The United States dropped the first bombs of the Iraq War 11 years ago today.
That war is over, but many troops who fought there are now waging personal battles at home. While thousands suffered physical wounds, the nightmare of war is refought in the minds of hundreds of thousands of troops daily as they suffer with traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"One of my friends said, as she put it, that her husband, he didn't die, but he didn't come home," said Nicole James, wife of former Marine Sgt. Jesse James, who deployed to Iraq twice and deals with PTSD and other aftereffects of several blasts. "He's a completely different guy. It's a grieving process in accepting that it's not him. … You have to go through that and accept that it's not going to be him, so you can move on toward accepting who he is now and working forward and making progress on it."
The USO has several programs and services for troops who served in Iraq who are wrestling with the daily impact of PTSD while trying to transition to civilian life.
- The USO Warrior and Family Center at Fort Belvoir, Va.: The USO built the first-of-its-kind Warrior and Family Center on the Fort Belvoir medical campus so troops receiving recurring treatment there could have a place to start their transition with programs like USO/Hire Heroes USA Transition Workshops, art therapy offerings like Combat Paper, and more. Troops there can also use the facility to relax, watch TV or grab a snack.
- Stronger Families Oxygen Seminars: This valuable program brings couples together in a classroom setting to help improve their relationships. Check out this clip for a great story from Stronger Families Executive Director Noel Meador:
- USO Caregivers Conferences: Caregivers of wounded warriors need help, too. The USO has held multiple Caregivers Conferences to address concerns like compassion fatigue and helping kids deal with drastic life changes.
- Adaptive sports: Many recovering service members find solace and regain their confidence on the playing field. The USO supports endeavors like the Marine Corps Trials and Warrior Games. Take a look:
Their journey is everyone's responsibility. From the moment they enlist, through their assignments and deployments, and as they transition back to their communities, they can rely on your support.

6 of the most offbeat jobs women have really had
We've all had the odd job here and there, but if you could pick one, what would you say was your strangest? These women dish on the weirdest jobs they've ever had.
I've never had a really unusual job — I was a fast-food worker at a few points in my life, and once I sold stuff on eBay for a pawn shop. But I was curious about what interesting, bizarre or unusual jobs the women I know have had in the past, and when I asked around, I was not disappointed.
"My stripper gig was obviously my weirdest," shares my childhood friend, Ellen, who now works as an attorney. "I did it when I got divorced the first time and was a single mom. The club I worked at had a different porn 'star' come in every week; they would do a day show and two night shows. I had to work days one week, and I didn't have a sitter, so Ginger Lynn and her bodyguard babysat Tanner — took him to the beach, out for ice cream and to McDonald's — while I worked! I hated the job so much but would get through it by thinking of the talking Barney doll Tanner wanted. He was in a big Barney phase, and so I would literally sing the songs in my head to get through my shift. I learned a lot about men, women, sex, porn and money." She was also able to use what she learned then as a life lesson for her son later in his life, and she taught him that he should always respect everyone, no matter what he or she does for a living — because everyone has a backstory.
Jenna, who lives in Missouri, was an Easter Bunny one year at her local country club. The bonus for her was that she didn't have to wear some heavy, frightening and suffocating mask — and she also didn't scare the crap out of the kids. "I wore makeup," she tells me. "Whiskers, nose, lips and eyes, and I didn't use the white 'clown' face paint. I had ears, and I wore the fuzzy suit. The kids weren't afraid — I had zero tears, thanks to my light face makeup I believe. The little ones were in awe of me! It was a special experience that I am happy I got to have."
She isn't the only one who had an unusual job that required dressing up. "I had a one-time gig as a clown," shares Aubrey. "I juggled and made a lot of balloon animals. It was fun to take on the role of someone that most people love. The kids had some great ideas for balloon animals/creations — turtles, butterflies and cars were my favorites. It always feels good to do something that brings smiles to the faces of both kids and adults."
Vanessa had a job on an Alaska slime line, and although it only lasted three days, it made a lasting impression on her. What is a slime line? She says, "You clean fish. It's called a slime line because the fish get slimy — you have people yelling at you to hurry up and clean so the fish won't fall on the floor." She notes that there was more yelling to ensure you didn't spill the eggs, and then she talked about chopping off fish heads, cutting them open and pulling out the innards. "It was freezing, and my clothes smelled," she explains. "I hated fish before, and I still dislike them."
Ashley tells me that when she was younger, she worked as a body collector. "I worked through a company that would call us to pick up bodies," she explains. "Could be old age, murder, accident. Then we would take it to a funeral home or the morgue. I am very interested in funeral directing. I was very intrigued. It was sad but very neat. I found it exciting."
Another childhood friend of mine worked as a pediatric hospice nurse. "All I ever heard from people that found out what I did was, "Oh my goodness, I could never do that.' I felt that they deserved dignity and comfort from pain just like adults, but mostly I was there to comfort and support the parents. Used almost every aspect of nursing teaching, and it was my most rewarding, if not unusual, job."

Pondering the future of the Windows operating system, Technologizer asked a group of 28 revered journalists, technologists, and former Microsoft employees how Microsoft can keep Windows relevant. Fortunately, one of them declined and Xavier was asked to step in. Bazinga!
Ha, I kid because I love. But seriously, it is pretty cool that our very own Xavier Lanier is occupying the same thought space as Robert Scoble, Mary-Jo Foley, Ed Bott, and several others in the know. Of course, as publisher of both Notebooks.com and GottaBeMobile.com, X is no slouch in the Windows knowledge department either, and he presents excellent points particularly as they relate to a mobile environment and the personal nature of mobile computing.
It's a good read for anyone thinking about the direction of Windows. I personally didn't need to read Xavier's bit because he and I operate on the same mental wavelength. I can practically read his mind. For instance, he is currently thinking something like, "You are a total D…" D, D, D-something. Delight. D-Pad. Dictionary. Dickensian. Something like that. My psychic powers get hazy without an obscure 80's reference or pouch of Big League Chew. Anyway, please pop over to Technologizer to read and compare for yourself.

