'The Hills Run Red' fest showcases lesser-known spaghetti westerns
FILM With Django Unchained-related posts currently filling up your Facebook feed (and box-office receipts stuffing Quentin Tarantino's pockets), now seems the perfect time to amble over to Berkeley for the Pacific Film Archive's spaghetti western series.
Six-part "The Hills Run Red: Italian Westerns, Leone, and Beyond" highlights some of the genre's most notable B-sides, with three examples of 'ghetti subset "Zapata westerns," plus a Monte Hellman oddity, a leather-clad display of youthful Burt Reynolds charisma, and a Lee Van Cleef classic. Expect multiple train heists and shootouts, dubbing that runs the gamut from questionable to surreal, class warfare, much macho chest-beating, and some stellar Ennio Morricone ear candy — including scores sampled by Tarantino over the years. Do not expect any political correctness whatsoever.
Plot incoherence and generous helpings of cheese are also on the menu in 1971's Duck, You Sucker!, also known as A Fistful of Dynamite. Director Sergio Leone took the gig reluctantly; he'd wanted a break from westerns after 1968's Once Upon a Time in the West, but came aboard after Peter Bogdanovich, Sam Peckinpah, and Giancarlo Santi (Leone's assistant on West and 1966's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) jumped ship for reasons both personal and producer-mandated. The casting of leads James Coburn (as an Irish explosives expert) and Rod Steiger (as, uh, a Mexican bandit) also came after a round-robin of choices were bandied about — including George Lazenby, fresh off his first and last James Bond portrayal, for Coburn's part.
At any rate, Duck opens with a Mao quote that reminds us "The revolution is an act of violence." We meet Juan (Steiger, whose accent foreshadows Scarface by 12 years) peeing on an anthill and weaseling his way onto a stagecoach populated by snobby gringos. After an uncomfortably extended sequence comprised of extreme close-ups of richie-rich lips and teeth — chomping food, hurling insults at the peasant in their midst — Juan reveals he's actually a serial robber, helped along by his extended brood of scrappy sons. Sure, there's a revolution going on, but he's in it for personal gain. "My country is not my family," he mutters later in the film; revolutions, he says, are planned by men who read too many books — and carried out by poor people, many of whom don't live to see the end result.
This observation proves eye-opening for Mallory (Coburn), who gives his first name as John, though his true name is Sean — which, to my ears, is one of the recurrent motifs in Morricone's score ("Shon! Shon!") On the run from his IRA misdeeds — shared throughout the film in superfluous, soft-focus, slo-mo flashbacks — the dynamite addict joins Juan's crew to help rob a bank, or so Juan thinks, until he realizes the Irishman has neglected to mention that the vault contains political prisoners, not gold. Having sprung hundreds of captives purely by accident, Juan becomes the world's most reluctant revolutionary hero. Meanwhile John/Sean works through his own demons by applying generous amounts of TNT to bridges, trains, etc.

The last game of the calendar year tonight in Canada, aye? I've always wondered how the Raptors players and staff feel. Like the GM Brian Colangello. "Nah, no thanks. I mean Phoenix is nice and all but I'd rather spend some time up in Canada. You know, where basketball was invented!" Our old buddy Matt Devlin went up there after he was let go by the Bobcats.
Anyway, as for tonight. Tyson Chandler, still out.
The Raptors are not happy, they're hot, coming in with 4 straight wins and we smoked them 116 - 81 in Charlotte. Big difference between this team at home and away, in the win column at least.

Jack has been feeling what I like to call "Being a Bobcat" from the referees lately. It sucks and probably has taken years off of Bernie Bickerstaff and my lifetimes but the refs don't respect a team with no all-stars and no national tv exposure.
So, will we make it 2-14 on the road tonight?

• Click here to watch a video replay of the first 2012 presidential debate.
• Click here to read a transcript of the debate.
WASHINGTON — Challenger Mitt Romney used Wednesday's debate to put President Barack Obama on the defensive on health care, jobs and other issues. The president's reluctance to fire back harshly gave new hope to Republican partisans.
Romney managed to highlight his top campaign themes — calling for lower tax rates, less regulation, the repeal of "Obamacare" — while largely fending off Obama's demands for details on how to pay for his proposals or safeguard Americans' health and well-being.
