Nurses and the U.S. Navy, 1919-1941
Nurses' Uniforms
Navy Nurses' uniforms slowly changed during the two decades between the World Wars. The outdoor uniform was modernized in the 'twenties, leaving behind the wide-brimmed "sailor" hat adopted during World War I. The first uniform gratuity was authorized in 1923. Uniform regulations were expanded at about that time and gradually updated. Hemlines inched upward conservatively, in keeping with trends in civilian clothing. In 1929 a new, and then stylish, uniform hat was adopted that lasted in somewhat altered form until a new uniform regulation appeared during the early 1940s.
This page features views of U.S. Navy Nurses' uniforms during the 1920s and 1930s.

Abs Training Exercises You Can Do At Work
Hey guys, after several weeks the Abs Training Guide is back. Yay! Some of the readers have contacted me asking if there are any good exercises they can do at work, sitting in a chair, not attracting too much attention from co-workers. Now this is a very good question, as most of you probably work on a computer in an office, where you just can't take a break for a 15 minute workout. Maybe you're too tired at the end of the day, when you finally get home, lacking any motivation to start doing exercises. I've been there, so I know how hard it can be sometimes.
As for the answer to your question:
Yes, there are a few abs training exercises you can do sitting in a chair.
pinagmulan ng daigdig ayon sa biblia
But I'll make it clear now: these exercises won't bring half as much improvement as the best exercises I've discussed in this blog earlier. However, doing these less effective exercises is still WAY BETTER than not doing any exercises at all! The key point here is the same as with other workouts: make it a daily routine, or at least an every-other-daily routine (yes, I just made up that word). Consistency and repetition is the key ingredient of most great achievements.
If you don't have your own well separated office, you might feel awkward doing some of these exercises. But don't worry, as my sifu always tells, "a wonder lasts for three days". When your colleagues first notice what you're doing, they will be surprised, maybe even curious. They might think you're a weirdo. Some of them might even laugh at you behind your back. So what… The next day they will still think there's something wrong with you. Next week, they will get totally used to it, and everything will be back to normal. Again, this is my own experience. Been there, done that. Actually, when a fellow student seen me once doing these exercises before a very long and extremely boring presentation, she asked me what am I doing (in a nice way). I told her I'm doing my pre-sleep workout routine. She then tried these exercises, and was very happy about it, apparently. Don't get me wrong, I don't recommend using this method to pick up chicks
So let's move on to the actual exercises.
1. Spread knee lifts:
Sitting on your chair, spread your thighs a bit so that they shape a V. Lift your left knee up as high as you can, hold it there for a second, then lower it back to the ground. Do it 15-20 times with the left and then with the right leg. This exercise utilize most muscles down from the obliqes to the thighs.
2. Closed knee lifts:
Sit with your legs closed together, your knees touching each other. Let your arms support your upper body weight by leaning on the sides of your chair. Raise both knees towards your chest, as high as you can. Hold them at the highest point for a second, then slowly lower them back. Repeat 10 times. Don't worry if you can't raise your knees up for more than a couple of inches. Just raise as high as you can. This is a very good abs training exercise that utilizes most of the abdominal muscles.
3. Sit uptight, and do ab vacuums.
4. Ab twists:
Sit with your legs closed together, with a straight back. If you have a water bottle nearby, then take it in your hands. Extend your hands forward, both holding the bottle. With your legs staying fixed on the ground in front of you, slowly but steadily turn your upper body to the left. Make sure you reach the point from where you can't turn any further. Hold it for a couple of seconds, then turn back to the middle and do the same to the right side. Repeat 5-10 times on both sides.
These four easy exercises will keep you fit every day, pump some blood into your limbs and make you fresh, ready for the rest of the long day at work.
I hope you found this article useful. I'll be back soon with more abs training tips, stay tuned!

