By Mickey Winfield: PNT staff writer
While cows were tied up just yards away, several Portales and Clovis canines had free run of green grass and challenging
obstacles with the Clovis/Portales Kennel Club on Friday at the Roosevelt County Fairgrounds.
Dee Durlande of Clovis has been training dogs for more than 20 years, including several years with
her 7-year-old golden retriever Rizzo.
"She hasn't gotten any agility titles," Durlande said. "She's got mostly obedience titles and hunting,
retrieving titles."
"All of these dogs are well trained," said another dog trainer, Michael Rowley of Clovis. "They're super-trained athletes. That's what they do. You don't ever see them fighting or anything like that."
The Clovis/Portales Kennel Club includes about a dozen members, eight of whom are also in the training group. The club has been training dogs in agility for about four years. The group travels to competitions in Amarillo, Lubbock and Albuquerque.
"It's incredible. When your dog finally figures out something difficult like the weave pole, it's as good as a title, if you ask me," Durland said. "That is one of the hardest things to do is to teach them to go through the weave poll."
The weave pole is one of the many obstacles in which the dogs compete. The dog must weave through a series of poles until all poles are cleared.
At each competition there are between 350 and 600 dogs competing in the various events and obstacles.
"It takes some basic obedience and some off-leash control," Durlande said. "But most of the dogs figure out in a hurry that it's really enjoyable and so they really get to where they want to do it for no reward at all."
Rowley's 4-year-old border collie Maggie has won an advanced title in agility and a standard excellent title in various competitions.
"She just worked her way up," Rowley said. "She's in the top level now. She's in the master's agility level, and she's competing with the best dogs."
The kennel club decided to come to the Roosevelt County Fair for several reasons.
"People that live in Portales wanted us to do it, because we do it in Clovis, too, so we just picked up the opportunity to do it," Durlande said.
Durlande also said that practicing at the county fair is great, because their dogs will face many of the fair's distracting factors at their competitions.
"It's good practice to get them out near crowds and noises and heat," Durlande said.
The dogs also didn't seem to mind the cattle tied up close to the demonstration area.
"We were a little nervous about the cattle here, because they herd, and she's seen them so we'll see. That will be a good test," Rowley said.
Maggie had no comment about the cows.

Harris, who has been helping during harvest time in the county for several years, was clearly disappointed.
"I couldn't believe it," Harris said. "I went in to the Planter's Co-op to buy T-shirts and then walked out and saw my truck ... I had just put in a brand new motor a month and a half ago."
Harris had left the truck running to stay cool as he went into the co-op to buy souvenirs, since he was about to head back to Arkansas after working in the area for about a month.
He explained that he saw and smelled the smoke that was coming from a small electrical box near the door when he looked inside. The fire happened very quickly. Before he could even find the fire extinguisher, it was too late; he saw his truck become quickly engulfed in flames.
Authorities were notified right away. Odem's Fire Department had received the call at 12:28 p.m. and was on scene just a few minutes later. Deputy Ron Ramirez was dispatched from the police department at 1:07 p.m. Both northbound and southbound lanes on Highway 77 were closed, and traffic diverted.
The reports state that the corn silos, next to where Harris' truck was parked, did not have damage. Harris had finished the last day of harvest in the area with T-shirts, but a loss of about $82,000 for his truck, according to Harris' estimate.


text: I personally think this is the most critical match up. You can only defend against Lebron and Wade's spectacular shooting so much. What you can do against the Heat is stop them from penetrating. Hold down the paint. Play tough against Bosh. Don't give them that other option. Amare NEEDS to play defense. As this is a playoff series I expect him to put in that extra effort that we don't see in the regular season. Block some shots and box em out, big man!


text: work all day and pump while at work, for about 3 weeks now my baby has refused me unless it is at night (middle) when she is so tired she doesnt care. Is there anything I can do to get her back on the breast when I am home? I need to increase my supply to keep up with her and I cant do that with the pump. I read that it could be that she is teathing- she does drool a lot. Please help I am desperate!

