Player Analysis: Gore, when healthy, is an absolute monster. Combine this with an offensive genius for a coordinator (Mike Martz) and perhaps an unearthed gem at quarterback (JT O'Sullivan), and Gore could be set to reclaim a spot as a dominant, top tier running back.
Fantasy Football Impact: Gore should put up big numbers week in and week out, especially getting 6 games against a very poor division. They play the Lions in week 3, and Gore may well be the top scoring RB that weekend.
49ers Gore Inactive - 12/14/2008Source: AP
RB Frank Gore is inactive today against the Dolphins.
Fantasy Impact: RB Deshaun Foster will start in place of Gore, but he is not in consideration for a fantasy roster spot at this point. He is, after all, Deshaun Foster.
Frank Gore Loves Mike Martz - 07/26/2008Source: San Francisco Chronicle
49ers RB Frank Gore is optimistic that he can replicate Marshall Faulk's success with new coordinator Mike Martz. Gore says that Martz told him, 'All the great players, when they begin to fail in my offense, it's because they didn't study the playbook.'
Fantasy Impact: With no other great options on offense, Gore will once again be the focal point, and with Martz running the show should have a year reminiscent of 2006.
Denver bracing for 49er running back Gore - 12/28/2006Source: National Football League News Wire
The Denver Broncos don't need to be reminded of
the kind of season San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore is
having. With 1,542 yards, he leads the NFC in rushing and trails
only LaDanian Tomlinson and Larry Johnson in the NFL.
"We are aware of him," defensive tackle Gerard Warren said.
"We will be aware of him."
The second-year pro needs 29 yards to set the franchise's single
season rushing record, surpassing Garrison Hearst mark of 1,570 set
in 1998.
"You don't have to know his stats to know what kind of year
he's having," safety Domonique Foxworth said. "You can tell by
looking at film."
Gore has a good chance of finishing the season as the conference
rushing leader. He takes a 114-yard lead over Tiki Barber (1,428)
of the New York Giants into the final weekend of play.
Top running backs aren't something new for the Broncos this
season. Denver faced San Diego's Tomlinson, the NFL's rushing
leader with 1,749 yards, and Johnson of Kansas City, who has run
for 1,651 yards and Seattle's Shaun Alexander on successive weeks.
"We've dealt with a couple of pretty good ones within our
division," defensive end Kenard Lang said.
EARLY IMPRESSIONS@: San Francisco coach Mike Nolan got an early
glimpse of Jay Cutler long before Cutler's run of four straight
multi-touchdown passing games.
The two were on opposite sidelines of the Senior Bowl. Nolan was
coaching the South squad and Cutler was playing for the North.
"We didn't get a chance to coach him," Nolan said. "I
remember he did very well in the game."
Cutler said he had little contact and even less of a memory of
Nolan at that game.
Short week for Seahawks to figure out how to stop 49ers' Gore - 12/13/2006Source: National Football League News Wire
Mike Holmgren is hoping to get a better defensive
effort against Frank Gore this time.
"I think we'd like to tackle him," the Seattle coach said.
"We didn't do that in the first game."
Less than a month ago, Gore slashed through the Seahawks'
questionable run defense for a San Francisco-record 212 yards
rushing in the 49ers' 20-14 victory that made the defending NFC
champion look anything but formidable.
San Francisco (5-8) will need a similar performance from its
young, standout running back on Thursday night if it wants to avoid
watching Seattle (8-5) clinch the NFC West for a third straight
A win for the Seahawks will wrap up the mediocre division
they've dominated the last three seasons and preserve their slim
chances for getting the NFC's No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in
the playoffs.
The first step is stopping Gore, who surprised the Seahawks on
Nov. 19 with his speed in the open field and power breaking
tackles. Seattle linebacker Julian Peterson was one of the few not
surprised, having seen Gore develop last season when he was with
the 49ers.
"When I saw him on the field, I thought, 'Wow, he's coming off
two knee surgeries and he's looking this explosive," Peterson
said. "He has a lot of talent and you could see it day after day.
You saw the star in the making, so to speak."
Gore had 24 carries, averaging 8.8 yards per attempt, as the
49ers capped a three-game win streak to pull even at 5-5. Even
though it was his fifth 100-yard rushing game, doing it against the
defending conference champions drew more attention.
"When we played them they were down positions here and there,
and we took advantage of it," Gore said. "I know it's going to be
real tough to do it again."
Since that breakthrough victory, the 49ers' struggles have
returned. They lost in the closing seconds at St. Louis and were
dominated in every phase of a 34-10 loss to New Orleans. Last week,
Brett Favre starred again at Candlestick Park and led struggling
Green Bay to a convincing 30-19 victory.
Niners quarterback Alex Smith has become erratic, coverage
mistakes are festering in the defense and a lack of overall
sharpness has made the positive feelings from their win over
Seattle a memory. And now comes a short week, with only three days
of preparation and travel, to prepare for the Seahawks.
Vintage Favre helps Packers end skid - 12/10/2006Source: NFL.com
Bush explodes as Saints roll past 49ers - 12/04/2006Source: NFL.com
Like his father, Reggie Bush was a 49ers fan growing up.
Not in Week 13.
With San Francisco in town, Bush's father, LaMar Griffin, attended a game in the Louisiana Superdome for the first time since his son turned pro, wearing Bush's No. 25 Saints jersey. Bush delighted his parents and everyone else wearing black and gold, showing like never before that all those electrifying plays he made in high school and college could translate to the NFL.
"Obviously, I haven't had the flashy runs or the breakthrough game like everybody has been expecting, but at the same time, I'm adjusting to the NFL. I'm learning," Bush said. "It's the kind of a game I've been waiting for, too. It finally came today."
Bush tied Joe Horn's franchise record by scoring all four of the Saints' touchdowns and gained 168 total yards as New Orleans beat the San Francisco 49ers 34-10. The victory helped New Orleans (8-4) remain alone in first place in the NFC South, while reducing the 49ers (5-7) to playoff longshots.
Most of Bush's gains were modest, but his stunning acceleration, fancy footwork and leaping ability were evident in all of his touchdowns and numerous drive-sustaining plays. He finished with 131 yards on nine receptions and 37 yards on 10 rushes.
It was fitting that Bush looked more comfortable than he had previously in his young pro career, since so many elements from his past had converged in this game.
San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith was Bush's high school quarterback in San Diego. They won a pair of championships together. Their high school coach also was at the game. And Bush said he needed an outlet after watching his alma mater, Southern California, lose its chance for a national title by falling to rival UCLA a night earlier.
