1,4-addition of enolates to enones ("The Michael Reaction")
Enolates of carbonyl compounds will add to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to give 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds. This is called the Michael reaction.
Enolates are excellent nucleophiles; although a second resonance form is present with the negative charge on oxygen, the resonance form with the negative charge on carbon tends to be more important for determining reactivity.
Notes: Note that in each case a carbon-carbon bond is being formed
Removal of a proton from the ketone with strong base (Step 1, arrows A and B) results in an enolate, which then performs a 1,4-addition on the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound (Step 2, arrows C and D), which is then protonated (Step 3, arrows E and F).
Sodium here isn't specifically important, it just balances out the negative charge.

Thanks for the numbering part James. It was driving me mad.
Plus, your tip of always making sure to count my Carbons really helps as well.

Plants in Japan after the Earthquake
Subhead: South Korean Automakers See Biggest Drop in Inventory
"In analysis of a hefty sample of more than 60 percent of the nation's vehicle inventory, Edmunds.com found that most results were as expected – Honda and Toyota suffered most from a lack of vehicle inventory due to the quake; ditto for subcompact and compact vehicles. What is surprising is that South Korean automaker Hyundai has been so hard hit by inventory depletion as a result of strong demand, in part due to real and perceived lack of availability of Japanese favorites but also due to the fact that the automaker continues to be on a roll."

"Automotive production in Thailand will be affected in the near term due to the lack of auto-parts supply as a result of the floods," Frost & Sullivan analysts wrote in a note published Thursday, "but is not likely to have a medium-long term effect on Thailand as an automotive production hub in the region."
"Sony Corp. Thursday joined a lengthening list of big-name Japanese manufacturers like Honda Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. in saying Thailand's extreme flooding has derailed production, closing down either plants or key parts suppliers in recent days."

GREENSBORO — The real Senior Day might have come a few days late for N.C. State, but when it did come, it was oh so sweet for Wolfpack fans.
The active players in the Class of 2014 all came up huge Friday as the Wolfpack defeated Syracuse 79-63 in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament at Greensboro Coliseum.
Markeisha Gatling led the way with a career high 28 points and seven rebounds, Kody Burke added 21 points and a career high 16 rebounds and Breezy Williams came off the bench for nine points and six rebounds in 16 minutes in her most important performance of the season.
Freshman guard Miah Spencer added 10 points as the No. 4 seed and 14th-ranked Wolfpack (25-4) won its first game in the tournament for the fifth straight season.
N.C. State is hoping it wasn't a costly victory, as Gatling was helped off the floor with an injury to her left knee with 8:19 left and the Wolfpack leading 64-49.
"I couldn't be prouder of this group of kids," said first-year Wolfpack coach Wes Moore, who said Gatling's X-rays were negative but that she was scheduled for an MRI. "They've done this all year long. It's not good for the head coach's heart, but it sure is nice when you have a happy ending.
"They've battled so many times when they could have hung their heads and said, 'This just isn't our day.' But they keep battling, keep fighting, hit a couple of shots and get a couple of stops and turn the game around."
The Wolfpack had won the regular-season meeting 67-61 on Jan. 5 at Reynolds Coliseum in the Orange's ACC debut. N.C. State's regular-season finale and the official Senior Day resulted in an 84-60 loss on Sunday to unbeaten Notre Dame.
The Wolfpack is playing without senior guard Myisha Goodwin-Coleman, who suffered a torn ACL Feb. 20 at Duke, and senior forward Lakeesa Daniel who had a similar injury in practice the next day.
No. 5 seed Syracuse (22-9), which is a virtual lock for an NCAA tournament berth, had 10 players score but only sophomore guard Brittney Sykes in double figures with 14 points.
"Gatling is an unbelievable post presence," said Orange coach Quentin Hillsman, whose team went 1-1 in its first ACC Tournament. "And she did a very good job of getting deep post position in the second half, and Wes did a great job of getting the ball inside to her.
"You have to give her a lot of credit, and give N.C. State a lot of credit for not laying down at halftime."
N.C. State shot 44.4 percent to 34.3 for Syracuse, which was 6-for-17 from outside the 3-point arc in the first half and 3-for-15 in the second. The Wolfpack won the rebound battle 44-38.
Burke also had five assists in the contest, after receiving the Kay Yow Award – as the conference's outstanding scholar-athlete for women's basketball – before the game.
"My award was definitely a surprise," Burke said. "I had no idea – I was lining up for the National Anthem and they told me to go to half court to accept the award.
"It definitely motivated me," she added. "When I waved to the Wolfpack fans and see how we had their support, that definitely fired us up as well. ACC tournament is time for us to make a statement in the postseason."
The start of Friday's game had been rescheduled for an hour later because of the ice storm that hit the Triad on Thursday night.
And then the lights went out three times in a four-minute game clock span in the second half, but that coincided with the Wolfpack's biggest run.
Syracuse led 38-31 at halftime, but the Wolfpack's offense exploded after the break.
State scored 18 straight points, 12 of them from Gatling, after trailing 48-39 following a Brianna Butler 3-pointer with 15:39 to go.

