Bad picture and a chutney for JFI
This chutney was made months ago...i still kept the pics in the hope of liking it better...but i am still yet to change my mind. But...JFI is here, the theme is tamarind and one of chicks whom i really like a lot (actually a bit nervous of....to tell u the truth) is hosting it...yep! it is the babe who blogs in Live to Eat ..so i fished it out and am sending it to her...coz. i am on to cooking some wacko food these days ...but i cannot not participate in an event held by her...so here it is Siggy
Red Cabbage - a big chunk
Green chillies - 9-10 (yeah..i like it hot)
Garlic - 4 cloves
Tamarind - lemon size (soak for 30 mts)
Salt - to taste
Mustard Seeds, Urad Dal,Chana Dal - 1 tsp. each
Red Chilli,Whole - 1
Oil - 1 tbls, 2 tsp.
1. Saute the cabbage,green chilli,garlic in a tbls of oil..till the raw smell of the cabbage goes.
2. Add the tamarind soaked in water...and dump it in the blender to make the chutney. Do make it chunky...smooth..really defeats the purpose...as usual...a hand mixer will be better..grrr....
3. Add the above to a bowl..stir in the salt.
4. Heat 2 tsp. of oil...and do tadka with the mustard seeds, urad dal, chana dal and red-chilli...and plop it on the chutney.
I ate this with dosa...would be good as a side with rice too. Jeeves refused to touch it...and it defeated the darn purpose of this chutney...as i wanted him to eat the red-cabbage...oh well!!

I don't see anything wrong with the photo! Chutney is made of red cabbage, so it looks it.
Looks great girl, made a little less liquid would have been better but not bad to soak up with dosa!:))

Hi Rajitha, I wrote a really long comment a while ago but got a message saying blogger is not available :(
Anyways, the gist was this: As much as I admire the beautiful pics that some bloggers have, I just scoop the food onto a bowl/plate and keep clicking in the hope that atleast one of those will look decent enough :) Anyways, I don't find anything wrong with this chutney picture.
Love the idea of a cabbage chutney. You shouldn't have told Jeeves that it was cabbage until after he tasted it... :) that's what I do with my husband.
Of course you need to send in an entry for Sig's event.. after all that nagging you did for the Soy event and made her try tofu for the first time :D

The Walrus Says
Lenore MacLeish "now of Philadelphia, but always of Jamestown in my heart" and Carol Fuques of Coventry remember Blanche Gladding as Dr. Ceppi's nurse. Mary-Alice Lurgio writes, "Peter Ceppi's father's nurse was Blanche Gladding, and she was terrific!" Robyn Reilly Borges emailed, "Called my mom, Bonnie Reilly, to find the answer to this one. His nurse was Blanche Gladding. I don't remember her, but he was my family doctor until I was 2 or so." Shirley Hull called with the answer and said that Blanche's sister, Alice, was the home economics teacher at the school. She also added that during the 50s Miss Elizabeth Murphy was the 6th grade teacher. Linda Albaugh knew the answer and added "Mrs. Leonard's 5&10 store was never where the bank is now. It was where Del Nero's is now. Jack bought toy soldiers there when he was a kid." John Wright e-mailed that Blanche's and Alice's dad was Ben Gladding who ran a small grocery store at the corner of Narragansett and Howland avenues.Mary Murchie called saying that her mother, Katherine Arnold, would fill in when Blanche needed a day off. Marilyn Dutton phoned to say that in the 50s Mary Merritt replaced Blanche if she couldn't work. Marilyn said that she babysat for Mary's children when she filled in at the doctor's office.
Peter C. Pemantell writes, "How many people remember the St. Mark Minstrel Shows at the Recreation Center every year? I was in the show for four years and used to sing a solo. For three years I was the master of ceremonies in the childrens' portion of the show. I also remember Dither Dowling being in the shows, they were a lot of fun. I also recall a show that was put on and I don't remember by whom, but the 4 and 1 Rangers performed. The band consisted of some of the Dutton family and Eddie Woodson played guitar. It was either Rochelle or Betty Dutton who was the number 1 girl plus the 4 guys. Good Ole Days in Jamestown!"
Linda Albaugh to Peter: What business was where Cumberland Farms is now?
Bob Clarke has been doing some reminiscing: "Dang! I must be getting old, but at least I can still remember this stuff! Here's some follow-up to last week's column. Pinto's last location was in the building midway up the south side of Narragansett Ave across from Moll's Garage (currently the Conanicut Marine Store). Pinto's is now the home to the Chemical Company. The Pinto brothers lived on the north side of Union St. directly behind the store. Nice commute! They still had the best penny candy. Their store building became the first home of Baker's Pharmacy after the Pintos closed up shop. Just a couple doors up the street, past Lyons Market (now Linda Wallace's real estate office and Freddie's House of Pizza) was Mr. Kinkaid's watch/clock repair shop. Prior to that, it was the site of Mr. Brazil's shoe store. Both were in the space now occupied by the band stand at the Narragansett Cafe. Ever wonder what that door to the left of the main entrance was for? It was a separate store front. After the watch shop closed, Fuzzy Andreozzi and Jim Donnelly opened the Sandwich Stop in 1977. Across the street from them, on the north side of Narragansett Ave, was the old State highway barn, now the town parking lot. Moving downhill, George Crawford's gift shop, The Seahorse, was in the building most recently occupied by the Century 21 real estate office. Next downhill was the Jamestown Bridge Authority building. Fuzzy moved his business in there in the 80s. We now know it as the Jamestown Oyster Bar. And that mini trip around the block brings us back to Moll's Garage.
In response to Peter Pemantell's question, the only nurse I remember Dr. Ceppi having was Blanche Gladding. She was always so sweet."
The Jamestown Book Discussion groups will meet at the library Monday at 7 p.m. and Tuesday at 1 p.m. to discuss "Out Stealing Horses" by Per Petterson. Summer hours are now in effect at the library. It will be closed on July 3 and 4. Sunday hours have ended and will be resumed on September 13. Summer Saturday hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
...........I tell myself that I'm so happy to be loving you
There are few things as fascinating as reading old newspapers. Soon one realizes that some things never change. A copy of the Jamestown Town Crier for August 14, 1926 was left at the Press office last week. It was published on Saturdays and it cost 5 cents.
Front page stories included a long feature on the Carr Homestead, built in 1776; the Jamestown Garden Club's cooperation in helping to abolish billboards; the Cotilion at the Jamestown Casino was an innovation and greatly enjoyed by the younger dancers; the Women's Auxiliary of St. Matthew's Church held a successful bazaar; and the Mother's Gridley Auxiliary, No. 11, United Spanish War Veterans of New Bedford was entertained by Mrs. Jessie Tefft at her home on High Street.
Personal mentions included: Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Knowles had been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Knowles and have left by motor for Cleveland, Mr. and Mrs. Jamieson and their daughter, Cornelia, were here for the summer at the Merrill cottage on Clarke Street, Mrs. R. MacDonald had returned from a two weeks visit in Boston and Mr. Clarence King spent the day in Providence.
On page 8 was a poem by J.C. Drome entitled "It Isn't Your Town It's You."
If you want to live in the kind of a town
Like the kind of a town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip,
And start on a long, long hike.
You will find elsewhere, what you left behind-
There is nothing that is really new;
It's a knock at yourself when you knock at your town,
For it isn't your town, it's you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest someody else gets ahead;
Where everyone works and nobody shirks
You can raise a town from the dead.
And if while you make your personal stake
Your neighbor can make his, too
Your town will be what you want it to be,
For it isn't your town, it's you.
Henreee, Henry............Coming mother!
June is National Candy Month.

