Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (December 3, 1842 – March 30, 1911) was an industrial and environmental chemist in the United States during the 19th century. Her pioneering work in sanitary engineering and experimental research in domestic science laid a foundation for the new science of home economics.[1][2] She was the founder of the home economics movement characterized by the application of science to the home, and the first to apply chemistry to the study of nutrition.[3]
Richards graduated from Westford Academy (second oldest secondary school in Massachusetts) in 1862. She was the first woman admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she graduated in 1873 and later became its first female instructor.[1][4] Mrs. Richards was the first woman in America accepted to any school of science and technology, and the first American woman to earn a degree in chemistry, which she earned from Vassar College in 1870.[5][6]
Richards was a pragmatic feminist, as well as a founding ecofeminist who believed that women's work within the home was a vital aspect of the economy.[7]

Early childhood[edit]
Richards was born in Dunstable, Massachusetts. She was the only child of Peter Swallow (b. June 27, 1813, Dunstable; d. March 1871, Littleton, Massachusetts) and Fanny Gould Taylor (b. April 9, 1817, New Ipswich, New Hampshire), both whom came from established families of modest means, who were believers in the value of education.
Early life and education[edit]
Ellen was home-schooled in her early years. In 1859 the family moved to Westford and Ellen attended Westford Academy.[8]
Studies at the academy included mathematics, composition, and Latin, similar to New England academies of the time. Ellen's Latin proficiency allowed her to study French and German, a rare language north of New York.[9] Because of these skills she was much in demand as a tutor, which income made it possible to further her studies.
In March 1862, she left the academy. Two months later, in May, Ellen developed the measles which set her back physically and interrupted her preparations to begin teaching.
In the spring of 1863 the family moved to Littleton, Massachusetts, where Mr. Swallow had just purchased a larger store and expanded the business. By May 1864, Miss Swallow, now twenty-one, took a teaching position that June. .[8]
She did not teach again in 1865 but spent that year tending the family store and taking care of her mother, who was ill. During the winter of 1865–66, Swallow studied and attended lectures in Worcester.[8]
College education[edit]
In 1868 she entered Vassar College. She earned her bachelor's degree in two years. She then earned a master of arts degree with a thesis on the chemical analysis of iron ore. Richards served on the board of trustees of Vassar College for many years and was granted an honorary doctor of science degree in 1910.
When she entered Vassar, in September, 1868, she was classified as a special student. Somewhat over a year later she was admitted to the senior class, and was graduated in 1870. The strongest personal influences which came to her in college were from Maria Mitchell, the astronomer, and from professor Charles S. Farrar (1826-1908[10]), who was at the head of the Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.[8]
In 1870, she wrote to Merrick and Gray, commercial chemists in Boston, asking them if they would take her as an apprentice. Merrick and Gray replied that they were not in a position to take pupils, and that her best course was to try to enter the Institute of Technology of Boston as a student.[8]
On December 10, 1870, after some discussion, it was voted that the Faculty of the Institute of Technology recommend to the Corporation the admission of Miss Swallow as a special student in Chemistry.[8] Swallow thus became the first woman admitted to Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she was able to continue her studies, "it being understood that her admission did not establish a precedent for the general admission of females" according to the records of the meeting of the MIT Corporation on December 14, 1870.[11]
In 1873, Swallow received a bachelor of science degree from MIT for her thesis, "Notes on Some Sulpharsenites and Sulphantimonites from Colorado".[12] She continued her studies at MIT and would have been awarded its first advanced degree, but MIT balked at granting this distinction to a woman and did not award its first advanced degree, a Master of Science in Chemistry, until 1886.[8]
Marriage and home[edit]
On June 4, 1875 Miss Swallow married Robert H. Richards (1844-1945), chairman of the Mine Engineering Department at MIT, and with whom she had worked in the mineralogy laboratory. They took up residence in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. With her husband's support she remained associated with MIT, volunteering her services and contributing $1,000 annually to the "Woman's Laboratory," a program in which her students were mostly schoolteachers whose training had lacked laboratory work and who wanted to perform chemical experiments and learn mineralogy.[13]
Scientific achievements[edit]
Air and water quality[edit]
In the 1880s, her interests turned toward issues of sanitation, in particular air and water quality.[14] She performed a series of water tests of local waters, which at the time served as drinking water for their immediate populations, consisting of over 40,000 samples. This resulted in the so-called "Richards' Normal Chlorine Map" which was predictive of inland water pollution in the state of Massachusetts. As a result, Massachusetts established the first water-quality standards in America, and the first modern sewage treatment plant was created.[15]
Richards' masters thesis at Vassar was an analysis of the amount of vanadium in iron ore.[15] She performed numerous experiments in mineralogy,including the discovery of an insoluble resident of the rare mineral samarskite. This was later determined by other scientists to yield samarium and gadolinium. In 1879 she was recognized by the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers as their first female member.[14]
Home sanitation[edit]
Richards applied her scientific knowledge to the home. As the persons responsible for the home and family nutrition, Richards felt that all women should be educated in the sciences. She wrote books about science for use in the home, such as her "The Chemistry of Cooking and Cleaning", published in 1882.[16] Her book "Food Materials and Their Adulturations" (1885) led to the passing of the first Pure Food and Drug Act in Massachusetts.[15]
She used her own home as a kind of experimental laboratory for healthier living through science. With concern for air quality in the home, she moved from coal heating and cooking to gas. She and her husband installed fans to pull air from the home to the outside to create a cleaner air environment within the home. She also determined the water quality of the property's well through chemical testing, and to insure that waste water was not contaminating their drinking water.[16]
Richards derived the term euthenics from the Greek verb Eutheneo, Εὐθηνέω (eu, well; the, root of tithemi, to cause). To be in a flourishing state, to abound in, to prosper.—Demosthenes. To be strong or vigorous.—Herodotus. To be vigorous in body.—Aristotle.[17] And from the Greek Euthenia, Εὐθηνία. Good state of the body: prosperity, good fortune, abundance.—Herodotus.[17] The opposite of Euthenia is Penia - Πενία ("deficiency" or "poverty") the personification of poverty and need.[18]
In her book Euthenics: the science of controllable environment (1910),[19] she stated that the betterment of living conditions, through conscious endeavor, for the purpose of securing efficient human beings, is what the author means by Euthenics.
