Its all about ships
and more
This guide to St. Croix continues with information about the
cruise port, getting around and shopping.
Photo Tour*
St. Croix is the largest of the three main islands that make up the
United States Virgin Islands, However, it is a considerable distance from
its sister islands of
St. Thomas
St. John
. Indeed, it is only on a clear
day that you can see across the 40 or so miles of water that separate St.
Croix from her popular sisters. As a result, St. Croix is somewhat off the
beaten tourist path.
This tends to explain the unhurried atmosphere of the island. Its two
principal towns,
, lack the hustle and bussel
of Charlotte Amalie. Its often mountainous countryside is largely
undeveloped with lush vegetation on the west side and arrid terrain on the
east side. The 54,000 residents of the island are pretty well spread out
across the island's 84 square miles.
The United States Virgin Islands is an unicorporated territory of the
United States. Thus, the Cruzans are citizens of the United States. They
vote in territorial elections. However, the territorial government is
based in St. Thomas.
In recent years, the Hovensa oil refinery has been one of the island's
largest employers. However, in early 2012, it was announced that the
refinery would be permanently closed.
Another important industry is the manufacture of rum. St. Croix is the
home of the Cruzan Distillery, makers of Cruzan Rum and Southern
Comfort. A new distillery scheduled to open in 2012 will make Captain
Morgan rum.
Many people, however, are involved in tourism. Conseqently, most
people are tourist friendly. While the tourist infastructure may not be as
sophisticated as St. Thomas, it is nonetheless considerable.
St. Croix has suffered in recent years from a perception that crime is a
serious problem on the island. Locals claim this image is without basis
and that the crime rate on St. Croix is the same as on other Caribbean
islands. In addition, they say that few crimes are perpetrated against
visitors to the island. However, they say that visitors to St. Croix should
exercise the same caution that they do when visiting other parts of the
United States.
From December through April, the temperature in St. Croix ranges
from the low 70s to high 80s on the Farnheight scale. It is slightly higher
during May through November. The driest period is the Spring and early
summer. St. Croix is within the huricane belt with such storms appearing
in late summer and early Fall.

There is evidence suggesting that St. Croix was inhabited by the Ingrei people as
early as 2500 BC. They were followed by the Taino and Arawak peoples who were in
turn displaced by the Carib Indians in the 14th Century.
Christopher Columbus is credited as being the first European to come to St. Croix,
which he named "Santa Cruz." During his second voyage to the New World in 1493,
his fleet of 17 ships landed near the Salt River in hopes of finding fresh water. Not
only did they not find fresh water but the landing party was attacked by Caribs, who
succeeded in driving off the Europeans.
Subsequently, the Caribs came to an understanding with the Spanish on neighboring
Puerto Rico under which the two groups co-existed. This eventually fell apart and the
Caribs aided the Tainos on Puerto Rico in an uprising against the Spanish. The Spanish
put down the uprising and ordered the extermination of the Caribs. This led the Caribs
to permanently abandon St. Croix.
Although Spain claimed the island, it made no attempt to establish a settlement. As
a result, the first European settlements were built by the English and the Dutch in the
1620s. At first, the two settlements co-existed peacefully but then the Dutch governor
killed the English governor and the English retaliated. This led to a series of battles for
the island with the Dutch eventually deciding to withdraw. However, in 1650, Spain
decided to assert its claim and violently evicted the British.
The Spanish did not stay long on the island. Seeing a power vacuum, first the Dutch
and then the French tried to occupy St. Croix. The French sent two ships and
succeeded in establishing a settlement in 1651. However, disease devastated the
Ten years later, Philippe de Poincy, who was governor of St. Kitts and also an
official of the Knights of Malta bought the island for the Knights. He brought in 300
planters from St. Kitts but was unable to make a profit. He sold it to the French West
Indies Company, which at first was successful growing sugar, cotton, tobacco and
indigo. But with bad administration, the colony began to decline. Eventually, the
island came under the French crown again. But by 1695, nearly all of the French
settlers had left the island.
Next to arrive was the Danish West Indies Company , which purchased the island
from France in 1733. The company in turn sold the island to the Danish crown some
two decades later. Christiansted was made the capital of the Danish Virgin Islands and
remained so until 1871 when it was moved to Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas. The
Danes allowed immigration from other European countries and soon there were
significant populations of English, Spanish Sephardic Jews, and French Huguenot
The Danes managed to succeed where the other European powers had failed but
only by unfortunate means. African slaves were imported to work the plantations.
This soon resulted in the profitable export of sugar, molasses, rum, cotton and hard
Denmark made it illegal to import slaves in 1803. Racial segregation was banned
in 1834. However, it was not until thousands of slaves descended upon Frederiksted in
July 1848 demanding freedom that the Danish Governor General Peter Von Scholten
proclaimed emancipation of the slaves throughout the Danish West Indies.
The sugar cane industry had been deteriorating ever since the 1820s when a viable
means of making sugar from beets was discovered. Without slave labor to support it,
the sugar cane industry on St. Croix went into decline. As the islands were no longer
profitable, Denmark offered to sell its islands to the United States for $5 million.
However, the two countries failed to reach a deal.
Seeing the strategic significance of the Danish islands in protecting the Panama
Canal, the United States re-opened negotiations after the outbreak of World War I.
Denmark also realized the value of its property had gone up and so it agreed to sell
them for $25 million. Consequently, St. Croix became a United States territory in 1917.
During the 20th Century, there were waves of immigration from Puerto Rico and
other Caribbean islands. In 1966, a large oil refinery was built on the island, giving a
much needed boost to the economy. An alumina plant also operated on St. Croix from
the 1960s until 2000. At the same time, tourism grew to be an important part of the

