Study finds 40 percent fewer teenagers are working in NH than in 2000By BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 03. 2012 8:47PM
The number of teenagers of working age in New Hampshire who have a job has fallen by nearly 40 percent since the year 2000, a study by a private foundation has found.
Just 35 percent of the state's 16-19 year olds worked in even part-time employment in 2011, according to the report prepared by researchers at the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
Reasons for the dive in the employment rate include the loss of entry-level manufacturing jobs, improved workplace productivity and automation, according to Laura Speer, associate director for policy reform and data at the foundation.
The disappearance of mom and pop style businesses is a big factor, because it takes away the natural first job for a lot of teens.
"We're losing that community base of some of the smaller businesses where the owner would know the family and the parents and would take the chance that the young person would actually show up," Speer said. "A lot of first jobs that I may have gotten when I was a teenager in the '80s just don't exist any more."
By 2011, 35 percent of Granite State teens over 16 had jobs - the 13th best rate in the country. Among people aged 20-24, the percentage of the population working in New Hampshire is fifth best in the country, with 72 percent of the people in that age group holding at least a part-time job.
Still, even the young adult employment race has dropped compared to a decade ago, when 82 percent of people in their early 20s were working.
"This is a critical issue because these first jobs are not necessarily about learning hard skills that they are going to be able to build a career on," Steer said. "It's really about 'soft' skills, showing up to work on time, learning to work on a team and learning to problem-solve without depending on their parents."
Speer said other studies have shown that people who don't join the labor force when they are young tend to have more frequent periods of unemployment in later years.
The foundation is calling for improving the employment picture among teens and young adults through steps such as creating a national youth employment strategy, using enterprises such as Goodwill to put young people to work, encouraging businesses to create learn-and-earn programs and stimulating the development of very small businesses, called micro-enterprises.

Drink Factory Interview- Chad Solomon and Christy Pope
Chad Solomon/Christy Pope Drink Factory Interview
Christy Pope & Chad Solomon have been an integral part of the New York cocktail scene for the past decade, having worked behind the bars of Milk & Honey, Pegu Club, Little Branch, and Flatiron Lounge, and have since consulted on beverage programs for hotels, restaurants and bars around the world. In 2006, Christy & Chad emerging from their collective work at Milk & Honey, founded Cuffs & Buttons Cocktail Catering & Consulting.
1. What is the first cocktail you ever made?
Christy: I am afraid all the drinking has left me a bit foggy on the actual first drink I ever made, so I will answer this in two parts…
-First drink that I ever "uncovered" was the Casino cocktail form the vintage book "Just cocktails." I remember finding the recipe and taking it in to M&H the next night, I was working with Joseph Swartz and we looked at the recipe and adapted it, he made it, we drank it, and soon I was recommending it to guests with great delight, and thus it was cemented into the Milk & Honey drink compendium.
-First drink that made that made me "think" I was "the shit", the "show off" drink was the Queenspark Swizzle, it was always such an "ooh, ahh" presentation, and swizzling just felt sooo good ; )
Chad: Margarita, at the Cellar bar in the Bryant Park Hotel- it was the first drink I served behind any bar, on my first night on the job. It's funny that it turned out to be a Margarita, because I'm originally from Texas and my birthday falls on Cinco de Mayo, which is like national Margarita day.
2. What are your 3 favourite drinks? With recipes if you have them; old, new and your own.
Christy: Old- Classic Daiquiri: 2 oz Light Rum, 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice, ¾ oz Simple Syrup
New- Red Hook: (variant of Brooklyn by Enzo) 2 oz Rittenhouse Rye 100pf, ½ oz Punte Mes, ½ oz Luxardo Maraschino
Mine- Tequila Eastside (aka. Platino Fresca, or South Central): Same drink but has been put on menus with different names- 2 oz Silver Tequila, 1 oz Lime Juice, ¾ oz Simple, muddled cucumber and mint
Chad: This question is a non-starter for me, and my usual smart-ass response to this type of question is, "the one in my hand." When and where am I drinking my supposed favorite drinks? For me it boils down to the time/place/occasion that I'm going to consume a drink in. I'm pretty equal opportunity if the drink is well made and the occasion is appropriate, and I don't play favorites with my own creations.
3. Tell us about a new flavour you have discovered recently.
Christy: Asian Green Peppercorn… probably seems obvious, but true Asian green peppercorns do not exist stateside, not even at the NYC spice mecca Kalustyan's… they have bags labeled "green peppercorn" but they are black in color and do not compare in flavor to the bright crisp heat of the Asian variety. My initial discovery was made 2 years ago when Chad was consulting on a project in Egypt and he came back with all these amazing bags of spices he got at the souk, and my favorite was the green peppercorn… beautiful Kelley green in color and taste, it's a fresh heat. Then, a couple of months ago I was consulting on a job in Hong Kong and had an amazing dish of beef and green peppercorns in sauce, and again, these amazing Kelly green colored peppercorns dotted the plate with such a bright intensity! Much brighter in intensity with a round and lingering heat compared to the black, white, or pink peppercorns.
Chad: Until recently I had never tasted turmeric on its own. I haven't done anything with it yet, but it's something I'd like to explore.
4. If you could pass just one thing on to an apprentice bartender, what would it be?
Christy: Don't run before you walk… Bartenders in their first year are trying to make molecular cocktails and they can't even execute a proper sour. Learn and understand the fundamentals… they create the foundation from which you can then build on.
Chad: Ask a lot of questions (especially how and why) about everything that happens behind the bar. Curiosity can't be stressed enough.
5. What does the future hold for yourself, and what do you see happening in the future within the industry?
Christy: For me, I am very excited about my future, which means focusing on our own brand, Cuffs & Buttons™. We are in the process of obtaining our own storefront…i.e. bar which will mean that we are able to showcase our point of view on cocktails, as well as I will be dedicating more time and energy to further growing C&B cocktail catering… we have already built such a great foundation in the catering community, and I'm excited about growing further in that direction. As for the future of the industry, it's going to be interesting… I think that TV is going to get hold of the community at some point and I am a bit leery of how that might affect things, but overall there will always be a few auteurs working on a smaller scale, and pushing the cocktail further.
Chad: For my future plans: Ditto Christy's answer. With the exception of NYC and SF and a couple of smaller markets, the cocktail renaissance/revival is still very young in America, so there is tremendous opportunity here to open establishments and educate in the secondary markets. Also, I think for this to really take hold and grow, it has to reach out to a wider audience beyond bartenders and cocktail geeks.
6. What has been your biggest satisfaction from working behind the bar?
Christy: It has brought me out of my shell. I am (to my deficit) a very quiet and reserved person, bartending makes you interact, it's taken me a while, but I am far more social than I used to be. Also, I know I can walk into any party and make it better by shaking up a few drinks!
Chad: The people I've met, and friends made both in and out of the industry. Aside from all of the learning and the passion for cocktails and bartending, you never know who you're going to meet sitting across the bar from you.
7. If you were to have a conversation with a cocktail (and presuming it could talk back to you and tell you its past), which cocktail would it be and why?
Christy: I have two…
-Manhattan… the power conversations and deals that have been made with this cocktail in hand would be both fascinating and quite salacious too!
-French 75… pure romance, the name, wartime, its masculine and feminine, it evokes the true glamour of Hollywood, and it was on the set of Casablanca!
Chad: I could say the Cock-tail, Manhattan, Martini…. But, I'd be much more interested to talk to Pisco Punch, to hear about all of the terra it supposedly stomped in late 19th/ early 20th century San Francisco… or better yet- Aleister Crowley's Laudanum Cocktail- that would probably be a real boomer.
8. What influences your drinks from outside the industry?
Christy: Pop culture.
Chad: The exploration and search to achieve better flavor takes you straight to the more advanced kitchens/Chefs. Outside of that- travel, books, music, and humor are all places I find inspiration.
9. If you were to break a bartending golden rule, what would it be?
Christy: I've never been a rules person, there are exceptions to everything.
Chad: Break them all and often… there are exceptions to everything, the important thing is to use common sense.
10. Outside of flavour and the craft of the cocktail, what in your opinion affects the appreciation of cocktails the most?
Christy: Ambiance. At the end of the day, it's only us in the industry that nit pick over exact balance and brands and technique. The general public just wants something that tastes good and gets them on their way to being happy and relaxed, in an environment they enjoy. It is important for us to labor over the details of cocktails and make them as delicious as possible, but the ambiance is just as critical and should never be left behind.
Chad: The setting and the experience a person has while drinking them.
11. If you were to champion a cocktail, which would it be?
Christy: For an aromatic, it doesn't get better than an Old Fashioned. For a sour base cocktail, the Daiquiri is my fancy!
Chad: Thug Passion.