Neither Obama nor the debate's moderator, meanwhile, pressed Romney on some of his most vulnerable points. They included Romney's claim that 47 percent of Americans are docile dependents on the government, a topic heavily featured in TV ads and public conversations the past two weeks.
The 90-minute debate in Denver may have been too wonky to captivate millions of American viewers and change the campaign's overall arc. Polls show Obama leading in key battleground states.
But it delighted Republicans who felt Romney was the aggressor without going overboard, and who were surprised by Obama's cautious, at times listless demeanor.
Even some Democratic partisans grudgingly acknowledged that Romney had a good debate.
"I think he won, unfortunately," said Karl Amelchenko, 36, a lawyer from Raleigh, N.C., who supports Obama. "Romney was aggressive. He attacked."
Romney might have scored points with his comments about helping people who have been hit by the recession.
"We can help, but it's going to take a different path," he said. "The path that we're on has been unsuccessful. Trickle-down government will not work."
The nominees have two more debates this month, and a government jobs report on Friday could reshape the contest. Obama has aired more TV ads than Romney in several key states, and it's unclear whether Romney can follow his solid debate performance with the type of incisive message that has eluded him so far.
Obama and moderator Jim Lehrer repeatedly failed to force Romney to detail how he would cut tax rates at every income level without expanding the deficit or forcing middle-income people to pay a higher total tax bill.
"If you believe that we can cut taxes by $5 trillion and add $2 trillion in additional spending that the military is not asking for," Obama said, "and you think that by closing loopholes and deductions for the well-to-do, somehow you will not end up picking up the tab, then Gov. Romney's plan may work for you."
"Virtually everything he just said about my tax plan is inaccurate," Romney retorted. "I'm not looking for a $5 trillion tax cut."
As Romney all but accused Obama of lying about his tax plan, the president alternated between looking directly at his Republican rival and bowing his head to take notes. "Now he's saying his big bold idea is 'never mind,' " Obama said.
Romney held his ground. He said he would reduce income tax rates without adding to the deficit and without reducing "the share paid by high-income individuals."
Economists say Romney has yet to explain how he can manage that feat.
Obama seemed frustrated but almost resigned. He said Romney's running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, "put forward a budget that reflects many of the principles that Gov. Romney's talked about. And it wasn't very detailed. This seems to be a trend."
But rather than press Romney any harder for details, the president moved on.
Obama seemed eager not to appear prickly or angry. He flashed his familiar smile often, and it's possible that many viewers saw him as relaxed and unshaken.
But the president also failed to follow through on some openings, such as when he noted that Romney once said he would reject a deficit-reduction plan even if it called for only $1 in new tax revenues for every $10 in spending cuts.
Obama said he wants "a balanced approach" that would include $2.50 in spending cuts for every $1 in new revenue.
Obama used the debate's early moments to put the best light on his handling of the economy. He mentioned that the U.S. car industry is rebounding, and the housing market is growing.
Romney replied: "We've got 23 million people out of work or looking for work."
Both men spoke to middle America, making few references to issues that fire up the right and left fringes.
Republican consultant Matt Mackowiak said Romney "was on offense most of the night, holding Obama accountable for massive investments in green energy, the growing national debt and weak economic recovery. Obama never asked Romney to defend the Bain Capital record, his decision to release only two years of tax returns or the '47 percent' comment."
Democratic strategist Doug Hattaway said Romney "did fine, as expected. But fine doesn't get the job done." He said Romney failed to "change the dynamics of the race."
With a month remaining until the election, and early voting under way in many states, Republican partisans hope Hattaway is wrong.
Debate takeaways
The debate brought a constant tug-and-pull over the facts: Obama's version versus Romney's.
Romney accused Obama of mischaracterizing several parts of his agenda, from taxes to Wall Street reform. Romney told the president that as the father of five sons, "I'm used to people saying something that's not always true but just keep on repeating it and ultimately hoping I'll believe it."
At another point, Romney said, "Mr. President, you're entitled to your own house and your own airplane but not your own facts."
Obama repeatedly accused Romney of pushing for changes to Medicare that would turn it into a voucher-like program.
