Nats cut Braves' wild-card lead to one
The top four hitters in the Braves' lineup, including Chipper Jones and Dan Uggla, went a combined 0 for 16 with five strikeouts Sunday in a 3-0 loss to the Washington Nationals that cut Atlanta's NL wild-card lead over St. Louis to one game.
"This was a very brutal loss for us," Braves rookie first baseman Freddie Freeman said.
Atlanta has dropped 10 of its past 15 games, allowing St. Louis to close in. The Braves finish the regular season with a three-game home series starting Monday against the NL East champion Philadelphia Phillies.
Wilson Ramos homered off Braves starter Mike Minor (5-3) in the fourth, and Michael Morse hit the 29th of his breakout season – a two-run shot – off reliever Cristhian Martinez in the seventh.
Ross Detwiler (4-5) went six innings for Washington before a crowd of 37,638 in the final game of 2011 at Nationals Park. He allowed four hits and two walks while striking out four. Over his last two starts of the season, the lefty pitched 13 1-3 scoreless innings, with seven hits, seven strikeouts and three walks.
The last 15 Braves batters made outs, including seven strikeouts.
With nothing more at stake than a third-place finish, the Nationals have played well down the stretch, winning 12 of 15 games. That includes taking two of three from the struggling Braves.
"We know what's at stake. We know what every game means," Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said before the game. "You've got to go out and play the game with some fun. We can't play with white knuckles on the bat and hold the ball so hard you can't throw it."
There were some key moments Sunday when his hitters did fail to produce in the clutch.
In the third, the Braves loaded the bases with no outs, thanks to David Ross' single and some serious wildness by Detwiler, who walked No. 8 hitter Jack Wilson and then the opposing pitcher.
All told, Detwiler threw eight consecutive pitches that were called balls, going to a 3-0 count on leadoff hitter Michael Bourn – with nowhere to put him.
After finally putting one pitch over the plate for a called strike – and drawing sarcastic cheers from the crowd at Nationals Park – Detwiler got Bourn to fly out to left in foul territory. Bearing down some more, Detwiler got out of the inning unscathed: Martin Prado hit a fly to right that wasn't deep enough for Ross to try to tag up and head for home, before Jones grounded out.
The bottom of the order gave the Braves another opportunity to score two innings later, but again they came away with nothing to show for it.
Ross led off with an infield single, Wilson singled to center, and Minor moved them up with a sacrifice bunt – putting runners at second and third with one out. But Bourn lined out to second and Prado flied out.
"You need to get those runs in," Uggla said, "or more than likely it's going to come back to haunt you."
In each of his other four innings, Detwiler faced the minimum three hitters.
Henry Rodriguez replaced Detwiler in the seventh and was rather impressive, regularly reaching 100 or 101 mph and striking out all three batters he faced. He got pinch hitter Jason Heyward swinging at a 100 mph fastball, Ross on a two-strike foul bunt on a 101 mph offering, and Wilson looking at an 88 mph slider with a ton of movement.
Tyler Clippard pitched the eighth, and closer Drew Storen got the last three outs for his 42nd save in 47 chances.
Minor hadn't lost in his preceding 11 starts; his last loss came May 31 against San Diego. He threw 4 2-3 innings, giving up six hits and one run.
NOTES: Braves RHP Kris Medlen came on in relief in the eighth inning, his first appearance since Aug. 4, 2010. Medlen had reconstructive elbow surgery later that month and came off the disabled list Saturday. … Braves INF Alex Gonzalez was out of the starting lineup with a strained right calf muscle for the fourth consecutive game. He said he might be able to play Monday against Philadelphia. … The Braves will send RHP Randall Delgado (1-1) to the mound in the first game of their season-ending series against the Phillies, who will start LHP Cliff Lee (16-8). … In Wednesday's season finale, the Braves could start RHP Tommy Hanson (on the DL since Aug. 7 with right shoulder tendinitis) if they've already clinched a playoff berth, Fredi Gonzalez said. Otherwise, RHP Tim Hudson will start on regular rest. … Atlanta RHP Jair Jurrjens threw three innings in the Instructional League Saturday, and Gonzalez said he could be activated from the DL for the first round of the playoffs. Jurrjens (strained right knee) has been out since Aug. … Atlanta LHP George Sherrill (left elbow) could be activated this week. … Nationals RHP Stephen Strasburg will be on an innings limit next season, GM Mike Rizzo said. … Washington wraps up the season with a three-game series at the Florida Marlins. LHP Tommy Milone – the Nationals are 4-0 in the rookie's four major league starts – will pitch Monday against Florida's Anibal Sanchez.

