$1.3 million offered for old Manchester police station; developer considers options

MANCHESTER — A Massachusetts developer has put down a deposit to buy the former Manchester police station and is considering converting it into many different uses, including live-work lifestyle apartments for students and entrepreneurs, according to people familiar with the project.
On Sept. 13, the city signed an agreement that calls for selling the 38-year-old building for $1.3 million to The Grossman Companies, a Quincy-based real-estate holding and development company. The price is significantly less than the $2.1 million the city was asking.
"It's what I told people it would sell for," Mayor Ted Gatsas said Wednesday. "I told them they'd never get $2 million for it."
He said he was excited about the potential sale, but cautioned the deal still must close.
The Grossman Companies is about half-way through a 120-day period that allows the firm to investigate the property and decide whether to move forward. More time is allowed for permitting; the purchase-and-sale agreement calls for the deal to be finalized by Aug. 30, 2014, if not sooner.
The Manchester real-estate agent representing Grossman said the company is trying to determine if enough demand exists to convert the building to student housing.
If so, Michael Harrington said the building could end up housing students or even becoming a creative space where entrepreneurs could live and work.
"It's like a bunker right now," Harrington said. "You could re-skin the building and turn it into something much more hip and fun."
A short video rendition of the possible recreation is on Harrington's website — www.harringtonandcompany.com. It shows a liberal use of windows, bump-outs and a glass-paneled entrance lobby.
Harrington stressed that the due diligence period, which gives the buyer time to investigate the property, is still in place, and nothing has been decided.
The building was vacated earlier this year, when police moved into a larger police station on Valley Street. The vacated steel-frame building is nearly 46,000 square feet, according to its listing. It has two elevators and 20 on-site parking spots, the listing said.
It also has 14 jail cells on its first floor, and a basement-level garage and shooting range.
The sale is being handled by Stebbins Commercial Properties. Stebbins President Michael Reed said the city must address several issues: Amoskeag Industries must relinquish any claim to the property it may have under a 19th-century deed; the city must decide if it needs to maintain a walkway between the fire station and the police station; and guy wires holding up a communications antenna are on the police station property.
Reed estimated that The Grossman Companies will have to invest $1.5 million to $2 million to remodel the building.
He said other potential uses include a restaurant and offices. The secure areas in the basement could prove attractive to a security company such as Brinks, he said.
Reed said Grossman is familiar with Manchester. Decades ago, it acquired the Daily Mirror and Harrington-Smith buildings on Hanover Street and rehabilitated them.
"I really think they have a genuine interest in improving their communities," Reed said.
The Harrington-Smith building now houses the Opera Block apartments; the Daily Mirror is an office building. The Grossman Companies eventually sold to a local property-management company.

The Eagles are down another receiver.
DeSean Jackson missed Thursday's practice with a hamstring strain, according to the team.
The Eagles wide receiver injured his hamstring during Wednesday's practice and was seen walking around afterward with a large wrap of ice on his left leg. He had no comment after Thursday's practice.
Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin did not practice either Wednesday or Thursday because of a hip pointer. He suffered his injury in the season opener at the Browns.
Maclin's and Jackson's status for Sunday's game against the Ravens is uncertain, although Jackson's injury is not believed to be as serious.
The Eagles signed Mardy Gilyard on Tuesday after Maclin's injury. The team is currently thin at receiver with Riley Cooper also out with a broken collarbone. Cooper returned to practice on Wednesday for the first time since his injury in late July but was held out Thursday.
If Maclin can't play Sunday, rookie Damaris Johnson could start in his place. The Eagles also have veteran slot receiver Jason Avant as an option, as well as Gilyard.
Cornerback Curtis Marsh was limited with a hamstring injury.

Though John Stevens didn't confirm his availability, Jake Muzzin will be expected to make his return to the LA Kings lineup for tonight's critical Game 3 against a Vegas Golden Knights team that has a two-to-nothing lead in the teams' best-of-seven first round series.
Muzzin hasn't played since suffering an upper-body injury during Los Angeles' 3-0 win over Calgary on March 26. He etched out perhaps his finest individual season as a pro, posting eight goals and a career-high 42 points in 74 games and leading team regulars with a 52.9% Corsi-for percentage.
"I think he's really close. I think he's going to be a game-time decision," Stevens said. "But we were just joking there – Muzz, he's begging to stop getting a conditioned skate every day, so we we thought we'd get him in a regular rotation today. He's working really hard. I think he's close, so we'll see. I haven't talked to the trainer yet, but I'll make sure to talk to him and see where he's at, and then we'll go from there."
Muzzin skated to the left of Drew Doughty, who did not play in Game 2 due to an NHL-imposed suspension for an illegal check to the head of Golden Knights forward William Carrier in Game 1. Though Doughty had skated primarily with Derek Forbort (who remains out with a lower-body injury) in the second half of the season and Muzzin with Christian Folin, their reunion would reprise a partnership that provided excellent minutes during the Kings' Stanley Cup run of 2014. Again, Stevens did not confirm Muzzin's place in the lineup, but he did confirm that he has been cleared for contact, and Muzzin indicated he'd play Sunday night.
"Yeah it's been a long time," he said. "I'm excited. You know, it's tough to watch, … but I'm excited to get back in and try and help the guys win."

John Stevens, on the potential of having Drew Doughty and Jake Muzzin back for Game 3: I thought we had some guys come in and really step up big. I think oscar's come in and done a really good job. But with Drew in your lineup, you've got a guy that plays big minutes in all situations that can really control the pace of the game, and I think beyond Drew as a player, he's one of the leaders on our hockey team. The amount that he's grown as a leader on our team has far surpassed his improvement as a player, and I think that's been huge for our team. I've said this many times; he's the most competitive guy that I think I've ever seen. To add that back to your lineup for us is just good for the group.

