Justices Express Sympathy for EPA's Tack on Pollution Crossing State Lines
Agency Focuses on Using Most Cost-Effective Methods to Cut Emissions
WASHINGTON—Supreme Court justices on Tuesday expressed sympathy for the Environmental Protection Agency's approach to air pollution that crosses state lines, in a case testing the high court's view of environmental regulations opposed by industry.
The EPA released its Cross-State Air Pollution Rule in 2011, saying it wanted to protect "downwind" states from pollution they couldn't control. But a coalition of "upwind" states and utility and mining industry groups challenged the rule, which focuses on overall...

Back To Arrangement keeps lighting up
- Live Versions: 1 - 10
- Operating System: All
The Back To Arrangement button unexpectedly lights up as soon as Arrangement playback is started.
The problem might be caused by:
- Third-party plug-ins - some of them reset specific parameters when playback is started. This may happen for valid reasons, but could also indicate plug-in problems.
- MIDI feedback loops - these are caused by certain connected MIDI hardware. The settings on the hardware and/or in Live and can cause constant firing of MIDI data to Live.
- Broken MIDI controllers - they might send erratic MIDI data to Live.
- By removing third-party plug-ins from the Live set one by one, find out the problematic plug-ins and try to avoid using them.
- Get rid of MIDI feedback loops by changing the port settings in Live or the MIDI hardware settings.
- Check the MIDI mappings in the Live's mapping browser or disconnect the MIDI controllers.
Additional Information
To find out more about the Back To Arrangement button in this context, please have a look into the Live manual, chapter 18.3.

Jurors in the public corruption trial of six former officials in the suburban city of Bell have gone home for the weekend without reaching a verdict.
They will resume deliberations Monday.
Bell's former mayor and five former City Council members are charged with inflating their salaries to nearly $100,000 a year.
Prosecutors say the officials paid themselves to serve on boards and commissions that did no work.
The former council members maintain they worked long hours and earned the salaries.
The jury of seven women and five men has now deliberated a full week since one member was replaced for misconduct.
After that juror's dismissal, the new panel had to start deliberations over from the beginning.
Before adjourning Friday, jurors asked the judge to clarify some of her instructions.

SMILA/Documentation/Architecture Overview
This page describes the short overview of SMILA's current architecture.
SMILA is a framework that runs on top of OSGi runtime and therefore follows its component model.
Architecture Overview
This architecture overview depicts generally two processes: preprocessing and information retrieval.
Note: In case where SMILA is used for building a search application, we talk about indexing and search process.
The preprocessing process generally includes the interaction with the data source either by pushing (updated) data by agents or by pulling data by crawlers and pushing it into the system via the connectivity module. The information that could be pushed into the framework is in general document's metadata, content and diverse security relevant information i.e. access rights. All this information is being persisted in dedicated stores. Metadata and access rights are stored in Record store. Content i.e. (large) binary data is stored in the binary store. Beside these two storages, SMILA also offers Delta Indexing store for keeping information about visited objects/documents during a crawling of a data source. Ontology store is a dedicated store for persisting and managing ontologies. The Blackboard service represents a high level API for accessing record information. After a record has been stored a new processing message has been created and pushed into a specific queue by a router. On the other side of a queue listeners are consuming messages, initializing Blackboard and starting a BPEL engine which executes desired workflow. The workflow again is defined by the order of execution of some services either provided by the framework itself or implemented by application's developer. Since listeners can consume messages remotely the preprocessing can easily be spread and therefore parallelized across the whole cluster. Thus the message queue is the central framework component which enables horizontal scaling of the preprocessing process in the framework. Message queue also introduces asynchronous execution of the business logic.
The information retrieval provides a swift access to previously preprocessed and stored information. Since this process is synchronous there has to be some external component responsible for distributing the load and therefore enabling the horizontal scalability of the information retrieval process. The flexible definition and execution of application's business logic is provided here also by calling a BPEL engine with a desired workflow.
Hint: For initial architecture proposal please see the archived version.