The way Suddenlink's business and operations worked to complement each other so fruitfully is why this year's CED Person of the Year is actually two people.
For Cequel Communications Holdings, doing business as Suddenlink, 2012 was the occasion of a remarkably simultaneous culmination of several multi-year efforts. These efforts included both engineering and business aspects, which ultimately amplified each other.
At the end of September, the company wrapped a three-year, $350 million capital investment program called Project Imagine. The improvements put in place during Project Imagine were large factors in helping the company make significant leaps in performance.
Those performance improvements were themselves a factor in pulling off a $6.6 billion sale of the company to an investor group that includes some of senior management. That deal, valuing the company at about $6.6 billion, was announced in July, and it closed in November.
The way business and operations worked to complement each other so fruitfully is why this year's CED Person of the Year is actually two people: Suddenlink Chairman and CEO Jerald (Jerry) Kent and senior vice president and chief technology officer Terry Cordova.
Together, these two men led the modernization of an agglomeration of cable systems, many of them once neglected, into a far more efficient, largely unified network.
For the fast-moving cable industry, 10 years ago qualifies as ancient history, but Suddenlink's recent success is more strongly presaged by the past than most other companies are.
Almost exactly 30 years ago, Kent, a certified public accountant, joined Cencom Cable Associates with responsibility for finance and, notably, acquisitions. By 1991, Kent had risen to CFO and had helped build Cencom to 550,000 customers. That year, Cencom was sold to Crown Media.
That was Kent's first taste of what would become a pattern of expanding cable companies through growth, and then ushering them through some form of sale.
In the sale of Cencom, Kent went with the company to Crown. Two years later, in 1993, he left to co-found Charter Communications. Charter bought from Crown the operations Kent had been involved in selling just two years before.
By 1998, the year Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen bought the company, Kent had approximately doubled Charter's size, to 1.3 million customers. Kent continued as president and CEO, subsequently tripling the company's customer count, bringing the total to 7 million, making it the nation's fourth-largest cable company at the time. The sale this time took the form of an initial public offering (IPO); in 1999, Charter went public.
Along the way, Kent became acquainted with the man he would later help hire as Suddenlink's CTO. Kent left the company in 2001.
In 2003, Classic Communications, then the 12th-largest MSO, emerged from bankruptcy. Kent and his partners assumed management of Classic's assets, which became the core of the company that three years later would be renamed Suddenlink. Also that year, they hired Cordova, the former division vice president of engineering for Charter Communications' Southeast Division, to lead technology operations at the new company.
Through the intervening years, the company – largely via acquisition – quadrupled in size, from about 325,000 subscribers to 1.4 million, spread across 18 states, but with concentrations in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas and West Virginia.
The pattern held with another sale, this time to European and Canadian venture partners. The twist this time was that Kent not only participated in the selling, but he and other managers also were among the buyers in the $6.6 billion transaction.
One of the things that made Suddenlink attractive for the new investors was the pattern of continuous investment in operations that yielded direct results in improved performance in a range of performance metrics (see accompanying chart).
The upgrades kicked into overdrive in 2009. Flush with the proceeds from a $600 million debt offering, Kent, Cordova and other Suddenlink managers devised Project Imagine, which would add another $350 million to the company's regular budget for capital expenditures.
Project Imagine was billed as a bandwidth reclamation effort designed to support new product and service deployment. The company upgraded most of its footprint to DOCSIS 3.0 (DOCSIS 3.0-based broadband is available to 93 percent of its subscribers) and converted many of its systems to all-digital.
The improvements have enabled the company to greatly expand its HD channel lineup, from a typical 24-channel lineup to an average of more than 85 channels after Project Imagine was completed. The company also expanded its VOD library (VOD is now available to 91 percent of its subscribers). The company experienced vastly improved adoption rates of both HD and VOD services.
DOCSIS upgrades have been a common benefit for all cable operators, but Suddenlink has been particularly focused on the technology. The company secured bragging rights by introducing a broadband tier that set a speed mark at 107 Mbps. The company has also leveraged its DOCSIS network to introduce home security services.
But more than that, the company has been particularly successful at compensating for the same losses in low-margin basic subscribers that have been experienced by almost all of its peers by gradually, but inexorably, shifting its product mix to higher-margin broadband and telephony. All the while, the company's average revenue per user (ARPU) has been growing at a fairly steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 10 percent.
The company has been aggressively leveraging its relationship with TiVo to innovate with TiVo-based services. Late last year, Suddenlink was the first company to provide TiVo Stream, first in Lubbock, Texas, and then in other systems. The company also said it would offer the TiVo Mini, which will enable it to provide a relatively inexpensive and easy-to-use whole-home solution. That complements the company's home Wi-Fi service.
The company has been installing fiber-optic networks to connect its systems in Arkansas, Mississippi and elsewhere to the company's national backbone. It has also been investing in improving customer service, with the payoff evident in considerably improved ratings in the J.D. Power customer satisfaction polls, going from a decided laggard to industry average.
All the while, both Kent and Cordova have been active advocates for the industry at large.
Cordova is a long-standing member of the SCTE, a three-term board member, and now serves as vice chairman of the board of directors.
In 2011, Cordova was named a member of the Cable TV Pioneers, was inducted into the SCTE Hall of Fame and served as chairman of SCTE's Cable-Tec Expo. The SCTE credited Cordova with helping to sharpen the focus of Expo's technical program.
SCTE President Mark Dzuban said: "Terry's technical accomplishments with Suddenlink speak for themselves, but it's the way he achieves success that makes him stand out. In all of his dealings – with members of his Suddenlink team, with the rest of the SCTE board or simply with other cable professionals – Terry has a high degree of integrity, a tremendous respect for other people and a real ability to build teams that share those values. He's truly a role model that anyone within or outside of our industry would do well to emulate."
Kent, meanwhile, serves on the boards of directors and executive committees for CableLabs and the NCTA. He is chairman of The Cable Center board of directors, and he also serves on the board for C-SPAN and the advisory board for Cable in the Classroom. Last month, he was inducted into the Cable Hall of Fame.
When you're talking about Cable Hall of Famers, there's always the issue of legacy. The problem, as such, with discussing Kent and Cordova's legacy at this point is that the two are far from done at Suddenlink. The company has vowed to continue implementing further improvements. These two guys could, potentially, be People of the Year again sometime soon.

A few days ago Bill Kristol posted a reader email on the Weekly Standard blog (the first blog you should read after Power Line) about how Republicans are neglecting the lessons of Xenophon, which we linked to in our "Picks" section here. By coincidence, I begin a close reading of Xenophon's Education of Cyrus with my Pepperdine University graduate class on political leadership this morning.
The Cyropaedia, like the rest of Xenophon's corpus, has tended to be neglected, but has been making a comeback in recent decades. It has been justly compared to Machiavelli's Prince for its ambition and depth of insight about the nature and difficulties of ruling. The opening poses a great and basic question about political life for students to ponder: Why are human beings hard to govern? Xenophon notes that sheep, pigs, and cattle are easy to govern, and never revolt against their rulers, whereas human beings are more or less in a constant state of revolt against their rulers. Just when you think Xenophon is going to give up at the lesson that political instability is the unsolvable problem of human life (and this shortening the Cyropaedia to an op-ed), he takes a turn that launches the rest of the book:
Now when we have considered these things, we are inclined to this judgment about them; It is easier, given his nature, for a human being to rule all other kinds of animals than to rule human beings But when we reflected that there was Cyrus, a Persian, who acquired very many people, very many cities, and very many nations, all obedient to himself, we were thus compelled to change our mind to the view that ruling human beings does not belong to those tasks which are impossible, or even among those that are difficult, if one does it with knowledge.

Should the US embassy in Israel move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem?
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - Moving Israel's U.S. embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv was a campaign promise made by President Donald Trump. On Capitol Hill Wednesday, lawmakers heard testimony from those trying to make that happen.
The embassy is the only U.S. embassy not in a country's declared capital city. Those against moving the embassy into Jerusalem say it could lead to violence and would likely be a major barrier to moving forward on the peace progress between Israel and Palestine, and would anger U.S. allies like Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
Supporters, including those who testified at Wednesday's hearing, say it simply shows America stands by Israel.
"A lot of people say that there's a problem moving the embassy to Jerusalem because it's going to cause riots in the street, Arab world's not going to like it," said Eugene Kontorovich of the Kohelet Policy Forum. "What that essentially does is hold our national foreign policy hostage to threats."
President Trump has until Dec. 1 to decide whether to exercise a waiver that would delay relocating the embassy, something every U.S. president has done since 1995.

For more than 180 years, railroads have been a part of our lives. The railroad has been equal parts responsible for the growth of nations as well as the gist for myth, legend and song.
Railroads are also a wonderful area for collecting, offering many specialties. We will concentrate on full-size operations for the scope of this article. One can approach vintage railroad collectibles on many levels, but the first decisions need to be about the scope – collect things from one railroad, or collect things of one type from many railroads.
The first scope would be to select "your" railroad to collect. It could be the line that served the area where you grew up, the line that serves or served the area where you now live or a railroad on which a parent or grandparent worked. For me, that choice was the Pennsylvania Railroad, as my grandparents and several other relatives worked at Sunnyside Yards in Queens, N.Y., or in New York-Washington passenger service as train crew members.
With the railroad line selected, one then has to choose what to collect. Common items such as public timetables, tickets and employee passes can be had with a limited budget.
A bit more money allows expanding a collection to include employee timetables and publications, annual reports, stationery, stocks and bonds, lanterns, switch locks, keys, uniforms, buttons and badges, blueprints and calendars or dining car service items. At an even higher price range, station signs, locomotive bells, whistles and builder's plates can be had.
If your collecting preference leans to items, then nice collections can be made from acquiring a number of similar items. Dining car items such as silver service knives, forks, spoons or coffee pots, or china dinner or dessert plates, cups and saucers (which come in many patterns) can make an extensive collection and consume many hours in researching and hunting for items.
Many of these specialties have good reference books and a collector should always do the research before spending hard-earned money on a collection by buying a reference and learning the field; a few hours spent in research is well worth the money saved by avoiding reproductions (and the disappointment of being fooled).
Photographs – either contemporary publicity photos or those taken by rail fans – always make a nice addition to a collection if they show the collected items when they were in revenue use.
Best of all, enjoy your collection in your hobby room, as railroad items make nice display items, and often lead to good stories. Visit a museum, where one can appreciate the full-size equipment many of us do not have the room for, and the display items preserved by the collectors of the past.
George Cuhaj has been active in the scouting program for more than 35 years, collecting items since 1976 when he earned the Eagle Scout award. He was awarded the Silver Beaver award in 1993 and named a James E. West Fellow in 1998. He has written about Boy Scout of America collectibles.

