Teen dies sledding on closed ski slope
PINKHAM NOTCH - An 18-year-old Massachusetts man died while sledding on Wildcat Mountain while the ski slopes were closed, according to a New Hampshire Fish and Game Department release.
Joseph Murad, 18, of Hanson, Mass., was found dead by a search party after disappearing during a midnight sledding excursion on the slopes of Wildcat Mountain in Pinkham Notch, the release said.
"The ski slopes of Wildcat Mountain were closed during the time that Mr. Murad's party was on the mountain," the release said. "In addition, these trails are not open to sledding."
The release said Murad and two friends hiked to the mountain's summit Thursday night intending to ride sleds to the bottom. Authorities were called about 3:30 a.m. Friday when his friends were not able to find him, the release said.
Murad's body was found about 8 a.m. and it appears as though injuries he suffered during a crash "were major contributing factors in (Murad's) death," the release said.
City suspends rule on odd/even parking
MANCHESTER - The city's odd/even winter parking regulations are being waived from 1 a.m. Sunday through 6 a.m. Wednesday, according to Deputy Public Works Director Tim Clougherty.
That means drivers don't have to worry about the correlation between the day and the address number - odd-numbered side on odd days and even-numbered on even days - until Wednesday morning. After 6 a.m. Wednesday, vehicles must be parked on the odd-numbered side of the street.

Frisco, Colorado: Historical Mountain Town near World-Class Skiing
Located 70 miles west of Denver and in the northern-central part of Colorado, Frisco is a small mining town that was incorporated in 1880. The little town is nicknamed "Main Street of the Rockies" for its proximity to the mountains and its quaint charm.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are ending mixed on Wall Street as investors wait for more earnings reports to come in. Apple dropped on concern that demand for the iPhone 5 is waning.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 19 points at 13,507 Monday. It fell as much as 29 points at the start of the day.
The Standard & Poor's 500 lost a point to end at 1,470. The Nasdaq composite index fell eight points to 3,117.
The S&P and Nasdaq were dragged down by Apple, the biggest component of both indexes. Apple fell 4 percent following a report that the company has cut its orders for iPhone 5 components due to weak demand.
Falling stocks outnumbered rising ones on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was light at 2.9 billion shares.

A storyteller has set up a web page in a bid to unlock the secrets of the hidden Peak District.
Simon Unsworth has launched a page called 'The Hidden Magic of the Peak, on Facebook.
The page contains details of the many stone circles, burial mounds, caves, standing stones and mystical sites that he has encountered in the Peak District over the years.
However he claims the page won't just be a collection of dry historical facts. Simon, who has also been leading Nottingham's successful Ghost Walk for more than 20 years, is including lots of information about the folklore and stories of the area, as well as walks to get visitors to the sites, photographs, video and pub recommendations.
He said: "When I first started walking in the Peak District, the first places I headed to were those really ancient sites that always seemed to me to have a real air of magic and mystery to them.
"I soon realised that there were a great deal of these kinds of places in the Peak and many of them were not far off the beaten track, but few people seemed to know about them.
"Many people may be aware of the bigger stone circles of Arbor Low and the Nine Ladies, but far fewer know about Rowtor Rocks, Doll Tor and Nine Stones Close, all of which are within a mile or two of their better–known neighbours."
Simon, of Long Eaton, sayidthe Facebook site is not just about places in the Peak, but about the people and stories of the Peak too.
"In common with a lot of places, the Peak District has lost or forgotten a lot of its folklore and stories, but there's still so much there to be rediscovered," he said.
"For example we have 'T'Owd' Man of Bonsall and Wirksworth, or the Arthurian connections with Lud's Church in the Staffordshire Peak.
"Looking at place names can reveal an awful lot too. We get the name 'Hob' appearing in a lot of places, such as 'Hobs Hurst House' or 'Hob Hall' and 'Hob Hill' over Wirksworth.
"The word 'Hob' refers to the presence of a Hobgoblin or 'Bogeyman', which is also referred to in the name 'Boggart's Inn Farm', also above Wirksworth – so it would seem that, in the past, Wirksworth was something of a popular place for Hobgoblins and their ilk."
View the site by visiting www.facebook.com/hiddenmagicofthepeak
It is open for followers to post their own discoveries from around the Peak too and, as the site grows, Simon hopes to be able to lead walks around some of the places he has written about later this year.

Read comments on this car
Last updated Sep 25, 2010
(Since this is a model car, I will only accept challenges from other models, toys, and "Non-Car" cars!)
The 1970-73 Camaro is one of my all-time favorite car designs, and easily the best looking car ever to carry the Camaro name, at least to me. This is one incredibly rare model that I had wanted to add to my collection for a long time. The opportunity came up about a decade ago when I answered an ad in the local "Penny Pincher" from a guy who was getting out of the hobby and wanted to sell roughly 120 models - semi-built, started, just opened, or unopened in the plastic wrap. He also included various paints, tools, and modeling supplies. All of this for $350 o.b.o. I was the first response he'd had after the ad had been runningfor nearly three months, so he jumped at my lowball offer of $250 cash. This AMT 1970 Camaro SS396 was included in the lot. Since this is such a rare model (It was the only time a 2nd-generation Camaro was kitted with a standard front end, and also the only time with a vinyl top molded in) I figured this would be my only opportunity to build one! It was started, and the body, chassis, and interior were already painted... badly! I dunked the whole lot in my stripping bath for a couple of days and it all came out like new. I decided to build it as a stock appearing car, so I went with the factory optional wheel covers and RWL tires. It was finished in triple black for a "sporty-but-mean" look.
AMT 1970 Chevrolet Camaro SS396 Annual Kit
SS396 Package: 396 (402 c.i.d.) Engine, Limited Slip Differential, Competition Suspension, SS-specific badging
Full Wheel Covers
G70-14 Raised White Letter Tires
Vinyl Top
4-Speed Manual Transmission
AM/FM Radio
I added Bare Metal Foil to all exterior, and some interior, plated trim. Inside, I added the turn signal lever, headlight dimmer switch, full carpeting, sun visors, dome light, rear view mirror, and seat belts. Under the hood I added the spark plug wires, battery cables, and heater hoses.
(For me, this was a pretty basic build!)

