Dr. Suxing Hu, senior scientist in the theory division of the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) at the University of Rochester, has been named an American Physical Society Fellow for his work on physics that happens in ultrafast times: attosecond physics.
An attosecond is an incredibly short amount of time; it is one quintillionth of a second or, for context, an attosecond is to a second what a second is to about 31.71 billion years, or more than twice the age of the universe. Some of his key results provide insight into the probing of ultrafast electron-electron correlations in atoms and molecules.
Hu described the work, published in Physical Review Letters, as potentially providing "a substantial advance in the rapidly developing field of attosecond science." He added that the result could aid physicists, chemists and biologists to examine and manipulate ultrafast motions of electrons in atoms, molecules, clusters and even nanostructures.
Hu joined the LLE as a scientist in 2006 and works in inertial-confinement fusion, as well as the areas of atomic, molecular, optical and plasma physics to advance the understanding of ultrafast dynamics and radiations of quantum few-body systems exposed to intense and ultrashort laser pulses.
Before joining the LLE, Hu was a Director's Postdoctoral Fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Previously, he was a postdoctoral research associate in the department of physics & astronomy of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Max-Born-Institut in Berlin, Germany. Hu holds a B.S. in theoretical physics from Guizhou University, China, and Ph.D. in physics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai Institute of Optics & Fine Mechanics, China.
Hu has published over 100 peer reviewed articles. He has served as a reviewer to DOE and NSF programs and also is often a referee for many physics journals, including Physical Review Letters, Applied Physics Letters, Optics Letters, Physical Review A/B/E, Plasma Physics, and Nuclear Fusion.
In announcing the fellowship, the American Physical Society cited as his major contributions "attosecond probes of electron correlations in atoms, attosecond imaging of ultrafast atomic and molecular processes, relativistic laser acceleration of electrons, and the development of accurate numerical methods for intense laser interactions with atoms and molecules."

Debt ceiling deal reached; Federal workers to return to jobs
Staff and Wire Reports
WASHINGTON - Congress on Wednesday approved an 11th-hour deal to end a partial government shutdown and pull the world's biggest economy back from the brink of a historic debt default that could have threatened financial calamity.
Capping weeks of political brinkmanship that had unnerved global markets, President Barack Obama quickly signed the spending measure, which passed the Senate and House of Representatives after Republicans dropped efforts to use the legislation to force changes in his signature healthcare law.
The White House budget office told hundreds of thousands of federal workers, the bulk of whom had been idle for the past 16 days, to be ready to return to work on Thursday.
The down-to-the-wire deal, however, offers only a temporary fix and does not resolve the fundamental issues of spending and deficits that divide Republicans and Democrats.
It funds the government until Jan. 15 and raises the debt ceiling until Feb. 7, so Americans face the possibility of another bitter budget fight and another government shutdown early next year.
With the deadlock broken just a day before the U.S. Treasury said it would exhaust its ability to borrow new funds, U.S. stocks surged on Wednesday, nearing an all-time high.
Share markets in Asia also cheered the deal.
Taking the podium in the White House briefing room on Wednesday night, Obama said that with final congressional passage, "We can begin to lift this cloud of uncertainty and unease from our businesses and from the American people.
"Hopefully next time it won't be in the 11th hour. We've got to get out of the habit of governing by crisis," Obama said.
He outmaneuvered Republicans by holding firm in defense of "Obamacare" to win agreement, with few strings attached, to end the 16-day shutdown.
World Bank President Jim Yong Kim said "the global economy dodged a potential catastrophe" with congressional approval of the deal to raise the $16.7 trillion U.S. debt ceiling.
The standoff between Republicans and the White House over funding the government forced the temporary lay-off of hundreds of thousands of federal workers from Oct. 1 and created concern that crisis-driven politics was the "new normal" in Washington.
While essential functions like defense and air traffic control continued during the crisis, national parks and agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency have been largely closed.
New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte hailed the 81-18 Senate vote.
"I'm glad that Republicans and Democrats have reached an agreement that will end the government shutdown and address the debt ceiling in the short term," the Republican said. "However, much work remains to be done to address the underlying fiscal challenges that brought us to this point — including our $17 trillion debt. Americans are rightfully tired and frustrated, and we owe it to them to stop governing by crisis and start working together to solve problems."
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen released this statement after the vote: "I'm glad we were able to come together and pass a bipartisan plan tonight to reopen our government, which never should have been shut down, and avoid the catastrophic economic consequences of a default," the Democrat said. "Moving forward we need to develop a long-term plan to address our debt and deficits so we can avoid future manufactured crises that hurt jobs, the economy and our middle-class."
The Republican-controlled House was expected to take up the measure later Wednesday after Speaker John Boehner dropped the party's efforts to link the spending measure to changes in President Barack Obama's health care law.
The deal, however, offers only a temporary fix and does not resolve the fundamental issues of spending and deficits that divide Republicans and Democrats. It funds the government until Jan. 15 and raises the debt ceiling until Feb. 7, so Americans face the possibility of another government shutdown early next year.
U.S. stocks surged, nearing an all-time high, on news of the deal.
The stand-off between Republicans and the White House over funding the government forced the temporary lay-off of hundreds of thousands of federal workers from Oct. 1.
Sen. John McCain, whose fellow Republicans triggered the crisis with demands that President Barack Obama's signature "Obamacare" health care law be defunded, said Wednesday the deal marked the "end of an agonizing odyssey" for Americans.
"It is one of the most shameful chapters I have seen in the years I've spent in the Senate," said McCain, who had repeatedly warned Republicans not to link their demands for Obamacare changes to the debt limit or government spending bill.
The Senate passed the measure on a 81-18 vote, and the House was expected to follow suit, clearing the way for Obama to sign it into law no later than today, when the Treasury says it will hit the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling.
Fully reopening the government was expected to take several days. While essential functions like defense and air traffic control have continued, national parks and agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency have been largely closed.
Although the deal would only extend U.S. borrowing authority until Feb. 7, the Treasury Department would have tools to temporarily extend its borrowing capacity beyond that date if Congress failed to act early next year.
The agreement includes some income verification procedures for those seeking subsidies under the health care law, but Republicans surrendered on their attempts to include other changes, including the elimination of a medical device tax.
While analysts and U.S. officials say the government will still have roughly $30 billion in cash to pay many obligations for at least a few days after Oct. 17, the financial sector may begin to seize up if the deal is not finalized in both chambers.
The planned votes signal a temporary ceasefire between Republicans and the White House in the latest struggle over spending and deficits that has at times paralyzed both decision-making and basic functions of government.
The political dysfunction has worried U.S. allies and creditors such as China, the biggest foreign holder of U.S. debt, and raised questions about the impact on America's prestige. The Treasury has said it risks hurting the country's reputation as a safe haven and stable financial center.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Republican leader Mitch McConnell announced the fiscal agreement on the Senate floor. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, said he would not use procedural moves to delay a vote.
It was unclear if Boehner's leadership position will be at risk in the fallout. But several Republican lawmakers suggested he may have strengthened his standing among the rank-and-file, who gave him a standing ovation at an afternoon meeting.
"He just said we live to fight another day and we all need to go out and vote for it," said Republican Rep. Devin Nunes of California, who had opposed the government shutdown strategy of his colleagues.

