To Serve Man



That card I have from that homeless shelter is dated 6/11/2005. I can still recall walking upstairs there to check in and the woman took a photo of me and gave me that card. That is the place I have compared before to that "burning Polaroid" scene with "Kyle Reese" in the 1984 "The Terminator."

So I must have gone to the Redmond police on 6/11/2005.

If I remember this correctly the Redmond police in the Seattle suburbs of King County Washington State sent me to Harbor View hospital in Seattle. I can vaguely recall speaking to a nurse there in the emergency room. They sent me to the Bellevue hospital Overlake.

I might have that backwards. The Redmond police might have sent me by ambulance to Overlake and then they sent me to Harbor View and that makes more sense because Harbor View is inside the city of Seattle.

I feel certain I spoke to a Red Cross social worker while I was in the admitting area or the discharge area of Harbor View while in the city of Seattle and that woman is the one who got me into the Downtown Emergency Services Center and that is the entry pass card I still have and that is date stamped 6/11/2005.

From there I can recall stumbling around outside and I sat in a city park, the maps labels it Freeway Park, reading a book and munching on a bag of dry Froot Loops cereal another social worker had given me which I think was the day before I went to the Redmond police department.

So I am thinking now that I was waiting at that DESC building for more than one day because they set up an appointment for me to talk to someone at a Seattle hospital. I couldn't recall the name of that hospital as I started of to write here but I looked at the map and the location I remember walking to and I guess that was the Swedish Medical Center. I can recall going to a specific building and looking at the map I don't recall enough to find it again although I might find it because I can still vaguely visual details about the exterior surroundings.

I can recall walking there. Somehow I must, I guess, have had access to a computer and looked it up on a map. Uncertainty lingers in my whether that was in June 2005 I went to the Swedish Medical Center hospital in First Hill but I want to think that was the timeframe and not later after I was in the Compass Center on Washington Street next to the viaduct.

Yeah, I think that much have been June 2005 I was at the Swedish Medical Center hospital because I can vaguely recall the woman I was talking to had an ambulance come get me and I am thinking they took me to University of Washington Medical Center.

Tom Clancy

AMERICAN AUTHOR

Tom Clancy, in full Thomas Leo Clancy, Jr. (born April 12, 1947, Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.—died October 1, 2013, Baltimore), American novelist who created the techno-thriller—a suspenseful novel that relies on extensive knowledge of military technology and espionage.

Clancy attended Loyola University in Baltimore (B.A. in English, 1969) and then worked as an insurance agent. His first novel was the surprise Cold War best seller The Hunt for Red October (1984; film 1990), which introduced his popular protagonist, CIA agent Jack Ryan, who was featured in a number of his later books. Red Storm Rising (1986), Patriot Games (1987; film 1992), Clear and Present Danger (1989; film 1994), The Sum of All Fears (1991; film 2002), Rainbow Six (1998), The Bear and the Dragon (2000), The Teeth of the Tiger (2003), Dead or Alive (2010), and Command Authority (2013) are subsequent novels.

Tom Clancy: An appreciation

October 02, 2013 By Hector Tobar

Tom Clancy, who died Tuesday at age 66, was an author who created imaginary stories from the raw material of a real world in conflict. His audience seemed to grow exponentially as he conquered one media platform after another.

In his 1984 debut, "The Hunt for Red October," he proved himself a master of the late Cold War espionage novel, with assorted Russian generals and commissars as his foils. But his fictional creations also took life in movies, television programs and even in a series of video games to which he lent his name.

Today, millions of young people who've never read his novels, and who weren't alive when the Soviet Union existed, storm Russian (and Mexican and Kazakh) cities in the virtual worlds of video games that bear Clancy's name. In recent years, the value of his film, book and game empire surpassed $100 million.