Cranial Manipulation and Tooth Fairy Science
Tooth Fairy Science is science that studies a phenomenon that doesn't exist. You can do studies on the Tooth Fairy; for instance, comparing how much money she leaves to kids in different socioeconomic groups. You can do studies on the memory of homeopathic water. You can do studies on the therapeutic effects of smoothing out wrinkles in the imaginary human energy field with therapeutic touch. Or you can do studies of craniosacral therapy. "Therapeutic Effects of Cranial Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine: A Systematic Review," by Jakel and Hauenschild, was published 2011 in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Medical Association. It is a perfect example of Tooth Fairy Science.
In the 1930s, William G. Sutherland, DO looked at a disarticulated skull and noticed that the sutures were beveled, like the gills of a fish. He concluded that this indicated articular mobility for a respiratory mechanism. He invented cranial osteopathic manipulation to allegedly move the bones of the skull relative to each other for therapeutic benefit.
In the 1970s, John E. Upledger developed this idea further, inventing craniosacral therapy (CST). It postulates rhythmic fluctuations of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), mobility of the cranial bones and dural membranes, and involuntary motion of the sacrum. The CST practitioner palpates the skull, senses pulsations transmitted to the skull by the CSF, gently moves the skull bones relative to each other, and thereby releases restrictions to the flow of CSF, which somehow restores health in an astounding variety of human illnesses.

Aldi readies Rutland store openingAlbert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Aldi food market is under construction on South Main Street in Rutland. The store is at the site of the former Smith Buick GMC dealership. Workers last week put up one of the exterior signs on the building.
Aldi will open its second supermarket in Vermont next month, promising to save shoppers up to 50 percent over name brand groceries.
Aldi, a discount grocer with a new store at 263 South Main St., will open its doors Aug. 15. The first Vermont store opened in Bennington several years ago.
The international chain boasts 1,400 items in an average store with Aldi-private label items priced lower than the competition but without sacrificing quality, according to the company. The store offers a double price guarantee if a customer isnt satisfied.
The store also carries fresh meat, fish, produce, beer and wine.
The chain does business a bit differently than the average supermarket. Customers bring their own shopping bags and pay a refundable 25 cents to use a shopping cart. The 17,800-square-foot store is also smaller than its competitors and features open carton displays. All those differences add up in cost-savings for shoppers, the company said in a press release.
The store accepts cash, checks, debit and electronic benefits transfer (EBT) cards but does not accept credit cards.
Bagging is also different at Aldi.
Shoppers bag their own groceries and can either bring their own shopping bags or purchase paper, plastic, or insulated bags for what the company said is a very nominal charge.
The interior of Aldi features high ceilings, natural lighting, eco-friendly building materials, and energy-efficient lighting and refrigeration.
The arrival of another chain represents increased competition for Price Chopper, Hannaford, Topps (which recently purchased the former Grand Union on North Main Street) and Shaws, which has stores in Fair Haven and Poultney.
Jim Harrison, president of the Vermont Grocers Association, said Aldi has enjoyed consistent growth for the last 30 years or so. Harrison said that is especially true in the last few years when the economy has sort of tightened up.
While the competition should be good news for consumers, Harrison also said Aldis breadth of product offerings is not on par with the other major chains.
Its a limited assortment store and it may not have the same products, or the same variety of the same products, or the same variety of the same brands, you might buy at one of the supermarkets, he said.
On its website (aldi.us), the company said its customers do as much as 90 percent of their shopping at Aldi.
The company boasts its share of awards, including named by Market Force, a trade publication, as the low price supermarket leader in the United States. The chain has also been recognized for its efforts at promoting healthy diets and by Greenpeace for its efforts to promote seafood sustainability.
The Rutland store, at the site of the former Smith Buick GMC dealership, will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.
The store will open Aug. 15 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 9 a.m., followed by a cookout from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Headquartered in Germany, the 100-year-old supermarket chain operates in 17 countries. In the U.S., Aldi has 1,200 stores in 32 states. Aldi in recent years has added 50 to 80 new stores a year. The privately held company also operates Trader Joes, a specialty food store, which has announced plans to open a store on Dorset Street in South Burlington.

Would you rather live in NY or LA?
Earthquakes or hurricanes.. Hmmmm
NY but i prefer Mia better :p
NY it is better over here in the east coast we get snow from NC up
New York City any day....that's why i live there.
Well, I've spent a fair amount of time in both, so based on my experience I'd pick LA. LA has terrible traffic, earth quakes, vapid people...& still it's a much better choice.
NYC! As if the name doesn't give enough implication. lol
How could I know? I've never been at any of them.
Right now NYC is in bad position so LA yet earthquakes don't seem that bad
Definitely L.A. :3
I live in the UK but I visited LA for holiday. I can't even lie, I had the time of my life. It's really nice over there.