Vigorous debate about its exact meaning, confusion with the term eugenics, followed by the Great Depression and two world wars, where among the many factors which led to the movement never really getting the funding, nor the attention needed to put together a lasting, vastly multidisciplinary curriculum, but instead, split off into different disciplines. Child Study being one such curriculum. Thus, the end of euthenics as originally defined by Ellen Swallow Richards.
Martin Heggestad of the Mann Library notes that "Starting around 1920, however, home economists tended to move into other fields, such as nutrition and textiles, that offered more career opportunities, while health issues were dealt with more in the hard sciences and in the professions of nursing and public health. Also, improvements in public sanitation (for example, the wider availability of sewage systems and of food inspection) led to a decline in infectious diseases and thus a decreasing need for the largely household-based measures taught by home economists."[20]
Richards was the first writer to use the term, in The Cost of Shelter (1905), with the meaning "the science of better living".[21]
Laboratory work[edit]
After her first experience as water analyst under Professor Nichols, Mrs. Richards entered upon a large private practice in sanitary chemistry, including the examination not only of water, but also of air and of food, and the testing of wallpapers and fabrics for arsenic. In 1878 and 1879 she examined a large number of staple groceries for the state, the results of her investigation being published in the first annual report of the Board of Health, Lunacy and Charity, which had succeeded the earlier Board of Health.[8]
She also served as a consultant to the Manufacturers Mutual Fire Insurance Co and in 1900 wrote the textbook Air, Water, and Food from a Sanitary Standpoint, with A. G. Woodman. Her interest in the environment led her to introduce the word ecology into English around 1892, which had been coined by German biologist Ernst Haeckel to describe the "household of nature".
Mrs. Richards' interests also included applying scientific principles to domestic situations, such as nutrition, clothing, physical fitness, sanitation, and efficient home management, creating the field of home economics. "Perhaps the fact that I am not a radical and that I do not scorn womanly duties but claim it as a privilege to clean up and sort of supervise the room and sew things is winning me stronger allies than anything else," she wrote to her parents. She published The Chemistry of Cooking and Cleaning: A Manual for House-keepers in 1881, designed and demonstrated model kitchens, devised curricula, and organized conferences.[22]
Her first post-college career was as chemistry lecturer at MIT, from 1873-1878, albeit she served without pay.[14]
From 1884 until her death, Mrs. Richards was an instructor in the newly founded laboratory of sanitary chemistry at the Lawrence Experiment Station, the first in the United States and headed by her former professor, William R. Nichols.
In 1884 she was appointed as an instructor in sanitary chemistry in a newly formed MIT laboratory for the study of sanitation.[23]
Mrs. Richards was a consulting chemist for the Massachusetts State Board of Health from 1872 to 1875 and the Commonwealth's official water analyst from 1887 until 1897.[citation needed] She also served as nutrition expert for the US Department of Agriculture.
Women's education[edit]
Woman's Laboratory assistant instructor[edit]
Mrs. Richards appeared before the Woman's Education Association of Boston on November 11, 1875, and in an address which made a deep impression set forth the needs of women. She expressed the belief that the governing board of the Institute of Technology would give space for a woman's laboratory if the Association would supply the necessary money for instruments, apparatus, and books. Scholarships also would be almost indispensable, she said.[8]
The Woman's Education Association appointed a committee to enter into communication with the Institute of Technology, which lead to the creation of the MIT Woman's Laboratory, November 1876. The Institute offered a small building planned for a gymnasium to be the location of the Laboratory. Mrs. Richards became an assistant instructor (without pay) in 1879 in chemical analysis, industrial chemistry, mineralogy, and applied biology under Professor John M. Ordway. The Woman's Education Association agreed to raise money to buy equipment for The Laboratory.[8]
A new building, erected by the Institute in 1883, reserved space for all laboratory students' use, women as well as men. The Woman's Laboratory was closed and the building demolished.
In 1884, Mrs. Richards was appointed Instructor in Sanitary Chemistry in the Institute of Technology itself, a position which she filled until the time of her death. In addition to all her faculty duties and instructional work, she was also the "untitled" Dean of Women.[8]
American correspondence school instructor[edit]
In January 1876, Mrs. Richards began a long association as an instructor with the first American correspondence school, the Society to Encourage Studies at Home, where she developed the science department.[8]
In 1886 a new section promoted by Swallow, Sanitary Science, was established in the Society. It was at a time when household conveniences employing water, gas, or electricity were becoming general, but housekeepers seldom understood what dangers and difficulties attended the ignorant use of the new arrangements. She saw that instruction was needed, and was glad to make the society a means to that end and to spread abroad knowledge of the possibilities of organizing the house on truly scientific principles.[8]
American Association of University Women[edit]
Richards and Marion Talbot (Boston University class of 1880) became the "founding mothers" of what was to become the American Association of University Women (AAUW) when they invited fifteen other women college graduates to a meeting at Talbot's home in Boston, on November 28, 1881. The group envisioned an organization in which women college graduates would band together to open the doors of higher education to other women and to find wider opportunities for their training. The Association of Collegiate Alumnae (ACA), AAUW's predecessor organization, was officially founded on January 14, 1882.
