Unflinching Portraits of Pearl Harbor Survivors
Seventy years after the day that lives on in infamy, the soldiers stationed at Pearl Harbor recall their experiences

(Marco Garcia / Wonderful Machine)
On the eve of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Jack Evans (above), a 17-year-old seaman aboard the USS Tennessee, was cajoled into dancing with Pat Campbell, a local 10-year-old girl, in a jitterbug contest at a Navy band competition. The pair won the top prize. The USS Arizona Memorial has the trophy in its collections, which, as National Park Service historian Daniel Martinez told Tom Brokaw in a 2006 interview, turned out to be "a footnote compared to the events that would unfold the next day."
Evans was dressed that December 7 and thinking about what church service to attend when general quarters sounded, signaling him to his battle station. His job was to spot aircraft from a lookout in the foretop, a platform on the mast at the ship's bow.
"When the Arizona blew, there was a chunk of metal as large as a locomotive that went spiraling up over my head and into the smoke that built up so rapidly I couldn't see the thing anymore. I have no idea where it landed but it was a terrific jolt," Evans recalled at a symposium in Pearl Harbor on the 65th anniversary of the attack. Two bombs struck the USS Tennessee during the battle, one of which drove shrapnel into Evans' legs. "I didn't even know it. I felt absolutely no pain. I guess that is the way you feel when you've got a real big charge of adrenaline in your body," said Evans. "It must have been an hour or so later when someone said, 'Hey Jack, you're bleeding,' and I looked down. By this time there were several tracks of blood going down each leg, and the blood had dried, it was that old."
For nearly 60 years, Evans' dance partner, later named Pat Thompson, wondered if the sailor survived. In 1999, she wrote a story about the jitterbug contest that was published in a veterans' newsletter. Evans happened to read it. The two connected, and as chance would have it, they discovered they had lived a mere 15 miles away from each other in San Diego for about 40 of the lost years. At the 65th anniversary in Hawaii, they shared a dance. Evans, who received a Purple Heart, served in the Navy for 33 years.

When Pearl Harbor was attacked, my father had an aunt whose son,Jimmy Cannon, was an Air Force navigator in the Pacific. Through his own research, my oldest son has contacted the pilot of the plane that Jimmy gave his life to save. He also has discovered that because Jimmy was the first American military man to be buried on Australian soil, they there was no official American flag for the burial ceremony. Not wishing to do any less for this young GI than they would their own, the Australian women designed a red, white and blue American flag to cover his coffin. Though I was a child at the time, I recall reading an article in a magazine (I believe it was "The Cosmopolitan".) which described young Jimmy Cannon's bravery and valor.

I am a niece of two Cattanach that survived the attack on Pearl Harbor. Bothers, both inb the U.S. Navy. They both have passed away. Their names were: Robert Cattanach and James Cattanach. I would like to know what ship(s) they were on and if the ship(s) were attacked by Japan. Any information would be helpful. Thank you, email@example.com

No matter where you were and what you were doing that morning, you are all heroes.

my father, Clyde R. Church, ( deceased as of September, 2009) was 20 when Pearl Harbor was bombed. He said he was heading for the mess hall to have breakfast. He and his buddies thought it was manuevers at first but it didn't take long to figure out it was the "real thing" and that they were being attacked. I have many pictures my dad left me of his time in Pearl harbor, they are priceless.

This is in response to the comment made by Agnes Chagnon above. She wonders what ship her cousin, Joseph Chagnon, was on when he died at Pearl Harbor. According to this website, http://www.usswestvirginia.org/ph/phlistalpha.php?firstletter=C, a Sgt. Joseph J. Chagnon of the U.S. Army died at Hickam Field, the Army air field next to Pearl Harbor. Although most of the casualties were naval personnel, there were numerous Army deaths. Regardless, we should never forgot these brave men and women.

My 1st cousin joseph Chagnon, was killed at pearl harbor. I was eight years old at the time. The family members lived on east 97th. st new york city, at that time. I never forgot the grief that followed. I remember the picture that was posted in life magazine, He was only 20yrs old. All of his immediate family are dead, most of my own family are also dead Did any one know him? can anyone tell me what ship he was on? thank you for any info you may be able to provide.

Its beyond me, the photographer, to think I would move so many people with this project. I graciously thank everyone who has seen this and has been stirred by this project. I am continuing in the next few days with another batch of survivors from Pearl Harbor and hopefully, the public will be able to enjoy this next set of portraits as well.
Thank you,
Marco Garcia

One of my aunts was in her apartment on Hawaii and hid under the kitchen table with her young daughter as the bombs fell. Her husband Pat McIntyre was later killed in the Pacific, he was a pilot and is mentioned in the book "Queens Die Proudly"
We cannot give enough thanks to all those men and women who served during that day, December 7th 1941 we owe them more than we can imagine. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DID DURING WWII.
Posted by Herman Jeroue on December 8,2011 | 01:21 PM
I was one of the lucky ones. I was in college when Pearl Harbor was attacked. I was allowed to finish in 1943 and was deferred until 1945 because I was the only engineer left at B.F.Goodrich by two Presidential appeals. I was finally draftedin August of 1945 because I was no longer essential. I went into the Navy and was discharged with enough points in 1946. I have a few regrets that I didn't get into the real fighting, but by the same token I feel real,real lucky.

Mr. Garcia, thank you for taking this project upon yourself. Too many people forget the sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform during the past wars and conflicts. No one did this with the survivors of World War I and now they are gone. It is important to record everything about this era. I hope that while you are photographing them, that you are also video recording them for posterity. (You know... you might be able to get a grant from the Archives or Library of Congress to help get more of this done.)

What a great and tragic story these men have told. Thank you for your service. My father was a veteran of WWII also. I know the profound effect it had on him. My parent's stories were like those of the rest of that generation. It truly was a day that changed their life and remained in their memories always. Mr. Garcia thank you for helping us remember these heroic people and their stories.

