Active Non-Essentials: Must Try Harder
Scott McKenzie picks ten movies off his shelf that deserve more love on DVD...
We all know the ultimate edition of Blade Runner is on the cards and Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair will eventually see the light of day, but what about the films further down the pecking order? I've picked out ten titles from my collection that, while many of them may never get a place in the Criterion Collection, deserve to be treated better on DVD.
Sexy Beast
Sexy Beast is best remembered for the powerhouse performance by Ben Kingsley as criminal psychopath Don Logan. He steals every scene he's in and his presence haunts the film when he's not on screen. In addition to that, he expanded the vocabulary of profanity of everyone who has seen it. With or without Sir Ben, it should not be forgotten that Sexy Beast is a cleverly structured, tightly scripted caper that never resorts to Lock Stock-style easy laughs at a time when the British film industry was churning out plenty of films from every 'next Guy Ritchie'. Ex-music video director Jonathan Glazer directs with flair and delivers an after-the-pub movie with just the right mix of style, comedy, suspense and intelligence.
The region two release of Sexy Beast comes courtesy of FilmFour, which is one of the few studios that put audio description for the visually impaired on their discs as standard. On top of that, there's a few featurettes but this that would be well-complemented with a longer documentary tracking the film from its conception to its eventual release. A commentary track from screenwriters Louis Mellis and David Scinto could also offer valuable information about how to write an efficient, hard-hitting drama in a time when studios seem to be competing to see who can make the longest movie.
Witchfinder General
Vincent Price's career is filled with great performances, and Witchfinder General is no exception. Here he plays Matthew Hopkins who, accompanied by his not-so-faithful servant, travels the length and breadth of England identifying, torturing and ridding the country of witches in any way he sees fit, be it drowning, hanging or burning. Against the backdrop of the battle of Naseby in 1645, Hopkins falls foul of a soldier and it is the beginning of the end for our anti-hero.
The region two special edition contains footage that was originally cut before the feature could be approved for release by the British censors. Unfortunately time has not been good to the excised shots and the footage is easily identifiable due to the distinct change in video and audio quality. As a result, the viewing experience of the complete cut is very stop-start. More investment in the restoration of this classic British movie could restore this British classic to the quality that its legion of fans deserves.
Snake Eyes
Drawing inspiration from Hitchcock (not for the first time), Brian De Palma constructed a clever thriller with Nicolas Cage pulling out all the stops in a familiar wide-eyed over-the-top performance as loveable rogue Ricky Santoro. The story focuses on a political assassination during a boxing match, an event that is re-visited many times during the course of the twists and turns of the film. De Palma dips into his directorial bag of tricks and displays the visual invention we expect from him, taking the camera through walls and doors to get the most out of the screenplay that could have been translated into a pedestrian mystery tale in the hands of another director.
With an opening shot that appears to go on for over ten minutes (there are actually a number of secret cuts), Snake Eyes is crying out for an 'Anatomy of a Scene' featurette, showing exactly where and how all the cuts were made. I'd also like to know how many takes it took for Nicolas Cage and the rest of the cast to get the scene right. Interviews with the actors would shed some light on their approach to working on films with very long takes, something I am hoping for in the upcoming release of Children of Men, another film where the camera rolls for minutes rather than seconds. De Palma seems to come from the Spielberg school of DVD commentary so the chances of getting him to provide a talk track are unfortunately very slim.
Midnight Run
Back in the eighties, who knew that Robert De Niro could do comedy? I mean proper, just-for-the-laughs comedy. Even Rupert Pupkin in The King of Comedy is predominantly a dramatic performance of a comedian, but Midnight Run is nothing but a fun buddy movie. There was no need for him to pile on the pounds or spends months immersing himself in a different lifestyle. The whole film succeeds or fails on the relationship between bounty hunter Jack Walsh and accountant to the mob Jonathan Mardukis, and it is the banter between the two that raises this above the standard action comedy fayre. Even though the F-word is used more than 100 times, it is surprising that Midnight Run continues to receive an 18 certificate in the UK with each release because there is nothing else for the censors to take exception with. No nudity, no gore and only comedic violence: if you removed the bad language, Midnight Run would have PG written all over it.
De Niro provided a commentary track for Meet The Parents, so why not re-unite him with Charles Grodin for a 20th anniversary special edition to see if they share the same camaraderie as their characters? The Beverly Hills Cop DVD contains a commentary track by director-for-hire Martin Brest so I'd like to hear more from this man who has an odd CV to say the least (he also inflicted Gigli upon the world) and an interview may shed some light on the reasons why he's only made three films in almost twenty years since Midnight Run.
Should Universal be considering a second outing on DVD for Midnight Run and on the unlikely chance that they're reading this article, please can you bear the following in mind:
- 1. Don't release the old non-anamorphic disc in a box set with the shoddy TV prequels like Midnight Run for Your Life.
- 2. Sort out the badly-Photoshopped DVD cover. It's one of the worst covers out there and looks like a child has been let loose with the movie posters and a pair of blunt scissors.
Brewster's Millions
There are generally two types of movie viewers: passive and active. Passive viewers watch a film and take it all in without questioning what they are watching. Active viewers automatically take a more critical approach and want to talk about the movie with other people while they're watching it. The reason I have such affection for Brewster's Millions is that it forces everyone to become an active viewer. Everyone watching a film about someone who has to spend $30 million in thirty days always starts to think about what they would do if they were in Monty Brewster's position. Combine that with Richard Pryor and John Candy at the top of their game and you've got a genuinely warm, funny and thought-provoking movie that you'll want to watch again and again.
So how could the studio put together a DVD release for Brewster's Millions that doesn't involve lumping it in with lesser films from Richard Pryor's back catalogue? How about packaging it with all the other versions of Brewster's Millions that were filmed between 1914 and 1945? Most or all of these movies must now be in the public domain and of most interest to me is the 1921 version starring Fatty Arbuckle as Monte Brewster who, in order to receive an inheritance of $10 million, must spend $2 million in less than a year and remain unmarried!
Deceiver (aka Liar)
I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of people I know that have seen this movie. Deceiver undoubtedly suffered from being a member of the growing number of crime dramas made at the height of Tarantino-mania, in spite of an impressive cast including Renee Zellweger, Michael Rooker, Rosanna Arquette and Reservoir Dogs co-stars Tim Roth and Chris Penn. Roth steals the show as the absinthe-drinking epileptic who has to undergo a lie detector test after he is accused of murdering a young stripper. It's just a shame that he didn't get to share any scenes with Michael Parks' psychologist because the two of them on screen at the same time would have provided the viewer with a powerful battle of wits. The only problem I have with the film is the re-naming it received for release in the UK. Try telling someone what a great film Liar is and they assume you're a Jim Carrey devotee…
As is the case with many of the titles in this list, the first DVD release is still the only version available. The region one release comes on a double-sided disc with widescreen and fullscreen versions and was released in 2002, while the UK had to wait until 2004 to get an official release. Since the acting is the main reason to check out Deceiver, I'd like to see some interviews from the actors talking about their work on the movie and with Chris Penn's unfortunate passing it may be an opportunity to provide a retrospective on his career in the same way the producers of the Glengarry Glen Ross special edition did for Jack Lemmon.
Once Were Warriors
Before he got James Bond involved in the CGI madness of Die Another Day and lost the plot in his private life, Lee Tamahori directed this gripping and poignant story of a family falling apart. Set in New Zealand, the family's Maori warrior heritage is a stark contrast to the needless violence of the father, played with wide-eyed intensity by Jango Fett himself, Temuera Morrison. The horrendous packaging from serial quoters New Line betrays the film's roots as a family drama with a dash of violence and instead makes it look like a beat 'em up flick.
Under no circumstances should Once Were Warriors be packaged with the criminally bad sequel What Becomes of the Broken Hearted? The story completely changes and focuses on the relationship between Morrison's character Jake and a son that never even gets a mention in the original film. Going against the lessons he should have learned in Once Were Warriors, Jake uses his violent nature to save his son where it couldn't help him keep his family together before. To be honest, just getting a clean widescreen print of the movie (check out the grain on the screenshot above) would be a plus and any extras at all would be a bonus.
Touch of Evil
Touch of Evil sees Orson Welles back to his best, both directing and starring in this classic crime drama. However, his version didn't see the light of day until nearly ten years ago. Welles was denied final cut by the studio and upon viewing their version, he wrote a fifty-eight page memo to the producers that documented every change he felt was necessary. The memo was ignored until 1997, when it was used to produce a 'director's cut' which has served as the definitive version ever since, with the highlight being the long tracking shot where we follow a car with a bomb in the boot knowing exactly how long it will be until the timer runs out.
The current DVD release contains a rather cumbersome version of the memo which has to be navigated by 'Next' and 'Back' buttons. Touch of Evil is a title that could easily qualify for a place within the Criterion Collection and their previous release of Brazil could serve as a template for a special edition package. In the same way that the studio cut and director's cut were both included in that set, I'd like to be able to see both versions of the film with Welles' memo superimposed as text commentary to bring the viewer's attention to where the changes were made.
The Color of Money
Twenty-five years after The Hustler, Paul Newman revisits his first classic character, pool shark 'Fast' Eddie Felson. Now an ageing salesman of knocked-off liquor, Felson is drawn to the arrogant and incredibly talented hustler Vincent, played by Tom Cruise in an early big screen role. Felson teaches him how to hustle and in doing so, sparks off his own rebirth in the profession he thought he had left behind him. It's interesting to watch The Color of Money in an era when Tom Cruise is the biggest star in the world because it's easy to overlook the fact that this is Newman's movie and the Cruiser is only the supporting actor.
The two films were produced by different studios but in an ideal would be good to be able to pick up a double pack of The Hustler and The Color of Money, charting the fall and rise of Fast Eddie. Just like its predecessor, The Color of Money would benefit from a commentary by real life pool sharks to explain how to make the trick shots. Given that Scorsese hasn't done many talk tracks, this title probably isn't on the top of his back-catalogue list. With a washed-out picture and below par audio track, probably the only good thing about the vanilla release is that the DVD cover is pretty much the same as the original movie poster, something that for some unknown reason, studios seem to make a point of avoiding.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1955)
As both a Cold War allegory and a paranoid sci-fi thriller, the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers is an essential watch for anyone with even a passing interest in film history. Filmed when the Hays Code governed the themes and actions of the characters, it can also be viewed as a document of censors' expectations—those familiar with the Code won't be surprised when they learn the fate of the main characters, who live with the 'shame' of divorce.
The only releases available contain both the full-screen and original widescreen versions on a double-sided disc along with an interview with actor Kevin McCarthy. With the story getting another 're-imagining' next year starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, surely the time has come to give the original negative a good clean up and give us the movie presented in a way deserving of a DVD release? The video and audio quality of the previous releases were no better than you would expect on VHS. After all, we're going to be getting everything re-released on high-def formats before long so the studios will need to start cleaning their archive prints like they've never cleaned them before, otherwise no one will be interested in buying classic movies in HD.
The titles above were the picks from my collection. Now over to you, the reader… which movies do you think deserve special edition treatment?

