Talking Points Memo & Top Story
John McCain and conservative angst
"Right wing commentators like Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter are angry that Senator John McCain has become the front-runner for the Republican nomination. They believe he is simply unacceptable. The McCain campaign understands that angst, but feels it can make up for lost conservative votes with independents and Hispanic Americans. The irony here is that the American Conservative Union gives McCain a lifetime grade of 83%. By contrast, Hillary Clinton gets 9%, and Barack Obama is the nation's most liberal senator, according to the National Journal. So if he wins, Senator McCain will be facing a person who is far more liberal than he is. With Rudy Giuliani now supporting McCain, and Governor Huckabee draining support from Governor Romney, there's a chance the senator could wrap up the nomination by next Wednesday morning. In the end, the Republican Party will rally around their nominee, but some conservatives will sit things out. As is their right, no pun intended."
For more insight into right-wing objections to McCain,
The Factor
interrogated two leading conservatives, beginning with former Republican Senator Rick Santorum. "You never knew issue-to-issue," Santorum complained, "where John McCain was going to be. It's that lack of any core set of principles that make conservatives disconcerted." But radio host Monica Crowley defended McCain's record and electability. "I'm one of the few conservative talk show hosts who actually likes John McCain. He's bad on illegal immigration, bad on campaign finance reform, but John McCain has had a long conservative record of backing tax cuts and being a deficit hawk. And he has been consistently pro-life."
The Factor
reminded everyone that McCain is a tough terror warrior. "He was one of the few who stood very firm on Iraq, and that was a conservative cause. For him to take a stand on Iraq tells me he was not a waffler. But there's real hatred on the right of McCain, and I think it's driven by immigration."

Impact Segment
Latest poll results for Super Tuesday states
The Factor
welcomed Tom Bevan of Real Clear Politics, who analyzed the latest polls in advance of Super Tuesday. "The real key for John McCain," Bevan asserted, "is that Rudy Giuliani's dropping out opens up the northeast to him, where there are 201 delegates at stake. McCain has the inside track." Turning to the Democrats, Bevan suggested that Barack Obama's momentum continues. "We're just getting a glimpse of the first post-South Carolina polls and things look pretty good for Obama. He's leading in polls in Georgia and Alabama, and he's close in California. Combined with the $32 million he raised in January, the Obama folks have to feel good about where they are."
The Factor
predicted the Obama-Clinton duel will continue past next week. "I think that by Wednesday you won't have a Democratic nominee, but you could have a Republican nominee.

Factor Investigation Segment
What happened to the border fence?
It's been 15 months since President Bush authorized construction of the southern border fence, but progress has been extremely slow. Homeland Security boss Michael Chertoff entered the No Spin Zone and defended his agency's performance. "The process of building a fence requires that you acquire the land, grade it, survey it, then you have to drop in the pilings and the fences. We're in court in Texas because there are a lot of land owners who won't even get us access to the land on the border. But by the end of this year we will have 670 miles of barriers, which is a pretty fair chunk of territory."
The Factor
praised Chertoff for answering tough questions, and urged him to speed up the process. "It seems that the federal government should at least put up temporary barriers, something that makes it more difficult to access this country."
Factor Follow Up Segment
Growing schism between left & far-left?
Some leftists have been viciously attacking Bill Clinton, while a host on Air America actually accused Republicans of hating women and blacks, adding "they hate everybody." Professor and author Jeffrey McCall bemoaned the lack of civil discourse. "This kind of discussion is really not productive, it's polarizing. But the good news is that the ratings numbers for most of these kinds of programs are not very good. I would like to think the nation's citizenry has turned its back on this kind of communication."
The Factor
described the perils of the brave new media world. "There are haters on both sides, and when you combine this with the Internet it starts to take on a life of its own. You can attack and try to destroy your opposition, and there's almost a gleefulness about it."

Weekdays with Bernie & Jane Segment
Still no answers in death of Heath Ledger
FNC media analysts Bernie Goldberg and Jane Hall began with the revelation that a CBS program called "The Insider" purchased video of Heath Ledger talking about his drug use, then decided against airing the tape. "This is an important point," Goldberg declared. "This wasn't going to run on some dingy place on the Internet. This was going to run on a show owned by CBS. Sleaze starts at the top, and the sleaze merchants aren't just the paparazzi - they're also guys who wear Armani suits and make tens of millions of dollars." Turning to politics,
The Factor
asked whether Barack Obama has been receiving adoring coverage by the mainstream media. "Journalists are excited about him," Hall responded. "They like the idea that he's inheriting a mythic mantle that Ted Kennedy attempted to pass to him. The excitement is real, and journalists are not automatons." But Goldberg accused many reporters of allowing affection to cloud their news judgment. "The problem is with reporters who have fallen in love with this guy. They're calling him the 'son of Camelot,' and this is hero-worship masquerading as journalism. They would never treat a conservative the same way."

LinkedIn to buy Bizo in effort to beef up ad business
The acquisition, valued around $175 million, brings new advertising technology that focuses on business users.
LinkedIn said Tuesday it has agreed to purchase Bizo, a business marketing company, to bolster its advertising offerings.
In a statement, LinkedIn said it will pay about $175 million for Bizo, a company that makes technology for display and social advertising focused on business customers. The company boasts "proprietary" data management and targeting technology, Linkedin said.
LinkedIn said the company's technology will help to bolster its existing advertising division, which pulled in $101.8 million under its "marketing solutions" group last quarter. The deal will be 90 percent cash, LinkedIn said, and should close in the third quarter.
The move is the latest among social-media companies, which have been increasingly focusing their efforts on advertising. Twitter in June said it agreed to buy TapCommerce, a mobile-advertising technology firm, and has been expanding the ability for companies to sell products within tweets. Facebook as well has expanded advertising options for mobile app developers. And Pinterest has begun offering advertisers the ability to promote content on its site as well.

