Keene political activist: Remember the Nashua ducks with vigilBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
February 19. 2014 9:23PM
NASHUA — A political activist from Keene has organized a candlelight vigil to recognize the five ducks that were killed outside of a city hotel this past December.
Although the event is not officially part of the New Hampshire Liberty Forum, it will coincide with the three-day conference being held this weekend at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
"These ducks have brought joy to thousands of people who visit the Crowne Plaza. Why shouldn't we mourn their loss?" said Keith Carlsen, organizer of the short, informal memorial service that will begin at 11 a.m. on Sunday outside of the hotel where the ducks were run over.
Sunday will represent the two-month anniversary of the tragedy, said Carlsen, an ideal time to peacefully recognize the fallen ducks.
State Rep. David Campbell, D-Nashua, has repeatedly apologized for running over the ducks with his car after having a few drinks on Dec. 23 at the Crowne Plaza. Campbell maintains that he was not intoxicated when he killed the ducks; police investigated and charged him with the illegal taking of waterfowl.
Although Campbell paid a fine of $620 for the violation, along with a $75 restitution payment and a donation of $695 to New Hampshire Audubon, the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office is reviewing the details of the case and at least one city official maintains that Campbell should step down from his House position.
Meanwhile, Thomas Pappas, chairman of the Nashua Police Commission, resigned earlier this month because of his involvement in the matter. Pappas picked Campbell up the night of the accident and later called police on Campbell's behalf, asking if his friend could come into the station the following day.
Carlsen, the New Hampshire state chairman for Young Americans for Liberty and the 2009 New Hampshire Liberty Alliance Activist of the Year, says he will withhold commenting on the politics of the case until the attorney general's investigation is concluded.
He is hopeful the state agency will take its time thoroughly looking into the circumstances of the accident considering five innocent ducks were killed.
According to Carlsen, many people have come to love and appreciate the ducks that congregate outside of the city hotel. He does not blame hotel management for the accident, but actually credits its employees for handling the matter appropriately.
"This event is not about the publicity, it is about taking a few minutes to reflect on what happened that night," he said. "People may think twice about drinking and driving."
Carlsen expects to deliver a short speech and offer a moment of silence while lighting five candles representing the five ducks.
Campbell, who is currently serving his seventh term in the House and serves as chairman of the Capital Budget Overview Committee and the Long Range Capital Planning and Utilization Committee, was not charged with drunken driving for the incident.
Following the accident, Campbell said in a written statement: "I continue to be extremely sorry and take full responsibility for causing the death of five ducks. … My actions were unintentional, yet hurtful. … I apologize and ask forgiveness from those I have offended, and from others that may judge me solely on the basis of this very unfortunate accident."
Since Pappas' resignation on Feb. 5, Campbell has not returned phone calls or emails from the Union Leader seeking comment.

The Xbox 360 has passed the Wii in total sales in the UK, according to VGChartz. The Xbox 360 became the number one bestselling home console for the seventh generation in the UK for the week ending March 30.
I can't say I am surprised by this. But lets be a bit fair here. For Nintendo, the Wii is a dead platform so do they really care if a hardware device they are no longer supporting is finally passed by in sales?
And while definitely a feather in the hat for MS, I am pretty sure MS at this point isn't focused on Wii comparisons but rather they are far more interested in comparisons to what they deem their real competitor, Sony.
Not a headline I expected to read.. can't imagine Wii will overtake again.
Lets see if the Xbox 360 can overtake the Virtual Boy sales in Japan next.

New trails are great but may be slow in coming
Sarasota County commissioners last week approved spending $75,000 to study the feasibility of extending the 10.6-mile Legacy Trail another 10 miles north into the city of Sarasota. Others in South County are working on ways to connect North Port with the trail in Venice.
Wonderful ideas. Non motorized trails for biking, jogging and walking are extremely attractive community amenities.