SFIEC Students Make Holidays Brighter for Foster Kids
This season, over 50 San Francisco Institute of Esthetics and Cosmetology (SFIEC) students have teamed up with iFoster to offer provide free hair cuts, discounted color services, facials, and more for foster families.
"iFoster is very grateful for the wonderful services SFIEC is providing to our foster children and youth this holiday season", says Serita Cox, Executive Director of iFoster. "Having SFIEC's professionals share their time and expertise with our foster families can change lives, both in terms of outward appearance as well as the self-confidence that comes with knowing the community is supporting them."
iFoster launched in October of 2010 to bring the heroic caregivers and support organizations in foster care, kinship care, guardianship, adoption and juvenile justice together in one online community. iFoster's focus is helping to close the economic gap between what it costs to raise a child ($1,086/month) and what child welfare and social services can provide to caregivers (less than 50% and 25% respectively).
Using the power of a growing community, now 20,000 members strong and collectively reaching nearly 2 million children and youth, iFoster searches, negotiates, conducts due diligence and brings in resources that meet the community's biggest needs.
One of SFIEC's top priorities is creating a culture of giving, and iFoster was more than happy to partner. "Our students understand how fortunate they are not only to have access to the basic necessities, but also to prepare for a career they love," says Deedee Crossett, SFIEC Dean.
"SFIEC wishes to thank all who are reaching out this year to help make the holidays special for foster families," says Crossett. The SFIEC services will be available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays throughout the season. For more information, please call (415) 355-1734 or visit online at www.sfiec.edu.

Al Gordon, an Emmy Award-winning comedy writer who spent much of his more than 40-year career writing for Jack Benny's penny-pinching, vain and perennially 39-year-old persona, has died. He was 89.
Gordon died Wednesday of age-related causes at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, said his son, Neil.
In a career that began after World War II and included writing for Eddie Cantor's radio show, Gordon soon teamed with comedy writer Hal Goldman.

|Diamondbacks | Coaching staff to remain in place through 2013
Sat, 05 Nov 2011 11:10:49 -0700
The Arizona Diamondbacks have extended the contracts of most of the members of manager Kirk Gibson's coaching staff for an additional year. First base coach Eric Young, third base coach Matt Williams, bench coach Alan Trammell, bullpen coach Glenn Sherlock and pitching coach Charles Nagy had their contracts extended through the 2013 season. Hitting coach Don Baylor has not yet received an extension because he is managing a winter ball team in Venezuela and the Diamondbacks have been unable to contact him. However, general manager Kevin Towers said the team will extend Baylor's contract as soon as possible.