Sandra Ceballos
2012 Caribbean Crossroads of the World, Queens Museum of Art, New York
Andreas Winkler and Sebastian A.C. Berger, eds., Cuba: Arte contemporáneo/Contemporary Art (New York: Overlook Press, 2012), p. 85.
Kevin Power and Pilar Perez, eds., While Cuba Waits: Art from the Nineties (Santa Monica, CA: Smart Art Press, 1999). Essays by Lupe Álvarez, Dannys Montes de Oca Moreda, and Kevin Power.
Guantánamo, Cuba 1961
On recalling works from the 1989 Havana exhibition, La bella y la bestia (Beauty and the Beast, Project Castillo de la Fuerza), or leafing through the 1995 catalogue of the Juan Francisco Elso Contemporary Art Award (National Museum of Fine Arts, Havana), one cannot fail to notice the peculiar position that Sandra Ceballos occupies in Cuban art. In these exhibitions, and in the 1993 show Absolut Jawlensky (Galería Habana), Ceballos proclaims her uniqueness among the essential figures in contemporary Cuban art. Even that outsider of Cuban art par excellence, Ezequiel Suárez, at times seems a little cowed by her towering presence.
Ceballos's poetic decision to delve into the the universe of the scatological, the morbid, the grotesque, the forbidden, and the ill joins her to a Cuban tradition fostered by such outstanding artists as Antonia Eiriz and Santiago (Chago) Armada. Ceballos's sensibility marks her as a direct descendant of their "pedigree of horror," not only in her work as an artist but in her roles as curator and art promoter, so necessary for expanding the milieu of Cuban art.
Owing to her sensibility and poetics, Ceballos—who, graduating from San Alejandro in 1983, is part of the 1980s generation—has had to wait longer for critical understanding than some of her contemporaries. Many of her works, exhibitions, and curatorial projects have the force of an unexpected punch in the face. Ceballos doesn't know the meaning of defeat, and her unwavering attachment to her aesthetic convictions has rooted her firmly in the Cuban cultural landscape.
La expresión sicógena (The Psychogenic Expression) was the title chosen for the solo exhibition of Ceballos's art that was organized by the National Museum of Fine Arts in November-December 1996, in tribute to her having received the abovementioned Juan Francisco Elso Award the year before. The show boasted an impressive conceptual cohesion; strange, soft sculptures creating a world that bordered on illness and insanity. The gallery was infused with intense feelings of torment and repulsion, as if it were located in a malevolent sanatorium.
This piece, originally referred to as "Untitled" in the exhibition catalogue, was part of a series in which the green cloth of the operating room replaced the traditional canvas. The work seemed to represent the sacrifice of a human body. Surgical pins, intravenous tubing, fragments of medical records, all attached to an anonymous, unidentified body part, seemed to peek into the anguished agony of a particular if unknown person. Bits of evidence scattered in other works in the series indicated that this martyred body was female. The suspicion that it could be the artist's own added another shock to that discovery. How could the artist bare her body, her pain in such a way? Was she trying to make us participate in the intimacy of illness? Why was she turning us into witnesses to the revolting imminence of death?
Bringing to the surface fragments of personal and family history—which were supposed to be held in the close custody of privacy and shame—was Ceballos's way to communicate something beyond the physical and psychological state of an individual. It was also a statement against the limitations of art, and an affirmation of individual freedom, the exploration of the forbidden, of the need to speak about vertigo from the very brink of the abyss. Her work opened a space that had not existed in the context of the so-called "new Cuban art," a perspective that enriches and universalizes it.
Ceballos is an artist focused on the rupture between the individual and his or her cultural context. She follows a lofty tradition that runs from Baudelaire to the Guatemalan Regina José Galindo—a lineage of artists determined to dig into the most equivocal, acerbic areas of human subjectivity. Ceballos, however, has extended this scrutiny beyond her own art, toward other areas of artistic activity or even those seemingly devoid of art, in search of new creators. Tirelessly fostering the emergence of art from the un-art, Ceballos seems to retaliate against the adversities of existence. It is for this reason that her intense, acerbic spirit does not bite its own tail, caught in an eternal, endless circle like a Möbius strip, but instead reaches out, fierce and unbound, in search of new battles and territories for art.

Police have charged a Calgary man with second-degree murder in the killing of an Alberta mixed martial artist last year.
Investigators took a man into custody on Wednesday and have since charged James Rajbhandari, 26, with killing Wyatt Benjamin Lewis, 37.
Police say shortly after 3 a.m. on Saturday Sept. 1, 2012, two people were stabbed in the 1000-block of 16 Ave N.W.
Lewis died from his injuries, while the other victim survived.
Rajbhandari is scheduled to appear in court Thursday morning.
Police have scheduled a press conference for Thursday morning to discuss the case.
Friends have said Lewis had stepped in trying to protect an unconscious friend when he was killed.
At the time of Lewis's death, police had not determined what sparked the argument.
Friends described Lewis as a mixed martial arts pioneer in Alberta, performing the sport long before it became mainstream.
"In the year 2000, it was almost unheard of that people were doing MMA, and Wyatt was one of the original crew doing this," said UFC fighter Nick (The Promise) Ring.
"Even though we lost touch over the years, I always considered him a close friend."

