The image reflects the importance of the single atom of Magnesium present in the organic molecule of chlorophyll which enables the process of photosynthesis to take place.
A silvery white metal that can be made to burn with a bright light.
Magnesium is used in flares, pyrotechnics and incendiary bombs and was formerly used in flash bulbs. As it is one-third less dense than aluminium, its alloys are useful in aeroplane and missile construction and in alloys to provide lightweight frames for bicycles, car seats and luggage. It improves the mechanical, fabrication and welding characteristics of aluminium when used as an alloying agent. Grignard reagents, which are organic magnesium compounds, are important commercially.
Magnesium is an essential element in both plant and animal life. It is non-toxic. Chlorophylls are magnesium-centred porphyrins, so, without magnesium, photosynthesis, and therefore life as we know it, would not exist. Humans take in 250-350 milligrams each day (about 100 grams a year), and we each have about 20 grams in our bodies. Magnesium hydoxide (milk of magnesia), sulphate (Epsom salts), chloride and citrate are used in medicine.
Magnesium is the eighth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, but does not occur uncombined. It is found in large deposits in minerals such as magnesite and dolomite. Commercially, it is prepared by electrolysis of fused magnesium chloride derived from brines, wells and sea water.

The first person to recognise that magnesium was an element was Joseph Black at Edinburgh in 1755. He distinguished magnesia (magnesium oxide, MgO) from lime (calcium oxide, CaO) although both were produced by heating similar kinds of carbonate rocks, magnesite and limestone respectively. Another magnesium mineral called meerschaum (magnesium silicate) was reported by Thomas Henry in 1789, who said that it was much used in Turkey to make pipes for smoking tobacco.
An impure form of metallic magnesium was first produced in 1792 by Anton Rupprecht who heated magnesia with charcoal. A pure, but tiny, amount of the metal was isolated in 1808 by Humphry Davy by the electrolysis of magnesium oxide. However, it was the French scientist, Antoine-Alexandre-Brutus Bussy who made a sizeable amount of the metal in 1831 by reacting magnesium chloride with potassium, and he then studied its properties.

