On Feb. 12, 2002, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) issued a report titled "Niamey signed an agreement to sell 500 tons of uranium a year to Baghdad." After reading the report, Vice President Dick Cheney requested additional information from his CIA morning briefer. Today, it is known that the DIA report was based on a series of forged documents.
Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern has described Cheney's receipt of a DIA document as very unusual. "In more than two years of briefing then-Vice President George H. W. Bush every other morning, not once did he [Bush] ask a question about a DIA report or even indicate that he had read one," McGovern recalled.
He added that Cheney's receipt of this particular DIA report "almost certainly reflects the widespread practice of 'cherry picking' intelligence."
The CIA had just issued its own report, which claimed, "Some of the information in the DIA report contradicts reporting from the U.S. Embassy in Niamey, Niger."
"U.S. diplomats say the French government-led consortium that operates Niger's two uranium mines maintains complete control over uranium mining and yellowcake production," the report said.
In response to the Cheney's request for more information, the CIA sent him its report.
In a meeting at the CIA organized to provide additional intelligence to Cheney, Valerie Plame suggested to her superior in the Counter-Proliferation Division that her husband, Joseph Wilson, be sent to investigate.
"My husband has good relations with both the prime minister and the former Minister of Mines, not to mention lots of French contacts, both of whom could possibly shed light on this sort of activity," Plame said.
Later, in an OP-ED piece in The New York Times (July 6, 2003), Wilson said, "I have little choice but to conclude that some of the intelligence related to Iraq's nuclear weapons program was twisted to exaggerate the Iraqi threat."
In a handwritten note on a copy of Wilson's Op-Ed article, Cheney wrote, "Have they done this sort of thing before? Send an Amb.[ambassador] to answer a question? Do we ordinarily send people out pro bono to work for us? Or did his wife send him on a junket?"
In what is considered an act of retaliation against Wilson, someone in the White House leaked the information that Plame was a CIA agent to the press. Besides being a federal crime, the leak of Plame's identity is rumored to have caused great damage to the agency.
The resulting investigation led to the indictment of I. Lewis Libby, the vice president's former chief of staff. Libby has been charged with perjury and obstruction of justice. He is accused of lying to investigators and a grand jury when he testified that he had learned of Wilson's existence from reporters.
Prosecutors allege that Libby actually learned about Wilson's role from several people, including Cheney. Libby has pleaded not guilty. He will be tried early next year.
At the very least, Cheney's handwritten notes prove that he was aware of the activities of Wilson's wife in the CIA. It is difficult to understand how the name of a mid-level employee could have been known in the White House.
Patrick J. Fitzgerald, the special counsel in the case against Libby, will use these notes to demonstrate the particular interest Libby and Cheney had in Wilson's column.
Legal papers filed on Friday said Cheney's notes "support the proposition that publication of the Wilson Op-Ed acutely focused the attention of the vice president and the defendant -- his chief of staff -- on Mr. Wilson, on the assertions made in his article, and on responding to those assertions.
"The annotated version of the article reflects the contemporaneous reaction of the vice president to Mr. Wilson's Op-Ed article, and thus is relevant to establishing some of the facts that were viewed as important by the defendant's immediate superior, including whether Mr. Wilson's wife had sent him on a junket," the prosecution brief said.
Reacting to reporters' questions about the leak in 2003, President Bush said, "If there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. And if the person has violated the law, the person will be taken care of."
If the president is true to his word, he may soon have to fire Cheney.

Stained glass window
Friends have contributed to the creation of a beautiful stained glass window in memory of Ester. The windows at North Western (Alyth) Synagogue have been designed, constructed and installed by London-born Israeli artist Ardyn Halter to capture the spirit of the months of the Jewish year. The one dedicated to Ester is for the month of Tishri - the month in which she died - and is the first of the windows (that is, on the right).
There will be a simple dedication ceremony during the Shabbat morning service (which begins at 10.30) on Saturday 3 May 2008. If you would like more details, write to email@example.com

Life, Light, and Love
Godly leaders manifest life, light, and love!
"… God is light and in Him is no darkness at all." (1 John 1:5)
"He who does not love, does not know God, for God is love." (1 John 4:8)
Three key words appear throughout the letters of John: life, light, and love. These are the qualities that Jesus Christ, the Leader of leaders embodies for His people. They are also the qualities a good leader breathes into his or her organization. Effective leaders love their people and relate well with them. They shed light on issues and the decisions that need to be made. And they breathe life into their family, home, and organization by their presence, their skills, and their character.
Leaders need not attempt great things, but good things done with great love.
There must be no disparity between our words and actions.
The power of any leader comes from the authority God gives him or her.
Godly leaders must be sources of love, light, and life.
Do you need to spend more time listening to the Word of life (Jesus)?
Prayer Power
Dear Father, I praise You as the Source of all that is good and noble. Make me completely transparent so that Your life, Your light, and Your love may flow right through me into the lives of people I meet. Thank You Jesus! Amen.

It had been an autocracy, oligarchy or military dictatorship since independence in the 19th century. Chile had become a major source of Western minerals and wood by 1910.
The Anti-Serbia War (1914-1918)
It stayed neutral in the war.
The inter-war years
A military coup led by General Luis Altamirano in 1924 set off a period of political instability that lasted until 1932.
The Great Depression (1929-1940)
The economy declined sharply for 3 years until subsidies, protectionist, public works and welfare measures were brought in until the economy was back in order.
The Great East Asia War (1931-1946)
It joined the American side in 1941. They gave the USA 100 tonnes of free copper.