A very timely piece about a period in our history that deserves to be remembered in its entirety. "At Dawn We Slept" was aptly titled. A time of mis-information and non-information lead to Pearl Harbor. WE must be sure those who follow us learn all they can so that THEY may avoid this situation in the future.
BTW, a bomb not a torpedo fell on USS ARIZONA.

Correction, Mr. Reynolds. You earned the right for ALL Americans to criticize these failings. And for that, we thank you.
Posted by Matthew Mills on December 7,2011 | 08:28 PM
I know that was a terrable time in our nation. I was nine-years old. I hate to get political but, we were an isolationest nation at that time, led there by F.D.R We are now being led there again by our current so-called leader. I hope everyone will consider that in November, 2012.
Posted by Carl Johnson on December 7,2011 | 06:03 PM
In these men's eyes and faces I see my father, a veteran of the war, though not of Pearl Harbor. Beautiful work.

For the past couple of months we had been restricted to base on or around pay day. This hurt the Island's economy and the business men complained so by some coincidence this restriction was removed for December but I never read or heard about it, all those writings about what was known about the Japanese and the coming attack never mentioned it. So it shows even yet not all has been released about that fateful day and what all was different about it from earlier days,
Posted by Melvin Anderson on December 7,2011 | 04:33 PM
I did not serve in the navt, I was in the army at Dchofield barracks and we first thought it was practice and it was dough bags, not real explosives when the bombs were dropped. We actually called to each other from the barracks to come see the "maneuvers" but that did not last long. I have not heard much about those of us in Hawaii but not at Pearl Harbor, but we had to turn out and pull defeense at Fort Kamehameha, string barbed wire and set up final protective lines. We had jeeps [atrolling the roads and bridges, watching for sabotage but I think we missed it on that day.
Posted by Melvin Anderson on December 7,2011 | 04:26 PM
As the son of a Marine who served from Guadalcanal to Okinawa I salute these brave men who fought in WW II. I am a Viet Nam Vet and understand the commitment that it takes to do what these men did. I am sort of a historian on the War and would give anything to talk to some of these heroes. They have so muck more to tell than anything written in books. May the good Lord keep these men well and for those who have pasted on may He keep souls close to His heart. God Bless1

It is a sad commentary on those responsible for intelligence and the defense of Pearl Harbor where so much of our Navy was parked. We were totally unprepared.
I earned the right to criticize while serving 1944-45 in Europe.

Some Predictions I Made for 2008 in 2007
December 14th, 2008 -- Posted in A Political Break | 1 Comment »I don't know how many people have heard about this site but it is useful for sending yourself reminders in the future. It is called futureme.org and I often use it when there are things I would like my older self to remember. Here goes:
Dear Crian
Here are the predictions you made in 2007 for 2008, lets see if they are right:
1. Open Source will continue to grow as stated in IBM's future predictions but I think more average people will come to know the term as lets face it, 50,000 brains are better than one or even 50.
2. Gaming Sales will increase steadily with more and more average people playing games. The PS3's sales with catch up with the XBOX360 but Nintendo will stain reign supreme.
3. A private equity firm will inject billions of dollars into AMD to help them compete with Intel a bit better in the CPU and GPU market.
4. More people will sign up to Gmail as I have done with Microsoft realizing that Windows Live and Hotmail are a dying product which they will slowly reduce their efforts in respectively.
5. The Big 4 Accounting firms will continue to be hit with scandals this year as more people realize that they are too large for their own good and they go with the small-medium sized firms.
6. The increasing inflation in China reaches a breaking point and the Chinese stock market crashes with millions of people losing money around the world. The government does not have an explanation and the people of China become angry, companies start pulling out of China and move to more stable democractic economies.
7. Vietnam and South Korea prove to be what investors need, stable fast growing economies with a talented population. Both of these countries will prosper as the Chinese economy falters.
8. Hillary Clinton is elected the first female president of the United States along with Barrack Obama her vice-president. Many of the political initiatives started by the Bush Administration are reversed however the Supreme Court still fights for the conservative view of life.
9. The American economy makes a resurgence in the 4th quarter of 2008 with many analysts optimistic about the new change in presidency. Growth rate of 2% predicted for November and December.
10. People around the world continue to automate with the ideas of the "internet fridge" and other such devices not so foreign anymore. The automated home networked computer system becomes more common place.

The Mystery of the Hope Diamond
The legend is a multifaceted as the gem, spanning one billion years, three continents and leaving a trail of intrigue, envy and death (1:25)

I always visit the Hope when I'm at the Smithsonian - just to make sure you're taking good care of it for me. (I figure it's mine as well as every other American's.) The stone's rather macabre history only makes it more hypnotically gorgeous.
Posted by Carole Humphreys on December 28,2012 | 12:40 PM
How did the diamond magically get from India where it was discovered, to France? Why were the next owners "thieves" who stole it from France, when the French themselves were not called thieves for taking it from India?
Posted by Nan on November 5,2012 | 09:38 AM
So what happened to the rest of the 64.48 carats? Where are they and whom has them? is it possible there is a few 10-15 carat stones out there? maybe even a 20-25 carat stone?
Posted by conni spires on October 21,2012 | 12:29 PM
I have learned a lot on the Smithsonian emails that I get. I do not have TV so therefore I learn more by emails It was very interesting to see about The Hope Diamond. Thank you Smithsonian. I never knew about it. Thanks, Gail

Electronista: Activist group Greenpeace has released a new edition of its Guide to Greener Electronics, which ranks major high-tech corporations in terms of their alleged environmental friendliness.
Among the companies favored by Greenpeace's press efforts is Apple, which the group notes recently disclosed its carbon emissions.
Apple has risen in rankings from 11th to 9th, aided not by the disclosure but by being the "most progressive" computer maker in terms of removing product toxins.
Greenpeace comments that Apple's emissions tracking will only affect the next guide, and that the company must actually act on reducing carbon levels.
Despite holding onto 14th place, HP has been commended for the ProBook 5310m, which is said to be the company's first PC to eliminate PVC and brominated flame retardants (BFRs) from everything but the power supply and cabling.
Dell and Lenovo are criticized for postponing toxic phase-outs indefinitely, with the latter shifting in rank to second-last, ahead of Nintendo but below Fujitsu.
LG has slipped in position from 4th to 11th, as a result of dropping plans to eliminate PVC and BFRs from all products by the end of 2010.
Philips has jumped from 7th to 4th through work on recycling policies; Sony is up from 12th to 8th due to changes in waste and chemical handling. Dominating the guide this period is Nokia, followed by Samsung and Sony Ericsson.

