Webster verdict: Guilty on all countsBy DALE VINCENT
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 11. 2012 12:58PM
MANCHESTER - A Hillsborough County Superior Court jury this afternoon found Myles Webster, 23, guilty of the attempted murder of Manchester Police Officer Daniel Doherty and of two counts of reckless conduct, robbery and resisting arrest in the March 21 shooting at the corner of Wayne and Rimmon streets.
The jury began deliberations Tuesday shortly after noon.
After the verdicts were read, defense attroneys requested the jury be polled on all the verdicts. A pre-sentence investigation will now be conducted.
In closing arguments, the defense had sought to persuade the jury that Webster was the victim of mistaken identity and that the police had conducted the investigation in such a way as to guarantee his conviction.
The prosecution said there was ample evidence that Webster was the man who shot Doherty after a foot chase, emptying his gun in an effort to kill Doherty as the police officer lay on the ground.
Prosecutors said Webster then fled the scene of the shooting, unsuccessfully demanding keys and a car from a neighborhood woman and then cutting through yards as he was pursued by police.
Webster was caught in a back yard at 145 Putnam St., where he had disposed of his black jacket in a trash can.
The .357 Glock semi-automatic gun he used was found at the base of a fence dividing the yard from 141 Putnam St.
In her closing argument, assistant Hillsborough County Attorney Karen Gorham told jurors that the defense's claim that Webster is the victim of mistaken identity, that there is no DNA or fingerprint evidence, and that police made a 'conscious, calculated decision' not to show witnesses a photo array because they were afraid Webster would not be identified, are red herrings.
Defense attorney Robert Swales told jurors in his closing argument, 'Myles Webster is not the man who shot Officer Doherty.'
Swales said that even Doherty's identification of Webster was contaminated by viewing the picture of Webster. He also suggested that when Doherty was confronted by Webster at the corner, 'because of the glare, he couldn't see it was a gun ... His focus was on what is in that man's hand. He wasn't looking at the face.'
Swales said, 'Officer Doherty's recollection of what happened isn't what happened.' He said Doherty's inability to name the streets on which he chased the shooter is an indication that his memory is untrustworthy.
As for his identification of Webster, said Swales, 'His memory had been infected by the (media) coverage, contaminated.'
Gorham said that is all nonsense. For starters, Doherty got a good look at Webster before the shooting when he called to him to stop. 'This man looked at him and ran,' she said. At the shooting scene, said Gorham, the two men were as close as two feet. 'The defendant advanced and continued shooting,' his bullets leaving seven holes in Doherty's body, she said.
'He intended to kill Officer Doherty, but he failed,' Gorham said.
Gorham dismissed the defense contention that not using a photo array was an effort to ensure Webster's convictions because the witnesses might not pick out Webster's photo. It wasn't necessary because they had the right man, she said.
'This investigation was done right from the very beginning,' she said, from the moment an undercover officer asked for followup after seeing Webster get out of a car at the intersection of Amory and McGregory streets with what looked like a gun butt showing at his waistband.
As for the defense's contention that the descriptions of the shooter's clothing all varied, Gorham said Webster was wearing his black jacket with plaid hood lining and black jeans when he got out of the car, but later discarded the jacket and a black T-shirt and was captured wearing his white T-shirt. The black T-shirt was found along the chase route, and the jacket was found in the yard where he was captured. 'He disrobed as he went through the neighborhood,' she said.
As for the lack of DNA and fingerprint evidence, Gorham said the New Hampshire State Police fingerprint and DNA experts explained why it isn't always possible to get that information from guns. This isn't like the television show 'CSI,' she told jurors. This case was solved by a thorough investigation, she said.
Previous story follows:
MANCHESTER - Closing arguments will be this morning in the trial of Myles Webster, 23, charged with attempted murder in the March 21 shooting of Manchester Police Officer Daniel Doherty.
After jury instructions are given by Judge Gillian Abramson in Hillsborough County Superior Court North, the jury will begin deliberations.
The prosecution argues that not only did Webster fire his .357 Glock semiautomatic handgun at Doherty until it was empty at Wayne and Rimmon streets, but Webster also had fired the gun out of a car window shortly before. He is also charged with threatening to kill an officer rather than go back to prison, and demanding keys and a car from a woman moments after the shooting, saying: "I need to get out of here."
The final prosecution witness Monday was Dr. Robert A. Catania, one of the Catholic Medical Center surgeons who operated on Doherty the night of the shooting.
"Nine times out of 10, the wounds would have been fatal," Catania said. Proximity to CMC, the experience of the emergency staff and Doherty's youth and excellent physical condition made the difference, the surgeon said.
Catania said bullets damaged Doherty's lower left leg, large and small intestine and bladder, and put a hole in the internal and common iliac veins where they are joined.
Without quick work, "He would have bled to death," said Catania, noting Doherty has had to undergo a number of subsequent surgeries.
Webster was arrested in the back yard of 145 Putnam St., after a police foot pursuit south on Rimmon and west through Putnam Street back yards.
Police testified the gun used to shoot Doherty was found at the base of a fence separating 141 and 145 Putnam, with the gun on the 141 side.
A black jacket that matched the jacket Webster was wearing in video surveillance at the Rite Aid store at McGregor Square shortly before the shooting was found in a trash barrel outside a shed at 145 Putnam St., next to the fence that surrounds the back yard.
Prosecutors said Doherty had responded to an undercover officer's report of a man who got out of a vehicle at the Amory Street traffic light at McGregor Square and headed west on foot, with what appeared to be a gun tucked in his waistband.
Doherty testified that he spotted a man matching that description and shouted to him to stop and show his hands.
Instead, Doherty testified, the man took off running and he followed, repeatedly telling the man to stop.
Doherty said he was within tackling distance when the man stopped, spun around and began firing. Doherty was able to return fire, but none of his 10 bullets struck the gunman. Webster was so close, Doherty said, that he is absolutely sure it was Webster who shot him.
Prosecutors presented as witnesses police, civilians, state forensic laboratory experts, and medical personnel in an effort to convince jurors that Webster was the man who fired 14 bullets at Doherty - four of them striking the apartment building on the corner - and leaving a trail of cartridge casings as he fled.
The defense argues Webster is the victim of mistaken identity and that police conducted their investigation in such a way as to ensure conviction of Webster, the man they had in custody.
The defense attorneys say police tainted witness identification by failing to show witnesses a photo array of possible suspects before releasing the photo of Webster and identifying him as the shooter. The photo appeared in the media the morning after the shooting.
Defense attorneys also argue there is no fingerprint or DNA evidence and police did not test Webster's hands for gunshot residue.
During a jury recess, before the defense presented its case, Smith sought to have charges dismissed, saying the state, represented by Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeffery Strelzin and Assistant Hillsborough County Attorney Karen Gorham, has not made its case. Abramson denied the defense motions.
The defense called only one witness, Manchester Police Sgt. Michael Biron, who said he was off duty but went in on his own after receiving a call about the shooting.
He was in the trauma area of the ER when he spoke with Doherty, Biron testified. "I asked him if he could remember anything," Biron said.
Defense attorney Caroline Smith asked Biron what Doherty said. "Hispanic male, heavyset, pony tail, black clothing. He shot me," said Biron.
The defense then rested.

