Skip to comments.Western state officials: Take control of federal lands within states
Posted on 04/19/2014 9:10:43 AM PDT by ponygirlEdited on 04/19/2014 9:19:27 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Officials from nine Western states say its time they take control of federal lands within their borders.
The lawmakers and county commissioners met at Utahs Capitol on Friday to discuss their joint goal of wresting oil-, timber- and mineral-rich lands away from the feds.

The Calf That Roared
It's time for the states to take control of everything the federal government has put its tentacles into.
It has abused its power so thoroughly. It is now time for it to be rendered powerless.
We need to say the same here in the east as well. They aren't taking big chunks like out west but 50 acres here and 100 acres there are adding up.
As Towns grew, the local people took care of matters as needed.
The Feds were to protect us, deal with foreign powers and coin money.
In 1790, the Feds stole the states right to deal with the Indians...and caused all kinds of havoc.
Now, the Feds are into every damn thing. School lunch programs is a good example of Feds gone crazy!!
It's rather perverse that the feds get money from the use of these lands and then consider it "red state welfare" when they give a portion of it back.
The king is not about to give up his forest without a fight...
Kick the feds out of the west, take our states back! EVERYTHING the federal government touches devolves into a corrupted, greed fueled train wreck, where the people end up being the losers.
Since we are now so indebted to foreign nations (China)by borrowing so much money, does the Federal government put these lands up as collateral, and then allow it to be sold to lower our debt?
The Roosevelt era (Teddy)...was the period where this protection of the new western states started to take place. It is true...most states had mafia-like politics in place and probably at that point in time...needed some federal protection. Since the 1960s....I'd say that this gimmick is mostly done and it's more likely to find mafia-like politics at the national level....than at the state-level.
My humble guess is that there will be some rush now to proclaim twenty-odd new national parks....but beyond that...the ninety-percent of federal property out there....ought to revert back to the states and be put up for auction.
When you ask who would be better stewards of our lands in the west, the feds or the states, just remember Harry Reid. That one name alone should convince you the feds need to cede control back th the states.
Right on! This is a big step in the right direction.
ALL federal lands should be brought back to local control. The BLM and USFS lands to the counties, and the park system to the states.
If the BLM and USFS lands are given to the states, you can deal with the cesspool blackhole that is your state capital. If given to the counties, you can get right smack into the faces of the county authorities.
Then Rory Reid would be waiting in the wings to continue the self serving corruption.
Long past time. Let's do it people!
Then they built a huge number of forts and hired soldiers to fight the Indians so the land could be settled.
The feds paid for the territorial govts.
And it was the people back east who were paying for this.
A lot of people will tell you that the way Congress disbursed the western lands, or didn't disburse the western lands, was done in a way that would limit the power of the west(relative to the east), after these western states entered the union.
Yeah Rory is a chip off the old block, isn't he? Does that family have any shame?
About time.
I believe it began with the survey of the Northwest Territories. There were dispute going back to colonies about where the western boundaries were. The feds ordered a survey of the Northwest terr. After the survey they sold off parcels of land and retired the national debt which came out of the revolution war and thereafter,
I believe this was the model for subsequent territories and one of the reasons the income tax was not permanent until the 1900s after we ran out of new territories.
I would like to see a balanced budget amendment followed by a federal land sale off. Say 50% sold and 50% under state control. We may not retire the national debt, but we could pay it down by a few trillion.
How are we then going to pay back our debt to the Chi-cons & others. The U.S. will not declared BK. By law it can't & its assets must be given as collateral. If we take all of the govs land there is no payments. The elites will not allow it, ergo this will be a fight to the finish if both hunker down. Since when have the people in recent times ever won that war.
I agree completely with your concerns.
America is currently broken.
We import everything from China it seems. 440 billion last year in imports from China, vs just 122 billion in exports to China.
Every day we owe China more, than we did the day before.
Our entire system is built on sold-out formerly American businesses, using Chinese labor then re-importing the goods back to America.
The problem with this is, China is not open. Americans cannot invest in Chinese companies or buy Chinese land. So what happens is we rack up ever more debt.
No don't sell off our federal lands until we get America's terrible trade deficit under control.
First. Now.
When Congress enacted the Taylor Grazing Act they created the Grazing Division to manage the act and the lands. And that was renamed the US Grazing Service, which would be merged with General Land Office to create the BLM in 1946.
Then Congress enacted FLPMA(1976) which radically changed and enlarged the BLM mission, so all the General Land Office duties were removed from BLM. All homesteading ended in 1976 and the mission became multi-use. There were other things to be done with the lands besides grazing.
I'll tell you a little secret. The states don't want these lands. The grazers won't buy them because they would then have to pay property taxes. If the states take these lands, then they will be the ones getting sued by Earth Justice and the Sierra Club. The developers would love to get the lands so they could turn them into Mini-Ranchettes and Mobile Home Estates.
And it wasn't just FLPMA in the 70s. OSHA, MHSA, Endangered Species Act, Clean Water and Air Acts and other enviro regs, creating EPA, Healthy Forests and how clearcutting would proceed in the Natl Forests, the Magnussen Act and the feds taking control of the ocean fisheries.
It didn't work in the dry zone west. In order for it to work in the west, these parcels would have to be huge and Congress was not willing pass out large tracts of land..
