On Monday, the California Legislature sent Gov. Brown a law meant to ease a big electric car adoption hurdle. The law, AB-2565, which passed in the California Senate on Monday after earlier approval by the House, will require landlords of rental properties to allow tenants to install electric car charging stations, in certain circumstances, and if the tenant meets some pretty stiff requirements.
Access to electricity at home is a fundamental need for successfully owning an electric car. Charging an electric car at home means the car is always fully charged when going out, and the charging time doesn't consume your personal time. Those who cannot charge at home have to instead charge at public charging stations, making it harder to arrange ones schedule to be doing something else while charging the car.
People who rent frequently cannot arrange to have a charging station at home. The typical apartment complex is simply not designed to position ones parking space next to the apartment, making it difficult to connect electricity in the parking lot to the tenants electricity bill. Many apartment buildings have parking which simply does not have nearby electricity, or else the electricity is paid by the landlord with no way to bill the tenant. Finally, landlords are reluctant to invest in electric car charging support when tenants frequently move away anyway.
AB-2565 - Rental property: electric vehicle charging stations - would change all this. Tenants will be able to request, in writing, to install a charging station and if a number of conditions are met the landlord is require to allow the charging station installation.
With more people able to successfully own electric cars, by enabling renters to have charging stations, the electric vehicle adoption rate should increase.
However, the requirements are pretty stiff. Under AB-2565, tenants have to provide a written plan detailing the installation, use, modification, and removal of the charging station, as well as a financial analysis, and to pay for a $1 million insurance policy.
The bill has been sent to Gov. Brown's office for his signature, which he must do by Sept. 30. Gov. Brown is a strong supporter of electric vehicles and is likely to sign the bill. Assuming he does so, the bill goes into effect for leases started or renewed after July 1, 2015.
On Tuesday, ChargePoint issued this statement:
AB2565 will give tenants the right to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at their home or business if the tenant is willing to pay for the installation. Today, lease restrictions often times add financial burden or even stop tenants from installing charging stations at all. ChargePoint has worked with Assemblymember Murastuschi, prior opponents and longtime supporters in drafting AB 2565. ChargePoint's CEO, Pasquale Romano had the following to say:
"The widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is driven by access to EV charging. AB 2565 is critical to expanding access to charging around the state, including to the more than 40% of Californians who live in multifamily housing. This bill fosters the EV industry and drives the state toward Governor Brown's goal of 1.5 million zero emission vehicles by 2025. In addition, local economies throughout California will benefit from the employment opportunities created as the industry grows. I thank Assemblymember Muratsuchi and Senate Floor Manager Kevin de Leónfor their strong support of the EV industry, and I urge the Governor to add his signature to this legislation."
California is the largest market for EVs in the U.S., representing over one third of national sales. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) estimates that between 1 million and 1.2 million public, workplace and residential charging stations are needed statewide by 2020. Governor Brown has until September 30 to sign AB 2565 into law.

Len Quesnelle is entering his ninth season as an assistant coach of the Minutemen in 2012-13 after serving as the head coach at Princeton for four seasons.
During Quesnelle's four years at Princeton, he held the distinction of being the only coach in school history to lead the Tigers to consecutive seasons of .500-or-better records in the Eastern College Athletic Conference. Princeton posted a 9-9-4 conference record in 2000-01 and played to a 10-10-2 mark in 2001-02.
Quesnelle spent 12 years as an assistant coach at Princeton before being named the program's 14th head coach in the spring of 2000. He spent the previous nine years as the senior assistant coach on Don Cahoon's staff.
In Quesnelle's second season as head coach, the Tigers put together a late-season run to finish in a three-way tie with Brown and Colgate for sixth place in the conference standings. Princeton earned the sixth seed going into the playoffs, bettering the predictions of both the preseason coaches and media polls. The coaches had the Tigers pegged to finish 11th, while the media picked them to finish seventh.
In his inaugural season as head coach, Quesnelle led the Tigers to a 10-16-5 overall record, including a 9-9-4 ECAC mark. It was only the sixth time since 1961-62 that the Tigers finished with a .500-or-better ECAC record.
Following his graduation from Princeton in 1988, Quesnelle remained with the Tigers as an assistant coach on Jim Higgins' staff while pursuing a business career with a consulting firm in Princeton.
In 1991 his familiarity with team personnel and the recruiting process at Princeton helped to ease the transition into the Cahoon era.
A native of Bramalea, Ontario, Quesnelle was a standout defenseman at Princeton, appearing in 106 games and earning All-Ivy League honors as well as the Class of 1941 Championship Award for winning spirit. He played junior hockey for the Bramalea Blues from 1982-84.
Quesnelle has served as director of the Princeton University Hockey Camp and is a frequent speaker and instructor at camps throughout North America.
He and his wife Jennifer have two daughters, Rémi and Georgia.

The book explores the way in which the concept of democracy has increased in significance in international law over the past two decades. Indeed it has been identified as a condition of peace. Within the United Nations, democracy has now become accepted as the proper aspiration of all states and various accounts of democracy have been championed. Controversially, the promotion of democracy has also surfaced as a rationale for military intervention. The most prominent invocation of democracy at the international level is the context of post-conflict peace-building. It has been assumed that the achievement of a particular model of democracy is the goal of international intervention and support. The elements of this model include multi-party elections, a 'separation of powers' group of institutions, and the protection of human rights. Concepts of transitional justice also inform the internationalized model of democracy. Most manifestations of the international process of building democracy have however failed. Unstable, hybrid governance forms dominate in post-conflict situations, from Iraq to East Timor. The book investigates what this reveals about the international design for democracy, arguing that the major problem has been the belief that democracy has a fixed form.

