In this Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2013 photo, a Syrian refugee rides his motorcycle with his son at Atmeh refugee camp, in the northern Syrian province of Idlib, Syria. This rebel-controlled camp only yards from the border with Turkey houses some 16,000 people displaced by the civil war. But the U.N. and other major aid agencies best equipped to handle such a large-scale relief agency cannot reach them because they are inside Syria. That leaves the job to smaller organizations who can only provide a fraction of the needs.(AP Photo/Hussein Malla)

I have some subtitles problems since the new version.
At this moment, I cannot play any videofile with subtitles (.avi with .srt / .mkv with .srt / .mkv with subs).
The PS3 says that subtitles are available, but when playing the file the PS3 doesn't show them.
It worked yesterday, and that's when I installed the new version, but it worked. Even with the new version. Now one day later, it doesn't work anymore.
I really have no clue what went wrong.
This is the configuration I have:
- ASS/SSA subs ON
- Fontconfig ON
- Use ASS default OFF
- ASS fontconfig: Font scale: 3.0 / 1 / 1 / 20
Hopefully someone can help me.

I've been using my Dexcom sensor for three weeks now with only a couple of days off this week. It seems that my main reason for using it is to catch lows and the occasional extreme high, but I don't feel like I'm using it to the best of my ability. I haven't even uploaded the information...granted, the first week on was my yoga training, second was vacation, and this week is my first yoga teaching classes. So these aren't typical weeks or habits.
Still I think having this device means that I should be using it for more than just hypo awareness if I'm going to be plugged in 24/7. Being on MDI's makes me feel like I'm essentially powerless though. If I raise my Lantus by even one unit, I run too low. And it's not really a basal issue anyway.
For instance, the Dexcom shows that I spiked to the 200s twice over night but within an hour or two I was back into the 105-110 range. The first spike came after I drank a Coke because I was 116 before going to bed (my goal is 150-175 because of my history of night lows). The second spike came after I ate a few crackers around 5am because I was hovering at 100 and my stomach was upset. Both times I came back to rest at 100 though.
I understand that limiting the spikes is ideal. And especially when I'm planning for babies in the next few years. I'm trying my hardest to get comfortable being at 100 and staying there without being consumed by fear. But it's really hard to watch those spikes and drops overnight and wonder what would have happened if I didn't have a Coke or eat crackers. Yes, the Dexcom probably would have woken me up when I dropped to 60 or 70, but what if it didn't? And even if it did, I don't want to be low. Lows suck.
This sounds odd but maybe I'm working in the wrong direction- maybe I should lower the Lantus by a unit and raise my boluses? On MDI's it's so difficult to tell what's basal and what's bolus though. Right now, I'm watching the Dexcom show me at 118 with a slightly down arrow. I ate a typical meal (with my usual 6 unit bolus). I started out at 116 and didn't get above 150. I'll wait to see if the 118 levels out but I still don't know what to make of it...is this because I did hours of yoga yesterday? And if so, what do I do on days when I'm not doing that?
It's times like these that I wish I was on the pump again. At least then I could easily use temp basals and change my insulin needs when I'm teaching for several hours versus when I'm sitting on the computer all day. I hated the pump though because it felt like I was confined. It felt like prison. MDI's don't suffocate me that way- but they are proving to be difficult in getting things level. I just want to be healthy- why is it so hard to get this right?

Last Call for 2012 BevStar Awards Submissions!By: Jeff Cioletti |
Category: General Blogs | Tags: soda
I just wanted to give you a quick heads-up that the submission deadline for the Third Annual Beverage World BevStar Awards is fast approaching.
The awards recognize innovations across the major beverage categories, introduced to the market--US or abroad--during the past 18 months. You can submit as many products as you'd like, as long as they've been released within that time period. We'll award gold, silver and bronze medals in each of those categories, as well as a Best in Show award and special achievement awards for Marketing Innovation, Social Media Initiatives and Environmental Sustainability.
We're happy to announce a new category this year: mead, cider and sake. We felt that these fermented classics got lost within beer, wine and spirits, especially since sake is actually closer to beer than it is wine even though it's frequently lumped in with wine.
Other categories include carbonated soft drinks, water/enhanced water, functional & energy, beer, wine & spirits and ready-to-drink tea.
The first step is to email your submission to email@example.com. That message should include:
• Product Name
• Parent Company
• High-resolution product image
• A brief description of the product and why you believe it should win a BevStar Award — maximum 75 words please
• The names of any packaging design, ingredient and branding companies that played a key role in the development of the product
If your entry passes the initial screening process, expect an email directing you where to mail a product sample.
Good luck to you all!

