LOYOLA MAROON gm Vol. XLIV Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, March 22, 1968 No. 20 Urbanization problems face Latin America, say experts By GARY ATKINS In symposium Increased urbanization has brought increased problems to Latin American countries, according to three authorities who participated in the recent "Focus: Latin America" program. The three—Dr. Munro Edmunson, professor of anthropology at Tulane University; Dr. Richard Laßarge, chairman of the Economics and Finance Department at LSUNO; and Dr. Michael Micklin, associate professor of sociology at Tulane—discussed "The Problems of Urbanization and Social Change" in Latin America Tuesday night. "Urbanization and social change in Latin America have created internal problems that do more harm than good," Dr. Edmunsen said. "It is, in a sense, a disease." Dr. Edmunsen maintained that the problem of the city areas was and is being created by political pressures. "If you live in a small Latin AmericanAmerican village on the outskirts of a city," he said, "the only way anything of importance can be accomplished, the only way anything that might change your life for the better can be done, involves leaving the village and going into town. Nothing important can be accomplished in the villages. You must get to where the power is and the power is in the city." "There is no use knuckling down to a lot of labor on the local level," he said. "You must send a delegation to the chief or to the president—then there is some chance of getting something done." "Thus, the degree of centralization in Latin America is tremendous," he said, "and the result is that the problem can only be solved by respecting this hierarchy of power. And Latins recognize that." Dr. Nlic k 1 in took a demographer's view of the problem of urbanization, saying that the problem was part of a "vicious cycle." "It is impossible to attain economic development without reducing the population pressure," he said, "yet it is impossible to reduce the population pressure without some type of economic development." In other words, he said, whenever the Latin governments had some funds left over, instead of putting them into economic development it was necessary to use the money to support the unemployed. Another problem of urbanization in Latin America that Dr. Micklin pointed out was the increasing birth rate and the decreasing death rate in the rural areas. "The result is increased density in the rural areas," he said, and there are only three possible responses to this. "Either they reduce fertility, which they have not, attempt to acquire more land, which is not possible, or they leave the rural areas and go to the cities." When these residents of the rural areas migrate to the cities, they form temporary settlements in the city, Dr. Micklin said. These settlements lack public services such as water, electricity, and sanitation, and the residents are "not at all equipped to become a member of the urban industrial force." Therefore, there is a tremendous rate of unemployment, he said, creating situations similar to ghettos in the United States. "These people," Dr. Micklin said, "are most susceptible to whatever kind of propaganda that gets into the settlements. They're willing to go along with any idea which promises them a chance for a better form of existence." Dr. Laßarge added that the wages in the urban centers of Latin America, like those in the United States, tended to pull people from the rural areas into the cities. "Even the slums are vastly better than some of the rural housing facilities available," he said. i DONDE ESTA EL CAFE?: Latin American J) dancers swing to the rhythm of the Guatemalan rock 'n' roll, Los Mayas, during Latin Amer- ican Week at Loyola. These events took place Photo by Ed Curds at a replica of a Latin American cafe in the patio of Danna Center. Other features at the cafe included Spanish coffee, Spanish-American pastries and a style show. WOLF-TV taping Channel 8 series By PAM PARRA Will feature speakers The Department of Communications began production Monday on a half-hour video-taped series entitled, "View from the Campus." The series, which will be aired on WYES-TV beginning Thursday, April -11, at 6:30 p.m., will be replayed on each following Sunday at 5:00 p.m., according to Allan T. Jacobs, chairman of the communications department."The purpose of this series is to interview prominent persons visiting the city concerning their views on current topics of interest to college-age individuals," added Jacobs. The first program, which was taped Monday, was an interview with Miguel Aranguren, deputy director of information for the Organization of American States; and Thomas Mc- Bride. deputy director of the Peace Corps in Latin America. The discussion was moderated by Charles Pahl, professor of Latin American history at Loyola. The next two