Critics want to sink warship to be named for ManchesterBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 12. 2013 1:01AM
MANCHESTER - A Naval ship that has been criticized as inadequate by a top Navy commander will be christened after the city of Manchester.
The USS Manchester will be a Littoral Combat Ship, which according to the Navy is: "a fast, agile, focused-mission platform designed for operation in near-shore environments yet capable of open-ocean operation. It is designed to defeat asymmetric anti-access threats such as mines, quiet diesel submarines and fast surface craft."
However, in a report in Bloomberg News late last month, the ship was criticized in a classified memo by Vice Admiral Tom Copeman, who called on the Navy to consider changes that would make the ship more capable offensively. Two types of the ship, one steel-hulled and an aluminum trimaran version, are being built. It wasn't clear Thursday night whether the USS Manchester would be steel-hulled or aluminum.
In January, J. Michael Gilmore, the Defense Department's director of operational test and evaluation, released a report that, in part, said the ship "is not expected to be survivable in a hostile combat environment."
The Bloomberg News report said critics inside the Navy have called the ship the "Little Crappy Ship."
A report prepared earlier this month by Ronald O'Rourke, specialist in Naval Affairs for the Congressional Research Service, said that the ship's cost had swelled from an original estimate of $220 million per ship to $537 million or more than $653 million per ship, depending on the type built.
U.S. Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire each issued press releases on Thursday applauding the announcement that one of the ships would be named after the Queen City. Each said U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus personally called them to inform them of the naming.
Their offices released a joint statement saying: "It is a tremendous honor for a ship to be named after Manchester. The LCS has had challenges worth congressional attention, and we will certainly continue to provide it, but that doesn't take away from the fact that this is a great tribute."

2012: Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney, 1964-2012By JASON SCHREIBER

GREENLAND -- Michael Maloney wasn't one to sit at his desk. "Behind the desk was probably his least favorite place," recalled friend and colleague Carole Smith, secretary at the Greenland Police Department. So when officers with the Attorney General's Drug Task Force decided to serve a warrant at the home of suspected drug dealer Cullen Mutrie on the night of April 12, no one was surprised to see Greenland's police chief step forward to help. And when the raid went south and officers went down in a hail of gunfire, no one was surprised that Maloney was in the thick of things. After racing to the front porch and dragging one of the four wounded officers to safety, Maloney returned to his cruiser and took cover. He would have helped others, but he didn't have the chance. From a basement window, Mutrie fired at Maloney when he poked his head up over the hood. It was a fatal shot that will forever haunt this small town, where Maloney was known as a dedicated chief who always answered the call. A longtime community servant, Maloney, 48, lost his life in performance of that service, and for that, the fallen chief has been named this year's Union Leader and Sunday News New Hampshire Citizen of the Year. "Speculation about the protocols followed or not followed on that last call we will leave to others for another time. Today, we choose to honor Chief Maloney as the Union Leader and Sunday News New Hampshire Citizen of the Year for his lifetime of service to his profession and community and his selfless actions under fire on that final day," said Joseph W. McQuaid, president and Publisher of the Union Leader and Sunday News. The recognition comes six years after the newspapers collectively honored "the New Hampshire police officer'' - more than 4,000 in all - as New Hampshire Citizen of the Year for 2006. "A Manchester officer, Michael Briggs, had been gunned down that October, answering one final call before his nighttime shift was to end. We said at the time that Briggs' murder 'served to dramatically and tragically underscore the sometimes perilous work that we ask of our front-line policemen and women in the big cities and small towns of our state day in and night out throughout the year,'" McQuaid said. After Briggs' death, former Epping Police Chief Gregory Dodge noted that, "Any officer going on the street doesn't know what he's going to experience on his shift." "It is eerie that, like Officer Briggs, Chief Maloney lost his life on a last call to duty," McQuaid said. Maloney's death came eight days before he was to retire, ending a 26-year career in law enforcement that began when he was a part-time officer in Rye and North Hampton. He was later hired full time in North Hampton - where he lived for many years - and climbed the ranks to chief there before becoming Greenland's chief in 2000. Friends and family described Maloney as a humble man who never bragged about his work or looked for a pat on the back after a job well done. "He thought of himself as just a regular Joe Shmoe. He wasn't doing anything different. He was doing his job," said his widow, Peg. She said the Citizen of the Year award is a "wonderful honor" to her late husband, who never would have wanted all of the attention. "Michael would be totally shocked," she said. Greenland police Sgt. Dawn Sawyer met Maloney when he hired her for the North Hampton Police Department in 1993 while he was a sergeant there. She moved over to the Greenland Police Department in 1995 and was joined by Maloney five years later. "We had just a really, really tight group," she said. It seemed he always had his officers on his mind. If his wife was working on a Friday night, Maloney would jump in the cruiser and head to the police department. "If you were his friend, he always had your back. That's why he was there eight days from retirement. He would never ask someone to do something that he wasn't willing to do himself," Sawyer said. Greenland Town Administrator Karen Anderson knew Maloney for eight years and was always impressed by his communication skills. He would meet with her every morning when he stopped by the town offices to pick up the mail. The two would chat for 10 minutes or so about what was happening with his department and what he had planned for the day. "We both knew what was going on, and that was always very helpful. I think it really showed that he was the chief of the police department, but he understood the role of the police department for the whole town. We all worked for the very same people and didn't segregate police from fire and police from the town," Anderson said. Eight months after Chief Maloney's death, Anderson is now at a point where she can joke about things like the swear cup. All inappropriate words cost a quarter, which would be dropped into a D.A.R.E cup. Anything that started with the letter "F" cost a buck. At Christmastime, the money would be used to offset the cost of a town office luncheon. "Historically, it would be funded primarily through Chief Maloney," she said, laughing. "It was always the running joke at the Christmas luncheon. Mike would say, 'What did I buy this year?'?" The cup would usually have about $50 in it by the end of the year; this year, there was only $11. Smith, the police secretary hired by Maloney 11 years ago, described him as a "great boss" and a "great chief." He was there to back up his officers, and he was there to share time with them on the golf course when they were off duty. "He was always about in town, out on patrol. Being chief never went to his head," Smith said. Maloney handled any call that came his way. The town has no animal control officer, so the calls went to the officer on duty. More often than not, Maloney would take the calls for the skunks caught in the swimming pool filter or the litter of baby foxes living under a porch. Maloney was also a big family man who never passed up an opportunity to show off his grandson, Michael Jacob, known to most as MJ, at the police department. The chief had a considerable presence at Greenland Central School, where he would often drop by to walk the halls and talk with faculty and students alike. The staff knew him. The kids knew him. And everyone at the local variety store, Suds N Soda, knew him, too. That's where he went for his morning coffee. If residents wanted to see him, they always knew they'd probably find him there. He made people feel comfortable, friends and colleagues said. He was often seen around town wearing his Hawaiian shirts and shorts, even to budget meetings. A devoted New England Patriots fan, Maloney was also proud to wear his Vince Wilfork jersey during football season. The defensive tackle offered his condolences to the Maloney family after the shooting, and the jersey was hung on the door of the funeral home for the service. Hours after Maloney's death, Tara Laurent, who was supposed to be his replacement when he retired, was thrown into the job. She was called to the clerk's office, the blinds were pulled, and she was quietly sworn in as the new chief just as news began spreading that Maloney had died. Laurent never worked with Maloney, but she's well aware of his legacy and the shoes she has to fill. "It's always a great shadow to live in. It's always wonderful to be associated with someone who was that great at what he did," she said. Laurent was named chief under the worst of circumstances, but she kept the department running even as her officers mourned. "Getting back to business is what Chief Maloney would have wanted us to do," she said. Calling him a hero, Attorney General Michael Delaney has also praised Maloney for his actions many times. "We will never forget the courage and bravery shown by Chief Maloney and our law enforcement officers undercover on that day," Delaney said at a recent news conference. Greenland Selectman John Penacho said Maloney was always professional and courteous and never intimidating. "I always felt he was a compassionate person, and he always looked out for the best interests of the town," he said, "and he did that until the end."