Our wilderness is under an unprecedented attack from Trump and anti-conservationists in Congress. Help us fight back.

Well I finally got back to Portsmouth at 2am this morning, after a long(er) weekend in Germany!
We flew into Dusseldorf Weeze airport, a small budget airline airport not far from the Dutch border between Kleve and Kevelaer. Weeze is actually an ex-RAF airbase, better known as RAF Laarbruch, where units of RAF Germany were stationed during the Cold War – most notably the Harrier GR force. Much of the RAF base still remains, and there is an RAF Museum on the site, which unfortunately I did not have time to visit.
We stayed in Dusseldorf, and went to watch Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Hamburg on Friday night. German football is a real experience, for anyone who can remember the time before English football sold its soul its a real experience. You can still stand on the terraces, and you can quite happily stand there drinking a beer and eating Currywurst. Its cheap as chips to get tickets, and the whole experience is far more fan focussed, so you're not being treated like a customer (eg mug) like English football. Borussia have got a strong fan culture, and there is a 'Fan Haus' near the ground selling beer and playing heavy metal before and after the game. The atmosphere in German football is electric – as you would expect considering that normal people can afford to go and they still have terracing. Borussia also have an unusually strong British following, thanks to the long-term presence of a large British military presence at nearby Rheindahlen and places like Krefeld. My Uncle John watched a pre-season friendly between 'Gladbach and Liverpool in the late 70's when he was based at St. Tonisvoorst with the Army.
Borussia are rooted bottom of the table with 10 points, and haven't won a game at home all season. Not surprisingly the fans are calling for the Manager's head. And after a lacklustre 2-1 defeat, unbelievably Michael Frontzeck still hasn't been sacked. Zweite Bundesliga for Borussia next year… I'd forgotten just how could it is to stand on terraces, and believe me 90 minutes stood still in -15 celsius is no joke. Even when you're wearing three pairs of socks!
I've got a bit of a thing about football stadiums… Borussia moved to their new Borussia Park stadium a few years ago after years at the enigmatic but antiquted Bokelberg Stadion. I went to the Bokelberg in 2003 and it was a real old fashioned ground. The 55,000 seater Borussia Park reminded me very much of the identikit-Meccano stadiums that sprang up in England a few years ago (St Marys, Riverside, Pride Park, Walkers Stadium etc) that look very nice from afar, but are incredibly cheap and cheerful and devoid of character. This isn't such a problem however, as the atmosphere in German football makes up for the bland architecture. One nice touch I did like was the use of green light to illuminate the stadium inside and out – I've never seen that at an English stadium, it would obviously cost too much for clubs to bother about. Near Borussia Park is an innocent looking school, that in fact used to be a hospital used for Hitler's medical euthenasia programme during the Third Reich.
The next day we went to see Fortuna Dusseldorf vs. Greuther Furth in the Second tier. The game was at the Espirit Arena in Dusseldorf, a new 55,000 capacity stadium. I was really impressed with the ground. The U-Bahn station runs right up into the ground, which looks very good from the outside, with an effective screening technique that enclosed the outer concourse. Once inside the facilities are roomy and first class. The whole of one end is terraced, and can be converted to seats quickly for European and international matches. There is a retractable roof in the ground too.
There were only 19,000 at the match, but with the atmosphere it felt more like 30,000. The Dusseldorf fans really made some noise. One guy is obviously the leader, given that he spent most of the match egging the crowd on and hollering into a mic. And it worked! When Fortuna scored to go 1-0 up he even took off his jacket to reveal huge tattooed arms. Quite a sight!
Having fulfilled one-thing-to-do-before-you-die (watch a match with an Orange ball) we went back into Dusseldorf accompanied with some Polish Fortuna fans, and then ended up in a pub serving the excellent Koening Pilsener. A nice evening, even with the German bloke who decided to grab one of the bar girls round the neck! That aside, a night out in Dusseldorf's altstadt is highly recommended. By now the snow was falling heavily. For most of the weekend my feet were completely soaked, even with multiple pairs of socks on. Why oh why didn't I take my waterproof walking boots? I ate four Currywurst and fries over two days just to try and keep warm!
The fun really began when trying to get home on Sunday. We had heard that airports and flights were looking dicey, and every other flight from Weeze was cancelled one-by-one. Our flight looked OK right up until we were at the boarding gate, at which point it was cancelled. Faced with the prospect of hanging around at a tiny airport for days, with no information and plenty of backlogged flights, we went back to Dusseldorf, got on the internet and managed to find a hire car to get to Calais. Having picked up the Car and made good time driving the 260 odd miles to Calais in about 6 hours, via Monchengladbach, Genk, Antwerp, Ostend, Bruges, Dunkirk and listening to Europop and dodging veering lorries – we couldn't find the car hire place to drop it off. A quick call to the car hire firm informed us that there was not in fact a branch in Calais, and they had entered our booking as dropping off in Celle in Northern Germany. Now, for those of you who don't know, Celle is a British Army Garrison town between Hannover and Hamburg – clearly we were not going to take it there. So in the end we pretty much dumped the car in Calais, handed the keys to someone in the ferry port, and told the car hire company.
Fortunately we walked straight onto the next Calais-Dover ferry, which sailed uneventfully. The serving lady on the ferry refused to open the restaurant 'until the Fish and Chips is ready', in her words – brilliant, makes you proud to be British! We then managed to jump on a train from Dover to London… great!… but then the train was delayed at Ashford for an hour after the train in front was stuck on the points. After some nailbaiting the train got going, and using the high-speed rail link reached St Pancras in incredibly quick time. From there a quick hop on the underground, and we managed to catch the last train home from Waterloo. I finally got through my front door at around 2am, some 24 hours late. I really like Germany, but it's always great to get home.
Obviously it was a seriously stressful time, but to quote Lieutenant-General Sir Brian Horrocks:
'this is a story you will tell your Grandchildren – and mightily bored they will be!'
Don't be surprised if I don't go abroad during the winter for a while!

