Today's Night & Day featured event: Courting Condi dances around the truth
Don't be fooled: There is plenty of meat in Courting Condi, the unique undercover-muckraking biopic about the imaginary romance between an obsessed musician (now-adult child star Devin Ratray, best known for his role as big brother Buzz in Home Alone, who plays himself) and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Director Sebastian Doggart, who calls the project "the first musical docu-tragi-comedy ever," is a Brit who thinks Americans prefer to get their politics in the form of entertainment. So he decided to roll up all the goods on Condi in a sugar-coated Borat-style musical that mixes truth and fiction in a very clever way.
Does it work? Plenty of critics think so -- and you'll have a chance to decide for yourself when the film screens at 6:30 p.m. tonight in Davis Auditorium, Sturm Hall, 2000 E. Asbury Avenue, on the campus of Condi's alma mater, the University of Denver. After the film, Doggart will field questions from the audience; then DU professor Alan Gilbert and Colorado State Sen. Shawn Mitchell (R-23) lock horns to debate on the topic, "Should Condoleezza Rice Stand Trial for War Crimes." No stone unturned.
The free event is sponsored by Campus Progress and DU's student-run [dis]claimer Magazine. For information e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Jersey Shore's Angelina Gets Punchy With the Help
Attention, Angelina: You're taking the concept of fist-pumping way too far.
Radar Online reports that the Jersey Shore charmer punched a hired driver in the head earlier this month, after the chauffeur insulted the reality TV star's (full name: Angelina Pivarnick) mother.
According to the slighted mama herself, the punch-up went down on October 2 in Springfield, Massachusetts, following Angelina's appearance at a Big Bang Celebrity Boxing match. Annamarie Pivarnick says that the wheelman persistently hit on her despite her protests, eventually calling her a "whore" and a "slut." At which point her daughter began hitting on the driver — literally.
The elder Pivarnick says that, after the driver pulled over to argue some more, Angelina clocked him in the head and proceeded to pummel him repeatedly:
"Angelina was trying to stop this guy from being disrespectful to me. The guy took it too far."
This is far from the first report of Jersey Shore cast members settling things with their fists. Pivarnick's co-stars, Snooki and JWoww, are currently being sued by a Chicago woman over an alleged brawl in a Miami nightclub, while Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola reportedly popped a fellow nightclub patron in Miami because Giancola thought she was hitting on her boyfriend.
Maybe these kids should put their fists to more constructive use. Such as clutching the enormous piles of money they're raking in these days.

(Plummer). Elementary students in Plummer went to school in a brand new building this week thanks to some help from the State of Idaho. Today, representatives from the State Board of Education were on hand to help officially dedicate the new school.
In 2006, the Idaho Legislature established an ongoing, state-funded system for the repair or replacement of unsafe school facilities when school districts are unable to fund the projects themselves.
The act created a panel within the Office of the State Board of Education, consisting of the Administrator of the Division of Building Safety, the Administrator of the Division of Public Works and the Executive Director of the State Board of Education. In August 2009, the first gathering of the Idaho Public School Facilities Cooperative Funding Program Panel (Panel) met to start discussions regarding the Plummer-Worley school which posed an imminent safety hazard.
The project to build the new Lakeside Elementary School in Plummer got underway in March 2010 when a consultant was hired by the State Board to serve as District Supervisor to oversee the project. The project incorporated state best practices including development of education specifications, value engineering, constructability review and commissioning to improve quality and reduce cost.
State Board of Education member Don Soltman who attended the dedication said, This project provided a great test case for this approach to funding school facility needs. Plummers new Lakeside Elementary is opening on schedule and under budget.