Els: East Stadium Elevates NUs Recruiting
Randy York's N-Sider
Friday afternoon's UNL press release announcing the University of Nebraska's Board of Regents' unanimous approval for a new Research Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior did not and should not have included a single reference to Nebraska football. But make no mistake. That simple statement fairly reverberates as Nebraska's newest and most unique influencer for football recruiting, at least in my lifetime.
Don't just accept my opinion on the athletic benefits of what seems like a purely academic announcement. In our corner is Ross Els, Nebraska's recruiting coordinator for football. Seven months before the curtain goes up on what will be called CB3, Els has grasped the impact it will have. The result of this historic breakthrough will be the first on-campus, shared academic/athletic research facility in the history of intercollegiate athletics.
We sat down with Els in his second-floor North Stadium office and asked him to help us paint the big picture of Nebraska's 2013 football recruiting class, and he was more than willing to elaborate on why he thinks the entire East Stadium Expansion Project packs such a game-changing wallop in terms of recruiting.
Please feel free to join our conversation because it begins with an explanation of how that new center already applies to 23 recruits who have given Nebraska their verbal commitments to sign letters of intent on Tuesday, Feb. 5.
Q: The East Stadium Expansion Project was officially approved by the University of Nebraska Regents on Friday. How big a deal is that?
A: When you look at the whole East Stadium expansion, there are a lot of pluses. No. 1, when you walk out on that field, you're surrounded. I mean, no more is there even a little bit of an opening where you can see sky. People are right on top of you, and even though the fans aren't in the stands yet, our recruits are walking out there and saying: 'Oh my goodness!' It's just like the press box behind them on the west side. The visiting teams will look across the field now, and the fans will be surrounding them with 15 rows of seats on top of the new skyboxes from one end of the field to the other.
Q: Will that create a more intimidating atmosphere for visiting teams?
A: Sure ... absolutely, plus the new stadium shows that we're willing to continue to improve our facilities and spend the money to make us the best program we can possibly be. That includes the two new research areas that will be inside the East Stadium. That's a huge commitment – one that's finally brought academics and athletics together.
Q: How does that influence recruiting?
A: Anytime you start to deal with research in the medical area, it's great because there are so many unknowns, especially with brain studies. I think a lot of kids and families are coming in here and saying 'Wow, you guys really are state-of-the-art.' It makes sense for us. We're state-of-the-art in academics, in life skills, in nutrition and in strength training. Now we're moving that direction in athletic research. That's our next big thing, and it's going to have a huge impact on recruiting. It's important when recruits and families see us dedicating our efforts to their sons' health and their safety with the latest in technology. It's more proof that we are not a program that sits on our laurels. We're always trying to get better and constantly striving for new ways to show our leadership. There's no question that people really are excited about what that East Stadium will do for our recruiting. Huge deal, and recruiting is part of the vision from our Hall-of-Fame coach that made something like that a priority as athletic director.
Q: You have no 2013 recruiting visits scheduled for this or next weekend, but you are hosting a Junior Day for 2014 recruits on Saturday. How many players will be here and how much has the process accelerated?
A: Let me show you a chart on the TV screen. Here's probably the biggest thing that's changed recruiting. When you look at this chart (showing Big Ten Conference recruiting commitments over the last five years), you see the number of commitments by June 1 of their junior years. That number doubled last June for every year except 2009. This recruiting class is committing a heck of a lot sooner than they ever have before. Here's another look. See how they started to commit early with these two big spikes right here – one last February another last April? That was for 2013 recruits.
Q: What moved the needle and pushed a faster recruiting cycle?
A: Competition, I guess. For some reason, something has really sped up for this class. Since kids are making decisions much sooner, we've had to adjust and develop relationships sooner so we could get them on campus. We're hosting about 15 kids on Saturday – 10 from Nebraska and five more from out-of-state. We've changed the math and are making Junior Day more specialized than the 45 or so kids we've hosted at once in the past. We've invited just the top players in the area on this one. We'll host another one in the spring, and then we'll probably host another Big Red Weekend after that.
Q: Is everyone in the recruiting game accelerating like Nebraska is?
A: I would think so, just seeing the number of offered guys that are already out there. They're getting their offers earlier than ever before. You can read or follow that on Twitter, etcetera. So many head coaches are getting out there early. They can't visit with the 2014 kids that are juniors right now but they can stop by the school and see the coach. So we have to do the same thing, and we're asking Bo (Pelini) when he's doing his home visits on this year's class to visit the same schools so he can get an idea of what will be coming down the pipeline in the future.
Q: Seems like Bo is here, there and everywhere. How hard do you push him?
A: He's been on the road every day for this whole recruiting cycle all the way through December and all the way through January. He's been a trooper. He's really going hard.
Q: How often is he on the road
by himself?
A: It's about 50-50. Sometimes, he's by himself, and sometimes he's with others. It's all based on whatever and wherever we can be the most efficient.
Q: In a nutshell, what's the most pivotal point in recruiting?
A: Getting kids to visit. Whenever we can get them on campus, they're sold. Everybody that comes here talks about the great visit they had in Lincoln. It's the same thing about the home visits with Bo because he tells you: 'This is what it's really going to be like here. Sure, we want you to be a great football player and all that, but it's more important about what kind of person you are and what kind of man you become.' That's what parents need to hear, and, fortunately, Bo not only says it, but backs it up. And that makes him a very successful closer in recruiting.
Q: What are Nebraska's biggest recruiting advantages?
A: No. 1 is the tradition of the program itself. Even though the '90s was the last time we won a conference championship or a national championship, we still get a lot of respect from a football program standpoint all over the country. We're one of only four teams to win at least nine games every year over the last five years. The other three teams that have done that are Alabama, Oregon and Boise State, so we're in pretty good company.
Q: What ranks second?
A: I would say the overall philosophy that Bo has and what type of person he wants to recruit. Parents know we can get their kids to the next level because we have a strong track record for doing that.
Q: What's the most surprising part of football recruiting?
A: Once we get recruits to Lincoln, both the parents and the kids are pleasantly surprised by the city. Our facilities are probably as good as anywhere. Other schools may have as good a weight room or as good an indoor facility as what we have, but when you combine everything that we have in all the different departments and the people that are going to help their son get to that level we're talking about, that's what I think impresses – and surprises – people the most.
Q: Coaches and staffers are always talking about the importance of centralized facilities. How does that affect recruiting?
A: It's a big differentiator. Recruits can see how easy it is to walk out of a chemistry class and a few minutes later be in one of the best, if not the best, student-life complex in the country. They can study there and then walk a few yards down the hall and be eating at one of the best training tables in the country. It's important when everything's adjacent. You're immediately connected to academics and life skills and all of the support systems that are going to keep you on task in the classroom and in the community at the same time you're getting better every day as an athlete.
Q: Do you use the Heisman Trophy/GameDay Experience Room videos to recruit?
A: We do – off-season and in-season. They give everybody a big taste of what they'll see when they actually make an official visit that fall.
Q: Nebraska leads the nation with a former Husker on at least one roster for 20 straight Super Bowls. Does something like that influence recruiting?
A: We think it does. That's why we sent it to all of our recruits to make sure they understand another part of our tradition and our history that's important to them. We're convinced we have what it takes to succeed at the next level.

Obama offers budget deal on Social Security and taxes
A modest tax increase that Republicans embraced months ago will be part of President Barack Obama's budget proposal set for release next week, White House officials said on Friday.
The proposal would change how Social Security pension benefits are periodically adjusted for inflation and, in doing so, also change the adjustment of federal individual income tax brackets, resulting in slightly higher taxes for many Americans.
The idea - involving a measure of inflation known as the chained Consumer Price Index, or chained CPI - was backed in December by House of Representative Republican leaders. White House officials detailed it ahead of Wednesday's budget release.
Chained CPI is staunchly opposed by many Democrats as well as labor and retiree groups because it would reduce some Social Security benefits. By offering it in his budget as a concession, Obama could be trying to bring Republicans back to the deficit-reduction negotiating table in coming weeks.
Republicans backed chained CPI as a way to raise $200 billion over a decade in an offer when the two sides were dueling over how to avert the $600 billion "fiscal cliff" mix of tax hikes and spending cuts that loomed at the start of the year.
House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner and other House Republican leaders signed a Dec. 3 offer that proposed chained CPI. Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said on Friday that the speaker is still open to such a move.
So where does the tax boost come in?
Switching to chained CPI from the CPI measure now used by Social Security would also change tax bracket adjustments so that they would occur less often. As a result, Americans with rising incomes would see more of their income move more quickly into higher tax brackets. This is known as "bracket creep."
"Chained CPI increases revenues because we adjust the tax code by that measurement of inflation," said Steve Bell, senior director of economic policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center, a think tank, and a former adviser to congressional Republicans.
Many bipartisan deficit-cutting groups have proposed moving to chained CPI, including the so-called Simpson-Bowles commission and the Bipartisan Policy Center.
"I can't explain," how Republicans can back a tax hike, said Stephen Entin, an economist at the conservative Tax Foundation think tank and former Treasury official under President Ronald Reagan. "It is usually put forward as a technical adjustment, but it is also a tax increase."
Supporters of the switch say the standard CPI index overstates price rises, but opponents say moving to chained CPI would unfairly deprive older Americans of benefits they have been promised.
In addition, because more affluent taxpayers can't be bumped beyond the top bracket, the change would tend to bite hardest among middle-class taxpayers, according to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center.
About three-quarters of households would see a tax hike, TPC said in an analysis, with those making between $30,000 and $40,000 seeing the biggest cut in after-tax income - on average about 0.3 percent.
Obama's fiscal 2014 budget aims to cut the deficit by $1.8 trillion over 10 years, administration officials said.
Boehner, the top Republican in Congress, has ruled out any further revenue increases after letting taxes rise for the wealthiest Americans earlier this year.