David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|(ii) David Irving's clai... >
|(iv) Conclusion >>
(i) Historical context
1. On 1 September 1939, German troops invaded Poland, and overran and defeated it within weeks. The most western parts of Poland were incorporated directly into the German Reich (Danzig Westpreussen; Warthegau; Zichenau). The central parts of Poland under German control, next to the new Soviet borders, were placed under German civilian administration. This area became known as the General Government.
2. Soon after the invasion of Poland, leading Nazis, including SS leader Heinrich Himmler, began to put into action a wide-scale plan of ethnic cleansing in the new territories under German control. In September 1939, Hitler had suggested establishing three distinct population belts from west to east: the first, the territory which was incorporated into Germany, was to become totally German, through the expulsion of Jews, Gypsies and Poles. The place of these people was to be taken by ethnic Germans from other parts of Eastern Europe. The Poles were to be concentrated in the second, central area of Poland, the western part of the General Governement. Finally, the Jews were to be deported into the third area, the most eastern region of the General Government, the Lublin region.1 In the following years, this 'ethnic domino-policy' was partially realised by the forcible deportation of many thousands of Jews from the Warthegau to the General Government.2 By early 1942, about 2.3 Million Jews were living in the General Government.3
3. The freedom of movement of the Polish Jews was restricted, as more and more were forced into ghettos set up by the Nazis from 1940 onwards. Living conditions in the ghettos deteriorated rapidly. Local Nazi officials failed to provide sufficient food, heating materials and other vital resources. However, the long-term aim of Nazi policy at this time concerning the Jews was not yet extermination, but forced deportation. Thus, in early summer 1940, after the defeat of France, the Nazi leadership began seriously discussing the transportation of all European Jews to the French island of Madagascar.4
4. The German invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941 marked a watershed. The mass murder of Soviet citizens in general, and Jews in particular, had been decided upon before the invasion.5 Specially formed task forces (Einsatzgruppen) immediately followed the army into newly conquered Soviet territory and soon started to kill all Soviet Jews, without consideration of age or sex. One of these task forces reported on 15 October 1941 that it had already killed 118,430 Jews since late June 1941.6 While the task forces executed Jews living on former Soviet territory, Nazi officials searched for ways to extend the murderous programme to Jews living in the General Government. Probably sometime in autumn 1941, the former Gauleiter of Vienna and SS and Police leader in Lublin, Odilo Globocnik, was charged by Heinrich Himmler with the extermination of Jews living in the General Government.7
5. In late 1939, the Nazis, acting on a specific written order signed by Hitler, had started the extermination of the mentally and physically handicapped, the so-called 'euthanasia' programme. By August 1941, over 70,000 people had been murdered in several designated asylums all over Germany. Most of the victims were gassed. Once the Nazis had decided to exterminate the Jews, the individuals involved in operating the 'euthanasia' programme were transferred to the east.8 Their technical expertise in mass murder was required for the construction and running of extermination centres set up in order to kill the Jews. An extermination centre was established at Chelmno, in the Warthegau, where an SS unit under Herbert Lange, who had been in charge of the 'euthanasia' gas vans in Germany in 1940, began gassing Jews in December 1941.9
6. In the General Government, a camp was set up in the small town of Belzec (south-east of Lublin) in the most eastern corner of the General Government. Construction started in November 1941, and in December 1941, Christian Wirth, a former senior member of the 'euthanasia' programme, arrived in Belzec to take up his position as camp commander. Gas chambers were built, connected to an armoured car engine which was set up outside the gas chambers. The carbon monoxide fumes were used to murder the victims in the gas chambers. In March 1942, the first Polish Jews from the General Government, were transported to Belzec by train, and murdered.10 To increase the capacity for murder, and to shorten the length of the transports, two further death camps were set up in the General Government: the first gassings in Sobibor (east of Lublin) took place some-time in April or May 1942, while killings in Treblinka (north of Lublin) started in July 1942.11
7. This operation was officially terminated in October 1943, and by November 1943, the three camps had been dismantled. According to Professor Raul Hilberg, around 1.5 million Jews were gassed in Belzec, Treblinka and Sobibor. . Probably more than 90% of the victims came from the General Government, while the others came from territory as far away as Holland, Macedonia and France.12 Tens of thousands more Polish Jews were shot by German police officers, organised in so-called police battalions.13 Himmler congratulated Globocnik for his part in organising the genocide in the General Government. On 30 November 1943, Himmler wrote to him:
I would like to express to you my thanks and appreciation for the great and unique service which you have performed for the whole German people by carrying out the 'Reinhard Action'.14

Arnold Schwarzenegger says he still loves estranged wife Maria Shriver and still hopes for a reconciliation.
According to the Associated Press, the actor and former governor of California told a German newspaper Monday he spent Christmas with Shriver and the couple's children.
Schwarzenegger, 65, said, "We're not fighting any war. I still hope for reconciliation; I still love Maria."
I'm guessing the maid wasn't there on Christmas.
Shriver, 57, who was married to the actor for 25 years, filed for divorce in 2011 after discovering her husband fathered a child with the family's housekeeper, Mildred Baena.
That's incredible and really, really hard to believe. They really still name people "Mildred?"
In his 2012 memoir "Total Recall," Schwarzenegger wrote about how the news came out.
"The minute we sat down, the therapist turned to me and said, 'Maria wanted to come here today and to ask about a child -- whether you fathered a child with your housekeeper Mildred,'" he wrote. "I told the therapist, 'It's true.'"
He also wrote about Shriver asking him years earlier if the maid's child was his, which he denied at the time.
"I realized there was little doubt that he was my son," he wrote.
Right. The kid was lifting weights and talking with an accent from the time he was 2 years old.
He wrote about wanting to reconcile with Shriver. "You can call this denial, but it's the way my mind works."
Shriver hasn't commented publicly on the idea of reconciliation.

Augusta has a close to $2 million plan that allows the city to purchase more than 30 flood-prone properties. (WRDW-TV)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- There is record flooding across the East Coast after Superstorm Sandy made landfall. Many families are sure to face months of headaches due to flooding. Augusta families are still reeling from floods that slammed the city back in August.
We got our hands on a close to $2 million plan that allows the city to purchase more than 30 flood-prone properties.
Augusta families are still feeling the pain of massive flooding that slammed the Hollywood Subdivision back in August.
"If this had not flooded, my 2-year-old child, my 4-year-old daughter and my 13-year-old stepdaughter would have a home instead of a 10-by-6 room at my brother-in-law's apartment," screamed B.B. Langham.
To add insult to injury, the city slapped Langham with a trash citation.
"I find it funny that all of sudden they care about the trash," Langham said. "I mean, in August when we were flooded, they didn't care about us getting flooded."
The marshals cited Langham on Oct. 17, telling him to clean up the debris or face fines and jail time.
"I find it almost ridiculous because this should have been picked up by the city months ago," Langham said.
The home at 1920 Clark Drive is now clear of all the debris, but it's also a property the city has on a list of several properties to be purchased because of "repeated flooding" in the area.
"I wasn't aware and I don't think my deputy was aware that the city had made any plans to purchase the property," said Marshal Steve Smith.
The Langham home is at the top of the list of 35 structures around town the city plans to buy because "removal of theses structures is the only viable option."
"Well, it's about time," Langham said. "That is all I can say. It is about time."
So why the threats of fines and jail time?
"The fact that you got a tough life doesn't give you a card to get out of jail free," said City Administrator Fred Russell.
Marshal Smith insists the intention is not to harass.
"They want these people to keep their property cleaned up," Smith said. "If that is done, I think the judge will have some mercy on him."
Langham is now making a threat of his own.
"If I have to take off to go to court, that is costing me more money," Langham said. "And I consider that pain and suffering."
A deputy will ride by Langham's home again next Wednesday. Langham is due in court next Thursday. The city is offering close to $50,000 for the home.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - On Oct. 25, 1894, the Aspen Daily Times reported on a fire along Brush Creek. "A Threshing Machine and Grain Stacks Consumed" declared the headline. "Yesterday afternoon while George Shrievel was engaged in threshing at the ranch of Miles Carroll on Brush creek, a spark from the engine set fire to the stacks and grain, strawstacks and machine were consumed. By energetic work of a bucket brigade a barn close by containing 2000 bushels of grain was saved." This image is of harvesters threshing the grain circa 1900 by photographer James "Horsethief" Kelley.
Editor's note: This page is a partnership between the Snowmass Sun and the Aspen Historical Society with two primary goals in mind: to improve the knowledge of Snowmass history in the region and to collect historic photographs of the Snowmass region for the society.