Keene officials to meter fillers: This is about public safety not revenueBy MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
May 14. 2013 8:53PM
KEENE — City officials said a lawsuit against a group filling parking meters before city parking enforcement officers can issue tickets is not about money, it's about safety.
"This is not about revenue. This is not about the city losing any money," City Manager John A. MacLean said Tuesday.
People plugging parking meters with coins, after all provides revenue to the city, he added.
"This has always been about safety and the contract we have with our employees," he said.
Parking enforcement officers as well as the public reported that the harassing behavior by members of the group calling themselves Robin Hood of Keene had the potential to cause an accident, MacLean said.
There were reports of people coming in and out of traffic and parked cars that raised "legitimate concerns that someone could get hurt out there," he said.
The city is also concerned about protecting its employees from harassing behavior and freeing them from interference in the performance of their duties, Maclean said.
On Monday, James Cleaveland of Keene said the Robin Hooders would be vindicated in court by the extensive videotape recordings of their activities.
"He is an accountant by day and Robin Hood on Saturday," said Ian Freeman about Cleaveland, both men are named in the suit.
The lawsuit describes confrontational and harassing behavior by the group.
"That's pretty ridiculous and there's plenty of video to prove that isn't true," Freeman said.
The city, though, has its own video evidence to provide in court.
Over a four-week period starting in mid-March, the city paid private investigator Peter "Sturdy" Thomas, a retired Keene police captain to video tape the group at work, said William A. Prokop, assistant city manager/human resources director.
Thomas was paid $1,339.67 for 46.5 hours of work paid out of the city's safety and security budget.
Thomas is one of the private investigators the city hires when it needs to run a background check, Prokop said.
He was brought in to gather the video evidence because citizens were concerned about safety on the city sidewalks, Prokop said.
Harassing behavior was being reported not only by city employees, but by the general public, he said.
"We wanted to have video proof of what was being done and make sure our employees and taxpayers were not infringed upon," Prokop said. "This has always been about safety and the contract we have with our employees."
MacLean said while the so-called Robin Hooders had posted videos of their activities online, Thomas was brought in so that city officials could collect unbiased information about what was taking place.
"We recognized that this was becoming a very serious situation, our employees were becoming very upset, the general public was very upset," MacLean said, hiring Thomas was about "having our own information into the mix to what is actually happening out there."
Freeman said, though, the city doesn't have a case.
"If there was a case for harassment they would have brought criminal harassment charges and they haven't done that," Freeman said. "They would have loved to have charged anybody with anything and they don't have a case."
To view footage collected by the Robin Hooders, Freeman said people can go to the YouTube channel Fr33mantvraw.
Since reported by the New Hampshire Union Leader on Tuesday, the story has spread online starting with the Washington Times and to the United Kingdom's Daily Mail.
"The story's gone international now," Freeman said, saying he was interviewed by several reporters Tuesday.
Cleaveland is also expected to appear on Fox and Friends Friday morning, he said.
Freeman is a blogger on the Free Keene website.
On May 2, the city filed a lawsuit against six citizens who are part of a group who have dubbed themselves Robin Hood of Keene.
In the case the city asks the court to prohibit residents Kate Ager, Ian Bernard, aka Ian Freeman, James Cleaveland, Graham Colson, Garrett Ean and Peter Eyre from coming within 50 feet of the city's three parking enforcement officers "during the performance of their employment duties for the City," the lawsuit says.
The group patrols downtown armed with video cameras and pockets full of change to fill expired parking meters before a city parking enforcement officer can issue a ticket.
Members of the group carry cards they leave under windshield wipers reading, "Your meter expired; however, we saved you from the king's tariffs, Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Please consider paying it forward," and includes an address where donations for the cause can be sent. They also leave flyers that inform people how to fight a ticket in court.

Several lawsuits against Monsanto over the unauthorized release of the company's biotech wheat have been consolidated into one case in Kansas.
Earlier this year, the USDA announced that glyphosate-tolerant "Roundup Ready" wheat had been discovered growing in an eastern Oregon field.
The variety was never deregulated by USDA for commercial production, leading Japan and South Korea to suspend imports of western white wheat. The countries eventually lifted the suspensions, but USDA's investigation into the release continues.
The incident also gave rise to numerous lawsuits against Monsanto, alleging that the company failed to prevent the biotech crop from contaminating wheat supplies while conducting field tests.
The lawsuits, mostly filed by wheat farmers, claimed that the unauthorized release has hurt wheat prices and export markets. The cases seek class action status that would allow other growers to join the litigation.
A panel of federal judges has now decided to merge five lawsuits originally filed in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Kansas into a consolidated case that will be heard by Chief Judge Kathryn Vratil in Kansas City.
Eleven other cases against Monsanto over biotech wheat may also be consolidated into the case unless the plaintiffs object.
The panel decided on Kansas as the appropriate forum because several cases originated there and because it's relatively close to Monsanto's headquarters in St. Louis, Mo., "where the majority of common evidence is likely to be located, including the witnesses and documents concerning Monsanto's field testing of genetically engineered wheat."
The Center for Food Safety, a non-profit group that filed one of the lawsuits, wanted the cases to be consolidated in Oregon or Washington, while Monsanto requested St. Louis.
The panel made a "Solomonic decision" in picking Kansas, said George Kimbrell, attorney for the group.
Court briefs and motions that have been submitted up until now in the individual cases will have to be refiled, but the consolidation will ultimately prevent duplicative efforts, he said.
"It's a more effective use of judicial resources," Kimbrell said.
Monsanto said it was also pleased with the consolidation decision, noting that the company continues to be confident that it properly followed protocols in ending the field testing program in 2005.
Motions filed by Monsanto in some cases prior to the consolidation order could offer a preview of the company's upcoming legal strategy.
The firm called the cases a "feeding frenzy" of litigation that alleges "injuries that have not occurred and, by all indications, never will."
Monsanto asked for the case to be dismissed because there's no evidence the plaintiffs received a depressed price for wheat or had to pay for additional testing, storage or transportation.
"Plaintiffs rushed to file their lawsuit based on rank speculation that Roundup Ready wheat would be found in fields throughout the Northwest, and that markets would continue to reject Northwest wheat deliveries forever. None of that speculation has proven true," Monsanto said in the document.