I've been experimenting with twist outs in the past few months and this video shows one of the times that I experimented. I usually used Let's Jam Custard for my twists and finger coils but I decided to use this new product from Softee called Curli Q Fondue. I've seen many people compare this product to Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding. I will be doing a review and comparison of both products so stay tuned for that in the near future.

It's time to start thinking spring! At least that's the idea at the Portage Health Fitness Center, which is set to begin its spring group fitness classes on March 3.
The full list of available classes is available at portagehealth.org/fitnessclasses. You can also download the flyer here (PDF).
"We've kept many of our popular classes, and added TRX Blast, Core Yoga and a new Core Crunch sessions," said Angela Luskin, community health coordinator. "This set of classes has something for everyone, including the continuation of our new Water Works class, which began midway through our winter schedule."
The spring schedule also includes the continuation of Exercise Made Simple, a great class for those looking to get started in exercising.
The spring schedule will run through May 31, and once again includes the ability to book classes online. Learn more about online booking here.
Sessions are $6 each, or $4 for fitness center members. Sixteen-session punch cards are also available. As always, the first class is always free.
The Portage Hospital Auxiliary is once again accepting applications for $1,000 scholarships. The scholarships are awarded annually to students from Baraga, Houghton, Keweenaw or Ontonagon county studying healthcare.
"This is an investment in future healthcare in our region," said Barb Worrall, president of the auxiliary. "Each year we see return on this investment as these students often come back to the Copper Country as highly trained professionals in their given field."
Interested students must have completed one year of higher education before the fall of 2014, be pursing a career in healthcare, be a registered resident of Baraga, Houghton, Keweenaw or Ontonagon County, and have a GPA of at least 3.0.
Upon meeting these requirements, students must submit an application, transcript of grades and a letter stating their career interest.
This year the auxiliary will award six scholarships, including three made possible by matching funding by Portage Health. The scholarship is funded by money raised during the auxiliary's annual Lights of Love event in early December.
To learn more about the scholarship, and download an application, visit portagehealth.org/scholarship.
The Portage Health Blue Jean Friday Fund has yielded more than $50,000 in donations since its inception in 2006, including more than $6,400 in 2013.
"Our employees are deeply invested in improving our community," Marketing Director Victor Harrington said. "The Blue Jean Friday Donations are completely voluntary, and we see great participation from our employees."
Employees are asked to donate $2 in order to wear blue jeans each Friday. The funds are collected, and donated to a local non-profit organization each quarter.
In 2013, donations ranged from $1,331.85 to $1,794.35. Beneficiaries included Copper Country Relay for Life, Copper Country United Way, Portage Health Foundation and Western U.P. Healthcare Access Coalition.
Since the Blue Jean Friday was implemented, Portage Health employees have donated more than $10,000 each to the United Way, Relay for Life and Portage Health Foundation.
Volunteers are needed for an ongoing infant nutrition study. The study is being done in partnership with Portage Health Pediatrics, Michigan Technological University and the Gerber Foundation.
"This research could change infant care and ensure the wellbeing of the youngest members of our society," Adrienne R. Minerick, Ph.D., Michigan Tech.
Learn more about the study, including watching an introduction video, by visiting portagehealth.org/teardrop.
If you or someone you know has an infant, and would be willing to participate in the study, contact your Portage Health Pediatrician at (906) 483-1700, or Minerick at (906) 487-2796 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I am an artist from Carmel, California, presently residing in Dallas, TX. My style is impressionist, abstract and modern. I use oils and acrylics. Favorite subjects are landscape, beach scenes, figurative and floral. Also like cows, horses and Western themes. People walking their dogs! This is a wide field, but strong, happy color and reducing the subject to its core, is my main interest. I believe art affects the viewer. When such a person leaves feeling inspired to see more, do more, and appreciate life a little more, then I have achieved my goal! Thank you for visiting my site. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I love creating the art! I am especially grateful to those who appreciate the work enough to invest in it!

