WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a longtime Republican, is sticking with President Barack Obama in this year's election.
He told CBS' "This Morning" he respects fellow Republican Mitt Romney but thinks he's been vague on many issues.
Powell said the president got the United States out of Iraq, has laid out a plan for leaving Afghanistan "and didn't get us into any new wars."
He praised Obama's economic performance, saying, while difficult choices are ahead on taxes, spending and budgetary policies, "steadily, I think we've begun to come out of the dive and we're gaining altitude."
Obama later called Powell to thank him.
Powell, a retired general, was also a White House national security adviser and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Powell says he's still a Republican.

The Walrus Says
Today is the Summer Solstice! Enjoy! ***
Garda, the Irish State Trooper band, will provide the entertainment for a special "A Taste of Jamestown," fund-raiser for longtime Narragansett Cafe doorman Phil Hunt at the cafe Sunday, June 24, from 3 to 7 p.m.
Phil has been diagnosed with cancer and is in need of financial support.
Pam Baserman, chairwoman of the event, said there has been an overwhelming response from local restaurants donating their specialties. As of last weekend, volunteering to take part are Trattoria Simpatico, Trisha's, the PACC, Chopmist Charlie's, Peking Garden, House of Pizza, Losteria, and, of course, the cafe itself.
"Local businesses have been more than generous with raffle prizes, gift certificates, and cash donations," Pam said. Items to date include fishing rods, jewelry, artwork, ferry tickets, pizza, lawn care products, a putter, kayak rental, golf for four, gift baskets and an air conditioner.
Pam is urging islanders to be "fun" raisers, buy tickets and attend. Tickets are $30 and are available at the cafe or by calling Pam at 741-0626.
Additional raffle prizes and donations can be dropped off at the cafe or call for a pick up.
Coming into the home stretch with only two weeks left before we blow up everyone's money, donations have come in from: Win Reed; Jan Allen; the Weltys of Longfellow Road, who wrote, "Thanks for all the great fireworks everyone has looked forward to July 4th has been special because of you," Winston and Judy Knight, Conanicus Avenue; Charles and Alexis Pyle, Emerson Road, who commented, "It has been a blast! Thanks for the years of great fireworks," Richard and Christa Casey of Southwest Avenue, who said, "Thank you for all the oohs and aahs - for all the bangs and blasts."
Also, from Marie Pecchia of Yawl Avenue who asked that her donation be in Ralph's memory - "loved your displays. Thanks for the great work," Ann Dodge, Longfellow Road, who commented, "Thanks for many years past of great fireworks. May this year be the best, most memorable year ever," BankNewport; John and Madonna Shannon, Columbia Lane; Noel and Bruce Brakenhoff, East Shore Road; Dot Norton and Joe Tiexiera who wrote, "You have given us years of joy on the 4th of July - we will miss you - a big THANKS. Hopefully the town will pick up the ball and continue the tradition," Dee and Art Christman of Windsor Street who asked us to "Dedicate this year to all the ones in Iraq and all military; anonymous; East Ferry Deli with a loud "K-boom," Richard and Elizabeth Edie of Ledge Road, who also offered a big "Thank you," Bill and Virginia Burgin, Maple Avenue, who wrote, "Please deposit these donated dollars and detonate!" Gayen Thompson, Grinnell Street, who said, "Thanks for your explosions over the years!" Ann and Bruce McIntyre of Clarke Street; and special kudos to the employees at McQuade's who each week urge their customers to fill up the Rocket Dawgz donation cans.
Don't be left on the beach with your money in your pockets. Send it aloft and enjoy the excitement of the anniversary of our nation's birth. Mail your check to the Fireworks Fund, Box 1776, Jamestown, 02835 or drop it off at the Press office.
A celebration of Jim Filkins' life will be held this Sunday, June 24, at the Lt. Col. John C. Rembijas Memorial Pavilion at Fort Getty from 2 to 6 p.m.
The memorial portion of the afternoon will begin at 2 p.m. Jim's friends are asked to bring picnics to enjoy while listening to live Irish music in a seisin led by Tom Perotti.
Jamestown school students and their parents, siblings and grandparents are invited to a special viewing of the Bayside Garden Railroad at 98 East Shore Rd. this Saturday, June 23, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The railroad is the creation of school bus monitors (buses 2 and 10) Veronika and Monty Neronha. It has over 500 feet of track with five running trains, miniature bridges and 22 buildings. The plantings are all dwarf, Bonsai or miniature shrubs, plus ground cover to match the scale of the buildings and bridges. It has been recognized as one of the outstanding Garden Railroads in New England.
The rain date is the next day, June 24, at the same times.

Bob Healy, our neighbor and an ardent fisherman, will have a few stories to tell at the next meeting of the Striper Club. He caught two of them, 42 and 35 pounds, on Saturday southeast of Block Island.
Some 75 friends and relatives gathered at the home of Doug and Tracey Ouellette on Pemberton Avenue on Saturday to celebrate the graduation of their daughter Megan from LaSalle Academy.
She is going on to Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania.
Among the guests was Megan's brother, Shawn, who is entering his senior year at Texas A&M University. Shawn leaves here to go back to Texas then flies to Honolulu with his class to board the California Maritime Academy's training ship the USTS Golden Bear.
The ship will cruise to Subic Bay in the Philippines, Hong Kong, Japan, Seattle and back to California.
Big kudos to Megan and Shawn.
Patty Vandal and Barbara-Ann MacIntosh responded to our poser last week. It was indeed "Till We Meet Again" and was sung by a soldier going off to war.
It begins with "Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu....when the clouds roll by I'll come to you." It ends with, "So wait and pray each night for me, till we meet again."
Has anyone heard of the song, "I Must See Annie Tonight?"
An old expression describing an individual as thickheaded meant that he was slow, dull, a blockhead, even stupid.
Have you noticed there is a whole block of thickheads in our state. It's called the General Assembly.
You can lead a dog to water, but he may not like it nor know how to swim, says Dr. Joshua Hatch in his Pet Tip of the Week. "Surprisingly not all dogs can swim or even like the water, but it is possible to teach your dog to swim. Start by going into a pool or lake where you can enter the water with your dog. Bring a favorite toy with you and encourage him out into shallow water at first by tossing the toy short distances and swimming over to it. If you know another dog that can swim then bring him along to help encourage your pet too. "Safety is important and some dogs can be helped by wearing a doggie life vest to keep them afloat. Keep your dog on a leash until you know they can and will swim back to you. After swimming always make sure you rinse your dog with fresh water to get out any bacteria, salt, chemicals or sand that may irritate his skin or hair coat."
Sunday is St. Jean Baptiste Day.
*** Be true!!

