A Medicaid reduction? That is not likely
June 17. 2013 12:34AM
The director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services told Gov. Maggie Hassan in a letter last week that the state could expand Medicaid and then reduce eligibility at any later time. It was an assurance worth only the paper it was printed on.
Last year, governors asked HHS if they could partially expand Medicaid coverage. HHS said no. It was all or nothing. That is because Obamacare does not work without expanded Medicaid eligibility. Does anyone believe that the administration would allow after expansion what it refuses before expansion? Moreover, does anyone believe that the administration would let its signature achievement be hobbled by states scaling back eligibility? At some point, it would move to prevent that.How would it do that? The Affordable Care Act contains a "maintenance of effort" provision that requires states to offer at least the same level of Medicaid services they offered before the law went into effect. A simple revision, passed by Congress, could require that states maintain current levels of service, not 2009 levels. Presto, expansion is cemented in federal law.
And even if allowed, reducing eligibility would be politically difficult. Gov. Hassan herself has accused Republicans of cutting funding for sick and disabled children after they increased funding for services for sick and disabled children. Imagine the political attacks that any proposal to scale back Medicaid eligibility would bring.
If we expand Medicaid, we will be stuck with it.

Pinkerton Academy gets some rocking coffee beansBy HUNTER McGEE
Union Leader Correspondent
February 21. 2014 10:13PM
DERRY — It may be only rock 'n' roll, but for Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer it's also about helping others.
Aiming to help future musicians, Kramer stopped by Pinkerton Academy on Thursday to donate some of his Rockin' & Roastin' coffee to the school's Astro Cafe.
Kramer donated two cases of the whole bean organic coffee as part of the Music Drives Us program. The coffee will be sold in the cafe, with a portion of each sale going to the nonprofit foundation that supplies grants for music programs throughout New England. The project was founded by auto dealership magnate Ernie Boch Jr.
"This is an example of the private sector coming to the rescue," Kramer said, moments after arriving at the school.
Pinkerton Academy learned Kramer would be in town and could make the donation from his friend Frank Cimler, a member of the Pinkerton Class of 1974, said Anne Paker, alumni relations director. Cimler, who is Kramer's business partner, is a Boston-based attorney who has worked with rock stars for a number of years.
"One of the things we are interested in is music education," Cimler said. "We are interested in young people and trying to help out when we can; that's a big part of why we are here."
The cafe is part of the school's Career and Technical Education Program. Students make up most of the cafe's staff, and many were familiar with Kramer and Aerosmith, Parker said.
Looking the part of a rock star, Kramer sported a leopard-skin coat and black boots as he arrived with Cimler at the school. He met with some students and chefs in the cafe and posed for photos.
Before donating the coffee, Kramer and Cimler briefly discussed how the business is growing and some of the plans for the coffee line. Rockin' & Roastin' is now in a variety of stores throughout New England and other areas, including Stop & Shop, Costco, McKenna's, and Mr. Steer. The coffee also will be sold at Hannaford supermarkets in the next two weeks, Cimler said.
"It's in around 1,700 stores now," he said.As for Aerosmith, the band will be touring Europe later this year, with a stop in Russia, before heading back to the U.S. and a nationwide tour scheduled for July and August, Kramer said.

Arizona State Hosts Pac-10 Cross Country Championships
Oct. 22, 2001
The Events
The 2001 Pacific-10 Conference Men's and Women's Cross Country Championships will be hosted by Arizona State University at the Pavilion Lakes Golf Course in Scottsdale, Ariz. The 33rd-annual men's race (8 teams) will begin at 10 a.m., followed by the 16th-annual women's race (9 teams) at 11 a.m. An award's ceremony will be held near the finish line at 11:45 a.m. A combined open race for both men and women will kick off the event at 8:30 a.m.
The Course
The men will run over an 8,000-meter course, while the women will compete on a 6,000-meter circuit. This championship event marks the first time a cross country meet has been held at the Pavilion Lakes Golf Course, therefore no course records have been established. Both course terrains are mainly flat and include grass, as well as small patches of dirt and light gravel.
Meet Scoring
Teams win by having the lowest point total, based on the places of its top five runners added together. The squad size is seven, with each team's sixth and seventh finishers displacing potential scorers from other teams.
Meet results will be posted on ASU's website, www.thesundevils.com following the championships.
Directions to the Course
From the North 101 Loop, exit Indian Bend Road (exit 44). Turn left on Indian Bend, heading west and driving past Pavilions shopping mall. Turn right at Pima Road, then turn right at the driveway with a United Artists sign. The golf course will be on your left after passing Fiddlesticks. The course is approximately 11 miles from the ASU campus.
Next Year's Pac-10 Championships
Traditionally held at Stanford until three years ago, the Pac-10 Championships were hosted by Oregon in 1998, USC in 1999 and Washington in 2000. They are now rotated among the nine participating institutions. Next year, UCLA will host the meet, followed by Washington State (2003), California (2004), Arizona (2005) and Stanford (2006).
Last Year
Stanford swept both the men's and women's team titles at the 2000 Pac-10 Cross Country Championships hosted by the University of Washington at Lincoln Park in Seattle, Wash., Oct. 28. The second-ranked Cardinal women, who tallied 51 points, captured their unprecedented fifth-straight conference crown and seventh in the last eight years. Stanford was led by Lauren Fleshman (third, 20:34.85) and Victoria Chang (fifth, 20:45.01). Fourth-ranked Arizona State earned its second-straight runner-up honors with 67 points, bolstered by Lisa Aguilera (second, 20:19.95) and Mary Duerbeck (seventh, 20:47.31). Individual champion Tara Chaplin, who set a course record with a winning time of 20:10.67, helped eighth-ranked Arizona to a third-place team finish with 79 points. Washington's Camissa Matson (20:42.08) finished fourth. Stanford's men, ranked third in the nation, dominated the 32nd edition of the conference championships with 21 points, placing three runners in the top four including individual winner Jonathon Riley, who also set a course record in 23:39.59. Louis Luchini finished third (23:49.53) and Grant Robison fourth (23:50.17). Oregon's 13th-ranked men earned runner-up honors with 66 points, followed by No. 10 Arizona with 70 points. The Ducks' Jason Hartmann placed second (23:47.37) and Wildcat Tom Prindiville took fifth (23:50.17), rounding out the top five individuals.
Previous Pac-10 Winners
Dating back to 1969, Oregon has captured 13 of 32 men's titles, and five of the last 13, while Arizona has won seven crowns, all in the last 17 seasons. In recent years, Stanford has dominated the men's team race, winning five total titles and four in the last five seasons. Oregon's Steve Prefontaine and Washington State's Henry Rono, two legends of distance running, each won this event three times. Since 1986, both Oregon and Stanford have claimed seven Pac-10 women's crowns, with the Cardinal winning the last five straight and seven of the last eight. Prior to 1996, the Ducks had claimed seven of the first 10 conference titles. The only team other than Oregon or Stanford that won a women's title was Washington in 1989. Arizona's Amy Skieresz won four Pac-10 titles, while Karen Hecox of UCLA and Liz Wilson of Oregon each won the individual crown twice.
NCAA Regionals
The NCAA West Regional will be contested at the Dell Urich Golf Course in Tucson, Ariz., Sat., Nov. 10, and will determine the West Region's team and individual automatic qualifiers for the NCAA Championships. The men's race will be held at 9:45 a.m., followed by the women's race at 10:30 a.m.
NCAA Championships
The NCAA Division I Championships (63rd annual for the men, 21st for the women) will by hosted by Furman University, Monday, Nov. 19, at the Furman Golf Course in Greenville, S.C.

