La Guardia Airport Terminal Evacuation Order Lifted
By Ted Mann, Pervaiz Shallwani and Joe Jackson
UPDATED | Passengers were allowed to return to a La Guardia Airport's Terminal C on Tuesday after it was partially cleared over concerns of a smoking piece of luggage, officials said.
Port Authority police responded around 12:09 p.m., after a baggage handler reported that a piece of luggage was emitting white smoke. The bag, which was never loaded onto the plane, was moved to a remote location on the baggage ramp, where it was inspected by the New York Police Department bomb squad. An x-ray scan revealed no suspicious items and the bag has been "cleared," according to a spokesman for the Port Authority police.
The plane, Delta Flight 5208 to Richmond, Va., departed at about 12:25 p.m., the spokesman said.
Agents from the FBI are investigating the incident, the spokesman said, and are interviewing the bag's owner. A law enforcement official said the owner was a male, and that he and two female companions did not board the flight and were being interviewed by authorities
Passengers were allowed back into the closed portion of the terminal around 1:20 p.m.
John Duplica, 53, who was headed to Charlotte, said he was going through security when he was told to evacuate.
"I was actually standing at the x-ray machine and they said 'you have to evacuate the building immediately,'" he said. "A TSA agent literally shoved my coat in my arms and said 'you need to go right now.'"
The Joint Terrorism Task Force — a group of law-enforcement authorities that includes the New York Police Department and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police– investigated the incident.
During the scare, the Federal Aviation Administration reported a "ground stop" for some air carriers serving La Guardia, meaning departing flights were being held at their origin airports because of the security alert. Long lines remained after the evacuation order was lifted.
Travelers quickly began tweeting photos of the evacuation:

"(Martin) Heidegger notes that the origin of the word "technology" comes from the Greek word techne, and this word was applied not only to technology, but to art, and artistic technique as well. 'Once there was a time when the bringing-forth of the true into the beautiful was also called techne.' He found this to be a numinous correspondence, and considered that, in art, the 'saving power' capable of confronting the abyss of the technological enframing might be found.If art contains a saving power, it is not in the atomized artworks produced by individual subjects, but in a deeper collective vision that sees the world as a work of art, one that is already, as (Sri) Nisargadatta (Maharaj) and (Terrence) McKenna suggest, perfect in its 'satisfying all-at-onceness'.' Instead of envisioning an ultimately boring 'technological singularity,' we might be better served by considering an evolution of technique, of skillful means, aimed at this world, as it is now. Technology might find its proper place in our lives if we experienced such a shift in perspective–in a society oriented around technique, we might find that we desired far less gadgetry. We might start to prefer slowness to speed, subtlety and complexity to products aimed at standardized mind. Rather than projecting the spiritual quest and the search for the good life onto futuristic A.I.s, we could actually take the time to fulfill those goals, here and now, in the present company of our friends and lovers.Part of the problem seems embedded in the basic concept of a concrescence or singularity, which compacts our possibilities rather than expands them. The notion of a technological singularity reflects our culture's obsessive rationality, reducing qualitative aspects of being to quantifiable factors, and imposing abstract systems over complex variables. Instead of a technological singularity, we might reorient our thinking toward a more desirable multiplicity of technique. Technique is erotic in essence; it is what Glenn Gould or Thelonious Monk expresses through the piano–the interplay between learned skill and quantum improvisation that is the stuff of genius. Technique embraces the now-ness of our living world; technology throws us into endless insatiation."

