Falun Gong-Linked Media Venture Makes Waves, Raises Questions
New America Media, News Analysis, Eugenia Chien Posted: May 16, 2006
Editor's Note: When a protester shouted at Chinese President Hu Jintao during his visit to the White House last month, she brought attention not just to China's harsh treatment of Falun Gong practitioners, but to a growing, U.S.-based media company linked to the spiritual group. Eugenia Chien is a reporter and Chinese media monitor for New America Media.
SAN FRANCISCO--Until a Falun Gong protester used press access issued to the Epoch Times to shout over Chinese President Hu Jintao at the White House last month, few outside the Chinese community were aware of the newspaper's connection to the spiritual group.
"President Bush, stop Hu Jintao's persecution of Falun Gong! Stop the killings!" Wang yelled before being escorted away.
In interviews after the incident, Wang told the international press that her outburst stemmed from her concern about organ harvesting in China, an issue that the newspaper has covered for months. The Epoch Times has run stories reporting that the Chinese Communist Party is harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners.
Religious groups and political movements have historically turned to the media as a way to express their opinions. But the New York-based Epoch Times, with its vast distribution and access to the Chinese community, presents a unique and influential way to bring solidarity to an embattled religious group that aims to have its voice heard. Along the way, some critics have called the newspaper's credibility into question.
Falun Gong is a spiritual group that practices a form of qigong, breathing exercises that are associated with martial arts and meditation. After Falun Gong was outlawed in China in 1999 as an "evil cult," many practitioners were arrested and tortured. According to a 2004 Amnesty International report, "detained Falun Gong practitioners, including large numbers of women, were at risk of torture, including sexual abuse, particularly if they refused to renounce their beliefs." In 2001, Ian Johnson of the Wall Street Journal won the Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on the torture and death of a Falun Gong practitioner in China.
Today, Falun Gong is one of the most vocal of China critics. The Chinese government estimates that there are 70 million practitioners of Falun Gong in China.
Soon after Falun Gong was banned, a group of overseas Chinese who were Falun Gong practitioners founded the Epoch Times in 2000 in Atlanta, with a mission to "uphold universal human values, rights, and freedoms," according to the newspaper's Web site.
The Epoch Times now distributes in over 30 countries worldwide, with a weekly circulation of 1.5 million. Its circulation, like many ethnic newspapers, is not audited by the Audit Bureau of Circulation. The newspaper's English edition launched in New York in 2004 and rapidly grew. In New York alone, the newspaper has a 150,000 weekly distribution, in addition to 40,000 home deliveries, according to the newspaper.
Chinese-language editions of the Epoch Times are scattered in Chinese restaurants, supermarkets, and Chinese bookstores in 500 American cities including Los Angeles, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Houston. Shiny newspaper boxes of its English edition rest on tree-lined suburban sidewalks and busy downtowns.
Some in the overseas Chinese community see the Epoch Times as one of the few newspapers not controlled by the Chinese government. But others see it primarily as a mouthpiece for Falun Gong.
The newspaper frequently runs editorials critical of China and is heavy on stories of human rights abuses, particularly against Falun Gong practitioners. Coverage often includes pictures of Falun Gong practitioners the paper describes as scarred by electrodes or bruised by severe beating.
Typically a 16-page broadsheet, the Epoch Times also runs mainstream newswire stories and can resemble a community newspaper, with reports of local school budget, recipe swaps and a community calendar of jazz concerts.
The newspaper denies any direct ties to Falun Gong.
"We are not funded by Falun Gong, we don't speak for Falun Gong, and we don't represent Falun Gong," said Epoch Times spokesperson Stephen Gregory.
The Epoch Times is hardly the only newspaper owned by a religious group in the United States. In fact, the Christian Science Monitor, founded by the Church of Christ, Scientist, and the Deseret Morning News, founded by the Church of Latter Day Saints in Salt Lake City, and The Washington Times, owned by the Unification Church, are prominent examples of newspapers owned by religious groups.
Though some of these newspapers have been criticized for shying away from negative news about their parent organizations, many of them viewed as independent.
"The Christian Science Monitor is considered one of the most even-handed, sober, and unsensationalistic newspapers," said James Bettinger, a Communications professor at Stanford University and the director of the John S. Knight Journalism Fellowships.
Though the Washington Times is perceived as conservative, Bettinger said, it does not proselyte church doctrine.
"The owners of the Washington Times have always guaranteed the newspaper's editorial independence, an independence which I have never known them to violate in my 19 years here," said Fran Coombs, managing editor of the Washington Times.
In contrast, many in the overseas Chinese community see the Epoch Times as a Falun Gong newspaper.
"Among the readers from mainland China, this is a kind of propaganda for Falun Gong group," said Liu Kang, the director of the Program in Chinese Media and Communication Studies at Duke University. "It is not viewed as an independent objective news media," he said.
"Even if the Epoch Times is not associated with Falun Gong, if they consistently write about Falun Gong in the same perspective, or if there are no articles examining Falun Gong, people would perceive it as being not credible," Bettinger said.
Many of the Epoch Times' critics, including Liu, say the paper does not adhere to basic journalistic standards of professionalism and objectivity.
In the newspaper's stories of human rights abuses, many sources are unnamed. For example, in the article that prompted Wang's outburst at the White House, transcripts of telephone conversations between unnamed sources in Chinese hospitals and an unnamed Falun Gong researcher were used to support allegations of organ harvesting.
Cindy Gu, communications director for the Epoch Times, said that the newspaper needed to protect the identity of their sources.
"We have the names of the hospital employees in the original recording of the conversation, but we had to omit them for their safety," Gu said.
Gregory characterizes the newspaper as a start-up business run by people who share the same passion to defend human rights. He says that many Epoch Times staff work part-time and that revenue comes from advertising.
Wang, Gregory says, worked closely with witnesses of organ harvesting and was "calling attention to the most important human rights abuse in China."
"She knew we are facing a crisis in China, where Falun Gong practitioners are being killed. She knew the story wasn't covered in China. She had no choice," he said.
Gregory said he was not concerned with any possible fallout from Wang's protest.
"If we lose press access in the White House, that's not the worst thing in the world," Gregory said. "It wouldn't damage our credibility as a newspaper -- our reporting stands for itself."
Duke University's Liu isn't so sure.
"The Epoch Times' credibility is damaged as media professionals," Liu said. "I think they have done a disservice to themselves."

