A pretty blond girl at an Oakland A's game smiles at the camera lens through a halo of feathered hair, hand perched on her hip.
It's one of the last photos taken of 19-year-old Pamela Lambson alive. That day, authorities believe, she met a charming photographer who offered to help her launch a singing career.
Rodney James Alcala, a former contestant on "The Dating Game" and now a convicted serial killer, is believed to have traveled the country for nearly a decade in the 1970s, raping and killing women he first flattered with his camera.

REPUBLIC Seven people were arrested Tuesday on suspicion of dealing drugs in town and additional arrests are pending.
The arrests are the culmination of a two-month investigation by the North Central Washington Narcotics Task Force, Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers said Thursday.
Ferry County police agencies are part of the task force.
Arrested were Krista R. Lievense, 47; Spring M. Butschke, 21; Kaylia A. Eldred, 22; Nikolas V. Somday, 25; Dakota T. Devalkeneer, 18; Kathryn E. Ramsey, 22, and Roland F. Ciais, 28. All are from Republic.
Rogers said the task force and Republic Police Department served three warrants in the city. Seven suspects were arrested and "we are still looking for three additional suspects to arrest," he said.
The seven arrested so far are being investigated for unlawful use of a building for drug purposes, delivery of controlled substances, heroin and methamphetamine, and enhancements for drug crimes committed in school zones.
The total charges involved are 15 counts of delivery of a controlled substance, heroin and methamphetamine; nine counts of unlawful use of a building for drug purposes and 15 counts of delivery enhancement charges for drug crimes committed in school zones, Rogers said.
Those arrested have been booked into the Ferry County Jail.
Rogers said the Republic Police Department and task force officers "put in a lot of hours into this case over the last two months to get this done."

A Moots Boutique
After watching powerpoints and test riding SRAM 22 and Hydro (11 speed drivetrain and hydraulic road disc brakes), we dined at Pedaler's Fork. That's a bike shop, restaurant, coffee roaster, Moots Boutique. But not necessarily in that order.
Serving New Belgium
It's like the owners combined everything they're into in one place and did it for the cycling community in Calabasas. For the foodie, the dishes are made with locally sourced, organic food, wine, and cooked by top chefs. Served by the best wait staff too and, off course, with New Belgium on tap.
Wait staff
For the bike geek, the Moots Boutique is the only one in the States and includes a wall where the bike-building process is displayed like a modern museum.
Pedaler's Fork reminded me our trips to Moli del Mig and Zi Martino, where a retired pro made a life for himself with a bike hotel. If Pedaler's expands, they just need a few rooms and routes to share with guests for a destination experience. It's also a place where you can think about what to do with money in the bike industry and for the culture.

|Rebecca Steen Schwartz
I should carry on in some organized fashion by staying with the 'Rebecca' theme and getting back to my paternal California ancestors by focusing on Rebecca Steen. I want so badly to believe that the photo above is Rebecca but I will admit that I'm not 100% sure that it is. I found this photo in some belongings given to my dad that Rebecca's grandson had when he passed away in 1989. Wilton Gunzendorfer was my dad's uncle and since he had no children of his own, my dad and his brother were the only 'family' he had once his sister died.
Last year my sister found some things tucked away at my mom's home and sent them to me (thank you, sis!). In the envelope was a wallet with Wilton's card in it and a few itsy bitsy photos. I could identify all but one of the photos - there was my dad and his brother when they were young boys/men, Wilton's parents (Bertha and Abe Gunzendorfer), Bertha's father (Louis), and this unidentified woman. So my best guess is that this is Rebecca Steen, wife of Louis Schwartz and my great great grandmother. I will, however, admit I've made a mistake if I find something in the stash of old photos at my mom's house that proves otherwise.
Rebecca was the daughter of Joseph Steen and Hannah Plotzky. She was born February 8, 1848 (whoa, I just realized that my other 2nd great grandmother, Rebecca Waller, was born on February 7) in Poland. The first record I found for Rebecca was in Liverpool in March, 1851 where she shows up on the census as Rebecca STAIN with her parents Joseph, Anna (Hannah), and a 6 month old sibling, Dina (a female born in Liverpool).
Since the next record I found was arrival in New York from Liverpool in 1851, I'm guessing they were just temporarily in Liverpool while they waited to make their way to America. I found a passenger list with arrival October 15, 1851 and it shows Joseph, Hannah, Emily Stam (or Stein, hard to read) with Joseph and Hannah's ages correct. I'm not sure who Emily might be, though. And with them are Robina (age 2, which would be about right for Rebecca) and a son Denis (age 9 months). I'm guessing this is them but there's still a few questions, although the 1910 census shows that Rebecca did arrive in 1851.
After arrival in New York another child, Samuel, was born in 1855 and then the family must have moved to California as the next child, Meyer, was born in about 1856 in California. The 1860 census shows them in Santa Cruz, next door to Louis Schwartz, Rebecca's future husband (and my 2nd great grandfather).
The 1910 census shows that Rebecca had 8 children, 4 of whom were living in 1910. I can account for those alive in 1910 but have only found mention of two other children. So I'll have to keep my eyes and ears peeled for two more children. Maybe Dina or Denis is one of those?
I don't know too many details about Rebecca's life as Mrs. Schwartz but I know they lived together in Santa Cruz until shortly before Louis' death in 1893 (more on Louis in a future post - he was quite a guy). The balance of her life was spent in Oakland where she lived with either her brother, Samuel, or one of her children until her death on January 7, 1918. Rebecca's Memorial
Wait - the story doesn't end there. I did find another jewel in the package my sister sent to me! In the package was this little book.
So after a few days, I finally opened the book and found a paper folded up inside. I took it to work to show my genealogy pal and when I opened it up (expecting it to say Wilton Gunzendorfer on it), I found something else altogether.
Tune in next time to see what I found!