|Informing and Consulting Employees
Mr. Ivan Henderson: The hon. Lady mentioned her time as an MEP for North Essex. As one of her constituents, I remember that period well. Was she aware that during that time, my company voluntarily negotiated a European works council because it recognised the benefit of sharing information? That company was Swedish and had trade unionists on the board of directors.
Miss McIntosh: It was a privilege to represent the hon. Gentleman, and I remember the negotiations that he mentioned.
The hon. Gentleman's intervention made the point forcibly, and perhaps more eloquently than I did, that it is fine for a company to choose to enter into a voluntary negotiation. I applaud such agreements because they demonstrate good employment relations in this country. However, it would be regrettable for a company to be forced by law to meet the excessive costs because, as the Minister will accept, the Government will not be giving any handouts. Such costs could mean that the company might lose market share, suffer financial losses or even close.
Mr. Hesford: What is the difference between a voluntary agreement being negotiated within one company and the same agreement being imposed as a statutory minimum standard on others? The hon. Lady said that it is good practice to negotiate voluntarily. What would be the difference in the efficacy of business practice, if legislation imposed such negotiation?
Miss McIntosh: As the hon. Gentleman will appreciate, that is the fundamental andone hesitates to use the wordideological difference between the approaches of the Government and the official Opposition, and it is almost unique for two parties coming from two philosophical backgrounds to agree on such a motion. As was eloquently argued by my hon. Friend the Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, we fervently believe that we must just agree to differ.
I will revert to my story and to the moral that the Minister will have seen in it. In that example, regrettably it was the employer who listed her most prestigious clients and lost her business as a result. However, it would be more tragic, even if it were done inadvertently, if employees found themselves in that position.
Dr. Ladyman: Will the hon. Lady give way?
Miss McIntosh: No, I want to finish.
I am also concerned that the proposal will apply to countries in the European Economic Area and, as I understand, to applicant countries. We have not consulted our businesses directly, but can the Minister report whether discussions have taken place with EEA members and applicant countries on the proposal's implications? The proposal must greatly concern them.
I am alarmed by the pervasiveness of the social agenda in Europe. I am not just concerned about the present Swedish presidency of the EUSweden's social model succeeded, but in a country with a much smaller population than Britainbut about the more ambitious Belgian presidency to come, which wants to focus on work, social exclusion and retirement schemes. I congratulate the Minister on his approach and I hope that he will continue to resist such proposals, which are too prescriptive, inflexible and regulatory. I oppose the directive and support the motion before the Committee.
11.49 am
Mr. Darvill: I agree with the Government's point about subsidiarity. There is a clear need for each country to work through the proposals at its own level. However, I am somewhat disappointed by the general approach of the Government because there would be some advantage in setting minimum standards. My way forward would be to codify the broad raft of laws that already provide for employee disclosure.
The hon. Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton inferred from my questions that I supported a one-size-fits-all policy for companies. That is not the case because we need flexibility. I was trying to raise the question of cost. The Opposition's argument concerning the matter does not bear examination. The Government's position is that cost is not the crucial issue: what matters is the way in which each company moves towards a culture of greater employee disclosure.
Reform is needed. The argument that the law should not apply in this area implies that the laws that deal with redundancy, business transfers, health and safety, pensions and trainingall of which already impose legal and regulatory burdens on employerswould have to be revoked. I presume that the Opposition are not arguing for that. Indeed, I assume that some of those laws were passed by the Opposition when they were in government, and rightly so.
Considerable disclosure is already required of employers, and that obligation already imposes costs on them. That is my point on the cost angle: most of the employers who would be affected by the legislation already have to bear those cost burdens. The draft directive proposes to extend them to the area of disclosure. Although that would add some additional costs, the regulatory impact assessment does not deal with the detail, and its estimate is too high.
I speak from my experience as a former employee of the Port of London Authority and a trade union branch secretary. I worked for the PLA at a time when it was undergoing massive change: the closure of the docks, increased containerisation and the need to change restrictive practices. There was a great deal of industrial unrest and employee difficulties. More than 13,000 people, both white collar and manual workers, lost their jobs. It was a challenge for trade unionists, workers and employers to cope with the changes.
I worked for the PLA from 1963 through to the end of the period of change. During the early stages, industrial relations were generally poor, although there were isolated instances of good relations. There was a diverse range of employers, and the plans that were devised to meet the challenges were not adequately communicated to the employees. Much of the disruption and its negative economic effects on London and on the wider port and transport industry were due to that lack of disclosure. Workers and employers did not get together to discuss the future challenges, such as the impact that the changes in transportation would have on jobs and the ways in which restrictive trade practices might be altered to deal with modern conditions. Even if there had been minimal disclosure, that disruption would not have been nearly as bad as it was.
There were, undoubtedly, bad practices on both sides, but a more progressive approach would have produced benefits. Employers and employees woke up far too late, in the late 1960s and the early 1970s, and a consultative arrangement was put in place across the many sectors of industry. Management and trade unions, and employees who were not represented by trade unions, participated round the table. Information was provided and, in some cases, both sides got together to develop a way forward. I have seen both bad and good practice, and the benefits of the latter. Experience has always convinced me that we should move in that direction. We have not argued about that today, because the Opposition have said that they support best practice.
The problem is whether there is sufficient best practice throughout the UK, and what can be done to increase it. I welcome the Government's helpful initiative on partnership working and the fund that has been set up. However, there may be a need for a minimum standard, which is why some of my questions led in that direction. I would like to see such a standard set in this country, rather than a Europe-wide imposition. We could codify the existing laws of disclosure to provide for a standard best practice that could cope with the different conditions that apply to small and large businesses. For example, the costs that larger businesses can bear should not be imposed on very small businesses. That is a possible way forward, and we could make progress in that direction in the years to come.
Regulation is a theme that runs through many of our debates. The Opposition often refer to the increased financial burden imposed by the Government during the past four years. Much of it has stemmed from the introduction of the minimum wage and other employee benefits, and the Opposition seem to accept thosethey are, at least not arguing that the minimum wage legislation should be revoked. There has been some impact from regulation, but it is not as great as the Opposition claim.
If I understood her correctly, the hon. Member for Vale of York argued for additional regulations relating to pensions to benefit employees.
Miss McIntosh: I am arguing for a mechanism to require multinational companies to respect pensions. That could be done intergovernmentally. My husband works for an American company and could be asked to work in Germany. He might then face the problem that his pension could be claimed only in Germany.
Mr. Darvill: The hon. Lady's point is good, and the matter requires investigation. However, such a mechanism would require legislation, a regulatory framework or a directive, as does the protection of any proper interestthat is my point. Whatever party we speak for, we are seeking to improve things, and that often requires regulation.
When a Minister and I addressed a conference of business people in this Room, we received a rough ride about regulation, as one would expect. Strangely, however, while we were mingling with the guests after the meeting, the first business man who approached me said that he would like us to vary rate relief provisionprovide an exemption, in other wordsto benefit his company. Although he had just argued against regulations, the first thing that he wantedto protect his own interests, rightlywas more regulation.
I would like to have a more healthy debate about regulation. The question of cost must be balanced against the need for regulation to protect businesses, employees and consumers. We need to develop our laws to provide such protection.

NORWICH Agriculture producers in Chenango County had the opportunity to begin turning their business dreams into reality on Sept. 10 as Jeff Perry, NY FarmNet business planning specialist, taught the basics of putting together a business plan.
This session was the first in a series of workshops planned by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Broome and Chenango Counties to provide business guidance for beginning and diversifying agricultural producers.
Refuting the myth that business plans are tedious and hard to prepare, Perry explained the ins and outs of business planning and how a business plan can be a useful tool for a producer.
Drawing upon personal experience, Perry walked participants through the steps of how to begin compiling goals, how to figure important financial ratios, and other information necessary for the business plan. His candid view allowed the diverse group of producers to feel more at ease about designing a plan while helping them with the starting points of construction.

Senator probes WebMD on depression test
The senator wrote WebMD CEO Wayne Gattinella, requesting records pertaining to a TV ad, which encourages viewers to visit WebMD's website and take a depression screening test sponsored by Eli Lilly.In a statement, WebMD said: "We have responded to Senator Grassley's letter. We believe that the controls that WebMD has in place assure the editorial integrity of the information that we provide."
"I'm told we did receive a response from WebMD, and we're reviewing it," said Jill Gerber, the senator's press secretary. She declined to comment on the response.Grassley, the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, wrote in late February, "I am concerned about the independence between WebMD and industry since many people access WebMD seeing it as an independent, objective medical resource."
He asked for copies of all communications and contracts associated with the screening test's creation, and an explanation of WebMD's policies for top executives, directors and physicians to disclose outside income. Grassley requested any actual disclosures of outside income filed with the firm and an accounting of WebMD industry funding from pharma, device and insurance companies dating back two years.The WebMD screening test asks 10 questions designed to assess a patient's depression risk. A note mentions that Eli Lilly provided funding, and an online ad for Lilly's Cymbalta depression drug appears to the side.
Grassley "just wants to be sure that consumers are aware of who's funding and sponsoring these kinds of features," Gerber said. The letter continues a string of inquiries Grassley has made over the last three years regarding consulting and industry funding for CME.