Speed Goat Hunting Season is Here – AKA Antelope Season
In case you were unaware, this weekend is the opening of antelope season. If you're wondering how I know this, it is because my husband has a severe obsession with hunting, so I am forced to know these once arbitrary dates. Since I love him, I get to enjoy this opening weekend in beautiful Wisdom, Montana hunting these speed goats.
Last year was my first year hunting antelope. I have to admit, I did enjoy it. It was way more fun than hunting for deer and elk west of Missoula. Antelope hunting is done on nice rolling hills before the snow flies. Deer and elk hunting are done trudging through a foot of snow up and down mountains. With antelope hunting, we can hold a quiet conversation, and even see an antelope coming from a mile away. With deer and elk hunting you can't talk, you can't walk too loud and you never know where one is. It could jump out of the trees and attack you at any moment, hooves flailing wildly in the air, flat teeth gnashing and antlers cutting through the air like knives. I really don't know why we put our lives at risk like that?
The best part of my antelope hunting experience last year was the meat. It was the best game meat I have eaten. The only bad part was that there wasn't that much of it. Antelope aren't very big animals, so we saved the few steaks we had for special occasions, like our anniversary or when family came to dinner.
If you are looking for something fun to hunt, then you should consider antelope. It's the most fun I've had hunting, hands down.
Joy Larson is a mother of four boys, graduate of The University of Montana, animal lover and writer.

Police say accused bank robber 'wrapped himself up in a bow for us'By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
December 06. 2012 1:55AM
LONDONDERRY - A Nashua man is being held on $50,000 cash bail after police said he robbed Citizens Bank in Londonderry, then stopped for a cocktail at a nearby Mexican restaurant.
Hudson police arrested Jason Enwright, 38, Tuesday about an hour after the 4 p.m. bank robbery.
"He apparently ran out of gas after leaving the bank, so he went into the restaurant to ask people for a ride," Londonderry Police Lt. Kevin Cavallaro said. "Then, he continued to drink."
Police said no weapon was shown during the robbery, though they say one was "implied." The robber left the bank in a white SUV with around $1,500 in cash after passing the teller a note demanding money.
Londonderry and Derry police responded, along with the State Police K-9 Unit. About an hour later, a restaurant employee at Caf� Teresa - about two miles from the bank near the Hudson town line - called police after a scruffy and possibly intoxicated man entered the lounge and began approaching other customers.
Enwright was seen by several witnesses carrying "wads of cash" and his car appeared to have sustained heavy damage in the front end area, Cavallaro said. He said he'd hit a deer earlier that afternoon.
Police located Enwright's damaged white Chevy Suburban in the parking lot behind the restaurant; it matched the description of the SUV given by witnesses of the bank robbery, said Cavallaro.
"This all seems so hard to believe. He's definitely not criminal of the year," Cavallaro said. "He pretty much wrapped himself up in a bow for us."
Enwright faces charges of robbery, theft, resisting arrest, civil assault and two counts of criminal threatening after he reportedly argued with officers attempting to arrest him. They said he spit at and threatened three police officers at Parkland Medical Center later that evening.
According to court documents, Enwright has had multiple run-ins with the law over the years, including previous arrests on charges of assault, receiving stolen property, larceny and theft by deception.
Bail was set at $50,000 cash, with his bench warrant bail set at $500 cash. Enwright is scheduled to appear in 9th Circuit Court, Merrimack District Division, Dec. 13.

Swearing In the Enemy
One of the suspected Boston bombers was a naturalized citizen, and the other was on his way. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, herself a new citizen, asks how we might change the process of becoming an American to exclude those who hate America.
On April 25, 2013, I took the oath to become a citizen of the United States. Perhaps only those who have taken this oath can fully understand how I felt that afternoon in Boston. I felt a strong sense of belonging, and tears welled up in my eyes more than a few times during the hourlong ceremony.
I have no reason to doubt that the 1,834 other men and women who took the oath with me also felt that special sense of homecoming. On that sunny afternoon, it seemed unreal that just 10 days earlier, another new citizen of this country...

What's the lowest paying job you've ever had?
Michael Osario: "Fifty bucks a week, going back to 1950. I was a projectionist in a movie theater. That would be the equivalent of about $700 a week by today's standards."
Tia Brown: "A local grocery store hired me with experience as a cashier and started me out at $6/hour. Then they cut my pay 50 cents without any explanation."
Greg Allen: "Ooooh. The first job? What was minimum wage back in 1970? $3/hour? [It was actually $1.60– editor.] I was a busboy in a restaurant back then. It was gas money for my dirt bike."

The nation of Bhutan – the self-proclaimed "Land of Happiness" – is arguably one of the few remaining places in the world uncorrupted by modern commercialization. But now, the small country in Southeast Asia could be in danger of losing parts of its authenticity and culture that made it so "happy" in the first place.
In 2005, Bhutan's government instituted what it calls a "Gross National Happiness" policy, which is intended to "ensure that progress does not affect conservation and social harmony."
The utter absurdity of a law mandating happiness does not warrant further explanation. But the irony is that it's starting to look like the entire "happiness" effort was actually driven by commercialism itself. The country has launched a new tourism campaign, and new websites – such as TravelBhutan.com – are starting to dot the Internet landscape.
In another ironic twist, part of Bhutan's tourism push involves what the government calls a "Noah's Ark of wildlife" thriving in the country's newest national park – including the endangered snow leopard, whose population in the wild falls in the range of 4,500 to 7,500 individuals, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
WWF says a recent study showed the leopards are "thriving" in the area, which is positive news for conservation. But what happens when Bhutan succumbs to the tourism trap? What will happen to the country's culture, its people and conservation efforts?
The answer may lie in yet another irony: Bhutan's definition of "happiness" is the assurance that "progress does not affect conservation and social harmony." But aren't conservation and social harmony considered "progress"?
It may be time for Bhutan to assess what really makes its people happy.

