From: Pflugerville, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Edible Plants, Poisonous Plants, Herbs/Forbs
Title: Effects of Hedysarum mackenzii from Pflugerville TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:What are the effects of Hedysarum mackenzii?
Since this plant is found in far northern Alaska and Canada, it is not likely to show up in Travis or Williamson Counties; plus, you did not give us a valid e-mail address so this probably will not get back to you anyway, but we try to give all questions as much of an answer as we can.
One souce we consulted (Wikipedia) said: "Hedysarum (Sweetvetch) is a genus of the botanical family Fabaceae, consisting of about 309 species of annual or perennial herbs in Asia, Europe, North Africa, and North America." This article also said it needed documentation, which we believe to be true. As a member of the Fabaceae (pea) family, it is related to the bluebonnet, and pictures we found of the bloom somewhat resembled the iconic Texas wildflower.
However, further research on our part found several articles recounting Native Americans' use of the plant in Alaska and Canada. The plant does not appear in our Native Plant Database nor in the USDA Plants website, which is the basis for our information. Here are some links to sites we found with more information:
From wikispaces.com Hedysarum mackenzii vs. Hedysarum alpinum
From the Ethnobotany Journal: Is Hedysarum mackenziei (yes, that's how they spelled it) (Wild Sweet Pea) actually toxic?
From the Circle District Historical Society of Central Alaska Hedysarum mackenzii.
Your question was "What is the effect of Hedysarum mackenzii? Since the experts don't seem to be able to agree on whether it is poisonous or not, we really don't know. We do feel relatively sure you are not likely to stumble on it in Central Texas.

Parshas Pekudei – Shekalim: Forge On
However, there was still a certain amount of silver remaining after the sockets were made. But Moshe could not recall what that silver was used for. The scoffers immediately began accusing Moshe of pocketing the excess silver. Their unfounded accusation caused Moshe untold distress. Then finally the Divine Presence reminded Moshe that the excess silver had been used to construct the hooks which held up the pillars. "And from the one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five he made hooks for the pillars…[16]"
Why did Moshe forget about that remaining silver?
Rav Moshe Wolfson explains that the silver contributed by the 600,000 Jews was used for the sockets. The remaining 3,550 Jews were sinners who were evicted from the main camp. The silver that they contributed was not used for the sockets but for the hooks that upheld the pillars. Because those who were rejected from the camp donated that silver, Moshe could not recall what they were used for.[17]
Haman offered Achashveirosh 10,000 silver talents to counterbalance the half-shekel that the 600,000 Jews gave in the desert. But he did not offer more to counter the contributions of the remaining 3,550 Jews. Haman, like his ancestor Amalek, was sure that the sinners were rejected and were no longer counted with the rest of the nation. Therefore, he felt no need to counter their contribution.
In fact, this was the logic behind Haman's entire diabolical plan. He was sure that if he could lure the Jews to sin by having them participate in the party of Achashveirosh they would be rejected by G-d and vulnerable to destruction.[18]
But Amalek and Haman were severely mistaken. Every Jew is beloved and precious, and that never changes.
One who would say kaddish for himself has given up and has allowed despondency and despair to overtake him. He may be breathing but he is no longer alive, for he has allowed his spirit of vibrancy to wither.
Amalek was convinced that G-d would forsake egregious sinners. The fact that we continue to wage war against our implacable foe proves that no Jew – no matter how far he has strayed – is dispensable or replaceable. The holiday of Purim is the celebration of the infinitesimal and innumerable value of every single Jew. Even when a Jew has given up on himself he must know that His Creator will never give up on him.

[5] He erred in his calculation because he thought the seventy years began from when his father, King Nevuchadnezzar, ascended the throne. Achashveirosh also erred in his calculation because he too began the count prematurely. He reckoned that the seventy years began when Yechoniah HaMelech was exiled by Nevuchadnezzar. In truth, the calculation should have begun from when the first Bais HaMikdash was destroyed in 3338. Indeed in 3408, seventy years after its destruction King Darius, the son of Achashveirosh, permitted the rebuilding of the Bais HaMikdash to commence.
[6] Achashveirosh himself possessed no royal blood. He was a valiant general (Xerxes) who ruthlessly fought his way to the throne. His only legitimacy lay in the fact that he married Vashti, a Babylonian princess.