SPARKS, Md., May 6, 2015 - McCormick & Company, Incorporated (NYSE: MKC), a global leader in flavor, today announced that Dunsin Fadojutimi of Eastern Technical School and Alcedo Hodge Jr. of Maritime Industries Academy are the 76th and 77th recipients of the Charles Perry McCormick Scholarship. Established in 1969, the scholarship currently has a four-year value of $40,000 for each student athlete.
The scholarship winners were chosen from a total of 118 candidates who were the Unsung Heroes from 73 Baltimore area public, private, parochial and independent schools. Fadojutimi and Hodge are both seniors, a requirement of the program.
Fadojutimi's self-driven nature is what made her a stand-out for the award. As the only player on her team who had never played basketball on an organized team before, what she lacked in previous experience she made up for with determination to be a contributing teammate. Also, by not living in an area served by a school bus, Fadojutimi relied on the MTA to get to school for practice, often getting home late at night but showing her commitment to the team nonetheless. Her coach, Kim O'Connor, said, "Dunsin is remarkably mature, poised and self-directed. She accepts responsibility and determinedly works to her goals." Fadojutimi plans to attend Lincoln University in the fall.
Hodge Jr. showed his versatility as a team player for his willingness to transition from playing middle linebacker to nose guard, putting him against opposing players that outweighed him substantially. His coach, Samuel Brown, said he excelled in that position as well as a team leader to younger players. "He builds up his team's self-esteem by encouraging the younger players to be their best. He strives unselfishly to be a leader and mentor to those who may not have developed the perseverance to become one of the top players on the field. From him, his teammates know quitting is not an option."
The late Charles Perry McCormick Sr. founded the McCormick Unsung Heroes program in 1940 to recognize athletes for unselfish team play and highlight the efforts of those who contribute to the success of their teams without acclaim. In 1969, the scholarship was added to the program in his honor.
The keynote remarks were given by Peyton Manning, quarterback for the Denver Broncos and the NFL's only five-time MVP and a 14-time Pro Bowl selection.
More than 700 Baltimore area officials, school administrators, coaches and family members attended the event on May 4th.
See the award winners share their thoughts with JR on the Sport Brief below.

/media release
HYDERABAD: The Chennai-headquartered Shriram Transport Finance Company, one of the largest truck financiers, has announced plans to increase its assets under management to Rs. 15,000-20,000 crore in the coming three to four years.
The company, the leading player in the non-banking finance company segment in truck financing with more than Rs. 9,000 crore under asset management, is planning to introduce several innovative products.
These include financing of reconditioned trucks, truck exchange programmes, tyre finance, working capital and engine replacement finance besides schemes such as free mobile phones and credit cards for truck owners and loyalty reward programmes.
Announcing this at a press conference here on Monday, group Chairman, R. Thyagarajan, and the company's Managing Director, R. Sridhar, said the company planned to expand its reach to every nook and corner of the country for offering small truck finance. Mr. Thyagarajan and Mr. Sridhar were here in connection with a direct contact programme with the customers involving film star Dharmendra who had been roped in as the brand ambassador. The company planned to organise similar events in Mumbai and Kolkata. They stressed the need for more and more financial institutions and banks to enter the segment, as "it is a safe and profitable venture." The perception that trucks were "moving assets" was keeping the interest rates in the segment at higher end, but the situation would change once banks and financial institutions entered the segment.

The generation coined "millennials" has finally taken over the world of business, says Douglas Battista. And while many traditionalists believe these tech-savvy-social-media-loving young adults walk around with a silver spoon in one hand and a trophy in the other, today's 20-somethings are more able and adaptable than they are given credit for.
Q: Who are the millennials?
Douglas Battista: Generally speaking, a millennial is an individual born between the mid-1980s and the mid-2000s.
Q: How are they different from other generations?
Douglas Battista: Millennials are the first generation to grow up with technology as we know it today. Even persons born in 1980 remember rotary phones and console TVs that were large enough to be a piece of furniture. This group is (for now) the most comfortable with technology and thinks very little about how iPhones and tablets changes the world. For them, having access to information 100% of the time is normal. Millennials also tend to believe in avoiding most face-to-face interactions, opting to put "pointless" meeting time to better use solving problems or simply getting things done.