Mark S. Albury: Home improvementJuly 29,2013
While visiting a female friend last weekend I noticed that she had a screen that needed to be replaced in her front door. Every so often, when in the presence of a beautiful woman, my brain temporarily shuts down and forgets to send the memo concerning this work stoppage to my mouth. It is during these moments that my mouth, unaware that the brain is not presently calling the shots, usually volunteers me to do things beyond my realm of expertise. I had this very experience when I heard the words, I can fix that, coming out of the orifice below my nose.
Once committed to repairing the door I needed to come up with a plan of attack. To a normal, red-blooded, beer-drinking, hammer-wielding macho male with the home repair gene, this solution would not only be simple, it would generate a degree of excitement. Unfortunately, while I am indeed a guy, have crimson corpuscles, enjoy a malt beverage on occasion, and somewhere in the basement have a hammer, I do not possess the home repair gene. Whenever I undertake a major project like putting a new toilet paper roll on the wall rack or changing the bag in the vacuum cleaner, I can be guaranteed of two things: something will break, and I will eventually need to call in someone else to clean up my mess. With this in mind I decided to turn to my usual source for homestead repairs The Yellow Pages.
After perusing the directory for a few minutes an irrational thought crossed my mind. How hard could it be to repair a screen? I asked myself. It is this very line of thinking that has gotten me into trouble in the past. My track record for failed projects that began with the sentence, How hard could it be is impressive, to say the least. Unfortunately, I have never been accused of being a quick learner. Later that day I got into the car and headed up to Burlington to visit one of the home supply box stores.
When I entered the business, I saw aisle after aisle of parts of things. Random faucets, loose light fixtures, hoses, sections of ductwork and lumber all waiting for some knowledgeable consumer to purchase, bring home and transform into functioning pieces of a house. I approached a clerk and asked where I might find screen doors. She pointed me to the back of the building. As I walked to where I was directed, I passed many customers having in-depth conversations with store employees using terms like telescoping basin wrench, and compression sleeve pullers, and I realized I was out of my element. I was truly a stranger in a strange land. I arrived at the designated area and gazed intently at a display, hoping to give the impression I knew exactly what I was looking for. An employee approached.
Sir, can I help you, he asked politely.
Im just looking at these screen doors, I replied.
Uh, those are double-paned windows, he informed me.
Of course, they are, I was just testing you, I said, trying to introduce a little levity to the conversation. I meant these screen doors here, I recovered, turning to the display behind me.
Those are shower doors.
OK, lets cut to the chase, I said. I need to replace a door screen.
Do you have the frame? he asked. If not, you can make one.
Clearly this guy did not realize he was talking to the original Dr. Disaster of home improvement projects.
Make one? I asked.
Its really quite simple. You just take these eight-foot metal frame-stock strips, cut them to length with a hacksaw or your miter-box, use four l-shaped corner clips to secure the pieces, lay the frame concave side down and install the screening wire, put the mesh over the frame, clamp it, unspool a length of spline material, press it into the frames groove using the spline rolling tool, trim the spline with a utility knife, and cut the excess mesh with a straight edge.
My eyes glazed over, and I did as any normal person who didnt understand what was being explained would do. I nodded knowingly.
After thanking the gentleman for his help I walked towards the exit with my head held high, having retained the same level of home repair ignorance that I had when I entered the store.
On the drive home I noticed that it was getting somewhat cooler out. In fact, it occurred to me that it is probably time to consider taking out the screens and putting in the storm windows. At least thats what Im going to tell my friend.

Nice to see the boys again with it being a special year the 40th.Just been wondering what did they get from the club? They got their few bob winning pay.They got their medals and of course the trophy.Did we as a club give them an honour as such.If we didnt and i know were not a membership club anymore.Would it be a good idea if we presented the whole squad with a sort of life membership,We could have a presentation night or after last match of season be another chance for them to have the odd drink.Then if we did the whole squad including those that missed out on a medal would have some recognition.Perhaps gfdu can enliten us whether theY did get an award from the club.

Stevo got a one-way ticket to Penrith.
I don't think the others got anything more than their win bonus. That was just normal in those days, I don't think other clubs ever gave anything special either.

It would be nice if the club could arrange something, even a plaque on the wall naming the whole squad on the day?
Yet another excuse to have a party and raise money!
Plus we can celebrate what was a wonderful occasion!