North American Racing Academy Reaches 2,000 Win Milestone
LEXINGTON, Ky. (June 29, 2013) Jockeys who have attended the North American Racing Academy at Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) were on fire Friday, June 28th winning a total of eight races at three different race tracks, capped by a five win night for apprentice jockey Dylan Davis at Indiana Downs. Davis second win on the card was the 2,000th winner ridden by a NARA-trained jockey since the academy was launched in 2006. The 2,000 win milestone was reached when Davis, who began his riding career in 2012, booted home Luzianna Man for trainer Charlie LoPresti in the sixth race, a one mile amp; 70 yard turf event for allowance level horses.
Winning runs in the Davis family. Davis father Robbie Davis was a top jockey during the 1980s in both New York and California winning over 3,400 races. His sister Jacqueline a NARA graduate herself is currently fourth in the jockey standings at Suffolk Downs Racetrack in East Boston, MA where she has been the second-leading rider the past three years.
Since its launch in 2006 NARA has seen 51 out of 82 students receive their licenses and join the equine industry workforce after preparing for careers tailored to the care, training and riding of racehorses. Twenty are currently active as professional jockeys competing at tracks across North America.
Hall of Fame jockey Chris McCarron, who has been with BCTC-NARA since the beginning, had this to say about the 2000th win: Words cannot express how incredibly proud I am of all of our graduates who have gone on to become jockeys, exercise riders, grooms, foremen, farm managers and broodmare managers. They have demonstrated the commitment and passion it takes to work with these magnificent thoroughbreds. This is just the beginning of more wonderful things to come in the years ahead. We are in the process of establishing student exchange programs with other schools like NARA around the world. I believe NARA/BCTC is providing a much-needed resource providing experienced and qualified labor for the thoroughbred industry. Onward and upward we goadded BCTC President Augusta Julian: "We couldnt be prouder of these young men and women who are contributing so much to the racing and breeding industries. My congratulations go to Dylan Davis but also to the many graduates since 2006 who got us to this important milestone.
Originally launched by the Kentucky Community and Technical College System NARA is now housed at BCTC and remains the most successful accredited career and training program offering one year certificates and two year associates degrees in support of the horse racing and breeding industries.

Vitamin E is one of the most common ingredients in many of ZENMED skin care products. It is well known for being a great antioxidant and now is used to help the skin look its best. If you want to use an ingredient to allow your skin to look its best, you will want to consider using Vitamin E.
So, if you want to use a great ingredient which can really be a huge help to your skin, you will want to try Vitamin E as it is a great antioxidant and is considered to be one of the best available these days. It is a lipid-soluble vitamin and this basically means that is more prone to fat than water. It also is available in eight different forms which makes it even more of a good choice
Some scientific facts of Vitamin are that since it is such a great antioxidant it can be applied directly to the skin and this works really good. Particularly alpha tocopherol and the tocotrienols. More studies have indicated the acetate form (tocopherol acetate) is also bioavailable and protective for skin (Source: Journal of Cosmetic Science, January–February 2001, pages 35–50), and still other research points to tocopherol sorbate as providing significant antioxidant protection against ultraviolet radiation–induced oxidative damage (Source: Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 1995, pages 484–488).
There have been some great studies that show even more evidence that vitamin E for skin is a great way to have beautiful skin and it is in an article in the Journal of Molecular Medicine (January 1995, pages 7–17), which states: "More than other tissues, the skin is exposed to numerous environmental chemical and physical agents such as ultraviolet light causing oxidative stress [free-radical damage]. In the skin this results in several short- and long-term adverse effects such as erythema [redness], edema [swelling], skin thickening, wrinkling, and an increased incidence of skin cancer…. Vitamin E is the major naturally occurring lipid-soluble … antioxidant protecting skin from the adverse effects of oxidative stress including photoaging [sun damage]. Many studies document that vitamin E occupies a central position as a highly efficient antioxidant, thereby providing possibilities to decrease the frequency and severity of pathological events in the skin."
So, you will want to be certain you try many of ZENMED products to help your skin looking its best. You may be surprised how good your skin can look with the use of ZENMED and Vitamin E.

DENVER Democrats struck down a Republican proposal to arm teachers with concealed guns Monday.
It was the first Republican attempt to respond to mass shootings in Aurora and an elementary school in Connecticut, and the first of many rounds of fights over gun control this year.
Mondays debate points to a culture clash at the Capitol that will make it difficult to achieve consensus as the Legislature tackles gun control for the first time since the 1999 Columbine High School massacre.
One side says the country has too many guns, while the other side says there are not enough.
Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, said gun-free zones at schools dont work, and teachers should be armed if they want to be.
Gun-free zones only work for those that are law-abiding citizens, Harvey said. The criminals, the bad guys, they dont care. But they do know that the good guys dont have guns.
Harvey has school-age kids, and his wife is a teacher.
My wife and my kids are sitting ducks, he said.
Harveys Senate Bill 9 would have let school boards allow teachers to carry concealed weapons. It failed on a 3-2 vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Most of the two dozen witnesses testified in favor of arming teachers, but several opponents said guns dont increase safety.
Jean Grattet of the League of Women Voters said the United States has almost nine guns for every 10 people.
This bill is based on the premise that more guns make us safe, Grattet said. You would think we would be the safest nation in the world, but we arent.
That irked Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud.
What do you want them to do, run and hide? Honestly, is this really the logic were going to apply? Lundberg said. Are you really meaning to say that citizens should not be trusted with weapons for defense, and we should be left with ballpoint pens and running and hiding?
The hearing became testy when Sen. Scott Renfroe, R-Greeley, challenged a critic of his bill, Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City.
I dont know that youve even held a gun, senator, have you? Renfroe said.
Ulibarri said he grew up with guns.
Our guns were under lock and key in my dads room. I understand the power you wield and, if its done badly, the consequences, he said.
Meanwhile, Democrats sent conflicting signals Monday about when they will unveil their gun-control package.
Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, said Sunday she was days away from introducing bills to ban high-capacity magazines and require background checks for private-party gun sales. Her district includes the Aurora theater where a gunman killed 12 people and injured around 70 last July.
But Senate President John Morse, a former police chief from El Paso County, said he wants to delay introduction of his partys gun bills for a few weeks.
Morse said Monday hes looking for a comprehensive package on gun violence and not piecemeal reforms.
Obviously, the person with the most knowledge and experience and expertise in this area is me, and so Im trying to figure out what can we do that would actually have an impact. How do we piece all of that together? And Im just not there yet, Morse said.
But Morse said hes committed to finding a solution this year.
Theres not a magical solution. This is really hard, he said.