Harvard repeated a unique feat this fall, as the Crimson men and women's soccer teams each claimed the Ancient Eight crown, marking the first conference sweep for the Crimson in soccer since 1996. This rare achievement has only been accomplished four times prior to this season by Brown in 1994, Harvard in 1996, Princeton in 2001 and Yale in 2005.
The Crimson, who advanced to the round of 32 last season, opened the 2009 campaign winning six straight contests, including victories over local rivals Boston College and Boston University. The Crimson, which reached as high as No. 6 in the national polls this fall, tying the program's highest ever ranking, was one of five unbeaten teams in the nation heading into a key non-conference matchup at No. 3 Wake Forest Sept. 26. The Crimson and Demon Deacons played a defensive battle, but Harvard came out on the wrong side of a 1-0 loss. However, the team's goals remained in front of them entering its Ivy slate.
Harvard visited archrival Yale Oct. 3, and after nearly 103 minutes of scoreless action, rookie Brian Rogers lifted the Crimson to a sudden victory, netting the game-winner in Harvard's 1-0 win. The Crimson moved to 8-1 overall after topping Holy Cross, 2-0, Oct .7, and then made a trip to Ithaca, N.Y., to face Cornell three days later. The Big Red got on the scoreboard early and held on to a 1-0 lead until 76:28, when Alex Chi finished a cross pass from teammate Adam Rousmaniere, helping Harvard earn a 1-1 tie. Picking up one point at Cornell would prove dividends later in the season, especially after the Crimson edged No. 15 Brown, 1-0, at Ohiri Field Oct. 17, as Harvard remained in contention in the Ancient Eight with a 2-0-1 conference record.
After an overtime loss to Princeton, Harvard rebounded in a must-win game against No. 21 Dartmouth Oct. 31. Standout defender Kwaku Nyamekye tallied one of the biggest goals of the season at the 4:42 mark, finishing off a volley to give Harvard a 1-0 lead. After the Big Green tied the game in the 56th minute, Brian Grimm made a clean pass to Andre Akpan, who dribbled the end line before fitting a shot into the right side of the netting at 62:43. The Crimson went on to win the game, 2-1, and moved into first place with a 3-1-1 mark.
Harvard concluded the road portion of its Ivy League schedule at Columbia Nov. 7, as Harvard owned a slim, one-point lead over Brown and Dartmouth in the Ancient Eight standings. The Crimson once again came out on the right end of a close contest, as Chi notched the game-winning goal in the fifth minute of overtime, enabling Harvard to keep pace with the Bears and Big Green. In the final game of the regular season against Penn Nov. 15, Harvard broke through at 67:26, as Tim Linden placed a cross pass to freshman defender Richard Smith, who kicked the ball into the goal for the first tally of his career. Smith's goal stood up for the game-winner in Harvard's 1-0 win, as the Crimson clinched the Ivy championship on home turf, finishing the regular season with a 5-1-1 conference record.
"We dedicated ourselves to winning the league and making the tournament again this season," said Jamie Clark, The Virginia B. and James O. Welch, Jr. '52 Head Coach for Harvard Men's Soccer. " For the seniors, who won the title as freshmen, their experience helped get us through very close games this fall."
Harvard earned the No. 10 overall seed in the NCAA tournament, allowing the Crimson to earn a bye. In turn, Harvard hosted Monmouth in a second-round matchup Nov. 22. The Hawks entered the game with the nation's second best scoring defense, but Harvard struck three times, as Smith, Akpan and Rousmaniere each netted goals in a 3-0 Harvard victory. Akpan's goal tied the senior co-captain for first on Harvard's career goals list with Chris Ohiri '64 with 47 tallies. Akpan already owned Harvard's record for points with 127 and assists with 33. The win over Monmouth advanced the Crimson to the third round of the tournament, the furthest the program has advanced since reaching the semifinals in 1987. The Crimson fell to Maryland, the defending national champion, 2-0, in the Sweet 16, but the defeat could not take away from the success of the program this fall.
Several members of the men's were rewarded for their significant effort this season, both on and off the field, with a variety season-ending awards.
Akpan, an Academic All-Ivy League choice, and Rogers were honored as the Ivy League Player and Rookie of the Year, respectively, as Akpan joined Nyamekye as unanimous selections to the All-Ivy first team. With his late season heroics, Smith earned a spot on the all-conference second team, joining Brian Grimm and Rogers on the squad. Chi rounded out the Harvard selections, garnering honorable mention. Akpan was also tabbed to the NSCAA All-America first team and became the first Harvard player to be named a finalist for the Missouri Athletic Club's Hermann Trophy. Akpan, Nyamekye and Rogers also each earned sports on the NSCAA All-Northeast Region team.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Authorities in eastern Idaho are investigating the shooting deaths of two men and a woman whose bodies were found in a home that contained a marijuana grow operation.
The deaths took place sometime between Thursday afternoon and evening by someone who had some type of relationship with the victims, the Oneida County Sheriff's Office said. The bodies were discovered Friday outside Holbrook, a town of about 400 people just north of the Idaho-Utah state line.
Authorities said a 2-month-old was found under the arm of one of the victims — 27-year-old Yavette Chivon Carter. A 2-year-old was also found unharmed and both children have been turned over to relatives.
About 70 pit bulls were also found. Police said the dogs were being raised for sale and for fighting.
The other two victims were identified Saturday as 61-year-old Brent L. Christensen and 32-year-old Trent Jon Christensen. Oneida County Sheriff Jeff Semrad told the Idaho State Journal the victims are a father, his son and the son's girlfriend.
Sheriff's officials were looking to contact people who attended a party at the home on March 31.

SQL Server backups are useless if you can't recover them. Backups are simply big disk files unless you have a recovery mechanism that puts those bits back into SQL Server when you need them. So when was the last time you tested your restore strategy? I'm not asking whether you've performed a backup and run the RESTORE command manually to see whether the media is valid. I'm asking whether you've tested your restore methodology to make sure it works the way you think it does. Can you get your production database back up and running after a disaster? You must have a planned and tested restore methodology to be sure.
Two weeks ago at SQL Server Magazine Connections in Orlando, Florida, I sat in on Kimberly Tripp's talk about SQL Server backup and restore. Kimberly presented a number of interesting tips, but her fundamental backup tenet is that the backup is useless without the ability to restore it. And you don't know that you can restore your backup unless you've fully tested your plan.
I suspect that many of you don't have a well-tested backup and recovery plan. Testing backup and recovery plans can be difficult, especially if you don't have the hardware resources to do a complete dry run of a failure and recovery. For example, properly testing your restore methodology is hard to do if your production system is a one-tier warehouse and you don't have a test server of equal capacity. But budgeting for adequate testing and quality assurance equipment should be a non-negotiable part of an efficient data center. If you haven't planned how to recover your data and tested that plan, when a true disaster happens, you're asking for trouble.
If you haven't tested your backup and recovery plan, your backups might not be as valuable as you think they are. Backing up is easy; getting the data back can be the hard part.

