December 1, 1915 - January 1, 2013
Middletown, NY
Dorothy Murtha Di Bello, 97, entered into eternal life on New Year's Day, 2013, reuniting with her husband of seventy-one years, Anthony J. Di Bello.
She was born on Benjamin Avenue, Middletown, NY on December 1, 1915 to Andrew J. Murtha and Julia Kennedy Murtha. The youngest of eight, she was predeceased by brothers: Horace (KIA World War I) and Thomas, and sisters: Alice Mikles, Agnes Marasco, Helen Dailey, Irene O'Brien, Mary Donahue, and sister-in-law, Irene McManus Dailey.
As a student at Middletown High School she was and continued to be an enthusiastic fan of Middie football. Preparations for the traditional Thanksgiving Day Dinner were seasoned with cheers of, "Beat Port!" She was a loyal employee of the Sears Roebuck Company of Middletown and during World War II, was a Red Cross worker at USA Camp Shelby, Purvis, MS and post deployment at the Red Cross facility in Middletown, NY. Dorothy also devoted much of her time and efforts as an officer in the Lenten Sewing Club and the Horton Hospital Ladies Auxiliary. She was a member of the Marian Society and the Confraternity of the Brown Scapular. For years she was the inspiration behind the annual Murtha-Kennedy family reunion. It was through her efforts that so many near and far relatives remained "family." Her other activities included gardening, the Orange County Golf Club nine-holers, and contract bridge. To complete an overflowing agenda she labored and achieved the notable distinction of being the best Italian cook that ever kissed the Blarney Stone. A graduate of Crane Business School in Middletown and Orange County Community College (business/accounting) she competently managed the finances of her husband's, dental practice.
She is survived by her children: Joseph Di Bello and wife, Janet of Montgomery, Tina Budd and husband, Vinny of Greentown, PA, Andrew Di Bello of Middletown, and Maria Eisenberg and husband, Michael of Vienna, VA; ten grandchildren: Laura Di Bello, Lisa Di Bello, LaurieKay Hoeffner, Scott Lare, Rebecca Budd Meyers, Julia Budd Lennon, Melissa Budd Saranovic, Jarrod Eisenberg, Daniel Eisenberg, and Elizabeth Eisenberg; ten great-grandchildren and innumerable nieces, nephews and cousins.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Thursday, January 3, at 10 a.m. at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Euclid Avenue, Middletown.
Memorial contributions may be made to Porto Charities, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting people with intellectual disabilities: Porto Charities, Inc., PO Box 7266, Arlington, VA, 22207 or the Middletown Historical Society, East Ave., Middletown, NY.
We would like to invite our family and friends to a Memorial Celebration of Life to be held on April 27. Location to be announced.
Arrangements are under the direction of Applebee McPhillips. You may access the online guest book at www.applebee-mcphillips.com

It is possible that the main title of the report Tricho Dento Osseous Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Tricho-dento-osseous (TDO) syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder that belongs to a group of diseases known as ectodermal dysplasias. Ectodermal dysplasias typically affect the hair, teeth, nails, and/or skin. TDO syndrome is characterized by kinky or curly hair; poorly developed tooth enamel; and unusual thickness and/or denseness (sclerosis) of the top portion of the skull (calvaria) and/or the long bones (i.e., bones in the arms and legs). In some cases, affected individuals also exhibit abnormally thin, brittle nails or premature closure (fusion) of the fibrous joints between certain bones in the skull (craniosynostosis), causing the head to appear abnormally long and narrow (dolicocephaly).
There may be three distinct types of TDO syndrome. Some researchers suggest that these variants may be differentiated mainly by whether the calvaria and/or long bones exhibit abnormal hardening (sclerosis), thickening, and/or density. Other symptoms also vary among the three disorder types.

Terence Stamp is an English actor and an icon of the 1960's. He's appeared in more than 60 films since launching his career in 1962. His most recent movie role is that of Arthur in the music-themed dramedy Unfinished Song (2012). As main character, Stamp plays a grumpy pensioner who reluctantly joins the local choir at the behest of his late wife (played by Vanessa Redgrave).
Many movie fans believe Terence Stamp's best performances remain with his work from the late 70's and early 80's, however, when he portrayed the evil General Zod in the original Superman (1978) film. He reprised the role for the series' sequel, Superman II (1980).
Stamp delivered what many consider to be his finest performance in the year 1984 when he was cast as the supergrass in Stephen Frears' The Hit.

KC KDE #39 is Out
The latest issue of Kernel Cousin KDE is out. This week read about the KDE 3.1 release schedule and feature plan, KOffice news, Kicker Xinerama tweaks, KDE/GNOME interoperability, KDE on HP/UX, and kde-edu discussions. Kudos to the KC KDE Team!
KOffice news ?

