I’ve heard it said that we are all born equal. I guess that’s true. But what becomes of us after we are born?

That is hard to predict. Some of us will grow up to be doctors, lawyers, and maybe, Indian Chiefs.

Unfortuantely, some of us will grow up to be terrible people.

No one knew when William T. Anderson was born back around 1838-1839 back in Hopkins County, Kentucky, just what he’d wind up being in life. Had they known, they might have thrown him out with the umbilical cord.

What he grew up to be was a butcher; and not the kind you find in a meat market.

William Anderson was a tall, bearded man with piercing eyes often described as burning coals. He came from a family of horse thieves, dressed with panache, and when the Civil War started, he joined the secessionists.

Given the nickname "Bloody Bill," Anderson would charge into battle heedless of odds, showing no quarter and torturing prisoners by cutting off their ears.

His parents were William C. Anderson and Martha Anderson. Anderson, often referred to as Bill, was one of six children. He was recalled as a well-behaved child by those who knew him.

Soon after Anderson was born, his family moved to Palmyra, Missouri. There his grandfather, and possibly his father, worked as a hatter. By the mid-1840s, the Anderson family had moved to Iowa Territory. They soon relocated to Randolph County, Missouri.

William C. Anderson found employment working on a farm and was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. His family soon became well thought of by the local community.

Later, they moved to Kans.

They traveled to Bluff Creek

near Council Grove. At that time, there was significant debate about slavery in Kansas and many residents of the Northern United States were moving there in hopes of preventing it from becoming a slave state. Mutual dis-

trust and animosity soon developed between immigrants to Kansas from the North and those from the South. Though the Anderson family did not own slaves, they supported the status of blacks as slaves. Some histori-

Vigilantes often targeted political opponents in the area at that time, but the Anderson family was not targeted. After finishing their journey, the family became friends with A. I. Baker, a local judge who was a Confederate sympathizer.

In the rural area where the Anderson family lived, there was little Civil War-related unrest. As a young man, however, Anderson shot and killed a member of the Kaw tribe who alledgedly tried to rob him when he was traveling from Council Grove to a nearby ranch. Around the same time, Bill's brother Ellis fled to Iowa after an incident in which he killed an Indian.

On June 28, 1860, Martha Anderson died after being struck by lightning.

William C. Anderson began horse trading, taking horses from Council Grove and

transporting them to Missouri. He would return to Council Grove with more horses.

Anderson's father was shot dead in March 1862 by a local judge over a stolen horse.

Anderson and his brother Jim later confronted the judge, killing him along with his brother-in-law. Now in trouble with the law, Anderson and his family left Kansas and moved to western Missouri.

In Spring 1863, Anderson and his brother traveled to Jackson County, Missouri, to join Quantrill's raiders. Bill was initially given a chilly reception from other raiders, who perceived him to be brash and overconfident.

Quantrill was initially the most prominent guerrilla and led the largest force in the Kansas–Missouri area.

Though there was, and had been, a large Union presence in Missouri, Confederate sympathy was widespread, enabling a guerrilla movement. There was vicious guerrilla warfare that took place in the area. Confederate General Price had failed to then the other person said: "So what are you up to?"

What kind of question is that? I'm thinking.... this is too bizarre... so I said: "Uhhh, I'm like you, just traveling!"

At this point I was just trying to get out as fast as I could when I heard another question.

"Can I come over?"

OK, this question was just too weird for me but I figured I would just be polite and end the conversation...so I said: "No.. I'm just a little too busy right now!"

Then I hear the person say nervously...

gain control of Missouri in his 1861 offensive and had retreated into Arkansas. This made the guerrillas the only Confederate forces challenging Union dominance. They had initially formed small bands, but then grew to develop larger ones. Men joined the bands for multiple reasons, many were angry about things done to their friends or relatives by Union soldiers, but some simply wanted to kill.

In early May 1863, the group launched a raid near Council Grove. On the way there, they camped near what was the Anderson farm.