The National Park Service is working to finalize a list of five to 10 parks for a pilot program on improved digital access.
The parks of Colorado aren't likely to be among the first test sites, because providing cell and wireless service in canyons and on mountains is both difficult and extremely expensive. While being able to phone for help after falling off a ledge is an attractive possibility, a proposal to erect a tower on the mesa overlooking Cliff Palace would not be well received. In those places, a wireless network might make a great deal of sense, but in such terrain, the technological challenges still loom large - which, of course, is why communication there is so difficult now.
The Park Service has no plans to attempt coverage of every inch of most parks. Some cover hundreds or even thousands of square miles, and visitation across most of that terrain is sparse. There, the goal would be to improve service to major roads and to places where visitors congregate. Some attractions managed by the park service, like national historic sites and battlefields, are tiny and often have adequate cell coverage from outside their boundaries.
Better electronic communications would enable visitors to summon a ranger in an emergency and be rescued more quickly, and they could receive alerts about flash floods, wildfires and road closures, or more prosaic issues like traffic jams caused by wildlife and gawkers. Each park could provide travelers with access to virtual trail maps as well as a collection of interpretive resources unavailable in the basic pamphlets available to pick up at the trailhead. That would reduce the number of paper newspapers and brochures that needed to be printed, and would allow instant updates.
Those are all positive improvements. What's not so positive is the possibility that park visitors will keep their eyes focused on their phones and never see or comprehend the natural wonders and the history around them, but human nature falls beyond the purview of the Park Service.
Concessionaires favor expanded cellphone and Internet service because their customers want it. Parents vacationing without their children don't want to be completely out of touch. Employers expect their workers to be available by phone or email, even on vacation. Travelers want to be able to make a reservation at the next stop on their trip. Some prospective park visitors may be less likely to come if they can't connect with the outside world at least once a day. Others simply have come to depend on their phones, tablets and laptops for communication and entertainment. That's fair, although not necessarily good.
Whether, and at what cost, the Park Service should cater to those demands to bring instant communication into the heart of the places it is charged to preserve is another question. That is far from the agency's primary mission.
Eventually, and probably not too far into the future, no part of the United States will remain beyond the reach of instant communication - which, in some places, will be too bad. But it's fair to expect that soon, technology will facilitate that communication with much less resource damage. In places where land lines have already been run, the environmental and archaeological harm done by running bigger lines may not be great, but soon we won't need land lines anywhere. There are places where cell towers should not be built, and the most pristine places left in the country are surely among them, especially as evidence mounts about the negative effects.
Pilot projects are fine, as is connecting the places where people gather, but let's not rush to bring phones and the Internet into the last quiet places we have.