NH delegates made last-minute pitches to avoid student loan rate hikeBy SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News
July 06. 2013 7:32PM
Members of New Hampshire's congressional delegation lobbied hard for Congress to deal with student loan rates before they all went home for the July 4th recess, to no avail.
Each of the four lawmakers has sponsored separate legislation addressing the issue, but Congress could not reach agreement in time to keep interest rates on direct subsidized loans from doubling as of July 1.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., took to the Senate floor on June 27 to urge her colleagues to prevent the rate increase. She cited the case of a young Manchester woman enrolled in graduate school who has already accumulated $100,000 in college debt.
Shaheen said making college affordable is critical to growing the economy. "It's essential to creating jobs, it's essential to protecting the middle class, and it's essential to providing those future opportunities for our young people," she said.
That same day, Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., co-sponsored the Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act, which would tie interest rates on all federal student loans to the 10-year Treasury note.
"Students and families need certainty to plan for how they will finance higher education," Ayotte said in a statement urging immediate action on the measure. "This bipartisan legislation is fair to students, parents and taxpayers."
Rep. Ann McLane Kuster, D-N.H., sent a letter on June 25 to House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor, urging them to keep the House of Representatives in Washington until Congress acted on the student loan issue.
Noting New Hampshire graduates have the highest college debt burden in the country, she said that burden is "holding back growth throughout our economy as graduates defer investments in home ownership, job training and post-graduate education."
Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, D-N.H., made the same plea in a one-minute speech on the House floor on June 27. "Families across our country and in my state of New Hampshire are depending on Congress to fix this problem," she said.
Despite those efforts, Congress went on vacation without addressing the issue.
Here's what New Hampshire members have sponsored:
. Shaheen, S. 1238 - Keep Student Loans Affordable Act of 2013.
Would extend lower (3.4 percent) interest rate for undergraduate federal direct Stafford loans for one year.
. Ayotte, S. 1241 - Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act.
Would set interest rates for new loans on or after July 1 based on 10-year Treasury bills.
. Shea-Porter, H.R. 1433 - To Amend the Higher Education Act of 1965...; and H.R. 1595 - Student Loan Relief Act of 2013.
Both measures would extend the lower interest rate for federal direct Stafford loans until 2015.
. Kuster, H.R. 1595, Student Loan Relief Act of 2013 (see above).

What is a Personal Protection Order (PPO)?
A Personal Protection Order ("PPO") is a Circuit Court injunctive order that protects victims of Family Violence, Dating Violence or Stalking. A PPO is filed by a Petitioner against a Respondent to stop or restrain the Respondent from:
SAFETY PLANS: If you need a PPO -- especially due to troubles in a domestic relationship -- you should also develop a personalized safety plan. This plan helps you assess many areas of your life to identify additional ways to enhance your safety at home, at work, etc. It also helps you prepare in advance for the "What if....?"s that happen when violence strikes. Review some safety plan suggestions on our Downloads page (Crime Victims > Safety).
Are there different kinds of PPOs?
Yes. There are 2 kinds of PPOs:
How is a PPO different from a "no-contact" bond condition?
A restraining order (including a PPO) is a civil action between citizens.
A "no-contact" bond condition can be imposed on a defendant during a pending criminal prosecution. It means that a defendant can not personally --- or have a third-party --- contact, call, write, etc. the victim or any other party with whom the judge orders the defendant to have "no contact". This is a common bond condition for defendants charged with violent or assaultive crimes, and protects victims if the defendant is released from jail while the charge is pending. Like all other bond conditions (e.g., appearing at future court proceedings, not violating criminal laws, not leaving the state, etc.), any violation could cause the judge to raise or revoke the bond, in which case the defendant could remain in jail until the case is finished. A judge has the discretion to issue (or not issue) any bond condition, as he sees fit. A "no-contact condition" stays in effect for the entire duration of the criminal case, or until the victim requests that it be removed or "lifted" (with the judge's approval). A "no-contact" provision can also be imposed at the sentencing as part of the conditions of probation.
What if I don't qualify for a PPO?
If you do not meet the requirements to get a PPO, you may be able to get a "peace bond" which is available at the District Court Clerk's Office. Peace bonds are often used for neighbor and non-violent family disputes that do not support the issuance of a PPO.

February 2012
February 24, 2012: Last week we were heavy on tech. This week it's new vehicles. We start with Al's review of the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. It's had its own Lifestyle Lift, and some heart surgery. Is it a new vehicle or an old warhorse with a bad nip and tuck? Next, Al and Chris review the new Toyota Prius c. This is the smallest Prius ever, and perhaps the most intriguing. Chris takes a look at what makes the Prius c tick while Al (who was there for one of his other outlets — the cad!) tells what it's like around the streets of Delray Beach, Florida. Speaking of swanky surroundings, Mini and Ilaria Fendi have gotten together to create men's and women's bags made from Mini Roadster leftovers. Chris Sawyer gets the "Timing Is Everything" award when he goes on TV (again!) to talk about winter driving just as a storm hits Michigan. Finally, Al vents his spleen on interior engineers and designers who make finding, and using, the gearshift a nightmare.
February 17, 2012: Technology is the word this week, from the sublime to the scary fast. First up is a new touchpad technology from TRW Automotive. It uses an affordable multi-graphic rear projection display that shows you more than the numbers that will unlock your car's doors. Next are affordable Metal Matrix Composite brake rotors. NYU-Poly and REL, Inc. are working on this technology, and suggest it can remove 30 lb. of unsprung weight from the typical mid-size sedan, last the life of the car, and perform better than the cast iron rotors in production today. At TVD, we call that a bargain. Our last technology is a Lola LMP1 prototype outfitted with an electric drivetrain. If that isn't enough, some of the electrical systems on the vehicle are powered by structural batteries; cells whose chemistry has been integrated into the composites making up the structure of the vehicle. It's pretty trick stuff. Just don't expect to see it running at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Back in the real world, Chris Sawyer takes the Mazda2 Touring out to see what it's made of. Is it a sporting economy car or a fraternal twin to the Ford Fiesta that uses the same underpinnings? Finally, Al responds to a reader e-mail, and gives both barrels to drivers who slow down to a crawl before turning. Even more frightening is that Al's satirical take on what should be done to these miscreants — disemboweling comes to mind — is one of his milder suggestion.
February 10, 2012: It's a big week at The Virtual Driver. Al spent time in California driving the new 3 Series. Yes, we "hate" him, too. Judging from his words, the new 3 Series is a big step forward from its already excellent predecessor, no matter which engine you choose. This time, however, your choice of motors extends to a four-cylinder with a twin-scroll turbo and its bigger, six-cylinder brother. Next time, Al stays home… In a more serious vein, Al reviews Bill Vlasic's latest book on the auto industry. This time around, Vlasic takes a look at the decline, fall and rise of Detroit's automakers, and gives us fascinating insights into why these companies almost collapsed. Meanwhile, Sawyer looks into the situation at Suzuki, wondering if the company can survive in the U.S. market in its present state. (It can't.) With that in mind, he looks at the Suzuki lineup and puts forward a plan for its revival. He also strips the Chicago Auto Show down to its basics, looking at the newest of the new vehicles and concepts shown in the Windy City. It's a short, but interesting list. Finally, Al (he was busy this week) looks at into his crystal ball and discovers a time when, unlike his youth, the V8 Nazis keep you from buying a octo-cylindered vehicle.
February 3, 2012: Back from his bout with kidney stone removal Chris Sawyer takes us inside the world of VW's new modular transverse technology. More than just a standardized structural base or set of powertrains, the MQB, as it is called, is a declaration of war by Volkswagen on the competition. It has the potential to slash per unit costs, increase the level of in-vehicle technology affordably, add immense flexibility to the VW Group's production facilities, and allow it to build more vehicle variations based on a set of common components at a higher profit margin. It's pretty amazing. While he was convalescing, Sawyer also finished a book on Edsel Ford, the only child of Ford Motor Company's founder. The 1934 Model 40 Special Roadster Edsel created alongside Ford design chief Bob Gregorie (right) shows the depths of this man's talents. Little is really known about Edsel, though author Henry Dominguez has done a wonderful job putting together a sympathetic portrait of this forgotten and misunderstood giant. Read the review to find out what a twisted and tragic existence he was forced to lead. Finally, Al gets out on the road to play space invaders, that game where the nicer the car you drive, the more likely it is that people will harm it. He has some sage advice for those who don't want to play that game.