"I was sick last night. I wanted to throw up. I couldn't believe they lost," Bush said. "I had a little extra aggression and I wanted to take it out on the 49ers."
Bulger's rally snaps Rams' losing skid - 11/27/2006Source: NFL.com
It took a crucial stop by the Rams' beleaguered defense and Marc Bulger being nearly perfect on the winning drive to halt St. Louis' five-game losing streak.
The Rams (5-6) broke another team's heart for a change on Bulger's 5-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Curtis with 27 seconds to go for a 20-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Twice during the skid they lost in the final minute.
"We needed to win in the worst way," Curtis said. "To come out of there and score when we need to gives us a lot of hope for the rest of the season."
San Francisco (5-6) totaled 171 yards rushing against the NFL's worst defense against the run, including 134 yards on 21 carries by Frank Gore. He's the fifth player in six weeks to top 100 against the Rams, and totaled 261 yards in two games against St. Louis.
Leading 14-13 midway through the fourth quarter, the 49ers marched down the field on a 13-play, 75-yard drive that chewed up more than 7½ minutes and included only one pass. The drive screeched to a halt at the 7 when Michael Robinson was stopped for no gain on third-and-1 by Brandon Chillar and Raonall Smith, forcing a 24-yard field goal by Joe Nedney with 3:54 to go.
"That was a big moment," Rams middle linebacker Will Witherspoon said. "That was a game-changing moment."
Gore was not in the game for the big carry because of an injured right ankle, which coach Mike Nolan described as a bruise. He was taken for X-rays after the game.
Watch some of the best games from Week 12 all over again with NFL Replay on NFL Network. Airing on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. ET, the broadcasts will feature a 90-minute fast-paced format complete with original television announcers and cameras. An additional game will be shown on Friday.
Nolan wouldn't second-guess his decision not to go for the first down.
"I thought about it at the time, running it hard, but we're on the road," Nolan said. "Make it a touchdown game. I wouldn't change anything."
Stymied much of the game, Bulger was 9 for 9 for 66 yards during a 12-play, 80-yard drive for the winning score. He finished 23 for 34 for 201 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
Bulger was sacked twice, a big improvement after absorbing 11 sacks the previous two weeks. The Rams have a makeshift line, featuring three replacements.
Turnovers key in 49ers' 20-14 victory - 11/20/2006Source: NFL.com
For a few gut-wrenching moments, Frank Gore thought his fumble had ruined it all. The best game of his career, the 49ers' biggest upset bid in years -- it was all in the San Francisco defense's hands against the defending conference champs.
Yet the defense didn't drop the ball, stuffing the Seattle Seahawks over and over again in the final minutes of a watershed win for a long-suffering franchise that finally might be on the rise again.
Gore rushed for a team-record 212 yards, and San Francisco's maligned defense stopped Shaun Alexander and the Seahawks three times in the final 4½ minutes of the 49ers' third straight victory, 20-14.
Gore broke Charlie Garner's team record of 201 yards on a 17-yard romp in the final seconds, but only after he fumbled to give Seattle (6-4) its second last-minute chance. He had no reason to worry: Even Alexander and Matt Hasselbeck at full strength would have had trouble against this inspired unit.
Though Gore was chastened by his sole blunder, he shared his teammates' good feelings about the brightest day in years around fog-shrouded Candlestick Park.
"We want to let everybody know the 49ers are coming on," said Gore, who didn't practice until Friday after getting a concussion in last week's win at Detroit. "I haven't had 200 yards since high school. Our offensive line doesn't get any respect, so we've been saying we've got to get it ourselves."
Alex Smith passed for 163 yards, threw a TD pass and rushed for another score for the 49ers (5-5), who went scoreless in the second half, yet still hung on to snap a six-game losing streak against their NFC West rivals. Arnaz Battle caught a TD pass as San Francisco jumped to a 20-0 halftime lead in what coach Mike Nolan thought was its best performance in his two seasons.
Lions play gracious hosts, hand game to 49ers - 11/13/2006Source: Detroit News
Throw away the party hats. Stab a cocktail fork in the balloons.
Take down the Honolulu blue and silver decorations, and hang the black crepe instead.
The celebration ended on the Lions' turnaround before it shifted into second gear.
On the way to respectability, the Lions bumped into their own reality Sunday afternoon in a 19-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers at Ford Field.
It was a game the Lions could have won, should have won, expected to win -- and lost.
They handed the game to the 49ers with a turnover-prone offense and a defense that made tackling look like a lost art form.
For anyone who thought the Lions cannot stand success, the result was predictable. And for those who thought they had turned the corner with last week's 30-14 victory over the Atlanta Falcons and would begin a winning streak, shame on you for believing.
The Lions remain what they have been for this entire century -- inconsistent, except when it comes to losing. They never seem to run out of ways to lose.
There was nothing novel about Sunday's loss. It left the Lions with a 2-7 record and an even firmer hold on last place in the NFC North, with Minnesota and Green Bay tied for second with 4-5 records.
The Lions play at Arizona Sunday. The game will have more impact on next year's draft order than it will on the standings.
San Francisco gained 315 yards to 251 for the Lions and controlled the ball for almost 39 minutes.
The Lions gave up 148 rushing yards to Frank Gore in the first half. He finished with 159. The Lions lost three fumbles and an interception while getting the ball back once, on a fumble recovery in the third quarter.
But beyond the stats is the larger issue confronting the Lions. Building a winning streak -- even two games in a row -- is beyond them.
"You get to a certain point," said quarterback Jon Kitna. "There are those hump games, those pivotal moments in a season. We've got to put something together.
"If you do things two weeks in a row, then you get on a roll. Then you do the things that winning teams do.
"We're not there right now."
Gore, 49ers have enough for 19-13 win - 11/12/2006Source: NFL.com
The San Francisco 49ers backed up their talk and prevented the Detroit Lions from doing the same.
San Francisco kept Detroit in the game with missed opportunities, then made just enough plays for a rare two-game winning streak and its first road win.
Frank Gore set a franchise record with 148 yards rushing in the first half and scored on a 61-yard run before leaving with a concussion, and Joe Nedney made all four of his field-goal attempts to give the 49ers a 19-13 victory.
Keith Lewis intercepted Jon Kitna 's pass at the 49ers' 2 with 2½ minutes left and San Francisco (4-5) picked up the one first down it needed to seal the game, winning consecutive games for the second time since 2003.