Close your eyes, breathe in deeply, now exhale slowly… That was easy, wasn't it? Not for everyone…
Economic sanctions – such as those imposed against Iran, Libya, North Korea, apartheid South Africa (not to mention the JFK imposed embargo during the Cuban missile crisis) – have long been recognized as legitimate means, short of all out war, to pressure governments to change odious behavior.
All but the blind and dedicated Israel haters can see that it is Hamas, by its indiscriminate shelling of civilians in southern Israel, that has engaged in crimes against humanity, and is directly responsible for the suffering of its constituents in Gaza.
Arbour deserves credit on at least one front: she is nothing if not consistent. During the 2006 war in Lebanon, while minimizing Israeli suffering from the shelling into the north by Hizbullah (more than 40 civilians killed, over 1200 injured and hundreds of thousands forced to relocate), she actually threatened war crimes prosecutions of Israeli political and military leaders for actions which, as any objective observer understood, were taken to protect civilians from missiles intentionally aimed at them from sites purposely embedded in Lebanese civilian areas.
Hizbullah's campaign of indiscriminate missile attacks – like those of the Nazi V rockets assaults that wreaked havoc on London and Brussels – have no military value whatsoever. They had one purpose and one purpose only: to terrorize the innocent. Israel had every right under international law to defend its citizens and knock out the missile sites. Somehow, the former judge and war crimes prosecutor managed to miss these inconvenient truths.
The nauseatingly predictable knee jerk reactions from Arbour and the "human rights" community make clear that, when it comes to Israel, hypocrisy rules the day at the UN.

The espionage charges leveled against American scientist Stewart David Nozette raise more questions than they answer – and those questions should deeply trouble, if not outrage, the American Jewish community.
That the UN is hostile to Israel hardly comes as a surprise. The perfidy that permeates the house over which Kurt Waldheim once presided can be cut with a knife; Israel bashing has become an integral part of the culture of that body. Such duplicity does not appear from thin air – it must be nurtured and stoked by individuals who, by dint of impressive titles, can command international attention and influence public opinion and thus cause much mischief.
On April 27, 1987, as director of the Office of Special Investigations (OSI) in the Justice Department, I notified the INS that Austrian President Kurt Waldheim was to be placed on the "Watchlist" of persons barred from entering the United States.
Fascinating, isn't it, to watch professors Stephen Walt (Harvard) and John Mearsheimer (University of Chicago) attain near rock-star status by resurrecting the tired and discredited canard that U.S. foreign policy is dictated by a devious, dangerous and disloyal cabal known as the pro-Israel lobby – sort of a Protocols of the Middle-Agers of Zion.

text: We spent 15 nights at this wonderful hotel in February 2015 for the first time and never left the resort for day trips. The reason we did not take trips was that we were so relaxed and happy and could not make the effort. We have now booked 21 nights next year so that we can go on some trips... More

It was very good experience as apartment is in very prime location and in a very good condition.

District 200 to hold special meeting on OPRF teacher layoffs
By Devin Rose
The District 200 school board will hold a special meeting Wednesday to address the recent reduction in force, or RIF, of teachers at Oak Park and River Forest High School.
OPRF and other school districts in the area and state routinely dismiss some of their part-time and non-tenured teachers as part of their class scheduling for the next school year. Some teachers are hired back after they receive a RIF notice, while others are not.
After OPRF teachers were dismissed by the board on March 22, some students protested by setting up a Facebook page, website and Twitter account.
The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the school's board room, where the board will make a motion to go into closed session to discuss "the appointment, employment and/or dismissal of personnel," the agenda says. At 7:30 p.m., the public is invited to the Little Theatre to make comments and hear background information about the issue.

