Triumphant Boston celebrates Series in grand styleBy Daniel Lovering
November 02. 2013 7:09PM
BOSTON - Revelers packed the streets of Boston on Saturday to celebrate the Red Sox' first World Series win at home since 1918, a triumph that came just six months after deadly bombings at the Boston Marathon tested the city's resolve.
Players and officials boarded duck boats - amphibious vehicles normally used to ferry tourists - at historic Fenway Park for a "rolling rally" that would wind its way along city streets and into the Charles River.
Jubilant fans wearing Red Sox hats, sweatshirts and jackets turned out in droves along the route, which included the stretch of Boylston Street where two homemade pressure-cooker bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15, killing three people and injuring 264.
"For me, it's a huge thing," said Justin Perkins, 32, a construction worker from Worcester, who grew a beard to show support for the team's bearded players. "For them to win it in Boston, it's awesome, unbelievable."
At the site of the marathon tragedy, Jonny Gomes and other players climbed out of their duck boat and placed the team's World Series trophy at the finish line. They also presented Red Sox jerseys to owners of businesses devastated by the attack, one of the worst on U.S. soil since Sept. 11, 2001.
Before the parade began, thousands of season ticket holders and other fans gathered at Fenway Park, where players and officials, including Gov. Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, addressed the crowd.
"It's kind of a poetic ending to a season that began with tragedy," said Patrick, who pointed out survivors of the bombings in the stands.
"To see the team come from where it came last season to where we are right now, to see this whole city and community come from where we were then to where we are right now, is incredibly affirming and very powerful,'' he said.
The Red Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 4 games to 2, to win the World Series on Wednesday night.
The title was their first at home since 1918, the last year Babe Ruth was with the team before being traded to the New York Yankees. The team went 86 years between World Series victories before breaking its drought in 2004.
"This team embodies the perseverance and resilience of our city," Mayor Menino said in a statement earlier.
At Fenway Park, Red Sox slugger David Ortiz, who won the Series' Most Valuable Player award, said he felt "like a million bucks."
"We stick together," he said of the city. "It's a family, and we fight against the world. You guys start it up, we'll finish it."
The American Celtic punk music group Dropkick Murphys, which performed the national anthem before Game 6 on Wednesday night, played from the back of a truck that was part of the parade. At one point, as the parade wound out of the ballpark, the truck got stuck in the mud.
Several of the 24 duck boats had large fabric "beards" draped across their bows in a nod to the symbol of the team's sense of brotherhood, and fans streamed onto the field under blue skies as soon as the boats left the park.

Man Gets a Justin Bieber Tattoo – But Is It Real? [PHOTO]
TMZ scored a photo of a suspiciously happy dude who apparently got a Justin Bieber tattoo.
Now, something tells us that anytime now we'll find out that this is photoshop fake. Or, it's a viral marketing campaign for Justin Bieber's face. Or, this guy just really likes Justin Bieber, and there's nothing wrong with that.
That said, alcohol (or other substances) can make you do some weird things.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
OverviewLice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) are small, wingless insects, permanently parasitic on mammals and birds. The order is one of approximately thirty major groups of insects, and is divided into four suborders, three of which (the Amblycera, Ischnocera, and Rhynchophthirina) are known as chewing or biting lice, and the fourth (the Anoplura) as sucking lice. Amblycera and Ischnocera are found on both mammals and birds where as species of Rhynchophthirina and Anoplura are confined to mammals. In total there are approximately 5,000 known species, of which just under 70% are recorded from a single host species.

Although it was still dark as we unloaded our gear, the obvious sounds of the gobbling Tom turkeys could be heard coming from the nearby trees. Anxious to get set-up, I hurried my grandson Dex and informed him again of the need for our being as quiet as possible.
Throughout the setting up of our blind and the locating of our turkey decoys, the ever-present sounds of the awakening turkeys elevated our pulse rates and pushed us into a modified "warp speed set-up!"
Shortness of patience was evident on my part as my young and somewhat inexperienced grandson did his very best to assist with the necessary aspects of our preparations. However, he performed like an experienced hunter and finally we could exhale and seat ourselves in the ready position inside our pop-up blind.
The decoys were positioned within twenty to twenty-two yards, the range of the .410 Gauge shotgun Dex was using, a shotgun my own Dad had acquired as a youth and I'd been blessed to inherit. Although Dad was no longer physically with us, his spirit was and we were all eager and ready for this new and exciting adventure. A prayer for safety and success having been already said, we anxiously awaited the fly-down of the turkeys.
As darkness disappeared, the hens were letting the Tom's know where they were and as we peered through the early morning light, we watched them fly down, one-by-one, with the Tom's close behind.
Once on the ground, the flock grouped together with the hens leading and slowly feeding towards our location. The Tom's were trailing and fanned out in their glory for all to see. It appeared that strutting with puffed chests truly is a male thing!
Regardless of which calling method I used, they initially seemed oblivious to my pleading and their procession seemed to have a predetermined route. Finally a large Tom showed interest and broke from the flock and wandered within range of my 12 gauge shotgun, but he still wouldn't come to the decoys and within range of Dex's .410. Page #2
Not wanting to spoil Dex's opportunity for the first shot, I held my shot and reluctantly watched as the Long-beard turned and rejoined the flock…… Double Damn!!!! Within minutes another Tom broke from the crowd and seemed interested in making friends with our decoys.
Having already coached Dex as to where to shoot a turkey; "where the pretty ends and the ugly begins", meaning the neck region, I told him to not move until I gave him the okay.
The Tom continued to close the distance until he was within the group of decoys and realized that they weren't as welcoming as he had hoped for. His body language indicated that it was about time to flee, when I instructed Dex to slowly raise his shotgun, aim at the neck and squeeze the trigger.
When you're sitting next to someone and coaching, time seems to move in reverse and after what appeared to be an eternity, the shotgun barked, the smoke cleared and the Tom had met his match! A few flaps later, our anticipated prize had been successfully harvested.
With some of the birds still within viewing distance, I told Dex that we'd remain quiet and see what might happen next. For a brief instance, another bird seemed intent on also coming to our decoys, but he must have decided that the fate his buddy had met wasn't worth meeting the new and enticing girlfriend decoys we had waiting for him.
As he wandered off, Dex and I high-fived, hugged and gave thanks for a very special and wonderful hunting experience together and for the spirit of his great-grandfather, who was with us and shared in this rewarding outdoor adventure.
We retrieved Dex's trophy, a legitimate Tom, and my camera was soon clicking out our memories. The pictures of this event show a very proud and grateful grandson and his grandfather sharing an incredibly special moment, with the wide grins to prove it.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The corruption trial for ex-Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife plunged Tuesday into the sordid details of the couple's marriage and the former first lady's "crush" on a businessman who, according to prosecutors, lavished them with gifts and cash in exchange for promoting his company.
The McDonnells are charged in a 14-count indictment with accepting more than $165,000 in loans, designer clothes, vacations and a Rolex watch from Jonnie Williams, the CEO of dietary supplements maker Star Scientific. If convicted, they could face decades in prison.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica Aber said during opening statements that McDonnell and his wife betrayed the public's trust by lining their pockets with "secret gifts and cash." McDonnell, a once-rising star in the Republican party who left office in January, had a duty "not to sell the power and influence of his office to the highest bidder," Aber said.
Attorneys for the McDonnells told jurors the governor did what any of his predecessors would do for a Virginia-based company. They questioned Williams' character and said the couple couldn't have been scheming together because their marriage was falling apart.
Maureen McDonnell's lawyer, William A. Burck, said the former first lady was "duped" by Williams into thinking he cared for her and she and her husband were pretending to be a happy couple.
"They were barely on speaking terms," Burck said.
A lawyer for the former governor said Bob McDonnell will testify on his own behalf and read an email in which he begged his wife to work things out with him.
"It fell upon blind eyes and deaf ears because that evening, Maureen was distracted by other interests," defense attorney John Brownlee said.
Brownlee said the government went to great lengths looking for people to say bad things about his client, even sending investigators to interview former presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his wife, and "came up empty." McDonnell was widely mentioned as a possible Romney running mate in 2012.
Brownlee said the long hours Bob McDonnell spent at work fueled Maureen McDonnell's anger and resentment.
"She hated him for not being around, for serving the public night and day and not having anything left for her," Brownlee said.
The McDonnell's daughter, Cailin McDonnell Young, testified that she had to go through her father's scheduler in order see him. He would sometimes he take days to return phone calls.
"I barely ever saw my father," she said.
Young testified that Williams paid about $15,000 for catering at her wedding reception at the Executive Mansion.
"Our wedding now has a black cloud over it because of all that has happened and you can't look back at it with a happy memory," she testified.
The McDonnells arrived separately at federal court over the past two days, a sharp contrast to the united front they showed when they were indicted 10 days after he left office in January. Before the trial, they often held hands in the courthouse.
The McDonnells' attorneys sought to have them tried separately, but the judge refused. The former first lady's attorneys have suggested that she was not an elected or paid official and therefore not tied to the same scrutiny as her husband.
Burck said Williams and Maureen frequently exchanged text messages and phone calls, and that Williams often visited the Executive Mansion. Burck said the pair had a relationship that "some people would consider inappropriate" and that one potential witness may describe Williams as Maureen McDonnell's "favorite playmate." He did not indicate that their relationship was physical.
Joseph E. diGenova, a former federal prosecutor not affiliated with the case, said the defense team is airing details of the couple's troubled marriage as a way "to create some sympathy" and show that Bob McDonnell could have been unaware of the dealings between Maureen McDonnell and Williams.
"There's always a risk the jury will think it's a ploy," diGenova said.
Aber, the prosecutor, told the jury that the gifts and frequent text messaging between Williams and Maureen McDonnell were "always just a business relationship and nothing more."
She showed the jury a photo of Bob McDonnell, smiling broadly and wearing sunglasses, driving Williams' Ferrari during a vacation at Williams' lake house.
The former governor is accused of setting up a meeting between Williams and a state health official, hosting a product launch reception at the Executive Mansion and attending a dinner and seminar aimed at persuading doctors to recommend a Star Scientific product.
Brownlee said McDonnell, whose campaign slogan was "Bob's for Jobs," spoke favorably of all Virginia businesses.
"Bob McDonnell eats Virginia ham, he drinks Virginia wine, and my guess is if he smoked he'd smoke Virginia cigarettes," Brownlee said.
Brownlee attacked Williams' credibility, calling him a "master manipulator" who deceived the McDonnells and the government to receive immunity. Williams may have illegally sold $10 million worth of Star Scientific shares to a friend in secret, according to Burck.