"A lot of the talk for us this week was to create a streak and to win on the road, two things we haven't had," San Francisco coach Mike Nolan said. "I'd like to think it's a turning point."
The Lions (2-7) had a chance to win consecutive games for the first time in nearly 26 months and the third time since 2001, when Matt Millen took control of the franchise. Despite the lack of success, some players were bold enough to talk about winning four in a row after beating Atlanta by 16 points last week.
49ers outlast Vikings 9-3 in sloppy game - 11/06/2006Source: NFL.com
At the two-minute warning, coach Mike Nolan gathered the San Francisco 49ers ' defensive players and let them have it.
"It's up to you right now to win this game," Nolan said. "It's on you right now. I'm not calling any timeouts, not saving any time. Guys, it'll go down to the very last play. It's on you."
To the surprise of everybody who wasn't wearing the 49ers' throwback uniforms, a much-maligned defense proved capable of lifting that burden.
Joe Nedney kicked his third field goal with 7:15 to play, and San Francisco shut out the Minnesota Vikings in the final three quarters of a 9-3 victory.
Thanks to Nedney's strong leg -- and his lobbying efforts, which helped San Francisco to get a second shot at its final field goal -- the 49ers (3-5) had just enough offense to back a shocking performance by their defense, which had allowed 150 points in its last four games.
San Francisco managed just 133 total yards with its own miserable offense, but got cohesive play from the same unit that gave up 41 points by halftime last week at Chicago. The Niners simplified their game plan and hung on, stopping Minnesota's final drive with 1:04 left.
"Statistics are important, but they don't say everything about you," linebacker Brandon Moore said. "Nobody is going to come out of the stands and help us win a game. It's going to have to come from us."
49ers beat cross-water rival Raiders 34-20 - 10/08/2006Source: NFL.com
Arnaz Battle caught two touchdown passes from Alex Smith, and the 49ers overcame Randy Moss ' 100th career TD reception with a strong second half in a 34-20 victory over the winless Oakland Raiders.
Frank Gore rushed for a career-high 134 yards and third-string running back Maurice Hicks scored on a 33-yard screen pass for the rebuilding 49ers (2-3) as they rebounded emphatically from last week's 41-0 loss at Kansas City. They also overcame a halftime deficit against the Raiders (0-4), who added another discouraging loss to their streak of 10 straight.
Walt Harris made three of San Francisco's four interceptions, and the Niners scored 24 straight points after halftime to roll past their cross-water rivals in just the iconic franchises' 11th regular-season meeting.
Smith went 15 of 19 for 165 yards in the 2005 No. 1 pick's fourth victory as a starter in the Niners' last seven games. Gore had another outstanding game, also picking up 38 yards on three catches -- and for the first time this season, he didn't fumble.
Notes: Oakland leads the series 6-5. ... San Francisco LT Jonas Jennings sat out parts of the game with a sprained wrist ... Courtney Anderson caught a TD pass from Tuiasosopo with 6:23 to play, just the second TD throw of the six-year backup's career.
Can the Packers follow lead of mighty 49ers? - 10/08/2006Source: PackersNews.com
At the end of one quarter, it's Opponents 115, Packers 67.
In three of four games, the Packers have been outplayed, out-coached and outscored. Too bad they can't outsource today's noon game against the St. Louis Rams to an NFC power like San Francisco.
The 49ers upset the Rams 20-13 on Sept. 17 at Monster Park in San Francisco. They committed just two penalties, one turnover and zero defensive lapses. They racked up six sacks and surrendered none. They held St. Louis to a paltry 147 yards passing.
Given the Rams' offensive firepower and the 49ers' overall ineptitude, the question is how? The answer is Frank Gore. The 49ers' running back sounds like he should be starring in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" rather than the NFL. Don't be fooled. Gore rushed 29 times for 127 yards and a touchdown while tearing up the Rams.
Back in the day, that was business as usual for Ahman Green.
Today, it is wishful thinking.
Niners reeling backward after shutout loss - 10/03/2006Source: ESPN
The San Francisco 49ers are back to normal, and that's no good.
Their encouraging start to coach Mike Nolan's second season came to a crashing halt in a 41-0 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, just the once-powerful franchise's second shutout loss in 454 games since 1977.
Niners RB Gore expected to play, but TE Davis out - 09/25/2006Source: ESPN
The San Francisco 49ers got good news about running back Frank Gore and confirmed bad news about tight end Vernon Davis on Monday.
Gore is expected to be in the 49ers' lineup at Kansas City on Sunday despite bruised ribs that sidelined him in the third quarter of their loss to Philadelphia. Davis, the sixth overall pick in the draft, will be out four weeks with a broken bone in his right leg.
Fantasy Impact: Gore owners were given a scare when RB Michael Robinson got the carries after his goal line fumble, but he was out with a minor abdominal strain. The news for Davis' owners was worse. Those people should consider just cutting bait if they haven't already.
Eagles dominate 49ers from all angles - 09/24/2006Source: NFL.com
Mike Patterson finished his stunning 98-yard fumble return at a walk, easing his 292 pounds into the end zone.
After an outstanding effort in San Francisco, the Philadelphia Eagles deserved a little rest -- especially the big guy.
Brian Westbrook rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns, also catching a scoring pass from Donovan McNabb in the Eagles' 38-24 victory over the 49ers on Sunday.
McNabb passed for 296 yards and Reggie Brown caught five passes for 106 yards as the Eagles (2-1) shook off last week's embarrassing collapse against the Giants, emphatically protecting a huge lead this time with 416 yards of sharp offense.
And one kooky fumble return that will live for years on highlight reels.
Patterson, Philadelphia's genial run-stopping defensive tackle, seized an unlikely moment when Frank Gore fumbled while trying to stretch over a goal-line pile of players in the third quarter.
Patterson scooped the ball out of the pile and lumbered away, getting to midfield before most of the Niners realized it. He eventually walked over the line for the longest scoring fumble return in Eagles history, surpassing a 32-year-old record.
The Niners also lost Gore, who fumbled at the goal line last week as well, and tight end Vernon Davis to injuries on the play.
Alex Smith passed for 293 yards and rookie Michael Robinson scored two touchdowns for the 49ers (1-2), but their good vibe from last week's victory over St. Louis evaporated in a cloud of offensive mistakes and missed tackles.
