Brown, Hallie Q.
|DR. SUSAN S. (McKINNEY) STEWARD -- Born, Brooklyn, N. Y., 1848 -- Died, Wilberforce, Ohio, 1918
The life story of the subject of this sketch is the unvarnished narration of a full fruitful finished career. Its unfolding is ample refutation of vile slanders that like deadly up as branches have again and again cast blighting shadows over the contingent of American women with whom she was identified by race extraction. It is also a confirmation of the latter day contention that woman can succeed and in strictly conventional fashion, in any endeavor which appeals to her upon which she concentrates attention and in the prosecution of normal conditions, thus furnishing a practical example of women alert enough to apprehend the privileges and comprehend the responsibilities that are at once the glory and the burden of womanhood.
One among the countless host of young women, obscure though ambitious, Susan Smith grew till physically and mentally she attained a harmonious maturity. At the time of her translation she had loomed up a conspicuous figure among even the exceptional women of her day and rank. She laid down mortality crowned with the success that is the legitmate result of intelligent, applied, strenuous activity.
The importance of the doctor's life history is enhanced by the stress of that extraordinary period of awakening on the part of women during which she lived. It was then that women were beginning to select their own life plans instead of tacitly accepting those arranged for them; when
What induced Susan Smith to choose a medical profession cannot be difinitely stated; this is to be regretted for it would be highly interesting to trace her process of thought from the initial suggestion to the final conclusion. A sentiment is cherished by her family as one of the influences that, subconsciously it may have been, directed her natural bent toward a life of service. Upon an invalid neice she lavished the tenderest care in a sympathetic attempt to lessen the suffering of one afflicted in earliest youth. In this ministry of affection she was probably influenced to decide upon what later proved to be her proper place among the world's workers. Whatever the impelling cause the result amply verified the wisdom of her decision.
A woman who today enters upon professional life does a casual ordinary thing; it was vastly different a half century ago. The bugbear of that period was the fear that a woman would unsex herself. Only level headed, self reliant, determined women then ventured upon a course of action certain to elicit unfriendly criticism, likely to induce disparagement if not alienation.
It must be conceded that "our women" have always striven to keep abreast of the times; none have been more progressive, more aggressive. Whenever and wherever they have entered the arena of competition, while they have met equals, they have never been forced to retire before superiors. It is therefore more gratifying than surprising to find Miss Smith no exception in this respect. She studied at the New York Medical School for Women and Children and concluded an arduous course with success and distinction. The faculty gracefully recognized her merit by choosing her to be the valedictorian of her class, the strongest one then sent out.
Then followed a post graduate course at the Long
She commenced practice in her native city. Business grew slowly but steadily and experience kept apace. Certain endowments of temper and temperament helped to abridge the probationary period, and in a few years she became a popular, properous family physician. Friends became patrons with growing confidence in her skill and devotion; strangers having solicited her services remained clients upon realizing she was capable and reliable. Her practice was unrestricted by race or sex discrimination and consultations brought her in frequent contact with leading New York practitioners. At the zenith of her Brooklyn career she maintained consulting offices in two widely separate sections. During this period she became the wife of the late Rev. Wm. G. McKinney. Her professional obligations were not less satisfactorily discharged by the addition of the duties of the home maker. Two children survive her, a son, Rev. William S. McKinney of Saint Stephens P. E. Church, Jamaica, L. I., and Mrs. James Carty, one of Brooklyn's successful school teachers.
The doctor had a talent for music; this she cultivated making is a source of both pleasure and profit. She studied under John Zundel, of Plymouth Church, and for years was organist and choirmaster in the Bridge Street African Methodist Church.
Dr. McKinney was a model of an "all around" woman; trained to routine in business, as a manager of a home, she pursued a plan in which the results of system in the economy of thought and strength were apparent; she succeeded in becoming an animating influence in her family circle, and adequately performed her social duties. She
The doctor was an active member of the Kings County Homeopathic Society and a close student of the history of the rise and progress of women in medicine. In a monograph she pathetically wrote: "The earliest women physicians, a noble band of heroic, energetic women, through discouragements deep and dark, by hard work and with personal sacrifice, opened up the road of opportunity to the great army of women who are now following in the footsteps of their pioneer sisters."
The same article contains an eloquent tribute to the "beloved physician" who was to all her pupils, friend as well as preceptor. "Dr. Clemence Lozier was a most remarkable type of noble, energetic womanhood. She was firm though generous; kind though judicious; she attached very closely to her those fortunate enough to receive training under supervision. The college founded by this Christian lady is said to be the best women's college in the world to-day."
After Dr. McKinney became Dr. Steward by a second marriage to Rev. T. G. Steward, a former Chaplain in the United States Army and a professor at Wilberforce University, Brooklyn ceased to be her place of residence though it never ceased to be her home in the broader sense of the term. Her identification with it has survived her decease.
Any account of women in medicine would be incomplete without reference to Dr. Steward, any record of "our women" would be unfinished, lacking a resume of the salient points of her character. Her message to the world is, that no normal woman should neglect to seek opportunity for self-betterment. To women specially she has left the valuable bequest of the power and courage of an illustrious example. "To our women," the Colored Women of America, her eloquent though mute advice is, to take stock of resources
The manner of passing out of earthly existence is by no means of necessity an index how one has passed through it, yet the "ceasing to be" is occasionally in marvellous correspondence with what one has been. Her change from "activity to repose" was singularly befitting a person of the doctor's orderly ways and methodical habits. Never disabled by bodily infirmity or wasted by protracted sickness, with her life mortal blended almost imperceptibly with the life immortal. By some this co-called "sudden death" is regarded only as a ready willing response to the call of the Master, "Arise, my love and come away!"