So, instead the tracts remained small, and these other lands would be available so individuals could graze out onto the govt land.
Land was/is power
As if toilets, ladders, light bulbs, septic systems, lawn mowers, and pretty much anything related to life aren't prime examples as well. Food, clothing, shelter, transportation, travel, Identification, personal privacy, hand in your pocket from birth to death and it will only get worse unless we the people in the name of sovereign states take control before all possibility of control is lost.
>>> The states don't want these lands.<<<
More than 50 political leaders from nine states convened for the first time to talk about their joint goal: wresting control of oil-, timber -and mineral-rich lands away from the feds...
Apparently this group wants the lands in their states back.
The Feds are doing a fine job of managing the land at gunpoint. It seems this Nevada rancher has a good case of adverse possession going for him.
"I'll tell you a little secret. The states don't want these lands.
If the states take these lands, then they will be the ones getting sued by Earth Justice and the Sierra Club."
I'm not buying either comment, but part of the problem appears to be an out of control judiciary. Something isn't right when an organization can shop judges to get what they want for a verdict, meaning one man in a black robe against the people.
You and I both know that was not the Republic the Founders designed, and radical environmentalists comprising a small fraction of the moral busybodies in the United States have been granted far more license than they ever should have had.
I believe much of the highly destructive forest fires we have been force to endure and the Mountain Pine Beetle destruction can be laid right at the doorstep of those ignorant folks who place the life of anything on the planet on a higher scale than man, who was given dominion over all.
I call all of this misguided meddling people wanting to play God rather than understanding what goodness he has provided for our blessing and benefit.
He has lost over and over in court. It is only now after he has exhausted all his legal arguments that he decided to fight it with guns
The good guys. :-)
Yes, I did not address the size of lots etc, but the method was used throughout the 1800s IIRC.
This will be the next American Revolution.
It's not all about selling the land. It's about managing it. The Feds to a piss poor job of it and then charge us for it. The people closest to it do a better job.
He has a case in claiming prescriptive easement. And this is why the Feds are crapping themselves and deciding to go all Rambo on the man.
Who brought the guns out first? It certainly wasn't Bundy.
Got it bookmarked. Thanks Hildy.
Because I have conflicted info on that. The Morrell Act said increments of 40 acres. I've seen some say a quarter of a section or 160 acres. Walter Prescott Webb in his book on settling the west said 360 or 180 acres.
Any of these numbers are small numbers when you consider that it takes a 100 or more acres to graze one head in these western lands. Spanish and Mexican land grants were in the 100s of thousands of acres. Texas disposed of her lands and created very large ranches.
I'm interested in any sources you have on that.
Sorry, I'm really not a scholar or a serious student for that matter.
There was a book a few years ago about the lead surveyor and the issues at the time. That's as far as I've read.
The Fabric of America
Wrong about what?
Bundy's confrontation was planned well in advance. His militia was extensive and came from many states, and they came ahead of time. They were there when BLM arrived to seize the cattle, and they were itching for a firefight.
BTW, with all your vast lawyering skills and license, can you give me the legal argument on the prescriptive easement
I'm not a scholar either. I read Webb's book, The High Plains, 20 years ago(pre-internet days). It was published in the 30s but is still considered an authoritative source and is still in print at U of Nebraska Bison Press because many western colleges use it as a textbook.
I like history but I'm all over the map from Rome to the current time. Someone bought me this book as a gift. It was an interesting read. There was another book about Mason-Dixon about 10 years ago. A best seller I think.
Now reading The Hour Of Peril about the plot to kill Lincoln at the Baltimore train station on his way from Springfield to the first inauguration.
I guess my interest is like pieces of a jig saw puzzle. Some day all of it will come together, in chronological order, I hope.
Wrong about the States not wanting the land. I go one further. I want the Counties to be the ones to manage their own land.
After Congress enacted FLPMA there was a push led by Orrin Hatch, but it never went anywhere.
I don't mean to criticize you but you are missing a sense of scale. Among more than 71,000 lease holders the problems are mainly minor and very, very few in number. Kooks and malcontents like Bundy don't come along very often . These grazers recognize that they are getting a very good deal and it is easy to "bend" the rules and regs to their benefit.
Collectively, over 25,000 individuals now work as armed agents of federal agencies not usually associated with law enforcement. These are not just guards. These agents go out on raids to enforce the orders of federal bureaucracies. No bureaucracy should have a private army to enforce its orders against the American people.
Outside of law enforcement, federal agencies now employ over 25,000 people as armed agents. They are more than guards. Theyve become like private armies that can push around private citizens. Over 70 non-military federal agencies now have their own armed agents.
One expects armed agents with the FBI, the U.S. Marshal Service and the Border Patrol.
But an armed EPA, Fish & Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, even the Social Security Administration and the National Institutes of Health?
The Department of Education and the Department of Housing and Urban Development have their own armed agents. As do the Food and Drug Administration. And Veterans Affairs, the Government Printing Office, the National Zoo, and the Library of Congress

Every NBA team seems to have about 700 coaches these days, so you might assume that players are getting plenty of one-on-one time with the people in charge...