DistributionRead full entry
Range DescriptionShepherd's beaked whales are primarily known from a few dozen strandings, all south of 30S, around New Zealand, southern Australia, southern South America, the Juan Fernandez Islands, and Tristan de Cunha (Mead 1989). There have been only a few sightings reported in the literature and the validity of most of those is suspect (or clearly erroneous. The confirmed sightings have been from south of Tasmania and in oceanic waters of the South Atlantic (Pitman et al. 2006). The majority of strandings have occurred in New Zealand. It is presumed that they have a circumpolar distribution in cold temperate waters of the Southern Hemisphere (MacLeod et al. 2006). It is possible that the species may be somewhat more widespread than the records suggest, since it was not likely to be accurately identified at sea until its recent re-description (Pitman et al. 2006).

Thursday evening sees the kickoff to the 2014 edition of the Sundance Film Festival, the annual indie confab that is the site of plenty of industry dealmaking and celeb-spotting as half of Hollywood seems to descend on Park City, Utah, for 10 days of hard-core movie-watching and celebrating.
The 2014 lineup features 117 feature-length films culled from more than 4,000 submissions, and a handful of those have a decidedly Hero Complex bent. With that in mind, here are 10 films to look out for. Some might be hard to find — Sundance movies don't always land national theatrical distribution — but with VOD and online viewing options multiplying at a rapid clip, chances are good you'll have the opportunity to see these titles in some fashion in the months ahead.
The Babadook: In Australian writer-director Jennifer Kent's supernatural thriller, Essie Davis stars as a single mother whose son (Noah Wiseman) becomes fearful of a monster lurking in the house — a creature straight out of a spooky storybook with sinister aims. If the trailer for the film is any indication, the actress-turned-filmmaker appears to have conjured a chilling, evocative horror film, one that just might possibly introduce a new boogeyman into the cinematic pantheon. The film also stars Daniel Henshall, Hayley McElhinney, Barbara West and Ben Winspear.
Cooties: An elementary school gets hit with a virus that turns its students into savages in the oddball horror comedy directed by Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion and written by Leigh Whannell ("Saw," "Insidious") and Ian Brennan. Elijah Wood stars as the hero who leads the teachers in their fight for their lives. The cast includes Rainn Wilson, Alison Pill, Jack McBrayer, "Saturday Night Live's" Nasim Pedrad and Whannell.
Dead Snow: Red vs. Dead: After trying his hand in Hollywood with last year's R-rated fairy-tale action film "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters," Norway's Tommy Wirkola returns to the storyline that helped make his name in indie horror circles with a sequel to 2009's "Dead Snow." That film centered on a group of friends who, during a mountain retreat, run afoul of a battalion of former Nazi soldiers that had turned into zombies; the new movie picks up with Vegar Hoel's Martin taking on the undead menace with a little bit of help. Expect lots of absurd black comedy and, most likely, copious amounts of blood and gore.
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night: A lonely vampire stalks the unsavory residents of an Iranian ghost town called Bad City in the first feature-length film from writer-director Ana Lily Amirpour. The black-and-white Farsi-language film, which is being billed as a western with an unusual romantic twist, stars Sheila Vand, Arash Marandi, Dominic Rains, Marshall Manesh, Mozhan Marnó and Milad Eghbali. It's also one of a number of notable movies playing in Park City this year from and about Iran.
I Origins: Writer-director Mike Cahill ("After Earth") returns to Park City with a new existential sci-fi indie — this time about a molecular biologist (Michael Pitt) and his lab partner who come to question their thinking about science and spirituality in the face of a startling discovery with potentially life-altering ramifications. The cast includes "Another Earth" star Brit Marling as well as Astrid Bergès-Frisbey ("Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides") and Steven Yeun ("The Walking Dead").
Killers: The Indonesian duo known as the Mo Brothers follow up their debut feature "Macabre" with the story of two violent men, one in Jakarta, one in Tokyo, who post videos of their crimes online in an unhinged bid for notoriety. Eventually they meet in a tense, bloody confrontation. Kazuki Kitamura, Oka Antara, Rin Takanashi, Luna Maya and Ray Sahetapy star.
Life After Beth: A new entry in the very, very specific subgenre of zombie romantic comedy, writer-director Jeff Baena's new film centers on the relationship between Dane DeHaan's Zach and Aubrey Plaza's Beth. He's devastated by her sudden, tragic death, but unexpectedly finds himself with a second chance at love. The cast also includes turns from John C. Reilly, Molly Shannon, Cheryl Hines and Paul Reiser.
Only Lovers Left Alive: Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton play immortal lovers in writer-director Jim Jarmusch's moody vampire romance. The haunting chamber piece centers on the relationship between brooding raven-haired musician Adam (Hiddleston) and platinum-blond bohemian Eve (Swinton), and like last year's underrated "Byzantium" from director Neil Jordan, underscores that there is still rich narrative territory to be mined when it comes to the mythic (and recently overexposed) monsters.
To Be Takei: Director Jennifer Kroot spends time with "Star Trek" actor George Takei in this documentary that charts his life from his time in an internment camp to his stint on Gene Roddenberry's landmark series and on through his present-day life as an actor and gay rights activist.
The Voices: Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud's animated feature-film version of her graphic-novel memoir "Persepolis" earned the duo an Oscar nomination, and the pair's follow-up, "Chicken With Plums," also found favor with critics. Which leads moviegoers to expect great things from "The Voices," an oddball story about a disturbed factory worker (Ryan Reynolds) who accidentally murders a colleague and then finds himself spurred on a fantastical journey by his talking dog and cat. Michael R. Perry wrote the script for the film, which also stars Gemma Arterton, Anna Kendrick and Jacki Weaver.

