Dartmouth Professor Andrew Samwick, fresh off his year with the President's Council of Economic Advisers, has drawn our attention to the Wall Street Journal's powerful page-one story by Bryan Gurley of this past Tuesday, "For Lt. Withers, Act of Mercy has unexpected sequel." Professor Samwick thought of the story in connection with Rocket Man's post on "A funeral in Eagle Butte."
Professor Samwick writes that the post "reminded me of a moving article in yesterday's WSJ about an African American army officer and two Holocaust survivors that he protected. It made me think deeply about race in the military and in America, and it reminded me of the meaning of Thanksgiving."
Unfortunately, the story is available online only to subscribers. Rather than attempt to summarize it, we'll post it verbatim as part of our Thanksgiving festivities:
"The two young men stood trembling before Army Lt. John Withers, dressed in the rags they'd worn at the recently liberated Dachau concentration camp. Sores pocked their bony arms and legs. Decades later, the lieutenant would remember how their sunken eyes sought mercy.
"But in 1945, near the end of World War II, they posed a problem. Lt. Withers was a black leader in an all-black supply convoy. In violation of Army orders, his men were hiding the refugees. Lt. Withers planned to have the strangers removed — until he saw them.
"They stayed with his unit for more than a year, two Jewish survivors of the Holocaust hiding among blacks from segregated America. The soldiers nicknamed them 'Peewee' and 'Salomon.' They grew close to Lt. Withers. By the time he bid them farewell, they'd grown healthy again.
"Mr. Withers never forgot them. Over the years, he told and retold their tale to his two sons. When one son set out to find them, he discovered that Salomon had died in 1993. But Peewee, he learned, was alive.
"Unlike Mr. Withers, Peewee had buried his past. His children and grandchildren knew almost nothing about his time in Auschwitz, Buchenwald and Dachau. When his grandson asked about the number tattooed on his left forearm — A19104 — all he could say was, 'Bad people put that down.' He couldn't bring himself to talk about it. Then John Withers reappeared — and changed Peewee's life yet again.
"A bright morning sun shone on the cobblestone square in Starachowice, Poland, as the Nazi soldiers separated the strong Jews from the weak. It was Oct. 27, 1942, a scene reported by historians and survivors. The healthy would go to work building bombs for the Germans. The rest would be piled on a train to the extermination camp at Treblinka.
"Izaak Wajgenszperg gave his 14-year-old son a brick to stand on. He said it would make the boy look bigger, so the Nazis might not send him away. Mieczyslaw Wajgenszperg obeyed. Across the square, he recalled, his mother and younger sister disappeared into the crowd. He would never see them again.
"Mieczyslaw (MEE-shuh-slav) had grown up in a red-brick house in Starachowice, an industrial town. His grandfather was a banker, and his father exported timber. After the Nazis invaded in 1939, they moved Mieczyslaw's family and other Jews into an unwalled ghetto, where Jews were expected to step off the sidewalk when Germans passed. They lived there until that October morning when the Nazis tore Mieczyslaw's family in two and put him and his father to work in a munitions factory in Starachowice.
"In July 1944, with the Russian army approaching, the Germans put the Jews on a southbound train. Mieczyslaw and his father were deposited at Auschwitz and given blue-and-gray-striped uniforms. From there, the Nazis sent the boy to another camp nearby. His father stayed behind, and Mieczyslaw said goodbye to him for the last time.
"Late that September, Army Second Lt. John Withers, then 28, boarded a train bound for a boat that would take him to Europe. Black soldiers rode separately from whites. Stopped in New Orleans, Lt. Withers recalled seeing another train carrying German and Italian prisoners of war. Black porters were serving them.
"He came from Greensboro, N.C., where segregation ruled, and blacks were expected to step aside when whites passed. Lt. Withers knew he was going to war for freedoms he didn't enjoy. Still, he recalled in an interview this year, 'I thought I would be better off if the world subdued Hitler.' He had his own dream: leave the South, become a professor and join the American middle class.
"He grew up the precocious son of a janitor and a seamstress in a six-room house with three siblings, five cousins and a family friend. His mother bought the children dress shoes instead of work shoes because work shoes announced that you were poor, her son recalled. If neighbors had a Thanksgiving turkey, the Witherses told everyone they did, too, even if their holiday dinner was ham hocks and beans.
"As a teenager, John developed a passion for opera, and carried in his pocket index cards he filled with poems, Gospel verse and snatches of literature. He earned a bachelor's degree in social sciences from North Carolina A&T, then a master's degree in economics from the University of Wisconsin in 1941. He hoped to seek a Ph.D., but funds were scant. And the Army called.
"Three years later, he was helping to lead one of the quartermaster truck companies ferrying supplies to the front lines in Europe, military records show. Lt. Withers stood apart from the other soldiers. He didn't smoke, drink or curse. He helped illiterate soldiers write home. He spent a leave in London at libraries and the theater.
"He never experienced full-fledged combat. He fretted about returning to Greensboro, where he worried he'd have no job, no money to pursue a Ph.D., no way to escape the South. A glimmer of hope appeared: the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, better known as the GI Bill, which was designed to help veterans pay for college. As 1945 dawned, Lt. Withers was determined to take advantage of it. But he had to keep his record clean.
"From his labor camp near Auschwitz, where he had been for six months, 16-year-old Mieczyslaw heard the Russian cannons. In late January of 1945, the Nazis marched him and thousands of others northwest. Mieczyslaw wrapped his shoes in paper bags so he wouldn't slip on the snow. Many who faltered were shot, he later recalled.
"He wound up in the 'Little Camp' at Buchenwald. In April, he was loaded onto a snow-filled train that zigzagged through Germany and Czechoslovakia for three weeks. He sat on a man who had frozen to death. When he arrived at Dachau, his ribs poked at his skin. He'd been there two days when U.S. troops liberated the camp on April 29, 1945.
"U.S. soldiers moved Mieczyslaw and other inmates to an abandoned SS barracks near Munich, he recalled. One day Mieczyslaw discovered that a bag holding his only belongings — a few items of clothing — had been stolen. The theft so infuriated him that he left.
"Dressed in his ragged prisoner's uniform, Mieczyslaw walked to another barracks where he'd noticed black U.S. soldiers. He had heard that American blacks were poor and, like him, had faced discrimination. He found members of Quartermaster Truck Company 3512 washing dishes. Using hand gestures and some German, he made them understand he wanted a job.
"The men let Mieczyslaw help. That first night he slept outside on a table, he later recalled. The next morning, the soldiers gave him a room with a bed, a bureau, a desk and a window that looked out on a forest. They fed him goulash and bread, and gave him a nickname, 'Peewee,' because his name was a mouthful and he was about 5 feet tall.
"Then one morning, the soldiers told Mieczyslaw — now Peewee — that a lieutenant had learned of his presence, as well as that of another Dachau refugee, 20 years old, whom they'd dubbed 'Salomon.' John Withers, who'd recently been promoted to first lieutenant, wanted to see them.
"Quartermaster units had orders to avoid contact with the Dachau prisoners, Lt. Withers later recalled. His superiors worried that supply convoys would pick up diseases and spread them to other Army units. Researchers at the National Archives couldn't locate specific records of such orders but said other records indicate that Army brass were acutely concerned about health risks posed by Dachau prisoners.
"Lt. Withers had learned that it was especially important for blacks to follow orders in the segregated Army. He recalled worrying that sheltering Dachau refugees might get him a dishonorable discharge — and then there would be no GI Bill for him.
"He assumed the two refugees were war-toughened men who were exploiting his soldiers' sympathy. So he was unprepared when the soldiers brought Peewee and Salomon. The refugees seemed shrunken and frightened, really just boys, he recalled thinking.
"Peewee would later recall that his knees felt weak as he waited for the lieutenant's verdict. He assumed that his immediate family was dead. He was 16. He had no home, no money and no clothing but what he wore. He wanted no more part of the Allies' displaced-persons camps. In the chaos following the war, he had no idea what to do next.
"Lt. Withers assumed that Peewee and Salomon would be returned to Dachau, where thousands of former prisoners were still convalescing, according to Army dispatches from the summer of 1945. He'd been to Dachau on a bread-and-milk delivery shortly after it was liberated. He'd seen bodies decomposing in an open ditch, smelled the rotting flesh. How could he send them back?
"'Keep them,' he recalled blurting to his men. 'We're going to take care of them.' In recent interviews, he struggled to explain why he changed his mind. 'I think I identified with them very strongly and instantaneously,' he said. He said he also risked losing face with his men. 'They were willing to take the chance. If I would have overruled them, I would have been on the wrong side of the decision.'
"The soldiers dressed the young men in fatigues and boots. Washing dishes, peeling potatoes and hosing down trucks with the GIs, Peewee and Salomon picked up English, including a few curse words. The soldiers initially paid them with candy and cigarettes, later with cash.
"When white officers came around, Peewee and Salomon ducked into the mess, a closet or a truck cab. On supply runs, they burrowed under tarpaulins in the backs of trucks. In one close call, Peewee recalled, he hid from a military policeman under a tarp while some GIs sat on it.
"By the fall of 1945, many Army units had begun hiring local people so U.S. soldiers could go home. Peewee and Salomon no longer had to hide. They were strong enough by then to live on their own, but they stayed with Lt. Withers even as he transferred to Quartermaster Truck Company 3511 in early 1946, and it moved to the Bavarian village of Staffelstein.
"At religious services, the young men sang and clapped to Gospel music. They learned to drive and to shoot. They bartered with farmers for hams, chickens and eggs. Peewee tried baseball, pitched horseshoes, posed in a cowboy hat and botched a batch of biscuits. Lt. Withers bought each a watch. He taught them the English words to 'Taps.'
"Peewee and Salomon spent many evenings talking with the lieutenant. Sometimes he read them tales of Greek, Norse and Roman mythology. But mostly they wanted to hear about the U.S., he recalled later. What kinds of jobs could they find there? Could they get rich? Though he couldn't answer these questions for himself, Lt. Withers told Peewee and Salomon, 'Get to the United States and you'll be all right.' He didn't speak of race or anti-Semitism because 'they didn't need anything negative,' he recalled…
