Ferry ride brings alcids into focus
|A razorbill. Credit: Contributed
Lond Island itself presents a barrier that most pelagic species show little inclination to breach. If you want to see shearwaters, storm-petrels, jaegers and the like, the Sound is a not a very productive searching ground.
That said, some birds of the high seas have seemed more inclined to visit Long Island Sound in recent years. Northern gannets can be abundant during peak migration and Wilson's storm-petrels now occur every summer. Parasitic jaegers are seen annually, and in winter the presence of alcids has brought great enjoyment to birders.
Alcids are fishing-eating birds of the far north. They're essentially the Northern Hemisphere version of penguins, although they can fly and aren't closely related to those iconic symbols Antarctic waters.
Although once extremely rare in the Sound, they're now represented annually by one species, the razorbill, and the past couple years have brought sightings of common murres, thick-billed murres and dovekies.
On Monday I joined a group of friends in a ride on the New London-Orient, N.Y., ferry, which offers a good chance to view alcids in winter, when they descend to our latitude. We were hoping for one or more of the less common species, which failed to materialize, but we were pleased to see several razorbills, including some that offered close views riding the surface of the morning's calm waters.
We also enjoyed the unexpected presence of a small pod of dolphins, which we weren't able to identify to species.
Frank Mantlik got photos that showed the shape of their dorsal fins, and he sent them to experts at Mystic Aquarium. He received a reply indicating they were probably common dolphins. It's unusual for any dolphin species to be in the Sound at this time of year.

1. In his book Nuremberg. The Last Battle. (London, 1996) Irving uses G.M. Gilbert's Nuremberg Diary (London, 1948) as a source.14 As we have seen, Gilbert was prison psychologist in the Nuremberg prison and wrote up his conversations with the defendants from memory, either immediately after having spoken with them or that same evening. Under 19-22 April 1946, Gilbert recorded the following exchange with Ribbentrop:Irving is of course aware of this exchange, but suppresses altogether in his book.
[Ribbentrop] "... Tell me - I wasn't in court on Monday. - Did Hoess15 actually say - that Hitler had ordered the mass murders?"
[Gilbert] "He said that Himmler gave him a direct Führerbefehl for extermination of the Jews in 1941."
Ribbentrop held his head in his hand and repeated in a descending whisper, " - '41 - '41 - '41 - My God! - Did Hoess say in '41?"[...]
[Ribbentrop] "... All those years - a man to whom children came so trustingly and lovingly. It must have been a fanatic madness - there is no doubt now that Hitler ordered it? I thought even up to now that perhaps Himmler, late in the war, under some pretext -. But '41, he said? My God! My God!16

Since June 12, the eyes of most everyone on the planet have been on 2014 World Cup soccer action in Brazil. But even with the U.S. team's stunning upset win Monday against Ghana, it remains to be seen whether Americans will pay much attention.
What is it with us? We get our kids playing soccer not long after they learn to run. But how many among us will, Super Bowl-like, block off July 13 to watch the final match between the best players in existence?
Americans are definitely split on the matter of soccer. For our latest Love It/Hate It smackdown, staff members Lisa Wrenn and Chuck Barney present two sides in the epic debate about what is indisputably the globe's most popular sport (and which, by the way, the rest of the world calls football).
Hate it
Soccer cracks me up. It's the only sport where the goal is wide enough to accommodate a midsized SUV, yet you've got 20-plus players scrambling around like crazy for what seems like an eternity, and they hardly ever manage to kick the ball into the blasted net! (Didn't you just cherish that scoreless stalemate between Nigeria and Iran?) Soccer players score so seldom, in fact, that when they do, they go bonkers like they can't believe -- OMG! -- it actually happened. I realize that it is no longer PC to ridicule the sport, especially during the World Cup when everyone is swept up in mindless nationalism. And I have no doubt that soccer players are supreme athletes (way to get your cardio!). But let's face it: The sport is still boring. How boring? I fell asleep twice just trying to write this.
-- Chuck Barney
Love it
What I love is that people who say soccer's a snooze are the first to turn the channel to golf. OK, so part of my love of soccer is idealistic and, yes, I do enjoy being parked on a couch or bar stool with eyes on the same game as everyone else on the planet. And, yes, I love that it's a sport kids of all ages, both genders and all countries, can't get enough of, whether it's on a dirt field, a city park or a suburban sports complex. But I also can't help but think those who find soccer boring just don't understand the game. After 15 years of watching my daughters on fields all over Northern California, I'm mesmerized by the pros and their surprising strategies, quiet signals and ball control. The lack of a score? That's called delayed gratification -- it simply makes a goal all the sweeter.
-- Lisa Wrenn
So how about you? What do you think about soccer, whether the game itself or as a televised spectator event? Send your responses, along with your name, city and suggestions for other smackdowns to email@example.com by Wednesday. Please put "love/hate" in the subject line.

As part of its ongoing protest of the U.S. government's prosecution of computer programmer and activist Aaron Swartz, who committed suicide on Jan. 11, Anonymous this weekend hacked the website of the U.S. Sentencing Commission, www.ussc.gov. The initial hack was standard Anonymous fare, replacing the USSC homepage with a video in which a creepy computerized voice spouted pompous pseudo-revolutionary threats.
But after the site went offline and then was restored, it was infiltrated again on Sunday-and Anonymous social media accounts distributed code that turned the USSC homepage into a playable game of Asteroids.
When the site went down again, the hackers moved on to a different government website: that of the U.S. Probation Office for the Eastern District of Michigan. There the Asteroids hack is still live as I write this Monday morning. Typing in the Konami code brings up a pop-up message.
Click OK and the Nyan Cat appears, allowing you to fire at will on the surrounding page until nothing remains but a picture of Swartz (see image at top).
I'd be hard-pressed to point to any actions Anonymous has taken against the U.S.
That said, the Asteroids hack appears to be relatively playful and benign-a far more fitting tribute to Swartz than a bunch of overblown threats to inflict "chaos" and make the Department of Justice feel "helplessness and fear," notwithstanding the inevitable "collateral damage." If the goal is to dissuade government officials from overly harsh crackdowns on hackers, scaring people is only going to undermine the cause.

