Directories are a useful source of names and addresses for the genealogist.
Handbooks and guides are excellent starting points for genealogical research.They can provide general background information on all aspects of the subject, define unfamiliar terms, and offer bibliographies of other sources.If there is an index, it should be used for best access to a subject.
Bibliographies suggest other sources of information, which may or may not be owned by the NMSU library.Books not owned by the NMSU library may be borrowed through interlibrary loan with the permission of the owning library.Non-students should use the Branigan Library interlibrary loan service.Many genealogical books are not available through interlibrary loan, but may be used in person at the owning library.

There are many things to do in New York. One of the most emotionally rewarding, has to be a good Treat Yo Self day. Treat yo self is a termed coined by Donna and Tom. Two fictional characters of Parks and Recreation that took one day out of the year off from work simply to splurge on themselves. We all need those days. We need to take the time to enjoy the finer things in life. After all, we only have one life to live!
There are three upscale Upper West Side restaurants that you've got to try if you're going treat yo self . The first being a prohibition-era-esque lounge with live music .
On the outside the jazz lounge is humble with its appearance, meek with its all-around black exterior with brassy undertones and gold accents. It is so understated that it stands out amongst all of the other eateries around it. When you enter the lounge you are greeted by a neat and upscale ambience dressed in beautiful brick walls accompanied by beige and crimson accents with beautiful chandelier after beautiful chandelier hanging within feet of one another.

doesn't have a 4.5 star rating for nothing. Open from 5:30 pm-3:30 am, you have different choices of menus based on whether or not there is a performer…oh did I forget to mention? Yeah. You get live jazz. It really doesn't get any fancier than that. Enjoying soul food while listening to enticing music is definitely a strong way to treat yo self.
If you're able to get an early start on your day, you might find time to make your way to

BOSTON, May 23, 2018 – Last night, after a thoughtful and substantive debate, the Massachusetts Senate voted 25–13 to approve Sen. Jamie Eldridge's
Globe Mens Mahalo SG Skateboarding Shoe Black/Gum 0oykuDJKs
, which adds four key protections for immigrants to the state budget for FY2019.
In particular, the amendment bars police from asking about people's immigration status unless required by law; ends 287(g) contracts that deputize state and local law enforcement as ICE agents; requires that immigrants be notified of their due-process rights; and ensures that Massachusetts does not contribute to any registry based on religion, ethnicity, citizenship or other protected categories.
The Senate then voted 25–13 to reject an amendment that included the same provisions, but also would have authorized police to detain immigrants for ICE, undoing the gains of the Supreme Judicial Court's Lunn v. Commonwealth decision last year.

The 22nd annual Immigrants' Day at the State House was both a reckoning with the devastating impact of the Trump administration, and a reminder of the importance of state- and local-level action.
BOSTON, April 4, 2018 – The theme of the day was "Immigrants get the job done," and dozens of black-and-orange posters offered proof in numbers.
1 in 5 workers in Massachusetts is an immigrant; 1 in 5 entrepreneurs, too; 59% of medical and life scientists. Immigrants in our state pay $8.4 billion in federal taxes each year, and $3.5 billion in state and local taxes. 7,100 workers are Salvadorans or Haitians with Temporary Protected Status.
Sharing a knowledge and love of plants
You are here: » » What is Interior Landscaping?
Interior landscaping is the practice of designing, arranging, and caring for living plants in enclosed environments. Creative Interior Plantscapes calls this 'interior landscaping' even though land is not literally being reshaped. 'Interior landscaping' is an appropriate term because indoor environments contain plains, angles, and horizons that are softened, accentuated or altered by the addition of plants and planters-thus landscaping the interior. Similar to outdoor landscapes, interior landscapes provide spaces with ornament, color, sculptural elements, focal points, and an overall pleasant environment.
In the trade, interior landscaping is also known as plantscaping and interiorscaping. Interior landscape firms will use one of the three terms or a combination. While interior landscaping is an accurate description of this specialty, plantscape and interiorscape are words that were invented at the birth of the interior landscape industry to define the trade. Plantscape and interiorscape may have originated in the early 1970s as the name of interior landscape companies but have since then become generic phrases that describe the specialty.
Academics and authors tend to be aligned with one term set with their own definition. Richard Gains, AIA the author of Interior Plantscaping (1977), says he uses the term plantscapes to "differentiate from interior landscape office planning." Gains' plantscape definition is restricted to plants within enclosed structures. Nelson Hammer, ASLA author of Interior Landscapes: An American Design Portfolio of Green Environments (1999) features gardens inside buildings defined as 'interior landscapes'. Interestingly, Paul Cooper landscape architect and author of Interiorscapes: gardens within buildings (2003) extend his definition to include gardens that are "open to the air, as well as gardens that, although not contained by the architecture, are intrinsic to it." 'Interiorscape' is also the name of a trade magazine for the interior landscape community. In contrast of the tendency to favor one term, the cover of Interiorscape magazine bears the slogan "interior plantscaper's most read, most awarded information source since 1981." While the definitions differ, Interior landscape, plantscape, and interiorscape are synonymous.

