From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Rita Jenrette, born Rita Carpenter, November 25, 1949 in San Antonio, Texas is an American celebrity, actor, television journalist, and real estate executive. She is most famous for the interview she gave about her marriage to U.S. Representative John Jenrette following his conviction in the Abscam scandal and her accompanying semi-nude pictorial in Playboy magazine.[1][2]
Jenrette earned her bachelor's degree, cum laude, from the University of Texas in 1971.
In 1973, she became the director of research for the Republican Party of Texas. In 1974, Jenrette was a visiting lecturer at the Taft Political Institute at Trinity University. In 1975, she was Opposition Research Director of the Republican National Committee, under the chairmanship of Mary Louise Smith.
In 1977, Jenrette worked as a research associate at the Office of Technology Assessment under the co-chairmanship of Senators Hubert H. Humphrey and Edward M. Kennedy. She co-authored a report, with Ray Hoehle, on the Food for Peace program, which was presented to the Presidential Commission on World Food Hunger.
In 1978 Jenrette was picked by the Washington Post Sunday magazine as one of four dynamic young women of Washington, D.C.[3] On September 10, 1976, she married freshman Democratic whip John Jenrette of South Carolina, 18 months after meeting him on Capitol Hill.[4]
She was also a Clairol model.[5]
Her husband, John, was convicted for taking a bribe during the Abscam investigation in October 1980.[6] She appeared on the Phil Donahue Show and he called in live to join the conversation. At his trial she testified in her husband's defense.
Subsequently, she alerted authorities to $25,000 she found in her husband's closet saying it was part of the Abscam money.[7]
She gave an interview to Playboy that appeared in the April 1981 issue, accompanied by a nude pictorial.[1] The article's revelation that she and her husband had sex on the steps of the U.S. Capitol during a break in an all-night House session caused a hoopla. She claimed that the couple were still "happily married" at the time the Playboy pictorial was photographed,[2] although they had separated by the time it was published.
The comedy group "Capitol Steps" takes its name from this escapade.
Jenrette again appeared in Playboy in the May 1984 issue on the cover and in a pictorial.[8]
She separated from her husband in January 1981 and they were divorced shortly thereafter. She has written two published books, one called My Capitol Secrets in 1981 that detailed her experiences as a Congressional spouse, and "Conglomerate", published in 1986.
In 1982, Jenrette received the Drama Logue Critics Award for her performance in The Philadelphia Story.[9] She also appeared in several movies and television shows in the mid-1980s.
In 1989, Jenrette became an on-air journalist on Fox television's A Current Affair on which she interviewed celebrities.[10]
In 1994, she began a career in real estate. In 1996, Crain's New York Business described Jenrette as a "Power Broker New York Style."[11] In 1999, she sued Simon Properties for $6 million for failing to pay her a commission on the $800 million sale of the General Motors Building to Donald Trump; after losing her claim at trial,[12] she settled her claim for what was reported as a substantially lower payment.[13] In 2003, she completed an Executive Management Program at Harvard Business School.[14]
On May 27, 2009, Jenrette married Nicolò Boncompagni Ludovisi of Piombino. To commemorate the marriage, Ludovisi commissioned the recreation of a fragrance originally devised for one of his princely ancestors.[15]
Jenrette appeared in the following films and television shows:[10]
She also acted on stage as well:

Love-Hate Relationship
I absolutely love the process of putting on events like the Big Bash this Thursday. Something in me just gets giddy at being the catalyst for this kind of thing.
Until the last one or two weeks before the event. Then either valium or alcohol are needed to calm jittery Gill.
I've been doing this stuff for more than 15 years and it never changes. I suppose it's the risk/reward of it all -- if I pull off a great event I get major pats on the back, but if the whole thing crashes and burns not only my bank account but my reputation will suffer.
Interestingly, not once in my entire life have I failed to pull off at least an adequate event. Sure, some are better than others, but all have been well-received.
Even now as I write the third book in the Stalking Tigers series -- the one on psychology -- I'm struggling to put words to this love-hate syndrome I experience.
No real point, I guess. Just sharing my worlds -- both outside and inside my head -- a bit.

i cook direct......
only when cut & paist over takes good writing.....Chubbs said:Mickey, can I have your autograph? :ar!
I do a "dry" brine, starting three days before the cook...salt, pepper, and dried herbs all over, under the skin, sealed in a plastic bag. Then one day before the cook take out of the bag and let it dry out overnight in the fridge (for crispy skin). So much easier than wet brine and doesn't dilute the turkey with a lot of extra water. I will never "wet" brine poultry again!Jscott said:okay, this is really interesting. I have a couple of questions...I've done our family's turkeys for Thanksgiving ever since I got my BGE XL 4 years ago. These turkeys have been absolutely awesome!Here are the questions...is it really better? My wife thinks the spatchcock chicken is the best she's ever had, so...Also, do you brine the turkey as well beforehand?Thanks!