Heading into a new year is always a good time to reflect back on the previous year. For MicroVision 2012 was marked by significant advancements in the second generation of our PicoP® display technology and the transition to our ingredient brand business model.
Key highlights of 2012 include:
— Unveiling MicroVision's HD PicoP® Gen2 display technology using direct green lasers at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). With its small form factor, low power and superior image quality, PicoP Gen2 display technology even received the 'CES Product of the Future' award by Popular Science.
— Transitioning to our core "Image by PicoP®" ingredient brand business model. Under this model, we reported royalty revenue in Q3 as well as positive margin on components sales that quarter.
— Shipping PicoP® Gen2 display engine design samples for customer evaluation to more than two dozen companies in the automotive and consumer electronics sector by the end of Q3.
— Launching the first commercial product to incorporate PicoP Gen2 display technology, Pioneer's Carrozzeria Cyber Navi heads-up display system, debuting in Japan in July.
— Entering a strategic partnership with Intersil to strengthen PicoP display technology's cost and performance roadmap.
— Increasing revenue in Q3 by more than 40 percent year over year and significantly decreasing cash used in operations, as announced in the Q3 earnings release.
An additional highlight in 2012 was significant advancements in the commercial availability of direct green lasers (DGL) with Osram announcing its first commercial DGLs, Sony announcing its intent to enter the DGL market, and an additional supplier providing direct green lasers to Pioneer for the Cyber Navi.
2013 gets off to a quick start with CES this week. In keeping with our ingredient brand business model for licensing our technology to OEMs, MicroVision will take advantage of the converging of the major consumer electronics, cellphone and automotive OEMs in Las Vegas. Our focus is on furthering strategic business partnerships and reaching potential customers in private meetings in lieu of a public exhibition. We have some great meetings lined up and are eager to start this year off building upon the momentum and progress of 2012.

There are a lot of 50 year anniversaries this year popping up around me. Having debuted at the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle, the Space Needle is honoring its 50th birthday by returning the needle to its original galaxy gold color and hosting numerous events throughout the year. Last week as we noted on our Facebook page, the Society for Information Display celebrated its 50th anniversary, and this year also marks the 50th anniversary of the laser semiconductor. We are marking this milestone year by sponsoring the IEEE Photonics Society's 23rd International Semiconductor Laser Conference in San Diego October 7-10. With an international roster of speakers from business and the academic world it promises to be an in depth discussion of the latest developments in semiconductor lasers, amplifiers and LEDs.
To help us commemorate these 50 year milestones in the display and laser industries, visit with us if you happen to be in San Diego for the IEEE Laser Conference or if you are in Detroit October 18-19 at SID Vehicle Display where we are also exhibiting. And of course if business or pleasure travel brings you to Seattle, be sure to take a ride to the top of the Space Needle. Whatever color it is, the view is amazing and the fun of eating in a revolving restaurant never gets old.

January was a busy month for us here at MicroVision. Not only did our team travel down to Las Vegas for CES, but we had exciting announcements with PicoP Gen 2 laser display engine, PicoMagic applications and our collaboration with WOWee ONE – all of which generated really great media coverage.
Once we returned to Redmond, we were eager to get back to work especially after all the positive feedback we received on our technology, specifically the PicoMagic display applications and PicoP Gen 2 HD laser display engine. In addition to winning the Popular Science "Product of the Future" award and seeing great articles post in The Huffington Post, Engadget, Tom's Guide, and Ubergizmo, we also continued to see articles publish following the show.
The UK publication T3 named our PicoMagic display applications the best application at CES this year, showing that our technology has breached global barriers. Additionally, Jeremy Hill of Gamertell wrote about his hands-on experience with the PicoP Gen 2 laser display engine and how he thinks it will change the future of gaming. TechNewsDaily also wrote about the PicoMagic display applications, describing how our PicoP touch interactive display worked and saying the technology is "mind blowing."
Additionally, our collaboration with WOWee ONE generated some great coverage on sites such as Engadget, Hot Hardware, Geeky Gadgets and IntoMobile.
Later in the month, the tech gurus at AllThingsD published an article which featured MicroVision's PicoP Gen 2 laser display as a future display technology. The article specifically focused on how PicoP touch interactive could be an alternate option for standard keyboards and touchscreens – a pretty cool feature if you ask us.
The splash we made at CES was a great way to start off 2012. We can't wait to see what the rest of the year has in store for us!

Gun Handling
When it comes to gun safety, air guns should be handled just like any other gun you may have been taught to shoot. Always consider it loaded, point in a safe direction and particularly when hunting, be sure of what is behind your target before firing.
Make safety your most important priority when handling, transporting, storing and shooting a Benjamin air gun. Along with the rules above, here are some great guidelines for being safe out there:
- Keep an airgun unloaded until ready to shoot
- Keep an airgun "on safe" until ready to shoot
- Keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until ready to shoot
- Wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes
- When someone gives you an airgun or when you retrieve it from storage, always check to see if the gun is "on safe"
- Read and follow all instructions in the owner's manual and know how your airgun works before using it
- Store an airgun in a safe place so that it can not be used by anyone unauthorized to use it
Good sportsmen are as respected for their attentive handling of guns. Enjoy the outdoors and be safe out there!

Checking out the thread first hand, I saw that there were a number of good posts commenting that changes of physical abilities and reduction of injury may be the best indicators of success in our role. Even with these well thought out thoughts, it became apparent to me there really is little attention being paid to analyzing good evidence on the topic. Are we actually doing a good job?
If we are doing a good job, then we need good evidence to back this up. This will help us at stressful times with coaches and administrators. Especially at those times of the year when staff changes are common (coming up in American Football!!!).
If we are not doing a good job then we need to change what we are doing or move on. Simple as that.
So how might we go about analyzing our success in preparing our athletes for the demands in which they are faced?
Performance & Readiness
- Physical attributes: Are your athletes getting better physically at appropriate times? This should be measured with valid and reliable tests that can track changes over time. How do the numbers compare to the same time the previous year? Do these measures relate to overall success? This, especially in a team sport is difficult to measure but may be estimated by a combination of coaches rank, player game ratings, stats and minutes played.
- Performance at demanding times: Does your team perform well (physically and overall) at key times of the season? They should be as near to their best as possible for the playoffs or when competing against rivals or strong opposition (as identified by the coaching staff). This is a key goal of periodization.
- Does your team tend to win or lose games in overtime? Do they outscore teams in the second half or do they roll over and give it up late on? Generally, the bigger the stakes, the closer the games will become. We can have an impact on the outcome.
- Are athletes ready when it comes to game day? What are their ratings of fatigue or readiness? How confident are they in their preparation?
- Are you meeting the goals of the athletes, coaches, and teams? Why or why not?
- What you see with your eyes and hear with your ears can be indicators also. Are your defenders being bullied physically by opposing forwards? Do you tend to be the team initiating things in tight games, or are they just trying to hang on? Subjective opinions are fine, as long as you have real data that also seems to follow the trends you see.
- Wins and losses, championships, and awards. Probably the least accurate measures of the strength coach's performance, but important nonetheless. If all of the above points show positive things, then winning percentages and performance are likely to improve.
- What are your injury stats showing? As a strength and conditioning coach, you should be analyzing these numbers as closely as the sports medicine staff does. At ETSU our ATs use SportsWare online (www.swol123.net) to track a number of important numbers and factors:
- Number of injuries - important although other stats may be more indicative of success in limiting the impact of injuries
- Number of training days lost
- Number of games lost
- Mechanism of injury - contact or non-contact. High numbers of non-contact injury indicates that things may well be going wrong somewhere. That said, even non-contact injuries may be able to be limited if fatigue is managed.
- Type of injury - muscle strains are possibly the most preventable injuries from a S&C standpoint. If you have a lot of these, then again, something is probably going wrong. Illness also can come when fatigue is not being managed.
- Injuries can never be completely eliminated, but if you have a high number of the "more preventable" types and/or never seem to be able to field a full-strength team for big games, then performance will suffer. For every injury, there should be an analysis into what may or may not have gone wrong. What could have been done differently?
The majority of the above can be quantified and measured. This is important. It shouldn't come down purely to "I think", "I believe", "I feel". These are wishy-washy words that lack evidence and substance. Have a reliable and valid testing and monitoring system and keep meticulous records of what each of your athletes have done and you have the data to analyze your performance. This can then be computed into graphs, charts, and stats that can help either justify what you do, or show you where you need to improve (or both).
This may not be effective strength and conditioning
There are lots of other things that contribute to the above factors that may or may not be outside our control. It is often down to the whole performance team (coach, strength and conditioning coach, sports medicine staff). However we should not hide behind these possibilities. We can and should have an impact on overall performance and success of our athletes and teams. If not, why are we doing what we do?
I need to be careful with current data as it is sensitive and confidential, but will find a way of coming up with examples of an analysis that does not sacrifice this in the future.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A "Death Star" won't be a part of the U.S. military's arsenal any time soon.
More than 34,000 people have signed an online petition calling on the Obama administration to build the "Star Wars" inspired super-weapon to spur job growth and bolster national defense.
But in a posting Friday on the White House website, Paul Shawcross, an administration adviser on science and space, says a Death Star would cost too much to build — an estimated $850 quadrillion — at a time the White House is working to reduce the federal budget.
Besides, Shawcross says, the Obama administration "does not support blowing up planets."
The U.S., Shawcross points out, is already involved in several out-of-this-world projects, including the International Space Station, which is currently orbiting Earth with a half-dozen astronauts.

Re: America is one sick place
I was watching a prison documentary, it was about young men (18-22) getting locked up. There was this chubby, weak looking boy. I felt sorry for him because the other inmates were mocking him. But then I googled his name and found out what he was sentenced for
WATERLOO - A 15-year-old girl was who was threatened by a stranger with a knife in a mall restroom forgave her attacker, the girl's father said.
"I'm very proud of my daughter for being able to do that," the father told assailant Thomas James Boggs, 19.
"We do forgive you, Thomas," the victim's father said.
Authorities said Boggs followed the girl into the women's restroom at Crossroads Center, showed her a knife and told her he wasn't going to let her leave.
The girl escaped, cutting her hand as she fled, and summoned help.
Boggs, who pleaded guilty to assault with intent to commit sex abuse, going armed, assault while participating in a felony and carrying weapons, sniffled through his apology in court Friday.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know why I did what I did. I lashed out at an innocent person," Boggs said.
But the apology and forgiveness had little effect on Boggs's punishment.
Judge Kellyann Lekar spared Boggs only two years from his maximum possible sentence, sending him to prison for a series of consecutive prison stints totaling 15 years.
She said the significant prison sentence would allow him to get help while incarcerated.
Public defender Andrea Dryer had asked for a five-year sentence, noting Boggs's youth and lack of prior criminal record.
Assistant County Attorney Joel Dalrymple, who had asked for 17 years behind bars, said the crime was particularly heinous.
"But for her strength and her ability to get away, horrible things were about to happen to her," Dalrymple said.
He noted that after Boggs was caught, he told police he intended to rape the girl in front of the bathroom mirror so she could watch her expressions during the attack.
Boggs, a former New Mexico resident who recently moved to Cedar Falls to live with relatives, had been fired from his job stocking shelves at the Waverly Wal-Mart earlier on the day of the attack, Dryer said.
"On this particular day, something in him just snapped," she said, noting friends and family members described him as a kind, caring person and were shocked when they heard of his arrest.
"They have not seen him like this," she said.
When Boggs was detained by mall security guards, he banged his own head into a wall and said he wanted to shoot himself, Dryer said.
Boggs was ordered to receive sex offender treatment, and he will have to register as a sex offender when he is released. He also will have 10 years of parole for the assault with intent to commit sex abuse charge.
...I hope they have mirrors in prison bathrooms, you sick bastard.

Re: America is one sick place
" Phillip Don Oliver, a 25-year-old Houston man, has been jailed after he allegedly forced another man to have sex with his own mother-in-law while his wife watched. According to police, Oliver approached a male victim outside of his apartment, pointed a handgun at him and ordered him inside the apartment. Once inside, Oliver ordered the man, his wife and his mother-in-law to gather inside a bathroom. All three were then ordered to undress. Investigators say Oliver then ordered the man to kneel on the bathroom floor and place his head into the toilet bowl while Oliver repeatedly flushed it. Oliver then placed the barrel of the gun into the man's rectum, removed it, and then forced the barrel into the wife's mouth. Oliver then pointed the gun at the head of the couple's 6-month-old daughter and ordered the man to place his penis inside his mother-in-law's mouth. Fearing for his daughter's safety, the man complied. Oliver then ordered the mother-in-law to perform oral sex on her son-in-law while the wife watched. The victims told police that Oliver demanded $200,000 from them, which was owed to a third person named Rico. The victims denied knowing anyone by the name Rico. Detectives tracked Oliver down at a nearby apartment complex and took him into custody without incident. The victims were able to identify Oliver from an array of mugshot photographs. Oliver was booked into jail and charged with aggravated assault and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. Bond has not yet been set in the case. According to court records, Oliver was convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in 2008." - TheWeeklyVoice

A 22-year-old Saint Louis, Mo. woman was given two life sentences on Tuesday after being found guilty of allowing a 49-year-old man to rape her 5-month-old daughter in 2009. According to St. Louis Today, Tessa L. Vanvlerah was charged with first-degree statutory rape and sodomy, as well as incest and child pornography. Vanvlerah met California professor Kenneth M. Kyle online, where she agreed to his sexual fantasies. Her lawyers tried to get her off by having a doctor testify that she suffered from a dependent-personality disorder. Dr. Brooke Kraushaar argued that Vanvlerah knew what Kyle wanted was wrong, but participated anyway out of fear of rejection. She also allowed him to choke, burn and urinate on her. Investigators found Kyle had visited Vanvlerah four times in five months, each time initiating the sex acts with the 5-month-old and her mother at various hotels. They also found hundreds of pornographic images on his computer" - Dailycaller

A special Bahraini court has released on bail 20 Shia Muslim medics being tried for their role in a month-long pro-democracy protest, including many who had gone on hunger strike, according to the state news agency, BNA.
The national safety court said late on Wednesday that the verdict for medics would be issued on September 29.
The court was set up under a three-month quasi-emergency law declared by King Hamad ahead of the mid-March crackdown on the protest led by the Shia majority in the Gulf island state.
Catherine Ashton, the European Union's foreign policy chief, lauded the special court's decision to release the doctors and drivers, but she called for the need to use civil courts.
Ashton "again urges the Bahraini authorities to conduct all trials of civilians in civilian courts, with due process and full rights to a fair and transparent trial, as promised by His Majesty King Hamad last month," a statement from her office said on Thursday.
She added that she anticipates "the upcoming conclusions of the independent Commission of Inquiry on the events surrounding the unrest earlier this year."
'Incitement to hatred'
More than 100 detainees are on hunger strike, 17 of whom were hospitalised by the interior ministry after their health deteriorated, according to the Bahrain Commission of Inquiry.
Bahraini authorities had charged 24 doctors and 23 nurses - including several women, who had worked at Manama's central Salmaniya hospital, of incitement to overthrow the regime.
In addition, they were accused of "incitement to hatred of a regime, incitement to hatred of a segment of society, dissemination of false news and malicious rumours that could harm public interest and participation in unauthorised rallies and meetings."
They were rounded up in the wake of the heavy-handed security clampdown which forcefully drove protesters out of Manama's central Pearl Square that became the focal point of anti-government protests for a month, before being razed.
Many claim to have been tortured in custody.
Reforms promised
The national safety court has a mixed military and civil panel. But King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa last month promised that all Bahrainis on trials related to protests will see their verdicts issued by a civil court.
Authorities said in May that 405 detainees have been referred to courts, while 312 were released.
On Tuesday, the Military Public Prosecutor adjourned the trial of 21 Bahrainis accused of an abortive coup d'état against the Bahrain Government, Bahrain's information affairs authority said in a statement on Thursday.
The National Safety Court of Appeal heard the demands of the defendants' lawyers and decided to adjourn the trial until 28th September for an announcement of the Courts verdict, the statement said.
Bahrain's interior ministry says 24 people, including four policemen, were killed in the month-long protests that erupted in mid-February. Security forces backed by troops from Bahrain's Gulf neighbours crushed the protest movement. The opposition says that scores of people were arrested, and many of them tortured. Hundreds more were dismissed from their jobs. Four people have been sentenced to death and three to life imprisonment after being convicted of the killing of two policemen during the protests. Nine others were jailed for 20 years after being found guilty of abducting a policeman.

Home Municipal Services Planning Land Use Bylaw
Land Use Bylaw
Want to Build a New Commercial Building?
The Land Use Bylaw is the more technical instrument used to implement the principles contained in the MDP. Most people who ever get annoyed with "rules and regulations" have had experience with this very well used but much needed document. Significantly re-written in 1998, the Bylaw regulates a range of development activity - new homes, signage, fences, decks, garages, and commercial and industrial activity. Land "uses" are assigned to each land parcel, and a set of regulations identified for each specific land use. For example, if Joe Homebuilder wanted to build a house, he would check the land use for the lot he likes – For Example: R1, and check the regulations to find a number of requirements related to foundation setbacks from front, side, and rear property lines, and maximum height and lot coverage permitted.
The Land Use Bylaw regulates change of land use (e.g., single family home to duplex) and placement of built objects in the urban environment. Permit applications are made for most new building activity, which is then issued a "Development Permit".

Windmills to save us from the imminent Uranium Shortage
It's all wind and whining | Magnus Linklater - Times Online
"Time is running out!" "Ten to 15 years left to save the world!" "Disaster threatens!" "Ecosystems on the brink of extinction!"...3C rise in the world's temperature, leading to a global drop in cereal crops, putting 400 million more people at risk of hunger, and up to three billion at risk of flooding, without access to fresh water supplies. The outcome would be the destruction of half the world's nature reserves and a fifth of its coastal wetlands. Goodbye Norfolk, so long the Western Isles, pity about the Thames Estuary...
As The Times has been reporting this week, a block has been imposed on a number of wind farm developments, because the MoD is worried that they may interfere with its radar systems.
What sort of crazy logic is that? Which is the most dangerous threat to this country - the launch of a Cold War-style attack on Britain by the Russians, with the MiGs gaining a few seconds advantage from turbine clutter on our radar screens, or the imminent disappearance of the polar icecap and the engulfing of the East Coast by the North Sea? The world's scientists say it is the latter. The MoD's boffins say it is the former. And on their say-so we await, in suspended animation, as the icebergs melt....
Worst offenders are organisations such as the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, English Nature, Scottish Natural Heritage or the many environmental lobby groups that routinely object to applications which, they claim, pose a threat to a passing eagle or the lesser-spotted whimbrel...
I do not claim that wind farms on their own are the answer to global warming. But they are certainly part of it. However inefficient and unreliable, they are currently the only show in town, the only known supplier of renewable energy on any scale that is available here and now, rather than in 15 or 20 years' time. Nuclear energy? Of course, but on its own it can never fulfil the world's needs. Read David Fleming's pamphlet The Lean Guide to Nuclear Energy and worry about what happens when the world's endowment of uranium ore begins to run low some time after 2010, leading to an ever greater reliance on fossil fuels.....
Now Magnus is normally a sound sort of bloke, but it is as though he didn't put enough water with it last night when he scribed this panegyric to the windmills. But in amongst the guff was the surprising claim that we are running out of Uranium ore in the next ten years; I wonder if readers with their ears close to the mining industry could correct me on this but my understanding was that there was lots of it around:
Uranium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is estimated that 4.7 million tonnes of uranium ore reserves are economically viable, while 35 million tonnes are classed as mineral resources (reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction). An additional 4.6 billion tonnes of uranium are estimated to be in sea water (Japanese scientists in the 1980s showed that extraction of uranium from sea water using ion exchangers was feasible)
UPDATE:World Electricity - consumption - 16.33 trillion kWh (16,330,000,000,000)
A nuclear 1000 megawatt power reactor, (after its initial fuel loading of uranium), has an annual requirement of around 27 tonnes of fuel.
Assuming the plant works flat out for 250 days a year
(16,330,000,000,000/ (1000*1000*24*250))*27= 73 485
75,000 tonnes of Uranium a year needed to produce all the world's electricity.
4.7 million tonnes at least easily available - I think that works out at over 45,000 years worth.
( Please point out to me if I have got a decimal point in the wrong place.)

