Team Ratings
Oldham Athletic
D. Bouzanis
Might have done better for Luis Suarez's goal - the goalkeeper seemed to have been wrong-footed - but dealt with most of the crosses that came into the box well enough and will be pleased not to have shown himself up as did Jones.
R. Wabara
Scored an absolutely fantastic goal early in the second half, powering home a towering header. Has a real exuberance from right-back and will run for his side all day long. Won many of the duels against Borini defensively.
J. Grounds
A full-back of higher pedigree than League One, Grounds held his own against Sterling and never once looked out of place. The former Middlesbrough man is good in the tackle and made only one mistake in giving the ball away late in the game.
C. Byrne
A wily old customer, Byrne used all of his experience to upset the illustrious opponents. What was key was knowing when to drop off and when to attack the ball - the central defender knew his lack of pace could be Oldham's undoing. Made a super block at 3-1.
J. M'voto
M'voto may have been pinpointed as a weakness in the home XI prior to kick-off, but the central defender was excellent. Won everything in the air and intercepted very astutely. He even almost scored early in the second half.
Y. M'Changama
A shame for the winger that he was put out of the game early on, but delivered a wicked cross for the opening goal during his five minutes.
J. Wesolowski
Has always been a dogged central midfielder and that was the case in this game, often filling in and sweeping up while doing the simple things well to allow the more expressionist players in the ranks do their thing.
R. Simpson
Simpson's link-up play is good, dropping off the front, and he was able to get the two wide midfielders into the game, which eventually led to the second goal. Rushed a couple of chances but to be expected in such a big fixture.
L. Croft
Once a Premier League footballer, Croft still has quality on the ball but lacks the fitness to keep up. But in this one-off game, the midfielder ran himself into the ground.
M. Smith
A huge unit to hit with long balls and Smith proved to be a handful on the deck and in the air. Was in the right place to poach both of his goals and Coates failed to deal with his presence all afternoon.
J. Baxter
Touted as the danger man beforehand, but he was overshadowed by Smith as the talk of Oldham. In truth, Baxter didn't have his finest day. But the attacker's insistence on pinging balls around and getting his side moving make him a real threat.
B. Jones
Made an absolute meal of the second goal, spilling a routine cross into the box, and showed why Liverpool might be wise to invest in a goalkeeper sooner rather than later. Looked extremely nervous.
M. Škrtel
Wasn't helped by Coates alongside him, but Skrtel didn't really exert his usual dominance over the opposition. As you'd expect, the defender headed well and won his battles but his team-mates needed a bit more determination from the players of his ilk to get back into the game.
A. Wisdom
Ought to have got tighter to his man for both the first and third goals and is sometimes guilty of being too enthusiastic in the tackle when standing his ground would be more advisable.
S. Coates
Couldn't deal with Smith's strength and movement throughout and is seemingly struggling to acclimatise to English football. Was shaky in possession, never looking comfortable, and was on his heels for the opening goal.
J. Robinson
An exciting prospect going forward, Robinson has the technical ability to become a real asset at left-back for Liverpool. Defensively he wasn't actually challenged too much with Oldham preferring the other flank.
J. Allen
Almost completely anonymous in a 90 minutes that passed him by. Should have demanded to get on the ball and dictate proceedings but was happy to allow others to try and create chances. His goal took a huge deflection and looked to be initially going wide.
J. Henderson
What is impressive about Henderson is his willingness to run beyond the front men, but he had very little opportunity to do so. Passed the ball well but may have wanted to get in possession in and around the box more.
R. Sterling
Sterling looked really fired up - so much so that he may have been sent off if he'd carried on as he began - and keen to play little one-twos in the box. Nothing seemed to come off though, and he was substituted for Shelvey.
L. Suárez
Having scored eight goals in his last eight games, Suarez again showed why he is so vital to Liverpool's cause if they are to succeed this season. Every time he's on the ball, Suarez looks as if he is going to cause problems.
D. Sturridge
Was a little precious at the treatment handed to him by Byrne but showed fight in trying to affect the game positively. Was always on the shoulder of the central defenders but the service into him wasn't of its usual quality.
F. Borini
Hasn't scored a single domestic goal since his summer move from Roma, and you can see why. In the 46th minute, Borini was put clean through but scuffed his effort over the bar in what was a glorious chance to bring Liverpool back into the game.
S. Gerrard
Asked by Brendan Rodgers to be the saviour at 3-1 down, Gerrard conjured more much-needed urgency from his side. An inspirational character, the captain smashed the bar late on and deserved more for his efforts.
S. Downing
Has real intent when on the ball nowadays and is direct in his running from the right-hand side. The fact that Downing was seen as a big player off the bench to change the game indicates how far he has come in a couple of months.

The U.S. Small Business Administration offers a variety of programs to help entrepreneurs start, build and grow their businesses. But even if a business never requires extra help with capital or counseling they can still receive a boost in business from participation in some lesser known SBA programs. That has been the experience of O'Fallon Casting, a nonferrous investment casting company based in O'Fallon Missouri.
O'Fallon Casting produces a specialized foundry product for a relatively small international market. Purchased in 2003, O'Fallon Casting has evolved from being an above average foundry to a vibrant world class operation that more than doubled its annual revenue, from $10 million to $25 million, and added 70 additional jobs to the St. Louis economy. As it has grown the company also increased its focus on expanding technology and reaching out to the community.
Among the many initiatives implemented by the company was an increase in community involvement... Read More

