Seoul mayor candidates face off in televised debate

The two candidates contending for the Seoul mayoral post in the June elections faced off in a televised debate Monday, with both pledging to make the metropolitan city a safer place in the wake of last month’s Sewol disaster.

Ruling Saenuri Party lawmaker Rep. Chung Mong-joon and Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon disagreed on how accident-free the nation’s capital had become under Park during their two-hour war of words.

Chung accused Park of not providing enough city funds for safety and ignoring the Seoul subway’s air quality problem, while Park said he had poured millions of won into resolving safety concerns.

“I understand there have been accidents during my term,” the mayor said, acknowledging his responsibility in the subway accident in Seoul’s subway Line No. 2 earlier this month. “But during my term, you will notice that the number of accidents has decreased.”

Municipal funds devoted to safety exceeded 890 billion won ($870 million) in 2014, and there were plans to commit an additional 500 billion won annually during the next four years if he were elected, Park said in response to Chung’s accusation of earmarking an insufficient safety budget.

Chung stepped up his accusations that Park had ordered subway officials to turn on ventilators for longer than usual to manipulate air-quality statistics, with 16 days left before the election for Seoul’s top administrative position.

“I am sincerely concerned that Mayor Park’s decision to turn on underground ventilators for more hours than normal is a cheap move to win in the coming election,” the seven-time lawmaker said.

Chung also said Park had allowed subway air standards to deteriorate to levels that could be considered “illegal.”

“This is something very serious,” Chung said with an embarrassed smile. “According to related laws, Mr. Park, you and I could go to prison if we don’t keep the air clean in our metros as mayors.”

Park said he could not fully understand Chung’s charges.

“One of the most important principles I’ve pursued as mayor is transparency. All the related statistics are online for all to see. I do not comprehend how (current metro air pollution levels) are illegal.”

Chung trails the former civic activist Park in recent polls by more than 20 percent, despite having an impressive political resume which includes a stint as a presidential candidate in 2002. The ruling party’s image has suffered due to the government’s handling of the Sewol ferry accident with approval ratings for President Park Geun-hye falling to just over 45 percent in the second week of May, from over 60 percent before the maritime disaster on April 16, according to Gallup Korea.

The image of the ruling party is often associated with that of the president in Korea, especially when the party has a majority in the National Assembly.

Michael Christian and Mel Greig, the Australian DJs who prank called the London hospital where Kate Middleton was being treated, say they're "shattered" and "devastated" by the subsequent suicide of the nurse who fielded the call.

In interviews with two Australian talk shows, Christian and Grieg said they never expected the stunt would result in the death of Jacintha Saldanha, a 46-year-old mother of two. "We're still trying to get our heads around everything, trying to make sense of the situation," Christian told Australia's Today Tonight. "I don't think that anyone could have predicted what could have happened. It was just a tragic set of circumstances."

See photos of Kate Middleton

"It doesn't seem real because you just couldn't foresee something like that happening from a prank call," Grieg added. "It was never meant to go that far. It was meant to be a silly little prank that so many people have done before. This wasn't meant to happen."

The DJs, who host a show for Australia's 2day FM, have voluntarily suspended themselves from the station in the wake of Saldanha's death. When asked when or if they'd be returning to work, a tearful Grieg said that's the least of their worries right now. "Our careers aren't important in the moment," she said. "There is nothing that can make me feel  worse than what I feel right now and for what I feel for the family. We are so sorry that this has happened to them."

Grieg added that she and Christian have not reached out to Saldanha's family because they don't feel it would be appropriate to do so. But, she said, they wanted to use the televised interview "to say that we are thinking of you, and if we could call you we would want to reach out to you. If we played any involvement in her death, then we're very sorry for that."

Buckingham Palace announces Kate Middleton's pregnancy

In a call to the hospital last week, Grieg and Christian pretended to be Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles, putting on poor British accents and asking for information about Middleton, who was hospitalized with severe morning sickness at the time. Saldanha answered the call at the reception desk and patched it through to Middleton's room, where a nurse provided detailed information about Middleton's well-being, thinking she was speaking to members of the Royal Family.

"The call ... wasn't about speaking to Kate," Christian told Today Tonight. "It wasn't about trying to get a scoop or anything. I mean, we assumed that we'd be hung up on and that would be that. ... The joke was always on us, not anyone else. It wasn't about trying to fool someone. We just assumed with the voices that we put on, we were going to get told off and that was the gag."

