Discussion about their combined achievements when it comes to the Hartford community and beyond could have taken up juice and coffee time and beyond at the Hartford Business Journal's 5th Annual Lifetime Achievement Awards breakfast at the Bond Ballroom Wednesday.
But instead, the honorees, Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network president/CEO Jerry Franklin, CBIA president/CEO John Rathgeber, C& R Development president/CEO Curtis Robinson and Sullivan & LeShane managing partner Eugene "Gene" Sheehan were just happy to field good wishes and accolades and reflect on what for them, was simply giving back.
"It's just about doing the right thing, the things you can," said Robinson, who, among his many accomplishments, founded The Men's Health Institute at St. Francis Hospital. "I'd do what I could not matter what," he said. "Being recognized is nice, but it's not the reason for what I do."

Two things you should know if you are a Johnny Damon fan.
You can see him on television in January on 'Celebrity Apprentice,' and you won't be seeing him playing any more professional baseball.

The word of the night at the Mark Twain House & Museum Tuesday was "wicked" and it had nothing to do with Halloween.
The evening was a VIP reception for "Wicked" book author Gregory Maguire and "Wicked" musical composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, the guests of honor at Twain's annual "Mark My Words" program called "A Wicked Good Evening!"
The reception, a pre-cursor to the Courant theater critic Frank Rizzo -moderated program at the Bushnell, begged just one chit chat, cocktail party question…What was the most "wicked" thing you have ever done?
While there was some initial trepidation and quick mental editing, those who were sipping wine and snacking on appetizers or singing books smiled as they remembered childhood antics and some adult naughtiness, opting to only tell the PG-rated tales that in some cases, their parents till didn't know about.

Irrespective of what has gone in this series and what lies ahead, Ishant Sharma's mesmeric spell to Ricky Ponting will remain one of the highlights of this series, and will be remembered for years to come
January 19, 2008
Irrespective of what has gone in this series and what lies ahead, Ishant Sharma's mesmeric spell to Ricky Ponting will remain one of the highlights of the series, and will be remembered for years to come. Cricket lovers still talk about the working-over Andrew Flintoff gave Ponting at Edgbaston but that lasted only one over. Here at the WACA, the torment continued for an hour. Harbhajan Singh has had his number for some time now but rarely has Ponting been shown up as so vulnerable for such a long period of time since he established himself as Australia's best batsman. That Ishant is 19 and playing his fourth Test only added to the drama and romance.
Ishant had a close lbw against Ponting turned down last evening and, given the ball in the fifth over of the innings, he made it talk. In his first over, an edge from Michael Hussey fell just short of second slip, and in the next over, which was nearly as sensational as Flintoff's, he could have had Ponting twice. One ball jagged in and had Ponting fending; another, that perfect ball which is every right-arm bowler's dream, came in with arm and left Ponting as he shaped to defend, missing the edge by a whisker. And then one came in to trap Ponting in front; it was a decision the umpire wouldn't have been roasted for had he given it to the bowler, but only a doubt about the height will have saved Ponting.
Many would have been excused for thinking that the moment had passed, for an exceptional over such as that would be hard to reproduce, certainly by a bowler of his experience. But Ishant charged on, hurrying Ponting, cutting him in half with a ball that rose and cut off the seam and got him to mistime repeatedly. With every over, Ponting seemed to have weathered the storm for undoubtedly the young man couldn't carry on for ever. Indeed, RP Singh was seen approaching the bowling end after Ishant had bowled seven overs, but a last-minute change of mind - prompted by Virender Sehwag, his Delhi captain - kept Ishant in the fray and the reward came off the very next ball.
It was almost the same ball that got Ponting in the first innings. It pitched around the off stump and rose and left Ponting, who could only edge it to Rahul Dravid at first slip. It was one of those moments where you just had to suspend your national loyalties and rejoice in the triumph of a spirited and skilful youngster over one of the titans of his age. Justice would have got a bad name had he been denied.
Ishant made it to Australia only because of injuries to Sreesanth and Munaf Patel, and played in Sydney because Zaheer Khan went home. But in his short international career so far, he has got better by every Test. Against Pakistan in Bangalore, he shook off a couple of indifferent early spells to claim five wickets in the first innings, and in Sydney, he bowled far better than his returns - no wicket for 146 - suggested. Certainly, he had Andrew Symonds caught behind, only to be denied by Steve Bucknor who failed to hear a thumping edge.
Ishant's ability to get the ball to rise and bowl long spells - last year he bowled 15 successive overs in searing heat in Vijayawada against Andhra Pradesh to earn Delhi a draw they desperately needed - was well known. But in this Test, he showed another facet: getting the ball to hold its line, and even move it a shade away. From the angle he comes in and with the bounce he can generate, that's a deadly ball when he can get the line right. It's no coincidence that all his three wickets in this Test came with that ball.
When they look up the scorecard years later, Ishant Sharma will be found to have only one entry in the wickets column in the second innings. But scorecards don't often tell the story. It was a day when Ishant Sharma shook up Ricky Ponting and set up a famous win.