Southern Women:
"A new generation of women who are redefining the Southern Belle"
It is not posturing, or hyperbole, or marketing. (See: all those song lyrics about California girls and their undeniable cuteness.) Southern women, unlike women from Boston or Des Moines or Albuquerque, are leashed to history. For better or worse, we are forever entangled in and infused by a miasma of mercy and cruelty, order and chaos, cornpone and cornball, a potent mix that leaves us wise, morbid, good-humored, God-fearing, outspoken and immutable. Like the Irish, with better teeth.
To be born a Southern woman is to be made aware of your distinctiveness. And with it, the rules. The expectations. These vary some, but all follow the same basic template, which is, fundamentally, no matter what the circumstance, Southern women make the effort. Which is why even the girls in the trailer parks paint their nails. And why overstressed working moms still bake three dozen homemade cookies for the school fund-raiser. And why you will never see Reese Witherspoon wearing sweatpants. Or Oprah take a nap.
For my mother, being Southern means handwritten thank-you notes, using a rhino horn's worth of salt in every recipe, and spending a minimum of twenty minutes a day in front of her makeup mirror so she can examine her beauty in "office," "outdoor," and "evening" illumination. It also means never leaving the house with wet hair. Not even in the case of fire. Because wet hair is low-rent. It shows you don't care, and not caring is not something Southern women do, at least when it comes to our hair.
This is less about vanity than self-respect, a crucial distinction often lost on non-Southerners. When a Southern woman fusses over her appearance, it does not reflect insecurity, narcissism, or some arrested form of antifeminism that holds back the sisterhood. Southern women are postfeminism. The whole issue is a nonstarter, seeing as Southern women are smart enough to recognize what works—Spanx, Aqua Net—and wise to the allocation of effort. Why pretend the world is something it isn't? Better to focus on what you can control (drying your hair) and make the best of what you have. Side note: Southern women do not capitalize on their looks to snag men, though that often results. The reason we Southern women take care of ourselves is because, simply, Southern women are caretakers.

Governor makes plea for reform over the status quo
By Steve Terrell / The New Mexican January 22, 2014
SANTA FE - Republican Gov. Susana Martinez, speaking on the opening day of the New Mexico Legislature, made a plea for bipartisanship at the end of her State of the State address. However, many of the issues she brought up in her 47-minute speech already have attracted wide opposition from Democrats.
"Let's continue to choose reform over the status quo," the governor said.
"With great challenges come great opportunities,"she said. "To seize these opportunities, we must come together -- Republicans and Democrats, the Legislature and the governor. ... While we won't agree on everything, and there will certainly be spirited debates, I am committed to working with you to find common ground, just like we have in the past, because the people of New Mexico deserve nothing less."
But by the reactions of Democratic legislators both during and after the speech, it appeared that common ground might be hard to find on many key elements of Martinez's agenda -- especially on issues that have been fought in previous sessions, such as the proposed repeal of the law that allows the state to issue driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, and educational issues like Martinez's third-grade reading initiative, teacher evaluations and merit pay.
As often is the case with the president's State of the Union address to Congress, during Martinez's speech, the only lawmakers who responded to the obvious applause lines on controversial issues were members of her own party. Almost all Democrats remained quiet as their GOP colleagues applauded.
Asked about this, Public Education Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera said, "From the vantage point of folks clapping or not clapping, I think shame on us as adults if we can't come together and find the compromise that we need to set our kids up for success."
Some of the five Democrats who want Martinez's job sent emails and tweets criticizing some of Martinez's proposals. Less than 10 minutes after the end of the speech, the gubernatorial campaign of Sen. Howie Morales, D-Silver City, sent potential supporters a lengthy email saying, "What disappoints me the most is how similar each speech has been year after year."
Also quick to respond to the governor's speech was Marcela Díaz of the immigrant rights group Somos Un Pueblo Unido.
In her speech, Martinez said, "I've put forward a strong compromise to repeal this law and still allow driving privileges for [young immigrants brought to the country as children]. It's time to act. The Legislature should do what the overwhelming majority of New Mexicans are demanding -- repeal this dangerous law."
Diaz responded in a written release: "The governor is doing a terrible disservice to New Mexicans by forcing the driver's license issue for a fifth time while our state falls deeper into poverty and our children continue to suffer the tragic consequences of a broken education and child welfare system. It's unconscionable for the governor to put her own political cash cow ahead of New Mexico's families. She is wasting legislators' time on this non-issue when they should be keenly focused on solving the state's real problems."
Diaz pointed out that eight states last year passed legislation allowing undocumented immigrants to drive. Those states are Colorado, Nevada, Maryland, Vermont, California, Connecticut, Oregon and Illinois. Also, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., passed similar laws.
Martinez began her speech talking about the recent school shooting in Roswell, where two students were shot, one suffering critical injures. The governor introduced two guests: John Masterson, the soccer coach and social studies teacher who talked the shooter into surrendering his gun, and Kevin Hayes, a security guard who provided help to one of the victims despite being injured himself in the shooting.
"No human being is gifted with the knowledge of why such tragedy occurs," Martinez said. "But we are thankful that in the face of it, people like both of you display the courage required to help all of us get through."
However, Martinez didn't mention proposed gun control legislation, such as Rep. Miguel Garcia's House Bill 44, which would require background checks for all firearms sales at gun shows.
Asked whether Martinez, who supported a similar bill last year, plans to send a message to allow Garcia's bill to be considered during this session, her spokesman, Enrique Knell, said, "We haven't made any final determination about issues that would be added to the governor's call, or made any final decisions about all the separate and various issues that individual members would like to have messaged."
Martinez, in her speech, endorsed one bill being pushed by the Santa Fe think tank Think New Mexico. Senate Bill 9, sponsored by Senate President Pro Tem Mary Kay Papen, D-Las Cruces, would create an online "one-stop shop" for small businesses to get state permits and other assistance.
And the governor called for legislation to prohibit former legislators from becoming lobbyists for at least two years. She's backed such bills before, but legislators on both sides of the aisle have been cool to the idea.
There was one unscripted moment when Martinez was talking about expanding "parent portals" -- websites where parents can monitor their students' grades and assignments. Several years ago, she said, she was checking up on her stepson on his school's website when she noticed several A's on certain dates. At first she assumed these were grades, but on further investigation, she learned that "A" stood for absence.
"I knew I had to have a talk with him, but not the kind of talk I'd originally planned," Martinez said.

