STOCKTON - Police reported five shootings during a one-hour period Monday night that resulted in one person shot, three dwellings struck and three vehicles hit by bullets.
STOCKTON - Police reported five shootings during a one-hour period Monday night that resulted in one person shot, three dwellings struck and three vehicles hit by bullets.
"We are looking at the possibility of these shootings or some of them being related based on their close proximity in time and locations," Stockton police spokesman Officer Joe Silva said Tuesday.
An 18-year-old man walking near EWS Woods and William Moss boulevards about 8:50 p.m. Monday was fired upon by an occupant of a gray Ford Taurus, police said. Several rounds were fired and the man was hit, resulting in a nonlife-threatening injury that was treated at a hospital. No further information was available.
About an hour earlier, a 38-year-old resident of the 600 block of West Park Street reported he heard gunfire and realized his residence had been hit. Responding officers found shell casings outside but no information leading to an assailant.
At 8:27 p.m. in the 2100 block of Long Island Drive, a woman reported her house was hit by gunfire. Shell casings were found at the scene, and a witness reported seeing a white midsize vehicle leaving the area.
Twelve minutes later, police received a call from a 52-year-old resident of the 2100 block of Scribner Street reporting that she heard gunfire and discovered both of her vehicles had been struck. Again, shell casings were discovered, but no information was immediately available leading to a suspect.
Another shooting report came in to police during that time from a 35-year-old resident of the 2600 block of Clearfield Drive. When the resident returned home, she discovered her house and one of her vehicles had been hit by gunfire. Shell casings were found, but no information on a shooter was immediately reported.
STOCKTON - A Stockton man was arrested at his home Monday on suspicion of making rocket fuel.
San Joaquin County sheriff's deputies responded at 6:27 p.m. to a disturbance in the 1900 block of West Elmwood Avenue, where they said David Gibson, 51, was concocting a fuel mixture for a hobby rocket.
The components of the mixture, different gases that deputies did not immediately identify, are not illegal on their own. But when mixed, they are considered an explosive.
Deputies considered the mixture to be relatively powerful.
"It was a pretty good-sized rocket," sheriff's spokesman Deputy Les Garcia said.
Deputies arrested Gibson on suspicion of allegedly having the fuel mixture inside or near "a private habitation." With the fuel, the rocket is considered a destructive device.
STOCKTON - A 61-year-old Valley Springs man was killed when his car collided with a big rig on Highway 26 early Tuesday.
The California Highway Patrol reported the man was driving a two-door 1988 Nissan sedan west on the highway at an unknown speed at 5:20 a.m. A 39-year-old Maryland man driving a 2003 Kenworth tractor trailer was backing out of a driveway on the north side of the highway, and the 61-year-old struck the trailer.
The 61-year-old man was not wearing his seat belt. His identification was withheld Tuesday evening pending notification of his family.

CME Group Inc., the world's largest futures exchange, is seeing its Asian business expand 35 percent a year, driven by grains, currencies, gold, energy and financials, Chief Executive Officer Phupinder Gill said.
About 25 percent of the 12 million futures contracts traded daily come from outside the U.S., said Gill, without providing a breakdown. Volumes in Asia emanate mostly from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo, he said in an interview in Kuala Lumpur, where he is scheduled to speak today at a palm oil conference arranged by Bursa Malaysia Bhd.
CME is benefiting from sustained growth in Asia as the rest of the world struggles to regain momentum after the global financial crisis. China, the largest user of metals, energy and cooking oils, will expand 8.3 percent in the second quarter, economist estimates compiled by Bloomberg show. Palm oil trading jumped 86 percent on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives since the CME bought a 25 percent stake in 2009, according to the exchange.
"We had two people in Asia five years ago and we have 45 people in Asia now and that's not going to stop," said Gill.
The CME's strategy involves alliances with other exchanges such as Bursa Malaysia, extending education efforts, building its client base and putting products on its platform 24 hours a day that are relevant to each time zone, he said. While the focus on China is increasing and educating the client base, "access issues are going to be quite important at least for the next little while," he said.
Open interest in palm oil futures on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives climbed to a record 185,630 contracts on Jan. 23 from 98,333 contracts on Oct. 6, 2009, while so-called "foreign market demography" jumped to 31 percent in 2012 from 19 percent in 2009 as business increased after contracts moved onto the Globex electronic trading platform, the exchange said.

