A basic metabolic panel (BMP) is a blood test that gives information about:
A BMP is commonly ordered as part of routine medical exam or physical. It's also often ordered for emergency room patients because it can provide information on medical problems causing chemical imbalances in the body that may need immediate attention.
The BMP evaluates:
The BMP may be performed without any preparation in an emergency, or it may be done after fasting. Your child may be asked to stop eating and drinking for 8 to 12 hours before this blood test.
On the day of the test, having your child wear a T-shirt or short-sleeved shirt can make things faster and easier for the technician who will be drawing the blood.
A health professional will usually draw the blood from a vein. For an infant, the blood may be obtained by puncturing the heel with a small needle (lancet). If the blood is being drawn from a vein, the skin surface is cleaned with antiseptic, and an elastic band (tourniquet) is placed around the upper arm to apply pressure and cause the vein to swell with blood. A needle is inserted into a vein (usually in the arm inside of the elbow or on the back of the hand) and blood is withdrawn and collected in a vial or syringe.
After the procedure, the elastic band is removed. Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed and the area is covered with cotton or a bandage to stop the bleeding. The entire test will only take a few minutes.
Either method (heel or vein withdrawal) of collecting a sample of blood is only temporarily uncomfortable and can feel like a quick pinprick. Afterward, there may be some mild bruising, which should go away in a few days.
The blood sample will be processed by a machine. Parts of a BMP may be available in minutes in an emergency, but more commonly, the full test results come after a few hours or the next day.
If any of the BMP results appear to be abnormal, further testing may be necessary to determine what's causing the problem and how to treat it.
The BMP test is considered a safe procedure. However, as with many medical tests, some problems can occur with having blood drawn, such as:
Having a blood test is relatively painless. Still, many kids are afraid of needles. Explaining the test in terms your child can understand might help ease some of the fear.
Allow your child to ask the technician any questions he or she might have. Tell your child to try to relax and stay still during the procedure, as tensing muscles and moving can make it harder and more painful to draw blood. It also may help if your child looks away when the needle is being inserted into the skin.
If you have questions about the BMP test, speak with your doctor.

The Lost Boys and Girls of Children's Literature
Shortly before Pottermania took hold in America, I joined a group of journalists and had lunch with British writer J.K. Rowling. Meeting her inspired me years later to complete "Game World," my own fantasy novel for kids. Like millions of other readers, I connected to her story across cultures and continents.
Books can open up new worlds, and introduce readers to fresh voices. But a new survey conducted by the Cooperative Children's Book Center, a study and research library of the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, suggests that when it comes to kids books written right here in the states, the publishing industry doesn't always give diverse authors and themes much of a chance.

New Docu-Series Executive Produced by Randi Zuckerberg Follows Aspiring Entrepreneurs Striving for Success
NEW YORK - October 8, 2012 - Bravo Media explores the intertwining lives of a group of young entrepreneurs on the path to becoming Silicon Valley's next great success stories on "Start-Ups: Silicon Valley" premiering Monday, November 5 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Silicon Valley isn't a town, a neighborhood, or a zip code...it's a concept; the epicenter for the most revolutionary advances in technology and where the future of tomorrow is being created today. Sarah Austin, Dwight Crow, Kim Taylor, David Murray and brother and sister duo, Ben and Hermione Way, all have a unique perspective on the future of technology, business and how to get ahead in the most competitive culture in the country. These driven, ambitious and highly motivated individuals are all work and all play as they blaze their own paths to become the next Silicon Valley success story. While trying to find balance amidst their complicated social network they discover that in the fast paced world of Silicon Valley success and failure can come and go with just a simple keystroke. For more information, visit www.BravoTV.com and follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/BravoPR. Check out a sneak peek of the season here: http://www.bravotv.com/start-ups-silicon-valley/season-1/videos/geeks-are-definitely-the-new-rock-stars
Meet the Cast
Ben Way
U.K. native Ben Way is an entrepreneurial prodigy. Having made and lost millions of dollars before the age of 22, Ben is poised to make another run at changing the world along with his newly reunited sister, Hermione. With Ben's lengthy business experience and Hermione's connections, these two have all the ingredients to turn their concept into an IPO, as long as their sibling rivalry doesn't get in the way of their lofty goals.
Hermione Way
Sister to Ben, Hermione Way is a trained journalist and savvy marketing specialist transitioning from covering technology news to making it. Recently taking on the role of start-up Co-Founder with her brother, she struggles to find the balance between her Silicon Valley connections and Ben's business sense.
Sarah Austin
Silicon Valley native, Sarah Austin claims to be the Internet's first "life-caster" by broadcasting her every move for the world to see. Her bubbly personality and high energy brings millions of hits to her site every month, but where Sarah goes, drama is sure to follow. Her ongoing feud with Hermione and occasional hook ups with Ben threaten to be too much for the siblings to handle. As Sarah tries to let it be water under the bridge, old drama is replaced by new.
Dwight Crow
Wild, crazy and absolutely brilliant, Dwight Crow is a programming savant. When he's not intensely coding next to his 10th cup of coffee, he's out partying with his hacker buddies and solving complex algorithms while playing beer pong.
David Murray
David Murray is one missed mortgage payment away from losing everything. Still, he's setting his sights on creating the next big app without funding. His positive attitude makes him everyone's best friend, but when those friends force him to pick sides, David is reluctantly stuck in the middle.
Kim Taylor
Mid-West transplant Kim Taylor moved to Silicon Valley and helped lead a fledgling company to legitimate success, all while making more money than she ever imagined. But Kim's insatiable appetite to trade security and comfort to forge her own start-up dreams lead her to another fork in the road as she works to blaze her own path.
"Start-Ups: Silicon Valley" is produced by Den of Thieves with Jesse Ignjatovic and Evan Prager serving as Executive Producers along with Randi Zuckerberg as Executive Producer for Zuckerberg Media. Eric Detwiler serves as co-executive producer.
Bravo is a program service of NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment, a division of NBCUniversal, one of the world's leading media and entertainment companies in the development, production, and marketing of entertainment, news, and information to a global audience.