NextIO teams with Fusion-io for 5TB flash SAN
1.7 million IOPS box on the way too
NextIO has inked a deal with Fusion-io to produce a 5TB flash SAN to share flash storage between connected servers.
NextIO started out as a producer of switches that virtualise PCIE connections and represent a bunch of servers with access to Fibre Channel, Ethernet, InfinBand etc through a single switched PCIe box. It then produced a shared flash array using a 3U chassis and Texas Memory Systems SLC (Single-level cell) RamSan 10 and 20 PCIe-connected flash cards. This was last November.
Now it's done the same with Fusion-io to create a 5Tb Box on the one hand and 1.7 million IOPS box on the other. NextIO has announced a vSTOR S100 series of products. These come in two varieties, an E class and an S class - a bit like Mercedes cars, each with five models.
The E-class models are the E09, E18, E40, E45 and E50, with the numbers being the capacity in terabytes, such that 09 equals 900GB and 18 means 1.8TB, and so on through 4TB, 4.5TB and 5TB. The S class models are S13, S26, S58, S64 and S70 with the S13 offering 1.3TB and the S70 topping out at 7TB.
The company doesn't say but it looks as if the S100-E50 is the 5TB Fusion-io product whilst the S100-E40 - meaning 4TB maximum capacity, is the 1.7 million IOPS speedster.
It's a simple assumption that that the E class use Fusion-io PCIE flash cards while the S-class use Texas Memory Systems PCIe flash. NextIO doesn't say, and the two suppliers' flash could appear in both clases of products, possibly mixed and matched in one product.
The product will compete with the PCIe-connected version of Violin Memory's 1010 Memory Appliance. Looking at the sequential read and write rates something odd happens as the capacity of a class increases. First it goes up but then it goes down.
The E class models are as follows, with the sequential read rate numbers in brackets: E09 (2.2GB/sec), E18 (4.4GB/sec), E40 (5.5GB/sec), E45 (4.4GB/sec) and E50 (3.3GB/sec). Our guess is that the higher capacity models, with slower read rates than lower capacity models, use two-bit multi-level cell (MLC) flash whereas the uses use the faster single-level cell (SLC) flash.
This logic would explain why the number of supported hosts exhibits the same pattern: E09 (1-2), E18 (1-4), E40 (1-5), E45 (1-4) and E50 (1-3). The slower MLC models simply can't support as many attached servers.
The same pattern is seen with the S class models.
The flash cards in the vSTOR can be dynamically reallocated between servers by NextIO's vConnect PCIe switching technology. NextIO says its approach of using PCIe-format flash cards prevents flash card supplier lock-in. It also says that its flash SAN (our term; NextIO is not using it) can prevent over-provisioning of servers and over-provisioning of smaller flash tier 0 storage in storage arrays.
Fusion-io used to have ioSAN technology, based on a vanilla server fitted with a set of ioDrive or ioDuo cards and connected over Ethernet or some other link to a group of servers. With NextIO now OEM'ing Fusion's cards to produce a near-enough equivalent product the ioSAN seems dead in the water and unlikely to ever see the light of day.
We can imagine that future versions of the product will double capacity and perhaps go further, with three-bit MLC chips decreasing the cost per terabyte quite substantially.
NextIO reckons ideal application areas for the vSTOR products are Database, Microsoft Exchange, High Performance Computing, game hosting and video on demand. The only pricing info that we have is that the entry-level vSTOR with TMS flash starts at $19,500. This might be the E09, which with 900GB of capacity is a perfect match for two 450GB RamSan 20 cards.
NextIO wasn't available to answer questions when we prepared this story. ®

MADRID (AP) — The board of Spanish energy giant Repsol on Wednesday rejected a $5 billion offer of compensation from Argentina for the company's YPF unit that the country seized last year.
Repsol SA said in a statement that the offer isn't good enough for what it lost. Argentina expropriated YPF after accusing the Spanish company of bleeding YPF dry and forcing Argentina to import record amounts of energy when it failed to invest in its operations in the South American country.
Repsol's board said, however, that it was encouraged that Argentina is interested in a negotiated solution to the dispute.
The deal would have given Repsol a 47 percent stake in a joint venture involving the vast nonconventional oil and gas reserves in the Vaca Muerta area of Patagonia. YPF would have held 51 percent and Mexico's Pemex would have gotten 2 percent.
In a statement released later on Wednesday, YPF denied that an official offer by Argentina's government had been made and said that talks have been held between the companies.
"YPF informs that it is not true that there was an offer by the Argentine government over the nationalization of the company," the statement said.
"It is true that there were conversations between YPF representatives and Repsol shareholders with the intention on bringing the two parts together towards an agreement."
YPF also praised, "Repsol's attitude of being open to dialogue to reach a negotiated solution that is satisfactory to the interests of both companies."
Repsol has sued in Spain, Argentina and at the World Bank's International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes, seeking more than $10 billion in compensation for the controlling stake in YPF that President Cristina Fernandez seized in May 2012.
Vaca Muerta" or "Dead Cow" reserve that has given Argentina the world's third-largest shale potential behind the U.S. and China.
YPF needs billions of dollars to go after the unconventional oil and natural gas, but major oil companies have held back from investing. Repsol's threat to sue any company that steps forward is one major disincentive; another has been Argentina's elaborate system of keeping consumer energy prices far below international market rates.
Associated Press writer Debora Rey in Buenos Aires, Argentina contributed to this report.

IT Management Slideshow: IT Management: Tips for Energizing Your Teams
The negative energy of a single team member can impact your entire organization. In the book "Fully Charged: How Great Leaders Boost Their Organization's Energy and Ignite High Performance" (Harvard Business Review Press/Available now), authors Heike Bruch and Bernd Vogel contend that CIOs and other top executives must constantly monitor their department's energy level. One problem: Far too many senior managers invest in motivating the individual, rather than the whole group. Creating a lasting culture of energy requires constant watch for trouble signs and reinforcement of energy-sparking strategies, the authors say. Uncertainty within the ranks, for example, must be recognized and addressed with a sincere effort toward transparency. Bruch, a professor of leadership at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland, is founder and research director of the Organizational Energy Program. Vogel is assistant professor of leadership and organizational behavior at the Henley Business School at the University of Reading in the U.K.