SAN FRANCISCO -- They have fallen in line, one behind the other, taking the mound dogged by questions and leaving only after proving they do indeed have the answers.
And they are revealing those answers on baseball's biggest stage.
One night after left-hander Barry Zito squelched the Detroit bats in Game 1 of the World Series, fellow Giants southpaw Madison Bumgarner downright silenced the Tigers lineup in a 2-0 Game 2 victory Thursday night at China Basin.
Suddenly, San Francisco is two wins away from another world championship.
Two games away from winning it all and yet to hand the ball to the season-long ace, Matt Cain, who is scheduled to pitch Game 4.
Nor have the Giants turned to Ryan Vogelsong, their hottest pitcher this postseason. He's lined up for in Game 3 Saturday at Comerica Park.
"We don't, believe me, take anything for granted," manager Bruce Bochy said.
"It's a lot less stressful for sure," Bumgarner said, "but at the same time, I don't think we can stop pushing or we're going to find ourselves in the same spot we've been in."
That would require a three-game losing streak, something the Giants have not experienced since July. That's highly unlikely with Vogelsong and Cain starting the next two games.
Yet it will be exceedingly difficult for Vogelsong to surpass the performance of Bumgarner, who responded to a 10-day layoff -- during which he benefited from the counseling and tutoring of pitching coach Dave Righetti -- by allowing two hits and striking out eight over seven shutout innings.
"He had a pretty determined look on his face tonight," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "He made some good pitches when he had to."
This was a delightful turn of events insofar as Bumgarner easily was San Francisco's least effective starter during the National League playoffs. He entered Thursday with an ERA of 11.25 this postseason. He was horrid in Game 2 of the NLDS, allowing four runs in 4 1/3 innings in a loss to Cincinnati, and he was worse in Game 1 of the NLCS against St. Louis, allowing six runs over 32/3 innings in another loss.
He was dropped from the rotation, and fully deserving of the demotion.
Bumgarner responded by going underground with Righetti. They studied video and discovered the big (6-foot-4, 220 pounds) left-hander was the victim of sloppy mechanics. His delivery had gotten too long, resulting in superfluous stress on his arm and overall fatigue.
After three bullpen sessions under Righetti's supervision, it was decided early this week that Bumgarner would rejoin the rotation.
The result was Bumgarner at his best, an 86-pitch masterpiece.
"It's a testament to him," Vogelsong said. "It's not easy to fix yourself like that and go out there and perform so well. He wasn't just OK. He was really good."
Bumgarner struck out the first two batters he saw, Austin Jackson and Omar Infante, retiring the side in order in the first. His only real trouble came in the second, when he hit Prince Fielder with a pitch and Delmon Young followed with a double down into the left-field corner.
Fielder, heeding the signal of third-base coach Gene Lamont, tried to score and was thrown out at the plate on the relay by second baseman Marco Scutaro -- the only 7-4-2 putout in World Series history.
Bumgarner settled down, facing one over the minimum until he was lifted for a pinch hitter in the seventh.
"The only difference was being able to make pitches," Bumgarner said. "I hadn't been able to do that this postseason. And tonight, Buster (Posey) caught a great game, defense did great."
Bumgarner was being far too modest. This performance only embellishes a growing World Series resume that originates to San Francisco's 2010 championship.
He's the first pitcher since Sandy Koufax in 1965 to pitch consecutive World Series games of at least seven scoreless innings with at least six strikeouts.
What does it look like? It looks as if Bumgarner is poised to become another Andy Pettitte, the big Yankees left-hander who holds a number of postseason records. Both are southpaws. They are of similar size. And, if you look closely you'll notice Bumgarner mimics Pettitte's focused glare toward the plate -- glove high, cap low and steely eyes in between.
And he's only 23.
So as the Giants leave town, they do so with a mighty wind at their back. They up two games to none, with their stud starters awaiting the Tigers.
Moreover, Zito isn't looking like the old Zito. And Bumgarner, who temporarily had become everything Zito had been for this team -- a nearly unbearable burden -- suddenly looks like the best of himself.
If this is how it's going to be, the anxieties can cease. There will be no further questions -- not for Bumgarner and not for the Giants.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — With approximately 350 houses, condos and freestanding condos currently for sale at the start of June 2012, buyers have a wide selection from which to consider making a purchase. Since we do not have any tract housing and virtually all of our single-family residences are custom homes, buyers who are patient will eventually find the combination of location, floor plan, view and price range they are seeking.
The vast majority Incline Village and Crystal Bay real estate buyers have their primary residence located outside of the area. It's not often that we have a first time buyer looking in our community, so most people are familiar with the property search process. There are a number of factors that can make finding just the right place challenging in our local market. With all of the different subdivisions, elevation differences, snowfall variations, background noise issues among other things, it's not a simple matter of just looking on the Internet for a place with the right number of bedrooms and bathrooms that fits your budget.
The Incline Village Board of Realtors MLS is divided into several different categories and it's important to search everyone that is applicable to your personal situation. While most agents will set up property searches for a typical buyer in the three main categories which include houses, condos and freestanding condos (also known as PUDs for Planned Unit Development), the investment residential and Tenant in Common (TIC) categories are also worth monitoring.
A couple of weeks ago a duplex came on the market on the lower part of Golfer's Pass Road priced around $369,000. The listing agent correctly categorized this property in the investment residential section of the MLS. Only a very small percentage of buyers are actively seeking investment residential properties, most are looking in the house, condo and freestanding condo categories. So, the only buyers who received e-mail notification of this value priced duplex were the ones who had agents that were creative enough to search investment residential properties.
Had this property been categorized as single-family residential it would have gotten an enormous amount of interest based on how it looked on paper. Five bedrooms, four full baths, one car attached garage, a large level lot approximately 1/3 of an acre in size and more than half of the place had been very nicely remodeled. You won't a house or PUD with those features at a moderate elevation anywhere near this price range in this nice condition. But a property search that included only houses and freestanding condos would have missed this one.
It's important for agents and buyers to cast a wider net when searching for properties in our local market. Occasionally, a property with the attributes a buyer is seeking will be listed in a category other than where they have focused their primary search. Many out of area buyers are only used to seeing houses and condos and are not familiar with the large variety of freestanding condo developments that we have in Incline Village. It requires the skills of a professional agent to educate buyers about this category of properties that could very well contain something of interest.
Free standing condos can be very attractive to a vacation home buyer because they often combine the best elements of a single-family home and a condo. Most freestanding condos are part of a small to medium-size development rarely exceeding 60 units. The Homeowners Association generally maintains the common areas, does landscaping and snow removal and may provide exterior maintenance. However, unlike a traditional attached condominium you do get your own four walls and sometimes even your own little slice of land depending on the development.
With single-family home prices having decreased approximately 30% since the peak four years ago, many buyers who were priced out of the market and looking only at condos can now realistically look at houses. It used to be if you were spending under $800,000 you would pretty much confine your search to condos and freestanding condos. Now, anyone with a budget of $400,000 to $600,000 can occasionally find a single-family residence that meets their requirements. It's not easy finding a lower-priced home that is well maintained and in good location. But these little gems do come along from time to time and they are snatched up rather quickly.
It's important that buyers ignore the price estimates that they find on home valuation services on the Internet. Estimates of property values that are created by a computerized algorithm are based more on dollars per square foot and the age of the structure than anything else. These estimates on Zillow, House Values and other services are completely inaccurate when evaluating properties in communities such as Incline Village and Crystal Bay. The Zillow algorithm does not know whether a house has a panoramic Lakeview, usable lot, coverage restrictions or dozens of other factors all of which can have a dramatic effect on the value of a property.
Buyers are well served by casting a wider net and searching in property categories they may not have originally considered. Sometimes a buyer who was initially looking at condos because they did not want to do yard work will find a single-family home with a natural landscape that they fall in love with. Also, search above your target price range because you never know when the seller of a property you like will do a significant price reduction. Be creative in your property search and you just might find what you're looking for when you least expect it.