MONTREAL — As the crack of explosions broke the early-morning quiet and clouds of black smoke billowed above Lac-Mégantic on July 6, millions of litres of crude oil gushed along the ground.
Some of the oil fuelled the raging fire that erupted after a72-car train derailed, blazing through Lac-Mégantic and eventually making its way to the surface of the lake that gives the town its name. Some of the oil evaporated in the fires that burned for two days, creating a plume of smoke that spread east toward the U.S. border. And some of the oil — hundreds of thousands of litres of it — flooded the manholes around the crash site, overwhelming the town's sewer system.
In the chaotic days after the accident, as emergency workers first searched for survivors and then, their remains, it wasn't clear what impact the derailment had on the environment.
But six months after the accident, a more detailed picture is emerging about the oil carried in the derailed train, how and where it spilled, and the efforts made to try to stop it from causing widespread environmental damage in the town and nearby lake and river.
The Montreal Maine & Atlantic Railway train that derailed in Lac-Mégantic was carrying 7.6 million litres of crude oil. Of the 72 cars in the train, only nine did not spill any of their contents. Nearly 6 million litres of oil spilled out of the other cars that night.
The catastrophic accident caused damage as far as half a kilometre from the crash site in the heart of downtown Lac-Mégantic, according to a report on soil contamination prepared for the Quebec government. Oil spread even farther — more than 100 kilometres downstream on the nearby Chaudière River.
Some of the oil — it's not clear how much — fuelled the ensuing fire that swept through the downtown core, destroying 40 buildings and the urban infrastructure in its path. The fire melted siding on buildings, destroyed cars, razed houses and businesses, twisted metal fences and left burned trees devoid of any leaves in it wake.
As the oil burned, contaminants — including benzene, toluene, ethylene, xylene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds — were released, air-quality testing showed.
A small amount of oil evaporated without being burned, according to the 853-page soil-contamination report prepared by Montreal-based Golder Associates.
Quebec's Environment Department said most of the spilled oil burned, though it can't quantify the amount.
But "hundreds of thousands" of litres of oil emptied out onto the ground, the Golder report said.
It spilled into the streets, rushing toward the manhole covers near the crash site, and deluging Lac-Mégantic's sewer system. The bowl-like shape of Lac-Mégantic allowed the oil to converge downtown, the Golder report said.
Burning oil made its way by land toward the lake, the inferno cracking rocks along the shoreline. Strong winds blew the burning oil back toward the rocky shoreline and the town's Parc des Vétérans.
Blazing oil swept through the sewer system, reaching the town's water-treatment centre and emptying into the lake and nearby Chaudière River. Emergency workers tried desperately to stop the oil from travelling through the sewers to the lake and river, closing off parts of the sewer network and storm drains to prevent the oil from draining farther downhill to the two waterways, the Golder report said.
Oil was pumped out of the sewers to prevent it from spreading and to stop it from reversing toward the buildings. Steps were also taken to prevent it from emptying into the stormwater drains in the impact zone.
In the five days after the accident, emergency crews worked to stop any remaining oil from spilling out of the tanker cars and installed more than three kilometres of booms containing absorbent products along the Chaudière, around the Lac-Mégantic marina, and along the shoreline near Parc des Vétérans.
Despite their efforts, oil found its way to the river. Samples taken a week after the crash in Charny, a town 130 kilometres from Lac-Mégantic, showed the presence of compounds found in crude oil.
Because of toxic fumes — the volatile portions of some of the components of crude oil, including benzene and toluene — some workers were not able to work in the area around the crash site in the days after the accident. Air quality in the area returned to acceptable levels by July 10, four days after the accident, Quebec's Environment Department said.
It was only about two weeks after the accident that environmental cleanup companies were allowed into the zone where the train crashed to begin digging trenches to collect oil, to pump out oil and contaminated water, and to begin to evaluate the volume and extent of the spill.
On July 24, work began to determine which buildings in the town had been contaminated during the accident, and what steps should be taken to deal with them.
Sampling and testing done during the summer found oil in the soil, and in the gravel and soil located around underground infrastructure such as building foundations and sewer pipes. The area with the most contaminated soil — about 69,000 cubic metres, enough to fill 27.5 Olympic-size swimming pools — was around the crash site itself, the Golder report said.
Most of the oil that made its way to the lake and river went through the sewer network and the soil around the pipes, said Jean-François Ouellet of the Environment Department. A significant portion of the oil that has been collected since the accident came from the town's sewer system, he said.
Another area of soil contamination in Lac-Mégantic was where the fire burned. There, an estimated 12,000 to 22,000 cubic metres of soil is contaminated, the Golder report said.
About one-third of the soil that will have to be decontaminated is around the sewer pipes and building foundations, along the shore in Parc des Vétérans, and in two other areas of the town, the report said.
Since the accident, about 1,200 soil samples have been analyzed, along with 127 water and liquid samples taken from 24 collection sites in Lac-Mégantic, the report said.
Oil was found in several areas, including in collection trenches that were dug near the crash site and burned zones, as well as in recovery wells near the gravel around sewer pipes, and near the lakeshore. The report said large pools of oil were not found in underground water, probably due to the low permeability of the clay soil in the area.
Glycols and other chemicals used to fight the fires were also found in the soil samples in the area around the crash site and the burned part of downtown, the report said.
Some of the soil samples found high levels of sulphur in the surface layer of soil in the zone around the crash site, but it wasn't clear if that was because of industrial activity that had previously taken place in the area, or if it was due to the spilled oil, the report said.
By the end of October, 75,000 cubic metres of soil had been excavated from Lac-Mégantic and moved to a storage and treatment site that had been built about two kilometres outside town. The province wants soil decontamination work to begin by the end of March, with all the soil decontaminated or stored by mid-December.
Quebec's Environment Department said that some of that soil, once decontaminated, might be returned to Lac-Mégantic if it meets the province's highest standards for contaminated soil rehabilitation.
Soil that is not returned to Lac-Mégantic will have to be disposed of at an authorized site, the Environment Department said. All the soil removed from Lac-Mégantic that is not returned to the town must be decontaminated and disposed of within three years of the contract for the work being signed.
The Environment Department said the soil decontamination work alone could cost between $75 million and $100 million.
As for the two waterways affected by the accident, 600 samples have been taken from Lake Mégantic and the Chaudière River, the Environment Department said. Although the level of contamination has decreased since the summer, some parts of the river are still contaminated.
While some environmental groups have called on the government to dredge the bottom of the river to remove oil from the riverbed, cleanup operations are instead being done in targeted areas. That's to prevent irreparable damage to the river ecosystem, the Environment Department said. More than 600 samples of sand and pebbles have been collected in order to assess the ongoing cleanup operations and identify areas where pollutants may have collected, Ouellet said. He noted that analyzing the river sediment samples is a complex process, but the department expects to have final reports by March.
During the winter, a committee will review the effectiveness of the work that has been done on the river, and devise a river-management plan by spring. That plan will address the long-term effects of the oil spill on the water, fish and other wildlife in the river, and monitor the effect spring thaws could have on oil in the riverbed, Ouellet said.
While a few dead fish and birds were found after the derailment, the Environment Department said there was little effect on flora and fauna in the area. To monitor the long-term impact on wildlife and plants, the department collected fish from the river during the fall and will test them in the coming months, Ouellet said.
The oil that's in the soil, along the lakeshore and on the bottom of the Chaudière River, began its journey to Quebec 2,700 kilometres away, in North Dakota. The product of several different wells in North Dakota's Bakken oilfields, the crude was on its way to an Irving refinery in St. John, N.B., when the train derailed in Lac-Mégantic.
Tests done on oil samples taken by Canada's Transportation Safety Board from nine of the tanker cars that did not leak found the crude was more volatile — and more explosive — than conventional crude oil. The "fierce fire" and violent explosions that followed the derailment were "abnormal" for crude oil, according to TSB investigators.
Questions have been raised about whether the crude had higher-than-usual levels of hydrogen sulphide or benzene, both highly flammable. Some Bakken oil has been found to have extremely high levels of hydrogen sulphide.
On Monday, another oil train carrying crude oil crashed and burst into flames in North Dakota, with explosions that looked very similar to those in Lac-Mégantic.
The TSB initially analyzed the oil samples only to determine its flash point and boiling point, said TSB spokesperson Julie Leroux. Other analysis of the samples is ongoing, as is the crash investigation, she said.
"It would be irresponsible to release information piecemeal," Leroux said. "All tests must be analyzed and I can assure you our comprehensive investigation report will address all aspects of the accident."
Leroux said she could not say when the TSB report will be completed. The last time the TSB provided new information from its investigation was in September.
While a clearer picture is beginning to emerge of the extent of the oil contamination in Lac-Mégantic, many questions remain unanswered. Even six months after the accident, it's not clear how much oil made its way into the ground, the lake and the river and how much has been recovered in cleanup operations.
Quebec's Environment Department has estimated 100,000 litres of oil spilled into the Chaudière River. While the department said that 457,500 litres of oil had been collected from the oily water pumped from Lake Mégantic by July 22, it is unsure how much oil was in the 46 million litres of oily water that has been pumped out of the lake and river since the accident.
The oil from the train cars that did not spill during the accident was collected by Irving, Ouellet said, and the rest was taken to disposal sites in Ontario and Nova Scotia.
While the crash itself was over in a matter of seconds, the cleanup is expected to take months, and possibly even years. The Quebec government estimates that restoring Lac-Mégantic to pre-accident condition will cost at least $200 million. Ottawa has pledged to pay $95 million.
Quebec has ordered six companies — including Canadian Pacific and MMA — to assume the cleanup costs, which the government is paying. Because that order is being challenged in court, the Environment Department said it could not say how much the cleanup has cost so far.

