The Wall Street Journal's Bret Stephens used the possibility of military intervention in Syria to rewrite the history of the Iraq war, falsely claiming the Bush administration's case against Iraq was supported by solid evidence.
Stephens, the Journal's foreign-affairs columnist and deputy editorial page editor for international opinion pages, criticized the Obama administration's case for intervention in Syria by comparing it to Bush's decision to invade Iraq, which he claimed was made based on "highly detailed" intelligence revealing weapons of mass destruction. Stephens claimed the "testimony of U.N. inspectors like Hans Blix" supported the Bush administration's case for war, and accusations that the Bush administration lied were "libel" and "cheap slander":
Then there's the intel. In London the other day, Mr. Kerry invited the public to examine the administration's evidence of Assad's use of chemical weapons, posted on whitehouse.gov. The "dossier" consists of a 1,455-word document heavy on blanket assertions such as "we assess with high confidence" and "we have a body of information," and "we have identified one hundred videos."
By contrast, the Bush administration made a highly detailed case on Iraqi WMD, including show-and-tells by Colin Powell at the Security Council. It also relied on the testimony of U.N. inspectors like Hans Blix, who reported in January 2003 that "there are strong indications that Iraq produced more anthrax than it declared," that his inspectors had found "indications that the [nerve agent VX] was weaponized," and that Iraq had "circumvented the restrictions" on the import of missile parts.
The case the Bush administration assembled on Iraqi WMD was far stronger than what the Obama administration has offered on Syria. And while I have few doubts that the case against Assad is solid, it shouldn't shock Democrats that the White House's "trust us" approach isn't winning converts. When you've spent years peddling the libel that the Bush administration lied about Iraq, don't be shocked when your goose gets cooked in the same foul sauce.
So what should President Obama say when he addresses the country Tuesday night? He could start by apologizing to President Bush for years of cheap slander. He won't.
But Hans Blix told CNN in 2004 that the Bush administration "chose to ignore" his team's concerns about the lack of solid evidence in favor of war, and that prior to the invasion the evidence of WMDs in Iraq was revealed to be "shaky":
"I think it's clear that in March, when the invasion took place, the evidence that had been brought forward was rapidly falling apart," Hans Blix, who oversaw the agency's investigation into whether Iraq had chemical and biological weapons, said on CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer."
Blix described the evidence Secretary of State Colin Powell presented to the U.N. Security Council in February 2003 as "shaky," and said he related his opinion to U.S. officials, including national security adviser Condoleezza Rice.
"I think they chose to ignore us," Blix said.
Furthermore, an investigation into the lead up to the Iraq war found that statements President Bush made about Iraq misled the American people and Congress by inaccurately depicting the available intelligence. The 2008 Senate Intelligence Committee's report found that "policymakers' statements" in particular misrepresented the nature of contacts between Iraq and Al Qaeda, and that Bush's allegations "that Iraq and al-Qa'ida had a partnership" were "not substantiated by the intelligence." The report also found that statements by Bush and Vice President Cheney indicating that Saddam Hussein was prepared to give WMDs to terrorists for use against the U.S. "were contradicted by available intelligence information."
While there are serious questions about the wisdom of using military force in Syria, any debate must include the facts -- not the Journal's fanciful rewriting of history.
From the September 5 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:

Fox News' Brian Kilmeade whitewashed the history of the Iraq war, misleadingly implying the diplomatic community supported military intervention, to claim that the Obama administration should respond to the conflict in Syria with similar military force.
Amid reports that the Syrian government launched a possible attack with chemical weapons against civilians, the Obama administration announced it is gathering more information and waiting for the findings of a United Nations investigation into the attack before taking action. But before the facts have become clear, media figures have rushed to push for U.S. military intervention against the Bashar Assad regime. The New York Times reported that while some senior officials "from the Pentagon, the State Department and the intelligence agencies" think intervention is necessary, others "argue that military action now would be reckless and ill timed."