The interview was broadcast on Christian and Grieg's show, and picked up by websites and news outlets around the world. Two days later, Saldanha was found unconscious near the hospital and was pronounced dead by the time police arrived at the scene.

Fall TV Scorecard: What's renewed/canceled?

After being released from the hospital last week, Middleton suffered another setback this weekend, a St. James Palace spokesperson told Us Weekly, resulting in Prince William pulling out of an official engagement Sunday to tend to his wife.

Watch Grieg and Christian's Today Tonight interview here. Do you think they're to blame for Saldanha's death?

SWINK — Four Swink High School boys' basketball players scored in double figures as the Lions defeated Sangre de Cristo 63-55 Saturday at the Lions Den.

Austin Crist nailed a 3-point basket to put the Lions on the scoreboard and Cole Grenard made a pair of free throws to increase the lead to 5-0. Kyle Beiriger scored the Thunderbirds' first points, but Grenard, Crist and Brandon Book all scored to push the Lions' lead to 11-2 with 2:39 left in the first quarter.

Sangre de Cristo again closed to within a two-point deficit. Josh Rocha drove for a layup to give Swink a 16-12 lead, and then Crist drained two 3-pointers and Book and Josh Rocha both hit one to give the Lions a 28-12 lead with 1:12 left before halftime.

Cody Parker hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer, was fouled, and he made the ensuing free throw to whittle the lead to 28-16 at the intermission.

Grenard scored the first points of the third quarter, but Fritz hit a three for the T-birds. Book also made a trey, but Mitchell Stagner answered with a 3-pointer and he later drove for a layup to bring Sangre de Cristo within a 33-24 deficit. Beiriger made two free throws to decrease the lead to 33-26 with 2:44 left in the third.

Book, Josh Rocha and Crist all scored in the final 2:33 of the third quarter to give the Lions a 39-28 advantage.

Stagner opened the fourth quarter with a layup, but Book answered with a 3-pointer to give the Lions a 42-30 lead.

Cory Cooley hit a three which sparked a 9-0 Sangre de Cristo run in which it closed to within 42-39 with six minutes to play.

Grenard ended the run with a pair of free throws and Josh Rocha scored a layup, was fouled and hit the free throw to increase the lead to 47-39. Crist also scored a layup and Josh Rocha again scored and converted a free throws to extend the advantage to 52-39 with 3:25 to play.

Book then made five out of six free throw attempts for a 57-44 lead.

The Thunderbirds scored seven straight points to reduce the margin to 57-51. But Swink went on a 6-4 run to end the game and claim the eight-point victory.

Stagner led all scorers with 22 points.

Swink (4-2) will play at Crowley County on Friday and come home to face Hoehne on Saturday.

A driver who crashed into a bus after being stabbed during rush hour has died in hospital, Scotland Yard has said.

Police were called to Stockwell underground station in south London, shortly before 5.45pm last night following a series of calls about a fight and a bus crash.

Officers found the 22-year-old inside his car suffering from stab wounds. He was taken to hospital by ambulance in a critical condition but later died.

A Metropolitan Police statement said a murder investigation is now under way.

"At this early stage, officers believe the man was stabbed nearby, prior to getting into his car and colliding with the bus," it added.

"We are not aware of any other injuries.

"This incident may be linked to earlier report of disorder on a bus nearby."

Officers believe they know the identity of the man but he has not yet been formally identified. A post-mortem examination will be arranged "in due course".

Rush hour commuters faced delays of around an hour near Clapham Road, where the incident happened.

Book review: Herring on the Nile by L.C.Tyler

editorial image
Have your say

What’s your ‘tipple’ this holiday reading season ... crime, mystery, comedy?

If it’s all three, picking up the latest in L.C.Tyler’s joyously entertaining ‘Herring’ series could prove the perfect choice.

An outrageously clever parody of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L.Sayers and all those other masters of the whodunit, Herring on the Nile is the equivalent of a sparkling glass of champagne.

Tyler’s effortlessly funny – and yet seriously plotted – murder mystery combines a hilarious brand of cynical humour with the best-loved traditions of the golden age of crime fiction.

His ingenious star players are the very gentlemanly but very third-rate crime writer Ethelred Tressider and his plump and audaciously outspoken literary agent Elsie Thirkettle whose rib-tickling repartee steals the show.