H. Truman Barrett, 101 - March 18, 2009
H. Truman Barrett, 101, of Eustis, died Thursday, March 12, 2009, at the Gothenburg Memorial Hospital Long Term Care.
Services were held on Monday, March 16, at the United Methodist Church of Eustis with the Revs. Art Phillips and Cliff Transmeier officiating. Burial took place at the Westview Cemetery.
Barrett was born Oct. 14, 1907, at Orafino, to Harley and Pearl (Bailey) Barrett. He attended Orafino High School, after which he worked on the family farm southwest of Eustis.
On May 1, 1931, he married Ruth E. Heater at McCook. The couple resided on the family farm where they raised their children. In the mid 1940's, Barrett expanded his farm into the Hereford cattle business.
Upon retirement in 1977, he and his wife moved to Eustis, where she preceded him in death in 1999.
Barrett was an active member of local civic affairs. He served on various rural school boards, the Frontier County Historical Society, the Farnam Nazarene Church Board, Frontier County Farm Bureau, the Eustis Village Board, Stowe Cemetery Board and the 4-H Senior Partner's Program. He also organized the Rolling Meadows 4-H Beef Club and was a lifetime member of the American Hereford Association.
He was a member of the Free Methodist Church during his younger years, and later became a member of the Farnam Nazarene Church. He also joined the Gideon's International upon retirement.
?Barrett was an avid Scrabble player and an NU football fan. He enjoyed studying the Bible and spending time with family and friends as well as participating as an active member of the Eustis Senior Center.
?He was preceded in death by: his wife, Ruth; a grandson, Kurt Miller; an infant great-granddaughter, Brittany Lee Burton; three sisters and one brother.
Survivors include: his three daughters—Kathleen (Richard) Miller of Cambridge, Rosalie (Wayne) Joy of Kimball, and Gwen (Loren) Carlisle of Colon, MI; a son, Bruce (Loretta) Barrett of Gothenburg; 11 grandchildren—Trisha (Bill) Moore of Cambridge, Coralyn (Bill) Burton of McCook, Michelle (Dudley) Scharff of Minden, Barbara (Rodney) Wolf of Ogallala, Bryan (Cassandra) Barrett of Dexter, OR, Barry Barrett of Pensacola, FL, Brent (Sharon) Joy of Clearwater, FL, Yvette (Allen) Stanley of Aurora, CO, Vanessa (Michael) West of Chicago, IL, Vonda (Eric) Bryce of Grandville, MI, and Elizabeth Carlisle of Chicago, IL; 26 great-grandchildren and 11 great-great-grandchildren.

From Ma'an:
President Mahmoud Abbas wrote to US President Barack Obama on Saturday to offer his condolences after a shooting in an American elementary school killed 26 people.
In 1974, the Palestinian Arabs innovated the idea of attacking a school and killing students. From Wikipedia:
The Ma'alot massacre[1] was a terrorist attack in 1974 which included a two-day hostage-taking of 115 people which ended in the deaths of over 25 hostages. It began when three armed Palestinian terrorists of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine[2] entered Israel from Lebanon. Soon afterwards they attacked a van, killing two Israeli Arab women while injuring a third and entered an apartment building in the town of Ma'alot, where they killed a couple and their four-year-old son.[3] From there, they headed for the Netiv Meir elementary school, where they took more than 115 people (including 105 children) hostage on 15 May 1974, in Ma'alot. Most of the hostages were teenagers from a high school in Safad on a Gadna field trip spending the night in Maalot. The hostage-takers soon issued demands for the release of 23 Palestinian militants from Israeli prisons, or else they would kill the students. On the second day of the standoff, a unit of the Golani Brigade stormed the building. During the takeover, the hostage-takers killed the children with grenades and automatic weapons. Ultimately, 25 hostages, including 22 children, were killed and 68 more were injured.
Yes, Abbas' brave Palestinian fighters murdered more children in a school than Adam Lanza did on Friday.
(A month earlier another group of Palestinian Arab terrorists stormed a school but it was a holiday. They still managed to kill 8 children, though.)
On January 1, Fatah – which Abbas heads – will celebrate an anniversary. But it is not the anniversary of Fatah's founding – no one celebrates that – but the anniversary of the first terror attack by Fatah, in 1964.
The official PA TV still celebrates massacres against Israeli civilians and the terrorists who were behind them. Today.
Abbas claims to the West that he is against terror, but the actions of his own party and his own government show that praising terror attacks is part of the Palestinian Arab culture. Abbas himself has praised terrorists, including child-killers.
The fact is that you will be hard pressed to find a Palestinian Arab leader that would condemn the Ma'alot attack in 1974, or is the slightest bit embarrassed by it.
Abbas' "condolences" ring very, very hollow.
Hypocritical condolences from Abbas to Obama on school shootingDecember 16, 2012

