The Last Mountain is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s hard-hitting new documentary about the toxic impact of America's coal industry on the health of the nation. CAHIR O'DOHERTY hears the impassioned plea of one of Irish America's most famous sons for an end to the destructive madness.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. breezes into the Crosby Street Hotel in upscale Soho with all the self-assurance his clan is famous for.
The first thing you notice about him is how strongly he resembles his famous father. A young looking 57, he has the ease and agility of a much younger man.
Then in his wake you notice the expensive looking staffers who work alongside him, all of whom seem content to let him take the spotlight.
But the effect of his arrival is not complete until you hear him talking in that languid East Coast accent that has irritated conservatives for generations; it directly connects him to his father and his uncle. This man is undeniably a Kennedy.
And if there's one thing that RFK, Jr. knows about, it's how power is distributed in the United States. It's been a family trade for generations. And these days, Kennedy Jr., the reformed bad boy on a mission, wants to use all of that awareness to do good.
Perhaps this late in life missionary zeal about environmental issues is atonement for the excesses of his rollercoaster life in the public eye. Twice divorced (his most recent one to Mary Richardson Kennedy, after 16 years of marriage, came as late as last year) and once arrested for heroin possession in the 1980s, Kennedy has lived a far from spotless existence, with controversy dogging him at various points.
In a sad coda to their long marriage his ex-wife Mary Kennedy was arrested when a police officer saw her drive her car over a curb near their home in Bedford in upstate New York last year. RFK Jr. did not appear at her arraignment, where she pleaded not guilty.
Twice in the week before her arrest the police had been called to the Kennedy home, and in one call Mary Kennedy reported a dispute between her children. Officers said that there had been no crimes committed and no need for follow-up.
As though to acknowledge all this drama in his private life, we are told before the press conference that our questions should relate to The Last Mountain, the new film Kennedy narrates and stars in.
Given no chance to expand on the man or the details of his life, it's clear he wants this to be an impersonal promotion of the film, not a personal examination of the man behind it.
Critics will scoff that he has some nerve to be addressing environmental issues at all. After all, they say, in 2005 Kennedy was accused of hypocrisy because he received royalty payments for two family-owned oil drilling companies, and also for using private jets while lecturing America about the perils of global warming.
In fairness to him, though, there's nothing in his hard hitting new film about the coal industry that could be described as unfair or unconvincing. Kennedy may have lived an imperfect life, but so have most people, and it doesn't discredit his concern for the nation and its natural resources.
I have to admit I was dreading viewing The Last Mountain. Here we go, I thought -- another windy standoff between economists and environmentalists.
Like most people, before the lights even went down I was glumly anticipating The Last Mountain would be a two hour long lecture delivered by a smug East Coast Brahmin. But thankfully it turned out to be a riveting and infuriating portrait of a local community under siege from big industry, and you can't help but be swept up by the tragic tale.
There are quite a few environmentally safe fuels nowadays but, let's face it, coal isn't one of them. In fact, as The Last Mountain makes clear, coal is systematically poising our nation and the planet.
There's a fight going on for America's mountains, the film says, to which lives, jobs and entire communities have already been lost and the future looks anything but certain.
"You turn on a light and the electricity is there," Kennedy tells the Irish Voice. "We take it for granted. But do you ever think how it gets there?
"At the end of the day, no one can argue that we don't need electricity. But The Last Mountain is a film that uncovers where it comes from and asks, at what cost?"
Mountaintop mining is cheaper than underground mining, says Kennedy. It's permitted when coal companies promise they can safely remove all the debris they create and then re-plant the forests after the mine is exhausted.
But what really happens is just a cover up that puts a band-aid on the real extent of the damage. After the mountaintop is blown up it's forgotten about and the companies simply move on to the next one, leaving the affected communities to fend for themselves.
The bottom line is that coal is both cheap and effective, a consideration that overrules all others, Kennedy says. Vested interests like America's energy companies and its railroads have too much time and money invested to worry about its impact on the public's health or the planet. If your paycheck depends upon you not understanding something, it's amazing how blind you can become.

Q Oh boy! I bet you are being inundated with comments about Steve Gospe, who left his beagle alone in a car for three hours while he went skiing at Bear Valley.
Deb Anderson
San Jose
A Indeed I am. When Steve returned to his car, the dog was barking loudly and bystanders had called police, who opened the door to come to the dog's aid. Those bystanders chastised Steve, who considered them busybodies since it was 46 degrees and he didn't feel his pet was in any danger. I wanted to know what others felt -- busybodies or not.
Q As a champion of animal rights and a hater of abusers, this is a tough one. Steve's problem is people don't know he's only skiing a half day and leaving a dog in a car all day is cruel. Was there a water dish and a doggy door for restroom breaks? And why not leave the dog at home? People were legitimately concerned and NOT busybodies. I am so pleased so many people chewed him out and called the cops.
Kathy Furtado
A But ...
Q My vote is busybodies. My dog has separation anxiety and travels in the car with me many days of the week. Locking him up in a kennel is far more torture for him than living in my car all afternoon. ... Although those people were nice to check on the dog, they didn't assess the situation, were woefully lacking in judgment, and were incredibly ignorant in thinking that the dog could get overheated in the car under the described circumstances. ... They are busybodies. A dog in a car cool enough to see the dog's breath is NOT in danger of baking to death. ... My brother, who is a sheriff's deputy, said you may not leave a dog in a car in a situation that places it in danger. He said under the circumstances I described, the dog wouldn't be in danger so it would be fine.
Linda Walton, Ann Mayers, Jerry Straks, Patti White and Susan Howard
A But ...
Q So the dog owner believes he is blameless for leaving his dog in his car in cold weather, with the windows sufficiently "cracked". ... Dogs and children do NOT belong unattended in vehicles under ANY circumstances. Make other arrangements for them. Don't do it. Ever. Please. ... I am so mad. Steve Gospe, why take a dog with you? ... He decides to bring his dog, who "goes nuts" when left alone in the car. Then he leaves the dog alone in the car for three hours. Please, next time you go skiing, leave the pooch safe and secure at home. Most responsible and considerate dog owners would have boarded the dog in a kennel ... At a minimum, the guy should have his dog in a crate while in the car. ... This wasn't a run into a shop or a bank, but leaving the dog in the car for three hours. Why bother bringing the dog at all? ... Book 'em, Dano! I can't sit in a car for three and a half hours without having to go pee. Why should the dog?
Linda Michener, Jim Peck, Wendy Harrison, Mary Tusa, John Luebben, Wayne Giroux, David Barton, Bill Anderson, Richard Gaskill, Patti White, Joe Seaton and Dennis Cole
A Let's call his a split decision, and I cast the final vote. Steve, three hours was far, far, far too long to leave your beagle. These folks were not busybodies.