Let me tell you about my Dad, Robert Reid, 81, father of two Tri-Sigmas, Arlene Reid Ball (Alpha Phi – Central Michigan University, 75) and Gail Reid Vettraino "76, and grandfather of Tri- Sigma Jennifer Ball Billings, University of Detroit Mercy, BT "00
Robert Reid, IS Friendship, Character and Conduct. He is a friend to many in Rochester, Michigan and Fort Myers, Florida where he splits his time. He has been very involved with the Lions Club in Rochester, organizing many charity golf tournaments, collecting for White Cane and was also involved in the Lions Club in Kona, Hawaii for 30 winters there.
Last summer, he was not feeling well, but continued to help with Rockin Rods, a car show that raises money for Leader Dogs for the Blind. Unfortunately the sickness turned out to be mesothelioma, asbestos cancer, which is taking its toll on him. But Bob's golf friends in Ft Myers thought so much of him that they wanted him to continue to play and would tee up his ball and do all the bending for him, so he could be with them. His friends tell him what an inspiration he is to them. My father is also such a good storyteller, and is fun to be with.
Bob's character is known as honest, hardworking and helpful. He was unable to stay in school in the 40's due to family situations, but is self-educated. Serving in the Merchant Marines just after WWII, laboring as a brick layer, learning the building trades and forming his small building company, my dad is a self-made man. A big family man, my dad was always there to listen to me during those difficult teenage years, a strong and steady hand, guiding me through rough seas.
My father is always taking the upper road. I think of what a wonderful caregiver he was to my aunt when she was dying of cancer, so patient, caring and kind. He also cared for and looked out for his own parents.
Dad is a pillar of dignity and strength, the strong mast of our family. On this past Memorial Day, struggling with breathing, he visited his WWII veteran brother's grave to place a flag on it to honor him. Friendship, Character, Conduct, that is Robert Reid, my dear and beloved dad.

Following refueling by tone to three Soyuz V (11K) tanker spacecraft, a manned Soyuz spacecraft would rendezvous and dock with the 9K. It would then be boosted on its mission (circumlunar, satellite intercept, or high earth orbit).
The 9K would be followed in orbit by one to three Soyuz V 11K tankers (depending on the mission), which would automatically rendezvous and dock with the 9K. They would transfer up to 22 metric tons of propellant. Finally the 7K spacecraft with the cosmonauts aboard would be launched and dock with the 9K. The 9K would then be used to put the 7K on its mission. This could be either a Soyuz-A on a circumlunar flight or a Soyuz-P on satellite intercepts at up to 6,000 km altitude.
The 11K was authorized for development by a subcontractor, but soon both the Soyuz-A and Soyuz-P were cancelled. On 3 August 1964 it was decided that Chelomei would develop his LK-1 for the manned lunar flyby in place of the Soyuz-A. The Soyuz-P was cancelled when manned satellite intercept was found to be impractical.
Some of the docking and propellant transfer technology of the Soyuz V undoubtedly was applied to the Progress space station resupply spacecraft of the 1970's.
Gross mass: 5,900 kg (13,000 lb).
The system will conduct fuellings and dockings in a 250 km altitude parking orbit, and be boosted up to 400,000 km altitude on lunar flyby missions. The system will be ready in three years. Military variants proposed are the Soyuz-P and Soyuz-R. Each spacecraft will have 400 kg of automatic rendezvous and docking equipment. Manual docking will be possible once the spacecraft are within 300 m of each other.
Korolev still insists on an unguided landing and categorically rejects the use of wings. A parachute will deploy and slow the capsule to 10 m/s. Then a retrorocket will fire just before impact with the earth to provide a zero-velocity soft landing. Korolev still insists that spacesuits will not be carried for the crew. First test flight of the 7K, without docking, could not occur until the second half of 1964.
At least progress on improvements at TsPK are underway. One apartment building with 75 apartments for cosmonauts is already finished, and an 11 story building should be finished in 1965, as well as schools, nurseries, stores, and so on. Currently there are 17 active cosmonauts and 13 candidate cosmonauts in training. An additional 40 will have to be recruited in 1965 to support the ambitious space plans recently adopted.

European 3G subscriber count reaches 100 million
Market research firm Informa Telecoms has released a report that says the number of 3G subscribers in Europe has reached and surpassed the 100 millionth mark.
The report says that out of the total 910.8 million mobile subscribers at the end of May, there were 101.5 million 3G subscriptions. Only devices that were actively used for either voice or data services (or both) were counted.
The firm also adds, "A slight slowdown in the growth in WCDMA handset sales in Western Europe in (the first quarter) was counteracted by an acceleration in sales of WCDMA/HSPA data cards and modems, which boosted the size of the total 3G market, particularly in Sweden and Austria."
The report also shows percentages that reveal there is more 3G activity in Sweden, Norway and Italy, while Portugal, Austria and Spain follow suit. It is expected that the number of 3G subscribers will continue to grow with the addition of data services that take advantage of the high-speed technology.