Teachers' School of Science[edit]
Lucretia Crocker, along with women's clubs and other help in the Boston area, created a "Teachers' School of Science" in Back Bay at the New museum of the Boston society. Along with Mrs. Richards, Crocker created a mineralogy course for teachers. Teacher found such education in the Boston area because of area scientist that would teach their courses.[24]
New England Kitchen of Boston[edit]
In January 1, 1890, Mrs. Richards entered upon an undertaking which, to use the words of a popular English writer, was "an interesting failure, but a failure which had all the educational value of a first reconnaissance into unexplored territory." This experiment was the famous New England Kitchen of Boston, at 142 Pleasant Street, and the "unexplored territory" was the willingness of the poor to be scientifically fed. The aim of which was to serve cooked food for home consumption and to give the largest possible amount of nourishment for a given amount of money.[8]
Years later, Mrs. Richards, herself, wrote in her preface to part one of The Rumford kitchen leaflets : No. 17, "The Story of the New England Kitchen; Part II; A study in social economics", by Mary Hinman Abel (1850–1938):[25]
|The story of the New England Kitchen, which Mrs. Abel has so charmingly told in the following pages, is remarkable for two things : the new and valuable information which has been acquired, as the result of the daily work of the Kitchen, and the short time which has sufficed to put the enterprise on a business basis.
It is well to emphasize the causes of this success, that the lessons in social science and practical philanthropy be not lost. A large part of the credit is due, as the readers of this report will easily divine, to Mrs. Abel's hard work, as well as to her unusual ability, enthusiasm, and ready tact. So fully has Mrs. Abel been identified with the project from the beginning, that it is not easy to think of its successful issue without her aid. But ability and enthusiasm alone would not have sufficed to work out the problem undertaken in starting the New England Kitchen, which was, namely, an experiment to determine the successful conditions of preparing, by scientific methods, from the cheaper food materials, nutritious and palatable dishes, which should find a ready demand at paying prices.
Mrs. Abel would doubtless give as the principal secret of her success, that she had everything necessary for the experiments, without giving a thought to the cost. The work of the investigator is not at its best if he has to worry about the ways and means. In the New England Kitchen the selection of the apparatus and material and the employment of labor have been without restriction. Without this freedom to carry on the experiments as seemed wise and prudent, the results detailed in the accompanying report could not have been attained.
The philanthropy of the scheme rests in the experimental stage of the development of the New England Kitchen. Whether the business can in the future take care of itself to the profit of those who conduct it remains to be seen ; but, in any event, kitchens of this kind cannot fail to be of great advantage to multitudes in moderate circumstances, who have hitherto been unable to buy good, nutritious, and tasteful cooked food.
For a charity that feeds the hungry there is no lack of the bounty of good people ; but it is safe to say that not many could be found who would be willing to give liberally and unrestrictedly to carry on a scientific experiment in the hope of learning how the people might be better fed.
Rumford Kitchen[edit]
In 1893, when Mrs. Richards had charge of the Rumford Kitchen at the World's Fair in Chicago, she accepted the added work and responsibility of arranging an exhibition of the work of Studies at Home.[8]
The opening statement of the Guide to the Rumford Kitchen: An Exhibit made by the State of Massachusetts in connection with the Bureau of Hygiene and Sanitation (World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, 1893) by General Francis A. Walker explains:[25]
|The exhibit known as the Rumford Kitchen is the outgrowth of the work, in the application of the principles of chemistry to the science of cooking, which has for three years been carried on as an educational agency by Mrs. Robert H. Richards and Mrs. Dr. John J. Abel, with pecuniary assistance from certain public-spirited citizens of Boston.
The Massachusetts Board of World's Fair Managers, recognizing the high scientific character of those who have initiated and conducted this enterprise, and believing that such practical demonstration of the usefulness of domestic science could not fail to be of advantage to multitudes of visitors to the Columbian Exposition, have invited the ladies named to open the Rumford Kitchen as a part of the exhibit of Massachusetts in connection with the Bureau of Hygiene and Sanitation.
In order to reduce, in some degree, the expenses of this exhibit, the food cooked in the Rumford Kitchen will be sold under a concession from the administration of the Exposition ; but it should be understood that this is not a money-making exhibit ; that nothing is cooked for the sake of being sold ; and that the enterprise is to be regarded as absolutely a scientific and educational one.
|The purpose of the exhibit in the Rumford Kitchen is two-fold : First, to commemorate the services to the cause of domestic science rendered by Count Rumford one hundred years ago, services which to-day stand unrivaled in spite of the progress of other departments during this century; second, to serve as an incentive to further work in the same direction, as he expressed it," to provoke men to investigation," "to cause doubt, that first step toward knowledge."
The first commercially available "modern" kitchen ranges began to appear about 1800, they were the invention of an American named Sir Benjamin Thompson, Count von Rumford.