Polterabend – Pre-Wedding Activity
By Alfred Opp, Vancouver, British Columbia
Edited by Connie Dahlke, Walla Walla, Washington
In Teplitz, Bessarabia, weddings and funerals were staged as big events, with relatives and friends invited. It was that way from the beginning of the village in 1817. And as we returned to Germany in 1948 we found that not much had changed there, either.
Large social events could not be held from late fall to early spring because it became dark so early in the evening. By the time there was enough light in the evening, the field work took precedence, so these events had to be carefully timed. In the early days, a date such as Apostle's Day, or John Mark's date, etc – one of the holy days – was chosen. Most of these days fell on Thursday. In later times, these dates were changed considerably.
As time passed, the population of the village grew, and so did the number of one's relatives. With no rental space available, folks used their barns for these events. To set up the barn, tables and chairs had to be brought in, as well as dishes and accessories. Friends of the bride and groom got together to decorate the place.
Young people, friends of the bridal pair, went through the village collecting the borrowed items that were needed. This activity was a joyful and colorful affair. Everyone in the village gave a hand to provide the needed items. The young people dressed up in colorful outfits, and the horses and carriage were also decorated. When all was ready, the Brautbuben-Mädchen went on the road, singing and cheering to collect the needed items. After the wedding celebration was over, the items were returned in the same cheerful way.
Baking and cooking for these large events was done in communal fashion. After all the preparations were in place, the couple met with the Pastor for a final time before the celebrations started. On the evening before the wedding, the friends of the couple got together to have some fun. The idea was to say farewell to youth before stepping up to a new life in earnest. The pranks and entertainment at these parties varied from home to home, depending on what was tolerated. My Mom told me about my folk's party, and also the party held when her sister got married. Food and wine was served to start the party. The groom said a prayer and gave thanks to both sets of parents. Then the best man got up and made a speech with lots of cheers and wishes for good luck. A friend of the couple then made a speech listing all the bad habits of the bride and groom, again amidst cheers and laughter. Somebody began playing songs on the accordion for a sing-along. The party continued with lots of noise-making and banging on various items brought for that purpose. At my parent's Polterabend, Dad's brother brought in a pair of Dad's pants and read a poem about what a Pantoffelheld (henpecked) husband he now was. The final act was to steal the bride. If successful, the groom got teased that he was not going to be a good protector of his wife. The same bride-stealing was often played at weddings. The groom received advice and trinkets to assure that the wedding night would be successful. The evening closed with everyone having a good time. At the end, a nice custom was for a friend to show up on horseback, read a prayer, and then ride off cheering for the occasion. Firing off gunshots was also part of such events. On these occasions, the use of Nussaschnapps (walnut-based schnapps) for the toast was a special honor.

Pets, Pets, Pets
Skeletons in the Closet and Ghosts of Halloween Just Past: 'Tis a sad state of affairs when my Afghan Hounds are forced to share an Egyptian costume, especially when the pharaoh crown keeps slipping off their skinny skulls. It is a good thing they didn't have a party to attend.
Halloween is a great excuse to take silly pet photos. In 2008, my Edgar Afghan Poe turned into Count Dracula while last year both Afghans "chose" a Mexican theme, disguising themselves as Pancho Villa and his Senorita. This time I planned to dress the dogs as a trio of clowns to stage a Pagliacci festival. "Vesti la giubba; here we come!"
My Toy Spaniel, Charlotte, is the spitting image of Emmett Kelly, plus she already has a few clown outfits. Early in October, I picked up a thrift store clown costume that would need sleeve removal to get over Afghan's hairy legs. I hated to sacrifice the puffy ruffles. When checking the Salvation Army for more circus attire, I spied an adult's Nefertiti costume hanging on the rack. What a find. Queen Nefertiti was King Tut's aunt.
Send out the clowns; time to walk like an Egyptian. The imagery fits Afghan heritage. Afghans are an ancient breed. It's easy to picture their silhouettes alongside the Sphinx in the Sahara. All sighthounds - Greyhounds and Salukis too - trace to the Nile and Mesopotamia at least 5,000 years ago. There is an unproven claim of a papyrus that described Afghans as "monkey-faced hounds," but it is more likely that these coated Tazis, as the natives call them, evolved in the deserts and mountains of Afghanistan. The tribesmen used the speedy hounds to hunt gazelle and snow leopards. The western world didn't notice Afghan Hounds in Afghanistan until the 19th century.
With the Nefertiti garb instead of clown suits, there would be no group picture. The pharaoh hat was designed for a person's head. It looked like a sloppy Burger King coronation on the dogs. Also, there was only one jeweled bib (made of cheap, rubbery stuff) and one Cleopatra's asp sequined headband, so the duo would have to take turns posing. I was striving for the classic gaze into Ghiza shot, but we ran into some obstacles.
Alas, the perfect profile eluded us. The coat pattern on show and pet Afghans differs. Once spayed or neutered, the dogs hormone levels are altered, so most Afghans grow more hair. Some pet Afghans re-sprout the monkey whiskers they used to have as puppies, making adults resemble Civil War generals. Many altered Afghans lose any semblance of a natural saddle which is the pattern of short hair stretching from the neck to the tail and down the shoulder blades. A natural saddle displays the topline and helps to give Afghans that exotic profile of gradual pantaloons which is oh-so-ancient Egyptian. Although my guys are as deep-chested and wasp-waisted as any show dogs, they carry more coat which makes them appear heavier in photographs. They also have thicker manes on their necks which hide the faux lapis and scarab necklace.
The wind didn't cooperate either. It blew at 20 mph on Halloween. Depending on the direction, wind can turn Afghans into supermodels or hairy behemoths. This time, gusts mussed the pyramid poses. We tried shots on the grooming table and on the ground, but none qualify for an Uncovering Fleopatra Spread in National Geographic. You be the judge of which Afghan makes a better Nefertiti. Is it Edgar or his darker sister, the Beauty Queen? All the while, little Charlotte ran around them in her Dracula costume. She had no idea that her vampire outfit was miscast and passé - so 2008.
• Some great Babylon Shelter news: "Star" the longest resident at Babylon Shelter has found her special family. After spending 18 months at the shelter, this Pit who entered as a stray in March 2008, lactating from a recent litter and covered in demodectic mange, left for her happily ever after. A couple fell in love with "Star" and visited her on a daily basis while they waited for the closing on their new home in Smithtown. Also, "Jinni" the sad-sack Pit/Boxer who carried her bowl in the shelter cage as a security blanket for the last 8 months is now a Last Hope Animal Rescue foster dog. So far, she is making a liar out of us about her bowl. The shelter is seeking more volunteers to exercise the dogs and socialize the cats. Contact volunteer coordinator, Dr. Barbara Pezzanite at email@example.com.
• For Adoption at Babylon Town Shelter (631- 643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon: Two tiny dogs seem to be lingering in the Puppy Room. "Sparky"#93651 is a young Puggle who was picked up stray with the white Pit in Cage 17. Sparky likes other dogs and he loves to play with toys. "Wheatley" a sweet, female Chihuahua #93652 was found in Wheatley Heights. There is also a male white Chihuahua.
Female Dogs: adorable yellow Lab/Shepherd pup #93675 about 6 months old; patient Pits-"Lydia,Asia, Brownie"; the "Billy Goats Gruff" Poodles from last week are available.
Male Dogs: "Blue" #93487-Mr. Congeniality; "Davie" #93520 –mellow brown Pit; "Jake"- a 1 year old Boggle (Boston Terrier/Beagle).
Cats: "Charlotte" #20499 calico in the lobby; "Ms. Oak Beach" young tabby in C-4.