In approximately 90 days, walk into any bar in the State of Ohio. If there aren't any signs stating otherwise, feel free to carry your concealed weapon in that watering hole. But don't order a round. You can't legally drink if you are packing heat.
"It scares the crap out of me because what if there is a bar fight?" bartender Jill Morrissey recently told Ohio paper The Oxford Press. "It's going to end badly." Ohio is not unique. This latest law brings it in line with 43 states that permit concealed carry in establishments that serve booze.
American popular culture has a gun fetish. Look at our video games. Look at our movies. Look at our television. Look at our music videos. But guns don't just exist in video games or movies. In America, guns are very real, yet completely abstract. Their intrinsic meaning—the ability to protect, the ability to kill—are a birthright.
Guns had been a thing that every American kid experiences in some way. But many kids today don't grow up shooting each other with plastic guns like they did a generation or two ago. Cartoons of the 1980s were pretty much wall-to-wall guns (and awesome bears that could shoot beams out of their stomachs). That's not quite the case today. Toy guns are a rite of passage—were, rather.
These days, it can actually be controversial for an American parent to let their kid play with a toy gun. This feeds the fetish of guns as this exotic element of U.S. culture. "I let my boys play with toy guns and swords," noted attorney and columnist Jonathan Turley wrote in USA Today earlier this year. "With many parents and schools enforcing a zero-tolerance policies toward toy guns, such toys are producing an increasing divide on playgrounds and play dates." To illustrate the zero-tolerance polices, Turley referred to a 7-year-old Tulsa boy who was disciplined for pointing his finger like a gun and a second grader who was suspended after drawing a stick figure squirt gun. These zero-tolerance episodes are hardly pro-gun, but they are so hyper sensitive that they actually end up fetishizing guns in a bizarre way. Everything about guns becomes taboo, including gestures and drawings.
Pure gun fetishism in its truest sense is aimed at adults, the majority of whom grew up in an age with it was totally cool to have a toy gun, when it was a rite of passage. There are calendars featuring women in bikinis posing with guns, video after video of topless women firing assault rifles, and there are even websites directly catering to this fetish. That's the vanilla stuff with the more extreme end of the spectrum occupied by fledgling porn stars like Foxy Jacky masturbating with a revolver, creating a deadly, if not shocking, phallus.
This week as the country celebrates its Independence from Britain, one of the driving forces that made it possible for America to do was was, well, guns. It wasn't guns themselves. In the years and decades following the Revolution, it was America's innovations in designing and manufacturing guns—its gun tech, if you will.
During the 19th, Americans made weapon innovation after innovation, either pioneering new advances or perfecting them. In 1835, Christian Sharps developed the first successful breech-loading rifle, which changed the Civil War and became the preferred weapon of buffalo hunters. That same decade, Samuel Colt developed the first practical revolver, made from interchangeable parts. The Winchester rifles used metallic cartridges and could be fired repeatedly. The Deringer, created by Henry Deringer, was a marvel of compact mechanical engineering.
But by the 1980s, American gun innovations were lagging. The country was being surpassed by Europeans. The Austrian-made Glock pistol became the late 20th century's answer to the Colt. "I believe the reason is that accountants, not engineers, run American gun manufacturers," blogged Cameron Hopkins at American Rifleman. "As a mature industry, gun companies can't count on millions of new customers like cell phone manufacturers."
Not all Americans own guns. Not all Americans like guns, for reasons that range from personal to philosophical. There are well over 200 million privately -owned guns in the U.S., according to various reports. For me, guns were a part of growing up in Texas, ingrained in the culture, whether that be rifles, handguns, or semi-automatic assault weapons. I have no desire to own one. But I understand their place in American culture and the national psyche. For many, so much of being an American resides in the right to owning a gun. In America, the gun, like the katana in Japan, is a physical manifestation of both beauty and brutality.
Guns won the revolution. Guns won the West. Guns also assassinated four U.S. presidents. Just a gun rights advocates have data to back up their claim that armed Americans make the country safer, gun control advocates have data that they make the country more dangerous.
Don't assume all Americans think deeply about guns or own guns or even encounter them in their daily lives. Guns are both a given and a fantasy. In movies and video games, guns are rarely realistic. Their depiction is more what they represent—they're symbols, icons. Even games like Modern Warfare 2 that fetishize real weapons allows players to do unrealistic things like fire shotguns akimbo. Other games, like Borderlands, have made-up weapons—in Borderlands' case, millions of them. Filmmakers and game developers know the difference between real weapons and phony in-game ones.
According to game developer John Romero, who's responsible for popularizing first-person-shooters with games like Doom and Quake, he's afraid of guns. "If there's a gun around, there is the possibility that someone's going to get killed or shot," Romero told Kotaku last year. "I just do not want to be around them. Those are real. The ones that are in games are fake. They're fun." That sense of fun is keeping that rite of passage alive—toy's toy guns aren't made of plastic, but digital polygons and pixels.
In the U.S., it's so easy to buy and own guns. The country grapples with things like how to protect the Second Amendment, yet strengthen background checks, and deal with questions like whether mentally ill people have gun rights.
If you believe in gun control, does that make you unAmerican? The Constitution's Second Amendment puts the right to bear arms up there with freedom of speech and freedom of religion, these are.
Yet, at the same time, weapons are being glamorized by the country's pop culture, they are being used in crimes—and to stop them. In a country where the right to bear arms is intertwined with perceptions of freedom, these are unique and complex issues for America and her citizens. When is a gun not just a gun? When it's in America.