USC Upstate softball team crashes NCAA top-25 poll
Published: Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 12:51 a.m.
USC Upstate has a top-25 team.
1. Oklahoma (34-2), 2. Arizona State (36-4), 3. Florida (38-4), 4. Alabama (38-4), 5. Tennessee (34-6), 6. Texas (35-4); 7. Oregon (33-6); 8. Missouri (23-4); 9. California (30-6), 10. Texas A7M (31-7); 11. Louisville (32-6), 12. Michigan (31-7), 13. LSU (33-8), 14. Washington (31-10), 15. Hawaii (31-7), 16. Stanford (27-12), 17. Arizona (26-13), 18. Kentucky (27-10), 19. UCLA (26-13), 20. Baylor (29-10), 21. Tulsa (31-9-1), 22. Nebraska (29-8), 23. South Alabama (34-7), 24. USC Upstate (32-3), 25. North Carolina (31-13)
For the first time in school history, USC Upstate cracked the national rankings in an NCAA Division I major poll as the softball squad on Tuesday was listed as No. 24 in the country. The Spartans (32-3) joined the list ahead of North Carolina as Oregon State and Wisconsin dropped out.
"We're USC Upstate," head coach Chris Hawkins said. "It's incredible to be recognized as one of the top 25 teams in the country. For us to be there with some of the biggest schools in the country is pretty amazing."
USC Upstate, in fact, is the only so-called mid-major team even receiving votes for the top 25 and suffered two of its three losses against No. 3 Florida and No. 18 Kentucky. The Spartans lead the country with a .358 batting average, are fourth in defense with a .980 fielding percentage and rank among the top 20 in pitching with a 1.84 ERA.
"I hope we can just maintain what we're doing, which is concentrating on each pitch and doing the little things that we have to do to win," Hawkins said. "We don't need to do anything differently."
With such a monumental goal realized, now comes another challenge: Trying to stay in the top 25. The Spartans, 13-1 in the Atlantic Sun (the only loss in the opener against North Florida) host a 4 p.m. league doubleheader today against East Tennessee State at Cyrill Stadium.
"Naturally, there is going to be more pressure," Hawkins said. "But I think we can handle it. I think we have a group of players with good heads on their shoulders and they understand what it takes to keep climbing. Our girls really react well to pressure."
For an example of that, look no further back than Sunday against Stetson.
With a top-25 spot on the line, the Spartans were down, 3-1, in the fifth inning when Cheyenne Griffin from Byrnes High School hit three-run home run for the lead. Tied in the final frame, Dana Landers from Mauldin High crushed a two-run, walk-off homer.
USC Upstate, picked by league coaches to finish third in the conference behind Florida Gulf Coast and Kennesaw State, has a two-game lead on Jacksonville. FGCU and North Florida are tied for third at 8-4, while KSU is seventh at 8-8.
The Spartans are being led at the plate by Maddison Keiffer with a .447 average with five homers and 33 RBIs, Ericka Harris at .411 and Meredith Barnes at .396 with six homers. Hayley Reinfeld is at .375, Kendall Settlemyer at .361, Shellie Robinson at .356 with a team-high eight homers and 36 RBIs.
On the mound, the Spartans have the combination of Jamie Ujvari (14-0, 1.45 ERA) and Hannah Alexander (14-2, 1.79).

City of Sarasota agrees to stop targeting homeless
Published: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 1:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 1:42 p.m.
SARASOTA - The City of Sarasota and the American Civil Liberties Union have signed a consent decree that stops police from "interfering with the exercise of First Amendment rights" when dealing with the homeless.
The decree, a 60-day injunction, prohibits police from interfering with panhandlers — someone standing on a sidewalk soliciting assistance — unless they impede traffic, pedestrians or create an unsafe situation.
The agreement also bars officers from ordering panhandlers to move along — a common complaint among the homeless.
The decree spells out the reporting requirements if police violate the agreement, which include the names of the officers involved.
"The Court's ruling vindicates the right of all citizens to enjoy the protections of the First Amendment, particularly those who are the least able to seek protection," Michael Barfield, chair of the ACLU's legal panel, said in a written statement.
The ACLU will monitor the city's response to the decree, he said.
The agreement ends in 60 days, unless there are violations, at which point the court can extend the order.
The consent decree follows the arrest of Jon Hill, a homeless man who was arrested of panhandling on U.S. 301.
Hill was injured during his arrest, which he and his attorneys claim was the result of officers slamming his face into a squad car.
The arresting officers say he intentionally threw himself forward during a struggle, striking his head on their squad car window.
Hill spent five days in jail, until the ACLU got him released by filing an emergency petition — a writ of habeas corpus.
Sarasota Police Chief Bernadette DiPino ordered an internal affairs investigation of Hill's arrest.
The ACLU has warned the city about a recent "spike" of arrests of homeless people.