BROWN, EDGAR WILLIAM, JR. (1894–1976). Edgar W. Brown, Jr., Orange County banker, shipbuilder, financier, and philanthropist, was a native and lifelong resident of Orange, born on February 10, 1894, to Carrie (Lutcher) and Dr. Edgar William Brown, Sr. He was the grandson of Henry Jacob Lutcher, one of the wealthiest lumbermen in the United States. Brown attended Princeton, but in 1917, in his junior year, his father died, and he returned to Orange to look after his family's business interests. He was married on July 23, 1915, to Gladys Slade, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Slade of Monroe, Louisiana. Four sons were born to them. After Gladys died on September 17, 1959, Brown married Elizabeth Smith Hustmyre of Orange, on November 20, 1960.
He was director and officer of the First National Bank, organizer and chairman of the County National Bank, and chairman of the board of the Orange National Bank. In 1933 he became the principal owner of Levingston Shipbuilding Company, which during World War II built many vessels for the war effort and was awarded the "E" award for outstanding service to the United States Navy. Later Brown acquired the Gulfport Shipbuilding Company in Port Arthur and the Higman Towing Company, which he sold to his son L. Slade Brown in 1969. He was president of the Lutcher-Moore Cypress Lumber Company and vice president of the Dibert, Stark, and Brown Cypress Lumber Company. With his brother, B. Lutcher Brown, and his mother, he organized the Brown Paper Mill Company in Monroe, Louisiana, in 1923 and acquired vast holdings of timber for its supply. In 1959 this property was sold for a substantial fortune to the Olin Corporation. Brown was a founder of the Sabine River Water Shed Association, which later became the Sabine River Authority, and ultimately developed Toledo Bend Reservoir. After World War II he was a founder, with H. J. Lutcher Stark, his cousin, of the Industrial Development Committee, which led to the development of Chemical Row with its many petrochemical plants.
Brown was known in Houston as a director and life member of the Houston Fat Stock Show. The 1974 show and rodeo were dedicated to him in recognition of his years of support. He was named Man of the Year in 1967 by the Variety Club of Houston in recognition of his philanthropies. He served many years in the management of the Bill Williams Charity Capon Dinners in Houston. Among his other philanthropies, he supported the American Red Cross and Salvation Army in Orange and provided new facilities for them. He and Gladys supported and donated funds to the Bancroft School library in their Pinehurst home district, and they founded and supported Girls Haven in Orange. They gave the Slade Chapel to the First Methodist Church of Orange and set up a foundation to provide for its maintenance; they also contributed a parsonage. To the First Presbyterian Church they gave a manse and a protective dome for the church's priceless stained-glass windows. The Browns gave the First Baptist Church of Orange money toward the building of the McCorquodale Education Building and a recreational building. Brown donated a building to the Orange Community Players and funds to assist with many of their productions. In his memory each year the troupe presents a "Mr. Edgar" award to outstanding achievers.
Brown gave his former residence on Green Avenue to the city of Orange for a city hall and left his fine mansion, Lindenwood, and its sixty-two acres on Old Highway 90, in Pinehurst, to the First Methodist Church. When that church was unable to accept it, the estate was given to Lamar University at Orange as an educational center. Edgar Brown died on January 8, 1976, and was buried in the Brown family vault in Evergreen Cemetery, Orange.

We're upgrading our systems.
Please find your school below so we can direct you to the correct log-in page.
We believe children learn best when every aspect of their development — cognitive, physical, social, and emotional — is nurtured. Our Whole Child Education – based on the Montessori Method – focuses on early literacy, logical thinking, problem solving, social understanding, physical coordination, creativity, and positive character traits, such as cooperation and self-control.
Whole Child Education allows your child to develop the critical-thinking skills and intellectual curiosity that creates good citizens and fuels success in the classroom and beyond.
The Montessori Method helps children reach their fullest potential – at their own unique pace.
How does this work in practice? Here are some of the basics:
Instead of dividing children by grade, Montessori Unlimited classes place children in age groups: ages 2-3, 3-6, and 6-9. Multi-age classrooms help children develop social skills, and challenge them to learn and to work together, with each others' best interests in mind.
Our directors and directresses use extensive observation to guide and help children learn and develop at their own pace. Respect for your child's dignity and ability is critical.
While the "basics" are taught, other styles of learning – from musical and bodily-kinesthetic, to spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and intuitive – are encouraged. Teachers observe and keep records to plan individual projects so your child is engaged and learning at his or her best pace.
Our instructors are also trained to ask questions rather than always provide answers. Discovering answers for themselves helps children develop self-esteem and self-confidence.
The environment plays an important role in learning. When adults first walk into a Montessori classroom, they are often astonished — both by the level of activity, and by how tidy and quiet it is. Besides allowing children to self-direct their activities, we encourage self-discipline.
Given the variety of subjects being learned, work centers are arranged by subject. For children under age six, there are one or two uninterrupted work periods, each lasting three hours.
Research shows that children who receive a Montessori education are well prepared academically, socially, and emotionally. They also score well on standardized tests. But the real test of whether or not the system is working lies in the accomplishment and behavior of the children: their happiness, maturity, kindness, love of learning, and level of work.
To see the Montessori philosophy in action, find a school near you and take a tour.
Montessori Unlimited. Where self-discovery happens.