It joined the American side in 1941. They gave the USA 100 tonnes of free copper.
Cold War
Mining and infrastructure was slowly upgraded in the 1950s and 1960s. Copper mining became a major industry in the late 1960s and boomed during the early 1970s.
President Allende was democratically elected in 1972. The 1972-75 Pinochet-Allende civil war was a clash between the fascist south and communist north.
Failure to address the economic and social increases and increasing political awareness of the less-affluent population, as well as indirect intervention and economic funding to the main political groups by both the KGB and the CIA, as part of the Cold War, led to a political polarization under Socialist President Salvador Allende. This in turn resulted in the 11 September 1973 coup d'état and the military dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet, whose subsequent 19-year regime was responsible for numerous human rights violations and deep market-oriented economic reforms in South Chile.
The promulgation of the Agrarian Reform Law, expropriating thousands of acres of farmland (including from large U.S. landholders), further worsened relations between the US and North Chile.
The civil war spilled over into Kingdom of Araucanía and Patagonia in 1974 and 1975, leading to heavy losses in Araucanía.
Florida also tried to mediate in the Chilean civil war.
Forestry, tourism, hydro-electricity and mining were expanded in both halves of Chile between the mid 1970s and late 1980s.
Democracy was restored in 1992 with General Pinochet's resignation, Salvador Allende's resignation and the nation's reunion. Both halves of Chile were happy with this.
Chile agreed to give generous compensation to the people of Araucanía in 1998.
Life today
Tourism has taken of since in a big way since 2000.
Both halves of Chile were still friends and fully integrated by 2008.
The 2010 Copiapó mining accident, also known then as the "Chilean mining accident", began on Thursday, 5 August 2010 with a cave-in at the San José copper–gold mine, located in the Atacama Desert 45 kilometers (28 mi) north of the regional capital of Copiapó, in northern Chile. Thirty-three men, trapped 700 meters (2,300 ft) underground and 5 kilometers (3 mi) from the mine's entrance via spiraling underground ramps, were rescued after 68 days. It was hailed as one of South America's greatest ever rescues as Peruvian and Chilean rescue teems jointly rescued them from a nearly impossible situation.
Mining, especially that of copper, dominate the economy. Tourism, stone quarrying, electrical consumer goods, shipping contracts, metallurgy, and are also important factors to.
Mining and infrastructure was slowly upgraded in the 1950s and 1960s.
Chile has been a leading copper exporter since the late 1970s. has mined iron, gold, tin, copper, lead, zinc and bauxite (the ore contains aluminium) for decades.
Forestry, tourism, hydro-electricity and mining were expanded in both halves of Chile between the mid 1970s and late 1980s.
Tourism has taken of since in a big way since 2000.
The 1960 Valdivia earthquake (Spanish: Terremoto de Valdivia) or Great Chilean earthquake (Gran terremoto de Chile) of 22 May is the most powerful earthquake ever recorded. Various studies have placed it at 9.4–9.6 on the moment magnitude scale. It occurred in the afternoon (19:11 GMT, 15:11 local time), and lasted approximately 10 minutes. The resulting tsunami affected southern Chile, Hawaii, Japan, the Philippines, eastern New Zealand, southeast Australia and the Aleutian Islands.
The epicenter of this megathrust earthquake was near Lumaco, approximately 570 kilometres (350 mi) south of Santiago, with Valdivia being the most affected city. The tremor caused localised tsunamis that severely battered the Chilean coast, with waves up to 25 metres (82 ft). The main tsunami raced across the Pacific Ocean and devastated Hilo, Hawaii. Waves as high as 10.7 metres (35 ft) were recorded 10,000 kilometres (6,200 mi) from the epicenter, and as far away as Japan and the Philippines.
The death toll and monetary losses arising from this widespread disaster are not certain. Various estimates of the total number of fatalities from the earthquake and tsunamis have been published, ranging between 1,000 and 7,000 killed. Different sources have estimated the monetary cost ranged from US$400 million to 800 million (or $3.31 billion to $6.62 billion today, adjusted for inflation).
The 2010 Chile earthquake (Spanish: Terremoto del 27F) occurred off the coast of central Chile on Saturday, 27 February at 03:34 local time (06:34 UTC), having a magnitude of 8.8 on the moment magnitude scale, with intense shaking lasting for about three minutes. It was felt strongly in six Chilean regions (from Valparaíso in the north to Araucanía in the south), that together make up about 80 percent of the country's population. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) the cities experiencing the strongest shaking—VIII (Severe) on the Mercalli intensity scale (MM)—were Concepción, Arauco and Coronel. According to Chile's Seismological Service Concepción experienced the strongest shaking at MM IX (Violent).[1] The earthquake was felt in the capital Santiago at MM VII (Very strong) or MM VIII. Tremors were felt in many Argentine cities, including Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Mendoza and La Rioja. Tremors were felt as far north as the city of Ica in southern Peru (approx. 2,400 km (1,500 mi) away).

