Caribou Announces World Tour
By Tom Breihan on March 5, 2010 at 12:35 p.m. EST

On April 20 in North America (April 19 internationally), Canadian psych traveler Caribou will release the new album Swim. We've already dropped a BNM on teaser single "Odessa". If you were hoping that Dan Snaith would maybe accompany that new album with a big international tour this spring, you are in luck.
Caribou will cross Europe in mid-April, and then spend his May and June exploring North America. In the past, Caribou's drum-heavy live assault has been a thing to behold.

Edward Snowden 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
How could it be legal for Americans in Israel to have less privacy protection from US National Security Agency spying than other US citizens? According to top-secret documents produced by Edward Snowden and distributed by the media, the NSA's official rule is not to spy on the communications of US citizens whether they reside in the US or abroad.However, reports mostly by The Guardian and The Washington Post dating back to August, including a new report in the Guardian on Wednesday, suggest that for Americans living abroad, this rule may have at least two gaping holes.First, since August we knew that the NSA can spy on any US citizen communication with a foreign target, and the Snowden documents indicate that any foreign communication is presumed to be, or only needs to meet a very low standard to be declared, with a foreign target.So US citizens living abroad may be presumed to be foreign targets and their communications collected.While highly controversial, there is no easy resolution to this issue, which affects all US citizens abroad, not just in Israel, other than trying to get Congress or the president to change the rules.Second and possibly a larger problem for US citizens in Israel, is a five-page document, titled Memorandum of Understanding between the NSA and its Israeli counterpart (the ISNU), disclosed on Wednesday, which indicates that the US sends "unminimized" communications to Israel, including that of US citizens."Unminimized" means ignoring the various safeguards the NSA usually follows when analyzing these communications, including a process of filtering out all information not relevant to national security.Although the document formally obligates Israel to observe the same safeguards, it does not cite any enforcement mechanism or concrete "teeth" to ensure compliance (though Israel does have several obligations to report certain issues to an NSA liaison).So what is really stopping Israel from misusing this information, especially where it involves US citizens who are dual-Israeli citizens? After the fact, someone could complain that the US had put its citizens in a risky position, but the US would not technically have violated anyone's rights, having instructed Israel to observe the US Constitution's Fourth Amendment protections of privacy rights.How about suing Israel for violation of privacy rights or for its agreement with the US? Not an option. The document itself is technically only a letter of intent, not a contract or an enforceable agreement.Letters of intent or understanding, without a later final contract, are just that, expressions of hope about a relationship between two parties – but not binding.In fact, to keep the agreement classified and away from international judicial bodies, the document specifically says it creates no "legally enforceable rights," is not an "international agreement" and is not "legally binding" under "international law."So the US may be accused of acting irresponsibly or rashly and Israel may have violated the intent of the newly revealed document, but no one's privacy rights will have been violated and certainly no one has a good shot at a lawsuit.Luckily that is probably not the end of the story with the Israel issue.The truth is that the US probably did not sign a binding document with Israel with official "teeth" because it does not need to.Israel is on a very short list of countries which receive massive intelligence information from the NSA.If Israel abuses the relationship, the US can just turn off the faucet.The one extra-legal scenario which still would likely not be covered would be where the NSA is winking at Israel to look under a rock which the NSA itself is not allowed to check.While this does not prevent invasion of US citizens' in Israel privacy on an individual, small-scale basis, it certainly makes it likely that, even without the shadow of a lawsuit, Israel will follow the privacy rights provisions carefully.

Jackie Burroughs
Thursday 18 November 2010
Jackie Burroughs, who died on 22 September aged 71, was best known for her role as the schoolteacher Hetty King on the popular Canadian television series Road to Avonlea.
Born in Lancashire in February 1939, Burroughs moved to Canada when she was 13 and went on to attend the University of Toronto. Her acting career began in summer theatre after she graduated and later included runs at the Stratford Festival. She made more than 75 feature films and received multiple Genies, Geminis and a Governor General's award for her work.
On the screen, she won her first Genie for The Grey Fox and also went on to play Amelia Evans in the 1985 television film Anne of Green Gables. That role landed her a part on Road to Avonlea, where she became a familiar face in the eccentric role of Hetty King, taking home three Geminis.
Her marriage to Zal Yanovsky, a founder-member of The Loving Spoonful, ended soon after their daughter was born. Until recently Burroughs divided her time between a home in Mexico and an apartment in Toronto.