Let's not forget the coach! My understanding is that Tommy Smales never got the winner's medal he was promised, although the chairman and the club secretary did. I believe (and hope) Tommy is stll alive somewhere in Featherstone, and it might be just about time to make sure he has some memento of his achievement. (I suspect if you talk to any of the team they will apportion no small measure of credit to him for the success).
This was THE most glorious page of the club's history, and I think it's way past time to right the apparent wrong to a significant contributor to that glory!

Split verdict reached in abuse trial
MARTINSBURG – The jury in the trial of a Bunker Hill couple accused of abusing five children under their care more than three years ago reached a split verdict Wednesday following an 11-day trial in Berkeley County Circuit Court.
The jury of nine men and three women returned with a verdict shortly after 2 p.m. Wednesday after deliberating for more than five hours over the course of two days.
"We are satisfied with the verdict in this regard. It was a long and hard-fought case. It shows us that child abuse happens in silence in many respects. I admire these children for how far they've come in this respect, and I thought that the verdict, based on all the evidence that the jury heard, was a fair verdict," Berkeley County Prosecutor Pamela Games-Neely said.
Jurors found Nathan A. Snyder, 29, of Nereid Lane, guilty of four counts of felony child abuse causing bodily injury and not guilty on eight remaining counts of an indictment charging him with child abuse causing bodily injury. He was originally indicted in February 2010 on 13 counts of child abuse causing injury, but one of the counts was dismissed at the close of the state's case.
Snyder's attorney, Thomas Stanley, said his client will likely appeal.
"I can't believe the jury found him guilty of anything based on the evidence I heard. I am just totally shocked by the verdict, and I'm sure there will be an appeal," Stanley said Wednesday.
A co-defendant in the case, Christina A. Snyder, 43, also of Nereid Lane, was found not guilty on one count of felony child abuse causing bodily injury and guilty on a lesser included offense of misdemeanor domestic battery on the remaining count of child abuse she was being tried on. She was originally indicted on five counts of child abuse causing bodily injury, but three of the counts were dismissed last week – two by the state and one by West Virginia 23rd Judicial Circuit Judge John Yoder. She is scheduled to be sentenced April 11 by Yoder. She had originally faced a maximum of sentence of 5 to 25 years prison based on the five counts she was initially indicted on. She now faces a maximum of 12 months in jail and a $500 fine for the domestic battery conviction.
"I just want to thank the jury for their hard work, and we are disappointed, obviously, with the misdemeanor conviction, but we're extremely happy that she was acquitted of all the felony counts," her attorney, Christopher Prezioso, said.
Games-Neely immediately filed a recidivist information against Nathan Snyder following his convictions, alleging he has two prior felony convictions. Under West Virginia's three strikes rule, he now could see his sentence enhanced to life in prison. No sentencing date has been scheduled in his case. That will take place after a separate recidivist trial that has been scheduled for April 23. Games-Neely said the two qualifying felony convictions stemmed from two prior convictions for driving under the influence third offense. She said Nathan Snyder was previously convicted of DUI third offense on Jan. 26, 2006, and June 9, 2003. If found by a jury to be a recidivist, Snyder will be sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after serving a minimum of 15 years in prison. He also faces one to five years in prison on each of the remaining three counts of child abuse he was convicted of.
The alleged victims in the child abuse case included a 5-year-old girl, an 8-year-old girl, a 12-year-old boy and two 14-year-old boys. Games-Neely previously described the abuse as "hell on earth."
The defendants were arrested in 2009 after the children came forward with allegations that they were regularly beaten by the defendants with items including a riding crop and a metal spoon, were shot with BB guns and bottle rockets, choked and burned with cigarettes, as well as other unindicted allegations of abuse.
The domestic battery count Christina Snyder was convicted of accused her of punching one of the victims in the stomach.
Games-Neely said it was an extremely tough case due to the age of the victims at the time of the abuse and amount of time that had elapsed between when the abuse occurred and when the trial began years later.
"That's a long time to reach back and try to remember what you did, who was there and all those kinds of things, and that makes it far more difficult. We did not expect that we would win them all, and we did not. We have to bring forward what we believe we can prove, and we had advised the family going in that we weren't sure we could get all the convictions, because it rose and fell on what the children had to say and what they could remember," Games-Neely said.