San Francisco was booed at halftime, but finally got in the end zone after Patterson's record run. Bryan Gilmore's 75-yard catch set up Robinson's 1-yard dive - the former Penn State quarterback's first NFL score.
Big plays help 49ers beat Rams 20-13 - 09/17/2006Source: NFL.com
When Antonio Bryant heard the next play call, he stuck his head in the San Francisco 49ers' huddle and yelled something foolish.
"Meet me in the end zone," the receiver told his offensive line.
That would've been downright hilarious from a member of last season's woeful 49ers -- but then Bryant made a 72-yard touchdown catch, keying San Francisco's 20-13 victory over the St. Louis Rams.
The 49ers' defense also looked tougher than most expected, sacking Marc Bulger six times and holding strong in the final minutes of San Francisco's second straight home-opening win over its oldest rival.
Though the postgame scene wasn't nearly as festive as the back-slapping, handshaking party after last season's opening win, coach Mike Nolan again sees progress from his club. Alex Smith passed for 233 yards and Frank Gore rushed for 127 -- including a 32-yard score -- as the 49ers (1-1) followed up a narrow loss at Arizona last week with a cohesive victory.
The Rams (1-1) have abandoned the "Greatest Show on Turf" offense that tormented the Niners for so many years -- and they've scored just one touchdown in their first two games under new coach Scott Linehan.
Steven Jackson rushed for 103 yards, but mistakes and big stops limited the Rams to three points and 118 yards in the second half.
Niners left guard Allen to miss least two games - 09/12/2006Source: ESPN
San Francisco left guard Larry Allen is expected to miss at least two games with an injured knee ligament, while left tackle Jonas Jennings could play for the 49ers on Sunday despite his sprained ankle.
Fantasy Impact: Allen is the best lineman that San Francisco has, and his loss could mean cause RB Frank Gore and QB Alex Smith to struggle.

Patient: I was told to have CKD, and my Creatinine Level in the blood is out of the normal range, but just a littler higher than the normal value. Is that serious?
Doctor: Yes, it is serious because creatinine level in our blood does not increase at all if there are mild kidney damages.
Creatinine is a kind of end product of our body and the level of them in the blood is kept in a stable range in normal condition. Extra creatinine is secreted by our kidneys, so when kidney damages appear, creatinine level in the blood increases; however, usually only when at least a half of kidneys are damaged, can creatinin level increases.
Although your creatinine level is slightly high now, your kidneys actually have been damaged seriously. If you do not receive effective treatment, your creatinine level will increase little by little and finally to the level that need dialysis or kidney transplant.

What started as a call to Bryan police about an abduction, ended with three men in jail after an officer used a taser.
Curtis Wayne Goosby, Donnie Ray Childs Jr., and Ryan Tremond Bisor were all arrested around 7am, Saturday.
Police originally got a call from the 1000 block of Crystal Brook, by someone who thought he was witnessing an abduction.
Officers say instead, a person had overdosed on PCP, and three black males were trying to put the person in a car.
As officers were driving to the scene, they say they met the vehicle in question, driving away.
Poice say one officer got out of the car, and pointed a gun at the suspects, but the vehicle drove around the officer, and kept going.
Police chased the vehicle to Jane Long Middle School, and then to the Oaks Apartments.
The back seat passenger, Donnie Ray Childs Jr., was tasered twice, by two officers when officers say he refused to show his hands, while being told to do so at gunpoint.
Childs was charged with tampering with evidence.
All three men were charged with manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance, and Goosby was also charged with evading arrest.

New Hampshire suffers several late winter losses
The state is diminished with the recent passing of five historic contributors
Brad Cook, a shareholder in the Manchester law firm of Sheehan Phinney Bass + Green, heads its government relations and estate planning groups. He also serves as secretary of the Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire.
February and March saw the passing of several prominent New Hampshire citizens who contributed greatly to this state and will be missed.
Jan Squires of Hollis passed away March 5. The wife of Dr. James Squires -- former gubernatorial candidate, founder of Matthew Thornton Health Plan and the leader of the Endowment for Health for many years -- was a prominent citizen of the town of Hollis, her adopted hometown. She was a delight and inspiration to all who knew her.
She grew up in New London, where her father, Eugene Austin, served on the faculty of Colby-Sawyer College (then Colby Junior College for Women) and was its second president. There she met young Jim Squires, whose father, J. Duane Squires, was a professor of history and the State Historian. Together, they have lived a life of service and contribution to New Hampshire, which should be a model for all of our citizens.
James A. Shanahan Jr., CPA, a prominent New Hampshire business and civic leader and activist, died in Florida at his winter residence.
A native of Manchester, it was noted at his funeral that all of his residences were within a mile and a half of each other in the North End of Manchester. Devoted to Central High School and Dartmouth College, his alma maters, Shanahan was a trustee of the Bean Foundation and many other philanthropic organizations, a mentor to many young people who are now senior business leaders and active in the state Democratic Party, where he urged many -- including John Lynch -- to contribute to their state.
An avid sports memorabilia collector, he spent many hours with young people, including my son James, his next door neighbor, comparing baseball cards and explaining to them the history of that game which he loved.
A quiet leader, Shanahan was a major force in New Hampshire.
Fred Kfoury Jr., himself a business leader of great note, died while on vacation in Florida of a sudden heart attack.
Longtime president of Central Paper Products, the family business, Kfoury was involved in almost every charitable activity in Manchester imaginable. He was a cheerful force for good, and his calling hours and funeral were attended by crowds of those who wished he had not left us so soon. His good, however, lives on in his family, his business and in his community.
An active Republican, Kfoury contributed much to that party, as Shanahan did to his.
William E. Arnold, former Manchester city health officer, died at age 92 after a long and distinguished life of service and contribution to Manchester and New Hampshire.
A person of great integrity, like the others mentioned in this column, Arnold was not afraid to buck injustice. Notably, when the Manchester Board of Health sought to fire him in the late 1970s, when he insisted on merit selection for school nurses and other employees, Arnold fought back in a well-publicized legal battle that went all the way to the New Hampshire Supreme Court and restored him to his job.
Warren Rudman, then in private practice with this writer, advised Arnold on his suit. Thereafter active in Rudman's campaign for the U.S. Senate, Bill Arnold and his wife Bobbi became active in the Republican Party, and Bobbi Arnold served in the New Hampshire House for a number of terms.
In retirement, Arnold continued his interest in the city, politics and such eclectic interests as opera and the arts.
Jim Finnegan of Manchester, editorial page director of the Union Leader for nearly four decades, passed away at age 82 on March 9.
