ple who can’t remember where they live, what their name is, or what they just saw. And then, they are to calmly provide all that in-formation to the officers, firefighters, or paramedics without error the first time and every time.

Dispatchers are ex-pected to be able to do five things at once - and do them well. While ques-tioning a frantic caller, they must type the infor-mation into a computer, tip off another dispatcher, put another caller on hold, and listen to an officer run a plate for a parking problem. To miss the plate numbers is to raise the officer’s ire; to miss the caller’s information may be to endanger the same of-ficer’s life. But, the officer continues to do his job, not truly understanding what the dispatchers are doing for him.

Dispatchers have two constant companions, oth-er dispatchers and stress. They depend on one, and try to ignore the other.

They are chastened by up-set callers, taken for grant-ed by everyone until they are the ones needing assis-tance. They are criticized by the public, and at times, even by the officers. The re-wards they get are inexpen-sive and infrequent, except for the satisfaction they feel at the end of a shift, having done what they were ex-pected to do.

Dispatchers come in all shapes and sizes, all races, both sexes, and all ages. They are blondes, and bru-nettes, and redheads. They are quiet and outgoing, single, or married, plain, beautiful, or handsome. No two are alike, yet they are all the same.

They are people who were selected in a difficult hiring process to do an impossible job. They are as different as snowflakes, but they have one thing in common. They care about people and they enjoy be-ing the lifeline of society - that steady voice in a storm - the one who knows how to handle every emer-gency and does it with

style and grace; and, un-compromised competence.

Dispatchers play many roles: therapist, doctor, lawyer, teacher, weather-man, guidance counselor, psychologist, priest, sec-retary, supervisor, politi-cian, and reporter. And few people must jump through the emotional hoops on the trip through the joy of one caller’s birthday party, to the fear of another caller’s burglary in progress, to the anger of a neighbor blocked in their drive, and back to the birthday caller all in a two-minute time frame. The emotional rollercoast-er rolls to a stop after an 8 or 10 hour shift, and they are expected to walk down to their car with steady feet and no queasiness in their stomach-because they are dispatchers. If they hold it in, they are too closed. If they talk about it, they are a whiner. If it bothers them, it adds more stress. If it doesn’t, they question themselves, wondering why.

Dispatchers are expect-ed to have the compassion

of Mother Theresa, the wisdom of Solomon, the in-terviewing skills of Oprah Winfrey, the gentleness of Florence Nightingale, the patience of Job, the voice of Barbara Streisand, the knowledge of Einstein, the answers of Ann Landers, the humor of David Let-terman, the investigative skills of Sgt.

Is it any wonder that many drop out during training? It is a unique and talented person who can do this job and do it well. And, it is fitting and proper that we take a few minutes or hours this week to honor you for the job that each of you do. That recognition is overdue and it is insufficient. But, it is sincere. It takes a special person with unique skills.

“There’s no such thing as a hot meal or a finished conversation on this job,” stated Tony Christian. “But

what we do, we do will-ingly. We care about each and every person that calls for help. We will do our very best to get you police, fire department personnel, EMS, whatever you need to take care of your emer-gency in the least amount of time possible.”

“We’re a family here, we care about each other and look out for one an-other,” said Christina En-dicott. “That’s what we’re

supposed to do.”The Daily News ad-

mires all 911 dispatchers throughout the Tug Valley area, and thanks them for the thankless job they per-form. Dispatchers are he-roes, and we are proud to know that should an emer-gency arrive in any of our lives, it will be their voice we hear on the other end of the line, calmly instruct-ing us and getting help to us as quickly as possible.

Bailey said that the highway budget for West Virginia has steadily decreased in the past five or six years, and the $110 million savings that would be seen using the private-public partnership to mine

the land and build the highway makes the project possible.

“Under the budget proposed in Wash-ington, the budget for the entire W.Va. highway department would be $500 mil-lion,” he explained. “In West Virginia, $110 million is a huge financial impact.

The highway will run through McDow-ell, Mercer, Mingo, Wyoming and Wayne Counties along currently existing US

Route 52. The highway will It ultimately will cover approximately 90 miles of southern West Virginia.

The KCH is a major project for MCRA.“This project falls directly in line with

the Mingo County Redevelopment Au-thority’s post mine land use initiatives,” said Leahsa Johnson, Deputy Executive Director of MCRA. We have partnered with Consol Energy, Cotiga Develop-

ment and the regulatory agencies to sup-port this permit application, not only in a mining capacity, but also as it pertains to Mingo County’s Land Use Master Plan, the potential for construction of another section of the newly named Mike Whitt Visionary Leadership Highway in Mingo County, and the proposed creation of ad-ditional flat land which is vital to our fu-ture economic diversification efforts.”

From the frontCoal Association President, Bill Raney, said.

