they are raced on tracks that are deliberately configured to make it more exciting for the spectator and ultimately more dangerous for the dogs. That first bend is responsible for many injuries and premature deaths. Also, once gambling is involved, as with any sport, with it comes corruption and drug abuse. If the dog makes it to retirement alive it is then faced with the rehoming issue. One which many trainers have no care for whatsoever. I could tell you many a tale (first hand) or the total disregard trainers have to the dog's future after racing.
I could go far deeper into all the negative aspects of racing, but to keep it short and to the point, while there is racing there will be abuse, neglect, abandonment, over breeding, avoidable injuries and premature death. There will continue to be rescue centres bursting at the seems with retired greyhounds and non racers. There simply aren't enough homes for them all.
So when you say I should 'work with those that care within the sport', please tell me how any caring person would even want to be remotely involved in a 'sport' that is responsible for the points mentioned above? It is irrelevant how well you treat the dog you race, you are still putting the dog at risk each time it races and supporting a self regulated, gambling industry which has not a single good point about it for the dogs.

In an ideal world no one would be poor or starving. Every Greyhound that is born would live a healthy and fruitful life. No animal would be killed before maturity...only those that died from natural causes would be used to feed others. Walter the whippet you know only too well I did not say and mean all dogs can retire to "our" sofas and live like kings. As a supporter of Greyhound Racing I would never say there is not a problem with the unscrupulous within the sport that only see a fast buck. Not all are like that and the antis singularly fail to engage with those within the sport who really do care about their dogs. Over the years I have owned four racing greyhounds and I know what happened to every one once they retired. None were put to sleep and it cost me financially which is only right.
Also, you state to know what happened to all of your 4 racing dogs. Why do racing greyhound owners think it is totally acceptable to expect others to rehome their dogs once they have made their money out of them? Do you think that there is a never ending supply of homes just waiting to take your discarded dogs? Have you any idea how many are killed because of this industry and the lack of retirement homes? Do you ave any idea how hard the rescues work to take the discarded dogs and find them homes? You also seem to think that because you knew where your dogs went that makes you caring. Caring is looking after your dog until it's natural death and not putting it at risk of unnecessary injuries along the way or using it for monetary gain. Caring and racing are not words that I could ever put together.
Come and visit my local rescue. Come and witness the despair that the lady who runs it is constantly in because of this industry. Come and see the state of the dogs when they arrive.
I have tried so many times to "engage with those within the sport", but not one has been able to justify it, not one.

I regularly engage with pro racers in collecting dogs to go to independent rescues ..I agree there is variation in the standards of welfare applied however care for an animal does not include putting that animal at risk of serious injury on dangerously configured tracks
While you sound well intentioned Bishbosh ..if you cared for a dog how can you justify the risk of your dog being another Rotar Wing for example ??? Please don't tell me it's an isolated incident .. Not while the freezers at the stadiums are working as the GBGB rules require in the regs.. rule 110B (j)

bishbosh wrote:bishbosh there is nothing 'extreme' about wanting no harm to come to animals, especially when it is for no other purpose than gambling and entertainment. Do you also think using animals in circuses is acceptable as long as they are 'looked after'?
I can see you both care and deeply. Walter... not every greyhound is mistreated. Many love what they do as do the owners and trainers. You are extreme in your views and would want all to believe there is no good in Greyhound Racing. I will never share your view. Polly... I can read Wikipedia but thank you for the enlightenment.. The greyhound racing industry employs thousands. Today at Cheltenham a horse broke its back and was destroyed in front of thousands. That I take it is a reason to ban a multi billion pound sport worldwide..because that animal was being exploited. There is none so blind that cannot see both sides of the argument. I am happy to concede there are unscrupulous people within Greyhound Racing that need sorting out. I sensed your glee in pouncing upon that statement but the anti attitude does nothing to improve the situation. Banning racing is not the answer..
You have not given me one valid reason for keeping greyhound (or horse racing) a legal sport, apart from money. Why on earth should money be a satisfactory reason for exploitation, injury, abandonment and death?
If you think nothing of a horse breaking it's back today for no other reason than for our entertainment and gambling desires, then you are never going to understand my views. Animals should not be ours to use and abuse, but clearly you believe they should be. You miss the point totally, as every pro racer I've ever discussed racing with has. You avoid all the important issues and simply choose not to answer any of the questions that I have put to you.
If banning racing is not the answer please tell me what is? And please be sure to cover all the following points in your answer - over breeding, injuries, what to do with non chasers and retired racers, drug abuse, 23 hours locked muzzled in kennels, the legal use of the captive bolt gun, self regulation of the GBGB and the IGB. I eagerly await your ideas on how all this can be resolved. Trust me, it can all be resolved by banning it, as they have in 28 states in the USA. Do you think those 28 states are all extremists too? I've often mused over how one person calls another 'extreme' because they desire compassion for sentient beings.