...Until you read the following passage from John Eligon's article in today's New York Times. The story here is that Coach Lawrence Frank sat Jeff McInnis down and showed him, on video, what he was doing that caused Coach Frank to bench him for part of a game. Somehow I thought that kind of thing was happening multiple times a week all over the league. But McInnis's reaction makes me think it's not:
He had a private film session with Frank on Saturday and responded with 10 points against the Lakers and 12 against the Nuggets, many of his baskets coming at crucial moments of the game. McInnis has also taken more of the initiative by creating shots.
He said he was happy that Frank took time out for him. McInnis had fallen out of favor with some of his past teams.
"It was cool he was just showing me what I was doing wrong to try to help me, instead of just benching me and not playing me," McInnis said.

The Donnie McClurkin Story: From Darkness...To Light
Raised in a household tainted by violence and drug abuse, Donnie McClurkin found a safe haven from the troubles and temptations that surrounded him in the word of Jesus; at the age of nine, he committed himself to Christ and was helped by a sympathetic aunt who sang in the choir of gospel music great Andre Crouch. With Crouch's guidance, McClurkin became a gospel singer and pastor himself, and despite a life-threatening bout with leukemia, he continues to spread the word of god in story and song. Donnie McClurkin Story: From Darkness...To Light is a documentary in which McClurkin shares his true and inspiring story. Joining him in song are Kirk Franklin, BeBe and CeCe Winans, Marvin Winans, and Patti LaBelle, while McClurkin's friends Beyoncé Knowles, Steve Harvey, Andre Crouch, Bishop T.D. Jakes, and Magic Johnson also share their stories.

According to Peter Gammons, the Rangers were in the hunt to acquire Matt Garza from the Tampa Bay Rays to the very end -- and he's reporting what Texas was willing to give up.
According to Gammons, the Rangers would have sent left-hander Derek Holland, right-hander Frank Francisco, minor league outfielder Engel Beltre, and Cubs catcher Robinson Chirinos -- who would have been acquired in a separate deal -- to the Rays for Garza.
However, it was the Cubs who wound up acquiring Garza.
Joey Matschulat of our partner blog, Baseball Time in Arlington, had this to say about the Rangers' offer:
The prevailing response to this revelation among Rangers fans appears to be one of relief intertwined with subtle dismay, as Holland is still a young, talented left-hander with quality stuff and potential that has yet to be fully tapped (although the scenario where he evolves into anything more than a mid-rotation starter is beginning to resemble more of a long-shot scenario), Francisco is a solid late-inning weapon who is still more than capable of closing games elsewhere in the majors, and Beltre is a top-100 prospect, albeit not the sort that can carry a major trade on his own merits due to the heightened bust potential. Why would Texas move that sort of package, plus whatever assets might have been required to procure Chirinos (let's just pretend the cost would have been Chris Davis), for a pitcher coming off a mediocre 1.8-win campaign last season?

Forced to take drastic measures in order to survive, Ellie does what so many Irish women in the 1920s have done and sails across a vast ocean to New York City to work as a maid for a wealthy socialite. Once there, Ellie is introduced to a world of opulence and sophistication, tempted by the allure of grand parties and fine clothes, money and mansions . . . and by the attentions of a charming suitor who can give her everything. Yet her heart remains with her husband back home. And now she faces the most difficult choice she will ever have to make: a new life in a new country full of hope and promise, or return to a life of cruel poverty . . . and love.

La habitación está bien, así como los baños y el resto del apartamento. Sin embargo, la información que aparece en la página web, puede llevar a confusión, por que cuando la reservé, yo creía que se trataba de un apartamento independiente con una habitación. Es un apartamento compartido, con varias habitaciones y baños y cocina comunes.

Hello! My stanying in this apartament has been very good, near the underground, clean, new i recomended this.
Absolutely not recommended: Frequently willdfremde people with private door key to day and night ran through our apartment to reach across to underlying premises. This to prevent has not been possible because the door would not let block from the inside. Other shortcomings: Exposed electrical wiring, no light in the bathroom, leftovers from the previous guest in the fridge and freezer, only 8 real beds, instead of remaining 2 beds only a wobbly folding camp bed, and finally a very unfriendly "landlord" - NEVER AGAIN !!!
Absolut nicht empfehlenswert : Häufig liefen willdfremde Menschen mit eigenem Türschlüssel zu Tages- und Nachtzeiten quer durch unsere Ferienwohnung um dahinterliegende Räume zu erreichen. Dies zu unterbinden war nicht möglich, da sich die Wohnungstür nicht von innen versperren liess. Weitere Mängel : Offenliegende Elektroinstallation, kein Licht im Bad, Essensreste vom Vormieter in Kühlschrank und Gefrierfach, lediglich 8 richtige Betten, statt der restlichen 2 Betten lediglich ein wackeliges klappbares Campingbett , und schliesslich ein sehr unfreundlicher "Vermieter" - NIE WIEDER !!!
I had a pleasant stay. Everything was clean, new and modern and I'll be always at your back.
In the room I certainly missed a trash can and a black out blind. In the kitchen you can have quiet ready put more clean towels.
Ich hatte einen angenehmen Aufenthalt. Alles war sauber, neu und modern und ich komme jederzeit gerne wieder.
Im Zimmer habe ich allerdings einen Mülleimer und ein Verdunklungsrollo vermisst. In der Küche hätte man ruhig mehrere sauber Handtücher bereitlegen können.
