A few days after my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Harold the plumber came to fix my parents' toilet. Mom told Harold about the cancer. Harold told Dad that surely it was Jesus who had sent him to fix the toilet, to help my father get right with him before he died. Dad didn't have the heart to tell Harold that he was a Jew and an agnostic and that, furthermore, he was certain he'd be one of the small percentage of people diagnosed with stage-four pancreatic cancer who would survive, because that's the kind of person he was: an odds-beater.
He'd just finished writing a book — his very first, at age 67! — about defeating the odds: in this case, the U.S. Navy, which was using the inhabited island of Culebra, off the coast of Puerto Rico, for target practice. The book, describing his legal odyssey to rid the island of mortar fire, was finally coming out, 37 years after he'd tapped out its first sentence. He had a lecture to deliver to a bunch of Caribbean scholars in San Juan in March at a celebration planned in his honor. And he'd be damned if he would miss the party.
Harold stood his ground and begged my father to take Jesus into his heart before it was too late. Damnation on earth, the plumber explained, was the least of his worries. My father smiled, paid the plumber and promised to think about it. That night, on the cancer blog we created for him, Dad described his conversation with Harold. "Whether it was Christ's will or just Harold's plumbing skill," he concluded, "the toilet now flushes beautifully."
As the weeks wore on and Dad grew sicker, he decided to take Jesus and Buddha and Vishnu and Yaweh and any other god ever invented by man into his heart as a simple precautionary measure. A lawyer who'd won most of the battles he fought, he knew the value of covering all bases. He'd kick himself, he told me, if after he died he found out there really was a heaven and a bunch of gods up there actually listening to sick people's pleas.
So he prayed he would be around for my 15th wedding anniversary in September, and he made it. He prayed he'd be a guest at my children's b'nai mitzvah in November — a date we'd accelerated for his sake — and he made it. He prayed he'd make it to Thanksgiving, and he made it. "I'm going to give that lecture in San Juan," he bragged, smiling and gnawing heartily on a turkey leg in a way I hadn't seen him gnaw in weeks. "Just you wait!"
But the day after Thanksgiving, Dad was rushed to the hospital. Eleven days later he was dead. His gods, all of them, had failed him, a mere three months before his book's publication.
He did get to see a few early copies, however, and in his last act as a sentient being, after we thought we'd already lost him to the painkillers, he suddenly sat up in bed, yelled, "Pen!" and signed the last of his four daughters' copies, mustering all of his will to write the following to my sister: "Dec. 6, 2008, Dear Jen, I love you so much. We have said what we needed to say last night. All my loe always. Love, Dad." So what if he left off the "v" in love? The love was there on the page, as it had always been in our lives.
It was decided that I would write and deliver Dad's lecture for him. The plan was to fly down to San Juan at the beginning of the week, do a bunch of TV, print and radio interviews, then give the lecture on a Thursday night at a celebratory reception whose guests would include Ramón Feliciano, former mayor of Culebra, and Raphael Hernández Colón, former governor of Puerto Rico, both of whom had grown quite close to my father during their mutual battle against the Navy.
I actually was looking forward to the trip. My family had been hit hard by the recession, and with our finances in shambles, I had little chance of traveling to the tropics for years to come. Plus, after all those frigid months, watching my father die and our bank account dwindle, I was craving a little sunshine.
But the gods, once again, refused to cooperate. It rained nonstop during the entire four days of my trip. I had underestimated how emotionally draining it would be to take my dead father's place. Although I'd studied his book closely in preparation for the interviews, every question posed to me instead of him made my father's absence that much more palpable. I found myself absentmindedly tapping the first few digits of his cell phone number into my PDA, the only physical place he still exists, as if I could just dial him up, wherever he is, whenever I'd like, and ask him to clarify.
The night of the celebration in his honor, one of the scholars in attendance showed footage of me, age 9, sitting up on a dais watching my father, age 34, waving to the cheering, grateful crowds on Flamenco Beach in 1975, the day the Navy was finally forced off the island. I'd had stars in my young eyes back then, watching my father receive his hero's welcome, and being reminded of that sunny day long since past made me cry in a way I'd never cried before. Oh, sure, I'd cried at his bedside, as he took his last breath; and I'd wept at his funeral, as I eulogized him on the bimah; and I'd wailed at his gravesite, at the smack and patter of dirt hitting casket. But this was a different kind of mourning. I barely made it through the lecture.
After 12 hours had passed and I still could not stop crying, I went for a walk along the cobblestone alleyways of Old San Juan to try to clear the nimbus clouds gathering between my ears. It was dawn but still dark, still raining hard, and the umbrella I had wasn't up to the task. I ducked into the nearest building to warm up and dry off.
When I realized where I was — in the vestibule of an empty church — I recalled Harold the plumber's dire warning to my father: Take Jesus into your heart or face damnation. I am my father's daughter, a firm agnostic and rationalist, but willing to try anything if it'll work. So I walked up to the second pew, knelt down and, Jew that I am, prayed to Jesus for a revelation.
But staring up at that wooden man on his cross, my hands clasped together, the only revelation that came to me was this: "I get it. You're suffering; I'm suffering! No wonder Christianity spread like wildfire." I suddenly felt ridiculous kneeling there in that church. But I also felt, for lack of a better word, Jewish. More Jewish, in fact, than I'd ever felt. "Sorry, God," I said, to no god in particular. Then I stood up, walked out of the church and called my doctor. "Help," I said. "I think I'm having a nervous breakdown."
A few days later, I took Lexapro into my heart. Though I'm loath to call what followed "divine revelation," I will say this: In the plagiarized words of my late, great father, whether it was God's will or just the antidepressant's plumbing skills, the toilet now flushes beautifully.