George Zimmerman won't seek immunity hearing
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — The former neighborhood watch leader charged with fatally shooting Trayvon Martin told a judge Tuesday that he agrees with his defense attorneys' decision not to seek an immunity hearing under the state's "Stand Your Ground" self-defense law.
Under questioning from Circuit Judge Debra Nelson, Zimmerman repeatedly said "yes" to a series of questions asking if he was aware he was giving up the right to a hearing before his second-degree murder trial in June. A judge would have sole discretion in an immunity hearing to decide if Zimmerman is exempt from culpability in the shooting. A jury would make the determination in the murder trial.
"After consultation with my counsel, yes, your honor," Zimmerman said.
The judge had set aside two weeks at the end of April for an immunity hearing should Zimmerman want one. Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda had filed a motion asking that Zimmerman make clear his intentions on whether he wanted the hearing.
Zimmerman's defense attorney, Mark O'Mara, told the judge Tuesday there was nothing in the law that required the immunity hearing to take place before Zimmerman's trial and could be requested after prosecutors have presented their case.
"We'd much rather have the jury address the issue of criminal liability or lack thereof," O'Mara said.
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty, claiming self-defense. Martin was fatally shot in February 2012 during a fight with Zimmerman in a Sanford gated community.
O'Mara also wanted the court to unseal details on a civil settlement Martin's parents received from Zimmerman's homeowner's association. O'Mara contended the settlement could influence the testimony of Martin's parents, if they are called as witnesses.
The judge said defense attorneys and prosecutors could see full copies of the settlement but the public would only be able to see a version from which some information has been removed.

Earthquake still shaking up for Epping recreation centerBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
November 26. 2012 10:34PM
EPPING - Damage to the town's historic Watson Academy possibly caused by October's 4.0 earthquake that shook New Hampshire has recreation officials looking for a new home.
Recreation Director Nicole Bizzaro is exploring options after the building - a former school that houses the recreation center - was forced to close following the discovery of cracks and other structural problems in the building that was built in 1883 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
With the future of Watson Academy uncertain, Bizzaro recently met with the school district's superintendent and business administrator to discuss the possibility of moving the recreation center to the school administrative office building.
"I think there's definitely a lot of potential in the site from a recreational standpoint," Bizzaro told selectmen at a board meeting Monday night.
The recreation center's activities have temporarily relocated to the elementary and middle schools while Bizzaro's office was moved to the town hall.
Selectmen hired SFC Engineering Partnership Inc. of Auburn in October to assess the damage to Watson Academy and prepare a report detailing the structural problems and recommendations for repairs.
A draft of a report was recently provided to selectmen, but the company is expected to prepare a more complete report with cost estimates and more information on repairs, selectmen said.
Repairing Watson Academy could cost anywhere from $100,000 to as much as $500,000, said Selectman Karen Falcone, board chairman.
Any proposal to spend big money on repairs would have to be decided by voters, and with town meeting just around the corner in March, selectmen said there's little time to plan a warrant article.
"Time is of the essence here. . The recreation department has been displaced and we need to decide what we're going to do with it," Town Administrator Greg Dodge said.
Bizzaro said it's possible that the recreation center could relocate to the school administrative building, which is owned by the town and has a field. Some renovations would be needed, but she said she feels it's the best option if Watson Academy is going to remain closed.
Assuming that it'll remain closed for the foreseeable future, selectmen voted Monday to winterize Watson Academy.

The departure of Windows Chief Steven Sinofsky from Microsoft is another sign that the PC market is dying and the software company isn't needed in a computing market dominated by smartphones and tablets, said Dan Niles, senior portfolio manager at AlphaOne Capital Partners.
While Windows 8, the latest version of the Windows operating system spurred hope among some investors that Microsoft may be due for a comeback, the reality is the company was just too late to the game in the mobile market, Niles said.
"I think the thing is with Microsoft, they're really behind. They were behind in the transition to smartphones, they completely missed that. And they were behind in the transition to tablets," Niles said. "The problem with technology is when you come late to a party, you're really fighting from behind. And Apple has shown, you don't need Microsoft to get a good tablet experience. Google has shown through Android that you don't need it either."
Sinofsky, the former head of the Microsoft division that developed the Windows operating system, resigned from the company Monday night. Windows 8, which has an interface designed for touch-screen devices, was launched less than a month ago.
Microsoft and Intel dominate the PC market, but the PC market faces serious issues, Niles said. PC units this year will be down year-over-year for the first time since the technology bubble burst in 2000, signaling that mobile devices are killing the PC market, Niles said.
"The problem is, you look at tablets and smartphones, it's been pretty obvious for years now that you don't need either of those two companies for those products," Niles said.

Nashua police chief defends new union contract, wage increasesBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
August 17. 2014 10:09PM
NASHUA — Despite concerns from the mayor about a newly proposed police contract, Police Chief John Seusing said the recommended wage increases are necessary to recruit new officers and remain competitive.
"Not only do we think this (contract) is fair because of the concessions, but as a police agency, we need to stay competitive with salary and benefits for obvious reasons," Seusing said. "We are all looking for that very select few police candidates that are out there that have very high standards that we require."
The Nashua Patrolman's Association, which has been working without a contract for three years, has prepared a newly proposed bargaining agreement for its 137 members. The contract, if approved, would allow a 15 percent wage increase spread out over a seven-year period, according to the contract being recommended by the union and the Nashua Police Commission.
In return, Seusing said patrolmen will owe health-care premiums back to 2011, with some officers included in a family plan owing balances of $5,000 to $6,000. The majority of that bill will be paid using retroactive salary raises, according to the chief.
Any remaining balance of their retroactive health-care premiums — likely a few hundred dollars for select officers — will be paid for with a reduction in their vacation or sick time accruals over the life of the contract, according to the proposal.
"This was a compromise on both sides. I think it is very fair," Seusing said. "The union also agreed to remove the named health providers from their contract, which was another big concession the city wanted."
Seusing admits that the recent negotiations were not typical, especially since a seven-year contract, running from 2011 to 2018, was being prepared.
"The union, in my opinion, was very reasonable," said Seusing, maintaining every concession requested — with the exception of the accrued vacation or sick time — has been met.
Seusing acknowledged that the proposed 15 percent wage increases over the span of the seven-year contract may, at first glance, seem "staggering."
But when the salary raises are broken down over a seven-year period, plus the cost-of-living increases and the additional 10 percent retroactive health-care contributions, the result is a fair and reasonable proposal, said the chief.
The Board of Aldermen will now consider the recommended bargaining agreement.
Last week, Mayor Donnalee Lozeau submitted a written statement to the board highlighting her concerns with certain provisions of the proposed contract.
Lozeau said she does not agree with the contract allowing officers to pay off the balance of their retroactive health-care premiums by agreeing to a reduction in their vacation or sick time accruals over the life of the contract.
"While the city cannot recover the full costs associated with the patrolmen's health-care plan since Oct. 1, 2011, and since the patrolmen have already benefited from not having the cost of three years of increased co-pays and deductibles, in fairness to our other city employees, these (patrolmen) should also repay their health-care premiums with real money through weekly payroll deductions," Lozeau said. "I believe that the city should treat all its employees fairly when negotiating contracts."