As fighting rages between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza, Hamas' political leader, who lives in Qatar, sat down with CNN for an exclusive interview.Khaled Meshaal,Coach Outlet Onlinea 58-year-old former teacher, has had the role since 2004, after Hamas' then-leader, Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi, was killed in an Israeli airstrike.Coach OutletMeshaal is known as Hamas' external deal-maker, raising money from supporters in the region.He spoke with CNN's Nic Robertson. Here are highlights from CNN's translation of the interview.Multiple cease-fire agreements between Israel and Hamas have fizzled in recent weeks.Coach Outlet OnlineWhile Israel agreed to the latest one under the condition it would be able to continue destroying militant tunnels into Israel, Meshaal said that'*truly a cease-fire."Coach Factory OutletThis is because a truce is a truce, but the presence of the Israeli forces inside Gaza and destroying the tunnels means it's an aggressionCoach Factory Outlet, because they are inside the Gaza territories," Meshaal said, according to a CNN translation."The Palestinian resistance has the right to self-defense and the right to deal with the invading Israeli forces who are inside our Gaza territories with necessary means."Coach Outlet Store OnlineFiring rockets from neighborhoodsHe told CNN that it would be impossible that there were Hamas fighters in every place where civilians have been killed and buildings destroyed."It is unfortunate that the American administration and President Obama adapts the Israeli story,Coach Outlet Store Onlinewhich is a lie. Hamas sacrifices itself for its people and does not use its people as human shields to protect its soldiers.Coach Factory OutletThe fighter, just the like the soldier in the army, his job is to protect the people, and not to sacrifice the people for himself."Hamas' causeMeshaal said Israel has a powerful military but the Palestinians will triumph."Coach OutletWe are stronger than they are in the justness of our cause. We are the rightful owners of the land, and they are the thieves of the land. We are the victims and they are the murderers.Coach Handbags OutletBut despite this we might not win a battle or two completely, but at the end we will win the war. Our steadfastness is a victory. To *their soldiers while they *our civilians is also a victory for the Palestinian cause and Hamas."Coach OutletEgyptian talksHamas has agreed to cease-fires through Egyptian mediators "many times" since 2003, he said."The Israelis,Louis Vuitton Outletthe Egyptians and the American administration know (this),Coach Outletotherwise John Kerry would not have intervened this time nor (former Secretary of State) Mrs. Hillary Clinton in 2012. They know that Hamas is very credible in that if its leadership promised something,Chanel Handbagsit will fulfill its promise, and the fighters on the ground will follow that."He said he is still willing to engage in talks with Egyptians acting as the go-betweens.Louis Vuitton"Regardless what the others' positions (are), we stated that we are ready to go as a Palestinian delegation to Cairo in order to talk to the Egyptians so they can hold indirect talks between us and the Israelis,Gucci Beltsso we can reach an agreement that will address our Palestinian demands, headed by ending the siege of Gaza.Gucci BeltThen cease-fire can take place.

As if the return of the only Formula One night race wasnt exciting enough, Singapore Grand Prix organisers have also released news of a celebrity-packed off-track music line-up for this Septembers event. The exclusive free concerts will entertain fans throughout the weekend at the Marina Bay circuit.
Headlined by renowned international artistes the Backstreet Boys and Chaka Khan, Singapores impressive programme will also include stage performances from Senegalese legend Youssou NDour, Rock & Roll Hall of Fames Mavis Staples and Filipino pop sensation Rivermaya. Los Angeles culture-mashers Ozomatli are also set to energise audiences.
This first group of internationally acclaimed artistes is just the tip of the iceberg. Essentially, spectators will be in for a multi-sensory treat, said Michael Roche, executive director of the Singapore Grand Prix. Last years eclectic mix was unique to any circuit park and was a huge success. This year, we are topping that with a bigger line-up of artistes for non-stop entertainment throughout the weekend, all included in the ticket price.
To add to the atmosphere, a variety of roving performers such as local drumming troupes Wicked Aura Batucada, Strikeforce and Australian visual arts group Slack Taxi will also roam amongst spectators, while comedian Austin Flowers, Pavarotti impersonator Roger Davy and the Brazilian Samba Girls will return after successful appearances at last years inaugural race.
Singaporean race fans can also look forward to some locals acts, including jazz singers Alemay Fernandez and Dawn Ho, rock bands London Fog and Electrico, as well as award-winning record producer and songwriter, Hanjin. More performers will be revealed by the race organisers in July.
There will be eight locations within the Marina Bay Street Circuit designated for the entertainment, which will start as early as 4pm and is scheduled to end around midnight. The Singapore Grand Prix will take place from September 25-27.

If anybody can answer this, I'd be very grateful. What authority does the USADA hold over the ICA? I don't know much about cycling, but isn't the ICA the governing body when it comes to punishments or stripping of titles?
Could the USADA for instance tell MLB to erase all of McGwire's records? I'm just confused as to what power the USADA holds, is it a government entity? |

I think the Title says it all. I'm fairly new to Arthritis having my first onset of pain in the Spring of 2007 I believe it was. Early on I took aspirin and ibuprophen. Since this is mainly an age specific thread I'd prefer the younger crowd ( say 40s +/-) not get too involved unless you've got something that would hep us older fogeys. (Mods- I'm trying to make this as PC as I can. If you can express my thoughts better feel free.)
Nothing medicine wise is out of bounds here. Naturopathic or FDA approved, Yoga, Old Wives Tales, potions from herbal remedies from Yesteryear or Organics and Hippie stuff. I'm gonna say this next bit as gently as I can. I'm about 85% Conservative Redneck and 15% Hippie. I don't wanna use the L word. Many of us come from the Baby Boomers Generation. I'm one. When it's my time I'll go out with CW and RnR and want my ashes put in my Powder Horn. BTW the ladies here are welcome in this thread as aging is non specific to gender.
OK I hope this will stand the scrutiny of the owner of this site and the Mods here. Thanks for your support.