To those in the audience, Obama said: "If you're 54 or 55, you might want to listen."
PBS newsman Jim Lehrer got mixed reviews for his role as the moderator.
The two candidates strayed from the time limits throughout the debate and Lehrer struggled to enforce the set 15-minute segments covering the economy, health care and other topics. The result was a steady back-and-forth between Obama and Romney, with the candidates often talking over themselves.
Many viewers took to Twitter, panning Lehrer's handling of the debate.
Romney even said he'd cut funding for Lehrer's network. "I'm sorry, Jim, I'm going to stop the subsidy to PBS ... I like PBS, I love Big Bird. Actually like you, too. But I'm not going to — I'm not going to keep on spending money on things to borrow money from China to pay for."
Obama was quick to offer praise to Lehrer, though, saying near the end of the debate that he did a "great job."
If you were a wonk, this was the debate for you. Obama and Romney appeared far more at ease comparing policy ratings than with trading zingers.
"The National Federation of Independent Businesses said your plan will kill 700,000 jobs," Romney said at one point, accusing Obama of pushing a plan that would hurt small businesses.
In another, Romney cited two groups — the Congressional Budget Office and McKinsey and Co. — as a reason why Obama's health care law was hurting the country. But Obama had his own insider comeback, pointing to the AARP. "And this is not only my opinion. AARP thinks that," Obama said. "AARP has said that your plan would weaken Medicare substantially."
For a campaign where a new attack line has emerged nearly every week, exactly zero of this campaign's string of catchphrases made it into the debate.
Obama was silent on "47 percent," the reference to Romney's now-famous critique of Americans who don't pay federal income taxes.
Likewise, Romney didn't touch Vice President Joe Biden's comment from Tuesday, that the middle class had been "buried" the past four years. However, Romney did use the term "buried" in his own comments, and used another, "crushed," three times.
Nowhere in Obama's comments was Romney's private equity firm, Bain Capital, which the Democrat demonizes as a job-killing corporate predator, nor the fact that Romney has personal assets in Swiss bank accounts.
To complete the parade of hits not made, Romney failed to mention this summer favorite, Obama's "you didn't build it" remark referring to small businesses.
The start of the debate offered a light moment: Obama offered anniversary wishes to his wife, first lady Michelle Obama.
The president said 20 years ago, he "became the luckiest man on earth" when they got married.
Calling the first lady "sweetie," Obama said from the debate podium that a year from now, "we will not be celebrating it in front of 40 million people."
Romney offered his congratulations with a touch of humor: "I'm sure it's the most romantic place you can imagine, here with me."
For being a major sticking point, the 2010 health care law — nicknamed "Obamacare" by opponents — became a rare point of lighthearted banter during the debate.
"Obamacare is on my list," Romney said in listing programs he would eliminate. "I apologize, Mr. President. I use the term with all respect, by the way." Romney grinned and chuckled in Obama's direction.
But Obama absorbed the critique by embracing the term. "I like it," Obama replied to Romney, smiling.
Later in the debate, Obama brought it up on his own. "I have become fond of this term, 'Obamacare,' " the president said grinning.

WYNANTSKILL, N.Y. -- It's now to honor our kid of the week. This week we salute 8-year-old Shay Kerwin of Wynantskill.
His father died suddenly in February. In a tribute to his Dad, Shay is raising money to fight heart disease. He entered the American Heart Association's Heart Walk and is currently the event's top individual fundraiser!
He has handled the loss of his dad with more strength and maturity than most adults could, and he has been an inspiration to his dad's friends and family. His family said they look forward to walking with Shay on May 12th in honor of his Dad.

Doug Stanhope: "I hate London more than anything in the world"
The Skinny: How's your morning going?
Doug Stanhope: "Well, I'm alive."
TS: And hungover?
DS: "Actually, I just call them mornings now."
Relaxing in his bathtub Stanhope comes across as comfortable, content and surprisingly personable. He interviews well and speaks openly, honestly and often misguidedly about any topic you wish to throw at him. We found it appropriate to discuss Scotland given the the circumstance ahead of his upcoming tour and more importantly: independence and the possible break up of the United Kingdom..