“Our member companies work hard every day to meet the high-est standards of workplace safety

and our goal is simple – zero ac-cidents. We believe this is an at-tainable goal.”

The West Virginia Coal Asso-ciation’s Mountaineer Guardian Awards are presented each year to mining companies that have

demonstrated a commitment to safety standards. Inspectors for the West Virginia Office of Mine Health, Safety and Train-ing nominate companies based on numerous criteria.

Elk Run Coal Company’s

Republic Energy operation in Raleigh County earned the top safety award bestowed upon surface mine operations — the Bart B. Lay Milestones in Safety Award. The McElroy Coal Com-pany’s McElroy Mine in Marshall

County claimed the top honor for underground mining opera-tions in the state — the Eustace E. Frederick Award.

A total of 38 mining opera-tions across the state were recog-nized at the event.

Peace activists, patriots at the Boston Marathon bombing

Monday was Patriots’ Day in Massachusetts, celebrating the day the American Revolution-ary War began in 1775, at the Battles of Lexington and Con-cord. It is also the day of the an-nual Boston Marathon, which will now, sadly, go down in his-tory as yet another episode of senseless mass violence.

Martin Richard’s image has circled the globe since his mur-der that day. In it, the 8-year-old holds a sign he made that reads “No more hurting peo-ple. Peace.”

The Richard family was watching the marathon when the bomb went off. His mother, Denise, and his sister, Jane, were seriously injured. His father, Bill, suffered shrap-nel wounds. Martin’s older brother, Henry, was not harmed — at least, not physically.

Across the street from the blast, Carlos Arredondo and his wife, Melida, were watching from the bleach-ers. They were waiting for a member of the National Guard who was running the race in memory of Carlos’ son, Alex Arredondo, a U.S. Marine who was killed in the battle of Najaf, Iraq, in August 2004. Back then, im-mediately after he learned of his son’s death, Carlos got into his van and set fire to it. He survived, with mas-sive burns, then dedicated himself to peace activism, traveling the U.S. with a flag-draped coffin in memory of his son. Seven years after they lost Alex, in 2011, his younger son, Brian, who became depressed after Alex’s death, committed suicide.

At the marathon, Carlos, who is originally from Costa Rica, was wearing a big cowboy hat, and images of his fearless race to rescue people after the explosions also have gone global.

Within seconds, the lives of these two individuals, Martin Richard and Carlos Arredondo, from neighbor-hoods of Boston not far from each other, were thrust onto the world stage. Martin, a child tragically killed by an IED, and Carlos, a father who lost two sons as a con-sequence of the war in Iraq. I asked Carlos to recount those minutes after the marathon blasts:

“Everybody was on the ground. There was broken limbs, people with no limbs, people totally passed out, so many injuries today. I never see in my life like this. You know, it was a very, very horrible moment in that particular moment there. People was running. And a lot of people was really doing a great job in handling the best we could at the time … it took really few minutes to understand that this was a IED explosion. And my first reaction, being a volunteer for the Red Cross, and my first reaction was to just go, you know, and do my duty. So many people was doing the same thing — po-lice officers, National Guards, people from the stands, veterans. You know, everybody just got together … we didn’t know if it was a third bomb waiting for anybody there, you know, but everybody removed the fence by their hands and pushed everything around.”

Carlos focused on Jeff Bauman Jr., who had severe wounds to both legs: “I ripped up a T-shirt, and another gentleman helped me out, and we put this tourniquet on the legs. And then the first wheelchair that arrived, you know, I picked him up and put him in the wheel-chair, and I dragged him out of there.”

All the vast medical expertise in the many hospitals of Boston could not save Martin Richard. His 7-year-old sister, who loves to dance, lost a leg, and his mother, Denise, suffered severe trauma to the head. Denise is the librarian at the children’s school, the Neighborhood House Charter School, as well as an active member of a community organization. Bill has long been a respected activist in the community, helping to revitalize the area.

Seven years ago, on another Patriots’ Day, after the Boston Marathon, I was in Boston’s historic Faneuil Hall with the late famed historian Howard Zinn. The night was cold and rainy. It was April 16, 2007. News was coming in about a massacre in Blacksburg, Va., on the campus of Virginia Tech. Thirty-two people were killed that day, plus the shooter, who took his own life. This week, as the final mile, mile 26, of the Boston Marathon was dedicated to the 26 people killed in New-town, Conn., even the most basic compromise element of gun-control legislation, a watered-down amendment on background checks, has failed in the Democrat-con-trolled Senate.

The first blast in Boston occurred behind a line of fluttering flags from around the world, reflecting the international stature of the oldest annual marathon in the country — flags that reminded me once again of the words of Howard Zinn: “There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people.”

Because I live■ An Upward Look

“Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: be-cause I live ye shall live also.” (John 14:19)

As Jesus p r e p a r e d His disciples for His com-ing death the apostle John gives a detailed account of a few critical hours. In this clear and vivid recollection of Jesus’ last discourse to his inti-mate disciples, John cap-tures the Lord’s words of comfort and assurance to a group of fearful and con-fused followers.