Irving'e karşı Lipstadt
Defense Documents
David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|<< (x) Misrepresentation of...
|< (i) Double standards in ...
|(xii) Suppression of rel... >
|(xv) Additional evidence... >>
(xi) The suppression of relevant evidence: the memoirs of Franz von Sonnleithner
1. Franz von Sonnleithner was Ribbentrop's Foreign Office adjutant in the Führerhauptquartier. Irving appears not to have interviewed von Sonnleithner, whose memoirs appeared posthumously in 1989.217 At Nuremberg he told the defence 'that I did not believe that it was Hitler who gave this order for the extermination measures.'218 Elsewhere he wrote that 'Hitler never said anything to me about the treatment of the Jews.'219 This assertion is contradicted though by other passages in his memoirs, and by documentary evidence linking him to the deportation of the Jews of Rome and Denmark to Auschwitz.
2. Sonnleithner related a famous episode in the Führerhauptquartierin 1944:It would seem that this episode in the Führerhauptquartier had a wide resonance. Hitler's press secretary Heinz Lorenz also related the story to Irving.221
During a military conference some time in Autumn 1944 the Reich press spokesman [Otto] Dietrich came [...] with an English report, a newspaper article which had reached us, I believe, from the last gateway to the world, namely Lisbon. In the newspaper piece it was claimed that the Russians had taken a German concentration camp called Majdanek. People had been in there that had, without doubt, been exterminated. Pictures showed large racks upon which a very large number of well ordered chambers were to be seen, just as a foreigner would expect from a German institution. I believe that other fittings could also be seen, cells or even incineration chambers, although I'm not sure now. The text said that people had been exterminated there. Dietrich presented the press article to Hitler and we waited expectantly for what he would say about it. The answer came quickly: "That is the same as the hacked-off hands of Belgian children during the First World War, nothing but enemy propaganda." I believe that I have quoted Hitler's statement word for word. Anyway a weight fell from all of our shoulders, one could positively hear the sighs of relief. I myself telephoned the head of the security police [Sicherheitspolizei] Dr. [Ernst] Kaltenbrunner that same day to ask for the papers for a corresponding denial, which he agreed to. [...] as I had heard nothing from the Staatspolizei for a number of weeks I rang Kaltenbrunner and reminded him of his support for a denial. He answered word-for-word: "A public contradiction of the matter means lending the matter too much importance." After the discussion of the situation to which I had referred was over, and I have also delivered my report, Hitler said to me that the Allies had already claimed in the First World War that the German troops who marched into Belgium in 1914 had chopped off the hands of Belgian children or hung them upside down in bell-towers so that children's heads had served the function of clappers. All that was new to me, so I have a volume brought up from the archive with retractions by the "Times" a few years after the war...We therefore believed that every new English press report was as untrue as the reports from the First World War.220
3. Irving also cited a post-war interrogation of Ribbentrop on 11 August 1945 to the same effect, in his book Nuremberg. The Last Battle. Ribbentrop's answer to the question if Hitler knew of the fate of the Jews in the concentration camps ran thus:
I know one thing, that after the Russians had taken over the concentration camp in Poland, Majdanek I think it was called, that was the first time I heard of these persecutions in concentration camps, misdeeds, atrocities. This was the first thing I heard when our representatives from abroad sent telegrams that Russian propaganda was making a tremendous row in neutral countries. I got these telegrams and placed them before the Führer. I said that if this were true in any respect it would be quite impossible to make foreign policy. So he took the matter in hand and said it was not my business to discuss this. That's the only thing I heard.222
4. To the Nuremberg psychologist Gilbert, Ribbentrop is likewise quoted as having said: 'You know, I didn't know anything about the exterminations - until the Majdanek affair came out in '44 [...].'223
5. In this case Hitler deliberately played on a psychological obstacle current not only in Germany, but amongst the Allies and even the Jews themselves, namely the historical impact of British propaganda during the First World War. This was expressed in a deep reluctance to give credence to the news that slowly filtered out about the mass murder of the Jews.
6. World War One was of course not the first war in which allegations had been made of cruelty and savagery, but such campaigns had never been conducted so systematically, on such a large scale, and with such success as by the British (and French). British propaganda attributed all sorts of horrors to their enemies, such as that the Germans had hacked of the hands of children in Belgium, that the bodies of fallen soldiers were being used to make soap, and even that the Austrians and Bulgarians had killed 700,000 Serbs using an asphyxiating gas.224
7. Unlike the hacking-off of the hands of Belgian children, the reports filtering out into the world about Majdanek were not Allied propaganda. Majdanek was built near Lublin in the General Government in Poland at the orders of Himmler during a visit he made to Lublin in July 1941. At first it was run as a prisoner-of-war camp under the aegis of the SS, but on 16 February 1943 it was re-named a concentration camp.
8. There are only rough estimates of how many died in Majdanek. Some 500,000 people passed through the camp and at least 250,000 met their deaths there, perhaps as many as 360,000.225 60% died from hunger, filth, disease, torture and sheer exhaustion. 40% were executed by shooting or murdered in gas chambers making Majdanek a death camp. The zenith of the executions came on 3 November 1943, when 18,000 Jews were shot in the camps of the Lublin district in an action code-named Harvest Festival.226
9. Whilst a Polish source dates the first gassings in Majdanek to September 1942, the Düsseldorf court which tried members of the camp personnel between 1975 and 1981 said that the gassing facilities were operational in October 1943 at the latest.227 The method of gassing in chambers, the immediate selection process of those too old, young or infirm to work, and the camouflage were all similar to those tried and tested in Auschwitz.228 The majority of those killed with gas were Jews, many deported from all over Europe. This combination of work, depravation, and murder made Majdanek 'the model of a future camp of gradual annihilation combined with a camp of immediate extermination.'229
10. The camp was liberated in the night of 22-23 July 1944 by the Soviet army. 480 prisoners regained their freedom, mainly crippled Soviet PoWs and Polish peasants from 'pacified' villages. In their haste to evacuate the camp the Germans had failed to destroy all the evidence of Majdanek's murderous purpose. With the forced evacuation of the prisoners the camp authorities had burned most documentation and the main crematorium. But most of the prisoner's barracks, the gas chambers, smaller crematoria and ditches for mass executions with the corpses of shot prisoners gave witness to the camp's nature.230 A joint Polish-Soviet investigation committee began its work the same month.
11. At the very least, the episode gives yet again the lie to the Irving's claim that none of Hitler's adjutants (in this case had heard anything of the mass exterminations in the East). As Schroeder told Zoller of Hitler's abhorrence of any discussion on the 'Final Solution':
If in the conferences the talk came to the rumours of the mass murders and torturing in the concentration camps then Hitler would not answer, or brusquely broke off the conversation. Only very rarely did Hitler deign to answer, and then only too deviously. He would have never have admitted in front of witnesses the inhuman severity of laws issued by him.231
12. It was Irving himself who offered another piece of proof that staff at the Führerhauptquartier had heard Hitler talk of the concentration camps. Irving related the following to an audience in New Zealand in 1986:
I remember right at the end of the war [sic] 232 I asked one of Himmler's staff, 'Did you know nothing about the concentration camps, the extermination of people in concentration camps?' And he said, 'Nothing was told.' He said, 'I was with Hitler right through [Unintelligible - 'when was it now?'?], from August 1944 right through until the last days in the bunker.' This man's name was SS Colonel Johannes Göhler. He was the adjutant to Himmler's liaison officer to Hitler [Fegelein], and as such attended all the main conferences with Hitler. And he says, 'In any of the conferences no where was there any discussion of the extermination of the Jews or anything.' And I say, 'Well yes, you've got to say that haven't you.' He says, 'Wait a minute. I remember one conference where something similar came up, but not quite the same.' He says, 'I remember Himmler saying to Hitler, two weeks before the end of the war, three weeks perhaps before the end of the war,' Himmler being the chief of the SS, "Mein Führer we've got this terrible problem. The Americans are approaching Weimar. They're on the point of over-running the concentration camp at Buchenwald." The famous concentration camp at Buchenwald. "What do we do with the inmates?" And Hitler says, "Herr Reichsführer, wait and see me after the conference is over." Göhler says, 'I remember after the conference was over Hitler sat on the edge of the conference table, swinging his legs. He says, "Herr Himmler, this concentration camp [Unintelligible - "that is next to?"] Buchenwald, I want all the inmates liquidated before the Americans get them."233
217. Franz von Sonnleithner, Als Diplomat im "Führerhauptquartier" forward by Reinhard Spitzy (Munich/Vienna, 1989).
218. 'Im übrigen habe ich diesem Verteidiger gegenüber behauptet, daß ich nicht glaubte, daß Hitler diesen Befehl zur Vernichtungsmaßnahmen gewesen sei.' (von Sonnleithner, p. 108).
219. 'Hitler hat mir gegenüber nie etwas über die Behandlung der Juden gesagt'. (von Sonnleithner, p. 109).
220. 'Während einer militärischen Lagebesprechungen etwa im Herbst 1944 kam der Reichsspressechef Dietrich [...] mit einer englischen Meldung, einem Zeitungsbericht, der uns über das, ich glaube, letzte Tor zur Welt, nämlich Lissabon, erreicht hätten. In dieser Zeitungsnotiz wurde behauptet, daß die Russen ein deutsches Konzentrationslager mit namen Majdanek erobert hätten. In deisem seien zweifellos Menschen gewesen, die man vernicht hätten. Bilder zeigten große Gestelle, auf denen eine sehr große Zahl von Kämmern zu sehen war, wohlgeordnet, wie sich es der Ausländer von einer deutschen Institution erwartet. Ich glaube, es waren auch andere Einrichtungen zu sehen, Zellen oder sogar Verbrennungsanlagen, das weiß ich heute nicht mehr. Der Text besagte, daß hier Menschen vernichtet worden seien. Dietrich legte die Pressemeldung Hitler vor, und wir hingen an seinem Mund, was er wohl dazu sagen würde. Die Antwort kam rasch: "Das sind die abgehackten Hände der belgischen Kinder während des Ersten Weltkrieges, nichts als feindliche Propaganda!" Ich glaube, daß ich die Aussage Hitlers wörtlich richtig zitiert habe; jedenfalls fiel uns allen ein Stein von Herzen, man konnte förmlich das Aufatmen hören. Ich selbst habe noch am gleichen Tag mit dem Chef der Sicherheitspolizei Dr. Kaltenbrunner telephoniert und von ihm Unterlagen für ein entsprechendes Dementi verlangt, die er mir auch zusagte [...] als ich von der Staatspolizei nach einigen Wochen nichts hörte, rief ich Kaltenbrunner an und errinerte ihn an seine Unterstützung bei einem Dementi. Er ewiderte wörtlich: "Ein Wiederaufrühren der Sache in der öffentlichkeit hieße, des Angelegenheit eine zu große Bedeutung beimessen!" So ließ man also die Pressemeldung unwidersprochen. / Nachdem die erwähnte Lagebesprechung beendet war und ich auch meinen Vortrag hinter mich gebracht hatte, sagte Hitler zu mir, daß die Alliierten schon im Ersten Weltkrieg behauptet hätten, die 1914 in Belgien einmarschierenden deutschen Truppen hätten den belgischen Kindern die Hände abgehackt oder sie verkehrt in Glocken aufgehängt; so daß Kinderköpfe die Funktion von Klöppeln erfüllt hätten. Mir war das alles neu, und so ließ ich mir aus dem Archiv einen Band mit einige Jahre nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg erschienenen Widerrufen der "Times" bringen. [...] Wir hielten daher die neue englische Pressemeldung ebenso für eine Unwahrheit wie die Nachrichten im Ersten Weltkrieg.' (von Sonnleithner, pp. 107-8).