A hidden-camera TV news story on security at St. Louis schools led to a lockdown Thursday at Kirkwood High and complaints from angry parents.
A KSDK-TV reporter visited four elementary schools and the St. Louis County high school for the report on school safety. The station showed on its Thursday night broadcast how its staff member could not enter four schools unimpeded, but walked right into Kirkwood High School, where the door was not locked.
The KSDK reporter initially gave his name and cellphone number to office personnel, and when the Kirkwood High secretary left to get the school resource officer, the man left the office, said Kirkwood School District spokeswoman Ginger Cayce. Administrators became alarmed when he asked the location of a restroom and left the office, but went a different direction, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
He didn't answer when they called his cellphone, but his voicemail said he was a KSDK reporter. Cayce said she tried three times to confirm he was actually with KSDK, but didn't have any success.
"I told them 'I'm going to have to go into lockdown if you can't confirm that this was a test,'" she said. "When we couldn't confirm or deny it, we had no choice."
The school went into lockdown, leaving Kirkwood students and teachers in classrooms with the lights off for about 40 minutes.
KSDK broadcast a statement later Thursday standing by its reporting.
"This lockdown certainly was not the intent of our visit," KSDK said in the statement, pointing out that the lockdown didn't happen for an hour until after the reporter left. The station says the reporter "identified himself by name" to school officials. However, KSDK didn't claim that he identified himself as a reporter.
Cayce said the incident highlighted problems in security, but said "we are still dismayed that a call was not given after to let us know this was a test."
Some parents said that while they did not like the disruption, they were more concerned about possible security lapses.
Stacey Woodruff said she was in tears when she heard about the lockdown, and spent the duration on her cellphone with her 14-year-old daughter.
"She kept saying, 'Mom, I'm OK,'" Woodruff said. "When I found out it was KSDK, I was and still am livid."

Parish looking to sell bonds for road project
Published: Sunday, January 20, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 20, 2013 at 12:09 a.m.
Terrebonne Parish government wants the State Bond Commission to approve a roughly $11 million public improvement bond for a major road, drainage and bridge project in Houma.
The money will be used to extend and connect Westside Boulevard from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to La. 311, which would provide a direct access route across Houma.
The Parish Council, which is expected to back the plan, will hold a public hearing on the matter at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the Government Tower, 8026 Main St., Houma.
"If we are successful with this, it will allow a direct, unimpeded trip from the St. Louis Canal Road all the way to the Valhi Extension, which takes you across La. 24, Martin Luther King and La. 311," said Parish Manager Al Levron.
This will include drainage needs along the road, as well as a bridge to cross Little Bayou Black.
If money is left over, Levron said it may be spent on further improvements to the sports complex to be built off La. 311 near the Terrebonne Lakes Subdivision.
Parish officials said this is an economically sound investment because interest rates are low.
Revenue from a quarter-cent sales tax, which is a reoccurring tax that has been in place in Terrebonne since 1979, will be used to pay off revenue bonds within 20 years, said Chief Financial Officer Jamie Elfert.
The biggest local public improvement bond was in 2011, at $49 million, for the Morganza levee project, Elfert said.
"This will not result in a tax increase," Levron said. "We are going to utilize our existing taxing authority to borrow the money. We have been able to pay off bonds for previously improved projects, and we have identified that we can borrow more money to work on this project."
Levron explained the money lending in terms of a cash account.
"We got money coming in and we're going to go to the bank and borrow money so we can pay for it all right now."
Levron said he expects the bond commission to approve the request because Terrebonne is financially stable.
"We have a very high bond rating, so that makes us a very good investment."
If the bond commission approves the parish's request, the parish will then divvy out bids.
"The person who offers the lowest interest rate we will accept their proposal," Levron said.
Levron said the quarter-cent sales tax has been used to finance other things in the parish such as the Terrebonne General Medical Center and the Civic Center.

In Their Own Words – A Graduation Surprise
This "In Their Own Words" essay is written by Tonya L. Jones of Detroit, Mich. She is the proud mother of Joshua Jones, who has autism.
My son, Joshua, is six years old and has just really begun to communicate verbally within the last year or so. We went through such a long period of his repeating everything that I when he began to ask questions and tell me what he wanted for breakfast, I was astounded. Although Joshua was diagnosed only 3 1/2 years ago, this journey with autism already seems like an eternity. But, praise God, he is progressing extremely well and seems to surprise us almost daily with new accomplishments.
Joshua has been in an ASD preschool classroom for three years and during this last year, he began to spend more and more time in a regular ed kindergarten class at his school. He has the most amazing teachers and assistants who are more than patient with him, and I couldn't be more thankful for all the time and effort they have invested in my son. As the school year came to a close, I was told that Joshua would be graduating with the kindergarten class and that there would be a ceremony and everything! I was just beside myself! My son would march in and graduate with his peers – WOW! I know it was kindergarten, but it was still an amazing accomplishment and his dad and I could not have been more proud.
On graduation day, my husband and I were sitting in the audience waiting for the ceremony to begin. I looked at the program and to my complete shock, there was my son's name – Joshua was scheduled to lead the audience in "The Pledge of Allegiance!" I could not believe my eyes. I later found out that his teacher did not tell us because she wanted it to be a surprise. Well surprise was an understatement. I was completely stunned!
As the ceremony began, Joshua marched in with his classmates and when it was time for the pledge, he stood up in front of everyone, held the microphone and recited the pledge as we all repeated after him. Oh, what a miraculous moment! Just one short year ago, he could not speak a complete sentence and now he was leading dozens of people in reciting "The Pledge of Allegiance." There are no words to describe the joy that still fills my heart every time I think about it.
I'm sure there will be many more proud moments we share with Joshua. I thank God continually for blessing us with such an amazing child. He is kind, loving and giving, and literally makes me smile every day.
I videotaped that portion of the ceremony and Joshua never gets tired to watching himself. That's okay, though. I never get tired of watching him, either.