The first Latino to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate, Republican Ted Cruz, has vowed to fight the White House at every turn, especially about cutting federal spending, unless President Barack Obama takes the country in a new direction.
Cruz rose from a virtually unknown politician to senator-elect by taking a rigid, even angry tone during his campaign, helping him become a national tea party sensation by pledging to beat back government and choke off federal spending no matter what.
But if he is re-elected and intends on continuing down this same path, then I will spend every waking moment to lead the fight to stop it.
- Ted Cruz, First Latino Senator in Texas
If Obama "means what he says on the campaign trail, if he is interested in working to bring people together to reduce the deficit and get people working, then I will work with him," Cruz said Tuesday in a victory speech. "But if he is re-elected and intends on continuing down this same path, then I will spend every waking moment to lead the fight to stop it."
Such pronouncements helped the 41-year-old former state solicitor general rise from the longest of long shots to become one of the few Hispanics elected to the Senate. At the start of the primary season, he was polling in the single digits, far behind Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, a formidable rival who was backed by the mainstream GOP, had overseen the state Senate since 2003 and poured more than $20 million of his vast personal fortune into his campaign.
But Cruz successfully painted Dewhurst as an establishment moderate, wowing tea party activists and eventually cruising to a primary victory. Then on Tuesday he easily beat Democrat Paul Sadler.
Cruz has called for closing federal departments and "reforming while preserving entitlements" to reduce federal spending. But he also supports proposals that could expand the federal deficit, including building a wall the length of the Texas-Mexico border, tripling the size of the Border Patrol and cutting taxes for small-business owners.
As the Republican party continues to take heat for only getting 27 percent of the Latino vote, Cruz says his party needs to do a better job communicating to the community.
"As Republicans we need to do a better job communicating our values with the Hispanic community," Cruz told Fox News' Neil Cavuto on Wednesday.
He said Latinos care about the economy and jobs like everyone else.
"The Hispanic community itself is a tremendously conservative community, those are the values the resonate," Cruz said. "I don't think we did a very effective job of making the case to the Hispanic community that the policies of the Obama administration are not working."
Making the rounds on national talk shows Wednesday, Cruz was pressed about the likely need for both parties to compromise to avoid the "fiscal cliff" of deep spending cuts and tax increases that will kick in next year without a deal in Congress.
Cruz largely refused even to utter the word "compromise" and repeated that he'd be willing to work with anyone - but only to pass sweeping spending cuts.
Meanwhile, he wasn't the only Texan vowing to fight. Gov. Rick Perry called for the newly re-elected president to repeal his own health care overhaul.
"We must hold his and Congress' feet to the fire to once-and-for-all cut spending, repeal Obamacare and withdraw federal encroachment into state decision-making and personal liberties," Perry said in a statement.
Obama's victory opened up political possibilities for Perry, who was briefly the front runner in the Republican presidential primary but flamed out with a series of embarrassing gaffes - including his infamous "oops moment," when he forgot the third federal department he had promised to eliminate if elected.
Perry, who became governor when George W. Bush left for the White House in 2000, is mulling another run for governor in 2014. But he also hasn't ruled out another presidential campaign two years after that - and didn't miss the chance to hit the Obama administration.
"The American people have given President Obama a chance to start over," his statement said, suggesting that Obama "can put an end to his reckless disregard for our rule of law and spare our nation another long, painful and expensive four years."
Cruz replaces retiring Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. He will be the state's junior senator, behind Republican John Cornyn, who struck a far more conciliatory tone.
"It's clear that, with our losses in the presidential race, and a number of key Senate races, we have a period of reflection and recalibration ahead for the Republican Party," Cornyn said in a statement. He chaired the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which watched the Democrats pick up two seats in the chamber.
"While some will want to blame one wing of the party over the other, the reality is candidates from all corners of our GOP lost tonight," Cornyn said. "Clearly we have work to do in the weeks and months ahead."

Police use 'magic water' to solve crimes
Seems concocted straight out of a TV cop-show script
(SUN-SENTINEL) — Police in Fort Lauderdale are now planning to use magic water instead of bullets to fight certain crimes, employing a new liquefied weapon that seems concocted straight out of a TV cop show script.
The liquid solution, called SmartWater CSI, leaves a semi-permanent splash on crooks that can be viewed only with the use of ultraviolet black lights.
Want to leave a mark on the robber who just hit your store? Squirt, squirt. Have a heirloom you want to mark as your own personal property instead of engraving your name on it? Squirt, squirt.
On Thursday, city and police officials in Fort Lauderdale unveiled its plans to begin using the SmartWater as a tool to combat property crimes within the city.
"We are going to have officers out there with the UV light, and we'll be looking for those SmartWater markings," said Fort Lauderdale Police Chief Frank Adderley. "It's outside-the-box thinking."

CHEHALIS, WASHINGTON -- I went into the Fashion Bug on NW Louisiana Ave. in Chehalis, WA and bought 3 pair of pants and two blouses, but was in a hurry and didn't try them on. Got home and got a few minutes to try them and the one blouse fit perfect, the turtleneck sweater was a bit large and the sleeves too long but I can fix the sleeves, a little loose otherwise is how I like my sweaters. Bear in mind, we have a wedding tomorrow and I needed something for that, the bride requested NO DENIM and the only dress I have... is denim!! I found a beautiful blouse that can be worn with a variety of pants, skirts, shorts, whatever, and it will go with all three of the pants purchased.
I tried the pants on and they all but fell down to my ankles, I've worn the same size for about 15 years so that is the size I bought... LOL... wrong answer!! I called the store and explained my dilemma and even though they are going out of business (lost their lease) they said normally they would say no, but as long as I got the same style and color, to come on in and see if they had my size. Needless to say, I was out of here and took care to try the pants on this time... YAY!! All three pair fit beautifully and I'll have a nice outfit for an outdoor wedding!
Kudos to the girls at Fashion Bug for caring and I do hope they find another location to re-open the store. BTW... 3 pair of pants and 2 blouses were $9.72 and would have retailed for $99.21 with tax... OMG!!! Am I happy? You betcha!!!
Fashion Bug does not have a confirmation number when a customer pays online. The customer is left to wait for the money to be taken out of their account. Only to find out that the payment didn't go through when you get your next statement. And when I got my next statement I paid my account off. Fashion Bug hurt my credit rating by saying they didn't receive my payment. And I didn't find this out until I requested a copy of my credit report. They said they couldn't do anything because it was past 60 days.
Well you can only get 1 free credit report a year! I would seriously NOT destroy my good paying credit record over 21 dollars. So, be warned, and be VERY careful with them if you pay online, because they will screw you over if you don't watch them!!!
ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS -- I used to be able to find just about anything I wanted by shopping at Fashion Bug. But, I went to buy a plain black skirt and could not believe that they didn't have ANY skirts. Since when does a woman's store not carry skirts? Needless to say, I was very disappointed. I have no plans of going to Fashion Bug again.