P A R A S H A T H A S H A V U A H Devarim 5760 Deuteronomy 1:1 - 3:22
The text of the parashah and haftarah is available online. Visit: http://learn.jtsa.edu/topics/parashah/5760/devarim.shtml
This week's commentary was written by Rabbi Joshua Heller, director of distance learning and educational technology at JTS.
Next week, Jews around the world will observe Tisha B'av, mourning the destruction of the First and Second Temples and commemorating many other tragedies of Jewish history. The literary centerpiece of the holiday is the book of Lamentations, Eikha, which mourns the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem and the exile of the Jewish people from its land. The book's refrain is the word "Eikha," asking the question "How could it be?"--"How could it be that the teeming city lay desolate, that God rejected God's people?" (Lam 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 4:2)
Devarim, the Torah portion this week, contains a premonition of that sentiment of doom. Moses proclaims what would seem to be wonderful news, or at worst a mixed blessing: the Jewish people have grown so numerous that Moses no longer has the stamina to serve as its sole judge and dispense justice to the whole nation.
Rabbinic legend explains that with each legal case, the parties multiplied witnesses and arguments, and brought new evidence after the cases would have appeared to have been closed, so that the only way to hear them all was to appoint judges and leaders who could share the burden. Our reading of the situation, however, is transformed from one of administrative overload to one of religious pathos when Moses uses this the striking, tragic word, asking "Eikha-- How can I bear unaided the trouble of you, and the burden, and the bickering?" (Deuteronomy 1:12) Our musical tradition accentuates the negative connotation of the word, as that single verse is read in the same uniquely haunting melody reserved for the mournful book of Eikha. There is, as we will see, a special significance to the link between the "Eikha" of this parasha and the "Eikha" of Tisha B'av.
The word "Eikha" by its very meaning suggests the asking
of a rhetorical question. The listeners and readers of
the book were keenly aware of the devastation its author
described, and he did not provide detailed answers to the
question of "why." Even though certain national tragedies
defy full explanation, those who heard his lamentation had
previously heard many prophetic warnings about Israel's
misdeeds, whether ritual, moral, or political, which led it to destruction.
For the sake of later generations, the sages of the Talmud
(B.T. Yoma 9b) felt it necessary to state the specific
reasons why each destruction befell the Jewish people, and
those reasons still resonate today. The reason for the
destruction of the Second Temple was baseless hatred among
sects within Judaism. The reasons for the destruction of
the First Temple seem more distant: "Why was the First
Temple destroyed? Because of idolatry, sexual impropriety, and bloodshed ... the spilling of innocent blood." Worship of material things, and the desanctification of human physical relationships, are still with us. Unfortunately, our American society bears, as well, the stain of the spilling of innocent blood, in the execution of those who may not have received their proper day in court.
One need only open a newspaper or watch televised news to read with regularity about those who are freed from death row or long prison terms, because new evidence comes to light, or alternatively, cases where evidence which might prove innocence is not considered because incompetent counsel did not present at the time of an initial trial. Most people convicted of crimes are guilty, and I have no illusions about the fact that lately, some with cynical motives have adopted a vocal stance on this issue primarily because it advances a particular political agenda. Nonetheless, the fundamental question of justice involved transcends any current political battle. Indeed, it is this very question which caused Moses to initiate the word "Eikha."
Moses, in this week's Torah portion, recounts that he faced the possibility of an overloaded judicial system in which not every plea could be heard and considered, in which one side might bear an unfair advantage, where a party might return the next day with new evidence, which he would be unable to hear. Moses described it using the rhetorical terminology of Eikha, which for us is loaded with all the poignancy of a civilization in ruins, and he responded to his question of "Eikha?"--"Where is justice?" by creating a system of judges, and giving them guidelines to ensure that all parties were represented appropriately and treated fairly, no matter what their social position. It is as if Moses recognized that indeed, innocent blood spilled by the courts is the first sign of a society headed towards the destruction of "Eikha."
Those who take the Jewish tradition as their ethical compass may have honest disagreements over the moral and social appropriateness of capital punishment in our modern society. Rabbinic law never struck it from the books completely, only setting such strict guidelines that it would in practice be quite difficult to impose in all but a few of the most clear-cut cases. Our sages recognized the need for the strict rule of law, but they furthermore recognized that any human court is fallible, so they declared that even as the condemned is led to the place of his execution:
"If someone at the court says, 'I can argue in his defense' flags are waved and the horseman rides out to stop them. Even if he himself says 'I can argue in my defense,' they return him to the courts, as many times as are necessary, as long as there is any substance to his claim." (M. Sanhedrin 6:1).
American law is not Jewish law, nor is it the place of the Jewish community to attempt to impose the rabbinic rules of evidence and argumentation onto secular society. We are, however, bound to learn and to teach the lessons of our tradition, and our history, and we have learned that a society which ignores evidence of innocence before applying punishment cannot be a just society. One of the most powerful lessons of the Torah, and of Tisha B'av, is that any society which forsakes real justice for the sake of administrative expediency or political maneuvering will find itself asking the plaintive question: "Eikha."
May this be the last year we must ask that question. Shabbat Shalom.

On Baseball: Fisher Cats' McGuire responding nicelyIAN CLARK
August 29. 2013 10:17PM
MANCHESTER -- Deck McGuire's climb out of the shadow of 2012 is almost complete.
The New Hampshire Fisher Cats starting pitcher struggled to a 5-15 record with an ERA of 5.88 in his first full season of Double-A baseball a year ago.
McGuire will start tonight for the Fisher Cats at Binghamton, carrying a record of 9-9 and ERA of 4.96.
"Last year was tough as everybody knows. (This year) was a chance to come in fresh for a new season and build off the way last year finished," McGuire said prior to Thursday night's regular-season home finale against Portland. "This year, all year long it's been finding a comfort zone over the course of my 25, 26 starts."
McGuire was 5-9 a month ago. But in his last five outings (four starts and a relief appearance) he has gone 4-0 with a 3.00 ERA and recorded his first complete game of the year.
"It's been going well. It's been a culmination of everything we've worked on all year long," McGuire said. "It's been a nice stretch to finish up the year."
Fisher Cats manager Gary Allenson said that McGuire has been doing all the little things well in his recent span of success.
"He's gotten ahead (in the count) better. He's pitched down in the zone better and he's mixed his pitches very well," Allenson said. "It's one those things where you mix it up, not always throwing a fastball on a fastball count, good things happen and that's what he's done."
The 6-foot-6, 24-year-old from Richmond, Va., understands that many folks might look at his .500 record and just-under-five ERA as another down year. But that's not how McGuire sees it.
"I thought it was a really good year. I know numbers lie a lot," he said. "There are times this year where they weren't where I wanted them to be, but all in all, it's been a good year."
McGuire said one of the biggest lessons he carried out of last season was how to handle the game from a mental standpoint.
"That was the biggest learning part of last year. It was trying to find consistency within an outing," McGuire said. "This year, whether I have five good innings and one bad pitch in the sixth or whatever, just keep going. If you make one bad pitch in a start and it happens to beat you then there's not a whole lot you can do about it. It's learning to understand the game and learning to accept the process and keep building."

ROSTER MOVES: Prior to Thursday's game, the Toronto Blue Jays announced that Fisher Cats infielder Gabe Jacobo was placed on the disabled list retroactive to Aug. 27 with a knee injury.
In other moves, catcher Jack Murphy was called up to Triple-A Buffalo and a pair of Single-A players from Dunedin (catcher Chris Schaeffer and outfielder Jonathan Jones) were shipped to New Hampshire. Jones was in the starting lineup Thursday night.

Jacques Villon was a powerful figure in the history of modern painting. His birth name was Gaston Duchamp. One of the gifted artistic family of a Rouen notary, Jacques Villon worked in a law office when he left school but found sparetime art studies more interesting.
In 1894, he came to Paris where he studied at Atelier Cormon and met the habitues of the cafes and dance halls. He adopted the profession of Toulouse Lautrec, Steinlen, and Forain, doing humorous drawings for periodicals, Le Rire, Gil Blas, and Le Courrier Francais. Those years of drawing and engraving established a formative discipline. He exhibited with the Salon d'Automne from its foundation in 1904 and took up portrait painting for a short time.
About 1911, Cubism became a major interest and to the tenets held by Picasso, Gris and to others he added some of his own, including a higher key to his palette. Another principle he adopted was the system of pyramidal vision formulated by Leonardo da Vinci based on his theory that the lines if extended to a certain point would converge into a pyramidal form. In 1912, Villon with his brothers Marcel Duchamp and Raymond Duchamp- Villon, his sister Suzanne and ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

I think the new Fusion drive sounds great. And it's time for me to replace my antique G5. Since my MBP (often used with an external display) will continue to be my main machine, the G5 replacement will be back-up & for media. I've been thinking "Mac mini" for some time, just waiting for the upgrade, and will probably go that route.

