Hi Carol,
Happy B.Day!
Also, what about searching for les macs with the Bear in Bordeaux or some other French city, or for that matter taking a side trip to Rome in search of les macs and all things French? I wonder if Italians eat les macs in Rome/Florence/or?
Only the Bear can discover the truth.
I bet Brussels has its version of macs.

Missing 9-year-old girl found safe in Manchester
MANCHESTER - Police found a missing 9-year-old girl about 9:40 a.m. today at an Amherst Street residence where she had apparently spent the night with a friend, police said.
The find ends a 12-hour odyssey involving the disappearance of Kyevannah Karam, who lives with her family on the 200-block of Central Street.
Police has searched for her Sunday night, visiting friends and family members where she might have stayed. Her mother reported her missing about 10 p.m. Sunday.
"Preliminary information suggests the girl had spent the night at the address with a friend," police said in a statement.
Police said detectives will continue the investigation to verify Kyevannah's whereabouts throughout the night and this morning, as well as determine the circumstances that led to her being reported missing.
Previous stories follow:
MANCHESTER — No indication exists that a girl missing from the center city has met with foul play, a police official said.
Still, police are busy trying to locate Kyevannah Karam, 9, a Central Street resident who hasn't been seen since about 9 p.m. Sunday.
"What we're feeling is potentially she is staying with her friend through the evening and didn't tell her mother," said police Lt. Maureen Tessier. "Our feeling is she is going to wake up somewhere with a friend."
Nothing suggests an abduction, Tessier said.
Tessier said police feel she remains in the Central Street area. Karam lives in the 200 block of Central Street.
Police heard from her mother about 10 p.m. after the mother had been unable to locate Kyevannah. Police visited addresses of friends and relatives Sunday night in an attempt to locate her. They are now trying to put the information out into the neighborhood via telephone calls.
She was uncertain whether the criteria had been met for an Amber alert.
— Manchester Police are searching for a missing 9-year-old girl, Kyevannah Karam, who disappeared Sunday evening.
She is described as a white female, 4 feet tall, and weighing 65 pounds. She has blond hair and hazel eyes.
She was last seen wearing a purple tank top and black shorts or leopard print shorts over a black bathing suit with polka dots.
She had reportedly been sighted at two separate addresses in her Central Street neighborhood Sunday evening, where she had been visiting friends. However, police say the girl had not returned home as expected and police are looking for the public's help in locating her.
Anyone with information about this missing girl is encouraged to contact the Manchester Police Department at 668-8711. Anonymous tips for cash rewards can be made through Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040 or online at manchestercriemline.org.

NH retirees to repay fraction of $500,000-plus in pension overpayments
By KATHRYN MARCHOCKI
New Hampshire Union Leader
NHRS settles: Double-dippers get off
Two former New Hampshire police officers who collected more than $500,000 in pension overpayments since they retired in 2001 were ordered to repay the state retirement system $20,000 each under a confidential agreement reached May 31 and made public Tuesday.
The settlement filed in Merrimack County Superior Court in Concord also required Belknap County to repay the New Hampshire Retirement System $23,699.
The NHRS initially refused to release details of the confidential agreement last week. It made the documents public as a result of a Right-to-Know request filed Aug. 30 by the New Hampshire Union Leader.
Attorney Kathleen Sullivan, representing the Union Leader, argued the public has a right to know whatever public funds were spent, recouped or administered as part of settlement agreements. The retirement system had outside counsel review the Right-to-Know request and released the agreement Tuesday — the first business day after it received the request.
The NHRS sought to recoup the pension payments after the retired officers began working full-time in other NHRS pension-eligible positions. The pensioners should have stopped receiving their pensions and started paying into the retirement system again, the NHRS decided.
The agreement was reached by the NHRS, retired police officers John M. Egan and Brian J. Loanes, and Belknap County. The NHRS signed off on the agreement June 18.
It requires Egan and Loanes to each repay $20,000 over 20 years through $83.33 monthly deductions from their retirement allowances. The deductions started in June.
Egan retired as a Meredith police officer in 2001 and now is community services coordinator for Belknap County. He had been ordered to repay an estimated $284,248 in pension overpayments to the retirement system, according to a Jan. 29, 2010 NHRS notice.
Loanes, who also retired in 2001 and now works as the director of Belknap County's Restorative Justice Program, was told he had to repay $248,505 he owed the retirement system, according to a 2010 notice from NHRS.
Recoupment cases are legal proceedings in which a retiree has a right to multiple appeals, including the right to petition the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
"When a recoupment case is brought, the retirement system believes it has enough evidence to pursue both the recoupment of pension payments and the unpaid contributions," NHRS spokesman Marty Karlon said in a statement.
"However, the parties involved have the right to present additional evidence and testimony to the NHRS hearings officer. In some cases, this additional evidence and/or testimony leads to a case being withdrawn by the NHRS or settled," he said.
Karlon said this case was settled before the hearings officer made a final recommendation to the NHRS board for recoupment.
All parties agreed to drop their claims against each other under the agreement.