REAL APARTMENTS: If you recall, TOA got tired of all the painfully gorgeous, massive NY apartment tours on the Internet because it made us…sad. Our apartments will never look like those apartments. Because those apartments are 2837438294732894 million dollars.
So say hey to native-New Yorker, former thisoldhouse intern, and all-around lover of NYC, Victoria Reitano. Miss Vix is a digital producer and social media consultant who has "done time" at LIVE with Kelly and Michael, Bethenny and The Meredith Vieira Show…and she's fab, obviously. Here's what she had to say about her quick apt spruce up earlier today:
Added some wall shelves and moved some furniture around to give my apartment a bit more character. It's a cheap upgrade that's #DIY and quite painless! #vixinthecity Also, how can anything be wrong when you have gorgeous sunflowers!
We LOVE the ombre curtains and fresh sunflowers.
Hm. Might be time to update TOH magazine business cards! via Instructables -ts
Use affordable chicken wire to create this ultra-creepy Halloween "apparition." Here's how via thisoldhouse:
Step 1:
Form the head: Center the wire piece over your wig form, bowl, or vase. Using your hands, press and pinch the wire into a convex shape for the top of the head. As you work your way down, cinch the hexes more tightly and permanently together where needed, using needle-nose pliers to crimp the wire. Keep going until you've got a bell-shaped form that extends to just below the nose.
Step 2:
Form the chin, neck, and face: Start by pinching the hexes to form the pointy part of the chin. Use the wire snips as needed to clip the wire in a curve roughly following the jawline, so that you can fold and overlap the wire underneath to define the chin and neck. For the back of the head and the nape of the neck, clip the wire vertically and overlap the pieces slightly to form a seam to contour and narrow this area. Continue shaping the wire with your fingers to form the nose, lips, chin, and neck. You'll now have a head and neck "emerging" from a somewhat flat base of chicken wire.
Step 3:
Make the shoulders: With the head facing you, snip the wire on each side, where the shoulders will go, to about 6 inches from the head. Make the snips close to the corners of the hexes, which will create longer prongs on the cut sides that can be used for attaching pieces later. Overlap the flaps to form the shoulders and the top of the torso, and secure them using the prongs of the cut wire.
Step 4:
Make the torso and thighs: Form the wire piece into a cylinder, overlapping the ends by about 3 inches. Attach this to the base of the shoulders; snip the wire on the edges if needed to fasten the two pieces together. Eyeball your ghost to decide where the waist should be, and shape the wire by hand to form it. Create the thighs by snipping the wire vertically in the center front and back, along the "inseam"; bend and fasten each side into thighs.
Step 5:
Form the arms: To create the straight left arm, form the wire piece into a cylinder, as you did with the torso, but slightly overlap the piece at an angle, so you'll form a thicker upper arm and thinner lower arm. For the right bent arm, form a bigger cylinder with one piece and a smaller one with the other; fasten them together at a roughly 120-degree angle to form the elbow. Attach each arm to the torso; you may need to clip off a bit of wire near the armpits to do this. With your fingers, contour the wire to look more like arms, with elbows, wrists, and hands. (Bonus points if you create fingers!)
Step 6:
Make the lower legs: Form cylinders from the wire pieces; attach to the thighs at angles to form the knees. Angle the legs so it appears that your ghost is out for a stroll.
Step 7:
Make the feet: Form cylinders from the wire pieces. Flatten the cylinders slightly to make soles on the bottoms, and cinch closed one end of each to form toes. Fasten the feet to the calves.
Step 8:
Make the ax: Fold the wire piece in half so that it measures 12 inches by 6 inches. On the open side of the rectangle, cut out a portion of wire measuring roughly 4 inches by 8 inches, leaving the remainder as an ax-like shape. Overlap the wires along the seams to secure them and to firm up the ax's handle and blade. Attach the handle to the right hand of your ghost, bending and contouring the hand as needed.
Step 9:
Put the ghost on display. To help it stand upright, you may need to attach it with rope or wire to a nearby tree, shrub, or part of your house. Or hang the ghost from a tree limb, using several loops of heavy-duty fishing line just taut enough so that its feet rest on the ground.