There's one piece of advice you won't catch college writing professor Kristopher Jansma giving his students at the two New York-area campuses - Manhattanville College and SUNY Purchase - where he works as an adjunct professor."People say you should write what you know, but that so depletes our possibilities, and by extent, our literature," said Jansma, whose first book, "The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards," has gotten plenty of buzz since it was published last month. Barnes & Noble selected Jansma for its Discover Great New Writers program; and the book is one of this month's Indie Next Pick selections. Tonight, Jansma stops by The Bookworm of Edwards to talk about his debut. In the novel, Jansma takes readers to far-off climes: Sri Lanka, Iceland, Tokyo, Ghana, Dubai and more. "It was important to me that the novel not just be limited to what I knew already," he said. "For me, writing has always been an excuse to learn a lot more than the little I know."Jansma, a 30-year-old Brooklyn resident, has been to some of the places he writes about, but not all of them. "I did go to the Grand Canyon, and rafted the river with my family, and also to Luxembourg with my wife, and we spent a day in the old city there," he said. "I was also able to go to Ghana with my in-laws, who were taking a sabbatical to teach in Kumasi. But I haven't been to Dubai or Iceland or Sri Lanka. Yet."The stories Jansma deftly weaves in the book - one reviewer on goodreads.com said it "reads like a novel and also like a collection of short stories" - required a lot of research, both in libraries and online."It's pretty incredible what you can do these days," he said. "A few mouse clicks and I can be looking at a street view right outside of the Colombo Fort Railway Station. I can look at the cocktail menu for Vu's Bar in the Jumeirah Emirates Towers. I can go onto a forum where Indian couples are discussing Hindi weddings."A nameless narratorIn the book, Jansma chooses not to give the narrator a real name. Why, you might ask?"Unnamed narrators have long been a fascination of mine, because here you have someone who is telling you a story, most likely confessing all sorts of personal and intimate things, and yet withholds the most basic social intimacy," he said. "And this creates a kind of suspicion. Anyone making a confession is also trying to sell you something - a version of events, a justification for wrongdoing, or even just a humanity behind certain actions. But when the person won't even tell you his name, then it makes you think twice about his agenda."At its heart, the book explores the concept of truth. That's because Jansma himself is fascinated by "fakers and plagiarists and liars," he said. "I'm really a terrible liar myself and I'm always intrigued by people who can do it so effortlessly," he said. "Growing up, I used to love the character of George on Seinfeld, who advises Jerry on passing a lie detector test: 'It's not a lie if you believe it.' And that's one thing I wonder about - do these people really believe their own lies?"One of Jansma's writing professors nailed it when he wrote: Fiction was "something that could have happened, but didn't." Despite that, people aren't quite as moved by a work of fiction as they might be if it were a true story. "Why does the same exact story fail to move us until we're told 'this really happened'?" he asks. "People forget that fiction can be every bit as truthful as nonfiction. When the reader begins by accepting the premise that what they're about to read is not a factual account of real events or the actions of real people ... And yet they will still hang on every twist, and still fall in love with the characters and pump their fists in the air when they do well and sob when they fail ... Well, that's a very real thing."

1. Ethical issues in open source ([[OpenSource#note1][OpenSource:1]]"[[oss]]"[[OpenSourceIssues#note1][OpenSourceIssues:1]]"[[ToBlog#note1][ToBlog:1]])
- What is the fundamental ethical issue behind open source software? There are zealots in both the open source and closed source camps, but the world isn't as black and white as people paint it. What do _you_ personally feel about the issue of open source? Think about this a great deal. I think it'll give you an aha moment. =) This is something really worth writing about.
- Think about the difference between open source software and closed source software, and the difference between free software and commercial software. Note that free != open source, and commercial != closed source. Think about what the different combinations mean from the point of view of users, developers, and companies.
- Businesses would like to be able to hire fresh graduates and put them to work right away without having to train them in the specific software used in the business. Learning how to properly use a toolset takes a lot of time, and these companies argue that this kind of training should be part of students' formal education. In addition, many HR personnel filter resumes based on keyword. Students also sometimes become restless when they're asked to use languages or toolsets not seen in the job ads. As a result, there's strong incentive to teach the quirks of vendor-specific products like Microsoft Visual Studio .NET instead of focusing on general ideas. This is one of the biggest barriers to open source adoption in schools. Should schools cater to their market, or should they also explore alternatives?
- Large companies complain about the unlicensed distribution and use of commercial software (popularly known as piracy). However, it actually strengthens dominant companies. For example, would we really be so dependent on Microsoft Office if people only used legitimate copies? If enough people chose not to buy Microsoft Office, then alternative office suites could flourish. Unfortunately, the unlicensed distribution and use of software means that other people can assume people run Microsoft Office, leading to a vicious cycle. What do you think about that?
- Non-trivial software programs have errors. Sometimes these errors are severe, exposing your system to attacks. Some major software vendors practice 'security through obscurity'; security holes are not publicized, and the companies sometimes aggressively go after whistle-blowers who try to point out weaknesses in the software. Because the companies are the only ones with access to the source, they are the only ones who can fix the broken programs, and their resources are limited. On the other hand, open source exposes all source code for potential audit. This means that other organizations and developers can examine the code for security errors, which often results in faster fixes when an exploit is actually discovered. On the other hand, it also means that crackers who want to exploit systems can find holes more easily. What do you think about disclosure versus non-disclosure?
- Many people in the Philippines are not completely comfortable with English. We are too small a market for multinational companies to develop Tagalog versions, but some volunteers have been working on translating open source software. This has met with mixed reactions. Some people say that localizing software for the Philippines is a waste of time and students should get used to English versions right away; others say that localization is the key to helping more Filipinos get into information technology. What do you think?
- Closed source software tends to optimize for number of features and ease of use, because that's what draws customers. It makes common things easier. Open source software often comes with a high learning curve but focuses on power and security, making it easier for people to use it to fit their individual needs. Think about the different markets for open source and closed source software, particularly in terms of security. What are the implications of these choices?
- Open source means there's a lot of code out there that you can base your programming projects on. As a student, where should you draw the line on acceptable use of other people's code?
- Closed source software often carries a "click-through license" severely limiting your rights and giving no warranty anyway (although this last part is buried in the fine print). Open source software tells you right away that there is no warranty. It's kinda funny the way closed source companies keep criticizing the fact that open source software isn't backed by a company. Look into the usefulness of support contracts for large and small clients. (Hah. Leading question. Sorry. ;) )
- What do you think about NDAs?

I need to set the end point of a line based on another line without altering the length, only the angle. Here's an example:
Line A Vertical - length 28, Start 27,56 End 27, 28
Line B - length 40 Start 57,22
I need the end point of B to rest on line A at any point on line A that preserves the length of line B. I've tried moving and snapping, but I lose either my start point or length in the process. I can probably figure out the angle with math, but I'd rather have an 'in program' solution that can eventually be programmed to draw automatically. The resulting angle of B is important for the rest of the drawing.
Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated! Thank you.

Inman woman charged with arson
Published: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 9:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 9:43 p.m.
A woman was charged with arson after the Boiling Springs Fire Department responded to a suspicious fire on Venus Street Tuesday.
Dorothy Elaine Smith, 45, of 181 Venus St., Inman, was charged with third-degree arson, according to online jail records.
An incident report states that deputies and firefighters arrived to find that a wall and mattress had been burned in the house. A deputy noted a lighter and the spout of a gas can on the kitchen table, the report states.
Smith told the deputy that she had gone to the house about 7 p.m. to get something. She was not living in the house at the time due to a prior incident during which someone poured gasoline inside the house and written vulgar graffiti on the wall, according to the report.
Smith said she touched the carpet to see if it was still wet with gasoline and she felt static electricity. She ran to a neigbbor's house and saw a person in the master bedroom where the fire had been, according to the report. She called 911 after seeing smoke coming out of the window, the report states.
Smith was later arrested. She was released from the Spartanburg County Detention Facility Wednesday on a $20,000 bond.

