3,000-plus page report provides insight into Greenland tragedy
Saturday, December 15, 2012
CONCORD — A State Police investigation into the fatal drug raid in Greenland spanning more than 3,000 pages has been released to the public, providing a new window into the harrowing events of the day.
Through the course of an undercover investigation that lasted months, Mutrie, 29, and his girlfriend, Brittany Tibbetts, were identified by DTF investigators as suspects in the sale of oxycodone and anabolic steroids. A confidential informant allegedly purchased narcotics from Tibbetts inside Mutrie's home at 517 Post Road in Greenland.
Early in the investigation into Mutrie, the leader of the Seacoast DTF team met with a commander from the Seacoast Emergency Response Team. SERT is a tactical group that responds in local communities during tense police situations, often those that involve barricaded subjects.
The drug search
About 30 minutes before the appointed hour, a team of DTF officers met with uniformed officers from Greenland to prepare for the drug raid.
They parked on the side of the road, out of view. Maloney arrived in his own marked police cruiser, and also parked on the side of the road.
Five of the DTF members exited the van, and another DTF member arrived in a sedan. They met up and approached the porch, forming a "stack" — a tactical formation to prepare to enter with a battering ram.
'Shots fired'
Newton Detective Christopher Thurlow, who recently returned to the Drug Task Force after a tour of duty in Afghanistan, was in the middle of the stack when the shooting began.
Four of the six DTF officers went down. Thurlow moved out of the way and began firing back, moving right and angling his gunshots through the narrow doorway. It was Thurlow's return fire that "likely could have driven Mutrie away from the center of the door," giving the injured officers time to escape, Delaney said.
Standoff ensues
After Maloney was shot, the officers on scene became pinned downed in the front yard, taking cover behind vehicles. Maloney was finally evacuated from the scene at about 7:06 p.m. in an armored vehicle provided by SERT. He was taken to Portsmouth Regional Hospital by a Rye ambulance team.
Mutrie also contacted Shane Bateman, a friend and Hampton Falls firefighter. Bateman told police Mutrie admitted that he "may have shot" two police officers. It remains unclear whether Mutrie was talking about shooting officers during the initial engagement at his front door, or during the killing of Maloney.
Weapons tested
Two guns were recovered at the scene — the 9 mm semiautomatic pistol and a .357 revolver. Investigators say Mutrie fired the .357 during the opening volley on the porch. As evidence, investigators say a bullet that struck Murphy was recovered, tested, and found to be a match for the gun.
Cullen Mutrie is believed to have fired two rounds from the 9 mm through the basement window, including the one that struck Maloney. Another round from the 9mm fatally wounded Tibbetts. The final bullet killed Mutrie.
Although there was a camera found on Mutrie's porch, police have found no evidence that it was recording anything. They searched computers found inside Mutrie's home for recordings of the April 12 drug raid, but found none. They have been unable to find evidence of any surveillance software on the computers.

- Extraordinary! Review by BeckyB
Quality Price Value
At 43 I had resigned myself to large pores. I've used DD's glycolic cleansers, picture porefect and ain't misbehaving for a long time with good results but this toner pushed me into PERFECT skin within 2 days. Absolutely astonishing. Pricey but worth every cent. It has totally changed my self-image. Thanks!
- Works wonders! Review by R
Value Quality Price
I love this product. My skin is visabily smoother and softer. I have very sensitive skin but this product does not irritate me. The best part is that it cleared up blemishes, blackheads and redness and then stopped them from coming back. Definitely worth the price since it lasts so long and actually works! So far im not halfway through one bottle and ive used it daily for two months.
- Helps control milia without overdrying Review by Candace C
Value Quality Price
I am using this product for the milia that I have had all my life, but recently it seems they've gotten worse on my face. They used to be on my upper arms. I wash my face religiously night and morning and use various products for moisturizing that are not heavy or greasy. I think this toner is helping. Regardless of which cleanser I use, I always finish with this toner, and it never leaves my face feeling striped or tight. I've only been using it for a couple of months, but I think it's helping. BTW, I'm 68, so it isn't acne or other conditions associated with puberty or youth.
- Love it Review by Mbrewer

I am 30 and still have breakouts. This product is a relief. It has helped control and clear my breakouts in a matter of days. Worth the price!!
