Alliance for Free Choice in EducationMorristown, New Jersey firstname.lastname@example.com
News Release – January 5, 2017 - Contact: Israel Teitelbaum
Grass roots activists devoted to liberty and equal opportunity are joining forces to raise a clarion call inviting Americans in all 435 legislative districts to call on Congress (202-224-3121) to restore liberty by passing the Education Freedom Accounts Act (S.2455/H.R.4426). "This will empower parents in the District of Columbia to provide their children a quality education that matches their needs, talents and faith, which is their divine, human and civil right. This will also serve as a model and trailblazer for all 50 states on how to render our educational system consistent with our Constitution and our free enterprise system, vastly improving the quality of education and saving taxpayers countless billions of dollars."
A major drive for passage of school choice legislation in Congress and all 50 states is being planned for National School Choice Week, January 22-28, which is being celebrated at over 16,000 events in all 50 states. Schools and citizen groups that seek assistance in organizing may contact National School Choice Week headquarters at http://schoolchoiceweek.com/.
David White of Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), and Israel Teitelbaum of Alliance for Free Choice in Education, have been sending out messages all across the country explaining that passage of the Education Freedom Accounts Act will tear down the barrier that stands in the way of making America great again. "America became great in 1776 when our Founders sacrificed their lives and livelihoods to establish a nation founded on Liberty. Tragically, a century of revisions to the Constitution have drastically undermined the 'Blessings of Liberty,' and millions of our nation's children are now financially compelled to attend schools that condemn them to a life of misery. The damage this brings upon all society is incalculable."
The Education Freedom Accounts Act is the first universal school choice bill in Congress since the rise of the Progressive Movement. Chief sponsor of the bill is Senator Ted Cruz, the first in Congress to respond enthusiastically to the efforts of the Alliance. His staff worked with the Alliance for Free Choice in Education to write the bill, based on a comprehensive study of the nation's many school choice pilot programs, which was published in the winter 2015 edition of National Affairs entitled The Next Step in School Choice. Unlike any of the nation's pilot programs, the school choice bill now before Congress is universal and follows the advice of the expert, the late, great economics Professor Milton Friedman, which calls for education to be transformed from top-down to bottom-up, consistent with our free enterprise system.
In a phone call Teitelbaum placed to Radio WOR regarding this matter, talk show host Mark Simone refused to allow the phone number of Congress to be given, claiming that no one would call. White commented on this: "There are still many who deny the massive grass roots movement that shocked most political pundits following this 2016 election, and believe the outcome was some sort of fluke. We are convinced that an informed public will do what needs to be done to make America great again. Undoubtedly, restoring liberty in our nation's capital in 2017 will accomplish no less than liberty did in 1776, when the thirteen original colonies quickly became the greatest, most innovative 'united nation' in the history of civilization."
Teitelbaum has been calling on private and religious school directors and principles to inform their parents of this opportunity for universal school choice. "Passage of this bill in Congress will not only establish universal school choice in our nation's capital, it will also exert enormous pressure on state legislatures all across the country to pass similar legislation and broaden educational opportunities for all. Despite numerous promises by the Trump campaign, Republicans are refusing to support universal school choice. In the words of Congressman Leonard Lance (NJ-7), 'Congress won't support it because it's a Cruz bill.' Major action is needed by concerned citizens to overcome the resistance that has been 100 years in the making."

School Vouchers Turn 50 But the Fight is Just Beginning by Milton Friedman
Elementary and secondary education is, on one level, an industry like all others, with schools producing a service that is consumed by the nation's children. On another level, elementary and secondary education is unique, an industry on which the whole of society rests. As I wrote in 1955, "a stable and democratic society is impossible without a minimum degree of literacy and knowledge on the part of most citizens and without widespread acceptance of some common set of values." That is why government plays such a major role in schooling. It compels attendance in school. Taxpayers pay the bulk of the costs of schooling. Government owns and operates most of the schools.Government ownership and operation of schools alter fundamentally the way the industry is organized. In most industries, consumers are free to buy the product from anyone who offers it for sale, at a price mutually agreed on. In the process, consumers determine how much is produced and by whom and producers have an incentive to satisfy their customers. These competitive private industries are organized from the bottom up. They have been responsible for truly remarkable economic growth, improvements in products and increased efficiency in production.In elementary and secondary education, government decides what is to be produced and who is to consume its products, generally assigning students to schools by their residence. The only recourse for dissatisfied parents is through political channels, changing their residence or forswearing the government subsidy and paying for their children's schooling twice, once in taxes and once in tuition. Parents of more than 10 percent of all students, who go to private schools or are schooled at home, have adopted this final recourse. In short, this industry is organized from the top down.Performance differs as much as organization. In sharp contrast to other major industries, there has been little, no or even negative improvement in the product. Children are taught the way they have been for centuries. Functional literacy is very likely lower than it was a century ago. And we spend more per student, in real dollars corrected for inflation, than we ever have before and more than any other country does now. Top-down organization works no better in the United States than it did in the Soviet Union or East Germany.The prescription is clear. Change the organization of elementary and secondary schooling from top-down to bottom-up. Convert to a system in which parents choose the schools their children attend—or, more broadly, the educational services their children receive, whether in a brick-and-mortar school or on DVDs or over the Internet or whatever alternative the ingenuity of man can conceive. Parents would pay for educational services with whatever subsidy they receive from the government plus whatever sum they want to add out of their own resources. Producers would be free to enter or leave the industry and would compete to attract students. As in other industries, such a competitive free market would lead to improvements in quality and reductions in cost. The problem is how to get from here to there. That is where vouchers come in. They offer a means for a gradual transition from top-down to bottom-up. However, not just any voucher program will do. In particular, the kind of voucher programs that have been enacted so far will not. Almost all of them have been limited, directly or indirectly, to low-income families and some have not permitted parents to add on to the voucher, thereby limiting the tuition that can be charged. They are what I have called charity vouchers, not educational vouchers. They have served their limited purpose well. The families that received them have benefited; the educational performance of the voucher schools has been better than of the government schools from which the voucher students came. And the educational performance of those government schools has improved. Even if such vouchers were much more widespread than they are now, they could not provide the kind of market needed to stimulate innovative experimentation. It is as if when automobiles or television were in their infancy the government had prohibited charging more than a very low price. One function played by the rich is to finance innovation. They bought the initial cars and TVs at high prices and thereby supported production while the cost was being brought down, until what started out as a luxury good for the rich became a necessity for the poor.An educational voucher of reasonable size, though less than the current government spending per student, that was available to all students regardless of income or race or religion and that did not prohibit add-ons or impose detailed regulations on start-up service providers would end up helping the poor more than a charity voucher — not instantly, but after a brief period as competition did its work. Just as the breakup of the Ma Bell monopoly led to a revolution in communications, a breakup of the school monopoly would lead to a revolution in schooling. There has been some progress toward charity vouchers but almost none toward educational vouchers. The reason, I believe, is that centralization, bureaucratization and unionization have enabled teachers' union leaders and educational administrators to gain effective control of government elementary and secondary schools. The union leaders and educational administrators rightly regard extended parental choice through vouchers and tax-funded scholarships as the major threat to their monopolistic control. So far, they have been extremely successful in blocking any significant change in the structure of elementary and secondary education in the United States. The teachers' unions have used their large income (estimated at more than $1.5 billion – that's billion not million) and large membership to gain a major role in the Democratic Party. Teacher union delegates have been a significant fraction of all delegates to Democratic political conventions. They have made opposition to vouchers a key plank in the party's mantra. The unions also have succeeded in persuading most teachers that it is in their self-interest to retain the current dysfunctional system.Both these pillars of power rest on shaky ground. The Democratic Party professes, in the words of Sen. Edward Kennedy, "to give voice to the voiceless." But the "voiceless," among whom are surely the residents of low-income areas in big cities, are clearly the main victims of the present schooling system and would be major beneficiaries of a more competitive educational system. Every poll shows them to be strongly in favor of vouchers, yet their political leaders hew to the party line rather than giving voice to the educational needs of the voiceless.Similarly, teachers in government schools, especially the more competent ones, would be among the major beneficiaries of a transition to an educational system dominated by competition and choice. Under the present system, not much more than half of the money spent on government schools goes to teachers in the classroom. The rest goes to administrators, advisors, consultants and the whole paraphernalia of non-teaching bureaucrats. In private schools, the bulk of the spending ends up in the classroom. Equally important, teaching conditions are more attractive in private schools, as judged by the higher turnover in government schools despite higher average pay.Such shaky foundations cannot indefinitely support a system that is so clearly defective, that is inconsistent with the self-image of the Democratic Party and that is against the self-interest of most teachers in government schools. I have been saying this for some years now and so far I have been wrong. However, I am not discouraged. Public support for educational vouchers is growing. More and more states are considering proposals for vouchers or tax-funded scholarships. Pressure is building behind each of the 50 dams erected by the special interests. Most major public policy revolutions come only after a lengthy build-up of support. But when the break comes, what had been politically impossible quickly becomes politically inevitable.