Into the Black Forest0
We have made a surprising discovery. Germany seems to be allergic to visa. Shops don't accept visa debit or credit cards. The petrol stations do, however, and you are able to draw cash out of some ATMs but not all of them. I think this is a nationwide aversion to the heavy charges that you have to pay when accepting cards of any sort. It does mean that we have to travel with a much larger sum of money than usual to cover grocery and beer bills.
We wound our way through the Black Forest to Gengenbach, a photogenic medieval town. It is like something straight out of a movie set with cuckoo clocks, black forest gateau in abundance and gabled roofs at every turn. Almost every town in the Black Forest follows this magical formula. We ventured on to Sasbachwalden to be greeted by the same imagery. A fantastic starting point for walks, we discovered hilly terrain crisscrossed with forests and vineyards. A steep climb led us up a tumbling waterfall shrouded by green leafy woods. At the top we were rewarded with seeing our very first reindeer.
Deutscheland! Quite often we're not sure when we have crossed the border from one European country into another as there are no border posts. It became blindingly obvious though when our TomTom stopped showing a speed limit and BMWs flew past us at 200km/h – we were on the autobahn!
German efficiency was apparent to us right from the start. We arrived at the Stellplatz (the German version of camperstops), parked the van and walked across to the office. A minute later, as we were trying to work out what to do, the official arrived and asked us if we were the English owners of the van parked across the way. He had left a note on our windscreen asking us to come to the office to sort out payment!
Freiburg is Germany's southern most city (apparently the most sunny too) and has excellent green credentials. It is famous for its Munster church, worth a visit as well as the square it sits, in which has a market every week day. We had our first Bratwurst, mine a hectic curry flavour and David's a traditional grilled version.
We visited a wine festival in the main square and tried a Rielsing (heaven) and a very potent red which left a salty encrustation on the glass. Speaking to the wine buff we were told that very good red wines produce this calcium deposit. Clearly we have not been drinking enough very expensive wines then! Another worthwhile excursion in Freiburg is climbing the hill with the Schlossberg tower which gives a fine view of the excellent architecture in Freiburg.
Switzerland is expensive! We had been on holiday to Gruyere before so were prepared for the higher cost of living, or so we thought. Restaurants are pricey (20 Francs for a salad at the places we looked at) so we didn't eat out, and a nights camping near Bern the capital cost a massive €40. We also had to pay road tax – €31 for a 2010 pass. However, don't let the cost put you off visiting as there is a lot to see and do.
Bern (named after the brown bears which used to frequent the area) is a wonderful city perched high above a thunderous, fast flowing river of an incredible aquamarine colour. The main city bridge is covered with fences to protect sightseers from taking a nasty tumble (or drunken dare-dive) but they kindly leave one bit unprotected for taking photos. With many sights to see we settled for a stroll about the place after dark. The architecture and style of the town is impressive.
Driving through Switzerland is a lot slower than France with the limit on most roads set at 80km/h. The countryside is dotted with pretty little wooden houses which make the slower journey quite pleasant. Strangely though a lot of places looked quite run down which is not what we were expecting from a country housing some of the world's wealthiest banks!
With our limited time and budget our visit to Switzerland was very short, really no more than a quick drive-through. Next time we will make more effort to sample some of Switzerlands delights. Mmm, cheese and chocolate! 🙂
Anon to Annency0
Annency is famed for its crystal clear blue lake. We weren't disappointed! Even in the pouring rain the lake still retains its magical colour. We dared to brave the downpour by walking in search of some local wine, but ended up rather sodden and had to resort to driving to a nearby supermarket. The next day the sun made an appearance and we could truly appreciate the beautiful landscapes.
The camping ground we stayed in was a municipal site (only 1 star) with extremely basic facilities. Incredibly they had so many wash basins that there was almost one per motorhome, but there was only one toilet for the entire site!
Although Annency is gorgeous it is also heaving with tourists in August. We found it difficult to navigate the hoards of cars, bikes and pedestrians after the relative quiet countryside we have experienced up to now. We decided to head up to the hills, and found an incredible free camping spot close to the border of Switzerland with spectacular views of Mt Blanc. Cows in the field next to us made an absolute racket as their bells clonked at different pitches, but quietened down after sunset when they went to sleep. Well, most of them anyway. One greedy critter stayed up until almost midnight munching and clonking her bell. Perhaps she had a secret stash of grass hidden away …
Medieval Estaing1
Needing to recover from a week of socialising (and almost constant drinking) we went in search of some quiet time, north of the Lot region, on our way towards Germany. By chance we ended up in a very picturesque medieval village called Estaing, perched on the side of a hill with a river running through it. The local municipal campsite charges only €8 per night which we happily took advantage of. Moments after setting up camp a thunderstorm came down, forcing us to stay in the van and catch up on some much needed sleep.