Wow! What an amazing story!
August 8, 2010 at 11:44 am
wo this story brings me to tears , and is so familiar god bless Joshua and your family
August 8, 2010 at 12:39 pm
I know exactly how you feel my son was also diagnosed at 3 years old and he didn't start talking until he started head start his teachers were great. The only thing is that my son started out in general education because I felt it would help him better but he also received services too. He was in a play for his Head Start graduation , I wasn't able to attend but my mom said he was great he knew his part very well. It doesn't seem like much to others but 4 us its an Amazing accomplishment . Hope he continues to do well..
August 8, 2010 at 1:20 pm
Praise the Lord!!!!
August 8, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Wow, this is an awesome story. My son Joshua is 3 1/2 and has autism also. He's been mostly non-verbal also. He's currently going to Relief Nursery and will start at a special school in the fall. I've noticed in the last few months he's starting to say more words though he's a long way from making sentences.
August 8, 2010 at 3:36 pm
Thanks so much for sharing your story!
August 8, 2010 at 4:26 pm
Your story is so touching. I have a little brother with autism and he is not speaking any word yet I am so proud of your child's accomplishment and give all faith that soon my brother too will begin speaking.. I have been praying so that this miracle come true.
August 8, 2010 at 10:42 pm
I love this story. I can feel the emotion as I am reading it. Thank you for sharing.
August 8, 2010 at 11:38 pm
that is amazing!! It truly brought tears to my eyes. Your family is an inspiration to me to continue to press even harder with my son. I pray one day he'll follow in Joshua's footsteps.
August 9, 2010 at 9:04 am
I cried when I read this. My son just finished his ASD preschool program. When he started 2 years ago, you could barely communicate with him. We went to see a new doctor last week and he asked me if I was sure he was on the spectrum because he is moving along so fast according to his medical reports.
I have been doubting myself all weekend. Thank you!
August 9, 2010 at 11:17 am
It's hard to type because I am still crying. My three-year-old's ability to communicate disappeared about age 1. I saw my sweet, smart infant retreat into a "parallel universe." Her official diagnosis came only six months ago, but via intensive treatment, she is already making some progress–nothing compared to your son, however. Yet your story gives me hope that someday, she too will succeed! Thank you.
August 9, 2010 at 9:40 pm
Wow! I'm so happy for you, my son also has shown some amazing abilities. It truly is wonderful when you see them see the light.
August 10, 2010 at 9:36 pm
What an inspiration! I can barely type through the tears. I am dreaming of the day when my son Ben will talk to us. He is now 3 1/2 and after 18 months of intensive therapy has made little progress. we are not giving up– ever!

- Seasonal (15)
A blue plastic egg becomes Pablo. All it takes is some easy-to-find supplies, such as wiggly eyes and construction paper.
Catch the Backyardigans on Nick Jr.
Parents, use the craft knife to bore a tiny hole in the top of the wide end of the egg. Later, the whirligig on Pablo's beanie will be inserted through this hole.
With the wide part of the egg at the top, have kids press on two wiggly eyes. From the yellow construction paper, cut a small diamond shape, and fold it in half to make the beak. Add glue to the back of the one half of the folded diamond and have kids press it onto the face close to the eyes.
With the red pipe cleaner, twist a tiny figure-8 shape at the end, then kids can poke it through the hole in the egg. Inside, twist the pipe cleaner, and if desired, glue it to keep it from wobbling. From the yellow felt, cut a 1-inch-round circle. Cut from the outside of the circle to its center point only. Slip the slit around the pipe cleaner, and glue the circle to the egg.
From the foam or construction paper, cut an 8- by 1-inch strip. Create a ring, overlapping the ends and stapling or gluing them in place. Cut out a little bowtie and glue it to the collar. Set Pablo inside.

January 17, 2006
Tuesday was the first day back to school at North Augusta High School since Sunday's death of two of their students. This makes three North Augusta High School students who've died in wrecks since September. So today was a day of healing at the school. Tonight at nine there will be a vigil to remember Robby Kasten and Bobby Kotz. Just last week there was another vigil in North Augusta to remember the young brothers. A lot of tragedy is hitting this community, and now the community is in need of a lot of healing.
Dozens of North Augusta High School students spend time in the media center to talk through their pain with school counselors and local ministers.
"Everybody's kind of working together to make sure these kids are taken care of, just letting them go through the healing process," said Principal Kyle Smith.
Healing, after losing three students in car crashes this school year. Sophomore Robby Kasten and senior Bobby Kotz on Sunday and sophomore Casey Delmore in September.
"North Augusta High School is a family of 1,500, so these kids are hurting and I know the families are hurting," Smith said.
Mark Owens talked with students throughout the day. He's the youth pastor at First Baptist Church of North Augusta.
"There really isn't words that's going to help them to understand. They're going to go through all the range of emotions from anger and frustration to not knowing and doubt," Owens said.
The three deaths at North Augusta High School are just several of the recent tragedies that have hit this community hard. There was the shooting and murder at the Huddle House in November and the murder/suicide last week. To help the community heal, First Baptist is holding a service Thursday night.
North Augustans will pray together Thursday for support and each other. But this community is also looking to others for support.
"Our community needs the prayers of other communities," Owens said.
The healing service will be at First Baptist Church in North Augusta on Thursday evening at 5 o'clock.
There will be a candlelight vigil Tuesday night, tonight, at 9 o'clock at Christ Baptist Church off Five Notch Road.