With recent advances in cosmetic dental technology, what was once considered impossible can now be performed routinely. We now have the means and the know-how to treat such conditions as discolored, crooked, and missing teeth - often in one or two visits to a cosmetic dentist, and often without discomfort.
Porcelain veneers have now become a standard part of cosmetic dentistry. These veneers are thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front teeth. Using porcelain veneers, we can change the shape, color and length of your teeth in only two visits - instant orthodontics!
Dental bonding is a widely used phrase that describes how tooth-colored fillings are placed. Using dental bonding, we can eliminate discolored areas, fill in gaps, and also build back areas of gum recession.
Composite fillings (tooth-colored fillings) can now be placed in the back molar areas when tooth decay is detected. These fillings can be used instead of amalgam (silver) fillings and are virtually invisible. Dentists have fun placing composite fillings and patients like them, too.
Teeth whitening is a great treatment for generalized yellow or stained teeth. With custom-fabricated tooth bleaching trays, the bleaching procedure can be done at home at your own convenience. The process generally takes about four to six weeks and the results are very impressive.
With the treatment options available today, it's possible to have the smile you've always wanted. Let your dentist know if you're interested in learning more about these advances in cosmetic dentistry.
Do you have a weakened, discolored or broken tooth, or teeth, you wish could be improved without having them reduced in size and replaced with dental crowns? Until quite recently, a crown was your only alternative. But not any more. Now that tooth or teeth can be saved and looking fabulous with elegant, life-like porcelain veneers.
Dental veneers are less expensive than crowns, easier on the patient, and relatively quick to place. You could call them "instant orthodontics."
And forget about those thick, heavy, "clunky" tooth veneers of five to ten years ago. Today's dental veneers are ultra-thin and very light, bonded to just the front of the tooth. Cosmetically and technologically speaking, there's no comparison. You have to see them to believe them.
This type of cosmetic dentistry is an inexpensive, simple way to hide a multitude of "Smile Sins." It is easy to improve the look and translucence of teeth stained by early tetracycline use, or years of coffee and tea stains. A minor chip or irregularity can be corrected in a flash with a veneer. No pain, no strain, nothing but the perfect tooth restoration you've always wanted.
Misshapen or overlapping front teeth? By removing just a tiny fraction of enamel and placing tooth veneers, your front teeth can be contoured or straightened. Best of all, a single office visit to a cosmetic dental professional usually does the trick.
The prosthodontics procedures available today are high-tech and versatile. Call your cosmetic dentist for a consultation, and see if a dental makeover can give you a whole new smile!