With a name like Heartbleed, it's no surprise it's bad. A vulnerability in OpenSSL — the Internet's most commonly used cryptographic library — has been bleeding out information, 64 kilobytes at a time, since March 2012.
"I would classify it as possibly the top bug that has hit the Internet that I've encountered, because of it being so widespread, because it's so hard to detect," says Andy Grant, a security analyst at iSEC Partners.
Are you affected? Well, users may not even realize they are using OpenSSL. But if you've ever noticed that websites you access show an "https" address, and a lock appears next to the address, you're on OpenSSL.
OpenSSL encrypts your data, including passwords and personal information, when it travels to a server. That means you may enter a password into your online banking site, but as the information for your transaction travels to your bank, it's jumbled up and made indecipherable — encrypted — as it's traveling through the Internet. This is supposed to keep hackers from eavesdropping.
Just before the bug was publicly disclosed, the people who maintain OpenSSL had fixed the vulnerability. But it's up to Internet companies to enter fixes for their own software — "swapping out" the cyberlocks that protected their data.
"You're probably protected from this point going forward," NPR's news applications developer Jeremy Bowers told member station WUNC on Wednesday. "The part that is dangerous is the [open vulnerability of the] previous two years and the possibility that at any point since 2012 that your [logins] for various places were compromised."
While individual users can't patch the holes, keep in mind some general Internet hygiene that we should be doing anyway.
- Change your password every few months. Because so many of our transactions are conducted online, this is a good practice to have no matter what. But to be extra safe, use two-factor authentication, which typically means you need to know a piece of information — like a password — and have a piece of information, like a freshly generated pass code that shows up only on your personal smartphone, before getting into certain sites.
- Be a little leery of public Wi-Fi networks. If you are hopping on the Wi-Fi at Starbucks and other public places, limit your Internet behavior to the things you wouldn't mind people being able to find out and transactions that aren't especially sensitive.
- If you have VPN, use it. If your company or school offers a virtual private network, or VPN, connect that way. It's still fairly safe.
- Don't freak out. Sites like Amazon, Google and other major Internet companies have already secured themselves and fixed the vulnerabilities disclosed this week.
- Test to see which sites are vulnerable. LastPass has created a Web app that will tell you what kind of encryption a site uses, and when the encryption was last updated. Filippo Valsorda and SSL Labs have built a Web app that will test whether a site is still vulnerable to the Heartbleed bug. And Bluebox Security, a mobile security company, built an app that will scan your Android phone to test whether it uses vulnerable versions of OpenSSL, either in its operating system or in any of your apps.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
And I'm Melissa Block.
A security flaw in one of the most popular encryption programs on the Web is raising alarms. The so-called Heartbleed bug first made news on Monday. Online attacks that take advantage of the bug could expose all kinds of sensitive information and it would be difficult, if not impossible, to detect.
So we asked NPR's technology correspondent Steve Henn what, if anything, users can do to protect themselves.
STEVE HENN, BYLINE: If you bank or shop online, if you use Yahoo or Gmail or sign into work remotely using a virtual private network, your communications may have been compromised.
ANDY GRANT: It's definitely catastrophic.
HENN: Andy Grant is a security analyst at iSEC Partners.
GRANT: I would have to classify it as possibly the top bug to hit the Internet that I've encountered - because of it being so widespread, because it's so hard to detect. It leaves zero trace.
HENN: The Heartbleed bug isn't a virus or a malicious attack. It's basically a programming mistake in a popular, free encryption service - which no one noticed for more than two years. And this mistake made it possible to trick a device or website into handing over private encryption keys. So you know that little padlock you see on your Web browser when you visit a secure website? This bug made it possible to pick that lock. So just how can consumers protect themselves?
AARON GRATTAFIORI: I've definitely stayed off of the Internet as much as I can.
HENN: Aaron Grattafiori is also at iSEC Partners. And unfortunately, he's not joking. Before consumers can do anything to protect themselves, the vulnerable sites they depend on have to be fixed; the locks on those websites have to be swapped out. After that happens, it probably makes sense for you to change your passwords on your most important accounts, for things like email or online banking.
We're posting links on npr.org so you can see for yourself what websites are safe now, which ones may have been vulnerable in the past, and which of your devices or apps could be vulnerable, too. Unfortunately, it turns out it's not just websites that are affected. Millions of android phones are vulnerable as well.

John DiStaso's Granite Status: Just who is looking to build a New Hampshire casino?
By JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
WHO'S IN THE GAME? As debate heats up at the State House, a major complaint about
Senate Bill 152
, the primary casino legalization bill, is that it's tailored to one potential bidder.
That entity is Millennium Gaming, the Nevada firm that has long held an option to buy Salem's Rockingham Park.
One of the leading purveyors of this belief is Jerry Gappens, general manager of New Hampshire Motor Speedway. He brought his concerns to a key House gambling subcommittee last week.
But other gambling advocates say that's not the case. They note that state Lottery Commission Executive Director Charlie McIntyre told lawmakers just more than a week ago that he has spoken with five interested parties.
Who are they and how recent is their interest?
Well, three are obvious:
-- Millennium
-- Gappens' speedway.
-- Greenmeadow Country Club in Hudson, which says it has an entity ready and willing to build and operate a casino on its property.
Then there are potential out-of-state bidders.
SB 152 chief sponsor Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, saying he has "nothing to hide," tells us that in addition to Millennium, he has personally spoken to two groups:
-- Penn National Gaming, which has 29 casinos or racing facilities in 19 states, including a casino in Bangor, Maine, and is bidding for a casino license in Springfield, Mass.
A spokesman for the firm had no comment regarding New Hampshire, saying only that the firm is routinely "monitoring" developments on the gambling front in New Hampshire and nationally.
-- Mohegan Sun's management firm, whose officials D'Allesandro said he visited in Connecticut. The firm did not return our calls seeking comment.
D'Allesandro acknowledged his contacts with the two groups occurred more than a year ago, but he believes they remain interested in the single New Hampshire license if his bill passes.
Neil Bluhm, a major player in the gambling industry, last year expressed interest in a Nashua location for a casino. He set up a firm in the state, New Hampshire Gaming and Entertainment LLC, and hired the Dupont Group to facilitate his contacts with state officials.
But Bluhm, who has casinos in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Des Plaines, Ill. (near Chicago), earlier this year jumped into the bidding process for a slot machines parlor in Worcester, Mass., and has not yet rekindled his contacts in New Hampshire, including with the Dupont Group. It is unclear whether he will make a move.
His company's officials were in Worcester last Wednesday answering questions about their project there and did not return our call or email seeking comment.
Lottery chief McIntyre says the period of time between his contacts with gaming companies ranges from more than a year ago to one made "recently."
McIntyre said he is not taking sides on the bill, but is sure if it passes and becomes law, many more bidders "will come out of the woodwork. I believe a bunch of folks are lying in the weeds."
D'Allesandro said, "It's an open process and people will say what they will" about whether the bill favors Millennium. "But if you've got $500,000, you ought to apply for the license." That's the cost of a nonrefundable application fee.
- - - - - - -
"WRITTEN FOR MILLENNIUM." Gappens on Thursday spoke bluntly before a subcommittee of the House "supercommittee" reviewing gaming.
"I'm a firm believer that this bill is written for Millennium," he said. "I don't feel it's really an open bidding process."
First, said Gappens, the bill would allow only one facility to be licensed. Gappens said he preferred a failed 2010 bill, which would have allowed as many as four gambling sites.
Second, he noted, this year's bill would allow up to 5,000 slot machines and 150 table games at the single location. Gappens said 5,000 slots are too many to be feasible at a location in Loudon.
Third, Gappens said, the bill would require a minimum capital investment of $425 million.
"I'm not sure it makes sense to end up with a $425 million building in Loudon, New Hampshire," he said.
And fourth, the bill would require the lottery commission to send out requests for applications within 60 days of the bill's passage. That, he said, would favor a firm such as Millennium, which has had a presence in the state and presumably has been preparing its bid for years.
D'Allesandro disagrees, predictably.
He said the time frame written into the bill was aimed at moving "before our competitors (in Massachusetts) get to it. If a company needs an extension, it can apply for one."
He said that while the bill calls for a minimum $425 million investment in a facility, "the number could have been higher. We originally talked about making it higher, as much as $500 million."
D'Allesandro noted that Millennium got in the game early. It purchased its Rockingham option in 2005, with co-CEO Bill Wortman personally becoming a part-owner shortly thereafter.
"That is what it is," D'Allesandro said. "Anybody else could have bought in," and Wortman, he said, should not be blamed for making an investment.
"In reality of whether this bill comes or goes, I think he's going to get his money back because the land has that much value," D'Allesandro said.
Gappens believes the $500,000 application fee should be placed in escrow and refunded to the unsuccessful bidders.
He said NHMS has lined up a gaming firm to build and operate a casino on the speedway's 1,100-acre tract. But he said he would have "a hard time" persuading his board of directors to sanction him "gambling" a $500,000 fee if it was nonrefundable or if the number of sites for a casino in the state was limited to one.
Gappens said there's little consolation in the bill's "vague" provision for the establishment of a committee to study the feasibility of additional future casino sites.
He said Maine initially licensed only one casino, which was built in Bangor in 2004. Eight years passed, he said, before Maine's second casino opened, in Oxford.
Overall, said Gappens, NHMS wants to maximize its investment in the motor speedway, which he said is an April-to-October operation, by making it a year-round destination.
He said the speedway has spent more than $20 million on improvements since buying from Bob and Gary Bahre in 2008. In 2012, the speedway attracted 400,000 visitors, ensuring a strong market for the new casino.
- - - - - - -
WHERE WE STAND. So, with a month to go before an expected May 29 vote in the House, where does gambling stand?
Talking to people at the State House who are intimately involved on either side, it appears that if the vote were taken today, the bill would fail.
"We're behind," a supporter told us.
The spread we're hearing ranges widely, from 30 votes down to only five or six, with dozens of House members undecided or not saying how they feel.
There's a month to go and not a sure bet either way.
Most of the undecided members are Democrats, and a key issue with them is the $80 million licensing fee that Gov. Maggie Hassan placed in her budget for key programs. It was removed by the House.
Will Hassan bring these Democrats to her side when the time comes?
- - - - - - -
POLLS AND MORE POLLS. Message to pollsters: It's an off-year in New Hampshire state and federal elections.
No matter, apparently.
First, the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling showed good news for U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Gov. Hassan.
The same poll showed U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte "under water" with a favorability rating of 44 percent and an unfavorable of 46 percent.
Late Wednesday, a WMUR poll conducted by the UNH Survey Center showed a much different result for Ayotte.
She had a favorable/unfavorable rating of 50/25 percent. It must be pointed out, though, that WMUR-UNH poll was taken earlier than the PPP but not released until April 25. In the meantime, Ayotte cast her controversial vote against the expansion of background checks to gun purchases made at gun shows and over the Internet.
That same poll showed Shaheen with a favorable/unfavorable of 59/23 percent. Good news there.
But it was not so good for the two Democrats in the U.S. House. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter's favorable/unfavorable was 31/32 percent and Rep. Annie Kuster's was 29/30 percent.
- - - - - - -
LIMOUSINE SHAHEEN? The senior senator will be feted by the National Limousine Association at a fundraiser for her reelection campaign on May 21 during the NLA's "Day on the Hill."
Republicans will have fun with this one, and Democrats will point out that the NLA represents an industry that employs drivers, manufacturers and suppliers.