This is the planter that uses a patented vacuum capillary system to ensure a house plant is sufficiently hydrated for up to 120 days. Designed by an Oregon University PhD horticulturalist, it eliminates the guesswork that can lead to under- or over-watered plants-it even keeps sensitive, hard-to-grow plants such as phalaenopsis properly watered. A potted plant in its plastic container is inserted into the planter's chamber, and its vacuum reservoir is filled with water and sealed. The bottom of the pot chamber is lined with an absorbent mat and a wick that automatically and efficiently draws moisture from the reservoir to the plant's roots. The planter accepts 4-6" diameter pots (plants can also be transplanted into the planter directly, if desired) and is made from lightweight, transparent ABS. Includes extra mat and wick. Gray. 9" Diameter x 7" H. (2 lbs.)

Big Day for Sox and Daniel Hudson
We all know that it's been a season to forget on the South Side, but our spirits were raised a bit this afternoon with the South Siders' 8-4 triumph over the first-place Tigers. Today's win and the series victory showed there is still some life in the Sox with six games left in this lost season. It just could be that the troops took Ozzie's Saturday tirade to heart.

He is the author of a number of books including 'Army Records: A guide for family historians'.
Overseas Births, Marriages and Deaths: Records in The National Archives
There is no single place to find all the birth, marriage and death records of the British overseas. However, The National Archives holds a substantial number of them, in a variety of record collections.

The Land Tax was created in 1692 and was voted annually by Parliament until 1798 when it became a perpetual charge, which could be redeemed by the payment of a lump sum. After 1949 compulsory redemption was introduced in certain circumstances until the Finance Act of 1963 abolished all unredeemed land tax from 25 March 1963. This talk looks at the operation of the land tax, redemption, and the work of the Land Tax Redemption Office and its surviving records in series IR 20 to IR 25. Mention is also made of surviving land tax returns in county record offices and archives.

An overview of the essential finding aids and documents held by The National Archives which can be used to trace ancestors who served in Nelson's Navy.
Tracing Marriages in 18th Century England and Wales: A Reassessment of Law and Practice
The Clandestine Marriages Act of 1753 marked an important development in the history of marriage by putting the requirements for a valid marriage on a statutory basis for the first time. But what was the situation before 1753, and what practical impact did the Act have on popular practice? This thorough reassessment of law and practice is of particular relevance to those tracing their ancestors. First, the universality of formal marriage increases the likelihood that a record of an ancestor's marriage will exist somewhere; secondly, parish-level studies provide us with a clearer idea of where one may need to look for a marriage; and, thirdly, success or failure in tracing a marriage can be set within the context of the marriage law and practice of the time.

