Since working with my current colleague, who has lovely penmanship, I've started writing in cursive again. It was terrible and wobbly at first, but now seems to flow more easily.ReplyDelete
And is beautiful to look at.Replies
Oh do put it on your blog and share with us LouLouDelete
Will your colleague give lessons?

And the French take handwriting analysis very seriously too. I worked at Cartier in New York during the epoch when lie detector tests were outlawed during the employment application process (lie detector tests were a once common feature of the application process especially for jewelry and retail operations). I was in charge of finding a graphologist in Manhattan who could scrutinize the handwritten forms that prospective workers filled out -- it was totally Standard Operating Procedure on the Mother Ship in the Place Vendome.ReplyDelete
I talked with a lot of graphologists back then and since that time I've been very keen on peeking into friends' and strangers' psyche thru their handwriting.
Whatever you do, watch out how you cross your Ts. Very telling.Replies
Goodness, those St Tropeziennes look delicious. You have such an eagle eye – I had never noticed this cursive French text before, but now you mention it, it's everywhere.ReplyDelete
It is my nature:) To write like that..I can change handwriting:) People remark..and I often make it look more artsy..messy..we learned with lines..I loved that..we never learned to print..Right away..cursive..ReplyDelete
My mom wrote like me..If I write messy..Ia m trying to be w/ it:)
You write very well ..it will come..I would trade my handwriting for your painting skills:)
I know about the t's also:)Low and high...
I love that handwriting as well & bought an exercise book for it in France. But I haven't had the patience to practice. Uh oh, what does it mean if you don't cross your t's?ReplyDelete
Ah, l'ecriture! Did teachers and parents EVER give us poor French school children a hard time over this! Sheesh. Well, apparently, it was not in vain and some of us might even get their art displayed on blogs such as yours, Carol :-) On another note, I am proud to announce that I have just posted photos of French desserts that *almost* look as good as your Lenotre Charlotte aux fraises... almost! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)ReplyDelete
love the way that egg yoke building looks!!ReplyDelete
Sure I can! In Norway all kids learn this way of handwriting during elementary school, in addition to writing just small and big letters. It's called løkkeskrift, which basically means looped writing. Another fact; my french teacher told me that a lot of people are actually unable to read THIS KIND OF LETTERING, big letters like that, especially people from surten Asian countries. We had to be aware of that when we wrote on the blackboard during class, as there were people from so many different nationalities present. (Took a french course in Paris)ReplyDelete

merci beaucoup pour votre belle et amusant lettre "Paris Breakfast" quelle j'ai recette exactement pour le petit dejeuner ce matin :) parfait!ReplyDelete
I am intrigued by your difficulties avec l'ecriture francaise as here en Australie (Down-Under) we learnt-and still do although les ordinateurs mean it is used less-the cursive/running writing script at school and the French style is very similar to the way i write and even more so quelle de ma mere, so i was enchanted to see it in use everywhere in France. Sometimes i agree it is barely legible! lol
So my question is does that mean they only teach printing now in American schools?
J'espere que vous avez un bon sejour a Maine et les homards sont delicieux!
Merci encore et je vous addresse mes meilleurs voeux :)
Thank you AnnabellaDelete
we have not taught script in US schools in maybe 100 years sadly
I was born in the wrong country..

'Birdsong' haunts us very slowly
"Masterpiece Classic's" two-part adaptation of Sebastian Faulks' World War I melodrama "Birdsong" (8 p.m. Sunday and April 29 on KUHT) is moving. Trouble is, the film moves so slowly, viewers may have a hard time sticking around for the tearful finale.
Eddie Redmayne ("My Week With Marilyn") stars as orphaned Stephen Wraysford who, at 20, spends a summer in 1910 working for factory owner René Azaire (Laurent Lafitte) and staying at his idyllic home in Amiens. There, he is instantly smitten with Azaire's young second wife, Isabelle (Clémence Poésy). Wraysford is remembering all of this several years later, when he is serving as a lieutenant in World War I.
We are aware that something has changed the young man from a callow innocent to an icily detached military officer, and clearly the answer is to be found in what happened between Stephen and Isabelle only a few years earlier.
At the Western Front, Wraysford supervises a group of men whose job is to dig tunnels to plant bombs under the German defenses. One young soldier is terrified of the confined space, and Wraysford calmly offers him the choice of being shot on the spot or going underground.
Wraysford's only friend is Capt. Michael Weir (Richard Madden), but it's not really much of a friendship. Weir shares some of his deepest thoughts with Wraysford but learns basically nothing about him. For his part, Wraysford spends time drawing faces of the men and, when they're ripped to shreds by mortars, clinical depictions of exposed muscle and gut.
The one person who somewhat dents Wraysford's emotional armor is a common ditch digger named Jack Firebrace (Joseph Mawle). Uncharacteristically, Wraysford lets him off the hook for a serious infraction, earning loyalty from the man in return and, in the end, a reminder of the true purpose of life.
Redmayne again proves himself an extraordinary young actor, especially because he is called upon to portray, in effect, two characters. There's the young, lovestruck boy that Stephen is in 1910 and the walled-up military man he becomes. Much of Stephen's transformation is conveyed not through dialogue but instead with silent stares and glares. In fact, a lot of Abi Morgan's ("The Iron Lady") script seems to consist of characters staring at each other, especially in the first half of the two-part film. Redmayne and Poésy stare convincingly.
The supporting cast members are equally fine, especially Mawle as the loyal soldier, missing his wife and ailing son back home. Other cast members include Matthew Goode as the efficiently dispassionate Capt. Gray, Anthony Andrews as the self-aggrandizing Col. Barclay, Madden's Weir and Marie-Josée Croze as Isabelle's sister, Jeanne.
As good as the performances are - and, indeed, they are superb in many ways - Philip Martin's direction, which replicates the book's flashback structure to some extent but drops the framing device of having Stephen's granddaughter piece together details of the story in modern times, is an odd and sometimes unnerving combination of being hypnotically slow and peripatetic at the same time.
It's like watching the proverbial tennis match but in exaggerated slow motion. Back and forth we volley from war scenes to Stephen and Isabelle's summer of love, while an especially monotonous piano soundtrack by Nicholas Hooper plays with all the unnerving insistence of a dripping faucet in the background. There are times in the three-hour film when a war scene just begins to gain traction, and we're suddenly back in the sunny French countryside - and everyone's staring again. All well and good when these detours down memory lane add something to the plot, but some of them just seem to remind us that Stephen was once young and optimistic, and now he isn't.
Got it. Let's move on.
Often, the willingness of British filmmakers to take their time to allow a story to unfold at a more natural pace than their American counterparts is praiseworthy. That's not quite the case with "Birdsong," but in the end, the power of its message and the truth of its emotional structure pay off handsomely.