programs of the series were taped Wednesday. The first was an interview with John Gerassi, an authority on Latin America and editor of "Ramparts" magazine. The third program was a discussion with Charles Moore, chairman of the Department of Architecture at Yale University; and Grady Clay, managing editor of "Landscape Architect." The moderator of the discussion was John Lawrence, dean of the School of Architecture at Tulane University. The fourth program, to be taped Sunday, will feature Saul Aulinsky, an authority on social development. It will be moderated by Mrs. Helen Mervis, director of the New Orleans Consortium. The topics and speakers for the following programs have not been announced."The format of the programs is open participation of colleges and universitiesuniversities throughout the New Orleans area," said Jacobs. Jacobs said each program consists of an interview with the prominent guest, followed by a question and answer period. Anyone may participate in the programs by asking questions and participating in the discussion as a member of the audience, he said. Taping of the shows is done entirely by the communications students. Larry Maloney. A&S junior, directed taping of the programs. It is the first time a series has been taped by the communications department for showing on a television station."At present the programs are primarily concerned with guests to the Loyola campus, but soon the programs will be of direct interest to other universities in the city, and will hopefully draw the attention of these other students," said Jacobs. Students air gripes, peeves through Expression Board "Words are but the signs of ideas" . . . Shakespeare. If Shakespeare really meant what he said he certainly would have a great deal of fun with the "ideas" posted on the Expression Board located in the entrance way of Marquette Hall. The question one might ask him is what are they "signs" of? The majority of contributions concern the war in Viet Nam both pro and con. "God Bless Dow Chemical Corp." "Support Your War Effort . . . Kill A Peace-Creep TODAY!" The subject of God is also well represented on the Expression Board. One of the most interesting comments is a well lettered announcement which reads, "Due to Technical Difficulty Tomorrow Will Be Called Off ... (signed) GOD." The idea for an expression board for students and faculty came from music freshman Lisa Stone. She brought her idea to Miss Parrino who directed her to the Student Council. Realizing the validity of her request. Council members told her it would be possible for her to use the bulletin board in Marquette Hall. Lisa began expressing herself on the Expression Board and soon other student followed suit. The subjects are varied and the creativity is sometimes doubtful, but on a whole this form of institutional graffitti is well used. At any rate it seems appropriate to close with the anonymous contribution by a typical Loyola student . . . "Loyola hurts, but let's make the best of it." POST NO BILLS: A new addition to Marquette Hall is the Expression Board, giving students and faculty the opportunity to publicly air their expressions and ideas. Comments range from "God Bless Dow Chemical Company" to "A-Bomb Hanoi NOW." Elections Elections for college presidents and Student Council representatives will be held Monday and Tuesday March 25 and 26. Polls will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Each student of the university is allowed to vote in his own school or college. Evening division voting will take place Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday during school hours. CHOICE' polls students on presidential candidates Loyola students will soon have the opportunity to vote for one of 13 presidential possibilities as part of the National Collegiate Presidential Primary.The primary, also called CHOICE '68, will be held at Loyola April 24, according to Mary Fiser, chairman of the Student Council Elections Committee. In addition to presenting students with a choice of 13 "possibles" for president, the primary will also have three referendum questions— two on Vietnam and one on the urban problems. CHOICE '68, which is sponsored by Time magazine, is an attempt to stimulate more political interest on college campuses. Miss Fiser said, as well as to allow students to express their own political preferences. So far. some 1,000 colleges with a total enrollment of over five million have agreed to participate in CHOICE '68. The Loyola voting will be supervised by the Student Council Election Committee. The committee, Miss Fiser said, will try to get the various organizations on campus, as well as history and political science classes, to organize as parties and support one of the candidates. She said that although plans had not yet been finalized the committee might also try to hold student rallies and debates during