We know we're not the only ones guilty of letting our silver statement necklaces dull from wear, and we can't remember the last time we gave our gold bracelets a once over; so to make sure your jewelry is in prime form — shiny as the day you got it — we've pooled five totally easy ways to polish your prettiest pieces. From handy Windex wipes-turned-diamond miracle cleaner to an old school toothbrush technique, it's super simple to clean (and maintain) your jewelry. Just keep reading to see how, and then take the next step: learn the best way to organize your jewelry. Gold What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Clean Jewelry Essential: Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Liquid Dish Soap in Geranium ($5), Swissco Tooth Brush With Natural Soft Bristle 3-Pack ($8) How to Use: The name of the game here is to be very gentle with your gold wares (like this gorgeous Alexis Bittar Crystal Encrusted Gold Orbiting Cuff, $225). Mix a couple drops of Mrs. Meyer's dish soap — geranium is our favorite scent — into a bowl of warm water. Then, dip a soft-bristle toothbrush into the soapy blend and scrub your jewelry lightly. Once you've cleaned each piece, dry them off with a cloth towel. 1 / 5 Pearls What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Clean Jewelry Essential: Blitz Delicate Gem & Pearl Cleaner ($5) How to Use: With delicate pearl earrings á la this Ippolita Polished Rock Candy Elongated Geometric Drop in Mother of Pearl, $895, as well as other gorgeous gem jewelry, remember never to use any harsh chemical cleaners and never keep these pieces stored in warm places. To clean pearl jewelry, you can employ a custom-made polish, then wash it away with a mild soap and water mixture. It's that easy. 2 / 5 Turquoise What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Clean Jewelry Essential: D'Addario Planet Waves Microfiber Polish Cloth ($8) How to Use: Lucky for us and our Eddie Borgo Gunmetal-Plated Turquoise Spike Necklace, $315, turquoise is relatively simple to clean. Make sure you have a supersoft fiber cloth to do the polishing honors and to keep your turquoise in shape all-year round? Don't put on your jewelry until your perfume and makeup has dried — both products can discolor the stone. 3 / 5 Silver What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Clean Jewelry Essential: Goddard's Silver Dip ($6), Goddard's Silver Polishing Cloth ($8) How to Use: We've got a plethora of silver statements — like this Nordstrom Gold Water 5-Plate Statement Necklace, $68 — to take care of and it's not so hard to do. Invest in a classic silver polish dip and cloth (Goddard's has been around forever!). Then, apply just a small portion of the dip to the silver, rub gently with a soft cloth, and wash clean with warm water. 4 / 5 Diamonds What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Clean Jewelry Essential: Windex Flat Pack Wipes ($4) How to Use: For engagement rings like this Cathy Waterman Geometric Platinum Diamond Band, $2,960, or any other diamond-infused piece, it's rather painless to keep these sparklers clean with minimal effort. If the pieces is in dire need of a spruce up, soak in a small bowl of ammonia for 15 minutes and let dry. But for daily maintenance, these Windex wipes are a miracle worker. 6 / 5 36 13 24 0 0 Read More Jewelry CleaningStyle How-toSpring FashionJewelry CareJewelry Spring Fashion The Only Competition Stars Like Miranda Kerr Face Is Themselves 17 hours ago 10 Women Who Mastered the Art of Coordination 3 days ago Katie Holmes Isn't Alone in Looking Like She's Walking Down the Aisle 4 days ago This Week's Top 10 Is a Shoe-Lover's Paradise 1 week ago It's Never Too Late to Discover a Signature Color 1 week ago Stop Telling Yourself You Can't Fit Your Life in a Mini Bag 1 week ago Get a Personalized Fashion & Beauty Newsletter!

