My husband Steve and I had been to Italy three times and thought it was time to do a tour of the south; however, I was apprehensive about travelling there. I had heard stories about petty theft and Mafia crime.
But this month-long adventure quickly made me realize the people in southern Italy were no less warm, friendly and welcoming than those in the north.
Steve and I started our tour after being in Rome for three days.
We picked up a rental car, a yellow Fiat Panda, which we nicknamed Banana Panda. Equipped with GPS, we headed for Sorrento. We stopped in Pompeii en route and were surprised at how big and impressive the site was and marvelled at the views of Vesuvius.
In Sorrento we checked into the Hotel Grande De La Ville, which had two pools, served up a fabulous breakfast and offered excellent service.
We took the ferry from there to Capri and the funicular to the summit to enjoy the view.
Heading down the Amalfi coast on the winding, twisting road with marvellous views of the Bay of Naples, our next stop was just outside the town of Amalfi, at the Villa St. Michele.
We meandered down cliffside pathways to our room with balcony on the water's edge.
Rather than drive, we took the local bus up the hill on a hair-raising ride to the breathtakingly beautiful town of Ravello. A 10-minute walk through the town took us to the garden at Villa Cimbrone, with its gorgeous vistas, statuary and amazing views from the Terrace of Infinity.
Next we drove through the lush, green countryside of Campania to Basilicata, the poorest of the Italian provinces, to the cave town called Matera, once the shame of Italy.
It was haunting to see the caves, or "sassi," where families once lived with their livestock in the side of the hills. People were moved out of the caves into apartments starting in 1954 after novelist Carlo Levi shocked the country with his descriptions of life there.
Matera was made famous by the Levi in Christ Stopped at Eboli and by numerous film directors, including Pier Paolo Pasolini and Mel Gibson.
In 1993 Matera was the first town in southern Italy included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. Our room at Hotel Caveoso, was a refurbished sassi.
From Matera, we went to Alberobello, in Puglia, (the heel of the boot). Arriving here was a like stepping into a storybook. We checked into our hotel, the bed and breakfast Trulli Pietradimora, which contained three guest rooms. A trulli is a dwelling of the Puglia region of Italy, with conical roof structures.
We were the only ones in the hotel for the first couple of days. In the morning Danielle, the concierge, would bring us our breakfast on the terrace. For the rest of the time, we would lock up after we went out and let ourselves in in the evening. Puglia was very affordable and not accessible by train, which meant there were fewer tourists.
We quickly discovered the Rinnacola restaurant around the corner from our hotel and ate there every night because it was so delicious. We sat on the roof surrounded by the trulli and enjoyed local specialties, mostly accompanied with orecchiette pasta.
After dinner we would come back to the hotel, get a bottle of local wine, some of the finest whites in Italy, and sit on the roof deck of our hotel. Surrounded by the conical roofs of the trulli, with swallows swooping over the rooftops, it was like being in a Dr. Seuss story.
From Alberobello, we took a day trip to the capital of Puglia, Lecce. This is known as the "Florence of the south" because of the baroque architecture of many of the churches and monuments. We didn't know what to expect, but Lecce both surprised and delighted us.
Lecce was first a Greek city, then a Roman town. We started our visit at piazza Sant'Oronzo, site of the most important local Roman ruins: a 25,000-seat amphitheatre from the first century BC and a column that originally stood in Brindisi to mark the end of the Appian Way.
Nearby was the church of Santa Croce with its baroque facade and beautiful Renaissance interior.
While travelling through Calabria, our GPS sometimes lost the plot, and we would end up down some little country cow road. We eventually made it to Tropea, where we stayed for two nights, after a brief visit to Pizzo with its beautiful facades and a lovely piazza.
Tropea had marvellous beaches with pure white sand and clear aqua blue water. Our hotel, Villa Antica Tropea, wins the prize for the best mini bar ever, with 10 bottles of wine. The hotel breakfast was creative. The first day we were served freshly cooked green beans, a plate of cheeses and meats and a plate of cream pastries.
After taking the ferry from Reggio Calabria to Messina in Sicily, we drove to Taormina, where we stayed for the next four days. Taormina was a favourite destination of writers such as D.H. Lawrence (he wrote Lady Chatterley's Lover there) as well as the composer Richard Wagner.
Our hotel, Villa Schuler, had a terrace where we had a breakfast each morning of local Sicilian fare. From the terrace we had an unimpeded view of Mount Etna.
A short walk up the road took us to the botanical garden, an absolute treasure with masses of bougainvillea hedges, succulents, cacti and geraniums overflowing their pots, all with a view of the sea.
We wandered through the streets past shop windows full of marzipan fruits and pistachios and ceramics.
From Taormina, we headed to Catania. Be forewarned: driving through this city can be a challenge. We made it with Banana Panda intact.

Marco Rubio's baptism: Liberals don't know what to doEDITORIAL
February 16. 2013 2:54AM
In case you missed it, which may mean you don't watch or read much mainstream media, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio took a sip of water one night last week. From the reaction in certain quarters, he might just as well have belched, broken wind, or beaten his wife.
Liberals pounced, saying that this was the young Florida senator's "Watergate'' and it had pretty much washed him out of consideration for President, as serious spokesman for the GOP, or dog catcher. Seriously?
National Sandinista Radio (also known as NPR), was a bit more subtle, but not much. Eschewing the waterboarding technique, its alleged "news'' item told supposedly shocked listeners that Rubio "sounded like Mitt Romney.''
No doubt Rubio's defense of private enterprise and the like made him sound like Romney to the NPR reporter, but wouldn't it have been nice if Rubio were simply quoted so a listener could decide for himself how he "sounded?''
In fact, Rubio's official Republican response to President Obama's State of the Union address was an informative, impassioned defense of conservative political philosophy about life and free enterprise, mixed with a rich, admirable personal story.
He not only warned of big government, he explained what private enterprise can do to help the human condition.
Rubio was, in point of fact, perfectly reasonable and likeable.
These are qualities that liberals fear most from conservatives. What to do? Why, reach for Rubio reaching for a water bottle (Poland Springs, by the way). Talk about grasping at straws.