After raising a family in suburban Baltimore, Wilson later moved to New York in 1966 where she fell in with a group of avant-garde artists, including Ray Johnson. Turning away from colorful beach scenes, portraits, and landscapes, Wilson began creating what she called "ridiculous portraits"— pictures of the artist's distorted face stuck onto reproductions of paintings and photographs of idealized women, such as classical nudes and images of the Madonna —and mailing them to friends.

McGuire tackles life after football
THREE months ago he played his 150th NRL game. Now he works part-time in a Sydney hardware store.
This is the life shift that Nambour-born former Queensland Origin player Casey McGuire is dealing as he grapples with life after rugby league.
The Kawana junior - a league professional for 14 years with Parramatta, Brisbane and Super League club Catalans - has admitted to finding life after footy "very hard" and "daunting".
McGuire ended his career at the club where it started when he ran out for Parramatta in its final game last season.
The 32-year-old ex-utility had wanted to play on but a new Eels offer was not forthcoming.
He said: "It is very hard, I suppose, for anyone who has done a job for a long time and it changes … So it's a little bit daunting at the moment.
"It's sort of a hard one, just because I've done it (played league) for so long."
Despite experiencing pangs of separation from league, McGuire said he was enjoying spending time with his family and was looking forward to life's next chapter.
It was "time to move on and do something different".
The problem is, he does not seem to know what that will be.
He said: "It was definitely lucky that I got to play for so long but it's time to do something else.
"Like I said, I don't really have much new (happening). I'm playing it month by month."
McGuire said "not really" when asked if he had spoken to a local club about a coaching role for next season and was unsure if coaching was for him.
He was reported that Newcastle club Port Stephens had been keen for him to coach its first grade side next season.
After linking with Parramatta at age 17, McGuire played most of his career in the halves and at hooker.
He believes his chances of re-signing with Parramatta for 2013 ended when he tore his pectoral tendon to the bone against St George in round 12 and was sidelined for 12 weeks.
McGuire spent three seasons at the Eels, playing two first grade games, before beginning a six-year, 115-game stint with the Broncos in 2001.
He played in the Broncos' 2006 premiership side.
A four-year 98-game association with the Catalans Dragons began in 2007, with him returning to the Eels in 2011.
He is engaged to his partner of 10 years, Sam, and they have two boys, Tighe, 4, and Kalin, 3.

Argos-Shimano rider Marcel Kittel sprinted to his second stage win of this year's Tour de France on Tuesday afternoon.
The 197km Stage 10 from Saint-Gildas-des-Bois to Saint-Malo ended with a bunch sprint after a five-man breakaway was reeled in by the last 15km.
And Kittel edged out Lotto-Belisol sprint specialist Andre Greipel and Omega Pharma Quickstep rider Mark Cavendish to take the win.
Team Sky's Chris Froome retained the yellow jersey after finishing in the peloton behind the sprinters. He leads Movistar rider Alejandro Valverde by 1 minute 25 seconds.
German Kittel won Stage 1 in Corsica, and triumphed again here by sprinting clear of compatriot Greipel over the final 200metres.
But one of his lead-out men - Tom Veelers - was sent flying off his bike towards the finish after a collision with Cavendish.
The Brit appeared to nudge the Dutchman in the closing stages as Cavendish looked to pass, and the Quickstep rider may come under scrutiny for the move.
After a brutal weekend in the Pyrenees, Froome eased home with Team Sky colleague Ian Stannard alongside.
The Tour leader will look to press home his advantage over his yellow jersey rivals in the individual time trial tomorrow. Stage 11 is a 33km trip from Avranches to Mont-Saint-Michel.

Heirloom Tomato and Lemon Mascarpone Tart

Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Inspired by the fresh fruit tart, this is a great way to showcase the beautiful colors and shapes of your heirloom tomatoes. Here I used a basic pie crust taught to me by my mother (with shortening), but you can use your favorite or ready made. - nannydeb —nannydeb
Food52 Review: What we love most about this summer tart is the fact that nannydeb doesn't cook the tomatoes, but rather leaves them to shine in all their juicy glory -- that, and the addictive combination of the tomatoes, creamy mascarpone, savory crust, and grassy, garlicky basil oil. What's more, we learned a nifty new technique: you can use a paste of flour and water instead of plain ice water to bring the dough together. This tart would make a very elegant first course, or, paired with a green salad, a perfect lunch al fresco. - A&M —The Editors

A timeline of key events in Washington Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis' military career, based on documents the Navy released Monday:
June 3, 2004 — About three years prior to his enlistment in the Navy Reserves, Alexis was arrested in Seattle and charged with malicious mischief for shooting the tires on a construction worker's vehicle. He remained in jail overnight and was released on his own recognizance. No charges were filed.
May 5, 2007 — Alexis enlisted in the Navy Reserve at the New York Military Entrance Processing Station in Brooklyn.
July 10, 2007 — Alexis graduated from recruit training at Great Lakes, Ill.
Aug. 4, 2007 — Office of Personnel Management closes its standard secret-level investigation of Alexis that started when he enlisted. OPM discovered his 2004 arrest and interviewed him about it, but its final report did not mention any firearm use. It said instead that Alexis had "deflated the tires on a construction worker's vehicle."
Dec. 15, 2007— Alexis graduated from Aviation Electrician's Mate "A'' School and transferred to Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 46 in Atlanta. He remained with this squadron for his entire time in the Navy. The squadron relocated to Fort Worth, Texas, in 2009.
March 11, 2008 — A Navy review of the OPM investigation determined Alexis was eligible for a secret-level security clearance, with a single caution about his negative credit history. At the time, a secret clearance was good for 10 years.
Sept. 23, 2008 — Alexis received a non-judicial punishment for unauthorized absence that included forfeiture of one-half day of pay per month for two months and a reduction of one pay grade. Both were suspended. Alexis was absent because he was in jail Aug. 10-11 in DeKalb County, Ga., following an arrest for disorderly conduct outside a nightclub. The incident stayed on his service record from that date forward.
July 12, 2009 — Alexis received a second non-judicial punishment for being drunk and disorderly and was reduced one pay grade. This NJP was due to Alexis leaping off stairs and breaking his ankle while reportedly intoxicated. There was no police involvement. Alexis appealed.
Dec. 3, 2009 — Alexis' second NJP was set aside on appeal, based on a finding that there was insufficient evidence to prove he was intoxicated at the time of the incident. The report of NJP was removed from his record.
Sept. 5, 2010 — Alexis was arrested in Fort Worth for discharging a firearm in his residence the previous day. According to law enforcement documents, Alexis said he accidentally discharged the firearm while cleaning it. No charges were filed. After his arrest, Alexis' commanding officer initiated proceedings to administratively separate him from the Navy. But when Alexis was not charged for unlawfully discharging a firearm, the proceedings were halted.
Dec. 2, 2010 — Alexis requested separation from the Navy under a program that allowed sailors to request an early release.
Dec. 9, 2010 — Navy Personnel Command approved Alexis' request for separation.
Jan. 31, 2011 — Alexis received an Honorable discharge, with the most favorable re-entry code.
Feb. 22, 2011 — Alexis was issued a Navy Reserve Identification and Privilege card.
Sept. 16, 2013 — Alexis gunned down 12 workers in the nation's capital at the Washington Navy Yard, where he was working as an information technology contractor. He was killed in a police shootout.