Positives: plenty of space, comfortable lounge / living / kitchen area, 2 showers, 2 toilets, 3 single key
Negative: 101 steps - 5 floor, room decor very spartan, difficult parking situation, loud street noise in the bedrooms
Positiv: viel Platz, angenehmer Aufenthalts/Wohn/Küchenbereich, 2 Duschen, 2 Toiletten, 3 einzelne Schlüssel
Negativ: 101 Treppenstufen - 5 OG, Zimmer sehr spartanisch eingerichtet, schwierige Park-Situation, lauter Straßenlärm in den Schlafzimmern
Thwle apartment was very good. But the guy who runs it doesnt know what hospitaly or privacy means.
He wasn't there when we arrived
Shows up IN the apartment the next morning with is own key, without any notice or ringing the door bell.
Tells us only than the rules of the apartment
And the next day wants to hold in the deposit because we allegedly broke the rules on the first day.
So I wouldnt reccomend it, and I most defenately wouldnt reccomend paying the deposit.

|Metabolic syndrome; Sex hormone binding globulin; Iran; Prolactin
|Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has emerged as a major health problem worldwide. Based on current World Heart Federation guidelines[http://www.world-heart-federatio.org], the major CVD risk factors are obesity, hypertension, poor lipid profile parameters, and diabetes [1]. In the recent decades, many studies have been conducted to evaluate the relationship between hormones and cardiovascular risk factors [1-3]. Prolactin has been reported as a potent lipogenic and diabetogenic factor [4,5], that affecting energy balance and fuel metabolism [6]. A study in postmenopausal women showed an association between BMI, an indicator of abdominal fat, and serum prolactin levels [7]. Steroid sex hormones also exert effects on CVD risk factors through their specific receptors which are widely expressed in several tissues including adipose tissue [8]. In women, whether present endogenously or administered exogenously, levels of estrogenic hormones are known to be correlated to increasing HDL levels, resulting in protection against CVD risk [9]. In terms of testosterone, most studies report an increased risk of CVD in women, due to androgenicity, characterized by high testosterone and low SHBG (Sex hormone binding globulin) levels [10-12]; however data from recent observational studies mostly show an inverse relationship between testosterone and CVD risk [13]. There are also many reports of the strong relation between central obesity in women and serum androgen levels [14-16]. The greater incidence of hypertension in postmenopausal women compared with premenopausal women suggests vascular effects of sex hormones that may contribute to the development of hypertension [17].
|The majority of the above mentioned results are from studies on postmenopausal, obese or women with polycystic ovary syndrome, who carry an altered hormonal milieu. In the present study we aimed to investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome parameters, as a risk factor for development of CVD, and hormones in women with no signs or symptoms of hyperandrogenemia (nonhirsute, normoovulatory) and also to assess the effect of extreme limits of normal measures on MetS parameters.
|Materials and Methods
|The subjects of this study was selected from the Iranian PCOS Prevalence Study, a population based cross-sectional study of 1126 women, aged 18-45 years, was undertaken in 2009-2010 [18]. The eligible women were invited for a comprehensive interview and blood pressure, anthropometric, hormonal, and metabolic measurements. These data were completed for all except for 97 women who did not come to the clinics and 19 participants whose hormonal and metabolic profiles were not available. We also excluded women with PCOS using Rotterdam definition (n= 136), an ovulation (n=77), polycystic ovaries (n=74), hirsutism (n=205), hypothyroid (n=10) and women with hyperprolactinemia (n=5). Furthermore those women who were pregnant at the time of study (n=43), menopausal women (n=37) were also excluded from the present study. For the purpose of the present study, all women aged 18-45 who don't meet our exclusion criteria were included. Finally 423 eumenorrheic non hirsute women were enrolled for the study.
|All participants underwent clinical examinations, where body weight, height, waist and hip circumferences and blood pressure were measured by trained staff. Height and weight were measured with subjects in light clothes and without shoes, using standard apparatus. Weight was measured to the nearest 0.1 kg on a calibrated beam scale. Height and waist circumference (WC) were measured to the nearest 0.5 cm with a measuring tape. Waist was measured midway between the lower rib margin and the iliac-crest, at the end of a gentle expiration. Body mass index was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the height in meters squared (kg/m2).
|A blood sample for biochemical measurements was taken from each subject on the second or third day of their menstrual cycles, after 12 hours overnight fasting. Blood samples were collected in EDTAtreated test tubes. Informed consent was obtained from all participants before study entry.
|Laboratory measurements
|Plasma was separated in a refrigerated centrifuge at 3000 rpm for ten minutes and sera were stored at -80º C until tested. Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) was measured using an enzymatic colorimetric method with Glucose Oxidase. Lipid measurements including Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglycerides (TG) and High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) were used by commercial assay kits (Pars Azmoon Inc.,Tehran, Iran). TC and TG were assayed using enzymatic colorimetric tests with cholesterol esterase and cholesterol oxidase, and glycerol phosphate oxidase, respectively. HDL-C was measured after precipitation of the apolipoprotein B containing lipoproteins with phosphotungstic acid. All samples were analyzed when internal quality control met the acceptable criteria. In all biochemical analyses, the intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation (CV) were less than 2.5% and 3.2% respectively. Androstendion (A4) was measured by enzyme immunoassay (EIA), (Diagnostic Biochem Canada Co. Ontario,Canada), and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) was measured by Immunoenzymometric assay (IEMA), (Mercodia, Uppsala, Sweden). All ELISA tests were performed using the Sunrise ELISA reader (Tecan Co. Salzburg, Austria). Prolactin (PRL), and Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) was measured by immunora diametric assay (IRMA), (Izotop, Budapest, Hungary) using gamma counter Wallac Wizard, Turku, Finland). The intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were: DHEAS: 2.0% and 5.1%; SHBG: 1.2% and 5.7%; A4: 2.2% and 3.5%; TSH: 1.7%, 3.4%, and PRL: 2.1% and 4.1%.