You have to give Nokia credit—not only do they appear to be getting to release some innovative and boundary pushing phones, they're creating a great ecosystem to go with it.
Such is the case with the super-expensive Purity Pro Wireless headphones made in conjunction with Monster (the company behind Beats). The headset features NFC pairing, Bluetooth streaming, 24-hour battery life for calls and music and is made from polycarbonate plastic (like the Lumia) for sturdiness.
In the video above, we also get to see how there are no buttons on the headphones, instead when you unfold them they just click on. What's more, the built in active noise-cancelling feature kicks on when it picks up ambient audio in the room with once again, no input from the user. To turn them off you simply fold up the headphones and if your battery dies, just plug in the 3.5mm headset jack and they will still work.
We're still a little iffy on the pricetag but we won't deny we're looking to pick these up. Over-the-ear headphones while a bit dorky looking are hands down the best for audio fidelity and more importantly, wearing for long durations (such as flights). Throw in the design and the rest of the "Lumia 920" package like a wireless charging stand, the JBL PlayUp speaker and those cool colors and we think we know where our money is going.
The Purity Pro headphones will be released in Q4 for €299.

SAS RAID Controller Cards
SAS Controllers have all but replaced SATA controllers on the mid and high-end because they are compatible with both high performance SAS hard drives and high capacity SATA drives. SAS controllers also provide for future expansion, as most cards support from 32 to 128 hard drives with the use of SAS Expanders. You also are able to use longer cables with SAS as opposed to the limitations of SATA.
You will find two classes of controller here: those that support RAID 6 (with on-board processors) and those that do not. We highly recommend RAID 6 or RAID 10 for all primary storage over 8TB for reliability reasons. The riskier RAID 5 should be reserved for secondary storage such as backups or smaller volumes.
If you need help choosing the right controller, don't hesitate to call 1-800-298-4173 or email [email protected]. Everyone you reach has in-depth technical experience that comes from actually using these products. Whether you are almost ready to buy or are earlier in the process, we will take time to make sure you understand your options.
Here's What Our Customers Have To Say About Us

PDC Energy (PDCE) updated the company's Utica Shale development program, where the company has 45,000 net acres spread across Guernsey, Noble, Washington and other counties in Ohio.
PDC Energy is no longer looking for a joint venture partner in the Utica Shale as the company felt that the offers received did not provide enough value to shareholders. The company will develop the acreage on a standalone basis.
PDC Energy plans to spend $95 million in capital in the Utica Shale in 2012 and estimates 2013 spending at $50 million. The company has disclosed information on three wells to date:
Onega Commissioners #14-25H – This well is currently being completed and then will be shut in for 60 days prior to a flow test in November 2012.
Detweiler #42-3H – This well will be completed by the end of 2012 and will be flow tested in the first quarter of 2013.
PDC Energy expects to spud its third horizontal Utica Shale well in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Polytical Healthcare
In the interests of his own safety Dr Grumble was not planning to post anything new. But Mrs Grumble is so dismayed by the polyclinic developments that, despite the risks, she has encouraged a new post on the topic. So what is there new to post about? One thing is the views of the NHS Confederation who seem to have hurriedly brought out a publication on the topic. It's of great interest to Dr Grumble who wonders just what is driving this frenzied imposition of polyclinics. Of course, what the NHS Confederation say and what the real drivers are might be quite different. Curiously, the box at the very top of the Introduction to Ideas from Darzi: polyclinics reads:
This is odd. First, because the document is called 'Ideas from Darzi' and this box reveals that it is not Darzi's idea at all. (Not that anybody thought it was.) And second, because the fact that everybody else is doing this does not mean that it is the right thing for British patients who, until recently, had the best primary care service in the world. Certainly this box is no justification whatsoever for polyclinics. It is plainly not intended for the discerning reader.
But don't worry because, according to the Confederation, the design rules that underlie the idea of the polyclinic appear to be 'fairly uncontroversial'. What are these fairly uncontroversial design rules? And, if they are uncontroversial, why is there such an outcry about polyclinics and why are they being imposed in such a heavy handed manner? If these Darzified clinics are so very wonderful why are we not all clammering for them?
The first wonderful thing about these clinics is that they will produce larger groupings of primary care professionals. Note they say 'primary care professionals'. You need to read these documents carefully. You are probably intended to think they mean doctors. But that is not what the document says. Draw your own conclusion.
Second these clinics will exploit 'economies of scale'. The relevant paragraph is short but examples given include the 'highlights of improved telephone booking'. Come on! And better access for those with learning disabilities and the mentally ill. To Dr Grumble this doesn't even sound faintly plausible. If you put more GPs (sorry - primary care professionals) together then patients with disabilities are less likely to have a GP close to where they live. These claims are disingenuous.
Third we are told the need for patients to travel to hospital will be reduced by 'relocating high volume work'. We are not given examples. One would think that high volume work, being high volume, can already be done in a group practice. The care of asthmatics, diabetics and the like would seem to be examples. So what are the conditions that polyclinics can deal with that current GPs (sorry - primary care professionals) cannot? Probably they exist but we are not told. Instead, in a very short paragraph we learn from 'Bunny Hill Primary Care Centre' that patients prefer a 'non-hospital setting' - which makes one think that perhaps they might like their current GPs' surgery. After all polyclinics do sound rather polyclinical.
Fourth we learn that polyclinics will break down the 'traditional barrier' between primary and secondary care. An example is how in Sunderland a shared approach has reduced unnecessary dermatological surgery. Now that is interesting. How could that happen? Could it be that GPs were cutting too many harmless lesions off? That doesn't sound like a very good argument for encouraging GPs to do more. But there is no reference so perhaps this interpretation is wrong.
Fifth we learn that space will be made for other services:
- community health services
- other related health services
- social care services
- leisure services
- housing services
- benefits services
Here we have the implied allegation that nobody cares about the time the patient has to spend and that polyclinics would be much better. But it's nonsense isn't it? The polyclinic is more likely to be further away from the patients home. How are the elderly and disabled supposed to get there? Why this apparent interest in the young commuter? Could it be that they have money to spend on additional services in the polyclinic? But what about the killer fact in this box which is of course all the money spent on travelling to the hospital and on hospital car parking (who imposed this by the way?) all apparently because GPs cannot take blood. Come on. Mrs Grumble retired from inner city general practice 15 years ago and she cannot remember a practice that did not have a service which sped blood samples to the local hospital.
Of course, there are many arguments (pdf) against the polyclinic idea. Here Dr Grumble was just trying to grasp from the NHS Confederation the points in favour. Sadly there don't really seem to be any. None convincing anyway.
Who are these people in the NHS Confederation with such a great misunderstanding of primary care? Do they really have the interests of our patients at heart?