SPLURGE: Opus Shelving Systems are an oldie but goodie. Get the look via wayfair ($475) or take our DIY dare to build it yourself! -ts
On a good day at the local Dollar Tree, you could do this for under $5. -ts
As shelter content goes, it seems you've got to be a 242-sq.-ft. closet of an apartment OR a $6M West Village rowhouse just to get some love from the Internets. But let's be real for just a minute: if YOU live in a just-normal-sized, largely unremarkable urban apartment (maybe with roommates and perhaps a smart storage hack here and there) SHOW US. We'll send you a prezzie for your troubles (if you submit by the end of Sept) and might feature you here at TOA.
Here's a lil' nugget from me: If you stand at my coffee table-slash-storage chest you can prettymuch see my whole place…still way bigger than a closet, though. And heere ends your tour! -ts

How to Play: Twins
Filed under: Activities: Toddlers & Preschoolers, Activities: Big Kids, Activities: Tweens, Activities: Family Time, Kids' Games
What you need: All you need are players.
How to play: Pair each player up with another player, and have them stand in a circle with each pair of partners holding hands. Choose one pair to be "it," and they will be runners.
The rules: The runners go around the outside of the circle and tag a pair of joined hands. The runners quickly run one direction while the tagged team races in the other direction. The first pair back to the vacated spot gets to keep the spot, and the other pair becomes "it."
How to win: You can keep up with which pair is never "it" and award that pair as the winners.
What else you need to know: This game can get a bit rough, so you may want to set up rules for passing so no one gets hurt.