Fox News hosts dismissed these experts' concerns to beat the drums of war, with Fox & Friends guest co-host Tucker Carlson falsely claiming "there's no doubt now [chemical weapons] have been used," and co-host Brian Kilmeade criticizing the Obama administration's response to the Syrian conflict for not resembling the Bush administration's invasion of Iraq. Kilmeade went on to misleadingly suggest the United Nations supported Bush's actions in Iraq, claiming the 2003 invasion gave "the U.N. teeth for the first time in their history":
KILMEADE: It's just unbelievable that they get on President Bush for saying to Saddam Hussein, you have violated 13 separate U.N. Resolutions. We are willing to back that up and give the U.N. teeth for the first time in their history. And he goes and does that. And the message was sent throughout the Middle East, if you cross a line, there will be action. Even Bill Clinton and Bush 41 enforced a no-fly zone for almost a decade because we backed up what we said we would. And now, our words mean absolutely nothing. You can cross us, you can cross that line and we give you a stern tweet as a retort.
In fact, the United Nations Security Council refused to endorse the invasion of Iraq, and then-U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan "warned the US and its allies a week before the invasion in March 2003 that military action would violate the UN charter." The Security Council had previously told the Iraqi government that there would be "consequences" if they did not meet with certain demands, but as The Guardian reported, Annan said "it should have been up to the council to determine what those consequences were."
Annan also made clear in the year following the invasion that according to the U.N., U.S. military intervention in Iraq was "illegal":
Mr. Annan was repeatedly asked whether the war was "illegal." "Yes," he finally said, "I have indicated it is not in conformity with the UN Charter, from our point of view, and from the Charter point of view it was illegal."
The Secretary-General said the war in Iraq and its aftermath had brought home painful lessons about the importance of resolving use-of-force issues jointly through the UN. "I think that in the end everybody is concluding that it is best to work together with allies and through the UN to deal with some of those issues.
"And I hope we do not see another Iraq-type operation for a long time," the Secretary-General told the interviewer, noting that such action needed UN approval and a much broader support of the international community.
The Bush administration's rush to invade Iraq was based on the claim that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and was still pursuing a nuclear weapons program, a claim that has been thoroughly discredited. U.N. weapons experts told CNN in 2004 that they had cautioned the Bush administration prior to the invasion that any evidence of WMDs in Iraq was "shaky," but that the administration "chose to ignore" the lack of solid evidence in favor of war -- a war that lasted nearly a decade and resulted in thousands of American deaths and the deaths of many more Iraqis.
But rather than wait for United Nations inspectors and the U.S. intelligence community to determine whether or not chemical weapons have been used in Syria, and then to assess the best course of action in response, Fox News hosts would rather rush into the conflict and forget the past.
From the June 25 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Sean Hannity Show:

Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin is seizing on a recent poll showing that George W. Bush's approval numbers are up to declare "Bush is back," arguing that America is starting to appreciate Bush's policies in the light of what she calls the "rotten" Obama presidency. To make her case, Rubin neatly excises from Bush's record every single massive failure and disaster that resulted in Bush leaving office as one of the least popular presidents in history.
Rubin managed to cram so much misinformation and nonsense into seven short paragraphs that it's tough to pick a place to start, but this one is worthy of special attention:
Why the shift? Aside from the "memories fade" point, many of his supposed failures are mild compared to the current president (e.g. spending, debt). Unlike Obama's tenure, there was no successful attack on the homeland after 9/11. People do remember the big stuff -- rallying the country after the Twin Towers attack, 7 1/2 years of job growth and prosperity, millions of people saved from AIDS in Africa, a good faith try for immigration reform, education reform and a clear moral compass.
"Aside from the 'memories fade' point, many of his supposed failures are mild compared to the current president (e.g. spending, debt)." Funny thing about those "spending" and "debt" failures of Obama's that make Bush's supposedly seem so mild: Bush-era policies are responsible for the lion's share of the current public debt and will continue exacerbating the debt situation long after President Obama has left office.