Justice O'Brien also sat on the bench of the 2nd Department; more information can be found HERE.
Morgan J. O'Brien has been described as having a winning nature. He made his mark in many areas -- city and state politics, the bar, the bench, education, charity and the church. He was a prominent Catholic layman. Over the years, O'Brien has been embraced at times by both political parties, one describing him as "strong, true, upright, studious, vigorous," while the other spoke of his "candor, kindness, and thorough excellence." (Charles Johnston, Men of To-Day: Hon. Morgan J. O'Brien, Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division, Harper's Weekly, March 31, 1906.)
Justice O'Brien was born April 28, 1852 in New York City, the son of a merchant who had come from southern Ireland 30 years before. After attending New York City public schools and the Christian Brothers School, he graduated in 1872 from St. John's College with an A.B. degree. The following year he received an A.M. from St. Francis Xavier's College. Columbia Law School was next, and he graduated in 1875 with an LL.B. His post-law school education includes an LL.D. from St. John's College in 1887.
Upon his admission to the bar in 1875, Justice O'Brien opened his own law firm. At the same time, Justice O'Brien, who had a deep interest in educational matters, accepted a position as trustee of the public schools of New York City, a position which he held for many years. In 1887, at age 35, he was selected as corporation counsel of New York City by Mayor Hewitt. Later that year, O'Brien was elected a justice of the Supreme Court -- the youngest to serve in that capacity up to that point. In 1892 he was assigned by Governor Hill as a Justice of the General Term in the First District, which he held until Governor Levi P. Morton designated him Justice in the Appellate Division First Department in 1895. In 1905, upon the death of Presiding Justice Charles H. Van Brunt, Governor Higgins designated Justice O'Brien Presiding Justice, a position from which he resigned in 1906. Throughout his long career on the bench, only a small percentage of his opinions have been reversed by higher courts.
After retirement from the judiciary, Justice O'Brien returned to his firm, acting in an advisory capacity. In 1926, he was appointed chairman of the city Planning and Survey Committee by Mayor Walker, formed to study zoning, sanitation, traffic, highways, parks, port facilities and revenue. In 1936 he became chairman of the Citizens Charter Campaign Committee which worked successfully to make known to the people of New York City the need for charter revision. As an advocate of charter reform, he led the Campaign Committee in spite of the open opposition of the local Democratic organization, and the new charter was overwhelmingly adopted.
Justice O'Brien was very active outside the judiciary in charitable and educational work. In recognition of his service as a prominent Catholic layman, he was knighted by the Pope. O'Brien was married to the former Rose M. Crimmins and they had nine children. He died at age 85 of pneumonia. His funeral was a who's who of New York--Lehman, La Guardia, Rockefeller and Farley, to name a few.

Senior coaches youth volleyball
With a passion for both working with children and playing volleyball, one Wapakoneta senior has taken on a coaching role for a Wapakoneta sixth grade team.
Lyndsi Whitmore, 18, has been playing volleyball since seventh grade, and she said there is no end in sight for her volleyball career.
This year Lyndsi played on the Redskins volleyball team and on club team "Lava" in Lima.
She is looking forward to playing for Bluffton after she graduates this year. She will be starting her college career in early childhood education in the fall.
"I've been around little kids my whole life. I just love little kids, and I love helping them out," Lyndsi said. "I just like being a role model to them."
Along with working as a teacher, Lyndsi said she hopes to continue her coaching career in schools.
"That's why I wanted to teach the kids," Lyndsi said, noting how the coaching experience for the sixth graders has given her more interaction working with youth. "It'll kind of give me a head start."
For the full story, see the Thursday, April 24 edition of the Wapakoneta Daily News.

My Letter to HIV: A Letter From Khafre Abif
March 22, 2012
Dear HIV,
We were first introduced in through our social network in 1989. I did not have enough information about you nor was I consciously connecting to my sexual behavior with my sexual identity. You traveled with your friend syphilis looking for any opening to attack and you both crashed the party. Your friend syphilis became noticeable while you went about your work without detection.
I found you hiding in 1991 when I went to get tested because I wanted to ask my girlfriend to marry me. I wanted to be responsible because I had unprotected sex with both men and women during the 1980s. You knew that I didnt believe that I was at risk because the men that I had sex with also had girlfriends. I think you knew that I was a perfect target because of the combination of denial, shame and internalized homophobia that was at work in my spirit and mind.

