Where did the Moon come from?
Pete Wilton
As people swoon over the 'supermoon' currently lighting up our skies you might be surprised to learn that scientists are still debating the origins of the Earth's closest companion.
This week a special edition of the journal Royal Society A is published featuring ideas about the Moon's origins discussed at a meeting held last year.
I asked Professor Alex Halliday of Oxford University's Department of Earth Sciences, who co-edited the special edition and co-wrote the introduction, about the historical quest for the truth about the Moon and how the latest theories could be put to the test…
OxSciBlog: Why has understanding the Moon's origins been, historically, such a challenge?
Alex Halliday: The Moon is unusual compared with other moons in our Solar System. It is the largest moon relative to the size of its host planet, it is gradually moving away from Earth, and its orbit is tied to Earth's rotation with most of the angular momentum in the Moon's motion. It also has a lower uncompressed density than that of Earth implying a smaller iron core.
We have known these things for a while and they fit to varying degrees with a number of old theories: fission (that the Moon was spun out of Earth's interior); co-accretion (that the Moon just formed alongside Earth); and capture (that Earth captured a wandering planetary embryo into orbit).
Since samples were returned in the Apollo missions in the Sixties and Seventies five other things have become apparent:
First, the isotopic compositions of elements like oxygen and titanium are highly diverse in meteorites and hence probably radially variable within the Solar System, providing a kind of fingerprint for where atoms have been derived from. They are almost identical between the Earth and its Moon – suggesting that the material that formed the Moon came from Earth.
Second, the Moon is much more depleted in volatile elements - not just water but also in potassium for example. This suggests that either the Moon did not come from Earth, or that the process of lunar formation was hot, and somehow depleted the material in volatile elements.
Third, the Moon formed late – isotopic techniques show that the Moon formed more than 30 million years after the Solar System, whereas other Moon-sized objects should form within the first million years or so of the formation of the swirling disk that built our Solar System.
Fourth, the oldest rocks brought back by Apollo come from the Highlands (the whitish bits when you look at the Moon at night) and appear to have formed as various concentrations of crystals that floated/sank in a lunar magma ocean – suggesting a hot fiery start.
Fifth, the trace elements (such as rare earth elements) in younger lunar basalts (the dark areas on the Moon) provide evidence that they were derived by melting a deep lunar interior that itself was made of crystals that accumulated in this magma ocean – in other words the fiery magma ocean was global and extended to deep within the Moon.
All of this led to a model of a Moon origin through a massive late collision (the 'Giant Impact') between two already formed planets – the proto Earth when it was perhaps 90% formed and another smaller planet sometimes called 'Theia' that made up the remaining 10% (so about the size of Mars). Theia struck the Earth with a highly energetic glancing blow generating the angular momentum and a debris disk of hot degassed material from Earth's outer iron depleted parts that coalesced to form a molten ball.
This idea was finally established in 1984 in a meeting in Hawaii on the origin of the Moon. Subsequently, dynamic supercomputing simulations were able to successfully generate a Moon in this fashion. This fiery ball would have originally occupied perhaps about a third of the sky at night but has been migrating further away as a now cooled Moon ever since it formed.
OSB: What are the latest ideas about how the Moon formed?
AH: The Giant Impact theory is the least worst explanation for all of the above features, but there is a problem. Those scientists developing the computer models use a technique called smoothed particle hydrodynamics and this treats the material in the proto-Earth and Theia as made up of large numbers of equally sized large fragments (the so called 'particles') that interact with each other by gravity. The source of the fragments can be traced through the simulations. Nearly all of the fragments from Theia wind up embedded in the Earth. On this basis Earth has a composition that is a mix of (say) 90% proto-Earth and 10% Theia. Very little is lost from Earth.
However, when the scientists track the proportions of the two planets that wind up forming the Moon (which is only about 1% of Earth's mass) they are very different. In nearly all successful simulations the Moon is mainly (>50%) made up of material from Theia. This is hard to reconcile with the isotopic evidence that the Moon formed from atoms like those found in the Earth rather than in other parts of the Solar System.
Four explanations for this have been considered and the pros and cons formed the main basis for the Royal Society's Discussion Meeting on the Origin of the Moon in September of last year, the papers from which are now published:
1) Theia formed at the same heliocentric distance as the proto Earth so that the isotopic compositions look the same: The difficulty with this comes from explaining why the two planets stayed in a stable configuration for over thirty million years before colliding.
2) Meteorites are sampling the Solar System outboard of the Earth whereas Theia came from closer in to the Sun: It could be that Theia came from an inner region of the Solar System such as in the vicinity of Venus or Mercury where isotopic compositions look the same as those of Earth. We cannot test this without samples (rock or atmosphere) that we know came from Mercury or Venus.
3) The Giant Impact was so energetic that the atoms in the Earth were able to mix and exchange with those in the disk from which the Moon formed, eliminating original differences: This works for oxygen but is harder for some elements that are more refractory like titanium.
4) The simulations are simply wrong: A new class of simulation was published in 2012 proposing a Moon-forming impact between Theia and a proto-Earth that was already spinning very fast, perhaps with a day of just two hours. In other words the angular momentum is not generated by the Giant Impact – it was already present. Under these circumstances a Moon can be generated by a head on collision with a much smaller Theia – perhaps 2% of Earth's mass – leading to a debris disk dominated by material from Earth or at least in similar proportions. The problem with this and similar models is with how to slow down the Earth-Moon system afterwards. The authors have appealed to a tidal resonance with the Sun but some argue this is unlikely to work.
OSB: How might future missions test these ideas?
AH: A mission to Venus to sample its atmosphere or to Mercury to sample the rocks on its surface and measure the isotopic compositions would be invaluable. However, it probably requires returning the samples to Earth for measurement in the laboratory in order to achieve the precision required. It would allow us to test 2 above. Such a mission is a long way off. It is conceivable that we have samples of Mercury in our meteorite collections but do not yet know it. Some have argued for this but the case for any particular group is not entirely convincing yet.
OSB: What continues to fascinate you about the Moon's origins?
AH: The Giant Impact became, not just a model about the Moon, but an example of a mechanism by which all of the terrestrial planets formed. Other impacts did not form moons that persisted but the process is thought to be fundamental to planetary growth. As such it goes to the heart of the issue of how Earth-like planets originate. Of course Earth's spin also gives it day and night and this plus the tidal effects of the Moon affect habitable environments. Therefore, understanding how the Moon formed goes to the heart of the issues of origins and how habitable Earth like worlds are formed.
Yet, today, hundreds of years after Galileo showed the world the mountainous features of the Moon and started modern observational astronomy, hundreds of years after John Wilkins and Robert Hooke at Oxford discussed how to build a space craft to visit the Moon, and went on to found the Royal Society, and decades after Armstrong and colleagues brought back those precious samples of lunar rock, we still do not have a satisfactory explanation for how the Moon formed.
This is a scientific issue of deep significance that needs to be resolved.

Big Aftermath Tour
Dr Dre wants all his Aftermath artists to record and release albums this year - so they can hit the road together in 2005. He has scrapped what was to be his final album, Detox, to concentrate on producing projects for new signings Busta Rhymes, Eve and The Game, as well as collaborating with the likes of 50 Cent and Eminem.
And, if he achieves his goal of bombarding the charts with Aftermath stars, he'll set up a massive rap tour for 2005. He says, "The actual goal is to have every Aftermath artist come out with an album this year, and to do a stadium tour. That would be hot." (Source: W.E.N.N.)

I have written a number of times on this blog about providing reasonable accommodations for "service animals" and "emotional support animals." This legal battle continues to affect condominium and homeowner association communities. A recent case shows a new way that a condominium association could get in trouble for refusing to provide a reasonable accommodation: because of a neighbor's blog post.