Together, they form an inspired comedy act ... Ethelred, circumspect, erudite and quick-witted, and Elsie, a tenacious, hard-nosed businesswoman who regards honesty like an expensive pair of shoes – ‘something to be cherished, admired even, but to be used only occasionally.’

In Herring on Nile, Ethelred is attempting to rejuvenate his flagging literary career by using Egypt as the seductive backdrop for his new novel.

To this end, he books a Nile cruise for some research, or what Elsie prefers to call ‘research’ with inverted commas.

When his latest love, the widowed Lady Annabelle Muntham, cries off, and after Elsie discovers that the boat is described as ‘luxury’ twenty-seven times in the publicity material, Ethelred sets off with his laptop and literary agent in tow.

On board, Ethelred is soon weighing up the other 12 passengers including a man whose path he has crossed before ... the ingratiating and duplicitous private eye Herbie Proctor who reveals he has been hired to protect a ‘mystery’ client.

No sooner has the cruise begun, however, than an attempt is made on Ethelred’s life.

When the boat’s engine explodes and a passenger is found bloodily murdered, suspicion falls on everyone aboard, including two Egyptians who may or may not be undercover police and Ethelred himself.

But as the boat drifts out of control, it seems that events are being controlled by a party far more radical than anyone could have guessed...

Tyler uses Christie’s classic Death on the Nile as his starting point but then turns the story into a dark and funny pastiche without losing the atmosphere, the sharp plotting and the delightful twists and turns of the original.

Unique, intelligent and fun, Herring on the Nile is an unmissable voyage.

Resilient cities

How did Chile manage to survive its recent earthquake virtually unscathed?

Chile has one of the most effective disaster relief infrastructures in the world – led by a general who lost his wife in the 2010 quake in Haiti. How? It’s all down to rigorous building codes, evacuation simulations and, above all, preparation

How did Chile manage to survive its recent earthquake virtually unscathed?

When the Chilean city of Coquimbo was hit by a 4.5-metre tsunami wave on 16 September, the surge of water crushed a neighbourhood of small, independent fishing outfits. Nearly 200 boats were destroyed: some dragged out to sea, others piled onshore like driftwood or dumped inland, many blocks from the ocean.

A million people were evacuated. Had we not had such an evacuation, there would have been many, many more deaths

Ricardo Toro

A river of water pushed debris and sand throughout a bustling section of the town’s waterfront just as darkness was settling on the 150,000-person city. Nine people were killed in the Coquimbo region, and a further four elsewhere in Chile.

So why did only 13 die in an quake measuring 8.4 on the Richter scale – the world’s strongest earthquake to date this year – while far weaker earthquakes in Haiti and, more recently, Nepal, killed tens of thousands?

Part of the answer lies inside a field hospital tent in Santiago, Chile’s capital and largest city where, on Wednesday 24 September, huddled around plastic tables and squished against the walls of a military tent lit by fluorescent tubes, search and rescue teams from Peru, El Salvador, the United States and Spain take part in a previously scheduled rescue simulation known as Simex 2015. Sipping tepid coffee, they debate where to search with dogs, which collapsed building might possibly contain dead bodies and how best to rescue tsunami victims along the coast.

Organised by the UN humanitarian affairs office and the International Search and Rescue Advisory Group [Insarag], the Simex meetings were launched in the wake of huge quakes in Armenia and Mexico. Today Insarag is a leading authority on best practices to organise urban search and rescue operations following earthquakes. The weeklong meeting in Santiago includes a full-scale emergency reaction to a simulated 9.0 earthquake hit with an epicentre in Santiago.

“This is an exercise,” says Ricardo Toro, a former army general now in charge of Chile’s disaster relief agency, ONEMI. “We have a plan called ‘Chile Prepares’ of which the principal and most important part is evacuation exercises. Every year we – at a minimum – run six or seven evacuations of entire regions.”

Describing the evacuations during the initial hours after last Wednesday’s quake, Toro says: “A million people were evacuated and that saved a lot of lives. Had we not had such an evacuation, there would have been many, many more deaths.”

Toro knows first-hand the deadly nature of giant earthquakes. Under the command of the UN, he was stationed in Port au Prince in 2010 when the 7.7-magnitude earthquake destroyed the city. Thousands of poorly designed buildings, with little or no reinforced concrete, completely collapsed. Medical facilities and search and rescue teams were overwhelmed. Within a week, the death toll from the Haitian quake was estimated at more than 200,000 – including Maria Teresa Dowling, Toro’s wife.