Time of Poss.
HUNTINGDON, Pa. – After a 56-yard, eight-play touchdown drive tied the game 7-7 in favor of Thiel at the start of the second half, Juniata scored four unanswered touchdowns en route to a 41-20 victory at Knox Stadium on Saturday. Josh Wannamaker (Derry, Pa./Derry) rushed for a touchdown and 40 yards on 11 carries for the Tomcats while Ryan Radke (Lancaster, N.Y./Lancaster Central) threw for two touchdowns and 151 yards on 8-of-14 passing.
Juniata (1-0) opened the game's scoring as Eagles running back Michael John ran up the middle 21 yards for the score with 1:56 left in the first quarter.
The Tomcats returned the favor with 13:07 left in the second quarter as Wannamaker, a freshman, found daylight and scampered into the end zone to tie the game 7-7. It was the first rushing touchdown of Wannamaker's young collegiate career.
With just 50 seconds left in the second quarter the Eagles lined up for what would have been a 27-yard field goal. The snap from center was off, and the Eagles holder, which happened to be starting quarterback Ward Udinski, calmly scooped up the ball, rolled left and found Ethan Cree alone in the end zone for a 10-yard touchdown. After the Juniata extra point attempt was no good, the score at the end of the half stood 13-7 in favor of Juniata.
The Eagles found the end zone on each of their next four drives to start the second half, outscoring the Tomcats 28-13 in the second half to earn the win.
In the fourth quarter, sophomore quarterback Ryan Radke (Lancaster, N.Y./Lancaster Central) entered the game for starter Andrew Smith (Williamsfield, Ohio/Pymatuning Valley). Radke made the most of his opportunity, engineering scoring drives on the Tomcats' final two series to close out the contest.
Radke found senior Matt Fedzen (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Catholic) with a pass for a 58-yard touchdown, and later threw an 18-yard strike to Ron Howard (Sharon, Pa./Sharon)for the third Tomcat touchdown of the afternoon.
Senior linebacker R.J. Malson recorded nine tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss to lead the Tomcat defense.
The Tomcats will play their 2013 home opener on Sept. 14, when they take on the University of Rochester. Kickoff is set for 1:30 p.m.

Pap test
A Pap test, or Papanicolaou test, is a procedure that removes a small sample of cells from the cervix. Cells are looked at under a microscope to see if they are normal or abnormal.
Why a Pap test is done
A Pap test is mainly used to:
- screen for and help diagnose precancerous conditions of the cervix and cervical cancer
- help diagnose precancerous conditions of the vagina and vaginal cancer
- diagnose infection and inflammation in the lower female reproductive tract
Pap tests are also done to follow up after an abnormal Pap test or to monitor precancerous conditions. They are used to check for abnormal cell changes or to see if cancer comes back (recurs) after treatment.
Find out more about cervical cancer screening.
How to prepare for a Pap test
Try to avoid having a Pap test during menstruation, or when you have your period. For best results, the test should be done in the middle of your cycle, 10–20 days after the first day of your menstrual period. Talk to your doctor or nurse if your appointment falls during your period. If your period is light, it may be possible to do the Pap test.
Avoid having sexual intercourse for 24 hours before the test. Do not use a vaginal douche, vaginal medicines, tampons or contraceptive (spermicidal) creams, foams or gels (except as directed by your doctor) for 48 hours before the test. These products can wash away or hide abnormal cells.
Avoid having the test during treatment for any cervical or vaginal infection. Wait 2 weeks after treatment has ended.
Try to empty your bladder right before the Pap test. A full bladder may make having the test uncomfortable.
How a Pap test is done
A Pap test may be done as part of a checkup or during a pelvic, or gynecologic, exam. A pelvic exam is done to make sure the pelvic organs are normal and to check for infections. Find out more about pelvic exam.
A Pap test is usually done in a doctor's or nurse's office or in a clinic. It only takes a few minutes to do a Pap test. There may be some discomfort, pressure or cramping during the procedure, but it is not usually painful.
To do a Pap test, the doctor or nurse gently places a speculum into the vagina. A speculum is a clear plastic or metal device. It separates the walls of the vagina so the doctor can see the upper part of the vagina and cervix.
The doctor or nurse uses a small stick, or spatula, to gently scrape the surface of the cervix to pick up cells. In some cases, a special brush (called a cytobrush or cytobroom) is used to collect cells from the inner part of the cervix, which leads into the uterus. Samples of tissues from the vagina can also be taken during a Pap test.
After collecting the cells, the doctor or nurse smears them onto a glass slide or places them in a container filled with a special liquid (called a liquid-based Pap test). The liquid containing the sample of cells may also be used to test for HPV. If the cells are smeared onto a glass slide, they are treated with a special solution called a fixative. The fixative preserves the appearance of the cells. The sample is sent to a lab to be processed so it can then be examined under a microscope.
You may have some light vaginal bleeding for 1–2 days after a Pap test. It may take 2–8 weeks for a Pap test result to come back from the lab.
What the results mean
Sometimes the sample is not good enough to give a clear result. This can happen if there is too much blood, not enough cells or the fixative did not preserve the cells well. Your doctor or nurse will let you know if the test has to be repeated.
When there is a good sample, labs in Canada use the Bethesda system to report Pap test results. In this system, a Pap test result may be described as normal (also called negative) or abnormal.
A normal, or negative, result means that there were enough cells in the sample and no abnormal or cancerous cells were found. A normal Pap test report may also note if non-cancerous, or benign, conditions are present, such as common infections or inflammation.
Abnormal cells in the cervix or vagina may be classified based on how different they look from normal cells. How abnormal they are may be described as mild to severe. Abnormal cells in the cervix are also described using the Bethesda reporting system, which gives information about the type of cell change found.
Abnormal results don't necessarily mean there is a precancerous condition or cancer. Some abnormal cells return to normal on their own. Other abnormal cells or precancerous changes in the cervix or vagina may develop into cancer over time if they aren't treated. This includes:
- squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)
- adenocarcinoma
- other types of cancer
Find out more about abnormal Pap test results and human papillomavirus (HPV).
What happens if the result is abnormal
If the result of a Pap test is abnormal, your doctor will decide if you need to have follow-up tests, treatment or both. Some changes or abnormalities may need to be treated, depending on how severe they are.
Follow-up options include another Pap test or a colposcopy (a procedure that uses a lighted magnifying instrument, called a colposcope, to examine the vulva, vagina and cervix).
Risks with a Pap test
Screening tests, including the Pap test, have a risk of giving misleading results.
A false-negative result means that the test doesn't find cancer or abnormal cells even though they are present. This may occur if the sample doesn't have enough tissue or cells. It can also happen when abnormal cells in the sample are missed.
A false-positive result means that the test shows abnormal cells even though they are not present. This means that something looked like a precancerous condition, but it actually isn't. A false-positive result may lead to unnecessary follow-up tests, procedures and anxiety.
The body's protective response to injury or infection that includes redness, swelling, pain and warmth of the affected area.