Backlogs of work needing to be done is a consistent challenge in Wikipedia. One of them is the backlog of articles needing review , which when ACTRIAL started contained more than 14,000 articles; the issue of keeping up with the influx of articles being created was arguably one of the motivations for the trial. During the trial, this backlog has been reduced considerably, mainly accomplished during a backlog drive from mid-December through January. Prior to and after that drive, there were long periods of general stability in the backlog. Typically, patrolling work is in balance with the influx of articles being reviewed, something we also find is the case for the first part of the trial (related measure of Hypothesis 9 [h 10] ).
For the Draft namespace, we see a significant increase in page creations together with an increase in submissions to AfC (Hypothesis 16
[h 11]
). We see indications that people reviewing Articles for Creation struggle with keeping up; their
backlog of pending reviews
increases more rapidly during the first two months of ACTRIAL than any previous period in our dataset (Hypothesis 17
Francesco Russo cutout laceup sandals discount authentic online YFSPC
). They continue to be "severely backlogged", per the description of their backlog on the AfC project page.
This shift of content creation from the article to the Draft namespace is worrisome. Previous research [4] has shown that the AfC process is not as collaborative as creating content in the article namespace. It's problematic if Wikipedia derails contributions by new users into a space where collaboration does not happen, leaving the newcomer to figure everything out on their own.

Multiple indicators point to a significantly lower influx of unencyclopedic content in the article (Main) namespace. Some of this content appears to be created in the Draft namespace. For articles passing our "encyclopedic content" criteria, there is not a significant change in quality. We also find that articles do not gain quality more rapidly during their first 30 days since creation. In other words, ACTRIAL appears to be successful in reducing the creation of low-quality articles that would typically have been deleted.

" S.A.V.E. has demonstrated how a collaboration of municipalities, organizations and individuals can work together to accomplish a common purpose. Our great lake drives our passion and our future and deserves our very best. We are committed to its future and using our recent success in going forward."
– S.A.V. E.'s Honorary Chairman, Lake George Mayor Bob Blais
Comprised of municipal leaders, conservation groups, and researchers, the S.A.V.E. (Stop Aquatic inVasives from Entering) Lake George Partnership was formed in late 2012 in response to the urgent need for a mandatory invasives prevention program. Prevention is widely viewed as the only way to protect the Lake–and a regional economy closely tied to its pristine waters–from the mounting invasives threat.
"The stakes could not be higher and the historic opportunity to save Lake George will slip from our hands unless we all act now."
– Supervisor Ron Conover, Town of Bolton
began its efforts by forging a

declaring the need for "a new mandatory boat inspection and decontamination program for Lake George…" A chief concern identified in the MOU was the "grave and imminent threat from aquatic invasive species, including Quagga mussels, that can spread when they are in juvenile, microscopic form, and are highly transportable by boats in engine waters, bilge waters, ballast waters, live well waters and anchors, as well as live bait containers."
The agreement's principal aim was a permanent program "to protect the water quality and public enjoyment of Lake George to the maximum extent practicable by proactively preventing the introduction of new aquatic invasive species." The MOU also made clear the need to work in active partnership with the State of New York.
"When we come to the table, we are business owners and environmentalists, Democrats and Republicans, we are a partnership with diverse interests who all share a stake in the fate of these Adirondack lakes. We dare not delay any longer. Our economic and environmental well-being depends on our working together to stop these invasive species in their tracks."
-Former Queensbury Supervisor and founding S.A.V.E. member Bill Mason
E.'s potent voice and commitment to paying half the cost of the mandatory prevention program (with the other half paid by New York State) led to formal adoption of the mandatory prevention program by the Lake George Park Commission in January 2014.