Chemistry in Its Element - Magnesium(Promo) You're listening to Chemistry in its element brought to you by Chemistry World, the magazine of the Royal Society of Chemistry (End promo) Chris Smith Hello, this week we meet the substance whose chemical claim to fame is that its quite literally hit a bum note in the past as a cure for constipation. But its explosive role isn't just confined to the colon because it's also the basis of incendriary bombs and even the existence of life on earth. And to tell the story of Magnesium, here's John Emsley. John Emsley It was once the destroyer of cities - now it's a saver of energy The summer of 1618 saw England gripped by drought, but as Henry Wicker walked across Epsom Common he was came across a pool of water from which thirsty cattle refused to drink. He found that the water tasted bitter and on evaporation it yielded a salt which had a remarkable effect: it acted as a laxative. This became the famous Epsom's salt (magnesium sulfate, MgSO4) and became a treatment for constipation for the next 350 years. The first person to propose that magnesium was an element was Joseph Black of Edinburgh in 1755, and an impure form of metallic magnesium was produced in 1792 by Anton Rupprecht who heated magnesia (magnesium oxide, MgO) with charcoal. He named the element austrium after his native Austria. A small sample of the pure metal was isolated by Humphry Davy in 1808, by the electrolysis of moist MgO, and he proposed the name magnium based on the mineral magnesite (MgCO3) which came from Magnesia in Greece. Neither name survived and eventually it was called magnesium. Magnesiumis essential to almost all life on Earth - it is at the heart of the chlorophyll molecule, which plants use to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, and then to cellulose, starch, and many other molecules which pass along the food chain. Humans take in around 300 mg of magnesium per day and we need at least 200 mg, but the body has a store of around 25 g of this element in its skeleton so there is rarely a deficiency. Almonds, brazil nuts, cashew nuts, soybeans, parsnips, bran, and even chocolate are all rich in magnesium. Some brands of beer contain a lot, such as Webster's Yorkshire Bitter - it may owe some of its flavour to the high levels of magnesium sulfate in the water used to brew it. Magnesium is the seventh most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and third most abundant if the Earth's mantle is also taken into consideration because this consists largely of olivine and pyroxene, which are magnesium silicates. It is also abundant in sea water (1200 p.p.m.) so much so that this was the source of magnesium for bombs in World War II. The metal itself was produced by the electrolysis of the molten chloride. Once magnesium starts to burn it is almost impossible to extinguish, because it reacts exothermically with oxygen, nitrogen and water. It burns with a bright light and was used for photographic flash bulbs It made an ideal incendiary agent and in some air raids during World War II as many as half a million 2 kg magnesium bombs would be scattered over a city in the space of an hour. The result was massive conflagrations and firestorms. Bulk magnesium metal is not easily ignited so this had to be done by a thermite reaction at the heart of the bomb. The thermite reaction, between aluminium powder and iron oxide, releases more than enough heat to cause the magnesium casing of the bomb to burn fiercely. Many minerals are known which contain magnesium; but the main ones are dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate, CaMg(CO3)2) and magnesite which are mined to the extent of 10 million tonnes per year. Magnesite is heated to convert it to magnesia (MgO), and this has several applications: fertilizers; cattle feed supplement; a bulking agent in plastics; and for heat-resistant bricks for fireplaces and furnaces. The metal itself is being produced in increasing amounts. It was originally introduced for racing bicycles which were the first vehicles to use pure magnesium frames, giving a better combination of strength and lightness than other metals. (A steel frame is nearly five times heavier than a magnesium one.) For use as a metal, magnesium is alloyed with a few percent of aluminium, plus traces of zinc and manganese, to improve strength, corrosion resistance and welding qualities, and this alloy is used to save energy by making things lighter. It is found in car and aircraft seats, lightweight luggage, lawn mowers, power tools, disc drives and cameras. At the end of its useful life the magnesium in all these products can be recycled at very little cost. Because it is an electropositive metal, magnesium can be act as a 'sacrificial' electrode to protect iron and steel structures because it corrodes away preferentially when they are exposed to water which otherwise would cause rusting Chris Smith So better bikes, better bombs and better bums. Thank you very much to science writer John Emsley for telling the tale of Magnesium. Next week the illuminating story of the element that spawned a light bulb but really needs to work on its image. Quentin Cooper If any element needs a change of PR this is the one. It's brittle, prone to ponginess and arguably the dunce of the periodic table. Even the man who discovered osmium treated it rather sniffily. It reeked - or at least some of its compounds did. Tennant described the "pungent and penetrating smell" as one of the new element's "most distinguishing characters". So he called it osmium - osme being the Greek for odour. Chris Smith That's Quentin Cooper who will be undressing Osmium for us in next week's Chemistry in its Element, I hope you can join us. I'm Chris Smith, thank you for listening, see you next time.

Clarence Mitchell, the civil-rights activist and longtime chief lobbyist for the NAACP, used to tell of something then-Senate Democratic leader Lyndon Johnson often said to him in the 1950s: "Clarence, you can get anything you want if you've got the votes. How many votes have you got?" Effective activism requires building coalitions that bridge a community's cultural, racial, religious and other forms of diversity. A good coalition practices the politics of addition.
Some advocates of change, perversely, prefer the politics of subtraction. On March 27, as Edith Windsor's challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act was being heard by the U.S. Supreme Court, Keli Goff of The Root was trying to drive a racial wedge: "Yet again, wealthy white males are driving the agenda, and everyone else is expected to follow, including the media and the president."
This might come as news to the National Black Justice Coalition, whose film Black Love tells the stories of black gay and lesbian couples "who have courageously stood on the front lines of the fight for marriage equality." It might also surprise NAACP President Ben Jealous and Maryland Pastor Delman Coates, who played significant roles in Maryland's marriage-equality victory in the 2012 election. But it would not surprise the National Organization for Marriage, whose strategic goal "to drive a wedge between gays and blacks" was exposed a year ago.
On March 28, blogger Mia McKenzie objected to the "time and energy and money being poured into getting one more privilege for one group of people" and said that other groups' issues were being ignored, including bullying and anti-transgender violence. That is hardly true in my hometown of Washington, where several groups have worked to combat bullying and anti-transgender discrimination. Like our counterparts around the country, we know how to multitask.
The marriage-equality fight began at the grassroots, not with national groups. It is not about privilege. Lower-income couples benefit more from civil marriage because it serves as the poor man's lawyer, providing hundreds of protections that couples otherwise need expensive legal instruments to approximate. Nor is it walled off from other issues. Marriage reaches into every aspect of life. It will be a key victory from which much else springs.
Aside from being factually wrong, the wedge drivers seek to undermine cooperative efforts via racial and class-based disparagement – to what useful end? Each of us has particular talents, passions and areas of expertise. Browbeating one another or ranking oppressions advances no other issue, it merely sows discord. Assigning motives of selfishness and parochialism perversely tries to combat bias with more bias.
In a classic move to get us fighting each other instead of our common oppressor, Goff even dismisses Loving v. Virginia, the 1967 interracial marriage case the marriage-equality fight resembles: "After all, dating someone of a different race would probably be the last thing on your mind if you can't even attend school with or work alongside your partner or are still worried about exercising your right to vote."
A colleague who knows Goff offered the insight that she is not an activist and has no coalition partners. He says her shock science is to produce maximum hits online, so she throws bombs.
Faced with such people, I recall the simple advice of children's television pioneer Fred Rogers: "Look for the helpers." False "guns or butter" choices help no one but the haters and those who exploit controversy for personal advantage. Successful organizing requires that we seek out people in every community with whom we can work despite our differences. Dumping our baggage on one another may be therapeutic, but will not change a single policy nor save a single life. Let's disappoint the exploiters, and try to help.