Covenant Kids Fun Run at Knoxville Zoo Feb. 4
February 2, 2012
- The Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon Kids Run is hosting a kick-off fun run at the Knoxville Zoo on Saturday, Feb. 4, at noon to encourage kids to take part in a winter fitness journey that culminates with an exciting and rewarding finish.
Children ages 12 and under can hop, skip, walk or run a fun mile at the Knoxville Zoo and log their first mile in a challenge to complete a full 26.2 mile marathon over the weeks leading up to the Covenant Health Kids Run on March 31, 2012.
"The Covenant Kids Run is actually a two-month program that encourages the good habit of regular exercise at an early age," said Beth LaFontaine, Covenant Health.
At the kick-off run, each child receives a log book to begin tracking their miles toward the 26.2 mile marathon goal. On race day, the children run their last mile together, finishing on the 50-yard line at Neyland Stadium just like the elite athletes do the following day.
Kids can register for the run on the day of the event starting at 10:30 a.m. or online at www.knoxvillemarathon.com. The fee for the zoo fun run is $15 per child, and this also covers the child's registration for the official March 31 Covenant Kids Run. Admission to the zoo is free for children registering and one accompanying guest. Additional guests get half-price admission to the zoo.

Meet J. D. Martinez
Hobbies of new Detroit acquisition, JD Martinez, include dancing, long walks on the beach and knocking the pulp out of the baseball.
Julio Daniel Martinez, the 26-year-old bombshell, has been the lightning bolt in a Tigers team that was desperate for an electric player. Originally Houston's everyday left fielder, Martinez's mediocre numbers in 2013 led to multiple trips to the minor leagues, with an eventual release from the Astros organization.

Kohlrabi (German turnip or turnip cabbage) (Brassica oleracea Gongylodes group) is an annual vegetable, and is a low, stout cultivar of cabbage. Kohlrabi can be eaten raw as well as cooked.
The name comes from the German Kohl ("cabbage") plus Rübe ~ Rabi (Swiss German variant) ("turnip"), because the swollen stem resembles the latter, hence its Austrian name Kohlrübe. Kohlrabi is a very commonly eaten vegetable in German speaking countries.
Edible preparations are made with both the stem and the leaves. One commonly used variety grows without a swollen stem, having just leaves and a very thin stem, and is called Haakh. Haakh and Monj are popular Kashmiri dishes made using this vegetable.
Kohlrabi has been created by artificial selection for lateral meristem growth (a swollen, nearly spherical shape); its origin in nature is the same as that of cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collard greens, and Brussels sprouts: they are all bred from, and are the same species as, the wild mustard plant (Brassica oleracea).
The taste and texture of kohlrabi are similar to those of a broccoli stem or cabbage heart, but milder and sweeter, with a higher ratio of flesh to skin. The young stem in particular can be as crisp and juicy as an apple, although much less sweet.
Except for the Gigante cultivar, spring-grown kohlrabi much over 5 cm in size tend to be woody, as do full-grown kohlrabi much over perhaps 10 cm in size; the Gigante cultivar can achieve great size while remaining of good eating quality. The plant matures in 55–60 days after sowing. Approximate weight is 150 g and has good standing ability for up to 30 days after maturity.
There are several varieties commonly available, including White Vienna, Purple Vienna, Grand Duke, Gigante (also known as "Superschmelz"), Purple Danube, and White Danube. Coloration of the purple types is superficial: the edible parts are all pale yellow. The leafy greens can also be eaten.
Kohlrabi stems are surrounded by two distinct fibrous layers that do not soften appreciably when cooked. These layers are generally peeled away prior to cooking or serving raw, with the result that the stems often provide a smaller amount of food than one might assume from their intact appearance.
The Kohlrabi root is frequently used raw in salad or slaws. It has a texture similar to that of a broccoli stem, but with a flavor that is sweeter and less vegetal.
Kohlrabi leaves are edible and can be used interchangeably with collards and kale.
Kohlrabi is an important part of the Kashmiri diet and one of the most commonly cooked foods. It is prepared with its leaves and served with a light gravy and eaten with rice.
Some varieties are grown as feed for cattle.[1]