YIELD: Serves 6 to 8
- 1 Basic Flaky Pie Crust for a 9-inch pie
- 1 tablespoon egg white, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup liquid cran/raspberry concentrate, thawed, undiluted
- 3/4 cup water
- 4 cups strawberries, rinsed, hulled, dried, and halved
Make dough:
Remove the dough from the refrigerator. If necessary, allow it to sit for about 10 minutes or until it is soft enough to roll.
Using a pastry cloth and sleeve rubbed with flour or two sheets of plastic wrap lightly sprinkled with flour, roll the dough 1/8 inch thick or less and large enough to cut a 13-inch circle. Use an expandable flan ring or a cardboard template and a sharp knife as a guide to cut out the circle. Transfer the dough to the pie pan. Fold under the excess and crimp the border using a fork or your fingers. Cover it loosely and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour and a maximum of 24 hours.
Preheat the oven to 425°F at least 20 minutes before baking.
Line the pastry shell with parchment, pleating it as necessary so it fits into the pan, and fill it with rice or dried beans. Bake for 20 minutes. Carefully lift out the rice or beans with the parchment. With a fork prick the bottom and sides and bake 5 to 10 minutes more or until the crust is a pale golden. Check after 3 minutes and prick any bubbles that may have formed.
Cool the crust on a rack for 3 minutes, so it is no longer piping hot, then brush the bottom and sides with the egg white.
Make the filling:
In a 2-quart saucepan, mix together the sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir in the cran/raspberry concentrate and water until smooth. Over medium heat, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and cool completely.
Gently fold in the strawberries and spoon the filling into the baked pastry shell. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until set.
Refrigerated up to 2 days.
If the fruit is very acidic, the glaze will only keep 1 day.

Bernadina goes 4-for-4 with a home run
Salisbury, Md. – The Delmarva Shorebirds (20-33) dropped the series opener to the Hagerstown Suns (29-23) 5-3 on Thursday night. Delmarva is now 6-10 against Hagerstown this season.
Delmarva struck first in the home half of the third after catcher Michael Ohlman smacked a one out double into the left center field gap to plate Mikey Planeta.
Hagerstown came back to take the lead in the top of the fourth inning. Bryce Ortega led off with a single and was driven in by Cutter Dykstra's double down the third base line. Dykstra scored on a soft single to right field by Justin Miller to put the Suns up 2-1.
Roderick Bernadina tied the game up at two as he belted a one out homerun over the left field fence for his first homer of the year.
The Suns scored three runs in the top of the ninth. Brett Newsome knocked a one out double down the left field line. J.R. Higley then hit a single to advance Newsome to third. Newsome scored on a wild pitch by 'Birds reliever Gene Escat. Khayyan Norfork then hit his first home run of the year over the left field fence to put the Suns up 5-2.
Delmarva was able to score one in the ninth following Roderick Bernadina's RBI single to left. However, they stranded two runners in scoring position to end the game.
Shorebirds starter Eduardo Rodriguez gave up only two runs on three hits over five innings. He also struck out three and only walked one.
Jesse Beal relieved Rodriguez and pitched three scoreless innings. He gave up two hits and struck out three batters.
Picking up the loss on the evening for Delmarva was Gene Escat (2-1, 4.34), who pitched one inning and gave up three runs on three hits.
Hagerstown starter Blake Schwartz pitched six innings and gave up only one run on nine hits. He also recorded seven strikeouts.
Greg Holt (3-2, 3.93) notched the victory for the Suns going two innings and giving up one run on three hits. He also recorded a strikeout.
Colin Bates picked up his fourth save on the season pitching one inning of relief while giving up one run on two hits.
The next game for Delmarva will be Friday night at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium against the Hagerstown Suns. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05. The scheduled starter for Delmarva is Juan Guzman (1-1, 7.94).