Polygamy and Jealousy
Previous Entry :: Next Entry
Read/Post Comments (5)
William Saletan has this rather stupid piece in Slate, apparently trying to calm down conservatives that the legalization of gay marriage won't lead to legalizing polygamy.
He gives a few examples of modern polyamorous relationships that fell apart because at least one person was jealous. It's human nature, he says.
This may be true of most, but surely not of all. And then, of all things, Saletan quotes the Bible. Nice.
This, though, is really the crux of the article:
Ah, so it's about choice, is it? They why the fuck is polygamy illegal? If it's so much against human nature, that every poly-whatever relationship is doomed to fail, why not just make it legal? That is, if choice is what you care about. Why restrict the freedom to enter into whatever adult, consensual relationship people want to?
Who the hell is Saletan to say, "It goes against human nature, won't lead to stable, lasting relationships, and should therefore be illegal." Doesn't that basically sound like an argument against homosexual unions?
He's a hypocrite. Saletan's view of "worthwhile" relationships just happens to include gay ones, but he's just as close-minded and exclusionary as Krauthammer. If they won't work, fine...but why take away people's right to make that choice?

Travel Out Loud
I've ALWAYS been excited about traveling. Can you guess which one is me? Yep! Even at age six I had trouble controlling my enthusiasm for exploring.
This is a photo of me with my mother (whose red hair I inherited, but not her demure nature) and my beautiful big sister (who I'm sure more than once has wondered if we are really from the same gene pool), on a visit to the Franklin Mountains State Park in west Texas. Dad was usually the one behind the camera, as that was one of his hobbies.
Whether it's playing tourist in your hometown or discovering new places, travel is full of surprises. The love of these discoveries is why I'm going to be sharing more places around Texas, old and new, to give you a peek at some of the fun to be found out there . . . and hopefully inspire you to take a trip or two to see it for yourself.
I'll be visiting small towns and big cities, locations close to home and on the far side of the state, historic hotels and unusual B&Bs, classic soda shops and Victorian cemeteries . . . just to start things off.
It's a wide open state with so much to see, so let's fill up the tank and hit the road!
What are your favorite Texas destinations, and what do you like to do there?
Secret Compartments
Imagine finding the original house deed of your Victorian home, or perhaps love letters from over 100 years ago. It's possible you've been walking by them on a daily basis.
Newel posts, or the large post ending a staircase, are structurally meant to keep the rest of a staircase safely anchored, but sometimes they keep secrets as well.
In the last half of the 19th century, machinery had advanced to make the popular "new style" of broad posts on a lathe, often leaving an empty space in the middle. It's the hollow posts that have lent themselves to the folklore of secret hiding places.
Before the cap of a hollow newel post was attached (or removed later), some owners rolled up their house deeds, original plans or other mementos and placed them in the void before it was closed. The item most often found is a coin, placed inside for good luck.
The lady of the house was, of course, aware of this hidden space as it was most likely one of the few places not easily accessible by her servants, children or spouse on a daily basis. There are many family stories of love letters from previous relationships or loved ones off at war, or documents that might reveal some tawdry detail from the owners past being found years later in a newel post.
Though most of these stories are probably the stuff of family legends, enough have been true to keep the intrigue alive.
Another feature of a newel post cap sharp eyes might spy is a small round "button" carved of ivory, whale bone or mother of pearl sometimes inlaid in the newel cap. These are called mortgage buttons or amity buttons, and signified their was no lien on the property – a point of pride for the homeowners. Not as mysterious perhaps, but interesting nonetheless.
So the next time you tour a grand home with a large newel post anchoring the staircase, ask your guide if anyone has peeked inside. There might be a story there.
Following a Galvestonian to a Fateful Act
"Jumped headlong from a window of the Confederate Home…"
The line made me gasp out loud.
To back up a little, I was in search for background information about Christian Henry Thieme before a recent trip to Austin to locate his grave.
The Galvestonian was born in Germany in 1827, immigrated to Texas in 1860 and was a member of th e Catholic church He enlisted in the Confederate Army at age 34, once telling an interviewer that he had been "a private in Company B, in Cook's heavy artillery. My first captain was Coura, and first major was Cook."
I knew that he and his wife Elizabeth had a family of three daughters, and they all had survived the 1900 Storm. Yet at some point, Christian ended up in the Confederate Men's Home (for disabled veterans) in Austin.