Turning 65: Medicare Enrollment details
Tuesday, April 9th, 2013I recently wrote about who needs to enroll in Medicare and who doesn't. For some people, enrolling in Medicare is very straightforward, but this is not the case for everyone. Here are some details that can cause confusion about enrolling in Medicare.
Medicare Part A
A person who turns 65 and has employer health insurance does not need to enroll in Medicare Part B, which has a monthly premium ($104.90 in 2013). But what about Part A?
Part A has no premium. Anyone who has worked 10 years (40 quarters) and paid Medicare taxes gets Part A when they turn 65. Part A covers hospitalization, home health care, skilled nursing facility charges, and hospice.
People who delayed Part B because they continued working after 65, and kept their employer health insurance, will have different effective dates for Part A and B on their Medicare card when they finally enroll in Part B. This detail is very important when a person applies for a Medicare Advantage plan or Part D drug coverage.
Happy Birthday!
If your birthday is the first of the month, say July 1st, 1948, your Medicare doesn't begin on July 1st – it begins on June 1st. Don't ask me why.
Part D late-enrollment penalty
Part D is voluntary, but….. if you don't sign up when you are first eligible, you will face a late-enrollment penalty if you ever do enroll in a Part D plan. This applies to Medicare Advantage plans that include Part D.
I have heard stories of insurance agents who got complaints because they failed to explain this to clients who had never enrolled in Part D, but were enrolling in a Medicare Advantage plan that included drug coverage.
Here's an example: Mr. Smith is 70 years old and has been on Medicare since he turned 65 – but he never enrolled in a Part D drug plan. During the last Open Enrollment Period, he signed up for a zero-premium Medicare Advantage plan that includes Part D.
Mr. Smith was happy with all the benefits of his Advantage plan: no monthly premium; a free gym membership; free dental cleanings twice per year; reasonable co-pays to see his doctors.
Then Mr. Smith got a letter from the Medicare Advantage plan telling him he would have to pay $18 per month because of the Part D penalty.
Mr. Smith complained to his Advantage plan that his agent never informed him of the Part D penalty – and he didn't want to pay $18 for something that is supposed to be "free".
If the agent had asked Mr. Smith about his previous Part D coverage, he should have known Mr. Smith would be hit with a late-enrollment penalty.
There's one more thing the agent should have told Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith will pay this Part D penalty for as long as he is enrolled in a Part D plan. And because the penalty is based on the average cost of Part D plans throughout the country, it will go up (or down) from year to year.

Leipers Fork
It is officially fall when you reach for your Classic Softshell Jacket before the morning commute. But that does not mean that the summer is just a memory long forgotten.
Every Tuesday from now until forever we will be updating the Rapha Continental Rides section of the website. Each week will see a more in-depth look at the rides that we did this past summer. The Road Journal served as our go-to spot for continuous updates throughout the summer, but now that we have had some time to process the rides they will be going up in full.
Flickr now offers an amazing little tool in the shape of a rotating slideshow. Take a look through the photos. The Leipers Fork ride is enviable to say the least. The good folks over at Gran Fondo really know how to treat people right. If you are in the Nashville area it is worth the visit alone for their Friday afternoon Wine sessions.

In-depth BiographyThe New Haven, CT-based Hatebreed got together in 1993 for the purpose of creating a "back to basics" hardcore band with heavy, metallic guitars, screaming vocals, and 30-second songs. Consisting of Jamey Jasta (vocals), Lou "Boulder" Richards (guitar), Chris Beattie (bass), Sean Martin (guitar), and Rigg Ross (drums), Hatebreed had the chance to play throughout the East Coast while sharing the stage with the likes of Entombed, the Deftones, Slayer, and Napalm Death. By 1997, Victory Records released the quintet's debut full-length, entitled Satisfaction Is the Death of Desire. The group signed with Stillborn/Republic/Universal for 2002's Perseverance and 2003's Rise of Brutality. Supremacy arrived on Roadrunner Records in 2006, featuring new guitarist Frank Novinec (who'd previously spent time playing with Ringworm, Terror, and Integrity). Guitarist Wayne Lozinak joined the band in 2008. The band released For the Lions, a covers album, in May of 2009, followed by a new, self-titled studio album in September. ~ Mike DaRonco, Rovi

Test ID: FBALL
B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), FISH
Method Description Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
Specimens are processed in the cytogenetic laboratory using standard cytogenetic procedures. This method uses DNA probes to detect common chromosome anomalies in interphase cells from patients with ALL. The loci tested include 1q23 (PBX1), 4cen (D4Z1), 9p21 (CDKN2A), 9cen (D9Z1), 9q34 (ABL1), 10cen (D10Z1), 11q23 (MLL), 12p13 (ETV6), 17cen (D17Z1), 19p13.3 (TCF3), 21q11.2 (RUNX1), 14q32 (IGH), and 22q11.2 (BCR). A total of 500 interphase nuclei are scored for each D-FISH probe set and 200 interphase nuclei for each ND-FISH and break-apart probe (BAP)-FISH probe set. The results are expressed as percent abnormal nuclei. (Dewald GW: Unpublished Mayo information)
Day(s) and Time(s) Test Performed Outlines the days and times the test is performed. This field reflects the day and time the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time required before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means assays are performed several times during the day.
Samples processed Monday through Sunday. Results reported Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. CST.

