CONCORD – Since June 1, the state Department of Justice has added the names of 81 New Hampshire police officers to its so-called Exculpatory Evidence Schedule, formerly known as the Laurie List, bringing to 249 the number of officers determined to have credibility issues.
|
An email from Gilles Bissonnette, director of American Civil Liberties Union of New Hampshire, contained the updated EES list, as well as a compliance document, which lists the police departments from which the DOJ received a certificate of compliance notification.
|
The updated EES document, meanwhile, remains heavily redacted; blacked out are the names of the officers and the dates of the incidents that led to their names being put on the list.
|
The unredacted information lists the department, the date of notification, and the category under which the officers’ alleged offenses fall.
|
Tuesday’s documents release is the latest development in the lawsuit the ACLU-NH, the New Hampshire Center for Public Interest Journalism and several media outlets, including The Telegraph, filed under the state’s Right to Know law.
|
The plaintiffs argue in the suit that names of police officers on the new EES and its predecessor, the Laurie List, are public records under the Right to Know statute.
|
State officials disagree, putting forth the argument that the list, which names police officers with credibility issues, is an extension of the officers’ confidential personnel files, and therefore is not subject to the Right to Know law.

one for the use of physical or deadly force.

Other local towns listed include Milford, twice, with no date or category; Hollis, on Sept. 1 under truthfulness; a second time, no date or category; Hudson, no date or category; Brookline, twice, no date or category; Merrimack, twice, no date or category.
|
As for the EES Certificates of Compliance list, local towns checked off as compliant include Amherst, on Jan. 18; Hollis, on Dec. 21, 2017; Merrimack, on Jan. 2; Milford, on Dec. 29, 2017; Wilton, on Sept. 7; and Lyndeborough, on April 28.

"Penny stood up and said, 'I just want to announce that the Internet giving is going crazy,'" Eisen recalled. "The small donors, as a result of the success in the caucuses, really were hitting the website in unprecedented numbers, and it was off to the races after that."
|
Though Michael Malbin of the Campaign Finance Institute, a co-panelist with Eisen, has questioned the degree to which Obama relied on small donors in raising $750 million, Eisen said that small donors' responses to the campaign "creates a powerful ethic of indebtedness ... to the American people and indebtedness to the public interest and the notion that we can escape from the special interests. And so we think that — from a personal perspective — that the emphasis on small donors, the grass-roots orientation from the campaign has carried over to our style of governance."
|
Eisen compared Obama, who had long cast himself as a staunch advocate of stricter campaign finance and ethics rules, to Teddy Roosevelt.
|
"But for his busy schedule, [Obama] would be in the audience here today," said Eisen, who founded the left-leaning watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. Since joining the administration, Eisen has engaged in unprecedented outreach to advocates for tougher campaign finance and ethics rules who largely comprised the audience for Friday's panel and enthusiastically greeted his remarks.
|
In response to a question about whether he would use his influence to urge Obama to advocate for measures reducing the role of money in politics, Eisen got rapturous applause by proclaiming "the best is yet to come. We're going to continue this fight. We are not going to stop. We are not going to quit, no matter what."
|
This is a classic. Norm is comparing Bobo's campaign strategy to the strategy we used when we murdered the British, and stole their land because the tax code wasn't to our liking.
|
I'm not sure which is sadder.....Norm Eisen for comparing Obama's campaign to what is arguably the pivotal event of the past 250 years...or the fools who still believe Obama has surrounded himself with the smartest advisors in history. Come to think of it, Eisen wins for being sad....the fools are just laughable.
|
I hear some of the Obamanuts equate the ONE's ability to walk and chew bubblegum with Jonas Salk's development of the polio vaccine. Makes perfect sense...if you're a left wingnut.
|
Much more than just 250 years if you look at how dramatically the world has changed since the emergence on the USA. These people are delusional! It could be the most pivotal event ever.
|
I think Obama has done an ok job so far, but some of these people are delusional. This guy had to be kidding or he is insane.
|
Last I checked Obama raised a fortune from big business, just as much as McCain.
|
The reason Obama was able to raise so much is because of the incompetence of Bush and the Republicans. Had nothing to do with Obama.
|
here's what's really sad about this article, Team Obama broke just about every campaign fincance law on the books to get his money.
|
First of all, the people that would compare the Obama campaign to THE most pivitol event, probably in the history of the world, are just plain stupid and egotistical. They are so full of themselves.
|
Second, why are the donor lists not available? How did the Obama campaign make sure that all those online donations were not coming from the middle east or China? I have a sneaky suspicion that we'll never have access to the donor list because they don't want us to see that Obama was elected using foreign money.
|
The Obama fundraising machine may owe its sensational success in part to a relaxation of standard online merchant security practices, which has allowed illegal donations from foreign donors and from unknown individuals using anonymous "gift" cards, industry analysts and a confidential informant tell Newsmax.
|
An ongoing Newsmax investigation into the Obama campaign's finance reports has exposed multiple instances of campaign finance violations and has been cited in a formal complaint to the Federal Election Commission filed by the Republican National Committee on Oct. 6.
|
Campaigns are not required to disclose contributors who donate less than $200 - and Obama's campaign refuses to release their names, addresses, and donation amounts. Obama has collected a staggering $603.2 million. Most of the money - $543.3 million - has come from individual contributors, half of it from "small" donors Obama won't disclose.
|
The Obama campaign has turned a blind eye to the possibility of donor fraud. Reportedly, during the heated primary battle with Hillary Clinton, the Obama campaign "turned off" many of the security features on its online donor page, allowing any person with a valid credit card number to donate using any name or address.
|
Typically, card merchants require a cardholder's name to match critical personal details, such as an address or, at the least, a ZIP code.
|
Besides, you gotta give him and his campaign credit for being innovative with fund raising. One would be hard pressed to name anyone who thought to use the internet to their advantage as has President Obama. When President Bush (Sr.) responded, "jealous" to the question posed by a reporter on how he felt about Candidate Obama's overseas trip and the reception he received there - I admired the man for it - he manned-up and lightheatedly responded "jealous" - it didn't take anything away from President Bush (Sr.) to say such a thing.
|
It gets really tiresome when the opposition party can find nothing positive to say about the current President.
|
Newsmax! - I cancelled my subscription. They are as looney as Fox News.
|
i'd like to see where all that money came from. mostly the middle east i suspect.
|
whatever,what ever. or in other words,so what.
|
They may be... I am not questioning Newsmax. I am questioning the fact that a massive amount of money was raised using questionable (at best) methods that could've made it easy for foreign donars to influence the election. Lets debate the question rather than instantly try attacking the source of the question.
|
The disclaimer on Obamas campaign website for donations under a certain dollar value was telling.
|
But goldman sachs has been given the treatment they paid for and some.