- Awesome product Review by stacy
Price Value Quality
I have been using this toner for at least six months and I am still in love. Other products in the past have dried out my skin but I have never had that issue with the Litmus Test replenishing toner. This is a great alternative for adults dealing with hormonal breakouts. I use this in combination with Ain't miss behaving acne serum and the Litmus Test face lotion. What a great combination of products! It may seem pricey but it is well work the money. I also wash my face twice a day religiously and it lasts well over two months.

China: web mobilises to help Sichuan earthquake victims
Chinese web users mobilise support for victims of the earthquake in Sichuan province. Also, Dove's latest viral campaign gets a mixed reaction. And a Spanish artist comes up with an astonishing instrument.
China: web mobilizes to help Sichuan earthquake victims
"Over 500 people with no water, food or shelter", this appeal for help was posted to social networks by a web user who went to visit the epicenter of the deadly earthquake that hit Sichuan province in south western China on Saturday.
Chinese web users started mobilizing support for victims just moments after the disaster struck, with many netizens relaying accounts published by people living in the region's remotest areas, to ensure the emergency services could reach them as soon as possible.
And to avoid any delays, many netizens have been urging motorists not to use the motorway that connects the provincial capital Chengdu to the town of Ya'an, near to the epicenter of the earthquake. Web users have dubbed this route "the road to life".
Others have volunteered their services to relief operations. Prominent blogger Li Chengpeng, who had offered his help back in 2008 when another powerful quake hit the region, has put together a response team with financial and logistical help from web users.
A lot of people in China have already said they will not be donating money to the Red Cross Society of China. Over the past few years, the government linked organization has in fact been implicated in several corruption scandals. This blogger says if it wants to regain people's trust then it must now be exemplary in how it deploys its resources.
Praise and criticism for Dove's latest viral campaign
Personal care brand Dove has launched a new online ad campaign promising women "You're more beautiful than you think"; the campaign centers around this video which shows a forensic artist drawing pictures of women based solely on how they describe themselves; he cannot see them. He then draws a second portrait based on a description provided by a perfect stranger they met for a short period of time a few moments prior. The results are striking because every time the self-described portraits are uglier, sadder, than the ones described by strangers, showing women are too often their own worst critics.
The aim of the campaign is to encourage women not to be so hard on themselves, and it has definitely stirred up reactions from the online community. The video has now been viewed by over 13 million web users and many have taken to social networks to applaud the message conveyed by Dove and what they deem to be a caring, compassionate campaign.
But not everyone has reacted so positively. Some web users feel it's full of stereotypes and focusses too much on the perception of beauty, when there's so much more to a woman than her physical appearance. Others have slammed the choice of women used in the clip: saying it lacks diversity as the majority of women featured appear to be white, slim and under 40 years old.
And finally some have also been criticizing the fact the campaign is geared solely towards women, without a second thought for men. And so the makers of this video have voiced their criticism in a parody of the original Dove ad; this one features men, who appear to think they are way better looking than women do…
Seven billion people visualized on a single web page
This graphic makes it easier for us to visualize 7 billion people, with a stick figure representing every single person in the whole world, colour coded according to which continent they come from, and it's all on the same web page… you can check out the chart on the site 7billionworld, if printed out the page would be 1,6 km long by 250 meters wide...
Prankster swaps UK commuters' heads with newspaper pics
One web user in the UK has been playing pranks on commuters in the capital, by carefully folding British dailies, so the faces line up with their bodies. The resulting pics are then posted online. The hilarious head swapping photos have become an Internet sensation, and are a definite must-see.
Video of the day
Spanish artist Xavi Lozano makes musical instruments from everyday objects, and as we can see here turned a metal security fence into a flute. It's not the easiest instrument to carry around by it's pretty astonishing, and pleasant sounding, and you can get a better look in this video which is currently doing the rounds on sharing sites.

The Democrats and Republicans may be worlds apart on most things, but at their headquarters just two blocks away from each other on Capitol Hill, each is confronting the same question: Have political parties lost their purpose?
In the wake of two presidential defeats, the Republican National Committee on Monday unveiled what it is calling its Growth and Opportunity Project, which is an effort to take the existing party engine and give it a top-to-bottom tuneup.
"There's no one reason we lost. Our message was weak; our ground game was insufficient; we weren't inclusive; we were behind in both data and digital; and our primary and debate process needed improvement," RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said Monday. "So, there's no one solution. There's a long list of them."