the week before the voting. After the students vote on IBM cards, the votes will be sent to the national headquarters of CHOICE '68 where they will be tabulated. The 13 candidates whose names will appear on the CHOICE '68 ballot are: Fred Halstead, Mark O. Hatfield, Lyndon B. Johnson, Robert F. Kennedy, Martin L. King, John V. Lindsay, Eugene J. McCarthy, Richard M. Nixon, Charles H. Percy, Ronald W. Reagan, Nelson A. Rockefeller, Harold E. Stassen, and George C. Wallace.The three referendum questions will concern the course of military action the United States should pursue in Vietnam, the course the United States should take in regard to the bombing of North Vietnam, and what type of program to aid in the urban crisis should be given government priority. Undercover agents aided in arrests By ED ANDERSON Sabolyk admits Col. Robert Sabolyk, Dean of Men, admitted Monday in an interview that a member of the New Orleans Police Force worked as an undercover agent on the campus during the recent narcotics crackdown which resulted in the arrests of five Loyola students. Sabolyk said that the agent, Jerry Faulkner, "was here to help clear up the problem" of marijuana on the campus. Sabolyk also said that Faulkner was enrolled as a full-time student at the university for "about six weeks." He said that the undercover agent began his work at the university with the beginning of the spring semester and withdrew from Loyola when the cases were brought to light. During that time, Sabolyk said, Faulkner lived on campus in Biever Hall. When asked if Faulkner was the only undercover agent on campus at the time, Sabolyk said: "Yes, he was the only one. You can't have the entire police force out here." Sabolyk said that it was necessary for Loyola to help the police in the matter. In such a case, Sabolyk said, it "is necessary for the university to cooperate with local law enforcement officers." He feels such cooperation is necessary not only in the university's interest but also for the good of the community. Sabolyk said that Faulkner was on campus because "both we and they (the New Orleans Police Department) knew we had a problem on the campus."campus." He said that both the university and police officials "decided to get together by mutual agreement" to help remedy the situation. Sabolyk said that' he "forsees no problem now" concerning the use of drugs on campus. He feels that the situation "has been taken care of." However, a usually reliable source has informed the Maroon that there are at present three undercover agents working in Biever Hall. Sabolyk vehemently denied that such is the case. He said: "As far as I know, this is absolutely not true." Faulkner and fellow undercover agent Frank Ben, were recently honored by Mayor Victor H. Schiro for their work as undercover agents whose work was instrumental in the arrests of 61 suspected narcotics offenders throughout the city. Both men will shortly enter the New Orleans Police Academy to obtain their basic training as police officers.APO movie The APO movie this week is "What Did You Do in the War Daddy?" starring James Colburn and Aldo Ray. It will be presented in Marquette Auditorium at 7 p.m., March 23 and 24. Saturday night a late show will be featured at 10:30 p.m. Admission for the movies is 50 cents.

Scientists unravel mystery behind extinction of world's largest bird
Wednesday 15 June 2005
New Zealand's moa, a group of giant flightless birds including the largest birds ever to have lived, died out because they grew almost ten times slower than living species, reveals a study by researchers at the Zoological Society of London's Institute of Zoology (IoZ) in London.
The new study published today in the journal Nature, in collaboration with the University of Oxford and the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, analysed moa leg bones and discovered up to nine growth rings (similar to tree rings) in bone cross sections, revealing that moa took almost a decade to reach their adult body weight. Moa then took several more years to reach sexual maturity. This is very different to all living birds, which all reach adult size within 12 months.
"This study gives a fascinating insight into the growth rate of birds in the absence of mammalian predators," says Dr Sam Turvey of the IoZ. "New Zealand's unique environment prompted the evolution of 'delayed maturity' in moa, enabling them to grow slowly over a long period of time."
New Zealand, the world's most isolated major landmass, was once home to predatory giant eagles but lacked any mammalian predators prior to the arrival of humans around 1300 AD. It is thought that the long growth period of moa evolved in response to this almost predator-free environment. Moa also became giant-sized in the absence of mammals – the largest moa, Dinornis, measured over two metres tall and weighed a quarter of a ton.