KDE on HPUX update
Actually, I have all of kdelibs and kdebase compiled on HPUX too. The problem mentioned in KC39 was solved once I realized that HPUX11 uses comdat linkage which requires explicit template instantiation. (Thanks to John Anglin for pointing this out.) C++ has always had a hard time on HPUX because of a lot of screwups, not the least of which is the unruly beast of an aCC compiler they ship.
However, I have decided to stop work on the 32-bit port as I do not fully understand HP's (traditional) executable format. The 64-bit executable format is the one we all know best: elf. So, I plan to concentrate on the 64-bit port which does not require many of the workarounds from the 32-bit port because hppa64 supports weak symbols. Of course, this means no ports for HPUX 10.20.
The major problem with the 64-bit port is that the toolchain (binutils, gcc and friends) themselves have rather rocky CVS mailine trees at the moment. I hope to have a fully functional 64-bit KDE 3.x available within a couple of weeks of stabilization of the gcc hppa64 mainline.
I am looking for volunteers to try and compile my ported sources. If you are interested, please drop me a line; you can find my email address from the link in KC39.

Re: KDE on HPUX update
Are you still working on KDE for HPUX? I'd like to lend assistance if possible.
By E Hunter at Tue, 2003/05/13 - 5:00am
Re: KDE on HPUX update
Im interested in trying to install on hpux11 the K Desktop Environment! (19 January 2007). If you are still working on this project Id like to get involved.

Can anyone tell me what happenend to this attempt to provide a raster drawing program for KDE?
By RK at Sun, 2002/06/23 - 5:00am
Re: Krita/Krayon?
Krita is (will be) pixel-based image manipulation (think photoshop, gimp etc.). And it lacks developers - not much happened on it for quite some time.
Krayon is the new vector-drawing app - and it's in KOffice-1.2 (beta2, very soon now).
By David Faure at Mon, 2002/06/24 - 5:00am
Re: Krita/Krayon?
That's Karbon. Krayon and Krita are the same thing. Mosfet has a GIMP-like for KDE but it's not released.
By ac at Mon, 2002/06/24 - 5:00am
Re: Krita/Krayon?
Duh. I misread krayon as karbon (heh, most "crayons" use carbon ;)
Yes, Krayon was renamed Krita (stupid trademarks).

I may indeed be the only one ever to encounter this - however if you have a myisam table with one row, and you search with valid table and column name for a result where you might expect 0 rows, you will not get 0, you will get 1, which is the myisam optimised response when a table has 0 or one rows. Under "5.2.4 How MySQL Optimises WHERE Clauses" it reads:
*Early detection of invalid constant expressions. MySQL quickly detects that some SELECT statements are impossible and returns no rows.
*All constant tables are read first, before any other tables in the query. A constant table is:
1) An empty table or a table with 1 row.
2) A table that is used with a WHERE clause on a UNIQUE index, or a PRIMARY KEY, where all index parts are used with constant expressions and the index parts are defined as NOT NULL.
Hopefully this will keep someone from staying up all night with 1146 errors, unless I am completely mistaken in thinking I have this figured out.