Notes from the Angels' system Thursday…
Orem: Ryan Crowley is a 6′ 3″ left-handed pitcher, so he's already got that going for him. The Angels drafted him in the 19th round this year, and entering Thursday's game he had gone 31 innings, struck out 24, walked three and had a 3.19 ERA. That's a great line, 19th round pick or not. It got worse Thursday, though, as he had his first bad outing. He went 3 1/3 and gave up six runs, five of them earned, while striking out three and walking one and allowing a homer. Taylor Lindsey went 1 for 5. Kaleb Cowart (.285/.347/.419) went 0 for 4 and committed his 15th error in 60 games at third base.
Cedar Rapids: Ricky Alvarez hit three doubles. Manny Correa struck out one of the two batters he faced (and retired) for his second save in a week.
Inland Empire: Jean Segura went 0 for 5 in his third game back, Kole Calhoun hit two singles, Carlos Ramirez had three hits and Randal Grichuk tripled. Unhittable Hellweg was the story, though. He went 5 1/3 innings, struck out nine, walked three, didn't allow a run and, of the seven non-K strikeouts, five were grounders and two were infield pop-ups. There's still some wildness — his second inning might be the most Hellweg inning of all time:
but he's been dominant for two months as a starter in an age-appropriate league, he's got a high-90s fastball and he's thirty feet tall. To pick a convenient endpoint: In his last seven starts, he has gone 35 innings, struck out 52, walked 15 and has a 1.29 ERA. John Hellweg is officially a prospect.
Arkansas: Nobody did anything. Also: Chris Pettit went 0 for 4 and he's hitting .196 in Double A as a 27-year-old. I bring this up only because he's on the 40-man roster, and it's hard to imagine why. Not that Matt Palmer is any great shakes or anything, but it seems a lot more likely that the Angels would need Palmer in a pinch than Pettit in an anything. Sort of surprised that they kicked Palmer off the 40-man, not Pettit, yesterday.
Incidentally, want:
Salt Lake: Alexi Amarista doubled in five at bats, and is now nearly certain to finish the year below .300 in the minors for the first time. Trevor Bell gave up seven runs in 5 1/3 innings in a game that ended up turning into a rout.

Shiny Object Syndrome
I was supposed to talk more about lwos last time, but I got distracted talking about the Arudino and how I both like and dislike it at the same time. I was going to talk more about lwos this time, but a shiny object appeared and so I want to say just one more thing regarding the Arduino build process.
I know it isn't for everyone, but I still am just as satisfied with my favorite editor (emacs, and yes, I do know vi, I just prefer emacs) and a command line. Not to knock Eclipse, but it is sort of like a Swiss army knife with 125 blades. It does everything, weights 10kg, and there are always a few blades in it that you are totally sure what they do. Powerful, but not always convenient.
On the other hand, if Eclipse could manage the build process then why couldn't I with a makefile? I have learned when I have an idea like that not to rush into developing it right away. A quick search on Google often finds someone has beat me to the punch, and this was no exception. Even if you don't care about using the command line, most tools will manage an external Makefile for you and, besides, reading it can explain a lot about the Arduinio build process.
Here is the page I found and it apparently is a modified version of another Makefile. I picked up the modified version since it handles libraries. However, that file is at version 0.3 and the original file is at 0.4 (a quick diff looks like some autodetection for Leonardo-style boards and a few extra compiler options).
The file needs a few variables you can set up in your .profile, .bashrc, or just in a script you source to your shell. Here's my source script:
#remember to . source this file export ARDUINODIR=~/Embedded/Arduino/arduino-1.0.2 export BOARD=atmega328 export SERIALDEV=/dev/ttyUSB0
Of course, you need to adjust this as you see fit. The first variable is the path to your Arduino install. The second is the board type (you can do a
make boards command to find the right entry or dump the boards.txt file in your Arduino installation if you don't want to fire up the IDE. The makefile will guess your serial port, but I set the final variable to tell it where to look anyway.
The build worked perfectly (of course, I already had the prerequisite avr-gcc and avrdude installed). The default
make command builds your program and the upload target sends it to the actual hardware.
Since many programs use the serial port for debugging, the makefile has a target for "monitor" that starts the GNU Screen utility on your selected serial port.
Screen actually lets you set the baud rate as an argument, but the makefile doesn't do that and I frequently run at different baud rates for one reason or another. I was tempted to replace
screen with
byobu (if you use
screen, look up
byobu and try it). However, I really wanted to just launch a normal terminal so I decided to change the monitor section to use
picocom and allow a selection of a baud rate. You can either specify the
ARDUINO_MONITOR_SPEED variable in your environment or the makefile will prompt you for the speed from a short list of common baud rates. I cleaned up a few items related to guessing the baud rate as well.
You can download the entire file online but here's the main part I changed:
# screen $(SERIALDEV) # Assume the environment set a baud rate # if not, do a select. Either way # wind up with the baudrate in BAUDTEMP and # kick off picocom with no hardware handshaking @BAUDTEMP=$$ARDUINO_MONITOR_SPEED ; \ test ! -z "$(ARDUINO_MONITOR_SPEED)" || { \ echo Select baudrate: ; \ select BAUD in 300 1200 9600 19200 57600 115200 ; \ do ARDUINO_MONITOR_SPEED=$$BAUD ; \ BAUDTEMP=$$BAUD ; \ break ; \ done; } ; \ picocom -b $$BAUDTEMP -fn $(SERIALDEV)
The only tricky part is using
$$ in the makefile to ensure the script sees a variable reference and not the expansion of that variable by
make (which happens before you select the baud rate). If you aren't familiar with
picocom (you have to install it, of course) use Control+A Control+Q to exit. If you are used to the Arduino monitor resetting your board when it connects (which is true with some hardware variants), be aware that
picocom probably won't do that. I prefer to control the reset myself, anyway.
In addition to a makefile, I found a few other interesting links. First, there is a large list of alternatives to the Arduino IDE. The list includes information on using Atmel Studio, the command line, Visual Studio, and KDevelop. In addition, there are articles about using Minbloq (think Android App Inventor or >>>) or AVR-Ada. So there are options.
If Eclipse is too heavy for you, you don't like the command line, but the stock IDE is too simplistic, you might consider MariaMole (which is, apparently, a Brazilian dessert). Oh yeah, be sure you are running Windows for this one, although other versions are in the works.
In the cross-platform camp, I'm not sure how practical it is, but there is a totally online IDE for Arduino. You do have to install a plugin, but the website can compile and upload your sketches. It wasn't clear to me how to use libraries, but I didn't spend much time on it either.
Another interesting but only mildly-related link I found was something I've often thought would be fun to write: an Arduino simulator. Sadly, also a Windows program but it does seem to run under Wine.
Ok I'm done with my Arduino rants for awhile. More on lwos next time. I promise. Assuming I don't see another shiny object.

