Sorry We're Not Sorry
By: Jessica Leigh Neufeld '15 | march, 2014
Canadians are one of the most underrepresented minorities in the world. We simply blend in, trying not to offend. I bet you didn't even know we are at least a dozen strong here at Booth.
Think Tinder Cuts to the chase? Try Business School
By: Anonymous '15 | march, 2014
After exchanging a few pleasantries I found myself in a cozy restaurant with a tall, dark, and handsome guy with a career Boothies would kill for. Exactly what a girl wants, right? And all it took was one right swipe.
Community and Coding: A Booth Hacks Retrospective
By: Pratyush Rastogi '15 | march, 2014
"Well MBAs are useful to startups because you know how to sell...if you're an MBA who can code then you're even more useful. And if you don't know how to code... f'n learn how to code!" The above quote, which was passionately stated to us during a meeting with a Booth alumnus who was running a healthcare technology startup, had a profound effect on Jake Walker and me. Within 20 minutes of leaving that meeting we had a name and a plan - Booth Hacks, an 8 week course that teaches Booth students the basics of coding. We thought students would love it because they could finally understand developers, be more useful to employers, and create mockups for their products/websites when launching their startups.

Redemption: DeOliveira Delivers Vs. W&L
by Jac Coyne | Lacrosse Magazine Online Staff | Coyne Archive | Twitter
|Wittenberg goalie Mark DeOliveira lasted just 15
minutes against Washington & Lee last year as the Generals hung
six goals on his in the first quarter. On Saturday, DeOliveira
shutout W&L in the fourth quarter, helping the Tigers grab a
huge road victory.
© Erin Pence/Wittenberg University
It was not a good day for Matt DeOliveira.
With Wittenberg hoping to knock off Washington & Lee last February, the Tigers' starting goalie laid an egg. After 15 minutes, DeOliveira, then a junior, allowed six goals and made just three saves, allowing the Generals to coast to a 10-4 victory over Wittenberg.
"He did not play well against W&L last year," said Wittenberg coach George Harris, succinctly.
It was one of the few hiccups for DeOliveira during the 2010 campaign. He finished with a 7-3 record, a 7.73 goals against average and a 58.0 save percentage, and was crucial in helping Wittenberg share the NCAC championship and earn its first-ever bid to the NCAA tournament.
On Saturday, DeOliveira had a chance to make amends for last year on the same field. He didn't waste the opportunity.
DeOliveira allowed just six goals and made 12 saves, stifling the Washington & Lee offense late in the contest and permitting the Tigers to rally from a three-goal deficit to take the 7-6 victory.
"It always starts with Mark DeOliveira," said Harris, who is the first Wittenberg coach to post a victory over Washington & Lee. "He's a senior and a three-time captain, so we expect him to make the big plays when we need them."
The Tigers needed them late in the game, and that's when DeOliveira stood tall.
With Wittenberg trailing, 6-5, at the start of the fourth quarter and goals hard to come by, a W&L goal would have likely been a game-ender. The Generals pushed hard for it, but DeOliveira never relented, making seven saves in the fourth. Meanwhile, Matt Lord and Tyler Hall scored 42 seconds apart to give the visitors a lead and the eventual 7-6 victory.
A year after being yanked and watching the final three quarters of a loss on the bench, DeOliveira was the difference in a massive win for the Tigers. With Pool B expanding to four bids this year, a win over a power conference team like Washington & Lee is a key ingredient for Wittenberg's return trip to the NCAA tournament this spring.
Tack on the presence of a favorable schedule – Wittenberg could easily be 9-0 heading into the April 16 contest against No. 15 Denison – and 2011 is already shaping up to be a promising one for the Tigers.
For DeOliveira, it's been more than promising. It has provided redemption.