Well i agree with you!! Marbury should never have said that!
I was almost chocked by what he said! He is not the best point guard in the NBA and even if he is, he should have shut up!
Well, Well, Well, our top PG is doing it huh? Yea really good games. But, but, where are the wins? Marbury lost to Kidd, then lost to Bibby, and will predictably lose to Wade. Wade is going to eat him alive. I predict a poor out from Stephon b/c Wade is a great defender and even if Marbury just happens to slip by, he'll run into a really big wall with the name SHAQ written in graffiti. Marbury talks that he is the best but also says he is a loser like Kidd, Garnett etc. Well I always thought that losers should never talk. EVER.
Well i agree with you!! Marbury should never have said that!
I was almost chocked by what he said! He is not the best point guard in the NBA and even if he is, he should have shut up!
East coast West coast run wild.....
try 2-2 beccause he beat francis and cassell and in all 4 games he ahd better games then the opposing pgs
while i dont think he should have said that, he has CLEARLY not been the reason why they lost, i mean if ur a great point guard and u have no1 to distribute the ball to or play defense, ur not gonna get very far
Wade is playing SG, and im sure the Heat would not put Damon Jones on Houston because its a mismatch and H20 would end up shooting over him like he did to Bibby yesterday. And Marbury did not lose to Kidd or Bibby. Truthfully he beat them, because He outscored them in points and assists. The Knicks lost to the Nets and the Kings.. simple as that.Originally Posted by Blumatic
Billups should be mentioned in the same breath as the elite PG's of the league. Starbury is 0-1 against him this year (thanks to JCraws shot selection).
Stephon might want to actually win something before making that kind of statement. Confidence is good, but so is modesty.
I dont really think so. Billups was just put on the radar last year. He won a championship with the Pistons and was MVP, ok good job. But I dont classify him as an elite PG. He's good, i'll give him that. His career avg in assits is 4.5 (Not elite) and his career avg in points is 13.3 (Not elite.) AND ONCE AGAIN, Steph is not 0-1 against Billups. THE KNICKS are 0-1 against the PISTONS. In that game the comparisons were:Originally Posted by 1s1ah
Marbury- 18 Pts, 5 Rebs, 7 Assts, 1 Stl
Billups- 15 Pts, 7Rebs, 5Assts, 0 Stls
Marbury clearly outplayed him in the Point Guard Catagories which were- Pts,Assts and Stls. So for everyone who wants to start cutting on Starbury, saying that this PG and that PG outplayed him or beat him, check the stats and get everything correct. ONE player is not the whole TEAM
This is not a one on one league. You do what you have to do to help ur team win. Steph can score 50 pts and kidd scroring 15 pts but if the nets win Kidd did what he did to make his team win. Steph did not period. Still lost. Steph cant put anything in the win column the Knicks do. My point is dont be ****y if ur team is losing. Kobe is probably the best player and the most ****iest in the NBA but his team is losing. Lakers lost respectabilty lost the intimidation factor. Kobe can say he is the best and we might all agree but if the Lakers keep losing then it doesnt matter. Marbury might be the best but so far it aint good enough. So Steph lest keep quiet be humble. A loud talking "loser" just looks bad period.Originally Posted by JaDaMeL05
I agree that Steph was out of line saying he's number 1, even if it's true, which I think it is. I think Marbury is trying desperately to motivate his team. The Knicks are choke artist, we all know that, especially this season, considering the division they're in, they should be 6-8 games over .500 by now. I'm sorry to say that Isiah is going to have to gut this cancer of losing, the Knicks have by trading underperforming players that this roster is full of, first start with the coach of course.
One outta three ain't bad.
you guys cant deny that his game was motivated and his output was alot higher since he said it
Cause he opened his mouth he died and the other guy got pist and showed him up, geeze.......
He to me is second to Nash right now and Jason Kidd is a pure point guard but I dont like him.....
Before Mr. Tayor taught the world to play
Before fiber glass, before parque
Before the world Doctor was spelled with a "J"
And ballrooms were ball courts where the renissance played
Before hype and before the dunk
After the rythm but before the funk
It was only a ball, and the soul of the game
Bleed oRaNgE & bLuE, the only way to bleed
at the moment id say nash is first then marbury. about billups, the offense doesnt really run through him that much and he doesnt have many assists
Peter the Russian...back like cooked crack
hey hey hey smoke weed every day

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Cliff Lee was placed on trade waivers, according to multiple reports, but don't expect to see him changing teams in a straight waiver claim.
Since Lee is owed $87.5 million over the next three seasons, he's unlikely to get claimed.
Lee, like a lot of major league players this month, was placed on waivers just so his team has the option to trade him if it's bowled over by an offer before the Aug. 31 deadline to set postseason rosters. All players must be placed on waivers to be traded after July 31.
Heading into his Sunday start against Arizona, Lee is 2-6 with a 3.73 ERA in 18 starts this year.
In December 2010, Lee signed a five-year, $120 million free agent deal with the Phillies that includes a $27.5 million club option for 2016 (or a $12.5 million buyout).

Police investigating White River Junction bank robberyBy ERIC FRANCIS
CORRESPONDENT | January 17,2013WHITE RIVER JUNCTION – At least two men, a robber and a getaway car driver, were involved in a bank robbery Thursday afternoon at the People's United Bank branch in downtown White River Junction , according to police.
Witness Michael Trombley of White River Junction said that a man "with long blond hair" (which police believe may have been a disguise) ran out the front door of the bank as he was walking up to it about 2:30 p.m.
"I saw him go down over the embankment by the houses there and he jumped in a car and yelled to the other guy "Go! Go! Go!" Trombley said.
Acting Hartford Police Chief Leonard Roberts would not say how much the robbers were able to take from the bank but he said no one inside was injured during the course of the robbery.
A swarm of Hartford Police vehicles began arriving within moments and officers fanned out across Route 14 and nearby Bridge Street, in front of the Hartford Muncipal Building where the getaway vehicle was last seen, looking for any witnesses.
Although there were a number of customers who drove up to the bank apparently just moments after the robbery took place, police said that it initially appeared that very few people actually saw what took place.MORE IN NewsNarration and audio production by RH Alcott Full StoryNarration and audio production by RH Alcott Full Story

Wow is all I can say.
I hate the choice of who went. I yelled "NO!!" when it was going down.
A few questions now, so does the guy who just got arrested from his entourage services come back or you think he'll be gone for good....what a dick move by Clay. Also I was kind of confused...was Jax just telling Pope what he wanted to hear about Teg and that he'll be able to get him later or will he really give up later. I was so pissed to when he died, hope Jax cleans house on all the peeps that killed him and the cop and Pope.