Laura stood with Donald in the vestibule. She waited patiently while her mother and Mildred were shown to their seats. Then the music began and then she watched as the wedding party walked past her and down the aisle. First Mindy and Danny as junior bridesmaid and groomsman. Then Monroe escorted Frances down the aisle. Laurie Beth followed them, strewing white rose petals along the runner.
The wedding march began and Laura let out a long sigh as Donald pulled her close.
"This is it, Kiddo," he whispered in her ear. "Wanna back out?"
"Not a chance," she said, smiling.
When the doors opened, Laura looked out at the congregation. On her side were her family, the girls from Four East and their husbands, Bernice, Murphy and so many more of her friends and acquaintances.
As she looked over at Remington's side, she couldn't help but smile. Not only were there a collective of dignitaries like the police commissioner and Mayor Bradley, but a collection of Mr. Steele's friends and acquaintances. They were quite the rogue's gallery… George Mulch, Jackie Crawford, Weasel, Thelma from the bowling alley. She found that she was even pleased to see Felicia there; she knew it would mean a lot to Remington. She was sad that Daniel wasn't there, but happy that Remington had Monroe to stand beside him in Daniel's stead.
Finally, she looked up and locked eyes with him as everyone else disappeared. She felt like she was floating as she walked toward him. It seemed like an eternity before they reached the altar and Donald placed her hand in Remington's.
She wanted to giggle as she looked up into Remington's beautiful baby blue eyes. This was really happening. She was really marrying Remington Steele.
Remington let out the breath he'd been holding since the door opened and he saw his bride. She was beyond beautiful in an exquisite gown of ivory Irish lace. The dress was full, with an off the shoulder neckline, but he couldn't take his eyes off her beautiful face. She was smiling brightly and he could tell she was happy and as excited as he was.
He held Laura's hand tightly as they turned to face the minister.
"Ladies and Gentlemen," he said, "we are gathered here today to witness and bless the joining of this man and this woman in the bonds of holy matrimony…."
Remington tried to pay attention to Reverend Douglas as he continued with the ceremony. He wanted to remember every moment of it, but all he could think about was the incredibly beautiful woman at his side and the fact that she was in the process of becoming his wife.
"Remington, do you take Laura for your lawful wedded wife, to live in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto her for as long as you both shall live?"
"Of course I do," he responded with a smile.
"Laura, do you take Remington for your lawful wedded husband, to live in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort and cherish him from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto him for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," she said solemnly, but with a smile.
Reverend Douglas directed Remington and Laura to sit on a bench at the side of the altar while he explained the lighting of the Unity candle. He blessed the candles and then they all watched as Abigail and Mildred lit the candles on both sides of the Unity candle, and then they each walked over and kissed Remington and Laura before returning to their seats. The happy couple then walked over and completed the candle ceremony before returning to their place at the altar.
Reverend Douglas led them in reciting their vows and then asked for the rings. Monroe stepped up and handed them to him.
The minister held up Laura's ring.
"May this ring be blessed so he who gives it and she who wears it may abide in peace, and continue in love until life's end."
He handed the ring to Remington, who placed it on Laura's finger.
"With this ring," he said. "I thee wed. Wear it as a symbol of our vow, my eternal faith and our undying love. With all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you in the name of God."
The reverend then blessed Remington's ring and Laura placed it on his finger. She repeated the words that her beloved had said only moments before.
"With this ring," she said. "I thee wed. Wear it as a symbol of our vow, my eternal faith and our undying love. With all that I am, and all that I have, I honor you in the name of God."
Eternal faith, she thought. That was one she was going to have to work on. She knew they were well on their way. She listened as Reverend Douglas continued the ceremony.
"May this couple be prepared to continue to give, be able to forgive and experience more and more joy with each passing day, with each passing year. Remington and Laura are now beginning their married life together; we hope that they may have loving assistance from their family, the constant support of friends, and a long life with good health and everlasting love. In so much as Remington and Laura have consented to live forever together in wedlock, and have witnessed the same before this company, having given and pledged their troth, each to the other, and having declared same by the giving and receiving of rings, by the power vested in me by the Holy Church and the State of California, I now pronounce that they are husband and wife. Those whom God has joined together, let no one put asunder."
Remington and Laura smiled as they stared into each other's eyes.
"You may now seal the promises you have made with each other with a kiss," the minister said.
Wasting no time, Remington took his bride in his arms for a heart-stopping kiss. As the kiss ended, their friends and family were cheering and Reverend Douglas said the words that Remington had longed to hear…
"May I be the first to introduce to you, Mr. and Mrs. Remington Steele."
"You know," Laura said as she snuggled up to her husband in the back of the limo, "I didn't expect to feel different, but I do."
"Different?" Remington asked.
"Being really married," she said with a smile. "I mean, I already considered us married, but now… knowing it's for real, it's official… it feels different somehow."
"Good different?" Remington asked, as he placed a gentle kiss on her temple.
"Oh yes, Mr. Steele," she said. "Very good. It just feels right somehow."
"I know what you mean," he said. "Do you think they'd miss us if we didn't show up at the reception?" he asked with a grin.
"I think they might," she answered. "But I might be willing to risk it." She leaned in to him and kissed him deeply.
"Careful, Mrs. Steele,' he said, as the kiss ended. "You may have to put more than your money where your mouth is." He leaned in to kiss her again.
Just then, the phone rang.
"Steele here," Remington said into the phone.
"Chief, where are you?" Mildred asked. "The natives are getting restless."
Remington looked down at his watch. The photos at the church had taken longer than they thought, but he wanted to make sure Laura had everything she wanted for the perfect wedding album.
"We're on our way, Mildred," he said as Laura laughed. "The photos took longer than we thought. We'll be there in a few minutes. Why don't you tell Claude to go ahead and have dinner served?"
"No, no," Mildred said. "We'll wait for you. Just tell Fred to hurry."
When they walked into the banquet hall, the first thing Laura noticed was the bandstand set up for a full band. She found that quite strange since they hadn't found a band they liked and decided to hire a DJ. The next thing she noticed was Bernice talking with two of men on the stage. One of the men pointed to Remington and Laura and Bernice took the mic.
"Ladies and Gentlemen," she said. "Laura and Remington Steele."
As their guests cheered, the Steeles made their way to the head table. Dinner was served as the band played soft instrumental music.
"I thought we hired a DJ," Remington whispered into his wife's ear.
"We did," Laura answered.
Sporadically throughout the meal, toasts were made and photos were taken. Soon, the dishes were cleared and it was time for dancing. Once again, Bernice took the mic.
"Hi everyone," she said as the crowd began to quiet down and pay attention. "I could stand up here and give a flowery speech about my dear friend Laura and the scoundrel who stole her heart, but I'm sure you'd rather hear some great music. So, it is my distinct pleasure to introduce to you The Ryley Brothers Band, featuring Eddie and Devan Ryley."
As the band again took the stage, Bernice made her way to Remington and Laura.
"Eddie?" Laura asked. "What's going on?"
"Well," Bernice said, "Remember that phone call at the rehearsal dinner last night? You two ditched before Mildred came back with the message. Your DJ cancelled and Mildred was in a panic. We didn't have much time to find a replacement, so I made a few calls and it worked out for the boys to come down here before they go up to Seattle."
"Oh, Bernice," Laura said. "Thank you so much. And thank Eddie for us, too. No, I want to do that myself."
"You'll get the chance," she said as the music changed and the band began playing Marry Young and Eddie called for them to come out on the dance floor.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, join me in welcoming our happy couple to the dance floor. Sharing their first dance as husband and wife, Laura and Remington Steele."
Remington held his wife close as they swayed to the melody of the Tony Bennett classic. He savored having her in his arms as they moved in perfect harmony. He couldn't help thinking of their bodies moving together in perfect time, and suddenly he couldn't wait for the evening to be over so he could have her alone again.
After they had cut the cake, Remington was talking with Monroe and Laura took the opportunity to sneak off to speak with Bernice.
"Thanks again, Bernice," she said. "I can't believe Eddie and Devan did this for us. They're so good!"
"Yeah," Bernice said, smiling with pride. "They are."
"Listen," Laura said. "There's just one thing. I had given a special request to the DJ and I'm pretty sure Remington did, too…"
"No problem," Bernice said. "It's already taken care of." She looked up to see her husband nodding in her direction. "In fact, it's time for your song right now. Go get your husband." Bernice winked at Laura and then made her way to the stage.
"Hello again, everyone," she said as she took the mic. "We all know that Laura and Remington are not your typical couple. And they rarely do things that one would expect. That's what keeps things new and exciting, I guess," she said as the crowd laughed along with her. "Anyway, Laura has requested a special song to be played for her husband, and since my husband would feel a little awkward singing it, I'm gonna give it a shot. Skeeziks, this is for you… from your lovely bride."
Laura was shocked. She had no idea Bernice could even sing, let alone do it so well. As her friend began to sing, Laura was amazed at just how much she sounded like Carole King.
Lookin' out on the morning
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you,
life was so unkind
But your love was the key to my peace of mind
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like
A natural woman
When my soul was in the
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of
what I'm living for
'Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like
A natural woman
Oh, baby, what you've done to
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me feel so alive
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like
A natural woman
"I love you," Laura whispered into her husband's ear as he held her close. She knew he understood why she'd chosen this song. She was lost before she met him and she hadn't even known it. It was his love that allowed her to be free and to be the woman that she truly was… the one she'd kept hidden for so long… the one she'd been afraid of. She no longer had anything to fear because she knew she was loved and accepted just the way she was.
The Steeles spent most of the evening on the dance floor, wrapped in each other's arms and oblivious to those around them. As wonderful as the wedding and the reception had been, Remington could think of little more than getting Laura out of there so that he could let her in on her next surprise. He was startled from his reverie as Eddie once again called them to the dance floor.
They had the ceremonial tossing of the garter, which landed smack into George Mulch's drink, and the bouquet. It was looking pretty certain that Mildred would end up with that prize, but at the last minute, it slipped from her hand and into Felicia's.
The band took a break and the Steeles sat down to have a glass of champagne with the Ryleys.
"Eddie," Laura said. "Thank you so much for this. I just picked up your new album and we were hoping to catch your show at the Hollywood Bowl next month. I can't believe that you guys are actually playing our wedding!"
"Well," he said, "it worked out that we were available. You've been such a good friend to Bernice over the years; it was the least I could do. And we're having a great time. You guys are a great crowd."
"Thanks," Laura said with a laugh. "That's good, I guess."
Bernice excused herself to the powder room and dragged Laura along with her. While they were gone, their husband's put their heads together. When they emerged from the restroom, the band was back on stage.
"I know the bride and groom are anxious to get out of here and get on with their honeymoon plans," Eddie said from the stage. "We do have another special dedication. This one from Remington to Laura."
The band began to play and this time Devan took the mic, giving his own spin to the James Taylor favorite.
sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
needed the shelter of someone's arms and there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
and there you were
sweet love and devotion
deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
close my eyes at night,
wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore,
everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
you brightened up for me all of my days How sweet it is to be loved by you
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
You were better for me than I was for myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby
sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Laura was beaming as she and Remington stood off to the side of the dance floor. The song said so much without being sappy or overly sentimental. That was her husband; romantic, yet playful. She was looking forward to a lifetime of moments like this.
"Let's get out of here," Remington whispered in her ear. "We're going to miss our plane."
"Our plane?" she asked, turning in his arms. "Remington, we've already had our honeymoon."
"I know," he said, "but we can't just go home on our wedding night. I promise, Mrs. Steele, I'll have you back in the office bright and early on Monday morning."
"Where are we going?" she asked.
"San Francisco," he said. "A weekend at the Mark Hopkins… in the honeymoon suite. Think of it Laura, dinner at Marty's restaurant… dancing at the Top of the Mark…"
"With no rogue cops on our tails?" she said. "Sounds heavenly."
"Oh, it will be, Mrs. Steele," he said. "And the only one after your lovely tail will be me."
"You're on, Mr. Steele," she said, and they sealed the deal with a passionate kiss.
The end.