Samsung Electronics Ltd. introduces the world's first Serial ATA II hard drives that are currently shipping and available to consumers. Samsung offers a complete family of Serial ATA II hard drives featuring an 80GB platter including its new 80GB HD080HJ ($93 estimated street price), 120GB HD120IJ ($120) and 160GB HD160JJ ($150).
Samsung's new Serial ATA II hard drives support native 3.0GB per second (Gbps) I/O transaction capabilities in addition to Serial ATA Native Command Queuing. The 3.0 Gbps speed doubles the 1.5 Gbps data transfer rate of current Serial ATA hard drives. With an increased transfer rate, the faster the speed of the PC.
"Samsung prides itself being on the forefront of cutting-edge technologies and the ability bring to market these technologies at super-accelerated speeds," states Albert Kim, National Sales Manager, Storage Systems for Samsung SSI. "Samsung's new line up of Serial ATA II hard drives showcases its commitment to offering its customers the most high-end products available today and gives enterprise, PC and entertainment consumers alike the opportunity to experience the power of this global giant firsthand."
Samsung's new Serial ATA II hard drives are ideal solutions for today's demanding enterprise applications. Serial ATA II hard drives offer several benefits over classic parallel ATA drives. Serial ATA technology allows for an unlimited number of hard drives with a system. Once a hard drive has reached it maximum capacity, users no longer need to go through the hassle and aggravation of replacing the drive with a larger capacity unit. Serial ATA allows for the "daisy chaining" of drives via sleek and slim cables. This allows users to store virtually an unlimited amount of data by simply adding additional drives to their system.
With the increased data transfer rate, Samsung's Serial ATA II hard drives provide a more complete offering that enterprise solution companies are used to with traditional SCSI hard drives. At just $130, the HD160JJ is a high-end, affordable and more economical solution for enterprise applications than current SCSI drives. In addition, Samsung's Serial ATA II drives are perfect for network and RAID systems that use multiple drives simultaneously, as well as for digital video and streaming video systems, such as on-demand movies.
Samsung's Serial ATA II drives are also terrific for high-end gaming applications. With the super-fast 3.0 Gbps data transfer rate, data can be accessed quicker and easier than ever before, eliminating "hiccups" and creating a smooth and more luxurious gaming environment.
All new Samsung Serial ATA II hard drives feature a 7,200 rpm spindle speed, an 8.9 millisecond average seek time and a 8MB cache buffer. Samsung offers the quietest drives in the industry today utilizing its patented NoiseGuard(TM) and SilentSeek(TM) cutting-edge technologies.

Hi DSTile gurus,
I've run into an odd problem with what_nick's win32 port of DSTile. It seems to skip over several tiles that contains almost solid colors or very near black images. Specifically, I'm tiling the BMNG data and it will not produce a tile for specific areas in the ocean where the whole tile is solid dark blue.
This entire exercise is more of a learning process for me, and in the last few weeks I've gone from a new user to tiling for WW. Here's the blow by blow of what I'm doing:
1. I've got the WW cache pack of BMNG tiles as a reference. 17,051 files for January.
2. I went and downloaded the "world.topo.bathy.200401.3x21600x21600.p anels.png" source files from NASA and wanted to re-tile them.
3. Using gdal_translate, I reprojected them as GeoTIFF files using the following commands:
So far, so good. The gdalinfo now gave me the proper locations for each of the GeoTIFF files produced.Code:gdal_translate -of GTiff -a_srs "+proj=latlong +datum=WGS84" -a_ullr -180 90 -90 0 world.topo.bathy.200401.3x21600x21600.A1.png A1.tif gdal_translate -of GTiff -a_srs "+proj=latlong +datum=WGS84" -a_ullr -90 90 0 0 world.topo.bathy.200401.3x21600x21600.B1.png B1.tif gdal_translate -of GTiff -a_srs "+proj=latlong +datum=WGS84" -a_ullr 0 90 90 0 world.topo.bathy.200401.3x21600x21600.C1.png C1.tif gdal_translate -of GTiff -a_srs "+proj=latlong +datum=WGS84" -a_ullr 90 90 180 0 world.topo.bathy.200401.3x21600x21600.D1.png D1.tif gdal_translate -of GTiff -a_srs "+proj=latlong +datum=WGS84" -a_ullr -180 0 -90 -90 world.topo.bathy.200401.3x21600x21600.A2.png A2.tif gdal_translate -of GTiff -a_srs "+proj=latlong +datum=WGS84" -a_ullr -90 0 0 -90 world.topo.bathy.200401.3x21600x21600.B2.png B2.tif gdal_translate -of GTiff -a_srs "+proj=latlong +datum=WGS84" -a_ullr 0 0 90 -90 world.topo.bathy.200401.3x21600x21600.C2.png C2.tif gdal_translate -of GTiff -a_srs "+proj=latlong +datum=WGS84" -a_ullr 90 0 180 -90 world.topo.bathy.200401.3x21600x21600.D2.png D2.tif
4. Now I fired up DSTile (using FWTools version 2.3.0) and used this command:
Once the tiling was finished, most all the tiles perfectly matched the original cache pack, except a few were missing. My tile operation produced only 16,851 files.Code:dstile tile --lztsd 36 --wwcache --png --overviews output_tiles A1.tif A2.tif B1.tif B2.tif C1.tif C2.tif D1.tif D2.tif
I went to compare a few tiles and found that most of the tiles there were not produced are in the middle of the ocean. The jpg version in the tile pack show these tiles are very plain in content. Some are almost completely full of blue pixels (colored r:2 g:5 b:20) with maybe 5 pixels of a slightly different shade blue (colored r:2 g:5 b:22).
A few examples can be found in this folder: "BMNG (Shaded + Bathymetry) Tiled - 1.2004\4\0012". There should be 160 tiles, but my test only produced 132 tiles. A few that are missing include: 0012_0025, 0012_0029, 0012_0030, and 0012_3032 to 0012_0035. Several other folders contain a few missing files here and there around the globe, but they all share the same characteristic of having little to no data other than a solid color.
I've tried re-tiling using jpg and got the exact same results. Same files are missing from level 4.
I've tried re-tiling using FWTools 1.4.2 (the same version DSTile was built alongside), but with the same results again.
What am I missing here? Why does DSTile or the gdal tools it uses not output those tiles?
Oh, and "Hi" World Wind Central. I must have spent the better part of the last 2 weeks reading postings here learning about Tiling and Serving data for WW. Awesome collection of knowledge!