70 mph to Canada: Press the gas
March 05. 2013 6:17PM
Here is a challenge: Try driving at or below the speed limit on Interstate 93 above Concord until you reach your destination. It is tricky. So many other drivers go faster than 65 miles per hour that obeying the law can make one feel less safe than breaking it.
Statistically, it turns out that the sensation is justified. On highways, most people will travel the speed that feels most safe and comfortable, regardless of the posted speed limit. If the posted limit is significantly lower than the average speed, then the limit itself actually decreases public safety by creating a dangerous differential in speed. Those differentials can be more dangerous than speed itself, depending on the highway.
Interstate 93 above Concord is one of those highways on which the 65 mph speed limit does not make people safer. Today the House considers House Bill 146, which would raise the speed limit on I-93 to 70 mph from Canterbury to Canada (except for the stretch through Franconia Notch, which would remain the same).
This bill will not decrease public safety (most people drive faster than 65 mph anyway), and it might just increase tourism. Passing it will reduce dangerous passings on the highway. Legislators should do it.

Law Warehouses appeals loss of state liquor contract to N.H. Supreme CourtBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 12. 2013 8:43PM
CONCORD — Law Warehouses of Nashua has taken its case to the state Supreme Court, asking the High Court to overrule a Superior Court judge who refused to grant an injunction blocking the transfer of the state Liquor Commission warehousing business to Exel of Westerville, Ohio.
The petition filed on Friday also asks the Supreme Court to both hear and rule on the appeal of Judge Diane Nicolosi's decision before Exel begins work for the state in November.
In denying the request for an injunction from the trucking and warehouse company that's held the contract since the 1990s, Nicolosi wrote that Law "failed to produce compelling evidence of favoritism or material deviation from bidding requirements."
In their appeal, Law's attorneys ask the justices to rule on whether Nicolosi erred on a number of points, including her assertion that Law Warehouses failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success at trial.
A review would give the Supreme Court an opportunity to address fundamental issues about the competitive bidding process in the state, according to Law's attorneys.
"The public has an interest in ensuring that the 20-year contract, which has been valued at approximately $200 million, was awarded fairly, and secures the best work or supplies at the lowest prices practicable," they write.

Photographs of Vietnam
Photographs of Vietnam - Rick Carlson
These photographs were taken by me over the course of 12 trips to Vietnam between 1996-2012. Several photos were taken in the area of Nha Trang City where the majority of my wife's family lives. I hope that in viewing my images and reading the accompanying comments, you will learn more about this very interesting country and its people.
All of the photos prior to 2006 were taken on either colour slide film or black & white film. A digital camera was used starting that year, making this work so much easier. If you're curious when they were taken, or about other details, you can use the dropdown menu on the upper right hand corner of this page labelled "Listing Type" and choose one of the detailed listing options.
Thanks for taking the time to view my photography.

One of the most exciting wide recievers in the NFL. Currently plays for the Cincinnati Bengals. He's known for his cocky attitude and creative touchdown celebrations.
by tyrannus maximus October 13, 2005
One of the best wide receivers in the world. Also known as "Ocho Cinco".
Chad Johnson was fined 5,000 for wearing ocho cinco on his jersey, which is pocket money to him.
by anonymouse117 November 03, 2006
When you get so angry at someone you commit the act of headbutting the dog shit out of them.
I'm gonna "chad Johnson" your ass if you don't get out of my face with that bullshit!
by Caddy B. August 18, 2012
The definition of a good wide reciever. He talks the talk, and can back that shit up, because he has amassed over 1,100 receiving yards in each of four seasons in the NFL. There is only one real Ocho Cinco baby, and he is here to stay.
There are three things guaranteed in life:
1) Death
2) Taxes
3) Number 85 will ALWAYS be open
Here's a question, take your time, its a tough one.
How do you stop Number 85?
Answer: You can't baby, nothing can stop Chad Johnson.
1) Death
2) Taxes
3) Number 85 will ALWAYS be open
Here's a question, take your time, its a tough one.
How do you stop Number 85?
Answer: You can't baby, nothing can stop Chad Johnson.
by BIG YETI DICK November 09, 2006
Chad Johnson is the best wide reciever in the whole NFL. Hes got 4 str8 years leading the AFC in recieving yards and last season he had the most yards in the whole NFL. His celebrations are always something to look forward to,because you never know what he will do next. Chad is so fast that he can even beat a horse in a race. If you don't believe me you can see it on google videos if you want. Ocho Cinco #1 and will go to the hall of fame
Chad Johnson is such a Beast that he cannot be stopped....Most teams have to double or even triple cover him and he can still come down w/ the ball. If there is double or triple coverage on him that means that there will always be someone else open...

