- ―Vladimir Glebov
Bull in a China Shop is the first mission in Grand Theft Auto IV given to Niko Bellic by Vladimir Glebov to collect some past due protection money. It introduces the systems of taxi riding and throwing objects.
After receiving a phone call from Vlad to work for him, Niko meets Vlad at the Comrades Bar over on Mohawk Ave (across the street from the Hove Beach safehouse). During a cutscene, Niko and Vlad converse. Vlad, despite repeated insults, actually seems to like Niko, and trusts him enough to send him out on a mission. Vlad asks Niko to deal with a china shop owner who owes Vlad protection money. Vlad asks Niko to not hurt the man, but to get the money. Vlad offers Niko a baseball bat to intimidate the shop owner, but Niko declines the weapon, arguing that he has other ways of going about it.
Niko arrives at the shop only to see that the door is locked and the owner is refusing to pay. Niko then smashes the window and the owner agrees to pay out of fear. Niko then takes the money to Vlad who is in the Comrades Bar. Vlad also reveals that the shop owner is dealing in illegal businesses back in the East of Asia, when he states: "Stupid jerk made a mistake telling me how much he gets that shit for back east. He's the biggest crook in the whole neighborhood. Luckily I don't tell his customers what they're paying for."
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to the shop.
- Find something to throw through the window shop.
- Take the money back to Vlad.
After the cutscene, the player will head over to the china shop in Cerveza Heights, located on Compton Avenue and Dukes Street. The mission offers the player the opportunity to take a taxi ride instead (with a Taxi appropriately appearing in front of the player), but the player can also drive there on their own. When the player arrives at the yellow marker, the owner of the establishment refuses to pay. Find something to throw through the shop window. The object can be found in a small yard on Thornton Street. The player may throw the brick through one of the store windows, or shoot at them with any weapon, or simply smash it with Niko's fist.
Another way to scare the shop owner is not to go into the yellow marker when the player gets there, instead go to the other side of the street. Take out a gun and shoot one of the windows beside the door. You can also crash a vehicle into the window, use your fist etc. Note that not going into the yellow marker will change the cutscene where the shop owner exits the store (and you won't get the thrown objects tutorial).
Once the store owner gets scared enough to choke up the money, Niko will call Vlad up on the phone and let him know about his success. He'll then be ordered back to the bar to give up the money. The GPS will, once again, get you to the location easily. Once back at the bar, get out of the car, enter, watch the finalizing cutscene, and give Vlad his cash.
Video Walkthrough
- The shop is accessible by either jumping through the door, or through the window (bug - PS3)
- The shop is not actually Chinese, but Korean.
- The mission's opening cutscene marks the introduction of two minor characters that may appear as random characters later in the storyline: Mel, who leaves the bar drunk, and Ivan Bytchkov, who is also seen leaving after ending a meeting with Vlad. (Only if he is spared in the mission: Ivan The Not So Terrible).
- If you break the shop's window before going to the marker, the shop owner will have different dialogue in the game.
- The in-game tutorial explains how to hail and use taxis to get around town, but using a cab in this mission is completely optional.
- The PS3 version contains a variation of the recurring "disappearing vehicle glitch" - after breaking the shop window, whatever vehicle you arrived in will vanish, forcing you to jack another or take a cab to return to Vlad.
- If you attempt to throw a pop can at the window in the PS3 version, the can will disappear and do nothing. Use one of the bricks located about a half block away from the store (behind you as you face the storefront).
- The PS3 in-game tutorial includes detailed instructions on how to throw objects ... but not how to pick them up (stand over the object and press L1).
- If you suceed in entering the shop through jumping through the window and walk forward into the shop, there is a risk of going into Blue Hell, sometimes Niko will fall and will respawn outside the shop.

A man with a mission
A Cajun cowboy with a pistol, a cell phone--and a bloodhound who's scared of cows? What's wrong with this picture? In fact, the cowboy's more than a cowboy. Adam Dubois is an undercover detective who's come to the high country to protect an endangered species. His mission: catch a mysterious lynx poacher.
A woman with a secret
Tess Tankersly has a saddlebag of frozen chickens and two hungry cats to feed. But if she's caught aiding and abetting lynx, her family and friends--cattlemen all--will see her as a traitor. She's walking a fine line between her passion for protecting wildcats and her loyalty to the people she loves.
What happens when Tess and Adam meet?
The sparks fly, that's what! Despite her secret and his disguise, those sparks of attraction catch. Some fires are meant to burn....
Peggy Nicholson was born and raised in Texas. She learned a lot about gambling and dreaming from her father, a Texas wildcatter (which means a maverick oilman who chases the big score, drilling away from known oil fields. Lots scarier, somehow more satisfying.) "Our jobs are a lot alike, arent they?" he commented recently.
She learned that life could should be filled with fun and adventure from her mother, a fey and madcap Georgia peach. Who else but Mom could invite 20 friends on a nighttime picnic at the site of a reported flying saucer sighting and see one? Who else could give her daughter a goat for her 11th birthday, which turned out oops! to be pregnant? Who else would first go paragliding at the age of 60? (Peggy tends to say "moootherrr," a lot, and mean it.)
Peggy grew up on a one acre "ranch" outside Houston. "Nobody in my family can resist an animal," she says, "and at one point the household had 35 in residence, including the screech owl that lived in my parents bedroom, a three-legged hamster, an alligator, seven turtles, nine afghan hounds, three cats, a white rat named Mary Todd Lincoln, the bull calf we hitched to a wagon, the armadillo that had free run of the house, a canary, two goats, and best of all a hard-as-nails ol Texas pony, with a running W brand on her hip, who taught me everything I know about riding (starting with duck when your pony bolts under the nearest low hanging branch). Then later, a leggy half-thoroughbred, suitable for racing trains. (I guess this is as good a place to thank my guardian angel and say sorry about all those hours of overtime.)
Small wonder then that Peggys books have featured an assortment of whimsical animals such as Burton, apparently half crocodile, half bassett hound, ("modeled shamelessly on my brothers beloved Jamie," she admits). Theres been a racehorse named Payback, a double-pawed cat that solves mysteries, an assortment of lovesick voles, (some monogamous, some polygamous).
"And then theres man, the most fascinating, magnificent, and maddening beast of all, star of every book I write."
Educated at Brown University in Rhode Island, Peggy studied art and English, then went on to teach art for 10 years in a public high school. "Guess I had some influence, because the first time I gave a book signing, three of my old students showed up. Theyd all become art teachers."
Another influence on Peggys writing was boats. Outside the classroom, she restored a 50-year-old wooden sailboat, then traded that one in for a larger, older boat, big enough to live on, which she did for 10 years. The plan was to sail around the world, but somehow it didnt happen.
"Furthest Ive sailed so far is New England to the Caribbean, where I jumped ship in St. Croix, joined an EarthWatch expedition, and wrote a Superromance called Childs Play about live-trapping mongooses, retrieving a kidnapped nephew, and stalking a sexy biology professor with a weakness for tropical bats. (One of my favorite books," Peggy admits, "since I have lived most of the research.")
Settling in Rhode Island after that, Peggy continues to live her research whenever possible and write daily. Most recently she had completed her second Superromance about southwestern Colorado, The Baby Bargain. "Its my most emotional book to date," says she, "and yes, I was pleased with its ending. The cat got her waltz around the room."