This is really interesting stuff.
Impressed ! Very much impressed. I was there, in my little island of Culebra. I joined the group to fight for our rights and get the navy to leave our island. Nothing personal. But we were scared, the bombs were dangerously falling near houses. The fishes dead. Nature, burning. I went to Washington to the Pentagon with the mayor and Mr. Vincent. From there to New York. We had an appointment with Robert Kennedy, but he was murdered a few days before. Mr. Copaken was our heroe. He returned the hope to us. He fought like if he was a native from Culebra. He is in heaven with Jesus. But guess what? Finally I married one of them sailors from the O.P. I married the enemy !! Forty years of marriage now. You see,nothing personal. ha ha.
A beautiful story, so nice to read when most of our media is filled with people shouting at each other.
Christianity is not true, it has no truth, it is based upon the Christian Bible which is 100% proven fiction, Jesus is fiction and completely unhistorical. Jesus NEVER existed, the New Testament is a fabrication or forgeries and fictional narrative many based upon Homer and some on Virgil and some of the Death of Socrates and some more. Articles like this make me sick that human beings can be so stupid.
Thank you for writing and sharing your story, which I just read in the hard copy edition of the Forward. As the dad of a teen age daughter, I hope our bond grows like the one between you and your father.
You said after he died, you found yourself tapping out the first digits of his cell number, as if you could still call him. Well, in a way maybe you can.
After my mom died (several years ago) I asked my then 6 year old daughter if she could still call her up on the cell phone. She said "sure" and punched the numbers. OK, no one really answered, but it did seem like we were connected to grandma.
Give it a try.

Legend Windsor backs Wales for Championship triumph
1:52pm Saturday 16th March 2013 in Sport By Will Bain
WALES and Lions great Bobby Windsor feels Wales' huge Six Nations decider with England will be decided in his old stomping ground – the front row.
Windsor, who won 28 caps for Wales, said: "Seven points, I think we can do it I really do.
"But I think our pack need to say to the English pack 'we're taking them on.' "England's game is based around that pack but as they used to say in Dad's Army they don't like it up 'em!
"I think we can get at them up front, I'm not sure Dan Cole is as solid as they say.
"No pack likes going backwards, it makes you as a forward feel like you're running around with lead boots on and all you're thinking is 'please don't drop the ball or knock it on because I don't want another scrum', whereas the side going forward at the scrum are buzzing.
"If we can get that platform we've got the backs to hurt them."
Windsor however said Gethin Jenkins wouldn't have been his choice as Welsh captain and felt the Toulon loose-head needed to have a big game.
"He's got to be the first Welsh captain in history who can't get in his club side, isn't he?" Windsor said.
"I personally would have gone for Alun Wynn Jones, I think he's a fantastic player, a real leader.
"I think Gethin has a lot to prove to show he deserves his place ahead of Paul James, who I think is the guy in form.
"I think the English pack can be got at but he needs to focus on his job in the scrum first and not worry as much about things like his carrying. Do your job first and the other things will come."
And Windsor knows a thing or two about beating England.
The Iron Duke had a fantastic record against the men in white, winning four of the five tests he played against them and never tasting defeat to the English in Cardiff.
But he had the utmost respect for their forward power and spirit.
"People talk of English Oaks, don't they, and they really were. When we went out to South Africa for the Lions tour some of the Welsh boys were homesick before we even got off the plane but the English...Great spirit, they just get on with the work. Mike Burton for example, that's a guy you would go fighting tigers with.
"I always enjoyed playing the English. They were great battles."
His rallying cry to the Welsh team is: "Don't think about stopping Grand Slams. We're the Champions, go out there and stay champions."

Well the first leg of the Western States Triple crown kicked off this weekend. We had a record turn out with 284 paid shooters. It was a great event even though the weather really turned crummy on Sunday. Most of us weathered the storm and shot the entire course in a continuous rain. It was a struggle to keep dry but we all had fun. My Elite GT500 was working great but I had a few struggles with target panic. I had a good shoot and posted a score of 365. Picking up the slack was my fiance who managed to place fourth. This is only her third 3D shoot ever. Way to go Nicole!!!!!!
The next leg of the triple crown is April 10th down in Tucson, AZ. Hope to see you there.