For 39 years, Finnegan wrote the editorials appearing on the editorial page in the Union Leader, for a long time following the front-page diatribes by publisher William Loeb, who hired Finnegan.
Loeb passed away in 1980, and Finnegan remained the editorial writer until the mid-1990s. Finnegan was remembered by his friends and colleagues as a professional and gracious man who had fun with his adversaries without bearing animosity toward them. Whether his targets always agreed with that assessment or not can be left to others.
Finnegan's editorials were sharp and his views pointed, reflecting those of his employer. Nevertheless, Finnegan was a major New Hampshire figure, and those who knew him well marveled at his gracious manner and varied interests. A boxing fan and official, he also helped found the Opera League of New Hampshire and shared that interest with the late Robert Hilliard, the paper's sports editor and close friend of Bill Arnold, mentioned above.
In New Hampshire, a small state, the connections between people are not always apparent. Finnegan's interest in boxing led to a friendship with Bobby Stephen, a Democrat, and his interests in the arts led to a network of friends in that area.
Finnegan was remembered by many in the state and nationally, for his significant place in New Hampshire journalistic and political history.
Brad Cook, a shareholder in the Manchester law firm of Sheehan Phinney Bass + Green, heads its government relations and estate planning groups. He also serves as secretary of the Business and Industry Association of New Hampshire.

To the Editor:
We would like to thank Sheriff Dale Williams for taking on the task of investigating numerous break-ins and thefts in our area. His persistency in this investigation results in the arrest of two local men, who, to our understanding, have been charged.
In our opinion, it was due to Sheriff Williams' constant follow up and concern for what was happening in our area that led to these arrests. It was becoming a major concern for the residents in our area, with many of the residents finding it difficult to sleep at night out of concern for their safety.
We believe Carroll County is fortunate to have Sheriff Dale Williams who not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. We need more men of his caliber.

The wild budgerigar is a small, streamlined, parrot, with rounded head and small beak, pointed wings and long tail.
Head to tail length in wild budgerigars is approximately 180mm. Show standard, captive budgerigars are significantly larger, ideally at least 216mm head to tail.
Natural adult plumage has the following characteristics:
Many colour varieties have been bred in captivity - see section on Aviculture.
The budgerigar was well known to the native aboriginal peoples of Australia, and already had a number of names by the time colonists became familiar with it in the 1700s.
The species was formally described by George Shaw in1805, but specimens were still very rare in museum collections until the late 1830s. John Gould (1804–1881), whilst collecting and exploring in Australia from 1838–1840, was clearly captivated by these small parrots, referring to them as 'the most animated, cheerful little creatures you can possibly imagine'.
He collected a number of specimens, and in 1840 published the first detailed account of budgerigar behaviour in his great work Birds of Australia, where he also changed the scientific name in recognition of the species' unique characteristics.
However, Gould is best remembered by budgerigar enthusiasts for successfully importing the first live birds to Britain, also in 1840. Gould is also remembered as the ornithologist who described the famous finches of the Galapagos discovered by Charles Darwin during the voyage of the Beagle (1831–1836).
The common name budgerigar comes from one of the native aboriginal names, recorded by Gould as 'Betcherrygah', which is widely thought to mean 'good eating'.
A specimen from Gould's own collection still carries a very early label with the name 'Budjeregah'. However, early names included:
Now the most familiar name is 'budgie'.
The budgerigar is the only species within its genus - it is monotypic.
Molecular studies show that it is most closely related to 2 other unusual monotypic Australian parrots - the ground parrot, Pezoporus wallicus and the night parrot, Geopsittacus occidentalis.

Beta and I just wanted to say thank you and Merry Christmas to all our friends and Family! We did not get to see everyone this season but we are thinking about you. Hope you had a good holiday!
Getting all nuts wit my work outs. NA na, just getting ready for for hopefull big swells!
Just keeps coming.
It's been a slow season but fun none the less! Thanks to Paul Tralka of Primo for snapping a few shots of me at Rockies the other day. Paul is a champ, good buddy from NJ back in the day, smiles all the time and reps Primo hard. Also thanks for Primo for hooking up all the parties on the east side with the Lifeguards and da boys. Shoooots
My friend Tyler Harmon and I had a good little sesh at a random spot near my house! Nice to get a sesh off the NS here and there.
Got a care package in the mail from Reeflex Australia. They are working on bringing some of the best suits out there into the US and Hawaii. So support the boys they are doing great stuff for the sport and are moving into new markets such as Dive and making products for all water sports. www.reeflex.com
Also we need the support of everyone for the Wild Wave event at Fronton. It is huge test our our sports online followers. This could mean a huge deal for the sport. Lets see a good showing of veiwers people, watch it at work, call out from work to watch it, do what you need to do just go and watch it.
I had a great day today, a good empty sesh at a semi seceret wave 4 mins from where I live. It was pumping and no where near the north shore so that was a cool change of pace. Then I went to work and had a good day at Sandys with the boys. At the end of the day I was given a lei from the boys for helping in situation a week ago where a nice man was battered by the shorebreak. He is healing up well due to the boys great job and quick turn around and I was stoked I could help and be apart of it. From there I went home and found a shot of myself gracing the cover of The Pipeline a new book that documents the worlds most famous wave. Beta and I are 99.9% sure it is me as I was glued to that Body Glove top for a better part of two Hawaiian seasons. Anyhow you can vote to have a bit of fun and confirm if it is me. I am going to try and get the shot off the photog if possible as it would be sick to show the kids when I am old ,fat and grey! Chee Hoo

Why I Love TweetDeck – And Why You Should Too!
For those of you who aren't familiar, TweetDeck is a platform that helps you manage your Twitter account. It is very user friendly and has become one of my most valued resources. For newbies, it may seem to tough to understand what's going on at first. I recommend you use Google to find tools that can help, like this Twictionary.
Here are the reasons I love TweetDeck and why you should too:
Research– TweetDeck allows you to build numerous columns that revolve around keywords. For example, I search for words like management and leadership. Any Tweet by anyone that contains those words or is hash-tagged (if you add a # before a word it creates a group and you can search by these as well) appears in this column. Typically Tweets mention a subject and have a link to an article, post, or video about this topic. Do you need to research performance reviews or are you looking for ideas to retain your top talent? Do you need help developing a social media handbook? Do you want to advance your career by knowing more about your industry than anyone else? Do you want to know what people are saying about your company? Do you want to see what your competition is up to? Do you know how your company will be impacted by Healthcare Reform? Create a column and read, read, read.
