Gee Walker recalled the last moments she had seen the 18-year-old alive near his Liverpool home, smiling radiantly just hours before he was killed in what has been described as a racist attack.
Mrs Walker, a special-needs teacher, told of the overwhelming anger she felt that her A-level student son had been stolen from his family.
"I just thought: 'How dare they do this to my boy?' It's crazy, because my kids are lovely. I've never had to smack any of them.
"I was saying: 'Look at all these years I've brought him up. Who gave you permission to do this to him? Why did you want to harm my lovely lad?'" she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.
Anthony died eight days ago, in a killing that shocked the nation, after suffering an axe blow to the head while accompanying his girlfriend Louise Gardiner to a bus stop the previous evening.
He was just a mile from his home in the Huyton area of the city. Paul Taylor, 20, and Michael Barton, 17, the brother of Manchester City midfielder Joey Barton, appeared in court on Friday charged with his murder.
Mrs Walker, who has five other children, said that her son made time for everybody: "Anthony just had this way about him. The teachers said he would always make them feel better.
"He would stand with the geeks and drop-outs, and make friends with them. Anyone who was going to be picked on, that's the one Anthony would get drawn to. He would shadow and encourage them because he was such a gentle soul."
He was always able to win his mother over to his way of thinking. "If Anthony wants something, he'll plead his case and you can't but give into him," she said.
Mrs Walker, whose family are deeply religious, last saw her son on the night of the attack. He had agreed to stay at home and babysit for his nephew, allowing his mother to attend an evangelical church service.
While she readied herself to go out, Anthony pushed the 18-month-old to a play area, and she saw him as she drove away.
"I saw him coming, pushing the buggy, and as I drove past him I peeped the horn. I just wanted to let him know I was off. He smiled back at me. Anthony was just at the top of the road. It was raining, so he had stopped to make sure the push-chair cover was over the baby."
The next time she saw him in the early hours of the next day, he was lying in hospital, his life rapidly slipping away. Mrs Walker's estranged husband, Steve, joined the family as Anthony lay dying in the neurological centre of Walton Hospital.
He said: "I went straight to his bedside and I took hold of Anthony's hand. I was talking to him softly saying, 'Anthony, what are you playing at? Come on lad, tell me what happened, my son.'"
Anthony had been a talented basketball player who once dreamt of playing professionally. Mrs Walker yearns to hear the comforting thud of his ball on the path, which always told her he was home.
"Last Saturday, for the first time, there was no bouncing sound. That's when I really knew he was gone," she said.