Jesus knew that in less

than twenty-four hours He will be on the cross. His last words speak of all the resourc-es that will be at the disciples’ disposal after His departure. They will be indwelt and enpowered by God through the Holy Ghost.

Jesus assured the disciples that if they

loved Him, they would obey His commands. He would ask the Father, and He will give them another counselor to be with them forever—the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it nei-ther sees Him nor knows Him. But the disciples

know Him for He dwells in them, and shall be in them. (14:17)

The Lord will not leave them as orphans, and said, He would come to them. Before long, the world will not see Jesus anymore, but because He lives, they will also live. On that day, they will realize that Jesus is in the Father, and they are in Him, and Jesus is in them.

Jesus also shared with them that the comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in Jesus name, will teach them all things and will re-mind the disciples of every-thing Jesus said to them.

Isn’t it wonderful that God sent His Holy Spirit to help the disciples face the days ahead without their Lord and Savior, Je-sus Christ. Their lives were turned upside down, but

filled with the Holy Spirit they went out to be the ded-icated witnesses Christ had called them to do. That is what the Lord also expects us to do, also.

Poem: Jesus told His dis-ciples He was leaving them,

And returning to the heavenly Father above,

But God would send the Holy Spirit ,

As an evidence of His eternal love.

May we lift our arms and voices,

In Love, honor, praise and glory,

As we share with our fel-lowmen,

The wonderful salvation story.

Dear Father, we are eter-nally blessed to have your Holy Spirit leading and guiding us in our world to-day. In Jesus holly name we pray. Amen.

Mae Stallard

Chuck Schumer’s triumphEveryone presumes

that Sen. Chuck Schum-er, the media-hungry Democrat from New York, wants to be the next Senate majority leader. His performance in the negotiations over the Gang of Eight im-migration plan should bolster his case for an eventual promotion.

Schumer has been at the center of crafting a bill for a mass amnesty of undocumented immi-grants that has high-pro-file, bipartisan support and a chance of becoming law. He had the shrewdness to realize what he needed to do to make the bill vi-able.

If you are going to have any hope of passing a sweeping amnesty bill in a divided Congress, you need a conservative Republican with cred-ibility with the party’s base willing to go out and aggressively advocate for it. If he is a potential front-runner for the Republican presidential nomina-tion in 2016, all the better.

You need bells and whistles about triggers and enforcement so the afore-mentioned conservative Republican can portray the bill as a toughening of the nation’s immigration laws.

But, to make it palatable to your own side, you need a near-instanta-neous amnesty before anything else meaningful happens.

Check, check and check. Even the most incorrigible Schumer critic has to concede: Well played,

Senator, well played.Schumer rightly rec-

ognized the importance of keeping on board Florida Sen. Marco Ru-bio, who has been tire-less and fearless in mak-ing the case for the Gang of Eight’s approach. The muted reaction of the right to the bill is a testa-ment to its fondness and respect for Rubio.

Schumer managed to hold Rubio and win his grudging respect, while selling him a lopsided deal. Rubio traded amnes-

ty — although he refuses to call it that — for an enforcement plan on paper and a commission to be named later.

Under the bill, no additional en-forcement has to take place before undocumented immigrants get legal-ized. The secretary of the Depart-ment of Homeland Security merely has to come up with a strategy for en-forcement and notify Congress that it has commenced. It doesn’t matter if it is a good, bad or indifferent plan, so long as it is a plan. Then, an esti-mated 11 million undocumented im-migrants get legal status.

The bill stipulates that we will establish a 90 percent effective-ness rate at catching people trying to cross the border in five years. If that goal isn’t achieved, then a bipar-tisan border commission swoops in to take charge and come up with its own report and recommendations. And if the commission fails to pro-duce these recommendations within

180 days, well then, the bill demands that the Department of Homeland Security come up with yet another border-security plan!

Schumer’s genius is to have placat-ed Rubio not just with promises, but with new versions of old promises. Rubio touts the bill’s mandate for the creation of an exit-entry tracking sys-tem, a key piece of the puzzle of con-trolling who comes here. Congress first mandated the creation of such a system in 1996.

It is one thing for Congress to make earnest assurances about wonderful things that will occur in the future. It is quite another for them to occur. In 2001, Congress congratulated itself for passing the No Child Left Behind Act that quite sincerely said all students — yes, all students — would achieve pro-ficiency in reading and mathematics by the 2013-14 school year.

If the Gang of Eight bill becomes law, a natural political dynamic will take over. Denying any undocument-ed immigrant newly legal status will seem arbitrary and unfair, and so the notionally tough requirements for legal status will be only loosely ap-plied. Pro-amnesty advocacy groups and the business lobby will work to undermine enforcement in the courts and in Congress. And the new argu-ment against Republicans will be-come that they are alienating Latino voters by insisting on an inexcusably drawn-out process for formerly un-documented immigrants to get citi-zenship (and become voters).