Very good episode though. Really intense.

"Defining the Punjabi Taliban Network"
Journal Article, CTC Sentinel, volume 2, issue 4, pages 1-4
April 2009
Author: Hassan Abbas, Former Senior Advisor, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security; Science, Technology, and Public Policy
"On March 30, 2009, militants launched a deadly assault on a police training center outside Lahore, the capital of Pakistan's Punjab Province. Eight police cadets were killed. Less than a month earlier, on March 3, gunmen in Lahore ambushed members of the visiting Sri Lankan cricket team, killing at least eight people. Punjab, the most populated of Pakistan's provinces, has largely escaped the bloodshed plaguing the country's troubled northwest. Yet since 2007, violence has escalated in the province. The bold terrorist attacks in Pakistan's heartlandwithin Punjab Province and in the Pakistani capital of Islamabadshow that local logistical support for these attacks is attributable to what is often labeled the 'Punjabi Taliban' network. The major factions of this network include operatives from Lashkar-i-Jhangvi, Sipah-i-Sahaba Pakistan and Jaysh-i-Muhammadall groups that were previously strictly focused on Kashmir and domestic sectarian violence.
Members of these groups are increasingly supporting Taliban elements from Pakistan's tribal regions to conduct attacks in sensitive cities such as Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Lahore. Ongoing investigations into the Marriott Hotel bombing that rocked Islamabad in September 2008, in which dozens of Punjabi suspects were arrested and interrogated, demonstrate the role played by Punjabi militants. One investigator working on the Marriott attack revealed that 'all evidences of the terrorist bombing led to South Waziristan via Jhang [a city in Punjab where Lashkar-i-Jhangvi has strong links]. The truck that was rammed into the hotel was also from Jhang.'
This article attempts to define the Punjabi Taliban network, in addition to profiling the three main factions that contribute to its ranks.
Who are the 'Punjabi Taliban'?
The Punjabi Taliban network is a loose conglomeration of members of banned militant groups of Punjabi originsectarian as well as those focused on the conflict in Kashmirthat have developed strong connections with Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Afghan Taliban and other militant groups based in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and North-West Frontier Province (NWFP). They shuttle between FATA and the rest of Pakistan, providing logistical support to FATA- and Afghan-based militants to conduct terrorist operations deep inside Pakistan. Between March 2005 and March 2007 alone, for example, about 2,000 militants from southern and northern Punjab Province reportedly moved to South Waziristan and started different businesses in an effort to create logistical support networks. Given their knowledge about Punjabi cities and security structure, they have proved to be valuable partners for the TTP as it targets cities in Punjab, such as Lahore, Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
Perhaps the best explanation of the Punjabi Taliban's structure came from Tariq Pervez, the newly appointed head of Pakistan's nascent National Counterterrorism Authority (NACTA): 'ideas, logistics, cash [comes] from the Gulf. Arab guys, mainly Egyptians and Saudis, are on hand to provide the chemistry. Veteran Punjabi extremists plot the attacks, while the Pakistan Taliban provides the martyrs.'
The name 'Punjabi Taliban' was first used for ethnic Punjabis associated with Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islam (HuJI) who, under the leadership of Qari Saifullah Akhtar, went to support and join the regime of Taliban leader Mullah Omar in Afghanistan in the mid-1990s. The second time the name was used was in 20012003 when former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf banned some militant and sectarian groups that had a support base in Punjab. As a result, some of these elements began moving to FATA to seek safe havens and establish new camps. These Punjabi militants also reportedly established separate training centers in FATA, especially in North Waziristan. The most recent use of the name began in 2007, when Maulvi Nazir, a militant leader who with some official Pakistani support challenged Uzbek foreign fighters residing in South Waziristan, was hailed by some as a leader of the Punjabi Taliban. This allegation arose because Maulvi Nazir attracted many Punjabi recruits from banned organizations to fight Uzbek foreign fighters. The plan worked, but not without creating another frightening menace in the shape of a reenergized 'Punjabi Taliban'...."