They have remained incommunicado, penned in two rooms, one for women and one for men, since the attacks on America interrupted their trial for preaching Christianity. Yesterday, after a three-week hiatus, during which the world changed for ever, eight Western aid workers trooped back into the spartan office of the Taliban's chief justice in Kabul for the resumption of their trial. If found guilty, they could be sentenced to death.
Sixty miles to the east, in the city of Jalalabad, the British journalist Yvonne Ridley, once a writer for The Independent on Sunday, was under interrogation by Taliban officials, having been picked up with two Afghan guides 10 miles inside the border with Pakistan.
They were trying to establish, they said, if she was a journalist or a spy. If they conclude she was a spy, the death penalty could be imposed.
It is hard to imagine a more terrifying plight than the one in which these nine Westerners find themselves: seven women and two men; two Americans, two Australians, four Germans and a Briton.
They are at the mercy of the most arbitrary regime in the world, where justice and punishment are based on the medieval prescriptions of sharia law – flogging, amputation, stoning, being buried alive – in a country so steeped in religious hatred that only yesterday in a mosque in Kabul the mullah told the faithful to have no association with non-Muslims, who he claimed were "inherently evil".
Three weeks ago, the position of the imprisoned aid workers was already dire, but since the terror attacks on America on 11 September, it has worsened dramatically. The diplomats who were trying (with little luck) to counsel them, and the relatives who could rarely speak to them, but were on hand to offer moral support, have all gone, obliged like all other foreigners to leave the country.
Now, at any moment of any day, American bombs and missiles could rain down on central Kabul, killing them; if they survived that they could be ripped to pieces by a vengeful mob like the one that descended on the US embassy in Kabul last week and set it ablaze.
Or, there is a third possibility: the eight of them, and, who knows, Yvonne Ridley too, could find themselves, like the Westerners stranded in Iraq in the run-up to the Gulf War, used as human shields: pawns in the Taliban's endgame.
One prominent Pakistani commentator described the aid workers as hostages long before the attacks on America made that a lively scenario.
Najam Sethi, maverick editor of Lahore's Friday Times, wrote in an editorial in his paper in early September that the timing of the arrests of the foreigners was very strange. In his view, the Taliban planned to use them as hostages.
Yesterday, he spelt out what he meant. "The Taliban had been well aware of what these people were doing in Afghanistan, and the timing of the arrests was very peculiar," Mr Sethi said.
"The United Nations had passed a resolution to put monitors into Pakistan to make sure the UN sanctions were not being broken, that no weapons should be given to the Taliban, that the economic sanctions were being enforced.
"The UN was at an early stage of putting pressure on them – and it was then that clerics in Pakistan set up the Council for the Defence of Afghanistan, and threatened to kill the monitors if they showed up. Then shortly after that the aid workers were taken hostage," he said.
A Western diplomat in Islamabad with expert knowledge of Afghanistan and its people said: "It's not unimaginable that the aid workers could be used as hostages.
"The Taliban's ambassador to Islamabad had already made links between these people and the treatment of Afghans abroad. The fact, for example, that thousands of Afghans were stranded in countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Indonesia and were unable to get home because of sanctions ... He had made these linkages," the diplomat said.
The arrest of the foreigners, who worked for a non-governmental organisation called Shelter Now International (SNI), long established in Afghanistan, came five years after the Taliban seized control of the Afghan capital, and it is believed to be only the second time that they have put foreigners on trial.
But if the timing of the arrest and prosecution suggested a desire by the regime to obtain some leverage on a world increasingly horrified by them and their works – then how much more useful could such a lever be now, with the wrath of America poised over their heads?
The Islamabad-based diplomat said: "No one knows what the trial procedures are all about The procedures are impenetrable. They caught these people red-handed, it appears, so why do they keep on delaying the trial?"
Najam Sethi said: "It's conceivable that at some time they might be used as bargaining chips ... It's possible. I wouldn't rule it out."
One thing, at least, is clear. In the three weeks since the foreign prisoners first stepped inside the bare room where crossed swords and a flail hang menacingly on the wall behind the judge's head, a great deal has changed within Afghanistan as well as without.
Merely the threat of an overwhelming military response by America has set waves of instability and resistance to the Taliban rolling across the whole country. People in the eastern province of Paktia have told the Taliban to pull Arab fighters connected to Osama bin Laden out of the area or face a revolt. Further north, near Sorobay, 50 Arab families have been evicted, according to refugees newly arrived in Pakistan.
The Taliban threatens barbarous punishments to those who disobey them, and as their grip on power – never totally secure – is challenged, the leaders start behaving in ways that are totally out of character. The Taliban's supreme leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar, for example, who has never shaken an infidel's hand in his life, has just been interviewed on Voice of America.
Yet, amid all the flux and uncertainty, there could still be grounds for hope for the captive Westerners.
The Taliban, for the first time since they took power, are beginning to listen to what the world is saying. "If they were seeking the world's goodwill," said the diplomat, "they might yet let them go."Reuse content