Bedford, Goffstown break-ins linked?By SUSAN CLARK
Union Leader Correspondent
July 18. 2013 12:28AM
GOFFSTOWN — Two burglaries in Goffstown may be related to recent break-ins in Bedford, police said.
"This summer we've seen a large spike in burglaries," Goffstown Lt. Pierre Pouliot said.
The two Goffstown incidents were about a mile-and-a-half apart. No arrests have been made, police said.
There is a possibility the crimes are connected to July 12, 13 and 15 burglaries on Bedford's Ministerial Road, Boynton Street, Lynn Drive, Quincy Drive and Nancy Lane. The thieves took electronics and jewelry in the break-ins, which were between 1 and 8 p.m.
This year, Goffstown police have investigated 24 burglaries in town.
"That's a lot for us," Pouliot said.
In the most recent incidents, Goffstown police said burglars entered a Daniel Plummer Road home on Monday about 6:30 p.m., taking a laptop, a Wii game system and a TV. Police were called about 8:30 p.m.
Police said entry was made through an unlocked window. No one was home; a witness reported a small, dark-colored van in the area around the time of the thefts. No license place was noted, Pouliot said.
On Walnut Hill Road, someone broke into a basement window, triggering a burglar alarm at the police department, Pouliot said the culprit was scared off; no items were stolen. The residents were not home at the time.
"Always lock your doors and windows. They can access garage doors to gain entry into the home," Pouliot said.
Anyone with information can contact the Goffstown Police Department at 497-4858.
The department offers a free home check for residents going on vacation.

A year after Manchester police shooting, a life-saving tourniquet is standard issue in cruisersBy DALE VINCENT
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 20. 2013 10:13PM
MANCHESTER - A year after he was shot seven times by Myles Webster and left to die on a West Side street corner, police officer Dan Doherty is back at work full-time on his preferred shift - midnights.
But without the tourniquet a fellow officer applied to Doherty's leg at the scene of the shooting, Doherty may well have bled to death. As a result, all Manchester police officers have been trained to apply a tourniquet and render other emergency aid. The response didn't stop there.
"We took it one step further," said Sgt. Mark Sanclemente, department training officer.
Thanks to a grant, the department now has a first aid/trauma kit in every cruiser.
The man who tried to kill Doherty, 26, now sits in the New Hampshire State Prison, serving a sentence of 60 years to life on his convictions for attempted murder, reckless conduct and robbery. Webster, 23, who was only six months out of a federal prison at the time of the shooting, has appealed his convictions to the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
At Webster's trial in December, a doctor testified in Hillsborough County Superior Court North that the tourniquet put on Doherty's left leg was a key element in his survival.
Police Chief David Mara was so impressed that he ordered every Manchester police officer to be trained to properly place a tourniquet and perform other medical assistance.
First on the scene
Sanclemente said officers Brandon Murphy and Tom Gonzales were the first backup officers to arrive at the shooting scene last March 21. The two had issued the alert about a man who appeared to have a weapon tucked in his pants in the area of RiteAid at McGregor Square.
"They were the first with Dan," said Sanclemente.
Murphy, who along with Gonzales is a member of SWAT, had undergone medical training two months before. He immediately assessed the situation and put a tourniquet on Doherty's left leg.
After many surgeries, intensive therapy and with a titanium rod in his left leg, Doherty was able to return to work the first week of February, surprising many fellow officers when he appeared without notice at roll call.
Doctors credited Doherty's survival to his youth, physical condition, the EMTs who sped him from the shooting scene at Wayne and Rimmon streets to nearby Catholic Medical Center, the doctors who operated - and the tourniquet.
There are two medics assigned to SWAT, which is not a full-time job, but now everyone is trained on first aid, including tourniquet application, Sanclemente said.
"To apply to yourself or a teammate," he said.
A dangerous job
Mara said the shooting didn't prompt changes in training because Doherty did everything right, including calling for backup when he spotted Webster, who fled when initially confronted and turned and fired as Doherty closed in on him.
Manchester uses one-person cruisers. If two officers are needed for an incident at a specific address, it's easy to coordinate the arrival, said Mara.
But often it is a search without a definite address.
"If we do find them," he said, the officer calls for backup. "You have to think quick," he said.
"Dan's actions and the actions of other police officers that night show the importance of training." Mara added: "We will continue to train."
Sanclemente said: "We try to prepare for anything."
That's why the department participated in an "active shooter exercise" at Parkside Middle School Feb. 18, when children were on holiday for Washington's Birthday. Police worked with the fire department and paramedics in the mass shooting exercise.
The Manchester Police Department has scheduled an entry level police officer examination May 18 at Memorial High School, with an application deadline of May 8.
Asked if the Doherty shooting is likely to have an effect on applications, Sanclemente, stressing that he was speaking only for himself, said he does not believe it will.
"It's just a dangerous job that we do," he said. "People know what it entails."

MICR toner cartridges are specialty cartridges filled with magnetic particles. There is a difference between regular toner cartridges and MICR Cartridges. The real difference between MICR Toner and regular toner cartridges is that MICR Toner contains a higher iron ore content to allow you to print professional bank checks from your current laser printer. This will enable you to print professional bank checks from your own home or office. Banks use Magnetic Ink Character Recognition to read checks with their check scanning machines, and this requires the checks be printed with MICR Toner. If you would like to print your own checks conveniently and save money you will need to print your checks with Magnetic Toner. The advantage to using MICR Cartridges is when your check is processed at the bank it can be read and sorted by high speed processing machines allowing the bank to accurately process the checks using automated equipment. If you do not use MICR Cartridges your checks will have to be entered manually and will be subject to bank fees. These bank fees are per-check and will add up quickly depending on how many checks you print a month.We carry a large selection of Magnetic Ink Character Recognition cartridges for several laser printer brands including HP, Lexmark, IBM, Source Technologies, Troy and more. Choose your brand of printer from the menu below, select your model and we will have you printing your checks with MICR Toner in no time flat. Most MICR Toner Cartridges are shipped same day. Your checks will scan at your bank guaranteed.