When the Minnesota Inventors Congress expanded its operation out to the Redwood Falls airport, its previous landlords decided to do some expanding of their own."Ever since we bought this building four years ago, we thought if the MIC ever moved out, we'd like to make use of the whole space," said Nan Kaufenberg, one of the owners of Scenic City Realty."So in a sense, you could say this project was in the works for four years," said broker and realtor Mike Kaufenberg.Realtor Geri Theis said, "There's enough business in town that there was room for expansion, and we can make use of the whole building. We did the renovation because we have a lot of belief in this town."Scenic City Realty renovated the entire front of the building, and remodeled the inside to create a meeting room for clients, and to give each realtor his or her own office.Part of the expanded service is also keeping a realtor on call 24 hours a day."Our goal was to have someone in the office during all the business hours, but sometimes we have to leave to show a house," said Theis. "But now we at least have someone always available to answer phones."In addition, clients wanting information at any hour of the day or night can use the 24-hour information lobby kept unlocked in the front of the building.In addition to the three realtors based full time in Redwood Falls, Scenic City Realty includes Mitch Heiling, who works out of his home in another part of the county.Scenic City Realty also added a fifth realtor last month: Melanie Harris.In the previous space, Nan turned several hallways into a small art gallery. The gallery is gone, but Nan said she is still in the market for art by local artists to hang on the walls.

David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|(B) The deliberate omiss... >
|(H) Manipulation of stat... >>
(A) Irving's claim
1. In describing the deportation of Jews from Berlin, Irving mentions an antisemitic article by Goebbels, published on 16 November 1941 in Das Reich, his propaganda paper.32 According to Irving, this article (entitled 'The Jews are to blame!') was Goebbels's 'most venomous leader article ever for Das Reich...'.33
2. Irving summarises the article as follows:
'The Jews wanted this war', he argued, 'and now they have it'. They were getting their just deserts. An eye for an eye. All Jews alike, whether languishing in an eastern ghetto or whining for war from New York, were conspiring against Germany. The Yellow Star, he argued, was akin to a 'hygienic prophylactic', because the most dangerous were those otherwise not recognizable as Jews. To those who might bleat that the Jews were humans too he pointed out that the same could be said of muggers, rapists, and pimps. 'Suddenly one has the impression that all of Berlin's Jews are either darling little babies who wouldn't hurt a fly, or fragile old ladies'. 'Were we to lose this war', he continued, 'these oh-so-harmless Jewish worthies would suddenly turn into rapacious wolves...That's what happened in Bessarabia and the Baltic states after the Bolsheviks marched in, and neither the people nor the governments there had had the slightest sympathy for them. For us, in our fight against the Jews, there is no going back'.34
3.Directly after his summary of the article, Irving claims that this article shows that Goebbels was much more violent in his antisemitism than Hitler. This is part of Irving's general strategy to diminish the magnitude of Hitler's hatred for the Jews. For instance, just ten pages before the statement cited above, Irving claims that 'neither the broad German public nor their Führer shared his (i.e. Goebbels's) satanic antisemitism.'35
4. Irving also argues that the Goebbels article in Das Reich directly influenced the SS in widening the scope of the 'final solution'. He indirectly constructs a link between the article and the killing of the Jews in Riga on 30 November 1941. The full text of the relevant passage in Irving's Goebbels reads:
The article displayed a far more uncompromising face than Hitler's towards the Jews. When the Führer came to Berlin for Luftwaffe general Ernst Udet's funeral he again instructed Goebbels to pursue a policy against the Jews 'that does not cause us endless difficulties', and told him to go easy on mixed marriages in future.
Dieter Wisliceny, one of Eichmann's closest associates, would describe the Goebbels article in Das Reich as a watershed in the Final Solution of the Jewish Problem. The S.S. took it as a sign from above. Adolf Eichmann would admit in his unpublished memoirs, 'It's quite possible that I got orders to direct this or that railroad transport to Riga'. On the last day of November, on the orders of the local S.S. commander Friedrich Jeckeln, four thousand of Riga's unwanted Jews were trucked five miles down the Dvinsk highway to Skiatowa, plundered, and machine-gunned into two or three pits.36
5. It is necessary to deal with Irving's treatment of this article in a number of stages. Let us look first at Irving's use of the article to claim that Goebbels showed himself to be more antisemitic than Hitler, before moving on to investigate his claim regarding the impact of Goebbels on the SS.

WASHINGTON (November 27, 2012)—U.S. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell Tuesday denounced the way President Barack Obama is going about building support for his position on avoiding the "fiscal cliff."
The White House said Mr. Obama intends to hold a series of events aimed at building support for his approach, which includes allowing taxes on the wealthy to rise while extending tax cuts for families earning $250,000 or less.
Those events include a meeting Tuesday with small business owners, and one Wednesday with middle-class families.
McConnell, however, says instead of sitting down with lawmakers and "working out an agreement," Mr. Obama is "back out on the campaign trail."
Both sides are warning that the impending tax increases and spending cuts set for January could harm the nation's economic recovery, but an agreement still seems far from certain.
Mr. Obama isn't the only one planning to try to build public support for his position.
House Republicans are planning to hold events in the coming weeks with small businesses in their districts, to highlight the effect that tax increases could have on small businesses and their employees.

About the Book
The New York Times Book Review raves about author Val McDermid, calling her "as smooth a practitioner of crime fiction as anyone out there. She's the best we've got." Her newest thriller, Beneath the Bleeding, once again proves it to be so. Winner of the coveted CWA Gold Dagger for Best Crime Novel of the Year for The Mermaids Singing, McDermid reunites her popular investigating team of Dr. Tony Hill and DCI Carol Jordan in Beneath the Bleeding, as they search for the truth behind a horrific act of mass murder and wholesale destruction.
Published in the U. S. for the first time
The residents of Bradfield are devastated when their star midfielder dies, the victim of a bizarre, seemingly motiveless murder. In a hospital, recovering from injuries, criminal profiler and psychologist Dr. Tony Hill struggles to make sense of the fragments of information he can gather in order to help his ally, Detective Chief Inspector Carol Jordan, bring a killer to justice. Then an explosion rips through a soccer stadium, leaving dozens dead and many more injured, and Jordan finds herself pushed to the margins of the investigation by the intelligence services. Despite the dark places in their relationship, Tony and Carol remain the best hope for uncovering the truth about an ever-increasing series of unspeakable crimes. Are they terrorist attacks, a personal vendetta . . . or something even more sinister?