Job Search– This is another area where TweetDeck is invaluable. Are you looking for a job? I built a column called human resources and realized quickly that it wasn't going to serve my purpose very well because it is non-stop Tweets announcing job openings. We're talking 100's of them a day! I'm not looking for a job, but if I were, I would create columns for every opening I would ever consider and see what pops up. I haven't tried it, but I believe you can narrow the search by city, too. Even without that, I have seen openings right down the street from me.
It Runs All The Time – When you minimize it, you will get a little black box that flashes whenever a new Tweet appears relevant to any of your columns. It takes a second to skim it and see if it's worth clicking on a link to check out an article but you don't have to go to a website every hour to see what you've missed. You can ignore it if you're busy with something else or take little breaks from your current project to read some valuable info. It also makes a really cool, zingy sound when a Tweet comes in, but that's beside the point.
It Has Not Screwed Up My Computer (Yet) – I'm always nervous to install and download new things, but this was a piece of cake and so far I haven't seen any ill effects from using it.
It's Really Just Fun! – You can learn about whatever you want but I will tell you, there are some seriously witty people on Twitter! One of my columns is Severance. Can you imagine the Tweets I was reading when Tony Hayward's package was announced? Hilarious. And even though you feel stupid laughing out loud at your desk, you don't feel stupid enough to stop. Tweets are only 140 characters so it's kind of like hearing a one-liner multiple times throughout the day. I actually think it improves my mood.
It's Great If You're Not Into Social Media- TweetDeck is a perfect social media tool for people who want nothing to do with social media. If you aren't ready to join a bunch of networks and start gathering friends, followers, or connections, you can just watch. It's entirely up to you whether you jump in and play or sit on the sidelines. But while you're watching, you're reaping the rewards that are out there simply because a bazillion people want to provide value for each other.

Parents Lead By Example in Carnage
By Paul Friswold
The new book begins where 1995's American Tabloid left off: with John Kennedy's assassins--mobsters, G-men, bagmen, lowlifes--waiting for the "big fucking scream" that would, soon enough, rip through the streets of downtown Dallas and far, far beyond. A Vegas cop named Wayne Tedrow Jr. has been sent to Dallas to off a black pimp. Tedrow doesn't think he can carry out the hit. He's a good cop born from a bad seed: His father is a violent racist, tight with powerful men. In time, Junior becomes a more vicious man than his father, because he knows better. Junior's a small-timer whose actions have enormous ramifications, but those are the kind of men who fascinate Ellroy: the insignificant men who shape and control our history. They carry out what the author calls his theme of "the private nightmare of public policy"; he also refers to it as "the human infrastructure of public policy."
There are other small men in The Cold Six Thousand, which moves from Dallas to the casinos of Las Vegas to the bushes of Vietnam to bombed-out churches in Birmingham to the waters off Cuba's shores to dark offices in D.C. FBI man Ward Littell, who first appeared in American Tabloid, works for Howard Hughes and J. Edgar Hoover. Last time around, he had been blackmailed to safeguard the Mob's interest in Vegas. But he's always been a liberal with a conscience, a smart and civilized man among the thugs of power. In The Cold Six Thousand, he tries to manipulate Hoover into aiding the civil-rights movement. Like all of Ellroy's heroes who realize their sins too late, Littell is doomed. So is Pete Bondurant, the casual racist who does shitwork for the Mob, sells smack to blacks and wanders too deep into the muck. All three men pay to play their roles in history. They lose their souls, and if they find them at all, it's usually too late--for them, for the country.
Ellroy's books don't just present an alternative history; they don't take place in make-believe parallel worlds that merely resemble our own. They proffer instead a secret history made up of whispers, shadows, all the dirty shit you suspect but never mention out loud, maybe out of fear it will take shape and kill you in your sleep. His are the novels of the profane and paranoid: Don DeLillo's J.F.K. conspiracy-fiction Libra (Ellroy's inspiration for the first two books of this so-called Underworld U.S.A. trilogy) taken to its wildest extreme. If his earlier books were an attempt to answer what he called "the fucking why"--Why was his mother killed? Why is there such corruption and evil in this world?--then American Tabloid and The Cold Six Thousand wonder only about the hows: How did we get here? How do we move beyond our sins?
"I accumulate the detail toward answering the why, but there will never be an answer to that question for me," Ellroy says. "When I talk about the wake of my mother's death and becoming fiendishly curious about L.A.'s criminal and social history, I am seeking the answer to why my mother was killed, but there is no answer. There's only the accumulation of detail. It's not as if I will ever be able to shape these things into a snappy epigram, and I wouldn't want it that way. When this career of mine is ended many years from now and I have fulfilled, to whatever degree, my mandate to re-create 20th-century American history through fiction, then hopefully the books will be read as obsessively as I've written them, and in the aggregate, people will point out themes and motifs that will serve to answer this question.
"I am far more interested in the question of what have we done, because it is answerable. A good example of this is all the brouhaha that attended the passing of the millennium and what a softball nature it was. It was all about going back to revisit our great victories in World War II. What does that get us? What about the flip side of this? What about all the shitty, cowardly, self-interested, jive, imperialistic, rapacious shit America's pulled around the world throughout the American 20th century? Why aren't we examining that so that we don't repeat this in the 21st century? It was said that Dashiell Hammett gave murder back to the people who really perpetrated it, and what I would like to say that I've done with the novel of realistic intrigue is to give it back to the key specific 20th-century perpetrators who are these goons of the American system."
Ellroy started writing because he had no choice. He had absorbed so many noir novels during his childhood that he needed some way to vomit them out. And then there was his mother. And he was in love with a dead woman: Elizabeth Short, both pieces of her. Short was a Massachusetts beauty queen with big-screen daydreams who moved to Los Angeles in the mid-1940s, posed for glamour-girl pics, then wound up bisected in a vacant lot in January 1947. The cops came up empty, just as they would when Ellroy's own mother was found. Short, known as The Black Dahlia, was a drunk, a fuck-around--a shadow in a dark room. Ellroy would write about her, too, in 1987; he considers The Black Dahlia his breakthrough book. It would lead to three more about the nasty underside of Los Angeles in the 1940s and '50s, the books that constituted his L.A. Quartet: The Big Nowhere, about Commie-haters and killers; L.A. Confidential, which told of three cops looking for their souls beneath a cover-up; and White Jazz, about Dave "The Enforcer" Klein, a cop with a hard-on for beatings and shakedowns.