"Walking together" meant walking away from project
The discovery of an Indian archaeological site where the state had hoped to build a dry dock turned into an expensive learning process for both the state and the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe.
Seattle Times staff reporter
PORT ANGELES — At least 27 centuries ago, the Klallam people began using some of the finest real estate in the aboriginal world: a flat, sunny beach with a deep harbor protected by a sand spit.
Those same attributes attracted the state Department of Transportation a few years ago when it scouted for a place to build a massive dry dock.
Only after starting construction did the agency discover what was buried under a century of industrial fill: remnants of Tse-whit-zen, the largest Indian village ever discovered in Washington.
And they found graves. So many graves that the department eventually walked away from the site last December after spending about $60 million on the project and digging up the intact remains of 335 souls.
How such a major village site and burial ground could have been missed in the review of the site is a question that still dogs the agency.
The Klallams' ancestral villages on the Port Angeles waterfront had been documented in the general area of the project by scholars, historians and journalists since the 19th century. The Lower Elwha tribe had for generations passed along knowledge of a settlement at Tse-whit-zen.
And when a mill was built next door to the site in 1920, a headline in the local paper read: "Squatters and Indian Bones Bother Builders."Yet when the transportation department geared up to dig a huge hole for the dry dock, it commissioned only a limited archaeological review and never questioned the finding that nothing was there.
It turned out to be one of the department's costliest mistakes ever.
It also turned out to be an unusual opportunity for reconciliation between the Lower Elwhas, first pushed off this land more than a century ago, and the state.
No sense of history
When Transportation Secretary Doug MacDonald walked the site for the first time at a groundbreaking ceremony in August 2003, he saw only empty industrial land, party tents and local officials celebrating the jobs that would soon come to this town.
Here, seemingly, was the ideal site. It was big enough for a dry dock to build pontoons and anchors needed to rebuild not only the east half of the Hood Canal Bridge, but eventually, the 520 bridge across Lake Washington. There were no endangered-species show-stoppers, and no NIMBY (not in my back yard) complaints.
"If anybody had said, 'Do you understand that you are going to spend the next year and a half of your life dealing with the implications and the contents of this site in relation to Native Americans?' you would have said, 'You've come to the wrong party. I don't see any Native Americans here. Are there Native Americans here in Port Angeles?'" MacDonald said.
"The collective amnesia is so profound that no one ever even asked the question."
Port Angeles officials say they, too, saw only opportunity at the site. "It was, 'You need a spot; we've got a flat one,'" said Larry Williams, a member of the Port Angeles City Council. "I had no sense of the real history."
Glenn Hartmann, the archaeologist hired by the state to examine the property, didn't go to the site himself but sent staff to dig test trenches in wet ground with state equipment that repeatedly broke.
Hartmann did file a report full of yellow lights: He warned that paving prevented examining some areas, especially where undisturbed sediments were likely to be encountered; and that auger samples might not have detected buried archaeological deposits. The department also later shifted the footprint of its project to include an area outside of the survey, where the thickest concentration of burials was ultimately discovered.
This spear point glows with color. Stone points were painstakingly chipped and ground to a point sharp to the touch, then used to hunt fish, seal, elk or deer.
Whenever she found stone points at Tse-whit-zen, tribal member Wendy Sampson thought about all the work her ancestors put into making them.
Hartmann also noted that an ancestral Indian village called Tse-whit-zen and burial ground were somewhere in the area, and that Indian bones had been found next door.
Still, Hartmann concluded that finding archaeological deposits or human remains was "unlikely." He fell back on the just-in-case recommendation of his trade: monitor the site during construction.
The transportation department and state Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation agreed that was good enough. The department announced its choice of the Port Angeles site even before receiving the report.
Not a single cultural-resources expert was on the interagency team reviewing the permits and construction sites for the Hood Canal Bridge project. Nor were they invited to the team's discussions.
By contrast, state and federal agencies thoroughly vetted environmental concerns. Every biologist in the transportation department worked on the project, checking for impacts on eelgrass, bald-eagle nests, salmon and more.
Elders not consulted
In November 2002, department managers singled out the Port Angeles site for its "predictability." Federal agencies had already done their review, and, finding no concerns, deemed an environmental-impact statement unnecessary.
"You might call it the perfect calm, rather than the perfect storm," MacDonald said. "No bells were going off at all."
The state sent its first letter about the project to the tribe in October, a month before choosing the site.
In February 2003, the tribe answered, agreeing with Hartmann's findings. But the tribe also warned that "proximity to known Klallam Village sites and traditional use areas argues strongly for caution." Unlike wealthier tribes, though, the Lower Elwha had no cultural-resources department and no archaeologist on staff to vet the state's proposal.
By then, the state had already purchased the property from the Port of Port Angeles. And no one — not state officials, the archaeologists they hired or the tribal council — consulted with tribal elders before work got under way.
If they had, Bea Charles, 86, and Adeline Smith, 87, might have told them of the burial ground there, knowledge they say was entrusted to them by the late tribal leader Sam Ulmer. "He told us about the cemetery in Tse-whit-zen, that it was there, and we were to remember it," Charles said.
Dennis Sullivan, tribal chairman at the time, said, "I didn't reach out to as many [of the elders] as I wanted to. This bothers me. It's been a very expensive learning process for us all."
State, tribe "walk together"
Work began in August. Within three weeks, workers pulling up concrete found bits of shell that are often evidence of previous settlements. The first human bones were dug up. Archaeological deposits were mistakenly trucked to the landfill.
MacDonald shut down the job Aug. 26, 2003. The tribe took its ancestral remains to a funeral home.
At the invitation of the tribe, MacDonald brought top project staff and even his mother to a sacred burning ceremony, where the spirits of the ancestors were fed full-course dinners, burned to ashes on cedar tables on the beach.
The project was on state land, so the tribe had no legal veto power over the project.
But MacDonald made it clear he wanted to "walk together" with the Lower Elwha to finish the project, as both sides often put it.
He offered a settlement agreement, not required by law, that included $3.4 million in return for the tribe's consent.
Six months went by as the tribe considered what to do, and the lobbying campaign by state, local and federal officials intensified. "It was, 'We can do this project with you or without you,'" said Frances Charles, current tribal chairwoman.
The tribe didn't want to seem the spoiler, and worried about backlash in the community. "And we were led to believe good things might happen. There was a lot of cooperative talk about a museum, and helping us find property for reburial," Sullivan said.
During a second site assessment, a human skull rolled out of the backhoe bucket, as workers digging in old utility trenches uncovered shattered human remains.
By now, everyone was certain more bones would be found. But they thought continuing the project would mean discovery of remains desecrated in past construction, and an opportunity to properly rebury them. They didn't expect to uproot a major burial ground.
The tribe signed the settlement agreement in March 2004.
"If I had known then what I know today, I'd never have agreed to it," Sullivan said. An intact skeleton was found within days. Then another, and another, all summer and into the fall. "We became very alarmed," Frances Charles said.
So did MacDonald: Instead of healing old wounds, the state was opening new ones.
The tribe asked that all burials be removed, in part so no ancestral remains would be left underneath the concrete floor of the dry dock. Stranding remains would split a community of spirits, tribal leaders said, and condemn the separated souls to search forever for the missing.
The state, already over budget and behind schedule, resisted.
By May, tribal leaders were asking for reconsideration of the project. By November, influential elders and spiritual advisers wanted it stopped.
"The ancestors here are so powerful: These old souls live," said tribal spiritual adviser Mary Anne Thomas of the Esquimalt Nation in Canada. "Let the cemetery remain a cemetery, because it is alive down at that site."
Thomas was hired, in part, to help tribal workers digging their ancestors out of the ground so construction could proceed. She wound up trying to explain to them why they felt a touch on their back or shoulder, why their tears would not stop, why they heard the sounds of wolves crying.
Some tribal members say they heard drums or saw the spirits of their ancestors, especially when they worked at the site at night, burning candles in respect and painting themselves with sacred red ochre for protection.
To save the project, the department tried just about everything: ground-penetrating radar. Calculating the pounds per square inch of pressure exerted by paving to assure the tribe that its ancestors wouldn't feel the concrete slab. Offering to search the ground with cadaver dogs. Obtaining a ruling from the federal government to limit the state's obligation to remove the graves.
"You thought you were going to lawyer this issue, then you thought you could engineer this issue," MacDonald said. "If you start building things in stupid little pieces, you get more stupid little pieces."
By December, work crews unearthed the 335th intact skeleton.
After 16 months of negotiations to keep the project going, the Lower Elwhas shifted course and asked the state to leave. MacDonald, with the backing of state and federal officials, agreed.
Reconciliation, once about agreeing to work together to complete the project, became about agreeing to leave it.