We are really excited to announce that we are working with Discovery Lab a local STEAM based school to have mini farm school workshops at Green Bow Farm. Our sons started attending Discovery Lab this Fall. They love it and we have been impressed with their hands on learning curriculum that emphasizes child lead interests. We started the year with DL students coming out and observing sheep shearing and also learning how to skirt and card fleeces. This got us excited about doing more educational outreach in our community. It's something we have always wanted to do but haven't made it a priority yet. So this winter with the support of the school's teacher and parents both Farmer Matt and I have worked on a simple curriculum for the students that touches on many different aspects of the farm and also gives them some hands on learning opportunities. The farm is at its healthiest when we are in touch with how all the different animals and plants are working together to create soil biodiversity and food for both humans, animals, and insects. In order to do this we need to closely observe the land on a daily basis and make adjustments to our work and how the animals are moved around on pastures. Working more with the community to teach people about how and why we farm the way we do is another way that we can be responsible stewards of the land and hopefully inspire a new generation to also look differently at where there food comes from . So here is a sneak peek at the workshops that the Discovery Lab students will be participating in.

On climate change, it's Donald Trump v the world
Analysis of statements from over 190 world leaders suggests Republican nominee for White House would be isolated as a climate denier
Donald Trump is defying convention with his casual approach to calling other world leaders (Pic: Gage Skidmore/Flickr)
By Ed King
Should he win November's US presidential election, Donald Trump will be the only elected world leader to deny the science of climate change.
That's the finding of a report from the Sierra Club after assessing the views of more than 190 heads of government.
"A review of the data indicates that Trump might very well be the only world leader not calling for urgent climate action," says the report.
Some of the country's closest allies are among the strongest supporters of tough climate action, with leaders in France, Israel, Canada, Australia, Germany and the UK backing the UN's 2015 climate pact.
Even major oil producers now accept the science: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Iran and Russia all approved the Paris deal.
They changed the name from "global warming" to "climate change" after the term global warming just wasn't working (it was too cold)!
Speaking in the French capital during last December's conference, Vladimir Putin spoke of his support for a plan to limit warming to below 2C, according to a speech on the Kremlin website.
In contrast, "bullshit", "hoax" and "mythical" are some of the words used by Trump to describe climate change.
The Republican candidate has suggested it could be a Chinese conspiracy (although he later said that was a joke), and threatened to "cancel" the Paris climate deal if he comes to power.
Results from the election will be announced in the middle of the UN's 2016 climate summit in Marrakech, and may determine how much progress can be made at the meeting.
In contrast to Trump, analysts say Democrat contender Hillary Clinton could run on the most ambitious climate platforms ever seen in a White House race.
Released this week, Clinton's policies include tougher tests for fracking and new pipelines, a carbon tax and incentives for renewables.
"The entire landscape of America's energy policy will be changed if (Hillary Clinton) follows her word here," veteran US environmental campaigner Bill McKibben told the Guardian.

CNN LARRY KING LIVE
Interview With Paul Burrell
Aired December 5, 2002 - 21:00 ET
LARRY KING, HOST (voice-over): Tonight Princess Diana's butler Paul Burrell. He sold intimate details of palace life to the tabloid, setting off a royal scandal that infuriated Di's own family. Tonight in his first live primetime interview, what other secrets will we learn? Paul Burrell, Princess Diana's rock, is here for the hour taking your phone calls. He's here next on LARRY KING LIVE
KING: Every time I get around the British I either go British or resort back to (UNINTELLIGIBLE) Brookland. Any ways Paul Burrell our special guest. He was Princess Di long time butler and confidant, she referred to him as her rock. He was arrest on charges of stealing more then 300 hundred items. That whole trial collapsed when the queen literally exonerated him. We welcome him to LARRY KING LIVE.
What's life been like for you?
PAUL BURRELL, PRINCESS DIANA'S LONG TIME BUTLER: It's been a roller coaster of emotions, ups and downs.
KING: When you were arrested were you shocked?
BURRELL: I was. How naive could I be to think the police would not come to my door. They did come to my door and they found more than they should have.
KING: How did you get to be a butler?
BURRELL: How? I went to Buckingham Palace when I was 18.
KING: Learned it there?
BURRELL: They taught me. For three years they taught me the ropes and how to behave and speak properly and behave properly around the palace.
KING: What does a butler do?
BURRELL: A butler does everything for his master. (UNINTELLIGIBLE) was it Helina (ph) the film "Gosford Park" she said? To be a servant is to have no life. That's exactly what a butler does. KING: You married, have children. So you were able to have that kind of life, weren't you?
BURRELL: Well, True, for some of the time. But your boss always comes first, and the princess always came first.
KING: Before your wife and children?
BURRELL: That's right. My family knew that.
KING: And accepted it?
BURRELL: Yes, they knew and understood it.
KING: How did you get the specific job of being her butler?
BURRELL: Well, the princess was looking for someone she could trust. And I was looking after the queen at the time, at Buckingham Palace. She worked on my wife. She said to Maria, wouldn't you like to come and live at Highgrove it's beautiful down in the country side? And you could have an idealic lifestyle there. Why not come and look after Charles and I in country home. And I said, No, I couldn't leave the queen. She said, course you can. So I did. And I went to look after both of them, in Highgrove.
KING: Looking out means -- anything they want?
BURRELL: Everything. Every single aspect of their life. Absolutely everything.
KING: Where they want to go, you take care of their travel, you do all the kind of things. Lay out their clothing?
BURRELL: A dresser normally does that. If they're traveling alone then you take all responsibilities.
KING: What was she like to work for?
BURRELL: She was sometimes very difficult, but interesting. She was an amazing lady. Huge amount of giving. Wherever she went in the world she was embraced. Especially in America.
KING: There are lots to talk about tonight. Well be taking calls. How do you account -- you said especially in America. You mentioned before to me before we started, she was going to live here?
BURRELL: That's right. Yes, she had plans to live in Malibu.
KING: Malibu?
KING: Was she going to marry the friend who died with her?
BURRELL: I never saw any plans for marriage. I have to say that because that's true. But she did want to come to America, because America is all embracing, isn't it? People easily are forgiven here in the states and not so much in England. She wanted to come here and start a new life. Great place to bring the boys for summer holidays and a great lifestyle.
KING: What happened with the items? How did those items come to you? How did you come to possess them? Give me the story.
BURRELL: Well, during my time with the princess, she gave me lots of things to keep safe. She was paranoid about her security inside the palace. She never knew who was coming in and out of her rooms at any one time. No, when she was away, a plumber or electrician or somebody could have been entering her room and looking at her private things.
So she gave me things to keep safe, and said, Paul, you take care of them, they're safe with you. Other things she had given to me and my wife and children as gifts. She was a very generous lady. She gave Maria a cast of clothes, Vesache, Valentino, all the beautiful clothes that she didn't want, Maria had. Hand bags from Gucci. Valentio hand bags and hand bags from famous designers. So all these shoes, hand bags, clothes. The police said -- course, they don't belong to you Maria, they belong to the princess took them and said that I had stolen them. Course I hadn't stolen them.
KING: They were given to you to take care of...
BURRELL: Yes.
KING: ... and what had you intended to do with them after she had died?
Well, some of the items she had given to me, she said destroy them. Very recognizable suits or hats. And they were in my possession at the time of her death, but after she died, Larry, I couldn't burn anything or destroy anything which belonged to her. But a I was going through a very deep grieving process. And actually, I wanted to keep everything safe. I sort of mummified everything.
KING: You had no idea of keeping this for sale or profit? Step right up and buy lady's hat?
BURRELL: No. The police said I was selling things to America. What they didn't know was I have some very close American friends who had supported us during the time we didn't have an income. A very wealthy American family in Manhattan had sent us many thousands of dollars and course, the police thought that I was selling items to these people for gain.
KING: Could you reveal that family's name?
BURRELL: Could I reveal that family's name. Would that be very fair to say that?
KING: Why not, if they helped the queen.
BURRELL: They helped us a great deal -- Mr. And Mrs. Kingsberg in America, in Manhattan. Very generous family.
KING: A couple? What does he do?
BURRELL: He's a financier and works in the city.
KING: So you have all this stuff. Now you're arrested.
KING: Did you fear that nothing happening like the queen stepping in, you would be found guilty?
BURRELL: Yes, of course. When you're sat in the number one court in the Old Bailey on trial in a place where murderers and rapists had sat for generations. People were taken from that dock downstairs and hung. I was sat there thinking well my fate's sealed. I'm going to prison. I can't prove myself. The only person that could prove that was the lady that wasn't here any more.
KING: But you also knew the queen knew?