NewAmericaMedia, I have reasons to believe Dr. Wang Wenyi may have supplied autopsy photo to Epoch Times and they twisted the grisly photo into evidence of torture and vivisection.
I sent Epoch Times' dead body photo to a pathologist and he disagreed with Dr. Wang and Epoch's claim:
(Here's the photo: http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4630/2732/1600/wang_bin_torture.jpg)
- there's no neck organ suitable for transplantation.
- the elaborate incision around the neck area is to reveal the hyoid bone for signs of strangulation. It's only done for murder investigation. If it is as alleged, the Chinese government wouldn't bother.
- the baseball suture is applied posthumousely and typical of autopsy.
I can forward you the pathologist's response if you would like to see it.

Publicizing the atrocities of the CCP is not a political act. It is an act of extreme compassion and humanity. Killing people for profit is wrong. Killing people to terrorize the general population is wrong. There are many people who need to be reminded of these facts of humanity.
So, go ahead and look at the financial disclosure for the non-profit groups founded or funded by Falun Gong volunteers. You won't find anything wrong. The only reason these groups exist is to bring public awareness to the atrocities being committed by the CCP. Otherwise, there is no reason to establish non-profit groups with absolutely no political agenda.

Regarding the financial connection between Falun Gong and Epoch Times, here are two examples of the money trail found on the non-profit declaration (Form 990, Page 2, Part III c):
- Southern USA Falun Dafa Association. $10,350 were given to Epoch Times in 2002, $22,700 in 2003, $14,750 in 2004:
- Falun Dafa Association of New England. $57,609 were spent on computer and print media, $97,755 in 2003, $116,823 in 2004:
These are but two examples of the hundreds of FLG non-profits in USA. IMHO who pays for Epoch Times is not a secret, but where these FLG non-profits get their money is. I seem to remember seeing a 1999 form 990 form, showing 6-digit contributions from places like the NED.
Now, look at Epoch Times NY's discredited "Auschwitz" allegation timed to smear Hu during his stateside visit, and prominent NYC FLG figures like Mr. Zhang Erping's "world without communis" connection with Freedom House. Who pays for FH is also not a secret, but isn't FLG supposed to be non-political?
I, as a layman, has neither the time nor the resource to scrutinze this, but I hope New America Media will.

I am from Argentina, and I just want to say that i think that Dr. Wenyi Wang is a very brave woman. She was able to stand up and talk about the brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. I have read the "Nine Commentaries" which trully reveals the evil nature of the Chinese Communist Party.I think that not only chinese citizents needs to read this book. Thank you!

A final note about the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong. It has continued unabated for 7 years. Never before in the history of the CCP has any other "class enemy" been able to resist the CCP's violent persecution as the Falun Gong has - with its adherence to nonviolence. This is major news in China - as much as the CCP would like it not to be. It would be remiss of Epoch Times to not cover it, as it is for the rest of the western media. Read ninecommentaries.com. You will understand how the CCP uses "class enemies" to eliminate targeted groups while terrorizing the general public. It is their modus operandi.

Sujiatun was revealed by 3 Chinese people, none of whom are practitioners of Falun Gong. The first is a Chinese journalist who spent 3 years researching the story, then tried to get the story told to the western media. Only Epoch Times picked up on the story, and helped this person be heard by the western press and govt officials. The 2nd is a former nurse at Sujiatun's hospital. Her ex-husband was the surgeon responsible for removing the corneas from living Falun Gong practitioners. They've been subject to death threats from the CCP since they went public. The 3rd is a military doctor who revealed that the CCP has categorized Falun Gong as a "class enemy" - which means they are to be exterminated - as 80 million others have in the past 60 years from similar genocidal campaigns. This doctor revealed the existence of 36 concentration camps around China that handles the live organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners. This has since been confirmed by various independent sources who called to speak with doctors at these hospitals while recording their conversations (SkyTV, WOIPFG, SOH Radio). The doctors confirmed that the organ donors are living Falun Gong practitioners. This is why officials in Canada, Australia, Great Britain and the US are pushing for further investigation. The military doctor also said that it is pointless to check out Sujiatun, because it's easy to transport thousands of people at night under armed military guard. He's seen it done. China's live organ harvesting of executed prisoners for profit has been well documented by the State Dept., various media groups, human rights groups and by the United Nations - their reports are a matter of public record. ABC's Primetime did a 3 month undercover investigation on China's organ harvesting in 1997, for which they won an award and led to the State Dept's 2001 Congressional hearing on this evil practice (see http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/rm/2001/3792.htm). The fact remains that after 1999, the number of these organ harvesting cases in China have more than tripled - coinciding with the persecution of Falun Gong. For the best source on the CCP - read ninecommentaries.com. Over 10 million Chinese people have renounced their CCP memberships after reading "The 9 Commentaries on the Communist Party."
Finally, according to the 2006 State of the Media Report, sponsored by Columbia University's School of Journalism, newspapers typically rely on anonymous sources for their stories. It is common practice. The following is a quote from the Media Report: (see http://www.stateofthemedia.org/2006/narrative_newspapers_contentanalysis.asp?cat=2&media=3)
"In previous years, our content studies of newspapers, conducted over 28 randomly selected days, gave a general picture of print: Readers of newspapers get a more traditional mix of hard and soft news than in other media as well as coverage more focused on powerful institutions. Newspaper stories generally are more deeply and clearly sourced, though they also rely more on anonymous sources.
By the numbers, May 11 held true to that form...
...On May 12, newspapers, again, also tended to rely more on anonymous sourcing than other media, except national Web sites."
Understanding the violent nature of the Chinese Communist Party is core to these so-called discussions of "journalistic integrity," which serves as a smokescreen to the core issue. As one blogger wrote so eloquently earlier - the real question is who will investigate these claims of atrocities? Eugenia Chien?