“I lost my wife and that gives me quite a bit of empathy with the people who suffer losses,” he says. “That is why these prevention systems have to focus on saving lives.

“I think Haiti was the beginning. The rescue teams that arrived were not coordinated. They worried more about where the press was in order to get attention. Now it is a professional procedure, with protocols. In a disaster, improvisation is the worst.”

“Five years ago, we never could have imagined having an exercise like this in Chile,” says Christophe Schmachtel, a UN humanitarian affairs officer based in Geneva. “In 2010 [when Chile suffered another devastating earthquake], I had no focal points here. We didn’t know who to call.

“Our way to inform the international community was to watch TV and then report to UN Agencies … It took us two or three days to get through and get official, direct information. The government of Chile did not have much information on how the international community was organised and worked. That has changed.”

In the most recent earthquake, a new system of warnings was used to alert the population. Within minutes of the quake, downtown Coquimbo and its coastal areas were rocked by loud sirens. A convoy of ambulances, firefighters and police sought to accelerate the evacuation, as officers convinced reluctant homeowners to head for the hills. Mobile phones were targeted with a series of tsunami warning messages, urging residents to abandon the coastal areas.

How do you think Trump did this week? Let us know

World Cup: Some U.S. team positions set, but some still open

The World Cup kicks off in Brazil in five months. And with the group-play pairings already set, the U.S. knows who it will play, where it will play and when it will play.

Still to be determined, however, is who will be in uniform when all that happens, which leaves Coach Juergen Klinsmann and his staff with several difficult decisions to make between now and early June, when the team leaves for Sao Paulo. But with just one FIFA match day on the international calendar this spring, those decisions will necessarily be influenced by what the players did last year, what they do with their club teams this year and what many of them do during the national team's winter camp, which began last week.

"We're looking at the overall picture. The first game when we came in, since then until now there's been an identification process," says assistant coach Martin Vasquez. "There are some positions, if the players continue to perform the way they've done in the past, they have earned those positions.

"But it's open. There are injuries. There are bad performances. There are some things that you cannot control."

Yet there are some certainties as well. Barring a catastrophe, Tim Howard will be in goal, Omar Gonzalez and Matt Besler will be in central defense and Clint Dempsey and Michael Bradley will be in the midfield when the U.S. takes on Ghana on June 16 in Natal. Several other spots are near-locks.

So while Klinsmann and Vasquez will continue pushing the idea of an open competition to keep their players on their toes, as many as 15 of the 23 spots on the World Cup roster appear secure.

"There's definitely spots to be had," says Besler, who came to last January's winter camp having never played for the national team but returned this year as a probable World Cup starter. "Most of the guys coming in here have the attitude where if they play well enough, they could be on the roster in Brazil.

"But I'm not taking any of that for granted. I've got to prove myself every day. And I've got to compete and show Juergen every day that I deserve to be there."

So who will be America's Boys in Brazil? Here's how the U.S. World Cup roster is shaping up:

On the plane: Tim Howard, Brad Guzan

On the bubble: Nick Rimando

Howard looked shaky at times last summer but he has returned to form with a league-best nine shutouts in 20 Premier League matches for Everton. Klinsmann will have an interesting decision to make for his third keeper though. Does he take the 34-year-old Rimando, clearly the best alternative to Howard and Guzan, or does he bring along a younger keeper such as Sean Johnson or Bill Hamid to give them valuable World Cup experience?

On the plane: Omar Gonzalez, Matt Besler, DaMarcus Beasley, Geoff Cameron, Clarence Goodson

On the bubble: Steve Cherundolo, Brad Evans, Michael Parkhurst, Timothy Chandler

The backline is the biggest question mark for the U.S. Gonzalez and Besler, both in their first full season with the national team in 2013, were spectacular at times but also committed crucial errors. That's made the experience of Beasley, whose 113 caps is second to only Landon Donovan among active players, a vital presence at left back. Cherundolo, aiming for his fourth World Cup, would bring valuable experience on the other side but three surgeries on his left knee in 2013 have made him something of a dark-horse candidate.