UPDATED: Coke Zero 400 resumes after rain delay
Jul 6, 2014, 10:54 AM EDT
UPDATE 9 (12:08 pm ET): The Coke Zero 400 has resumed after about a 22-minute rain delay and resulting red flag race stoppage. Matt Kenseth is back at the front of the field, followed by pole sitter David Gilliland. The big question now is how long will it be before the next rain stoppage. Rain is visible on the National Weather Service radar, but we should be able to get perhaps to Lap 50 before we need to worry about more rain. Remember, this is a 160-lap race, so drivers only need to get to 81 laps (one lap past halfway) for it to be an official race if rain continues to be an issue going forward for the remainder of the day. The NWS is still predicting 60 percent chance of thunderstorms this afternoon.
UPDATE 8 (12:01 pm ET): Drivers are back in their race cars and track dryers are on their way back off-track. We expect engines will be fired momentarily and cars will be back on-track. We expect at least one, possibly two pace laps before the green flag falls for the second time today.
UPDATE 7 (11:53 am ET): Although sun is showing on the front stretch, the race remains under red flag conditions. However, there's more bad news — aka RAIN — on the horizon, based on National Weather Service radar.
UPDATE 6 (11:36 am ET): The race has been red-flagged due to rain on Lap 11. Cars are back on pit road and some are having tarps placed over them.
UPDATE 5 (11:35 am ET): The race remains under caution and SportingNews.com's Bob Pockrass is reporting that NASCAR has told the Air Titan track dryers to "power up."
UPDATE 4 (11:26 am ET): Mother Nature has once again stepped in the way of NASCAR's Coke Zero 400. The race is under caution after just six laps as rain has again begun to fall, primarily in turns 1 and 2. Oddly, the sun has again popped out around Turns 3 and 4. Matt Kenseth is in the lead, while pole sitter David Gilliland has dropped to second.
UPDATE 3 (11:22 am ET): We are underway for the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway. Clean start. Track looks dry. Now the big question is how long will Mother Nature cooperate? Will teams' strategy be solely to get to halfway in the event more rain comes? If that's the case, this could become a sprint to an 81-lap race (one lap past halfway of the scheduled 160 laps).
UPDATE 2 (11:17 pm ET): Sun is shining on the frontstretch of the massive 2.5-mile, high-banked Daytona International Speedway and the green flag is still waiting to fall. There are reports of sprinkles around the track. After the lights on the pace car were turned off and it appeared we were ready to go green, the lights are back on the pace car for at least one extra pace lap.
The National Weather Service is forecasting a 60 percent chance of thunderstorms this afternoon and 40 percent in the evening.
UPDATE (11:10 am ET): The command to start engines has been given and we've begun pace laps.
NASCAR vice president of operations Steve O'Donnell just tweeted that rain is outside Turns 1 and 2.
ORIGINAL STORY: The good news: The rain-postponed Coke Zero 400 is due to start shortly after 11 am ET this morning at Daytona International Speedway.
The bad news: Rain is once again in the forecast. The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather warning for Daytona Beach and points south.
While the skies have been partly sunny for much of the morning, dark clouds are definitely on the horizon west of Daytona Beach.
A check of the NWS radar at 10:50 am ET shows a storm cell due west of Daytona and moving northeastward. However, once that cell were to pass, there's little chance of rain for at least the following few hours. There are storms on the west coast of Florida, but it's too early to predict if they'll go cross-state and impact the Daytona Beach area or not.
The race is due to be televised on TNT, which could result in a Heidi-like backlash from viewers, as Lord of the Ring: The Fellowship of the King began at 9 am ET and is slated to run until 12:45 pm ET. It's expected the network will switch to the NASCAR telecast at 11 am ET. There will be no pre-race show, with the green flag slated to fall some time around 11:10 to 11:15 pm ET.
We'll be back with more race and weather updates as they become available.

On Sunday night, the Boston Celtics abused the Brooklyn Nets on the glass, collectively out-rebounding them 50-42, with only a late push closing that gap within single digits.
After the game, Lionel Hollins admonished his team for a lack of toughness. "You gotta hit first," Hollins said about his team's issues on the inside, with center Mason Plumlee his key target.
He acknowledged that Plumlee "didn't play poorly," but also said that "we need... a primary rebounder, and with (Brook Lopez and Kevin Garnett) out, I was hoping he would come out and show a big splash on the glass." Plumlee finished with just four rebounds in 21 minutes, one fewer than Joe Johnson.
Plumlee responded in a big way, grabbing 17 rebounds against the assorted collection of human men contractually obligated to wear a Philadelphia 76ers uniform. But can he keep it going?
History says: probably not.