Whether she ever gets to be Prime Minister or not, Theresa May's speech on Sunday deserves to be remembered.
For 30 years, economic orthodoxy in the Conservative party has been in thrall to the convictions of Margaret Thatcher. But Sunday looks likely to be remembered as the day the party finally moved on. If so, Conservatives will have David Willetts to thank for it.
For more than a year, Willetts has waged an intellectual and political campaign to slaughter the muddled yet sacred cows of the 1980s such as "no picking winners". It has taken courage, for at the beginning he understandably feared a backlash from the right of his party. Thanks to grammar schools, he knows how pitilessly any mis-step may be punished. But the backlash has not materialised and Sunday was the day his argument for an industrial strategy went mainstream within his party. For May did not simply name-check the Willetts' approach. The Home Secretary made it a central plank of her vision for Britain.
This is what May actually said:
"In the longer term, we need to build on the work the Chancellor has already done through local enterprise partnerships and enterprise zones, as well as the efforts of David Willetts in the Business Department, and expand our nascent industrial strategy. Now, before you think I'm about to reach for the beer and sandwiches, I'm not talking about failed seventies-style corporatism. Nor am I talking about a different type of big government. I'm talking about a more strategic role for the state in our economy. Let me give a few examples of what government could do.
First, it should map out the established and developing industries that are of strategic value to our economy, so policy can be designed to promote those industries. We effectively do this on an ad hoc basis in trade negotiations and when we make tax changes – mostly for the financial services industry – but we should do it on a wider and more systematic basis, working with our best businesses in key sectors. That's how we'll improve our record in infrastructure, skills and training, and research and development.
Second, and building on this work, government should identify the training and skills capabilities we need, and tailor its policies accordingly. It could encourage the establishment of more technical schools. It could work with schools and business to get more young people studying science, technology, engineering and maths. It could fund deep discounts in tuition fees for students who want to study degrees like engineering, where we have a shortage of skilled workers. This kind of planning already takes place in the immigration system, with a shortage occupation list in key sectors, so I don't see why we shouldn't apply the same logic to our own workforce.
Third, government should identify geographical clusters of industry – like biotech in Cambridge, the semiconductor industry in the South West of England, or the Formula One corridor in Oxford, Warwick and Birmingham – so we can help develop these clusters further, put British businesses at the forefront of industrial innovation, and create thousands of new jobs.
Fourth, government should change its approach to public procurement, so we can strike a better balance between short-term value for the taxpayer and long-term benefits to the economy. I don't mean we should always award contracts to British companies, regardless of price or quality, but we could produce a clear framework that explicitly takes into account the effect of procurement on British jobs, skills and the long-term capacity of our economy.
And fifth, we should pursue a relentless campaign to support entrepreneurs and wealth creators. This might mean traditional solutions, like granting generous tax exemptions for start-up businesses. But imagine if, as our public service reforms develop, we broke down the artificial divide between private and public sectors and allowed hundreds or even thousands of organisations to provide public services. Not only would we be improving those services, we'd set free world-beating British education and health providers who could use their expertise to win business in foreign markets. As George Freeman, who's done a lot of thinking in this area, says, "we need a recovery that allows us to unlock the full enterprise potential of the best of our public sector."
To those who say this is wrong, this is about picking winners, I say it's no such thing. It's about the state taking a strategic role, deploying our funds and resources in the wisest possible way. It's about doing everything we can to get Britain trading its way out of trouble and towards prosperity."
This is not just endorsement of an interesting idea. It is commitment. And in May, Willetts' cause has found an articulate communicator. There is something about her no-nonsense way that cuts through the abstractness of the issues. She manages to make this sort of policy sound exactly like what it actually is - plain common sense.
On Monday, Tim Montgomerie, the influential founder of the ConservativeHome website, welcomed May's speech in his Times column, endorsing also the need for an industrial strategy.
Further battles lie ahead. It is still for David Cameron and George Osborne to decide whether they are prepared to match the vision of an industrial strategy with the corresponding resources. Can they imagine, for example, giving the Technology Strategy Board anything like the budget it would command in comparable economies, a good £1 billion a year or more? But for now we can reflect on a momentous Sunday. The economic debate in Britain is unlikely ever to be the same again.