The Milstein Family Hall of Ocean Life highlights the drama of the undersea world and its diverse and complex web of life in a fully immersive marine environment. The hall is home to one of the Museum's most celebrated displays—a 94-foot-long, 21,000-pound model of a blue whale suspended from the ceiling.
It was in the ocean about 3.5 billion years ago that the first life on Earth arose. Today, the planet's oceans are home to an amazing diversity of life in a wide range of habitats, from tropical coral reefs to the frigid polar seas. Still, many parts of the ocean are poorly known, and less than 5 percent of the deep ocean has been explored. For every new species, there may be hundreds more yet to be discovered.
The 29,000-square-foot hall features models of more than 750 sea creatures, ranging from tiny green bubble algae to computerized glowing jellyfishes. The hall also includes high-definition video projections, interactive computer stations, hands-on models, 14 classic dioramas, and eight ocean ecosystem displays that transport visitors from the profusion of life in the Indo-Pacific coral reefs to the bioluminescent fishes in the eerie darkness of the deep sea.
Hall Highlights
The Giant Blue Whale Model
At 94 feet long, the fiberglass replica of a female blue whale is a Museum treasure. Blue whales have been hunted to near extinction. Today, the Museum's blue whale serves as a reminder of our responsibility to our environment, both on land and in the sea.
Andros Island Barrier Reef
Off Andros Island in the Caribbean, corals form one of the largest barrier reefs in the world. Andros is created by colonies of small, soft-bodied coral polyps whose hard skeletons form much of the structure of a reef.
Sperm Whale and Giant Squid
The squid and whale diorama depicts a sperm whale clashing with its prey, a giant squid. The giant squid had never been seen in its natural habitat until 2005, when researchers got footage of an adult giant squid in the wild.
The walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) is known for its ivory tusks. By hooking these tusks into ice floes, walruses haul themselves out of the water. These teeth are also displayed to intimidate and used to joust for territory.
Whale Shark
Don't be fooled by the "whale" in this animal's common name: that's a nod to the size of this species of shark. Sharks are not mammals, like whales, but are a group of fishes. Whale sharks, which can grow to more than 40 feet in length, are the world's largest living fish.
Dolphin and Tuna Diorama
Did you know that dolphins—along with porpoises—are whales? In fact, the killer whale is the largest dolphin! Like other mammals, dolphins give birth to live young and breathe air, surfacing regularly to breathe through the blowhole on the top of their heads.

Hudson police: Bullet through window was stray from target practice
March 26. 2013 12:19AM
HUDSON - A bullet fired into a window at a Breakneck Road residence was a stray bullet from a nearby area used for target practice, police said.
Police said the bullet hit the home, and lodged into glass, shortly before 6 p.m. Monday. Police said the bullet was fired from an area near power lines behind Breakneck Road.
There is a 300-foot "buffer zone" away from residences when firing weapons, police said. Anyone with information of who was firing a gun near Breakneck Road on Monday is asked to call police at 886-6011.

Though it had contemplated renovating a space in Berkeley Heights that it has occupied for more than 10 years, Massachusetts-based information technology firm EMC Corp. decided to ink a long-term lease a few miles away to become the first tenant of a newly improved office complex in Warren.
"We bought the property a year ago at an attractive basis, mostly on the fact that it had an expiring loan, the building was 100 percent vacant and it needed a full redevelopment program," said Paul H. Teti, senior vice president of Normandy Real Estate Partners, which owns the 372,000-square-foot complex. "Now, no other building in the market can match this property's location, infrastructure and efficient floor plan with amenities all under one roof."
Dennis Gralla, a principal of the northern and central New Jersey branch of real estate firm Cresa LLC, which represented EMC in the transaction, said the technology company was "on a search for several months in the Berkeley Heights area, and this building just made sense to them, because the new infrastructure created at this property just works great for them."
"Normally, a client this big in a lot of buildings in this area would have to be located on several floors, which for an IT company creates a lot of duplication of infrastructure that doesn't have to happen in this building," Gralla said, noting EMC will occupy 81,500 square feet of space on a single floor.
To attract companies like EMC to the building, Normandy laid out a $12 million capital expenditure program, recently complete, to make class A-type improvements that included installing a cafeteria, fitness center and conference center; expanding the lobby; resurfacing parking lots and entry roads; and bringing the property up to the LEED Silver environmental standard.
In a statement, Raymond P. Trevisan, the Cassidy Turley New Jersey managing principal who represented Normandy in the lease, said "Normandy's reinvestment in Center 78 transforms the site into a standout showcase in Warren that readily meets the needs of tenants seeking best-in-class, energy-efficient space options."
With EMC set to occupy more than 20 percent of the building, Teti said Normandy is seeking tenants for the remaining space who are "looking to become more efficient and want to feel like they have a whole building to themselves," though he noted "that's really the direction we're seeing a lot of corporate tenants wanting to go."

State your topic idea as a question. For example, if you are interested in finding out about Title IX (Title Nine) and women athletes in college athletic programs, you might pose the question, "How did Title IX impact women athletes in college athletic programs?"
Identify the main concepts or keywords in your question. These are potential search terms. In this case they are "title ix," "women," "athletes," and "college athletic programs".
Before you commit to a specific topic for your research, do a scan to make sure that your topic isn't completely covered in another paper; at the same time ensure that there is enough information available to complete the project. This can be particularly important if you are planning on using data in your research. If in doubt, ask your professor.
If you are finding too much information and too many sources, narrow your topic. For example: "women and athletes and college and athletics".
Finding too little information may indicate that you need to broaden your topic by using a more general term or terms in your search.
Once you have identified the main topic and keywords for your research, find one or more sources of background information to read.