Even as I write the headline it doesn't ring? true, we are just not a romantic lot in the 'hallmarked' sense of the word in Ireland, unless it stamped on inside of a nice sparkly piece, that's laden down with the right type of carats (not carrots?) believe me there's are lads here still wouldn't know the difference.
And that's despite us having the actual certified remains of St Valentine himself in Whitefriar St Church in Dublin? Great, how romantic is that? we can claim some bonafide bones, no wonder if never took off as a tourism idea? All mocking aside, there is a special blessing of the rings ceremony on the day, and all are welcome to go along and renew their wedding vows, ahh..…
The most romantic Irish fellas usually get is a pathetic bunch of flowers from the petrol station on the way home from work and one of those afore mentioned cheesey cards, please? Listen up guys if you really want to impress the love of your life, be it the Mammy, wife, girlfriend or both? Order (in advance) a one of a kind, piece of floral perfection from the guys at Yes Flowers, in Galway. Having given up hinting years ago, I now book my own 'surprise' from them, with his credit card of course, et voila romance!
But if you are single and its passion you are after? A bit of 'touch, pause and engage' you need to head to that tried and trusted testosterone stomping ground Landsdowne Rd, or Aviva as it now, or the pub next Sunday as Ireland take on France in the RBS 6 nations. Even if you don't know the first thing about rugby, manys a girl I know bagged a husband, by investing in a sheepskin coat and hanging out at the Pyramid in Jurys after the match. So get yourselves a green shirt and get down there, you won't get a look in during the match, and you better learn the words to Irelands call, but you wont get a better concentration of fit fellas to throw your eye at this side of the Shannon.