No doubt, Chuck Schumer has al-ready thought all this through. That’s why he’s Chuck Schumer.

Ed LockardMinister, Hardy Church of Christ

In the sixth chapter of Ephesians, Paul gives some very good advice for preparation of life against sin.

As a rule of thumb, we all expect to defend ourselves in danger. We would normally use every resource avail-able to assure victory. We protect our homes with security systems, our ve-hicles with theft deterrents, and even ourselves with a weapon of some sort. Why are we so unconcerned with our protection against sin?

I believe that sometimes we don’t consider sin a real enemy. We have become so comfortable in acceptance with sin around us that we don’t ex-pect there is any need to have pro-tection personally. Sin has become so much a part of our lives in media and conversation it seems like were saying it’s OK.

The only way to understand the power of sin is to face it head on. Satan is a powerful nemesis and a very worthy opponent. If we choose

to fight him with our own strength we will certainly lose! The Lord has provided ample defense against him through the scriptures. He supplies the belt of truth against which Satan can do nothing. He fits the breast-plate of righteousness perfectly in place. Our feet are shod with the gos-pel of peace and we take the shield of faith to extinguish the fiery darts of the Devil. We will wear the helmet of salvation.

Above all, we will carry the sword of the Spirit which is God’s word, powerful and effective. We will go into battle with every confidence in our Lord and His armor. We will overcome anything that comes our way with assurance that God will never leave us nor forsake us.

Being able to possess this kind of confidence through God’s promises we are able to withstand. Paul en-courages us in Ephesians 6: 13-14 to do all we can to be ready to stand and then stand firm. I believe that people don’t understand that in our prepara-tion to stand we must be equipped to

do so.God has graciously provided us with every tool to be able to not just fight against Satan but to win against him.

I’ve been giving my grandchildren some sound advice against the word hate. It’s hard to convey to them that a person doesn’t want to hate just anything. So for now 1just tell them don’t even use the word. But at some point they need to know it is alright to hate sin.

We have gone so far out of bounds trying to think outside the box that we have eliminated the box all to-gether. Sometimes it can be alright to think inside the box if the box has been designed by God! I pray you will consider the fact of sin being a big part in the lives of all of us in one way or another. Even though we are not participating directly in it, if we accept it all around us we might as well be!

Please take some time to read and study God’s word so we all can be prepared to wage a Godly war against awful thing called sin!

Put on the whole armor of God!

DAILY NEWSFRIDAY,

APRIL 19, 2013 SportSKyle LovernSports Editor

WILLIAMSON — Reg-istration for the 14th annual Hatfield-McCoy Marathon has increased this year.

Tug Valley Road Run-ners Club (TVRCC) presi-dent David Hatfield says that pre-registration has doubled for the race that is scheduled for Saturday, June 8.

There has already been 519 people that have reg-istered for the race. Last year at this time the num-ber was 237.

The club is seeking vol-unteers to assist with the race this year.

The marathon starts at Food City in South Wil-liamson and ends up in downtown Williamson near the historic Coal

House. The half-marathon ends in histor-ic downtown Matewan.

The Hat-f i e ld -McCoy Marathon is part of the Hat-f i e ld -McCoy Reunion Festival which will be held June 7 and 8, 2013. Proceeds from this

race go to sup-port TVRRC children’s run-ning programs and scholar-ship funds.

The two best ways to get here are U.S. 119 and

U.S. 52. Hotel rooms are available but they fill up fast. There will be a pasta

dinner available on Friday evening, June 7 at Belfry High School on U.S. 119, at 6:00 p.m. Proceeds from the dinner go to the Belfry High Soccer Team. And there will be a post-race Pig Fest with music and pig fixed just about any way you’d want it, accord-ing to Hatfield.

For those who are trying to race a marathon in all 50

states, this race counts as either Kentucky or West Virginia, not both, says Hatfield. However, if this is your second time running the race, you can count the other state that you didn’t count in the last one.

For more information or to register check out the website at hatfieldmccoy-marathon.com or visit the club’s Facebook page.

Mingo Central track team wins at Pikeville meetKyle LovernSports Editor

PIKEVILLE, Ky. — The Mingo Central track team performed very well again at a meet held in Pikeville on Tuesday.

“We came in first in the 4 x 200 relay and we came in first in the 4 x 100 re-lay, but got disqualified because we stepped out of our lane,” Miner’s track coach Brad Webb said.

Alex Lee came in first in the 100 meter individual race, while Joe May came in third and Austin Banks came in fifth.

“Also, Dakweon Willis

came in sixth in the long jump, with Austin Banks coming in seventh and Deonte Joplin coming in eighth,” Webb added.