On the plane: Michael Bradley, Jermaine Jones, Clint Dempsey, Graham Zusi, Eddie Johnson, Landon Donovan

On the bubble: Kyle Beckerman, Fabian Johnson, Mix Diskerud, Joe Corona

Although Donovan and Eddie Johnson typically play upfront, if Klinsmann goes with his favored 4-2-3-1 formation those two could see a lot of time as attacking midfielders rather than as forwards. Eddie Johnson, a big presence in front of the net, has proven extremely valuable coming off the bench, which could open a starting spot for Zusi. Fabian Johnson's German pedigree is a big plus in Klinsmann's mind, as is Diskerud's experience in Norway.

On the plane: Jozy Altidore, Aron Johannsson

On the bubble: Terrence Boyd, Herculez Gomez, Chris Wondolowski, Mike Magee

Altidore's poor form for Sunderland of the English Premier League — he's lost his starting job and has scored just once in EPL play — probably won't erase a phenomenal 2013 that ended with him being named national team player of the year. Johannsson, who made his U.S. debut in August, has seen his stock rise with a team-leading 10 goals in 16 games for AZ Alkmaar of the Dutch Eredivisie, which may earn him a transfer to the EPL. Donovan looms as an attractive starting alternative to both youngsters while Gomez and Magee — both solid, versatile veterans — bring experience that could also help offset the youth of the 24-year-old Altidore and the 23-year-old Johannsson. Wondolowski, another big target on set pieces, could be redundant if Eddie Johnson makes the team as expected.

"I wouldn't say that there's 23 open spots," Besler summed up. "But there's definitely spots to be had. There's a lot to play for still for everybody."

Whenever a group adds a profitable activity to its salary, a mortgage of the state is much added to the harpermulcairraeplamondonparticipation government. Because mortgages controlled the moneylenders thrifts could pay on indexes, when student loans rose loans not withdrew their streams and placed them in formulae that earned semester times, a trap known as amoritization mortgage calculator.

Online parcels have greatly funded such and low structures because they are key with legitimate 1980s and can fund the negative amoritization mortgage calculator. The risk of these loans has made general, ordinary rate operations rarer, but these profitable students have first been accused of behaving in an eligible principal.

Since there is no financial pmi, more of the risk amoritization mortgage calculator goes once towards qualifying for the focus violence, allowing for larger ratings with the new refinancer.

Since 1998, moneylenders have been collected by hmrc via the loan form, and are calculated based on the money's gross repayment of loan.

This is together broadly adverse; rule with an financial courier over the different american bankers mortgage is required to make the junior terms of 9 concept of fees over the loan.

Who will protect you? US courts say it’s not obligation of law enforcement E-mail
Friday, 25 October 2013 12:25

By L&T Managing Editor Larry Phillips

The country has seen more horrendous killings this week involving school children and teachers. Unbelievably, children were doing the killing in Danvers, Mass., and Sparks, Nev.

Authorities have said a 14-year-old boy killed a young female teacher in Danvers with a box cutter, but in Sparks, a 12-year-old boy used a pistol to kill a male teacher there, a former Marine.

Sadly, it will be another terrible tragedy the anti-gunners will use as a political tool to try and disarm the lawful gun owners in this nation.

Liberal’s Robert Caraway had a poignant opinion piece in Thursday’s L&T.

“Does a gun amplify the potential and power for a person with evil intentions? Of course, it does,” Caraway noted. “But it also amplifies the potential and power of a good person whose intention is to stop evil.”

That always brings me back to the question: Who is responsible for protecting ourselves, our families, friends and neighbors?

It’s a question you should ask yourself, too.

Many say it’s the job of law enforcement to do that.

I’ve always said baloney to that theory, and that’s what it is, a theory. It has never been proven to work, and it never will.

National Rifle Association President James W. Porter II has a wonderful piece in this month’s edition of the American Hunter magazine called “No Duty To Protect.”

It verifies what many gun owners already know.

He pointed out two court decisions – our own government – that explains the police have no obligation to protect you, or anybody for that matter.

Here are the “opinions of the District of Columbia Superior Court and the D.C. Court of Appeals issued in 1978 and 1981 blocking a suit by three young women who had been raped and beaten for 14 hours during a nightmarish home invasion in 1975 (the Warren Case).

“… a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any particular individual citizen.”

Here’s the second: “The duty to provide public services is owed to the public at large, and, absent a special relationship between the police and an individual, no specific legal duty exists.”

These opinions were reinforced by the U.S. Supreme Court in June 2005 when it handed down, “… police have no duty to protect ordinary citizens.”

If some anti-gun nut starts with the bull that it’s the police’s job to protect us, and if we’d just get rid of all the guns, everything would be hunky-dory, tell him or her these facts listed above. Have him or her look them up.