Bridge board looks to city and county for funding help
By Luke Groskopf
Journal Staff Writer
Right now the Bridge Emergency Shelter is a ship without a captain. Staff and supporters would like to find one, but first they need to find the cash.
M.B. McAfee, who chairs the board of directors, visited the Montezuma County commissioners Monday in an effort to secure funding to hire a full-time executive director.
She asked the county to contribute $25,000 a year, beginning in 2014, to pay half the director's salary of $50,000. The Cortez City Council listened to a similar pitch from McAfee last month that was "received favorably," according to City Manager Shane Hale.
While they stopped short of committing any money, councilors suggested increasing municipal court fees and tacking a surcharge onto traffic citations to raise money for the Bridge.
The council Tuesday night approved a first reading of increasing the court fees by $10. The item must be approved three times before it can be enacted.
The plan is to donate the money raised by the surcharges to the shelter monthly, but Hale on Tuesday night said that would ultimately be a council decision.
Still unknown is if the funds raised would be counted toward what the city donates to the shelter for 2014.
Now the county will be faced with decisions of its own.
Open since January 2006, the Bridge didn't hire its first executive director until 2010. Sara Wakefield spent two years at the helm before moving to Durango's Manna Soup Kitchen last spring. Her successor's tenure was brief - only three months - because the board chose to terminate the position in September for budget reasons.
Since then McAfee has functioned as a de facto director, unpaid, on top of her role as chair. She expressed concern about being stretched too thin.
"I'm not sure I'm doing a great job at either position at the moment," she admitted on Monday.
McAfee is making her case to the commissioners and city council now to give them ample time to crunch the numbers.
"I appreciate (getting) requests like this in advance," said Montezuma County Administrator Ashton Harrison. "Often people will come in here after the (year's) budget is already adopted and it's too late."
The county already supports the Bridge in-kind with free rent and utilities at the old jail building off Mildred Road and Empire Street. The shelter is responsible for maintenance costs.
"You have no clue how grateful we are (for the facility)," McAfee said.
Other board members and shelter staff attended the meeting as a show of solidarity and to add comments of their own. They presented the request for money as a wise fiscal move.
The homeless will always be with us, they said, and housing them inside the shelter is the most cost-effective option. Alternatives, like the emergency room or county jail, are pricier, and taxpayers end up footing the bill anyway.
"The cheapest option is a viable Bridge," said board member and Cortez Police Chief Roy Lane.
In the nonprofit sector, a crucial administrative task is writing grant proposals to government agencies and private foundations. Tailoring them to each prospective donor, with customized formats and phrasing, is an acquired skill. Finding available grants and completing the paperwork takes many hours, and none is guaranteed to be accepted.
Paying a director is a major expense. But they can be a net financial positive, McAfee said, because of the extra revenue they bring in. Wakefield's grant-writing collections more than covered her own salary.
The county commissioners were vocally sympathetic to the Bridge's plight. Now comes the task of carving out space in a tight budget.
"We know what you're after. We know what you do. We'll take this into account for next year's budget," Keenan Ertel said.
It's been a harrowing few months for the shelter, cash-wise.
In November - two months after eliminating the director position - McAfee called a stakeholders meeting to ask for emergency monies. She described it as a last-ditch plea for help.
"I wasn't sure we could stay open for the season, much less the future," she said Monday.
The meeting did its job. The shelter cobbled together donations from the city, county, Southwest Memorial Hospital, Axis Health System and Christian Ministries to keep the doors open.
But McAfee and company are eager to move beyond makeshift solutions, and they think a permanent director is a means of doing so.
Adding an on-site commercial kitchen is another project on the Bridge's radar. Right now it relies on Grace's Kitchen (based in St. Barnabas Episcopal Church) and Hope's Kitchen (First United Methodist Church) for meals. Constructing a kitchen, depending on in-kind assistance, will cost about $30,000. McAfee said she has been promised a "handsome donation" of $15,000, but needs to come up with matching funds from other sources.
From mid-October to mid-April, the Bridge welcomes homeless and other individuals who need a warm place to sleep at night. Unlike most shelters, it accepts intoxicated guests as long as they behave and are quarantined on the "wet side" apart from sober guests. It also operates the year-round Cortez Day Labor Center to help the unemployed find work.
Since launching in May 2010, the Day Labor Center has helped more than 1,800 people network with 300 local employers, McAfee said.

A juvenile suspected of starting the Weber Fire was the subject of a two-day trial this week in federal court in Durango.
The youth faces two counts of juvenile delinquency as it relates to the Weber Fire, said Jeff Dorschner, spokesman for the U.S. Attorneys Office in Denver.
The trial was closed to the public because the case involves a juvenile. It was a trial before the judge, meaning there was no jury.
Federal Judge James A. Parker of Albuquerque took several legal issues under advisement and gave attorneys 10 days to file legal briefs before he issues a ruling in the case, said a person knowledgeable of the proceedings but unauthorized to speak to the media.
The 10,000-acre Weber Fire started June 22 and burned for 15 days southeast of Mancos. It threatened dozens of homes and cost more than $5 million to suppress.
The fire resulted in 140 homes being evacuated and 390 homes being put on pre-evacuation notice. Flames came within feet of several houses, but only a small outbuilding was lost.
The juveniles name, age and gender have not been released.
The juvenile is accused of gathering leaves and underbrush and using a lighter to start the fire, according to the U.S. Attorneys Office.
The youth faces anything from probation to being incarcerated for up to five years on both counts.