How to avoid post-holiday carnage.
We all know what the holidays mean for email marketers. Late nights, big revenue, and insane frequency. Is it even possible to send 27 emails in 11 days? Big retailers will find out this holiday season, rest assured. When the majority of your revenue comes in eight weeks, all rules get thrown out the window to ensure it's a successful season. And this spills over to the digital channel. Here are five tips to ensure success on the email front and prevent your program from becoming post-holiday carnage left for dead.
1. Manage expectations. This goes to both internal teams and your subscribers. To me this is crucial. Any CMO should know the long-term impact versus short-term gain when ramping up email frequency. Educated decisions are always better than blind ones and this impacts many loyal and valuable customers too. If they know they will get an email a day with an exclusive offer, they may stay on the list. What about the same offer 10 days in a row like many retailers send? Kick off your holiday season with an email that outlines the schedule and benefits. Even better, give them the choice to opt down, meaning they can just get a weekly or monthly email or even pause their subscription if they have no intent on making a holiday purchase from your brand. In most circumstances, this is much better than an unsubscribe.
2. Have awesome subject lines. This is an email bread-and-butter type of tactic, yet most of us write subject lines in the 11th hour. If I ran email for a big box chain or department store that depends on a huge Q4, I would have been using the first nine months of the year as an idea proving ground. Guess what moves the needle? Subject lines, so I hope most retailers have a proven list of dozens of possible subject lines to use based on offer and response metrics.
3. Acquire subscribers. While I know email often isn't included in the offline media huddle, social media will get a big push and email will likely be ignored. Again. However, email will be driving 2011 and 2012 holiday sales. So make the effort to build for the future and acquire email addresses by including tags in print ads, in-store efforts, and of course, social media. Want to find a low-hanging fruit? Use Foursquare to drive your in-store customers to email (you can find out how to do this here).
4. Don't just include social; be social. Buttons won't drive sales or build engagement. Let email subscribers see what people are chatting about on Facebook or Twitter or view product videos that fans have created. Give them a taste and demonstrate the value of becoming an email subscriber on these other channels too.
5. Develop killer multi-platform creative. Good creative can (but certainly not always) balance out weak or repeated offers or get the unengaged browsing. This holiday season should find mall dwellers walking around with their phones looking at their inbox offers. A clunky email that doesn't render well on smartphones may prevent potential customers from redeeming that offer while they are within feet of your store! That doesn't sound like a good conversion tactic, right? How can any digital marketer with brick-and-mortar locations not have mobile-optimized emails? Or if you want to control operational issues and consumer behavior (like mobile coupon redemption), ensure the mobile version guides them to this desired action (like the email below from restaurant chain FATZ).
What would you add to the list? Will email influence your consumer behavior this holiday season?

Every two-term president since the 22nd Amendment was ratified in 1951 has faced being a lame-duck upon his re-election. Barack Obama clearly is no exception. With approximately 28 months left in his presidency, the clock is running out as he seeks to achieve a favorable legacy.

Our topic for today is state tourism slogans.
Perhaps that's not what you had in mind. Perhaps you are from North Dakota ("Legendary") or North Carolina ("Beauty Amplified") and are already so self-satisfied you see no reason to worry about the subject at all.
"Some of you may feel that the cormorant does not play an important part in the life of the school, but I would remind you that it was presented to us by the corporation of the Town of Sudbury to commemorate Empire Day, when we try to remember the names of all those from the Sudbury area who so gallantly gave their lives to keep China British." -- from Monty Python's, "The Meaning of Life"
Where's Charles Dickens when we need him? The novelist, who laid bare the shame of gross income inequality in 19th century England, came up with some perfect names for his more despicable characters, including Scrooge, Mr. Tulkinghorn, and Miss Havisham.
So I'm wondering what moniker Dickens would've given to Robert Marcus.
How did your state mark the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court's ruling that gave women the right to keep Big Government out of their uteruses?
"I do not believe that human activity is causing these dramatic changes to our climate the way these scientists are portraying it," said Sen. Marco Rubio.
Thus did the Florida Republican undermine his other assertion, to ABC's Jonathan Karl: that he is prepared to be president.
My friends from outside of Los Angeles are horrified. "Donald Sterling is a pig?" they say with surprise. "A racist, ignorant, loud-mouthed fool?" And Jewish, to boot. This is not, my mother would have said, good for the Jews.
No one I know who lives here is shocked at the news. I don't even think of him as Jewish. I think of him as Donald Sterling, the guy who used to crowd the front section of the newspaper with full-size ads praising himself for being honored by his own charities.
The new comedy show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver included a well-deserved riff on the food industry in its first episode. Oliver, who you might know from his work on Comedy Central's fake news program, The Daily Show, went after two well-deserved targets: Pom Wonderful pomegranate juice and Coca-Cola.
He refers to a court case in which Pom Wonderful took on Coca-Cola for its Pomegranate Blueberry Minute Maid drink that is made of 99 percent apple and grape juice.
The language commonly used to describe the battle going on inside the Republican Party is wrong and misleading. The fights this spring are not between "the grass roots" and "the establishment," but between two establishment factions spending vast sums to gain the upper hand.
With political indicators and historical cycles in their favor, Republicans are pushing the envelope to further energize their base with a full assault on the head of the opposition.
Parties that don't control the White House invariably gain in midterm elections. But the anti-Clinton drive energized Democrats. That year, Republicans failed to gain congressional seats in a midterm for the first time since 1934 and for the first time in a president's second term since 1822.