Ummmm...is that not one of the cutest quotes, like, ever? Let me answer that for you. Yes. It, indeed, IS one of the cutest quotes ever! AND...to make it even BETTER, the ever fabulous Samantha Walker has included it in her Ornate Artisan Stackers set for Unity in pure, beautiful rubber form! *LOVE!*
"BUT WAIT!" you exclaim! "That flower isn't in the Ornate Artisan Stackers set???!"
Wow! You are on the ball today, my friends! And you are absolutely correct! You see...shhhhh! Don't tell anyone, but *sometimes* I use more than one stamp set on a single card. *GASP!* I KNOW, right?! You know....like when the sentiments from one aren't really working with where you want to go, but the images are...THAT my friends is when it happens! I reach for another stamp set. WOW! The power of two! HA!!!!
Both the flower and the clock are from the seriously adorable Cuckoo Clocks set. Ummm...*HEART!* And yes, I did painstakingly hand cut each and every one of those little pieces. And yes, I genuinely enjoyed doing it. WHAT? SORRY!!! I can't help it if I'm a little crazy! What do you want from me, really? HOWEVER, in the event that you have no desire whatsoever to do that, I can help you out with the clock. You can thank Samantha Walker and Spellbinders for that one. As for the flower, buck up and cut the daggum thing out, people! HA!
Oh...and I mentioned associations, so here you go! It's kind of funny that we associate these gorgeous colors with fall. I mean, yes, her in New England they are everywhere, but have you ever seen Orlando in October? How about Dallas? New Orleans? Ummm...no orange, yellow, or red. Well, that's not true. The colors are entirely present, but not on leaves of deciduous trees. Heck...good luck even FINDING a deciduous tree in some places! Curious. Very Curious. BUT, that doesn't stop me from being head over heals in love with this amazing Orchard Harvest collection from Samantha Walker for Creative Imaginations! I used the 6x6 paper pad and I LOVE IT!!!!! The twine is from The Twinery and knotted for some adorable texture!
And that, my friends is my Friends With Flair post for today! I hope you have a super fantastic Friday!!!!

Horace Romano Harré (born 1927), known widely as Rom Harré, is a distinguished philosopher and psychologist.
Studies Edit
He began his university studies in chemical engineering (for which he retains a great affection) and later graduated in mathematics. He taught mathematics for several years while continuing work in philosophy and anthropology. After lecturing at the University of Punjab in Lahore, Pakistan, he took up a travelling scholarship to University College, Oxford, where he completed a B. Phil. under the supervision of J.L. Austin. After several years in the Midlands he returned to Oxford as the successor to Frederick Waismann. At Oxford he was active in the founding of the Honours School of Physics and Philosophy and played an important part in the discursive turn in social psychology. After mandatory retirement from Oxford he joined the psychology department of Georgetown University, Washington, DC where he continues as Distinguished Research Professor teaching every year in the Spring Semester. He has given occasional courses at both American University in Washington, D.C. and at George Mason University at Fairfax, Virginia. From 2009 until 2011 he served as Director Centre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Science at the London School of Economics in conjunction with his US post. he has been Visiting Professor at many places teaching courses at Aoyama University, Tokyo; Universidad Santiago de Compostella, Spain; Universidad Caetano, Peru; Free University at Brussels; Aarhus University in Denmark and elsewhere.
|Notable teachers

|Notable students
|* Roy Bhaskar
Intellectual interests Edit
Harré has written on a wide variety of subjects which includes: philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of science, ontology, psychology, social psychology, sociology and philosophy. He was an important early influence on the British philosophical movement Critical Realism, publishing Causal Powers with Madden in 1975, the same year as A Realist Theory of Science (by Roy Bhaskar). He supervised Roy Bhaskar's doctoral studies, and has continued to maintain close involvement with realism. He also supervised Patrick Baert and Jonathan Smith (psychologist)'s doctoral studies, respectively in social theory and social psychology. Another one of Harré's distinctive contributions was to the understanding of the social self in microsociology, which he called "ethogenics:" this method attempts to understand the systems of belief or means by which individuals can attach significance to their actions and form their identities, in addition to the structure of rules and cultural resources that underlie these actions.[1]

OneTruthWellness necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 211 diseños de 31 diseñadores freelance.
I am a physical therapist starting a program to improve 1) Wellness in Adults, 2) Fitness in Youth and 3) Athletic Development in Athletes
Through service, education and programming we strive to facilitate the means for every individual to recognize, access and enhance the ultimate level of wellness and physical performance found within.
Promote Wellness from Within.
We believe that our design is governed by OneTruth - that is, to live in optimal health. We are further internally blessed with everything we need to obtain and maintain complete wellness and reach our fullest physical potential; we must recognize, access and enhance it!
The market is multi-faceted, NOT gender or age-specific
Adults - Individuals that want to improve health and wellness. Though this would include the average "couch potato", I have an affinity for individuals that have mulitple medical issues that have priorly limited their participation in these programs. In addition to screening the general public, I will be marketing to referral sources like physicians. T
Youth - We have an epidemic in the (American) society - that of youth obesity. I will be promoting physical activity in youth through classes and camps. The goal of this program is to help establish the importance of MOTION in the youth of America.
Athletes - I have extensive training in rehabilitation - which is what is needed to promote complete athletic development in athletes who wish to establish improved physical performance. This program will work with individuals, small groups and teams in improving the basic components of athleticism.
In reviewing the TA above, you will see that i have a 3-faceted program.
Here's what i would like ...
One MAIN logo (OneTruth), whereby I can substitute the "division" (i.e., Wellness, Youth or Athletic Development) underneath in smaller print.
I would like to promote "motion", but do not have a great affinity for the "moving/running man".
I would like to use blue (153) and black

By: Kiki Keane and Rachel Womek
Greetings Constant Readers from the hazy nebula of our collective imagination!
First of all we would like to issue a shout out to a great blogger and a personal friend of Rachel's. The Desert Scientist, an entomologist who blogs primarily about the environment, the flora and fauna of New Mexico and Women Scientists. He regularly features the biographies of different female scientists. We commend him for bringing the scientific contributions of these often overlooked scientist to light and for educating the public about the oft ignored creepy crawlies. Rachel, at least, loves reading about reptiles, insects and arachnids! He's also a pretty darn good photographer.
Rachel has been doing a few Haiku, with the goal of one a day. So far it hasn't been going quite that way. Some days she writes none and others she will jot down several she has been collecting in the vast and largely unexplored reservoirs of her mind. O.K, O.K, maybe I am getting a little carried away. They are not anything special; just my way of exercising a tiny bit of creativity and enabling me to do a small bit of writing each day. We can't all write impressive novels like Kiki (haha!)
Rachel's Haiku:
Beneath the mountian
Poppies consume the desert.
Carpeting yellow.
Clear morning reveals
Coral colored blossoms.
Thorny cactus plant.
Marching brown army,
Ants invading the kitchen.
Stay away from my stove!
As for me (Kiki), well…I've done very little this week. Since I am unemployed I have vast amounts of time on my hands so I thought I'd take the opportunity to do something creative and productive. Hence, the novel. Sadly, when it comes to me, vast amounts of time leads to laziness. Basically this means that I have done very little this week. I have written maybe three hundred words of my novel (it should be about 1600 a day). I have not practiced Arabic and I have not read a single word of anything. Not a book, not a poem, not a newspaper.
I did, however, manage to get my lazy butt out of bed to see The Raven yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised. It is not a cinematic masterpiece, but it was worth the money. Also, it was sufficiently gruesome. Later I rented A Dangerous Method. It was pretty good, too. I enjoyed the acting, which is saying something. I would recommend both.
I also saw sat down with an old friend for the first time in nearly ten years. We had a great deal to talk about. One of the things we talked about was the dismal state of affairs we are in when it comes to what the American people know about history and about books. For example, my friend mentioned that according to a survey, most young people did not know that the movie Titanic was based on a historical event! How could they know about the Titanic? It may not be favorite historical tragedy (and yes, I understand how creepy it is to have favorite historical tragedy), but it was huge! Also, I mentioned that Longfellow and Emerson were mentioned (not nicely) by Poe in The Raven. Actually, it was suppose to be funny. I was the only one that laughed. I'm sure the friend I went with knew who those illustrious men were and why it was funny, but there wasn't peep from anyone else. This saddens me. Is this were we are headed? Where reality stars and football scores are more famous and more important then our tragedies and triumphs, our great men of letters? Really? I don't think I want to be part of that world. Maybe I should just become hermit.
Rachel would like to add that I've been trying to become a hermit for years! It is easier said than done. I have one more haiku to bore you all with it is one I just wrote while Kiki was zealously typing away. This is something I saw today between Las Cruces and Hatch.
Men baling green hay;
Sweet scented under the sun.
Last days of April.