A great hostel, safe and clean, and a short walk from the metro. Great staff, helpful, spoke English well. Free high speed wi-fi, lockers available, and a nice space. Unfortunately, a bit far from the center of Milan, and as the metro shuts down at midnight, not the ideal spot if the nightlife is one of your main activities. Milanese taxis are a bit expensive, bars close at 2, and the metro opens at 6. In all other regards, a great place to stay for a low cost. Michael, from USA ~ 29th Sep 2012
Average hostel which doesn't allow alcohol. Has almost no atmosphere and doubles as a residence for elderly people. A short walk to the metro but no where near walking distance to the main highlights of Milan. John, from Australia ~ 7th Aug 2012

Volunteers Needed to Help With the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Surveys
Vermont has been invaded by an insect called the hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA). This tiny insect is recognized by the white, fuzzy covering it hides under. This covering is rarely more than 1/16 of an inch in diameter and looks something like the end of a cotton swab attached to the underside of hemlock twigs. The covering, or ovisac, protects the adelgid and its eggs from predation and drying out. Hidden from view, adelgids feed on starch from the twigs, leading to decline and perhaps tree mortality. Hemlock trees are their only food and are threatened by this invasive insect.
Since the mild winter of 2011-2012, the infested area has expanded greatly. Hemlock woolly adelgid is known to be in Windham and Bennington County, but threatens hemlock throughout the state. The Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation is trying to better delineate the infestation. Volunteers are needed to help look for HWA. Training is available. .
Of special importance, 5 surveys need to be done in each of the towns adjoining infested towns. As of November 2012 these include: Bennington,Stamford, Woodford, Whitingham, Wilmington, Dover, Stratton, Winhall, Londonderry, Windham, Chester, Rockingham, Westminster, Athens and Brookline. It would be wonderful if a people would volunteer, one for each town to coordinate the work. Assistance and support for a town coordinator is available. A Blitz of Dover is planned to do all 5 sites on March 9. Home-made chili lunch will be supplied. See Events below for details.
If you do look for HWA while you are out in the woods, whether you found it or not, please let us know where you looked and when by filling in the site tracking form. See links below.
We still have another month or so of optimal viewing conditions. Once we get into April the ovisacs are still apparent, but we try to have most of our surveying done, because during that portion of the spring, the conditions for unintentionally spreading the adelgid intensify. The winter and spring generations overlap and all life stages are likely to be present, especially the eggs and crawlers, which have the best chance of spreading. We ask surveyors to be aware of this situation and to check your jackets and clothing and brush them off. I actually treat my outer clothing with a product that contains permetherin to kill any hitchhiking adelgids. It also protects from ticks and mosquitos. There are several brands available; they are designed to treat clothing, are safe to humans and last for several washings.
In addition to the needed survey work, volunteers can assist in several other important projects. Increasing public awareness is very important, especially in newly infested areas. Volunteers are needed to arrange presentations, set up public displays and educate groups that use the forest. Workshops for homeowners with infested trees can be offered to show people how to respond to HWA.
The Vermont Division of Forestry is starting a project to monitor the impact of HWA. Five study plots for this project need to be established this winter. Each plot would be a good one day project for one or two interested people.
Hemlock trees are an important part of Vermont's forest ecosystem, providing ecological, economic and aesthetic values. Citizen monitors play a key role in the effort to protect the hemlock resource.
If you're interested in being out in the woods and helping to keep the forest healthy, please contact Jim Esden for more information.

For me, the summer before I joined F&ES was crammed with work. As you likely know, I'm a joint student with Pace Law School. After finishing two years of law school, I immediately started an internship with the Department of Justice – U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, Civil Division – in Manhattan. The internship was incredible. I helped to write consent decrees for an old…
Greetings and salutations ones again, blog world! I'm back with, you guessed it, another recent FES alum doing something totally awesome. This time, I've got Margo Mosher, who works for a neat little sustainability think tank in NYC. During her time at FES, she spent a lot of time developing her vision for a perfect job and now she's got it. Dreams do come true!
We sent our students on a mission over spring break to capture some beautiful photos and representing F&ES with their gear. Check out the amazing submissions we received!
Our winner was Nicholas Goldstein, who captured this stunning picture of fellow classmate Kelly Stoner at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.

