I got a UITimePicker in my app, and I want to use it to select a certain number of hours and minutes after a user event. (for example 3 hours 15 minutes after 7PM) This is why I want to show the date in 24 hour format, otherwise the user might get confused.
Is there a way to force the timepicker to show 24 hour view, independent of the clock format for the locale? Or do I just pick another locale?
UIDatePicker *timePicker;
NSDateFormatter *timePickerFormatter;
[self.view addSubview:timePicker];
float tempHeight = timePicker.frame.size.height;
timePicker.frame = CGRectMake(0,150 ,self.view.frame.size.width , tempHeight);
timePicker.hidden = YES;
timePickerFormatter= [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init ];
[timePickerFormatter setDateFormat:@"HH:mm"]; //formats date for processing
Thank you!
Update: I found the answer like this:
timepicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeCountDownTimer;
This effectively accomplishes what I'm trying to do by displaying 0 to 23 hours and 0 to 59 minutes, no further customization required! Sorry for asking about the 24 hour format, this is what the Android app that I'm porting over was using!

Recently released safety Charles Woodson is going to draw a lot of interest on the free agenct market, and James Walker on ESPN.com takes a look at the possibility of Woodson coming to the AFC East. Walker writes that the "Patriots desperately need help at safety. They allowed an NFL-high 74 passing plays of 20 yards or more last season. New England has been mostly linked to Baltimore Ravens' pending free-agent safety Ed Reed.

Is there a file I have to modify? Or a setting I am missing?
noj75 added a post in a topic Error HTML PageOk,
So the root of my forum displays the "Something went wrong" and EX0 error code.
Also, in the admin area: community/forums segment, only my first category is listed and everything else is listed as forums_forum_forumid for both categories AND forums.
Does anyone have any idea as to what is going on?
noj75 added a post in a topic Error HTML PageCancel the above. I am in ok, but now the pages have the Error Code EX0 and "Something went wrong" message.
Oh my days

Thanks for the reply, personally I would much prefere to use the stock skin that is shipped with the sofware. Less hassel when it comes to upgrades and compatibility etc. :)
noj75 added a topic in Pre-Sales QuestionsIPB 4.0 - Look & Feel QuestionGood morning,
I can fully appreciate that this question may not have an answer just yet as the team continues to design 4.0.
I run quite a large forum that is used, predominantly, by the 'older' person. Design is a very important factor for me as they require the look and colour scheme to be easily readable. I am in the process of designing more features for my users but using the forum framework so to save having to redesign the content I am creating can you tell me if 4.0 is going to use the same colour scheme as the current 3.4.5?
Again, I can appreciate if the design has not yet been decided but any information regarding the above question would help my cause.
Kindest regards.

René Massigli
René Massigli (22 March 1888 – 3 February 1988) was a French diplomat who played a leading role as a senior official at the Quai d'Orsay, and was regarded as one of the leading French experts on Germany.[1]
Early career[edit]
The son of a Protestant law professor, Massigli was born in Montpellier in the southern French department of Hérault. He joined the French foreign service during the First World War. During World War I, Massigli served in the Maison de la Presse section of the Quai d'Orsay in Bern, Switzerland, where he analyzed German newspapers for the French government.[2] In the spring of 1919, Massigli was sent on several unofficial missions to Berlin to contact German officials about the terms of the Treaty of Versailles.[3] In May 1919, Massagli had a series of secret meetings with various German officials in which he offered on behalf of his government to revise the peace terms of the upcoming Treaty of Versailles in Germany's favour in regards to territorial and economic clauses of the proposed treaty.[4] Massigli suggested "practical, verbal discussions" between French and German officials in the hope of creating "collaboration franco-allemande".[4] During his meetings, Massigli let the Germans know of the deep divisions between the "Big Three" at the Paris Peace Conference, namely Woodrow Wilson, David Lloyd George and Georges Clemenceau.[5] Speaking on behalf of the French government, Massilgi informed the Germans that the French considered the "Anglo-Saxon powers", namely the United States and the British Empire to be the real post-war threat to France, argued that both France and Germany had a common interest in opposing "Anglo-Saxon domination" of the world and warned that the "deepening of opposition" between the French and the Germans "would lead to the ruin of both countries, to the advantage of the Anglo-Saxon powers".[5] The French overtures to the Germans was rejected by the latter because the Germans regarded the French offers to be a trap to trick them into accepting the Versailles treaty "as is" and because the German foreign minister, Count Ulrich von Brockdorff-Rantzau thought that the United States was more likely to soften the peace terms then France.[5]
The 1920s[edit]