I had no idea that Fox News had decided to not only tackle the issue of feminism, but that in doing so, they would categorize it as a "Health" topic. (This is the same site that recently posted an article by a psychiatrist saying our biggest concern were Newt Gingrich to become President would be another country "falling in love with him" and begging him to come lead them instead of the United States. So, you know, keep that in mind.) I personally think the adoption of a feminist mindset can improve one's mental health, but unsurprisingly, this was not Fox News' intent in presenting the article I'm about to address (again, brought to my attention by Stephanie). The article was posted two years ago and they seem to have cross-posted this from AskMen.com, a site whose history of misogyny and degradation has been documented by a fellow About-Face contributor.
5 Feminist Demands She Wants You to Ignore hits the viewer with a most beguiling shot of a woman with obviously…supplemented breasts, ostensibly begging you to ignore any "demands" she makes for equality and respect. The first "demand" to ignore, while not articulated, given the intense cosmetic restructuring of her chest, may be "confirm the beauty of my natural self and do not reward silicone implantation." (I will soon in the future write a post about how the claim "they're for me" in regards to a woman getting breast implants is not a sustainable argument since one does not gaze for hours in distaste at their own breasts and determine they fall short of beauty unless they have been conditioned to think that their breasts, for whatever reason, do not fall within the confines of socially determined acceptability and attractiveness.)
Moving on. When you're a man out on the prowl, you're going to encounter some "independent ladies," the article warns. (Independent ladies is put in quotes to make sure you understand, as the male reader, that independence is tenuous at best, for show, a joke, an adjective easily swept aside by a proper man.) Sexy feminists aren't "entirely false" (thank you, Fox, and AskMen, for validating our sexuality), but you still must tread carefully – because as women, we never "ask for what we really want." An entire gender rooted in the goal of misguided and cloaked communication. What to do?
Number one demand feminist want you to ignore: "I can carry my own bag." Little to be said here because I have never heard a woman actually say this, but also because being polite and helping someone if they're carrying quite a burden is not actually an issue that needs to gendered. Feminists never did gender this, the claim of "I can carry my own bag" was picked up as a mocking of women who wanted recognition of the fact that they weren't helpless.
Number two: "Don't objectify me!" This goes hand in hand with my opener. Of course, this has been misappropriated over and over again by anti-feminists, or those who want to warp the message. Paying someone a compliment is not objectification, which is how this 'article' is defining it – objectification is equating the person's worth with what you see. If the compliment of her looking great in her dress means that looking great in a dress is all she does/is, then that's a problem. Also, straight up calling women liars if they aren't impressed by compliments about their appearance is a great way to puff up one's ego, but trust me – there are plenty of women who really don't care what your thoughts are about their looks.
Number three: "I'll pay my share." Misses the point entirely – first, a woman's vested interest in keeping a relationship financially balanced is different than treating your girlfriend to an expensive dinner sometimes. Especially because they insist that if she doesn't return the favor by treating you sometimes (ahem…sort of like splitting the cost? In essence…paying her share?), then you should withhold such a generous gift (and I guess have her pay her share?). Playa'.
Number four: "I can think for myself." This one is great. Even "high-powered women want men to take the reins sometimes," which to the authors means…thinking ahead about dinner plans? I love that taking the reins means making sure you know what you want to have for dinner. Not even making dinner. Just…knowing what you want to eat. If this is what it means to wrest control from women who are thinking for themselves, I encourage women everywhere to resist.
Number five: "I won't be shackled into a marriage." The authors admit that there are apparently "exceptions" to the steadfast rule that women want to be married and instead of acknowledging that both men and women may have changing and evolving priorities, they encourage readers to merely brush off a woman's thoughts on this matter if they initially refute the general equation of ring/house/baby that will ultimately overcome these ladies.
It goes without saying that this is a heteronormative perspective, not only strictly defining what is 'female' and what is 'male,' but also emphasizing that women are feminine and men are masculine, and, you know, case closed. Interestingly, they claim at the end that "gender roles evolve everyday." Which would make one think that the entire preceding article was, indeed, unnecessary at best. Of course, they then close with: "women are a complete contradiction in terms and that's one thing they're likely to never evolve out of – like men and leaving the toilet seat up. We all have our crosses to bear." There you have it! Women can't make up their mind and never know what they mean, and men are just disgusting. Why resist nature? Thanks for clearing this all up, Fox News. I can always count on you.