Serving the Grim Fandango community since 1998
OK, nobody said that getting through Grim Fandango would be easy. That'd be like getting the most delicious steak in the world and expecting it to be straightforward to chew. What, you don't like well-done steak? Well, we can't all be perfect.
Check out our walkthrough below if you're a bit stuck and need a helping hand, kindly contributed by . If you're just looking for hints, you might also wish to consider the Universal Hint System .
You begin this epic adventure in Manny's office. Walk over to the message tube and pick up the message there. Pick up the deck of cards from the table,and leave the room.
Walk to the end of the corridor to encounter Eva, the secretary. Speak to her if you like, then use the deck of cards with the hole-punch. Walk towards thelifts, and use the one on the left-hand side of the screen.
Walk to the back of the garage and knock on the door of the metal hut to encounter Glottis. Talk to him until you get onto the subject of a driver – tell him you need one, and he should be your driver. He's not too big – the cars are too small. You will receive a work order.
Go back to the upper lobby, and go down the other lift. Walk out of the large double doors. Walk towards the festival to encounter to sarcastic clown. Speak to him, and ask for two dead worms and a cat. Get some bread from the stall next to him.
Walk down the alley to the left until you come to the rope of ties. Climb up, and open the window of your boss. Change the auto-response on his computer to "Ah, cripes, Eva! Just sign it yourself, will you?". Go back to Eva and try to get the work order signed.
Walk into the garage to be taken to the Land of the Living. Use your scythe with the parcel to find a grumpy little man inside. After he has been sent "packing" (sorry), go back down to the lobby. Find the room with the two chemicals, and put one of the chemicals inside each deflated balloon. Go up to Manny's office and use these balloons on his message tube to mess up the server.
Go to the room containing the server, and pick up the fire extinguisher from the wall. Set the bolt on the door, and leave. When the maintenance guy has left, go back in and open the door. Use your punched card with the red message tube to get your first good client.
After being slightly confused, leave your office and walk towards Eva. You find yourself locked in the hut in the garage. Knock on the door, and tell the bloke that you want to get out and expose the DoD.
Once Salvador has introduced you to the LSA, talk to him until you get onto the subject of the eggs. Leave the building via the lift.
Climb the rope of ties, but this time walk around the corner, and enter the office of Domino Hurley through the window. Open his desk drawers to find a lump of coral, and hit his punch-bag until a gum-shield falls down. Pick up both of these objects.

With the hearing to allow Village Car Service to operate in the Village of Rockville Centre set for May 13, taxis are a hot issue locally.
The Rockville Centre Village Code sets strict stipulations for how taxi services are to be run: including lights on the roof of cars, how taxis can pick up passengers, how long people can wait for a cab and how much fares are.
In the village, taxi companies need to be licensed in order to operate within the village boarders. This means that only licensed companies are allowed to pick up and drop off a fare within the village. Other companies may pick up or drop off without a village license, but not both. As of now, the only company licensed by the village is All Island Transportation, which has been the taxi company of the village for more than three decades.
There are many stipulations to running a taxi company in the village. For example, village code says that "no passenger in a taxicab shall be kept waiting longer than five minutes before proceeding to his announced destination." There are also laws regarding how accidents should be reported, where taxis can park and more.
All Island has a taxi stand at the train station, as well as parking spots nearby, for which it pays the village $100 a month in rent. It also pays $1,046 annually for its fleet of 21 taxis.
"We do get business from the train station and we have people that call on the phones," said Lawrence Blessinger, Jr., the vice president of All Island. "It's a combination of everything."
Village law also lays out how much companies are allowed to charge for fares. Taxi companies are allowed to charge less than the fares stated in village code, but not more.
For adults (over the age of 18), the standard fare is $4. For children 12 to 18, the fare is $2.50 on weekdays between 7 and 9 a.m. and 5 and 7 p.m. At all other times, it's $1.50. For children 4 to 12, the fair is 50 cents. Children younger than four are free when accompanied by an adult. The fare for senior citizens and the disabled is $2.50.

Historical Film on Google Street View
I think there is something kind of magical about viewing old film clips on top of the modern Street View image of where the movies were shot. I've updated my There and Then historical videos application to try and improve the user interface.
I've also added a few more historical videos. Some highlights of the more recently added videos to the app include a 1960's film of the Vatican and a 1950's film of the Colosseum in Rome.
I'd love to hear what you think about the app, particularly whether you think the user interface is intuitive or a little difficult to understand. So feel free to tell me what you think in the comments.

Parton vowed to take the dog herself if no one claimed her, but the owners have since been found. "We got a call that the true owners did come forward," Parton tells Rolling Stone.
"They had reported the dog missing but there was a language barrier. I think they were from another country. They got the dog back, everybody feels good about it. The Happy Landings shelter has a happy ending now." Parton was even making plans just in case she had to adopt a new furry friend, and her first order of business was changing the dog's name (we can imagine having two Dollys in one house could get confusing). "I was gonna rename her 'Glassie' because of Glastonbury… I was gonna say, 'Glassie come home,'" the singer explains, referencing 'Lassie Come Home.'
"I would've called her 'Glassie Doggie Parton.'" Parton is keeping herself busy, even without Glassie Doggie Parton. She's wrapping up the Blue Smoke Tour, taking a little break and then jumping right into work. She may even get back on the big screen. "I may possibly do some television and some producing," she says. "I do hope to do more movies. I'm not opposed to it. But only if I get good scripts."

I said it before and I'll say it again: Brandon is just a poor confused boy trying to be a man, who has no business being on Survivor. However, I will still respect him more than his uncle. Or his father.
Having said this, he does owe Makayla an apology and I do not know where all of that was coming from. Unless he was attracted to her and he could not handle that fact.
I wonder if Russell wasn't playing the villain role at the finale. He did nothing but glower whenever the camera was on him.
most definitely he was attracted to her