"Unlike Obama's tenure, there was no successful attack on the homeland after 9/11." This is false. There were a number of successful terrorist attacks between 9-11 and the end of the Bush presidency, most prominently the DC-area sniper attacks of 2002. But I'm dodging the real problem, which is the phrase "after 9/11." Her argument -- an argument she's made before -- is that the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history, despite happening on Bush's watch, doesn't count against Bush. Why? She doesn't say. Rubin doesn't allow Obama any terrorism Mulligans, calling his record "spotty at best with Benghazi, Libya, Boston and Fort Hood."
Fox News suggested that an attack in Syria might have involved chemical weapons from Iraq, pushing a conspiracy theory that Saddam Hussein hid WMD in other countries prior to the Iraq war. Fox made a similar claim just two days ago.
On March 19, the Syrian government and Syrian rebels accused each other of launching a chemical weapon attack within the country. The United States government has said there is no confirmation that such a strike occurred, but the United Nations announced on March 21 that it will investigate the accusations that chemical weapons were used.
On the March 22 edition of Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade asked Fox News military analyst and birther Thomas McInerney: "What are the chances of the return address on these chemicals being from Iraq?" McInerney said that this was conjecture but that there was still a high probability of that being the case, explaining: "[W]e do know prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom that there was a lot of vehicles crossing the border into Syria ... I think that it would be a very high probability if we could get into those bunkers, that they would have Iraqi signatures on them."
The claim that Iraq transferred WMD to other countries before the U.S.-led invasion is not supported by evidence.
In 2004, the CIA's Iraq Survey Group (ISG) released a report that found that Iraq "ended the nuclear program in 1991 following the Gulf war. ISG found no evidence to suggest concerted efforts to restart the program." The report further stated, "While a small number of old, abandoned chemical munitions have been discovered, ISG judges that Iraq unilaterally destroyed its undeclared chemical weapons stockpile in 1991."
The ISG also concluded that after 1995, Iraq "abandoned its existing [biological warfare] program in the belief that it constituted a potential embarrassment, whose discovery would undercut Baghdad's ability to reach its overarching goal of obtaining relief from UN sanctions." The report stated that Iraq appeared to have destroyed its undeclared stocks of biological warfare-related weapons in 1991 and 1992.
A 2005 Associated Press report stated that intelligence officials said they found no evidence "indicating that WMD or significant amounts of components and equipment were transferred from Iraq to neighboring Syria, Jordan or elsewhere." The AP report continued:
The Iraq Survey Group's chief, Charles Duelfer, is expected to submit the final installments of his report in February. A small number of the organization's experts will remain on the job in case new intelligence on Iraqi WMD is unearthed.
But the officials familiar with the search say U.S. authorities have found no evidence that former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein transferred WMD or related equipment out of Iraq.
Last week, a congressional official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said suggestions that weapons or components were sent from Iraq were based on speculation stemming from uncorroborated information.
On the March 20 edition of America's Newsroom, Fox News' Oliver North made a similar claim of the Iraq war, saying: "We got rid of a brutal despot who used chemical and biological weapons against his own people. Weapons of mass destruction that he probably exported to Sudan before we got there."
Fox News covered this week's tenth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq the least of the three major cable networks. MSNBC provided more coverage than Fox and CNN combined.
From March 18 through March 20, MSNBC devoted more than four and a half hours of coverage to the Iraq anniversary. CNN spent 2 hours and five minutes on the story, while Fox News covered it for only an hour and twenty one minutes.
This study is a tally of the raw volume of Iraq anniversary coverage and did not take into account the quality of the content.
For example, Fox News segments included in the study include one in which an anchor questioned criticism of the media's coverage of the Bush administration's case for war, and another in which a Fox host declared the invasion "the smartest thing George Bush did."
While much of MSNBC's coverage was focused on the heavy toll of the war, segments like Morning Joe's report falsely claiming Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) originally supported the invasion (and co-host Joe Scarborough's subsequent apology for doing so) were also counted.