Dan Bigman, Forbes Staff
I'm Managing Editor for Business News at Forbes
National Rifle Association chief Wayne Lapierre's 2,200 word statement today on the massacre in Newtown, CT called for armed guards in schools and laid much of the blame for the shootings on media conglomerates and prosecutors unwilling to enforce existing laws.
Coming just a week after the shootings, it–unsurprisingly–put the organization on the front page of nearly every news web site in the world today, drawing endless ridicule from the left and inflaming the debate over guns in America once again.
If you're a transparency fan like me, you appreciate knowing what kind of skin public people have in the game during episodes like this. So what did the NRA pay Lapierre to say that the best way to stop school shootings is to have the government put every mentally ill person in the nation on a watch list and arm school personnel to defend schools like banks?
Just under a million bucks.
That's according to the most recent NRA filings with the IRS.
The numbers are a bit out of date. The last filing of a Form 990 from the NRA was in 2010. Still, if you're interested in the numbers behind America's most powerful gun lobby, it makes for interesting reading.
The organization's mission is simply stated, right at the top: "To protect and defend the U.S. Constitution." To accomplish this, in 2010 the NRA reported that it had 781 full time employees, 125,000 volunteers and generated revenues of $227.8 million.
Where does all that come from? In 2010, $71 million came from contributions and grants, $100 million from membership fees and $46 million from other revenue sources, like ad sales ($20 million) royalties, rents and subscriptions.
In 2010 that wasn't enough to cover expenses. In total, they spent $243.5 million, leaving a $15 million shortfall, at least that year, which was cushioned by assets of $37.5 million.
Where did all the money go? About $33 million went to salaries and wages (not including the top brass), $28 million went to advertising and promotions. By far the biggest items were membership outreach: $57 million for membership communications, $24 million for printing and shipping, $16 million for educational programs. Just about $10 million went to the NRA's lobbying arm, the Institute for Legislative Action.
More than $12.7 million went to Akron-Ohio based InfoCision, a huge telemarketing company that lists a broad spectrum of blue chip non-profits as clients– including Smile Train, the American Diabetes Association, Easter Seals and Unicef—as well as the College Republican National Committee and companies like Time Warner and AT&T.
As for salaries, fifty-six people in the organization earned more than $100,000 in 2010—and 10 made more than $250,000. Lapierre does not top the list. Kayne B. Robinson, the executive director of general operations does. He was paid just over $1 million. Lapierre was second, pulling in $970,000 in reportable and estimated comp.
Chris W. Cox, the executive director of the group's lobbying efforts, was third. He earned just over $666,000.
You don't want an armed police officer at you children's school?
Since you're a "transparency fanatic" like me, I'd like to know why.
I wouldn't describe Mayor Bloomberg as "from the left."
I think everyone else does. Remember, he was a Democrat before he became a RINO.
Crazy like a Fox!!! Whatta ya want from a 60 year old? Its No wonder I can even think after all the crap you and monsanto have been feeding me!!!!!
They have to look themselves in the mirror each night. I know they rationalize it to themselves. But one day we may get a death bed confession.
"So what does it profit a man to Gain the world and lose his soul." ~ Mark's Gospel
Wayne lepairre has BLOOD ON HIS HANDS! For a guy who got out of serving his country, (Viet Nam) sure made it to the top. Question for NRA Members: Do you really need an assault weapon to hunt? NO one is gunna come to your house and take your weapons. I live in rural N.C. where alot of people hunt to put food on there table. Lepairre is treating there members like sheep but, is only pulling the wool over there eyes. Cmon Man! It;s all about making lepairre MORE MONEY!! He is NO better than these large corporations that are Ruining this Country. While im at it, WHY do alot of these members vote for a party that DOESNT want the 1% to pay ther fair share of there taxes? Are you the hunter or just one of the herd?
Has "Blood on his hands"? Did he personally kill someone or did you just get a little too excited like the left often does. Do you think the 2nd amendment is about hunting or about freedom? How about the 1st amendment, only for lite conversation or serious commentary? Do you hunt to put food on your table or do you even own a gun? The 1% pay more in taxes than you'll ever earn in 2 lifetimes, so how do you determine what their fair share is? In all fairness, when the government comes knocking on your door for more tax money, and they will, are you the hunter or just one of the herd?
The comment about the 1% is completely ridiculous. All of those people pay less in tax as a percentage of their gross yearly earnings than the rest of the 99% because a lot of them earn their incomes through dividends with low tax rates (thanks to great compensation packages with lots of stock options). The ultra-rich also offset investment losses from earlier years to make it look like they have earned no money so they can avoid paying any real taxes. Plus they have fabulous tax accountants who are great at hiding money so the government can't get their hands on it. They may pay some tax, but compared to the average working person, they are not paying their fair share. Honestly, if a one-percenter feels angry that they have to pay more taxes instead being able to put money into the economy to buy the nicest fixtures for their yachts (trickle-down theory!), then they are absolutely psychotic.
On a different note, LaPierre's comments are crap. The Newtown shootings had nothing to do with the media nor would armed guards have made a difference. It was a rich, bored, one-percenter ex-housewife with nothing better to do with her time than own and use assault rifles and instill the love of guns into her mentally disabled son. The mother was as much a perpetrator as she was a victim under the circumstance. LaPierre has blood on his hands because his haphazard lobbying has allowed assault weapons to be freely sold and legally and illegally throughout the country and prevented any meaningful gun legislation to pass over the last decade. With a million dollar salary, it is easy to see why he has the motivation to keep on talking the way he does.
1. Do I need an assault weapon to hunt? Assault weapons are so hard to get its pathetic. If you can afford them, go through the hassles to get them etc then fine but most of America simply can't or won't.
2. Why do alot of these members vote for a party that DOESNT want the 1% to pay ther fair share of there taxes? That 1% pays a large portion of the US tax burden every year. Whether their average rate is lower or not the fact is that top 1% pays a huge amount. This tripe about them not paying their fair share is a political game that gullible people are falling for. See: http://www.aei-ideas.org/2012/12/top-1-of-american-taxpayers-pay-almost-as-much-in-taxes-as-bottom-95-and-half-of-that-group-paid-nothing-in-2010/
3. Am I a hunter or one of the herd. I am a hunter. I can effectively hunt with an AR 15, and more. Why is that a problem?
Other comments:
1. You say no one is coming to take your guns. Yet, it has happened. So since it takes place why are people to believe that it won't continue or expand? What you claim does not jive with reality.
I wanted to link up with this story as my story referenced the 'richly-rewarded' lobbyists and drying up their source of funding. this story answers all of those questions. Here's the link to my story:
Also I didn't realize that LaPiere was able to avoid the Vietnam War. Interesting fact. Thanks for bringing it to all of our attention.
I find that interesting that Wayne LaPierre didn't have military service. Which branch of service did YOU serve in?
Wayne LaPierre was deferred from serving in the Military in Vietnam because of mental issues. Apparently he is still bogged down with them.
I am the NRA. I am a member of an organization that protects my right to own a firearm. It seems the US Supreme Court agrees with me (see Heller vs. D.C.). I own an Remington R-15 rifle that I hunt with. I have never committed a crime in my lifetime.
Brad, your rant is delusional. Misspellings, upper-case letters strewn within exclamation marks? Also, saying that Mr. LaPierre has blood on his hands because of these murders is ludicrous. Watch out for the contrails, Brad, I think the corporate boogieman is trying to get you…
Lastly, Brad. With regard to your final statement about supporting the 1%. You do realize this is Forbes' website? This magazine and website would not exist without the 1%. Try running that part of your argument over to Rolling Stone Magazine, you might get a better response.
Ken, as someone who writes for Forbes, I would expect you to at least try to stay objective and above the lunacy. When emotions run high, most of us expect publications such as Forbes to analyze facts, not spew and confirm emotional rhetoric spewed by random, anonymous, basement dwelling, internet commentators like Brad.
Ken, you have the resources. Tell me how many people die by legal drug overdose a year? How many by drunk-drivers? Lastly, how many by cigarettes? Hint: for your research, the CDC.gov site lists all these stats. Mix those numbers up in your head and choose your next cause-du-jour carefully.
Eric, your points are well made and I appreciate the sincerity with which they are given. Let me address your central point and then work my way down: This discussion is really about these assault-style weapons, and why they would be needed in a civil society. To my knowledge, no ordinary citizen has protected their home and property using such weapons and their associated rapid-fire clips. The discussion is also about preventing the sale of such weapons from unscrupulous outlets. The talk has never been about banning handguns and rifles. But moving down your list of points, the NRA uses extremely bellicose language. It is the one that has played to its base of supporters by convincing them the government and the "leftists" are the ones out to take away their Second Amendment Rights. It is the one using offensive and incendiary language. If it now finds itself on the other end of such tactics, well, what's good for the goose …. The NRA is endemic is the underlying problems that divide Congress now — that compromise has become a dirty word. The story I wrote points to the intimidation tactics it uses. The only way to convince it to the table is to dry up its funding — and to get money managers to consider the hundreds of millions that they have invested in these companies. That is, these companies and their lobbyists don't just have an obligation to their shareholders. They also have one to the communities where they serve. To that end, the First Amendment allows all speech, even those words in which disagree. We discuss and share ideas and then try to come to a mutual understanding.
Ken Silverstein- You maybe too young to remember the riots of L.A. where the American-Koreans defended their stores with what you refer to as assualt-style weapons. Perhaps, you may have forgotten those that defended their property from looters after hurricane Katrina using those same assault-styled weapons. Have you served in the Military? Perhaps you have forgotten our young men and women that have fought and died for the freedom of people that didn't have these weapons to defend themselves. You see Ken, it starts out with, "You don't need these types of firearms". Then it ends up, "You don't need firearms at all, you have the government to protect you". You see Ken, in the end, who's going to protect us from the government? How will come to our rescue? You sound educated, but not very smart. If the 2nd amendment is abolished, there won't be any free speech for what will be there to guarantee it. What is endemic to this country is that it is torn between two different ideologies, liberal and conservative. Freedom of speech, freedom of internet and journalists are under attack more now than at any recent time. You see Ken, assault weapons trump freedom of speech and don't even think of telling me I'm wrong. Crack open a history book, it's just loaded with recent examples. The pen is mightier than the sword"! Good luck with that. The pen isn't mightier than the sword, it exists because of the sword.
Ken, maybe we should go to the basics and look at the source of the Second Amendment.
As ratified by the States & authenticated by Thomas Jefferson: A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
As passed by Congress: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
There is much controversy over the term "A well regulated Militia" these days but back in 1791 when this Amendment was adopted, it meant "We the People" and its meaning still stands today "We the People". It's purpose is to protect the citizens against deterring a tyrannical government; repelling invasion; suppressing insurrection; facilitating a natural right of self-defense; participating in law enforcement and enabling the people to organize a militia system by keeping & bearing arms.
I'm 100pct with r.u. on this, if the govt takes away one type of weapon the other types of weapons will follow at some point in the future. There are a series of questions that are on BATF firearms transfer form (F4473) asked in section 11, one in particular is 11f: Have you ever been adjudicated mentally defective or have you ever been committed to a mental institution?
The standard answer of applicants is NO, otherwise the form will be denied and the weapon will not make it past the exit door of the gun shop. There is an exception to 11f and I'm sure Adam Lanza does not qualify for any of the ones listed.
Here lies our problem, there are mentally defective people that use these weapons in an illegal manner, thus causing the knee jerk reaction that we see in our legislation today and all the discussion about why assault-type weapons should be owned by citizens.
Maybe if Mom Lanza had a gun safe or even locks on her weapons her mentally defective son Adam would have been prevented from doing his heinous act against humanity that morning. Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