Military drones zero in on $400 bln civilian market
LONDON (Reuters) - Military drone technology, which has revolutionised warfare over the last decade, will be ready for civilian use within four years and could create a market worth more than $400 billion.
That's the prediction from a UK research project backed by the government and top aerospace companies hoping for a windfall as many of the dull, dirty and dangerous jobs done by manned aircraft are replaced by drones.
The consortium behind the programme, which includes BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce, sees potential uses for drones from search and rescue to checking oil pipelines, jobs currently done with expensive aircraft flown by pilots who get tired and often in treacherous conditions.
Unmanned aircraft are already being used in niche areas. They were flown over the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan to check the damage and the British Antarctic Survey has put them to work checking ice and snow conditions.
"You'll be able to do a lot of things you simply can't do with manned aircraft," said Lambert Dopping-Hepenstal, an engineering executive from BAE who is project director at the ASTRAEA programme (Autonomous Systems Technology Related Airborne Evaluation & Assessment).
"We are in the hands of the regulators but within three to four years the technology will be at the right maturity levels," he said.
Dopping-Hepenstal predicted that overcoming public concern about a sky full of autonomous aircraft will probably mean drones are first used in areas away from towns and cities, for sea rescue searches and monitoring fishing grounds.
Chris Elliott, an engineer and barrister who is a consultant to the ASTRAEA project, acknowledged there will be a lot of work needed to win public acceptance but added: "The Pandora's Box is open".
The use of drones in war zones has thrown up difficult ethical issues, particularly on accountability for mistakes, and the shift into civilian use is likely to be just as controversial.
"There is a public perception that has to be understood and correctly informed," said Elliott, arguing that the industry needs to demonstrate safety and address the question of who is accountable should there be an accident.
The research programme is working with the Civil Aviation Authority, which regulates UK air space, to demonstrate that the systems for controlling unmanned aircraft make them at least as safe as those with pilots.
Drones would always be controlled from the ground, as they are in military use, but complex systems for detecting terrain and other objects, from aircraft to skydivers, will mean they can fly themselves if communication links with the ground go down.
"This is in some respects the scary bit" as far as public perception is concerned, said Dopping-Hepenstal.
ASTRAEA estimates that broader use could be worth as much as $62 billion a year to the global aerospace industry by 2020.
Ruth Mallors, director of the UK aerospace Knowledge Transfer Network, said a report this year on the value of all the potential services drones could provide bumps that figure up to over $400 billion a year.
Legislators on both sides of the Atlantic are preparing the ground.
The U.S. Congress passed a bill in February requiring the Federal Aviation Administration to integrate unmanned aircraft systems into regulation by 2015. The European Commission wants to do the same by 2018.
ASTRAEA plans flight tests over the North Sea later this year using a Gulfstream aircraft. It will be set up to fly itself but the test plane will also carry a pilot, for now.