This beautiful
Seated Nymph
is the work of Pier Jacopo Alari-Bonacolsi, one of the earliest and most gifted creators of small bronzes in the Renaissance. His emulation of classical forms and his work as a restorer of ancient statues earned him the nickname "L'Antico." This emulation of the antique extended to his casting and finishing techniques: the nymph and its base are cast in "true bronze" (copper with the addition of tin), an ancient practice known to Renaissance artists through surviving texts. The original black patina, worn by centuries of handling and now visible only in the recesses and around the nymph's nose and mouth, also reflects the qualities of antique bronzes, as does the use of precious metals.
Seated Nymph
was probably executed for Isabella d'Este (1474–1539), marchioness of Mantua, an avid and discerning collector of her day. Antico was attached to her court for most of his career and his creations reflect the refined, classicizing culture it nurtured.

Iemma backs charges against parents
Page Tools
Premier Morris Iemma has indicated his support for commonwealth anti-terrorism laws that leave parents vulnerable to charges for sharing information with their spouse.
Under the federal government's anti-terror proposal, a parent who is told that their child is being held under the laws reportedly faces five years jail if they shared that knowledge with their partner.
Asked today whether he supported the law, Mr Iemma said "I support the detention orders".
"I went to Canberra ... to support in principle the proposals that were put and to have in place a regime of safeguards and accountability," the premier told reporters in Sydney.
He said he believed the penalty for the crime could be reduced from five to two years.
"It is a proposal (and) they're not near finalisation," Mr Iemma said.
"The latest advice I have is that they are considering a proposal to go from five to two (years)."
He said the Commonwealth had not asked the states to replicate these specific laws, which provide special conditions for detaining those aged between 16 and 18.
Under the laws, a role is created for one parent or guardian in the detention process.
That parent would be allowed up to two hours' daily contact, with detention lasting up to two weeks, and any conversation between the parent and the child would be monitored by the federal police.
However, if the parent told their wife or husband that the child had been detained as a terrorist suspect they would face jail.
Mr Iemma said of the Commonwealth's "extraordinary" anti-terror powers had aspects that were "draconian".
"But the ... detention orders and the other measures that we agreed to at COAG is what NSW and ... the other states ... will legislate."
However, he reiterated his concern about the use of force provision which would allow police to shoot-to-kill when acting under a preventative detention order.

Combining contemporary political philosophy with historical, literary, and philosophical texts, this study examines a series of remarkable individuals who promoted justice in early Iron Age, archaic, and classical Greece. From the earlier periods, Homer's Achilles and Odysseus were represented as heroic individuals who are also prototypical citizens, and Solon the lawgiver, wrote the scripts of statute law and the jury trial. The book's focus later turns to dialogues between a citizen's moral autonomy and political obligation in democratic Athens.

George Foster's research and teaching includes entrepreneurship/early-stage companies; financial analysis, especially in commercial disputes; and sports business management. His recent research includes asset creation and destruction, global entrepreneurship, and the role of financial and other systems in the growth and valuation of companies. He also is researching globalization challenges facing both sporting organizations and companies.
"... ... in the long run there are profund changes in peoples behaviour"
When I first talked to Entrepreneurship Professor Julio de Castro back in July about shooting this video, he was very enthusiastic until the moment I mentioned the yips. Nobody talks about that, he said, it's just bad luck. Well, after a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, he finally agreed to do it.
Yips or the yips is the loss of fine motor skills without apparent explanation in one of a number of different sports. Athletes affected by the yips demonstrate a sudden, unexplained loss of previous skills.
In golf, the yips is a movement disorder that most-commonly interferes with putting. The term yips is said to have been popularized by Tommy Armour—a golf champion and later a golf teacher—to explain the difficulties that led him to abandon tournament play. The technical term is focal dystonia.
Check out what Prof. de Castro has to say about yips, golf, and entrepreneurs.
In this video IE Professors of Strategic Management, Marketing, Finance, HR, Law and Leadership talk briefly about their field of research while boxing, jogging, or flying in a balloon or in a helicopter… One of them even confesses that the best leadership professor she ever had was Geranio, the horse that she rides. Enjoy!!!
In this video IE Professors of Entrepreneurship, Operations Management, Information Systems, Liberal Arts & Economy talk briefly about their field of research while parachuting, singing, bunjee-jumping or simply by telling a story or asking a question… One of them even confesses that there are no truths only myths!!!