MRI of extensive clival chordoma in 17-year-old male patient, axial view. Tumor in the nasopharynx extending from nasal cavity to brainstem posteriorly is clearly visible.
|Classification and external resources
|med/2992 radio/169 orthoped/49
Chordoma is a rare slow-growing neoplasm thought to arise from cellular remnants of the notochord. The evidence for this is the location of the tumors (along the neuraxis), the similar immunohistochemical staining patterns, and the demonstration that notochordal cells are preferentially left behind in the clivus and sacrococcygeal regions when the remainder of the notochord regresses during fetal life.
Chordomas can arise from bone in the skull base and anywhere along the spine. The two most common locations are cranially at the clivus and in the sacrum at the bottom of the spine.[1]
A small number of families have been reported in which multiple relatives have been affected by chordoma. In four of these families duplication of the brachyury gene was found to be responsible for causing chordoma.[2]
A possible association with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC1 or TSC2) has been suggested.[3]
In the United States, the annual incidence of chordoma is approximately 1 in one million (300 new patients each year).[4]
There are currently no known genetic or environmental risk factors for chordoma.
While most people with chordoma have no other family members with the disease, rare occurrences of multiple cases within families have been documented. This suggests that some people may be genetically predisposed to develop chordoma. Because genetic or hereditary risk factors for chordoma may exist, scientists at the National Cancer Institute are conducting a Familial Chordoma Study to search for genes involved in the development of this tumor.[5]
There are three histological variants of chordoma: classical (or "conventional"),[6] chondroid and dedifferentiated.
- The histological appearance of classical chordoma is of a lobulated tumor composed of groups of cells separated by fibrous septa. The cells have small round nuclei and abundant vacuolated cytoplasm, sometimes described as physaliferous (having bubbles or vacuoles).
- Chondroid chordomas histologically show features of both chordoma and chondrosarcoma.
Tumor Biology[edit]
- mTOR signaling is hyperactive in sporadic sacral chordomas: in one study 10 out of 10 sacral chordomas exhibited phosphorylation of Ribosomal protein s6 and EIF4EBP1 by immunohistochemistry[7]
- Partial or complete PTEN (gene) deficiency is observed in nearly all sacral chordomas[7]
- In a study of 49 chordomas Akt, TSC2, and EIF4EBP1 were phosphorylated in 92%, 96% and 98% of cases, respectively.[8]
- In a tissue microarray containing 21 chordomas Platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta (PDGFR-b), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), KIT (CD117) and HER2 were detected in 100%, 67%, 33% and 0% of cases, respectively.[9]
- The CDKN2A (p16) and CDKN2B (p15) loci on chromosome 9p21 are frequently deleted in chordomas[10] Another study found CDKN2A immunoreactivity in just 4% of cases.[8]
- 62% of chordomas express the High Molecular Weight Melanoma Associated Antigen, also known as Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) which has been the target of immune therapy.[11]
- Recently, scientists have discovered that an inherited Gene duplication is responsible for the familial form of this disorder.[12]
Prognosis and treatment[edit]
In one study, the 10-year tumor free survival rate for sacral chordoma was 46%.[13] Chondroid chordomas appear to have a more indolent clinical course.
In most cases, complete surgical resection followed by radiation therapy offers the best chance of long-term control.[14] Incomplete resection of the primary tumor makes controlling the disease more difficult and increases the odds of recurrence.
Chordomas are relatively radioresistant, requiring high doses of radiation to be controlled. The proximity of chordomas to vital neurological structures such as the brain stem and nerves limits the dose of radiation that can safely be delivered. Therefore, highly focused radiation such as proton therapy and carbon ion therapy are more effective than conventional x-ray radiation.[15]
There are no drugs currently approved to treat chordoma, however a clinical trial conducted in Italy using the PDGFR inhibitor Imatinib demonstrated a modest response in some chordoma patients.[16] The same group in Italy found that the combination of imatinib and sirolimus caused a response in several patients whose tumors progressed on imatinib alone.
Notable cases[edit]
Former NFL player Craig Heyward was treated for a chordoma in 1998. While initially thought to be successfully removed, the tumor returned in 2005, and caused Heyward's death in May 2006.
Josh Sommer, a student researcher at Duke University, created the Chordoma Foundation with his mother, Simone Sommer, after his diagnosis.[4] The Chordoma Foundation has hosted three International Chordoma Research Workshops which together assembled over 100 leading scientists and physicians, many of whom were new to the field of chordoma research. The Foundation has also collected and distributed chordoma cell lines for research into the cancer's molecular cause and possible treatments.[17]
Pro skateboarder Ray Underhill, a member of the Powell-Peralta Bones Brigade, battled chordoma for two years before succumbing to his disease in August 2008.
Cary Tennis, the popular advice columnist for Salon.com, announced in his column of November 19, 2009, that he had been diagnosed with a chordoma.

One of the advantages of music programs like Idea Star Singer is that it brings back to our attention some songs we knew, but had forgotten. Two recent episodes percolated two such songs to our attention. Each of those songs bring joy to the listener. It also tells us that we are blessed to have such talented music directors, lyricists and singers of to bring it to life.
So enjoy.
The picturisation of these two songs are studies in contrast. Srinivasan moves the story through the song. You would be engrossed in the song. The second video , is from the movie Mazhavillu. Wish they had chosen an actress who would have done justice to the voice of KS Chitra.