Anderson saw that his family's house had since been leveled. He was recognized by some local men who briefly engaged the group. They then robbed a store 15 miles west of Council Grove and continued West on the Santa Fe Trail. The group enountered a United States Marshall accompanied by a large posse and a number of the raiders were captured or killed. The rest of the group, inlcuding Anderson, broke into small groups and returned to Missouri.

raid may have given Quantrill the idea of launching a raid deep into Kansas.

In early summer 1863, Anderson was made a lieutenant in Quantrill's Raiders and served under George Todd. In mid-June, he took part in a raid near Westport in which 14 Union soliders were killed. He also led indpenendant raids with his own men. On July 15, Anderson and Pool led a raid into Lafeyette County that killed four members of a Union militia and a prisoner was taken.

The first reference to Anderson in one large volume about the Civil War was focused on his activities at around this time, describing him as the Captain of a band of guerrillas. Anderson then commanded 30–40 men, many of whom were from Kansas. One notable member of Anderson's band was Archie Clement, an 18-yearold with a predilection for torture and mutilation.

the town's main hotel.

Anderson took the man's uniform. The guerrillas proceeded to pillage and burn many buildings in the town, killing every man who appeared on the streets.

Clement was always loyal to Anderson, not Quantrill or any other guerrilla leader.

Anderson began leading attacks, commanding 25 bushwackers on a raid of a wagon train on July 31 four miles from the Union Army's Kansas City headquarters. The Sixth and Ninth Kansas Calvaries separately arrived at the site of the raid roughly a half hour after the bushwackers left, but Anderson and his men easily escaped. The bushwackers traveled Northwest, killing two Union supporters on the way. The group reached the Kansas River, where they rendezvoued with Anderson's sisters, brought them to Little Santa Fe, and left the town.

The bushwackers were then engaged by the Sixth Kansas Calvary, four bushwackers were killed and the rest scattered into the woods of Missouri.

The guerrillas had a network of support in Jefferson County, and had numerous hiding places in the woods.

Anderson's sisters supported the bushwackers, gathering information in Union territory.

Union General Thomas Ewing, Jr. attempted to the thwart the guerrillas by arresting their female relatives, including Anderson's sisters. His sisters, along with a number of other girls, were housed in a three-story building on Grand Avenue in Kansas City. The building collapsed and one of the Anderson girls was killed. In the aftermath, some outraged citizens claimed that the building had been intentionally sabotaged by Union soldiers. The soldiers, however, claimed that the building had been damaged while girls were attempting to escape.

Union soldiers in the neighboring building had taken down a wall between the two structures to enlarge a room, an act which may have weakened the building. Anderson perceived the event as an intentional murder. Wood notes that Anderson's motivation shifted after the death of his sister: killing subsequently became a very enjoyable act and the focus of his life.

“Bloody Bill” Anderson Lawrence Massacre Many of the guerrillas that served under Quantrill and their family members had suffered due to the actions of Union soldiers, motivating them to fight. The idea of a raid on Lawrence, Kansas, had been considered, and the building collapse encouraged the guerrillas to make a bold strike. After the deaths of the girls, Quantrill attained nearunanimous consent to strike Lawrence, 40 miles into Union territory. A large group of guerrillas met at the Blackwater river in Northwest Johnson County and Anderson was put in charge of forty men. He was perhaps the angriest, and most motivated, of all.

On August 19, the group began the trip to Lawrence.

Another group of guerrillas joined them on the way, making it the largest guerrilla force under one commander in the entire war. Anderson was considered by some of his fellow guerrillas to be one of the deadliest fighters in the group. On the trip some guerrillas robbed a Union supporter. After Anderson saw the man he realized that he was an old acquaintance and reimburesed the man the value of his stolen possessions. The group reached Lawrence near dawn. They cordoned off the town and resolved not to kill women or children.

The guerrillas immediately killed a number of Union Army recruits, and one of Anderson's men took their Union flag. A Captain who served as the Provost Marshall of Kansas met the men and surrendered to them, allowing them use of

Anderson personally killed 14 people during the attack.

Though some begged for their lives, he was not dissuaded. The guerrillas under Anderson's command killed more than any of the other groups.

Anderson did respond to the begging of a woman who asked him not to burn her house, though.

They left town at 9 am after they saw a company of Union soliders coming to the town. The raiding party left Lawrence followed closely by the Union military.