Dec. 7, 1941, was a "church day" for Leo Hill, a World War II veteran who now lives in Boulder.
On his way home from his Sunday service, Hill stopped at a gas station to visit with a friend who delivered the news that would define his generation: The Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor.
Hill was 17.
"Within days, every man, woman and child was finding out what they had to do for the war," Hill remembers. "The remarkably nice thing about it was we were all in it together. We were united and anxious to get at it."
Tuned into the radio at his family's southern Colorado home, Hill heard President Franklin D. Roosevelt deliver a speech to the nation, calling the day that Pearl Harbor was attacked "a date which will live in infamy."
* * *
Sept. 11, 2011, was a "school day" for Max Perez, an Iraq veteran and student now attending the University of Colorado. He was in his first-period English class at a high school 6 miles south of the Pentagon.
He watched in horror on television as the second tower of the World Trade Center was struck by a hijacked airliner. His principal's voice came over the intercom: "We're under attack."
Perez was 17.
"That's when my heart sank," Perez remembers. "That was my call of duty."
Time magazine and newspaper headlines across the country declared 9/11 a "day of infamy," echoing Roosevelt's famed speech.
* * *
Pearl Harbor and 9/11 -- two surprise attacks on U.S. soil that thrust the country into very different wars --often are the subject of comparison by historians and those who served during wartime.
Yet when it comes to the numbers, the two attacks' impacts were quite different.
In the decade since nearly 3,000 people lost their lives in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Penn., only a sliver of the American population actually has gone to war. About 2 million soliders in America's all-volunteer military deployed -- first to Afghanistan, then to the less-directly linked Iraq -- in the 10 years since 9/11.
By comparison, 13 million Americans served overseas during the much shorter World War II -- and six out of every 10 of those soliders were drafted into the military.
In remembrance of today's 10-year anniversary of 9/11, the National World War II Museum in New Orleans is displaying a 10,000-pound, 10-foot-tall beam from the north tower of the World Trade Center. Resting next to it is a preserved piece of the USS Arizona, the iconic battleship that sank during the attack on Pearl Harbor, which, all told, claimed more than 2,400 lives.
"The similarity of these cataclysmic events is that our nation had not declared war on anyone and we were not expecting these attacks," said Clem Goldberger, spokeswoman for World War II museum. "They were surreal, surprise attacks. Another similarity is the outpouring of the shared national sentiment that followed both.
"There was collective shock, rage, fear and patriotism."
Yet while both attacks were defining moments in history, some -- including World War II veterans living here in Boulder -- say that's where the comparisons end.
Pearl Harbor was almost exclusively a military target.
The enemy behind 9/11 was more elusive, and fewer Americans rushed to recruiting stations to join the fight in the so-called war on terror.
Concessions that civilians made on the home front -- such as being subjected to longer airport security lines -- are small in scale compared to the grand lifestyle changes made by those of the "greatest generation."
"After Pearl Harbor, the nation was galvanized like never before," Goldberger said. "That resulted in social changes -- like the beginning of women in the workforce. After the war, there were advances in civil rights. It was a life-changing, society-changing event."
Historians doubt that 9/11 will result in such significant changes, Goldberger said.
Call of duty
Growing up, Cadet Perez wasn't certain about what career path he'd take.
That changed on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, when terrorists hijacked four passenger jets, crashing into the Pentagon and each of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. The fourth plane crashed in a Pennsylvania field after a passenger revolt.
Classmates in Perez's Washington, D.C.-area high school feared their parents who worked at the Pentagon were dead. When the first tower was struck, Perez surmised it could have been the catastrophic result of, perhaps, pilot error. Watching the second plane smash into the World Trade Center live on television felt surreal, Perez recalls.
"That was my moment," Perez, 27, said. "I felt I needed to go and serve my country."
He admired his grandfather, who served in Vietnam. But Perez said his family never pressured him to join the military.
Perez enlisted in the U.S. Army after high school graduation -- a commitment that sent him on two tours of duty in Iraq. He was deployed to Ramadi from August 2004 to August 2005 and to Baghdad from October 2006 to January 2008.
"When I went overseas, I had a real good sense that what I was doing was right," Perez said. "It was for a good cause to defend our country."
Now Perez is enrolled at CU, working toward his electrical and computer engineering degree. The Army cadet plans to be commissioned as an officer in December 2012, upon graduation.
Today, he said, will be a day of reflection for him.
"I'm going to stop and think about our country. Our freedoms. Our way of life. And, most importantly, the family members and those who lost their lives on Sept. 11."
CU senior Louis Tuey, 29, interrupted his college career so that he could enlist in the U.S. Navy after 9/11.
"It wasn't another country that attacked us, it was a terrorist organization and the lines are more blurred," he said. "Throughout World War II, there was nationwide support. Now I feel like a lot of people don't understand what's going on, so they don't support it."
The morning of the attacks, Tuey -- who was enrolled at San Diego State University -- had woken up early to attend a morning prayer group. He watched the events of 9/11 unfold on television.
Before returning to college to earn an engineering degree, Tuey served for six years. For four of them, he was stationed on the USS Helena.
Four of the Navy's ships have been named USS Helena -- including one that was commissioned in 1939 and saw heavy action during World War II, eventually sinking in 1943.
The 'greatest generation'
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States immediately pegged its enemy -- and that marks a significant difference between World War II and today's conflict in the Middle East, said Hill, who rose to the rank of first lieutenant during World War II.
As an 18-year-old with a head full of curly red hair, Hill enlisted in the Air Force. In February 1943, he went on active duty.
"There are more contrasts and differences than there are similarities in my mind," said Hill, 87. "Simply, with Pearl Harbor, we learned quite soon we were at war with the Japanese, the Germans and Italians."
At a recent roundtable discussion with those who live at Boulder's Frasier Meadows and who came of age during World War II -- including former prisoners of war, a nurse and other soldiers -- the consensus among them was that Pearl Harbor is not analogous to 9/11.
"We haven't completed the job," Hill said of 9/11's aftermath. "We don't know quite who our enemy is. It's not like the gratification of getting the job done. We knew who we were fighting (in World War II) and we won.
"Now we don't know who we're fighting and we haven't won."
The Boulder veterans also reminisced about the continued support they received from those back home -- as "Rosie the Riveter" took over factory jobs, and civilians planted victory gardens and used only a few gallons of gas a week in patriotic compliance with rations.
Ed Putzier, 86, a retired Naval officer, recalls civilians helping out on his family's farm in Minnesota during his absence. Thelma Haydon, 98, was a nurse who, while the country was at war, dedicated herself to aiding wounded soldiers.
"They were at home backing us up," said Lloyd Hansen, a lieutenant colonel who served in the Air Force from 1943 to 1964 and was a POW for 23 months in Germany.
Remembering the solidarity on the home front brought tears to the 94-year-old's eyes.
When he returned home from war to his wife, he remembers pulling off the highway to get gas.
"She said, 'Get the stamps out of the glove compartment,'" Hansen remembers. "I said, 'Stamps for what?'"
Mistaking the fuel rations for trash, Hansen had thrown them out. When he explained to the gas station attendant he had just returned from war, the attendant filled up his tank without question.
Hansen's call to serve was clear.
In December 1941, while on a bus en route to Omaha, Neb., Hansen recalls seeing a newsboy selling a special edition newspaper bearing the headline "Pearl Harbor has been bombed." Hansen asked the bus driver to pull over at a mailbox, and, at that very moment, he sent his letter to enlist in the service.
Three days later he was commissioned, married and sent overseas.
Training soldiers
While in Iraq in 2003, Army Maj. David Rozelle made it a tradition before each mission to kiss a picture of his wife, listen to the message she had recorded for him and say a short prayer to God to take care of his unborn child if he didn't return home.
On June 21, 2003, the Humvee that Rozelle was driving detonated an anti-tank mine. In the moments of silence after the violent explosion, Rozelle saw blood on his arms, shrapnel absorbed by his bulletproof vest and bits of bone squeezing from his right boot.
The explosion had blown off Rozelle's right foot and part of his leg below the knee. After three combat tours in Iraq, two of which came after his injury, Rozelle is now the commanding officer of CU's Army Reserve Officer Training Corps program.
He said that he's now training some of the best officers for the Army.
Rozelle wears an artificial foot and leg and said that it's his recovery and return to war that define him, not the landmine injury.
Cadets are motivated when they see Rozelle running with them. But his injury is also a reminder of the reality of war, he said.
Since 9/11, the ROTC program in Colorado has flourished and the number of cadets signed up is the highest it has been in a decade, Rozelle said. About one-third of the 225 cadets statewide are on the Boulder campus.
Prior to the terrorist attacks, Rozelle explained, officers in training went into the Army with basic skills and then the Army provided them with on-the-job training.
"After 9/11, your on-the-job training is in Iraq or Afghanistan," he said.
As a result, the training has been compressed in the ROTC phase and Rozelle said the Army can't afford to wait until students graduate to train them as leaders.
When Rozelle interviews high school students about why they want to be future cadets, some say military service is a family tradition. Others say they want to help out their country at a time of war.
"So few Americans are touched by this war," Rozelle said. "These young men and women who are signing up now are especially brave. They are true statesmen."