Artwork: Nathan Bebb
Hang onto your tinfoil helmet, because today we're going to rocket into the history books and see for ourselves exactly what fell out of the sky in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.
In July of that year, a balloon train came down on the Foster Ranch, 75 miles northwest of Roswell, New Mexico. Rancher "Mac" Brazel, who had been reading about flying saucers, reported it to the local Sheriff, who in turn reported a crashed flying saucer to a Major Jesse Marcel at Roswell Army Air Field, but not before the local press heard about it. The debris, totaling some five pounds of foil and aluminum and described in detail by Mac Brazel, was recovered by officials from Roswell Army Air Field. These balloon trains were long ultra low frequency antennas designed to detect Soviet nuclear tests, held aloft by a large number of balloons, and were known as Project Mogul. With Marcel's press release in hand, the Roswell Daily Record reported that a Flying Saucer was captured, and the following day, printed a correction that it was merely a weather balloon, along with an interview with Mac Brazel, who deeply regretted all the unwanted publicity generated by his misidentification.
It should be stressed that this was the end of the incident, and nothing further was said or done by anyone, until 1978 (that's 31 years in which nobody remembered or said anything), when the National Enquirer, on what must have been a slow news day, reported the original uncorrected news article from the Roswell Daily Record. UFO fans went nuts. Stanton Friedman, a longtime UFO proponent, started interviewing everyone he could find who was still alive who had been connected with the incident and began constructing all sorts of elaborate conspiracies. These primarily centered around Major Marcel, who agreed that Friedman's assertion was possible — that the government was covering up an actual alien spacecraft.
Two years later in 1980, UFO proponents William Moore and Charles Berlitz published The Roswell Incident. There wasn't much new information in this book, it was essentially a collection of suppositions and interviews with a few people who were still alive, or their relatives. Even so, by this point, it's important to note that the story really had not grown beyond the question of what debris had actually been recovered from the Foster Ranch in 1947.
Upon the book's publication, the National Enquirer tracked down Marcel and published their own interview with him. This was all well and good, but since there still wasn't any new information or any evidence that Roswell was anything other than the Project Mogul balloon, things quieted down for a long time.
The story finally started to break open for real in 1989. The TV show Unsolved Mysteries devoted an episode to an imaginative "reconstruction" of what some of these authors had written. The national exposure of a TV show reached a man named Glenn Dennis, who was quite elderly by now but who had worked as a young mortician in Roswell in 1947, and had provided contract mortuary services to Roswell Army Air Field. Dennis contacted Stanton Friedman, and told him the story that was to become the basis for almost all modern UFO lore.
Virtually all popular details of the story of an alien crash at Roswell are based upon the personal recollections of Glenn Dennis. He hadn't thought about the subject for 42 years, until he saw the TV show. Suddenly he started putting two and two together, tying together bits and pieces of this and that from his memory, and with the help of Stanton Friedman, connected the dots and wove the fabric of modern Roswell mythology. Authors Schmitt and Randle published Friedman's interview in UFO Crash at Roswell, published in 1991. This was the point that all the best-known details were invented: the multiple crash sites, the alien bodies recovered, the child-sized coffins, aliens walking around the base, a red-haired colonel making death threats, and the disappearance of a nurse who knew too much. 1991, sports fans; not 1947.
What's worse is that Glenn Dennis' memory doesn't seem to handle dates very well. Air Force researchers have successfully been able to corroborate nearly all of Dennis' recollections, but what they found was that while nearly all the events he remembered did in fact happen, they happened over a span of 12 years; not around a single incident in 1947. Let us now go through a few of the most significant points from the pop history of the Roswell incident, one by one:
- At his mortuary in Roswell, Dennis received a call asking him to give a ride to an airman injured in a traffic accident.
- At the base, Dennis noticed an ambulance filled with wreckage that looked like the bottom of a blue canoe, guarded by MP's.
- Dennis was ejected from the base by a big red-headed colonel who threatened him with death if he revealed anything of what he had seen.
- Dennis tried to telephone a nurse that he knew, but was rebuffed by a head nurse nicknamed Slatts, and whose real name was Captain Wilson.
- The next day, Dennis successfully met with his nurse friend, who was quite upset over an autopsy on three bodies which she described as black, mangled, and little.
- Dennis learned of the inability of staff to perform an autopsy due to overpowering fumes from the bodies, which were then hastily moved.
- All further efforts to reach the nurse were unsuccessful, he was told she was deceased, and Dennis never saw her again.
