Decision '09: Primary Profiles
With two major citywide races and one Manhattan-wide contest up for grabs on Sept. 15, Democratic primary voters could be forgiven for feeling a little overwhelmed. On primary day, a total of 11 candidates will vie for three high-profile positions: city comptroller, public advocate and Manhattan district attorney. This week we conclude a series of profiles featuring candidates from those races. To determine the order, we drew names out of a hat.
Mark Green
Running for Public Advocate
By Shayndi Raice
Mark Green is back.
Although he swore off politics after losing the Democratic primary for attorney general to Andrew M. Cuomo in 2006, Green has decided he is ready for the spotlight once again. This time, he's going after his old job: Pubic Advocate of the City of New York.
"I was the public advocate. I know the job because I've done the job," Green said at a recent candidates' forum at Young Israel of the West Side. "And I have ideas to do it better."
His history as—in his words—an "aggressive progressive" should be proof to New Yorkers that he has what it takes to stand up to City Hall and serve as an ombudsman for New Yorkers.
"Government has to do for an individual what he or she can't do for themselves," Green said firmly from the podium at the forum. "That's not just a slogan. That's my life."
Indeed, Green's first foray into public service began in the 1970s, when he worked for Ralph Nader, running Public Citizen's Congress Watch, a consumer advocacy lobbying group in Washington, D.C. In 1981, he founded and ran the Democracy Project in New York City, a public policy institute. From 1990 to 1993 he worked for Mayor David Dinkins as the Commissioner of Consumer Affairs. Then, after the 1989 New York City charter revision created the office of the public advocate, Green ran and served as the first City Hall watchdog from 1993 to 2001. He unsuccessfully ran for mayor in 2001, losing a close battle for the post to Michael Bloomberg. For the last few years, he has been president of Air America Radio, the liberal talk radio network that was owned by his real estate mogul brother, Stephen. This January, he released Change for America: A Progressive Blueprint for the 44th President, a book he co-edited with Michele Jolin.
Green's history is important because his campaign has essentially been built around it. He's been out of public office for eight years, but that doesn't mean he's letting anyone forget his contributions from the 1990s.
"I meet candidates who say, 'I stood up to this one, I fought that one'," Green said to a group of Upper West Siders at Young Israel. "Listen to those words. What did they get done? All of us can brag about certain accomplishments. But eventually you have to look at someone's head and heart and say, 'Is this person going to be on my side because they've shown their values over time?'"
Green's values, and accomplishments, include going after tobacco companies for directing advertising toward kids, suing former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani for withholding information on racial profiling and police misconduct and, most importantly for the group he addressed at Young Israel, forming a "kosher coalition" made up of organizations, wholesalers and retailers who pledged to restrain the price of kosher for Passover food products.
"Every candidate is ardently pro-Israel for reasons of morality," said Green to the Jewish congregation. "But how many candidates can say they saved you money on matzoh?"
He is also focusing on his New York roots. Born in Brooklyn in 1945, Green lived with his family in Bensonhurst before moving to Great Neck, Long Island, where he graduated from Great Neck South High School. He left New York to attend college at Cornell and law school at Harvard. Today, he lives in Manhattan with his wife, Deni Frand. In his stump speech and on his website, he makes a point of noting that New York City welcomed his immigrant grandparents a century ago, just as it welcomes his two children, Jenya and Jonah, today as they begin their careers.
According to an Aug. 26 SurveyUSA poll conducted for WABC-TV, Green is leading his opponents with 38 percent, compared to 19 percent for City Council Member Bill de Blasio, 11 percent for civil rights lawyer Normal Siegel and 10 percent for City Council Member Eric Gioia. Nineteen percent of voters were still undecided. He is significantly behind his opponents, however, in fundraising efforts; Gioia leads in that category with more than $2 million. Green only qualified a few weeks ago for public campaign funds by raising $150,000 in private donations, trailing the other candidates significantly for matching funds.
If elected, Green promises to return to his old ways, going after City Hall and holding officials accountable for their actions. He is especially focused on Mayor Michael Bloomberg and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn's decision to lower the budget for the office of public advocate by 40 percent. While he acknowledged that across-the-board budget cuts are necessary, given an approaching $5 billion deficit, he said that other city agencies were only cut by approximately 4 percent, a significant and stark contrast.
"Why did he cut only the watchdog by 40 percent? I think I know the reason. I think you know the reason," he said. "To have such an unjustified, unprovoked, disproportionate reduction is absurd and indefensible."
But even with the decrease in funds, Green said he'll make do. He pledged to reach out to seniors, students and out-of-work lawyers to volunteer to make the office effective.
That does not mean he has any plans to let the mayor and speaker get away with the budget cuts, though. Although he almost always supports transparency, he is keeping quiet on how he plans to reinstate the public advocate's budget.
"I would ask Mike Bloomberg to take the high road," he said. "If he doesn't agree, I have alternatives. You will have to stay tuned."
David Weprin
Running for City Comptroller
By Zara Kessler
"I actually find the comptroller race very exciting," said Council Member David Weprin as he took the podium at a forum hosted by the General Contractors Association of New York and the New York Building Congress.
Weprin, known for his focus on the esoteric details of the office, was taking the stage at the July 29 forum after two of his opponents—fellow Council members Melinda Katz and John Liu—had joked about the dry nature of an 8:30 a.m. comptroller discussion. (Council Member David Yassky, the fourth comptroller candidate, had yet to give his introduction.)
Weprin's Manhattan campaign headquarters, a barebones storefront on West 54th Street, also seems to reflect that image: the focus is less on appearance and more on getting work done.
"I don't think you need flashiness as comptroller. I think you need competence," he said.
But at least some flashiness may be needed, as an Aug. 26 SurveyUSA poll conducted for WABC-TV noted that while 22 percent of voters are still undecided, Weprin is currently last in the comptroller's race, with only 11 percent of Democratic voters' support (Katz leads with 27 percent).
Luckily, campaigning is nothing new for Weprin. His father, Saul, was elected Democratic leader of his Queens Assembly District in 1962, and rose to become Speaker of the State Assembly until his 1994 death. Weprin succeeded his father as Democratic District leader that year, and in 2001, he was elected to the City Council. Older brother Barry did a stint as a town councilman in Mamaroneck, N.Y., and younger brother Mark represents their father's former district in the Assembly; Mark is currently running for Weprin's Council seat.
Born and raised in Holliswood, Queens, Weprin graduated from Jamaica High School, SUNY Albany and Hofstra Law School. He and his wife Ronni have five children.
Weprin became an associate in a litigation law firm and later joined Gov. Mario Cuomo's administration as deputy superintendent of banking. But the section of his resume he stresses the most when it comes to comptroller qualifications is his work as a senior investment banker, which involved underwriting municipal bonds for infrastructure needs. This is the perfect background for the comptroller's debt issuing responsibilities, he argues, as well as the office's role in managing the city's pension funds.
Pension funds have been a major point of contention among the candidates, especially in light of the pay-to-play scandal that led to the indictment of political advisers close to former city and state comptroller Alan Hevesi. Weprin believes that the city, as a huge client with a major portfolio, should only be dealing with principals or senior executives of firms, rather than the middlemen or political consultants who have been linked to the pay-to-play scheme. His opponents have a more tempered view of placement agents, arguing that they should be used in a more transparent fashion, or only for smaller funds that don't have adequate resources.
Weprin promises to bring the comptroller to the people by opening up five borough-wide offices. Such community-oriented offices would deal with predatory lending, financial literacy issues and mortgage foreclosures, as well as pension and contract issues. Moreover, he promises to do a self-audit of the comptroller's office to eliminate waste, and to invest in businesses that create jobs within the city.
Support for the campaign, which has raised about $2.3 million, comes from former Mayor David Dinkins, former Bronx Borough President Fernando Ferrer and former Brooklyn Borough President Howard Golden. Other prominent endorsements include seven DC37 locals and the New York City Patrolmen's Benevolent Association. Weprin's dance moves at a recent Brooklyn event gained him YouTube stardom, as well as the support of the organizers of the Soul Summit music festival.
In the Council, Weprin chaired the Finance Committee, where he sponsored the Autism Initiative, which funded programs for young children on the autism spectrum, and pushed to set aside $2.5 billion of surplus funds to pay for future retirees' health care benefits.
But much criticism has resulted from the fact that Weprin was babysitting the Council's finances throughout the recent slush fund controversy, which revealed the Council practice of assigning money to fake nonprofit organizations before it went out to legitimate groups, which were sometimes linked to friends and family. The scandal took down two ex-aides to a Brooklyn Council member, and led to a guilty plea for misusing public funds from Council Member Miguel Martinez, who resigned. Martinez should go to prison, Weprin says, but he notes that the Finance Chair does not police the speaker's office, which was the source of the dispersed funds.
"Look, I mean, all 51 members of the Council who voted on the budget, who were part of the process, can take some blame. You know all my opponents are also Council members. Could we have done better? Absolutely. Have we done a lot to change the process to make it more transparent, to put in the safeguards to prevent certain things from happening again? Absolutely we have," Weprin said, highlighting the many good organizations to which discretionary funding goes.
Nice guy that he is, a Mets fan and movie buff who eagerly hands out his cell phone number to a reporter in case of further questions, Weprin has pinpointed perfect jobs for his peers.
"John Liu would make a great MTA chair, Melinda Katz would be a great chair of the City Planning Commission and David Yassky would be a great head of the Environmental Protection Committee," he said at a recent debate.
That, of course, would leave the comptroller' seat wide open for Weprin.