1984 - Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars toy catalogue
5 comments:
I have the most recent (I think) Trade Paperback of Secret Wars, and it goes into great detail about the toys, including the subsequent sets. Since the whole comic series was created to justify the toys, you can imagine that it would create some problems; for example, Magneto being considered a "villain" for the purposes of the figures. The shield thing was some stupid idea someone in marketing came up with. There was also some sort of one-panel comic that came with each character, if I recall correctly. Basically, it was a good idea that went wrong - both in that Marvel action figures were a good idea, but these were poorly made; AND that crossovers are fun, but they have gotten out of control. So there's that.ReplyDelete
Maybe the message-in-the-shield thing had something to do with Cap's old shield modification, though that's really ancient history and has nothing to do with the Secret Wars series.ReplyDelete
I had the entire first wave except for Captain America. The only second wave figure that I had was Daredevil. I recently gave them to my son to play with (they were pretty beat up anyways).ReplyDelete
I had most of these, except for Kang and Magneto. They were poorly made (and the paint rubbed off way too easily), but I still prefer the "look" of these figures to the zillion-points-of-articulation appearance of today's action figures.ReplyDelete
Have you seen the "new" Secret Wars series of figures? 12 pairs, and each comes with an issue of the series? The kid in me would love an excuse to buy those.
- AnonymousMarch 3, 2013 at 2:05 AM
I think the shield really detracted from these figures. They would have been more popular without it.I had Cap and Dr Doom and bought Wolverine years later at Toys R Us.ReplyDelete

Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has put behind his four head coaching interviews from last week and is concentrating on Sunday's divisional playoff game against the Eagles, said coach Tom Coughlin.
"It won't be a distraction," Coughlin said "I have talked to him. He has tried to keep me posted, but there isn't any doubt in my mind that his focus is right here preparing for the Philadelphia Eagles.
"Last week was a league-wide opportunity for anybody who was in the bye week and a couple of days were set aside for this according to those rules. And they did not interfere with anything that we are doing here. And he, as always, is very much focused on the job at hand."
Eagles coach Any Reid said that while he talked with his former assistant last year about the coaching opportunity in Washington, he has not spoken with him this time.
"They have a lot of rules out there now and they are enforced, and so Y've kind of stayed away from that this year," Reid said. "He'll be a heck of a head coach."

This is generally how Alteil works. Hateful prejudiced community doing nothing useful but flaming others and driving people away from the game.
Muklas, what Gon means is, he has been trying to do that for about 12 months already. If only gon could be driven from the game, the forums would be a much happier place. He is hateful and prejudiced against the community and does nothing useful but troll the forums and flame individuals.
Prejudice is the judgement of others without consideration for those individuals as individuals. It judges people by creed, religion, being part of a particular group, etc. We, the Alteil community are a group which he has deemed it not worthy of his respect.
In turn, he gets treated poorly. Is this in turn prejudiced? Are we grouping him with a bunch of individuals and calling them all the same? Or are we treating him like an individual, looking at his personal traits and behaviour and judging him as an individual? I don't think this community is prejudiced at all.
I think gon is an idiot. Sorry, I know Gon is an idiot - he proves it constantly with his own words. Alteil's worst troll. I believe he owes us all an apology for showing his prejudiced view of our community. Why does everyone have to put up with this from him? And why is he allowed to continue?

On Dec. 4, 2009, David Levitch walked onto the court for his first game as a North Oldham Mustang.
Later this year, when he walks off for the final time, he'll have accomplished quite a lot during those four years.
Chief among those is rewriting the North Oldham record book.
His latest addendum came over the winter break as Levitch's 25 point outburst against Tates Creek moved him to the top of the all-time scoring list.
The previous record holder was Alex Foley with 1,410 points.

Maya- LOVE Maya. I also love Aya and Amaya.
Imogen- I'm completely neutral about Imogen. Love the origin/history and meaning, don't really care for the sound.
Evelyn- Dislike this one. It sounds like a mean girl's name to me.
Florence- Dislike this one too, because of the sound.
Amelia- Pretty.
Ella- Nice, but a bit bland.
Matilda- I think it's impossible to have read the Roald Dahl book/seen the movie as a kid and not love the name Matilda.
Phoebe- Has been really growing on me lately. A thoroughly likeable name.
Holly- A bit cutesy, but I like it.
Darcy- Not a fan at all. I think it has an unpleasant look and sound.
Madeleine- A snooty girl named Madeleine was my archenemy in fifth grade, so I can't like this name.
Sienna- Eh. Has a nice sound, but seems rather trendy and lacks substance.
Aspen- Nice but NMS.
Maeve- Ditto.
Isla- I like Ayla/Aila/Aira better, but Isla is lovely.g w e n

There's a company in Australia that's hoping the answer is yes. They're called HommeMystere, and they just released a line of LINGERIE FOR MEN.
But they didn't make ANY effort to give the lingerie a masculine twist . . . other than making it in men's sizes. It's mostly pink. It contains lace and bows and hearts. It includes teddies, camisoles, thongs, negligees . . . and even padded man-bras.
The company is hoping this CHANGES the way men look at underwear.
They believe men who try their product will find, quote, "comfortable men's panties that really do fit, bra straps that don't fall off the shoulder, [and] teddies that don't ride up halfway through the night."
The products cost around $25 for a pair of men's panties, $32 for a men's bra, and $50 for men's lingerie.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Doug Williams and Roger Staubach are back on the football field.
This pair of Super Bowl MVPs dusted off their cleats and donned jersey's last week at the Naval Academy, all for a good cause: fighting heart disease.
The first annual Dare to Care Bowl even featured a familiar sight. Staubach connecting with former Navy teammate Skip Orr for a touchdown.
So maybe the game didn't have quite the feel of one of those epic Redskins-Cowboys showdowns of the 1970's and 80's, but this one still came down to the wire.
Charity or not, these former NFL QBs still wanted to win. In the end, Staubach got the best Williams, who threw 3 interceptions on the day.

