shame they did that to pearl habor

Leroy Barber grew up in rural New London, Wis., hunting and fishing with two of his brothers. He enlisted in the Navy, trained at the Great Lakes facility north of Chicago and was assigned to a battleship. Barber enjoyed being a sailor, missed his brothers and advised them to join up. The Navy made an exception to its rule against putting family members on one boat - a decision their father sought to reverse - but America was not at war, and Hawaii was about as far from Europe's fighting as you could get.

That's how the Barber boys, Malcolm, 22, Leroy, 21 and Randolph, 19, came to serve together as firemen on the USS Oklahoma. And that is how they died: together, on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941 - 75 years ago this Wednesday - when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and drew America into World War II.

"We are not bitter, but there is one thing neither of us can forgive," Peter Barber, their father, told the Tribune in May 1942. "We were at peace when the attack started. Our boys didn't even know about it. They must have been caught below decks without any chance to fight back. If they had known - if we had been on guard - they would have returned fire and they might not all have died."

Many wars are remembered and battles commemorated. But only two dates on the calendar awaken recollections of a sneak attack on American territory by an undeclared enemy. One is Sept. 11, which was 15 years ago this year. And then there is Dec. 7, "a date which will live in infamy," as President Franklin Roosevelt told Congress in a national radio broadcast the next afternoon. A few hours later, the United States declared war on Japan. A few days later, the U.S. declared war on Germany.

The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise, but it was foreshadowed. In 1941, America was attempting to check Japanese aggression in China through economic sanctions. The U.S. knew from a code-breaking operation known as "Magic" that Japan was girding for war. Conflict seemed inevitable, but officials in Washington missed the signals that war was imminent, and never guessed Hawaii would be a target. The American public also was unprepared.

On Dec. 1, the Tribune reported that ongoing negotiations to halt Japan's expansionist moves were at a critical juncture, but there was a distant, theoretical tone to the warning. The U.S., having backed Britain in Europe, was already engaged in quasi-conflict with Germany. In the Pacific, war against Japan remained an unappealing question. "The United States is not prepared to fight a war on two fronts and will not be before the completion of our two-ocean navy in 1946," the Tribune's story said.

The U.S. military was not on alert in Hawaii. Most naval personnel treated Dec. 7, a Sunday, as a day off. Around 7 a.m., just as radar operators were completing their overnight watch, they spotted a stunning concentration of aircraft coming their way - must be B-17s coming in from California, they were told.

Wrong: This was the first Japanese carrier strike force of torpedo- and dive-bombers, escorted by Zero fighters. The Japanese attack, completed in two waves in less than two hours, destroyed most of the U.S. military planes on the island of Oahu and devastated the U.S. Pacific fleet. Most of the ships' anti-aircraft guns were unmanned. A few heroic American pilots got off the ground to shoot down Zeros, but the day marked a humiliating and painful entrance to the war. The Barber brothers were among 2,300 U.S. service members killed.

Firsthand descriptions of Dec. 7 have dwindled as survivors depart us, but the lesson of Pearl Harbor endures. In 1941, the United States failed to anticipate Japanese aggression. In 2001, terrorists intensified a slow-burning war against American civilians that had started years earlier and continues today. Despite America's great power and comparative isolation on the map, it is vulnerable to the enemies it has, and the ones it may have. Our nation forgets that at its peril.

Green Bay Elementary School students evacuated due to mercury scare

they got em' with gummy bears

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Several high school students in a Chicago suburb were taken to a local hospital after eating gummy bears some said may have been laced with marijuana.

"This candy made those students both uncomfortable and sick," according to a statement from the Naperville School District.

Students began showing up at the Naperville North High School nurse's office late morning Tuesday, reported CNN affiliate WLS.

Fourteen students were taken to Edward Hospital for treatment. At least 12 of the students had eaten the gummy bears, said the school district in a Facebook post.

Their symptoms included fast heart rate, dizziness and dry mouth.

By the afternoon, most of the students had been released from the hospital with two remaining for further evaluation.

Students told police that they thought the gummy bears were "laced with something with marijuana, like a liquid-based marijuana substance," said Naperville Police commander Jason Arres.

"However, we have not confirmed that. This is simply what we are being told by some of the patients."

Testing is underway to figure out what was inside the gummy bears.

A 17-year-old male student was taken into custody, but released without being charged, reported WLS.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Time magazine has named Donald Trump its Person of the Year -- calling him "President of the Divided States of America."

"I don't think that we have ever seen one person, operating in such an unconventional way, have an impact on the events of the year," said Time editor Nancy Gibbs.

She called this year's choice "one of the more straightforward years." Trump beat runner-up Hillary Clinton for the distinction, which Gibbs said is given to the newsmaker who has the biggest influence on world events, for better or worse.

Placing third was "the hackers," to cover people who breached the records of major government organizations, politicians, celebrities and everyday citizens.

