Josh Beckett did not speak like a man amidst the greatest run of his pitching career. His statements were riddled with self-criticism as he attempted to offer praise to anyone but himself.
Beckett dominated Oakland on Tuesday for his 10th win of the season. He gave up two runs and six hits (two of them infield dinks) in 6.2 innings, getting 15 of his 20 outs via groundball or strikeout.
And yet, in a performance that had Red Sox manager Terry Francona describing him as "one of the best" and "fearless," and that had A's skipper Bob Geren calling him "one of the elite pitchers in the league," Beckett held himself to a different standard. When an infield single chased him from the game with two outs and two on in the seventh, Beckett shouted his displeasure at the world, his frustration with a bad outcome on a good pitch.
As for the rest of his outing, here are Beckett's self-assessments:
"I made some mistakes. I got away with a few mistakes."
"I didn't think my curveball was exceptionally sharp, but I threw it when I needed to."
"I didn't really think my sinker was very good today. … I guess I didn't think it was that good tonight. I got some groundballs on some changeups and cutters."
Clearly, Beckett is no glory hog. But if he wanted to be one, he would have grounds upon which to do so.
The 2007 season stands as the basis of comparison for Beckett's dominance, at least during the regular season. He went 20-7 with a 3.27 ERA, came in second in A.L. Cy Young voting. But in many respects, what he is doing now is even more impressive.
Since a two-start hiccup at the end of April, Beckett is now 8-1 with a 2.38 ERA in his last 12 starts. In his last nine starts, he has been even better, with just a 1.68 ERA.
"Obviously, I blew it in April," Beckett said of his 2-2 record and 7.22 ERA at the end of the season's first month. "But I feel like I've had a good couple of months, really getting back on track."
In many respects, he has been just as good a pitcher as he was in 2007. In some respects, he has been better.
The fact that the Oakland hitters could not hit the ball in the air against him offered one demonstration of the notion. More than at any point in his career, Beckett is getting hitters to pound the ball into the ground, resulting not only in his highest career groundball-to-flyball ratio (1.43:1), but also explaining how opponents are slugging a paltry .358 against him (5th lowest in the A.L.).
Beckett has been using a sinking two-seam fastball, particularly to left-handers, to complement a changeup and curve that have both proven effective at getting groundballs. He is employing more weapons to deny batters solid contact than he did even in his best previous season.
"If you look back to '07, he was down in the (strike) zone like he's been now. He's been extremely powerful," said pitching coach John Farrell. "Even when we were in spring training and we saw the first two bullpens healthy, we expected another strong year for him.
"He might be better (than he was in 2007) in terms of using the two-seamer into left-handers late in the count. We would hope that he's better for all that he's experienced the last two years…He drives himself to set a standard for himself as far as being a key member of our rotation, setting a tone with the competitive nature he has."
Beckett's numbers at this point (10-3, 3.62 ERA) are fairly close to what he did in the first half of '07 (12-2, 3.44). Following a 2008 season in which he was never able to develop a consistent rhythm while facing a litany of injuries, he has re-established himself as one of the foremost pitchers in the American League, something that was confirmed when A.L. players elected him to the All-Star team.
"It's great. Obviously, we strive for that in the first part of the year," said Beckett. "It's nice to be voted in by peers. … I really take pride in that."
So, it would appear that Josh Beckett can, on occasion, take a compliment. Here are four other things we learned from the Red Sox' 5-2 victory over the Athletics (RECAP):
Obviously, Jason Bay had been in a slump. He had gone 11 straight games without a longball -- his longest such streak as a member of the Red Sox -- and 48 at-bats since going deep against Nats starter John Lannan on June 23.
But Bay ended that with a majestic blast in the bottom of the second, and in the process, offered a reminder about his elite power-hitting standing in the game.
The mash was Bay's 20th of the year, making him one of five major leaguers who has hit at least 20 homers in every season since 2004 (when Bay won Rookie of the Year honors). The others on that list are Albert Pujols, Adam Dunn, Jermaine Dye and Mark Teixeira.
Perhaps more importantly for the Sox, Bay suggests that over the past couple of days, he has started to rediscover the feeling that made him, perhaps, the Most Valuable Player in the American League through the first couple months of the season.
Bay went 2-for-3 with a homer, double, walk and two steals (his first multi-steal game since April 12, 2006). The performance was in stark contrast to his prior 17 games, when he hit .172 with a .239 OBP and .536 OPS.