The Egg by Jack Sharp
You were on your way home when you died.
It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off. Trust me.
And that's when you met me.
"What… what happened?" You asked. "Where am I?"
"You died," I said, matter-of-factly. No point mincing words.
"There was a…a truck and it was skidding…"
"Yup." I said.
"I… I died?"
"Yup. But don't feel bad about it. Everyone dies." I said.
You looked around. There was nothingness. Just you and me. "What is this place?" You asked.
"Is this the afterlife?"
"More or less," I said.
Are you god?" You asked.
"Yup." I replied. "I'm God."
"My kids… my wife," you said. "What about them? Will they be alright?"
"That what I like to see," I said. "You just died and your main concern is for your family. That's good stuff right there."
You looked at me with fascination. To you, I didn't look like God. I just looked like some man. Some vague authority figure. More of a grammar school teacher then the almighty.
"Don't worry," I said. "They'll be fine. Your kids will remember you as perfect in every way.
They didn't have time to grow contempt for you. Your wife will cry on the outside, but will be secretly relieved. To be fair, your marriage was falling apart. If it's any consolation she'll feel very guilty for feeling relieved."
"Oh," you said. "So what happens now? Do I go to heaven or hell or something?"
"Neither," I said. "You'll be reincarnated."
"Ah, so the Hindus were right."
"All the religions are right in their own way," I said. "Walk with me." You followed along as we strolled in the void.
"Where are we going?"
"Nowhere in particular," I said. "It's just nice to walk while we talk."
"So whats the point, then?" You asked. "When I get reborn, I'll just be a blank slate right? A baby. So all my experiences and everything I did in this life won't matter."
"Not so!" I said. "You have within you all the knowledge and experiences of all your past lives. You just don't remember them right now."
I stopped walking and took you by the shoulders. "Your soul is more magnificent, beautiful, and gigantic then you can possibly imagine. A human mind can only contain a tiny fraction of what you are. It's like sticking your finger in a glass of water to see if it's hot or cold. You put a tiny part or yourself into the vessel, and when you bring it back out, you've gained all the experiences it had.
"You've been a human for the last 34 years, so you haven't stretched out yet and felt the rest of you immense consciousness. If we hung out here for longer, you'd start remembering everything. But there's no point doing that between each life."
"How many times have I been reincarnated, then?"
"Oh lots. Lots and lots. And into lots of different lives." I said. "This time around you'll be a Chinese peasant girl in 540 A.D."
"Wait, what?" You stammered. "You're sending me back in time?"
"Well, I guess technically. Time, as you know it, only exists in your universe. Things are different where I come from."
"Where you come from?" You pondered.
"Oh sure!" I explained. "I come from somewhere. Somewhere else. And there's others like me. I know you'll want to know what it's like there but you honestly wont understand."
"Oh." you said, a little let down. "But wait. If I get reincarnated to other places in time, could I have interacted with myself at some point?"
"Sure. Happens all the time. And with both lives only aware of their own time span you don't even know it's happening."
"So what's the point of it all?"
"Seriously?" I asked. "Seriously? You're asking me for the meaning of life? Isn't that a little stereotypical?"
"Well it's a reasonable question." you persisted.
I looked in your eyes. "The meaning of life, the reason I made this whole universe, is for you to mature."
"You mean mankind? You want us to mature?"
"No. Just you. I made this whole universe for you. With each new life you grow and mature, and become a larger and greater intellect."
"Just me? What about everyone else?"
"There is no one else," I said. "In this universe, there's just you. And me."
You stared blankly at me. "But all the people on earth…"
"All you. Different incarnations of you."
"Wait. I'm everyone!?"
"Now your getting it." I said, with a congratulatory slap on the back.
"I'm every human who ever lived?"
"Or who will ever live, yes."
"I'm Abraham Lincoln?"
"And you're John Wilkes Booth, too." I added.
"I'm Hitler?" you said, appalled.
"And you're the millions he killed."
"I'm Jesus?"
"And you're everyone who followed him."
You fell silent.
"Every time you victimized someone," I said, "You were victimizing yourself. Every act of kindness you've done, you've done to yourself. Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was, or will be, experienced by you."
"Why?" You asked me. "Why do all this?"
"Because someday, you will become like me. Because that's what you are. You're one of my kind. You're my child."
"Whoa." you said, incredulous. "You mean I'm a god?"
"No. Not yet. You're a fetus. You're still growing. Once you've lived every human life throughout all time, you will have grown enough to be born."
"So the whole universe," you said. "It's just…"
"An egg of sorts." I answered. "Now it's time for you to move on to your next life."
And I sent you on your way.