American Public School Lunch Program[edit]
"The first major program had started in some Boston high schools in 1894, in large part due to Ellen Richards and Edward Atkinson. The New England Kitchen ran the program as a 'private enterprise' that paid for itself many times over. Although the lunches never became effective instruments for teaching the New Nutrition the founders had envisaged, by the early twentieth century they were praised for providing nutritionally sound meals and low prices to children who would not normally have them, and this became the main justification for similar lunch programs in other cities."[26]
In 1946, President Harry S. Truman signed into law the National School Lunch Program to provide low-cost or free school lunch meals to qualified students through subsidies to schools.[27] The program was established as a way to prop up food prices by absorbing farm surpluses, while at the same time providing food to school age children.[2] It was named after Richard Russell, Jr., and President Harry S. Truman signed into law in 1946.[28]
Lake Placid Conference[edit]
Early in September, 1899, trustees of the Lake Placid Club (Morningside, New York) thought it was the right time to bring together those most interested in home science, or household economics. They sent out many invitations for the Lake Placid Conference scheduled to take place Sept. 19-25, 1899. One of those invitations found its way to Mrs. Richards, a personal request by Mr. Melvil Dewey, one of the club's trustees, for her to attend. Standards of living was the subject of an evening lecture given by Mrs. Richards, who was elected chairman of the conference.[29]
American Home Economics Association[edit]
In 1908, Mrs. Richards was chosen the first president of the newly formed American Home Economics Association, which was renamed the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences in 1994. She also founded and funded the Association's periodical, the Journal of Home Economics, which began publication in 1909. It was renamed the Journal of Family and Consumer Sciences in 1994 when the Association changed its name.[8]
Her books and writings on this topic include Food Materials and their Adulterations (1886); Conservation by Sanitation; The Chemistry of Cooking and Cleaning; The Cost of Living (1899); Air, Water, and Food (1900); The Cost of Food; The Cost of Shelter; The Art of Right Living; The Cost of Cleanness; Sanitation in Daily Life (1907); and Euthenics, the Science of Controllable Environment (1910). Some of these went through several editions.
Richards died on March 30, 1911 at her home in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts suffering with angina.[1] She is buried in the family cemetery in Gardiner, Maine.

|Number 8: Drink up[33]
Healthy eating and clean drinking water have been issues of concern a lot longer than you realize. MIT home economics pioneer Ellen Swallow Richards (1842-1911) was an expert in the preparation of nutritious foods and led the first survey of water quality in America. The survey prompted Massachusetts to establish the first water-quality standards and municipal sewage treatment plant in the country. Richards was also the first woman admitted to MIT, its first female instructor, the foremost female industrial and environmental chemist of her era, and a huge advocate of educating women in science.

"The floral motif looks like it's executed in water color- with nice transparentcy - the paper also resembles water color paper in that it's not smooth. This gives a cohesive look to this card. If it were printed on flat paper it would not have looked as beautiful - and would look cheap. I should have varied the font style and size a bit more - perhaps making some lines bolder or larger - that aspect could have been improved - I also liked the square shape of this card - I didn't order the square envelope - the card fits well in the larger rectangular envelope - and when it's addressed it looks fine - but for a more formal/ custom look I suggest the custom square corresponding envelope. ( I think the postage is more - so double check with post office)."
"This invitation could not have been more perfect. Exactly the colors of the wedding in turquoise and coral. Vintage look is perfect for our shower theme at an old Victorian home"
"I loved this shower invite. It looks even prettier in person. I used the pumpkin color for the print and flower color and it turned out very pretty. This invite has the perfect name it is very delicate and elegant looking. I love them."
"I changed the background color to navy blue, the writing to lime green and filled in all the info with my own. These were beautiful and I had them in an extremely timely manner! This is my 2nd purchase from WPD. Can't wait to purchase more!!"
"The quality of the paper was very good and the printing turned out just how I wanted it! I just mailed out the invitations so I will not here any feedback until received."

Graffiti, politics, and tracking shots.
Oscar Ruiz Navia is a cinephile who never attended a proper film school. Part of a new generation of Colombian filmmakers, he developed his interest in film on his own, and in 2006 founded Contravía ("Another Way," in English), a production company to develop art house films in his country, where there is not a huge film industry. His first feature, Crab Trap (2010), won several awards, including the FIPRESCI prize at the Berlin Film Festival that year.
The director, who spends his time teaching and in movie clubs in Colombia, took four years to make Los Hongos, which will play at the New Directors/New Films series at MoMA/Lincoln Center on March 28 and 29.
The film is a scrappy comedy-drama about graffiti taggers in Santiago de Cali, Colombia. Ruiz Navia affectionately portrays the lives of its two leads, Ras (Jovan Alexis Marquinez), who lives with his religious mother, and Calvin (Calvin Buenaventura), who cares for his ailing grandmother. Mostly plotless, Los Hongos unfolds like a series of encounters for its characters and the audience. The film depicts the teens biking and skateboarding through the city, meeting up with a tagging crew to create a mural on a popular bridge, and becoming activists rebelling against authority and social injustice.
Inspired by Arab Spring videos, and the collective power of street art, Ras and Calvin soon realize the ramifications of their art and their actions as they have a series of run-ins with the police.[ Read More ]

I've never seen anything like this, and the help line at Raid! was puzzled too. Anyone else ever have this problem?
There must have been an Ant Armageddon somewhere near or under our master bathroom floor. Every morning for four days we've been vacuuming up hundreds of tiny dark brown and very dead ants both IN our shower and just outside it. I think the ants are bringing out their dead. I'd like to think this is tapering off. This morning I don't see *any* live ants, and there are only a couple dozen dead ones.
I'm guessing these are 'cement ants'. They are completely disinterested in the ant baits I put down 48 hours ago. They aren't interested in the shower drain. I can't see any nest in the basement.
Help? Advise?
We had a bad ant infestation a couple of months ago: mostly in the pantry (off the kitchen) but also in the bathroom, which is on the other side of the kitchen/pantry wall. I used several packages of Raid ant baits, esp. on pantry shelves and floor perimeter. Most helpful was another Raid product, a gel, which comes in a tube so you can squirt it out and place it exactly where you want it (could be a wall or the underside of a shelf, not necessarily a flat, horizontal surface). It does take several days to work, because the ants have to carry the bait back to the nest and feed the queen. Also, there will be waves of newly hatched ants that need to be exposed to the poison.
For a few days, I watched the ants swarm all over the bait, but I didn't kill them, so that they'd be able to take the food home. After 3 or 4 days, however, there was a huge drop-off in the ant sightings, and after a week or so, there were no more ants.