"I knew (the slump) wasn't going to last forever," said Bay. "I'm always reluctant to pronounce a slump or a rough patch over. But today definitely felt like the first couple months of the season for me, where things were just kind of happening without forcing it."
Jonathan Papelbon has never read "Moneyball," and so he has never taken much time to think about what the Athletics did in the 2002 draft. But the Red Sox closer is aware of part of Oakland's activities that year, since he was taken out of Mississippi State by the A's in the 40th round that summer.
Papelbon, then the Bulldogs' closer, was a draft-eligible sophomore. The A's liked his makeup and were impressed by his fastball, but Papelbon admitted that he was raw and had no intention of turning pro "unless I had been a first or second rounder."
"I wasn't ready to go, man," said Papelbon.
Now, of course, he is ready to go to St. Louis for his fourth straight year as an All-Star game, solidifying his credentials as one of the best closers in the game. Last year, Papelbon became ensnared in controversy when the game was hosted at Yankee Stadium because of his statement that he'd like to close in Mariano Rivera's home park.
(Papelbon later clarified that he was merely suggesting that he always wanted to close, but that he planned to defer any game-ending lead to Rivera. The matter became moot when the game went 15 innings, and the A.L. won in walk-off fashion.)
This year, Papelbon says that he would love to be the man on the mound in the ninth inning, with the opportunity to close out a victory and guarantee his league home-field advantage in the World Series.
"Of course I want to close (the All-Star game). Every closer there is going to want to close. There's no difference (among them)," said Papelbon. "But (Rays manager Joe Maddon, the A.L. All-Star Game manager) is going to make the decision there."
Papelbon has been tremendously effective in 2009 even though he has seemed, at times, less overpowering than in past years. On Tuesday, however, he turned in one of his most impressive outings of the year.
Papelbon recorded his 21st save of the year by striking out the side (while allowing one hit) and saw his ERA drop to 1.70 with a scoreless ninth. Each strikeout came on a 96-mph fastball.
While Papelbon has had slightly lower strikeout numbers this year than in the past, it is worth noting that he has now struck out the side in three different innings this year, matching his career high in any single season. Papelbon has now struck out the side exactly three times in each of his four seasons as a closer.
Papelbon will receive a $50,000 bonus from the Red Sox for his participation in the All-Star game, as will Beckett, Dustin Pedroia, Tim Wakefield and Kevin Youkilis. Jason Bay, who signed his current deal while with the Pirates, will receive a $25,000 bonus.
Athletics left-hander Dana Eveland allowed four runs, in the process permitting more baserunners (9) than he recorded outs (8). The Sox jumped on him in sufficiently convincing pattern that Oakland ended up designating the pitcher for assignment following his one-game call-up.
The Sox had been completely handcuffed by a couple of impressive young left-handed starters lately. Most notably, it was A's starter Brett Anderson who fired a complete-game two-hit shutout against the Sox on Monday. That came just five days after the team had been dazzled by Brad Bergeson of the Orioles, who limited Boston to one run on four hits over eight innings.
Those games notwithstanding, however, the Sox have actually been quite good this year against left-handed pitchers. On the year, the Sox are 19-11 in games started against left-handers, good for a .633 winning percentage that is better than the team's record (31-22, .585) in games started by right-handers.
Red Sox manager Terry Francona wanted to be with his wife for the birth of their first daughter, Alyssa, on April 11, 1987. He inquired with Reds manager Pete Rose about whether it would be possible to do so. He was told that he could go to join his wife and daughter, so long as he had no intention of rejoining his ballclub.
And so, Francona played on April 11 and again on April 12 before getting to see Alyssa for the first time when the Reds had an off-day, on April 13. (Francona, it is worth noting, went 0-for-16 and 1-for-30 following his daughter's birth that year.)
"My wife is still mad at me, 22 years later. That's just the way it was," said Francona. "It never really made sense to me. When I was born, my dad didn't get to see me for a couple weeks because that was their next off-day. … Times have changed."
And so it was that when Dustin Pedroia's wife, Kelli, went into labor prematurely on Monday, the second baseman was encouraged to go to the hospital. He actually returned to the park at the insistence of his wife, but Francona told him that it was more important that he spend time attending to his family than being at the ballpark.
Kelli Pedroia is seven months pregnant, and so she will remain in the hospital while being treated in hopes of delaying the delivery for as long as possible. Dustin Pedroia spent Monday night in his wife's hospital room, where he curled uncomfortably on a bed. ("It's a good thing I'm small," he joked.)