From the street, this shy little house has no visible front door since it is hidden on one side of a newer structural entry addition.
Although a door is a relatively small surface of a facade, it also is a strong element from which the design of a landscaping plan starts and where the end result is achieved with a pop of colour like a cherry on a sundae.
The spacing between the windows did not allow the installation of shutters that could have instilled a subtle and flattering accompaniment to a new proposed wall colour.
The invitation towards the hidden front door could be obtained with the concentration of textures and coloursaturated vegetation near the entry and also from the tailored-look of the silver hedge of ground cover beside the pathway.
The aluminum siding will be renewed in a warm greenish beige with an exterior acrylic paint in a matte finish.
If replacement of the windows is out of the question right now, heftier seven centimetre plain wood mouldings around the existing windows and stained opaque white would provide a bolder contrast with the siding.
To unify the windows, matching white lattice should also be added inside the two centre windows. Under these and in a rich eye-catching oxblood tint, deep wooden flower boxes will adopt the same colour in a semi-gloss finish as their sidekick door.
A single climbing Lonicera with its trumpet-like red flowers could decorate two red-stained trellises installed on each side of the left corner of the home and would attract hummingbirds all summer. A 10-centimetre distance between the walls and the structures is necessary to insure good air circulation and a happy, cooler plant.
In front of the extension of the entry, the rounded flower bed is created by using as a compass a long string attached on a stick in the ground on the right corner and pulled tight to the left corner of the addition.
Then as you go towards the walkway, Popsicle sticks are planted every 25 centimetres to indicate the shape of a quarter circle. Then remove the lawn inside and mix in a few bags of good garden soil and compost.
A border of some sort is needed to prevent the unfortunate marriage of the more aggressive grass growth and the newly planted vegetation. For curved shapes, as well as straight lines, an inexpensive professional five-inch high black plastic divider is a good alternative if installed correctly with extra metal pegs. A four-inch deep black mulch carpet around the plants and the overlapping spreading perennials will hide the top of the plastic border.
The landscaping could be done in stages. First, the climbing Lonicera on the trellises, the annuals in the flower boxes, the three potentillas under the two left windows and the two or three persistent shrubs under the boxes. Then the line of lamium near the walk and the perennials in the flower bed.
The sidewalk will have to be levelled and the step under the door needs to be enlarged to the width and length of the entry space.
Even without a visible door, the little house will look very handsome. Beautiful things often come in small packages.
Vegetation (from left to right):
- Prunus X Cistena (1+1 shrubs, red leaves)
- Lonicera Dropmore Scarlet (climbing on trellis)
- Juniperus Chinensis Gold Lace (conifer)
- Potentilla Fructicosa Abbotswood (three shrubs, white flowers)
- Catharanthus Roseus Syn. Vinca Rosa white annuals, boxes)
- Cotoneaster Dammeri Coral Beauty (two to three persistent shrubs)
- Campanula Carpatica (two to five perennials, white flowers)
- Asclepias Tuberosa (one to three perennials, orange flowers)
- Euonymus Fortunei Emerald'n Gold (persistent shrub)
- Bellis Perennis (three to five perennials, red flowers)
- Salix Caprea Pendula (ornamental tree)
- Lamium (silver ground cover perennials, hedge walkway)

Comments from Educators and Students
I used one of your Solve-its with my sophomore English class recently. The students enjoyed the activity. They are asking for more!
Sandra O.
My main objective is to begin my students on a path to a lifelong love of reading. I think the Twist is a valuable tool for that!
Stephanie M.
I am a twelve year old female in grade seven, and I am addicted to mysteries. I showed a mystery from the The Case Solve-it section to my Language Arts teacher. My class and I had a fun time figuring out the solution. I now bring in mysteries weekly, and our class really enjoys them. Thanks, TheCase.com, for something interesting and unique.
Stephanie S.
I am a reading specialist at a suburban high school in Louisiana. These MysteryNet.com murder mysteries have gotten reluctant adolescents enthusiastic about reading. Believe me, getting teenagers to read and re-read anything – while using higher level thinking skills– is almost impossible. Thanks!

You can't be a Michigander if you've never heard this: "If you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes and it'll change."
That's precisely what has occurred over the past week here in our fine state. The weather has changed so dramatically from one moment to the next, we've literally experienced all four seasons: snow, below-zero wind chills, rain, sleet, wind, heavy rain, lightning, thunderstorms and 60 degree temps!
It's crazy, really. But, it's certainly made for some interesting conversations. Laying in bed the other night I seriously thought the roof was going to blow off the house. And the rain - some of the most intense I've heard in a long time. I almost had to remind myself it was late January and not late July.
All I can say is thank goodness this rain was not snow - can you imagine how much of it there would have been had it been snow? I don't even want to think about it. I don't have to shovel rain.
Right now as I'm typing this, WWMT's Keith Thompson is either passing a kidney stone or he's updating the current weather. This dude needs to calm down. I want to call him up and say," NEWS FLASH - Scientists have just discovered the phenomenon hitting across the country. It's called JANUARY!"
Yes, this is winter - the good, the bad, and obviously the ugly of it. Will it stay? NO!
I also find it rather humorous that the news feels it necessary to do stories on people need to do when out and about driving in stuff. Really? What part of "stay the heck home" do they not get? And, if you have to drive then by all means dress for the weather. You never know if you went into the ditch or were stranded how long it may take for help to find you. why does someone on TV have to tell you this?
Oh, and just because you have 4-wheel drive doesn't make you invincible. I have a 4x4 Jeep Wrangler and it slides just as much as a little subcompact car when it hits ice. I chuckle sometimes when some idiot flies past me on the highway with their big truck only to find them in the ditch a little ways further.
So for the most part it's almost February which means we're that much closer to spring. I know, you haven't thought of it like that yet. You're welcome!
And, in if this weather is still driving you nuts - give it 5 minutes, it'll change.
Wait five minutes, the weather will change
You can't be a Michigander if you've never heard this: "If you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes and it'll change."