Here, from National Review Online, is an analysis by Meyrav Wurmser of why Israel's left suffered such a crushing defeat in Tuesday's elections. The rival Likud party was rocked by financial scandals and had presided over a weak economy while experiencing only mixed success in combatting terrorism. Nonetheless, Labor suffered a defeat so resounding that, for now at least, it is difficult to view Israeli politics as a two-party system.
Wurmser cites three reasons for this. The first and most obvious is that Labor is still viewed as responsible for the failed Oslo accords and subsequent decline in personal security. This is because Labor has been unable to re-examine its world view in light of the collapse of Oslo. Instead, the only soul-searching that Labor engages in is over how quickly to return to the negotiating table. As Wurmser notes, "the majority of Israelis view this internal debate with a mixture of anger and disbelief."
A second reason for Labor's crushing defeat was the fact that when Prime Minister Sharon went on television to defend himself against corruption charges, his speech was forced off the air by a Supreme Court judge. As Rocket Man predicted at the time, this caused a significant backlash. It was the "Wellstone death rally" moment of the campaign.
The third reason, which is related to the first two, was the electorate's sense that the Israeli left hates not only the government but the concept of Israel itself. Wurmser quotes the celebrated left-wing author Amos Oz as follows: "Among some of the radical intelligentsia in Israel today I see hatred not only for the religious, but also for the settlers, the Right, and the nationalists. I see sweeping hatred for the architecture, for the music, the folk songs, the memories — for everything. For the streets on which people walk. For the buses on which people travel."
There may be a lesson in this for our politics. Our left, arguably as influential in Democratic politics as Israel's left is in Labor, has not re-examined its assumptions in the face of September 11. And its hatred of Americana may be approaching the hatred that Oz describes. Because Americans do not experience terrorism on a daily basis, the Democrats do not presently incur voter wrath to the extent that the Labor party does, nor am I predicting that they will. But there are enough similarities that the possibility that the Democrats will experience a Labor party type melt-down cannot be dismissed.

With NYC becoming more expensive all the time, artists are fleeing to places like Cleveland, Ohio–where you can buy a two-bedroom house for almost as much as a single pack of cigarettes costs here. And with everyone in Cleveland migrating elsewhere, that leaves lots of extra room for folks from W-Burg.
While moving to Ohio be a full-fledged trend yet, enough artists are doing it to inspire local-media trend pieces. "Artists are getting priced out and dispersed through (New York City's) neighborhoods," one NYC-to-Cleveland artist told Cleveland's NBC affiliate. "You're losing the sense of community and working together…Cleveland is a great place for art. There's a lot of culture and diversity here. You still get the big city feel." Nothing wrong with being the next Basquiat of Cuyahoga County, right?
If a critical mass of NYC artists move to Cleveland, that city might acquire official "sixth borough" status–placing it in an elite class that includes:
- Philadelphia
- Jersey City
- all of New Jersey
- Miami
- Yonkers
- "mass transit"
- Lehman Township, Pennsylvania
- San Juan, Puerto Rico
- Israel
- other locations
A-fore you jump in your jalopy and start heading for the Pennsylvania Turnpike, keep in mind that Cleveland might not be the perfect place for you. According to this list, the locals look "hagged out" and wear sweatpants. Pull-quote: "People have attitude problems, especially young single mothers who try to get jobs they aren't qualified for but do it just to make money to support their unplanned children." Coming from New York, you might have trouble adjusting to these attitude-problem people. And there are no dentists?
Forbes listed Cleveland as its "most miserable" city of 2010, which sounds not-so-good. But living in misery could improve your oeuvre. At least your rent will be low!

Mike Cote's Business Editor's Notebook: Currier CEO aims to broaden art's reachBy MIKE COTE
November 18. 2017 11:28PM
The difference between priceless art and a long-forgotten image can be as simple as someone deciding to preserve it for the ages.
The whimsical "Moulin Rouge" poster that opens the Toulouse-Lautrec exhibit at the Currier Museum of Art originally was commissioned to promote a performance by a provocative French entertainer. More than a century later, it's part of a world-class collection on loan from the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
"We've been saying that this is really the beginning of modern advertising, that with just a few colors and a few bold shapes, you communicate everything," says Alan Chong, the Currier's CEO and director. "These were just things that were plastered on the sides of buildings or on the round kiosks that you still see in Paris. That's why they're rare. They were meant to be thrown away."
In their original form, the posters could be viewed by anyone walking along the streets of Paris, inspired to stop for a moment, perhaps, to appreciate Toulouse-Lautrec's playful caricatures of 19th-century nightlife.
Art is for everyone. That's the message Chong has conveyed since becoming the museum's chief executive. Over the past year, the Currier has thrown a neighborhood block party, started a live-music series and brought can-can dancers downtown to promote Lautrec, all in a quest to lure more visitors to the museum. The Currier also has taken steps to further develop its relationships with its neighbors, including social service agencies.
Special events often include free admission to the museum, offering new visitors an introduction to a city jewel.
"We had 2,000 people in July for the block party. We thought they would be coming for the performances and the food trucks and the live music. But they came into the museum," Chong said at the Currier last week. "The museum was packed. So for me, that's a success - if they see art and have a good time."
The museum is open most days from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. (It's closed only on Tuesday.) Admission is $15 for adults, with lower rates for seniors, student and teenagers. Special exhibitions like Toulouse-Lautrec require an additional $5 fee.
"We're conscious that we're expensive to some people. We can't go free all the time. But we should make some free events. So we're experimenting," said Chong, who has worked at museums in Singapore, Toronto, Chicago and Boston.
The museum offers free admission to New Hampshire residents from 10 a.m. to noon on the second Saturday of each month. It also host events some Thursday nights, such as a recent yoga session, that include free general admission.
The museum has considered staying open every Thursday night, but for now, it's going to stick with special occasions.
"We've decided to go for event-based happenings," Chong said. "The MFA (Museum of Fine Art) in Boston has a singles night every Friday night, and it's packed. But it took them years to get there, and we're not there yet."
While the Currier's 150 Ash St. address is only a half-mile from Elm Street, Chong says it needs to work on creating a stronger connection with downtown.
"It's not far, but there's kind of a psychological barrier between us and downtown. We're kind of in the middle of nowhere," Chong said. "We're not really North End. We're not really downtown. But from an outsider, the distances are tiny. We should just be able to fix up the sidewalks and change the traffic patterns on Beech Street so it isn't a freeway."
Finding the right price point for galas has helped the museum temper that distance from downtown. A recent Moulin Rouge party that featured aerial dancers and French fare attracted 400 people at $75 a ticket.
"There was a big debate internally because there was free food. Should we do a hundred dollars? Or would that scare people away? We actually thought we would lose a little money, but in the end we made money even at $75," Chong said. "We just want to make it lighter and fun, especially for people who work all day who can't come between 11 and 5 or 11 and 6."
The Currier's mission to broaden its reach includes working with social service groups. The Currier partners with Easter Seals for an Alzheimer's Cafe, and Catholic Charities recently co-hosted a program at the museum for families with loved ones struggling with addiction.
"Coming up, we're really working on the opiod epidemic, and to see how we as an art museum we can contribute to a solution to this problem," Chong said. "We're not front line. We're not health care givers. We're not counselors. But we think there's something that the museum can do."
That could be as simple as offering a place for people suffering from addiction to enjoy art and the potential of its power to heal.
"We're a safe space," Chong said. "We provide a reassuring environment that's full of beauty - that can spin off interesting conversations about crisis, about emotions."
And perhaps, like priceless art, about preservation.