Trial of man charged with strangling UNH sophmore may still be a year awayBy Gretyl Macalaster
Union Leader Correspondent
June 26. 2013 11:34AM
DOVER - The attorneys for murder suspect Seth Mazzaglia, 30, of Dover are ready to take their case to trial in January, but a full plate for the New Hampshire Attorney General's office has prosecutors seeking a trial date in June 2014.
Both sides were in Strafford County Superior Court on Tuesday for a preliminary pre-trial conference in the murder case against Mazzaglia to try and set a schedule for trial.
In April, a grand jury indicted Mazzaglia on two counts of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder, alleging he strangled and/or suffocated Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott, 19, in his apartment on Oct. 9 before, during or after committing felonious sexual assault. He is facing a fourth count of hindering apprehension and/or prosecution.
He claims to have dumped the University of New Hampshire sophomore's body in the waters off the Piscataqua River later that night. Months of searching have failed to recover Marriott's body.
Mazzaglia's girlfriend, Kathryn "Kat" McDonough, 19, of Portsmouth also is facing charges of hindering apprehension and/or prosecution and tampering with a witness out of Rockingham County.
In court on Wednesday in an orange jumpsuit, Mazzaglia did not speak during the short hearing, and turned around only once to see who was in the courtroom.
The two sides are due back in court on July 31 to further set the trial schedule.
When asked after the hearing if they were concerned about their client's right to a speedy trial, defense attorney Joachim Barth said "no, we just want to try this case."
Prosecuting attorney Peter Hinckley with the attorney general's office said their concern is conflicts with other already scheduled murder trials, of which he said there are five.
After the hearing he said he had one trial in January in the northern part of the state that directly conflicts with the defense's proposed date, but could not speak for co-prosecuting attorney Geoff Ward.
"We just have some issues in terms of we have other cases we need to try, that are already scheduled for trial, murder cases as well," Hinckley said.
He said it is also not a matter of the state attorney general's office being stretched too thin.
"No, it's not a matter of being stretched too thin, it's a matter of other cases being scheduled," Hinckley said.
Judge John Lewis did agree to a number of deadlines laid out in the state's proposed schedule that were also amenable to the defense.
Hinckley told the court they have turned over most discovery to the defense already, but there is still some forensic testing they do not have access to.
He would not clarify what forensic testing they are waiting on when asked after the hearing.
Both sides anticipate jury selection taking about one week and the trial about a week and a half once it begins.

An investment in the Funds involves risk, including possible loss of principal. The principal risks of investing in Funds include equity, market, management and non-diversification risks. The market value of a security or instrument may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally.
Other risks include:
Micro-, Small- and Medium-Sized Company Risk: Investing in the securities of micro-, small- and medium-sized companies generally will be more volatile, and loss of principal could be greater than investing in the securities of larger, more established companies. Dividend Investment Risk: Dividends are not guaranteed. A company's future abilities to pay dividends may be limited and a company may cease paying dividends at any time. Indirect Foreign Exposure Risk: Investments in foreign companies are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations, social, economic, and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. Fixed Income Risks: Fixed income funds are subject to additional risk in that they may invest in high-yield/high-risk bonds and may be subject to greater levels of liquidity risk. Additionally, investing in bonds entails interest rate risk and credit risk. Municipal Securities Risk: Municipal bond fund income may be subject to state and local income taxes and the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, will be subject to capital gains tax. Investments in municipal bonds are subject to interest rate risk, or the risk that the bonds will decline in value because of changes in market interest rates. Municipal bonds are also subject to call risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, below investment grade securities risk, and interest rate futures risk. Single-State Investment Risk: A fund that invests primarily in instruments issued by or on behalf of one state will generally be more volatile and loss of principal could be greater due to state specific risk. Please refer to the prospectus for each fund's specific risks. Foreign investment and Emerging Markets risk: Foreign investments can be riskier than U.S. investments. Potential risks include adverse political and legal developments affecting issuers located and/or doing business in foreign countries, currency risk that may result from unfavorable exchange rates, liquidity risk if decreased demand for a security makes it difficult to sell at the desired price, and risks that stem from substantially lower trading volume on foreign markets. These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets, which are also subject to greater price volatility, and custodial and regulatory risks.
Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund(s) carefully before investing. To obtain a prospectus, which contains this and other important information about the Fund(s), is available . Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Casino money: Robbing Peter to pay Paul
Gov. Hassan pushes casino plan in State of the State address
New Hampshire needs a casino, we are constantly told, so the state will have enough revenue to fund all the great things politicians want to fund. Have you ever stopped to wonder where all of that money will come from?
Casino backers claim that flatlanders will flock to New Hampshire to play in the glorious gaming palaces. From where will they flock? Massachusetts? That state is getting three of its own casinos and one slot-machine parlor. It will have one casino in each region of the state, including a big one in or near Boston. Why would any Bay Stater come to New Hampshire to gamble once those casinos (approved by law in 2011) are built?
Vermont has less than half of New Hampshire's population, and Maine's is roughly equivalent to New Hampshire's. Both of those states have median incomes that are more than $10,000 lower than New Hampshire's. We are going to count on hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue from the handful of our poorer eastern and western neighbors who are willing to drive here on the weekends to play slots and roulette?
No, the bulk of the money will come from Granite Staters. Casino backers acknowledge this when they talk of casinos retaining the money Granite Staters already spend at casinos in Connecticut.
That is why organizations like the New Hampshire Lodging and Restaurant Association oppose expanded gambling. The NHLRA board overwhelmingly opposes casinos, noting that "casino gambling revenues will come at the expense of other recreational activities in our seacoast, lakes and mountains throughout the state. This will lead to reductions in rooms and meals taxes and losses in retail expenditures," NHLRA chairman Joel Bourassa wrote to the group's members last week.
Bingo. Casinos would rob Peter to pay Paul. In New Hampshire's case, Peter represents restaurants, bars, entertainment venues and charities that benefit from the existing small-scale charitable gaming operations. Paul represents billionaire casino owners and the state. That is not a good trade off.

Subsea engineering raises many challenges, especially those issues relating to system integrity and flow assurance. The role of engineering simulation is becoming more important during both field development and operation. This has created increased requirements for detailed analysis, combining complex systems and physics such as multiphase flow, solids management and flow-induced motions.
Ongoing development in software technology and reduced hardware costs means 3D simulation of a wide range of subsea and flow assurance applications is increasingly feasible and adding significant value.
This educational webcast covers the impact of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation and provides application examples of where CFD is being used today for subsea engineering and flow assurance. Case studies provide background information regarding validation and guidance on modeling approaches.
Applications covered in the seminar include:
This webcast is aimed at anyone involved or interested in the subsea industry, whether they are focused on engineering design, already using engineering simulation or managing projects and engineers.
STAR-CCM+ is used to provide a short introductory demonstration of the commercial CFD tool.