Good luck! I advise you to be patient, and I hope you get relief soon!
try using terro. we've been using this for a few years now and no ants. they have them for indoor and outdoor. I placed some around my porch area and those large black ants are gone. they also have the liquid you can drop on carboard and place in door. I just squited a few drops behind our baseboards and that seemed to help.
I had a weird ant infestation in a basement bathroom last year. Never had them in a bathroom before. I used the Terro baits and they didn't seem to work. I contacted Terro and they said to give it more time. They were right as the ants did disappear but it took weeks rather than a day which has been my typical experience.
I've been battling little black ants for weeks. I find them at the windows in my kitchen. I used the peanut butter and jelly mixed with Borax method and I was amazed at how that killed them off. Unfortunately they start to come back and that's when I reach for the Raid. I hate spraying that stuff around but desperate times call for desperate measures.
It is rather fascinating to watch the ants as they go about their work. If two of them meet head on, they stop and kind of greet each other. I was watching them for quite awhile, as they carried the poisoned PBJ back to the nest. Made me feel bad, but they should stay out of my kitchen.
I mix 1 T of PB, 1 T of jelly and 1/2 T of borax. Might be worth a try.
Carpenter ants can be as bad as termites. The ones I have around my place are inside damaged box alder trees. They eat the insde of the tree and eventually, the tree fails. However, I have seen tree colonies keep their tree for many years by leaving the live parts alone. The tree then breaks in a storm.
Carpenter ants - nasty. We live in the woods and have a cabin in the woods and both places are prime carpenter ant habitat. We have both houses treated preventatively but it completely freaks me out if I see one in or anywhere near the house. Makes me think they're chewing the house down.
We had a leaky window once and they invaded the wood that was rotting around the window. We caught it fairly early but had to replace the window.
I don't like using Raid because I have a dog and 3 cats indoors. I used to use Windex to kill the lines of ants I saw. Recently, a friend was here and there were ants outside my front door and I had no Windex. He suggested vinegar so I poured some white vinegar on them and haven't seen an ant since.
I guess I'll never know what this ant problems was all about. They are gone. No new bodies this morning. They never did go for the bait. They just stopped 'bringing out their dead'.
Whew! That was over just in time -- before our Westie kept us up most of the night with vomiting and depositing bloody, runny stools at random in the house. Gah! I put him in the (newly-ant-free) bathroom at 3 a.m. We took him to the vet this morning and came home with two kinds of prescription pills and Pepcid AC 10 mg. No food until tomorrow, and then only bland chicken and rice. Poor guy. I know he's sick because he'll stay in the bathroom without clawing at the door to get out.
Early bed for me tonight.
Just recently I read an article on ants. Apparently they said that sprinkling plain old cinnamon wherever the ants are spotted will stop them dead in their tracks.
Want to report that I tried it on a big area in our stone walkway where they seem to have an underground bunker....hello.....worked like a charm. I was prepared to redo the procedure a couple of times before it worked, but lo and behold, no more ants to report. I haven't noticed them anywhere else either. Hopefully they all went to ant heaven!
We just had the "battle of the ants" on the kitchen counter..We noticed them coming in on one corner and leaving behind another so we put little squares of cardboard loaded with Terro in their path and that took care of the little buggers.....But, I will have to remember the cinnamon the next time, if there is a next time......

@Steven Stevo
Why people in finance work long hours has always escaped. Certainly, it is not something that they structurally need to do. Halve the amount of hours work, halve the salary, and double the number of employees and the banks will get results that are no worse. If anything, the results will be better - all employees will be better rested, less stressed, and have a worldview that is broader that the spreadsheets in front of them.
Second, studying a lot in high school, college, and getting a top MBA has little to do with the skills one needs to work at a top finance firm. Indeed, as far as intellectually challenging, very high-skill tasks go, finance is nowhere near the top of the list. Rather, the key way that good grades and a good school help is to GET a job at a top finance firm - it is an exclusive club.
Both of these characteristics are actually consistent with a rent-seeking situation - the only way in which rents can be sizeable is if the number of people who are allowed to partake in these rents is carefully controlled.
Think the central bank 'greenspan...err bennake put) is the problem. Else many of the financial firms would be bust and the mass unemployment of the financial professionals will ensure lower wages...
I think in some perverse way globalisation and lack of regulation gives money 'makers' advantage over any other participant in the economy as only money can walk free - production lines can move with a slightly bigger difficulties and families of workers even more so. In any case one notices that something is wrong when in the economy like British one the only thriving industry is financial one. One smells fraud already when they start talk about industry in the first place or at least when one looks what 'industry' actually was supposed to mean: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/industry
I guess nothing will change anyway - why should it - after all the ones that can put out some regulation take money from the ones that they have to regulate.
well let them do as they please as introducing regulation may bring the whole industry down, destroy economy and promote free radicals in humans.
"If the big funds in effect own the market in aggregate, then frenetic trading activity is fruitless, even before costs. Perhaps they are chasing a chimera: they all wish to be above-average performers."
Even if the big funds to not own the market, surely most frenetic trading activity is fruitless or worse? Assuming each transaction carries a cost, a clever fund manager can increase his/her chances of getting better-than-average returns simply by doing very little. There must be a better explanation for the fruitless frenetic trading activity.
The ordinary people just want to earn good returns at lower risks,yet,they receive the financial products without being informed the higher risks.And the fact is that the financial secter obtain wonderful bonus and benefits while the general invester only be responsible for the great risks .Now ,the big risks of big financial section have been transmitted to the government and all taxpayers must to pay for it ...
