| Bass Guantanamo Return to index of stories... |
How should the prisoners being held in Cuba be classified? Some human rights groups say the fighters of Al Queda and Taliban should be called prisoners of war and given protections under the Geneva Convention. New Hampshire Congressman Charlies Bass disagrees. He just returned from a trip to the military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Bass says the Bush administration is correct in calling them detainees. Bass says he doesn't know how long they'll be detained or when or if they should be charged. |

New Hampshire prosecutors won two victories today in their case against Robert Tulloch, the Vermont teen accused of killing two Dartmouth College professors last year.

The judge also denied a request that the state tape-record all conversations it has with its star witness, James Parker. Parker has pleaded guilty to reduced charges and has agreed to testify against Tulloch. It was also a day for remembering Half and Susanne Zantop - who were murdered one year ago today.

| Into Chaoticom Return to index of stories... |
A university of New Hapshire associate professor of mathematics and statistics has found a way to tame chaos and use it to compress data. Kevin Short has now founded a company in collaboration with UNH and other funders. "Chaoticom" will build and market products using his new chaotic compression technology. Chip Neal visited the start up company in Hampton Falls and found out that finding the order in chaos is just the beginning of a long hard journey for the folks at Chaoticom. |
| Chaoticom Return to index of stories... |
A UNH associate professor of mathematics and statistics has figured out how to make order out of chaos - well at least some order out of some chaos. Kevin Short and some graduate students have discovered a new kind of data compression based on his discovery. They can compress voice, music, even video with out using lots of valuable memory space. Imagine a CD that can hold 1000 hours of music. But now Kevin is learning that inventing the technology is just the beginning. Making a product and building a business is a whole other ballgame. That's where he needed help. Through UNH Kevin Short met George McQuilken , a start up investor who was attracted to the potential of this technology. George became chairman of the board of the new company and he brought with him Lucy McQuilken his daughter who is now the President of the company. It is called Chaoticom and they hope to be shipping their wireless software product in one year. But first, they are hard at work traveling around the country selling their idea to potential investors. |

The University of New Hampshire is watching "Chaoticom" closely hoping it will set the trend for similar partnerships in the future. And, since we taped that story, Lucy McQuilken the president of the company, was named one of the top ten New Hampshire business executives to watch by the Massachussettes High Tech Journal. As with most high tech ventures, you can find chaoticom on the web at www-dot-chaoticom-dot-com. |

| Scrap Pile Return to index of stories... |
Scrap metal will soon return to Portsmouth. The Pease Development Authority's Division of Ports and Harbors has signed a deal with a New York company to pile it on the Portsmouth pier. Scrap metal piles used to be a common sight on the pier, but were stopped five years ago. Many area residents didn't like having them there. But Rensaaleer Iron and Steel will soon begin trucking scrap metal to the pier. The company will be able to pile it there for up to four months before it's loaded onto ships. The one-year contract could earn the Division of Ports and Harbors up to 700-thousand-dollars. |