Rubio: GOP must show Americans a better futureBy MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 10. 2014 10:10PM
MANCHESTER - The next Republican presidential nominee must show Americans they can move up the economic ladder and not accept "the new normal" of anemic economic growth that Democrats want them to endure, potential White House hopeful Marco Rubio said this weekend.
"I want people to look at the Republican Party as the party that shows them the way to a new American century versus a Democratic Party that shows us how this is the new normal and we just have to get used to it, that the cashier at Burger King will always be a cashier, and all he or she can hope for is an increase in the minimum wage," U.S. Sen. Rubio, R-Fla., said in an interview at the New Hampshire Union Leader.
"And what we say is: No, the cashier at Burger King might be a cashier today, but he or she will be a manager tomorrow, and maybe they're paying for school so she can be a doctor in 10 years," Rubio said.
"That's what we believe and we've got to show that difference, and I hope we create a sharper difference. In that regard, I want more Americans who are struggling to believe that Republicans are about people like them."
Rubio, who appeared at two fundraisers in the first presidential primary state, said he would decide after the November midterm election whether to make a run for President.
"Of course, I have to feel like it's the right time in my life to do it," Rubio said. "I have to feel like I have a message that is not only right for the time, but that I'm willing to work for. Have a message that I'm passionate about that's going to allow me to get up at 5 in the morning and get in a rental car and cross the state back and forth in a 19-hour day.
"If you're just running because you want to be famous, that's going to get boring real fast," Rubio said. "You've got to be passionate about what you're doing."
Rubio gained national attention when he co-sponsored a controversial immigration bill that would toughen border security and enforcement measures while denying federal benefits to illegal immigrants.
Ian Sams, regional press secretary for the Democratic National Committee, said that "Rubio has paid dearly, in political terms" for his immigration stance.
Rubio said "we made some progress, but I think the key sticking point right now is very simple, and that is how can we verify enforcement is happening, because until you do that, I don't believe you'll have the political support to deal with those who are here illegally."
Rubio said he doesn't understand the logic behind why the U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) withheld the names of six individuals arrested in New Hampshire during a 2011 federal crackdown on criminal activity involving illegal immigrants.
"Why is that controversial other than in the agency?" asked Rubio. "I mean the agency has made it controversial...."
The New Hampshire Union Leader went to court to get the names, and a federal appeals court last month ruled ICE must release them. Rubio said the names should be made public.
He also said President Obama "made a terrible mistake" when he "decided that anyone who didn't agree with him wasn't just wrong; they were bad."
Rubio said he opposes an Internet sales tax and would like cuts made in federal regulations and corporate tax rates.
Answering a question about Americans wanting politicians in Washington to compromise and work better together, Rubio said he compromised while serving as Florida's speaker of the House.
"On many occasions, I had to do things that weren't as good as I wanted them to be but were better than we had right now and was willing to do that. I think where you go too far is when you abandon your principles. I'm willing to compromise on ideas. Where I think you can't compromise is on principles, and the reason why is because people elect you on those principles, and they expect you to follow through on principles. On ideas, I think there is flexibility on how you can accomplish things, and I always believe that if you are making things better, truly better, not cosmetically better, it's something you should be willing to work with people on."
Rubio said Americans aren't just frustrated by legislators not getting new laws passed.
"I think the real frustration with Washington is it doesn't seem plugged in to what life is like for real people in the real world on a daily basis," he said. "We fight and argue over things that most people are not worrying about at night before they go to bed or in the morning when they're making their coffee."

Attorneys sparred over the definition of custody and application of the Miranda rights during a suppression hearing for 26-year-old murder suspect Luther Hampson on Wednesday.
The defense is trying to suppress a taped interrogation with Hampson, arguing a Montezuma County Sherriff's Office detective violated the accused's constitutional rights by continuing the interview after Hampson invoked his right to remain silent.
Hampson is accused of murdering fellow Dolores resident Jonathan Hayes, 27, whose body was found by hikers Jan. 14, 2012 near Dolores.
In the more than 75-minute taped interview played for the court, MCSO detective Tyson Cox told Hampson near the beginning of the interview that he was free to leave at any time.
Katie Telfer, one of Hampson's attorneys, questioned whether Hampson was in fact offered an opportunity to leave since Cox was often between the suspect and the door during the interview.
She pointed out that at one point Cox moved his chair within touching distance of her client, making it impossible for him to leave unless he was to "go through" the detective or climb over a desk.
About 20 minutes into the interview, Cox read Hampson his Miranda rights, indicating Hampson's right to remain silent and his right to have an attorney present.
Hampson declined the attorney offer but said he wished to remain silent. Cox pressed him on this issue, testifying that he was not sure what Hampson was requesting and was attempting to clarify what the suspect wanted.
Cox testified that the questions stopped, but Hampson kept talking.
"Tell me what happened to Chub (Hayes), Luther," Cox was heard saying in the taped interview. "If something got out of hand tell me what happened."
Hampson replied that he did not know, but Cox, with his voice rising, said the defendant did know.
"I am telling you it will be better when this is over with," Cox said. "We are talking like men because that is what men do. Quit lying to me. I am not buying that (expletive) story of yours. Tell me the truth, and quit lying to me."
Hampson replied that he was done with the interview, but Cox continued to question him.
"Let it go. Let's talk about it," Cox said.
For effect, Cox slammed his hand on the table during the interview, saying under oath that he did it to get Hampson's attention.
Telfer wanted to know why Cox never asked her client if he was willing to waive his Miranda rights and instead asked if he wanted to move forward with the statement.
Hampson asked the detective what he wanted, and Cox said he wanted a yes or no answer.
Telfer questioned Cox on why he did not ask Hampson if he was waiving his right to remain silent, and the detective said this is how he questions suspects. He added it is not his standard practice to give suspects a written Miranda rights form and instead reads from a department issued card.
Telfer, in her argument to the court on why all or part of the interview should be suppressed, used portions of the tape to bolster her argument.
She said Hampson once said he wanted to go home. He also invoked his right to remain silent and said he was not going to say anything at that time. He said he was done talking and also replied that if the detective did not believe him, then maybe he should get an attorney.
When Hampson stood to leave toward the end of the meeting Cox told him to sit down, saying he would have to be escorted out of the locked sheriff's office since it was past closing time.
Telfer said when her client said he wished to remain silent, the only questions allowed at that point is if the statement was not understood.
"That statement is not unclear. There is nothing unclear about that," she said. She said the defense is asking for the entire interrogation to be suppressed or to suppress anything said after the Miranda warning was given.
She also said the detective raised his voice considerably, though Cox denied this.
District Court Judge Douglas Walker said he had seen the tape, would view it again and he would decide if the detective was yelling or raising his voice.
Citing case law, Telfer pointed out the accusations of false statements were grounds for the suppression, and mentioned the profanity the detective used.
Jack Roth, from the Colorado attorney general's office, who is assisting the local DA's office with this case, said Hampson was never in custody when he was interviewed, and added being in the sheriff's office does not mean a person is in custody.
Hampson went to the sheriff's office voluntarily, responding to a request from law enforcement officials.
Roth said when the defendant decided to leave at the end of the meeting he left on his own accord, even though Cox had told him to sit and wait to allow him to be let out.
The sheriff's office team working on the case was deciding at that time whether there was probable cause to make an arrest, said Lt. Ted Meador. No arrest was made until later that night.
Roth said every statement the defendant made while being interviewed was made willingly.
"This is no babe in the woods," he said referencing to Hampson's criminal history. He added that the defendant knows the judicial process.
Roth added that every time Hampson invoked his right to remain silent he continued to talk.
In another matter, the court heard testimony about a Hampson acquaintance, who the sheriff's office used to tape statements from the defendant.
The acquaintance, an admitted past methamphetamine user who has been involved in the judicial process while living in California, asked authorities if they could assist her with a federal charge pending against her.
Cox said he told the woman they would not be assisting her with that case, and testified that she said "well I had to ask."
Cox also testified he was the lead investigator in an alleged 2009 rape where it was reported the woman's daughter had been the victim. Charges were never filed.
When asked how much confidence the sheriff's office had in a woman with a checkered history, including her past affiliation with the Norteno street gang and previous drug use, he said there was no doubt she would be able to assist them.
Walker said he would be issuing a ruling to the attorney on the suppression matters soon.
He also scheduled another hearing for March 6 to discuss other matters related to the case.
Hampson's murder trial is scheduled to begin on April 1.