The short list also included President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, scientists who developed new DNA-related technology and Beyonce.

The announcement was revealed on NBC's "Today" show. Speaking on the show via phone, Trump called the title a "very, very great honor."

The magazine has been selecting the year's most influential person, group or idea since 1927. Its choices have included nearly every U.S. president, Adolf Hitler, Ayatollah Khomeini, Mahatma Gandhi and Pope Francis, along with groups like "American women" and "Ebola fighters." The title was changed in 1982 to "Machine of the Year" for the computer.

"It's hard to measure the scale of his disruption," Gibbs wrote in the magazine's article about choosing Trump this year. "So which is it this year: Better or worse? The challenge for Donald Trump is how profoundly the country disagrees about the answer."

Trump has already appeared on Time's cover on numerous occasions this year, including two covers published before the election that featured a cartoon illustration of his melting face titled "Meltdown" and "Total meltdown."

Trump criticized the magazine last year when it picked German chancellor Angela Merkel.

Trump, who had been a finalized, tweeted the magazine "would never pick me as person of the year despite being the big favorite," calling Merkel the "person who is ruining Germany."

Trump on Wednesday, however, called the magazine "important."

"It means a lot, especially me growing up reading Time magazine, and you know, it's a very important magazine, and I've been lucky enough to be on the cover many times this year," he said on NBC.

The Taiwan syndrome: What happens if Trump rejects the art of diplomacy?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
As a nation, we're slowly getting used to President-elect Donald Trump's shock-and-awe style of communication. He made clear during the campaign that he has no patience for political correctness - he thinks it's the language of wimps and do-nothings. Exaggeration-for-effect is more the Trumpian way.

That's effective in friendly venues like an Ohio town hall meeting, we suppose. But in the ramp-up to his presidency Trump has begun giving the rest of the world a peek at his tell-it-like-it-is leadership, and the result is a marvel mixed with hints of danger. He has until his Jan. 20 inauguration to find a global voice that is both authentic and responsible.

On Friday, Trump accepted a telephone call from Taiwan's president, ostensibly to congratulate him on his election victory. But there was a lot more to it than nicety. Taking the call was viewed as a precedent and a provocation directed at China because Taiwan and China are estranged and the United States officially recognizes only the government in Beijing.

Treating Taiwan like just another nation threatens to upend decades of delicate diplomacy, a fact Trump seemed to acknowledge when he confirmed on Twitter that he received the call: "The President of Taiwan CALLED ME today to wish me congratulations on winning the Presidency. Thank you!"

Nothing in that tweet would appear controversial to the American public. But the U.S. is extremely careful to distinguish between its official relationship with China and unofficial relationship with Taiwan. There appears to be no record of an American president or president-elect speaking to a Taiwanese president since the U.S. switched in 1979 from recognizing Taiwan to recognizing Beijing as the government of China. Referring in public to Taiwan's "president" was an extra poke in the eye to Beijing, which "lodged solemn representations" with Washington over the call - that's diplomatic-speak for venting mighty anger.

Trump showed similar cheek in a call with Pakistan's prime minister. He expressed giddy optimism about relations (Pakistan is a "fantastic" country full of "fantastic" people), though the U.S. has big problems with Pakistan's behavior, notably spotty cooperation in the fight against terrorism.

Goodness, what's next? Mr. President-elect, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is on line 2.

From Trump's perspective, there is shrewdness to the showmanship. Supporters love it when he talks like Frank Sinatra singing "My Way." He won their hearts promising a tough, common-sense approach. These phone calls send the message that he'll be as different as possible from President Barack Obama, whom detractors lambasted for appearing equivocal or appeasing in the face of adversaries.

Trump also has a pet peeve about America seeming too deliberate and predictable in its actions. Why announce negotiating positions, he wondered during the campaign? Why spell out military strategy in advance? Better to keep the world guessing about American intentions because that's the secret to negotiating good deals. He likely figures putting Beijing off balance adds to U.S. bargaining power over issues such as trade or freedom of navigation in the South China Sea.

The risk with that approach comes with the stakes. If Pakistan's government thinks Trump is in its corner, that could affect how Pakistani leaders manage tense relations with India. Which, in turn, could cause the Indians to react in unforeseen ways that ratchet up tension. The same is true, writ larger, for China: Diplomatic gamesmanship over Taiwan could have real-world military consequences, because China has threatened to invade Taiwan if it ever officially declares independence.

Yes, government officials worldwide can focus too much on the pieties of diplomacy: "What savory canapes at the French ambassador's reception!"

But the larger point of diplomacy is to manage relationships in ways that promote cooperation and paper over differences to mitigate the chances of conflict. Diplomacy is a game best played with quiet nuance by deep thinkers. That's why the Washington experts dropped their monocles in the soup when they heard Trump had spoken with Taiwan's president. Messing with the carefully tended status quo can have repercussions. Cautious behavior may look timid, but it also can prevent surprises - and startling, even menacing, reactions.