- 8 large shallots, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns
- Julienned Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Chill 8 serving plates. Place meat in freezer about 10 minutes.

Slice cold beef across grain into 1/8-inch slices. Then place each slice, one at a time, between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and, using the smooth side of a meat pounder, flatten by gently pounding and pressing back and forth. Work from center out. Keep turning to flatten it evenly to about 1/16 inch. (You should spend about a minute on each slice.)
Entirely cover each chilled plate with thin slices of beef. (At this stage, you can cover with plastic wrap and reserve in refrigerator for several hours.) Carefully spoon reserved dressing over meat to evenly cover. Garnish with Parmesan strips and chives, and serve immediately.

Forty years ago, the Baltimore Orioles had arguably the greatest pitching rotation of all time. Back then, four pitchers won over 20 games for the O's. In 2011, just two won over 10 games. My, how things have changed.
Last season, the Orioles had the worst rotation in baseball, posting a 5.39 ERA that was a full 1.3 runs above the league average. Their 60 quality starts were 11 behind the second-to-last Colorado Rockies, and not surprisingly, their 5.4 innings per start ranked last by a wide margin. Only three starters won over four games, and 24-year-old Brian Matusz, the presumed ace entering the season, finished 1-9 with a 10.69 ERA.
Just a little over two years ago, Baseball America praised the Orioles for their "volume of arms with legitimate promise". Now, no one is sure what to think.
With ten candidates fighting for five rotation spots, quite a bit remains unanswered heading into spring:
-Will any of new GM Dan Duquette's offseason acquisitions (Dana Eveland, Wei-Yin Chen & Tsuyoshi Wada) even make the staff?
-Can Tommy Hunter return to the numbers he posted in Texas?
-Will the former top prospects (Brian Matusz, Zach Britton, Chris Tillman) show any sort of consistency?
For now, here's a look at what to expect from the Orioles staff come Opening Day 2012:

Scottish Novelist Iain Banks Dies Of Cancer At 59
Scottish author Iain Banks has died after a battle with gall bladder cancer. The famed writer died at age 59 on Sunday, two months after he announced that he was terminally ill.
"Iain Banks' ability to combine the most fertile of imaginations with his own highly distinctive brand of gothic humour made him unique," his publisher, Little, Brown and Company, said in a statement. "(He was) an irreplaceable part of the literary world (and) one of the country's best-loved novelists."
Banks was successful at writing both literary fiction and science fiction (for which he used the pen name Iain M. Banks), and fellow novelist and pal Ian Rankin says that despite his friend's success he still may have had some of his best writing years ahead of him.
"He does leave behind a substantial body of work. He was 59. Writers tend to go on to their 70s and 80s and beyond, they don't stop writing," Rankin told BBC Radio Scotland. "In some ways he was a machine, he was doing a book a year - a sci-fi novel, then a straight novel, then a sci fi novel.
"The writing still excited him, the ideas still excited him, there was no shortage of ideas, he wasn't coming to the end of his time as a writer."
Banks aspired to be a writer at the age of 11 and wrote his first novel (unpublished) by the age of 16. His first published novel, "The Wasp Factory," was released when he was 30 in 1984. He wrote 14 more books and nearly a dozen sci-fi stories.
Ironically, Banks's final novel, "The Quarry," tells the story of the final weeks of a character with terminal cancer. "The Quarry" will be released on June 20.
Banks is survived by his second wife Adele.

Random rambles from a village minister:1
So I was in this school ready to do an assembly. I love doing assemblies and schools work: often I think 'Wow, I get paid for this'.
The teacher was showing me the new 'collective worship' area. In the middle of that refurbished area was a sweeping brush. 'I'd better get rid of that' she said.
I asked for it to stay there and improvised an assembly about John the Baptist making the way clear and preparing for Christmas. And then the brush was put away.
Pity: I would have preferred for it to stay there. The whole Christmas story is about ordinary stuff and ordinary people being used. It doesn't have very much to say about holy and pristine places or everything in it's proper position….