rule #1 for progressive/liberal advocacy.

Acorn was stealing elections in 1776???
|
If they were around in 1776 they would have been on the wrong end of a bayonet.
|
Small donations from a lot of people. Exactly the way campaign funding works the best. A true representation of the will of the people. A grassroots victory.

Indonesian garment workers Linda Ratnasari and Siti Chasanah, who were scheduled to speak at Cornell about their lives as sweatshop laborers on March 20, were unable to make it to the event due to the rejection of their visa applications by the State Department.

Following in the footsteps of Cornell Tech, the School of Industrial and Labor Relations opened on Feb. 28 a new New York City outpost at an opening ceremony headlined by Mayor Bill de Blasio (D-N.Y.).

Five months after Kevin Hallock stepped down from the helm of the School of Industrial and Labor Relations to lead the newly formed SC Johnson College of Business, the nation’s premier institution of labor education and research continues in its search for a new dean. While the search committee has voiced desire for student input, we fear the opinions of those most impacted by the management of this program will not be made a central concern. In fact, the Provost has made no commitments to transparency in this process, and has indicated to faculty members that he may be departing from well-established norms by not giving faculty and students the ability to comment on candidates being considered for the position. The Provost would require the select faculty members who meet the finalists to sign confidentiality agreements, agreeing to refrain from discussing potential candidates with their colleagues. The fact that the previous dean was so easily able to transition to leading an institution of management is indicative of the corporate bias of the search process to date.

On October 2, ILR Dean Kevin Hallock shocked the ILR community by sending out a mass e-mail announcing that he had sought and received an appointment as the Dean of the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, an apparent promotion over his position at the School of Industrial and Labor Relations. As Dean Hallock goes on to what he and Cornell’s senior administration believe to be bigger and better things, he leaves behind an ILR school at an important crossroads. Will the ILR school be reduced to a niche business school and a stepping stone for promising business leaders or will it fulfill its potential to be the world’s leading institution for the study of work, workers and employment? The ILR school was founded in 1945 during an era of massive change in the American labor market. Enabled by New Deal legislation and fueled by a wave of post-depression left-wing militancy workers across the United States were joining unions by the millions and organizing bold and confrontational strikes to demand a bigger share of the economic fruits of their labor.

Fifteen sports industry professionals will speak in New York City at the ILR Sports Leadership Summit to discuss the opportunities and future of the industry. Speakers will include the current commissioner of the National Hockey League, the ESPN president and co-chair of Disney Media Networks and the co-head of CAA Sports.

Colvin, who joined the ILR school in 2008, assumed the position on Tuesday, Oct. 9. The University will begin searching candidates for the position immediately, Provost Michael Kotlikoff said.