UPDATED: House committee votes 23-22 to kill casino billBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
May 15. 2013 9:09AM
CONCORD — After nearly a month of hearings, testimony and discussions, the Joint House Finance and Ways and Means Committee voted Wednesday by the slimmest of margins to kill casino gambling.
The super committee voted 23-22 to kill Senate Bill 152, which would allow one casino along the southern border of the state with up to 5,000 video slot machines and 150 table games.
The House has never approved casino gambling. But proponents believe this year is their best chance in some time with the backing of Gov. Maggie Hassan, who supports the bill and included $80 million in licensing fees in her proposed budget.
The House votes on the bill Wednesday, with a long debate expected. House Speaker Terie Norelli, D-Portsmouth, refused to predict the outcome, but said it would be close.
Casino supporters viewed the committee's close vote optimistically — including the governor, who said the vote shows momentum is growing.
"Even without members having the opportunity to vote on bipartisan amendments, the one-vote margin demonstrates the strong and growing support in the House of Representatives for SB 152," Hassan said. "A number of amendments strengthen the bill and make the regulatory structure more clear. They deserve very careful consideration."
The committee did not vote on 17 amendments proposed by members earlier in the day after the committee voted to kill the bill.
No other options
Bill supporters said the state has no other options to pay for needed state services. They called it an economic development and job creation plan that has the support of the state's people.
"What's the alternative?" asked Rep. Frank Sapareto, R-Derry. "We won't have a sales or income tax. What do you want? Here is one way to raise revenue and not tax the public."
Proponents noted if the state does nothing, Massachusetts casinos will drain state revenues while leaving this state with the social costs.
"I'm very disappointed the will of the people is once again dismissed and our ability to boost economic development and job creation (stymied)," said the bill's prime sponsor, Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, D-Manchester.
Not a good bet
But opponents said a casino would create pathological gamblers, cannibalize existing businesses and exert undue influence on politicians and office holders.
"A casino would bring much-needed revenue to the state, but at what cost?" asked Rep. Patricia Lovejoy, D-Stratham, who made the motion to kill the bill. "It's too high a price to pay. SB 152 is not a good bet for New Hampshire."
Some opposed the bill while not opposing expanded gambling, because they said SB 152 was too flawed and would create a monopoly.
Other opponents said the revenue generated for the state will fall far short of what is promised and others said all the money should go into the general fund to address all the state's needs, rather than directing dollars to higher education, highways and bridges and North Country economic development, as the bill dictates.
Others said the bill does not require the developer to build a high-end or destination casino that could draw out-of-staters, while the profits will not help New Hampshire.
"The bulk of the money will go to owners who don't live in this state," said Rep. Norman Major, R-Plaistow. "The money to support jobs and business will leave this state."
Process criticized
However, 12 committee members who offered an amendment earlier in the day to tighten regulations, restrict political contributions and increase the attorney general's authority plan to offer a similar amendment when the bill comes to the House floor. Other amendments are also expected if the House turns down the committee's recommendation.
"The real game will be played on the House floor," D'Allesandro said.
Some bill supporters objected to the process.
"What is surprising and unfortunate, however, is the (committee) chair's decision to not allow members to vote upon the thoughtful suggestions and amendments prepared by so many members," said Rich Killion, spokesperson for Millennium Gaming, which has an option to buy Rockingham Park in Salem and is a likely bidder. "To have them ceremoniously discarded without a vote seems to be against the best traditions of the people's House."
But opponents praised the process and the work done by the super committee.
"The joint committee spent three weeks attempting to address the failings of SB 152, but could not overcome the bill's inadequacies," said Lew Feldstein of Casino Free New Hampshire. "Thanks to Speaker Terie Norelli and the members of the joint committee, there was a careful review of the bill and they concluded that the certain costs outweigh the possible benefits."
17 amendments
The committee spent the morning reviewing the 17 amendments, ranging from changing the distribution of the state's share of casino profits to a comprehensive rewrite of casino regulation.
Some proposed creating a new commission to oversee casino operations, replacing the Lottery Commission, and reducing the licensing fee while increasing the state's share of profits on the video slot machines and table games.
Another proposal would make gambling legal, while yet another would allow video slots machines in any establishment with a liquor license; another increased the mandatory investment in the facility so it could compete with a destination casino near Boston.
The bill passed the Senate on a 16-8 vote earlier this session.

Crucially, this exchange occurred in February 2014 — more than two years after EPA issued the emission standards for mercury and air toxics that opponents now claim deprive EPA of the authority to issue the Clean Power Plan.Concession #2:
The American Public Power Association and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association — current petitioners against the Clean Power Plan — expressly supported Keisler's position in American Electric Power v. Connecticut . Their amicus brief in that case specifically cited section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act — the same section under which EPA issued the Clean Power Plan — as a source of EPA's authority to regulate the carbon pollution from existing power plants.
[The Clean Air Act] authorizes EPA to list categories of 'stationary sources' — i.e., non-mobile emissions sources, such as power plants — that 'cause[ ], or contribute[ ] significantly to, air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare,' and to establish federal performance standards for new or modified sources that fall within the listed category. [Clean Air Act] § [1]11(b)(1)(A), (B). It requires states to issue performance standards for existing stationary sources in some circumstances, subject to EPA-promulgated guidelines. Id. § [1]11(d). ( Brief of Amici Curiae Edison Electric Institute, American Public Power Association, and National Rural Electric Cooperative Association in American Electric Power v. Connecticut , 564 U.S. 410 (2011), pages 6 and 7, emphasis added )[The Clean Air Act] authorizes EPA to list categories of 'stationary sources' — i.e., non-mobile emissions sources, such as power plants It requires states to issue performance standards for existing stationary sources in some circumstances, subject to EPA-promulgated guidelines. § [1]11(d).
The brief goes on to note that section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act requires the establishment of emission standards for:
air pollutants that are not regulated under other provisions of the Clean Air Act, such as [greenhouse gases] ( Brief of Amici Curiae Edison Electric Institute, American Public Power Association, and National Rural Electric Cooperative Association in American Electric Power v. Connecticut , 564 U.S. 410 (2011), page 9)
This is directly contrary to the position these same opponents have taken in the Clean Power Plan litigation, in which they have written that EPA lacks authority to regulate carbon pollution even though that pollution is not regulated under other Clean Air Act programs.

In the summer of 1951, Miranda Schuyler arrives on elite, secretive Winthrop Island as a schoolgirl from the margins of high society, still reeling from the loss of her father in the Second World War. When her mother marries Hugh Fisher, whose estate on Winthrop overlooks its famous lighthouse, Miranda's catapulted into a heady new world of pedigrees and cocktails, status and swimming pools.
But beneath the Island's patrician façade, there are really two castes: the summer families with their steadfast ways and quiet obsessions, and the working class of Portuguese fishermen and domestic laborers. Uneasy among her privileged friends, Miranda finds herself drawn to Joseph Vargas, whose father keeps the lighthouse with his mysterious wife. As the summer winds to its end, he and Miranda are caught in a catastrophe that will shatter Winthrop's hard-won tranquility and banish Miranda from the Island for nearly two decades.
Now, in the landmark summer of 1969, Miranda returns at last, and she begins an impassioned quest for justice to the man she once loved . . . even if that means laying bare every last one of the secrets that bind the families of Winthrop Island.