BURRELL: Well, I did, but you know, Larry, conversations I had with the queen I thought were private. One to one conversation I had with her majesty of Buckingham Palace, we spoke for literally three hours. Lot of newspapers say three minutes.
KING: Standing all the time.
BURRELL: We stood in her sitting room.
KING: Why didn't you sit in her sitting room?
BURRELL: She didn't invite me to sit down, so I stood with her and we chatted.
KING: You knew she knew you did nothing wrong?
BURRELL: Yes, absolutely.
KING: You didn't expect her to come forward?
BURRELL: No, I didn't.
KING: Because queens don't do that?
BURRELL: Unprecedented.
KING: Why do you think she did?
BURRELL: Because I felt she really thought at the time this has gone far enough. And she never expected it to go that far. She had to step in. The queen's incapable of telling a lie. She can't tell lies she's a good, kind, Christian lady, fascinating woman. And...
KING: How did you get the news that she revealed it?
BURRELL: My brief, my (UNINTELLIGIBLE), my QC, in the Old Bailey, she said, Paul, it's over and thought...
KING: Where were you?
BURRELL: I was sat in the dark and...
KING: Who knew you was in the court room.
BURRELL: In the court room. He beckoned me to come out of the dark, which is the place you sit surrounded by glass. And I stepped out of the dark and went to him. He said, the queen's stopped the trial. I literally embraced him and cried.
KING: Why suddenly did everyone come down on you?
BURRELL: Because I sold my story to a tabloid newspaper in England.
KING: Why -- that was the "Mirror," right?
BURRELL: "The Dailey Mirror"
KING: Why did you do that?
BURRELL: I had to do that because I had to; a, tell my story. I was denied telling my story because the prosecution had their go. They had two weeks to try and prove me guilty. It was my turn then to tell people why I was innocent. Plus, the amount of money which I received for telling my story replaced the money which I would have earned previous two years when I didn't have an income. I literally...
KING: You were out of work for two years?
BURRELL: I was out of work for two years.
KING: You had a shop though.
BURRELL: I had a small flower shop which had a small income which paid for the small expenses such as paying the phone bill and electric bill. But in that time, there was no money coming in. Maria had to sell some of her jewelry. I had to spend the boy's savings, we cashed in our life policy.
KING: So you needed the money?
BURRELL: We needed the money. To replace our debts.
KING: What happened is, what every other tabloid jumped on you.
BURRELL: They all turned against me.
KING: Were they all offering you money before they turned against you?
BURRELL: They were. But when I was acquitted, the day I was acquitted all the newspapers were for me. The day after I had signed the deal, everyone was against me except the "Daily Mirror." They all offered me money ranging from 50,000 pounds to 2 million pounds. That's $3 million which is a lot of money.
KING: What did you get from the "Mirror"?
BURRELL: I got 300,000 pounds.
KING: Why didn't you take the 2 million.
BURRELL: Because I'd have to sell my soul.
KING: Meaning they wanted what.
BURRELL: They wanted everything. They wanted a lot.
KING: Paul Burrell is our guest, former butler to Princess Diana. We'll be take your calls as well. This is LARRY KING LIVE don't go away.
DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES: It was a symptom of what was going on in my marriage. I was crying out for help, but giving the wrong signals. And people were using my bulimia as a coat on a hanger. They decided that was the problem. Diana was unstable.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Instead of looking behind the symptom at the cause? What was the cause?
DIANA: The cause was a situation where my husband and I had to keep everything together because we didn't want to disappoint the public, and yet obviously there was a lot of anxiety going on within our four walls.
KING: Why did she give that interview to the BBC?
BURRELL: Because she didn't have a voice. She was trapped inside a palace and she tried to shout out and no one would listen.
KING: Did you know about her bulimia?
KING: How did she manage to stay healthy? Was she throwing up her food?
BURRELL: Yes. That's what happens.
KING: She thought she was fat?
BURRELL: Yes. I aided and abetted. I provided bowls of custard, rice pudding, yogurt. You name it. It was there. KING: To do what with?
BURRELL: Well, because what happens is people eat large amounts of food and then get rid of it. And you know what's going to happen. I knew the symptoms, raiding the fridge. And then I'd follow her into the bathroom and set the towels into the right place.
KING: Were you close enough to tell her maybe you shouldn't do this?
BURRELL: Of course I was. But I wasn't the professional. I wasn't able to help in the professional way.
KING: Did she ever seek professional help?
BURRELL: No.
KING: Never at all, with any of her problems?
BURRELL: It was very difficult for a princess to ask professional advice of anyone. Because, as you know, turns into a story overnight.
KING: You claim that after her death the queen warned you of powers that be in the palace.
BURRELL: That's right.
KING: Lurking and -- what? What?
BURRELL: Not dark forces.
KING: A lot of intrigue. What's going on?
BURRELL: Someone said dark forces it sounds like "Star Wars," doesn't it? It wasn't.
She said that there are forces out there of which we have no knowledge. I think she meant there were people working in the country that -- listening to telephone conversations and watching people all the time. I'm sure they are. I'm sure they're watching this right now, just to make sure that I'm not saying anything I shouldn't be saying, because the world's a very dangerous place, isn't it? You don't think?
KING: I guess, yes. But I mean, what are they worried about?
BURRELL: Well, I suppose they're worried about me saying too much. Because I worked for the royal family.
KING: You know too much?
BURRELL: Well perhaps I do. I don't know that I do because I always...
KING: Did you hold back things from "The Mirror?" BURRELL: Of course I did. Yes. I didn't tell everything. It would take far too long to do that. We would still be running the story now until Christmas probably.
KING: But you knew about her dalliances, right? You knew that she saw other men?
BURRELL: Of course I did. I knew every aspect of her life. And I was there to make sure things happened in the right way. A controlled environment is a much better than one that flies off the handle.
KING: You had to cover for her?
KING: Now, what happened to your shop?
BURRELL: My shop was burned down.
KING: Arson?
BURRELL: Yes, it was arson. The police haven't yet released the report about it, but it was premeditated. Someone actually did go with an intent to burn it down.
KING: Who's mad at you?
BURRELL: Someone is.
KING: The tabloids are jealous because you gave it to one another and not the other.
KING: But who's mad at you? I mean, who...
BURRELL: I think people misunderstand me. People have thought that I have told too many secrets. Actually, I haven't. I told my story. It was my right to tell my story.
The other tabloids, of course, mixed up the mixture. They got a hold of a document which was confidential between me and my legal team and they leaked that to the media. The media used that as a story. It was information which was very private, very personal and only to be used as background.
Remember, my life was on the line. I was going to prison. I could have gone to prison for a very long time.
KING: Why do you have security?
BURRELL: Because...
KING: You travel with security, right?
BURRELL: I do, absolutely.
Mike, my security man, comes with me everywhere I go. Because -- you never know quite who's around the next corner. And he's there to help me through that problem.
KING: You knew that in selling the story, though, you'd be criticized?
BURRELL: Yes, I did.
KING: He's out to take advantage...
KING: ... of a situation that he had privy to?
BURRELL: Yes, I did. But I never expected such a vicious, vindictive attack on me as a person, which would -- I was acquitted of a huge crime: stealing from my princess.
KING: Another guy was just acquitted, right?
KING: Someone -- what was that about?
BURRELL: That was about a similar thing, but nothing to do with my case. He had served the princess previously to me and had allegedly stolen items from her, too. But there was nothing to do with me in that trial. But the problem was, you see, the public linked the two because we're both butlers.
KING: Yes. How do you get along with Charles?
BURRELL: I got along with him very well. He's a very kind generous man. And he looked after us during our time at Highgrove (ph). Every luxury was afforded to us. He rebuilt my little cottage. He built the boys a playroom. He looked after us. He's a very kind man.
KING: What were the boys like?
BURRELL: William and Harry? When I grew up with them and my boys grew up with them in the nursery.
KING: Are they the same age? Your boys?
BURRELL: Similar ages. Mine are 17 and 14. William and Harry are sort of in between.
My boys now have fond memories of living a royal lifestyle. See, we've always lived in that environment. They went everywhere with William and Harry to theme parks, to theaters, to premieres. And so they're sort of used to the media spotlight.
KING: Like them? BURRELL: Do I like them? They're wonderful boys. They're their mother's...