Checking in on… the NECPosted by Brian Goodman on January 9th, 2011
Ray Floriani of College Chalk Talk is the RTC correspondent for the MAAC and NEC.
(ed. note – this week's check-in was penned before Friday night's action.)
A Look Back
The week brought on the resumption of Northeast Conference play. Thursday saw the membership battling in conference meetings, which continue until late season.
Besides NEC play heating up again, there was a milestone to remember. Dave Bike of Sacred Heart won his 500th game, as the Pioneers downed Holy Cross 77-75 on January 2. Bike has been on the Sacred Heart sideline for 33 years and had an overall record of 500-451. Make that 501 as the Pioneers defeated FDU on the road in their first NEC get-ogether of the new year.
Power Rankings
1. Wagner (3-0, 7-7 overall) is enjoying a two game winning streak with home wins over Quinnipiac and Robert Morris. Both victories came after the new year. Danny Hurley's club averages an offensive efficiency of 97. Against Qunnipiac, they were 116 and followed that up with a 117 in the recent win over Robert Morris.
Notable: The backcourt starred in a loss to Texas A&M. Junior guard Chris Martin scored 17 points, hitting four of nine attempts from beyond the arc. Freshman guard Latif Rivers added 13 points.
2. Central Connecticut (1-1, 8-3 overall). Central ran away from, UMass 92-63 in their first contest of the new year. Offensive efficiency was an outstanding 130 while the Minutemen were held to 89. CCSU also forced a 24% TO rate in a 71 possession contest. Later on, they defeated St. Francis (NY) 61-43, for a fifth straight win. The Blue Devils sported a season best defensive performance, holding the Terriers to 66 OE.
Notable: Junior forward Ken Horton hit the 1,000 point milestone. He hit the select circle faster than any player in the Blue Devils' 25-year history.
3. FDU (2-0, 3-8 overall) The Knights dropped a fifth straight game, losing 98-92 to Lafayette in two overtimes on Sunday. An 88-possession game saw FDU post a 104 OE only to give up 111 on the other end. The score at the half was 29-26 in FDU's favor. In the two overtimes, Lafayette outscored the Knights 31-25 as the points came fast and furious. In NEC action, FDU tied a season low, 75 OE in a 67-50 loss to Sacred Heart.
Notable: Senior guard Mike Scott had a 'stat stuffer' game against Lafayette. Scott tied his career high with 23 points while adding seven rebounds and eight assists. Senior forward Kamil Svrdlik has four double-doubles on the season.
4. LIU (2-1, 10-4 overall) Resumed conference play with a 75-55 victory at Bryant. The Blackbirds have won fourth straight and been over 100 offensive efficiency in each game. For the season, the uptempo (76 possessions per) LIU club averages an OE of 107.
Notable: Freshman guard Shane Brickman captured Co-Rookie of the Week accolades with 14 points and eight assists per game performance in two road wins. Brickman shot 57% from the floor over those two contests.
5. Quinnipiac (2-1, 10-3 overall) A 70-possession pace team, the Bobcats were slowed into a 65-possession affair in their 72-70 win at Monmouth. Keys in this contest were Quinnipiac's outstanding 19% TO rate and a fine 1.28 assist to turnover ratio. A 99 defensive efficiency team, the Bobcats gave up an abnormally high 108 efficiency but still managed a tough road win.
Notable: Senior forward Justin Rutty scored 26 points while grabbing ten rebounds in a win over Boston University. It was the 36th double-double of Rutty's career.
6. St. Francis (NY) (2-1, 7-7 overall) The Terriers were dealt their first conference loss of the season, a 61-43 beating at Central Connecticut. St. Francis averages a 96 offensive efficiency clip, but was held to a season-low 66 by the Blue Devils. In a strange sequence, St. Francis forced Central into a 31% TO rate and had an excellent 16% in the same category. A forgettable 25% eFG mark by the Terriers goes a long way in telling the story of the outcome.
Notable: Senior guards Ricky Cadell and Akeem Bennett came close to outscoring the opposition. The pair combined for 38 points in a 72-47 rout of NJIT.
7. Mount St. Mary's (2-1, 4-12 overall) Ended an eight-game losing streak with a 63-56 win over St. Francis (PA) at the Knotts Center. Despite a tough non-conference start, the Mount is in the NEC picture with their only loss being a tough two-point setback to pre-season favorite Quinnipiac.
Notable: Junior guard Lamar Trice averaged 1.9 points per game last season. Currently, Trice leads the Mountaineers in scoring at a 12.8 points per game clip. Trice led the Mount with 15 points on five treys in a loss to Virginia Tech.
8. Monmouth (1-1, 5-7 overall). Defeated Bryant 66-57 in a home game just after new years. Defensive efficiency was an outstanding 85 in that meeting. For the season, Monmouth's DE is a dead-on average 100. Offensive efficiency was 99 against the Bulldogs, nine higher than their season norm. The Hawks then dropped a 72-70 home decision to Quinnipiac. A 25% TO rate largely contributed to the Hawks undoing.
Notable: Will Campbell hit for 17 points in a narrow loss to Harvard. The junior guard logged 27 minutes and shot 3-6 from three point range. Campbell, unfortunately, was one of four players recently suspended indefinitely by coach Dave Calloway due to academic reasons.
9. Robert Morris (1-2, 5-9 overall) Dropped an 83-78 contest at Wagner. The Colonials give up a 99 defensive efficiency mark but allowed an extremely high 117 in the loss to the Seahawks. All three of Robert Morris' NEC contests have been away from the Sewell Center's friendly confines.
Notable: Sophomore guard Karon Abraham averaged 16.7 points per game over a three game stretch. Abraham hit a career high 28 points in an OT win over Ohio University.
10. Sacred Heart (1-2, 6-8 overall) Scored a nice 67-50 road win at FDU. Sacred Heart had been winless in NEC action and FDU had taken both conference meetings at home. In a 67 possession game, FDU was forced into a 24% TO rate and held to an offensive efficiency of 75.
Notable: Shane Gibson, a sophomore guard, earned NEC Player of the Week honors with 26 and 21 points in respective outings against Providence and Holy Cross.
11. Bryant (0-3, 2-13 overall) The efficiency margin (offense – defense) is better than last year but still a -17 in need of improvement. This was reflected in a 75-55 home loss to LIU, where the Bulldogs were 80 on the offensive end and 109 defensively. To rate was an impressive 16% against the Blackbirds.
Notable: Freshman forward Alex Bryant averaged 20.3 points, 9.7 rebounds for the Bulldogs. Bryant earned NEC Co-Rookie of the Week honors.
12. St. Francis (PA) (0-3, 2-12 overall) Not an easy road for the Red Flash. Following non-league road losses at powerful Cincinnati and North Carolina, they resumed NEC play at Mount St. Mary's. The result was closer but similar as the Flash suffered a 63-56 setback.
Notable: Sophomore forward Will Felder paced St. Francis with a 15-point, eight-rebound average in two games just prior to the resumption of NEC action. Felder had 18 points and seven boards in the loss at North Carolina.