An analysis of more than 120 studies that examined the effectiveness of medications to treat alcohol use disorders reports that acamprosate and oral naltrexone show the strongest evidence for decreasing alcohol consumption, according to a study in the May 14 issue of JAMA.
Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) are common, cause substantial illness, and result in 3-fold increased rates of early death. Treating AUDs is difficult, but may be aided by medications, although only a small percentage (<10 percent) of patients with AUDs receive medications to assist in reducing alcohol consumption, according to background information in the article.
Daniel E. Jonas, M.D., M.P.H., of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and colleagues conducted a review and meta-analysis to evaluate the benefits and harms of medications for the treatment of adults with AUDs. A search of the medical literature identified 122 randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and 1 cohort study (totaling 22,803 participants) that met criteria for inclusion in the analysis.
Most studies assessed acamprosate (27; n = 7,519), naltrexone (53; n = 9,140), or both. The authors present their results in terms of number needed to treat (NNT), which is the average number of patients who need to be treated to see benefit in one patient. The NNT to prevent return to any drinking for acamprosate was 12 and was 20 for oral naltrexone (50 mg/d). The NNT to prevent return to heavy drinking was 12 for oral naltrexone (50 mg/d). Head-to-head trials have not established superiority of either medication.
For injectable naltrexone, the authors did not find an association with return to any drinking or heavy drinking but found an association with reduction in heavy drinking days.
Because of its long-standing availability (from the 1950s), clinicians may be more familiar with disulfiram than naltrexone or acamprosate. However, evidence from well-controlled trials of disulfiram does not adequately support an association with preventing return to any drinking or improvement in other alcohol consumption outcomes.
Among medications used off-label (prescribing a drug approved to treat a different condition), moderate evidence supports an association with improvement in some consumption outcomes for nalmefene and topiramate.
"When clinicians decide to use one of the medications, a number of factors may help with choosing which medication to prescribe, including the medication's efficacy, administration frequency, cost, adverse events, and availability," the authors conclude.

Editorial: Bringing Patient-Centered Care to Patients With Alcohol Use Disorders
Katharine A. Bradley, M.D., M.P.H., of the Group Health Research Institute, Seattle, and Daniel R. Kivlahan, Ph.D., of the Veterans Health Administration, Washington, D.C., comment on the findings of this study in an accompanying editorial.
"Treatment of AUD is considered an essential health benefit under health care reform. More patients with AUDs will have insurance, which could increase their access to evidence-based treatments for AUDs. The article by Jonas and colleagues should encourage patients and their clinicians to engage in shared decision making about AUD treatment options. By identifying 4 effective medications for AUD [naltrexone, acamprosate, topiramate, and nalmefene], the authors highlight treatment options for a common medical condition for which patient-centered care is not currently the norm. Patients with AUDs should be offered options, including medications, evidence-based behavioral treatments, and mutual support for recovery. Moreover, patients should expect shared decision making about the best options for them."