The Cowboys played lights out in New York on Sunday - literally. The new $1.6 billion stadium lost power entirely for a few seconds that plunged the entire stadium into blackness and caused a delay to the game for several minutes until enough power could be restored to sufficiently light the field.
It was likely a small advantage to the Cowboys though since they have been playing in the dark for most of the year.
In what could easily be the worst day at the Cowboys headquarters, last Monday saw the firing of HC Wade Phillips and OC Jason Garrett was promoted to interim head coach. It was a day of tense, painful revelations and tough but necessary actions by Jerry Jones. Knowing that changes were in the winds, many of you checked out the Cowboys team web site which is the #2 most popular football site behind only NFL.com. But it was down. Did not work.
Of course it could have been the crush of traffic that brought it down but that wasn't it. It could have been that the Cowboys were making changes on the site to reflect the new coaching situation but that wasn't it. On the worst day in recent Cowboys history, the web site was down because coincidentally someone had forgotten to pay the bill to renew the URL dallascowboys.com. Wade may not have been the only person there looking for an empty box last Monday.
Have to imagine at some cubicle at Valley Ranch a sweating network administrator spent 30 minutes tapping the refresh key while muttering "Dear God, not today. Not today. Come one baby... Not today..."
1. Have to love the Patriots when it comes to fantasy football. They have long been indecipherable when it comes to running backs and now that Randy Moss is gone, the wideouts are hard to predict. Last week Aaron Hernandez had five catches for 48 yards and two touchdowns (one was from a carom shot). But he has been solid with 30 to 60 yards per week and finally Brady started to connect with him in the endzone. Rob Gronkowski had scored in three games but only had more than one catch per game three times this year. So naturally this week Aaron Hernandez had three passes thrown to him with no catches - two were long passes. And Rob Gronkowski merely ended with five catches for 72 yards and three touchdowns. Will that earn him a big role next week? Roll them dice, baby...
2. Have to be impressed with the new quarterbacks this season. Sam Bradford may already have the Offensive Rookie of the Year sewn up but Colt McCoy is doing more with less against a far tougher schedule. His first start was against the Steelers when he passed for 281 yards and one score. Then he had lower games against the Saints and Patriots because both were Cleveland wins and he never had a turnover and did as much as the team needed to win. Yesterday McCoy passed for 205 yards and one score on the Jets and took them to overtime for almost the entire 15 minutes with no turnovers. McCoy is making do with little more than Peyton Hillis and Ben Watson as receivers. He should change his name to McGyver.
3. What to think about Dwayne Bowe? We all expected his great showings against the Texans and Jaguars. We were slightly surprised when he scored against the Bills since they were so easy to rush against. And he also scored on the Raiders but CB Nnamdi Asomugha was injured and his 5-63 with one touchdown was an understandable aberration. But in Denver, facing almost entirely Champ Bailey, Bowe walks away with 13 catches for 186 yards and two touchdowns? The Broncos were playing prevent from about the second quarter onward but 13 catches? No other player had more than five. That makes Bowe scoring eight times in just the last five weeks. He is a must start from now on. Even when it doesn't make sense. Fortunately, next week is when the Cardinals come to Kansas City so you will not require any second thoughts.
4. While it will not be like Sunday every week, Fred Jackson looks a little more attractive in a fantasy sense. He gained 133 yards and a score on 25 carries against the Lions and added six catches for 37 yards and a second touchdown. But just as important was that C.J. Spiller suffered what is feared to be a significant hamstring injury which means Jackson is going to get a heavier load until he gets back. He'll play in Cincy next week but then host the Steelers. But his role as a receiver will help prop up his stats if Spiller ends up gone for more than a week or two.
5. I have to give credit where credit is due. Jerricho Cotchery intentionally screwed me was a noncontributor to one of my teams in week nine when I tried to cure a bye week problem. But props to him in week 10 (when I had already dropped him) when he caught three passes for 43 yards and one score. It was that final catch on third-and-nine from the NYJ 37-yard line in overtime that gained ten yards and a first down. You watch the entire clip over at NFL.com where it is the seventh video listed from the top. Cotchery went over the middle on a pattern and pulled up lame with a groin pull. He hopped on one foot eight times in pain but the pass was thrown from a scrambling Sanchez and Cotchery dove and stretched to make the improbable catch. I'd like to think a painful groin pull would not result in me falling to the ground where I would look like I was in a drunked seizure (though I would not guarantee it). I would doubt I could then dive and make a fingertip catch.
6. Here is a perfect example of the sort of year we are having. The four highest scoring teams this week were Denver (49-29), Seattle (36-18), Dallas (33-20) and New England (39-26). Gosh, how are these alike? How about each one was not favored to win the game. And each one came off being beaten if not favored in their last game- Denver (16-24 vs SF, 14-59 vs OAK the week before), Seattle (7-41 vs. NYG and 3-33 against OAK the week before), Dallas (7-45 @GB and 17-35 vs. JAC the week before), and New England (14-34 @ CLE). What ever happened to consistency? In the case of the Broncos, Seahawks and Cowboys - now what are we supposed to think? Where was that level of play before? I guess just take the most improbable win and then reverse the score you expect.
7. One of the biggest disappointments on Sunday was Jahvid Best who has been getting incrementally better in recent weeks both with the number of carries and his role as a receiver. Best faced the Bills this week and their #31 ranked defense against running backs and yet could only gain 35 yards on 17 carries and added four catches for just four yards. Maybe next year, Jahvid. 2010 is a disappointment after a hot start for the two weeks opening the season and he won't take the next step even when it should be easy.
8. It is looking more like Mike Wallace could end up sneaking into the top ten wideouts next year. He had already scored in three of the four games that Ben Roethlisberger had started and gained 296 yards in those (74 yard average). But against the Patriots, Wallace added 8 receptions for 136 yards and two more touchdowns. Much of that came when Hines Ward was forced from the game when Wallace had even more attention by the secondary.
9. Open question - what happens when the Vikings lose another game and at 3-7 have to realize that the playoffs are not going to happen? Listening to Brett Favre post game interviews are pretty painful but what will he have to play for when it is so obvious that even Brad Childress admits all is lost? Will they continue to play Favre and if so, why? After spending millions to lure Favre back, would they have the cajones to bench him? Favre sounds like a short-timer working for a company about to go out of business. Then again, maybe they should just fire Childress. Look how that worked for the Cowboys.
10. Roddy White, Calvin Johnson and Andre Johnson. How is it that any of the three are not double covered in every game? Heck, all things considered, devoting three defenders to each probably would not hurt. It just never fails to amaze me at the end of games how open those three wide receivers sometimes get.
Matt Cassel - Playing in the shadow of Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones means plenty of handoffs and not as many passes but when the Chiefs went to Denver they found themselves ambushed and behind 21-0 before they even knew what hit them. That left the running backs with a season low 20 carries to share and yet Cassel threw 53 passes and completed 33 for 469 yards and four scores thanks in no small part to Denver giving up the shorter throws. It was a game that happened on many benches since Cassel's previous best was only 250 yards. For teams covering a bye week - it was sweet.