Easton became its own town in 1845, when it spun off from Weston. In the ensuing 166 years, naturally — though Easton's still a relatively quiet town — a whole hell of a lot has happened.
Each year, people get married, people get dogs, properties change hands, people are buried, town government bodies meet — minutes are recorded.
And records of it all are stored at the .
Last week, town clerk Derek Buckley and assistant town clerk Joan Kirk, held an open house to show Eastonites the goings-on in their office.
For almost a decade, Derek Buckley has held his position. Buckley's called the town his home for close to 40 years.
Prior to getting elected to the office and beginning in January 2002, Buckley worked in technology. He's now working to convert the town's paper records to digital records, a process which is slow and tedious.
One of Buckley's predecessors, Carl Mlinar, didn't have that luxury. Prior to Buckley's arrival, all records were on paper, a challenge that didn't phase Mlinar.
"I have a lot of respect for him," Buckley said. "He's the closest thing I've seen to a human computer."
Once Buckley started his job, he quickly realized how "complicated" the clerk's office is.
"I decided to clean this place up," Buckley said, adding he wrote software to help digitize the town's records and automate the office. This has saved the town money, Buckley said. The room where records are stored was full when he started. Now, there's lots of space because of the digitizing process, which means more space doesn't have to be devoted to storing all of the records.
But digitizing records is a grueling process, Buckley explained. Currently, Easton's land records from 1979 to present day are digitized, and Buckley's most immediate goal is to get everything back to 1971 finished, as a "standard title search, if selling [a house], goes back 40 years."
Buckley estimated it would take about three months to digitize the records back to 1971.
"I've got to fit it in with everything else going on," he said. "My hope is we'll get systems in here so people will stop looking at paper over time."
When you start tracing records further back, Buckley said, it becomes difficult to digitize them because different town clerks hand-recorded things differently. For example, one might have written "mortgage," another "mtg." and yet another "mortg." Another example is that back in the day, clerks sought to conserve paper, so sometimes there are more than one record on each page. If a record didn't fit on one page and there was some space on a page a few pages previous, the clerk would continue that record there.
Another difficulty?
"It's hard enough to read your own handwriting," Buckley said.
In any case, Buckley's goal is to get all the records online. That way, it's easier for Eastonites to find what they're looking for. Rather than thumbing through a large book, residents can simply type in the last name or the property address they're looking for on the software Buckley created.
And Buckley's software seems to be favorably received. Raymond Duplessie called it "so simple it's scary." Scott Becker said the system "is the easiest, clearest and best all around record base I have utilized in the 50 or so towns I have covered as an appraiser for the last 21 years."
There's also a prototype of a low vision computer system in the clerk's office. The particular machine presents documents in much higher resolution than a normal computer, making it much easier on the eyes. Buckley said the goal is to partner with the , which his wife Valerie directs, and have seven low vision machines at each facility, so records can be accessed from both locations. These machines are funded through grants, at no cost to the taxpayers.
When buying or selling a house, the parties involved check whether there's any sort of lien on the house in question, Buckley said.
"Divorce, lawsuits — you name it," Buckley said. "There's a number of ways people can put a lien on your property."
Buckley said during divorces, ownership of the house always comes under the microscope.
"People used to fight for who gets the house," Buckley said with a laugh. "Now, people fight over who doesn't get it, since the market's so bad."
On cemeteries
During his tenure, the town clerk's office had to figure out who owned four run-down cemeteries in town. Buckley said often, ownership of cemeteries is passed on through wills for generations. But ultimately, you reach the generation where mention of that cemetery disappears.
"Cemeteries are the ultimate Ponzi scheme," Buckley said, smiling. Someone buys the land, then makes money selling the graves. But once the graves are all sold, there's no more source of revenue.
Running a cemetery is financially "amazing in the short run, but after about 20 years you have to disappear," he said laughing.
Buckley said legislation has since passed that if a town puts a public notice for someone to claim ownership of a cemetery in the newspaper for three consecutive weeks and no one comes forward, the town can take ownership of the cemetery. Rather than pay taxes on the land and upkeep, some families move away.
"Once it becomes a cemetery, it can only be a cemetery," Buckley said.
Buckley said he welcomes Eastonites' ideas and comments on how is office operates or how it could potentially be improved.
"To the extent I can, I'm happy to help," he said.