Manchester man killed in Auburn rollover accident
July 06. 2013 9:58AM
AUBURN — A Manchester man was killed late Friday when he lost control on a sharp, winding section of Route 121, authorities said Saturday.
Speed appeared to be a factor in the crash that claimed the life of Craig Jutras, 35, of 521 Merrimack St., according to Officer Christopher Beaule.
"The cause of death would be blunt force trauma," Beaule said.
"He took a corner too wide and over-corrected," he said. The front end of the 2000 GMC Sierra pickup "clipped a hill and it flipped" in front of 278 Route 121 around 10:30 p.m., Beaule said.
Jutras, the lone occupant, wasn't wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the vehicle.

Broadcast TV-over-Internet service Aereo to be launched in NHBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 24. 2013 2:08AM
Southern New Hampshire is about to become part of an expanding battleground over the future of broadcast television, as an Internet startup on Tuesday announced plans to bring its online TV technology to Greater Boston.
Aereo has offered online streaming of broadcast channels in the metropolitan New York City area for the past year. The company expects to start service in eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire by mid-May, as part of an expansion to 22 other U.S. markets in 2013.
"Our largest office is in Boston, so it made a lot of sense that it would be our first city outside of New York," said Aereo spokeswoman Virginia Lam.
The company offices on Summer Street house about 60 employees, mostly engineers and hardware developers, Lam said. Marketing, customer care, public relations and business development are based at offices in Long Island and Brooklyn.
Aereo combines old-fashioned antenna technology with cloud-based computing to assign each customer a dime-sized antenna that captures digital broadcast signals and transmits them in high-definition quality. Instead of being on each rooftop, the antennas are stored in a three-dimensional array in offices close to the signal source.
The signal is then transmitted to a virtual DVR in the "cloud," from which programs can be viewed as they are broadcast or saved for later viewing. Consumers can pause, rewind and fast-forward as well.
Court battle
An alliance of broadcast networks and cable companies, including CBS, Fox, ABC and NBC, sued in New York last year to block the Aereo startup in the metropolitan area.
The broadcasters claim that Aereo is stealing their signal and making money without compensating them for their programming. Aereo customers pay anywhere from $1 a day for the service.
Aereo argues that it is capturing signals that are broadcast over public airwaves in a manner that has always been available to consumers with rooftop antennas. The only difference is that Aereo is hosting the antenna, providing DVR services and charging a fee.
The networks failed to obtain an injunction blocking the launch of the service while their lawsuit works its way through the courts, setting the stage for a trial.
The key legal point is whether Aereo's service constitutes a public performance, which would violate copyright law, or a private viewing.
"We remain confident that our technology falls squarely within the law," said Lam. "Our core focus is now with our expansion and rolling out to the next round of cities."
Fox threatens big move
Chas Carey, chief operating officer for the Fox Network, said Fox would go off the air and strictly on cable if the broadcasters do not eventually prevail in court. "We need to be able to be fairly compensated for our content," he told Bloomberg News on April 9. "This is not an ideal path we look to pursue, but we can't sit idly by and let an entity steal our signal. We will move to a subscription model if that's our only recourse."
Aereo technology threatens to overturn the revenue model for the television and cable industry, which pays substantial fees for retransmission rights to broadcast signals.
Six N.H. counties
Whether Aereo will survive the months of court challenges and appeals that lie ahead remains to be seen. But beginning May 15, consumers in Southern New Hampshire who have pre-registered online at aereo.com will have a chance to experience the technology first-hand.
After May 30, Aereo plans to offer membership across the Boston designated market area, which includes more than 4.5 million consumers in 16 counties in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont. The New Hampshire counties in the coverage area are Belknap, Cheshire, Hillsborough, Merrimack, Rockingham and Strafford.
Subscribers will have access to 28 over-the-air broadcast channels, including all major networks; some special interest channels, such as the Country Network, PBS Kids, Ion and Qubo; and Spanish-language broadcast channels Univision and Telemundo.

Allen Lessels' UNH Notebook: 'Refocus' the mantra for UNH in playoffsBY ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 10. 2013 8:55PM
DURHAM -- OF COURSE the battle for the Hockey East regular-season championship and playoff positioning was going to come down to the last period of the last night of the season.
What else did anyone expect from a wild season that had more than half the league's teams contending for the title on the final weekend? The regular season ended in frustrating fashion for the University of New Hampshire hockey team at about 6:30 p.m. on Saturday night with a 4-4 tie against Maine at the Whittemore Center.
Things got a whole lot worse a few hours later when results came in from around the league. UNH dropped to the No. 5 seed in the tournament and its immediate post-season task and road to a Hockey East tournament title all of a sudden got much tougher.
The Wildcats play at No. 4 Providence College in a best-of-three quarterfinal series, beginning on Friday night at 7. The second game is on Saturday at 4 p.m. and a third, if necessary, is on Sunday at 4:30 p.m.
"We need to refocus," said UNH coach Dick Umile late on Sunday afternoon. "I believe we'll be fine. We've got to come back and play well. We played well in parts of the games over the weekend, but we didn't put it all together."
The Wildcats finished 18-9-7 overall and Providence was 15-12-7. Both teams were 13-8-6 in the league. They finished in a tie for third with Boston University and with tiebreakers BU earned the No. 3 seed, Providence was fourth and UNH fifth.
UNH went into the weekend in second place in the league, shooting for a regular-season title and needing two points to lock up a top-four spot and home ice for the quarterfinals.
A 4-3 loss to Maine on Friday night and Saturday's 4-4 tie gave the Wildcats just one point in the standings and helped derail any thoughts of home ice.
"It turned around quickly," Umile said. "Obviously we're disappointed to be on the road. We would have liked to be at home. It is what it is. It's playoff hockey time and we've got to go through Providence to get to Boston Garden. That's our schedule and that's our challenge."
The better news is UNH remains in decent shape in the bigger picture of the PairWise rankings that mimic the system used by the NCAA to pick at-large teams for the 16-team division I tournament.
The Wildcats were in a four-way tie for fifth - with North Dakota, Denver and Boston College - in the PairWise as of late Sunday afternoon. If UNH qualifies for the NCAAs, it will play in the Northeast Regional as the host school on March 29 and 30 at Verizon Wireless Arena.
Umile isn't counting on anything in regard to the NCAAs.
"Too many crazy things have happened," he said.
Besides, the national tournament is a concern for down the road.
For now, the Wildcats must regroup after a lost weekend and try to pick up some post-season momentum against a team they had little success with in the regular season.
The Friars beat UNH in a pair of one-goal games, 6-5 on Jan. 19 in Durham and 1-0 on Feb. 13 in Providence. The teams played to a 3-3 tie on Feb. 10 in Durham.
Tim Schaller, a senior forward from Merrimack, had an assist on the only goal in the 1-0 contest. Stefan Demopoulos scored it with just 2:48 left in the game.
Freshman goalie Jon Gillies made 37 saves for the win in that one. Bruce Gillies, Jon's father, played goalie at UNH in the 1980s.
Gillies has had an outstanding year and has a .932 save percentage and 2.06 goals-against average.
Schaller is third on the team in scoring with seven goals and 14 assists for 21 points.
Providence, hosting a first-round series for the first time since 2003, announced that tickets to the game will be available by 10 a.m. this morning at www.Friars.com/tickets.
THE SKIING TEAM matched its best result since 1994 when it finished eighth at the NCAA Championships that wrapped up on Saturday at Middlebury College.
Colorado won the championship, followed by Utah and defending champion Vermont. Denver was fourth and Dartmouth finished fifth.
Senior Anya Caldwell Bean of Wolfeboro led the Wildcats on the final day with a sixth-place finish in the freestyle cross country race for second-team All-American honors.
The men's alpine skiers turned in impressive finishes.
Senior Taylor Vest-Burton earned first-team All-American honors with a fifth place in slalom and was second-team All American with a sixth in giant slalom. Sophomore Coley Oliver finished second in giant slalom and junior Sam Coffey was third in slalom.
Freshman Randa Teschner was 10th in slalom for the women.
Senior Nordic skier Liz Guiney received the skiing Elite 89 Award for having the highest grade point average among competitors at the NCAAs. She has a 3.988 in genetics.
An Elite 89 award is given out at each of the 89 NCAA championships.
THE MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM closed out the season at 9-20 overall with a 61-42 loss to Vermont in the America East quarterfinals on Saturday. UNH was the No. 7 seed and Vermont the No. 2.
SOPHOMORE Katie Mann and junior Jenni Roberts are headed to the NCAA Swimming Championships in Indianapolis from March 21 to 23.
Mann will compete in the 400 individual medley, 200 individual medley and 200 breaststroke. Roberts is in the 200 IM and 100 and 200 fly.
THE LACROSSE TEAM is 0-4 and looks for its first win at Navy on Wednesday. Three of the losses have been by a total of four goals.