In his novels, Clancy gave his readers the old-fashioned escapism of richly detailed worlds where simple moral dramas play out to unambiguous endings -- and where compassionate but tough American men use their courage and smarts to defeat evil empires and cruel warlords.Clancy came to the book world in midlife, after years as an insurance broker and military history buff. And his "military fiction," as it came to be known, helped create an American archetype: the savvy spy or warrior who parachutes in to sort out the mess created by assorted criminals, dictators and bureaucrats.

"The Hunt for Red October" opens with a sympathetic portrait of a Soviet naval officer (played by Sean Connery in the movie) that's colored with rich specificity: from the "five layers of wool and oilskin" the officer wears at an Arctic submarine base, to his "half Lithuanian" heritage and his father's past in "the Great Patriotic War," as World War II is known to Russians, with Clancy filling in the father's military back story with much accurate historical detail.

On screen, heartthrobs like Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford gave Clancy's hero, Jack Ryan, a sex appeal and emotionality he lacked on the page -- the result was several nine-figure Hollywood blockbusters.

Clancy's books appealed "to the most boy part of you," as the novelist Bob Shacochis wrote in a review of "Sum of All Fears" for The Times in 1991. Video game versions of those boy-friendly worlds were, perhaps, inevitable.

In the "Ghost Recon" game, released in 2001 and an early hit of the then-new Xbox and Playstation platforms, one could enter fantasy worlds where the details were constructed with screen pixels. Players walked through the rubble of cities in the Caucuses and assumed the roles of U.S. special-ops troops fighting a Russian nationalist army. The game spawned many sequels.

"Colonel, the United States of America once again emerged the victor in a great worldwide conflict," Scott Mitchell, the hero of many "Ghost Recon" game, intones in the sequel, "End War." "History won't soon forget what we've accomplished together..."

PHOTOS: Tom Clancy: A life of bestsellers

Clancy more than likely did not write that stilted dialogue. The best of his 18 novels were lively, original and unfailingly realistic. The late David Foster Wallace was a fan: He reportedly admired the novels for their ability to pack in facts.

In recent years, Clancy kept the literary department of his brand going by relying on "collaborators." The 2010 "Dead or Alive" credited Grant Blackwood, a veteran of similar collaborations with Clive Cussler, to tell the story of American operatives hunting down an Osama bin Laden-like terrorist.

In his review of "Dead or Alive" in The Times, Tim Rutten wrote that Clancy "has a tendency to both pander to popular fantasy (in this case, revenge) and, simultaneously, to play against it with hard-headed insights into the real world of military and intelligence operations. It's a fruitful tension that lends his books a quirky, appealing unpredictability that sometimes can survive even the author's eye-rolling politics."

Clancy was an outspoken conservative. Days after the 9/11 attacks, he said "the political left" was to blame, because it had "gutted" American intelligence agencies. But Clancy's appeal was, for the most part, bipartisan. Boys and men of all ages, especially, enjoyed the pleasure of losing themselves in the worlds he first built with mere words.

Tom Clancy dies at 66; insurance agent found his calling in spy thrillers

Tom Clancy was a master of the techno-thriller who wrote 17 bestsellers with 100 million copies in print. He launched his career with 'The Hunt for Red October.'

October 02, 2013 By Elaine Woo

In 1980, Tom Clancy was making a decent living as an insurance agent. But underwriting fire, casualty and car policies wasn't the stuff of his dreams.

In his spare time he began to plot a novel — about an ex-Marine who worked for the CIA and a Soviet submarine commander who wanted to defect.

What happened next was the beginning of an American success story that far exceeded his expectations.

"I just wanted to be in the Library of Congress catalog," Clancy once said. But his debut novel, "The Hunt for Red October," launched one of the most lucrative publishing franchises in history and turned its author into a household name.

Gripping and loaded with an extraordinary degree of realistic detail about secret military technology, "The Hunt for Red October" was published in 1984 to rave reviews, including one from President Reagan declaring it "the perfect yarn."

It soared to the top of bestseller lists, inspired a blockbuster 1990 movie starring Alec Baldwin as CIA analyst Jack Ryan and Sean Connery as the defector, and catapulted Clancy into the enviable ranks of novelists with popular appeal and Hollywood draw.