China's ambassador to the United States, Zhang Yesui, and Harvard Kennedy School Prof. Nicholas Burns.
Chinese Envoy Urges Deeper Strategic Partnership with U.S.
News, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
Oct. 13, 2011
Author: James F. Smith, Former Communications Director, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: Future of Diplomacy Project
Video | Article | Transcript
The United States and China need to move beyond a Cold War mindset and reframe their relationship as a community of interests in which they work together as partners, the Chinese ambassador to the United States said in a policy address at Harvard Kennedy School.
Ambassador Zhang Yesui spoke to an overflow audience in the Wiener Auditorium on Wednesday, Oct. 12, in an event hosted by the Future of Diplomacy Project in the Schools Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. Zhang also took questions from the audience after his speech in an off-the-record discussion moderated by R. Nicholas Burns, professor of the practice of diplomacy and international politics and director of the Future of Diplomacy Project.
Zhang sketched a Chinese relationship with the United States that has mushroomed in the 40 years since the secret visit to China by then-Secretary of State (and Harvard professor ) Henry Kissinger: Trade last year reached $385 billion, and U.S. exports to China have grown 468 percent from 2000 to 2010, he noted, even amid complaints that China has not opened its markets sufficiently.
Zhang said 130,000 Chinese students are studying in the U.S., and over 20,000 Americans are studying in China. The countries have 36 pairs of sister province/states and 161 sister city relationships.
At the same time, the China-U.S. relationship is probably one of the most complex in the world, he said, pointing to differences in political systems, cultural traditions, levels of development.
He recalled the joint statement of Presidents Obama and Hu Jintao in January during Hus American visit, pledging that China and the U.S. will work together to build a cooperative partnership based on mutual respect and mutual benefit.
The resulting community of interest, Zhang said, is not and should not be a zero-sum game relationship. If people continue to look at each other with the Cold War mindset, China and the United States will be drawn into confrontation and conflict. It is imperative to shift from the old habitual way of thinking and begin to frame China-U.S. relations from a strategic and long-term perspective. We could both emerge as winners if we work together as true partners.
He said Chinas latest Five-Year Plan focuses in part on expanding domestic consumption, and the U.S. is determined to revitalize manufacturing and expand exports. This offers real opportunities, not only for expanding cooperation in such areas as clean enegy, energy conservation, environmental protection and infrastructure.
Zhang said building strategic mutual trust must be the basis for partnership, and that the recent U.S. announcement of large-scale arms sales to Taiwan has seriously interfered in Chinas internal affairs, undermined Chinas security and damaged the China-U.S. relations.
The ambassador, a career diplomat who also served as Chinas envoy to the United Nations and as deputy foreign minister, said China was working to open its markets to imports and foreign investment. He said it would be wrong to politicize trade disputes or blame Chinas currency exchange rate for U.S. unemployment.
We do not seek a trade surplus with the U.S., he declared. He cited Vice President Joseph Bidens comment that a successful China can contribute to U.S. prosperity, and added, Equally, a successful and growing America is also in Chinas interests.
He concluded by quoting another Harvard graduate, Ralph Waldo Emerson: Dont go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Zhang said that to face the next 40 years, We need vision, courage and wisdom in order to leave a trail, a trail toward a new type of relationship, a trail toward a new model for different social systems to grow and flourish together.

We are proud that one of our Board of Directors of Patient Privacy Rights, Latanya Sweeney, PhD, is leading this major project that puts patients in control of the collection and use of sensitive personal health information in a very secure 'health bank'. No information can be disclosed without the patient's informed consent.
Link to Harvard's Data Privacy Lab
Link to Article in Healthcare IT News
Health banks can enable health information to exchange data for treatment and other uses WHEN patients say so, instead of the way today's electronic systems operate: millions of employees of "covered entities" like hospitals and hospital chains, clinics, doctor's offices, health plans, and health clearinghouses decide when to use, sell, or disclose patients' health information for a myriad of reasons without obtaining informed patient consent or giving advance notice.
Today, Americans have no idea which parts of their sensitive personal health data is being disclosed to whom or for what purposes. Moving to a health banking system would put patients back in charge of records, not corporate and government users, or researchers.
PPR is working with Professor Sweeney and her lab on a complementary project to map where health data flows. Patients cannot weigh the risks of using electronic health systems without knowing where their data goes and who is using it. Professor Sweeney will unveil the PPR/Harvard Data Privacy Lab Health Data Map on June 6th in DC at the 2nd International Summit on the Future of Health Privacy. Registration to attend or watch via live-streamed video is free.