Both wife and child-to-be were responding to the care of the doctors, and so Dustin Pedroia felt comfortable returning to Fenway to play on Tuesday. Pedroia went 1-for-3 with a walk, and, more importantly, had the reassurance that he will be able to return to be with his wife and family whenever necessary.
"Playing these games, we have a responsibility. At the same time, when it's time not to be here, you've got to go do what you're supposed to do," said Francona. "I feel like my job entails more than putting a hit and run on. It's caring about (the players) and their families. I hope they know that. I think they do."

It is amazing how medical breakthroughs were so often due to a lucky break. Also how resistant mainstream medicine was/is to accept new ideas. If you have a layman's interest in various medical discoveries then read this book and you will be facinated by the stories behind major medical discoveries that , today, we take for granted.
I admit I was initially intimidated by this book. But I loved how the author wrote in terms I, not being in the medical field, could understand and learn about things I just take for granted. :)
I am a nurse and this book was excellent- loved the "man on the street" reactions to the innovative ideas!
Mostly garbage reason is presented in this book. The author seems to have little grasp on valid logic and will infer facts that are simply false. Chapter 10 is a perfect example of ignorance, or an immoral, treatment to the pursuit of truth.
I really enjoyed this book! It was easy to read and very informative. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has any interest in medicine, science and history.
Reading expands one's mind and can cause one to be mindful. I was aware that I lived in an age where it is easy to take one's health for granted – most infections are relatively minor, research and discoveries are honored, sanitation (in America) is an expectation to the point of being a "personal right." In such an environment, it is important to be reminded of how those assumptions (and many others) came to be possible. This book opened doors I was unaware were closed and answered questions that had been of a nagging nature but knew not what to ask. The book is divided into ten chapters and epilogue. Each chapter addresses the ten most important discoveries of medicine, as determined by polls taken by the British Medical Journal and Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report published by the Centers for Disease Control. Each chapter is well researched and amazingly brief considering the material covered in each segment. Moving from the invention of medicine (chapter 1), to Sanitation (2), germs (3), anesthesia (4), x-rays (5), vaccines (6), antibiotics (7), Heredity, Genetics DNA (8), Drugs for Mental Illness (9) and the "Re-discovery" of alternative medicine, the author gives a thorough overview of each discovery. I found myself highlighting much of each chapter as the facts were somehow apparent but surprising. Of all the "ah HA!" moments I found in this book, the largest came early in the book. Sanitation ranks second behind the discovery of medicine (Hippocrates was the first to use disciplined methods to treat the sick) as the most important medical discovery. Having a clean environment keeps disease from: forming, spreading, evolving, etc. Sanitation is a relatively recent concept and is still a foreign idea in many parts of the world. What struck me the most about this discovery is the reality that history is repeating itself; sanitation was discovered to be hugely beneficial and we are becoming increasingly aware of how unsanitary we are making our entire environment. This is not the kind of book one will read in one setting, but it is one any self-respecting "useless facts" Geek will refer to with frequency. I will use this book while preparing for my next big Trivial Pursuit tourney.
This book was easy to read as it was very interesting. Things that we take for granted were controversial once, and it was fascinating learning about them. I definitely recommend this book.
I enjoyed this book. Written at a relatable level -- just enough detail to explain but not enough to confuse. If you enjoy history or science, you will enjoy the big picture this book gives on medical history.
Great deal for a free book. Gotta admit, the writing ( and basic spelling, grammar) of most self-published Smashwords titles are usually unreadable for me...but this one was very professional, engaging & fascinating- great science writing with lively anecdotes.
Im not in the medical field but found this easy to read and understand. I had a lot of "a ha" moments reading this. They explain all the modern medicine that we take for granted. Great read.

Excellent 4.2 /5 from 61 reviews
location is very optimal for seeing the local piazzas & for shopping.
Ideally situated in the Marina district in the centre of everything.Everything was clean ,the rooms in good condition for 3 stars.Room tv systems need simplifying.Otherwise no real quibbles.Very pleased with the 72hr visit.
Front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. They made many calls to check on my suitcase which the airline lost. They also helped with arranging a city tour and getting information on bus service.
Really good experience
The Hotel Due Colonne is in a great position,in Cagliari close to most things, but it is quite noise with traffic noise and revellers at night. Also having to phone to reception to have the air-conditioning turned on and off was a real pain. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Souls At Zero Lyrics
Artist: Neurosis
Album: Souls At Zero
No seed will grow of this barren earth. Our hope
unborn has died. I've slept in the dirt under the light
of the moon and I know our souls have perished.