This summer, 15 Cornell students embarked on a journey that reshaped their awareness of global health systems. In partnership with the non-governmental organization Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement and the ILR School, students in the Global Health program worked on four to six week projects at SVYM sites that related to students’ career and service interests. In addition to projects, the students took classes at the Vivekananda Institute of Indian Studies in Mysore, India, where they learned about Indian culture, gender, labor relations and economics, language and yoga. Global Health student Simran Malhotra ’20 saw her project on digitizing patient history have a tangible impact despite organizational complications. “Because I was not working to publish something, I could work immediately with the NGO and actually saw them using my work,” Malhotra said. According to Malhotra, since the doctors in India see up to 50 patients in a day — such a high volume of visits means that doctors do not have time to go over treatment procedures with patients.

Abortion providers filed a petition on Thursday asking the full 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider the constitutionality of new abortion regulations passed by the Republican-led Texas Legislature in July.
|
The petition, filed on behalf of a coalition representing the majority of abortion providers in Texas, comes on the heels of a unanimous decision made by the court's three-judge panel in March to uphold two requirements recently implemented in the state. Those rules require physicians to obtain hospital admitting privileges within 30 miles of an abortion facility and to follow the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s protocol for drug-induced abortions rather than a common, evidence-based protocol.
|
Republicans celebrated the March decision in favor of the state, which argued that the rules should be deemed constitutional because they were intended to protect women’s health. The state's attorneys also argued that there wasn't enough evidence to suggest that the rules created an undue burden on the majority of women in Texas seeking abortions.
|
In the opinion issued by the three-judge panel, Justice Edith Jones wrote that the state's "articulation of rational legislative objectives, which was backed by evidence placed before the state Legislature, easily supplied a connection between the admitting-privileges rule and the desirable protection of abortion patients’ health."
|
An attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights, which represents the coalition of Texas abortion providers, had argued that the new rules are unconstitutional because women in South Texas, the Panhandle and other areas of the state are now left to travel long distances to seek abortions. That's because some abortion facilities were forced to discontinue performing the procedure when new abortion regulations were implemented on Nov. 1.
|
The plaintiffs are now asking the full 5th Circuit Court to reconsider the panel’s decision, arguing that courts in other states, including Alabama, Mississippi and Wisconsin, have blocked similar provisions.
|
“We look to the full court to enforce the Constitution, follow Supreme Court precedent, recognize the real life harms to the women of Texas and block this law from being enforced,” said Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights.
|
Since the rules in question went into effect in November, a dozen abortion facilities in the state have closed. In August, before the rules took effect, there were 40 licensed abortion providers in Texas. Now there are 28 licensed abortion providers, only 24 of which still perform the procedure.
|
The number of abortion facilities in Texas is expected to drop to about six when additional rules that require abortion clinics to meet the same standards as ambulatory surgical centers take effect in September.
|
Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in a statement that the group would continue to fight the law, which she said is intended to eliminate access to safe, legal abortions. “Planned Parenthood will do everything we can to stop politicians from imposing their agenda on Texas women. A woman’s rights and her ability to access medical care should not depend on her zip code,” she said.
|
Abortion providers have also filed a second lawsuit targeting an additional requirement passed by the Legislature that requires all abortions to be performed in ambulatory surgical centers starting in September. New regulations that ban abortions at 20 weeks of gestation remain unchallenged in court.
|
Correction: A previous version of this story stated that the new requirement that abortions be performed in ambulatory surgical centers remained unchallenged in court. Abortion providers filed a second lawsuit challenging the additional requirement last week.