It's a telling sign of the ongoing horsepower wars - not to mention the rather impressive increases in mechanical efficiency - that the new Ram 1500 Express's optional Hemi engine puts out nearly the amount of driveshaft-melting power as the once very special Ram with the Viper engine, offered a few years back.
What's more, you can now get a 395-horsepower crew-cab 4x4 for just over $30,000, as well, capable of 19 miles per gallon on the highway. The cherry red model I got to play around with during a Colorado snow week was bumped up with about $6,000 in extra options, though I found that still meant a few pretty standard issue items were suspiciously absent.
I suspect, however, that buyers in this range will be more than happy with that awesome, grunting behemoth of an engine - and its practically diesel-like 407 lb.-ft. of torque - as well as the somewhat austere interior, as they're looking for trailer-hauling power, snow- and mud-beating four-wheel drive and eight-and-a-half inches of clearance. People who want a Laramie Longhorn edition with the air suspension and the microwave oven, will do so.
I'm also not sure if the truck I drove would necessarily be safe at the 150-plus miles per hour that Viper-powered monster was built to handle, but the new Ram sure looks fast, and you'll have no problem expressing all of your awesomely macho truckliness at every opportunity.
Part of my 1500 Express's gaggle of options included upgrades to attractive 20-inch wheels and a load of body colored grille enhancements that certainly make the truck look almost as slipstreamy as that Viper truck did, including a stuck-out bumper with an aero spoiler, a power dome hood and even an aero spoiler on the tailgate - plus gigantic chrome exhaust ports. A sharply raked front window and deep side moldings on the body kinda round out the much improved looks.
Gun it and the Hemi Ram makes a lot of noise, and accelerates rather quickly, despite 229 inches (wow) of frigate-sized sheet metal and mass. Stretched out with the moderately commodious Quad Cab in the back, the truck's got a 45-inch turning radius and requires full attention in parking lots; mine was also completely without backup cameras or beeping proximity sensors, so I had to be extra careful.
On the inside, the 2013 makeover features a swath of modern controls in molded plastic and rubberized surfaces, generally nice but certainly heavy on the plastic. And despite a modernized radio with iPod interface inputs (plus a low-res version of the helpful mid-instrument digital trip computer that debuted in the Grand Cherokee), the truck presents a strange mix of fancy and plain. It's about the only Chrysler product I've driven in five years without audio controls on the inside of the wheel or a CD player, and there isn't even a cover on the single sun visor mirror, yet there's a leathery center console box the size of a barbeque on the front seat.
Again, power and purpose ahead of prissiness. And you've certainly got to be a little rugged to even get into the truck, as it absolutely requires grabbing hold of the built-in hand-holds in the A-pillar to throw yourself aboard.
In-cab electronic trailer brake controls and a slick switch-on-the-go electronic 4x4 controller do mean less time spent outside mucking about; the electronic sequential shift control on the column-mounted shift stalk also provides greater versatility in getting big loads up and down the passes. For whatever reason, it's practically impossible to read the colored gear position display on the instrument panel.
Despite all that mass, suspension and ride are quite pleasant for general motoring, with less of the bounce and sway you used to find in bigger trucks. Running the Ram in practically ice storm conditions on Front Range highways last weekend, the 4x4 bit in as hard as it could with mediocre all-season tires, and the power was certainly plentiful.
Not feeling quite as power-hungry, or as interested in the 13 mpg you'll get in city driving? You can also get a Ram with a not-so-insignificant 305-HP 3.6-liter V6 (featuring a fuel-saving eight-speed transmission) or a 310-HP 4.7-liter V8, both of which will run on E85 fuel. Ain't no Hemi, though.

In light of all the heated debate and controversy concerning Aspen's flawed hydro and geothermal projects, I decided to spend a bit of time on the Internet last weekend searching for some successful renewable energy projects in other mountain towns.
Lo and behold, the first one that popped up seemed a likely candidate and easily replicable in our valley. And best of all, for Aspen's elected officials and hard-core environmentalists, it has the potential to repair some of the negativity and harsh accusations directed toward Aspen's mayor, city council and Skico's very green Auden Schendler in their pursuit of questionable environmental projects at any cost.
Manure-powered ski lifts are Killington, Vt.'s, answer to the production of renewable energy in an environmentally friendly manner. As reported by Reuters News Service last week, Killington will use 300,000 kilowatt hours of electricity made from their locally sourced cow manure that is converted into methane gas and burned to generate electricity, which runs their Express Gondola to the top of the resort's namesake 4,241-foot peak.
Although our local mountains are substantially higher than Killington's signature peak and Skico likely uses a lot more electricity to power our lifts and other mountain amenities, Aspen's elected representatives and Schendler, Skico's in-house environmental guru, would be wise to take a look at this environmentally friendly renewable source of electrical energy rather than devoting their time to bad-mouthing and demeaning others who are concerned with the likelihood of damage to our streams and other water resources as well as the huge economic costs associated with the city's currently proposed and questionable hydro and geothermal projects.
The good news is we have more than enough local BS to power our resort for the foreseeable future.
A bit closer to home, Snowmass' powers-that-be appear to have dropped the ball on what was anticipated to be a significant attraction to increase the economic vitality and vibrancy of our resort.
In last week's edition of the Sun, there was an announcement that the Ice Age Discovery Center was relocating to an out-of-the-way location on the below plaza level of the Mall, which most folks around here have never visited and probably don't even know exists.
That got me to thinking, what ever happened to our Ice Age discovery? Just a couple of years ago it was a nationally and internationally heralded paleontological discovery of significant scientific proportions headlined in important scientific journals and the consumer press on a regular basis, but today it appears on the brink of extinction.
Following the serendipitous discovery of prehistoric ice age fossils at the Ziegler Reservoir our town staff, council and marketing gurus went into high gear planning for the preservation and exploitation of this significant find.
They established what came to be known as the Tusk Force, which did some good initial groundwork but unfortunately due to political infighting was disbanded before their work was completed. Our elected representatives then turned over the responsibility for carrying through on the project to a newly formed charitable foundation, which was neither controlled by nor accountable to the town or to anyone else as far as I can determine.
Once the town abandoned its oversight of this project, we've not heard much if anything regarding whether the project is still alive or being allowed to slowly recede into the ether soon to be forgotten along with the Ice Age Discovery Center (which will now be out of sight and unfortunately out of mind).
Over the last couple of years lots of good people have volunteered their time, efforts and resources to keeping the Ice Age Discovery Center and its programs alive awaiting the promised "big plan" that would honor the importance of this discovery and ensure its permanence for all to enjoy and learn from.
I fear that our town leaders have erred by walking away from this significant discovery, but it may not be too late for them to take it back in-house or to make sure that whatever outside organization they've delegated the responsibility to follows through and keeps the community and the world regularly apprised of their progress. Otherwise this valuable and important scientific discovery will likely soon be forgotten.
During this hectic election season please don't overlook our important local council election in which three out of the four candidates running for the two open council seats - Daryl Grob, Chris Jacobson and Stan Stokes - unfortunately have no prior experience on any of our town boards charged with the responsibilities of land use planning, financial oversight and marketing.
Sadly their responses to the questions put to them in last week's edition of the Sun were much too general and showed their lack of insight into these key issues. As a result they didn't provide us with sufficient information to determine which of them, if any, is capable of doing the job they're campaigning for.
Before voting for one or more of these three candidates I'd suggest you make every effort to dig deeper in order to determine who among this group is best qualified to make critically important decisions during the next four years concerning the completion of Base Village as well as other key development issues such as renovating and upgrading the Mall and Snowmass Center and completing our town entryway; affordable housing; environmental sustainability; resort marketing; town finances; and which of the three is best capable of working through these issues with the other members of the council whose terms are not expiring.
The fourth candidate, incumbent Markey Butler, due to her many years of service on the Planning Commission, Town Council as well as several other key community organizations does have the requisite experience and skills to deal with the critical issues facing our community from day one.