Vasquez Nets 1,000th Career Point, Gobrecht Records 500th Career Victory
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Chris Gobrecht, the Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954, Head Coach of Women's Basketball at Yale University pointed to junior guard Megan Vasquez as a major factor in her recent success at Yale, so it makes sense that both reached historic milestones in their careers on the same night.
Vasquez matched her career-high with 25 points, becoming the 17th player in Yale's history to surpass 1,000 career points, to lead the Bulldogs to a 86-73 win over Cornell at John J. Lee Amphitheater Friday night.
The victory was the 500th of Gobrecht's 32-year coaching career.
"To me personally, that's meaningful that we both got the milestones in the same game because Megan has had a lot to do with the last bunch of wins, that's for sure, and I thought she played superbly tonight," Gobrecht said. "I'm glad it happened for both of us. I kind of had a feeling that if it was going to happen for me, it would happen for her too because I needed her help to get there."
Following the final buzzer, the Yale players celebrated Gobrecht's accomplishment by dumping water over her head. It was not quite the type of celebration that fans would see after a football win, with the big bucket of ice water, but inside the Lee Amphitheater, this was as close to that as the Bulldogs could get.
"I am so happy for both of them," senior captain Michelle Cashen said. "I think it makes it that much more special that they both reached their milestones tonight in the same game. It definitely makes the evening much more special. We have two celebrations, and I don't think either one of them could have asked for a better way to do it."
Vasquez scored 16 of her 25 points in a dominating first half by Yale, who improved to 13-8 overall and 5-2 in the Ivy League with the victory. The Bulldogs were firing all cylinders, especially from long distance, shooting 10-for-19 (52.6 percent) from 3-point range, to open up a 41-25 lead at halftime. Vasquez was 4-for-6 from 3-point range in the first half to help fuel the Bulldogs' initial offensive outburst.
It was the seventh 20-point outing of the season for Vasquez. She now has 12 games with 20 or more points in her career. Yale's leading scorer in each of her three seasons, Vasquez has averaged 344 points per season so far. If she continues at that pace, she would finish in sixth place on Yale's all-time scoring list with 1,376 career points. The last Yale player to reach the 1,000-point milestone was Melissa Colborne, who passed the mark on Jan. 23, 2009, in a 71-37 win over Brown.
"I just came into the game ready to play. I didn't care about getting the 20 points, but my shot was just falling and I kept shooting," Vasquez said. "We knew they were going to play a zone defense and we knew we had to spread things out and attack the gaps. Every time we attacked the gaps, we were able to kick it back out for the open shot."
Vazquez wasn't the only Bulldog to have a career night in the victory. Junior guard Aarica West matched a career-high with 10 assists, including nine in the first half alone. Sophomore guard Janna Graf added 14 points and four rebounds, while junior guard Allie Messimer scored 12 points. Senior captain Michelle Cashen scored seven points and pulled down a game-high nine rebounds.
Spencer Lane scored 18 points to lead Cornell (9-11, 3-3 Ivy League). Clare Fitzpatrick added 14 points.
Even with the offense firing on all cylinders, the Bulldogs could not completely shake the Big Red, no matter how hard it tried.
Yale used an 8-0 run to open up a 22-10 lead with 12:57 left in the first half, but Cornell managed to trim that deficit to just six points over the next seven minutes, pulling to within 25-19 on Fitzpatrick's layup with 5:48 left. That was as close as Cornell would get for the remainder of the game. Yale outscored Cornell 16-6 through the remainder of the half behind eight points from Graf and five from Vasquez to go into the halftime break leading 41-25.
The Bulldogs never let the lead dip into single digits the rest of the way.
A pair of free throws by Lane helped Cornell cut the deficit to 12 points, 49-37, with 15:03 left, but Yale went on a 19-8 run to jump out to its biggest lead of the game, 68-45, with 7:43 left. That didn't deter the Big Red, however, which managed to get as close as 11 points with 2:59 left thanks to a 17-5 run. Despite several attempts over the final minutes, Cornell could get no closer than that.
"Cornell is a team that doesn't go away, that's for sure," Cashen said. "That is something that we are going to need to work on, because when we are up there on the second night of the Ivy weekend off of that five-hour bus ride, we can't settle. They showed us that they are not going to go away. They are a proud team and they are not just going to give up."
Prior to the start of the season, Gobrecht looked at the tough schedule that was waiting for her team and thought it would be difficult for the Bulldogs to win the 13 games necessary for her to reach her 500th career victory this season. It turns out that her players were up for the challenge.
"I'm kind of surprised we got to the 13 wins this early," Gobrecht said. "I think that we got a good number of those 50-50 games in the non-conference season, and that was important. We have come out of the blocks pretty good in the Ivy League season too. I'm just looking forward to getting win No. 14 now."
That could come as soon as tomorrow when Columbia comes to Lee Amphitheater in the main event of the Yale Athletics Pink Zones weekend. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

I found an open source version for UML in http://argouml.tigris.org/
it is called ArgoUML.
It looks interesting, but I couldn't download it.
Is there anyone that is using ArgoUML?

I really wanted to use Argo, but it has quite a ways to go in order to be useful (or even bearable). Until Argo matures, I am resorting to either MagicDraw or Describe:

Poseidon is a commercial and improved version of ArgoUML which I was told is far more stable and with added funcionality.
You can download the "Community Edition" for free, and use it until 2004, or get a full-life license by registering.
I've just started to use it, so I can't tell if it's very useful or not... but it's better than nothing, and suitable for students that need to produce UML diagrams (like me ).

Interesting comments but a bit out of date now. I hope people are checking back to see the progress at http://argouml.tigris.org
If you believe it is not user friendly or lacks features then please raise issues an let us know.
We are approaching a major release which involves an upgrade to use MDR rather than NSUML. This has moved us up to UML1.4 and we are not stopping there.
Check us out. If you don't like the product tell us why or even better get involved.

The 76ers should officially be done talking about the playoffs. Of course, until they are actually mathematically eliminated, it's unlikely we'll stop hearing about a last-gasp push for the Eastern Conference's final playoff spot, which currently belongs to the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Sixers are now 22-35, which means they'll need to finish around 19-6 to contend for that last playoff spot. And considering their next two opponents are the Los Angeles Lakers and Orlando Magic, odds are that in two games they'll need to finish around 19-4.

SJTA introduces E-ZPass Plus to New York Avenue garage
The South Jersey Transportation Authority is equipping the facility with E-ZPass Plus. It is the first installation in an urban garage in a New Jersey city.
The system enables anyone with an E-ZPass account that is backed by a credit card in good standing to simply take a ticket upon entry and put it in an electronic reader when exiting the parking garage. It is located between Atlantic and Pacific avenues, convenient walking distance from many casinos and Atlantic Citys shopping and entertainment venues. The new system will not effect the payment choices currently offered. Cash and credit card payments still will be accepted.
Officials of the South Jersey Transportation Authority opened the New York Avenue parking garage for E-ZPass Plus customers in a ceremony Friday, Nov. 18, at 10:30 a.m.
E-ZPass Plus is another service of the South Jersey Transportation Authority enhancing customer convenience in the future. We want to harness technology for our patrons, said Authority Chairman Frank Spencer.
Using the new system is E-Z. Eligible customers take a ticket as usual upon entry. When leaving, they should insert the parking ticket into the electronic reader at the cashiers booth and select the E-ZPass Plus option from the prompts. The rest is automatic. The fee will be charged to the E-ZPass account unless it exceeds $20, when it will be charged directly to the backup credit card account. When the driver takes the receipt, the gate opens.
In addition to the parking garage, the South Jersey Transportation Authority owns and operates the Atlantic City Expressway, Atlantic City International Airport, and parking lots at the airport and on Fairmount and Atlantic avenues in Atlantic City.
The SJTA is proud to be the first state agency in New Jersey to offer E-ZPass Plus at a downtown garage, said Acting Exective Director James Iannone.
E-ZPass Plus is offered at the three metropolitan New York airports, including Newark, where a third of their parking patrons use it. E-ZPass account holders who replenish their accounts by credit card are automatically enrolled for E-ZPass Plus. Prepaid and commercial account holders must set up E-ZPass Plus at the customer service center of their issuing agency.
Were planning to install E-ZPass Plus at our two other parking facilities in Atlantic City in 2006, Chairman Spencer said. Well offer it at the Airport as soon as our parking garage project there is completed. In the meantime were looking for opportunities in the private sector where theres a good fit.