PERTH, Australia, CMC – West Indies speedster Kemar Roach saved his best for last, producing a superb spell to help propel Brisbane Heat to the capture of the Australian Big Bash title here today.
The right-armer finished with three for 18 from four accurate overs as Brisbane successfully defended 167, to snatch a 34-run win in the final of the tournament at the WACA Ground.
Choosing to bat first, Brisbane were led by Joe Burns who struck 43 from 27 balls with four fours and two sixes, while opener Luke Pomersbach and Daniel Christian both weighed in with 37 apiece.
Pomersbach and Burns laid the foundation for the innings with a 56-run second wicket stand off 47 balls, as Brisbane finished on 167 for five from their 20 overs.
In reply, Perth got 49 off 32 balls from Adam Voges with Marcus North chipping in with 24 from 23 deliveries, as they climbed to within sight of victory at 97 for four in the 14th over.
Roach had endured an ordinary run in the Big Bash with just two wickets in his previous seven games but roared to life when it mattered most.
He plucked out opener Marcus Stoinis (1) cheaply in the second over to a catch by Nathan Hauritz at third man, to leave Perth on five for one.
Pulled from the attack after two overs, Roach returned to snap up two more wickets late in the game as Perth lost five wickets for five runs in the space of 14 deliveries, to slide to defeat.
With Perth needing 44 runs from 18 balls, Roach grabbed two wickets in the 18th over that yielded just three runs.
He had Simon Katich caught at deep cover without scoring off a slower ball and then removed danger man Voges to a catch at deep mid-wicket two balls later.

One of three original divisions of hobbit-kind, along with the Harfoots and Stoors. The Fallohides were the least numerous of the three branches, and originally dwelt in the northern parts of Middle-earth.
The Nature of the Fallohides
In appearance, Fallohides were taller and slimmer of build than the other Hobbits, with some growing to four feet or more in height. Both their skin and their hair tended to be fair, and no Fallohide ever grew a beard. Fallohidish culture was much more open to outside influence than that of the Stoors or Harfoots; they were friendlier with the other races of Middle-earth than their cousins, especially the Elves. Perhaps because of this, they were skilled in both song and speech.
While the other two branches of hobbit-kind were pastoral and rustic in nature, the Fallohides retained a hunting tradition, and so were naturally bolder and more inquisitive than their relatives, but less gifted in the arts of farming and agriculture.
The History of the Fallohides
The Fallohides seem to have dwelt originally on the upper reaches of the River Anduin, in the region where the Greylin and the Langwell flowed into the Great River. It is likely that they mixed with the ancestors of the Rohirrim at this time, for the Northmen also dwelt in this region, and this is likely the origin of the legend of the holbytlan found in Rohan. At the end of the first millennium of the Third Age, evil things began to stir in the east of Middle-earth, and many peoples, including the ancestral Hobbits, began to travel westward across the Misty Mountains. The first Hobbits to enter Eriador were the Harfoots; the Fallohides deserted their northern homes in around 1150 (Third Age), and crossed the Mountains to the north of Rivendell, at the sources of the River Hoarwell.
The tribes of the Fallohidish Hobbits travelled slowly down the course of the Hoarwell, and westward across Eriador. They eventually settled in the region around Bree, in c.1300 (Third Age), where their adventurous and intrepid natures made them natural leaders of the other Hobbits they found there. It was presumably at about this time that the three strains of Hobbits began to mix freely for the first time.
Three hundred years later (in the year 1601 of the Third Age), two Fallohide brothers, Marcho and Blanco, travelled westward again from Bree with their followers and crossed the Bridge of Stonebows (later the Brandywine Bridge). They settled in the empty land that they found there and were granted it by King Argeleb II of Arthedain, in whose realm it lay. This was the land that was to become known as the Shire.
As the centuries passed, the three distinct strains of the Hobbits gradually began to disappear as they mingled with one another in the Shire. Nonetheless, there were families that retained a strong line of Fallohidish blood, and the impetuosity that went with it. At the time of the War of the Ring, the Fallohidish line was still well represented in the families of the Tooks and the Brandybucks.