Calling to those that would hear but I am deaf.
Clawing at those that would feel but I am dead to my
own fears.
Our cancer has grown into a stone. This water tastes
like poison. Your doomsday machine towers above
me to instill my vision.
Glowing pyre in the wind, like a glowing pyre in the
wind I stand to heal.
I tried to touch the feelings they have shown, our
cancer's grown into a stone. More cracks as our
ceiling caves in. This is our destiny.
These are visions, visions on.

Thu Oct 17, 2013 4:42am IST
(Reuters) - EBay Inc on Wednesday gave a disappointing holiday forecast, blaming a weaker U.S. macroeconomic environment, sending shares down 4.5 percent in after-hours trading.
The e-commerce company reported a higher third-quarter profit on Wednesday as consumers made greater use of its PayPal service.
But the company said the macroeconomic environment in the United States was weaker, leading it to give a cautious outlook for the current quarter, which includes the crucial holiday season. EBay said the environment in Europe and Asia was mostly stable.
"U.S. e-commerce softened considerably and we have a cautious outlook for the holiday season," Chief Financial Officer Bob Swan told investors on a conference call.
Data firm ShopperTrak has forecast the slowest holiday sales growth since 2009, and last week, September retail sales showed U.S. shoppers were cautious, following a disappointing second quarter for many retailers.
EBay expects revenue of between $4.5 billion and $4.6 billion for the current quarter, ending December 31, compared with the $4.64 billion estimated by analysts, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
"You could certainly point to consumer confidence that took a beating," said Colin Gillis, a technology analyst with BGC Partners.
U.S. consumer confidence slid last month to its lowest since May, according to a report released in late September by the Conference Board, an industry group.
You have a media effect building right now in favor of retailers providing "surprise results" or confirming the reports with horrid results supported by this lowered outlook as a "tough season." The agenda is set to report holiday sales with a framing of a negative outlook. The only knowledge gained is that sales will be bad, which promotes further support in people buying less and feeling they need to tighten their belts in "this economy." Basically, you have a peripheral persuasive effect that changes behavior and beliefs. Of course, the polls used with consumers do not disclose their questions, which leads to a lacking credible outcome as Qs' framing can allow for a biased outcome, and the reality is that people may still spend and not worry about it.
However, I can foresee a bad season all around for most retailers as they will be forced to offer discounts to make sales, such as GAP does through its stores (Banana Republic being 30-40% off regularly). What does this mean for DECK...weather and overall fashion looks for this Winter will have a lot of influence. DECK will keep its upper-end customers as they generally see little change in buying patterns, but the middle class may see some spending changes.
For weather, here in central NY (West Point), weather is finally going to break below 40 in about a week - a little warmer than normal, but does not mean we don't have harsh change in Nov-Dec-Jan-Feb. Time and mother nature will tell.
I would also like to point out that the demographics of the buyers for most of Decker's products are not going to be as affected as will the lower middle and lower classes. People who have the money in this range are still going to buy their kids things that they want and or need, especially boots and shoes. Even if sales were slightly down come March, I would attribute it more to weather than the nonsense the crooks are trying to spin.
Agreed, but add to that the financial drain of Obamacare which will act like a tax on people. This will drastically reduce what people have to spend. One example is the family in CA which has been on the news channels (they interviewed the man) saying his family health coverage increased by $10,000 per year. Another example, close to home, is my 27 year old son. He has great coverage with a $500 deductible, low co-pays for doctor visits and drugs, and pays $66 per month currently. That's a Blue Cross Policy but it is not grandfathered. When he has to replace it, the same Blue Cross policy will cost him $290 per month. He does qualify for a $36 per month tax credit meaning his increase is ONLY $188 per month. This is repeating itself nationwide and will possible put the US back into recession. In many cases the Obamacare caused premium increases will exceed the income taxes already being paid by these families. Don't underestimate the decline this will cause in purchasing.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

The Fiscal Year 2017 National Defense Authorization Act has passed the Senate as of June 14th. This bill is of particular interest to Quakers in that one of the provisions would open the draft to all genders and require women 18-26 to register for the Selective Service, as men currently do at age 18. Failure or refusal to register for the Selective Service can result in loss of various forms of federal aid. FGC offers a First Day School curricula resource for considering conscientious objectorship with young people in your meeting. Read more about this curricula and news item.

The two most common types of lenses are polarized and non-polarized which can vary in different colors and tints.

The most common materials are nylon, plastic, metal, and metal alloys.