The coming of electricity also provides a medium for strengthening the social power of existing institutions. In Uroa electricity strengthened the standing of Islam, the villagers' religious practices, and their affiliation with global Islamic networks (
Star Floral Tea Dress Jigsaw RSNx0Msn
). Amplifiers and speakers ensured that people would wake up for the 5:00 a.m. call for prayers, tape recorders and television programs conveyed the messages of grand religious leaders, and electricity-driven water pumps ensured access to clean water. Overall, the bright, fluorescent light radiating from the village mosques at night testified to the purity and omnipresent power of Islam in this place, evoking Henrietta Moore's (1996) observation that the organization of the material world does not reflect social relations per se, but their representations. Because electricity's infrastructures are physically heavy, costly, and enduring, their configuration continues to remind observers of who holds power. Conversely, women's productive interests were not taken into account during electrification: female institutions in the village such as the mill and kindergarten were never electrified, reflecting women's subordinated status in Uroa.
At the same time, the introduction of new technologies set negotiations of cultural values into motion. Electricity was quickly integrated into funeral and wedding ceremonies in Uroa by providing light for cooking and other activities at night, as well as powering the amplifiers and speakers to be used during religious talks and for music. Electricity was regarded as so indispensable at funerals and weddings that the electricity company made allowances for increased electricity use during these ceremonies. Similarly, the company allowed husbands with several wives living in separate buildings to save costs by connecting their various houses to the same electric meter, which is against formal regulations. A striking feature of the arrival of electricity was that the practices associated with many institutions and ceremonies were modified; nevertheless, access to electricity reaffirmed rather than changed existing ideologies and power relations.

The Zanzibari case exemplifies electricity's potential to modify the geography of everyday movement, affecting everyday practices and relationships along the way. The desire to watch television prompted men to come home in the evening instead of spending time outside the house with friends. Living rooms were restructured to allow for gender-mixed settings of television viewing while still keeping a proper moral order. Due to the prestige of the modern couple hosting television-viewing time, the former gender hierarchy was temporarily challenged, elevating the female host's social position above that of male guests. In general, people would socialize more in the evenings and go to bed later, leaving spouses with less time for intimacy. Moreover, outdoor space was regarded as safer to humans because spirits were thought to prefer darkness and tended to withdraw from (en)lightened villages. With electric light, villagers reclaimed outdoor spaces at night that were formerly the domain of occult forces.

The Latest…
The first phase of the Maybank Highway Improvements, including repaving Maybank Highway and the addition of a 4-foot bike lane is complete. The second phase, involving adding a thirdlane from the Stono River Bridge to Main Road on Maybank Highway is expected to be completed by the fall of 2018. The third phase, which creates the northern and southern pitchfork roads, has been designed, however, permits have yet to be issued and the County has not issued funding for the construction of both roads arguing that they only have enough funds to complete the northern pitchfork. Delays have ensued due to the SCDOT requiring new turning facilities on River Road near the northern pitchfork after the City of Charleston approved a new development across the road. The City of Charleston worked with the adjacent developers to design a solution for River Road that eliminated the need for additional turning lanes by creating a roundabout at the entrance of one of the new neighborhoods and connecting it with the other new developments through an internal grid network of streets keeping in the spirit of the Johns Island Community Plan.
In May, 2018, Charleston County voted to once again delay issuing the necessary funds to move forward on construction of the northern pitchfork in order to do yet another traffic study for the roads. These constant delays by county officials do nothing but keep the residents of Johns Island stuck in a daily experience of gridlock while trying to enter the island from James Island.
About the Project
The bottleneck at the intersection of Maybank Highway and River Road is a daily frustration for Johns Island residents. "The pitchfork plan" is a solution that will give drivers a chance to turn north or south to their destination sooner and avoid the bottleneck. Widening Maybank Highway, however, would create a 5-lane high-speed thoroughfare, cutting down Grand trees, attracting big box/strip retail and automobile dependent businesses, thereby destroying the character of Johns Island. Developing without adherence to local character and heritage will transform our unique sea island into monotonous suburbia.
When Charleston County staff began moving forward on the plans for Maybank Highway improvements, it became apparent that the design standards required by Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), SCDOT, and other applicable federal laws for Maybank Highway were not in harmony with the community, the 2007 Johns Island Community Plan prepared by the City of Charleston, and the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Technical Assistance Panel (TAP) Recommendations as adopted by Charleston County. To eliminate these obstacles, it was recommended that the scope of the Maybank Highway Improvement Project be revised to include only improvements to Maybank Highway from the Paul J. Gelegotis Bridge over the Stono River to River Road. Further, based on the Conservation League's suggestion, it was recommended that the road section from River Road to the intersection with Main Road/Bohicket Road be resurfaced with the addition of 4-foot wide paved shoulders to accommodate bike lanes. It was anticipated that this refined scope could be designed, permitted, and constructed with the funding allocated by the Charleston County half-cent sales tax and would not require additional funding from the CHATS guideshare, thus alleviating regulatory obstacles. On April 22, 2014, after a highly contentious debate, Charleston County Council voted to recommend approval of the revised Maybank Pitchfork plan using only local funds. This decision is exactly the type of innovative, low cost approach to improving our road system for pedestrians and bikes and preserving Johns Island's character and quality of life that should be applied every time a project is considered.mini dress in viscose Sundek G5k5JaQf

Gas prices continued to edge downward in Montezuma County this week. As of Friday afternoon, regular unleaded at the local Shell, Giant, City Market and two Conoco stations was selling for $2.99 per gallon, almost a 60-cent drop from late November. At the Maverick Country Store on Highway 491, it went for $2.97.
In fact, this week marked the rare occasion where Cortez area stations were cheaper than their La Plata County counterparts. Motorists filling up at Durango's Peerless Tyre Co. - the perennial stop for thrifty gas shoppers there - paid $3.02 for regular Thursday. Although the bragging rights didn't last. Peerless dropped to $2.93 Friday.
As recently as Thanksgiving, Cortez residents were paying at least 25 cents more per gallon than Durangoans.
Local gas station managers interviewed seemed perplexed about the reversal of fortune. Steve Green, public relations manager for AAA, said he had no "handy explanation" for the anomaly.
"Normally Cortez is more expensive (than its neighbors) because it is off the beaten path from refineries and pipelines. This is just one of those moments," he said.
The price of gasoline is always in flux, but generally follows a predictable rhythm, Green added. After spikes in March/April and August/September, they start to fall as the travel season winds down - suppressing demand - and refineries switch to cold-weather fuel blends. Manufacturing costs for winter blends are cheaper because they don't require the same additives, and the savings get passed along to consumers.
In the grand scheme, Coloradans have little to complain about. The state is currently one of only three - with Utah and Wyoming - to dip below $3 for an average gallon of regular unleaded. Hawaiians paid a full dollar more per gallon. Of the lower 48, Connecticut topped the chart at $3.69.

