Pentagon map

The Pentagon

The Pentagon - a building, institution, and symbol - was conceived at the request of Brigadier General Brehon B. Sommervell, Chief of the Construction Division of the Office of the Quartermaster General, on a weekend in mid-July 1941. The purpose was to provide a temporary solution to the War Department's critical shortage of space.The ground breaking ceremony took place on September 11, 1941. The building was dedicated on January 15, 1943, nearly 16 months to the day after the ground breaking.

Lighting a candle for a satellite photo

The following is a nice idea if it gets people out 
together to share their emotions, to meet their neighbors, 
and so forth. However, all other aspects of it are nonsense.

FACTS:

1. Candles are trivial as far as a source of light.  The light 
from your street lights, house lights, advertising signs, and so 
forth are thousands of times brighter than it could possibly be, 
even if we all went outside with a candle and a big flashlight.

2. The times given are before sunset in the Pacific time zone and 
in parts of the mountain time zone.

3. Pictures of the lights of the whole USA are already widely
available on the net.

4. Such pictures are not made from one single photograph, but are
composites of multiple photos put together.

5. This is the third day that I've received this same email request,
and have yet to see anything on the news about it.

6. There is no indication what it means to say "the U.S. has asked".
Who is "the U.S.", some unknown government agency that would certainly
have had a news conference covered by the media?

7. Check out a satellite photo showing the lights of the world at:

FBI

The Internet Fraud Complaint Center recently received several 
complaints that someone is using the letters, "FBI" or "fbi.gov" 
in an e-mail address in order to make it seem that the message 
is coming from an FBI employee. In several cases, the message 
said, "Your application is approved. Please fill out this form 
to confirm your identity" and solicited the person's name, 
address, credit card number and expiration date. 

The FBI does NOT e-mail people soliciting information from them. 
The FBI does NOT request such personal information from people 
via the internet. 

You should always safeguard your credit card numbers and other 
personal data.

Tribute to America

I received the e-mail titled "The United States" or "Tribute to 
America" more than once today.  Curiosity led me to do a little 
research and here's what I found out.

The editorial piece was written and read on June 5, 1973 -- "The 
Americans" - by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian journalist.

There are references to the Gordon Sinclair piece in magazines and
newspapers in late 1973 and early 1974.  Apparently the editorial 
was put to music in at least two different versions (Mr. Sinclair's 
own reading to The Battle Hymn of the Republic and another version 
to America the Beautiful). They hit the bestselling charts and both 
donated the royalties to the American Red Cross.  Newsweek reported 
it was the NO. 1 seller in Atlanta.

The NY Times reported (January 13, 1974) that Mr. Sinclair (at age 
73) was watching TV of flooding in the Mississippi River valley and 
"was impressed that the American farmers whose crops had been ruined 
'weren't whining about it.'"  So he wrote the editorial.

US News & World Report printed segments of the editorial on the last 
page of the Nov. 19, 1973 issue.

Russell Baker wrote a lengthy editorial of his own on the piece and 
the record's success in the Jan. 8, 1974 issue of the NY Times.

So that's more of the story.  It's nearly 30 years old!!

Conspiracies

I make no claims as to the validity of any statements in this section. Individuals have sent me these links and in the interest of full coverage I post them here.

North Atlantic Treaty; April 4, 1949

ARTICLE 5

The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all, and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self defence recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually, and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.

Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.