“Garrett Moore came in second in the high jump.”

Chrissy Farmer, Tori Varney and Amber Hens-ley all placed in the top 10 in shot put.

“Everyone keeps improv-ing and that is all you can ask for as a coach,” Webb said.

“We finally will get some much needed prac-tice work over the next two weeks. We have had so many meets we haven’t had time to clean up some mistakes and fine tune our team. I am looking forward to pushing the team over the next few weeks before our Regionals.”

Herd signs Edmonds, Sane Sign for Men’s BasketballHUNTINGTON — Justin Ed-

monds and Cheikh (pronounced Shek) Sane signed National Let-ters of Intent on Wednesday to play basketball at Marshall next season.

Edmonds is a 6-foot-4, 205-pound guard from Albion, Mich. who played the last two years at Owens Community Col-lege in Toledo, Ohio.

He averaged 18.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists this past season in 15 games before his season was cut short with a knee injury.

As a freshman, Edmonds scored in double figures in all but three games while averaging a team-leading 18.8 points per game and was named First Team

All-Ohio Community College Athletic Conference and First Team All-Region XII.

“Justin is a great addition to our basketball program, he had a terrific career at Owens for coach (Dave) Clarke, before his knee injury,” said Marshall head coach Tom Herrion.

“He is a big, strong and versa-tile guard who we feel can make an impact for us right away.”

Owens had much success dur-ing Edmond’s two seasons there. The Express went 24-8 during his freshman year, falling in the Region XII/District 10 finals.

Owens finished with a 26-10 record last season and a fourth place finish at the NJCAA D-II National Tournament. Edmonds

graduated from Albion High School in 2010 and played one season at Summit Christian Academy Prep before signing with Owens.

He finished with a decorated high school career and among the many honors, was a McDon-ald’s High School All-American nominee.

Sane is a 6-foot-9, 217-pound power forward originally from Dakar, Senegal who played the past two seasons at Snow Col-lege in Ephraim, Utah.

He averaged 10.4 points and 9.0 rebounds per game while shooting 53.8 percent from the field. He was an All-Region 18 and All-Scenic West Athletic Conference first team selection.

“We are thrilled to bring Cheikh into our basketball fam-ily, he had an outstanding sopho-more season at Snow for coach (Robert) Nielson,” Herrion said.

“His improvement from his freshman to sophomore years was dramatic and we are excited to add a talented and physical frontcourt player like Cheikh to our program.”

Sane helped Snow College to a 20-11 record this past season and a 23-9 record during his fresh-man season.

Prior to Snow College, Sane furthered his basketball talents and attended grades 9-12 at a college-preparatory boarding school called SEEDS (Sports for Education and Economic

Development in Senegal). Edmonds and Sane join Shawn

Smith, a 6-foot-6, 220-pound forward at City College of San Francisco who signed with the Thundering Herd in November. Smith’s team finished the regular season undefeated at 28-0 and fell in the CCCAA semifinals to finish 31-1. He averaged 10.9 points and 4.7 rebounds while shooting 52.9 percent from the field.

“As you can see, Justin and Cheikh and Shawn all have a similar qualities, they played at highly successful and winning programs and they are terrific people,” Herrion said. “We are excited to welcome them to our Herd basketball family!”

From the frontHaving a production

that is faithful to the his-tory of the Feud is impor-tant, so local historians Betty Howard and Randall Osborne are on the Board of the production, as well as Phelps resident and

Chief Executive Officer of the Hatfield McCoy Arts Council, Chris Coleman.

The play will debut at 7:30 Friday, July 26, and run Friday through Sunday throughout July, August and September. While Fri-day and Saturday produc-tions will begin at 7:30,

Sunday plays will be a mat-inee, beginning at 3 p.m.

Dressing rooms and restroom facilities at the Hatfield McCoy Park are currently under construc-tion, District Five Magis-trate Hilman Dotson said.

Stephanie Richardson said she felt other films

and plays haven’t captured the flavor a local produc-tion could. “When they talk about the Hatfields

and McCoys, people speak with ownership, with pas-sion,” she said. “I don’t think anyone has honed

into that, they haven’t scratched the surface. We can do that, we will have a beautiful production.”

NationHouse passes pro-business cybersecurity billAnne FlahertyThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Pro-business legis-lation aimed at helping companies fend off sophisticated foreign hackers sailed through the House on Thursday despite a White House veto threat and an outcry from privacy advocates and civil liberties groups that say it leaves Americans vul-nerable to spying by the military.

The House vote, 288-127, puts the spot-light on the Senate, which hasn’t taken up the issue and is consumed with other high-profile issues such as gun control and immigration. The lack of enthusiasm in the Senate and objections by the White House mean that the legislation is in

limbo despite an aggressive push by lob-byists representing nearly every corner of industry.