Massigli served as the secretary-general for the Conference of Ambassadors between 1920 and 1931 before becoming the head of the Quai d'Orsay's section dealing with the League of Nations.[2] Using a pseudonym, Massigli wrote an article in the L'Ere Nouvelle newspaper in March 1920, in which condemned "the revival of militarism" in Germany as represented by the Kapp Putsch, predicated that the Reichswehr would never accept democracy, but claimed that there was a genuine desire for democracy among the German people.[6] In another series of articles published in June 1920, Massigli articulated what he regarded as the central dilemma of France's German policy; namely to insist upon a too forceful enforcement of Versailles would undermine German moderates, but at the same time, enemies of democracy were strong in Germany, that German democracy might fail even if the treaty were revised and thus to loosen Versailles would make the task of any potential future anti-democratic government in Germany easier.[7]
During his time at the Conference of Ambassadors, Massigli was closely involved in the disputes about Upper Silesia, the Memelland, the Vilnius/Wilno dispute, the borders of Austria and Hungary, and the enforcement of Part V of the Treaty of Versailles (the section that dealt with disarmament).[8] In the early 1920s, Massigli was known for his vigorous efforts to enforce Part V, and attempted to thwart German efforts to violate Part V.[8] In Massigli's view, the French should be moderate in the enforcement of Versailles, but in return, the Germans must obey all of the articles of Versailles, above all Part V. As Massigli wrote: "The touchstone for Germany is the execution of the Treaty, or at least, since I am prepared to believe that certain of its clauses cannot be applied, to give evidence of goodwill in its execution. The starting point must be the disarmament of the Reichswehr".[9] In September 1923, during the Ruhr crisis, Massigli was sent to the Rhineland to report to Paris on the viability of the Rhenish separatist movement, and what support, if any, France should offer the separatists.[9] Massigli was very cool in his assessment of the Rhenish separatists, whom he described as badly organized and lacking in popular support, and advised against support for a Rhenish Republic.[9]
Starting in the mid-1920s, Massigli came to relax his views, and started to advocate reconciliation with Germany, though not at the expense of French security.[6] In 1925, Massigli played a major role in the negotiations that led to the Treaty of Locarno. Though welcoming Gustav Stresemann's initiative in renouncing claims upon Alsace-Lorraine as a very important step for peace, in private Massigli was troubled by the refusal of the Germans to give similar guarantees for their neighbors in Eastern Europe, especially Poland or to abide by the terms of Part V.[10] A close friend and associate of Aristide Briand, Massigli worked strongly in the late 1920s for Franco-German détente.[11] However, Massigli never lost any of his concerns about the Reichswehr, and felt that Franco-German rapprochement should best take place within the broader framework of European integration and collective security.[11] As Massigli later told the historian Georges-Henri Soutou "Briandism had the great merit of drawing a good number of European states towards the French viewpoint."[11] In accordance with these views, Massigli played a major role in working behind the scenes in the talks that led to Germany joining the League of Nations as a Council permanent member in 1926.[12] For Massigli was open to revising Versailles within Germany's favor, but only within the context of multilateral organizations like the League of Nations.[12] In 1929–1930, Massigli worked closely with Briand in his project for creating a European "federation" that many have seen as a prototype for the European Union.[12]
The 1930s[edit]
From 1930 on, Massigli was intimately involved in the preparatory work for the World Disarmament Conference scheduled to open in 1932.[13] The increasing divergence between German demands for gleichberechtigung ("equality of armaments") (i.e. abolishing Part V) and the French demand for sécurité ("security") (i.e. maintaining Part V) together with the strains in Franco-German relations imposed by the abortive Austrian-German customs project of 1931 left Massigli increasing disillusioned with the Weimar Republic.[14] In 1931, Massigli advised the Premier Pierre Laval before his summit with the German Chancellor Dr. Heinrich Brüning that France should offer a bail-out for the collapsing German bank system only if the Germans were prepared to forgo the demand for gleichberechtigung at the upcoming World Disarmament Conference.[15] Dr. Brüning refused the French conditions at his summit with Laval. Massigli was a prominent player at the World Disarmament Conference in Geneva, and helped to write famous "Barthou note" of 17 April 1934 issued by the Foreign Minister Louis Barthou that helped to terminate the conference.[15] Massigli was especially opposed to the Premier, Édouard Herriot's acceptance in December 1932 "in principle" of gleichberechtigung, predicating correctly that it would lead to opening the door for German rearmament.[15]
In 1933, Massigli was appointed the Deputy Political Director at the French foreign ministry. During the 1930s, Massigli was a leading member of the so-called "Protestant clan", namely a group of Protestants who held high offices in the Quai d'Orsay.[16] As a diplomat, Massigli was noted for his efficiency and his crisp, lucid writing style.[16] In general, Massigli was identified with as an advocate of "firmness" in dealing with the new German government, and in note of 11 December 1933 argued that the main thrust of German policy would be to keep Franco-German relations in good state in exchange for French acceptance of German expansionism into Eastern Europe before turning west for a final showdown with France.[17] Unlike his superior, the Secretary-General of the Quai d'Orsay, Alexis Leger, Massilgi was more open to enlisting Italy as an ally against Germany.[16] During the crisis caused in March 1936 by German remilitarization of the Rhineland, Massigli urged that Paris use the crisis as a way of strengthening French ties with the United Kingdom and Belgium and the League of Nations.[18] Massigli especially hoped to use the Rhineland crisis as a way of securing the British "continental commitment" (i.e. an unequivocal British commitment to defend France via an expeditionary force of the same size as the British Expeditionary Force of World War I). After meeting with the British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden in London in March 1936, Massigli was angry with what he regarded as the feeble British response to the Rhineland remilitarization.[18] Massigli regarded the vague British promise to come to France's aid in the event of a German attack coupled with staff talks of very limited scope as a most unsatisfactory substitute for the "continental commitment". On 17 March 1936, Massigli expressed his worries about the possible consequences of the Rhineland crisis when he complained to General Victor-Henri Schweisguth the concept of international co-operation was collapsing in the face of the German move into the Rhineland, that the League of Nations was losing all of its moral authority and that "if all this isn't repaired immediately, we stand on the verge of a complete change in policy and a return to continental alliances"[19] At least in the respect that the there was least some hope of maintaining good Anglo-French relations led Massigli to see at least some silver lining in the Rhineland crisis.[20] In 1937, he was promoted the Political Director of the Qui d'Orsay upon the recommendation of Alexis Leger.[2]
During the crisis in 1938 occasioned over Czechoslovakia, Massigli was not in sympathy with his government's policy, and in private deplored the Munich Agreement as a disaster to France.[21] In September 1938, Massigli followed the Premier, Édouard Daladier to Munich as part of the French delegation, and upon his return to Paris, witnessing the vast cheering crowds, he wrote in a letter "Poor people, I am overwhelmed with shame."[22] After the Munich Agreement, Massigli wrote in memo that "Far from bringing Germany back to a policy of co-operation, the success of her method can only encourage her to persevere in it. The enormous sacrifice conceded by the Western powers will have no counterpart: once more we will be reduced to an act of faith in the peaceful evolution of the new Pangermanism."[23] In August 1938, Massigli argued to the British Chargé de Affairs, Campbell what he saw as the significance of Czechoslovakia as way of blocking German expansion into Eastern Europe.[22] However, Massigli felt given various economic and strategic concerns, that France could not go to war over Czechoslovakia without British support, and should that support not materialize, then it would be best for the French to explain the strategic state of affairs "frankly" to Prague.[22] Massigli felt that in the event of a German attack, then France should not automatically declare war as the Franco-Czechoslovak alliance of 1924 required, but instead Paris should present the hypothetical German-Czechoslovak war to the League of Nations Council, and then wait until the Council decided if the war was a case of aggression or not.[22] Massigli saw the Czechoslovak crisis as a way of strengthening Anglo-French ties and on 17 September 1938, Massigli wrote a memorandum in which stated:
"If the British Government pushes us along the path of surrender, it must consider the resulting weakness of French security, which on numerous occasions, has been declared inseparable from British security. To what extent might a reinforcement of the ties of Franco-British collaboration compensate for this weakening in the common interests of the two countries? This is a matter to which the attention of the British leaders should be drawn."[22]
Relations between Massigli and his superior in 1938, Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet were very poor and his memoirs, Bonnet lambasted Massigli quite severely.[24] For his part, Massigli accused Bonnet of seeking to alter the documentary record in his favor.[25] On 19 October 1938, Massigli was sacked as Political Director by Bonnet who exiled him to Turkey as Ambassador.[26] An Anglophile, Massigli's removal meant a weakening of those officials in the Quai d'Orsay who favored closer ties to Britain.[27]
During his time in Ankara, Massigli played an important role in ensuring that the Hatay dispute was resolved in Turkey's favor.[28] Massagli felt that the best way of ensuring a pro-Western tilt in Turkey was to accede to the Turkish demands for the sanjak of Alexandretta (modern İskenderun).[28] During his talks with the Turkish foreign minister, Şükrü Saracoğlu, Massigli was hindered by the continual poor state of his relations with Bonnet. In addition, Massigli faced much opposition from Arab nationalists and the French High Commission in Syria, who were both opposed to ceding the sanjak of Alexandretta.[28] When the talks over Hatay began in February 1939, Massagli went for weeks without negotiating instructions by Bonnet, and thus was only able to complete the Hatay negotiations on 23 June 1939.[28] Though Massigli was appalled by the Turkish chantage (blackmail) of concentrating troops on the Turkish-Syrian frontier and sending raiders over the border as a way of pressuring the French into handing over Alexandretta, he felt that it was better to turn over Alexandretta as a way of winning Turkey over, and allowing France to focus on opposing Germany.[29]
Massigli argued to his superiors in Paris that it was Germany, not Turkey that was the major danger to France, and having a large number of French troops in Syria to guard against a Turkish attack was simply an unneeded distraction. Moreover, Massigli maintained that if France did not return Alexandretta and a Franco-German war broke out, than Turkey would probably invade Syria to take back Alexandretta. But Massigli continued if France did return Alexandretta, than Turkey would at very least maintain a pro-Allied neutrality and in a best case scenario fight on the Allied side. During his talks with the Turks, Massigli was often attacked by Les Syriens, an influential Roman Catholic lobbying group who believed strongly in France's mission civilisatrice (civilizing mission) in the Middle East, and were stoutly opposed to giving up Alexandretta as a betrayal of France's mission civilisatrice.[30] Most of the Les Syriens were Anglophobes, who saw Britain rather than Germany as the main enemy of France.[30] Massigli for his part held the Les Syriens in contempt, arguing that France could not be distracted by adventures in the Middle East with Germany on the march.[31] In March 1939, Massigli visited the headquarters of the French High Commission in Beirut, and bluntly stated that Turkey was not as the High Commission were claiming seeking to annex all of Syria, and were only seeking Alexandretta.[31] Massigli was able during his talks with the Turks to persuade his hosts to stop sending irregulars over the Turkish-Syrian frontier to attack French troops.[31] During his negotiations with Saracoğlu, the Turks suggested a ten-year alliance of Turkey, Britain and France in exchange for the French handing over Alexandretta.[31] When the Turkish offer became public, it provoked a major outcry from the Les Syriens.[31]
On 24 March 1939, Saracoğlu told Massigli that Britain and France should do more to oppose German influence in the Balkans, which was followed on 29 March by an offer of a Franco-Turkish alliance which would into effect provided the British also joined.[32] In April 1939, the deputy Soviet Foreign Commissar Vladimir Potemkin during a visit to Turkey told Massigli that the aim of Soviet foreign policy was to bring into line a "peace front" to oppose German expansionism comprising Britain, France, the Soviet Union and Turkey.[33] In 1939, Massigli was heavily preoccupied with competition with the German Ambassador Franz von Papen in an effort to secure Turkish adherence to the Allied side in the event of war breaking out. As part of the effort to increase French influence on the Turkish government, Massigli arranged for the visit of General Maxime Weygand to Turkey in early May 1939, which was made into a state event.[34] During Weygand's visit, the Turkish President İsmet İnönü told the French that he believed that the best way of stopping Germany was an alliance of Turkey, the Soviet Union, France and Britain; that if such an alliance came into being, the Turks would allow Soviet ground and air forces onto their soil; and that he wanted a major programme of French military aid to modernize the Turkish armed forces.[35] Massigli was most disappointed when the British sent a mere Brigadier instead of an Admiral to offer military aid to the Turks, remarking sorely that "The Turks respect the Royal Navy; they no longer believe in the British Army."[36] In July 1939 Massigli argued that if the British and French were able to offer a stabilization fund for the Turkish pound, it would undercut German economic influence in Turkey and tie Turkey to the West.[37] Later in July 1939, Massigli was able to play a major part in arranging for French arms shipments to Turkey and later in August to have an Anglo-French stabilization fund created to help with Turkey's economic problems.[38] The signing of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact on 23 August 1939 undid much of Massigli's effects as the Turks always believed that it was essential to have the Soviet Union as an ally to counter Germany, and the signing of the German-Soviet pact undercut completely the assumptions behind Turkish security policy.[39] Through Massigli was often hampered by his poor relations with Bonnet, the efforts of the Les Syriens, and the stingily attitude of the French Treasury towards supporting Turkey, the British historian D.C. Watt argued that Massigli was an outstanding able ambassador who did much to successfully advance French interests in Turkey in 1939.[40]
World War Two and the Cold War[edit]
In October 1939, the furious rivalry between Massagli and von Papen finally ended with the conclusion of a mutual security pact between the United Kingdom, France and Turkey. However, as Massagli admitted in his memoir of time as ambassador in Ankara, La Turquie devant la Guerre, his triumph proved to be an ephemeral one as the Turks chose to interpret Clause Two of the Anglo-French-Turkish alliance in such way as justifying remaining neutral.[41] However, Massigli contended that while he failed to bring Turkey into the war on the Allied state, he at least foiled von Papen's efforts to bring Turkey into the war on the Axis side.
In August 1940, Massigli was removed by the Vichy government as Ambassador to Turkey. After his firing, Massigli returned to France and was in contact with several Resistance leaders in the Lyon area, most notably Jean Moulin. In January 1943, Massigli escaped to London and served as Charles de Gaulle's Commissioner for Foreign Affairs (in effect the Free French foreign minister) in 1943–1944. In 1943, Massigli opposed the visit of the Prime Minister of Iraq, Nuri as-Said Pasha to Algeria after a summit with the Prime Minister of Egypt, Mustafa el-Nahhas Pasha, on the grounds that such visit would encourage Arab nationalist sentiment in French North Africa, would give the impression that France was aligning itself with one fraction centered around as-Said Pasha and might weaken the electoral chances of pro-French Lebanese nationalists in the upcoming Lebanese elections.[42] In January 1944, at the conference called by General de Gaulle to consider the post-war fate of the French African colonies in Brazzaville in the French Congo, Massigli strongly urged that representatives from the protectorates of Tunis and Morocco and the government of Algeria not be allowed to attend the conference.[43] Massigli's advice was not ignored.[43]
In the spring of 1944, Massigli on the behalf of General de Gaulle presented an offer to British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Foreign Secretary Sir Anthony Eden for a "Third Force" in the post-war world standing between the Soviet Union and the United States that was to comprise the United Kingdom, France and Belgium, who to integrate their defense and economic policies and jointly control the western half of Germany.[44] The British were not initially interested in the proposal, while de Gaulle was always cool to the idea of British involvement in the "Third Force" concept, and had only agreed to British participation to allay Belgian concerns about post-war French domination.[44] Moreover, de Gaulle had imposed as a precondition for British participation that London should support France annexing the Ruhr and Rhineland regions of Germany after the war, a demand the British rejected.[44]
In 1944, de Gaulle decided that the Anglophile Massigli was too pro-British for his liking and demoted him to Ambassador to London. From August 1944 until June 1954, Massigli was the French Ambassador to the Court of St. James's. In August 1944, Massigli lobbied Winston Churchill for allowing a greater French role in the war in the Far East as the best way of ensuring that French Indochina stay French after World War II had ended.[45] In November 1944, when Churchill visited Paris, he presented to de Gaulle his offer for an Anglo-French pact, which Massigli urged the General to accept, but which de Gaulle refused.[44] During his time in Britain, Massigli was very much involved in the debates about the Cold War and European integration. Massigli was strongly opposed to the vision of European federation of Jean Monnet. Instead he urged the creation of an Anglo-French bloc which would serve as the basis for a federation of Europe. In 1954–1956, Massigli served as the Secretary-General of the Quai d'Orsay. As Secretary-General, Massigli played a major role behind the scenes in resolving the 1954 crisis in trans-Atlantic relations caused by the rejection by the French National Assembly of the European Defence Community treaty. In 1956, Massigil retired. His memoirs, Une Comédie des Erreurs, were published in 1978. He died in Paris on 3 February 1988 a month short of his 100th birthday.

Dragons hold off Rhinos
Visitors come up just short on sweltering day in France
Last Updated: 18/08/12 7:48pm
Leeds put up a defiant showing in Perpignan despite understandably having at least half an eye on next Saturday's Challenge Cup final.
Following Warrington's heavy loss to London, it looked as though both Wembley-bound sides would be heading to the capital on the back of heavy defeats when Leeds trailed 18-0 and 32-12.
But a stunning turnaround ensured the game was only won in the dying seconds, despite the home side having held a 20-point lead with 20 minutes remaining.
Catalan opened up an early 18-point lead with Setaimata Sa, Scott Dureau and Remi Casty all going over in the first quarter of the game.
Dureau converted all three efforts and added a penalty on 36 minutes after Leeds had held Eloi Pelissier down in the tackle.
That penalty sandwiched two Leeds efforts, Shaun Lunt going over after good work by Kallum Watkins, while the latter kept the Rhinos in the hunt, crossing 20 seconds before the half-time hooter after a big assist by Zak Hardaker.
Kevin Sinfield converted both tries to send the sides to the interval at 20-12.
After the break, the Catalans turned the screw in the stifling heat.
A smart break by Damien Blanch, supported by Clint Greenshields, gave the Dragons' field position before Sa's neat kick behind the Leeds defence was pounced on by Vincent Duport. Dureau converted to take the scores to 26-12.
Catalan captain Casty then scored his second of the night with a try to the left hand side of the posts. Dureau again converted to give the hosts a 20-point lead on the hour.
But Ryan Hall scored with 15 minutes to go and with the next set of possession, Leeds scored again through youngster Jimmy Keinhorst. Sinfield converted both to reduce the scores to 32-24.
Jinking run
With seven minutes remaining, Stevie Ward went on a jinking run across the front of the Catalan defence and sent the ball out to Hall, with the England winger picking the ball up and scoring in the same movement.
Sinfield missed the touch line conversion to see the scores narrowed to 32-28.
But Catalan won the game with a superb try. Blanch and Greenshields combined to give Scott Dureau the platform to put in a measured kick in behind the Leeds defence and Daryl Millard touched down.
Dureau sealed the win with his seventh goal from seven attempts.
There was just time for Leeds to hit back two minutes from time after Lunt's break but Catalan held on.

Retired PSU Professor Was Witness to Cuban History
PLYMOUTH — Retired Plymouth State University professor Dr. Manuel Marquez-Sterling says that Cuba's history would have been very different had his father, Carlos Marquez-Sterling, prevailed in the Nov. 3, 1958, election.
''My father should have won. But there was huge electoral fraud by Fulgencio Batista and the Army and Fidel Castro's forces kept many people from voting at all. In some places Batista's forces just filled the ballot boxes with ballots they had filled out,'' says Marquez-Sterling, who was born in Havana and practiced law in Cuba before coming to the United States in 1960.
He has documented the period in a book, "Cuba 1952-1959: The True Story of Castro's Rise to Power," which was published in 2009. He says his book destroys many myths about Cuba and shows that it was a prosperous and progressive country, and in the fast lane to become a First World country with a large middle class, a fine educational system open to all classes, and with high standards of living.
''We had the third-best economy in the Americas. Only the United States and Canada were better, off,'' says Marquez-Sterling, who says that under Castro the economy was transformed from one that had been growing rapidly into that of a Third World country.
He is withholding judgment on President Barak Obama's move to re-establish diplomatic relations with Cuba, but is concerned that Obama wasn't able to gain concessions on human rights from the Castro government. ''Will they continue to control the press as closely as they have? They have to make concessions,'' says Marquez-Sterling, who maintains that the Cuban economy is getting even worse, especially now that oil prices have dropped worldwide and that Venezuela will no longer be able to help prop up the Castro government.
''A cautious observer just has to wait and see. My fear is that the U.S. may end up as an ally of the Castro regime.'' he says.
He is the co-author, along with father, of the "History of the Island of Cuba," and also published his father's memoirs. His father was also the founder of the Manuel Marquez Sterling School of Journalism at the University of Havana.
His father, who had served as president of the Cuban House of Representatives, was detained many times during he 1950s for his opposition to the Batista dictatorship and was placed under house arrest after Castro took over power on Jan. 1, 1959. He later fled the country and came to the United States where he taught at Columbia University.
Marquez-Sterling and his wife, Gloria, left Cuba along with their infant son in June 1960.
''We had $350 and a small suitcase. We thought that we would be going back some day. We came here to oppose Castro and his revolution,'' says Gloria.
He looked for a job and landed one cleaning a supermarket in Miami, a major change from being a lawyer and a probate judge. The couple later moved to the Washington, D.C., area where he found a job selling shoes before landing a job as a Spanish teacher at a prep school.
Marquez-Sterling said that during that time they saved up many boxes, with the intention of using them to take their belongings with them whenever they returned to Cuba. But that all changed during the Cuban Missile crisis in October 1962.
''We watched President Kennedy's speech about the missile crisis and I told my wife, 'Throw all the boxes away. We're not going back. Now we're part of the Cold War.'''
Marquez-Sterling went on to teach at Ricker College in Maine and landed a job teaching history at what was then Plymouth State Teachers College in 1966. Retired from his faculty position, he now holds the title of professor emeritus.
''I told my wife we'd be here two years. Well it turned out to be a lot longer than that. We fell in love with the area and I was doing what I was trained for.'' he says.
A lifelong baseball fan, who remembers seeing Minnie Minoso play in Cuba before he signed with the Chicago White Sox, Marquez-Sterling was featured in the Ken Burns series ''Baseball'' which was released in 1994. Among the items left behind in Cuba were dozens of baseball pictures signed by major league stars.
He and his wife note that there are 2.5 million Cubans who have left the country during Castro's rule and wonder what will be in store for them in the future.
''We're political refugees. Castro ran the island like a plantation and ruined its economy to the point where they now even have to import sugar. The average pay there is like $20 a month. Cuba is gasping for air. Will the refugees even be allowed to go inside Cuba?'' he asks.
Both say they have no interest in ever returning to Cuba as long as the Castro regime still holds power.
''What has changed? I don't want to see my homeland from a hotel.'' says Marquez-Sterling, who says he admires the sense of humor which has helped the Cuban people sustain themselves under Castro.
''You can be arrested if you have meat in your refrigerator or if you kill a milking cow for meat. So it seems that people are saying that their cows are committing suicide by getting hit by cars or trucks. That way they get to eat the meat without fear of being arrested.''

Bestway seeks approval to expand Belmont facility
BELMONT – Bestway Disposal Services has submitted a request for a site plan change to allow the firm to accept municipal solid waste at its Belmont facility.
The permit modification would allow them to take in not more than 600 tons of debris a day. Right now the facility accepts recyclable material and construction and demolition debris and handles about 503 tons per day.
Collection of municipal solid waste has been an acceptable use in that zoning district since voters approved a zoning amendment last March.
In their application, which needs a site plan approval from the Belmont Planning Board, and an approval from the N.H Department of Environmental Services, the company said it would have no significant impact to the site because the existing facility is already large enough to process the extra tonnage.
The site plan change said it could expect a minimal increase in traffic in the area, but because most refuse hauling trucks already drive past their facility at 34 Industrial Drive on their way to Penacook and Wheelabrator, it likely won't be noticeable.
Belmont is one of a number of communities that decided not to renew its contract with Waste Management and Wheelabrator beginning in January of 2015. Bestway has said it wants to accept municipal solid waste from those communities who didn't renew with Waste Management.
Bestway will bring the municipal waste to its landfill in Allenstown. Waste Management brings its waste to Penacook where it is incinerated.
The proposal said adding municipal solid waste to its range of services in Belmont will decrease the cost of waste collection by allowing haulers to discharge their waste closer than Penacook, saving the communities who use them money.
Belmont is one of the towns in the area that chose not to renew its contract with Waste Management. In return, Bestway has given the town a "home field" rate along with agreeing to provide residential recycling pick-up.
Belmont's Application Review Committee met Thursday and reviewed the plan. Town Planer Candace Daigle said she expects the Planning Board to act on the change of use request on Jan. 26.

Laconia Firefighters spearhead effort to rebuild family home in New Hampton
NEW HAMPTON – Pickup trucks line one side of Kelly Pond Road yesterday and the sound of hammer pounding and saws whining punctured the quiet country air.
Like any other construction site, this one had a bright orange dumpster, stacks of drywall and other building materials and the constant drone of a generator.
What made this one different is that it is an all-volunteer effort led by Laconia Firefighter Steve Hanser to rebuild a home that was damaged by a fire that left 12 members of the Batchelder family homeless.
Hanser, who started his firefighting career with the New Hampton Fire Department as a call firefighter, said it was a suggestion he made that snowballed into a massive rebuilding effort by other Laconia Firefighters, some personal friends of his, and donations of good and services from local businesspeople throughout the Lakes Region.
The goal, said Hanser, is for the Batchelder family to be able to return to their home before Christmas Day.
Hanser said the family didn't have any insurance and he said he knew they needed help. So he told them that he didn't have any money either, but would help to put things back together for them.
He said the project "started to snowball" and by Thursday people were calling and helping with donations or services for the project. Yesterday the crew was hoping to finish the framing.
The elder Batchelders both have some health issues but provide a home for 10 of their family members, including seven children between the ages of 1 and 12. Right now the entire family is staying at a nearby hotel likely being paid for by the Red Cross.
New Hampton Town Administrator Barbara Lucas stopped by the site to thank Hanser and to tell him others in the area are gathering Christmas presents for the family. She said the selectmen agreed to waive the building permit fees for the family.
Among those dedicating their time, money or equipment to the Batchelders' cause are Dumpster Depot, Rowell Sewer and Drain which supplied a port-a-potty, Superior Insulations and Lowe's Home Improvement Stores.
Hanser said Alex Ray of the Common Man Restaurant and the 104 Diner in New Hampton is holding fundraisers for the family as well.
Anyone wishing to help should contact the Common Man Restaurants, the 104 Diner or the Laconia Fire Department.

Heroin overdose nearly kills Laconia 19 year-old
LACONIA — Police are investigating the near fatal heroin overdose of a 19-year-old man on Winter Street on Wednesday afternoon.
Fire officials said the unnamed teen had a pulse rate of 4 beats per minute when firefighters were able to revive him with NARCAN, a drug is administered to counter the effects of heroin overdoses.
Officials said the individual came very close to dying.
Local police said there were a number of people in the area when they responded and they are investigating. The man's name is not being released.

The site excludes top 100 lists that are composed of information that is not objective, such as the U.S. News & World Report annual rankings of top facilities. Nor does it include Yelp or Angie's List commentaries, which are filled with opinion rather than fact and therefore did not meet the foundation's criteria, Painter said.
He added that the website is the culmination of the foundation's five years of work on quality, and efforts to get "all players to come to the common table, and agree that quality of care in our communities is a problem and we all want to improve.
"We agree that we need to measure it and publicly report it. And if there are worries, find a way to get those resolved. Is it fair, is it accurate, and is it timely."

Boeing conducted a second test flight of its 787 on Monday as it looks for the cause of battery problems that have grounded the planes. It said no more tests are currently planned.
Boeing said Monday's flight lasted one hour and 29 minutes and was uneventful. Flight-tracking service FlightAware showed that the plane flew from Boeing Field in Seattle, east over Washington State, and back.
Federal officials grounded the 787 on Jan. 16 because of battery problems that caused one fire and forced another plane to make an emergency landing. Boeing won permission from the Federal Aviation Administration last week to conduct test flights under special conditions, including that the planes fly over unpopulated areas.
Boeing said Monday's flight included two pilots and 11 flight test personnel. The test plane includes special equipment that lets it track the conditions of its two big lithium-ion batteries during the flight. It's one of Boeing's fleet of six 787 test planes that were used for flight testing before the plane went into full production.

Bratton: "Measure What Matters"
Being at a state and local government convention in the midst of a huge federal election season is kind of funny. For one thing, as ...
Being at a state and local government convention in the midst of a huge federal election season is kind of funny. For one thing, as I keep hearing what great things leaders are doing at the state and local level -- and the nonpartisan, data-driven ways their achieving real results -- I keep thinking, "Why aren't the federal guys talking about this?"
Also, I keep thinking, "If I were a new president taking office in January, I'd want this person on my team."
That's certainly what I was thinking while listening to Bill Bratton. He's the current chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, and he served as the chief of police of New York City during the 1990s, where he engineered an historic turnaround to New York's decades-long rise in crime. (He also was named a Governing Public Official of the Year last November.)
He did it -- and he's doing it again now in L.A. -- by measuring information. His revolutionary CompStat program used real, hard data to reduce crime in New York. He focused on identifying where crime was occurring and then targeting resources to find out why and to find out how to eliminate the crime.
But the key, Bratton told officials in the audience, is to measure the right stuff.
"In government, we had a tendency to measure everything and drive everyone crazy with data, rather than measuring what matters," he said.
Bratton painted a pretty dire picture of the current state of the country. It's the first time in our nation's history, he said, that we've faced a generational economic crisis while also fighting a war. Crime, too, is beginning to come back in many of our nation's cities. "There's never been a more distressed time in our nation's history. The importance of measuring what matters is going to be even more critical. We have the capability now to really make improvements, and the reason we have that capability is because we have a way of measuring our success."