Davis is the lone Hillsdale County player on the First Team.Reading teammates Jami Hubbard and and Brittany Marquart both received All-Big Eight honorable mention, while Jonesville senior Hannah Smith also was honorable mention.Davis led the Rangers in several categories this season.

Salem man arrested for domestic assault with caulking gunBy Adam Swift
Union Leader Correspondent
November 11. 2013 10:18AM
SALEM – A 59-year-old Bailey Road man was arrested on Sunday afternoon for domestic assault and resisting arrest after hitting a woman over the head with a caulking gun.
Thomas Dye, who was out on bail for a prior domestic assault in August, faces two counts of simple assault and one of resisting arrest for the incident.
Shortly before 2 p.m. on Sunday, police responded to Bailey Road for a domestic disturbance call, according to Deputy Chief Shawn Patten, where they found a 56-year-old woman who had been struck on the top of her head with a caulking gun and needed medical treatment.
When police arrived, Patten said Dye had locked himself inside the home and refused to leave.
"He screamed at the officers that they would have to kill him," said Patten. "One of the officers was able to look into the kitchen window and saw the suspect bleeding profusely from both wrists. (Dye) was bleeding so badly the officers decided they had to enter the residence or he may bleed out."
Once inside, Patten said officers had to taser Dye twice, but that Dye continued to violently struggle until several officers were able to get him into custody on the kitchen floor.
"Due to all the blood, it was extremely difficult to get him into custody," said Patten. "The suspect continued to struggle even after being cuffed and put on a stretcher. The suspect was extremely intoxicated and his wrist wounds required numerous staples to close."
Dye is being held at Rock County jail pending arraignment.
Patten said several police officers were treated for significant blood exposure and that numerous clothing articles and equipment were ruined as a result of the bloody encounter.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, disabling disease of the central nervous system. The disease causes inflammation, destruction, and scarring of the nerve sheath (called myelin) that covers nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. There can also be damage to the underlying nerve itself (called the axon). As a result, electrical signals are slowed or blocked.
There are several types of MS:
- Relapsing-remitting MS—Symptoms suddenly reappear every few months or years, last for a few weeks or months, and then go back into remission. Symptoms sometimes worsen with each occurrence.
- Primary progressive MS—Symptoms gradually worsen after they first appear. Relapses and remissions usually do not occur.
- Secondary progressive MS—After years of relapses and remissions, symptoms suddenly begin to progressively worsen.
- Progressive relapsing MS—Symptoms gradually worsen after they first appear. One or more relapses may also occur.
A malfunction of the body's immune system seems to be the cause of MS, but exactly why that occurs is not known. Researchers are still working to understand autoimmune diseases, in which the immune system, which normally protects the body from infection and other disease, starts attacking the body. The following conditions may contribute to MS:
- Viral or other infection
- Genetic factors (heredity)
- Environmental factors
According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, about 400,000 people in the US have multiple sclerosis.What are the risk factors for multiple sclerosis?What are the symptoms of multiple sclerosis?How is multiple sclerosis diagnosed?What are the treatments for multiple sclerosis?Are there screening tests for multiple sclerosis?How can I reduce my risk of multiple sclerosis?What questions should I ask my doctor?What is it like to live with multiple sclerosis?Where can I get more information about multiple sclerosis?

Five local businesses paid fines rather than have their liquor licenses suspended for four to five days as a sanction for selling beer to an 18-year-old who patronized their establishments in either July or August, according to documents from the Grand Junction office of the Colorado Liquor Enforcement Division.
They are the Diamond Belle Saloon, Digs Restaurant & Bar, Orios Roadhouse, W.J. Doyle Wine & Spirits and Zia Taqueria.
Regulators agreed to the fines because these businesses had no previous alcohol violations for the last two years. State officials also did not think that allowing the businesses to serve liquor would harm the public welfare.
The fines are equivalent to 20 percent of their gross alcohol revenues through four to five business days in the same month of the violation. The fines could not be less than $200 or more than $5,000.
Levies were:
The Diamond Belle Saloon, 651 Main Ave., paid a fine of $3,547.93.
Digs Restaurant & Bar, 125 Mercado St., paid a fine of $417.49.
Orios Roadhouse, 652 Main Ave., paid a fine of $1,370.60.
W.J. Doyle, 509 E. Eighth Ave., paid a fine of $3,030.12.
Zia Taqueria, 3101 Main Ave., paid $200.