LANSING, MI (WHTC) - The Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission is recommending that Hudsonville District Court Judge Kenneth Post get 30-days-off for throwing attorney Scott Millard in jail after he appropriately advised his client not to answer a question that could be incriminating. In the December, 2011 incident, Judge Post had wanted to know for bonding purposes, if the young suspect had recently used drugs. Millard repeatedly told him not to answer on constitutional groundss, despite the judge's threats and was held in contempt. The commission not only found Judge Post liable for the two misdeeds argued by the investigator, but added 12 of their own; Post's attorney says a reprimand would be more appropriate. The Supreme Court will have final say on the commission's recommendation.

Campbell County's game this week against Anderson County will be the first meeting of the two teams since Sept. 2, 1994, when the Mavericks opened the season with a 39-0 victory on their home field.
Both teams made the playoffs last season in their respective divisions. Both teams also had to replace several starters, including their quarterbacks. However, this is where their similarities end.
Football rivalries are normally born on the field, not off of it.
However, the feud between two local high schools has been anything but normal.
A rivalry 15 years in the making, Campbell County vs. Anderson County has grown to epic proportions, even though the teams haven't actually faced off on the gridiron since 1995.
For the better part of the past two decades, both teams have done their best to avoid each other because of a bitter feud over alleged recruiting of players by the Mavericks.
After a poor start to the football season a week earlier, the Campbell County Cougars came out on a mission Friday night at White County.
"We were very disappointed in how we played last week and everyone knows that," CCHS coach Dewayne Wells said of his young team.
"Our kids had a different mindset at practice and we just wanted to come out and show we were better than what we were last Friday (against Loudon). I think we showed that we were determined."
Did they ever.
With a generous helping of smash-mouth football and a dash of razzle-dazzle, Jellico High School was able to snap a 12-game skid Friday night.
The Blue Devils (1-1 overall) came from behind in the second half at North Greene to defeat the Huskies, 14-8.
Running backs Ryan Morris and Freedom Scott pounded out most of Jellico's yardage between the tackles, while newcomer Darius Marlow added an element of speed with a couple of shifty runs on reverses.
Sophomore Lauren Evans led the Campbell County High School girl's cross-country team to a runner-up finish during the season opener last week at Panther Creek Invitational.
Evans ran the course in 23 minutes 4 seconds. The Lady Cougars finished just 10 points behind meet host and perennial state powerhouse Morristown West. A total of 90 runners representing 10 teams competed for top honors.
"I'm well-pleased with how we ran for such a hot day," said Campbell County coach Jim Pierce.
Jacksboro Middle School's football team bounced back from a lopsided season-opening loss at Clinton to post a 22-16 victory Thursday night over visiting Grace Christian Academy.
The Eagles rallied from an eight-point deficit in the fourth quarter with touchdown runs of 9 and 2 yards by bruiser Nick Bailey, who finished with a team-high 105 yards on 14 carries.
Paul Courdle picked up 43 yards on 10 carries and scored Jacksboro's first touchdown on a 70-yard kickoff return.
Mistakes and missed opportunities proved costly for Jellico High School's football team Friday night in its 2009 season opener.
Playing at archrival Williamsburg, Ky., the Blue Devils fell behind by two touchdowns and were forced to play catch-up the rest of the game. The Yellowjackets won, 38-16, to retain bragging rights for another year.
"We competed with them, but they're clearly the better team right now," said Jellico coach Danny Oakes.
It's been a tough week for Campbell County middle school football teams, all three of which lost season-opening games.
LaFollette suffered a 12-6 setback Thursday night to visiting Eastern Division foe Horace Maynard.
Blake Wallace scored both touchdowns for the Red Devils, who capitalized on numerous mistakes by the Owls.
Wallace put HMMS on the scoreboard first with a 45-yard touchdown run almost halfway through the second quarter.
LaFollette snuffed out a two-point try by the Red Devils.
Instead of giving his usual post game speech on the field Friday night, Campbell County High School football coach Dewayne Wells ushered his players into the locker room where he proceeded to give them a tongue-lashing, the likes of which they hadn't seen since last season's lackluster first half performance against Heritage.
The final score of 33-0 pretty much told the story of how Loudon waltzed into L. Hope Dossett Stadium and dominated the Cougars from start to finish in the season opener.

"What a joy to find such a delicious meal while undergoing treatment for a bad jaw joint and can not chew! I was expecting a very bland meal. However, not only is it temptingly set out so you can identify peas, potato and meat, but the flavour leaves you in no doubt as to what you are eating, portions are generous and some useful vitamins are added too. And it slides down easily. I am on a very restricted diet, so to find this was a real surprise. It is perfect! So I've ordered more. A big 'Thank You' to the people who gave so much thought to presentation, taste and nutrition for people who cannot chew."
Mrs DAVIS, Ely
"This looks good, smells good, and tastes good, in fact delicious! The peas look and taste like peas, the beef like beef and potato like potato. Portions are also generous, more so than ordinary main meals I have tried, which is great, as my appetite is good. I strongly recommend this and other Wiltshire pureed meals."

Every Complaint is an Opportunity
- Friday, April 26, 2013
What if you listened to every complaint from your mate, friend or neighbor, as an opportunity for growth and change? What if you looked beyond your ruffled feelings to the need being expressed by the person complaining? You have an incredible opportunity to minister to them, to meet their need, to show them compassion and caring.