| WMU News
KALAMAZOO, Mich.—The Bernard Osher Foundation has selected Western Michigan University to become the newest member of the celebrated national network of lifelong learning programs it supports.
WMU's Academy of Lifelong Learning, which has been offering classes for older adults in southwest Michigan since 2011, is now the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Western Michigan University. The agreement, effective April 1, comes with an operating grant of $100,000 from the foundation to WMU. Once the institute demonstrates success and potential for sustainability, the Osher Foundation will consider awarding an endowment of $1 million to provide permanent support for WMU's lifelong learning initiative, which is administered by Extended University Programs.
"We're enormously pleased about this relationship with Osher, which is the nation's premier name in lifelong learning," says Dr. John M. Dunn, president of WMU. "The addition of resources and the opportunity to be part of the Osher network will result in even broader success for our program that is already enthusiastically received by the citizens of the communities we serve."
WMU's program will join Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes at 117 other colleges and universities in locations that range from Maine to Hawaii and Alaska. The San Francisco-based Osher Foundation began its financial support for such programs in 2001.
Committed to lifelong learners
"Osher invited us to submit a proposal after learning about our existing program," says Dr. Dawn M. Gaymer, associate provost for Extended University Programs. "EUP staff and Academy of Lifelong Learning volunteers worked closely to document our rapid growth in memberships and program offerings and to clearly lay out all the ways that our academy was innately aligned with the many wonderful aspects of lifelong learning that the Osher Foundation espouses. We're very proud of the unique working relationship forged between dedicated OLLI volunteers and WMU staff. I think it speaks volumes about WMU's commitment to this growing segment of lifelong learners."
Gaymer says the opportunity to become an Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is really a validation of the quality of WMU's lifelong learning program. The Osher support, she notes, will provide tangible enhancements to WMU offerings in the coming months and years.
"It's very rewarding to see the success of our hard-working volunteers and employees recognized by the foundation," says Gaymer. "We look forward to growing our relationship with the Osher Foundation and the network of lifelong learning programs it supports. With these additional resources, we will increase our course and trip offerings, maintain the high-quality programming that our constituents have come to expect, and learn additional ways to make our OLLI more robust and self-sustaining for years to come."
About the Osher Foundation
The Osher Foundation was founded in 1977 by Bernard Osher, a respected financial-sector businessman, community leader and philanthropist. The foundation's goal is to improve quality of life through support for higher education and the arts. The lifelong learning programs it supports can be found in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The foundation also supports a National Resource Center for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes, which is located at the University of Southern Maine—the site of the foundation's first OLLI endowment grant.
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Western Michigan University
WMU's existing lifelong learning program was launched in 2011, after two years of planning by emeriti faculty members. The membership-driven program features academically oriented, enriched learning courses and trips designed for people age 50 and above. Courses are taught in one- to eight-week timeframes and all are offered in person rather than online. The program is delivered by an all-volunteer organizational structure working with administrative oversight and support from WMU's Extended University Programs.

The community of Hood River showed how big its collective heart can be last Friday when more than 200 people came together at Hood River Valley High School to support the Noah Smith Rehabilitation Fund.
The name of the game was basketball, but the name on everyone's mind that night was Smith, a 1999 HRVHS graduate who was left paralyzed from the neck down after a freak auto accident on Dec. 1.
Twenty-four teams of three helped raise $4,645 to support their fallen friend, who is currently recovering in the Rehabilitation Institute of Oregon (RIO) — a subsidiary of Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland.
"This kind of support really reflects the kind of person Noah is," said friend Chad Madsen, who helped organize the co-ed, all-ages 3-on-3 tournament along with Jake Williams and Travis Bowe.
"The people in the community know him as family, and a turnout like this just goes to show what a special place this is," he said.
Madsen said that in the past two weeks, the fund has taken in nearly $6,000 in donations from local businesses and community members. Fifty-three businesses donated items for a fund-raising raffle, which was held after the tournament.
"When we heard about what had happened, we knew we had to do something," Madsen said. "But if it hadn't been us, it would have been someone else."
Staging the tournament during the holidays also ensured that many of Smith's friends, past and present, could attend. Three such individuals — Blake Lawrence, Taylor Armerding and Dustin Freeman — went on to win the tournament. But, as most people in attendance agreed, winning took a back seat to goodwill on this night.
"It's been tough," said Lawrence, who roomed with Smith two years ago at the University of Oregon. "We all wish that he could be here, but it's an awesome feeling to see people come together like this. I know Noah appreciates it."
As does his family. Parents John and Marilyn have developed a website — www.noahsmith.org — which details Smith's life before and after his accident. The site also includes news, photos and thoughts from his family and friends.
"The outpouring of love and support from (Noah's) worldwide circle of friends has no doubt been a major factor in his recuperation to date," writes Marilyn Smith. "The folks at Sacred Heart say they have never seen anything like the parade of visitors and room decorations surrounding Noah."
She also talks of the amazing progress her son has made in the one month since the accident. While Smith has been classified as "quadriplegic," he has already made tremendous progress and has regained some dexterity in his right hand.
Doctors stress that it is difficult to predict the extent of Smith's recovery, but his age (22), fitness, mental strength and support system all contribute to a positive outlook for future improvement.
"Good people like Noah can make the best of situations like this," Madsen said. "His spirits are high and he's still the same guy we know and love. I can't say that I would be able to move forward the way he has. It's been very inspiring."