The guerrillas eventually managed to break contact

Lawrence, Kansas, after the raid with the Union soldiers and then scattered into the Missouri woods about thirty six hours after they left the state. During the pursuit, an Indian who was allied with the Union Army scalped one of the raiders who had been killed, a tactic soon adopted by the guerrillas.

Texas A group of 450 guerrillas under Quantrill met at Blackwater River in Jackson County and headed toward Texas on October 2, earlier in the year than they normally would have. On the way to Texas, they entered Baxter Springs, Kansas, the site of Fort Blair. They attacked the fort, but the ninety federal troops entered the fort and suffered minimal losses. A larger group of federal troops

arrived and Quantrill's men, who were dressed in federal uniforms, charged the Union soldiers. They inflicted heavy damages, killing about 100.

Anderson and his men were in the rear of the charge, but gathered a large amount of plunder from the dead soldiers, irritating some of the other guerrillas. Anderson wished to attack the fort again, not being satisfied with the number killed, but Quantrill insisted they continue their journey.

On October 12, they met Samuel Cooper and then proceeded to Mineral Springs in Texas to rest for the winter.

Anderson met and married a young woman from Sherman who worked in a local saloon.

Although Quantrill was opposed to the marriage, Anderson was unpersuaded, adding tension to his relation-

ship with Quantrill.

Anderson did not noticeably change after his marriage and some have disputed that he was legally married.

Quantrill reassembled his men and sent most of them into active duty with the Confederate Army, retaining eighty four men, including Anderson. He was made a first lieutenant and was third in command of the group. He was admired by many of the reckless young soldiers. One of the men who reported to Anderson, however, was expelled from the group for stealing. Warned not to return, he was shot and killed when members of the group later found him nearby.

Another of Anderson's men was disciplined for killing someone. These acts of discipline angered Anderson.

Page 4 - February 23, 2012 Escondido Police RedFaced Over Bumbling Red Light Camera Ticket Of all the people to ticket due to a red light camera . . .

Escondido Police are explaining and apologizing to a former Sheriff’s Deputy . . . who was in charge of red light cameras while with the Sheriff’s Department.

52 year-old Marcos Ramirez, a 26 year veteran of the Sheriff’s Department was in charge of his department’s red-light camera program in Vista and Encinitas before he retired.

Fast forward to April of 2011.

A red-light camera captured a motorist running a red light at Lincoln Avenue and Fig St. Lieutenant Tom Albergo, who heads up the Escondido red-light camera department acknowledges that someone in his department goofed up.

He did not check carefully enough and issued a citation

Local News to Marco Ramirez . . . but it was a different Marco Ramirez who had run the red light. The case went to court and his license was suspended when he failed to appear.

Ramirez never knew any of this was happening until his auto insurance agency told him in January that his policy would not be renewed because his license was suspended.

Part of the reason for the mistake may be because his name is so common among Latinos, Ramirez said.

"I'm just one of many people with the name Marcos Ramirez," he said. "But exactly because of that, you should do more due diligence because you are affecting someone's life for no reason at all."

Lt. Albergo said since he started overseeing the traffic division about a year ago, there have been about four This trip has been so heart moving in many ways.

other cases similar to Ramirez's, in which the wrong person was cited.

Typically, the officer checks the vehicle's registration information and compares it with driver's license information, including the photo, to make sure the driver is the same individual.

Sgt. Ramirez said the citation should never have been issued, and that the community service officer appears to have overlooked a number of red flags.

Councilwoman Olga Diaz said Wednesday that the city needs to take a look at the program to either reduce the number of cameras or dismantle it altogether.

Ramirez said the city should either vastly improve the program, including using experienced police officers to review the photos, or stop using red-light cameras.

Anderson was known for his brutality towards Union soldiers, and pro Union partisans, who were called Jayhawkers.

Anderson had sent letters to newspapers in Lexington, Missouri, promising further violence against pro-Union civilians and threatening to take women of Union families as hostages. That year he was joined by a group of recruits who had served briefly with Archie Clement, his own lieutenant; these recruits included Frank James, who had been one of Quantrill's Raiders, and the sixteen-year-old Jesse James.