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez's credentials would seem to fit the gold standard for the new breed of mass-appeal Republican that the GOP called for in an exhaustive postelection autopsy.
Yet the Washington-based national party and its most powerful allies have been reluctant to rally behind the fresh-faced Republican with the all-star resume, raising questions about the GOP's commitment to candidates who might help improve its standing among women and minorities.
"I told them from the beginning I'm going to win this with or without D.C.," Gomez said this week. In a tough race in Democrat-friendly Massachusetts, he acknowledged that Democrat Ed Markey and Democratic allies have dramatically outspent him in the special election to replace former Sen. John Kerry, whom President Barack Obama chose as his secretary of state.
The election comes Tuesday, just three months after Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus released a high-profile internal report that found many voters disillusioned with the modern Republican Party. Working to recover from Obama's re-election, the report's authors determined that future GOP success would depend upon Republicans who generate stronger support from women, Hispanics and younger voters.
In particular, the study called on Republicans to embrace "comprehensive immigration reform," recruit minority candidates, and become more "inclusive and welcoming" when dealing with contentious social issues.
Gomez, 47, is a native Spanish speaker born to a first-generation Colombian immigrant family. A former Navy SEAL turned businessman, he supports gay marriage and immigration reform, and while he personally opposes abortion, he says he wouldn't spend "a single minute of any day" changing abortion law in Washington if elected — all positions that seemingly would play well in liberal-leaning Massachusetts, where Republicans don't often win statewide races.
GOP officials say national party leaders see Gomez as exactly the type of candidate they want to broaden the party's appeal beyond its conservative base. The officials requested anonymity to describe party strategies they were not authorized to discuss by name.
For much of the campaign, Gomez was outspent by Markey and his national Democratic allies, who sent a river of money and political stars to Massachusetts — Obama and first lady Michelle Obama among them — on Markey's behalf.
National GOP leaders believe they did as much as they could by funneling resources through the state party, according to the party officials. And they did so under the radar, the officials said, in a careful effort not to link Gomez to an unpopular national GOP in a state Obama won by 23 points last fall. Still, pro-Republican outside groups, who poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the 2012 elections, largely ignored the race.
"He's an American hero and he was being abandoned by the Republican establishment," says John Jordan, a California-based Republican donor who was driven by frustration in recent weeks to create a super PAC that pledged to spend up to $1.3 million to help Gomez. "The Republican establishment says they want middle-of-the-road Latino candidates — here they had one."
With Jordan's help, Gomez and his supporters have narrowed Markey's spending advantage in recent weeks. As of Friday afternoon, Democrats invested $5.2 million in television advertising compared to $3 million on the Republican side, according to the Smart Media Group, which tracks political advertising. The figures don't include hundreds of thousands of dollars more than Democratic groups have devoted to political mailings and get-out-the-vote efforts designed to defeat Gomez.
"He was just left on the beach. I couldn't live with it," said Jordan, a self-described political centrist and 41-year-old CEO of the Jordan Vineyard and Winery.
He suggested that Gomez's case would create a chilling effect on the centrist Republican candidates needed to broaden the party's appeal in other parts of the country. Indeed, it's unclear whether Republican candidates gearing up for 2014 will be rewarded or punished for embracing the RNC's recommendations.
Former Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio, is the president of the Republican Main Street Partnership, a group that promotes a centrist GOP agenda. He said Republican moderates such as West Virginia Senate candidate Rep. Shelly Moore-Capito, and former Reps. Robert Dold of Illinois and Doug Ose of California could face more conservative challengers in 2014 GOP primaries where moderation on immigration and social issues is often not rewarded.
LaTourette sees signs that the Republican Party already is beginning to distance itself from its new roadmap. He was initially encouraged by the RNC recommendations, but said that Republicans have been "doubling down" recently on far-right positions on abortion, immigration and health care.
"It's depressing. I just don't see the shift, at least at the national level," LaTourette said. "In order to become a national party, not just a regional party, we have to have more guys like Gomez in Massachusetts."
To be sure, national Republicans have not ignored Gomez altogether. The National Republican Senatorial Committee, the GOP's formal Senate campaign arm, devoted four staff members to the Massachusetts Senate contest. The group also transferred more than $800,000 to the state GOP to help fuel a pro-Gomez television advertising campaign, in addition to contributing $45,800 directly to the campaign and spending another $68,400 on polling and web ads.
"We are extremely proud to have invested so heavily — and worked so hard — to elect a first-generation American, Latino, Navy SEAL to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts," said NRSC spokesman Brad Dayspring. "Our efforts forced Democrats and liberal interest groups to spend millions upon millions in the bluest of blue states."
Former Sen. Olympia Snowe, a moderate Maine Republican who retired this year, says it's still unclear whether the national GOP will follow through on its plans to broaden its appeal.
"How aggressively they embrace moderate candidate across the country is the true test," Snowe said, suggesting that GOP leaders may have to experience more than one painful election cycle to commit to change. "I just don't know at what point they're going to confront the reality of the situation they're in."

Kevin Pietersen has been given hope of a return from international exile after two England stars claimed the controversial batsman would be welcomed back into the squad.
Pietersen was dropped by England after falling out with captain Andrew Strauss and his team-mates following a series of behind the scenes incidents.
The 32-year-old enraged his colleagues, who were already frustrated by his rows with England chiefs over his desire to play less one-day cricket, by sending provocative text messages to South African players that contained criticism of Strauss and coach Andy Flower.
As punishment for his behaviour, Pietersen was axed from the final Test against South Africa, the subsequent one-day series and will also be absent from England's defence of their ICC World Twenty20 crown in Sri Lanka this month.
Meanwhile, Strauss announced his retirement last week, although he insisted that shock decision wasn't prompted by the Pietersen storm.
With Pietersen's England future hanging by a thread, the South Africa-born star reportedly met with Flower over the weekend in a bid to start the healing process.
And he has received a further boost from England batsman Eoin Morgan and Ravi Bopara, who both hope their old team-mate can return to the fold despite reports he was no longer welcome in the dressing room.
"I think everybody would like to see him back," Morgan told Sky Sports News.
"I think the general public love watching him play, and the cricketing world do as well."
Bopara added: "It'd be nice to see him back in England colours. He's a great player; we know he's a class player. I hope for him things turn out well."
Morgan also paid tribute to his former England and Middlesex team-mate Strauss, adding: "He's a fantastic ambassador for the game, a guy you always looked up to and admired for a very, very long time - both at Middlesex and England.
"I've had the pleasure of playing under him, and I'd like to say thank you to him for (helping me) learn a hell of a lot."

Heath Hamlin, 24, is renovating a space at 309 Cleveland Ave. N. for a coffee shop. He hopes to open in December.
After quitting his job in September, Heath Hamlin stopped at the Buzzbin pub for a beer and some advice.
"I had worked for Mike (Nasvadi) off and on as a bartender at Buzzbin," Hamlin said. "I told him, 'I want to open a coffee shop down here (in the arts district).' We started talking about different places that were available."
Then a man on the barstool next to Hamlin turned and said, "You're interested in that space on Cleveland Avenue?"
"I said yes and he stuck out his hand and said, 'I'm Sam Ferruccio and I own that building. Want to come look at it?' I said sure and three weeks later, I was in."
Hamlin has been clearing, cleaning, renovating and restoring the storefront at 309 Cleveland Ave. N. for the past month. He plans to open Cultured Coffee in December.
"It's a really old building, over 100 years old, so it's challenging remodeling it," he said. He has been doing most of the work himself, starting with removing a drop ceiling, then layers and layers of paint on the walls and wood floors.
"The last few weeks, I've been here all the time," he said. "I just go home to sleep."
Fortunately, he doesn't have far to go.
"For the past year, I've lived here in the arts district. I've always been an artist — went to art school at Kent State.
It's a lot of fun here — always something going on," said Hamlin, 24. "And the networking has helped me a lot. As soon as I signed the lease, everyone down here was, "What can I do to help?'"
When completed, the front of the long, narrow shop will be soft and hard seating, with the coffee counter in the back.
"We're going for a vintage look, with a lot of things in the shop that people call shabby chic," Hamlin said. "My aesthetic is almost as important as my product."
His coffee will be supplied by Coffee Tree Roasters in Pittsburgh.
"Once they roast the beans, within 24 hours they'll be in my shop," he said.
He will be facing competition, going up against two established downtown coffee houses — Carpe Diem and Muggswigz — as well as the new Espresso Yourself, just a couple blocks away.
Hamlin said he plans to be open from 6 a.m. till midnight, and will serve muffins, sandwiches and wraps. He hopes to open Cultured Coffee in time for the Light Up Downtown event on Dec. 5 and First Friday on Dec. 6.