West Creek Pineland Natural Area
4900 W. Hillsboro Blvd., Coconut Creek, FL 33073Phone: 954-357-8109 • Email: email@example.com
SizeThis 7.43-acre tract consists of two parallel pineland parcels connecting the City of Coconut Creek's urban greenway trail system. The site, adjacent to the county's Helene Klein Pineland Preserve and Saw Palmetto Natural Area, buffers visitors from busy Hillsboro Boulevard and showcases the C-5 canal. This trio of natural areas, although separate and distinct, is critical for migratory birds for refuge, forage, and resting during long migration routes, as well as a habitat for nonmigratory bird species.
HabitatThis site consists primarily of mesic flatwoods, often seasonally wet but considered an upland natural community with mostly sandy soils and hardpan top layer. The protected natural area is representative of the pine flatwood communities once common in this region prior to urban development. The bisecting C-5 canal provides a freshwater component to the landscape and introduces additional wildlife to the pineland community.
VegetationThe characteristic tree seen at this site is the South Florida slash pine, with mixed understory of saw palmetto, American beautyberry, and a variety of native pineland grasses. Dead slash pines, called "snags," are critical for several of woodpecker species, and birders love these areas for the chance they offer to see these active and often vocal birds.
WildlifeThis natural area is home to wildlife. Resident and migratory birds such as the great horned owl, pileated and red-bellied woodpecker, belted kingfisher, great egret, great blue heron, anhinga, several species of hawk, osprey, mottled ducks, and various wood warblers can be seen at West Creek. Among the freshwater fish documented in the canal are alligator gar and largemouth bass. Nearly 15 species of butterflies are prevalent throughout the site and commonly seen from the greenway. If you have questions regarding wildlife or wish additional information, please call the park number above. The following safety tips are recommended for our guests: 1. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid the water's edge. 2. Alligators, snakes, and other animals live in this area. 3. Do not approach, feed, or taunt alligators, snakes, or other wildlife. 4. Pets, where permitted, must be on a leash no longer than six feet. 5. No swimming or wading except in designated areas. 6. Use common sense while in this natural area.
AmenitiesThe site is accessible to pedestrians only, with parking available at nearby Helene Klein Pineland Preserve or, slightly farther away, at Hillsboro Pineland Natural Area, both managed by Broward County Parks and Recreation Division. A six-foot-wide paved trail - part of the Coconut Creek multiuse greenway trail system - runs through the southern end of the property and features a 100-foot-long pedestrian bridge that crosses the C-5 canal. Interpretive signs, benches, and a large, shaded gazebo are provided for leisurely wildlife observation and resting along the greenway. Vantage points are especially good along the bridge, and visitors are encouraged to bring binoculars. This section of the greenway is referred to as the Long Pine Greenway. Wildlife observation is encouraged, although bicycles, inline skates, skateboards, and motorized vehicles are prohibited on the trails. As with all natural area sites, pets are not allowed.
EcoAction Days (October through May)Volunteer workdays help keep our natural areas clear of garbage and invasive plants. They're held on the fourth Saturday of the month from 9 a.m. to noon. Closed-toe shoes are required, and long pants and long sleeves are suggested. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own gloves, hats, sunscreen, insect repellent, and drinking water. Ages 13 to 17 must have a parent or guardian's signature on the registration form prior to participating. Volunteers under the age of 13 may participate, but only if accompanied by a parent or guardian. High school students can use the hours from these workdays toward their required community service hours. Check the volunteer Web page for the latest workday registration form. Preregister by calling Quiet Waters park at 954-357-5100.
A Little HistoryAlthough West Creek Pineland is representative of a typical mesic flatwoods habitat, it was undoubtedly changed forever by the introduction of the intricate South Florida canal and ditch systems in the early 1900s. In 1912, three years before Broward County was carved out of Palm Beach and Dade counties, the location of the future natural area was owned by the land development company Palm Beach Farms. Ownership of both the east and west parcels that now make up the site changed hands several times from the 1950s to the 1980s, as the general area became increasingly developed. Both parcels were purchased separately by Broward County in 2004, through the 2000 Safe Parks and Land Preservation Bond program. Florida Communities Trust, a state land acquisition grant program, was also a funding partner in the purchase of West Creek.
The natural area is accessible from Broward County Transit Routes #14, #31, and #48.

The euro advanced from a three-week low against the dollar amid optimism that Spain's latest budget and banking measures are moving the euro region closer to containing its debt crisis.
The 17-member currency strengthened versus all of its 16 most-traded peers after Moody's Investors Service said Spain's bank recapitalization is positive for the nation's credit rating. Results of stress tests as part of terms to win a European bailout showed Sept. 28 Spanish banks have a capital deficit less than previously estimated. The pound weakened as an index of U.K. manufacturing fell more than forecast.
"We had some developments last week with the budget and stress tests that, overall, they were OK," Eric Viloria, senior currency strategist for Gain Capital Group LLC in New York. "It seems like they are making steps toward getting to a more sustainable budget deficit. Obviously it's going to be a long process."
The euro appreciated 0.4 percent to $1.2916 at 9:27 a.m. New York time, after dropping as much as 0.4 percent to $1.2804, the weakest since Sept. 11. It strengthened 0.5 percent to 100.69 yen, also erasing a 0.4 percent decline. Japan's currency was little changed at 77.94 against the greenback.
The euro rose even after reports showed manufacturing in the region contracted for a 14th month in September and the unemployment rate reached the highest on record.
Already Discounted
"Much of the negative news has been discounted, and we're in a position whereby the market is still very hopeful that we're moving in Europe toward some more positive news with regards to Spain," said Ian Stannard, head of European foreign- exchange strategy at Morgan Stanley in London. "The euro is going to be very well supported in this environment."
A gauge of manufacturing based on a survey of purchasing managers was 46.1, above an initial estimate of 46 on Sept. 20, Markit said today. The index has held for 14 months below 50, indicating contraction, and fell as low as 44 in July. Unemployment was 11.4 percent in August, the same as in June and July after those months' figures were revised higher, according to the European Union's statistics office.
Spain's 10-year bonds rose for a third day, with the yield decreasing six basis points, or 0.06 percentage point, to 5.88 percent.
Spain commissioned the stress tests as part of terms to win external financial aid of as much as 100 billion euros ($129 billion) for its banking system. They showed a deficit of 59.3 billion euros.