During this time, Anderson's men adopted the practice of dangling the bloody scalps of their victims from their horse bridles.

Anderson reportedly wrote to a newspaper in Lexington, Missouri on July 7, 1864 stating: “I commenced at the first of this war to fight for my country, not to steal from it. I have cho-

sen guerrilla warfare to revenge myself for wrongs that could not [be] honorably avenged otherwise. I lived in Kansas when the war commenced. Because I would not fight the people of Missouri, my native state, the Yankees sought my life, but failed to get me. Revenged themselves by murdering my father, destroying all my property, and have since that time murdered one of my sisters and kept the other two in jail [for] twelve months.”

Centralia Massacre (Missouri) On September 27, 1864, Anderson led fellow bushwhackers in the Centralia Massacre looting and terrifying the local populace.

During the attack they barricaded the tracks of the Northern Missouri Railroad and forced a train to stop.

The group robbed the civilian passengers and killed 22 Union soldiers who were returning home on furlough.

Anderson left one Union sergeant alive for a possible prisoner exchange; the rest he had stripped, shot, scalped or otherwise mutilated.

The same day, Union Major A.V.E. Johnston of the newly raised 39th Missouri Infantry Regiment (Mounted) set off with his men to pursue Anderson's band. Anderson, in conjunction with other guerrilla leaders such as George M. Todd, sent out a detachment that lured Johnston into a trap. After discharging their single-shot rifles and causing light guerrilla casualties, the Union soldiers were overrun by the pistol-wielding bushwhackers.

Many fled in a panic as the guerrillas cut them down.

Those who tried to surrender were slaughtered. Around 120 mounted infantrymen were killed in the ambush and pursuit. Anderson and his men crushed faces, disemboweled corpses, took scalps, and cut off noses. It was said that no Union soldier ended up with the same head he had begun the day. And Jesse James was right there in the middle of it.

Anderson's death Union headquarters assigned militia Colonel Samuel P. Cox the task of eliminating the guerrilla leader. On

October 26, 1864, Cox managed to locate Anderson near the hamlet of Albany, which is now part of Orrick, in Ray County, Missouri. Ironically, he used one of Anderson's favorite tactics against him.

Cox sent a mounted detachment to lure the guerrillas into an ambush.

Cox gave this account of the battle: “ I had only about 300 men under my command and gave the word to stand their ground – this fight must be victory or death – and not a man faltered. We dismounted at the wooden bridge leaving our horses in charge of the men with the commissary wagons.

Crossing the bridge I stationed my men in the timber and gave explicit instructions not to begin shooting until I gave the command. Lt. Baker was sent ahead to reconnoiter and bring on the fight with instructions to retreat through our line. Cas. Morton, now a retired brigadier general, of Washington, D.C., was sent to Baker with the word to start the ‘Bloody Bill’ Anderson’ Cont. on Page 13

On the “Home Front”, we, as dentists, with our dental staff, are always encouraging those that smoke or use smokeless tobacco to stop and have been directed by the Federal and State agencies on health to counsel our patients on their detrimental effects. What a lot of our patients don’t know is that, when tobacco use is combined with alcohol, the incidence of oral cancer increases dramatically!

Studies show that it may increase your chances of getting oral cancer 10 fold!

It’s not an exaggeration to say that having your periodic cleaning and dental examination is your early warning system to detecting and preventing this disease as well as many others. Your mouth is a “window” for detecting systemic problems you may be having, and in the case of tobacco usage, the signs can be very clear to your dentist.

Understanding Your Real Estate Options

by Cherrie Giles Certified Property Manager Giles and Company Residential & Commercial Real Estate, Leasing and Property Management RENTING YOUR HOME 101

So what happens when you really want to sell your home, but you just don’t like the price you can get for it? You may start thinking about renting your house out and throw your hat into the Landlord Ring!

Whatever the reason, renting out your house, even at a lower price than the current mortgage payment, might actually make financial sense. It’s better than

Choco Bear is an adorable chip of cuteness. At the size of only a half dozen cupcakes he weighs in at a huge 5 pounds…And he hasn’t even fully risen yet at only about 2 years old. He is a mellow little fellow who just loves to be too not but snuggled tightly….soft creamy center.