Astronaut Neil Armstrong claimed that his famous quote "This is one small step for man…" was spontaneous, but his brother Dean Armstrong says in a new BBC documentary that the quote was dreamed up months before the lunar landing.
The brother of first moonwalker Neil Armstrong says in a new BBC documentary that the phrase accompanying humanity's first footprint on the moon — "that's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind" — was not a spur-of-the-moment improvisation but a speech that was written out and practiced in advance.
In a rare interview, Dean Armstrong recalled that his brother slipped him the words — including the long-disputed reference to "a man" — on a piece of paper as they played a game of Risk, weeks before the Apollo 11 launch in July 1969.
"He says, 'What do you think about that?' I said 'fabulous.' He said 'I thought you might like that, but I wanted you to read it,'" Dean Armstrong is quoted as saying in a Telegraph report on the documentary, titled "Neil Armstrong: First Man on the Moon." The show premiered tonight on BBC Two.
The genesis of one of history's most famous phrases has long been shrouded in mystery: In his definitive history of the Apollo moon effort, "A Man on the Moon," Andrew Chaikin noted that as the mission neared, Neil Armstrong was inundated with suggestions for his speech, including passages from the Bible and from Shakespeare.
Chaikin implied that Armstrong was undecided about what he'd say until after Apollo 11's Eagle lunar lander had set down on Tranquility Base: "Now, on the moon, Armstrong knew he could delay no longer. As he thought about the first step he would take from Eagle's footpad he pondered the inherent paradox — a small step, yet a significant one — and he knew what he would say."
See images from the career of astronaut and American hero Neil Armstrong.
Dean Armstrong's recollection suggests that his astronaut brother, who died in August at the age of 82, scripted the words early on but held them close to the vest. The BBC documentary's director, Christopher Riley, speculated that Armstrong let people think the words came to him spontaneously to head off any outside tinkering in advance, or any second-guessing in retrospect.
The interview also confirms that Neil Armstrong meant to say "one small step for a man" — even though the "a" wasn't audible in the transmission from the moon. That's an important stylistic point, because the "a" draws a contrast between the physical length of a human's footstep and Apollo 11's "giant leap" for human exploration.
After the flight, Armstrong insisted that he intended to say "a man." Some experts say that the "a" was dropped because of a glitch in the radio signal, but most assume that Armstrong just left out the word. As the years went on, Armstrong's comments on the mystery took on an air of ambiguity. "We'll never know," Neil Armstrong told an interviewer in 1971.
If he did leave out the word, it's a natural slip to make: Dean Armstrong omitted the "a" himself the first time he quoted the phrase, and had to correct himself a moment later. "It was 'that is one small step for A man,'" he said.
Update for 5:30 p.m. ET Dec. 30: A commenter points out that Dean's recollection runs counter to what his brother Neil told James Hansen about the speech for his authorized biography, "First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong," published in 2005:
"Once on the surface and realizing that the moment was at hand, fortunately I had some hours to think about it after getting there. My own view was that it was a very simplistic statement: what can you say when you step off of something? Well, something about a step. It just sort of evolved during the period that I was doing the procedures of the practice takeoff and the EVA prep and all the other activities that were on our flight schedule at the time. I didn't think it was particularly important, but other people obviously did. Even so, I have never thought that I picked a particularly enlightening statement. It was a very simple statement."
So maybe the controversy over those first words from the lunar surface will continue after all. ...
Update for 4:50 p.m. ET Jan. 4: Over the past few days, there's been a lot of back and forth over Neil and Dean Armstrong's intentions. Was Neil lying when he said that the words "just sort of evolved" after the moon landing? Was Dean lying when he said Neil had the words in mind before liftoff? In a Space.com commentary, Andrew Chaikin suggests that both men could be right. He says Neil Armstrong wasn't the kind of guy to let the matter of his moon speech go unconsidered until the last minute:
"... Nothing in Neil's post-flight statements rules out the possibility that he thought up the 'one small step' line before leaving Earth. He didn't say 'I thought up the quote after we landed'; he said, 'I decided what I would say after we landed.'
"Dean Armstrong's story just adds a little ambiguity. Maybe Neil had more than one quote in mind at that point, and only shared one of them with his brother. Or maybe the quote he showed his brother was an early draft, but after all these years, Dean remembers seeing the final version.
"We'll probably never know the answer.
"What it does not mean is that somehow Armstrong 'fibbed' or 'lied' to the public for 40 years. Everyone who knew Neil well has described him as extraordinarily principled. That was certainly the man I saw when I interviewed him, and in the years that followed, as we became friends. ..."

We are looking into summer programs for the boys at colleges that they are interested in attending. As I am browsing the various websites I can feel the panic setting in. It is the same panic that I remember from when they were like 4 or 5 and I was trying to plan a birthday party out at a Discovery Zone or one of those places. Almost, but not as bad, as planning my own wedding. I remember that feeling when I started looking, about a month and a half before their birthdays (the two older boys' birthdays are close to each other) for a birthday party place. Places were booked, filled, out of commission for months. How could this be? I came to the realization that I needed to plan their parties not a month or more ahead but a half year or a year ahead? Who, in this world, has that kind of time or more appropriately, time management skills? Certainly, dare I say, not I. With some luck and flexibility we were able to plan the party and all was well, but not without a great deal of anxiety, stress and guilt on my part. How could I be such a bad mother?
Fast forward a dozen years or thereabouts and the same guilt, stress and anxiety are taking over. Who would think that I would need to submit applications for most pre-college summer programs before winter vacation? In my naive state, I once again believed, incorrectly for the most part I might add, that months would be sufficient for a July program, not 6 months or more. Luckily not all of these programs have such early deadlines for applications, and many of the ones that do are just not within reach for one reason or another anyway, so maybe, just maybe we will be all set. Time will tell. I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe I should start perusing graduate schools for application deadlines now — before the boys even start college. –Just to be on the safe side.