It seems like Dina Merrill — the actress and arts benefactor who has lived on West Dune Lane for over 50 years — will still be able to see the sea she loves. Her husband, Ted Hartley, chairman of R.K.O. Pictures, sat in the second row at the East Hampton Village Zoning Board of Appeals meeting on Friday while his attorney, Rick Whalen, laid out plans to rework an existing walkway and platform in the dunes outside the couple's house to accommodate Ms. Merrill's wheelchair.
The existing "corduroy" boardwalk has been in there since 1970. Ms. Merrill and Mr. Hartley's attorney submitted additional photos of it, and the platform, to the board. Also, they brought Bruce Horwith, formerly of the Nature Conservancy, to provide an independent assessment of the dune, as requested by the board.
The preservation of the dune and its vegetation were the foremost concern of the board, and Dr. Horwith explained that to tear up what was already there would be more detrimental than the minor readjustments that were necessary to make the existing walkway and platform accessible.
In mitigation, Mr. Whalen said, the Hartleys were willing to only keep the expanded platform up as long as it was needed, and also to share access to the beach with the property next door, at 3 West Dune Lane, which currently does not have beach access, thereby eliminating the possibility of another walkway's being built if that property were sold.
Andrew Goldstein, the chairman of the board, said a determination would be made at the next meeting on Aug. 12.
Also on Friday, Johanna Caleca represented Mark and Candy Udell, owners of Main Street's London Jewelers, who want to expand their house on Pondview Lane. A two-story addition was proposed to accommodate three generations of Udells, including the couple's parents, children and their spouses, and a nephew, who also participate in "keeping a close watch on the local business," Mr. Udell said.
Although Ms. Caleca submitted plans and said the addition was "minimally visible" because of the landscaping and "not in contravention to the area," Mr. Goldstein was unconvinced.
"This house is already in excess of requirements," he said of the 5,856-square-foot structure. The proposed addition totals 1,462 square feet.
"I appreciate the exigencies that would help the Udells, but you're asking for this to be 25 percent bigger. The benefit to be achieved, frankly, does not outweigh the inconsistencies."
"This house is huge," said Bruce Siska.
"It's a precedent I don't think we should set," added Frank Newbold, another board member.
When Ms. Caleca asked for the hearing to be held open while her clients came up with an alternate plan, Mr. Goldstein answered with a terse "no," but then relented, and the hearing was adjourned until Aug. 12.

Syria backs chemical weapons plan, bombs DamascusBy JOHN IRISH
and KHALED YACOUB OWEIS
September 10. 2013 8:44AM
The Russian diplomatic initiative, which apparently emerged from off-the-cuff remarks by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, marks a sudden reversal after weeks in which the West appeared finally headed towards intervention in a two-and-a-half-year-old war.
France said it would put forward a U.N. Security Council draft resolution for Syria to give up its stockpiles of chemical arms, threatening "extremely serious" consequences if Syria violates its conditions.
Syria's rebels reacted with deep dismay to the proposal, which would halt Western military action to punish President Bashar al-Assad's forces for a poison gas attack that killed hundreds of people in a Damascus suburb last month.
U.S. President Barack Obama, for whom the proposal provides a way out of ordering unpopular strikes days before contentious Congressional votes, said it could be a "breakthrough."
Russia's Interfax news agency quoted Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem, visiting Moscow, as saying Damascus had agreed to the Russian initiative because it would "remove the grounds for American aggression."
While the diplomatic wrangling was under way in far-flung capitals, Assad's warplanes bombed rebellious districts of Damascus on Tuesday for the first time since the Aug. 21 poison gas attacks. Rebels said the air strikes were a demonstration that the government now believed the West had lost its nerve.
"By sending the planes back, the regime is sending the message that it no longer feels international pressure," activist Wasim al-Ahmad said from Mouadamiya, one of the districts of the capital hit by the chemical attack.
The war has already killed more than 100,000 people and driven millions from their homes, and threatens to spread violence across the Middle East.
The Russian proposal "is a cheap trick to buy time for the regime to kill more and more people," said Sami, a member of the local opposition coordinating committee in the Damascus suburb of Erbin, also hit by last month's chemical attack.
"It was extremely well played by the Russians, but we didn't want someone else to go to the U.N. with a resolution that was weak. This is on our terms and the principles are established. It puts Russia in a situation where they can't take a step back after putting a step forward," said a French diplomatic source.
The Russian proposal makes it easier for members of the U.S. Congress to vote to authorize action as part of a diplomatic initiative, without it leading directly to missile strikes.
Republican Sen. John McCain said lawmakers were working on new wording of a Congressional resolution to ensure "strict timelines and guidelines that would have to be met" for Assad to give up chemical arms

MORAGA — Seeking closure for a scandal that devastated a school community, the Moraga School District has agreed to pay $14 million to two women suing them over a teacher's sex abuse, in what is apparently the nation's largest molestation settlement per student.
The hefty settlement — two other victims received $4.65 million last year — is the price of the district's utter failure to investigate and report allegations of biology teacher Daniel Witters' behavior to authorities in the 1990s. Newly uncovered documents show more officials knew about those allegations than has previously been disclosed, and three were secretly reprimanded while the district assured the community administrators acted appropriately.
Not until this newspaper, with the help of victim Kristen Cunnane, reported on the officials' misdeeds in 2012 did the cover-up start to crumble. The other three victims have not gone public, but they and the district's critics have said Witters' abuse could have been stopped early on had the initial reports been taken seriously.
Current Superintendent Bruce Burns, who has worked to change the abuse reporting culture in the district, apologized for those missteps Tuesday.
"They were innocent victims, abused at a young age by someone in a position of trust," he said. "The betrayal of that trust caused real and lasting suffering. It is our hope that this settlement will allow these women to continue to heal and help them and their families move forward. It also allows our district to continue the work we have begun to improve student safeguards and be worthy of the trust parents place in us."
In a statement, the two victims said they are relieved at the settlement but "we remain appalled at the callous and reprehensible behavior of all the school officials and administrators involved. We will probably never understand how or why they chose to ignore and cover up the repeated warnings they received. It is devastating that all this could and should have been prevented had any one of them chosen to act."
The women's attorney David Ring, who specializes in school abuse cases, said the settlement was the largest ever of its kind, with each of the two victims receiving $7 million.
The payments will not affect the district's general fund as its insurance company from the 1990s will foot the bill, Burns said.
All four victims — including Cunnane, assistant head coach for Cal's women's swim team who received $2.85 million last year — named retired Principal Bill Walters, retired Assistant Principal Paul Simonin and retired Superintendent John Cooley as failing to report student reports of Witters' sexual abuse, thus allowing them to be victimized by the science teacher.
Ultimately, as complaints against Witters mounted, he was placed on leave from Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School in 1996 and drove his car off a cliff days later.
While the criminal case stalled with his suicide, the community was clamoring for answers after hearing rumors of earlier complaints against Witters.
At the time, district officials assuaged angry parents by telling them Witters had no earlier reports of sexual abuse. New information obtained by this newspaper make clear it was a lie.
In 1994, a female student wrote a letter describing in detail sexual abuse at the hands of Witters dating back four years earlier; district internal documents show Walters, Simonin and Cooley all knew about the letter but no one reported it to police. In fact, Ring said, the girl called the school office a week after sending the letter to make sure Walters received it and was told he was "busy."
Further reports of sexual abuse in 1995 were also ignored.
State law requires school employees to immediately report any suspicions of child abuse to authorities.
After Witters' death, the school district stonewalled Moraga police. It reached a point where the then-chief of police personally appeared on campus to force them to comply, Ring said.
In the immediate wake of the scandal, school officials never explained the lapses, instead telling parents in a letter they were making "minor revisions" to policies and procedures on sexual harassment, processing citizens' complaints, district office records and personnel files.
But documents newly obtained by this newspaper show the school board took some action, secretly reprimanding all three administrators about seven months after Witters' suicide.
Walters' letter stressed he failed his "legal duty to report all reasonable suspicion of child abuse to the police."
Walters was the only one to respond to his reprimand, writing a letter that acknowledged even more employees knew of the original sex abuse allegations in 1994.
"Upon receipt of the letter received in June 1994, I made the superintendent aware of the content and followed his directions to follow-up with Mr. Witters," he wrote. "Three of the Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School staff members were aware of my conversations with the superintendent. Thus, I did feel that I had reported the incident to my superior."
Despite the reprimands, all three kept their jobs and Walters was given a two-year contract through which his salary nearly doubled from $36,000 to $63,000 per year.
All three left the district, but Walters returned to serve as principal at an elementary school. He announced his resignation in March 2012, days after this newspaper was told it would receive internal district documents on the case.