Zombie retailers—companies that are living on the edge of bankruptcy—such as Sears Holding Corp. (SHLD), Payless Shoesource Inc. and J.Crew Group, Inc. are undermining the margins of healthier companies such as Macy's Inc. (M) by keeping significant amounts of uncompetitive, brick-and-mortar capacity alive while more traditional retailers struggle with their online competitors, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The fraction of retailers whose debt Moody's Investors Service has rated as either speculative or worse—currently standing at 13.5% of the retailers it rates—has surged since the end of 2011, when it stood at 5.6%, and is currently nearing the figure of 16% reached during the financial crisis, the Journal reported.
A Republican proposal to tax imports could make the situation worse, according to CNBC. Stephen Sadove, who is on the board of the National Retail Federation, described this potential policy as "the biggest threat" that retailers have seen in years during a CNBC interview. The retail industry could also suffer should the United States pull out of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). (For related reading, see also: NAFTA's Winners And Losers.)
Retailers on Life Support
Amid these treacherous conditions, some companies have been harnessing creative financing techniques, for example taking part in distressed-debt exchanges, the Journal reported. Investors, who take a haircut by agreeing to these exchanges, have simply refused to throw in the towel in some cases. Many of them are holding onto hope that the retail industry is suffering not as a result of secular decline, but because of more temporary factors.
By enabling troubled retailers, investors are contributing to the oversupply of brick-and-mortar locations that have been hurting the margins of stronger retailers such as Sears, according to the Journal.
Is This Only the Beginning?
While a large number of more traditional retail stores have been impacted by electronic commerce (e-commerce), the widespread impact that e-commerce has had thus far may only be the beginning, Tenpao Lee, interim dean and professor of economics at Niagara University, told Investopedia in an interview. He noted that while Amazon.com, Inc.'s (AMZN) sales represent a small fraction of Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s (WMT) sales, Amazon could easily enjoy robust sales growth going forward.
Past that, Lee offered some broader trends. While 20% of retail sales are currently online and 80% take place through brick-and-mortar stores, this ratio could soon change to 40-60.
As for which large retailers suffer the most as online retail transactions proliferate, he specifically singled out Ralph Lauren Corp. (RL) and Michael Kors Holdings Ltd. (KORS). Lee emphasized that these luxury retailers can only reduce their price so much in the face of competition if they want to stay true to their brand. He said that in the current global economy, businesses are having a harder time distinguishing themselves. (For more, see also: Luxury Brand Retailers Face Strong Headwinds.)