Do Social Media Rob You of True Friends or Give You More of Them?
150, 50, 15, 5. Those are the magic numbers in the sociology of friendship, according to University of Oxford professor Robin Dunbar.
We live in a time of information abundance, which far too many of us see as information overload. With the sum total of human knowledge, past and present, at our fingertips, we're faced with a crisis of attention: which ideas should we engage with, and why? Big Think is an evolving roadmap to the best thinking on the planet — the ideas that can help you think flexibly and act decisively in a multivariate world.
A word about Big Ideas and Themes — The architecture of Big Think
Big ideas are lenses for envisioning the future. Every article and video on bigthink.com and on our learning platforms is based on an emerging "big idea" that is significant, widely relevant, and actionable. We're sifting the noise for the questions and insights that have the power to change all of our lives, for decades to come. For example, reverse-engineering is a big idea in that the concept is increasingly useful across multiple disciplines, from education to nanotechnology.
Themes are the seven broad umbrellas under which we organize the hundreds of big ideas that populate Big Think. They include New World Order, Earth and Beyond, 21st Century Living, Going Mental, Extreme Biology, Power and Influence, and Inventing the Future.
Browse videos featuring experts across a wide range of disciplines, from personal health to business leadership to neuroscience.
Big Think's contributors offer expert analysis of the big ideas behind the news.

Opeth simply fails as a band, at least to me. While I'll admit to never fully understanding the amazement and awe so many have for this band, I've appreciated them from afar.

So really, what does anyone expect when you get a Cannibal Corpse release handed to you? Ballads, love songs and fun? Not hardly.

Unless you call Testament a "thrash band" (which I don't personally), Exodus would rank as my favorite true Thrash band of all time. They have had good times and bad.

As a fan of Mr. Big, I can't honestly say that many people thought that their reunion was much more than a cash grab opportunity for the guys in the band who, while immensely talented, failed to find solo success to match their collaborative efforts.

Sometimes I judge things without ever giving them a chance. This happens primarily because I get 30-40 releases to review. That said, if there's zero in the 1/10 of a second when I see the initial press release that interests me, a release goes low in the review pile. Most times, enough new stuff comes in where I don't end up getting to it. Halestorm is one of those bands that I just missed for what i guess has been 3 years. I remember when their debut came out I thought, based solely on the name of the band, that they were one of those horrible Celtic Folk Metal bands that Nuclear Blast seems to try to force me to like every quarter. I'll admit it, I judged this book by its cover (in this case, their name). Sorry about that.
Apparently it's three years of loss on my part though, as Halestorm is excellent. THE STRANGE CASE OF... is nothing less than adrenaline filled, aggressive hard rock with a female singer that just oozes attitude. I love it, love it, love it! From listening to THE STRANGE CASE OF..., I think I would hate dating someone like vocalist Lzzy Hale, but that in no means says I don't like hearing her tell her tales. Hale is the perfect frontwoman. Her voice is clean when it needs to be, features some attitude fueled snarling when emphasis is needed, and is clearly real with her message from song to song. Tracks like "Here's To Us" and "You Call Me A Bitch Like It's A Bad Thing" are compelling to listen to, yet would scare anyone off from ever trying to date this attitude filled lady. Her singing is the ultimate dichotomy of vocal perfection and overtly pushy feminism that would scare most guys away from even trying to find a bond with her. I'm the first one to realize that doesn't exactly sound appealing, but I assure you it is. Without sounding at all like her, the overall vibe of THE STRANGE CASE OF... that Hale creates reminds me a lot of the jilted lover looking for revenge thing that Alanis Morissette created with JAGGED LITTLE PILL.
That said though, Halestorm is a completely different vibe than Morissette because they are a far superior musical outfit. Putting a description to them musically, they are much closer in sound to bands like Buckcherry than to traditional, female fronted active rock bands.
PITRIFF RATING - 89/100 - THE STRANGE CASE OF... is a very solid effort that will almost certainly entertain any fan of active rock out there today. It's full of attitude, and features the musical chops to match it. Halestorm is one of those bands people should look for in 2012. From the sound of THE STRANGE CASE OF..., they might not be that hard to find.