I have practiced Falun Gong, and been involved in Epoch Times distribution. It's true that Epoch Times was started by people who also practiced or were affiliated with Falun Gong, but not to promote the practice of Falun Gong which is a personal spiritual matter and is being promoted and or shared elsewhere, but to create a communication platform seperate from CCP controlled media. So, it is correct that Epoch Times are not "run by Falun Gong". Epoch Times do report on matters related to Falun Gong, and other matters as well. Just like any community newspapers report focusing on what happens in their community, but also write about matters of the world.
People don't realize how deep the CCP's control of Chinese media run, in China and abroad. Many people who have commented here are clearly under the spell of CCP lies. A government controlling 1 billion people that don't have to answer to anyone is a powerful source, and they have been in the business of deception for a long time now. How else do you think this people and democracy hostile CCP party controlled government could have survived all these years.
It's also true that many Epoch Times reporters and article writers are not professional journalists, and lack traditional journalist skills. However, in a world where media is controlled by corporations and governments with certain interests, many find that there is a need for a platform where non-CCP biased news can be shared. You'd be surprised how far news sources are. In the case of Epoch Times their focus is China, simply becasue nobody else writes about many of these matters due to CCP's massive anti-Falun Gong propaganda, who are right now as you are reading this engaged in a persecution that are killing and torturing people on a continuous daily basis. Yet this government have been offered to host the 2008 Olympics. Does that make any sense to anyone?
I don't understand why many of you are so critical about The Epoch Times and Falun Gong unless you have an agenda yourself. Are peaceful spiritual practitioners that are being persecuted worse than the government that is killing them?
See Epoch Times for what it is. An expression of views that otherwise would not be expressed, and do not stem from personal ego, or monetary interests. In my personal opinion, Epoch Times shares important info that needs to be heard by the world. As for the validity on its articles, contact the authors and publisher and simply write them and ask. I am sure that they will be accomodating and do their best to assist you. Kindess goes a long way, you'd be surprised.

Have people looked into the veracity of Falun Gong\'s claims? I\'d like to point out two facts contradicting their recent media activity:
- The \"Auschwitz\" story they\'ve been pushing, and the rehashed 1970\'s anti-communist tall tale about vivisection and live organ harvesting have been discredited by US State Dept. investigation:
- The hospital Epoch accused is a joint venture with a company affaliated with the Malaysian government. The place is open to the public, and Malay officials have visited in previous years:
I\'ve never heard of death camp advertising for foreign investment.
As to who pays for Epoch Times, try looking at all those 501c Falun Dafa non-profits\' financial information...

it is amazing to me that so many people would buy this flat lie!!!!!!!!!!! It is all such a big lie.
I am confident to say these practioners are out there to cause attention and trouble. While all those reports can TOTALLY be false, they might even have been paid by some political parties whose intention is to devide people and bring an end to the communist party in China.
All who are involved need to ask themselves this question:
Is this the true God, the only to heaven.
Is this the TRUTH?
If the answer is NO, why, then, do you go all the extra miles to follow some false teachers, and waste your precious time and effort?

Re: Falun-Gong Linked to Media Story
Not too bad a story but to me it seemed to avoid the real story which would be: Is the government in China harvesting organs from prisoners, be they Falun Gong or otherwise???
Who wants to go after that story? Ms Eugenia Chien?

I think Yupeng Wang is confused about the true nature of Falun Gong and his comments are full of hatred. It is unfortunate because they are truly kind people. The propaganda from the CCP has obviously got to him. Because I care of have one advice for Yupeng: read the Epoch Times Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. This is the gem produced by the Epoch Times that has triggered 10 million to quit the party in China.
Everybody should read the Epoch Times - it's a bold paper that's not afraid of reporting on the actions and crimes of the CCP.
Yupeng Wang on May 17, 2006 at 05:17:55 said:
The epoch time is totally a trash newspaper. It is just the propaganda of Falun Gong. If you can do survey within chinese both in US and in mainland china, I am sure that you will find that 99% people will say Falun Gong is totally trash. I have seen so many trajeties happened to people who practice Falun Gong in Seattle. People lost their jobs, get divorced and even take suicide. They also totally ruin their families life. I cannot say what is the good thing for Falun gong except a kind of paranoid feeling.

The reporting in the articles seems to be pretty well balanced. But I believe the reporter go what Falun Gong is incorrect. The practice has nothing to do with breathing. The practice consist on 4 slow moving exercises similar to Tai Chi. Each exercise generate significent benefits within the body. The 5th exercise s a sitting medidation that include hand movements at the beginning. Then one become tranquil while sitting.
On a whole the article was very well written.
Thank you.

Both Dr. Wenyi Wang and The Epoch Times said that Dr. Wang acted alone when she protested the Chinese President's visit last month. It was not sanctioned by the paper, and I understand that she lost her press credentials as a result - as well she should have. Having said that, The Epoch Times is one of the few western media outlets writing consistently about the human rights abuses in China; particularly with regard to Falun Gong. No where else in the world will you find stories of these atrocities on such a consistent basis. In fact, they have become a media source for breaking stories about China. The story of this persecution is simply not being covered adequately by the western press because of the economic arrangements that western businesses, including western media, have with the Chinese Communist Party. People in media understand this. That is why Wolf Blitzer of CNN called Dr. Wenyi Wang a brave woman for her actions. That is why the Jay Nordlinger, Managing Editor of the National Review, wrote an article in support of the organ harvesting stories uncovered by The Epoch Times. That is why Rich Lowry of the National Review also gave his support of Dr. Wang during his appearance on Jim Lehrer's Newshour. True journalists know the real score, and are willing to stand up for their principles. I applaud those who advocate free speech and a free press - free from the restrictions of business or political arrangements, especially when these arrangements are controlled by the governing party in China, the CCP. Those who would do business with the CCP willingly forfeit their integrity and freedom as the price of doing business with them. So I say, Thank goodness for The Epoch Times. For printing the truth about China.