As a state task force considers how to put the will of Colorados voters to legalize recreational marijuana into law, cities and counties are pondering how they will regulate the practice in their jurisdictions.
Amendment 64, passed by Colorado voters in November, authorizes the state to adopt legislation to regulate the sale of marijuana by July. Local governments also have the ability to choose from a wide array of possible regulatory actions that could include implementing bans on marijuana-related businesses, creating local regulations for the industry or putting the decision to voters.
In discussions this week, the La Plata County commissioners seemed most inclined to consider a temporary ban on all recreational marijuana facilities until at least six months after state legislation goes into effect to analyze state regulations and develop local licensing and land-use rules, if necessary.
According to Amendment 64, recreational marijuana businesses will need a state license and local approval.
For its part, the city of Durango approved the extension of a moratorium on new medical marijuana-related businesses until July 1. City staff members expect to bring up the issue and review options after the City Council election in April, City Manager Ron LeBlanc said.
Until we get some guidance, all of our options are on the table, LeBlanc said.
The town of Bayfield also enacted a moratorium that will last until July 31, and next month, the Ignacio Town Board will vote to ban medical marijuana-related businesses until August, managers of those towns said.
La Plata County likely would be in the minority of counties if it chooses to allow recreational marijuana businesses after a temporary ban expires, said Eric Bergman, policy and research supervisor with Colorado Counties Inc.
About one-third of Colorados counties currently allow medical marijuana facilities, and Bergman said he expects only about one quarter to roll out recreational marijuana regulations by Oct. 1, when local governments have to start accepting applications from businesses. Many other counties are expected to enact at least temporary bans, Bergman said.
In La Plata County, voters supported Amendment 64 by a margin of 62 percent to 38 percent.
Commissioners discussed creating regulations similar to those for medical marijuana facilities that would dictate where recreational marijuana facilities cannot locate rather than where they can. Commissioners said they expect crafting recreational marijuana regulations to take less time than the 2½ years it took the county to create medical marijuana regulations because they already have a foundation to work from. They also supported relying on state regulations as much as possible.
The county needs to be especially concerned with the potential for the area to become a destination for New Mexico residents looking to buy marijuana, Commissioner Julie Westendorff said.
Danielle Lorrigan, research analyst with the county attorneys office, said, The pent-up demand is coming from outside the state rather than inside the state.
The state task force is attempting to address the potential for pot tourism with proposed limits on how much marijuana out-of-staters can buy and signs saying it is illegal to leave the state with the drug in hand.
The potential for Amendment 64 to expand the marijuana business could be a reason why the countys medical marijuana regulations havent seen a lot of use, said Paul Kosnik, assistant county attorney.
Many medical marijuana facilities could be holding off on applying for licenses and land-use permits because they are reconsidering their business models, Kosnik said.
Of the six marijuana-cultivation facilities in the county, five are operating with expired temporary land-use permits. None have received the medical marijuana license that also is required by county regulations, Kosnik said.
Yet the countys ability to force operations to come into compliance with its regulations is limited, he said.
Our main remedies are to revoke or suspend a license, but thats not very helpful if (facilities) dont even have a license, he said.
But the county shouldnt assume that applications will continue to be as sparse when recreational marijuana laws go into effect, County Manager Joe Kerby said.
This is much bigger and will have a much greater impact than medical marijuana, Kerby said. Keep in mind when youre making regulations and taking public comment that this is really unknown territory.