Ted Siefer's City Hall: Electing Charter Commission chairman takes rounds, politicking
By TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
The first meeting of the city's newly elected Charter Commission didn't exactly get off to an auspicious start.
The nine members had only a few orders of business to tend to on Wednesday, first among them choosing a chairman. In what appears to be a first in Manchester history, the members split their votes three ways. Jerome Duval, Mike Lopez and Rich Girard each received three votes.
It took three rounds of voting and an hour of political intrigue before Duval got the five votes to become chairman.
Girard, part of the minority conservative bloc on a panel, said he nominated himself for chairman because, "I wanted to make a point about how things should be handled."
"I don't think we got off to the right start," Girard said, alluding to discussions about the chairmanship among the members that occurred before the meeting. "Our efforts for the city are best served through public discussions."
Girard and his ally Will Infantine would end up voting for Duval in the final round. And Girard was then elected vice chairman, with Duval serving as a swing vote. A quid pro quo?
The favored pick for chairman among the more solidly Democratic bloc on the panel, state Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, former alderman Lopez, and John Clayton, the former Union Leader columnist, was Lopez.
After the dust settled, Duval quickly assumed the of role of the diplomatic chairman. "I think the people of Manchester got it right to elect all of us," he said. "We're well balanced, and that's what they wanted."
But there were more bumps to come.
Christine Martin, the principal at Webster Elementary School, was nominated to be the panel's secretary, but she wasn't inclined to accept.
"I'm somewhat concerned about the stereotypical implications of the only female on the commission serving as secretary," she said with a laugh.
Once the nature of the position was explained - that it really had to do with signing off on expenses and very little in the way of "secretarial" duties - Martin agreed to accept the nomination.
The meeting also gave City Clerk Matt Normand the chance to set some boundaries. The day before the meeting, the aldermen had voted to allocate $25,000 to a special commission account (that's about how much the past two commissions had spent).
Normand wanted the commissioners to understand that his office was already stretched when it came to clerking.
In other words, note taking, transcription, legal matters - that's what the commission's budget was for. "We simply do not have the staff to transcribe. It's not about the money. We simply don't have the bodies," Normand stressed, adding, "I would certainly help find someone to transcribe for you. It is sort of a lost art."
If the first meeting was any indication, the commission's transcriptionist will be busy. The meeting lasted for nearly two hours.
We'll see how the group fares when it actually gets to the work of altering the basic fabric of city government.
- - - - - - -
There goes the neighborhood? The aldermen last week approved a change in zoning for a parcel of land off Front Street allowing for the construction of a multifamily development.
The Socha Companies plans to build a 27-unit townhouse-style complex on the 1.57 acre plot, in the north west corner of the city near the Intervale Country Club.
Abutters had opposed the project, as had Rich Girard, the former alderman and current radio host and financial adviser. (For the record, Girard does not live in the area.)
He has staked his argument largely on the contention that the development will lead to dozens of new students in the public schools, at a cost - $10,000 per pupil is the estimate - that the tax revenue from the project wouldn't come close to covering.
"Of what benefit is this to Manchester?" he asked the aldermen during the public comment period at Tuesday's meeting.
Joyce Craig, the alderman for Ward 1, where the parcel is located, echoed these arguments ahead of the vote.
"I'm pro-development, pro-young professionals and pro-families. But the development needs to be smart," she said. "With our schools in the crisis they are in today, these large multifamily developments are not paying their full share for the schools."
Craig joined Aldermen Pat Long, William Shea, Ed Osborne and Jim Roy - who comprise what might be called the white hair caucus - in voting against the zoning change.
Alderman Joe Kelly Levasseur voted with the majority to change the zoning.
He noted that if you looked at the tax bill for the average single family house, it also wouldn't cover the $10,000 per-pupil cost, let alone if the household had more than one child.
"I think this is a comparison of apples to oranges," he said.
- - - - - - -
Levasseur would find himself in the extreme minority later in the evening, when he once again called for changes to how the city's Welfare Department operates.
This time he questioned why the welfare office closes every weekday - with no public access - for lunch and then for at least two hours on Wednesdays.
"I don't see why, with a staff of 12 to 13, they have to close at all," he said. "They can stagger lunch breaks, like every other department. The tax department is open all day. There are people looking to access our services. It's another example what of what's going on with this department."
Some other examples that Levasseur has railed against include the fact the most of the agency's budget goes toward staffing, including the commissioner's $113,000 salary, and reports that needy people have been turned away by the agency with little explanation.
Welfare Commissioner Paul Martineau told the aldermen that the office has closed for lunch for years, and that it closed from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday to meet with nonprofit agencies to discuss cases.
Levasseur proposed the department stay open through the lunch hour. He couldn't even get someone to second the motion.

Representatives of a dozen Syrian opposition groups called for a cease-fire in their homeland and the beginning of an internationally mediated dialogue to bring democracy to the country. Meeting in Rome July 25-26, the groups, which included some inspired by Islam, said they are "firmly opposed to any discrimination based on religious confession or ethnicity." The 14 men and three women involved in Syria's pro-democracy movements met under the auspices of the Community of Sant'Egidio, a Rome-based Catholic lay group that promotes dialogue and charity. "While violence is prevailing and on a rampage in our country," the political opponents of Syrian President Bashar Assad felt "it was important to sit together and think about a political solution," said Faiez Sara, a writer and member of the Democratic Forum, who had been imprisoned for his political activities in Syria. He said it was time to stop "the killings perpetrated by the regime or committed by the victims of the regime who have taken up weapons." The opposition leaders signed their "Rome Appeal," calling for a negotiated end to Assad's rule and the beginning of a transition to "a Syria that is democratic, civil and safe for all, without fear and without oppression." In addition to insisting on the retreat of government forces, they asked "our fellow citizens in [opposition] the Free Syrian Army and all those bearing arms, to participate in a political process to establish a peaceful, secure and democratic Syria." Also on July 26, the Catholic bishops of Syria held an abbreviated summer meeting in Aleppo, which had been the scene of fierce fighting. "In Aleppo, the situation is very tense, but right now there are not problems for the Christians. There are fears that the situation could worsen and that the militants could penetrate the Christian quarters, but that has not happened," Melkite Archbishop Jean-Clement Jeanbart of Aleppo said. "If the West wants to help the Syrian people," he said, "support and pressure for dialogue.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The No. 19 ranked MIT men's track and field team received a number of impressive performances despite less than ideal weather during its annual Spring Invitational at the Steinbrenner track on Saturday. Although some athletes were held out in preparation for the upcoming Championship season, the Engineers were able to fare very well in a number of events, including the distance races, pole vault and throws.
Tech displayed great depth in the 800-meter race, as five runners finished in the top nine, led by Patrick Marx's time of 1:53.94. Marx narrowly missed the NCAA Provisional qualifying cut by less than a second. Yermie Cohen ran well, reaching a new personal-best, with a 1:55.08 clip. Dawit Zewdie (1:57.44), Bildl Phipps (1:58.09) and Logan Daum (1:58.34) were also able to break the 2:00 minute mark.
Stephen Serene was the top finisher in the 3000-meter Steeplechase with a time of 10:01.97, over 30 seconds faster than the runner-up.
The Cardinal and Gray was also able to dominate the pole vault competition, with the top three finishers and nine of the 10 best marks. Greg Tao and Cyrus Vafadari each cleared 14-5.25 feet, with Tao taking first place based on attempts. Nathan Peterson followed in third with a vault of 13-11.25 feet.
James Oleinik won the shot put with a season-best toss of 50-3.25 feet, just a few inches shy of the NCAA provisional mark. Anthony McDonald (45-6.50) and Mitchell Kelly (43-3.00) completed the sweep of the top three positions. Kelly also had a solid effort in the discus with a 151-02 foot throw, almost 16 feet better than Oleinik's runner-up mark.
Other event winners for MIT included Vladimir Sobes in the javelin (184-00 feet), Josh Duncavage at 200 meters (22.62 seconds), Matt Falk in the high jump (5-11.25) and Jackson Wirekoh (41-5.00) in the triple jump.
MIT will look to defend its New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) title next weekend for the 10th-straight time. Tech has won 10 of the 11 titles in NEWMAC history, including the past nine in a row. The meet, hosted by Springfield College, begins Saturday, April 24 at 11:00 a.m.