Hooray Richard! What a good idea to have a discussion of biofilms. From experience, they also include the films that organisms use to build up fouling on the hulls of boats and inside water pipes, and there they cause a huge financial burden to shipowners, amongst others.

I demand a Cloverfield HISHE & Watchmen HISHE.
You should definitly do how leigon should have ended that movie sucked. Terrible and everyone should just die.
how bout you post some ideas to get it rolling???
There have been many submitted in the past when these movies were out. I'd rather not start all over again with new ideas they can't use rather than just insist there are people who look forward to possible HISHEs of the few.
The only idea i have for Cloverfield is this:As it is stated this is a found tape, viewed by the millitary first. Scene starts with a few scenes from the movie being fast forwarded then zooms out to show a huge screen in an underground base setting with a few officers sitting around a large talbe watching the screen.Officer 1: Those poor people. They didn't stand a chance. Still going back for a loved one... Such bravery.Officer 2: Meh, they got what's comming to them.Officer 1: How could you say that?!Officer 2: Come one! Sure it was brave and all but how stupid do you have to be that when you are this close to death you still keep filming? They should have just taken that camera from the damned idiot and go on. This way all i can think of is that the percentage of smart people have just risen by that much.
I demand a Cloverfield HISHE & Watchmen HISHE.
I DEMAND 1 MILLION DOLLARS IN UNMARKED BILLS!!!500,000 IN 20'S, 200,000 IN 1'S, 200,000 IN 5'S AND 100,000 IN 10'S!!! Also, if you could do another Star Wars one, that would be great!
Specifically Phantom Menace ... cough.
Or maybe Episode VYou know, to go in order

I was quite taken with Assaulter's debut, Salvation Like Destruction. The band's gritty black/thrash provided a more-than-adequate stop-gap while I anxiously awaited the next release by Assaulter's countrymen Destroyer 666. Thus, when Metal Blade made the digital promo for Assaulter's new release Boundless! available, I leapt at the opportunity to review it. Unfortunately, for reasons I have yet to determine, it has taken weeks for this album to sink in. Which party is to blame for this disconnect, I cannot say. Certainly I have reviewed a shitload of thrash in the two years since the release of the band's debut, so burnout is a possibility. The blame could, of course lie with Assaulter, but though Boundless! is not really grabbing me like the debut did, I am hard-pressed to find any major flaws. Although I am sure our esteemed readership finds my personal quandary fascinating, I think it might be best for me shelve further contemplation of the matter, and inform said readership of what to expect on Boundless!
For starters, the Assaulter line-up has been revamped and expanded to a trio. Founder, guitarist, bassist and vocalist S. Berserker is joined on Boundless! by erstwhile Razor of Occam drummer Peter Hunt and new lead guitarist T. Hellfinder. While the line-up change is fairly dramatic, with Berserker still holding the reins, the resulting effect on Assaulter's sound is fairly subtle.
Assaulter and Destroyer 666 still share a strong musical kinship, but on Boundless!, Assaulter has streamlined its sound, and the epic feel of Salvation Like Destruction is less prevalent. With a few notable exceptions, song lengths have been trimmed, resulting in a hard-charging, meat-and-potatoes affair that leans much closer to the thrash side than the black side of things. Even on the album's one epic-length track, the eight minute and change "The Great Subterfuge", there is precious little fucking around; the band hits just as hard, only for longer. The pacing of the songs on Boundless! is generally fast, but not frantic. Hunt's heavy-handed but restrained pounding gives a feeling of inexorable forward motion, but the proceedings never descend into chaos. The songs are unrelenting, but never grating. Melody on Boundless!, however, is not entirely forsaken: Hellfinder proves his worth with tasteful injections of nimble, thematic soloing and the occasional harmonized passage.
One notable positive change on Boundless! is the quality of the production, which seemed to be a sticking point for many on Salvation Like Destruction. I enjoyed that album's raw, ragged sound, but I have to admit that the music did seem to get a bit clogged on its way out of the speakers. I am happy to report that Boundless! is a much clearer sounding record, but not so polished as to dull the music's edge.
I think my initial difficulty in wrapping my head around Boundless! was due to fact that I was looking for something that was not there. Assaulter is not re-inventing the wheel; they are just straight-up kicking ass, thoroughly and consistently. You can't really argue with that. If you enjoyed Salvation Like Destruction, Boundless! should hit the spot for you as well -- it just might take a little while. Fans of Destroyer 666 and Ares Kindgom would also be well served to give Boundless! a listen.

Very wrong -- there's there's -- there's a memo that there's a there's a message out there that poor people are the ones who commit terrorism all the studies that I've studied -- it's definitely.
This all studies show that is not the case if you look at those who commit terrorism are generally better educated and and better off that in the society at large yes -- Ride I'm not all of the brother of terrorists of the what the protesters with two different groups to go lap got a lot of protesters are people who don't have jobs.

Musharraf, Pervez
The latest news on Musharraf, Pervez
Details remain murky of former president's involvement in assassination of iconic leader.
The former military dictator returned from exile in an unsuccessful bid to run for parliament.
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Former Pakistani military ruler Pervez Musharraf and his security team pushed past policemen and sped away from a court in the country's capital on Thursday to avoid arrest after his bail was revoked in a case in which he is accused of treason.
The agreement to reinstate the ousted Supreme Court chief justice could defuse a paralyzing crisis.
With a history of coups, Pakistanis are keeping a close eye on the generals.
Diplomat sends message of reassurance to Washington about Pakistan's commitment to counterterrorism.
The president of Pakistan resigns, and the Georgia crisis continues, as does the Iraq war.
Pressure builds for Pervez Musharraf to resign and leave the country.
But the struggling leader might still withstand efforts to oust him.
Calling in Scotland Yard won't stop the conspiracy theories over her death.