FARMER'S KORNER - It was really, really cold. It snowed in the second half.
In other words, it was just another day at the office for Battle Mountain girls lacrosse. As as is becoming a nice habit, the Huskies won again, downing Summit County, 15-9, in Farmer's Korner.
"No big deal," Huskies coach Emily Jaissle said. "Just a snow storm here or there."
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is Battle Mountain's first win over the Tigers in the history of the girls lacrosse program, yet another nice item to check off the list.
Senior captain Maddi Conlin had six goals and two assists. Clare Backer had a double hat trick as well. Hannah Gershenoff, Tyra Kuller and Hayley Clarke also found the net. Siena Miller was magnificent in net with a bunch of saves.
And so after three games in four day, the Huskies have some well-deserved time off with spring break.
"They're getting a few days off to get some good rest," Jaissle said. "Then we'll get together and get the ball rolling again."
The Huskies return to action April 23 with a big game at Aspen.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Lotfi Mansouri, who led the San Francisco Opera as its general director from 1988 to 2001, died Friday at his San Francisco home after a bout with pancreatic cancer. He was 84.
The company's fourth general director, Mansouri ruled with grand personality and to mixed reviews. Whatever the cognoscenti thought of him, he was a man of influence, introducing supertitles to the world of opera and bringing a bevy of new works to War Memorial Opera House. Those included composer Stewart Wallace's "Harvey Milk" about the slain San Francisco supervisor and John Adams' "The Death of Klinghoffer" about the hijacking of the Achille Lauro cruise ship.
He also guided the company through a year of homelessness: When the opera house was closed for seismic upgrades in 1996-97 -- an $86 million project -- Mansouri arranged for productions to move to the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, the Golden Gate Theatre and the Orpheum Theatre. His goal that season was "to take the opera to the people and demonstrate that opera can be flexible," he told Contra Costa Times classical music writer Georgia Rowe in 1997. "People always accuse opera of being an old-fashioned medium. Nonsense! Opera is very flexible, and it's for everybody."
At his design, a Broadway-style "La Bohème" ran for eight performances each week at the Orpheum in the summer of 1996, far more than the operatic norm.
Born in Tehran in 1929, Mansouri left his country to study medicine at UCLA, but opera intervened. He became resident stage director at Zurich Opera in 1960, launching an international career, directing productions from La Scala in Milan to the Metropolitan Opera in Manhattan. In 1963, he debuted as a stage director at San Francisco Opera, where he eventually directed more than 75 productions, including a good many during his tenure as general director.
In a statement released by the company about Mansouri's death, David Gockley, San Francisco Opera's current general director, said he "had the pleasure and honor to know Lotfi for 48 years, as teacher, director, colleague and friend. His larger-than-life personality, broad sense of humor and boundless enthusiasm for his work endeared him to everyone. His knowledge of the repertoire and stagecraft were daunting, and it benefitted every organization he was associated with."
It was during a January 1983 production of Richard Strauss's "Elektra" at the Canadian Opera Company in Toronto, where he was general director, that Mansouri introduced supertitles -- translations of lyrics and dialogue, projected on screens above the stage. The practice was denounced by purists and resisted throughout the opera world, but it ultimately spread everywhere -- a revolution in opera, introduced by Mansouri.
In San Francisco, his leadership was often denigrated. Some said Mansouri emphasized spectacle over quality and that casting during much of his tenure was erratic. Others objected to the company's modern productions of Berg's "Lulu" and Britten's "Death in Venice," which they found too stark. His battles with music director Donald Runnicles, appointed by Mansouri, were the talk of the town.
Still, Mansouri, who reportedly earned about $375,000 per year at the end of his directorship, led the company through a period of change. Other new operas introduced during his tenure included Jake Heggie's "Dead Man Walking" and Andre Previn's "A Streetcar Named Desire."
"In the arts, your job is to invent and create new things," he told Rowe in the 1997 interview.
Under his direction, the company made its first commercial recordings, including ones of "Harvey Milk," "Streetcar" and "Dead Man Walking." An exchange with the Kirov Opera featured the American debut of conductor Valery Gergiev and soprano Anna Netrebko, who -- only 23 in 1995 -- sang to raves as Lyudmila in Glinka's "Ruslan and Lyudmila."
Mansouri indeed was a showman: He often served as master of ceremonies at the company's annual Opera in the Park concert, delivering champagne to the singers onstage. His friendships extended from Joan Sutherland to Carol Burnett. And his Hollywood connections led to his directing the opera sequences for the 1981 MGM movie "Yes Giorgio," starring Luciano Pavarotti, and 1987's "Moonstruck" with Cher and Nicolas Cage.
His honors included the title of Chevalier of France's Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and a 2009 lifetime achievement award from the National Endowment for the Arts Opera Honors. Awarded the San Francisco Opera Medal in 2001, he authored or co-authored a number of books, including "Lotfi Mansouri: An Operatic Journey," "Lotfi Mansouri: An Operatic Life" and "True Tales from the Mad, Mad, Mad World of Opera."
He is survived by his wife Marjorie (Midge), their daughter Shireen Mansouri and son-in-law Shawn Delaney. Gockley said Mansouri's "operatic children" around the world will all "miss him dearly."

City would be foolish to build another school
We need to stop the insanity! That the city of Waterbury is thinking about building another school (Jan. 27 article, "East End woods suggested as site for city school") is ludicrous. Every other city in Connecticut has either canceled or backed off from any thought of building a new facility, since it is difficult for the state to fund anything.
I find it crazy that as a taxpayer in Waterbury, I am being told by education officials who live out of town that we dire need another school. When they take their salaries home, increased taxes in Waterbury won't be their problem. I'll be generous in saying half the school employees don't live in Waterbury, but are fully in favor of building another monument in which to bolster "connected" hires with salaries in excess of $100,000.