Financial Aid
Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
WIU Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards are developed to help you graduate and are required and guided by federal regulations. Progress is measured for all students after grades are posted each term. You arerequired to meet the standards in order to be eligible for financial aid for the next term of enrollment (Fall, Spring, or Summer).
SAP Policy Standards
- You must earn credit for at least 67% of the total cumulative hours you have attempted (Pace). This includes transfer, incomplete, and withdrawn hours - see the Pace Chart for examples.
- You must have a 2.0 cumulative GPA at WIU (grades for transfer hours are not included), AND
- Graduate before exceeding 150% of the hours required for your degree program - see the Maximum Hours Chart for examples.
If You Do Not Meet SAP Standards
- You will be sent an email notification after semester grades are posted if you have not met the standards.
- If you have earned less than 67% cumulative hours and/or have less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA, you lose eligibility for aid and must appeal if you want aid reinstated.
- However, a one-time SAP Warning status for one term is automatically allowed and you retain financial aid eligibility if you
- Have earned 50-66% cumulative hours and have a 2.0 GPA or are on Registrar's Academic Probation or Academic Warning, or
- Have earned 67% cumulative hours and are on Registrar's Academic Probation or Academic Warning.
- Warning NOT allowed if you earn less than 50% cumulative hours or are Academically Suspended.
- If you have attempted more than 150% of hours required for your degree, you lose eligibility for aid and must appeal if you want aid reinstated for one additional term. Additional time may be granted if you have changed majors or have transferred hours not needed for your degree as confirmed by your Academic Advisor.
- No additional time is granted to pursue a second undergraduate major or second minor.
- Graduate students enrolling in courses for more than one graduate degree or certificate at a time, or enrolling in undergraduate courses, may jeopardize their financial aid eligibility. Students should earn their graduate degree/certificate before attempting more than 150% of the hours required for their first graduate degree/certificate. Hours beyond that may not be eligible for financial aid.
- If your appeal is successful, your eligibility is reinstated and you are
- Placed on Financial Aid Probation for one term and required to regain 67% pace and 2.0 GPA by the end of the term, OR
- Required to follow a multi-term Academic Plan to maintain eligibility until you regain 67% Pace and 2.0 cumulative GPA.
- Limit of three appeals.
- Reinstatement is not allowed if you cannot re-establish eligibility within the 150% maximum time frame.
- Retaking A Course: If you retake a course to improve a grade, you should be aware that your Hours Attempted will increase without increasing your Hours Earned which will negatively affect your Pace.
- MATH 099N: If you are enrolled in MATH 099N, the university does not grant you any credit hours even if the course is successfully completed. However, if MATH 099N is successfully completed, 4 hours can be added to your SAP Hours Earned to determine Pace.
- New Start: If you have been granted a New Start by the university, your GPA for SAP must still be calculated using all grades. Therefore, your SAP GPA will not match your official university GPA.
- Board of Trustees and Irregular Classes: Please note that extended deadlines for completion of course requirements are academic extensions only and do not apply to eligibility for financial aid. You should complete course work by the official end of each term to avoid future problems for Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress. This includes BOT and non-traditional classes, such as independent study, weekend/irregular and on-line. Please contact the Financial Aid Office if you have any questions.
How to Re-establish Eligibility If You Do Not Appeal or Are Denied Reinstatement
Eligibility will be re-established once you regain 67% Pace, have a 2.0 GPA, and have not exceeded 150% of the hours required for graduation in your degree program.
How to Appeal
Submit your appeal online. Your appeal cannot be considered after the official end of the term for which you want aid. Your appeal MUST include:
- What circumstances occurred that caused you to NOT make satisfactory progress,
- What has changed that will allow you to regain 67% Pace and 2.0 GPA standards, and
- Email confirmation from your Academic Advisor that he/she approves your courses for the term of appeal.
Acceptable reasons for appeal include:
- Death of a relative,
- Injury or illness of the student, or
- Other special circumstances.
Additional information that may be requested:
- Documentation of circumstances from you are required for second and third appeals.
- Confirmation of use of university services based on individual circumstances (UCC, tutoring, etc.)
- Confirmation of hours not required for degree from Academic Advisor – used if you are close to 150% limit and have changed your major or have transfer hours.
- Academic Plan – required if you cannot get back to 67% Pace and back to 2.0 GPA in one term.
The Appeal Process
First appeal is reviewed by Associate Director.
- If your appeal is denied, you are not eligible until you meet the standards. If you appeal the denial, the appeal is reviewed by committee.
- If your appeal is approved, you are placed on one term of Probation and required to meet Pace and GPA requirement at the end of the term or put on Academic Plan if you need more than one term to be in good standing.

4-H Members Raise More Than $24,000 for Iowa 4-H Foundation
From the Iowa 4-H Foundation
AMES, Iowa – Iowa 4-H members across the state participated in the 4-H'ers for 4-H Campaign, the longest-running, largest fundraising campaign conducted by 4-H members for 4-H members. The campaign raised $24,063.27 to support Iowa 4-H youth programs and activities. All funds from the campaign help families across the state by providing financial assistance for program fees and for youth to attend 4-H camps, intermediate trips and state events such as the Iowa 4-H Youth Conference.
At the direction of the 2012-2013 4-H State Council, 356 4-H clubs representing 79 counties participated in this year's campaign. On Wednesday, June 26, at the Iowa 4-H Youth Conference, Jan Ryherd and Natalie Lord, State 4-H Council finance co-chairs, presented this year's check along with awards for top county per member, most improved county giving, top county and top area to Iowa 4-H Foundation Board of Trustees President Deb Pullin-Van Auken and Iowa 4-H Foundation Executive Director Kris Fish-Kuhlmann.
The campaign challenge was $2.50 per member, but his year's top counties raised more than $4 per member. The 2013 top county per member award went to Wright County with $4.98 per member, with Webster County in second at $4.48 per member and Worth County in third with $4.26 per member.
The most improved giving county award is given to counties that increase their contributions by the highest percentage over the previous year. In first place was O'Brien County with 680 percent, Delaware with 445 percent for second and Fremont County in third with a 167 percent increase.
The top county award is presented to the county that raises the most dollars, and this year's top county, Johnson County, raised $1,610.00, the fifth highest county total in campaign history. Webster County came in second with $1,434.62 and third place went to Polk County, which raised $1,123.50 for the 2013 campaign.
The Central Area took home first place for the second year in a row and won by just $195 with $6,283. The following is the breakdown for the four other 4-H Areas:
- Second Place: Southeast with $6,088
- Third Place: Northeast with $4,261
- Fourth Place: Northwest with $4,147
- Fifth Place: Southwest with 2,685