A boring task turns into a history lesson.
By Roy Underhill
Page: 64
From the April 2010 issue #182
Buy this issue now
One day in Williamsburg, a message reached me at the carpenter's yard that the cabinet shop was shorthanded and needed help. I figured it was some high-end task like dovetailing a chest or shaving cabriole legs, so I dropped my adze and headed to the cabinet shop across the creek.
I eased into the visitor-crowded shop and waited for a couple of Japanese honeymooners to get their photograph. Along the wall, I spied the work ahead – a great stack of heavy walnut spindle blanks, waiting by the lathe.
Well, I'm a pretty good turner, so I happily worked my way through the visitors toward the rack of polished gouges. Then I noticed that David, one of the shop's journeymen, was already at the lathe, nodding toward the great wheel that drove it.
Oh, fair enough, I thought. I stepped over the rope, set my hands on the drive handle of the 6′-diameter wheel and began to crank. Slowly I worked it up to speed. The first 10 minutes were fine. I watched the leather drive belt pour from the top of the wheel over my head, run along the wall to the headstock pulley, and then rush back toward my feet. I counted the spindles in the stack. I watched the faint drift of brown shavings feathering to the floor.

Spitzer Hall of Human Origins
The Anne and Bernard Spitzer Hall of Human Origins pairs fossils with DNA research to present the remarkable history of human evolution. The hall covers millions of years of human history, from early ancestors who lived more than six million years ago to modern Homo sapiens, who evolved 200,000 to 150,000 years ago.
This innovative exhibition combines discoveries in the fossil record with the latest genomic science to explore the most profound mysteries of humankind: who we are, where we came from, and what is in store for the future of our species. The hall explores human biology and anatomy, traces the path of human evolution, and examines the origins of human creativity.
Featuring four life-sized tableaux of Homo ergaster, Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and Cro-Magnons, the Spitzer Hall of Human Origins shows each species in its habitat, demonstrating the behaviors and capabilities that scientists think it had. Also displayed are a variety of important fossil casts, including the 1.7-million-year-old "Turkana Boy." The hall also features examples of what are thought to be some of humans' earliest forms of artistic expression, including an original limestone engraving of a horse carved about 25,000 years ago in southwestern France.
"Lucy" is one of the most complete skeletons found to date from the early hominids that flourished between 4 and 2 million years ago. The skeleton consists of bones from a single individual, presumably female, who stood well under 4 feet tall.
The Mural of Primate Evolution shows vignettes from 50 million years of primate evolution with detailed depictions of early primates and habitats.
Some 300,000 years ago, a new tool-making technique produced a sharp-edged flake of stone. Neanderthals were masters of this technique and made a wide variety of sharp tools.
During excavations near Peking (Beijing), China, between 1929 and 1937, researchers discovered several partial skulls of the species Homo erectus. These hominids lived around 400,000 years ago and came to be known as Peking Man.

Russell Wilson, STARTING QUARTERBACK, Seattle
Russell should go back and add "you got a @#$@#$#in problem with that" to the end of that commercial.

This was the cheifs game russell that i had been hoping was the real russell tonight.
slinging that ball like a kilo of fine columbian, in a come from behind win against the damned patriots.
you cannot discount this from him, the defense wasn't dominating, it gave up 23 points (still good against the pats) and he won a shootout with Tom Brady,
I'll repeat that for anyone who didn't read that write, i type this stuff and i know it can be hard to read i am sorry.
just won a shootout
find a way to take this win from him,