Clancy, 66, a master of the techno-thriller who wrote 17 bestsellers with 100 million copies in print, died Tuesday at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore after a short illness, said his lawyer, J.W. Thompson Webb.

"I think Tom was really the first major writer in the genre to make realism the top priority," said Ben Affleck, who played Jack Ryan in 2002's "The Sum of All Fears," the fourth Clancy novel to be turned into a movie. "When you read one of his books, you had the distinct feeling that he was depicting military or espionage situations exactly as they really are. He hews to his research religiously, and the result is an indisputable sense of authenticity.... I think the movie adaptations have risen and fallen in direct proportion to how well they kept his sense of authenticity and nuts-and-bolts realism."

Members of the military, who formed the core of Clancy's early fans, attested to his technical prowess in describing such things as submarine warfare and mobile anti-aircraft guns.

"Clancy was one of one" said James Huston, a former Navy F-14 aviator and author of eight novels on military themes. "He was amazingly detailed and accurate. I was still on active duty when he was writing and found, like many others, that the closer you are to what he is writing about — in my case F-14s — the more you can discern his experience was secondhand yet was still shockingly impressive."

Clancy's sophisticated accounts of military gizmos and espionage were so convincing that some officers at the U.S. Naval Institute in Annapolis, Md., feared a security breach.

Retired Marine Maj. Gen. Bob Butcher, a decorated aviator from the Vietnam War who is board chairman of the Flying Leatherneck Historical Foundation in San Diego, recalled talking to submarine officers soon after "The Hunt for Red October" was published.

"They all had great respect for Clancy and his ability to find information that was not easily discoverable," Butcher said. "All his information was open-source but not easy to find. He put it together, piece by piece. The submariners were amazed at his ability."

After the novel was published, the U.S. Naval Institute, which allowed Clancy access for research and wound up becoming his first publisher, changed its rules to put certain information off-limits, Butcher said.

Clancy had detractors. Some focused on his tendency to create wooden characters. Others criticized the conservative political views espoused in his novels. In Clancy's world, the heroes are straitlaced patriots, might is always right, and military missions always go off as planned.

Scott Shuger, a former naval intelligence officer and journalist, wrote scathingly of Clancy in Washington Monthly magazine in 1990 for unrealistic depictions of the U.S. military as "a precise instrument, capable of almost effortless accuracy" and questioned the expertise of "an ex-insurance agent who never served a day on active duty."

Such criticism rankled Clancy, who never tried to hide his political stripes.

"The U.S. military is us," he once said. "There is no truer representation of a country than the people that it sends into the field to fight for it."

Thomas L. Clancy Jr. was born in Baltimore on April 12, 1947. His father was a letter carrier and his mother worked in a store's credit department. He went to Catholic schools and loved gadgets and reading military history that stoked dreams of being a tank commander.

At Loyola College in Baltimore he joined the ROTC but was barred from serving in Vietnam because of his extreme nearsightedness. After graduating in 1969 with a degree in English he married Wanda Thomas, a nursing student who became an eye surgeon, and entered the insurance business.

Tom Clancy dies at 66; insurance agent found his calling in spy thrillers

Tom Clancy was a master of the techno-thriller who wrote 17 bestsellers with 100 million copies in print. He launched his career with 'The Hunt for Red October.'

October 02, 2013 By Elaine Woo

In 1973 he joined O.F. Bowen Agency, a small Maryland insurance company founded by his wife's grandfather. He did well enough to buy the firm in 1980. By then he and his wife had a family and a comfortable middle-class life. But for Clancy it wasn't enough.

At the back of his mind was a newspaper story he had read in 1976 about the crew of a Russian frigate that wanted to defect to Sweden. He changed the frigate to a submarine and read everything he could find on the subject. He mined friends and clients who belonged to the Navy for stories about their military duties and especially about life on a sub.

He started ending his work day early to write. Soon the novel was consuming his weekends, too. "My wife gave me hell," Clancy recalled in the New York Times in 1988. She wanted him to go back to selling insurance.