U.N. Report: Crisis Will Keep Children Out of School
The world financial crisis not only hurt balance sheets but could sabotage poor countries' efforts to get more children into school, according to a report released Tuesday by the U.N. education agency.
UNESCO urges more funding and attention for those shut out of education systems such as ethnic minorities and rural girls, who make up a disproportionate part of the legions of school-age children who have never seen the inside of a classroom.
Some 72 million children were out of school in 2007, and the report estimates that 56 million will remain out of school in 2015.
"Rich countries have mobilized a financial mountain to stabilize their financial systems and protect vital social and economic infrastructure, but they have provided an aid molehill for the world's poor," the chief author of the Education for All Global Monitoring Report, Kevin Watkins, said in a statement.
As the global financial market crisis hit economies worldwide, wealthy countries cut back on their aid to poor countries, even as the developing countries themselves suffered budget shortfalls and slashed their own education spending, the report says.
Families in poor countries, meanwhile, have kept children home from school as unemployment rose and remittances diminished.
Rich countries, with their budgetary cushions and borrowing potential, were able to invest in public services and some, such as the United States, made domestic education a priority in their stimulus packages.
The report says poor countries will need $16 billion (€11.21 billion) more a year if they are to meet goals laid out in 2000, when 164 countries pledged to make free primary education available to all children, and to work toward eliminating adult illiteracy and ending gender disparities in education.
Even if the goals still seem elusive, the trend over the past decade has been positive. The number of children out of school has dropped by 33 million worldwide since 1999, even as global population rose.
The report praises countries such as Benin, which has made dramatic strides in getting more children in school, both boys and girls, urban and rural.
But 80 percent of girls in Yemen are not in school and may never get there. And the report's authors note that even in countries such as Kenya, seen as an economic model for some other African countries, 95 percent of rural girls get less than two years of schooling.
The report by the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization focuses in particular on the marginalized, those not reached by traditional government schooling efforts. It says governments must make more effort to extend education to those speaking minority languages, such as Turkey's Kurds.

Period: Late Period, Kushite
Dynasty: Dynasty 25
Date: ca. 713–664 B.C.
Geography: From Egypt and Sudan, Nubia
Medium: Bronze; precious-metal leaf
Dimensions: h. 7.6 cm (3 in.); w. 3.2 cm (1 1/4 in); d. 3.6 cm (1 3/8 in)
Credit Line: Purchase, Lila Acheson Wallace Gift and Anne and John V. Hansen Egyptian Purchase Fund, 2002
Accession Number: 2002.8
This small figure has a very large aura—its taut beauty and bold features express an intense energy and focus. That it is a Kushite pharaoh of Egypt is clear from its distinctive Sudanese regalia, discernible despite the efforts of an Egyptian king, ruling some seventy years later, to make the statuette more suitably conformist: the ram's-head necklace was hammered out, the Kushite double uraeus was recut to a single one, and the king's name on the belt was erased. The cap crown with a falcon engraved in the back, the bandeau with streamers, and the diadem with many tiny uraei were left untouched. The king's narrowed eyes and large, forward-thrusting jaw do not resemble the few identifiable images of the Kushite kings, which disproportionately represent Taharqo (r. ca. 690–664 B.C.). A relatively early date is possible for the present object.
When the Kushites conquered Egypt in the mid-eighth century B.C., they saw themselves as recapturing part of an ancient homeland that had fallen away from proper observance of the gods. Consequently, their rule is distinguished by fine bronze temple statuary—small, kneeling kings meant to match the small, precious-metal divine image in the temple, to insulate it through devotion, to satisfy the gods, and to restore their blessings to Egypt.

Quick report on error on the landing page and this page: http://runwaywp.com/explore

Hope beginners or designers step ahead quickly with it.
Really nice to see it. Keep up your good work
We feel the same. Runway makes it a little easier to transition into WordPress and bridges the gap for designers without a lot of development knowledge.