Oct. 19, 2007
.There was a deafening silence. It was as if time stood still for a few seconds.
Then there was anguish followed by uncontrollable tears.
Friday night a Lady Bisons soccer team that has made so many historic moments this season just missed on adding another chapter.
With 1:07 left to play in the second overtime Stetson's Tessa Gavilsky put a shot past Lady Bisons goalkeeper Katie Shelton for the win in an Atlantic Sun game at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex.
"I told our players at the start of overtime that we were going to play to win it," said Lipscomb coach Jon Ireland. "I told them if we lose, we will lose because we gave it all that we had. I did that to send them the message that we weren't going to be happy with 0-0 ties anymore.
"We could have played a lot more defense and earned the tie. We had a couple of dangerous chances in the second overtime.
It was a hard luck game for the Lady Bisons. What appeared to be a goal in regulation by freshman forward Halie Proffitt was nullified for offsides. Proffitt had a chance in the double overtime when her shot hit the cross bar as she shot from approximately eight feet out. And the corner shot that followed also narrowly missed sparking a goal. The Lady Bisons out-shot Stetson 6-3 in the overtime periods.
"I told our players before the start of the first overtime to just give ourselves a chance to win," said Ireland. "Sometimes it's just a matter of luck. We hit a crossbar and then miss off of the corner kick and they do down and score a minute later."
The Lady Bisons were out shot 34-11, but it wasn't the quantity that counted as much as the quality. The Lady Bisons had six shots on goal. Stetson made 14.
Proffitt was credited with a season-high seven shots, including four shots on goal.
Shelton had an outstanding game with 13 saves.
Stetson's goaltender Andrea Garavaglia made six saves for the shutout.
"Stetson had a lot of size," Ireland said. "They dominated the air balls. It is hard to compete when you don't win the headers. We had a hard time staying with them because of their size."
The Lady Bisons are 3-10-1 overall, 1-4-1 in the A-Sun. Stetson is 5-8-1 overall, 3-4-0 in the conference.
The Lady Bisons have another quick turnaround as they face visiting Florida Gulf Coast Sunday at noon.
"We will watch film Saturday," Ireland said. "We have to want to keep working. What is most encouraging is the heart we are playing with now. If you take out last Sunday's loss at Kennesaw State it has been amazing the difference between now and the start of the season."

5-year-old shoots, injures 3-year-old in Colorado
PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) — Police say that a 5-year-old playing with a gun shot and injured a 3-year-old girl in Colorado.
The girl was in critical but stable condition Monday after the shooting but it wasn't clear how she was doing Tuesday. The Pueblo Chieftain reports (http://bit.ly/1o8xdqm) that police believe two other children were playing with a handgun in the backyard of a home.
Police say a 9-year-old boy got the handgun from the house and that a 5-year-old got the gun and pointed it at the girl. The gender of the 5-year-old was not disclosed.
This Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2014 image provided by the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office shows Adrian Chavez, 22, who was arrested on child abuse charges after a 5-year-old allegedly shot a 3-year-old girl with Chavez's gun in Pueblo, Colo. on Monday Aug. 4, 2014. The girl was in critical condition but stable Monday after the shooting. The Pueblo Chieftain reports that police believe two other children were also playing with a handgun in the backyard of thge home. (AP Photo/Pueblo County Sheriff¿s Office)
The victim's mother was home at the time but hasn't been identified.
The child who shot the 3-year-old will not be charged with a crime. But the mother's boyfriend, who owns the gun, 22-year-old Adrian Chavez, was arrested and faces child abuse charges for allegedly leaving the weapon unattended.
Chavez, who was wanted for failing to appear in court in another matter, fled after the shooting but was found later. He was being held on $200,000 bond. It wasn't immediately clear if he had a lawyer.
Police said the 9-year-old who first took the gun said he learned how to handle the weapon from video games.
Craig Jay said he was painting a house nearby at the time of the shooting when he heard what he thought was a large firecracker. A few minutes later he saw a fire truck arriving and saw a woman run out of the house holding a limp child.
"She was screaming and they told her to take the child back in the house and they all ran in the house," he said.
The shooting comes less than a week after a 5-year-old girl in Idaho died when she was accidentally shot by another 5-year-old.

Palestinian stabs Israeli in Jerusalem after protestsBy JEFFREY HELLER
December 11. 2017 12:53AM
JERUSALEM — A Palestinian stabbed an Israeli security guard at Jerusalem's main bus station on Sunday, police said, and violence flared near the U.S. Embassy in Beirut over President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Four days of street protests in the Palestinian territories over Trump's announcement on Wednesday have largely died down, but his overturning of long-standing U.S. policy on Jerusalem — a city holy to Jews, Muslims and Christians — drew more Arab warnings of potential damage to prospects for Middle East peace.
"Our hope is that everything is calming down and that we are returning to a path of normal life without riots and without violence," Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Army Radio.
But in Jerusalem, a security guard was in critical condition after a 24-year-old Palestinian man from the occupied West Bank stabbed him after approaching a metal detector at an entrance to the city's central bus station, police said. The alleged assailant was taken into custody after a passer-by tackled him.
In public remarks on Sunday, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, a frequent critic of Israel, called it an "invader state" and a "terror state."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who spoke at a news conference in Paris alongside French President Emmanuel Macron after the two leaders met, fired back:
"I'm not used to receiving lectures about morality from a leader who bombs Kurdish villages in his native Turkey, who jails journalists, helps Iran go around international sanctions and who helps terrorists, including in Gaza, kill innocent people," Netanyahu said.
Macron told Netanyahu that he needed to make gestures to the Palestinians to break the impasse between the two sides.
"I asked Prime Minister Netanyahu to make some courageous gestures towards the Palestinians to get out of the current impasse," Macron said, suggesting that a freeze of construction in settlements could be a first step.
Most countries consider East Jerusalem, which Israel annexed after capturing it in a 1967 war, to be occupied territory and say the status of the city should be decided at future Israeli-Palestinian talks. Israel says that all of Jerusalem is its capital, while Palestinians want East Jerusalem as the capital of a future independent state.
The Trump administration has said it is still committed to reviving Palestinian-Israeli talks that collapsed in 2014, but jettisoning old policies is necessary to break the deadlock.
Washington says it has not taken a position on Jerusalem's final status or borders, but it is sensible to recognize that any future peace deal will have Israel's capital in the city.
The United States was "as committed to the peace process as we've ever been," U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said on Sunday. Trump "didn't talk about boundaries, he didn't talk about borders... Because the final status of Jerusalem is between the Palestinians and the Israelis. It's not for the Americans to decide."
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will not meet Vice President Mike Pence during his visit to the region, Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki said on Saturday. The White House said on Sunday that decision was unfortunate and Pence looked forward to seeing Netanyahu and Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
"It's unfortunate that the Palestinian Authority is walking away again from an opportunity to discuss the future of the region," said Jarrod Agen, a spokesman for Pence.
Netanyahu reacted to critics in a statement before talks with Macron, to be followed by a meeting with European foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday.
"I hear (from Europe) voices of condemnation over President Trump's historic announcement, but I have not heard any condemnation for the rocket firing against Israel that has come (after the announcement) and the awful incitement against us," Netanyahu said.

First Mariner Bancorp on Tuesday said it was correcting preliminary earnings figures released earlier for 2012, reducing its annual non-interest income by $892,000.
According to the latest figures, the Baltimore-based bank holding company earned $699,000 for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, or 4 cents per share. For all of last year, the company earned $16.1 million, or 85 cents per share, a record.
The company reported preliminary quarterly and annual earnings at the end of January, but revised the report while preparing its audited financial statements. First Mariner said the drop in non-interest income was due to adjustments on the gains from mortgage loan sales and the value of other related loans.
First Mariner shares closed at 89 cents each, down 1 cent, on Tuesday.

When Should I Stop Taking Metformin?
I have been off glimeride for three months. I`ve lost weight and my sugars aren`t too high. I feel so much better. My question is do I continue metformin for the rest of my life, or can I get off this medication?
Congratulations on taking a pro-active approach to managing your diabetes! As for whether you will be able to stop the metformin at some point depends on whether you are able to achieve good blood sugar control. In general, the American Diabetes Association recommends a daily fasting blood sugar 80-130 and a 2 hr. after meal reading of under 180 with a HgbA1C test of 7.0% or less. If you have not already done so, it is important to talk with your doctor to see what he/she recommends for your own personalized blood sugar goals.
If your blood sugars currently (on metformin) are meeting these targets, it could indicate the metformin is doing its job. If the metformin was stopped and your blood sugars rose above target, it would indicate you need the metformin to control your blood sugars. Of course, before making any changes in your medications you would want to talk to your doctor about it. While weight loss and other lifestyle changes are extremely important, diabetes is unfortunately a progressive disease-over time and as we age, insulin resistance increases resulting in rising blood sugars. The most important thing is achieving good blood sugar control because that is what lowers the risk of developing the complications diabetes; medications that help you get there are powerful allies in your management 'toolbox'!
Consider meeting with a certified diabetes educator to help you develop a comprehensive plan to manage your diabetes.