Two men were arrested on a variety of charges after breaking into the Southwest Open Charter School and vandalizing the school on Nov. 30.
Johnathan Paul Snow, 20, of Cortez and Daylen Roy Oran, 18, of Dove Creek were arrested on two counts of second-degree burglary, criminal mischief and damage to public property.
Cortez Police officer Yvonne McClellan at 4 a.m. on Nov. 30 responded to the school for a report of a fire alarm sounding in the lobby of west building.
According to McClellan's police report, she said she noticed what appeared to be smoke coming out of the front door.
McClellan said that the door was slightly ajar, and the window of the door was broken out.
McClellan said upon entering the room she saw a yellow plastic chair and a fire extinguisher lying in the hallway.
Cortez Fire Chief Jeff Vandevoorde said his department responded and said there was no fire in the building after determining that the fire alarm was caused by someone using the fire extinguisher in the building that resulted in a haze in the air.
McClellan reported that she saw the effects of the discharged fire extinguisher in the room.
She said the hallway and the main room were coated in a thick film from the fire extinguisher discharge but noticed no other damage.
While clearing the west building, McClellan was informed by Montezuma County Sheriff's deputies that a building to the east also sustained damage.
She said while walking to the east building she noticed a beer can lying in the volleyball sandpit next to some tire tracks.
The glass of the front door of the east building was also broken from the outside, and an orange planter laying on the front deck appeared to be the weapon used to break the window as the rest of the plant and planter was inside the front door.
McClellan did not enter the east building but was able to see through the broken glass door and reported that everything in the building had been turned over or damaged.
A hanging plant was ripped out of the wall and thrown across the room, two wooden bookcases had been turned over and were broken and a desk and computer were also turned over.
McClellan said it was hard to determine if anything had been stolen because of the disarray of the room.
The police department is to receive an itemized list of damaged and stolen property from the school administration at a later time.
The Cortez Police Department on Friday said the incident is still under investigation.

If you haven't already, you will probably be getting a notice from your employer about the new health insurance marketplaces through the Affordable Care Act.
The notices, which are required by the health care reform law but carry no penalty if employers fail to provide them, are seen as just one more way for the government to get the word out about the marketplaces, which open Oct. 1.
Herbert Egert wants to do the right thing by his employees, so he's working on his notice. Egert runs a small group dental practice in Maryland that has long provided health care coverage to many of its employees. All of the practice's employees who work at least 24 hours a week have medical insurance -- two through Medicare, one through a parent's insurance policy, and five who are covered by their spouses' plans. The remaining nine employees are covered by the practice.
"We pay 85 percent of individual coverage, which works out to 70 percent of parent plus child, 60 percent for a husband and wife, and 50 percent for family coverage," said Egert, managing partner of Affinity Dental Associates.
Here's Egert's dilemma. The insurer covering his employees offered to renew the contract, which ends in March, by the end of December. Egert believes the early renewal proposal, which came with a 32 percent increase, was a move to keep his employees from seeking coverage through the marketplaces.
"I think this offer is just an attempt to take advantage of Obamacare paranoia and that we will be able to do better with the exchanges," he said.
As a small employer with 50 or fewer full-time employees, Egert may be able to provide group coverage through the Small Business Health Options Program Marketplace, and possibly receive a health care tax credit worth up to 50 percent of premium costs. The small business exchange was slated to open up for online application on Oct. 1, the same day as the opening for the individual marketplace. However that service won't be available now until November. Business owners can still apply by phone, mail or fax.
Egert doesn't know what to tell his employees. They may do better in the exchanges, or they may not. Until open enrollment starts, people can only guess what's best.
"What do you think I should indicate in the letter to the employees?" asked Egert, who has been my dentist since I was a young adult.
I told him to lay out all the options he's considering for them. When I consulted government officials, they said the same thing. "Employers shouldn't worry that they will be locked into any future benefits coverage because of this notice," said Phyllis C. Borzi, assistant secretary of labor for employee benefits security.
The Labor Department has created template letters that employers can use as a model to send to their employees. One letter is for employers who currently offer health insurance, and the other is for those who don't.
If the Fair Labor Standards Act covers your company, your notice should at least include the following:
-- Information about the health insurance marketplace, where you will be able to shop around and compare plans sold by different insurance companies.
-- You should be told that, depending on your income and what coverage your employer offers, you may be able to get lower-cost private insurance in the marketplace.
-- If you buy insurance through the marketplace, you may lose your employer contribution to your health benefits, if there is one.
-- If your employer offers health coverage that meets certain standards, you will not be eligible for a tax credit.
-- If your employer does not offer health coverage, your letter would point out that you might be eligible for a tax credit that lowers your monthly premium.
-- If the cost of an employer plan that would cover you -- not including other members of your family -- is more than 9.5 percent of your household income for the year, or if the coverage your employer provides does not meet the "minimum value" standard set by the Affordable Care Act, you may be eligible for a tax credit.
As I told Egert, just be upfront with your employees. If you aren't sure what will work best, then say that. He's got some time to decide. Open enrollment in the individual marketplaces begins Oct. 1 but doesn't end until March 31. Regardless, Egert said he isn't changing his commitment to his employees to provide quality health care.
"Most of my staff are confused by and afraid of the ACA calculators that are out there," he said. "I have already told my employees that we will play it by ear, but we still intend to supply insurance that is at least as good as what they have now."