After being sold on faulty pretenses, according to a recent Brown University study, the war in Iraq cost the lives of 4,488 U.S. service members, at least 3,400 U.S. contractors, and an estimated 134,000 Iraqi civilians. (The study clarifies that the estimate for civilian deaths "does not account for indirect deaths due to increased vulnerability to disease or injury as a result of war-degraded conditions. That number is estimated to be several times higher.")
The Brown University study estimates the war "will cost the U.S. $2.2 trillion, including substantial costs for veterans care through 2053, far exceeding the initial government estimate of $50 to $60 billion."
Media Matters searched raw video for any variation of "Iraq" on CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC's all-day news programming (from 6 a.m. through 11 p.m.) for the day before, of, and after the Iraq War's 10th anniversary, March 18 through 20, 2013. We did not include repeats of programs; for instance, even through MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews airs at both 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., we only included the 5 p.m. broadcast. We included and timed any teasers, promos, news briefs, news packages, and full segments on the Iraq war anniversary as well as any relevant parts of interviews and panels discussing the Iraq war. We did not including any passing mentions of the Iraq war made in segments on other topics, such as the frequent invoking of the Iraq war during segments about the recent allegations of chemical weapon use in Syria.
Oliver Willis contributed research to this report.
Fox News host Oliver North revived the discredited claim that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction to justify the American-led invasion of that country 10 years ago.
During an America's Newsroom segment on the 10-year anniversary of the Iraq war, North explained why he thought the war was "worth it," saying: "We got rid of a brutal despot who used chemical and biological weapons against his own people. Weapons of mass destruction that he probably exported to Sudan before we got there."
The claim that Iraq possessed WMD at the time of the invasion has been long debunked.
In 2004, the CIA's Iraq Survey Group (ISG) released a report that found that Iraq "ended the nuclear program in 1991 following the Gulf war. ISG found no evidence to suggest concerted efforts to restart the program." The report further stated, "While a small number of old, abandoned chemical munitions have been discovered, ISG judges that Iraq unilaterally destroyed its undeclared chemical weapons stockpile in 1991."
ISG also concluded that after 1995, Iraq "abandoned its existing [biological warfare] program in the belief that it constituted a potential embarrassment, whose discovery would undercut Baghdad's ability to reach its overarching goal of obtaining relief from UN sanctions." The report stated that Iraq appeared to have destroyed its undeclared stocks of biological warfare-related weapons in 1991 and 1992.
As for North's claim that WMD were transferred out of Iraq, intelligence officials have said they found no evidence that weapons or related equipment were moved. From the Associated Press:
[I]ntelligence and congressional officials say they have not seen any information -- never "a piece," said one -- indicating that WMD or significant amounts of components and equipment were transferred from Iraq to neighboring Syria, Jordan or elsewhere.
Last week, a congressional official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said suggestions that weapons or components were sent from Iraq were based on speculation stemming from uncorroborated information.

On the tenth anniversary of the American-led invasion of Iraq, Media Matters looks back at the work of some of the media's most prominent pro-war voices. Instead of facing consequences for backing the invasion based on information that turned out to be false and criticizing war opponents, many of these media figures continue to hold positions of influence and continue to provide foreign policy reporting and commentary.
MSNBC's Morning Joe selectively edited comments Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) gave in 2002 to assert that she was "beating the drums of war" in the run up to the Iraq war, but the highlighted comments come from a speech in which Pelosi urged Congress to vote against authorizing the use of force in Iraq.
During Morning Joe's coverage of the 10-year anniversary of the Iraq war, co-host Mika Brzezinski introduced a prepared video montage on how "it was a lot easier for some members of Congress to support the conflict before they were against it." Co-host Joe Scarborough provided the voice-over in the video, and claimed it showed how "the very same people who spent years beating up George Bush were the very ones beating the drum for Iraq's regime change and Saddam Hussein's ouster."