The summer of 2012 brings a unique opportunity to The National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. One of the most famous and well decorated artists in history is featured in a exhibition of his great work. Upwards of 40 paintings and artworks are on display for the public, some of which have rarely been shown before. Van Gogh: Up Close will be featured until September 3, and has already been on display since May. Vincent Van Gogh, one of the most famous artists in history, is on display in Canada for the first time in 25 years. The Dutch artist displays his love for nature in this collection of various landscapes and beautiful settings. The show includes Iris (1889), from the National Gallery of Canada's collection, as well as paintings depicting another corner of the garden where Van Gogh painted Iris.
Van Gogh: Up Close is a chance to see expressionism at its finest. If you love art, Van Gogh, or are looking to do something different in the nation's capital, we highly suggest you take a look at this exhibit. The Albert House Inn is only a short distance from the gallery and less than a 12 minute drive away. Created in 1880, the National Gallery of Canada is among the oldest of Canada's national cultural institutions. The Van Gogh experience is open Daily from 10 am to 6 pm, Thursdays to 8 pm with the last ticket of the day issued 90 minutes before exhibition's closing.

I have always wanted to invent a new word. Not any old word, but a word that would gets used even in the deepest, darkest corners of coffee shops in Amsterdam. Not that I would ever get to hear the word used. I don't like coffee! So let's try vistarization. The process of a sensible, definitely obvious idea degenerating into a heavy weight project that takes many extra years to complete. I have images of small spacecraft trying to divert asteroids that are going to hit the Earth.
The question to ask is when you see a horde of IP related lawyers being super charged in a magnetron and you feel the static as the springs are being coiled for a big advertising campaign. The question is, what are you going to do about it? Is the free software community ready for the heralded embrace and consumption of a pseudo-proprietary, well-integrated set of services? Can Gnome or KDE or XGL transfer seamlessly into the pseudo-3D world? I'm not so sure? I hope I'm missing the point. Just because a process is as slow moving as quicksand and as easy to anticipate does not mean that the process is not a danger to the biodiversity of the world around it. Magma slowly eroding the side of a mountain village comes to my fevered mind.
So we know the services that will be available from the out role. We know what may be coming in service pack 1. So let's go on an intellectual hunting expedition. What I want from you community orientated folk is to be educated. I intuitively feel that there are many excellent tools out there in the wild just waiting for some KDE or Gnome Linux distribution to increase its value from. If you know of such proactively deadly assault tools can you make a comment with a link and share your knowledge with the rest of us? Can we legally invade and consume the XBOX/XBOX 360 universe creating a wonderful multimedia home experience, perhaps for the price of zero? Embrace and consume I say, embrace and consume and enjoy a really good free software streaming experience.
Yep, it is time for controllers such as dance mats and Nintendo Wii pointers to force us fat, saddened developers and administrators to physically interact with our environment. Wouldn't it be nice to go home to our families with bodies rippling and healthy from exercise? No more empty pizza boxes. Just 16 hours of gruelling breakdancing. Yes, an hour of force feedback to tone those stomach muscles. 12 minutes of sprinting to avoid a kernel panic! And xcruiser to make us stronger in the hunt for that missing jar file or permission.
3D remains overrated
The difference between the pseudo-3D of "stacked" windows, which I've had on my desktop for years, and the pseudo-3D of slightly transparent stacked windows generated by a 3D controller, is basically that the text is harder to read on the transparent windows.
REAL applications of 3D (such as an operating system metaphor of rooms and halls -- a "dungeon" as it were) or more compelling metaphors requires a lot of thought that doesn't seem to have been done. It's possible that it isn't really meant to be, IMHO. After all, we can only actually see 2D at once, so the advantage to a 3D environment remains marginal.
Of course, a true immersive 3D virtual reality environment has possibilities -- but I don't think anybody is offering that just yet.
I would predict that if there is a breakout 3D model, it'll come from hackers experimentation, and not from a market leader like Microsoft. And I predict there will be much wreckage of failed attempts before there is anything like success.
Part of the problem is that, while 3D graphics have gotten quite reasonably priced, the controllers are much stickier.
One of the great reasons for the success of the mouse is that it is extremely cheap to make (e.g. digitizer pens and tablets are far higher fidelity, but are still expensive enough that most people don't bother with them).
Unit costs
Good point,
However, I think the icing on the cake is worth a few extra dollars per unit of mass production.
So, you have a digitizer pen, then? ;-)
Are you one of the rare few who is using your computer with a digitizer pen and tablet?
Not many people buy them, so there must not be many people who put enough value on them. The message of the market seems to be "the mouse is good enough". I suppose some people might be persuaded to add a game controller instead (would that help?) (those are still pretty cheap).
My point is that 3D must either offer a compelling new interaction experience, or the input hardware must be extraordinarily cheap. So far, most 3D hardware is more than $100 a unit, so it's still far from "a few extra dollars per unit of mass production". Maybe that's merely a matter of production runs, but so far, I haven't seen the breakout product.
I was expecting something like the "Spaceball" to take off, but it still seems to be a pretty niche-oriented product (maybe it's because they never release free software drivers!).
I'm also interested in 3D interfaces, but after a lot of years of hype (and none of the reality), I've become skeptical.
One good idea
Yes, in search of that one good idea. Something like the WII, but with a little more force feedback and the related visual experience?

UNC-Charlotte fraternity under investigation
Published: Wednesday, October 2, 2013 at 3:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 2, 2013 at 3:33 p.m.
CHARLOTTE (AP) — A fraternity at the University of North Carolina Charlotte has been suspended as college officials and law enforcement investigate a pledge's hospitalization.
Authorities say an 18-year-old pledge of Pi Kappa Alpha was taken to a hospital Sept. 7 after failing to wake up during the fraternity's campout in Uwharrie National Forest. The student's blood alcohol level was 0.42, or more than five times the legal limit.
The student has recovered and is back in school.
College officials said in a statement that the fraternity is on interim suspension while the college investigates possible conduct violations. That means the fraternity can't hold any activities. The Montgomery County Sheriff's office is separately investigating potential criminal charges.