Some 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) away from Earth, in the heart of the star we call the Sun, 4 million tons of hydrogen fuse to form helium each and every second. A tiny fraction of the energy from this colossal nuclear reaction reaches our planet in the form of ultraviolet radiation. And a tiny subfraction of this falls on a sprout of grass in a patch of dirt wet by yesterday's rain. As the days pass, the sprout's pale, tender blades flush green, lengthen, and expand . . . before becoming lunch for a ravenous grasshopper. Within moments, the grasshopper is itself devoured by a garter snake, which falls victim to a keen-eyed hawk. When the hawk dies, years later, its body quickly becomes a metropolis of blowflies, flesh flies, carrion beetles, and mites. Meanwhile, mineral-rich body fluids from its moldering carcass seep into the soil. There they eventually nurture a new flush of green growth, coaxed forth by the continuing cycles of sunlight and rain.WHAT IS AN ECOSYSTEM?
In this simple scenario, we see energy and nutrients move through a series of living and nonliving elements. Biologists call such a dynamic system an ecosystem. The largest known to science is that of our entire planet, or biosphere. More practical for scientific study are the many more-or-less self-contained ecosystems that make up the larger biosphere: ponds, wooded groves, deep-sea vents, mountaintops, coral reefs, and sun-drenched fields. Even a carefully assembled terrarium can form such a fine-tuned, self-maintaining system.
When studying an ecosystem, biologists attempt to track the movement of energy and nutrients that make its continued existence possible. At first blush, these two factors—energy and nutrients—may seem synonymous. In fact, they represent two closely related but fundamentally different elements. They follow different courses and obey very different rules as they move through an ecosystem.ENERGY FLOW
All activities associated with life, from the transport of a molecule across a cell membrane to the leaping of a playful dolphin, demand energy. The singular energy source for virtually all ecosystems on this planet is the Sun. The only known exceptions consist of isolated underwater pockets filled with unusual bacteria able to take energy directly from the atomic bonds of inorganic chemicals.
Earth receives a mere one-thousandth of one-millionth of the energy generated by the fiery nuclear-fusion reactor of our local star. Nonetheless, this tiny fraction amounts to about 170 trillion kilowatts—or 2 calories of radiant energy per minute for every square centimeter of Earth's surface. Some 30 percent of this energy reflects back into space after bouncing off clouds and dust in the atmosphere. Another 46 percent returns to space as heat after being absorbed and reradiated by Earth's surface. Still another 23 percent drives the evaporation of water that returns to Earth as precipitation.
Just 1 percent of the Sun's energy output to Earth actually enters the living portion of the planet's ecosystems. It does so by falling on the pigmented tissues of photosynthetic organisms such as plants on land, and algae (seaweed and phytoplankton) in aquatic ecosystems. Still, this infinitesimal fraction of the Sun's energy drives the production of an estimated 150 billion to 200 billion tons of organic matter. (The raw materials from which this living tissue is created consist of nutrients. They include small molecules of carbon, oxygen, water, and minerals.)The Energy Relay. Solar energy captured through photosynthesis becomes available for use by the photosynthetic organism, its predators, and its predators' predators. In this way, energy flows through the living parts, or communities, of an ecosystem from one feeding, or trophic, level to the next. The first level is that of a producer—the photosynthetic plant or alga. All higher levels fall under the category of consumer.
On the first consumer level, we find herbivores, animals that eat plants. Each type of ecosystem has its particular array of herbivores. Blue whales, caterpillars, and cottontail rabbits all fill this same niche within their respective ecosystems. They share the primary consumer role with plant parasites, such as the fungi and microorganisms. Such parasites draw energy and nutrients from plant tissues without completely or immediately killing them.
Carnivores, or secondary consumers, are animals that eat other animals. This second level of consumer includes carnivores that eat herbivores, and those that also eat other carnivores. The hawk that eats a snake that has eaten a grasshopper is such a carnivore. Ecologists call this consumer a tertiary, or third-level, consumer. Straddling multiple consumer levels are omnivores. These include animals such as humans, that eat a variety of both plant and animal foods.
Decomposers, organisms such as bacteria and fungi, break down the remains of producers and consumers. They extract energy and release nutrients back into the ecosystem. Each stage of energy transfer involves some loss of energy. This fact is a basic law of thermodynamics. It applies to both living and mechanical systems. For example: when an insect chews a blade of grass, it obtains only a fraction of the solar energy originally stored inside the plant's tissues. The grass used some of the energy to drive its own growth and repair. It lost still more energy in the form of heat with each biochemical reaction. Nor could the insect extract all of the energy stored in the grass blade. Moreover, the insect had to expend energy in order to find, chew, and digest its food.
A similar "waste" of energy occurs at each trophic level, so that all the levels stacked on top of each other form an energy pyramid. At the bottom of this pyramid is a large biomass of producers—be it 1,000 grass plants, or the equivalent in the form of one massive tree. Studies of many different kinds of ecosystems suggest that roughly 10 percent of the energy stored in any level gets passed on in usable form to the next. In effect, for every 1,000 calories captured by an ecosystem's producers, 100 calories reach its primary consumers. Ten calories reach its secondary consumers. A single calorie is left for a tertiary consumer.
Ecologists use this "10-percent law" to track energy loss through an ecosystem. They can sometimes estimate how much habitat a particular species, say a top predator, needs to survive. For example, scientists might calculate how many acres of grassland are needed to support enough insects to support enough snakes to support one pair of hawks and their young.Food Chains and Webs. Of course, the paths that food energy can take through an ecosystem are many and complex. A food chain describes how one morsel of food might "travel" through the system. A one-celled alga may be eaten by a tadpole. The tadpole in turn becomes food for a minnow. The minnow is eaten by a bass. The bass is eaten by a bear.
In nature, however, the transfer of food energy seldom travels such a straight line. A food web shows the many interrelated paths possible. For example, the algae floating on a pond may be eaten by a tadpole, or by one of many kinds of aquatic insects, crustaceans, or small fish. Any or all of these may be eaten by a bigger fish, or by a bullfrog, snake, duck, raccoon, and so on. These in turn may become hosts to a variety of parasites, and/or be eaten by still-larger animals, or become food for scavengers and decomposers. Omnivores, which feed at various levels, further complicate a food web. Consider the tangle that results when a carnivorous plant digests an insect. Such plants serve as both producers and consumers in the same ecosystem!
The trophic level of an organism is the number of steps it is removed from the ecosystem's primary energy source. Many organisms cannot be assigned to just one trophic level. For example, mammals, such as foxes and humans, are omnivores. They eat both plants and other animals.
Detritus feeders include such familiar scavengers as vultures and catfish. But far more widespread are the smaller but ever-present insects, mites, earthworms, and nematodes that consume everything from animal waste and fallen leaves to dead bodies.
Decomposers include a variety of fungi, bacteria, and filter-feeding microorganisms. They break down dead organic matter by releasing digestive chemicals and absorbing the resulting ultrasmall food particles. They leave behind the raw nutrients (carbon, oxygen, and minerals) needed to start the cycle of life anew.
Because usable energy is lost in the form of heat at each consumer level, new energy must be constantly added for the ecosystem to continue to function. Fortunately, astronomers predict we have another 5 billion to 7 billion years of uninterrupted solar energy from our aging Sun.NUTRIENT CYCLES
Ecosystems do require a continuous supply of new energy. But they prove very efficient at recycling nutrients. Indeed, life on Earth has been reusing the same reservoir of nutrients for more than 3 billion years. In the biological sense, nutrients include the building blocks of life—the actual elements and small inorganic molecules out of which organisms assemble themselves. The term macronutrients describes those chemicals that organisms need in large quantities. These include oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and water (H2O), and lesser amounts of potassium, sodium, sulfur, calcium, and magnesium. Micronutrients—needed only in trace amounts—include a variety of minerals such as iron, zinc, iodine, cobalt, and selenium.
Biologists refer to nutrient-recycling paths as biogeochemical cycles because they pass through both the biological, or living, parts of an ecosystem and its geologic, or nonliving, parts. The biological parts include an ecosystem's producers, consumers, and decomposers. Its geologic parts include the atmosphere, with its gases and suspended particles of water and dust; the lithosphere, or solid ground and rock; and the hydrosphere, which includes bodies of water such as oceans, lakes, rivers, and groundwater.
The major storage sites and sources of a given nutrient are called its reservoirs. Such reservoirs tend to be nonliving, or geologic. Most carbon, for example, exists in the form of gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) mixed in the atmosphere and dissolved in the oceans, or in the form of fossil fuels buried underground.The Water Cycle. The hydrologic, or water, cycle is among the simplest. Most water remains chemically unchanged as it moves through an ecosystem. More than 97 percent of the world's available water can be found in the enormous reservoir of the oceans. Oceans cover three-fourths of Earth's surface. The solar energy that drives photosynthesis also drives the water cycle by evaporating liquid water from the surfaces of oceans, lakes, and rivers. The evaporated water enters the atmosphere until gravity brings it down again in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or dew. Most such precipitation falls back into the oceans. That which falls on land can take a variety of paths. Heat evaporates some back into the atmosphere. Some runs off the surface. It forms trickles, streams, and rivers that make their way back to an ocean, lake, or underground reservoir. And some enters living systems, for example, by being absorbed by the roots of a plant or lapped up by a thirsty animal. On average, living things on this planet consist of about 70 percent water.
Producers such as plants and algae destroy some water during photosynthesis. (Photosynthesis involves the combination of water and carbon dioxide to produce energy-rich organic molecules.) Virtually all organisms also create small amounts of water when they respire, or "burn" organic molecules for energy. In the process, oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) recombine to form water (H2O).
Together, all of these processes return roughly the same amount of water to the world's oceans and lakes as they draw from them.The Carbon Cycle. Carbon makes up the bulk of the organic molecules found in living tissues. Carbon first enters living systems through photosynthesis. As mentioned above, photosynthesis chemically combines carbon dioxide (CO2) and water to produce high-energy organic molecules. Plants draw their CO2 from the air, where it makes up roughly 0.04 percent of all atmospheric gases. Algae and photosynthetic diatoms use CO2 dissolved in water. Consumers capture carbon when they eat or parasitize producers (or other consumers). When living things burn organic molecules, they release some carbon back into the air or water as carbon dioxide gas. When an organism dies, decomposers finish the job of splitting off the carbon (C) in organic molecules and combining it with oxygen (O2) to form CO2.
However, some carbon takes far longer to cycle through an ecosystem. Mollusks, such as snails and clams, combine CO2 with calcium to form calcium carbonate shells. These shells and their locked-away carbon often become buried. Over centuries, they convert into limestone. Water reaching the limestone can slowly dissolve out its carbon and calcium and return it to the nutrient cycle.
An even larger amount of carbon enters long-term storage through the process of fossilization. Occurring over millions of years, fossilization involves the deep burial and transformation of dead organisms into coal, oil, and natural gas. When people burn fossil fuels such as gasoline and methane, they release stored organic carbon back into the atmosphere as CO2. Indeed, over the past 200 years, the burning of fossil fuels has significantly increased the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere.The Oxygen Cycle. The oxygen cycle remains closely tied to that of carbon. Free oxygen (O2) first entered our atmosphere about 2 billion years ago—thanks to phytoplankton, the first photosynthetic organisms. Indeed, free oxygen is a universal "waste" product of photosynthesis—specifically of the step that splits water (H2O) in order to use its hydrogen atoms to build carbohydrates.
Both plants and animals consume oxygen during the process of respiration. In respiration, virtually all organisms burn food molecules to produce energy.
By about 75 million years ago, the level of oxygen in our atmosphere approached its present, stable concentration. Air at sea level contains about 21 percent oxygen; at higher altitudes, slightly less. Oxygen can also be found dissolved in most bodies of water.
The oxygen cycle plays a small part in the water cycle as well. In effect, every 2 billion years, photosynthesis splits all Earth's water to yield oxygen and organic molecules. Respiration continuously reacts with oxygen and organic molecules to create water again.The Nitrogen Cycle Nitrogen forms a central part of many organic molecules. These include proteins, nucleic acids, and some vitamins. So life as we know it would be impossible without this element. In its gaseous form (N2), nitrogen makes up nearly 80 percent of our atmosphere. The trick is, neither plants nor animals can extract elemental nitrogen from the air. It enters the food chain primarily through the work of certain bacteria capable of nitrogen fixation. Specifically, these microorganisms combine nitrogen with hydrogen to make ammonia (NH3) or ammonium (NH4+), which plants can absorb. Still other bacteria convert ammonia or ammonium to nitrate (NO3−), a form even more readily absorbed by plants.
Some nitrogen-fixing bacteria live independently in either soil or water. But the most important exist in a symbiotic relationship in the roots of plants such as legumes. Animals, in turn, obtain the nitrogen they need to grow by eating plants or animals that eat plants. Just as all life on this planet depends on photosynthetic organisms for energy, organisms depend on nitrogen-fixing bacteria as their means for obtaining this vital macronutrient.
In addition, certain high-energy, nonliving processes—such as lightning, fire, and volcanic activity—combine atmospheric nitrogen with oxygen or hydrogen to make ammonia and nitrate. Today, such processes account for a small percentage of the nitrogen entering the food chain. But they would have been the primary source when life first arose on this planet. Today, humans add to the load of nitrogen to nature's cycle in the form of artificial nitrate and ammonia fertilizers.
Living things recycle nitrogen in two ways. Land animals excrete ammonia in their urine. More importantly, decomposers break down the proteins and nucleic acids of dead tissues back into ammonia and nitrates.
However, the nitrogen cycle proves to be not nearly as efficient as that of other nutrients. A huge amount of nitrogen leaves the nutrient cycle when it is carried out of the reach of plant roots by water percolating down through the soil. Local ecosystems also lose nitrogen through the erosion of topsoil and the removal of plants. This is why farmers must continually add nitrogen fertilizers to their fields to maintain large harvests.Soil Mineral Cycles
Weathered rock that helps make up the uppermost layer of Earth's crust supplies many other nutrients needed by plants and animals. These include many trace elements such as copper, zinc, and selenium. Rock also supplies the macronutrient phosphorus, a part of such crucial biochemicals as nucleic acids, phospholipids, and ATP. Together with calcium and magnesium, phosphorus is also a major component of teeth and bones. When rainwater runs over exposed rock, it dissolves phosphorus in the form of phosphate (PO3−), which plants and photosynthetic microorganisms can readily absorb. Phosphorus passes up through the food web before eventually returning to the soil in wastes and dead tissues.