A mixture of wine and soda water, the "spritzer" of yesteryear is so passé compared to the creative concoctions we're sipping today!
|
As temperatures rise and summer stretches out in front of us with a lazy ease, we find ourselves thinking of friends, fun and flavor. There is no better way to combine all three than with creative wine cocktails putting a modern twist on spritzers of the past.
|
I began thinking about this the other day while visiting an account. Mrs. Mary of Cuban Liquor in Shreveport had a customer request Honig Late Harvest wine. You may recall I wrote in previous articles about this special high dollar dessert wine often referred to as "liquid gold." The customer explained to Mrs. Mary that she adds this wine to her….coffee! Strange, I thought initially, but then it made sense. That's not really much different from adding honey or other sweeteners to your coffee. The same customer also mentioned that her husband loves big oaky Chardonnays. Her, not so much. So, she adds a little St. Germain Liqueur for the perfect touch of sweetness.
|
I understand that some may abhor the thought of adding anything to your wine of choice. That's perfectly okay. For those out there looking to "spritz it up" this summer while lounging at the pool or lingering on the porch, I present to you a few crisp and refreshing recipes!
|
Cranberry Spritzer – A twist on the classic, add a splash of cranberry juice to chilled white wine and chilled club soda.
|
Lemon Wine Spritzer – A half teaspoon of lemon juice, a splash of gin, fill glass with chilled white wine, top with cold seltzer and add a few lemon slices.
|
Berry Wine Spritzer – In a pitcher, add a bottle of your favorite Pinot Grigio, a liter of Sprite Zero, a handful of fresh or frozen raspberries, a handful of blueberries, 3 oz. of Grand Mariner, stir and enjoy!
|
Red Wine Berry Spritzer – Add a splash of La Croix flavored sparkling water (pick your flavor) to your favorite red wine and throw in a handful of your favorite frozen fruit for the perfect patio drink!
|
Peach Wine Spritzer – Blend and puree six quartered fresh or frozen peaches and 2 tablespoons honey, combine this and a bottle of chilled white wine and a liter of cold sparkling water, garnish with mint and a peach slice.
|
Raspberry Limoncello Prosecco – In a pitcher, add a bottle of Prosecco, a cup of Limoncello Liqueur, a cup of frozen raspberries and garnish with fresh mint.
|
Kir – Pour a splash or two of Crème de Cassis (Black Currant liqueur) in a wine glass, add a light, white wine of your choice, and drop in a few fresh blackberries or raspberries for decoration.
|
Kir Royale – Pour a splash or two of Crème de Cassis in a champagne glass, add sparkling wine or Champagne of your choice, again garnish with fresh blackberries or raspberries.
|
Personally, I've always been a fan of adding frozen strawberries or grapes to my glass of wine - both red and white. Recently featured on Pinterest were ice cubes made of wine with fruit frozen inside, I must try!

The removal of the Philippines to participate in the H-2B program could be catastrophic for Guam's economic development, the Chamber of Commerce said.
|
The recent removal of the Philippines to participate in the H-2B program could be catastrophic for Guam's economic development, the Guam Chamber of Commerce said Wednesday.
|
The Department of Homeland Security announced that the Philippines is no longer on the list of countries eligible to send workers to the U.S. under the federal H-2A and H-2B programs at least for a year. The new policy, published in the Jan. 18 Federal Register, said the Philippines has high rates of H-2B overstay.
|
"We need to do a little work on the federal government's claim for over-stayers and see how our numbers compare to the US," said Joe Arnett, chairman of the chamber of commerce board. "Overall, this new rule is an unwelcome development for the local economy on so many levels."
|
Significant construction projects on Guam require a workforce that Guam cannot sustain, the chamber said in a release, without the use of the H-2B program.
|
Ten percent of Guam's workforce is involved in the construction industry, the chamber said, and this is not enough for the current construction demands for skilled workers. In addition, Guam's geographical distance from the continental United States does not make it a viable option for an all-US workforce without considerable increase in the costs associated with the construction projects, the chamber said.
|
"The chamber has been pro-actively working with the local and federal governments to change the denial rates for the past few years," said Catherine Castro, chamber president. "We saw the positive change affect work for Department of Defense projects and we need to continue discussions to insure that our local projects and needs receive the same consideration."
|
Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero on Wednesday said she will try to speak to the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen about the matter when she is in D.C. at the end of February.
|
The 340-room Tsubaki Tower was the first private sector project to receive H-2B visa approval from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in November.
|
The luxury hotel was anticipated to open in October 2018, according to hotel representative, however, the lack of H-2B visas, due to the federal government's blanket denial of H-2B petitions for Guam starting late 2015, resulted in a lack of workers and a delayed timeline.
|
A request for 38 skilled foreign workers for the tower's construction was approved under the National Defense Authorization Act, ensuring an opening date in 2019.
|
According to a letter submitted to the Department of Defense by the Guam Economic Development Agency, the military build-up on Guam will require an increased number of hotel rooms to adequately house the uptick of military personnel on-island. Therefore, the successful construction of Tsubaki Tower is directly affiliated with the military realignment, according to the letter.
|
After jumping over this hurdle, the latest ban poses another hurdle for the tower’s construction, says Milton Morinaga, managing director at PHR Ken Micronesia.

Two of Japan’s whaling ships have returned home from Antarctic with no catch onboard for the first time in nearly 30 years, local news reported. The news comes after a UN court ordered an halt to Japan’s annual “scientific” whale hunt.
|
The 724-ton Yushinmaru and the 747-ton Daini (No 2) Yushinmaru returned to port in Shimonoseki, western Japan, which is considered to be one of the major whaling bases in the country, on Saturday.
|
This is the first time the whale-hunting vessels have returned “empty-handed” since 1987, the year Japan started its annual scientific hunt of whales in the Antarctic, according to Asahi Shimbun newspaper.