Oil prices fall as U.S. oil supply rises to a record for as long as the Energy Information Administration has been keeping records. You have to go back almost 70 years to find a time when energy supplies were this high at this time of year. The reason is because of the continuing surge in U.S. and Canadian oil production and low crude runs as refiners are in maintenance.
The Energy Information Agency reported that U.S. crude oil refinery inputs averaged slightly over 14.0 million barrels per day during the week ending March 1 2013,480 barrels per day below the previous week's average. Refineries operated at 82.2 percent of their operable capacity last week. Gasoline production decreased last week, averaging just over 8.6 million barrels per day. Distillate fuel production decreased last week, averaging less than 4.3 million barrels per day.
U.S. crude oil imports averaged over 7.3 million barrels per day last week; down by 650 thousand barrels per day from the previous week. Over the last four weeks, crude oil imports have averaged over 7.6 million barrels per day, 1.3 million barrels per day below the same four-week period last year. Total motor gasoline imports (including both finished gasoline and gasoline blending components) last week averaged 605 thousand barrels per day. Distillate fuel imports averaged 112 thousand barrels per day last week.
U.S. commercial crude oil inventories (excluding those in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve) increased by 3.8 million barrels from the previous week. At 381.4 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are well above the upper limit of the average range. Finished gasoline inventories decreased while blending components inventories increased last week. Distillate fuel inventories decreased by 3.8 million barrels last week and are near the lower limit of the average range for this time of year.
The bottom line is that the bottom for oil is not in yet. We should get a rebound, though, as traders look ahead to the summer driving turnaround. Yet the short term will be choppy. Try to take advantage of the ranges and do not marry a position just yet. Play the field.
Cushing, OK supply with the reversal of the Seaway has been all the rage, yet one reason we saw drawdowns in supply in recent weeks may be because of rail. Reuters News reports, "Oil traders have been perplexed by the changes in inventories at Cushing, Oklahoma. Simply put, the numbers do not add up. Fancy models of pipelines are not getting the figures right. But it seems there may be another factor: Trains.
"And behind them, energy trading giant Mercuria. Mercuria is among the companies quietly shipping some 40,000 barrels per day of crude oil sourced out of Oklahoma to destinations on the U.S. Gulf Coast, according to oil trading and rail industry sources. The oil, equivalent to about 15% of state output, may also include out-of-state crude delivered to Oklahoma tank farms, including those at Cushing, the delivery point for NYMEX West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures, trade sources said. Using short-line railway Farmrail, oil traders are sending 60 or more tank cars of crude a day to connections with other railroads, allowing Oklahoma crude to reach destinations such as Lake Charles and St James in Louisiana, a source familiar with the Oklahoma rail industry said.
"A standard oil tank car holds about 720 barrels of crude. Activity is so busy on the Farmrail line that new business is being turned away, the rail industry source added. Oklahoma crude has traditionally been piped to the tank farms at Cushing for onward sale to refineries throughout the U.S. Midwest."

Manchester Crimewatch: Sisters plead innocent to punching mother in head
November 08. 2012 11:50PM
Two sisters who are accused of punching their mother in the head, during an argument, were arraigned Thursday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on simple assault charges.
Christina Asbury, 27, and Jillian Asbury, 23, both of 440 Kennard Road, pleaded innocent and trials were set for Dec. 20.
Jillian Asbury was also arraigned on a criminal mischief charge for which she failed to appear Oct. 16. That trial was also set for Dec. 20.
That charge alleges she ripped her ex-boyfriend's mailbox off the wall at a Pearl Street address.
Bail for both women was set at $500 cash. Jillian asked Judge William Lyons for personal recognizance bail, but he said her failure to appear barred that.
Conditions of the two women's bail bar contact with their mother and bar them from the Kennard Street address.
Mistaken identity, victim at fault
Fadhil Al-Jibury, 25, of 25 Walker St., could enter no plea Thursday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to a felony charge of first degree assault that alleges he hit a man with oars in Sullivan Park, causing injuries, including one that required stitches.
Al-Jibury told Judge William Lyons that information was all wrong, that the alleged victim was to blame, that he set up the meeting.
Lyons set bail at the $50,000 cash/surety requested by the police prosecutors. A probable cause hearing on the felony charge was set for Nov. 19.
Claimed he wasn't driving
Andrew Blanchard, 23, of South McIndoes Falls, Vt., pleaded innocent Thursday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to charges of possession of a controlled drug, false report of an accident, Driving While Intoxicated and DWI concentration (.08 or more).
Blanchard is accused of claiming another man was the driver on Perimeter Road, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and having in his possession synthetic marijuana.
Bail was set at $1,000 cash/surety with a trial date of Dec. 20.
Wants same laywer from other charge
Tyler Edwards, 18, of 456 Cartier St., pleaded innocent Thursday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to a charge of receiving stolen property for having a gun case and cleaning kit that had been reported stolen from a car.
Edwards, who asked at pre-arraignment if he could have the same lawyer as he has for another receiving stolen property charge, told Judge William Lyons that his girlfriend brought the "stuff' over and put it in his mother's shed.
The police prosecutors sought $1,000 cash/surety bail, but Edwards pleaded with Judge Lyons for personal recognizance, saying he is a full-time student and works part time with his father. He said all he has is $109.
Lyons set bail at $100 cash and $900 personal recognizance.
Trial was set for Jan. 23, 2013.

And guess what? "Annoying Orange" (7:30 p.m. June 11, Cartoon Network; 2 stars out of 4) is just as obnoxious as the title claims. But that doesn't mean it's not occasionally funny. I chuckled at least twice during the premiere.
Dane Boedigheimer, creator of the original web series, co-created the TV series with Tom Sheppard and The Collective using the Syncro-Vox animation technique popularized by Conan O'Brien (human mouth on an inanimate object).
The obnoxious piece of produce in the title irritates the heck out of his fruity friends--including level-headed Pear, possible gal-pal Passion Fruit, goody-goody Apple, upbeat Marshmallow and Orange's nemesis Grapefruit--with bad puns and other kitchen/supermarket/anywhere-they-roam carnage. Cartoon Network promises Orange and the fruit-stand gang will venture from the prehistoric era to colonial times during the season.
The TV series introduces a new human character, Nerville (played by YouTube star Toby Turner), the owner of the fruit stand where Orange and his fruit salad of friends live.
Lending their voices to various fruits and veggies this season will be Michael Clarke Duncan, Jeffrey Tambor, Tim Curry, Tony Hawk, Malcolm McDowell, Billy Dee Williams, Leah Remini, Tom Kenny, John DiMaggio, Nick Swordson, Danny Trejo and Felicia Day.
In the premiere, Orange--or "Captain Blood Orange"--and friends are pirates taking on carts of veggies and eventually a group of creepy corn-on-the-cobs. You'll "ear" a lot of "Children of the Corn" type jokes.
"Orange" you glad I didn't do puns throughout this review? Yes? Maybe you won't want to watch "Annoying Orange."

Carleton is lucky to have this 1930s original edition print by Paul Cadmus (1904–99, United States). It is a raucous scene of sailors carousing with women by an artist best known for mural-scale paintings. In fact, Cadmus did a large-scale painting for the U.S. Department of the Navy that was rejected because the admiral in charge felt it wasn't a wholesome way to present American sailors. The irony is that Cadmus was gay—even in Shore Leave you see particular attention paid to the male anatomy.
The etching is from a group of prints, mostly cityscapes and landscapes by 19th- and early-20th-century European and American printmakers, given to Carleton by the Pomerat family of Texas. They were friends of Thurlo Thomas, a zoology professor at Carleton from 1946 to 1973.

Yoga Day fundraising event expands to full weekendBy MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
January 22. 2014 12:10AM
KEENE — In its seventh incarnation, Yoga Day has expanded to a two-day event.
Yoga Weekend is Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Home Healthcare, Hospice and Community Services office on Marlboro Street.
The event was created by Home Healthcare, Hospice and Community Services volunteer and yoga teacher Josephine Russell.
"Last year we made about $12,000. The year before that it was about $7,000, so it is definitely growing," Marilyn Shriver, director of development at Home Healthcare, Hospice and Community Services, who organizes the event with Russell.
Yoga Day was always held on a Sunday, Shriver said. This year Russell and her son Bryan Russell, who is a yoga instructor, wanted to open the event up to people who cannot attend on Sunday, Shriver said.
"Over the two days there will be more than 50 classes over 40 instructors," Shriver said.
There are also several other activities from massage, chanting, meditation and acupuncture for people to try.
Admission is by donation, and there are gift bags at the $40, $75 and $100 or more level, Shriver said."It supports the general program, which could be care for people who are uninsured or under insured. A lot of people have insurance, but they have outrageous deductibles. We also use the money to provide items that are not covered by insurance, but can profoundly affect the quality of life of the hospice patient and their family."
Doors open at 8 a.m. with classes starting at 9 a.m. Breakfast and lunch are being donated by the Works in Keene.