I remember the day my mother told me that the heart of South Farms was at the intersection of East Main and Silver streets. I grew up between Ridge and Farm Hill roads, and the area around the Grand Union seemed like the center of South Farms, if not the universe.
Now I understand that South Farms is a vast area, historically divided into neighborhoods such as Durant, Farm Hill, Zoar and Pameacha. But its heart and soul was over near Silver and East Main.
I learned all this when I was about 10 years old, and my mother and I were headed to Pelton's drug store at the southeast corner of East Main and Silver streets. The neighborhood had seen better times and was in a period of flux. Key buildings — churches, schools, and stores — were being razed and it was hard to imagine that the neighborhood was key to the city's residential and commercial development 100 years earlier.
Its place as a indendent neighborhood also made more sense to me when I learned that Main Street Extension, from Crescent Street to Ridge Road, was not laid out until the 1930s. If one wanted to travel south from downtown, Main Street then curved at what is now Union Street and curved again along Sumner Street to East Main Street. Therefore, East Main Street was rightfully called Main Street, South Farms.
This South Farms — the real South Farms — was the site of Middletown's most expansive mill complex, one that was known around the world and enjoyed continued respect in the industrial community for almost 150 years. Of course, I am referring to The Russell Manufacturing Company. Their mills on East Main Street led to the development of one of Middletown's first large suburban areas.
This network of mills ran along East Main Street from Silver Street to beyond the intersection of Russell Street. Brick factories lined both sides of the street and nestled along the banks of Sumner Brook. The mill closest to the city was known as the Sanseer Mill, and today it is the oldest of the remaining two mill buildings.
After crossing Main Street Extention as it turns into Saybrook Road, the vast majority of the mills were on this end of East Main Street. The site of Stop & Shop today was the main headquarters of Russell, or RusCo as it was known for a time. Across the street, where the land is currently under development, was a complex of mills.
The other remaining mill building, known as the "Webb Mill" on the 1859 Walling map, is the located at the southwest intersection of Russell Street, which was adapted for residential use.
Samuel Russell in 1834, freshly returned from making his fortune trading opium between the Middle East and China, invested his wealth by establishing the Russell Manufacturing Company. The company produced elastic webbing that was woven by power looms that were used, initially, as the sturdy material used to power other looms in factories all over the United States. Russell was so successful because it managed to adapt its product line to meet the needs of a changing world. Evenutally, they were well-known for making men's suspenders and cartridge belts for war.
The mill pond to the south of the factories still exists and provides a lovely scenic area for those living on its banks on Fowler and East Main Street.
At one point in the late 19th century, more than 900 people worked at the seven mills that they operated in the East Main Street area, in Staddle Hill and in Middlefield.
Multi- and single-family housing sprung up in the neighborhood to house the workers. Front Street, Fowler Avenue and Russell Street became a German immigrant enclave for much of the mid-to-late 19th century. Wall, West Silver, Elm, Roberts (now Chestnut) and Maple streets were developed for housing. The neighborhood first started in the 1830s and grew to one of the most populated areas in town by 1860.
Of course, the people living in the neighborhood needed local services. Churches and schools were built. Small manufacturers and service industries, such as a blacksmith shop, opened in the neighborhood. And, of course, merchants saw the opportunity for opening small grocery stores.
The Church of the Holy Trinity built a chapel at the intersection of East Main Street and Main Street Extension in 1870. This was recently torn down to make room for Walgreen's. The Methodists built the South United Methodist Church on Wall Street near the turn of the century.
By 1900, there were approximately 850 Catholic families living in South Farms and they established the St. Francis of Assisi Parish and built their church edifice in 1904 on Silver Street, opposite the future site of Hubbard School.
The first neighborhood school was in the triangle formed by Baer, East Main and Saybrook Roads. It is visible on the 1874 map, shown here. Later, a large brick elementary school, Hubbard School, was completed in 1908 to serve the families in that area. The U.S. Post Office was built on its former site in 1975.
When the German Evangelical Lutheran Church on High Street split up over an argument relating to parishioners' membership in the Masonic Order, the working-class members took the more conservative stance and moved their new church closer to where they worked at the factories. Their St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church was built on the west side of East Main Street, near the current intersection of Cooley Avenue about 1895.
This was torn down about 20 years ago after many years of commercial service. The church was sold when the congregation built its new home of Randolph Road, which was renamed Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church, in 1960.
Russell Library even built a branch library on East Main Street in the 1920s on the land where CVS sits below grade.
Russell Manufacturing had its own fire department and provided public fire service to the surrounding area. This was originally located across from the site now occupied by Stop & Shop.
The real South farms was once a vibrant, well-populated center of immigrants, commerce and manufacturing. The clues remain to reveal its past and remind us all of what came before us.
Next week, I will write about the various stores in that neighborhood. I have included photographs for some of them here, and would love any information you'd like me to share in next week's column. There is a lot to cover and your memories will be needed. Please drop me a note.
We love you. Now show us some love! Follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook.