If you've ever been attacked by a coyote you can comprehend what happened to Sheryl Allred of Bountiful.
"All of the sudden coyotes came from everywhere," said Sheryl Allred, surrounded by coyotes.
Last month Allred was walking her two dogs along the Bonneville Shoreline Trail in Davis County when she said a pack of coyotes surrounded them.
"They weren't scared of you at all?" asked ABC 4 Reporter Brian Carlson.
"No, it's almost like they were laughing at me," said Allred.
But Allred didn't think it was funny, she thought her dogs were going to die.
"I think my dogs could be doomed and then I started thinking you know what I don't have any weapons, so if these coyotes are not scared of me and they decide that I look like something they want to eat, I could be had," said Allred.
Fortunately for Allred the coyotes backed off. But wildlife expert John Shivik with Utah's Department of Natural Resources said right now it's not unusual for bold coyotes to try and protect their terrain.
"January, February, March is when they're breeding and guarding their territory," said John Shivik, Mammal Coordinator, Utah Dept. of Natural Resources.
If coyotes come after you and your dog, what should you do? Shivik said if your dog is small enough pick it up, do it, then make yourself big, you can even throw sticks at them. The key is not to panic, then slowly back away.
If you ask Allred, she's hoping doesn't have to deal with the coyotes again.
"It was a little adventurous," said Allred.

Details were still scarce Wednesday evening, although Sgt. Steve Guthrie of the Woodland Police Department confirmed that the incident, which apparently happened near the Charles Brooks Community Swim Pool, was "an altercation between two individuals that had nothing to do with the school at all."
That school is Woodland High, which was briefly put on lockdown following the incident "as a precautionary measure," Guthrie said.
He also confirmed that "One person was stabbed and is being treated" at Woodland Memorial. Guthrie said in a statement that a 17-year-old Woodland resident, not a student at Woodland High, suffered a single non-threatening stab wound.
The victim was attacked by two unknown white male suspects, who fled the area in an older model silver Chrysler with tinted windows. At the time of this release, the motive for the fight is not known and there is no known relationship to fight and the Woodland High School other than the close proximity in which the fight occurred, Guthrie said.
Reports originally began coming in at around 1:45 p.m. that a fight with weapons had occurred and that police were searching for a suspect or suspects. The assailant appeared to remain at large as of 4 p.m. Wednesday.
According to Tom Pritchard, assistant superintendent of human resources for the Woodland Joint Unified School District, an automated "call-out" was sent to Woodland High School recipients Wednesday afternoon providing details from the Woodland Police Department.
The call-out stated that "there was a crime committed off campus on the corner of West and Woodland avenues after school today. Police advised school administration and the school was put on lockdown."
It also stated that students were escorted to their rides home after school ended. Wednesday was an early day at Woodland High.
According to the notice, "As a precautionary measure, all athletic practices and games scheduled for after school today have been canceled as the suspect is still at large. At this time law enforcement does not feel that Woodland High School is in any danger, however we will remain in contact with them this afternoon and tomorrow morning."
The suspect's identity remained unknown as of Wednesday evening.
Class was expected to resume as usual on Thursday. Two events scheduled for Wednesday evening - described as "Herff Jones orders" and a college application seminar - had not been canceled.
The Woodland Police Department is currently investigating this matter as an assault with a deadly weapon and anyone with information is encouraged to call 661-7800. Callers can remain anonymous.

Help! Is Freya the one?
Hello All,
I am desperately hoping that some lovely namberries can help me...
I am currently pregnant with baby girl #3, due in July. DD1 is named Phoebe Rose and DD2 is named Imogen Frances (but insists on being called Immy!). Hubby and I have fallen in love with the name Freya, Freya Margaret to be exact, but we are unsure if it really fits in terms of style with the other girls?? What does everyone think? Do Phoebe, Imogen and Freya make a good sib-set? Is the repeating fff sound of Phoebe and Freya too close?
We don't really have any promising back-ups at this stage other than Eve and Grace, both of which I think are a little too 'safe'...
Thanks in advance for your help, H.
May 7th, 2013 11:52 AM #3
Freya and Phoebe do repeat the Fs, but I just said it out loud a few times, and I don't get tripped up, so I think it will be fine. I think Phoebe, Imogen, and Freya make a darling sibset. It is infinitely better than Eve or Grace... both lovely names, but they fall short against Phoebe and Imogen, while Freya does not. It's clear you love it... use it. Freya Margaret is a beautiful name.