The video juxtaposes comments made by members of Congress purportedly "beating the drum for Iraq's regime change," against later comments by the same members of Congress criticizing President Bush over the war. One of the voices Scarborough highlights is Pelosi, shown in the video saying:
I applaud the President on focusing on this issue and on taking the lead to disarm Saddam Hussein.
But contrary to what Morning Joe implied, these comments come from a floor speech Pelosi gave in 2002 opposing the Iraq war, arguing that it would weaken the country by diverting resources from the war on terror (portion MSNBC aired in bold):
I come to this debate, Mr. Speaker, at the end of 10 years of service on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where stopping the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction was one of my top priorities. I applaud the President's focusing on this issue, and on taking the lead to disarm Saddam Hussein.
It is from the perspective of 10 years on the Intelligence Committee that I rise in opposition to this resolution on national security grounds. The clear and present danger that our country faces is terrorism. I say flat out that unilateral use of force without first exhausting every diplomatic remedy and other remedies and making a case to the American people will be harmful to our war on terrorism.
Pelosi concluded her speech by urging her House colleagues to vote "No" on the resolution authorizing the use of force in Iraq, as she did.
UPDATE: On the March 20th edition of Morning Joe, the hosts issued a correction and apologized for the mistake, showing the clip of Rep. Pelosi in full context and acknowledging her opposition to authorizing the use of force in Iraq in 2002.
Fox News anchor Jon Scott let the media off the hook for their unskeptical coverage leading up to the invasion of Iraq ten years ago.
Former Meet The Press moderator Marvin Kalb, appearing on Scott's program, Happening Now, had excoriated the media earlier in the show for failing to critically examine the Bush administration's claims that Saddam Hussein had possessed weapons of mass destruction. Numerous media observers have pointed out that while some journalists pointed out at the time the flaws in the administration's case for war, the media at large did not question its claims.
But Jon Scott, who also hosts Fox News' weekly media criticism show Fox News Watch, disputed Kalb's claim that the media were complacent in the lead-up to the war. Pointing out that intelligence officials had said that Iraq possessed WMD, Scott asked, "How much more skeptical was the press supposed to be?"
Kalb replied by pointing out that Scott was "setting up the Bush administration's case," and explained that it was the media's responsibility to "stand up and say 'let's think about this before we march into war."

Gambo: D-backs never close to trading Upton to Texas
Over the last few days, the most prominent and frequent rumors have had the Texas Rangers strongly pursuing Upton. Friday morning, MLB Network's Peter Gammons went as far to tweet that he witnessed a Rangers official telling an official from the Houston Astros that they had landed Upton.
Not so fast, says Arizona Sports' John Gambadoro on Twitter.
Contrary to reports the Diamondbacks were never close to trading Justin Upton to Texas, that report is 100% false!— John Gambadoro (@Gambo620) December 7, 2012
Acknowledging the absent punctuation that muddles the meaning, the Diamondbacks were never close to making the deal with Texas.
Gambadoro acknowledged in a phone conversation that Arizona does hold Texas shortstops Elvis Andrus and Jurickson Profar in high regard, but Texas isn't interested in moving either player right now.

Its no secret that when people contradict themselves, it has the effect of making the flaws in their actions or statements seem glaringly obvious. But what about when WE ourselves get caught contradicting ourselves by someone else?
Is a seated dumbbell press as effective as a standing barbell press? Thanks in advance.
As effective as what?
Dumbbells require you to use more stabilizing muscles. Standing requires you to use more stabilizing muscles.

I can't say I believe any small-pixel sensor could perform as well as the 1D X.
explain what do you mean with performe as well ?
Well, if you have a 21mp APS-C and an 18mp FF, not even downscaling the APS-C image will normalize noise enough to compare to the 1D X image at high ISO. It has a 91,000 electron full well capacity. Assuming a 21mp APS-C has similar Q.E., a similar CFA, and gets around 27,000 electrons at FWC (similar to the D5200), the 1D X is still going to have a 340% full well capacity advantage. It'll require considerably less gain at high ISO...so, even a fairly revolutionary APS-C sensor design on a 180nm process, even if you normalize the APS-C image to the 1D X image size, is not going to perform as well. The difference between 18mp and 21mp is just not enough for the basic post-process scaling algorithms most photographers have access to to overcome.