Interestingly, despite many events offering Wi-Fi access, reliability is usually so difficult — or expensive — to guarantee that some conferences (such as Blend ) state up front that Wi-Fi access is not provided, even going so far as to prohibit devices entirely. The rationale is that the presence of devices and the cost of Wi-Fi detracts from the quality and enjoyment of the talks; some hand out pen and notebooks instead. This approach does have some merit because it frees organizers to focus on curating their themes and speaker.
Finally, let's quickly look at some figures that are relevant but difficult to evaluate: conference themes, supporting events, location and gender. These factors are mostly determined according to either convenience or the subjective perspective of the organizers.
Themes are plentiful in this industry, ranging from UX design and development tools to marketing and commerce. This chart shows some of the most common themes, but keep in mind that these fluctuate as our industry rapidly evolves.
These are a staple. For more than 50% of conferences, this means parties. And this is the one area where organizers can get as crazy and imaginative as their budget allows. You'll find everything from mundane and marginally productive networking parties with drinks to enthusiastically creative affairs (such as
Red Carter Palm Party Sarong Official Cheap Online Many Kinds Of Ebay Cheap Online For Sale Cheap Authentic Cheap Shop M5cxwmC
's). Some employers, the ones footing the bill, might find this to be over the top. A more psychological study might examine the value of associating pleasurable social experiences with work, but that is beyond the scope of this article.
After-parties are where — to paraphrase
Shelby Hipster Mesh Bikini Bottom A Che Best Store To Get Cheap Online Free Shipping 2018 Unisex 100% Authentic Online Free Shipping Comfortable ScaLowZT
— organizers often make mistakes. From experience with organizing them, I know how important it is for the background music not to interfere with the conversations. Organizers should know that venues tend to get this wrong; many venues can't seem to believe that large congregations of people don't automatically want to "get down and boogie." At the first Smashing Conference's after-party, I found myself running to the DJ every half hour to ask him to turn down the volume, which would mysteriously and gradually return to the same deafening level. I insisted repeatedly that just because some of the attendees were swaying to the music while talking did not mean they were eager for a rave, but neither the venue's manager nor the DJ seemed to grasp this.
While a few conferences focus mostly on the basic content, most offer additional experiences, most likely reflecting the idealism of their organizers. For many conference enthusiasts — including organizers — a key function of conferences is to unite the web design and development community. This is often reflected in the wording of promotional materials (" Let's get together in the company of a few friends ").
The Search places bar allows you to search for locations on the map. Type in what you're looking for, and select to be taken to that exact location. This search is powered by the Mapbox Geocoding API .
Although you can search and view places in the style editor, you cannot create new points in the style editor. See the next section on the Mapbox Studio dataset editor to learn how to search for places and create new features to be added to your map.
Set the zoom, bearing (rotation), pitch, and latitude and longitude coordinates for the current map view. You can also toggle Lock default position so that the map returns to the current position whenever the style is opened. The default position that has been specified is shown below the toggle button.Lock default position
Toggle Satellite imagery to compare your style to satellite imagery. This is useful for checking the accuracy of map features.Satellite imagery

Compare your working style with another style from your account. Select the Style to compare, click Compare to open a dialog box and use the swipe arrows to compare maps. Hit Escape or click away from the Compare tool to dismiss the window.
Any sources in your Mapbox Studio style are composited, or combined, by default. When source compositing is enabled, any Mapbox vector tilesets used and any custom vector tilesets added to your style in the future will be bundled into one composite source. Compositing improves label placement calculations across tilesets and makes maps load faster.
Source composting can be turned on or off in the Debug section of the toolbar. When source compositing is turned off, label placement calculations can not be made between layers from different sources.
According to the Mapbox Vector Tile Specification , no two vector layers in a vector tileset may have the same ID. If you try to composite sources with the same ID, a modal will be displayed in the style editor to walk you through resolving the name conflicts.
The contains two sections: a list of all sources used and reference groups.
The shows a list of tilesets that are used in the style and a list of style layers that rely on the tileset. Tilesets are sources . Sources include vector or raster data files uploaded to your account. Your account also includes access to Mapbox tilesets .
There is a limit of 15 unique sources permitted in styles made with the style editor. You can check the number of sources used in the popover.
Source compositing does not reduce the number of sources counted toward this limit. For example, if you are using a template style that references both the Mapbox Streets and Terrain tilesets (in other words, two tileset sources) and you add one custom tileset, even if the tilesets are bundled into one composite source, the total number of tileset sources used would be 3. In this example, you could add an additional 12 sources before hitting the 15 source limit.
For more information on source limits, see our Source limits in Mapbox Studio styles troubleshooting guide.
The underlying GL renderer uses reference groups to render similar layers faster. Layers with matching define properties (type, source, source layers , zoom, and filter) and style layout properties are automatically grouped. Knowing how your layers are grouped helps you optimize your style.
Ensure that all features you are using are supported with specific versions of Mapbox SDKs and view warnings related to compatibility.