Johann Sebastian BachGerman
One of the greatest composers in history, Johann Sebastian Bach (father of C.P.E, J. C. and W. F. Bach) was by far the most significant member of the Bach dynasty of musicians.
He outshone his forebears and contemporaries, but did not always receive the respect he deserved in his own lifetime. After a brief engagement as a violinist in the court of Weimar, Bach became organist at the Neukirche in Arnstadt. In June 1707 he moved to St. Blasius, Mühlhausen, and married his cousin Maria Barbara Bach. In 1708 he was appointed court organist in Weimar where he composed most of his works for organ. In 1717, he was appointed Court Kapellmeister to the young Prince Leopold at Cöthen, but was refused permission to leave Weimar. The Duke only allowed Bach to go after holding him prisoner for nearly a month.
While at Weimar, Bach wrote his violin concertos and the six Brandenburg Concertos, as well as several suites, sonatas and keyboard works, including several, such as the Inventions and Book I of the 48 Preludes and Fugues (The Well-tempered Clavier). In 1720 Maria Barbara died, and the next year Bach married Anna Magdalena Wilcke. Bach resigned the post in Weimar in 1723 to become cantor at St. Thomas' School in Leipzig where he was responsible for music in the four main churches of the city. Here he wrote the Magnificat and the St. John and St. Matthew Passions, as well as a large quantity of other church music. In Leipzig he eventually took charge of the University "Collegium Musicum" and occupied himself with the collection and publication of many of his earlier compositions.
Over the years that followed, Bach's interest in composing church music declined somewhat, and he took to writing more keyboard music and cantatas. As his eyesight began to fail, he underwent operations to try and correct the problem, and these may have weakened him in his old age. He died at age 65, having fathered a total of 20 children with his two wives. Despite widespread neglect for almost a century after his death, Bach is now regarded as one of the greatest of all composers and is still an inexhaustible source of inspiration for musicians. Bach's compositions are catalogued by means of the prefix BWV (Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis) and a numbering system which is generally accepted for convenience of reference.

Journal is a powerful tool in NX/Unigraphics that allows common Engineering routines to be automated. This website is being designed for the Engineer with a modicum of programming knowledge who desires to create journals in NX/Unigraphics. We will rely predominately on the coding learned from Visual Basic to create our journals. If you are a complete novice to programming, you may find it best to grab an easy Visual Basic(VB) book from your local library and familiarize yourself with the basics code writing before attempting to create your own journals.
Trotters B07B9JRXJS Women s Jenkins 6939 Women Flat Navy 278d131 - pokemongohacks.website
The journal below was submitted by user kam; it creates an isometric drafting view based on a selected view and a selected location. It allows you to quickly create an iso view with only a couple of clicks. The code should be run from the drafting application; there needs to be a drawing sheet with at least one view. When run, the journal will prompt you to select an existing view to use as the starting point of the isometric view.
When working with assembly files, moving components around in space, there may come a time when you want to reset a component to its absolute starting point; the position where it would appear when adding it with the "absolute position" option. There are various work-arounds in NX to get a component back to its absolute position, but out-of-the-box there is no one click solution - we'll have to make our own.
In the NXOpen API, the "part" object is among the most used and most useful to the programmer. The part object gives us access to dozens (hundreds?) of properties and collections of other objects that we can use to query and modify the part. Let's take a look at the NXOpen.Feature object and the {part}.Features collection.

LGC actions put workers' comp program at riskBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 16. 2013 11:53PM
CONCORD - The New Hampshire Local Government Center's Workers' Compensation Trust program has lost more than $17 million since its inception in 2000 and will collapse if the state Supreme Court does not overturn a State Department order that the money be returned to taxpayers.
Should the program collapse, thousands of public employees in more than 200 communities would go without workers' compensation coverage until those communities were able to secure new coverage, said Thomas Enright, chairman of the LGC board.
The workers' compensation program has continually operated in the red, with as much as $3.9 million in losses annually, and is afloat only because the LGC subsidized the program through its other programs, according to a review of LGC audits and independent reports. The subsidizing practice was deemed illegal in an August ruling by the State Department, though LGC has appealed that ruling to the state Supreme Court.
The workers' compensation program, which has no cash reserves and takes in slightly more than $7 million annually from member towns and cities, will not be able to comply with a State Department order issued in August to return $17.1 million to cities and towns by Dec. 1, Enright said Saturday.
"If that order continues in its present form, workers' compensation would have to close and possibly (its parent program, the Property and Liability Trust) would have to close," Enright said.
The workers' compensation program covers more than 25,000 public sector employees in the state against work lost because of injury, according to the LGC website. Enright said that, without LGC, the only option left for most communities would be LGC's competitor, Primex, which offers similar services to public sector employers.
"I think it would affect the price," he said. "My belief is competition delivers the best price."
He said the private marketplace is another possible option. But he said rates charged by private insurers to cover public sector employees, many of whom are in high-risk occupations such as police officers and firefighters, tend to be cost-prohibitive for communities.
"In the commercial market, it would be very expensive," he said.
Workers with current claims would still be covered, as the LGC is required by state law to provide the state Department of Labor with a security agreement backed either with cash or a bank loan to pay claims in the case of a program's default.
But last year, after New Hampshire State Department hearings that ultimately ruled the LGC could not continue to use its financially healthy programs to subsidize its workers' compensation program, the board agreed to prop up the program using cash reserves from the program's parent entity, the Property and Liability Trust.
The LGC's agreement amounts to $11,428,800, acting Labor Commissioner David Wihby confirmed. Enright said Saturday that he was "pretty sure" that LGC used cash reserves from the Property and Liability Trust as collateral for the security agreement.
The revelations are the latest in a series of blows to the organization, which was recently ordered by the state to return more than $50 million to the towns and cities, including the $17.1 million transferred to the workers' compensation program, it provides insurance programs for and whose executive director, Maura Carroll, was abruptly asked to resign this month.
"This money should have been returned to taxpayers, the rightful owners," said David Lang, president of the Professional Fire Fighters of New Hampshire, which waged a decade-long battle to force LGC to publicly disclose how it was spending money collected from its risk pool.
The surpluses
The LGC had claimed the surpluses helped keep rates steady for members, while the firefighters association, led by Lang, claimed the LGC should have returned the money to communities and instead was using it to fund the workers' compensation program and to purchase real estate.
The audits, which are available on the LGC's website, show that HealthTrust, the LGC program offering health insurance administration to towns and cities, has loaned more than $17 million to LGC's workers' compensation program and that the LGC board adopted a resolution on June 2, 2011, to repay the money.
"The purpose of the promissory note between the risk pools is to formally acknowledge the Board of Directors' intent to repay the portion of the 1 percent of employer contributions funded by HealthTrust that was used to support the development of the workers' compensation pool between 2004 and 2010," according to the audit.
That promissory note includes no repayment terms and charges no interest. It says the workers' compensation program will repay the money with "any excess funds in the workers' compensation pool after accounting for other liabilities, operating expenses and needed reserves."
However, "during the year ended December 31, 2011, the workers' compensation pool did not generate excess funds that would be available to make a payment on the promissory note," the audit said.
Can the money be repaid?
The Department of State ruling mandated that the money not only be repaid to HealthTrust, but also then be paid back to member towns and cities. According to the order, the workers' compensation program has until Dec. 1 to return all $17.1 million to towns and cities.
That amount is in addition to $33 million the state ordered repaid from HealthTrust cash reserves and $3 million repaid from the Property and Liability program.
The LGC has appealed the order to the state Supreme Court. New Hampshire Attorney General Michael Delaney wrote an objection to the LGC appeal.
"These monies could have been used by towns, cities, counties and school districts to retain or hire needed teachers, firefighters and police officers during a time of economic hardship," Delaney wrote. "The harm suffered by the LGC's members through overpayments to LGC has both been accumulating for years and is re-experienced in each budget cycle."
Other critics of LGC have maintained that the money also could have been used to reduce property tax rates in member communities.
But without some kind of "reasonable" payment structure, the workers' compensation program can't repay the money, Enright said.
"You have to ask yourself if that's good for the cities, towns and school districts," Enright said. "The potential consequence is something I don't think the public wants or the secretary of state wants."
The losses
Enright said the board expected that the workers' compensation program would lose money while it built a client base.
"If you set a competitive price, there's no way you can start it and run it at a profit or break even," he said. "We've been approaching solvency in the workers' compensation program, frankly at a faster rate than we anticipated."
However, the practice of subsidizing the program was harshly criticized in the form of an independent review of LGC practices done for the Bureau of Securities Regulation by Michael A. Coutu, an insurance expert based in Rye Beach. Coutu's 27-page report, available on the State Department's website, said that, because membership in the health insurance and workers' compensation pools are not identical, LGC was improperly taking money from one pool to fund another.
"From 2003 to 2010, WCT (Workers Compensation Trust) sustained net losses of $17,775,000 offset by the $18.3 million contributed by LGC," Coutu's report said. "Absent the contributions made by LGC to WCT to offset losses, the Workers Compensation Trust would have failed.
"It is unlikely that the majority of the members of the (HealthTrust) pool truly understand that a portion of their member contributions is being used to subsidize WCT losses and capital contributions to Real Estate," Coutu's report said.
The security agreement LGC obtained for the Labor Department appears to be more of the same.
According to the LGC audit, memberships in the property and liability pool and workers' compensation pool are not identical either, meaning members of the property and liability pool are subsidizing a program benefiting other members of in the workers' compensation pool.
Enright, though, said that because the property and liability program and workers' compensation program are both employer-based programs as opposed to the "employee-based" health care programs such as HealthTrust, the LGC believes the use of property and liability cash reserves to secure the workers' compensation security agreement is proper.