The Truth About the Cabots and the Lowells and That Sort of Thing
Welcome to the August 2012 edition of
Jud's New England Journal, the rather
curious monthly musings of Judson Hale,
the Editor-in-Chief of Yankee Magazine,
published since 1935 in Dublin, N.H
The Truth About the Cabots and
the Lowells and That Sort of Thing
Some of New England's best traditional
humor originates from Boston's old-fashioned
reputation for having a snobby attitude…
A "New England First Family" is not a term much used or even known about these days. But I'm occasionally asked about it. Who is qualified to be a "First Family", people ask – and do they still exist? As to the former, I've always thought of First Families as those whose Puritan ancestors founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony during the 1630's and went on to accumulate considerable wealth and influence. And, sure, some are still around today. Some would be thought of as the quintessential "Boston Brahmin." But, of course, few live in Boston anymore. Most are out on the North Shore. (For those of you who live elsewhere, the North Shore refers to the coastal towns north of Boston.)
I recently ran across an article in an old Yankee describing what was once considered the "proper ancestry" for a First Family. It was written by none other that Oliver Wendell Holmes. To qualify, he wrote, one needed "Four or more generations of gentlemen and gentlewomen; among them a member of his Majesty's Council for the Provinces, a Governor or so, one or two Doctors of Divinity, or a member of Congress not later than the time of long boots with tassels."
Under those general guidelines, I'd say First Families include, for instance, the Cabots who, as the saying goes, speak only to God; the Lowells, who speak only to the Cabots; The Adamses, acknowledged to be the foremost of all First Families; the Forbeses, perhaps the wealthiest; the Appletons, who made a fortune, as many First families did, in the textile industry; the Saltonstalls, who have sent sons to Harvard in every generation since Nathaniel Saltonstall graduated in 1659; the Peabodys, whose family fortune was founded by Joseph Peabody of Salem, a privateer during the Revolution; the Winthrops, who helped found the Massachusetts Historical Society (right up there with the Athenaeum in social status); the Putnams who, along with the Jacksons, Bowditches and Warrens, headed the Harvard Medical School throughout the nineteenth century; the Quincys, who include a President of Harvard; the Phillipses, who founded both Andover and Exeter; the Lodges, who have been senators and oodles of other good positions, including Harvard overseer; the Emersons, whose scion Ralph Waldo did quite well in the writing field; the Eliots, who include presidents of both Trinity and Harvard…and the list goes on.
Well, it doesn't go on forever. While you're not beginning to "slum" after naming the first fifty or sixty, you are beginning to water the soup. The number of First Family members didn't increase as much as one might expect because they all hung around with each other and intermarried. Thus you had a Cabot Lodge, a Godfrey Cabot Lodge, a Cabot Lowell, a Peabody Gardner, an A. Lawrence Lowell and so forth. As historian John Morse, Jr. says in his Memoir of Colonel Henry Lee: "Lees, Cabots, Jacksons and Higginsons knew each other well…and had a satisfying belief that New England morality and intellectuality had produced nothing better than they were, so they contentedly made a little clique of themselves and intermarried very much, with a sure and cheerful faith that in such alliances there can be no blunder."
Today, though most would deny it, First Family-status still can provide an inside track insofar as obtaining certain executive positions in Boston. At least, on the initial contacts. Outside of New England is a different situation, of course – as exemplified by the story of the young Bostonian who requested a family friend at the Old Colony Trust Company (which no longer exists) to write a letter of recommendation to a Chicago firm to which he was applying for a position.
"I can recommend him to you without the slightest reservation," wrote the family friend, saying that the young man's mother was a Cabot, his father was a Lowell and his ancestors were all Peabodys, Appletons, Forbeses, and Saltonstalls.
The Chicago firm politely replied that they were really looking for different information. "After all," they wrote, "we are not contemplating using this young man for breeding purposes."
I wonder if that story is true. Come to think of it, I'd have to say "probably".