A man has been charged with open murder from December 2011. Robinson was indicted in a secret hearing before a one man grand jury, which is rare.
Todd Robinson was arraigned in Circuit Court Tuesday morning for the murder of 18-year-old Eshaum Gant. Judge Thomas Wilson ordered he be held in jail without a bond. There will be no pre-trial and the case will go directly to court.
A process that only happenes in Michigan, a grand one man jury is designed to secure testimony from reluctant witnesses.
"This is not something we use routinely. I think we've used it three times in the 10 years I've been here. Each time it's been very successful," said Hank Zavislak, Jackson County Prosecutor.
Gant died last Christmas Eve after he was shot in the head. He had just graduated from Jackson High School.

Dreams can be
Good to heaven
Bad to hell
I had a dream
Very very dreadful
It started houseful
With cries rule
I had lost my mother
I was steady still
People console me
Around but no result
Instead of people around
I was left all alone
The imagination without her
Had shot circuited me
Who will come to cheer me?
Who will love priceless to me?
Who will fight for me?
I was in real also
Kept crying in night
Waked up! The moment
I realized it was dream
I was left smiling
Happy to see her
That day changed
My attitude towards her
I am more respectful, polite
And happy ti have her.

Silicone Breast Implants Up for Debate
FDA Considers Bringing Controversial Implants Back
Silicone vs. Saline
Meanwhile, saline-filled breast implants are already approved for use in breast augmentation and reconstruction surgery. These implants contain a saltwater saline solution similar to that used in IV fluids.
Although saline implants are also likely to leak or rupture over time, research shows that the risks posed by leakage are less serious because the body readily absorbs the saline solution.
But some plastic surgeons say many women would still prefer a choice.
James Wells, MD, president of the American Academy of Plastic Surgeons, says that in other areas of the world where the use of silicone implants is not restricted, about 90% of women select silicone gel breast implants over saline for aesthetic reasons.
"The gel is more natural in terms of the consistency of the breast," says Wells, "and the saline is a little bit more like a water balloon."
Booming Market for Breast Implants
Despite the uncertainty about breast implants, the demand for them is clearly increasing.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 225,000 women received breast implants for cosmetic reasons in 2002, a 593% increase since 1992. Breast augmentation was also among the top 5 cosmetic plastic surgery procedures in 2002.
Wells says that most women are satisfied with the results of their breast implant surgery and are informed about the potential risks before undergoing the procedure.
"Silicone has been around 30 years so the chemistry and safety of silicone is pretty well acknowledged," Wells tells WebMD. "What you're really looking at are local mechanical problems of the device, which like any man-made device will eventually wear out and have to be replaced."
But Zuckerkman says that if the FDA approves products such as silicone breast implants that have such a high complication rate, the manufacturers will have no incentive to improve the safety of the devices.
The panel will also hear public comment on the issue during its meeting this week before making its recommendation to the agency. The FDA is not required to follow the panel's recommendation, but it usually does.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I agree that it is more of a nuisance to be typing while you are in the middle of a quest, or doing something. It is time consuming, a drain on ones own mental being, and unless you are someone who enjoys doing 20 different things at a time, it is frustrating to try resolving one item (be it a quest, reading something on a screen, whatnot) and then having people pop in and out and being expected to say/type something.
One thing I do not notice anyone commenting on (but I do have a beef with), is the 'grats' when people get an achievement. There are so many achievement, and so many of this are silly and minimal (oh, you got your first pet, oh your level 85 toon did all the quests in Duskwood) - BIG DEAL. Those, IMO, are not achieves worthy of any kind of notice from others, except personal goals. They are meaningless, and to have people get upset because they are not being 'gratted' for it, are very insecure and foolish.

Stoner isn't liked or well-loved for very obvious reasons.
He's liked by many that enjoy seeing a bike pushed to its limits. He's not liked by the likes of you............ but should he be bothered? Really?
As for 'not man enough for MotoGp'..........you're making yourself look a bigger arse with each sentence.
While it's fair to say..
..Casey is not really a mans man..he did try and ride the Ducati in a manly fashion but, fell off too often, which is a bit girly.
------------------------ At least he tried bud, for many years. Would you have done the same or raised the white flag like your girlfriend?

I guess that when a supposedly 'well-rounded' Australian racer marries his 'stick insect', 14-year old, Australian childhood sweetheart, then certain questions are bound to be asked by those who care about matters of the mind. Is 28-year old Stoner just 'young at heart' - or is the law different in the out-back?

No matter how you twist, turn, backflip, plumb the depths or skim the surface of credibility, you're caught on that line of his and can't let go
Nearly 500 comments on this topic and a pretty big percentage probably yours - for someone you've apparently no time for.
If he did come back, and who but you and a few others would give a shit about him justifying his reasons, the headlines would blow Rossi's return to Yamaha's marketing department to friggin shreds

I think these would make a perfect gift for any teacher.
Another idea I had if your school is not that tech savvy (like mine) would be to pick out some of the easier ones to use. Put them in a bowl, and let each pair (I think teachers may want to work in pairs for this one) pick one out. They would be responsible for learning the tool and sharing what they learned with the staff at a faculty meeting. This way no one is overwhelmed by all of these keys all of a sudden. The key for that tool would be given to entire staff after the pair discussed and shared their findings/highlights.
LUV my PLN! :-)
I heard there are 3 sets. Is this possible? I would love to find the other two.

A Bargain Blanc
The Vineyard: Vines are now being planted in north-to-south rows on a south-facing slope in the sunny Santa Barbara district. Thus, one side of the bunch sees sun in the morning, the other side in the afternoon. Furthermore, leaves are removed several times during the growing season to avoid excess shading of the fruit.
The Winery: If a trace of grassiness is still in the grapes, it won't be detectable after Chuck ferments and ages most of the wine in small French oak barrels.
So, after all this work, how good is the wine? Well, my 18 panelists agreed with Peter Kay that the Meridian Sauvignon Blanc is a fine value. Not only that, they voted it the BEST WHITE OF THE TASTING. Very seldom does a wine under $10 win such acclaim. For example, the price of the five previous winning whites averaged $21.60. But a number of Blancs are now selling above $15, so I'm grabbing Ortman's while it's still $8.50.
The Wine:
Postscript: While his Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc draw plenty of kudos, Chuck Ortman does not live by white wines alone. His 1992 Cabernet Sauvignon won a first at the California State Fair.