[session] Enterprise Cloud Adoption | @CloudExpo @DivvyCloud #AI #DevOps
Take control of your cloud with self-healing infrastructure while realizing the promised agility, speed & cost benefits of cloud
By: Elizabeth White
Jun. 6, 2017 03:45 AM
Best Practices for Enterprise Cloud Adoption - How Cloud Infrastructure Automation Delivers the Agility, Speed and Cost Benefits
This talk centers around how to automate best practices in a multi-/hybrid-cloud world based on our work with customers like GE, Discovery Communications and Fannie Mae. Today's enterprises are reaping the benefits of cloud computing, but also discovering many risks and challenges. In the age of DevOps and the decentralization of IT, it's easy to over-provision resources, forget that instances are running, or unintentionally expose vulnerabilities.
In his session at 20th Cloud Expo, Jeremy Snyder, VP of Business Development at DivvyCloud, will discuss the approaches to take control of your cloud with self-healing infrastructure, while realizing the promised agility, speed and cost benefits of the cloud.
Speaker Bio
@DevOpsSummit at Cloud Expo taking place June 6-8, 2017, at Javits Center, New York City, and is co-located with the 20th International Cloud Expo and will feature technical sessions from a rock star conference faculty and the leading industry players in the world.

The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in enterprise IT. Now as never before, development teams must communicate and collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment. There is no time to wait for long development cycles that produce software that is obsolete at launch. DevOps may be disruptive, but it is essential.
@DevOpsSummit will expand the DevOps community, enable a wide sharing of knowledge, and educate delegates and technology providers alike. Recent research has shown that DevOps dramatically reduces development time, the amount of enterprise IT professionals put out fires, and support time generally. Time spent on infrastructure development is significantly increased, and DevOps practitioners report more software releases and higher quality.

What do you get when you combine Big Data technologies….like Pig and Hive? A flying pig? No, you get a "Logical Data Warehouse." In 2012, Infochimps (now CSC) leveraged its early use of stream processing, NoSQLs, and Hadoop to create a design pattern which combined real-time, ad-hoc, and batch analytics. This concept of combining the best-in-breed Big Data technologies will continue to advance across the industry until the entire legacy (and proprietary) data infrastructure stack will be replaced with a new (and open) one.

While unprecedented technological advances have been made in healthcare in areas such as genomics, digital imaging and Health Information Systems, access to this information has been not been easy for both the healthcare provider and the patient themselves. Regulatory compliance and controls, information lock-in in proprietary Electronic Health Record systems and security concerns have made it difficult to share data across health care providers.

It's a simple fact that the better sales reps understand their prospects' intentions, preferences and pain points during calls, the more business they'll close. Each day, as your prospects interact with websites and social media platforms, their behavioral data profile is expanding. It's now possible to gain unprecedented insight into prospects' content preferences, product needs and budget. We hear a lot about how valuable Big Data is to sales and marketing teams. But data itself is only valuable when it's part of a bigger story, made visible in the right context.

Everyone talks about a cloud-first or mobile-first strategy. It's the trend du jour, and for good reason as these innovative technologies have revolutionized an industry and made savvy companies a lot of money. But consider for a minute what's emerging with the Age of Context and the Internet of Things. Devices, interfaces, everyday objects are becoming endowed with computing smarts. This is creating an unprecedented focus on the Application Programming Interface (API) as developers seek to connect these devices and interfaces to create new supporting services and hybrids. I call this trend the move toward an API-first business model and strategy.

We live in a world that requires us to compete on our differential use of time and information, yet only a fraction of information workers today have access to the analytical capabilities they need to make better decisions. Now, with the advent of a new generation of embedded business intelligence (BI) platforms, cloud developers are disrupting the world of analytics. They are using these new BI platforms to inject more intelligence into the applications business people use every day. As a result, data-driven decision-making is finally on track to become the rule, not the exception.

Snow could impact travel on the Grapevine as storm passes through. There's another chance of rain coming over the weeked
Rain is likely by midweek in the Taft area, but it doesn't look like we'll be seeing very much of the wet stuff.
The National Weather Service is predicting a 60 percent chance of showers by midday Wednesday continuing through the evening hours.
The chance of showers tapers off to 40 percent on Thursday.
No more than two-tenths of an inch is likely, however, the NWS said.
The seasonably cool weather is going to cool even more later in the week with highs Tuesday reaching the upper 60s before dropping off 10 degrees with the clouds and rain coming in Wednesday.
The cooler weather is going to bring the snow level in the south end of the valley down to 4,000 feet, so travel on the Grapevine and through Tehachapi pass on Highway 58 could be impacted.
Overnight lows will drop into the low 40s.
After a break in the weather Friday and Saturday, another system will bring a chance of rain Saturday night into Sunday.

"Come," he said, sweeping through the door to where Miss Janice Pearce sat glaring at a pencil, "let us go. Let us leave this festering hellhole. Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not in fact eff it after all." -- "Dirk Gently", "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency", by Douglas Adams.