The solutions include a $10 million effort to better connect with minority communities, moving up the 2016 convention to as early as June so that the party nominee can tap general-election funding earlier, and limiting the number of primary debates to 10 or 12, rather than the nearly two dozen that took place in 2012.
The report also recommends outsourcing to "friends and allies" at least some of the responsibilities that used to be considered the party's job. They include recruiting minority and women candidates, training grass-roots activists, registering voters and gathering and analyzing data.
Even the winning side of last year's presidential election has been doing some reexamination.
This past week has seen President Obama's old campaign operation relaunching itself as Organizing for Action, building a new political machine outside the Democratic National Committee and causing some quiet consternation among party traditionalists.
After Obama's first election, his campaign operation, then known as Obama for America, decamped to the DNC. But that, as the president acknowledged last week, turned out to be a disappointment, when it proved unable to re-create its magic for the 2010 midterm elections.
"What we don't want to do is repeat the mistake I think that I believe in 2008 we made, where some of that energy just kind of dissipated and we were only playing an inside game," Obama told a dinner gathering of about 75 big donors to the new endeavor, a comment that rankled some at party headquarters.
Though some Democrats fear that OFA will be competing with party organizations for resources, its officials insist that the new operation is designed not to win elections, but to ensure the success of Obama's agenda. They add that the president is committed to ensuring the party's success in 2014, including assisting with its fundraising.
Political parties are nearly as old as the republic itself, performing the basic roles of putting forward candidates for election, explaining their philosophy and then organizing people to vote for them.
But old tools such as patronage jobs do not provide as much influence in a mass-media era in which fewer Americans claim a party label. For the past two years, the Gallup organization has reported a record 40 percent of Americans identifying themselves as independent.
"Parties have to continue to redefine themselves to be relevant to the future," said Jim Messina, Obama's 2012 campaign manager and head of the new OFA operation.
The decline of the parties and their battle to remain relevant are forces that academics and journalists have been chronicling for more than half a century. As far back as 1972, the late Washington Post reporter David Broder wrote a book titled "The Party's Over: The Failure of Politics in America."
"In the political science field, scholars have had a hard time defining a political party for a very, very long time," said Daniel J. Galvin, a Northwestern University professor who wrote a 2010 book on the sometimes-fraught relationship between presidents and their party organizations.
But for many of those years, the concern was that the parties were too much alike and philosophically undefined.
For instance, if you said the word "Democrat" in the 1950s, you might be describing a Southern segregationist or a left-wing Northeasterner. Republicans for decades were united primarily by their views on economic issues, tolerating a broad range of opinion on the social ones and on national security.
Now, the opposite is true. Party labels have become a shorthand for a rigid ideological dividing line — Democrats to the left, and Republicans to the right.
And the clout of the parties has receded even more quickly in recent years, thanks to the 2002 McCain-Feingold campaign finance law that cut off their access to unregulated contributions known as "soft money," and the Supreme Court's 2010 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which opened up the spigot for fund to flow to outside groups.
"The law isn't the explanation for the weaknesses of the parties, but the law has accelerated their struggles," said one top Democratic National Committee official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject.
Political parties increasingly are being outmatched in resources and organization by special-interest groups or those, such as the tea party, devoted more to furthering a cause than achieving electoral victory.
As a result, the parties are no longer as able as they once were to protect their incumbents from ideologically-driven primary challenges, to define their messages or even to keep up with technology.
Last year, for instance, the parties spent a total of $228 million on independent efforts to boost their candidates, primarily with ads. That was well under half the $631 million spent by the so-called "super PACs" that have sprung up since the Citizens United decision, according to figures compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.
Under the current campaign finance system, "it makes it very difficult for the parties to command both the ideological fervor and the money they rely on to deliver a reliable set of services," former DNC chairman Howard Dean said. He added that he could even foresee a day, somewhere down the line, where "the parties will dissolve."
The limits on party resources have also produced tension within the parties. Dean, for instance, had tried to pour money he had into a "50-state strategy" to build state political operations across the map in advance of the 2006 midterm elections. That sparked a feud with Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., then chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, who wanted the money to go toward winning seats in swing congressional districts.
There remain, of course, some roles that only a national political party can play. Chief among them is running the process by which a presidential nominee is chosen. But even that has become harder to do.
In the 2012 campaign, for instance, Florida created havoc with the GOP campaign calendar by disregarding the national party dictates and moving its primary up into January.