Quick report on error on the landing page and this page: http://runwaywp.com/explore
We've been tweaking the login system and that might be what you were seeing. Let us know if you still get errors on the site and we'll get that fixed.
Hi, i'm very new to all this but and after spending the last day or two looking at various frameworks i stumbled up on this so thought i'd try it out.
I've installed on 2 different servers with 2 different hosts (VPS.net & Media Temple) and i just get error after error. Can't install extensions on one and the other didn't even install the Lift Off child theme.
One had 6 failed tests, the other 4.
I guess this isn't really aimed at beginners like myself but it's put me off completely i'm afraid.
I'm sorry you had trouble. We've built the Runway framework with the intention of anyone being able to use it. Right now it is best suited for someone wanting to make a custom theme, but using the default child theme it can also work as "site builder" framework. That's where the child theme's become useful. We currently only have the one child theme but there will be more starter themes added to the repository.
When you see those "failed tests" it is alerting you that certain folders or settings aren't configured. By clicking the link in that message you will be taken to the "Reports" screen with a button at the top labeled, "Fix all issues" which should resolve everything with a single click.
In the update we're preparing right now, those issues are automatically resolved before the notice is shown. This way you wouldn't even need to access that page.
If you need any help or have support questions we're here to provide any assistance we can. There is a dedicated support forum on the main framework site: http://runwaywp.com/support/
We're always looking for ways to improve Runway to make it even better. It's this kind of feedback from users like yourself that helps us find ways to streamline setup and make Runway easier to use. We hope you'll let us know more about the things you saw and any suggestions you have so we can continue to improve Runway.
Christmas is coming earlier this year for me!!!
This is a really great gift, I don't have enough words to thank you, I started playing with Runway yesterday and I'm loving it!
Thank you so much Parallelus, you really opened a big door for me and many others
That is really great to hear. We're keeping busy adding even more awesome features. We've just finished an update to select individual Extensions to install as plugins. This way, no matter how you structure your code, it stays 100% compliant with the ThemeForest phase 2 requirements.
We're really interested in knowing your feedback, features you would like and anything else you can think of to make Runway even better. We may be spending some time working directly with designers and developers to help them build themes and get started releasing products.
If you have suggestions we want to know about them. We're eager to add new functionality to make Runway even more useful. Visit our support forum and tell us what you need to make Runway your perfect theme development environment.http://runwaywp.com/support/
We're also finishing a new Runway theme right now to be released on ThemeForest later this month. We have a promotion going specific to our new theme, you can get it free before the release, so be sure to subscribe to our Twitter feed (https://twitter.com/runwaywp) and we'll post details there very soon.
For someone who is possibly looking into starting WordPress development this looks like it could come in quite handy.
Really looking forward to using this in the future.
Have you guys thought about taking donations? I'm sure authors who use it, and appreciate it wouldn't mind donating to keep development possible .

For sure! I'm already on the forum and following on Twitter.
I'd like to book one of those "collaborations" between you and designers/developers
Thanks! Let us know your thoughts and any questions you have. We're here to help.
Thanks for the support. We are planning some premium add-ons and services that are designed to support the project. We recognize how important it is that an open source project has a way to support the development and ensure it sustains. Nobody wants to invest time and money in a project that won't be around long. We've planned for the long term and Runway here to stay.

TAMAHOKO MARU (Saturday, June 24, 1944)
Part of a convoy sailing towards Japan with 772 Australian, British and American
prisoners of war on board. With the lights of Japan in sight, one of the ships in
the convoy, exploded after being torpedoed by the US submarine
USS Tang. Nearby, the Tamahoko Maru was almost blown
apart and water poured in through a gaping hole in her side. On top of the main
hatch cover 80 men were sleeping. Not one of them survived. As the Tamahoko (6,780
tons) settled in the water, hundreds of prisoners jumped into the sea and soon a
Japanese whale-chaser appeared and started picking up survivors. The final count
was that 560 POWs had died. Of the 267 Australians on board only
72 survived. Fifteen US soldiers and sailors were killed as well as thirteen
merchant seamen rescued from the sunk freighter "American Leader".
Next day, 212 survivors of the Tamahoko Maru were brought into the harbour at Nagasaki
to spend the rest of the war in the POW camp, Fukuoka 13.