Ticket Information
As a plea for all mankind,HUMANITY looks to the strength of the human spirit and the collective resolve of its global community as a source of inspiration. Though separated by illusory divides and racial constructs, the call for humanitarian peace rings with pristine clarity and truth, thwarting the advances of prejudicial war and fear mongering at the hands of the power elite. As this social war rages between the mainstream and the subaltern we find ourselves reflecting on our similarities, the human condition, our humanity, to bridge the ephemeral gap that isolates us.
Through musical genres such as jazz, blues, afro-cuban music, and gospel that have historically communicated longings of the human heart and, coupled with the mainstream and the classical, this concert will highlight the "other," giving voice to the voiceless, and imbuing the powerful with a soft-blue human hue.

Thief steals from Nashua North team at MemorialBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 08. 2013 12:44AM
MANCHESTER - Players from the Nashua North High School basketball team came back to their lockers after Tuesday's loss at Memorial High School to find money, valuables and electronics stolen, Manchester police said.
Lt. Michael Hurley said cell phones, cash, jewelry and electronics were among the items taken from 11 basketball players sometime between halftime and the end of the game, which Memorial won, 74 to 55.
Hurley said police "are looking at a particular student" in the thefts. He said a custodian was preparing to lock the door to the visiting locker room after halftime when he "found someone in there who wasn't supposed to be there."
No arrests had been made as of Thursday night.
Memorial boys basketball coach Jack Quirk said visiting teams have their own locker room. He said a custodian unlocks it for the team before the game and procedure calls for the custodian to lock the room when the team leaves for the start of the game and after halftime.
"The door was supposedly locked," Quirk said. "Someone could have been in there when the door was locked."
Quirk said the area around the locker rooms "is a tough place to police. There are just a lot of people in the locker room area."
The theft happened sometime during the game, he said. Quirk said school and police officials are aggressively investigating the matter.
"Hopefully, this can be resolved in a way where we'll get the stuff back. That's what we're hoping for," he said. "This is not something that the school or the police department is taking lightly."
Tom Arria, athletic director for Nashua North, declined to comment.
Memorial Principal Arthur Adamakos could not be reached for comment.

Cheerfully managing my resources so I can freely give to those in need.
Do you remember studying the water cycle in school? Rain and snow fall into a river; the water evaporates from the heat of the sun and forms clouds. The clouds once again release rain or snow upon the earth. The cycle continues to repeat, supplying nourishment for the soil each time the water returns. As each participant in the cycle gives, the cycle continues.
Generosity operates much like the water cycle. Somehow, giving to others frequently brings blessings back to the giver. Generosity is giving from ones own provisions in order to provide for the needs of others.
Limited resources should not discourage generosity. When a generous person discovers a need, that individual takes initiative to find a way to meet that need. The life of Margaret Haughery serves to illustrate the proper sense of generosity. At the age of 23, after losing her parents, her husband and her child, Margaret found herself living in poverty in New Orleans. She found work as a laundress at the upscale St. Charles Hotel and was surrounded by wealthy guests and luxurious accommodations. Yet out of her laundry room window, Margaret could see the poor of the city.
As she watched others provide food and help to families who could not afford it, she determined that she, too, would do what she could to help the needy of New Orleans. With her meager savings, Margaret purchased two cows and began to sell milk from door to door. One of her regular customers was a bakery that was behind in making payments and when it eventually failed it was turned over to Margaret for back payment. Margaret reopened the bakery and made it profitable. She distributed her bread for free to orphanages and other charities.
While the fruits of Margarets efforts were expanding, she never forgot what she had seen out of her laundry room window at the St. Charles Hotel. Over the course of her lifetime, Margaret helped found 11 orphanages and several homes for the elderly. Those are the projects that can be counted. Innumerable are the families and children she supported from her income and her heart.
To encourage generosity at home, you can think about someone who is going through a difficult time and work with your children to offer comfort or help to that individual.

State settles $24.5M lawsuit to force help for mentally ill
By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
The state has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit that was brought to force improvements in the treatment of mentally ill residents, New Hampshire Attorney General Joseph Foster announced Wednesday evening.
The settlement will mean improvements on top of $24.5 million in new programs and services signed into law by Gov. Maggie Hassan earlier this year. The settlment requires expanded employment and housing opportunities for the mentally ill, 24-hour community treatment teams and treatment settings for people undertaking suicidal or violent actions.
Hassan must find another $6 million in the current two-year budget, and the state must pay $2.4 million to the lawyers who brought the suit.
In a statement, Hassan said mental health care is one of the most pressing needs in the state, and she will work with legislative leaders to identify resources to meet the terms of the email@example.com

A group of local residents aiding victims of Superstorm Sandy will continue to collect donations through Jan. 12.
A group of local residents aiding victims of Superstorm Sandy will continue to collect donations through Jan. 12.
Cecile DiNozzi, a Middletown resident, started the effort to help a life long friend of hers who lives in Queens.
"Her neighborhood has suffered greatly," DiNozzi said.
All of the donations collected have come from individual residents and have been transported to New York to be distributed in Far Rockaway.
So far, four large trucks overflowing with donations have been sent up to New York.
"We were driven to send four trucks because donations poured in at a fast rate and we wanted to make sure that they reached their destination as soon as a truck was loaded," DiNozzi said. "The folks in this area were in dire straights and were cold and starving."
Food, water, clothing, blankets, diapers, assorted breads, and more have been sent from Middletown to Queens.
"We started the weekend after the storm and haven't stopped since," she said.
Anyone who would like to donate to the victims of Sandy can contact DiNozzi at home in the evenings at (302) 376-9255.