One of the two Republicans who jumped into the race to challenge Democratic Congressman Mike Honda at the last minute has been disqualified and will not appear on the ballot.
But the Sacramento County Superior Court judge who found irregularities in Vinesh Singh Rathore's nominating petition did not find that any responsibility lay with Democratic challenger Ro Khanna, as a lawsuit had claimed.
"There was never evidence to support the ridiculous claim and it was dismissed yesterday by the judge who examined it," Khanna campaign manager Leah Cowan said Thursday. "It's obvious that the defenders of the status quo feel threatened by the momentum behind Ro's change campaign and now they've resorted to old-style political attacks and dirty tricks."
The race in the 17th congressional district has captured national attention as Khanna, a former Obama administration official who lives in Fremont, tries to unseat seven-term incumbent Honda to represent the first majority Asian-American district in the continental 48 states -- and the heart of Silicon Valley.
The well-funded Khanna has been campaigning for about a year, but the entry of Republican Vanila Singh at the start of this year and the entries of Rathore and Joel Vanlandingham this month threw the race's electoral calculus into a tailspin.
Jeffrey Wald of Fremont, an Alameda County Republican Central Committee member, sued the voter registrars in Alameda and Santa Clara counties as well as the Secretary of State's Office, arguing that Rathore and Vanlandingham should be kicked off the ballot.
"Khanna recruited candidates to enter the race as Republicans to split the Republican vote three ways, effectively diluting votes that would otherwise be cast in favor of (Vanila) Singh," the suit claimed.
Judge Allen Sumner heard the case Wednesday afternoon. Pat Smith, one of Wald's attorneys, said Thursday that Sumner had reviewed nominating petitions brought to court by the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters and found it irregular that several signatures on Rathore's petition were in the same handwriting. Without those signatures, Rathore didn't meet the 40-signature minimum and thus can't appear on the ballot, the judge found.
Rathore, 35, a Google product attorney, insisted Thursday that all those who signed his nomination papers were legitimate voters.
"Judge Sumner ruled to remove me from the ballot because there were instances where a husband filled out his wife's name and address on the nomination papers (though both signed on their own behalf)," he said in an e-mail. "I would have gladly produced signed affidavits from my signatories supporting my candidacy, but I was literally given a few hours notice to respond to the complaint. So much for due process."
Rathore said the ruling denies his supporters and him the right to participate in the democratic process. "The sad irony is that I wanted to speak out on the corruption and cronyism that permeates our political system. I never expected to be a victim of that corruption so early in my campaign. But unless regular people get involved in politics, we're going to continue to have a system of the few, by the few and for the few."
Honda's campaign declined to comment.
Peter Smith, another of Wald's attorneys, said Sumner also considered that Manorama Kumar — a registered Democrat from Newark -- had both signed one of Khanna's nominating petition and circulated one of Vanlandingham's petitions. The attorney called this "irregular. I've never seen that before, and you really wonder why it was done that way."
But Smith acknowledged there is no state law against this; Sumner's order made no mention of it.
"Launching baseless attacks that smear an opponent is the kind of politics that Ro is fighting to change," Cowan replied. "Fortunately, the legal system worked, the allegations were dismissed and the case is now closed. Rather than restating their discredited attacks, the perpetrators owe Ro and the voters an apology."

A narrow victory
A few moments in his match at the Tennis Masters Cup today, it appeared that Roger would lose against Andy Roddick He was down one set to love and he had a double match point against him in the second set tie break at 4-6.
But then, just like many times before, the wheels fell off in Roddick's attempt to oust the best tennis player on the planet. Roger fought off three match points to win the second set tie breaker and then he cruised in the deciding set to defeat his American opponent 4-6, 7-6 (10-8), 6-4.
"One of the only things I probably would have changed about that point at 6-4 is putting a first serve in," Roddick said. "This won't be the last time I think about that." Roger also agreed that was the turning point.
"Early on in the tiebreak already when I was down 4-1 and him serving ... I thought, well, probably not my day, I'm not playing that great and he's not giving me a chance, so I guess that's it.," Roger said afterwards. "But I told myself, you know, maybe I can make him nervous by just staying along and in the match. That's what happened. I don't know if he got nervous or it just went my way in the end, but it was really close, that's for sure," he said.
Roger has now extended his winning stretch in round-robin matches at the season-ending championship to 14 and his streak against Roddick to eight. He's 12-1 career against Roddick, who has not beaten our star since the semifinals at Montreal in 2003.
Roger will meet Ljubicic on Thursday at 12.00 (Swiss time).
I was so nervous during the second set I was biting my nails but then things got better before I could completely destroy them...
Good luck against Ljubicic!!!!!!
All my love,
Congratulations ,Keep it up and be careful......
It was one of the best come back match I have ever seen,

Last month, I spent a few days at my parents' house in Laredo, Texas. It was such a treat. My folks got to see my changing pregnant body in person and I got a little spoiled. I got plenty of attention, and had a couple of generous escorts to shuttle me around and take me shopping.
But, besides their company, I most enjoyed the food. Both my parents are talented in the kitchen and they always make sure I have my Texas favorites, so I ate really well. Plus, while I love cooking, this pregnancy makes me tire easily and I try to avoid staying on my feet for too long, so having someone else not only do all the cooking, but all the clean-up, too, was like visiting a spa.
It was nice to come home and see my husband (who spoils me in different ways) and pets, and sleep in my own bed again. (I missed you body pillow!) However, I do miss waking up to ready-made food. It sounds ridiculous, but sometimes I'm so hungry when I wake up I can't think straight and trying to put breakfast together can be a lot of effort.
So, I've been trying to prepare some breakfast items in advance that way I don't have to exert much energy or brain power to feed myself first thing in the morning. And, while I can't have my parents cook for me right now, I can enjoy their recipes.
This recipe is a hearty breakfast bread that my mom shared with me last year. It makes wonderful toast and provides protein, fiber, and potassium – you know…good stuff.
Toasted Almond and Apricot Bread
Makes 1 loaf
7 oz dried apricots
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 Tbsp canola oil, divided
3/4 cup chopped natural almonds
1 heaping cup rolled oats or 1 cup oat flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher salt
Coarsely chop apricots.
Heat orange juice in small saucepan until it boils. Stir in brown sugar and apricots. Remove from heat and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
Add 1 Tbsp oil to medium frying pan and use it to brown the almonds. Stir and toss the nuts so they toast evenly and are lightly browned.
If you don't have oat flour, add 1 heaping cup of rolled oats to a food processor and blitz until it resembles flour.
Beat the eggs until frothy.
Mix in remaining 2 Tbsp oil and buttermilk.
Thoroughly blend the all-purpose and oat flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix in toasted almonds.
Add dry mixture to egg mixture and blend well.
Stir in apricots and their juice.
Pour the batter into a well-greased 9-inch loaf pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for about 50 minutes or until tester comes out clean and top is lightly browned.
Let rest in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a rack to finish cooling.
The bread will keep several days in an airtight container, or may be frozen. To freeze, after completely cooling, wrap the loaf in foil and store in a plastic zip-top bag for up to 6 months.
I really enjoy it toasted with butter.