But supporters said they were gaining momentum: Despite the White House veto threat 92 Democrats voted for the measure, compared to only 42 for a simi-lar bill last year.

The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Pro-tection Act, or CISPA, is widely backed by industry groups that say businesses are struggling to defend themselves against aggressive and sophisticated attacks from hackers in China, Russia and Eastern Eu-rope.

Hackers haven’t been able to deliver crippling blows to the U.S. economy or infrastructure, but they have been able to

wreak havoc on some key commercial sys-tems. Most recently several news outlets including the New York Times acknowl-edged that their systems had been pen-etrated, while banks are said to be quietly fighting daily intrusions. North Korea was recently held responsible for a cyberattack that shut down tens of thousands of com-puters and servers at South Korean broad-casters and banks.

The bill, said House Intelligence Com-mittee Chairman Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., strikes “that right balance between our privacy, civil liberties and stopping bad guys in their tracks from ruining what is one-sixth of the U.S. economy.”

Under the legislation, businesses and

the federal government would be able to share technical data without worrying about anti-trust or classification laws. The bill also would grant businesses legal immunity if hacked so long as they acted in good faith to protect their networks. The bill is sponsored by Rogers and Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., the panel’s top Democrat.

But privacy advocates and civil liberties groups say the bill would open up Ameri-cans’ most private online records to the federal government. The bill doesn’t in-clude a requirement that companies scrub data of sensitive information like health or credit records before sharing it with the government.

High winds ground Ore. air search for Okla. teenJeff BarnardThe Associated Press

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — High winds on Thursday grounded an air search for a young Oklahoma man inspired by the movie “Into The Wild” to test himself against the wilderness in southeastern Oregon.

Harney County Sheriff Dave Glerup said the winds on Steen Mountain were too strong to fly safely, and they hoped for a break in the weather that would

let them fly Saturday.Dustin Self, 19, left his fam-

ily home in the Oklahoma City suburb of Piedmont “to see if he could live in the wild,” and to investigate some churches that practice a South American reli-gion that uses a hallucinogenic tea as a sacrament, his parents said. One is in Ashland, and the other in Portland.

“I’m just so worried about him,” said his mother, Tammy Self.

The Harney County Sheriff ’s

Office and others searched for him on Tuesday on the north-east side of Steens Mountain after a rancher found his pickup truck had slid off a backcountry track and gotten stuck. Search-ers on ATVs saw no tracks, but checked out remote cabins and worked their way up the moun-tain, with no sign of him before heavy snow and high winds cur-tailed their efforts, said Deputy Missy Ousley.

“We did everything we could to try to talk him out of it,” said

his mother. “He was leaving, no matter what.”

The teen was well-prepared with gear he bought just before leaving, but had little experience of life in the wild beyond family camping trips, his parents said.

“He is not a survivalist,” said his father, Victor Self, a manager at a box plant in Oklahoma City. “He is a very urban child.”

His parents last heard from him March 15, when he called from the parking lot of a motel in

northern Nevada where he was spending the night in the cab of his pickup. The next day, Dustin called his girlfriend in Austin, Texas, to say he was lost after his GPS had sent him onto a road along the east side of Steens Mountain in the high desert of southeastern Oregon.

Ousley said a storekeeper in Fields recalled him asking for directions to Lakeview, which would have taken him a different direction than where his truck was found.

NationObama honors bombing victims Julie PaceAP White House Correspondent

BOSTON — Called upon to console a griev-ing city and reassure a shaken nation, President Barack Obama on Thurs-day promised that Boston would “run again” after deadly twin bombings at its famous marathon. More than 2,000 people rose in a standing ovation in the Ca-thedral of the Holy Cross and sang “America the Beautiful.”

Obama’s message of resolve in time of trag-edy was echoed by Mayor Thomas Menino and Gov. Deval Patrick at a packed interfaith service.

“Nothing will take us down because we take care of one another,” Menino said. “Even with the smell of smoke in the air and blood in the streets and tears in our eyes, we tri-umphed over that hateful act.”

Three people were killed and more than 170 others were injured, some of them grievously, in Monday’s bombings near the race’s finish line.

Obama, in the midst of an emotional and trying stretch for the country and his presidency, vowed to track down those respon-sible and lauded Boston’s “undaunted” spirit.

“Your resolve is the greatest rebuke to whoever committed this heinous act,” he told the gathering.

Yet Obama’s words un-derscored the stark reality that has left many Ameri-cans jittery. Officials still don’t know who was re-sponsible for the bombings or what their motivations were, though authorities appeared to be narrowing their search for a suspect.

For Obama, the bomb-ings began a week con-sumed not only by terror but also disaster and po-litical defeat. Letters sent

to Washington officials, including Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., were found to contain traces of poisonous ricin in tests, evoking eerie paral-lels to the anthrax attacks that followed the terror of Sept. 11, 2001.