|Metabolic syndrome, based on the joint interim statement (JIS) definition, was considered to be the presence of any 3 of 5 risk factors of the following [19]: WC ≥95 (country-specific cutoff point for Iranians [20]), HDL <50, SBP ≥130 or DBP ≥85, TG ≥150 and FBS ≥100.
|Statistical analysis
|Statistical analysis: Continuous variables were checked for normality using the one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnoff test, and expressed as mean ± standard deviation and/ or median (IQ 25- 75), as appropriate. Correlation between hormones concentrations and metabolic parameters were checked using the Pearson and the Spearman correlation coefficients for normal and non-normal values respectively. Logistic regression was used to identify the association between each MS component and hormonal parameters, after adjustment for other variables.
|The hormonal concentrations were categorized to 4 quartiles, following which the mean or median of metabolic parameters were compared between 1st and 4th quartiles using the T and Mann- Whitney tests for normal and non-normal values respectively.
|Clinical and metabolic characteristics of the women participants are presented in Table 1. Table 2 shows the correlation coefficients of the serum hormones concentrations and metabolic syndrome parameters. All of the measured hormones except testosterone and TSH were correlated with WC. In addition, A4 was significantly correlated with HDL-C and DBP. Also TSH was correlated with SBP. Our results have shown that FBS was significantly correlated with TSH and SHBG concentrations. Clinical and metabolic characteristics of subjects are presented in table 1.
|Logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate the association between serum hormones concentration with metabolic syndrome risk factors after adjustment for age and BMI (Table 3). Inverse associations between SHBG and prolactin with WC were revealed. A significant positive association was seen between SHBG and A4 with FBS and HDL respectively. We also found an association between TSH concentration and TG.
|Serum hormones concentrations were classified into four groups and MS parameters were compared in lower and higher quartiles. Our analyses revealed that DBP, HDL, FBS and WC are significantly different between quartiles 1 and 4 of TSH concentration. Also, FBS and WC differed in the two groups of SHBG concentration values (Figure 1).
|Our results have also shown that the prevalence of MS in subjects with lower PRL are significantly greater than those with higher PRL, however prevalence of MS in groups with high and low TSH, A4 and SHBG were not significantly different.
|There were 54 women who use oral contraceptive pill, excluding those women from data was not changed the results.
|The results of our study provide evidence showing the correlation between serum hormones concentration and parameters of metabolic syndrome. An association was found between serum TSH, prolactin, and SHBG and waist circumferences, data which suggest that extreme limits of these hormones are accompanied with higher cardio metabolic risks.
|Central obesity is associated with reduced serum SHBG and in our study this association remained significant even after adjustment for age and BMI. Reinecke et al. [21] showed that hyperandrogenemia and low sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) are frequently found in patients with metabolic syndrome .The results of our study is also concordant with those of a recent systematic review by Brand et al. [22] concluding that, in both men and women, MetS is associated with lower SHBG levels. In fact, serum hormones level influence the development of CVD both indirectly, by developing secondary metabolic changes such as increased WC , obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance, or dyslipidemia, and directly, by inducing significant changes in cellular pathways that promote the process of atherogenesis, and thrombosis.
|Based on our results, there is an inverse association between serum prolactin, and waist circumferences. Although contrary to our findings Kok et al. showed enhanced secretion of prolactin in obese patients, they evaluated only 11 patients with morbid obesity and dose not coincide with the population of this study [5]. In contrast to our results, Ernst B et al., found neither any significant association between basal serum PRL levels and the degree of obesity or related metabolic disturbances nor any systematic changes in basal concentrations of the hormone after massive weight loss, they also showed that excess energy primarily toward the visceral fat depot is promoted directly by prolactin [23]. It should be noted that study of Ernst B et al. included a mixed population (men and women) with an age range involving postmenopausal women, therefore it is hoped that the results do not match.
|Our data confirmed a significant difference on metabolic syndrome's components such as low HDL-cholesterol and waist circumference between women whose serum TSH level is in 1st quartile in comparison to those in 4th quartile (Figure 1). Ruhla S et al. [24] also confirmed significant positive correlations between TSH in euthyroid subjects and obesity, high triglycerides, and an increased likeliness for the metabolic syndrome, suggesting therefore that TSH level below 2.5 mU/l are associated with a favorable metabolic profile. Recent investigation in Korean population [25] showed that higher levels of TSH may predict the MetS. Thyroid hormones have many effects on metabolic changes in the body, through stimulating basal metabolic rate.