"The lieutenant wondered how Peewee and Salomon could remain so happy and gentle after what they'd endured. 'They didn't become hateful or hostile in return. They didn't become bitter or apathetic,' he would recall. 'That was something I've kept with me all my life: that it is possible for someone — me, anyone — to overcome the obstacles in his path without losing himself and face prejudice without becoming prejudiced in return.'
"The day Lt. Withers went home in December 1946, Peewee and Salomon waited near his Jeep in Staffelstein. By then, Peewee had an apartment in nearby Bamberg and a job at a machine and auto-repair shop. He and Salomon presented the lieutenant with a photo album embossed with his name. He gave them each a pen and his mother's Greensboro address. Then they saluted before Lt. Withers rumbled away.
"In his footlocker in the back of the Jeep rested a picture-postcard Peewee had given him. It showed Peewee beaming in a U.S. Army uniform, his soft cap at a jaunty angle. On the back he'd written, in English, 'To my good friend, Lt. John L. Withers.'
"Five decades later, the postcard found its way to John Withers's eldest son. John Withers II couldn't get it out of his mind. He and his brother, Gregory, had been hearing about Peewee and Salomon since they were little. Their father had no stories about ambushing Nazis or shooting Messerschmitts out of the sky. When his sons asked about the war, he talked about Peewee and Salomon.
"Mr. Withers told these tales as he, his wife, Daisy, and their sons traveled the globe. After his honorable discharge from the Army, he used the GI Bill and earned a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Chicago. He taught at universities in North Carolina and Michigan before joining the U.S. Agency for International Development, where he spent 21 years on assignments from Laos to Kenya before retiring in 1979 to Silver Spring, Md.
"Wherever the Witherses went, they carried photographs of Peewee and Salomon. In John II's eyes, the men became like long-lost uncles. He frequently asked his father why he hadn't tried to find them. Mr. Withers said he wouldn't know where to begin. All he knew was Peewee's real name.
"By 2000, that was enough for John II, then 51 and the State Department's deputy chief of mission in Riga, Latvia. On vacation in Germany, he'd detoured to Staffelstein and questioned natives about the black Army unit.
"He received a one-year State Department sabbatical and began his hunt. The first Holocaust-survivor registers he checked had no record of a Mieczyslaw Wajgenszperg. But an Israeli search agency revealed that Peewee had emigrated to the U.S. or Canada. Then Yad Vashem, the vast repository of Holocaust records in Israel, supplied a catalog of the camps he'd been in: Starachowice, Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Dachau. It shocked the elder Mr. Withers, who'd known only about Dachau.
"Internet searches on Auschwitz and Buchenwald supplied too many leads to sort through, so John II focused on a place he'd never heard of, Starachowice. That led him to Christopher Browning, a University of North Carolina historian who had collected testimonies of 235 Starachowice survivors. Mr. Browning sent John II to Howard Chandler, a Starachowice survivor in Toronto who had compiled a list of other survivors.
"John II called the man one evening in March 2001. Mr. Chandler, whose name was once Chaim Wajchendler, said yes, he had a phone number for Mieczyslaw in Connecticut.
"'Oh my God,' John II recalled thinking as he scribbled the number. After thanking Mr. Chandler, he dialed. There was a ring, then some high-pitched tones. He dialed again and got the same thing. The number was disconnected.
"Had Peewee moved? Or died? John II redialed Mr. Chandler, who said he'd try again. Mr. Chandler called a friend in Israel who supplied a slightly different number. The area code had changed. Instead of calling John II to tell him, Mr. Chandler decided to call Mieczyslaw himself.
"A few days later, in Hartford, Conn., a businessman named Martin Weigen received an unusual phone call. Mr. Weigen and his wife, Margareta, had married in Germany in 1948. They moved to Israel, where Mr. Weigen had relatives, then back to Germany, and then to the U.S., where Mr. Weigen hoped to make his fortune.
"After they arrived in 1956, Mr. Weigen and Margareta shortened their surname, first to Weisperg, then to Weigen. Mr. Weigen was Jewish, but he'd never been religious, and he worried that his daughter and son might suffer discrimination. They were raised Roman Catholic, like their mother.
"Mr. Weigen worked days at a machinery company and at night helped his wife run a residential-care home they had bought. He left the machinery company in 1976 when he and his wife bought a second care home, where they housed and fed people who couldn't take care of themselves.
"They lived in a big white colonial on two wooded acres where Mr. Weigen liked to feed the birds. 'Isn't the nature beautiful?' he would say in his soft Polish accent.
"His daughter, Barbara Bergren, and his son, Edward Weigen, worked with him at his two residential-care homes and at a third that Edward bought. At a cottage the elder Mr. Weigen owned on Long Island Sound, he loved to stand at his bar and brag about his grandchildren.
"But he rarely talked about the mother, father and sister he'd lost as a boy in Poland. Questions about his childhood and his wartime experiences were met with halting answers and, sometimes, tears. As he aged, his children worried that his stories might die with him.
"Now, on the telephone, Howard Chandler told him someone was looking for him. On an index card, Mr. Weigen jotted a name — 'Wichers' — and a phone number. He was a little hard of hearing. He wasn't sure who 'Wichers' was.
"He told his daughter, Ms. Bergren, about the message when she was helping at his office on April 3, 2001. The name 'Wichers' meant nothing to her, but her dad seemed eager to call. He listened on one phone while Ms. Bergren dialed another. John Withers II picked up the phone in his home library in Rockville, Md. Propped on his desk was a framed copy of Peewee's postcard.
"'Mr. Wichers?' Ms. Bergren recalled saying.
"'Withers,' he corrected.
"She didn't know that name either. 'I believe you're looking for a relative of mine,' she said.
"John II's heart sank. Was Peewee dead? he recalled thinking. He identified himself, and asked if she was related to Mieczyslaw Wajgenszperg.
"'Yes, he's sitting right here,' she said, as she and John II recalled the conversation. 'But he has a hearing impediment and if it's all right with you, I'll stay on the phone.'
"Mr. Weigen cut in from the other phone: 'You are the son of Lt. John L. Withers of North Carolina?'
"'Yes,' John II said.
"Ms. Bergren turned to see her father. His eyes had filled with tears.
"He whispered: 'I know John Withers.'
"Mr. Weigen wondered if he would recognize John Withers as he waited, three weeks later, at Gate A-1 of Hartford's Bradley International Airport.
"They were old men now. Mr. Weigen was 72, with feathery white hair and hearing aids. Mr. Withers, 84, wore a tan cap on his bald head and was shorter now than his old friend. The men embraced.
"'Lt. John,' Mr. Weigen recalled saying.
"'Peewee,' said Mr. Withers.
"They were inseparable all weekend, holding hands and reminiscing while their families got to know each other. Mr. Weigen had told his children that a black soldier helped him during the war, but he hadn't said much more. His wife had asked more than once why he didn't use the Greensboro address to contact the lieutenant. 'He wouldn't even remember who I am,' Mr. Weigen said he told her.
"Now he showed Mr. Withers yellowed photos from their time together, many of which Mr. Weigen's children and grandchildren had never seen. Nor had they known that Mr. Weigen had been called Peewee. Mr. Withers tried to call him Martin, but Mr. Weigen patted his hand and said, 'No, no, John, to you I'm always Peewee.'
"John II and his wife started asking Mr. Weigen about the Nazi camps. Edward Weigen and Ms. Bergren silently worried that this would be too painful for their father. But with Mr. Withers at his side, Mr. Weigen opened up. Over one dinner that the family captured on videotape, he talked about his childhood and what his father had done for a living. 'You ever hear that?' Edward, 43, said to Ms. Bergren. 'I didn't.'
"In the past, their father rarely got beyond generalities before he grew quiet, or his eyes welled. Then his children would back off. 'His way of survival was that you can't immerse yourself in that, you have to always move forward,' said Ms. Bergren, 53.
"With Mr. Withers it was different. Now when Mr. Weigen's emotions got to him, according to Edward, 'he'd slow down, take breaths,' and then dig deeper into his memories. One day Mr. Weigen told how some food he'd scrounged from an abandoned cellar near Auschwitz made him ill. 'Listening to him, you know that this is the first time he has spoken of or thought of it since it happened,' Edward said.
"He talked about life in the Starachowice ghetto and described his journey to Dachau. He drew a diagram of the first room the soldiers gave him. He pulled out more photos his kids had never seen, including one of him with his sister, Klara, in the ghetto.
"With the help of Mr. Weigen and John II, Edward began his own exploration of the past. He obtained the Jan. 26, 1945, list of Auschwitz prisoners transported to Buchenwald, which included his father. He learned that Mr. Weigen had altered his birthdate at Auschwitz to make himself two years older. He confirmed that Mr. Weigen's mother, and probably his sister, had died at Treblinka.
"In the summer of 2001, the entire Withers family attended the wedding of Mr. Weigen's granddaughter in Connecticut. Mr. Withers sent cards, letters and birthday gifts to the Weigen and Bergren children. In e-mails, Ms. Bergren referred to John II as 'my newfound brother.' In the summer of 2002, Edward and his family visited the Witherses in Maryland. Health problems kept Mr. Weigen from traveling, but this year the families began planning another Connecticut reunion for the fall.
"Five weeks ago, Mr. Withers stepped off another plane in Hartford, not for a reunion, but to bury Peewee.
"Mr. Weigen died Oct. 16. He was 75…About 40 people attended his memorial service at a funeral home near Hartford. Two easels and an album displayed photos: Mieczyslaw with his sister and mother on a summer day; Peewee and Salomon grinning with a black soldier named Dave; Messrs. Weigen and Withers hugging.
"The room fell silent as Ms. Bergren stood and told how Mr. Withers gave her father 'a new beginning.' She asked Mr. Withers to stand. 'For what you did that year to bring him back to us, we will be forever grateful,' she said. 'We love you for it.'
"Later Mr. Withers, 87, rose to speak. Behind him lay Mr. Weigen in a mahogany casket, wearing his favorite sweater and clutching a dried rose from his seaside house. Mr. Withers felt sad and a little confused. He'd thought that Mr. Weigen, as strong as he was, would hold on for a few years.
"He smiled and said, 'My name is John Withers, and I have known Martin longer than anyone in this room.' He spoke of how Mr. Weigen had cheered his men, and how his gentle manner would endure in the two families who loved him. Finally, he recited the lyrics to a song Mr. Weigen had sung when he was simply Peewee, 'Taps':
"Day is done,
Gone the sun,
From the lakes,
From the hills,
From the sky.
All is well,
Safely rest,
God is nigh."