Dr Turvey continued "Moa are closely related to many living birds, including ostrich, emu and cassowary, which suggests that all birds may have this inherent ability for extending their development in this way. However, if birds evolve in the presence of predators, the emphasis is instead on more rapid reproduction."
Moa almost certainly died out within 100 years of Maori settlers colonising New Zealand – it seems that they simply couldn't grow fast enough to breed and replenish their heavily hunted population.
Notes to editors
- Moa were first described by Richard Owen, the founder of the Natural History Museum, in 1839.
- Ten different species of moa are currently recognised, ranging in size from Euryapteryx curtus, which was not much bigger than a turkey, to the two species of 2m tall Dinornis.
- Moa are among a large number of bird species which have become extinct since humans reached New Zealand. Another example is the Stephen Island wren, which was wiped out by a single lighthouse keeper's cat in 1894.
- Moa were ratites, a group of large flightless birds which includes ostrich, emu, cassowary, rhea and kiwi.
- The strongest growth rings are shown by the alpine moa Megalapteryx, which lived in New Zealand's Southern Alps at elevations of over 1,000m
- Female moa were up to three times larger than males – the largest gender size difference of any species of bird or mammal
- The Institute of Zoology (IoZ) is the research division of the Zoological Society of London (ZSL). It is a government-funded research institute specialising in scientific issues relevant to the conservation of animal species and their habitats.
- Founded in 1826, the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) is an international scientific, conservation and educational charity: our key role is the conservation of animals and their habitats. ZSL owns and operates London Zoo and Whipsnade Wild Animal Park, carries out scientific research at the Institute of Zoology and is actively involved in field conservation in over 40 countries worldwide. www.zsl.org

The Science Of Why Sandy Is Such A Dangerous Storm
October 29, 2012 Hurricanes often weaken as they travel north across colder water and approach land. But Sandy hasn't. One reason is that it's expected to change from a tropical storm powered by warm ocean water to something more like a winter storm powered by temperature and pressure differences in the atmosphere.

WARNING: this post was typed after tasting the extract of a few finest and pleasant barley hops, so readers beware!
Last night as Arsenal battled Stoke somewhere on a little island, a strange thing happened in my little watering-hole-of-a-home. I was in the company of a few "non-football type" friends, one of whom happened to be born 29 years ago precisely on this day – or so he claims atleast (wonder how can he be so sure about it). Anyways, others too had had the good fortune of tasting the above mentioned delicacy, and were therefore quite vocal in putting across their dissent for my changing from VH1 to ESPN, but I doggedly ignored their boos.
Then, 8 minutes of captivating football (for me) or aimless kicking of a round object (for my friends) later, Sebastien Squillaci managed to test gravity more than others and (with the fine understanding of angles as of an astute mathematician) managed to divert the oncoming trajectory of the ball between two vertical poles. Fortunately for him, Stoke's goalkeeper seemed to have skipped his school trigonometry lessons, and could do little to appreciate the line as the ball went past him into the forever waiting net.
This seemed to have triggered some juvenile switch in my mind – which off-late my friends say, is coming into action with increasing frequency – and turned me into a jumping, shouting and mentally unstable soul for the next minute or so. Now for the "strange" thing, suddenly all of my friends' earlier hostility towards the broadcast seemed to have vanished, which come to think of it now, may also have been in concern for my suddenly deteriorating condition.
Everyone did focus on the repeat of the same magical skill, now being displayed in slow-mo, obviously to help people with slower understanding of the game. This was the moment I heard (and am sure the barley hops were not tricking my ears) a few ooohs and aaahs from these atheists. I agree that the goal in question was nothing which will go into the annals of sport, but it must be said that this moment of the "round thing" going past the "white line" has some magic draped around it, which makes otherwise sane human beings turn into (at the very least) wide eyed statues or (at the other end of the spectrum) bring them closer to the antics of their long lost predecessors (read howling and chest thumping).
What is it – this GOAL thing – that so captivates our attention. To test my theory, I took a FIFA approved ball, painted a white line in my local joggers park and relentlessly repeated the process of push-the-round-thing-across-the-line. Sadly this seemed not to enthuse many, and those that were intrigued, left tut-tutting and pitying the state of my grey cells.