Hydrochlorothiazide can lower blood potassium, sodium, and magnesium levels. Low potassium and magnesium levels can lead to abnormalities in heart rhythm, especially in patients already taking digoxin (Lanoxin). During hydrochlorothiazide treatment, supplementation with potassium is common to prevent low potassium levels.
Blood uric acid levels can increase during hydrochlorothiazide treatment, and this elevation may cause an episode of acute gout in some individuals.
Thiazide diuretics may increase blood sugar (glucose) levels and precipitate diabetes.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier hits theaters 4/4/14! Comic book fans are super stoked and chomping at the bit for this latest installment of the Marvel Movie Movement as they wait for its debut.
The newest hero of this little foray into the Marvel Universe is one "Snap" AKA Samuel Wilson know to comic book fans as The High Flying Falcon! Falcon is the first African American superhero, the Black Panther debuted first but he's African not African American, Falcon also precedes Blade by about 4 years. He was created by Stan Lee and Gene Colan, Gene was also part of the creative team for Blade as well.
The Falcon was first introduced as a native of Harlem who had trained a wild falcon, Redwing and was hired by a band of hunters that wanted Redwing's hunting skills.
They were later revealed as former Nazis, these so-called Exiles were actually under the leadership of Captain America's arch enemy The Red Skull. Wilson escaped but remained on the island to help the natives fight their oppressors. Once Cap found out about the plot he began training the Falcon so he could lead the natives to victory.
Later when his origins are re-introduced with much greater depth as we discover Sam had a very tragic past as a teen that loved raising pigeons on the rooftops of Harlem.
He encounters racism which leaves him very jaded and when his minister father is killed while trying to break up a fight it destroys a big part of his moral stability. Two years later his mother is shot and killed by a mugger. This final straw makes Sam snap and he literally becomes "Snap" Wilson, pimp, gangster and drug dealer.
He moves to L.A. and begins a life of crime. During this bit of retcon the journey to Exile island occurs when his plane crashes on the way to a big drug score in Rio De Janeiro. In this version the Exiles had been betrayed by the Red Skull and were in hiding while still enslaving the natives. Also in this version he doesn't meet Redwing until arriving on the island.
Later after his partnership with Cap is well established, Cap's arch enemy The Red Skull captures the Falcon uses the reality warping Cosmic cube form a "super normal mental link" between he and Red Wing.
As this power develops Falcon later discovers he can control birds. Wilson later meets the Black Panther who uses his advanced Wakandan technology to create a flying harness for the Falcon thus finally giving him the ability to actually fly(prior to he was using ropes to swing from rooftop to rooftop).
In the upcoming film Marvel Studios is going with the Ultimates universe version in which Wilson is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and technological genius who creates his own wing apparatus.
If the trailers are any indicator, then we are in for an incredible flight of action and adventure. Examiner can't wait for the date. "Captain America: The Winter Solider," swoops into theaters! Prepare for takeoff, the summer movie season begins on 4/4/14 .