DENVER (AP) — Whoopi Goldberg says she's in love with her marijuana-vaporizing pen.
In her new column for The Denver Post's Cannabist website, the Oscar-winning entertainer writes that her "vape pen" relieves the devastating glaucoma headaches she suffers without overwhelming her with a marijuana high.
Goldberg's debut column appeared Thursday.
She writes that marijuana eases the pressure, pain and stress of glaucoma, and her vaporizing pen allows her to get the right amount in small sips.
Goldberg says she's discreet about using the pen if she's in jurisdictions where medical marijuana is illegal.

I'd like to welcome you to the California School of Forensic Studies (CSFS) at Alliant International University. Ours is an innovative school, focused on preparing students for professional careers in the fields of criminology, criminal justice, and forensics. I hope you will take time to explore our degree programs and contact us with any questions.
As Alliant's youngest school, we are proud to have experienced substantial growth over the past few years, and we continue to grow and change as the field demands. Consequently, we've recently shifted focus at CSFS, moving away from clinical forensic psychology at our core, to emphasize our expertise in criminology and criminal justice. Criminology, sociology and criminal justice have been at the heart of my own career for more than 35-years, and are truly my passion. I am thrilled to see CSFS expand further into these fields.
Because CSFS ensures there is a strong link between theories learned in class, with the practical, real-world application of those theories, graduates of the Applied Criminology program will have a distinct advantage. They will be equipped to start working as officers, agents, or investigators, or in administrative and leadership roles in the systems linked to the fields of criminology and criminal justice. All of our faculty are active contributors in a variety of areas in the field and then bring this field experience directly to our students in the classroom. This is in addition to the wealth of hands-on experience students get through research and internships.
For the next several years as we continue to grow and fulfill our mission, there will be many opportunities for you to pursue your academic and professional interests with us. I am excited for the future of CSFS and invite you to inquire about our programs, research, employment and study abroad opportunities.
Eric Hickey, Ph.D.
Dean, California School of Forensic Studies
About Dean Eric Hickey
Dr. Hickey is the Dean of the California School of Forensic Studies at Alliant International University where he oversees the growth and development of the largest clinical forensics studies program in the United States. At Alliant he currently teaches seminars in profiling psychopaths, sex offenders and sexual predators. Dr. Hickey has taught many courses in criminal personalities, sex crimes and paraphilia, homicide, and psychopathology in several universities and colleges, as well as for jail and prison staff. He supervises theses and dissertations involving forensic and criminal psychology. Dr. Hickey has considerable field experience working with the criminally insane, psychopaths, sex offenders and other habitual criminals. He has also served as an adjunct instructor for the American Prosecutor's Research Institute at the National Advocacy Center in Columbia, South Carolina profiling stalkers and cyber-stalkers.
He publishes books, articles and lectures extensively on the etiology of violence and serial crime. His book, Serial Murderers and Their Victims, 2012, 6th ed., (Thompson-Wadsworth-Cengage Publishers), is used as a teaching tool in universities and by law enforcement in studying the nature of violence, criminal personalities and victim-offender relationships. Another of his books, The Encyclopedia of Murder and Violent Crime, (Sage Publishers), explores the phenomenon of murder and violence through the eyes of some of the world's most noted experts. In 2006 he published Sex Crimes and Paraphilia (Prentice-Hall Publishers), a comprehensive examination of sexual perversions, sex offending and sexual predators. A coauthored book, The Myth of a Psychiatric Crime Wave, (Carolina Academic Press) examines the misperceptions and reality of the mentally ill and mentally disordered as criminals. His current research focuses upon the development of his theory of relational paraphilic attachment (RPA) and sexual predators. He is also writing his first novel, The Crib, a disturbing journey into the minds of psychotics, psychopaths and the criminally insane. His expertise is regularly sought by the media including appearances on CNN, History Channel, NPR, Larry King Live, 20/20, A&E Biography, Good Morning America, CBC, True TV, Discovery and TLC.
He consults with private agencies and testifies as an expert witness in both criminal and civil cases. He is a court qualified expert in paraphilia including pedophilia, child molestation, fetishes; stalking; adult rape and sexual assault; violent criminal behavior including robbery, burglary and homicide (solo and serial).A former consultant to the FBI's UNABOM Task Force, Dr. Hickey currently assists local, state, and federal law enforcement in training and investigations. This includes assisting Peace Officer Service Training (POST) in developing course material and job aids for investigators. He also conducts seminars for agencies involving the profiling and investigating of sex crimes, arson, robbery, homicide, stalking, workplace violence and terrorism as well as workshops for mental health practitioners. Dr. Hickey is a member of an FBI Threat Assessment Regional Evaluation Team that addresses campus violence and potential threats. He is internationally recognized for his research on multiple homicide offenders and has conducted seminars in countries throughout Europe, Asia and North America. He has also trained VIP protection specialists in Israel in profiling stalkers, threat assessment and interventions.