|Our findings showed a favorable association between FBS with TSH and SHBG concentration that remained after adjustment for age and BMI. Park SB et al. [25] also found higher levels of TSH to be associated with increased insulin resistance, even after adjustment for the confounding factors. Carbohydrate metabolism, both in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue seems to be affected by thyroid hormones through the action of insulin. The results of our study indicates that insulin probably plays active roles for modulation of serum SHBG levels and increasing insulin level suppresses SHBG production [26]; this is more enhanced in patients with obesity, and a reduced level of SHBG may be an indication of an hyper androgenic state, and a marker for prediction of insulin resistance. Suppressed level of SHBG accompanied by high serum androgen level may be a marker for endocrine and metabolic risk factors.
|One of the strengths of our study was that the analyses based on a large cross-sectional community based sample. Further we were able to investigate a broad range of anthropometric parameters and hormone levels and able to determine the independent association between endogenous hormones and metabolic parameters in multivariate analyses. Certain limitations should be kept in mind in interpreting our data. The cross-sectional design of the present study allows no conclusion regarding causality and a prospective cohort study is suggested to investigate the causality direction. Our study was conducted among a narrow age range (reproductive period) therefore our results are not be generalizable to other age or sex subjects.
|Our data suggests that extreme limits of hormonal levels could be associated with metabolic syndrome components and c ardiovascular risk. The results of the present study may be useful for better understanding of the path physiology of metabolic syndrome

Click here to listen to the TJMS tribute to Frank Wilson.
DUARTE, Calif. (AP) — Motown record producer and songwriter Frank Wilson, who worked with the Supremes, the Temptations and Marvin Gaye, has died in Southern California at 71.
Daughter Tracey Stein tells the Los Angeles Times that Wilson died of lung infection complications on Sept. 27 in a hospital in Duarte.
Wilson, who later became a minister, wrote or co-wrote the hits "Love Child" for Diana Ross and the Supremes, "Chained" for Marvin Gaye and "All I Need" for the Temptations.
After Eddie Kendricks left the Temptations, Wilson produced his 1973 hit "Keep On Truckin' (Part 1)."
Wilson also helped write "You've Made Me So Very Happy," a 1967 Top 40 single for Motown's Brenda Holloway that soon became an even bigger hit for Blood, Sweat and Tears.

One thought on "Motown Producer of Supremes, Temptations Dies"
I am a strong product of the 50's and 60's. I would be interested to know if you have a photo (file) of Mr. Wilson. I never knew him to see him and the songs that you just played i Tom's tribute to him were so dear to my heart. I think that he deserves a front cover picture. Thank you in advance for the info. We would not get it any other place.

text: Children Giving Matters: Kurn Hattin Provides Space For Kids By Deborah Schachter • Jun 28, 2014 Kurn Hattin Homes for Children was established in 1894 for children whose families are not able to care for them. Lyssa Jackson was such a child, born to parents with mental illness. "I lived with my mother until I was about eight and at that point, I wasn't going to school very often. My mother was keeping me out of school because she was not feeling secure with my teachers because of her own internal issues." Empowering Kids At The Boys And Girls Club By Deborah Schachter • May 16, 2014 The Boys and Girls Club is more than a place to simply do homework or hang out with friends. Brittany Wheeler joined the Concord chapter four years ago, during her first year of high school. The club fosters a sense of community among the participants of its after-school program. As Wheeler says, it's a place where kids "can feel safe after school and not get into trouble." Providing Dental Health Care To Uninsured Kids By Deborah Schachter • Apr 12, 2014 Courtesy David Mulder via Flickr Creative Commons The Children's Dental Network offers preventive dental services in 27 schools in and around Derry, NH to children who wouldn't otherwise have access to those services. Jeanne Carroll and her husband are both college grads, and considered themselves "middle class;" they never thought they would have difficulty providing dental health care for their three children. Empowering Girls With Power Tools By Deborah Schachter • Mar 8, 2014 Cheryl Senter Girls at Work empowers girls by putting power tools in their hands, and teaching them how to use those tools. The girls build tables, sheds and bookshelves, but learn bigger lessons along the way. Hollie Brenton, 18, has worked with the program for ten years and says it has changed her life. Kids Culinary Arts Equips Children With Life-Skill By Deborah Schachter • Feb 22, 2014 Cheryl Senter Kids Culinary Arts teaches kids cooking and nutrition during after school programs, vacations and summer camps. The organization works in school districts and towns to get kids cooking and eating healthy foods. Matthew and Nicole Heiter, 11 and nine years old, have become experienced hands in the kitchen. Their mother, Lauren credits Kids Culinary Arts. Children Learn To Be Good Stewards Of The Great Bay By Deborah Schachter • Feb 1, 2014 Cheryl Senter The Great Bay Stewards work to preserve and protect the Great Bay estuary through education, land protection and research. Sharon Musselman, one of the educators, is recently a retired teacher who often brought her own classes here to explore this ecosystem. "I'm excited to be here at Great Bay Discover center," Musselman said. "I brought my first grade class to Great Bay for 15 years because it is such a great experience for first graders." Effects Of Spanking Kids Can Linger Into Adulthood, UNH Researcher Says By Brady