Legislator wants halt to more wind farmsBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
December 19. 2012 11:10PM
BRISTOL - A state representative has proposed legislation calling for a moratorium on all wind-power construction in New Hampshire until the state's energy plan is updated to consider the growing number of proposed projects.
Rep. Harold "Skip" Reilly, R-Grafton County, submitted House Bill 391 on Wednesday. It says that the state's Site Evaluation Committee "shall issue no certificate" until the state's energy plan, which was enacted in 2002, has been revised.
The bill has several co-sponsors and will go to committee when the Legislature starts its new session in January, Reilly said.
"When they came up with the energy plan, they were dealing mostly with natural gas and other forms of alternative energy," he said. "It's time now to re-evaluate where we are going and come up with a comprehensive energy plan."
The bill is in response to proposed wind-power projects in the Newfound Lake/Mount Cardigan area.
Spanish wind company Iberdrola Renewables has just completed a 24-turbine, $120 million 48-megawatt wind farm project in Groton.
Groton selectmen signed a 15-year agreement with the company that will pay the town $528,000 - roughly equivalent to Groton's most recent town budget - in the first year. Each of the project's 24 wind turbines will net the town $22,000 in the years that follow. The SEC issued permits for that project.
Iberdrola is about to begin the state permitting process for its second project in the area, the 37-turbine Wild Meadows Wind Power Project on leased land in the towns of Alexandria, Danbury, and Grafton.
Meanwhile, EDP Renewables of Portugal is proposing a wind farm in the towns of Groton, Alexandria, and Hebron, according to EDP Renewables Project Manager Jeffrey Nemeth. The project would build 15 to 25 turbines along ridgelines near where the three towns meet, just northwest of Newfound Lake and to the east of Mount Cardigan State Park.
The proposed projects have drawn protests from local residents, who fear that the views in the Newfound Lake and Mount Cardigan area would be damaged by the towers, which are lit at night and are about the size of a 40-story building. Residents worry that the local tourist economy would be depressed by the project, and fear environmental effects, such as the potential sound levels from the turbines.
The Newfound Lake Association has come out against the Wild Meadows project, as has nearby Bridgewater's board of selectmen.
Reilly said he researched the newest proposed projects and found that they would not contribute much, if anything, to the state.
"We are exporting a lot of energy as it is, but we are not using that electricity and I don't see that we would get anything out of these projects," he said. "The companies, and a few land owners, are who benefits from this. Our electric rates aren't helped at all."
"They want to use our land and views, and we get nothing," he said.

City looking at solutions for a tough intersectionBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
October 04. 2013 11:19PM
NASHUA - After listening to complaints about downtown traffic congestion from city officials, Alderman Paul Chasse this week suggested that a police officer be assigned to direct traffic at Main Street's busiest intersection.The traffic light at the top of Library Hill on the north end of Main Street seems to be the culprit, according to Chasse, who said it is not signaled correctly and continues to cause traffic problems.The quick fix, he suggested, would be to change the traffic lights to blinking yellow and place a police officer there to direct traffic until a more permanent solution is identified. The four-way intersection near the Hunt Memorial Building is one of the city's busiest intersections.City officials have been addressing the traffic flow in the downtown area for several months, and approved a massive restructuring of the city's traffic signal system last year that is designed to improve traffic flow and air quality.Alderman-at-Large David Deane told the aldermanic Finance Committee on Wednesday that while he appreciates the ongoing project, he still wants something to be done in the interim to fix the traffic bottleneck."It is absolutely insane," Deane told the committee, adding he hopes to live long enough to see the traffic signals corrected so vehicles will no longer back up on Main Street.
The ongoing project, at a cost of $2.3 million, is designed to update existing traffic signal equipment that is up to 20 years old and also improve traffic conditions by reducing crashes at nearly 70 city intersections. The project is being funded with $1.84 million in federal money, with a local match of $460,000.On Wednesday, the committee approved a change order for $89,860 associated with the traffic management system project.
Alderman-at-Large Barbara Pressly questioned what the money is specifically being used for, and whether there is any proof that the changes made up to this point are working."It isn't working," maintained Deane, who is optimistic the additional product purchases will help complete the system so that immediate improvements will be noticed by motorists traveling downtown.
"This has been a disaster for us," agreed Alderman Arthur Craffey, Ward 4, adding he continuously hears concerns from residents about the intersection at East Hollis Street and Main Street.Chasse said the committee should approach Mayor Donnalee Lozeau to see if a traffic detail at the busy Library Hill intersection - at the opposite end of Main Street - might be feasible or beneficial.
Although Lozeau was not present for Wednesday's meeting, she addressed similar concerns by the committee this past summer.Lozeau said previously that attempts to fix some of the problems have been attempted on more than one occasion. She is optimistic that the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality project on Nashua's traffic management system, which is being handled by Vanasse Hangen Brustlin Inc. of Bedford, will remedy some of the traffic flow issues.Synchronization of the traffic signals is expected within a year, Lozeau said at the time. While the results may not be perfect, she anticipates that the changes will make positive adjustments that will be noticed by the community.The future Broad Street Parkway is also expected to remedy the downtown traffic flow, Lozeau said earlier.
In addition, a separate initiative is under way to investigate whether the conversion from one-way to two-way streets may alleviate some traffic congestion.Hoping to improve intersection flow, strengthen transit connections and provide better access to local businesses, VHB is also in the process of conducting a separate, $75,000 downtown roadway circulation study in Nashua.The study has been under way since the beginning of the year. The project includes data, analysis and fieldwork to identify potential strategies to improve mobility and intersection traffic flow on and around Main firstname.lastname@example.com