Review for Don Massey Collision Center
Ryan E. on 03/12/2012
Spoke with Holland. Holland said it took twice as long as expected to get her vehicle back. Also, she was the one who pursued getting updates regarding the status of her vehicle. It was supposed to be done in 4 to 5 days. Instead, it took 13 days due to finding more problems with her vehicle. More damage was found than what the estimate told. Due to all of the problems she would not recommend them. Overall, she suggests to be more proactive with the communication.

Subscribe to receive our newsletter containing the latest news, special offers, details of new releases and special events happening at Lerida Estate.
Media Release: Friday 25th May 2012
The Lerida Estate 2009 Shiraz Viognier was launched today by the Deputy Chief Minister of the ACT, Mr Andrew Barr at the Hyatt Hotel in Canberra.
The launch coincided with the announcement in London of the winners at the 2012 International Wine Challenge (one of the world's biggest wine shows), and the Lerida Estate 2009 Shiraz Viognier was honoured with a prestigious Gold Medal and is now in the running for the Trophy for the Shiraz Class to be presented in London on 20 June 2012.
This award comes on top of 9 other Gold Medals (or equivalent) this wine has received, including 'Top Gold' in the Shiraz Viognier class at the Dan Murphy's National Wine Show of Australia in December 2011 and being rated as one of three of the 'Top 2009 Shiraz' wines in Australia at the recent 2012 Winewise Championship by three prominent Australian wine judges.
At today's launch, Andrew Barr described the wine's success as "a win not only for Lerida Estate but a win for the Canberra District wine region. What an international gold medal confirms is that Canberra District fruit and its winemakers can make world-class wines".
According to Anne Caine, owner (with her husband Jim Lumbers) of Lerida Estate and current President of the Canberra District Wine Industry Association, "While the Canberra District is already known for Shiraz made from grapes grown in Murrumbateman, it is now clear that fruit grown on the slopes of the Cullerin Range overlooking Lake George can also make outstanding wines."
Lerida Estate's 2008 'Josephine' Pinot Noir also received a Commendation at the 2012 International Wine Challenge. In addition to making some of the best Shiraz Viognier and Pinot Noir wines in Australia, Lerida Estate is also gaining increasing recognition for its superb Botrytis Pinot Gris dessert wine. Lerida Estate won a total of 49 medals (or medal equivalents) across the range of wines it entered into wine shows last year.
Lerida Estate 2009 Shiraz Viognier – RRP $69.50
Lerida Estate wines are available at the Lerida Estate Cellar Door or via the online store at www.leridaestate.com.au. They are also stocked in ACT, Qld, NSW and Vic at Vintage Cellars and good independent liquor stores and restaurants. Distributed by Vino Bambino (VIC), Macro Vintner Partners (NSW and QLD) and Lerida Estate (ACT).

Who drinks The Wolftrap White "matured and bottled" by Boekenhoutskloof? The 2014 is a blend of 48% Viognier, 41% Chenin Blanc and 11% Grenache Blanc and has an approximate retail price of R40 a bottle. It shows yellow fruit, a subtle earthiness and a slight yeasty character. Rich, relatively thick textured and more oxidative than you might expect.
It's actually pretty smart but not as easy to understand as entry-level Sauvingnon Blanc nor does it sell on rarity like some of the other more exotic blends. That such a wine exists at all is reason for celebration for those of us who desire a wine market less ordinary.
Winemag rating: 87/100.
Tagged Boekenhoutskloof, The Wolftrap
I have for a long time now been enjoying the white Wolftrap, as it is such brilliant wine for the price. The red Wolftrap is, in my humble opinion, also excellent value for a very tasty shiraz blend. Long may Boekenhoutskloof bless us with such lovely wines!!

Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva Trailer (2009)
"The game solved by over 800 million people is finally being made into a movie!" 01 December 2009 Animated, Family, Foreign 100 mins
Spinning off from the popular Professor Layton puzzle games, this movie brings Layton and his trusty assistant Luke to the big screen to allow fans to enjoy more of the same. At the beginning of the film Layton receives a letter from the famed opera singer, Jenice Kaitly, inviting them to see her newest performance. She also asks Layton, Luke, and Remi for assistance in a mystery, saying her friend Melina went missing one year ago but returned later as a seven year old girl saying she had found the secret of eternal life. Naturally, the case fascinates Layton and his apprentices, so they head to the Crown Petone opera house. When they arrive, something is very strange: the pianist, Ozro Vislar talks of a game, and the winner will win the "eternal life." It is up to Layton, Luke, and Remi to solve the mystery of the Eternal Diva before it is too late.

