A Teacher Bailed a Man Out of Jail. Then She Vanished
The search continues in Arizona for a missing kindergarten teacher who vanished after bailing a man out of jail last week.
The Arizona Republic reports that there's still no sign of 44-year-old Cathryn Gorospe of Glendale, who headed over to Flagstaff's Coconino County Jail on Friday night to arrange for the release of 27-year-old Charlie Malzahn, whose relationship to Gorospe is still unclear.
Malzahn was taken into custody Monday and charged with using Gorospe's credit and debit cards in Tucson; police say he was found in Gorospe's SUV, with bloodstains in the vehicle's interior. Investigators note Malzahn has refused to offer any information on Gorospe.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States said on Monday it still may cut economic or military aid to Egypt but has not made any decision to do so after the Egyptian military's violent crackdown on protesters in which almost 900 people have died in the last week.
President Barack Obama's administration is uneasy at events in Egypt, which has suffered its worst political violence in modern history since the Egyptian army and police used force to break up sit-ins by supporters of ousted President Mohamed Mursi.
The Egyptian military on July 3 overthrew Mursi, who emerged from Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood movement to become the country's first freely elected president last year after the February 2011 fall of long-time authoritarian ruler Hosni Mubarak.
The United States has refused to call Mursi's ouster a military coup and it has never called for him to be reinstated.
Nor has done much to curb the extensive military and economic aid that Cairo receives from Washington.
On July 24, Obama decided to suspend the delivery of four F-16 fighters to Egypt and on August 15 he canceled a regular military exercise with the Egyptian army.
However, he has largely left the aid intact. In recent years, it has run at roughly $1.3 billion in military assistance and about $250 million in economic aid annually.
Because of the across-the-board U.S. government spending cuts, U.S. aid to Egypt in the current fiscal year to September 30 will be slightly lower, amounting to about $1.23 billion for the military and $241 million in economic aid.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki denied a New York Times report on Monday that the department had put a hold on its funding for economic programs that directly involve the Egyptian government.
Psaki told reporters the State Department was reviewing the economic aid to see how much, if any, might be curtailed as a result of Mursi's ouster and the subsequent violence in Egypt, but stressed that no decisions had been made.
She said this might apply to less than half of the $241 million but was unable to provide a specific amount.
Under U.S. law, economic aid that goes to non-governmental groups as well as to government programs that promote free and fair elections, health, the environment, democracy, rule of law, and good governance are exempt from such a cut-off, Psaki said.
Economic programs that do not cover these areas may be affected, she said.
"We are reviewing each of those programs on a case-by-case basis to identify whether we have authority to continue providing those funds or should seek to modify our activities to ensure that our actions are consistent with the law," she said.
Psaki also said the Obama administration could choose to cut some of the $1.23 billion in military aid this year.
The emphasis on this came as something of a surprise since the State Department said on July 25 that it had decided to sidestep a U.S. law that would have required it to cut off the military aid if it found that a military coup took place.
Under U.S. law, most aid flows must stop if Washington determines that a country's "duly elected head of government is deposed by military coup d'etat or decree" or toppled in "a coup d'etat or decree in which the military plays a decisive role."
There seems little doubt that Mursi's ouster fits the bill.
As a result, the State Department chose to circumvent the law, arguing that it was under no legal requirement to make a determination and thereby avoiding the question of whether to cut off the military aid.
Leaving aside the legal question, Psaki said that the administration was still in the mist of a wider policy review that could result in the reduction of the military or the economic assistance to Egypt.
"We can make other decisions related to our aid," she said. "The president has a range of options."
Of the roughly $1.23 billion in military aid due to be disbursed this fiscal year, Psaki said $650 million has already been transferred to an account for Egypt at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
A further roughly $585 million has not yet been transferred and could be reduced or eliminated if Obama chose to do so.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Jackson 5 singer Jermaine Jackson has petitioned to change his name, according to court documents filed earlier this week in Los Angeles.
The older brother of pop stars Michael and Janet Jackson, Jermaine wants to change his famous last name to Jacksun for "artistic reasons."
Asked why Jermaine wanted to change his name, his attorney Bret D. Lewis, who filed the petition on Jackson's behalf, told Reuters "If Prince and P Diddy can do it, why can't and shouldn't Jermaine?"
If all goes to plan, Jackson's name will officially change following a court hearing set for February 22.
Jermaine, 57, and brothers Jackie, Marlon and Tito are currently in Europe on a Unity Tour, under the name The Jacksons, performing hits made famous by the Jackson 5 along with a tribute to their late sibling Michael.
Jermaine Jackson unofficially adopted the name Mohammad Abdul Aziz after converting to Islam in 1989.

the cumb is moist but it doesn't open up at all. would that due to lack of gluten development or overproof or is becoz of the addins? this got me thinking all night.