Largest-ever Mardi Gras float has a little hiccup
Published: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 9:37 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 9:37 a.m.
NEW ORLEANS — In a city known for overindulgence, maybe the largest-ever Mardi Gras float was a little too much.
The 330-foot long super float built by the Krewe of Endymion had to be separated in half to make a turn during its parade Saturday. Shelton Carr, who was working security at the Superdome, says the float was separated and then re-attached so it could continue to roll.
The turn was only a minor hiccup. The parade finished its route ahead of schedule.
The float ended its journey at the Superdome, where thousands of revelers were decked out in black tie attire. It was the first major event at the venue since the Super Bowl power blackout.
The multimillion-dollar float holds more than 200 riders. The parade's celebrity grand marshal was Kelly Clarkson.

DENVER - For 37 years, Delouise Guerra never knew for certain what happened to the young man she called her baby brother, an 18-year-old Marine from Colorado who was missing and presumed dead after a helicopter crash on the other side of the world.
The Defense Department, however, told Guerra two months ago it had positively identified the remains of the man who disappeared so long ago, Pfc. James Jacques.
"Oh my God, it's a relief to know that they have found his final remains," Guerra said. "It's just an honor to bring him home."
Article Photos
Danny Marshall
The Colorado Marine was killed during the rescue of the crew of the S.S. Mayaguez, an American cargo ship seized by Cambodia's Khmer Rouge two days earlier on May 12, 1975.
Jacques will be buried with full military honors at Fort Logan National Cemetery in Denver on Tuesday on what would have been his 56th birthday.
Jacques was among hundreds of Marines and airmen sent to storm Koh Tang Island, about 60 miles off the coast of Cambodia, to rescue the Mayaguez crew. A helicopter carrying Jacques and 25 others crashed into the surf off Koh Tang Island amid unexpectedly heavy fire from Cambodian fighters.
Half the men on the helicopter were rescued, but the other 13 were declared missing, including Jacques.
All 39 crew Mayaguez members were released safely by Cambodia, but some 40 U.S. servicemen were killed, including U.S. Marine Pvt. Danny G. Marshall of Waverly.
Marshall's remains have not been recovered.
Marshall, Gary Hall and Joe Hargrove, a machine gun team, were overlooked during the Mayaguez Incident. The Marines were assigned to protect the flank during an evacuation of Koh Tang Island in the Gulf of Thailand off the Coast of Cambodia.
In the course of the evacuation, the three were overlooked and left behind. They were never seen again.
Marshall, an 18-year-old private, was declared dead by the military more than a year later, but his remains were never recovered.
In July 1976, the military changed his status from missing to died while missing. It is believed the three men were executed by the Khmer Rouge and their names are among the last on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
Jacques' dog tags were found in 1992, but his remains weren't positively identified until this year, said Air Force Maj. Carie Parker of the Defense Prisoner of War and Missing Personnel Office.
A Cambodian had turned over the remains to a U.S.-Cambodian search team in 2007. Newly available DNA technology allowed researchers to confirm the identity this year.
Guerra got the news in a letter from the Marines that arrived at her Denver home on Aug. 14. Her son Bob was with her.
"I started crying because I knew it was about my brother," she said. "We were crying, we jumped, we hollered."
Guerra, now 71, was 15 when Jacques was born.
"He was a very loving, very caring - well, he was my baby brother," she said. "He was just a really good person."
Jacques grew up in La Junta, a small town about 140 miles southeast of Denver. He joined the Marines in October 1974, shortly after his 18th birthday. His family was apprehensive but didn't try to dissuade him, Guerra said.
"It was something he wanted to do," Guerra said. "He wanted to go and serve his country and do his best."
He died just seven months after enlisting.
Twelve of the 13 missing servicemen are now confirmed to have died, Parker said. She said she could not discuss the 13th because an investigation is ongoing.
The Mayaguez operation is considered the last U.S. military engagement in Southeast Asia after the long and bloody war in Vietnam. The last U.S. combat troops left South Vietnam in 1973, and the South Vietnamese capital fell to North Vietnam on April 30, 1975, just two weeks before the Mayaguez engagement.
Thirty-seven years after his death, there is no closure for the Marshall family and few answers.
"There's no closure," said Danielle Jones, Marshall's niece. "It is kind of hard on everybody just because we don't know."
Kelton R. Turner is reported as the last American soldier killed in the Vietnam War. Kelton, an 18-year-old Marine, was killed in action two weeks after the evacuation of Saigon on May 15, 1975.
Others list Hall, Hargrove and Marshall as the last to die in Vietnam.
Marshall's body has never been recovered.
"There are so many conflicting stories on what happened to those three we will probably never know," Jones said. "It seems like every member of the Khmer Rouge, every one knows exactly where all three are buried, but they go to excavate the site and they are never there."
Jones and her son, Daniel, are both named in memory of Marshall.
Marshall came from a family of eight children. Born in 1957, he grew up in Waverly. While Marshall's birthday is listed as March 9, Jones said his mother always celebrated it March 10. He would have been 55 this weekend.
Jones said both of Danny's parents are gone; his mother died in 2008.
"His brothers and sister don't talk about it," Jones said. "My mom does, but she has been sick, so I have taken over dealing with this."
Marshall's family is hesitant to speak with the media. The family opted not to participate in last year's Vietnam Memorial Wall service at City Park. Jones was recovering from surgery and her mother had been sick. The rest of the family has tried to avoid the spotlight.
"My family has been hounded by anybody that thinks they can make a story out of anything," she said. "I've grown up with it. I have been hounded myself."
There have been books written about the Mayaguez Incident and Jones said the family is often approached when rumors surface of government officials going back to recover the bodies of missing soldiers.
Jones said the family is often misquoted in books, articles and stories about Marshall.
"At one point it was so crazy for a few days I had to unplug the house phone and barricade the door because of the reporter," Jones said.
Still, she lends her time to those seeking information about her uncle.
"I do everything I can," she said.
Jones said she gets emails from kids and students from around the country seeking information about Marshall and the Mayaguez Incident.
"They want to do book reports," she said. "I will ask them what they need."
Jones, a 2002 graduate of Williamstown High School, did a report on Marshall.
Jones hopes one day Marshall will be found, but after close to 40 years of waiting and hoping she's not optimistic.
Family members placed a bronze headstone in Marshall's memory in the family cemetery. The headstone was replaced a few years ago after it- along with a number of bronze flower holders-were stolen.
"Ideally, we would love to have him brought home," Jones said. "Is it something worth counting on? Probably not."