ANTIOCH -- Gladys Leeks speaks with a confidence that belies the lifelong struggle she hid for decades.
Unable to read menus, she often ordered cheeseburgers. Without being able to read the signs for "push" and "pull," Leeks hedged her bets when opening a door by trying both in quick succession. And without the skills to navigate a phone book, dialing 411 was the only option if she needed a number quickly.
But in the past 2½ years, the Antioch grandmother of six has been exorcising her shame while showing the world that it's never too late to learn to read. At 69, Leeks has progressed from never reading books to tackling novels, an accomplishment that earned her a trip to the White House and recognition for Project Second Chance, a free tutoring service the Contra Costa County library system offers adults who read or write at or below the sixth-grade level.
"I lost so many friends because I didn't answer emails and I never sent thank-you cards," Leeks said.
Such a price for not being able to read comes as no surprise to Laura Seaholm, program manager of Project Second Chance.
"If you grow up in our country, people expect that you know how to read, so (illiteracy) becomes a secret that a lot of people keep," she said.
The 178 individuals enrolled countywide have various reasons for wanting to rid themselves of that burden. Job seekers need to be able to fill out applications. Others want to move up in their company. Parents long to help their children with homework.
In Leeks' case, childhood hadn't included bedtime stories and trips to the library.
"Books and reading was not in my life at all," she said.
But as Leeks describes those early years, the picture of a resourceful young woman emerges.
Leeks, who lost her mother when she was an infant, bounced between relatives in West Virginia, San Francisco and Kansas. By the time she graduated from the sixth grade, she had attended 13 schools.
Her aunts were too busy to read to her, so Leeks would turn the pages of storybooks and invent a narrative.
Adding to the challenge, Leeks and those she has worked with at Project Second Chance believe she has dyslexia, a neurological disorder that has nothing to do with intelligence but impedes her ability to process the written word.
Leeks has spent most of her life laboring to dissect words phonetically because she didn't know the sounds each letter makes.
She developed strategies for avoiding the spotlight in class: When a teacher had students take turns reading a book aloud, she would complain of a fever or take advantage of her propensity for nosebleeds and escape to the nurse's office.
When homework questions came from a textbook, Leeks would scour the chapter for words matching those she'd seen the teacher write on the chalkboard while discussing the topic and copy them.
But even these tricks eventually failed her, and at 16 she dropped out of school at a fifth-grade reading level.
In the years that followed, Leeks worked as a supermarket checker, department store salesclerk and baby sitter as she continued relying on her street smarts to save face.
It was Leeks' success on another front that finally gave her the impetus to start turning her life around.
She had shed 104 pounds on Weight Watchers and wanted to work for the company.
Leeks sought help filling out the application and landed her dream job, but it meant reading flip charts when making presentations at meetings, so one of her sons suggested she contact Project Second Chance.
She signed up in September 2010, and with the help of a tutor, Leeks learned to recognize written vowels and pronounce them, became acquainted with spelling rules, and practiced using the dictionary.
Although there were times of frustration, Leeks never talked of quitting.
"I never had the inkling that that was a consideration," said her former coach, Jim Bowers.
She marked a milestone 14 months ago when she received a Kindle and downloaded a children's book. Leeks moved on to adult fiction and for the first time experienced the pleasure of being engrossed in a plot.
"(Before) I didn't even know there was any enjoyment in reading," she said.
These days she's happier and busy, said her son James Rael. Leeks reads Dr. Seuss to her granddaughter, shares her story publicly, and has traveled to Washington, D.C., to attend an awards ceremony honoring the county's library system.
"When she's telling me she's speaking to groups of college-age women or at the White House, I say, 'Mom, yeah, whatever -- I'm not surprised. You're a rock star,'" Rael said.
Contact Rowena Coetsee at 925-779-7141.
Project Second Chance is taking sign-ups for those interested in getting the training needed to tutor others.
Training sessions are 6:30 to 8 p.m. April 24, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 27 and May 4 at the Contra Costa County Library, 75 Santa Barbara Road in Pleasant Hill.
Tutors must be at least 21 years old, submit a writing sample, and be prepared to spend two 90-minute sessions per week with their student for a year.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Monday, April 15, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The explosions in Boston happened less than 24 hours after thousands of people filled Augusta for the final round of the Masters Tournament. The marathon and the Masters are both international sporting events bringing spectators and competitors from all over the world.
Major events like those require a lot of security and a lot of planning, but law enforcement officials say you can't plan for every situation.
The Richmond County Sheriff's Office spends an entire year preparing security measures for the high-profile event, but they say no matter how much they prepare, you're never fully ready for a situation like the one in Boston.
"This is a world event, and when the eyes of the world are on one location, we have to take everything at face value," said Cpt. Scott Gay with the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.
As an international event, security at The Masters is a top priority.
"We can't be prepared for everything, [but] we try to be prepared for everything," said Sgt. Michael McDaniel.
Throughout the year, the Sheriff's Office works through all sorts of scenarios preparing deputies for the worst -- like the bombings at the Boston Marathon.
"You can't really sit here and fathom what it would be like, but you can't help but to think what would we do in that situation," McDaniel said.
McDaniel calls it a reality check for law enforcement.
"It' s a reminder, 'Oh my goodness, this could happen here,' which is the reason why we have our training; which is the reason we have our specialized education."
For those who attended the Masters, it's a reminder that anything can happen, anytime, anywhere.
"I know they have top-notch security at the Augusta Masters, but anything could just happen," said Masters patron Dominio Strom.
"It's kinda crazy because you don't really expect it," added patron Levi Carter. "Security around here is pretty tight, so you don't really think it could happen, but you just never know."
No matter how much they plan, law enforcement and first responders never know what might happen until it does.
"You don't really know until you're faced with it," McDaniel said.
But they learn from every situation, including the one in Boston.
"That's gonna be looked at from this day until Masters next year," McDaniel said.
They also get a report from the FBI before the Masters looking for anything that could go wrong. They have bomb squad, SWAT team, dog teams and more on standby 24/7 during Masters Week.