Accused burglar thwarted by Nashua resident wielding macheteBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
February 17. 2014 7:12PM
NASHUA — A burglar was met by a machete-wielding resident on Monday, police said.
Steven Twombley, 45, of 47 Temple St., Unit R32, pushed open the door of a third-floor residence at 23 Temple St. around 1:45 a.m. on Monday, police said.
"The victim, fearing for his safety, armed himself with a machete. During the course of the confrontation, Twombley cut his hand on the machete," police said in a release.
Authorities said the resident did not swing the machete in the direction of Twombley but did have it in his possession during the fight. The two men were still engaged in a physical confrontation when police arrived at the scene.
Twombley, who received several stitches to his hand, was arrested and charged with a felony count of burglary. He is being held on $5,000 cash or surety bail and is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday at 9th Circuit Court, Nashua District Division.
If convicted, he could face up to 15 years in prison.

Robots and Lace
Added Jan 28, 2013
by Ezzles
Sydney, Australia
I found this fantastic robot satin on clearance about a year ago, and had to have it for some pyjamas. And what else but bright red lace to go on it?
The pattern is pretty much improvised from a Peter Alexander silk nightie I already owned. The skirt is just a rectangle gathered onto elastic, with another smaller rectangle attached to look like a wrap skirt. The bodice is two overlapping triangles, with elastic down the inner edges as the fit was a bit weird without it, and a narrow rectangle for the bodice back. I just bought a pair of white bra straps and attached those rather than make satin straps, which wouldn't have stayed up on my shoulders anyway.