Sinus Rescue®
All natural, ionic silver nasal spray
Sinus Rescue coats the nasal passages with a solution of uncompounded ionic silver and distilled water. This results in an even reduction of the bacteria causing the infection, allowing the body's own defense system to re-establish control in the region. Sinus Rescue can terminate a blooming infection, typically within 48-72 hours of use. This approach to sinus infection management yields a highly effective alternative to conventional antibiotic therapy. It is a safe, long-term means for controlling sinus infections and chronic sinusitis. Sinus Rescue does not encourage antibiotic resistance and thus remains effective year after year.
Normal mucosal flow flushes the anti-microbial silver agent away from the site of the infection. It is crucial to replenish the supply of active agent frequently (approx every 15-30 minutes) to maintain an effective germ-killing concentration. Begin using Sinus Rescue at the first sign of illness. It can also be used preventatively whenever exposed to bacteria or illness.

WALDEN-L ArchivesArchiver > WALDEN > 1999-08 > 0933638626
From: "karlton douglas" <>
Subject: [WALDEN-L] Wallen/Walling geneology
Date: Mon, 2 Aug 1999 20:03:46 -0400
This is trascribed from the book "A Wallen/Walling Genealogy" by Wilder &
Wilder. I don't have the book, I have photocopies relating to my family,
sent to me by a kind researcher who had access to the book. I was told it is
out of print.
Pg. 463
James Walding left his will in Madison County, Kentucky. It was dated 8
February 1796 and probated 5 July 1796.
The following were heirs mentioned:
wife - Anne
son - Benjamin
daughter - Elizabeth Chisum
sons - James, Jesse, William
and "all my children"
executors: William Walding, Jno. Reed, and Joel Short.
(Julia Spencer Ardery, KENTUCKY COURT AND OTHER RECORDS Vol. II, p. 69)
James Walding (Walden, Walling) of Pittsylvania County, Virginia had
patented land in Tennessee in 1775 although no description of the land was
given. Others from Pittsylvania who patented land in Tennessee in 1775 were:
George Russell, Andrew Greer, Wm. Bean Jr., Benjamin Pyburn, Christopher
Shoate, James Walding (Walden, Walling) ; John Bean, Thomas Gresham, Richard
Bennette, Elijah Robertson, brother of James, and George Gray. (Samuel Cole
Williams, DAWN OF THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND TENNESSEE HISTORY - Johnson City,
TN: The Watauga Press, 1937 - p. 435)
The marriage records of Lincoln County, Kentucky (p. 108) show: Elisha
Chisum and Elizabeth Walden - 30 January 1787.
The 1800 Tax List of Kentucky does not list any Wallen taxpayer in
Madison County; however, there is WILLIAM WALLIN, SR. who paid taxes in
Garrard County on 6 August 1800. (Garrard County was formed from Madison
County in 1796.) Perhaps, William Wallin, Sr. was the same person who had
been the administrator of his father's estate in 1796.
The Benjamin Walden family was enumerated in the Madison County,
Kentucky Census of - 1810. It is probably that the head of this household
was the son, Benjamin, mentioned in the will of James Walding.
1810 Census - Madison County, Kentucky (p. 241)
The Bible record of the Benjamin and Baalza Walden family was handed
down from one generation to another and, finaly, included in a family
history written by Matilda (Walden) Ausmus (1887-p1938).
"I wrote this for future generations," she said.
The manuscript is on file in the State Archives of Tennessee, Nashville.
The Bible record provides dates of birth for the children of Benjamin
and Baalza Walden as Follows:
WALDEN, Sarah b. 11 Jan 1793.
WALDEN, Elizabeth b. 7 jul 1794.
WALDEN, Dolly b. 20 nov 1796.
WALDEN, James b. 7 Jan 1788 [ 1798?}
WALDEN, Robert b. 13 Jan 1800.
WALDEN, Baalza b. 14 Jan 1802
WALDEN, William b. 9 Mar 1804
WALDEN, George b. Nov 1806
WALDEN, John b. Oct
In a note concerning this portion of the Bible record, Mrs. Ausmus
commented, 'There could have been more children; however, the record ends as
written above.'
From this Bible record, it is a simple matter to name the children
who were enumerated in the 1810 Census of Madison County, Kentucky;
3 M 00-10 [Robert, William, George}
1 M 10-16 [ James ]
1 F 00-10 [ Baalza]
2 F 10-16 [ Dolly, Elizabeth ]
1 F 16-26 [ Sarah]
1 F 26-45 [ Baalza, mother ]
End Transcription.
The book goes on to the 1820 Whitley County, Ky. census with the
Benjamin Walden family, and then to Campbell Co. Tn. where my ancestors
ended up.