Here is your ACC Recap for March 15th.
#2 Florida 5 #4 Florida State 4 (10 innings)
Junior Daniel Pigott (Ormond Beach, Fla.) delivered a walk-off single in the 10th inning that scored sophomore Nolan Fontana (Winter Springs, Fla.) with the winning run as No. 1 Florida (15-2) edged No. 4 Florida State (15-2), 5-4, on Tuesday night in front of a record crowd of 5,930 fans at McKethan Stadium. The Seminoles used a four-run third to grab the lead but were held scoreless for the final seven innings of the contest. The teams have now split two of their four regular-season meetings, with contests remaining in Jacksonville on March 29 and in Tallahassee on April 12. Continue reading


text: Paul Wolfowitz' candidacy for World Bank president has triggered criticism from rights activists in Indonesia, where he served as U.S. ambassador during Suharto's dictatorship but never spoke out publicly against the regime's violent abuses or endemic corruption. Wolfowitz, considered the key architect of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, has been nominated by U.S. President George W. Bush to succeed the outgoing bank president, James Wolfensohn. International organizations and Third World countries _ the main recipients of World Bank loans _ are questioning his qualifications and commitment to international development. Analysts in Indonesia, where Wolfowitz served as ambassador during the military-backed government of former President Suharto from 1986 to 1989, say the candidate has a poor track record in other areas crucial to the World Bank, such as fighting graft and respect for human rights. "Of all former U.S. ambassadors, he was considered closest to and most influential with Suharto and his family," said Abdul Hakim Garuda Nusantara, head of the state-sponsored National Human Rights Commission. "But he never showed interest in issues regarding democratization or respect of human rights," said Hakim, who at the time headed the Legal Aid Institute that defended dissidents and sought to free political prisoners. "Wolfowitz never once visited our offices." "I also never heard him publicly mention corruption, not once," Hakim said. At the time, thousands of leftists detained after the 1965 U.S.-backed military coup that brought Suharto to power were still languishing in jail without trial. And tens of thousands of people in East Timor _ a country Suharto's troops occupied in 1975 _ died during the 1980s in a series of army anti-insurgency offensives. During his 32-year reign, Suharto, his family and his military and business cronies transformed Indonesia into one of the most graft-ridden countries in the world, plundering an estimated US$30 billion (€23 billion). After being ousted in 1998 by pro-democracy protests, Suharto was finally charged in 2000 with personally embezzling US$600 million (€459 million). The charges were dropped when judges ruled he was too ill to go to trial. Still, Wolfowitz publicly lauded the dictator, praising his "strong and remarkable leadership" in congressional testimony. Wolfowitz "never alluded to any concerns about the level of corruption or the need for more transparency," said Binny Buchori, director of the International NGO Forum on Indonesian Development _ a coalition of 100 agencies promoting democracy in Indonesia. "He was an effective diplomat, but he gave no moral support for dissidents," she said. "He went to East Timor and saw abuses going on, but then kept quiet." Dewi Fortuna Anwar, a former foreign policy adviser to B.J. Habibie, Suharto's successor as head of state, also agreed that Wolfowitz was a competent and popular envoy. "He was extremely able and very much admired and well-liked on a personal level ... but he never intervened to push human rights or stand up to corruption," she said. "At the time, Washington didn't care too much about human rights and democracy; it was still the Cold War and they were only concerned about fighting communism." AP22 March 2005

Diebold's identiCenter Biometric Security Solution Targets Identity Theft, Fraudulent Bank Transactions

NORTH CANTON, Ohio, Sept. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- A new biometric security solution from Diebold, Incorporated increases consumer and financial institution protection against identity theft and fraud byverifying account holders' identities by their unique fingerprint profile.
Diebold identiCenter(TM), Powered by US Biometrics, is an integratedsystem for identity verification and branch traffic management built around proven fingerprint-reading hardware and software. It's designed to quickly,accurately and securely identify consumers who enter a financial institutionand increase efficiencies within the branch.
Dennis M. Moriarty, senior vice president of Diebold Global Security, said identiCenter is an example of how Diebold applies high-tech solutions to meetthe security needs of today's financial institution.
"identiCenter is part of Diebold's vision of the 'branch of the future,'"Moriarty said. "Diebold is working closely with financial institutions to transform their branch operations to meet the needs of tomorrow's retail banking consumer by streamlining operations, personalizing customer service and enabling faster, more secure transactions. identiCenter is a significant part of that effort."
Addressing Identity Fraud
identiCenter provides added protection for financial institutions and consumers against identity theft during branch-based financial transactions.The Federal Trade Commission reported that 10 million Americans were victimsof identity theft in 2002, the most updated numbers available, with a total cost impact of
In addition, the fraudulent use of victims' personal information to obtain goods and services cost businesses and financial institutions
At the same time, industry research shows that more than half of American consumers say the branch is their preferred mode of interaction with their financial institution. Further, according to Accenture, 42 percent of consumers visit their branch at least once per week and 86 percent visit at least once per month.
"In a world where PINs, bank cards, social security and account numberstoo often fall into the wrong hands, identiCenter can reduce fraudulent transactions, minimize losses from fraud and increase consumer confidence by verifying consumers' identities using their own unique biometric information," said Brad Stephenson , vice president of Diebold's Physical Security Group.
Using Fingerprints to Verify Identity in the Branch
At its basic level, identiCenter links an individual's identity and account information to his or her unique fingerprint profile. Upon initiatinga transaction at the teller station, enrolled consumers place their finger onan optical-scan fingerprint reader to verify their identity. Once verified,their account information automatically appears on the teller's screen.
Participating consumers must first enroll by having three fingerprints scanned. Fingerprint images are then converted to algorithmic values based onthe individual's unique minutiae point vectors, which are then stored in anencrypted, compressed database. To protect the account holder's sensitive information, the original fingerprint images are deleted from the hostfinancial institution's records, leaving algorithmic values that cannot be converted back into fingerprints.