Thomas R. Horgan: Students should not let debt scare them away from collegeBy THOMAS R. HORGAN
July 21. 2013 3:40PM
New Hampshire citizens are no fools. Perhaps that's why the presidential primary starts right here every four years, because the nation needs the first steps in the process to be taken by people who don't rush to easy judgments, who do their homework, and who have more than their fair share of common sense.
Thankfully, those same common-sense traits will serve readers of this page well in contemplating the truly short-sighted advice recently offered in an editorial entitled "Student debt: Washington subsidizes it." It stated: "If politicians really care about the best interests of these young adults, they should encourage students to think twice before going into debt for higher education in the first place rather than making it easier for them to do so at a lower interest rate."
The editorial was talking about Congress' inability to prevent a major interest rate hike from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent for federal student loans. Fortunately, Congress appears to be working on correcting this error now. While debating the process by which our nation's leaders "help" higher education is important, we should all agree that advising young people to avoid higher education solely to avoid debt is a terrible idea.
Unquestionably, college is not for everyone, but it still remains one of the best financial and personal investments you can make in your future. I absolutely agree with the editor's statement that going to college, taking out loans and not finishing your degree is a bad choice. Students must very carefully consider their decision to take out student loans, and they need to make a real commitment to finishing their degrees.
Colleges also have an obligation to make sure students understand the financial commitments they are undertaking. As the editorial suggests, some disreputable companies have recently entered the higher-education marketplace, and students need to be particularly careful when selecting an institution. Without question, debt levels are too high and higher-education institutions need to continue to work hard at reducing costs and wisely expending scarce resources. Meanwhile, our state's leaders in Concord are to be congratulated on restoring funding to our higher-education institutions in the state budget and returning the UNIQUE Scholarship funds to their intended purpose of funding students. These were not easy decisions to make, but they demonstrate our elected leaders' commitment to developing an educated workforce for New Hampshire.
Many now question the value of going into debt to get a diploma. Respectfully, I think that very question ignores the lifetime value of a college education. Here are a few incentives to consider when thinking about investing in your higher education:
• Statistics show that those who hold college degrees are healthier, have significantly lower unemployment rates, earn much higher wages, are more engaged in their communities and vote at higher rates.
• It is estimated that by 2018 13.8 million new jobs and 33 million replacement jobs will be available. Two-thirds of these jobs will require at least some college education.
The New Hampshire College & University Council is a nonprofit consortium of our state's public and private colleges and universities working together to reduce costs and share resources. One program we promote in partnership with the New Hampshire Department of Education is NH Scholars, which encourages high school students to take rigorous academic courses in high school so they will be prepared to do college-level work or go into the workplace. Fully 87 percent of NH Scholars head to college entirely because they took more challenging classes in high school. Being better prepared academically helps increase student access to higher education. Keeping federal student loan interest rates low is another important avenue to higher education access.
College isn't a given, and it's not for everyone. But scaring students away from pursuing higher education with exaggerated threats of debt is not helpful. Our future depends on an educated workforce and citizenry. We already hear from many New Hampshire employers that they cannot find the skilled workers they need to fill high-tech occupations. Discouraging students from going on to college will not serve any of us well.
Thomas R. Horgan is president and CEO of the New Hampshire College & University Council.

Nashua toddler succumbs to injuries
May 11. 2013 6:01PM
NASHUA — A 2-year-old boy who police say was assaulted by his mother has died, according to Jeffery Strelzin from the Attorney General's Office.
The child had been fighting for his life in a Boston hospital. His mother, Unique S. Gould, 21, of 8 Ash Court, told authorities she had trouble waking him on April 26. According to documents filed in court, Gould later told detectives she had struck the child on his buttocks and head the night before and had "blacked out" at one point.
Gould has been charged with first-degree assault.
Court records show that doctors at Southern New Hampshire Medical Center found her son had "significant head trauma and inter-cranial bleeding" when he was taken there by ambulance. He was later transferred to Massachusetts General Hospital with a severe brain injury.
Strelzin said Saturday night no upgraded charges have been filed against Gould, but the case is still under investigation.
The little boy, identified on Gould's Facebook page as Devon, turned 2 on March 16, according to court documents.

A man who Absolutely LOVES and Desires Women. But on the contrast does not relate to Men. As a teen he may have been very shy and could have also been view as gay because of his feminine characteristics. He is very interested in his own appearance ie: grooming, hair ,designer cloths ,etc. He does not like to watch the football Game. He would rather be talking or flirting with an attractive female. HE is not sure he wants to be a woman, but knows what he would do if he was one ,first his personality and interests would be the same, and second he could lighten up and be himself , third he would be a lesbian. He has a strong desire to please women, paticuarly the ones he is most emotionally attracted to.
If a male friend of the MALE LESBIAN has a wife or Girlfriend and His male friend and Wife or Girlfriend get into a fight, The MALE LESBIAN will almost always understand and take the side of the female.
by 2 real 4 u December 03, 2007
A male lesbian is a physiologically heteosexual male who wishes he'd been born a girl. He feels alienated by the social standards of gender roles. He may be a crossdresser or consider himself transgendered, but he is probably not transsexual. His ideal would be to be able to be his feminine self in a relationship with a biological female. If he is open about this, he may be ridiculed by both the gay and straight communities.
I don't know; maybe Prince is a male lesbian.
by Erica31 March 09, 2006
The male lesbian is either a male who is wholly psychologically feminine but attracted to women, or an androgynous male whose feminine half is attracted to women.
Dave is wholly psychologically feminine. He has the soul of a woman in a man's body, but finds women attractive. Thus, Dave is a male lesbian.
Rick is an androgynous male. Hes half masculine and half feminine. Both sides are attracted to women. Thus, Rick is a male lesbian AND a heterosexual male.

STOCKTON - At some point during his young life, Bernardo "Tatas" Gutierrez Jr. got off track.
STOCKTON - At some point during his young life, Bernardo "Tatas" Gutierrez Jr. got off track.
Described as bright, always cheerful and the center of attention, the father of a young son was gunned down Sunday evening in front of his lifelong home.
Stockton police have made very little information public about Gutierrez's slaying. All they are saying is that the young man - who turned 18 on Oct. 22 - was out in front of his house in the 2600 block of South Lincoln Street about 5:12 p.m. Sunday when a vehicle pulled up, stopped, and someone inside shot at Gutierrez, hitting him multiple times.
He was declared dead at the scene, police said.
On Monday, neighbors of the Gutierrez family expressed sadness over his death and concern about the violence that intruded on their quiet stretch of Lincoln Street, where single-family homes sit on large lots behind wrought-iron or chain-link fences.
One neighbor, who declined to provide a name for fear of reprisal, said police showed up just minutes after multiple gunshots - "about five or six" - were heard.
"It's a pretty calm street, normally. It was kind of a shock to see that happen. It's getting out of control," the lifelong resident said, noting that after the gunshots Gutierrez's mother could be heard screaming as her son was lying in the home's driveway.
The neighbor described Gutierrez as the youngest of four siblings who lived in his parents' home with his girlfriend and their 18-month-old son. Another neighbor who grew up with Gutierrez and also declined to provide a name confirmed that information.
That neighbor said the long-term residents of South Lincoln Street in southwest Stockton are tight knit and united and help each other raise their children.
The neighbor described Gutierrez as "always cheerful, saying hi to everybody. He had good manners and never said anything disrespectful to anybody."
Brian Biedermann, principal at Edison High School who knew the family and said Gutierrez's older siblings were good students, described the young man who transferred about two years ago to Jane Frederick Continuation School as "bright. He was smart. He passed the proficiency tests," but he was having trouble in a large, comprehensive high school.
"He needed a smaller setting. He thrived in independent study. He had the capacity to do more," Biedermann said, noting that he believes Gutierrez left Frederick at the end of his junior year.
The neighbors who saw Gutierrez most recently said they did not believe he was working or going to school. He spent most of his time with his son and family, they said.