Hawks fan Mark Kmiecik of Tinley Park couldn't handle watching Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final at home, so he flew to Boston and scored seats behind net into which the Hawks scored the title clincher. Kmiecik, 34, told RedEye the story of attending one of the best sports moments in Chicago history.
We went to Fenway Park during the day, and we had our hockey stuff on, so we were not so much harassed, but we definitely got some looks. The thing that I have to say is that the Boston people were very accommodating, very hospitable. Of the probably 100 people I spoke with, there was only one person who was rather mean spirited.
Got to the stadium, and there were a good number of Hawks fans around. We were fortunate enough to get seats that were third row from the ice on the side where the Blackhawks shot twice. It was really exciting. We knew that possibly within three hours, we'd be seeing the Stanley Cup.
The Bruins won the first period, but they played their best hockey. We knew that if that was the best Boston could play, that maybe things would get a little bit better.
Things got a little bit more desperate [when the Hawks went down 2-1]. The Hawks pulled the goalie, and then [Jonathan] Toews passes to [Bryan] Bickell right in front of the net, and he scored right in front of us. And all the Hawks fans just jumped up and down and were high-fiving each other, hugging each other. It was a sense of relief at that time, like, "Great, this game is going to overtime."
We barely got done with [the celebration] and turned around and the Hawks had the puck back in the zone and scored again. Nobody knew what happened. You could just feel the air absolutely fly out of the stadium. I watched the game when I got home from Boston, and the TV did not adequately show how absolutely stunned the fans were. People had their head in their hands. I saw some tears from some Bruins fans. They were absolutely stunned. In a matter of basically 30 seconds of actual time, they had gone from a Game 7 to them being in desperation mode. Now THEY have to score in the last minute.
When the game ended, the Bruins fans, again, were very classy. The two gentlemen sitting next to me shook my hand and said "congratulations." Most of the crowd stuck around to see the Stanley Cup lifted. It was an absolute sense of jubilation.
I'm a White Sox fan, a Blackhawks fan and of course a Bears fan, and besides maybe a bottom-of-the-ninth, walkoff home run from the White Sox, I really can't think of a better ending to a sporting event.

Clayton, Georgia: Small Mountain Town with a Quaint Downtown
Clayton sits in the misty shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains in northeastern Georgia. Outdoor adventure abounds in the small town—head to nearby Black Rock Mountain State Park to tackle forested hiking trails such as the Ada-Hi Falls trail, a half-mile track that leads to a small waterfall, or the more challenging 2.2-mile Tennessee Rock trail. You can fish for rainbow trout and large-mouth bass in Black Rock Lake, about 20 minutes north of the resort.
Downtown Clayton has a main street lined with quaint boutiques, antique stores, and an old-fashioned drug store and soda fountain. There's also a thriving arts scene. Featured in the New York Times and Better Homes and Gardens, Main Street Gallery stocks original artwork, pottery, and handcrafted furniture.

There are things in life that, as a man, you just inherently understand. Maybe it's how to use a torque wrench, or hunt with a bow and arrow, or properly grip a Colt Model 1911 to prevent hammer bite. Almost certainly, it's that the combination of a big motor in a roomy American sedan makes for serious entertainment behind the wheel. While not ideal for strafing canyons or lapping a tight road course, this Charger just feels right when the light goes green and you drop the hammer, accompanied by the primordial growl of an angry Hemi V8. You should see it when i take this and my Camaro to the track for a race the two are close!
Very nice clean Black 1978 Trans AM. Found this about 8 miles from my house. It was on Craigslist all summer and no one bought it. So in September I drove up and brought it home to my house. The Motor was rebuilt about 10 years ago and maybe has 3,000 miles on it, but already has a Rod Knock. So I am going to save it and get it back on the road. Pulling out the entire driveline this winter and going through it. Someone put 4.11 gears in it. Not really a good idea. We will be putting this back to stock. And the wheels need to be Snowflakes for sure. So the AR's are coming off!!
No specifications listed.
I checked in my Note Book for the Specs and all I could find was "FUN"
This is one very nice TA ready for the Bandit Run! Every Mechanical System is New on this car. Engine, Trans, Cluthc, Rear Axle, Brakes and Cooling Systems are all new. Show Quality Paint and Mint Interior make this one you should consider if you are looking for a Turn Key TA. Black, Numbers Matching W72 400, 4spd - What more is there to think about. Drop me a note if you are interested. I live very close to a DAS shipping terminal, so shipping is quite reasonable as I can deliver the car to them and do a Terminal to Terminal shipment. I have done it before and it works great!