Top Gear Challenge Pre-Flight
In an episode of Top Gear (season 7, episode 5), Clarkson, Hammond and May partake in a challenge to deliver a truffle from Alba, Italy to London. Jeremy drives a Bugatti Veyron, while Richard and James are in a Cessna 182. Jeremy wins, primarily because James, who at the time was not yet qualified for night flight, is forced to set down in Lille due to darkness. I decided to take up this challenge myself, and fly the route taken by the Top Gear presenters for this challenge.
My first challenge, then, was to ascertain the route flown by the Top Gear Cessna.
The starting point is reasonably simple to deduce. A map is shown of May and Hammond scootering their Vespas from Alba to the Cuneo airport. The closest airport to service Cuneo is Levaldigi (LIMZ), 20km to the north. When James requests takeoff clearance for their first flight, ground control responds "Lineup zero three." I interpret this as runway 03, which is consistent with Livaldigi. This, therefore, is our starting point.
The Top Gear team does not fly a direct route from Cuneo to London, but rather circumnavigate around the Alps via Nice. In Flight Simulator X, the range of its Cessna 172SP is 638nm, with a fuel capacity of 212L. A complete flight from Levaldigi to London, with a whiplash tour of Mediterranean Italy, is 671nm. James was right, they needed to stop for fuel. During James' initial takeoff clearance he requests "taxi for a VFR flight to Lima Foxtrot Mike Hotel." LFMH is the ICAO code for Boutheon airport in Saint-Étienne, as cited in the episode's commentary.
Now, in the episode there are aerial shots with the Top Gear plane taking off from Cuneo and landing at Lille, both of which depict runway 17 (and even a reversed 17 in one shot). Neither of these airports has a runway 17. I found six airports in France which do sport a runway 17.
Of these, I estimate that Champforgeuil and Charnay could have conceivably been refueling stops. Montlucon Gueret is rather remote, and would be an unlikely choice. Champforgeuil is 85nm north of Saint-Étienne so it doesn't make sense they'd have planned this as another stop. Charnay is even less likely.
The aircraft's registration in these shots, G-BXZM, matches the identification of James' plane, as he announced when taking off from Livaldigi, so this is not simply stock footage. Also, the weather shown for the landing (standing in for Lille) matches the weather in the subsequent shot of the Veyron, suggesting that it was filmed on the day of the challenge. (Unless both are B roll, I suppose.) When and where did James land at an airport with a runway 17? This aspect of the trip remains a mystery.
When landing in Lille we hear James' conversation with ATC where he announces he is on final for runway 18. Lille doesn't have a runway 18. Of the airports in France which offer a runway 18, none are anywhere close to Lille. Therefore, I must assume that the BBC Editors repurposed the landing at Boutheon to stand in for Lesquin at Lille.
A roundabout route from Levaldigi to Saint-Étienne through Nice is 263nm with an estimated fuel burn of 91L. This is less than half the range of the Cessna, so why did James need to stop for fuel? James confirms to Richard that he "filled it up" at Cuneo with "as much as it takes." We must consider, however, that there were two additional passengers (perhaps three, if there were separate camera and sound operators), plus film and sound gear. This extra weight would reduce the Cessna's range significantly.
From Saint-Étienne direct to London it's 405nm (144L), within the Cessna's optimal range provided there's no significant headwind. But if their payload deemed it necessary for James to stop and refuel after the first 263nm, would he be able to extend the next leg to 405nm? Perhaps not. It's possible that there was another refueling stop, perhaps at Troyes, and this fact was cut from the program for time or dramatic purposes. It makes some sense from a flight planning perspective as it splits the trip up into three legs of similar distance. Also, with two landings and refueling delays it would better explain their ultimate conundrum of being unable to complete the journey within daylight hours on a single day.
Given how I might want to interpret the above assessment, I figure I have four flight options available:
|Livaldigi → Saint-Étienne → London (669nm)
|Livaldigi → Saint-Étienne → Lille → London (715nm)
|Livaldigi → Saint-Étienne → Troyes → London (690nm)
|Livaldigi → Saint-Étienne → Troyes → Lille → London (718nm)
The first, direct to London via Saint-Étienne, is the shortest, and doable with just me in a simulated Cessna will full tanks. But this offers no drama, and doesn't play enough into the spirit of the Top Gear episode.
The next, via Saint-Étienne and Lille, most closely matches what is depicted in the episode.
A flight landing in Troyes in place of Lille is, I believe, the optimal route with a second fueling stop. Perhaps Paris is more direct, but then you'd have the extra hassle and delays of landing and taking off at a major international hub. Via Troyes bypasses not only scheduling issues, but also the congestion of the airspace.
Then we have the full package deal, with visits to all four destinations. And, of course, that's the one I've chosen to fly, since it sounds the most fun.
But I still don't know how runway 17 fits into the picture.

After three games in the spotlight, Luke Falk's California adventure is over.
Junior quarterback Luke Falk, who transferred to ritzy Oaks Christian High School last year will return to Logan High School this week, his father saying the move to California was too hard on the family
SEE ALSO: Former Logan quarterback chases dream, lead Southern California power
Falk, who has an offer from Florida State, was 1-1 as a starter at Oaks Christian, which produced QBs Jimmy Clausen and Nick Montana, before losing the job last week to sophomore Brandon Dawkins.
In starts against Bellevue (Wash.) and Agoura (Calif.), Falk completed 27-of-53 passes for 317 yards. He threw three interceptions against two touchdowns.
Falk will return to Logan, where the Grizzlies are 6-0 and ranked No. 1 in 4A behind the sterling efforts of Utah State-committed QB D.J. Nelson, with whom Falk split time last season.
"Luke will be able to achieve what Luke wants to achieve from Logan," said Mike Falk, Luke's father. "I didn't know that earlier."
The UHSAA's "single season rule" will likely prevent Falk from being eligible to play at Logan for until his senior year.
"They've got a great season going now," said Mike Falk, "and if there's something he can do to help that's great, if not he's got another season in front of him."
The default reaction is to point to Falk's struggles at the highest level of California football as the impetus for his return to Utah, but Mike Falk said the move had put a great deal of strain on the family.
"If there's 30 reasons we moved out here," Mike Falk said, "there were four of them that held true. The expectation and the result. It's been a wakeup call for me."
Falk's sisters, Natalee and Alexa, originally moved with the family to their opulent neighborhood of Oak Park, with intentions to further their music careers. They ended up, however, back at Utah State to finish their degrees.
Mike Falk operates an international commercial real estate business out of Logan, and said he was flying back to Utah twice a week.
Luke Falk at Oaks Christian never seemed quite like a concrete match. Multiple times after moving to Southern California, the 16-year-old waffled on his decision and stated a desire to return to Logan. In a Sept. 4 interview for the in-depth Tribune story referenced above, Falk said he found himself wanting to return to Logan.
"It was kind of the missing home," he said at the time. "But then my dad kind of kicked me in the rear, 'What are you doing?'"
Oaks Christian coach Bill Redell said he still sees Falk as a Division 1 quarterback, even though he made the decision last week to start Dawkins, instead.
"It was 1A, 1B," Redell said, "with Luke being 1A, but after the last game he went to 1B. He would have played for us, he would have played a lot for us. He may have won back the starting job later in the season."
The Falks had answered questions since first moving in December about the lengths wealthy parents will go to in pursuit of success for their kids. They were featured on a CNN special entitled "Extreme Parenting."
By Monday, Mike Falk said the move was a mistake.
"If anyone faces a similar situation, a similar decision, I would not discourage them from doing it," he said. "I would not encourage them to do it. But what I would do is offer anybody that wants to call me, I would be glad to share with them the reality of what they would be facing."