Saturday mail: Postal delivery must change
The U.S. Postal Service is a constitutional division of the federal government made to look like a for-profit corporation while forced to function like a government bureaucracy. No wonder it is losing billions.
On Wednesday the postmaster general announced that the service would end regular mail delivery on Saturday while maintaining package deliveries, which are profitable. Members of Congress, though, say he cannot do that because they did not authorize it. Constituents want Saturday mail, and they're going to get it, delivered to their rural post offices by unionized carriers with full pensions, no matter what!
The Postal Service says it can save $2 billion a year by ending Saturday delivery. Some dispute that figure, but clearly the service has to make serious cuts, and soon. In the last fiscal year, its operating loss was $15.9 billion. And that was in a presidential election year in which campaigns filled people's mailboxes with mass mailings.
The Postal Service might have ways to save more money, such as reducing its workforce, shutting more post offices and relocating others, and offering less generous benefits. But all of those come with built-in political opposition. Every move the service can make to save money will be resisted by some constituency. And that is why the service needs to be further separated from politics.
Mail delivery is a core federal function over which Congress rightly has oversight. How the Postal Service provides that service, though, has to change with the times. Congress has to let it.

Q: I have been reading your columns for years and have always thought about asking a question, but I have not until now. I remember you writing a column a few years ago about growing herbs indoors. While you did describe the basic requirements for most herbs, you did not go into the specific needs for individual herbs.
I am planning to grow some herbs indoors I have never grown before. The list includes tarragon, camomile and sage. Can you explain the individual needs of these plants?
A: Thank you for being such a faithful reader. Your question got me thinking and I looked up the old column. I think I need to address the individual needs for some of the herbs.
Tarragon: This plant likes to be grown in a sunny spot and prefers the soil to be well-drained. It does not need the soil to be high in nutrients, so a regular potting mix with added compost will work well.
Use two parts potting mix to one part compost. Make sure there are drainage holes in the container. Keep the soil moist, but not wet. Add to the soil a small amount of slow-release fertilizer pellets designed for pots.
Look for these in garden centres — the formula is usually 12-12-12 or 14-14-14. You can expect the tarragon to grow in the same container for one to three years.
Camomile: This herb likes to have as much light as possible. In Canadian winters with low light levels, you may need to supplement the light with an artificial source such as a Gro-Light. Regular potting mix with compost is the soil of choice. Add slow-release pellets at planting time.
This is another herb that prefers soil that's moist, but not wet. German camomile will wilt easily if not kept moist. A word of warning: Camomile will do quite well on the balcony in the summer in containers, but can struggle indoors.
Sage: This herb can be easily grown indoors as long as you can offer it direct sunlight for six hours/day.
With sage, as with any sun-loving herb, it is a good idea to rotate the pot occasionally as the plant will begin to lean toward the light if you do not.
All-purpose potting mix makes a great choice for sage and there is no need to add organic matter for this plant. You can add one part perlite or sharp sand to two parts potting mix to help the drainage. Sage will not tolerate having its feet wet, so allow the top of the soil to dry out. Make sure the pot has drainage holes as well. Wait for one year, then harvest as needed.
Basil: This plant likes a lot of sunlight — six to eight hours would be best. It also likes a high organic content in its soil, so use a pure compost and no potting mix. You can find bags of compost in most garden centres. Fertilizing is easy if you use slow-release fertilizer pellets. Harvest the top leaves first. The plant is a pick-and-come-again type. This means that it will produce more leaves from where you picked. You can freeze the leaves for later use or dry them. Keep basil moist, but never wet.
Parsley: An easy herb to grow and one that will tolerate some shade, but prefers full sun. The plant is a little fussy about the soil, so pure compost will work just fine. The added benefit of planting in compost is that it is excellent at holding moisture. The same cannot be said about potting mixes. Ensure the soil does not dry out between waterings. Again the rule of thumb is moist, but never wet. Fertilize with slow-release pellets and harvest as needed. This plant does not do well in its second year, so it is best to plant new each year.
Rosemary: Perhaps my favourite herb and another easy one to grow. Plant in all-purpose potting mix. Add coarse gravel to the bottom of the pot when planting to ensure that the drainage holes remain open. Rosemary hates having its feet wet as well. When watering, stick your finger into the soil up to the first knuckle. If the soil feels dry, it is time to water. The plant likes lots of sunlight, but will tolerate some shade. Rosemary does not need a lot of nutrients to be happy — something like a compost tea applied once a month will do nicely. When harvesting, just snip off a branch as needed.