Energy has always been essential for the production of food. Prior to the industrial revolution, the primary energy input for agriculture was the sun; photosynthesis enabled plants to grow, and plants served as food for livestock, which provided fertilizer (manure) and muscle power for farming. However, as a result of the industrialization and consolidation of agriculture, food production has become increasingly dependent on energy derived from fossil fuels.
Agricultural Energy Inputs
Today, industrial agriculture consumes fossil fuels for several purposes:
Fertilizer Production
Industrial farms G use huge quantities of synthetic fertilizers, which require significant energy inputs (primarily natural gas) to be produced. Other fertilizing agents (e.g., potassium and phosphorus) are mined, consuming even more energy.
Water Consumption
Industrial agriculture is incredibly water intensive. The scarce resource is used for crop irrigation, which accounts for 31 percent of all water withdrawals in the US, waste management (i.e., for flushing manure out of industrial livestock facilities) and as drinking water for animals. This overuse of water has implications in the energy sector as well. As described in our Energy-Water Nexus page, pumping, treating and moving such large volumes of water require a great deal of energy.
Farm Equipment
Modern agriculture relies upon machinery that runs on gasoline and diesel fuel (e.g., tractors and combines), and equipment that uses electricity (e.g., lights, pumps, fans, etc.).
Processing, Packaging & Transportation:
Much of the food produced today is highly processed and heavily packaged, which further increases its energy footprint. As a result of consolidation and centralization of production, foods are often transported long distances, requiring additional energy inputs.
Factory Farms and Energy Use
Most meat, eggs and dairy products are now produced on factory farms, huge industrial livestock operations that raise thousands of animals in confined conditions without access to pasture. Since the animals are unable to graze, factory farms require tremendous quantities of feed produced by industrial crop farms using the energy-intensive processes described above. Factory farms are also potential sources of ground and surface water pollution, which ultimately requires municipalities and private landowners to expend additional energy on water treatment.
Some factory farms use methane digesters to generate energy (digesters capture methane released during the decomposition of the huge quantities of manure generated onsite, and then burn the gas to produce electricity). Although this reduces emissions of methane (a potent greenhouse gas), the technology doesn't eliminate solid waste, fails to address other environmental, human health, social and animal welfare problems created by factory farms, and typically requires large subsidies to remain economically viable. Thus, despite being touted as a "green" energy source, methane digesters ultimately serve to subsidize and further entrench the environmentally and socially destructive model of industrial livestock production.
Impact of Energy Policy
Energy policy also affects agriculture. For instance, congressional mandates now require the production of billions of gallons of ethanol, which is primarily—and controversially—derived from corn. Corn grown for ethanol takes land away from food production and, in states where corn is irrigated, uses a significant amount of water.
Toward Energy-Sustainable Agriculture
Given the growing population's food requirements, the world's finite supply of fossil fuels and the adverse environmental impacts of using this nonrenewable resource, the existing relationship between agriculture and energy must be dramatically altered. Among the most obvious solutions is to simply improve the energy efficiency of food production and distribution. This can be accomplished by shifting from energy-intensive industrial agricultural techniques to less intensive methods (e.g., pasture-raised livestock, drip irrigation, non-synthetic fertilizers, no-till crop management, etc.), using more efficient machinery and equipment, reducing food processing and packaging, promoting decentralization of food production and improving the efficiency of food transportation.
Farms can also generate their own clean electricity. While houses, barns and other buildings provide ample roof space for the installation of solar panels, farms with large swaths of land in windy areas are ideal sites for wind turbines. By leasing property for wind power production, these farms can earn an additional source of revenue while continuing to grow crops on surrounding land.
Despite the challenges posed by the energy-intensive nature of agriculture, the prudent use of resources and judicious application of technology has the capacity to significantly improve the long-term sustainability of food production.

Forget what you think you know about Africa: its makers, thinkers and dreamers are journeying to new frontiers. The world's second largest continent and its modern-day innovations are presented at laRinascente during Milano Design Week 2013 as the entire store becomes a world where fantasy and reality meet, colour explodes and technology collides with creativity. This is Afrofuture.
An Africa that's digitized, connected, made accessible. Moleskine projects such as Detour and myDetour contribute to initiatives such as WikiAfrica, which aims to improve Africa's online visibility; Chimurenga Library and the digitization of African magazines; and Borders, which documents migratory routes throughout Africa.
In 2010 myDetour travelled to Dakar with 25 decorated notebooks in tow, stopping at various locations around the city. Contained within a car rapide - a Senegalese urban minibus – the notebooks were also browseable in an interactive flick-through video installation, which used the experimental open source Arduino technology for physical computing. It supported the creation of a new Media Lab, a meeting point and support center for both African and international artists, encouraging the circulation of ideas and creative experimentation.
These projects are made possible through our partnership with lettera27, a non-profit foundation dedicated to improving education and access to knowledge in Africa, and are presented in an interactive installation in a window on Via Santa Radegonda. Push the button to add your splash of colour and watch as the tubes fill with Brilliant Violet, Oxide Green and Magenta, swirling upwards before coming back down again. Then using your smartphone, transport yourself to another world, from paper to pixels.
Thanks to the magic of Augmented Reality technology, you can be transported from the window of laRinascente to Dakar. Scanning one of the photos in the display with the SPAM Magazine app will transport you to an AtWork workshop, a project which grew out of a collection of donated artists' notebooks and explores alternative methods for creating, sharing and participation.
Journey to the future of Africa and celebrate shared connections through this blend of physical and virtual discovery.