Kevin Hallenbeck: Power in mutual respect
By KEVIN HALLENBECK
Any worthwhile selling situation requires a level playing field. Inexperienced salespeople often view the buyer as having a superior position.
This is a very common mistake. The buyer and seller have needs equal in value. The salesperson needs to bring in the revenue a sale will generate and the buyer needs the product or service the salesperson is selling to run his or her business — in order to maintain operations, thereby revenue.
An up-front contract is a powerful sales tool that keeps the playing field level and the scales balanced for both a salesperson and the prospect. It essentially sets the ground rules for any new business appointment.
We're not talking about a written agreement that a salesperson whips out for the prospect to sign at the first meeting. What we are talking about is a series of intelligent questions a salesperson should ask a prospect to establish mutual respect for each other's time and the value that each brings to the table. Both the prospect and salesperson have an agenda and each one needs to be ferreted out in an honest way.
As the four basic questions of an up-front contract are logically posed by the salesperson, he'll know where he stands in relation to the prospect's time and priority. The prospect will realize he is dealing with a respectful fellow professional and will usually gain more respect for him or her. The up-front contract is most effective when the questions are well timed and posed conversationally. They go like this:
1. When the prospect first greets you, ask: "How much time have you set aside for our meeting?" The message here is that successful people are busy and we need to respect that fact.
2. The next question helps uncover at least part of the prospect's agenda: "What do you want to talk about today?" Often the prospect will answer with words to the effect of; I want to know what you can do for me and how much will it cost. This helps the prospect feel valued and understood by the salesperson.
3. The next question helps disarm the prospect from dominating the meeting. It is: "Would it be all right if I ask you some questions so I can understand exactly what kind of solution I can offer you?" This sets the basis for having a conversation rather than the salesperson having to give a presentation.
4. The last Up-Front Contract question is in two parts and creates a very powerful agreement. It goes like this: "If after we have this discussion and you feel there just isn't a good fit here, will you please tell me that? OK then, if you are comfortable with the fit, from your perspective, what happens next?" The prospect's answers will reveal a lot about what can happen next. Be particularly careful here to listen to what those next steps can be.
At this point in the conversation, the salesperson can disarm the prospect by letting him know that it's perfectly OK to say, "No, this isn't what we're looking for." This will eliminate the wasted time of following up a prospect who's not really interested and who will continually stall the salesperson in the future. On the positive side, if there is agreement on a good fit for both sides, the salesperson can get beyond the "think it over" situation and on to a clear future — a positive next step toward the sale or, even better, make the sale then and there.
By setting up clear up-front contracts, great salespeople eliminate the "think it over" response, get decisions faster, and spend less time chasing unqualified prospects.

1Password, the Microsoft Surface, and Windows 8
Have you seen the new Microsoft Surface? Judging from our email queues, a lot of you have and are pretty excited about it. We are too, and I'd like to clear up some confusion about 1Password for Windows and Microsoft's new platform.
Long story short: last week Microsoft released Windows RT and the Surface, a slick new tablet it designed in-house. While Windows RT has "Windows" in the name, it's actually an entirely new platform (based on ARM CPUs, similar to what's in Apple's iPhone and iPad) that has its own new way of working both behind the wheel for you, the users, and under the hood for us developers. The new interface, powered by colorful icon tiles that you can customize, is typically referred to as "Metro-style."
There is a second flavor of Microsoft's new OS on the way soon, one that most people will probably be more familiar with: Windows 8 Pro. While Windows 8 Pro contains the same new Metro-style interface of Windows RT, you can switch out to the traditional Windows desktop environment that most Windows users are familiar with, where most traditional Windows apps will work.
Right now, 1Password for Windows doesn't work on the Surface or other Windows-RT-only tablets. However, 1Password for Windows will work in the traditional desktop mode on the upcoming Windows 8 Pro devices, and can even work in Google Chrome's Metro-style version if you install our extension (but not IE). As for Firefox, we're waiting for a Metro-style edition to test.
I know it's a little confusing, but ambitious new projects like this usually are. We're really excited to check out Microsoft's new platform and see what is possible with 1Password. Stay tuned.

Old habits die hard.
We hear the sound of a Michael Bay movie in the distance. Bruce Willis is blowing up stuff with that guy from the Mac ads. We finally finished Proust. It must be time, then, for another edition of the Slate Summer Movies issue. This year, we ponder ninjas, Patrick Swayze, stoners, suburban despair, Brad Bird, rats, one-liners, gunfighters, and the most important question of all: Who invented Junior Mints? So, supersize that Pepsi, find a center seat, and enjoy the show.

If you've got questions... then that's good.
I love answering questions about Mvx and hearing about what users want.
Take a look at all the information that's already available - http://slodge.blogspot.co.uk/p/mvvmcross-quicklist.html
So please feel free to ask questions by:
1. You can post them on StackOverflow - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mvvmcross - please think about your question and provide as much detail as you can - I generally spend about 10 minutes to write a good answer so please also spend 10 minutes writing a good question.
For all questions, please search first - if there are any similar problems/questions then consider referencing them in your question.
For complicated questions, please consider writing a separate small test app which focusses on the problem area, rather than posting all your code - no-one has time to read all your code :)
If you find you have followup questions... then please do not update your question... and please do not ask new questions in comments - open a new question instead :)
2. You can post them on http://forums.xamarin.com - but again the more relevant detail you can provide the better - consider adding a gist for code - http://gist.github.com/
3. If you think it is a bug or a new feature then you can open a new issue on https://github.com/slodge/MvvmCross/issues/new - ideally include some sample code that I can build and run - if you have a test application please put it in a repo somewhere. If I have to make a test app myself for each and every issue then I'll be slower to answer...
4. You can come along to http://jabbr.net/#/rooms/mvvmcross but please don't ask too many questions there - it's not a great place to ask questions to look at code or to share things really - and it's not very searchable so it's hard for answers to benefit others...
Looking forwards to hearing from you all :)

Funeral service is Feb. 1.
Earl Alton Radi, age 91, of Crookston, MN, died Saturday afternoon, January 26, 2013, at the Altru Hospital in Grand Forks, ND, with several of his family, and his pastor, at his side. Earl was born in Lowell Township of Polk County, near Crookston, on November 7, 1921, and was the son of Emil and Selma (Reitmeier) Radi. He was baptized and confirmed at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Crookston, and was a lifelong member of the church. As a youngster he and his family moved to Yacolt, WA, returning to Lowell Township in 1930. Earl attended country school and later worked for his father on the family farm. On November 24, 1946 he was united in marriage to Eleanor Isabelle Olson at St. Paul's. The couple made their home in Crookston and together raised two daughters, Sheila and Brenda. Earl was employed as a milkman for 32 years, working for Supreme Dairy, the Farmers Co-op Creamery, Valley Dairy, Sanitary Dairy, and at the end of his career for Bridgeman-Land O'Lakes Dairy. In semi-retirement he spent 8 years, from 1980 through1988, as a Polk County Commissioner, serving on many county committees during these years as well. Earl became a resident of the Villa St. Vincent in Crookston last March.
Earl and Eleanor enjoyed many fun summer vacations when the girls were younger, and during their golden years had great memories while traveling from the Florida Keys to Canada's Banff National Park, and many points in between. They also spent 17 winters at Trophy Gardens Park in Alamo, TX until about 7 years ago. Summers would find the couple at Lake Winnibigoshish, Red Lake, or Springsteel Island on Lake of the Woods. Earl and Eleanor absolutely loved spending time with their family and enjoying the great outdoors; whether it be camping, hunting, or fishing. Favorite pastimes around the house included flower and vegetable gardening and tending to his raspberries and rhubarb; or tinkering in the garage fixing just about anything. Earl truly loved people and could make anyone laugh. Wherever he went he was constantly making new friends. Earl's faith was one of the most important things in his life. In addition to being one of the oldest members of St. Paul's Lutheran Church; he sang in the choir, gave other 'seniors' rides to church, served on the Board of Deacons, and was Sunday school superintendent for many years. He also helped out regularly with the Home Delivered Meals program. Earl will be very sadly missed by his family and many friends.
Earl is survived by his loving wife of 66 years, Eleanor; 2 daughters, Sheila (Randy) Hanson of Crookston, MN and Brenda (Kim) Nelson of Sioux City, IA; 2 grandsons, Christopher Hanson of New Hope, MN and Michael Hanson (Nerissa Sperling) of Crookston; and a great-grandson, Conner Hanson of Crookston. He also leaves a brother, Lloyd (Rita) Radi of Crookston; a sister-in-law, Marilyn (Charles) Arneson of Watertown, SD; an uncle, Delbert Reitmeier (Dulice) of Moorhead, MN; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and other relatives. Earl was preceded in death by his parents, Emil and Selma; a brother, Dallas Radi; and an infant brother. May God bless Earl's memory.
The funeral service and celebration of the life of Earl Alton Radi will be held at 11:00 a.m., Friday, February 1, 2013, at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Crookston with The Rev. Bill Reck, officiating. Visitation will be at the Stenshoel-Houske Funeral Home on Thursday from 5-7:00 p.m., with a 7:00 p.m. prayer service, and also at the church for one hour prior to the service. Inurnment will be in the Columbarium of Oakdale Cemetery in Crookston.