Nothing stops a show like an awesome OLED display. Samsung pulled out the stops at the FPD International 2008 Show. Alongside the floppy OLED screen we showed off yesterday, they rolled out a 40-inch OLED screen with specs that will make a videophile weak in the knees.
This is the biggest OLED that's been shown off, and it looks okay for a prototype. We trust it will only get better.
The specs follow.
The HD screen has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 with a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, a color gamut of 107% NTSC, a luminance of 200cd/m2 and it's only 8.9 mm thick.
If this is the direction in which OLED is heading, Samsung is taking it in the right direction. — Leslie Shapiro

Definition: Holding a grudge usually over something in the past.
Origins: The American origin is not too far from the phrase's definition. In the early 19th century, if someone was looking to fight, they would literally put a wood chip on their shoulder. They would then walk around with the "chip on their shoulder." If someone wanted to accept the challenge they would knock it off.
The Long Island Telegraph printed the following in 1830:
When two churlish boys were determined to fight, a chip would be placed on the shoulder of one, and the other demanded to knock it off at his peril.
While the phrase "chip on his shoulder" appears around 1855 in the Weekly Oregonian:
Leland, in his last issue, struts out with a chip on his shoulder, and dares Bush to knock it off.
However, in England this phrase has a different origins story. At the Royal Navy Dockyards, around the 18th century, it was customary for ship carpenters to take home a certain amount of timber offcuts. By the 1750′s, they were thought to have abused that right. A new rule was instituted that the offcuts had to be what one could carry under their arms instead of over their shoulders.

Hello My Darling [Linda],
Here I am setting down to write of my love for you and the horrors of war. Right now I'm pretending that I'm talking to you.
I can picture your face in front of me, and our home and our children. Oh! How much the things we take for granted can mean so much. The smell of cut grass, the wind blowing over the lake and making the trees and grass sway. The smell of autumn, the bareness of the world during winter. All of this means so much. and how little it is appreciated.
In the mornings I put on my fighting gear; web belt with ammo pouches, hand grenades, smoke grenades, first-aid pouch and canteen. Then I put two bandoliers of ammo around my neck so that it crosses my chest.
Then comes my pack containing poncho, poncho liner, five C-ration meals, rain jacket, sweater shirt, extra canteen, extra ammo, gun-cleaning kit, extra smoke grenade, an extra bolt for my rifle, a camera and some cigarettes. Then I pick up my weapon and put on my helmet. With that on, I call my squad leaders and explain what my plan for the day is, based on what the captain passed down to me. Mud, I never knew how much mud I could hate. We live in mud and rain. I'm so sick of rain that it is sometimes unbearable. At night the mosquitoes plague me while I'm lying on the ground with my poncho wrapped around me. The rain drips on me until I go to sleep from exhaustion.
This continues day after day until one wonders how much the human body can stand. . . . And yet it is my job, and I do it willingly, knowing that war is a constant factor in this world and has been since the beginning of man. There is something that keeps us fighting past the time when we feel like quitting.
We go in tomorrow, for sure. Everyone's morale is high, including mine. I'm looking forward to getting clean and relaxing Most of my men will be drunk as lords by tomorrow night.
There should be some mail for me. I surely hope so. Letters mean a lot.
You know something honey? I love you lots and lots. Only you know how much.
I'll write when we get in.
With all my love,
Fred2Lt. Frederick Downs, Jr., from Kingman, Indiana, was a platoon leader assigned to Company D, 1st Battalion, 14th Infantry, 4th Infantry Division, operating out of Duc Pho, from August 1967 until January 1968, when he was wounded in action. Linda was his wife.

Oregon has the most ghost towns than any other U.S. state. There are over 60 ghost towns in Oregon from abandoned logging camps to deserted gold mining towns. It's hard to find a definitive number of how many towns there are because the state of remaining buildings and debris, if there are any, vary greatly. Some sources state there are over hundreds in Oregon (see comment section below). Some of the ghost towns have no current residents while others still have a few dozen citizens left.