When he heard the Naval Institute Press wanted to start publishing fiction, he submitted his manuscript. The editors loved it and paid him a $5,000 advance. Copies of the book were sent to Washington officials and area bookstores; the Washington Post called "The Hunt for Red October" "breathlessly exciting." It quickly sold 300,000 copies, sending Clancy on his way to becoming his own cottage industry.

With a multi-book, $3-million contract with G.P. Putnam's Sons, he produced a rapid succession of hits, including "Red Storm Rising" (1986), "Patriot Games" (1987), "The Cardinal of the Kremlin" (1988), "Clear and Present Danger" (1989) and "The Sum of All Fears" (1991).

He wrote of terrorist plots against British royals, the arms race and high-tech defense systems, and Colombian drug lords' threat to national security. Many of his books featured the stalwart Jack Ryan, whom Clancy described as "a new, improved version of me."

Joseph Wambaugh, the Marine Corps veteran who became a best-selling author, told The Times on Wednesday that he knew Clancy would succeed after reading an early review copy of "Red October" in 1984. "He was remarkable with the thriller; he was a natural-born storyteller. I knew this book was going to get the guy out of the insurance business."

Clancy later branched out into military nonfiction, with titles such as "Armored Cav: A Guided Tour of an Armored Cavalry Regiment" (1994).

In 1994, the Wall Street Journal reported that he had received a record-breaking $13-million advance for "Without Remorse," another thriller featuring Jack Ryan. He started a video game company and bought a share of the Baltimore Orioles baseball team.

His fortune enabled him to build a stone mansion overlooking Chesapeake Bay with two dozen rooms, an indoor pool, underground gun range and an unusual birthday gift from his wife: an M1A1 Abrams tank, which he proudly displayed on the front lawn.

U.S. Naval Aircraft Marking

Aircraft of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps have carried distinguishing markings almost from the beginning of naval aviation. The earliest being the aircraft building number, preceded by a block letter A, painted on a vertical surface, usually the rudder. Before the United States entered into World War I, naval aircraft were identified by an anchor design on the vertical tail surface, the use of which continued to the time a National Aircraft Insignia was adopted.

A National Aircraft Insignia consisting of a red disk within a five-pointed white star on a circular blue field, and red, white and blue vertical stripes on the rudder, of the shades specified for the American flag, was adopted.
One of these star designs was to be placed near each wing tip on the upper surface of the top wing and lower surface of the bottom wings. The blue stripe on the rudder was nearest the rudder hinge. This design was ordered to be placed on all U.S. naval aircraft on May 19, 1917. To avoid confusion with enemy markings and to conform more closely with designs used by our allies after our entry into the war, the star design was replaced early in 1918 with concentric circles of red and blue around a white center. The order of the rudder stripes was reversed placing the red forward nearest the rudder hinge. This design was required on all U.S. aircraft operating in Europe.

April 1, 1948: The Origin of Chemical Elements

On April 1, 1948 a paper was published in the Physical Review by Alpher, Bethe, and Gamow, entitled “The Origin of Chemical Elements.” The authors’ names were a bit of a joke (Hans Bethe hadn’t really contributed to the work), but the paper contains a significant scientific discovery. Ralph Alpher and George Gamow explained how the extreme conditions shortly after the big bang could explain the observed abundances of the most common elements in the universe.

Physicist George Gamow was born in Odessa (now in Ukraine), in 1904. He grew dissatisfied with the Soviet Union, and after one failed attempt, he fled and immigrated to the United States in 1934. He took a position at George Washington University in Washington, DC.

In the early 1940s, Gamow was working on explaining the observed abundances of elements. It had already been shown that in the cores of stars, hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium. But this process happens too slowly to account for the observed abundance of helium in the universe (about 1 atom of helium for every 10 atoms of hydrogen) and it didn’t account for the existence of elements much heavier than helium. Gamow wondered if the conditions of the very early universe could have produced the observed helium and other elements.