Still no deal for Ioka as purchase deadline passesBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
April 03. 2013 7:57AM
EXETER – A deadline for the Exeter Theater Company to exercise its option to purchase the historic Ioka theater has come and gone.
The nonprofit group that's been making plans to save the 98-year-old theater in downtown Exeter decided not to put down a $60,000 non-refundable deposit by the March 31 deadline imposed by its current owner, Kensington Exeter LLC.
Kensington resident Alan Lewis bought the financially-strapped theater at auction in December 2011 and has been working with the theater group on a plan to resurrect the shuttered theater.
When efforts to establish a long-term lease failed, Lewis gave the theater group the option to purchase the Ioka for the $600,000 that Kensington Exeter LLC paid when it bought the building.
The theater group's ultimate goal is to raise an estimated $4.6 million to not only purchase the theater but also complete a major renovation to reopen the landmark.
Tony Callendrello, chairman of the theater company's board of directors, issued a statement Tuesday announcing it had decided to let the deadline pass but isn't giving up on its effort to give the theater a new life.
"After long and thoughtful consideration, and consultation with business and philanthropic leaders in the Seacoast community, we have decided to let the end date pass without exercising the option," he said in the statement. "I want to be clear - our resolve to purchase, renovate, and reopen the Ioka Theater remains unchanged. We fully intend to see this mission through. We have all worked too long and hard – hundreds of community members, dozens of volunteers, and the Exeter Theater Company board – to stop now."
Exercising the option would have required the group to put down a $60,000 non-refundable deposit that would have been paid for entirely through donations.
"We feel a responsibility to each and every one of our donors and did not feel we could take the risk of losing that deposit, as has happened in previous attempts to purchase the Ioka," Callendrello said.
He added that despite the "enthusiastic response from hundreds of donors at all levels across the region, many major backers are waiting in the wings to provide support, but not until we acquire the building. Their reason for hesitation is that, by all estimates, the building is worth far less than the $600,000 asking price. Unfortunately, the theater continues to lose value due to damage caused by a leaking roof in winter weather."
Callendrello said he feels confident that once the theater company gains control of the theater, larger donors will come forward to help raise the money needed for renovations.
"But until that time, we can't risk breaching the promise we made to all of our donors – that we would use their money in a wise and responsible manner. To that end, we remain committed to our original pledge to return donations to anyone who makes that request," he said, adding that he hopes donors will "stay with us as we continue our steady progress towards our common goal of saving the Ioka."
The theater group gathered dozens of testimonials from people who want to save the Ioka at a rally held last Saturday. Those testimonials have been passed on to Lewis "as a starting point for a new dialogue about transferring his ownership of the building to us," Callendrello said.

Northern Pass touts jobs creation fund
August 16. 2013 9:12PM
LANCASTER — The Northern Pass project has created a jobs creation fund that it said in a release Friday would increase jobs in the state's North Country.
"The fund will be specifically aimed at increasing employment in the state's North Country by supporting the expansion of existing businesses and attracting new businesses," the Northern Pass release said. "The jobs created will be separate and distinct from the 1,200 jobs statewide that are expected during the construction phase of the Northern Pass project."
A meeting to announce the fund is scheduled for 1 p.m. Monday at A.B. Logging Inc. at 653 N. Main St. in Lancaster. Presenters include Gary Long, president of New Hampshire Energy Policy Development at Northeast Utilities, Allen Bouthillier of A.B. Logging and former state Sen. John Gallus of Berlin.
Northern Pass, a collaboration between Public Service of New Hampshire's parent company, Northeast Utilities, NStar and Hydro-Quebec, has proposed building an 180-mile-long transmission line from the Canadian border at Pittsburg to Deerfield.
The project would mostly use existing rights-of-way, but also needs to identify several miles of new corridors for the lines. The proposal, which includes the construction of transmission towers as high as 90 feet, has had opposition almost since it was announced, with opponents saying the transmission lines would hurt scenic views and lower property values.

Giffords, husband push for expanded gun background checks
July 05. 2013 4:45PM
MANCHESTER — Shooting victim Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, urged Congress Friday to pass a law requiring expanded background checks for gun sales.
Kelly, a retired astronaut, said he and his wife had hoped to meet in New Hampshire with U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H, who opposed a background-checks bill this spring, "but this is a complicated time of year for everybody, the Fourth of July."
Kelly said he talked with Ayotte, a key vote in defeating the measure, about a week ago. "It's a private conversation, but it was a good conversation about where we were going and what we were doing," he said at a news conference with law enforcement officials at the Millyard Museum in the Queen City.
Giffords, a former Arizona congresswoman shot in the head in Tucson in a 2011, said people "must never stop fighting" to get guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill.
A handful of people, some with their firearms, protested outside and urged Giffords to go home.
Sen. Ayotte's spokesman Jeff Grappone did not have an immediate comment on Friday afternoon.

On Sunday Mexico beat Springfield Glendale in the Norm Stewart Classic at Columbia. The final score was 59-41. Mexico had three players in double-figures. Jake Willer posted 27 points, Jaramillo, Jaeon Nunnelly each scored 10 points for the Bulldogs.

The Lady Bulldogs hit three 3-point baskets in the third with Alison Mudd starting off with a 3-pointer and Costley hitting a 3-pointer on the next possession.
"Kelli Ingrum played a solid game on both ends of the floor scoring 10 points with 5 rebounds," said her coach. "Overall I was pleased how we bounced back and the progression in our girls is showing from quarter to quarter," added Costley.

Pardee, county EMS join cardiac program
Pardee Hospital and Henderson County Emergency Medical Service System have joined forces to participate in the statewide RACE CARS project and the national CARES registry, aimed at increasing the chances for survival in sudden cardiac arrest and assessing performance for further improvement.
Sudden cardiac arrest is the third-leading cause of death among Americans. The average national survival rate is 8 percent, but that rate varies widely by geographic region. In North Carolina, only 1 in 5 victims receive bystander CPR, and only 1 in 20 survive to hospital discharge.
RACE CARS (Regional Approach to Cardiovascular Emergencies Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation System) coordinates local medical resources to provide the rapid diagnosis and high-quality emergency treatment necessary to improve sudden cardiac arrest rates. Part of this strategy includes reducing disparities in sudden cardiac arrest treatment.
To track the effectiveness of their efforts, Pardee Hospital, Henderson County EMS and other regional hospitals enter data about each cardiac event into the national Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES). The registry helps to determine where ongoing improvements can be made. In addition, the partners plan to collaborate on another important phase in the program: community education about CPR and automatic defibrillator use.
"Our goal is to help Henderson County meet or exceed the national survival rate for sudden cardiac arrest by the spring of 2014," says Dr. Robert Kiskaddon, Pardee Hospital's chief medical officer and vice president of medical affairs. "Pardee and Henderson County EMS are working to streamline standards and techniques that are proven to be dramatically effective in improving sudden cardiac arrest outcomes. We are pleased to partner with the Henderson County EMS team to help our community reach this crucial goal.
Not only will this increase the survival rate but it may increase quality of life after a cardiac arrest event."
RACE CARS standards indicate that a patient with no pulse should be given high-quality CPR — lasting for at least 20 minutes — at the scene of the event, ensuring that moving and transporting the patient creates no more than a 10-second pause in resuscitation efforts. Since adopting this new approach, the Henderson County EMS System has seen a marked improvement in cardiac arrest survival. The destination hospital's emergency department meanwhile prepares to provide the rapid, structured interventions that have been shown to improve the short- and long-term prognosis of the sudden cardiac arrest patient.