"I think it's great. Personally, for me, all it means is that it's just another fucking border I have to go through to work. But yeah, I wish the 50 states would break up. Lose the centralised government. More choice. How do you want to live, there's 50 different ways! You hate black people? We've a state for that. You wanna have an abortion? Here's a state. You like drugs? Here's a state. I think we should just keep breaking up countries now so they become just individuals. It's the borders that are a pain in the ass.
"I mean the problems over there are so deeply rooted. I've done bits on it and it's like people hate each other for reasons that are centuries old and might not even be actual stories. I remember the first time I played Scotland the only thing you have to remember is, 'Don't fuck this up and call this England'."
Being Irish I'm interested to find out what he thinks of us too. "I love Ireland. I mean, I hate the whole fucking island, in terms of weather and shit it just depresses me, but as far as people go I fucking love Ireland. I love Scotland too. I remember we did Aberdeen last year and that was a fucking blast." And England? "I hate London. I hate London more than anything in the world."
He's just as at home discussing national politics as he is discussing booze: "I mean I don't drink for the flavour but you guys drink like you've got a gunshot wound and you need to kill the pain immediately;" or neds: "I'll never forget the day someone said to me, 'fuck them they're neds'. But they just look like some bags of shit. I suppose they could be quite dangerous but they just look like some retarded homeless orphans." Stanhope is a journalist's dream.
Proving this, at the end of the interview he openly requests I make up as much stuff as possible about him. "Write it up however you like and feel free to include giant lies! If you put in whatever you want, say that I said them, and I'll back you up. Makes the creative writing process more fun." So, for the record, Stanhope's favourite movie is 50/50, he's got chronic tuberculosis and his favourite tipple is Buckfast.

Washington state insurance commissioner Mike Kreidler is testifying before Congress today in praise of the implementation of the Obamacare law in our state. In his comments, however, he is unlikely to provide much detail about the hurtful disruption the law and his tough-minded regulatory actions are causing Washington families.
Washington state has been very pro-active about implementing the Affordable Care Act (ACA), or Obamacare. Washington is one of only 15 states to establish a state health insurance exchange. The other 35 states plan to use the federal exchange, which has been plagued by glitches and major problems. Medicaid expansion is a huge part of Obamacare and will be administered through the state exchange. The legislature never took a formal vote on the Medicaid expansion.
Last month, voters in Washington state rejected labeling biotechnology crops, known as "genetically modified organisms" or GMOs. The issue, however, isn't going away. Here are three bits of GMO news and information since the labelling initiative was turned down.

As a beekeeper, I ran across this one in my winter reading.
Sound Transit's Q3 ridership report highlights Central Link's performance. The light rail line experienced 10% growth in ridership both in the quarter and year-to-date.
Yesterday Washington Policy Center released a new paper, "Review of Digital Learning in Private Schools and Public Charter Schools." This paper reviews 6 case studies of schools using new digital learning tools to ease teaching burdens, improve the management of school budgets, and most importantly, improve learning for students.
After going through multiple special sessions to adopt the state's 2013-15 budget, the last thing lawmakers will want to do is fight about a 2014 supplemental budget. State agencies, however, have already submitted their 2014 supplemental budget wish list requesting a combined increase in spending of $895 million and 806 new FTEs.
Last week, in "Union directive a snag to universal preschool," The Seattle Times reported that unions are using a City of Seattle daycare program to boost their dues-paying membership. Outgoing Mayor Mike McGinn is requiring day care providers to give SEIU union organizers personal information about employees who work with children, including employee names and addresses.
Data just released from AAA reveals that Washington State's gas prices are averaging $3.31 per gallon. Yet that's not the real price. The real price of a gallon of gas at the pump is $2.75; the remaining 55.9¢ is the tax collector's share, a 20% tax rate at the current price.
Consumers have a right to know exactly what they are paying in taxes. Utah, for example, posts the federal and state gas taxes on a sticker at the pump. It should also be a separate line item on the receipt.
Donna Blankenship has a good article describing the parent and community-based groups that are working to expand education opportunities for children by opening a charter school in Washington. You can read the article here.
Last week representatives of the business community received a copy of the Department of Labor & Industries' (L&I) snapshot comparison of workers' compensation benefits and employer costs in Washington and five other aerospace states. The L&I chart was presented in a legislative task force meeting on Boeing's 777x.