- A creature with a huge head was seen walking into the base medical center "under its own power".
And now let's look at what each of these events really was, and why they couldn't possibly have all been part of something that happened in July 1947:
- Dennis' trip to the base to deliver the injured airman is not likely to have happened in July of 1947, as the rank of airman did not exist until the United States Army Air Forces became the United States Air Force in September of 1947. Note that Roswell Army Air Field was renamed Walker Air Force Base at that time as well.
- Dennis' description of the contents of an Air Force ambulance are consistent with its normal appearance, which includes two steel panels shaped like the bottom of a canoe and painted Air Force blue.
- Only one tall captain or colonel with red hair was ever assigned to the base, and that was Col. Lee Ferrell, who began his service at the base in 1956. Dennis also remembered that the threatening colonel was accompanied by a black sergeant, which is also virtually impossible for 1947. The Air Force did not begin racial integration until 1949. Dennis was probably recalling some episode that happened in or after 1956, and keep in mind he was still stretching his memory over 30 years.
- The head nurse, Captain Wilson, has been identified as Idabelle Miller, who later married and became Major Wilson. She did not begin her service there until 1956. "Slatts" was well known to be Lt. Col. Lucille Slattery, a different person, who also did not arrive at Roswell until after the Roswell Incident. In her case the timing was much closer, only one month afterward; but one month too late is still too late.
- Dennis' nurse friend has been positively identified as Lt. Eileen Mae Fanton, who was in service there during the Roswell Incident. More on her in a moment.
- In 1956, a KC-97G aircraft crashed, killing all 11 crewmen in an intense cabin fire. Most were missing limbs and were largely burned away, resulting in small, black, mangled corpses. Due to intense fumes from the fuel soaking the bodies, the procedure had to be hastily moved to a refrigerated unit at the commissary. Three of the bodies were autopsied at Dennis' mortuary in Roswell, which Dennis described as small, black, and mangled. It's entirely likely that Dennis' encounter with the angry redheaded colonel took place during this exceptionally emotional and difficult time for the small local Air Force community.
- The reason Dennis ceased being able to reach Lt. Fanton was that she had been taken to Brooke General Hospital in Texas for emergency treatment of a pre-diagnosed medical condition which ultimately led to her medical retirement in 1955. This information was withheld from Dennis simply due to patient privacy laws.
- The sighting of a creature with a huge head walking into the hospital is consistent with the injury of Captain Dan Fulgham in 1959, who was struck on the head by a balloon gondola. His forehead and face developed an extensive hematoma which swelled to quite a magnificent size. He said he didn't feel too bad, and actually hung out smoking a cigarette and walking around with a head the size of a beachball.
Now, obviously I have to leave a lot of details out since this is a 10-minute podcast and can't possibly address the billions of data points that the UFO proponents have thrown out there (if you remember my episode on logical fallacies, you'll recognize that technique as Proof by Verbosity). If you're truly interested in the actual explanation of some detail you've heard, download the Roswell Incident PDF report from the Air Force at af.mil, or get a copy of the free Roswell Report: Case Closed book by Captain James MacAndrew and published by the Air Force. These publications are not a desperate coverup by the Air Force, they were required by the General Accounting Office's official inquiry made to address the clamor of Freedom of Information Act demands from UFO proponents. They contain a tremendous amount of detail and are quite entertaining reading for anyone interested in Roswell or the Air Force's early history.
But about every year or two, someone else pops up with some new claim about what happened in 1947. Just this year, a Lieutenant Walter Haut died, leaving a written story about having been shown a crashed alien spacecraft, but he lacks credibility. The stories he told about his experience at Roswell grew and grew over the years. And, as the president of the International UFO Museum, he had a clear commercial interest in promoting these stories. Even less believable are the stories of Philip Corso, who co-authored a fictionalized retelling titled The Day After Roswell. Among Corso's claims are that lasers, Kevlar, fiber optics, and integrated circuits all came from the Roswell spacecraft. Since the true origins of all of these technologies are well established in the real world, even other UFO researchers discount most of Corso's fancy tales.
So when you look at a story like Roswell, look at it skeptically. One account is of mundane everyday activities, that are fully supported by hard evidence at every step; and the other version is wild, far out, and comes in many conflicting versions, none of which have any supporting evidence whatsoever. What does a responsibly skeptical process support?
Correction: An earlier version of this referred to Friedman as an "obsessed UFO wacko". Whatever the accuracy of that characterization, it was not appropriate to be included here.