Recently, The United States Attorney's Office, Civil Rights Unit (MA) entered into a Voluntary Compliance Agreement with Hudson Public School District (MA) on the topic of "telepresence" through robotic assistive technology. The U.S. Attorney's Office cites the duty to ensure effective communication for the District's students under the ADA. Specifically, the Agreement addresses the use of services and auxiliary aids that can assist a student to benefit from school, and allow the District to meet its effective communication obligation.
When last we wrote on this topic in spring of 2016, the Department of Justice (DOJ) was set to issue proposed regulations on web information and services for state and local governments. In a turn of events, the DOJ instead issued a rare Supplemental Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SANPRM) in "order to solicit public comment on various issues relating to the potential application of such technical requirements to the websites of Title II entities and to obtain information for preparing a regulatory impact analysis."
We celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 2015. As we look to the future, an increasingly important area to address is web accessibility. Since the passing of the ADA, the internet has dramatically changed the way that government entities …Continue Reading Web Accessibility Requirements for State and Local Government Web Content
One of the mandates of MOD is to provide technical and legal assistance to Executive Branch agencies and local Commissions on Disability (CODs). So we endeavor to apprise them of significant changes to disability related laws. CODs advise and assist municipal officials and employees in ensuring compliance with state and federal laws and regulations that impact persons with disabilities. Recently, the Massachusetts Open Meeting Law, which guides how public meetings must operate, was amended to aid CODs.
On July 30, 2015 Governor Baker announced new administration-wide procedures in regard to public records requests, in order to improve access to government records and information. These new procedures will serve to increase access to all members of the public, including persons with disabilities, which is in alignment with our office's statutory mandate to ensure access in all aspects of life.
The Massachusetts Office on Disability (MOD) regularly responds to service animal related questions from the public. So, we are pleased to share a new update with you. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) published new, comprehensive guidance entitled "Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Service Animals and the ADA" on July 13, 2015. The FAQ addresses the application of the law in areas that were previously unclear and is unique in that it is the first guidance to discuss specific questions asked by the public about service animals. Here are some highlights that our staff consider particularly noteworthy.

Iterative algorithms occur in many domains of data analysis, such as machine learning or graph analysis . Such algorithms are crucial in order to realize the promise of Big Data to extract meaningful information out of your data. With increasing interest to run these kinds of algorithms on very large data sets, there is a need to execute iterations in a massively parallel fashion.
Flink programs implement iterative algorithms by defining a step function and embedding it into a special iteration operator. There are two variants of this operator: Iterate and Delta Iterate . Both operators repeatedly invoke the step function on the current iteration state until a certain termination condition is reached.step function Iterate Delta Iterate
Here, we provide background on both operator variants and outline their usage. The
VWU Unisex Lovers Couple Slippers Women Men Soft Sole Stripes Cotton Linen Flax Slide Slippers Indoor House Slippers Linen Red SM0buS
explains how to implement the operators in both Scala and Java. We also support both vertex-centric and gather-sum-apply iterations through Flink's graph processing API, Gelly .
The following table provides an overview of both operators:

text: Doomsday Book is a South Korean anthology film from directors and co-writers Kim Ji-woon and Yim Pil-sung. Through the course of three, forty-five minute segments we are pulled through the final moments leading to possible apocalyptic events. Literally translated to English the title reads "Report on the Destruction of Mankind". Though the subject matter may call to mind a host of grimly violent, depressive, and stomach churning cannibalistic fare (see what I did there?) the segments are nicely balanced with a healthy dose of humor and hope.

Strategies in terms of Love and Marriage sounds opportunistic but do plan to review
as myths and hopes change over time. This is doubly important when a
second marriage is involved. You won't want to change conditions in the hospital.
I'm James Cloonan, Chairman and Founder of AAII.
I wrote "A Lifetime Strategy for Investing" to help everyday investors simplify their process and make smarter financial decisions, and I very much want you to benefit from its advice.
AAII is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit investment educator.
Many employees think of their 401(k) plan allocations in isolation. But if you are married and your spouse works, you are both likely contributing to employee-sponsored plans. And if that is indeed the case, your allocation approaches should be "married" as well. After all, when you retire, you will be living off of both retirement plans as a couple, and following two separate approaches and two separate goals may result in neither goal being met. In addition, some 401(k) plans may offer better investment options than others.
For that reason, married couples should coordinate their approach.
What exactly is a coordinated approach?
The first step is to develop an asset allocation strategy for your combined savings, taking into consideration all the risks you will face, including long-term risks such as purchasing power loss, and the significant risks of being too heavily concentrated in one sector, industry or stock.
Once you have worked out an asset allocation strategy as a couple, you should allocate the investment of your retirement assets by taking full advantage of the choices within the best plan. For most retirement plans, the biggest limitations are the stock investment choices.
Let's look at an example—Lisa and Peter, who were recently married. Both have the same amount in their retirement plans, and both will be making equal contributions in the future.
Lisa's approach to investing her retirement money has been conservative, with only 25% invested in an S&P 500 stock index fund. Peter has been extremely aggressive, investing his entire 401(k) in his company's stock.
After discussing their approaches, they decide a compromise is in order—a greater commitment to stocks than Lisa's original approach, but more diversification than Peter's one-stock commitment. They settle on a 60% stock/40% bond allocation, with not more than 10% of their overall stock commitment invested in the single stock of Peter's employer.
However, looking over their individual retirement plan options, they decide that Lisa's plan clearly offers the better-diversified stock investment choice. For that reason, they realize that the best way for them to meet their overall allocation would be to coordinate the allocations of their individual plans.
Peter is confident in his company's future and wants to retain a portion of his plan in his company stock. However, since his plan's diversified stock fund is not as good as the stock fund in Lisa's plan, the bulk of his plan assets will go to the fixed-income option. His allocation: 25% to his company stock, and 75% to fixed income. Since his plan accounts for half of the couple's retirement plan assets, that means that 12.5% of their combined assets will be invested in his company's stock (half of 25%) and 37.5% of their combined assets will be in fixed income.
Because the couple's entire fixed-income allocation is satisfied within Peter's retirement plan, Lisa's retirement assets will be reallocated so that they are 100% in her plan's diversified stock fund. That means her retirement plan will account for 50% of the couple's stock investment (half of 100%); combined with Peter's 12.5% invested in his company's stock, they have 62.5% invested in stocks. Although their allocation is not exactly 60% stocks and 40% bonds, it is close enough.
Retirement may seem too far off in the distance for young couples to worry about. However, contributions to retirement plans are not distant assets but rather current assets that require current decisions.
Working as a financial team to reach those decisions may or may not lead to a happy marriage, but it will be more financially rewarding.
And that can go a long way toward helping you live happily ever after.
Strategies in terms of Love and Marriage sounds opportunistic but do plan to review
as myths and hopes change over time. This is doubly important when a
second marriage is involved. You won't want to change conditions in the hospital.
It is difficult to even get professional advisors to look at overall portfolio allocations across married couples account houldings. My experience, over 50 years of investing.