From the Globe and Mail:
As crime sagas go, a scheme rigged by a sophisticated cartel of global traders has all the right blockbuster elements: clandestine movements of illegal substances through a network of co-operatives in Asia, a German conglomerate, jet-setting executives, doctored laboratory reports, high-profile takedowns and fearful turncoats.
What makes this worldwide drama unusual, other than being regarded as part of the largest food fraud in U.S. history, is the fact that honey, nature's benign golden sweetener, is the lucrative contraband.
Honey has become a staple in the North American diet. Those that do not consume it straight from bear-shaped squeeze bottles eat it regularly whether they know it or not – honey is baked into everything from breakfast cereals to cookies and mixed into sauces and cough drops. About 1.2 million metric tons of honey is produced worldwide each year.

Local officials say they are concerned that the state's plans for money from oil spill fines could leave vulnerable areas of Terrebonne and Lafourche without protection.
Local officials say they are concerned that the state's plans for money from oil spill fines could leave vulnerable areas of Terrebonne and Lafourche without protection.
Few defenses are included for eastern Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes in the state's master plan for coastal protection and restoration, the document which details where and how work should be done.
Local restoration officials are asking for flexibility to use oil spill fines in the ways they believe they can best protect the parish.
The Restore Act, passed by Congress last year, dedicates 80 percent of Clean Water Act fines to restoration work in the Gulf.
Companies involved with the spill can be fined from $1,000 to $4,300 per barrel leaked after the 2010 deadly explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon rig. That could add up to fines of between $5 billion and $20 billion, including the $1 billion civil settlement from Transocean approved by a federal judge last week.
Of the money, 30 percent will be used for restoration and protection by the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council. The other 30 percent will be sent to Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida and must be spent in a way that's consistent with the goals of the council's restoration plan.
Another 35 percent of the Restore Act money will be divided equally among Gulf states. Louisiana will automatically get 7 percent. Of that, 4.9 percent will go to the state government and 2.1 percent will be divided between the state's 20 coastal zone parishes, including Terrebonne and Lafourche. More money will be awarded to parishes with more oiled shoreline and larger populations.
Louisiana officials have said that any oil spill money sent here will be spent on projects in the state's master plan.
State Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority officials did not immediately return phone calls, but local officials said the master plan doesn't address vital restoration needs in Terrebonne and Lafourche.
"This is the epicenter for land loss," Lafourche Parish Manager Archie Chaisson III said.
Terrebonne Coastal Restoration Director Nic Matherne said the parish's biggest needs are between the Bayou Terrebonne and Bayou Lafourche ridges, an area that includes Montegut, Pointe-aux-Chenes and Isle de Jean Charles.
This area was previously left out of the master plan entirely, but comments from concerned residents prompted the state to extend a restoration project along La. 1 to Golden Meadow and add a new marsh-creation project west of Bayou Terrebonne. They also included a project that would restore land on the rim of the rapidly eroding Terrebonne Bay to help prevent further breakthrough and deterioration in wetlands there.
Matherne said more projects are needed because of the extreme land loss in that area.
Chaisson said Lafourche has similar objections because the entire eastern side of the parish was left out of the state's master plan. Lafourche needs more marsh-creation and freshwater-introduction projects there, he said.
"We'll be stuck with a beautiful western side and a completely devastated eastern side," Chaisson said.
Chaisson said that Lafourche will attempt to get smaller projects included in annual restoration plans released annually by the state. They also are negotiating to vet additional restoration projects through the state's planning process to make them eligible for money from oil spill fines.
Both Chaisson and Matherne said they will appeal to the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Task Force, which controls oil spill fine spending, for greater spending flexibility.
Planning restoration is difficult because no one knows when BP will choose to settle with the government and how much the company will agree to settle for, Matherne said. That will make a big difference in what kind of projects the parish can hope to pay for on its own.
"We don't know if we're talking about $7 million or $70 million," Matherne said. "But we really need more marsh creation. These areas are disappearing at a frightening rate."