Police find 'good evidence' on motive for Connecticut school massacreBy Rob Cox and Chris Kaufman
December 15. 2012 1:44PM
NEWTOWN, Connecticut (Reuters) - Investigators assembled "some very good evidence" to explain what drove a 20-year-old gunman to slaughter 20 children and six adults at an elementary school, police said on Saturday, a day after one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history shattered a small Connecticut town.
The attacker, identified by law enforcement sources as Adam Lanza, opened fire on Friday morning at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, which teaches children aged 5 to 10. The shooter killed 26 people before turning the gun on himself, and was suspected of killing another person before the massacre.
"Our investigators at the crime scene ... did produce some very good evidence in this investigation that our investigators will be able to use in, hopefully, painting the complete picture as to how - and more importantly why - this occurred," Connecticut State Police Lieutenant Paul Vance told a news conference.
The shooting has tormented the town of Newtown, once listed as the fifth-safest city in the America but now in crisis.
Yale-New Haven Hospital opened a crisis-intervention center in the wealthy suburb of 27,000 people about 80 miles from New York City. By mid-morning about 50 cars were parked outside. A sign warned media to stay away.
"If healing can come some day, that's what I want to ask God to do," said Andrea Jaeger, who placed a small candle at the makeshift memorial for the victims at the entrance to the school's driveway on Saturday morning. "Children's lives were lost and that's something we all feel."
The tragedy moved President Barack Obama to tears on national television on Friday and rattled a country that has grown accustomed to mass shootings, but not with victims so young. It also stood to revive a debate about U.S. gun laws.
"The kids who died were in two first-grade classrooms (6-year-olds)," said Mary Ann Jacob, a library clerk who described leading children out of danger during the shooting.
Vance, the police spokesman, declined to describe the evidence gathered about the shooter's motives but did say the gunman forced his way into the school, as opposed to being let in.
Crime-scene investigators worked through the night and moved the bodies to the state medical examiner's office for autopsies, police said in a statement. Victims' names had yet to be released.
The adult woman found at the secondary crime scene was related to the shooter, a police news release said, and many media outlets have reported it was the shooter's mother, Nancy Lanza.
Nancy Lanza legally owned a Sig Sauer and a Glock, both handguns of models commonly used by police, and a military-style Bushmaster .223 M4 carbine, according to law enforcement officials who also believe Adam Lanza used at least some of those weapons.
"We're investigating the history of each and every weapon and we will know every single thing about those weapons," Vance said.
Nancy Lanza was an avid gun collector who once showed him a "really nice, high-end rifle" that she had purchased, said Dan Holmes, owner of a landscaping business who recently decorated her yard with Christmas garlands and lights. "She said she would often go target shooting with her kids."
Vance pointedly urged the news media to leave alone the families of the shooting victims and said a police officer had been assigned to each family "to help to maintain that solitude."
Former classmates of the shooter remembered him as a quiet loner - someone who dressed more formally than other students, often wearing khaki pants, button-down shirts and at times, a pocket protector.
"(His mother) pushed him really hard to be smarter and work harder in school," said Tim Arnone, 20, who first met Lanza at Sandy Hook.
Newtown was ranked the fifth safest city in America by the website NeighborhoodScout.com based on 2011 crime statistics.
"This wonderful town that we all love for its peace, beauty, the great schools - all of that - has become Columbine," said Julie Maxwell Shull, a sixth-grade teacher at Reed Intermediate School, referring to the high school that was site of a 1999 shooting in Colorado.
"We came here because it was going to be a good, safe community for our kids, said Catherine Hunyadi, as she and her husband wiped tears from their eyes. "You don't send your kids to school thinking something like this might happen."
Obama on Saturday urged Americans to join in solidarity as they mourned the victims, saying the hearts of parents across the country were "heavy with hurt."
Obama, in his weekly radio and Internet address, called for "meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this," but stopped short of specifically calling for tighter gun-control laws.
The president wiped away tears in a television address on Friday, telling the nation, "Our hearts are broken."
The holiday season tragedy was the second shooting rampage in the United States this week and the latest in a series of mass killings this year.
It revived a debate about gun-control in a country with a flourishing firearms culture and a strong lobby that has discouraged most politicians from any major efforts to address the easy availability of guns and ammunition.
The death toll exceeded that of one of the most notorious U.S. school shootings, the 1999 rampage at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, where two teenagers murdered 13 students and staff before killing themselves.

Open Letter from Mike Lynch to HP's Board of Directors
Lynch to HP: 'Put Up or Shut Up'
By: Maureen O'Gara
Nov. 27, 2012 12:51 PM
Mike Lynch, the former CEO of Autonomy, wrote an open letter to HP Tuesday demanding the specifics behind its allegations last week that Autonomy's books were doctored and that HP was misled into buying the UK company for vastly more than it was ever worth.
He wants the documents HP turned over to the Securities and Exchange Commission and Britain's Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and he wants to know how HP derived the $8.8 billion write-off.
Here's the letter in full:
Open Letter from Dr Mike Lynch to the Board of Directors of Hewlett-Packard
27 November 2012
To: The Board of Directors of Hewlett-Packard Company
On 20 November Hewlett-Packard (HP) issued a statement accusing unspecified members of Autonomy's former management team of serious financial impropriety. It was shocking that HP put non-specific but highly damaging allegations into the public domain without prior notification or contact with me, as former CEO of Autonomy.
I utterly reject all allegations of impropriety.
Autonomy's finances, during its years as a public company and including the time period in question, were handled in accordance with applicable regulations and accounting practices. Autonomy's accounts were overseen by independent auditors Deloitte LLC, who have confirmed the application of all appropriate procedures including those dictated by the International Financial Reporting Standards used in the UK.
Having no details beyond the limited public information provided last week, and still with no further contact from you, I am writing today to ask you, the board of HP, for immediate and specific explanations for the allegations HP is making. HP should provide me with the interim report and any other documents which you say you have provided to the SEC and the SFO [the UK's Serious Fraud Office] so that I can answer whatever is alleged, instead of the selective disclosure of non-material information via background discussions with the media.
I believe it is in the interest of all stakeholders, and the public record, for HP to respond to a number of questions:
Hewlett Packard is an iconic technology company, which was historically admired and respected all over the world. Autonomy joined forces with HP with real hopes for the future and in the belief that together there was an opportunity to make HP great again. I have been truly saddened by the events of the past months, and am shocked and appalled by the events of the past week.
I believe it is in the best interests of all parties for this situation to be resolved as quickly as possible.
I am placing this letter in the public domain in the interests of complete transparency.
Yours faithfully,
Dr Mike Lynch

AP Business Writer
LONDON (AP) - Stocks eked out some gains Tuesday as investors all round the world prepared for a run of economic developments, particularly out of the U.S., that may determine how financial markets perform through the rest of the summer.
Though the U.S. Federal Reserve is not expected to announce any policy changes at the conclusion of its two-day meeting on Wednesday, investors will be monitoring a raft of economic data this week that could well influence expectations of a change in its monetary policy.
Tuesday's U.S. figures were in line with expectations and did little to alter the fairly placid market mood. Case-Shiller's report into the housing market in May showed further strength while the Conference Board's assessment of consumer confidence dipped slightly during July from the previous month's five-and-a-half-year high.
In Europe, Britain's FTSE 100 was up 0.3 percent to 6,578, while Germany's DAX rose 0.2 percent to 8,276. The CAC-40 in France was 0.5 percent higher at 3,990.
In the U.S., the Dow Jones industrial average was up 0.2 percent at 15,559 while the broader S&P 500 index rose 0.3 percent to 1,690.
The buying was quite restrained given what lies ahead.
"There is clearly an element of caution in the markets though, which is unsurprising given some of the events still to come this week," said Craig Erlam, market analyst at Alpari.
The key question in the markets is when the Fed will start reducing its monetary stimulus as it has indicated. Many investors think it could come as soon as September though they doubt the Fed will signal that on Wednesday. The Fed is currently buying $85 billion in Treasury and mortgage bonds a month in a move that has kept long-term rates near record lows and supported economic recovery.
Over the rest of the week, investors will have the monthly manufacturing survey from the Institute for Supply Management to digest, the first estimate of second-quarter U.S. economic growth, as well as a run of payroll surveys, notably Friday's official nonfarm payrolls report for July.
The dollar is also fairly flat ahead of the data dump over the rest of the week. The euro was 0.2 percent lower at $1.3240 despite an earlier survey showing economic confidence in the 17-country eurozone up at a 15-month high. The European Commission's headline economic sentiment indicator rose to 92.5 in July from the previous month's 91.3 in another sign that the eurozone may be emerging from recession.
Meanwhile, the dollar rose 0.2 percent to 98.10 yen. On Monday, the dollar fell to a month-low of 97.61 yen and that weighed heavily on Japanese stocks - a stronger yen could make the country's exporters more expensive and hurt their fortunes.
The Nikkei 225 index recovered some of Monday's retreat, closing 1.5 percent higher at 13,869.82 despite a drop in industrial output for June. The Economy Ministry said manufacturing slipped 3.3 percent from the month before in June and was 4.8 percent lower than a year before.
While the data underscored the fragility of Japan's economic recovery, it also could provide further argument in favor of the aggressive steps taken by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to rejuvenate the moribund economy.
Elsewhere in Asia, South Korea's Kospi advanced 0.9 percent to 1,917.05 while Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 0.5 percent to 21,953.96. Mainland Chinese shares were mixed.
Oil prices drifted lower, with the benchmark New York rate down 91 cents at $103.64 a barrel.

Will a Wonder Woman TV series ever get off the ground? The CW isn't giving up yet.
The network had been developing a pilot called "Amazon" about teenaged Diana (think "Smallville's" pre-Superman Clark Kent), but the series was passed over for the CW's fall lineup.
When asked Thursday if the warrior princess could still come to the CW, network President Mark Pedowitz said, "Oh God, yes!
"It is being redeveloped," he said. "We're waiting for the script to come in. We have not seen it yet. We are preparing to pilot it off-cycle should the script be what we want it to be."
Pedowitz said that although "the basics" were all there, the execution was lacking.
"We do not want to do something that doesn't work for that particular character," he said. "It's the trickiest of all the DC characters to get right."
Allan Heinberg ("The O.C.," "Young Avengers" comics), who wrote the "Amazon" script, is no longer on the project. Aron Eli Coleite ("Heroes," "Ultimate X-Men" comics) is writing the current draft.
The CW put out a casting call earlier this summer for "Amazon's" young heroine under the codename "Iris," calling for a leading lady 5'8″ or taller, who "comes from a remote, secluded country and until now has spent most of her life as a soldier and a leader on the battlefield."
"Because of relentless brutality of her life at home, Iris looks at our world with absolute awe and astonishment," the casting call continued. "She has no social filter, does not suffer fools, and tends to do and say exactly what's on her mind at all times. She's bluntly, refreshingly honest. She can tell when you're lying to her. And she doesn't have time or patience for politics or tact because she's too busy trying to experience everything our world has to offer. There are too many sights to see — and things to learn — and people to care for. Hers is a true, noble, and generous heart. And she will fight and die for the people she loves. Iris is a fierce warrior with the innocent heart of a romantic and she will fight to the death to make the world safe for innocents and true romantics everywhere."
Doesn't sound so "tricky" to us.
The CW project follows David E. Kelley's failed NBC pilot, which would have seen Adrianne Palicki wielding Wonder Woman's lasso of truth. The CW is already home to "Arrow," another DC superhero show, as well as other YA hits "Supernatural," "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Vampire Diaries."
Of course, if the CW series makes it to the small screen, it won't be Wonder Woman's first foray into television. Lynda Carter famously played the character in the 1970s "Wonder Woman" TV series, twirling to transform from Diana Prince to her crime-fighting alter ego Wonder Woman.
Is the time right for a Wonder Woman TV series? Who should play the Amazon princess? And is she really the "trickiest" of DC's heroes? Also, click through the gallery above for a look at some of Wonder Woman's memorable iterations.

Cambridge could be the recipient of $100,000 annually if the state grants Wynn Resorts Limited a license to operate a casino in Everett, according to an agreement signed April 22.
The Massachusetts Gaming Commission agreed to designate Cambridge as a "surrounding community" in March after the casino operator refused to do so voluntarily, according to Lee Gianetti, communications director for Cambridge City Hall. Gianetti said the two parties reached an agreement within 30 days, meaning they would not have to face arbitration.
The city had already reached a deal in late January with the competing casino operator, Mohegan Sun, which voluntarily gave Cambridge the surrounding communities designation and agreed to an annual payment of $50,000, along with promises to help promote the tourism industry in Harvard Square. Both agreements contribute money towards traffic mitigation and public safety.
"Putting aside the specific commitments in the agreements, the opportunity to build a working relationship with the applicants will serve as an important tool for Cambridge when dealing with future concerns or opportunities that may arise, regardless of which applicant is awarded the resort-casino license," said City Manager Richard Rossi.
Only the agreement associated with the casino license awarded by the state gaming commission, either Wynn or Mohegan Sun, will go into effect, Rossi said. He emphasized the agreements do not reflect a preference for one proposal over another, nor are they a reflection of support for gaming in general.
"The agreements were negotiated to protect the city�s interests in the event that a license is awarded to either of the two applicants," Gianetti said.
The Wynn agreement does have a provision obligating Cambridge�s assistance in obtaining "any and all permits, certifications, legislation or regulatory approvals from governmental entities and officials." In exchange, city officials, with the help of Wynn, will "exercise best efforts" in obtaining surrounding communities funds from the gaming commission if funds become available under the gaming act.
The Wynn agreement commits $25,000 annually for a broad range of efforts aimed at promoting Cambridge local businesses, tourism, and hotels within the city; $25,000 annually to support non-profits; $50,000 annually to support public safety and water transportation infrastructure; and a one-time payment of $200,000 for a traffic study of the Land Boulevard and O�Brien Highway intersection, which city officials said would be detrimentally impacted by the resort, if built.
The agreement also serves as a broad framework for addressing job opportunities for Cambridge residents, Gianetti said, including developing training programs in customer service, and establishing internship possibilities for students at the Rindge School of the Technical Arts. Likewise, Gianetti said, the Mohegan Sun agreement is a broad framework for promoting job opportunities, expanding local tourism and business opportunities, and tackling traffic issues.

Cambridge to receive $100K annually if Wynn Casino approved