If all the heavy issues to be weighed in the Legislature in the coming year — health care, the environment, money woes — get you down, then just know this: At least one bill aims to make it easier to go fishing.
If all the heavy issues to be weighed in the Legislature in the coming year — health care, the environment, money woes — get you down, then just know this: At least one bill aims to make it easier to go fishing.
Senate Bill 583 by Tom Berryhill, R-Modesto, seeks to change California's long-standing practice of issuing fishing licenses by calendar year. That means that a lackadaisical angler who goes out for the first time in September must pay full price for an annual license good only until the end of December.
Berryhill's bill would change that to make a fishing license good for 12 months from the date of purchase.
It is probably one of the smaller, easier to understand, of the more than 2,100 bills members of the legislature introduced before a deadline on Feb. 22.
The delegation representing San Joaquin County and the Mother Lode promises to be in the thick of debating major issues this year. Both Assemblywoman Susan Eggman, D-Stockton, and Berryhill, for example, have introduced bills that would change key aspects of the state's core environmental protection law.
Eggman's bill, for which the language has not yet been fleshed out, would amend the California Environmental Quality Act to require that some amount of "replacement" farmland be permanently protected whenever a development converts farmland to a nonagricultural use.
Berryhill's bill seeks to reform CEQA, ending what he calls "abusive misuse" of the law by making it more difficult or even impossible in some cases to sue over violations.
Sen. Cathleen Galgiani, D-Stockton, continues to advocate construction of high speed rail in California. Her SB525 would facilitate that work by waiving certain environmental review requirements when high speed rail projects are built within existing railway rights of way.
Another high-profile Galgiani bill would change law to allow the temporary removal of inmates from prison when the inmate is assisting in collecting crime evidence.
Galgiani was deeply involved in the past two years in efforts to bring convicted killer Wesley Shermantine out of his death row cell to help find the locations of some of those that Shermantine is convicted of killing during a 15-year killing spree with his friend Loren Herzog.
Another Galgiani bill, SB398, would modify state law so that nonprofit entities created to support state fairs could receive some of the profits from horse track betting. And her SB202 is intended to protect consumers from unscrupulous tire dealers by requiring tire dealers to register as auto repair businesses and meet the same standards.
For sheer volume of major bills, Assemblyman Richard Pan, D-Sacramento, is the champ among the local delegation. The 30 bills he introduced include a number that deal with different issues related to health care and implementing the federal Affordable Care Act.
Pan, a physician, serves a district that includes Lodi and a wide swath of Sacramento County.
In addition to complex bills that propose how health insurance is offered in California starting next year, Pan had some dealing with smaller health issues. One, AB1168, tightens regulation of tattoo parlors, in part by requiring that health information be kept confidential just as it must be by medical offices.
A number of bills this year address veterans in some. Eggman, who is herself a veteran, has a bill (AB372) to restore a veteran's civil service hiring preference that was eliminated in California during the Vietnam War. Assemblywoman Kristin Olsen, R-Modesto, has AB150, which would give veterans and current service members free admission to state parks on Veterans Day and Memorial Day.
Many bills written by delegation members reflect their own career and interests. Olsen, a former California State University, Stanislaus, employee, introduced AB138, which would guarantee entering freshmen at CSU campuses that their tuition would stay the same for the next four years.

Swimming Pool Blog
It's Pool Party Time! But let's be safe ~
by Myles McMorrow, June 15, 2009
Well by now your pool should be up and clean and all your family and friends are calling for you to have them over for pool parties and barbeques, its time to party!!!
Lets stop right there!!! Before we get into the fun times of pool parties did you know most child drownings happen when there are more than 4 adults in the back yard? That's right , everyone thinks someone else is watching the kids!!! If you are going to have a party make sure someone has their full attention in the pool. Adults take 20 min turns at the pool or go to your local pool managing company and hire a life guard for the night (about $20 an hour) .They are cheap compared to the loss of a child. Sorry if I am come across blunt and to the point but this kind of stuff happens 3-4 times a week and it breaks my heart as a father. It is so preventable and supervision is the key to pool safety. I have worked on pools for over 15 years and have had a lot of customers lose children. For pool safety info go to www.poolsafety.gov
Ok now that I have informed you about the dangers let talk about the fun part of pool parties. I will go into a few great party products that can make any pool party a splash hit.
Pool parties, if done right can be hours of fun for adults and children. I have been to many over the years and the one thing people always over look is having plenty of ice. It gets hot poolside in the summer and ice does not last long in the hot sun and a warm drink is not inviting. Plan ahead and stock pile plenty of ice for your party. Nothing quenches thrust like pool side slurpees . Did you know they make battery operated blenders for pool side parties? Click here
How do you plan on inviting people to you party, a call or email? Did you know there are invitations just for pool parties? Click here
What spices up a daytime pool party better then a red,blue , or green pool? That's right they make a non toxic pool water dye that will only last a few days and will not stain the pool surface ( kids love it and red is also great for Halloween and green for St. Patrick's day) . click here
Are you having a party that will go into the night? How about light up floating flowers and floating solar lights (great for poolside weddings) or the retro disco look? Candle lit or everlasting LED floating lights add a special pizazz to any pool party. Click here
How about a nice fountain at the pool without breaking the bank? Light up ones here and daytime ones here
How about something to keep all the kids happy, occupied and having fun? Nothing does that like some cool pool games and toys !!! click here
Don't have kids? How about all the grownups just plain ol' relaxing in the pool in a nice lounger with a floating cooler by your side? Click here
Have a great pool party or two this summer, but remember to watch the kids! And...also watch the overgrown kids. Most diving board accidents occur to men 18-35, with a little extra weight on them, and a few too many beers. Improper use of the diving board has put many young men in wheelchairs for the remainder of their lives!
OK, now start planning the biggest, best pool party of 2009!

• Make a list of damaged or lost items and include their date of purchase, value and receipts, if possible.
Your adjuster will provide you a Proof of Loss form for your official claim for damages. This document substantiates the insurance claim and is required before the National Flood Insurance Program or insurance company can make payment.
You should receive your claim payment after you and the insurer agree on the amount of damages, and the insurer has your complete, accurate and signed Proof of Loss form. In the aftermath of a catastrophic flood such as Sandy, it may take longer to process claims and make payments because of the sheer number of claims submitted, according to FEMA.
Wind damage should be covered on a homeowner's regular insurance policy. On Wednesday, Cuomo announced that homeowners would not have to pay their policies' large hurricane deductibles. The State Department of Financial Services has informed the insurance industry that hurricane deductibles should not apply. Deductibles normally range from 1 to 5 percent of a home's value. On a home valued at $300,000, a 5 percent deductible would have meant that a homeowner would pay the first $15,000 in repair costs.
The governor also noted that homeowners can and should immediately make repairs that are necessary to ensure their families' safety, but otherwise, they should not begin permanent repairs until an insurance adjuster has inspected their homes.
The Department of Financial Services has activated a hotline to answer consumer questions: (800) 339-1759. Hours are Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
Leaking oil burners
Many homeowners reported that their oil burners and tanks leaked oil into their homes when floodwaters raced in, and in the days after Sandy, oil could be seen spilled onto sidewalks in neighborhoods across the South Shore. According to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, oil is considered a potentially hazardous substance, and spills should be reported to the DEC's Oil Spill Hotline at (800) 457-7362, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

ATLANTA (AP) — A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by lawyers for a Georgia death row inmate seeking to halt his execution.
Fifty-nine-year-old Marcus Wellons' execution by injection is set for Tuesday evening.
The lawsuit said the state was violating his civil rights and violating the U.S. Constitution by not disclosing the provider and true nature of the drugs that will be used. A federal judge in Atlanta on Monday rejected those arguments.
Wellons was convicted in 1993 of raping and murdering his 15-year-old neighbor, India Roberts, a high school sophomore in the Atlanta suburbs.
The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles on Monday denied clemency for Wellons. Several relatives spoke on his behalf.