Briefly: New Mac OS X 10.6.5 beta, iPod levies in EU, News Corp shelving digital newsstand projectApple has released a new beta for its forthcoming Mac OS X 10.6.5 update, while an EU court ruling may block 'copying levies' placed on iPods and iPhones. Also, News Corp. is putting its plans for an iPad-specific digital newsstand on hold, a new report claims.
Mac OS X 10.6.5
Apple's latest pre-release copy of Mac OS X 10.6.5 is labeled build 10H562. The beta was released to developers late Thursday as a 616MB delta update. According to the release notes, there are no known issues. With new builds coming steadily for several months now, the update is expected to arrive in advance of the November release of iOS 4.2.
The seed note accompanying the build specifies Printing as a "Focus Area." 10.6.5 will work with iOS devices running iOS 4.2 to enable the new AirPrint wireless printing functionality. 10.6.4, the last update to Mac OS X 10.6, came in June with fixes to Adobe Creative Suite 3 issues and a resolution for unresponsive keyboards and trackpads.
EU rules on iPod levies
The European Court of Justice has ruled against overly broad copying levies that could affect iPods, smartphones and other devices, according to iPodNN. Copying levies place a fee on blank media and devices that allow copying, then distribute that fee to content owners and copyright holders. The ruling, which needs to be codified by the European Commission, would limit private copying levies to devices explicitly meant for copying (e.g., a DVD burner). If upheld, it could result in lower prices for European consumers on devices like the iPod, iPhone, and even printers.
News Corp.'s iPad Division
News Corp. is shelving a plan to create a subscription-based digital newsstand for iPad content, a person "familiar with the matter" has told the Wall Street Journal. "Project Alesia," as it was known, was a tablet-focused initiative with the goal of "selling access to news from a variety of publishers."
The source told the Journal, which News Corp. owns, that the media conglomerate had invested around $31.5 million on the venture, with over 100 people working on it in the U.K., although the company still sees the idea as potentially having "tremendous value" to the industry.
Rumors of a News Corp. tablet subscription service emerged this summer, picking up steam when News Corp.-owned Fox agreed to a 99-cent TV show rental plan for streaming the network's shows to the new Apple TV. At the time, it was suggested that News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch had agreed to the rental model to cement a relationship with Apple in hopes of creating a digital newsstand for the iPad.

Don't give your dog a bone... it may kill him! Tesco treat is withdrawn from sale as family pet dies after being given Bob Martin chew
- Burtie, a two-year-old miniature schnauzer, became ill and was unable to walk after a bone splintered, causing fragments to rupture his stomach
- He was given painkillers in hope he would pass bones naturally
- But his condition deteriorated and he had to be put to sleep
- Owner Anna Carey believes problem was caused by a Bob Martin's ham bone bought from Tesco
Animal-lovers have warned 'never give a dog a bone' after a pet died from being given a treat.
Burtie, a two-year-old miniature schnauzer, died after a bone splintered, causing fragments to rupture his stomach.
Within hours he became sick and was unable to walk.
Never give a dog a bone: Burtie, a two-year-old miniature schauzer (pictured with his owner Anna Carey, died after a bone splintered, causing fragments to rupture his stomach
Tragic: Bertie became sick within hours and was unable to walk. He was given painkillers in the hope he would pass the bones naturally, but his condition deteriorated and he had to be put to sleep
He was given painkillers in the hope he would pass the bones naturally, but his condition deteriorated and he had to be put to sleep.
Owner Anna Carey, 42, from Worthing, believes the problem was caused by a Bob Martin's premium ham bone she bought from Tesco for £2.09.
She said: 'My advice is "Don't give a dog a dry bone" because they are more likely to splinter. We are so sad; it's been such a shock.
'I don't think a product like that should be on sale. I don't want any other pet owner to go through what we did, watching our dog suffer such agonising pain.'
Warning: Anna Carey (pictured left with her husband Andrew Lancaster) believes the problem stemmed from a Bob Martin's premium ham bone she bought from Tesco for £2.09
Action: Tesco (store in Hove, where the bone was bought, pictured) has withdrawn the bone from sale and Bob Martin is reviewing the future of the item
Tesco has withdrawn the bone from sale and Bob Martin is reviewing the future of the item. It paid Anna £2,300 to cover vet's costs but didn't accept liability.
A Bob Martin spokesman said: 'We are looking at the packaging as consumers don't understand the risks of giving a pet a natural product.'
Tesco said: 'We've taken this item off our shelves while an urgent review is carried out.'