Pol taxes: Kuster, Guinta & overdue billsEDITORIAL
February 06. 2013 11:38PM
When newly elected U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster was sworn into office on Jan. 3, she had a net worth of at least $1.8 million - and an overdue property tax bill of $14,089. It turns out that her property tax bills on her primary residence and a rental property have been repeatedly late in the last few years. What does that say about Kuster? Not much, probably.
U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta, ousted last fall by Democrat Carol Shea-Porter, had his own delinquent property tax and water service bills in Manchester a few years ago, as did several other city elected officials of both parties. Current Republican State Committee Chairman Jennifer Horn owes the IRS more than $90,000 in back taxes, for which the IRS has imposed liens on her property.
The typical partisan response to news like this is to call the delinquent payer a tax cheat or imply that he or she is selfishly trying to avoid his or her civic duty. That is how Democrats portrayed Guinta when news of his late tax bills broke. Republicans pretend to be outraged about Kuster, too, but the response was more measured, for good reason.
The state party officially called on Kuster not to resign, but to explain herself. Asserting that Kuster did not "pay her fair share," Republican spokesperson Meg Stone said, "When times are tough and our neighbors are struggling, people understand; but when your net worth is nearly $2 million and you have established a pattern of non-payment, your constituents deserve an answer."
The false outrage was leavened with a hint of understanding. How else could a party headed by someone who has IRS liens totaling $92,184 respond?
The typical public response is a bit different. It goes something like this: We have to pay our taxes on time, why don't they? Who do they think they are? Fair enough. From now on, party poo-bahs need to vet candidates on their tax bills to avoid those questions. Yet for now there are other questions. Why do so many people in politics in New Hampshire have trouble paying their taxes on time? Do they feel entitled? Are they disorganized? Is it the economy? Or are taxes so high and so complex that it is becoming hard to find candidates who have not had payment issues?

ATF offers $3,000 reward for informantion on Durham fires
DURHAM – The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is offering an award of up to $3,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who set five fires on Feb. 2 in downtown Durham, one that caused extensive damage to a barn and breezeway connected to an historic home.
ATF, the federal law enforcement agency with jurisdiction in arson investigations, is offering the reward for information about the fires that occurred at 6 Main St., 15 Main St., 19 Main St., 20 Main St. and 4 Park Lane.
?Arsons have a devastating effect on our communities. Arsons not only result in the loss of income and the loss of property, but they also endanger the lives of firefighters who respond to these fires and who protect our communities,? said Eugenio A. Marquez, acting special agent in charge of the ATF Boston Field Division.
The first fire was reported that Saturday morning at 1:06 a.m at 15 Main St. Deputy Police Chief Rene Kelley said the blaze started inside a student apartment.
About 90 minutes later, at 2:38 a.m., a fire was reported at 20 Main St. That blaze, Kelley said, started in the rear of the building and burned through the wall and into a student apartment. Several University of New Hampshire students were displaced by it.
Less than an hour later, at 3:30 a.m, a fire was reported at 4 Smith Park Lane. A barn, which included an apartment and where antiques were stored, was set on fire. The blaze went to four alarms and required firefighters from about a dozen communities to extinguish it. Two people were displaced because of the blaze which destroyed the barn and breezeway.
After those fires were publicized, investigators learned about two more fires set that morning at 6 Main St. and 19 Main St. The fire department was not notified when they happened because people who discovered them put them out, Kelley explained.
Anyone who witnessed anything suspicious that morning is asked to call police at 603-868-2324, the New Hampshire State Police Arson Hotline at 1-800-400-3526, or the ATF Arson Hotline at 1-800-ATF-FIRE (1-800-283-3473). Callers may remain anonymous, Kelley said.
Durham police and fire, the state Fire Marshal's Office and ATF are jointly investigating the fires.

Before you look for someone who will offer you the best of upholstery cleaning in Colton, it is always a good idea to find out as much as you can about the company. You always want to make sure that whoever is cleaning your upholstery is properly equipped to do the work. It is not just about completing the work in good time or getting the results you need, but primarily about taking good care of the upholstery. There are fabrics that are too expensive you should not take your chances with an amateur contractor.
One of the factors that determine the cost of Colton upholstery cleaning is the type of contractor that you will get. Most experts charge slightly higher than amateur upholstery cleaners, because they have a sure guarantee your work will be done to perfection, unlike their counterparts. Given the amount you spend on the upholstery, it would therefore be wise to have someone with the right skills clean them, even if they are charging you a bit higher for their experience and the quality of the service they are offering.
The cost of upholstery cleaning in Colton will in most cases depend on the type of furniture in question. Take a recliner or an armchair for example. This costs between $30 and $50. In case you need upholstery cleaning for a love seat, you can spend up to $60 on these services. Sectional sofas cost more, given that they require more cleaning products per surface area than the smaller items of furniture. For your sectional sofa, you will spend between $100 and $150 for upholstery cleaning.
For reference it may be helpful to compare the costs from surrounding towns as well:
For such a service, you need to get a professional contractor to assist you. You should also be ready to research on their services and their work history. Look for a company that has a number of years of experience in upholstery cleaning in Colton. This is a service whose results you will usually see almost immediately. Therefore, for a company to stay in the industry for so many years, there is a good chance that they have been offering nothing but the best services to their clientele.
Learning from someone about a given service is a good idea, especially if you know them on a personal basis. There is always a good chance that you might have seen their furniture before and after Colton upholstery cleaning services. Because of this reason, ask them about their contractor. Find out from them how much it cost. How long did it take for the work to be completed? What was their experience with the contractor? This is usually the best way to prepare yourself when looking for a good contractor for upholstery cleaning.
Ease of access is a good thing. A company that is within your proximity is easier to reach and interact with than one that is from afar. For upholstery cleaning in Colton, always consider hiring a company with a local network. In most cases, such companies also have amazing deals and discount offers for their local clients, so it will be of significant help to your case. Apart from that, local companies generally have a better response rate and reputation than companies from other parts of the country, given that they are essentially a part of the community you live in, and you might even know some of the contractors on a personal level.