Ted Siefer's City Hall: City down to the wire on school budget, superintendentTED SIEFER
May 25. 2013 11:54PM
Many a teacher has warned their students to not wait until the last minute, but it's advice that sometimes seems lost on the boards of school committee and aldermen. As the end of the school year fast approaches without a final budget or a superintendent.
But then there's that other adage, good things come to those who wait. It appears likely a budget will go before the aldermen, possibly as soon as this week, that will allocate up to $1 million more to the district than the budget proposed earlier in the year by Mayor Ted Gatsas.
Gatsas has proposed a 2014 fiscal year budget of $155.7 million, the maximum allowed under the tax cap.
The additional funds will come from the surplus that has steadily piled up in the latter months of the current fiscal year, thanks in large part to vehicle registration fees and departmental belt-tightening. According to the latest estimate from the Finance Department, the city is on track to finish the year $1.69 million in the black.
Aldermen Pat Long, Ward 3, and Joyce Craig, Ward 1, have been working over the past couple of months on the revised budget. Craig, you may recall, was the architect of the budget plan last year that sent another $2 million over to the school district, which served to blunt the impact of mass layoffs.
According to Craig, the proposed budget will use the surplus to bolster both the city and district spending plans proposed by the mayor.
Of course, Craig's plan is not a done deal. Other aldermen have been eyeing the surplus for their own priorities. But Craig and Long's plan has the advantage that it's already been run by Gatsas. He may not support everything in it, but he won't be blind-sided when his budget is finally pulled off the table for consideration.
That will most likely happen at a special meeting this week or, at latest, the week after. Under the charter, the budget must be finalized by the second Tuesday in June, which is the 11th.
All the while, there's another big moving part to consider - the ongoing negotiations with the teachers union. Gatsas has said that he'd like to see any additional money for teachers come from contract concessions, in particular on their health care plans.
Of course, the biggest question mark hanging over the school district is who will take the helm after Superintendent Thomas Brennan leaves in about a month. The superintendent post, after all, is "the most important hire in the city," as Gatsas has said.
With time running short, perhaps it's not surprising that there's a rumor going around that Gatsas approached John Rist for the superintendent job. Rist is the former Central High principal who was tapped as the interim principal at West High in the wake of the turmoil there.
Gatsas is not one to respond to rumors. "I talk to a lot of people," he said. And Rist was unavailable for comment. (The same rumor goes that he's not interested in the job.)
But Gatsas did say that he's been astonished by the changes he's seen at West since the resignation of the former principal, MaryEllen McGorry, for reasons the district has yet to disclose.
"I can tell you, at West there is a whole different level of confidence, morale and student excitement," he said.
Gatsas acknowledged that he can't say the same for every school he visits.
"There have been an awful lot of schools that have great concerns. Teacher morale is down. We need to find a way to get the district to a place where everyone is working for a common cause, for the children," he said.
- - - - - - - -
Meanwhile, the school board's superintendent search committee is set to have a closed-door meeting on Friday at which time it will narrow down a list of five finalists, who will then be invited to the city for interviews the following week.
For his part, school board member Ted Rokas, Ward 5, the committee chairman, said he feels good about the direction things are going.
"I've had talks with the search firm, and they told me they've got even better candidates than the first time," he said, referring to the three candidates who came to Manchester in March - and were sent packing.
- - - - - - - -
On the topic of education, Gatsas' Democrat opponent for mayor, Ward 12 Alderman Patrick Arnold, picked up a couple of big, if unsurprising, endorsements last week.
Patrick was endorsed by the Manchester Education Association, the city teachers union, and the National Education Association-New Hampshire, the main statewide teacher union.
"I'm proud to receive support from educational professionals in Manchester and throughout our state," Arnold said in a statement. "Though we have dedicated educators and students who want to learn in our schools, we also face an educational crisis in our city, which Mayor Gatsas has only made worse."
Ben Dick, the MEA president, called Arnold "the clear choice in this race for parents, students and taxpayers of our community."
- - - - - - - -
At their meeting Tuesday, the aldermen OK'd one of the more novel ideas to come out of City Hall in some time. Coming to downtown will be six "spare change" meters, retooled parking meters where passersby can deposit coins that will help fund programs at the New Horizons shelter and soup kitchen. The idea is to both raise money and deter panhandling.
But there was one little wrinkle in the plan. The first $260 collected in the meters was to go to the city to cover the cost of installation. The first donors would unwittingly be sending their money to City Hall.
Thanks to Mike Craig and Art Gatzoulis of the Craig & Gatzoulis law firm, that wrinkle has been ironed out.
The firm agreed to donate $260 to cover the initial costs. Craig, not so incidentally, is the husband of Alderman Joyce Craig. Credit where credit is due.
- - - - - - - -
If the mayor's gig doesn't work out, Gatsas might want to consider trying out for "America's Got Talent." It seems he's been taking a star turn of late.
A couple of weeks ago, he was a judge at a dancing contest at the Moore Center, which assists special needs adults. The week before that, he stepped up to play bass in an impromptu ensemble at McLaughlin Middle School. He was a big hit with the students, and now photos of the mayor getting down are making the rounds on Facebook.
Gatsas characteristically downplayed his creative talents.
"It took longer to teach me how to play than to perform," Gatsas said. "I'm not looking to perform for the Boston Pops."