The head of a British parliamentary commission on the food industry has called for all meat imports from the European Union to be suspended while investigations continue into the horsemeat scandal.
Anne McIntosh, chairwoman of the House of Commons food and rural affairs committee and a member of the governing Conservative Party, advised people to buy fresh meat locally.
The government has rejected a temporary ban, saying it would be against EU rules.
The Romanian food industry has repudiated French claims that horsemeat found in beef products came from its abattoirs.
But the government in Bucharest is more cautious and is investigating. Agriculture Minister Daniel Constantin said: "I asked for a report (on the possible export of horsemeat) and I don't want to comment before the head of the Sanitary-Veterinary Authority presents it to me. I hope to identify exporters as soon as possible. In the end it is a matter of product control here, before they left for other EU markets."
The minister said French authorities had cast suspicion on two Romanian abattoirs. France, Britain and Ireland are investigating discoveries of horsemeat in meat products.
In the UK Findus has said it believes the contamination in beef lasagne was deliberate.
The authorities say there is no threat to health. But the scandal has revealed a complicated pan-European chain of meat suppliers and traders, raising questions about quality control.

Many people recognize the Patel Conservatory for our exceptional ballet program. They may not know, however, that the Conservatory recently expanded our dance program by adding more classes and more flexibility for students wanting to study additional dance styles.
Led by Kelly King, a former Radio City Rockette for 12 years, the new Patel Conservatory Popular Dance program allows dancers to explore popular dance styles for opportunities such as Broadway, television, theme parks and more.
The growth of the program in the past year inspired a new camp this summer, the Popular Dance Intensive, which will be Aug. 10 through Aug. 14, 2015.
Parker Espada, 13, who joined the Conservatory's ballet program last summer to work on her technique, also participated in the Popular Dance program.
"I liked it because it was different from what we were doing in my other classes [jazz and ballet]. It allowed me to work on contemporary and get the challenge that I needed to improve as a dancer," she said.
The week-long intensive, led by King and Patel Conservatory dance faulty Susan Downey, will immerse dancers in multiple forms of commercial dance including tap, Broadway, contemporary and musical theater.
"I'm looking forward to taking different styles of dance, like tap. I normally don't take tap," said Parker.
Students will work with teaching artists who have years of professional experience on Broadway, on tour, and in television and film. The week will culminate in a ticketed performance in the Straz Center's Ferguson Hall on Sat., Aug. 15 at 2:30 p.m.
Students will also be given the opportunity to audition a contemporary or jazz solo that may be included in the show.
Parker looks forward to the week-long intensive as part of her training. She hopes to one day be a professional dancer and feels the Conservatory has helped push her to the next level.
Being at the Conservatory, "has been a very, very good experience. As a dancer, it's allowed me to grow."
The Popular Dance Intensive is open to dancers in grades six through 12. For more information or to register, call 813.222.1040 or visit strazcenter.org.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Spring rains east of Baton Rouge had poured fog across Mobile Bay. A cool breeze, stirred up by warm days and cool nights, swept down the beach and across the second-floor deck where it tugged at my robe. Inside, through French doors, red dots hovered in the dark over the bedside table, showing that it was a little after four in the morning.
Glenfiddich scotch and Umbérto Eco had finally put me under a little after midnightabout three hours before I woke and wandered out on the deck. I was getting used to it. You can get a lot of thinking done if you aren't able to sleep.
The bedroom phone was ringing. A greenish-white glow pulsed next to the red dots on the clock. The answering machine was off, and I watched the telephone ring for most of a minute before walking into the bedroom. I picked up the handset and cleared my throat. "Hello?"
A woman's voice said, "Tom?"
"Yeah, this is Tom."
"Tom, this is Susan Fitzsimmons. I apologize for calling in the middle of the night."
I felt for the switch on the bedside lamp, and yellow light jarred the backs of my eyes. "Are you all right?"
Susan said, "I'm fine. Something bad has happened though."
"What do you mean by `something bad'?"