Airport Security
Aviation security requirements brought in in 2014 mean that liquids are now screened in many airports throughout Europe, North America and Australia. The SORS technology used in Cobalt Light's products has proven extremely effective for the screening of liquids. Cobalt produces the leading range of products that can detect threat items in a wide range of containers.
The Cobalt Insight100 range has been specially developed for table-top screening at security checkpoints. Insight100 systems use patented SORS technology for rapid and accurate chemical analysis of substances in unopened non-metallic containers. Cobalt's unique systems screen liquids, powders and gels with the highest detection capability and lowest false alarm rates of any ECAC-approved scanner, with several hundred units already in use at airports.
Other Security Applications
Cobalt's ability to identify materials through containers has several applications in other areas of security use. Potential uses include the detection of narcotics, explosives, precursors and toxic chemicals as well as identifying counterfeit products with a wide range of potential users.

Editor's note: Below are two emails from Mike Luzia, an English teacher in Onagawa, Japan who experienced the earthquake and tsunami that destroyed Onagawa. Luzia was in email contact with Glenn Hicks news director at Mountain FM, a local radio station.
For background on Nelson's connection with Onagawa, read this story. There are several origami crane folding sessions happening in Nelson. See the Events Calendar for dates, times and locations.
To find just the origami events, look in the upper-right hand corner for the word "Keyword Filter." Click that button and then look for the word "origami." Click the box beside that word and then click the "Filter" button. The calendar will then show you all the origami events listed so far.
First off, I can say that while I haven't personally seen the faces of every student who went to Nelson, I have confirmed that they are all safe. There are 3 elementary schools and 2 high schools in Onagawa, and they are all built in high areas, beyond the reach of the tsunami. As the earthquake hit around 2:40 pm on Friday, and the tsunami came 30-40 mins later, they were at school at the time.
As for the residents of Onagawa, of the 10,000, there are still over 5,000 unnacounted for. It's terrible. There is literally nothing left of Onagawa. While the Nelson homestay kids are accounted for, many of them still have no idea of the whereabouts of their parents/family.
At the time of the earthquake, I was teaching at Izushima, a small island in Onagawa. There is a combined junior high school and elementary there. The elementary school has 17 students, and the junior high has 11. One of the junior high students went to Nelson last year, Tomihiro "Tommy" Abe. The island has a population of 600, separated into two small towns on the coast of the island.
When the earthquake hit, I was in the staff room with the teachers. We ran to get the students and get them outside. The earthquake shook for a full 5 minutes. The shaking was so strong that it was hard to stand. We waited out in the open, on the school soccer field/track. Small cracks started to open in the ground… we moved the students away from the cracked areas and continued to wait.
Finally the shaking stopped. The kids all just had track suits on, and it was starting to snow. Aftershocks continued, about one every minute for 10 seconds or so, some strong, some weak. The wind was starting to pick up and the kids were freezing so 2 of the teachers ran back into the school to grab the kids jackets. We continued to wait, as going back inside wasn't safe yet.
After about 40 minutes (aftershocks still continuing) of waiting in the snow, a truck with some of the town residents came to the school. They said the tsunami had hit, and there was nothing left of the town. The school is situated on the highest point of the island, surrounded by trees, so we had no idea. We had to get the kids out of the cold so we moved them into the school gym, and told them to be ready to run. Town residents started coming in, everyone gathering in the gym. The school is the official evacuation center of the island, so there were some emergency supplies for us to use, but not nearly enough blankets.
After an hour or so we knew we were going to be staying in the gym overnight, so we sent the junior high kids and some teachers to go gather wood to make fires. By nightfall there were over 100 town residents in the gym. It snowed about 10 cm that night, and we had no heat in the gym. The food was some rice left over from the school lunch, and it wasn't enough, so only the children and some old people got to eat. It was too cold for most of us to sleep that night.
The principal of the school tried to use the emergency satellite phone to contact people all night, but no luck. The next day, he managed to contact the board of education in Sendai, and relayed information about the situation on Izushima.
I tried to keep the children busy that day gathering/cutting wood. Most of them had no idea where their parents/family were. We wrote SOS – need food/water on the soccer field.
Around 11 am, some of the volunteer firefighters of the island started to gather the bodies, and asked for help. I volunteered, as there was zero chance for me to find a family member. We laid out tarps and put the bodies in the science room of the school. We gathered around 60.
Evacuation and food at last
Around 12:30 pm, a search/rescue helicopter landed, and told us all we had to evacuate to Ishinomaki. Soon some big passenger helicopters arrived and picked us up 30 people at a time. First the sick, the children, the old people, the women, and last the men. It took about 4 hrs, but finally we were evacuated to Ishinomaki.
As I flew over Onagawa, I looked out the window and saw ruins and bodies everywhere. There were only the skeletal remains of a few buildings. I saw boats that were 2-3 km inland, pushed by the tsunami, and houses that were over 5 km out in sea. I kept thinking about my girlfriend. She was in my apartment in Onagawa at the time of the earthquake. It's only about 500 m from the sea, at sea level. I knew if she didn't get out then she was dead for sure. Of the 600 people of the island, we got about 200 out. I was told that there were only 3 houses left standing on the island.
We landed at a baseball field in Onagawa and there were Japanese self-defense forces everywhere. We were taken by hum-vee and transport trucks to Shogyo High school, an evacuation center. It's about 10 km or so from the sea, so it was still standing, but the tsunami had still reached the first floor, flooding the building and the rice fields around it.
Each classroom became a living quarters. Our classroom has 46 people in it… and it was designed for classes of 30. The school had no blankets, so we were each given a piece of cardboard to sleep on. That night we each got 1 rice ball, my first food since the earthquake/tsunami. I didn't sleep that night either. We had a heater but we were trying to conserve kerosene as we only had 10 litres.
The next day we were given 3 rice balls each. I had one in the morning, and saved 2. Later in the day many kids were complaining of hunger, so I gave my remaining 2 to a group of kids to divide up. There was no electricity, water, and no cell phone reception.
We had an emergency radio but there was no information about our area, as we were hit the hardest and there was no way to get information about us. To go to the bathroom, we had to use a piece of newspaper and put it in a plastic bag. Luckily, the Japanese SDF brought us enough drinking water.
I did my best to keep the kids busy that day, helping sweep the dirt/mud tracked in by the refugees. People came from all over Ishinomaki. I saw many people crying, both tears of happiness as they were told their loved ones were safe, and tears of grief as they were told their loved ones were confirmed dead. Onagawa was about 20 km by road. The roads were all flooded, and impassable by car.
I wanted to get back to look for my girlfriend, and decided to go straight over the mountains, but my colleagues stopped me. Looking back on it, I'm glad they did.
Many of the island school teachers had family/relatives in Ishinomaki. One of them walked back to her house and found her family was safe, and also that the family car was in usable condition. She managed to drive it back to the high school, going around all the flooded areas and ruins. She brought back some blankets, which we gave to the children/elderly. I didn't sleep much that night either.