Ryan Gosling Sought After for 'Doctor Strange' and 'Suicide Squad'
by Ethan Anderton
October 15, 2014
Source: THR
The last couple days have brought some big news for fans of both Marvel and DC Comics movies, and now one actor in particular has drawn the attention of both sides. THR reports Ryan Gosling, a gifted actor who has strayed away from big franchises and blockbusters, is currently being courted for two big comic book roles. First, Marvel Studios has met with the actor to take the title role of Doctor Strange, joining names like Ewan McGregor and more who are also in the running. Since Gosling is just one of many names, and doesn't seem all that interested in these kind of films, don't hold your breath, but it's possible. Read on!
On the other hand, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment wait to get Gosling on board for Suicide Squad, the project that was just dated today for release in August of 2016. The film follows a group of super villains trying to redeem themselves by working for the government as a sort of disavowed Impossible Mission Force. But Gosling isn't the big name the studio is trying to wrangle as Will Smith, Tom Hardy and Margot Robbie are also wanted for roles in the ensemble action film. Those seem like tall orders, especially for an ensemble film, and even more especially after Marvel proved with Guardians of the Galaxy that you don't need big stars to make an ensemble like that work.
But if neither of those films seem appealing to Gosling, the trade also notes that Summit Entertainment is trying to get Gosling to lead their adaptation of The Secret Life of Houdini: The Making of America's First Superhero. Johnny Depp was most recently linked to the role in May, but with production on Pirates of the Caribbean 5 beginning in February, that doesn't really jive with the timetable Summit has to get the film off the ground, so they're looking for a new lead. Could any of these movies tickle Gosling's fancy? The actor has a problem with the commitment that comes with franchise films, which is why he turned down Green Lantern and the role went to Reynolds. Anyway, all of these projects should have more solid casting news coming up soon, so we'll keep you posted.

Organ transplant advocates are becoming increasingly aggressive in their efforts to procure hearts, livers, kidneys and other organs in the hope of saving more of the thousands of desperate Americans who die languishing on waiting lists. For some doctors, nurses and medical ethicists, it represents their worst fear -- the extreme end of a spectrum of practices that have been raising alarm in hospital wards, emergency rooms and intensive care units around the country.
- Organ-donation agencies argue that they walk a careful line between advocating effectively for those who need transplants and violating ethical boundaries meticulously calibrated to protect dying patients and their families.
- Even the critics agree that most organ-donation advocates are acutely sensitive to ethical concerns, help save many lives and enable families to find solace in their losses; but they worry that disturbing lapses may be increasingly common.
How did this policy evolve?
- The more aggressive drive for organ donations grew out of a federal campaign known as the Breakthrough Collaborative, which the Department of Health and Human Services launched in 2003.
- The project was designed to boost the number of organs retrieved by the nation's 58 organ-procurement organizations, or OPOs.
- These private, nonprofit government-authorized entities deploy nurses, social workers and other specialists to identify potential donors, obtain consent from families, and work with doctors and nurses to recover as many organs as possible.
"The greatest fear the public has when it comes to organ donation is their loved one will not receive aggressive treatment and will wind up having their death hastened because of the zeal people have to get organs," said Arthur Caplan, a University of Pennsylvania bioethicist." You create a tremendous fear on the part of the public whenever any crossing of that line takes place."
Source: Rob Stein, "New Zeal in Organ Procurement Raises Fears; Donation Groups Say They Walk a Fine Line, but Critics See Potential for Abuses," Washington Post, September 13, 2007.

Our ambassador of hoops .. and more?
The ludicrous, but true, premise of Argo has nothing on this: Dennis Rodman is now in North Korea. Is he really there for basketball diplomacy, setting up a kids clinic with members of the Harlem Globetrotters? Is it really for a production that will appear on HBO in the spring?
Or is that just a cover while Rodman puts his real skills toward stopping North Korea's nuclear program and missile tests?
Hey, stranger things have happ . . . well, no, they haven't.
But Rodman really is there now, reportedly having arrived in Pyongyang, with three Globetrotters, making his presence felt in a country with a seriously tense relationship with the U.S. He also is meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who's a Michael Jordan fan.
"I'm not a politician," Rodman wrote on Twitter. "Kim Jung [sic] Un & North Korean people are basketball fans. I love everyone. Period. End of story."
In Argo, a fake movie-making operation was set up to help people who had escaped from the U.S. Embassy takeover in Iran to get out of the country. In this case, Rodman and the Globetrotters were sent by Vice media, a New York TV production company, for the HBO thing.
"Is sending the Harlem Globetrotters and Dennis Rodman to (North Korea) strange?" Vice founder Shane Smith asked the Associated Press. "In a word, `Yes.' But finding common ground on the basketball court is a beautiful thing."
Rodman never found common ground, even in the NBA, even while he was winning titles and playing with Jordan. And I would like to sit here with a bunch of punch lines over the idea that Rodman will be teaching his style to those unsuspecting North Korean kids, but there's one problem with that:
When I was showing the game to my kid, now a middle schooler, I pulled out video of Rodman and taught him to play like the Worm. His totals the last three games: 16 minutes a game, two points, 22 boards, two cuts around the eye, one kick from an opponent to the calf, one elbow back to that kid's chest while officials weren't looking, one elbow from an opponent to his shoulder, one knee back to his . . . well.
And one coach saying, "I love watching him play. He's a beast under that basket."
I'm not proud of this.
That's a lie. Yes, I am.
For all of Rodman's antics and general goofiness, he is still one of the best defenders/rebounders in NBA history. Without a jump shot, he made $10 million a year, got into the Hall of Fame and married Carmen Electra.
Teaching your kid to be like Rodman is not teaching him to wear a wedding dress or cover himself in piercings and tattoos. It's not teaching him to throw cheap shots. It's teaching him that every coach wants a tall, athletic kid who fights for every rebound and every defensive stop.
It's about taking pride in doing all the dirty work and, yes, getting a little dirty at times doing it.
Anyway, there is no chance that any of those North Koreans kids will see Rodman that way. He won't be like that around them, and will only be for show.
The AP said it showed a picture of Rodman, piercings dangling from his lip and tattoos on his chest, to a North Korean, who said, "He looks like a monster!"
It's actually too bad that the Globetrotters are going to be overlooked on this. They have brought basketball diplomacy around the world for decades, and don't get credit for laying groundwork for the first Dream Team or Jordan. The Globetrotters say they've visited 122 countries in 87 years.
Well, that story has been around for years. Dennis Rodman on a diplomatic mission in North Korea? At the very least, I expect to see some North Korean teens copy his personal style just to drive their parents nuts.
Meanwhile, reports are that the White House made two secret visits to North Korea last year for diplomatic trips that failed.
Now, time to send in the heavy hitter.

On Saturday, February 11, 2017, CU students spent the day designing network based games and performing cyber analysis skills with Applied Trust.
The first ITP hackathon of 2017 was a combination of coding, network engineering and cyber security. The challenge for the students was to create an online game using a RaspberryPi that had to allow for play over the network while being secure. After 7 hours of coding the students then had to attack and defend their platforms for additional points in the competition.
Applied Trust(AT) a Security and Dev Ops firm headquartered in Boulder, CO sponsored the hackathon. AT brought engineers to help with the student projects and created challenges throughout the day for students to compete on. A great time was had by all who attended.