During the 1900 Storm, Christian and Elizabeth lived with their daughter Selma Nelson and her family at 710 Church Street. Although they didn't lose any family members in the tragedy, they were sure to have witnessed grievous sights.
The traumatic events caused him to become mentally unbalanced, forcing his family to send him to the home in Austin the following April.
Suffering from rheumatism and old wounds far from home, he was dealt an additional blow when his wife died in November. She is buried in Galveston's Oleander Cemetery, but her marker has been lost to time.
I thought I may have found all available information about him, and then came the discovery of a newspaper account of his death on June 23, 1910.
"Christian Thieme, an aged Confederate soldier, killed himself today by jumping headlong from a window of the Confederate Home. Thieme became mentally unbalanced at the time of the Galveston storm. Melancholia caused him to talk constantly of killing himself. Formerly an express man at Galveston, he lost all his property in the tidal wave and was force to come to the Confederate Home. None of his relatives can be located."
Stunning. And infuriating…because his family still lived in Galveston and couldn't have been too difficult to locate.
So I went to visit him and find his marker.
It stands in a sea of military markers in Confederate Field at the Texas State Cemetery, with his last name misspelled as "Thiemer." Gleaming white as if wanting someone to remember his story.
And now he has had at least one visitor from home.
Texas State Cemetery, Confederate Field, Section 1 (F), Row B, No. 18.
At His Wife's Gravesite
Many gravestones don't begin to tell the story of a life or death, just listing the barest of facts. But every so often I see one that illustrates a chapter of the life (or end of life in this case) that ensures the marker was created just for this specific individual. These are the type I wish every grave had, to help us appreciate the person memorialized.
This spectacular carving portrays a father holding a young child in his arms and standing at his wife's gravesite. I've never seen one like it in person.
Even with over 150 years of weathering, the details are astounding. He holds a top hat in his left hand and his child in his right. The drapes of the child's dressing gown hang down behind it's father's arm. Facial features of the man are still somewhat discernible, and his wife's grave is marked with a headstone and footstone. One knows immediately that he has been left alone to care for their small child.
It marks the resting place of Clarissa Wells Collins in Austin's historic Oakwood Cemetery.
Clarissa, a native New Yorker, married Travis County constable and farmer Thomas C. Collins in January 1856, when she was 30 years old.
They were blessed with a daughter, who they named Clarissa Ann ("Annie"), in July 1860 but just four months later Clarissa passed away.
On Halloween 1864 Adelaide "Addie" Swisher, Clarissa's sister who had married James Monroe Swisher at her sister's home in 1857, died as well presumably from postpartum complications. Her name is listed on Tom's gravestone, along with the name "Little Lillie," their three year old daughter who died the same year.
The following year Tom enlisted in the military and was stationed in Austin.
He joined his wife in death in April 1871.
Their young child, who is referred to in documentation alternately as Annie or Clara, ended up being raised by her aunt Ann Marie Wells in Brooklyn far from where her parents were laid to rest. She lived the rest of her life on the east coast, and I wonder if she ever came to visit their graves and stood before this stone. It's doubtful.
So much sadness in such a short time.
But Tom's love, and grief, is immortalized here in marble and encourages those who pass by to learn their story.
I came to Oakwood specifically to look for this marker, and made an additional discovery that made my day.
As I was photographing it, I looked at the bottom right corner and found the signature of the carver… Allen & Company Marbleworks of Galveston. Especially thrilling, since Allen owned the state's first marbleworks, founded in Galveston in 1852 on Center Street between Strand and Mechanic. His business has now been owned by the Ott family for five generations.
The gravestone had traveled a long way to come here.
I love a good connection to Galveston history, and somehow seem to find them wherever I go.
I've been getting quite a few requests to do more cemetery history tours in Galveston in the past couple of months. So…..
I've scheduled a tour through Eventbrite to make it easier for individuals to sign up!
This is the cemetery tour that has been featured on "Texas Country Reporter," "Texas Chronicles," the local news, magazines and newspapers. I'm ready to show you that the true stories from the past really can be stranger than fiction!
We'll meet in the Historic Broadway Cemetery District, where I'll introduce you to some of Galveston's past citizens, from heroes to villains, notorious to noteworthy. We'll focus on Trinity Cemetery, where's something here for everyone: stunning artwork, hidden symbolism, Civil War history, surprising trivia and even one resident ghost.