More significantly, the bitter primary dragged on longer than it might have in earlier years. Billionaire benefactors kept the campaigns of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., and former Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., on life support well after they would otherwise have folded.
"A long and blistering primary, where people are attacking one another and where the attacks sometimes are not on the mark but are creating an — you know, unfavorable impression — those things are not helpful," the ultimate GOP nominee, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, told Fox News this month.
It has become impossible to rein in those outside forces and the millions they spend, but the RNC is hoping to do a better job of coordinating them. Even that will be a tall order, given the current tensions in the party — for instance, between strategist Karl Rove's super PAC American Crossroads GPS, representing the establishment, and the insurgents of the tea party, along with single-issue groups such as Club for Growth.
At last week's annual Conservative Political Action Conference, the tension between the GOP and movement conservatives was palpable. "The GOP of old has grown stale and moss-covered," declared Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who won CPAC's presidential straw poll.
With their own party in control of the White House, Democrats face a different challenge. As Messina noted, the new OFA operation's goal is something never attempted before: taking the energy generated by a presidential campaign and transferring it to issues.
Harold Ickes, a veteran Democratic operative, predicted that OFA will have its greatest success mobilizing Obama supporters to pressure lawmakers on hot-button questions, such as immigration and possibly gun control. "Whether they can get that same percentage of people to do something on minimum wage, or a fight within the Senate Finance Committee, is a different question," Ickes said.
Over the longer term, the big unknown is what happens to that organization once Obama himself has left the political scene. Will its massive infrastructure transfer somehow to benefit the Democratic Party, or simply dissipate?
Georgetown University government professor Hans Noel said that maybe the time has come to redefine the way people think of a party; not as an organization but "as an informal set of actors who try to coordinate to win office or enact policy."
Still, stronger parties might help unlock the gridlock in Washington, if only to help their candidates get reelected by an increasingly disillusioned public, Noel argued. "They might be more interested in trying to accomplish things. They would rein in their extremists."

Cursed Queen of Angmar, The
35. Survivors
For a long time Ariashal sat alone, her embroidery dangling listlessly from her hand. Herumor's recollections of those horrific days were almost too awful to bear; and she was only hearing them recounted, not facing Sauron herself.
The strange nightmares she had had, the visions of her beloved husband being tortured in the most extreme manner possible, had not, after all, been fantasies and delusions. No, they had been real, all too real, and far more ghastly than she had imagined. The King had told her, many times, that he had endured more than anyone was capable of meting out. She had assumed it was something he had said as a way for him to soothe and allay her fears. Now, she knew, it was not. There was, indeed, little that he had not survived.
If only there was a way, some small way, for her to erase some of the pain and horror of his enslavement! She would gladly trade kisses for lashings, if it meant he felt some measure of relief. She would take his place, and let the fury of Sauron rain upon her body. The dark one could fling her to the dragons and the balrogs, if it secured the King's freedom.
"Are you well?"
Startled, she dropped the unfinished embroidery. "My lord! I did not hear you enter."
He crossed to her, gently laid his hands on her shoulders. "You seem preoccupied, and anxious. Is there something amiss?"
There was no use trying to hide from him; he could read her all too well. She burst into tears, seizing his hands in hers.
"Ariashal, what is the matter? Are you unwell?"
"No," she managed to sob. "But Herumor said--"
"Herumor! He was barely able to mount his beast. What were the two of you doing?"
"What? We did nothing! We simply shared some brandy."
"Judging from his condition, Herumor had considerably more than some brandy. He has been gone less than an hour, and already you miss his company?"
"No! No, my lord. That is not what I meant."
"Then what is it?"
She swallowed, hard. "Sauron. He told me--he told me what Sauron did to you."
He took a long breath. "What, exactly, did Herumor say?"
"He told me--he told me about the way you were treated."
"That is not all you were told."
"He told me about the time Sauron nearly killed you."
"I see." The King seated himself next to her. "Ofttimes, I wish he had slain me."
"What? Why? Do you--do you not wish to be with me?"
He laughed. "Nay, my lady queen. You are by far the finest thing to ever grace my presence! I am glad to have you at my side."
"He said Sauron loved--"
"Love?" The King cut her off, his eyes shimmering red. "Sauron knows nothing of love. He knows hate, and pain; but he knows not the difference between lust, love, or even hunger. All he understands is the craving of power. But of real love, he is ignorant."