Basic Algebra
Graphing Lines
You've now worked pretty extensively with equations containing one variable. We are now going to briefly work with ones involving two variables, x and y.
Equations that have an x term and a y term, or only one of the two, can be graphed as lines on a basic coordinate grid.
You may see equations that look like this:
or this:
Both are different representations of the same line; in the 2nd equation the -2x is moved to the other side. The first equation is in what mathematical people call "slope-intercept form" and the second is in "standard form" (more on these later).
Slope: (usually represented by the variable m) of a line measures its steepness; the larger the absolute value of the slope, the greater the steepness.
Slope is calculated as change in the vertical direction (y) ÷ change in the horizontal (x); this is often called rise over run.
To find the slope you can pick two points on the line and find the difference in the y values, and divide it by the difference in the x values. The important thing to remember is to keep the points in the same order in the numerator and denominator.
A positive slope tells us that the line goes uphill, from low to high. A negative slope tells us that the line goes downhill, from high to low.
The two graphs on the left have steeper slopes, so the absolute value of their slopes is larger than the absolute value of the slopes on the right.
To calculate the slope of a line, start by picking any two points on the line. Calculate the vertical difference and divide by the horizontal difference, you can do this by counting, or by using the formula. If you use the counting method, don't forget to include the sign, positive if it slopes uphill and negative if it slopes downhill (the formula will do this for you).

Boulder Voters Follow Berkeley with Clean Energy Financing
Voters in Boulder County, Colorado, have approved a ballot issue for the county to provide financing for energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements to residential and commercial properties, an approach also recently adopted by Berkeley, California. Boulder County Ballot Issue 1A passed easily, with unofficial results showing 63.63% of voters approving the measure. The voter approval allows Boulder County to issue up to $40 million in special assessment bonds to finance the clean energy improvements. Homeowners and businesses that elect to participate in the program will repay the county over a number of years through special assessments that are added to their property taxes. The measure caps the effective interest rate for the bonds at 10%, although the county should be able to secure a lower interest rate. Because the measure has just passed, many details of the program remain to be worked out, but the county hopes to begin accepting applications as early as February 2009. See the unofficial election results from the county, the county's overview of the measure, and the official ballot language as submitted via a resolution of the Boulder County Board of County Commissioners (PDF 72 KB). Download Adobe Reader.
The Boulder County measure follows a nearly identical financing effort now being launched as a pilot program by the City of Berkeley, California. In September, the Berkeley City Council approved an ordinance that allows the city to issue up to $80 million in bonds to finance energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. The city also passed a resolution to sell the first $1.5 million in bonds to Renewable Funding, LLC, which will administer the pilot phase of the financing project. Called the Berkeley FIRST program (short for "Financing Initiative for Renewable and Solar Technology"), it is initially being launched as a program to finance solar photovoltaic electric systems on residential or commercial properties, with a cost cap of $37,500 per installation. Property owners will repay the city over 20 years through a special tax on their property, paying interest at a rate similar to a mortgage. As in Boulder, the tax will stay with the property, even if it is transferred or sold. For the pilot program, the city will finance 40 solar power installations throughout Berkeley. Applications are being accepted for the pilot program through November 19. Read an overview of the program from the city's Office of Energy and Sustainable Development and see Renewable Funding's Berkeley FIRST Web site. For the legal background, download the resolution by visiting the city's online record system, selecting "Resolution" as the document type, and entering "64207" as the document number. To see the associated ordinance, select "Ordinance" as the document type and enter "7061" as the document number.

The final touches were made to Ray Stadium, in preparation for Meridian High's first game of the season Friday.
Officials with Meridian High are excited about the debut of the new turf. The Wildcats host the Clinton Arrows Friday night. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
The turf itself cost $560,000, but no public money has been used to finance the field. Donations from the private sector were raised in an endowment to improve the stadium as a whole.
"We've got commitments raised up over $600,000, but those are broken down over a ten-year period," said Guin Kendrick, vice-president of marketing for Enviroturf. "And so we're still trying to raise money on the front end to pay for the actual turf and get it out of the way. And that's going to free up the rest of that money that's committed, to create the endowment for Ray Stadium so we can make future improvements."
The endowment from the turf will in turn help the fan experience by improving the facilities around Ray Stadium.
"Just to clean up Ray, maybe do some cleaning to the stands and things like that, add some more seating, maybe to improve the bathrooms," said Kendrick. "And if we get there, maybe address some of these parking issues that we have on Friday night."
During halftime Friday, Meridian High plans to honor those who have helped make this very field possible.
"We are going to have some recognitions at halftime for our biggest donors," said MHS athletic director Chuck Butler. "We plan on giving them a little air time and tell them how much we appreciate their efforts in helping us make Ray Stadium the best stadium around."
There is a gate change in effect. The southwest gate, on the press box side by the new multi-purpose building, will not be open. Those attending the game will need to enter the press box side by the gate closest to 32nd Street.
Ray Stadium is celebrating its 76th anniversary this year. It seats 14,000 people, making it the largest high school football stadium in Mississippi.

Can anyone recommend a standalone device to use as a media player/renderer? I already have 1 Sony TV and that is working fine. The idea is to have 3-5 tvs in a retail area streaming videos. The Sony TV is working great playing the same folder of content continuously. I would like to add another device, and the main thing I am looking for is the ability to quickly bring up 1 folder and play its contents over and over. The Sony TV does this if you place the directory in its "favorites" and then you can turn on the TV, hit favorites and then select the folder and it plays the 10 or so videos over and over all day long. I need something like this but standalone to use with the older TVs that don't support DLNA.
I am looking at the Viewsonic NexTV VMP75 because it supports DLNA and is a good price.