Filed Under (Honda) by admin on 17-03-2011
SYMPTOM When the engine is first started after the vehicle has sat overnight, customers may "feel" the release of the throttle plate through the accelerator pedal. Some describe it as a one-time "pop" sensation. Customers may have trouble explaining this phenomenon because: They can't repeat it because it only happens one time, when the engine is cold. The accelerator pedal works normally at all other times. There are no other symptoms. It may be intermittent, happening only during cooler weather. PROBABLE CAUSE The symptom is caused by normal buildup of contaminants in the throttle bore, combined with expansion and contraction of the throttle body. CORRECTIVE ACTION Partially remove the throttle body, and clean it with Honda carburetor cleaner or throttle plate and induction cleaner. REPAIR PROCEDURE 1. Remove the breather tube from the air intake duct, unclip the vacuum lines from the duct, and remove the duct from the throttle body. See Fig. 1 . Fig. 1: Removing Air Intake Duct 2. Disconnect the TPS and MAP connectors from the throttle body. 3. Remove the throttle cable and, if equipped, the cruise control actuator cable from the throttle body. 4. Remove the throttle body mounting nuts and bolts, then slide the throttle body off its studs on the intake manifold chamber. Leave the coolant hoses connected. See Fig. 2 . 5. Put a shop towel under the throttle body, open the throttle, then clean out any contaminants from the intake manifold side of the throttle body with carburetor cleaner or throttle plate and induction cleaner. See Fig. 3 . NOTE: To avoid damaging the idle air control valve (IACV), spray the cleaner through the back of the throttle body, not the front.

Right now Rozie is building with Legos. Not the tiny ones not even the larger Duplos but the big Mega block size that are perfect for her little hands. This task and size are age appropriate for a two year old and i feel a smile spread on my face, a smile of acceptance. I accept you Rozie i feel like saying out loud. I accept you and your diagnosis. This is easy to do when she is performing at a level that i find appropriate.
Rozie has recently regressed in her walking. She was standing,then taking steps, then more steps, and it was all so exciting, until one day she sat down and went back to crawling and refuses to walk again.
I know this is a stage and next week she could be vertical again, but acceptance is a little harder when the task is so darn frustrating. She is two years old now and i have been carrying her for exactly two years, and often my back hurts, and my bones are still sore from the chemo. The walking milestone is eating up my acceptance.
I love my children. I love them with a deep strong fire that is often hard to put into words, but acceptance is another story. Just because we love our children does not mean we necessarily accept our sweet ones. It can be a hard mountain to climb because love is instinctual, but acceptance is learned.
Many of us think we accept, but its often the easy stuff we accept and we like to push the rest under the rug. This is our natural instinct, because like i said before 100% acceptance is learned not instinctual. Its easy to accept her when she is playing nicely, but when she refuses to walk on the outdoor playground and wants to crawl in the mulch my acceptance tolerance wears thin and i get a little mad at Down syndrome.
I know its silly because this scenario could be rewritten to fit many circumstances with and without a diagnosis. Its just easier to blame it on something, so i blame the extra chromosome. "Darn you chromosome just let her WALK"! Its really not so logical and like many times in my life i know i have to make a choice.
This morning i felt my frustration pot boiling over as Rozie crawled onto our deck. Inevitably when she crawls around on the deck she gets splinters from the flooring that needs a good sanding and a coat of paint. As i am pulling these splinters from her legs, and she is crying my frustration starts to grow and my acceptance starts to decrease.
This is not me and not the parent i want to be. I know if i was observing this situation from the outside i would have so many comments and changes for that parent. I need to breath and accept. Breath in and out, breath in and out , calm down and accept.
I thank Hashem everyday for my daughter, because of her i took off my dark shades i use to wear in life and look at our world with a new technicolor acceptance. I no longer see mental disorders, disabilities, and special needs. Only beautiful people and gorgeous Neshamas. I never had that vision before Rozie. I saw a lot differences, social lines, and everything was kind of clouded over with a fog like my glasses needed a good wiping. Its amazing that this one little chromosome can frustrated me and make me so happy all at the same time. I decided to let it go about the walking. Its just a vertical position and soon she will get there even if it takes months. Accepting my Rozie isn't just accepting her strengths its accepting the entire package including her struggles. Acceptance means i will open my arms wide to my daughter through her entire life, whether she gets married and lives independently, or if she grows up and still needs care and assistance. She is my daughter my baby, she is part of me. I love her with everything i have, and i also accept her not because she scores high on her evaluations, but because she is mine and i am hers. Acceptance is love and love is acceptance and i have a lot of room for both.

Has the hidden talent of being an excellent juggler. His first job was working construction with his step-dad at 15. Would be arguing with somebody ("Probably be a lawyer") if he wasn't playing hockey professionally. If he could hang out with one person in history it would be Nelson Mandela ("His book was phenomenal"). If faced with the situation of fighting one horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses, he would want to fight 100 ducksized horses. Biggest influence on his hockey career was his family. Names Sidney Crosby the most exciting player to watch in the NHL. In his hometown of Surrey, BC, Scott Hannan enjoys hanging out with his family.