Available ebook formats: epub mobi pdf rtf lrf pdb txt html
I'm an avid reader and love to write. I am married with two boys and reside in Minnesota. Some of my favorite authors are Stephen King,Dean Koontz, James Patterson, Peter Straub, Suzanne Collins, J.K. Rowling, Thomas Harris, Dan Brown, Cormac McCarthy, My new favorite- Bentley Little, and many many more. I'm willing to read any author who has a great idea and is able to express his ideas in a way I can relate(at least with the characters) and understand clearly. I revise constanly and still don't end up satified, but i guess that is something that will come in time, hopefully. I hope you enjoy my stories as much as I enjoy writing them. I am currently working on a novel, but I will try to upload new short stories from time to time, mostly free to read. I believe if I'm going to charge anything it should be at least 4,000 words or more. A lot of the stories I post are old and had been written years ago, but I think they still have good potential (After endless revising and I know they're still not perfect).
P.S. you can find my newest stories under M.D. Stephens. I will no longer be posting stories under this pen name. I am taking a different approach and trying to appeal to a broader audience. I thank all of you who have read these stories, and I urge you to check out my other profile where there is some exciting stuff to come. My attempt from now on is to write stories without all the sexual situations and extreme graphic violence. I believe if I'm a good enough writer, I should be able to entertain without being so gritty and explicit. I'm not going to completely abandon the darker side, but for now, I'm going to tone it down. the link for my new profile is below.
Thanks for your time. Matt

