After a verdict, jurors often tell you what they think you want to hear, or filter their comments through social considerations. Where allowed by law, telephone interviews by a Tsongas consultant allow jurors to relate their true feelings. You can discover why and how the jury reached its verdict, and develop insight and strategy for future trials and similar cases.

In some cases, post-verdict juror interviews allow you to compile information that may be relevant in an appeal.
An experienced interviewer uses a systematic protocol of open-ended questions designed to elicit information about the process and content of the jury deliberations as experienced by each juror. Both general and case-specific items are covered. Jurors are interviewed individually either by telephone or in-person. The post-trial juror interview should be done as soon as possible after the completion of the trial, while the case facts and deliberation process is still fresh in jurors' minds. Some courts prohibit or restrict post-trial juror interviews. Care must be taken to ensure all local and state rules are followed, and juror's rights are respected at all times.
Counsel is provided with a report summarizing the findings, and the nature of the contact of each juror (interviewed, refused, unable to contact, etc.). Verbatim transcripts of each juror's post trial interview responses to the debriefing questions may be provided at additional cost, if requested.
Counsel provides case-relevant information, a list of witnesses, case events of concern and the names and telephone numbers of the jurors to be contacted for interview. This requires a decision to be made prior to the conclusion of the trial so that accurate information can be obtained. Counsel also works closely with Tsongas to assure coverage of key issues in the juror interview protocol.

How can I update my Nano S?
Please refer to our
Frye Jayden Button Leather amp; Sue cheap prices AqV3SC
for step by step instructions.
What if my Ledger Nano S displays ? Try disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable to continue. If the USB cable is not fully inserted, the authenticity check of the MCU will return this particular error during the startup process of the device.
What to do if I am stuck somewhere in the update?
Please carefully read the
free shipping professional sale online cheap Salvatore Ferragamo Tamina RoundToe Pumps buy cheap newest geniue stockist cheap price hot sale for sale FGvUoBbM
. Still having issues?
Is it mandatory to update my Nano S firmware? Updating your Nano S to firmware 1.4 is strongly recommended, but there is no mechanism to force you to upgrade.
What will happen if I do not update my Nano S? We strongly recommend updating the firmware of your Nano S. However, there are no significant consequences if you do not update your device at once. The Ledger Wallet applications will notify you to update your device, but you are free to ignore them and the device will continue to work normally.
What is this update for?
The update to firmware version 1.4.2 introduces user experience as well as minor security improvements. For more information regarding the specific changes, please refer to the
discount best sale marketable for sale Eytys Leather LowTop Sneakers Cheapest online genuine cheap online official cheap price WDwdDBp
dedicated to this firmware release.
Do I have to upgrade my Nano S if I am not using it? There is no necessity to install the firmware update immediately. It is no problem if you do not have immediate access to your device or if you do not plan to use it in the short term. You will always be able to update to the firmware later, whenever you decide to use your device.
What exactly are the security vulnerabilities discovered? Should I be concerned? Please refer to our blog post concerning the release of firmware version 1.4.2.
Is it possible to downgrade from 1.4 to 1.3.1? No. For security reasons, it is not possible to downgrade the firmware of your Nano S.
How can I enter my PIN code after the update? If your PIN code includes less than 8 digits, please type in your PIN code as usual, and use the right / left button until you reach a check mark (✓). Then, confirm your PIN code pressing both buttons.
Why didn't
my Ledger Nano S prompt to check the Identifier?
As explained in step 5 of the
Y3 Woven LowTop Sneakers low shipping fee cheap online sale popular vH5UwsaZz9
, the Ledger Nano S shows three screens after each other in a slider. If the right button is pressed before the other screens are shown, the firmware update will be installed before you could have checked the version number or the identifier. Please check that firmware version 1.4.2 and MCU version 1.5 are correctly installed .
How many applications can I have on my Nano S with 1.4? One of the user experience gains of the 1.4 firmware update is the possibility to install many more applications on the Nano S. The global limitation is related to the small amount of memory available on the device. The new firmware does not expand the memory, but optimizes the size of Bitcoin related applications.
Many cryptocurrency projects are clones of the Bitcoin blockchain that share most of the signature code (such as Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Dash, Zcash, Komodo, Stratis, Posw, Pivx, Viacoin, Vertcoin, Stealthcoin, Digibyte, Qtum, Hcash...). By refactoring all common codes in a library, hosted in the Bitcoin app, we were able to significantly reduce the size of the other apps. This enables the installation of up to 18 applications that share this library.
However, installing applications with a completely different code base will still limit the amount of apps to 4 or 5, for instance:Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, FIDO U2F and Password Manager.