Quick; name a post-war, air-cooled, rear-engined BMW without the twin-kidney grill. Most pistonheads would answer, "Isetta." And they wouldn't be wrong. However, true Deutschaphiles will shout, "700!" And they couldn't be more right. After the tragic failures (from a sales standpoint) of the upscale 502, 503 and 507 models, BMW was forced to build dorktastic rolling eggs like the Isetta and subsequent 600. Yes, yes, those cars were cute, but as far from the ultimate driving machine as President Bush is from reality. All that changed in 1961 with the release of the 700. Learn more/make the jump.
BMW hired stud-designer Giovanni Michelotti, creator of such unbridled radness as the Triumph TR4 and the DAF 55 to save their weisswurst. Mr. Michelotti penned a little coupe that was not only fun to look at, but that set the stage for the vehicles which would come to define Bavarian Bruce, the 2002 and the icon-a-rific 3-series. Most importantly, people loved to race the 700s, re-establishing BMW's winning reputation for the first time since the 328 Mille Maglia. Even cooler, 19 special RS editions were built, and while the donor car's cutesiness was lost in the transformation, the resulting racecars were piloted by the likes of Hans Stuck and Jacky Ickx. Finally, the 697cc motorcycle engine out back might just be the very best of all possible candidates for the Jalopnik-endorsed Hayabusa-swap.
These two open-topped oddballs are the much coveted RS models doing what they do best. i.e, climbing hills and kicking ass. Please note how the back-bonnet is lifted for better cooling. So precise!