Zhang Yimou Previews 'The Flowers of War'
Twenty minutes of footage from "Raise the Red Lantern" director Zhang Yimou's latest film was screened for prominent U.S. film distributors and the media at the Toronto International Film Festival Friday morning.
"The Flowers of War," a World War II drama whose working title was "Heroes of Nanking," stars Christian Bale as an American caught in the former Chinese capital amidst the infamous "Rape of Nanking" by the Japanese Imperial Army, in 1937. The American becomes an unlikely savior for two very different groups trapped in a Catholic church: a bevy of young schoolgirls and 13 notorious courtesans. Speakeasy has more.

Elizabeth Simmons-Oneill
Seattle Campus
Writing papers communicating information and opinion to develop accurate, competent, and effective expression.
Class description
In this course students will work individually and in groups to research Seattle communities such as Capitol Hill, the Chinatown/International District, the Central District and the Pike Market neighborhood. Instructors and UW librarians will train students in a variety of research methods, including observation, census data, local history, local and regional newspapers, web sites and interviews. Students will write in a range of genres: field notes, individual research reports, and group projects. Students will receive frequent peer and instructor feedback on their written work. Groups will present their preliminary conclusions during an in-class Research Conference. The course concludes with reflection on what students have learned and on how their writing in this class transfers to other writing occasions. The design and topic of this course accommodate a broad range of disciplinary approaches to understanding urban communities.
Student learning goals
General method of instruction
Recommended preparation
While 281 has no formal prerequisite, this is an intermediate writing course, and instructors expect entering students to know how to formulate claims, integrate evidence, demonstrate awareness of audience, and structure coherent sentences, paragraphs and essays. Thus we strongly encourage students to complete a Composition course in the Interdisciplinary Writing Program or Expository Writing Program before enrolling in English 281.