Nissan Middle East has just put a new Nissan GT-R on the market. Officially called the VVIP edition, it has a custom sound system, a leather cabin, and gold trim. We'll call it the GT-R Brougham d'Elegance.
To be fair, $266,000 (Dh977,000) is how much the GT-R VVIP costs with all its Dh150,000 in options. You could saunter into a Dubai dealership and walk out with one of these 550 horsepower luxury supercar slayers only $225,000 poorer. That's how much the previous Gold-plated VVIP cost.
For that you get the finest in 1970s luxury, with a specially-tuned Bose sound system, 24-karat gold trim, and German leather trimmed according to Japanese tradition and available in 12 different color combinations. The drivetrain is stock 2012 GT-R. Carbon brakes and a titanium muffler remain on the options list.
You can get a look at the interior trimmings of last year's VVIP edition in stunning cocaine white at wheels magazine.

This is a cross post from gm2j.co
As we know, the North American branch of the Global March to Jerusalem has been availing itself of the services of the well-known anti-Semitic anti-Israel campaigner Gilad Atzmon for fundraising purposes. An album of music by Atzmon and collaborators is for sale via the GMJ-NA website and in February a benefit was held in Oakland, California, featuring Atzmon as its main attraction.
Atzmon's obnoxious views are the subject of a statement published on March 13th by the US Palestinian Community Network entitled 'Granting No Quarter: A Call for the Disavowal of the Racism and Antisemitism of Gilad Atzmon' which was signed by a number of well-known activists.
It would seem, however, that several of the signatories have not made the connection between the uncritical (to say the least) embracing of Atzmon by leading Global March to Jerusalem organisers and their own declared principles.
Signatory Hatem Bazian has endorsed the GMJ and his name appears on the same website as advertisements for Atzmon-related fundraising.
Signatory Hanna Kawas is chair of the Canada Palestine Organisation and co-host at 'Voice of Palestine'. Both these organisations appear on the GMJ-NA website as endorsers.
Jamal Juma – a colleague of signatories Omar Barghouti and Rafeef Ziadeh at the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC) – is a member of the GMJ International Central Committee. In late January, Omar Barghouti gave the keynote speech at the AGM of the UK's Palestine Solidarity Campaign – also a GMJ endorser with its director Sarah Colborne sitting on both the GMJ International Executive Committee and International Central Committee.
Signatory Haidar Eid is both an endorser of (along with co-signatories Ali Abunimah, Nadia Hijab and Omar Barghouti) and activist with the 'Gaza Freedom March' organization which ispromoting the Global March to Jerusalem on its website.
Signatory Nada Elia is a member of the organizing committee of the US Campaign for the Academic & Cultural Boycott of Israel, alongside Joe Catron of the ISM (a GMJ organizer) and Al Awda (a GMJ endorser).
Signatory Adam Haniyeh is also a member of two GMJ endorsing organisations: Al Awda and the 'Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid'.
Signatory Mostafa Henway's 'Tadamon!' promoted singer Shadia Mansour as recently as February 29th 2012. Mansour has collaborated widely with Atzmon in the past and appears with him on the fundraising album for the Global March to Jerusalem.
Signatory Abir Kobty (also Kopty) from Nazareth is a member of the board of the Coalition of Women for Peace which is an endorser of the 'Free Gaza' campaign – represented among the GMJ organisers by European Preparatory Committee member Mikalis Lukianos from 'Ship to Gaza-Greece', Huweida Arraf and Feroze Mithiborwala (FGM International Co-ordinator inIndia).
Kobty also takes part in demonstrations organized by the 'Popular Resistance Committees' in places such as Nebi Saleh, Bil'in and Qalandiya. It can therefore be assumed that she is familiar with both many of the Palestinian organisations supporting the GMJ as well as individual members of the GMJ International Central Committee such as Saeed Yaqeen of 'Stop the Wall' or Salah al Khawaja of the Nil'in Popular Resistance Committee.
Whilst many of the above named activists and their co-signatories hold views and express opinions not vastly removed from those of Atzmon (particularly on the subject of the dismantling of the State of Israel and the denial of self-determination to the Jewish people), it is nevertheless curious that they are seemingly able to simultaneously condemn the "immorality" of his anti-Semitic and racist language whilst – either personally or through the organisations with which they are connected – supporting and enabling the Global March to Jerusalem project which embraces Atzmon so warmly.

Metallography is a method of materials analysis used to characterize the microscopic structure of a metal sample. Generally, the process involves cutting a section from some object of interest, polishing its surface to high smoothness, and etching it with a chemical agent to highlight grain boundaries, inclusions, and other microstructural features. The sample is then imaged using one of a number of types of microscopy. The resulting pictures are often strikingly (if incidentally) beautiful. That's OK by me, personally—incidental beauty is usually my favorite kind.
I have written here about metallography before. Back in 2009, I had a hard time finding nice high resolution metallographic images to share with you. Happily, there seems to be more of it available online, now, and I've picked out three academic and commercial image libraries, sampled above and linked below, for those interested in digging deeper. Some of the captioning is still less detailed than I like (many of PAXCam's images, for instance, are simply labelled as "Metallurgy Image"), but beggars oughtn't to be choosers. So I'll simply leave it with this: Hey metallographers! More pretty pictures! Please and thank you!