Dementia conference set for April 13
A conference, The Sacred Journey of Dementia, is set for April 13 at the First Baptist Church, 5 Oak St., Asheville.
Most conferences on dementia focus on data, symptoms and legal planning. The Sacred Journey of Dementia is designed to give a voice to all who are impacted by a diagnosis: those who receive the diagnosis, spouses, children, friends, neighbors and the professionals who interact with them (clergy, doctors, CNAs, social workers).
Focus will be given to the individual stories and how we as a community can be more understanding and responsive to the challenges.
The conference will feature Dr. Lisa Verges of MemoryCare as the keynote speaker. The conference also will include Asheville's Playback Theater, art, video and breakout sessions. Participants in the Early Memory Loss Collaborative, folks people who have received a diagnosis, will share their insights during a panel.
Child care will be provided for children younger than 13 as well as adult care. Pre-registration for adult and child care is required by April 3.
The $30 registration fee includes a light breakfast, lunch and snacks. Registration at the door is $40.

Manchester hit-and-run suspect to face charges
June 25. 2013 11:00PM
MANCHESTER — A man accused of a hit-and-run accident, in which the other driver was injured, could enter no plea Tuesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to felony charges of conduct after an accident and falsifying physical evidence.
David Kurland, 52, of 31 English Village Road, is accused of cutting in front of another driver at Front Street and Dunbarton Road at about 6:45 p.m. April 12, causing an accident and then fleeing.
Court documents report the other driver, a 49-year-old woman, sustained several injuries in the crash. The damage estimate for her vehicle was about $10,000.
The documents show that with the help of witnesses, investigators were able to locate Kurland's damaged vehicle in the parking lot of his residence before it was towed away for repairs. Investigators reported finding a smear of blue paint, matching the other vehicle, on Kurland's white car and pieces of white styrofoam from a front bumper cover, which matched styrofoam found at the accident scene.
A witness reported seeing Kurland pull into the parking area at high speed the night of the accident, with fresh damage to his vehicle, and then stumble toward the building entrance.
Kurland is also accused of trying to conceal evidence by arranging for the swift repair of his vehicle. The court documents show investigators learned the vehicle was towed to a repair shop a couple of days after the crash. The service manager said Kurland told him he had dropped a cigarette, which caused him to hit a tree. His damage estimate was just under $1,200. A probable cause hearing on the felonies was set for July 24. Kurland is free on $5,000 personal recognizance bail.
Both parties arrested
Julia Rogowicz, 30, of 72 Rimmon St., pleaded innocent Tuesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to two misdemeanor charges of simple assault that allege she pushed her ex-boyfriend, David Covel, against a wall Saturday and grabbed him with one hand and punched him in the head with the other hand.
Rogowicz, who has a child with Covel, is barred by conditions of her $500 personal recognizance bail from any contact with Covel and is barred from his Dix Street residence.
Covel, 38, of 536 Dix St., was arraigned Monday in Circuit Court in connection with Saturday's incident. He pleaded innocent to a criminal mischief charge that alleges he punched a hole in the drywall at Rogowicz' Rimmon Street residence.
He is also free on $500 personal recognizance bail, with conditions that include no contact with Rogowicz and not going to the Rimmon Street address.
Trials for both are set for Sept. 4.
Online pawn record system was key
A police prosecutor Tuesday said the online pawn shop record-keeping system now being used in Manchester assisted in the investigation leading to the arrest of a Weare man on charges of theft by deception and receiving stolen property.
John Black, 27, of 198 Bougue Road, pleaded innocent in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to pawning electronics at a Kelley Street pawn shop and a diamond ring at a Gabrielle Street shop. The items, which had been reported stolen, were tracked through the LeadsOnline system, which requires secondhand and pawn shops to upload digital photos and information on pawned items and their pawners.Police prosecutor Richard Brown said Black also has pending cases, including fraudulent use of a credit card, in other jurisdictions.
Black asked Judge William Lyons to change the $1,000 cash/surety bail to personal recognizance, saying: "I got accepted to rehab." Lyons did not change the bail, but lawyers can petition for a bail change when a defendant to be released directly into a residential treatment program.
Charges stem from car sale argument
Bail conditions on charges of criminal threatening, assault and mischief bar Jared Fellows, 27, from returning to his 174 Laurel St. residence.
Fellows was arraigned Tuesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division, accused of pushing one family member into a glass cabinet, which broke and caused cuts; threatening to kill another family member, making a slicing motion across his throat; and threatening to kill a female relative and her baby.
Fellows is also accused of threatening to smash the woman's car windows, taking a 20-day paper plate off a vehicle and ripping it in half, and punching the hood of a vehicle, damaging it.
Fellows objected to being barred from the Laurel Street address, saying his mother is ill and he helps her. Judge William Lyons declined to change that condition of Fellows' bail, which also bars him from contact with the three alleged victims and their residences.
In successfully seeking $5,000 cash/surety bail, a police prosecutor said Fellows' record includes assault by a prisoner, felon in possession of a dangerous weapon and burglary. Trial was set for July 31.