(RNN) – Before the selection for the best viral video of the year is announced, let's reflect on what happened to us in the last 12 months.
We went crazy over a song we couldn't understand, performed by someone who – in his words – briefly hated Americans. Carly Rae Jepsen carried the torch for passive aggressive women still in search for gentlemen. Mr. Rogers somehow found a way to get cooler, even though he has been dead for some time.
And finally, any animal that playfully wreaked havoc on their owners' lives instantly became the "cutest thing ever" as long as there was a smartphone with a photo app within reach.
And who says technology is ruining the world?
We're not going to mess around like those folks at the Academy Awards and wait until the end of the show to reveal the big winner.
Although it didn't generate a stupefying number of views, the twin infants dancing in sync to their father's guitar was just too cute to resist. And it never got annoying, which was high on the criteria list.
Anyone who doesn't adore or at least appreciate this video should have their membership to the human race revoked.
This was a close race between Psy and venerable Ms. Jepsen, both equally annoying after 20 views. But you have to show respect for the most-watched YouTube video in history.
Of course, something will eventually eclipse the popularity of Gangnam Style, but after soaking in this hot mess for six months, it's scary to think what that video could look like.
In an election year, this was another tough choice: Dumb politicians vs. people who say dumb things about politicians.
Oh mercy, what to do? Do we pick the ragingly funny lip reading of the political debates? Do we pick Samuel L. Jackson's impassioned (and vulgar) cry for voters to make an informed decision? How about any of the clips from the two candidates themselves?
Actually, we went with the words of a 4-year-old, who perfectly summed up the entire election in less than 30 seconds.
The goat in this video is somewhat reminiscent of the younger cousin you had to put up with on holidays, family reunions or that particularly odd weekend when his parents were going through a "timeout."
This animal is superbly annoying to everyone around him, but adorable to those of us who do not have to put up with him.
Be honest. You and your friends were betting on the over/under that Felix Baumgartner would get torn to thousands of pieces when he jumped from space.
But he pulled it off, and his historic feat was a brief reminder that there are still great things to discover for those who dare.
What do you get when you mix cold weather, a half-naked man's bravado and a dare that (possibly) included alcohol?
Well, you get one heck of a bruise to post on Twitter. The lesson here is it's always best to stick your toe in the water before you dive.
Millions of males who were taught that it's impolite to stare forgot that advice – and just about everything else useful in their brain – after three minutes of a sprinter named Michelle Jenneke.
Seriously, this is how she warms up for a race? The stuff she does in her spare time could probably break up marriages.
Now that we've fed one stereotype, we will proceed on to killing another.
Bodyform's response to one man is probably what every woman has wanted to tell every man they've ever met, but did not. No, not out of reserve, but because they all knew the male brand of species was just too limited to understand.
No one is going to give it to you straight like a big sister, and this one is about as blunt as you're going to find anywhere.
Well, the kids are British, so maybe that has something to do with it. They've had to deal with a lot during the last 200 years.
And finally, we reintroduce you to OAG, which is short for "The girl no guy ever wants to deal with."
If there's anything scarier than marriage these days, it's marriage after knowing someone for 36 hours.

Rated 4 out of 5 by mamaof3 from Very nice dress I bought this dress in the black/egret in a size small. The top fit great but I wish it flowed a little more and not so form fitting. I bought a dress from bebe last year that was similar in style but the material was different (it was the blue/white chevron dress). I was hoping this black/egret dress was the same material because it flowed so nicely. I am 5'4" so I will have to get it altered (which I am use to doing with bebe clothes.) I wish bebe would make more petite clothes because it looks like more girls are average height vs. tall so having both would be beneficial to the company. Just a thought.

Rated 4 out of 5 by MsLolaGrace from Great for Summer I love maxi dresses, odered this in both colors. Got the black/egret 1st. I ordered a large, my normal size & it fit nice. The top was snug & has good support w/o a bra & the dress flared out & was loose & flowy. Nice material, good quality & the dress is lined. It was a lil long for flat sandals but still happy w/ it. I just got the white/ sesame. Had to go up a size b/c large was sold out. The top fits the same but way too much material on the bottom & way too long. I'm 5'6" & at least 3-4 inches on the floor. I will agree, the color is quite blah. It blends w/ my skin & washes me out. The color is also less forgiving & shows some bumps the black didn't. If there was a store in RI I'd be returning the white/sesame one.

Rated 4 out of 5 by jend from love it!!! I am 5'3" and I do love the dress...it is however a bit too long.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dressytomboy from Great Summer Dress Love this dress! True to color on the screen. Yes it is long enough for highest heels/wedges. No you can't wear with sandals due to length, however you could get it hemmed for both shoe lengths. It is lined however still need to wear nude color bra/underwear (maybe even Spanx due to underwear lines), heavy material, therefore flows beautifully. I am a D cup and usually wear a size 6 in other clothing lines, therefore ordered a Medium, fit great. I get compliments all the time!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Imperi from Comfortable & Sexy! This review is for the black & white version. I wore this dress out the first night after I bought it and I felt so sexy and glamourous! I felt like everyone in the restaurant was watching me (in a good way)--and my fiance confirmed my feeling. ;) This dress is super sexy in an elegant, almost evening gown way, while also being one of the most comfortable pieces of clothing I've ever worn. The material is SO soft, and the thick, asymmetrical stripes make it way slimming. I would definitely recommend this dress to anyone wanting a more elegant but sexy and comfy dress for summer!

Rated 3 out of 5 by sbrya28 from REALLY need this in a Petite Length!!! I had read reviews from before when this dress initially was sold in the black/white combo about being too long. So with me being 5'3", that was a bit of a concern. I saw this in the sesame/white combo and felt like I wanted to take a chance (size Small). Well...I got it, and it fit very well in the chest area, but fit like a blanket everwhere else. There's just way too much fabric for this to be a practical dress to wear out. It was really long on me, and also the colors were not as flattering, looked really dull in person as opposed to the pic online. After debating for a bit, I decided to return it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bellabriggs55 from Love this maxi dress I love this dress. I have both colors. I'm only 5'4 115-120 lbs and i got the xsmall, and its long on me but add a slight heel n ill be fine. But with sandal MIGHT need to be careful. I don't mind it long just not dragging. So we will see. Overall this dress is amazing. It's light weight but super shape forming but loose at se time.....it flows perfectly for your body type sounds better! I recommend this dress to others. You will absolutely love it!!

RI Blood Center to facilitiate calls from North Pole
The Rhode Island Blood Center and the North Pole are joining together this season to bring some extra excitement to children of blood donors.
Donors can register their children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews – or any child who is important in their lives – to receive a call from the North Pole. Registration is through Friday, Dec. 14. Call 453-8383 to add children to the registry.
The elves at the North Pole (aka the Rhode Island Blood Center) will contact each child on the registry during the week of Dec. 17.
Getting in the spirit of the season not only means that phone call from the North Pole, but also that we remain aware that there are those in our community who will not be able to enjoy the holidays, spending time hospitalized and often in need of blood products. Consider the gift of life this holiday season, and donate blood at any of the donor centers or blood drives. The nearest center is 615 Greenwich Ave., Warwick (behind Sleepy's).