Kentucky Derby 135 Update (4.6.09)
After a successful debut in New York in the Gotham Stakes (Grade III) that bordered on effortless, David Lanzman and IEAH Stables' California invader I Want Revenge encountered nothing but trouble in last Saturday's Wood Memorial (GI). But the result in each was the same: a victory that enhanced his status as one of the major contenders for the $2 million guaranteed Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (GI) at Churchill Downs on May 2.
"What he did today was really special," Mullins said after the Wood. "He had every trouble you could have in a race and overcame it. We've got one more show to go, and if he can win that one he's a pretty special animal."
I Want Revenge started from the rail post as the 1-2 favorite in the field of eight, but was flat-footed at the start and was last in the early stages of the 1 1/8-mile race. He gradually worked his way through the field, but became trapped behind horses on the far turn and remained bottled up and looking for an opening through most of the stretch run. A hole finally materialized and I Want Revenge accelerated quickly and drew clear. He covered the distance over a "fast" track in 1:48.48.
"To be honest, he only ran an eighth of a mile, so I don't think it took too much out of him" Talamo said. "That was the first time he got real dirt in his face, and he took it like he's had it before 100 times."
Just a Coincidence finished third. Imperial Council, the Gotham runner-up and the 5-2 second choice, was prominent in the stretch but faded to finish fifth.
Mullins will waste no time in getting I Want Revenge to Churchill Downs. The colt is scheduled to arrive at the Louisville track on Monday, April 5.
'Candyman' takes Bay Shore – Capt. Candyman Can, once considered a major contender for this year's Kentucky Derby, proved again that he is a major force at one-turn sprint distances when he rallied from just off the pace to score a 3 ½-length victory over Taqarub in the $200,000 Bay Shore (GII) at seven furlongs on the Wood Memorial undercard.
The Ian Wilkes-trained son of Candy Ride was ridden by Javier Castellano.
The Santa Anita Derby (GI) lost some of its luster when morning line favorite The Pamplemousse was scratched shortly before the race, but Zayat Stable's Pioneerof the Nile had no trouble grabbing the spotlight as he rolled to his fourth consecutive stakes victory in Southern California's major prep for the Kentucky Derby.
In a race that had little early speed in the absence of The Pamplemousse, Pioneerof the Nile – a stretch runner through most of his young career – pressed the pace under Garrett Gomez and cruised to a one-length victory over Chocolate Candy. Mr. Hot Stuff finished third as Pioneerof the Nile covered the 1 1/8 mile distance over the synthetic Pro-Ride surface in 1:49.17.
It was a record fifth Santa Anita Derby win for Baffert, who will bring Pioneerof the Nile to Churchill Downs in search of the trainer's fourth Kentucky Derby win. That would tie him with Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas for second on the all-time win list for trainers in the "Run for the Roses." Calumet Farm legend Ben A. Jones leads all trainers with six Kentucky Derby wins. Baffert has not saddled a Derby starter since 2006.
"I'm glad to be back in the show," said Baffert, who won his Kentucky Derbies with Silver Charm (1997), Real Quiet (1998) and War Emblem (2002).
The Pamplemousse Is Off Derby Trail – When morning line favorite The Pamplemousse was scratched before Saturday's Santa Anita Derby, co-owner Alex Solis II said the colt had suffered a tendon injury in his left front leg – but he did not rule out a Kentucky Derby bid.
That tune had changed by Sunday morning, when Solis announced that concern over the soft tissue injury had ended the Kentucky Derby dream pf the winner of the San Rafael (GII) and Sham (GIII). Solis said Sunday that the colt would be sidelined indefinitely.
""He's going to run again," said Solis. "He's not finished, but he will not run in the Kentucky Derby."
Wagering on The Pamplemousse in Pool 3 of he Kentucky Derby Future wager was suspended upon word on the colt's defection from the Kentucky Derby scene.
A victory in the recent Tampa Bay Derby (GIII) had turned some heads, but an emphatic victory by Eric Fein and Vic Carlson's Musket Man in Saturday's $500,000 Illinois Derby (GII) earned the son of Yonaguska some respect and a trip to Churchill Downs for the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby.
Musket Man, a late nominee to the Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown, rolled from off the pace under Eibar Coa to win the 1 1/8-mile race at Hawthorne Race Course by two lengths. Giant Oak was
second and His Greatness was third. The winner covered the distance in 1:49.91 as he won for the fifth time in six career races for trainer Derek Ryan.
"He really ran a big race today," Ryan said. "Everybody has been questioning his ability to get the distance, but they don't know the horse like I do."
Musket Man arrived at Churchill Downs on Sunday following a van ride from Chicago.
Two major Kentucky Derby preps loom on Saturday, April 11 when the $750,000 Toyota Blue Grass (GI) over Polytrack at Keeneland and the $1 million Arkansas Derby (GI) will be run over traditional dirt at Oaklawn Park.