Arthur is a 1 year old, 65 pound, neutered, male, Chocolate Labrador Retriever and Hound mix. He was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through our FOCAS program. His original owner found out that a one year old Lab mix needed more time and attention than he was able to provide.

Like all our pups Choco Bear is neutered, microchipped and all his vaccines and rabies are up to date. He comes with a full 4 piece safety equipment set, food for his transition and any favorite toys or bedding. Please visit him at our adoption event this Saturday. All the details are on our website. You can also see more pictures of him and view all our pups on our website www.forgottenpaws.org. Or contact us at admin@forgottenpaws.org.

Arthur is smart, enthusiastic, and a bit of a goofball. That's normal for a dog his age. All he wants is a home where he can love, be loved, learn, and make his people proud of him.

payment and may have to carry a negative cash flow on a monthly basis. Being a Landlord requires a skill set that is a diverse combination of business expertise and social skills.

Our job is to help you evaluate “your willing risk factor.”

In the past, owning a rental property has been a path to building your wealth. If you manage the property correctly, your tenant’s rental payments will pay for the mortgage. But there can be some negatives too.

Not everyone is cut out to be a Landlord.

Making a mortgage payment is tough for most, but now you have two mortgage payments that you are responsible for. You may not be able to rent out the house to pay your entire

Arthur's adoption fee at RCHS is only $125. That includes neuter, up to date vaccines, veterinary exam, and microchip. Rancho Coastal Humane Society is at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas.

Adoption hours are 11 am to 5 pm Wednesday through Monday. For more information call 760-753-6413.

It is important that you calculate a fair and equitable rental rate that will attract tenants and at the same time leaving room for a profit and/or covering your existing expenses.

If you are not entirely comfortable dealing with potential tenants, hiring a property management firm to administer the details is a smart business move. A good property management company knows that being a good judge of character is a good attribute, but completing a credit report and a background check is more accurate.

Escondido • Mayor Sam Abed Escondido Recreation Partners with PAL The Escondido Recreation Division has partnered with the Escondido Police Athletic League (PAL) to take youth basketball to a new level! Focusing on creating a feeder program for the already existing PAL competitive club basketball team, Sergeant Allen Owens saw a natural fit to partner with Escondido Recreation to provide youth basketball once again in Escondido.

This partnership has allowed Escondido Recreation to provide four basketball seasons over the past two years that has served more than 400 Escondido youth.

PAL has donated uniforms, equipment and most importantly more than 200 volunteer hours to coach, score keep and mentor these young athletes.

Through these recreational programs, this partnership has done an outstanding job of creating a sense of a strong community Escondido.

The Police Officer involvement in youth sports has created a bridge between law enforcement and the community members to ensure Escondido is a safe place to live, work, and play!

For more information regarding more Escondido Recreation programs including youth and adult sports, classes, camps for kids and much more, please visit us online at www.recreation.escondido.org.

Rancho Bernardo • Mayor Jerry Sanders Crime Still on the Decline As it has been for several years now, crime is still on the decline in San Diego, falling in 2011 to levels not seen in four decades.

The total number of major crimes in San Diego dropped 4.3 percent last year, and our city had the lowest homicide rate of any big city in the nation last year, according to U-T San Diego. Overall, the crime rate was the lowest it’s been since the Nixon Administration.

A major factor in this is the extraordinary level of involvement of our police officers with the community.

Officers attend 170 community meetings every month to hear residents’ concerns and seek their input.

San Diego also has roughly 900 neighborhood watch programs involving 15,000 citizens.

We have nearly 800 volunteers who help out our department interact with the public. This input is absolutely indispensable to our success, as is the dedication of the men and women who put on their uniform every day.

With all the progress we’ve made, America’s Finest City is fast becoming America’s Safest City, too. I want to congratulate Chief William Lansdowne, the police department and all the citizens of San Diego for our shared success in this area.

Vista • Mayor Judy Ritter Vista Moves Forward In Spite of the Loss of Redeveloment Funding

Currently, the City of Vista is moving forward as the successor agency and has assumed responsibility for administering and completing work that is allowed under our existing agreements.