Now, if you printed both on an 8x10, the 7D II will have the resolution advantage, and would have sharper detail than the 1D X, and with that much downscaling, the noise and DR differences would be negligible. And, of course, you could print the 7D II image at a slightly larger native size, and if you upscale the 7D II image will retain more detail than the 1D X, even if it appears to be a bit noisier.

Workers of Civicon, LLC wasted no time on demolition, knocking three buildings to the ground in less than 30 minutes. The Tallulah Hotel and portions of the old Piggly Wiggly fell shortly after lunch.
Dozens of people turned out to watch the start of demolition, including a group of 3- and 4-year-olds from Cordova First Baptist preschool.
"They're going to take all those buildings down and we're going to get a new town," director Jenny Wilson told the children.
Mayor Drew Gilbert allowed City Hall to be closed for a time Tuesday morning to allow employees an opportunity to be present for the historic moment.
Main Street holds many memories for city clerk Leanne Dawkins, who worked alongside her mother Elaine Stewart for 22 years in the old City Hall and watched her daughter Danielle lead homecoming parades through town as a cheerleader.
Dawkins said as much as she hated to see downtown go, the main thing she felt on Tuesday was joy.
"It is a sad day for everybody who just reflects on the memories, but I'm looking to the future. We have a mayor and council, committees and so many other people who are working to move Cordova forward. This is a big step in that direction," Dawkins said.
Steve Ostaseski, the city's long term recovery manager, said roads around the site will remain open throughout the project.
Traffic in the area will increase Monday, when the first loads of debris are expected to be hauled away.
The contractor has 60 days to complete the job. The only work stoppages will be on Sundays and for Bo Bikes Bama on Saturday, the second anniversary of the tornado outbreak.

To central Pennsylvania archery enthusiasts, the
Harrisburg Archery Club sign along Roberts Valley Road in Middle Paxton
Township says welcome, year round. Even a polar vortex, and the bitter cold
that comes with it, can't stop this sport.
With old man winter lurking outside, club members sharpen
shooting skills inside. Skills that have earned state and national titles for
several members over the years.
And now there's something new at the club. There is the
chance archery newbies to learn from experts.
Weekly lessons are offered to non-members in response to
a surge in interest in archery.
Club president Ed Feese says the blockbuster movie 'The
Hunger Games," which spotlighted the bow and arrow, is part of the reason
for the explosion of interest in archery, but many class applicants say a
friend or relative got them interested in the sport.
"We have a web site and we have people contacting us
every week," said Feese, "sometimes a couple times a week, wanting to
get instructions."
The one hour sessions emphasize proper form and safety,
with instructors briefing newcomers on the proper way to hold the bow, proper
grip and adherence to safety rules.. Some attendees are part of a one time
group outing, wanting to try something different. Others plan to continue
lessons for some time.
"Most people, like in most sports don't do
everything the correct way and they need a little guidance," said Feese,
while helping a first time archer grip the bow correctly. "And that's what
we try to do."
10 year old Zackary Brookes, already a one year archery
veteran, says he likes the pace of archery.
"It's very relaxing and you don't really have to be
very competitive in the sport," said Brookes.
And with the last name Bowman, perhaps Harrisburg
resident Rebecca Bowman is destined to excel in the sport.
"I really enjoy it. It's a good time," said the
newlywed archer. "I enjoy shooting targets and learning from the experts
here." She hopes to improve enough so she can shoot with her experienced
archer husband.
Feese says class registration already exceeds capacity,
but as slots open up, registrants will be contacted.
It appears the club's long-standing goal of encouraging
non-archers to give the sport a try is right on target.