So, the types of applications installed lead to varying capacities. Most users may expect to seea capacity of 10 to 12 applications.
Will I need my 24 word seed during the update?
Most users do not need to restore their Nano S after the update, and thus do not require access to their 24 word seed. The seed will only be wiped when updating a Nano S that currently has firmware version 1.2 or lower installed. You can
Sergio Rossi Flocked Platform Pumps visa payment online 2014 newest LKZNPhW
on your device before updating to 1.4.2.
However, make sure your 24 recovery words are
Stella McCartney Canvas Platform Pumps for nice sale latest buy cheap fashionable clearance wholesale price r17oEU
before starting the update.
Could I lose my funds during this update?
Funds will not be at risk as long as the 24 word seed is properly backed-up and securely stored. Carefully follow the steps in the
Roberto Del Carlo Leather Ankle Strap Wedges free shipping original explore Yys4t
Only users updating from firmware version 1.2 or lower will have their seed wiped during the process and will need to restore their 24 word seed after the update.
Alwaysmake sure your 24 recovery words are properly backed-up and securely stored before starting the update.
Is this firmware version compatible with Nano / Unplugged / HW.1? No, this update only applies to Ledger Nano S devices.
Is this new version compatible with Ledger Blue? No, this update only applies to Ledger Nano S devices.
What if I am stuck on the message on my Nano S? If your Nano S stays stuck displaying , and the Ledger Manager shows the message, then:
What to do with issues on Windows?
If you are using Windows 7 , you will have to finalize the update on another computer (not running Windows 7). We are working on a fix, but meanwhile this is the only option.
On other systems (Mac/Linux) , if you are having trouble then the only solution is to try again.
The update server processes the download requests in a queue. The best is to wait when nothing seems to be happening. If it fails, then retry a few moments later. We thank you for your patience.
If you are still having a hard time updating, make sure that no other applications are running on your computer (such as Parity, other crypto wallets or a firewall app).
I have an issue that is not described neither in the update guide, nor in this FAQ article Please contact our support team and describe your problem in as much detail as possible.
Physicians at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore have performed the first total penis and scrotum transplant in the world, the hospital announced on Monday.
The surgery, which took place over 14 hours on March 26, was performed by a team of nine plastic surgeons and two urological surgeons. The penis and scrotum (without testicles) and partial abdominal wall came from a deceased donor. The recipient is a military veteran who was injured by an improvised explosive device (IED) blast in Afghanistan and wishes to remain anonymous. The hospital said he has recovered from the surgery and will be discharged from the hospital this week.
"It's a real mind-boggling injury to suffer, it is not an easy one to accept," the transplant recipient

The procedure is the second penis transplant to be publicly reported in the United States, but the first full transplant of this kind. In 2016, surgeons at Massachusetts General Hospital

Researchers have identified what they are calling an Early Bird code injection technique used by the Iranian group APT33 to burrow the TurnedUp malware inside infected systems while evading anti-malware tools.
The Early Bird code injection technique, highlighted in a Wednesday report by Cyberbit, takes advantage of the application threading process that happens when a program executes on a computer. In other words, attackers inject malware code into legitimate process threads in an effort to hide malicious code inside commonly seen and legitimate computer processes.
This process injection method is not unique. Anti-malware tools have created a technique called hooking that can easily spot when this type of technique is used by an adversary.
"Hooks are code sections that are inserted by legitimate anti-malware products when a process starts running. They are placed on specific Windows API calls. The goal of the hooks is to monitor API calls with their parameters to find malicious calls or call patterns," Cyberbit explains.
To avoid this hooking, Cyberbit said, APT33 cybercriminals have created an Early Bird technique to circumvent the anti-malware hooking process.
The Early Bird technique "loads the malicious code in a very early stage of thread initialization, before many security products place their hooks – which allows the malware to perform its malicious actions without being detected," said Cyberbit's report, written by malware analyst Hod Gavriel, and principal software engineer Boris Erbesfeld.
Cyberbit said Early Bird code injection technique has been used in an array of known malware strains,including TurnedUp. The malware is variant of the notorious Carberp banking malware and DorkBot malware, researchers said. According to FireEye , which first discovered TurnedUp in September 2017, the malware is capable of data exfiltration, creating reverse shells, taking screenshots and gathering system information.

The people who live on and along Crescent Ridge Road in Holt have watched much of the community rebound and thrive after the April 27, 2011, tornado. The same can't be said for the residential area in between these Holt landmarks. Homes that have been repaired or rebuilt scatter the stark landscape, but the once-dense community has an atmosphere of abandonment and neglect, residents say.
The people who live on and along Crescent Ridge Road in Holt have watched much of the community rebound and thrive after the April 27, 2011, tornado.