NHGOP blasts AG's finding of no voter fraud by Democratic senator, campaign workersBy JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
August 26. 2013 3:56PM
CONCORD -- The state Republican Party said Monday the Attorney General's Office did a poor job of investigating alleged voter fraud by four campaign workers who temporarily lived at state Sen. Martha Fuller Clark's Portsmouth home during the 2008 and 2012 elections.
The AG's office wrote to state Republican chair Jennifer Horn last week that it found after an investigation, "the allegations of voter fraud" against Clark and the campaign workers "are not supported."
Horn said Monday, "The investigation appears to rely solely on self-serving statements from out of state campaign workers and made no effort to look at any objective evidence."
She also noted that the probe found "the extraordinary fact" that Democratic Party officials "instructed" campaign workers to register and vote in state elections.
Assistant Attorney General Steve LaBonte reported that the four campaign workers lived at Clark's home for several months prior to the 2008 or 2012 elections and then moved out of the state following those elections.
According to the report:
- Andrea Riccio moved to the state in May 2008, worked for the Democratic Party and Fuller Clark's campaign, registered to vote and then voted in the September 2008 primary and November 2008 general election, and then left the state in December 2008.
- Ellen Whelan-Wuest moved to the state in June or July 2008, worked for then-candidate Barack Obama's campaign, registered and voted in that year's September primary and November general election, and then, "after the 2008 general election," moved to New York City.
- Bryan Griffith moved into Clark's resident in the summer of 2012, worked on the Obama campaign, registered to vote in Portsmouth on Oct. 24 of that year and voted on Nov. 6. He moved out of the state in December 2012.
- Ryan Flynn stayed in Clark's home in the summer of 2012, worked on the Obama campaign and registered to vote in Portsmouth on election day, Nov. 6, 2012. He left the state after the election.
According to the AG's report, none of the workers discussed with Clark whether they would register to vote in New Hampshire.
However, the report said, Flynn "did say that the Democratic Party instructed campaign workers who were living in New Hampshire to register to vote in the town or cities (in which) they lived."
LaBonte pointed out that state law says, "An inhabitant's domicile for voting purposes is that one place where a person, more than any other place, has established a physical presence and manifests an intent to maintain a single continuous presence for domestic, social and civil purposes relevant to participating in democratic self-government."
"While working and living in New Hampshire, these individuals established a physical presence at (Clark's home) in Portsmouth, which continued for several months. There is no evidence to conclude they falsely claimed New Hampshire as their domicile at the time they registered to vote," LaBonte wrote.
NHGOP chair Horn said, "Under New Hampshire law, the standard to cast a ballot in our state is not to merely establish a physical presence, but to establish a physical presence 'more than any other place.'"
She said outstanding questions left by the probe include, "Did any of these out of state workers fulfill the requirements of our laws to change their driver's license and car registration within 60 days? Were they maintaining residences and paying rent in other states while they were staying in the guest bedroom of Martha Fuller Clark's mansion?
"There is no indication that the Attorney General truly investigated this important standard," said Horn.
"This investigation did uncover the extraordinary fact that New Hampshire Democratic Party officially orchestrated an effort to get out of state residents to vote in New Hampshire elections," Horn said.
"According to the Attorney General office's interview with Ryan Flynn, the Democrat Party 'instructed' operatives who parachuted into our state for a only a few weeks to vote here despite the fact that they were not permanent New Hampshire residents. Since Martha Fuller Clark is the Vice Chairman of the New Hampshire Democrat Party, it is implausible that she didn't discuss voter registration practices with her house guests given the instructions that Mr. Flynn revealed," she said.
"Drive by voting is unacceptable and illegal under New Hampshire law. You can't come to our state while maintaining residency in another state and expect to influence our elections. That is wrong, and Republicans will continue to explore other avenues to ensure that drive by voters are not canceling out the votes of legitimate New Hampshire residents," said Horn.
Horn had initially asked Attorney General Joe Foster to recuse himself from the investigation because he is a Democratic former state senator who served with Clark and because he has received campaign contributions from the state Democratic Party. Foster, however, refused.
State Democratic Party spokesman Harrell Kirstein said the AG's report supported his party's belief that, "from the very beginning this was a petty witch-hunt and a waste of taxpayer money.
"People on both sides of the aisle who have moved here and worked here and are domiciled here have voted here for years and years and years, and that's why this has never been an issue before," he said.

How do you do it?
It's better than I ever knew.

I will hold you close, if you're afraid of heights.
I need you to see this place, it might be the only way that I can show you how it feels to be inside of you.

Husband of missing Charlestown woman arrested in Vt. after chase
By MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader
Nicole Lavoie begins to cry after singing Amazing Grace at a vigil for missing Charlestown woman Kelly Robarge Tuesday. (MEGHAN PIERCE/Union Leader Correspondent)
Estranged husband of missing woman a 'person of interest'
Tears, fears flow at vigil for missing Charlestown woman
Search continues for missing Charlestown woman
The estranged husband of a missing Charlestown woman was arrested in Vermont on Tuesday after leading police on a chase that ended up at a community health center where he was seeking mental health care, authorities said.
James Robarge, 43, of Rockingham, Vt., pleaded not guilty at his arraignment in a Brattleboro courtroom Wednesday afternoon to charges of attempting to elude, a felony, and reckless operation, a misdemeanor, according to a court official. He was being held on $5,000 cash or surety bail. Bail conditions included not operating a vehicle or consuming alcohol, the official said.
Last Friday, the New Hampshire Attorney General's office put out a statement saying they believe Kelly Robarge "suffered significant physical harm or death."
Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell on Wednesday said Mr. Robarge "was seeking mental health care." Morrell also confirmed that Mrs. Robarge filed for divorce last Thursday, the same day she was last seen alive.
Mr. Robarge "was arrested on independent criminal charges" separate from the Charlestown investigation, Morrell said.
In a news release, Vermont State Police said that it became involved after Bellows Falls, Vt., police received a report about a suspicious person that made an appointment at the Rockingham Medical Group in Bellows Falls.
"The reporting party also advised that 'this person was likely to become violent' and may be involved in a missing person case from Charlestown, New Hampshire," the news release said. Police said the suspicious person was identified as Mr. Robarge.
Morrell said she couldn't comment on whether authorities questioned Mr. Robarge as part of their investigation.
"In a general sense, obviously anytime we're investigating the disappearance of a person, we're asking their family members about the last time they've seen them and their whereabouts and it's obvious if there's a domestic issue or pending divorce that the spouse would be an obvious person of interest to question," Morrell said.
Morrell said searchers from New Hampshire Fish and Game were out looking for Mrs. Robarge on Wednesday.
"As we've said from the beginning, we were concerned for her physical safety and thought she could be seriously injured or dead and with every passing day when she's not in touch with other family members, our concerns grow deeper," she said.
Vermont State Police said Bellows Falls police tried to intercept Robarge prior to his arrival at the medical facility to ensure the building's safety. Officers spotted Robarge traveling south on Vermont Route 121 in a 1996 Chevrolet Blazer with Vermont license plates. Officers stopped the Blazer, but Robarge refused to exit and sped into the village of Bellows Falls.
Robarge drove the Blazer into the medical building's parking lot, nearly striking pedestrians and coming to rest against a planter near the building's entrance. Robarge then immediately fled the vehicle and he ran inside the facility.
After running down several hallways, Robarge was taken into custody by officers from the Bellows Falls Police Department.
Joshua Dufresne, chief of practice operations for Springfield Medical Care Systems, in which the community health center belongs, didn't return phone messages Wednesday.