Natural Areas
Broward County Parks and Recreation is responsible for providing proper management and public appreciation of the environmentally significant lands within Broward County's park system.
According to the agency's Strategic Plan, the purpose of the Planning and Development Section (formerly the Environmental Section) is "to administer an ongoing comprehensive environmental management program focused on preserving, protecting, enhancing, and monitoring natural areas, and allowing appropriate public access for site appreciation and education."
Broward County Parks manages nearly 3,500 acres of natural areas that provide nature preserves for indigenous flora and fauna, including rare and endangered species, allowing for the preservation of historic vegetative communities in Broward County. The natural areas help provide cleaner air and percolation of rainwater into the water supply. Restored wetlands also allow for the storage and cleansing of surface water.
The park system's current management responsibilities include 21 natural area sites and four regional parks that are also nature centers. Each one is unique and has its own particular management challenges. It is Parks and Recreation's responsibility to manage natural areas through best management practices by preserving ecological integrity while providing public access to natural areas via trails, boardwalks, and other amenities where appropriate. We strive to preserve the ecological balance of the system's natural areas through Resource Management Plans and diligent management efforts. We offer environmental education for all ages and abilities, including nature classes, trail walks and hikes, lecture programs, and special events.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch."
"There's no such thing as a free lunch."
— Old adage.
"There's no escaping death and taxes."
— Even older adage.
Since Ronald Reagan came to power 33 years ago, the prevaling ideology in this country has been that taxes are too high and government too big.
And though Reagan himself was a pragmatist who raised taxes multiple times, his anti-tax philosophy, and even more so his anti-tax rhetoric, has become so successful that we now have a large cohort of our population that actually believes the second adage is untrue.
They are wrong.
And Reagan knew so when he compromised with Tip O'Neil to pay for the great defense buildup he thought necessary to keep the old Soviet Union at bay.
Despite popular legend in many conservative circles, the nation was in deep debt when the Gipper left office. For unlike today's tea partiers, Reagan also raised the debt limit to pay for the bills he and his Congresses had run up. Multiple times.
Which brings us to one of the highest dogmas of contemporary Republican Party philosophy/strategy as the debt ceiling debate once again rages: Taxes can never be raised until all the government waste and corruption is weeded out, and until government spending is reined in once and for all.
That's a pretty little thought but unlikely to occur in a mass, urbanized society.
Big government tends toward huge swath of depressing corruption and inefficiency, and big business to the same phenomenon. As Lord Acton observed "absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Big government and big business tend toward absolute power because their "systems" are so complex they inevitably contain pockets of endemic dysfunction. See the legions of government workers who get jobs and exorbitant pensions through their political connections for a reference. And see the unethical financial rigging of the "too big to fail" Wall Street institutions leading up to the 2008 stock market collapse.
When a society is huge and complex, people tend to have an easier time figuring out ways to cheat. A good society ferrets out the cheaters and punishes them, it polices the failures of its system. But we are not in a particularly good society in 2013.
There are very few effective practices right now for ferreting out big government and big business corruption — either systematically or by individual case.
See the Lyndon Johnson Great Society "welfare" programs that still penalize mothers for having a husband at home and see our current Social Security disability system that allows working-age adults to collect government checks for things like mood disorders and bad backs. And see the 1990s elimination of the Glass-Steagall banking regulations that once protected every day investors from greedy Wall Street speculators.
These sorts of things have bred cynicism about government and big business in the working men and women who pay for social safety-net programs or who are themselves unable to influence the financial system.
Some government programming and some financial freedom for big business is necessary in a complex urban society that is pretty much incapable of providing anything near full employment. But this complexity due to size nevertheless breeds inequity and envy between the working and non-working classes.
In many ways it's not government that is unpopular, it's government that benefits somebody else besides ourselves that we hate. It's the big business that we ourselves don't work in but whose expensive bill we must pay that prompts outrage.
See the polling that shows tea partiers don't want Medicare and Social Security retirement cut, but do oppose universal health care and programming for the poor. And see the mixed feelings of the Democratic Party about regulating a Wall Street that is a prime source of campaign funding. It's when our 401(k) goes down the drain that we don't like the rigged gambling in the financial industry, not when the same 401(k) is growing by leaps and bounds.
Though we are not in a particularly good society in 2013, we are not in a particularly bad one either.
The successful social safety net programs that followed the Great Depression — Social Security and Medicare — have kept us from being a horrible country in which old people who have no one to care for them die in utter poverty and degradation. See real life in Russia or India or China.
Two events this week have prompted me to this long rumination on taxes and government: The second-term inauguration of Barack Obama as he continues to do battle with the Tea Party Congress. And Gov. Deval Patrick's ambitious tax reform program aimed at raising the money necessary to rebuild a paralyzed state transportation infrastructure and a dysfunctional public education system.
Patrick has come up with as thoughtful, as realistic a long-term investment and revenue plan as any moderate citizen could desire. And yet the lifers in the Democratic Legislature are keeping their mouths shut about it.
These are the same Democrats who will never cut their own government pensions or regulate their access to patronage jobs. Yet they balk when it comes to reforms that would make the tax system fairer, or to raising taxes by the marginal amount necessary to invest in the state's future.
Though the local pols may call themselves Democrats, they are as paralyzed by the Reagan Revolution as the most ardent tea partier in a gerrymandered House district in Texas.
Which brings us to one final adage, attributable to either Winston Churchill or Israeli diplomat Abba Eban, depending on whom you believe.
"Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing ... after they have exhausted all other possibilities."
The question is how close we are to exhausting all our other possibilities.
The question is when will we realize we have to both reform government and raise the taxes necessary to pay for our big, complex, 21st century society.
Happy Inauguration Weekend.

- Premier League
Wilshere admits to dark days at Arsenal
Jack Wilshere has admitted there were moments during his long spell out of the game that he felt he would struggle to return to his best for Arsenal.
Wilshere spent well over a year on the sidelines due to injury and it was on Tuesday that he made his first Champions League appearance in 20 months - in the 2-2 draw with Schalke.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is pleased with how Wilshere has slotted back in, despite Arsenal's recent struggles, and the midfielder is looking more confident each game.
"It was a serious one but it wasn't a result of a bad tackle or anything," Wilshere is quoted as saying in the Sun. "It just happened over time, it took time to heal and I had a few setbacks.
"Obviously you start to question yourself as to whether you can get back to the level you were at before. But hopefully I can get back to training well and get back to where I was.
"I don't think there was a point where I didn't think I was coming back. I always thought I was coming back because of the type of injury.
"I've missed so much football. I just need to work hard hard and get back to the level where I was. I think I can do it. I felt good physically at Schalke, better than at the weekend, so I feel better and better as the weeks go on."
Wilshere, who will be suspended for the game against Fulham following his sending off against Manchester United, feels they have to find consistent good form if they are to challenge.
He said: "We normally go to Old Trafford and put in a better performance than we did. We want to challenge for the Premier League, but we're a bit far behind now. We really need to step it up."

Per their 20-year TV deal that's still awaiting approval from MLB, the Padres will have an approximately 20-percent stake in the newly created Fox regional sports network, this blog has learned from a major-league source.
An upfront payment to the Padres is still being negotiated, although in place are yearly rights fees that start at $30 million in 2012 -- nearly double last year's total -- and grow to $65 million to $70 million in the final year. The percentage increase in rights fees will not be the same each year.
Because the equity position doesn't establish fixed dividends or how much the Padres would receive for selling their shares, it's largely guesswork as to what the total economic value of the deal will be. At the high end, I've confirmed, the entire deal could pay the Padres $1.5 billion, which jibes with the $75 million average reported by USA Today's Bob Nightengale on Thursday. But that number assumes strong cash flow for Fox that, in the end, would mean cable subscribers in San Diego pay considerably higher rates over the life of the deal than they do now. Put another way, $1.5 billion represents an extreme best-case scenario for the Padres, or close to it.
All the same, the deal negotiated by Jeff Moorad represents a remarkable surge in actual revenue and potential revenue for the Padres, especially in light of their plunging TV ratings. Games on Channel 4 drew a 7.0 rating in 2007, followed by 4.2 in 2008, 3.8 in 2009, 5.5 in 2010 and 3.4 last year.
The deal also represents a selective jump in relative spending power, as the Padres get their infusion of TV money now, at a time when sports content is king in TV Land, while some rivals such as the Diamondbacks must wait a few years to broker a deal. In the end, however, the limitations of San Diego's TV market -- which ranks among MLB's bottom-five no matter how you slice it -- are likely to keep the Padres from moving far up the sport's revenue tree. Another day soon, I'll write more about how San Diego's TV market compares to the other 29 in MLB.
With the Padres planning to air spring training games on Fox by St. Patrick's Day, MLB's approval can't come too soon.