The term anti is appropriate btw yes I'm anti.. anti cruelty .. Must leave you now have some interesting bedtime reading ..the Deloitte Report findings oh and must raise a glass to the 39 USA states obviously filled with extremists :)
Lets hope Oxford decision makers also have the good sense to invest in much needed housing rather than some half baked desperate plan to prop up this dying industry at the cost of more dogs lives and local people's housing ..

Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg —
Chapter 0813 of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees met June 19 at Ponderosa Steakhouse in Greensburg for its monthly meeting.
President Eva Stone opened the meeting by welcoming those present followed by Kay Hineman leading the group with the Pledge of Allegiance and the invocation.
For the monthly program, Vice President Rita Flack introduced Russell Wilhoit from the Decatur County Historical Society giving a program on some of the Civil War events pertaining to Decatur County. During the Civil War, the area had 12,000 volunteers for the Union Army. Wilhoit noted that many men came from surrounding counties and traveled to Decatur County, as friends enlisted with other friends and family members enlisted with other family members and listed Decatur County as their place of enlistment/residence and, of course, local residents traveling to other areas for enlistment for the same reasons.
The County historian noted the only battle fought in Indiana was near New Albany. The biggest Confederate intrusion into Indiana was Morgan's Raid in the southeastern part of Indiana. Some of MorganÕs men (scouting parties) got to the southern part of Decatur County with the main group advancing only to near North Vernon. From there, they turned back and went to the Ohio River area and followed the river into Ohio. Their goal was to get to Indianapolis as
there was a Confederate prison located around what is now the state fair grounds area.
Wilhoit has accounts of one of the men in Morgan's army that moved to Greensburg after the war.
He has news accounts of a riot in Greensburg between Union and Confederate sympathizers as there was a political rally and arguments got heated. Shots were fired and a couple people were wounded.
Russell offered many other interesting facts pertaining to the Civil War and Decatur County.
One of Wilhoit's many endeavors is to locate and restore grave sites around Decatur County with many having Civil War connections. NARFE members hope Wilhoit will pay us a return visit with a program on his searches and restorations and they thanked him for a very entertaining program.
President Stone followed with a business meeting with the secretary's report being read and approved followed by other office and committee reports.
Birthday of Joan Fix was acknowledged.
Attendance prize was won by Lillian Jones. Guests included Sue Woolman, wife of Steve Woolman, and Diana Leising, wife of Harold Leising.
The next meeting will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday, July 17 at Ponderosa Steakhouse in Greensburg with optional lunch following the meeting.
If you are a retired federal employee or currently an active employee and have an interest in attending the chapter meetings, join NARFE at the next meeting.

Pitch 1: Start at the base of the left facing crack system on the left side of the Duet Buttress. Climb moderate handcracks until the wall steepens then smear and layback up the blocky crack system (crux). Belay at the base of the enormous left facing corner of Duet Direct on fixed nuts/hexes. 100 feet 5.7
Approach as for WGR but when the talus field is reached head straight up towards the cliff past cairns. The climb starts near the left side of the Duet Buttress at an obvious left-facing crack system.
Standard rack to 3 inches. The second pitch could eat cams up to 6 inches but smaller options are available. A #3 is helpful for the final pitch above the downclimb.