Quickfire Murray sets up semi-final with Nadal, but Federer fades away
Scot brushes aside Lopez to book place in Wimbledon last four as Tsonga's shock win sets up match with Djokovic
Thursday 30 June 2011
Andy Murray took care of business here yesterday with an emphatic straight-sets victory over Feliciano Lopez as one major obstacle to his ambition of winning Wimbledon was removed from his path. Roger Federer, six times a champion at the All England Club, went out in the quarter-finals for the second year in succession when he lost from two sets up for the first time in his Grand Slam career, beaten 3-6, 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 by France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
While Tsonga goes on to face Novak Djokovic in tomorrow's semi-finals, Murray will meet Rafael Nadal, the world No 1, who beat him at the same stage last year and in the quarter-finals three years ago, winning both matches without losing a set. Nadal, who has won the title on his last two visits here, extended his winning run on these courts to 19 matches with a 6-3, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 victory over the American Mardy Fish.
Murray needed just over two hours to beat Lopez 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. The 29-year-old Spaniard appeared tired from his previous exertions in the tournament and never looked likely to stop Murray's progress to his third successive Wimbledon semi-final. "I thought it was good," Murray said afterwards.
"I think Feliciano was a little bit tired. He had a long match in the last round so he struggled a bit with his movement but I thought I served well for most of the match. I was a little bit tentative towards the end of the third set but it was good. I'm playing well. You get pushed more and more as the rounds go on. I'm sure in the next round I'll get pushed even harder and I'll have to up my game again. I've done well so far, but it only gets tougher so I'll need to get better.
"I've played well here. I've played better pretty much every year I've come here. I've lost in the semis the last two years and I want to go further, so I'm looking forward to the next match."
The only slight concern for Murray was a hip injury he appeared to suffer towards the end of the match as he twisted after hitting a backhand. "It just happens sometimes on the grass," he said. "You change direction and your feet can get caught a little bit, but I feel all right." He added: "I'll get treatment for it for sure. All these sorts of things happen during Grand Slams. I had problems during the French Open and the Australian Open. You just have to deal with them. All the players struggle. Rafa's had problems. Some people show them more than others."
Murray said he had been surprised by Federer's defeat. "His record here is incredible, but Tsonga's an exceptional player. He has a huge game on the grass. He served unbelievably and sometimes guys play too good. That happens sometimes at the top level of the sport. I don't think Roger played a bad match."
Federer tried to put his defeat in perspective. "At least it took a special performance from him to beat me," the former world No 1 said after the match. "He hung in there. I was controlling the match. Next thing you know, he just continued serving great, which for me was important to get at least a couple of chances. But the chances were slim and he only needed a couple of breaks to end up bringing it home. I thought my game was plenty good enough to win the tournament."
Djokovic beat the Australian teenager Bernard Tomic 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 to reach his third Wimbledon semi-final. "I had to work hard for my points," he said. "In some periods of the match I was not feeling great, meaning I wasn't moving well."
Murray's (probable) route to the title
Semi-finals: Rafael Nadal (Spain, aged 25, world No 1) Needed four sets to win his quarter-final with Mardy Fish yesterday. The defending champion has beaten Murray twice here in the last three years – without losing a set.
Final: Novak Djokovic (Serbia, aged 24, world No 2) Hard to call after Jo-Wilfried Tsonga's heroics but the Serb is seeded higher and should await in the final should Murray beat Nadal. It would be a repeat of the Australian Open final.

Engineering firms focus on extending life of water facilities

The district releases treated wastewater into the Sacramento River, and the new wastewater standards are in response to concerns about the ailing Delta ecosystem. The project also will increase water-recycling opportunities by producing water that meets reuse standards, according to the district.
A process will be added to remove nearly all nitrate and ammonia from the wastewater. Filtration and disinfection steps will be added to remove or inactivate pathogens.
The EchoWater Project will be paid for through an increase in rates, which will be phased in through 2023.

Cumbria's MPs split on gay marriage vote
Last updated at 12:42, Wednesday, 06 February 2013
Four of Cumbria's six MPs were among those who voted in favour of gay marriage legislation in the House of Commons.
Carlisle Conservative MP John Stevenson and Tony Cunningham, Labour MP for Workington, voted against the legislation.
But Copeland MP Jamie Reed for Labour, Rory Stewart, Conservative MP for Penrith and the Border, Westmorland and Lonsdale MP, Liberal Democrat Tim Farron, and John Woodcock, Labour MP for Barrow voted in favour.
Yesterday, before the vote, Mr Farron and Mr Stewart were reported to be undecided on the issue.
But at 4pm Mr Stewart announced on Twitter that he would be voting in favour of the legislation.
Mr Stevenson said that he supported civil partnerships for same-sex couples rather than marriage.
He said: "I believe it gives them all the legal rights that go with marriage. For people of a different sex it is called marriage and it is a different right."
Ultimately Prime Minister David Cameron got his way and hailed a "step forward" for the country, but the debate saw a division open within the Conservative party.
The House of Commons backed the proposals to allow marriage between same-sex partners by a margin of 400 to 175.
In total 136 Conservatives took advantage of a free vote to register opposition, while 127 endorsed the proposals.
Environment Secretary Owen Paterson and Welsh Secretary David Jones voted against the legislation, while Defence Secretary Philip Hammond and Attorney General Dominic Grieve were not present.
Despite widespread opposition within the Tory party no Government members quit to join a rebellion.
Mr Cameron wrote on Twitter: "I believe MPs voting for gay people being able to marry too, is a step forward for our country."
Labour leader Ed Miliband also welcomed the vote, saying: "The majority of Labour MPs supported this change to make sure marriage reflects the value we place on long-term, loving relationships, however you live."
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said: "Marriage is about love and commitment, and it should no longer be denied to people just because they are gay."
But Tory backbencher Stewart Jackson said: "The only comparable rebellion is the Iraq war vote in 2003 which undermined Blair's premiership.
"Tonight's vote will do the same for Cameron."

Second rinse
By Happy Lady on June 02, 2014
Just as quickly I felt my body become wetter releasing a flood of fluids, freeing my body of the shivers and leaving me limp only to regain its composure to shiver four more times before he released my hair and lay me back upon the washer with him on top.
He gave out a heavy moan. I felt his member, strong and vibrant, slip out of me.
"Gain you strength my love." He said placing his hands on the center of my back and pushing himself up. "I'm not done with you yet."
I tried, believe me, I tried to regain myself. I couldn't seem to catch my breath, my limbs were too weak to move and the wetness between my legs began to stick to me. I was his rag doll and he was the puppet master. He jumped down from the machine and took the step stool from the other side of the room. He placed it by the washer, next to my head. Stepping upon it he took hold of his member in one hand and the back of my head with the other. I look at his smiling face as I opened my moist waiting mouth letting him place it inside. Just as I felt him between my legs, I felt every vein and curve with my tongue. To add to his pleasure he moved my head forward and back as he gave his member several quick shakes. Each time he tried to remove himself I sucked him back in, it had come to the point where I took hold of his member and let three of my fingers rub his two dangling buddies.
"NO! STOP!" he said now with both hand on the walls. I had no intention of doing so until his hand spread my legs apart and his fingers, at least three penetrated through.

TravelPod Member ReviewsSleep Inn Summersville
First time in a Sleep Inn and so far pleasantly surprised. Room décor nice with photos on wall. We took a standard room with 2 double beds, did not pay for a microwave or fridge. As long as they have ice for me to put in my containers, that is all I need to keep my ham, yoghurt and tomato cool. First room with only a shower but no problem with that.

Merlin: A Lesson In Vengeance
Arthur and Gwen are out for a romantic anniversary ride, and they've taken Merlin with them (for reasons that are unclear). However, their beatific calm is interrupted by an exploding sock, a ripped saddle, and an attack from the woods.
Arthur dispatches the two men who are trying to kill him (with a little help from Merlin's magic), and the threesome head for Gaius's house to dress Arthur's wounds. It turns out Arthur's saddle has been interfered with, and the blame falls on Tyr Seward, Arthur's stablehand.
Tyr claims he's done nothing wrong, but the evidence is stacked against him, and Arthur, unable to secure a confession, sentences him to death.
Naturally Merlin does not believe he's guilty, and while he can't convince Arthur, he does go off to investigate who else could have tampered with that saddle. Gwen, meanwhile, is happy to console Arthur that it definitely was Tyr, but let's not forget the brainwashing Gwen had to undergo last week at the hands of Morgana, and the fact that she's now officially Evil Gwen.
Merlin visits Tyr in prison. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Tyr confesses he saw someone fiddling with the king's saddle a few nights before, and that they threatened his mother's life if he told anyone what he'd seen. He's reluctant to name the person he saw, for fear of further reprisals.
Merlin takes this information to Arthur, who resolves to speak to Tyr. But he's distracted by Evil Gwen, who puts him off until morning. After all, what harm can it do?
Well, what if Evil Gwen was to sneak down to Tyr's cell in the middle of the night, drug the guards, and stab him to death? That'd be pretty harmful, wouldn't it?
The next day, Arthur bitterly regrets that he didn't speak to Tyr when he had the chance. Merlin points out that the murderer must know Camelot to have snuck past the guards like that, and they all have a good puzzle over what's happened.
Meanwhile, Evil Gwen has gone into the woods to meet Morgana and explain that her attempt to kill Arthur has failed. Morgana says she'll come to see Gwen in Camelot with a new plan, and the two run off, chased by a patrolling Gwaine. Morgana hoiks him off his horse with magic, and they get away.
Evil Gwen overhears Merlin explaining to Gwaine his theories about there being a rotten insider in Camelot. Morgana, meanwhile is off sourcing a magical poison, called henbane and a sleeping draught from a potions master. Arthur confides in Evil Gwen that he's becoming convinced that Merlin is right, and Gwen pledges to help him find the traitor in their midst (without the aid of a mirror).
Meanwhile, Gaius and Merlin are searching the forest, and have uncovered some evidence – a swatch of imported silk from an expensive dress. While checking Gwen's dresses for holes, Merlin is interrupted:
Evil Gwen meets an old lady in the market, it's MORGANA! And she hands over the poison, telling Gwen to find someone to blame so the suspicion does not fall on her. She chooses Merlin, then spikes Arthur's drink. Merlin, meanwhile, has found the dress with the missing swatch, and its Gwen's. He rushes to Arthur to tell him, but it's too late, Arthur has drunk the sleeping draught and collapses, then Gwen puts the henbane in his ear.
When investigating the poisoning, Evil Gwen hints heavily that this can only have been done by someone with full access to the king's every movement. And there's only one person it can be: Merlin. Off he goes to prison, leaving Gaius to tend to Arthur, who is nearly dead. He goes to visit Merlin in prison, asking him to save the king with magic, and Merlin asks to be taken to Arthur's bedside.
One old-man-ificating potion later, Merlin talks his way out of the cells by confusing the guards, and heads off to find Arthur, after a bit of a row with the cook. Merlin leads the guards a merry dance across Camelot, raising the alarm in his wake, then climbs up to Arthur's window under cover of magical darkness.
Gaius has convinced Evil Gwen to hide, under guard from Gwaine, so Merlin has a clear shot at his king, with those magic healing hands of his. It's touch and go for a while there, but soon Arthur rolls over and falls into a natural sleep. Merlin makes his way back to the cells, and, the following morning, he is freed.
Evil Gwen arranges for the potions master to confirm that it was indeed Morgana who bought the sleeping draught and the poisonous henbane, and therefore she is free of suspicion, for now, but Merlin knows she can no longer be trusted, and so does Gaius.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Sutter's Open-Ended Contract
by Paul on 05/27/09 at 09:57 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Vicki Hall of the Calgary Herald via Canada.com,
When it comes to job security, Darryl Sutter's deal with the Calgary Flames is beyond long-term.
So says his boss, Ken King.
"Darryl does not have a year left on his contract,"King, the team president and CEO, said Tuesday. "Darryl has an employment agreement that does not have an end term on it.
"It's unique in the league and it's the best thing to build a long and deep relationship as part of our culture. We've deviated from the norm, and it's a very positive situation."
In other words, any talk of Sutter having to win next year or else—as general manager or head coach—is completely groundless, according to King.

Manchester City v Cardiff City: Premier League match preview
A look ahead to this weekend's Premier League fixture at the Etihad
Saturday 18 January 2014
Cardiff produced one of the shocks of the early season when they beat Manchester City at the Cardiff City Stadium. Repeating the feat will be a tough task though; Manchester City have a perfect home record so far this season.
New Cardiff boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer travels to Manchester searching for his first league win as manager, following defeat to West Ham last weekend. The Bluebirds are languishing in the relegation-zone following Saturday's loss, but they are only behind West Ham on goal difference.
Bluebird fans should not be too disheartened following the defeat though, Cardiff played well and their attacking football was unlucky not to be rewarded. New signing Magnus Wolff Eikrem could join the fray, his passing and vision adds another dimension to Cardiff's offensive line.
Victory will propel Solskjaer's side up the table, and they can draw motivation that a win would see them level on points with bitter rivals Swansea, ahead of Sunday's fixtures.
Manchester City meanwhile are chasing Arsene Wenger's long coattails. The Arsenal boss and his team seem intent on not slipping up which means that, for the moment, City have to be content chasing their shadow.
Should Arsenal fail to beat Fulham however, and Manchester City win, Manuel Pellegrini's side would go top of the table.
Sergio Aguero's return will be a boost for Pellegrini. The Argentine scored on his return from injury on Wednesday, netting in the League Cup against Blackburn. The Citizens have won their last nine league games, and the return of their most potent weapon could prove too much for Cardiff's defence.
KICK-OFF: Saturday, 3pm

Manchester City have not beaten Cardiff since 1984.
Cardiff goalkeeper David Marshall has made the most saves in the division.
The Bluebirds are without a win in their last 5 league games.
Manchester City have a perfect record at home so far this season.

CDC study highlights pool-borne illnesses
CDC researchers and public health officials in Atlanta collected samples from 161 swimming pool filters throughout the city and found 58 percent of them contained E.coli, a bacteria found in human feces. Although it wasn't a dangerous strain that produces severe illness, the study did show that public swimming pools, in Atlanta, have a problem with human waste contamination.
• Commonly called crypto, cryptosporidium is a tiny parasite that lives in the intestines of humans and animals. An infected swimmer can release enough of the parasite to sicken everyone nearby who happens to swallow any water.
There were 38 cases of toxic E.coli reported to the state's Division of Public Health Services. While most healthy adults will recover in about 10 days, children, seniors and people with compromised immune systems are at risk for serious complications.

Monday, 21 Mar 2011 01:50 PM
JPMorgan Chase & Co. will stop offering debit-card rewards for almost all of its customers in July to reduce losses from a proposed cap on interchange fees.
The company is mailing letters to customers announcing the change, said Tom Kelly, a spokesman for the bank. New York-based JPMorgan said in November it would end rewards for new customers in February, while keeping programs for existing clients.
"Congress recently enacted a new law known as the Durbin Amendment that significantly impacts debit cards," said one of the company's letters to customers. "As a result of this law, we will be changing our debit rewards program."
The Durbin Amendment is part of the Dodd-Frank Act financial overhaul enacted last year, that caps debit-card swipe fees to help merchants who said they were powerless to negotiate rates with payment networks Visa Inc. and MasterCard Inc. The Federal Reserve has until April to decide what the cap will be before being implemented July 21, 2011.
The Fed proposed capping debit-interchange fees at a flat 12 cents a transaction in December, compared with the current formula that averages 1.14 percent of the purchase price or about 44 cents. Such a cap would cost JPMorgan, the second-largest U.S. bank by assets behind Bank of America Corp., about $1.3 billion in lost revenue annually, according to a Feb. 15 investor presentation.
Customers will continue to earn rewards through July 19, and points accrued through that date will not expire, according to the letter. Debit cards with annual fees won't be assessed as of July, Kelly said. The bank's credit-card rewards programs will not be affected, he said.
Banks Lobbying
Banks lobbied against the proposed cap on debit interchange, which generated about $16 billion in revenue for the industry in 2009, according to the Federal Reserve.
Senator Jon Tester, a Montana Democrat, is the chief sponsor of a bill that would delay the rule for two years. Representative Shelley Moore Capito, the West Virginia Republican who is chairman of the House Financial Services subcommittee on financial institutions, introduced a similar measure.
It's not clear whether a two-year delay on the cap would change the company's plans, Kelly said.
The bank's move was reported March 20 by American Banker.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Two brothers were hit and killed on a south Sacramento street, and police have not yet found the driver.
That hit-and-run crash happened at 24th Street near Meadowview Road. The brothers may have been in the roadway when both were struck, and the family wants to know who left them to die.
"This is not fair. They were loving people; they bothered no one," said Andrea Richard.
Not fair, but fact, Andrea's husband Mark and his brother Eddie are gone. The siblings were struck and killed in a bizarre hit-and-run crash.
"He was a great, a great husband, devoted," said Andrea.
Hours after Mark's birthday early last Friday morning, family members say Mark was giving his big brother Eddie a ride home. Then, for some reason, they pulled over and got out of the car. That's when the driver of a white pickup truck struck both brothers in the road, taking both their lives, and then speeding off.
"He was supposed to come back home, that's all I know," said Andrea.
The family insists they don't have any clue if the brothers had gotten into an argument, which witnesses reported before the crash, but say it makes no difference.
"He was a loving dad; he would always try to help out whenever," said Marcus Richard.
Eddie's son Marcus says his father had just moved back from Nevada to be closer to family.
"I just don't see how someone can run over two people and just keep going," said Marcus.
"This person doesn't know he left behind wives, children, brothers and sisters," said Andrea.
It's a double tragedy after two brothers reconnecting in the same city were taken by the same driver.
"Own up to what you did, because my children deserve this peace and I do too," said Andrea.
Police are searching for a late model white Chevy Silverado with a Z71 emblem on the side.

Drama Empire of Dirt tells story of native family: review
Peter Stebbings directs Empire of Dirt, a drama about three generations of Canadian Cree women.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Empire of Dirt
Starring Cara Gee, Shay Eyre, Jennifer Podemski, Luke Kirby and Jordan Prentice. Directed by Peter Stebbings. 99 minutes. Opens Nov. 22. See Star listings for theatres and show times. 14A
The gentle honesty of Empire of Dirt stems from an authentic place in Peter Stebbings' low-key drama about three generations of Cree women haunted by a repeating past and their determination to stop that wheel from turning.
Battling grandmother Minnie (Jennifer Podemski, wonderful here) and 27-year-old daughter Lena (TIFF Rising Star Cara Gee) struggle to find enough peace between them to rescue Lena's 13-year-old daughter Peeka (Shay Eyre) when she begins to stray.
Single-mother Lena, whose problems with drugs created a series of dead ends, now cleans houses in Toronto while volunteering part time at a native youth centre. She wants more for often-lippy, morose Peeka and is convinced she can get the job done on her own.
Evidence that Peeka may be on the brink of repeating her mistakes is about the only thing that could propel Lena back to her mother Minnie's northern Ontario home, a place she was turfed from when she became pregnant with her daughter when she was a teen.
The uneasy homecoming settles into a series of vignettes and scraps, with occasional relief from the strife offered by Lena's school pal Warren (Jordan Prentice), now the owner of a local road house.
She's angry with her mother for judging her. After all, Minnie's past gambling addiction made Lena's childhood difficult. So her fallback position has always been to take off when things heat up. Sticking around for unpleasantness with Russell (Luke Kirby of Take This Waltz), a man from her past, or facing Minnie's disapproval and demands doesn't make it any easier to stay put.
But Minnie has her own demons and sorrows to contend with, ones that have cultural roots both Lena and her daughter don't fully understand.
Working from Shannon Masters' script, Stebbings shows his versatility, veering from the high-concept satire of 2009 film Defendor, starring Woody Harrelson as a would-be superhero, while David Greene's cinematography flashes from documentary-style to dreamy.
Screen newcomers Gee and Eyre show definite promise but there is occasional awkwardness that pops into their delivery. Gee comes back with a heartfelt speech in the final scene that shows a pleasing confidence.
As for Podemski, she's a formidable matriarch as Minnie. Her often-restrained performance is punctuated with flashes of regret and anger, emotions stirred by impatience and frustration with Lena and self-loathing for her past mistakes.
In writing a script that centres on native women, Masters brings a fresh eye to film storytelling, weaving elements of the damaging legacy of the residential school system into her characters' personalities. Minnie and Lena can trace both strengths and weaknesses there, while Peeka has only peripheral awareness of her culture.
Empire of Dirt tells a traditional mothers-and-daughters story in a new way by making their Cree heritage and the role it has in their lives and relationships the true heart of the drama.

A TEENAGE girl was grabbed by a man as she was walking through Lodge Park.
The 16-year-old was approaching a footpath off Crabtree Close by Lodge Pool, when a man grabbed her arm about 3.40pm, last Tuesday (April 17).
The man then let go and ran off towards a nearby weir.
The girl, who was not hurt but was shaken by the incident, carried on walking to her home.
The offender was white, appeared to be in his 20s and was between 5ft 9inches and 6ft in height, stocky, had facial stubble and was wearing a black puffer coat with elasticated cuffs and the hood up, black jeans and white trainers.
During the incident he spoke briefly and sounded foreign, possibly Eastern European.
PC Joann Jennings said: "Although we don't know the man's motives we are investigating this as an assault. It's possible he was disturbed by a woman walking into the area with a dog and we would very much like that person to get in touch with us. She may not have been aware of this incident but might have seen the offender or noticed where he went.
"We would also like to hear from anyone else who may have an idea who this man is or has seen someone of this description hanging around in that area."
Anyone with information should contact PC Jennings on 0300 333 3000, quoting incident reference 520-S-170412, or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