After focusing on Carol, Tyreese, Lizzie, Mika and Judith, next week's "The Walking Dead" catches up with other groups, as seen in the promo and sneak peeks AMC released Sunday, March 16, from episode 415, "Us."
The official description of the next "Walking Dead" episode reads, "However brutal some survivors believe they must be to stay alive, we get to see that faith can sometimes be the strongest survival tool."
This next episode, the penultimate of the season, will show Rick, Daryl and Glenn's groups, based on the promo. It looks like Daryl's going to be getting a closer look at just what the group of people he's with is like – and it looks like trouble. Meanwhile, Glenn and Tara find a tunnel, and Abraham, Eugene and Rosita seem to have found a car. Is the group going to split up? "Tomorrow we go to the end of the line," Abraham says. Will the finale be everyone finding Terminus?
The first "Us" sneak peek (here) shows Abraham and Tara on watch for their group, with both telling the other to get some sleep. He's already planning on splitting up once he finds the right car – so it looks like that could be them leaving in the promo – because "we each have our missions," he explains. He's been trying to get a read on her and originally thought it was the cliché "in love with the guy she's trying to help" story, but then he saw her looking down Rosita's shirt, and there went his theory.
In the second episode 415 clip (here), one of the guys in his new group tries to force Daryl to hand over a rabbit, but that's not happening. Then the guy makes the mistake of talking trash about how a woman has him messed up, and Daryl goes for his knife. Will Daryl get a chance to kill him before a walker inevitable shows up since they're in the woods and this is "The Walking Dead"?
"The Walking Dead" season 4 airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC. What do you think is going to happen in episode 15 "Us"?

As the Blackhawks enter the postseason, they will have an issue to address which is the lack of depth that they have on their team.
During their series against the Los Angeles Kings, it was apparent that the Blackhawks didn't have the depth. Last year, Joel Quenneville was comfortable rolling four lines. In the playoffs this season, he was uncomfortable rolling all four lines and the Blackhawks became a three line team. The Kings on the other hand were able to roll out four lines.
If the Blackhawks are going to return to the Stanley Cup Final in the near future, they will have to add depth. It is simply too taxing if Quenneville has to shorten his bench every game. There is no doubt that the wear and tear of extra shifts did contribute but the Kings were still a deeper team, something that the New York Rangers are finding out very quickly.
Too often in the playoffs, the Blackhawks were a one line team. In the early part of the Kings series, it was the Jonathan Toews, Bryan Bickell and Marian Hossa line that was producing. Then when Patrick Kane got hot, the Toews line cooled off. The only time that the Blackhawks seemed to have more than one line clicking was the final game when the Kane line continued their torrid play and Patrick Sharp awakened from his playoff long hibernation.
Now Dave Bolland and Michael Frolik were not game changers but they were reliable. When it came to it, Quenneville didn't trust Brandon Bollig or Kris Versteeg which often led to a rotation of ten forwards. By the time the Blackhawks had reached the end of their playoff run they were gassed.
It appears that the Blackhawks may have a candidate to solve their second line center woes in Andrew Shaw. Given the tinkering that Quenneville enjoys doing, Shaw is going to have to improve his faceoff percentage if he wants to center Kane and Brandon Saad. However, with the cap situation that the Blackhawks are going to encounter when Toews and Kane sign extensions for most likely around $8-9 million a year and Saad, who is also due a hefty raise after next season, there are going to be players who have to be moved.
Whether it is Shaw or Tuevo Teravainen, expect the Blackhawks to try to solve their second line center situation from within. They simply don't have the cap space as currently constructed to go out and acquire a Ryan Kesler or Joe Thornton to be a second line center.
There are several players who could be jettisoned though. Versteeg has a very manageable cap hit of $2.2 million and Bollig signed an extension during the season that will kick in with a cap hit of $1.25 million. After underwhelming seasons both could be traded during the offseason as the Blackhawks need room for Jeremy Morin and Joakim Nordstrom to play every game as well as Teravainen. This will help their bottom six depth but Quenneville needs to trust them come playoff time. Another intriguing name that you will hear in trade rumors is Patrick Sharp.
Barry Rozner of the Daily Herald has stated that sources have said the Blackhawks will kick the tires to see what they could get for Sharp. If they move Sharp expect a move for a second line center then as Sharp counts for $5.9 million and there would be plenty of room then for a second line center. But this very unlikely to happen as Sharp is still a crucial part of the Blackhawks core despite his postseason struggles.
The other area that the Blackhawks could look to improve is their defense. Johnny Oduya could be moved rather easily as he is entering the final year of his contract with a cap hit of $3.375 million and will be 33 at the start of next season. Oduya did not play well and frequently lost track of his man and turned the puck over during the playoffs. However, it would be a shock if Brent Seabrook is moved although he does possess great value, he is the only player on the Blackhawks defense who is very physical.
Either Nick Leddy or Michal Rozsival could be moved as they both have cap hits of $2+ million. For the Blackhawks, the best thing might be to move Oduya to try to improve the forward depth and allow Leddy to move up and play with either Seabrook or Niklas Hjalmarsson on a regular basis. There are two young defensemen in the AHL in Adam Clendening and Klas Dahlbeck. Clendening recorded 12 goals and 47 assists this season after nine goals last season. Dahlbeck was impressive with 10 goals this year. Both are knocking on the door and it would not be a surprise to see several defensemen traded or moved even before July 1.
There will be plenty of options for the Blackhawks but the number one priority will be to improve the bottom six and finally allow some kids such as Morin to take permanent jobs on the NHL club.
If the Blackhawks decide to allow the youngsters to come up from Rockford there could be mass changes. More likely is the fact that the Blackhawks will make room for Clendening and allow Dahlbeck to gain some more seasoning. But it won't just be the status quo for the Blackhawks this offseason. They know they need to make minor changes and it wouldn't be a surprise to see minor changes. In fact, the only shock would be if the Blackhawks actually address the second line center position. Other than that, minor additions here and there can make a huge difference next year.
One way or another expect a deeper Blackhawks squad come fall.

New York Strip Steak The cut: Strip steaks, located in the short loin, are the second most popular cut after tenderloin, and the second most tender. "Strip steaks have deeper flavor than a tenderloin, they have enough marbling to give great flavor," says Andrew Dombrowski, executive chef at Delmonico's Steakhouse (6001 Quarry Lane, Independence, 216-573-1991).On the menu: Sicilian Style Strip Steak, pan seared in a spicy Sicilian tapenade of olives, peppers, fresh herbs and spices; served with grilled asparagusThe chef says: "The tapenade is homemade and lends depth of flavor. It has a lot of garlic and crushed herbs and chilies," Dombrowski says. "The dish is something very different."
Ribeye The cut: "It's our best cut of steak," says Peter Vauthy, executive chef of Red the Steakhouse (3355 Richmond Road, Beachwood, 216-831-2252). Located in the rib section of the steer, it's just in front of the short loin. Red leaves the "deckle" on its ribeye — an extra tender part of cut that is often removed. The ribeye is "very well marbled and has a super amount of flavor. They're wet-aged by our meat purveyor, and they're so tender and so delicious."On the menu: Vauthy recommends the béarnaise for the ribeye.The chef says: "We make our own herb and vinaigrette reduction, we clarify our own butter, we use fresh eggs," Vauthy says. "It's made fresh all day. The flavor of tarragon is just so good, it's the perfect complement to this steak."
Filet The cut: Filets are cut from the tenderloin, located on the short loin near the steer's back. "Our center-cut filets have a little marbling and are very tender. They're the best cut of meat that you can get — no gristle or no fat," says John Polonye, executive chef at Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse (123 Prospect Ave., Cleveland, 216-344-2444).On the menu: Steak Kosar: A filet mignon over bordelaise crowned with lobster and béarnaise; asparagus and mushroom caps The chef says: "This treatment is available to any cut of meat, but it's especially good with the filet," Polonye says. "The lobster and béarnaise on top of a hot steak is just excellent."