I think the always online is and will be the more larger issue, if its announced.
Not that it makes a difference when most games today are online reliant with some already requiring a constant connection.
Some people don't play MMO's because of the always on aspect. I think that "some" people will turn into a lot of people if the next Xbox is always on.
Perhaps one of the most poorly written "articles" I've come across in a while. The grammar and syntax are just atrocious. I almost hope that this was a translation from another language.

The Washington Times reports on the relationship between left-wing Democratic politicians and left-wing blogs. The Times notes that John Kerry, who publicly attacked the Daily Kos in 2004 and removed a link to it from his campaign site after its proprietor expressed disdain for U.S. contractors killed in Iraq, is now a Kos "diarist."
Kerry spokesperson April Boyd had this to say about the Senator's new appreciation of the "screw em" crowd: "Whether you agree with all the voices in the debate or not, blogs are modern-day town hall meetings. Senator Kerry likes the debate and the passionate voices in the blogosphere who are determined to cut through the Washington spin and conventional wisdom."
Translation: I'm damaged goods and can only be nominated as an insurgent. These kids may be an embarrassment but they can lend me credibility as an insurgent. And their ideology isn't much different than mine.

Making the most of good homework
For a country denied international cricket at home for a long time and their cricketers unwelcome in the biggest Twenty20 league, it is fascinating to watch the way Pakistan have dominated in Twenty20 cricket. Sanjjeev K Samyal writes.india Updated: Oct 03, 2012 01:34 IST
For a country denied international cricket at home for a long time and their cricketers unwelcome in the biggest Twenty20 league, it is fascinating to watch the way Pakistan have dominated in Twenty20 cricket.
Despite limited opportunities, the green brigade is the most successful team in the format. At all the World T20 editions, they have been the team to beat. They were runners-up in 2007, lifted the trophy in 2009 and reached the semifinals in the third one. Here too, except for the loss to India in the Super Eights, they have won all their games.
The most impressive has been how they turn up for the pressure games. Against India, they looked tense but when the heat was on in the final league game against Australia, they were a transformed side. The 32-run defeat was Australia's first of the tournament.
So, what is the secret of Pakistan's success despite the odds? Experts attribute it to the popularity of T20 back home.
T20 passion
The lack of international opportunities is made up by the passion for the format which has led to dozens of tournaments being played all over Pakistan.
"Twenty overs cricket is being played in Pakistan for more than 30 years now. I don't think anybody plays as much T20 tournaments as us," says former Pakistan skipper, Moin Khan. "We've 50 to 60 tournaments in Karachi, most of them are played during the month of Ramadan," says Moin, who organises one of the biggest T20 events at his academy in Karachi.
"The main reason for Pakistan's success is that the players are very familiar with the format. The competition is so strong they are under pressure to keep inventing new variations and the batsmen always try to hit big shots."
While there is no international exposure at home for the Pakistan players, few may be aware that twenty overs cricket probably originated in Pakistan.
Local league
The Nazimabad Super Cup was the first T20 competition played at Eidgah Ground in central Karachi. The Super Cup, though played with different rules, was held from mid 1970s and went on till the 1990s. Most of the top Pakistan players of that era played in the tournament. In between, there was ten10 cricket where all players in the eleven barring the 'keeper had to bowl an over each.
The stadiums are packed for the Pakistan Cricket Board's two major regional tournaments. "We start the domestic season with the regional T20 tournament, and then we finish the season with a T20 tournament for the top eight teams," says Nadeem Sarwar, PCB's corporate communications head.
"Massive crowds turn up and for a game at the Gaddafi Stadium (Lahore) a couple of years ago, our PCB chairman was left stranded as the road leading to the stadium was packed. We had to get him to the stadium in an ambulance. And, it was not even the final," says Sarwar.

The former England captain has been out since November when Liverpool striker Luis Suarez fell on his knee during the 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge.
Terry was due to make his comeback against Sunderland on December 8, however a number of setbacks in training stopped him from doing so and continue to prevent him from making his return.
|Chelsea are 8/1 to beat Southampton 2-0 with bet365
"Talking to the doctor, the problem is a build-up of fluid on the bone. So at this stage we have no idea when he will be back."
The Blues skipper is not the only absentee for Benitez, with Chelsea set to lose John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses to the forthcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
Goalkeeper Petr Cech is also sidelined for "two or three weeks" with injury and is expected to miss both legs of Chelsea's Capital One Cup semi-final against Swansea.
However, striker Demba Ba is close to completing his transfer from Newcastle and Benitez is hopeful he could make his debut against Southampton on Saturday: He added: "If we can do the business I hope he can play in the FA Cup."

"We sometimes, for example, hear it said," writes John Stuart Mill in his Principles of Political Economy, "that governments ought to confine themselves to affording protection against force and fraud"; that people should otherwise be "free agents, able to take care of themselves." But why, he asks, considering all the "other evils" of a market society, should people not be more widely protected by government–that is, "by their own collective strength"? Much like Mill, Paul Krugman likes capitalism's innovations but not its crises and thinks that government has a duty to facilitate the former and protect us from the latter. He doubts that citizens will get much protection from moguls–or from most economists, for that matter–unless we trouble to grasp how the whole intricate game works, so that our legislators will form a consensus about how to regulate it. Mill supposed that we needed to see "the Dynamics of political economy," not just "the Statics." Krugman knows we need Liquidity Traps for Dummies.
So for the past twenty years Krugman has dutifully mapped the patterns, worried the numbers and issued his warnings–as in (now we can say it) his seriously underestimated book The Return of Depression Economics (1999), a primer on the financial busts of Japan, the Asian "tigers" and Latin America, transparently meant to caution Americans about their own vulnerabilities. He could not have chosen a worse time for prophesy than the end of the millennium. Technology markets were booming, Google was just a year old and Enron was voted a Fortune "Most Admired Company" (for the fourth consecutive year). Meanwhile, a budget surplus was accruing, and the Clinton White House, the Federal Reserve and Congress were all in agreement that, say, regulating "credit default swaps" would be an insult to the professionalism of investment bankers.
What about the problems that had recently hobbled other economies? Would not Wall Street rehearse Japan's recession? Then again, most thought, what did the Japanese, with their computerless offices and hierarchical keiretsu, have to do with entrepreneurial, Lotus Notes-enveloped us? Mexico's politically inbred financial institutions? What board member of an American insurance company–wired with information, faithful to shareholder value–would allow its executives to underwrite high-risk bets, or indeed any transactions, without appropriate reserves? I was, at the time, director of intellectual capital at KPMG International, designing a worldwide intranet for auditors and consultants; our news filters were programmed to cause any story with the word "Greenspan" in it to leap onto 100,000 desktops. The digerati, successive presidents of the United States–Andrea Mitchell, too!–seemed under the spell of the old Atlas's shrugs. But young Krugman, I was told (and might here and there say), didn't "get it."