This ball looks and feels like almost real ball and it is much helpful on practicing even at home
Bjohnson from Rocklin, CA | 6/8/2014 2:37 PM
I have purchased a couple of these over the last couple of years. Really like them for practicing your chipping/pitching stroke in the backyard or in the house. Really helps to improve more consistent ball contact but still have to work on distance control.
Jeremy S. from Boise, ID | 2/6/2014 10:53 AM
I set up a hitting station in my garage to practice my swing while it's still too miserable winter weather to hit balls outside. These practice balls have a great feel on contact and provide you useful feedback - push, draw, fade, etc. They also work well for indoor use as I use them in that they immediately die when contacting the net so I don't have to worry about putting a ball through drywall or potential damage to any surrounding objects.
Mark Bateman from Alton, IL | 2/6/2014 10:45 AM
I use the point3's inside my garage in the winter during inclement weather. I have a 10 x 10 hitting net to hit into and these balls give great feedback on the face contact and ball flight without using a real ball. Great product, durable. Will be purchasing more in the future.
darnoldil from Bolingbrook, IL | 5/5/2013 4:15 PM
Per the other reviewer, these balls are designed to travel roughly 1/3 the distance that your shot would have gone. They do lose distance as they get beat up through use and age however. Btw, hitting over two houses is more like 60 yards for the average 3000sqft home in the suburbs of Chicagoland, so that would have been more like 160-180 yards depending on spin characteristics and weather for a real ball.

GOAL: Millions of people visit the thermal features in the front country of Yellowstone each year. Few know them well. This site aims to help more people become familiar with these amazing wonders.
WHO CREATED THIS: This site is a part of SnowMoon, LLC – owned by Mike & Janet White. We welcome any and all feedback. Janet has been visiting Yellowstone since she was two and has spent nearly the last decade learning more about the geysers and hot springs that captured her heart long ago. This site is not affiliated with the National Park Service.
FRONT COUNTRY FOCUS: There's so much we don't yet know about geysers, hot springs and other thermal features you see while on the boardwalks and front country trails and roads. Records are scarce except for the past few decades. Focusing on the most visited features just makes good sense.
Your observations are valuable to piece together the puzzle the geysers and hot springs present. A notebook, a pen or pencil and a watch are about all you need to help. Tell us what you see. You can enter your observations at GeyserTimes.org or Geysers.net/mobile (Geyser Notebook is free for the Android). If you want to submit a guest blog post here, email Janet.

Hello,Sponsored Links
I'm new to all this stuff, but can anyone please tell me where I can find a tutorial to copy PS3 games to a HDD and play them on my PS3.

Hello,Sponsored Links
I'm new to all this stuff, but can anyone please tell me where I can find a tutorial to copy PS3 games to a HDD and play them on my PS3.
What kind of programs do I need?
Thx in advance
People need to use the search function before asking a question, that is what it is there for, because in a community this large someone will have already thought of and asked your question, sometimes with answers to that question.Sponsored Links
You will need to search the forums, there is already a ps3 tutorial section with every tutorial that is possible on the ps3.
I could just answer your question but then you wont learn how to find these things out for yourself, so im just gonna recommend you to here http://www.ps3news.com/forums/ps3-guides-tutorials/
Hi,Sponsored Links
if you would able to do what you wish to do... you wouldn't need this board to get an answer.
Short form: You can't
lol yeh that is the short answer, but I cant stand people creating a new thread everytime they want to ask a question that has been asked a million times before.
They need to learn to use the search function, its how I and im sure alot of others out there get their information before posting something
Not always convenient even tho it is ideal. Its not like this particular forum is dying of over posting anyway
Can allow some cases and i still feel some tutorials here arent perfect. Take the 360 flashing guides for example; i have had to search all over the web to find the info i need and possible variations and "what if" situations werent covered here.
To the thread starter you cant play the games but you can rip them to a hdd as far as i know
Last edited by semitope; 07-08-2009 at 07:42 PM
Wow - good job i'm not moderating anymore else it would have been an instant delete!
Probably a ban from the boss too - but he seems to have mellowed out in his old age
Nothing to add - just felt like a post.
then tell me please how to dump a game on HDD and play it from there... on a retail unit of course!
Agreed and +Rep!
Blame it on my crazy schedule.. lately I miss all the "fun" here it seems, as when I'm online things are usually quite relaxed (aka boring!)
I am going to move this to the Newbie section though, as this area is for PS3 Hacks and Projects, and this certainly doesn't fit into that category.