She dabbed at her tears. "Why did he try to kill you?"
"I assure you, that was not his intent. Nay, he wished to force me to lead his army against Ar-Pharazon, and that I would not do. It infuriated him that I would deny him his dream of becoming the true master of Middle-Earth. And he knew it was my fault, my queen, for he had men enough to make a fight of it. Ar-Pharazon lacked the full might of Numenor. Sauron could have made a good war, and he would have drawn much blood."
"But he would not."
"No, he would not, and that was because he needed me. When I refused, he thought he could not win. For he had bragged that he would sweep all Numenoreans into the sea, and when he had cleansed Middle-Earth he would attack Numenor itself. I refused to wage war against my heir. For Ar-Pharazon was, still, a descendant of my son.
"It was one thing to destroy the small colonial kingdoms. But once they had joined with Ar-Pharazon's fleet they would not be so easily defeated. Sauron would be facing the greatest host assembled in Middle-earth since the First Age.
"Sauron is a coward. Without us at his side, he believed he could not win. And once he thought he had slain me, he knew the others would not follow him. So he chose to surrender rather than risk any harm to himself. What happened to us, or indeed to any of his followers, mattered not. His only concern was, and still is, his own survival."
"Yet still," she mused, "he destroyed Numenor."
"Yes, and when Westernesse drowned and the world was made round, we rejoiced. For we believed that Sauron had drowned, too; and while we might never again gaze upon Valinor, nor ever return to our homeland, we believed we were free of his wrath."
"But he returned."
"Yes." The red glow had yet to fade. "He returned, and some sea-creature found his ring for him. So he could again call us to him, and again demand of us what he would."
"Surely things must have been different!"
"Aye, indeed, madame, they were. For he did not expect to see me alive. The sight of me standing before him, strong and well, frightened him. He believed that he could not slay me, and so now he was forced to treat me almost as an equal. So he granted me more freedom, although I could not be truly free while he held the ring."
"He must have left you alone."
"Ahh, my dear queen! Ever are you a font of hope. He still had the ring, so I could still be compelled to do his bidding. And he could still punish me, if he would. It plagued him to no end that he could not break me. As far as can be judged, it plagues him still."
"But he does not have his ring."
"Nay, and until he can make a new one, his control is much reduced. I will not help him in such an endeavor, and I doubt anyone else will, either."
"So he will stay in Dol Guldur forever."
"If all goes well, yes. Should some fool make him a new ring, or should his old ring manage to reappear, then things will not bode well for anyone."
She curled up next to him. "I wish I could have been there, to take some of the punishment he gave you! I would rather he tore me apart than harm you!"
"Ariashal!" he hissed, his voice like iced steel. "Never, never wish for that! Never! For if he could, he would take you! And that is one thing which you could not survive."
"But my lord--"
"I know why you say this," he gently stopped her. "I know what it is that you mean. But I also know what he will do with such knowledge.
"You must understand," he continued, "what has happened in the past is over. We cannot change it now, much as we might wish. All we can do is to take what has happened to us both, and go on. I would have you no other way than how you are now."
She looked up at him, tears blinding her eyes. "Oh, my lord," she whispered, burying her head against his chest, "I would not trade you for the world."

Ain't really feelin the Honda civic metaphor bruhno analogy is perfect bruh. it aint meant to be taken literally.
Cause if girls were cars, when it comes to the relationship, I'm sure people would prefer the decent looking vehicle you can rely on rather than the good looking one that fucks you over..
besides, homeboy said she got attractive, & was the ride or die type? If she's faithful too why leave? Those women are ridiculously rare, what more could you really ask for in a relationship?

Latest update : 2010-12-27
A British citizen accuses an officer of police brutality
A British citizen accuses an officer of police brutality. This year Christmas is being celebrated in a 2.0 fashion. And a site offering web users the opportunity to attend the Davos World Economic Forum
The latest post from British blogger and activist Jody McIntyre is entitled "Wanted!", and is accompanied by two photographs of a policeman. The young man who suffers from cerebral palsy is accusing the policeman of pulling him from his wheel chair and dragging him along the street during the student demonstrations in London on the 9th of December.
Ever since these amateur images began circulating on sharing sites, the incident has been a hot topic of conversation on the British web. We see Jody McIntyre pulled to the ground by a police officer. As we can hear, protesters at the scene were outraged by this brutal intervention.
The young man has decided to find his tormentor and is relying on the help of web users'. Via his Twitter account in particular, he is asking them to circulate photos of the suspect to try and identify the policeman.
And online mobilisation is growing. Numerous Facebook groups like these ones have been set up on the social network, condemning the police brutality against Mr McIntyre and demanding that justice be done. The groups now have several thousand members, all offering the disabled man their support.
The strong mobilisation has prompted the Independent Police Complaints Commission, the IPCC to open up an investigation into this incident. The commission has stated that other complaints of police brutality have been filed by student demonstrators and are currently being reviewed by the services.
This year the nativity story is being told in a 2.0 fashion. In this video, a Portuguese digital marketing agency has imagined the birth of Jesus in the social network era. Mary and Joseph would have announced the good news by email, the Three Kings would have been invited through a Facebook event and there would have been Google searches to work out the best way to get from Nazareth to Bethlehem … nothing has been left out. It's a fun way of revisiting the Christmas story.
And the story appears to have inspired many others. St Paul's cathedral in New Zealand has enlisted help from its younger parishioners to tell the nativity story. The children explain in their own words their version of the birth of Jesus and remind us that Christmas is above all for children.
Members of the Bowen Beer Bottle Band have opted for an original way of celebrating the festive season. They are using empty beer bottles as instruments to play totally new versions of traditional Christmas carols.
Others have organized flash mobs to try and spread the Christmas spirit. This trend enjoyed particular success in North America this year. As illustrated in these videos, dozens of flash mobs were organized in the US and Canada, with people of all ages singing Christmas songs together.
And as is the case every year, children can follow Santa Claus' journey on the night before Christmas. His trip around the globe will be broadcast live on the site noradsanta.org.
The site « Your chance to attend Davos 2011 » in partnership with YouTube is offering web users the chance to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos on the 26th of January. Participants have until the 14th of January to post a one minute long video on the sharing site with innovative ideas on the importance of inclusive growth. The winner will be taken to Switzerland to meet world leaders.
« These people are wondering what camp in Siberia they will be sent to ». People might feel uncomfortable in the presence of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and so the site "Uncomfortable moments with Putin" has gathered photos of the former president with unknown people as well as politicians and added amusing captions.
Firemen from Cottage Grove, a city in the US State of Oregon decided to decorate their fire engine for Christmas this year. They needed 10 000 coloured lights and 40 hours of labour. The result is pretty successful and should be a hit with people of all ages.

Oyster River girls capture D-II title
Monday, February 11, 2013
DURHAM — Consistency was key for the Oyster River High School girls swimming team during the Division II championships on Sunday afternoon.
Jones, Shannon, Oakes and Jenna Howland teamed for the Bobcats' victory in the 200 free relay, finishing in 1:47.09 and cruising past second-place Monadnock by more than four seconds.
"They were on fire today," Reeves said of the girls relay teams. "They really swam their hearts out. Each one did their best seasonal time. The relays are just so important to the overall team score. We knew it would come down to that, and whoever won that last relay would win the meet."
While none earned individual glory, plenty of Bobcats were near the top of the standings in a number of events.
Jones was second in the 200 free in 1:57.93 and second in the 500 free in 5:13.80. Shannon was second in the 50 free in 25.92 seconds and second in the 100 free in 56.72 seconds. Oakes was third in the 100 back in 1:03.00 and Lexi Nicol finished third in the diving competition.
On the boys side, St. Thomas Aquinas boasted a double state champion in junior Sam Haines, who won the 200 IM in 2:04.14 and the 100 fly in 53.97 seconds.
"I've been building this up for the last few years," Haines said. "To do this in junior year is pretty awesome."
The Saints were second in the team standings with 170 points behind Souhegan's 196. Oyster River was fourth, Portsmouth eighth and Coe-Brown 14th.
St. Thomas junior Jack Gentes won the 50 free in a time of 22.92 seconds and was second in the 100 free in 50.25 seconds. Afterwards, he provided some bulletin-board material for the rest of the state.
"I love sprinting, so I'm pretty happy I got the 50," Gentes said. "The 100 was pretty close. It's great to come in second as a team, but you know what? We're going to come back harder next year. We're going to win it next year."
The St. Thomas boys relay team of Gentes, Haines, William Micali, Robbie Pollini and took the top spot in the 200 free with a winning time of 1:36.93.
It was a local sweep in the diving competition, as St. Thomas senior Signe Frick won her third straight state championship. Originally scheduled to be held separate from the rest of the swim meet, the snowstorm forced both events to be held concurrently, adding an extra challenge for the divers.

Here are the ten commandments in Exodus 20:2-17 (Wikisource):
- I am Yahweh your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, from the slave-house. You will have no other Gods in my presence.
- You will make for yourself no statue and no image of that in the skies above and that in the land below, and that in the water underneath the land. You will not bow to them, and you will not worship them, because I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous god, commanding blight, from fathers to sons to the third generation and the fourth generation, to my detesters. And I will have kindness on the thousands, to those that love me, and that keep my commandments.
- And you will not carry the name of Yahweh your God in vain, because Yahweh will not absolve he who carries his name in vain.
- Remember the shabbat(sabbath/rest) day, in its holiness. Six days you will work, and you will make all your craft. And the seventh day, rest for Yahweh your God. You will not do any craft, you and your sons and your daughters, and your slave, and your slave-woman, and your beasts, and the stranger who is within your gates. Because six days did Yahweh make the skies and the Earth, and the seas and all that is within them, and he rested on the seventh day. Because of this, Yahweh blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.
- Respect your father and your mother, so that your days shall be long upon the earth, which Yahweh your God gives you.
- You will not murder.
- You will not commit adultery.
- You will not steal.
- You will not aggrieve your fellow man with false testimony.
- You will not covet your fellow man's household. You will not covet your fellow man's wife, or his slave-men, or his slave-women or his ox or his donkey, or all that is your fellow man's.
Later, we find another set of ten-ish commandments, in Exodus 34:11-26 (Wikisource):
- Keep you lest you will forge a pact with the settlers of the land which you are coming to, lest they will be a snare within you. Because you shalt smash their alters, and you shalt break their monuments, and you shalt uproot their cultic poles.Because you will not bow down to another god, because Yahweh is jealous of his name, he is a jealous god. Lest you forge a pact with the settlers of the land, and they whored after their gods, and they sacrificed to their gods, and he called to you, and you ate from his altar. And you took of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters will whore after their gods, and they made your sons whore after their gods.
- You will not make molded gods.
- The holiday of Matsot(unleaven bread/crackers) you will keep, seven days will you eat crackers, as I have commanded you, the event at the month of Aviv, because in the month of Aviv you came out of Egypt.
- All that breaks opens a womb, and all your livestock remember, first birth a bull and a sheep, and first birth of donkeys you will redeem with a sheep, and if you will not redeem it, break its neck.
- All your firstborn sons, redeem, and they will not see my face devoid of these.
- Six days will you work, and on the seventh day break. Of the plowing and the reaping you will break.
- And the holiday of weeks(Shevuoth) make for you, the first of the harvest of wheat, and the holiday of gathering the whole of the year's. 23 Three times a year, all your males will show themselves before the lord Yahweh, god of Israel. Because I will disenfrachise nations from before you, and I will expand your borders, and no man will covet your land, as you go up before Yahweh your lord, three times a year.
- You will not slaughter the blood of my altar on leavened bread, and it will not be kept for the morning, the sacrifice of the holiday of passover.
- The first prime yields of your land bring to the house of Yahweh your god.
- You will not cook a kid goat in its mother's milk.
Which is it? In case this does not strike one as a contradiction, there are two or three overlapping commandments—the commandment to avoid molded gods/idols, and the commandment to keep the sabbath holy. To this may be added the first commandment, which is strict monotheism and rejecting the local gods.

Mavs make move to Portsmouth official
Tuesday, December 11, 2012
PORTSMOUTH — In each of the Seacoast Mavericks' first two years of existence, Jon Bobbett and his wife, Oneta, have hosted a Mavericks player for the summer.
"My 11-year-old son worships (infielder) Tommy Chase," said Jon Bobbett, "wherever he is playing."
"Portsmouth is on the radar when it comes to baseball. I'm excited the Mavericks are going to be part of that tradition."
The Mavericks originally wanted to call Leary Field home during their inaugural season in 2011, but couldn't be accommodated and had to look elsewhere.
The team's immediate focus is finding a field manager to replace Tim Bonehill, who will not return in 2013. Assistant coach Eric Fernandes, a longtime area youth and high school coach, confirmed he will return.