At about 3:15 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon, Warden James A. Johnston received a call. "There's some trouble in the cell house. I don't know what it is, but I think it's bad." For the next two days, from May 2-4, 1946, a "battle" raged in one of the country's most notorious prisons – Alcatraz. At a time when prison attempts were common, the Battle of Alcatraz was one of the most violent attempts the penitentiary had seen. It resulted in the deaths of two guards and three inmates while eighteen more guards and one non-participating inmate were injured.
History of Alcatraz Island
Before becoming a maximum high-security federal prison, Alcatraz Island was home to the Ohlone people who inhabited central and northern California coastal regions. President Millard Fillmore declared Alcatraz a military reservation in 1850. Within ten years, troops were permanently stationed at the island's post to defend the Bay Area with about 100 cannons.
The Civil War brought a new role for Alcatraz. California was a Union state and the island was tasked with defending the state against any possible Confederate hostiles. It also held Southern sympathizers and supporters. On June 5, 1873, Alcatraz became home to the first of many American Indian prisoners. During World War I, conscientious objectors were sent there as well.
From 1934 to 1963, Alcatraz earned its reputation as the home of the country's toughest and most dangerous felons. The Army gave Alcatraz to the U.S. Justice Department the year before. A wave of crime hit the country during the Great Depression and post-Prohibition years. Other prisons were finding it difficult to handle extremely dangerous felons. The Justice Department decided to turn Alcatraz into a maximum security federal prison. The fact that it was an island made escape attempts more difficult. Around 260 to 275 prisoners were held at Alcatraz at any given time including Al Capone, George "Machine Gun" Kelly, Alvin "Creepy" Karpis and Robert "Birdman of Alcatraz" Stoud.
In the 29 years Alcatraz served as a penitentiary a total of 38 prisoners made 14 escape attempts. The majority – 23 men – were caught before escaping the island, 6 others were shot and killed and 2 drowned. Although Alcatraz claimed that no prisoner had ever successfully escaped, 5 were never found and presumed drowned. Of all the escape attempts, the Battle of Alcatraz is still considered the bloodiest.
Battle of Alcatraz's Hostile Inmates
Bernard Paul Coy, 46 – Wielding a sawed-off shotgun, Coy robbed a Kentucky bank and earned him a twenty-six year prison sentence. He first served time at Atlanta before being transferred to Alcatraz in 1938. During his stay at The Rock, he worked as a cell-house orderly. With this position, he had access through most of the prison's main cell-block Coy was considered the main ringleader during the Battle of Alcatraz.
Marvin Franklin Hubbard, 34 – In August 1942, Hubbard pled guilty to kidnapping a Chattanooga police officer and transporting him across state lines as well as stealing a Tommy gun, two revolvers and an automobile. On September 11, 1942, he escaped from the county jail in Knoxville. Like Coy, Hubbard also spent time in Atlanta. After participating in a mutiny, he was sent to Alcatraz on November 28, 1944.
Joseph Paul Cretzer, 35 – In and out of prison since 1927, Cretzer was one-half of the Cretzer-Kyle Gang. Robbing banks up and down the west coast, Cretzer was soon being pursued by the FBI. He was apprehended in Chicago and sent to McNeil Island in February 1940. Within two months, Cretzer escaped. His newly "found" freedom lasted three days and, initially, five additional years were added to his imprisonment. However during his retrial, Cretzer attempted to escape again and assaulted a U.S. Marshal who later died. In August 1940, Cretzer was sent to Alcatraz with a life sentence. While at the prison, he attempted yet another escape in May 1941 (along with Sam Shockley and two others). Their attempt failed and Cretzer was sent to D Block – the prison's high security unit – for five years.
Sam Shockley, 36 – After robbing a Paoli, Oklamona bank in March 1938, Shockley kidnapped the bank's president and his wife. They were released unharmed but Shockley fled. He was later captured by a county posse after raiding a farmhouse looking for food. First incarcerated at Leavenworth, Shockley was examined by prison psychiatrists who found that his IQ was a low 54. They also found that he was unstable and thus prone to violence. He was transferred to Alcatraz because it had a stricter routine that could manage Shockley's potential rages. Shockley spent most of his time in the isolation unit because the prison felt that he was uncontrollable. He attempted to escape with Cretzer in May 1941.
Miran Edgar Thompson, 29 – An escape artist, Thompson had been arrested eight times and, while being held in smaller jails, escape every time before arriving at Alcatraz in October 1945. He was serving a 99-year term for kidnapping and a life sentence for murdering an Amarillo, Texas police officer. He also committed armed robberies around the Midwest and Southwest states.
Clarence Carne, 19 – Also known as the Choctaw Kid, his life a crime reportedly started at the age of 8 when he stole candy bars at school. In 1943, he was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to murdering an Oklahoma service station attendant during a holdup. Carne was 16. Two years later, he escaped from a state reformatory and commandeered a truck with an elderly couple in it. He was captured. Kidnapping and escape charges were added to his sentence, bringing it up to 99 years. After having problems at Leavenworth, Carne was transferred to Alcatraz in late 1945. At 18 years of age, he was the youngest man ever admitted to the famous island prison.
Prisoner Takeover
On a Thursday afternoon around 2 p.m., hell broke out at Alcatraz. In the months leading up to the incident, Bernard Coy used his highly desired job as a maintenance man to figure out the guard routine and possible escape areas. He found five other accomplices. On May 2, 1946, Coy put his plan into action.
After lunch most prisoners and guards were in workshops outside the prison. Accomplice Marvin Hubbard, a kitchen orderly, told guard William Miller he had finished his job. Coy was sweeping the floor as Miller frisked Hubbard. Coy attacked Miller from behind and both inmates overpowered the guard.
Coy rubbed grease over his body and scaled the barred cage up to the West End Gun Gallery while Joseph Cretzer acted as lookout below. Once Coy reached the top he used a makeshift bar spreader and pried open the bars enough, to nearly 10 inches in width, and squeezed his body through. It is thought that leading up to the event, Coy greatly limited his food intake to reduce his weight and body mass.
After securing a riot club, Coy hunched down next to a door. The other men lured out another officer and Coy attacked and bound him. Taking the officer's keys, Coy kept the gun gallery's Springfield rifle and lowered a M1911 pistol, clubs and gas grenades to the inmates below.
Coy entered D Block, which held isolated prisoners, and forced another guard to open the adjoining door into C Block to let Cretzer and Hubbard in. Then they released around a dozen other inmates including three other collaborators – Clarence Carnes, Sam Shockley and Miran Thompson – from their cells. According to reports, the other released prisoners smartly returned to their cells.
Escape Attempt
The armed convicts locked nine unarmed guards, some hurt, into cells #404 and #403. The plan revolved around getting access to the recreation yard. However, Coy could not find the key to the massive metal door that led to the yard. When officer Miller was first assaulted, he surrendered almost all his key except the yard one – the most critical one. After he was thrown in the cell, he put the key in the cell's toilet.
Meanwhile, the rest of the prison caught onto the ruckus in C Block when the guards did not report in. The first few guards that went by the area on their patrol were also taken as hostages. At around 3:15 p.m. Coy began shooting at the watchtowers. Gun fire was reportedly heard by San Francisco residents and Golden Gate Bridge passengers. Alcatraz's alarms began to sound. Unknown to the prisoners at the time, their plan had already failed.
Knowing their plan was failing, Shockley and Thompson were worried that the guards would identify them so they urged Cretzer, one of the only inmates armed with a gun, to kill them. Reportedly, Carnes left the group and went back to his cell around this time. Cretzer unloaded rounds into one of the hostage cells. The inmates walked away without checking to see if the guards were injured or killed. Many of the guards were injured, some critically. Officer Ernest Lageson took a shot to the face but wrote the names of the conspirators on the wall with a circle around the ringleaders. He feared they would all die.
The inmates decided they were not going down without a fight. And a fight they got.
Battle on The Rock
Alcatraz Warden James A. Johnston sent word at 3:17 p.m. that there is "serious trouble" but does not know the extent of it. Emergency calls were made to the Coast Guard, San Francisco Police, Navy and the Marines stationed nearby. Off-duty correctional officers were called in to help take back the cellhouse. The inmates who were working in the workshops during the takeover were assembled in the recreation yard with blankets and pillows.
Lt. Phil Bergen was tasked with leading the first team into the cellhouse though the West End Gun Gallery to rescue the captive guards. After exchanging gunfire with the inmates, the team retreated. Three officers were hit during the assault. One officer, Harold Stites, was killed. He was the first casualty of the Battle of Alcatraz.
A little after 10 p.m., another team of fourteen officers burst into the cellhouse to rescue the hostages. The inmates laid out heavy gunfire, forcing the team to retreat again. Before they fully retreated, they were able to close the D Block access door. Shockley and Thompson realized their chances of escaping were slim to none and returned to their cells.
For a while all that could be heard in Alcatraz was the random exchange of gunfire. The Marines, unsure who is doing all the shooting, start bombing D Block and filling it with smoke. They also drilled holes in the ceiling and lowered hand grenades. Coy, Cretzer, and Hubbard retreated to a utility corridor. Around 500 hand grenades were used during the Battle of Alcatraz.
Nearly 48 hours after it started, gunfire ceased.
Coy, Cretzer and Hubbard were killed from bullet wounds and shrapnel in a corridor about two and a half feet wide. Coy, wearing a guard's coat, was found died with the rifle beside him. Cretzer was killed a few feet away with a pistol within arm's reach and the keys in his pocket. Both Coy and Cretzer died late Friday night with Coy dying first. Hubbard was found away from the other two and was believed to be the last to die sometime Saturday morning.
Two guards were killed during the battle. Stites was killed as part of the rescue team sent in to regain control of the cellhouse. The first guard attacked, William Miller, also died due to the injuries he sustained. He was also the one who hid the recreational yard key that prevented the convicts from escaping. Eighteen other guards were injured as well as non-participating inmate.
The injured guards pointed out Shockley, Thompson and Carnes as conspirators. Shockley and Thompson stood trial for their role in the killing of Miller. They both received the death penalty. On December 3, 1948, Shockley and Thompson were executed sitting side-by-side in the gas chamber at San Quentin. Several other inmates were thought to have been involved but there was not enough evidence. Carne received an additional 99-year sentence. He did not receive the death penalty because guards testified that Carne was ordered to kill several guards but refused and left.
Blame for the escape attempt fell on the two guards for allowing themselves to be overcome by the convicts and Warden Johnston for lack of management. He was replaced in 1948 by Edwin Swope – whose seven-year term saw no escape attempts.
Grenade marks are still visible on the floor of Alcatraz as are legends of the prison's illustrious prisoners. The Battle of Alcatraz is considered one of the most significant events in the prison's history.