NASA still perplexed by astronaut's flooded helmet
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (AP) — The spacewalking astronaut who came close to drowning in a flooded helmet searched for clues in his spacesuit Wednesday, in hopes of understanding the unprecedented water leak.
Engineers in Houston, meanwhile, conducted their own investigation into what should have been a routine, yet still risky, maintenance job outside the International Space Station.
But a day after one of NASA's most harrowing spacewalks in decades, answers eluded the experts.
"There still is no smoking gun or definite cause of what happened or why that water ended up" inside Luca Parmitano's spacesuit, said NASA spokesman Kelly Humphries.
Parmitano, Italy's first and only spacewalker, could not hear or speak by the time he re-entered the space station on Tuesday, 1½ hours after stepping out. He also had difficulty seeing because of the big globs of water in his helmet and elsewhere in his suit.
He'd worn the same suit on a spacewalk a week earlier, without mishap.
NASA aborted the second spacewalk because of the deluge and later acknowledged it was a serious situation in which Parmitano could have choked or even drowned. He looked all right, although wet, when his crewmates pulled off his helmet, and was reported to be in fine shape.
"Back to normality on the ISS - Cupola is still a fantastic sight, even after a (very short) EVA," Parmitano wrote Wednesday in a tweet. EVA is NASA shorthand for spacewalk: extravehicular activity. He followed with photos of Italy's Lake Como, the Italian Alps and the Rimini sea resort that he snapped from the station's cupola, or observation deck.
NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg, a crewmate, added via Twitter: "Just happy Luca's safe!"
On Wednesday, Parmitano shined a long flashlight through the ring collar of his suit, while his colleague, American Christopher Cassidy, examined other equipment used Tuesday.
Nothing suspicious popped up, Humphries said.
There are only two sources of water in the suit: a 32-ounce drink bag and a 1-gallon cooling system embedded in long underwear.
NASA has pretty much ruled out the drink pouch. That leaves the cooling system. Specialists detected a higher than normal usage of water from the system's tanks, which could be consistent with Tuesday's leakage, Humphries said.
"No real theory yet on exactly where this water came from or why, but they are doing a very deliberate step by step process of troubleshooting to try to identify what's going on," he said.
Tuesday's close call points out the ever-present dangers of spacewalking, Mission Control managers acknowledged to reporters following the episode.
The next NASA astronaut set to fly to the space station, Michael Hopkins, said the important thing is that the spacewalkers got back in safe, thanks to everyone's quick, appropriate reactions. While "certainly concerned" by Tuesday's events, he said he's confident the mystery will be solved before NASA sends anyone else out the hatch.
"We still don't know what happened, and so in terms of how that's going to impact our flight, we still don't know," Hopkins told reporters. But he added: "We're ready for whatever might get thrown our way."
NASA plans no spacewalks during Hopkins' half-year mission, scheduled to begin in September. Hopkins' two Russian crewmates, on the other hand, are aiming for seven spacewalks before and after December's launch of a new Russian lab.
Russian spacesuits are entirely different than their American counterparts.
Barring an emergency, no further NASA spacewalks are planned anytime soon. The work left undone Tuesday involved a variety of minor chores that had piled up over the past couple of years. Officials said there's no hurry to finish the job.
Spare U.S. spacesuits are on board and could be used in an emergency. The leak problem appears to be limited to Parmitano's suit since Cassidy's outfit worked fine, Humphries said.
Parmitano, 36, a major in the Italian Air Force and a former test pilot, arrived at the space station at the end of May. NASA praised his calm, cool demeanor during Tuesday's crisis. He's supposed to remain aboard the orbiting outpost until November.