Does this meean that the games will now be televised on FSSW or another affiliate like that instead of Cox Cable. Please say YesReplyDelete
Yes, Padres games will be televised on a new Fox sports regional network. And telecasts should be available to both cable and Direct TV/satellite -- much more availability than the Channel 4 package. Then again, could be more expensive, too.ReplyDelete
I'm happy Mud is back. Makes the broadcast better during bad games.ReplyDelete

Talking with Family and Friends about Majors and Careers
Family and friends can be great resources as you explore your own major and career interests. Tell them what courses you enjoy and why. If they went to college, talk with them about what they studied and what it meant to them.
Ask them questions about their careers, how they got into them and how well they like them. And don't forget, they may have great connections to others who have experience with a range of majors and careers.
If your family and friends did not attend college, don't fret! The Offices of Advising Services and Career Development Services are available to help you figure things out and to provide you with additional support along the way.
It's also important to remember that the majority of professional positions require a college degree, but not any particular major. That means you, and your family and friends, should realize that your choice of major and your choice of career are not the same thing.
Your friends and family want what's best for you; the challenge is that only you can figure out what your intellectual and career interests are. Well-intentioned advice about your major and career decisions are helpful, but you should also consider factors like finding satisfaction in what you study and do.
So when getting advice from family and friends, be sure to consider it along with other sources of information. Just don't forget to say to yourself that when it comes to your choices of majors and career, "it's about me!"

I got a Zen Touch 2 (No GPS) a few weeks ago for my birthday. And, to be honest, I love it way more than my old Ipod Touch . However, the only issue I have with it is the lack of apps. Yes, some would say it doesn't make a difference as long as I can listen to music, but I would still like a few like the NYTimes, etc. And I would just like to solve this problem.
I know I can root it to get the android market, but getting the apps is not the problem, getting the apps to run is.
I've tried installing apk files straight from the devices internet browser, and it downloads without a problem. When I try to install it, it installs fine. When I go to run the app, it doesn't at all. It just says "The application *** *** (process com.***.***.activity) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
For example:
when I try to run "Haypi Kingdom HD", I get the error: "The application Haypi Kingdom HD (process com.haypi.kingdom.activity) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." With a Force Quit button.
somtimes, the apk file I get from the device's browser won't download because it says "unsuported content".
I've tried using other work arounds besides downloading it from the device's internet like using amazon appstore, blackmarket, pandaApp, and even the SlideMe app that creative recommends as an alternative. They still download, sometimes install, but won't run.. Even when I try to transfer the apk files from a computer.
I've tried restarting a few times, but no luck.
The only apps that were able to run were the few I managed to get from creative's ziio space.
I don't want to root my device until I can resolve this issue.
I'm usually tech savvy and can figure it out, but I'm at a loss as to what the issue is.
So, does anyone know what is wrong with my device? Or know how I can go about fixing it?
Note: For some reason now, I can't even run the amazon app store. I just get "Application Appstore (in process com.amazon.venezia) is not responding."

CLINTON — On Thursday night, the Anderson County Chamber of Commerce hosted a debate for the three candidates for Anderson County mayor and Hallerin Hilton Hill of NewsTalk 98.7 was the moderator. Incumbent Mayor Terry Frank, a Republican met challengers Jim Hackworth, a Democrat, and Independent candidate Bradley Rickett in The Ritz Theater in Clinton.
CLINTON — On Thursday night, the Anderson County Chamber of Commerce hosted a debate for the three candidates for Anderson County mayor and Hallerin Hilton Hill of NewsTalk 98.7 was the moderator. Incumbent Mayor Terry Frank, a Republican met challengers Jim Hackworth, a Democrat, and Independent candidate Bradley Rickett in The Ritz Theater in Clinton.
Hill began the debate by laying down the ground rules and telling the crowd and candidates how to behave.
"I like enthusiastic crowds ... at football games," Hill said. To the candidates, "When I say break, you break."
Each candidate was given three minutes to give opening remarks and one minute to respond to questions. The first candidate to field each question was then given a 30 second rebuttal period.
Frank was the first candidate to respond to the question about properly funding the new jail and not raising the property tax rate.
Frank said the new jail expansion is already open and the property tax rate was not increased. In fact, she said, in 2013 the tax rate was marginally decreased. She then used some of her time to say that Hackworth, while a county commissioner, voted for a 14-cent property tax rate increase in 1980.
Hackworth said that working together will help the jail to operate more efficiently. He stuck with a platform of communications and unity throughout the night and even quoted Abraham Lincoln several times. He also said he never voted for a tax rate increase while on the County Commission.
Rickett said that communications were a "big key" and that the county does not have that "key" now. He said he wants to look at ways to reduce the jail's budget.
Frank used her rebuttal time to remind Rickett that Maintenance of Effort laws prevent reduction of the jail's budget and that there are other ways to generate revenue for the jail. Maintenance of Effort involves laws that mandate that local funding not be reduced, but kept event or increased.
Hill then wanted to know how the candidates would address the perceived communications problems between the mayor's office and other county departments.
Hackworth was first to tackle the question and said the mayor needs to be a leader and not defy Commission requests and desires. Rickett said he wants to meet with everyone in the Anderson County Courthouse and get their ideas on improving communications. Frank said that she did not see any communication problems in her office and called the communications issues a "political complaint." Frank then said that county officials as whole is not communicating enough with the county's citizens.
The past year has seen some controversy and debate centered on the Andersonville Volunteer Fire Department and its subscription service. Hill asked the candidates for their comments on the issue.
Rickett said the subscription service is a "double-edged sword" and that he would support it only if it was done right. He said the service would have to be the cheapest possible for him to support it.
Frank said that she takes a "federalist view" of the issue and if the community wants the service, she supports it. She also acknowledged that the county has had some funding issues with volunteer fire departments within the county.
Hackworth echoed the other two candidates about listening to the people. He said it is clear that citizens want meetings and discussions on the issue and those meetings should be held. He said the issue has divided neighbors and families and that the county should work with volunteer fire departments so they don't need subscription services.
When it came to growth, housing, employment and retail development, Frank said Anderson County has done well and unemployment is down in the county. She said the best way to improve in those areas listed is to keep "taxes stabilized."
Hackworth wants to "ramp up the pace" in recruiting businesses and families to the county. He said all players from the state, regional, and local levels need to work together and be more aggressive to attract jobs. Rickett wants the county to work with Oak Ridge to help develop the approximately 1,700 acres of industrial space he said the city has available. He also said that the county only has about 60 acres available for industrial development.
Each candidate was given a chance to explain their plan to bring jobs to the county.
Hackworth said he wants a forum to bring people in to revisit available resources in Anderson County. He also wants to pursue contracts with companies looking to relocate and increase civility in the county government.
"A lack of civility drives people away," he said.
Rickett said that there are lots of businesses in California looking to relocate and that he wants to bring them all to Anderson County. He said he wants to aggressively "go after" companies looking for new homes.
Frank said that the mayor's office does not create jobs. She said the mayor needs to work with all players to create an environment that businesses want to relocate to and the jobs will follow.
When the question of retail development came up, Rickett said he wanted to bring in more industrial jobs that pay higher wages so families can pay their bills. Frank acknowledged that industrial development was important, but said housing is more important to retail growth.
"Retail developers count rooftops when they look into an area," Frank said.
Hackworth said he wants to attract higher paying jobs so people have money to spend on retail. He also wants the federal government to fund cleanup of the Department of Energy sites in Oak Ridge and tax increment financing (TIF) for new housing development, if that is legal.
In the interest of time, Hill combined the last three questions into a three-part question: how to get local businesses more work in Oak Ridge, the candidates' position on TIFs, and their positions on inmate labor.
Frank said she wants to network and get the word out about local business that can fill the needs of the DOE in Oak Ridge. She said she supports TIFs because they allow for infrastructure development.
All three candidates said inmate labor was "absolutely good" for the inmates and the county.
Hackworth said he wants to hold forums with DOE to meet with local businesses. He said he supports TIFs and said they work well.
Rickett said communication and networking are key to working in Oak Ridge and he supports TIFs as long as they are "good for the community."
All three candidates were given time to give closing statements and reemphasize their positions. Hackworth used his time to defend his voting record and say that he never voted for tax increases and thanked the crowd. Frank and Rickett also thanked the crowd and asked for their votes in the coming election.