Base Template
Base Presentation Template OpenOffice.org OTP File
This is a very, very plain base template - a blank canvas upon which a Fedora design bounty ninja will unleash their creativity.
Some points to note up-front:
- The template uses a light text on a dark background. This is because slide presentations are usually shown on a projector, and having a light-colored background can be overwhelming since it physically sends a lot more light to the viewer than a darker background. Sticking with light text on a dark background rather than vice-versa should make for a more pleasant viewing experience.
- The font Comfortaa should be used for titles. The font Droid Sans should be used for body text.
- What counts as a 'title', and what counts as 'body text' is sometimes confusing. The presentation title and slide titles are definitely titles, and bullet points are definitely body text. Beyond that is up to you.
- The slide design should be consistent with the Fedora brand. We do have specific colors and a general style we try to align to. Our current draft guidelines include the full swatch and should give you a good overview of the style we tend to follow. You may also want to refer to our logo usage guidelines.
- The slide design should *not* use any artwork from a particular Fedora release. We'd like a template for which usage can span multiple releases, and tying the template to a specific Fedora release will mean it will be usable for at most 6 months before it is out-of-date.
Some points slide-by-slide:
Title Slide
- This slide is left up on-screen before the speaker starts, so it may be visible for a while.
- There's room for both a presentation title and subtitle
- The presenter's name is given a space, and beneath there are fields for their job title / affiliation / background
- In the lower left there is a spot for the presenter to indicate the license of their slides
Topic Overview
- Today's topics is a bulleted list of all the topics covered in the presentation - like a table of contents
Topic Splash
- Before each topic in the presentation is covered, there's a slide to indicate the title of the topic that is about to start, centered and in a large size font.
Topic Details
- This slide represents the meat of a topic in the presentation.
- These slides might have pictures, bullet points, flat text descriptions, diagrams - pretty much anything.
- This slide serves as a quick run-down of all topics covered to summarize the speaker's points.
Questions Slide
- This slide is left up on-screen while the speaker handles questions, so it will be up for a while.
- The speaker's contact information is displayed in the lower left.
- The slide license details are displayed again in the lower left.
Please feel free to be as creative as you'd like with these slides. Custom illustrations, innovative layouts - let your creativity go wild!
Here's some inspiration found from popular slide shows on http://slideshare.net :
Other Research
You'll note that the currently-listed Fedora slide templates have an assortment of issues. Many are specific to a particular version of Fedora, thus many use out-dated graphics. A few also actually don't comply with the Fedora logo usage guidelines. Others simply don't match the Fedora branding with their color choices, or don't even tie in the Fedora branding at all.
You may want to reach out to Fedora ambassadors and other folks in the Fedora community to get their feedback on the templates they use as inspiration for how to make your template super-awesome.

PASCO, Wash. — The chair of the U.S. House of Representatives Natural Resources Committee wants to ensure the Columbia River Treaty remains focused on generating power and managing flood control, and not effects on the ecosystem.
The United States and Canada are reassessing the treaty, created in 1964. Beginning in 2014, either party can terminate the treaty with 10 year's notice. The U.S. entity, comprised of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Bonneville Power Administration, will submit a final recommendation to the U.S. Department of State Dec. 13, advising modernizing the agreement.
Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., chairman of the committee, said power generation and flood control should remain the basis for reauthorization of the treaty. He expressed concern about an overemphasis on ecosystems and the environment to the treaty in draft documents.
Hastings hopes to keep the treaty small and simple. Negotiations with Canada will be complex enough without injecting "vaguely worded and contentious items," he said, many of which are already being addressed appropriately through domestic processes.
Brig. Gen. John Kem, commander of the Corps Northwestern Division in Portland, Ore., said ecosystem interests are not being emphasized over or detracting from any other interests.
"We have it in the draft to incorporate context of how we actually conduct coordinated operations today," he said.
The U.S. already coordinates with Canada for the storage and release of water for flood control, hydropower generation and ecosystem functionality.
"It makes sense from my view to formalize that and stop doing it on an annual, less predictable basis, under a process that leads to significant transactions costs," Kem said.
Greg Haller, conservation director for the Pacific Rivers Council, supports inclusion of ecosystem management in the treaty. He would like to see an agency like NOAA Fisheries, U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife or the Environmental Protection Agency oversee the ecosystem aspect, noting they would better represent needs with their expertise.
"We think there are mutual benefits to be had from modernizing flood risk management to provide more flows safely," he said. "If we have more flexibility with fuller reservoirs to provide summer flows, that also enhances recreation, system capacity for hydropower production and I think other uses would benefit as well."
Ron Reimann, president of the Columbia-Snake River Irrigators Association and a Port of Pasco commissioner, would like the treaty to remain simple and treat both countries equally.
"I've lost a lot of faith in us doing intelligent and commonsense things," he said. "It seems like the process has become so over-regulated."
Stevens County Commissioner Wes McCart is concerned about what addressing ecosystem functions would do to a new treaty, even in a minor role. He noted how the National Environmental Policy Act process originated as a simple document, and has grown into a long, complicated process to complete.
McCart worries about leaving ecosystem management up to the state department.
"My fear is that that will expand over time and encompass all of our local economies, all of our lives, all of our ability to irrigate land," he said. "I don't think we see where the ramifications of that can go."
Hastings said the recommendation made by the U.S. entity begins a 10-year process to finalize changes. Time will tell whether his concerns will impact the final result, he said.
"Fifty years of having a treaty in place is a pretty good template that something is working and we shouldn't be changing that around," Hastings said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Two New York City police officers overcome by smoke while responding to a suspicious fire on Coney Island remain hospitalized in critical condition.
Officers Rosa Rodriguez and Dennis Guerra were found unconscious and unresponsive Sunday afternoon in the hallway on the 13th floor of a residential building.
The 36-year-old Rodriguez is in Weill Cornell Medical Center in Manhattan. The 38-year-old Guerra was taken to Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx.
Police Commissioner William Bratton says both officers suffered carbon monoxide poisoning and the effects of smoke inhalation.
Police say a suspect is in custody, but no charges were immediately filed.
No other information on the suspect or how the fire started was immediately available.
Police and fire officials say the fire has been deemed suspicious.