LoserLooking at The Real Remington Steele's title, I do not really know how one is supposed to figure out the trope itself. According to its laconic page the trope is "[t]he false alias a character creates turns out to be a real person, " but while I can kind of guess something about a false alias from the "real" part of the title, I do not think it really is clear enough. By looking at the title and description alone, I think the name is too work dependent and might be confused with the TV show Remington Steele. Also, the TV show's trope page says that "[t]he trope The Real Remington Steele, while not occurring in the show, takes its name from it, " which I think makes the name even more confusing.
The Real Remington Steele found in: 40 articles, excluding discussions. This title has brought 78 people to the wiki from non-search engine links since 20th FEB '09.The usage does not look awful to me, but I do not know that it is really great either I am not totally sure about this though since I am unfamiliar with Remington Steele. I guess this might be a preexisting term or something. That is why I want to know what other people think.

"Laura Holt (played by Stephanie Zimbalist) was a licensed private detective who first opened an agency under her own name, but found that potential clients refused to hire a woman, however qualified. Business picks up dramatically when she invents a fictitious male superior whom she names Remington Steele. "In the first episode ("License to Steele"), she encounters a Humphrey Bogart-loving thief (played by Pierce Brosnan) who overhears someone calling for "Remington Steele" and, in order to escape a pair of murderous thugs, impulsively assumes Remington Steele's identity. By the end of the episode, he chooses to make the alias permanent and assumes the role of Laura's "boss", an arrangement Laura tacitly accepts owing to the need to validate her backstory that she had earlier provided for her agency."

Dragon WriterI wager it's got bad examples and misuse, too.
So it's NOT about someone creating a fictional person, then having (or encountering) someone else who steps into the role and pretends to be the still-fictional person? Sheesh, based on the name, I thought that's what it meant... ETA: Yes, I see how the word "real" is supposed to clarify, because there was no "real" Remington Steele on the show, but you could just as equally say that "Harry Chalmers" (for lack of a real name) was representing himself to be the "real" Steele, so he counts...

LoserGiven that I do not seem to be alone in wanting a rename, I made a single proposition rename crowner here to help organize things. shimaspawn, I guess the connection is that a person is using a fake alias as if it were a real person. I think there also may be an aspect of the disguise taking on a life of its own as well.

^ I think this when the identity of The Ernest is assumed by someone else. (So, to use The Earnest's trope namer, in The Importance of Being Earnest, Ernest Worthington starts out as The Ernest but then becomes The Real Remington Steele when Algernon adopts the identity, and then becomes this trope again when it is revealed that Jack is actually Earnest himself. Edit: The Real Remington Steele doesn't require The Ernest, just a Secret Identity or Alter Ego. But if the two tropes are going to intersect, this is how it goes.

Dragon WriterI think some of the examples are bad. Take the mention of Mad-Eye Moody from Harry Potter 4: It's really a Death Eater impersonating Moody, but the audience doesn't learn that until the climax. Isn't impersonation a different trope entirely? It's not like Barty Jr. was fabricating his cover out of whole cloth....

Life is good for South Atlanta High basketball in the post-Derrick Favors era.
No, the Hornets aren't scheduled to play any games on national TV, as they did last year when Favors was on the roster. No, the stands aren't overcrowded with spectators, including college and NBA scouts, all clamoring to get a glimpse at Parade Magazine's and USA TODAY's National Player of the Year, who is now playing at Georgia Tech.
Nearly everything is different with South Atlanta this year except for one thing — the program's winning ways. The Hornets are off to a 14-1 start, including 8-0 in the region, and ranked No. 1 in Class AAA.
They are threatening to do what many thought was impossible — win back-to-back state championships without the superhero wearing the soon-to-be-retired No. 34 jersey in the middle of the lane.
"We're not as spectacular as we were with Derrick," South Atlanta coach Michael Reddick said. "We don't have that unquestioned leader with unmatched ability, the kid we can throw the ball to at any point on the court, and know that he will make something happen. Derrick Favors was a talent above most.
"However, Derrick is gone from our team. But we still have expectations for our program. Our kids want to win badly. That hasn't changed."
While Favors remains an icon among his former high school teammates, they still want to prove they can compete at the highest levels without him. It's not about disrespect toward Favors, but earning respect for this year's team.
South Atlanta can't go anywhere, especially on the road, without someone in the crowd reminding the team that Favors is no longer on the roster. Opposing fans have been known to chant "Where is … Fav-ors? Where is … Fav-ors?"
"We've had a lot of doubters this year, even at our own school," said South Atlanta forward Rashaud Bell. "You hear people say things in the stands during the games. They don't think we can really do anything with (Favors), but we just keeping working hard as a team. I think we're doing pretty well so far."
Not only did the Hornets lose their headline act with Favors, but also three other starters off the state championship squad, along with several key members off the bench.
"Other teams have been saying that this was going to be the year to get payback against us," South Atlanta center Nick Jacobs said. "But we ain't letting that happen."
Why isn't it happening? Because South Atlanta, despite returning only three players with varsity experience, has one of the state's most imposing frontlines with the 6-foot-9 Jacobs, 6-6 Bell, and 6-7 Dominique McCoy.
"When you have size and athleticism like that, you can get away with a lot of (youthful) mistakes," Woodland coach David Bice said after Tuesday's 73-56 loss to South Atlanta.
"I'm not surprised they're playing so well without Favors. They have a great coach, and he always makes those kids play with intensity."
Reddick is the stabling influence at South Atlanta, even though his season got off to a disastrous start. While demonstrating some defensive stances in gym class in last October, he blew out his left kneecap. He underwent surgery a few days later, and was forced to rest while the leg healed up. Reddick was only able to attend three practices before the season, and just returned working at the school part-time last week.
The time away from school and basketball had positive effects on Reddick.
"It re-energized me — made me realize how much I enjoyed coaching basketball," Reddick said on Tuesday, while walking with a slight limp.
"I have a new starting point again, with what we want to accomplish with this program."
Reddick has thrown a few tweaks in the offensive scheme to get all the players involved. The days of clearing out of the way to watch Favors put on a one-man show are history.
The heir apparent is Jacobs, who averages 22 points and already has more than a dozen early scholarship offers, including Florida State, Auburn, Alabama, Clemson, Tennessee and Virginia Tech. He sharpened his skills by competing against Favors in practice every day last year.
McKoy, who is also generating interest from major colleges, is scoring 17 per game. However, the difference-maker may be 5-7 sophomore guard James Arnold, who made five 3-pointers against Woodland.
When Arnold is hot from the outside, it stretches defenses to the perimeter, opening up the inside game for the big men.
Can South Atlanta defend its state championship without Favors?
Reddick sidesteps the question, saying that his teams aim for title runs every year. His focus is securing the Hornets a spot in the playoffs, because anything can happen in the postseason.
Two years ago, South Atlanta was a favorite to win the championship. However, the Favors-led Hornets were eliminated in the first round, suffering a shocking upset to East Hall.
"Hopefully, if things continue to come together, we can make another run," Reddick said. "It depends on how we improve over the next few weeks. We need to (peaking) around the time of the region tournament."
Maybe Favors can rub a little magic on his old team. He will be returning to South Atlanta to have his jersey retired on Jan. 26.