Coffee is part of a daily routine for many but one size doesn't fit all. If you have less time in the morning or just prefer a hands-free approach, you may depend on the convenience of an automatic coffee maker. But going automatic doesn't mean you have to give up on taste. The key is picking the right machine. When we started carrying Bonavita brewers years ago, they were one of only two brewers certified by SCAA for proper temperature and brew time. While other companies have since stepped up their game to meet SCAA's Gold Cup recommendations, Bonavita is still a leader in providing quality drip coffee brewers for the home.

Haiti PM highlights headway 4 years after quake
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Haiti's prime minister said Friday that his government has made headway in rebuilding the country following a devastating earthquake four years ago, citing a drop in the number of people living in settlements camps and the construction of thousands of new houses.
With senior officials at his side, Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe delivered a progress report on the eve of the fourth anniversary of the 2010 quake.
"I think (the rebuilding effort) has gone very well, enormously well, considering the enormous challenges and the enormous lack of resources that we had when we started," Lamothe told The Associated Press following his talk.
In the presentation, Lamothe highlighted the construction of more than 5,000 homes, the arrival of more than 700,000 tourists last year, the distribution of 55,000 seed kits to farmers and economic growth.
One of the most criticized aspects of Haiti's recovery effort has been providing housing for people displaced by the quake. Some 1.5 million people moved into makeshift settlements after the disaster.
But from its peak, the number of people living in the gloomy encampments has fallen to 146,000 at 271 sites, the International Organization for Migration said. The drop stems from a mix of voluntary departures, distribution of rental subsidies and violent evictions.
Lamothe lauded that drop on Friday.
Housing activists complain that the decline doesn't reflect an increase in housing availability — a problem conceded by the prime minister.
"We have to do more in fixing the difficult housing problems in order to have a long-term housing solution," he said.
Foreign governments and humanitarian groups rushed to offer billions of dollars in reconstruction aid after the quake. But the money hasn't flowed in as promised, partly because of worries about Haiti's political infighting and corruption as well as the reluctance of donors to provide funds amid a global economic downturn.
Looking ahead to further reconstruction, Lamothe said his government has drafted legislation to require non-government groups to register and report their spending plans as a way to avoid duplication with other groups. An estimated 10,000 such groups are working in Haiti but no one really knows how many are here.
"We want to work with the NGOs, but we want the NGOs to work on the priorities of the Haitian government as expressed by the strategic national development plan," Lamothe said.

In May 2010 we posted a report on (Democratic) Michigan Supreme Court Justice Diane Hathaway under the heading "Tall tale for a short sale." With the assistance of reader and Philadelphia attorney Martin Karo, who provided an account better than any to be found in the press either now or then, we noted that Hathaway had "screwed her bank and the taxpayers who bailed it out."
We quoted Steve Fishman, an attorney for Justice Hathaway and husband Michael Kingsley. Fishman denied any illegality in the transactions: "These were personal matters that involved persons close to her, and she is not going to discuss personal matters in the press. I'm satisfied there was nothing underhanded." Not exactly a ringing declaration of innocence.
Now comes word that federal prosecutors have filed a fraud charge against Hathaway just a few days before she leaves the court amid the scandal. The charge appears to be the predicate of a forthcoming guilty plea. Fishman has clammed up. On Saturday he declined to comment.
One has to read to the end of the AP story on the fraud charge to find the implication — the story never directly states — that Hathaway is a Democrat. In Journalism 101, reporters are taught to reserve the less important details for the bottom of the story.

