Food safety law: Six ways it will make food safer
With the stroke of a pen, President Obama on Tuesday inaugurated the biggest reform in food safety in years.

Still, the law has unusually broad support in Congress, the food industry, and consumer groups. Here are its Top 6 reforms, which will make your food safer:

I'm coming up on a year into switching and can now say I'm switched. One of the last things I had to work out was giving PowerPoints on my iPad. I resisted because there were so many negative posts, but it turned out to be drop dead easy once I got around to trying. A friend had a great experience so I thought I'd invest in the necessary software and hardware. Turned out to be cheap and easy. The last reason for lugging my old Windows laptop is gone.
I bought Keynote for my iPad for $10. It automatically also installed on my iPhone. I bought the Keynote remote for my iPhone for $1. I bought the VGA adapter dongle for my iPad (or iPhone) for the going rate. I uploaded a few PowerPoints to my iPhone using iTunes (they automatically uploaded to my iPhone too, presumably through my iCloud account). There are other ways to get presentations onto the iPad. I opened the PowerPoints on the iPad in Keynote and made a few edits to some slides. Had to adjust a few slides a bit, but surprisingly few. Even for a very complicated teaching PowerPoint full of animations, boxes and arrows. I've given presentations in two different offices now. Simply plugged their projector's VGA cable into the iPad's VGA dongle. That's it. Nothing more to it. Instant on. I did one very formal presentation using my iPhone as a remote controlling the iPad (personal hotspot/Bluetooth). Worked very well. I could see my speaker notes on the iPhone and face the audience the whole time. Very unobtrusive. Other times I use the iPad directly, passing it to other speakers across the table. The touchscreen "laser" feature is great. I could face the audience the whole time. Last time I did a PowerPoint there was time at the end of the meeting. I was asked to demonstrate an online web service I use that the group thought might be of interest to them. I simply exited Keynote and launched Safari on my iPad. Went online with my cellular account since they did not have a wireless access. Demonstrated the website live on the big screen. (They bought the service same day). I used the iPad continuously for nearly three hours and went from 100% battery charge to the mid-70s. I can't believe how easy all this was. Thought I would post this positive experience to counter some of the negative stuff I'd been reading online. This was my last reason for lugging the old Windows laptop around. I guess I am now switched. Longtime Windows, then onto slippery slope with iPod/iTunes in 2006, then Apple TV, iPad, iMac and finally iPhone in 2011. |

Bravo! I too have been slowly transitioning my presentations from a laptop to an iPad. Now that I have the latest iPad, I suspect this transition will start speeding up.

If you don't mind chas, could you give us a quick run down on hooking up your new iPad to a projector and let us know how well it works. We are considering getting one (iPad) and using it that way. Thanks. |

There's two main ways to do this:
1. Buy a 30-pin to VGA, DVI or HDMI adapter from Apple, connect it to a cable that is connected to the projector. Alternatively: 2. Connect an AppleTV unit to the projector and use AirPlay to mirror the iPad. The first-gen iPad can't do this at all unless you have jailbroken it and are running a program from Cydia called Display Out using method 1 above. The second and third-gen iPads do not require any modifications, just plug in and you're good to go. It should go without saying (but I think I'll mention it anyway) that best results suggest that you leave the iPad in landscape orientation when working with a projector. |

SONY P Series SGPT212GB/S.CEK 3G Tablet PC: £189
Saturday, August 25, 2012 at 2:40AM
PC World has now dropped the price of the attractively named(?) SONY P Series SGPT212GB/S.CEK 3G Tablet PC to just £189. By all accounts, this is a bit of a design disaster, but I could see it working really well for some. Thanks to Neil.
Be amazed by dual LED backlit HD displays that provide an impressive image quality whatever you're viewing. The Sony P Series' TruBlackTM display benefits from a controlled refraction of light between the LCD and the screen. This delivers an enhanced vibrancy of colour and astounding image clarity that sets it apart from other Tablet PCs.