As the Evans family made their way to Fenway Park on Saturday, they passed a row of police motorcycles, part of a strong police presence around the stadium. Catching the wide-eyed stares of 6-year-old twins Shane and Shannon, one officer asked if they wanted to sit on his bike. Their eyes grew wider still.
Looking on, Steve Evans let a tired smile cross his face. Five days had passed in a jagged blur, a haze of shock and grief and finally, late Friday, a sweet measure of relief with the capture of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect. And renewed hope that life, and a shaken city, would in time find their way back.
With a day of baseball beckoning, that faith seemed freed from doubt, fans said. For the first time since the Marathon bombings that left three dead and more than 170 injured, the Red Sox were home, and home felt a bit more familiar. The Sox game Friday night had been canceled because of the search for 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a manhunt that put the Boston area under siege.
"Just forget," said Evans, 44, smiling at his children as the officer hoisted them onto the seat. "Forget about the madness for a while."
Across the ballpark, that search for comfort and escape mixed with a weary resolve. Meeting outside the game, families and friends held their hugs a bit longer, and shared tired looks. Fan after fan thanked the police patrolling the area, and some offered tickets in gratitude. When one group of police drove away, the crowd burst into cheers.
Beer flowed, but long draughts ended in sighs. Everything felt subdued, and a step slower.
"It's the first step in a long healing process," said Owen O'Neill of Mansfield.
Even the most loyal fans admitted they had barely thought about the Red Sox in recent days, but said they felt a strong tug from Fenway. After days of manhunts and lockdowns, they wanted to reclaim a part of their normal lives, many said, and be part of something bigger than themselves.
"This is a place where people come together," said Robin Montvilo, 60. "It's a place where people belong."
Amid lingering grief, that solidarity and collective resolve was on full display. Outside the park, fans snatched up "Believe in Boston" banners and "Boston Strong" signs, while volunteers collected money for The One Fund, the central charity for victims of the bombing.
A day after the capture of the second bombing suspect, the game felt like a new beginning, and some fans spoke of a burden lifted.
"Everyone's very relieved," said Rita Boudreau, young grandchildren in tow. "It's a happy day."
Many fans went out of their way to thank law enforcement personnel, who were out in force for the game. On his way into the park, Walter Tom asked a group of military and police officers if his son, Nathan, could be in a picture with them. They were happy to oblige.
"It's going to be a long recovery," Tom said. "But we're going to heal."
For others, emotions were still raw. Nani McDonnell of Lexington fought back tears as she recalled the past few days, and how it felt to be at Fenway. She had run the Marathon in past years, and the shock of the attack hadn't lifted.
"It's all really close for us," she said, as the Fenway organ played "Let the Sun Shine In."
Heather Hathaway handed out water at the Marathon on Monday, just past the finish line. During the Friday lockdown, she stayed inside all day, watching hour after hour of news coverage. As soon as police captured the second suspect, she knew she was Fenway-bound.
"That's why I'm here," she said, wearing a Marathon volunteer jacket. "Boston strong."
For many fans, how the Red Sox fared was secondary.
"I'm more excited for the 'Star-Spangled Banner' than I am for the game," O'Neill said. "It's going to be magical. The whole city's going to rise to the occasion."
That proved undeniably true. In a moving pregame ceremony, the fans sang the national anthem together, their voices rising as one. They sang softly at first. But as the moments passed, the sound grew stronger.
As they sang, one broad-shouldered man in a Dustin Pedroia jersey looked to the sky, while his son looked up at him. A middle-aged woman, overcome by the moment, lowered her head, her hair flowing down like a weeping willow.
Before the anthem, fans stood and cheered as a video montage, set to the song "Hallelujah," showed a series of vivid images from recent days, from the scene at the bombings to the capture in Watertown.
The ceremony paid tribute to Marathon volunteers, who lined the outfield, and police officers, who received wave after wave of applause. Matt Patterson, an off-duty firefighter from Lynn who rushed to the aid of a young boy, and Steven Byrne, who was injured in the blast, threw out the first pitch, as did Marathon legends Dick and Rick Hoyt.
And when David Ortiz, returning to the field from an injury, took the field to address the crowd, the fans roared in approval. When he declared defiantly that this "is our [expletive] city, and nobody is going to dictate our freedom," they roared all the more.
The Federal Communications Commission said in a tweet it forgave Ortiz for letting the expletive fly, noting that the slugger "spoke from the heart at today's Red Sox game."