The next day we decided to use the car and go looking for food. Some local supermarkets had been opened by the Japanese SDF and were doing rationing to people who could make it there. We got as much food as we could (mostly crackers and cookies – that's all they had) and also took any cardboard and newspaper we could find, to use as bedding.
End of the first email
Order and looting
Sunday afternoon. A teacher had brought her car back from her house, and we were using it to go find food. Some supermarkets were open, doing rationing. We lined up with the other hundreds of people. Ishinomaki was full of smoke, as there was a gas explosion in an area on the coast, and the whole neighborhood was burning. That area was about 7-8 km from us though, so we were ok.
The damage was much less inland than on the coast. Even though we were almost 10 km inland, the tsunami had flooded the first floor of every house, with the water going up to about 5-6 feet. On the coast, the water went up to the roof of a 4-story building.
At the supermarket/rationing center, we were allowed to buy 5 items each. The staff had filled boxes with various canned goods, cup noodles, and juices, each 100 yen. Since we had to buy food for about 200 people, we spent the day lining up over and over again, buying 5 items at a time.
There was still no power, so when nightfall came the store announced that they were finished for the day. I was amazed at the Japanese peoples' calmness. I knew they still had food left inside the supermarket, and I knew what we had bought wasn't enough for everyone, but everyone lining up still obeyed the rules and went home.
On our way back to the school we drove a little closer to the coast to look for another fellow teacher's house. The areas here were devastated, but the Japanese SDF [Self Defense Forces, the Japanese military] had already been busy working clearing the roads with bulldozers.
We couldn't make it to the teacher's house, but we saw that people here hadn't been obeying the rules. Some convenience stores and almost all the vending machines we saw were looted. I don't blame them. Without a car, there was no way to get to the rationing centers, and food/water is more precious than gold at times like this.
Waiting for word from his girlfriend
While driving back, we found an area that had cell phone reception. I receieved 27 messages on my phone from my family and friends, asking if I was alright. But still no message from my girlfriend. The worry was making me sick. I didn't have the time or the batteries to reply to everyone, so I replied to my mom, my best friend in Japan, and sent a quick message to my girlfriend, saying I was safe and was at Shogyo high school in Ishinomaki.
We came back to the high school/evacuation center. Because the island people weren't the only ones there, and we didn't bring enough food back for everyone, we had to sneak in what we brought, and divide it among the children, the sick, and the old people of the island.
As I was giving a bag of crackers and cookes to a mother, explaining that it was only for the children, she burst into tears, thanking me over and over again. Even though everyone was hungry, getting to the point of starving, everyone still thought of the children first. That night I was so exhausted that I passed out on my piece of cardboard, even though it was cold as hell. I woke up around 1 am to the sound of a helicopter outside. I realized that I had a blanket on me, or what I thought was a blanket. Actually it was the crying mother's jacket… she must have put it on me while I was asleep, as a gesture of thanks.
The helicopter outside was the Japanese SDF, bringing water, blankets, and bananas for everyone. In our room we got 1 blanket for every 3 people, and 2 bananas each. I ate half of a banana, and gave my other banana to the mother who had given me her jacket.
The next morning, I checked my cell but there was still no reception at the high school, so still no news of my gf.
The teachers of the school convened to talk about our plan. One of the teachers joked that since it was Monday morning, and we were at a school anyways, how about having some classes for the students. There was about 3 seconds of stunned silence then we all burst into laughter. The principal said that living in these conditions and persevering through a situation like this was a learning experience for everyone, including the children.
News of the girlfriend
While talking, we had a surprise. The principal of Onagawa First Junior High came walking down the hall. He was the first person from Onagawa that I had seen. He informed us that all of the Onagawa students were safe and sound. When asked how he got here, he said that the SDF had just cleared the road to Ishinomaki, and he drove here, bringing a few island residents who were on the mainland at the time of the quake/tsunami.
One of the older men who came with him from Onagawa saw me and said, "You're Mike, right? You have a girlfriend in Onagawa? Don't worry, she's safe." When he said that, my heart leaped into my throat. 3 days and 3 nights of worrying, not knowing if she was alive or dead, all these emotions surged to the surface.
I hugged the man and thanked him over and over.
The principal said that he needed to get back to Onagawa and asked if anyone wanted a ride. I leapt at the opportunity. I had no idea when/if I would be back to the high school, so I said goodbye and good luck to the teachers/students.
As we were driving back to Onagawa, the damage was unbelievable. I had been living in Onagawa for 2.5 years, and had driven that road countless times, but now it was a wasteland. I saw cars that were flipped around like toys. A few even ended up on the roof of the remains of a 4-story building. A car on the roof of a 4-story building. That's how high the tsunami went. I saw a house that had been transplanted onto the roof of the remains of the fire station. It was absurd, like a dream, or more like a nightmare. I couldn't believe that anyone had survived.
As we drove through the town, I snapped a few pictures with my camera, and we stopped to talk to a few survivors who were poking around the remains of their homes, most looking for supplies, some looking for lost loved ones.
We got to Onagawa Second elementary school, another evacuation center. In my haste to get back to Onagawa, I forgot to ask the old man where he had seen my girlfriend. When I entered the staff room, I was immediately hugged by many of the teachers… even though I'm not a teacher at that school, and I don't know them that well.
Even if you don't know someone well though, it's still a relief to know that they're alive. One teacher told me right away that my girlfriend was here, but she had gone out with another teacher to look for the remains of my apartment, and that she should be back soon.
I was ecstatic. I was talking with some of the other teachers/students, when suddenly I saw my girlfriend walking up the stairs.
My heart stopped.
I dropped my bag, and ran down the stairs, calling her name. I think I slipped the last few steps, and ended up hugging her before falling on my ass on the stairs. We just hugged and cried for about a minute. We were both too emotional to speak.
When we could finally speak, we exchanged stories. Here is hers.
The girlfriend's story
When the earthquake hit, she was in my apartment in Onagawa, about 500m from the ocean. The shaking was so strong that all of the plates came flying out of the cupboards, the stove fell over, and even the fridge moved about 1m.
She was wearing her pajamas at the time, doing her makeup. She grabbed her jacket and shoes and ran out the door. There is a small playground beside the apartment, which is the designated evacuation area during earthquakes. About 20 other people from the neighborhood had gathered there, some with children. Snow was falling.
The ground was still shaking, so they waited in the cold for it to stop. The town's PA system announced a tsunami warning. The older people in the playground said to not worry, that a tsunami had never come this far inland during their lives. So everyone relaxed, and waited until it was safe to go back inside.
After about 15 minutes, they saw water coming down the streets, and it was rising rapidly. Not a huge wave like in the movies, but rather like a bathtub filling up. Many of the older people ran back to their houses, maybe to gather precious belongings.
The water continued to rise. When it was about 50 m away, someone said that they had to get out of there. So they started running away from the water. The water started to rise more rapidly.