Yeah I know, it sounds like the opening to a Jerry Seinfeld stand-up comedy routine. "So what's with bats? . . ."
Anyway, here's the punchline.
Two of their abilities are only made useful by abilities they don't possess.
Leech Life: "The user restores 172 health. Double if the target is Webbed."
Nocturnal Strike: "Always hits if the target is Blinded."
. . .But, but. . . the bat doesn't have abilities that either blind or web. What am I missing?
Seems to me that you absolutely have to team this pet with other pets to maximize damage and healing, because it's abilities aren't self sufficient. Either that or Blizz screwed up.

"Winner of the 2009 Eppie Award: Best Erotic eBook of the Year."
When passionate professor Conner Devlin meets oversexed student Emma Fiore, the sparks ignite: he'll train her to be his classroom sex slave, carrying out his every desire, while she gets to experience the forbidden pleasure of submissive love before her marriage to a dull and unfeeling man. But Emma's sizzling and insatiable desires soon overwhelm Conner and he finds himself hopelessly in love with his young submissive. Emma accepts him as her sexual Master, but will she have him as her real-life lover?Through the means of BDSM and the demands of extreme sex, Conner tries to break down the barriers between them and make Emma acknowledge her feelings. Their passions erupt in a cataclysm of raw emotion that rocks them both and fuses them in a transcendent love.
Told with intense honesty from the dominant's point of view, A Good Student gives a rare and searing look inside a man's heart as he's caught in the throes of a compelling and overwhelming love and passion, all his thoughts and feelings exposed. Listening to Conner's confessions is like having your own personal Master tell you everything he feels, with a poet's skill and a therapist's insight. You'll never look at the dynamics of D/s and a man's sexuality the same way again.

Didn't like it
ok i am officially covering my eyes while i write this. i am ashamed to write i bought this out of curiosity..honest! Here is my take on this: i didn't know its a story about a teacher and a student in school (collage). This is absolutely not my up of tea but i have been told some people are into this. If this is your fantasy, buy it.
There is no actual story just packed sexual content. The narrator should stick to stories like Casablanca because he sounds like Humphrey Bogart otherwise I kept imaging him like a sleazy old professor exploiting on a young girl. Couldn't get this thought out of my head!

An Erotic Eye-Opener!
I normally don't care for erotica by men because they seem to concentrate on the sex and miss all the tension and romance and inner feeling. And I especially don't "get" most BDSM which just seems like sadism to me. But I bought this book on the advice of some friends who said it would change my mind on both male authors and BDSM, and I must say they were right! This one was a real surprise and quite an erotic eye-opener, and I don't think I'll ever look at BDSM or men's erotica in quite the same way again.
The story's very sexual and very hot, but what makes it truly special is the character of the passionate but ne'er-do-well Professor Conner Devlin, the hero and narrator of the story. Devlin is three things that most men are not: sensitive, emotional, and articulate enough to communicate the emotions and feelings that drive him to have this illicit BDSM affair with a much younger student. Hearing Devlin's story is like taking a guided tour through a man's brain as he deals with lust and love and desire, and the trip is a lot more interesting and informative than you might imagine. His passions and emotions spill out of his story, and in his anguish and desire to possess his lover, we get a new appreciation of just how BDSM works as an expression of love to those who practice it.
The actors have done a lovely job with the performance, and the story is most definitely performed and not merely read. Peter Klein brings a wry, worldliness to Conner Devlin, and Alicia Roberts as Emma is his perfect foil in her semi-naivete and innocent-yet-knowing ways. As much as Conner pushes her into the relationship, she for her part pulls him in too, for her own reasons, and it's fascinating to see how this relationship, which a purely physical arrangement at the start, blossoms into an obsessive love almost etnirely on the basis of their sexual experiences.
This is one you can listen to over and over, always learning something new.

Interesting for a female
Any additional comments?
Interesting read, entertaining for a female and informative for a male who has never experienced or indulged in this kind of domineering sexual intensity. Average read however, based on the wealth of knowledge that can be gained from this topic and maybe if it was written from a females perspective that knowledge gap would be filled. Would recommend this book to a female though for her entertainment and also to hear her views to see if what he is doing is actually what is to be done.

A Good Student Deserves Excellent Grades
This book commences with a scene-setting that most others lack. It is both honest and sensitive to the complexities associated with BDSM start-up relationships and is delivered with total engagement by the performers (I cannot say 'readers' because they bring the developing relationship to life with deep authenticity).
Down at heel author working as part time lecturer. Younger student at Community College. Subtle revelations leading to disclosures of past experiences, issues explored. Honesty eventuates, and the combinations of needs being met to a certain extent.
All within an excellent text style reminiscent of Rattigan or even Fitzgerald, if only more people were alive to the quality of this particular genre.

Very Horny Stuff
Its always good to read stories that raise your libido & get you horny. This is very arousing. I was walking around the Botanical Gardens listening to my ipod with a huge smile on my face. I wish there were more like this!!

Stimulating and surprisingly sexy
This story constantly had me involved and titillated. Perhaps because I was a teacher with many frustrating days in the company of attractive young women... The reading was particularly effective, with the woman's voice being very provocative and sexy. The man's voice was unusual with its Bostonian accent, but it worked very well. I highly recommend this one!