I have a dilemma. I need to see The Rolling Stones again.
They're coming May 5 to Oracle Arena in Oakland and May 8 to HP Pavilion in San Jose. They haven't said so, but their 50 and Counting tour is likely the last big one from the longest-tenured, big-name, overwhelmingly influential, incredible rock band in history.
Right -- I'm trying to get a publicist's job with them before it's too late.
Like so many fans, I really want to see the band one more time. The Stones haven't made a great record in 30 years, but even though these musicians are in their late 60s and early 70s, they're still one of the best live bands on the planet. They can all still play, they still seem to enjoy playing and, after decades of playing together, are a tightly woven bunch. And they represent a song catalog that is nothing short of a living, breathing documentary on 50 years of rock history (maybe more when they get into the old R&B covers).
With tickets going for $142.75 to $597.50 (yes, that's 600 whole dollars), and as a man with children to feed, I'm priced out. I couldn't spend that much if they offered to come play in my living room (but that shouldn't stop anyone out there from asking them).
I saw the Stones a number of times while I was a music writer. I saw them in the '80s, in the days before I had a family and when I had nothing to do with my disposable income but buy concert tickets. I saw them on solo tours. I went backstage in Los Angeles on a Keith Richards tour (and, literally, bumped into Gene Simmons -- I apologized before he could breathe fire at me). I briefly met Richards and interviewed Bill Wyman. I celebrated moving to L.A. to be a musician in 1990 by getting a Stones tattoo. They helped change the way I saw rock music when I discovered them in high school.
So I kind of need to see them again.
After I saw them in Oakland in 1994 on the Voodoo Lounge tour, I schemed that I could go a second night by showing up in the parking lot after the show started, when desperate scalpers still holding tickets would be willing to sell me a stub for $20. Didn't happen. Even after the fifth or sixth song, nobody's prices were budging. I tried sweet-talking a woman at the ticket booth into giving me a discount, since the show already started and everything. Like so many women in my life, she laughed in my face.
I was desperate. My faithful companion Derek was ready to go home. But then I spotted a couple of young guys wheeling one of those big garbage wagons out of the stadium. I sauntered over, waved my $20 and said it was theirs if they would sneak us in the venue in a wagon. The did a quick huddle and told us to get in. Bingo! Victory was mine!
So I thought.
Just as I was swinging a leg over the wagon's edge, I heard one of the guys tell the other, "I don't know dude -- it's only 20 bucks each, and we could get totally fired." They both looked at me, and I swung my leg back out.
Victory was not mine.
But it can be again.
Maybe my 4-year-old's preschool will decide not to charge us this month because they like her so much. Maybe someone won't notice me missing a car payment. There's always the lottery.
Then again, does anyone out there know who's in charge of the garbage wagons at Oracle Arena?
Just checking.

SAN JOSE -- Malware warnings halted Internet users from visiting popular sites across the Internet on Monday morning, including the Mercury News, after Silicon Valley advertising company Netseer's website was hacked. The company said its ads were not infected with any virus, and Google (GOOG) cleared the company and halted the malware warnings.
According to Twitter users, sites such as The New York Times, The Huffington Post, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post and many others were being blocked by Google's Chrome browser with warnings about possible malware -- malicious software that could infect a user's computer -- emanating from Netseer.
"Content from cm.netseer.com, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page. Visiting this page now is very likely to infect your computer with malware," a Chrome message said Monday morning when a user attempted to visit www.mercurynews.com.
Netseer, a Santa Clara-based startup founded in 2006 that helps target ads based on content offered by the website, suffered a hacking attack on its website, but said Monday that it was not actively issuing malware-infected ads.
"This morning at approximately 5:30 a.m. Pacific time, our third-party hosted corporate website (netseer.com) was hacked and infected with malware. Consequently, Google added our domain to the list of malware-affected websites. Our operations team went into all-hands-on-deck mode and we have successfully cleaned the site of the malware issue," spokeswoman Kathleen Formidoni said.
Because the company's corporate site and ad-serving infrastructure share the same domain, the block Google put up to keep malware placed on Netseer's website from spreading also affected ads Netseer placed on other sites. However, "the malware was never served into the ad serving stream," Formidoni wrote in an email.
Formidoni reported just after 10:30 a.m. Pacific time that Google had removed Netseer from its list of malware-affected websites, clearing up the problems.
Netseer was unsure Monday of the scope of the malware issues "since the overall problem does vary based on browser," Formidoni said, but "NetSeer serves millions of ads a month and has a big global footprint." She added that "many major publishers were impacted."
In an email response to request for comment, a Google spokeswoman said the company did not comment on individual malware cases.
Bob Mason, chief technology officer for Digital First Media, said www.mercurynews.com and the company's other websites are not infected with malware, but the company is taking steps to make sure any virus is blocked from its websites.
Other news sites took to Twitter to assure readers that their content does not include any malicious code.
"Hello, Chrome users. We're aware some of you are seeing malware warnings about Guardian articles. Please ignore; no risk," @GuardianTech, the Twitter account for The Guardian's technology news, wrote Monday morning.

Aiken County could be a world leader in nuclear energy. State leaders were busy trying to make that happen Tuesday. News 12 is on your side to explain the chances of landing a nuclear reactor and what it will bring to all of us.
The Savannah River Site is on the short list for locations to build the nation's first nuclear reactor in more than 30 years. Tuesday the company that will build it, Nustart, toured the Savannah River Site as state leaders, both republicans and democrats, tried to sell them on our assets.
It's a day to wine and dine Nustart. Local and state leaders try to sell them on why the Savannah River is the best of six places to build the country's first nuclear reactor since 1973.
"This is a site and this is a community that understands what the big picture is about, what the mission is about, what they have been doing since pre-WWII," said Rep. Gresham Barrett.
The reactor will open in 2010. It will cost more than a billion dollars and bring up to 400 highly skilled, high-paying jobs. An energy plant will most likely follow the reactor, which would double the number of jobs.
"The nuclear history of this area is obviously very, very positive," said Gary Miller, Nustart.
That community acceptance and our workforce, security, waste disposal services and state tax incentives are all reasons it looks good that SRS may get the reactor.
One strike against SRS, it does not have lines to carry power to businesses. This could be a costly addition. But if we do land the reactor, it will make Aiken County a national model for nuclear energy.
"It will be a place that others will come to because the whole goal here is to standardize the designs and then deploy these standard designs across the US," Miller said.
Nustart says they will pick a location by the end of September. SRS is the third of their six finalist sites they've toured. The other five sites are all commercial sites and Nustart will pick two places to build a reactor.
Nuclear experts in our area believe we'll get a reactor since we're the only federal site.
The reactor would supply power to Georgia, South Carolina and parts of Florida. This is the nation's fastest growing energy area and by the time this reactor is built, we will need it.