4 Healthy Cooking Methods That Take Make the Most Of Salmon Health Benefits
Salmon is one of the most versatile types of fish. It can be cooked many different ways so the entire family can enjoy a tasty variety of salmon health benefits. People who are knowledgeable about salmon nutrition facts know the first step in cooking salmon is defrosting it if it's been previously frozen. The best way to defrost the fish is in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to maintain its taste and nutrients. If possible, keep the skin on while cooking to prevent the flaky fish from falling apart. Because there are so many healthy ways to prepare salmon, you'll just need to pick the one you like best to enjoy the many salmon health benefits.
Baking Salmon
Salmon tastes great when it's baked and it's so easy to do! Invite guests over for this meal and you'll have them asking for the recipe. Just mix together some melted butter, lemon juice, chopped onions, minced garlic and a little fresh or dried dill. Toss the fish in the mix and place the pan in the oven for 20 minutes. The fish is done when it flakes easily. Here are the salmon nutrition facts for one salmon fillet:
• 253 calories
• 10 grams fat
• 78 milligrams cholesterol
• 73 grams sodium
• 637 milligrams potassium
• 1 gram carbohydrates
• 37 grams protein
Poaching Salmon
Salmon is easy to poach and the outcome is delicious. There are two ways to poach salmon and the more common method is by using the stove. Combine a mixture of white wine, onions, carrots, water and any other spices you'd like in a frying pan. Once the mixture is boiling, add the salmon, cover and turn the heat down for 10-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Salmon can also be poached in the oven or microwave, but it will need to be covered to cook properly. The salmon nutrition facts vary by the ingredients used to poach, but here's a general guideline:
• 421 calories
• 25.8 grams fat
• 122 milligrams cholesterol
• 162 milligrams sodium
• 755 milligrams potassium
• 1.9 grams carbohydrates
• 39.5 grams protein
Smoking Salmon
Smoking salmon is a little more difficult than other cooking methods, but it's a great way to preserve the salmon health benefits and the rewards will pay off. The first step is to make a solution using one part brown sugar and two parts salt mixed in water with your favorite spices. Marinate the salmon steaks in this mixture for two hours inside the refrigerator. When that's finished, rinse off the fish and place it in a special smoking rack and place back in the refrigerator for another 12 hours. Finish your salmon by placing it in a 150 degree over for half an hour and you're ready to eat. One fillet offers the following salmon nutrition facts:
• 159 calories
• 6 grams fat
• 31 milligrams cholesterol
• 1066 milligrams sodium
• 0 carbohydrates
• 25 grams protein
Grilling Salmon
Grilling is a quick and easy way to cook salmon and preserve salmon health benefits. About an hour before you want to eat, marinate the fillets in your favorite marinade. Place the fish on a cedar plank that's been submerged in water for a couple hours or just place the fish on the grill. Salmon grills quickly so you'll just need 10-15 minutes and you'll be ready to eat. One steak offers the following salmon nutrition facts:
• 250 calories
• 5g fat
• 100.39mg cholesterol
• 120.47mg sodium
• 0.52g carbohydrates
• 32g protein
Salmon is healthy and delicious, no matter how you cook it. Because the fish is so versatile and can be cooked in so many ways, it's easy to have a different meal full of salmon health benefits every week.

Municipal Broadband Studies
Over the past five years, the City commissioned various studies to determine the feasibility of a municipal deployment of fiber to the home (FTTH). The studies indicated that the cost to the City to construct its own FTTH network would be in the hundreds of millions of dollars – well beyond what was financially feasible. The City believed it would be more prudent to investigate public-private partnership opportunities where a private entity, rather than City taxpayers, would assume financial risk. The most recent such study was produced by CTC in September 2009.

Black Tea
Why Golden Moon's Black Tea
What is Black Tea?
Where Black Tea Comes From
Health Benefits of Black Tea
History of Black Tea
What Black Tea Tastes like
Not all black teas should taste the same. Golden Moon's black teas have that wonderful full bodied flavor that these teas are known for. Our Black Teas also have complex notes that pop on your palate as the flavor lingers on your tongue. Each of our black teas uses the largest tea leaves possible, giving you a tea drinking experience that is unparalleled.
Black Tea is the most popular form of tea in the Western World. They are often sipped in the morning with the addition of milk and sugar. Some common black teas are English Breakfast Tea, Earl Grey (a flavored Black Tea,) and Irish Breakfast Tea. Black Teas are fully oxidized, giving them their full body and their characteristic dark color in the dry tea leaf.
There are three main countries that produce Black Tea - China, India and Sri Lanka. Each of these countries has their own styles of producing black teas. Chinese Black Tea often has hints of smokiness and a full flavor. Indian Black Teas are more on the malty side, with a richer flavor. Finally, Sri Lanka produces a cleaner tasting Black Tea that has a sharper flavor due to their characteristic astringency.
While Green Tea has been getting a lot of attention due to its health benefits, Black Tea is also extremely healthy in its own right. Black Tea has a high concentration of theaflavins and thearubigens which have a lot of health benefits that are normally attributed to green tea. Studies have shown that Black Tea can reduce cholesterol, reduce the chance of stoke and it lowers the risk of heart disease by 50%.
The story of black tea dates back to the 16th century, China. According to legend, there were soldiers passing through the village of Tong Mu at nighttime. Needing a rest, the soldiers made a makeshift bed by using a pile of tea leaves. The next morning the leaves had turned black and a new style of tea was born.
Black teas should have a full body, with a strong flavor. High quality black teas usually have notes of sweetness on the finish. These notes range from citrus to molasses. Due to their strong flavor, black tea is often served with milk and sweetener and they are also often labeled as "Breakfast Tea."

Fluorescent tomato sauce for the pies sold at the SCG this week would have been a great promotion for both Heinz and the Jane McGrath Foundation.
However, in mid year when the sauce for my McDondald's fries was fluro pink - it was cause for real concern. On inspection, the packaging on the faulty product read "Heinz, manufactured in Qingdao". You may remember Qingdao as the coastal city engulfed in fluro green seaweed prior to the China Olympic Yachting events.
I have visited Qingdao several times as my brother teaches at a Qingdao University. Whilst the area is less polluted than other areas of China, the tomato farms are small and fragmented compared to their Australian counterparts. As such, quality control of herbicides, pesticides and fertiliser would be almost impossible. Whilst Qingdao factories, although not old, operate without the environmental, labour and consumer protection laws that exist in Australia.

God of War 3: Worst game ever …
That's right, worst game ever.
Every time a new version of God of War is inserted into the console, that old familiar feeling of dread takes hold.
The dread that nothing productive is going to get done in the near future.
No yard work. No household chores. Shoot, sleep will even be a challenge.
I had no idea what I was in for when this series came out a few years back. I remember getting home from work around midnight with nothing on the agenda, so I busted open this new game I had heard a few rumblings about. The next thing I knew the morning sun was shinning in through the window. No joke.