Dreary early morning skies delayed the crowd at the Laguna Beach Exchange Club's annual pancake breakfast, but folks more than made up for it once when the sun broke through.
"It was the biggest crowd ever," said Sande St. John, who has been organizing the breakfasts for more than 20 years. "We fed over 800 people."
St. John keeps track by counting the plates used. This year, the last folks in line were served sausages and pancakes on paper napkins.
Memorial Day began early for the volunteers who helped make the day memorable. Coastal Taxi's George Kiepper reported in at 3:30 a.m., ready to load supplies into his cab for transport to Heisler Park. Mormon missionaries, Pedro Ortiz, Danny Moy and Nico McManus arrived at 5:30 to help load and unload.
"The park is pristine, thanks to the efforts of John O'Hara and Reggie Christian from the city Parks Department," St. John said.
Grills were fired up and ready to go when some of Laguna's homeless population arrived for breakfast at 7 a.m.
Among the firefighters who flipped flapjacks: Chip Gilmore, Scott Hammond, Kurt Bladergroen, Ian DaCosta, Rob Abijay, Sean Daugherty, Jeff White, Pat Brennan, Tony Carlson, Api Weinert, Zack De John, Tom Padden and John Kuzmic.
Helpers included Weinert's son, Trevor, and Cody LaTendresse, son of Deputy Fire Chief Jeff LaTendresse, who was the chief stirrer of pancake mix donated by the White House, which went along with the sausages donated by Las Brisas.
When Dave Lopez wasn't behind the grill, he was playing a bagpipe to entertain the crowd.
"He made the event, he made my day; in fact, he made my whole month worthwhile," said the always industrious St. John.
Entertainment was also provided by Laguna Tots singer April Walsh, violinist Doug Miller and Magic Matt. Children loved climbing on the 1931 Seagrave pumper engine and getting junior firefighter helmets from retired Fire Capt. Eugene D' Isabella.
The Police Employees Assn. was represented by President Larry Bammer, Nikie Hernandez, Natalie Leal; the Marine Safety Department by Lifeguard Kai Bond.
Mai Huynh donated the water and Ken Kenworthy made gallons of coffee. Other volunteers included Connie Burlin, Marion Rice, Donna and Danielle Gee, the children of Community Outreach Officer Jason Farris, former Mayors Cheryl Kinsman and Steve Dicterow, Kathryn Delp Dew, Anne Wood, Pat Freeman and Jim Rue.
John and Jan Guyette, Dorothy and Hank Benedict and Helen Diamond were among the early arrivals. The youngest at the breakfast: two-week old Caleb Cornell with his "big brother," 21-month-old Jacob and their parents, Michelle and John.
A speech to remember
The Memorial Day Ceremony in Laguna this year was made more memorable by the words of a man whose actions speak louder than his words.
"A hero should be here to speak to you today," said Federal Judge David O. Carter. "I am not a hero."
Could have fooled most folks there. Carter lives in Laguna, belongs to American Legion Post 222. Locals know that he was wounded in Vietnam and was awarded a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart — not given for a quick mind, good looks and eloquent speeches, though all are attributes of the judge.
He continues to fight for his country today on a different battlefield, the courtrooms of countries who have no concept of civil liberty, traveling to global hot spots to teach America's system of jurisprudence.
But he was mum about that on Monday, as well as his heroics in Vietnam, only referring to himself as a former warrior, who — though aging — would enlist again to fight for his country.
Carter fought in the battle of Khe Sanh in 1968, a member of the famed U.S. Marine Corps 1st Battalion, 9th Marines Regiment, nicknamed "The Walking Dead." He came home as a first lieutenant, spent a year in recovery, a topic he didn't speak about. However, he did talk about those who did not return at all, those who were honored Monday by the folks gathered at Monument Point and throughout similar ceremonies around the county.
An empty chair sat next to the monument honoring Laguna's fallen heroes. It represented all the men and women missing in American wars.
"Some people forget what Memorial Day means," said Frank Daniel, commander of Post 222. "You who are here today are not among them."
Memorial Day began Decoration Day, the day that grieving families first decorated with flowers the graves of their loved ones — both union and confederate soldiers — who died in battle.
"It's to remember the people who died in the war," said 5 1/2-year-old Talia Stewart, who made a donation to the poppy program, fostered by Post 222 Auxiliary. Donations help support the military and their families.
Laguna's war dead and all the veterans who have passed to the "Post Everlasting" also were honored May 28 with floral arrangements from 48 local organizations and individuals — a tradition that unites even Village Laguna and the Laguna Beach Taxpayers.
"It's the most ever," said Diane Connell, president of Post 222 Auxiliary, which consists of wives, mothers, daughters, granddaughters, and great granddaughters of veterans.
Legion Post officials Richard Moore, Daniel and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5828 Commander Arnie Silverman welcomed the crowd, which also was greeted by Mayor Jane Egly, Connell and VFW Auxiliary President Jackie Heddleston.
In the audience: Mayor Pro Tem Verna Rollinger, veteran Louise Buckley, Festival of Arts board member Anita Mangels, Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kris Thalman, Legion Auxiliary members Jean Law and Chisa Nguyen, longtime Laguna businessman Art Fong and Mary Ellen Carter, chief executive of Direct Connection to Africa, which she founded in Laguna Beach to help build villages (currently in Malawi).
Big band wraps up events
The Laguna Concert Band performance at Main Beach concluded the official observances of Memorial Day in Laguna Beach.
In less than 15 years, the group has grown from an audacious eight to more than 65 members and dropped Community from its name.
Music ranged from a South American beat to Sousa. Particularly crowd pleasing: the rousing finale, "Stars and Stripes Forever" had the audience on its feet and clapping.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The main owner of an after-hours bar who is a key suspect in the abduction of 12 young people a month ago was detained Friday on drug charges, federal prosecutors said.
The Attorney General's office said in a statement that Ernesto Espinosa Lobo was detained in Mexico City's southern borough of Coyoacan along with seven other people. All were carrying several doses of drugs.
Espinosa Lobo was turned over to city prosecutors for questioning in the case of the 12 missing people, they said.
Authorities have detained another six suspects in the case, including several employees of the bar.
The group was abducted May 26 from an after-hours bar owned by Espinosa Lobo in the Zona Rosa business and entertainment district.
Mexico City Attorney General Rodolfo Rios recently said that Espinosa Lobo was a key suspect in the case.
Surveillance tape shows men herding the young people, a few of them at a time, into compact cars. They haven't been heard from since.
Prosecutors say the abductions are linked to a dispute between two rival drug gangs in the rough Tepito neighborhood. It is one of the city's most dangerous areas and home to most of the abducted.
But the families of the disappeared say they suspect a criminal group from outside their community is behind the kidnappings because they say they have never seen any of the suspects detained in the case.
The families' lawyer, Ricardo Martinez, said Friday he has filed a complaint with federal prosecutors because city officials have done little to advance the investigation.
Relatives of the 12 young people say Mexico City authorities took more than three days to start an investigation into the abductions.