Holistic family physician makes
Published on Wed, Mar 25, 2009 by
Ashley Miller

Imagine waking up in the morning with a 102-degree temperature, a runny, nose, sore throat and persistent cough.
You think you might have strep throat but are in no condition to drive to the doctor's office.
Or perhaps you're due for your annual physical and dread the idea of sitting in the waiting room among half a dozen sick people, risking infection.
Dr. Penny Burdick, a family physician for 28 years, can help.
Burdick recently opened Wellness at Home, a holistic family medical practice that operates on house calls. She arrives in her "Wellmobile" and spends at least 30 minutes with each patient.
"I've become increasingly discontented with Western medicine practices and 15-minute appointments," Burdick said.
"Fifteen minutes just isn't enough time to really understand a person's medical history, concerns and beliefs, and I decided it just wasn't working for me anymore."
Burdick's first house call was two weeks ago.
The three months prior to that were spent getting proper
licenses and insurance approval - a timely but worthwhile process, Burdick said.
She expects to see an average of 300-400 patients in the Sequim and Port Angeles areas and is accepting new clients.
House calls are appropriate for preventive medical care such as well-child visits and annual physicals, chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, and acute illnesses such as ear or bladder infections.
However, in the case of an emergency, patients always should call 9-1-1 or go to the hospital.
Visiting patients at home is something Burdick has wanted to do for a long time.
"Seeing someone in their own home gives me a much better idea of who that person is and the stresses in their life," she said.
Because she's contracting with insurance companies, house calls shouldn't cost patients much more - if any - than office visits, Burdick said.
She expects the practice to be popular among families in Port Angeles and the elderly population in Sequim with limited mobility.
Though the introductory appointment takes about one week to schedule, subsequent visits shouldn't take more than one to two days waiting time. Prior to the first appointment, patients are asked to fill out a handful of paperwork so that the examination time isn't taken up with entering data into the computer.
A follow-up appointment is scheduled at the end of each examination for patients with chronic conditions.
If the demand for a home call practice is as high as Burdick is expecting, the University of Texas graduate plans to expand by hiring an associate and being available more days of the week.
Eventually, Burdick wants to open an office for the procedures that can't be done comfortably at home, such as gynecological exams and skin tag removal.
Looking even farther down the road, she'd like to see a fully integrated medical facility open in Port Angeles or Sequim with a massage therapist, acupuncturist, chiropractor, nutritionist, counselor and physician all under the same roof.
Until then, Burdick is satisfied building her clientele and seeing patients in their homes.
"Home call practices are a growing fad all over the country as more patients and physicians get more frustrated with the broken health care system," she said. "Like me, others are deciding the system just isn't working for them."