In our preliminary conversations, those of us who have already been meeting have identified three directions in which Peace and Justice studies at MC might move:
These are not incompatible approaches; in fact, the last may move into the second, which could eventually result in the first. At Montgomery College, we pride ourselves on our diversity and on the opportunities we provide for personal and academic growth. With the creation of this initiative, the foundation of a Peace and Justice Studies program here at MC, we wish to establish a forum for bringing to life the maxim "be the change you wish to see in the world." We wish to explore how to bring the ideals, and the practice, of peace and justice to the classroom, to the campus, to the community, and to the world.
We who have already started the conversation hope that you will join, and that together our voices and our actions will create new learning opportunities that focus on peace and justice at Montgomery College.

Thanks from all of us for your fantastic submissions
The Call for Makers for the January 2012 Mini Maker Faire Melbourne is now Closed!
See the list at the end of this page to review the Makers who were there on the day of Maker Faire.
We appreciate all of the submissions that we have received, and we have worked hard to accommodate as many Makers as we could within the limitations of time and space. We're still working to include a few late submissions, so keep an eye out for an email if you haven't yet received one. If you have any questions, please drop us an email at the info address listed on the About page. Thanks for all the fantastic proposals you sent in – they gave us smiles of excitement and wonder on a regular basis. We can't wait to see you all on the day!
Just a reminder: For this not-for-profit event, we're aiming to promote the community first. It's important not to look like yet-another trade-show. Therefore, we ask that vendors don't transact any product or service sales on the day, but instead either point interested customers to your online store, or arrange for a follow up discussion after the event.
The exception to this condition is that if you are running a workshop or demonstration, we are happy for you to recover from attendees — through collecting donations — your out-of-pocket costs for materials and staff required to host your session. We suggest you try where possible to keep those costs under $10 per attendee, and we ask that you manage collection of donations on your own behalf.

Charles T. Haigh left VMI to serve as a Lt. in the 37th North Carolina Infantry Regt. He was killed in battle at Spottsylvania on May 12, 1864, one year after he wrote these diary entries.
Monday May 11th [1863]
The death of the lamented hero "Stonewall" Jackson is a terrible blow to the South. The news of his death reached us last night at midnight--his military career fills the brightest and most momentous pages of the history of our country and the achievements of our army. He departed this life at Guinea Station last Sunday at 3 1/4 o'clock. His remains will be carried to Richmond where they will be in state for one day and then brought here (Lexington) for interment.
Wednesday May 13th
All academic duties are suspended today in honor to the old hero. His body is expected hourly.
Thursday May 14th Gen. Jackson's body arrived by the boat at 1 o'clock--was escorted to Barracks by the Corps and placed in his old Section room which room is draped in mourning for the period of six months. He is in a fine metallic coffin. The first flag made in the South of the new design covers his coffin--on the flag wreaths of evergreens and flowers. It is the request of his wife that he shall be buried tomorrow. Half hour guns have been firing from [illegible] fired from his old battery.
Friday May 15th Guns have been firing all morning in honor of the lamented Jackson.
Friday afternoon. The procession formed in front of the Sally port at half past ten. Commenced to move at 11. Corps in front of caisson on which he was borne. Then a company of Cavalry, after that a company composed of all the wounded and all that were once members of the old Stonewall Brigade. Bells were tolling all over town. Funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. White.

Who Shot Down SEALs In Afghanistan? – Dead Men Don't Talk
Inside Scoop: Shot Down Black-Op Seals Won't Be Talking Now
by Julius Sequerra
Sat Aug 06 2011
31 American military personnel were killed when the Boeing Chinook helicopter in which they were flying crashed in Afghanistan.
Of the thirty-one killed, twenty were members of SEAL Team 6.
More importantly, I've been reliably informed (by a retired Colonel, US Army intel) that these very same operatives were the men who allegedly killed Usama bin Laden recently in Abbottabad. [NB: Seal Team 6 is an ultra-elite group of "black" operatives who exist outside military protocol, engage in operations that are at the highest level of classification, and often outside the bounds of international law.]
The official story is that the Taliban shot down the chopper. I have my doubts (as do many others far more savvy than yours truly).
[Remember Pat Tillman, the Pro Football star who forsook a megabuck contract and volunteered to go fight in Afghanistan in the heat of the post-9/11 patriotic frenzy? The official story is that Tillman was killed in a friendly-fire incident. According to reports from several US military personnel (a few of whom I know), Pat Tillman was assassinated by his own government. Reportedly, Tillman, the quintessential poster-boy for military recruitment, was waking up to the 9/11 lie, and was beginning to get a little too loose-lipped for his own good. Word traveled up the chain fast. Three bullets to the head fired at close range killed him. Friendly-fire indeed.]