New York, New York: In the aftermath of President Bush's prime-time war cry for escalation from the White House Library, the network newscasters were skeptical about his chances for success but seemed to be impressed by his willingness to stand up for what they think he believes, like some lone but gutsy hero on the prairie.
Much of the commentary deals with him as the beleaguered leader standing strong against public opinion but doing what he feels he had to do. The subtext was you just have to admire that man This is the very positioning his image managers cultivated.
The focus was on one man speaking to one camera, standing alone in a library, a White House room you had a sense with which he was unfamiliar, speaking to the teleprompter, reading someone else's words with as much well-practiced conviction as he could muster. The tone was reasonable because of his many claims of having listened to advice from his team and even his critics.
There was no analysis of who wrote the speech or the attitudes of his many Generals and advisors who disagreed with its thrust. There was no reminder that the Iraqi military actually opposed it. He positively cited the Iraq Survey Group whose recommendations he had actually rejected, as in, "in keeping with the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group, we will increase the embedding of American advisers in Iraqi Army units and partner a Coalition brigade with every Iraqi Army division.†He dropped Joe Lieberman's name, a democrat rejected by the Democratic base who is now aligned with Republican John McCain.
The chutzpah (and cynicism) dripped from one sentence to the next.
For the newscasters, this war debate is now only between the Congress and the White House. PBS ran the Democratic response by Senator Charles Durbin who explained why his plan can't work and won't work. No one else did. Most of the networks offered only one side as usual.
As for the public and the anti-war movement they were briefly heard chanting slogans outside the White House but not seen on CBS. The anti-war activists are always marginalized in the debate.
The substance of the speech--its assumptions, claims and policy direction was not subjected to any scrutiny. There was no analysis of likely consequences especially the threats to attack
Activist David Swanson commented:
"Bush just claimed he was making Americans more safe with his occupation of
Bush just claimed he cared about
The media WILL report on Bush's posture, tone of voice, tie color, and attitude. The trivial will be made into the gargantuan. The important will be slipped in sideways, quietly, in the form of an unstated assumption that the "surge" is already underway and out of Congress's hands to stop--an action that would be indecent anyway.
The media will not ask or try to answer what Bush means when he says "victory." The media will not raise the question of what this war is being fought for. The media will depict the anti-war movement as striving ultimately only for a rejection of the "surge." No mention will be made of efforts to de-escalate and end the war. And the media will continue to call the "surge" a surge, gradually dropping the quotation marks.
The media will not show us the Iraqi people killed and injured by our war."
So there you have it. Bushaganda again! We are in the year 2007 in a war that has lasted longer than World War 2. This outrage has been underway since 2002--before the first cruise missiles were fired--when the Congress shamefully rubberstamped Bush's demand for authority to make war. And yet, there is almost no context offered.
Everyone in the media knows its not working, that we are losing, that its implementation has been, in the words of the title of Washington Post military writer Tom Ricks book "a fiasco.†Everyone knows that the contractors are ripping us off, and that men and women are dying for nothing. Everyone knows that this war is shaming
There is no sense of decency this war does not offend.
The public has defected. The world has turned against us. The Iraqis want us gone. All the wisest policy wonks who have studied it agree that the only sensible recourse is to get out fast as we can.
And yet two institutions seem stuck in this big muddy. One is the White House, desperate to hang on and achieve something, anything, it can use to justify the most mismanaged war in history and call it "victory." George Bush increasingly resembles Captain Ahab in this drama.
The words continue to pour out along with his assurances that more will die, and that carnage is the likely initial; response. As Tom Engelhard explained:
"[L]ast night's "surge" was mainly a surge of words, twenty-minutes worth, 2,898 of them. In the build-up to the speech, as almost every last detail of it was leaked to the media, untold hundreds of thousands of words surged onto news pages, onto the TV news, into talk radio chatter, and on-line -- and so many hundreds of thousands more, these included, will follow in the days to come.â€
He quotes the Christian Science Monitor that the likely response to these words will be more words from Congress—but little more. The first polls show the people oppose it--but many pols are willing to give "THE PLAN" a chance even though no one thinks it has any chance of suceeding. Most don't want the responsibility of coming up with a plan of their own.
The other party to the bloodletting to come is the media, which can't and won't learn from its mistakes, which can't and won't refuse to stop reinforcing this crime against our constitution and humanity. It is the media which collectively lacks the guts and gumption to refuse to carry more White House propaganda, to scrutinize the options and give more air time to the critics. It is stuck in the business of legitimizing institutions that have lost all credibility. In Britian, in contrast, Channel 4 will be airing a program on the crimes of Tony Blair.
I wrote two books about these media crimes and made the film WMD about the fusion of news and propaganda. Unfortunately, they remain all too relevant. I continue to add what thoughts and little passion I have to rail against the media war, what my former colleague David Degraw now labels the "Art of Mental Warfare†in a bold new book vivisecting the ways public opinion is moulded by invisible rulers.
The problem is that many of those rulers and their operatives are well known to us, well "branded†in our brains, recognized by their logos and mediagenic personalities. We know who they are, but are we ready to do what we have to do about them--turn them off, tune them out, and build an oppositional media word that we can support and learn from? Are we ready to realize that the media is part of the war and has to be taken to task.

Body scanner ruling could squelch NSA domestic spying
A high-profile group of technologists and privacy advocates is attempting to halt domestic surveillance of Americans through a clever twist: using federal bureaucratic rules against federal bureaucrats.
In a request today to National Security Agency director Keith Alexander and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, the group argues that the NSA's recently revealed domestic surveillance program is "unlawful" because the agency neglected to request public comments first. A federal appeals court previously ruled that was necessary in a lawsuit involving airport body scanners.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must be patient as you wait for the coming of the Lord.
Courageous patience
7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must be patient as you wait for the coming of the Lord. Consider the farmer who waits patiently for the coming of rain in the fall and spring, looking forward to the precious fruit of the earth. 8 You also must wait patiently, strengthening your resolve, because the coming of the Lord is near. 9 Don't complain about each other, brothers and sisters, so that you won't be judged. Look! The judge is standing at the door!
10 Brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord as an example of patient resolve and steadfastness.