Q & A with Alessio Fasano, MD
The latest on gluten sensitivity and celiac disease
A groundbreaking study recently released by the University of Maryland School of Medicine's Center for Celiac Research demonstrates that gluten sensitivity is a distinct medical condition that differs from celiac disease. Living Without's editor Alicia Woodward spoke with Alessio Fasano, MD, the study's lead investigator. A world-renown expert on celiac disease, Fasano is professor of pediatrics, medicine and physiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and director of the Center for Celiac Research.
LW Thanks to your team's research, we now know that gluten sensitivity actually exists. What does this mean to the gluten-free community?
Dr. Fasano In my humble opinion, it's a big deal. First, we've moved gluten sensitivity, also called gluten intolerance, from a nebulous condition to a distinct entity—and one that's very distinct from celiac disease. Gluten sensitivity affects 6 to 7 times more people than celiac disease so the impact is tremendous. Second, we now understand that reactions to gluten are on a spectrum. The immune system responds to gluten in different ways depending on who you are and your genetic disposition. Third, there's a lot of confusion in terms of gluten reactions. Gluten and autism, gluten and schizophrenia—is there a link or not? These debates are on their way to being settled. And fourth and most important, for the first time we can advise those people who test negative for celiac disease but insist they're having a bad reaction to gluten that there may be something there, that they're not making it up, that they're not hypochondriacs. Once it's established that a patient has a bad reaction to gluten, it's important to determine which part of the spectrum he or she is on before engaging in treatment, which is the gluten-free diet.
Do you believe people can move along this spectrum? Could someone be gluten sensitive and then develop celiac disease?
No, I don't think so. The three main conditions—celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, wheat allergy—are based on very different mechanisms in the immune system. Given that fact, it's hard to imagine the possibility that you could jump from one to the other.
Yet many of the symptoms of gluten sensitivity and celiac disease are the same.
That's right. While there's a clear distinction on the immunological side, there's tremendous overlap on the clinical side. If you came to my clinic complaining of tingling in your fingers or depression or headaches from eating gluten, these symptoms (and many others) are associated with celiac disease. If your celiac tests are negative, these same symptoms could point to gluten sensitivity. There's no question about that.
Up to 20 million Americans may have gluten sensitivity. That's in addition to 3 million who have celiac disease and 400,000 to 600,000 with wheat allergy. Humans have consumed wheat as a staple for generations. What's going on?
Although we've been eating wheat for thousands of years, we are not engineered to digest gluten. We are able to completely digest every protein we put in our mouths with the exception of one—and that's gluten. Gluten is a weird protein. We don't have the enzymes to dismantle it completely, leaving undigested peptides that can be harmful. The immune system may perceive them as an enemy and mount an immune response.
It seems like we're seeing an explosion of gluten-related health problems.
Two components are coming together to create this perfect storm. First, the grains we're eating have changed dramatically. In our great-grandparents era, wheat contained very low amounts of gluten and it was harvested once a year. Now we've engineered our grains to substantially increase yields and contain characteristics, like more elasticity, that we like. We're susceptible to the consequences of these extremely rich, gluten-containing grains. Second, and this applies to the prevalence of celiac disease that's increased 4-fold in the last 40 years, is the upward trend we're seeing in all autoimmune diseases. We're changing our environment faster than our bodies can adapt to it.
You mentioned the link between gluten and conditions like autism and schizophrenia. Can you elaborate?
This is very controversial. Some people believe undisputedly that gluten plays a role in these kinds of conditions while others say that's bogus. Most likely the truth is in the middle. I have a hard time believing that all kids with autism improve once they go on a gluten-free diet. At the same time, I have a hard time believing that gluten has absolutely nothing to do with these behaviors. We know in clinic that people can have behavioral issues due to gluten, such as short-term memory loss, mood swings, depression so you can imagine schizophrenic and autistic behaviors. If it's true, as I believe, that complex diseases like autism are final destinations but that you can take different paths to get there, I have to believe that one of those paths for a subgroup of patients could, in fact, be gluten sensitivity.
Is there a test for gluten sensitivity?
No. So far, the only way to determine gluten sensitivity is an exclusion diagnosis. You have a problem with gluten. The problem goes away when you go on a gluten-free diet and comes back when you add gluten back into your diet.
What would you advise someone who believes they're gluten sensitive, given there isn't a conclusive test right now?
Do not try the gluten-free diet before you see your physician. You must exclude a celiac diagnosis before you start the diet. If celiac disease and wheat allergy and all other causes of your symptoms have been excluded, then and only then is it worthwhile to do a gluten-free trial.
Do you recommend that most people avoid gluten, provided they get tested for celiac disease first?
I wouldn't go to this extreme because the gluten-free diet isn't a walk in the park. The bottom line is quality of life. If you're suffering with symptoms that make your life miserable and you've investigated all possible causes, including celiac disease, I don't see anything wrong with going on the gluten-free diet. If you're gluten sensitive, you'll see quick improvement on the diet, a matter of days or weeks at the most. It's not weeks, months or years like with celiac disease.
Having said that, at the clinic we take care of athletes who are healthy but say they feel much more energetic and have increased endurance on the gluten-free diet. Novak Djokovic, the tennis star who's gluten sensitive, claims his endurance, capability to concentrate and energy have skyrocketed since going gluten free.
I've heard you say that gluten sensitivity is where celiac disease was 30 years ago.
It's déjà vu. The patients, as usual, were visionary, telling us this stuff existed but healthcare professionals were skeptical. The confusion surrounding gluten sensitivity—testing, biomarkers—is exactly the same confusion we had around celiac disease 30 years ago. So we're starting all over again now.
What's surprised you most about the studies you've conducted?
I was shocked to learn that certain people have tricks that allow them to tolerate gluten for 60 or 70 years without getting sick—and then suddenly in their mid-70s, they develop celiac disease. This means it's not destiny. You're not born to develop celiac disease. That's mind-blowing to me. So I'm dying to know what kind of tricks these people use to tolerate gluten for so long. If we learn the tricks, we can apply them to everybody at risk for the disease and put them in a stage of tolerance so they'd never get the disease. And here's another thing—why do they suddenly lose this trick? If we knew, we could use that knowledge to avoid other problems. Celiac disease is a prototype of other conditions, like diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, heart attack, stroke. The mechanism is all the same. So if we can understand what the heck is going on with celiac disease, it could lead to huge, huge changes in preventive medicine.