At Brunswick Park, we designed each of our pieces with the avid traveler in mind. In order to do this we had to talk to some "avid travelers" and over time have collected some pretty cool travel stories. Here's the first that we'd like to share with you...
Mark Bollman travels a ton.
The Babson College grad and founder of Newbury Street staple Ball and Buck is seemingly always on the move, whether it's San Francisco, Beijing or several weeks in Montana with nothing but a BMW dirtbike and whatever he can fit in a pack.
As glamorous as that sounds, traveling isn't always easy. But Bollman has created a brand in Ball and Buck that's so intertwined with who he is as a person, "work" is kind of a relative term. He doesn't so much "travel for work" as he "travels and works." They're one and the same.
"For Ball and Buck travel is about adaptability," Bollman told me. "As a Boston-based brand, it's natural to build and sell products that work well in New England's climate. Traveling, though, puts the products into environments that are very different to the New England norm. From sub-zero temperatures to near 100% humidity, we are pushed to build products that work well on the extremes of the climate scale just as well as they do in our normal zone."
It's genius if you think about: Years ago, fresh out of college, Bollman had the foresight to create a brand that perfectly fits his lifestyle. For most entrepreneurs, it can be the other way around.
"Taking into account the experiences that both our team and our customers have wearing and using our products, we are able to fortify and upgrade our designs yielding them better ready for anything you can throw at them," he added.
And he throws a lot at his products. On any given day, Bollman might be found fishing in Newport, RI, romping through the woods of his rural Massachusetts home or cooking under the stars in his beloved Montana.
Or, you know, paying a local in Beijing $5 to use his ladder to access a remote section of the Great Wall of China.
We asked Bollman for one of his craziest travel stories. Here's what he told us …
Back in 2015, I took a three-week trip to Asia involving visits to Hong Kong, Shanghai, Seoul and Beijing. While in Beijing I wanted to spend a day hiking the Great Wall, but as with all travel experience, I'm willing to go to great lengths to avoid the tourist areas in favor of the authentic ones. The Great Wall experience was no different. Working with the hotel, a taxi was arranged to drop us off at a "non tourist" section of the wall, then pick us up at another pickup point 10 miles down the wall. While in the cab the driver, who spoke very little English referred to an American Woman who recently did the same thing but had much more equipment; we figured it to be more of a language barrier than anything to be concerned about.
Looking back, the first sign that we had bitten of a bit more than we could chew was when we entered the 2-mile trail up to the wall and were stared in the face with a sign saying "this section of the wall closed." Though at the time it seemed as though the authentic experience had been achieved. When we finally approached the wall we quickly realized how "authentic" this was going to be. There were no stairs, signs or apparent ways of even getting onto (what was left of) the wall. We heard footsteps and a mountain man, who lived at the point where the trail met the wall ran over to the side and flipped down a ladder accompanied with a sign saying $5 for ladder. Out the wallets came and we were on the wall, which more resembled a post-apocalyptic rock quarry than any sort of Great Wall you imagined in a history book. A couple hours of climbing on all fours and even legit rock climbing vertical faces and we hit the end: A +/- 60-ft. vertical face. We turned back.

Reiki for Chronic Pain
Chronic pain affects the lifestyle of millions of people every day. The pain can last for months or even years. It may disappear and then return for no obvious reason, may be limited to a single part of the anatomy, or affect the entire body. Chronic pain may not even have a clear connection to a physical cause. Often the pain cannot be measured by conventional diagnostic tests, yet it is real and can be life altering.
Finding a practitioner who can successfully treat chronic pain can be frustrating. Many people go from doctor to doctor achieving only minimal relief. This is especially true when the cause of the pain cannot be attributed to a specific physical event, such as a broken bone or arthritis. Reiki is a system of healing that treats the entire person both mentally and physically. It is non-invasive and can be used alone or as a complementary therapy with other conventional or alternative therapies for chronic pain.
How Does Reiki Help Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain can arise from many sources, both physical and emotional. These include pain from stress; psychological, spiritual, and emotional distress; from injuries and physical overwork; and pain caused by disease.
By opening up a channel between healer and patient to transfer energy, a reiki healer restores the body both physically and mentally. Muscles are relaxed and energy flow is unblocked. This helps reduce physical tension and pain. Anxiety and stress also are reduced, helping to unblock and release emotional pain. Although the patient may not be completely pain free, he or she feels relaxed, refreshed, and is better able to cope with his or her condition.
Reiki for Cancer Pain and Fatigue
Pain and fatigue are almost universal side effects of cancer and cancer treatment. Beginning in the late 1990s, a number of studies found that reiki treatment significantly reduced the fatigue, pain, and anxiety, and improved the overall quality of life in cancer patients. Particularly striking was the reduction in fatigue. This is believed to be a result of the rebalancing of energy in areas of the body experiencing disease and discomfort. Reiki treatments allowed patients to better control their pain and reduce their dependence on conventional pain opiod medications.
Reiki for Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is the most common type of chronic pain. Treatment of chronic lower back pain is often frustrating for conventional medical practitioners because the source of the pain is non-specific. Reiki treats lower back pain with a holistic approach. It goes beyond site-specific treatment by releasing and rebalancing energy flow and reducing the stress. It also opens emotional channels and releases stressful emotions that may be causing the body to assume physically painful defensive postures that result in lower back pain.
Reiki for Pain from Injuries
Pain from injuries, whether chronic, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress injuries, or acute, such as a sports injury, can be alleviated or moderated through the use of reiki. The healer directs energy toward the site of the pain, stimulating healing. Reiki can be used either alone or in conjunction with other healing therapies to treat injuries.
Reiki for Emotional Pain
Reiki is extremely effective in healing pain caused by emotional tensions and psychological distress that has built up inside the body. Often disturbing emotions manifest themselves as physical tension. Reiki works on a physical level, rebalancing energy flow to relieve tension, but the channel it opens between healer and patient also allow it to work on a psychological and spiritual level to release traumatic emotions. The release of distressing thought helps the patient find mental peace and spiritual renewal.
What Happens During Reiki Healing?
A trained reiki master will conduct the reiki healing session. Sessions can take place in an office, clinic, or home and usually last from one to one-and-a-half hours. When beginning treatment, the patient often has three or four sessions on consecutive days, followed by less frequent sessions. Reiki sessions are often not covered by conventional medical insurance.
In order for reiki to be effective, the patient is asked to bring the correct attitude of acceptance, openness, and responsibility to the reiki session. The patient lies down fully clothed, usually on a massage table. Starting at the head, the reiki master places his or her hands on the body with the fingertips touching. Without applying any pressure, the healer uses concentrated mental visualization to send focused energy to the places where the patient needs it. The hands remain still to allow energy transfer. Hand positions are held for about five minutes, and then a new site is selected.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a form of energy work based on unblocking and balancing the flow of universal life energy in order to bring about physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing.This healing system was developed by Dr. Mikao Usui (1865-1926), a Japanese scholar. Dr. Usui was fascinated by spiritual healing and intensively studied many ancient texts that dealt with the subject.
Reiki is based on the concept that every living thing has an energy field that must be balanced in order to maintain proper mental, physical, and spiritual health. Illness, including chronic pain, occurs when this energy field is either blocked or weakened. Reiki practitioners through special training can unblock universal energy or transfer it from themselves to someone whose energy field is weak, thus promoting healing. Normally, unblocking and energy transfer are done through touch. Advanced practitioners can perform reiki healing without touch, either by holding their hands close to the body or, if the patient is far away, through visualization.
About Reiki Practitioners
Reiki practitioners undergo a series of sessions under the direction of reiki masters in which they learn to tap into their own universal life energy and transfer it to others. These sessions are called attunements. The first level of training usually consists of four three-hour sessions during which the basic hand positions are taught. A second level of training is offered that allows practitioners to intensify their healing powers to the degree that they can perform long-distance healing through visualization.