The Vampire Lord Morpiér was dead, or returned to light, as some vampires called the cessation of their eternal walk. It was not an uncommon occurrence for vampires to die, not with the numerous hunters that culled the less restrained of the breed when they were still young, and relatively powerless. What was uncommon, was a vampire to be killed that had walked the earth for more than four-thousand years, as Morpiér had. Yet as uncommon as it was, his remains lay upon the stone floor of his mansion; a heap of dark ash festooned with the ancient jewels that had been the mark of his station.
He had been discovered by one of his servants, who had set out to remind his liege that a werewolf envoy from the Lupus Naturae was soon to arrive upon the island. When no answer had come from Morpiér's chambers, the servant had entered, and found the remains of the vampire lord swirling in the sea breeze coming through the open balcony. The servant had raised the alarm, but there was nothing for the elite cadre of guards to do. There was no murderer to be found, and even more puzzling, no evidence that there had been a struggle at all. The entirety of the small island had been searched with unnatural precision, and yet nothing out of place was ever discovered.
Lacking any evidence to explain Morpiér's returning to light, it was the unfortunate werewolf envoy that had suspicion thrust upon his shoulders, as he arrived just an hour after the body was discovered. The small boat of werewolves was detained by the guards, and immediately accused of the assassination. From that moment, the first domino fell from the precarious stack of diplomatic relations that had been maintained between werewolf and vampire for over four centuries. Word spread like fire through the Veiled World, and tensions rose across the globe as whispers of another vampire war carried with the news of Morpiér's murder.
Only the swift and decisive actions of both the Court of Cain (the vampiric council of lords), and the Lupus Naturae (the lycanthropic governing body), halted the march towards another blood feud between the two sides. It was an uneasy peace however, and the need for definitive answers regarding Morpiér was becoming paramount.
A much more secretive issue had also arisen along with Morpiér's demise: he had been one of the protectors of the Pieces of 8. These eight magical objects were among the most important artifacts in vampire history, with each piece containing the codex of lineages for the eight original vampire lords. These lineages dated back to the human ancestors of each lord, and with this information, descendants of the vampire lords' human bloodlines could be traced. While the task would be a monumental endeavor, if the Pieces of 8 were ever brought together, and these human descendants found, an individual could theoretically find these human descendants and use their blood to destroy the vampire lords, and thusly, all of their offspring.
These dangers forced each piece to be held separately by a lord of the Court of Cain. As a failsafe, should the lord perish, a second vampire--one not seated within the Court--was given knowledge of the whereabouts of that lord's piece. These seconds were sworn to a powerful spell of secrecy, disabling them from speaking of their solemn duty to anyone save the lord that entrusted them with the honor. The system had never faltered in all the centuries since the creation of the Pieces of 8, and never had a second been called upon to take possession of a piece. Until now…
Edvard Moraine stood upon the bow of the yacht, his eyes leveled at the approaching lights of Vrachonisida Sofrana. The small island was located deep in the Aegean Sea, evenly spaced between the Greek mainland, and Turkey. It was a picturesque island, with craggy cliffs of igneous rock holding up manicured groves of olive trees, dense grass, and the spires of the ancient stone monastery that Morpiér had claimed centuries ago. It was an island that could've been found upon the pages of a travel agent's brochure, that is, if the island could be found by any normal human in the first instance.
Edvard admired the monastery as the yacht drew up to the island's docks, its stonework towers reaching majestically into the night sky. The structure had always reminded him of Morpiér; imposing, yet warm, wise, and tastefully refined. The news of his progenitor's death had come as a shock to Edvard, and one he never fathomed hearing. When Morpiér had called upon him to be his second a thousand years ago, he had agreed instantly, thinking that such a task would be wholly unnecessary, as Edvard always maintained that his maker would live until the world itself was snuffed out.
Now, here he found himself, ascending the steep flagstone steps from the cliffs to the monastery, and for the first time in his life, Morpiér would not be there to greet him. If he had the ability to cry, he would have welcomed the tears. As he turned into the great room of the mansion however, Edvard made sure to keep his face stoic, not wanting any of Morpiér's stone-faced guards to see him become emotional.
He made his way through the great room, ignoring the priceless art, and lost antiquities that filled the grand space. Representatives of the Court of Cain were everywhere, attempting to glean any shred of evidence as to how such a powerful vampire lord met his final demise. Like Morpiér's guards, these other vampires made no effort to question or halt him; they all recognized him as the lord's favored child, and they left him to move freely throughout the monastery.
Edvard found his way to the chambers, his feet taking him there without any conscious thought. When he came to the place where Morpiér's ashes had lain, he could still perceive the scent of his maker lingering within the Mediterranean air. He paused above the stones, staring down upon the blank stone, his eyes looking for any remnant of the scorched remains. He saw none however; the agents of the Court had been thorough. A second wave of sadness gripped him, and if he possessed a beating heart, he knew it would be throbbing with anguish.
He made no sound to reflect his roiling emotions, only looking up to see the hazy horizon of the Aegean sprawling like an infinite ocean of ink beneath the night sky, framed with the balcony's arched doorway. A deep sigh escaped his lips. His green eyes left the balcony, and moved around the expansive bedroom. Like the rest of the monastery, it was filled with ancient trinkets and artwork from across every time and every corner of the globe. Along the wall adjacent to the balcony was a massive fireplace, its hearth filled with blazing logs that cast a warm glow throughout the room.
Edvard was alone, facing the fire, watching the embers disappear into the chimney above on wings of gentle heat. A second sigh escaped him, this one more tremulous. The fire reminded him of Morpiér as well. There was no point in waiting anymore; his task to his maker required completion. With soft steps Edvard made his way passed the fire, to a corner of the room where tapestries hung in majestic folds over priceless sculptures and craftsman-work tables. Upon one of these tables stood a plain wooden clock, its weights and hands still from lack of winding. The clock was almost out of place standing amidst trinkets of fine metalwork and rich mosaic tile, and when Edvard reached for it, it seemed as if it leaned to him, like a child eager for its mother's arms.
The clock was heavy and musty, and Edvard regarded it for a time, a smile creeping onto his olive-skinned face. It was a happy thought to remember what this seemingly insignificant timekeeper held within it. He could recall the day as if it had been yesterday, standing here with Morpiér as the vampire lord placed his Piece of 8 within the clock's base. The piece itself had been a testament to Morpiér, and Edvard's smile broadened as he pictured it. With consummate care, he held the clock upside down, and pushed against the board at its bottom. The thin sheet of wood squeaked in protest as it slid away, revealing a small chamber beneath.
Edvard froze. The clock hung in his hands as they began to shake. The weights inside tinkled like bells as the quaking of his hands became more violent. At last the clock fell from his hands, crashing into the stone floor with a chaotic clattering of splintering wood and wrenching brass. Edvard's hands came up to the level of his eyes. They clenched and unclenched, the emptiness between his fingers almost painfully evident.
The piece was gone.
Atticus Mac Cléirich slammed the phone down upon its base. His crimson eyes flitted to and fro, reflecting the whirring gears of thought happening behind them. He stood, moving to his office window. His hands found the hip pockets of his charcoal grey, three-piece suit, as he stared across the Charles River to the red brick of Harvard University's boathouse. Normally the view intrigued him, and he often found himself viewing the skullers row past the invisible façade of the Bain & Hoyle Company, Boston Office. Today was not beginning as a normal day however. For instance, the company's vampire founder, Archibald Bain, had never called him personally.
He growled slightly, his mind made up. Atticus marched from his office, and over to where Zoey, the floor receptionist sat at her desk. She looked up at him with the hollow eye sockets of a human skull, and her bare jaw bone clicked together in what Atticus could only assume was a smile.
"Can I help you Mr. Mac Cléirich?" Zoey said with a bubbly feminine voice. She also managed to toss her blond ponytail as she talked, which was the only human feature left on an otherwise completely bare, skeletal body. As a demon, Atticus was no stranger to the myriad creatures of the Veiled World, but he had to admit that reanimated skeletons still clinging to their human likeness was something that he found slightly unnerving.
"Yes Zoey," he said, "if you would send out an immediate message to my agents that there is to be an urgent meeting in the conference room in fifteen minutes, I would appreciate it."
Zoey tilted her skull, and lifted her shoulders slightly in a move that was still flirtatious despite the lack of flesh. "Absolutely, Mr. Mac Cléirich."
Atticus scowled slightly before turning on his feet and making his way to the conference room. He grabbed a pot of coffee and poured himself a heaping cup before flopping into the chair at the head of the large table. Today was going to be a busy day.