OTTAWA — The Conservative government announced Friday it will no longer be a champion of asbestos on the world stage, effectively conceding the end of the asbestos industry in Quebec with a promise of up to $50 million to diversify the economy of the mining communities.
Industry Minister Christian Paradis, who represents a riding at the heart of Quebec's asbestos mining region, said he didn't want to abandon the industry, but said Parti Quebecois leader Pauline Marois left Ottawa no choice. During the summer campaign, Marois, who is now premier-designate of Quebec, promised to cancel an $58-million government loan to revive the Jeffrey Mine, signalling the end to Quebec's long history of asbestos production.e
The federal government's policy change of heart, unveiled in Thetford Mines by the government's Quebec lieutenant, means Canada will no longer block international efforts, through the United Nations' Rotterdam Convention, to place limits on the export of asbestos.
"It would be illogical for Canada to oppose the inclusion of chrysotile (asbestos) in Annex III of the Rotterdam Convention when Quebec, the only province that produces chrysotile, will prohibit its exploitation," Paradis told reporters, saying it was clear the decision Marois is final, so it wasn't a time for "academic" consultations.
"Our region will have to live with the consequences of Mrs. Marois' decision, but we will continue to work together on the continued economic development of the community," added Paradis.
Until now, the Canadian government, under both the Liberals and the Conservatives, has supported the industry by blocking the listing of chrysotile asbestos as a hazardous material on Annex III of the UN convention.
Materials listed on this annex require Prior Informed Consent (PIC) — meaning that before countries export the goods listed on it, they must inform importers of the risks and precautionary measures for safe handling, to which importers must consent. Because the convention operates by consensus, any one country can block a listing simply by objecting.
At the most recent international meeting in June 2011, the Canadian delegation remained silent during the proceedings until consensus was emerging to list the deadly fibre as hazardous. After India and Ukraine indicated they could support the listing, the Canadian delegation spoke up to say Canada objected.
The head of the delegation acknowledged that the guidance document of the UN's scientific panel, which included its recommendation to list chrysotile asbestos on Annex III of the convention, was "appropriate and the criteria for listing was met." But Canada was not in a position to support the listing, the delegation told the world.
NDP MP Pat Martin, who has been fighting to ban asbestos mining since he was first elected in 1997, said Canada's about-face is the right thing to do, but called the announcement "a missed opportunity on the minister's part. He would have got great credit had he said simply, 'You know what, asbestos kills and we're no longer going to prop up and support this deadly industry.' Instead, he's blaming Marois for killing these jobs," Martin, a former miner, said.
"It's a cowardly way out of it and to do it on a Friday afternoon says that they're not entirely comfortable with their position."
Internal records released to Postmedia News earlier this year show the federal government acknowledged years ago that the dangers of chrysotile asbestos warranted limits on exports, but still fought against international restrictions over the past decade.
The government's announcement on Friday follows a reversal of fortune for the industry.
Last November, production halted at the country's two asbestos mines, in the Quebec towns of Thetford Mines and Asbestos, for the first time in 130 years. At that time, there were fewer than 500 mining jobs left in Quebec, a huge drop from a generation ago.
Between 1979 and 1984, a worldwide recession and a growing scientific consensus linking asbestos exposure to cancer led to a dramatic reduction in industry revenues — to $400 million a year from about $800 million — and a drop in Canadian jobs to 4,000 from about 8,000.
After the suspension of production last November, a consortium in Asbestos announced negotiations with the Quebec government were ongoing for a $58-million loan guarantee to open an underground mine at the Jeffrey Mine and export the mineral to developing countries.
The PQ promised in the final days of the recent election campaign that if it formed government, it would cancel the loan and invest the money in economic diversification for the asbestos-producing region.
Martin said Friday's development in Canada should have ripple effects around the world.
"Let's face it, the jig is up for the asbestos industry and this could well be the death rattle of the global trade of asbestos. The international asbestos cartel has been dining out on Canada's boy scout image for decades by saying that, 'Look, if a nice country like Canada thinks it can be handled safely, then we should believe them.' That's been a huge benefit to the asbestos pedlars around the world."

Abstract and Keywords
Until the 1950s, the distribution of land in Bolivia, as in the rest of Latin America, was very unequal. But in 1953, a year after the 1952 national revolution, the nationalist revolutionary movement (MNR) enacted a decree on agrarian reform that dismantled feudal haciendas in the western highlands, abolished the system of forced peasant labor, and distributed expropriated lands to peasants. While the decree proved redistributive in the Altiplano and valleys, it ended up creating new concentrations of land in Bolivia's eastern lowlands. This area, which constituted two thirds of Bolivia's territory, was home to a number of indigenous groups who were displaced from their lands because of the expansion of latifundio in the second half of the 20th century. In 1996, after pressure from below, the neoliberal government of Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada (1993–1997) approved a new agrarian law that recognized indigenous rights to collective territory (Tierra Comunitaria de Origen, TCO). In 2006, left-leaning President Evo Morales approved a new agrarian law. Although the new legislation mostly ratified the 1996 law, it established that only indigenous and peasant populations could be granted state lands. Despite this legislation claiming to protect the majority Indian and peasant population, scholars such as Colque, Tinta, and Sanjines note that it was under a neoliberal government, between 1996 to 2006, that much of the process of land distribution favored to indigenous groups of the lowlands, and it was under left-leaning President Evo Morales (from 2010 to the present [2018]) that much of land distribution favored medium and agricultural enterprises. The most important clash between the self-proclaimed indigenous Evo Morales and lowland indigenous groups was in September 2011 when indigenous groups living in the National Park and Indigenous Territory Isiboro Sécure (TIPNIS) protested against the government's unilateral decision to build a road through their territory. Since 2011 (up to the present, 2018) the tension and political distance between president Morales and his loyal coca-leaf grower supporters—many of whom live on the borders of the park and are invested on the construction of the road—versus the indigenous groups of the lowlands have only grown. Ironically, it seems to be under Morales that key indigenous rights such as the right to prior consultation or the right to consolidate territories (TCOs) seem to be at the most risk.