Business in brief
The new location combining the Toys 'R Us and Babies 'R Us brands will hold its grand opening Friday, Oct. 12 at 11801 W. Broad St. Giveaways, discounts, kid-friendly activities and visits from popular costumed characters will continue throughout the weekend, Oct. 12-14. In conjunction with the grand opening, the Toys 'R Us Children's Fund has awarded a $10,000 grant to Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia to support wish fulfillment in Richmond-area communities.
The Virginia Water Well Association (VWWA) recently donated a new water well to the ACE (Another Chance to Excel) Program. When ACE approached Curtis Drilling about the cost of a well for ACE's Urban Garden Program, owner Curtis Bordewyk decided to nominate ACE as the potential recipient of a new well gifted during the VWWA's Annual Training Day Event. The training day is designed to help the men and women engaged in the water well construction industry meet the challenges of the ever-changing technology used in well construction. On Sept. 28, at the Creighton Road campus of St. Paul's Baptist Church, 150 student drillers received instruction on well drilling and pump testing. VWWA then gifted the well, used in its demonstration, to ACE. The ACE Program is an organization that aids ex-offenders and disadvantaged youth with their transition back into the community.
On Saturday, Oct. 6, participating Southern States locations will offer specially marked "pink" items for sale, with a portion of the proceeds going to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Use the store locator at http://www.southerstates.com to find a participating location.

Journey to mediocrity
'The Hundred-Foot Journey' fails to capitalize on tasty concept
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a curious little Romeo and Juliet of a film. A family, forced out of their native India, begins a trek across Europe.
The family's sole mode of transportation sputters and dies in a sleepy little French town, but the town's food culture is high, and that's a perfect place for a family of restaurateurs to settle down. There's only one problem – the family's rustic "Maison Mumbai" is right across the street (a hundred feet away, if the title didn't clue you in) from a prestigious French bistro with a Michelin star, run with an iron fist by the dreaded Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren, pictured).
It's here that a particular Romeo and Juliet story begins to develop, with Hassan (Manish Dayal) on the Indian side and Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) on the French side. > Read more.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