Before us?
The Cherokees.
The history we tell ourselves here is often boiled down to that simple narrative: before any white, Euro-American presence in this area, there were Cherokees. And lots of them.
Walk around town, and this narrative is reinforced. Ross's Landing and John Ross. The Passage art exhibit near the Tennessee Aquarium. The 175th anniversary of the Trail of Tears. Renewed interest in Moccasin Bend.
While this Cherokee-heavy history is true, it also isn't. Reducing our local history to such simple terms -- the Cherokees were here -- bypasses and ignores the complexity of our area's indigenous past. Doing so is not only inadequate, it is cultural looting: we take what we like and leave the rest.
This is not malicious or conscious even, and plenty of area historians are rich with accurate stories and facts. But unless there is an active effort to retell the pre-white story in even grander ways, we in the majority will often take the simplest road possible, content with easy explanations: before us, the Cherokees.
"The Cherokees were not the only ones removed," said Dr. Don Gala, a Muscogee Creek who was part of the Chattanooga Intertribal Association. "There were Creeks removed, Choctaw removed, Seminole Indians that they could catch were removed, Chickasaws were removed. The thing you always hear about was Cherokee people."
Gala remembers a moment in the late 1990s, when representatives and principal chiefs of Muscogee Creek and Cherokee governments came to Chattanooga to discuss the future of Moccasin Bend.
"The Cherokee principal chiefs and representatives deferred to the Muscogee Creek as to what to do with Moccasin Bend," he said.
"Those 900-plus graves out there are not of Cherokee but rather of Muscogee Creeks," Gala said.
Most of us have not heard that. Or, as Gala claimed, that more people died from the cruelty and sickness of government stockades than on the Trail of Tears itself. Or, he continued, that Yuchi Indians were once here.
Or that the land near Amnicola Highway's Boathouse restaurant used to be a burial mound.
"Citico Mound," said Dr. Nick Honerkamp. "That was a huge, big, flattop mound that was carted away as roadfill when they built the Dixie Highway."
Honerkamp, who directs the Institute of Archaeology at University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, said there were two theories on who was here and for how long. One model: the Cherokees as original people here.
"It goes all the way back as far as you want it to go. A single kind of continuity of Cherokee," he said.
The other?
"Creeks were here, early," he said.
Spanish conquistadors (did DeSoto sleep here?) plus disease plus warfare depopulate Muscogee Creeks, which were here before Cherokees. Honerkamp called it a perfect storm, this shock wave of sickness and violence and conquest that sent the Creeks elsewhere.
"One theory is that the Creeks consolidated and moved south and west into Alabama," he said.
Which left this beautiful, fertile land empty. Enter the Cherokees.
"There's Dragging Canoe [the great Cherokee chief] by 1776. There are 11 towns here," he said.
Honerkamp, unlike Gala, isn't so sure the graves at Moccasin Bend aren't Cherokee. Artifacts have been looted or destroyed and proving such ancestry is difficult, for multiple reasons. Still, Honerkamp enjoys the mystery behind such history.
"It enriches our understanding of Moccasin Bend as a complex place, not a static one," he said.
You want more complexity? Drive down Amnicola Highway; halfway between the Chattanooga Police Department and Chattanooga State, turn onto Lost Mound Drive.
There, among the barbed wire fencing and 18-wheeler exhaust, is one of the most precious places in the city: the Chickamauga Mound, perhaps 2,000 years old.
"It's the oldest art in Chattanooga, the oldest human structure of Chattanooga, built before the Muscogee," said Tom Kunesh, former state commissioner of Indian Affairs and member of the Chattanooga Intertribal Association.
Kunesh and friends have spent many days there, cleaning up the area, reclaiming the burial mound against cultural amnesia and reintroducing it into our city's collective memory.
To see the mound is a disorienting experience, like you're straddling two worlds and two times. This centuries-old burial ground -- its green grass and tall trees so still -- is surrounded by factories and fast food and highway noise. There, in the midst of today, is yesterday.
It's confusing and humbling and saddening and inspiring all at once, which is what history is as well, when we remember it correctly.

PLD40 is 2-wire loop powered LED indicator housed in a heavy duty aluminium alloy flameproof enclosure. The enclosure can be mounted on a 2 inch pipe and is certified flameproof for gas groups I, IIA, IIB & IIC with IP66 rating - virtually impregnable to dust and water. As it is loop-powered, PLD40 does not require its own power supply. The indicator measures a 4 - 20 mA analog current signal and displays the process value on a 4-digit LED display. PLD40's microcontroller technology linearizes the input for greater accuracy; the indicator is accurate to 0.1% of span. The indicator is software-calibrated and user-programmable to perform a linear or square root function on the process value. PLD40 also has a panel-mounted version without the protective enclosure and a flameproof enclosure certified for gas groups I, IIA, IIB and IIC with IP66 rating; completely dust proof and can withstand temporary flooding.