No. 13 K-State beats Baylor on McGruder 3
WACO, Texas (AP) — Rodney McGruder was surprised that Kansas State was even getting the chance at another shot in regulation.
It was quick, and it worked.
McGruder made a 3-pointer at the buzzer for a 64-61 victory Saturday night that kept the 13th-ranked Wildcats in a tie for the Big 12 lead.
They unexpectedly got the ball back with a second remaining following Baylor's failed desperation inbound pass.
"I was thinking of something different. But that goes for being fortunate," McGruder said of a game that seemed headed for overtime. "It worked out in our favor. That's all I can say."
Kansas State (24-5, 13-3 Big 12) had already missed one potential tiebreaking shot when Shane Southwell missed badly on a shot that went out of bounds with 1 second left.
Instead of settling for overtime, the Bears (17-12, 8-8) brought seldom-used Jacob Neubert off the bench to try a length-of-the-court inbound pass.
But Neubert's baseball-style pass went out of bounds without being touched. So the Wildcats got the ball under their own basket without any time running off the clock.
The Wildcats called timeout and set up the play. Angel Rodriguez inbounded the ball to McGruder, who worked around defenders to get open on the right wing a couple of feet beyond the 3-point line. He swished the shot.
"We didn't do a very good job on the possession before that. We really didn't get a good look," Wildcats coach Bruce Weber. "(Southwell) was probably our last option on that one and I probably should have called timeout. … We didn't have a quick hitter on shot clocks and we just call in `quick.' The kids said, `Let's run it.' We've run it once this year. Rodney read it perfectly. Great pass by Angel."
McGruder finished with 18 points for the Wildcats, who won their fifth straight game and ninth in 10 to maintain a share of the Big 12 lead with sixth-ranked Kansas with two regular season games left. The Jayhawks got their 13th league victory earlier Saturday, 91-65 over West Virginia.
Pierre Jackson had 18 points and seven assists for Baylor, which has lost seven of its past 10 games.
"I don't remember losing on a buzzer-beater — ever. So I don't know how to react to it," Jackson said.
Cory Jefferson had 14 points while Isaiah Austin, the Bears' 7-foot-1 freshman standout, had 11 points and 12 rebounds for his 10th double-double this season.
"It was a great game and a terrible ending for the Baylor Bears," coach Scott Drew said. "With one second, it's hard not to try to win the game. Jacob has done a great job of making that pass. Isaiah has come down with it, Cory has come down with it, Quincy Acy has come down with it. So it would be tough not to try it from underneath out of bounds. … The plan was for (Isaiah) to catch it and lay it in, and we storm the court."
The celebration instead belonged to the Wildcats, who mobbed McGruder at midcourt.
The Bears have a quick turnaround, with a game Monday night at Texas. They close the regular season at home next Saturday against Kansas.
Baylor had its first lead in the second half when Jefferson got a bounce pass from Brady Heslip and made a layup while being fouled by Southwell with 3:58 left. After the media timeout that immediately followed, Jefferson made the free throw to put the Bears up 56-54.
Southwell then had a shot blocked by Austin, but the ball went out of bounds, and Rodriguez hit a 3-pointer to put the Wildcats back ahead. Jackson missed a layup that was grabbed by Jordan Henriquez, who had a dunk at the other end with 2:48 left for a 59-56 lead.
Rodriguez had a bad pass that Jackson came up with, before driving, being fouled and making the second free throw. Jackson had another chance after a miss by Rodriguez, driving all the way and being fouled McGruder. Those two free throws tied the game at 59 with 1:23 left.
McGruder made a jumper with 1:03 left, but Jackson was fouled again by McGruder on a drive and again made both free throws with 35 seconds left.
Kansas State brought the ball up the court and made a few passes before Weber called timeout with 7.7 seconds left. But Southwell missed.
The Wildcats have regular-season games left at home against TCU and at Oklahoma State. They are 9-0 against teams from Texas, including a 20-point win at home over Baylor two weeks earlier.
Down 34-33 at the half, Kansas State opened the second half with a quick 7-0 spurt. Southwell had a jumper and McGruder made a floater before a three-point play when he made a dunk while being fouled and added the free throw. The Wildcats then led until Jefferson's three-point play.
Baylor wore its special neon yellow uniforms unveiled earlier this week by Adidas, including camouflage-patterned shorts in the same bright color. The Bears were one of six teams to get special uniforms for anticipated tournament appearances.
On top of that Saturday, Baylor gave out 10,000 T-shirts to the fans in the highlighter color, brightening up the Ferrell Center.
Until the gloomy finish.

The Marketing Plan is a highly detailed, heavily researched and, hopefully, well written report that many inside and possibly outside the organization will evaluate. In many respects, the Marketing Plan is the most important document produced by marketers as it not only helps to justify what has occurred in the past, but is critical for explaining where a company intends to go in the future.
The Marketing Plan is widely used by both large large corporate marketing departments and also by small startup companies. It is particularly important for marketers who seek funding for new projects or to expand existing products or services.
Essentially the Marketing Plan:
- forces the marketing personnel to look internally in order to fully understand the results of past marketing decisions.
- forces the marketing personnel to look externally in order to fully understand the market in which they operate.
- sets future goals and provides direction for future marketing efforts that everyone within the organization should understand and support.
- is a key component in obtaining funding to pursue new initiatives.
The Marketing Plan is generally undertaken for one of the following reasons:
- Needed as part of the yearly planning process within the marketing functional area.
- Needed for a specialized strategy to introduce something new, such as new product planning, entering new markets, or trying a new strategy to fix an existing problem.
- Is a component within an overall business plan, such as a new business proposal to the financial community.
There are many ways to develop and format a marketing plan. The approach taken here is to present a 6-Part plan that includes:
- Purpose and Mission
- Situational Analysis
- Marketing Strategy and Objectives
- Tactical Programs
- Budgets, Performance Analysis and Implementation
- Additional Consideration
This plan is aimed at individual products and product lines, however, it can be adapted fairly easily for use in planning one or more strategic business units (SBU). The page length suggested for each section represents a single-spaced typed format for a plan focused on a single product. Obviously for multi-product plans lengths will be somewhat longer.
It is assumed that anyone developing a Marketing Plan possesses a working understanding of marketing principles. If you do not, it is suggested you spend considerable time learning about basic marketing through the previous sections of the Principles of Marketing Tutorials.
Note, throughout the plan the word "product" is used. However, the information presented in the Marketing Plan tutorials applies to both products and services.