Police say Somersworth man charged in toddler's smothering death lived with childBy JOHN QUINN and MICHAEL COUSINEAU
Union Leader News
June 15. 2013 6:03PM
SOMERSWORTH — A 2-year-old boy was smothered and a man he lived with charged in his death, authorities said Saturday.
Chief Medical Examiner Thomas Andrew determined the child, Noah York, died from smothering and ruled his death a homicide.
Jared Pope, 30, of Somersworth was arrested and charged with manslaughter for allegedly causing the child's death, according to the state Attorney General's Office. He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in the 7th Circuit District Court in Dover.
Geoffrey Ward, an attorney with the AG's Office, confirmed York and Pope lived in the same apartment at 231 High St. but declined to say whether they were related.
Ward said he couldn't comment on the circumstances leading up to the incident, how the child was smothered or why Pope was charged specifically with manslaughter.
Police, firefighters and emergency personnel responded at 5:48 p.m. Friday to 231 High St. after a 911 call — placed from Apt. 2, where the pair lived — reported a toddler was in distress.
"The child was in distress when the emergency personnel arrived," Ward said.
Ambulance crews transported York to Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover, where he was later pronounced dead.
Somersworth police referred all inquiries to the Attorney General's Office.

Natural gas fuels rising electric costs
By DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
PSNH ordered to drop $5 fee charged for switching electric providers
Public Service seeks rate hike; blames energy costs
- As the winter heating season approaches, the effect of rising natural gas prices will be felt on electric bills across the state.
The three regulated utilities - Public Service of New Hampshire, Unitil and Liberty - have requests for increases in their energy supply charges either pending before the Public Utilities Commission or already approved by the PUC.
Public Service of New Hampshire announced last week it would most likely seek an energy supply rate of 8.96 cents per kwh as of Jan. 1, up from the current 8.62 cents.
PSNH serves about 70 percent of the state and has lost more than 90,000 residential customers to competitive electricity suppliers since those suppliers began offering lower rates more than a year ago.
The other two regulated utilities, Unitil and Liberty, have been fairly immune to the loss of energy supply customers because their rates, not affected by power plant ownership, have been equal to or lower than rates offered by competitors. But that's about to change.
The Public Utilities Commission recently approved an energy service charge of 8.89 cents per kwh for Liberty Utilities and is considering a request for a .77 cents per kwh charge for Unitil.
Liberty, whose franchise territory includes western and southern areas of the state, serves about 6 percent of the retail customers in New Hampshire, while Unitil serves about 11 percent of the state's retail customers in both the Seacoast and Concord areas.
Between them, they account for about 100,000 residential customers who are likely to become targets of aggressive marketing by competitors who, until now, have focused on the PSNH franchise area, with its 425,000 residential customers.
"We are now actively soliciting customers in the Unitil and Liberty franchise areas," said Taff Tschamler, senior vice president for business development at North American Power, one of the most active competitive energy suppliers in the market. "We just started last month."
Competitors enter fray
North American is offering 7.59 cents per kwh on a 12-month guarantee, while ENH, another large competitive supplier, is offering 7.89 cents per kwh for the same period. There are 14 registered providers of competitive energy supply, all with varying terms and rates. The regulated utility continues to deliver the electricity, read the meters and manage the billing, no matter who supplies the power.
"Rates we are seeing upcoming for this winter certainly reflect the market conditions," Tom Frantz, director of the electric division for the PUC, said in testimony before a legislative oversight committee on Wednesday. He cited the rising price of natural gas, which fuels most power plants in the region, as a major factor.
Tschamler said competitive suppliers are also feeling the cost pressure, but operate with a different business model. For example, competitive suppliers can charge a fee if customers switch suppliers before the end of their contract term, whereas the energy supply customers of a regulated utility can come and go as they please.
"The wholesale prices are extremely high for January," he said. "We've had to sharpen our pencils. Our margins are very tight in the winter, but we feel it's worth doing that because the margins are better in the other parts of the year, and we want to build a competitive business."
Power plant costs
The energy charge from PSNH includes costs associated with its power plants, so customer migration is a concern among regulators.
As more customers leave PSNH, a shrinking customer base has to support those power plant expenses.
But Unitil and Liberty do not operate power plants and are allowed to charge customers only what they pay for their power on the wholesale market. They make their money exclusively on transmission and delivery.
"As far as energy suppliers go, we want our customers to be able to make the choice that's best for them," said Liberty spokesman John Shore. "We don't mark it up. So if they want to make the choice to go to a supplier that they choose, that's perfectly fine with us. We're not thrilled about the rates going up either, but there's not really much we can do about that."
That sentiment was echoed by Alec O'Meara, spokesman for Unitil. "We have in the past said that third-party choice is an option for our customers," he said. "If they can get a better rate, we have encouraged them to do so."
The exception to the trend is the New Hampshire Electric Co-op. Its rates are set by a board of directors and not regulated by the PUC. The co-op is now charging 7.11 cents per kwh and will lower the rate to 6.77 as of Nov. 1 for its 60,000 customers in the central part of the state, according to spokesman Seth Wheeler.
A new service designed to help consumers compare and choose from the myriad electric supply options, ShopEnergyPlans.com, went live on Thursday.

Monarchs miss a chanceBy ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 06. 2013 1:43AM
There goes one Cup.
The Portland Pirates held off the Monarchs, 4-2, in front of 4,916 at Verizon Wireless Arena on Friday night to capture the inaugural VIP Cup awarded to the winner of the season series between the two teams.
The Monarchs won the first two games between the teams this year, but ended up losing the series, seven games to five.
The bigger problem on Friday was that the Monarchs, sitting outside the playoffs at this point, lost a chance to pick up ground in the playoff race.
"We had every opportunity to win that game," said Monarchs coach Mark Morris. "Our defensive lapses were at inopportune times. We left two guys unattended at the post on two occasions."
The Monarchs fell to 31-30-7 (69 points) for the season. They are in 11th place - six points and three spots out of the eighth and final playoff spot held by Hershey.
"It's typical of a lot of losses we've had this season that were winnable games," Morris said.
The Monarchs will try again against Providence tonight at the Verizon. Providence clinched a playoff spot by beating Albany, 4-1, on Friday night.
The Monarchs visit Worcester on Sunday at 3 p.m.
Mike Lee made 24 saves for the win. Martin Jones stopped 22 shots for the Monarchs.
Down 2-1 entering the third period, the Monarchs tied the game on a Jordan Weal goal seconds after Portland killed off a Manchester power play. Brandon Kozun held the puck and drew attention his way and fed Weal, who fired a shot under the crossbar.
The tie lasted less than three minutes.
Darian Dziurzynski gave the Pirates a 3-2 lead with assists to Jordan Szwarz and Justin Feser. Feser, playing his first professional game, created the scoring chance by racing down the right side and feeding Szwarz.
Phil Lane finished off the scoring with his second goal of the night, this one into an empty net, with 1:08 left.
Manchester forward Hunter Bishop came down the right side, cut in front and beat Lee with a shot along the ice for the only goal of the opening period at 9:49.
Brett Hextall scored early in the second period and Lane late to put Portland up 2-1 with 20 minutes to go.
Hextall converted a pass from behind the net from Darian Dziurzynski for his eighth of the season to tie it 1-1 at 3:02 of the period.
Lane collected a rebound in front of Jones and stickhandled to the left and put a backhander behind the goalie with 1:24 left in the period.