Bedford home invasion mystery deepens; wife found dead, doctor unconsciousBy SIMON RIOS
Union Leader Correspondent
January 07. 2013 8:56PM
BEDFORD - The wife of Dr. Eduardo Quesada was found dead Monday at her mother-in-law's condominium, six weeks after he was brutally beaten during a home invasion at the couple's lavish Proclamation Court home. Police said the anesthesiologist was also inside the condo, unconscious.
Police Chief John Bryfonski said Sonia Quesada was dead when paramedics arrived at 49 Kensington Lane. Bryfonski said she had no signs of trauma.
'There was a large amount of prescription medication ... that was found nearby,' Bryfonski said.
Police were able to communicate with Dr. Quesada; Bryfonski would not provide details on what he said.
The chief said Dr. Quesada was taken to an area hospital and his condition was unknown. Earlier, Bedford fire officials had said a patient was taken to Catholic Medical Center in Manchester.
The couple's 2-year-old daughter was not at the home, police said, and is in the custody of a family member.
Relatives called police about 10 a.m. Monday after not being able to reach the Quesadas by telephone, saying both had failed to appear at scheduled appointments earlier in the day.
Bryfonski said there were no signs of forced entry. Police had to break down the door to get into the home in the Mews, a 55-and-older condominium development near St. Elizabeth Seton Church.
Police said the Quesadas were staying at the home, which is owned by Norma Quesada, 81, the mother of the doctor.
Quesada and his wife were both hospitalized after the Nov. 24 attack in their Bedford home. Police have said the assailant broke into the upscale home at 7 Proclamation Court that Quesada shared with his wife, Sonia, and their 2-year-old daughter. They have given a general description - a 6-foot-tall man who wore a black ski mask and dark clothing. Police have said the attack may have been random.
Bryfonski said Monday's case is being treated as a separate matter from the Nov. 24 home invasion.
An autopsy will be performed today on Sonia Quesada.
The Attorney General's Office as well as the Hillsborough County Attorney's Office and State Police are assisting in the case.
Julie Taylor, president of The Mews at Bedford, the 55-plus community where Dr. and Mrs. Quesada were living, said she had made no connection between Norma Quesada and Eduardo Quesada.
'I think that's one of the reasons why the whole incident on Proclamation Court was upsetting ... (was) the fact that there weren't answers for it,' Taylor said. 'Everybody wants to know we're safe because this was an isolated incident, and maybe it was, but the police couldn't confirm any of that for whatever reason.
'Everyone that knows about it now doesn't seem particularly frightened because they believe it is an isolated incident that finished playing out,' she said
Mary Lou Brindisi, who lives across the street from the Quesada house, said she came home around noon to a fire truck, ambulance and several police cars.
'I just assumed that maybe it was a robbery - it just seemed like there were a lot of policemen,' she said.
Brindisi said Norma Quesada has lived at the house almost as long as she has; around 10 years.
'I'm embarrassed that I never put the names together. Norma Quesada has lived across the street from me for a long time, and I never made the connection.'
New Hampshire Union Leader Staff Writer Doug Alden contributed to this report.

Today's New York Times carries an engrossing account of the massive corruption in the UN-supervised Iraqi oil-for-food program: "Hussein's regime skimmed billions for aid program." The article is deficient only in failing to disclose how the billions of dollars in kickbacks on oil contracts were spent, but it is mandatory reading.
The United Nations bureaucrats come off as complicit fools:
United Nations overseers say they were unaware of the systematic skimming of oil-for-food revenues. They were focused on running aid programs and assuring food deliveries, they add.
The director of the Office of Iraq Programs, Benon V. Sevan, declined to be interviewed about the oil-for-food program. In written responses to questions sent by e-mail, his office said he learned of the 10 percent kickback scheme from the occupation authority only after the end of major combat operations.
In the few instances when Mr. Sevan's office suspected an irregularity, the statement said, it notified the sanctions committee, "which then requested member states concerned to investigate."
This is a story that Therese Raphael originally explored in a more provocative fashion earlier this month in the Wall Street Journal: "Saddam's global payroll."

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A former National Energy Technology Laboratory director who'd been indicted by a grand jury has been found dead in Pennsylvania.
The Allegheny County medical examiner's office says Pittsburgh resident Anthony Cugini (koo-GHEE'-nee) was found Wednesday at the Wingfield Pines Conservation Area, just outside his hometown.
A determination of the cause of death is pending. Police say it may have been an accident.
A Pittsburgh grand jury indicted Cugini on obstruction of justice charges in November. He was accused of hindering an investigation into possible misuse of his position.
Cugini became the lab's director in 2010 and resigned in October. No reason was given for the resignation.
The lab is owned by the U.S. Department of Energy. It works to produce affordable energy and enhance energy security. It has research offices in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Texas, Oregon and Alaska.

Police say two bicycle messengers took off on a high-speed pursuit of a suspected bike thief, chasing him for five blocks on busy downtown Los Angeles streets until they retrieved the stolen bike.
Cmdr. Andrew Smith said the couriers spotted someone steal a mountain bike from in front of a gym on Friday and gave chase.
They dashed across busy streets and along sidewalks crowded with pedestrians until one of the messengers grabbed the man's shirt and pulled him to the ground.
The thief fled on foot while the messengers grabbed the $500 bike.
Police say bike thefts are on the rise.
Smith says police are looking for a 30-year-old man with a torn shirt, possibly a sprained ankle and road rash.

Green Legacy Hiroshima: A-bombed trees
Symbol Mark for the Hiroshima A-bombed Trees - Design Concept
'The inspiration for this design is the Platanus orientalis at Tenma Elementary School in Hiroshima, exposed to the Atomic blast at a distance of 1,270 meters from the hypocenter. The design intertwines the silhouette of the tree with that of the Atomic Bomb Dome, symbol of Hiroshima's call for peace. The Dome's black segments have merged with the blackened trunk of the damaged tree which, despite its wounds, appears to be giving life to beautiful, green new leaves. It is my hope that the design can tell the story of the revival of Hiroshima and its A-bombed trees-and spread their special message around the world.'
Atsushi SEO, Designer
Profile of designer: Atsushi Seo is creative director of the market design division of Hakuhodo advertising company in Hiroshima. He has been the winner of numerous awards, including the Asahi Award and the Japan Newspaper Publishers & Editors Association Award.