His office? Your office?
"His office," Jeffrey Lurie said. "When Andy and I talked, especially about these kinds of things, it was usually in his office. I just thought you showed respect by doing it that way."
It was coming up on 9 o'clock on Monday morning. That is when the Eagles' owner took the walk down the hall, the walk that he had been dreading. Out the door, down the hall, into a common area and then over to the football side of the NovaCare Complex. Maybe the walk took 15 seconds. Maybe a little bit more.
Fifteen seconds. Fourteen years.
Lurie had known he was going to fire Andy Reid for weeks. After 14 years, he was gong to dismiss the man who did more than anyone in the building to change the culture of the Philadelphia Eagles. It is not like firing a baseball manager or a hockey coach. When you fire a coach in the National Football League, you end up fundamentally altering just about everything involved on the football side of things. It isn't like you're just changing the bunt sign.
You say to Lurie that, given everything, it must have been such a weird and uncomfortable conversation. But he brightened at the memory. The press conference was over, and the post-press conference press conference was over, and he was swigging from a bottle of water and smiling what seemed to be a grateful smile -- grateful for Reid's final act.
"It was so comfortable," Lurie said. "Oh my God. We were both prepared for this in our own individual ways. We're close. We're friends. We knew, both of us. It was unspoken, but we knew. Part of me dreaded it but part of me just knew it was going to be comfortable. You work with somebody for 14 years and you just know.
"We knew it needed a change. It was time for him to have a change. He needs a change even though he was still fired up about the future here."
We have not yet heard Reid's side of the conversation. He talked to his players, and then to the entire front office staff, but he offered no public reaction to his firing. Maybe soon, maybe never -- with Reid, you can never be sure.
After today, all of the news looks forward -- to the search for a new coach, and to the decision on how the new coach and general manager Howie Roseman will work together, and to the ritual dismantling of the roster. Because no matter how much the players and Roseman spent Monday talking about a lack of chemistry and leadership in the locker room, Roseman acknowledged that the Eagles did overrate their talent in 2012. As he said, "You're 4-12. It's not just chemistry."
Still, even though the future is more important now, this final day deserves to be respected. The man did win more games than anyone in franchise history. And while Lurie and Joe Banner were the ones who got the stadium and the practice facility built, it was Reid who turned the team into a winner on the field and who kept it there for more than a decade.
But even though it was time, and everyone knew it, that walk down the hall must have been hell. Pretty much every good thing that has happened to the Eagles under Lurie has happened with Reid as his coach. That is a mouthful, but it is true. You can foresee a hopeful future and still recognize everything Reid did. The walk down the hall had to have been hard.
"I don't know," Lurie said. "Maybe we're just so comfortable with each other that, even under the duress of having to do this, it was OK. We were just honest with each other. We've been honest with each other forever.
"I was honest when I said that I was just so disappointed and felt like a change was necessary. He accepted my honesty. I accepted his honesty back."
It was reported that Lurie actually fired Reid on Friday. Lurie said that was not true, but that there was a philosophical conversation between the two men that day.
"We did speak twice," Lurie said. "We spoke on Friday but there was no decision made. He spoke about his hopes for the future. He offered me a great analysis of where we're at, and his optimism about the future.
"Today? It was almost sort of a fait accompli. He knew, and I knew, that it was time. That was all."
With that, for Jeffrey Lurie, there is a final reality on the last day of the Andy Reid era: that while this was certainly the right move, there are no certainties after today.

Save the surplus: State reserves are too lowEDITORIAL
December 28. 2013 1:00AM
You know that "reckless" and "irresponsible" 2011-13 state budget New Hampshire Democrats told you so much about for the last two years? Well, the Department of Revenue Administration has confirmed that it left New Hampshire with a $72.2 million surplus at the end of fiscal year 2013. And now the people who called it irresponsible want to spend half of what little savings are left.
The 2011-13 state budget was an achievement of historic significance. It actually reduced state spending below the previous year's levels. For that, it and its authors were called cruel. It was said that the budget would devastate New Hampshire.
It did not devastate New Hampshire. Rather, it brought spending in line with revenues for the first time in years and produced a big surplus.
The state already has spent $57 million of that surplus in the current budget - which the big-spenders also attacked as too stingy. But $15 million remains. Naturally, Gov. Maggie Hassan - who vigorously opposed both budgets, but ultimately signed and took credit for the current one - has proposed spending half of that.
State law requires budget surpluses to be deposited into the rainy day fund. But the Legislature has routinely suspended the law so it can spend the surpluses, which is why the state has less than $10 million in cash reserves. For some perspective, state budget officials warned a decade ago that the rainy day fund, then at $17 million, was too low. Gov. Hassan wants the state to go into 2014 with a reserve of only $16 million. The responsible thing to do is to save it all.

Croydon home burns in two-alarm fireBy MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
April 18. 2013 2:56PM
CROYDON - It was a long night for firefighters who battled a two-alarm fire at 9 Sawyer Meadow Road Wednesday night that heavily damaged a home and kept firefighters busy well into the following morning.
Firefighters responded to the home at 11:29 p.m. for a report of a structure fire with explosions, Croydon Fire Chief Steve Rizza said.
The explosions turned out to be 20-pound propane tanks just outside the home, as well as ammunition stored inside the home, Rizza said.
The fire wasn't under control until 3 a.m., and firefighters were on the scene putting out hot spots until 6 a.m.
"The reason is the metal roof," Rizza said. "It really acts like an oven."
After investigating the scene with a state fire marshal, Rizza said late Thursday morning that the fire appears to have been an accidental woodstove fire.
The home had structural, fire and water damage.
The homeowners were out when the fire occurred, and no firefighters were injured fighting the blaze, Rizza said.