Really hammers the head of the nail where it matters. We as a global community had been growing on a virtual economy were the main "rent seekers" had been the financial peoples. In A WAY WE HAVE ALL BEEN SUBSIDIZING THE GAMBLES THEY HAVE BEEN PLAYING AND PARADOXICALLY LOOSING. AND ADD TO THE INJURY POST THEIR LOSS WE HAVE BEEN PROVIDING WITH MORE OF FUNDS I.E. FINANCIAL STIMULUS SO THAT AFTER SOME COOL-OFF TIME THEY HAVE RESUME WITH THEIR GAMBLE ONCE AGAIN.
The key point, from my perspective, would be that "how" but not "why" to eliminate the rent of banking industry. What the public has seen is that the governments are continuously bailing out the industry. Although people are appealing that profits of banks be transparent, they lack robust countermeasures that prevent banks from getting profits when the economy gets better. Policymakers care about a "stable" or "growing" rather than a "reasonable" economy. Who would stand up and stop banks? This question would remain for long time even after this crisis pass by.
Corrupt politicians are trashing societies, and they haven't quite trashed everyone yet, so this trash is promoted.
Journalists acting as slave herders, trying to make sure that everyone fails equally in this grand migration to world poverty and tyranny.
The banks lost their shirts and now complaints about too much money?
The most obvious justified complaint would be overnight interest on funds held with the Fed--the _government_ is paying the banks directly--for what? Nothing.
Free markets will solve their own problems with competitors that drive prices down.
You said it...
If not now then when?
This article has come not a day too soon. The Economist is finally talking in its language.
Keep it up.
It's because we hallowed out our economy, and only profitable activities are middleman gigs like marketing, sales, banking, and lawyering. The bits that actually produce real goods are heavily subsdized - defence, farming, and energy.
You don't see the same lopsided bankers' salaries in countries that actually make stuff and profit making them.
During the past 30 years, the innovations of the IT industry have enriched us all and transformed society. Yet, the rewards for many of the key figures, such as Tim Berners-Lee and Linus Torvalds, have been modest. At least, modest compared to what's on offer in the finance industry.
The benefits of the various innovations of the finance industry during the same period, such as hedge funds and CDOs, are much more difficult to quantify. Mostly, they seem to have benefited the innovators at a cost to the rest of us.
The levels at which banking executives are being remunerated became unsustainable because the executive conspired with the reserve bankers to falsely lower the price of investment risk.
Bailout facilitation represents more than the term "moral hazard" implies because it directly affects the risk pricing of equity and the cost of banking wholesale funding. Equity pricing and dividends in turn fuel executive and board remuneration.
Unreported future banking liabilities have been disguised by the banking executive, the regulators, and the political estate on an "extend and pretend" basis. Meanwhile rewards are stolen by both executive bonus and the stockholder dividend while the true nature of the balance sheet is disguised by crony interest groups (Chuck Prince's "you just have to keep dancing until the music stops") until such time as the losses are transfered to the taxpayer.
Reserve bankers and crony economists promote the bodgey CPI basket in order to disguise asset inflation and artificially lower interest rates in order to inflate economies. Reserve bankers that combine the public bailout backstop with an overly cheap money supply have achieved an autocratic redistribution of wealth to the non wealth creating sectors of all economies.
In the reserve bankers lexicon economies are now a pantomine where debt fueled services sectors are a usefull distraction that builds economic activity and the ticket clipping abilities of both the taxman and the crony asset inflating estate. It is only when debt is curtailed that this pantomine falls to pieces and deleveraging margin calls against tricked up bad collateral is exposed against a global reserve currency hegemony built by those same reserve bankers.
The USD is an expeditionary political tool armed by unrestrained money printing. The US executive government in buying its own debt names the near zero interest rate it feels appropriate, inflation is exported as the world reserve currency globally and imported goods deflation is counterbalanced by local economy asset and services inflation.
Whither the controls are in place or not, the squidgy Bankers will still demand the hugemongous bonuses because the Wall street banks are simply too big to fail.
Hey, it is very simple: bank guys mix with people who have money. So there is always something falling off the table. Then came the 'simplification' of being paid by bank transfer. So everybody has a bank account... So everybody is a customer.. Not only that: bin Laden and the drug barons made sure we cannot carry more than 10000$ cash, again we have to use the banks...and since we are all customers with no way out, the banks raise fees and cash more for less. They speculate and if they win they pay super bonus, if they lose we bail them out...
Any more questions.
Finally. Tn Emperor has no clothes.
"...research showing that economies of scale peak when banks have $5 billion-10 billion of assets".
If the world were truly capitalistic, we would have bank caps by now.
This is certainly an interesting topic. The well publicized bonuses and salaries of Wall Street seem completely outrageous with respect to what very limited good they seem to do ( and harm they apparently do). In Canada, our banks did not really participate in the worst of the sub-prime mess or get caught in serious sovereign debt problems ( yet) and the senior management of our banks, while very well compensated, did not walk off with hundreds of millions ( or even tens). For Canada I think the issue is more a question of overall bank profitability and whether or not they function as benefits the economy and society. Given that their profits mostly return to society through the shareholders, I am only left to wonder whether the actual activities they pursue are of benefit or harm. I recall reading about 20 years ago that the average lawyer in the U.S. cost the economy over 1 million dollars. Perhaps the same is true of bankers. I vote we get rid of the lawyers first.
If the banksters didn't own Washington, wouldn't it be nice for me to use my own retirement account to fund my own house purchase? Talk about disintermediation - it would put three industries out of operation. Plus provide a better return on my retirement funds and a lower mortgage rate. Guess that will never be allowed.
As it is, I pay a retirement fund manager about 0.5% per year, a mortgage servicer 0.375% per year, a mortgage lender a premium over their cost of funds and I am sure there are others with their hands in my pocket.
The way it is now, if I withdraw my retirement funds for a house purchase, I forfeit the tax deferral. Pretty big penalty.

a great place to stay in the heart of banbury
this was our first stay at the cromwell after it was recomended to us by family.
the hotel was everything we wanted in olde worlde charm, our room was lovely with a lovely quiet double aspect window. the room was very clean and beds very comfy, all staff we encountered were pleaseant and professional at all times. the hotel is only a stonesthrow from the main part of banbury so was ideal for us. breakfast was ample and warm with plenty of tea and toast, we will definately return, hopefully for longer next time.

Very pleasant, helpful staff.
Good food - particularly the breakfasts. Rooms looking very tired, soundproofing poor, fixtures and fittings poor or broken. There is a general look that the entire hotel needs refurbishing.

A lovely hotel with character.
The only criticism was the delay with breakfast. There was obviously staff shortage and we waited 45 minutes for our breakfast to be served. I only asked for beans on toast. There was no apology. If staffing for breakfast is increased I would stay again.

Great town-centre stop over
I have used the Cromwell many times and am pleased that the rooms have finally been re-furbished.
Service can be a bit hit and miss as they are trying to staff reception, the bar and the restaurant - same with the car park, it is also used as a local pub, so there were no spaces for guests when I arrived. Bar prices are the usual over-priced that seems to be the norm in Oxfordshire. The food quality was not brilliant, but certainly adequate. If you want Banbury, this is a fantastic location - this place tends to fluctuate between adequate and good - I did not catch them at their best on this occasion, but no complaints.

We had a Lovely room, the bed was amazingly comfortable.
It was a bit noisy on the main road in the morning, so request a room out the back. Breakfast was superb, plenty to eat and very tasty. I would use this hotel again.

Courtney Raio is a Managing Director for NYSE Euronext (NYSE: NYX).
Markets slid today on renewed concern about the European banks as well as disappointing economic reports and bearish comments from NY Fed President Dudley. The Dow fell 419 points (3.68%) and the S&P closed 53 points (4.46%) lower. The decline was broad based as five of the ten S&P 500 sectors finished down over 5% on the day.
Morgan Stanley issued a report today, indicating it is cutting its outlook for global growth, saying the United States and Euro-zone are "dangerously close to recession." The note indicates that Morgan Stanley has cut its view for global GDP to +3.9%, down from 4.2% for 2011, and to 3.8% from 4.5% for 2012. The note also predicted that the European Central Bank will cut its rates after hiking the rate twice this year.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the Fed is taking a closer look at European banks who have operations in the United States. The Fed is looking into the banks' access to funds on a daily basis, gauging their ability to operate amid the pressure the debt crisis in Europe has created. The report follows the news that an unnamed European bank borrowed $500 million from the ECB yesterday, for the first time since February.
The Philadelphia Fed released their report on Mid-Atlantic manufacturing, showing that the index has hit a two and a half year low. The index unexpectedly fell to -30.7 in August (readings below 0 signal contraction), down from 3.2 in July. Economists' had been expecting the reading to increase to 3.7.
The Consumer Price Index rose 0.5% in July, higher than the 0.2% economists were expecting, driven higher by gasoline prices. The reading complicates the justification for any easing efforts the Fed could make, however the core figure (ex- food and gas) which the Fed keys in on, was in-line with expectations of 0.2%.
Jobless claims rose 9k last week, and back over 400k for the 18th time in the last 19 weeks. The previous week's reading was revised to a shade under 400k (399k) up from 395k. Businesses are reluctant to add workers because consumer confidence continues to be hampered by concerns about European debt, the S&P downgrade of the US credit rating and turmoil in the markets.
New York Fed President Dudley made comments this morning that the economy is growing slower than the Fed expected, and although he has revised down his expectation for the pace of the recovery, he expects we will see stronger growth in the second half. Dudley would not give specific comment on the monetary policy set forth in the FOMC statement last week, but did say that he thinks the actions taken will support economic activity and jobs.
President Obama has accused Syrian President Bashar al-Assad of "torturing and slaughtering" his people, and both the United States and EU have called for the President to step down. In addition to condemning the actions, President Obama ordered that Syrian government assets in the United States be frozen. A United Nations investigation has revealed that President al-Assad's forces have killed over 1,900 civilians in systematic attacks.
Market Indices/Statistics:
Companies in the News:
Hewlett Packard closed lower (-3.12% to $30.41) after confirming it is in discussions regarding a possible business combination with Autonomy Corporation plc in a deal that is being reported as worth up to $10 billion. HP also announced that it is discontinuing its operations for webOS devices, pursuing strategic alternatives for its Personal Systems Group, and announced their Q3 earnings. HPQ reported Q3 earnings of $1.10, in line with expectations, but its FY revenue view came in at $127.2-127.6 billion, just below analysts' forecasts of $129 billion.
Shares of Scana Corp. traded higher today (+1.37% to $39.15) following a report from dealreporter.com that the company is a potential takeover target.
Noble Energy (-5.58% to $83.03) announced a strategic partnership with Consol Energy (+0.40% to $42.59) for CONSOL's Marcellus Shale acreage in a deal valued at $3.4 billion.
Coca-Cola announced it will invest $4 billion over the next three years, beginning in 2012, for long-term sustainable growth in China. The investment will be used to enhance the consumer experience, ensure product affordability and build brand loyalty. Shares of KO closed lower (-2.19% to $67.76) on the day.
Gamestop Corp. traded higher (+4.74% to $21.43) after reporting Q2 earnings per share before the bell this morning. GME reported Q2 earnings per share of $0.22 on sales of $1.74 billion vs. estimates of $0.21 per share on $1.81 billion in sales. Shares were pushed higher because the results, while missing expectations were not as bad as investors had feared.