Hat tip to the Epoch Times who dares to report news from China as it happens. As a China watcher this is comparable to manna. Even the unconventional reporting style is a breath of fresh air.
China needs a watchdog and now they've got one!

Every society, thru-out our hstory of mankind, has been run by a talented few. The great majority, not stupid but unfortunately allowed to remain ignorant of their power, rights and obligations as members of their societies, function at an emotional level. The result, always, are decisions that lead to their subjugation, oppression, to one degree or another but always carry the seeds of destruction of that society. There are reasonable strategies to correct.

Good article except for...
Why is it that when reporting on the Washington Times, the only people quoted about its so called "independence" are always Moon's employees or followers?
The question is in and of itself a headfake. Though the "independence" is NOT true historically, Moon's real purpose for the Washington Times has been to create a more right wing extremism in the country while Moon also funded theocrats and created groups like the American Freedom Coalition to help bring down the wall between church and state. That has always been Moon's main plan. The Washington Times purpose has always been to create a political climate for theocrats. The paper has been wildly sucessful in bringing Moon's vision to America.
At least the owners of the CSM and the other papers are citizens, and even if they lose some money, none of them are money drainers like the spent 2 billion dollars Moon spent. He did it for a reason.
But the idea that the paper is somehow "independent" of Moon's plans to manipulate the world is absurd and should be the real question.
This has some of that:

DENVER (AP) -- Denver police say four people were set on fire during an attack at a home in the northwest part of the city.
Police spokesman Sonny Jackson says two men showed up at the front door at about 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Some words were exchanged, and a woman who answered the door was sprayed with a flammable liquid from a pump bug sprayer and set afire. Three other adults in the home also were sprayed with flammable liquid and set afire.
The woman suffered serious injuries and was transported to a hospital, while the other three suffered minor injuries.
Jackson says the matter is under investigation and a motive had not yet been determined.
The Denver Post reports the suspects were still at large.

Tomovic calls for Fiorentina revival
The second half of the Serie A season starts now, according to Fiorentina defender Nenad Tomovic, as La Viola look to continue their revival at Bologna on Sunday.
The 25-year-old Serb is prepared to write off everything that came before last weekend's 4-1 victory over Inter Milan - given the fact Fiorentina have already lost four games in 2013 - and help guide his club back into the Champions League places.
Just two points separate Fiorentina from third-placed Lazio, who do not play until Monday night, and with the Milan derby following Sunday's afternoon games La Viola could make a real statement of intent at the Renato Dall'Ara.
"We can finish really high up the table," Tomovic told the Corriere dello Sport. "We've had a bit of bad luck, especially in the game againt Pescara.
"We had a bit of psychological breakdown. We were doing really well until Christmas but then things became really difficult.
"Maybe we've relaxed a little bit, so our season starts now.
"My own dream is to stay here in Florence. I'm very happy here and I want to be here for a long time."
Midfielder David Pizarro serves a one-match ban while Matias Fernandez, Michele Camporese, Giuseppe Rossi and Ahmed Hegazi are nursing injuries and will not travel.
Confidence is high among the visitors but Bologna suffered a demoralising setback in their bid to avoid being sucked back into a relegation battle.
Following Sunday's 1-0 defeat at Catania, head coach Stefano Pioli said: "It was a shame that we didn't turn up for the first half, we didn't do what we were supposed to do.
"You can't let your opponents have free reign for 45 minutes in Serie A. I'm bitter and disappointed. We took the wrong approach and we paid for it."
Defenders Cesare Natali and Mikael Antonsson will not feature due to injury but Pioli has an otherwise fully-fit and suspension-free squad.
Recent history is on the hosts' side, though, with Fiorentina failing to take all three points from the Renato Dall'Ara since February 2009.