Let me get this straight. You people voted to build a school that hasnt been designed, no plans or blueprints, no mechanical or site preparation figured yet in monetary terms, and those of us who voted against it are the stupid ones? No architect will be picked till the spring, so that pretty well says it all. How can you figure how much this boondoggle will cost if you dont even know how much per square foot it will cost and with no design or blueprints you cant possibly know that cost.
With all the new EPA regulations going into effect with Obamaclaus back in office, that will make energy more costly meaning, every product used will be more costly, not to mention the energy used to build this thing. Once again I ask, whos stupid? I suggest you go to any lending organization and try to borrow money to build a house or business without a cost already figured using the standard methods and see how far you get.
One good thing going for us conservatives is 30 states are now controlled by Republicans as well as the majority of the state legislatures. Lets see next time if we can get that happy result in this state and locally. Just thought Id add that little tidbit to give hope to other conservatives.

Is all that late night Facebooking and TV watching cutting into our valuable rest? Try this experiment and find out!
RESULTS: During our sleep challenge period half of the participants got more sleep on their "electronic diet." Congratulations! Remeber this challenge can be tried at any time.
Sleep is important for making memories. It is used as a time for consolidation of memories, which you can learn more about in the museum's Life Lab.
Do you get enough sleep? How can you improve your sleep quality? These are some of the questions that high school students participating in the Koshland Science Museum's Issues Research Lab explored as part of their community research project last fall.
One team of young researchers examined the effects of the use of electronics on sleep. Is all that late night Facebooking and TV watching cutting into our valuable rest? Try this experiment and find out!
See if turning off your electronics before bedtime helps you get more sleep!
- Write down the amount of sleep you get each night for 7 consecutive nights.
- For the next 7 days, turn off all electronics 1 hour before your intended bedtime. Write down the amount of sleep you get each night.
- Compare your results: Did you sleep less, the same amount, or more when you were on the sleep diet?
- Share your results in the poll below. You can also add your comments to the museum's Deputy Director, Erika, as she blogs about her sleep challenges in the comments section.
Getting ready to sleep!
Hi folks,
I am going to start taking this sleep challenge this Friday and would love for you to try it with me. For the next week I am going to be doing what I normally do (which includes using my computer until the moment I turn out the light). I will also keep a record of how much sleep I get. Given my tea drinking habit, I probably don't get enought sleep!
Starting on the 26th I will be turning off my electronics early to see if that helps me get more sleep.
I hope that you will join me!
Do you get more sleep on weekdays or weekends?
I started recording my sleep on Friday and I can already see that I am coming short of 8 hours a night. I slept about 7 hours on Friday night and about 6.5 hours each night on Saturday and Sunday. I did use my computer pretty close to bedtime on both Friday and Sunday. I hope that with the return of the work week I can get a little more shut eye.
How about you? Do you get more sleep Monday through Friday or on weekends? Chime in here.
Would I get more sleep on the West Coast
I didn't get much sleep last night becuase I stayed up watching the Presidential Debate. If I lived on the west coast it would have ended earlier than it did on the east coast. It made me wonder if I would get more sleep if I lived in Washington State instead of Washington, DC.
Sweet Dreams!
How will my family handle me turning off my electronics?
I got about 6.5 - 7 hours of sleep last night, which seems par for the course this week. Last night I was on the computer at 9:30 PM learning about the Articles of the Confederation and Thomas Jefferson while helping my daughter with U.S. History homework. What is going to happen when I have to stop using electronics at about 9 PM? This experiment may not just effect me...
Catch you in the morning!
Getting ready to turn off in order to sleep better
I have averaged close to 7 hours of sleep the past two nights, which is not too shabby, Tonight I start the experiment of turning my electronics off 1 hour before bedtime. Since I normally get up a little before 6 am, I need to get to sleep at 10 pm. This means that I will be turning off the computer at 9 pm. Oh my!
If you have been following the weather here on the east coast of the U.S. you will know that we are about to be hit by Hurricane Sandy. This may make my job easier since we often loose power due to storms!
Other factors affect sleep more than electronics
My first few days of turning off my electronics an hour before bedtime haven't gone quite as I planned. First I had to take my husband to the airport at 5 am to catch a flight that had been rescheduled. Next I was woken repeatedly by one of my children who has an ear ache. Last night I couldn't sleep while listening to Sandy roar outside. The sleep count for the last few days has been:
Friday - 7 hours
Saturday - 6 hours (probably generous)
Sunday - 6 hours in two hour blocks
Monday - 6.5 hours
Thankfully my family is safe after the superstorm. I hope you are safe as well.
Turning off the computer has helped
I turned off my computer at 9 PM on Tuesday and Wednesday. It is helping me get to sleep earlier. I am drifitng off to sleep at 10 PM. Unfotunately, my body still seems to be set for 6.5 - 7 hours of sleep so I am waking up at 4:30 AM, but I feel the potential for sleeping more.
If you are trying the challenge let me know whether you are having any luck getting more sleep!
One more night to get some sleep
It is quite a challenge to turn off my electronics at 9 pm. I still have so much I want to do! The upside it that I am getting more reading done. Last night I got about 7 hours of sleep because I was drifting off at about 10 and didn't wake up until 5!
What is your favorite thing to do before you go to sleep?
Sweet dreams,
I am now done with my sleep challenge. It wasn't the perfect experiment since there were a number of factors, which negatively affected my sleep. I did find that turning off my electronics an hour before I planned to sleep helped me to fall asleep earlier. On average I got about the same amount of sleep.
I hope that you will try this challenge too. Leave a comment to let us know about your experience.
Sweet Dreams!

Windham decides on some events, waits and watches on othersBy APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
February 08. 2013 3:17AM
WINDHAM -- While ticket sales for the Windham Recreation Department's annual Daddy Daughter Dances at Castleton had initially been scheduled to begin Friday afternoon, that date has been pushed up to later this month due to the coming storm, Recreation Coordinator Cheryl Haas said.
In a written statement, Haas said the event has gotten so popular over the years, there's often been a line going out the door to reserve tickets- that might prove a safety concern once the storm hits, she said.
Haas said the tickets would be now be sold on Feb. 16, with ticket sales for the Sunday, March 10 dance will run from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and sales for the Friday, March 15 dance will from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
A decision on whether or not to postpone Windham's two deliberative sessions at Windham High School will likely be made tomorrow morning, town officials said.
As it stands now, Windham's School Deliberative Session is scheduled to take place Friday evening at 7 p.m.: the Town Deliberative Session is Saturday morning at 9 a.m.
Under state RSA 40:4, communities may delay a deliberative session up to 72 hours at the discretion of the meeting moderator.