When Kevin Wilkerson awoke to discover his York City home filled with smoke and flames, he did what he always did, according to his brother -- he put his family first.
He woke them up, jumped out a second-story window and caught his sister's three children one by one as their father dropped them 12 feet to Wilkerson's waiting arms. His niece was 7 months old at the time; his twin nephews were 2 years old.
Wilkerson then ran back inside but was unable to save his mother, Tia Smith. She died inside their burning East Cottage Place home on Oct. 24, 2010.
Eighteen months later, he joined his mother.
Wilkerson, 25, of Locust Avenue in Newberry Township, died Thursday at the scene of a 10:55 p.m.
crash in the 5200 block of North George Street Extended in East Manchester Township.Family first: "He always had the family's best interests in mind, rather than his own," said his brother, Scott Wilkerson, 26, of Bangor, Wash. "He was more than I could've asked for in a brother. He put family first."
Kevin Wilkerson loved music, whether he was listening to it, playing his guitar or writing rap songs, his brother said.
But he didn't have much free time to spend on hobbies.
"In the last few months all he's really done is take care of the family and work," Scott Wilkerson said.
Kevin Wilkerson has a young daughter, Sabrina, who lives in the State College area, according to loved ones.
He also worked hard to help provide for the children of his sister, Jacquelyn Wilkerson. It was her children he saved from the blaze, and she has since had fourth child, according to Scott Wilkerson.
"(Kevin's death) has shattered my sister completely," he said. "Me, I'm trying to hang on. I have to -- I'm the oldest."
A 'champ': The responsibility was hard on the 25-year-old man, his brother said.
"He had good days and bad, but he dealt with it like a champ," Scott Wilkerson said.
And he mostly kept a lighthearted attitude.
"He'd always try to make you laugh," said Scott Wilkerson, who warned that people should never underestimate the fragility of life. He knows that firsthand.
Kevin Wilkerson graduated from the York County School of Technology in 2004 and worked at Pennex Aluminum Co. in Wellsville.
Loyal, loving: Longtime family friend Sasha Nash said he always put a positive spin on things.
"He was really philosophical," she said. "He loved life and he was really happy-go-lucky."
He took his responsibilities as a friend as seriously as he took his work responsibilities, she said.
"He loved and accepted everyone," Nash said. "He was your friend the second he met you.
Family trait: When Kevin Wilkerson spoke about his late mother, he used the same descriptions his family used to describe him.
Just hours after that deadly three-alarm blaze, he spoke about Tia Smith to The York Dispatch.
"She always put family first," he said. "She looked out for everybody."
The crash: Kevin Wilkerson was northbound when he failed to negotiate a curve. The Ford Ranger he was driving went off an embankment and hit the roof of a home that sits lower than the road, according to Northeastern Regional Police.
After hitting the roof, the Ranger struck a pickup truck parked in the driveway, as well as a boat on a trailer, police said. The SUV then landed upside down on the driveway.
His passenger, a 21-year-old woman, was flown to York Hospital with head injuries, police said. No one inside the home was hurt.

KENNEWICK, Wash. - Fees having to do with licensing are going up. The one that will likely affect most people is the driver's license fee. That's going from $25 to $45. The last time that fee went up in price was back in the year 2000.
Several of the fees related to driver licensing are going up and a few of them having to do with vehicle licensing will go up, as well. But officials with the Department of Licensing said these fee increases are for the benefit of everyone in the state.
"They were looking at the money it was going to take to continue to operate and maintain the transportation system we have and they needed to look for sources of additional revenue to get that work done," said DOL spokesperson Brad Benfield.
By next summer, the DOL expects these fee increases will garner an additional $60 million for Washington's transportation system.

Reihan Salam rights about some of the social origins of political polarization in the fact that different kinds of people live in different kinds of places. To this I would add the baseline fact that extreme non-polarization in the 20th century was an artifact of Jim Crow. Members of congress' views on economic policy didn't correlate strongly with their views on highly salient race-related issues. And to that I would add Alan Abramowitz' point that the modern electorate is much better educated and ideologically aware than was the electorate of the Gilded Age era of polarization.
All of this makes it quite difficult to achieve a "grand bargain" on tax and budget issues. Which is one reason I think it's unfortunate that both our political institutions and the larger political culture in which they're embedded places such a premium on grand bargains. You can easily imagine a healthier approach based on bipartisanship by alternation. The way this would look is that we would have no fiscal consolidation in 2011 or 2012, since none is necessary. But then if Barack Obama was still Prime Minister in 2013, you would do the left-wing version of deficit reduction—higher taxes, technocratic health care cost controls, and less defense spending. The volume of higher taxes the Democrats would want to implement wouldn't suffice to close the long-term gap, but it would reduce it enough to be manageable for a while. Then if at some point the Democrats' approach stopped working and led to an economic slowdown, Republicans would come into office and implement the right-wing version of deficit reduction—benefit cuts in safety net programs and austerity for public workers. Some of the stuff Democrats did would be rolled back, but the most politically and economically sustainable elements wouldn't be. Then at some point Democrats would come into office, and roll back some of the stuff the GOP did, but the most politically and economically sustainable stuff would stick. Then they would do some new stuff and eventually they'd lose.
In many places, I think it's taken for granted that this is how progress is made. In the UK, Labour never wins a definitive victory against the Conservatives and vice versa. Nor is there ever a "grand bargain." But over the long term, public policy reflects both conservative and progressive ideas because people inspired by those ideas take turns trying to govern the country in a way that pleases the voters. America, by contrast, is stuck between people with apocalyptic visions of final victory and unrealistic visions of a "deal" that takes issues "off the table" via bipartisan consensus.