Hello everyone.
Im putting this out there for everyone to read, take note and understand. I havent watched the first practice sessions from today, yet, as had 12hr shift. But, looking on here during breaks. All can say it, wow not again. Some people, you know who they are you know who you are, same old negative posts. Heavens sake, we only started and theres doom and gloom. Its, hate to say it, really embarrassing. This site has gone down hill over past couple years. I enjoy this site, but the days of debate topics have gone. If someone posts they believe Ferrari will do well, they get gunned down. Sorry, but that is just supporting.
I will be very tempted to suspend people for constantly negative posts. Sorry, but hey alot of people like this site, like talking Ferrari, making friends, a family, community. Not being slammed for showing support.
Lets make this the Ferrari supporting site it used to be and can be again.
My love of F1 has diminished, yes, as some will know its endurance and Gt racing is where my love is now. But, Ferrari is still in F1, so will watch and support. And look forward to doing so on here too.
Please read, and take in the below comments. For the sake of this forum, lets all come together.
*Avoid personal flaming attacks. If you don't agree with what someone posted, debate their post... not the person that posted it. Baiting of other members is also not welcome on the forums, if your baiting then it will also be considered as flaming.
*Keep in mind that this website and it's forums are visited by people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. Many of which do not appreciate vulgar language. So, the less there is the better the forums are for everyone. If you really must express yourself by swearing then fully * out the swear word. This also applies to abbreviated swearing. We have a swear filter in place so please do not try to bypass this system or your post will probably be removed entirely. This also applies to the use of images and video's.
*This is a Ferrari forum and as such we would ask that you respect the members here and if you have anything negative to say about current or past team members that is done respectfully and not designed to antagonise other members. If you are not a fan of anything Ferrari then what are you doing here? Is it just to ruffle our feathers? If so then leave, we dont want it and your stay won't be long. That's not to say non-Ferrari fans are not welcome here, but to do so you will need to respect the community here and accept that a lot of us see things through 'Ferrari' tinted glasses, and we make no apologies for doing so!

MORRISON, Ill. - Attorneys are set to deliver opening statements today in the second murder trial of a man accused of bludgeoning to death eight people during a 2008 killing spree through Illinois and Missouri that lasted several days.
Nicholas Sheley, 33, has pleaded not guilty in the death of 93-year-old Russell Reed of Sterling in northwest Illinois. Sheley is charged with several counts of first-degree murder and one count each of home invasion and residential burglary.
Jury selection ended Friday with three alternates chosen to join the 12 jurors selected earlier in the week. Jurors include a certified nursing assistant, a retiree and a farmer. The evidence phase of the Whiteside County trial is expected to last two weeks.
The trial also is the first major test of Illinois' experiment with cameras in the courtroom and will be watched by other counties to see how it goes.
Prosecutors allege Sheley killed Reed in his home on June 23, 2008, and stole his wallet and car. Reed's body was found days later in the trunk of his car.
Sheley has pleaded not guilty in all of the killings. He faces trials in six other deaths.
Last year, jurors convicted Sheley of killing Ronald Randall, 65, of Galesburg, Ill.
Sheley was arrested outside a bar in Granite City, Ill., in July 2008 and charged in the eight deaths. Investigators have said they believe the first person to die was Reed.
The others killed include Kenneth Ulve, Brock Branson, Kilynna Blake and Blake's 2-year-old son, Dayan, who were all found in a Rock Falls apartment; and Jill and Tom Estes of Sherwood, Ark., who were found dead in Festus, Mo., where they were traveling for a graduation.

Over the past few weeks, The Wife has been feverishly trying to find a tennis shoe that will fit Tax Deduction No. 1�s canoe of a foot. Honest to goodness, the girl could surf without a board.
Occasionally, a shoe would fit, but it would look like it was cut from the jacket Rodney Dangerfield wore in �Caddy Shack.� Flavor Flav would think these shoes were too busy.
I�m a little ashamed to admit it, but this shoe situation was affecting my life. That little tiff between the Israelis and the Palestinians is a parking ticket compared to the pulling of hair and gnashing of teeth generated by this shoe thing.
Thinking if it�s not in the local stores it has to be somewhere on the Internet, I sat TD No. 1 beside me and started surfing the web for girl�s tennis shoes.
I asked The Wife what size foot TD No. 1 was dragging around, expecting a concise answer such as �4� or � to be more accurate � �9�. What I got was an education on the perils of sizing in the women�s clothing industry.
Apparently, a Nike size 4 is different from a Converse size 4. After about 30-seconds of a description that was already being dumbed down for me, I started to see little blue dots. I began thinking about how much I loved my long deceased bulldog named Katie, and how she always knew how to show up in the field a few minutes for Nab and Pepsi time.
When I came to, The Wife was saying some nonsense about me not paying attention. I told her she looked cute � which she did � but I�m pretty sure the sentiment wasn�t taken in the spirit it was intended.
TD No. 1 and I checked every shoe website between here and Vietnam, and we got close a few times. One shoe was exactly right, except that it was white on the bottom instead of blue. When I asked what the big deal was, TD No. 1 said the white part of the shoe would show dirt too easily.
At this point, I didn�t care if the shoes had the Manson family crest on them, but I was happy to see that some of the practicality we�ve been trying to instill in our little Bigfoot had taken hold.
At this point, I called an emergency family meeting. I assembled The Wife and TD No. 1 in the kitchen; TD No. 2 was climbing a light pole at the time and, frankly, we were enjoying the peace and quiet.
I informed The Wife and TD No. 1 that if this wasn�t settled soon, Social Services would show up at the house wondering why our daughter was wearing empty tissue boxes for shoes.
Although we always try to buy local, we had to look outside the county for a solution. A phone call was made to a shoe store in Goldsboro, and some angel named LaToya told us she had the shoe we were looking for.
In an unprecedented display of courtesy, LaToya agreed to hold the shoes for us until the next day. I grabbed the phone from my wife and started telling this woman I�d never met how much I loved her and what a great day this was for my family.
She seemed a little creeped out, but it had to be said.
The next morning, I went around the house beating a frying pan with a wooden spoon. I wanted these people to be at that store the second LaToya put the key in the door. I didn�t mean 10 minutes after opening; I wanted my crew there to hold her hand as she walked from her car to the door � just to make sure she didn�t trip and injure herself before the store could be opened.
I taught TD No. 2 to walk in front of LaToya and throw rose petals on the ground to make her journey across the parking lot a pleasant one.
I gave everyone a minute to eat their toast, a minute to brush their teeth, and a minute to get dressed. I gave TD No. 1 an extra 30 seconds to deal with those diving boards at the end of her legs. The poor girl�s toes are in a different time zone than her ankles.
With everyone fed and brushed, The Wife headed over to Goldsboro with our tax deductions in tow.
I began pacing the hall incessantly. After what seemed like an eternity, I called The Wife to see what was taking so long.
�We just made it to the end of the driveway,� she said. �I�m turning off my phone now.�
For the next hour, I knew what the staff at NASA felt when they lost contact with Apollo 12 in the winter of 1969. Their crew was somewhere out in space, embarking on an impossible mission � and so was mine.
Finally, my phone rang but I tripped over a dollhouse on my way to answer it. After the swelling and the cursing subsided, I called The Wife back and she gave me the good news: The long national shoe nightmare was over. TD No. 1 and her Barnum and Bailey-esque feet had finally been matched with the right conglomeration of canvas, string, rubber and sweatshop labor.
With the shoes out of the way, the school year and its concurrent nightly hour-long process of putting together the following day�s ensemble can commence.
Don�t worry about me. If it gets to be too much, I�ll just slam a door on my head for 10 or 15 minutes � it works every time.