Hardware devices can be protected against side-channel attacks by introducing one random mask per sensitive variable.
The computation throughout is unaltered if the shares (masked variable and mask) are processed concomitantly, in two distinct registers.
Nonetheless, this setup can be attacked by a zero-offset second-order CPA attack.
The countermeasure can be improved by manipulating the mask through a bijection $F$,
aimed at reducing the dependency between the shares.
Thus $d$th-order zero-offset attacks, that consist in applying CPA on the $d$th power of the centered side-channel traces,
can be thwarted for $d \\geq 2$ at no extra cost.
We denote by $n$ the size in bits of the shares and call $F$ the transformation function,
that is a bijection of $\\mathbb{F}_2^n$.
In this paper, we explore the functions $F$ that thwart zero-offset HO-CPA of maximal order $d$.
We mathematically demonstrate that optimal choices for $F$ relate to optimal binary codes (in the sense of communication theory).
First, we exhibit optimal linear $F$ functions.
Second, we note that for values of $n$ for which non-linear codes exist with better parameters than linear ones.
These results are exemplified in the case $n=8$, the optimal $F$ can be identified:
it is derived from the optimal rate~$1/2$ binary code of size $2n$, namely the Nordstrom-Robinson $(16, 256, 6)$ code.
This example provides explicitly with the optimal protection that limits to one mask of byte-oriented algorithms such as AES or AES-based SHA-3 candidates.
It protects against all zero-offset HO-CPA attacks of order $d \\leq 5$.
Eventually, the countermeasure is shown to be resilient to imperfect leakage models.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Seven communities of Dominican sisters formally merged April 12 to form a new congregation called the Dominican Sisters of Peace.
The congregation will be based in Columbus, Ohio, home to the former Dominican Sisters of St. Mary of the Springs, one of the founding communities.
The sisters gathered April 14 for a ceremony in St. Louis to formalize the merger.
"There is a great sense of hope, great energy and great commitment to the mission" among the 265 sisters who gathered in St. Louis, said Sr. Joan Scanlon, who has been elected to the new congregation's leadership council. Her community was the Dominican Sisters of St. Catharine, Ky.
"It is very historic when seven congregations have ended and committed to come together," she told The Record, newspaper of the Archdiocese of Louisville. "We have hundreds of years of ministry behind us."
The new congregation is comprised of Dominican communities from five states.
In addition to the 187-year-old St. Catharine community and the Columbus Dominicans, it is made up of the Dominican Congregation of St. Rose of Lima in Oxford, Mich.; the Dominican Sisters, Congregation of Mary, and the Eucharistic Missionaries of St. Dominic, both of New Orleans; the Dominican Sisters of Great Bend, Kan.; and the Sisters of St. Dominic of Akron, Ohio.
The Dominican Sisters of Peace has about 650 sisters serving in 29 states and in Honduras, Nigeria, Peru, Tanzania and Vietnam. The congregation also has about 500 associates -- lay men and women who are partners in ministry with the sisters.
More than a third of the Dominican Sisters of Peace attended the first chapter meeting April 15-21 in St. Louis to elect leaders and articulate their mission.
Sr. Margaret Ormond, formerly of St. Mary of the Springs in Columbus, was elected prioress during an April 19 election. Other sisters were elected to serve as councilors. They will take office Aug. 8 on the feast of St. Dominic.
In the meantime, the former leaders of the founding communities have formed a transition team, said Sr. Joye Gros, who was president of the St. Catharine community during the formation of the new congregation.
She said the congregation's leadership will work in central offices located in Columbus. Campus buildings at St. Catharine College, near Springfield, Ky., will also host some offices. Each of the motherhouses belonging to the founding communities will remain in use because sisters are living there.
In determining how the new congregation will serve the church, the sisters pledged to devote themselves to studying Scripture, promoting nonviolence and justice, and creating welcoming communities.
Sr. Scanlon said the work of the newly formed congregation will focus primarily on the Dominican charism "to preach the truth."
"The call to preach the truth and give to others the fruits of our contemplation are at the heart of our Dominican life," she said.