When Spokane voters this year passed Proposition 2 – requiring a two-thirds vote of the city council or voter approval in order to raise taxes – opponents said the higher standard would make it impossible for to raise the revenue needed to run the city. At the time, Spokane City Council President Ben Stuckart said it would "kill government." A local left-wing newspaper columnist said it would Eastern Washington Add new comment Read more

The state's Climate Legislative Executive Workgroup (CLEW) is examining policies designed to reduce the state's carbon emissions. The key tool in that process is supposed to be a report analyzing the effectiveness of those strategies. The report, however, provides very little useful information about what strategies are best.

And you know what that means, don't you?
NACHOS! NACHOS and BEER!
(you should be aware that I love nachos. It's almost unhealthy. I'd pick a specific blog link to prove this to you, but it is peppered throughout my blog.)
And Mark says HOTDOGS! But I say no, not hotdogs. Except the hot dog race at the beginning of each game, where ketchup, mustard, and onion hotdog guys race around the track and I cheer on mustard while I eat my nachos. I am sort of disenchanted with the hotdog race, though, now that I found out that the race is totally rigged. (HA! You didn't know that? Now we're all sad. I feel better....)
The last few years, we've gone to at least 6 regular season games. The main attraction for Mark is good old American baseball (and, as mentioned, weiners). The main attraction for me is obviously the nachos and beer, since I mostly hate sports and wholly love nachos and beer.
Nachos and beer are pretty expensive at the ballpark. A luxury, if you will. (I say you can put no price on nachos, but whatever.) For $5, you get a decent-sized bowl of chips and TWO GIANT CUPS of delicious nacho cheese. They try to give you one cup of cheese and one cup of salsa, but I am having none of that crap. I want my two cups of cheese so that I can go sit and watch baseball and literally watch my pants become too tight. $5 for nachos wouldn't be so bad if we split the nachos, but I am having none of that crap, either. I do not share nachos.
The past few seasons of our stellar baseball attendance have happened to coincide with the past few years of our Adventures in Infertility and Moron Management. Which also happened to coincide with my need to eat nachos (and any other food left laying around) and drink beer.
(Sometimes, I eat food out of a person's hand when it's in mid air, on the way to their mouth. Then I say, "HA! Too slow!")
Anyway, in order to soothe my misery of infertility and baseball, I began to splurge on an additional addiction - $6.75 plastic cups of beer.
So how many orders of $5 nachos and $6.75 plastic cups of beer can a 5"1' girl drink at a baseball game? Well, I don't know for sure because I think it's a complicated computation that involves trigonometry and statistics, divided by the rate of expansion of the waistline, and maybe a warning from the surgeon general. Squared. (My educated guess is 1 nacho, 2ish beer. Rounded.)
By now you're undoubtedly wondering...what is my point? Well, I really don't have one, and I was really hoping to come up with something brilliant while writing. Like always. Because I'm brilliant on a daily basis, sometimes more than once. And maybe now you're thinking that I have to be building up to something very real. Very proufound, perhaps?
It's doubtful. I mean, I'm talking about beer and nachos here, people.
But really, I think my point is that I hope I won't be able to drink beer this summer. I hope I have to go and eat my nachos and watch baseball sober. I hope to replace my $6.75 plastic cup of beer with a $7 ice cream cone. I hope I get to watch my waistline expand for a positive reason, and not because sometimes food is the only thing that makes me feel better.
I hope that our Adventures in Infertility will be on hold for a while, and that I will only have to continue on with the Moron Management.
Really? I'd just like to have a baby.

Student Code of Conduct
III. Judicial Procedures
Charges of violations of the Student Code of Conduct may be lodged against any student or student organization by any employee, student, or student organization of West Chester University. The director of judicial affairs and student assistance should be consulted with regard to the proper form and language of a complaint.
All charges of violations of the Code of Conduct shall be lodged with the director of judicial affairs and student assistance or designee and shall be heard by a University hearing officer or board under the supervision of the director. The scheduling of conferences and hearings by an officer or board is at the discretion of the director of judicial affairs and community development or designee. The process for selection of judicial board members and the procedure for requesting a judicial board are available in the Office of Judicial Affairs and Student Assistance.