It's Come To This: Commentators Arguing That The Press Commits A Crime In Exposing NSA Surveillance
from the sad dept
Of course, there's also that fancy First Amendment, which Thiessen would prefer to ignore:
Greenwald's crime is violating 18 USC § 798, which makes it a criminal act to publish classified information revealing government cryptography or communications intelligence.
The law is absolutely clear. It states: "Whoever knowingly and willfully communicates, furnishes, transmits, or otherwise makes available to an unauthorized person, or publishes , or uses in any manner prejudicial to the safety or interest of the United States or for the benefit of any foreign government to the detriment of the United States any classified information— (1) concerning the nature, preparation, or use of any code, cipher, or cryptographic system of the United States or any foreign government; or (2) concerning the design, construction, use, maintenance, or repair of any device, apparatus, or appliance used or prepared or planned for use by the United States or any foreign government for cryptographic or communication intelligence purposes; or (3) concerning the communication intelligence activities of the United States or any foreign government; or (4) obtained by the processes of communication intelligence from the communications of any foreign government, knowing the same to have been obtained by such processes— Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both."
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.It would appear that 18 USC 798 is exactly what is forbidden by the First Amendment. It is a law abridging the freedom of the press and freedom of speech. Defenders of Thiessen and the NSA will point out that there are lots of times the courts have said this is okay, but I'm not sure what kind of defense that is, other than nitpicking why the First Amendment is something to ignore. Personally, I think that the First Amendment is fairly important, and worry about any laws that appear to push back on the basic concept of it.

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
The world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart (WMT - Free Wal-Mart Stock Report), reported decent results to finish fiscal 2012 (ended January 31, 2013). Fourth-quarter earnings per share of $1.67 far exceeded our $1.58 estimate, the $1.51 earned last year, and the company's $1.53-$1.58 guidance. The primary reason for the outperformance was a 10% decline in the tax rate due largely to the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. Revenue of $127.1 billion was 2.6% shy of our estimate, but still grew 3.9% year over year (3.7% excluding favorable currency translation).
U.S. same-store sales improved 1% (1.2% without considering fuel), coming in at the low end of management's 1% to 3% guidance. A 1.1% rise in the average transaction amount was offset by a 10-basis point decline in traffic. Although holiday sales were solid, business slowed in January. It appears that Wal-Mart customers are feeling the effects of lighter paychecks caused by the expiration of the Social Security payroll tax cut, as well as relatively high gas prices and delays in tax refunds. These trends prompted the company to issue flat comp guidance for the April quarter. Notably, tax refund check activity picked up toward the middle of February.
Nonetheless, the core domestic business managed to improve its share of food, consumables, health, and over-the-counter spending by 40 basis points, according to Nielsen research. Key drivers of a low single-digit positive comp in Grocery were adult beverages, dry and fresh goods, like produce and USDA meat. In consumables, a broader assortment, value pack sizing, and lower opening price points resonated with cash-strapped customers. In health and wellness, brand-to-generic conversions hurt the average transaction amount but helped prescription volume. Meanwhile a busy flu season benefited over-the-counter volume.
Other areas of strength were sporting goods, mobile phones (iPhone 5, Samsung devices), jewelry, and home decor. Importantly, a focus on basic and essential apparel drove a low-single-digit positive comp for the category. This clinched the first full year of positive comp sales in apparel in the last seven. Although the entertainment category continued to decline owing to the current lull in the technology cycle, Wal-Mart's portion of the entertainment and toy categories increased according to The NPD Group.
The U.S. gross margin was up seven basis points in the quarter, but fell 16 basis points in 2012 as the company continues to keep prices low in order to drive customer loyalty. Companywide operating expenses as a percentage of sales fell 14 basis points in 2012, owing to changes in worker's schedules, inventory stocking, and merchandise sourcing. Wal-Mart's goal is to reduce this rate an additional 86 basis points by the end of fiscal 2016, bringing the five-year total to 100 basis points of operating leverage or $6 billion.
The company plans on growing domestic retail space by 15 million-17 million square feet, which would reflect 7% to 21% year-over-year growth. The increase will likely stem from approximately 100 small format Neighborhood Market and Wal-Mart Express locations. Initial results from the small stores have been encouraging, with comps outpacing the domestic average. The company plans on opening, expanding, and relocating around 130 supercenters this year, similar to 2012.
Last year the company opened fewer stores in Mexico, China, and Brazil than it wanted to, and those it did open were not ideally located. This, along with a weak holiday selling period in developed markets like the United Kingdom and Japan drove poor comps and weaker-than-expected international total revenue growth of 6.9% in the fourth quarter. The company is conducting research on its international customers to get a better sense of their buying patterns, continuing to reinforce everyday low prices, and trying to make merchandise more locally relevant. Although we are optimistic that results will eventually improve, we doubt it will be a quick fix. Meantime…
Sam's club performed better than Wal-Mart U.S. during the quarter with comp sales rising 2.3% on top of a 5.4% advance in the prior year. Traffic grew 1.6% while the average transaction amount was up 70 basis points driven by a strong holiday season. Still, traffic from small business members slowed toward the end of the quarter, which we attribute to concerns over the economy. And, operating margins may come under pressure as the company continues to lower prices in an effort to garner customer loyalty.
The company's guidance is in line with our expectations. Revenue growth is expected to be between 5% and 6%, comparable to last year. Earnings per share for the April quarter ought to come in at $1.11-$1.16, reflecting 2% to 6% growth year over year. For the full year, earnings are expected to range between $5.20 and $5.40. In response, we have shaved a nickel off our 2013 share-net estimate bringing it to $5.35.
Overall, Wal-Mart put forth a solid showing in the fourth quarter despite facing some consumer spending headwinds. We think the company is well positioned in the retail space for the year ahead. The shares offer solid risk-adjusted long-term price appreciation potential at current levels, in our view.
Also, we are encouraged that the company is raising the quarterly dividend by 18% or $0.29, to $1.88.
About The Company: Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is the world's largest retailer, operating 3,029 supercenters (includes sizable grocery departments), 629 discount stores, 611 Sam's Clubs, and 210 Neighborhood Markets in the U.S., plus 5,651 foreign stores, mainly in Latin America, with the balance in Asia, Canada, and the U.K as of 1/31/12. The company operates 1.037 billion square feet of total store space. Most stores are owned and are within 400 miles of an expanding network of distribution centers. Groceries accounted for 54% U.S. sales in 2011, while sales per square foot were about $430.