Common Core allies fight back to keep education standardBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 22. 2013 10:09PM
CONCORD — The battle lines are being drawn over the state Board of Education decision to implement the controversial Common Core standards statewide.
Conservative groups opposing the standards and the testing that goes with them have held the spotlight in recent weeks. A forum recently hosted by Common Core opponents at St. Anselm College drew a standing-room-only crowd, and a large turnout before the Manchester Board of Education last week cheered the decision by the state's largest city to reject the standards.
Now supporters are fighting back. The Business and Industry Association, which sees the standards as key toward creating an educated workforce, came out in support of the Common Core late last week, and the state Board of Education has scheduled a day-long information session for lawmakers next Tuesday at the State House, where at least two bills have been filed to delay or upend the program.
Are the new standards a good-faith effort to improve the outcomes of public education for a mobile society in which children often move from state to state? Or are they a costly, defective, one-size-fits all mandate that extends federal authority over education, imposes questionable testing standards and raises privacy concerns? It all depends on your point of view.
"The first thing we are going to do is get a more fair and balanced approach on getting information out there," said Board of Education Chairman Tom Raffio, who will oversee a panel discussion at the Oct. 29 State House event. "We have to get away from the rhetoric and help our legislators to hear the truth. Is it (Common Core) perfect? No, but it is a baseline to start from, and if a local district wants to make the standards better, then so be it."
Raffio was alluding to the decision by the Manchester Board of School Committee to develop "Manchester Academic Standards" that would draw upon Common Core, among other sources.
Although the Board of Education adopted the standards in 2010, and many districts in the state are well along the path toward implementation, the issue was not grabbing headlines in the state until recently.
Until Manchester's decision, Alton was the only school district in the state to vote against implementing Common Core. Last week, school officials in Nashua agreed to discuss a delay of two years.
The Business and Industry Association, the statewide chamber of commerce, decided to enter the fray on Oct. 16, when the association announced that its board of directors had voted unanimously to support what they called "the more rigorous educational standards."
The standards do not establish curriculum, but outline what students should know, or what tasks they should be able to complete, upon graduation from each grade level, kindegarten through 12. Critics argue they are not rigorous enough.
"The BIA is in the final stages of completing a strategic economic plan for New Hampshire and educating our state's emerging workforce plays a key role in our future economic prosperity," said BIA President Jim Roche.
"The focus on math and related skills that are a part of the Common Core complements the focus on increased STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education called for the strategic economic plan, which will be released in November."
The lack of skilled workers in key sectors of the state economy has emerged as a recurring theme among state leaders in business, industry and academia for the past two years.
"A robust advanced manufacturing and high-technology sector is critical to New Hampshire's future economic success," said Roche. "BIA believes the Common Core is an important part of ensuring our future workforce has the education and skills necessary to fill these high-paying, challenging jobs."
The lobbying on both sides is likely to intensify as the Legislature returns for its next session. One bill has already been filed by Rep. Lenette Peterson, R-Merrimack, that would prohibit the state from implementing Common Core. Another bill aimed in that direction has been filed by Rep. David Murotake, R-Nashua.
The position taken by the American Federation of Teachers illustrates how left-leaning groups are also torn on the issue. The AFT is supportive, but has called for a moratorium on using the tests associated with Common Core to evaluate teachers, at least until they can be better trained in the new standards.
AFT-NH President Laura Hainey finds the prospect of intervention by state lawmakers ironic. "It drives me crazy," she said. "You have a group of people who say, 'We don't want interference from government,' and they are trying to block, through government interference, what you can do at the local level."

Gov. Hassan pushes casino plan in State of the State addressBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 10. 2013 10:37PM
GOFFSTOWN - Gov. Maggie Hassan brought her campaign for casino gambling to the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College Wednesday, warning that the state is at a crossroads.
"I am concerned that people understand, we are really at a tipping point with the state budget," she told a crowd of business leaders gathered for the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce's annual State of the State address. "We have to confront the fact that we need more revenues, and the licensing fees (from a casino) are the way to do it."
She said the House budget passed last week without licensing fee revenue "demonstrates the impact of no casino," and relies too heavily on hospital taxes that are being challenged in court.
Approval of one high-end, highly regulated casino is still a viable option, she said, given Senate support and the fact that the House budget bill includes language that says cuts can be restored if gambling is approved.
"I hope you will reach out to your legislators and my office as the process moves forward," she said.
When asked whether she was concerned about the impact on existing entertainment venues in the state "because of a casino in Salem," the governor responded that a casino, if approved, is "not predestined to be in any one place, just somewhere along the Massachusetts border."
She referred to the query as "the cannibalization question," and said those fears are exaggerated.
Limits could be imposed on the number of restaurant seats or hotel rooms a casino is allowed, she said, to prevent significant impacts on nearby hotels and eateries.
Venues like Manchester's Verizon Wireless Arena or the Music Hall in Portsmouth compete for a different audience and offer a different experience, she said. "The markets are very different. No casino will have the capacity of the Verizon arena, and the entertainment at a casino would be nothing like what's offered at the Music Hall. I think there's room for all of this."
The alternative, she told the group, was to sit by and let Massachusetts launch three casinos that will draw resources from New Hampshire and leave the Granite State to deal with the social costs.
"Do we want to compete, or do we want to see our rooms and meals tax revenue go to Massachusetts?" she said.
The governor has pegged many of her policy priorities on the licensing fee from one casino, which she said would be paid in time to affect the next two-year budget.
Without casino money, she said, the state will not be able to achieve a tuition freeze at UNH and community colleges, will not be able to fund needed improvements to the state's mental health system, and will lose ground on needed infrastructure upgrades.