Seubert, 31, suffered the injury when his cleat got caught in the field while being "bull-rushed" by a Redskins defender in the first quarter of the Giants' 17-14 win at Washington on Sunday. He was carted off the field with his right leg stabilized."I went back to plant and stop it and my cleat got stuck. I couldn't get my cleat out of the ground. It could have happened any play," said Seubert, who was moving around the locker room on crutches with his right leg in a brace on Monday. It's the second major injury to his right leg. Seubert, the longest tenured Giant, also broke his right leg in the middle of the 2003 season. He missed the rest of that season and all of 2004. Seubert also played the entire 2009 season with a shoulder injury. He underwent surgery last January to repair the injury. He said that the right knee injury he suffered on Sunday is not as severe as his previous right leg ailment. "It's not like [the 2003 injury in which] I shattered my leg and I need seven surgeries to put it back together," Seubert said. "[Dr. Russell Warren, a surgeon at the Hospital of Special Surgery] told me he's 100 percent sure that he can fix it, so I'm happy." Giants center Shaun O'Hara also said on Monday that he will meet with doctors this week and expects to have surgery to "clean out" his injured left Achilles. He doesn't anticipate needing surgery to repair his injured ankle. O'Hara missed 10 games due to injuries to his left ankle, left Achilles and a sprained right Lisfranc this season. "I might [have surgery]," O'Hara said. "Like I said, I don't know. I gotta see doctors today and tomorrow and figure out a course of action. But I think mostly I'll have to do something to clean it out and just get it right. And once I do that, I'll be ready to go for next year." Seubert filled in for O'Hara for seven of those games and was an integral part of a Giants offensive line that was forced into seven different starting combinations due to injury. On Monday, Reese called Seubert "the MVP of our team." He isn't the first member of the organization to use that description for the career guard, who signed with the Giants as a rookie free-agent out of Western Illinois in 2001.
With Seubert at center, the Giants ran for 410 yards in a two-week stretch in wins over the Redskins and Vikings. They ran for an average of 151 yards on the ground in the six previous games he started at center.His impact on the running game was apparent in the regular-season finale as well. The Giants ran for 41 yards on three carries with Seubert at center; they gained just 41 yards on 29 carries the rest of the day with Kevin Boothe in his place. Seubert, guard Chris Snee and right tackle Kareem McKenzie anchored a patchwork line that helped the Giants run for 137.5 yards per game, the sixth-highest total in the league. "Everybody knows what he's been through and what it means," coach Tom Coughlin said on Sunday night. "Talk about heart and soul in the way he played this year and the things he was able to accomplish for our team. We lose our center and this guy goes in there and just does a super job." Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks also revealed on Monday that the broken toe that held him out of Sunday's win is the same toe that he had operated on in the offseason. "It wasn't bad," Nicks said. "It was like a slight fracture. But it was the same toe -- the big toe on my left foot -- I'd been operated on in the offseason. So I have to sit down for a while." Nicks added that the injury would've kept him out of this weekend's wild-card round of the playoffs had the Giants advanced that far. It will not require surgery. "I probably would've been able to play the week after," said Nicks, who emerged to establish career-highs in receptions (79), yards (1,052) and touchdowns (11) in his sophomore campaign. Nicks put up those impressive statistics in just 13 games, although he was upset at how he and his team's season ended. "It left a bit of a bitter taste," said Nicks, who finished tied for 13th in the NFL with six drops. "We definitely wanted to be in the playoffs. My season didn't end up how I wanted it to be personally, but you just look at the positives and move forward from it." Osi Umenyiora added to the Giants' offseason injury woes, saying he will need hip surgery perhaps as early as this week. The Giants defensive end has been bothered by a hip injury the entire season. Umenyiora told WFAN radio on Monday night that he may undergo the surgery in either New York or in Colorado, where he visited with a hip specialist back during the summer prior to training camp.

I am ready for challenge of serving on city's Police Commission
To The Daily Sun,
My name is Tom Tarr and I am a candidate for a vacancy on the Laconia Police Commission. As a first time candidate for public office, my decision to run stems from my desire to serve at the local level while utilizing my criminal justice experience, which I think will be an asset to the commission.
I am a native of Concord, and my wife of 46 years and I moved to Laconia in 2003. Together we raised two children and are the proud grandparents of four grandchildren, two of whom reside in Laconia.
I received a B.S. degree from New Hampshire College (SNHU) in 1970. Shortly after graduating, I entered the military draft and served four years on active duty in the Air Force. While in the service, I also earned an M.S. degree from the University of Southern California (USC) in 1974.