And What Happens After .xxx?
from the herding-the-other-porn-sites-into-the-porn-district? dept
Now that ICANN is considering another bunch of top level domains, the questions and concerns over the ".xxx" domain are on the way back. Last time, when ICANN approved other TLDs like .biz and .info, .xxx just barely missed making the cut. It actually sparked some outrage from certain politicians who favored the domain as a way to give porn sites an address that can easily be blocked. Now, Declan McCullough is looking at the .xxx proposal and potential political problems it may cause. The guy pushing to run .xxx believes (probably accurately) that he'll make a tremendous amount of money doing so. However, one thing he doesn't want to do is to force all porn sites to use a .xxx domain. Even thought it could make him wealthier, he is actively speaking out against anyone who suggests that idea. Some politicians, though, are drooling over the opportunity to cordon off all porn sites into an .xxx area. While I also think the domain should be approved, and that it would be beneficial for most porn sites to use that TLD (knowing that any visitors actually are interested in porn, rather than tricking people into visiting your site - and pissing off those who don't want to view porn), forcing porn sites into using .xxx would be a very bad move. Already, almost no two people can agree on what exactly "porn" is. This has always been a problem on the internet - and many online filtering/blocking companies have already run into problems for blocking sites on safe sex or breast cancer for being "porn" sites. Who determines whether or not these sites need to move to .xxx? It's a subjective thing, and that's where forcing sites into a certain area becomes very difficult to manage.

NATURAL-LOOKING FILLERS The preferences of certain Real Housewives notwithstanding, the majority of women today want a believably plump, understated pout, not the "trout pouts" that draw tabloid attention, says New York dermatologist Anne Chapas. The most popular treatment for creating natural but lush lips is injecting fillers, which add back lost (or never quite God-given) volume, as if restuffing a pillow. Both Chapas and Brandt favor hyaluronic acid gels (such as Restylane, Juvéderm, and Belotero) over substances like collagen, which tends to disappear within a few weeks. Hyaluronic acid, on the other hand, sticks around for up to 12 months. Another reason it's a volume VIP, says Beverly Hills dermatologist Harold Lancer, is that it's unlikely to cause an allergic reaction, and in the event that you don't like the result, there's an antidote that can dissolve the filler. (Note: There's always the chance of scarring when inserting a needle through thin skin.) The actual injections involve as much art as they do science, so what you use and where you use it are key. "For adding volume I stay within the lip line; otherwise you can get into 'duck lip' territory," advises Brandt. Because Juvéderm has a bit more stiffness and structure to it, notes Chapas, many experts find it's best for older women or those who need restoration. Belotero has more suppleness, so it's great for a more pouty appearance. (And the best fix for vertical lines, says Brandt.) And since the lips need to work in context with the rest of your face, the needlework might extend beyond your mouth. "The chin, cheeks, and nose have to provide a supportive background. Bigger lips could look out of proportion on a 'fallen' face," says New York dermatologist Heidi Waldorf. Cost: $600–$1,000 per treatment.
THE CASE FOR FAT While fillers may get the most play for their relative ease of use, some doctors insist that the best material for achieving a natural look remains the stuff we're always trying to trim off elsewhere—namely, your own fat. "It's more forgiving than fillers in that it flows smoothly and doesn't have a tendency to lump or migrate," says Lawrence Koplin, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. "We can inject it into the lips themselves or along the lip border to create different effects, and it's permanent. I also place micro grafts of fat into individual vertical lip lines to eradicate them in the most natural, permanent way possible." That permanence can, of course, have its downsides, says Waldorf. Koplin admits that compared with fillers—which are pretty much an in-and-out procedure—the fat-transfer process is more involved. (You have to harvest the fat before injecting it, among other things.) But he counters that fillers are quite expensive, are temporary, and, most important, are not alive. "Fillers act as a spacer or an oil slick in the middle of living tissue," explains Koplin. "Because the lips are so active, having foreign material in the lips makes them move more slowly and stiffly. That's why you might see someone who looks good in a photograph, but when talking they look as if they just walked out of a dentist's office." Cost: $3,500–$6,500.
QUICK LIP LIFT There's yet another option for women who have lost volume over the years, Lancer says, and it works immediately. He's referring to his method of subcision, a surgical technique similar to that used to treat scar tissue. Subcision of the lips involves moving a tiny cannula under the surface of the lip area to break up the tight fibrous bands that pull the skin in and down. This lifts and expands the area and gives lips a supple, pillowy look. And because the tissue is no longer bound, it fills out the deflated skin and lines instantly. "It's like snipping parachute strings," says Lancer. Cost: $400 per treatment; three or four are recommended.
HOW TO FAKE IT Test-drive the look of a fuller pout with a plumping gloss, such as Laura Mercier Lip Plumper ($30), containing ingredients that irritate and swell the lips. Conditioning lip treatments often include collagen or hyaluronic acid; each absorbs water and gives a swollen effect. (Our pick: La Prairie Anti-Aging Eye and Lip Contour Cream; $190.) Remember that glossy, light shades make lips look larger than matte, dark ones, says New York makeup artist Ashleigh Ciucci. Another trick: Add a tiny dot of highlighter just above your Cupid's bow and under the center of your lower lip (try Nars Illuminator in Copacabana; $30), and voilà! You can kiss your thin lips goodbye.