Vigil for Tinsley: Friends, family gather to remember shooting victim
Friends and family of shooting victim Pherbia "Faye" Tinsley gathered in Forest Hills Park on Friday, July 20, at sundown for a candlelight vigil to remember the 51-year-old grandmother who was discovered dead in her car on Prospect Avenue on Saturday morning. According to the state medical examiner's office, Tinsley died of a gunshot wound to the neck. Police have released a description of the suspect in her death, but he remains at large.
"It's really hard," says Tinsley's 22-year-old daughter, Telambria Tinsley, who relied on her mother to care for her four-year-old daughter while she worked and took classes. Telambria, who lives in the Westhaven public housing complex on Hardy Drive, says Tinsley was the primary rent-payer on the Barracks Road apartment that her late mother shared with her fiancé, Sebastian Chavez, and their 19-year-old son, Romequez Chavez, an Army Reservist.
"We were together almost 21 years," says Sebastian Chavez.
A veteran, Chavez first met Tinsley at the Veterans Administration hospital in Salem. As previously reported, Tinsley suffered a head injury during her early 1980s Army service that rendered her unable to work but afforded her disability payments. Chavez says he lost his job selling cars just a few weeks before the slaying of his long-time partner. With Tinsley gone, both he and Telambria worry about making ends meet.
"I've got to look after my brother and my daughter now," says Telambria, who has opened a memorial account in her mother's name at Branch Banking and Trust and is pleading for donations to help with some of the financial burdens ensuing from her mother's death.
"We need a lot of help," she says.
Tinsley's funeral took place Saturday, July 21 at 11am at First Baptist Church on West Main Street.

It's a strange day for all Americans as we get back to our routines in the wake of the Sandy Hook horror. We are especially thinking of our 52 million schoolchildren who are returning to a place they — and we — believe to be safe. And while this is overwhelmingly true, Newtown shows that even the most carefully planned security systems like that at Sandy Hook Elementary School can be breached. We therefore echo the President's call for "meaningful action" to assure that this never happens again.
NSBA's leadership expressed our shared sympathy late on Friday. Today as we return to our daily lives, let's take a moment to remember the gentle lives lost. To honor the courage of teachers and administrators who ran toward danger, not away from it, in order to protect their young charges, six of whom paid the ultimate price for it. And grieve for the families whose pain will never go away.

The subject card index to the WPA inventories , while apparently losing some cards in the interim between its creation and its filming in the 1980s, is a good place to begin looking for topics (as they were thought of in the late 1930s) relating to the public history of Baltimore. An additional card index to names in the WPA/HRS inventories was also compiled at the same time as the subject index. Surnames A-Z have been placed on the Guide (just click on the links to view each letter range). It is not known how complete or comprehensive this index is, but the references to the WPA/HRS year/inventory numbers found in both indexes can be followed to the current arrangement of the papers in record groups utilizing the conversion table, WPA-HRS Record Groups, Baltimore City Archives, 1982 .
Getting to the original records from the subject card index is complicated by the fact that the original WPA arrangement of the loose papers of the city was reorganized into Record Groups. For example, there are three index cards for 'riots' :
1) http://mdhistory.net/msaref14/bca_m0216/html/bca_m0216-1062.html:
2) http://mdhistory.net/msaref14/bca_m0216/html/bca_m0216-1063.html:
3) http://mdhistory.net/msaref14/bca_m0216/html/bca_m0216-1064.html:
Apart from the anomaly that the WPA indexers did not seem to think there were any riots before 1835 (Baltimore's reputation as 'mob town' preceded the riots of 1835 by at least 2 decades) or after 1863 (the strike of 1877 is generally referred to as a 'riot' in its later phases), these documents are scattered now over several record groups. Take for example the 1835/38 documents which, along with the rest of the documents on the index cards, are cross referenced inWPA-HRS Record Groups, Baltimore City Archives, 1982:
1835/38 documents:
To see the original documents, add the year and reference number to the record group and series, and request the item(s). For example, the 1835 Mayors communication concerning restoration of tranquility would be retrieved by using this citation at the City Archives: BRG16 S1 HRS860 (1835).
The typescript inventories of Baltimore City Records prepared by the Historical Records Survey in the late 1930s are to be found in the Maryland State Archives Guide to Government Records, MSA CE 40 .

The Old Timer of Royal Oak, Mich., was a regular contributor to H&P years before we ever even heard of the internet. But most of his advice is just as ueful — and interesting — today.
So rather than leave his wisdom printed on pages archived in our storage room, I pulled out issues from the late 1980s and early 1990s and have been reproducing relevant entries in this blog. Here is my tenth entry, which was originally published in the August 1988 issue
Strange things can happen in return lines
Tank or return lines often are the orphans of hydraulic design procedures. What can go wrong in a piece of pipe that only has to carry low-pressure fluid back to the reservoir? Here's one story.
We had some equipment with the fairly conventional arrangement of a ¾-in. 4-way valve mounted on a manifold sitting on top of a reservoir. The tank line was 1-in. tubing with a right-angle fitting. This was probably designed for 15 ft/sec and should have been fine—except that I got many a bath from that rascal.
The reason: that valve operated the toggle-locking cylinder on a large-tonnage die casting machine. When the valve shifted to unlock the toggle, a momentary spring-snapping action accelerated fluid in the tank line to more than 120 ft/sec. Because kinetic energy is proportional to velocity squared, the eight-fold increase over design velocity resulted in an energy level 64 times higher. The weakest link in the return chain was the right-angle fitting and that was where we got consistent leakage and even some breakage.
After half a dozen different standard fittings failed to solve this problem, we decided to take a page out of the French horn designer's book and put in an expansion loop of tubing. It looked odd, but it halted our daily breakdowns. The loop lasted six months or longer.
One of the foremen in the area decided that if one loop was good, more would be better. He got his best pipefitter and the biggest bend dies in the shop. They turned a length of tubing into a triple-loop pigtail that lasted for years on that die casting machine.

Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM)(TSX: RIM) today announced the BlackBerry® 10 Jam World Tour for enterprise developers, which will initially roll out to 11 cities around the world beginning October 23 in Toronto, Canada and London, UK. The tour is designed to help developers in organizations create applications on the BlackBerry 10 platform that can securely access and leverage behind-the-firewall data within their organizations.