Let's be real. When you're bootstrapping your brand, you probably don't have buckets of money to pour into advertising. Even $50 a day can seem astronomical. Now's the perfect time to quote Benjamin Franklin, who famously said, "A penny saved is a penny earned." What if I told you that you could save a penny and earn an audience? Intrigued? Let's take those steps to building your audience organically.
Psst. We have a list of 25 ways to build your brand's audience organically. Check it out here .
…And Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Medium, Pinterest, Instagram, etc…
Social media is not just a platform for keeping up with your friends and favorite celebrities. It is an unavoidable part of brand development. No one wants to do business with cold, faceless brands. No one wants to read blogs without knowing your name. And no one wants to trust a brand without a social presence.
Think of the last time you saw a brand that didn't have at least one social profile. It was creepy, right? That's because not having a social presence makes the brand seem robotic, one dimensional, fly-by-night, scammy, or inactive– maybe all of the above. All of these perceptions will actively repel an audience.
You need a social presence to show your current and future audience that your brand is human. Here's some more great reasons you should be on social media:
Social media allows you to give your brand a personality and tone. While you can and should do this with your blog also (more on this topic later), social media provides a great opportunity to define your brand persona. For example, an interior designer may want to pin photos on Pinterest that showcase his or her design aesthetic.
With a social presence, you can speak directly to your audience. They post a question, you answer, and vice versa. Instead of hoping that your audience remembers to visit your blog (which can be a hit or miss), you can provide content that your audience cares about directly on their feed. With your relevant social updates, you give a powerful incentive for them to follow you back to your blog.
Do you offer a product or service that needs to be explained? Perhaps there are different ways to use your offerings, and you want to illuminate them to your audience. For example, you can share explainer videos on YouTube that show how to use your product. Alternately, you can use these videos to discuss topics related to brand message, like Moz does with their
Detour Mens AmsterdamDark Wine Full Grain LeatherUS 105 M F8rrA04fQ
Whether for education or entertainment purposes, your goal with social media should always be to provide highly relevant and useful information for your audience. That's the way you gain trust as an authentic brand persona and authority as an industry expert. For example, you can host a monthly "Ask Me Anything" hour on Google Hangouts.
While Clubhouse was built with a Kanban flow in mind, we understand that many software development teams work in time-boxed iterations. In order to support that iterative flow, we've added iteration support throughout the tool. In this short post, we'll walk you through how you can plan, track, and review your iterations in Clubhouse.
Setting Up Your Clubhouse For Iterations
Some teams work in one week iterations that start on Tuesdays, others work in two week iteration that start Monday morning. In order to work most effectively with iterations, you need to to set Clubhouse to correspond to how your team works. You can do this by going to going to Settings > Report Settings and adding the start date of your first iteration and the length of your team's iterations.
If your team is working with Estimation Points, you can follow
Florsheim Mens Navigator Chukka Boot Brown Nubuck XKEw6Gp
to set/edit your Estimate Scale and indicate that you want all your reporting to be reflected in points rather than Story Count (number of Stories).
Planning Your Iteration in Clubhouse
Iterations typically include a group of Stories that your team is committed to completing. To commit some Stories to an iteration, we recommend that you select all the Stories that you wish to include in this iteration and use the Edit Multiple feature to label them.
Once labelled, you can create a shared workspace against that Label.
Tracking Your Iteration in Clubhouse
While you and your team are working through your current iteration, you may need to peek in and see how Stories are progressing either to begin thinking about the next iteration or to share status with an outside stakeholder. You can track progress against your iteration in many different ways.
To see where all the committed Stories sit in the Workflow, you can click on the shared workspace on the Stories page.
You can also see progress on the iteration's Label page.
There you can review:
You can access the iteration's Label page by going to the Labels button on the main platform sidebar menu and clicking on the Label name or by clicking on the context menu on the Label in any associated Story).
Once there, you can click the Stories tab to see the Table or Velocity View. To access the burndown, you can click or scroll down to the Reports tab. Hovering over chart will show you the Actual and Suggested number of completed Stories or Story Points you need in order to meet your goal of completing all committed Stories by the end of the iteration period.
Reviewing Completed Iterations
Many teams like to do retrospectives after an iteration and review past performance before setting their next iteration. You can review how your team performed and what they actually completed during the iteration period, by going to the Reports page and selecting your iteration period.
Once there, you can also filter against your iteration Label to get a sense of what was completed during this iteration period. Clicking the left and right arrows in the menu will move you back and forth between past iterations.
To move outstanding Stories to the next iteration, just go to your iteration's workspace, select all the incomplete Stories and follow the planning steps above.
Does your team work in iterations? What is most helpful for you when you are planning one? When you are in one? Let us know! Oh, and if you are on a team looking for a new tool,

Merrimack day-care teacher charged in assault on toddlerBy PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 14. 2013 9:44AM
MERRIMACK – A day care teacher at The Learning Experience is accused of assaulting a 2-year-old child in her care.
Sharon P. Quigley, 51, of 17 Ponemah Hill Road, Milford, was charged Friday with simple assault. Police said a complaint was filed Oct. 3.
She is accused of assaulting a 2-year-old girl enrolled at the Route 101-A day care center.
Detective Scott Park said Quigley is accused of grabbing the toddler around the waist causing a minor injury. She was seen by medical personnel who noted the bruising, he said.
Deborah O'Byrne, vice president of operations at The Learning Experience's corporate headquarters in Boca Raton, Fla., said Quigley was removed from her classroom and immediately terminated after the alleged incident, which she said happened on Oct. 4 at 4:25 p.m.
She would not comment on the allegation, but said the center cooperated with the police investigation which is ongoing.
"We have given them access to anything they want," she said. "It's been completely transparent."
She said the center hired Quigley after background screening and followed all state rules and regulations in employing her.
What's next:Quigley is free on $1,500 personal recognizance bail pending a Nov. 12 arraignment in 9th Circuit Court, Merrimack District Division.