Lt. Lance Gibson, AIF, Senior surviving Australian Officer
Sub-Lt Philip Cranefield, RN
This draft was formed at Adek Camp Batavia and began assembling
there on 9th May 1944, the company officers being transferred
from Cycle Camp on 10th May 1944; the men were drawn from Cycle Camp,
Kampong, Macassar, Adek and Buitenzorg. Major Jack Dudley Morris A.I.F.
was in command; and the final draft consisted of four companies
of 150 men and 1 officer, a company of 125 men and one officer
and a H.Q. company of 48. These last two mainly consisted of
a special medical party of 30 doctors and 60 medical orderlies,
2 men acting as priests were included in H.Q. The total number
was 41 officers and 737 men of which 197 were English 42 American
258 Australian and 281 Dutch. The draft was completed in nine
days and was supplied from a Red Cross consignment with shoes
and adequate medical supplies - a feature of the draft was the
almost complete lack of sickness.
The draft embarked a.m. on 19th May 1944 in "Kiska Maru"
of about 3,500 tons, one Dutchman being left at Tanjong
Priok with dysentry [Tanjong Priok was
the port for Batavia, now known as Jakarta]. The ship
sailed for Singapore via Banka Strait and arrived in Keppel Harbour
at 1600 on 22nd May 1944, the prisoners being transported in
lorries to Havelock Road Camp. (A German U-boat of about 2,000
tons with a closed bridge was alongside and provided some interest
as she had two shell-holes in the stern). Indian troops were
in the remainder of the camp and, under a Lieutenant R.I.A.S.C.,
supplied the party out of their own rations. A "glass rod
test" was held during the stay here, as a result of which
1 Australian and 4 Dutchmen were detached from the draft.
At 0800 on 2nd June 1944, 772 men marched from the camp to
the docks and were taken out in landing barges to the ship lying
in the Roads. She was a vessel of between 4,000-5,000 tons, loaded with bauxite, and
the prisoners were put in the forward between-decks under Nos.
2 & 3 hatches- as 300 men slept on deck, everyone was able
to lie full length at night. The ship sailed on 3rd June 1944 and
formed one of a convoy of 11 ships, 3 of which were carrying
prisoners of war, escorted by 4 small corvettes. Naturally all
were apprehensive of submarines, and this feeling was accentuated
when the leading corvette was torpedoed on the night 6th/7th
June 1944.
Kapok lifebelts were provided, but the sergeant of the guard
would not allow them to be issued to the prisoners, but on 8th
June 1944 Major Morris at last succeeded in having them issued. On
11th June 1944 the convoy arrived in Manila Bay anchoring off the
town and stayed 2 days, sailing on the morning of 14th as a convoy
of 10 ships escorted by 3 corvettes, a minelayer and a whaling
ship for Formosa. We proceeded close inshore northward along
the west coast of Luzon for 2 days and on leaving the N.W., point
ran into a heavy storm during which the ship received damage,
and on arrival at Takao on 18th June 1944, began immediately
to discharge her cargo.
The following morning, the draft was transferred to a larger
cargo ship of 6,700 tons -Tamahoku Maru which was
loading quarter cargo of rice and sugar and which also carried
about 500 Japanese servicemen aft, all of whom bore the appearance
of survivors. The accommodation consisted of the forward between
decks which extended from forecastle bulkhead to the bridge under
Nos. 1 & 2 hatches. About 300 men again slept on deck forward,
20 cooks abaft the bridge and the remainder below decks. The
Korean guards were also below, occupying a space on the starboard
side level with No. 2 hatch and the officers slept round the
foremast. Life belts were again provided, but not issued, despite
protests, and were stacked against the ship's side forward of
the guards. Access to the hold was by wooden ladders under each
hatch. There were a number of balsa rafts on deck secured to
the guardrails.
The convoy, consisting of 12 ships escorted by 2 corvettes a
minelayer and the whaling ship, left Takao 20th June, the next
few days being pleasantly cool after the tropics. At 11:50
pm on 24th June 1944, in approximate position 40 miles S.W.
of Nagasaki, we were awoken by an explosion as another ship in
the convoy was torpedoed and within seconds another torpedo hit
our ship just forward of the bridge on the starboard side, blowing
the covers off the hatches. This explosion must have killed many
men sleeping on them and numbers of others on deck are known
to have been struck by falling debris. Also there were now two
large holes in the deck of the hold and many men, rushing for
the ladders which had been blown away, must have fallen into
the cargo. Other men rushed toward the life belts and were so
trapped. Escape by those below was made by means of the iron
ladders under the hatches, or, for the most part, by being washed
out by the sea. It has been estimated that the ship sank in less
than 2 minutes.
The balsa rafts were cut adrift by the late Gunner J. Brookes
(35th Anti-Aircraft Regiment, RA), possibly assisted by the late Chief Engine
Room Artificer Cedric Mellish R.A.N. (HMAS "Perth) who
throughout the draft was most efficient as disciplinary N.C.O. CPO Cedric Erryl Bell Mellish, RAN, of Armidale,
NSW, died in sinking of Tamahoku Maru, 24 Jun 1944.
Finding themselves in the water, most prisoners managed to gain
these rafts or other wreckage and settled down with the Japanese
survivors to wait for dawn, all nationalities helping each other.
Fortunately no depth charges were dropped nearby by the escort
and at dawn a corvette lowered her boats and picked up Japanese,
leaving the prisoners on the wreckage. At about 0700 the small
whaling ship came up and lowered rope ladders. On receipt of
an order from her bridge, the prisoners were allowed on board
and were put on the forecastle deck under a small gun-platform.
This craft specialized in picking up prisoners and was most efficiently
handled during the process. Some men were picked up by boats
from the corvettes and put on board the whaling ship; 2 aircraft
also co-operated. 7 prisoners were picked up by a corvette which
later came practically alongside when they were thrown back into
the sea to swim to the whale-catcher, but unfortunately two non-swimmers
were drowned. A thorough search of the area was made, and as
far as could be seen, no one was left in the water. Four Korean
guards were also saved including one who all along had been most
helpful to Major Morris and this man proved very useful as interpreter
during the rescue and subsequent proceedings.
The. ship with 211 prisoners arrived in Nagasaki at 12:30 pm
and after a cold hungry wait the prisoners were landed at 1800.
During this period a Japanese doctor and two nurses came to treat
the sick, but their sole equipment was Mercurochrome and their
attention most perfunctory.
Lorries transported the prisoners to Fukuoka 14 camp, in the
Mitsubishi factories, where a hot meal, clothes and sleeping
mats were provided. A further survivor was brought in two days
later and later still the ashes of a Dutch doctor and an Australian
private - so it must be presumed that the remaining 560 men lost
their lives in this disaster.