With Love is singer Rosie Thomas' first full-length album in four years, and she's experienced many ups and downs in that time. One of the downs was an injury: Her thyroid broke, causing her to take a hiatus from music.
"It's very humbling," Thomas tells NPR's Laura Sullivan. "It took about two years to get that in order, but what's amazing about that is that in that timeline, I got engaged. I planned a beautiful wedding on my grandfather's farm with a parade. I took a break for the first time in a while, and I just sat and looked at life for the first time. God gave me pause for the first time, and I took it, because I had to. A lot of joy, a lot of sorrow, a lot of hardship, a lot of wisdom gained in that time."
The music on With Love contains more pop than folk, which was more prominent in her earlier work. Thomas says that's a result of her time off.
"The doctor said, 'One day, Rosie, you're just going to wake up and you'll feel better,'" she says. "And it happened. The birds chirped and the sun came out, and I thought, this is my day. ... I had a lot of joy in my heart, and I wanted to share that, sing from that great big heart of mine. And so it caused me to write tunes in a different meter, more hand claps — there was just more joy to be had."
Working on the album with Sam Beam (of Iron and Wine) and David Bazan helped Thomas push herself out of her comfort zone. She says that, although she was known for being fun and lighthearted in her stage banter, she had yet to put that personality across in her recorded music.
"Dave kept saying, 'You're your best asset. You're the best character to play,'" Thomas says. "Sam kept saying, 'Make a record that makes you uncomfortable.' I thought, 'That's peculiar, Sam — life's uncomfortable enough!'
"For the first time, I have a bit more life experience, and I have something to offer back," Thomas says. "It feels like a greater responsibility. It's a wonderful thing."
If you're just joining us, you're listening to WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Laura Sullivan. And it's time now for music.
SULLIVAN: Singer-songwriter Rosie Thomas' new album is called "With Love." And the title says it all. It's all about love.
ROSIE THOMAS: (Singing) Where, oh, where was I?
SULLIVAN: It's Thomas' first record in four years, and a lot has happened during that time. The singer did fall in love, but she also became seriously ill with a thyroid disorder. And for the first time in her career, she was forced to take a break and stop touring.
THOMAS: And so it took about two years to sort of get that in order. But what's amazing about that is in that timeline, I got engaged; I planned a beautiful wedding on my grandfather's farm, with a parade. You know, that's why I say a lot of joy, a lot of sorrow, a lot of hardship - but a lot of wisdom gained in that time, which is wonderful.
SULLIVAN: Well, you poured all of that into this new album.
THOMAS: Yes, I did. I did.
SULLIVAN: And you chronicle a lot of these experiences in one of the tracks on the new album. It's called "A Really Long Year."
THOMAS: (Singing) Yeah, it's been a really long year. Flew to Oklahoma and that's where he got down on one knee. When I told my mom, she was in tears. The day we pulled out her wedding gown, she hadn't looked at it in 40 years. And I, I watch her reminisce for a while, just 19 and walking down the aisle.
SULLIVAN: It's such a beautiful song. I mean, it just really captures - sort of the joy and the wonder of falling in love. And the song ends with the lines: I never thought that I would see the day I danced with Grandpa on my wedding day.
THOMAS: Mm-hmm.
SULLIVAN: I mean, was marriage something that you just never pictured for yourself?
THOMAS: Yeah, kind of. You know, I think that I never really stopped to think I would have, you know, whatever we claim as normalcy. I would see my friends getting married and think, good for them. I've got all these things I got to do, and that's OK if that's not for me. And then it happened. It happened to me, you know.
SULLIVAN: This album is - it's quite different from your previous work. It's more pop than it is folk.
SULLIVAN: Is that something you did on purpose?
THOMAS: Well, it's funny. I don't know if I meant to, you know? I had all this time, you know, after I sort of went through the thyroid breakdown and debacle. And I really enjoyed playing music in such a different way coming out of that season. And so it caused me to write tunes in a different meter. More handclaps - you know, there was just more joy to be had.
SULLIVAN: Well, let's listen to the song "Over the Moon," from the album "With Love." It's - I mean, it's one of my favorites.
THOMAS: Oh, mine, too. Mine, too.
THOMAS: (Singing) When I think of your love, it puts a joy in my step. The way you play with my heart makes me your instrument. When I'm walking with you, feels like I'm walking on clouds. I always feel up just by you being around 'cause you fill me with love. Yeah, you fill me with love. You fill me with love...
SULLIVAN: It's such a great pop song.
THOMAS: Yeah, isn't that awesome? I wrote that.
SULLIVAN: I've often heard that it's easier to write about, you know, pain and heartbreak...
THOMAS: Oh, yeah. Yes.
SULLIVAN: ...than it is to write about love and happiness. Is it true?
THOMAS: Yeah. In my opinion, it's true. I mean, listen, I wear my heart on my sleeve. You know, my entire life, I've been trying to build people up, trying to build myself up. It's a lot easier to do that when you're - when you've got the sorrow going. Boy, can you really say some cool things, you know.
This boy said to me after a show, when he found out I was getting married. He said Rosie, can I ask you something? I said, you've got it. He said, are you going to write the same kind of tunes now that you're getting married? I said, don't you worry. I'm still totally depressed.
THOMAS: And he said, awesome. I said, yeah! And we high-fived, you know. Sam said to me - Sam Beam, when I did the Iron & Wine tour - he said, do you find it harder to write songs now that, you know, you're married, and now that you fell in love? I said yeah, it's different. But, you know, it's cool. It gives me a different repertoire. So if I fall in love, then I know what that feels like now, and I can sing about it because I actually know what it feels like. And I want it for everybody else, too.
SULLIVAN: Rosie, you worked with pretty famous musicians on the album: Sufjan Stevens, who you've worked with before; and Sam Beam, who you mentioned, from Iron & Wine; and David Bazan, from Pedro the Lion. And I've read that both Sam Beam and David Bazan encouraged you to let it out vocally.
THOMAS: Yes.
SULLIVAN: What, exactly, did you let out?
THOMAS: Oh, my personality. I think that's a big one.
SULLIVAN: So it sounds like before, you were a sort of a shy singer.
THOMAS: Yeah. Absolutely. I think I still had yet to figure out what I had to say. And I think for the first time - this time around, I have a bit more life experience, and I have something to offer back.
SULLIVAN: And when you're going from singing shy...
THOMAS: Yes.
SULLIVAN: ...to singing loud...
THOMAS: Yes.
SULLIVAN: ...was there a moment where you said yeah, I can do this; I can totally do this.
THOMAS: We had three hours every night where I would sing for three hours straight. And I loved it. I mean, I felt like J Lo or Beyonce. I mean, I just could not wait. This is my Aretha Franklin moment, I think. And I started pushing out, and Dave would say, do it again. I'd sing it again. Do it again, he'd say. And I'd sing it again. And finally, one moment, he came into the sound room, and his arm hairs are standing up. And he said now, I believe you. And I knew what he meant. I sang from the heart.
SULLIVAN: What song were you singing?
THOMAS: I was singing "Back to Being Friends."
SULLIVAN: Well, why don't we take a listen to that one right now?
SULLIVAN: (Singing) If we went back to being friends, what would it do, what would it mend when we were meant to be so much more.
Rosie, this album is all about love.
THOMAS: Mm-hm.
SULLIVAN: Where are you going to go from here?
THOMAS: Oh, man. We'll see what happens this next time around. But, you know, life is going to present that to me. And I say, all I'm going to do from here is keep my eyes open, and keep my heart open - always - and I'll sing about that.
SULLIVAN: That's singer-songwriter Rosie Thomas. Her new album, "With Love," is out now, and you can hear a few tracks off the album at our website, nprmusic.org. Rosie, thank you so much for being here.
THOMAS: Thank you. You're wonderful.
THOMAS: (Singing) How I wish that I had told you more and more how much I loved you so. How could I have known that you'd leave me here alone? I'd never get the chance to really let you know. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

A cold front coming from the central part of Utah and northwest Colorado will cause temperatures to drop about 20 degrees in Durango over the weekend.
While there may be a few snow showers in the San Juan Mountains, none of the precipitation is expected to reach Durango, Travis Booth, a forecaster in Grand Junction for the National Weather Service, said Friday.
The high temperature today is expected to be in the mid-30s in Durango and in the teens in the San Juans. It will drop into the low-teens in Durango tonight, Booth said.
Sunday will be a few degrees warmer in the upper-30s, with temperatures returning to the mid-50s in the middle of next week.
Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort received 5 inches of snow Thursday and announced Friday it is extending weekend ski operations into April.
Daily operations will stop March 31, but the resort will be open the first weekend of April and lift tickets will be discounted to $59 for adults, said resort spokeswoman Kim Oyler. Lifts will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 5-7.
The resort is still determining if weekend operations will extend past the first weekend.
Wolf Creek Ski Area has announced its closing date will be April 7.

The quantification of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue was performed with the automatic tissue and labeling analysis software ATLAS and an in-house developed software from the University of Ulm [ 14 ]. Thus, three stations were composed according to the magnetic resonance table position. The semiautomated image analysis comprised a reading consisting of ATLAS quantification and a subsequent manual correction applied from a medical doctor and a medical student after certification. Adipose tissue of both arms and breast tissue were excluded from quantitative image analysis. Intra- and inter-observer were calculated in a random subsample of 5%. The intra-observer variability was given as mean and 1.96 standard deviation and ranges from -0.24 ± 3.37% to 1.75 ± 4.98% for the subcutaneous adipose tissue and from -0.59 ± 2.08% to 1.47 ± 3.19% for the visceral adipose tissue. The inter-observer variability was 1.59 ± 4.54% for subcutaneous adipose tissue and 0.56 ± 3.15% for the visceral adipose tissue. Intra-class-correlation ranges was 0.998 for subcutaneous and 0.999 for visceral adipose tissue. Fig 2 presents the MRI post-processing, depicting the fat quantification pipeline.
Subcutaneous adipose tissue is highlighted red, visceral adipose tissue is highlighted green, other fat tissue is highlighted yellow.

To assess socio-demographic and behavioral characteristics, a computer-assisted personal interview was conducted. Data on sex, age, alcohol consumption, and physical training were acquired, as well as data on medical history including pregnancy, gynecological surgery, bilateral oophorectomy, and medication use. Beverage-specific pure ethanol volume proportions were used to evaluate mean daily alcohol consumption. Physical inactivity was defined as less than one hour of physical training per week during winter or summer. Regarding smoking habits, every participant was placed in one of three categories: current, former, and never-smoker.
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured after a resting period of at least five minutes on the right arm of seated subjects using an oscillometric digital blood pressure monitor (HEM-705CP, Omron Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). Three measurements were performed with an interval between the readings of three minutes. The mean of the second and third measurement was used. Hypertension was defined as blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg or use of antihypertensive medication (ATC codes C02, C03, C04, C07, C08, C09) [ 15 ].
A summative score consisting of diagnosis of angina pectoris, peripheral artery disease, heart failure, stroke, and/or myocardial infarction was used to define cardiovascular disease. Self-reported physician's diagnosis, use of antidiabetic medication (ATC code A10) and/or HbA1c ≥6.5% and <20% were used to define type 2 diabetes mellitus. Waist circumference ≥120 cm, blood pressure ≥130/85 mmHg or self-reported antihypertensive drug treatment, non-fasting glucose ≥6.1 mmol/l or antidiabetic treatment (ATC codes A10A, A10B), non-fasting triglycerides ≥1.7 mmol/ l or lipid-lowering treatment (ATC codes C10AB, A10AD), and/or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ≤1.3 mmol/l were used for the assessment of metabolic syndrome and are premised on the Joint Scientific Statement to harmonize metabolic syndrome [

]. Self-reported physician's diagnoses were used to define dyslipidemia and/or cancer. Dimension Vista 500 analytical system (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics GmbH, Eschborn, Germany) was used to measure total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Skilled technical personnel performed all assays according to the manufacturers' recommendations.
Women were stratified into pre- and post-menopausal applying a previously published categorization: Women aged between 40 and 60 years or <40 years of age who reported menstrual cycle were classified as pre-menopausal. Women aged between 40 and 60 years and women ≥ 60 years of age who reported no menstrual cycle were classified as post-menopausal [
]. Use of oral contraceptive (G03A) and/or hormone therapy (G03C, G03D, or G03F) was assessed based on ATC codes [

Categorical data are given as percentage; continuous data are given as mean (standard deviation) or median (p25, p75). For bivariate comparisons the Kruskal-Wallis test (continuous data) or χ2-test (nominal data) were used to compare men and women. All models were stratified by sex. Analyses of variance (ANOVA) and multivariable quantile regression models were performed to estimate the independent associations of sex hormones (exposure variables) as either categorical or continuous variables with anthropometric markers as well as leptin levels (outcome variables). In ANOVA, exposure variables were categorized into three groups according to their tertiles. To detect possible nonlinear associations, quantile regression models with restricted cubic splines with three knots pre-specified located at the 5th, 50th and 95th percentile were compared by likelihood ratio test to the fit of a linear model. ANOVA models were adjusted for age, sex, smoking and physical inactivity. Quantile regression models were additionally adjusted for diabetes, hypertension, and cholesterol. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Statistical analyses were performed with SAS 9.4 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA).

Lee Jones (left) celebrates after learning she won her race for county commissioner (Sophia Saliby, WFIU/WTIU News)
In every county-wide contested race in Monroe County, a woman ended up on top. There were six contested races among Democratic candidates.
That included three open judges' seats. Darcie Fawcett won the race for Circuit Court Division 9, Seat 8. Catherine Stafford is the Democratic nominee for the Circuit court Division 6, Seat 3.
And in the closest race of the night, Christine Talley Hasemen edged out Monroe County Prosecutor Chris Gaal by 27 votes in the race for Circuit Court Division 2, Seat 3.
Final results just came in. Talley-Hasemen edged out Gaal by less than 30 votes in that race for the judge's seat. The room thinks there may be a recount.

Erika Oliphant won the race for County Prosecutor, which Gaal vacated so he could run for judge.
Kate Wiltz is the Democratic candidate for the Monroe County Council District 2 seat. She says it was the 2016 election that made her want to get more involved in the community.
"Realizing that it was a starting point for really for stepping in and seeing what I could do, and local level is what I can do," she says.
Catherine Stafford cited the fact that the county has had a strong history of women leaders and political groups like the Democratic Women's Caucus when it came to the election results
"I think women are very energized by the 2016 election results, and I think Monroe County have been energized long before that," she says.
Lee Jones ran against incumbent Patrick Stoffers who was seeking his fourth term as Monroe County commissioner. Jones talked about the importance of party unity in her victory speech, especially after successfully challenging a long-serving Monroe County official.
"It wasn't always comfortable to be running against someone who I thought well of," she says.
The county GOP did not put up candidates in the primary for those judges' seats or for county prosecutor. They have until the end of June to caucus.

IEEE Internet Initiative eNewsletter, November 2016
Although the Internet was considered a luxury commodity a mere decade ago, it can now be considered one of the most essential of public utilities along with water, electricity and natural gas. Electricity was considered a luxury commodity in the early 19 th century and quickly became a public utility in the 20 th century. The Internet has done the same recently. Electricity has mechanized the world and helped reduce poverty, while Internet access can facilitate easier management of other public utilities and promote clean governance on a wider scale. For those with access, and those without, the Internet has become a necessary part of daily life.

posited that access to the Internet is an invaluable tool, yet four billion people worldwide remain unconnected. While citizens of developed countries have a tendency to take inexpensive and reliable Internet access for granted, most of the world struggles to secure the same privilege. In both developing and developed countries, there are those who live without access to the Internet.
Research has documented that the Internet has a positive impact "in areas such as health, education, basic financial services and agriculture", World Economic Forum, 2016 . The various benefits to having universal and reliable access to the knowledge that the Internet provides have also been well documented. As the Internet becomes a necessary part of daily life, those responsible for the technological functioning of the Internet as well as for the ever increasing policy surrounding Internet governance, have stepped up to address the gap in universal access, including industry standards leader IEEE.
IEEE Board of Directors recently approved IEEE's first position statement on universal access and endorsed its goal to expand access to the billions of people in both developed and developing countries around the world that do not currently have Internet access. Within the framework of the
IEEE Experts in Technology and Policy (ETAP)
working group, and under the umbrella of
Jil Sander Navy Heeled mules nero/tan GeNJ2U
coordinated by IEEE Consultant Jared Bielby, more than a dozen experts worldwide have mobilized under the leadership of writer/researcher and IEEE Senior Member Prasad Mantri to identify and address the main options and challenges for universal access. The group has identified six necessary challenges for addressing global equitable Internet access, the first three of which are presented below.

Tuesday, November 06, 2012 - Albert and Roman - FULL CONTACT
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Albert Kroka is about to take a bath. He comes in with the final jug of water, to pour into his bath. Then he drops his toga and climbs in. At first he squats in the bath, getting used to the hot water, and then he sits, with his legs hanging out. He begins to wash himself as Roman Ditrich arrives to help. Roman goes behind Albert and uses a sponge to gently wash his body. Leaning forward Roman then kisses Albert. He moves to the side and uses a hand to lift Albert out of the water, kissing him some more. Albert's cock is rock hard as the kissing continues. Roman then takes hold of Albert's big cock and starts to suck it. His hot mouth works over the cock and up and down the shaft, sucking it as deep as he can. Moving back around the bath Roman then presents his own stiff dick to Albert, who takes it in his mouth. His tongue swirls over the cock and up and down the shaft, then he takes the cock in his mouth, sucking it hard. Roman's cock is throbbing as it is sucked and he soon wants more. Albert stands and bends over, presenting his ass to Roman who starts to rim the tight hole. Then he stands a slides his rock hard cock deep inside. He fucks Albert with nice long strokes, speeding up as he goes. Albert loves the feeling of his ass being filled and soon changes position so that he can sit down on the cock and ride it. His ass bounces up and down on that shaft taking as much as he can get. His own cock is rock hard and swings back and forth as he rides Roman's. They change position again, with Albert on his back and Roman pumping his ass again. His cock stretches the hole as it slides in an out. It isn't too long before Roman is ready to cum and pulls out to shoot his big creamy load all over Albert's balls. Albert is ready too and stands in front of Roman, shooting his cum all over his face. Roman then takes the spent cock in his mouth to drain it completely to end a lovely scene.
Flip Cervenka and Jakub Frydl are two very nice looking new models. We put them together to see how far they might go with a guy for their first time. Starting off on the bed, but quite far apart they are, first, told to scoot closer together. Then they begin to rub each other's groins. Filip stands and allows Jakub to pull down his underwear. Then Filip reciprocates, removing Jakubs shorts. Both naked then kneel on the bed and begin to run their hands over each other. Jakub then oils Filips body, including his cock, which grows and stiffens very well. Soon it is rock hard and standing proud. Jakub takes hold of that cock in his hand and gives it a quick wank. They then stand on the bed, with Jakub behind Filip, reaching around his body to take hold of that cock and again and wanking on it. As Jakub continues to slowly Filip his partner oils him up too and wanks him. Then, facing each other Filip takes both cocks in one hand and wanks them together. Time to go just a little bit further and the guys take turns to kneel in front of each other, wanking the cock and leaning forward to kiss it. We then get a view of both asses as the guys are on their backs, lifting their legs in the air. The Jakub stands astride Filip, whose legs are up, so that his ass in on display and available for oiling. Filip then does the same for Jakub. After a nice, gentle introduction into guy-guy play the guys settle down and wank each other, with Filip being the first to blow a nice load for us. Jakub follows with his own cum very soon afterwards, to finish a very nice scene.
Kuba Dochvilny is aged 22 and lives in Pelhrimov. He is a student who enjoys sports, basketball and swimming. What a great looking guy Kuba is. After his interview he stands and begins to feel himself, under his tee-shirt with hand, while the other slips into his jeans. Removing the tee shirt we see that Kuba has a very good build, his chest is massive and has a nice amount of hair on the pecs. He continues to grope himself and turns around so that we get a nice back view. Turning again, with the jeans open we have a teaser view of Kuba's cock before he turns and pushes the jeans down to show his ass. The ass is nicely framed by his tan lines and when he turns again and lays on the sofa we see that his cock is nice and hard. It is a big thick cock too. Kuba takes some oil and drips it onto his body, rubbing it in and wanking some into his cock. Pushing it up, towards the camera, we see that hard cock in all its glory. Lifting his ass off the sofa we see that it has a lovely shape to it. It is a very erotic view of that ass and even more erotic is when Kuba kneels on the sofa, with his cock rock hard and pointing skywards. Next he lays on the sofa and lifts his legs high in the air to show his tight, hot hole. With his cock staying so hard Kuba has it all and turns over to show his ass some more, with that cock pushed back between his legs. The cheeks spread very nicely so that Kuba's hole is in full view. Kneeling again on the sofa he then wanks himself to a wonderful climax, with his cum shooting everywhere. Finally he moves to the shower to clean up. What a great shoot with a really good model.
Radim Valovy is a miner from Novy Jicin. He is 26 years old and enjoys girls and drinking and in his spare time likes ice-hockey and football. He is a very nice looking guy who very quickly gives a very nice display of his sexy ass, with his cheeks spread wide apart. Then it is on to his cock, in its flaccid state. It isn't long before he has it nice and hard for us though. Posing for the camera with that cock fully to attention Radim looks great. He goes back to showing that hot ass again and slipping a finger inside. As a finale he also teases his ass with a dildo, which augurs well for his erotic video, when it comes online next week.