The BlackBerry is trapped in an infinite toilet swirl. Customers have left it in droves. Even RIM knows the BlackBerry is in deep trouble. This morning, the Waterloo-based company showed off its new BlackBerry 10 operating system along with a few bold new features, but is it simply catchup to iOS, Android and Windows Phone?
Despite showing no new launch hardware (only a generic 4.2-inch developer device), RIM's CEO Thorstein Heins focused on a few ideas that could put the once king-of-the-smartphone back in the running:
1) All touchscreen: Yep, moving forward, the physical keyboard is dead. BB10 is all about having a fast, smooth and smarter virtual keyboard. As you can see in the demo reel below, the predictive typing now smartly suggests your next word, actively trying to predict what you really want to type.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
2) A smarter camera: The iPhone 4S and HTC One X and S's cameras are so good for phones that we're constantly blown away by the image quality. BB10 will have a great camera — one that allows users take photos by tapping anywhere on the screen as well let users choose the best shot with a time line scrubber that shows captured moments before and after each taken shot.
3) Gestures everywhere: One of the PlayBook's strongest features is its intuitive gestures activated by touching its bezel. BB10 will borrow some of the gestures to make switching between apps an easy affair. Multitasking looks like a breeze on BB10.
4) Better developer tools: As with the PlayBook 2.0 OS, BB10 will also support Android apps and will be the most developer-friendly BlackBerry OS to date backed by apps created with HTML5, Air Flash and CSS. Hurray for devs!
5) Gaming: RIM also talked up BB10's gaming strength. N.O.V.A. 3, a first-person shooter that rivals "console-quality" games will also debut with BB10 along with 10 other major games. RIM boasts that games can be ported from BB10 to the PlayBook in as little as one day — a feature that'll greatly help grow the amount of apps for both platforms because we all know that the BlackBerry World app store is seriously lacking in good apps.
6) Not just for phones: RIM isn't kidding around with BB10. Not only will the OS appear in its new BlackBerry smartphones (rumored for later this year), but it can also be integrated into connected cars over 4G LTE. Did RIM just beat Apple to an iCar.
The new RIM seems to have identified its flaws and is working to change that in BB10. While Thorstein seems to genuinely think BB10 will save RIM and the BlackBerry brand, we can't help but feel the company is now extremely late to the modern mobile party. Just ask Windows Phone how it's doing. It's not doing great. It'll take a miracle to turn around BlackBerry. It also doesn't help that RIM is the one behind the "Wake Up" flashmob that popped up at an Apple Store in Sydney.

The 177th's Death Penalty Hearing
19 comments:

Judge Fine: The Ringmaster & the death penalty
Dudley Sharp, contact info below
Based upon the possibility of executing an innocent, Texas Judge Fine cannot, legitimately, find the Texas death penalty unconstitutional.
Should Judge Fine, wrongly, find the death penalty unconstitutional, he will be reversed upon appeal, just as Federal District Court Judge Jed Rakoff was reversed in the Quinones case (2002), when Judge Rakoff made the same ruling based upon the same finding.
It is settled law.
I suspect Judg Fine will ringmaster over a circus of anti death penalty presentations/testimonies, the prosecutor will present little to no rebuttal but will simply object over and over, again, understanding that the circus will play out.
Should Judge Fine rule the death penalty unconstitutional, he will have his moment in the anti death penalty sun - the media, as other anti death penalty folks, will praise Judge Fine's brilliance and, then, he will be reversed on appeal.
My hope is that the prosecution would make a point by point rebuttal to all the anti death penalty claims. However, I doubt they will. I suspect the prosecution knows that would be a waste of their time and money.
I suspect one of the following will occur:
If Judge Fine pays attention to the law, he will rule that death penalty constitutional and the current case , Green, will proceed. If Fine rules the death penalty unconstitutional, he will be reversed, then the Green case will proceed.
It should be noted that innocents are more protected with the death penalty. See below.
(NOTE: The DNA hair evidence in the Claude Jones case does not, remotely, even hint that Jones may be an innocent executed. The eyewitness testimony identifies Jones as the murderer, who did not, remotely, look like Jones' co defendant.)
REVIEW for fact checking
1) "The Death Penalty: More Protection for Innocents"
The false innocence claims by anti death penalty activists are legendary. Some examples:
2) "The Innocent Executed: Deception & Death Penalty Opponents"
3) EXONERATION has been given a new, highly distorted definition by anti death penalty activists. That new definition has nothing to do with actual innocence or the process of being cleared of wrongdoing, which is the real meaning of the word. The deception has been well and broadly exposed since 1999.
Just ask the anti death penalty folks: "How many are actually innocent and can you prove that any of those are actually innocent?".

I disagree with Pat's decision. From a legal, tactical standpoint, the decision potentially waives certain objections. But from a political standpoint, our office is letting the anti-death penalty people have free reign to make unrebutted statements, many of which are flat out false. And these statements will be reported nation wide, as has already happened in national publications such as the New York Times. When the public has misinformation presented to it as facts, we as the DA's office fails in its obligations to champion the truth.
This is not a "debate," but is instead a court hearing. We don't get to decide that we don't want to play ball. We have a Texas constitutional obligation to advocate the State's position, and we are ignoring that obligation because Pat feels that she is right on her initial objections. But what happens if there is another Dem sweep, and our appellate court make-up changes? We have then waived our objections. Even though the judge and the anti-death penalty people are politicising the death penalty, the DA's office has an obligation to advocate. And we're ignoring that responsibility.

I'm loath to agree with Lykos on anything, but standing mute is the way to go to assure any ruling by Fine that the DP is unconstitutional CANNOT be affirmed on appeal. This is a farce of an hearing and the only reason it's being held is for publicity, so if the media would just ignore morons like Fine, they'd be relatively harmless.
- December 7, 2010 at 12:02 PM
- BLACK INK said...
Murray, I respectfully disagree.
The DA should take a stand: either fully participate in the hearing or don't show up.
The fact that any prosecutor is present gives the proceeding credibility.
Lykos' silent treatment gives the impression that the DAs office now has serious reservations about seeking the death penalty.
If any one should appreciate that perception is more important than reality it is Lykos.
Perhaps after Christmas there will be no ADAs left willing and able to try a death capital and this is an easy out for Lykos.
- December 7, 2010 at 1:45 PM
- Murray Newman said...
I agree with you, Black Ink, but my understanding was that they were not going to show up for the hearing, but Judge Fine ordered them to be there. I think that they are trying to remain respectful of the Court, generally, but are basically being held against their will.
I feel sorry for Alan Curry.
I just think that under the circumstances that they are doing the right thing. I'm surprised that they have Alan there, though. If they really wanted to send a message, they should have sent a brand new Misdemeanor # 3.
- December 7, 2010 at 2:17 PM
- BLACK INK said...
If Pat Lykos was a true leader who felt strongly on the issue; she would not have made a fool out of one of her senior ADAs in this manner.
Lykos could have easily called Judge Fine out on this circus by electing to take the lead personally and challenge him to hold a sitting DA in contempt for a purely political pursuit.
But that would have taken courage of conviction.....not a Lykos strong point.