It's no secret that The Recommender is a massive supporter of the Manchester-based quartet, Everything Everything. They earned the accolade of Track of the Year 2010, with Suffragette Suffragette in December, as well as grabbing a top five position in our Albums of 2010, with their début Man Alive.
The album was subsequently toured around the UK, to much acclaim, before they repeated the circuit on board the NME tour bus. They now stand at the foot of Festival Mountain, as another (rainy) British summer brings us an endless run of field-based frivolity. As you can see below, they're hitting plenty of the major festivals, including a selection from around Europe, but they start with the big daddy – Glastonbury.
Prior to this tour of rural performances they're setting up a couple of festival warm-up gigs. We're lucky enough in Brighton to get the first of these preparation shows at the Concorde 2 venue on Friday (24th June). We've been reliably informed that the band have also been working on their second album, so we hope to witness the possible first outings of some new material, alongside the début's big hitters.
It will be particularly interesting to see if there are any signs of life after their promising beginnings. We had an exceptional amount of talent, skill and originality on show with the first album, so the future looks bright, but it's also worth noting that they weren't burnt out with over-saturated hype, which is so commonplace in today's music media. It's signs like these that suggest this band could slowly grow into one the UK's biggest and best. Could this be a band that headlines one of these festival stages in the future? (MB)