Tuesday, January 03, 2012 - Dima and Honza - FULL CONTACT
Dima and Honza - FULL CONTACT
We paired the lovely Dima Lukin with the handsome Honza Copak for a really good duo. Both are very handsome guys and have proved themselves before so I was sure they would do well together. Things get started with Dima reclining and eating an apple, his balls peeping out from his toga. Then, as the camera pulls out we see that he is watching Honza, similarly dressed, playing with his dick. Honza joins Dima on the couch and shares his apple as he rubs his leg. Then they start to kiss, with Dima working his way down Honza's massive chest and quickly sucking on his big, fat cock. He really knows how to suck and his mouth works up and down Honza's thick shaft, making it throb as he sucks it. Then it is Honza's turn to suck and he takes Dima's solid dick in his mouth sucking it real well. He then stands and places each foot, in turn, on Dima's chest allowing him to remove his footwear. Honza rubs his foot over Dima's chest as Dima feels those hairy legs. Then the guys move into a 69 and start sucking again. Dima loves cock and his tongue swirls all over Honza's. Honza is feeling so horny, he just has to have a taste of Dima's ass and gets down for some rimming. Soon Dima is ready for more, with his ass just wanting to be filled. HOnza lays on the couch and Dima gets on top and slides his hot hole right down, over Honza's throbbing dick. He rides that cock so well , sliding up and down on that rock hard pole. If Dima is a hot sucker he is also a wonderful bottom as he fucks himself onto Honza's solid dick. It really gets Honza going and he starts to fuck up into that hot ass. Honza wants more and Dima moves into a doggy position for more fucking. Honza pounds that ass, with his big, fat cock, with Dima pushing his hard cock back between his legs. He really stays hard while his ass is being fucked deep and hard. Dima turns onto his back and gets another pounding from that cock. Honza is a get top and really throws a great fuck into Dima's hole. He fucks him so well that Dima cant help it, he shoots his load while that cock is deep in his ass. That sets Honza off too and he moves and quickly dumps a huge, creamy load over Dima's face, with Dima sticking his tongue out to slurp at the spent cock. Honza then lowers himself down onto Dima's chest to rest after his exertions, bringing a really wonderful scene to a close. Two really hot guys, who certainly know what they like going at it for us, what a great scene.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Rudy Bodlak is a great looking guy who we did a Broke Czech Boys shoot with, which also featured his friend. He was so good in that and readily agreed to more work, so the very next day we had him into the studio again, for this Screentest, with Paul Fresh. After a brief interview Rudy shows us just how ready he is by getting into kissing with Paul and feeling his body. They kiss each other and very quickly their hands move to the other's groin. Paul dips his hand into Rudy's underwear. Rudy takes the hint and does the same to Paul. The guys remove their underwear and start to kiss again. Then Paul leads, by taking hold of both cocks and starting to wank them. Then he leans over and starts to suck on Rudy's cock. He doesn't get an immediate reaction from his sucking so Rudy reciprocates and Paul's dick rapdily gets very hard. Rudy clearly wants to do a good job, as he sucks and wanks very well. Paul then holds Rudy's head and fucks his cock into his mouth, while wanking himself. His cock has grown so Paul starts to suck it again, this time getting a much better response. That cock is very hard now as Paul sucks on it and licks all up and down the shaft. Then he lifts Rudy's legs in the air and rims his ass. He laps at that tight hole and, spitting on it, starts to finger it. Then it is time for the big test, Paul gets Rudy on his knees and slides his dick into that hole and starts to fuck him. Rudy is really feeling it as that big cock fucks in and out, going nice and deep, but he takes it without complaint. Paul fucks that ass hard and fast and then changes position, with Rudy's ass high in the air and Paul fucking him again. Rudy moans a lot as that dick slams into his tight ass, then Paul pulls out and examines a nice open hole. He then lays on the bed and Rudy sits down on that big, throbbing dick. He fucks himself onto that cock and rides it before Paul holds him still and fucks upwards. Paul is soon ready to pop his load and moves to Rudy's open mouth and shoots his load into it and over his face. Rudy then takes the cock in his mouth again to clean it off. Paul bends to kiss Rudy's cum infused mouth and then lays his head on Rudy's stomach to receive his load. Rudy shoots a very nice load and Paul sucks his cock dry before kissing him again, ending a really good Screentest, where Rudy proved his worth as a bottom. He will surely be back for more. Next up for him should be a Wank Party.