Republican NYC mayor hopefuls spar in final debate
NEW YORK (AP) — The top two Republican candidates for New York City mayor debated Sunday for the last time before the party primary on topics including the New York Police Department's policies and the city's handling of the emergency response on 9/11.
In often testy exchanges, former public transit chairman Joe Lhota accused grocery store magnate John Catsimatidis of being a billionaire businessman with no government experience while Catsimatidis countered that Lhota was a bureaucrat out of touch with New Yorkers.
"I've served in government in different ways that I choose not to talk about," said Catsimatidis. "I've also served in the (Greek Orthodox) church, and if you talk about church politics, that's much worse than New York City politics."
Catsimatidis described Lhota as "more of a technical person," contrasting that quality with what he called his own visionary capability.
"I've been a CEO for 44 years, and I am used to hiring people to perform technical tasks. I've hired hundreds of people with the qualifications of Joe," he said. He added, "But you need a visionary, you need somebody that creates."
Lhota said he does have new ideas for the city that will benefit everyone from the homeless needing shelter to children whose schools are failing.
"A school that's failing our children, it is immoral to keep it open," he said, adding that he wants to involve more parents in education.
Lhota has had a consistent lead in polls over Catsimatidis, who blanketed the airwaves with ads in recent weeks. Low Republican turnout is expected in Tuesday's primary in a city where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by 6 to 1.
The two men traded barbs and expressed exasperation during the heated debate, with Lhota often shaking his head as Catsimatidis spoke.
Asked whether they had questions for each other, Lhota stared straight ahead and declined to ask his opponent anything.
However, the candidates agreed on many issues.
Both expressed support for NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly, as well as the department's controversial street stop policy and the NYPD's surveillance of Muslims, as detailed in a series of Associated Press stories. Both called for hiring more police officers.
An uncomfortable moment in the debate came when Catsimatidis explained how he would teach his own son to deal with police, if stopped.
He would ask the youth whether he had "dressed funny" or was "walking funny," or "if he had his pants half down with his underwear showing, if he had his hat turned backwards . walking down the street as if you were drunk."
Days before the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, Catsimatidis criticized Lhota for his role at the time as deputy mayor in Rudy Giuliani's administration.
Catsimatidis questioned the city's handling of flawed communications among first responders on 9/11, saying that after the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993, the city "had the ability to fix those phones."
Lhota acknowledged the phone issue should have been addressed but that he and others succeeded in getting the city back to normal after 9/11, from traffic and parking to garbage and paychecks.
When Catsimatidis suggested Lhota was part of a decision to build the city's emergency management center "on a high floor" in 7 World Trade Center, Lhota pointed out that it was on the third floor, which he didn't consider "high."
"John, get your facts straight," Lhota concluded angrily.
Among Democrats, Bill de Blasio has surged in the polls. The general election is Nov. 5.

Canadian freestyle skier Dara Howell wins gold
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia
When she returns home to the Hidden Valley Highlands ski club in Huntsville, Ont., Dara Howell plans to hit the slopes with her 98-year-old grandfather.
Canada's newest Olympic gold medallist won't have the same luxury when it comes to another of the most important influences in her life, the late Canadian freestyler Sarah Burke.
Emotions were all over the mountain for the 19-year-old, who on Tuesday provided Canada another gold in an Olympic debut competition, the ladies ski slopestyle. Howell was joined on the podium by fellow Canadian Kim Lamarre of Quebec City, who also put in the ride of her young career to take the bronze.
The latest two-pack from the funky and always evolving umbrella of freestyle skiing gave Canada six medals from those events at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park, which evidently is also the engine room of the country's aspirations to lead the overall medal count in Sochi.
Howell became the fourth to take the Maple Leaf flag — this one draped around her shoulders — to the top of the podium these Games. And she can't wait to get back home to ski once again with the grandfather, Ken Raven, who was such an influence in her early sporting life.
"My parents put me on skis at 18 months and I always got to ski with my grandfather," Howell said. "Coming from a skiing family, my parents always wanted me to follow my dreams. He's the reason that my family skis.
"I didn't expect that would mean being an Olympic champion some day. This is the best moment of my entire life."
Which brings us to Burke, who died 25 months ago following complications from a training accident in Utah. Beloved by her fellow freestylers, she was not only accomplished on the slopes but was a trailblazer in her sport.
If it weren't for people like Burke, Howell might not have even had an Olympic podium to climb.
And without all those new podiums available thanks to the freestyle skiing disciplines, where would Canada's impressive medal run to date be?
"With Sarah, I feel as though she's been carrying me all week," Lamarre said. "When I fell on my first run in finals then right before I dropped in (for the second run) I looked up and I'm like 'Sarah, let's do this together.'
"When I landed I said 'Yeah, Sarah.' I'm so stoked to do that."
The Howell-Lamarre double on Tuesday was about more than just being stoked — it marked the third time in these Games that the Extreme Park yielded a double for Canada. The first was gold-silver finish, from the Dufour-Lapointe sisters in women's moguls Saturday, was followed by a repeat in men's moguls Monday by Alexandre Bilodeau and Mikael Kingsbury.
In the broader picture, the freestyle sports have been an incredible boon to Canada's prospects in a Winter Games, including two already from new events the International Olympic Committee added for Sochi.
And in the latest victory, the Canadian team could have swept the podium if four-time Winter X Games champ Kaya Turski had been able to maintain her form. Instead the pre-event favourite, who had been battling illness for the past two weeks, fell on both of her qualifying runs and did not advance to the final.
"Canada all together is on fire, but definitely in freestyle," Howell said. "Moguls has been around long enough and they know what they need to do and clearly they are getting the job done.
"Canada wants to develop a good slopestyle team and a good half-pipe team and they've believed in me all along."
Howell's win gave Canada gold in all three freestyle skiing events contested to that point in these Games and the six in total already sets a record for any country in freestyle skiing at a single Olympics.
Canadians have now captured 15 medals since freestyles became part of the Olympic movement, just one less than the leading Americans. The U.S. maintained that edge Tuesday when Devin Logan took the silver step of the podium alongside Howell and Lamarre.
And even though the event was making its Olympic debut, Howell's winning run left diehard freestyle followers in awe.
"I think at this point in time it's one of the most exceptional runs that's ever been done by a girl," Canadian team leader Peter Judge said. "Not only the execution of each of the tricks, but the overall cleanliness and flow of the tricks and the degree of difficulty. At almost every piece of it she excelled.
"It was pretty spectacular from all accounts. To do it in the Olympics, that's even more special."