KING: She was a good mother.
BURRELL: Yes. Their mother's true legacy.
KING: Why weren't you with her when she died?
BURRELL: Because every year we took down and we discussed the diary. And I take two weeks off a year.
KING: A diary? You mean her diary?
BURRELL: Her engagement diary.
KING: Her schedule?
BURRELL: Yes. And so, these two weeks in August were my family time to go away with my family. And she would go away to Mediterranean on the boat. Well, she did this year. In '97. And I spoke to her every day on her mobile phone.
KING: Was she in love with Dodi Fayed?
BURRELL: In love? That's a very -- that's a loaded question. She was very fond of him. She was very fond of him. He provided -- wasn't it strange? He provide something which she desperately needed: security.
And that was the one thing that let her down. She had a fun time. She was having a good time. She was with someone that cared for her. And she needed that.
KING: But you're not sure that they would have married?
BURRELL: No, I don't think they would have married.
KING: How did you learn of her death?
BURRELL: I was sat with her PA, Jacqueline Allen (ph). And...
KING: PA is?
BURRELL: Her personal assistant. And we heard from Balmorale (ph) at 3:00 in the morning. In fact...
KING: Somebody called?
BURRELL: (UNINTELLIGIBLE). The Brazilian ambassador's wife in Washington at the time, she rang me and said, Paul, there's been an accident. CNN has just reported the fact that princess had an accident in Paris and did I know about it? And I said, No, I didn't know anything. She said, Ring her on her mobile phone. Ring her. You'll find her.
So I did ring her. And it rang and rang and rang. No answer, which was very odd because she always carried that phone with her.
And, in the end we found, that the accident had been fatal. So I flew to Paris immediately to attend to her person.
KING: Were you rocked?
BURRELL: I was. I was severely traumatized by what I saw.
But, you know, I think there should be someone there for everyone at that time. Because there's no dignity in death. And you can't actually take care of yourself. So isn't it a comforting feeling to know there's someone there that can do that for you?
KING: So what role did you play? What did you do?
BURRELL: I looked after her. I took care of her.
KING: Took care of her in death.
BURRELL: As I had in life.
KING: Saw the body?
KING: Attended to the funeral?
BURRELL: Yes. Watched over her. Stayed with her. Kept her safe.
KING: Did you love her?
BURRELL: Course I did. I defy any man to say that they didn't meet her and fall in love with her. She was such an lovely person. She was an egmatic (ph), vibrant, lively person. She was a lovely person.
KING: We'll be back with more of Paul Burrell. We'll be including your phone calls. Don't go away.
PRINCESS DIANA: She'd rung me up ten days before it arrived in the book shops to tell me there was nothing to worry about. And I believed him, stupidly. Then when it did arrive, the first thing I did was rush down to talk to my children and William produced a box of chocolates and said, Mummy, I think you've been hurt. These are to make you smile again. So..
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Did your relationship go beyond a close friendship?
PRINCESS DIANA: Yes, it did. Yes.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Were you unfaithful?
PRINCESS DIANA: Yes. I adored him. Yes, I was in love with him. But I was very let down.
KING: That book rocked her, huh?
BURRELL: It did.
KING: Did she speak to him again?
BURRELL: No. I always liked James Hewitt. I always thought he was a very nice man. Never expected him to do that. And I remember when that book -- he sent a copy of that book to the princess and I said there's no way you're going to read this.
I took it upstairs and I stood in front of her and tore it. Tore the spine in half and tore each page out of it and shredded it in front of her. I said, You're not going to read this trash. Because people always let her down.
KING: And she never did?
BURRELL: No. No.
KING: Didn't she play part -- don't you play part in your own disappointments?
BURRELL: Yes, but how disgusting for another human being to actually do that to another. What's between two people is personal and private and love is the most precious thing.
KING: She allegedly taped a conversation with a former Royal servant who claimed to be the victim of a homosexual rape by a close aide to Prince Charles. Whereabouts of that tape is a mystery. Do you know anything about it?
BURRELL: I saw the tape. I knew of the tape's existence. It was mentioned in my trial. I knew that the tape was what it was purported to be because the princess told me.
KING: "Vanity Fair" has a picture. I don't know if you've seen it, we'll put it up. That's the current issue of "Vanity Fair." That's not the picture. That's Carmen Diaz.
There's the picture of Paul and Diana and George Smith. That's George Smith.
BURRELL: That's me. That's a younger me.
KING: What was the George Smith story?
BURRELL: George was a Welsh guardsman.
KING: That's him. BURRELL: Yes that's George. He was a Welsh guardsman (UNINTELLIGIBLE) to the Prince of Wales household.
Apparently that happened by another member of staff while George was with the princess at Kensington Palace. The princess wanted to help George. She was a great one for reaching out and helping people. This was part of the process, the healing process of talking about it.
KING: Didn't that concern her, gay rape?
BURRELL: Of course it concerned her. But it was about two other people. She respected that privacy. George did not want to speak about it at that moment in time. He didn't want anybody to know. He was a married man with children. He was ashamed of it. It was his decision and the princess adhered to that and quite rightly.
KING: Is the palace kind of a crazy place?
BURRELL: It's unusual place. It's a world by itself. It has its own rules and regulations and upstairs-downstairs relations. Life below stairs is just as complicated as life above.
KING: (UNINTELLIGIBLE)
BURRELL: Yes. There are five separate dining rooms for different levels of staff to eat in. It depends on the hierarchy.
KING: How well were you paid?
BURRELL: My first wage was 900 pounds a year. Which is, what, $1500 a year which isn't very much, is it?
KING: What was it at the end?
BURRELL: At the end it was a great deal more because the princess had become a very wealthy lady. The first thing she said when she came into her settlement which some was like 14 million pounds, $20 million, she said -- came through the door and said, First thing I'm going to do is give you a pay raise.
And she did. So I was earning something around about 30,000 pounds, which is $50,000. Which is very good. I was very happy with that.
KING: We'll be back more with more Paul Burrell and we'll be including your phone calls on this edition of LARRY KING LIVE.
Naomi Campbell tomorrow night. Another British. Don't go away.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Around 1986, again, according to the biography written about by Jonathan Dingleby (ph), he says that your husband renewed his relationship with Mrs. Camilla Parker-Bowles. Were you aware of that?
PRINCESS DIANA: Yes, I was. But I wasn't in a position to do anything about it.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What evidence did you have that their relationship was continuing even though you were married?
PRINCESS DIANA: A woman's instinct is a very good one.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Is that all?
Well, I had -- I -- obviously I had knowledge of it.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: From staff?
PRINCESS DIANA: Well, from people who minded and cared about our marriage, yes.
KING: And the obvious is, were you one of those people?
BURRELL: I was one of those people.
KING: That told her.
BURRELL: Well, yes.
KING: How do you tell that to someone?
BURRELL: Well, I found myself in a very difficult position, Larry. I was standing in two camps, a foot in each. Looking after the prince during the week at Highgrove (ph) and the princess at the weekend when she came with the boys. And life wasn't easy.
KING: So you knew he was having a relationship with Camilla?
BURRELL: Yes, I did. Yes.
KING: Why did you tell her?
BURRELL: Well, she already knew. There were other people telling her, too. And, quite frankly, I used to say her, Don't ask me difficult questions. It's so difficult for me. Please don't put me in that position. And she used to say, I know you know everything. I know you know what's going on and you should tell me.
But of course, I couldn't at that stage because I was looking after both the prince and the princess.
KING: But then you did.
BURRELL: Well, because eventually I was only looking after the princess. So I could be honest and true.
KING: Did you know camilla? BURRELL: Yes.
KING: Like her?
BURRELL: Actually, she's a very nice lady. She's a very nice lady.
KING: The main players here are all very nice.
BURRELL: Yes. Well, it's true. It's true. It's human nature. It's life. And the prince made a decision. It's his decision. He decides exactly who he wants to be with. And he will probably decide to get married one day. Why shouldn't he?
KING: They were cheating on each other though, weren't they?
BURRELL: Well -- complicated lifestyles.
KING: I would say.
BURRELL: Very complex and complicated.
KING: By the way, Paul's on the front cover of "Hello" magazine. Did you know that?
BURRELL: Well, I have not seen it. Are you going to show it?