Photograph by Maggie Ferreira FILMING ON THE SLY: Young Will Poulter helps remake 'First Blood' in 'Son of Rambow.'
Stallone redeemed: 'Son of Rambow' is an all-ages winner about youthful cinema love
By Richard von Busack
THE UNIQUE British movie Son of Rambow by director/writer Garth Jennings looks like a brilliant debut, and in a way it is. Jennings and his producing partner, Nick Goldsmith, had to put Son of Rambow on hold when they went to work on The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. That particular film was the definition of a cult movie: a demonstration of sarcastic humor, flamboyant acting and technological inventiveness untethered by more serious human concerns of love and need—concerns that mean little or nothing to a young, nihilist, stoned or insomniac audience. This is not a put-down, because I've been all four at one time or another. (But burn one or stay up late enough and Southland Tales looks like Citizen Kane.)
Son of Rambow's center is a love story with the movies; it includes a one-of-a-kind scene of losing one's cinematic virginity. In 1982 in a remote and dowdy English village, hiding in a rowboat hung from the ceiling of a storage room, Will Proudfoot (Bill Milner) sees a VHS bootleg of Sylvester Stallone in First Blood. Will is a member of the strict Plymouth Brethren, raised in that faith by his mother (Jessica Stevenson) after his father dropped dead. Their god requires the women to wear kerchiefs on their heads; he also commands his followers to nonviolence and orders them to stay away from movies and TV.
The savagery of the first Rambo movie electrifies Will. He had already been a shrimp-size William Blake, illuminating his Bible with multicolored cartoons. Now he fantasizes animated dreams of bombardments and rescues. He plans guerrilla attacks on his mortal enemy, a scary tin-can-headed scarecrow in a nearby field.
His partner in fantasy is the most troubled child in school, the diabolical Lee Carter (Will Poulter), a pug-nosed Cagneyesque child whose brother is part of the village's answer to organized crime. Selling bootlegs of the movies at the local theater is one of his scams. Will and Lee appropriate the video camera and get to work filming a Rambo sequel in the local woods.
Meanwhile, in what seems to be an unrelated story, a French exchange student arrives. Didier (Jules Sitruk) has been infected with the New Wave virus. He displays a pop-cultural cornucopia of vinyl clothes, poufy hair, Adam Ant posters and Duran Duran records. You have a hard time telling what sex he is at first, even with his sooty Princelike mustache. But the school falls over for him. The girls line up for kisses, and the adoring boys follow him through the school as if they were a vee of geese. Ultimately, Didier's charisma ropes in Will, much to the fury of a jealous Lee.
If Jennings seems to be working from a model, it shows most obviously in the Didier scenes; the processionals are like the nonjokes in Napoleon Dynamite about being too cool for school. The Nino Rota/Danny Elfman–style circus marches on the soundtrack remind us, too, that this is a movie about movies.
The animation/live-action approach can often make for a knickknacky film in which the crazy props have to do the work. Thus the single joke-shop scene in Pee-wee's Big Adventure leads to the kitschy antiques in Amélie or to the hamburger phone in Juno. In Son of Rambow, however, the inventiveness continues beyond the weird old artifacts. Jennings' clever setting up of slapstick would have kept him employed by Mack Sennett or Hal Roach. His use of color weights this comedy, too. The Brethren's church would be a natural source for cheap humor, but Jennings declines to rise to the bait, in order to give Will's loneliness some dimension.
The child's bedroom is a wooden, nigh-medieval, attic. Jennings is serious, too, in pulling back the camera to show us the silent mother, Mary, as she washes her dishes. She could be a figure in a lovely, morose Dutch painting.
The England in Son of Rambow is also like nothing I have ever seen in a film before. Some of the backgrounds resemble Egoyan's Felicia's Journey, particularly in the humongous concrete hourglasses of the cooling towers at an abandoned power plant. Whatever else you can say about the Rambo movies, they were verdant, whether the killer was prowling the Washington pines or Southeast Asian swamps. Jennings has found a look to match those fantasies in the almost subtropical forests and riverbanks in England; I had no idea these kinds of landscapes still existed in Great Britain.
The buildings are good, too. The frowning brick school is wonderfully dismal, with the useless half-heard lessons part of the background noise (we note a lecture as well as an educational film that warns us about what a potentially dangerous invention the wheel is).

On May 15, conveniently, First Blood will be revived at a one night-screening by Fathomevents.com at a series of local theaters throughout the valley. This one-night stand includes the original ending, which would have spared us Rambo and its sequels. Maybe this release is meant to increase the word of mouth for Son of Rambow. It deserves to be a huge hit, even if the accents and slang might hitch the slow Yanks. Like Hot Fuzz, Son of Rambow reminds us that what looks like worthless trash cinema here can have a liberating effect on hidebound, far-off lands.
SON OF RAMBOW (PG-13; 96 min.), directed and written by Garth Jennings, photographed by Jess Hall and starring Bill Milner, Will Poulter, Jessica Stevenson and Jules Sitruk, opens Friday at selected theaters valleywide.