We've gotten a good amount of feedback in recent days about the article that Tim Lemke and Mark Zuckerman wrote about the dismal state of the Washington Nationals franchise and the column that I wrote to accompany the story. Here is a sampling — not one has been in support of the team:
"Great article on the sorry 'Baseball' team! Stay on Lerner, and Bowden needs to get his share of Blame also! Thanks for saying what is being said around the stadium!"
"Today's critiques of the Nats, the Lerners, and "the Plan" is the kind of impartial coverage that a major-league city deserves…..Ted Lerner is sounding like Peter Angelos, only cheaper…..I feel no connection to these mediocre journeymen and revolving minor-league washouts posing as major-league ballplayers. When we get some credible stars, listenership and viewership will follow."
"Thanks you so much for your To The Point article about the Nationals this morning and also throughout the current baseball season. I live in Pennsylvania and visit the D.C. area on the weekends. I watch the Nats about three times a week on TV. As a mature adult who has followed baseball for nearly 60 years, I feel my intelligence is being insulted by Bob Carpenter on TV, and the Nats front office of Stan Kasten and Jim Bowden. These gentlemen continue to sugar-coat everything as if we dont see what is going on…..thanks again for your papers many articles through the season, articles that always Hit the Right Nail on the Head. Hopefully next year will be better; but somehow, I dont think so. A very disgruntled NATS fan."
Then there is this letter that was forwarded to me: "Friends of mine urged me to share my letter with the media. I believe at least 20 like it will be sent from friends and neighbors in my Capital Hill neighborhood, maybe more. I know the sentiment is widely shared. Here is the text of the letter I mailed yesterday. Dear Mr. Lerner and Mr. Kasten, Please pay the rent you owe the City of Washington, drop the lawsuit and re-direct your energies to instead partnering with the City to force contractors to complete the work with which you are dissatisfied. Pursuing the avenue you've chosen sours the mood of your nascent fan base, wastes resources for everyone and will not yield appreciable results. There is a better way forward. From what I read last spring in the Washington Post, I understand your position; you had no direct control for the oversight of contractors and the only leverage you have is contained in your contract with the City. That may be enough justification from your previous experience, but here, you must build support to realize long-term returns on your investment. The cost-benefit analysis must include a strong denominator for public relations. Your position in a sound byte is indefensible; the park was open and your team played a complete schedule to rave reviews. You are getting this one wrong. Your current track sets you on course to exhaust the groundswell of good will this city generated when it hailed your entrance and handed you the keys to a $680 million dollar stadium in time for Opening Day 2008. That achievement was unprecedented nationally and as a resident of this City for the past 15 years, I can say it was nothing short of miraculous for this governmental body. You are crushing enthusiasm after also delivering a very poor product on the field this year. I have been a full and vocal supporter of bringing baseball to Washington and have been a season ticket holder for the entire period. I love baseball, I love the Nationals and I want the team to succeed. My support is not without limits, however, and watching this story unfold has been extremely disappointing.I've been beaten down. There are many aspects of management I am watching closely as I weigh my decision about future investments, but I won't let my message today stray. Simply put, if you pay your rent, I will sign up for next year's installment of the plan. I can't be alone in my thinking on this issue. Please give full consideration to my request. With very best wishes, I am Sincerely, Greg Herrick"
There is a lot of anger and frustration out there.