Last week, former Orioles great Cal Ripken, Jr.'s duties as a postseason television analyst for TBS took him to Los Angeles, where he caught up with former teammate Eddie Murray for dinner.
It was 30 years to the day when the pair sealed the Orioles' last World Series title by winning Game 5 in 1983 with a 5-0 win over the Philadelphia Phillies at Veterans Stadium. Murray hit two homers in the victory. Ripken caught the final out, a line drive off the bat of Garry Maddox that is an iconic image in Baltimore.
"Ironically, I had dinner with Eddie the other night and we were talking about those things," Ripken said last week during a phone interview with The Baltimore Sun. "Looking back on all those wonderful things that happened during our careers to both of us, we had some wonderful moments on the field."
Ripken and Murray obviously both went on to Hall of Fame careers and are two of the most revered Orioles to wear the uniform. Thirty years later, their numbers have been retired and statues of the two players stand in Camden Yards.
Ripken won the first of two American League Most Valuable Player awards that year, setting career highs in runs, hits and doubles that season. And despite later making a legendary name for himself with "The Streak," Ripken said last week that winning the World Series 30 years ago was the pinnacle.
"Still, winning the World Series is the biggest moment," Ripken said. "It's what you dream of as a kid. You often wonder what it feels like. And when it actually happens to you, I caught that last out, there's a fulfillment of satisfaction and joy. You're very content like you've done it. That feeling is way better than all the other feelings you can have on the baseball field."
Asked whether it feels like three decades since that time, Ripken said it doesn't, because the memories are still fresh.
"Yeah, it's weird," said Ripken, 53. "It doesn't seem like 30 years ago. It's actually pretty hard for me to say that, because in some ways, you can pull that feeling right back up. But yeah, physically it's been a long time."

Why Has My Period Been So Irregular?
Last month my period was lighter than normal. I did not have any of my regular PMS symptoms. No cramping or anything else. I used maybe 2 tampons and my period lasted a week long(which is normally how long I`m on my period I was just stating for how irregular it was.) It was more like spotting. This month I am late. I am about a week late. Usually for about a week before my period I have all the PMS the cramping and bloating. This month I have none of that I am about a week late. What could be wrong? Any suggestions on what I should do?
Thanks for asking such an important question. It's hard to say since I don't have all the information I need to make a judgement but here are some possibilities:
First; Is there a chance that you are pregnant? That might be the first cause.
Second; Are you taking any birth control medications or had an IUD inserted that might have an effect on your periods?
Third; Have you started on any other medications that might be helping to deal with the PMS symptoms? That could affect your menstrual flow.
Fourth; Are you under increased and or unusual stress- that could also have an effect on your period. Best advice is to check for pregnancy and if that's not the cause, go to see your provider.
If you are pregnant, you need to see your provider as soon as possible to discuss your prenatal care. Hope this helps. All the best.

MIDDLETOWN — Garcia's Supermarket is going to expand and add a Central American sandwich restaurant, with the help of a $500,000 loan from the National Development Council and $50,000 from the city's Office of Economic and Community Development.
MIDDLETOWN — Garcia's Supermarket is going to expand and add a Central American sandwich restaurant, with the help of a $500,000 loan from the National Development Council and $50,000 from the city's Office of Economic and Community Development.
The renovations at the Hispanic supermarket on North Street will start in March and take about two months — with the work done after business hours so the market will stay open, said Alvaro Garcia Jr., the store's manager and the son of founder Alvaro Garcia Sr.
When they're done, the store will be freshened up outside and inside, its layout will be more user-friendly and the produce, dairy and frozen food sections will be larger.
The restaurant, the first American location of the Super Tortas Mexicanas franchise, will be located roughly behind where the cash registers are now, so people will see it when they enter the market. The expansion is expected to add three to five more employees.
Garcia's opened in Newburgh 26 years ago; it has been in Middletown the past 14. Their goal the whole time, Alvaro Jr. said, has been to provide the area's Hispanic community - which is both growing in numbers and diversifying, as more people come from Colombia, Ecuador and Central America — with the foods they can't find elsewhere.
"We're right here for them "� and we want to continue being here for them," he said.
Mayor Joe DeStefano called the expansion part of the city's ongoing efforts to revitalize downtown, and said he hopes it will counter criticism that the city has focused too much on the West Main Street corridor and not enough on other areas.
Hispanics have grown from 25 percent of the city's population in the 2000 census to almost 40 percent in 2010, with much of the Hispanic life in Middletown most visibly centered on North Street with its blocks of Latino-owned businesses and restaurants.
DeStefano said he hopes this will become a marketable asset that draws visitors to the neighborhood.
"We're trying to sell our diversity," he said.
The city leases the adjoining parking lot from the Second Baptist Church; they are in talks now to renew the lease, and DeStefano said the city wants to make some improvements to the lot, including better lighting to make people feel safer.
The city's Small Business Loan program helps businesses with "gap" financing, along with other sources of funding, to help them start up or expand. The National Development Council is a New York City-based nonprofit that has worked with thousands of communities in all 50 states and Puerto Rico since it was founded in 1969; its Grow America Fund steers money to underserved urban and rural areas.
"They believe in us, and they see that we believe in this community," said Garcia Jr. "That's why we want to re-invest here."

Managing Money Disagreements in Your Relationship
Disputes about money are cited as one of the leading causes of divorce, so if you're in a committed relationship, learning to manage those disagreements is important. Deciding where to spend (or not to spend) your cash can be emotionally charged, so before you bring up the subject, make sure you're in the right frame of mind. The goal is to compromise so that both of you walk away happy.

Ore. Senate OKs bill to help struggling timber counties
SALEM, Ore. (AP) The Oregon Legislature on Wednesday passed a bill to help struggling timber counties conduct elections, collect taxes and handle veterans services.
Without debate, the Senate voted unanimously to send the bill, HB2206B, to Gov. John Kitzhaber for his signature.
The governor plans to sign it, pending an internal review, spokeswoman Amy Wojcicki said.
The bill would allow financially struggling counties to ask the governor to declare an emergency, opening the way for state agencies to help with elections, collecting taxes and providing services to veterans.
The Legislature has yet to act on a more significant bill, HB3453, which would allow the governor to declare a public safety emergency in counties that refuse to vote for enough tax revenue to finance their sheriff's departments and jails. The bill has hit a stumbling block over how to raise taxes without approval from voters.
Democratic Sen. Arnie Roblan of Coos Bay and Rep. Bruce Hana, R-Roseburg, said in statements that timber counties cannot continue to wait for help from Congress to increase federal logging that pays revenues to counties.
Timber counties also have some of the lowest taxes in the state, and voters have been reluctant to approve tax increases. Two of three counties voting last May on tax increases turned them down Curry and Josephine. Lane County approved funding narrowly focused on the jail, where inmates were routinely set free for lack of room. Coos, Douglas, Jackson and Klamath counties have all had to make deep budget cuts.
"It's unfortunate that our forest management policies or lack thereof have put counties in a position where we even need to discuss these options," Hanna said. "However, I'm grateful that HB 2206 is now headed to the governor's desk so that distressed counties can have another tool at their disposal to manage critical services."