'He was hit by a tractor–trailer:' the Cavalier family reflects on accident
MORE: Read more Stafford County news
Barbara Cavalier almost hung up the phone.
The call came on a Sunday evening in the midst of the 2012 campaign season, and political ads had flooded the lines for weeks.
But she paused, and waited to hear what the caller on the other end had to say: "We have Mr. Cavalier loaded in an ambulance headed to Mary Washington."
The caller couldn't say if her husband was OK.
Barbara hurried to the hospital with her oldest son, Andrew. Part of Interstate 95 was shut down—because of Cavalier's accident—so the pair traveled on U.S. 1.
"It was quite, I don't know what the words are, life-changing," Barbara said recently, recalling the night that forever changed their family.
Jack Cavalier, a three-term Stafford County supervisor, had been struck by a tractor–trailer on the side of the interstate that Sunday evening, Sept. 23, 2012.
The outlook wasn't good.
After a call from the fire chief, several of Cavalier's fellow board members and the county administrator also rushed to the hospital—beating the Cavaliers to the ER.
Jack Cavalier survived, and though his body was beaten up pretty badly during the ordeal, he's doing well.
"One thing I'll never forget is that after we got a report from the doctors in the emergency room, Paul [Milde] and Gary [Snellings] and I were standing there, and he was asking about the next meeting," said County Administrator Anthony Romanello. They told Cavalier they'd take care of it.
"That always impressed me; he was already thinking about county business an hour after getting hit by a truck."
Jack Cavalier, 55, was first elected to represent the Griffis–Widewater District in 1999. At that time, he promised to better manage residential growth, aggressively recruit businesses, increase recreational facilities and improve the appearance of the U.S. 1 corridor.
After two terms, he lost an election bid in 2007, but regained the seat in 2012.
The board has selected him as its chairman three times over the years, including this year.
Cavalier is excited for what 2014 holds, particularly the celebrations for the county's 350th anniversary. Goals for the year include working on infrastructure needs and seeing projects completed, including the recreation center at Embrey Mill.
"That one is something I'm glad is finally coming to fruition," Cavalier said during an interview last month at his Aquia Harbour home. He also plans to schedule regular meetings for school and county leaders.
After a year's worth of leave due to his extensive injuries, Cavalier, a longtime engineer with the Defense Department, retired at the end of October. He had worked for the federal government for 30 years.
"I never have had the luck of being a full-time supervisor," said Cavalier.
Now he will. He's looking forward to the free time allowed by retirement, much of which he'll fill with county business.
Cavalier's also considering finding the right part-time job—locally, though, because he doesn't want to commute far again.
The Steelers game didn't end how Cavalier had hoped it would on that fall day in 2012.
His team lost to the Raiders in the final minutes during that clash, and he was upset.
The Cavaliers and their son had been watching at their home on Coast Guard Drive, like they typically do on Sundays. Their other two children, Meredith and Matthew, weren't home.
"He just wanted to get out of here for a while," Jack's wife said about his response to the football game loss.
Jack, who calls the 23rd "a date in infamy," decided to pick up dessert at Gary's Ice Cream on U.S. 1. But first, he wanted to check his ailing 1997 Chevrolet Suburban, which keeps "chugging along" after more than 200,000 miles of service. It had been leaking coolant, and he wanted to get it up to highway speeds to see if everything was OK.
But he didn't make it to Gary's.
A clunking sound convinced Jack to pull onto the shoulder of I–95 south, near exit 143. His reasoning was that he was close enough to an exit and could walk to get help, if necessary.
"That's kind of the last thing I remember," Cavalier said. "It's all a blur to me."
People who have near-death experiences sometimes report seeing a white light. Cavalier wonders if he saw the headlights of the truck that hit him.
The big rig's driver swerved to avoid hitting Cavalier, who state police said had stumbled or somehow ended up in the right travel lane. The driver wasn't charged; pedestrians aren't supposed to be on the interstate, said state police spokeswoman Corinne Gellar.
Over the course of 2012 in Stafford, 12 pedestrians were injured and one died, according to records kept by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. Across the state, 1,862 pedestrians were injured in vehicle accidents that year.
Cavalier's body bounced off the front cab of the semi and was pushed to the front of his vehicle and to the right shoulder.
The driver immediately stopped to call 911, and a first responder with the rescue squad recognized Cavalier.
Cavalier wasn't too cognizant, he said, but he remembers a paramedic asking if he wanted them to call his wife.
That's when Barbara got the life-changing call.
"Right at that moment you're thrown into a panic," she said.
Once in the car, she and her son couldn't remember which hospital to go to, but automatically drove to Mary Washington in Fredericksburg.
Romanello and three county supervisors were already there. "For someone to tell you he was hit by a tractor–trailer… I just thought he was gone, that was the first thing that happened," Barbara said.
Matthew Cavalier was in Manassas, and Meredith was at the University of Virginia. Her friend drove her to Fredericksburg, but, panicked, was going too fast. A state trooper let them go, but advised Meredith she wasn't helping her dad at all.
Meanwhile, Barbara said she waited 45 minutes in the emergency room without knowing anything.
"It was like a movie, the surgeon was walking toward us, pulled off his cap, and it was just so eerie looking at him," Barbara said. "I just figured he was coming to tell me Jack was gone."
Even though his physical injuries were horrible, there was no internal damage. While she was visiting with her husband, doctors started to staple the back of his head together.
The doctor said the family could view it as a really bad night, or a really good night.
"It's really good. It could have been so, so awful," said Barbara.
The supervisor remembers waking up and feeling something being poured on his head—alcohol to prep for the stitches in the crack across the back of his skull.
"I was in so much pain," Cavalier recalled. "There was a lot of trauma to my body."
The hit left him with a compound fracture of his left femur, a shattered left elbow, a right leg that was broken below the knee and five broken ribs.
"I was pretty much like a mummy," Cavalier said about his first days at Mary Washington Hospital.
At one point, he looked down and saw a bar screwed onto the outside of his leg. He was thankful that his leg was still there.
He stayed at HealthSouth for four weeks, receiving lots of attention from some of the older ladies there. He couldn't put weight on his legs, and Barbara said he was "too broken" to bring home yet.
Then, physical therapy began, a taxing three hours per day. The Fredericksburg facility was a nice place to recuperate, he said, complimenting staff there.
On Oct. 25, he came home to his two-story brick house, at the top of a steep driveway, in a wheelchair.
The family set up a hospital bed in the den and a ramp over the few steps at the front door.
Recovery continued, and then he was up on his feet with a walker, then a cane, and then could walk unassisted.
He recently joined a nearby gym, where he's using elliptical machines and bikes to get back in shape.
Barbara, an 18-year assistant principal in Prince William County, said her husband still tries to do things he shouldn't—like shovel snow off the sidewalk—and she has to put her foot down.
Most pain is lessening, except in his ribs, where it's just a gnawing, constant irritation. He's learned to tolerate it, though.
In the spring, he hopes his left arm will have enough strength to play golf again.
All told, Cavalier had just four surgeries.
After one on his arm, he woke up and didn't see his appendage. A nerve blocker meant he had no feeling, and briefly, he thought his arm was gone. But, to his relief, it was just hanging above with a drip line.
"It's been a long road to recovery in the end," said Cavalier. "This is much better than the alternative."
And the old Suburban? It was just a connection issue, and it's still chugging along.

For those who are participating in the Breaking Free study by Beth Moore, below are the answers for the session five response sheet. Items in bold are the answers for the blanks.
Breaking Free – Session Five Viewer Guide
In the journey to freedom, nothing has greater potential to weigh us down than the family baggage.
If we dare to break free while some of our family members remain in bondage, we are going to have to exercise some courage!
"The spirit which they then received, the new nature and life that God gave them, was not 'a slavery-spirit.' The two words being a practical compound." Instead, "we received 'a spirit of adoption,' the opposite of a 'spirit of slavery.'"
Courage to believe we can be different.
We often feel the family chains will never fall off of us because they're in us.
In the context of the Potter reshaping the clay, God said to His people, " 'turn…each one of you, and reform your ways and actions.' But they will reply, 'It's no use'" (Jer. 18:11).
Courage to be misunderstood.
We may be mistaken as…
Saviors (see Is. 3:5-7)
Courage to "extract the precious from the worthless." (Jer. 15:19, NASB)
Let's camp on a common generational stronghold that is poisonous: prejudice.
Prejudice is grievous sin fueled by fear and ignorance.
Prejudice propagates from the false notion that, if people are different, someone has to be better.
Courage to deal a new way with old memories.
"Memory…is vigorously present tense, selecting out of the storehouse of the past, retrieving and arranging images and insights, and then hammering them together for use in the present moment."
In Isaiah 33:6, God offers a second storehouse. Every time you draw something painful from your storehouse, draw something priceless from God's:
· Salvation, also translated deliverance – yeshu 'a'
· Wisdom
· Knowledge