The president also lost a fight for new gun control measures in the Senate, then awoke Thursday to news of a powerful fertil-izer plant explosion that devastated a small Texas town.

Speaking from the pulpit in the soaring cathedral, the president didn’t explic-itly declare the deadly mar-athon explosions an “act of terror” as he did earlier in the week during remarks at the White House. But he showed little restraint in describing those respon-sible for the attack, calling them “small, stunted indi-viduals.”

“Yes, we will find you, and yes, you will face jus-tice,” he said, as the crowd — some wearing bright yellow marathon jackets — applauded.

Also in the crowd was Obama’s former presiden-tial rival, Mitt Romney, who served one term as Massachusetts governor. Several state officials, in-cluding Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Wil-liam “Mo” Cowan, traveled to Boston with Obama on Air Force One, as did Vicki Kennedy, the widow of the late Massachusetts icon, Sen. Ted Kennedy.

The president spoke of Boston in personal terms, reminding the audience of the years he spent in the city as a student at Har-vard Law School. Boston was also the host for the 2004 Democratic National Convention that featured Obama as the keynote speaker, a role that would thrust the little-known Illi-nois state senator into the national spotlight.

Kerry disappointed by recent talks with IranDonna CassataThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Secretary of State John Kerry called for patience despite widespread frustration with the re-cent failure of negotiations between six world powers and Iran over its disputed nuclear program and growing fears of Tehran developing a weapon of mass destruction.

Testifying Thursday before the Senate Foreign Rela-tions Committee, Kerry said he was disappointed by the inconclusive talks in Kazakhstan earlier this month, but insisted that a diplomatic resolution is still the best op-tion. The international community fears Tehran is devel-oping a nuclear weapon; Iran insists its work is for peace-ful purposes.

Congress has repeatedly pressed for tough sanctions on Iran, convinced that undermining its economy and oil revenue will thwart its nuclear program.

Kerry, in urging patience, highlighted uncertainty in Tehran, with a power struggle two months ahead of June elections, and said he did not expect “anything dramatic” in the next few weeks.

“We don’t need to spin this up at this point in time,” Kerry told the panel.

The secretary reiterated President Barack Obama’s past statements that the United States will ensure that Iran does not get a nuclear weapon.

Committee Chairman Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and oth-er lawmakers have succeeded in securing several rounds of penalties on Iran’s banking and energy sectors.

Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., a top sponsor of sanctions leg-islation since his arrival in the Senate in January 2011, is crafting a bill that would target regime officials who violate human rights with travel bans and seizure of as-sets, and essentially impose a commercial and financial embargo on Iran.

It also would basically impose a tough arms embargo on Iran, its proxies in Gaza and southern Lebanon, as well as North Korea, Syria and Sudan. The measure would close loopholes in current law related to Iran’s access to foreign exchange reserves.

Current sanctions have undercut the Iranian economy, causing high unemployment and inflation, while daily oil production and the value of the country’s currency, the rial, have dropped.

Kirk’s latest effort would mark the fifth time since June 2010 that Congress has slapped penalties on Iran.

Any penalties are certain to draw strong bipartisan sup-port as lawmakers, fearful of Iran’s ambitions and worried about its threat to Israel, have overwhelmingly embraced past sanctions legislation.

Menendez reminded Kerry that the diplomatic window with Iran is closing, giving impetus to the congressional moves for more sanctions.

Kerry said the State Department would like to work with Congress on the timing of any new initiatives.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, April 19, 2013:

This year your energy is so high that you have difficulty keeping your-self contained. You will need to incor-porate more physical activity into your life, or else your fuse will become shorter and shorter. If you are single, you will enjoy someone you meet after spring. This person likes to be active and is into sports. If you are attached, the two of you might take up a new hobby, sport or pastime together. LEO can be as demanding as you are!

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your zest for living comes

out, no matter what you say or do. Your spontaneity even becomes child-like, which allows for great conversa-tions and many laughs. Start doing some research on a new, passionate interest. Tonight: Make your choices colorful and exciting.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Your instincts guide you,

especially when dealing with a close family member. You could be put off by this person’s attitude or habits. Let it go, as this characteristic is just a small part of their personality. By late afternoon, you’ll start to perk up. Tonight: Celebrate the night.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You can be very charming

to others, but do not coerce them into agreeing to something that they won’t enjoy, especially regarding weekend plans. Your upbeat attitude tends to break down barriers. Everyone wants a little bit of what you’ve got. Tonight: You flirt!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Your moodiness allows you

to become a victim of overindulging. Curb your spending, and stay within your budget. Choose restaurants that support your diet. Take better care of yourself. Others will start treating you with more respect as a result. Tonight: Accept an invitation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You beam as you sense

a change in the wind. Listen to what is being shared. A neighbor might have some interesting information to share with you. Know that there is a nugget of truth in what you are hear-ing. Invitations and requests come in. Tonight: Be around a crowd.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