Detractors say education tax credit damages public educationBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
April 11. 2013 11:12PM
CONCORD - State taxpayers do not support using their money to pay for religious and parochial schools, said supporters of a bill repealing the state's new education tax credit program.
Speaking at a press conference, a state lawmaker, the head of the state's largest teachers' union and a public education activist said they would do all they can to convince a majority of senators to pass House Bill 370, which repeals the tax credit program.
They said the education business tax credit program will rob public education of millions of dollars over the next decade at a time when essentially state services such as education need all the money possible.
They called it a voucher program administered by an out-of-state group that wants to end public education.
Program supporters say it will have little impact on state aid for public education and gives low-income parents an opportunity to find the right fit for their students.
Charlie Arlinghaus of the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy, which supported the program before lawmakers last year, said it is not a voucher program, but rather a tax credit that has been found constitutional in every state where it has been challenged.
"On a basic level, it's a scholarship program funded by donations for poor kids," Arlinghaus said, "who can in fact use it at non-public schools."
The law is being challenged in Strafford County Superior Court. In the case Duncan, et al v. the State of New Hampshire, the plaintiffs claim the program is unconstitutional because it gives state money to religious schools. Arguments will be heard in the case April 26.
Bill Duncan of New Castle and the founder of Defending New Hampshire Public Education, said the program needs to be put out of its misery, noting only $140,000 has been raised to date and $100,000 of that came from a company in Barrington.
He said the group administering the program, the Network for Educational Opportunity, wants to privatize public education.
"I see nothing but bad headlines and trouble down the road," said Duncan, who ran for executive council last year.
The executive director of the Network for Educational Opportunity, Kate Baker, said to date she has about 650 applications for scholarships for the next school year.
The applications are geographically dispersed with the average family income about $45,000, she said. "That is where the interest is coming from, from low-income families," Baker said. "People do want to help kids that need help."
She said she wanted to start a scholarship program and needed a non-profit and approached Allan Schaeffer, the president of the network, whom she knew from his work with the legislature.
Baker said she approached his group with a business plan that was accepted. "I'm a free and reduced lunch kid from Manchester West High School who wants to help kids find the right fix," Baker said.
She said it is frustrating the way people are painting her program. "Most people in New Hampshire like their public schools," Baker said. "Those who come to me are looking for a different fit for their children because public school isn't working and everybody acknowledges those kids exist."
Last week, the Senate Health, Education and Human Services Committee voted 3-2 down party lines to kill HB 370, which is expected to come before the full Senate April 18.
The new scholarship pr
ogram allows businesses to donate and receive a business tax credit.
At Thursday's press conference, Rep. Lorrie Carey, D-Boscawen, said the program is fiscally irresponsible, and without oversight or accountability.
"This program downshifts money on local taxpayers," she said. "If kids leave, the school loses (state) money and local taxpayers have to pick it up.'" Scott McGilvray, National Education Association New Hampshire president, said the education tax credit program will divert public taxpayer money without provisions to hold the private, religious and home schools accountable.
"The current voucher scheme will take $90 million out of public schools over the next 10 years and give it to private and religious schools," he said.
Under the program, students can receive up to a $2,500 scholarship to attend private or parochial schools. Homeschooled students can receive up to a $750 scholarship.
School districts losing students because of the program also lose an average $4,100 per student in state education aid.
The program is capped at $4 million the first year and can grow each year thereafter, although less than $135,000 has been donated to the program to date.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A glimpse at fun facts about Thursday's Emmy nominations:
PROUD TO BE NOMINATED: "Orange Is the New Black" co-star Laverne Cox is breaking down another barrier: She's the first openly transgender actress to be nominated for an Emmy. Other lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Emmy contenders this year include Matt Bomer, Jim Parsons, Kate McKinnon, Sarah Paulson, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Nathan Lane.
PROUD TO BE NOMINATED AND A NEW PAPA: Congratulations are pouring in for Jimmy Kimmel, and not just because "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" earned another Emmy nomination. The talk-show host announced on Twitter that he welcomed a daughter Thursday morning with wife Molly McNearny. A spokesman for Kimmel confirmed that Jane Kimmel was born Thursday in Los Angeles. The 46-year-old comedian also saw his late-night show earn three Emmy nominations Thursday morning, including a nod for outstanding variety series. McNearny is a head writer on the show.
FROM THE BIG TO SMALL SCREEN: Several movie stars are earning their first-ever Emmy nominations this year, including previous Academy Award winners and nominees like Matthew McConaughey for HBO's "True Detective," Billy Bob Thornton for FX's "Fargo," Chiwetel Ejiofor for Starz's "Dancing on the Edge" and Mark Ruffalo for HBO's "The Normal Heart."
MAINTAING HIS LEAD: Hector Ramirez doesn't have a marquee name, but he can't be stopped at the Emmys. The camera operator received his 72nd nomination for an episode of "Dancing with the Stars," maintaining his record as the most nominated individual in Emmy history. He's followed by Sheila Nevins, the president of HBO Documentary Films. She now has 67 nominations.
SUSAN LUCCI SYNDRONE: Will the streak be over for Jon Hamm? The perennial Emmys loser is nominated for his 10th statue after previously receiving nominations for his roles on "Mad Men" and "30 Rock." Other nominated performers who've never won Emmy gold despite receiving multiple nods in the past include Amy Poehler, Don Cheadle, Steve Buscemi and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
SOME GIFT: For the first time in five years, Sofía Vergara was not nominated for an Emmy Award. The 42-year-old, Colombia-born star, who plays the much younger wife of patriarch Jay Pritchett on "Modern Family," was snubbed by the TV academy on Thursday after previously being nominated four times in a row as best supporting actress in a comedy series. Thursday was also Vergara's birthday.