Black & Decker said its first-quarter earnings declined steeply. Earnings for the quarter ended March 29 were US$4.9 million, compared to $67.4 million for the first quarter of last year.
Sales decreased 28% for the quarter to $1.1 billion, including a negative 5% impact from foreign currency translation.
Nolan D. Archibald, chairman and chief executive officer, said: "End-market conditions, particularly in Europe and the automotive industry, continued to deteriorate sharply in the first quarter. Therefore, Black & Decker's sales were lower than we had anticipated." Archibald said he expects the economic climate to continue to negatively impact business for the remainder of the year.

The Jamaican Web site, the Gleaner, posted recipes for dishes featuring caterpillars and cockroaches.
The site noted that caterpillars are a popular food source because they are common over most of the world. They can be eaten raw, fried, baked or even dried and stored for use at a later date.
As far as cockroaches, the Web site reports that they are best served simmered in vinegar then boiled with butter, farina flour, pepper and salt to make a paste.

Juan V López. God #1, Family #1A. Fitness. Nutrition. Writer. Nu Alpha Kappa. UNR. MBA Candidate. Online Marketer. Entrepreneur. Workin' Hard & Stayin' Humble. On the pursuit of my purpose. I will change the world.
These bad boys finally came in the mail yesterday. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't proud to have them, but I'd also be lying if I said they meant something to me.
The diplomas themselves don't mean anything to me.
Yes, they're a symbol of the required course work I had to complete, but they don't represent the trials I endured, the sacrifices I made, the outside-the-classroom experiences I went through, the times I cried because of the overwhelming stress, the things I learned through my fraternity, the wonderful people I met, the expectations I exceeded, or the relationship with God I cultivated along the way.
These are things only I know and they're what I'll truly take away from my college experience. They define my time as an undergraduate and my path to who I am now. Not these diplomas.
But still, big congratulations to everyone who's been fortunate enough to attain a degree in any field and good luck to those still on the journey to getting one. Knowledge is power.
Either way, I'm excited to mail these home to my dad so he can show them off in his living room. And hopefully within these next few years I'll have a some master's and doctorate's diplomas to send home, too.
Happy Thursday & God bless!