MORELIA, Mexico (AP) — A second Mexican polling firm reported three workers missing Tuesday in a western state plagued by drug violence, two days after six workers from a survey company vanished from the same place.
The nine disappearances in an area of Michoacan state considered a stronghold of warring drug cartels are being treated as kidnappings, according to a Michoacan state government spokesman who was not authorized to be quoted by name.
They also raise concerns that drug violence could interfere with the state's Nov. 13 gubernatorial election and possibly Mexico's 2012 presidential race as well.
"What are we going to do with our poll watchers? What are we going to with the precinct workers?" said Fausto Vallejo, the gubernatorial candidate for the former ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party in Michoacan.
He called on the state and federal governments to step up security measures for the elections, especially for mayoral and congressional candidates, who are believed to be more vulnerable because they live and campaign in rural areas where the cartels are active.
Federal and state police used a helicopter and patrol vehicles to search the area near the city of Apatzingan where all nine workers disappeared, but found no trace as of Tuesday afternoon. Three missing from the firm, Parametria, were last known to be in the hamlet of La Cofradia, the same area where six employees of Consulta Mitofsky went missing on Saturday.
Parametria was conducting what's known as a "mirror" poll to the data Mitofsky had already collected for the upcoming state elections.
Neither company would say who had contracted the poll.
The companies held out hopes the employees could be lost in the rural dirt roads of the area, though as time passed it seemed less likely.
Parametria said in a statement that it had done polling work in Apatzingan "without incidents, so that the disappearance of the polling personnel is an unusual event."
Two of its workers arrived in Cofradia Monday to interview potential voters. A supervisor went to pick them up, and all three disappeared.
The six Mitofsky pollsters were part of a team of about three dozen who arrived in Michoacan last week to conduct polls.
Three of the workers, who normally conduct interviews with potential voters in their homes, failed to return to their hotel in Apatzingan on Saturday. Three colleagues who set out to look for them also disappeared, the prosecutor's spokesman said.
Mitofsky workers in the field usually wear hats and shirts with the company name, as well as an ID badge, said an employee who asked not to be identified because he wasn't authorized to speak to the press. Workers do not identify their clients when polling people but do identify themselves as working for Mitofsky, he added.
Mitofsky also has a policy of having workers contact superiors at regular intervals to report their location.
Jorge Buendia, director of Mexico's Buendia and Laredo polling firm, said his company is canceling plans for on-the-ground polling for the Michoacan elections until it knows more about what happened.
Rather than being targeted for their work, Buendia said pollsters can run into danger from criminals who mistake them for rival gang members or from locals steeped in "paranoia" about outsiders.
"What's important is to guarantee the security of the pollsters. Until we know really well what is happening, prudence is preferable," Buendia said.
Federal Security spokesman Alejandro Poire said the government has offered help to state authorities in investigating the disappearances and has been in touch with Mitofsky president Roy Campos, who runs one of Mexico's most prominent polling firms.
"It's a case the emphasizes the need to speed up the mechanisms we have for fighting crimes like kidnapping ... particularly in this area of the country," Poire told reporters Tuesday before the other three were reported missing.
The area is known as stronghold for two Michoacan-based drug cartels, La Familia and The Knights Templar, which have fought police, each other and other gangs.
President Felipe Calderon launched his crackdown on organized crime by sending army troops to battle the cartels soon after taking office in December 2006. More than 35,000 people have died in drug violence since then, according to government figures. Some groups put the number higher than 40,000.
Calderon's sister, former Sen. Luisa Maria Calderon, is running for governor of the state as a candidate with the president's conservative National Action Party.
While Mexican drug cartels have not previously targeted polling places, pollsters or poll workers, they have been blamed in the killings of candidates and elected officials.
Last year, gunmen believed to be working for a drug cartel assassinated Rodolfo Torre, the leading candidate for governor in the border state of Tamaulipas, where the Gulf and Zetas drug cartels are engaged in bloody turf battles. But there have seldom been attacks against polling firms or voting officials in Mexican elections.
Maria de los Angeles Llanderal Zaragoza, president of the state elections commission in Michoacan, said she told her 2,000 employees in 117 offices around the state to be careful, but they are continuing their work.
"We're being careful with our people in the institution," she said, "but so far fortunately we haven't had any incidents."

Staff at a Surbiton pub are hoping a "transformational" refurbishment will prove a hit with customers old and new.
The Prince of Wales in Ewell Road, formally the New Prince, will re-open later today after a three-week revamp - just in time for the first game of the World Cup.
Pub owner Fullers brewery has invested hundreds of thousands of pounds into the project, which has seen the premises undergo a dramatic makeover, as well as a new recruitment drive.
The pub kitchen has also been renovated, with a professional team of chefs serving food all day for the first time.
A grand opening will be held at the pub tonight from 6pm.
Assistant manager Natasha Rosario, who has worked at the pub for almost three years, said: "It's gone extremely well.
"The pub looks fantastic - I can't even begin to describe the change.
"They have done an amazing job and made everything 10 times better. It's transformational.
"We've all tried the food and it is exceptional. It's fresh, seasonal, exciting and not too heavy on the palate or stomach. We have a great kitchen team.
"We now have 10 members of staff and they are all brilliant. I can't fault them. They take direction really well, all have great banter and personalities. It's been a really good selection.
"I've had regulars phoning me up asking when we're re-opening, and I'm really looking forward to welcoming them back."
The pub, which previously attracted an older, predominantly male crowd, is hoping its new image will attract more families during the day.
With that in mind, a family open day will be held this Saturday, featuring games, giant Jenga and skittles in the pub garden.