KING: I think we're going to show it. Are we going to show the front cover of "Hello" magazine? There it is. Hello!
BURRELL: Oh, wow.
KING: Now what is -- is "Hello" the "People" magazine of Great Britain?
BURRELL: "Hello" is the widespread magazine in the Britain...
KING: Is it a fair -- is it a good...
BURRELL: It's a good representation of people's lives.
I'm in it this issue with my family because this happened to my family, not just me. My boys, Alex and Nick, said, Dad we want to be there -- we want stand beside you. We want to support you. And my wife stood there with me. And, yes, we are a family. A very loving, caring family.
KING: Are you going to do a book?
BURRELL: Am I going to do a book?
KING: About all this.
BURRELL: Well, about all this?
KING: Yes. BURRELL: I might. I might. Do you think it would sell?
KING: You did a book before but I was -- do I think it would sell? Yes, I'd think it would sell. But you'd have to write -- you'd have to write a book that included what they wanted to give you $2 million for that you didn't want to tell. It would have to be more than you've told.
BURRELL: Yes, and we've already signed that deal about my autobiography before we came in the studio, Larry, didn't we?
KING: You did. Are you going to do an autobiography? Really? Tell us. Break it here tonight.
BURRELL: Never say never.
KING: You'd be interested?
BURRELL: How could you say never? I have had such an incredible life. I've lived two lives in one already. What's in store for me? Goodness knows what's ahead.
KING: Your previous book was in the cookbook area, right?
BURRELL: Yes, it was. It was an entertaining, lighthearted book about recipes and...
KING: Valdosta, Georgia, as we go to calls for Paul Burrell. Hello.
CALLER: What is your happiest memory of Diana?
BURRELL: My happiest memory of the princess. How many? How many? We haven't got all night to talk about it.
KING: Give us one.
BURRELL: One thing.
Do you know the day she was married I was looking after the queen at Buckingham Palace. And she ran down the red carpeted corridor with her train rolled up in a ball like that. She had rolled it up like that. And she was running down the corridor and I could see the diamond tiara flashing. And she was running towards me. And I thought, That is a picture that will always be with me, that picture of pure happiness. That was the happiest day of her life.
KING: She was very much in love with him, wasn't she?
BURRELL: She was. She adored him. She was -- she fell in love with a prince and she became a princess.
KING: Dallas, Texas, hello.
CALLER: Yes. I'm calling because at times, Diana has seemed to be a little bit careless with her life and I wanted to ask Paul where was her family? Why did they not help support her during these times, during her divorce? Why did they not offer their advice?
KING: The Spencers.
BURRELL: Well, unfortunately, the princess' family were like many other families, never around when they were needed. The princess chose her family. She chose the people she wanted to be her family, the people around her. So she chose Rosa Munkton (ph), Lucia Fletcher Delima (ph), myself and people Lord Attenborough (ph), and people like that whom she trusted. They were the people she ran to. They were the people she cared about. And they were the people who gave her advice.
Don't forget that her brother neglected her and would not offer her sanctuary on the family estate at Orthrop (ph). That came out during my trial. He did not want to give her a little cottage on the estate, which is very sad. Most families pull together and live together. It's just a very sad thing.
KING: So his speech, you weren't taken by it?
BURRELL: I wasn't taken by it at all. I just -- I wasn't the only person in Westminster that felt that he was a hypocrite because he hadn't been there. When she needed him most, he turned his back.
KING: There were allegations denied by the palace, that Prince Phillip had sent harsh letters to Diana, calling her a harlot and worse even. True?
BURRELL: Prince Phillip did send letters to the princess. I saw them. They were in the box of secrets. I don't know where they are now.
KING: The box of secrets.
BURRELL: The box of secrets. So, those letters...
KING: He was ticked?
BURRELL: I never saw those words, Larry. I never saw harlot and strumpet and whore or whatever was supposed to be said.
KING: What did you see?
BURRELL: Well, I saw letters from a man who actually wanted to keep the family firm on the road, who wanted to keep things together, who cared. And that's strange because Prince Phillip gets a very bad press.
KING: So they weren't critical?
BURRELL: Well, they were very pointed. And they were letters which were very constructive.
KING: Like a father to a daughter?
BURRELL: Like a father to daughter. And the contents should remain private because they were between two people.
KING: Payson, Arizona, hello.
CALLER: Hi, Larry, Paul.
KING: Hi.
BURRELL: Hi.
CALLER: I was curious, why didn't you get a job other than your floral shop to supplement your income instead of selling your story to "The Mirror"? Wasn't there a confidentiality agreement signed between you and the princess at all?
BURRELL: Do you know I never signed an agreement with the princess? And the day she died, someone came into my office with a piece of paper and said, I think you better sign this. And I said, Do you think, honestly, that I should sign that now? What a cheek. What a source to ask me to sign it now. I've never betrayed the princess. I've only defended myself.
I have never told secrets. I have never told you anything which wasn't already in the public domain. So I defend myself by saying that. My income from the flower shop was small. What could I do? I was standing on trial for stealing princess' possessions in the highest court in the land. So I had to do something which wasn't hugely national. I had to do something which was local. And flowers was something which I knew something about from my previous life. I did all the flowers for princess at Kensington Palace.
So, it seemed to be to be a natural way to earn a living.
KING: Just figured out who you look like.
BURRELL: Who?
KING: A young Tony Randall.
BURRELL: Tony Randall.
KING: One of my favorite people.
BURRELL: All right.
KING: We'll be back with more calls for Paul Burrell right after this. Don't go away.
ELIZABETH II, QUEEN OF ENGLAND: First I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being, in good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness. I admired and respected her for her energy and commitment to others. And especially for her devotion to her two boys.
KING: Did she mean that?
BURRELL: Yes, she did. She's a good, kind Christian lady.
KING: Reno, Nevada, for Paul Burrell.
CALLER: Hi, good evening.
CALLER: My question is, have either of Diana's boys contacted you to talk to you about all of these stories about their mother? And did they get to see her after she passed away?
BURRELL: I haven't spoke ton the boys direct. But messages have come to me since my trial. And messages of support from both William and Harry, the prince of Wales, the queen and the royal family. So I look forward to actually seeing them in the near future and taking back some belongings which their mother gave me for safe keeping. I want to shake them by the hand and say, I'm the person you've always known. I'm the person you grew up with. I'm still the same. And the boys really are their mother true legacy to the country. Can't you see it in William's face.
KING: Sevierville, Tennessee. Hello.
CALLER: Mr. Burrell, do you feel that there was a conspiracy to have the princess murdered as Dodi Fayed's father feels?
BURRELL: I don't share the same views as Mr. Al-Fayed. But I do share the view that once the nation was busy grieving the princess, they forgot the fact that Mr. Al-Fayed had lost his son. To lose a child is the most awful thing that could ever happen to you in your lifetime. I don't think there was a conspiracy. I think it was just a tragic accident. And one which we all remember, because we all remember where we were when it happened. Sign of a great person.
KING: London, Ontario, hello.
CALLER: Hi, Paul. It's a pleasure to speak with you. I was just wondering in your opinion who was Princess Diana's soul mate?
BURRELL: That's a very -- that's a very tricky question, who was her soul mate. I think -- I can't tell you that because that person is very close to me, too. And I would not wish to discuss that any further. But you don't have to guess. Wouldn't take 1 million guesses to guess who that was.
KING: Male, right?
BURRELL: Yes. Other than Mother Teresa.
KING: Someone she deeply loved? BURRELL: Yes,.
KING: Loved when she died?
KING: You say we should know this? Because I don't know who you're talking about. Vancouver, British Columbia.
BURRELL: I have to be very discreet.
CALLER: Hello, Paul. I think you're a very honorable man.
BURRELL: Thank you.
CALLER: I was wondering how you feel now about her brother Charles, the grandstanding at the funeral and what's come out now, how he did treat her.
BURRELL: Well, I always knew how he -- the family respected the princess' life. I always knew what happened behind closed doors so it was no surprise to me. I personally have no wish to ever visit Althorp. Although, you know, that's the resting place of the princess. And it's sad, isn't it, to think one has to pay 10 pound 50, almost $20, to pay your respects to the princess at her family home. When in America you don't have to that with your president. It's there for everyone and everyone can go. Every walk of life can go free. That's as it should be.