NOTE: the barley hop effect seems to have drained, so you can expect human text now!
So definitely it is not just the matter of crossing a line, there has to be something more to it. This something has been termed as the "magic of sport" by many while also vilified as our species' innate barbaric tendency to glorify physical achievements. Whatever the truth may be, it cannot be denied that sport captivates our attention like nothing else.
We make gods out of mortals, cry with joy or sorrow and completely forget our own predicaments, just by witnessing action that is as remote to our life (in the literal sense) as a supernova exploding in another corner of the galaxy (the supernova mind you, still has the capability to bring our joyous moment to an abrupt and permanent halt). This then, ladies and gentlemen (and the aliens who are decoding this) is the intangible "spirit" all humans are born with.
Sport calls to us deep inside, and its not surprising considering its had time to hone that skill for the whole of our evolution period. If its not so, try explaining those goose bumps you got when Usain Bolt crossed yet another white line in 2008 (or is it really something about white lines??). Don't take my barley hop influenced words for it. Mr Mandela in all his wide wisdom called to this spirit to astounding effect in apartheid infested South Africa. Tony Blair (ok I agree not the best of examples to quote, but whatever) recently said, "Sport has enduring qualities. It shows us how to participate in something that is bigger than ourselves. Sport brings people together; the self-wroth and self-belief that it teaches are values that can last a lifetime."
So it did not matter if my friends followed the Gunners or not, nor the fact that Squillaci was as familiar to them as JJ Berzelius (provided the wiki link to help with your curiosity). They were nevertheless attracted almost subconsciously to "that moment" around which the sport rotates. For all non believers, tell me how many people have you seen queuing outside a TV retailer, watching the trailer of that long anticipated movie, and compare that with those you saw when Dhoni was pummelling the hapless Banglas.
I started this post by expressing surprise for the strange moment that froze my friends, but am only too pleased to state that moments such as these are here to stay – that is till that supernova finally decides to make a point about itself. Finally, to all those wondering what on Earth messed up my brain cells to make me type this nothing kind of an article, all I can say is, just seem to have done it lost in the "moment".

The U.N. Security Council last month authorized a one-year military peacekeeping mission in the country. Members of ECOWAS, the Economic Community of West African States, pledged thousands of troops, and the Security Council has urged other nations to contribute forces as well.
The Security Council met Monday to receive an update on Mali. Following that meeting, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, said there may be a need for a new Security Council resolution.
The United Nations said preparations are under way for a U.N. multidisciplinary team to go to Bamako soon.
Nigeria, Niger, Burkina Faso, Togo, Senegal and Benin are among the countries that have pledged to send troops, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told reporters Monday.
Mali's northern neighbor, Algeria, will close its border with Mali, Algeria's state news agency, Algeria Press Service reported.
A spokesman for Germany's Foreign Ministry said the country's leaders were considering offering medical, logistical and humanitarian aid to Mali.
Two British military transport aircraft have been assigned to help with the French troop deployment, but no British forces will be in a combat role, said Mark Simmonds, minister for Africa for the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
"The ferocity and fanaticism of the extremists in northern Mali must be not be allowed to sweep unchecked into the country's capital," Simmonds told British lawmakers Monday. "France, which has an historic relationship with Mali, is quite rightly in the lead. In the coming days, we will be focused on the regional and international diplomacy we must achieve to check this emerging threat."

WHITESBORO -- An Oriskany man will spend the next year on probation for improperly removing asbestos.
74-year-old Leonard Pugh was sentenced in federal court following his guilty plea to a violation of the Clean Air Act.
Pugh will spend one year on probation and must pay a $5,000 fine.