The series of day-long events organized for BlackBerry 10 Jam World Tour – Enterprise Edition will feature seminars and workshops geared towards specifically addressing the unique demands faced by enterprise developers, including how to provide employees with easy and secure access to company intranets, workflow systems, databases, and other confidential in-house data. They will learn how the wide range of developer tools for BlackBerry® 10, including HTML5 with BlackBerry® WebWorks™ and the BlackBerry® Native Development Kit (C++) with BlackBerry Cascades™, inherently provide mobile applications with the necessary security and connectivity needed for use within an enterprise. The BlackBerry 10 developer tools enable enterprise applications to be developed in just weeks, instead of months, and with user friendly interfaces.
Afternoon workshops will provide participants with the opportunity to work with BlackBerry experts and begin developing or porting behind-the-firewall mobile applications for their organizations.

February 9-15 Weekly Menu
This past week we have tried very hard to eat our planned meals but things always manage to get in the way. Although, other than Monday night, we have eaten dinner at home every night this week. I think that … Continue reading
3 days and we have yet to make the meals
As I mentioned in my first post (Family Meal Organization), we use Google Calendar to organize our family meals. Below is February's meal breakdown. I am sure there is an easier way than creating an all day event to show … Continue reading
Family Menu Organization
Hi There!
This is my first blog post here. I am currently undergoing a change of pace. I normally blog over at nitacure.ca/blog because my son and (soon-to-be) step-son have Type 1 Diabetes but I am currently having issues with updating there because I am so scatterbrained due to pregnancy hormones.
If you are a mom, or have ever experienced how terrible a woman's' memory can get when they have pregnancy brain, you know how I feel right now.
This post is a result of said pregnancy brain and my attempt to overcome it and be more organized.
We are a busy family always on the go but…it doesn't seem like we have enough hours in the day to get everything done. (Oh! You've heard that before? It's because it is true. – Isn't it?)
We are currently TRYING to save for our family vacation to Florida to the Children with Diabetes – Friends For Life Conference (since they cancelled the Canadian one) but are having a hard time with two children with diabetes and a baby on the way plus regular expenses.
Since we are trying to save money and to be a better organized family, Ty and I decided that we were going to have planned meals each month. So far, the idea was well received by the boys and had few complains so far but…it is only Day 3 of our planned meals. I honestly don't see this going all that well because Ty and I are so tired at the end of the day that we just want to crash on the couch and sleep but we can't. Boo!
To organize and to involve the boys in the scheduling of the meals, we printed off a calendar and menu options and went over them at the end of our family meeting two weeks ago.
We I also instituted a rule (which Ty doesn't like so much because it resulted in my kid and I not eating the planned meal on Saturday) was, that they boys have to help make dinner (or alternatively, if you don't want the meal) you get bread, butter and water for dinner. I know, I know I am torturing my family. I am not, honestly. The goal is to have the boys like more things because they will have a hand in cooking it. Sounds like a fool proof plan, doesn't it? Haha who am I kidding, this won't work well for long.
To better organize the meals, we also entered them electronically into our family Goggle calendar which syncs all events to our phones.
I love seeing what is coming up for dinner in the next week, however, I dropped and broke my phone last Thursday and am currently without my phone and I don't want to download too much stuff onto the loaner phone that my company gave me.
What about you, do you have planned meals for the family?

It might take a freight train to hold all of the services offered by CTSI-Global, the Memphis-based global supplier of supply chain management expertise and technology to the logistics industry.
With innovative technology and offices located worldwide, CTSI works with shippers and third-party logistics providers (3PLs) to manage their business through a database 150 terabytes strong.
Those services include freight audit and payment, rate negotiations, logistics management, claims management, benchmarking and consulting.
Phillip Mashburn is senior vice president of information technology operations for CTSI-Global, a Memphis-based global supplier of supply chain management.
(Memphis News/Andrew J. Breig)
As an example, Technicolor has a facility in Southaven that distributes 10 million DVDs a year for clients such as Paramount, Disney and Universal, which are also clients of CTSI.
"So every time they have a new DVD rollout, on a Tuesday, we help facilitate the shipments through our TMS software; we track every shipment and then we process it, pay it and put it into a massive data warehouse for them," said Ken Hazen, president and CEO of CTSI.
That data warehouse is backed up in a real-time offsite disaster recovery location in Atlanta, the same used by other giants such as Google, offering a greater level of protection for clients.
The key to success has been in staying ahead of the game. For CTSI, Hazen says, this means "being 18 months ahead of our clients and the industry on new software, new development, new technology. … It's whoever can be the most innovative."
Much of this innovation for CTSI began with the Y2K panic of the late 20th century, prompting a new system and the company reinventing itself. This involved Web-based TMS software that offered clients one of 10 modules for improving their operations, whether load consolidation, shipment execution or tracking of shipments, along with the core business of auditing and paying freight bills.
"So we're continually developing new products as well as refining a lot of our old products internally," Hazen said. "We're still having fun."
In India during that time, the infrastructure wasn't in place – the T-1 pipelines weren't efficient enough – to handle the imaging technology CTSI would develop. As they came online, CTSI opened an office there in 2006.
"They're working in India while we're sleeping, so we're still doing a ton of business in Memphis every day, but we're also sending a thousand batches of records to our Chennai office every night to be processed and they're waiting in the queue every morning," Hazen said. "So we're feeding it to them and they're feeding it back to us."
CTSI was founded in 1955 as Continental Traffic Service and was purchased in 1982 by Hazen, then 28 years old. Back then it was a regional concern, the 40,000 annual freight bills handled out of 220 square feet in the Falls Building Downtown.
Hazen said he threw a pizza party every Thursday night when they would manually file some of the 800,000 carrier tariff pages. The cutting-edge technology consisted of an electric IBM Selectric typewriter.
These days, the worldwide company – offices can be found in Singapore, Atlanta, Austin, Toronto and Limerick, Ireland, as well as India – is run from 30,000 square feet in the Clark Tower in East Memphis, writing upward of 200,000 checks and processing about 40,000 wire and ACH payments for clients each year for a total of $5 billion processed.
"We're still a number-crunching facility as well as a custom software house," Hazen said.
The company today employs nearly 250, with 140 in Memphis. As clients' needs and demands have changed, so has the industry and Hazen's business. They require real-time, up-to-the-minute information on location, received data and any potential problems from carriers.
"They're wanting it done faster and cheaper and it's up to us to provide the technology to keep our costs down to be able to pass it along to our clients," Hazen said.
As ever, the name of the game in logistics is efficiency. Hazen and CTSI have stayed competitive and an industry leader by being ahead of the curve when it comes to the technology and trends that will allow them to be on top of their clients' needs. Future growth will be a partnership between leaps in technology and an expansion of the client base worldwide.
"We feel like the world is our oyster as far as the ability to expand in different parts of the world depending on our ability to open up the right office in the most strategic locations," Hazen said.