Tips and tricks for natural body care
by Kim Wallace
natural sunscreen, natural sunscreens, beauty, sunscreen, zinc oxide, ayurveda, ayurvedic beauty, pratima, pratima neem rose face sunscreen, neem oil, rose oil
Lately, I've been loving Pratima Neem Rose Face Sunscreen. Its active ingredient is zinc oxide and the formula features organic rose, neem and licorice. The SPF 30 is ideal for everyday exposure and its light consistency works well over my regular daily moisturizer and under my mineral makeup.
Pratima Neem Rose Face Sunscreen costs $16 for a 2-ounce bottle. Photo Courtesy Pratima Skincare.
I've been using Pratima natural sunscreen for two weeks now and have become completely intrigued with the entire brand. Its creator, Dr. Pratima Raichur, founded her products (and New York City spa and clinic) on Ayuverdic principles. Ayurveda (ayur is Sansrkit for "life" while veda is Sanskrit for "science" or "knowledge") originated in India and is one of the world's oldest medicine systems. Ayurvedic medicine stresses the balance of body, mind and spirit and integrates plants, herbs and nature into healthy, holistic treatments.
With neem and rose essential oils, Pratima Neem Rose Face Sunscreen is loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits in addition to natural protection from UVA, UVB and UVC rays. Pratima Neem Rose Face Sunscreen has a smooth, silky texture that slides on evenly and easily. I like that even though it's zinc-based, Pratima Neem Rose Face Sunscreen doesn't take lots of rubbing in to get it to cover without casting a white glow on my face. I love that Pratima Neem Rose Face Sunscreen is packaged in a convenient, metal pump bottle; it takes about three pumps to get a healthy amount of natural sunscreen to moisturize and protect my face from the sun's harsh rays.
On those days when I'm rushing out the door (the majority of my days!), it's comforting to know that I have a luxurious, all-in-one, natural sunscreen and moisturizer to keep my skin protected.
Do you use a daily moisturizer with SPF? What are your favorite natural sunscreen brands? Come back soon to find out about the next natural sunscreen I'm testing!

Enough is enough
2012 was to be my 50th anniversary of the day when I was 7yrs old and I first saw the Toon in the pouring rain from the front of the Gallowgate End, with the other bairns having been passed down over everyone's heads so we could see properly.
I have been sceptical of the Piemans plans but gave him the benefit of any doubt and waited to see where he was really leading the club, instead of the knee-jerk reactions that seem to get the most publicity.
Even when he sacked Chris and put Pardwho in charge I thought I'd wait and see, Carroll #$%$ on the Geordies became a scouser and the money went in the Pieman's pocket but it was promised to come out again during the summer.
Well the summer transfer is over the big names never arrived and Pardwho proved by bullshitting to the fans what a yes man he really is, just telling the fans what the Pieman told him to.
So 49 years is enough, I'm hanging up my shirt scarf etc and calling it a day. I will not be switching allegience to another team apart from Whitley Bay that is. Rugby here I come.
The start has been good with 3 games gone and 7 points but the cover we have is pathetic, once the injuries and suspensions start to kick in the slide to the championship will start to kick in with them and there is not the quality cover needed to even keep us up never mind win anything.
Thanks alot guys for all the ups and downs that made supporting you so much hard work and thanks to my GP for all his efforts in trying to keep my blood-pressure as low as he could.
Lastly thanks to the Pieman and Parwho for showing me the future and bringing me to my senses.

Police leading the enquiry into the suspected murder of a resident at a nursing home in Randalstown have insisted that they have not been dragging their feet. Last week, officers confirmed that they were treating the death of 56-year-old Seamus McCollum as murder - almost six months after the Belfast man died at Maine Nursing Home. Since then an investigation into the former Muckamore Abbey resident's sudden death has gathered pace, and detectives have questioned many of the staff and visitors to the privately owned home for people with learning disabilities. The PSNI has stressed, however, that they are not following a specific line of enquiry 'at this stage.'

A young mother living alone with her four- year-old son was left shocked and traumatized recently after an audacious thief sauntered into her Newry home in the early hours of the morning. The Chequer Court resident told The Examiner how she had emerged from an upstairs room after speaking with her mother on the phone, only to find the intruder at the top of the stairs, adjacent to her sleeping child's bedroom.
Terrified but protective of her young son, the woman demanded to know what he was doing in her home. When the intruder claimed that he had mistakenly entered the property believing it to be the home of a couple he knew, the frightened mother frantically rang police, who arrived as the man was still trying to make his getaway.

The compact tobacco burners have been described as a cleaner way to smoke and are proving a hit stateside. The burners are set to appear in an upcoming comedy show and have already been featured on the HBO series, Bored to Death.

While Cavan has often recorded the largest jump in Traveler numbers for any county in the country, the latest census figures don't reveal any changing attitudes towards Travelers in the community itself. "What is significant is that Travelers are now more willing to self-identify," says Bernard Joyce, the county's regional community development officer for the Irish Traveler Movement. Nevertheless, despite the Travelers' enthusiasm for self-identification, the greater Cavan community seems reluctant to reevaluate its opinions of the minority.

Kilkee Chamber of Commerce secretary Paul Williams has expressed shock at Clare County Council's instructions that the chamber not collect rubbish strewn around the resort last Easter weekend. The directive, based on health and safety concerns, was issued despite the fact the chamber claims that the council provided no cleaning service in the resort town for the duration of the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.

Though it might seem like a late April's Fool joke, studies by Cork scientists show that protein for the brain can be found in a baby's nappy. Dr Catherine Stanton and Dr Rebecca Wall, of the Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre in Teagasc Moorepark Food Research center in Fermoy, have discovered after several years of research that there is protein in the contents of a baby's nappy that improves the function of the brain. This new research has just been published in the prestigious American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The designer probiotic bacteria have had significant effect on the brain fatty acids of mice, while also providing the potential to improve brain function when mixed up in yoghurt or in a drink.(Source: Cork Independent)
Police in Derry are launching an operation aimed at cracking down on the sale of alcohol to children. A number of planned test purchases at alcohol vendors will be conducted in the city over the coming months.

Scores of Donegal's undocumented in the United States have expressed "disappointment and anger" at the failure of Donegal County Council to send representatives to the recent St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Highlighting the reactions of both the undocumented and the Donegal Associations in New York and Philadelphia, Letterkenny Town councilor Jimmy Kavanagh, who represented the local authority at the events, said he has been told "loud and clear" that the County Council should have been present.
"The view on this is very different in America than it is here. We might talk about not being able to afford to send delegations in the current economic climate but that is dismissed out of hand by the organizers who argue that the time is now to be sending people, and it is now that we should be out trying to galvanize the support of the Irish-American community," said Kavanagh at last week's meeting of the Town Council.