Students shall receive written notice of charges, including, as nearly as possible, the date of occurrence, and the rules of conduct allegedly violated by the student. This notice will include a reasonable sufficient interval to allow the student to prepare a response to the allegation(s). Offenses occurring at the end of any semester will be adjudicated within a time deemed appropriate and reasonable by the director of judicial affairs and student assistance.
At a conference, students or student organizations will be given the opportunity to (1) waive their right to a hearing and admit responsibility for the violations, or (2) to request a formal hearing. Any student or student organization who fails to appear at an initial conference will be automatically scheduled for a second judicial conference and may be subject to additional disciplinary action (See Section I., Violation 19). Any students or student organizations who fail to appear at the second scheduled judicial conference consent to the conducting of said conference in their absence.
Students and student organizations are entitled to a judicial hearing. The purpose of a
is to hear the facts and circumstances of the alleged incident and to accept all evidence and statements offered during the hearing in order to determine the student's or student organization's level of responsibility. In determining whether a violation has occurred, a "preponderance of evidence" standard is applied. This means the Hearing Officer or Board must determine if the testimony and evidence presented suggests it is "more likely than not" that a violation occurred. There are two types of hearings - an administrative hearing and a judicial board hearing.
At a
that is initially scheduled or that is requested by a student or student organization, the following procedure will be followed:
Hearings shall proceed to the extent possible according to the following form:
The hearing officer/board shall open the proceedings by reading the statement of charges.
Before presenting any testimony, each witness must submit to an oath where he or she swears and affirms the truth of statements to be made.
The charging party shall then present its case against the referred party. This shall be done by the submission of written, physical, and testimonial evidence. The referred party and the hearing officer/board shall have the right to conduct reasonable questioning of the charging party and the charging party's witnesses.
At the conclusion of the charging party's presentation, the referred party shall present a response to the charges. This shall be done by the submission of written, physical, and testimonial evidence. The charging party and the hearing officer/board shall have the right to conduct reasonable questioning of the referred party and the referred party's witnesses.
At the close of the hearing, the hearing officer/board may allow closing statements by the parties, which may include rebuttal comments.
The hearing officer/board shall be responsible for maintaining order and room decorum, and may make all rules reasonable and necessary for the orderly and efficient disposition of cases. All hearings are closed proceedings.
Any person who commits an action that interrupts the proceedings or refuses to comply with a reasonable order of the hearing officer/board shall be subject to removal from the hearing.
The hearing officer/board shall have the power to direct the time of entrance and exit of witnesses for all parties in the hearing.
All matters upon which the decision will be based must be introduced into evidence at the hearing. Adjudication will be based upon presented evidence sufficient to make a reasonable person believe that a fact sought to be proved is more likely true than not;
Students shall have the right to be assisted by one adviser, who may be an attorney and may be present at hearings. The adviser may only consult and interact privately with the student.
All hearings will be recorded. Maintenance of a written or audiotape record of the hearing will be done at the University's expense, but students may be required to pay the cost of copies of requested records. If such records contain sensitive or confidential information, a request for a copy will be denied.
In addition to testimony and evidence presented at a conference or hearing, a hearing officer/board may consider the following elements before rendering a sanction:
Academic records and class year;
Previous discipline record including that which is public record;
Attitude of the accused during the conference and/or hearing.
Any students or student organizations who fail to appear at a scheduled judicial hearing consent to the conducting of said judicial hearing in their absence.
The hearing officer/board shall be responsible for ensuring that each student is afforded due process during all conferences and hearings, whether or not the student is present.
A written adjudication in which the facts and reasons for the decision are set forth with reasonable specificity shall be issued within 30 University business days after the close of the proceedings.
Pending action on the charges, the student's status shall not be altered nor shall the student's right to be present on campus or to attend classes be suspended, except for reasons relating to his or her physical or emotional safety and well-being or for reasons relating to the safety of students, employees, personnel, or University property (See Sanction A.6 Interim Disciplinary Suspension).
The University retains the right to continue a hearing whenever necessary and appropriate.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The Providence Preservation Society is acquiring the historic Brick School House from the city with the help of private grant.