Business leaders share advice, experiences at inaugural Women's Leadership Forum
February 23, 2017Print
- Writer:
- Camie Williams
Athens, Ga. — Three dynamic female business leaders shared their advice and experiences with more than 100 students at the University of Georgia's inaugural Women's Leadership Forum on Wednesday.
Donna Hyland, president and chief executive officer of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Allison Moran, chief executive officer of RaceTrac, and Teresa Ostapower, chief digital officer for AT&T, discussed their career paths and answered students' questions on overcoming barriers, building confidence and leading with conviction.
The event was hosted by the Office of the President and the Office of the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost and is part of the campus-wide Women's Leadership Initiative that was launched in 2015.
"The growing emphasis on women in leadership roles bodes well for the future," said Provost Pamela Whitten. "We have made great progress in higher education and in the corporate world, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. Providing thought-provoking opportunities like this for our students is an important step in preparing them for leadership roles in the future."
Hyland advised students to take advantage of opportunities and to be confident in their abilities.
"Say yes to as many things as you can and get that experience, and then the sky is the limit as to what you can do," Hyland said to the students. "It's a great time for you to be entering the workforce, and I think you are going to be given a lot of advantages because of that. Hopefully some of us helped pave the way so that you can have every opportunity."
One student who is considering joining her father's company asked Moran about her experiences in her family business.
"For me to be successful didn't mean I had to do it like my father," said Moran, who took over the family business from her father, Carl Bolch, in 2013. "For me to be successful, I have to be my true, authentic self and lead in my way, and I have been able to have the freedom to do that and influence this organization in such a different way-in a way that is very, very deeply rewarding for me. You can find your own path."
Ostapower discussed how she grew professionally during her nearly 30-year career with AT&T.
"Early in my career, I always had great ideas, but I didn't always communicate them, and I didn't always lean in to express my ideas and have people follow me," she said. "It was a development opportunity for me to have that self-confidence, to be bold and get out there. You have to build up that confidence where you can make a difference, and your career and everything in life will take off."
UGA's ongoing Women's Leadership Initiative is fostering the use of best practices in areas such as recruitment, hiring and work-life balance on campus. It also has resulted in new leadership development programming for faculty, staff and students.
Schools and colleges have created women's leadership events and programs such as the Southern Region Women's Agricultural Leadership Summit and the Terry Women's Initiative, which recently received recognition as an Innovation that Inspires by AACSB International, the world's largest business education network and accrediting organization.

The oxygen isotopic ratios (expressed as parts per thousand relative to mean ocean water, SMOW, δ18O) of the quartz from 13 soils undergoing much wind erosion during the study period of 1972–1975 in four southwestern states and from comparison areas were determined. The δ18O for quartz from eight Texas (TX) and Arizona (AZ) soils range from 13.0 to 15.9 ‰. The quartz of the sands and silts coarser than 20 µm from three of the soils had δ18O values ranging from 13.1 to 15.1 ‰, characteristic of an ultimate igneousmetamorphic origin. The δ18O values increase greatly with decreasing particle size of quartz from three soils ranging from loamy fine sand to loam to clay in texture. The δ18O of the 1–10 µm quartz fraction (aerosol size) ranged from 19.2 to 20.2 ‰ (19.55 ± 0.28 ‰; ± sigma) for the thirteen soils most affected by dust storms. The higher values are suggestive of an admixture of some quartz crystallized at low temperature to quartz of high temperature origin. These results are not significantly different from the mean of 20.73 ± 1.82 ‰ found earlier for the same fraction from 30 shales of the midcontinental United States, but are 4 to 7 ‰ higher than those reported for New Zealand, Australian, and southern African soils. The 1–10 µm quartz from the comparison areas of TX and AZ soils in Fluvial materials further southeast and southwest has a δ18O mean of 17.7 ± 0.6 ‰, reflecting the influx of a slightly higher proportion of quartz from igneous sources than in the soils most affected by wind erosion. The oxygen isotopic ratios of 1–10 µm quartz from three Hawaiian soils and two sediments from Lake Waiau occurring at 3,970 m altitude on the Mauna Kea summit on the Island of Hawaii give a δ18O mean of 18.3 ± 0.2 ‰. Quartz of the above soils, including sandy, loamy, and clayey soils of southwestern United States, in addition to shales reported earlier, are source reservoirs of quartz having intermediate oxygen isotopic ratios characteristic of mixtures of two sources of quartz, one crystallized at high (e.g., δ18O = 11 ‰) and one at low temperature (e.g., δ18O = 30 ‰).Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.