What Fireworks are legal? Also, here's some safety tips
By JOHN A. WINTERS
Editor's note: With a bit of humor mixed in, Newnan Times-Herald news reporter John Winters gives a serious look at fireworks purchase and use in Georgia before the upcoming Fourth of July holiday.
Your attention, please.
In a nutshell, don't play chicken with someone else by seeing who can hold a lit firework the longest; only use fireworks outdoors; never relight a "dud" firework; safety glasses are a good idea or you can go blind; do not look down at a lit firework wondering why it hasn't gone off yet (see previous guideline); always have water ready; and alcohol and fireworks don't mix.
The longstanding guideline of only using fireworks under adult supervision currently is under review to add the word "mature" as studies have found sometimes teen-agers and kids are safer with fireworks than adults.
Wednesday is the day we celebrate the adoption of our Declaration of Independence and our independence from those guys across the pond with the funny accents.
It's also the day of picnics, no mail service, freaked out pets and, yes, fireworks.
And the big question is always the same — what's legal?
Here's what Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner Ralph Hudgens says is allowed:
"Wire or wood sparklers of 100 grams or less of mixture per item; other sparkling items which are non-explosive and nonaerial and contain 75 grams or less of chemical compound per tube or a total of 200 grams or less for multiple tubes; snake and glow worms; trick noise makers which include paper streamers, party poppers, string poppers, snappers, and drop pops each consisting of 0.25 grains or less of explosive mixture."
Now that we've made that clear as mud, let's try again.
If it goes "pop," or "whee" or makes a "sizzle" sound, you're probably OK. It if goes BOOM!!! or KAPOW!!! and people are all "oohing" and "aahing," well, probably not.
Basically, it's legal to use fireworks that are sold in local stores or in the tents you see popping up at various locations around town this time of the year. It's probably illegal to buy fireworks from a guy on a side road in the back of a semi-trailer with Alabama license tags.
So, yes on sparklers and non-explosive fireworks, no on most consumer fireworks, and no on firecrackers, skyrockets and cherry bombs.
In all seriousness, use common sense.
"Around 8,000 people are treated in hospital emergency rooms every year for fireworks-related injuries," Hudgens said. "And most of those incidents involve children."
And on the Fourth of July, fireworks usually start more fires nationwide than all other causes combined, he added.
So enjoy the Fourth, but do so in a way that gives our local city and county firefighters a break and doesn't involve a call to Coweta 911.
Haralson in the southeast corner of Coweta will hold its July 4th celebration a day early, on July 3, with a parade and fireworks show at the corner of Shaddix and Line Creek roads around dusk.
And the city of Newnan's annual parade will begin at 6 p.m. the Fourth of July downtown. Afterward, the Newnan Rotary Club will host its annual family entertainment leading to the evening's community fireworks show at the recently completed Drake Stadium on the campus of Newnan High School off LaGrange Street. The fireworks show will start around 9 p.m. or soon after dusk.

Lately, the fine intent of eliminating discrimination seems to have morphed into diversity advocacy.Before I proceed, let me say that I prefer a world in which not everyone is the same. I like that my neighbors include a gay couple and a single mother and that several languages are spoken on my street.But happy diversity is an organic process that results when like-minded citizens congregate around shared values and interests. Often those interests and values have evolved from racial and ethnic identities, but not necessarily. Sometimes neighbors of diverse backgrounds share affection for old houses, or window boxes, or pet-friendliness.That not all people have access to all the same housing opportunities is called life in a free-market society. But the fair-housing folks want life to be more fair, and the ads are warming us up for some really fun social engineering. Read more…
The wormiest of three ads posted online features a mother and daughter just home from visiting mom's workplace. Daughter is breathless with wonder at how diverse Mom's workplace is, but wants to know why everyone in their neighborhood "looks just like us?" Dum-de-dum-dum.
What do people want in their neighborhood? How about affordable housing, access to decent hospitals, grocery stores and businesses, a police force on your side, and a good public education and the careers that come with it. It's no coincidence that neighborhoods where those things are missing are those that overwhelmingly are minority-dominated. That's not the "free market," that's institutional racism held in place by economic disparity. Where one grows up can be a burden or a blessing, and it is not easily negated after the fact. Contrary to what Ms. Parker claims, diverse neighborhoods are not produced deliberately and intentionally – they are more often than not a product of economic and social circumstance. For that matter, so are the non-diverse neighborhoods, like the 1950s white-only enclaves that have only recently begun to have ethnic diversity, as those neighborhoods decline and the white people MOVE OUT.
It must be so nice to be able to pretend that a diverse environment is something willfully chosen or unchosen based on your own personal preference and needs. But it's not. It's a social justice issue, showing the inequalities, often along color lines, that still exist in America. There's nothing "free-market" about a social stratum that is stacked against you from day one because of where you live. Ms. Parker, if you're not committed to fixing it, you're part of the problem.

He's now -- talk about FaceBook because it may be changing its status in the mobile market how high Shibani Joshi.
Joins us with the details on another story a lot of people are talking about today.
They think they sure are -- an obvious question to ask is why in the world which FaceBook when a play in this sandbox when there are so many other competitor -- apple Google.
Samsung the list goes on in non ending -- compelling reason is while it's just got a captive and large audience a billion users.
And according to a study from IDC in FaceBook last week FaceBook found that mobile users are checking their face but.
Status fourteen times today on their phone most -- then waking up.
In fifteen -- sell what they're trying to do is -- the entire experiencing a growth experience.
Being in the Smartphone market.
Send any accent and the mobile money that goes all along with that.
They're holding a big event later on this week at their headquarters on Thursday -- -- sort of the rumored status so -- we think.
Could be in a phone based on her rumored reports right now we think that the phone is going to be made by HTC.
This is like the number four number five player in the Smartphone business.
I it will have a customized version of Google and -- in doses.
Unique operating system or customize Google Android operating system a four point.
Three inch screen actually in sixteen gigs of storage and -- rear cam that's actually weaker then the iPhone.
At five megapixels a one point six megapixel front camera.
And then if you have a Wi-Fi we believe that you're going to be able to make free calls and text messages using the messenger.
Overall -- on I think you would agree with me these are these features kind of just -- just nothing great of course and everything to change when the company does.
And if it does come out with their phone on Thursday but what they're gonna have to do is convince users that just opening their act isn't an -- they're gonna need the full face but the experience from start to finish.
Not going to be easy value proposition to make out there.
No it's not as that I was thinking the whole time during your reported that hey we have an app on our phones -- -- on our android phone now for FaceBook why would we need -- -- We'll say I guess face.
It's it's all about integrations and they wanna get these hardcore users when you open your phone you get -- -- when he take but I don't you go straight to -- and it's about.
Eliminating the steps united may not be they're tired audience but they're billion others that media content they have a pretty good one to choose from -- right about that -- -- in the newsroom now we're gonna.