The Glyndebourne Chorus
"Musically it's superb, with the most responsive chorus you're likely to hear..." - Independent on Sunday
"...sang with a fiery prowess to confirm the Glyndebourne Chorus's reputation as a cradle of tomorrow's stars." - Times Literary Supplement
Chorus Master Jeremy Bines
Glyndebourne takes pride, and justifiably so, in the performances of the Glyndebourne Chorus, whose quality and commitment makes it one of the pre-eminent choruses in international opera. It is recruited annually and comprises a large number of talented and aspiring soloists, mainly drawn from the music colleges, and a core of highly motivated professional choristers.
For many the Glyndebourne Chorus provides the much needed transition from opera course at a conservatory to the professional world, with the opportunity to understudy roles in the Festival and on Tour, and in some cases leading to engagement in a principal role on tour and later in the Festival. There is an infinite amount to be learned from working in close proximity with the high-calibre artists appearing here and from exposure to some of the finest conductors, with one of London's top symphony orchestras and Britain's premier period instrument orchestra.
The list of Glyndebourne Chorus 'alumni' who have forged careers on the operatic stage is long and distinguished. It includes Thomas Allen, Janet Baker, Barry Banks, Susan Bullock, Sarah Connolly, John Daszak, Richard Van Allan, Ryland Davies, Gerald Finley, Susan Gritton, Alastair Miles, Diana Montague, Dennis O'Neill, Anne-Marie Owens, Peter Rose, Janice Watson and Louise Winter.

The Jerwood Chorus development scheme
Since 2005 Glyndebourne has been able to increase its investment in developing young talent with the inauguration of the Jerwood Chorus Development Scheme. This programme has two aims: to provide training opportunities for members of the Glyndebourne Chorus, both as soloists and as members of an ensemble, and to increase performing opportunities for the many aspiring soloists that the Chorus nurtures. The singers work with leading conductors, directors, choreographers, theatre specialists and vocal coaches to enhance their skills and experience. The Scheme has been made possible through the generosity of the Jerwood Charitable Foundation.

The publication of a recent "boot" submitted by a resident disgruntled about a missed opportunity to share Allen Sapp Gallery with visitors from British Columbia was nixed by the publisher of the News-Optimist. It was, however, forwarded to the City of North Battleford and staff initiated an investigation to find out why the gallery was closed during hours when it was scheduled to be open on a Sunday. Because of the anonymous nature of the Boots and Bouquets feature, the newspaper was unable to help the Parks and Recreation Department contact the person lodging the complaint. The City staff would like the opportunity to apologize to the resident and also to forward a gift from the gallery to the disappointed out-of-town visitors.
The person who dropped off the Boots and Bouquets is invited to contact either the newspaper at 445-7261 or Keith Anderson at the City Parks and Recreation Department 445-1740.