To goglutenfreegracefully, I hope you don't get disappointed getting the "true disease" may or may not make it easier for people to understand your dietary restrictions. I have Celiac disease and even my family (mother, father, brother, husband roll their eyes at my restrictions and persist in saying hurtful things.) It is a shame that something as important as our health and what it takes to maintain it sometimes becomes fodder for ridicule. I am persistently offered food they know I can not eat and told, well if you don't want it blah, blah, blah....I have cried many hopeful tears that even just one of them would research my disease and understand that I am not making a choice because I "don't want to eat that", that my health (perhaps even my life depends upon it). If only they cared enough to look it up and know what 20ppm means, or cross-contamination, and realized that I don't read every ingredient because I enjoy reading labels, I'm looking for the hidden gluten! I hope I haven't been too much of a Debbie-downer, I just don't want you to believe that any diagnosis necessarily leads to be understood by others. I have an eleven year old daughter who UNASHAMEDLY adheres to her GF diet- she does not (as yet and hopefully never will have positive antibodies) but she is VERY INTOLERANT, perhaps more so than I with immediate gastric symptoms. She adopted a GF diet almost 9 months ago and her linear growth has sky rocketed and she looks and feels much more healthy! I wish I could be more like her in my attitude of not caring what others think!

Great article! I blogged about it. If you ever interview Dr. Fasano again, I really would like to know his thoughts on how long a person should eat gluten prior to being tested for celiac disease or gluten intolerance/sensitivity, especially celiac. I don't believe anyone should go back to gluten when it makes them ill, however, some doctors insist upon it. Many people have asked me this question. There are so many differences of opinion on the matter. However, I respect Dr. Fasano and would like to know.
Thank you for this wonderful piece!

Sharon, don't beat yourself up! You "can't learn this" because we want to belong and to be the same as our family or friends. But if you have celiac, it isn't just the stomachache for a little while. You are doing real damage to your body. Maybe you could find a gluten-free pizza crust you like (or use one of the recipes on the LW website) and let everyone in the family make their own pizza or section of the pizza...then you can all eat together. Think about being a diabetic at a birthday party!

When I mess up and eat something I should not like when our family orders Pizza, immediate reaction is my stomach hurts so bad. Then that same day I get the itchey rash which turns into blisters. I just will have to eat my gluten free while everybody else eats gluten pizza. Will just have to make my food separate from the rest of the family. Why can't I learn this?

I've eaten gluten free for nearly 30 years. I eat gluten very occassionally in social situations when I'm really hungry and everyday bread and cakes are the main food on offer. I decide to throw caution to the wind and just enjoy the food hoping that 'this time I'll be OK'. Always I experience symptoms that I'd rather not have. There are a range of symptoms that can arise both physical and psychological. I would recommend that anyone who wonders if they have a gluten sensitivity to just restrict their diet to gluten free foods for a couple of weeks and see if they notice any different. If you can get a long list of everyday conditions that could be caused by gluten intolerance, you can tick off the problems that disappeared when you ate gluten free. Everyday dieters who change their diet to lose weight often cut out all flour based foods and eat lots of raw foods. They tell anyone who will listen how much better they feel. They don't need to get permission from a doctor to change their diet. Traditional asian rice based diets don't contain gluten and people eat them their whole life and are very healthy as long as they get enough good quality food. The same applies to eating dairy free. I do that as well.

Great article! Thank you for sharing. Dr Fasano is so insightful. Having lived with celiac symptoms my entire life, I was finally diagnosed 12 years ago in my mid-20's, and I truly agree with Dr Fasano that the healing phase of celiacs takes upwards of a few years to really take effect. This article shares some groundbreaking news on gluten-sensitivity! When I started my online and office based gluten free consultation business (www.GoGlutenFreeGracefully.com) some years back, I found that one of the major complaints of my gluten-sensitive clients was not having a tried and true "disease" diagnosis to back up their new dietary behaviors. Especially in social situations, where a client would feel ridiculed by friends/family for not eating what was being served and jumping on the 'gluten free' bandwagon. This article gives hope to sensitive/intolerant/allergy individuals, by offering the scientific basis in a user friendly and easy to understand format. Thank you again for the article!

Thank you for such an informative article. My daughter suffered for years with various perplexing symptoms. We went to 3 different Ped GI specialists that all missed her diagnosis of Gluten Sensitivity. With my urging her Pediatrician tested her Gliadin level which was elevated. The last Ped GI still didn't want to label her as Gluten Sensitive or Celiac because "the diet is too restrictive". Against better judgement she continued on a regular diet for 2 more years. I watched my child wither and suffer for almost 9years because I didn't listen to my own instincts. Finally my husband and I decided to put her on a Gluten Free diet.....her refusal to eat anything was the final straw. Initially we also took her off of dairy to allow her gut to heal, introducing dairy back into her diet about 3-4 months after. Within days she felt better within months she was a different child with a new outlook. Looking back on her symptoms initially were extreme constipation, irritability, inability to concentrate, hypersensitiviy, to dry eyes (we even thought that she had Sjogren's Syndrome), migraines, restless legs, insomnia, bladder infections, and skin irritations. ALL of those symptoms have gone away. Three years on a Gluten Free diet has not been difficult when we look at the positive results it has brought to our daughter. Once again, thank you for articles like this that re-assures parents like me and my husband that we made the right decision for our child.

Jim Henson, the man behind the Muppets, was born on September 24, 1936, in Greenville, Mississippi. Henson began working as a puppeteer in college, creating characters like Kermit the Frog. He worked as a producer on Sesame Street, a popular kids' show that launched in 1969, and created The Muppet Show in 1976. The Muppet Movie, the first of many movies featuring Henson's famous characters, appeared in 1979. Henson received several accolades for his work, including Emmys,
Grammys and a Peadbody Award. He died of pneumonia on May 16, 1990.
The Early Years
Jim Henson was born James Maury Henson on September 24, 1936, in Greenville, Mississippi. At a young age, Henson was drawn to the arts. His maternal grandmother, a painter, quilter and needleworker, encouraged his creative passions, including his puppetry. Well before his teen years, Henson was performing puppetry for audiences, including his fellow Cub Scouts. His youth was also spent toying with different visual mediums, including television, which he adored. A major influence of his childhood was TV puppeteer Burr Tillstrom, of the show Kukla, Fran and Ollie.
Television Career
Henson had his first dalliance with televised puppetry while still in high school. He began performing with his puppets on a local Washington, D.C. Saturday morning program. By his freshman year at the University of Maryland, in 1955, Henson had scored a bi-weekly bit on a local NBC affiliate, Sam and Friends. The program scored a local Emmy Award in 1958, the same year that Henson founded the Jim Henson Company. The Muppets, including an early version of Kermit the Frog, were borne from Sam and Friends.
The puppet characters' popularity continued to grow, and they were soon making appearances in TV commercials, including one for Wilkins Coffee. One of Henson's puppet characters, Wheel Stealer, who snatched a family's snacks on a food commercial and later chomped on an IBM computer in a TV ad, was an early incarnation of the beloved blue Cookie Monster. The first Muppet to gain national exposure, Rowlf the Dog, went from making appearances in Purina commercials to playing a sidekick on The Jimmy Dean Show in 1963. Rowlf was brought to life with the assistance of puppet builder Don Sahlin and puppeteer Frank Oz. Members of Henson's growing puppeteering team also appeared on The Today Show and The Ed Sullivan Show.
Around the same time, Henson began experimenting with short films, including 1965's Academy Award-nominated Time Piece. Then, in 1969, Henson teamed up with Children's Television Workshop to produce the now-classic children's show on PBS, Sesame Street. As the show's theme song goes, Henson swept "the clouds away" with various original characters, including Big Bird, Ernie, Bert, Oscar the Grouch, Grover, Snuffulupagus and Elmo. Between his puppetry and animated shorts, Henson perfected his gift for engaging children and making learning fun on Sesame Street.
Muppet Stardom
But Henson's even bigger claim to TV fame came in the 1970s, with the debut of The Muppet Show.

A Topic We Just Can't Seem to Abandon
We know we've covered the importance of "planned abandonment" before. But as Peter Drucker once wrote, "What has been learned earlier has to be repeated again and again, and applied again; it has to be reaffirmed or else it is forgotten."
So let us repeat: Abandon stuff, all ye who enter business—products, processes, policies, distribution channels—for everything eventually becomes obsolete. And do so before you want to, let alone before you have to.
When we last addressed this topic, our focus was on Hewlett-Packard. At the time, HP Chief Executive Leo Apotheker had announced a plan to spin off the company's PC business. We suggested that this might well be a smart move. But this line of thinking was generally met with skepticism—and, in fact, Apotheker was ousted just a few weeks later. The word now is that HP, with Meg Whitman at the helm, will be keeping its PC business after all.
For contrast, let's consider I.B.M. Last weekend, the New York Times published a farewell to its chief executive, Samuel J. Palmisano, who has just stepped down after nearly a decade of leading the company. The tech giant, the Times declared, has become "so consistently successful, I.B.M. is almost boring."
But getting there hasn't been easy. One of Palmisano's toughest decisions, in fact, was to exit the PC business. The company sold it off to Lenovo of China in 2004. "If you decide you're going to move to a different space, where there's innovation and therefore you can do unique things and get some premium for that, the PC business wasn't going to be it," Palmisano told the Times.
Palmisano's decision wasn't popular internally—abandonment, as Drucker noted, always creates "enormous resistance"—but the gamble paid off.
"Abandonment comes first in the turnaround strategy," Drucker wrote in Post-Capitalist Society. "Until it has been accomplished, nothing else gets done."
What, if anything, should HP (and the rest of us) learn from I.B.M.'s approach to abandonment?

January 5, 2012There's a helpful practice defined by Charles Handy called the Sigmoid Curve. The idea is to anticipate an prepare for change despite current successes. This is just one of many forms of continuous improvement practice. The Japanese automobile industry's version was Kaizen which was key to their competitive success in the 1980s. In the software development world, Martin Fowler introduced the practice of Refactoring, which has become a key practice for achieving software development agility. Refactoring is defined as a "disciplined technique for restructuring an existing body of code, altering its internal structure without changing its external behavior".
IBM's decision to exit the PC business is an example of continuous improvement, and the risk and rewards associated with it. More valuable than the reward that comes from change is nurturing a culture for change within the organization. IBM may have encountered severe resistance in shedding the PC business, but the next time an opportunity presents itself and requires drastic change from the IBM, their culture will be better suited to support it from the start. So lessons learned are more agility in seizing new opportunities and potentially less risk in doing so when you nurture a culture of continuous improvement.

CD/LP/Track Review
Anthony Branker & Ascent: Dance Music (2010)
Dance Music opens with "The Renewal," as if to signal a more idiosyncratic direction. Elements of jazzsome very close to time-honored swingare infused with just enough abstraction to evoke a sound closer to Django Bates than traditional big band composition. Similarly, the title track incorporates a slight sense of intelligently placed dislocation, generating a high level of interest. "The House of the Brotherhood of the Blackheads," the lengthiest piece in the collection, is an opportunity to hear fine solos from the group, especially returning members, saxophonist Ralph Bowen and trombonist Clifford Adams Jr.
Singer/lyricist Kadri Voorand, appears on four of these all-original tracks, with a super voice that's a cross between Oleta Adams and Dianne Reeves and with, possibly, more range than either-and writing that is neither overly sentimental nor abstract. Ascent's current personnel also retains outstanding pianist Jonny King , whose contributions are vital to the success of this collection; his solos representing some of Dance Music's finest moments. Drummer Adam Cruz most often associated with pianist Danilo Perez is the group's newest member, is outstanding, as is guitarist Freddie Bryant , who takes a great solo in his sole appearance, "Truth."
New members and Ascent alumni clearly represent the vision and spirit intended by Branker, another of those incredibly creative artists who receive more recognition outside the US than at home. A highly accomplished trumpeter and long-time fixture at Sweet Basils, he has played in Russia, Finland, France, Germany, and other European locations, as well as performing off-Broadway; he is also an educator and jazz award-winner. Dance Music is both fun and dignified, and should boost him to well-deserved higher recognition.
Track Listing: The Renewal; Mysterious Ways; Dance Music; A Smile Awaits; Asking Answers; The House of the Brotherhood of the Black Heads; The Holy Innocent; A Beautiful Life; Truth; Depende.
Personnel: Anthony Branker: composer, arranger; Ralph Bowen: tenor and soprano saxophones; Clifford Adams Jr.: trombone; Kadri Voorland: vocals; Tia Fuller: alto saxophone; Jonny King: piano; Kenny Davis: bass; Adam Cruz: drums; Freddie Bryant: guitar (9).