On Friday, Brown's Nursery was filled with spring plants and flowers. Down the street, kids at Holt Elementary were no doubt antsy as they soldiered through their last day before spring break. Customers were in and out of The Lucky Dollar, a convenience store that recently reopened with an upgraded brick facade and modern look.
The same can't be said for the residential area in between these Holt landmarks. Homes that have been repaired or rebuilt scatter the stark landscape, but the once-dense community has an atmosphere of abandonment and neglect, residents say.
That's because of the approximately two dozen boarded-up and falling-down houses that don't look much different than when the sun set on April 27, 2011.
The homes aren't owned by people who can't afford or chose not to make repairs. They've been owned by taxpayers since the Alabama Department of Transportation spent nearly $4 million to buy them to make way for a proposed highway to connect Interstate 20/59 to U.S. Highway 82 in Northport. Many residents question why they're still standing, nearly two years after the storm.
"It looks like a war zone," said Holt resident John Wathen, a longtime vocal opponent of the bypass and, as Hurricane Creekkeeper, an advocate for the protection, preservation and restoration of the Hurricane Creek watershed. "We deserve better."
The department began making offers for the properties in summer 2011 and completed the last purchase in fall 2012.
ALDOT Fifth Division Chief Engineer David Kemp said that non-structural debris has been removed from the area and that plans have been made to demolish the structures this spring.
Trees still lie across holes they tore in roofs. Stray dogs, puppies and a colony of cats have made homes in the damaged structures, and residents suspect a few people have, too. Wathen said that he has been inside a home where he saw mattresses made up with sheets, surrounded by empty beer and prescription bottles, books and clothing.
ALDOT bought 62 tracts of land which contain approximately 25 partial structures because they are in the right-of-way of the proposed eastern bypass.
The four-lane divided highway to connect Interstate 20/59 near Coaling and Cottondale to U.S. 82 on the north side of the Black Warrior River was first proposed in 1988 and now carries an estimated $250 million price tag. There is no set date for the bypass construction because of uncertain funding, Kemp said.
ALDOT bought the properties with permission of the Federal Highway Administration from owners who were willing to sell, he said.
"ALDOT has been maintaining property and making weekly inspection throughout the acquisition process," Kemp wrote in an email to The Tuscaloosa News. "Structures have been secured and maintenance forces have removed non-structural debris from the area. ALDOT is required to use federal guidelines in plan preparation and bid advertisement. Plans are complete and bid documents [for demolition contracts] are prepared for advertisement at this time."
Kevin Skelton, his wife and teenage son rebuilt their damaged home just off Crescent Ridge, next door to where his wife grew up. He said that he first saw signs posted by ALDOT advertising offers through the government's hardship acquisition program when his family returned to their house three days after the tornado.
The family declined ALDOT's offer.
"We didn't take the offer because it would have put us in a worse position financially," he said.
The house next door to his and the mobile home next to that still have trees on the roofs. From his front yard, he can see several uninhabited homes, including one that is leaning to the side and has an open roof. Beer bottles and fast food bags litter many of the yards. He said he fears that curious children could be injured if they wander into one of the houses.
"If they would just get this cleaned up, it would look a lot better for the people who stayed," he said. "You get used to it, knowing that you can't do anything about it. We've called to complain, and have been led on that something is going to happen soon, but nothing does. They're evasive and have never given us an actual date. It's frustrating that the highway department won't do what they need to do, but they just won't do it."
Wathen, who has criticized ALDOT for years regarding the bypass, believes that the department has left the houses in disrepair to devalue the property.
"It is my opinion that that is exactly what is happening here. That they're driving property values down to force people to sell." he said. "There are some new houses that have been built near Keene Drive and Sixth Street, but nobody new is going to come to our community as long as ALDOT is allowed to degrade it like this."
Lucky Dollar owner Mike Bennett, echoed Skelton and Wathen when he brought up the issue of safety.
"We've got an elementary school less than a quarter mile away," he said. "It's also a health concern. You've got these houses with the roofs open and rain water getting in. There's no telling what kind of mold or mildew is in there. There are probably rats running around."
Bennett recently reopened the store and is planning an official grand reopening soon.
"Other than myself, I don't know of anyone who wants to locate a business somewhere that's half blown-down like this. It's detrimental for the economic development around here."
He said he was glad to learn that ALDOT has planned to demolish the structures in upcoming months.

Ruth Wilson-Francisco is a free bird. She flew the nest long ago but her heritage is bound to this area. She knows when to migrate home and always returns there.