HH If you’re feeling out of sorts, take some much-needed personal time. You might want to find a trusted friend or relative to reach out to. This person makes an excellent confidant. Stop judging others — and yourself — so much. Tonight: Excuse yourself from festivities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Wherever you are, you

can be found networking away among the crowds. You could make a sur-prising connection that you will value even more than you might realize. Touch base with someone you often think of but perhaps don’t speak to. Tonight: Enjoy yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Fatigue or negativity could

be casting some darkness on your life. A partner will go out of his or her way to cheer you up. Express your appreciation, but try to eliminate an overwhelming issue. Speak to some-one who can help you. Tonight: Stay sensitive to a close loved one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Your mind opts to wander

while you are left trying to be efficient. Share your thoughts in order to get some feedback. Afterward, you will be more present. Run your errands, and get as much done possible. A last-minute detail could slow you down. Tonight: Time to be impulsive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH A close friend pleads his or

her case. Listen and respond accord-ingly. Allow more spontaneity into both your social and personal lives. You probably will enjoy yourself more once you relax. Life will be even more of an adventure! Tonight: Go along with a suggestion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Others often challenge you.

Though you don’t really care, you’ll listen to the criticism or issue and evaluate it in your time. This lack of an immediate response could trigger a negative reaction. You defuse natu-rally hidden agendas. Tonight: Only where people can be found.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You have a lot of ground to

cover, both personally and profession-ally. Be realistic — you might need to ask for help. Understand that a certain call might not be returned. Be discreet when dealing with a difficult person. Tonight: Unwind without a whole lot of people around.

Adam Geller and Denise LavoieThe Associated Press

BOSTON — The FBI released photos and video Thursday of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing and asked for the public’s help in identifying them, zeroing in on the two men on surveillance-camera footage less than three days after the deadly attack.

FBI agent Richard DesLauriers said the photos of the two men came from surveillance cameras near the explosion sites. One man is seen wearing a light-colored baseball cap, the other a dark cap. The man in the dark cap set down a backpack at the site of one of the blasts, DesLauriers said.

Within moments of the announcement, the FBI website crashed, perhaps because of a crush of visi-tors.

The images were re-leased hours after President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama attended an interfaith service at a Roman Catholic cathedral in Boston to remember the three people killed and more than 180 wounded in the twin blasts Monday at the marathon finish line.

The break in the in-vestigation came just days after the attack that tore off limbs, shattered windows and raised the specter of another ter-

rorist attack on U.S. soil.The suspects are consid-

ered armed and extremely dangerous, DesLauriers said, and people who see them should not approach them.

“Do not take any action on your own,” he warned.

Generally, law enforce-ment agencies release pho-tos of suspects only as a last resort, when they need the public’s help in identifying or capturing someone.

Releasing photos can be a mixed bag: It can tip off a suspect and deny police the element of surprise. It can also trigger an avalanche of

tips, forcing police to waste valuable time chasing them down.

At the Cathedral of the Holy Cross earlier in the day, Obama declared to the people of Boston: “Your re-solve is the greatest rebuke to whoever committed this heinous act.” He spoke in almost mocking terms of those who commit such vio-lence.

“We finish the race, and we do that because of who we are,” the president said to applause. “And that’s what the perpetrators of such senseless violence — these small, stunted indi-

viduals who would destroy instead of build and think somehow that makes them important — that’s what they don’t understand.”

“We will find you,” he warned those behind the attack.

Seven victims remained in critical condition. Killed were 8-year-old Martin Richard of Boston, 29-year-old restaurant manager Krystle Campbell of Med-ford, Mass., and Lu Lingzi, a 23-year-old Boston Uni-versity graduate student from China.

Video and photos recov-ered in the investigation are being examined and enhanced by an FBI unit called the Operational Tech-

nologies Division, said Joe DiZinno, former director of the FBI lab in Quantico, Va.

Investigators are looking at video frame by frame — a laborious process, though one aided by far more so-phisticated facial recogni-tion technology than is com-mercially available, forensic specialists said.

“When you have some-thing that is this high-pro-file, they are going to use every available resource that they have,” said former Mi-ami federal prosecutor Me-lissa Damian Visconti.

The investigation will probably collect about a mil-lion hours of videotape from fixed security cameras and cellphones and cameras used

by spectators, said Gene Grindstaff, a scientist at In-tergraph Corp., a Huntsville, Ala., company that makes video analysis software used by the FBI and other law en-forcement agencies.

But after years of inves-tigating terrorist incidents and other crimes, the FBI is practiced at cataloging, cate-gorizing and analyzing such evidence and will winnow it down dramatically, he said.

“Back in the days of 20 years ago, you were lucky if you had video and it was probably of poor quality and it took a tremendous amount of enhancement. Today you have a complete-ly different issue,” Grind-staff said.