EASTON, Md.- Police say someone stole around $50,000 worth of catalytic converters and air filters from an Easton car dealership.
The thefts reportedly occurred over the weekend at Fred Frederick Chrysler, located at 8562 Ocean Gateway. According to Easton police, 10 diesel trucks were targeted.
Catalytic converters are valued by thieves for their precious metals, including platinum. Their external location makes them easy to steal. Thieves can sell the scrap metal from catalytic converters for $100-$200 per part.
"Theft of converters is a popular crime and doesn't always happen, but yes, they can resell them, they can use them for scrap metal," said Lt. Greg Wright of the Easton Police Department. "Anything metal and anything heavy, it's a quick buck."
Jeff Frederick, who owns Fred Frederick Chrysler, said employees discovered the thefts on Monday morning when they noticed loose wires hanging from the trucks. Frederick said whoever was responsible for the thefts knew what he or she was doing.
"These pieces of exhaust were removed clean- they weren't cut, the wires weren't snipped and it had to have been done fast," he said. "Whoever did it knew what they were doing and they had a lot of practice."
According to Frederick, each catalytic converter and air filter costs about $4,500. Thieves can then turn around and sell the stolen goods.
"It's really been happening a lot across the country because there are metals in the converters that are valuable, so people take them and sell them for scrap," Frederick said. "It hasn't happened to me yet until this recent event."
So far police have no suspects in this case. Anyone with information about the thefts is asked to contact the Easton Police Department Tip Line at (410) 763-6140.

The Bottom Line
- 3 main episodes and 2 bonus ones.
- Massive amount of guest stars from our childhoods.
- Matt Stone and Trey Parker say what they feel.
- $20 bucks MSRP for five episodes.
- Once again, the extras fall short.
- Director's cut of the "Imaginationland" trilogy.
- Mini-commentary from creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
- Two extra episodes are "Woodland Critters" and "Manbearpig."
Guide Review - 'South Park: The Imaginationland Trilogy'
The U.S. government has been keeping tabs on this in a super secret program. The nukes are ready to be used in hopes of saving our imaginations. Luckily there's one small child who possesses the power to aid the inhabitants: Butters better not be grounded this time.
This is a really cohesive story that brings all the elements of great writing and stunning visual aspects together. All of your favorite childhood characters have been drafted for an appearance, whether it's fighting for good or evil. The social commentary runs high with this one, without getting preachy.
Extras include two episodes, "Woodland Creatures" and "Manbearpig," which referenced heavily in the trilogy.
South Park: The Imaginationland Trilogy is a great set of DVDs, but with the lack of extras, I'll probably be using my $20 to buy some gas.

IN a few clicks, Life Insurance Corporation of India opened itself to 289 new centres across the Fiji after making policy payments available through Vodafone Fiji's mobile money ù M-PAiSA yesterday.
The initiative was termed as futuristic and ground breaking by the companies.
The Indian High Commissioner, Vinod Kumar, officiated at the launching of the service which should see more people in rural areas take up LICI's microinsurance product.
M-PAiSA manager Shailendra Prasad said the bill payment was the first of many things. The two parties were also looking at ways of making insurance payments available through M-PAiSA.
Pacific Financial Inclusion Program financial inclusion adviser Tillman Bruett commended the two parties for making the "solution" possible considering the shoestring budget they were given.
"This unique home grown package is a first for Fiji and greatly enhances the use of mobile technology and contributes significantly for greater financial inclusion," a statement by both companies said.
"While LICI is looking at using this facility to reach out to its micro-insurance customers to facilitate their premium payments, the facility can be used by any customer of LICI who is registered with Vodafone M-PAiSA. The service comes free of charge to the customer and is a value addition to both LICI and Vodafone customers
"Through this facility, it is now possible for LICI customers living in remote rural areas and outer islands to access life insurance and pay their premiums using the mobile network. In future the facility can be extended to settle insurance claims and other insurance services as well."
The solution is the first for the Pacific. Since its launch last year, mobile money has grown in leaps and bounds with most utility and housing payments available from handsets. What's next? We understand it will be international money transfer.