Timberlane superintendent apologizes for lunch policy mistake that prevented food purchase on creditBy ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent
October 07. 2013 9:02PM
PLAISTOW — School officials are apologizing for a policy oversight that prevented at least one high school student from buying food on credit at the high school.
The Timberlane Regional School District policy states that high school students can charge a la carte items at the cafeteria as long as they have less than $20 of debt.
However, one parent said her diabetic daughter has been denied charging items at least four times over the last year.
"I've spoke to (superintendent Earl) Metzler four times this year about my daughter being denied something when the policy states that it goes to negative $20," said Kimberly Budreau. "She has never been at negative $20; she has been at zero, negative 10 cents and negative $1.10. And she happens to be a type I diabetic, but whether she was or not, I'd be frustrated about the policies you choose to adhere to and the ones you do not."
Metzler said he spoke with Budreau about two weeks ago and made sure that a recent letter informing parents about the district's food service policy matched the actual policy.
"We looked at the a la carte items at the high school, and students are able to charge up to $20," said Metzler.
At that time, Metzler apologized to Budreau and said there had been an oversight of the policy and asked if Budreau's daughter would mind testing the policy again to see if she would be able to purchase an item while carrying a slight negative balance.
Budreau said that once again, her daughter was not allowed to purchase a juice while she had a negative balance of $1.10.
Metzler apologized for the incident and said he would remain on top of making sure the high school follows the policy.
"We are well aware of what the policy is at the high school," said Metzler. "This is an oversight, and we apologize. It shouldn't happen. We went over this last year."
Metzler said he spoke to the food services department at the high school last year and told them that Budreau's daughter is diabetic should not be denied juice or water no matter what her balance is.
"I can say that I'm sorry it happened again, I'm embarrassed it happened again, and I will certainly spend more time on it," said Metzler. "We will do our best to get this right."

BOSTON -- Amid testimony Friday about elected officials backing applicants for a 2005 Bristol Superior Court post, Judge William Young advised the jury to "keep your eye on the ball" during what's expected to be a lengthy trial of three former state probation department officials.
Young reminded the jurors that political patronage is not a crime and said the prosecutors are trying to prove the officials falsely certified that hiring policies had been followed.
Ellen Slaney, a former probation department official, testified Friday she was told in advance the name of a job candidate who she was told to advance through a supposedly merit-based interview for "political" reasons. Defense attorneys also quizzed Slaney on her role in her niece receiving a probation job.
Federal prosecutors are attempting to prove that former Probation Commissioner John O'Brien and two former deputies, Elizabeth Tavares and William Burke III, secretly manipulated the hiring apparatus to install politically connected candidates regardless of whether they were the best choice for the job.
Slaney, the prosecution's first witness, said she believed her niece had been passed over for probation officer positions because Slaney had resisted cooperating in the patronage system. She said she did not attempt to secure any special treatment for her niece, Moira Toomey.
"You actively lobbied on behalf of her hire," defense attorney Brad Bailey challenged Slaney.
"I was only asking that she be treated like everyone else," said Slaney, who said she wrote a thank you to O'Brien after she was hired.
Slaney said she participated in some interviews over about a decade in which she was asked to advance a particular name, though in select cases she had her own preferred candidate or believed the selected candidate was unqualified.
In 2000 she passed over favored applicant Doug MacLean - who is the son of a former Fairhaven state senator - because he had a felony on his record and a history of substance abuse, according to Slaney.
Slaney said O'Brien admonished her for not advancing MacLean, who got the job, and said she begged off participation in future interviews. However, after a hiring freeze ended in 2005 she was asked to participate in interviews to fill the position of first assistant chief probation officer at Bristol Superior Court.
Slaney said she and the chief probation officer at the court believed they knew who would be best for the job ahead of the interviews, but Tavares told her to move forward Joseph Dooley, who was eventually hired.
"She told me, 'Sometimes the political thing had to be done,'" Slaney said on the stand, quoting Tavares who was seated at a defense table in front of her.
"You didn't really know what she meant when she said that?" asked Bailey, which Slaney conceded. He said, "Have you ever heard of the phrase workplace politics?"
"Not really," Slaney replied.
An independent counsel report into patronage in the probation department reported that Dooley had the backing of Sen. Marc Pacheco, a Taunton Democrat.
Slaney described herself as a reluctant participant in the process of advancing O'Brien's selected candidates. Though she passed along names of the preferred candidate to the chief probation officer who would be on the three-person interview panel, she would not tell the judge who was also on the panel.
"I thought it was inappropriate," Slaney said.
"What was inappropriate?" asked federal prosecutor Karin Bell.
"Giving names of people that were going to be chosen before the interview even occurred," Slaney said.
Prosecutors say O'Brien backed candidates to gain "political currency" from their sponsors, some of the most powerful people in state government, while defense attorneys contend he merely sought the advice of respected government officials.
Bell's questioning of Slaney occurred amid a thicket of objections from lawyers for the three defendants. Young indicated that additional subjects could be returned to, and Slaney could be called back to the stand.
Defense attorney Stellio Sinnis produced applications that showed five of the seven other candidates for the Bristol court position had the backing of various elected officials, including Sen. Mark Montigny (D-New Bedford), former Rep. James Fagan (D-Taunton) and former Rep. John Quinn (D-Dartmouth).
Sinnis also elicited from Slaney that she had her own preferred candidates heading into interviews, which she said was based on working with the candidates as their direct supervisor.
After O'Brien's ouster in May 2010, Ronald Corbett stepped in as acting commissioner, and when Corbett left in early 2013 Slaney briefly filled the role of acting commissioner.
In 2005 when she was a regional supervisor and once again stopped participating in hiring, she was assigned to conduct overdue audits in other counties, which she interpreted as "retaliation" for bucking the pressure to help political hires.
Slaney suspected her relationship with O'Brien had been a blockade to her niece's employment by the public safety agency. Before the trial wrapped for the weekend, Sinnis presented Slaney with interview scores from judges on panels that ranked her niece below the top-eight that would proceed to the final interview round.