Carlson • Jan 6, 2014 Dr. Murray Straus has studied the use of spanking and corporal punishment with children for decades, as a professor of sociology and founder and co-director of the Family Research Laboratory at the University of New Hampshire. He compares the research on spanking to studies on cigarettes – people use it because it seems right at the time, but that's because they can't see the long-term dangers. A Culture Of Coddling? By Laura Knoy • Nov 4, 2013 DanMcLean / Flickr Creative Commons School decisions banning dodge ball and tag have re-ignited a broader debate on whether we are over-protecting kids. We discuss the need for letting go and letting children grow. But others say the world has changed, and parental involvement is needed today. GUESTS: Lakes Region Community Services Draws Up Blueprints For Families Coping With Autism By Deborah Schachter, Lois Shea & Andrew Parrella • Oct 5, 2013 hepingting / Flickr Lakes Region Community Services helps children with autism and their families through their early intervention program and autism center. Christian Lapierre was 15 months old when his mom, Denise, realized something was wrong and called Lakes Region Community Services. Returning Adopted Children By Virginia Prescott • Sep 23, 2013 Anthony Kelly via flickr Creative Commons Adopting a child is for many people the culmination of a dream. But it takes work, and money – international adoptions can run from $15,000 to $40,000, and involve years of vetting and paperwork. Still, things don't always work out. A network of internet groups has become an underground market for advertising and discarding unwanted children – most of them adopted from abroad. The process is called "private re-homing," and it involves little or no government oversight. It's the topic of an 18-month investigation by Reuters. Megan Twohey is investigative reporter at Thomson Reuters, and among those who worked on the 5-part series and multimedia presentation called, "The Child Exchange." Empowering Girls With Power Tools By Deborah Schachter • Sep 7, 2013 Cheryl Senter Girls at Work empowers girls by putting power tools in their hands, and teaching them how to use those tools. The girls build tables, sheds and bookshelves, but learn bigger lessons along the way. Hollie Brenton, 18, has worked with the program for ten years and says it has changed her life. Are Foster Kids Better Off Without Families? By Virginia Prescott • Sep 5, 2013 loveiswritten via Flickr Creative Commons Statistically speaking, American foster children face a steep uphill battle. A 2010 study showed nearly 25 percent of foster care children end up homeless at some point after exiting the system, and teen girls in foster care were more likely to become pregnant than to get adopted. One fledgling foster care experiment has done away with the foster family system in favor of a mutually supportive group-home. The San Pasqual Academy is a $14 million dollar nonprofit based in San Diego that houses 180 foster kids. Natasha Vargas-Cooper is a freelance journalist who wrote about San Pasqual for Pacific Standard. Kids Culinary Arts Equips Children With Life-Skill By Deborah Schachter • Aug 24, 2013 Cheryl Senter Kids Culinary Arts teaches kids cooking and nutrition during after school programs, vacations and summer camps. The organization works in school districts and towns to get kids cooking and eating healthy foods. Matthew and Nicole Heiter, 11 and nine years old, have become experienced hands in the kitchen. Their mother, Lauren credits Kids Culinary Arts. LIFTing Street Kids By Virginia Prescott • Aug 12, 2013 Lift Street Kids Blog, Merhawi Wells-Bogue Before moving to New Hampshire, Merhawi Wells-Bogue earned his living on the streets of the Ethiopian city of Mekelle. Years later, while studying journalism at UNH, he went back and spoke with other street kids, often hearing stories of neglect and abuse. He's since graduated, and was awarded a grant from UNH to do research on similarly neglected children. He also launched LIFT Street Kids, an organization designed to help children living on the streets of Mekelle. He is raising money for a documentary film using the crowd-funding site Crowdwise. Merhawi was with us to talk about the many children either orphaned or abandoned and left to fend for themselves on the dusty streets of Mekelle. Acting Gets Upstaged At Winnipesaukee Playhouse By Deborah Schachter • Aug 10, 2013 Cheryl Senter When Kat Morris's eldest daughter asked to try out for a play at The Winnipesaukee Playhouse, she could not have guessed the effect community theater would have on her entire family. Children Learn To Be Good Stewards Of The Great Bay By Deborah Schachter • Aug 3, 2013 Cheryl Senter The Great Bay Stewards work to preserve and protect the Great Bay estuary through education, land protection and research. Sharon Musselman, one of the educators, is recently a retired teacher who often brought her own classes here to explore this ecosystem. "I'm excited to be here at Great Bay Discover center," Musselman said. "I brought my first grade class to Great Bay for 15 years because it is such a great experience for first graders." The Lack Of Diversity In Children's Books By Virginia Prescott • Aug 1, 2013 rbrucemontgomery via Flickr Creative Commons Children's books are delightful, colorful, and whimsical ways to introduce children to reading. Although parents may find it a wee bit annoying to repeat the same stories night after night, reading to kids is crucial to healthy childhood development and helps form their vision of a world outside of their own. A study released last year found that children's books are woefully under-representative of cultural diversity. Jason Boog is editor of the publishing website GalleyCat – he's working on a book about reading to kids, and has been keeping an eye on content for kids. Effects of "Sibling Aggression" On Kids Can Be Significant By Brady Carlson • Jun 19, 2013 meaganmakes via Flickr/Creative Commons - http://www.flickr.com/photos/meaganmakes/6980624734/in/photostream/ Siblings fight. Almost any family with children knows this- and yet what we know about the effects of that fighting may be changing. A new study from the University of New Hampshire shows that sibling aggression may leave deeper marks on children than we've previously understood. Getting Kids Outside To Appreciate Nature iStock Photo EarthTalk®E - The Environmental Magazine Dear EarthTalk: My kids just want to play videos games and watch TV all day. Do you have any tips for getting them outside to appreciate nature more?