The group has received a $341,500 grant from The Champlin Foundations to acquire the property on Meeting Street, one of a few remaining 18th century buildings in Providence. It has leased the building since the 1960s.
The Brick School House, built in 1769, was one of the first public schools in the U.S. and the first in Rhode Island to educate African-American children. Members of Brown University's governing board met there in the 1770s to determine where to locate the college.
The society plans to renovate the building's exterior. The property will eventually be used as a preservation education center and include the society's preservation library and archive.

45 percent containment on deadly Arizona fire
Thursday - 7/4/2013, 4:28am  ET
Associated Press
YARNELL, Ariz. (AP) -- Hundreds of firefighters battling a blaze outside the mountain town of Yarnell came off the line Wednesday to salute a procession of fire vehicles that had been left by 19 elite Hotshot crew members killed in the line of duty.
The firefighters gathered along a highway to honor the Prescott-based unit on the same day that they reported significant progress in controlling the deadly blaze. The fire is now 45 percent contained, up from 8 percent earlier in the day, and authorities say the figure could change in the next day as they compile a more complete picture with sophisticated mapping techniques.
The vehicles were driven by fellow Prescott firefighters. One of the trucks held backpacks, water jugs and coolers. Another was emblazoned with the group's motto, in Latin: "To be, rather than to seem." As the vehicles drove through downtown Prescott, they were greeted by a large crowd that lined the street and waved flags and cheered the motorcade.
Fire crews across the U.S. also paused throughout the day to remember the Granite Mountain Hotshots and recognize the dangers firefighters face, said Jim Whittington, spokesman for the multiagency Southwest Incident Command Team. Gov. Jan Brewer said she would fly Arizona flags at half-staff for 19 days for each firefighter lost.
A memorial service for all 19 firefighters has been set for Tuesday in the city of Prescott Valley at an arena that is home to a minor league hockey team. The arena can hold 6,000 people, and an overflow area may be set up outside.
"One of the things that defines the entire wildland firefighting community is we don't forget," he said, adding that crews pay tribute every year to those who have died in the nation's worst firefighting disasters.
"And we will remember this one," he said, his voice shaking. "It's tough."
In the biggest loss of U.S. firefighters since 9/11, violent wind gusts on Sunday turned what was believed to be a manageable lightning-ignited forest fire in the town of Yarnell into a death trap that left no escape for the team of Hotshots, most of them in the prime of their lives.
Fire investigators seeking to determine what went wrong were expected to make their way Wednesday to the site where the bodies were found to get their first look at the scene, a mountainous spot near Yarnell, said Mike Dudley of the U.S. Forest Service who is on the team looking into the deaths.
The investigation will include examining radio logs, the fire site and weather reports. They'll also surely talk to the sole survivor of the blaze, the lookout who warned his fellow firefighters and friends that the wildfire was switching directions and heading straight for them.
At one point, the blaze raced four miles in just 20 minutes, fed by the dry brush and 41 mph winds, said Yavapai County Sheriff's Capt. Jeff Newnum.
Nearly 600 firefighters were fighting the blaze Wednesday, which has burned about 13 square miles. Hundreds were evacuated and crews erected perimeters around the homes.
The hope is to allow residents back into their homes over the weekend and contain the fire by July 12.
The blaze has damaged or destroyed more than 100 homes and buildings, according to the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office. Officials earlier had provided different estimates ranging from 50 to 250 homes and other buildings lost in Yarnell, a town of about 700 people. The number has fluctuated because of limited access to the community.
Reporters on Wednesday were allowed into a section of the fire area, where charred pine trees resembled burnt toothpicks sticking out of the hillsides.
The ground was covered in a blackened patchwork, and the higher mountains behind the hills were speckled by pink retardant. The yards and driveways of a few isolated homes were marked by the spots of controlled fires set by firefighters to beat back the blaze.
The area was dusty and smoky but there were no visible flames.
Fire officials did not take journalists near where the bodies of the 19 firefighters were found.
Only one member of the crew, identified Tuesday as 21-year-old lookout Brendan McDonough, survived. After radioing others about the growing danger, McDonough made it to safety, while the rest were overtaken by the blaze.