Friday the 13th: Part 6: Jason Lives (US - DVD R1)
Gabe had less luck bringing his granny back via iron rod and lightning bolt...
The best nine minutes in the history of the Friday the 13th franchise come at the top of Jason Lives, which sees the Frankenstein inspired rebirth of Jason Voorhees via dual lightning bolt strikes to the chest, thanks to the overzealous actions of series protagonist Tommy Jarvis. Director Tom McLoughlin musters every once of James Whale, Mario Bava, and Terence Fischer he possibly can, and without missing an iota of cheese or corn, he spits it forth in a perfect conglomerate of past, present, and future horror movie iconography. The whole film isn't this good, but it's hard to live up to such rousing heights. There are moments of hysterical genius throughout the Friday the 13th movies, even the series' lesser entries have their sunny side kills, but while re-watching Jason Lives I got the distinct feeling that McLoughlin actually knew what he was doing when he achieved such glory, and he may be a better filmmaker than his follow-up, made-for-television follow-up career led me to assume.
Jason Lives is one of the first self aware slasher films. It doesn't quite approach the post-modern aspirations of the Scream series, but McLoughlin assumes the audience knows the series rules, and lets us know were in on the joke, even completely shattering the fourth wall once. The fifth film had a more goofy sense of humour, and wasn't really aware of itself as a movie, which doesn't quite work outside of the time of release. In contrast Jason Lives is quite clever concerning its sense of humour, which runs a gamut from blatant self-criticism, tasty in-jokes, old fashion one-liners, and effective slapstick (or splatstick if you prefer). The film also features some of the series most likeable and realistically drawn characters. Lead Thom Matthews is somewhat ineffective in the thankless role of Tommy, and some of the random kill forest wanderers are kind of obnoxious, but the camp counselors don't act like sex-starved idiots, the cops aren't gun toting idiots, and even the child actors are relatively harmless. The plot is minimalist in the extreme (Jason is reborn, goes on a killing spree, the good guys set out to stop him), but gets big points for tastefully putting kids in danger (a hard concept on film).
Concerning that wacky Friday the 13th continuity, Jason Lives is responsible for bringing full-on supernatural elements into the series. From this point on Jason Voorhees is an unkillable zombie, not a hyper-aggressive mongoloid man-child with a strong constitution. This is also the film where Jason gets his much loved machete, which he keeps in some form for the rest of the series. In its way Jason Lives is kind of a series reboot, it just takes past continuity into account. Concerning the gore and kills, Jason Lives is actually one of the series' more tame entries, not only because of the MPAA's required cuts, but because McLoughlin is more concerned with rollercoaster scares, and impressionistic visuals than disturbing gore. Even the deleted gore that accompanies the film on this DVD isn't particularly grueling or upsetting.
This is the first film in the new release collection that I can see a distinct difference from the previous releases without a comparison (I don't own the old sets anymore, so I actually can't do a comparison, and do apologize for the assumptions I made on previous reviews). Jason Lives is probably the best shot film in the entire series (only Freddy Vs. Jason possibly rivals it, and that one was shot by Ronny Freakin' Yu), and a solid understanding of theatrical lighting often makes for a generally better transfer. The transfer is effective because it features sharper contrast and brighter colours than I'm used to seeing out of these discs. Blacks are deep, clean, and sharply edged, and the colours pop without drawing too much attention to themselves. Details aren't finer than expected, but thanks to the brighter colours and sharper contrast fans aren't likely to miss much, even during the last act, which is dark enough to have been muddied a bit on previous releases. There is still quite a bit of compression noise, especially around edges, in skin tones, and in a few of the brighter reds, so there is some room for improvement come Blu-ray release time.
For Jason Lives composer Harry Manfredini took his normally minimalist, Herrmann inspired string riffs, and ramped them up to super frenetic levels, especially for that all important opening sequence. Like the other 5.1 remixes this one is still mostly centered concerning effects and dialogue (though the film is new enough to have been Dolby Surround mixed the first time around), but the music is brassy and bassy, and fills the channels pretty well. Alice Cooper's additions to the soundtrack aren't as surround intense, but are all crystal clear and feature a good punch of bass.
The collector's edition extras begin with a commentary from writer/director Tom McLoughlin, editor Bruce Green, and actor Vincent Guastaferro. The track is constant, informative, and features an amusing but effective tone. McLoughlin is the track leader, and runs the discussion with a bit of technical know-how (some good lessons actually), and reference to his many levels of homage. Green adds a little more technical jargon, and Gustaferro fills in a few of the gaps. There's not a lot of blank space or simple discussion of on-screen action here, and plenty of good natured bitching about the MPAA cuts.
' Jason Live: The Making of Friday the 13th Part 6' (13:00) continues the streak of new release making-of featurettes that are short, but well put together and effectively informative. As per the norm the featurette covers a lot of the same stuff as the commentary track, but there's some new info here too (such as apparent proof that the film was a partial inspiration for Scream, and some behind the scenes on the deleted footage that didn't even make the deleted footage reel). The featurette is met with the third part of the fun 'Crystal Lake Massacres Revisited' (9:30) series of mockumentaries, this one obviously concerning the events of the sixth film, and some supposition on the events in between the films.
The most exciting extra for fans will be the uncut gore reel, or 'Slashed Scenes' (6:00), which has apparently been making the rounds at cons for decades. The footage is in rough shape – non-anamorphic full frame video, it's very dark, details are choppy, and the print is teeming with artefacts. The changes are surprisingly minimal considering what McLoughlin describes on the commentary track, but their presence in any form is valuable to fans. Some of the scenes, it should be noted, have nothing to do with gore, and were apparently cut for pacing. 'Meeting Mr. Voorhees' (2:45) is a pseudo-alternate ending, which has been recreated from McLoughlin's original script using storyboards, music, and the actor who played the caretaker's voice. The scene was intended to introduce Jason's father into the series as a possible villain for the seventh installment. That would've been better than a telekinetic girl…
Things end with yet another Lost Tales from Camp Blood entry (part 6, natch, 7:15), this one picking up again where the last one left off, and showing perhaps too much of our non-Jason's face, a trailer, and a teaser for The Uninvited. I suppose the Camp Blood shorts may be growing on me a bit, and I'm still happy Paramount included fan films as extra features, but I was still pretty bored.
…And thus ends my review coverage about Friday the 13th movies I care about. Well, until the Blu-ray releases, when I reassess the audio and video qualities. Otherwise the only films left in Paramount's catalogue are The New Blood (which features the coolest physical manifestation of Jason, but nothing else), and Jason Takes Manhattan (which features the flat out strangest ending in the series history, but nothing else). Perhaps Warner Bros/New Line will jump on the bandwagon soon and we'll see Blu-ray releases of Jason X and Freddy Vs. Jason (and I guess Jason Goes to Hell, just to complete the set). Maybe Warner Bros/New Line will also see fit to release Blu-ray versions of the Nightmare on Elm Street series. Only time (an inevitably the sales of these DVDs) will tell.

This is one of the best Friday the 13th movies. The action is better,the actors are good, Megan has a little thing for Tommy and it makes it more like a heroic effort, rather than just a cut up as many counselors as you can movie. The sheriff plays a good role, very good acting, Jason scenes are more dramatic, with the camper scene, the fire in the water scene, it also shows a softer side of Jason for kids at the camp. Also you even get to see a little of Arnold Horshack from Welcome Back Kotter in the first scene with Tommy digging up Jason. This was also a very good scene. I give this movie a thumbs up among the other Friday the 13th's. Alice Cooper songs are cool too, "Man Behind the Mask" and "Teenage Frankenstein".
Never seen this one, gonna buy it though.
It's a classic of 80`s pop culture and part of the glam rockers favorites...
Still waiting for the feature of the alice cooper video clip "the man behind the mask"
At least this new dvd releases comes with lenticular slip covers

Thanks for the review, Gabe. What did you think of the new F13 remake?
Thank you Peter.
Y'know, I haven't seen any of these movies (with the exception of Jason X and Freddy vs Jason), but I've really enjoyed Gabe's reviews as an examination of a long-running series.
I didn't discover Cooper until Wayne's World.
I agree that Mathews is a better Tommy than Shepherd, but he's still the weak link in the otherwise spot-on Jason Lives cast.

One can certainly see the influence that this had upon Scream, as there are several very self-aware / self-conscious references in Jason Lives.
We're grateful for Jason Lives for introducing us to Alice Cooper, whom we have loved for over two decades and this movie has one of the best songs he ever wrote "Hard Rock Summer", which was only ever available on a really expensive compilation.

This is my favorite Friday the 13th film. The Final Chapter and this are considered the best of the series, but I personally think The Final Chapter is one of the lesser films. Don't get me wrong, Joseph Zito did a great job and it was pretty cool seeing a young Corey Feldman and Crispin Glover but the plot was just... terrible. In my opinion at least. I know plot isn't that big of an issue when making or watching a Friday the 13th film but compared to parts 1-3, and even to part 5, it felt a little thin. Plus, what was with the random guy hunting Jason because he killed the guy's sister?
Anyway, back to this entry. I found Thom Mathews as Tommy far more effective than John Shepherd from A New Beginning. David Kagen was really good as Sheriff Garris and the use of Alice Cooper songs was pretty cool. Plus, who could forget the American Express death?

Freddy Vs. Jason is slated to hit blu-ray in the fall. its already out here in canada but its a bare bones version with no extras at all. as for the Elm Street series, with the remake coming out next year i'm sure we'll see a blu-ray release of the first movie for sure. as a huge Freddy fan, it be nice to see the complete series get a new blu box set (with new extras) but thats wishful thinking i'm sure. lol
According to DVD Aficionado, Freddy Vs. Jason is supposedly being released on Blu-ray on September 8th.
My favorite of the sequels--I may even get the eventual Blu-ray disc.
Quote: The New Blood (which features the coolest physical manifestation of Jason, but nothing else)
Totally agree--I love the makeup for Jason in Part VII.