In Washington, the stars may be aligning for "comprehensive immigration reform." Barack Obama and the Democrats sense an opportunity to prevail where past administrations and Congresses have failed. Republicans hope to improve their share of the Hispanic vote and follow Marco Rubio to the promised land.
But is it good policy? Congress passed and Ronald Reagan signed an explicit amnesty in 1986. To qualify, illegal immigrants needed to pay a fine, learn English, and to have lived in the United States for a certain period of time. This was balanced with employer sanctions and new enforcement measures.
Under this law, some 2.7 million immigrants were legalized. Four years later, George H.W. Bush signed legislation increasing legal immigration by 40 percent. The policy mix envisioned by the president and the Gang of Eight has been tried before.
Much of the promised enforcement never materialized. Illegal immigration surged, by one estimate increasing 44 percent between 1987 when the amnesty took effect and 1989 at the height of the legalizations. By the middle of this past decade, legal immigration was running nearly double what it was in the mid-1980s and the illegal immigrant population swelled to between 12 and 20 million.
The federal government approved nearly 90 percent of the 1.3 million agricultural workers who sought amnesty under the 1986 law despite detecting fraud in close to a third of the applications. Overtaxed immigration bureaucrats are not likely to fare better with a much larger applicant pool.
One of the selling points of the Gang of Eight framework is that it promises to frontload the enforcement, although the provisional legal status would be granted to eligible applicants immediately. But how hard would be it be to get Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to certify a secure border? Even if border security metrics are genuinely met, 40 percent of unauthorized immigrants enter legally and overstay.
The larger problem of conditional amnesty is that if the conditions have real teeth, they are administratively unworkable and contain disincentives to apply. More often, they prove to be window dressing. The coalition that will pass comprehensive legislation includes many lawmakers who oppose strong enforcement measures.
Here's a prediction, based on past experience with the 1986 amnesty and the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act: even if many of the concessions to enforcement-first congressmen survive the negotiations process and make it into the final bill, there will be a concerted attempt to erode them as soon as the bill is passed.
Others point to the progress that has been made in reducing illegal immigration. The investment in border security and interior enforcement has increased. There are more fences and border patrol agents. The government is now believed to have effective control of 57 percent of the U.S. border. While the sluggish American economy has caused many illegal immigrants to go home—the unemployment rate is now lower in Mexico than in the U.S.—improved enforcement is credited with about half the drop.
But this enforcement is of recent vintage. After the defeat of the last serious amnesty attempt, the Bush administration concluded that stepped up enforcement was a prerequisite for winning the necessary political support for its immigration-policy objectives. The Obama administration continued this pattern, claiming record deportations.
In the years prior to that, however, enforcement was practically nonexistent. According to one study, audits on employers of illegal immigrants declined 77 percent from fiscal 1990 to 2003. Warnings to audited employers dropped 62 percent. Final notices declaring intent to fine businesses hiring illegal workers decreased 82 percent. The amount of fines assessed dropped by more than half, to just $1.2 million, from the 1996 fiscal year to 1999 alone.
Why declare "Mission Accomplished" after just seven years of real enforcement, which appears to be working? We could continue to decrease unlawful entries and gradually reduce the illegal immigrant population by attrition. Then we could assess country's progress and then perhaps contemplate a legalization program.
After all, there are still 12.3 million unemployed Americans. Nearly 14 percent of blacks and just under 10 percent of Hispanics were officially unemployed in January.
But Democrats and Republicans in the nation's capital see a bonanza of votes waiting for them if they succumb to temptation to Do Something. They say they want to put the immigration issue behind us, but we have heard that before.

System Shock 2 Mod Spotlight
Category: News ArchiveHits: 2140
SHTUP--installs the high-resolution textures and fixes for in-game objects that allow the game to make the most from the large modern displays. It adds much detail to the things that surround you in the game, from potted plants, through monitor screens, up to every single graffiti.
Four Hundred--another important texture pack. It makes the game's scenery look crisp and sharp by applying high-res textures to walls, floors, doors and whatnot, while remaining quite faithful to the original mood.
Vurt's Space--for those of you who love stargazing. This mod applies nice high-res texture to the in-game windows, so you can admire the ominous beauty of the Tau Ceti system while looking through them.
SHMUP--music update! It provides the game with better quality files of the original soundtrack, so you can admire the excellent work of the composer Eric Brosius, just as he'd wanted you to hear it.
All of the above improve on the game's various aspects but don't affect the gameplay. If you don't mind to stray somewhat from the game's original feeling and concepts, there are also some mods allowing you to change such things as weapons, enemies, and AI behaviour:
ADaoB--this is a modification offering fixes to some of the original game's quirks and re-balances the gameplay. Please note that you will have to start a new game after installing, as the changes are severe enough to make the game incompatible with earlier savegames.
Rebirth--enemy models modification. It replaces the original AI models with their more detailed counterparts, that make use of modern systems' power.