The team of investigators, comprised of forest managers and safety experts, was expected to release a preliminary report in days.
"We have a responsibility to those lost and their loved ones, as well as to current and future wildland firefighters, to understand what happened as completely as possible," Arizona State Forester Scott Hunt said in a statement.

Recipe from Good Food magazine, February 2009
Comments, questions and tips
Delicious! Did this as a mothers day starter and it was loved by everyone. We served it with crusy bread and the horseradish cream on the side (not everyone wanted it), Will definitely be making this again. It's on the expensive side (the prawns and salmon cost us £5, but it does look and taste very special)
Sorry to be negative but the dressing was horrible. The other ingredients are great - you buy them and put them on the plate so no cookery skills needed there but the dressing was really awful and would have spoilt the expensive ingredients.
Sorry Good Food, the first time I haven't enjoyed one of your recipes.
I have made this several times now and it has always been delicious and very well received. A couple of tips worth considering are to be fairly generous with the horseradish sauce (I don't think the amount stated is nearly enough) and don't make the salad dressing very far in advance as the lovely, vibrant green of the lime zest fades really quickly (it still tastes delicious, just doesn't look quite so good). I have also fiddled around adding gravadlax instead of smoked salmon and also adding some crab in with the prawns. All variations have been equally delicious!
Just made this for two and ate it in the garden on a beautiful evening. Very very tasty. Just right for people like me who are not the best cooks and get flustered with too many courses/too many ingredients/too much cooking etc. My partner (who is rather fussy) said it was sublime. It was really really good. I'm giving it a 4 star just because it's quite expensive to make.

Director's Note
to the second season of
Mustard Seed Theatre...
The joyful melodies and hopeful message of Smoke on the Mountain are a reflection of our delight in embarking on a second season. We are happy to share the stories and songs of the Sanders Family with you.
The characters in Smoke on the Mountain share contemporary concerns about money and jobs - while set in 1938, the play mirrors current economic concerns. Along with those worries, we see a family dealing with growing pains: teenage rebellion and uncertainty, sibling discord, the death of a parent. But through it all, the Sanders Family (and Pastor Oglethorpe) see their faith as a lighthouse guiding them through the stormy waters. Their conviction that life will end with "No Tears in Heaven" gives them strength and peace.
We hope that the struggles and triumphs of the Sanders Family resonate in your life. Mustard Seed Theatre remains committed to producing compelling professional theatre that explores our relationship to God and our ethical responsibility to the world.
Our season continues with a staged reading of Mother Teresa is Dead, by Helen Edmundson, December 5-8, 2008. Exploring the complex issues of poverty and responsibility, this play is part of our Dijon Discussion series -- designed to cultivate dialogue about issues of social justice and faith. The series continues March 6 - 15, 2009 with An Almost Holy Picture by Heather McDonald. Starring Gary Wayne Barker, this one-man show delves into the life of a grief-stricken pastor trying to find answers.
Our second season will close with Lynda Barry's The Good Times Are Killing Me, April 17-May 3, 2009. Set in a racially-divided 1962, this poignant and funny drama explores the friendship between 12-year olds experiencing puberty, prejudice, rock music and the accelerating civil rights movement on the streets of an ever-changing blue-collar neighborhood.
We hope that you'll enjoy this night of music and laughter and join us for our upcoming productions. Thanks for sharing your time with us!

Facebook general counsel exiting company
Ted Ullyot will depart his post as the social network's head lawyer. Ullyot was the company's first general counsel and one of its first "grown-ups."
Facebook Vice President and General Counsel Ted Ullyot is leaving the social network after nearly five years on the job.
"Ted has been a valued member of Facebook's leadership who built our legal team through an intense 5-year period in which we faced complex and high-stakes legal issues of all types. We wish him the best of luck in the future," Facebook spokesperson Tucker Bounds said in a statement to CNET.
Ullyot, a Harvard graduate, joined Facebook as the company's first general counsel in October 2008 and was one of the then young company's first "grown-ups."
Related posts
Before Facebook, Ullyot was a partner at Washington D.C. law firm Kirkland & Ellis. He also served as general counsel for AOL Time Warner Europe and worked in the White House as a deputy assistant to former President George W. Bush.