- Pleasant Hill's 'dome' movie theater screens fade to black Sunday
PLEASANT HILL -- Although the final curtain closed on the iconic dome theater in Pleasant Hill on Sunday, many supporters were still hoping to rewrite the script for the decades-old cinematic landmark.
"I think this is the last historic venue in Pleasant Hill that represents our history, our culture and the arts," said Darcy Matthews of Pleasant Hill, who has lived in the city 50 years. "This could be a Pleasant Hill Arts and Cultural Center. These guys are missing the boat."
Matthews and other members of a grass-roots "Save the Dome" group stood outside the theater waving signs, collecting petition signatures and soliciting donations for their appeal of the city planning commission's approval of a project that would replace the theater with a sporting goods store.
A steady stream of moviegoers from as far away as Sacramento, Oakland and Palo Alto stopped by to sign the petition and share fond memories of the CineArts theater in the Crossroads Shopping Center, before going inside to watch "2001: A Space Odyssey," which appeared to be destined to be the final film shown in the beloved venue.
"It's very sad," said James Mowdy, 44, who grew up in Pleasant Hill and now lives in Oakland. "I came here to see 'Indiana Jones.' My dad brought me. I saw my first movie on my own here -- 'Hair,' in 1980. I saw 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' here. This is central to the story of Pleasant Hill. There needs to be critical mass from the community to save this."
William Egli, on the other hand, said he wants to save the theater more because of the independent arts films it now shows than because of its architecture or history.
"You have to go to Berkeley or Piedmont or San Francisco to see these movies that are playing right now," he said. "Would it hurt to have a little bit of culture in the 'burbs?"
Clayton residents Merwyn Powell and his wife, Roberta, both 75, said they have been coming to the dome for decades.
"This is a unique theater that has acoustics you can't get in other theaters," Merwyn Powell said, expressing sadness about its closure. "It's an experience that you won't be able to get."
Robert Merk, 52, said he drove from Sacramento to see a movie in the dome one last time, recalling the many films he watched there when he lived in Walnut Creek.
"It's a real shame," he said. "I'm going to miss it."
Adam Nilsen, 32, of Palo Alto, who grew up in Pleasant Hill, is trying to revive the city's historical society by drawing attention to the dome's demise. There are other landmarks that are also threatened, such as the Old School House on Oak Park Boulevard and Rodgers Ranch, he said.
"What we're trying to do is to instill a spirit of Pleasant Hill as a historic place," he said. "In Pleasant Hill, the pattern has been to tear things down and build new things."
The City Council will hold a public hearing May 6, to consider the Save the Dome group's appeal and review the city's approvals of the SyWest project. The public can also comment on the project before a Monday closed-session City Council meeting.
The Pleasant Hill City Council will hold a closed-session meeting at 7:30 p.m. Monday in the city manager's conference room at Pleasant Hill City Hall, 100 Gregory Lane, to discuss undisclosed anticipated litigation. The public is invited to comment before the meeting on anything within the council's jurisdiction.
More information about the SyWest project and appeal is available by calling 925-671-5224 or by visiting www.ci.pleasant-hill.CA.us. Click on SyWest Redevelopment Project.