At the end of January, The BigScreen Cinema Guide marked the end of its 14th year of publication!
Back in January 1995, this site was launched as the "Penguin Cinema Guide" and it delivered showtimes for every theater in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. Web sites were a fairly new concept back then, and our biggest challenge was in convincing movie theaters that people really did want to find their showtimes on the Internet. That was then, this is now...
Now, we list showtimes for about a thousand theaters across the country, and we have good relationships with many theaters. We work with most of the major movie studios to deliver accurate and up to date information about movies in theaters now and those coming in the future. Each month, we serve more than 2.5 million pages to more than 600,000 readers! Our new server that we installed last year doesn't even break a sweat, even during the busiest times when multiple blockbusters are released at once.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our readers for making The BigScreen Cinema Guide one of the best sites of its kind on the net!
We're not resting on our laurels, and rather than take any more time to trumpet our own achievements, we're going to get back to work and proceed with our plans to release more new features on the site in 2009!

Pink Hill Elementary Relay walk; home food preservation workshop; walk for elder abuse awareness
Pink Hill Elementary walks for cancer
Folks riding by Pink Hill Elementary School Wednesday afternoon probably took a second look at the gathered crowd.
Staff and students hosted their first Relay for Life school-wide walk and celebration with a balloon arch, star studded walkway and an array of purple shirts. Survivors, victims and their families were honored and recognized in their fights against cancer and led the crowd in several laps around the school. The celebration ended with an Icee Pop party for everyone involved.
With the generosity and support of the community, the school has more than doubled its Relay for Life goal this year.
Brush up on preserving food
A Home Food Preservation Workshop will be from 2 to 4 p.m. June 28 at the Lenoir County Cooperative Extension Office, 1791 Hwy. 11/55.
Participants can learn the guidelines for canning and freezing foods safely at home. Dehydration and specialty canning also will be covered. There is no cost, but seating is limited.
Pre-registration is required by calling 252-527-2191.
Stand up for elder justice
A walk is being held at 11 a.m. Wednesday at the North Carolina Veteran�s Home, 2150 Hull Road, to recognize and defend elderly victims of abuse and exploitation.
The event is part of a county effort to raise awareness of elder abuse and educate the community on prevention and interception of these acts. Older adult advocates are encouraged to participate to show their value of justice for elderly residents of Lenoir County.
The Administration on Aging 2013 reports that in 2012, more than 21,000 cases were reported to N.C. Adult Protective Services. Estimates of actual occurrence translate to 105,000 annual cases of elder abuse or exploitation in the state. With the baby boomer generation aging into retirement and other benefits, a larger than ever population is being targeted by scams. It is important for citizens to know what these potential risks are.
Sponsors are the Lenoir County Council on Aging, Lenoir County Department of Social Services, Lenoir Memorial Hospital, Lenoir County Senior Health Insurance Information Program, Eastern Carolina Council Area Agency on Aging, and the N.C. Veteran�s Home-Kinston.
For more information, contact Mineko Holloway, Council on Aging executive director, at 252-527-1545 or email@example.com.

WWW.SWARM.ORG is back!
We have just restored the Swarm Development Group wiki (October 2015), following a major server crash several years ago. We will be gradually cleaning up the site. Its emphasis will be on supporting Swarm software and SDG's annual SwarmFest.
Announcement for Swarmfest 2012
Email Inquiries to: firstname.lastname@example.com
Test will take place in Downtown Charlotte, N.C. July 29-31, 2012, hosted by the Complex Systems Institute at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte (http://complexity.uncc.edu/). The conference venue is the UNCC Center City Building http://centercity.uncc.edu/. Local Map http://centercity.uncc.edu/map-and-directions and Parking http://centercity.uncc.edu/parking
Registration can be accomplished at http://www.cvent.com/d/tcqqgn
Swamfest is the annual meeting of the Swarm Development Group (SDG), and one of the oldest communities involved in the development and propagation of agent-based modeling. Swarmfest has traditionally involved a mix of both tool-users and tool-developers, drawn from many domains of expertise. These have included, in the past, computer scientists, software engineers, biomedical researchers, ecologists, economists, political scientists, social scientists, resource management specialists and evolutionary biologists. Swarmfest represents a low-key environment for researchers to explore new ideas and approaches, and benefit from a multi-disciplinary environment.
This year we will continue to examine the range of systems being modeled with ABM, with the possibility of providing some guidance as to the suitability of the various types of agent-based models for particular types of modeling goals. We also encourage the sharing of our experiences with attempting to gain acceptance of ABM within our own research communities, and discuss strategies where cross-domain examples/analogies can aid in that process. We will also try to identify future avenues for ABM research, including the "next" generation of ABM tools, platforms and application.
Watch this page for upcoming news on program and logistics.
Hope to see you in Charlotte! Template:Posted
New version of Objective-C Swarm for Windows
There is a new binary (and source) release of Swarm that works with MinGW, a compiler that produces Windows executables. Advantages of this new way to use Swarm in Windows:
- Windows executables can be launched directly from Windows, without needing to launch from inside a Unix-like environment.
- Swarm models can be distributed for use on any Windows computer, without requiring Swarm or MinGW to be installed.
- Faster execution than Cygwin Swarm.
See Swarm_and_MinGW
Be a Swarm Development Group Member!
Membership in SDG is a way to support our efforts to maintain and improve Swarm, and to support agent-based modeling. We just updated our membership page with new membership categories and procedures. Take a look to see what you can do. Template:Posted