Taking Votes
A Local Elections Blog Post, by a new Labour Councillor could not go without comment.
As much as I don't want this blog to be a constant rebuke to things that other party members say, sometimes it is needed to raise the level of debate in these towns.
In it is said;
Despite the protestations by those on the left; if the Green Party or this TUSC band of lunatics, we would have been able to dent the Tory majority. This point is stressed every single time – if you split the left vote with fringe parties (and lets be frank they are not a realistic prospect of being in government, and even less so with no AV) then you open the field up to the right. Fact.
I'm not indifferent to the situation. I was inclined to only reply to this with a West Wing clip, which makes the point I would like to make marvelously, though you have to wait till the end of the clip.
However, I couldn't just leave it there, for one simple reason.
The blogger in question had used that at the end, and by the rules of intellectualism had won the point. The only thing they could have done to make a stronger point would have been to put "QED" at the end of the sentence. Now I don't fully understand this, but a housemate used it all the time at Uni, and he got his way a lot.
There are two points, firstly the admission that the voting system is unfair under FPTP (which favours a two party system) compared to what it would be under AV, or heaven forbid Proportional Representation
Secondly is the idea that the Green Party should stand aside for the Labour Party. This implies that the voters like sheep would automatically vote Labour which they wouldn't. Also I could not in good conscience support a local party which refuses to apologies, on any level, for the New Labour Government.
If I concede that good things happened under New Labour, will they concede that bad things did to? Or will the very attempt cause them to go into mental breakdown?
Thirdly, they should look at the large percentage of people who don't vote in Medway and ask themselves what they did to encourage/discourage higher turnout.
I am reminded of a ballot paper in the second By-Election where the voter had written no in every candidates box. Except Mine. Except for the Green Party.
How could I stand aside in my Ward for two Labour representatives, one who in his acceptance speech upon becoming Councillor stated regarding his Conservative opponent
we agree on a great many things
The other who argues loudly for cuts and defends Trident, despite it being illegal and unaffordable.
Labour members continue to assume they have a right to be the party of opposition, whilst siding with the Conservatives on issues and ignoring the growth of a party which now has an MP and successful councillors in Brighton and Norwich.
The Brighton Politics blogger, in his Post 'Labour is no closer than ever to understanding how to respond to the Greens' talks about how Labour have rejected a coalition with the Brighton Green Party.
There is no way that Labour will come anywhere near taking control next time. The next locals are likely to take place on the same day as the general election in 2015. Caroline Lucas will be re-elected with a thumping majority, with Labour coming in a distant third.
They go on to state that Labour have misled the public twice in recent Elections and that Brighton Labour activists are blinded to reality.
Labour's obsessive attacks on Caroline Lucas make the party look like bad losers, and many people are delighted that the City has produced the first Green MP.
Can we one day expect as has occured in other areas, a Labour campaign of;
Vote Green get Tories.
All I know for certain is that in the first By-Election I stood in
I beat the BNP
And they didn't stand in the second.
Come the next election, should the opportunity arise I will most likely stand again, and I will definitely support any member of the Green Party that stands also. As I can not support a party which assumes to much and concedes nothing. More importantly, I shouldn't force the people that voted for me or the Green Party to do it either. QED.
Voting for Keevil in the Dozens
(I would say that these posts wont be a series of West Wing clips, but I don't want to lie to you.)
Of course, it's egotistical to think that they are actually voting for me, they don't even know me.
Unless of course they do know me, but then if that was the case would they still vote for me…
There was a by-election in River Ward, how very exciting. A battle between Labour to retain the seat and Conservatives to win it. Also standing other than the Green Party was the Liberal Democrats, English Democrats and the British National Party.
And that's when something weird happened.
People started writing about me, people I'd never met on blogs of their own made assumptions about me and my chances, none of them brave enough to suggest that I would romp home with a big win.
A Labour activist, now Councillor, however chose for reasons I still don't understand to write what sensitively could be seen as an attack. Bearing in mind that the election also saw the BNP standing. Now admittedly the attack showed all the insight of a 5 minute search it was still curious.
Here is what he said about me;
The Green candidate, or better known by his twitter profile @onmejack is according to his profile a former 'Making Life Taste Better' Champion and failed Sitcom writer. He is now an 'FD Media Course Leader, Functional Skills lecturer' and enjoys bridge. He clearly needs to be instructed on basic political etiquette as one of his recent posts included 'Important to remember; Gingers are people to' and clearly has enough campaign time to enjoy a number of DVDs including True Blood – Series 1. This blogger would suggest that perhaps he should continue to immerse himself in other DVDs…
Okay so to review, its not like he said anything about my Mother. And I did indeed say those things in my profile. Though I don't play bridge. I am a Bridge! Yes I did indeed write the tweet about Gingers (hangs head in shame) and yes I do indeed watch a lot of DVDs. (Hides in the shadows such is the greatness of the shame)
Now here is what was said about the BNP candidate;
The BNP candidate is a martial arts enthusiast and formerly PPC for Gillingham and Rainham. According to his election interview, he has been a BNP member for 10 years and is the "voice of sanity." According to his interview, his first concern was with "putting the British people first." The 42 year old is a fan of cheese and marmite sandwiches, and in his spare time he likes to read and go on holidays.
Not a pop that he should stay in and eat sandwiches in sight. The outrage. Only i shouldn't stand.
Now I mentioned to the local Green Party, that this had happened. And had been advised to ignore it.
But no. I didn't want to ignore it. But I wasn't going to respond personally, there was nothing to be gained that way. So I posted the blog on my facebook and twitter feed and waited for the comments to happen. Which they did, what i wasn't fully expecting was the comments that would occur on his blog too;
This is an absolutely pathetic blog post, from the Labour supporter. Steven Keevil is a better choice than any of the other candidates, it shows the kind of politics that Labour rely on, when their supports resort to picking small pieces of text to discredit decent rival candidates.
Maybe a bit harsh.
Phil Dillion generously said
Tristan, I've been involved in educational, creative and community activities with the Greens' Steve Keevil and I think the bloke is a genuine inspiration. If he were standing for election in my ward I would vote for him. There's a groundswell of support for Steve because he's not a career politician, he's a community player, a great teacher and an unsung catalyst for good.
In addition, the emergence of a Green presence in Medway that is prepared to challenge Medway Council over its lack of public consultation (in a way that Labour frankly hasn't) is a welcome thing.
And a personal favourite from a student of mine who said
he's by far one of the most insightful and philosophical people I've ever met, who merely enjoys mocking life rather than moaning about it.
And I honestly didn't get them to say that… I liked that so much I actually use 'Prefers to mock life rather than moan about it' in my profiles now.
In the the grand scheme of things this actually changed very little except the post was edited to add that the blogger liked True Blood. Which I think essentially was the core of the issue.
In a later post this was written;
The ever affable Green Party campaigner Steven Keevil, who regularly tweets about his antics has certainly worked very hard and deserves to pick up a few votes. One to keep an eye on and potentially a PPC for a Medway seat in the future. At some point, this blogger owes Mr Keevil a pint, to show that despite the banter, it does hold the Greens and himself in high regard.
I confirm that he did buy me a beer, no harm done.
But it was a curious experience never the less.
And in case you were wondering I didn't win, or the by-election that happened straight after, which we shall talk about another time.
And then finally we had the recent local elections, in which people had the opportunity to vote Green, or vote for me, or vote for me as a Green. And curiously they did, tripling the number that had done so previously.
That pretty much brings us up to date, except for the things that I didn't mention that I need to go back and cover.
BBC Me
That's me that is there on the Tellybox, representing the Green Party which I had joined relatively recently. There I am eating food paid for by the licence payer and verbally sparing with the reporter that I should be supporting the Lib Dems as they have Green Policies.
He clearly hadn't been on Vote For Polices.
I would appear for the Greens a total 4 times, being interviewed twice.
A week later I went to my first election count an interesting event, joining other members of Medway Green party for the whole count. Getting there at 10pm, and staying until we heard that Caroline Lucas had won to become the first Green Party MP in England. An historical event, in no small part possible because I… tweeted her support.
We left the count and celebrated at a Party Member's house. I then left there, not having slept in 24 hours and a little drunk, to go on the BBC again.
The brief was simple, pretend that you would naturally be in the house, read the newspaper, eat the bacon roll, drink the orange juice and one the camera is on you speak about the success of Caroline Lucas. Simples. Did I mention the lack of sleep?
They would then go from me to interview the newly elected Conservative MP for Chatham and Aylesford. Then end of show.
We go live. Other people get interviewed. I get interviewed. It goes well. Mother would be proud.
They interview the MP. I eat my bacon roll.
They have 30 seconds left.
The MP states that as Labour had lost the election, Gordon Brown should resign, as the Conservatives had a mandate to govern.
They have 30 seconds left.
They come to me, live on air, eating a bacon roll, and ask me to respond.
I swallow the bacon roll, and state that since Conservatives didn't get a majority, then they dont have a mandate to govern.
And they cut back to the student. Relived the audience were exposed to my sharp political insights and not my half chewed bacon roll.
With the election over I can now return to my responsibilities as the Josh Lyman of local politics.
Except as a consequence of the General Election, is a Local By-Election. In River Ward. Where I Live.
Where I would now be standing as a Green Party candidate.
The Only Wasted Vote Is An Unused One
May 5th 2011 I will be standing in local Elections for the Green Party for the third time…
How did this happen?
After discovering that I was… a Green. I emailed them and asked them essentially the age old question
'In an area where the battle is between Labour and Conservative, isn't a vote for the Green Party wasted?'
My email was passed from the Kent Green Party, to the my Local Medway Green Party where I was contacted by PCC Dave Arthur. Whilst I don't remember exactly what Dave said, he spoke openly and honestly about the fact that at some point you have to Vote for what you believe in, not out of fear or against what you don't.
For the first time in my life I joined a Political Party and then I even went to a meeting, where I told myself I would sit quietly and listen. Which I achieved for a good ten minutes.
This was a good fortnight before the General Election and suddenly imagined myself in some Local Politics version of the West Wing where I would get to be a blend of Josh Lyman and Toby Ziegler. I was more interested in being in the background.
Two things stood against that, my foot and my mouth.
'You have to stop talking about the Environment'
I said it, it was out there. What had interested me about joining the Greens, was what politically interested me. I agreed with them on Social Justice and Education. Well technically I agree with them across the board, but specifically on Social Justice and Education. Its easy to believe, falsely, that the Green Party are a single issue party. And I felt, rightly or wrongly can be discussed in other posts, that the issue of the Environment was one that the Greens could only lose on.
Now my friends in the party have explained that the Environment is the single biggest issue of our time, and I genuinely tried to focus long enough to listen to their opinions. And they are right. People do care about the Environment, but they care about other issues more. They vote on other issues more.
This incidentally was a point I raised when I met a lady once, everything had been going well, until she explained that I was what was wrong with the Green party, as I was taking them away from their central purpose. And what could have been a beautiful relationship died, no matter how I backtracked.
Though it should be clear the members of the Medway Green Party are in no way single issue, involved as they are in many campaigns through the Medway Towns.
If you are a candidate for the Green Party people expect you to know Environmental issues, and on that topic the best you can hope is to meet expectations, otherwise you might embarrass yourself, by not having knowledge you never claimed to have. That was, is, my feelings, concerns on the topic. It is something that we will come back to…
Where was I?
Oh that's right as a reward for my outspoken but generally good humoured nature I was less then two weeks after joining the party about to go on BBC South East and represent them…
Be sure to Vote.
Vote For Policies
Before the 2010 General Election I went to the website Vote For Policies curious, but fully expecting to be supported in my political choices. (Should you go, have gone on the site, leave me a comment, let me know how your results came out)
How the website works is that as the title suggests you get to vote for the policies of the six main parties running, based on their manifesto, but without knowing what party it was, and not voting on personality, despite how much at the time 'we agreed with Nick'
Upto this point I had voted Liberal Democrat, and I fully expected the website to confirm this was the right decision. I was shocked when I came out 0% Liberal Democrat. The website told me I was;
I was so shocked I took the test again, changing a couple of the answers I had been unsure about and answering a couple of questions I had missed before.
The result was an even stronger Green Party result…