Intense Passion
The author does an outstanding job of pulling you into each hot and steamy scene in this book. After every encounter you are left dry and panting for more. I have read many stories of Bondage and Submission but none that so accurately describes the intense desire a woman can have for this kind of sexual satisfaction. Emma truly has a hunger that cannot be satisfied by any "Normal" relationship. I could not help but wonder, no HOPE that this story was real. Everyone deserves to have at least one perfect "Love Slave" encounter in their lives and this is the perfect script to inspire us all. Gold stars also to the woman reader of Emma's part. She could make reading the New York phonebook sound stimulating !

The "Why" Behind the "How" of a BDSM Relationship
If you ever wondered what is the psychology at work inside a mind of a BDSM seducer, here is your fascinating answer. Contained within a delicious and methodically unfolding plot, the story's narrator explains things sometimes to the reader, and at other times quite lustfully yet tenderly to his subject/student during the course of her seduction. Both narrators use their voices with exquisite skill, especially at their most intimate moments. Erotically educational as well as thoroughly entertaining.

Absolutely Awsome book for this subject!
This is NOT your ordinary "cheap thrill" erotica, 3-5 predictable short story lines and poorly written. This book examines the internal thoughts, feelings, emotions, and passions of a dominate/submissive relationship. My wife and I will occasionally experiment with a dominate/submissive type sex play and she always asks me what is going through my head, what am I thinking while in the dominate role to better understand what parts are erotic for me and why. When I listened to this book, I finally found a tool that I could use to help her understand not only what goes through a dominates mind, but she also got to hear the "students" character of being a submissive and how it might relate to her when she assumes that role.
After hearing this book I had to listen with her so I could point out my parallel thoughts, feelings and emotions when playing a dominate role. It really helped her understand more about what excited me about being a dominate, therefore, could relate better when playing like that.
It was also nice to see the loving, tender, caring and emotional side of a dominate person. So many BDSM stories seem to focus on more "cruelty" than developing the personalities, feelings and emotions that the author develops with these characters. It is SO refreshing to have a book so well written that when listening can suck you right into the scene, grip you and not let you go. The story line is for the most part, very believable which also helped keep my attention.
Performance wise, I thought the female reader did and extraordinary job. However, I didn't like the male readers voice and I had to work a little for it not to distract me. He performed/read well it's just his voice sounded too old for the character making me think at times he sounded more like a "dirty old man" with a very young girl, Might have been a little better with a little "younger" sounding voice. But again well performed and read.
There has to be more from this author, please!

Savage and passionate. Mabeuse invites us inside.
Mabeuse gives his readers a rare and precious gift: an engraved invitation into the mind and soul of a dominant man languishing in his world of restraint. In A Good Student, he enthralls the reader by creating complex, entirely human characters and then permitting us to eavesdrop on their private hopes, fears, doubts and desires. No, not eavesdrop; that implies an uninvited observer. Listening to Peter Klein's nuanced performance, I felt like a priest summoned to the confessional of Mabeuse's darkest imagination. I felt my heart leap into my throat each time the Professor felt an impulse to take just a little bit more from Emma and then dared to push her just a little bit farther.
Mabeuse certainly pushed me over the edge, and the fall was glorious. He's quite cunning in his use of fluid rhythms and elegant diction, lulling me with the beauty of his writing, only to cause my breathing to hitch with the stark, graphic language men and women employ at their most primal moments. Be warned: Mabeuse surreptitiously inserts a mainline into his readers instincts, only to inject his literary stimulants straight into that most powerful erotic organ: the mind.
Unlike other authors who seek to affect their readers while leaving themselves impenetrable, Mabeuse opens a two-way door to erotic struggle and surrender. Having obtained consent, he takes over the reader's imagination and remains in control through the entire book. But he also humbly shares his secrets with us, entrusting his vulnerabilities to our care: "I wanted her to know who I was inside. I wrote porn and I pretended to look down on it. But when I wrote, I poured my heart and soul into the page, and I knew it showed." It certainly does, Professor Mabeuse. It certainly does.

In his book Power and Constraint, Jack Goldsmith notes that the military responded to the War in Vietnam, "which left the U.S. military at the lowest point in its history . . . with a renewed emphasis in instruction and training in military honor, ethics, and morality at West Point and other officer-training grounds." Goldsmith connects this emphasis on honor, ethics, and morality to the rise of "lawfare" — the relatively recent phenomenon of law and lawyers significantly affecting the conduct of war. And Goldsmith describes the leading role that Gen. David Petraeus played in the rise of lawfare.
Are those who enter the military from West Point and other officer-training grounds more honorable these days? I don't know. The military is more legalistic and more politically correct, but that's not the same thing.
I suspect that today's military officers, including its top leaders, behave with approximately the same amount of honor as their predecessors from the Vietnam era and before. This wouldn't be surprising. The politics of an institution sometimes changes in a generation, but human nature doesn't.