Recently by Russ Baker: 'Obama's Wars': The Real Story BobWoodward Won'tTell
With all the attention on crowds of ordinary people rising up and asserting themselves against corruption and self-dealing by an oligarchy, we're missing what the oligarchs are doing right at home. Take, for example, the activities of one of our biggest banks, JPMorgan Chase.
Newly released documents show that high officials of the bank knew for a long time that Bernard Madoff was running a Ponzi scheme, but did nothing to protect his investors – though they did protect their own investments tied to him. As reported in The New York Times in an article that, unfortunately, was missed by many with all the other recent headlines:
Senior executives at JPMorgan Chase expressed serious doubts about the legitimacy of Bernard L. Madoff's investment business more than 18 months before his Ponzi scheme collapsed but continued to do business with him, according to internal bank documents made public in a lawsuit on Thursday.
On June 15, 2007, an evidently high-level risk management officer for Chase's investment bank sent a lunchtime e-mail to colleagues to report that another bank executive "just told me that there is a well-known cloud over the head of Madoff and that his returns are speculated to be part of a Ponzi scheme."
Even before that, a top private banking executive had been consistently steering clients away from investments linked to Mr. Madoff because his "Oz-like signals" were "too difficult to ignore." And the first Chase risk analyst to look at a Madoff feeder fund, in February 2006, reported to his superiors that its returns did not make sense because it did far better than the securities that were supposedly in its portfolio.
Despite those suspicions and many more, the bank allowed Mr. Madoff to move billions of dollars of investors' cash in and out of his Chase bank accounts right until the day of his arrest in December 2008 – although by then, the bank had withdrawn all but $35 million of the $276 million it had invested in Madoff-linked hedge funds, according to the litigation…..
This is not the only recent example of practices that are, to put it kindly, ethically dubious. In another blog post, I recount how the American operations of Deutsche Bank improperly foreclosed on an American soldier while he was away serving his country. And in yet another, I noted how JPMorgan Chase (them again) were overcharging thousands of military families for their mortgages – and had improperly foreclosed on more than a dozen such families.
So there we have President Obama expressing guarded support for the Egyptian people in their uprising against those corrupt, entrenched interests, while at home, he's unable to do terribly much about interests like Morgan. For one thing, they've got the government pretty well sewn up. Not bad to have an executive from your bank (Bill Daley) recently appointed as the president's Chief of Staff, and to have your bank's CEO (Jamie Dimon) on particularly friendly terms with the Treasury Secretary.
It's not just Chase. Above, I mentioned Deutsche Bank. Yet another bank mentioned as having known about and done nothing about Madoff is UBS. That bank is so close with Obama it goes on vacation with him. See this exclusive investigation we did at www.whowhatwhy.com.
If we're going to stop being hypocrites, we have to apply the same standards to rotten institutions wherever they are. That doesn't mean we have to necessarily stop dealing with Morgan, which is pretty ubiquitous, but we do have to demand better scrutiny of their underlying practices, and much more aggressive action to limit their potential for harm.
By the way, when I searched for a story on JPMorgan's Madoff dealings on the NY Times' website, I also got this "sponsored link":
That's one reason real change is so difficult. Everything is woven into everything else. Mubarak could have learned a lesson in this. Get everyone to have some stake in the problem institutions, and watch your worries melt away.

The 3x5 card from cemetery is very vague, doesn't list a section, only a grave number and row and looks like it labeled "unconsecrated ground". I've looked in the section with a lot of the Infants in St. Joe's but was unable to find it there. Thank You for any help.