For two decades I've been a Christmas-music enthusiast. An odd one, to be sure, since I'm Jewish, and I'm not exactly a fan of the gushing, flashy vocal pop style that most Christmas music is rendered in. Still, around October each year, my antennae go up: "Whoa, Joan Osborne's doing a holiday album?" "Did Roy Orbison actually record 'I'll Be Home for Christmas,' or is that playing just in my head?" "Hmmm, I wonder how 'A Death-Metal Christmas' album would go over."This year, though, I've had a tough time getting the old enthusiasm up. Here, I think, is what's going on. With the recorded music industry in steep decline, holiday CDs is the rare category that's in growth mode. It's hard to gift-wrap a digital download, but a CD by John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John looks nice under the tree, even if it contains the nine millionth versions of "The Christmas Song" and "Silent Night" (and even if it's John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John).So flocks of singers rush to record Christmas songs, even those who have no business doing them. My ears have thus been bombarded by endless takes on "Baby, It's Cold Outside" (which, by the way, has become the holiday song of the moment. So much so that Lyle Lovett included it on his most recent album, which wasn't even a Christmas album - it was released in late February).But I haven't succumbed yet to the Bah, humbug attitude. I'm still in there listening for the good stuff. It just seems like you've got to wade through the musical equivalent of fruitcake (that would be Barry Manilow's "A Christmas Gift of Love") and neckties ("Roseanne Barr Sings the Christmas Classics") to get to the decent stuff.Here's the latest batch. And next week, look for round two in this space.
produced by Adam Anders & Peer Astrom (Elektra)Quiz: What does Cee Lo Green, the offbeat, sometimes off-color, critically acclaimed r&b singer have in common with John Denver, the late folkie? There is the Aspen connection: Denver lived his adult life here, while Green gets the spotlight gig of New Year's Eve at Aspen's Belly Up this year.And both have collaborated with the Muppets on a Christmas project. Denver did a TV special, "John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together," in 1979. "Cee Lo's Magic Moment" features the new song "All I Need Is Love," which features the Muppets. (Why does it feature the Muppets? Because Green also did a TV special to promote this album, and the Muppets probably look better on TV than they sound on a recording.) Other notable guests include Christina Aguilera, a duet partner on "Baby, It's Cold Outside"; and Rod Stewart and Trombone Shorty, who add to "Merry Christmas, Baby."Green's voice is not only strong, high and flexible, it is versatile enough to span from a gospel-like take on "Mary, Did You Know?" to a gentle touch for Joni Mitchell's "River." But Green is best when he's revving things up, making an all-out funk party of "What Christmas Means to Me," and giving "White Christmas" the most boisterous go it's ever seen.Cee Lo Green, featuring Goodie Mob, will play Dec. 31 at Belly Up Aspen.
(Hear Music)General rule: Holiday collections like this are generally better than albums by a single artist. Most good singers can find one old Christmas song to get enthused about and give a decent reading. Sustaining that interest through an entire album is asking a lot."Holidays Rule" is a fine example. It gathers a bunch of acts, mostly from the indie fringe, and strikes a nice balance between edgy and traditional. As it happens four of the artists are coming to Aspen soon. The Shins (Dec. 14, Belly Up) deliver a stomping, Beach Boys-ish take on Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime"; Rufus Wainwright (Dec. 27, Belly Up) duets with Sharon Van Etten on a stylishly boozy "Baby, It's Cold Outside"; the Preservation Hall Jazz Band (Feb. 10) backs Irma Thomas on a "May Ev'ry Day Be Christmas" that's straight off Bourbon Street; and Punch Brothers (Saturday, Dec. 8) put an edgy acoustic spin on "O Come, O Come Emmanual."As for highlights, Ohio rockers Heartless Bastards do a fine job on "Blue Christmas"; Black Prairie with singer Sallie Ford give an Appalachian twist to "(Everybody's Waitin' For) The Man with the Bag"; and alt-violinist Andrew Bird closes things with a swinging "Auld Lang Syne."And McCartney, who probably counts as fringe himself these days, adds a passable version of "The Christmas Song," done straight-up standards style.
produced by Johnny Gale (LaPlano Records)There is much to note about Kenny Vance: As an original member of the '60s pop group Jay & the Americans, he opened for the Beatles and the Stone; he gave a start to Steely Dan and served as Steely Dan's first producer; he picked the music for "Animal House"; he booked Prince and James Brown on "Saturday Night Live." The memorabilia he collected over this career, stored in his Long Island home, was washed away recently by Sandy.And there is much to like about "Mr. Santa" - the overall doo-wop sound and the early rock 'n' roll vibe of "Run Run Rudolph," which sounds exotic compared to most Christmas-music pap. Vance has an ability to employ nostalgia without getting overwhelmed by it; there is a tone of longing to his versions of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "Please Come Home for Christmas."Still, nothing on "Mr. Santa" beats Vance's dedication printed inside the jacket: "For my mother, Ethel Rosenberg." (Vance, a Brooklyn native, was born Kenneth Rosenberg.)
produced by Mark Bright (Mercury Nashville)For one thing, no 19-year-old earns the right to title an album "Christmas with Whomever," not even an "American Idol" winner. For another, I can't decide which is more overblown here: the twangy arrangements given to lightweight holiday classics ("Let It Snow," "Jingle Bells") and two original tunes ("Christmas Comin' Round Again," "Christmas in Heaven"); or McCreery's overworked Southern drawl. I'm going with the accent; stamping "Hey y'all, I'm from North Carolina" across his forehead would be less grating and obvious. To pile on, why does a 19-year-old want to sound like a 49-year-old?"Christmas with Scotty McCreery?" I'd rather sit on the lap of a Santa Claus in a mall whose anchor store is a K-Mart.
produced by David Foster (Verve)The most predictable Christmas album ev- ... wait, make that the most predictable album ever. With Rod Stewart having committed fully to the "old rocker turns crooner" career track, the only wonder is that it took this long for Stewart to trot out versions of "White Christmas," "Blue Christmas," and a "Silent Night" with a kids chorus. The results are tame, but not bad; after a decade doing this, Stewart knows how to sing standards-style without embarrassing himself. Even his special guests are by the book: Michael Bubl, Chris Botti. The real treat here is when Stewart shares the mike with the unexpected guests; a take on "Merry Christmas, Baby" with Cee Lo Green and Trombone Shorty wakes up the ears. And the duet with Ella Fitzgerald on "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" should be a classic.
(Hip-O)Remember the last time someone thought it would be a good idea to reunite the co-star of "Grease?" The result was the 1983 romantic comedy "Two of a Kind," in which Travolta and Newton-John team up to save the world from a vengeful God who is sick of mankind's attitude. The twist is that both of their characters are shady - a thief and a con artist. I was torn between saying "This Christmas" is as bad as that, or rating it as at least a slight improvement - and then I heard the take on "Silent Night," an unholy mix of schmaltzy string arrangements, overdone emotions and a childrens chorus, and suddenly I was thinking, "You know, at least 'Two of a Kind' had Olivia Newton-John in her physical prime.""This Christmas" features some notable guest turns: Barbra Streisand, James Taylor, Chick Corea. (To clear up the obvious mystery: both Corea and Travolta are Scientology adherents.) A take on "Winter Wonderland" might be great if you could isolate just the guest artists - Tony Bennett and the Count Basie Orchestra - and strip away Travolta and Newton-John's parts, especially that outro of the two squealing, "Oh, Tony!"
produced by Dave Grusin (UME)It's hard to deny the charms of "James Taylor at Christmas," which features J.T. giving tasty readings of the standards and earned a Grammy nomination for best traditional pop album. But it's also hard to see any good reason for the re-release of the album, which initially came out in 2006. For additional material to justify the reissue, Taylor included a track he had released for an earlier project - George Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun," which clearly doesn't belong on a winter-themed album, and crummy version to boot - and a song outside the English language - "Mon Beau Sapin," a French version of "O Christmas Tree."firstname.lastname@example.com

text: Hello, my name is Dylan and I am new at this site. I absolutely love to read fantasy because I find it a sweet relief from the "real world". I like to write too both fantasy and poetry. I was wondering if anyone here has read Tad Williams and his Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn Series. I had read his first book, The Dragonbone Chair, but I found it heavy to read through and slow. It seemed to only get interesting towards the end. I know the back cover lauds it as comparable to Tolkien, but I just don't see it. Before I invest another buck into this series I wanted to get some thoughts on what some readers here may have experienced with the series. Is it worth it? Thanks.

An ice jam has forced several people out of their homes in Malone.
Emergency responders in Franklin County had to evacuate some residents on lower Park Street due to flooding caused by an ice jam in the Salmon River. Power to the eight homes experiencing flooding has been cut.
A State of Emergency was declared Thursday morning by the town supervisor. The declaration frees up resources and funding.
Officials warned residents that ice jams such as this one are unpredictable and dangerous. The town supervisor said it is not uncommon for this area of the Salmon River to flood into the street.
Officials believe the ice jam will break apart and correct the flooding issue when the weather warms up.