Bob Jaczko and Peter Wilson had a memorable business trip in Sedona, Ariz., recently.
Having a 150-pound boulder crash through a rental car windshield has that effect.
The two Massachusetts businessmen were in Sedona for a trade show and decided to do some sightseeing at Oak Creek Canyon when the massive rock came down on their rental SUV, KIAH-TV reported.
"There was a sign back a mile that said look out for rocks. But we did not expect that a falling 150-pound boulder would come out of the cliff, and actually fall directly on us," Wilson, 45, who was driving, told the station.
When the boulder smashed the windshield, it not only broke the glass, but caused the car to suddenly stop, according to Jaczko, 74.
"It crashed into the shift gears and threw the car in park cause all of a sudden…the car stopped," he told WHDH-TV. "We looked and we were covered in glass. The glass had turned to like -- sprinkles on an ice cream cone. We were covered in it."
Wilson managed to free Jaczko, who told the station that the rock was "kind of like a vegetable peeler. Just took all the skin off the side of my arm," he said.
When Jaczko realized neither he nor Wilson were seriously injured, he grabbed a camera from the car to take photographs.
"It's funny how your mind works," he told the Boston Globe. "I guess I must've been in shock."
Two nurses just happened to be driving behind them and provided assistance until an ambulance arrived. One of them even used her baby's diaper bag to clean Jaczko's cuts and stop the bleeding.
Once at the hospital, both men were treated before officials there sprung for a limo to drive them back to Phoenix for the trade show.
Amazingly, the accident seemed to help sales, according to WBZ-TV.
"We were the talk of the trade show!" Jaczko told the station. "We had a very crowded booth which was good for publicity. But I think I'll do something different next time!"

Obestrim Review
Quality fat burners and weight loss supplements can help you lose more weight than dieting and exercise alone. With an all-natural dieting pill such as Obestrim, supposedly you can reach your weight loss goals without having to sacrifice your favorite foods.
Obestrim is supposedly a revolutionary new weight loss supplement that can help boost your metabolism, increase your energy levels, and curb your appetite without the need for a doctor's prescription. With time-tested and clinically proven ingredients such as green tea in its arsenal of fat burners, Obestrim claims to help you shed those stubborn pounds by tricking your brain into feeling fuller for longer periods of time.
With all the other weight loss supplements clamoring for attention, we decided to take a closer look to see if Obestrim deserved its time in the spotlight or it was merely another placebo masquerading as a dieting pill.
Pros of Obestrim
• 30 Day Money-Back Guarantee
• Free Trial Offer
• Discounts available through store's website
• Clinically Proven Ingredients
• Can increase energy levels
• Can help burn more calories
Cons of Obestrim
• Ingredients listed as a proprietary blend
• May cause side effects such as insomnia, headaches, and nervousness
• Questionable effectiveness
• Too few customer reviews
What You Should Know About Obestrim?
Proprietary blends are questionable at best, casting a shadow of doubt about a product's abilities to help consumers reach their weight loss goals. In order to help consumers lose more weight, many ingredients have be used in specific concentrations in order to be effective.
If a product uses too little of an ingredient, it won't make stimulate weight loss. If a product uses too much, it may cause harmful side effects such as headaches, nervous, insomnia, and even worse. By not listing the concentrations of ingredients, Obestrim is hiding important information from the consumer.
Is It Right For Me?
Despite Obestrim's claims to help you lose weight without sacrificing your favorite foods, there is no miracle solution for a poor diet and inconsistent exercise. This product has the potential to help boost your metabolism and increase your caloric expenditure, but without knowing the exact concentrations of ingredients inside Obestrim, we cannot be for certain whether or not this product will work for the average consumer.
Additionally, many of the ingredients inside Obestrim have been known to cause negative side effects, making this product a risky venture when we're not entirely certain whether or not Obestrim can even produce results. Be sure to read the fine print before trying its free trial offer because you may get roped into an expensive and potentially ineffective purchase.
Don't forget to check out our diet supplements that work.