Trump pushes arming teachersBy JOHN WAGNER and JENNA JOHNSON
The Washington Post
February 22. 2018 8:47PM
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday doubled down on his idea of arming some teachers as a deterrent for school shootings and praised the top leadership of the National Rifle Association as "Great American Patriots."
In morning tweets and later at the White House, Trump claimed the strategy of arming teachers would be far less costly than hiring guards. He said "gun-free" school zones make it like "going in for ice cream" for school shooters and said on Twitter that with his strategy, "ATTACKS WOULD END!"
His remarks amplified a strategy Trump pushed during a first "listening session" Wednesday at the White House, which included relatives of some of the 17 people killed by a gunman last week at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in South Florida. Thursday's session included law enforcement officers and other officials.
"Highly trained, gun adept, teachers/coaches would solve the problem instantly, before police arrive," Trump said in one morning tweet.
During the "listening session" a couple of hours later, Trump said he wants "my schools protected just like I want my banks protected."
The strategy of arming teachers has many critics, including some law enforcement officers and the National Education Association, the country's largest teachers lobby. In a statement Wednesday, NEA president Lily Eskelsen García said, "Educators need to be focused on teaching our students."
In his tweets, Trump claimed his strategy had been mischaracterized by some news outlets and is more nuanced than reported. He said he envisioned only about 20 percent of teachers having concealed weapons and said they would have "military or special training experience."
"If a potential 'sicko shooter' knows that a school has a large number of very weapons talented teachers (and others) who will be instantly shooting, the sicko will NEVER attack that school," Trump said. "Cowards won't go there ... problem solved. Must be offensive, defense alone won't work!"
Some criminologists have questioned that reasoning, pointing out that some people who plan to commit mass shootings are prepared to die in the process.
In a later tweet, Trump praised NRA chief executive Wayne LaPierre and executive director Chris Cox, whose organization has advocated not overreacting to last week's shooting.
"What many people don't understand, or don't want to understand, is that Wayne, Chris and the folks who work so hard at the @NRA are Great People and Great American Patriots," Trump wrote. "They love our Country and will do the right thing."
"MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump added.
In the aftermath of the shooting, Trump has publicly and privately floated actions that would be at odds with the positions of the NRA, one of his biggest supporters in the 2016 campaign.
In a separate tweet Thursday, Trump appeared to highlight one of those conflicts: raising the age for purchasing assault rifles from 18 to 21.
"I will be strongly pushing Comprehensive Background Checks with an emphasis on Mental Health. Raise age to 21 and end sale of Bump Stocks!" Trump said in the tweet. "Congress is in a mood to finally do something on this issue — I hope!"
In a statement this week, NRA spokeswoman Jennifer Baker noted that federal law prohibits anyone younger than 21 from purchasing a handgun from a licensed firearms dealer.
"Legislative proposals that prevent law-abiding adults aged 18-20 years old from acquiring rifles and shotguns effectively prohibits them for purchasing any firearm, thus depriving them of their constitutional right to self-protection," Baker said.
Trump said during Friday's listening session that he thought the NRA would support raising the age to 21.
"I don't think I'll be going up against them. ... They're good people," said Trump, who also praised the organization more broadly. "The NRA is ready to do things. People like to blame them."

The State of Working North Carolina 2011: Support NC Workers, Strengthen the Economy, Share Prosperity
By Alexandra Forter Sirota
BTC Director
August 2011
North Carolina's workers produce, earn and spend in the state's economy, and their well-being is requisite for a strong economic recovery. However, as North Carolina policymakers try to set the state on a path of economic growth, they often ignore the primary role workers play in a successful economy. More than 24 months after the official end of the Great Recession, North Carolina's working families continue to struggle with a lack of job opportunities, staggering loss of earnings and wealth, and the continued transformation of the state's economy. This transformation—which has coincided with stagnating wages, expanding income inequality and an over-reliance on low-wage industries to generate jobs for the state's growing working-age population—has been unfolding for decades. Now in the aftermath of the Great Recession, the acceleration of these longer-term trends has reduced the pathways to economic security available to North Carolina's families.
This 2011 State of Working North Carolina report describes the status of the state's workers with a particular focus on labor-market conditions, earnings and income and their connection to the sound function of the state's economy. By providing the latest data on working North Carolinians, this report seeks to inform and explain the context within which policymakers must act to rebuild economic opportunity and shared prosperity in the state.
The full State of Working North Carolina report is attached below. Other State of Working NC briefs are available at these links:

- The State of Working North Carolina: Still Unemployed After All These Years - Long-Term Unemployment and the Importance of the Unemployment Insurance System

The Porson Greek font is based on the handwriting of the 18th Century Greek scholar, Richard Porson. From what I have been able to gather, Porson transcribed a handwritten portion of Medea, which was the genesis of this font.
However, after many hours of web crawling, I have been unable to find any scans or images of Porson's actual handwriting, so I humbly turn to the Greek aficionados on this site in the hope that someone will have images or scans of Porson's handwritten transcriptions.
Thanks in advance!

The Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Canada -- one of the premiere repertory theater companies in the world -- is undergoing a name change by removing the "Shakespeare" from its title. The company, which will be known simply as the Stratford Festival, announced the change Thursday and said its new name takes effect immediately.
Earlier this year, the festival named Antoni Cimolino as its new artistic director, taking over from Des McAnuff. Cimolino, who had served as general director of the company since 2006, assumed his new role Thursday.
The festival was called the Stratford Festival for many years before adding the "Shakespeare" in 2008.
The company continues to produce Shakespeare plays, and will perform "Romeo and Juliet," "The Merchant of Venice," "Measure for Measure" and "Othello" in the 2013 season.
Cimolino said in a statement that the name "is simple and direct, it resonates with people and it carries our legacy of quality and success."

For the third straight year, New Bern Fire-Rescue and Suddenlink are teaming with The Salvation Army to encourage residents and businesses in Eastern North Carolina to help feed families and individuals in need.
The project is the �Together We CAN� Food Drive. Since the partnership began in 2010, canned food donations have helped feed more than 5,000 families throughout the year.
Local residents and businesses in the five Salvation Army-Suddenlink service areas sponsoring the Food Drive � New Bern Greenville, Kinston, Rocky Mount and Washington � can make canned and other non-perishable food donations through Dec. 24.
There will also be a two-day drive in New Bern with CTV-10 on Dec. 6 and 7 followed by a one-day drive at the New Bern Fire-Rescue headquarters on Neuse Boulevard on Dec. 10.
The 13-county drop-off area is from I-95 to the Outer Banks.
New Bern drop-off locations include Food Lions, Piggly Wigglys, New Bern Recycling, and New Bern Fire-Rescue stations, in addition to the local Suddenlink office. Employees at various local businesses are encouraged to make donations of canned and non-perishable foods at their workplaces.
�The Salvation Army will do its best to be there for the growing number of adults and children who will visit their local Corps offices for feeding assistance this Christmas and into 2013,� said New Bern Salvation Army Captain Ray Morton. �We are fortunate to have corporate partners such as Suddenlink and New Bern Fire-Rescue. Their help is vital if we are to generate enough nourishing food for the thousands of people served by our Corps.�
Suddenlink North Carolina Senior Vice President Phil Ahlschlager said his company was committed to helping meet the need.
�We urge our neighbors and business partners in the community to help us by bringing food donations to our customer retail locations, Salvation Army locations and other drop-off sites,� he said.
Suddenlink, the nation�s seventh largest cable operator, employs nearly 350 people and serves more than 90,000 customers in Eastern North Carolina.
Television promotions are on Suddenlink�s cable TV systems in the area. A commercial will feature well-known television personality and sportscaster Jeff Charles, who is the football and baseball radio voice of East Carolina University.
This year�s Food Drive also will be supported by a 30-second radio message from Ahlschlager. For a complete listing of Food Drive drop-off sites, area residents can contact local Salvation Army offices or food drive sponsors.