"There's someone here with me who needs to talk to you. We need some legal advice on how to handle a disturbing situation."
I had known Susan for six months. We met in early October when fall was just starting to cool the GulfCoast. She was smart and graceful and striking, and I had almost gotten her killed. Or, at least, I was one reason among many why Susan found herself limping through the holidays recovering from knife wounds. One set of reasons was that her artist husband had gotten greedy, crossed my little brother, and ended up with his throat sliced open. Another was that I stuck my nose in and figured out what happened and, along the way, managed to bring an impressively dangerous person into Susan's life. Now she had only fading memories of her dead husband and, apparently, a friend in trouble. I had a dead brother and a long line of sleepless nights. And I was not blind to the possibility that, over the past few months, I might have been wallowing in it a bit.
I reached for the pen and pad on the bedside table. I asked, "Where are you?"
"We're at the beach house on St. George. The girl who needs to talk to you is," she paused, "a friend of mine here on the island. She thinks she may have seen someone get killed. You know, murdered. Earlier tonight on the beach."
I thought, damn. I said, "I'm assuming she wasn't involved."
"No. Well, only to the extent that she saw it happen."
"Then the advice is easy. Call the cops."
"She wasn't involved, but it's more complicated than that." Susan sounded unsure of what to say. "I think she needs to talk to a lawyer."
"What's complicated about it?"
Susan didn't answer.
"It's okay to talk on the phone. No one's listening."
"You're right. I guess it's silly, but I am uncomfortable talking this way. Part of the problem is, well, you know how it is down here on the coast. Somebody disappears or you see somebody flashing a wad of money or somebody looks like they're up to no good, first thing that pops into your head is it's got something to do with drugs. And you never know whose brother or cousin or friend might be involved, so you don't know who's safe to talk to."
"She thinks she saw some kind of drug hit?"
"Tom, she doesn't know what it was. Just that somebody got killed right in front of her, and she's scared out of her mind. And here's the complicated part. She's a runaway, and she's a minor. She's absolutely terrified that her family's going to find out where she is and come get her. You know, if she goes to the police and they check her out and find out she's a runaway."
"Susan, maybe her father or mother coming to get her is the best thing that could come out of this."
"I don't think so."
"What do you mean, you don't think so? You can't decide something like that on your own."
"In this case, I can."
"I guess there's something you're not telling me."
She didn't answer.
I gave up. "When did it happen?"
"When did what happen?"
"The murder. When did this friend ... What's her name?"
"Carli. Carli Monroe."
"When did Carli see this happen?"
"About three hours ago, I think."
"Yes, I know." Susan hesitated, then said, "She needs to talk to a lawyer, Tom. I hate to ask, but could you come down here?"
"Susan, I know she's scared, but I'm not a criminal attorney. Hell, I'm not even licensed in Florida. And I'm supposed to be at a meeting in Tuscaloosa this afternoon. My advice is to find a good local attorney, somebody who's down at the courthouse every week drinking coffee with the prosecutors and bailiffs, and work through him or her."
Susan lowered her voice. "Tom, it's taken me two hours to get her to let me make this call." She had cupped her hand over the mouthpiece, and her muffled words buzzed around the edges. "Carli doesn't know who to trust down here and neither do I. If you don't help, she's just going to leave here and try to deal with it by herself. And she's not really capable of doing that." I didn't respond. Seconds passed as faint static filled the earpiece. Finally, Susan just repeated my name with what sounded like a little shame sprinkled over it.
My mouth tasted bitter and smoky from last night's scotch and three hours sleep. I breathed deeply to clear my head and looked out at the night. Light from the bedside lamp had washed out the view through open French doors, merging sea and sky and clouds into one black sheet. Susan waited some more while I decided to do the right thing. I said, "I'll be there around midmorning."
"Thanks. I'm sorry to do this to you."
"Don't worry about it. I should have said yes right away."
Puffs of clean air rolled through the open door and across the bed. I walked into the bathroom and splashed water against my face and neck before going back to the phone and punching in a seven-digit number. A deep voice, wide awake, answered on the second ring.