Every home in the United Kingdom will be blocked from accessing pornography through Internet connections, under new measures announced by British Prime Minister David Cameron. When these go into effect later this year, Internet users who want to access porn will have to opt in with their Internet providers.
By the end of next year, it will be against British law to have "violent" or "extreme" porn, which involves simulated rape. Searching for certain images will also be banned; an organization called the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre will come up with a set of search terms in relation to child abuse/child porn that will then be blocked.
Cameron said he's taking these measures to limit the country's pornography consumption and protect the public.
"I'm not making this speech because I want to moralize or scaremonger, but because I feel profoundly as a politician, and as a father, that the time for action has come. This is, quite simply, about how we protect our children and their innocence," Cameron said.
Critics are calling the move censorship, and Cameron told the BBC that he expects a "row" with Internet service providers. In a new analysis, BBC technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones wrote, "Civil liberties campaigners fear that blocking certain searches in one country could set a precedent elsewhere, making other governments more confident in applying censorship."
There's also the question of this regulation's effectiveness. Will banning porn result in less child abuse and better treatment of women? The Atlantic Wire looked into it:
"If you look at countries that ban porn (and ones that don't), you'll notice that at best, there's no clear relationship between banning porn and that country's treatment of women and children. At worst, a ban on porn is perhaps harmful. For example, take a look at India, where the distribution of porn is illegal. That country has recently become notorious for an epidemic of brutal rapes, some of them against children. Meanwhile, in the United States the incidence of rape declined 85 percent over a period of 25 years while access to pornography has increased, The New York Times reported. The U.K. is probably closer to the U.S. in that stark in comparison, and is regularly rated as one [of] the top countries in the world for women. That's not to say that porn is good for gender relations, only that any relationship between banning porn and positive outcomes is unclear."
From NPR News, it's ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Melissa Block.
I'm Robert Siegel. And it's time now for All Tech Considered
SIEGEL: In Great Britain today, not all the news is about royal labor. Prime Minister David Cameron announced a crackdown on Internet pornography, saying that pornography online was corroding the innocence of too many British children and rejecting the notion that the Net is simply too big and unruly to regulate, Cameron set out series of proposals to make the Net safer.
NPR's technology correspondent Steve Henn joins us now. And, Steve, David Cameron isn't the first politician to set out on a crusade to protect children from online pornography. What's driving his interest in the issue?
STEVE HENN, BYLINE: Well, Cameron says he's motivated by his own concerns as a father. But it's also worth noting that the Daily Mail and several other British media outlets have been on a crusade against what they call online filth for months.
Here's Cameron addressing the issue on Sky News last June.
PRIME MINISTER DAVID CAMERON: As a parent I worry massively about what our children can get to see when they grab hold of our iPad or log on to the Internet. And there, we need to make more progress on this issue of explaining to everybody that we want to have better filters that parents can switch on to stop access to certain sites and material.
SIEGEL: So what steps did Cameron actually take in that direction today?
HENN: Well, he's proposing a further crackdown on illegal types of Internet pornography. But Cameron is also suggesting taking steps to make a little bit more difficult for people to access legal material online. He's asked all Internet service providers in the U.K. to install Internet filters on new accounts that would be designed to block all pornography. And those filters would, by default, be on. In effect, anyone who wanted to look at legal pornography online in Britain would have to opt-in.
SIEGEL: So, we're not just talking about child pornography here. We're talking about all kinds of adult pornography - images of adults.
HENN: Exactly.
SIEGEL: And what has reaction been to all this from online companies?
HENN: Well, they've pushed back against this idea. This industry has argued that Internet filters aren't perfect; they'll screen out lots of material that shouldn't be considered porn. And they argue that technically sophisticated kids will find their way around these firewalls. There are also civil libertarians who argue that, really, this is about more than kids. They see a government trying to regulate morality among adults by making it a bit harder and perhaps a bit more embarrassing for adults to see adult content online.
SIEGEL: OK. Thank you, Steve.
HENN: My pleasure.
SIEGEL: That's NPR's technology correspondent Steve Henn. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Is this the reason Freddie Prinze Jr. disappeared from the screen?
The former teenage heartthrob told ABC News that working with Kiefer Sutherland on TV thriller 24 almost led him to quit acting altogether.
"I did 24, it was terrible," he said while at Comic-Con promoting his new Disney XD series Star Wars Rebels. "I just wanted to quit the business after that. So, I just sort of stopped."
"Kiefer was the most unprofessional dude in the world," Prinze Jr., 38, continued. "That's not me talking trash, I'd say it to his face. I think everyone that's worked with him has said that."
The fighting words continued when Prinze Jr. took aim at Sutherland's diminutive stature. "I went and worked for Vince McMahon at the WWE, for Christ's sake... but at least he was cool and tall. I didn't have to take my shoes off to do scenes with him, which they made me do [at 24.] Just put the guy on an apple box or don't hire me next time. You know I'm 6 feet and he's 5'4."
These days, Prinze Jr. prefers to keep a low-profile, and lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and two children, Charlotte and Rocky. Last year, he guest starred on an episode of Witches of East End, but he remains focused on his work as a producer and director for WWE, World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.
Thanks a lot, Kiefer. Would you like to see more of Freddie on TV?

Tenant set to take on ex-Lowe's buildingBy PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 04. 2013 11:42PM
MANCHESTER — An announcement on a new tenant for the long-vacant former site of Lowe's Home Improvement could come as soon as the end of next week, but the identity of the new occupant remains a mystery.
Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas said Friday that while he isn't ready to reveal who the new tenant at 707 Huse Road, located just off South Willow Street and near the Olive Garden restaurant, expects to do so in "in a few days."
"I don't want to jump the gun," said Gatsas. "But the news is we have someone, the paperwork isn't completed but it's getting there. That's why I don't want to make an announcement today. Ask me again in a week, and hopefully it's a different story."
Gatsas would not comment on whether the new tenant was a retail operation, but he did reveal that it is a company relocating from a current site in the city. The company hopes to be open in the new location by early November.
"They have 85 employees, and I'm told after the move they are looking to expand to 120," said Gatsas.
Gatsas also said the new tenant would occupy the entire former Lowe's site and has no plans to subdivide the property.
The single-story Lowe's store was built three years ago. The Lowe's lot is 11.75 acres, with a gross building area of 263,722 square feet, or 40 percent more space than is needed for a 188,000-square-foot Supercenter that Walmart wants to build at nearby 725 Gold St. Opponents of the Gold Street plans have pointed to the Lowe's site as a far more suitable location for the retail giant.
A request for comment on any potential interest in the site made to Walmart media relations was not returned Friday.
The closing of three New Hampshire Lowe's stores was announced in late 2011 as part of a corporate restructuring that saw 20 stores close nationwide, and layoffs affecting about 1,950 employees. New Hampshire was the hardest hit: No other state experienced more than two store closures. The Manchester and Hooksett stores opened in October 2008. The Claremont store opened in May 2010.
The Hooksett site, located on Route 3A, will soon feature a 149,000-square-foot Bass Pro Shops outlet store, which could create as many as 300 new jobs. Officials in Claremont confirmed Friday that the vacant Lowe's store on Washington Street remains empty.
Because Lowe's was leasing the Huse Road site, there was less pressure to fill the empty store, but Gatsas was pleased a tenant will soon occupy the address.
"You would always rather see a space like that filled," said Gatsas. "It's a good location, and the businesses already in that area will only benefit from a company with 85 employees, and looking to grow, going in there. It's good to be able to say we are finally going to fill that space."
When asked about the vacant property that will be left behind when the company in question relocates, Gatsas didn't sound worried about finding a tenant to fill that spot.
"Once we announce the company at the Lowe's site, it will all make sense," said Gatsas. "All the pieces of the puzzle will start to fall into place."