Methuen, Mass. driver killed in I-95 rollover in Portsmouth
According to New Hampshire State Police, the accident happened about 9:49 p.m. and involved a single vehcile.
"Preliminary investigation revealed that a 2006 Chevy HHR sedan, being driven by William Lasonde, age 63, of Methuen, Mass., was traveling northbound on Interstate 95. The vehicle left the right side of the roadway, struck a guardrail, and rolled over multiple times," Troop A said in a statement. "As a result, Lasonde was ejected from the vehicle. Lasonde was transported to the Portsmouth Regional Hospital where he later died as a result of his injuries."
This accident occurred in the right median area separating Interstate 95 northbound and the Exit 5 exit ramp. A portion of the right travel lane was closed for approximately two hours as Troopers investigated.
Assisting New Hampshire State Police at the scene were both the Portsmouth Police Department and the Portsmouth Fire Department.
This accident remains under investigation by Trooper Scott Garton. Anyone with information is asked to contact Trooper Garton at (603) 223-8490.

Sculpting the Mermaid and 'Clops
3 comments:
- Shelley Noble said...
Looking great, Jeff. How's come you don't mold the pupp with the eye ball in place and then slice it out after casting, oh wait, I see, you're using the eyeball cavity as support for the actual ball placed in a cast. You're not making a latex shell to fill. You're making a solid pupp, right?
- UbaTuber said...
Yup, he'll be cast in solid foam latex...going to paint up the wooden ball like an eyeball, coat it in shiny clear coat, then pop it into the foam casting....only thing I'm worried about is undercuts around the opening, but since I'm casting in foam, which has a bit of give, I dont think I'll have trouble pulling him out of the plaster (ultracal) mold...
- people in gorillasuits said...
didn't you just post yesterday about the skeleton of the mermaid - and now about cyclops being ready and the mermaid... Wow. Quite productive !
All the best for the further processs - there is a lot of experience shown in your work, and - believe it or not - the work CAN get better there. Congrats ! - 3:21 AM

Today is National Public Sleeping Day, a day best used as an excuse to get some extra (and often badly needed) shut-eye in public. It might not be as well-known as Valentine's Day or St. Patrick's Day, but National Public Sleeping Day does bring sleep into the spotlight.

The Galway councillor who proposed building a statue to Che Guevara in the Irish city has accused American opponents of interfering in Irish affairs.
Billy Cameron has insisted that the West of Ireland is quite entitled to celebrate Guevara's Irish heritage.
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the powerful head of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has written to the Irish Prime Minister asking that the statue be stopped.
Ros-Lehtinen called the proposal 'an outrage' in a statement to the Huffington Post.
She said: "Despite the image makeover which some try to give him, the real Che Guevara was a mass murderer and human rights abuser.
"To honor him with a monument would be an outrage, and would be a futile attempt to hide the brutal acts which he committed.
Responding to the growing criticism in America, Galway City Councillor Cameron stated: "Everybody who has spoken out on this issue is within their rights to voice their objections.
"But the project was given the full and unanimous support of the council. I honestly think this has been blown out of all proportion.
"The project commemorates Guevara's Irish ancestry. The Galway connection was established some years ago.