My gf ran with the group. She picked up a small child who was having a hard time running and carried him. The boy insisted that he was fine and could run, so my gf put him back down.
She says she doesn't remember much, just that she ran.
Because the road was flat and at sea level, most of the people started to climb the hillside, covered in trees and bushes. My gf scraped her hands and knees, climbing frantically. She heard the water coming, and could hear explosions as gas lines were severed.
She said the loudest sound was houses scraping the ground as they were picked up and dragged, and people everywhere yelling, "Help!!!" At the top of the hill, there was a young male high school student helping the people up the hill. He helped my girlfriend. My gf got to the top and looked back, and could only see water, houses and people flowing by. She was the last one to make it, and there were only 2 other people at the top of the hill.
Of the group of 20, all the other people had been washed away. The water was over 10m high at this point.
Suddenly from below a young woman that had been running with them surfaced from the water. The high school boy leapt down to help, dragging her out of the water. She had lost her shoes in the water and her feet were torn up and bloody from climbing the hill. But she was alive. The water continued to rise.
The hill was actually a ridgeline connecting to the nearby town sports ground/gym. The four of them decided to try to get to higher ground, so they moved along the ridgeline. The ground continued to shake and snow continued to fall.
By nightfall they got to the town gym, safe from the tsunami as it's situated on a small mountain. Many other town residents were there. Some, who had evacuated immediately, had even managed to get there by car before the water came. Of course there was no power/water. They prepared to stay the night at the gym. They had nothing there, not even cardboard to sleep on.
Some of the residents brought blankets with them when they fled, and these went to the people who needed them most, namely children and the elderly. My gf met a friend of mine, Rob Lehne, another ALT in Onagawa, from Seattle, Washington. He helped her a lot over the next couple days, and I owe him big time for that.
The next day my girlfriend spent helping, shoveling snow. In the morning, a small bowl of soup was given out to the children only. There was no water for anyone. Helicopters were flying everywhere overhead, picking up survivors and bringing them to the town gym. Every time they came, my gf would ask the pilots if they had any news of Izushima, the island I was on. Every time, they had no news, as they weren't assigned to fly there.
The next day my gf and another teacher went out into the ruins of Onagawa. My apartment, or the spot where it was, was fairly close, so she went back there. There was nothing left of my apartment, or my car that had been parked beside it. While looking around, she found my vacuum cleaner on the train tracks, about 30 m away, and my Canadian flag, which was on the second floor of the remains of another apartment building about 200 m away.
She took the flag for me, and I still have it in my bag. It's covered in mud and smells like the ocean, but I'm still happy to have it.
The comforts of home
The next morning was the morning that we reunited. After seeing my girlfriend, we went to Onagawa First Junior high, which hadn't been damaged by the tsunami as it's high up on a hill. The students were all fine. I met the teachers too and they were fine, although many lost their homes and loved ones.
The other Onagawa ALT, Rob, still hadn't been able to contact his girlfriend in Sendai, so he decided to try to drive to Sendai. He offered us a ride, and we took it. I found my boss at the local elementary school and told him I was going to Sendai.
We left that morning and a normally 2 hr drive took almost 5 hrs, as we came to many impassable roads due to flooding and debris. We finally got to Sendai and found Rob's gf, safe and sound.
Power to some parts of Sendai had been restored. From the car, my gf and I saw some vending machines that glowed warmly, as if nothing was amiss. We almost cried seeing something so normal. After over 72 hours of seeing scenes of despair and destruction, it was almost too much to see something that ordinary. After meeting Rob's gf, we said goodbye there as my gf and I wanted to see how her apartment fared, and Rob and his gf wanted to go back to their own place.
Remarkably, my gf's apartment was almost untouched. Her rack of shoes had fallen over, and some books were on the floor, but other than that there was no damage.
Japan's ability to build earthquake-proof buildings is amazing, but I don't think there is any way to make a building tsunami-proof.
More remarkable than the lack of damage to the building was the fact that the power was on and the water was running. We washed our faces and brushed our teeth for the first time in 4 days, and changed our clothes. I realized I hadn't taken my jacket off even one time in over 3 full days.
Because of the cold temperature and the lack of showers and blankets, there had been no need to take it off at all. Also, she had food left in her refrigerator, so we ate a meal that night.
I managed to call my mom in Abbotsford and talk to her for the first time. She was crying she was so happy.
We slept in a bed for the first time since the quake that night, warm and with full bellies. The next day, we decided to go buy some more food, as we didn't have much left in the apartment. In Sendai, even though there was very little damage, the supermarkets were still doing rationing.
While lining up, we got a call from a friend in Okayama, which is a fair sized city about 1500 km to the southwest. She was worried about us and wanted us to come stay with her for awhile. She had arranged travel and accomodation for us already. Due to the nuclear reactor situation in Fukushima, we decided that it wasn't a bad idea to go to Okayama for a bit. There were no buses and trains out of Sendai so we had to take a chartered taxi to Yamagata, the prefecture to the west, and then to Niigata station, where we could ride a shinkansen (bullet train) to Okayama.
Surreal experience
In Okayama, it was unbelievable. There was zero influence of the earthquake/tsunami. My friend there arranged for my gf and I to stay at a vacant apartment near the station that her family owned. So that's where we've been for the last couple days. I've been trying to contact both my contracting organization, to find out if I have a job/place to live, and the Canadian embassy in Tokyo, to find out if I have a job.
No matter how hard I try though, my calls keep getting redirected to the foreign affairs section in Ottawa, where they know nothing and are unable to answer any questions about what they're doing to help the Canadians in Japan now. I wrote an email to the official emergency email address of foreign affairs, explaining my situation and that I needed a passport as mine was lost in the tsunami, and that I have nothing but the clothes on my back.
They sent back a form letter explaining that Canadians living in Japan needed to go through all the official channels to get a passport, and that I need a birth certificate, two photos, my previous passport etc etc, all of which is somewhere out in the sea now. It's been really frustrating dealing with them, as they act like nothing has happened in Japan, and there's nothing to worry about.
They're not the ones who had to live through the quake and the tsunami.
I've decided to go to Tokyo and talk with someone in person, so I'm on the train there now, using my gf's laptop. Actually I arrive in about 10 minutes. I have to get all this stuff straightened out.
Share this story
Sorry for the long email and if there are any typos. Feel free to pass my story around to anyone that wants to hear it. When I get back to Canada I want to do my best to get this story out to as many people as possible, and to raise as many funds as possible for the people of Onagawa. Once I get back there I'll give my contact info out, but as things stand now I already have over 300 emails to answer and my cell is ringing off the hook so I can't afford to be talking to the press until I get my passport and ticket figured out.
Please pass this story on to any newspapers/anyone who is interested. Also, I noticed one big mistake in my first email to you. When I said: "We landed at a baseball field in Onagawa and there were Japanese self-defense forces everywhere." Actually it was Ishinomaki that we landed in. I didn't go to Onagawa until Monday morning.