Local agencies participating in the Stepping Up Initiative met at the Pettis County Sheriff' Office conference room Thursday to plan for the SAMHSA' GAINS Sequential Intercept Mapping workshop scheduled for March 22 and 23.
The workshop, obtained by a grant written by Pettis County Sheriff Kevin Bond, will help train 40 individuals in a multi-disciplinarian approach in diverting those in need of mental health care from being stalemated in the criminal justice system without treatment.
During the meeting, Bond said the goal of Thursday's discussion was two-fold: to talk about the workshop and to also address the application process for grants for additional mental health services in the area.
Pettis County Health Center Administrator JoAnn Martin spoke to the group about the process of writing additional grants after assessing the workshop results.
Martin said she met with Chris Robinson, who has a private mental health practice in Sedalia. Robinson recently spoke with people at the New Hampshire Stepping Up Initiative.
"They have been able to gather a significant number of grants to support their project," she said. "In the process of having that conversation, it started me to thinking. Originally we thought that we needed a person who could coordinate all of the services for those individuals who were incarcerated, met the mental health screen, and then were released."
Martin said the more she thought about it and the more she listened to everyone she felt the project already had a few "mechanisms in place" to provide assistance on a basic level. She cited Heartland Recovery Resource Center and Katy Trail Community Health Center.
"But, what I'm hearing everybody say is 'we don't have a place in this community for somebody who's in a crisis,'" Martin added. "… Sometimes people need a safe place to go and have a conversation. Many times they need a safe place to go at 3 o'clock in the morning, so they can calm down and be removed from the situation that is escalating."
Removing the person to a "safe place" will help defuse the situation and give the person the opportunity to talk with a mental health counselor or another qualified individual.
"As law enforcement always points out these things happen at 11 o'clock on a Friday night, when there's nobody around," she noted. "So the option becomes to take them to the hospital for an evaluation where they sit for a long time … and then there is no place to go … and the problem escalates.
"If we had a designated place where they could receive assistance, then that might help with the intercept zero level to keep some people from getting into the cycle," she added.
Intercept zero occurs before law enforcement arrives.
"Sometimes people just need to get to a primary care provider," Martin added. "We know that people with mental health problems also have a lot of physical problems.
"What I'm asking everyone to do as we go through this workshop is to seriously think about what is our most acute need for this community, before we start writing grants," she said.
According to information by SAMHSA' GAINS, the workshop will focus on how individuals "move through" the local criminal justice system. It will also illustrate points of intervention or diversion for those with mental illness and it will teach ways that treatment systems can "interact" with the criminal justice system. The workshop will help those attending to identify where gaps in mental health services are occurring or duplicated.
During the meeting Bond asked Pettis County Community Partnership Executive Director Cheri Heeren to chair a sub-committee who would choose the individuals to participate in the workshop.
Volunteering for the sub-committee were Mark Cherry, Sedalia Police Department, Beverly Chapman, Pettis County victims' advocate, Anna White, community mental health liaison at Burrell Behavioral Health, Claudia Kays and Johnnie Williams, Heartland Recovery Resource Center, Deana Schlesselman, Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Sylvan Ward, with Pathways Behavioral Healthcare Inc. and Ed Bestgen, District 29 Probation and Parole.

Your guide to winning multiple offers on a home every time.
There are a few steps that can be taken to ensure your offer on a home with multiple offers will prevail and it is not always about price.
First and foremost is to write a strong and clean offer, with no confusing or extraneous terms. Instead, it should be clear and concise to convey the message that you mean business and are ready willing and able to buy. To that end, you should know that in today's market most homes are selling within 2 to 3 offer of the asking price and often over the asking price. Any offer that falls below that threshold is highly unlikely to even be considered in a multiple offer situation.
When submitting an offer you also want to make sure all your financial information and records are in order. If making a cash offer, present a bank statement showing you have the cash; and if getting a loan, present a letter stating you have been pre-qualified.
To really make an impression on a seller, you may want to consider offering them free rent for 30 days after closing escrow. This will make their lives much easier and will quickly put you in their good graces.
Remember, when there are several buyers bidding it's often based simply on who the seller likes better. Therefore it's imperative you always be cordial, respectful to the point and leave the impression that you'll be difficult to work with.
Being represented by a qualified and respected agent also will provide the seller comfort that you have good people around to get a deal done.