After my honorable discharge from military service in the summer of 1974, I returned home and began my criminal justice career as a New Hampshire Probation/Parole Officer. Nine years later in 1985, I was appointed director of the N.H. Probation/Parole Division with responsibility for managing and directing New Hampshire's statewide adult probation/parole system. I remained in that position until 1992 when I was appointed as chief U.S. probation officer by the U.S. District Court, District of New Hampshire. In that capacity, I managed and directed all federal probation and pretrial service activities in the state. My experience at both the state and federal has afforded me a broad understanding and a deep appreciation of the challenges of New Hampshire law enforcement at the local, county, state and federal levels.
During my career, I was routinely involved in personal administration and management, budget development and oversight, policy and procedure development, and law enforcement training approval. I also was directly responsible for officer staff involved in offender supervision and monitoring and all investigation activities at the probation and pretrial stages. In 2010, I assisted in the development of the first federal drug court in New Hampshire.
In 2014 I retired after a 40-year career and I am convinced that my experience will make me a good "fit" for the Police Commission, and that, if elected, that experience will serve me well.
I am ready for this new challenge and would appreciate your vote on Nov. 3.
Tom Tarr

Among the other stories featured in the latest issue are the 125th anniversary of the Sayre Times newspaper, the death of 87-year-old Annie Stephens (vice-president of the Sayre Printing Company), a profile of Sayre resident Dick Johnson, the 1894 annual report of the Robert Packer Hospital, the Sayre Ukes Boy Scout Troop, and a photograph of the town clock.
The Times, as it is christened, peals its note of news to this highly intelligent public today for the first time, making its bow in as graceful a manner as possible, states the editor, C.L. Francisco in the newspapers first issue. The first news of the new journalistic endeavor was the inaugural meeting of the new Sayre Borough Council. Sayre was incorporated as a borough on January 27, 1891.
A number of news items from the first issue are included in the Quarterly such as the new electric street railway, the new Methodist Church, the 760 pupils in the school system, news of Howard Elmer and spouse returning from California, and more. A number of advertisements from 1891 are also included in the story.
Mrs. D.R. (Annie) Stephens was thrust in the newspaper business when her husband passed away only a year after they purchased the Sayre Times-Record from C.L. Francisco. When her son died three years later, she became more active in the Sayre Printing Company which published the Evening Times. Her interesting life is recounted in the Summer Quarterly.
A well-known Sayre man, Dick (DJ) Johnson, who passed away earlier this year, is recalled through a series of photographs, newspaper clippings and even a U.S. Navy commendation.
One of several pictures donated by his niece, Michael Ann Wayman, includes a dance routine from the 1955 Redskin Revue with D.J. and Nancy Miller performing An Old Soft Shoe.
Mr. Johnson was a 1955 graduate of Sayre High School. After service in the U.S. Navy, he accepted a position with WATS radio. He later worked as an audio-visual coordinator at the H. Austin Snyder Elementary School.
The 1894 Annual Report of the Robert Packer Hospital includes some interesting tidbits of history. Franklin M. Stephens was superintendent of the institution during its ninth year.
Crowding was an issue that had to be dealt with as well as outside painting and plumbing which has been thoroughly overhauled at an expense of $300, according to the report.
A separate section lists donations made to the hospital including a basket of cherries by Mrs. S. J. French, a carload of wood by Trexler, Terrell & Co., and two boxes of oranges from Julius Hayden of Jacksonville, Florida.
The final story recounts a new Boy Scout Troop organized in 1937. The article appeared in the Ukrainian Youth magazine and was donated to the Sayre Historical Society by Jerry Pryslopski. Officially called Troop 2 of the Ascension of Our Lord Church, the group included Ukrainian boys of the community led by Scoutmaster Andrew Costic. Boys included Philip Ball, Steve Ball, Peter Ball, Matthew Cheresnowsky, Mike Fedchak, John Fedorka, Mike Halitski, Steve Pryslopski, John Ryck, John Stromick, Steve Kachmar, Mike Zaborney and John Jascomb.
A poster for a Block Dance to benefit the Sayre Canteen is included on the inside back cover.
The final item is a photograph of the Sayre town clock which is now located in Ithaca at the former Lehigh Valley Railroad station, now a bank. The clock was purchased and relocated by an Ithaca restaurant owner.
Copies of the Quarterly are mailed four times per year to members of the historical society. Individual copies are available from Carls Newsstand in Sayre and from the museum on Wednesdays from 5 to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