US cruises past Tunisia in Olympic hoops
LONDON (AP) — Halftime ended. Showtime began.
The U.S. men's Olympic basketball team needed a while but eventually put on the show fans came to see, beating Tunisia 110-63 on Tuesday night.
Finally pulling away when coach Mike Krzyzewski started the reserves to open the second half, the Americans had six players in double figures and improved to 2-0 in the tournament.
Krzyzewski insists he planned to start the second unit even before a lackluster first half, and said he there was nothing bad about the Americans' performance.
"It's not going to a perfect thing, you know?" he said. "But overall tonight was good. I mean, come on, it was 110-63."
True, it was a 47-point blowout, but the lead was just 13 at the half and he sure didn't look pleased as he walked quickly to the locker room. But if he didn't see anything wrong, the players sure did — though they weren't concerned.
"We told him, don't get worried," Carmelo Anthony said. "We're all right."
They sure were.
Anthony, Deron Williams, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love and Andre Iguodala opened the third quarter with a 21-3 run, turning a surprisingly close 13-point lead into a 67-36 bulge before any of the more celebrated starters finally got to play in the second half.
"That was a great lift, man. That's the best thing about this team, there's no drop off," said Kevin Durant. "We've got All-Stars off the bench. Those guys did great job for us."
Anthony and Love scored 16 points apiece for the Americans, who gave the fans the dunk show they expected once the game was in hand. Durant had 13 and rookie Anthony Davis dunked his way to 12.
But they had to work hard to make this one look easy.
The game against the Olympic newcomers wasn't expected to be close for more than a few minutes. The daily preview in the press center said it "could prove to be one of the most lopsided matchups of London 2012."
The Americans maybe expected this would simply be like a practice — they even decided to cancel Wednesday's workout some 11 hours earlier.
Yet they found themselves in a five-point game late in the first half, launching 3-pointers when they couldn't be stopped inside.
The second unit simply appeared to compete much harder, with Williams even playing one defensive possession with one shoe after the other fell off. Love briefly had to come out after banging knees, but was able to return later.
"It's a different game to get ready for and I thought as a team overall we were ready, but it took like our bench to get us going defensively," Krzyzewski said.
Makram Ben Romdhane scored 22 for Tunisia, the African champion playing in just its second Olympic game. A wire-to-wire loser Sunday against Nigeria, they'll be able to tell their kids their first Olympic lead came against the powerful Americans.
"They could have absolutely have taken us to the cleaners but Coach K's discipline made sure that didn't happen," Tunisia coach Adel Tlatli said through an interpreter.
The Americans had played nothing but top-level opposition of late, beating Argentina and Spain in their final two exhibition games before opening with a 98-71 victory over France. They played like they expected a little breather so they could concern themselves mostly with adjusting to the Olympic basketball arena and the international officiating that had them so perplexed in the first half Sunday.
But nobody told the Tunisians they were supposed to go down easily.
They began fearlessly, with Ben Romdhane driving all the way for a dunk — the type of athletic plays that are usually made by the Americans, not against them — to take an 8-4 lead. Tunisia still led by three with 2:39 left in the period before the U.S. second unit ran off the final nine points for a 21-15 advantage.
"It's a dream for us to see these kinds of players, but now we play with them," Ben Romdhane said.
Tunisia tried to outwork their more talented opponents, hustling for loose balls to set up second shots that usually missed.
The Americans missed all eight 3-pointers in the first, even worse than their 0-for-6 start Sunday, before Anthony nailed one to open the second quarter. Westbrook followed with a jumper for a 26-15 lead, and the expected U.S. blowout seemed to be under way.
Instead, Marouan Kechrid made consecutive 3-pointers a couple of minutes later that brought Tunisia within six points, and he made another one with about 3 minutes left, pumping his fist back toward his bench after cutting the U.S. lead to 35-30.
Only then did the Americans finally get control of the game, rattling off 11 straight points, with James' behind-the-back pass to Durant for a dunk making it 46-30. The Americans led 46-33 at the half.
"We knew that they were going to come out and play hard," Durant said. "We missed some shots early on and we gave up some easy baskets, but we came back and started fighting a little harder."
The teams met in the 2010 world championship in a similar game. The U.S. won 92-57, pulling away after leading by just six at halftime and holding the Tunisians to 27.8 percent shooting for the game.
The Americans were 17 of 22 (77 percent) on 2-pointers in the first half, but missed 10 of their 12 3-point shots. They didn't need to worry about 3s much in the second half — though those could become a problem against better competition — because they got dunks whenever they wanted.
Westbrook scored 11 for the U.S., which plays Nigeria on Thursday.

Hey ARM!
How much is your compiler?
ARM has launched an online forum it hopes will encourage device manufacturers, component suppliers and software developers to co-operate on the development of devices based on its chippery and the Android OS. The prosaically titled Solution Centre for Android provides a way of contacting and picking the brains of more than 35 …
How much is your compiler?
The one I was using with a nice little embedded ARM comms box was as cheap as you can get. Might work with Android too, given that both my comms box and Android are Linux, aren't they?
GCC 3 and a bit is what I'm referrring too, although GCC 4 and a bit is out too now (but I'm not sure if the embedded world has adopted GCC 4 widely yet?).
Cost of GCC and an IDE of choice?
What was your point, James47, I couldn't quite work it out?
ARM's RVCT compiler produces far better code than GCC. It has much better dead code stripping and inlining, it can handle long jumps better (no trampoline sections), is much smarter about Thumb interworking, it can actually use the VFP, and generally generates code that is both faster and smaller. Its only real flaw is the license manager that slows down your compiles (do you hear me ARM? Per-process license is a stupid, stupid idea).
It is very expensive.
Their RVDS debugger, on the other hand, is a steaming pile of shit.
If you're a handset manufacturer shipping millions of units wanting to get every last ounce of utilisation out of a given size of flash and a given CPU, surely a few thousand pounds for a decent compiler is a worthwhile investment? Or are we looking at more than that?
If on the other hand you're like me just using ARM as a comms compute engine for low volume stuff in COTS boxes, it hardly matters whether GCC or RVCT is better, so long as the one you pick is Good Enough. Which GCC 3 has been for me so far, and GCC 4 is allegedly better but I'm not moving to it till I've seen other folks using it for similar things.

Bedford home invasion suspect arraigned on Mass. chargesBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
April 23. 2013 11:35AM
SALEM, Mass. – Prosecutors say they will work with New Hampshire authorities to expedite the case against a man who will be charged with the attempted murder of a Bedford, N.H., anesthesiologist and his wife.
Charles Normil, 32, had his bail maintained at $250,000 cash following arraignment in Essex County Superior Court on Tuesday morning.
Normil is wanted for the Nov. 24 break-in at the home of Dr. Eduardo W. Quesada, and Sonia, who has since died.
The couple endured a brutal attack as they entered their home about 10 p.m. Normil allegedly stabbed Dr. Quesada several times in the head with a screwdriver, and sexually assaulted Sonia Quesada repeatedly. The attacked caused her to lose sight in her left eye.
Tuesday's hearing was for charges Normil faces in Methuen, Mass. where he allegedly broke into an apartment building on Dec. 14.
Normil pleaded not guilty to charges of home invasion, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and larceny of property worth more than $250. He was indicted on Feb. 21 in Essex County.
Few details have been made public about the New Hampshire home invasion, including the identity of a second suspect in federal custody.
Assistant District Attorney Camelio asked Judge John Lu that Normil for an April 2014 trial date so that they could coordinate with New Hampshire prosecutors on their pending case.
"He also faces similar charges in the state of New Hampshire," Camelio said. "We are going to cooperate with them to make these cases move as quickly as possible."
Normil is facing a fugitive from justice charge in the New Hampshire case until he can be returned to a courtroom in the Granite State to be formally arraigned.
The Hillsborough County Attorney's Office expects to charge Normil with two counts of attempted murder, first-degree assault and single counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault, falsifying physical evidence and burglary.