Obama: Russia responsible for separatists' behavior
Pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine need to allow international teams to conduct a full and open investigation of the crash of Malaysia Airlines flight 17, President Obama said Monday.
WASHINGTON — President Obama accused Russian-backed separatists in Ukraine of obstructing the international investigation into the missile attack on a Malaysia Airlines flight last week and demanded, "Stop tampering with evidence."
Separatists have fired warning shots as investigators have approached the crash site, Obama said, They've removed evidence, and even made off with the remains of some of the 298 victims, Obama said.
"Which begs the question, what exactly are they trying to hide?" Obama said from the south lawn of the White House Monday, four days after the disaster.
U.S. officials say they believe a surface-to-air missile battery controlled by separatists shot down the passenger jet over Ukrainian territory they control. Their case is based largely on news reports and social media accounts: Russia has provided the separatists with SA-11 systems capable of shooting down a jet at that altitude and trained them to use it, and such systems have been seen moving back into Russia.
"Russian claims to the contrary are getting both more desperate and much harder to believe," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Monday.
Obama called on Russia to put pressure on the separatists to adhere to a cease-fire and let the investigation proceed.
"Given its direct influence over the separatists, Russia — and President (Vladimir) Putin in particular — has a direct responsibility to compel them to cooperate with the investigation. That's the least they can do," Obama said. "Time is of the essence. Our friends and allies need to be able to recover those who were lost. That's the least we can do," Obama said. "The world deserves to know exactly what happened, and the people of Ukraine deserve to determine their own future."
The attack that took down the jetliner happened the day after the U.S. and the European Community escalated sanctions against Russian banks, energy companies, defense industries and individuals.
Senior administration officials are already in discussions with European counterparts to discuss new measures to ramp up the pressure on Russia, Earnest said. "It is clear that Russia has not changed course, and this is why additional sanctions or additional costs remain on the table," he said.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling announced his opposition Friday to uranium mining and milling in Virginia, citing the potential to slow business and job growth in Southside Virginia and concerns about its environmental impact.
The announcement, delivered in Danville with business leaders, is significant because Bolling is Gov. Bob McDonnell's jobs creation chief and proponents of mining have cited its potential to create hundreds of jobs. He also casts the tie-breaking vote in the Virginia Senate. The General Assembly is expected to take up the state's 30-year ban on uranium mining in the 2013 session.
Bolling, a Republican, said he has followed the fierce debate over uranium mining and has "come to the conclusion that the Virginia General Assembly should maintain the ban on uranium mining and milling in Virginia."
"First, I am concerned that removing this ban could have a chilling impact on our efforts to recruit new business, industry and jobs to southern Virginia, and it could also have a harmful impact on numerous existing businesses in the region," Bolling said in prepared remarks provided to The Associated Press. Mining, he said, could undermine efforts to revitalize a Southside economy that has suffered amid the decline of tobacco, furniture manufacturing and textiles.
The argument counters the job creation and revenues Virginia Uranium Inc. has cited as it has lobbied hard to end the 1982 mining moratorium.
In a statement, Virginia Uranium complained that Bolling has refused its invitation to tour the so-called Coles Hill site of the uranium deposit and attempts to brief him on the scientific and technical aspects of its mining and milling plan.
"We took Lt. Gov. Bolling at his word when he claimed to support the expansion of Virginia's nuclear power sector and an `all of the above' approach to energy policy," Patrick Wales, the company's project manager, said in a statement. He added that Bolling is "clearly pursuing a `some of the above' energy policy that is the antithesis of free enterprise and free markets."
Besides the economic impact, Bolling said he has "too many unanswered questions" about how the mining and processing of the ore would potentially affect the environment.
Finally, Bolling said the Southside Virginia delegation to the General Assembly supports the ban, as does the local Chamber of Commerce.
"If political and business leaders in the region that would benefit the most from uranium mining believe the ban should stay in place, politicians in Richmond should not lift the ban against their wishes," Bolling said.
Virginia Uranium wants to operate what would be the first full-fledged uranium mining operation east of the Mississippi. It wants to tap what is the largest known deposit of the ore in the U.S. and one of the largest in the world. It maintains the mining, the separation of ore from rock and the storage of waste for generations can be conducted safely.
Opponents, however, argue that Virginia's wet, storm-prone environment is ill-suited for a mining industry that has been centered primarily in the arid southwest. They fear a release of uranium-laced tailings, or waste, could foul public water supplies for residents as far away as Hampton Roads and farm fields.
Bolling announced in November he would not be seeking his party's nomination for governor, leaving Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli the presumptive nominee. Bolling, however, has not ruled out an independent run for governor.
McDonnell, also a Republican, said he has not formed a position yet on uranium mining.
Sen. John Watkins, R-Powhatan, has proposed legislation to lay the regulatory framework for uranium mining. He said he was disappointed by Bolling's opposition.
"The legislation I am working on is not even complete and may very well address his concerns," Watkins said in a statement. "I would have expected a more thoughtful approach to this issue from Bill given his commitment to creating jobs, particularly in Southside."

Ferrari and Force India reveal F1 cars
Ferrari and Force India launched the third and fourth new cars of the 2013 F1 season this morning, and Sauber and Red Bull launch this weekend. Mercedes meanwhile will unveil Lewis Hamilton's 2013 contender on Monday. Why the rush? Well, next Tuesday dear TopGear.commers, the season starts in anger with the first official test. We'll see the remaining cars then, all save the Williams FW35 which won't appear until the second official test on 19th February.
Whether you were there or not, the McLaren launch was some event, with a touchingly brave little film that took 'Bruce McLaren' back to the scene of the 1970 Goodwood accident that killed him (you can watch it here). Race cars and road cars were all mixed up to get the message across that MacPeople are more than just racers. No such kerfuffle over in Maranello this morning. They have a very simple way of mixing road and racing red at Ferrari: they just call the Grand Prix car 'the single seater'. We love that.
Officially Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa's new F138 (from '2013' and 'V8', suggesting next year's turbo car will be the '146', which last time we looked was an especially crappy Alfa Romeo), is an evolution of last year's albeit with a 'modesty panel' to hide the step in the nose. Both the front (copied by McLaren on the Mac28 in what techies are suggesting is a brave move) and rear suspensions are the alternative pull-rod types, where the rocker arm is attached to the bottom of the tub. It's better for centre of gravity, but as Ferrari's drivers found out at the start of last season, it can mess with the handling. But hey if Ferrari and McLaren are going with it, who are we to argue.
It is needed because both cars have pushed the front of the tub structure as high as they can to open the way for the breeze to get tidily to the back of the car; the higher the tub, the higher the CoG, hence the pull rod rocker, geddit? Ferrari say the car is all new, and who are we to say? The nose and gorgeous new red white and black paint jobs plus some new sponsors (including its first Chinese partner, Weichai Power) aside, it looks a lot like the F2012.
Then again, that car did nearly win the title. Significantly the car was developed in Toyota's old F1 tunnel in Germany after Ferrari discovered last season that, once again, its wind tunnel was not telling them what they thought it was. The official tunnel - it's in a space-age pod designed by the bloke who designed London's Shard - is officially out of commission for now. That can't make things easy. Gulp.
Meanwhile over at Silverstone Force India became the first F1 team to show a 2013 car in motion. Maybe because the team has been the subject of an awful lot of gossip regarding their finances this winter; "look! We've made a new car and it works and everything!" However, having only the one driver on hand probably didn't help silence the naysayers. Paul di Resta looked typically Paul di Resta (is he shy? Is he sulky? We're not sure anymore to be honest), ignoring the fact he seemed to have tweeted a 'welcome-to-the-team' Bruno Senna note, only to delete it. Bruno is in the frame for the drive and we hope he gets it, he raced well last year. He just needed to nail qualifying. Last year was his first proper complete season, don't forget.
The Force India VJM06 Mercedes, like the Mac28 and the new Ferrari, again takes advantage of the cosmetic rules that allow the step in the levels of the nose to be covered with a 'modesty panel' and it looks pretty sharp, we think. Tech details are thin on the ground, the team just saying it's "pushed hard" in all areas. Well you would hope so, wouldn't you? Whether you were being paid or not.

Kem Sisson, Money Movers, Inc
Many of the software companies I have dealt with lately say they offer support, but it turns out to be a user forum they do not monitor or a superficial listing of worthless FAQs. That is not the case with ScreenOCR. Their support team has been personable, knowledgeable and very helpful in working with me to solve my problem.