About Bamboo Garden
We started growing bamboo in 1980 and joined The American Bamboo Society (ABS) that same year. We helped establish the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the society and have served on the board of directors of both. Ned Jaquith, the late founder of Bamboo Garden, was elected in 2006, as vice president of the ABS and has been awarded Honorary Lifetime Membership due to over 25 years of whole-hearted efforts and generous bamboo knowledge. Ned Jaquith was one of the most significant bamboo growers, collectors, and promoters of our time. In addition to his amazing and diverse collection of bamboo, which evolved into our 20-acre nursery, he was a smart and generous person with a great sense of humor and goodwill. He will be greatly missed among bamboo lovers, the horticultural community, and his friends and family. We are very fortunate to be able to continue the nursery operation, Bamboo Garden, and provide the same level of service, expertise, and enthusiasm for bamboo as our founder.
The nursery is managed by Noah Bell, with over twelve years experience working closely with bamboo in the landscape and nursery trade, and managing Bamboo Garden since 2004. His bamboo photos and articles have been published by the ABS and German Bamboo Society (EBS) and Paul Whitakers book: Practical Bamboos. He is responsible for overseeing the production of about 300 different types of bamboo, maintaining our 20 acre nursery, and providing positive direction for our staff.
We specialize in hardy clumping species, as well as hardy giant timber bamboos, and have been at the forefront of introducing new species into the horticulture trade. See this link for our total collection. and this page for our regularly available species: price list. We have supplied bamboo for many large commercial landscaping projects including: Tacoma Zoo, Portland Classical Chinese Garden, Portland Japanese Garden, Oregon Zoo, Wellesley College in MA, Wayne Morse Courthouse in Eugene, OR, Asia Trail of National Zoo in Washington DC, Shangri La Project in Vancouver, BC, and many others. We work closely with landscaping companies, providing healthy and beautiful bamboo for commercial and residential landscapes, locally and afar. Finally, a huge thank you to all of our customers, without your support and continued business, this would not be possible...
Our largest project to date is the Asia Trail for the National Zoo in Washington DC as designed by The Smithsonian. Between February and June we worked tirelessly to put together a massive collection of bamboo meeting the criteria for this ambitious project. By mid June we had three, 53 foot semi trucks, packed full of our bamboo, ready to travel to Washington DC, and be incorporated into the Asia Trail design. It was a challenging, yet very rewarding task, working together among our staff and with our customers, seeing the project (and bamboo) grow from start to finish and achieving success in the landscape. The future looks bright for bamboo and we hope to be considered a reliable source, from the smallest mail order, to large-scale bamboo design, to other nurseries, and garden centers.

Gov. Hassan doubts Northern Pass easement effortBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 19. 2013 8:42PM
CONCORD — Gov. Maggie Hassan has added her voice to those warning that Northern Pass partners are not likely to succeed in any attempt to traverse the Connecticut Lakes Headwaters conservation area with 1,200-megawatt transmission lines, above ground or underground.
"I have met with just about everybody who has an opinion on Northern Pass, or would be impacted by Northern Pass, including Northern Pass officials, including families who oppose it, who have decided not to sell their land, as well as proponents of it," she said in a brief conversation with reporters at the end of the Executive Council meeting on Tuesday.
When asked if Northern Pass officials had suggested they might request an easement to bring the power lines underground through the conservation area, she said that now appears possible.
"It seems more and more clear that there will be questions about whether they can go under the headwaters easement," she said. "We have no formal request to go under the easement as of now, but my own view is that it would be a very difficult thing for them to do, given the terms of that easement."
If a request is made, it would have to be submitted to the Department of Resources and Economic Development, which holds the easement on behalf of the state. The Attorney General's office would serve in an advisory capacity.
"No formal request has been made to the Attorney General's office or this office," said Hassan spokesperson Marc Goldberg, "but it has been made clear that Northern Pass is likely investigating the potential use of the state's Connecticut Lake Headwaters easement."
The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests has been predicting for weeks that crossing a narrow section of the 146,000-acre easement would be necessary for Northern Pass to close the gap on properties it has already purchased.
Northern Pass spokesperson Martin Murray said partners in the project, which include PSNH, would not confirm or deny any plans for an easement request at this time. "We are not prepared to discuss specific conversations we've had while in the process of finalizing our new route," he said. "Our focus has been on exploring viable route options, in order to be responsive to the public feedback we've received. We look forward to sharing, in the near future, the details of a new proposed route — which will, of course, be respectful of governing easements or restrictions."
Executives for Northeast Utilities, the PSNH parent company, told industry analysts in May that a new route would be ready for presentation by July.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH, and former Sen. Judd Gregg, who were instrumental in creating the conservation area, recently issued a joint statement opposing any access to the area for Northern Pass, which would bring hydroelectic power from Quebec into the New England grid.
"We don't want to offer a legal opinion, but Senator Shaheen believes that the easement should be used to protect the Connecticut River headwaters from commercial or industrial development that is unrelated to the traditional land uses of forestry and outdoor recreation," said Shaheen spokesperson Elizabeth email@example.com