This recipe is built around butter. Copious amounts of butter for which there is no substitute. Brown butter is an indulgence you must experience to understand and fully appreciate. Kind of nutty, with a deep, rich, savory flavor that's incredibly delicious. It's made just the way it sounds, by cooking butter until it turns a caramel color. Here, this step is done with almonds, infusing all of it's deep, buttery goodness into the nuts and vice versa.
My love for spaghetti squash is no secret, subbing it for the fettuccine in the original recipe was a natural as I had some on hand and already cooked, just calling out for a drizzle of brown butter and a blanket of freshly fried egg. Along with the crunchy almonds and salty Parmesan cheese, the egg takes it over the top with it's gooey, fatty yolk making for an immensely comforting and deeply satisfying meal.
1. If using pasta cook according to package directions in plenty of salted water. Drain reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
2. Meanwhile melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add nuts and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 10 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon.
3. Crack eggs into butter and cook, two at a time, spooning butter over yolks, until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Transfer eggs to a plate and keep warm. Add squash or pasta and half the pine nuts to skillet and toss. If using pasta, stir in some of the pasta water to create a sauce, and season well with salt and pepper.
4. To serve top squash or pasta with a fried egg, sprinkle with nuts, Parmesan, and nutmeg, if desired.
Serves 4
In French cooking brown butter is called a 'beurre noisette' or hazelnut butter.

Former Exeter Hospital nurse's aide pleads guilty in theft case
By JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
— A former nurse's aide from Exeter Hospital received a suspended county jail sentence after pleading guilty to forgery and receiving stolen property charges, stemming from her stealing $2,000 from an elderly North Hampton couple.
Valerie Trunfio, 37, of Hampton pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a felony count of forgery and a misdemeanor charge of receiving stolen property for having an oxygen monitor that belonged to the hospital.
Trunfio was sentenced to a 12-month jail term that was suspended so long as she remains on good behavior for two years.
She will be on probation for a year. Trunfio will have to perform 100 hours of community service and write a letter of apology to her victims, according to prosecutors. She will also be required to pay $2,000 in restitution to the couple.
Prosecutors say Trunfio wrote five checks to herself while caring for the couple last May.
The couple's son reported to police that he reviewed his parent's checkbook and found Trunfio was writing checks to herself. The checks were in addition to what his elderly mother had paid for her weekly services, according to a police affidavit.
Trunfio cashed five checks written during a 16-day period totaling $2,000, police said.
North Hampton police charged her following their investigation, which including collecting surveillance footage from local banks and copies of the checks.
Trunfio allegedly cashed the checks at banks in Hampton and North Hampton. Police obtained video footage from two Hampton banks showing Trunfio cashing the checks.
North Hampton Detective Peter Cormier and Hampton Detective Chris Gilroy interviewed Trunfio and confronted her with the surveillance footage and four of the signed checks.
Trunfio admitted to police she wrote out and signed the checks herself, claiming she was allowed to do so, Cormier said in a sworn affidavit. But her victims denied she had permission to write the checks, and also told police that Trunfio left behind an oxygen monitor at the home as well.
Exeter police matched the monitor's serial number to the one found in North Hampton, police said. The monitor was previously in a section of the hospital where Trunfio worked, according to Cormier.

There is one mom/wife/human skill I truly suck at. And it haunts/taunts/plagues me night and day. Any guesses?
Embarrassing confession: I am not good at doing laundry. Like really not good. Once when I was in college, my roommate and I realized (three weeks into the new semester) that we were using fabric softener instead of detergent. We were juniors living in an off-campus apartment—no excuse. Since then I have learned to use the right soaps but I haven't excelled much past that. And as a mother to two messy, sticky children and a wife to a guy who likes to wear fifteen layers when he works out, I have a lot of laundry to do. I don't really mind the washing so much, it's the folding and putting away I hate. And the stains. And the missing socks. And anything that says hand wash (really? do I really have to?). And forget about ironing (I do). I also apparently don't know how to hang pants properly or fold sweaters as Nick (who worked at Banana Republic for a short but influential stint in college) has not-so-kindly pointed out. But the worst part: There are always, always, piles of clothes in our rooms waiting to be put away. Always. Piles. Laundry is a never-ending sisyphean task and it makes me crazy.
Most mornings after I make my bed, I'll dump the clean laundry baskets on top assuming I will get to put them away at some point during the day (see photo). And then at 11 p.m. when I fall into bed, I gather the clothes up in my arms and move them to our bench or back into the laundry baskets. It's my process and I'm not proud of it. Laundry is one of the few adult, domestic life skills that I have yet to master. I keep my house neat and clean, I cook healthy, yummy dinners, my kids are bathed and read to, but the laundry remains a mystery to me. My mother was and continues to be a master laundress and, I'm not ashamed to admit, she still bails me out if I have a particularly tricky stain to deal with (I will throw some clothes in a grocery bag and drop them off at her house and miraculously they come back sparkling, smelling clean and folded—score!). My mother loves to do laundry. Seriously. She finds it a challenge and a task that she can accomplish with immediate, satisfying results. I find it the bane of my existence. Nick helps with the laundry too but, while he excels at the folding and hanging, he hasn't quite grasped the whole separate the colors/right-side-out the shirts/un-ball the socks thing. His way of helping is to throw whatever's on the laundry room floor into the washer, add some soap and hit start. And so I beg him not to help. Unless he wants to fold and put away, which he will do when we hit a critical mass.
I have been so affected by laundry lately that I decided to write a little story to illustrate my issues, inspired by a kid classic (apologies to Mr. Carle). Here goes:
The Very Large Laundry Pile
In the light of the moon a little shirt lay on my bedroom floor.
One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and revealed that the shirt had friends: a scattered but very large laundry pile.
I started to tackle the pile, which had some dirty clothes, some clean (the line between them blurring by the day).
On Monday, I washed one load of whites...but the pile was still there.
On Tuesday, I washed two loads of darks...but the pile was still there.
On Wednesday, I folded and put away three loads of workout clothes…but the pile was still there.
On Thursday, I "hand washed" the sweaters and washed and put away four loads of towels (towels are easy)…but the pile was still there.
On Friday, I stood in Alex and Nora's rooms for an hour and hung up five loads of their clothes, while bagging up the stuff that no longer fits…but the pile was still there.
On Saturday, I sprayed the stains from one piece of chocolate cake, one grassy knee, one splotch of spaghetti Bolognese, one syrupy pancake, one magic marker and one smear of red glitter. That night I had a headache!
On Sunday, I put away the last of the kid's clothes and hung up my (wrinkly, un-ironed) shirts. And after that I felt much better. I crawled into my cocoon of a bed and dreamt of empty laundry baskets and butterflies. But when I woke up, there were two dirty socks balled up in the corner of the room (not in the basket in the closet, mind you) and so, my nightmare begins again….
Does anyone else have this kind of relationship with laundry? Do you ever feel like there is no possible way you will ever get ahead of it? Do you ever throw out clothes just so you don't have to wash them? (I have—only the very old or very icky, I swear.) Is there a solution to this insanity or do I just need to grow up and suck it up? Let's discuss.