KING: Los Angeles, hello.
CALLER: Hello. There have always been rumors that James Hewitt is the father of Prince Harry. Is this true?
BURRELL: That is not true. The princess didn't even know James Hewitt at that time.
KING: So. Lot of rumors.
BURRELL: Just because he's got red hair? Is it? All the Spencer family have red hair. It's one of those things.
KING: I have no idea why -- why is there such incredible interest in the doings of people who by just being born, were suddenly...
BURRELL: We're fascinated.
KING: Would you want to be royalty?
BURRELL: No. Actually not. I want to be anonymous. I don't want to be known. To lose your anonymity is a very precious thing to have, to be able to go anywhere and do anything and see anybody or say anything. You can't when you've lost that. You're trapped.
KING: And our fascination with them must have to do with that? BURRELL: Yes. We are fascinated by them.
KING: No one wants to live there, do they?
KING: You don't want to live there?
BURRELL: No. It's part of what made Britain great. It's part of our fabric, British culture. It is what made Britain great.
KING: Ashville, North Carolina, hello.
CALLER: Good evening, Larry and Paul. I have a question for you. Is there -- was there no one in Princess Diana's life that she could confide in and trust outside of her family?
BURRELL: Well, she had me. She had Luhcia and she had Rosa Monkton. She had those people she chose. Those people were very dear to her because they told her the truth. And although sometimes we tell her the truth and she didn't like it, she always knew it was the truth.
KING: How about her friends in America?
BURRELL: Her friends in America, too. She had many friends throughout America.
KING: What was her biggest fault?
BURRELL: Her biggest fault? Being too generous.
KING: Generous to a fault.
BURRELL: Yes, she gave everything away.
KING: An easy touch.
BURRELL: Yes. What she always said that it's much easier to give than receive because there are no strings attached to giving. And there are too many attached to receiving, which is true, if you think about it.
KING: So easy for a hard luck story?
BURRELL: Yes. And she was betrayed so many times because she was such a famous person. Everyone wanted to know about her. Everybody told their story. Everybody wrote the intimate details and secrets and washed all that down in public.
I've been accused of that. Of course, if you read my story in the "Daily Mirror" in England, you'd know I haven't told anything but the truth. And that wasn't half what I would have said if I had got into the box. Can you imagine being cross-examined by the prosecution about every aspect of 21 years life in a royal palace? I didn't want to go there. I really didn't. KING: But if you do write a book, if you do, you are going to have to go there. That's what the publisher's going to say, that's our interest.
BURRELL: Yes, but money is not the most important thing in life, Larry. It really isn't. I have seen tremendous wealth and fame and all of that royalty behind closed doors. It doesn't bring happiness. People around you that love you bring happiness.
KING: Was it easy for her to have a lover come to see her?
BURRELL: When I was around, yes.
KING: You would be the cover?
BURRELL: I would. I facilitate any meeting which she required.
KING: Would they come through back doors, sneaking around?
BURRELL: In car boots, under blankets, any way I could.
KING: You got a good story. We'll be back with our remaining moments with Paul Burrell and more phone calls. Don't go away.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Keep moving back, please.
KING: Did you like being part of a mob scene?
BURRELL: It's interesting. For once the police were protecting me, not against me.
KING: Meridian, Connecticut, hello.
CALLER: Yes, Larry, question for Paul. Couldn't Prince Charles have taken charge of where Diana was buried rather than her brother?
BURRELL: Not really, because the Prince of Wales was divorced from the princess so he was no longer part of the family, technically. So by law it had to be the next of kin, which were the spencer family. We all had our views. I thought she should have been buried in London in Westminster Abbey or in a public place where people could come and pay their respects. I think that would have been appropriate, don't you?
KING: I know how good you were in your job, but handling the funeral, seeing the body, must have been...
BURRELL: It was -- I was in duty mode.
KING: No kidding? BURRELL: I did it because I did it for the person whom I cared for for so many years. I did it because it was my duty.
KING: When did you grieve?
BURRELL: I don't think I have. I don't think I ever have.
KING: You're still on duty?
BURRELL: I think I'll always be on duty. If I was Marilyn Monroe's butler I would still be on duty.
KING: Would you want to be a butler again?
BURRELL: I don't think I can because I have lost my anonymity. To do what I did, I had to be unknown.
KING: St. John, New Brunswick, hello.
CALLER: Hello, Larry, hello, Paul. I'd like to just ask you if you know whatever happened to Diana's engagement ring? She thought an awful lot of that.
BURRELL: I know exactly what happened to her engagement ring. It isn't a secret to tell you this. When the boys were asked what they would like of their mother's possessions, William chose her watch, which she wore every day of her life, and Harry chose her engagement ring because he knew it was so special to his mother.
KING: So he has it?
BURRELL: He has it, yes.
KING: Paramus, New Jersey, hello.
CALLER: Hello, Paul.
KING: Go ahead.
CALLER: I just want to tell Paul that I think he's a very honorable man. I wonder, every once in awhile, do you think maybe she's smiling down on you and saying, thank you very much?
BURRELL: I'd like to think she's right here right now. Because I think when you go off to wherever you go to, you can be wherever you want.
During my court trial I felt that maybe she just sat behind me giving me the courage to carry on.
KING: What's your most prized possession of hers, something you've kept?
BURRELL: I have got so many things. My -- I suppose a signed photograph with my love. I chose the photograph from a photo shoot and she wrote on it "To Paul with my love. And... KING: How did you wife handle this? The attention you got. The obvious affection you have for Princess Di?
BURRELL: She grew up in the system with me. She was the duke's maid. We married in Royal service, we lived our lives in royal service. She loved the princess, too. She was a princess' dresser for some time. Princess gave her clothes. And, you know, she understood it. Lot of women wouldn't understand it.
KING: You bet. I would bet they'd get ticked.
BURRELL: You see, it was an awful consuming relationship. It was a vocation. Not a life. It was a vacation. A vocation, not a working life. It was so unusual. The queen said to me, No one has been as close to a member of my family as you have, Paul.
KING: What are you going to do with your life, Paul?
BURRELL: I'm going to try to do something which has dignity, style and integrity all rolled into one.
KING: Rebuild the store?
BURRELL: I wouldn't mind bringing the Royal Butler Range to America or the Butler's Pantry or having that little slice of Martha Stewart's pie. I believe she doesn't have a big a pie as she used to have.
KING: Would you like a media career?
BURRELL: I wouldn't mind being a correspondent for CNN in London.
KING: You would like to be our Royal correspondent?
BURRELL: I would. How about that.
KING: I'll have to speak to management. I'd hire you.
BURRELL: I have heard so much rubbish being said about the Royal family and people pontificate about what they're doing. They have no idea.
KING: You'd be fantastic.
BURRELL: And I wouldn't give anything away.
KING: From inside. Thank you, Paul.
BURRELL: Good to speak to you.
KING: Paul Burrell, butler to Princess Di. This will be the first of, we hope, many visits.
I want to just take a moment here before we leave you and let you know in a minute about tomorrow night. To mark in passing the death of Roone Arledge. He was great man in American television. He changed the nature of American television with the way he ran ABC News and the way he presented and gave us Monday Night Football.
Roone Arledge changed the face of American news and forced challenges to everybody in the business who does work. I was honored to have known him, almost went to work for him, considered it a great honor just to be in his presence. He will be sorely missed.
We'll be right back and tell you about tomorrow night.
KING: Tomorrow night another British will join us, the famed model Naomi Campbell, who sued the tabloids, won and then lost and is trying to win again. Naomi Campbell, tomorrow night.

Part 2: How many dead Black children does it take to get a Sandy Hook response?
Posted by girlslikemeblog in Advocacy, Girls Like Me, Lifestyle, Parenting, Urban Girls and tagged with Chicago, Cleo Cowley, gun violence, Hadiya Pendleton, homicide, honor roll, Nathaniel Pendleton, Obama, park, playground, reward, shot, student February 3, 2013
So. Chicago lost another young, innocent child. A developing life; a soul who in her short time left a lot of good behind. It hurts to imagine how much more she had to give to us. This world has lost an angel, by the name of Hadiya Pendleton.