Wilson-Francisco, 52, was born in 1960 to Arthur and Esther Wilson, one of the oldest families in Montezuma County. The roots of her family tree have been firmly planted here since 1884. She is a great-granddaughter of Gus and Eva Stevenson, the second couple to marry in Montezuma County.
Today, she lives in her grandmothers home, built in 1948 by her uncle, Paul Wilson. It sits along Road 16 just outside Yellow Jacket on 320 acres of the familys homestead.
The Chinese Beauty Bush, planted by her grandmother, still remains in the ground and a few of the original windows have not yet been replaced.
Like the vigorous bush, Wilson-Francisco is a part of this home and its history a long and loving family history.
I am so lucky to have this heritage, Wilson-Francisco says. Even now, looking through old photos, there are some faces I dont recognize. I wish I could ask my grandmother about them.
She knows enough to weave splendid stories of history through the years. The stories of her familys prosperity pour out of her. She reveals some of her own childhood tales as well.
Wilson-Francisco is one of six children raised on the farm near Yellow Jacket. Like most farm kids, chores were done before any fun could be had.
Wilson-Francisco recalls: Mom was a teacher so education was important. Chores had to be done after homework so we couldnt watch TV until five. We would watch Hogans Heroes and Gilligans Island. Then Daddy watched the evening news.
She fondly remembers the record player being the center of attention in the home. Television had limitations, but the kids listened to records at all times of the day. Classical music, opera, folk and country were prime players.
Esther was a song bird, always humming or carrying a tune. Art could play any instrument he got his hands on. The children took piano lessons and they all played in the school bands. They were surrounded by music.
Esther and Art wanted nothing more than to have well-rounded, educated children. They pushed their kids to get a higher education.
So it came as no surprise when Wilson-Francisco left for college to pursue music and education. At 18, she went to the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley to study music. The first time away from home created a trying time. I called my mother every Saturday for 30 minutes, Wilson-Francisco says. I cried the whole time. I was so homesick. It got better but that first quarter was the hardest.
She continued at UNC for a year then transferred to York College in Nebraska then to Abilene Christian College in Texas. She received an associates in liberal arts from York and a bachelors in education from Abilene. She came home for a year and half before entering the graduate program at the University of Colorado at Boulder. There she got her masters in voice performance as a lyrically trained soprano.
Again, she migrated home. The Yellow Jacket home always called her back.
I never stopped missing my parents when I was away. They always said I was the homebody, she says chuckling.
Or maybe it was where she found her strength. A time of revival before her next stop.
In 1994, she would exit for the big city New York City. The move, though encouraged, was completely impulsive. While in New York, she sang in Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Radio City Music Hall and neighborhood churches. She did everything she could to get by between singing contracts. She was a vocal coach, worked temporary office jobs and sang in nightclubs. And the work was beginning to pay off. Her career was opening up and Broadway didnt seem far off.
But there was one place she couldnt live without.
City life may have been exciting, but the country roots were still deep.
I got to thinking and I didnt want to grow old there, she says of New York. The city is a fabulous place to live but its also very lonely. I wanted to spend time with my parents while I still had them.
She would leave the homestead once more to live in Santa Fe, N.M., Green Bay, Wis. and Denver. But a startling phone call would end her travels for good.
On May 7, 2003, her 77-year old mother had taken a nasty fall. She was airlifted to Denvers St. Marys Hospital with a broken neck.
I moved home for a month. Daddy had developed dementia. He had no idea what to do but he knew something was wrong. My brothers were too overwhelmed and my sister had a job in Denver, Wilson-Francisco says.
This would be her last move home. She collected her belongings in Denver, then assembled her thoughts and prepared emotionally for what was ahead and what would be her new role.
Until you are a caregiver, you have no idea what it will be like or what to prepare for. You jump in at the deep end and dont know how to swim.
She came home on July 4, 2003. A year and a half later she lost her father. She took care of her mother for the next seven years. In 2011, her mother passed away just six weeks shy of her 85th birthday.
I miss my parents everyday, she says solemnly. Thats the hardest job you will ever love and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Taking care of them was my life.
Wilson-Franciscos Yellow Jacket property is long and winding. Old tractors and cars dots the landscape, and examples of the farms heritage.
She is currently remodeling the home so that she and her husband can live there full time.
She always returned to the home and now, its where she wants to remain.
I want to die here, in the same house Daddy did. I want to have more reunions, give music lessons, throw card parties. I want to be living in the area at 97 like my Aunt Marge, she says.
She sees her loss as a chance to gain. A chance to honor her familys memories and legacy by completing her flight where it began.

Early-morning Keene fire put out quickly
By MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
KEENE - A two-alarm house fire on Old Walpole Road was quickly put out by firefighters early Wednesday morning after a passerby called 911.