WASHINGTON — Congressional farm leaders are trying to come up with a draft farm bill compromise between the House and the Senate by Nov. 22 just as lower prices for corn and other commodities are intensifying the need for an updated farm safety net.
"This is the deadline week" House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., told the Capital Press on Nov. 19, the same day Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., said she hopes a "framework" can be released "by the end of the week or very shortly thereafter."
If Congress does not finish a new farm bill by Dec. 3, the country will face higher dairy prices in 2014, just as it did last year when Congress included a one-year extension of the farm bill in what became known as the "fiscal cliff" legislation. The House-Senate conference committee needs to finalize the bill quickly so that each chamber can consider the conference report in December and, if passed, it could go to President Barack Obama for his signature.
Both Lucas and Stabenow were cautious about their prospects.
"We're in the middle of everything," Stabenow said. "One thing depends on another. It's a big Rubik's Cube."
Lucas noted that the conferees do not have "a common number" on cutting the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, better known as SNAP or food stamps. Lucas noted that the Senate-passed bill cuts only $4 billion and that the House bill would cut $39 billion.
"We've got to have real progress," said Lucas, but in a possible sign of movement Lucas had a 20 minute discussion with Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Conn., a strong anti-hunger advocate, on the House floor on Nov. 19 during a vote on an unrelated matter.
Lucas also said that the conferees "have had some pretty thorough discussions of all parts of the farm bill."
The only subject that conferees have not discussed, Lucas said, is the proposal to make changes to country-of-origin labeling (COOL) for red meat. Lucas said he believes that discussion will be left for a public meeting of conferees.
Lucas and Stabenow talked to the press only a few days after the Environmental Protection Agency announced that it is proposing to lower the volumetric requirements for biofuels in 2014 under the Renewable Fuel Standard. That decision plus a big crop caused corn prices to drop, but Lucas said the bright side of that situation is that it might cause farm groups to compromise on the commodity title of the bill.
The core of the Senate farm bill commodity title is a program favored by corn and soybean growers that would pay for what they call "shallow losses" not covered by crop insurance while the House bill's core is a target price-based program favored by rice and peanut growers and advocates who believe that the value of the Senate bill will decline over time if prices are low because the base for the payments will decline along with market prices.
The differences in approach would also affect which region of the country gets most of those payments.
Also controversial is whether payments would be made on farmers' historic base acreage or current planted acreage. Advocates of free trade say that using planted acreage could bring charges in the World Trade Organization that the United States is encouraging production of specific commodities. But other farm leaders say that making payments on historic base acreage is indefensible to the American public.
The American Soybean Association, the National Corn Growers Association and the U.S. Canola Association on Nov. 19 proposed a compromise using the average of planted acres during the five years previous to the current year as the payment base for both the revenue and the price programs.
"The average would move forward, adding and dropping a year every year, in order to remain as current as possible without including the current year, which would serve as a deterrent to building base," the groups wrote.
The possibility that lower prices may lead to higher subsidies has also increased farmer resistance to the farm subsidy payment limit provisions that are in both the House and Senate bills.
Both versions of the farm bill would allow a single person up to $75,000 in marketing-loan gains and up to $50,000 in payments through whatever commodity programs are in the bill. The payment cap for a married couple would be double.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, an advocate of payment limitations, said that the battle is likely to be fought over the definition of who is "actively engaged" in farming and eligible for subsidies. If fewer people are eligible for subsidies, then a farm operation would get less in subsidies.
Southern farmers, particularly rice growers with large operations, are fighting the hardest to avoid the tougher limits.
The new bill also contains changes to conservation programs and programs to benefit fruit and vegetable growers and farmers' markets but the differences between the House and the Senate on most of those issues is not as big as in the commodity programs.

text: Country Radio Central to CMA's Mission of Advancing the Format Scott Frans February 27, 2013 CMA Member Benefits for Radio Include Research, Sales Tools, Access to Affordable Healthcare, Application for CMA Broadcast Station and Personality of the Year Awards, Credentials to Cover CMA Music Festival, the Ability to Vote and Purchase Tickets for Country Music's Biggest Night – The CMA Awards, and More! NASHVILLE – CMA was created in 1958 to support Country radio and that mission is just as important today as CMA presented a compelling consumer research panel during CRS 2013, the annual gathering of Country radio professionals from across the country. The Country Music Association was created in response to Country radio stations flipping formats due to the skyrocketing popularity of Elvis Presley. The founding members of CMA recognized that to stem the rising rock tide, every segment of the industry would have to work together on ideas and solutions that would propel the format forward. To this day, CMA represents every facet of the industry with a large constituency group from radio. "Engaging and retaining these valuable members is important to CMA," said Steve Moore, CMA Chief Executive Officer. "Our staff is always developing benefits that are useful to our radio members and CRS is the perfect platform to reinforce our commitment to radio." CMA excels at speaking directly to the Country Music consumer through the CMA Insider Fan Panel, which includes more than 13,000 fans recruited from various industry and consumer sources. The composition of the panel includes adults from all demographic groups. Survey results of this panel research are not projectable to the overall U.S. population. In the past year, CMA has released research findings on numerous topics including Country consumers' use of financial services, telecommunications, dining patterns, automotive, holiday spending habits, and more. CMA's Music on the Move: Inside the Drive toward Mobile Music Consumption session during CRS brought a live Nashville radio listener panel of eight men and women, ages 18-49 to the stage at the Nashville Convention Center. These participants recruited from the local market are avid Country Music consumers, who in addition to traditional radio, listen to music via online sources, such as iheartradio, Pandora, or radio station streaming. Attendees heard directly from them how and why they have adopted today's online music listening tools for use along with traditional radio listening. Some key learnings from the panel: Mobile technology is indeed helping listeners take their music everywhere as they listen at home, at work, on the job, and even in their cars. While not abandoning traditional radio, streaming and mobile apps deliver on key consumer requirements. While freedom of location is a key benefit, the panelists revealed a more engaging benefit is personalizing music to match their own preferences and variety. This personalization enables their listening to embrace a wider variety of songs and artists. Most panelists want a listening experience that spans the format from traditional, current, and rising Country artists. The panelists said they are not getting enough of the legacy and up-and-coming artists on traditional radio. With mobile apps and streaming, they can control what they listen to, not only where they listen. Common features of today's apps such as "like" and tagging, along with pre-programmed playlists of similar artists and songs, seem to be strong aids in the discovery of new music with users. While mobile provides a unique method for music customization, it's also supporting their listening of favorite Country stations when listeners leave the area. Now their take their favorite stations with them. Research is an important member benefit, but CMA has several programs and initiatives for the radio industry including CMA Instrumental Healthcare; the ability to apply for CMA Broadcast Station and Personality of the Year Awards; media credentials to cover CMA Music Festival and access to the industry suite for the nightly concerts at LP Field; online content; promotional opportunities; CMA Close Up magazine and the weekly news service with free Web content; the ability to vote and purchase tickets for Country Music's Biggest Night™ – the CMA Awards; and more! "Obviously the strength and vitality of Country radio has a direct influence on the industry," said Moore. "Country radio stations and broadcast professionals do an outstanding job of broadening the scope of Country Music and presenting artists to their listeners – expanding the careers of established artists; creating and developing awareness of new talent; and delivering music directly to the fans that support our business." CMA's research reports are a benefit of CMA membership. Findings are available on CMA's members-only website at My.CMAworld.com/Research. For information about becoming a member of CMA, please visit CMAworld.com/membership, or contact CMA's Membership Department at email@example.com or (800) 788-3045. About CMA: Founded in 1958, the Country Music Association was the first trade organization formed to promote a type of music. In 1961, CMA created the Country Music Hall of Fame to recognize artists and industry professionals with Country Music's highest honor. More than 11,000 music industry professionals and companies from around the globe are members of CMA. The organization's objectives are to serve as an educational and professional resource for the industry and advance the growth of Country Music around the world. This is accomplished through CMA's core initiatives: the CMA Awards, which annually recognize outstanding achievement in the industry; the CMA Music Festival, which benefits music education and is taped for a three-hour special; and "CMA Country Christmas," featuring Country artists performing original music and Christmas classics for broadcast during the holiday season. All of CMA's television properties will air on the ABC Television network through 2021. Chevrolet™ is the Official Ride of Country Music. Pepsi is the Official Beverage Partner of the Country Music Association.