Quote from: jdawg70 on May 03, 2013, 08:34:24 AMWell, from that, I think a workable definition of the word 'greed' in this context could be:The desire and/or acquisition of any potentially limited resource either without due consideration for consequences to others or in spite of negative consequences to others.I propose that definition because from Astreja's original post, I didn't perceive anything that I would label as greed. I think, by and large, people associate a negative connotation to greed, and it's because when they think of 'greed' they are thinking of something similar to what I defined.Is that definition invalid or not useful in any way?Hmm. It approaches it - but suppose I said that my wife was a limited resource? There's only one of her, after all, and I can say pretty definitely that when I was courting her (to use the quaint expression), the last thing I was considering was whether I would upset anyone else if I "grabbed her for myself" (apologies for the expression!). Was that greed on my part? If so, then more praise greed!

Of course, partners on the whole may not be limited (and she'd quite rightly thump me for called her a "resource".....), but you see my point?If we restricted it to "material possessions" that might work better.....but if I'm bidding on ebay for a limited edition collector's whatever......there's limited numbers of those, and I can't recall ever stopping bidding just in case the other guy wants it for his dying child, or whatever. So am I "greedy" in that situation as well?
Restricting the definition to "more than you NEED" is problematical as well, as I've said. We NEED very little.I'm just saying that its hard to define "greed". We all pretty much know what it means, but it can be surprisingly hard to put into words, at least in my opinion. Maybe I'm just greedy though?