According to the FBI's Uniform Crime Report, the number of girls 10 to 17 arrested for aggravated assault has doubled over the last 20 years.
It's a rising trend of girls getting violent.
Drugs, fighting, and weapons. It's all going on in your child's school.
Domonique Benn sat down with 5 girls that were sent to Alternative School.
They haven't been arrested, but they've had their lessons in violence.
Meet Angel, Shontae, Wylnetra, LaToya, and Synetra. These girls all have something in common.
They either have been or currently are in Alternative School for fighting.
Shontae says, "I was fighting my sister was fighting and my best friend was fighting one girl."
"I got into a situation with a little boy and I accidentally hit a teacher in the mouth," says LaToya.
Shontae was a student at Richmond Academy, and she says she was a straight "A" student.
But one fight cost her.
Synetra is Shontae's sister.
She says she was helping her sister in a fight, and that's the reason she is in alternative school.
She says now that she's had time to think, she may have reacted differently.
"It's not worth going to alternative school," Synetra says. "It's not even worth it."
From the sound of it, girls seem to be beating girls up more.
In November 2005, 17-year-old Shaniece Scott was stabbed in the arm during a fight on her school bus.
Shaniece's mother Bernadette wonders how the student was able to have the steak knife throughout the school day and then take it on the bus.
"They're not using [the metal detectors], they're pushed to the side so what's the use of having them?" says Bernadette. "And at the beginning of school every student should go through the front door; that way they can see if they do have any weapons on them. But the kids go into the school any way they want to--through any door."
But these five girls say weapons in school are not uncommon.
"The incident that happened on the bus where the girl got stabbed, that was a big problem because I don't see how she got in the school with a steak knife," says LaToya.
Domonique asks, "What is happening that may make you feel unsafe?"
"Like she say, people bringing knives, blades, some people bringing guns to school," says Angel.
"Some females bring knives or blades, they get more rougher than boys do," says Synetra.
Shonate adds, "People can bring what they want to bring. It's different to walk through the metal detector, but you can say it's your belt buckle and it could be something else."
In another incident in November 2004, Sego Middle School student Tyeisha Mims fell out of the doors of her school bus while in the middle of a fight. The bus ran her over.
It's instances like this that these girls see often.
"For example, the fighting…if you want to walk away, but then your friend says 'oh you gon' let her punk you like that?'" Angel says.
"A girl don't like you or whatnot they'll say something and then you react to it and next thing you know, y'all fighting," says Synetra.
But most agree that their experience at Alternative School has taught them to make smarter choices.
"This was your first time in Alternative School?" Domonique asks.
"And my last," says Wylnetra.
Shontae adds, "Stay on the right path and don't hang with the wrong crowd, think for yourself."
It's a lesson learned the hard way for these five girls and the others at the alternative school.
And they credit principal Dr. Wayne Frazier for running a tight ship.
Angel, Shontae, Wylnetra, LaToya, and Synetra all agree they could have walked away from fights that landed them in Alternative School.
"Us being hard headed and not doing what we were supposed to do--all of us could have walked away from what we were doing and did the right thing," says Wylnetra.
This is the first time in alternative school for four of the girls, and they say they don't plan on coming back.
But they worry about being labeled.
"Do you think you are labeled being in alternative school?" Domonique asks the girls.
"Yes ma'am," responded Synetra.
"Why so?"
"Like my sister said they see us as nothing but trouble, but it's nothing like that," Synetra says. "I have a future just like any other person."
This is LaToya's third time in alternative school.
Two times for fighting, and now, for having 36 tardies.
"My first time I was labeled as nothing but trouble cause they looked at my record and says 'she's over here for fighting', 'she got a background for fighting'," LaToya says.
Dr. Wayne Frazier is in charge of the alternative school. He's strict, but he guides the students into making smart choices.
"He's a good principal," says Wylnetra. "I say he does a good job. He says he doesn't look at us being bad, we just did something we had no business in and we have to do our punishment for it."
"He makes sure we learn," adds Synetra.
"His goal is to get you out?" asks Domonique.
"Get us out," says Synetra.
Angel adds, "He makes the alternative school so you don't want to come back no more."
Shontae says although she had straight A's before, going to alternative school has actually set her on the right path.
"It makes you think. The ones who take it seriously and want to get out of there, you can look at a lot of things and turn it around."
After talking with the girls it seems like they are on the right path.
Shontae Wright says she has already been accepted to Voorhees College.
Wylnetra spent 4 weeks at the alternative school and is now back in regular school.

When I sauntered into the San Pedro Market Bar to sample a drink called "Swift Justice,'' I should have known it would have coconut flavoring. It was fitting justice.
I will eat and drink just about anything on a menu, with two exceptions: beets and coconuts. Don't ask why these two ingredients offend me. It's a matter of taste. This time, I had to literally swallow a prejudice I've honed for years.
The drink pays tribute to the 1992 Harry Farrell book, "Swift Justice,'' the story of the 1933 San Jose lynching of two men accused of killing department store heir Brooke Hart.
And there's a reason why the name lives on at the San Pedro Market. Its co-owner, ex-San Jose Mayor Tom McEnery, is one of the city's foremost history buffs.
When I met him at the market the other evening -- McEnery, a former bartender, drank a Coke -- he informed me that "Swift Justice'' was the drink favored by Brooke's younger brother, Alex, who grew up to run Hart's Department Store.
Then McEnery smiled, acknowledging that no one had written down the rum, fruit juice and coconut concoction the younger Hart favored. This version I was drinking had been created by a bartender and McEnery's nephew.
What mattered was not the mix but the history it evoked: The 1933 lynching rings in San Jose history, and the new San Pedro Market, which pays tribute to other historical events, is the place to talk about it. (For more on McEnery's take on the block, see www.mercurynews.com/scott-herhold)
Brooke Hart was 22 when he was kidnapped outside his father's department store and forced to drive north toward Milpitas. More than two weeks later, his body was found in the mud flats near the Dumbarton Bridge.
Two men, Jack Holmes and Harold Thurmond, confessed to Hart's killing. Both were white. What enraged the people of San Jose was that they had bargained to return young Hart to his family after he was already dead.
Seventy-nine years ago this week -- Nov. 26, 1933 -- a mob stormed the downtown jail and lynched Holmes and Thurmond in St. James Park, shouting chants like "Hold that Line!'' The governor of California, Sunny Jim Rolph, commended the lynchers.
It was a gruesome moment in a city's history, though the majority of people in a much smaller San Jose did not believe it was an injustice.
I've talked with a now-elderly man whose father drove him to the square that night to watch the action from the courthouse steps.
Even Harry Farrell called his book "Swift Justice.'' An old-school journalist who protected his sources in a long Mercury News career, Farrell named few names, though he was too thorough a researcher not to know who the conspirators were.
The other day, I reread "Swift Justice,'' now out of print though available on Amazon.com for $20.95 plus shipping. I was struck again by how good a reporter Farrell was: He furnishes details that transport you back to the square that night.
Someday we may learn the whole story, including the identities of the lynchers. It was no secret at the time. Even I have heard a few names.
Meantime, I'll have to content myself with drinking a coconut-flavored concoction called "Swift Justice.'' Oddly, it went down very smoothly.