GPS leads police to truck; vehicle breaks lead to arrest
August 21. 2014 8:27PM
MERRIMACK - Thanks to a GPS device, a truck stolen in Litchfield was recovered quickly in Merrimack and a man found with the truck was arrested.
Police said Litchfield police contacted them Saturday at 10 a.m., saying a GPS system showed that a truck stolen earlier that morning in Litchfield was at 7 Meetinghouse Road in Merrimack.When police arrived, they found Benjamin Sherman, 23, who has no fixed address, standing near the truck, which had both doors open. After a brief investigation, Sherman was arrested and charged with felony receiving stolen property. Bail was set at $5,000 cash.Police said because of a number of recent area thefts from motor vehicles, the truck theft is still under investigation; further charges are possible for Sherman.
That is also the case with a woman arrested Sunday, police said.Police executed a search warrant at 1:48 a.m. at the 25 Fox Meadow Lane residence of Kristen Beebe, 25.
Police said their investigation into thefts from vehicles determined that Beebe allegedly had pawned a number of the stolen items.When executing the warrant, police said Beebe was found in possession of a large quantity of heroin and several items related to the theft investigation.
Police said Beebe physically resisted being taken into custody and had to be restrained.She was charged with possession of a narcotic, possession of a narcotic with intent to distribute, receiving stolen property and two counts of resisting arrest. Bail was set at $25,000 cash.

3rd Round pick - and the highest draft pick to not yet sign - Austin Wates just might be about to start his professional career.
Just landed in Houston! Let's pray for a productive next 12 hours!

I'm hoping this happened. Remember Astros, it's all about signing and developing. If the kid want $750,000, give it to him. It's pocket change to Drayton. Just remember, you gave $4.5 million to Pedro Feliz.
Oh, and while you're at it, sign Jacoby Jones and Adam Plutko and a few more down the line. Watched video today on that 25-rounder Quintero who signed. He looks sharp!
Get 'em signed!

The Hill reports that Republican and Democratic negotiators may be getting close to a deal on FY 2011 spending:
A source familiar with the talks said members of the Senate and House Appropriations panels are working toward a target of $33 billion in spending cuts. The $33 billion goal splits the difference between $30 billion in cuts Senate Democrats have proposed and $36 billion in cuts Boehner suggested in talks with White House officials, according to the source.
The $33 billion would be close to the cuts first proposed by House GOP leaders, who moved to $61 billion in proposed cuts under pressure from freshmen in their conference. Policy language defunding the new healthcare law and Planned Parenthood, which conservatives have insisted should be in a final deal, remains a sticking point.
Democrats give the impression that they are salivating over the prospect of a government shutdown. That may be bluff; I haven't seen any any poll data that suggest the Republicans would be "blamed" any more than the Democrats.
Is $33 billion a reasonable deal for the GOP? The answer depends mostly on political calculation. The real showdown will be over the FY 2012 budget. Paul Ryan will release the Republicans' proposal some time next month, and the battle will then be joined. It may well be that the FY 2011 continuing resolutions are a distraction that have the potential to put the GOP in a hole for the real battle.
I don't know about that; John Boehner and his associates can calculate the political odds much better than we can. Presumably. But I will say this: $33 billion in cuts represents a trivial amount. If we use the Big Mac extra value meal analogy, a $33 billion cut in the federal budget represents the equivalent of ordering the meal; eating the Big Mac; drinking the Coke; and eating 85 out of 87 french fries. Then you take the 86th fry, bite off one sixth of it, and put the remaining 5/6 of one fry back in the box, along with the 87th fry. Is that a substantial cut? No.

My main passion is cars.i work in the IT sector mainly handling computer hardware. My very first computer experience is the ZX Spectrum used to play games. I was ~14 at that time. My latest notebook is HP Pavilion TX1000. Handheld / PDAwise, I had the HP Jornada 680?(with internal model), Palm tungsten E2 and Dell Axim X30i.
I was surfing for a Linux pc to train on. Came across the Alpha400 on ebay. Got a bargain for it. Item was new, standard specs but with 2gb flash and internal WiFi with online software installer pre-installed. I'm not sure whether I can learn some Linux from this but it sure is fun to use.