The electrical fire started outside, said Keene Fire Chief Gary Lamoureux.
"A passerby spotted the (electrical) sparks coming off the wire," Lamoureux said. "He called 911, then notified the homeowner."
The husband and wife who were in the two-story home as well as their dog were uninjured.The fire started in the electrical wires between the house and the electrical meter on the outside of the house.
From the outside, the fire travelled up into the eaves. "Once it got up there, it traveled into the attic space," Lamoureux said. "Once it gets into the attic, it will travel quickly."
Firefighters cut a hole in the roof and pulled down the second-floor ceiling to get at the fire.There is about $30,000 to $40,000 worth of structural and cosmetic damage to the Gambrel-style home, Lamoureux said.
The fire was toned out at 1:18 a.m., and firefighters were on the scene at 1:25 a.m. The fire was declared under control at 1:58 a.m.

Further readings for the Sony Alpha 580
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
A noise benchmark of 187 digital cameras by Peter van den Hamer
DxOMark Camera Sensor is a raw benchmark for camera bodies by DxO Labs. The benchmark is "raw" because it measures image quality using Raw output files. It is also raw as DxO's data can be used to cook up camera reviews that cover more aspects than image quality.
Committed to retaining its sales lead in numerous countries, Canon views its new EOS 650D as a strategically important product. What improvements can we see with respect to its sensor, which Canon claims is new? How does this latest camera in the EOS line compare with its predecessor, the EOS 600D, and with its rivals, the Nikon D3200 and the Sony SLT-A65? The answers lie in our sensor test results for the 650D.
Today Nikon announced the long-awaited D800 with a 36 MPix full-frame sensor. This new high-end DSLR has many promising aspects.
When the Sony A77 was announced a couple of weeks ago as a replacement for the Sony Alpha 700, Sony's semi-professional APS-C camera, we were all very impressed by its specifications. So we were really excited to see how it would perform in our tests.
Here are our results.
Sony announced this "Translucent Mirror Technology" reflex camera in early June 2011.
The aforementioned technology, already featured on the Sony Alpha 33 and Sony Alpha 55 consists in allowing you to shoot on continuous-shooting mode (or burst mode) without the shutter-induced strobe effect. In layman's terms you do not see the shutter occlusion in the viewfinder.
Here are the image quality results for Sony's newest member of the NEX family.
The NEX C3 is a Hybrid with an SLR-sized sensor. This sensor is a newly developed 16.2 megapixels APS-C dubbed "Exmor" that has long been rumored to be the same as the one powering the acclaimed Sony A580 and the Pentax K5. In theory, we should get the same IQ as the aforementioned DSLRs with just an entry-level camera. Let's see if this is the case…
The Nikon D5100 replaces the D5000 in Nikon's lineup; it finds its place right below the Nikon D7000, according to Nikon's marketing the D90 is still positioned between the D5100 and the D7000, however the spec sheet and the performances of the D5100 make this hard to believe.
This is because the D5100 shares the same Sony 16 megapixels sensor as the D7000. The major difference between the two bodies being the AF: 11 points with 3D tracking for the D5100 (presumably the "old" MultiCam 1000 already used on the D90) versus the 39 points with 3D tracking now used on the D7000.
Sony alpha 580 vs Sony alpha 55 vs Canon EOS 60D vs Pentax K5 vs Nikon D7000: K5, D7000 and A580 come first

Hassan's law: If you don't like it, ignore itEDITORIAL
August 15. 2013 10:19PM
Gov. Maggie Hassan seems to be fitting right in with the Obama First Rule of Governance: If the law doesn't allow it, ignore the law.
That clearly is the case with the jumbled mess that is Obamacare. Before he flew off to another golfing vacation on Martha's Vineyard, the President explained why he was ignoring the law as to when businesses would come under it. That was supposed to happen soon, but the rules and regulations are both confusing and bad for business. So Obama just decided to ignore the law and put things off for a year.
The President said that in a "normal political environment" he would have called the Speaker of the House and found a way to "tweak" the law. But, he said, the Republicans don't like Obamacare, so he just had to act on his own.
This is not only scary, it is bogus. The House had already passed the "Authority for Mandate Delay Act," which, if the Senate went along, would give Obama the legal authority to do what he instead did by himself.
Here in New Hampshire, there is a law requiring that a Health Care Reform Oversight Committee set all policies dealing with Obamacare.
But when the committee exercised its authority, Gov. Hassan let the state insurance commissioner ignore the committee and the law.
The committee had rejected a proposal for the state to spend millions of federal taxpayer dollars on an elaborate and invasive PR campaign for Obamacare. It would include government-hired flunkies going door-to-door in some cases to explain how great Obamacare will be.