Riders in this news : Xavier DE LE RUE
Xavier just coming back from Antarctica, he tell us more on his trip: " The boat is rolling through the Drake Passage.... We just left yesterday and all I can say about that trip is that this place is like something never seen before. We've had it amazingly good, we've had at least a little bit of sun everyday and most of all discovered this surprisingly powerful place.
The variety of the terrain, the snow quality and the challenges we've been going for have made this trip really special. It's been once again a pleasure to have Jeremy as a partner as we really enjoyed sharing our skills in these intense moments.
I won't say more for the moment but these pics will give you a rough idea of our trip.
Cheers, XV "

President Asif Ali Zardari's recent decision to extend political and legal reforms to Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) is the result of a lengthy effort by political parties and other organizations to bring a more democratic system of governance to a region considered a haven for militants and religious extremists.
FATA, with a population of just over three million, is a mountainous area on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. The region is politically and economically marginalized and its residents do not have the same basic legal and political rights as the rest of the country. The lack of effective governance has contributed to the empowerment of forces such as Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
Under Pakistan's constitution, the parliament does not have jurisdiction in FATA and only the president can extend its acts to the region. FATA residents were granted the right to vote in 1996. But political parties are prohibited from operating there, and parliamentarians are elected as independents. Residents remain isolated and subject to a strict form of tribal and religious law imposed by Islamic militants.
As a result, President Zardari's decision represents a significant change. On Aug. 12, he signed two orders extending Pakistan's Political Parties Order of 2002 to the tribal areas and amending FATA's Frontier Crimes Regulation, a draconian criminal code first enacted by the British in 1848. Under the new orders, political parties will be permitted to form and operate in the tribal areas, fielding candidates in FATA under their party banners for the first time. These reforms are designed to bring the tribal areas into the mainstream of Pakistani life and diminish the role of militants.
These developments were encouraged by a series of regional meetings in FATA that began in 2008 with support from NDI in partnership with the Shaheed Bhutto Foundation (SBF). More than 300 tribal representatives participated in roundtables that culminated in an agreement on reform priorities, including the extension of the Political Parties Order to FATA. In January 2009, more than 100 of these tribal representatives presented their recommendations directly to President Zardari.
A report, prepared by the foundation with support from NDI and published in early 2009 summarized the meetings' findings and concluded that unrest in the tribal areas posed a threat to global security and underscored the urgency of establishing a democratic and constitutional system of governance there. The report also documented a broad consensus among tribal area leaders that development, democracy and rule of law were imperative to achieving peace and stability in the region.
Meetings in March and June of 2009 contributed to an announcement on Aug. 14, 2009, by President Zardari of a FATA reforms package, which, despite widespread support among FATA residents and a broad-cross section of political parties, had yet to be carried out until he signed the initial reforms last week.
Ongoing discussion through 2010 led to the creation of the Political Parties Joint Committee on FATA Reforms. Under that banner, nine mainstream political parties adopted a resolution in March calling on the president to implement the reforms announced in August 2009. A 10th party signed on later.
NDI programming is continuing. The Institute is working with the joint committee as well as residents of the tribal areas, with SBF, in support of their efforts to promote the remaining reforms in the package.
NDI's programs were funded initially by the State Department's Bureau for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, and continue to be funded by the British High Commission.

I read recently that 16% of ancient Rome's wealth, built on the backs of its slaves and plebes, was controlled by 1% of its population—this at the height of the Empire in 150 CE. The Roman state—city-state, kingdom, republic and empire—lasted about 1200 years; a pretty good run.
35% of US wealth is now in the hands of 1% of its people. What does this portend for the future? Is economic inequity quantifiable as a dynamic and if so, what does it tell us of the historical relationship between the increasing misery of the many, the swelling affluence of the few and social upheaval? What's the tipping point? Give me numbers!
I searched and found the Big Creeping Gini.
The Gini coefficient measures income inequality. At Gini 100, one person controls 100% of the wealth. (As happens within some families.) At a Gini of 0%, wealth is evenly distributed. (Sweden's Gini is about .023.) The higher the number, the more unstable the society.
Creeping social destabilization can be measured by the upward movement of the Gini. The tripwire seems to be in the 50's:
US, 1968: 38.6 (Not so bad)
- Rome, 150CE: 44 (Rome had another 260 years)
- US, 2010: 46.9* (Oh my)
- France, 1780s: 54.6 (Eeew)
- 1789: the Bastille is stormed (Tumbrels & heads rolled)
[This] led me [to] reflection on that unequal division of property which occasions the numberless instances of wretchedness which I had observed in this country…The property of this country is absolutely concentred in a very few hands…These employ the flower of the country as servants, some of them having as many as 200 domestics… They employ also a great number of manufacturers and tradesmen, and lastly the class of laboring husbandmen. But after all there comes the most numerous of all classes, that is, the poor who cannot find work. Thomas Jefferson, letter from France, 1785