What does it take to get on the front of one of Brighton and Hove's buses?
Updated 1:45pm Tuesday 7th January 2014 in News By John Keenan
Where else but in Brighton and Hove would you expect Virginia Woolf to cross paths with Sir Norman Wisdom or King Charles II to come face to face with Cardinal Newman?
The names adorning the front of the Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company's fleet are a vivid reminder of the city's rich history.
The scheme was the brainchild of the company's operations director Paul Williams.
He first suggested naming the buses after prominent landmarks but this evolved into honouring the people who have made the area so vibrant and varied.
After all, you wouldn't want to jump on a bus with Devil's Dyke on the front, only to find it actually took you Saltdean Lido.
The main criterion for inclusion in this roll of fame is a slightly mournful one – you have to be dead for at least a year.
Two, happily living exceptions to this rule include The Argus columnist Adam Trimingham, honoured for his outstanding work in researching the background history for the company, and Roger French who received the honour, for a limited time, on his retirement in 2012.
Last year more than 30 names were added to the fleet. BBC broadcaster and Fleet Street editor Derek Jameson was added to the Number 5 bus route in November.
The East End boy who rose to the top of his chosen profession lived for many years in Western Esplanade in Hove – know as Millionaire's Row.
He kept his hand in the journalist trade, writing regularly for The Argus.
He began work in Fleet Street as a messenger boy at the age of 14 and rose through the ranks to edit some of Britain's biggest newspapers.
He developed a reputation as a builder of circulation and, asked to launch the Daily Star – the first new national tabloid for 75 years – he took it to more than a million copies within a year.
He also put on half a million readers at the Daily Express.
At his funeral in Worthing, his widow Ellen said: "He was an incredible character, I never forgot Derek was an extraordinary man and a one-off. He was the perfect example of a man who lived life to the full."
Also honoured last year was Jeff Keen, a groundbreaking film maker and artist who worked for many years |as a landscape gardener with Brighton Council.
Recent retrospectives of his work at the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery and at the Tate in London revealed a startling, dramatic and often funny talent.
His obituary in The Guardian newspaper noted: "Keen's interest in myth, surrealism and romantic painting complemented his love of movies and comics, and he continually absorbed new references into his work.
"His highly frenetic videos of the 1990s included homages to Apocalypse Now, Rambo and Predator as well as Budd Boetticher westerns...
"The extreme, short edits in his playful, visceral films have helped to keep his work fresh and alive; they still zap with energy decades later."
In June, the name of Maggie King was added to the Number 5 fleet.
A regular contributor to The Argus letters page, Maggie King was an indomitable presence in the Brighton tenants movement.
She was a lifelong member and senior representative of the GMB union and a tenant representative on Brighton and Hove City Council.
She also fostered sick children, supported a number of local charities, including Brighton Lions, and worked with the East Sussex Credit Union.
Mrs King worked at Bevendean Hospital and Brighton General Hospital before becoming a qualified clinical tutor.
Following her death in 2011, family and friends joined the then-Brighton and Hove mayor Anne Meadows and ward councillor Geoffrey Bowden at a tree planting in her honour at the peace park in Dorset Gardens, Brighton.
A railway enthusiast who preserved one of the country's best-loved heritage lines was also among those to have bus named in their memory this year.
Bluebell Railway founder Bernard Holden died last year aged 104, weeks before his project to restore the Sheffield Park to East Grinstead line saw a successful conclusion.
Mr Holden's grandson Jim described it as a "huge honour". He said: "It was a really pleasant surprise, we're all bowled over. He would have been delighted."
Mr Holden, who was born in Barcombe station in 1908, worked on the railways all his life – including a stint in India during the war. In the 1950s he started work on restoring the line between Sheffield Park and Horsted Keynes and so the Bluebell Railway was born.
Over the past half a century the line has been enjoyed by hundreds of thou- sands, with 700 volunteers currently on the books.
Alan Randall, who is best known for founding sports centre Yellowave, was also chosen this year.
After retiring from the head of hospitals in Worthing and Eastbourne, Mr Randall set up Yellowave beach and sports centre in Madeira Drive, Brighton.
Mr Randall joined Brighton Health Authority before becoming chief executive of the trust running Worthing Hospital and Southlands Hospital in Shoreham.
During his time, he oversaw a multi-million pound rebuild at Worthing. His final posting was at Eastbourne where the NHS asked him to carry out improvements before he retired.
He founded Yellowave in 2007 with his daughter Katie and son-in-law Spencer Mintram.
Among other names appearing on the front of the city's buses lastyear were former mayor of Peacehaven, Chris Ogden, trade unionist George Haines, and David Watkin, best-known for the opening sequence of the films Chariots of Fire and the Oscar-winning movie Out of Africa.