Runners, residents with Sewickley Valley ties describe scene of Boston explosions
John Paul suffered a running injury around mile 10 and never made it to the finish line near Copley Square.
His daughter, Caroline, was stopped with five miles left to run.
Emily Kobak was standing outside of Fenway Park when she heard explosions happen about one mile from her.
They were among dozens of Western Pennsylvanians who had close encounters on Monday as two explosions detonated near the finish line of the 117th Boston Marathon.
"We heard the two explosions and didn't think much of it at first," said Kobak, 30, who grew up in Moon.
"Then we started getting text messages, asking us if we were OK. We overheard someone in line say there was an explosion. We didn't think it was a bomb."
Kobak, who now lives in Waltham, Mass., was leaving a Boston Red Sox game, heading toward a nearby restaurant when the explosions happened just before 3 p.m. Monday.
"The area around Fenway Park wasn't as panic-stricken as it was near the finish line, but people definitely were scared," Kobak said.
Police stopped thousands of runners on a bridge about five miles from the finish line after the blasts, said Paul, 58, of Edgeworth, whose daughter, Caroline, was among those stopped.
"This occurred well after the elite" runners would have finished, Paul said.
"This was when the average-Joe runners would have been getting to the finish line."
Paul was running the race with his daughter for the third time, but had to drop out after 10 miles because of a hip injury.
Paul was one of eight runners in the Sewickley and Moon areas to participate in Monday's marathon.
Kobak, who said she was in the Boylston Street area Monday morning, called the attack an "eye-opening experience.
"I know the streets. I know the area. It's unbelievable.
"For something to happen on such a positive day, it's just a tragedy."

My holding period is forever, as long as the dividend is at least maintained. I tend to concentrate my efforts on stocks which grow earnings and dividends, which provides outstanding total returns over time. I only focus my attention to stocks with sustainable dividend payments. I am also a firm believer in diversification accross sectors and geographic locations. I have been focusing my attention particularly to companies that regularly increase dividends to their shareholders since 2007. On my blog I share my thoughts on investing in dividend paying stocks that have consistently increased their payments over time and tips on growing my dividend income. I hope that my blog will serve as an inspiration for my readers and that it would change their financial lives for the better.

The $8 million earmark was in an omnibus appropriations bill that died due to lack of support from Senate Republicans, who had threatened to mount a filibuster to stop it.
"When the Omnibus died, the $8 million I was proud to secure for Hangar One died with it," Eshoo said in an e-mail Friday.
The defense appropriation, originally set at $10 million, had passed through a congressional defense subcommittee and was eagerly awaited by the community, where elected officials have overwhelmingly supported Hangar One's restoration. A fight to save the historic structure has been going on for over five years.
The Depression-era airship hangar has been caught in a wave of "anti-earmark" anger on the part of Republicans, said Lenny Siegel, an advocate for the preservation of Hangar One.
NASA, which took ownership of Hangar One from the Navy in 1994, has promised $20 million in funding to restore it, but the space agency was counting on the $8 million request to provide the last bit of funding needed. NASA's $20 million will not be enough to re-skin Hangar One, Siegel said.
Eshoo, however, remained optimistic.
"What encourages me is that (NASA) Administrator Bolden has given his commitment to me that he will preserve Hangar One," Eshoo wrote. "He has the authority to allocate NASA funds for the purpose of re-skinning."
NASA's official statement on the matter came from spokeswoman Rachel Hoover via e-mail: "Congresswoman Eshoo has been a staunch supporter on Hangar One, and NASA will continue to work with her on this issue. However, the lack of congressionally directed funding for this project makes this more of a challenge."
The Navy has already demolished much of Hangar One's internal structures in recent weeks as part of its obligation to clean up asbestos, PCBs and lead paint. The Navy is set to remove Hangar One's laminate Galbestos siding this spring.
Siegel said an effort is under way to raise funds to preserve the hangar's unique windows, which could cost $1.2 million to save. Some of the windows are corrugated and may not be replaceable. For more on that effort, visit airandspacewest.org.