Alcohol [1]
Key Messages:
- Drinking alcohol can increase your risk of several cancers due to how it interacts with your body, especially when combined with tobacco use.
- There is no proven way to prevent cancer, but if you don't drink it is best not to start. If you do drink, limit the amount you have each week and avoid binge drinking.
- Generally, men should have no more than two alcoholic drinks a day, and woman should have no more than one a day. However, women should probably have no more than three to four drinks a week.
In addition to tobacco [3], alcohol is one of the few substances consistently linked to an increased risk of cancer. Drinking alcohol increases the risk of developing several cancers:
- Head and neck cancers [4], particularly cancers of the mouth, pharynx (throat), and larynx (voice box).
- Liver cancer [5]
- Esophageal cancer [6]
- Breast cancer [7]
- Colon and rectal cancer [8]
- Stomach cancer [9]
Exactly why alcohol raises cancer risk is still being studied. Alcohol likely contributes to cancer when people are exposed to two chemicals in alcohol that can damage the DNA of healthy cells. These two chemicals are ethanol, which is the primary component of alcoholic beverages and acetaldehyde, which is made when alcohol is broken down or digested by the body. Alcohol may affect the breakdown of hormones, such as estrogen, a factor in breast, ovarian, and uterine cancers. Drinking alcohol also may weaken the body's ability to process and absorb important nutrients, including vitamin A, folate, vitamin C, vitamins D and E, and carotenoids. In addition, alcohol can be a cause of weight gain [10], which also increases cancer risk.
The type of alcohol, such as wine, beer, or liquor, you drink does not affect the risk associated with developing these cancers. However, the more alcohol you drink, especially the more drinks you have regularly over time, may increase your cancer risk.
Recommendations for alcohol use
There is no proven way to completely prevent cancer, but there are steps you can take to lower your risk, especially your risk from alcohol:
- Limit the number of alcoholic beverages you drink to one drink a day for women and two drinks a day for men. It's important to remember that one drink is 12 ounces (oz) of beer, 5 oz of wine, or 1.5 oz of 80-proof distilled spirits (liquor). Women who are concerned about their risk of breast cancer may also want to further limit their alcohol intake to no more than three to four drinks a week.
- Binge drinking or drinking more alcohol than recommended above per day, yet on fewer days, is not recommended and may still increase your risk for certain cancers.
- There is no clear evidence to support that drinking red wine helps to prevent cancer, so the current recommended limits also apply to red wine.
- Avoid using both alcohol and tobacco products. The combination further increases the risks of developing cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, and esophagus, compared with those who use only alcohol or only tobacco.
- The combination of alcohol and menopausal hormone therapy with estrogen may further increase the risk of some cancers, such as breast cancer.
- People who have a high risk for the cancers discussed above should talk with their doctors about limiting or even avoiding alcohol to help decrease their risk.
- If you have cancer, you may need to completely avoid alcohol depending on the treatment(s) you are receiving. For example, alcohol may irritate or worsen mouth sores [11] or dry mouth [12] caused by treatment and may also increase the risk of side effects from treatment by dehydrating the body [13] or causing a loss of nutrients.
Alcohol and cancer recurrence
In studies of alcohol and breast cancer survivors, moderate alcohol use has not been shown to increase the risk of recurrence (return of the cancer) or lower the survival of women with breast cancer.
Information about the effect of recurrence or survival following the diagnosis of other cancers is limited. However, because research suggests that drinking heavily is associated with a higher risk of developing some cancers, it is probably still best to avoid heavy drinking after a cancer diagnosis. All cancer survivors are encouraged to talk with their doctors about how much alcohol they drink and the effect it could have on their long-term health.

BARNWELL, S.C. -- The factory floors are barren now, but in a few months, they'll be filled with machines and workers.
Kevin Bradley will be making road cones and safety clothes, but he'll also be rebuilding Barnwell County's economy.
Because he found the right building there, it'll only take $150,000 to be up and running.
"We're doing everything as fast as we can, but, you know, we have plans and, you know, we're here to stay," said Bradley, the CEO of Sasco Safety, LLC, a division of which is A&K Textiles.
He's a businessman who's worked all over the world. He was running his company out of Alexandria, Egypt, but he's packing it up and making the long voyage to Barnwell, S.C.
"I believe that here in South Carolina, and with the people in Barnwell, we will get the productivity we need," he said.
Barnwell Mayor Edward Lemon says several companies have announced they're coming to his county in the past few months.
"We're rising up like a phoenix out of the ashes!" he exclaimed.
It comes after a troubled past for Barnwell County. Back in 2009, Hanesbrands, Milliken and Allied Air closed their doors in Barnwell.
"We lost about, I think it was around 800 jobs ... within six months of each other, so to get some of these back, is a real boom," Lemon said.
And many there say that boom will soon be felt.
"2012 is when you're going to see these job opportunities really come to fruition and people start getting a chance to go back to work," said Marty Martin, executive director of the Economic Development Commision in Barnwell County.
Martin says they're using all the empty buildings to attract companies like Bradley's.
"We were fortunate that there were some projects out there that found these buildings to be very suitable for what they needed," Martin said.
Unemployment in Barnwell County was close to 20 percent a few years ago, but now it's creeping closer to the state average.
"If everything is successful, we could be in the region of 200 jobs," Bradley said.
He says he wants to hire locals and there could be more jobs on the horizon for his company, too.
Martin says the current unemployment rate for Barnwell County is right around 15 percent and that there may be some other announcements soon. In fact, we're expecting to hear something from Blackville in the next week or so.