Brother says bombing victim Jeff Bauman helped ID suspectBy ASJYLYN LODER and ESMÉ E. DEPREZ
April 18. 2013 11:52PM
Minutes before the bombs blew up in Boston, Jeff Bauman looked into the eyes of the man who tried to kill him.
Just before 3 p.m. on April 15, Bauman was waiting among the crowd for his girlfriend to cross the finish line at the Boston Marathon. A man wearing a cap, sunglasses and a black jacket over a hooded sweatshirt looked at Jeff, 27, and dropped a bag at his feet, his brother, Chris Bauman, said in an interview.
Two and a half minutes later, the bag exploded, tearing Jeff's legs apart. A picture of him in a wheelchair, bloodied and ashen, was broadcast around the world as he was rushed to Boston Medical Center. He lost both legs below the knee.
"He woke up under so much drugs, asked for a paper and pen and wrote, 'bag, saw the guy, looked right at me,'" Chris Bauman said yesterday in an interview.
Those words may help crack the mystery of who perpetrated one of the highest-profile acts of terror in the U.S. since the 2001 assault on New York City and the Washington area, one that killed three people and wounded scores.
While still in intensive care, Jeff Bauman gave the FBI a description of the man he saw, his brother said. Bauman's information helped investigators narrow down whom to look for in hours of video of the attack, he said.
The bureau released video images of two men yesterday. Both men have on hooded sweatshirts under dark jackets; one is wearing a light-colored baseball cap turned backward on his head, while the other is wearing a dark baseball cap facing forward. Both are carrying large backpacks.
"I've had many times alone with (Jeff), and yes, he told me every single detail," Chris Bauman said.
Paul Bresson, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington, declined to comment on specific tips in the continuing investigation. Two FBI agents interviewed at the Boston office declined to confirm or deny the account.
On Monday, Remy Lawler, 25, was standing with Jeff Bauman, said her father, Arthur Lawler, of Amesbury. Shortly before the explosion, Remy, who's the roommate of Jeff's girlfriend, Erin Hurley, moved closer to the finish line, away from Bauman and another friend, to take better photographs.
She suffered a baseball-sized shrapnel wound.
Shortly after, Lawler called her mother's cell phone and left a message in which she cried "Mom! Mom!" Medics could be heard telling her, "You're going to be all right," her father said.
"She feels guilty about a lot of this - that she wasn't with her friends," Arthur Lawler said.
It would take hours before the Bauman family knew what had happened to Jeff. They learned about it the way much of the world did: the grisly image on television of their son being wheeled from the scene, his lower legs destroyed.
Erika Schneider, Bauman's sister, saw it first. "She called my mom, freaking out," Chris said. Chris was working at a McDonald's near their home in Concord when his mother called him.
"Chris, you have to sprint home," she said. "Something's happened."

Thirteen snared in Laconia-area drug bustBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 06. 2013 4:36PM
LACONIA - Thirteen area residents were arrested on drug-related charges Wednesday in a roundup that involved local, state and federal law enforcement, Laconia police announced.
Charges ranged from mere possession of marijuana to sale of hard drugs such as heroin and oxycodone.
Laconia police Capt. William Clary said the people arrested include users and street-level dealers. The arrests capped investigations that involved sales and earlier-executed search warrants, he said.
"This is what we've been doing for several months," Clary said. "Some people thought they were free and clear. They'll never know when we come knocking."
He said the arrests will make people think twice about selling drugs in Laconia.Those arrested range from 19 years to 65 years of age. Seven gave residents of Laconia; others were from Belmont, Meredith, Franklin and New Hampton.
All were released on their own recognizance, and Clary said he hopes to win indictments against them when the Belmont County grand jury meets later this month.
The arrests were made by officers with Laconia and Belmont police, the Attorney General's Drug Task Force and the U.S. Marshal Service.
The thirteen are:
- Roberta Rama, 20, of Laconia. Possession of marijuana.
- Ryan Tuckett, 32, Laconia. Possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
- Betsy Page, 54, Laconia. Sale of marijuana in a school zone.
- Ronald Steele, 19, Laconia. Possession of marijuana.
- Bradley Swinton, 65. Possession of marijuana with intent to distribute in a school zone.
- Sarah Smith, 25, Laconia. Conspiracy to sell crack cocaine.
- Stacey Gates, 37, Belmont. Sale of heroin. Criminal liability for another in the sale of heroin.
- Elisabeth Gates, 30, Belmont. Sale of heroin.
- Kerry Defeo, 25, Meredith. Transporting oxycodone in a motor vehicle.
- Alisha Morgan, 31, Franklin. Three counts, sale of cocaine.
- William Butler, 31, New Hampton. Three possession counts: heroin, Suboxen, Gabapentin.
- Garrett Brue, 19, Laconia. Conspiracy to sell oxycodone.
- Nicholas Ross, 23, Belmont. Sale of oxycodone.

Last updated Jun 19, 2013
I am from the Mississippi Gulf Coast and I work at one of the local Casino's here. I moved to Las Vegas after Hurricane Katrina for work. After living there for a few weeks, I had to get a car because I was depending on other ppl to get me to work. I bought this car in Oct. of '05 and it had barely over 60k miles and I got it for $6k out the door. Pretty good deal I think. No body damage and the inside was pretty clean. After moving back to MS in June of '06, the Mountain Cat came with me and made the 2k mile trip with no problem. In January of '08 I hit some debris on the road coming home one night from work and totaled my car! I bought her back from the insurance Co. and repaired the damage, but the fuel lines were destroyed and, with my luck, they were discontinued from the factory. So began my 2yr search for fuel lines! After finally finding some in good shape, the Cat is purring again. Another yr passes before I get the work on the front end completed, Upper and Lower Control Arms, tires, etc........, and get the road inspection so I can get my tag. Now I have my "Rebuilt Title" and the car isn't worth much to anyone but me. Now, I begin my quest to really make this Cat purr! This is all real new to me, so I'm not real sure where to begin, but I do need new rims for her because I believe mine are warped from the accident and I would love to have her painted. The body is in excellent condition. No dings or rust. Just oxidation, scratches and what looks like the clear coat wearing off. Any input would be greatly excepted!