A Captain Takata of the Japanese P.O.W. Information Bureau later
visited the camp to secure a signed statement of the sinking
from the surviving officers. Advantage was taken of this opportunity
to criticize several points, chiefly the entrusting of a draft
of this size to the whim of a sergeant, and his subsequent refusal.
to issue life belts which might have saved more lives, and also
conditions, health etc. in Fukuoka 14 - subsequent improvements
in the camp may well have been due to this visit.
For six weeks, the party lived in crowded conditions in the camp
after which they joined up with the old camp and started work
in the factories. During this period the camp staff were fairly
sympathetic, though comforts and medicines were scarce.

Her third war patrol was one of the most devastating carried out against Japanese shipping during the war. Tang got underway from Pearl Harbor on 8 June and hunted enemy shipping in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea areas. On 24 June 1944, southwest of Kagoshima, the submarine contacted a convoy of six large ships guarded by 16 escorts. Tang
closed for a surface attack and fired a spread of three torpedoes at
one of the ships and quickly launched a similar spread at a second
target. Explosions followed, and Tang reported two ships sunk.
However, postwar examination of Japanese records revealed by the
Japanese government show that two passenger-cargo ships and two
freighters were sunk. The ships must have overlapped, and the torpedo
spread must have hit and sunk two victims in addition to their intended
targets. Those sunk Tamahoko Maru, Tainan Maru, Nasusan Maru, and Kennichi Maru added up to 16,292 long tons (16,553 t) of enemy shipping.
On 30 June 1944, while she patrolled the lane from Kyūshū to Dairen, Tang
sighted another cargo ship steaming without an escort. After making an
end around run on the surface which produced two torpedo misses, Tang went deep to avoid depth charges, then surfaced and chased the hapless ship until she closed the range to 750 yd (690 m). A single torpedo blew Nikkin Maru in half, and the merchantman sank.
The next morning, Tang sighted a tanker and a freighter. While she sank freighter Taiun Maru Number Two, tanker Takatori Maru Number One fled. The submarine trailed until dark, then launched two torpedoes which sent the latter down. Tang
celebrated 4 July at dawn by an end-around, submerged attack on an
enemy freighter which was near shore. However, with rapidly shoaling
water and her keel about to touch bottom, Tang backed off, fired a spread of three with two hits, and then surfaced as survivors of the 6,886 long tons (6,996 t) cargo ship Asukazan Maru were being rescued by fishing boats. That afternoon, Tang sighted Yamaoka Maru,
another cargo ship of approximately the same size, and sank her with
two torpedoes. The submarine surfaced and, with the aid of grapnel hooks
and Thompson submachine guns, rescued a survivor who had been clinging to an overturned lifeboat. While prowling the waters off Dairen late the next night, the submarine sighted a cargo ship and, during a submerged attack with her last two torpedoes, sank Dori Maru. The box score for her third patrol was 10 enemy merchant ships sunk that totaled 39,160 long tons (39,790 t).
Translation -It is good if the name list is taken over, and indeed like to
mention of the name: T. J. Heijstek.
We wish John Winterbotham luck.