While Vista’s Redevelopment Agency’s efforts have provided the City of Vista with much needed community services, infrastructure improvements, and job opportunities, such as the Vista Business Park, Vista Village, North County Square, Costco and the Vista Transit Center, the bill that would have extended the life of California’s redevelopment agencies did not pass.

While the City Council is still committed to the Paseo Santa Fe project, the timing and approach to its implementation may be affected. We are still moving forward with street and drainage improvements along South Santa Fe. A few weeks ago, Vista Irrigation District relocated several water mains along Mercantile and Rincon streets and along Pala Vista Drive to make way for the placement of storm drain pipes. Construction for the drainage improvements will begin in the spring and the road improvements will follow.

On February 1st all CA redevelopment agencies were dissolved.

San Marcos • Mayor Jim Desmond Arts and cultural grants to be given by San Marcos Community Foundation The San Marcos Community Foundation (Foundation) has $6,000 to award under its Arts and Cultural Grant Program for various projects or programs that meet the granting criteria of enhancing arts or cultural programming in San Marcos.

Interested applicants may apply now through April 5 for consideration.

Since awarding its first set of grants in 1988, the Foundation has provided nearly $1 million to non-profit organizations serving San Marcos. The Foundation acts as a non-profit public benefits corporation to provide financial and other assistance to programs that benefit the City of San Marcos.

The granting program was established in 1988 when a $1 million endowment was given to the City of San Marcos by North County Resource Recovery Associates as part of a development agreement for a trash-to-energy plant. While the plant never came to fruition, the City retained the endowment under the agreement.

Since then, the Foundation has granted funds for programs or projects that have supported the San Marcos community.

Funding has been granted to benefit senior programs, children and youth sports, drug and alcohol abuse prevention and daycare for pre-school and latch-key children.

If you have a program or project that may benefit from this program, please visit www.sanmarcoscommunityfoundation.co m for more information.

Oceanside • Mayor Jim Wood MLK Scholarships Applications for the 2012 City of Oceanside – Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship Program are now available at local Oceanside high schools by contacting the schools’ Scholarship Coordinator or at the Oceanside Public Library.

Any graduating senior who lives in Oceanside and will be attending college after graduation is eligible to apply.

The scholarship program has no racial, ethnic, gender or other arbitrary criteria; residency in Oceanside is the only requirement for application. In 2011, the scholarship pro-

gram awarded $27,000 to 14 students from five different high schools and has presented over $500,000 since the first scholarships were awarded in 1993. Now that is commitment to higher education, with all funds for the program coming from community donations – no public monies are used for the scholarships.

The 2012 recipients will be introduced to donors at the annual MLK Scholarship Garden Reception on June 1st.

For more information on this excellent opportunity or to make a donation to this program, be sure to contact John Lundblad in the City of Oceanside’s Neighborhood Services Department at (760) 435-3393.

Page 12 - February 23, 2012 capabilities of your PC. No matter how much you spend on bells and whistles, your PCs performance will be limited by the speed of your CPU.

Nome and Paul Van Middlesworth email: pvanmid@yahoo.com The Computer Factory More on Speed

Last week we discussed the yearto-year progression of PC processor (CPU) speeds. We made the point that although a six year old PC may have only a fraction of the speed of a new PC, it will still perform most online and off-line applications quite satisfactorily, assuming its operating system is clean and it has adequate memory (RAM) and hard drive space. Eventually however, your old PC will reach the point where it simply isn’t worth fixing or maintaining and you will need to buy a new one.

When you buy a new PC you want to be sure you get the best “bang for your buck.” CPU speed is a primary consideration. The CPU dictates the performance

College Students Cannot Afford CSU Trustee Tuition at California’s State Universities has more than doubled over the last five years, squeezing out middle-income students that do not qualify for financial aid and can no longer afford the growing cost of admission.

Amid the fee increases, CSU Trustees have approved generous raises to University executives. It is unreasonable that the CSU Board of Trustees would award lucrative bonuses, lavish perks, and pay hikes to campus executives while tuition at California’s public colleges continues to skyrocket. Several Trustees, including the Chairman Herbert Carter, voted this year for double digit fee hikes while also approving a $400,000 pay package for a new campus President.