"He's related to two of the Galway tribes, the Lynches and the Blakes. We want to celebrate somebody from our historic past."
Cameron made his remarks as a second American politician went to war with the Galway City Council over their plans to erect a statue to Guevara in the city.
Florida based Representative Mario Diaz-Balart has joined the Foreign Affairs Committee chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen in slamming the plans.
Rep. Ros-Lehtinen has led the charge against plans by the Council to honor Guevara's ancestral links with the West of Ireland.
She said: "Instead of honoring a killer, the City Council of Galway should honor the victims of Che and the Castro dictatorship by rejecting this proposal."
"The romanticizing image that this monument would portray would serve to diminish the brutality that was committed by Che and the painful suffering endured by many Cuban-American families and his other victims far and wide. Che Guevara was a ruthless killer who should not be idealized."
Florida Rep. Diaz-Balart has also blasted the council's proposal.
"Galway is a city where people have the right to vote, the right to worship freely, the right to speak freely, and access a free press– all of which Che Guevara and his murderous associate, dictator Fidel Castro, ruthlessly suppressed," he said.
"Having a memorial to this cruel assassin is a shameful affront to the thousands of Cubans he murdered and utterly ignores the truth of who Che Guevara actually was.
"A memorial to this despicable individual is a shameful slap in the face to the victims, whose lives he so ruthlessly extinguished, their families, and the millions of Cubans who still suffer under the effects of his deplorable acts.
"I am confident that if the people of Galway know the well-documented horrors inflicted by Che Guevara, they will be disgusted by the prospect of erecting a monument to that monster."
I read this here in Eire and fell around laughing. Some R Rep King sort of stated that if it is erected U S Business may want to pull out etc.Get a life.Mandella=Terrorist.Gandhi=Terrorist.Michael Collins=Terrorist,Do some forget these things?They were all freedom fighters.
Castro overthrew the repressive Batista regime.He (Batista)aligned himself with the landed gentry and suspended the 1940 constitution.Batista like his cohorts in central and south America were U.S. puppets.The U.S. did not give a dam about the basic human rights of others and are culpable in the murder of thousands of people south of the Rio Grande to Tierra Del fuega.Socialism was their way out of the shackles of American tyranny I suppose one could make a case that the U.S. brought communism to the Caribbean by it's tyranny and intransigence.
I'll consider the source when told what is valid Seano. Since this thread has to do with the revolutionary genius of Che and the pro communist movement, why not turn over all your wealth to your government, so they can redistribute it to the proper sources. Live the simple life of a Cuban national, do your assigned labor collect your bag of rice and beans. If you believe the communist way is the best, stop complaining and jettison your capital, live the dream.
Collins sent his death squad out to shoot (11?) Brit secret service agents during the tan war.The US sent its death squad to kill Bin Laden and so on.Make a valid point instead of condoning death squads that you favour,BrianO.
Did Michael Collins have death squads? Che opposed free elections that's progressive. Che was also a total failure as a leader. Anyone can be remade to a useful tool for the communists, beware idealistic freedom lovers you are the target. Think for yourself.
Nice to have the socioeconomic luxury of being "outraged" (sic) about the erection (ahem!) of a statue to a great revolutionary leader on a par with such great American Revolutionaries as George Washington and Paul Revere, who did chased their Redcoats out of South America. Republican America has lost its way. Ireland doesn't need codependent tourism. You're all welcome, of course. But it's impolite to set preconditions. Ernesto 'Che' Guevara was a Sth. American Michael Collins. Viva la revolucion, mi amigos!
So many so-and-so's complaining over a statue of Che ... Saying he is such and so of a demon ... What would they like instead ? ... A statue of Augusto Pinochet ? Hitler ? ... or the [unmentionable] 'Swine' who whipped and starved the poor off their own ancestral homes ? Huffington Post , my eye ... What is going on in YOUR OWN backyard?
Murph, 2 Irish politicans went to the US for Paddys day and they were INVITED over.
Dickmc-dick by name, dick by nature. Stop being so here are more Anti-catholics in Ireland than you even know. Che had no influence on that.
So many communist today. Do any of you own anything?
Citizenwhy makes a valid point! We are presently training thugs and killers for the US friendly elements in South America in Georgia, Every country has a segment of government people with an international agenda.. There are Irish that show up in Washington looking for money. There are Americans willing to give it to them providing the US is allowed to use Shannon Airport as if it were Andrews Air Force Base. There are Irish that howled in protest on RTE when it was suggested that Ireland make a donation to Katrina "America has enough millionaires" (it was not about the money, it was the gesture) this was at the height of the Celtic Tiger ! The Americans have such a wonderful history in South America. The meat packing companies I.E., Swift and Co. Wilson Beef etc in Rosario, Argentina in the 1930's buying local politicians and fermenting discord and death due to their tactics. United Fruit in Central America, again using local bought off politicians to do what they damn well pleased, and of course that great guy Pinochet (Americas guy) in Chile disposing of the duly elected Salvador Allende (so American corporations could control Chilean minerals) We now have the new Irish in America, they are flying their Irish flags alongside their American flags on their waterfront property in Scituate and Cape Cod. Their father was probably driving a bus in Dorchester 50 years ago, but they are now arch conservatives! There is a foreseeable end to the Irish attatchment to the US, that began with what are now Irish 40 yr. olds and younger. Many so called Irish Americans would get a rude awakening visiting Ireland today. Che Guevera came from wealth and priviledge, anything he did was not for the money, which is more than some of his violent critics could ever understand, Whatever Che did, he was a punk compared to the foreign policy that America has exerted on the world for the past sixty years. So if Ireland wants to build a statue, it is their business
I,m not quite sure which is a bigger outrage.Putting up a statue of Che Guevara arguably a controversial subject no matter what side you take or inviting the biggest mass murderer in all history.The Queen of England.
No one, but no one..., who is NOT a citizen of Ireland or of any country, has the right to tell any sovereign nation how to run it's own internal affairs! What arrogance! What gall! American Republican Congresspeople Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Diaz Balart, two of the most extremist rabid rightwing exiled anti-Castro "Cuban" Americans have no business telling what statues Ireland can or can not erect! I ask ALL decent Irish citizens to TOTALLY ignore these two interloping clowns and erect the statue of Comandante de la Revolucion Cubana..., or whatever statue Ireland wants to erect! ...That's your own right as a sovereign citizen of your own country! Again, I repeat..., it's your own home and NOT of those "Cuban" Americans"! HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE! LA LUCHA CONTINUA! (TILL VICTORY FOREVER! THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES!) - E.F. Mohammed Martinez - Chicano Anti-Fascist Freedom Fighter - Spear of the Aztlan National Congress
Well, they would be upset about a statue of Dr. Ernesto 'Che' Guevara Lynch, wouldn't they? Yes, I have his name right, the second to last name is the surname in the Spanish custom, and he was a doctor of medicine, who first got involved with the rebels by treating them as a doctor. The Americans were the ones who had him killed, after all. His friend Castro was a man of many flaws, but he was an enormous improvement over the American's stooge, Juan Bautista, who committed atrocities that would make your toes curl. Castro may have locked up his enemies without trial, but Bautista tortured and maimed his enemies.