(NOTE: The DNA hair evidence in the Claude Jones case does not, remotely, even hint that Jones may be an innocent executed. The eyewitness testimony identifies Jones as the murderer, who did not, remotely, look like Jones' co defendant.)
And we are all aware of the infallibility of eyewitness testimony. Where are Keith Pickett's dogs when you need them? I think Texas has some real issues with it's criminal justice system, and the death penalty is by far the most glaring example.
In the 29 years I've practiced criminal defense, I've seen hundreds of clients convicted (or plead out), despite my best efforts, for crimes that they probably didn't commit. That means that both an innocent person may be in jail and the actual perpetrator may be breaking into YOUR car or YOUR home. That is horrible public policy and an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars. While the courtroom of a District Court judge might not be the appropriate forum for a discussion of the death penalty, the discussion needs to take place.
I have been victimized by violent crime. I would be horrified if the police arrested an innocent person for robbing me at gunpoint, and then that innocent person was prosecuted and incarcerated. Just because the cops think he did it, and because he matches the general description is not good enough.
In Dudley Sharp's world, I would have been summarily executed last week after getting my speeding ticket.
- December 7, 2010 at 4:23 PM
Black Ink -
Well stated. This is nothing more than a politcal circus in the criminal courthouse. Judge Fine is using the proverbial "bully pulpit" to tray and prove a point and that is NOT what the electorate voted him to the bench to do. The law is well settled on the Texas Death Penalty. Judge Fine is wasting his time and will be reversed on appeal. He know this and he is simply trying to get a reason to rule the way he wants to.
I agree with Murray that the DA is doing the right thing by trying not to legitimize the antics of a judge who is off his rocker. Judge Fine needs to go get drunk, do a few lines and head to the tattoo parlour where he is among his type.
By ordering the State to participate, he is creating an open door for the appeals court to make him look like a sterile burro!

- dudleysharp said...
I would have much preferred the prosecution rebut all of the claims of the clownfest, because it will otherwise only result in a worlwide media event promoting anti death penalty nonsense.
But, that is what we will get - Bring in the clowns!
- December 7, 2010 at 6:29 PM
- dudleysharp said...
The eyewitness testimony was 100% accurate.
It was a description of the body type and the clothes, both of which matched Jones, exactly, not his co defendants.
Jones had eleven prior convictions in Texas for crimes including murder, armed robbery, assault, and burglary.
He served 6 years of a 9-year prison sentence from 1959 to 1963 and three years of a 5-year sentence from 1963 to 1965.
In 1976, he was convicted of murder, robbery, and assault in Kansas and received a life sentence.
While in Kansas prison, Jones killed another inmate. He was paroled in 1984.

Now, Curry can do something productive.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals granted a stay Tuesday in a Houston hearing on the constitutionality of the death penalty in Texas.
The Court of Criminal Appeals said all parties will have 15 days to respond to the stay by drafting legal briefs with their stated opinions.
- December 7, 2010 at 6:56 PM
Those who say that standing moot is the best way to ensure the State wins on appeal, please state the legal basis for your opinion. I'm just a simple minded government lawyer, but it sounds like objections outside of the 19 initially lodged would be waived.
- December 7, 2010 at 7:30 PM
- dudleysharp said...
that is precisely the risk that I was concerned about but am not sure if my concern was valid.
Any comments from anyone?
- December 7, 2010 at 9:33 PM
The reason Lykos didn't show up in the courtroom for the hearing is that she isn't sure WHERE the courtroom is. She's never tried a criminal lawsuit as a prosecutor.
Is it not incredible that she was elected as the District Attorney and after two years, has still never prosecuted a single case?
Why? Because she doesn't know how. Scary...
- December 7, 2010 at 10:56 PM
Bottom Line: Serious Issue, wrong timing - jumping the gun - (no pun intended) and more than anything else - sad to say but, Judge Kevin "is NOT" Fine.
He has his own demons to battle and he has let others talk him into thinking he is actually doing the "right thing". Almost reminds me of Judge Sandlin (sp)in the Anna Nicole case. 15 minutes of fame will be over and he will (nothing personal - seriously) NOT be re-elected in 2 years. Kevin is a very nice person with a good heart and I don't see him grandstanding here as much as just being plain wrong and doing a Don Quixote.

It would be nice if Fine would combine a little mind with his heart. Are you saying he doesn't know precisely what he is doing?
I think he is doing just what Charlie Baird was doing. He wants to go out with a great anti death penalty splash and worldwide media adoration. Baird's retiring and Fine knows he won't be reelected.
A release I sent out last March.
Judge Fine gets caught with his pants down
Dudley Sharp
Judge Fine is not truly backing off or rescinding his finding that the Texas death penalty statute is unconstitutional. It is a tactical withdrawal to cover his ass.
I suspect it won't matter what happens in the April 27th hearing. Judge Fine will repeat his original finding.
Judge Fine realized that he looked like a fool and/or an idiot because he was wrong on the facts and the law in his first two episodes. (1)
The judge, now, says ". . . he still wants more information on whether the state's death penalty statute is unconstitutional because it allows for the possible execution of an innocent person."
Thus, the hearing.
To repeat, Judge Fine there is no law or opinion that finds that due process must be infallible. Since the first incarcerations and the first executions, man has always known that there was always the "possibility" of actual innocents being imprisoned and/or executed and that, in both cases, due process may not reveal that actual innocence prior to their deaths, or ever.
In other words, the judge has already made up his mind that due process must be infallible and no matter what occurs in the hearing, he has already decided to support his original ruling, not matter how fallible his understanding of the facts and the law.
That is also why Judge Fine is also in error in saying that he is not challenging the constitutionality of the death penalty, but instead that the statute is unconstitutional. No judge, what you are doing, as if you don't know it, is challenging the constitutionality of due process that is not perfect.
The April hearing will welcome in a bunch of anti death penalty legal specialists, that will try to cover his rear.
(Current NOTE: The April hearing is the one occurring, now)
It matters not a wit what the state/prosecution side will say to contradict the anti death penalty cabal, inclusive of the judge.
Judge Fine will repeat his original finding and then he will be overturned. He just wants the show, first.
The kings new clothes.