This book gives you the real-time analysis and market forecasts from the master himself, R.N. Elliott, with many essays on the applications of the Wave Principle. The letters and essays are extensively footnoted and cross-referenced by Robert Prechter.
Discover the pioneer of the Wave Principle, R.N. Elliott, through this word-for-word collection of his market letters including the charts he actually used. The material included within this book was virtually unavailable, with the exception of a few, barely legible photocopies, until now. You'll see Elliott's real-time analysis and forecasts of market action from 1938 through 1946, along with numerous essays on the application of the Wave Principle. Plus, commentary throughout the book is extensively footnoted and cross-referenced by Bob Prechter.
Robert Prechter began his professional career in 1975 as a Technical Market Specialist with the Merrill Lynch Market Analysis Department in New York. He has been publishing The Elliott Wave Theorist since 1979 and is the president of Elliott Wave International. He is also Executive Director of the Socionomics Institute, which studies social mood and its impact on social action, including the stock market and the economy.
The value of the material included in this book is substantial. First, Elliott's market letters contain a number of observations that are not found in Elliott's two books or his series of articles for Financial World magazine. Second, several of his real-time analyses are particularly insightful and original, expanding our knowledge of his unique genius. These letters allow us to observe Elliott's progress in continuing to refine his observations of the Wave Principle as market events unfolded over a period of eight years (coinciding almost exactly with World War II).

A cluster approach for the adsorption of oxygen and carbon monoxide on SnO2and CdS surfaces

Abstract A cluster approach has been used for the simulation of the adsorption of oxygen and carbon monoxide on SnO 2 and CdS surfaces. Computations are based on an ab initio method, the local-density approximation and atomic orbitals as a basis set. Solutions are calculated self consistently. The atomic orbital nature (origin) of the cluster levels is traced by the projection onto the atomic basis set. The results refer to clusters modelling SnO 2 (110) and CdS (101−0) faces without any surface reconstructions. Energy levels related to metallic surface species with different coordination are described for the basic SnO 2 and CdS clusters, together with levels originating from O 2 and CO adsorbates. The shifts of the levels formed by chemisorbed complexes are described in connection with the band scheme of the semiconductor.

And that is fine with the 6-foot-4, 290-pound offensive lineman, who likely will play guard in college.
"I like them a lot,'' Lucas said. "They're one of my top schools. I like how they came at me, and I always knew Rutgers was a big-time program because one of my coaches had (former Rutgers receivers) Tim Brown, and he went there, so coach was telling me that was a good place to go.''
Lucas holds offers from Illinois, Minnesota and Florida International and he is also getting strong interest from the Scarlet Knights, Florida State and Kansas State.
However, as of now there are only two schools' camps Lucas knows he will attend.
"I will be attending the Rutgers camp,'' Lucas said. "I like how they're coming at me, and that's one of the few camps I really want to go to. If they like me how they say they do, why not go up there and get taste of what it's like, and get a feel for it?''
The other camp Lucas plans to attend is at Florida State, but right now he is feeling a strong pull toward Rutgers because of receivers coach P.J. Fleck, who is recruiting him.
"He's real,'' Lucas said. "He's one of the few recruiters that I talk to that I feel real comfortable talking to him.''
When Lucas arrives to the Rutgers campus later this month, he wants to see one thing.
"The one thing is the offer. That's what I'm waiting on,'' he said. "I feel I can (get the offer) because (Fleck), he was at one of the practices where I felt I wasn't at my best. When I talked to him that night on the phone, I was (bummed) because I didn't do well, but he felt like I was a great player.
"I know I'm better than the day he saw. So I figure if I go up there and show him how I am going 100 (percent), I'll earn an offer.''
Oh, and although Lucas said Brown's success at Rutgers helps, he did make sure to say Brown's former school, Miami Northwestern, is also the game he looks the most forward to playing.
"Is that a big rival?" Lucas said. "That's a game where you better get ready. You're not going to get any type of calls or nothing. It's going to be live and packed. It's Florida State and the U (Miami). We're not too far from each other. That's our friends. We grew up together. I'd rather hit my friend harder than anyone else.''