Greed is a murderer I will not apologize.
Quote from: junebug72 on May 03, 2013, 06:53:47 AMGreed is a murderer I will not apologize.And this is why no conversation with you is getting anywhere. You mistake thinking you know what you're talking about with actually knowing what you are talking about. You confuse opinion with fact, constantly.Seriously jb, either your reading comprehension sucks or you are prone to ridiculous presuppositions. And like it or not, you are badly lacking in critical thinking skills - that's probably not your fault, most people have to be taught to think critically, myself among them.You leap to completely unfounded conclusions and hold to them, despite them being created from thin air. You made some appalling accusations against Astreja because you assumed ridiculous things to be truthful that she never said - YOU were out of line, not Astreja. The fact that you likely don't even understand why is the real issue here. This has nothing to do with you being a believer among atheists, this is due to your own sloppy thinking.
Grow, raise. harvest, and/or produce your own food supply.Harvest seeds (and critters if you consume meat) from nature to do the above.Go everywhere on foot - unless you can provide a mechanical method of transportation that doesn't require the purchase of any material or a fuel source that cannot be produced by you alone.Raise cotton or sheep (or similar) to produce fiber to spin into thread, to make into fabric to create your own clothing.Grow and harvest lumber (or other material) to build your own shelter, again, seeded from nature, not a catalog, internet or store.Anyone not doing all of the above, just to name a few, is contributing to the problem of greed as it's being defined and presented by junebug and Heirophant.See how foolish this can get? Are you both hypocrites? I'm assuming you don't already do all the above, am I right?
Where greed really gets ugly is when politicians take money and pass laws that are not in the best interest of "we the people." That is why it's so bad right now. It is interfering with democracy.
In this thread, we're currently having a knock-down-drag-out fight in which one of the participants insists that greed is responsible for the majority of the world's ills. I'm going to take the opposing stance and point out the many benefits that I received because I decided not to be content with the absolute minimum.
You praise greed it is not slander. You did not say that the greed that causes so much pain and suffering was exempt of your praise and until you do you are embracing a monster. I have watched picture after picture of dead children stroll across my screen, so yes I'm quite disturbed when someones praises the very cause of those unnecessary tragedies.You tell me that you don't praise greed and I'll take it back.
No the facts are there you people just won't look at them. My thinking skills work just fine. You can not praise little greed w/o praising "big" greed unless you distinguish the two. No distinction was made.
Believe it or not Jag I scored the highest on reading comprehension, score= mastered! Astre can play the "devil's advocate" but don't be so whiny when people get in your face about it. I just wanted to show how terrible it sounds to say "I Praise Greed." That statement means a lot more than just her own personal experience it's a widespread epidemic that kills.
I have watched picture after picture of dead children stroll across my screen...
Rather than jump up and down about who murdered whom, I suggest we forget the accusations, reassess and calm down a little, perhaps to the level of a "knock-down-drag-out fight" : )
Strolling across your screen? What Linux distribution are you running on your computer, Junebug?
Neo-liberalism includes:1. THE RULE OF THE MARKET. Liberating "free" enterprise or private enterprise from any bonds imposed by the government (the state) no matter how much social damage this causes. Greater openness to international trade and investment, as in NAFTA. Reduce wages by de-unionizing workers and eliminating workers' rights that had been won over many years of struggle. No more price controls. All in all, total freedom of movement for capital, goods and services. To convince us this is good for us, they say "an unregulated market is the best way to increase economic growth, which will ultimately benefit everyone." It's like Reagan's "supply-side" and "trickle-down" economics -- but somehow the wealth didn't trickle down very much.2. CUTTING PUBLIC EXPENDITURE FOR SOCIAL SERVICES like education and health care. REDUCING THE SAFETY-NET FOR THE POOR, and even maintenance of roads, bridges, water supply -- again in the name of reducing government's role. Of course, they don't oppose government subsidies and tax benefits for business.3. DEREGULATION. Reduce government regulation of everything that could diminsh profits, including protecting the environmentand safety on the job.4. PRIVATIZATION. Sell state-owned enterprises, goods and services to private investors. This includes banks, key industries, railroads, toll highways, electricity, schools, hospitals and even fresh water. Although usually done in the name of greater efficiency, which is often needed, privatization has mainly had the effect of concentrating wealth even more in a few hands and making the public pay even more for its needs.5. ELIMINATING THE CONCEPT OF "THE PUBLIC GOOD" or "COMMUNITY" and replacing it with "individual responsibility." Pressuring the poorest people in a society to find solutions to their lack of health care, education and social security all by themselves -- then blaming them, if they fail, as "lazy."
For example, I'm greedy about sweets (and to a lesser degree, food). I eat too much food in general and eat far too much junk food and candy. That doesn't mean that I would let my greed for them run rampant if I were in a position of power.
You don't seem to understand that. From what I've seen, you're missing the distinction between the kind of stupid, destructive greed that you're complaining about, and the kind of intelligent, benevolent greed that improves things for people.
Maybe instead of breathing fire about this and scorching anyone who doesn't agree with you, you should take the time to review your facts and present them calmly.
When did I say anything about what you'd do in a position of power? That's completely irrelevant to the topic. For all I know, you are an angel in human form. So what? You are still part of a system of greed that exploits the marginalized in your society and people in the Third World to give you the lifestyle you live.
Because there is no such thing as "benevolent greed." Greed is the desire to accumulate resources beyond one's fair share. By definition greed means taking resources away from least fortunate or marginalized people. It may use intelligence in doing so, but it is not in itself intelligent. It is an unintelligent process which, on a world scale, is hurtling us towards the depletion of the planet's resources.
I have presented my case calmly. I have explained to you why your personal greed, your lifestyle, is hurting us on a global scale (although it particularly hurts some people, it also hurts all of us), but you people aren't listening. You just act as if the world stops at your nose.
That's pretty well what you implied by saying, "greed at a personal level is a reflection of these policies at the world level". You may not have intended it like that, but that's pretty much how it comes across. Yes, the system is based on greed. So what?
Not everything in this economic system is built on the exploitation of the marginalized dregs of society. There is much that's good about it, and you're dismissing all of it as "greed".
Actually, greed is not defined as taking resources away from those who are marginalized (that may be your definition, but you can't expect other people to just accept your redefinition of a word). It's defined as a selfish desire for more than what you need.
I don't think you can possibly have benevolence without selfishness
By the way, where do you live? Because its a little outrageous for you to lecture everyone here about lifestyles and such and how bad they are, when you most probably have a similar lifestyle. For example, you clearly have regular Internet access, with all that implies. You might come across a little more honestly if you didn't act like you weren't a part of the very problems you're complaining about.
As I said, "To protest about greed (which, it has been pointed out, is more-or-less indefinable) is to protest about the weather."
Why is me saying greed is bad a "political movement" but all the people here saying greed is good is not a "political movement"? Is it because I am a minority position and therefore must be rejected out of hand?
I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.
Quote from: junebug72 on May 02, 2013, 07:04:20 AMSelf preservation and greed are two different things goddess. You have not took more than you need.Oh, yes I have! I have a larder well stocked with spices. I own more than one computer. I have an E-book. I buy chocolate bars on a regular basis. I eat fast food. I spend $30.00/hour on weekly music lessons with a private instructor. I like to have a good bottle of whisky in the liquor cabinet. These are not things that I "need" -- These are things that I want.As for your ham-handed slander of My character, Junebug, I'm tempted to outright sue you for literally everything you own for insinuating that I would be "a friend to a murderer."You have 24 hours to post an unqualified apology in this thread.
Self preservation and greed are two different things goddess. You have not took more than you need.