RIT's Aquin, Warren Using 2011 As a Catalyst

When the game finally ended against Tufts in the 2011 NCAA Division III semifinals, the RIT players somberly headed toward their locker room after the customary handshakes. Despite being tied heading into the fourth quarter, the Tigers couldn't keep up with the defending champions, bowing 16-12 in their only loss of the year.
Hobbling behind the rest of the team, dressed in street clothes and sporting protective leg apparatus, was a pair of players who were just as devastated as the rest of the team, even though they had both essentially missed the entire season due to injury.
As RIT prepares to play in its first-ever national championship game this Sunday against Stevenson, redshirt sophomore midfielders Kyle Aquin and Allister Warren — the two players who watched that '11 semifinal with aching hearts and throbbing knees — never forgot the magnitude of that contest.
"It's always been a goal for the program, especially the year that we were hurt," Aquin said of winning a national title. "We really learned from the leaders [that year] like Jordan MacIntosh and Chris Cherami. We realized that we had to mimic their play if we wanted any chance and that's kind of how I continued my career; looking back on those guys and what they did. They've kind of driven us to where we are now."
"Even when I was hurt and I wasn't playing, even if we had won that year, I would have probably been just as happy," added Warren. "But finally being able to put my mark on it and contribute to the team — and I'm sure Kyle feels the same way — it's a little more special that we're out there and making an impact on the field."
* * *
Prior to that 2011 season, Aquin was a paragon of health. He never had a surgery or broken bone in his athletic career, which, like many Canadians, included years of time logged on the ice. In a practice just prior to the fourth game of the season against Hartwick, Aquin was giving the first-team defense a look when a hard cut on his left leg tore his ACL, causing him to crumble in a heap. Surgery would be needed.
Warren never even made it to his first spring practice. In October of his freshman year, he went to the training room complaining of knee pain, only to find out after a couple of images were taken that he was suffering from osteochondritis dissecans — a degenerative bone condition that threatened to splinter his femur where it connected with the knee joint if not treated via surgery.
"Allister was devastated at first. He wasn't sure if he could play lacrosse again with his injury," said RIT head coach Jake Coon. "We didn't have any sense of what was going on and, to be honest, he didn't show much pain or discomfort. It was just kind of here and there. When we found out what was going on, we were pretty shocked."
As it turned out, Aquin and Warren's surgeries were only three weeks apart, so it was only natural that they would become fast friends. The fact that they grew up 40 miles from each other — Warren from Toronto and Aquin from Hamilton, Ontario — only solidified the bond.
"You don't want to see anybody get injured, but it was kind of fitting that we both got injured at the same time," Warren said. "We've been pretty close. We did a lot of our rehab together, made sure that we got healthy and got back on the field together and got a chance to play for the school. Having someone along the way was really important; just having a kind of support line, I guess you could say. We would share trips to the doctor downtown. It was good to have someone else who was on the same path."
The pair eventually became roommates last year, the product of the two of them getting to each other while commiserating about their injuries, as well providing each other a support network.
"Oh, yeah, we talked a lot," said Aquin. "We definitely had a lot of long conversations with each other while it was going on. It was good to have each other going through it. It helped out a ton."
Coon understood what was happening, and tried to be as supportive as he could with a couple of guys he knew would be key factors down the road.
"Anytime anything like that happens, kids go through a certain period of time when they are pretty down and they are trying to battle to get back," Coon said. "It's tough to see your peers excelling and having a great season and sometimes you don't feel like you are a part of it. There were a few times I remember talking to those guys and trying to keep them upbeat and letting them know that they are still are a part of the team."
The chats between the players and with the coaching staff helped, but it would take some real game experience for the two to feel some semblance of where they were before the injuries.
"I don't know if there was one single moment, but I think gradually over time I got more comfortable and got back to being myself," Aquin said. "But even today, I'm still hesitant on it, but it is gradually coming back."
Warren was a little more comfortable with his rehabilitation. He went back home to Toronto prior to last season and tested out his newly mended joint with his box team. He liked what he felt.
"I just did a fake on the crease and planted really hard on my right foot, and I kind of realized that I can put everything into that leg and everything is fine," he said. "I just went full go after that."

out his knee. This year, he is leading the Tigers in goals (58)
heading into Sunday's national championship game.

The opening game of this season, which happened to come against Sunday's opponent, was a big test for both Aquin and Warren. They both had solid campaigns last spring as they rebounded from their injuries — Warren with 30 points (10 goals, 20 assists) and Aquin with 23 (21g, 2a) — but with four of the top five producers gone from the '12 squad, there was going to be pressure on the duo to play like injuries never happened.
The Tigers ended up losing that Stevenson game, 12-11 in overtime, but questions were answered. Aquin scored four goals and set up a fifth while Warren had both a goal and an assist, the due combining for nearly half of RIT's production. The trend continued all season, with Aquin currently third on the team in points (58g, 10a), along with a staggering 17 man-up goals, while Warren is fourth (36g, 22a) in scoring.
"Having injuries like they had makes guys mature and realize what's important," Coon said. "I think it's a big reason why they are playing really well."
Regardless of the stats, the duo has an appreciation for what the other brings to the table.
"Kyle is 'Steady Eddie,'" said Warren. "He's one of those guys you can count on all the time in the important games. The other teams are going to have runs, but you can always count on Kyle to make a big play or stay composed in the tough times to get the momentum back on our side. That's one of his most important characteristics."
"He has a very strong will to win," said Aquin of Warren. "He is obviously very skilled, but he brings a lot of smarts to the game. A play will happen on the field and he'll recognize what we should have done or what we could have done better to change up a play. Or he's a guy who can recognize a defense and set us up for a different look that might be successful later on in the game."
For Coon, they both bring a different style to the midfield role.
"Al's a little better ball-handler than Kyle," he said. "He has a little more quickness. He is looking to feed more than score a lot of the time, which is not necessarily what we want. It's not a bad thing, and we kind of joke about it. Kyle is more of a catch-and-finish player. He can catch it anywhere and get his shot off, and he's a great finisher. Kyle is looking to score every time, while Al is looking to pass, but can also score. Kyle uses his body more because he's a big, physical guy, where Al's more of a jitterbug type, and it doesn't take much to get his hands free."
In last Sunday's game, Aquin scored a pair of goals against Cortland and Warren scored a goal and added an assist, with his tally being the game-winner in overtime. It was a satisfying moment for both of them, as each was able to provide a little closure to the members of the 2011 team, who Coon said "were a huge piece of this puzzle."
This coming Sunday, when they step on the field in Philadelphia, Aquin and Warren will find some closure of their own. After limping off the field in the semifinals two years ago with numerous questions regarding their future, they have come all the way back to play in the biggest game of the season. When that contest starts, the 2011 season will become just a footnote.