Has the mystery of Clintonville's bizarre booming sounds been solved? If scientists are to be believed, the cause of the noisy phenomenon is a "swarm of microquakes."
"The mystery is solved. We have experienced an earthquake here in Clintonville," City Administrator Lisa Kuss told residents at a city meeting last night. The USGS backed up its "claim" with "evidence" showing that a 1.5 magnitude earthquake struck the central Wisconsin city around noon on Tuesday.
Residents, who began hearing strange rumbles this past Sunday, challenged the city's explanation, saying quakes had previously been ruled out. Kuss admits that it was "by fluke" that the USGS's traveling portable arrays happened to be in the area when the tremors occurred.
For now, this is the best answer the city has to give, though officials acknowledge they aren't sure it's the only answer, so Graboids are very much still on the table.

Thread: Cooking for someone with GERD
#1 Cooking for someone with GERD07-31-2011, 12:54 PM
Preparing GERD-friendly meals is perhaps the first and most important defense against the painful symptoms of acid reflux. When cooking for someone who suffers from GERD, it's important to familiarize yourself with the foods that are most likely to trigger acid production and then select recipes that avoid those ingredients. Common aggravators such as tomato products, fried and fatty foods, chocolate, whole-fat dairy, mints, citrus, and alcohol should be strictly limited or avoided entirely. But even healthy, low-acid foods can provoke stomach distress when cooked in fat or doused with certain spices. For a more complete list of foods to eliminate or avoid, see Everyday Health's article on trigger foods.
Because certain cooking methods can lead to an overproduction of gastrin, the hormone that stimulates the production of stomach acid, changing the way you prepare and cook meals can dramatically reduce the severity and frequency of heartburn. Here are some ideas and cooking techniques to keep that burning sensation at bay, and to keep you and the rest of your family healthy too.
Cut the Fat
- Trim any visible fat and skin off meat, and try to avoid meats that are generally higher in overall fat, such as beef and duck.
- Limit or avoid the use of oils and butter.
- When browning ground beef, drain the fat from the pan before adding other ingredients.
Skip the Frying Pan and Try a Healthier Method
- Roasting or broiling meat, fish, and poultry eliminates the need for added fats.
- Braising foods in a slow cooker with just a small amount of liquid over low heat produces moist, full-flavored dishes.
- Steaming and poaching will keep the fat content low while maintaining the natural flavor of your food.
- Use chicken, vegetable, or mushroom broth to keep foods moist and flavorful.
- If you must sauté or panfry, reach for a spray-on oil to minimize fat. These are available in a variety of flavors, such as olive oil and butter.
- Purchase a good wok and learn to stir-fry. A little bit of oil goes a long way when you stir-fry vegetables and meat.
Substitutions Can Be the Key to Keeping Favorite Recipes
- Try ground turkey instead of ground beef, chicken sausage instead of pork sausage.
- For baking, applesauce can be used in place of oil or butter, and egg whites used instead of whole eggs.
- Cream sauces don't have to be a thing of the past.
- Replace the cream with evaporated milk or nonfat yogurt, or try 1 percent milk whisked together with a teaspoon or two of flour (cook a few minutes until thickened).
Portion Control
Large servings can contribute to reflux. Prepare and serve the GERD patient just enough for a healthful portion. Three ounces of fish or meat is considered a reasonable portion, which is about the size of a deck of cards. One cup of potatoes, vegetables, rice, or pasta looks like a tennis ball, and a serving of bread is one slice, a small bagel (the size of your fist), or half of a large bagel. Always check the recommended serving size on packaged foods, and use a measuring cup until you're able to determine the correct serving by eye.
Your favorite family recipes don't have to be filed away for good. With a few changes and tweaks, most dishes can be prepared in a way that will satisfy everyone and still minimize reflux. Remember, many of these techniques are good for everyone's health and are not only heartburn friendly but heart healthy too.

She also has Barrett's esophagus caused by GERD...
A bit of research on Prilosec...
My doctor prescribed prilosec about 3 months ago for what he feels is Acid Reflux (Gerd?) Is this drug safe to take over an extended period of time?
Prilosec/ aka Omeprazole
Omeprazole (INN) ( /omprzol/) is a proton pump inhibitor used in the treatment of dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease (PUD), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD/GERD), laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Omeprazole is one of the most widely prescribed drugs internationally and is available over the counter in some countries.
Proton pump inhibitors may be associated with a greater risk of fractures (Note a) and Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea
Note a:^ Yang YX, Lewis JD, Epstein S, Metz DC (2006). "Long-term proton pump inhibitor therapy and risk of hip fracture".....^ Targownik LE, Lix LM, Metge CJ, Prior HJ, Leung S, Leslie WD (August 2008). "Use of proton pump inhibitors and risk of osteoporosis-related fractures"

Kent County Sheriff Detectives have been investigating numerous business burglaries and recovered a large amount of stolen property on Sunday, September 11. The thefts occurred in Muskegon, Ottawa, and Kent Counties and have been occurring for weeks. The businesses range from hydroponics to computer repair and video rental stores.
Investigators served a search warrant on the suspect's residence on the northwest side of Grand Rapids on Sunday morning. The suspect was taken into custody while he sat at the trunk of his car sorting through hundreds of video games that completely filled his trunk. Detectives are now sorting through the property to identify victims of the thefts and return the merchandise.
Thomas Andrew Hathaway, 27, was arrested and charged with three separate accounts of Breaking and Entering a building. Bond was set at $50,000 on each charge.