At A Glance...
25 September - 30 October 2012
If you have ever said 'I love music, but I'm not musical' – this is for you!
A brand new project devised by Simon Callaghan, sound collective and Conway Hall, in collaboration with Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, Greenwich.
MusicUpClose is a new series of performing events based at Conway Hall. Professional musicians and postgraduate students from Trinity Laban will be helping to illuminate not only specific pieces of classical music, but also the way in which they think about music and performing.
This series is designed for those who have an interest or even a passion for music – but feel they don't know how it works. If you have ever said 'I love music, but I'm not musical' – this is for you!
The interactive series will be presented in a non-patronising fashion, excluding unnecessary technical terms, and will allow the audience to ask questions and explore what goes on in the minds of players during rehearsals and performances. The locations will be intimate and the performers will be – as the title suggests – up close.
Our first series will take place over six weeks and will use Beethoven as a starting point for our exploration of numerous topics. In the final event, a large chamber orchestra will perform Beethoven's iconic Symphony No.5.
Tickets for each session are priced at £10, or £55 for all six sessions.

Sunday Lecture - Free Speech! Libel Reform in the last chance saloon
Sun 7 Oct 2012, 11.00
After 3 years and support from 100 civil society organisations and 60,000 people the Libel Reform Campaign has secured a parliamentary bill to reform the law of libel. This huge achievement spurred on by the cause célèbre of Simon Singh, Hardeep Singh and Dr. Pete Wilmshurst is testament to the ability of campaigns to make a change. However, the bill still fails to provide a decent public interest defence, doesn't tackle the ability of corporations to bully people using the law of libel and doesn't contain any detail on provisions to help internet hosts and intermediaries.
Mike Harris from Index on Censorship will explain the problem, how the campaign has spurred people on to find a solution, and how the Bill can be improved.
Open to all. No need to book in advance.
MusicUpClose - Session 3
9 Oct 2012, 19.00
An Unanswered Question: how do composers 'compose'?
How do composers think up all this music? Where do their ideas come from? Is composing akin to writing a novel with a plot, a structure, and pacing? Was contemporary music received in a similar way to the modern day at the time Beethoven was composing? Put your questions to two living composers.

Sunday Lecture - A Scientific Odyssey across America
Sun 14 Oct 2012, 11.00
In May 2012, Neil Denny embarked upon a month long, 6614 mile road trip across America.
The journey was to produce a series of interviews which present a wide-ranging overview of science and skepticism from an American perspective. While Many in Europe consider America to be the home of conspiracy theories, creationism and climate scepticism, the USA is also a scientific powerhouse. However many of those involved in science in the US are also fighting encroaching irrationality.
To be an atheist in America is still considered to be a brave and transgressive act. Creationists continue to push for the teaching of "intelligent design" alongside evolution in science classes. Campaigners are fighting to protect the right to legal and safe abortion, for the use of stem cells in medical research, and are fighting against the growing anti-vaccination movement.
Driving from San Francisco to Boston and calling in at Phoenix, Santa Fe, Chicago, Philadelphia and New York along the way. Neil recorded 39 interviews with scientists and science writers including Ann Druyan, Leonard Susskind, Kip Thorne, Priya Natarajan, Paul Davies, George Church, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Mary Roach, Edward Stone and Sara Seager.
He recorded interviews at some major sites of scientific interest, including NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, The Los Alamos National Laboratory, and The American Museum of Natural History. He also spent a less scientific day visiting Kentucky's Creation Museum.
Neil Denny is the presenter and producer of the Little Atoms Radio Show on Resonance FM, which was shortlisted for a Physics.org Best Podcast Award in 2010 and has interviewed over 200 guests from the worlds of science, journalism, politics, religion, academia, human rights and the arts. He is a 2012 Travelling Fellow of the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust.

The School of Life Sunday Sermon: Edmund De Waal on Tact
Sun 14 Oct 2012, 11.00
Join Edmund de Waal for a journey along the fine line that separates the tactful from the tactless.
The potter and writer Edmund de Waal is among the most subtle and eloquent of artists at work today. His international bestseller The Hare with the Amber Eyes (2010) is celebrated as one of the most extraordinary memoirs ever written. What lies at its core is his masterful handling of details and silences: a rare kind of tact with a particular power.
De Waal warns that tact is a dangerous virtue. As a wise man once said, tact 'is the ability to make a person see lightening without letting him feel the bolt.' One poorly judged move and we're in trouble. We need to be at our most diplomatic when the stakes are high. But, in our fast-paced high-pressure culture, where we fire off blunt messages without a second glance, we're at risk of losing this vital art.
De Waal will share with us what he has discovered about the art of tact from a adulthood spent exploring the delicacy of porcelain alongside the difficulty of the unsaid. He will draw on examples from the fields of poetry, music and the visual arts, as well as everyday life, to take us on a life-enhancing journey along the fine line that separates the tactful from the tactless.
Edmund de Waal is a leading ceramicist and the author of the international bestseller The Hare with the Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance (2010), for which he won the Costa Biography Award and the RSL Ondaatje Prize. He recently created major ceramic installations for the V&A and Tate Britain. His current exhibition, at Waddesdon Manor until 28 October, examines collecting, and how objects are kept together, lost, stolen or dispersed.

Variations on a theme…
Many composers wrote 'variations'. What exactly does this mean? How is the music varied? With the same ideas being repeated, how do composers avoid the music becoming boring? Beethoven's take on the variation form will be used as a starting point for this discourse.

Officials say the fire originated in Beto's restaurant at 3585 S. Harrison Blvd and racked up at least $20,000 in water, smoke and fire damage.
Fire officials say the sprinkler system was activated and extinguished the majority of the fire and crews were able to quickly take care of the still burning south wall of the building.
Smoke from the fire also affected an adjacent Little Caesars Pizza building, and property owners for both businesses were contacted and responded to the scene according to investigators.
Officials say three people were evacuated from the Beto's restaurant, and there were no injuries associated with this fire.
Fire investigators say the incident is another example of the benefits of sprinkler systems in businesses, and that the early activation played a huge role in the suppression and potential spread of the fire.