The Maine EventTwenty years ago, after an impossible romance, I went on a trip by myself. I took a windjammer off the coast of Maine and ended up on Monhegan Island. My first day there, while walking on a path high above the ocean, I looked down and saw a man in the distance, sitting on a rock by the sea. I had always been the kind of person who, if I saw an attractive man across a crowded room, I'd turn and go in the other direction. And I thought, Should I step off this path? Should I go down there and meet that man? I did. I climbed down the side of a steep cliff, walked up to the man—and met my future husband. I remember how amazingly blue his eyes were.

Faux Tan Sunless Face Tanner 1.7 fl oz (50 ml)
Better than the real thing, this quick-drying sunless tanner gives you a sun- kissed complexion without exposure to the sun's harmful rays. A unique tanning peptide delivers a subtle, golden glow that gradually develops into a natural-looking tan over time. A mineral copper complex works to prolong the effects, while plant-derived emollients help lock in moisture without clogging pores for a healthy-looking complexion. Build a deeper tan by reapplying- and look like you've basked in the sun longer. Formulated without paraben and artifical oils. |
For best results, exfoliate before application. Smooth evenly all over face and decollete. You see the amber color as you're applying it, so you know exactly where it goes, or if you've missed a spot. To avoid discoloring palms, wash hands with soap and water immediately after use. |

We've been quietly making what we believe is the world's best non-dairy frozen dessert right here in the heart of Oregon's beautiful Willamette Valley for years. While we're not the type to shout our achievements from the rooftops, we are taking steps as a responsible manufacturer to move in a more sustainable direction. We invite you to check out what we've been up to.
Lots of packaging materials we receive daily like cardboard, plastic buckets, and various other materials continue to have value after their initial use, so we've built a culture that takes recycling seriously, recovering some 12 tons of material annually and keeping it out of the landfill
Pints & Quarts – Products require additional packaging to protect them during the journey from the manufacturing plant to your local grocer. This can use a lot of raw materials, so we've invested in equipment that eliminates the need for a cardboard sleeve in the outer packaging, saving some 34 tons of cardboard annually, the equivalent of saving 297 cubic yards of landfill space or 1,513 gallons of crude oil.
sandwiches & single serves – All our frozen dessert sandwiches and frozen dessert bars are packaged in 100% recycled paperboard cartons. Using 100% recycled material not only saves trees, but it takes 50% less energy to re-pulp recycled paper than it does to make paper products out of new fibers from trees.
yogurt cups – Our cultured products cups are made out of #5 polypropylene plastic, a lightweight option that is recyclable in many communities. We use a minimalist approach to packaging our 6 ounce cups by using foil or plastic lids that don't require an additional outer lid, saving packaging material.
beverages & creamers – We use paper cartons for all our beverages not only because they help protect the good stuff inside, but because they are the more sustainable option compared to plastic bottles. The paper fiber for the cartons is harvested from responsibly managed forests, and paperboard containers have one of the lowest CO2 footprints of any package. Paper cartons contain valuable fibers that can be reused to make lots of other products, so be sure to check for recyclability in your area.
energy sources by region
In the auto world there are gas guzzlers and there are gas sippers. When it comes to consuming energy, we prefer to be the sipping sort, so we've tackled a lot of projects to make our frozen dessert manufacturing plant more efficient, like investing in energy-saving pumps and motors, swapping out all our warehouse lighting for more efficient fluorescents, and just trying to be smarter about how we use electricity.
Here in the southern Willamette Valley, we're blessed to have access to lots of clean, renewable hydropower. As you can see below, over 80% of our electricity comes from hydropower – well over the national average.