Atlanta seminary delays move to Morris Brown College building amid uncertainty about finances
ATLANTA (AP) — An Atlanta seminary is delaying its planned move to a location at Morris Brown College until it can assess how the school's financial problems might affect the seminary.
The Interdenominational Theological Center recently spent $400,000 improving Morris Brown's student center, planning to move classes there while the religious school underwent major renovations.
Given Morris Brown's recent bankruptcy filing, seminary officials say they're trying to figure out their next steps.
The historically black Atlanta college faces possible foreclosure. Court records show that Morris Brown has not paid some of its employees for months.
Chicago Cardinal George to start chemotherapy in latest cancer fight
CHICAGO (AP) — Cardinal Francis George, in his second bout with cancer, said he feels anxious but ready to begin chemotherapy.
"Well, I'm anticipating it a little bit, but otherwise, right now, I'm feeling good," he said.
He made the comments last Saturday before Mass at St. Joseph Parish, a Roman Catholic church on the South Side that was celebrating its 125th anniversary. George said he hoped to keep as many commitments as possible.
Six years ago, surgeons removed his bladder, prostate and part of his right ureter following the discovery that he had bladder cancer. Last month, he announced cancer had been found in his right kidney and liver.
His chemotherapy treatment is slated to begin Wednesday and last four months.
"I haven't been through it before. I didn't have chemo when I had bladder cancer the first time, so I don't know what to expect," said George, former president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. "It's different for everybody, and so with the help of God, and a lot of prayers of an awful lot of people, I'm sure it'll be all right."
George, 75, leads the Chicago archdiocese, which serves more than 2 million Roman Catholics. He has said he'll scale back his public schedule during the third week of each three-week treatment session.
New global association aims to improve religion reporting
BELLAGIO, Italy — A new international journalism group has been formed to advance reporting on religion.
The International Association of Religion Journalists was founded by reporters from 23 countries during a meeting at The Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center in Italy.
The group this week launched the English-language site theiarj.org to provide a range of resources, from statistics on religion in various countries to background on religious and ethnic conflicts.
Maria Lopez, senior religion writer at La Vanguardia, in Barcelona, Spain, said the goal is to help journalists write "with accuracy, fairness and balance" on a complex topic.
The International Center for Journalists and the Association of Religion Data Archives are partners in the project.
The religion reporting group plans next to launch a website in Arabic.
Conn. kids increasingly exempted from pre-school vaccines, citing medical, religious reasons
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — An increasing number of Connecticut students are being exempted from vaccinations as parents cite allergic reactions or religious prohibitions.
According to the state Department of Public Health, 1,056 children entering kindergarten and seventh grade last year received exemptions. That's up by 127 percent increase from 2003, when the state recorded 465 such exemptions.
Vaccination coverage in Connecticut still remains high, with more than 97 percent receiving various vaccinations.
A medical exemption excuses a child because of an allergic, pediatric cancer or HIV or other immune disorders.
State health officials say 111 cases of pertussis, a contagious bacterial disease, have been reported this year and that the state could reach a 10-year high. Last year, there were 68 cases.
Pa. man accused of growing marijuana says he didn't know it was on church property
GROVE CITY, Pa. (AP) — A western Pennsylvania man who was arrested and charged with growing marijuana on a church's property says he had no idea who the land belonged to.
State police arrested 28-year-old Jason Como last week after the Beloved Disciples Church reported that two suspected marijuana plants were growing on their property in Grove City, about 60 miles north of Pittsburgh.
Como says he's a Christian and that he wouldn't have planted the pot there if he'd known the land belonged to a church. Como also says it was for personal use.
Authorities found a small path that led from the plants to the backyard of a nearby home.
Como was charged with manufacturing and cultivating a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
South Georgia church collapses into pile of rubble; no injuries reported
THOMASVILLE, Ga. (AP) — Members of a south Georgia congregation are planning their next steps after their church building collapsed.
Church members gathered on Labor Day morning at a pile of rubble that housed St. Thomas AME Church in Thomasville for the past 88 years.
Children playing nearby heard a loud noise coming from the direction of the church last Saturday afternoon.
Pastor Clement Choice's wife, Pat, says church members then discovered that the roof had fallen into to the middle of the building.
No one was injured. Authorities say three nearby houses were evacuated after the collapse when it was feared the church bell tower might fall onto a transformer.
Church members said they've had concerns about structural issues, and had been holding services elsewhere in recent months.
Ex-Harvest Fellowship nondenominational megachurch site in San Antonio sold for development
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A former megachurch complex in San Antonio has been sold as the congregation of about 3,000 dwindled to a couple of hundred.
Harvest Fellowship Community Church in late August sold the buildings and property to a development company. The nondenominational, evangelical church's Loop 1604 site includes 60,000 square feet of facility space.
Terms of the deal with 1604 TC LP haven't been released.
Elder David Keith says there are not enough members to support the buildings and the mortgage. Keith says the congregation, which will worship at the site through 2013 as part of a lease, hopes to operate without debt.
Membership began to decline after Senior Pastor Peter Spencer, who founded the church in 1988, left in 2003.

Brazil Selects First Black Supreme Court President Joaquim Barbosa
BRASILIA – Joaquim Barbosa was sworn him on Thursday, making him the first black justice to head Brazil's Supreme Court.
The 58-year-old became the first ever to serve on the court when he joined in 2003, even though more than half of the country's 192 million people identify themselves as having African descent.
Barbosa was elected in October to a two-year tenure as Supreme Court President. His election was a foregone conclusion since the court's presidency always goes to the justice who has served on the bench the longest.
Over the past several weeks he gained national and international renown presiding over a high-profile corruption trial involving a congressional cash-for-votes scheme. The court has convicted 25 people including the fort chief of staff of ex-President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
President Dilma Rousseff, members of her Cabinet, state governors, congressional leaders and several sports and entertainment personalities were present at Barbosa's swearing in.
"The multiculturalism that characterizes the Brazilian people is evident here today with Joaquim Barbosa heading the highest court of the land," said Ophir Cavalcante, president of the Brazilian Bar Association in a speech during the swearing in ceremony.
Valter Silveiro, coordinator of the Center for Afro-Brazilian Studies of the University of Sao Carlos, believes Barbosa as a Supreme Court president "has a strong symbolic impact for Brazilian blacks."
"The new generation of blacks will have the opportunity that my generation never had — of seeing a black man presiding over one of the three branches of government."
Silveiro also stated Barbosa's history, background and achievements "strengthen affirmative action programs that try to increase the presence of blacks in the country's universities."
Barbosa was born in the small town of Paracatu in Minas Gerais state, where his father worked as a bricklayer. When he was 16 he went to the capital, Brasilia, to study. He worked as a cleaner and a typesetter at the Senate to pay for his studies at the University of Brasilia's law school.
After graduating he was hired by the Foreign Ministry and served three years at the Brazilian Embassy in Finland.
A former federal prosecutor, Barbosa taught law at Rio de Janeiro State University and was a visiting scholar at the Human Rights Institute of Columbia University's law school in New York and the UCLA law school in California.

Priest Who
Spent Final Hours with Terri Schiavo to Observe Anniversary of Her Passing;
Available for Comment
Staten Island, NY – Fr. Frank
Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, President of the National
Pro-Life Religious Council, and a bedside witness to what he described as the
murder of Terri Schiavo, will be available for comment about the second
anniversary of Terri's death. Terri died on March 31, 2005.
Fr. Pavone became a familiar
figure in the court-ordered dehydration of Terri Schiavo as a friend of her
family, and one of the few people who was on Terri's visitors' list and
therefore able to access her room. He appeared frequently in the media on
the family's behalf during the ordeal. Following Terri's passing, Fr.
Pavone was blunt in his description of her final hours as "an agony unlike
anything I have ever seen" and has since not backed down from his
characterization of her death as murder.
Fr. Pavone preached at Terri's
funeral Mass and will preach at her second anniversary memorial Mass.
Priests for Life is the
nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and
euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Well, it appears that this time we've dodged the bullet. Tropical Storm Fay at the time of this writing has turned to the northeast. We'll get some rain and some breezes, but it doesn't look as if we'll get much more. We had some storms last week and the week before and a lot more wind than it's thought we'll have this week. Some people somewhere will be getting the brunt of the winds, rains and along the coast, significant storm surges. That is unfortunate. I pray that not many, if any, are hurt by the storm.