A window in Marinette is any opening in a roof or wall of a home which features glass or transparent materials enclosed in a frame, facilitating this way the penetration of air and light into a home. It's virtually next to impossible to live in a house with no windows because windows contribute significantly to a comfortable living. Windows offer a lot of benefits in homes such as energy efficiency leading to low energy bills, enhanced curb appeal, reduced noise from outside, privacy and the reduction of fading of your home belongings. All these benefits are facilitated by various features the windows offer such as insulation, UV protection features, and design. When looking to install windows in your home, there are many designs that you can choose from that will complement your home window needs. Some of these designs include awning windows, slider windows, bay or bow windows, picture windows, casement windows, transom windows, and stationary windows. Once you select the type of window to install, you'll need to get a professional installer which will ensure you get an excellent service. Window installations are very delicate, especially since the materials involved are fragile, hence doing the installation yourself is not recommended.
For the Marinette window to finally get installed in your home, it goes through a series of processes which need money to get completed. First, there's the designing, the budget planning, material purchase, and the installation services. Some factors determine how much gets spent on each stage. The type of window to be installed has a great impact on the overall costs. For example, if you were to install a vinyl window, it would cost you around $450 to $600 inclusive of the installation services. But if you were to get a wood replacement window, it would range anywhere from $800 to $1,000.
Of course, such figures are not final as they can still get impacted by factors such as the number of windows needed for the installation. Customized windows can also increase the cost of the windows in Marinette. This is because the process of manufacturing such windows is a little bit more complicated as well as the installation.
For reference it may be helpful to compare the costs from surrounding towns as well:
When a window in Marinette is mentioned, most people will only think about the window glass. The window glass is an important part of the window, but other components make the window whole. Such components include window hinges, window locks, window balances, sliding window rollers, window grille kit, window sash lifts, window sash retainers and tilt latches, window operator covers, etc. While these components might be cheap, they can add to the cost of a window installation significantly.
Tinted Marinette windows offer a ton of benefits to a homeowner. Various tint shades will enhance the appearance of your window and provide privacy in your home from prying eyes. Tinted windows will also protect you against UV light that can cause sunburns or fading on your belongings. Some have been known to reduce harmful UV rays by 99%.
Standard windows in Marinette are designed to withstand normal weather conditions such as average rainy or wind conditions. If you reside in areas prone to extreme weather conditions, standard windows will leave your home vulnerable. In such areas, it's better to install impact-resistant windows designed specifically for such conditions.

Manchester Alderman Levasseur files lawsuit to block release of his email records
By TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
— Alderman Joe Kelly Levasseur has filed a lawsuit attempting to block the release of email records that he argues would violate the privacy of constituents.
Levasseur, who is also an attorney, filed the suit in Hillsborough County Superior Court on Tuesday. He also personally delivered copies to the city solicitor's office and to the home of radio host Rich Girard, the defendants in the suit.
The suit alleges that "the city of Manchester, at no charge to taxpayers recently gave Richard Girard, a local political gadfly and radio host, per his 91-A request, over 11,000 pages of emails containing alderman Levasseur's name or email address."
The suit seeks an injunction preventing the dissemination of the information, and it calls on the court to order Girard to compensate the city for costs associated with responding to his request.
Girard, who has publicly feuded with Levasseur, maintained that his right-to-know requests pertained specifically to a prior request from the New Hampshire Union Leader for the aldermen's email correspondence with city departments and, more recently, for communication regarding the Manchester Dog Park.
"He's making it look like the right-to-know request was for constituent emails. It wasn't," Girard said, adding, "It's a specious argument. The whole thing is a joke."
Last week, Levasseur was formally censured by his fellow aldermen following an investigation by the state attorney general that concluded he made unfounded allegations of intimidation and misconduct against the Manchester Police Department.
Girard also stated that he didn't appreciate Levasseur personally delivering the suit to his home Tuesday morning.
"My wife said Joe Levasseur was on the front porch, which she wasn't terribly comfortable about," he said. "I find it interesting that the fellow complaining about intimidation shows up at my home unannounced."
Levasseur insisted he dropped off the suit simply as courtesy to Girard, and he maintained its goal was to "protect constituents."
"If the court ends up siding with the city, constituents will at least realize that they have to be careful what they say," Levasseur said. "How we act as a body and how the city acts are definitely something to be open to the public, but I don't think somebody should just be able to ask for 30,000 emails."
Levasseur said he had reviewed the documents the city solicitor's office intended to release, and they included numerous communications from constituents.
Girard had received two electronic files of information late last week from the city. According to Levasseur's suit, additional documents were to be released Tuesday.
Public information
In the suit, Levasseur noted that Chapter 91-A, commonly known as the right-to-know law, defined governmental records as "information created, accepted, or obtained by, or on behalf of, any public body, or a quorum or majority thereof" — not by a single elected official.
Levasseur points to a 2007 article by Cordell Johnston, the government affairs counsel for the New Hampshire Municipal Association.
"A communication between a member and a non-member of the public body does not involve any kind of deliberation between members of the public body, so it cannot be said that disclosure is necessary to keep the public apprised about discussions that are occurring behind the scenes," Johnston wrote in the article.
The logistics of maintaining records of communications between constituents and elected officials, Johnston wrote, would be a "nightmare."
Johnston said in an interview Tuesday that the concerns he raised were reflected in the language of the 2008 law, including the definition of a government record.
Deputy City Solicitor Tom Arnold said he hadn't had a chance to review Levasseur's suit, but he said his office was willing "wait for some period of time to see how the court acts."
In an email last week to Levasseur, Arnold maintained that email that goes through city servers would be presumed to be public.
"While emails must be judged on an individual basis, as a general rule an email that is sent to or from a city email address (i.e. goes through a city server) concerning an official function of the city is a governmental or public record."
Any email sent to an alderman or department through the city website passes through a city server.
Girard said he hasn't had a chance to review the records he has received so far, but he said he had no intention of keeping any relevant information under wraps.
"Until and unless there's a court order telling me I can't do it, I'm going to proceed as a free citizen and a journalist," he said.