-- Sue Levinson, Bowie, MD Checking Up On Child Abuse In New Hampshire By Laura Knoy • Mar 18, 2013 d o l f i via Flickr Creative Commons A leading expert finds a large drop in these cases and suggests likely factors include improved prevention and treatment programs. But there are several ways to interpret these numbers, and in some cases, they don't match up with what child advocates see in the courts and elsewhere. We'll take a new look at this longstanding issue. Guests: The Great Toy Aisle Divide By Virginia Prescott • Dec 17, 2012 theloushe via Flickr Creative Commons If you have kids, odds are you're trying to track down at least one hard-to-find toy this holiday season. Those in the market for high-quality educational toys might have to look a little harder. The toy aisle divide between big chain stores and smaller, independent retailers is growing, and it may determine whether or not you're able to find the ideal gift for your child. Listen Listening... / 6:19 Word of Mouth 11.10.2012 By Virginia Prescott • Nov 10, 2012 Four alternative slices of American Life Part 1: Free-Range Kids! By Laura Knoy • Sep 28, 2012 We talk to the author of a new book who says that today's hovering, hyper-safety-conscious parents are doing their children no favors. In fact, she says, overprotective adults have created a generation of fragile kids who fall apart once they hit the real world. We'll examine why American childhood has become so restricted, and one mom's crusade to restore its freedoms. Lenore Skenazy is the keynote speaker at this year's N.H. Children in Nature Coalition conference, Oct. 4, at the Castleton Conference Center in Windham, NH. Zebra Crossings By Deborah Schachter • Jul 21, 2012 Zebra Crossings provides opportunities for kids with chronic health conditions to expand their experiences and grow their independence. Heather Hesse-Stromberg's eight-year-old daughter, Haiden, has asthma. Haiden: It's a chance for kids to do activities they don't usually get to do and it's a chance for kids to make new friends. A Windborne Clue To A Mysterious Childhood Disease At first, Deborah Kogan of New York says, she thought it would pass. Her 4-year-old son's fever had been on the rise for hours, and he was looking puffy. Kogan took Leo to the pediatrician, who thought it might be strep throat. It wasn't. A few days later, Leo "woke up, and he looked as if he was one of the characters in The Nutty Professor. His face ballooned about twice its normal size." She posted a photo of Leo on Facebook. That's when the crowdsourced diagnosis took shape. Tackling Youth Concussions Head-On By Laura Knoy • May 16, 2012 Roxboroughsports / Flickr/Creative Commons New research finds that younger athletes are more susceptible to head injury than once thought, take longer to recover, and are more at risk for suffering second concussions. Now, New Hampshire may join a growing list of states asking coaches and trainers to monitor these injuries more closely. We talk with experts on head trauma in youth sports. Guests: Doctors' Due Diligence: Measuring Kids' Blood Pressure By Patti Neighmond • May 14, 2012 There have been hints that the obesity epidemic's rise has slowed a bit among certain populations, but for the most part, it continues to dominate American health. One third of children and teenagers are now overweight or obese. And researchers forecast as many as half of our nation's population could be obese — not overweight but obese — by 2030. Children With Autism Are Often Targeted By Bullies By Jon Hamilton • Apr 23, 2012 Lots of kids get bullied. But kids with autism are especially vulnerable. A new survey by the Interactive Autism Network found that nearly two-thirds of children with autism spectrum disorders have been bullied at some point. And it found that these kids are three times as likely as typical kids to have been bullied in the past month. Swaddling and Shushing Help Soothe Babies After Vaccinations By Patti Neighmond • Apr 23, 2012 Imagine you're a happy baby, off with your folks to visit the doctor. "They're probably thinking, 'Oh hi everybody, hi!' and suddenly — boom! A shot," says John Harrington, a pediatrician in Norfolk, Va. Who wouldn't scream at that? But Harrington says that the same techniques used to soothe a fussy baby can also help an infant overcome the pain of vaccinations. Remembering they were fathers first By Virginia Prescott & • Apr 16, 2012 Photo by Jackie Finn-Irwin via Flickr Creative Commons We talk with NHPR's Dan Gorenstein about a new summer camp program being launched for kids of state prison inmates.

That works for me; I should be able to upload in about 3-4 hours. Unless someone says otherwise, I'll merge the "MinGW" directory's main branch (which I believe Cesar used to create the most recent release) into the MinGW-5_1 branch, then delete all files and subdirectories in "MinGW" in the main branch and add my own NSIS-based tree. Then I'll add my current Synaptic-like code in "mingw-get" in the main branch. > I don't know if the wxWidgets based code I put together for a Synaptic > like UI is of interest?

Laying out the UI is about as far as I've gotten on the new design on my end, as well. All of the GUI layers I evaluated (wxWidgets among them) added a megabyte or more to the final executable size (with -Os and -s), so I decided to go with pure CRT+Win32 in C and C++ for now -- the final product would probably be in the 200KB range. I will certainly use your code for inspiration. -John E.