Cosworth builds short blocks and long blocks for racers all around the world. The short blocks start at US$5562 for a stock stroke engine and up to $9269 for an engine with a billet 81mm stroke crank. The long blocks start at $12359 and as much as $16375 depending on configuration. You can see the various configurations of engines here.The ratio of short blocks to long blocks is probably 5 to 1. All Cosworth engines include forged or billet cranks, Cosworth billet rods, Cosworth forged pistons, Cosworth bearings, and new factory engine block castings. The long blocks also include new factory cylinder head castings, Cosworth valvetrain, Cosworth FSL metal head gasket, and Cosworth camshafts. Of course all the engines contain that Cosworth secret sauce which has been developed from building some of the world's best engines for the last 52 years. The engines may sound expensive, but how much did those 2 or 3 engines cost you from other builders? You only need 1 from Cosworth.

Beginning deer hunters have a unique opportunity to participate in four bonus antlerless deer hunts that will take place on private land in Oklahoma this season.
The hunts will be in Osage County (Oct 4-6), Ellis County (Oct 11-12), and two in Love County (Oct 18, orientation on Oct. 17).
This year 53 youth will be drawn to receive one of the bonus private lands antlerless deer gun permits. To be eligible, youth must have completed their hunter education requirements prior to applying and must be 12-17 years old at the time of their scheduled hunt.
"These hunts are on private property and should provide young hunters a great opportunity to see some deer as well as a chance to harvest a doe," said Bill Dinkines, assistant chief of wildlife for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. "The Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission has endorsed the youth hunt program and we are thankful for the landowners' willingness to allow these kids the opportunity to hunt on their property."
To apply for a hunt, applicants must submit (mail or walk-in only) a 3×5 index card with the following information:
- Hunter's first & last name
- Date of birth
- Mailing address
- Telephone number
- Hunter education certification number
- Social security or driver's license number
- Lifetime License number, if applicable
- Accompanying Adult* first & last name
- List of hunts by order of preference**
*Each child participating in this hunt must have an adult (licensed or unlicensed) who is at least 21 years of age accompanying them on the hunt.
**List of the hunts by order of preference (Please do not list any hunt that you are not interested in or know in advance you cannot attend.)
The envelope should be addressed to: OK DEPT OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION, Attn: Wildlife Division: "Private Lands Youth Deer Hunts," PO BOX 53465, Oklahoma City, OK 73152. All applications must be received by Friday, August 16, 2013.
Antlerless deer taken by selected applicants during these hunts will be considered a "bonus deer" and will not count toward the hunter's season statewide limit.
Applicants who are successfully drawn will receive a notification letter in the mail that includes specific information about their hunt and the deadline for purchasing required license(s) as listed below:
Resident Options (Ages 12-15):
Lifetime Hunting or Lifetime Combination License; or
$10 CH Private Lands Youth Deer License**
Resident Options (Age 16-17):
Lifetime Hunting or Lifetime Combination License; or
Resident Annual Youth Hunting + $10 CH Private Lands Youth Deer License**; or
Resident Fiscal Year Youth Hunting + $10 CH Private Lands Youth Deer License**
Non-Resident Options (Ages 12-17):
CH Nonresident Private Lands Youth Deer License**
**NOTE: The $10 resident or the $201 non-resident CH Private Lands Youth Deer Hunt Permits will be issued in lieu of the open season license and must be purchased through our Central Office. No Apprentice Licenses will be allowed due to the Hunter Education requirement.
For additional information, please contact Doug Schoeling at (405) 590-2584.

|The tree interface used by TreeView
The TreeModel interface defines a generic storage object for use by the TreeView widget. It is purely abstract, concrete implementations that store data for a list or tree are ListStore and TreeStore.
The model is represented as a hierarchical tree of strongly-typed, columned data. In other words, the model can be seen as a tree where every node has different values depending on which column is being queried. The type of data found in a column can be arbitrary, ranging from basic types like Strings or Int to user specific types. The types are homogeneous per column across all nodes. It is important to note that this interface only provides a way of examining a model and observing changes. The implementation of each individual model decides how and if changes are made.
Two generic models are provided that implement the TreeModel interface: the TreeStore and the ListStore. To use these, the developer simply pushes data into these models as necessary. These models provide the data structure as well as the TreeModel interface. In fact, they implement other interfaces making drag and drop, sorting, and storing data trivial.
Models are accessed on a node/column level of granularity. One can query for the value of a model at a certain node and a certain column on that node. There are two structures used to reference a particular node in a model. They are the TreePath and the TreeIter Most of the interface consists of operations on a TreeIter.
A path is essentially a potential node. It is a location on a model that may or may not actually correspond to a node on a specific model. A TreePath is in fact just a list of Ints and hence are easy to manipulate. Each number refers to the offset at that level. Thus, the path [0] refers to the root node and the path [2,4] refers to the fifth child of the third node.
By contrast, a TreeIter is a reference to a specific node on a specific model. It is an abstract data type filled in by the model. One can convert a path to an iterator by calling treeModelGetIter. These iterators are the primary way of accessing a model and are similar to the iterators used by TextBuffer. The model interface defines a set of operations using them for navigating the model.
The lifecycle of an iterator can be a little confusing at first. Iterators are expected to always be valid for as long as the model is unchanged (and doesn't emit a signal). Additionally, the TreeStore and ListStore models guarantee that an iterator is valid for as long as the node it refers to is valid. Although generally uninteresting, as one always has to allow for the case where iterators do not persist beyond a signal, some very important performance enhancements were made in the sort model. As a result, the TreeModelItersPersist flag was added to indicate this behavior.
|Class Hierarchy
| GInterface | +----TreeModel
|data TreeModel
|class GObjectClass o => TreeModelClass o
|castToTreeModel :: GObjectClass obj => obj -> TreeModel
|toTreeModel :: TreeModelClass o => o -> TreeModel

In case the given TreeIter was invalid, an empty list is returned.