Sep 27, 2011"Chicago" shouldn't have been a good movie if it wasn't for the stylish direction of Rob Marshall and his cleverness of portraying the correct scenes matching with the song and setting. It isn't great, but a good movie with some light-jazz music you'll love to listen.
Aug 27, 2011Perhaps Chicago is meant to be self-analytical in commentary on shallowness in nearly everything, but that doesn't forgive the fact that it is indeed shallow. While it's flashy and pretty funny when it needs to be, in the end, Chicago is still a miraculously vapid movie underneath it all, and that, in the end, makes it boring when it's not belting.
Dec 21, 2011Chicago is by far on one of the greatest musicals to hit the stage. The songs are sung with such strength by actors whom I never expected to have that skill. The choreography is beautifully orchestrated and the use of parallel montage between the songs and the actual story is what truly takes this film from the stage and makes it great for the screen. The only fault is that despite great performances, the songs sometimes get in the way of evoking true emotion from the actual plot.… Expand
Mar 2, 2013One of the best films in history, i loved it i was never into musicals until i saw this movie, absolutely brilliant performances and beautiful songs this is truly an Oscar worthy film
Mar 13, 2014The ambition and devotion to 'Chicago' is blindsided by a contempt for all the protagonists (the exception being John C. Reily, whose Mr. Cellophane is truly heartbreaking) and a certain modernization of an era that was not nearly so "razzle-dazzle" as the film portrays it to be. I still can't get by the self-obsession of Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones. That's really why I can't give the movie higher than an 8. A 6 is because it wasn't 20's to me.… Expand
Jul 29, 2014"Chicago" is a genre classic, but it actually praised more than deserved. Performances are generally good, the premise very intriguing, but is somewhat weak as a picture. The plot can be unintelligent at times, and there are too many numbers overshadowing the storyline. Zeta-Jones and Queen Latifah are more than adequate fits. Overall, "Chicago" has some strong qualities, but is also perhaps a little overrated.… Expand
Apr 22, 2011Chicago is a very original movie. And that's what people are looking for these days. Every award they received, including Best Picture, was well given from the Academy. Catherine-Zeta Jones was an excellent supporting actress, and she did earn her Best Supporting Actress award, but truly, I think Renee Zellweger did a better job as an actress. The cinematography was simply amazing. The transitions between reality and stage were definitely enjoyable. The way the audience saw the stage performances was excellent, and the way they saw reality was interesting as well. And at that fact, the stage performances is what made this film extravagant. No breaking into song in reality. All of the singing was as if they were feeling it, and we were witnessing their feelings. The the songs were real catchy, and definitely masterpieces to listen to. But there were a few flaws in Chicago. One was some of the speech. It was hard to understand without subtitles or going back a few times to hear it again, but not all of it was like that, only some. Then the fact that one of the characters (the innocent and "invisible" one) never got what he deserved. This was the sad point in the film. But I guess that's reality, folks. And the best part of Chicago was... That it was better than the musical. I saw the musical, and it was boring and dull compared to the film. But there is one last flaw. The 1 hour 57 minute film left out a bit from the 3 hour musical. You got to know the characters more in the musical. All in all, I give Chicago an 8 out of 10.… Expand
Nov 19, 2011Chicago is a pretty unique film creation. An adaptation of the satirical musical of the same name, it's energetic and flawlessly choreographed, with well-performed songs and a decent helping of tongue-in-cheek humour. It's not all glitz and glamour though, and it's satisfying to see a bit more going on below the surface than in other musicals - it addresses everything from gender stereotypes to the fragility of celebrity and the fickle nature of a media-consuming public. The cast are strong across the board, but Renee Zellweger and Richard Gere are the real highlights, the former perfectly expressing Roxie Hart's journey from naive and unfulfilled housewife to calculating, image-cultivating celebrity, and the latter stealing every scene he's in with good old-fashioned showmanship. Unfortunately the film does lose a little momentum, and packs a bit less punch in the final twenty minutes or so, but this is more a testament to the knock-out near-perfection of the rest of the film rather than any particular flaw in this part of the film. Perhaps it was inevitable that shining so brightly early on would result in a certain loss of sparkle in the latter parts of the film. Overall, though, Chicago is a joy to behold, and the experience will stay with you long after the credits roll.… Expand
Dec 2, 2011Bottom Line: Two murderesses and a lawyer run away with six Oscars in this flamboyant musical.
Ostentatious musical takes a sarcastic look at the story of two murderesses and their rise (or rises, one could say) to fame on the stage. This was the first musical in 33 years to win Best Picture, the previous being OLIVER! in 1969, and I can now honestly say that this didnâ
Nov 17, 2011Chicago has all the trappings of a great musical while also working as a truly great film. The main draw of Chicago has to be the way Rob Marshalls direction allows for an exhilarating viewing experience that flows brilliantly. The idea that there are two different worlds, the real and the musical, was one of pure genius because it allows for not only some thrilling musical numbers but also character development without the loss of momentum with Cell Block Tango introducing the prisoner brilliantly while also injecting some much needed theatricality. The cast works well because they accept the preposterous nature of the story and act as if on stage which sounds ludicrous but it works. Renee Zellwegger shows the evolution of a performer with both flair and naivety with Catherine Zeta-Jones playing off her with equal parts spunk and cynicism. However the real star is Richard Gere who demonstrates different relationships between the two and really manages to infuse some undeniable fun into the proceedings as the larger than life lawyer Billy Flynn.
Chicago is really a story of how a star is born through less ordinary means and thanks to some great music, acting and directing it works brilliantly… Expand
Aug 25, 2014Between Rob Marshall and Bill Condon, there was no stopping this adaptation of Bob Fosse's hit Broadway musical. Amongst the cast and amongst the staggering musical numbers, Chicago is one of the best musicals of our time.
Apr 2, 2012Chicago is the worst movie I have ever seen. Nothing was good about the movie. If I could I would give it 3 zeros. Disgraceful, Horrific, Disgusting, Stupid, and a total mess of a film. You couldn't pay me to watch this film. Worst movie of the year, worst movie of all time.
Jul 31, 2013An absolute knockout! I can't claim to know much about musicals, but this one is easily the best one I have seen. Every performance, song, and dance were so spot on. Thoroughly engaging and visionary.
Jul 29, 2014Musical numbers are great and the film is very stylish. My biggest problem with it, though, is that ALL the characters are terrible, unlikable human beings who use others and destroys their lives without any real comeuppance or learning a lesson by the end. Maybe if Roxy at the very least grew to be a less selfish individual by the end I may have cared, but in the end her sentencing outcome meant nothing to me whether she was found guilt or no. I just care what happened to anyone and I'm not sure if that was the intent.… Expand
Feb 11, 2013Easily one of the best musicals out there, if not the best. Captivating musical performances and outstanding acting from the three leads made this a very enjoyable film to watch and one of my personal favs. The toe-tapping songs are just great and it really does the Broadway production justice! It's also hard to pick a favourite song as they are all fantastic! Overall a thoroughly enjoyable film and one I would strongly recommend. It certainly deserved that Best Picture Oscar as well!… Expand
Jul 21, 2013A perfect remastering of the Broadway musical. The movie has an excellent cast, characters, sets, songs, and writing. Being the essential rebirth of the "movie musical", Chicago is a delightful motion picture worth your time and money.
Mar 15, 2014"Chicago" is actually one of the memorable movies ever made. It has great acting, characters, dark humor and one of the best screenplays. I love the way the film is presented, it has its unique style, great musical score and different musical numbers. "Chicago" is a must see film. It is a masterpiece.
Apr 27, 2014As a fan of musicals, this is another of my favourite movies. I love the songs and sing them all the time, they are all really catchy. Renee and Catherine are perfect in their roles, couldn't imagine anyone else playing them. Richard Gere, Queen Latifah and John C Reilly (who now when I watch all I hear is Wreck-it-Ralph) are also amazing at their roles. The story is unique to any other I've seen, and is different in the fact it's a slightly darker theme to a musical about murder and death. However, it manages to uphold a light hearted spirit with lots of comedic moments. Overall, I just love it!… Expand
The original musical holds up well, and Marshall and Condon's adaption doesn't wreck it.
Freshly transplanted from the stage, is a thrilling ode to the intertwined glories of sex, showmanship, and lying: what the film calls ''the old razzle-dazzle.''
I seem to be in a distinct minority in finding the satire toothless, obvious, and insufferably glib -- Still, I found genuine pleasure in watching Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger, Richard Gere, and John C. Reilly try their hands at singing and dancing.