Intel Solid-State Drive FAQ: Read This First!SSDelightful Dec 7, 2010 9:50 AM
Intel Solid-State Drive FAQ Table of Contents
- Basic Information
- SSD Optimizations
- SSD Communities FAQs
- How-To Videos
- Resources
Basic Information
What do the digits in each SSD product code designate?
(Click on image to enlarge)
The last two digits labeled "Ordering Information" refer to what comes in the box you've purchased and how many SSDs were shipped in the same box ie
C# drive shipped in a brown box
R# drive shipped in a retail box without a desktop cloning kit
K# drive shipped in a retail box with a desktop cloning kit
The "#" simply states how many SSDs were shipped out together
SSD Optimizations
If you're using Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system, please utilize these system settings to ensure compatibility, endurance, and performance. If you're using Microsoft's Windows XP operating system, please disregard the Superfetch setting.
Make Sure Your SSD Isn't Scheduled for Disk Defragmentation
•If you're using an SSD with Microsoft's Windows 7, the operating system will automatically disable scheduled defragmentation.
•If you're running Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system, navigate to "My Computer".
•Right click on your SSD and choose properties from the drop-down menu.
•Navigate to the "Tools" tab and click "Defragment Now" in the "Defragmentation" menu.
•Near the top, there is a "Schedule" menu. Click "Configure Schedule" and ensure that there is no check next to the "Run on a schedule" option.
•If you're running Microsoft's Windows XP operating system, you must run disk defragmentation automatically. Simply make sure not to run the utility.
•Due to the design of SSDs, disk defragmentation is unnecessary and can even have a negative effect on the endurance of the drive.
Disable Superfetch (For Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 7)
•On your "Start" search menu, type "services.msc". Scroll down and find the "Superfetch" line, and double click it to open up its properties.
•Change the "Startup Type" to "disabled".
•Superfetch is designed to open your frequently used programs more quickly. However, this technique doesn't speed up an Intel SSD's performance significantly and can ultimately have a negative effect on the performance of the drive. Superfetch is not a feature on Microsoft Windows XP.
Ensure You Have the Proper Drivers Installed
Intel recommends using the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology v.9.6 driver available here:
This driver enables your Intel SSD to receive the TRIM command natively and automatically. Additionally, it is optimized for performance and endurance.
Intel® SSD Communities Frequently Asked questions General SSD FAQs
Visit this link for a more broad SSD FAQ:
Are there any known issues with regards to compatibility or performance?
Known issues are located in the Intel® Solid-State Drive Toolbox Read Me and Firmware Update Tool Guidelines found here:
Intel® Solid-State Drives have not been validated on systems using PATA to SATA or USB to SATA interface adapters as these interfaces don't take advantage of the Intel® SSD's increase in performance
Why can't Microsoft's ® Trim command be passed to Intel® SSDs configured in a RAID array?
Intel ® 34nm SSDs with the latest firmware release are able to receive the TRIM command, and will execute TRIM when issued. If two or more Intel® SSDs are configured in a RAID array and the TRIM command is not received, this is a constraint of the RAID controller rather than the drives or their firmware.

CAMP March Newsletter: Page7
Clarkson University's Professors Marzocca, Dhaniyala, and Tian to Acquire Wind Turbulence Data
A Clarkson University research team, led by Mechanical & Aeronautical Engineering Professors Pier Marzocca, Suresh Dhaniyala, and Lin Tian, is readying its unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the Clarkson Golden Eagle, to acquire wind turbulence data in the proximity of a wind farm. The three Clarkson faculty members, along with colleagues from six institutions and companies in the United States and Europe, have been awarded $700,000 by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to study Lake Erie wind resources and to perform a detailed evaluation of remote sensing technologies for wind resource estimation.
Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering Professor Pier Marzocca and student research team members Daniel Valyou and Jordan Janas display the unmanned aerial vehicle, the Clarkson Golden Eagle.
The international team will map onshore and offshore wind and turbulence fields and develop best practices for integration and operation of different instrumentation, including lidar technologies, meteorological towers, UAV measurements, and satellite‐derived products. Present and future development of onshore and offshore wind farms will benefit from this study. The Clarkson UAV will acquire horizontal and vertical wind and turbulence profiles at a low altitude.

Henry Okah is a Nigerian guerrilla leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND). MEND has claimed responsibility for attacks on oil companies operating in the Niger Delta, often through the use of sabotage, guerilla warfare or kidnapping of foreign oil workers. The rebels' goal is to destabilize the foreign oil interest in the Niger Delta, who they claim have been exploiting the local populace. MEND announced its creation in early 2006 with several attacks on Nigeria's oil infrastructure that have cut daily production by about one quarter, as well as a sophisticated media campaign involving e-mailing press releases to coincide with the attacks. It created headlines in Nigeria when it announced it would participate in peace talks if they were mediated by former United States President Jimmy Carter or actor George Clooney. It also claimed the organization was considering a cease-fire after receiving an "appeal" by U.S. President Barack Obama, who denied making it in the first place.
Okah was arrested in Angola and deported to Nigeria in February 2008, and charged with 62 counts of treason, terrorism, illegal possession of firearms and arms trafficking, faced the death penalty. He claimed to be "championing the disenfranchised residents of the Delta region, who see little benefit from the oil being pumped out from under them." Okah's lawyer, Femi Falana, claimed that the Nigerian government offered to buy him off by granting ownership of several oil blocks, though he refused. The trial, which began in April 2008, was held in private, because President Umaru Yar'Adua says it would "jeopardize national security". Lawyers for Okah said a closed trial was an infringement of his rights and asked a superior court to overturn the decision.
In response, on May 26, 2008, MEND attacked a Royal Dutch Shell pipeline in the Delta region, and claimed to have killed 11 Nigerian troops. While the Nigerian government denied the deaths, the price of oil rose $1 on world markets within hours of the attack. An e-mail from MEND warned " attacks... are a retaliation to his unnecessary arrest."