A Biological Field Station of Kansas State University
Konza Prairie Biological Station (KPBS) is located on a 3,487 hectare native tallgrass prairie preserve jointly owned by The Nature Conservancy and Kansas State University. The KPBS is located in the Flint Hills of northeastern Kansas (39°05' N, 96°35' W), a grassland region of steep-slopes overlain by shallow limestone soils unsuitable for cultivation.
The Flint Hills region encompasses over 1.6 million hectares extending throughout much of eastern Kansas from near the Kansas-Nebraska border south into northeastern Oklahoma, and contains the largest remaining area of unplowed tallgrass prairie in North America. Hence, the vast majority of Konza Prairie, and the surrounding landscape, has not been plowed and retains its native characteristics.
KPBS is operated as a field research station by the KSU Division of Biology. The station is dedicated to a three-fold mission of long-term ecological research, education, and prairie conservation. It is a unique outdoor laboratory that provides opportunities for the study of tallgrass prairie ecosystems and for basic biological research on a wide range of taxa and processes. The station is open to scientists and students from throughout the world.

The goal of restoration ecology is to repair the diversity and dynamics of ecosystems degraded by human activities, but also presents a valuable opportunity for basic research aimed at testing ecological theory. Restoration studies in tallgrass prairie are particularly timely because human activities have resulted in widespread loss and degradation of this ecosystem.

Trying to find just the right gift for someone isnt easy.
This is especially true when it comes to coming up with a gift for a city thats observing its 100th birthday.
Atascadero Kiwanis Club is doing it by building a $125,000 bandstand and donating it to the city on Oct. 20.
Atascadero High School graduate Darin Alvord has composed a centennial symphony. His piece, Of Times Many Waters, is a 24-minute paean to the community in which he grew up. It will be performed by the North County-based chamber orchestra Symphony of the Vines, under the direction of Gregory Magie. The symphony will be performed at the Pavilion at the Lake on Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. Tickets will cost $30.
Atascadero Mayor Tom OMalley and Paso Robles City Councilman Steve Martin are heading up a fundraising effort to provide a venue for Alvords stirring piece of music to be heard. Ive had all three men in class OMalley, Martin and Alvord.
Martin points out that his friends symphony is not only a tribute to the 100-year history of the community, but also to the musical experience that thousands of pupils have received from past band teachers, such as brothers Dick and Marty Baum and Lyle Stubson, who currently plays with the Atascadero Community Band.
The centennial symphony is dedicated to the recognition of these instructors and their musical impact on the youth of Atascadero and the entire community, Martin wrote me recently.
It was Stubson who encouraged Albord to write music. The then-teens first composition was performed by the Atascadero High School band in 1968, followed by two more the next year.
In a news release, Alvord said, I wanted to express the American spirit evident in the ambitious and visionary efforts of the citys founder, E.G. Lewis, as well as the courage and energy of those who traveled from all over the country to be a part of his dream of a utopian, self-sufficient and integrated community.
Martin is heading up a fundraising effort to make the concert happen. It will cost about $10,000 to produce the concert, and he is halfway there.
If you want to help Martin and OMalley (OMalley and Alvord were trumpet players together in the Greyhound band) provide a venue to hear this centennial symphony, you can contact Martin at 296-2487 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. There are several layers of sponsorship available to individuals and businesses.
The Alvord family has already contributed to the citys history with the efforts of Darins dad, Jim, which led to the creation of a baseball field near Atascadero Lake Park.
Lon Allan has lived in Atascadero for nearly five decades and his column is published weekly. Reach him at 466-8529 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

DISTRICT LEAGUE: Swiss Chalet win five-goal thriller
6:00am Tuesday 4th December 2012 in Football
THE poor recent weather meant only three games took place in the Swindon & District League over the weekend, with Swiss Chalet Rangers making the most of their run-out in a 3-2 win over Spectrum.
The Premier Division clash ebbed and flowed, with Gareth Walton firing the hosts ahead before Dave Pritchard netted a second for Rangers.
After half-time two Aaron Northcott goals drew Spectrum back into the contest, and the visitors had a chance to claim all three points when they were awarded a late penalty.