Grae's Rating:
It hoists The Eagle, all right.
Who's In It: Channing Tatum, Jamie Bell, Donald Sutherland, Denis O'Hare, Mark Strong
The Basics: This adaptation of Rosemary Sutcliffe's novel Eagle of the Ninth follows Marcus Aquila (Channing Tatum) as he displays bravery and leadership typical to Centurions. As far as I could tell he is a promising soldier because he is great with a spear and looks appropriately stoic in his helmet with a scrub brush on top of it . There's a deep inner struggle here though, because Marcus' father disgraced his legion by walking into a battle with savages who took both their lives and their big gold eagle on a stick. Marcus, even though he is nursing an injury, takes his slave Esca (Jamie Bell) along with him to right these wrongs.
What's The Deal: There's a lot of cool stuff in this movie--great costumes, gorgeous locations, fantastic fighting, and even killer sound design. But you're wondering how the hot babe got left out of the trailer, right? You can double check me on this one--there aren't any in the movie. Not a one. The only women you see are dirty, dead-eyed women as extras in a village (who are never acknowledged in any way). This makes this movie Winter's Ultimate Guy Flick…unless you happen to notice that there could be a strong undercurrent of romance between the 2 main characters who are dudes. This splits the viewing audience into people who just love watching Centurions do their thing vs. people who like watching men look deep into each other's eyes while they eat raw rat meat. It works on both levels. And for the record I am of the latter half of that group. As for the rest of the movie? It's almost new and interesting, but mostly just hints at some intriguing ideas.
Chicks Dig Scars AND Souls: Although Jeremy Brock wrote the screenplay, he was working from a woman's novel. This pairing has created an interesting vision of the military and how men relate to each other. The fighting is great and there's a decent amount of it, but it's rated PG-13 so nothing gets too crazy. It's the characters that are really on display here, more so than any other "sword and sandal" movie I've seen recently. The movie brings up the notion of honor, loyalty, and trust, although it doesn't delve deeply into it, nor was I really emotionally invested. And then someone yelled "Hold him down! Harder!" and I got distracted from all that honor nonsense.
Let's Talk Tatum: I still can't decide if I want Channing Tatum to be an actor or just a model. As of right now, he doesn't have a real presence as an actor, but darned if I haven't enjoyed most of his films on some level. Step Up showed us he can dance and be a cute boyfriend, Stop Loss taught us that he has something going on behind those eyes, and he even got funny in The Dilemma. On one hand, he entertains me. On the other, don't I deserve more? Am I so used to watching mediocrity that I am willing to let performers be sub par because it's normal? If he was in the Roman amphitheater fighting for his life and I had to give him a thumbs up or a thumbs down, I really don't know which I would choose. Even if he does have nice pecs.
Pathetic review. Bring back Jen Yamato, please!
Nothing wrong with the review. Seems concise, and covers the main bases. Don't let the haters get you down, aye.
Okay Review Grae but lets be realistic here. Tatum by far worse here and that is a clear thumbs down. I want Jen Yamato back, PLEASE! No offense but when a movie is back at least I'm entertained by her review because it's thoroughly honest. If I wanted just concise and covers the main bases then I'd watch the trailer. I want to know did it suck? Yes! and WHY? TATUM and his bad (I mean HORRIBLE) acting! Sorry, but someone had to be honest! BRING BACK JEN!
Sorry, meant to say "when a movie is BAD..."
This is a great review. Made me laugh and told me plenty about the movie. Why should a critic's opinion mirror yours precisely?
Well said, Sheila. Team Grae. Do I need to make a t-shirt?

How to: Create Instances of ASP.NET User Controls Programmatically
Just as you can programmatically create an instance of any server control on an ASP.NET Web page, you can do the same with a user control.
To create an instance of a user control programmatically
In the user control, be sure that the @ Control directive contains a ClassName attribute that assigns a class to the user control.
The following example sets the ClassName attribute to strongly type a user control.
<%@ Control className="MyUserControl" %>
In the page where you want to work with the user control, create a reference to the user control with the @ Reference directive.
When you create the user control programmatically, the strong type for your user control is available to the ASP.NET Web page only after you have created a reference to it. For example, the following code creates a reference to a user control created in the MyUserControl.ascx file.
<%@ Reference Control="MyUserControl.ascx" %>
You use the @ Reference when you intend to load the control programmatically. You use the @ Register directive when you add a user control to the page declaratively. For details, see How to: Include a User Control in an ASP.NET Web Page.
Create an instance variable for the user control, using the control's class name. The class will be part of the ASP namespace.
For example, if you want to create an instance of the user control declared as class Spinner, you use syntax such as the following:
Create an instance of the user control in code by calling the LoadControl method.
Assign property values as necessary, and then add the control to the ControlCollection collection of a container on the page, such as a PlaceHolder control.
When you add controls to the ControlCollection object using the Add method, they are placed in the collection in the order they are processed. If you want to add a control to a specific position in the collection, use the AddAt method and specify the index location where you want to store the control.
The following example shows an ASP.NET Web page that loads a user control programmatically. The page includes an @ Reference directive to specify the control's file. The LoadControl method reads the file and instantiates it as a control that can be added to the page.
<%@ Page Language="C#" %> <%@ Reference Control="~/Controls/Spinner.ascx" %>    <title>Load User Control Programmatically</title>   <form id="form1" runat="server">
 <asp:PlaceHolder runat="server" ID="PlaceHolder1" />
 <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Click to Add User Control" OnClick="Button1_Click" />