- Bryant at Quinnipiac

Both artists are set to perform May 29 in Oklahoma City United Way benefit
NBC to air concert live, with several cable networks also providing coverage
Usher and Darius Rucker have been added to the lineup of performers set to hit the stage for the May 29 "Healing in the Heartland: Relief Benefit Concert" organized and headlined by Blake Shelton. Others set to perform include Luke Bryan, Rascal Flatts and Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic, as well as Grammy Award-winning artists Miranda Lambert, Reba and Vince Gill.
Usher is a coach alongside Shelton on NBC's "The Voice" and is a multi-platinum recording artist. He has been ranked by the Recording Industry Association of America as one of the best-selling artists in American music history, having sold more than 44 million albums worldwide.
Rucker, who has been the lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish since the band was formed in 1986, is now a certified country performer. His latest album, "True Believers," included the release of single "Wagon Wheels," which hit No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Chart.
Tickets for the concert went on sale Saturday morning and sold out in under five minutes. The event will take place May 29 at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City. The concert will be televised live at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. It will also air on cable networks Style, G4, Bravo, E! and CMT on either a live or delayed basis.
"Everyone has their way to help, and mine as an entertainer is to perform to help raise money and awareness for this tragedy," Shelton said. "This is why I want to do this special and especially hold it in Oklahoma City, which is near ground zero."
The event will raise funds for the United Way of Central Oklahoma May Tornadoes Relief Fund. Working with its local community partners, United Way of Central Oklahoma will use the fund for immediate, intermediate and long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts in Oklahoma following the tornadoes that devastated Moore earlier this month.
R.A. Clark (Academy of Country Music Awards, MDA Show of Strength Telethon) is executive producer. Rob Paine is supervising producer and Gregg Gelfand is director. Gene Pack is the writer for the special.

Ellsworth man breaks 22-year-old record
PRATT — The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) has certified a new Kansas state record striped bass that was caught in Wilson Reservoir on May 14, breaking a record that had stood for 22 years. Paul Bahr, Ellsworth, hauled the monster 44-inch, 44-pounder from the lake about 7 p.m. using live shad for bait. After Bahr's fish was weighed on a certified scale, witnessed, and the species confirmed by KDWP fisheries biologist Tommie Berger, Bahr waited the required 30 days before the fish was officially certified a new state record.
Wilson is one of the few reservoirs in the state that harbors a viable striped bass population, and the previous record was taken at this lake, as well. That fish weighed 43.5 pounds and was taken by Sylvan Grove resident Chester Nily in May of 1988.
Striped bass are native to the Atlantic coastline of North America from the St. Lawrence River into the Gulf of Mexico to approximately Louisiana. They are anadromous, meaning that they migrate between saltwater and freshwater, where they spawn. Although they can survive in some Kansas reservoirs, the water must be somewhat clear, and peak summer temperatures must remain relatively cool. Natural reproduction has not been documented in Kansas waters. Stripers were first introduced in Kansas in early 1970s, but fishable populations may only be found in Wilson, Cheney, and La Cygne reservoirs.
A potential state record fish must remain intact until it is weighed and officially identified. Anyone who believes they have caught a state record fish must bring the fish to a grocery store or other business with certified scales as soon as possible. The weighing must be witnessed. The fish must be species-confirmed by a KDWP fisheries biologist. (A tissue sample may be required.) A color photograph of the fish must accompany the application. The fish must be weighed before it is frozen.
All applications for state records require a 30-day waiting period before certification. For a list of Kansas state record fish, visit the KDWP website, www.kdpw.state.ks.us, or pick up a copy of the Kansas Fishing Regulations Summary wherever licenses are sold.

Uncover the balmy highlands of Vietnam on an active adventure
From hidden highland villages to intricate underground tunnels, there's more to Vietnam than meets the eye. Join us on an exploration of southern and central Vietnam and uncover a country filled with intrigue, rich culture and an eclectic mix of Eurasian cuisine. Encounter the extraordinary war remnants and tantalising street food of Ho Chi Minh City, the French charisma of Dalat, and the folk history of Buon Ma Thuot. Take a healthy dose of adventure with your history too, with motorbike rides around the Forbidden Purple City of Hue and spelunking through the underground caves in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park. With surprises waiting in just about every forest, market and pagoda, this is an adventure you won't soon forget.
Due to flight schedule changes, we will now be staying overnight in Buon Ma Thuot on Day 7 and flying to Danang on Day 8.
Discover a slice of Paris in the East in the picturesque town of Dalat. Explore the opulent summer palace of Bo Dai and stop in at the mouth-watering local market.
Trek through the lush forests of the Central Highlands, where homestays in tiny villages give you a rare insight into rural life and ethnic minority cultures.
Enjoy a guided walking tour through the atmospheric streets of Hoi An's historic Old Town, one of Vietnam's most charming destinations
Learn the ways and history of the ethnic Co Tu people during an overnight stay in the highland village of Bho Hoong
With its sprawling array of attractions, the imperial city of Hue is best explored from the back of a motorbike and with a dragon boat cruise down the Perfume River
Sample the literal underground life on a two-day spelunking adventure through the enormous caves and subterranean rivers of the Tu Lan Cave system, just outside of Phong Nha
There is a considerable amount of walking and trekking involved on this trip, and a good level of fitness is required. For Tu Lan trek and caving from Phong Nha this includes a moderately demanding hike through remote and rocky terrain with over a 30 m (100 ft) ascent and then descent. In addition you will be swimming in rivers through subterranean caves sometimes against the current, and climbing up into natural caves
You will stay in simple homestays for two nights in multishare accommodation, with shared bathroom facilities. The experience of spending time with the local people will be more than worth it, not to mention the home cooked dinners prepared by your hosts.
This is South East Asia, so be prepared for some balmy conditions. Dalat tends to to be cooler, however the central highlands where your hiking takes place and Ho Chi Minh City can be really hot. At any rate, be sure to drink plenty of water and use adequate sun protection.
There is one night of camping in the forest with no facilities. Please be prepared for a camping expedition, although all the camping gear will be carried by porters.
In some parts of the Tu Lan Cave system you will swim through subterranean rivers surrounded by limestone formations, and climb, squeeze up into completely enclosed sections of dry cave with no natural light sources. If you suffer from claustrophobia perhaps reconsider if this is suitable.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Forecasters have issued a flash flood watch for much of soggy South Carolina, saying it won't take a lot of rain to cause major flooding.
The National Weather Service said Thursday's watch is for areas north and west of a line from Orangeburg to Sumter to Cheraw.
Forecasters say a weak cold front will enhance chances for heavy rain. They say all it will take is an inch or 2 of rain in a short time to cause major flooding.
The weather service says nearly 43 inches of rain have fallen at the Greenville-Spartanburg airport in 2013, making it the second wettest year ever recorded to date. The Columbia airport has received 9 inches of rain since the start of June and Charleston has had 15.24 inches of rain.

Urbies initial purpose is mobile military reconnaissance in city terrain but many of its features will also make it useful to police, emergency, and rescue personnel. The robot is rugged and well-suited for hostile environments and its autonomy lends Urbie to many different applications. Such robots could investigate urban environments contaminated with radiation, biological warfare, or chemical spills. They could also be used for search and rescue in earthquake-struck buildings and other disaster zones.
To be able to investigate dangerous areas, Urbie has been outfitted with many different sensors and cameras. These include among others, stereo cameras, an Omnicam, three-axis gyros and accelerometers, digital compass, and a high-precision gps. In the future Urbie will also carry a night-vision camera and a two-axis scanning laser rangefinder.

Parenthood has made a believer out of Josh Lucas!
The new dad admits he and his wife Jessica previously scoffed at overly enthusiastic parents, but the pair have had a change of heart since the birth of their first child, son Noah Rev, in June.
"My wife and I always joked about the fact that we thought people were just drinking the Kool-Aid, like the whole thing was a scam," the Red Dog actor, 41, tells Access Hollywood Live.
Noting that "everyone says [parenthood is] the best thing you've ever done," Lucas is completely head over heels for his 10-week-old baby boy.
"From day one it's the most amazing thing," he notes. "I will go sleepless and die for this child already."
Only adding to Lucas's wonderment is the current status of his son.
"I'm still dealing with a blob," he says. "I'm still dealing with something that's just now beginning to communicate through smiling and through these magical little moments that happen only very briefly through the day."
Known for flashing his sweet smile onscreen, Lucas jokes that Noah doesn't seem to be following in his father's footsteps.
"My child, so far, is remarkably unphotogenic," he says with a laugh. "It's quite weird. He's a great looking kid, but [in] every photograph he just looks bizarre!"

- ATP World Tour Finals
London still calling for players and fans alikeJo Carter at the O2 Arena November 7, 2012
'London Calling' may have had its day - organisers of this year's ATP World Tour Finals have ditched The Clash for something more contemporary, but as the players make their way onto the court at the O2 Arena, Rudimental's 'Feel the Love' seems equally appropriate as the players continue to enjoy all that London has to offer.
The ATP announced on Wednesday that the season finale would be staying in London for another three years - until 2015, a move that makes sense both for the players and as a business decision.
"It's a beautiful stadium to play in," Murray said after his opening victory over Tomas Berdych. "It's a different atmosphere to most of the tournaments we're at. We take the boat to the courts, which we don't do anywhere else, we have our own locker rooms. It's a nice tournament - they put on a great event."
The Masters Grand Prix, as it was then called known, spent 13 years in New York between 1977 and 1989, but has since enjoyed a nomadic existence, with Frankfurt, Lisbon, Houston, Sydney and Shanghai among the host cities.
London may have successfully negotiated another two years, but there were obviously calls for the tournament to move on, and the success of the London event means people were queuing up to take it off their hands.
While Novak Djokovic has no complaints about the organisation of the event, the world No. 1, wearing his tennis ambassador's hat, feels the tournament should be used to strengthen the sport's global appeal by taking it to new territories.
"I am actually one of the players that supports the global promotion of this event and this sport in general," he said. "So I think that after being held five years here, we should give the opportunities to other cities around the world to have this tournament, because in that way we can promote the sport in best possible way."
Roger Federer on the future of the ATP World Tour Finals
Djokovic has a point. After hosting the year-end championships in 2002, and then for another three years between 2005 and 2008, China has had a grand slam champion in Li Na and now hosts high-profile events on both the WTA and ATP Tours - Beijing is one of four Premier Mandatory tournaments for the women and Shanghai now hosts a Masters 1000 event.
In that sense, Brazil - host nation of the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics - seemed a logical destination. With money being poured into bolstering the nation's sporting infrastructure, Federer is leading the crusade into South America when he goes on a tour of Brazil, Argentina and Colombia later this year.
"It's something really new for me, something that doesn't happen every day, that I go to such big, exciting countries, even though I've been to 40 or 50 countries in my life," he said. "I love it. This is why I love playing tennis still, seeing different countries, different people, different atmosphere, all that stuff.
"I'm very excited to be going there. I hear there's great vibe around it. I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it and hopefully put on a good show for the fans who are going to come see me play."
As ATP Player Council president, Federer is more aware than most that it is not just what the players want, but he thinks London will be hard to beat.
"I think it ticks all the boxes. I think successful, liked by the players," he said before Wednesday's announcement. "The fans have really come here in big numbers. It seems really like it's working out well.
"If they stay here, that's great. If they move, they better make sure it's a great place that makes sense for tennis, for the business, for our schedule. But I'm sure at this point the ATP is going to take the right decision here."
It's not just about who offers the most money. Especially now that the season has been abridged by two weeks - thanks in part to the decision to cut out the week between Paris and London - travelling time needs to be taken into account.
The O2 Arena is around 450 kilometres from the Palais Omnisports in Paris-Bercy, meaning that Ferrer, a winner in Paris on Sunday, could be in London to fulfil his media obligations the following afternoon.
If Ferrer had to travel to Shanghai, Sydney or San Francisco, it would be an altogether different prospect. Paris to London on the Eurostar is just over two hours and there is no jet lag to contend with.
After wins in Valencia and Paris in successive weeks before heading straight to London, Ferrer will be off to Prague for the Davis Cup final next week, where he will lead the Spanish charge in the absence of the injured Rafael Nadal.
Asked whether he would rather have a week's break to recover, he replied: "No, I prefer Paris, London and Davis Cup back-to-back because the calendar is very strong for us."
If the current ATP Tour calendar is to be maintained, the season finale needs to stay in Europe, where seven of the eight finalists in London - Argentina's Juan Martin Del Potro being the exception - come from.
With over 250,000 people flocking to the event every year and Murray's Olympic victory and US Open triumph boosting ticket sales this time around, the British fans are showing no sign of getting tired with the event, and ATP president Brad Drewitt admitted the O2 Arena offered a "spectacular stage" for its biggest event.
Echoing the sentiments of Rudimental, the players and the fans are feeling the love for the O2 Arena, so it looks like London will be calling for a few more years after all.

Derry voters increase school budgetBy ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent
February 04. 2013 10:41PM
DERRY - At a school district deliberative session attended by only a tiny fraction of the town's registered voters on Saturday morning, it took only 54 votes to place an $800,000 increase over the proposed school budget on the town election ballot.
With Derry Education Association president Meg Morse-Barry's successful motion to increase the budget proposed by the school administration and approved by the school board, voters will be considering an $81,903,691 budget at the polls on Tuesday, March 12.
However, that increased number may not have any real impact on the services provided by the school district.
Morse-Barry and those who supported the amended budget cited the 14 proposed staffing cuts, including 7.5 teaching positions, as the main reason to support adding money back to the budget. The budget as originally approved by the school board was a 1.65 percent increase over the current year's budget.
"Usually, I am concerned about the budget being cut beyond the board recommendations at the deliberative session," said school board member Ken Linehan. "This time it was certainly different. I was disappointed that only 80 people showed up for the meeting."
Linehan said the amendment approved on Saturday will be an unnecessary burden for taxpayers.
"I expect the district will still spend based upon the previous board-approved budget and the positions will still be eliminated," he said. "Unfortunately, we will now need to collect an unnecessary additional amount of money through property taxes and just give it back at the end of the 2013-14 school year."
The positions that were eliminated were chosen because they represented excess levels of staffing, according to Linehan.
"Through the good work done by the administrative team and looking at the district as a whole, efficiency improvements were identified," he said. "With these staff reductions, no programs will be cut and class sizes will still fall within the Derry School District goals, which are lower than state standards. It would be irresponsible of the district to spend taxpayer money in excess of what is necessary, regardless of how much is in the budget."
School board chairman Brenda Willis said she was also surprised by the motion at Saturday's meeting, but added that she voted against the proposed budget at the public hearing last month because she was concerned about some of the cuts.
"It is also frustrating to me to see nearly a 3 percent increase at Pinkerton Academy, with additions to their staff, while K-8 has to absorb all the cuts in revenue," said Willis. "The impact of cuts needs to be seriously looked at, not only for the next year, but five and 10 years out."
Willis said the school board has been working on the district strategic plan as it looks to the future.
"We need to review our facilities and the educational needs of our students and then continue to develop the plan and adjust it accordingly," she said. "There is much hard work ahead for the district, and much to be considered as to how we can best provide for our children and our community."

'We Need to Talk About Kevin'
The scene: Tilda Swinton crowd surfs Spain's La Tomatina festival. Cinematographer: Thomas Townend, second unit cinematographer Birth of the shot: Cinematographer Seamus McGarvey "was already working on 'The Avengers,' so my entire involvement with the movie lasted for the one-hour, 15-minute duration of the festival. I had a shot list, and the fun pressure of getting them in that allotted time." Making it work: "We had two cameras on balconies and two in the street. It's 40,000 people, most of whom have been up all night drinking, crammed into a very small space. We got the shot above the seething crowd first and then went out with Tilda [Swinton]. We had six guys with us dressed as revelers and they held Tilda aloft." Shot significance: "There's the hint of her former life as a travel writer. The color red from the festival contains obvious symbolism, given what happens later. And the shots from above, since they're filmed in slow-motion, deliberately distorts the reality, which is quite unhinged. In the film, it looks much more elegant."

January 27. 2014 10:01PM

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rock band Stone Temple Pilots on Wednesday said they had fired singer Scott Weiland - a decision which appeared to have surprised the band's founding member and the voice behind the its biggest hits of the 1990s.
"Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland," the band, which now consists of bassist Robert DeLeo, guitarist Dean DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz, said in a statement.
The band declined to give a reason for firing Weiland.
"I learned of my supposed 'termination' from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press," Weiland said in a statement.
"Not sure how I can be 'terminated' from a band that I founded, fronted and co-wrote many of its biggest hits, but that's something for the lawyers to figure out," he added.
Weiland, 45, whose growling vocals and dyed bright red hair became a symbol of the grunge era in the early 1990s, helped the Stone Temple Pilots score hits with guitar-heavy songs like "Plush" in 1993 and "Interstate Love Song" the following year.
The band broke up in 2003 and reformed in 2008.
During that interval Weiland was in the rock group Velvet Revolver with former members of Guns N' Roses among others.
Weiland, who has admitted to struggling with drug abuse in the past, begins a month-long solo U.S. concert tour on Friday in Flint, Michigan.

James McDonald allowed three runs and struck out five over 5 1/3 innings vs. the Blue Jays on Wednesday. (AP)
BRADENTON, Fla. — Carlos Paulino drilled an RBI single with one out in the 10th inning Wednesday, giving the Pirates a 5-4 victory over the Blue Jays.
Paulino's drive to the center-field wall — he was credited with a single, as he stopped running before reaching second — off Tommy Hottovy (0-2) scored Kelson Brown, who was running for Tony Sanchez.
Kyle Waldrop (1-0), the Bucs' fifth pitcher, blanked the Blue Jays in the top of the 10th.
It was the Pirates' second straight walk-off win, and their fourth straight overall, improving their record to 8-10. Toronto fell to 7-10-1.
A record crowd of 8,439 at McKechnie Field saw an impressive outing by starter James McDonald.
McDonald recovered from a rough start to become the first Pirates pitcher this spring to work into the sixth inning.
Four of Toronto's first five batters reached base — including Emilio Bonifacio on an infield single which third baseman Pedro Alvarez threw wildly for an error that scored one run. Adam Lind followed soon after with an RBI single.
From that point on, McDonald retired 14 of 16 batters until leaving following a one-out single in the sixth by Lind — who eventually scored on Mike Nickeas' single off reliever Mark Melancon to give Toronto a 3-1 lead. McDonald allowed five hits and three runs in 5 1/3 innings, with two walks and five strikeouts.
Buehrle allowed four hits, walked one and did not have a strikeout.
The Pirates had cut the deficit to 2-1 in the third when Starling Marte tripled and scored on Andrew McCutchen's single.
With the Bucs trailing, 4-1, in the eighth, Josh Harrison made it 4-2 with an RBI single off Neil Wagner, and Pittsburgh tied it with two runs in the bottom of the ninth.
Felix Pie led off the ninth with a home run off Tyson Brummett, Toronto's sixth pitcher. Pinch-hitter Lucas May walked and pinch-runner Dan Grovatt advanced to second on Alex Presley's grounder before scoring on a two-out ground-rule double by Harrison, his fourth consecutive hit in the last two games, to make it 4-4.
Up next: The Pirates travel to Clearwater on Thursday for their second of two spring games against the Phillies, who had blanked them on one hit on March 4. Kyle McPherson will make a start important for his rotation candidacy, coming off two outings in which he allowed a combined eight runs in 5 2/3 innings.

Date: Mar 06, 2009
Press Release Number: 32
|Memorandum of Understanding Will Provide for City Oversight of Cranes at World Trade Center
Buildings Commissioner Robert LiMandri and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Executive Director Chris Ward signed an agreement today that will create a new process to verify that any crane or derrick erected, dismantled, jumped, or operated on Port Authority properties in New York City conform to the safety standards set by the NYC Construction Codes and Department of Buildings (DOB) regulations.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the Port Authority has agreed to obtain DOB review and approval of a crane or derrick's prototype before installing and operating it on a job site. In addition, a crane or derrick on Port Authority property will be subject to annual inspection by DOB's Cranes and Derricks Unit. The Port Authority will issue a certificate of on-site inspection of a crane or derrick when they determine the equipment complies with all of the City's technical and safety regulations before it is operated. The Port Authority will also ensure that only riggers and crane operators licensed by DOB will erect, dismantle, jump, and use a crane or derrick on their properties.
"This new agreement is a significant step forward in our efforts to ensure that all cranes are safely erected and operated in New York City," Commissioner LiMandri said. "We look forward to continuing to strengthen our partnership with the Port Authority on construction safety issues so New Yorkers are better protected than ever before."
"The Port Authority is committed to the safety and security of workers at our job sites, including the World Trade Center," said Port Authority Chairman Anthony Coscia. "This MOU is another tool we'll use to achieve our goal of an injury-free workplace."
" Our job is to make the World Trade Center site, and all of our projects, safe for the workers and safe for the people who live and work around them," said Port Authority Executive Director Chris Ward. "This initiative will help us do that. I want to thank Commissioner LiMandri and the Department of Buildings for their continued partnership on this effort."
There are currently 24 cranes at the World Trade Center site. The Port Authority is responsible for the oversight of the erection, dismantling, use and operation of cranes and derricks at their sites, but as part of this agreement, the Port Authority will provide certification to DOB that the cranes and derricks currently installed and being operated at these sites comply with the City's technical and safety requirements. The Port Authority will regularly submit to DOB a report identifying all cranes and derricks at the World Trade Center Site.
The MOU signed today builds upon past agreements between the City and the Port Authority that were signed in 1993 and 2004. As part of this new agreement, the Port Authority will maintain a file for each crane and derrick and share those files with DOB upon request. The Port Authority will grant access to DOB Inspectors to conduct crane inspections, and if any violating conditions are found, DOB will issue a Letter of Deficiency that could include a Stop Work Order. The Port Authority has agreed to promptly correct violating conditions and to notify DOB in writing of corrective action taken within 72 hours of the letter of deficiency.
In the fall of 2007, a Working Group of City agencies, led by Deputy Mayor Edward Skyler, developed 33 recommendations after a comprehensive review of the regulation of construction, demolition and abatement operations, agency practices regarding enforcement and the way these operations are carried out in the field. The working group's full report is available at http://www.nyc.gov/html/dep/pdf/pr277-08_safety_report.pdf.
The MOU signed today is an important step towards fulfilling the recommendation that urges the City to enter into agreements with federal and state property owners to allow inspections by City agencies and assure code compliance so that these agencies have critical information about conditions at these properties that could affect public safety.

Dear Editor:
On Thursday, July 4, 2013, the City of Hoboken was a prime viewing destination for the 37th Annual Macy's Fireworks Spectacular. As expected, crowds estimated well over 100, 000 people (both residents and visitors alike) settled upon the waterfront area(s) to take part in the celebration of Independence Day.
An event of this magnitude required extensive planning and coordination to ensure safety and security remained the primary focus. This year's event required stricter security procedures, tighter checkpoints, limited accessibility and more restrictions on the number and type of items allowed in designated viewing areas. Although countless hours were spent on the preparation and planning phase for this event, a special acknowledgement and heartfelt thanks is in order for the general public. The display of cooperation, patience and understanding was crucial to the overall success of the entire operation.
I also want to thank my commanding officers for their continued display of leadership and proactive planning to ensure that public safety was maintained throughout the day. The level of commitment to the public and the rank and file were evident.
A special and most deserving acknowledgement is required for each and every police officer that worked tirelessly throughout the day, amidst the extreme heat, to ensure the plan was carried out to completion. These officers were required to check each and every spectator along the waterfront areas to ensure safety was maintained for all, conduct pedestrian and traffic control and enforcement, and respond to numerous calls throughout the day. Many officers were asked to do "triple duty" at times to ensure the levels of security and traffic control were maintained. I could not be more proud of the effort and level of professionalism displayed.
Lastly, I would like to give a big thanks for the support and assistance of the following agencies that helped this department significantly; Union City Police Department, Hoboken Volunteer Ambulance Corps, McCabe Ambulance, Hoboken Parking Authority, Hudson County Prosecutors Office, Bergen County Rapid Deployment Force, Jersey City Police Department, Westfield Police Department, Port Authority Police Department, New Jersey Transit Police Department, Hudson County Sheriff's Office, Stevens Police Department, Hoboken Traffic & Signal Division, OEM and the Hudson County Command Center.

Thousands lose power in Greeley, surrounding towns
September 5, 2013
About 9,000 Xcel Energy customers in Greeley, Evans, Keenesburg, Kersey, LaSalle and Lafayette experienced power outages Sunday afternoon.
At 2:07 p.m., a disturbance on the Xcel transmission system affected about 5,200 customers, with power being restored at 3:08 p.m., according to Mark Stutz, a spokesperson for the company.
The cause of the disturbance was unknown Friday, Stutz added.
He said that transmission outage may have caused a separate disturbance in parts of Greeley and Evans, which also started at 2:07 p.m. and impacted another 3,800 customers, but only lasted for 11 minutes.

The New York Times website was disrupted for several hours on Tuesday after an online attack on the company's domain name registrar. Twitter was also targeted in the attack. A hacktivist group targeted the newspaper's domain name system provider, MelbourneIT. But the problem stemmed from a security lapse at a domain reseller.
The attackers used phishing, social engineering and stolen account credentials. They likely searched though contacts, connections, vendors and clients for the weakest link in order to gain entry, said Ben April, a senior threat researcher at Trend Micro. Meanwhile, Kevin Houle, director of threat intelligence at Dell SecureWorks' Counter Threat Unit, pointed out that usernames and passwords are still weak links in the security stack. The security experts said some of the following measures could have avoided the attack.