firstname.lastname@example.com should know that with many family members and friends in the Americanias,that this Commenters remarks reflect the love felt for the USA. What I don't like is the way it feels it has to bomb and bully its way around the world, and it's appalling human rights abuses. Remind yourself exactly what happened at the Bay of Pigs, and where the Americanian Guantanimo Bay Torture Centre is! >>> colkelley @09.30 resorts to racist remarks and reminds us that the 'drunken stumblebums' who built the place, only succeeded in constructing a very (quote:)"dark,moist, smelly place".>>> jamieLM @09.51. Hi! I usually like your comments, but here I find you claiming to speak for the 'vast majority of American(ian)s' who don't care who Ireland honours with a statue or memorial.You could have shown some class and sophistication, honey, by just leaving it at that, without resorting to xenophobic insults too. For your information, the Irish countryside, towns and cities are a-wash with statuary to an array ofIrish and British heros; both animal and human! We like it that way, and don't welcome outside interference in who or what we choose to honour and respect in our own country.
We Irish Americans have been interfering in Irish affairs for years for the GOOD of Ireland and not supporting this outrage of support for an Anti Catholic Communist.
This might wake some people up the real horrors and truth which you won't see on American TV. For some reason they don't want you to see. Ask yourself why after watching. For those in the US you can see it on Youtube. A documentuary by John Pilger called "the war you don't see" Be warned its shocking to witness, and perhaps you might understand why there were Revolutionary's like Che Guevara.
They should put up a Charles Manson statue instead.
Pity these politicians don't have anything better to do with their time in office collecting fat paychecks.
Maybe the US politicians would rather their Latin American puppet dictators - like Bautista (whom Guevara helped to depose) - or the Mafiosi who ran the place before the revolution, would be honored by the Irish.
Typical American politicians interfering in the affairs of other countries,The same pollies have the blood of innocent people on their hands the hypocrites...a bunch of whiners.
I am a veteran and American. No matter what Che´, did it pales to the cumulative grief the US has caused south of our borders in the name of corporate control of foriegn economies. At least Che´ had social justice in mind. IF Che´, does some good for Galway good for Galway.
If you want the US to stay out of Irish affairs stop your 17 politicians from coming to the US on St.Patrick's day with their hands out begging for US dollars.The US has provided more aid for thirld world nations (like Ireland)than anyone in the world.We can find others to bail out!
How about a statue for old Dick Cheney??? Put it right in Western Ireland , he has alot in common with the local population... Mean and Nasty.... Burn't one heart out being a nasty SOB now he has a brand spankin new 37yr old heart... Imagine the damage he will get done before he meets his maker, Satan....
I think that it would be right aplpropriate next to the monument to Willliam of Orange.
This is strictly a business that the city of Galway and its inhabitants have to decide. The US govt better take care of their own problems and not waste time on stuff that is none of their business. Nice job diverting from internal politics....as usual
Yes America should stay out of Irish affairs. That should include revoking all visa to Irish pols coming to America for help. It is amazing to me how Ireland is so willing to come to America for assistance but wHen we raise our voice over an offensive statue you don't want to hear from us.
Che's image over a shamrock. I can see the first tee shirt but then again someone probably has it out already.
Brian0 we have all the freedom and liberty we need in Canada thank you very much, we defeated you once and we can fight you again if we have to. Seeing that the US is one of the biggest war nations in the world but we would rather that you stay out of our busness also. They aren't coming to prosper legally that is for sure,most are criminals, have you checked your jails.
I read some story on here about the US Ireland Alliance a few days ago. They are lookin for 5 million dollars from US taxpayers? Then turn around and put statues of mass killers up in their parks. I think it would be best to just part ways, The Irish and The Irish Americans.I see them at woodbury commons in NY . Stuffing their bags full of Jeans and designer garbage clothing. Then go home and put up a statue of Che. What a laugh. Stay home , let us keep our 5 million dollars, and all the other dollars as well. Then you can put up a statue of che, or Hitler, or Stalin , while you all sit around and laugh at the Irish Americans who are celebrating St Pat's.Trust me, its not you folks we are celebrating. Its our own people, Irish Americans who came here. Different class of people to the Che Statue crowd. Oh and if your "Horrified" at the Irish in America because of the way we act on St Pats, rest easy. It has nothin to do with you. Same way your murderous Che Idol has nothin to do with up. I say put it up !!!!
As someone who served in the Caribbean with the U.S. Navy, I can tell you that reality states that dictators were necessary at one time. Che was a cold blooded Communist who even served with the Cubans in African campaigns of liberation. He was very good at what he did which was based on an immoral view of the evolution of history. These Cuban politicians saw Communism first hand as I did for six weeks to training at G-Mo. The Democratic Party has reached out to and has been infiltrated by Godless Communism. The Republicans are the lesser of two evils. The forcing on Catholics of the contraception/abortion mandate is parallel to what has happened through the years in Castro's Cuba. It is exactly the same and it is obvious that Obama has been influenced greatly by such as Guevara.
It is very difficult for the US to own up to its nasty colonial history in Latin America, squashing moderate middle class revolutions, mild land reforms, and efforts to provide some equity for the poor, all in the name of anti-Communism. You would think the US policy of favoring an entrenched upper class and its servant military would end with the collapse of world communism, but the School of the Americas, funded by and run by the US on US territory, continues to train Latin America's military in "counter-terrorism" which simply means operating death squads and squashing reformers. Naturally the Irish, and those of Irish parentage anywhere, tend to see the US as imitating the worst of the British Empire. But many Irish-Americans would be stalwart backers of US repressive policies in Latin America. In fact many Iriush-Americans back the introduction of far right policies and police state powers in the US. Very sad.
These foreign politicians have some condescending cheek trying to tell us - an independent sovereign state - what to do in our private affairs! Imagine Irish politicians ringing the White House voicing objections to the erection of a statue to war criminal George Bush snr or his son George (Uday) Bush, they would be rightfully laughed at and told to mind their own f*cking business. We have to grow up as a nation and stop accepting the head patting and finger wagging from these bigger and longer established countries, whether it be Europe or America.
A murder now has statuary ... Can't you let the pigeons take care of it?
"...leading US politicians"? Seriously? The ones cited in this article are hardly movers and shakers in the political arena. And in addition to that, they have no right to dictate what goes on in another country. This non-story deserves to be buried.
@seagreen - Thanks for the history lesson. Please remember that facts have no place in the emotional outbursts of Republican Politicians. You can talk yourself blue about the evils of the dictators we have supported and the righteous efforts of the people to overthrow them and they will still be blinded by the fear of the other and their own materialism. They would have been the Tories chased out of America during our revolution even though they now wrap themselves in Old Glory.
Che Guevera was a murderer. Why would anyone romanticize a communist thug who shot citizens he didn't agree with in the head. Where has socialism or communism worked? It hasn't. Over and over again it has not only failed, but ruined generations of people. And yet, so many continue as if we have no evidence. Russia? Cuba? North Korea? And for those who say China is working... if people forced to have abortions while earning a dollar a day is working to you than you need to set your sights higher.
I'm pretty much a "Don't Care"on this statue, though I incline to thinking that a statue to someone with links to Galway--Humanity Dick or Liam O'Flaherty or Padraig O Conaire, for examples--would be a better use of people's money. But SeamusMor's hope that "The statue will put Galway on the world map" has to be the most ludicrous statement I've seen on this site for quite a while. What? People are going to say "This year we had intended to take a Caribbean cruise, but we've decided to go to Galway Ireland instead to see the Che statue..." SeamusMor, are you for real?
Mr. Cameron needs to re-think his stance on proposing this.
Glorious and Free, What will you do proudcanadian when it's time to stand guard for thee, will you be standing guard for your forefathers who allowed you to live, fat and happy, or complain and moan of the inequities of freedom and the wonders of some utopia dreamed. Why did and do people board makeshift rafts and cross the open ocean to try to escape cuba and hopefully get into the US. People should be doing the opposite according to your logic. Why don't you emigrate to the great utopia that is cuba, I'm sure you would find life very fulfilling there.