Insurance Commissioner Roger Sevigny says something called the New Hampshire Health Plan, which he described as a quasi-government body that operates the state's high risk pool, could accept the money.
Gov. Hassan thinks that's great. Her spokesman said it was the Republican legislators' fault anyway, because they had blocked the Insurance Department from getting the money.
Well, yes, that is what the duly-authorized committee, working under the law, did.
State Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley, R-Wolfeboro, who is a member of the Health Care Reform Advisory Committee, agrees that the Hassan-blessed move runs afoul of the law.
And if Gov. Hassan and President Obama are willing to ignore the law when the law doesn't suit them, what other things have they got in mind?

Crime in Nashua has attention of lawmakersBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
September 12. 2013 10:49PM
NASHUA — State representatives from Nashua are speaking out about the recent crime spree in the city and how to approach the problem.
One of those officials, state Rep. Mariellen MacKay, says now is the time to take back Nashua and help end the streak of violence before it gets worse. She is ready to help in whatever way is possible — even if that means approaching the governor's office for assistance.
Speaking to the Board of Aldermen and the Nashua Police Commission this week, MacKay said there are residents who fear for their safety.
Dealing with six homicides and 24 armed robberies so far this year, Police Chief John Seusing says he doesn't have an answer as to why there has been such an uptick in violent crime.
"That is very, very troubling for us, and should be concerning for the community," agreed Seusing, who stressed that the department is working around the clock to resolve and prevent these incidents.
When reached by phone on Thursday, several members of the Nashua delegation shared differing thoughts on why Nashua is being plagued with more violent crimes, and exactly what might be the appropriate action.
"This is getting a little bizarre. The people in Nashua are worried about it," said state Rep. Kenneth Gidge. "But the police are taking this personal now, and the people responsible for this are not going to get away with it."
Gidge maintained that Nashua has one of the best police departments in the nation, saying his primary concern is for the store clerks who are getting robbed at gunpoint, including this week's armed robbery at Jeannotte's Market.
"Don't play hero," he warned those working at local convenience stores and gas stations who might be subjected to a future robbery.
The increased crime in Nashua is a very important topic, and must be discussed openly by numerous agencies, according to Gidge. This is an ideal time for the delegation to find out what funding — if any — may be available for the city. If there are grants that might be available for the police department , this is something that needs to be identified and sought by Nashua's state representatives, he added.
Although he praised the police department for its hard work, Gidge said if the armed robberies continue to take place in Nashua, the police force will come under significant criticism.
Rep. Jack Kelley, a former federal law enforcement official, had a slightly different take on the situation.
Kelley says he is unsure whether the Nashua delegation can do anything to alleviate the crimes, explaining it is really up to the police department and the citizens who should be providing tips and reporting suspicious activity.
"I am not sure providing additional (police) officers would help very much," said Kelley, acknowledging it might possibly assist with overtime issues.
Although there have been 10 arrests from the 24 armed robberies this year, Gidge says his concern is that one person may be responsible for such a large amount of the crimes. He stressed, however, that the police department's undercover unit has become very effective in solving these matters.
"I think people have a right to be alarmed, but the reality is that the highest amount of crimes against persons are behind closed doors," said state Rep. Sylvia Gale, a retired child protection and victim advocate in New Hampshire. "This uptick in crime is happening across the state. I don't think that Nashua is unique to this. This really is unprecedented here — it is an aberration."
Gale says she still feels safe in Nashua despite the surge in crime, noting the city police are highly professional and investigating the cases thoroughly.
"It is terrible that things happen like this in every area, but I think there has been an alarmist mentality. I have heard it myself this summer," said Gale, reminding people to use common sense when it comes to protecting themselves. "People need to put it into context."
So far this week, there have been three armed robberies in the Gate City. Jeannotte's Market on Courtland Street, Dunkin' Donuts on East Hollis Street and Motel 6 on Spit Brook Road have all been robbed in the past four days.

Dinged: Windham brings back dodgeballEDITORIAL
June 20. 2013 11:15PM
Dodgeball is back in the Windham public schools. Sort of. The kids can play it; they just can't call it dodgeball. Common sense could not push political correctness all the way out.
Back in March, the school board voted 3-1 to ban dodgeball and other "human target" games. Many in the public were outraged, and they let the board members know. "I've had all of George Carlin's famous words on my answering machine," board member Stephanie Wimmer said. "I had to take my phone number off the district website."