However, the spot kick was missed and Spectrum were made to pay the price when Rangers countered down the other end of the pitch and Daryl Herring scored the winner.
In Division One, Tap and Barrel kept pace with league leaders Old Town United with a 3-1 victory over Ramsbury.
Dave Toomey netted a hat-trick for the hosts, getting Tap off the mark in the 35th minute and firing home the second and third after half-time, while Ramsbury grabbed a late consolation through Jeremy Martin.
Tap are now just three points behind table-topping Old Town.
Sportz Central also enjoyed a successful weekend as they consolidated fifth place in the table with a 3-2 win over Larry's Plaice.
The hosts took an early lead when Ashley Sheppard netted after five minutes and held the advantage for half-an-hour before Alisto Pires equalised for Sportz Central 10 minutes before half-time.
In the second half both sides embarked on free-flowing, attacking football but it took until the 70th minute for the next goal of the game to arrive.
When it did, it was Larry's Plaice who were celebrating after Steve Nichols buried a header in the pack of the net to put them back in front.
However, the visitors quickly rallied and Pires was on hand to level for the second time in the match, before Pete Ockwell rounded over a fine set-piece move with two minutes left of the 90 to hand Sportz Central all three points.

Police have arrested a 21-year-old man who they say sexually abused at least one girl.
Robert Kee June has been booked into jail on 1 count of unlawful imprisonment and 3 counts of sexual abuse.
In February of 2009, a 16-year-old girl reported walking down the street in the area of Highland and 53rd Aves when a male passed her. A few seconds later, the same male came up behind her and covered her mouth with his hands, court documents allege.
The suspect dragged her to an alley where he fondled her over her clothes, the report said. The victim fought him off and scratched him in the process.
DNA was taken from under the victim's fingernails, resulting in a hit in the database. Police identified Robert Kee June as the suspect.
Around this same time, there were two similar incidents in the same area and they were believed to be related.
Detectives were able to find and interview June on October 30, 2012. He denied any involvement in the crime.
However, he agreed to take a polygraph, which he failed. In the second round of questioning, June admitted he must have committed the offense and that he was probably intoxicated at the time, according to court documents. He said he doesn't remember the offense.
Bail was issued in the amount of $25,000.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that video recording of the Proposition 8 trial will remain under seal. "The reason is that Proponents reasonably relied on Chief Judge Walker's specific assurances—compelled by the Supreme Court's just-issued opinion—that the recording would not be broadcast to the public, at least in the foreseeable future," the Court concluded. "In short, the recording cannot be released without undermining the integrity of the judicial system." Read the full decision here.

A father and his 11-month-old son were killed in a single-vehicle car accident Sunday afternoon.
The accident occurred around 3 p.m. in the 5900 block of Pettus Road in Antioch.
According to officials, 24-year-old Ebony Scales lost control of the 2007 Ford Fusion she was driving while turning around a sharp curve.
The vehicle crossed the middle of the road before leaving the roadway and striking a tree.
Scales was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where she was listed in critical but stable condition.
Her passenger, 26-year-old Jonathan Meza, was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead on the scene.
The couple's 11-month-old son, Robert Meza, was critically injured in the crash.
He was taken to Vanderbilt University Children's Hospital where he died shortly after arriving.
According to police, neither adult was wearing a seatbelt at the time of accident. Robert Meza, however, properly restrained in the back seat.
Authorities told Nashville's News 2 that speed may have been a factor in the crash.
"Nobody wants to see children, or anyone else for that matter, involved in a crash, especially when it's possibly attributed to speed or something else like that," said Lt. Michael Gilliland, adding. "It's needless."
Residents of Pettus Road, which is largely comprised of sharp turns and steep hills, say it's not unusual to see people speeding.
"It's not very uncommon for people to be speeding through here," neighbor Christie Mercer said. "I see cars flying through here all the time."
Authorities do not believe alcohol or other substances were involved in the accident.