A young Pablo Picasso sits at his easel. Quite unexpectedly, he looks up to find himself an old man in a strange, rocky demesne. He spies a minotaur sitting at a very similar easel, at work rendering a portrait of a nude model. Old Picasso watches as the minotaur puts down his charcoal and devours his model; Picasso wisely filches the stick of charcoal while the monster is occupied and runs deeper into the grim labyrinth that cages them, marking his path with the charcoal but the relentless minotaur follows, his bloodlust unsated. Juan Pablo Etcheverry's Minotauromaquia, Pablo in the Labyrinth, a stop-motion animated short film, is a wordless adventure, a parable of the artist's struggle. As Picasso delves into the maze, he encounters elements and subjects from his large body of paintings; from above, the labyrinth's tortuous paths look similar to the whorls and switchbacks of the human brain. Is the minotaur actually stalking Picasso, or is he driving Picasso ever forward? In ten brief minutes, many questions are raised about the artist and his works, while Igor Stravinsky's Firebird Suite provides an ominous and gorgeous soundtrack. Minotauromaquia screens at 7 p.m. this evening in the auditorium of the Saint Louis Art Museum in Forest Park (314-721-0072 or www.slam.org) as part of the Prizewinners from the International Festival of Films on Art program. Admission is $3 to $5, and Aliona Van Der Horst's documentary about the dedicated employees of Russia's state museum, The Hermitage Dwellers, is also on the schedule.

The staff at Los Amigos is always happy to see you--indeed, they chime a lilting "hello, amigos!" as soon as you walk in the door. It's easy to love such an earnest, friendly restaurant, but even more so when the food is so good. Those looking for burritos, quesadillas, and tacos will find them in abundance, but Los Amigos' menu is much broader than those usual combo-plate suspects. For instance, Los Amigos' fiery, mouth-puckering ceviche mixto is a powerful blend of fish, squid, scallops, and shrimp that is enough for two and never fails to please. Anything cooked in either the deeply spiced smoky mole sauce or piquant green tomatillo sauce is highly recommended. There is also a vegetarian menu with interesting items like potato burritos.

Cozumel Island History
The First Cowboys - Vaqueros
Although cattle ranching has never been a big part of Cozumel life due to the rugged terrain and lack of grazing areas, there are plenty of cowboys (vaqueros) that call the island home. And many are expert riders and skilled horsemen.
Contrary to popular belief, the first cowboys were Mexican, not American.
The cattle ranching that later emerged in the west was a blend of Mexican and Anglo-American practices but many of the techniques and terms that were used in the American cowboy culture came from the Spanish. In Mexico, the cowboy is called a vaquero, which is a form of the word cow (vaca), and one out of every three cowboys in the late 1800s was the Mexican vaquero. Vaqueros working on ranchos or missions were often individuals of mixed race and in the eyes of most Spaniards were nothing more than poor laborers on horseback. Vaqueros developed their skills of roping, branding and rounding up cattle after the Spanish conquistadors introduced them to horses and cattle.
Vaqueros provided not only the way of the work but the words of the trade. Lariat is derived from a vaqueros long rope of braided rawhide used for catching animals, called a riata. Other words from the Spanish such as canyon, chaparral (tough, thick brush), corral, chaps (protective leather leg coverings) hackamore (a headstall or a halter for a horse, usually made of braided rawhide), mustang (wild horse), and savvy (to comprehend) have found their way into the traditional cowboys language.
Originally, Mexican cowboys held contests among themselves to show off ranching skills such as bronco riding and roping. Now these rodeo showmen have refined their act so that they provide high-quality entertainment to rodeo fans. A new type of Mexican cowboy or vaquero is the brave and proud charro. A charreada is basically a rodeo, and in Mexico it is a recognized sport with strict rules to be followed during the competitions. Both men and women are allowed to compete, wearing colorful costumes trimmed in silver studs. During intermissions, the horsemen make their mounts dance to a live Mariachi band, while vendors circulate in the stands selling refreshments and snacks.
The horsemen (charros) who compete at charreadas sometimes travel many miles for the competition. They usually start their training as small children because it is often a family tradition, and learn to perform rope tricks and fancy horsemanship on finely-trained steeds, along with bull riding, bronco riding, and steer roping. The charros say their sport is living history, an art form developed from actual skills of a life working on the ranch.
Here on the island of Cozumel vaqueros can most often be found working on horseback riding ranches and tours offered to island visitors. And typically during Cozumel's Carnaval, some vaqueros will dress to ride in the parades while others prefer to wait and show their skills at events held during Festival de Cedral each year in the month of May.

We just came back from our Cozumel trip. We had a great time and really enjoyed the dolphin program. Thanks for giving our daughter such a great childhood memory!!!! By the way we came back to snow. Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine there!!
The Francis family ~ Columbus, OH
Two friends and I booked the dolphin swim AND got the manatee encounter for 15 minutes for thru Cozumel Insider. The manatee was FREE. The price, including the park, was only $88 when booked in advance. The park fee alone is $21...that's $77 PP for both a dolphin swim with about 11 others, incl. 4 children, AND the manatee. Our party of 3 were the only ones to get the manatee and she was a highlight of our trip. We got to feed her lettuce for almost 15 minutes as the guide explained her life to us. We are grateful for both experiences at such a great price. Thanks, Sherri. I can see where it's harder to find your story on your site. Can you repost it? It's very unusual and inspirational to others. Cheryl & Michael, MA

A quick note to say how much our entire family enjoyed the Island Cuisine "Parade of Salsas" cooking class! The recipes were demonstrated and explained well by the instructor and all of the helpful tips provided in the demonstrations have really come in handy now that we are back home and using your cook book. Everything we prepared was delicious and the best part was sharing the salsas afterward as we relaxed by the pool. The class was great and we can't wait to come back and try the Main Course class next time! Thanks again for a great experience for our family.

Experts target chemo in melanoma patients

Malignant melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer.
If caught early, melanoma can be cured. But once it's spread, the disease can be tough to treat.
The good news is that treatments keep getting better. Doctors at Mayo Clinic are using a new surgical technique to deliver high doses of chemo directly to areas that need it without exposing the rest of the body.