Apr. 24, 2013 @ 11:48 AM
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia University is losing more than $13 million in state funding for the next academic year.
President Jim Clements says the university's state funding was reduced by 8.9 percent, the full amount expected.
He says WVU officials are looking at areas to determine which can be strategically affected by the cut.
The university also has created a website seeking revenue-generating or cost saving ideas.
The Dominion Post reports that Clements' comments came Monday during a Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting.

Standardization and Migration Effort
The level of standardization you have as well as the level you want has a direct impact on your migration effort.
For example if your content is currently inconsistent, and you don't care about consistency after your transformation, then the migration is easy. For example, if your data tables each are presented entirely different on each page but you don't care, then migrating is easy. On the other hand, of course if you have high consistency now and want high consistency after the transformation then that is easy, even if you want transformations along the way. The hard part (and it is often worth it!) is when you currently have inconsistency but want to have a more standard approach going forward.
This also has an impact on your inventory effort as well, since if you don't care about the resulting consistency then the inventory may not need to be as accurate for your planning.

Published May 23, 2010
Cody Larson will take the Sioux Falls Arena stage today to receive his high school diploma, ending a four-month ordeal that nearly derailed a promising basketball career.
The Roosevelt senior was suspended from the Rough Riders in late February for illegalities involving the prescription painkiller Hydrocodone, and criminal charges followed earlier this month.
On Friday, Larson was sentenced to 120 days suspended jail time and two years' probation for inhabiting a room where drugs are knowingly kept and used. He must also complete counseling and work at the Banquet three nights a week before leaving for the University of Florida on June 19.
Larson will also return to Sioux Falls next year to speak to high school students about how his legal struggles have changed his outlook on life.
There is much to talk about for a typically quiet 18-year-old, who has been at the center of controversy in Sioux Falls while also impacting the national college basketball scene.
Larson, a 6-foot-9 forward known for his explosive dunks, requested and was granted a release from Iowa after the school fired coach Todd Lickliter on March 15.
That led to a fresh recruiting frenzy, which ended when Larson verbally committed to Florida while visiting Gainesville on April 20.
Through it all, the humbled hoop star has stayed mainly silent, especially concerning the details of his suspension, which ended his senior season.
But Larson sat down for an exclusive hour-long interview with the Argus Leader on Saturday, hoping to shed some light on his ordeal while also reaching for closure.
"The biggest lesson of my life," he calls it. That's probably an understatement.
Pill problems
Your world changed on Monday, Feb. 22, when you found out you had been accused of sharing pills with a teammate. What do you remember about that day?
I was having a meeting with my coach, and (administrators) came in afterward and told me they wanted to talk to me. They flat-out asked me what was going on and asked if I had given (my teammate) a pill. Right away I knew what they were talking about, and I said, 'Yeah, I gave him some Hydrocodone because he was having ankle problems.'
They left the room for a half-hour while I sat there, and then they came back in and told me I was going to be suspended.
Did they say how long you would be sidelined?
My actual suspension was up until the state tournament, so I could have played in the state tournament. But Coach (Lee) Taylor made a decision that he didn't want me and (my teammate) on the team anymore. We were basically isolated from the team and didn't have any communication with our teammates, which was hard, because a lot of my good friends were my teammates.
Is it true that your suspension was stiffer because of a drinking violation that occurred last summer?
Yeah, it was early August when I got that. I was at a house party when it happened. That made the suspension a little longer.
Are you concerned that people see a couple different things pop up and think, 'There must be a pattern with this kid?'
In all honesty, ever since I had my drinking incident, that's when (my teammate) and I started hanging out together, and that's when we discovered the pills. We would take the pills and hang out at our houses while everyone else was out partying, because we were trying to stay away from that scene. It's unfortunate than it turned out worse than it should have.
The Hydrocodone was left over from what was prescribed when you had knee surgery in April of 2009 - is that right?
Yes. I actually didn't even know I had any until my mom mentioned that I had some left over, because she had some from her own surgery recently. That's when I sort of discovered them for my sprained ankle, and they helped tremendously. They allowed me to play.
They were prescribed for your knee but you were taking them for your ankle?
Yeah, and the whole thing started when (my teammate) knew that I had a really bad ankle sprain and saw me take these pills. His shins were hurting him so bad - he has shin splints - so I said, 'Try these - they really help.' He took some, and they really helped him too.
Did you realize at the time that it was wrong to take pills without a prescription or to share them with others?
No, because we had never learned about it. I didn't know it was illegal at all. You think it's just like sharing some Tylenol or ibuprofen, and that's the way I looked at it. It didn't hit me until I got suspended that it was actually illegal to do this.
Your attorney mentioned "recreational use" of the drug. Can you explain that?
Our mindset was, we would take them and our shins and ankles would feel better, and it felt good at the same time. We would just hang out in the basement and watch movies, and that's when we would take them. But we didn't have the sole mindset of, 'We're going to take these pills and get a good high off them.'
They can be very addictive, though.
Yeah, I learned that during (counseling).
You don't walk around now saying, 'I wish I had a pill'?
(Laughs). No. I'm done.
Do you think there needs to be more education so kids understand the potential dangers of prescription drugs?
Now that I've seen what can happen and what it can do, there's no doubt that people need to realize how severe it is. From what I've learned, it's becoming more of a problem than marijuana. I also found out about these 'pharm parties' where you put a bunch of pills in a bucket and take them, and stuff like that is just crazy. People need to understand that prescription pills have the same consequences as other drugs that you hear about.
I've had adults come up to me, and say, 'I've shared pills with my wife,' or 'I've shared pills with my best friend,' or 'I would have given you mine.' Even adults don't know sometimes.
Are you worried that if you get prescribed painkillers for an injury in the future, you won't be able to handle it properly?
No, because I wasn't by any means addicted. I never took more than the recommended dosage. Two pills was the max that I ever took. Especially now, there's no way I would let anything like that affect me in a negative way.
The fallout
Roosevelt's basketball team went on to reach the state tournament, nearly knocking off eventual champion O'Gorman and finishing fifth. What was most difficult about being separated from the team?
It was hard just walking into the school. A police investigation is going on, I'm off the team, and I can't talk to my friends...
So you weren't allowed to even speak to your teammates?
My teammates were asked not to talk to me because it would interfere with the season.
Did you root for the Rough Riders at that point?