Huddle Fantasy Points = 130
Huddle Fantasy Points = 26
Apparently Denver figured out whatever it was that Oakland did there a few weeks ago because they did it to the Chiefs. And the Chiefs were unappreciative since the coaches did not shake hands after the game. Matt Cassel had a career game with 469 yards and four touchdowns and remarkably Dwayne Bowe (13-186, 2 TD) had few problems with Champ Bailey though in fairness the Broncos were ahead so far and so early that Denver backed up the defense and allowed a lot of underneath stuff. Jamaal Charles only had 41 rush yards but added 80 yards on five receptions along with one touchdown. Kyle Orton passed for 296 yards and four scores and may have never even broken a sweat it all went so well. Brandon Lloyd scored twice on his six catches for 90 yards and Jabar Gaffney (3-57) scored once along with Knowshon Moreno had had 50 yards on three catches and then 106 yards on 22 runs. The win ends a four game losing streak for the Broncos while the 5-4 Chiefs are now TIED WITH THE RAIDERS FOR THE AFC WEST LEAD... wow. Imagine that.
What? Huh?
Actually some of the times when a team fires a head coach in mid-season, the team responds with a big game the next week. Doesn't always happen but it is not unprecedented. Then that team falls back to a more normal way of playing. The Cowboys came out and played inspired and emotional football while the Giants were the ones that looked lethargic and out of synch. Jon Kitna passed for 327 yards and three scores that split up between Dez Bryant (3-104), Miles Austin (2-68) and even Felix Jones (3-85). As a sign of how big an aberration this game was, the Cowboys out rushed the Giants 98 to 90 yards. Eli Manning passed for 373 yards and two scores but had two interceptions including one returned for a TD. Mario Manningham replaced Steve Smith and ended with 10 receptions for 91 yards and one score while Hakeem Nicks settled for 82 yards on five receptions with two drops. Kevin Boss (5-81) also scored in one of his rare good games. The win gives the Cowboys a reason to live for while the Giants drop to 6-3 but still sit atop the NFC East.
Another wacky week with the highest scoring teams coming off embarrassing losses (if not several) and plenty of upsets all around the league. In the morning games, only the Jets managed to win on the road and that required overtime. In the afternoon, all but one of the road teams won and most of those were the underdogs.
It was a week of many upsets and surprise big games. The Bills finally won. The 49ers have won 3 of the last 4. The entire AFC East won their last game and all of the AFC North are coming off a loss.
It's just a parity fueled season with inconsistent play and teams that change from good to bad to good to bad on almost a weekly basis. But we had plenty of points and two overtime games. The two of the three last week ended 23-20 and the other went off 24-27. This week was another 23-20 and one was 26-20 only because of the touchdown catch by Santonio Holmes or it would have again been 20-23. What is it about 20-20 as the most common tied score at the end of regulation?
The Game-o-the-week is a great one. You knew it would be a fantasy nirvana when the Texans visited the Jaguars. What we didn't know was how it would end.
Texans 24, Jaguars 31
This game started innocuously enough with both teams driving deeply into the other's team territory and then settling for a field goal. It wasn't until ten minutes remained in the second quarter that the Jaguars would get the ball near midfield on a punt. They then ran Maurice Jones-Drew seven of eight plays with only one Rashad Jennings carry. Jones-Drew ended with a three-yard touchdown jaunt for the 10-3 lead.
The Texans could not advance the ball beyond their own 30-yard line and with two minutes left to play, they punted to the JAC 45-yard line where four plays later they were on the HOU 9-yard line with 42 seconds left to play. On first down, Jones-Drew ran in the score for the 17-3 halftime advantage.
Things changed in the second half when the Texans took the opening possession 80 yards for a Arian Foster 1-yard touchdown run up the middle. Andre Johnson had a 60 yard catch that ended at the JAC 6-yard line on that possession. The score was 10-17 but would not last long when the Jaguars could do nothing with the kickoff and punted to the HOU 20-yard line.
The Texans mixed passes to Andre Johnson and David Anderson to reach the JAC 9-yard line where Johnson caught the touchdown on first down. With 5:17 left in the third quarter, the score was knotted at 17-17.
The Jaguars got fired up and drove from their own 20-yard line and reached the HOU 21-yard line when the first play of the fourth quarter saw Josh Scobee miss a 39-yard field goal attempt.
But the Texans could only reach the JAC 46 yard line before Matt Schaub fumbled and while it was recovered by Houston, it lost 12 yards and the Texans punted. That gave the Jaguars the ball on their own 13-yard line with 12:50 left to play. After eight plays reached the JAC 43-yard line, it was fourth-and-one with 7:08 left to play. Would you go for it? The Jaguars did. David Garrard gained five yards to get the first down and then hit Zach Miller on the next play for a 52-yard touchdown and the 24-17 lead with only 7:08 left to play.
But the Texans came to play and they took over on their own 20-yard line. A pass to Johnson covered 19 yards. A couple of runs gained nine yards and then a pass interference call on the defense trying to cover Johnson (can you blame them?) brought the ball all the way down to the 18-yard line. Schaub hit Kevin Walter for the score but it was called incomplete. Gary Kubiak challenged and won giving the 18-yard touchdown to Walter for the 24-24 tie.
With 4:14 left to play, the Jaguars took over on their 20-yard line. A pass to Marcedes Lewis and an end-around run by Mike Thomas combined for 33 yards to the HOU 47-yard line. Another pass to Thomas reached the HOU 30-yard line at the two minute mark. But a holding call on the next play moved the ball back and on fourth and five from the HOU 25-yard line, the Jaguars kicked the go-ahead field goal with 1:39 remaining in the game. Only Scobee missed another one.
Only 1:34 left to play and the Texans began on their own 33-yard line. Schaub hit a couple of short passes to the JAC 47-yard line. Then he found Walter for seven yards to the JAC 40 yard line with 35 seconds left to play. A penalty on the next play moved it back to the 45 yard line where Schaub threw an incompletion. All he needed to do with 22 seconds left was to complete anything to make a shorter field goal attempt for the win. And he did - Joel Dreessen gained eight yards but was stripped of the ball and it was recovered by the Jaguars at the JAC 34-yard line.
There was only eight seconds left on the clock. The Jaguars were at home that always favors in overtime games. And most coaches love that safe route. But sometimes, thankfully, you have to try anyway and if you play to win, you play to win on every play. Garrard connected with Lewis for an 11 yard gain before Lewis scooted out of bounds. With three seconds left, the defense was offsides and moved the ball to the midfield stripe.
One play. Three seconds.
All the tall "hands guys" already waiting down by the goal line.
Jaguars send a triangle of receivers down the left side with Sims-Walker getting there first (and getting interfered with though not called). Lewis and Thomas showed up a split second later right when the bomb from Garrard arrived in the endzone and a leaping defender batted it down. Not straight down though, more of a 45 degrees down right into the hands of Mike Thomas who incredibly had the reaction time to catch it with his finger tips and step into the endzone for the win.
Sure, that play happens in every game if not at the end of every half. And it never works. At least almost never. But sometimes a team with only three seconds left to play doesn't want to play the averages and take the safe route. And it works.
It is a week to week league these days and many fantasy leagues even mirror the parity of it all with a scarcity of any teams with only one or two losses.
I've learned important things this past week. Like never getting comfortable with what teams are "good" or "bad". That if there is any time on that clock - if only a one second - I can still go for the win and take the chance on a long pass.
But most importantly?
Making sure TheHuddle.com domain name is not up for renewal this week.
Now get back to work...

When Ryan Fattman announced his candidacy for the State House in early April, he said he promised himself he would express his gratitude to the voters in each of the 18th Worcester District's five towns regardless of the outcome.
When Ryan Fattman announced his candidacy for the State House in early April, he said he promised himself he would express his gratitude to the voters in each of the 18th Worcester District's five towns regardless of the outcome.
Yesterday afternoon, Fattman made good on his pledge, holding up a "Thank You" sign at Khoury Plaza in Bellingham Center after making stops in Sutton and Uxbridge earlier in the day. He intended to visit Blackstone and Millville later.
"That was a commitment I made to myself in the beginning," said Fattman, who added he got just two hours of sleep Tuesday night. "There were a certain number of things I wanted to hold myself accountable for. The most important was getting out to all the towns and thanking people."
On Tuesday, Fattman defeated veteran state Rep. Jennifer Callahan, D-Sutton, winning all five towns in the district. Fattman will officially begin his new job in the state House of Representatives in January.
The Sutton selectman said it was not until he heard he had won Bellingham that his victory became real.
Throughout the campaign, Fattman said he expected the race to come down to Bellingham, but he originally didn't have high expectations for a win after conducting a poll in May that had him down 20 percent to Callahan.
"Everyone in my campaign didn't want a poll, they didn't want to spend the money," Fattman said. "But I kept pushing for it because I wanted a tangible number to be able to measure what I needed to do."
So from May until Tuesday, Fattman did everything he needed to do to win, which included visiting 6,000 homes.
And even when he was getting calls at 6:45 p.m. Tuesday from people telling him he was going to win, he didn't want to believe it.
"It wasn't until the actual numbers came in that I was going to say 'We've won,' " Fattman said.
Fattman said he is grateful for the work of his campaign staff and volunteers, who are a big reason why he could stand in Bellingham Center yesterday with a smile on his face.
"I'm very, very proud of the campaign we ran," Fattman said. "We worked very hard. It was the people behind this campaign who made it happen."
Since he was declared the winner, Fattman said he has received more than 300 e-mails and more than 100 posts on his Facebook page from people congratulating him.
Callahan said she, too, has received hundreds of e-mails from people across the district, wishing her the best.
"It has been incredible," Callahan said. "And I just want to thank the people of my district for having placed their confidence in me. It means the world to me."
While she understands and respects the decision the district's voters made Tuesday, Callahan said it is not going to stop her from being a strong, independent voice for them in her last two months in office.
"I did my very, very best," Callahan said. "And I have always put myself out there for the people of this district."

Born: 1/7/92, Orleans, Ontario

Canada (U18 WJC), 6 GP, 0-1-1, +2, 4 PIM
Just before the U18 World Junior Championships it appeared Kingston blueliner Erik Gudbranson had managed to pull away from his fellow blueliners as the top rated defenseman in his class despite a draft season where he was hampered by a bout of mono and an early knee injury. However, after a poor U18 tournament in which most of the Canadian team struggled, he's fallen back into the pack. Unlike his biggest competition, though, Cam Fowler and Brandon Gormley, Gudbranson has a legendary mean streak and will never be accused of being soft. Gudbranson loves to take the body and on the rare occassion he drops the gloves he tends to handle his business. He's an above average skater with a hard shot, but he's only put up modest numbers to this point in his junior career, with just 2 goals and 23 points in 41 games last season for the Frontenacs. Some scouts see visions of late blooming Dion Phaneuf in Gudbranson, but whatever team takes Gudbranson will undoubtedly be making a gamble that his offensive game will develop. The team that takes him could just as well be ending up with a right handed version of Mike Komisarek instead. That's a gamble the Lightning may be willing to make. On paper, as a physically imposing righty shot, Gudbranson would be the perfect complement to the more finesse lefty shot of Victor Hedman, freeing up the big Swede to be more of an offensive force in Guy Boucher's 1-3-1 system. In the past two drafts the team has lucked out in getting the best prospect for their immediate needs, and in this draft Gudbranson probably wins that title. However, it's doubtful the team will get lucky enough to secure Gudbranson's rights because it's hard to believe he'll slip past the Islanders at five, if he even makes it that far. If he were to slip to the sixth pick, though, the Lightning might pounce on him as quickly as a lion on an antelope. Alternatively, if Gudbranson does slip and is the last of the top three defensemen remaining, the club may be able to demand a ransom to trade down with another team that has blueline needs.

University of Maryland University College's curriculum draws a lot of applicants
Times are hard and jobs are scarce, but cybersecurity is a growth industry, and the bachelor's and master's degree programs offered for the first time this fall by the University of Maryland University College are attracting hundreds of applicants, the school said.
The school did not provide specific numbers but said the applications are pouring in.
The University of Maryland announced the programs earlier this year in response to efforts to establish the university as a cybersecurity hub. The state already is the home of the National Security Agency and newly created Cyber Command, which is expected to create more than 20,000 military and civilian cybersecurity jobs.
The university created the degree programs with input from industry to provide practical and theoretical training. The bachelor's degree in cybersecurity will require 120 credits, including 33 credits of coursework in the major, and students can take the courses online or through a combination of online study and on-site instruction. Master's degrees are available in cybersecurity and cybersecurity policy, each of which will require 36 credits of coursework offered through six six-credit online courses. Students also must complete internship programs.

I am in the Cyber Security program at UMUC and the professors are professionals that work for D.O.D or NSA or NASA. These men and women no what they are talking about. Because I rather have someone teach me something that they work best at than to have someone that has a ph.d in the field or research. Cyber Security is for non and experienced professionals in the field of IT. Get Smart folks.
Editor's Note: The program is run by UMUC – University of Maryland University College, which, despite the similar name and location, is separate from the U of Md. You can get info on the program at http://www.umuc.edu/spotlight/cybersecurity.shtml
response to Lori in Baltimore - University of Maryland University College is not the same as University of Maryland. You need to go to umuc.edu, not umd.edu
I've done a quick search on the University's website, and could not find information on this program. Do you have a link to the UMD.edu site that provides information on the program?
What's the profile of the teachers ? Are they experienced infosec professionals / penetration testers / hackers ?

SANTA CLARA, CA - Playing their first match in the month of April, Vancouver Whitecaps FC (2W-1L-2D) suffered their first defeat of the 2012 Major League Soccer season after a 3-1 loss at Western Conference rivals San Jose Earthquakes (4W-1L-0D) on Saturday afternoon.
In what was an eventful Easter weekend clash in Northern California, all the goals came in the second half, with Sebastien Le Toux giving Whitecaps FC the lead before San Jose claimed a third-straight league victory with three goals in 10 minutes. Chris Wondolowski equalized and added an insurance goal for the Earthquakes, while substitute Alan Gordon scored the match winner for the home side at Buck Shaw Stadium. Today's defeat ends Whitecaps FC's unbeaten run to start the season at four matches, though they earned the consolation of setting a new MLS record for consecutive minutes without allowing a goal to start a season at 427 minutes.
"I thought we looked really comfortable and never at any point felt in danger after we scored," said Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie. "Yet, from nowhere in a short space of time, we switched off and we've lost three goals and lost the game. It's really hard to believe. There are lots to build on and I have no doubt that we'll come back strong. The feeling of losing is something you can't be scared of. You just have to use it to motivate you to get better."
Rennie made two changes for Saturday's game, bringing Gershon Koffie back into the 'Caps midfield for Matt Watson, while Budweiser Man of the Match Eric Hassli replaced the suspended Atiba Harris in the Vancouver attack. Former Canadian international Frank Yallop gave ex-Whitecaps FC winger Shea Salinas a start in midfield for San Jose.
A beautiful spring afternoon drew a sold-out crowd of 10,525 to the campus of Santa Clara University, and they saw Whitecaps FC look more dangerous with their attacking movement in the opening 45 minutes, especially in the San Jose half. Hassli was determined to test Earthquakes goalkeeper Jon Busch, having three efforts towards goal in the first half-hour of the contest. On 33 minutes, the big Frenchman turned provider with a well-placed cross to strike partner Le Toux, but his toe poke went straight to Busch.
The best chance of the half fell to Vancouver on 40 minutes, as Hassli and playmaker Davide Chiumiento had the San Jose backline scrambling in their own box. The loose ball fell kindly to John Thorrington, but his first-time finish struck the Earthquakes' crossbar before Chiumiento's overhead strike on the rebound was blocked away by San Jose centre back Victor Bernardez.
San Jose's best chance of the opening half fell to Salinas, who forced 'Caps goalkeeper Joe Cannon into an excellent save from his curling strike in stoppage time. It meant both clubs went to halftime in a goalless stalemate.
The breakthrough of goals was realized in the second half, and it was Whitecaps FC that looked favourites to find the back of the net multiple times right after the restart. They drew first blood on 49 minutes, as Le Toux scored his second goal of the season following a neat move in the San Jose box off Jordan Harvey's throw-in. Hassli neatly set up his fellow Frenchman to slot a first-time shot into the far corner of the Quakes goal for a 1-0 Vancouver lead.
The goal brought about an exciting spell of attacking play from Whitecaps FC, with Busch making key saves from Hassli's half-volleyed strike and Martin Bonjour at close range on 56 minutes. Two minutes later, the visitors made strong appeals for a penalty on Thorrington, who went down in the San Jose six-yard box, as he tried to connect with Hassli's dangerous cross.
Yet, just as Whitecaps FC seemed in the ascendency, San Jose stunned their Canadian opponents by turning the game around in their favour. With a new MLS shutout record set, a fifth-straight Vancouver clean sheet ended on 68 minutes, as Wondolowski caught Whitecaps FC napping from captain Ramiro Corrales' throw-in. The Earthquakes marksman got a step on the 'Caps defence before chipping Cannon at close range to make it 1-1. Then only four minutes after conceding for the first time this season, Vancouver found themselves behind. Corrales was the provider again, putting over a fine cross that Gordon expertly headed into the far corner of the net for San Jose's match winner.
In what became a nightmare 10-minute spell for the 'Caps, the Earthquakes secured all three points with a second goal from Wondolowski on 78 minutes. Substitute Tressor Moreno swung over a free kick that found the goalscorer unmarked at the far post. His first-time finish made it 3-1 and took Wondolowski's goalscoring total versus Whitecaps FC to five from three match-ups all-time.
Left in shock by the change of events, even a late set of chances could not turn the tide back Vancouver's way, as the final whistle confirmed a first league defeat in 2012 for Whitecaps FC. Rennie's side will return home and take an extended break before hosting in-form Sporting Kansas City on Bell Pitch at BC Place on Wednesday, April 18. San Jose, meanwhile, head east to face another in-form MLS side in New York Red Bulls next Saturday.

Sets legal: Up to and including Chrome City
Going into this tournament, my goal was to top 4. I knew that that was entirely possible, and once in the cut anything was possible, but I felt a little inexperienced in my corp deck (a feeling which changed over the course of the day). This is the first time I've written a report, so any comments are more than welcome.

This is just Andysucker turned up to 11. There's nothing much interesting to say – it's more parasite heavy than most but that's the only vaguely interesting feature, and it's a very old, tested archtype. With only 1 card (Rex) released after H&P, it's clearly not the most inspired of deck choices, but I'm really comfortable with it right now.

Cards up to Chrome City
Very similar to the deck that aandries won a US regional with, I netdecked that about a week before the event an played probably around 10 games with it online, changing an NAPD to an Oaktown. Having played Astrobiotics for a long time, and NBN in general since Future Proof was released, it was a little daunting for me to change so radically, but I knew that Astrobiotics was just too risky to play now due to clot. ITD only really got going in one game, but in that game it opened a large enough window for me to get to 6 – 0 pretty much unopposed.
Round 1 vs James Nowecki
James was running NEH and Quetzal, which was slightly worrying to me as Quetzal + e3 makes OAI a lot more risky, and I don't have clot. On top of this, we've played before and I've dropped games to him, so it wasn't the pairing I really wanted round 1.
Runner game:
An early access showed me a Biotic, which meant that he wasn't running butchershop and probably wasn't running grail. Knowing early that it was an astrobiotics deck allowed me to be much more aggressive, and there's nothing my Andy deck likes more than being aggressive. A few bad draws for him allowed me to steal a couple of astro's early, the second from a well-timed legwork,and with the train completely derailed it was a matter of time before R&D gave up the winning points.
Corp game:
I got my adonis bouncing going which gave me all the money I needed, and this was important because quetzal & David were stopping my oversight shenanigans. His early facechecking earned him a lot of lost credits from Tollbooth and Datapike, and I think that I may have gained from a Cad a couple of times as well. I removed his first david from the game with a chronos, which helped a lot, and his e3 only appeared late in the game also. Eater + cutlery were applying pressure, but once I found a crisium to put on R&D I felt fairly secure, and removing his Kati with a Snatch & Grab really won this game for me. Eventually, a server involving ash and tollbooth was enough to grind it out. I wasn't too comfortable through the game, mostly because of Quetzal's ability being constantly scary, but certainly wasn't really panicking at any point either.
2 – 0, 4 prestige
Round 2 vs Mark Withers
Mark was playing ETF glacier and Nasir, which was the first time I'd faced Nasir out of Blue Sun (not as bad as I'd feared, Ash is more than enough to make up for the ID being awkward).
Runner game:
Whilst I usually have a good matchup against ETF, Mark's deck was much more of a glacier than most, and the inclusion of ELP really hurts me given that I rely on sec testing for econ. On top of this, Andy didn't show me a desperado, or parasite, or enough breakers or econ – I drew pretty much all my run events without being able to do much with them. A few lucky accesses made it seem more of a game that it was, but really Mark was standing well for most of the game and closed it out well.
Corp game:
I hadn't ever played against Nasir with this deck, and this inexperience meant that I wasn't able to take advantage as much as I should have done – I didn't think until about half-way through that pre-rezzing ice with EBC was really something to be doing in this matchip. Having said that, Nasir's ability always keeping him poor meant that tollbooth was a big pain, and I got an ITD up to 6 or 7 behind it. Whilst Mark was trying to take the ITD out, I managed to roll through an Oaktown and 2 NAPDS, meaning that all I needed was to sneak an atlas through for the win. Mark did eventually kill ITD with an atman at 5 and a datasucker going, but it really cost him too much and I was able to stay in control to sneak through an Atlas to take the game.
3 – 1, 6 Prestige.
Round 3 vs Andy Parsons
At this point of the tournament, Andy was the sole leader on 7, with a lot of us on 6. I was glad to get the upfloat partly because it meant that catching Andy was now in my control, and also because I have a very good record against him both in tournaments and friendly games. He was playing Noise and ETF, a departure from his normal Gabe.
Corp game:
His first 4 mills were 3 agendas and my ITD. The only ice I could find for archives was a wormhole, which did nothing until he ran somewhere else. I have no more to say about this game.
Runner game:
We were both struggling for econ – he drew a lot of ice which drained his resources, but at the same time the combination of that and his ELP really hurt my run econ. However, the agendas appeared before he really stabilised, and that cleared out the ELPs and allowed me some measure of board control. Repeatedly running through architect whilst he had no assets in archives sped the game up, and I suspect that it was him finding his ice quickly from this that really defined the dynamics of the game.
4 – 2, 8 prestige
Round 4 vs Marcus
Marcus was playing Blue Sun and Reina, and having seen earlier in the day that he was playing the 6 agenda deck I was really worried about going to time in this round.
Corp game:
Bootcamping for adonis early meant that I had enough money to not get headlocked, but his siphoning and crescentus play meant that I didn't have enough money to actually get on with it. Wormhole and tollbooth on the scoring remote meant that he could never get in with yog, but it was a long time and a slow grind of a game because I needed to take money by clicking for credits, and so couldn't draw up to find the agendas. Whilst in some sense it was very smooth, it was also not at all easy.
Runner game:
The first game went long, about 40 minutes, and whilst 25 minutes is usually enough time for an Andysucker game, I was worried about time because of how slow decks like his can be. As it was, I managed to get my econ up very quickly, keeping ahead of him all game, and once a curtain wall got hit by shutdown I was pretty certain I was going to win, subject only to time limits. He was also feeling time pressure, and pushed for a 5/3 where there wasn't really a window, and with a couple of minutes to spare I managed to pull the takeover to seal it. I think fatigue was setting in for him in this game, as he said that it was his first tournament and both games were fairly draining.
6 – 2, 12 Prestige
Round 5 vs Mark Mottram
I was feeling fairly confident going into this round, as I'd worked out that a split would almost certainly get me into the cut. Mark was playing Making News and Kate, which meant Scorch and ppvp realistically.
Runner game:
He was agenda flooded, and this allowed me to get up to 5 pretty quickly. Unfortunately, I was missing some econ, and so getting to 5 left me with some obscene number of tags from an MSR. Liberal siphoning bought me a couple more turns, but in the end it came down to me have 3 shots at a 2/5 to win, otherwise he won. I found one of the agendas on run 2. In hindsight, I should probably have been more careful earlier to to make sure that I avoided the MSR.
Corp game:
It was my turn to be agenda flooded, and I went down pretty quickly. I don't think much of note really happened this game.
7 – 3, 14 prestige
After the swiss, the cut was:
1 Dave H – Blue Sun & Leela
2 Tim F – NEH & Kate
3 Me – Blue Sun & Andy
4 Mark M – Making News & Kate
I believe that Dave and I were the only 2 crims, with Tim and Mark being the only 2 Kates, but I could be wrong on that.
I've played Tim a lot of times, at least in casual games, and I wasn't very confident in my matchups against him. As it happpened, he chose to corp, and so it was Andysucker vs NEH grail.
Cut game 1:
I believe that this was the game where I saw 2 NAPDs in archives early (I chose to steal one of them), and then very soon after had a choice between trashing Crisium or stealing NAPD from HQ (I chose Crisium). Grail really lives and dies on how quickly the runner can get a breaker suite up, and so the fact that I found 3 faeries, 2 clone chips, Rex, corroder and a sucker early meant that I was able to aplly a lot of pressure early, and as soon as I ran out of faeries I had shutdown to close of the 2 lancelots that were on the table. I can't remember how it ended, but that's certainly the best setup I've had vs Tim in that matchup (though most of our games are close).
Meanwhile, Dave beat Mark, which is perhaps unsurprising since Dave helped Mark build his decks. So, that left me playing Dave for the guaranteed qualification place, and since Dave also ran in the first game of the cut it was a random choice, and I ended up running again.
Cut game 2:
I thought that Dave was playing Bootcamp Glacier too, and an early access of an NAPD all but confirmed this, but I played around tags for a long time anyway, discarding John M for example, just in case. The early game was all mine – Dave lacked the money to rez big enough ice to keep me out on all the centrals, as he needed to build up the money and then spend a turn to purge my suckers to stop me just insta-parasiting my way back in, which allowed me enough accesses to grab enough agendas to put me on match point. As I spent a large part of the early game on 1 or 2 credits, I could facecheck Datapike and Tollbooth without losing any reall tempo from doing so. Parasiting hitting Hive and Datapike helped, as it meant that the suckers were ticking over and 5 suckers was a dangerous number for his Tollbooth. It certainly wasn't smooth sailing though – a setup of HQ Curtain Wall & Crisium, R&D Tollbooth, Archives Wormhole was enough to lock me out of the centrals after a purge, meaning that I had no sec testing targets and no way to generate sucker tokens, and it was precisely this sort of setup that made me concerned about the matchup going into the game. Drawing up found me an inside job and SoT, with a shutdown already in the heap, so some quick maths meant that if I got to 18 credits I could IJ into HQ, trash Crisium, run HQ, SoT shutdown Curtain Wall. The pressure I'd applied early game on the centrals had meant that Dave had been unable to build a scoring remote for quite a while, and Jackson had been used liberally meaning that there were a lot of agendas in HQ and R&D. So, having generated a very small window for accesses, I went to it, and managed to pick up the winning agenda shortly afterwards.
After the game I found out that the asset sat in a protected remote was ITD, so if I hadn't managed to get the last agenda in the next turn or so I probably would have been completely locked out – though it's still entirely possible that I could have got through on time that's certainly not the ideal way to progress.
This guaranteed me the qualification place to the final in London, and also gave me a bit of a break, which I happily spent eating some Sainsbury's muffins and watching Tim get slowly ground down by Dave's Blue Sun deck. This meant that I was playing Dave again in the final, and as I'd run in both of my other cut games I was going to be playing as corp in this game. I was much more confident in this matchup than I was playing as runner, and knowing that I effectively had 2 chances went a long way towards relaxing me.
Cut Final:
A round of facechecking from Dave earnt him a lot of lost money from Tollbooths and Datapikes, but two Emergency Shutdowns on my tollbooths hurt. I topdecked an Oaktown, and despite knowing that I didn't have enough money to protect it dropped it into my server with ash (and an unrezzable piece of ice) and double advanced it, gaining me some money and forcing Dave to go in and beat Ash's trace 4 to steal. Bouncing Ash back protected it for a while, and seeing a Hedge fun quickly followed by an OAI Curtain Wall set my econ back on track, and gave me enough to bootcamp for an adonis as I could now protect it enough to make it extremely taxing to trash. Dave was getting accesses, but since I was able to rez the R&D tollbooth and drop and ash into R&D it was very difficult for Dave to run repeatedly, though with RDI he didn't need to run that often to still be really pressuring, and Crisium on HQ behind Meru Mati was also doing good work. The agendas slowly trickled through, for both of us, with the score reaching 5 – 6 in Dave's favour, and Leela's ability meant that I often had to discard cards that I'd have preferred to keep. This was especially true since the 3rd agenda Dave scored delayed my Pri Req score for a turn, as he bounced the double advanced card. Fortunately, all my important ice was already rezzed, so the ability wasn't too dangerous late game. An endless Adonis and 3 or 4 successful OAI curtain walls meant that I had 50+ credits by the end, and topdecking an interns to replace the ash on R&D as soon as it got trashed probably sealed the game. I'd been bouncing adonis back to hand every turn in order to clear the server in case an agenda showed up, and eventually an Atlas did – perfect because on match point I didn't need the token, and the install looked like I was just re-installing Adonis as I had done for quite a few turns previously. Dave moneyed up preparing for another poke at R&D, and I scored out for the win.
As an aside, I am definitely counting this as a 2-0 over Dave in a tournament.
I was incredibly happy with this result, and it's the first time in quite a while that I've won a tournament bigger than a GNK event, so it was a big deal for me. On top of this, by the time of the final I was feeling comfortable with my corp, completely, and since clot I haven't been able to say that (having been a long-time Astrobiotics player), so there's a lot I can take from this moving forwards as well.
My thanks go to Andy Parsons, for organising the event and providing snacks, to Masterair for organising BABW, and to all my opponents for being generally nice people. I look forward to seeing you all at another event soon.

Nice report and congrats on the win! I tried Boot Camp Glacier and it seems like a really interesting, challenging deck to play. I'm going to keep playing with it I think, since it seems like one of the most skill testing Corp decks around at the moment.
Who eats muffins during their break though. I got no respect for that

You heard it first on netrunners.co.uk, folks!
Pleasingly crunchy writeup, enjoyed the detail that you put into the various matches. Andysucker comeback? This is why you should run CVS, people! I agree on bootcamp, tried it about 5 times and couldn't grok it, think I better go back and give it another shot.
The onesie was a legitimate tactical decision.

Rob is a notorious muffin muncher at tournaments.
Even with cvs his rig becomes so efficient that it's hard to set him back once set up. In which case he then syphons you
Re: 20.06.2015 Bristol BABW 1/24? Colours other than Yellow.
I only ran into CVS in a couple of games, it's not that great because it doesn't trigger if you security test it, so once it's sat in archives you can still get all the testing money and tokens and John cards that could possibly want.
More generally, I think that if you want to play a run-economy Andysucker you need heavy parasite support, because otherwise it's too easy to get locked out.

Murder of girl 40 years ago changes trick-or-treat in Wisconsin
Gerald Turned killed 9-year-old Lisa French
The debate over when children should trick or treat in Wisconsin started 40 years ago with the murder of a 9-year-old girl.
Lisa French didn't come home from trick-or-treating on Oct. 31, 1973.
Her body was found a few days later in a farm field. Nine months would pass before her Fond du Lac neighbor, Gerald Turner, confessed to the rape and murder of the girl.
WISN 12 News Terry Sater tracked down and spoke with the lead detective in that case about how that nightmare murder changed Halloween traditions and the continuing anxiety over keeping kids safe as they trick or treat today.
"It was terrible what he did to that little girl," former Fond du Lac police Detective Melvin Heller said. "It isn't the same here in Fond du Lac. Everybody that lives here always knows about Lisa French."
Now 88 years old, and in a nursing home, the retired police chief still thinks often about French. He wants parents to pay attention to the potential for danger on Halloween.
"What I like the parents to know is the possibility of this thing happening again is very realistic today because those people aren't locked up forever today," Heller said.
Heller was a police captain when he went looking for the missing 9-year-old and remembers clearly the day her body was found by a farmer.
"Seen a plastic bag over the fence. So we went out there after he opened it up and seen what was in the bag. It was a little girl, a little nude girl," Heller said.
"It's a long time ago now, but it's something you'll never forget," Heller's daughter-in-law Colleen Heller said.
She cried remembering the fear of being a child in the community.
"The brutality, it was just awful, and nothing like that had happened in Fond du Lac before," Colleen Heller said.
Melvin Heller said French's death should be remembered:
"I think it's important to not let your guard down," Melvin Heller said.
To this day, Fond du Lac still schedules trick-or-treating during daylight hours from 3:30-5:30 p.m. the Sunday before Halloween, and the days of parents letting their kids go alone have long since passed.
Turner was convicted of second-degree murder and was eventually released from prison but is in the Dodge Correctional Institution for violating his probation.

CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — In this city, everybody knows someone who's been killed or charged with a murder. But no one's sure how to stop the violence.
Each year since 1995, Sister Helen Cole has organized a year-end vigil to remember those slain and to call for peace in the new year.
With an hour devoted to each victim and with a record 67 killings in 2012, the latest edition stretched over four days. Candles were lit and prayers were said for victims ranging in age from 2 to 66.
Most were killed with guns. Some were stabbed. One died in a fire. A handful died of blunt-force trauma.
Cole has spent 17 years running Guadalupe Family Services, an agency that provides counseling and social services in the North Camden neighborhood, and from her up-close view, the violence is confounding.
"If I had the answer," she said, "I would be on the mountaintop proclaiming it."
On Monday morning, relatives of 30-year-old Lateaf Anderson, a father of four and a personal trainer at a suburban gym, were there to pray for the man who was fatally shot in his girlfriend's apartment at 3:45 a.m. on Oct. 16.
His mother, Lisa Anderson, was too distraught to speak.
His father, Fernando Santiago, said they were there for a bigger purpose than remembering his son.
"The violence needs to stop in this city," he said, looking at a row of candles representing the victims. "It's unbelievable. So many lives taken for no reason."
Santiago shuffled out of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, but he said he'd be back: His little brother, 32-year-old Armando Carol, was killed in Camden on Nov. 20. A candle was to be lit for him in the evening.
Cole knew relatives of Anderson and Patricio Rodriguez, the 23-year-old man charged in his murder. Authorities said Rodriguez broke into the apartment of his ex-girlfriend, found Anderson there, and killed him.
Cole said she met Rodriguez eight years ago, when his brother was killed.
Camden, a city of 77,000 situated between Philadelphia and some of its well-off suburbs, is among the nation's most impoverished cities. It also ranks as among the most dangerous places.
The 67 homicides in 2012 were nine more than the previous record, set in 1995, the first year Cole organized the vigil. It has never been shorter than 24 hours.
If New Jersey, with 8.8 million people, had the same homicide rate as Camden, there would have been more than 7,500 slayings this year — 20 times the number the state normally has in a year.
The city, once a manufacturing center, has been the focus of statewide efforts to expand affordable housing offerings in the suburbs with the goal of deconcentrating poverty and to improve urban schools, partly by bringing their funding in line with suburban districts. The state also has used taxpayer money to help expand the universities and hospitals in the city in hopes of creating jobs and sparking private investment.
A group of activists this year planted a cross for every homicide victim in a new park in front of City Hall to raise awareness and as a call for politicians to act. In December, the state attorney general ran a gun buyback program that brought in more than 1,100 weapons — the most ever returned in such an effort in New Jersey.
Camden is a city full of churches and social service agencies that try from every angle to make life better.
Cole is proud of young people she's worked with who have become nurses and despairs of how parents in the city can raise one child who can be a model citizen and another a killer.
"How can you say it's because of parenting when the streets are calling their kid's names?" she asked.
She also believes that the availability of guns desensitizes people and turns arguments into killings. "What ever happened to punching someone in the nose?" she asked, before noting that two of the 2012 victims died after being punched.
Two years ago, about half the city's police department was laid off amid a budget crisis. Though officers have been hired back since, Cole said the layoffs changed things.
Before, she said, there were lawless people in the city. Now, criminals are fearless. Instead of hiding drug sales in houses or porches, she said, "they're right on the corner. They're coming up to my car, your car."
The city is in the process of dismantling its police force, which is to be replaced by a new county-run force. It's a change derided by police union officials, but authorities say it will put more officers on the street in 2013.