Liverpool Message Board
John W. Henry's Reaction to Arsenal
I happed to be awake until almost 4am US last night, and caught it right after it happened via Twitter. (There have been absolutely no reports indicating a hacked account or it not JWH)
"What do you think they're smoking over there at Emirates" - John W. Henry. @John_W_Henry
This was in response to what I find as one of the most derisory attempts at causing unrest, as I can ever remember in the transfer market with Arsenal putting forth a 40,000,001, with the 1 pound, being above the 40M threshold requiring Liverpool to have a formal discussion / notification with Suarez, with him being able to have communication with them, but not forcing any release clause or firesale. LFC still hold all cards.
If they want him, they can pay the 50-55M that Rodgers has indicated, or 45M + Giroud, or Podolski or Walcott. I don't see those latter happening, and now because Mr. Whinger has played with fire, and lost out on Higuain to Napoli, he must appease his critics and fans, and continue forward.
I now hope and await a very satisfactory offer from Madrid, which allows us to rid of Suarez, add 2-3 players and time to find their targeted replacements, leaving Arsenal with absolutely nothing. End of. And I now hope we throttle Arsenal as badly as I could want vs MUtd.. They should offer the EPL 40M and 1 pound for a pretend trophy to put on their mantle before another decade passes..Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I do believe the answer to Mr Henry's question is 'White Widow'
dsteer_lfc_68 dsteer_lfc_68 Jul 24, 2013 20:50 Flag
I know we differ on wanting Suarez go stay or go, but think you'll agree with most of this.
My Transfer Dreams:
Bale to Madrid, late in the transfer window draining Real's transfer budget but coming too late for Levy to spend his money.
Rooney to Chelsea after July 31, meaning Moyes will have to pay a kings ransom for Fellani or look elsewhere.
While still with Man U, they keep embarrassing themselves by each week between now and September raising their bid for Cesc by 5M but to no success, because Cesc actually wants to play for Barca
Arsenal turned down by LFC turn to chase Rooney but are snubbed as he decides to go to West London, so Wenger starts trying to throw cash at every known name in Europe to no avail, while everyone looks on and laughs
Suarez publicly comes out and says one day he'd like to play in Spain but is determined to leave LFC after we've won the league and CL again. He'll buckle down, not bite anyone, not say an offensive or colourful word all season, and will bang in 30 goals in the league (but still be snubbed by the PFA).
City to win the league, Chelsea runners up, while Manchester sink to 3rd with speculation rife on the future of Moyes. We take 4th by 6 points, while Spurs and Arsenal fight out for a Europa spot.
Yes I know you think I'm dreaming, but actually I got hold of Henry and he sent me a sample of what he thought might be burning up the emirates board room, and oh how happy I am now!!!

Not sure anyone would disagree with you there in that scenario Dave, with the exception that maybe you take a few more hits, and we even manage a 3rd place finish, and somehow PSG goes bankrupt forcing them to offload EC7 to us in exchange for Suarez who would play in the French second division.
Aside from the Cigars Mr.Whinger was smoking, which came as a gift from Fergie as a gesture for handing him Robin van Persie and the Prem Title last year, they either pay us 50M+, and asap, or they take a hike and sign some more 16 and 17 yo's from France while we tell Suarez to beg Madrid for an offer in excess of 40M + Alvaro Morata. Then we take that 40, buy Bernard, Eriksen, Soldado, Alderweireld and kick of this 2013/14 party right!

Time travel is a wacky thing. It rarely works in the movies, at least if you think about it too much. Like in this past summer's "Looper," the one with Bruce Willis and that cute actor with the three names that I can't ever remember, in which bad guys in the future are transported back 30 years to the past to be instantly shot and disposed of by a team of paid assassins.
Good movie all around. But if they could send people back to a pinpoint time and location, why not skip the assassins and just drop the guys in an active volcano? Or in the middle of the ocean? Or send them farther back to the Triassic period and let dinosaurs munch on them? I'm just saying.
While time machinations may be brain-bruising concepts in Hollywood, they often occur in real life without any kind of fancy equipment. Like when you get a whiff of freshly cut wood and are instantly transported to a Sunday afternoon wandering around the Minton's Lumber Supply in Cupertino with your dad. Or when time is just plain wrong, like when your high school pal tells you a reunion is coming up and it's been XX years (censored to protect the aging) and there's no way it's been that long. Or when weird conundrums happen, like with this column -- I'm writing it in the now (to me), and you're reading it the now (to you). How can now transcend newsprint?
Flexing the flux capacitor
This past weekend I visited the past, circa the 1930s, when I was asked to cover the 29th annual Art Deco Preservation Ball, which celebrated the 40th anniversary of the 1973 restoration of the one-and-only Paramount Theatre in Oakland, built in 1931.
Clearly all those digits, rearranged and theoretically placed relative to one another in some kind of mathematical family tree add up to the precise formula necessary to build a functioning flux capacitor in a DeLorean.
But I didn't even need that! Merely setting foot across the portal of the Paramount -- through the side entry by the box office and into the lower hall -- I was conveyed to the 1930s, caressed by halcyon lighting, lured by the haunting moan of a saxophone in the distance and surrounded by clusters of gentlemen in tuxedos and ladies in sultry satin gowns with beaded bags, white mink stoles hugging their shoulders and their lips stained a matte red, resembling rose petals pressed neatly in a book.
Since this was a celebration of the theater -- the movie palace masterpiece of architect Timothy Pflueger is known throughout the world as one of the best examples of that era -- I paid closer attention to the beauty and detail of our art deco gem: the golden naked ladies draped in flowing scarves a la Isadora Duncan and forever frozen in bas relief against the walls; the glistening ceilings and curved mirrored niches in various alcoves.
For the ball, they'd closed off the front lobby doors, set up a bandstand for Don Neely's Royal Society Jazz Orchestra and slapped down a dance floor beneath the grand staircase. In the auditorium, organist extraordinaire Jerry Nagano's fingers and feet danced on the Mighty Wurlitzer.
A previous life
I've been in the Paramount many times -- for concerts where people are clad in modern clothes, or for a classic movie like "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" where the style is chain mail and shrubberies and Levis. An anachronism within an anachronism within an anachronism. Say that three times fast.
So it was fun to have the full '30s experience, put on by the Art Deco Society of California. And, oddly, the feel was familiar. A previous life, perhaps? A premonition from the upcoming "Great Gatsby" remake? Then I realized, oh my gosh, no! This is just like that scene from "The Shining" where Jack Nicholson drowns his sorrows in the golden glow of the ballroom at the Outlook Hotel and chats with creepy ghost bartender, Lloyd. The room is filled with dressy, jovial guests, and then poor freaked out Shelley Duvall runs through screaming because they've all become skeletons covered in cobwebs and horror.
Yes, it was just like that, except for the skeletons and Duvall and the horror part. But I swear I saw Nicholson lurking around somewhere.
Alas, a rift soon formed in the space-time continuum as several swanky men in top hats and tails snapped smartphone pics of the vintage "seat enunciator" call box in the lobby, knocking me back to the present. So I got back in my Honda-SI-2007 time machine and went home.

The Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases (LPD) conducts basic and applied research on the prevention, control, and treatment of a variety of parasitic and bacterial diseases of global importance. The work of the group is largely directed toward the identification of immunological and molecular targets for disease intervention. The pathogens studied include parasitic protozoa (Leishmania, Toxoplasma, Giardia, Plasmodium, Trypanosoma cruzi, Cryptosporidium, and Entamoeba) and helminths (Filariae, Schistosoma, Strongyloides, and Taenia), as well as non-parasitic agents (e.g., mycobacteria).
LPD includes a clinical group that conducts patient-centered research at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, as well as international field studies in India, Latin America, and Africa. Four new programs focus on genetic determinants of virulence in apicomplexan protozoa, the function of the eosinophil in human infectious and inflammatory disease processes, the role of commensal microbiota in immune regulation and homeostasis, and T-cell regulation in mycobacterial and fungal opportunistic infections.

Got a call from Richi. Yay! =)
Remembered reflection on holidays and resolved to do something different.
Met Kris, Martin-Nix-Tala-Mog's friend. Laid-back sort of person. He's interested in surfing.
Chatted with
Did well: met one new person in real life and talked to another more on the Net.

Darting here and there ...
Û With this Warriors team, it doesn't matter as much if "we believe." Much more important is that "they believe." They just don't require a T-shirt for it to be obvious.
Û The W's have nine road wins this season. Their road-victory total for the last four full seasons, starting with last year and going backward: 11, 10, 8 and 8. So yes, this is very amazing.
Û The Warriors are achieving a lot of firsts dating back decades. Still quite a ways to go yet, but here's another one: They haven't gone to the playoffs with a coach other than Don Nelson since 1986-87 -- 26 years!
Û In case you've lost count, they've had 11 coaches other than Nelson in that span, counting Mark Jackson. Unofficial Sporcle quiz: Can you name them all without peeking in three minutes? We doubt it, even giving you Jackson (answers below).
Û Draymond Green is living proof NBA scouts can't quantify intangibles. The rookie was the 35th pick in the NBA draft, and less than 25 games into his pro career, he's defending LeBron James and making huge plays in crunchtime. Absolute blind steal.
Û Imagining one scout talking to another scout: "Hey, Green spent four years playing in college. There must be something wrong with him."
Û Yes, it was blatant and a bit ugly. But to see David Lee hammer LeBron to the floor as he drove the lane was kind of a beautiful thing. Protecting the paint is precisely the thing the Warriors haven't done for so many losing seasons.
Û Wonder what odds you could have gotten in Vegas on the Warriors being 5½ games ahead of the Lakers on Dec. 14? Too ridiculous to get a line on it, probably.
Û A stat that boggles the mind: The Lakers are 2-11 when Kobe Bryant scores 30 or more points. No wonder Magic Johnson is spending more time hanging out with the Dodgers.
Û Fiscal cliff? The Dodgers and Angels have built one the size of Half Dome down in SoCal.
Û How the Angels are trying to bridge their expenses: They're turning the press box behind home plate into high-end luxury suites, and moving the media down the right field line. A better vantage point to watch Josh Hamilton drop fly balls!
Û In the wake of the Hamilton deal, Bovada online sportsbook has made the Angels the favorite to win the 2013 World Series at 15-2. The Dodgers are second at 8-1. The Giants? Tied for ninth at 14-1. The A's? Tied for 13th at 25-1. Get your bets down.
Û Another one that'll make you want to upchuck: Dodgers and Angels 18-1 to meet in a Freeway Series.
Û Not sure if those Giants odds factor in the return of Andres Torres.
Û Interesting comparison on our Giants blog from a contributor. Shane Victorino will be getting $13 million next year from the Red Sox. Torres will get $2 million from the Giants. Is there really that dramatic a disparity between those two players?
Û Brandon McCarthy, terrific guy and a fairly terrific pitcher when healthy. But the Diamondbacks are risking a lot of cash on a guy who doesn't have a great history of staying healthy.
Û Historical Oddity Dept.: Tom Brady has played only one career game against his favorite boyhood team, the 49ers, and that was during the 2004 season, a 21-7 win in Foxborough against a San Francisco team that went 2-14. Tough to pick a winner, but definitely time for an update.
Û Aldon Smith, closing in on the NFL sack record, doesn't see a future lock Hall of Famer when he looks at Brady. He only sees a stationary target.
Û The ongoing saga of Rolando McClain. Like, yawn, who cares?
Û Roger Goodell, his credibility in ongoing crumble mode, suddenly wants to expand the playoffs and eliminate kickoffs altogether. What next, Rog, a round ball?
Û The 11 Warriors coaches answer: Ed Gregory, Bob Lanier, Rick Adelman, P.J. Carlesimo, Garry St. Jean, Dave Cowens, Brian Winters, Eric Musselman, Mike Montgomery, Keith Smart, Jackson. Quite a list.
Û Finally, Pete Rose has a reality show coming in January on TLC called "Hits and Mrs." that will also feature his fiancee, Playboy model Kiana Kim, plus some of Pete's former wives. Jose Canseco must be so envious.