Folk artist and NH native Tom Rush lets his own songwriting do the talking on upcoming album, tourBy CHRIS BIERI
Special to the Union Leader November 29. 2017 12:41PM
In early days, Tom Rush, an American folk music artist and New Hampshire native, introduced the world to the songwriting of iconic storytelling musicians such as James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne. But for Rush's forthcoming "Voices" release, Rush has taken over songwriting duties, penning 10 of 12 tracks.
If you go...WHO: Tom Rush
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Friday
WHERE: Flying Monkey Movie House and Performance Center, 30 So. Main St., Plymouth
TICKETS: $29 to $39
INFO: 536-1551; flyingmonkeynh.com
With a historic 55 years in the music business already under his belt, it stands to reason that Tom Rush would be well past the point of celebrating any career firsts.
But with the upcoming release of "Voices," the Portsmouth native will have done just that.
After spending much of his career recording and performing material from other writers, Rush is releasing an album flush with his own compositions.
"I've probably done more writing in the past two years than I've done in the past 20 (prior to that)," Rush said. "I'm really happy with this project. I don't like listening to myself, and I've really enjoyed listening to this."
Rush's career has included more than 25 releases, but he said "Voices" is truly his first self-penned album, with 10 originals of the 12 songs.
"I can't speak to the inspiration; the songs are all over the map," he said. "There is some contemplative stuff, some rock 'n' roll stuff. (The songs) just arrive and I just have to pay attention and let them arrive."
Rush got his start during the folk music revival of the early 1960s, playing around Boston and Cambridge while a student at Harvard. But he's better known for his impact on the singer-songwriter era of the 1970s.
Rush's versions of songs by Jackson Browne and James Taylor on his 1970 self-titled album helped launch their careers as mainstream artists.
To record "Voices," Rush returned to Nashville to work with longtime friend Jim Rooney, who produced Rush's 2009 album "What I Know," which marked a return to the studio after a decades-long respite.
"We recorded with his session players, 'Rooney's Irregulars,'" Rush said. "They are some of the best players on the planet. They've got this Nashville telepathy. Everyone knows what everyone is going to play before they do it."
In producing the album, Rush embraced a tactic favored by a number of new and independent artists — crowdfunding. Using PledgeMusic, Rush raised 142 percent of his fundraising goal, allowing for both a vinyl and CD release.
"The folks have been very supportive," he said. "I'm blessed in that I have long-term fans that have been very supportive of my work and want to hear my music."
He expects the CD to be released late this year with the vinyl-pressing forcing that release into early 2018. He is also planning an accompanying booklet for download to allow for a larger format print.
Rush said the role of the songwriter hasn't changed over the past 50 years, but perhaps the music's mood changes to reflect the country's collective disposition.
"I think it's interesting," he said. "I think the music is starting to get more combative. Not this project — I've never been a protest singer — but I think it's refreshing and overdue."
Rush said it's a treat to be able to play in his home state — and so close to his current home — Rush presently lives just over of the border in Maine.
"The travel is more and more onerous as I get older," he said. "It's either a flight a day or a 4- to 5-hour drive plus sound check. It's a lot like work. The time I get to spend on stage, I really do love that part of it."

E3 2005: Saitek P2600 Rumble Controller
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories,
Saitek was also showing off a couple of other controllers at their booth during E3. This one is dedicated to having a more responsive rumble. Basically, the P2600 uses the latest technology to deliver strong, varied responses depending on what is going on in the game to provide for maximum realism. That is, if you consider your controller rumbling to be realistic. It also has backlit button, a First Person Shooter button to transform the controllers capabilities, four shoulder buttons, and soft handles. No hands on impressions though - these babies were behind glass.
U.S. House of Representatives Vote Against Spyware
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Internet, Software,
We all hate it. We know how damaging it can be. Spyware causes the average computer user to despise getting on the internet. In some cases, it gets as severe as being the cause of identity theft. The House is trying to eliminate these malicious programs and the people that distribute them. Violators of the House's new bill are looking at 2 years minimum for breaking these laws and more if identity theft is involved.

Making Money As An Affiliate
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Marketing,
On the Internet, you have the opportunity to make money by selling your own products and/or services, but that does require you to develop concepts and hang on to inventory. Luckily, there are other avenues available on the Internet in which you can make money if you are willing to put effort into it. One such way is to promote products as an affiliate.
An affiliate is basically a website or person who acts as a salesman for a larger website providing goods or services. Basically, the site will provide you with banner ads, links, and other materials for you to use to generate sales or leads for their product. Each time someone purchases, views, or clicks through to the web site of the advertiser, the affiliate (you) gets a commission. One of the most popular affiliate programs on the Internet happens to come from Amazon. You can sign up as an Amazon Associate, and gain access to images and a link generator which allows you to sell Amazon products directly on your website. If someone purchases an item on Amazon by using your link or image, you will receive a cut. Here is a brief rundown:
- Associates drive Internet traffic to Amazon.com through specially formatted links that allow Amazon to track sales and other activity.
- Associates earn up to 10% in referral fees on all qualifying revenue made through their links.
- Amazon sends quarterly payment to Associates.
Another great affiliate program is the one run by the iTunes Music Store. The iTunes Affiliate Program. It pays 5% of all revenue generated from your links. These are just two examples of ways you can make money using the lure of products from other, more well known resources. If you have had success with affiliate programs, let us know about it in the comments.

E3 Interview: Mark Rosewater - Head Designer of Magic: The Gathering
Posted by Charles Leake Categories: Features, Internet,
Most of our readers may not have heard of Mark Rosewater or Randy Buehler, who are the designers of Magic. These men are two of the greatest game designers on this earth. Their work is enjoyed by millions of gamers across the globe and their design has kept one of the most successful and longest running games going strong today. Join as they both give us a rare chance to see the secrets to the successful design of Magic: The Gathering, including video games, here today with Mark Rosewater, Wednesday with Randy Buehler and Friday with Magic Pro Player Sam Gomersa:
In a short explanation what is Magic the Gathering?
Magic the Gathering is a collectible card game. The best analogy is it's like playing Monopoly without all the pieces.
And what is Magic the Gathering Online?
A transliteration of the game. The idea for it came about from the main reason players quit, they did not have enough people to play with and had a hard time finding a game. Magic Online solved this problem, players can now find a game 24 hours, 7 days a week.

The Scooba: Roomba's Mopping Sibling
Posted by Jesse Easley Categories: Misc. Tech,
Everyone we know has been thoroughly impressed with the way that iRobot's Roomba vacuum cleaners work. Now, the company forays even deeper into robotic home cleaning with their new mop. The Scooba functions in a similar fashion as the Roomba, with a few key differences. The way it works is the Scooba will vacuum up the floor, spray foam scrub onto the tile or other surface, scrub it up, then dry the floor. There is no price set yet and it's looking like it might only be a limited time deal around the holidays.

iTunes 4.9 To Support Podcasts
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Podcasts, Software,
Earlier at the D: All Things Digital Conference, Steve Jobs made it known that the next version of iTunes will include built-in support for podcasts. To make that a bit clearer - iTunes 4.9 will have an option that will allow you to plug in the RSS feed URL of your favorite podcasts, which it will then use to fetch them out and download them directly to your library. No need for any third party software to do this for you any longer. What's more, iTunes will provide a directory of podcasts in which producers can submit their work. Finally, Steve is even considering developing a model where content producers could sell their podcasts through iTunes. This is similar to what Google wants to do with video, but on the audio front. We can expect to see this new version of iTunes within the next 60 days.

Michael Jackson Sells Neverland Ranch?
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Misc. Tech,
In an interesting turn of events, it looks like Michael Jackson may have sold his Neverland Ranch to a silent buyer for about $35 million. I remember as a child wshing I could visit the Ranch - after all, it had its own zoo, amusement park, trolley, etc. Looking back, I think it's safe to say that it is good that I was never able to make the trip. This is one example of technology gone bad.