Roy gets 55 years for near-fatal beating of boyBy LARISSA MULKERN
Special to the Union Leader
April 02. 2013 9:53PM
OSSIPEE— The man convicted in the near-fatal beating of a toddler will spend up to 55 years in state prison.
"For the emotional and physical pain he caused to my son and family, I believe Justin Roy should serve life for the scars and emotional damage my son will carry for life," Edward Skidgel Jr., said through sobs at the 34-year-old Roy's sentencing hearing in Carroll County Superior Court Tuesday.
Roy was charged with taking his then-girlfriend's son, Strider, 2 1/2 at the time, into a work shed in the middle of the night and beating him, causing life-threatening injuries to his abdomen, and bruises and burns to other parts of the boy's body in December 2011.
Strider and his brother, Gallagher, are now in the custody of Skidgel, their biological father, and living with grandparents Lanette and Larry Grant in Maine.
Roy, formerly of Albany, was also convicted of assaulting Strider's older brother, Zander, who was 7 at the time, by jumping on his legs and pushing him into a coffee table. Zander is living with his maternal grandmother and step-grandfather in New Hampshire.
While he did not take the stand in his defense during trial, Roy addressed Judge Steven Houran prior to sentencing.
"I never wished the children ill will; they didn't deserve what they got," he said, adding that there were "a lot of things not touched on" during the trial. "There is a lot more to this story that needs to be brought out."
"This has been a living nightmare. Never in a million years I thought I would find myself in these shoes," said Roy.
Prosecutor and Deputy County Attorney Susan Boone requested a sentence of 27 to 64 years; the defense recommended 12 to 25 years. After Roy's statement, Boone said Roy was declaring himself a victim.
"The defendant may not appreciate how close he came to the death penalty if that little boy had died," she said.
The victims' mother, Heather Downs, has pleaded guilty to one count of endangering a child and one count of witness tampering. She testified for the state during Roy's trial. She is scheduled to be sentenced April 8.
Roy, represented by public defenders Wade Harwood and Howard Clayman, was found guilty Feb. 4 on a total of 10 counts, including felony kidnapping, criminal restraint and first- and second-degree assault.
Judge Houran said Tuesday one statement during the trial particularly struck him. The morning after the assaults, in a response to a text message, Roy stated he had "snapped this morning but I didn't hurt anyone."
For the simple assault charge involving Gallagher, Houran sentenced Roy to one to two years; he was given credit for 364 days time served. A second simple assault charge alleging he kicked Strider in the buttocks came with a one- to two-year jail term. Roy will serve three to six years on two second-degree assault convictions for jumping on and pushing Zander into a coffee table. Those two sentences will be served consecutively.
The most serious assault charges involve Strider. Houran sentenced Roy on two counts of kidnapping, each with a 7 1/2- to 15-year term, to be served concurrently. And for one count of first-degree assault against Strider, Roy was sentenced to 10 to 30 years in prison.
Roy is forbidden to have contact with children under 18. Boone said Roy would be required to register as a sex offender after his release from prison.
If Roy remains on good behavior and completes all recommended classes or treatments, he may be eligible for parole after 22 1/2 years. The maximum jail term is 55 years.
Roy's mother, Rita Roy, said Tuesday that Bedford-based attorney Shawn Sweeney has been retained to pursue an appeal of the conviction.

Leading Australian engineering solutions provider puts Hyper-V on hyperdrive and enables seamless migration and upgrades with Fusion ioMemory solutions.
The Challenge
RCR Tomlinson Ltd is a leading integrated engineering solutions provider, providing turnkey solutions to the Mining, Energy, Resources, and Power sectors throughout the Asia Pacific region.
Stacey Squire, ITC Infrastructure Manager for RCR Tomlinson described the challenge his team faced: "The diversity of our operations places complicated demands on IT, requiring consolidation to a single location. In addition, we do as much as we can with the least hardware possible. I don't want to have lots of servers and failure points. We are very virtualized-centric, standardizing on a consistent blade environment."
RCR Tomlinson needed a solution that:
The Solution
Stacey told us about his first experience with Fusion ioMemory in late 2010 when RCR Tomlinson was looking for a way to overcome slow model loading that engineers were experiencing when using programs like Autodesk Inventor, Nevis Works, and AutoCAD.
"When our data sets exceeded local RAM capacity, model-loading really slowed down. We figured we could use Fusion ioMemory as a page swap and get a small boost. With SanDisk's Fusion ioMemory, the large jobs actually outperformed smaller jobs running directly out of RAM, and the cost of the device was about 1/8th the cost of the same capacity RAM," Stacey said. "This immense performance opened our eyes to the possibilities of using Fusion ioMemory for our mission-critical virtualized applications."
Stacey Squire,
ITC Infrastructure Manager RCR Tomlinson
A Consistently Positive User Experience with Improved Productivity
RCR Tomlinson operates in multiple sectors across a wide geography. The team decided to centralize operations to improve hardware efficiency, create a common user experience, and streamline infrastructure management. Stacey's team virtualized all of RCR Tomlinson's business applications on blade servers with Microsoft Hyper-V. The virtualization abstraction layer consolidated hardware but complicated the delivery of high-performance workloads.
Enter SanDisk. Stacey's team migrated virtual machine images from hard disks to Fusion ioMemoryTM ioDrive®2 cards. The results were even better than Stacey expected.
For example, a large SAP OpenText archive that historically took three hours to run (and which would sometimes simply stall) ran in just 20 minutes on the SanDisk- powered 4-processor blade.
Stacey Squire,
ITC Infrastructure Manager RCR Tomlinson
A purchasing report completed in just 10 seconds compared to 56 seconds:
Eliminating the I/O bottleneck also freed system resources for the rest of the staff. RCR Tomlinson benchmarked against a disk-based RAID 10 LUN with just 2 users. Performance slowed to a crawl for any application that needed to access that LUN. The SanDisk-powered production system supports 250+ users without any perceptible slowdown for other applications.
Stacey noted how this affected RCR Tomlinson's workforce: "Employees can get more work done, and be armed with the reports they need in minutes instead of hours."
The ioDrive2 cards also increased the concurrent user load of Microsoft SharePoint by 3X.
Stacey Squire,
ITC Infrastructure Manager RCR Tomlinson
Enhancing Hyper-V Efficiency
Stacey noted how Fusion ioMemory enhanced many benefits of Hyper-V, including the following:
Seamless Migration and Upgrades
Stacey said, "The speed of migration between blades and the ioDrive2 cards is absolutely seamless to the end users. When we moved our 700GB SQL Server SAP data warehouse to the new servers, there wasn't even a blip of an interruption."
High Availability Without a SAN
Stacey explained, "Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V Live Migration has given us server-based redundancy." At the same time, the Fusion ioMemory solution's Adaptive Flashback feature eliminates the need for in-server redundancy.
Seamless Live Migration
Stacey said, "Fusion ioMemory is a perfect addition to our virtualized blade environment. Adding high-performance flash memory allows us to dynamically and seamlessly move virtual machines as needed, making maintenance easy, and resulting in a powerful, agile, and highly efficient system."
Cost Reduction
Stacey stated, "Fusion ioMemory greatly increases CPU efficiency, which means we can really get the value out of our blade server investment and consolidate more effectively. Without ioDrive cards, our only options would be to expand further in the blade enclosure or use fibre-attached storage, both at a high cost without nearing the performance of the ioDrive cards. At the same time, Hyper-V allows us to virtualize without the VMware licensing costs."
Implementing Fusion ioMemory gave RCR Tomlinson a powerful and efficient virtualized infrastructure with the following benefits:
