FORT WORTH — Bill Paxton can still remember the excitement and anticipation in the crowd and the magic of the moments that followed.An 8-year-old boy at the time, he was part of the crowd of thousands who watched President John F. Kennedy walk outside the Hotel Texas in downtown Fort Worth and give a brief speech the morning of Nov. 22, 1963.There was a real electricity in the crowd, Paxton, now a well-known movie and television actor, said Wednesday night. Everybody was so excited.He said he didnt remember a lot of Kennedys speech, but he did remember the president said he was sorry his wife couldnt make it. He said she tended to take longer to get ready than he did.Paxtons memories were among those shared Wednesday during a Fort Worth Remembers JFK program at Texas Christian University geared to make sure that the presidents overnight visit to Fort Worth nearly 50 years ago is not forgotten.He joined a crew of journalists CBS Bob Schieffer, a former Star-Telegram reporter, historian Hugh Aynesworth, former Star-Telegram reporter Mike Cochran, former KLIF radio anchor Gary DeLaune and former KRLD radio announcer Bob Huffaker as they recalled events surrounding the presidents visit in November 1963.President Kennedy and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy arrived at the then-Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth late on Nov. 21, 1963, to a crowd of thousands and much excitement.Fort Worth opened up its heart to the Kennedys, Cochran recalled. It was something to behold, the affection Fort Worth had for the Kennedys.The next morning, the president spoke outside the Hotel Texas, now the Fort Worth Hilton; talked to those gathered for a breakfast of the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce; and rode in a motorcade seen by thousands from downtown to Carswell.About an hour later, Kennedy had arrived in Dallas and was assassinated while riding in the presidential motorcade.Biggest story I almost gotSchieffer tells the story about how he was the Star-Telegrams night police reporter and unfortunately not involved with covering the presidents visit to Fort Worth.His brother woke him up on Nov. 23, 1963, telling him the president had been shot.He hurried to the newsroom, only to find phones ringing off the hook and an empty newsroom because most of the reporters had been sent to Dallas to cover the presidents assassination.Trying to help, he answered a phone and heard a woman on the other end ask if someone could give her a ride to Dallas.Lady, we dont run a taxi here, Schieffer recalls telling her. The woman told him she believed her son had been arrested in the shooting of the president.Schieffer quickly got her address.He and another reporter soon picked up Lee Harvey Oswalds mother. He interviewed her on the ride over and said she talked about how people would feel sorry for her daughter-in-law, and send her money, but nobody would care about her and she would starve.The woman was truly deranged, Schieffer recalled.He took her to the Dallas Police Department, stayed with her, and thought he was going to be in the room when she and her son finally spoke.About that time, an FBI agent in the room asked who he was and Schieffer admitted he was a reporter.The man told him to leave the room and told him that if I ever see you again, Ill kill you.Schieffer quickly left and still believes that was the biggest story I almost got.Aynesworth is widely considered one of the most respected authorities on JFKs assassination he witnessed Kennedys shooting, the arrest of Oswald at the Texas Theater and the shooting of Oswald by Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby.Initially, he said, he was irritated because he was one of the few reporters at The Dallas Morning News who didnt have an assignment.But he decided to go ahead and watch the motorcade because its not very often people had a chance to see the president. He stood near the depository and heard shots shortly after the presidents car passed him. He said there was pure chaos people screaming, crying, running around in the street. Trying to determine the best place to be, he soon heard on a police scanner that a police offer had been shot. Having a feeling that it was connected to the presidents assassination, he ran to the theater and arrived in time to see the police arrest Oswald.DeLaune was the first person to tell the world that Kennedy had been shot, perhaps tragically. He also was standing just feet from Oswald when he was shot by Ruby.A healing going onSchieffer said there are moments in history etched in peoples memories because they were so overpowering.For many, one of those dates is Sept. 11, 2001. For many, another of those dates is Nov. 22, 1963.It was the weekend that changed America, Schieffer said.After all this time, Paxton said, he was glad to get a chance to be part of Wednesdays event that remembered the countrys fallen president.After the assassination, he said, everyone in North Texas wanted to pretend like it never happened, he told the Star-Telegram. It was like it never happened. It was such a dark time.For so long, he said, Texans simply wouldnt talk about the trip or the shooting.We forget what a great trip they had until it all went wrong, he said. Theres still a healing going on.

quick question:
Are you 21
or over?
or over?
When we opened up a jar of this sage honey, we knew it was a very wise choice (get it?). Each little pot of luscious crystallized gold comes from Rainbow, California, where bees buzz around local sage flowers and impart a hint of that savory herb to their honey. It's sweet but not too cloying, so we're spooning it on everything.
Urban beekeeper David Bock and his two sons started Buzzed Honeys with their own hive in their own Los Angeles yard (the kids even picked the company name – cute, right?). Thanks to the California Homemade Food Act passed in 2012, small makers like the Bock family can legally sell their goods out of their homes as certified Cottage Food Operations. And nowadays, they're sourcing unique varietals from all across California, Oregon, Nebraska and Wisconsin, and packaging them in bee-utifully labeled jars.
Drizzle sage honey over Jan's Farmhouse Crisps topped with dried figs and Prescott cow's milk cheese from Robinson Farm. Mix up a cocktail we're calling the Wise Mouth: pour 2 oz Art in the Age Sage "gin" over ice, top up with club soda, and add a drizzle of this honey with a fresh sage leaf for garnish!
Raw honey. Comes in a 6 oz jar.

[Starting 5: With the annual NCAA March Madness tournament in full swing, SOHH asks your favorite hip-hop artists to name their rap-based starting five team line-ups. Today, Atlanta rapper Future lays out who makes up his Free Bands.]
Point Guard: Kanye West
I'd have to go with Kanye West to lead my team. He's also a really good thinker. There's certain situations. I'm putting Kanye West at the point because he wants to win by all means and no matter what. By all means. So I'm going with Kanye.
Shooting Guard: Future
At shooting guard it would be more. I ain't missing. I'm not missing those shots.
Small Forward: Jay-Z
For the small forward I'm going to have to go with Jay-Z. I need him there because Jay brings it to the paint. When people see him, they don't want to go down there because they know what they're up again. When you go around Jay, you're going to see a big power forward.
Power Forward: Scarface
I have to go with Scarface for my power forward. I picked him because he's someone you don't want to go up against. He's hardbody.
Center: Funkmaster Flex
I'm going with Funkmaster Flex for the center. You gotta have the deejay. The deejay really sets the tone and so Flex would set the tone for the game.

About This Report: This report reflects information garnered from two separate ADP Research Institute studies: The 2013 Recruiting Trends study and the 2013 Job Candidate Trends study.
The 2013 Job Recruiting Trends study was conducted in August 2013 among 506 recruiters in companies with 1,000 or more employees. The study universe included representative sample of all categories of U.S. enterprises with 1,000 or more employees. A statistically projectable sample of respondents was interviewed, split between three groups by size: enterprises with 1,000 to 2,499; 2,500 to 9,999; and 10,000+ total U.S. employees. The resulting data achieved statistical reliability at the 95% confidence level both overall and in each of the size groups. Respondents had to evaluate, recommend, or make final purchase decisions for new processes and technologies related to talent recruitment strategies.
The 2013 Job Candidate Trends study was conducted in September 2013 among 2,561 job seekers ages 19 to 65. Respondents were active (seeking new employment or looking to change employers) or passive (would consider pursuing a job opportunity with a new employer if contacted) job seekers. The statistically projectable sample of respondents interviewed was split between type of job seeker, type of current employee (salaried vs. hourly) and age. The resulting data achieved statistical reliability at the 95% confidence level both overall and by each group.

How government works
During my time in continuing education, we had a big time discussion about tax preparer compliance audits.
To catch you up to speed. In recent years, the tax preparation business has become populated with various criminals and now the IRS is trying to clamp down.You may ask yourself, why?
Like any question in life, if you answer money, you'll be right about 90% of the time.
Over the years, every time the rich got some tax break the poor had to get something as well. Never mind that they paid no income tax to begin with.
So to throw the poor a bone, Congress expanded the Earned Income Credit.
Now you have poor people getting refunds of up to $7,500 and unscrupulous preparers more than willing to help these people scam the government.
If you were a normal thinking person, you might say. Wow there's a lot of fraud in here! Maybe this program shouldn't be so lucrative as to encourage fraud. And with that kind of thinking you'd never make above a GS 14 payscale.
How you move up the government totem pole is to suggest that the government sets up a whole new bureaucracy to regulate tax preparers.Never mind the people getting the dough.
And you wonder how the feds can't seem to cut a trillion or two.

With the full 2014-15 Fantasy Basketball Rankings now complete, let's take a look at the top 100. After a week filled with triumphs, successful trades going through, and possibly the biggest news of the offseason – Jared Dudley getting moved. I couldn't finish the top 100 without knowing where Dudley would be! The ramifications would be catastrophic! So past 75 you're starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel. The dregs of the cask. Which means it's sleeper land! Bring out the sleeper patrol! And a lot of times if you hit on just one of these and avoid injuries in your early rounds, you're set for a playoff run. Here's my top 100 for the 2014-15 Fantasy Basketball Season (based on 9-cat H2H):Please, blog, may I have some more?

With the full 2014-15 Fantasy Basketball Rankings now complete, let's take a look at the top 20. I've gotten really bored of Imagine Dragons… They were fine and it was good hearing decent music on the pop stations, but now I cringe almost as much as that friggin' Fancy song. I haven't heard anything more talent-less since Ashlee Simpson! And parallel-o-ly, or some real word that means that, I imagine some cringing for my sky high Goran Dragic rank. I'm on the dragon wave! Dragons are just as hot as vampires or zombies right now. You got movies how to train them, hot blondes mothering them, Hobbits sneaking up on them in caves… I'm just swept in the fever. And here's to hoping I sweep you too! Here's my top 20 for the 2014-15 Fantasy Basketball Season (based on 9-cat H2H):Please, blog, may I have some more?
I shouldn't have waited. I should have stepped up and said, "Yes JB, I've waited 30-some-odd years of my life to get on an airplane because I'm afraid that there really could be a gray furry monster who destroys it while we're 30 thousand feet in the air". Looking back I fear perhaps I may not have been too logical in my thinking and now I have to carry that regret with me for the rest of my life. Like when I didn't go to Mexico with JB for spring break. Even though I never really heard any stories because he claimed he 'couldn't remember anything', he came back with obvious aversions to Tequila, guacamole, the word 'labradoodle', and giant black dildos. Don't ask how I know, I wish I didn't. Or when he did that semester abroad. He told me about going hostel to hostel, meeting new people and learning new things everyday. If I would have gone with him then I probably would have learned why he gets so strange whenever he hears someone speaking Dutch. He gets this big smile on his face and his eyes gloss over like he's catatonic. If you want to break him out all you have to do is say 'labradoodle' and you can tell from the look on his face that whatever day dream he was having immediately turned into a nightmare.
I assume by now you've read the title and are asking yourself, 'Self, why am I reading about Paul George for fantasy?' Pretty simple really… because I wrote it before his injury. Doh! I shouldn't have waited but I wanted to make sure Melo was going back to New York and then I had to wait on Lance to sign and then… So what do I do with it? Throw it away? Well it's just a bunch of 0's and 1's in a computer somewhere and I don't know where so that wasn't an option. I figure I'll post it, face the furry monster, and catch the next flight anywhere. So here it is, Paul George v Carmelo Anthony unaltered and I hereby challenge you to find a more pointless post for fantasy basketball the rest of the year:Please, blog, may I have some more?
As we head into August, now is a perfect time to take a look back at the free agency period for the upcoming 2014-15 NBA season.
While there is one big name yet to sign (Eric Bledsoe), a few less-intriguing options still on the market (Michael Beasley, Andray Blatche, Kent Bazemore, Jordan Crawford), and another who's unsure whether he'll play or retire (Ray Allen), most of the fantasy basketball world knows where guys will be playing this season. Of course, that still doesn't include the possibility of Kevin Love finding a new home by the end of the summer, but that could be the subject of an entirely different article.
There is little doubt in anyone's mind that Love will land in Cleveland, which will make them a huge force in the Eastern Conference — and in the entire NBA.Please, blog, may I have some more?
What a night, what a night! While we didn't see the fireworks of say, a QB drafted by San Diego saying he'd only play for the Giants, but we had some interesting reaches, some surprising fallers, and one very happy/newly re-acquainted Hornets fan!
The crew and I had a blast tweeting through the draft, so I have a few other thoughts sprinkled in the first round recap below. It didn't go quite (read: at all) like Slim and I's mock draft, but here's how the draft went down, with a fantasy outlook for these rookies for the 2014-15 Fantasy Basketball Season:Please, blog, may I have some more?
In general I think it's a good idea to say, "Spoiler Alert: Plot Climax", but I don't need to do that when talking about the new Godzilla movie because I haven't seen it. It's not the plot I take offense to anyway, I'm disappointed in the choice of lead monster. With today's CGI the giant, furry, and oh so cute Mothra could still wreck havoc on the city but unlike Godzilla he would also sell millions of soft, fuzzy pillows to little boys and girls everywhere. I've already mailed my script to Disney so don't go trying to steal my ideas. And what about King Ghidorah, the three-headed dragon monstrosity? If I had to put down a few bucks between him and Godzilla then I'm taking King Ghidorah. Sure Godzilla has his strengths with the loud roar and all but he doesn't fly. So while Godzilla is flailing his little T-Rex arms and squawking like a pissed off parrot, the King can leisurely glide around and deliver deadly destruction whenever he so pleases.
Godzilla is a tried and true brand so he makes the most sense but I don't think that makes him the right choice. In a Russell Westbrook vs John Wall debate you would probably assume Westbrook makes the most sense too – but I'm not so sure. Actually I am sure, if you remember last time out I told you I was going into these comparisons with a predetermined winner. So before we get started I'm going to go ahead and put a few bucks down on John Wall. It would be a much easier debate if he could fly, but either way he's still going to be a summer, I mean winter blockbuster.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Razzball Hoops Nation! Wow, typing 2014-15 already just feels weird… I'm not ready to quit you 2013-14! Although, the disappointing image of the face of the Luminescent Lithuanian makes it easy. We're done, ya ho! I'm just not that into you…
As I do every season during the NBA Playoffs, I think it's a fun way to kick off the year with some way too early rankings through the top 50. "Wait a minute, isn't there free agency and a draft, moron!?" Shut it, noob commenter! There will obviously be numerous changes to these early ranks, possibly even some rookies trickling into the bottom end of the top 50, and all sorts of free agency moves to make this a really fun offseason. Here's my way too early Top 20 for the 2014-15 Fantasy Basketball Season (spoiler alert: no Jonas Valanciunas):Please, blog, may I have some more?
Razzball Hoops Nation! It's officially the offseason! Well for fantasy… And for the Knicks and the Lakers. And the Pacers! Haha, sorry matt, just joshin'…
And what better way to look back on the 2013-14 season than to reflect on the rankings. Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it! Dammit, that means I can't ever rank Ricky Rubio highly again even though I know I'll want to!
So I reflected back on my ranks, and patted myself on the back or immolated myself on what I was thinking so long ago. Rankings are based on my final updated top 200 and eesh! Looking back on these some are rough! I then compared them to the FantasyPros aggregate Draft Day Rankings along with Basketball Monster's Total Value for 9-cat leagues for the season. I had Slim come in and grade each of my picks, and man, he's a harsh grader! And unfortunately he doesn't take too kindly to giant pasty men flashing their teetans at him either, so I got no extra help. Here's a look back at the Top 20 for the 2013-14 Fantasy Basketball Season:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there'll be ThrAGNOF! Full disclosure – I had to look up this song from that movie about a weird looking ginger chick and it's about coming of age or something. No, not Teeth! Last night, an injury-ravaged, de-taloned Pelicans went out and shocked the Clippers. Kevin Hart, apparently a big Clippers fan, got to travel with LA on a Ride Along I'm guessing. When Jamal Crawford upchucked a three at the buzzer for the win, that arced so high it might've hit the Cowboys Stadium scoreboard, Hart started crying when it barely hit rim and got angrier than his little cameo in The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Anyway – Anthony Morrow was a big factor in the upset win, going full-ThrAGNOF 27/5/0/0/1 with two treys. Scoring is the name of his game! Always a high-volume shooter, Morrow just has never stuck in a big role as he doesn't do anything else. Dude, if he was on a D'Antoni Lakers team, he might break the NBA! With Brian Roberts with a bruised knee, Eric Gordon with an absence of knees, and Austin Rivers with the sniffies, the Pels were without three of their bigger remaining scorers. Looking ahead to tomorrow, the Pelicans get a beignet of a matchup against the former New Orleans Jazz and all three could miss again. So if you need some treys and a little scoring upside in the deeper leagues, it's that time of year when the scrubs will come out tomorrow! Here's what else I saw last night in NBA action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Oh man, rough night for matt's Pacers! Al Jefferson just went absolutely bonkers, adding to his stretch of bonkertude giving Jefferson owners a huge boost for the playoffs. Owning Roy Hibbert like an Entertainment 720 entrepreneur, Big Al shot 16-25 in a full multi-cat dance party of 34/8/3/1/1 and even hit a three! Only his sixth of his career to pepper all the cats. Over his last 3, Jefferson has hit 44 of 65 shots for a very high volume 67.7 FG%. Jefferson hasn't played this well since his Minnesota days, and you can even argue this has been a career year. Which for a guy with the history Jefferson has put down in the stat sheets is really saying something considering how rocky it all started. Remember the ankle issue that had him sit a lot of games? Then the slow start? Because I sure do, and I steadfastly said "Hold me tighter baby!" Is that a song? I feel like there's something close to that… Anyway, hopefully you were able to buy low or weather the storm and now you're reaping some big man stats like it's the 90s. We miss you David Robinson! Two losses in a row for the Pacers, right after barely beating the Jazz. The Heat are now only 1.5 games behind, and might be taking the Pacers piece of the home-court advantage pie! Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy hoops:Please, blog, may I have some more?

Home » News » Politics » Town Meetings
Litchfield town deliberative session set for Saturday
According to Town Administrator Jason Hoch, the recommended operating budget of $5,045,145 is about $80,000 more than the current budget.
"About $35,000 of that increase is the added cost from the New Hampshire Retirement System," said Hoch. "That is what everyone is dealing with right now."
Other adjustments to the budget include third-year wage increases from a police union contract and the anticipated hiring of four to six on-call firefighters, according to Hoch.
Voters will review 18 warrant articles, although some of them are typical housekeeping items. There is a request for $12,500 to be used for preliminary engineering costs to design a sidewalk on Pinecrest Road that would connect the bike path on Albuquerque Avenue with Litchfield Middle School. The fee, Hoch said, is just for the design plans; the actual construction costs will likely be presented to voters at the 2014 annual meeting. "We know how popular the Albuquerque Bike Path has become, so we want to get the ball rolling to eventually connect the path to all of the schools," he said. "This is step one towards doing that."
There is a separate request to allocate $10,000 to repair the entrance to the town hall and police station. The requested funds, according to Hoch, are leftover from the town hall roof replacement last year.
"There is severely deteriorated concrete at the front entrance," he said, adding the existing columns at the entryway also need to be repaired.
Residents also will be asked to appropriate $20,000 to repaint the old town hall, $10,000 for an engineering study to determine possible designs for a wastewater sewer system and nearly $19,000 for a 2 percent cost of living adjustment for nonunion town and library employees.
Another warrant article, which is advisory only, seeks to gain public comment about the current official ballot voting, or SB2 form currently used by the town. The article asks for insight into whether town residents would like to revert to the traditional town meeting for conducting its annual meeting.
"If there is interest to go back to the traditional town meeting style, then it will be placed on the warrant next year to discuss the merits of each type of government," said Hoch.
Saturday's deliberative session begins at 10 a.m. at Campbell High School, 1 Highlander Court.
The school district's deliberative session will begin at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the high school.

ServiceAuthorizationManager.CheckAccessCore Method
Checks authorization for the given operation context based on default policy evaluation.
Namespace: System.ServiceModel
Assembly: System.ServiceModel (in System.ServiceModel.dll)
- operationContext
- Type: System.ServiceModel.OperationContext
The OperationContext for the current authorization request.
Return ValueType: System.Boolean
true if access is granted; otherwise, false. The default is true.
ServiceSecurityContext is generally the result from the default policy evaluation.
Override this method to provide custom authorization decisions.
This method can be used to make authorization decisions based on claim sets that are inferred based on incoming tokens, or added through external authorization policies. It can also make authorization decisions based on properties of the incoming message: for example, the action header.
In this method, the application can use the operationContext parameter to access the caller identity (ServiceSecurityContext). By returning the RequestContext object from the RequestContext property, the application can access the entire request message (RequestMessage). By returning the MessageHeaders object from the IncomingMessageHeaders property, the application can access the service URL (To) and the operation (Action). With this information, the application can perform the authorization decision accordingly.
The claims made by a user are found in the ClaimSet returned by the ClaimSets property of the AuthorizationContext. The current AuthorizationContext is returned by the ServiceSecurityContext property of the OperationContext class.
The following example shows an override of the CheckAccessCore method.
protected override bool CheckAccessCore(OperationContext operationContext) { // Extract the action URI from the OperationContext. Match this against the claims // in the AuthorizationContext. string action = operationContext.RequestContext.RequestMessage.Headers.Action; // Iterate through the various claim sets in the AuthorizationContext. foreach(ClaimSet cs in operationContext.ServiceSecurityContext.AuthorizationContext.ClaimSets) { // Examine only those claim sets issued by System. if (cs.Issuer == ClaimSet.System) { // Iterate through claims of type "http://www.contoso.com/claims/allowedoperation". foreach (Claim c in cs.FindClaims("http://www.contoso.com/claims/allowedoperation", Rights.PossessProperty)) { // If the Claim resource matches the action URI then return true to allow access. if (action == c.Resource.ToString()) return true; } } } // If this point is reached, return false to deny access. return false; }
For another example, see How to: Create a Custom Authorization Manager for a Service.
Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)

The second is minutely hairy, the last forms nets, and the first is in your photo. There's also R. dilacerata, but it's not known (yet) from the Bay Area. It has main branches that are partially hollow." So R. puberulenta because of the minute hairs, right?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Badge Man is the name given to an unknown figure reputedly visible within the famous Mary Moorman photograph of the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy. Some researchers have theorized that this figure is an assassin firing a weapon at the President from the area of the grassy knoll in Dealey Plaza. An alleged muzzle flash obscures much of the detail, but "Badge Man" has nonetheless been described as a person wearing some kind of police uniform – the moniker itself derives from a bright spot on the chest, said to resemble a gleaming badge.
Speculation about the "Badge Man" figure helped fuel conspiracy theories about a plot by members of the Dallas Police Department to kill Kennedy. In response, abundant skeptics proposed numerous alternative interpretations of the image.
During the Presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza, Dallas resident Mary Moorman took a series of photographs with her Polaroid camera. Her nonprofessional photos captured images of all of the Presidential limousine occupants, several other close witnesses (including Abraham Zapruder filming), two Dallas police motorcycle Presidential escorts, and much of the Plaza's grassy knoll. The "Badge Man" is reputedly visible in Moorman's fifth and most famous photo of the area, taken at the moment of the fatal shot. This photo has been calculated to have been captured between the Zapruder film equivalent concurrent frames of Z-315 and 316, less than one-sixth of a second after President Kennedy was struck in the head at Z-313.[1]
The Moorman photograph was seen contemporaneously in world media through UPI, but the Warren Commission did not include it in the volumes of its Report (1964).[2] The House Select Committee on Assassinations (1976–1978) sent a high-quality negative of the Moorman photo to the Rochester Institute of Technology for enlargement, enhancement, and analysis. RIT's report states that it found no evidence of human forms anywhere in the background, and the specific area behind the stockade fence was deemed to be so underexposed that it was impossible to glean any information from it.[1][3]
In 1982 Gary Mack, the longtime curator and archivist for The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza (the former Texas School Book Depository) first claimed to discover the "Badge Man" figure.[4] In Mack's visual interpretation, a uniformed police officer can be seen standing behind the stockade fence, his face obscured by muzzle flash but with a small bright object on his chest.[4][5] Mack initially believed Gordon Arnold to be the Badge Man figure.[6]
The question of "Badge Man"'s existence helped perpetuate conspiracy theories which alleged that members of the Dallas Police Department had killed Kennedy and simultaneously framed Lee Harvey Oswald.[7]
Some researchers have claimed that the "Badge Man" image is sunlight reflecting off a glass bottle: photos and films taken immediately after the assassination do show a bottle sitting atop the retaining wall.[5][8] Researcher Dale Myers argues that measurements of the area prove that the alleged figure would have been in an impossible position to fire a weapon at the motorcade: "if [Badge Man were] truly a human being of average height and build, [he] was located 12–18 feet (3.7–5.5 m) behind the fence line and elevated 3–4 feet (0.91–1.2 m) above the ground."[4]
In his initial observations, Mack had been assisted by photographer and assassination researcher Jack White, who continued his experimentation with the Moorman photograph. In the mid-1980s, White put forward a new version, enhanced in contrast and brightness, which he claimed revealed the policeman figure in high clarity.[4]
White's research was shown and discussed in the 1988 documentary series, The Men Who Killed Kennedy. In it, a closeup of the enhanced Badge Man figure is repeated onscreen as a voiceover describes three shooters at Dealey Plaza, said to be in league with the Mafia.[9] One of the three is described as standing in the Badge Man's position, behind the picket fence on the grassy knoll. The narration identifies this shooter as Lucien Sarti, a French national and alleged contract killer.[9]
To the anatomical right (photo left) of the supposed "Badge Man" some researchers claim there is also seen a second person, self-proclaimed witness Gordon Arnold, who claimed in 1978 that he was filming the motorcade while wearing his US Army uniform when a shot passed close to his left ear.[7] A third person claimed by researchers to be seen is a construction hard hatted accomplice to "Badge Man's" anatomical left (photo right) facing the general direction of the book depository.[citation needed]
Also claimed seen in the Moorman Polaroid photo by researchers is the hatted head of a person located about 13 feet (3.9 m) west of the grassy knoll stockade fence corner (a different location from the "Badge Man"). This corresponds with an area where overpass witnesses stated they observed gunsmoke and where footprints in the mud directly behind a station wagon backed up to the stockade fence that also had shoe-bottom mud scraped off onto the station wagon's rear bumper, cigarette butts, and muddy footprints 2.5 feet (0.75 m) up on a picket fence cross-beam support.[citation needed] This is part of the "grassy knoll" area in which the House Select Committee on Assassinations, determined that a shot was fired. However, that conclusion was based on an audio recording which critics say emanated from a different part of the city and was analysed using flawed methodology.[10][11]

Watch the Doors As They Close | Karen Lillis | Publisher: Spuyten Duyvil | 3 stars
Watch The Doors As They Close tells the story of Anselm, narrated by his nameless ex-girlfriend. Written in journal form, she takes us through their entire relationship, filling in the details of Anselm's past as she goes.
The book starts out with Anselm having returned to Pennsylvania and The Girl talking about the journal he gave her. She decides to use it to write their story, not in the hopes that someone will read it, but simply so she can get it down on paper before she forgets. Their relationship is an interesting one – she says many times that they loved each other deeply, but that he never did anything to show that love. Like on her birthday, he didn't do anything special for her.
I found the book interesting, but I didn't really see a plot in it. It wasn't quite stream of consciousness ramblings, but it didn't feel like a cohesive story to me. That is not to say I didn't enjoy it, because I did. I could totally relate to The Girl and those feelings of wondering if your boyfriend really loves you or if he's just saying it to appease you. It's a story of a normal life, which is something that I think most people are able to relate to (unless they're in the 1%).
Really, that's all life ever asks of you. Is that you go along, and experience what you experience, and feel what you feel, but that you don't let your experiences bind you up and prevent you from living and seeing and feeling and loving. From moving forward.
I loved this line because it's so true, and I think that's the whole point of the book: to just get through life and experience whatever it is we're meant to experience without letting it hold us back.