If there's one thing we know about Nick Diaz and the members of Team Cesar Gracie, it's that they will not tolerate bullshit in *any* of its various forms. However, if the latest upload from ever-enigmatic Youtube user Jerry Rips — which features audio of Diaz's corner during his bouts with Carlos Condit, BJ Penn, and Georges St. Pierre — is any indication, it would appear that wetness is just below bullshit on Team Cesar Gracie's list of deplorable offenses. And once you realize what the average TCG training session looks like, you'll begin to understand just what the punishment is for such an offense.
Confused? Well welcome to the 209, bitch. It's a magical place where, should you find yourself fighting for a(n interim) title in MMA's highest promotion, you will receive such sound corner advice as "That's the kind of asshole shit he's got," "Fuckin' dick," and "Condit, you pussy!" But mainly, your teammates/coaches will be relegated to complaining about how slippery your opponent is. Not slippery in the figurative sense — we mean, like, that pussy just got out the pool or some shit. And don't even get them started on what'll happen if this fight goes the judges, who are all probably betting against you anyway. But seriously, they put waaay too much water on that motherfucker, man.
We could watch this all day, but we first feel compelled to ask: Nate Diaz vs. Frito in an academic decathalon — who takes it?

Yesterday, Scott linked to Peter Berkowitz's piece in the Weekly Standard which raised this question in connection with the Supreme Court's recent 8-0 decision in Rumsfeld v. FAIR: "How could so many law professors of such high rank and distinction be so wrong about such straightforward issues of constitutional law?" The answer, I think, is that many law professors of high rank and distinction, having swallowed or been swayed by "critical legal theory" during their formative years, believe that there are no right or wrong (much less straightforward) answers to legal questions — only right or wrong substantive outcomes and right or wrong gestures. Think of these professors as enjoying a game of tennis until Chief Justice Roberts put up a net.
But let's not forget that these worthies encountered no net at the court of appeals level. And, as John said, they might well have succeeded with their game before the Supreme Court had it been "in liberal hands." So at some level the deep cynicism of the liberal professors may be justified.

We're not anywhere near the first blog to take note of how the Cowboys, always eager to publicize their operation, posted images on the team Web site that contained their draft board on draft day. Interested people (with much too much time on their hands) quickly found ways to read many of the names listed.
So, in a way, George C. Scott's darkest fear from "Dr. Strangelove" has been realized. They saw the big board!!!
From an Eagles perspective, this is interesting mainly in that Dallas valued at least a few Eagles draftees differently. Brandon Graham, the defensive end the Birds traded up to take 13th overall in the first round, was ranked as the fifth-best player in the second round on the Cowboys' board. Before you get too excited about that, the fact is, teams often vary wildly in their evaluations. Dallas, like the Eagles, has hit big with some picks in recent years and done much less well with others. It's a fact that all three of the DEs most people said were the draft's best went between pick 13 and pick 16. It seems really unlikely that Graham would have lasted until the second round, regardless of Dallas's opinion.
It's less surprising that Dallas ranked Daniel Te'o-Nesheim, the DE the Birds took in the third round, as a fifth-rounder; most people felt he went earlier than he was rated.
Here's a link to a blog that has a fairly complete listing of the names on the board.
And in closing, we'd like to quote Slim Pickens at the end of the movie: "Yeeehhaaa!!!"

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Commuter rail service will resume Friday following a strike, after the San Francisco Bay Area transit agency and its two largest unions agreed to extend a labor contract for a month while they continue bargaining.
A statement released late Thursday by Bay Area Rapid Transit said trains will begin running by 3 p.m. Friday, ending a four-day strike that slowed commutes across the Bay Area. The agreement between the agency and its unions will be extended for 30 days.
BART General Manager Grace Crunican said there is a wide gap of disagreements between the two sides.
"Unfortunately, the issues that brought us to this point remain unresolved," Crunican said. "Despite lots of hard work, BART and its unions have failed to come to an agreement on contract issues that matter to all of us today and into the future."
BART is the nation's fifth-largest rail system and serves more than 400,000 commuters each weekday. BART carries passengers from the farthest reaches of San Francisco's densely populated eastern suburbs to San Francisco International Airport across the bay.
The strike began early Monday after negotiations broke off. Talks resumed Tuesday as political pressure and public pleas mounted to reach a settlement. The two sides negotiated into the night Wednesday. BART issued a statement, saying it was sorry that the actions of the unions had caused such a tremendous disruption.(backslash)
The strike caused stress and frustration in the region. Commuters lined up early in the morning for the transit agency's charter buses at five locations, waited patiently for ferries heading to San Francisco, and endured heavy rush-hour traffic on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge that lightened considerably by midmorning.
BART said that limited bus service would continue Friday.
BART's last strike lasted six days in 1997.
Key issues in the labor dispute include salaries, pensions, health care and safety.
BART has said workers from the two unions average about $71,000 in base salary and $11,000 in overtime annually. The workers also pay a flat $92 monthly fee for health insurance.
The unions — which represent nearly 2,400 train operators, station agents, mechanics, maintenance workers and professional staff — want a 5 percent raise each year over the next three years.
BART said it is offering an 8 percent salary increase over the next four years as well as reducing the amount of employee contributions it originally requested for pension and medical benefits.
Antonette Bryant, president of one of the unions, said BART is on notice and has 30 days to hammer out a deal.
"We're not going to let them hijack us and the riding public and we are deeply sorry this had to happen," Bryant said.
Marty Morgenstern, the state's secretary of the Labor and Workforce Development Agency, announced the details shortly after 11 p.m. PDT.
"The contract will be extended until August. 4," Morgenstern said. "The parties will continue to negotiate just as hard as they are now."
There was no immediate word on how the agreement was made to resume service and continue talks.

Robert Lewandowski's agent has dismissed reports that Manchester United is in pole position to sign the Borussia Dortmund ace.
Stories emerging on Wednesday claimed that one of the Poland international's representatives had declared that the only interest in Lewandowski was from Old Trafford.
Cezary Kucharski was quoted as saying: "Many clubs follow the player but really it is only specifically Manchester United.
"Bayern Munich? I know something but no further details. In June we'll see, but [a move to] Juventus is just a rumor. Nobody at the Italian club has talked to me."
However, Mike Barthel, another of the Pole's entourage, rubbished the reports.
He told Goal.com: "No, those are not our words. Especially the part about Bayern is not true."
Lewandowski has scored 21 goals in 31 games this season for die Schwarzgelben but they sit 15 points behind Bayern as they look to retain their Bundesliga title.