Red Raiders Top Cal State Northridge 3-1
Texas Tech closed out its five-match homestand with a 3-1 victory over Cal State Northridge Sunday.
Sept. 8, 2013
Box Score | Photo Gallery | Highlights and Interviews | Postgame Notes
LUBBOCK, Texas - The Texas Tech soccer team closed out its season-long five match homestand Sunday with a sound 3-1 victory over Cal State Northridge at the John Walker Soccer Complex.
Three separate Red Raiders scored in the match as Texas Tech moved to 5-1-0 on the season.
"It was a strong performance," head coach Tom Stone said. "Sunday college soccer games are not always the prettiest. Everyone is laying it on the line Friday night, you don't have near enough recovery time playing at one o'clock and neither team is going to be at their best physically. So the mental side has to take over. I thought we were certainly the mentally tougher team."
Sophomore forward Janine Beckie got the Red Raiders on the board first with an early goal coming in just the third minute of play. Beckie took a long feed from defender Hayley Haagsma across midfield and sent a shot past Cal State Northridge goalkeeper Cynthia Tafoya for her third goal of the season and 17th of her young career.
The score was the fastest start by Texas Tech this season and the earliest goal by a Red Raider in a match since Beckie scored in the opening minute of the 2012 season opener against Idaho.
"Janine is so composed on breakaways," Stone said. "It was impressive and a great start for us."
Tech scored again in the first half when Briana Rohmer connected on a header inside the penalty box to put the Red Raiders on top 2-0 in the 39th minute. The score came by way of a double assist from Haagsma and sophomore Caity Heap.
On the play, Heap sent a corner kick near the top of the box where Haagsma relayed a perfect pass to Rohmer who punched the header home from six-yards out.
The score was Rohmer's first of the season and second of her career. Meanwhile, Haagsma picked up her second assist of the afternoon pushing her total to three for the season. She entered the match already with three goals and now leads the Red Raiders with nine points on the year.
Sunday marked Haagsma's first career multi-assist game, and caps off a weekend that also featured her first career game-winning goal Friday against Cal State Fullerton.
Tech sophomore Caity Heap then connected on the third Red Raider goal of the afternoon when she found the back of the net off a well-placed pass from junior teammate Paige Strahan. The strike came in the 61st minute of play, and marked Heap's second goal of the season and Strahan's second assist of the year.
Cal State Northridge broke up the shutout opportunity minutes later when Hannah Wissler connected on a header to cut the Tech lead to 3-1 in the 64th minute. It marked just the fourth goal Tech has given up in six matches this season.
Senior goalkeeper Victoria Esson made a season-high three saves in front of the Red Raider net while picking up her fifth win of the season.
The Red Raiders hit the road next week as they travel to Arizona for the `Cats Classic featuring match ups with Arizona State (Sept. 13) and Arizona (Sept. 15).

Selena Gomez: Innocent Pop Princess or Harbinger of Evil?
Disney's newest singing sensation is slowly taking over the world with her poppy tunes and quirky character. Initially cast as Wizards of Waverly Place's main character Alex Russo, it was only a matter of time before she took the all too well known step from acting to singing. Her third album When the Sun Goes Down came out this year and has sold millions worldwide.
But let's look at this from another point of view. Nobody seems to be worried about this girl taking it a bit too far and polluting our children's minds with her leftist agenda and overall bad influence. First of all, the title of her new album should serve as a clear sign: when the sun goes down, evil comes out. As soon as it turns dark, you're on Satan's playground.
To show you just how far Disney and ms. Gomez will go, I will provide you with a song by song analysis:
1. Love You Like A Love Song
Selena starts out subtly with this overproduced pop song about love and devotion. Or is it? If you listen closely to the lyrics, it seems to be more about stalking somebody and not wanting to leave them be than about unconditional love. And what is that line "and I keep hitting repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat" all about? Wouldn't surprise me if this is a reference to sex. And what do we get when we combine stalkers and sex? Exactly: rape.
2. Bang Bang Bang
First of all, on this track Selena berates her ex(?) boyfriend about not being goodlooking enough. What a great message to send out to our kids: who cares about personality, it's only the outside that counts!
But then: is he really her ex boyfriend? Whenever she sings about him feeling bad for her having left him, she uses future tense. Implying that she is already with her new guy ("Stealing all my love back, giving it to him") whilst still an a supposedly committed relationship. Also, the song title is obviously either a reference to sex or murder. Not sure which one is worse.
3. Who Says
This track could initially be percieved as positive, telling Selena's listeners that they are beautiful, no matter that. But listen more closely:
I'm sure you got some things
You'd like to change about yourself
But when it comes to me
I wouldn't want to be anybody else
Apparently Selena thinks you are ugly, but shie is perfect just the way she is. She later reinforces this statement by singing "I'm just beautiful me".
Well thanks a lot Selena, for that boost of confidence.
4. We Own The Night
Who is it exactly that own the night? Exactly: vampires, zombies and Satan. No further explanation needed.
5. Hit The Lights
At first listen this seems – yet again – to be a positive message: don't delay the things you want to do. Tell that guy you like him, take that trip you always wanted to take. But then: take that trip to Las Vegas, a.k.a. the City of Sin. And further up in this song, Selena start encouraging kids to take drugs and go "all the way" (roofies reference), "dance forever" (XTC) and "raise your glasses". So, after taking all those drugs, kids get encouraged to wash them down with some more alcohol…
6. Whiplash
Bodily injuries are not a thing to joke about. Especially in a song that is clearly all about sex. Disgusting.
7. When The Sun Goes Down
"The party doesn't start until the sun goes down." I don't know about you, parents of America, but if I had children their curfew would be well before dark. A young child has no business being outside at night. All that does is get them addicted to alcohol and crack.
Also, never before have I seen such a blatant example of product placement in a song: "I check my iPhone, let me see what's going on." Honestly, I wouldn't want my kid anywhere near such a liberal, leftist device. It would only pollute their minds.
8. My Dilemma
Another side of Selena's bad influence comes to light here. She sings about being in an abusive relationship, but not wanting to leave the guy that hits her and is bad for her, because she is attracted to him physically. Whore.
9. That's More Like It
Selena tells the story about how her boyfriend used to be the dominant one in the relationship and she was submissive and often forgotten (as all good wives should be) and how she changed into some kind of dominatrix ("it's great to be on top")
I love cashmere, and I want diamonds
Ready for my massage right now
It would suit you as a woman and a future mother to tone it down a little bit, Selena.
10. Outlaw
Here, Selena accuses somebody of being an outlaw from love. Doesn't she know that everybody deserves love? To deny anybody that is just plain mean.
11. Middle Of Nowhere
In this song, Selena has been dumped by her lesbian lover ("I don't know if I can stand straight") and actually regrets it. This is your chance to get back in the normal, heterosexual lifestyle! Don't go around telling our kids that ending a gay homosexual relationship is a regrettable thing!
12. Dices
This is that horrible self-induglent song we've already heard before on track #3, but now it has been translated into the immigrant language of Spanish. Apparently, it's not enough anymore that they're taking over our jobs, now they're also taking over our songs! Stop it already!
I sincerely hope that I have managed to persuade you not to buy your kdis this album. Especially not for Christmas, a.k.a. Jesus' birthday! I will leave the final decision to you, but I sure as heck know which album should be burned, deleted and/or forgotten. If you don't do it for yourself, do it for the children!
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused
- Shocked
- Sad
- Angry