[place holder] Flash Professional is an ideal tool for designers, giving you full control over graphics, animation, and inner activity, and the great thing is that you can easily use those assets from other programs, such as Photoshop. So here I have a file open in Photoshop. It's a PSD file. Notice right up here in the layers panel I have this title which is off to the side. I have this neighborhoods folder which contains this image of this woman, and just some text to keep in mind that this is live text right here. If I turn off that folder, notice how you can see this transportation folder. It really just has that one image in there. But really what I want to do is I want to work in a program that I'm comfortable in, like Photoshop. I want to be able to take this asset and put it into Flash. So I'm just going to save this file. It's saved into a Meridien folder. And I'm going to go ahead and open up Flash. Here I am in Flash, and from this start menu I'm going to go ahead and create an ActionScript 3.0 file. Now I want to go ahead and instead of creating everything from scratch, I want to import that PSD file that I showed earlier. I'm going to 'file' 'import' 'import to stage,' and I'm going to select that 'design PSD.' Click 'open'. And now what you'll have is this import wizard, allowing you to control how each element is imported. So if I select this title, for instance, I can change that to 'bitmap image with editable layer styles.' My general rule is if it says 'editable,' well then select it. Here I'm going to go to the neighborhoods folder. I'm going to make sure it gets imported by checking that box. In fact, what I want to do here is I want to create a movie clip for that entire folder. So all of the contents of that folder are going to be in this movie clip. In fact, here's this text layer right here, and what I want to do is I want to make sure it stays editable. So I'll select 'editable text' for that text layer, and then I have this transportation folder create a movie clip for that layer as well. The reason I'm creating movie clips is because movie clips allow me to control those items with ActionScript and allow me to animate them as well. Now right down here in the lower left, I'm going to make sure everything gets placed at its original position, and I want to set the stage size to that Photoshop canvas size, because what I'm going to be making is like an animated, interactive banner. Select 'okay,' and it imports everything. It looks pretty good. In fact, if I take a look at my timeline panel, notice there's the title. There's my neighborhoods movie clip, so I'm going to select it. Sure enough, it says that it's an instance of the neighborhoods movie clip. If I double-click it, I can go inside of that movie clip and this text is live text, so I can always change it later if I want to. I'm going to go back to scene one, and if I turn off that neighborhoods layer you can see that transportation layer. I'm thinking this looks pretty good. In fact, what I want to do next is I want to go ahead and just grab a couple of assets from illustrator as well. So I can just select these graphics right here, and I'll just copy them. I'll go back into Flash and paste those graphics. I'm going to use the 'illustrator file importer preferences,' so I'm going to select 'okay' and then just make sure they're off to the side right over here, just like that. And let's just nudge those up with arrow keys. Now what I want to do with these graphics is I actually want to turn them into buttons. So in order to do that, I need to open up my library panel. And notice there are already graphics in here, but I need to convert these into buttons. So all I need to do is just drag it into the library, and as soon as I let go, notice how I can go ahead and convert this to a symbol. In this case, I'm just going to call it 'trans button'. I'm going to make sure the type is a button, and I'll select 'okay.' So I've made that a button in the properties panel. It does tell me that it's a button. I'm going to do the same thing for this 'neighborhoods'--drag that into the library panel-- make sure it's going to be set to the button type, and we'll just call this 'hood button'. Select 'okay.' All right. So everything is looking good. And what I want to do is when the user clicks on one of these buttons, I want to show the appropriate graphic. And I not only want to show the appropriate graphic, I actually want that graphic to animate in. So let's start with the animation. So first off, with this graphic, I actually want it to slide in. Now I could make that animation from scratch, but what you can also use are these motion presets. So window 'motion presets.' There's all these prebuilt default presets that I can go ahead and apply to any movie clip. So I can just kind of do my down arrow and see all of these different options, and I'll just have this fly in from the left. So it's just a matter of selecting that motion preset and clicking 'apply.' All right. Let's see what it did, because in my timeline it gives me this motion tween so I can scrub through that timeline. And you can see it slide across the screen, but it's really sliding off the screen, so I want to reposition it. So I can select that motion path and move it more into position right there. It looks good. So it will slide in like that. Next up for this transportation movie clip, which is right here, I want it to appear later, so I can drag that key frame down to about frame 25. And I want to apply a motion preset to it as well. In fact, this time I'm going to have it fly in from the right. So with that selected, I can click 'apply.' and it adds that motion tween right there, and you can see it slide in. And then all I need to do is just modify it however I want; in this case I just need to move it over, and that's set up now. So we have this first one sliding in and the second one slides in as well. But our buttons in our other graphics disappear, so I need to extend the frames going on in these two layers. So if I just scrub down and I select those two frames right down there and I do a right click, I can select 'insert frame.' That will extend those timelines so these graphics appear. So I'd say everything looks good. I'm hitting the enter key, and you can see it play through, just like that. And what happens is, by default, I can go ahead and test this movie. And what happens is the default method is it will just play through the timeline endlessly so there's not stop action going on. Although I like this animation, this would probably drive somebody nuts. So what I want to happen is I want this animation to stop at about frame 24. In order to do that, I'm going to use a code snippet. So here's my code snippets panel. I'm going to open up the timeline navigation, and right here, 'stop at this frame' is exactly what I want to do. So I encourage you to check out all of these code snippets because there's some really powerful ones in here. In this case, it's a simple stop at this frame. I can show the code so I can see it right here, and really it's just this one line right here. Again, be mindful of where you are in the timeline because at frame 24 is where I want to insert it. I'll click 'insert.' You can see it animate over, and there it is right there. So now if I test this, it's going to play through and then stop at frame 24. Perfect. That's exactly what I want. All right. Next up, what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to insert a stop action right here because when I go to this transportation section, I actually want to make sure it stops at this graphic. So it's just a matter of inserting that same stop action. And all I can do as well is just double-click on it. If I double-click on it, it adds it to the timeline and that actions frame. In this case, actions frame 48 is where it adds that one-stop action. So I'll just close that. There it is, frame 48 and 24. All right. Everything is in place. Now is the fun part of adding inner activity to this. I'm going to make sure this first section is 'neighborhoods.' So I want this animation to play when you click on the 'neighborhoods' button. So I'm going to select the 'neighborhoods' button right here. I'm going to go to my code snippets, and I'm going to go ahead and check out timeline navigation, because in there I have this clicked to go to a frame and play. That's what I want to happen because I want to, regardless of where you're at in the timeline, go to frame one and play that animation, and then it will stop right here. So that's what I want; I'll select that. I can take a look at the code as I scroll down. Notice how it says 'instance name here.' Watch what happens when I insert it. I'll click 'insert.' It says, "You must replace instance name here before you can insert that name." And what I can do is just make sure it's pointing to that button. But the issue is that the button does also need a name. It needs a specific name because I can have multiple buttons on the screen. On this case, I'll just call this 'hood_btn,' just like that. Type that in. You can see that it looks good there. I can click 'insert,' and it adds that code snippet right here at frame one. Let's go ahead and take a look at that code. If I go to window and open up my actions panel, you can see my code right here with instructions on how to modify it. So it says, "Replace number five with whichever frame you want to go to and play," so I'll just replace that with one, and that's looking good. All right. Here we are. Now we have this transportation button. And what I'm going to do now-- this neighborhoods button is called 'hood button.' What I can do is I can select that transportation button and give it an instance name in my properties panel over here as well. So we'll just call it 'trans_btn.' All right. So with that button selected, I can go to my code snippets, and, again, it's going to be a matter of doing the exact same thing. If I click on that insert button, right down there it says 'trans button,' which is what I just typed in right there. So that way works easy as well. I'll click 'insert,' it animates over, I can click on that code snippet pop-up, and now I can modify this code as well. In this case, I want it to go to and play frame 25. So the 'trans' button will go to and play frame 25. The 'hood' button will got to and play frame one. And now is the fun part; I get to test this out. I'm going to go ahead and test this out in Flash. It animates, looks good. Now if I click on transportation it should jump to frame 25 and play. And, yes, it does exactly do what I want it to. It looks great, and I have these nice transitions from image to image. So all this was done pretty easily. Using a Photoshop file and some assets from Illustrator, I was able to put them in Flash Professional, add some animation to it, I even got to write some ActionScript using code snippets which was pretty easy. So I want you to go out there and try it for yourself. I promise you you'll have a good time. Thanks for watching. [place holder]