It was hard. I'm not going to lie to you. It was hard to cheer for them, but at the same time I did want them to win and make it to state. It was kind of a bittersweet thing, but I was always cheering for them because they're my friends and I had been with them for four years. It was hard to see them lose, and it was hard to see them win at times.
It was during this time that Iowa fired coach Todd Lickliter, which put your college basketball future under doubt as well.
We had no idea what would happen with the investigation, and on top of that, my coach gets fired, so it's just all this stuff coming at me and no closure on anything. It was easily the most stressful time of my life. It was a struggle.
You could make the argument that Lickliter's firing helped you, because it gave you an excuse to leave the Hawkeyes - who are clearly struggling - and become a free agent.
It kind of helped with the whole legal issue. When he did get fired, a lot of my attention was turned to my recruitment, and it got my mind off it at times. It was interesting to go through the (recruiting) process again.
Off to Florida
In addition to Iowa, which tried to re-recruit you, you had offers from Florida, Kansas, Arizona State, New Mexico, Indiana, Ohio State, Clemson and Michigan, among others. What was it about Billy Donovan's home visit that sold you on the Gators?
My whole family was there along with close friends, and everyone had the same impression when he left. He came in and was very humble and down-to-earth. It felt like I was talking to my best friend - it didn't seem like a business meeting. That's one of the things I was looking for.
It had to be reassuring for you, after everything that happened, that elite programs such as Florida and Kansas still wanted you to play for them.
It felt great. Everybody was pretty much deciding where they wanted to go, and I was one of the last ones on the market. But it does give you a sense of, 'Hey, I'm wanted again.' It did feel good at times.
Mitchell's Mike Miller made an immediate impact when he went to Florida more than a decade ago, leading the Gators to the 2000 NCAA finals. Did you get a sense of what your role will be as a freshman?
That's all up to me. We're returning our starting five and are basically a top-10 preseason team. It's a different program than when Mike first went there, but I just need to continue to work hard and see what happens.
Was Miller able to advise you at all as you weighed your college options?
I talked to Mike during the recruiting process, and also the night I verbally committed. He was very happy for me. There's always going to be that comparison between us, but we're completely different players. He just kind of set the bar high for me, which is a good thing.
What do you need to do to get better as a player?
When I got suspended, I had that whole month of March, so I went to the gym to work on my shot a couple of hours a day. My (outside) shot has developed very well; it's a hundred times better than it was during the season. I just need to continue to work on that and play relaxed and with confidence.
Coach Donovan says he's going to turn you into a 3-point shooter.
When I went down to Florida and played with the guys, I hit like three 3-pointers in a row, and I had never really done that before. It just kind of gave me that confidence that my jump shot was coming around. Of course, now everybody down there thinks I'm a shooter, so I have to live up to that.
Second chances
While all this was going on, were you scared at times that you might have messed up your future to the point where you wouldn't be able to fix it?
You always have that worry, but I had great support from people who could help in those situations. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for those people. They gave me the confidence that I could get through this and play college basketball somewhere.
What is your response to people who say that you were highly touted from an early age, which gave you a sense of entitlement and made you a difficult teammate and a tough player to coach?
My response is just, 'Get to know me.' You can pull anyone in here who knows me and they'll tell you that I'm the complete opposite of that. You can't judge without getting to know me. A lot of people are going to say that stuff, but that's not the case.
As part of your sentence, you'll have to speak to high school kids about what you went through, and you also mentored for a fourth-grade class at Discovery Elementary as part of your curriculum at Roosevelt. Are those opportunities therapeutic for you?
Doing that stuff really helps. I really enjoyed working with the kids (at Discovery), since I couldn't really talk to anybody at my high school. Of course, one of the hardest things to do was to explain to those kids what happened - because they hear rumors and can't fully understand that stuff. I had one little girl come up and ask if I was selling drugs, and that's when I decided that I had to address the class.
Your suspended sentence means that another violation in the next two years will likely lead to jail time. Are you prepared to stay out of trouble?
With or without the two-year probation, my mindset is still the same. It's like having a net underneath me that if I ever do think about slipping up, I'll have that to think about. Even before the sentencing, my intention was to go down there with the intention of staying clean and doing anything I can to get on the court.
How are you different as a person than you were four months ago?
I see things in a better light now and have a different outlook on life. I don't have any bad temptations anymore. It's pretty easy for me to say: 'No, I'm just going to go to the gym tonight. Sorry, guys.'
Do you feel like you dodged a bullet in terms of facing all this adversity but still going through graduation and preparing for college basketball at a major university?
This incident was the biggest lesson of my life. I learned so much and talked to so many people, and I think I've grown so much from this that nothing like this is ever going to happen again. I value my future and my opportunities more now, and I'm re-focused on basketball.
I'm in the gym three hours a day, between basketball and weightlifting, and I've never been more motivated in my life. I'm ready to move on to the next chapter.

LAKE GEORGE - A soldier who grew up in Queensbury and Lake George was killed in combat June 15 in eastern Afghanistan - and his friends and area community leaders expressed grief this week over the news.
Benjamin Osborn, 27, a 2002 graduate of Lake George High School, was recalled as a friendly, giving person - who decided to make a positive difference in the world through volunteering to serve in the U.S. Army.
Friday, while his parents and other family members were in Dover, Md. to escort his remains home, New York State Gov. David Paterson issued an order for flags on state government buildings to be flown at half mast.
Osborn, an Army Specialist, died of wounds he sustained when his unit was attacked by small arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades in Konar, Afghanistan. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division.
"All New Yorkers grieve today with the friends, family and fellow soldiers of Specialist Osborn," Paterson stated. "On behalf of all New Yorkers I extend our condolences - But while we mourn his loss, we will honor and remember his service to our nation. He will not be forgotten."
Osborn had just married Nicole LaPier of South Glens Falls in February, and the two had been living in Clarksville, Tenn.
Osborn had lived on Ridge Rd. with his parents in the Town of Queensbury, but he attended Lake George schools, and upon graduation held jobs in Lake George Village.
Osborn's family members said Benjamin joined the U.S. Army three years ago and left the states in April to go to Afghanistan.
They said Benjamin was killed by gunfire after his squad came under heavy fire and Benjamin volunteered to be the gunner.
Lake George Town Supervisor Frank McCoy said he knew Osborn after graduation when he worked as a bartender at the Lobster Pot Restaurant and Mario's Restaurant, and McCoy would visit the establishments.