There were 68 bookings at the San Joaquin County Jail in the 24 hours ending at 8 a.m. Tuesday. At that time, there were 1,468 people held at the jail, which has an official capacity of 1,411. When the jail is full, some inmates may be released early.
Robbery arrest: A woman told deputies that a man took her cellphone and when she tried to stop him, he brandished a handgun. The woman identified the man as 30-year-old Jose Antonio Gonzalez, officials said. When authorities found Gonzalez in the 2900 block of North Wilson Way on Monday, they said he gave deputies a false name and date of birth. Deputies learned Gonzalez had a $100,000 warrant for his arrest. He was found in possession of the handgun used in the robbery and a loaded .357 Magnum revolver, deputies said. Gonzalez was arrested on suspicion of robbery, being a felon in possession of a firearm, being a felon in possession of ammunition and obstructing a peace officer.
Robbery: A man approached the register to buy auto parts at a business in the 300 block of West Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at 2:42 p.m. Monday. Instead of making a purchase, the man pointed a handgun at the clerk, stole the parts and an undisclosed amount of cash, and fled north on South Monroe Street, police said. The robber was described as a Latino man 30 to 35 years old standing 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 185 pounds with black hair, a gray long-sleeve shirt and grease or a tattoo on his right cheek.
Robbery: A woman walked into a store in the 3400 block of South Manthey Road at 3:17 p.m. Monday, concealed several items in her purse and then fled through the front door, officers reported. A security guard confronted the thief in the parking lot, but the woman pointed a handgun at him and ordered him to "back off" before fleeing on foot toward South Manthey Road. The robber was described as a white or Latina woman about 20 years old standing 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighing 120 pounds with red or blonde hair, a black shirt and black pants.
The California Highway Patrol responded to 16 noninjury accidents and three injury accidents in the 24 hours ending at 8 a.m. Tuesday. CHP officers also made one felony arrest and recovered five stolen vehicles.
The Stockton Fire Department responded to 115 calls for service in the 24 hours ending at 8 a.m. Tuesday, including six vehicle accidents, 86 medical calls and one structure fire.

I'm ready to give up.
In the battle to keep what's personal to ourselves, we are unarmed. Sure, this has been going on for awhile -- websites, stores, the government; collecting every scrap of information about us whether we like it or not. Or whether we know it or not.
Which is bad. But then spreading that information around the way a drunk spreads dollar bills around the corner tavern is even worse. It's not just that our personal information -- credit card numbers, email addresses, phone numbers, PIN numbers and God knows what else, aren't solely ours anymore. It's that they are everybody else's now.
Recent news about a massive data breach at Target, one of the country's biggest retailers, has given a whole new meaning to the term "being targeted." The store has put a big red bull's-eye on many of our backs by losing track of personal information belonging to perhaps as many as 110 million customers. Anytime a retailer's systems are hacked and cyberthieves make off with data belonging to a group that could number more than one-third of the U.S. population, I think we can all agree we've got a problem.
"It's become a much more difficult job as technology advances," Paul Stephens, of the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, says of keeping track of how we're being kept track of. "It's sometimes not quite as easy to discover how our personal information is being leaked."
And so we grow anxious, suspicious and a little paranoid. A month ago I would have chuckled at those having a conniption because information giant Google (GOOG) bought Nest, the maker of sleek -- and smart -- thermostats and smoke detectors. Because the devices track our movements and behavior to better control our home environment, some have said they worry about data-happy Google tracking every move we make -- literally.
Nest has said the data that the smart devices collect will only be used to improve the company's products. But if you tend toward the chilly side and you suddenly start spotting ads for fuzzy sweaters in your Gmail box, you might want to check back with the Nest folks.
Me? I've gone through the three stages of privacy protection concern.
Stage One: How much could any entity really know about me and who cares who finds out about it?
Stage Two: They know that? And that? And they're giving it/losing it to whom?
Stage Three: The privacy war is over and we lost.
Just last week the Wall Street Journal reported on a growing field: Companies that use Wi-Fi signals from your smartphone to track your travels through a downtown or a given store, including a startup that has created dossiers "on 2 million people's habits as they have gone about their daily lives, traveling from yoga studios, to restaurants, to coffee shops, sports stadiums, hotels and nightclubs."
The real power for marketers and retailers who rely on all this data comes from combining different batches of it to create a whole you. Let's go back to the Target example and the 110 million -- give or take -- customers who lost little pieces of themselves to hackers. Of course, the company has email address, credit card numbers, debit card numbers. It also has Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, phone numbers, home addresses, checking account numbers and income figures for those who sign up for Target's own credit and debit cards.
But Target has a lot more.
"Target has probably the most sophisticated data mining program of any retailer," says Stephens, director of policy and advocacy for the San Diego-based privacy clearinghouse. In his 2012 book "The Power of Habit," Charles Duhigg writes about how Target creates Guest ID numbers for shoppers and internally keeps track of their purchases. Then it adds in other information that it collects or buys from other firms, including, Duhigg writes, "the shopper's age, whether they were married and had kids, which part of town they lived in, how long it took them to drive to the store, an estimate of how much money they earned, whether they'd moved recently, which websites they visited, the credit cards they carried in their wallet, and their home and mobile phone numbers."
No one has said yet that the cyberthieves made off with information from the Guest ID files, though when I asked, Target would not address the question directly. The retailer says its investigation is continuing. And Stephens says he's not sure consumers have heard the whole story yet.
"It's certainly entirely possible that the information that Target has data-mined could potentially be included in the breach as well," he says.
Target has said it is taking steps to guard against another major breach. And in full-page newspaper ads last week the company announced a coalition "to help educate the public on the dangers of consumer scams."
It's a nice gesture, but somehow I have a feeling that many Target customers have already learned their lesson.

Residents of this valley, you are amazing! We are still shaking our heads at the overwhelming support poured out from the people of this area.
Last week as we prepared to bury a hometown hero, Joshua Taylor, we sent out a few emails to round up a couple hundred dollars to help the "Boys in Blue" with gasoline money. Those few emails quickly turned into a community wide project with literally thousands of dollars coming in the form of gas cards, food cards, and cash. Donations from local businesses allowed us to feed and house every Marine (and some Patriot Guard Riders) while they were in town. The Marines were instructed to "take no money from their pockets" while in Marietta. One man even went so far as to leave money at a local retail store in case the boys needed toothpaste or forgot their socks! Every carload of Marines left this town with gasoline and food cards for their return trip home.
We stood and watched many of these men, some young, some seasoned veterans, try and argue with our hospitality. They were shocked and readily admitted they had never been treated this way in any town.
Well, welcome to Marietta boys!
We are so very proud to call this valley our home. Proud to be able to serve our community in ways such as this. Proud of our citizens for stepping up and giving. Proud to be able to say, "We honor Josh for his service and sacrifice."
Thanks to all who participated.