This was unexpectedly easy and delicious! Great for when you don't want to cook. I added the tomatoes but didn't have any olives which I am sure the addition of which, would make it that more special.I tried it with and without the cheese and prefered it without. Enjoy!!!
Very complex tastes for such a simple recipe. I have used citrus olive oil and added chopped fresh tomato. Both are excellent additions
Excellent; couldn't be easier. A tad too homey for company, but what a find for a great weekday meal. I, too, will add a great tomato when that season arrives, but this time made it exactly as directly, plus a dash or two of salt.
I loved this recipe. It was so simple and so delicious. I made it exactly as directed, but you could use less oil to make it lighter. I will definitely make it again, and would suggest using the highest quality canned tuna, or a fresh tuna steak. I can't wait to try it with the tomatoes and olives.
I would use half the amount of olive oil. It was definitely too oily. I breaded tilapia and sauteed in olive oil till brown on both sides, then finished baking in the oven. It was delicious with the olives, and I would try adding the chopped tomatoes next time.
I used a leftover grilled tuna steak from the night before (okay, two nights before, but it was still fine). I rinsed it off and cut it into small chunks. Because the steak weighed more than a 6 oz. can of tuna, I added a little more of all ingredients. This is one of the best sauces we've had in a long time, and my guest rated it 4 forks: unusual. I'd have rated it 3 and a half forks, also unusual. Salt was not among the ingredients, but I felt it needed some, and added black pepper at the same time. I heated the sauce slightly in the microwave, and I always warm my pasta serving bowls by putting them into the sink and draining the pasta water into them. I used tomatoes and olives as the variation. Next time I'd pit the olives. This sauce was delicious, very easy since it's uncooked, and worth grilling an extra tuna steak.
This dish is very easy to make and it is very light. I would add more capers next time to give it some additional flavor.
Extremely yummy recipe, especially when it's too hot to cook, or you're rushed. I made this recipe w/out the parsley and with, it's great both ways. You can also add some lemon juice from the zested lemons to the sauce or just make fresh lemonade. The third time I made this, I tried adding tomatos. It is a different taste, more traditional pasta saucey. I prefer it without.
Very good, quick & easy to prepare...added the tomatoes and olives and extra garlic. My husband nearly "licked the bowl"!
I made this last night for dinner and loved it! I added some chopped Kalamata olives but no tomatoes. I also doubled the garlic and didn't add the 1/4 cup olive oil because I used the Italian tuna packed in oil. Very flavorful! I would definitely make it again--could become a regular in my house!