At The Corner, Robert Costa has a nice interview with Ann Romney that includes this exchange:
NRO: Speaking of people who are making claims, what do you make of President Obama's telling a Wisconsin crowd that the governor was duplicitous during the debate?
ROMNEY: I hadn't heard that, but that's interesting. Mitt's positions are exactly what they've always been, and if he had done his homework, he would have known better.
NRO: So you don't think the president did enough homework?
ROMNEY: Well, something happened.
Something happened, indeed. Today's Rasmussen poll, just out, shows Romney with a two-point lead, 49%-47%. This is with two-thirds of the interviews conducted after Wednesday's debate, so it is reasonable to hope for another point tomorrow. This represents a much bigger bounce than I expected Romney to get, but like most people I didn't expect the massacre that viewers saw. Rasmussen also finds that Romney leads Obama by 16 points among independents. I don't understand how he can be up by 16 with independents and only two overall, but I guess all will become clear in time.

"Gosh, that looks shiny."
Let's face it: that was the first thing we all thought when DICE unveiled the Battlefield 4 gameplay trailer. "Ooh," we gushed. "Aah."
And then I started thinking - really thinking - about what I'd just seen.
Right off the bat: it's clear that EA accidentally released the wrong trailer. DICE have been teasing images of boats, planes and tanks over the last week, yet subjected us to seventeen minutes of generic brown ground pounding when it came to the crunch. Obviously that was just B-roll footage. The real trailer naturally showed swarms of player-controlled aircraft screaming over enormous battleships, raining fire down onto well-organised squads of infantry battling for territory while tank squadrons rolled through the streets. Someone will probably get fired for that embarrassing cock-up.
But the second thought was much more exasperating. Why, oh why, is Battlefield still trying to be Call Of Duty?
You can't beat something by becoming it. Call Of Duty is Call Of Duty. It's a thing, it's out there, and it offers the kitchen sink. Fancy some singleplayer? Fine, have six fun if staggeringly generic hours of explosions set in wartorn cities. Want some ridiculously epic co-op? Here's Spec-Ops, Survival and Zombies. Multiplayer? You know how it works, get on in here buddy. Call Of Duty is all things to all gamers, and offers something for everyone for an inflated price.
Battlefield, however, is all about the multiplayer. It always has been and always will be. DICE are absolutely peerless at creating enduring, deep, involving and exciting multiplayer games, and Battlefield 3 was utterly superb. Yet it also made us shell out for a horrendously dull, generic and bland few hours of singleplayer misery that the vast majority of hardcore fans didn't even play (not to mention the vomitously awful co-op suite), and practically stunk out the room when we cracked the seal. "Call Of Duty has these things," reasoned EA, "so Battlefield must have them too. Only worse."
No, I say. No. Here, in a supreme demonstration of blatant arrogance on my part, is what DICE and EA should have done.
Sod the kitchen sink. When you look back at core franchise games, like BF2, BF1942, 2142 etc, Battlefield is a sensational multiplayer experience, and they never even bothered giving us a singleplayer campaign beyond some glorified (and awesome) botmatches. People play Battlefield for the multiplayer. So that is what, at launch, Battlefield 4 should offer.
A superbly solid multiplayer game. With loads of maps and modes. No singleplayer campaign whatsoever. For about £29.99 retail.
We've recently begun to realise that AAA games are becoming far too expensive to produce, and the lower overheads (sorry, you incredibly talented and hard-working DICE singleplayer designers, but I'm on a roll here) would mean that EA could cut the production budget significantly and deploy Battlefield 4 at a lower RRP. Compared with shelling out mad money for the next Call Of Duty, paying much less for a spectacular multiplayer proposition will be incredibly tempting for any number of gamers. Smaller overheads mean bigger profits, and smaller targets to hit before recouping development costs. Any number of people love Call Of Duty for its plethora of options, and that's absolutely fine, but many more people just want an epic online experience to get stuck into. Compete by being the ultimate fully-featured multiplayer package, at an attractive price that won't break the bank.
That, in and of itself, would be a fantastic return to form. But there's a second stage. A potential masterstroke. Something so glorious and yet so devious I've barely begun to comprehend the ramifications.
Here's the pitch ,EA. Once BF4 was well into production, you could start brainstorming a singleplayer campaign. Nothing enormous - perhaps just 6-8 levels - but wide, open, massive stages with an embarrassment of optional vehicles to use. Players could replay these missions any number of times and experience them in totally different ways, all the while unlocking new weapons and facing off against some randomised foes. With robust Battlelog integration and perhaps a soupçon of co-op, it would be a riot.
Except that it's not a generic military shooter campaign. There's no gravelly-voiced placeholders spouting nonsensical jargon. No rats to stab. None of that noise.
Instead, it's a Bad Company campaign.
The comedy value, the camaraderie, the pop culture references and banter make DICE's singleplayer stand out from Activision's rival, not to mention the enormously fun vehicles and tight fast-paced action. Find some contrived excuse to ship the lads off to Shanghai, give them loads of tanks and buildings to destroy, and then release the campaign as £10-£15 DLC a few months after launch.
Hardcore multiplayer fans won't bat an eyelid. Many players, on the other hand, will be happy to spend a bit extra on a fun and replayable campaign, especially with some amusing dialogue and an irreverent tone. Since the game released at a reduced RRP, we'd only end up spending the same as we would have for a full priced game, and only paid for the bits we wanted. Better yet, gamers who love Bad Company but don't hugely care about Battlefield (there are a few out there) might be tempted to drop a few quid on Battlefield 4 - oh, hey, it's less than £29.99 in a deal - and then bolt the campaign DLC on. You'd never have reached that audience without developing an entirely new game, with all the associated costs, yet you've just managed to flog them Battlefield 4. Job's, as they say, a good'un.
There's doubtlessly plenty wrong with this thesis. I have no business qualifications whatsoever, so there are probably plenty of kinks to iron out (let's get some feedback together and work on this). But, at the end of the day, we'll all be buying Battlefield 4 for its multiplayer... and should we really have to pay extra for the privilege of running around a brown shooting gallery that we'll ignore anyway?
But gosh, isn't it shiny?