DENVER If theres any such thing as a typical Colorado Democrat, its a woman age 41 to 60. For Republicans, its a man the same age.
New figures from the Secretary of States office offer a peek into the gender gap that separates the two main parties in Colorado. Among the striking revelations: Nearly 3 out of 5 Colorado Democrats are women.
In the Republican Party, men slightly outnumber women, 51 percent to 49 percent. Unaffiliated men outnumber their female counterparts by 4 percentage points.
And minor party members Libertarians, Greens, American Constitutionalists are heavily male.
Meanwhile, the youngest voters have had enough with all parties.
The gender gap is nothing new. For a few decades, Democrats have been known as the mommy party and Republicans as the daddy party.
But Pat Waak, who was chairwoman of the Colorado Democratic Party during the latter half of the last decade, said she thinks the new numbers are striking.
Thats a little bit surprising to me. Ive seen the gender gap between Republicans and Democrats before, but I dont recall seeing it that high, said Waak, who retired from her party post after the 2010 election.
Sen. Ellen Roberts of Durango is one of 3 out of 15 Republican woman state senators.
I think Republicans have to better explain what were for, Roberts said. When we do a better job of explaining what it means to be a Republican, well see more women choosing to become Republican.
The economy and smart budgeting are very much womens issues, Roberts said.
But social issues also drive women into the Democratic Party, said state Sen. Morgan Carroll of Aurora, chairwoman of the Senate Democratic caucus.
The Republican Party has hardened its stances on health care, abortion rights and pay equity, she said.
I think over the last year or two, the public discourse has changed so radically on things like birth control, Carroll said. If this kind of conversation keeps up, its a trend thats going to continue.
In 2010, U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., made an overt play for support by women and fended off a challenge by Republican Ken Buck. Waak said that election was around the time that Democrats truly realized the importance of women, young people and seniors.
If a candidate does not realize that those constituencies are real power bases, theyre not going to win, Waak said.
The Democratic advantage among women persists for most age groups until ages 71 and older, but the difference is especially stark for the newest voters.
Men aged 18-25 were just as likely to register Democrat as Republican, with both parties getting nearly 50,000 voters from that group.
But young female Democrats outnumber their Republican counterparts by 17,000. Just in the last month, Democrats have registered 6,000 young women, double the numbers of either young male Democrats, young male Republicans and young female Republicans.
The gender gap stays almost as big for women ages 26 to 40, and it narrows only somewhat in ages 41 to 60. Its not until ages 71 and older that female Republicans outnumber Democrats.
Until August, the secretary of states office did not release partisan registration numbers by age or gender.
One other fact jumps out in the new numbers. Nearly half of voters age 18 to 25 did not register with any party.
For voters of all ages, Republicans and Democrats each claim 32 percent of the electorate, with unaffiliated voters at 35 percent.
But for ages 18 to 25, Democrats and Republicans take just 28 percent and 23 percent, respectively, while 48 percent of young voters registered unaffiliated.
The doesnt surprise state House Majority Leader Amy Stephens, R-Monument.
Stephens spoke with many young voters during her hard-fought primary campaign this summer.
That does not shock me at all, and I think that is the number we must watch, Stephens said. They are disillusioned with both parties, which is perhaps why you saw a lot of Ron Paul voters.

Your home and office, in fact all buildings, have inherent energy blueprints that were created when your building was first built. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a perfect Feng Shui building, because every building has a mixture of supportive and sabotaging unseen energies.The Chinese have a saying...
In Classical Feng Shui…Health & Relationships come first, because money can't buy good health and harmonious relationships. In other words, once you have avoided any negative influences on your relationships and health, then you find ways to improve your Finances. My goal is to advise you how to make the most of the energies possible in your current surroundings and empower you to make better choices of homes or offices in the future.Durango Women B01DL0AX2U s DRD0208 Durango Western Khaki Boot Brown Khaki 667c64c What does Feng Shui have to do with your religious beliefs?
Some people think that Feng Shui has to do with religious beliefs... or that you must believe in Feng Shui remedies...or set your intention when installing the remedies. There's no doubt that your beliefs and intentions are powerful influences in your life. However, they have nothing to do with managing the existing Feng Shui influences in your daily life.
Classical Feng Shui is a science with the same roots as Acupuncture. Needles are used in Acupuncture to treat the energy patterns of the body to improve your health. Classical Feng Shui uses decorative objects made of the five elements (earth, metal, water, wood, and fire colors) to remedy any sabotaging influences caused by the invisible energies in your home/office. Both of these Chinese sciences have a 5,000-year history of improving lives by working with the unseen energies that have been present since the dawn of time..According to its energy blueprint your building will fall into one of five Feng Shui 'House Types'…
Buildings that are 'Bad for People' or have a 'People Lock' have constant problems with Health and/or Relationships. If you're experiencing continuous Career or Financial troubles, you're living in a 'Bad for Money' building and/or being influenced by a 'Money Lock.'
In most cases, there's a way to release the 'Lock' or cancel out the 'Bad for People and/or Money' aspect to at least make it neutral for you in that area of your life. In other words, once you have installed the appropriate elemental remedy, your building would no longer be holding you back from having...
According to Classical Feng Shui principles your home and office's entire interior is divided into a nine part grid, like a tic-tac-toe grid, and each section has two permanent energies. One influences your Health & Relationships while the other influences your Finances & Career. Each section has the potential to support or sabotage either or both aspects of your life. Therefore, as far as the energies of your home/office there isn't a Wealth Corner in Classical Feng Shui, because any of the nine areas could support or sabotage your Finances & Career.
However, from the day you were born you have a 15˚ magnetic direction that is your personal 'Prosperous' direction. If your house is oriented toward that direction or you are using a door or window in that exact