Sorry, Klaatu was out chem spraying on september 3 and crashed into its server complex.
Aliens havent got a good grip on geography or landing after all these decades.
You know for a guard Bot I get one hell of a service out of it but I'd like an upgrade rather than endless software updates from ε Canis.
The wifi is horrendous and like klaatu, the software always crashes.
I wish I had a bot as smart as a paramecium.

An alien ship crashing? An alien ship with advance technology which enables them (its) to travel vast distances via either worm holes or bending space or time, crashing? I think the possibility of that occurring is the same as mouse being born on the Sun.
Its a good engineering result Guy. The relative error in coordinates is about as small as one could imagine.
Who knows what aliens think is often begged around here...well they obviously havent thought of landing wheels.
We wont have to worry about those bozo's.
Remember, the notions of brakes and steering wheels were absent when the first automobile like vehicles were invented.
By the time the news gets back to the original alien planet they will certainly have forgotten about us.
You have to love the stories alienophiles bring up...

It is all explained in the Futurama episode 'All's Well that Roswell'. The crashed UFO was bits of Bender and Zoidberg was mistaken for an Alien - no, sorry, Zoidberg WAS an Alien. Oh yes, and Fry is his own Grandfather. When I saw that, THEN I understood what happened at Roswell in 1947.
I also find it hard to believe that an alien vehicle that could travel across interstellar space - risking a devastating collision with even a single particle of dust -could ,upon reaching Earth, suddenly crash.
Guy and sbo I see you put too much faith in advance tech.
No matter how advanced any tech is there is always that one time, combinations of factors and/or just dumb luck that causes everything to fail.
How many times have we heard with new computers, cars, ect "opps this should not have happened".
But somehow aliens have no faults?
Of all the skeptical theories this one is by far the lamest given.
One thing not touched on here was the alleged strange nature of the debris found on the Brazel ranch.It was reported by several witnesses that it could not be cut,burnt or crumpled.
Has anyone explained why the base intelligence officer Major Jesse Marcel Sr thought enough of the debris to wake his sleeping son to examine it? The boy was old enough to vividly recall the incident,and later became a physician,which speaks to his native intelligence.
If the material could not be cut, burned or crumpled... how did it end up in tiny crumpled pieces all over the Brazel ranch?
If it was so impressive, why did Mr. Brazel leave it out in his fields for several days, and only pick it up when he was ready to move his sheep to that location?
Lastly, why are all these fantastic reports coming to light now that the people who were originally involved are dead and unable to verify them? Why are the original reports and documents so sparse when it seems everyone and their dog got to look at, examine, spectrograph and make Christmas ornaments out of the debris?
One must remember that the late 1940s was a different time,without tales of alien abduction and the like.
Brazel,from what I recall reading,was more concerned with the fact his sheep avoided the debris field more than the fact it had unusual properties.
I think it speaks to the low key way of life in small town New Mexico at that time with people who didn't dwell on tales of flying saucers.
I never said there was something to it.I just was pointing out that Jesse Marcel Sr displayed unusual debris to his son,who was 10 years old,if I recall correctly.The son latter grew up and became a practicing physician,which should indicate he was bright enough to judge the material he was shown as odd.
Cyril wecht..the forensic who did the alien autopsy ,lived in Squirrel Hill outside of Pittsburgh ,Pa..were i lived years ago I worked for high end decorating company named Fischetti decorating, anyway long story short we did interior work for Mr Wecht he was one of the most respected individuals in Pittsburgh. He was the county coroner in Pittsburgh and one the most respected coroners in the country.He also examined president Kennedy after his assassination. ..Though anyway i had achance to breifly ask him about the Roswell alien autopsy..he simply told me it was a compltetly staged movie that he was asked to be in to give it the appearance of credibility .just s movie that he was paid to be in..and any alien beliefs regarding Roswell are hoaxed ,or spread to be the truth by people who dont know any better..

There have been lots of reports in the media about a rush of requests for digital converter box coupons. [note the helpful countdown to digital TV from the government!]
Implied is that this rush of millions of coupon requests shows how the government is out in front of the big [yet, I believe meaningless] deadline to switch to digital TV in February, 2009. At least that's what the NTIA would have you believe.
Hogwash. I'd bet that most of those requests are coming from speculators that will hope to resell the coupons later on EBay. The people who really need them, the 15 million or so households receiving over the air broadcast television only, are way too unplugged to have responded so quickly to the offer.
UPDATE: Yet another reason it's likely the deadline will be pushed back, even if the word does somehow get out to everyone who needs one there won't be enough converters!

Richmond, Va. (November 13, 2012) In laboratory experiments, scientists have eliminated metastasis, the spread of cancer from the original tumor to other parts of the body, in melanoma by inhibiting a protein known as melanoma differentiation associated gene-9 (mda-9)/syntenin. More than 1 million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year in the U.S., and melanoma is the deadliest form. With further research, the approach used by the scientists could lead to targeted therapies that stop metastasis in melanoma and potentially a broad range of additional cancers.
The study published online in the journal Cancer Research was led by Paul B. Fisher, M.Ph., Ph.D., Thelma Newmeyer Corman Endowed Chair in Cancer Research and program co-leader of Cancer Molecular Genetics at Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center, chairman of VCU's Department of Human and Molecular Genetics and director of the VCU Institute of Molecular Medicine. Fisher and his colleagues found that Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP) interacted with and suppressed mda-9/syntenin. Mda-9/syntenin was originally cloned in Fisher's laboratory, and was shown in previous studies to interact with another protein, c-Src, to start a series of chemical reactions that lead to increased metastasis.
"Prior research suggests that RKIP plays a seminal role in inhibiting cancer metastasis, but, until now, the mechanisms underlying this activity were not clear," says Fisher. "In addition to providing a new target for future therapies, there is potential for using these two genes as biomarkers for monitoring melanoma development and progression."
Through their experiments, the scientists discovered that RKIP physically binds with mda-9/syntenin, and this physical interaction inhibits mda-9/syntenin expression. This finding opens the possibility of developing small molecules that mimic RKIP to be used as drugs to treat metastasis in melanoma and other cancers.

Apartments for Rent | Search By State | Delaware Apartments
Folks who live in Delaware are variously known as Delawareans, as Muskrats, or as "Blue Hen's Chickens." Though the state has a population of less than a million residents, its size in no way correlates with its historical significance: Delaware was in fact the first of the 50 states to be admitted to the Union, in December 1787. The state is also noteworthy for being one of the only southern states to opt out of the secession movement during the Civil War.
The largest cities in Delaware, aside from the capital of Dover, are Newark and Wilmington. Looking for apartments in Dover might be your plan if you're involved with the military; the city is the site of Dover Air Force Base, which has the somber distinction of being the site where the bodies of soldiers killed overseas return to the United States. Apartments for rent in Delaware might also be of particular interest to those working in the industrial chemical sector, as both DuPont and Syngenta operate out of Delaware. Large banking lenders including Citigroup and Bank of America also call this state home. If you're looking for apartments for rent but are not sure what Delaware has to offer, visit VisitDelaware.com to learn more about the state's beaches, trails, museums, parks and scenic Brandywine Valley, where according to the New York Times history, nature and art converge.
The University of Delaware ranks among the top 300 universities in the country, according to Forbes.com, and the state also is home to the A.U.M.P. Church; founded in Wilmington in the early 1800s, the church has the distinction of being the oldest African American church in the country.