 <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>

Argentina's Supreme Court has ruled acceptable for a 32-year-old woman rescued from a prostitution ring to have the abortion she wants.
The ruling was applauded Friday by women's advocates in Buenos Aires where the federal ministry has been protecting the woman in a refuge for freed sex slaves.
Legally, Argentina allows abortion in rape cases or to protect a woman's health. Despite a Supreme Court ruling in March that was supposed to remove abortion barriers, politicians, doctors and judges often continue to block them.
For this case, a judge announced that while the woman was kidnapped and forced into prostitution, there was no proof of rape.
The Supreme Court ruling removed a judge's injunction, urging public health officials to act urgently and end the pregnancy, which is entering its 10th week. The decision was signed by six out of the seven justices, and it blames Buenos Aires Mayor Mauricio Macri and the judge who intervened. According to the justices, the two revealed details of the woman's case, enabling anti-abortion protestors to assemble in the public hospital where she was staying for her procedure.
Macri faces lawsuits for announcing publicly that the freed sex slave was scheduled to have an abortion. However, his deputy Maria Eugenia Vidal denied that the mayor has done anything wrong. In addition, she noted he appealed the judge's decision, claiming she had overstepped her authority.
According to the pregnant woman's lawyer, Pablo Vicente, the hospital staff provided her personal information to protestors, allowing them to gather outside of her home. Vicente also said the hospital's priest joined in the protest against her. The woman sued the group and the hospital director, insisting her privacy was violated and her life threatened.
"They shouted that she's a murderer, and threatened her that if she continues something really bad would happen to her," explained Vicente.
Nearly a century ago Argentina legalized abortion for very limited cases, including when women have been raped or facing serious health risks. Health ministry data shows 80,000 women are hospitalized due to complications from illegal abortions in Argentina each year. Women's health advocate Estela Diaz said the data suggests that as many as 500,000 women are getting the procedure.
"We urgently need a law to avoid victimizing the woman in these kinds of cases," said Vicente. "It's absolutely necessary to openly debate the abortion issue, and establish a national law that enables women to decide what to do with their bodies."
The freed sex slave was supposed to have undergone the procedure by early Friday, but her lawyers gave no details on the matter.

If you own a small business, are you a leader or a manager? Can an entrepreneur be both?
In a small business, your employees can make or break your business. You've got to have smart, capable people. But because virtually all small businesses are understaffed, you need employees who are self-starters, people you can trust without being supervised constantly.
I've always had this motto: "Hire people you trust and trust them."
But what do you do on those rare occasions when an employee turns out to be untrustworthy?
I've had that experience. An employee I trusted lied to me. He's gone now, and while he hurt me and everyone in the office, fortunately, no major damage was done to my company.
However, the incident makes me evaluate my management skills and ask myself: "Am I good leader but not a good-enough manager?"
I've always prided myself on being a great employer. I pay well, provide excellent benefits, give lots of praise and give employees the chance to grow.
As an entrepreneur, it's important to understand the distinction between being a "manager" and being a "leader." They are two distinctly different roles with two distinctly different skill sets.
First, some basic definitions:
A leader is someone who provides guidance and direction, someone who illuminates and shows the way forward toward a goal.
A manager is someone who takes a more hands-on and direct approach. To manage implies more direct governance and control than leadership. Rather than focusing on high-level goals, a manager helps people successfully fulfill responsibilities.
As management guru Peter Drucker once said: "Management is doing things right. Leadership is doing the right things."
A business needs both.
In big corporations, you often have two people handling these roles. The chief executive generally sets the direction and vision of the company, while the chief operating officer makes sure the decisions get executed.
Small businesses don't usually have that option.
Optimally, a small-business owner or entrepreneur should be able to switch back and forth between the two roles. Practically speaking, such a person is rare.
But at the very least you should be conscious of the key attributes of each and strive to incorporate them into your working style.
A leader:
— Sets high-level goals and strategy.
— Establishes clear standards and company values.
— Provides motivation and optimism.
— Creates a sense of teamwork and solicits input on strategies for various functions and business units.
— Identifies opportunities and threats companywide.
— Monitors and measures financial and organizational success.
— Empowers others to take action.
— Helps things go right.
A manager:
— Tells employees what needs to be done.
— Trains employees or arranges for training on how to do their jobs well.
— Solicits input from employees on procedures.
— Identifies opportunities and problems on a day-to-day level.
— Monitors and measures individuals' success.
— Helps prevent things from going wrong.
Since small businesses usually aren't staffed to have separate people fulfill these roles, it's typically up to you, as the boss, to wear both hats.
When you don't, your business suffers.
If you are only a manager, your focus is too short sighted. You don't provide the vision your company needs to survive and grow. You won't respond to changing conditions, develop new business, keep up with the competition.
And your employees may not feel motivated or engaged.
If you are only a leader, your vision is too grand. You don't provide the day-to-day oversight and guidance you need to make sure that things are being done on time and on budget. Your customer service slips. Your profit margins shrink.
And employees may feel you don't care about or notice their personal performance.
Realistically, entrepreneurs tend to lean one way or the other, toward leadership or management. I'm a stronger leader than a manager.
So, what have I learned from my recent experience?
I must put procedures in place to ensure that my employees are more accountable.
I certainly do not want to be the kind of employer who micromanages my employees nor do I want to have a workplace where workers feel mistrusted.
But I've decided that I need to follow a bit of Ronald Reagan's advice: "Trust but verify."
Lead and manage. It's tough, but it's my job.

A grizzly bear walks at low tide in Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island
Grizzly eating grass in the Great Bear Rainforest (Great Bear Nature Tours photo)
British Columbia is prime bear watching territory. The province is home to the rare white Kermode (Spirit) bear, more than half of Canada's grizzly bears, and a quarter of Canada's black bears.
Perch in an elevated viewing platform and witness grizzly bears pouncing on and devouring spawning salmon. Drift silently in a riverboat and listen to a black bear and her cubs munching fresh grass sedges. Or visit the Great Bear Rainforest to catch a glimpse of an elusive white Kermode bear lumbering along a mossy riverbank.
Bear viewing in BC ranges from spotting a bear next to the highway to luxury wilderness adventure trips. It's possible to view bears without a guide, but guided bear-watching trips are the best way to ensure a safe, successful experience of viewing bears in their natural habitat.