Dear Guests,
The world around us seems like it's changing rapidly, doesn't it? There's no avoiding advertising, which funds the shows we watch, the magazines we read and the content we consume. Most of us use social media, buy things online and use texts and e-mails to communicate. Every day, massive amounts of data are generated about us. But what happens to it and how is it being used?
Companies like ours haven't historically done a good job of educating people on what we do with data about them. Largely because of that, misperceptions abound. As a result, people are increasingly concerned with their personal data privacy. Much of the problem is that in this hyper-connected, technology-filled world, people feel like they don't know what kinds of information are being collected about them and they don't believe they have any choice in the matter.
We get it. We really do. Actually, for far too long, Acxiom has contributed to the mystery surrounding the world of "big data." Quite frankly, that's not okay.
So we're trying to do something about it.
Earlier this week, my colleagues at Acxiom and I launched a new website called AboutTheData.com. Designed to provide people with both visibility and control over the data that has been collected about them, AboutTheData.com is a first for both the "big data" industry and Acxiom. We've recruited people from trusted companies such as Google, Apple and Yahoo! to help build the site and it's been a labor of love.
If you're one of the hundreds of thousands of visitors to AboutTheData.com during its first few days of existence, you'll note that we labeled the site as a "beta." This is a distinction often given to a brand new product that isn't yet perfected, and we chose this designation because we knew we had a lot to learn.
With your help, we've been learning a lot! Many of you have been generous with constructive feedback and suggestions, and I thank you for sharing them. Already, some of your suggestions are being worked on and will be incorporated into our website in the coming days. A small minority of visitors have criticized our efforts. That's okay – we've learned a lot from them also. In fact, I've personally tried to read virtually every article, blog, tweet or comment about the new website. Please keep your comments coming using the "Feedback and Support" button over on the right-hand side once you're logged into the site and looked at your information. Your continued input will help us create something that better educates all of us about data, gives us all more visibility into what has been collected and how it's used and ultimately gives all of us greater choice.
For those that are interested, I intend to post here regularly, with updates on what we're learning, what we're hearing and what we're doing. I'll also invite some of my colleagues in this effort to do the same.
Some examples of the website enhancements that are already underway:
- Over 10% of site visitors had some problems with their identity verification. Most typically, this was caused by the need for exact spelling of a visitor's full, formal name. We need to explain this better on the site.
- Others were tripped up by the way birthdates had to be entered. We're solving this by creating easier drop down selections.
- On some data elements, we've found that we need to explain what they actually represent more clearly. And some of the data simply needs improvement – your feedback is helping us identify why this may be the case.
In addition, you've helped us identify areas where we need to better answer your most common questions and concerns. In coming days, I'm going to establish an ongoing list of answers to your questions, but here are some of the things I've heard most frequently:
If I opt out or suppress data, is it really deleted from the system? Answer: Absolutely, though it does take some time to fully flow through our system. That said, we do need to keep a record of your decision so that we can honor them in the future. That decision record is not used for any marketing purpose – but only to ensure that we honor your preferences.
Why do you ask me for personal information up-front, and isn't that just added to my data file? Answer: We ask for information that can help prove who you are. Your answers to these questions are not stored in our marketing database nor used for any subsequent marketing purposes. Period.
Are you just doing this to satisfy regulators? Answer: Regulation and legislation are realities and they're on our mind. However, the issue of transparency was one of the very first things I asked the team to begin addressing when I came to Acxiom two years ago. We created AboutTheData.com because we believed it was, above all, the right thing to do. Giving people greater visibility and control over the data that is collected about them creates better experiences for all of us.
As I write this, a group of my colleagues and I are trading ideas about the site enhancements we plan to make next week. From the start, I've believed AboutTheData.com will be a journey in which we'll build greater trust, transparency and value for people everywhere. This week's site release represented a small first step for us. But we're not done yet. And, importantly, your helpful feedback is the fuel that sustains us.
Thank you.
Warmest regards,

Prosecutors found two bags containing W830 million and US$160,000 in cash when they raided a summer cottage in Suncheon, South Jeolla Province in May where ferry owner Yoo Byung-eon was hiding (US$1=W1,029).
The bags were tagged with numbers 4, 5 and 6, suggesting that there are more bags somewhere else. Some suspect that a couple of bags were somehow handed over to Yoo's eldest son Dae-gyun, who has gone underground but is believed to be hiding somewhere in Korea.
Yoo's other children are overseas.
There is also speculation that the vast amounts of cash Yoo carried could have motivated someone to murder him, though forensic investigators have found no signs of foul play on the badly decomposed body.

Nike LeBron 9 Elite "Red Swoosh" PE on eBay by staff 1 Comments
August 19, 2013 BY Brendan Dunne / 6
You'd think that with the LeBron 11 coming so soon, LeBron James would be wearing nothing but that next gen sig at the moment. Then again, maybe contractual obligations have him waiting until Nike delivers some official info on the project. He's got plenty of heat (No pun intended) laying around in the mean time though. For instance there's the Nike LeBron 9 Elite "Dunkman", that supercharged volt sample that never made it to the public. Get another shot of King James in these unreleased sneakers below and stay tuned for more peeks of him in his next up sig.

Valentine's Day Key Chain Charm
Valentine's Day craft projects don't have to be over-the-top. Create a Valentine's Day Key Chain Charm from Candace Jedrowicz using polymer clay and craft foil. Wear your heart on your sleeve (and your keys) all year long - you'll love showing off your creation to your friends and family.
- Polymer clay – I used red and pink
- Pasta machine or rolling pin
- Craft foil – also red and pink
- Cookie cutter – mini heart shape
- Crochet needle
- Bone folder or piece of paper for burnishing
- 20 gauge wire
- Jump rings
- Chain, clasp
- Crystals and assorted beads
- Round nose pliers
- Chain nose pliers
- Clear dimensional sealer
Condition clays and roll to about 1/8″ thickness or the second thickest setting on the pasta roller.
Lay the craft foil on the clay and follow the package directions for applying.
Cut 2 hearts.
Cut a 1″ piece of wire. Fold it over the round nose pliers. Crimp the wire to form a loop. Turn the ends up. This will hold the loop in place when the 2 pieces are in place.
Put the clay hearts together, back to back with the loop in place. Push lightly to join together. Bake according to package directions.
When the clay is cooled add a layer of clear dimensional sealer. Allow to dry. Repeat on the other side.
Fix the clasp to one end of the chain.
- Use jump rings to add the heart(s), and beads to the charm.