Can you elaborate on this? Thanks.
Simply heard from a valued contact that he directors had resigned. Apparently came about with the lawsuit against them.
Does anyone know if the Board of Director's issues are now resolved, whether by resignation, desertion, drowned by bs etc, or does on-going squabble continue? Thanks.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
01 Sep 2010 14:33 GMT | Africa, Mozambique, Russia, South Africa
At least six people have been shot dead in Mozambique's capital during clashes between police and demonstrators protesting against rising food and fuel prices.
Police opened fire on protesters throwing stones and setting fire to tyres and barriers, but it was not immediately clear whether their bullets were responsible for the deaths.
According to the AFP news agency, one boy was shot in the head and left dead in the street, while a police spokesman told Reuters two children were killed in the violence.
Red Cross rescue teams in the impoverished southern African country said demonstrators were killed during separate protests in Maputo on Wednesday.
"We have had 42 cases at the hospital. Twenty-three were wounded by gunshots. Two are being operated on at the moment. Nineteen have wounds from physical attacks. One died," Antonio Assis da Costa, director of emergency services at the Red Cross, told AFP.High price of bread
The protests are believed to have been triggered by a 30 per cent rise in the price of bread in the past year, following soaring wheat prices around the world due to severe drought in Russia and eastern Europe.
Mozambique also is heavily dependent on imports from South Africa, which have become more expensive in recent months as the South African rand currency has strengthened.
"I can hardly feed myself. I will join the protest because I'm outraged by this high cost of living," Nelfa Temoteo, who lives in the capital's densely populated Malhazine suburb, said.Police appealed for calm on state radio and TV on Wednesday, and said they had made an unspecified number of arrests.
Violent protests over high costs, which left at least six people dead, erupted in Mozambique two years ago, when global food prices jumped.

I expect more from a car that retailed for 43 thousand."

"This is now the 3rd Convertable 900 SE that I've owned. The first two were totaled in accidents where other members of my family were driving. Both times hit by drunk drivers, one a head on @ 40MPH, the other a side @ 30MPH, both times my sister and my father walked away, no injuries. I keep buying the same car because you just can't match the sporty performance for the money anywhere else. The top goes up and down in 32 seconds and the 0-60 feels more like a 6-cyl than the turbo 4. I have driven one across the US three times, twice towing a trailer, with no problems and plenty of comfort. Nothing like the plains with the top down! The ONLY complaint that I have is that due to the 4-cyl and turbo set-up you can't really effectively engine brake, BUT I realize this means I get 22-26 mpg effeciency, so the trade-off is worth it to me."

"I have owned this car for over 7 years. I bought it with 63k now it has 200k+ It requires more maintenance than some of my other cars but its performance is great. This is my 5th convertible and the most firm chassis after 100k. It also goes great in the snow with snow tires."

WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner says the Obama administration should reconsider a decision to make church-affiliated employers cover birth control on their health care plans.
The Ohio Republican says the regulation amounts to a government mandate that violates the Constitution.
Last week's decision outraged religious groups.
President Barack Obama's landmark health care overhaul included the regulation but exempted churches. Last week, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said nonprofit institutions, such as church-affiliated hospitals, colleges and social service agencies, will have to comply, though they will have an additional year to do so.
Boehner told reporters Thursday he hopes the administration will "back up" and reconsider the decision.