SILVER SPRING, MD and TORRENCE, CA and SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - May 17, 2011) - The Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA), the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center (LA BioMed) and Actelion Pharmaceuticals US, Inc., today announced that Dr. Ronald Oudiz of LA BioMed is the 2011 recipient of the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA) Award of Excellence in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) Care. This annual award is designed to honor and acknowledge healthcare professionals who are committed to improving outcomes for patients with PAH through excellence in research and clinical practice.
As part of the award, the LA BioMed will receive a grant in the amount of $50,000 to support continued excellence in care for patients with PAH. The award is supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Actelion and was presented during a reception at the 2011 International Conference of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) in Denver, Colorado.
"Ron Oudiz has distinguished himself as a researcher dedicated to finding new ways to treat this often fatal disease, as well as a trusted clinician who is passionately committed to helping improve the lives of patients diagnosed with it," said Michael McGoon, MD, professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and consultant to the Division of Cardiovascular Disease at the Mayo Clinic, chair of the PHA Award Steering Committee. "This is an award about excellence in PAH care and Dr. Oudiz's achievements made him the obvious and deserved choice."
"PAH is still considered a rare disease, impacting less than 200,000 worldwide, and over the last decade, there have been significant advances in diagnosing and treating patients, while continuing to increase awareness of the disease across medical disciplines," said Rino Aldrighetti, president of the Pulmonary Hypertension Association. "Ron Oudiz has helped build the pulmonary hypertension community into a force that is bringing positive change to patients by helping ensure patients have the education and treatments they need to fight this disease."
"Through his pioneering research into PAH, Ron Oudiz is serving the underserved and all who suffer from this devastating disease," said David I. Meyer, PhD, LA BioMed president and CEO. "He is a leader in testing therapies and treatments that have improved the quality of life for those living with PAH, and his research is an important example of how LA BioMed scientists are making a difference in the health of people around the globe."
This year's award recipient was selected based on their demonstrated excellence in PAH patient care, service to the pulmonary hypertension community and consistent provision of cutting-edge options for patients living with PAH. The Steering Committee, who selected the recipient, included three physicians and three patients/patient advocates, including:
About Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a chronic, life-threatening disorder characterized by abnormally high blood pressure in the arteries between the heart and lungs of an affected individual. The function of the heart and lungs is severely compromised, manifested by a limited exercise capacity, and, ultimately, a reduced life expectancy. Less than 200,000 people in Europe and the United States are afflicted with either primary or secondary forms of the disease related to conditions or tissue disorders that affect the lungs, such as scleroderma, lupus, HIV/AIDS or congenital heart disease.
PAH is associated with structural changes in both the pulmonary vasculature and the right ventricle. Recent advances [1] in the understanding of the pathogenic factors leading to the pulmonary vascular disease have led to the development of new therapies targeting specific pathways (the prostacyclin pathway; the endothelin pathway; and the nitric oxide pathway) [2]. The available therapies have effects in PAH, but they do not provide a cure, and in many patients the disease will progress. PAH remains a serious life-threatening condition [2,3]. Early recognition and an understanding of the selection and timing of therapeutic options remain critical elements in the optimal management of patients with this disorder.
About the Pulmonary Hypertension AssociationHeadquartered in Silver Spring, Md., PHA is the country's leading organization connecting pulmonary hypertension patients, families, and medical professionals. Its mission is to find ways to prevent and cure pulmonary hypertension and provide hope for the community through support, education, advocacy and awareness.

Like a lot of New Yorkers, I completely underestimated the havoc Hurricane Sandy would wreak on the city. I thought it would be windy and rainy and perhaps the lights would flicker, but I didn't really think we would need to evacuate. Boy was I wrong. I was totally unprepared to abandon our apartment.
I hadn't packed a "go" bag before the storm hit, and when we were finally scurrying to leave, there was no light to see what the heck we needed. We were already weighed down with essentials for my toddler, so I could only bring essential items. But as I sifted through my clothing by candlelight, I realized I didn't even own everything I needed, which were things that were comfy yet could be worn to work if necessary. Live and learn. Next time, I will know exactly what to have on hand if my family has to flee flood waters again. Here are the 5 clothing items every mom needs in an emergency:
What do you pack in your "go" bag?