Somebody please tell me how does Region 4-AAA South Atlanta jump to number one in the Coaches polls over Region 3-AAA Liberty County. Liberty County has been dominating the Polls few the past few weeks and has not lost a game whereas South Atlanta has lost a game. Is this Atlanta Metro Politics again? First it was Region 3-AAAAA Bradwell Institute Ladies basketball, and now you have Liberty County Mens Basketball Team that are getting the Shaft….. It's leading me to believe that these polls are a farce, and should not taken seriously.

How's it going my friend? I told you once basketball season starts it's going to be all about The Columbia Eagles. I like what S. Atlanta has been doing recently but it doesn't compare to our run, even if it was in AAAA. If Liberty County makes it all the way, they'll be playing these boys from Decatur not S. Atlanta. Even with Favors it wasn't a cake walk against us last year in the final four. The biggest difference was playing in a weaker region in the regular season didn't really prepare for the post-season run, this year they've faced national powerhouses and will be ready when they travel to Macon. So mark it down the road to the AAA championship goes through Decatur.

Greetings Decatur 4 Life,
How are you? I decided to get on this blog every now and then to blog about basketball as well as footbal this year. I have nt had the chance to review Columbia of Decatur as of yet but I will today. But I will say that in zipcode 31313 (Hinesville Georgia) The Sports Dominance are beginning to switch from Region 3-AAAAA Bradwell Institute to Region 3-AAA Liberty County. The Mens Football has performed very well this year since this new School has been built. Now the Mens Basketball team is runnor the table against everyone they have came up against this year. Did'nt what class they were in or region. Last year the mens basketball team from Liberty County has done a good job as well at that time. Liberty county Ladies is also in the mix being ranked number nine in the Polls. Lets not forget aboput Region 3-AAAAA Bradwell Institute Ladies basketball tea whom last year made it to the elite eight losing to State Champios Redan. This year, Bradwell Institute Ladies Basketball under the direction of Coach Faye Baker, who is a Future Hall Of Famer is running the gamut in their Region and is finally ranked in the State. In my opinion, they should have been ranked earlier in the season. nevertheless, they are finally in the picture. This team is even better than last year. So, In Class AAAAA in South Georgia in Ladies basketball is with absolutely no doubt is Bradwell Institute ladies. I don't believe that in any Region in Class AAAAA in South Georgia could beat this Bradwell Ladies team this year. So North Georgia look out……

I hear you, I wish Bradwell's girls the best of luck but that Redan team is loaded again along with a couple others from the metro area. I was reading about the guards at Liberty County and at least on paper that should be a great matchup with us. We're built on size around the perimeter as well and so far their traps and 3/4 press have been giving teams fits. Just sounds like it has the potential for a great matchup, I'll be looking forward to it.

What planet are you from? What does where you from have to do with basketball? What team someone represents has nothing to do with where they're from. Neither George noe Fulton High had anything worth mentioning when you compare them to old teams from Douglass and Carver. Even Southside had decent teams with James Forrest but they couldn't win the big ones. I applaud the championship S. Atlanta won last season but let's not forget they've had a lot of hype in season passed and couldn't manage to make it. For your sake you better hope S. Atlanta doesn't run into us again because their behinds will be handed to them and it aint got nothing to do with being from outside the city limits

I read that same article in the AJC last week too. Lubie Geter I mmreeber his name all too well. I myself was ten years old at the height of the Atlanta Child Murders, but I don't mmreeber them saying anything about tapes or anything. (Knowing me, I was so freaked out and scared during that time, I might have seen something on the news about it and probably repressed it.) However, I do mmreeber my militant black power stepfather screaming about how the Klan ( those blue-eyed white devils he would yell much to my horror) were responsible. This was the sentiment of most of the adults in my life. But now, Tayari, you know if they would have stayed with the tape lead back then and it would have led to a true resolution of the case, where it was found that supremacists groups were involved, all hell would have broken lose. We would probably still be recovering from the riots and burning of Atlanta right now, some twenty-five years later.I, too, mmreeber all the feelings I had growing up at that time. No one walked to school alone. We all walked the short eight minute walk to school in thick packs. I mmreeber always checking to make sure I had the special white whistles the school gave us to use just in case we needed help. I mmreeber crying and being frantic early one Monday morning because I couldn't find my whistle before walking to school (I was a latchkey kid and home alone).But worst of all, I mmreeber sneaking out of the house one summer day and going to hang with some girls that had formed a neighborhood club (I always wanted to be down with the popular girls). My mother came home early from work that day, and thought I was missing. When I finally came home a few hours later (thinking I was being slick and getting home right before she would arrive home from work) there were police cars parked at my house, and my mother was frantically crying to them. I got the worse whipping of my life that day. And now, some twenty-five years later, my mother is still pissed about it I can still hear the anger in her voice when she talks about the day she thought I was snatched.Yes, and even now, living in Atlanta now, I still sit wide-eyed in front of the television whenever Monica Kaufman talks about what's currently going on with the current investigation Tayari, I hope with all this modern technology, forensic and otherwise, that's available now that some leeway is made in this case. Or hopefully, if someone who knows something grows a conscience and comes forward and sheds some light on the Atlanta child Murders case because you know someone, somewhere knows something.