CPU speed is a measure of how much work it can perform in a given amount of time. The measurements are called “benchmarks.” The best-known and most widely used benchmarking system for PCs is Passmark Benchmarks (PB).

A CPU that scores 2000PB is twice as fast as one that scores 1000PB. A six-year-old PC could have a low–end Intel Celeron (300PB) or a high-end AMD Athlon 64 FX (1500PB). That’s a 500% speed difference between low-end and high-end CPUs. The CPUs available in today’s new computers show the same 500% performance spread except that instead of being 300PB to 1500PB as it was in 2006, it’s now 2000PB to 10,000PB.

core CPUs push the performance envelope.

Intel’s fastest CPU may be an i7 but buying a PC with an i7 does not guarantee that you are getting a “fast” computer. The fastest i7s do benchmark at 10,000PB but other i7s benchmark as low as 5500PB, far slower than the fastest i5 CPUs with speeds of over 8000PB. To complicate matters further, the fastest i3 CPUs are faster than the slower members of the i5 family.

The point here is that since Intel’s three families of retail CPUs (i3, 5 and 7) overlap one another in both price and per-

formance, you need more information than knowing whether your new PC has an i3, 5 or 7.

Retailers often use confusion over the Intel “i” family of CPUs to up-sell customers thinking they are getting a “deal” by upgrading from an i5 to an i7 when they are actually getting a slower cheaper CPU. Before you buy a new PC, check the CPU speed on www.passmark.com and be sure you get what you pay for.

Next week we’ll explain why over 75% of the new PCs we build use AMD CPUs and why you should think twice before buying a new desktop PC with an Intel CPU.

The low-end range (2000BP to 3000BP) is dominated by AMD’s dual and triple core CPUs and Intel’s i3 and i5 CPUs. The midrange (3000PB to 6000PB) is populated mainly with Intel i5s and i7s and AMD quad and six core CPUs. At the top of the heap (up to 10,000BP) the Intel i7s and the AMD six and eight

A vote is pending in the State Senate on whether to confirm Mr. Carter to the Board of Trustees.

I will not be supporting Mr. Carter’s confirmation and hope that my opposition sends University officials a message that students and their families deserve better. Californians cannot afford golden pay raises for administrators when students are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of college tuition.

sents the people of the 38th Senate District, which includes San Diego (Rancho Bernardo, 4S Ranch, Rancho Penasquitos, Carmel Valley) and Solana Beach, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Rancho Santa Fe, San Marcos, Escondido, Vista the south Orange County cities of San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano.

Have We Really Cut State Spending?

While Californians continue to struggle to make ends meet, they have the right to be frustrated knowing state government has actually expanded since the recession began. It is a common myth that state spending has been slashed in recent years.

Unfortunately, the data simply does not show that spending in California has declined. An analysis of data from the Department of Finance shows that overall spending has grown from $194.3 billion in 2007-08 to $213.9 in 2011-12. While it is true that General Fund spending is down as a result of the recession, overall state spending is actually up sharply, growing by more than $19 billion over the last 4 years.

Another myth is that state hiring freezes and "golden handshakes" have reduced the number of state employees. In fact, the state has grown its public employee payroll by 20,000 new government workers over the past decade.

Budget writers manipulate word definitions and create whole new meanings - such as when a "cut" doesn't necessarily mean a drop in spending. Unfortunately, in Sacramento budget-speak, “cut” means spending didn’t grow at a rate that meets the expectation of advocates for ever-expanding state programs.

This twisted definition, used at taxpayer’s expense, explains why our ongoing budget problems need honest solutions.

Others turned and fled, but the grim old chieftain and two of his men went right through the line, shooting and yelling, and it was as Anderson and one of his men turned and came back that both of them were killed. The celebrated (Capt.) Archie Clement, who had gone through our line with Anderson, kept right on across the bridge and stampeded my wagon train and its guards boy [sic] yelling to them to fly as the command was cut to pieces, and thinking it was one of their men, they ran and kept it up until I was a day or two getting them together again. In the hubbub, Clement escaped. Clell Miller, afterwards a noted bank robber and a desperate character, was wounded in this fight and taken prisoner. It was with difficulty I restrained my men and the citizens from lynching him.”