The beginning of our limb of the West Tennessee/Northwest Mississippi Berneros can be blamed on Great Granddaddy Frank Bernero.
The story goes……he left his native Genoa, Italy at the ripe old age of 10 or 14 years old and paid his passage to the new world via New Orleans, Louisiana. The New Orleans Passenger Lists, 1820-1945 has F. Bernero arriving, on the ship Silenzio, from Genoa, Italy 6 Mar 1854. His journey led him to the port city of Louisville, Kentucky where according to the 1860 census he listed his occupation as a "Riverman". Speculation has it on one of his many adventures on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers he landed at Memphis, Tennessee. There he met and married a Civil War heroine name Elizabeth (Eliza) Ann Trentham. They were married April 24, 186l………. 12 days after the outbreak of the Civil War.
According to a family story, a Memphis newspaper published an article about Eliza's Civil War experiences. She told of smuggling much-needed medicines, hidden in her clothes, through the Union lines around Memphis to the Confederate forces south of the city. We have not found this article, if it exist, yet……..but we are searching.
Frank and Eliza settled in Desoto County, Mississippi where they farmed and operated a family owned country store. As time went by they had 9 children. One of the boys, Tony, was my grandpa. The 1900 census lists Eliza as mother of 9 children………5 living. Frank died in 1898 and Eliza in 1929.
For the most part Frank can be proud of his descendents. Some died defending his new country, others prospered and led productive lives and one played drums for Elvis……..another story for another time!………….What a legacy!………written by: Robert L. Bernero

Bryanna Clark Grogan's Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer.. I'm on Facebook and Twitter (see links in sidebar at right).
Monday, January 31, 2011
As you probably know, I haven't had alot of time or inclination for cooking lately, with my dear Mom's illness, hosting family members, and Mom's subsequent death and all that goes with that. So, we were eating store bought vegan foods more often. I saw Gardein's vegan "Meatless Chicken Breasts" (packaged for the President's Choice Blue Menu brand [Canadian], 8 in a box with no sauce-- Tal Ronnen uses them in his cookbook) in the freezer section at out local Superstore, and decided to get a box to keep for quick meals for the 2 of us.
They have a rather alarmingly real look and texture!
Only 150 calories and 3 g fat per piece
I've mostly used them in an Italian manner, with a light sauce of wine or fresh lemon juice, olive oil, broth, mushrooms and herbs. We have enjoyed them that way. They have a really chicken-like texture, but not alot of flavor. In my opinion, they need a good sauce!
The other night I had to make something quickly, and as I've been reading alot about Peruvian cooking and other South American cooking, I recalled a well-known (and delicious) potato recipe called Papas ala Huancaina (or Huancaya). I thought that the sauce would be a good foil for the Gardein product, since it is both creamy and spicy. Unfortunately, it can be very high in fat (some recipes calling for 1 cup of oil, on top of cheese and evaporated milk!). So, I made quite a few substitutions. (That's why I'm calling it "Huancaina-Inspired".) When I have time, I'm going to work on a version that is a little closer to the original, but still not so high in fat.
It is quite delicious, and I thought it was super-yummy on the Gardein "chicken breasts" with the addition of a sprinkling of chopped roasted peanuts. I served it simply with salad and a sweet potato, but rice and/or steamed yellow potatoes would be more traditional (rice is ubiquitous with most Peruvian meals). Oh, and just follow the directions on the package for stove-top cooking. It takes about 10 minutes.
Papas a la Huancaina (or Huancayo) are served like this: On each serving plate, place a lettuce leaf. Place a steamed Yukon Gold potato (still hot) on each lettuce leaf. Place 3 black (kalamata or Alfonso) olives, 2 chunks of cooked sweet potato, 2 chunks of cooked corn on the cob, and 2 or 3 chunks of Potted Tofu (or commercial "Tofu Feta") around the potato. Coat the potatoes with the sauce, distributing evenly. Garnish with strips of pepper and chopped roasted peanuts. Serve immediately.
This may be a bit thinner than the traditional sauce-- I don't like my sauces too thick.
the juice of approximately 1/2 a lemon (or to taste)

I am so sorry for your loss, Bryanna. My own mother passed away last summer, and in many ways we're still negotiating this strange new world. Food and cooking have always played a very central role in our family culture, and once my initial disinclination/lack of energy for cooking abated somewhat, I found that getting busy in the kitchen again was not only comforting but empowering, since it helps me to feel closer to her. Hang in there, and may you find peace in this challenging time.