Excellent. I have been looking for a Lexington AGOT group. I live in Richmond but I am in Lexington at least once a week. Now to figure out how to get there...
You're a great friend, but if zombies are chasing us... I'm tripping you.
How to get there? You trying to find the gaming store or a ride? When are you in town .... we should make some games happen.
I've played with Mr. ZombiePrime a couple times now, so he knows where the store is and can get here. :)
You should join us sometime!
Without Signature
The Kentucky Khalasar is growing nicely but more people is always welcome. Right now we are playing pretty consistantly on Thursdays around 5 or 6 pm at Amazing Wonders in Lexington, Ky. Come and join us.
You're a great friend, but if zombies are chasing us... I'm tripping you.
I live in Louisville and we have 6-7 players. Of course we just started playing and most of us trying to avoid spoilers. We currently play at Comic Book World and will soon be getting a league kit. We should most certainly try and get everyone together for a night of AGOT.
The things I do for love.
Happy to see some other GoT players in Louisville. There's also a new Warhammer Invasion group that's also interested in AGoT as well. Other games are also being played and we'd be happy to get together sometime. Regular meetups are every Friday evening at Bluegrass Magic Game Shop and a monthly at Pet Shop Comics. We can more easily be reached at:

LOWELL -- City Councilor and former Mayor Rita Mercier, one of the city's most prominent Democrats, endorsed Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown Friday morning in his quest to defeat Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren.
Standing outside the Lowell Senior Center with Brown and his wife Gail Huff by her side, Mercier said even though she is a life-long Democrat, she thinks Brown is the most qualified candidate in the Senate race.
Mercier said she admires how Brown is able to work across party lines in the Senate to do what he thinks is best for both the state and Lowell.
"Having observed you for two-and-a-half years, you are that person of integrity, you cross party lines, you know that if some one is a Democrat and they have a good idea, you will support that," Mercier said. "I tremendously respect that and that is why I'm standing here today."
Brown thanked
"I've been doing exactly what I said I would do, working with people on both sides of the aisle at a time when we need that sort of thing," Brown said.
The senator also said he hopes to win Lowell again on election day and will continue to focus on the fourth-largest community in the commonwealth.

Anyone know apartments that rent month-to-month or on a 3 month lease? (self.Knoxville)
submitted 5 months ago by AnimalFarmPig
I live in Nashville, but I'm working on a project in Knoxville, and I'm getting really sick of staying in hotels. I'm thinking it would be much nicer to rent an apartment. The project should take me about 3 months to wrap up.
Can anyone recommend apartments that rent month-to-month or offer 3 month terms?
The rental cost won't be coming out of my pocket, but I have to justify my expenses, and I like to come under budget. I'm tentatively budgeting around $600/mo.
I'd prefer not to live near bars, music, and nightlife. I prefer boring, generic suburbia where you don't know your neighbors and need a car to go anywhere. Close to a highway and a supermarket would be great.
[–]the_soft_machine 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
what sort of project are you working on?
[–]AnimalFarmPig[S] 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
I'll be finding a place for and setting up an office/warehouse, doing some employee training, and just making sure that everything goes smooth with opening a new branch.
[–]hardknoxpits 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Look on craigslist for a sublet
Also there are extended living places out west near cedar bluff.
[–]AnimalFarmPig[S] 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
I've been staying at an Extended Stay near Cedar Bluff, but it's kind of expensive. Renting for a month comes to around $1500/mo after taxes. It's better than a typical hotel, but it's still just a small room with a tiny kitchen attached. If I wanted to spend that much, there is executive/corporate/mistress housing in that price range that is quite nice.
Even with a nice hotel, there's the difference between going back to a hotel room at the end of the day and going back to a "home"-- even if it's a temporary home.
I do agree with you, have you tried corporate housing? There are companies who specialize in what you need. I am sent to Chicago for my work for 3-6 months at a time, and I am always placed into a townhouse or something of the sorts and my work pays monthly for it. http://www.knoxcorporateapts.com/temporary-housing-knoxville.asp
this might be the place to start.
I've never actually tried the places that cater to corporate customers. I guess it's worth a shot. Thanks!
Report back let us know how it goes. If it works out well for you, maybe we can use it at my corporation when employees come in from out of town. Right now we are just putting them up in hotels for months at a time kind of like you have been doing.
[–]absinthevisions 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Check craigslist for a sublet or for a room to rent. Most of the month to month/weekly rent places are pretty much just hotels and are generally not very nice places.
Yeah, some hotels and not nice places come up when looking for short term places to live. The tip-off is usually if they offer weekly rates. It's bee a while, but I've rented places month-to-month in the past that were excellent, normal apartments in normal apartment complexes. It just takes a lot of phone calling and asking about lease terms. It would be really nice if anyone in /r/knoxville has some experience with any places good or bad. It could save some search time.
I really don't want to live in a shared apartment or house. I have the deal with people all day at work; I don't want to have to do it during my off time as well.
[–]littlekittycat 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Amberleigh Bluff off cedar bluff rents month to month and will furnish, I don't know what thy run though.
Awesome! That complex hadn't come up on any searching I've done yet. It looks like 1BR is around $800/mo, and it looks like they also have one ready to rent. I'll definitely stop by this week. Thank you very much!
[–]Vincent93 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Haha make sure you refer him so he can get his ~$400!
[–]ccraig9 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago
Kingston Manor rents month to month, I believe. It's not quite suburbia, but it's near Kroger, Fresh Market, and Earthfare.
There's no website for it, but here's the number: 865-219-9000 It's a Bob Monday Property.
It's on Kingston Pike at Noelton.