Trump is still not president. He hasn't named a secretary of state. Once in office, he may lead the country in new directions on global issues. That will be his prerogative.

Once inaugurated, Trump's in command. He either embraces the art of diplomacy, or the country buckles up for a bumpy ride.

How blue is Illinois, really?

Let's take a look at the certified results of the Nov. 8 election that were released Monday by the Illinois State Board of Elections and crunch some numbers.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton won 55.8 percent of the overall vote, and 59 percent head to head against Republican Donald Trump if you don't figure in the third-party votes.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Tammy Duckworth won 54.7 percent of the overall vote, and 58 percent head to head against Republican incumbent Mark Kirk.

Democratic state comptroller candidate Susana Mendoza won a 49.5 percent plurality of the overall vote, and 52.7 percent head to head against Republican incumbent Leslie Geissler Munger.

Democrats, represented by the color blue on conventional political maps, won 10 of 18 races - 55.6 percent - for the U.S. House of Representatives. Democrats won 54 percent of the major-party votes cast for U.S. House candidates statewide. Four of those races weren't contested. In the 14 districts in which a Democrat and a Republican appeared on the ballot, Democrats won nine of the races (64 percent) along with 56 percent of the votes cast for a major party candidate.

Democrats won 67 of 118 races - 56.8 percent - in the Illinois House, for a net loss of four seats. Democrats won 54 percent of all major party votes cast in Illinois House races.

Democrats won 26 of 40 races for the Illinois Senate - 65 percent - where roughly two-thirds of the seats were up. Democrats won 59.5 percent of all major-party votes cast in Illinois Senate races, and despite a net loss of two seats maintain a 37-to-22 overall advantage - a veto-proof 62.7 percent of the seats - in that chamber.

In this light, Illinois is almost blindingly blue, despite the geographical split that had Trump winning 91 of 102 counties, mostly downstate.

But an overall purple tint begins to emerge when you break out results for the state legislative races in districts that were contested, meaning districts where voters actually had a choice between Democratic and Republican candidates.

In the 47 state House districts in which a Democrat and Republican appeared on the November ballot, Democrats won just 50.6 percent of the votes cast for a major-party candidate and won only 22 of those races (46.8 percent).

In the 13 state Senate districts in which a Democrat and Republican appeared on the ballot, Republicans won 51.5 percent of the vote but won only six of those races (46.2 percent).

The discordance isn't as significant as it was in the November 2014 election when Democrats won 60 percent of state House races with just 50.6 percent of the votes and 58 percent of state Senate races with only 45.6 percent of votes.

But the results continue to suggest what critics of our partisan political maps have long maintained, that the state is far more closely divided than indicated by the Democratic legislative majorities (to review, Democrats will have 55.6 percent of the seats in the next U.S House delegation, 56.8 percent in the next Illinois House and 62.7 percent in the next Illinois Senate).

The results further indicate that voters like to have a choice. Out of 5.67 million total ballots cast, 5.54 million voted in the presidential race, 5.49 million in the U.S. Senate race and 5.41 million in the comptroller's race. Each was contested statewide.

But only 4.83 million voters made a pick for state House, where fewer than half of the races were contested.

We already know that presidential elections bring people to the polls. Voter turnout was 70.56 percent this year, compared with the 49.18 percent turnout for the general election in November 2014. () In raw numbers, that's nearly 2 million more Illinois voters in 2016 than 2014.

What we don't know from these final results is who those 2 million voters were. You can make a case that they leaned slightly Democratic, as the smaller turnout two years ago benefited the Republicans - GOP businessman Bruce Rauner beat incumbent Gov. Pat Quinn by 142,284 votes, 3.9 percentage points, and incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin won with 53.6 percent of the vote, a slightly smaller percentage than challenger Duckworth won.

But that off-year benefit doesn't yet look significant enough that it will change Illinois' overall hue for the 2018 election, at which Rauner will likely stand for re-election.

Is it too soon talk about 2018? Alas, no. Candidate filing deadlines for the 2018 primaries are less than a year away. The jockeying and posturing that makes it so hard for politicians to make the tough decisions that need to be made has already begun.

That ought to make us all feel blue.

Leroy Barber grew up in rural New London, Wis., hunting and fishing with two of his brothers. He enlisted in the Navy, trained at the Great Lakes facility north of Chicago and was assigned to a battleship. Barber enjoyed being a sailor, missed his brothers and advised them to join up. The Navy made an exception to its rule against putting family members on one boat - a decision their father sought to reverse - but America was not at war, and Hawaii was about as far from Europe's fighting as you could get.

That's how the Barber boys, Malcolm, 22, Leroy, 21 and Randolph, 19, came to serve together as firemen on the USS Oklahoma.