BEDMINSTER, N.J., and DUBLIN, Ireland, June 21, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amarin Corporation plc (Nasdaq: AMRN), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the commercialization and development of therapeutics to improve cardiovascular health, announced today the results from a Phase 1 clinical trial that compared bioavailability of components from a fixed-dose combination of its flagship product, Vascepa® (icosapent ethyl), plus rosuvastatin, to concomitant administration of the two agents independently, and to rosuvastatin alone.
"The encouraging results of this pharmacokinetic study represent a crucial step in the plan to solidify a fixed-dose formulation of Vascepa capsules with statins," stated Joseph Zakrzewski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Amarin.
In the multiple-dose study of 48 healthy volunteers, AMR-102 (the fixed-dose combination of icosapent ethyl and rosuvastatin, a leading statin) was assessed versus simultaneous administration of the individual agents, as well as versus rosuvastatin monotherapy, on pharmacokinetic measurements in order to show feasibility of the fixed-dose combination. The results proved promising, as there was no inhibition of either the rosuvastatin bioavailability, or of the bioavailability of the active metabolite EPA from Vascepa, observed with the fixed-dose combination product compared to the other arms of the trial.
The AMR-102 test formulation was well tolerated. No serious adverse events were reported in the Phase 1 trial, nor was there an increase in reported side effects with either the fixed-dose combination, or the arm given co-administration of the two agents, versus those who received rosuvastatin alone.
In the ANCHOR trial, Vascepa showed robust reductions in TGs and a broad range of other lipid parameters on top of optimized statin therapy, including atorvastatin, simvastatin, and rosuvastatin. Based on these encouraging efficacy results from ANCHOR, technical considerations, and market research, rosuvastatin was selected for this initial proof-of-principle pharmacokinetic study. The results of this Phase 1 study with rosuvastatin and Vascepa also bode well for the feasibility of applying this fixed-dose combination approach to a broader range of statins.
Amarin also announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has published notification of Reasons for Allowance for Amarin's U.S. Patent Application Serial Number 13/540,319 titled "Pharmaceutical Compositions Comprising EPA and a Cardiovascular Agent and Methods of Using the Same." Notification of Reasons for Allowance typically precedes a formal Notice of Allowance, which signifies that the USPTO has made a determination to grant a patent from an application. The claims in this application cover a method of treating mixed dyslipidemia, based on Amarin's ANCHOR trial, with a fixed-dose formulation of Vascepa and any statin.
"These claims from the ANCHOR fixed-dose formulation, along with other recently allowed and granted patents that cover a fixed dose combination product from the MARINE trial give Amarin a strong IP position for AMR-102," said Zakrzewski. Each such patent would have a term that expires no earlier than in 2030.
Amarin plans to continue its development of AMR-102, which could become the first combination omega-3/statin product in the lipid lowering market. Amarin intends to launch this first-of-its-kind combination product around the same time that generic rosuvastatin is expected to be available in the United States, subject to further positive clinical development and regulatory approval of AMR-102.

Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described or projected herein include events that could interfere with the issuance of a patent, or once issued, the continued validity or enforceability of a patent; Amarin's ability generally to maintain adequate patent protection and successfully enforce patent claims against third parties; commercializing Vascepa without violating the intellectual property rights of others; uncertainties associated generally with research and development, clinical trials and related regulatory submissions and approvals. A further list and description of these risks, uncertainties and other risks associated with an investment in Amarin can be found in Amarin's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Existing and prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Amarin undertakes no obligation to update or revise the information contained in this press release, whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances or otherwise.
Vascepa has been approved for use by the FDA as an adjunct to diet to reduce triglyceride levels in adult patients with severe (≥500 mg/dL) hypertriglyceridemia. Vascepa and AMR102 are under various stages of development for potential use in other indications that have not been approved by the FDA. Nothing in this press release should be construed as marketing the use of Vascepa or AMR 102 in any indication that has not been approved by the FDA.

There's something people have to realize: when the doctor regenerates he really changes, it's not just cosmetic.
David Tennant's doctor was peace loving to the extreme (as was Christopher Eccleston's) and we got used to that for quite some time now. Matt Smith's doctor on the other hand is darker and they showed quite early that he no longer has any qualms with picking up a gun for example. Would we ever have seen the 10th put a gun against someone's head like the 11th did last episode? Not bloody likely!
But that also ties into that "loneliness" plot that they're starting to hint at (that james0246 has already mentioned) and I'm guessing that it'll only get worse before it gets better.

Interesting side note for Dinosaurs On A Spaceship. Rory's dad was played by the guy who played Arthur Weasley and Solomon was played by Filtch both from Harry Potter.
Well its been hinted really since last season that the Ponds were travelling less with hhim and lonliness did play a big part in 10ths stand as well. The Doctor needs companions not only for company but as Donna so famously said "to tell you to stop". Itll be interesting to see how 11 will change after Claire (?) Joins as his companion.

I thought people were forgetting about this thread.
Anyway, the Dinosaurs in a spaceship episode was a fun thing to watch and seeing Arthur Weasley and Filtch was kinda weird for me.
I love the Mercy episode since it gives some thoughts about redemption, justice and forgiveness.
The parallels between the Doctor, the Gunslinger and Jex show all three were good men who did bad things and whether they all deserve forgiveness for their actions.
Another plus was seeing Ben Browder aka John Crichton of Farscape again!

For the longest time I had only heard of Doctor Who, but now that my new roommate has the seasons on disks, we've been slowly watching them.
Although we're starting at the new series (the...9th Doctor? Christopher Eccleston.), but I'm finding it quite fascinating so far. We're going to end David Tennant's season after the weekend. The 2-parter with The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit is my favourite so far.
Consider me a newbie to this world though; I'm just a passerby who's enjoying himself with the series. :3

Great episode the Power of Three. I love that they introduced the Brigadier's daughter, who also appears in the EU stories.
I had a laugh when Brian Cox and Sir Alan Sugar made a cameo.
Of course next episode will be the last appearance of the Ponds. ;_; : (

It was a good episode. I especially thought the moments of quiet when the Ponds were living in real life were well done. I did not see the online normalcy episodes, but I love seeing the Ponds in Real Life. Lots of fun.
That being said, as often with episodes featuring a monster of the week, the build-up was significantly better than the climax (there was, essentially, a magic button that fixed everything). Still, this was a very charming episode with plenty of fun bits and a nice build-up (especially for the finale next week).

Oh god I was okay until that Afterword...and then the tears started falling.
To me this was by far the best ending for companion(s) since New Who started. It was sad but actually uplifting. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Besides the nicely atmospheric, bittersweet, and just a little scary conclusion to the Ponds/Williams story arc, I especially liked Melody/River's return. While I am not a big fan of their relationship, I definitely liked how River views her relationship with the Doctor, as well how she views the Doctor himself. It's nice to know that the writers actually came up with a legitimate reason for keeping her away from her hubby.