Today we celebrated Christmas with my daughter, her husband, and three of the cutest "grandpups" "this side of the Mississippi". OK, this side of the Delaware.
Some time ago, and I don't even remember doing this, I put a book on one of those "Wish List" websites. I can't tell you when I last visited it, but I did. Anyway, I got two books, one of which was on my wish list.
"Doctors In Blue". The subtitle was 'The Medical History of the Union Army in the Civil War".
Why on earth a "medical book"? Oh yeah, Civil War. If you have been following that blog, you might note that I now have some interest in the Civil War. Medical? Don't think so.
Oh, but what about the Sanitarium I had been looking for, where my Grandfather worked. Maybe that's it.
I my have had question marks on my forehead or something, because Carrie said "you had it on your wish list".
But her next question got my attention. "Are we related to the Author"? WHO? was my answer. George WORTHINGTON Adams. My next answer "no clue".
As I have gotten into the habit of carrying my iPad2, I fired it up with the Ancestry AP and brought up my tree. Nope, not here.
But her question took me to Google search, and entered his name. Found what I was looking for. Who he was and what he did. A couple of hits down the list what what looked to be the beginning of a Family Tree. Hmmmm… Do YOU have your Tree Online? was the first thing that came to mine. Sure enough, I figured he would have been, probably one generation before I found the Worthington surname, which I did. Follow that back to Charles Worthington b: 1701.
THAT's OUR Charles Worthington, was my reply.
Carrie and Patrick were on their way to see Patrick's Uncle Ralph. Now Uncle Ralph and I have some things in common. One of which is that we were both in Vietnam about the same time, have been known to visit cemeteries. He captures some great stuff with pencil and paper, I try with a camera (with or with out film).
One of his Christmas presents was the same book that I got, and another Worthington (related) book that I had probably given to Carrie, but it was also about the Civil War.
As Carrie has also done some family history research, she asked my "and how are WE related" to "them". The Them was the author of the TWO books.
Carrie had joined us in the opening of the Worthington Trail, at the Monocacy Battlefield, just south of Frederick, Maryland. One of the farms, where this battle took place, was a Worthington Farm. I have posted about there here before. One of the people that lived in that house, as the time of the Civil War Battle wrote a book about his experience. Fighting for Time; The Battle that Saved Washington, by Judge Glenn Howard Worthington.
Having my genealogy online I gave here our ancestry back to the common ancestor for Judge Worthington.
Capt. John Worthington (1650-1701)
John Worthington 1689-1763
John Worthington 1728-1790
James Worthington1772-1854
John H Worthington 1793-1858
John Thomas Worthington 1826-1905
(Judge) Glenn Howard Worthington 1858-1934
(author Fighting for Time)
That's one book.
The Doctors in Blue looks like this.
Capt. John Worthington (1650-1701)
Charles Worthington 1701-1774
Samuel Worthington 1746-1821
James Worthington 1779-1813
Thomas Worthington 1801-1888
George Balford Worthington 1846-1895
Minna Worthington 1870-1949
George Worthington Adams 1905-1981
(author Doctors in Blue)
John and Charles were brothers. John the oldest, Charles the youngest.
But, where are WE?
Capt. John Worthington (1650-1701)
Charles Worthington 1701-1774
John Worthington 1733 -1803
Samuel Worthington 1785-1853
Henry Wilson Worthington 1815-1866
Samuel Worthington 1843-1897
Henry Russell Worthington 1887 – 1953
Henry Russell Worthington Jr 1916-2006
We also are descendants of Charles Worthington (1701-1774)
Uncle Ralph will be impressed??? (don't think so) But wait, Carrie, Patrick and Uncle Ralph are going to the town where another of my ancestors lived, the Whitall House.
One more genealogy report.
Samuel Worthington (1843-1897) was married to:
Sarah Catherine Reeve 1849-1894
Job Whitall Reeve 1800-1861
Hannah Whitall 1775-1832
Job Whitall 1743-1798
James Whitall 1717-1808 Ann Cooper 1716-1797
(Owners of Whitall house during revolutionary war)
Uncle Ralph's wife keeps reminding me that my ancestors are everywhere. Yup, even in her own neighborhood.
Guess I better be more careful for what I wish for. Another branch to research. That makes three. Two going back to the Civil War. That's two in two weeks. Guess I know what I will be doing in 2012.
Uncle Ralph, Enjoy your new books.