"Bloody Bill" had fallen from his horse after being shot twice through the side of the head. It has been alleged that a silken cord with fifty-three knots was found on Anderson to mark the number of men he had killed.

Human scalps were also found attached to his horse's bridle. In his pocket a photograph of Anderson and his wife was found as well as lock of hair from their infant child. Also found on Anderson's body were private papers and orders from General Sterling Price.

Combined, these items were used to confirm Anderson's identity.

Page 14 - February 23, 2012 ‘Bloody Bill’ Anderson’ Cont. from Page 13 play, and photographed. He was then decapitated, his head stuck on a telegraph pole and his body dragged through the streets before being buried in an unmarked grave in Richmond's Pioneer Cemetery. In 1908 the exguerrilla and outlaw Frank James arranged for a funeral service at Anderson's grave site. A veteran's tombstone was placed over his grave in 1967 and the birth year is there incorrectly stated as

1840.

Death controversy As with many notorious characters in American history, various people appeared after his death, claiming to be Bloody Bill Anderson.

During a bank robbery in Gallatin, Missouri, on December 7, 1869, Jesse James shot the cashier ‘Local News’ Cont. from Page 4 Departrment was nominated by the San Diego Regional ICE office for the project, “Operation Joint Effort,” which started in May, 2010.

Under “Operation Joint Effort,” ICE officers were embedded in the Escondido Police Department. Under this plan they don't ride with officers, and don't go to checkpoints, however, they are available 24 hours a day; if

(Captain John W. Sheets 1818-1869) mistaking him for Samuel P. Cox, the man James said had killed Bloody Bill Anderson.

In 1924, a Brown County, Texas, settler named William Columbus Anderson was interviewed by Henry C. Fuller, a staff writer for the "Brownwood BannerBulletin.” Anderson claimed that he was the real Bloody Bill Anderson, with the same name and middle initial as Anderson's father. He said that another guerrilla's body had been mistaken for his own. W. C. Anderson lived in a farmhouse at Salt Creek, near Brownwood, dying in 1927 at age eighty-seven. As with so many cases of purported survivors (including the many claimants to being Jesse James), independent scholars have given no credence to this or other claims.

Critical Opinion In the movie The Outlaw Josey Wales the title character, played by Clint Eastwood, is visited by a band loosely structured around Anderson's bushwhackers.

Wales agrees to ride with the someone is suspected to be an illegal alien with a criminal background or who has been formally deported . . . (ordered by a judge, signing a formal deporatation order).

If they have returned then ICE will take custody as they have then committed a federal felony.

ICE agrees with parameters of the Escondido Police Department; many times, Escondido officers encounter illegals with no criminal background . . . they then do not

group to "set things right" by killing the Redleg guerrilla (based on William Sloan Tough, though named after William R. Terrill) who killed his family. Anderson is played by John Russell in the film. Although the movie is accurate about Anderson's killings, it is inaccurate in aspects such as his death and his sister, who, in the film, was said to have been hanged due to her relation with Anderson.

Anderson and Quantrill are both mentioned in the Coen brother's 2010 film "True Grit." One of the film's main protagonists, Federal Marshall Rooster Cogburn, is accused of participating in Anderson's marauding by a Texas ranger. Cogburn appears proud of his service with Quantrill and Anderson, though the ranger claims that they murdered women and children.

Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki /William_T._Anderson http://www.enotes.com/top ic/William_T._Anderson turn over to ICE. ICE will check, but if no criminal background, they don't take into custody.

The program has been so successful it has spread to San Marcos, Vista, and Fallbrook, Sheriff's Departments. ICE sends their extra officers to Escondido to train, then are assigned to those three substation.

The V-Disc (V for Victory) was a morale-boosting initiative involving the production of several series of recordings during the WWII era by special arrangement between the United States government and various private U.S. Record companies. The records were produced for the use of United States military personnel overseas. There were Army V-Discs created between 1943 and 1949. Navy V-Discs were release between 1944 and 1945. Today V-Discs are collectibles, with some titles by Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra or Billie Holiday garnering $50-$75 apiece.