Latest Nutrition, Food & Recipes News
(HealthDay News) -- Eating foods with less added sugar can lead to a healthier smile, especially among children, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says.
The group offers this advice:
- Limit how often you snack. The carbs in many foods may combine with mouth bacteria to damage teeth -- 20 minutes or more after you've finished eating.
- Enjoy a well-balanced variety of healthy snacks, such as raw fruits and veggies, popcorn, low-fat cheese, plain yogurt and milk.
- Avoid sugar-rich foods and beverages that take time to dissolve in your mouth, such as hard candies and sugary drinks.
- After snacking, brush your teeth.

New Chair Elected to the NEA Student Program
Tennessee State University student to lead NEA student members
WASHINGTON - July 01, 2008 -Hundreds of students from across the country elected Jermaine Coleman, a Tennessee State University student from Atlanta, Ga., to serve as the chairperson of the NEA Student Program. Coleman was elected to the two-year term during the "Shakin' Up the Political Landscape" Student Leadership Conference, which was held June 26-29, in Washington, D.C.
"I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time," said Coleman. "It is true what they say, 'It's passion that persuades,' and I have never been more passionate about anything in my life! I look forward to working with the NEA Student Program and keeping the ball rolling."
Coleman is currently pursuing a degree in music education. After his term as NEA Student Program chairperson, he plans on attending the University of Nevada Las Vegas to pursue a master's degree in administration supervision. Before being elected to the Student Program, Coleman served as the Student Tennessee Education Association president.
"When you see the excitement and commitment Jermaine has for children and public education, you know that he will accomplish a lot during his term," said NEA President Reg Weaver. "He will continue the great work of the NEA Student Program and will be a remarkable leader for our future educators."
Coleman will be based in NEA's downtown Washington, D.C., office where he will be immersed in learning about education policy, advocacy and leadership. During his two years as NEA Student Program chairperson, he will benefit from regular access to NEA's robust staff of leading authorities in the field of education, as well as access to NEA's renowned library of education resources.
Coleman's term will begin on August 2, 2008. Upon hearing that he was elected, Coleman remarked to his fellow student members, "I'm going to work hard with you. You all are going to work hard with me. And together we're going to get a lot accomplished in the next two years."
During the "Shakin' Up the Political Landscape" Student Leadership Conference, aspiring teachers took time out of their summer breaks to attend workshops and learning sessions designed to help them become more effective leaders in their student associations, as well as to become exceptional teachers when they graduate.
Each year, the student conference is held in conjunction with the NEA Annual Meeting and Representative Assembly where nearly 10,000 elected delegates convene to determine NEA leadership and governance matters.
Approximately 60,000 students from 900 colleges and universities across the nation enjoy the NEA Student Program's host of professional development resources, including participation in NEA's 3.2 million-member network of education professionals, access to scholarships that offset college tuition costs, grants to implement community outreach programs and insurance protection from work-related liabilities in schools.

As creditors including municipal bond holders worry about how to protect themselves from the impending bankruptcy of San Bernardino, Calif., separate account bond manager Asset Dedication is telling clients not to panic.
Steve Huxley, Asset Dedication's chief investment strategist and founding partner, says there will likely be panic selling in the coming days as San Bernardino makes its next move, deciding whether to file for Chapter 9 bankruptcy immediately or use the state's mediation process.
But investors needn't worry about losing their principal and interest because San Bernardino's bonds are insured. "A lot of investors don't exactly know how these things work," Huxley told AdvisorOne in an interview. "It's just not common knowledge" at the retail level that municipalities buy insurance against default, Huxley added. So as long as the insurer can pay, investors should remain calm.
Fears over municipal bond insurance would only be relevant in a scenario of cascading municipal defaults, of the kind the analyst Meredith Whitney has forecast. "It is a possibility that we could be seeing just the tip of the iceberg now, Huxley says. "I would say the probability of municipal Armageddon is in the 1 in 5 range; [Whitney's] probably at greater than 50%."
Even with a 20% chance of large-scale defaults, investors must be wondering what measure they can take to protect themselves. The first step, Huxley says, is awareness. "Although the tax-free element of munis is certainly beguiling, one has to be aware of the fact that some of these municipalities fail."
The solution, he says, is to buy only the highest quality, safest bonds obtainable. Huxley says the investment analysis should include the rating of the insured bond and also its underlying value—that is, the rating the bond would have if it were not insured.
Asset Dedication provides advisors with a retirement income strategy and creates calibrated bond ladders to ensure the advisors' clients will have the income they need in retirement.
San Bernardino, like Stockton, Calif.—the biggest U.S. city to declare bankruptcy so far—and other failed municipalities did not take in enough revenue to be able to meet its financial obligations, especially its costly payroll and pensions for police, firefighters and other city workers. Another shock was the revelation that San Bernardino city budget officials were not turning in honest numbers in 13 out of the past 16 years, showing surpluses when the budget was actually experiencing a deficit.
Huxley says San Bernardino, like many other municipalities and the state and federal government as well, simply "have to learn to spend less money. San Bernardino was trying to do that; they just didn't do it fast enough or deep enough."
The Asset Dedication founder says tax revenues won't pick up nationwide until an economic malaise similar to the one that bogged down the economy in Jimmy Carter's time lifts. The source of the malaise, he says, is bad advice the president is getting from "old-time Keynesians."
Huxley says the deepest source of current political-economic woes is gerrymandering. "They say 'politics is the art of compromise.' I think that art has been lost. Congressional districts have been gerrymandered so much that voters elect people that are hardened in their positions. If we let the chips fall where they may [in redistricting] there'd be compromise [and politicians would not] maintain their rigid positions."