The research needed knowledge of nuclear physics, but most nuclear physicists in the US at the time had been recruited to the Manhattan project, so Gamow was essentially alone in working on the problem of nucleosynthesis.

He started making calculations, beginning by looking at the density of matter in the universe and essentially running the expansion of the universe backwards to get an estimate of what the early universe might have looked like. He then began trying to figure out the probabilities of nuclear reactions in early universe. As the universe expands, conditions constantly change, so the calculations were complicated. Not particularly adept at mathematical calculations himself, Gamow recruited PhD student Ralph Alpher to help.

They started by imagining the early stage of the universe as an extremely hot dense gas of neutrons, (which they called “ylem,” after a medieval word for matter). As the universe expanded, the hot compressed neutrons would decay into a mixture of protons and electrons and neutrinos. Then the protons would capture some of the remaining neutrons to form deuterium. Further neutron capture would build up heavier and heavier atomic nuclei. The process would continue as the universe expanded until it was too cool for further reactions to take place.

Alpher’s calculations of nuclear processes used some of the first electronic digital computers, which had been developed during World War II. He was also able to use new data on nuclear reaction cross sections that had become available after the war ended.

The calculations agreed with the known abundance of helium. Pleased with their result, Alpher and Gamow submitted a brief communication to the Physical Review, titled “The Origin of Chemical Elements.” They celebrated with a bottle of liqueur, which Gamow relabeled “ylem.”

Gamow, who was known for his sense of humor, saw that the paper they had submitted to Phys. Rev. was to appear on April 1, 1948. He added the name of his friend Hans Bethe, who was known for work on nuclear reactions in stars, among other things, to the paper, so the authors would be Alpher, Bethe, and Gamow, a pun on the first three letters of the Greek alphabet.

Alpher, as a PhD student struggling to make a name for himself, objected to the addition, fearing that the name of the famous Bethe would overshadow his own, reducing the credit he received for his crucial contribution to an important piece of research. But Gamow published it with Bethe’s name, despite Alpher’s objections.

The paper, still known as the alpha-beta-gamma paper, not only explained the origin of the most abundant elements in the universe, but also provided the first support for the big bang model since Hubble’s discovery in 1929 that distant galaxies are redshifted in proportion to their distance from us.

It later became clear that most elements actually cannot be produced by the successive neutron capture process Alpher and Gamow originally proposed because there is no stable nucleus with 5 nucleons. Another process was needed to bridge the gap to create heavier elements. The Alpher-Bethe-Gamow theory does, however, correctly explain the abundances of hydrogen and helium, which together account for more than 99 percent of the baryonic matter in the universe.

Following the publication, Alpher still had to complete his PhD. Scientists and the press heard about the Alpher-Bethe-Gamow result, and 300 people crowded in to hear Alpher’s thesis defense at George Washington University in the spring of 1948. The Washington Post, hearing Alpher’s statement that the creation of hydrogen and helium in the hot big bang took just 300 seconds, boldly reported that the “World Began in Five Minutes.”

Alpher was awarded his PhD, but his 15 minutes of fame soon ended. After finishing his PhD, he and Robert Herman (who resisted Gamow’s efforts to get him to change his name to Delter) continued work on the early universe. That research led them to predict the cosmic microwave background, but their prediction was ignored, and they were not given credit when the CMB was discovered in 1964. Alpher later became a researcher at General Electric. Gamow went on to study other topics as well, dabbling in the chemistry of DNA. Alpher died in 2007, shortly after receiving the National Medal of Science.

Attack, robbery near Freeway Park; 2 suspects arrested

By Scott Sunde on October 19, 2009 at 7:43 AM

Police arrested two men early Monday morning for robbing and attacking a man near Freeway Park.

They may have committed a similar attack earlier.

About 3 a.m. a man was walking near Hubbell Place and Union Street, where the three men attacked him. He may have been hit in the head and knocked unconscious.

A witness saw one suspect kicking the victim in the head.