[–]Sad_sister 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Warren House just off of Cedar Bluff also does month-to-month, and they have furnished apts. They aren't the best, but it's close by everything (including the interstate), and if I remember right, my mom rented one (on 2 separate occasions) that was 2 bedrooms and furnished for around $600.

Research Shapes the Future
The Technische Universiät Berlin with its seven faculties is an internationally renowned research university with a rich tradition. We conduct basic and applied research at the highest international level. Our researchers regularly receive prestigious science awards and are highly successful in the acquisition of third-party funding. In the context of Excellence Initiative projects, other national and international funding programs and collaborations with industrial partners, funds amounting to almost 160 million Euro were spent in the year 2011.
Als Teil der hochkarätigen Wissenschaftslandschaft in Berlin und Brandenburg haben wir innerhalb der TU Berlin sechs Forschungsschwerpunkte und Kompetenzen definiert, die sowohl unsere Innovationsstärke aufzeigen als auch die gesellschaftliche Verpflichtung der TU Berlin widerspiegeln.
As a part of the outstanding research environment in Berlin and Brandenburg we have defined six key application areas and competencies for the TU Berlin. They reflect our innovative strength as well as our societal responsibility.
Remarkable synergy effects have been achieved through strategic collaboration with non-university research institutes within the Fraunhofer Society and Max Planck Society, the Helmholtz Association and the Leibniz Association. Currently, approximately 60 outstanding researchers hold joint professorships combining their research in their respective disciplines at the TU Berlin with the work at external research institutes.
Utilizing synergy and promoting the transfer of knowledge and technology – this is the motto behind our successful strategic collaboration with international enterprises. At the so-called "An-Institute" (or on location institutes) such as the Telekom Research Laboratories or the Daimler Center for Automotive Information Technology Innovations (DCAITI), academic and industrial research are combined in an intelligent manner. Furthermore, the TU Berlin has currently established 21 endowed professorships (as of January 2011) with international commercial enterprises such as Siemens AG, or through cooperative associations with small and medium-sized enterprises. At the regional level as well, the TU Berlin intensifies the transfer of expertise and technology through the consistent support of start-ups, thereby contributing to cooperation beyond disciplinary and institutional boundaries as part of the brand "Campus Charlottenburg- the art of ideas".
The "Hybrid Plattform" is the joint teaching platform and project laboratory on Campus Charlottenburg. It offers space for experiments in inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration and invites researchers to explore new perspectives on their work. Such cooperation allows for finding new solutions by thinking "outside the box". It has the potential to better meet the challenges facing our societies and is often highly attractive for business and industry.
Research for Innovation is a trademark for the TU Berlin which is tested in the most convincing fashion through the participation in two of the three European Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs). As part of the network of the European Institute for Innovation and Technology our researchers work towards innovations in the clusters "Climate Change: Mitigation and Adaption" as well as "Future Information and Communication Society" to ensure a sustainable development.
Academia needs fresh ideas and the TU Berlin supports successful academic careers from its early studies program for inquisitive schoolchildren through their studies and doctoral work to the postdoctoral-phase. In this context, we place greatest possible significance on diversity. As regards doctoral studies, this ranges from being employed as research fellow at a Chair to the cooperative supervision in doctoral programs to external doctoral projects in cooperation with industry. At the postdoctoral stage, independent research projects, research groups of junior researchers and junior professorships are the main focus. In this way, a leading position is ensured for the TU Berlin within the national and international research community.