Looks like there are some major Applescript changes to CS5, which is unwelcome for anyone with existing scripts. From what I can see, the difference (that affect me anyway) are
a) PSCS5 seems to dislike referring to files with "as alias" and removing this from my scripts helps them to work, whereas other apps need it, as did previous
b) apparently script support for referring to the currently document has changed. "if visible layer of current document is true then..." no longer works, nor do document 0, document 1, etc. Anyone know how to refer to the current document?
c) support for history doesn't seem to be there anymore. I cannot seem to use AS commands like, "set myState to history states as list" or "set current history state to history state newState" were awesome for my workflow, but are they impossible to achieve now?
d) One more. The important "set docref to make new document with properties {height: 150, width: 150}" is also broken. How would one make a new document in Applescript?

We've all heard the catch phrase "when the going gets tough, the tough get going." In the world of finance, change it to "when the going gets tough, the tough get product patents to kill the competition" and you'll have a pretty good idea of where Compass Efficient Model Portfolios is headed.
The Nashville-based firm announced in late May that it's launching five new CEMP volatility-weighted indexes calculated by Dow Jones Indexes. But that's only the start. Before summer is out, the firm plans to have launched another four alternative indexes, and then it will get to work launching nine mutual funds to track all those indexes. In fact, CEMP has 17 mutual funds in filing right now, and in addition to launching those, the firm has ambitions of getting into the exchange-traded fund business around the end of the year.
And don't forget the patent. Compass EMP Funds Chief Investment Officer Steve Hammers said Wednesday in an interview that due to the broad market enhancement of the CEMP Indexes, his firm's proprietary methodology is patent pending. (Serial No. 61/645,370, in case you're wondering).
"We've already got calls from ETF companies that are interested in licensing this with us," Hammers said. "It's a big deal in the marketplace that Dow Jones Indexes would want to publish our indexes."
What "this" is, is CEMP's indexing methodology that emphasizes a target weighting of different assets and asset classes by their riskiness and not by their performance or by their fundamentals.
"The core principal of CEMP Enhanced Indexing methodology is consistent earnings, and each index member receives an equal weighting on the basis of volatility," according to a CEMP white paper. "The net result is an index that faces the same amount of future uncertainty as a traditional market capweighted index or even a fundamental weighted index, but controls and distributes that uncertainty equally across the entire index rather than concentrating it to a small subset of the index."
For example, the CEMP U.S. Large Cap 500 Volatility Weighted Index (CEMPUSL) looks at a universe of 500 companies, screens it twice yearly, and includes only those companies that have seen positive earnings per share for each of the last four consecutive quarters.
"You've got to make money, otherwise you're not in the index," Hammers said, noting that the CEMPUSL's annual total return has beaten the S&P 500 Index in the last 10 of 11 years. The cap-weighted S&P 500 closed out at 2.11% in 2011 versus CEMPUSL's 3.94%.
There are skeptics, of course. It's bound to happen when a company releases a whole new pack of products and claims that they are "truly exceptional compared to traditional indexing," as Hammers says in a news release.
"The market is flush with new indices and related ETFs and index mutual funds that claim an edge over their predecessors," James Picerno wrote for Wealth Magazine in 2008, "Investors who agree can choose from a growing list of products tied to equity indices that distinguish themselves by shunning market-cap weighting."
Picerno pointed to Robert Arnott, chairman of Research Affiliates in Pasadena, Calif., who in 2005 along with two co-authors laid out a case for an equity index that weights stocks based on book value, sales, cash flow and dividends.
According to Richard Ciuba, senior director of America Sales for Dow Jones Indexes, there is an established market for index funds, either as mutual funds or ETFs, and DJI has been calculating, maintaining and publishing third-party indexes such as CEMP's for years. In the ETF arena alone, Ciuba said, there are about 1,400 ETFs, but DJI calculates 130,000 indexes.
"There are quite a few exchange-traded funds or index funds out there, but on the other hand, index providers calculate in the hundreds and thousands of indexes. Not every index ends up in an index fund," Ciuba said. "We act as a third-party index calculator for many external parties."
Best-known for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Dow Jones Indexes is part of a joint venture company owned 90% by CME Group and 10% by Dow Jones & Co., a News Corp. company.
Nevertheless, Compass EMP's plan this year to launch a slew of indexes, mutual funds and ETFs is a huge leap forward. The firm, a registered investment advisor established in 1996 by co-founders Hammers and Chairman David Moore, currently offers just three mutual funds along with investment portfolios to institutions, financial advisors and their clients.
Indeed, Compass EMP this spring created a new position, senior vice president of sales, for Todd Meucci, formerly with Hartford Funds and American Funds, and moved him to Tennessee from Connecticut so he could get started on introducing the investing world to the CEMP indexes and funds.
"Interesting," said Paul Weisbruch, vice president of ETF and options sales & trading at Street One Financial, headquartered in Huntington Valley, Pa., when told of Meucci's move. "Obviously, he sees the upside of the business there, probably the open-door potential of what he's doing."
Weisbruch, who is familiar with Compass EMP because of the firm's longevity in the RIA space, said he "strongly believes" that Compass EMP is first to market in terms of incorporating its volatility-weighted strategy in a registered investment company's 40 Act product.
"Its volatility strategy is new and innovative, and I haven't seen anything like this, especially around a mutual fund delivery vehicle," Weisbruch said. "But it doesn't shock me because there is a bevy of volatility-linked ETFs and ETNs [exchange-traded notes] out there at the moment in the marketplace. Three years ago, we just had VXX, and now we have close to two dozen volatility-based ETFs and ETNs. Advisors have more tools today than they did before."