History of the Health Promotion and Exercise Sciences Department
The Health Promotion and Exercise Sciences Department (HPX) came to be in the spring of 2003 when the University approved the merger of the Physical Education Department with the Health Sciences Department.
The Physical Education department had been offering activity classes to undergraduates for decades dating back to the 1930's. It had been part of the Athletics and Recreation Department until 1985, when it became its own Department in the School of Professional Studies. While no Physical Education degree has ever been offered at Western Connecticut, the department took pride in offering a wide variety of skill courses, including basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, badminton, archery, fencing, square dance, volleyball, bowling, dance and many others to offer all students a worthwhile experience while fulfilling their general educational course requirements. Beginning in 2000, then chair Professor Phyllis Cooper began working with Dr. Jeffrey Schlicht to change the activity model from just a skills based model curriculum to include lifetime skills. New lifetime activities now include yoga, tai chi, core strength training, power-walking, aerobics and body sculpting.
The Physical Education Department has always been located in Berkshire Hall, simply due to the proximity to the 'Bill Williams' Gymnasium (named after Professor and long time chair/basketball coach Bill Williams) and to the athletic fields/outdoor recreational space. That outdoor space has since been eliminated with the new Science Building so most outdoor physical education activity classes take place on the Westside campus. Past chairs of the Physical Education department have included Georgette Kinney, Phyllis Cooper, Ted Hines, Dr. Marie Dean and Dr. Alice Donelley. The current chair of HPX is Professor Jody Rajcula and she has served as chair since 2003.
The Health Education Department was conceived by Dr. Alice Donelley, Professor of Physical Education, at the then Western Connecticut State College, in 1970, the first B.S. degree in Health Education is offered. In 1974, Ruth R. Shibuya was hired to develop the concept and implement the major. She served as Chair from September 1974 to May 1995.
The Department was originally housed in the Old Main Building on the second floor, southwest corner. There, it shared facilities and secretaries with the Education Department. With full support of the college's administration, the Department developed quickly and, through the years, became recognized in the state as the best site for undergraduate training in Health Education. Subsequent to the Old Main location, the department moved to White Hall where it was housed, in the basement initially with the Social Work Department and then on the first floor, sharing the secretary with the Music Department. After the merger with the Physical Education Department in 2003, it moved to Berkshire Hall where it has been housed since.
The Health Education Department officially became renamed as the Health Science Department in the Fall of 1990 in order to meet the State mandates for teacher certification, which precluded "Education" in the department's title.
One major focus of Health Education in Schools has been the preparation of Teachers of Health. Certification by the Connecticut State Education Department prepares our students to teach Health – kindergarten through twelfth grade. From basic anatomy, physiology and chemistry, these students also learn specific health subjects plus teaching methods to competently assume entry-level jobs in the schools.
A second major, Community Health, prepares students to assume roles as health educators in health organizations in the community. Whatever the focus of our majors, they are encouraged to view health as dynamic, balanced, positive and rational. That is, as new ideas on wellness are conceptualized and as information is disseminated from both credible and "non-believable" sources, health is a dynamic quality and responsibility for action depends on each person. Therefore, health educators must be competent and current in many fields.
All our students are encouraged to seek CHES (Certified Health Education Specialists) Certification. In the year 2000, WCSU became a regional site for administering this exam. While there are accrediting bodies for graduate programs in Public Health, none currently exists for undergraduate programs. However, our graduates easily enter graduate programs without apparent deficiencies in their prior academic training.
With the inception and encouragement of the Health Science University/ Community Advisory Board in April1998, an Institute for Holistic Health Studies (IHHS) was explored and conceived. In May 2000, after approval from the School and University's curriculum committees, Dr. Roach, WestConn's President, approved the establishment of the Institute for Holistic Health, housed and is currently managed within the Health Promotion and Exercise Sciences Department. The Institute sponsored renowned speakers in current and often controversial but critical areas of health promotion. For example, "The Power of the Mind and Spirit to Heal," "A Passion for the Possible," "Chakras and Healing for Self and Others" and "Healing through Dreams" are issues in health promotion that encourage action on the part of individuals for their own wellness. In Spring 2003,. The HPX Department and its Institute for Holistic Health became affiliated with the Connecticut Holistic Health Association, co-hosting the annual CHHA Holistic Health Fair, as well as several renown speakers throughout the year.
From 1995 through 2002, Dr. Jeanette Tedesco Chaired, Co-Chaired and served as Associate Chair of the Health Science Department, and also served as Director of the Institute for Holistic Health and then retired in May 2003. In Spring of 2002, Ms. Virginia Verhoff assumed the Interim Chair's position for Health Sciences until August 2003. In January 2003, Ms. Jody Rajcula and Virginia Verhoff served as co-chairs for the newly formed Health Promotion and Exercise Sciences Department. In September 2003, Ms. Jody Rajcula assumed the Interim Chair of the new Health Promotion and Exercise Sciences Department.
In January 2006, the CT Department of Higher Education approved of HPX offering a new BS degree program in Health Promotion Studies with options in Community Health and Wellness Management. The Wellness Management option is a result of the growing demand by business corporations to employ health educators to teach and improve the health of their employees in wellness programs. The new option was so popular that the department was able to graduate its first Wellness Management class in the spring of 2008. The offering of a third option in Holistic Health is anticipated in the near future.

Marcus Tudgay's first-minute goal continued Nottingham Forest's relentless surge up the npower Championship table as they saw off Watford 1-0 at the City Ground.
Tudgay struck early on as Billy Davies' side extended their unbeaten home run to 34 league matches to move into second place.
Forest are now seven points behind leaders QPR with two games in hand and are in a good position for promotion to the Barclays Premier League.
Malky Mackay's visitors have now gone four games without a win in all competitions but remain in the hunt for a play-off push themselves.
Forest have made the City Ground a fortress under Davies and took just 51 seconds to open the scoring.
Paul Konchesky may have endured a nightmare few months at Liverpool but remains a class above most in the Championship and played his part in the goal.
The left-back carried the ball forward before playing it out wide to Chris Cohen. His low cross was gathered in by Rob Earnshaw who in turn teed up Tudgay who finished with aplomb with the outside of his right foot.
The visitors were understandably shell-shocked at the setback but had their first moment of promise in the 14th minute when striker Marvin Sordell lashed in a shot which Lee Camp turned aside.
Mackay's side were getting a foothold in the game and full-back Lloyd Doyley was next to test Camp's reflexes with a dipping effort which the goalkeeper did well to turn over the top.
Cohen then hit a snap shot at the other end which England Under-21 goalkeeper Scott Loach did well to parry before Earnshaw curled a free-kick wide as a bright first half came to an end.
Earnshaw flashed a shot across the face of goal at the start of the second half before Danny Graham had his first sight of goal.
The Hornets' top scorer had endured a quiet afternoon until the 50th minute when he wriggled free on the edge of the area to drill in a low shot which Camp gathered well.
The visitors forced a flurry of corners as they searched for a way through but Wes Morgan and Luke Chambers were in commanding form at the heart of the Forest back four.
Chambers almost nicked a second when he flicked a header wide from a Radoslaw Majewski corner before Forest substitute Nathan Tyson had the final effort of the afternoon when he shot straight at Loach from 20 yards.