Shares of CACI International Inc. were flat today (-0.02% to $48.81) after reporting earnings per share of $1.28 for the fourth quarter on $963 million in revenue, ahead of expectations of $1.17 per share on $958 million in revenue.
The Toro Company reported earnings per share of $1.11 in Q3, slightly lower than analysts' forecasts of $1.13 per share. The company also confirmed their FY guidance, saying it sees FY earnings per share around $3.60, in-line with expectations of $3.62. Shares of TTC traded 4.76% lower to $47.22 in today's session.

Anyone Baking this Weekend?
Is anyone baking this nice fall day? I just took a ten inch and an 11 inch black raspberry pie out of the oven and I have a 9 inch black raspberry and a 10 inch peach pie in the oven. I plan to bake some cookies too. The cookies will be for the church meal and the peach and the 11 inch pie too. One ten inch raspberry pie will go in the freezer and the 9 inch will be for us to have this weekend. It is very pretty out now, nice and sunny and it has made it up to 50. Are you doing any baking?
Sue in Central Indiana
My mind is wanting to make that chocolate buttermilk cake I posted the other day, but my body isn't cooperating. My back has been giving me fits the last few days.
I did make a Thai sesame cucumber salad earlier.
That sure is a lot of pie--wish we were sisters :-)
You could be my sister Patti, I do have a sister. She is a good pie baker. I just added some chocolate walnut brownies to my list of things and they are in the oven now. Then I will do the sugar cookies. Potato soup is one of my favorite soups too Bigack. I can relate to back pain Patti. I hope you feel better soon.
Goodness gracious Ms. Sue, move a little closer to me!!! To answer your question, no, I'm not baking this weekend, however, I do bake (made a peach pie a few weeks ago with some fresh fruits we picked up on a little trip up to north Georgia).
Your pies sound delicious, the raspberry pie does particularly as I've never had one.
I bake in the wee hours. Getting ready to bake a cake in a bit. Having a Halloween party on Thursday. I always freeze my cake before for easier icing. I'll probably bake something else too. So nice to have a large oven. Maybe a bundt cake or muffins.
Mini rant: Of course if it's a warm day the icing will be difficult anyway thanks to stupid California legislatures who banned trans fats in the shortening. So I have to work with unstable trans fat free shortening and my cake will taste less like the usual.
All the traditional "buttercream" decorators are tearing their hair out around these parts. I can't buy my base until the last minute since it is not heat stable and my house has no ac. Planning to try a new recipe but it includes butter so still won't help with the issue of weeping and crusting. Thanks nanny state.
Maybe I should just do cookies. My black marketed silver dragees just got here. :-D Seriously. No one would ship them, out of fear. I finally found a source but her supply is almost gone. LOL I went and snagged the last 2 bags.
Hoping to cross state lines soon to get my shortening before it's banned in all fifty states. ;-)
No glender, it DOESN'T COUNT! ;)
Wildy, I don't know how you can live there.. my sympathies. I marvel at how a state blessed so richly as California can blow it so thoroughly and completely. There are many Hollywood ventures being shot here in Georgia lately (to escape California's burdensome taxes, I hope they bring the cash and leave the nanny state behind).
I apologize, this is a baking thread. Hey, I'm going to make a half-baked cake and name it "Sacramento"!!! Squeel!
Sorry. lol
On the positive side, California just passed a cottage food law so now I can start my own business so I'm grateful for that. That's interesting about the trans-fat free shortening not performing as well. I've never used shortening in my buttercream so I'm not familiar with those issues. Can you order it online?
I'm not a big baker anyway but it's still to warm here for me to turn on the oven.
I've been making those jello bake pies lately,dh loves those as do i and they are sooooooooo easy.
I try not to eat too much dessert,and if i have it here it's too tempting.DH will bring home a cake or something from the store at least once a week,but as you know store bought doesn't compare in anyway with fresh baked.
Marilyn Sue,do you grow all those fruits you make your goodies from??
We do grow the black raspberries but not the peaches. The past two years our wild black raspberries have not produced either because of someone mowing them down or the frost got to them. When we do have them we pick all we can get in and around our woods, usually about 50 quarts a season.

Jesse and his girlfriend Patrycia, I believe I got the spelling right, were very cool guests! Laid back, relaxed, and truly easy going. They stayed for two nights and got to enjoy one of my favorite parts of the property, the VIEW! The sun was shining and they looked so peaceful, which made me happy. The icing on the cake was when they left me a very sweet note about their stay along with a very cute and simple drawing of themselves...THAT MADE MY DAY! I totally recommend them as guests!
Jesse is a wonderful guest. He and his friend loved Venice and were so warm, appreciative and respectful. They had a difficult moment when Jesse accidentally got a cut and he communicated with forthrightedness and compassion. I hope they return and enjoy the house again this summer!
Jesse and his girlfriend were great guests. Super easy going, clean and respectful of my bungalow. Welcome back anytime!
Great guest
Jesse and his were were wonderful guests - we all got along famously and were able to give them some good suggestions as far as their shoots in the south. They were very all interesting, clearly talented people who we would have back any time.
Jesse and his 6 friends stayed at my Guesthouse in Hella, Iceland in December. Unfortunately I did not meet them personally, as I was staying in Copenhagen on a holiday.
When Jesse first asked for accommodation I told him I would be away at the time. But because he was so polite and kind I wanted to help. Asked my eldest daughter living in Reykjavik if she could help. Yes, she could, so she was staying at my house while Jesse and his crew was there. My daughter said the group consisted of extremely nice and friendly people, so she invited them to a breakfast the last day they were staying.
Jesse! I hope you and your friends will come again. You are welcome.