It has been four days since the senseless murder of Hadiya.
Four days of pain. Four days of grief. Four days of mourning. Four days of devastation.
Yet in the midst of what must be an impossible amount of grief and agony, Hadiya's mom, Cleo Cowley, summoned the courage to tell the world about her baby girl on Rev. Al Sharpton's cable television program, Politics Nation. Through tears, Hadiya's mom painted a picture of Hadiya. "She wasn't the violent type," Sister Cleo said. "She loved people. I want there to be an awareness."
And while Cleo Cowley allowed us to be gapers of her sorrow, the answer to the question I unapologetically posed in my initial blog post remains on the table: How many dead Black children does it take to get a Sandy Hook response?
An infographic couldn't emphasize the blatant difference in the response following the Sandy Hook massacre from that of the heartless murder of Hadiya or the hundreds of economically-crippled Black children in Chicago, Oakland, Baltimore, Detroit and all around the country who have been slain.
So, yes, I wanted to know if America would join this mother and cry tears for Hadiya…Would we move to action to vow her life would not have been loss in vain.
It was wonderful to hear Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) introduced Hadiya's name and story into the Senate Hearings on gun control.
Senator Durbin honored Hadiya's memory and he raised up all children who have been impacted by senseless gun violence.
At the same time, Hadiya's choice to hang with goal-oriented peers was mocked as Chicago Police and local media jumped to the conclusion that all the boys in the group she spent her last hour with were "gang affiliated." and they all fled to leave Hadiya dying alone… Turns out that was completely false.
See there was no immediate concern by media or law enforcement for the mental wellness of the friends who are left to cope with the trauma they endured having been shot at, let alone process the helplessness of watching their friend lie dying. This is not only the case in this instance, but routine after the victims have been identified and laid to rest, their peers return to schools, playgrounds, and corner stores that hold the most painful memories for them. Our children are criminalized, which takes precedence over their socio-emotional well being.
Still, I believe there are even more questions to ask. Questions such as how long will it be before President Obama makes the trip home; almost literally as his Chicago residence is within walking distance of the playground where Hadiya was shot in her back and left to die. The question makes sense as President Obama had visited the Sandy Hook families to personally deliver his condolences; he sent his regrets through the press secretary, Jay Carney, and later a private phone call.
This child was ecstatic about her visit to Washington D.C. to perform with her high school band during her President's inauguration…she believed he would win the election even before voting day. Hadiya had faith in President Obama before his second term began. Four days after her death and so far he has a phone call for her…some say that's not going to cut it.
Which is why Black Youth Project authored a petition requesting President Obama visit his hometown and deliver a speech addressing the violence and hopelessness suffocating the youth here.
And while the President's presence is requested, Chicago's Mayor Emanuel immediately expressed his outrage over the loss of our children, the incredible life we lost when Hadiya became yet another victim of constant gun violence plaguing this city. The gun violence that has taken more than 300 Black and brown children's lives in the last four years.
More than 300 lives. Count that number. How many classrooms could you fill with that number of children? Whether it is the class size of 20 in Sandy Hook or an oversized class of 30+ in underperforming Chicago Public Schools, the number is atrocious.
In the first month of this year, Hadiya became the the 42nd homicide in our world-class city. 42 in a month of 31 days. Do the math. Heart wrenching I know. Conscious shaking for sure. Yet, it seems like the math Mayor Emanuel is doing is less about subtraction of lives and more focused on addition, multiplication…the bottom line.
Less than four days later, now Mr. Mayor wants to assure everyone that the city's reputation is just fine and to prove it he shared the numbers, "Our tourism is up 8 percent."
What?!? Shameful!
You cannot ensure the safety of this city's residents, but you can assuage visitors? But he is right. Beverly, Lincoln and Wicker Park , the loop and downtown remain safe. Tourists can shop Mag Mile with carefree abandon, fueled by the plentiful cash lining their designer pockets and leather handbags.
In the same city. Meanwhile a world away on the south side (a distance of 10 miles) Black children live in a war zone where sirens are the soundtrack to their daytime and lullabies at night. Their young innocence stifled by rampant, random gun fire. Where mothers worry that their child doing the right things at the right time will become victims at the wrong place at the wrong time. No one has any reassurances for them. Police patrol the hood, not in the spirit of service, but uniformed Gestapo.
So, here is where we get our answer. This society does not hold the same value for our children, children who do not resemble the children of Sandy Hook in race or class. Point blank. And it is counter productive for us to sit around waiting for them to see the light; the light that is the beautiful treasure of our young people. It is time, long overdue for us to have our own response.
Now we will honor Hadiya in the ways we know how. We will support her family in preparing a home going fit for our angel. You can do your part to assist w/ funeral costs. Donate via PayPal. Use the PayPal email is HadiyaOurAngel@yahoo.com
We should all "Like" her official RIP Hadiya Facebook page which has more than 30,000 likes.
Hadiya will be our community's tipping point.
The no snitch code will be broken and the $40K reward will be granted to the brave person who turns the in the killer.
The activists, advocates, organizers, pastors, educators, and those who recognize that every life is a valuable contribution to our society will come together with a strategic plan of action and strident demands to keep our children safe in EVERY neighborhood, across each zip code and property tax bracket.
We know we can't wait for any savior. We must save our own.
More than tears for Heaven
Posted by girlslikemeblog in Advocacy, Education, Empowerment, Girls Like Me, Lifestyle, Parenting, Teens and tagged with Austin, candy store, Chicago, children, crime, gangs, gun violence, Heaven Sutton, ice cone, kids, killed, McCarthy, Mentor, murdered, neighborhood, News, playing, Police, Public Schools, Rahm Emanuel, Shakaki Asphy, shot, thugs June 28, 2012
I cried today, as I seem to do many times when watching local news here in Chicago. But today the sorrow is deep and far-reaching as news outlets around the country report on 7 year old Heaven Sutton, shot from a coward's bullet while she played near her family's candy stand on the city's west side.This hurts. And it should hurt us all. Yet it does not as many have become desensitized.I think of what this young girl's mother had in her heart for her baby girl to give her such an intentional name…Heaven.
Many will hear the story and not recognize their connection to little Heaven. Some will distance themselves from the tragedy either by virtue of their zip code, occupation, race and/or class. So often we believe if we just "avoid" certain areas and types of people, we will live to see another day. We believe that. Maybe there was a time when that was true…not today.Perhaps this is what pierces my spirit the most: The saved and sane amongst us have done such a thorough job of maneuvering the maladies of the ghetto like an elusive NFL running back. We move out to suburbs; keep to the "safe" part of town; disassociate from neighborhood folks; enroll our children in "good schools"; socialize in trendy leisure watering holes; lock our car doors and roll our windows up then avoid side streets, taking the expressways to navigate point A to B.Still, left behind are the innocent ones just trying to live life they were born into and play where they live. You know, just being kids.
When I heard the headlines stating the victim's name, age and neighborhood, I prayed it was not the precocious child I met just two days ago who'd enrolled in my summer program on Chicago's west side, also named Heaven. Even after seeing it was not her, no relief came to me. Only tears for Heaven.
Like my own daughter whenever we head to our home in Englewood on Chicago's south side, little Heaven begged her mother to move from her neighborhood because of the violence. See she too wanted a life of affirmation. I can imagine her "when I grow up…" declarations. Not surprisingly, she had the dream of most children to visit the magical world of Disney. But we have robbed her, and so many other little girls and boys, of that possibility.
How are you included in the "we?"By simply ignoring the cancer eating away- infesting our community and families.
At times like these you want to sympathize and pity the victim's family. Spout visceral language, wishing ill-fate to befall perpetrators who snatch lives and run to hide like spooks. You want to point the finger and give blame a face and name, look anywhere but at ourselves.