Hit only 5 of 10 shots in the fourth quarter from the line
It's safe to say that the Boonville Pirates basketball team had its chances late in Friday night's ballgame against the Marshall Owls.
After trailing by as much as seven early in the fourth quarter, the Pirates rallied back with a 8-0 run during a two-minute stretch to go up 49-47 with 55 seconds left. But what happened after that is anybodys guess as Marshall came back with a steal and a layup to tie the game at 49-all. Then, after senior Damario Walker hit 1 of 2 foul shots to put the Pirates on top by one at 50-49, Boonville had another chance to add to its lead on a wide-open shot only to come away empty. In the meantime, the Owls rallied back to tie the game at 50-all and then sank 2 of 2 free throws with 2.5 seconds left to go up 52-50.
But even then there was still an outside chance as Boonville called back-to-back timeouts set up one last play. However, after in-bounds pass to Walker, the senior standout threw up a desperation shot at mid-court only to miss its mark to end the game.
While the 52-50 loss dropped Boonville to 12-10 overall and 6-4 in the NCMC, head coach Scott Floyd said his team fought adversity all night.
"I was proud of how we came back and grabbed the lead after being down seven points with about 4:00 to go," Floyd said. "Once again, our defense was pretty good tonight. We let Marshall off the hook in the first half as we were unable at times to catch up with their shooters in transition. Marshall hit six three-point buckets in the first half to gain a good cushion.
"We also had trouble at times rebounding the ball as Marshall hit the offensive glass with consistency. Another problem was the fact that we could only connect on 6 of 14 free throws on the night. We are usually pretty consistent from the line in clutch time, but tonight we found it difficult to hit free throws in the last four minutes of the game. We hit only 5 of 10 free throws in the fourth quarter."
Of course it didn't help that Marshall came out and reeled off nine straight points during a two-minute stretch to go up 12-4 early in the first quarter. However, after settling down somewhat on the offensive end, the Pirates still managed to make a game of it while trailing by just four (16-12) after first period's end.
The second quarter was a little better for the Pirates. Although Marshall still outscored Boonville 12-11 in the period to lead at the half 28-23, the Pirates showed signs of life offensively by reeling off 11 straight points in a span of three minutes to go up by one at 23-22 with 1:53 left.
But even that was short-lived as Marshall came back with a basket from Ben Valencia and a three from Zach Glassmaker to lead by five at the break.
Neither team did much offensively in the third quarter while combining for 12 points. The only difference is that Marshall led 34-29 with one quarter to play.
Meanwhile, in the final period, the Pirates trailed by as much as seven on two different occasions before rallying back with a 8-0 run to go up two at 49-47. Marshall then had a little luck go its way as Boonville missed several free throws down the stretch along with a point-blank shot to rally back for the victory.
Connor Cooley had 16 points and Zach Glassmaker 10 for Marshall.
For Boonville, Jay Barnhart finished the game with 15 points and five rebounds. Damario Walker added 13 points, three rebounds and two assists while Tyler Peterson chipped in 10 points, four rebounds and one steal, JT Washington with six points and nine rebounds, Gus Kemp with four points, two rebounds, two steals and one assist, Tavious Brazil with four rebounds and Gauge Sharp with one steal.
The Pirates also finished the game hitting 20 of 51 shots from the field for 39 percent and 6 of 14 from the foul line for 43 percent. Marshall, meanwhile, hit on 8 of 12 shots from the line for 67 percent.
In the JV game, Boonville raced out to a 22-6 first-quarter lead against the Owls and never looked back for a convincing 62-31 victory.
The Pirates, 10-5 overall and 5-4 in the NCMC, opened the first half with a 34-17 lead against Marshall and then outscored the Owls 28-14 in the second half.
Boonville JV coach Kent Peterson said it was nice for the kids to get their 10th win of the season.
"We played well as a collective group," Peterson said. "I was proud of Jady Reese, who had four points and five rebounds. Dalton Hodge had five points, Christian Burns hit a nice three-point shot and Conner Pond played really hard, he just couldn't get the ball in the basket but still had five rebounds. Clayton Lang continues to play great for us. He had 18 points on 4-9 shooting from the three-point line and Dre Lewis had 15-points while Bryce Fuemmeler attacked the basket and hit a couple of nice left hand runners. Marshall has a lot of kids developing and I was proud of our kids for working on the things we need to improve on (defending, rebounding) to make us better for two-tough games this week against Mexico and Moberly. We are looking forward to both games and hope to close out the season with two more wins."
Clayton Lang led the scoring attack in the game for Boonville with 18 points along with three steals, two rebounds and one assist.
DeAundre Lewis finished the game with 15 points, eight rebounds, one steal and one assist while Bryce Fuemmeler added 13 points, one rebound, one steal and one assist, Dalton Hodge with five points, one rebound and one assist, Jady Reese with four points, five rebounds and one steal, Alec Viertel with four points and three rebounds, Christian Burns with three points, two rebounds and one steal and Conner Pond with five rebounds.
For the game, Boonville's JV also hit on 24 of 55 shots from the field for 44 percent and 8 of 13 from the line for 62 percent.
Marshall was led in scoring by Zach Maupin and Joe Shroyer each with 10 points.

Dr. Judith Rodin addressed the crowd of

, an event co-hosted by the Foundation and Turquoise Trail Felt Fedora Nick Fouquet rMBO4JjK
at in New York City to address how to build communities that can recover, persist or even thrive amid disruption.
There is perhaps no better location to discuss the concept of resilience.
This institution — and this city — have built their resilience over centuries — enduring fires, floods, the Great Depression, the Great Recession, hurricanes, Superstorms…and, if one only reads the opinion page of the Wall Street Journal, the biggest crisis to hit New York yet: CitiBike.
All joking aside, while Superstorm Sandy was a stark reminder of how exposed New York City is to major disruptions, the truth is it has always been a place of great vulnerability. In 1835, for example, a Great Fire burned much of Lower Manhattan to the ground. Despite being surrounded by water on all sides, there was not enough of it available to put the fire out.
In response, the city and state dammed the Croton River in Westchester County, and built an extensive —aqueduct system. It was hailed as one of the greatest engineering achievements of its time — and the access to this great water resource built up New York's resilience to future fires.
Fifty years later, New York would experience another shock: the Great Blizzard of 1888 which shut down the city's system of elevated trains, and prompted the city to build the underground subway system that we know today.
History tells us that responding to vulnerabilities is not a new concept for cities — and there is a long record of these responses yielding — in the case of the aqueduct systems and our underground subways — some of our greatest innovations.
Today, though the global community is experiencing these shocks and disruptions on a near weekly basis.
Boston, Istanbul, San Jose, Costa Rica. Athens, Budapest, Colorado Springs,
All from different regions, with different demographics, geographic terrains and political systems.
But they all share at least one thing in common: in the last year they've experienced a major disruption: bombings, protests, earthquake, financial ruin, unprecedented flooding, devastating wildfires.
We can't predict when or where the next shock will hit. But we know that those shocks will come — and that they will only continue to increase in frequency, scale, and impact.
At least, three reasons: Urbanization, Globalization, Climate Change
When the Rockefeller Foundation opened our doors on Broadway one hundred years ago in 1913, only 1 in 10 people lived in cities. Today, around the world, half of all people call some city home, and by 2050, that number will rise to 75 percent.

"WHAT is wrong with fame, fortune and power anyway?" This question appeared in a report from a religious association under the heading "Ethical Dilemmas." The account referred to God's words to Abraham: "I shall make a great nation out of you and I shall bless you and I will make your name great."—.
While noting that "ambition should not be pursued to the detriment of others," the write-up quoted a famous first-century rabbi, who said: "If I am not for myself, who will be for me?" and then concluded: "If we do not realize our potential no one else will." Does ambition present a dilemma for those who desire to serve God? What is involved in realizing our potential? Is it wrong to be ambitious? What is the Bible's viewpoint?Was Abraham Ambitious?
Abraham is noted in the Bible as an outstanding man of faith. () God was not encouraging Abraham to be ambitious by promising that He would make a great nation out of him and make his name great. God was stating his purpose to bless mankind through Abraham, a purpose that transcended mere human aspirations.—.
In pursuing his devotion to God, Abraham left an apparently comfortable, prosperous life-style in Ur. () Later, for the sake of peace, Abraham willingly relinquished power and authority when he offered his nephew Lot the choicest part of the land in which to settle. () Nothing in the Bible record portrays Abraham as an ambitious man. Rather, his faith, obedience, and humility are what endeared him to God as a real "friend."—.A Different View of Rank, Fame, and Power
Ambition is defined as an "ardent desire for rank, fame, or power." In ancient times King Solomon had rank, fame, and power, along with great wealth. () Interestingly, though, he did not set out with an ardent desire for them. When Solomon inherited the kingship, God invited him to ask for anything he wished. Solomon humbly asked for an obedient heart and the discernment needed to rule God's chosen people. () Later, after describing the full extent of the wealth and power he had come to possess, Solomon declared that "everything was vanity and a striving after wind."—.

Given how critical it is to have integrated patient, member, or customer data, many organizations have invested millions of dollars into an IBM Initiate solution and performed multipletuning efforts to ensure its accuracy. But each of these organizations faces the same challenge: thousands or millions of "suspect duplicates" that must be manually reviewed and resolved . These "suspect duplicates" are flagged by IBM Initiate for manual review whenever its algorithms cannot determine whether two records match—often due to demographic data that is inconsistent between the two records (for example, one has an old address and maiden name, another has a new address and a married name, but both share the same SSN).thousands or millions of "suspect duplicates" that must be manually reviewed and resolved