Mardel Price $29.95
Ship To:
Where then has this mountain of contention come from, resulting in a wall of misconception between church and state, and indeed between God and government? The phrase wall of separation was coined by Thomas Jefferson in his private 1802 letter of response to the Danbury Baptist Association, wherein he reaffirmed the federal government s intention to protect the public s rights of conscience to believe and practice their faith without fear of interference from government. Several prominent citizens rights organizations will contend that this purported wall is being routinely breached by people of faith, yet others will assert that any action by the government to impede an individual s right to pray in school or at a public event, to display a Christmas tree in public or to say one nation under God in the Pledge of Allegiance is itself a violation of the First Amendment.
In Wall of Misconception, Dr. Peter Lillback examines our nation's historic understanding of and the founding fathers intention in the relationship of our Constitution to matters of faith, ethics, and morals, taking into account the historical and biblical context as well as the concept s relation to today s culture. This is both the layman's and professional's definitive guide to the separation of church and state and, indeed, the separation of God and government.

Open Source Beehives Has an Interesting Project in Progress
My family and I recently had the opportunity to visit Randy in Florida where he was assisting a fellow beekeeper and friend, Steve Cantu, of Cantu Apiaries. We were graciously welcomed to his fine facility and had a wonderful visit. The peek into beekeeping on a commercial level was very interesting and the buzzing honeybees were lovely to witness after our long winter. We were even given a chance to sample almond honey! (I wouldn't recommend it – LOL)

2nd Book of a Trilogy
Dr. Gloria Brame is probably the premier sex education writer of the recent past. Her work is accessible and informative. This book is the second of a trilogy that she is writing as primers for sexuality. While here first book of the trilogy, The Truth About Sex was aimed more the sexual beginning, something one could give to one's teenagers, this book is precisely what it advertises, it is about sex for adults who have experience with sexuality and now want to expand it.
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
This book covers the various different ways in which one can have sex. It covers different styles of sexual relationships, monogamy and polyandry. It redefines Kink and talks about how intimacy is used to enhance sexuality and about keeping he world of sexuality away from the mundane problems of the real world. She does this in an easily accessible, non-clinical manner that discusses subjects like sexual shame, BDSM, sex and self-esteem, anal and oral sex in a non-threatening way. The perfect book to give to a couple who are having sexual trouble or who have reached that period in their relationship after the craziness of infatuation who now have to figure out how to keep the sexual excitement in their relationship. -

I must say that the cover is quite clever - the use of lady bugs having "sex" is very catchy as the red stands out perfect from the white background.

Now as for the book itself - its pure genius! I have never read a book that discusses not only the modern day personification of sex but also that of the stigma in the past. It discusses the importance of several aspects of sex, for example, with regards to masturbation and orgasm, and also that of the complications that humans put into it. It goes into detail on different types of relationships and sex acts; in a no holds barred yet classy kind of way.
I like the relatable examples in the book, and no doubt it has and will continue to help readers who are dealing with the same situations. It is fun to read, and you won't ever want to put it down until you finished it!
"Sex for Grown Ups: The Truth About Sex Volume 2" is fun, educational and full of information that can help (or save!) your own sex life! Thank you Dr. Brame!

Jon Meade Huntsman, Sr. (born June 21, 1937) is an American businessman and philanthropist. He is the founder of the Huntsman Chemical Corporation, the largest manufacturer of polystyrene in the United States. Huntsman plastics are used in a wide variety of familiar objects, including McDonald's clamshell burger containers and L'eggs pantyhose egg shells.[1] Huntsman Corporation also manufactures a wide variety of organic and inorganic chemicals that include polyurethanes, textiles and pigments.[2] Huntsman's philanthropic giving exceeds $1.2 billion, focusing on the areas of cancer research, programs at various universities and aid to Armenia.[3]
Jon Meade Huntsman was born in Blackfoot, Idaho. His mother, Sarah Kathleen (née Robison), was a homemaker and his father, Alonzo Blaine Huntsman, was an educator.[4] In 1950 the family moved to Palo Alto, California, where Alonzo pursued graduate studies at Stanford University, earning an M.A. and Ed.D. He then became a superintendent of schools in the Los Altos, California district.
Jon Huntsman attended Palo Alto High School, where he became student body president. He was recruited by Harold Zellerbach, chairman of Crown-Zellerbach Paper Company, to attend the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania on a Zellerbach scholarship.[5] He graduated from Wharton in the spring of 1959.[6]
Jon Huntsman married Karen Haight, daughter of David B. Haight, in June, 1959. Both are members of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In July, 1959, Huntsman left to serve for two years in the U.S. Navy. He subsequently earned an MBA from the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business.
In 1961 Huntsman was employed by Olson Brothers, Inc., an egg-producing company in Los Angeles.[7] There he rose through the ranks to the position of Vice President of Operations. Recognizing that the company sustained substantial losses due to poor packaging, Huntsman became interested in developing a better alternative. His leadership was key in developing the first plastic egg carton. In 1965 he established contact with the polystyrene operations of the Dow Chemical Co. In 1967 he became president of a joint venture between Olson Brothers, Inc., and Dow Chemical Company, the Dolco Packaging Corporation.[1]
Seeing an opportunity to create packaging for the emerging fast-food industry, Huntsman left Dolco in 1970 to form the Huntsman Container Corporation with his brother, Blaine, and others in Fullerton, California.[7][8] Plants were constructed in Fullerton, California, in 1971 and in Troy, Ohio, in 1972.[8] Since cash flow was an issue for the new company, Huntsman mortgaged his house and borrowed heavily from banks. In 1973 the company nearly collapsed when an Arab oil embargo cut off supplies of polystyrene, used to make styrofoam.[9]
In 1974 Huntsman Container Corporation created the "clamshell" container for McDonald's Big Mac.[7] The company also developed other popular products, including the first plastic plates, bowls and fast-food containers.[5][8] In 1976, after completion of its first international plant at Skelmersdale, England, a stock deal was arranged to sell Huntsman Container Corporation to Keyes Fiber Company. Huntsman continued to serve as CEO of the container business for four more years and held a directorship of Keyes Fiber Company.[8]
In 1982 Jon Huntsman founded a new company, Huntsman Chemical Corporation, in Salt Lake City, Utah.[10] In his capacity as CEO and Chairman, he grew the business into a multi-billion dollar company, in part by acquiring a number of businesses in the polystyrene industry when they were not seen as profitable. Between 1986 to 2000 Huntsman acquired 36 companies, 35 of which turned out to be hugely profitable.[9]
In 1994 the Huntsman Chemical Corporation was renamed the Huntsman Corporation. In 1996 Peter R. Huntsman became President and COO of Huntsman Corporation. In 2000 he replaced his father as the company's CEO.[11] Jon M. Huntsman continued to be involved in the company as Chairman.[12]
During the 2000s, Huntsman continued its pattern of expansion, both in America and around the world, and reorganization. Huntsman Corporation became publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange in 2005.[13] As of 2014, Huntsman reported that it operated 80 manufacturing and R&D facilities in 30 countries and employed approximately 12,000 associates.[14]
In 2001 Huntsman announced that his companies could not make their interest payments on junk bonds.[15] In 2007 Huntsman co-founded a new private equity firm, Huntsman Gay Global Capital, joining former Bain Capital executive Robert C. Gay (1989–2004, managing director) to focus on investments in middle market companies.[16][17] Among Huntsman's partners is Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young.[16]
Huntsman has been awarded thirteen honorary doctorate degrees at various universities.[18] In 2004 he received the Othmer Gold Medal, awarded by the Chemical Heritage Foundation in recognition of contributions in research, innovation, legislation or philanthropy.[19][20][21] In 2013 he received the Leadership Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Chemical Marketing and Economics (CM&E) group.[22]
Huntsman has been married to his wife Karen for more than 50 years. They are the parents of 9 children and have 56 grandchildren, two of whom are adopted from China and India.
On December 8, 1987, Huntsman's son James, then age 16, was kidnapped and held for $1 million ransom by Nicholas Hans Byrd, a former classmate. FBI agents traced the kidnapper and rescued James unharmed, but agent Al Jacobsen was stabbed in the chest during the arrest. [23][24][25]
Huntsmans' second eldest son, Peter R. Huntsman, took over as CEO of the Huntsman Corporation from Huntsman Sr. in 2000.[11]
Huntsmans' eldest son, Jon Huntsman, Jr., also served as a Huntsman Corporation executive. He was elected governor of Utah in 2004, later became ambassador to China, and was a candidate in the Republican Party presidential primaries in 2012.[26]
Jon Huntsman, Sr. has published a book about his life experience, communicating moral lessons. Titled Winners Never Cheat: Everyday Values We Learned as Children (But May Have Forgotten), it was published by Wharton School Publishing in 2005. A second edition, titled Winners Never Cheat: Even in Difficult Times, made the Wall Street Journal 's best-sellers list.[27]
Huntsman is a four-time cancer survivor.[28]
Huntsman is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served as an Area Seventy from 1996 to 2011. He also served as a regional representative, stake president and as president of the Washington, D.C. Mission from 1980 to 1983.
In 1977 he was chairman of the Western States Republican Leaders.[29] He was also the Republican Party of Utah national committeeman from 1976 to 1980.[29] He is a friend of conservative radio talk show host Glenn Beck and has been interviewed on his show.[30] He is more socially conservative than his son Jon Huntsman, Jr.
While the Huntsman Container Corporation's first packaging plant was being built in 1971, Huntsman joined the Nixon Administration as Associate Administrator of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and later served as Special Assistant and Staff Secretary to President Nixon.[29] Upon completion of the second Huntsman Container site in Troy, Ohio, in 1972, Huntsman left the White House staff to become President and CEO of Huntsman Container.
He served as Chairman for Utah in Ronald Reagan's presidential campaign in 1984 and George H. W. Bush's campaigns in 1988 and 1992.[29]
In March 1988, Huntsman announced he would run against incumbent Utah Governor Norm Bangerter in the Republican primary. Huntsman was leading in public opinion polls, sometimes by a double digit margin.[31] He reportedly spent almost $300,000 in campaign advertising. A few weeks later, Huntsman went on a 10 day business trip to Asia with his friend U.S. Senator Jake Garn, who was chairman of Governor Bangerter's campaign. In mid-April Huntsman dropped out of the gubernatorial race and endorsed the governor, saying that party unity and his business responsibilities were more important than his political career, and asking political independents to support Bangerter.[32][33] Later that year, Governor Bangerter appointed Huntsman to be the first Ambassador for Economic Development for the State of Utah.[18]
Huntsman's son Jon Meade Huntsman, Jr. served in the administrations of four U.S. Presidents including Barack Obama, and was a candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.[26]
There was considerable speculation that the viability of Jon Huntsman, Jr.'s campaign might depend on Jon Huntsman, Sr.'s willingness to fund advertising for it, via the Superpac "Our Destiny PAC".[34] Jon Huntsman, Jr. reportedly downplayed the possibility of receiving campaign funding from his family before the New Hampshire Republican primary, 2012, telling NPR that "the Huntsman family gives to humanitarian causes and doesn't consider a political campaign to be a humanitarian cause".[35] However, reports filed with the Federal Election Commission later showed that Our Destiny PAC received $2.7 million in contributions, $1.9 million of it from Huntsman Sr.[36][37] Much of that money was spent on campaign ads, including $914,000 on campaign ads in New Hampshire in the two months before the January primary.[38]
Huntsman, Sr. appeared on stage with Jon Huntsman, Jr. and his wife and daughters at the third-place finish celebration in Manchester, New Hampshire.[39] Huntsman Jr. announced his intention in Manchester to continue the campaign in South Carolina[39] but dropped out on January 16, in advance of the vote there, throwing his support to Mitt Romney.[40]
Huntsman is widely recognized for his humanitarian giving which, including contributions to the homeless, the ill and the under-privileged, exceeds $1.2 billion and has assisted thousands, both domestically and internationally.[3] The Chronicle of Philanthropy placed Jon and Karen Huntsman second on their 2007 list of largest American donors.[41] On January 1, 2000, The Salt Lake Tribune included him among "The 10 Utahns Who Most Influenced Our State in the 20th Century" for his donations to education and medical research.[42] In 2001 Jon and Karen Huntsman were presented with the Entrepreneur of the Year Award for Principle-Centered Leadership.[43] In 2003 he received the Humanitarian of the Year Award, presented by Larry King of CNN. In November 2008, the American Cancer Society presented him its Medal of Honor for Cancer Philanthropy.[44]
One of Huntsman's most notable causes is the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah, of which he is the founder and principal benefactor. He and his wife Karen established the Huntsman Cancer Institute in 1993 with a gift of $10 million from the Huntsman family. The Huntsmans gave the institute a further $100 million in 1995, an amount roughly equal to a year's total distribution to researchers from the American Cancer Society.[45] Their goal was to accelerate the work of curing cancer through human genetics. The institute is now one of America's major cancer research centers dedicated to finding a cure for cancer with a state-of-the-art cancer specialty hospital.[5][27]
The Institute continues to receive substantial gifts from the Huntsman family. Huntsman, who himself is a cancer survivor, has stated "Except for my family and faith, there is no cause more important to me than fighting cancer... I have committed the rest of my life to doing all I can to support clinical and research efforts to eliminate this disease."[46]
In November 2013, Huntsman donated $50 million to the University of Utah for the construction of a new research building dedicated to children's cancer. Construction of the new building is slated to begin in 2014.[47]
Huntsman has also promoted support of the institute through the Sigma Chi fraternity. Sigma Chi chose the Huntsman Cancer Foundation as one of its preferred philanthropic partners in December 2012. As of April 12, 2013, Sigma Chi had raised one-million dollars for cancer research.[48][49]
Huntsman has supported the University of Utah in Salt Lake City in other ways as well. The 15,000-seat Jon M. Huntsman Center for special events opened in 1969 and is used for gymnastics, basketball, and volleyball.[50] It has been the site of national championships in both gymnastics[51] and basketball, including NCAA men's basketball.[52] As of 2013, the Huntsmans have supported the building of an additional basketball practice facility, to be named the Jon M. and Karen Huntsman Basketball Center.[53]
Huntsman has also given support to other universities. He has served as Chairman of the Board of Overseers of his alma mater, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, PA.[54] One of the school's signature buildings, Jon Huntsman Hall, was named in his honor. Huntsman made an unrestricted gift of more than $50 million to Wharton, which was critical to development of the $140 million project.[55] As of 1994, the Huntsmans also endowed the Huntsman Program in International Studies and Business at the University of Pennsylvania, a four year undergraduate program that combines business education and liberal arts.[56]
In 1989 Huntsman gave $1 million to Utah State University in Logan, Utah for the Huntsman Environmental Research Center. At a press conference to announce the gift, Huntsman said the preservation of the environment is the single most important issue in the world. The Huntsmans also donated $500,000 to rebuild the Alumni Center, renamed the David B. Haight Alumni Center in honor of Mrs. Huntsman's father.[57] In December 2007, Utah State University announced that its College of Business would be renamed the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business, in recognition of a gift from Huntsman and his wife of $26 million—the largest in the university's history to that time.[58]
The law library at Brigham Young University, built in 1975, was expanded and renamed for Howard W. Hunter in 1995 with financial support from Jon and Karen Huntsman and other donors.[59] A new library building at Southern Utah University, named in honor of retiring SUU President Gerald R. Sherratt, contains the The Jon and Karen Huntsman Reading Room.[60] The Huntsmans also contributed to the Karen H. Huntsman Library in Snow College, Utah. Completed in 2010, it is a "green" building, expected to be the first academic library in the state to achieve gold Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification.[61][62]
Huntsman has also contributed to efforts to rebuild in Armenia, which was devastated by an earthquake in 1988. He and other family members have made 46 trips to Armenia over 25 years.[63] He estimates that he has given at least $50 million to relief efforts in Armenia, including money to build schools and hospitals.[64] One of his earliest projects there involved setting up a plant to make pre-stressed concrete, to supply building materials for reconstruction and to employ Armenians.[63] The Huntsmans have built a tile roofing plant in Yerevan,[65] apartment complexes, and a K-12 school in the city of Gyumri.[63][66] The Huntsmans also provide scholarships to bring Armenian students to American to study at Utah State University.[63][67] Huntsman has been granted citizenship in the country and awarded two medals of honor by Armenia, one of them the St. Mesrop Mashtots Order,[63][65]
Huntsman's donations of more than $1.2 billion over all dropped him from the "Forbes 400" list as of 2010. His current wealth is not disclosed; however, he was listed as number 937 on the "Forbes World's Richest Persons" for 2010.[68] He is one of only 19 of the world's 1,200 billionaires to have donated more than $1 billion.[3] He has said that he wants to "die broke" by giving his money away to various charities.[69]
Rocky Anderson, Democratic mayor of Salt Lake City, has said of Huntsman:
I was impressed with Jon from the first, when he told me he lost respect for Richard Nixon... when he learned that Nixon had not given anything to charity one year he was president ... It was clear to me that Jon's real motivation in his work and accumulation of wealth was to give much of what he has to make people's lives better.[70]

I am wondering what those who own Keltec P11 think of it; I kow some do not like the trigger what are others pros or cons? Same question about the Keltec's PF 9; pros/cons. This being a newer pistol I am wonder if there is anyone who has seen, owns or who has shot it. I am also look for, in my local market, and at the Bersa thunder line in 9mm; Pros or cons of this gun or the thunder family in general. All three appear to be pocket guns in size. I have handled the P11; I know from that expirence that I would want to find the S&W mags that would extend the grip an inch or so but I have not had a chance to shot the P11 or any Keltec gun.
I have seen a friend's Bersa in .380 but that is the end of that seen it handled it but again did not shot it. That I intend to fix in time --- if we can ever get together to shot!!

TI Speeds And Simplifies Design Of Automotive Emergency Call Systems With New Reference Design
DALLAS, March 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today introduced a complete reference design that provides designers all the analog and embedded processing integrated circuits (ICs) required for automotive emergency call (eCall) systems. Vehicles equipped with eCall systems will automatically place calls to an emergency service center in the event of an accident. Customers can accelerate the design of their eCall systems by taking advantage of this reference solution comprised of AEC-Q100 qualified analog ICs from TI.
Featuring the TPA3111D1-Q1 high efficiency mono Class D audio amplifier and the TPS43330-Q1, single-boost, dual synchronous buck controller with ultra low quiescent current, TI's automotive eCall reference design offers a robust, low-cost solution that is scalable for other automotive applications, such as telematics, stolen vehicle tracking and HEV/EV sound generation. It also incorporates the TLV70033-Q1 voltage regulator with low quiescent current and the MSP430F2232 16-bit ultra-low power microcontroller. For more information, to order samples or to download the reference design, visit www.ti.com/autoecallrefdesign-pr.
Key features and benefits of TI's automotive eCall reference design:
- Loud and clear audio quality: The TPA3111D1-Q1 delivers 10-W output power at 8 Ohm with greater than 90 percent efficiency, and offers enhanced EMI suppression to improve sound immunity. This ensures loud and clear audio quality; which is imperative in an eCall system where external conditions can sometimes overwhelm the emergency call.
- Emergency operation: The TPS43330-Q1 pre-boost circuit supports automotive start/stop and boosts back-up battery supply voltage, allowing operation down to 2 V at the input. Combined with the Class D amplifier's wide supply voltage range of 8 V to 26 V, the components in this reference design can be powered by a single-cell LiFePO4 battery, in case the car battery connection is severed in an accident.
- System protection: The components offered in this system provide over-voltage and load dump protection against input transients of up to 40 V. The Class D amplifier also supports power cycling and speaker open-load detection during initial power-up. These features ensure robust operation in harsh automotive environments and simplify failure analysis.