Maranello, 30 July – The latest driver to join the Ferrari Driver Academy, China's Guanyu Zhou, today completed 57 laps of Fiorano circuit at the wheel of a Formula 4 car. The day began with rain falling on the track, but fortunately it cleared up to allow the Zhou, born in 1999, to end the day on a dry track.
The youngster, currently racing for the British team, Strawberry Racing, in the Rotax karting championship, enjoyed the experience. "I was a bit nervous this morning, as it was my first time in a single-seater and the track had a lot of water on it, but then it all went well and it felt fantastic. It's completely different to a kart. You have to try and adapt your driving style to it in a hurry and get used to much higher speeds. The Prema team and the engineers from the Academy followed my every step and taught me a lot and I'm really grateful." Head of the FDA Luca Baldisserri was also pleased with how the day went. "Despite the fact this was his first time and the conditions difficult, today Guanyu made no mistakes and proved he could adapt to the car in a very short space of time. For the Ferrari Driver Academy, the arrival of a Chinese driver represents a new challenge and is definitely the start of an exciting adventure."

Might I add to the list Sir; A water purification unit made by British Berkefeld. Total gravity water purification which through the use of reusable/ceramic stone filters can take pond or stream water and make it potable.This is not a pressurized system.
We have had ours for over ten years now and though the old filters appeared new when washed we opted to change the filters once in that time as our city water is suspect/full of carcinogens and ecoli/fluoride and chlorine. These units remove heavy metals and bacteria by trapping them on the surface where they can be easily removed with a green scratchy and water,simple and efficient.
This system is also known as the missionary's safe water source as it was developed by an English company for use by aid workers/military when Britannia had many interests in third world countries where potable water was nearly non existent.
Great heads up info my man, people really need to wake up to the fact that if the crash hits as hard as it may ones neighbors can be just as dangerous to contend with as the government when food and staples become scarce.My advice is not to sing too loudly, but be quietly prepared and potable water is #1 on the list.Thanks again.
P.S. Clean water may also be a bartering chip in the future, it costs more for a quart of water at the local convenience store than a quart of beer.Un freaking believable!

Adrenal Cortex Vegetarian Capsules by Thorne Research help the body by providing pure adrenal cortex tissue to support healthy adrenal function. This can help maintain the body's normal stress and immune responses' especially if they have been impaired.
As you would expect from any other Thorne Research product' this Adrenal Cortex supplement is made to comply with the highest quality standards. As with Thorne Research's many other products' Adrenal Cortex does not contain any lubricants' diluents' preservatives or magnesium stearate.
What is the adrenal cortex?
The adrenal cortex produces a special group of hormones known as corticosteroids. These corticosteroids are comprised of mineralocorticoids' 17-ketosteroids and glucocorticoids' which are necessary for the body to perform key homeostatic processes. Mineralocorticoids work to maintain the optimal electrolyte balance in addition to maintaining already normal blood pressure levels. 17-ketosteroids work in concert with the sex hormones that are produced by your adrenal glands' and glucocorticoids are used for metabolizing glucose and for the body's natural immune response.
The body is designed to handle the normal stresses of day-to-day life' but these days' too many people are chronically over-stressed. Work demands and family life take their toll on your adrenal system' and then their effects are compounded by poor dietary habits' such as excess caffeine consumption and eating refined sugars' and poor lifestyle choices' such as lack of exercise and inadequate time for rest. When this occurs' as it often does' the adrenal glands are forced to work overtime and they end up becoming fatigued.
Why supplement with Adrenal Cortex by Thorne Research?
Fatigued adrenal glands do not function properly' which means that they will not produce adequate levels of cortisol to deal with stress. If your body isn't producing enough cortisol' you will start to experience undesirable symptoms' such as lack of energy' poor concentration' muscle fatigue' joint pain and sleep disturbances' among other possible symptoms.
Adrenal cortex tissue extracts' such as those included in Adrenal Cortex by Thorne Research' play a valuable supporting role in maintaining your overall adrenal health' which in turn can help your immune system function properly and leave you feeling more energized. Glandulars also work to help support healthy cortisol levels' which can help relieve fatigue and joint or muscle pain.
Adrenal cortex by Thorne Research was specifically designed to provide you with adrenal cortex tissue' which can help support normal adrenal function. If you think your adrenal system may be malfunctioning' talk to your doctor about getting tested for low cortisol levels. This is especially crucial for people who are already experiencing the classic symptoms of overtaxed adrenal glands listed above. The sooner you get yourself on a treatment program' such as the natural support provided by adrenal cortex' the sooner you can start feeling better.

Better than Isocort.
I used to use Isocort, which made me jittery. Thorne Adrenal Complex works without the jittery. It gives me calm energy and supports my adrenals. I really like this product a lot.

Worked for me!!
I was unsure of which adrenal cortex supplement I could safely take during pregnancy, and someone who has experience with adrenal fatigue during pregnancy recommended Thorne, as it does not have any added herbs that may be unsafe during pregnancy. Adrenal Corterx by Thorne Research has helped me greatly. I started out taking 2 in the AM, 1 at lunch, and 1 at dinner. Because I was feeling much better, I went to 1 capsule 3x/day and have now scaled back to 1 cap 2x/day. I am not an expert and so cannot recommend what other pregnant women should do in this situation, but I wascomfortable with taking this product and have been pleased with the results.
It has proven effective at alleviating my moderate adrenal fatigue. It is also economical and ships fast and free from PF.

Adrenal support!
I switched to Adrenal Cortex by Thorne Research when the Adrenal Complex I had been taking was causing me to feel jittery. I have been very pleased with this supplement. No jittery feelings, no heart flutters.