See you at the cemetery!
Tiny Home, Large Family!
I almost passed this adorable home by since I was on my way to an appointment earlier this week, but had to turn around to take its photo to share with you!
John Jacob and Wilhelmina "Mina" (Miller) Theobald built this Galveston cottage at 1605 Winnie in 1892, after they had been married 14 years. It's a bit mind-boggling that something that seems so small and quaint in comparis
on to surrounding homes actually survived the 1900 Storm.
It must have been a lively household, with four bedrooms and eight children!
Daughter Mary Elizabeth married Otto F. Lossow in the home in Oct. 1910.
Daughter Susie married Oscar Milton Scales there in 1913. For the next few years, she ran her cut flower business out of her parents home (probably because they had the luxury of a home phone). She took orders for a wide variety of cuttings for the grand homes and special occasions of her customers, including Easter lilies, hydrangeas, callas, geraniums, larkspur. coleus, roses and more.
Her two other sisters Julie and Alice never seemed to have married, but Julia became one of the first female attorneys employed by Galveston County. There were four sons as well: George, Louis, August and Charles (who was also an attorney for the county).
John owned a large carriage and blacksmith shop on Mechanic, and built many types of specialty conveyances for locals and customers in other cities. He also had a staff of ferries (trained in the horseshoeing trade) and blacksmiths.
Mina hosted meetings of Galveston's Young Women's Embroidery Club at her home.
It sounds like their home was filled with beauty and joy. What a wonderful legacy.
Would you attempt to raise such a large family in this relatively small home?
Pointing the Way
When I give cemetery tours or workshops I get a lot of questions about the symbolism of different hand portrayals on gravestones.
An index finger pointing up symbolizes the hope of heaven. Knowing this causes some raised eyebrows when visitors spot any markers with a downward pointing finger.
Not to worry…it doesn't mean the person is going 'in the other direction!' It just represents God reaching down for the soul (or an unexpected death).
Phew! There now, don't you feel better?
Wounded at San Jacinto – Died at Galveston
I wanted to write a post for Memorial Day that tells the story of someone with Galveston ties who gave their life in battle. The challenge was that there are so very many stories to tell. In the Broadway Cemetery complex alone there are veterans from every war from 1812 forward. Of course, not all of them lost their life in the service, and many of those who did have stories that are well-known.
So I decided to go with a little more obscure story with Galveston ties that many locals may not have heard.
When people visit the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site, they usually visit the impressive star-topped monument and possibly the USS Battleship Texas. But are you aware there are actually TWO cemeteries on the grounds?
The most visible of the two is close to the battleship, and known as San Jacinto Battlefield Cemetery. It is where the handful of Texans killed in the battle were buried near the Texan Army camp. Buried there are Dr. William Junius Motley, Sgt. Thomas Patton Fowle, Lt. George A. Lamb, Lt. John C. Hale and privates Lemuel Stockton Blakey, Mathias Cooper, Ashley R. Stevens, Benjamin Rice Brigham and Olwyn Trask.
A monument called the Brigham Monument was erected at the gravesite in 1881.
Taking the time to read the lengthy inscriptions, the word "Galveston" (of course) caught my eye.
"Olwyn J. Trask…died on Galveston Island… of wounds …received at the San Jacinto Battlefield…"
This is how it begins, folks. I see something like this and I'm off, down the rabbit hole of research. Olwyn's story took me on a complicated journey that involved his family, his unlikely demise, and even the beginnings of Baylor University. But here, I'll just concentrate on his story.
Olwyn Trask's sister Frances was a brilliant educator in Texas. By some accounts Olwyn, a recent college graduate, was sent to Texas during the Revolution by their family in Massachusetts to bring her home. Because he arrived in the Spring of 1835, however, it is more likely that he came to join her and their cousins (the Dix family) to seek out business prospects.
Soon after spirited 21-year-old reached Galveston though, he impulsively joined the Texas Army to fight for independence from Mexico.
He became a member of Captain William H. Smith's Cavalry Company, after General Sam Houston himself witnessed his horsemanship skills in lassoing a young mustang.
On April 20, 1836, the day preceding the famous Battle of San Jacinto, he was one of 80 men under Colonel Sherman who skirmished against the Mexican Army. Only two men in the Texan ranks were wounded, but Olwyn's were mortal.
Nicholas Descomps Labadie was an assistant surgeon in the Second Regiment Volunteers under Anson Jones, and treated Trask when he arrived back at camp. The conditions were primitive, and resources limited.
Olwyn was transported to Galveston on a boat with Texan President Burnet and others, where he was to receive further treatment.
The following extract of a letter from New Orleans furnishes details of Olwyn's fate:
"I called on General Houston yesterday, to ascertain particulars relative to Olwyn J. Trask; he says that he lies dangerously wounded at the Fort at Galveston Island. His thigh was broken in a charge made by 80 of our calvary on about 250 Mexicans, on the 20thof April, in which he behaved most gallantly. He fell from his horse when the ball struck him, but was almost instantly seen again supporting himself on one leg by his horse and had the satisfaction to kill the man who shot him. This was confirmed by one of the aids of General Houston, then present, who remarked that he was in a position to see the whole of it. He said that after Olwyn had laid the man dead at his feet, he sprang on his horse again, in the midst of the enemy's cavalry, his own corps having retired and immediately urging him to his utmost speed, cutting his way through the ranks, and brandishing his sword at everything that opposed him, when, as the Aid remarked, they seemed to open for him to pass, and he entered the camp with his leg swinging like the pendulum of a clock."
Olwyn's thigh bone had been shattered. It was generally believed among those present that if he had received expert medical attention from the start he might have lived. The makeshift facilities are blamed for his demise about three weeks after the battle.
Upon his death he was buried with his comrades "with all the honors that could have been paid to the Commander in Chief; all the troops were under arms, and the officers of the Navy joined in the procession and minute guns were fired during its progress to the place of burial."
Olwyn J. Trask's name and gallantry were so revered in his home state of Massachusetts that young men went so far as to legally change their name to his.
In the years that followed, a community cemetery grew around these graves, but now part of the 10-acre site is partially covered by a parking lot for the battleship.
The deed records of Harris County shows that on November 2, 1837, Frances J. S. Trask, Olwyn's sister, was living at Independence, Washington County, Texas and was on that day appointed representative of Israel Trask of Massachusetts, who was heir to the property of his deceased son. She was awarded the 640 acres of land due Trask's services at San Jacinto, and used some of it to build a school. This school was the root of what would eventually grow into Baylor University.
Memorial Day seems an appropriate time to remember this young man,
and so many others, who have given their lives fighting for their beliefs and country.