The art aspect of Classical Feng Shui relates to how you choose to implement the necessary elemental remedy as a beautiful accessory that blends with your decor. In other words, no one notices your Feng Shui remedies, except to pay you a complement on how wonderful your room looks. Remedies that don't blend with your décor create a SHA, which is Chinese for negative effect.
Feng Shui means Wind Water in Chinese and works with Air and Water currents that move Qi, which is the universal life force energy that is all around us. Therefore, all remedies must be out in the open, where the air currents in the room are able to come in contact with them. It's also important that the remedies be changeable from year to year due to the effects of the Annual energy shift.Do your building's Feng Shui energies ever change?
The inherent energies remain the same unless the house goes through MAJOR reconstruction. However, there is also an Annual energy shift in each of the nine sections. Many refer to this as the 'Visiting' energy, because every year a different Annual energy will take up residence in each of the nine sections of your home/office. The Annual energies influences on the permanent energies explain why one year will be better or worse in the same home/office.
Once every nine years the worst energy will visit your entrance and create major problems, such as: Accidents, Fires, Delays, Pain and Major Illness. If your door is painted Red or any other fire color, when that Annual energy visits your entrance... the color acts as a trigger and makes the problems worse. So, please don't paint your door a fire color, such as: Red, Purple, Burgundy, etc.When does your home/office need a Feng Shui update?
You've probably heard of...or celebrated the Chinese Lunar New Year. But did you know the Chinese have two calendars? One tracks the movement of the Moon and one the movement of the sun. Feng Shui and Four Pillar astrology are based on the Chinese SOLAR calendar. Each SOLAR year begins on the 4th or 5th of February, which is the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox.
The Annual Feng Shui energies make their shift on the Chinese SOLAR New Year. In ancient China most people didn't have immediate access to a Feng Shui Master for Annual updates. Today, you're fortunate, because you have the option (after your initial consultation) to have an
There are four levels to a comprehensive analysis of the Feng Shui influences in the environment around and within your home or office.
Many consultants only focus on the first and second levels, because they haven't learned how to calculate the Xuan Kong energy patterns and/or your 15˚ personal directions. Only a handful of the 5% of Feng Shui professionals world-wide who can calculate all of your Personal Directions...will take the time to explain them to you.What are your 'Personal Directions'?
All of your personal directions are gender and birthday related, which is why there aren't any one-size-fits-all personal directional influences in Classical Feng Shui. Most consultants work with just your personal Trigram's Durango Women B01DL0AX2U s DRD0208 Durango Western Khaki Boot Brown Khaki 667c64c 45˚ directions, because they have no idea that you have even more powerful personal 15˚ Mid-Calf directions that can over-ride the influences of your basic 45˚ personal Trigram directions.
In fact, only 5% of all Feng Shui experts world-wide have the knowledge necessary to determine ALL nine of your personal 15˚ directions, including your:
This depends on your Personal Trigram which is also gender and birth date specific. Of your four basic supportive 45˚ Trigram related directions, one is your best sleeping direction. A baby will naturally turn their head toward their best sleeping direction as soon as they're old enough to move. No matter your age, you can sleep like a baby by pointing the top of your head toward a wall (not a corner) in your best sleeping direction. Or at least have a good nights rest by sleeping with your head toward one of your three alternate sleeping directions.
Unfortunately, your 'Lonely Pillow' (which keeps you sleeping alone) can also be in one of your basic 45˚ directions. As a matter of fact, my 15˚ 'Lonely Pillow' is part of the 45˚ that is my best sleeping direction. So, I'm sleeping in my second best sleeping direction.Wouldn't you like to know how to avoid the influences of your 'Consuming' and 'Lonely Pillow' directions?

These animation hooks are set in place to trigger animations during the life cycle of various directives and when triggered, will attempt to perform a CSS Transition, CSS Keyframe Animation or a JavaScript callback Animation (depending on whether an animation is placed on the given directive).

A concurrent program needs to perform several possibly unrelated tasks at the same time.

In contrast, a parallel program solves a single problem. Consider a financial model that attempts to predict the next minute of fluctuations in the price of a single stock.

As this suggests, a parallel program does not usually depend on the presence of multiple cores to work correctly. Loading...
Another useful distinction between concurrent and parallel programs lies in their interaction with the outside world.

UPDATE: 'End the hostage-taking' Demoulas board members tell Arthur T.
By MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader
Three independent directors on the Demoulas board of directors told ousted CEO Arthur T. Demoulas on Saturday to "end the hostage-taking" that has left Market Basket stores with few customers and withering sales.
"Twenty five thousand associates and 2 million customers shouldn't be held hostage for a business deal between shareholders," their statement read. "We all need to get back to work, stock our shelves and allow our customers to return to shop."
Arthur T. Demoulas, who wants to regain control of the Market Basket supermarket chain, rejected a proposal by the three independent directors to come back — but not as CEO — to help the current management team return the supermarket chain to normal while he attempts to broker a deal to buy a controlling interest.
"This is an attempt to have him stabilize the company, while they consider selling it to another bidder," Justine Griffin, a spokeswoman for Arthur T. Demoulas, said Friday night. "This is far too serious a situation for these games and attempts at window dressing."
At the Hooksett store Saturday, part-time worker Alyssa Douglas of Epsom, who isn't scheduled to work next week because payroll has been ordered slashed, said: "From the beginning, we've said we wanted our CEO back and nothing less and that's what we're fighting for."
Saturday's statement from the directors said "each side has sets of proposals to solve the impasse — there are enough proposed solutions out there to begin a serious negotiation. Business negotiations should not prevent our associates from earning a living or our customers from buying groceries. It is wrong to hold everyone hostage to gain a negotiation advantage.
"Let's end the hostage-taking and get together to work at finding common ground," the statement said. "We are ready meet, anytime, anywhere," said the independent directors.