In 2009, Bvlgari decided to take action on behalf of disadvantaged children around the world, as too many children are unable to fulfill their own aspirations because their lack of education perpetuates the cycle of poverty. Partnering with Save the Children, Bvlgari launched a campaign of unprecedented ambition and scope, in which part of the proceeds from the sale of Save the Children jewelry – custom designed by Bvlgari – is donated to the charity.
Inspired by the iconic B.zero1 jewelry line, the special collection comprises a ring, launched in October 2010, and a new pendant, launched in April 2014. The collection's two pieces are available in Bvlgari stores worldwide, select department stores and on Bvlgari's website (in the US and Japan) for €420 ($480) each, of which €75 ($100) is donated to Save the Children. After almost five years, the partnership has developed into a strong and long-term relationship.
Bvlgari supports some of Save the Children's key strategic areas of intervention, including emergency relief, with a targeted focus on education, as it is the company's bold belief that no lasting development is made without education and learning. Interventions target the children most difficult to reach, while tackling the growing problem of urban poverty. With the additional proceeds from the sale of the new pendant, Bvlgari is expanding the scope of its activities and focus on health by supporting Save the Children's life-saving interventions for the most vulnerable children: newborns.
Over the past decade, the world has made amazing progress in reducing child mortality – which has nearly halved from 12 million to 6.6 million – thanks to global political action on immunization, treatment of pneumonia, diarrhea and malaria, family planning and nutrition. But this progress could stall without urgent action to tackle scandalously high numbers of newborn deaths. Bvlgari has decided to take a stand in this global effort, saving the lives of 50,000 babies and their mothers through a financial commitment of €1 million. With enormous influence and unrivaled experience on the ground, Save the Children is the world's largest independent international organization running programs in developing as well as developed countries. Teaming up with Bvlgari's brand ambassadors, it continues its exemplary work wherever its support is needed most. To date, Save the Children's programs have reached over 600,000 children and trained over 20,000 teachers through educational activities and initiatives in more than 1,200 schools, many of which are located in areas affected by conflict, extreme poverty or emergencies. Bvlgari's donations benefit under-privileged children in 23 countries, including: Afghanistan, Albania, Australia, Bolivia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Brazil, China, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, India, Italy, Ivory Coast, Mexico, Montenegro, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, South Sudan, Uganda, the UK and the US.
Renowned photographer Fabrizio Ferri has actively supported this initiative, giving his time and talent. Over the years, he has photographed around 200 celebrities wearing the ring, and recently the pendant, in support of Bvlgari's commitment to quality education for the world's most needy children.

Tanaka posting sweetens New Year for MLB
The North American supply of pitching has just been enriched. This could mean a happier New Year than expected for one Major League rotation.
The Rakuten Golden Eagles, according to reports, have decided to make the leading ace of Japanese baseball, Masahiro Tanaka, available for posting.
The North American supply of pitching has just been enriched. This could mean a happier New Year than expected for one Major League rotation.
The Rakuten Golden Eagles, according to reports, have decided to make the leading ace of Japanese baseball, Masahiro Tanaka, available for posting.
Tanaka is expected to set off an intense bidding war among MLB franchises. And with his numbers, why not? Tanaka went 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA for Rakuten in 2013. He was named the Pacific League MVP in Japan, and won his second Sawamura Award, which is the Japanese equivalent of the Cy Young Award.
Major League Baseball and Nippon Professional Baseball concluded an agreement recently that limited the maximum posting fee to $20 million. That agreement may have been disappointing to the Rakuten club, particularly in this instance. There had been speculation that the posting fee, which gives a Major League team the right to negotiate with the Japanese player in question, would have set a record in the case of Tanaka. The previous posting fee record was $51.7 million for pitcher Yu Darvish, now with the Texas Rangers.
The $20 million maximum may mean that more Major League clubs will be in the initial hunt for Tanaka's services. Tanaka is considered to be Japan's best pitcher. He is probably even more salable because of the success Darvish has enjoyed in his first two seasons in the Majors.
Tanaka, at 25, may be entering the prime of his career. The 2013 season was his best, but it didn't appear to be an aberration. He has a 99-35 record with a lifetime ERA of 2.30.
Given that the posting fee now has a maximum, the real bidding war will come in the contract terms offered to Tanaka. This will be an expensive proposition.
A number of Major League clubs, including the Yankees, Angels, Dodgers, Rangers and Mariners, have been reported to be extremely interested in acquiring Tanaka. All of these clubs have repeatedly demonstrated the ability and willingness to spend whatever it takes to sign major talent.
The Tanaka saga has taken some twists. He was going to be posted. Then, he wasn't. Now, he is. The Rakuten club had all the clout in this situation, with Tanaka is under contract through 2015.
Tanaka's availability may help to clarify the market for the free-agent pitchers still on the market. The leading candidates appear to be Matt Garza, Ubaldo Jimenez and Ervin Santana. Teams in need of pitching who cannot afford Tanaka's price, may become increasingly motivated to go after one of the conventional free-agent pitchers.
Even though he has never thrown a pitch in the Major Leagues, Tanaka holds a higher stature and likely will command a far higher price than any pitcher available on the open market.
He will be the beneficiary of a pitching situation in which the demand far exceeds the supply. It is safe to say that 28 of the 30 Major League clubs -- all but St. Louis and Oakland -- needs more pitching.
And now, Tanaka goes directly to the head of the class. By the simple act of making him available for the posting process, the Golden Eagles have, in theory at least, improved the overall quality of pitching in the Western Hemisphere. The Rakuten club, of course, will also come into $20 million in the process, but the on-field result should be one more front-line pitcher for an MLB club.
Clubs with rotation issues and money to spend can afford at least a short-term bout of optimism now that Tanaka is available.
By reputation, Tanaka is going to be the kind of pitcher who can solidify a rotation, and in fact, greatly improve a rotation just by joining it. That kind of pitcher isn't available in great quantities in the current free-agent class. Tanaka is supposed to be, for some well-heeled Major League team, a quick rotation fix.
Baseball has become a global game, but no matter how large the game is, it is still ruled by the immutable law: You can never have enough pitching. Tanaka is going to be a very welcome addition to North American professional baseball, especially for the one fortunate franchise that wins his services.

Fugitive of Week from April captured in New Durham
July 30. 2013 9:09AM
Daniel Arthur "Danny" Demeritt, 35, wanted by the U.S. Marshal's Service as a Fugitive of the Week in April for parole violations stemming from an armed-robbery conviction, was arrested Monday night in Durham, where he was spotted driving a van.
Demeritt was wanted by the N.H. Parole Board for parole violations stemming from an armed-robbery conviction.
Information provided by tipsters and obtained by investigators with the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force resulted in his arrest.
Investigators said at the time of his arrest, Demeritt was a habitual offender, in possession of hypodermic needles and controlled drugs. He will be charged with those offenses in addition to the parole violations, according to the U.S. Marshals.
Assisting task force members in the arrest were officers from N.H. Probation & Parole, Strafford, Belknap and Hillsborough county sheriff's offices, deputy U.S. marshals and New Durham police.
Demeritt was processed and detained at the Strafford County jail in Dover, prior to being transferred to the N.H. State Prison for Men in Concord.