Roberts Rules of Order Revised
3. Art. III. Privileged Motions
. > 20. Orders of the Day.
Henry M. Robert
Roberts Rules of Order Revised.
20. Orders of the Day.
A Call for the Orders of the Day
(which, in an ordinary assembly, is a demand that the assembly conform to its program or order of business) can be made at any time when no other privileged [
] motion is pending and the order of business is being varied from, and only then. It requires no second, and is in order when another has the floor, even though it interrupts a speech, as a single member has a right to demand that the order of business be conformed to. It is out of order to call for the orders of the day when there is no variation from the order of business. Thus, the orders of the day cannot be called for when another question is pending, provided there are no special orders made for that time or an earlier time, as general orders cannot interrupt a question actually under consideration. The call must be simply for the orders of the day, and not for a specified one, as the latter has no privilege. When the time has arrived for which a special order has been made, a call for the orders of the day takes precedence of everything except the other privileged motions, namely, those relating to adjournment and recess, and questions of privilege, to which it yields. If there are no special orders a call for the orders of the day cannot interrupt a pending question; but, if made when no question is pending, it is in order even when another has the floor and has made a main motion, provided the chair has not stated the question. Until the time of actually taking up the general orders for consideration this call yields to a motion to reconsider, or to a calling up of a motion to reconsider, previously made. A call for the orders of the day cannot be debated or amended, or have any other subsidiary motion applied to it.
It is the duty of the chair to announce the business to come before the assembly in its proper order, and if he always performs this duty there will be no occasion for calling for the orders of the day. But there are occasions when the chair fails to notice that the time assigned for a special order has arrived, or he thinks that the assembly is so interested in the pending question that it does not wish yet to take up the special order assigned for that time, and therefore delays announcing it. In such a case, as already stated, any member has a right to call for the orders of the day, and thus compel the chair either to announce the order or else put the question, Will the assembly proceed to the orders of the day? To refuse to take up the orders at the appointed time is an interference with the order of business similar to suspending the rules and should require the same vote namely, two-thirds. In other words, a two-thirds vote in the negative is necessary to prevent proceeding to the orders of the day. If the assembly refuses to proceed to the orders of the day the orders cannot be called for again until the pending business is disposed of.
When the orders of the day are announced, or when they are called for, if it is desired to prolong the discussion of the pending question, some one should move that the time for considering the pending question be extended a certain number of minutes. A two-thirds vote is required for the adoption of this motion as it changes the order of business or program. After the order has been announced and the question is actually pending, it is debatable and may be amended or have any other subsidiary motion applied to it the same as any other main motion. The orders of the day in a mass cannot be laid on the table or postponed, but when an order has been actually taken up it may, by a majority vote, be laid on the table, or postponed, or committed, so that, if there is no other order to interfere, the consideration of the question previously pending will be resumed. Whenever the orders of the day are disposed of, the consideration of the interrupted business is taken up at the point where it was interrupted by the call for the orders of the day. By suspending the rules by a two-thirds vote any question may be taken up out of its proper order.
Orders of the Day.
When one or more subjects have been assigned to a particular day or hour (by postponing them to, or making them special orders for, that day or hour, or by adopting a program or order of business), they become the orders of the day for that day or hour, and they cannot be considered before that time, except by a two-thirds vote. They are divided into General Orders and Special Orders, the latter always taking precedence of the former.
A General Order
is usually made by simply postponing a question to a certain day or hour, or after a certain event. It does not suspend any rule, and therefore cannot interrupt business. But after the appointed hour has arrived it has the preference, when no question is pending, over all other questions except special orders and reconsideration. It cannot be considered before the appointed time except by a reconsideration or by a two-thirds vote. When the order of business provides for orders of the day, questions simply postponed to a meeting, without specifying the hour, come up under that head. If no provision is made for orders of the day, then such postponed questions come up after the disposal of the business pending at the previous adjournment, and after the questions on the calendar that were not disposed of at the previous meeting.
An order of business that specifies the order in which, but not the time when, the business shall be transacted, together with the postponed questions constitutes the general orders. This order cannot be varied from except by general consent or by suspending the rules by a two-thirds vote. If all of this business is not disposed of before adjournment, it becomes unfinished business, and is treated as unfinished business, as explained in 17 under The Effect Upon Unfinished Business of an Adjournment.
As general orders cannot interrupt the consideration of a pending question, it follows that any general order made for an earlier hour, though made afterwards, by not being disposed of in time may interfere with the general order previously made. Therefore, general orders must take precedence among themselves in the order of the times to which they were postponed, regardless of when the general order was made. If several are appointed for the same time, then they take precedence in the order in which they were made. If several appointed for the same time were made at the same time, then they take precedence in the order in which they were arranged in the motion making the general order.
Make a Special Order
requires a two-thirds vote, because it suspends all rules that interfere with its consideration at the specified time, except those relating to motions for adjournment or recess, or to questions of privilege, or to special orders made before it was made. A pending question is made a special order for a future time by Postponing it and making it a special order for that time. [See Postpone to a Certain Time, 31, which should be read in connection with this section.] If the question is not pending, the motion to make it a special order for a certain time is a main motion, debatable, amendable, etc. The member desirous of making it a special order should obtain the floor when nothing is pending, and business of that class, or new business, is in order, and say, I move that the following resolution be made the special order for [specifying the time], and then reads the resolution and hands it to the chair. Or he may adopt this form: I offer the following resolution, and move that it be made a special order for the next meeting. Or, in case a committee has been appointed to submit a revision of the constitution, the following resolution may be adopted: Resolved, That the revision of the constitution, be made the special order for Thursday morning and thereafter until it is disposed of. Another way of making special orders is by adopting a program, or order of business, in which is specified the hour for taking up each topic.
It is customary to adopt a program, or order of business, in conventions in session for several days. Since the delegates and invited speakers come from a distance, it is very important that the program be strictly adhered to. No change can be made in it after its adoption by the assembly, except by a two-thirds vote. When the hour assigned to a certain topic arrives, the chair puts to vote any questions pending and announces the topic for the hour. This is done because, under such circumstances, the form of the program implies that the hour, or other time, assigned to each topic is all that can be allowed. But, if any one moves to lay the question on the table, or postpone it to a certain time, or refer it to a committee, the chair should recognize the motion and immediately put it to vote without debate. Should any one move to extend the time allotted the pending question, it should be decided instantly without debate, a two-thirds vote being necessary for the extension. It is seldom that an extension is desirable, as it is unfair to the next topic. When an invited speaker exceeds his time it is extremely discourteous to call for the orders of the day. The chair should have an understanding with invited speakers as to how he will indicate the expiration of their time. This can be done by tapping on a book or a bell. It is usually better to have it understood that the signal will be given one minute before the time expires, or longer if the speaker wishes it, so that he can properly close his address. At the expiration of the time the presiding officer should rise and attract the attention of the speaker and, if he still continues speaking, the chair should say that the time has expired, etc.
special orders made by a single vote
is treated the same as a program that is, at the hour assigned to a particular subject it interrupts the question assigned to the previous hour. If it is desired to continue the discussion of the pending topic at another time, it can be laid on the table or postponed until after the close of the interrupting question, by a majority vote.
Special Orders made at different times for specified hours.
When special orders that have been made at different times come into conflict, the one that was first made takes precedence of all special orders made afterwards, though the latter were made for an earlier hour. No special order can be made so as to interfere with one previously made. By reconsidering the vote making the first special order, they can be arranged in the order desired. Suppose, after a special order has been made for 3 P. M., one is made for 2 P. M. and still later one is made for 4 P. M.; if the 2 P. M. order is pending at 3 P. M., the order for 3 P. M., having been made first, interrupts it and continues, if not previously disposed of, beyond 4 P. M., regardless of the special order for that hour. When it, the 3 P. M. order, is disposed of, the special order for 2 P. M. is resumed even if it is after 4 Oclock, because the 2 P. M. order was made before the 4 P. M. order. The only exception to this rule is in the case of the hour fixed for recess or adjournment. When that hour arrives the chair announces it and declares the assembly adjourned, or in recess, even though there is a special order pending that was made before the hour for recess or adjournment was fixed. When the chair announces the hour, any one can move to postpone the time for adjournment, or to extend the time for considering the pending question a certain number of minutes. These motions are undebatable, and require a two-thirds vote.
Special Orders when only the day or meeting is specified.
Often subjects are made special orders for a meeting without specifying an hour. If the order of business provides for orders of the day, they come up under that head, taking precedence of general orders. If there is no provision for orders of the day, they come up under unfinished business that is, before new business. If there is no order of business, then they may be called up at any time after the minutes are disposed of.
The Special Order for a Meeting.
Sometimes a subject is made
special order for a meeting, as for Tuesday morning in a convention, in which case it is announced by the chair as the pending business immediately after the disposal of the minutes. This particular form is used when it is desired to devote an entire meeting, or so much of it as is necessary, to considering a special subject, as the revision of the by-laws. This form of a special order should take precedence of the other forms of special orders. It is debatable and amendable.
Note 11.
While Congress retains the call for the orders of the day in its list of privileged motions, it has abandoned the use of orders of the day, having, instead, a detailed order of business with several calendars. It retains special orders which may be made by a two-thirds vote. [

Free State Project members seeking Bedford votes
By SUSAN CLARK
Union Leader Correspondent
Aaron Day, a member of the Free State Project, is running for office in Bedford.
— Many people choose to live in New Hampshire because of its quality of life, its Live Free or Die attitude, its low taxes and its limited state and local bureaucracy.
And some who come for all of those reasons want a greater hand in how government is run, as the town of Bedford is learning firsthand.
In 2003, members of the
Free State Project
, a movement founded outside of New Hampshire, decided to make the state their new home. The group's goal is to have 20,000 Libertarian-minded Free Staters live in New Hampshire. So far, 15,438 have signed a pledge to move here; 1,575 now make New Hampshire their home, according to the Free State Project website.
In Bedford, two Free Staters — Aaron Day and Matt Philips — are running for seats on the school board and the town council, respectively, in the March 11 election. Day moved to town in late 2009, he said, and bought a house at 13 Riddle Drive in October 2012. Philips, who lives with Day, moved here five months ago.
Day is a trustee of the Free State Project and chairman of the N.H. Republican Liberty Caucus. He said he moved to Bedford with his wife, Irina, because New Hampshire offers a better way of life.
"I want to live in a state that strongly believes in protecting personal liberties, and New Hampshire's 'Live Free or Die' mentality does that," Day said. "I grew up in a town in Indiana that's the same size as Bedford, and it has a similar feel. Before moving to New Hampshire in 2009, we were living in Boston, with high taxes and high crime. That's not what we wanted for our children. The Massachusetts legislators make all this money, but in New Hampshire, they get a stipend of $100; there is much less corruption in government here. Bedford is politically conservative and has a small-town feel, with less intrusive government."
Philips, who is single, said he took the pledge to move to New Hampshire in 2003, but had been busy at an Internet startup company in New York City.
"I chose New Hampshire partly because of the Free State Project, but also because of all the reasons everyone else chose it; remember, only 42 percent of New Hampshirites were born in the state," Philips said. "The people here are warm, welcoming, pragmatic and reasonable. There is great natural beauty, low crime, low poverty, low personal taxes."
Impact on Bedford
Some longtime residents see the Free State movement as a threat and an attempt to make drastic changes to local and state government.
"Most of us have come to New Hampshire because of a way of life and not because we're part of a group formed outside of the state," said Bill Greiner, a former town councilor and member of several community organizations. "Aaron Day and Matt Philips have only recently come to Bedford for the sole purpose of colonizing New Hampshire as part of the Free State Project and infiltrating municipal and state elective office to make radical and anarchistic changes that would be extremely detrimental to the quality of life in Bedford."
Part of the Free Staters' mission is to "neither provide for people nor punish them for activities that interfere with no one else." Greiner said this could mean a reduction or elimination of public services and infrastructure improvements.
"The impact on Bedford would be significant because they do not believe in the Constitution, authority such as police, public education and nearly everything else that government provides. The way of life and quality of life is at risk, and this could then impact property values, bond ratings, etc.," Greiner said.
Day pointed out he has lived in Bedford 4½ years and objected to several of Greiner's comments.
"Greiner has been factually inaccurate in his statements about me and the Free State project. I am not against the Constitution. New Hampshire is the 'Live Free or Die' state, and the truth is in his time on the town council, property taxes here have nearly doubled."
School spending
At the Bedford School District's deliberative session on Feb. 4, Day wanted to change the terms of the district's pension fund, but was told all towns are required by the state to participate in the retirement system. He also tried to reduce the budget by $880,000, but his motion was based on the default budget, not the proposed budget. The default budget is set by state statute and cannot be amended. The motion was changed to reflect the proposed budget, but failed by hand vote.
Another longtime resident, Paul Brock, who served on the school board from 1996 to 2005 and who serves as chairman of the nonprofit Bedford Education Foundation, said Day's statements at the meeting show he isn't familiar with Bedford or the state's educational system.
"He doesn't seem to know what's going on in New Hampshire and seems to know less about what has happened in Bedford," Brock said. "He hasn't done his homework. He wanted to change defined benefit to defined contribution, but that's a Concord statewide issue, and he spent considerable time at the deliberative session on an issue that's not in the school board's control."
Brock, who served as chairman of the school board when voters approved building the high school, said he believes the schools and the town are running efficiently and effectively.
"They would like to get us out of the public school business, and I've spent too many years, tears and effort on the school board to see that happen. Anyone who wants to dismantle our school system, I'm opposed to," Brock said. "They should live in New Hampshire and earn their stripes before they run for office in New Hampshire."
Homework for voters
The Free State Project's philosophy is "less government is better government, and government should only exist to protect individual rights." Philips said anyone seeking more information should Google "Libertarian reading list" or read "The Law," by Claude Frederic Bastiat.
"I'll try to summarize: I own myself, nobody else has a claim to me or my property. At the town level, there are some essential functions provided by the government, and due to its smaller size, it tends to be less wasteful than, say, the federal government," Philips said.
Both candidates said they do not think the current town council or the school board have too much power.
"The town council and school board are accountable to the electorate, and if they overstep their bounds as defined by the charter, then it is the responsibility of the voters to make their will known," Philips said. "Of course, that depends on there being a choice of candidates, which is why I'm running."
Day said the current school board is more oriented to people with students in the schools.
"I want to be able to send my children to public school, but I have concerns about Common Core. I do have kids, and I'm concerned about the curriculum and the schools themselves, and I'm going to do a complete analysis for my own children. I think that's a unique perspective," Day said. "On the school board, there's only people who have kids in the schools, and that's poor structure. I'm a taxpayer, but I also want to represent older people."
Philips said Bedford can improve by taking the lead in investing in economic growth and protecting those investments, and needs leaders who understand and have experience in implementing technology.
"If the voters judge me by my character and statements and elect me, then I will work with my fellow councilors within the framework established by the town charter and the New Hampshire and United States Constitutions," Philips said.
Greiner said he is hoping Bedford voters will look at the candidates and do research into the Free State Project before Election Day on March 11.
"The residents of Bedford, regardless of political ideology, need to see these folks for what they are; part of an attempt to infiltrate New Hampshire and our community in order to radically transform what Bedford stands for. Make no mistake; this is a well-calculated attempt on their part to come in literally overnight and influence our lives," Greiner said.

Ryan Zimmerman delivered a two-run double after Bryce Harper was intentionally walked in the fourth inning, and the Washington Nationals beat the Chicago White Sox 7-4 on a windy Thursday night to cap a three-game sweep.
Dan Haren (1-1) got the win despite allowing 10 hits in five innings.
With the score tied at 3 in the fourth, Haren helped himself by doubling off Dylan Axelrod (0-1) and eventually scoring on a wild pitch with two outs. Chicago then put Harper on base on purpose, but the move didn't work: Cleanup hitter Zimmerman lined a double to right on Axelrod's 103rd — and final — pitch of the evening.
That put Washington ahead 6-3, and relievers Ryan Mattheus, Tyler Clippard and Rafael Soriano made it hold up.
After Harper drove in an insurance run in the eighth, Soriano pitched the ninth for his fifth save in six chances, and third this series.
Washington, 6-0 at home and 7-2 overall, opens a three-game set Friday against visiting NL East rival Atlanta. The Braves are on a six-game winning streak and own a major league-best 8-1 record. It's their best start since opening 13-1 in 1994.
On Thursday, swirling air carried napkins and other debris from the stands onto the grass, pushed batted balls away from the fences, and turned some otherwise routine plays into adventures for fielders. Following a couple of days in the 80s, the temperature dipped into the 50s.
And after hitting 11 homers in their previous four games, the Nationals turned to some small ball.
In the first inning, Jayson Werth singled to cap a 10-pitch at-bat, stole second and moved to third when catcher Tyler Flowers' errant throw went into the outfield. Adam LaRoche made it 1-0 with a single on Axelrod's 33rd pitch. He would need 40 just to get the first three outs.
In the third, Denard Span singled, stole second, took third on Werth's flyout and came home on Harper's single up the middle. After consecutive walks, Ian Desmond's sacrifice fly made it 3-1.
Chicago pulled even in the fourth. With a man on, Axelrod popped up a bunt that first baseman LaRoche couldn't quite reach, and the ball bounced by for an infield single. Alejandro De Aza and Jeff Keppinger hit RBI singles — ending Chicago's 0-for-10 stretch with runners in scoring position over two games.
It didn't stay tied long. Haren got things started by smacking the ball to right-center and ambling into second with a stand-up double. Werth singled, before Axelrod bounced a pitch near Harper's feet. He lifted his back shoe, the left one, just as the ball skipped past. Chicago manager Robin Ventura came out to talk to the plate umpire — perhaps hoping the ball hit Harper's shoe after touching the dirt — but the call stood.
Then came the game's fulcrum. The right-handed Axelrod gave the lefty-swinging Harper a free pass, instead dealing with the right-handed Zimmerman, who walked in his first two plate appearances. With the count full, Zimmerman doubled, giving him at least one RBI in each game of the series.
Haren threw 101 pitches and allowed three runs. Shaky, but far more effective than his Nationals debut after signing a $13 million, one-year contract as a free agent. In that game, he allowed four homers in four innings during a 15-0 loss at Cincinnati, the Nationals' biggest defeat since they brought baseball back to Washington in 2005.
NOTES: Chicago 2B Gordon Beckham needs surgery for a broken bone in his left wrist and is expected to miss six weeks. ... White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper is still hospitalized with an intestinal illness and will skip the rest of the club's 10-game road trip. ... Nationals LHP Ross Detwiler starts Friday against Braves RHP Julio Teheran. ... White Sox LHP Jose Quintana starts against Indians RHP Justin Masterson on Friday. ... Washington Wizards point guard John Wall, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 NBA draft, threw out the ceremonial first pitch, acquitting himself much better than the other time he had the honor. Last time, he spiked his attempt straight into the ground, prompting his "catcher" that day, Nationals reliever Drew Storen, to joke Wednesday: "Give me a sky hook." With LHP Gio Gonzalez receiving this time, Wall put the ball in the glove with a soft lob.

Hannah Cranna
Posted 16 February 2005 - 06:21 PM
Hannah Cranna,the Wicked Witch of Monroe
ACCORDING TO LOCAL tradition, Hannah Cranna did not earn much of a reputation as a witch while her husband, Captain Joseph Hovey, was alive. Even as plain Mrs. Hovey, though, she may not have been on very good terms with her neighbors, because very soon after her husband's death, the rumors began circulating that she had some sort of hand in it. What happened was this: one fine evening, while in the prime of life, Capt. Hovey had gone out for a walk, from which he never returned. For some unexplainable reason, he had apparently become disoriented or lost his way in an area which he had known all his life, and ended up toppling over a cliff. As searchers brought in his body the next day, several of them mumbled that Hannah Cranna (just when Mrs. Hovey assumed this strangely witch-like name is uncertain) must have placed Hovey under some sort of spell. Otherwise, they said, he never would have taken the plunge.
Hannah did little to discourage this sort of talk and, if we can believe the many stories that still circulate among the people of Monroe and vicinity, perhaps even stimulated the belief in her supernatural powers. For example, having already built a heavy reputation for cursing neighbors who failed to keep her well-supplied with free food and firewood (and doing very well by the gimmick, thank you), she chanced one day to stroll past a farmhouse where some freshly-baked pies sat cooling on the kitchen window-ledges. Hannah marched up to the door and asked the farmer's wife for one of the pies. Having recognized her visitor and recalled her reputation for casting effective spells if crossed, the housewife chose a small pie and offered it to her. "No way," said Hannah. "I want that one," she shrilled, pointing to the largest pie on the shelf. At that, the brave baker put her foot down. "That's my husband's favorite kind," she stated, firmly, "and you shall not have it." Hannah Cranna turned on her heels and stomped out the door, fire in her eye and a curse on her lips. Let us hope the farmer enjoyed his pie, because his good wife, somehow, was never able to bake another one.
Then there was the case of Hannah's forbidden trout brook. Unlike all the other fishing waters in the area, the stream which ran through the widow Hovey's property on Cutler's Farm Road (or maybe it was Turkey Roost Road) in Monroe had been declared off-limits for fishing by the owner. Since the creek was known to contain bank-to-bank "brookies," however, one brave sportsman finally decided to risk Hannah's wrath for just one shot at landing some of these beauties. Unfortunately, she caught him in the act and laid upon him a curse which not even the fisherman's prayer could disarm. Later, they say, he had to find another hobby, for that angler never caught another fish.
Possessed of a touch like that, the temptation was to flaunt it. And that Hannah Cranna did, to the point where people began to seek her out for favors. But Hannah was a hard case. She absolutely refused to cast spells on request unless the supplicant professed complete faith in her and her powers. But, if someone were willing to express such homage, she could work unbelievable magic. Once, for example, a farmer came to the wicked witch to seek her assistance in saving his withered and dying crops. Desperate for an end to the killing drought, the farmer willingly laid his soul at her feet in exchange for Hannah's intercession with the rain gods. "You got it," she promised, "before daybreak." Promptly at midnight, the first rain in weeks began falling.
In her later years, Hannah Cranna was attended by a pet rooster named "Old Boreas." Neighbors claimed that Boreas always crowed precisely at midnight with such uncanny accuracy that they set their clocks by his call. They said, however, that the wonder rooster's death hastened the end for his owner. After Boreas crowed his last, Hannah held an impressive candlelight burial service and then went into deep mourning for her late companion. A few days after burying her feathered friend, Hannah informed a neighbor who had come by to comfort her that she, too, was about to die. She then began to give the startled man explicit instructions about her own burial. "The coffin must be carried by hand to the graveyard," she insisted, "and I must not be buried before sundown." She died the next day.
Although her neighbors were inclined to carry out her wishes, a heavy snow storm began the day she died, and by the time it ended, the snow was too deep to permit hand-carrying Hannah's body to the cemetery. Instead, the mourners strapped her onto a sturdy, horse-drawn sled. But as the sled pulled away from her house and started up the hill to the graveyard, the straps must have somehow come loose, for, lo and behold, the casket fell off the rear of the sled and slid all the way down the hill to her doorstep! Fearing a similar accident, the attendants next secured the plain, board coffin to the sled with heavy chains. To make doubly sure there would be no more slip ups (or downs), several men -- braced against the elements with considerable "anti-freeze" -- sat on top of the coffin. This time, the sled had scarcely started to move before Hannah's casket began to shudder and shake so violently that the men were thrown to the ground. If the horses had not halted, the chains probably would have snapped from the strain.
The mourners decided at this point to carry out her original instructions, though the way was almost impassable on foot. And, luckily, by the time the bearers made it to the cemetery, the sun had gone down. Congratulating themselves on finally getting the old witch under ground, the funeral procession moved slowly back through the snow after the burial services, too slowly, as it turned out, to save Hannah Cranna's home. As they reached the top of the hill overlooking the departed sorceress' house, the empty bungalow burst into flames. It burned out of control until nothing was left but a smoking cellar-hole, fit monument, no doubt, to the wonder-working woman whose simple stone in the Stepney Town Cemetery reads: HANNAH CRANNA, 1783-1859-60 WIFE OF CAPTAIN JOSEPH HOVEY

As far as for the death date, I believe they did not creat accurate records during the winter months. Since she had no surviving relatives in the town, no one payed close attention to the actual deathdate. They only knew she died during the winter of 1859-1860. Due to the extreme weather the grave marker would not be made and placed until the Spring so they could place it in softer ground and they would have to spend less time in the harsher elements planting a gravestone. I believe this was a common practice back then.

Not necessarily in that order. That's about it. That's all we know.

Once again, Power Line Live will be open for business at 7:00 central time tonight. (Actually, you can wander in any time; no doubt some people will be hanging out there before 7.) I will be there. It's fun to share your impressions of the convention with like-minded conservatives and to see what others have to say, so stop on by: just go here.
PS: The Firefox problem we were experiencing yesterday has been fixed.

While executing a mission in the War on Shit All Over Our House (Operation Feng This Motherfrakkin' Shui) last night, I came across a little bag of stuff in my closet. Inside it, with a bunch of business cards, some old incense (Nag Champa is a constant in my life, it turns out) and a bunch of change, I found my sides and call sheet from the first day I worked on Star Trek: Nemesis a few years ago. (One page of my sides is scanned and pictured at right. Click to embiggen, but it's 1.3 MB, so don't complain if your modem screams at you and doesn't want to have a second date.)
There were a lot of things in my closet that were clearly important to me at one time, but it was as easy to throw them away as it was to open the closet door and dig them out: old T-shirts, shoes, hats, and a few little bags of stuff like the one which contained my sides. It was a sort of time capsule of the 2001-2005 versions of me, and I loved identifying the threads that have tied me together all these years: Converse shoes, collared bowling and lounge shirts, nerdy T-shirts, and baseball caps from the Cubs and Dodgers (why I end up with new caps at least twice a year is a great Mystery of the Universe.)
Every time I go through my stuff and find things that used to be important to me, only to jettison them into the great beyond, I feel a certain amount of freedom and serenity that I won't trade for anything. It's good to feel like my stuff doesn't own me, because it's pretty easy to get rid of my stuff. The other side of that coin, of course, is when I find things that I'm happy I kept, like these sides. I sat on my bedroom floor tonight and remembered holding those sides in my hand, even though I'd known the lines for days, when I was walking from the makeup trailer to the stage when I worked on Nemesis, and I'm glad that I have a physical touchstone from that day. The obnoxious red polyester shirt with the houndstooth pattern and slightly-too-big collar was a nice bonus, too.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Discount retailer Lidl faces a 200,000-euro ($260,000) Christmas dinner bill after an offer of chicken vol-au-vents and ice cream cake for the poor went viral.
The supermarket launched a Twitter campaign in Belgium on Monday, saying it would hand out five four-course Christmas dinners to food banks for each tweet on a hash tag.
Lidl had expected to hand out about 1,000 of the 20-euro dinner packs, consisting of tomato soup, vol-au-vents with chips, an ice-cream cake and chocolates, a spokesman for the German-based company's Belgium unit said on Wednesday.
But local newspapers wrote about the offer and people retweeted using the hash tag - #luxevooriedereen, Dutch for "luxury for everyone".
By the end of the 24-hour campaign, 1,500 people had tweeted, meaning Lidl has to deliver 7,500 dinners. That sparked reports the supermarket had been caught out by its campaign.
To quash such talk, Lidl rounded up the number of dinners to 10,000, and branded the campaign a success.
Lidl said it had not yet decided whether to repeat the exercise next year.
"We've learnt quite a few lessons over the past 48 hours, to say the least," the spokesman said.
($1 = 0.7693 euros)

Ex-NFL, WVU QB Pat White on comeback trail
Ex-NFL, WVU QB Pat White on comeback trail
Feb. 27, 2013
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Former Miami Dolphins and West Virginia quarterback Pat White wants to return to the NFL.
White's father, Bo, said Wednesday his son is going to work out as part of West Virginia's pro day in Morgantown on March 14.
Bo White says Pat has been in San Diego the past few weeks working with personal quarterbacks coach George Whitfield, whose clients have included NFL quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger, Cam Newton and Andrew Luck.
Whitfield, who didn't immediately return a telephone message, said on Twitter that he and the 27-year-old White "have been focused on his upcoming 'relaunch."
The Dolphins selected White in the second round of the NFL draft in 2009. He played in 13 games in the Dolphins' "wildcat" package but failed to complete a pass and was released before the start of the 2010 season.
The mobile White went 34-8 as a starter at West Virginia, becoming the first quarterback to start four bowl victories in college football history. He held the NCAA record for rushing yards by a quarterback until it was broken by Michigan's Denard Robinson in 2012 with 4,495.
Although White threw for 6,049 yards and 56 touchdowns in college, his quickness — he scored 47 rushing TDs at West Virginia — could be an asset as NFL teams mull whether to join San Francisco, Seattle and Carolina in incorporating the read-option running game into their offenses.
In January, White watched the Senior Bowl near his hometown of Daphne, Ala., telling reporters, "I know that I can still do it. I just want to come out here, shake hands, show my face and let coaches know that I'm interested."

It's not just Carnival time - it's Canine Carnival time at Loyola
Loyola press release - February 13, 2012
"Paws on Parade," the newest public art project featuring sculptures of different theme-oriented dogs, unveiled its latest installment, "Canine Carnival," at Loyola University New Orleans' Broadway Campus. The sculpture is located on the corner of Broadway and St. Charles Avenue.
The sculpture, installed Thursday, Feb. 9, benefits the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and is intended to raise awareness of animal welfare in our region, support local artists and art communities and beautify our area.
"Canine Carnival," the fourth in its litter, was designed and produced by glass artist Paulette M. Lizano of Lizano's Glass Haus. The original form was donated by Haydel's Bakery, and other versions of the sculpture can be seen across Orleans and Jefferson parishes.
The Mardi Gras-themed dalmatian is seen enjoying the revelry of the carnival season, decked out with his doggie mask and red bead-encrusted collar.
Sponsored by the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau, the sculpture will be on display through September and then will go up for auction in November at the LASPCA Howling Success Gala.
For more information, call the Office of Public Affairs at 504-861-5448 or email@example.com. For more about Paws on Parade, visit www.la-spca.org. Sponsorships are still available and other sculptures can be seen on the website.