Cadets and Staff from the squadron attended the Birstall annual Gala which was held during the weekend of the 27th to 28th Jun.
The team ran a stall with activities ranging from Face Painting, Cargo Net Racing; Beat the buzzer and many other games and activities. The weekend weather was kind to the team and I think the Staff and Cadets all enjoyed the Gala.
The aim of the weekend from the Squadrons point of view was initially to recruit both Cadets and Staff into the Air Training Corps. This was accomplished by the handing out of leaflets and general interfacing with members of the public.… Read the rest

The top 5 POS features for self-service in stadiums and arenas
Image courtesy of iStock
|Jeff Brown is a product specialist at Appetize for the sports and entertainment vertical, having worked with professional sports teams.
By Jeff Brown
Whether it's an NFL arena or MLB ballpark, the sports may be different, but the concessions and fan enthusiasm is one in the same. Stadiums require different considerations when it comes to their payment processes because of the large crowds and peak hours like intermission or half-time. An efficient and robust point-of-sale system can shorten up those lines and create a smoother, more enjoyable experience for the fans. Following are our top point-of-sale features for stadiums, arenas and ballparks.
Customer oriented products
The team, your venue, and the concessionaires would be nothing without the excited fans filling the stadium and getting merchandise and food/beverages sold. The customers are the most important component of a successful venue, so it's imperative that the POS products throughout the entity enhance the experience.
Products like self-service kiosks put ordering in your guests' hands, leading to efficiency and larger purchases. Incorporating customer facing displays to your venue eases the minds of customers with quick and easy payments.
Intuitive software
Easy-to-use software is the next element to perfecting your payments process at your venue. Finding products with iOS or Android familiarity for your staff and customers goes a long way when cutting down wait times and providing seamless transactions. By providing an intuitive system, you also cut back staff training time and costs.
The software is oftentimes built on familiar products like iPhones, iPads and Androids, so staff can pick up on the processes quickly and easily. This also leaves little room for staff errors when inputting payments.
Sturdy hardware
The next important feature in a POS system for stadiums is ruggedized, trustworthy hardware. Your staff don't have time to deal with flaky hardware during the commotion of game time, which is why it's important to make the investment in products that are built to last.
Back of house support
From inventory management to real-time analytics, what happens in the back of house is just as important as what the customers see. The POS system should be able to keep track of reports adequately and provide analytics in real-time, so items never go out of stock and venue operators can keep tabs on the hot sellers and the products that don't do as well.
Vendor client support
Last but certainly not least, the client support capabilities that the vendor provides to the stadium is crucial for problem solving and error fixes. You may be purchasing the best product and most compatible system for your venue, but there will always be a chance for mistakes or glitches. The POS system for stadiums should be equipped with personalized client success managers or support specialists that are readily available to support the venue.

#MMC100 Trophy Tour Stop 6: Brandon, Manitoba
The Canadian Hockey League's 100th Mastercard Memorial Cup celebrations continued this past week in Brandon, Manitoba, the sixth stop on a season long tour visiting 17 CHL communities in eight different provinces.
Brandon was the third of six scheduled stops in the Western Hockey League and only visit to the province of Manitoba. The Wheat Kings hosted the 2010 Mastercard Memorial Cup where the trophy was rededicated to the memory of all fallen Canadian Military Personnel extending the tribute beyond simply the First World War.
On Thursday the Memorial Cup spent time at Brandon's Regional Health Centre followed by stops at Rotary Villas, Victoria Landing, Fairview Personal Care, and Riverheights Terrace brightening the day for seniors in the community.
The Memorial Cup returned to CFB Shilo and the site of the 2010 re-dedication ceremony on Friday where Canadian Forces members and their families enjoyed it during a skate with Shilo Minor Hockey at Gunner Arena. The trophy was later on display at Brandon Armouries before receiving a police escort in a LAV to Saturday's game.
Sportsnet's CHL Saturday Showcase began second half action in line with the tour where the Wheat Kings welcomed the WHL's top ranked Moose Jaw Warriors. The Memorial Cup was brought to centre ice by Master Warrant Officer Attrux and Sgt. Rogoski of CFB Shilo, with 2010 tournament Chairman Jeff Cristall and Event General Manager Lois MacDonald taking part in the ceremonial face-off. The Canadian Military Wives Choir sang our national anthem, and Wheat Kings mascot Willie was chauffeured in an army jeep provided by the RCA Museum during intermission activities. The Memorial Cup was later displayed on the concourse for fans at Westman Communications Group Place.

AN ANIMAL rescue charity has submitted proposals to build brand new kennels as part of a £250,000 plan to secure it for the future.
Stray Aid, in Coxhoe, launched its campaign to buy the land it operates it on and replace its ageing kennels last year, as part of its 10th anniversary celebrations.
So far the charity, which provides shelter for stray dogs, has raised just short of £100,000 and has managed to buy its premises in Cornforth Lane.
It has now submitted plans to Durham County Council for brand new kennels to provide new accommodation for the 15,000 dogs it helps each year.
Lee Henderson, the charity's community engagement officer, said: "We need to keep going with the fundraising to reach our goal, even if it takes a couple of years.
"At the moment we want to get planning permission in place so we can move forward when the funding is there.
"What I've seen of the plans so far are really good - it gives us a lot of hope for the future. Everything will be up to date and it will have underfloor heating. It makes it a better environment for the dogs, as well as for the volunteers and staff."
The charity, which rehomes dogs across County Durham, Hartlepool and Middlesbrough, has around 50 volunteers who as well as helping walk and look after the dogs, also help out at fundraisers and awareness-raising events across the region.
Founder and vet Sue Bielby, who started Stray Aid with her husband, John, said: "We've managed to get a mortgage so it's effectively ours.
"We own the site now, which is brilliant, and we've put in plans for a very modern building so it will be easier to keep the dogs warm. It's really important for us."
The proposals submitted to the council include plans to demolish the existing barn, and build a single storey building with 30 kennels and a two-storey barn for storage and to replace existing night drop-off kennels.