NH College Notebook: Dartmouth College baseball team eyes Ivy League crown
April 21. 2013 1:14AM
The Dartmouth College baseball team and Joe Purritano, a freshman out of Woodcliff Lake, N.J. and Dom Bosco Prep in particular, have been on quite a tear as they near the end of the regular season.
Purritano, who has been the team's designated hitter, last week was named the Ivy League Rookie and Player of the Week and also pulled down honors as one of five Louisville Sluggers National Players of the Week.
All he did was go 10-for-19 combined in a game against Holy Cross and four against Brown. Purritano had four home runs, two doubles, a triple and 11 runs batted in during that stretch. He was batting .343 going into this weekend's four games at Yale.
Dartmouth won all five games against Holy Cross and Brown and added a sixth straight win with a 12-2 decision over St. Anselm on Wednesday.
The Big Green went into this weekend with an overall record of 23-6 and an Ivy mark of 8-4.
After Yale, Dartmouth has only six games remaining. Quinnipiac is in to play on Wednesday afternoon. Dartmouth plays a doubleheader at home against Harvard on Saturday and then has two at Harvard on Sunday to wrap up the Ivy season.
The Big Green have won the Red Rolfe Division of the Ivy League the last five seasons and has two Ivy championships in that span. The last came in 2010. Princeton beat Dartmouth for the championship in 2011 and Columbia knocked off the Big Green last year.
Bob Whalen's team held a large edge in the Red Rolfe standings over Yale and Harvard going into this weekend.
Columbia and Princeton were tied atop the Lou Gehrig Division.
The winners of the Red Rolfe and Lou Gehrig divisions play a best-of-three series on May 4 and 5 to determine the Ivy champion. The games will be played at the home field of the division winner with the best record.

With a hat trick and 27 points from fullback Madison Hughes, Dartmouth downed Brown 32-3 at home, claiming its sixth consecutive Ivy Rugby Championship last week.
Next weekend, the Big Green travels to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md., for the first round of the inaugural Varsity Cup, a competition between eight of America's top collegiate rugby programs. The Eastern Superregional will open with a match between the California Golden Bears and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, with the Big Green facing the Midshipmen to complete the doubleheader. The victors of the two matches will take on each other, to be hosted by the higher seed.

The Little East Conference announced that for the second straight week University of Southern Maine senior outfielder Tucker White of Deerfield, N.H., has been named its Player of Week.
White went 14-for-22 (.636) with 10 extra base hits and 12 RBI to help the Huskies go 5-0 this past week. White hit his fifth and sixth triples of the season to extend his USM career-leading mark to 24. He also added seven doubles and a home run to post a 1.273 slugging percentage.
Against Colby, White was 5-for-5, including three doubles to tie the school single-game record, and four RBI in a 16-3 win. The next day at Husson, White was 3-for-6 with two doubles, a home run and five RBI. On Saturday, White went 4-for-8 with an RBI and three runs scored as the Huskies swept Rhode Island College in a LEC doubleheader. White had at least two hits in all five games this past week.
The Huskies' offensive leader, White is hitting a team-high .490 with five home runs, 33 RBI, six triples, and is tied for the team lead in doubles (10). He is also the team leader in stolen bases with 23 in 23 chances so far this spring.

Southern New Hampshire University senior Alena Mukdaprakorn, of the women's tennis team was named the Northeast-10 Conference Vern Cox Player of the Year for the second straight year, while sixth-year head coach Greg Coache repeated as the conference's Coach of the Year as announced by league offices Monday afternoon.
The Penmen also had a total of five players selected on the All-Conference teams in singles as well as doubles. Mukdaprakorn, sophomore Diana Vamvakitis and freshman Yolanda Green were all named to First Team Singles All-Conference, while senior Amanda Albuquerque was named to Second Team Singles All-Conference.
Mukdaprakorn and Vamvakitis also earned a spot on the First Team Doubles All-Conference along with Jamie Hann and Kirsten Jean of Bedford.