Most bear-viewing tours use elevated viewing platforms or boats drifting in the river. Tours typically have very high bear viewing success rates, often ranging from 90-100%.
Boat-based tours are mobile and create a sense of being on a "bear-safari." They give a unique bear's eye-level perspective and are often close enough to hear bears tearing and chewing sedge grasses near the water's edge.
In fall, elevated viewing platforms provide the chance to witness dramatic scenes, such as bear to bear interactions or bears running after salmon in shallow waters. Individual bear personalities often become apparent and the bears decide how far – or close – they lumber past the platforms. Other land-based bear viewing can involve driving along backroads.
Depending on the region and operator, tours range from quick half-day excursions to multi-day adventures. Check with local Visitor Centres for information about bear-watching tours available in the area.
Bear-watching season is best in spring and fall.
In spring, bears emerge from hibernation and hungrily seek out fresh shoots and sedges along river banks and low-lying areas. Boat tours are common.
In fall, spawning salmon are a feast for bears fattening up before hibernation. Bears (along with eagles and wolves) line the rivers and fish for their meals. Viewing platforms are commonly used.
Grizzly Bears
BC's largest bears, weighing up to 500kg/1,100lb. An estimated 16,000 grizzlies live in BC's vast wilderness. Their reclusive nature means that they generally avoid populated areas and people, making sighting one a special occurrence.
Kermode (Spirit) Bears
A rare subspecies of black bear with white- or cream-coloured fur due to a genetic trait. Princess Royal Island, in the Great Bear Rainforest, has the largest concentration of Spirit bears in the world – as many as one in ten black bears may be white. It has an important place in First Nations legends and is BC's official mammal.
Black Bears
BC's most common bear. Found across the province, except in the most urban areas. Contrary to their name, they're not always black. Brown, blonde, cinnamon and even white colour variations are possible.
For the safety of humans and bears, always follow these strict but simple precautions from BC Parks and the Commercial Bear Viewing Association of BC:

Appreciation And Admiration
Dear Editor,
I have been a proud Owen County resident for over 10 years. I never went to school in Indiana. I moved here quite some time ago for a job. I have been married to my husband for over 16 years. We do not have any children. We have never been to an Owen Valley High School event, but we have donated when we can – money for car washes, buying items being sold for events like prom, band, etc...
I am writing this letter to show my appreciation and admiration for a current teacher at Owen Valley High School. Her name is Mrs. Mauder. She is promoting a program with the seniors called Patriot Expo. It is a class requirement to graduate high school. From what I understand, the program has to be taken and passed by all seniors to graduate. Not all schools require this of their seniors, but I want to share my personal experience.
We live on a farm in Owen County. A young lady came down our driveway and spoke with my husband about wanting to volunteer her time working on the farm. Well, this day and age who can turn down a free hand, right? Well, the young lady came and did her 30 hours of volunteer time. The time she spent with us was worth way more than the 30 hours of labor. I watched over several weeks while my husband showed her how to work on things, build things and operate machinery. He showed patience when discussing her performance upon filling out her required paperwork for class assessment. He listened to her about her family, school, hopes and dreams. He took her fishing. He showed me that he was excited about teaching a young person something new. He shared with her new approaches and techniques to life in general. The fact is, the program is meant for a young person to present themselves to the world. Getting prepared for life after high school. The ability to accept criticism beyond the home and classroom. The experience for me and for the community is we get to see our young people present themselves for the first time, in most cases without supervision and expectation.
We get to help mold our future leaders and future teachers. We get to be a part of this great community and feel the experience of being part of a greater purpose. I work at a retail store in Bloomington as an assistant manager. We have several Owen Valley graduates working for us while attending college at IU or Ivy Tech. I always look at applications of students who attended Owen Valley with pride. My hat's off to Mrs. Mauder and her leadership in the school for providing the young people a very simple task that can touch many lives without even knowing how deep it can reach. We need more teachers like her, looking out for the young people and preparing them for life after high school. I wish I could have had a teacher care about me when I was that young.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are slightly lower on Wall Street, moderating their losses after a rout last week.
Industrial stocks were among the few winners after heavy-equipment maker Caterpillar reported a surge in earnings for the fourth quarter.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 44 points, or 0.3 percent, to 15,837. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell eight points, or 0.5 percent, to 1,781. The Nasdaq composite fell 44 points, or 1.1 percent, to 4,083.
Investors were encouraged by signs of stability in Argentina and Turkey, two of the emerging markets that got slammed last week. There have also been concerns that China's economic engine is slowing down, potentially dragging other developing countries along with it.
Asian markets slumped. European markets fell slightly.

WILLIAMSBURG, April 22, 1775.
To his Excellency the Right Hon. John Earl of Dunmore... My Lord, We his Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Mayor, Recorder, Aldermen, and Common Council, of the city of Williamsburg, in Common Hall assembled, humbly beg leave to represent to your Excellency, that the inhabitants of this city were this morning exceedingly alarmed by a report that a large quantity of gunpowder was in the preceding night, while they were sleeping in their beds, removed from the public magazine in this city, and conveyed, under the escort of marines, on board one of his Majesty's armed vessels lying at a ferry on James river. We further beg leave to inform your Excellency, that, from various reports at present prevailing in different parts of the country, we have too much reason to believe that some wicked and designing persons have instilled the most diabolical notions into the minds of our slaves, and therefore the utmost attention to our internal security is become the more necessary… --- Considering ourselves as guardians of the city, we therefore humbly desire to be informed by your Excellency, upon what motives, and for what particular purpose, the powder has been carried off in such a manner; and we earnestly entreat your Excellency to order it to be immediately returned to the magazine. [To which his Excellency returned this verbal answer] That, hearing of an insurrection in a neighbouring county, he had removed the powder from the magazine, where he did not think it secure, to a place of perfect security, and that, upon his word and honour, whenever it was wanted on any insurrection, it should be delivered in half an hour, that he had removed it in the night time to prevent any alarm, and that Captain Collins had his express commands for the part he had acted; he was surprised to hear the people were under arms on this occasion, and that he should not think it prudent to put powder into their hands in such a situation.
Virginia Gazette (Dixon & Hunter) April 22, 1775
About this entry:
The colonies were full of rumors and unrest in April of 1775. Only a few days before, the British and Americans had exchanged bullets at Lexington and Concord. The Virginians had not heard about it yet, but after Dunmore requested the key to the Magazine from the keeper they began guarding the Powder Magazine. After a week of watching, they called off the guard and immediately Dunmore sent a detachment of marines to take the powder. John Frederick Miller, the Keeper of the Magazine reported to the House of Burgesses that there were 21 1/2 barrels of gunpowder.