I have a son as a result of taking this!
I was diagnosed with Third stage Adrenal fatigue by my Natropath. I had also been told from test results with my regular doctor that I was unable to have children, at the age of 40, as my sperm were abnormal and very low numbers. I later discovered that this could be the result of hormonal problems due to my Adrenal fatigue. I was also suffering from severe allergies and intolerances all the time and this was crippling my day to day functioning and happiness. After my Natropath prescribed Thorne Cortrex I instantly improved in so many ways. Initially I was calm and all anxiety had gone. I was also not reacting to many foods and allergens...at all! Three months later I got my 40 year old wife pregnant. Nine months later I have a beautiful little boy, Teddy, who would not be in this world if I hadn't been taking this supplement. Interestingly enough around the time of my son's birth I stopped taking the Cortrex. I started to react to foods, get anxious, and my wife pointed out that I should start taking The Cortrex again and symptoms left as fast as I had put the first pill in my mouth...almost. A big thank you to Thorne for creating this product without which I would probably not have a perfect little son today.
Keep taking it as you think your fixed and then stop taking it and symptoms return

Supports my adrenal fatigue
I'm hypothyroid and that usually comes with adrenal fatigue. I used to crash around 2pm and need a 3 hour nap before I could function again. I tried hydrocortisone cream which did the job but made me irritable as heck. I've been using one Thorne Research Adrenal Cortex capsule each time I take NDT and it works. That's why I reorder every 10 days. Just wish it came in larger bottles. If you have adrenal issues this works. Period!
Bottle are too small.

Adrenal support
Since Isocort has been off the market, these are the only Adrenal Cortex by Thorne Research supplements I'll take. They are effective, tho I tend to take more than the recommended amount. I always buy 2 bottles at a time. Also, I love PureFormulas fast shipping!!
Effective adrenal support.

Great Product
I use Adrenal Cortex by Thorne Research for adrenal fatigue. I've definitely noticed a difference in my energy levels when taking 1 capsule, twice daily. I started with one capsule and began taking 2 capsules about a week later. I would definitely recommend starting with a low dose to see how your body handles it, and then working up from there (not just with this product, but with any new supplement). The thing I really like about this particular product is that it gives me energy without that "tired and wired" feeling that so many of us with adrenal fatigue experience with caffeine or other stimulants. Definitely give it a try!
As with all Thorne products, it is very high quality with few or no fillers.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Replacing Isocort
I was happy with the product Isocort for several years, but then it was discontinued. I saw that Adrenal Cortex by Thorne Research as recommended as a substitute. It seems to be working. I would like to report back after I have a blood test in January.

Great Product
A friend of mine referred Adrenal Cortex by Thorne Research to me and I've been very happy with the results. Thorne is a great company with quality products. I combine this with Stress B and I have more energy throughout the day. Price is great and the shipping is free and fast.

Mylan And Zyomyx Enter Into Exclusive Distribution Agreement For Innovative Point-of-Care CD4 Diagnostic Test, Enhancing Mylan's Leadership Position In HIV Care
Peter Wagner, president and CEO of Zyomyx, said, "As a diagnostics company, we are excited about the potential impact of this agreement with Mylan, a pharmaceutical company that has access to nearly every HIV/AIDS treatment clinic in Africa through its impressive distribution network. Together, we will be able to ensure that people living with HIV/AIDS in the highest burden countries receive both the testing and lifesaving treatment they need."
Mylan has been a leading global player in the HIV/AIDS arena for more than a decade and a leader in bringing to market innovations that enhance access to treatment, for instance producing fixed dose combinations, which provide a reduced pill burden and once-a-day dosage, and patient-convenient "combo" packs. Mylan also developed multiple FDA/WHO-approved heat-stable ARV products, which can be distributed and used in warm climates where refrigeration infrastructure is not widely available. In addition, Mylan has been a global leader in producing ARV formulations for pediatric use. Today, Mylan supplies high quality ARVs to more than 120 countries around the world and nearly 40% of HIV/AIDS patients receiving treatment in developing countries depend on one of the company's ARV products.
Under the terms of the distribution and supply agreement, Zyomyx will supply the POC CD4 test to Mylan, and Mylan will pay development and commercial milestones and a share of profits to Zyomyx for the exclusive rights to distribute the POC CD4 test in Africa; Asia (excluding Japan and South Korea but including (without limitation) Russia, Central Asia and the Middle East); CEE; CIS; South America and Central America (including Mexico); and the Caribbean Islands. Further, simultaneous with the execution of the distribution and supply agreement, Mylan made a strategic equity investment in Zyomyx and entered into an agreement with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to provide improved and affordable CD4 testing access to patients in high burden HIV countries. All other terms of the agreements are confidential.
This press release includes statements that constitute "forward-looking statements," including with regard to the distribution and supply agreement. These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Because such statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties, actual future results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: the impact of competition; failure to achieve anticipated sales; changes in economic and financial conditions of the company's business; uncertainties and matters beyond the control of management; and the other risks detailed in the company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the date of this release.

This is amazing! I'm so glad you guys made this and really hope it works out.

Hey, if and when y'all get a moment could y'all take a gander at League of Legends: The Coming Storm. It's a project I'm working on.
I just had a brilliant idea thanks to this thread.. When we get everything rolling again we should host a PCF Fantasy Draft event in which a summoner picks three already made champions (ADC, tank/support, caster) in the forums as their team. Then we just set them up in vs. threads and have the community vote. Voting rules may apply. Should be a monnth long event, giving 5 day intervals for posting/voting. First week would be the first set of champs, the second would be the victors form those battles, third week and then the championship.
I'd like to set up a meeting for Saturday 6 CST.
That's...8pm eastern, yes?