This is my Jabber/IRC/Twitter client now. One thing is lacking for perfection: Sometimes when I go offline, it doesn't reconnect to various accounts (Twitter especially). But even the nightlies are rock-solid.
Adium is my fave chat client. iChat doesn't have built-in support for everything, and I can't 'get' any other clients. One complaint: no Skype support.
I was using iChat before Adium (finally DL'ed it when I came across a problem with iChat). I actually really like Adium. I use it for AIM, Facebook chat, and Google Talk. It neatly adds all of my buddy list all into one with the option of setting all the same status or different ones. It also can show what song you are playing on iTunes. I'd recommend it.
Facebook now supports the xmpp/jabber protocol:
Using Adium until Digsby gets their port going.
I love having one app to connect to all my chats! Being able to customize the appearance is nice, too. Great program!
Still no video chat. And the IRC and Twitter implementations are very poorly done and suck overall. Good app, but not great.
its good, but not great
So amazing. I've been using it for years, periodically switching to something with video chat (iChat or a Fluid.app GMail window), but whenever I come back to Adium, I am blown away by how beautiful it can be. It is 100% customizable with a ginormous array of interface extras available.
I do wish it had video, but as rarely as I use that function, I can easily switch to one of the uglier, less cool programs.
Its Twitter implementation is great, especially with the "Blackened" theme; it's at least 85% as functional as most real Twitter clients.
Download Adium 1.4 beta 9, it has IRC support and Twitter too. It's amazing, I'm using Adium as my IM, IRC, and Tweeting app all in one. Plus customization is impressive. 10/10.

'Timing is Crucial' When Reining In a Credit Boom
When is the best time for a central bank to step in to rein in a burgeoning credit boom? Sooner rather than later, suggests a Bank of England analysis.
The U.K. central bank on Monday published an updated version of a policy paper it first issued a year ago about its new powers to vary bank capital requirements to safeguard financial stability. The BOE's Financial Policy Committee gained these powers in a shake-up of U.K. finance-sector regulation in April, but has yet to use them.
The power to vary bank capital requirements is an important part of many central banks' arsenals. If banks are making too many risky loans, usually to somebody wanting to purchase real estate, then demanding banks finance those loans with more equity should discourage the greatest excesses and ensure lenders are better-equipped to absorb any losses. Regulators can apply stricter capital rules across the board or target them at a particular sector, such as mortgage lending, in pursuit of these objectives.
A new section in the BOE paper examines a range of such sectoral capital interventions in India, Brazil, Switzerland, Australia and Ireland. The conclusion is that they can be pretty effective in curbing excesses but have to carefully timed.
The paper contrasts Ireland's failure to rein in a boom in mortgage lending to riskier borrowers in 2006 with Australia's success in 2004. Ireland's move to raise capital requirements was "too little, too late," according to an analysis by Ireland's central bank cited by the BOE, whereas Australia was more successful in discouraging risky lending by raising capital requirements as soon as concerns started to emerge, the paper says.
"Timing is critical, with the contrast between Ireland and Australia highlighting the importance of early intervention," the paper says.
The paper comes against a backdrop of mounting concern over whether the U.K. is at risk of experiencing another destabilizing bubble in house prices. Prices rose to their highest level in more than five years in December, and some economists have urged the BOE to step in and limit the flow of credit to homebuyers.
BOE officials stress there's no evidence of any immediate threat to financial stability from the housing market, although they did cut back the central bank's support for mortgage lending in November.
The paper's findings suggest officials are mindful of the risks of leaving it too late if further action becomes warranted.

This elegant pair of English candlesticks features a turned baluster form and a white ground, the nozzles and stems with a lobed rim and decorated with detailed floral accents. The spreading shaped bases are stylized with fine clustered foliage. The form of these rare candlesticks is based on earlier models in silver, brass and pewter.

About the Book
StarHearts, as fans of Josephine Angelini call themselves, will stay up all night reading Dreamless, the second book in the bestselling Starcrossed series. The saga mixes mythology, romance, action, and intrigue in a completely original way.
Dreamless continues the story of Helen Hamilton, a shy girl living on Nantucket Island whose desire for an ordinary life was thwarted when she discovered she is a Scion, a descendant of a Greek god and a mortal. Each Scion has a power, and Helen's is the ability to travel to Hades.
Helen is determined to use her talent to stop a war amongst the gods and change her destiny, which is to live a life patterned after that of the tragic Helen of Troy. But her quest may cost her Lucas Delios, the boy she loves.
Can true love be forgotten?
As the only scion who can descend into the Underworld, Helen Hamilton has been given a nearly impossible task. By night she wanders through Hades, trying to stop the endless cycle of revenge that has cursed her family. By day she struggles to overcome the fatigue that is rapidly eroding her sanity. Without Lucas by her side, Helen is not sure she has the strength to go on.
Just as Helen is pushed to her breaking point, a mysterious new Scion comes to her rescue. Funny and brave, Orion shields her from the dangers of the Underworld. But time is running out—a ruthless foe plots against them, and the Furies' cry for blood is growing louder.
As the ancient Greek world collides with the mortal one, Helen's sheltered life on Nantucket descends into chaos. But the hardest task of all will be forgetting Lucas Delos.
Josephine Angelini's compelling saga becomes ever more intricate and spellbinding as an unforgettable love triangle emerges and the eternal cycle of revenge intensifies. Eagerly awaited, this sequel to the internationally bestselling Starcrossed delivers a gritty, action-packed love story that exceeds all expectations.

"A supreme mix of mythology, brutal action and heart rending romance. The perfect summer read." — Chicklish (blog)

Romance alternates with fast-paced action from above and below. There is a healthy dose of classical deus ex machine and tantalizing hints of a third book in which all-out war erupts.