Medicines taken by mouth
|Generic Name

How It Works
These medicines (sometimes called antispasmodics) work in different ways to relax muscles and reduce muscle spasticity and muscle spasms. For example:
- Baclofen blocks signals between the spinal cord and the muscles.
- Botulinum toxin paralyzes the spastic muscle.
- Dantrolene interferes with muscle contraction.
- Diazepam relaxes the brain and body.
The injectable medicines act only on the nerves and muscles surrounding the area where they are injected. Doctors give the injections directly into the affected muscle. The oral (systemic) forms that you take by mouth travel throughout the body before reaching the affected muscles.
Why It Is Used
These medicines help relax muscles temporarily.
Injectable medicines help relax tight muscles in the legs or arms affected by cerebral palsy. Injectable medicines may be used:
- When muscle tightness interferes with daily activities, especially walking.
- To increase the effectiveness of physical therapy.
- To determine whether nerve surgery is appropriate. Doctors often can predict the potential success of surgery by how nerves and muscles react to the injected medicine.
The doctor may suggest injection of botulinum toxin into the salivary glands to help reduce the severity of drooling.
Oral medicines may be used before physical therapy or at bedtime to help relax tight muscles and stop muscle spasms. Diazepam can help relax muscles after orthopedic surgery.
How Well It Works
These medicines may improve the effectiveness of physical therapy or delay the need for surgery on the muscles, tendons, and joints. If injectable medicines successfully relax the nerves and muscles, surgical cutting of the nerves may also be helpful.
More research is needed to find out the overall usefulness and safety of this type of medicine in helping people who have cerebral palsy.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you or your child has:
- Trouble breathing, swallowing, or speaking.
- Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
- Muscle weakness throughout the body.
- Problems with your sight or voice.
- Drooping eyelids.
- Loss of bladder control.
Call your doctor right away if you or your child has:
- Hives.
- Signs of skin infection, such as increased pain, redness, swelling, or fever.
- Lasting swelling or pain at the injection site.
- Seizures while taking intrathecal baclofen.
Common side effects of this injectable medicine include:
- Pain as the shot (injection) is given or at the site of the shot.
- Loss of feeling in the area where the shot was given.
- Rash.
- Flu-like symptoms, such as nausea or headache.
Common side effects of this oral medicine include:
- Feeling dizzy or lightheaded.
- Feeling drowsy.
- Feeling weak.
- Nausea or vomiting.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Your doctor may talk to you about intrathecal baclofen. It's baclofen that's given directly into the fluid surrounding the spinal cord. A small pump is surgically placed under the skin of the abdomen. Medicine is carried through a tube attached to the pump into the fluid surrounding the spinal cord. The pump is programmed to release a continuous amount of medicine. Benefits of giving baclofen this way include:
- Reduced medicine needs. Because intrathecal baclofen is given right into the spinal fluid, it takes less medicine to be effective than with pills. This reduces side effects such as nausea and drowsiness, which are a problem with the oral form of the medicine.
- Improved muscle tone and function.
Disadvantages of using baclofen through a pump include the following:
- The insertion of the pump carries a risk of infection.
- In rare cases, problems with the pump, such as failure or breakage, result in sudden withdrawal. Symptoms such as itching, rebound spasticity, and rapid heartbeat may be noticed. Other malfunctions can cause an overdose and lead to breathing problems and coma.
Make sure your doctor knows about all of the health problems you have. Having certain problems, such as kidney or liver disease, may affect how your doctor prescribes this medicine.
This medicine may cause you to become drowsy, dizzy, or less alert, which makes it harder for you to concentrate. If you are feeling sleepy, don't drive, operate machinery, or do anything else that could be dangerous to you or other people.
The oral medicines and intrathecal baclofen increase the sedating effects of alcohol and certain medicines, such as antihistamines that are used for cold, flu, and allergy relief.
Do not stop taking one of these oral medicines or intrathecal baclofen without first checking with your doctor. Stopping the medicine suddenly may cause unwanted side effects.
Dantrolene may cause liver damage. Frequent blood tests are needed to check liver functioning when a person is taking this medicine.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or trying to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Women who use diazepam during pregnancy have a slightly higher chance of having a baby with birth defects. If you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, you and your doctor must weigh the risks of using this medicine against the risks of not treating your condition.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Fact Sheet: Report on the 4th International Symposium on Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders125
By: Douglas A. Drossman, MD; William F. Norton, Communications Director, IFFGD
There is a growing understanding of the multi-faceted nature of functional gastrointestinal disorders. Symptoms, behaviors, and treatment outcomes for individuals with these disorders relate to disturbances in gastrointestinal motility and sensation that is effected by interactions that take place via the brain-gut axis. To understand and study these conditions, physicians and researchers must become familiar with evolving knowledge that integrates basic science, physiology, clinical medicine, psychology, and psychiatry. Indicated below are some of the highlights of the presentations at the 4th International Symposium for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders, which we believe truly reflect the developing areas of research in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and the functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders.
Fact Sheet: Report on the 5th International Symposium on Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders177
By: Douglas A. Drossman, MD; William F. Norton, Communications Director, IFFGD
Our understanding of the functional GI disorders is changing, including the mechanisms that contribute to symptom generation, methods of assessing and diagnosing the disorders, and approaches to treatment. As indicated by data presented across multiple disciplines at this symposium - basic, mechanistic, physiological, clinical, and epidemiological - the clinical expression of the functional GI disorders includes a composite of several physiological components. In effect, there is no one factor that appears to be involved in the development of the disorders (etiology), nor is there one specific treatment.