The outcry led to a study committee, which produced a report recommending that certain "human target" games be played in physical education classes, but that children who did not enjoy such games be allowed to opt out. Fair enough. The report also recommended changing the names of the games. "Slaughter" became "Numero Uno." Variants of "dodgeball" will be played and known by friendlier names, such as "Rescue 911" or "Doctor, Doctor," "Rescue Me" and "Cageball." There is one called "Four Corner Invasion" and another called "Star Wars," so the scrubbing of violent imagery was incomplete.
Despite the mostly PC names, this reversal is a victory for kids and parents. For kids, it restores a game that develops dexterity, eye-hand coordination, agility and timing in a highly entertaining and competitive way. Competition is good for children, and elimination games like dodgeball provide a safe, constructive way for children to channel their naturally aggressive or competitive tendencies.
For parents, it shows what can be achieved when the community holds the school board accountable for its actions. Parents should never forget that school boards answer to them, not the other way around. The dodgeball flip-flop is an example that could, and should, inspire parents in other communities.

Prosecutors challenge man's self-defense claimBy DALE VINCENT
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 03. 2013 8:10PM
MANCHESTER - Tony Hebert, 28, whose second-degree murder trial is now scheduled for August, flashed a big smile and put his hand over his heart upon seeing supporters in the gallery Friday morning in Hillsborough County Superior Court North.
Hebert was there for a hearing at which prosecutors challenged the defense notices of intent to plead self-defense in the July 17, 2011, shooting of Pablo Samniego.
Hebert's scheduled September 2012 trial for the shooting death of 21-year-old Samniego had to be rescheduled when his private attorney quit last August for lack of payment.
Hebert, formerly of 692 Rimmon St., was originally represented by public defenders, but objected to several of the appointed attorneys. His family hired a private attorney, who withdrew after telling Judge David Garfunkel that he had not been paid. His new attorneys are public defenders Eric Raymond and Dorothy Graham.
Jury selection for Hebert's second-degree murder trial is now set for Aug. 5.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeffery Strelzin and Assistant Attorney General Diana Fenton were in court Friday to challenge Hebert's four alternative theory notices of intent to claim self defense.
Police have said Samniego was walking with a friend that Saturday morning, just before 3 a.m., when a car pulled up next to them in the area of Ferry and South Main streets and, after a brief conversation, the man in the car shot Samniego in the face.
Samniego's companion ran across South Main Street to call 911 from the 7-11 store, but Samniego was dead when police arrived.
The November 2011 Hillsborough County North Grand Jury indicted Hebert on two charges of second-degree murder. One of the charges accuses Hebert of recklessly causing Samniego's death, the other alleges he knowingly caused Samniego's death by shooting him in the face.
Fenton said the defense notices of self defense aren't sufficiently specific, that they do not articulate what actions the victim took to provoke the defendant to shoot. If the intent notices aren't amended with specifics, they should be stricken or eliminated, say prosecutors.
Raymond, who was appointed with Graham to defend Hebert, insisted: "We have set forth sufficient grounds."
Raymond said information gathered from witnesses and police statements supports the defense contention of self-defense, that Hebert felt threatened by Samniego's aggressive behavior.
But Fenton countered that no witness says the victim had a weapon. She said the defense notice is "factually insufficient."
The 2011 shooting occurred before passage of the stand-your-ground law, which permits use of deadly force anywhere a person feels threatened, without the need to retreat.

Chances are, if you're a regular reader of this blog you've read (or perhaps even posted) an incredibly vitriolic comment or two accusing the writer of the despicable crime of spoilers.
Well, here's a surprise twist: Spoilers might actually make reading stories more enjoyable, according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of California San Diego. They gave their subjects short stories they hadn't read before, spoiling one group of readers but not others. So for example, when the assignment was Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," some readers were informed about its joltingly morbid ending. Others weren't.
It turns out that most of the people for whom the story was "spoiled" reported enjoying it more than those who read it unprepared. This doesn't surprise TV critic James Poniewozik, who stood up for spoilers in his Time magazine column last week.
"It's much more terrifying to know that something horrible is about to happen than not to know it's about to happen," he tells NPR, citing Alfred Hitchock's theory of suspense.
Poniewozik points out that increased cultural outrage over spoilers has a lot to do with today's technology. The way we watch TV has changed. More people delay watching their shows, turning to Hulu or their DVRs right as others are taking to Twitter and Facebook to write about, and often spoil, the episode.
East Coasters routinely ruin big reveals for their friends lagging behind in other time zones. Plus, Poniewozik says, in a TV world desperately competing for ratings, the success of ABC's Lost created an over-reliance on shocking twists.
Spoiler defenders point out that great writing and well-developed characters can't be spoiled. That's why people read Anna Karenina even though they know about, um, the train.
But Dan Kois disagrees. He's written about spoilers extensively for New York magazine and Slate, and he argues that you can't compare literature to TV when it comes to spoilers.
"I feel like a novel cannot offer the same kind of visceral shock and pleasure that a great plot twist in a visual medium usually can," he says.
Spoilers can compensate in other ways, though, at least according to movie director Kevin Smith, a self-proclaimed spoiler lover. (Spoilers is even the name of his movie review show on Hulu.) He's a classic fanboy; a voracious consumer of all information about the shows and movies he cares about.
One time, Smith tells NPR, he and his wife were watching a TV show they both adored, and Smith knew a big reveal was about to happen. He'd read about it on Twitter. So he casually pretended to predict it, impressing his wife.
"You are so smart!" she exclaimed.
"But really, it had been spoiled for me," Smith admits.
If you don't want to be spoiled, Smith has a simple solution. It's so easy. Don't go on Twitter.
Twitter has 140 million active users. That's a lot. But it doesn't mean there aren't downsides to Twitter. Just ask Eddie Murphy. His death has been a trending topic at least twice. Another downside, people who spoil TV shows by tweeting their plot twists.
Spoilers might be the bane of Twitter, but NPR's Neda Ulaby has this shocking surprise ending. Spoilers may not be such a bad thing, after all.
NEDA ULABY, BYLINE: Can you imagine if Twitter had been around in 1980 when a nation collectively wondered who shot J.R.?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: It was you, Kristin, who shot J.R.
ULABY: Every "Dallas" fan on the east coast would have immediately ruined the reveal for everyone from Alabama to Alaska by Facebooking or tweeting. Spoilers have become enough of a preoccupation for a university to study them.
Psychology professor Nicholas Christenfeld of the University of California, San Diego. He examined what effect spoilers have on people's enjoyment of stories.
NICHOLAS CHRISTENFELD: So we chose various quite famous short stories, had people come in and, in one condition, we spoiled them beforehand without using the word spoiler.
ULABY: So, for example, subjects who had not already read the classic short story by Shirley Jackson would get handed "The Lottery." Some were told about its morbid conclusion in advance.
CHRISTENFELD: In this lottery, people draw to see who will stoned to death at the end.
ULABY: Appropriately, the spoiler study had a surprise twist, Christenfeld learned.
CHRISTENFELD: Spoilers are, in fact, enhancers.
ULABY: It turns out, when people knew what was going to happen, reading the story was more enjoyable. That makes sense to Time magazine television critic, James Poniewozik.
JAMES PONIEWOZIK: It's much more terrifying to know that something horrible is about to happen than not to know that it's about to happen.
ULABY: That's Alfred Hitchcock's theory of suspense, Poniewozik says. It's not like the movie, "Psycho," gets ruined when you know in advance about the shower.
ULABY: Poniewozik says people are violently against spoilers now, partly because we started to use Facebook and Twitter right when the way we watch TV began to change. Now, people wait to watch shows on their DVRs or Hulu, but they still get angry when other people talk about those shows online.
Then you've got TV writers trying to ratchet up ratings in a competitive, overcrowded landscape.
PONIEWOZIK: There is a kind of overreliance on shocking twists and big reveals.
ULABY: For that, he says, is "Lost."
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: I want you to know, Jack, you died for nothing.
ULABY: "Lost" found a subgenre of imitators that tried to hook viewers with plot twists, not great writing or characters. That's why people still read "Anna Karenina," even if they know the thing about the train.
But comparing literature and TV does not work for writer Dan Kois. His extensively investigated spoilers in New York magazine and Slate.
DAN KOIS: I feel like a novel cannot offer the same kind of visceral shock and pleasure that a great plot twist in a visual medium usually can.
ULABY: But there can be another kind of pleasure in a spoiler, says director Kevin Smith. His movie review show on Hulu is called "Spoilers."
KEVIN SMITH: I'm not one of those cats that's like, I need to be precious going in. To be honest with you, I'd want to know more. I'm voracious. I am the internet in as much as I'm like, feed me.
ULABY: Smith says a little advance knowledge can be useful.
SMITH: Me and the wife would always watch "Battlestar Galactica" and I read on Twitter in advance and, again, "Spoilers," if you still haven't watched "Battlestar Galactica," what Starbuck was.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: I told you there were angels working amongst you. When will you believe me?
SMITH: And, you know, she - oh, my God. And I took advantage of that time because, seconds before it happened, I was like, I bet you she's an angel and then, all of a sudden, they say it. And she goes, like, you're so smart. But, you know, really, it had been spoiled for me.
ULABY: When Kevin Smith does not want to be spoiled, he has a simple solution. Just stay of Twitter. Neda Ulaby, NPR News.