But a warrant isn't a bond; instead, it is merely a right granted to its holder to purchase a bond in the future. The county board of commissioners decided against issuing bonds as that would have required a referendum by the taxpayers who, at the time, were already suffering from increased sewage rates — four increases over the past 10 years. The likelihood of approval was between slim and none.
The story of corruption, bad faith, and "paying to play" schemes involving major banks and brokers has been covered in detail here, here, and here, but the sordid story began when the Environmental Protection Agency forced the county to build a new sewage plant in the mid-1990s. It was supposed to cost $300 million, relatively affordable to the residents of Birmingham, with its population of 650,000. But by the time the bankers and the brokers and the country commissioners got through with them, the taxpayers now face a bill approaching $4 billion. The current commissioners, after struggling for years to find a way out, finally threw in the towel last month and declared a Chapter 9 bankruptcy.
Under normal conditions that would mean that the county would continue to service the debt until a bankruptcy judge sorted things out and determined just what the county could afford to pay. In the meantime, however, the county has simply stopped paying anything altogether, putting, for the first time, the true real-world meaning of "full faith and credit" to the test.
Because Jefferson County issued the warrants, they did an end run around the requirement for a referendum. But they were sold as bonds, with investors counting on the "full faith and credit" clause to protect them in the event of bankruptcy. However, in Alabama counties have no authority to raise taxes; only the state can do that. And so, now that the county has stopped paying the $4.5 million monthly interest payments, the bondholders are headed to court.
A Birmingham bankruptcy judge has yet to make a decision on the matter, but community activists are threatening violence. Sheila Tyson, who lives in the low-income West End was blunt: "These people are going to end up rioting about this. If [the commissioners] let this stuff happen they are going to get the biggest riot the South has ever seen ... over this sewer business. I can see it coming." Tony Petelos, the county manager appointed by the new commissioners to help sort things out, agrees: "The public has lost confidence in Jefferson County over the past decade and a half, because of the mismanagement, because of the corruption. We have got to rebuild that confidence."
The best way to rebuild that confidence, according to Shedlock, is to cancel the debt, let the bondholders take the loss, and put some more people in jail:
I have had it with the notion that bondholders can never take a loss. The best court ruling would be [that] those are indeed general obligation bonds, but bankruptcy changes the game. My guess is the courts will duck the issue based on the fact Jefferson County never issued a referendum.
If the court ruling is favorable to the taxpayers, who are the silent invisible parties to the ongoing and unrolling fraud, then investors will be forced to take a "haircut." It will also be a warning to the 40 percent of America's counties which have also issued "full faith and credit" bonds (or warrants) but which also don't have the legal authority to raise taxes to pay them off.

HOPATCONG BOROUGH, NJ – While most Sussex County municipalities receive cable television service through Service Electric, the borough has a contract with Cablevision, a provider primarily in the New York Metropolitan Area.
Borough council renewed the contract on Wednesday, Dec. 5 (click here for the story by The Alternative Press). Mayor Sylvia Petillo said at the time council was somewhat concerned no other service company had expressed interest in coming in, but, if they did, the company would have to build an entirely new infrastructure to serve the borough. Cablevision's lines are already in.
By signing a 10-year contract, the borough receives two percent of the payments from customers, she said. In addition, senior citizens who meet state financial standards receive a 10 percent discount, a $20,000 grant for technology, and free service to municipally and school district owned buildings.
"If we don't give them a franchise, we won't get anything back," Councilman Richard Bunce said.
Only one resident spoke on the cable issue during the public portion of the council meeting. Michelle Guttenberger said she is a contract analyst and believes 10 years is a very long time for a cable contract to run.
In addition, The Alternative Press received a series of emails from Randall Paulenich, a frequent adversary of the current borough council.
Paulenich contended the council could obtain service from Verizon FIOS. He said FIOS is cheaper and has service when the power is out.
"I didn't have power, but my Verizon phone was still working," he said.
He said telecommunications companies are required by the Federal Communications Commission to have battery back up at all central switching stations. He also said the central switching stations where the batteries are located are required to have generators to keep the batteries charges.
Petillo said Cablevision was the only service interested in a contract. While Verizon operates over existing telephone lines, and would not have a huge investment in infrastructure, a representative she spoke to told her Verizon is not expanding at the present time.
Although Paulenich disputes the borough spoke to anyone from Verizon, this parallels a 2010 announcement from Verizon saying it was winding down FIOS expansion, and concentrating on completing networks in areas that already have FIOS franchises. That announcement is still on the Verizon website.
As to Paulenich's contention with a FIOS bundle of services borough residents would have had phone service even during the storm, Petillo said in a telephone interview, "when the poles go down, nobody has service."
She noted the problem during Superstorm Sandy was that the poles and lines actually did come down.
Petillo also noted while neighboring Roxbury Township has both Cablevision and Verizon FIOS service, that township's contract is with Cablevision.
Another issue at the council meeting was questioned by a member of the public.
Mara Modes questioned the cost of copies of video tapes of the council meetings. She and Paulenich, by email, contended the cost was $190.
Borough Clerk Catherine Gleason said the meetings are taped with the security cameras installed for the police department in the meeting room. The room is also the site of both the Hopatcong and Stanhope courts. She said copies of the videos are provided through the security company that installed the equipment. The borough doesn't have the equipment to make copies.
Gleason also said the videos of the council meetings are rotated every two weeks, so any request for a copy must be made promptly after the meeting.
She said she has only received one request since she became clerk in the summer of 2011.