Until the mid-twentieth century, healers relied upon their collective and individual experience to select the best remedy for a patient's complaint. Even today, most treatments are trial and error. Physicians, almost unique among healers, have sought scientific bases for their treatments, and their most powerful tool is the randomized clinical trial (RCT). Reviewed 2009.

A summary of presentations from over 80 experts that address the way research and science are improving our understanding of functional GI disorders, and the new avenues being investigated. Topics are covered such as, who is more likely to get a functional GI disorder, how do brain-gut interactions influence symptoms, diagnosis and treatment approaches, and what's new on the treatment horizon.
Fact Sheet: Dietary Fiber: What is it?200
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
Much is published on the benefits of "fiber" in the diet. Nevertheless, there is some confusion over what constitutes dietary fiber. Moreover, some of its proclaimed benefits are controversial. Therefore, it is a challenge to determine if, how much, and what kind of fiber one should take. This article addresses the nature of dietary fiber; its sources; its commonly accepted benefits, especially for the intestinal tract; and how to achieve sufficient daily fiber intake.

Fact Sheet: What is Evidence-based Medicine?204
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
From the 17th to the late 20th century, doctors often acted upon anecdote, opinion, and tradition. As a result many useless and even some harmful treatments were employed. Evidence-based medicine is a late 20th century innovation. It is the "conscientious, explicit and judicious use of the current best evidence from clinical care research in making decisions about the care of individual patients." It depends upon the accumulation of data from treating patients. This article describes the challenges and methods used in this process. Reviewed and updated 2009.

Introducing Geneva: everything you need to know in about five minutes.
Where are we? When do we meet?
So you are looking for God? Or perhaps He is looking for you?
A quick introduction to Geneva.
Unchanging truth in a changing world.
It may be that the word "orthodoxy" turns you off. We understand. It is not exactly everyday language. Perhaps it conjures up ideas of stuffy formalism, people who are out of date, or even legalism.
Should the church change with the times? Should we not adjust our worship and our teaching to suit the needs of a changing world? After all, do we not now face challenges that even our grandparents did not experience?
There is, of course, an element of truth to this idea. But, the Bible is a bit like oxygen. You do not hear people complaining that oxygen is a little outdated. The only reason people speak so of Scripture, is that its unchanging message does not suit them. Yet the Bible, God's Word to all people, addresses the needs of everyone, from the greatest need– salvation, to your daily life.
"The Word of God is living and active..." Hebrews 4:12
Geneva now has an extensive library of audio resources available to listen to
or download including the current sermon series.
Part of the church's mission is to spread the good news of the gospel. This is often called the "Great Commission" after our Lord's commission to the church to go into all the world and make disciples of men (Matthew 28:16). Sometimes this work is called evangelism or mission work.
Geneva is active in the work of evangelism abroad and is seeking an increased presence in Woodstock and the local community.
Just what does...
...mean, anyway?
One remarkable truth much neglected by Christians is known as the means of grace. By this we mean the outward ways through which God grants grace to the Christian. The means are like channels or avenues – designated paths by which God provides strengthening grace to his people.
The three means of grace are the Word (the Bible), the Sacraments (the Lord's Supper and baptism) and prayer.
Want to dig a little deeper into Scripture? Geneva's article collection provides you with a broad look at theological issues, book reviews and cultural commentary.
Since the earliest days of the church the presence of music in worship has been a topic fraught with debate. Currently, there seems to be no abatement in the debate between hymns and praise choruses. There are those who argue that hymns are outdated, stodgy, and boring. This certainly seems to . . .
Why must a man and a woman make a vow to one another in a public wedding ceremony in order to be married? Why can't a couple pledge their love for each other in private? Are we indentured to a cultural tradition or is there a biblical principle at work? Ultimately, what underlies the weddi . . .
When we look at the theological landscape of the Church we see a legion of theological views. Even within confessional Reformed communities such as the OPC there is great theological diversity. On eschatology, for example, there are pre-, a-, and postmillennialists. Likewise, in pr . . .
*This is just a sample! There are dozens of articles in the articles collection if you are interested.
Geneva is located in Marietta, Georgia, on the northwest side of Atlanta.. We are easily reachable from the I-75 & I-575 corridor. If you are passing through or staying near us, we would be delighted to serve you in any way we can.
If you would like hospitality on a Sunday, or even a place to stay, the members of Geneva may be able to assist. Just let us know – click on the suitcase to contact us!

- The impact of exchange rate variations and university reputation on the choice of destinations of international students in Australia and New Zealand

- Abstract
- The purpose of this paper is to determine the degree to which changes in exchange rates have an impact of the choices made by students when they travel abroad to undertake higher education. As well as changes in exchange rates other factors are also considered such as changes in the real income of students, and the reputation of universities. The findings were that exchange rate changes do have an influence on the demands of international students, although this is not uniform in nature across countries. This has important implications for policy makers as in a number of countries, such as Australia and New Zealand, government universities are often very reliant on the income generated by selling educations services to overseas students.

The Power of Independent Thinking
Clifford Thies on the American Economic Association and Richard T. Ely
Recorded: Monday, November 28, 2011
The American Economic Association (AEA) takes pride in celebrating its founder Richard T. Ely. This pride is strange, given the character of Elys thought, which is revealed in The Independent Review article The Shaping of a Future Presidents Economic Thought: Richard T. Ely and Woodrow Wilson at The Hopkins by Gary M. Pecquet and Clifford F. Thies, as well as the Econ Journal Watch article Richard T. Ely: The Confederate Flag of the AEA? by Clifford F. Thies and Ryan Daza. In this podcast, Thies is interviewed by the economist Lawrence H. White and explores Elys ideas, values, and impact. Thies is the Eldon R. Lindsay Chair of Free Enterprise and Professor of Economics and Finance at Shenandoah University.