BEIJING (AP) — A Beijing court sentenced 10 people to prison Tuesday for illegally detaining citizens trying to take their local grievances to the central government, state media reported, in a possible sign the government is trying to rein in abuses.
Illegal detention of petitioners is believed to be common, but is, like all legal and public order issues in China, a matter of great sensitivity. Such petitioners are frequently intercepted by local government agents and detained illegally in shabby hostels known as "black jails."
The government has recently begun acknowledging the existence of such places as part of modest attempts to stamp out the most glaring abuses of power.
It has also said it will stop handing down labor camp sentences this year under a system that allows police to lock up petitioners, government critics and others for up to four years without a trial, although details are still unclear.
In the case Tuesday, 11 petitioners from central Henan province had traveled to the capital hoping to air their grievances under a system that harkens back to ancient times when Chinese emperors were obligated to hear complaints brought from commoners in the provinces.
Four of the petitioners came to Beijing on April 28, 2012, were intercepted by the defendants and forcefully driven to a rented house where they spent one night before being sent back to Henan, the official Xinhua News Agency said. They then returned to the capital and reported the incident to the police. When officers arrested the defendants on May 2, they also released the other petitioners who had been holed up in a house for up to six days.
A photo on Xinhua's website showed a single-story brick house with a window covered up from the inside and bikes, a sofa and a clothes line sitting in the yard outside.
Xinhua said the seven adult and three juvenile defendants received sentences ranging from two years to six months. It said the defendants — farmers from Henan — rounded up the petitioners and illegally detained them in violation of citizens' personal rights.
The case is "certainly significant, but it's also probably the tip of the iceberg," said Hong Kong-based human rights researcher Joshua Rosenzweig.
The test will be whether this is just a one-off, or "one of a series of cases that will effectively punish the routine detention of petitioners, particularly in Beijing, but in other parts of China as well, and serve as a deterrent to those who might want to do the same in the future," he said.
The defendants were hired by a person called Fu Zhaoxin who is the subject of a separate case, according to Xinhua, but it was unclear who he was.
Beijing's Chaoyang District Court referred calls to the Beijing High Court's foreign affairs office, where calls rang unanswered. Calls to Wen Yu He court, a sub-branch of Chaoyang court where the verdict was reportedly announced, also were not answered.
Stopping people from traveling to Beijing to complain has become a priority for local officials, who are graded for promotion in part on their ability to keep the peace.
While Beijing is home to some of the most notorious black jails, such illegal holding pens are found throughout China. Petitioners report being held in run-down hotels, disused government offices, schools and, at least in one instance, a Red Cross office.
They are a part of a policing system that goes under the euphemism "stability maintenance" and that has expanded massively over the past decade. Designed to weed out any threats to Communist Party rule, funding for "stability maintenance" has exceeded the national defense budget for the past two years, reaching 702 billion yuan, or $110 billion, last year. Payouts fund not just the regular criminal justice system but also ordinary citizens to watch potential trouble-makers, bounty hunters hired by local governments to catch petitioners heading to Beijing and black jails to hold them.
The three youths sentenced Tuesday were hired to watch the petitioners, according to a posting on the Southern Metropolis Daily's official micro-blog. They were given sentences of six to 10 months in jail, suspended for a year, the posting said.
Petitioners themselves are skeptical that the Chinese leadership wants to stop the abuses, and if it does, whether a law enforcement system grown used to having its way can change.
"What the government says and what the government does are two different things," said Tian Lan, a former police officer turned petitioner. "They say they are concerned about petitioners and want to protect their rights, but they arrest you and put you in black jails."
Tian lost her job 10 years ago in the northern city of Handan after exposing corruption in a county police district. Turned over to that county's police, she was jailed and tortured for a year and ever since she has been petitioning and periodically detained. She was held in an old factory on Beijing's southern edges in November, rounded up in a sweep of petitioners ahead of the Communist Party Congress to install Xi Jinping and other new leaders.
"Xi Jinping may be a good person," said Tian. "But can his commands be heard outside the walls of Zhongnanhai" — the leadership compound in Beijing.

NIJ's tribal portfolio was strengthened with the launch of the Comprehensive Indian Country Law Enforcement Initiative in 1997. The initiative was an $89 million plan to improve criminal justice services and reduce the rate of crime among American Indians living on or near Indian lands.
The Department of Justice's (DOJ's) efforts have increased substantially since that time.
Tribal Crime Data Project. Since 2010, DOJ has had a number of projects under way to close the gaps in tribal crime data and research. DOJ's Tribal Crime Data Project seeks to ensure timely and accurate crime data reporting in Indian Country through funding, training and technical assistance. The Tribal Crime Data Project helps tribes meet reporting and eligibility requirements to apply for Justice Assistance Grant funds. This project is administered by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Tribal Justice, the FBI and the Department of Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010. The Tribal Law and Order Act (TLOA) of 2010 requires BJS to establish and implement a tribal data collection system and support tribal participation in national records and information systems. TLOA also requires the FBI to collect data for all 56 field divisions regarding decisions not to refer to an appropriate prosecuting authority refer cases in which investigations were opened into an alleged crime in Indian Country. The data to be reported annually include the types of crimes alleged, the status of the accused and the victim as Indians or non-Indians, and the reasons for deciding against referring the investigation for prosecution.
Similarly, the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys (EOUSA) is now required to compile annually, and by federal judicial district, information regarding all declinations of alleged violations of federal criminal law that occur in Indian Country that are referred for prosecution by law enforcement agencies. Required data elements include the types of crimes alleged, the status of the accused and the victim as Indians or non-Indians, and the reasons for deciding to decline or terminate the prosecutions. BJS[1], the FBI and EOUSA[2] are all required to report annually to Congress on the status of any tribal data collection activities as required by TLOA.
DOJ has a legal and trust responsibility to support tribal justice systems and expects to be better able to carry out this critical function through improved data collection, research, analyses, and reporting on crime and justice administration in Indian Country and Alaska Native villages. NIJ's research and evaluation efforts in tribal communities are particularly crucial in the wake of the signing of TLOA, which changes how federal government agencies are expected to deliver law enforcement, prosecution and correctional services in Indian Country.
TLOA also aims to increase American Indian and Alaska Native victims' access to justice system resources in Indian Country and imposes higher standards on tribal nations for reporting crimes to federal law enforcement and prosecution, including crimes of violence against women.