From the City of Joplin
With the 2012 mowing season now in full force, many vacant lots and unoccupied homes in the tornado-affected area of Joplin are in need of maintenance. Residents in the EDR area who are living back in their homes or have received a permit to repair or rebuild their home are required to follow existing mowing regulations, which limit grass or weeds to no more than 12" high. Residents who are not at that point in their recovery but are able to maintain their lot or hire someone are encouraged to do so. But for those residents who have not yet received a permit to repair or rebuild their home and lack the necessary means to maintain their lot, the City of Joplin is offering mowing assistance at no cost to them. This assistance is being offered for the 2012 mowing season only.
Starting this week, city crews will begin mowing any properties in the tornado-affected area with grass or weeds in excess of 12" high, under authorization granted by existing city ordinance. This first cutting will be performed at no charge to the property owner. During this time, property owners who lack the means to maintain their lot on their own or hire someone to do so will be able to sign a valid Right-of-Entry form that will grant access to the property for city staff, volunteers or work crews to maintain the lot.
Property owners who wish to participate in the mowing assistance program have until 5:00 p.m. on May 18, 2012, to sign a Right-of-Entry form to allow for mowing assistance following the initial cutting. These forms are available on the fourth floor of City Hall, 602 S. Main Street. As long as a valid ROE form is signed, there will be no charge to participate in this program, which will continue until either the property owner can resume maintenance responsibilities or until the end of the 2012 mowing season, whichever comes first.
After May 18th, property owners who have not signed the ROE form will be required to maintain their lot on their own or hire someone to maintain it, regardless of whether or not they have applied for a permit to repair or rebuild their home. Failure to sign the ROE form will subject them to current code enforcement regulations, which will include a charge for work performed by the city on lots with grass in excess of 12" high.
Said City Manager Mark Rohr, "One of the reasons why our community has been so successful in our recovery efforts is because of our common sense approach and willingness to help each other through the challenges we've faced. As volunteers, dignitaries and the media return to Joplin around the one-year anniversary, we would ask residents to continue to do their part in welcoming our guests with a warm smile, heart-felt thanks, and a well-maintained yard, which all help to present our city in the best possible light."

Who Is the Pleasanton Weekly Supporting Between Stark & Swalwell
Original post made by Dave on Oct 13, 2012
I see that the Pleasanton Weekly has come out on who they support for local offices, however have not seen where they have made any statements about who they support between Stark & Swalwell. I'm curious to see who and why. Can we expect something from them prior to the election?

PEORIA, Ill. -- A 30-year-old Peoria man is dead Wednesday after a shooting at the Landmark Apartment complex.
Police have arrested three men for the crime. Two of the men are known Zone 4 gang members targeted by the city's anti-crime program Don't Shoot.
Police said the shooting stemmed from a drug deal and robbery in broad daylight on Peoria's Southside Wednesday morning.
Within an hour Justin Thompson was pronounced dead from multiple gunshot wounds and the suspects were in custody.
Police said witnesses lead them to the apartment where they arrested 21-year-olds Denzell Gayton, Orlando Mathews and Duane Simmons.
Police said they also found five guns, including the murder weapon,marijuana and cocaine in that apartment.
A fresh coating of snow, freezing temperatures and broad daylight. Those three things usually prevent crime, but not Wednesday. Now a family is grieving and police are trying to make sense of the crime.
"To have his life taken by someone who didn't give it makes me angry. I'm not going to lie," said Jasmyne Providence, the victim's sister.
Providence lost her younger brother Justin Thompson Wednesday after he was shot multiple times in the chest. She thinks he got caught in a situation that didn't concern him.
"For him to just be coming out of a house and going back into a house and getting shot, that doesn't seem right. That was no drug deal," said Providence.
Police say drugs contributed to the shooting and witnesses helped them solve the murder in less than an hour.
"We received several phone calls, we had witnesses approach us while we were at the scene, the officers were quick to respond to the scene and we were able to shut the area down quickly," said Capt. Mike Eddleman, Peoria Police Department.
The police chief says the arrests prove the Don't Shoot program is targeting the right people.
"The individuals who were at the call-in were picked because we thought they represented the most dangerous gang and gang members in the city," said Chief Steve Settingsgaard. "It's an indication we had the right people in the room."
Providence just hopes her brother didn't die in vain.
"I'm going to miss him a whole lot and our family is going to miss him. I just hope that lessons are learned," she said.

A debit card stolen from a vehicle parked in a garage led police to stores where the card was used and surveillance pictures of the suspect.
The suspect entered the garage of the apartment home at 21150 N. Tatum Blvd. sometime between 5 p.m. April 29 to 5:45 a.m. April 30, said Phoenix police Officer James Holmes.
Besides taking the debit card, the suspect also removed a laptop computer from the car.
The victim told police the suspect had used the debit card at several local businesses, Holmes said. Detectives visited those businesses and were able to obtain surveillance video of the suspect.
The victim's laptop computer contained personal information.
Officers ask that anyone who might recognize the suspect to call Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS or Crime Stop at 602-262-6151.