Yet it was while watching the news, to my utter amazement I found myself nodding my head in staunch agreement with Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who audaciously asserted, "This is not about crime, it is about values." When further pondering who could shoot into a crowd near innocent, playing children, he searched out "Who raised you?"That's it. Here's our mirror moment. Nobody is helpingraise our precious babies any more. Too many are "minding their own business." Not long ago, even as late as the crack-pushing Reagan 80s our community raised us. It is not airing dirty laundry to tell how people of African descent (Blacks are included for the new post-racial folks) were nurtured and raised in the village concept. Nosey neighbors existed to tattle and correct wayward children. Present fathers and uncles rounded up all the knuckleheads for sports. Sassy mothers braided any little girls hair and doled our freeze pops to any child within 50 feet of their home. Cool aunties taught us how to dance. Experienced big sisters kept us safe. Teachers set expectations and vehemently reinforced them. Dedicated church deacons disciplined like biological parents. The Mother's Board and church ladies emphasized decorum. And dignity and values were common practice.And I'm not romanticizing. Was there deviant and criminal behavior back in the day? Most definitely. But bad behavior knew its place, and it certainly was not to be demonstrated out in the open near children and innocent by-standers. Nobody said, because little Kenya's mother is working late it's okay for her to run up and down the street with no supervision. Even if little Chris' father wasn't around, the fathers who were did not exclude him. Everyone took responsibility for everyone. There was and remains a role for each and everyone of us. Without any of us ever pulling a trigger, if we continue to deny and shirk from our roles and responsibilities in this fight for our community's values and ultimate existence, little Heaven will become an inexhaustible statistic.
Speaking of statistics, according to the Chicago Tribune, Heaven became the 20th child under 17 to be killed by gun violence. Let me instagram that visual for you… that would be an entire classroom of students. Get the picture?
Also included in the number is 16 year old Shakaki Asphy who was shot in the chest while visiting a friend earlier this month. She died. Unarmed. Sitting on a porch.
Are you outraged about that? Don't we owe it to our children, those born into circumstances through no fault of their own and with no resources to change their present reality, to live free and unharmed?Hate to admit it, but generations before dropped the ball in some aspects, many succumbing to drugs (using and selling) or that integrationists' all-mighty, ever intoxicating American-Dream that if only you become a success you can escape the hood that raised you and prosper…
Still, no matter what has or hasn't happened in the past, it's time for my generation and beyond, the Xs Ys whatever you tag yourself, it's time to take it back to the block. Attending to our professional development and networks is a beautiful thing, but when senseless violence stifles the dreams and makes life a nightmare for the children coming behind us, we can't side step that.
I'm fed up. I really am. Time to take it back to the block. If you'd like to join Windy City CARES Circle of the National CARES Mentoring Movement and Girls Like Me Project, Inc. to organize a peace movement here in Chicago, please email your contact info.
Other ways you can help end the senseless violence are:
Become a mentor to youth in your community: So many are involved in self-destructive lifestyles due to lack of positive engagement. Your experiences and interaction can offer a life-saving alternative.
Report Crime: Time out for the "no-snitching" creed. Criminals are brazen because they are confident no one will tell.
Fight against gun violence
Educate: Share history (personal and universal) that gives young ones some cultural context and relevance. When you know better, you do better.
Dedicate your blog to gun violence prevention
Let's not only shed tears for Heaven. We owe our lives to all those lives trying to survive the America they know and we want to forget.

To simplify development of XML Web service client applications, Visual Studio provides Web references. Web references differ from traditional references and components; instead of referencing a component or a class library installed on the local computer, a Web reference provides access to a resource that is available using an Internet protocol such as SOAP or HTTP.
In practice, a Web reference is a generated proxy class that locally represents the exposed functionality of an XML Web service. The proxy class defines methods that represent the actual methods exposed by an XML Web service. When your application creates an instance of the proxy class, your application can call the XML Web service methods as if the XML Web service were a locally available component. For instructions on creating a Web reference, see How to: Add and Remove Web References.
To make XML Web services outside a firewall available to the Web browser, when creating the Web reference in Visual Studio, you must explicitly specify the address and port of your network's proxy server.
The programming language of a generated proxy class will be the same as the programming language of the Web service that the proxy class represents. If you create the proxy class independently of Visual Studio (for example, by using a .NET Framework tool), the programming language depends on which tool you use. For example, if you use WSDL.exe, you specify the programming language on the command line as either C# or Visual Basic. If you use SProxy.exe, the programming language is Visual C++. For more information, see Web Services Description Language Tool (Wsdl.exe).
At design time, the proxy class enables you to use statement completion for the XML Web service methods. At run time, a call to a method of the proxy object is processed and encoded as a SOAP request message. If the XML Web service does not support SOAP, the proxy class uses HTTP GET and POST. The message is then sent to the target Web Service for processing. If the service description defines a response message, the proxy object processes this message and returns a response to your application.
You can rename or modify Web references or update them if the referenced Web service has changed. For details, see How to: Rename a Project Web Reference and How to: Update a Project Web Reference.
Each Web reference in your project interacts with a proxy class that is used to access the Web service. You can use the Web reference URL property to specify the URL to the XML Web service. In ASP.NET 1.1, a Web reference can use either a static URL or a dynamic URL. In ASP.NET 2.0 and later, a Web reference obtains the URL dynamically. For more information, see Locating Web Services.
When you create a Web reference in Visual Studio using the Add Web Reference dialog box, this property is set by default to the URL of the XML Web service you select, which is a static URL. If you leave the URL behavior set to the default value of static, the proxy class sets the URL property using a hard-coded URL when you create an instance of the class.
If you set the URL behavior of the Web reference to dynamic, the application obtains the URL at run time from the appSettings element of your application's configuration file.

What does having an IQ above 145 mean? Are these people really 'genius'?
So all those tests given on the internet aren't really accurate? I took one and there weren't any of the specifications you mentioned. Thanks for the answer, by the way.
Hey Indian! That's sad cause most people refer to only those, even I did. Thanks, anyway.
A score of above 145 puts one in the "exceptionally gifted" category, which is an easier to understand designation than "genius".
A number on an IQ test doesn't make someone a genius. True genius also requires the right training and abilities. A person has to be matched with the right field for their gifts.
There are geniuses whose scores don't fall in the IQ "exceptionally gifted" range, because what they do, and how they do it, matches so well with their particular gift. There are also people who score off the charts on IQ tests, whose skills are less noticed, or less valued by society, so while they may be geniuses according to the numbers, they don't appear to be any more brilliant than the next person.
So, my answer to your question is that someone scoring over 145 on an IQ test could be a genius. It just depends on what they do with their abilities, and how we choose to recognize them.
Thanks Lisa Vollrath. All the tests on the net just classify all these people as genius by birth and it just seemed to be unfair. It seemed like they were saying that the people who fall in the average category don't stand a chance. Thank you anyway.
FWIW, your IQ can change. My first test score, at age 8, was 180. Now, I score in the 150s consistently, but sometimes, in the 160s. I'm not a genius, but those scores made a difference in how I was taught, and my extra activities as a child.
An IQ within the 140 range is considered gifted. It is also classified to be a genius level IQ. IQs of 145 & above would be genius material. Now, are people with IQs of 145 & above are genius. Yes, they are geniuses on paper but in actuality, only a few utilize their intellectual potential to the most. Many are in nondescript jobs, never fully using their intellectual potential so their intellectual potential lies dormant.
While a few realize their intellectual acumen & make it their brand, others really are afraid of their genius, so they mask it & channel it in negative ways. Genius is only genius if one uses it to its optimum level to enrich himself/herself & others. Geniuses aren't afraid to be extraordinary & visionary, they embrace these components & LET THEIR LIGHT SHINE!
Many genius-level people reject social conventions about success, and use their abilities in quiet ways. There's often a lot of pressure when identified as "genius", and the expectations may not match with the person's interests and skills.
Thanks gmwilliams and Lisa Vollrath!
It's generally considered gifted, but IQ tests need to be taken with a grain of salt. They are imperfect tests for measuring something that's difficult to define.
-a good memory? Ability to remember facts and details?
-Ability to learn new tasks quickly?
-Ability to perform complex tasks, even if it takes awhile to learn?
-creative thinking? Ability to "invent" new ideas and different ways of thinking?
IQ tests are difficult also to keep free from bias, and can often offer varying results.
While certainly people do fall into a range of intelligence somehow, it's so difficult to test and define. An IQ test is maybe the best tool we have for defining it, but someone scoring 140 doesn't automatically mean they are a genius, in my opinion.
What do you consider to be a near genius level IQ?
Would you prefer to be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton?
so, Do you know what your IQ is?