This fantastical dual-world page-turner introduces more abhorrent mythological creatures while reuniting readers with Helen's supportive high-school friends, as well as the crazy Delos family, who anchor her between the real and mythological worlds. — Booklist

IRS Releases Guidance on Energy Efficiency Tax Credits
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued guidance on February 21st on the tax credits for new energy efficient homes and for energy efficiency improvements to existing homes, as established by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. A credit of up to $2,000 is available for eligible contractors who build a qualified new energy efficient home and sell it either this year or next. The credit is available for all new homes, including manufactured homes constructed in accordance with the Federal Manufactured Homes Construction and Safety Standards. See the IRS press release and the guidance for traditional homes (PDF 25 KB) and manufactured homes (PDF 36 KB). Download Adobe Reader.
For existing homes, the law provides a 10 percent credit for buying qualified energy efficiency improvements, including insulation, reflective metal roofs, insulated exterior doors, and energy efficient exterior windows and skylights. The law also provides residential tax credits of $50 for each advanced main air circulation fan and $150 for qualified furnaces or hot water heaters fueled with natural gas, propane, or oil. That credit increases to $300 for qualified heat pump water heaters; high-efficiency water heaters, boilers, furnaces, and central air conditioners; and geothermal heat pumps. To earn the credit, the improvements must be made this year or next year. The maximum credit for both years is $500, of which expenses for windows can provide no more than $200. Manufacturers of these products may certify them as eligible for the tax credits, in which case the homeowner can rely on the certification to claim the credit. See the IRS press release and the full IRS guidance (PDF 37 KB). Download Adobe Reader.
To help homeowners take advantage of the energy efficiency tax credits, the Alliance to Save Energy (ASE) has created a special tax credits Web site. ASE has also issued state-by-state energy saving tips for 37 states and the District of Columbia, and has published a free consumer booklet of energy saving tips called "Power$mart: The Power Is In Your Hands." See the ASE Energy Efficiency Tax Credits Web site, the ASE press release and Web site for the state-by-state energy tips, and the ASE press release and Web site for the Power$mart booklet.

Decorating Tip
To get a fall feeling in your home, you don't have to rely on just reds and oranges. Add in a pop of yellow to a room with a cool color scheme. Adding new throw pillows, a cozy blanket on the couch or a new lamp can make a dramatic difference, and can easily be changed with every season.

Director: Jonathan Levine
Running time: 97 mins Released: 8th February 2013
About Warm Bodies
R (Nicolas Hoult) is everything a girl would want; cute, introspective and agreeably placid. He's also a slowly-decaying zombie with very basic motor functions and little to no linguistic ability. The world has been ravaged by the apocalypse and now zombies of varying degrees of decomposition and aggression roam around hunting for braaaaiiiins. Via R's voiceover we learn that he is sad about the state of the world: he lives in an abandoned airplane surrounded by relics from a past that he can't quite remember and wanders the airport participating in a shuffling parody of ordinary life with his best friend M (Rob Corddry). But when he meets Julie (Teresa Palmer), the human girlfriend of one of his victims, R starts to feel something happening to him.

Talking with Bestselling Author Jodi Picoult About "House Rules"
This guest post is by Jodi Picoult, author of "House Rules," which is currently the top bestseller on The New York Times hardcover fiction list. "House Rules," her 17th novel, is about a teenage boy with Asperger's Syndrome. Picoult has a cousin who has Asperger's Syndrome. Read more about her and "House Rules" at www.jodipicoult.com.
One of the great pleasures I've had on tour is meeting kids with Asperger's Syndrome who are coming to my readings; or getting letters from people with Asperger's who've already finished the book. It's great to hear them say that they can identify with Jacob; that his voice sounds exactly like their own. One young boy stood up at an event to say that Jacob thought and spoke like he did and that he too has a special passion – not for forensics, like Jacob, but for vacuums! He got a standing ovation from the crowd, which was great for him. Last night I had an impassioned boy on the spectrum ask me how it felt when the ending of "My Sister's Keeper" was changed in the movies – and believe me, he had the whole crowd behind him when he talked about how upset he got at the change. Then there are the letters I've received from parents of kids with Asperger's who have wound up walking in Emma's shoes, when their children are misinterpreted by the legal system. One dad wrote to share with me the story of his son's two year trial – and how the comments made by the DA in "House Rules" were almost verbatim what were said in the courtroom to his son. Another parent wrote to tell me about his son with Asperger's Syndrome, who – after being bullied at school – brought one of his antique swords (his passion – collecting them) to show the school resource officer how he felt he had to protect himself. The officer, though, only saw a boy with a weapon – and shot and killed him. He said, "Our son was sweet and gentle, respectful of others. He had no history of violence. He was never even in detention. He was thrilled to be admired by younger Aspies for learning social skills to make friends with some kids at school. He delighted the entire family when he danced like Michael Jackson at his sister's wedding, moves that he had practiced in his room. …I hope a book like yours might help other kids like Trevor and prevent a tragedy such as we've had to go through."
It's a funny thing when you write fiction – you don't expect to change people's lives, or to touch them so deeply. But every now and then you strike a nerve and get a letter like the one from Trevor's dad. With 1 out of 110 kids being diagnosed on the spectrum, I expected parents who have children with Asperger's to read "House Rules" and be able to relate to it; to see their experiences validated. But if I had one hope for "House Rules," it was that people who do not live with autism in their daily lives might take away the thought that "different from" doesn't mean "lesser than". I know that Autism Speaks is doing a lot of work to help raise awareness around the globe, and maybe reading about Jacob – and why he does what he does – will mean that the next time a reader runs across a kid who might not look her in the eye, or speaks differently than she does, or who makes a stimming motion with his hand – well, maybe that reader will think twice before dismissing the kid, or pretending not to see him at all.

An anticipation of increased general expenses as well as continuing of the Ancestrylibrary.com subscription for the Quitman Public Library were reasons offered leading to the adoption of a bylaws change of membership dues to $25 starting in September of the 2012-13 society year. Also, an additional charge for multiple family members was dropped from the dues structure. A single or multiple family members in the same home will be at the single rate of $25.
This took place at the March semi-annual business meeting, March 19. A report of a balance of $1,960.10 was made by Treasurer Wayne McCluney, and the minutes from the September business meeting were presented by Secretary Shirley Patrick and accepted. Both these reports are on the members' only page which can be accessed from the link at the top right of this page.
In addition to the May trip to the Alba Public Library and Museum and to Parrott's park in Lindale and the June trip to the Genealogy research room at the Dallas Public library (both of which are listed in more detail on previous posts to this page), the date of June 15 was named as the date for the society participation in the Highway 37 Garage Sale. The date will be confirmed and more on these events will be published here as available nearer to the time of the events.
It was also announced that the program for the April meeting of the society will be a presentation on the 1940 Census by Lisa McKinney of Edgewood.