Watch Postcards from Buster on PBS Kids GO!
NICOLA: Come on. This is the fornace. This is where they make the glass. It's called the furnace. It's really hot in here.
BUSTER: Yeah, it's like an oven. Cool! So when glass is hot,
you can cut it with scissors?
(Nicola's dad speaking Italian)
Okay, my dad said that this is silica sand that you can form glass out of. You can make all types of colors you want.
BUSTER: What are they making now?
NICOLA: Right now they're making this glass right here. Want to see it, Buster?
BUSTER: Wow!
NICOLA: Now they have to put the heads on it now. See? Look, look-- they're putting the balls. Because he formed, like, a circle type of one and it's really hard to do. This is a sculpture.
BO: What amazing skill!

Last month's confrontation between Israel and Hamas, and its resolution through an agreement, has reinforced the fiction, long perpetuated by left-liberal policy analysts and journalists, that Hamas can be viewed as relatively moderate. The notion is that, with its governing responsibilities in Gaza, Hamas has become more "responsible." Behind this fiction lies the view that Hamas should be considered Israel's emerging "peace partner." I call this fantasy the "mainstreaming" of Hamas.
But Max Boot points us to the remarks of Hamas political leader Khaled Meshaal's on his triumphal homecoming to the Gaza Strip — a territory he had never previously visited in his life but where he exercises a large degree of influence. Here, via the New York Times, is a report on what Meshaal told a cheering crowd of "tens of thousands":
Mr. Meshal said the Jewish state would be wiped away through "resistance," or military action. "The state will come from resistance, not negotiation," he said. "Liberation first, then statehood."
His voice rising to a shout, Mr. Meshal said: "Palestine is ours from the river to the sea and from the south to the north. There will be no concession on any inch of the land." He vowed that all Palestinian refugees and their descendants would one day return to their original homes in what is now Israel.
"We will never recognize the legitimacy of the Israeli occupation, and therefore there is no legitimacy for Israel. . . .We will free Jerusalem inch by inch, stone by stone. Israel has no right to be in Jerusalem."
The Times notes that these statements reflect the "longstanding" (and I would add, foundational) views of Hamas — nothing new, in other words — "but will only reinforce Israel's belief that Hamas is its enemy and intends to continue to use military force to reach its goals." Actually, it's because his remarks are consistent with Hamas' longstanding position that Israel is absolutely correct in believing that Hamas is its mortal enemy. And it for this reason that the foreign policy establishment is blowing smoke when it suggests otherwise.
As Boot concludes, "Hamas is quite capable of reaching temporary cease-fires or prisoner releases with Israel in its own tactical interest, but it shows no sign of giving up its goal of annihilating the Israeli state." And "that is not an acceptable basis for peace talks."
I would go a step further and say that it was not an acceptable basis for entering into a cease-fire with Hamas.

CARSON, Calif. – Mike Magee and Tommy Meyer were both absent from LA Galaxy practice on Monday, but the club is optimistic that at least one of them will be ready for the regular season opener against the Chicago Fire on March 3.
Magee started LA's preseason finale against the Colorado Rapids and went 75 minutes before exiting the match with an apparent knock on his left knee. Following the match, head coach Bruce Arena told reporters that Magee was simply "kicked" and on Monday, he reiterated his diagnosis after stating Magee received a day off from training.
"He's fine," Arena said. "He just got kicked the other day."
Robbie Keane, Magee's partner up top was just as optimistic about his status for Sunday.
"I think that he'll be okay. He just got a knock in the game the other day," Keane told reporters. "He'll be okay."
LA may be optimistic about Magee, but Meyer's case is a little different. The second-year defender has been nursing hamstring strain for two weeks and missed LA's last three preseason matches.
Hamstring injuries are particularly temperamental and change from day to day, but Arena attests that his condition is improving.
"Tommy is doing fine. He's moving along. It's a week to week type of thing so we'll see how he's moving along during the week," said Arena. "If he isn't [available], life is going to go on and we're going to have to try to survive. We'll know a little bit more during the week."