A short time back, we covered how materials scientists were attempting to more accurately mimic the behavior of the small hairs on the feet of geckos in designing reusable adhesives. A writeup of the latest attempt along these lines is being published in Nature today, and it takes the work off in a new and intriguing direction: mixing gecko-inspired designs with what we know about other robust natural adhesives.
In this paper, as suggested by the image at right, the other adhesive is derived from mussels, shellfish that generate some extremely sticky structures that keep them attached to rocks and other structures. That adhesive has to work well under water, and be robust enough to handle the pounding of waves. Previous work had identified the active ingredient in mussel adhesion as being a modified form of the amino acid tyrosine called DOPA. The chemical structure of DOPA allows it to form a variety of reversible bonds with surfaces, some significantly stronger than the van der Waals forces that geckos rely on. Measurements had shown that DOPA's interactions with a metal oxide surface was the strongest ever detected for a small molecule.
The paper describes the combination of the physical structure of gecko adhesive with the chemical properties of mussel adhesive to create something the authors term "geckel." Geckel is composed of a repeating array of small fibers, 400 nm across by 600 nm high. Once manufactured, these fibers are given a chemical coating with a polymer that is composed of about 17 percent DOPA by weight. Applying the coating was as simple as dipping the gecko-style fibers in a solution of the polymer.
The results were impressive. Under dry conditions, geckel stuck to surfaces well enough that three times the force was needed to dislodge it compared to the uncoated fibers. In water, the improvement was over 14-fold; geckel in water stayed stuck much better than the uncoated fibers did under dry conditions. The coating was also extremely durable, as the material retained 85 percent of its strength even after 1,100 adhesion/detachment cycles.
We may not be seeing geckel on the store shelves immediately, but the manufacturing technique seems straightforward enough that it may not take as long to appear as many of the other discoveries we report on. And, as a biologist, it's great to see that materials scientists think that when a little biology (geckos) is good, more biology (geckos + mussels) can be even better.

Disable Firefox Sync on a lost phone or tablet
Hakuna mtu amewasaidia kutafsiri makala hii bado. Kama tayari wajua jinsi ya ujabinishaji wa SUMO hufanya kazi, waweza kuanza kutafsiri sasa. Kama unataka kujifunza jinsi ya kutafsiri makala kwa Sumo, tafadhali anzia hapa.
So you've just lost your device (sorry about that) and you realize you've been using Firefox Sync to get all of your usernames and passwords on it. This article describes what you should do to prevent someone from accessing your passwords on your lost device.
First, change your sync password from a synced computer
This first step will prevent your lost phone from connecting to the sync server and getting all of the new passwords that you will have to create in the next section.
- Click the menu button and choose . .
- Click the tab on the left.
- In the SyncFirefox Account panel, click the Manage Account link.
- On your Firefox Account page, click the button next to Password.
- Enter your old and new passwords in their respective fields and click the button to finish.
- Close the about:preferences page. Any changes you've made will automatically be saved.
- Click the menu button and choose . .
- Go to the Sync panel and click the arrow next to to expand the menu.
- Click . The Change Your Password window will pop up.
- Enter your new password and click .
- Close the about:preferences page. Any changes you've made will automatically be saved.
Second, change all of your account passwords from a synced computer
It's important that you change your sync password before changing your other account passwords so that your lost device doesn't sync your new passwords.
This part is more time consuming but important. If you don't change the passwords for things like your bank account, it would still be possible for someone else to log in to your account on your lost device.
See Create secure passwords to keep your identity safe for an easy way to create better passwords.
If you've set a master password on your other device and you didn't leave Firefox open, you don't need to do anything else.

Hunters have always had a reputation of being the dumbest WoW players, and that's because a bunch of folk decided it'd be a good idea to play the class where they could shoot things and have their family pet Fuzzy in the game too.
This has bred a stereotype: hunters are casually based, easily aggravated 12 year olds with a serious ego complex; and if there's anything they can do, surviving a 5 minute fight in a boss is not one of them.
Let's make sure that we can by following a couple of simple tips.
5. You're not the tank, and neither is your pet.
You, the hunter, are not a tank. You do not want aggro. You may be wearing mail, which is a step below plate, but here's a secret.
The only thing that boss cares is if it's in plate armor. If it isn't, then it's wearing cloth.
Studies have shown that 100% of hunters who let their pet or themselves gain aggro (under normal conditions) are total huntards, and have a much greater tendency to die shortly afterwards. It's true! I conducted the studies myself.
Not to worry though! If you do manage to get aggro, there are ways to fix this small problem. Such as…
4. Misdirect can save lives.
This baroquely constructed skill is probably also the most uniquely crafted to saving your ass while returning the tank to his rightful place: as your meatshield.
So what exactly are you supposed to do? First, make a macro that looks something like this:
#showtooltip misdirection
/cast [target=focus, help] misdirection; [help] misdirection; [target=pet, exists] misdirection
/target lasttarget
Once that's done, make your tank your focus, so that the macro doesn't doesn't break rule #5. Then activate the macro, and shoot the things that you need to! Congratulations, you've now actively conscripted your tank to take another beating!
Alternatively, you can force the monster to murder someone you don't like; for instance, I remember fondly the one time I forced a boss to murder the most aggravating healer of all time. I wouldn't make a habit of it though.
However, what I would make a habit of remembering includes…
3. Play Dead.
When shit hits the fan and even Misdirect can't save you anymore, there's only one more answer to saving your not quite so fabulous hide.
Feign Death.
Here's a little song so you can remember how awesome it is.
When you're the aggro man, and the game's name is pain?
It's time to Feign. It's time to Feign.
Anytime you have aggro, or the area's aflame?
It's time to Feign. It's time to Feign.
Did you like it? I know I did.
2. Eat food
I'm not even kidding. Go make a sandwhich, then come back. I don't want you on an empty stomach. Eating has been shown to actually, you know, keep you alive. If you're dead IRL, then you can't raid/do ANYTHING.
So go make a sandwhich, have a glass of water, take a potty break, and then get back. I'm sure the article won't go anywhere.
You know what? Take your time. Make a big juicy burger, sizzling with grease and delicious, tasty meat. Add some onions, take some crunchy lettuce, and add some Ketchup. Enjoy your meal with some people, friends, family… and then you can come back.
I'll wait, no worries.
1. Don't stand in fire/black/voidzone/electricity/(Insert thing here)
There is no real need to explain this. If it looks like this:
Or even this:

Michael Levit needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 73 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
Founders Den
The Founders Den is a group of four experienced Internet Entrepeneurs who are creating a shared office space for early-stage startups. The Den will be located in the South of Market (SoMA) area of San Francisco, a neighborhood dense with lofts and new internet enterprises. Twitter, Techcrunch, Bebo and hundreds of other well known startups started in SoMA or call it home today.
The Founders Den will be a gathering place for experienced entrepreneurs, mentors, and advisors. There will be space available for meetings, industry events, and invite-only parties.
The Founders Den is targeting an experienced entrepeneurial audience - be it founders or mentors and advisors to those founders. The audience will be diverse functionally including sales, marketing, product, and engineering disciplines.
The logo needs to have a balance between fun and mature while staying cool and simple. It needs to fit in with the space so the Den feels like a place that would be fun to spend time in yet you would expect there to be a room full of smart entrepreneurs (not just a giant frat party).
The logo should be easy to read and has strong lettering while still having a little fun (i.e, magazine Fast Company). In terms of the actual design, it is fairly open including colors & design but here are 3 concepts (not required):
1) A strong set of basic colors to form a scene, much like a Michael Schwab design (examples attached). Consider using some buildings from SoMA such as AT&T Park, the bay bridge, or other general large loft style high ceiling spaces. Consider pulling in a cityscape as in the building example attached. Alternatively you could use silhouettes of people on computers
2) A den is another word for a living room, popular in the 70's and 80's. Consider a retro style logo that plays off this old definition. It could be a shag carpet from a den under the lettering, wood paneling (from a Den's walls) under the lettering or some other fun retro style. Some examples are shown with the 7up logo (love the spotted background), the red retro logo, and the green lettering (this is a bit hard to read)
3) A den is also a cave like place where animals go to live so the design could be some kind of a play on a cave. It would be difficult to pull this off and still have it feel like a professional place. The cave concept may fit with concept 1).
Max of 5 colors. Keep it simple/ easy to read with people & open office space with high ceilings

His teammates acknowledged it.
His former manager rewarded him for it.
His peers endorsed it.
And now those who cover the games have signed off on it, reiterating Max Scherzer's preeminence among pitchers in the American League, voting him the Detroit Tigers right-hander as the recipient of the 2013 Cy Young award.
Scherzer beat out fellow finalists Seattle's Hisashi Iwakuma and the Rangers' Yu Darvish for the award, which was announced Wednesday evening. Scherzer received 28 of the 30 first-place votes.
He becomes the fourth different Tigers pitcher to win the award, joining Denny McLain (1968, '69), Willie Hernandez (1984) and Justin Verlander (2011).
"To get recognized (means) so much, and just validate(s) everything I was able to accomplish this season," Scherzer said on Wednesday's show on MLB Network Television, unveiling the award.
It was the most recent winner, and Scherzer's current teammate, who said what all of the Tigers were thinking, dismissing any controversy there may have been amongst pundits and fans when manager Jim Leyland chose Scherzer to start the first game of the playoffs.
"Max is the best pitcher in the American League, the only reason this is being brought up is what I've done over the last couple of years," said Verlander, who also won the AL MVP award in 2011. "And like I said, Max without a doubt is the best pitcher in the American League, and he absolutely earned this."
[See complete AL Cy Young Award voting details here]
He also earned the start in the All-Star Game from his manager, something no one had a problem with at the time. In fact, the rest of the pitchers in the AL more or less understood the stellar season Scherzer was having, even before he finished 21-3.
"Scherzer, without a doubt," Chicago's Chris Sale told MLB.com's Scott Merkin of his own probable Cy Young preference. "I know a lot of people raise questions just because of the lineup he has behind him. But at the same time, you still have to go out there and pitch well. You look at all his other numbers, strikeouts, walks, innings pitched. All that stuff. He's probably got the best numbers of anybody. …
"I don't care who you are pitching against, who you have on your team. You still won 20 games and there's something to be said for that. All of his numbers match that, so I think he's the guy. …
"Shoot, I've had three where I gave up eight (runs) this year," Sale joked with Merkin. "He's never had that really bad game. He's just been consistent the whole year."
The players supported that theory with votes, endorsing Scherzer as the AL Pitcher of the Year in the Players Choice Awards, something which meant as much to Scherzer as anything.
"You know what? The thing that meant most was to get voted by the players. To get the respect, to win the vote for the Players Choice Award means the most," Scherzer said on MLB Network TV's "Hot Stove" show last week. "Those are my peers, those are the guys I compete against. So for me, I already feel like I've achieved a major recognition by receiving the respect of the players."
The Tigers were 25-7 in games he started this regular season. By way of comparison, the Tigers were 25-9 in games started by Verlander in his Cy Young and MVP season in 2011.
He led the majors in wins and win percentage.
One of his biggest negatives, though, was that he got more run support than any other starter in baseball, but he was also unbeaten when the Tigers scored three runs or more for him. And he only had seven outings where he allowed more than three runs.
He also led the AL in WHIP (walks plus hits per innings pitched), opponent's on-base percentage and OPS (on-base plus slugging), and was second in strikeouts, strikeout rate, hit rate and opponent's batting average.

At 41, Torres became the oldest swimmer to win an Olympic silver medal in Sunday's 50-meter freestyle. In the clip above, Torres comes in just a hundredth of a second behind German Britta Steffen, 24, (the same margin Phelps won by). With a 24.07 second finish, she still set a new American record and a personal best. The young women swimming with Torres say they are inspired not just by her age, but by the fact that she has a two-year-old daughter. "Most of us girls, we have to stop our sport so we can start a family, but for her to have a family and still get back in and win the silver medal is just absolutely incredible," said American Cate Campbell, 16, who finished after Torres for the bronze.