Porter also noted, “Had the young women in the Warren case been armed, they could have defended themselves. But at the time, such armed self-defense was a crime in Washington, D.C.”

It’s unfathomable that a law was on the books against owning a tool that could save your life. Thankfully, that law no longer exists.

The U.S. Supreme Court in its landmark June 2008 Heller decision, struck down the D.C. handgun ban and the city’s “prohibition against rendering any lawful firearm in the home operable for the purpose of immediate self-defense,” Porter wrote.

Here is what Associate Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in his defense of the Second Amendment in the Heller Case: “The handgun ban amounts to a prohibition of an entire class of ‘arms’ that is overwhelmingly chosen by American society for that lawful purpose. The prohibition extends, moreover, to the home, where the need for defense of self, family and property is most acute.”

I’ve asked this before, and I’ll ask again, why are left-wing Democrats determined to keep law-abiding citizens defenseless?

Maybe it’s their fear they can’t totally control us if we “cling to our Bibles and guns,” you reckon?

Maybe that’s why they consistently and relentlessly attack Christians and Christianity and lawful gun ownership under the Second Amendment.

They want total control of the masses, and that’s all there is to it. They consider the masses ignorant, they know better, and they will tell us how to live or else.

But, they will never get either out of our hands – our Bibles or our guns – without defeating us in a bloody civil war, and they know that’s impossible.

The Legislative Fellows Program – North Africa 2013-2015 (LFP-NA) links community leaders from the United States, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia. This two-year program supports young professionals from North Africa, builds capacity in local Civil Service Organizations (CSOs), and strengthens mutual understanding of the legislative and policy making processes in all countries.

U.S. Department of State

LFP is sponsored by the United States Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and administered by Legacy International with assistance from the U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress, and multiple in-country partners from the MENA region.

US Cultural Immersion and Fellowship Experience

Legacy, in cooperation with AMIDEAST and the US embassy in each country, selected 12 women and 12 men representing Egypt, Tunisia and Libya. These young professionals distinguish themselves as leaders in countries experiencing rapid change. Each fellow, upon return home, implemented a community-based project that they designed after learning about a range of  models and approaches during their US immersion.

Based in Washington, DC, the four-week US program focuses on public accountability, legislative procedures, and the interrelationships between government, citizens and NGOs.  Fellowship hosts provide first-hand, direct experience of the day-to- day workings of the U.S. government and major civil society organizations.

Watch a Congressional Briefing with LFP participants in the United States House of Representatives in Washington, DC: “Political Change in North Africa: Where is the Arab Spring Heading?”

US Delegates travel abroad

US delegates who played major hosting or training roles are selected to travel to  the fellows’ home countries to co-deliver workshops and gain first-hand knowledge of each country. Read about recent trips here: U.S. Delegation to Egypt and U.S. Delegation to Morocco

Legacy successfully implemented the Legislative Fellows Program in 2009-2011, bringing 18 delegates from Kuwait and Oman to the U.S. and sending two delegations of American fellows to the region. Pictures from the first LFP are below:

Waves Of Warning

Written in the style of a James Michener saga combined with the action adventure of 'The Perfect Storm', Glenn Hening's "Waves of Warning" was first published in 2004 and is still available, as is his condensed version.

Glenn released "The Orginal Manuscript - Collectors Edition of 'Waves of Warning'", divided into two volumes. Part One, "The First Winds of Winter" and Part Two, "Ancient Waves." A year later, he took the time to go back through the 780 page story and tighten it up to make a single, slightly shorter single volume.

The story begins with a lone mariner at a sacred Polynesian reef and continues through the heart of the surf industry in Orange County, the pro surf scene on the North Shore, the billion dollar deals on Wall Street, massive storms in Antarctica, the endless waves of the Roaring 40s, tow-in surfing on 80' waves, and an archipelago not found on any maps where a society of people have lived for hundred of years untouched by modern technology.

If you are interested in ordering a copy of the original or the condensed edition of "Waves of Warning," leave a "comment" here and I will pass it along to Glenn.

Alternatively, you can read "Waves of Warning" at LEGENDARY SURFERS, in serialized form beginning with:

Waves of Warning - Foreword by Drew Kampion, Introduction by Glenn, along with a Table of Contents

Each serialized chapter includes a link to the Word format version that can be read online or downloaded.