Bus Drivers Honor One Of Their Own -- Memorial For Mark Mclaughlin
Seattle Times Staff Reporters
Slain Metro bus driver Mark McLaughlin was remembered at a memorial service today as a spirited, fun-loving man whose life must not be mourned, but rather cheered and applauded.
At the service at KeyArena, attended by bus drivers from throughout the region, King County Executive Ron Sims called McLaughlin "an individual who loved life, who had good things to say to everyone."
Sims asked the gathering of drivers, passengers, dignitaries and relatives to stand up and greet those next to them with handshakes, hugs and kind words.
Noting that the memorial was in a sports arena - a venue of celebration - Sims said, "I want you to give a shout for Mark McLaughlin, so he can hear it in heaven."
That drew a loud, sustained cheer and round of applause for McLaughlin, who was fatally shot by a passenger 11 days ago as he drove a bus from Aurora Village into Seattle.
The memorial service began late this morning after a procession through downtown Seattle of some 80 transit buses and vans - one bus bearing a black wreath and ribbons in McLaughlin's memory.
His murder at the hands of passenger Silas Cool was "a tragedy that flashed into our living room and made us all stop and take assessments of what's important," U.S. Sen. Patty Murray told the audience.
Too many public servants are taken for granted, she said.
"Mark McLaughlin reminded this entire community . . . that each of us needs to take time out of our lives to say thank you to those who work tirelessly around us.
"He did his job with dignity and respect," she said, expressing thanks to all drivers at the service.
"We all thank you for the work you do, for being there day in and day out, for caring about the strangers as well as the friends who board your buses every day."
Along with Metro drivers, bus drivers also came from Portland and British Columbia not just to pay their respects but to express shared feelings of kinship and concern.
"We stick together," said Lyle Smordin of West Vancouver Municipal Transit, one of about 100 drivers and three buses from British Columbia. "We are all brothers and sisters in this."
"We come together not only to acknowledge him, but to support each other," said Metro transit union president Barry Samet. "This has been a tragic incident, but we will all get through it together."
"We are a family," Samet added. "We might leave our job sites and go our separate ways, but on the job we are truly brothers and sisters."
McLaughlin was driving bus route 359 when, without warning, Cool stood up and fatally shot him, then killed himself.
After McLaughlin lost control of the bus, it careened off the Aurora Bridge, falling some 50 feet and injuring 34 passengers. One passenger, 69-year-old Herman Liebelt, died in a hospital the next day.
Because so many Metro drivers participated in today's procession and memorial service, local bus service was delayed on many routes this morning.
Metro expected that to happen and encouraged riders earlier in the week to find other ways to get around.
Slaying hit drivers hard
McLaughlin's murder hit drivers around the area hard, said Del Walker, 40, one of 15 drivers from Bellingham-based Whatcom Transportation Authority who brought a bus to Seattle for the procession.
"It was a shock, but - and I hate to say this - we knew it was only a matter of time - you never know who's sitting next to you," he said.
"It's something that all of us as drivers fear, the potential for violent acts. It's something we want to make a statement about, that we are aware of it, and concerned."
Two Seattle police officers on motorcycles led the procession to KeyArena, followed by Metro police cars, a tow truck and Metro bus No. 2106, which fellow Metro drivers had cleaned, repaired and decorated yesterday in McLaughlin's memory. That bus number was selected because it was also McLaughlin's badge number.
Photo and jacket adorn bus
McLaughlin's photo and a uniform jacket hanging behind the driver's seat were among the things that adorned the bus. Purple ribbons, 32 of them, filling almost half of the seats, represent those who lived through the accident. Black ribbons memorialize McLaughlin, 44, and Liebelt.
There is no marking for Cool.
"The union made the decision to leave (Cool's) seat unmarked out of respect and sensitivity for Mark," said Metro driver Patricia Naumann.
The memorial bus was followed by a vintage red Metro bus carrying McLaughlin's family and Samet. A third bus carried local officials.
We're all vulnerable
"It's a very sad day," said King County Councilman Greg Nichols. "Whenever someone is in public service, they put themselves on the line. And a senseless crime like this shows how vulnerable we all are.'
Yesterday, Naumann called McLaughlin "a unique and wonderful man. But he also represents each one of us."
"Every one of us knows that, as unbelievable as it seems, that could have happened to us. The door opens to everyone - that's part of what's wonderful about mass transit. But you never know who will get on.
"There's a paradox to the job we do," Naumann added. "We are always moving, but we're stationary. We see lots of money, but we never touch a penny. We deal with hundreds of people, but no one knows our names. It's a humble, self-effacing job, but it carries a tremendous responsibility. What happened to Mark is every driver's nightmare."
Union organized service
The procession and service were organized by the transit union. Larry Montgomery, an executive member of the union, said it wanted to show that it "is not just about work and grievances and labor-management issues. It's about what we can do working together to support one another."
Chiefly, he said, the event was planned as a tribute to McLaughlin, a Metro driver since 1979, and as a memorial to McLaughlin and Liebelt.
Another important goal, Montgomery said, was to thank police and fire crews and good Samaritans who helped the accident victims. Save taxi receipts
Metro said passengers unable to reach their destination through their regular bus service between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. today will be reimbursed for taxi fare.
Spokesman Dan Williams said passengers must save their receipts and submit them to Metro.
Sims apologized for the inconvenience. "We ask for the public's understanding as we allow our employees to attend the service for a colleague and friend. This is like a death in the family," he said, adding that the service, "will help us all bring closure to a tragedy."
As part of the memorial, King County has announced plans to retire the number 359 as a route designation.