Huli Wigman from the Southern Highlands, Painting of Tahitian Women on the Beach by Paul Gauguin
Many demographic models utilized in genetics are rather simple. Yet the expansion and retreat of various demes in post-Ice Age Europe seems to be far more complex than had previously been assumed, though I suspect part of the rationale for the original simplicity was a preference for theoretical parsimony in the face of a paucity of data. The landscapes traversed by our species are rich and topographically convoluted. Not only does the land vary, from plains, to deserts, to mountains, but the climate shifts radically over time and space. In the pre-modern age when humans were more dependent on environmental exigencies these fluxes in ecological and climatic parameters were essential in sharping the arc of human demographic expansion and contraction.
This is why a closer examination of the prehistory of Oceania is so appealing: here you have a physical geography which is radically constrained and so reduces the degrees of freedom of human movement and habitation. Unlike Europe, South Asia, or much of Africa, the time depth of the residence of the current indigenous inhabitants of Australia is on the order of 40 – 50,000 years. It seems likely that the indigenous people of the island of New Guinea to the north are from the same original settlement of Sahul, the ancient super-continent which consisted of New Guinea, Australia, and Tasmania. After the initial sweep out to the farthest reaches of what became Tasmania, there was a later push to the east of New Guinea, to the Solomon Islands,~30,000 years before the present. Then nothing for tens of thousands of years. The march of humanity seemed to stand still on the shores of the Solomons, just as the hominin lineage had once been cordoned off from Sahul by the forbidding seas between it and Sundaland, the Ice Age peninsula of Southeast Asia which was later submerged and became the western portion of Indonesia and Malaysia. The stasis was shocked by the Austronesians, a seafaring peoples who seem to have exploded out from somewhere between Borneo and Taiwan within the last 10,000 years, likely just on the margins of written history. The most famous of th Austronesian peoples are the Polynesians, who pushed across the Pacific, and likely even had some tentative contact with the New World. A less well known case is Madagascar, whose inhabitants speak an Austronesian language with clear affinities to a dialect of Borneo. The map below shows rough distribution of Austronesian peoples:
Austronesian expansion
Of particular interest for the purposes of this post is the expanse to the east: Melanesia and Polynesia, Near Oceania and Far Oceania. A new paper in Current Biology , Demographic History of Oceania Inferred from Genome-wide Data, examines the genetics of this region of the world in light of history utilizing a ~1 million marker SNP-chip:
We developed a new approach to account for SNP ascertainment bias, used approximate Bayesian computation simulations to choose the best-fitting model of population history, and estimated demographic parameters. We find that the ancestors of Near Oceanians diverged from ancestral Eurasians 27 thousand years ago (kya), suggesting separate initial occupations of both territories. The genetic admixture in Polynesian history between East Asians (87%) and Near Oceanians (13%) occurred 3 kya, prior to the colonization of Polynesia. Fijians are of Polynesian (65%) and additional Near Oceanian (35%) ancestry not found in Polynesians, with this admixture occurring considerably after the initial settlement of Remote Oceania. Our data support a greater contribution of East Asian women than men in the admixture history of Remote Oceania and highlight population substructure in Polynesia and New Guinea.
Like Dienekes I think there's something off with the dates they're generating here. The archeology tells us New Guinea was settled by humans 15-20,000 years before this paper finds that they diverged from other Eurasians! We know that Aborigines are the closest to Papuans genetically, so if they separated from Eurasians less than 30,000 years ago, that would mean that the original inhabitants of Sahul were replaced after that period by the current groups. Far simpler I think to assume that something is off with their timing. Below are the primary figures, a frappe bar plot, PCA, and tree 7b which illustrates the most supported pattern of population branching and admixture.
[nggallery id=20]
There's nothing too revolutionary in this paper. Rather, it seems to be an exploratory analysis of Oceanian genetics, a precursor to what may come soon. They can not, it seems, differentiate between the slow-boat and express-train models of the settlement of Polynesia, though the consistent pattern of Melanesian admixture seems to lean toward some form of slow-boat, because that is the theory which emphasizes a longer interaction with Melanesian populations.
I know I emphasized the relative simplicity of Oceania in relation to other parts of the world in terms of interpretation because of the geographical constraints, but even here there are layers and twists in the genetic and cultural bedrock. To the left is a map of the Papuan languages. From what I can tell Papuan languages are actually a negation of Austronesian and other well supported language families. The key is to notice that some parts of Near Oceania, Melanesia, have been shifted toward Austronesian languages, though New Guinea is a general exception to this pattern. Remember that humans did not move past the Solomons for ~30,000 years. Large scale settlement of Madagascar seems to have occurred only with the arrival of the Austronesians within the last 2,000 years (after a likely sojourn in East Africa!). This was a genuine cultural revolution which radically shifted the terrain of the possible. And yet by and large the Papuans resisted assimilation to the Austronesian cultural toolkit, which seems to have been otherwise so successful. Why? The Papuans were well equilibrated to their own local ecology, and the Austronesians had no comparative advantage. Rather, the Austronesians, in the form of the Polynesians, struck out into unknown waters and innovated. They found low hanging fruit by discovering trees which had been neglected.
The second interesting point is the bias toward Austronesian mtDNA, and substantial admixture on the Y lineages from Papuans even among Polynesians. The standard explanation of this is that the Austronesians had some aspect of matrilineal descent and matrilocality in terms of communal fission. I think that the Austronesians are arguably a perfect example of the leap-frog pattern of migration, and yet unlike most continental leap-frogs the genetic signal seems to be stronger on the female than male side. There is some evidence of the same in Madagascar. This indicates to me that the Austronesian maritime expansions were qualitatively different from continental leap-frogs, which often were based on the mobility of men on horses.
As I said, the picture remains broadly the same. But there are some touch ups and clarifications on the margins, and that is worthwhile. And definitely an appetizer for what is to come.

This is part of "The Best of the Online Library of Liberty" which is a collection of some of the most important material in the OLL. This essay is by the American economist Milton Friedman in which he makes the case that political and economic liberties are intimately linked. As a "19th century classical liberal" Friedman argues that modern day liberals are mistaken to think that political liberties are more important than economic liberties and that in a fully socialist society there would be no political liberties as well.