It was this time two weeks ago that the news spread like wildfire of Andre Paskowski's passing. For many it hit with a deep pang to the heart as tears literally fell across the windsurfing world, PWA Tenerife took on a new meaning to the likes of Ricardo Campello, Klaas Voget and many others who knew Andre well. A letter from Andre that had been written in his last days was released and shared by thousands across facebook in a matter of hours and tributes to the young talented windsurfer and film maker were posted from a host of windsurfing super stars. The impact Andre had had became even more apparent in these last two weeks.
The fight for cancer finally caught up with Andre and with it a gaping hole is left in the hearts of those closest to him. Despite the predictions from his doctors he fought his toughest battle and actually defied the odds on several occasions. The time for sadness and condolences to his family and friends will never be up but we now have a chance to reflect on the achievements and accolades of this inspiring human being. What he managed to squeeze into his short 31 years he had on this planet will exceed what many will achieve in a normal life span. Here is to Andre Paskowski, may he rest in peace and may his actions inspire others for eternity.
Whilst on his travels he met many talented windsurfers, visited a lot of incredible freestyle destinations and even landmarked one or two that we are very familiar with to this day. Not many will know that Andre Paskowski was really one of the first to familiarise the world with Jericoacoara in Brazil as it not only became a truly favourite spot of his but soon the best in the world followed to train at this windsurfing paradise. Whenever he returned there he was welcomed and treated like a king, the locals truly loved him and truly appreciated what he had brought them.
It wasn't long into his windsurfing career before his love of film making became publicly apparent as he grasped a camera and began shooting for the film Wet & Salty in 2005. Combining DVD production with European titles, he was a brands dream. From then on his productions continued to grow and and grow in quality, professionalism and budget. Needless to say he was certainly at the forefront of windsurf movie making for almost 10 years, only to be challenged by the likes of Poor Boyz Productions who produced the Windsurfing Movie films. There was no rivalry and no comparison just a mutual respect to produce movies that would promote windsurfing in the best possible light. That was Andre, passionate about his sport and the people within it. Yet when we spoke with him over a year ago, one thing was missing. A really personal, close friend, a girlfriend and then as if someone had been listening on our skype conversation the bubbly and smiley Carolina Butrich Schwartzmann entered the scene. So who best to speak to now then Caro herself to find out more about Andre and what he dreamed of, what he was most proud of and much more.
Boardseeker: Caro tell us about Andre Paskowski? When/how did you first meet him? What was he like 'behind the camera' so to speak?
Caro: I met Andre In Jeri, Brazil last year in October, I knew who he was but I had never met him before. The first impression I thought he was too shy and he thought I was too crazy… but then we start playing games (backgammon, cards) and that gave us the chance to start talking and getting to know each other and we instantly clicked. It felt so natural to talk with him, about anything and everything, just really nice and honest and REAL conversations. From that day until the last, we enjoyed every conversation we had, we just learnt about each other and together we grew as a couple; and I am so happy to have experienced this, I am so happy for every second we spent together.
Boardseeker: For someone so passionate about film making, with so much professionalism do you think he set a new standard in windsurf films?
Caro: André loved windsurfing so much and film making that it was his source of energy during all the difficult times. You could see the happiness in his face when he saw a nice shot, or sometimes he will wake me up in the middle of the night just to tell me an idea of the perfect shot for the project or things like that. I think that it is difficult to compare, because the industry is really hard to work on - not much money and a lot of expectations – but he had just so much passion, and also talent, that of course he set a new standard for windsurf films. Also because he was always pushing his own limits, he always wanted to improve, to reach a next level, to be better not only compared to the rest, but also compared to himself.
He always said that cancer made him realize a lot of things in life, about what was really important; taking care of people you love, not being hard on yourself, enjoying every moment.
Boardseeker: You were close to him in the last months, you worked with him on his projects, do you have any really memorable moments?
Caro: It is funny because before meeting him I had bought his DVDs and one year later I am working on finishing 'Below The Surface'. When I first met him he told me that he wanted to do a new project, but he was not sure if he had the energy and time for it, so he was happy that I was willing to support him and help him in whatever he need. I've learnt so much the last year that it is crazy. We did everything together from the first brainstorming of the project until now, he would put me on copy of every mail and we would do all the decisions together, which made us grow an even deeper connection. And we have of course thousands of memorable moments… For example in Maui, we would both go in the water with the photo camera and the film camera with both water housings and it was just so much fun. Or when we were deciding songs since the beginning we would make a playlist and play cards until something good came out. That we could work on everything together made it so much fun, it didn't seem like work even if we were working 10 hours a day, it was just enjoying the time together.
Boardseeker: We had the chance to chat with him a lot last year, he was quite deep about the topics we discussed and very philosophical, we can only imagine you had similar conversations, was there a lot to learn from him outside of windsurfing/filming?
Caro: As I already said, this was what first brought us together. We could talk about things and in a way that we hadn't been able before. We would talk about everything, and of course I had a lot to learn from him. He always said that cancer made him realize a lot of things in life, about what was really important; taking care of people you love, not being hard on yourself, enjoying every moment. We had really nice conversations and is one of the things I miss the most. Even the last weeks together, in the hospital, we would have such great talks and enjoy the time left together.
Boardseeker: Did he ever talk about his plans beyond 'Below The Surface' with you?
Caro: His health situation didn't allow him to plan too much long term… but we of course held on to hope and he fought like I've never seen before to get better… and we did talk about future. He would have really liked to have kids; and me, that I had never before thought of marrying or having kids, with him I would have love to. Everything seemed to fit together. And when we talked about a possible future together we were just so happy about it.
Boardseeker: He was one of the most inspirational figures in windsurfing, he achieved a huge amount, what do you think were his greatest moments, what was he most proud of?
Caro: He was really proud of making Rewarded because he could show an inspirational story behind Gollito, now 5x world champion. He was also really proud when he thought of Four Dimensions because they managed to do something really big with a small budget, and the outcome exceed all his expectations and own limits. And he was really proud of the process of the Below The Surface, he was really happy with the sections that are already done and with the overall work of all the team. And now we are just working hard to finish it as magic as he wanted it to be.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go to all those affected, in particular Andre Paskowski's family and to Caro. Rest In Peace.

We bid a very fond farewell to The Guestroom, and some of our favourite stories...
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Over the last seven years, The Guestroom has been the place to ask the big questions of national and international identities.
We've entertained Prime Ministers, sporting legends, rock stars, artists, movers and shakers.
But most importantly, we've been moved by stories from the Territory. Tales from people we know, people we've heard of, and people we've never met. Stories of triumph and hardship, courage in adversity, faith tested and the mad things that can only happen in the humidity of the Top End and the dust of Central Australia.
Thank you so much for being part of the ride.
For our last ever show, we've picked out some of our favourite stories. National Geographic explorer Wade Davis who went to Haiti in search of zombie poison. Don Lane, who was in stitches when he found out Darwin had a suburb called Moil. Crime writer Lynda La Plante, who told us about smoking joints, viewing cadavers and posing as a prostitute. Lester Lemke, who broke our hearts with his journey after losing a beloved daughter. Terry Kenwrick, a long time Territorian who described the chaos that greeted him after Cyclone Tracy, and the cop who walked past in his underpants, toting a fire arm.
We've laughed, gasped, smiled and cried.
Farewell Guestroom, you'll be missed.

Latest update : 2011-03-16
Japan's faceless heroes
A group of 50 Japanese workers have decided to stay behind at the Fukushima power plant, in a bid to prevent a massive radiation leak. Workers' names haven't been revealed but they are thought to be volunteers, firefighters and police officers. Prepared to risk their lives and face Japan's worst catastrophe in decades, the workers are seen as heroes.