I don't know, if they stand on their objections that it's not proper according to the CCP, and do not participate, then they waive ALL substantive objections--because they didn't make any. And to preserve error, you have to object in the first place, which they won't do, and get an adverse ruling, which they won't do. So if the procedure is upheld, they're stuck with Fine's ruling.
And I can see the procedure being acceptable from an equitable standpoint--remember, courts are not solely creatures of statute. That's the primary difference between procedural and substantive due process, even.
At the very least, they could have done what the Navarro County DA did in the Willingham case and try to have the trial court enjoined from engaging in an improper procedure.
I don't like the way we implement the death penalty, or the way Texas courts in general seem stacked against the Defendants. But I am pro-death penalty, so I'd like to have the best procedures possible to make sure we get the right guy.
It's unfortunate that the debate takes place with this particular shit bag, but we defend everyone, lest they come after us next. Our civil liberties are endangered by the DA's in our various counties far more than they ever will be by some Muslim extremist across the world.
- December 8, 2010 at 7:09 AM
"Our civil liberties are endangered by the DA's in our various counties far more than they ever will be by some Muslim extremist across the world."
I have yet to see anyone from a DA's Office crash an airplane into a building or get on a plane with PETN in their shoes.
You're the one that's full of shit.
- December 8, 2010 at 1:28 PM
I have yet to see anyone from a DA's Office crash an airplane into a building or get on a plane with PETN in their shoes.
A red herring and a scare tactic, all in one. Your life must be so simple.
Ever been shot at or bombed by a Muslim? I haven't (not in the US, anyway). Ever been accused of a crime you didn't commit? I have.
Historically, our executive branch of government (that includes DA's and cops, which I left off earlier) has killed more people and does more harm to us on a daily basis than Muslim extremists ever have.
We are our own worst enemy on over reacting to terrorism, and on failing to make sure the best possible practices, procedures, and science are used in our courtrooms, where we aim to lock up our own citizens.

WWII Submarine Patrol Reports
Records: 57,974 · Complete: 100%
While the bulk of the collection consists of war patrol reports written during wartime, some prewar patrol reports are included. All of the reports are typed; most are mimeograph copies. Photostat or carbon copies are also found.
The submarine war patrol reports for 1941 through late 1943 consist of daily narrative summaries of the vessel's location and activities. The reports are usually followed by additional summary information relating to such topics as meteorology, physical and mechanical condition of the submarine, and attacks against the enemy. These early reports may relate to a number of other topics as well.
Reports submitted from late 1943 through 1945 are normally much more detailed than the earlier reports, and almost uniformly adhere to a standardized format. The elements of the later reports are below.
Some World War II submarine war patrol reports are appended with special mission or other reports delineating operations separate from the main task of sinking enemy ships. A final feature of most of the war patrol reports is the endorsements added by the various reviewing levels in the chain of command. The endorsements mainly consist of comments, assessments, and commendations.
Occasionally, the war patrol reports include periscope photographs and track charts. Photographs and very oversized charts appended to the reports may not be included in the digitized images here; notes indicating such omissions are included.. Sometimes, the reports list enclosures, usually track charts, which are no longer part of the records. The location of these missing enclosures is unknown. All other extant enclosures, as well as the full patrol reports, are included in this publication.
An informative descriptive pamphlet provided by NARA may be downloaded here. Much of the information on this page is taken directly from that pamphlet.
Immediately preceding and during World War II, Navy regulations required submarine commanding officers to submit patrol reports to the Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Fleet. These reports were also reviewed at lower levels within the Department of the Navy chain of command for the Atlantic or Pacific Fleet, depending on the location of the submarine. The reviewers included the Commander-in-Chief, Pacific or Atlantic Fleet; the Commander, Submarine Force, Pacific or Atlantic Fleet; and the commanders of the specific submarine squadron and division to which the individual vessel belonged. Since more U.S. submarines were deployed in the Pacific Ocean than in the Atlantic, the majority of the reports submitted were from submarines active in the Pacific Theater.
Although the prescribed format for the reports evolved during the war years, the chief function of the operational war patrol reports was always to keep the Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Fleet and others apprised of the records of submarines in carrying out their primary mission of sinking enemy ships. The reports also provided information on other activities engaged in by submarines, such as reconnaissance, minelaying, and rescue efforts. The collective reports of the individual submarines enabled wartime decision makers to assess the overall results of missions and to make recommendations based on those assessments.
In the years following World War II, the surviving submarine war patrol reports were collected and filed by the Operational Archives Division of the Naval Historical Center, under the direction of the Chief of Naval Operations. This collection of reports was transferred to the National Archives in 1991. The collection provides a comprehensive survey of the activities of U.S. submarines during World War II and is also quite useful in researching the history of individual vessels.
Using the records
The U.S. submarine war patrol reports are arranged alphabetically by submarine name or alphanumeric designation, and thereunder chronologically by the approximate date span covered by the report. For the most part, reports for each patrol are numbered sequentially. Some patrol reports for the following vessels are missing, as indicated by gaps in patrol numbers: Bass, Haddo, Herring, Narwhal, R-l, R-6, R-7, R-9, R-12, R-18, S-ll, S-12, S-14, S-16, S-18, S-31, S-32, S-40, S-46, S-47, Shad, and Thresher. These missing patrol reports presumably no longer exist. The fact that patrol reports end abruptly does not necessarily mean that the submarine was sunk; it may have been decommissioned. Researchers can refer to the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships for disposition of the submarine.
Related records
Closely related to the submarine war patrol reports are submarine deck logs, among Records of the Bureau of Naval Personnel, RG 24. Deck logs are daily recordings of pertinent information, including the vessel's performance, activities, location, and personnel, as well as weather conditions and other observations.
Other related records are among Records of Naval Operating Forces, RG 313. Significant documentation can be found in the general correspondence, 1941-42, of Commander Submarine Force, Pacific Fleet and Atlantic Fleet, particularly under file designation A16-3 (warfare operations). The correspondence includes pre-World War II reports and other information concerning the activities and conditions of some submarine squadrons, scouting forces, and individual vessels.
The Operational Archives Division of the Naval Historical Center holds World War II patrol reports for selected Allied submarines, mostly those of the United Kingdom.
Report format, 1943-1945
Each submarine report from 1943 to 1945 follows the following format which is similar to that used in the World War II War Diaries:
A. Prologue B. Narrative (date and time) C. Weather D. Tidal Information E. Navigational Aids F. Ship Contacts G. Aircraft H. Attacks I. Mines J. Anti-submarine Measures and Evasive Tactics K. Major Defects L. Radio M. Radar N. Sound Gear and Sound Conditions O. Density Layers P. Health, Food, and Habitability Q. Personnel R. Miles Steamed - Fuel Used S. Duration T. Factors of Endurance Remaining U. Communication, Radar, and Sonar Counter-measures V. Remarks