Don't forget, Fellow Austinites, that Earth Hour is tonight! From 8:30pm to 9:30pm, turn off your lights and save some energy. This will help out the planet....but more importantly, it will also help you!
Since there are 24 hours in a day, and 30 days in a month, that means that each month is made up of 720 hours. If your monthly electric bill is, say, $300, that means that you are paying almost $0.50 per hour of electricity!
Maybe 50 cents doesn't seem like much, but if you found two shiny quarters in the street, I bet you'd be pretty darn happy.
When your next electric bill comes in and is only $299.50, I'll be you'll still be happy.
And isn't the point of life to be happy?
Maybe you'll want to get a whole dollar out of this; so maybe the next day you'll turn the lights off for another hour.
So participate in Earth Hour today. Save 50 cents, save the world.

The Ten Most Unflattering Things in Esquire's Newt Gingrich Profile
He wanted his wife to "tolerate" his affair, he has no principles, and his life is based around the search for a cookie.
With Newt Gingrich seemingly laying the groundwork for a presidential run or at least pretending to it's about time to reexamine the life and philosophy of this fascinating figure in American politics. Thankfully, Esquire is out with a revelatory, engaging profile of the former speaker of the House and his position as the"philosopher king" of the Republican Party, a man who vacillates between anti-Obama hysteria ("The secular socialist machine represents as great a threat to America as Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union once did") and principled disagreements with tea partiers over immigration ("People who come here overwhelmingly come to work") and income taxes ("None of the Founding Fathers would have said that George Washington, owning Mount Vernon as the largest landowner, should pay the same tax as somebody who was a cobbler"). While the article definitely gives Gingrich credit — for his intellectualism, for his success at balancing the budget — there's plenty in there that won't help his image. Herewith, the ten most unflattering things in the profile.
10. He lives his life based on weird metaphors about cookies:
"There's a large part of me that's four years old," he tells you. "I wake up in the morning and I know that somewhere there's a cookie. I don't know where it is but I know it's mine and I have to go find it. That's how I live my life. My life is amazingly filled with fun."
9. Nobody buys the movies he releases through the group Citizens United.
According to Bruce Nash of Nash Information Services, a company that tracks movie sales, these films some directed by a man best known for a TV show called Bikes from Hell are spectacular failures. "The most popular appears to be Ronald Reagan: Rendezvous with Destiny, which is most likely selling a couple thousand copies a year through major retailers. Rediscovering God in America sells perhaps two thousand units."
8. His health-care group doesn't do what it claims it does:
Then there's the Center for Health Transformation, another group Gingrich runs. On its Web site, it describes its work in Georgia as a model for all its efforts and says the "cornerstone" of its work is a group called Bridges to Excellence. But CHT "had zero role in creating Bridges to Excellence," says François de Brantes, the group's CEO. CHT helped with organization for one year and hasn't been associated with them since 2008. The CHT Web site also singles out the "Healthy Georgia Diabetes and Obesity Project" as its major diabetes effort, but that was news to the American Diabetes Association. "We were not able to find any information about this," says the ADA's communications director, Colleen Fogarty. "The person that was in contact with them is no longer here." It turns out that the CHT is a for-profit outfit that charges big health insurers like Blue Cross and Blue Shield up to $200,000 a year for access to the mind of Newt Gingrich.
7. He started to act crazy after being fined $300,000 by the House Ethics Committee "yelling at people," "slurping his food" during meetings, and just not "functioning."
6. He steals lines from his ex-wife and passes them off as his own:
"[Current wife] Callista and I kid that I'm four and she's five and therefore she gets to be in charge, because the difference between four and five is a lot."....
[Ex-wife Marriane's] eyes go wide when she hears his line about being four to Callista's five. "You know where that line came from? Me. That's my line. That's what I told him."
She pauses for a moment, turning it over in her mind. Then she shakes her head in wonder. "I'm sorry, that's so freaky."
5. He has no "real principles" except the "pursuit of power," according to former Republican congressman Mickey Edwards, who's known Newt for 30 years.
4. He doesn't care about being a hypocrite: After Marianne questioned how he could give a speech on family values while carrying on an affair with his decades-younger aide (who became his third wife), Newt replied, "It doesn't matter what I do. People need to hear what I have to say. There's no one else who can say what I can say. It doesn't matter what I live."
3. He wanted Marianne to just "tolerate" his affair, "an offer she refused."
2. Regardless, he then announced that, though he'd been having an affair for six years, "he and Marianne had an understanding," a claim Marianne denies. "Of course not," she says. "It's silly."
1. He delivered divorce papers to his first wife his former high-school teacher while she was in the hospital recovering from uterine cancer. He broke things off with his second wife
seven eight months after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