Galway don't listen to these American idiots and go ahead and erect whatever statue you want. You don't need to have any American tourists anyway plenty of other countries want to see your fine country. I have been to Galway a few times and just loved it. US mind your own business you have enough trouble in your own country without critizing others. Seanfer7 you to have hit the nail on the head. The Republican morons are at it again removing one foot to insert the other. I blame The Donald the biggest republican moraon of them all.
Funny how the Irish conveniently pick and chose who is "Irish" and who isn't. To them, Che is Irish, but yet so many of us first-generation foreigners are not.
US politicians do not have much credibility today, especially when they craft their messages to please their constituents , during or in anticipation of their next election. A monument to Baptista would more readily be viewed as an outrage. The recent novel by William Kennedy: Chango's Beads and Two-Toned Shoes, high lights the abuses of the Baptista regime and the ideals of the Revolution led by Castro. The Revolution may have gotten side-tracked after it succeeded, but let history tell us who the heroes were and let us not defer to the politicians for that judgement.
Thanks seegreen for putting in some proper history about Che. He wasn't the monster that most Americans think he was. They talk obout mass murderers, hell they elected the biggest mass murderer for two terms, does anyone remember George Warmunger Bush. Towngate your post was right on.
The Republicans are against everything why don't they mind their own business oh I FORGOT THEY WANT GOVERNMENT OUT OF PEOPLES LIVES
whats the difference between Che and Obama?Both Irish, right?
SeamusMor - those Congressmen will do anything to divert attention from the fact that they aren't lifting a finger to create jobs. However their efforts to make guns more available and health care less available will help encourage hiring at mortuaries. Otherwise, the last I heard Ireland was a free country and they can build whatever statue they feel like.
All of the talk about Guevera killing thousands? All records and research indicate that he personally killed 10 people. They were deserters,those that stole rations, and two that raped peasant women..Guevera changed from a priviledged young Argentine physician during his motorcycle trip all through South America, where he saw people being brutalized by the then reigning people in power. He was in a position at La Cabana Prison to make final appelate decision on 55 war prisoners. He did not lessen or free these people, so althiough he did not personally kill them, their execution was attributed to him. In 1997, a letter in El Nuevo Herald claimed that he shot a 14 yr. old. This letter was written by a man that said he was a prisoner. This was disputed by others on the basis that age and demographics would not have allowed the writer to have been there.. There were others execurted at La Cabana after the war, but not at the hand of Guevera, he had long since departed for the Congo. Other claims of rampant murder were proven to be totally false.. Guevere was killed by the CIA in Bolivia...During the Batista regime, 20,000 Cubans were killed, and thousands tortured whil American gangsters and tourists frolicked in the Casinos and clubs of Havana.. It depends where you stood economically or otherwise as to who your hero was/is.. having your wealth and position taken from you ( or at least having to move it to another country) is reason enough to keep the first wave which were mainly Batista's perpetually pissed off.
As an American, I honestly couldn't give a rats arse if they erected this statue. It is their land. It is their right.
Cameron is exactly right ,Ireland can put up anything they want,but if the perception causes a huge drop in tourism,don't send any more ambassadors over to the US seeking money,cause it won't work.
If anyone should be outraged, it's the U.S. tax payers! With all that needs to be done in the U.S., the thought of Congressmen spending time thinking and talking about a proposed statue in far off Galway is ludicrous. Whatever and whoever Che was is not as important as what he has become; an international icon, who, according to his own father,"the first thing to note is that in my son's veins flowed the blood of the Irish rebels." The statue will put Galway on the world map, and make the seaside city on the remote west coast a destination for tourists the world over who might never have placed Ireland on their travel itineraries, were it not for the statue. The U.S. Congress should mind its own business!
@Towngate, The vast majority of Americans couldn't care less whether this statue is built or not. If the people of Galway can't find anyone in Ireland, or in Irish history, more deserving than this creep to honor, so be it. I recently traveled to see the unveiling of a beautiful statue in an Iowa city that honored the plight of Irish immigrants to the U.S. and the role they played in the early history of that Iowa city - a group worthy of being honored.
Since when does the US get to determine what statues get to be built about whom in countries other than our own? If Galway wants to build a statue to Che Guevara, they can. They're in a separate sovereign nation from the US and we have no say in it. If you don't like that idea, don't visit there. But it's pretty effing arrogant to be trying to tell people who are not part of the US what they can and can't do, especially considering some of the despots and dictators we've supported in the past, many of whom make Guevara's actions seem like child's play.
Next time I am in Galway I would like to see the statue.
Wasn't Hitler .00023% Irish as well?
Towngate has his/her head in a dark, moist and smelly personal place - don't bother him/her with the fact that Che was a mass murderer and did not believe in human rights in any way. What better person for the Irish to honor to prove to the rest of the world that they are, indeed, a group of drunken stumblebums. Quit griping about St. Paddy's Day portrayals of the Irish when you are bearing out every stereotype of the monkeylike Irish.
I could be mistaken but I read somewhere that George Washington and Thos. Jefferson were slave owners. Could be wrong and hope I am but the other day, in DC, I saw quite a few statues honoring these men. I dare not mention the extermination of a good portion of the American Indian population. Revolution is ugly and produces some horrible deaths and destruction. Che is just one of those leaders. One more name, and they now own most of the world, Communist China and Chairman Mao. Let's start getting more outraged Mario and not just at Che.
Read the rant from Towngate and that explains the snobbish elite in Ireland that hate America. What an insult to the Cubans who fled for there lives to America in order to live in freedom. Oh yeah! Towngate Americans is the correct spelling not Americanians.What a naive ass.
Che was a totalitarian who didn't believe in personal freedom. He helped set up the prison camps in Cuba that were later used to incarcerate gays and people with aids. Surely there are many local Galway heroes who could be honored for their role in freedom instead of this person.
Are the Pesky Americanians afraid that if Ireland is covered in memorials to "Mass Murderers and Human Rights Abusers" they just happen to disapprove of, that there will be no room left for any memorials to their own world-wide Mass Murderers and Human Rights Abuses! Connolly; tell this rabid Ros-Lehtinen upstart where to stick her "outrage"!

Note that my questions here arise purely from ignorance. I do not, in any way, harbor opinions about the inferiority of either gender and I, without qualification or ambiguity, think that rape is wrong. I also certainly hold that taking advantage of a person too drunk to rationally consent to sex is morally wrong.
But I don't quite see why it should be illegal. People are responsible for agreeing to things and their actions when drunk, right? Drunk people sign contracts, etc. And when they screw up, we hold them responsible for that: it's why drunk drivers are punished. Why is it that, in the case of sex, we aren't allowed to treat consent as consent? Although I think that it's wrong for a person to take advantage of a drunk person, isn't his or her consent while drunk still his or her own prerogative? Should he or she not be responsible for the consequences of her actions while drunk or sober?
Again, sorry if these questions are offensively ignorant, I just don't know much about the ethics in this area. If the mods feel this thread is inappropriate or too sexist or somethhing, I understand.
EDIT: note that I am not asking anything along the lines of 'wasn't she asking for it?' By definition, a woman cannot ask for rape. If she didn't explicitly consent, her other supposed signals don't matter, I get that.