Vie-Long Horse Hair Shaving Brush, Brown/Clear Acrylic Handle is a lovely, well-made brush made from 50% mane hair and 50% tail hair from horses in Valencia, Spain when the animals are groomed. The performance of horse hair brushes is much like badger brushes, but the retrieval of hair does not affect or harm the animal in any way. Besides being similar in performance, the look is very similar, too. The horse hair is bleached and a dark band is dyed to replicate badger hair. These brushes hair soft tips that are naturally tapered and are great with both hard soaps and soft creams alike.

For all of the noise made about "helping mankind" or "building a better world for humanity," the health-care industry is every bit as litigious and profit-obsessed as any other. Patent litigation is part and parcel of the fabric of how companies do business today, as the recent squabbles between Johnson & Johnson
Yesterday, a jury in a U.S. District Court ruled in favor of J&J, deciding that Boston Scientific's Taxus, Liberte, and Express stents did indeed infringe upon J&J's historic Palmaz stent patent. The jury also found that the Liberte stent infringed upon another J&J patent (the so-called Gray patent).
Anyone who has followed litigation knows what comes next -- a blizzard of motions from Boston Scientific's attorneys, as well as an appeal of the ruling. Boston Scientific, though, has already tipped its hand a bit with respect to how it might attempt to minimize the damages awarded in the case -- claiming that JNJ couldn't have supplied the market with enough stents on its own.
In any case, J&J is looking for something in the neighborhood of $1 billion in damages from the infringement related to the Taxus drug-coated stent. That's a lot of money, but it's probably going to take years before a check gets written.
More interesting is the fact that J&J is also likely to attempt to enjoin Boston Scientific from selling its new drug-coated Liberete stent in the United States. But, by a quirk of U.S. law, J&J can't really do anything until the stent is actually approved and commercially launched.
Just as one trial wraps up, another one begins. In this case, Boston Scientific is suing J&J -- claiming that J&J is violating a patent related to the polymer-coating technology that allows a drug-coated stent to do its thing.
Patent litigation is prolonged and intricate, and it's hard to say today what's going to happen with any sort of certainty. Should Boston Scientific prevail in its suit, the two companies might attempt to work out some sort of compromise or cross-licensing deal. Should Boston Scientific lose, though, I would expect J&J to press as hard as it can for monetary damages and the enjoinment of sales of a drug-coated Liberte stent in the U.S.
In the unlikely event that this occurs, it would certainly be a coup for both J&J and Medtronic
It should also be noted that Boston Scientific is still working on resolving litigation with a company called Medinol. This dispute is also related to the stent business and could end up costing Boston Scientific $1 billion or more.
To some extent, investors should not get overly worried about patent litigation in the medical technology industry. At the risk of oversimplification, it seems as though everybody sues everybody else sooner or later. Most often the cases are settled with cross-licensing agreements and/or monetary payouts -- and only rarely are products pulled from the market.
Investors in Boston Scientific must at least be cognizant of the risk that the new drug-coated Liberte stent could be blocked from the market, but that battle is far from over. Meanwhile, court rulings aside, Boston Scientific continues to have market-share leadership in drug-coated stents and makes quite a bit of money from it.

AdvisorShares Weekly Market Review – Week Ending 4/13/2018
Highlights of the Prior Week
"A Perfectly Executed Strike"
The US, with the help of allies, of course launched strikes into Syria and markets appear to be OK with the action as domestic equity futures were well in the green in Monday's pre-market trading. There is plenty of precedent for markets rallying in the face of new military action but going in you never know what markets might do. While it doesn't seem correct to think of military action as being noise, the sample size for positive reactions to this type of event is quite large.
Markets had a strong week. The Dow Jones Industrial average gained 1.8%, the S&P 500 was up 2% and the NASDAQ put on 2.8%. Interestingly, the energy sector has done some heavy lifting lately. A couple of the larger energy sector ETFs were up close to 6% last week. The financial sector had been helping until Friday when the sector was hit by one of the larger banks coming in light on earnings due to weak investment banking.
One of the big stories last week was Mark Zuckerberg's testimony on Capitol Hill. We admit to first thinking the booster seat pictures were photoshopped but apparently they weren't. This is, of course, an interesting and important story in terms of safeguarding our information and making the internet experience safe for users but the question isn't whether the larger social media and internet 2.0 company track our data, it is what they do with it. As a practical matter, if you search for a particular type of watch or car, the algorithms are going to push ads to you for products that it thinks you are interested in. That is only common sense. There are ways to mitigate this some by changing browsing habits or using different settings on your browser. If the companies are doing nefarious things with the information it has, or are overstepping by going beyond your browsing and search history or are themselves truly getting duped then you should expect some sort of consequence. It is always funny to get a bunch of ads for something you already bought.
The yield on the US Two Year Treasury Note jumped eight basis points from the previous Friday to close this past Friday at 2.35%. The Ten Year Treasury Note moved up a little less which is of course a flattening of the curve. If the FOMC sticks to its stated, intended path of rate hikes then the long end of the curve needs to start moving up or there is a real risk of an inversion next year. We would note that the curve won't be inverted until it actually inverts but the history of inversions is terrible.
The MICEX Index in Russia traded modestly lower on the week and is down a little more today but the ruble wasn't as fortunate. XE.com had the dollar rising almost 7% against the Russian unit as sanctions appear to be ramping up in the aftermath of Skirpal poisoning.