He is an owner of the 44 Mohawk Street LLC, that owned a building in Whitesboro. The building, at 44 Mohawk Street, had approximately 6000 square feet of asbestos. Pugh admits he hired an unlicensed person to demolish the building with knowledge that he would not first notify the Environmental Protection Agency of the demolition activity, maintain the asbestos in a wet condition during removal activities and dispose of the asbestos in a landfill authorized by law to accept asbestos contaminated materials.
Asbestos was determined to cause various forms of cancer and asbestosis, which is a nearly always deadly lung disease. The Environmental Protection Agency has determined there is no safe level of exposure to asbestos.

Former Fire Chief Plea Bargains From Felonies to Misdemeanors
THE FORMER COLORADO CITY, ARIZONA, FIRE CHIEF Jacob Barlow was sentenced Friday following a complicated plea-bargain settlement with the Mohave County Attorney's office. Barlow was indicted along with the now-former town manager 18 months ago for misuse of public funds. At the time, Firegeezer reported:
FIRE CHIEF JACOB BARLOW OF THE COLORADO CITY / HILDALE Fire Department in Arizona was arrested Tuesday on an indictment issued August 4 charging him with 27 counts of violating the duties as custodian of public funds, two counts of participating in a criminal syndicate and one count of assisting in a criminal syndicate. Colorado City, Arizona, and Hildale, Utah, are twin cities that straddle the border and are infamous for being the settlement for a religious cult that openly practices polygamy. The community has been in the news constantly over the past several years, most recently when the cult's leader, Warren Jeffs was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for child rape connected with the cult's practices.
Law officers from both states jointly raided the FD in 2011 after a lengthy investigation that began in 2010. Read the full Firegeezer report HERE.
Fire Station 3 (News-Herald)
In Friday's court appearance Barlow pleaded guilty to reduced charges of "solicitation of misuse of public money" and conditional probation. His co-hort in the crimes, former town manager David Darger who also served as the fire district's secretary/treasurer, is still bargaining with the prosecutor.
The Kingman (Arizona) Daily Miner reports today:
As part of the plea agreement, Barlow will be sentenced to probation and required to pay $5,000 to the Mohave County Attorney's Office and $2,000 to the Mohave County Sheriff's Office to cover the costs of the investigation and prosecution. Jail time remains a possibility as well. All other charges against Barlow have been dismissed as part of the agreement.
If Barlow can successfully complete his probation, the two counts will be lowered to misdemeanors, but until then they will be considered felonies, said Mohave County Superior Court Judge Steven Conn.
If Barlow is unable to meet the terms of his probation, he could face two years apiece for the felony convictions.

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
This is a bit too strong of a scent for my taste. It had citrus airs in addition to a floral scent, which is nice, but may give you a headache after wearing it for a while. However, I am rather sensitive to scent!
I am picky with perfumes but this scent is delightful. I also enjoy having the rollerball when I travel. The scent is clean, fruity but not too sweet.
I was so bummed when my sample went out- which happened pretty quickly. I used it as much as possible. Definitely worth a full purchase!
A light crisp smell. Clean and fresh not over whelmingly. Can be worn daily for any occasion. People always compliment me when I wear this fragrance
This is my absolute favorite perfume right now. I have gotten compliments from my peers, supervisors at work, and even strangers. I have bought this scent from Birchbox already and will likely be placing another order for this scent!
I love the citrusy tones. I think it was fruity but mature. Great perfume, I am adding it to my holiday wish list
i abdsolutely love this fragrance!! my only complaint would be that my atomizer produces more of a sputter than a fine spray.
This is definitely my new favorite scent! I think it is a good every day type of perfume. Not too strong, very feminine.
I received this in my monthly Birchbox delivery. I love how airy and flirty this perfume is. Lasts all day without overpowering. Such a sweet, sexy scent. I plan to purchase this in full size for sure!
This smells nice and I liked it when I received it but once I put it on I immediately got a headache. It's a great smell but I am very sensitive to smells so it just wasn't for me.

The night to reminence about for the rest of our lives. Famous stars from the Bollywood, Stars from Kollywood and Tollywood were present at this much publisized event. The scoring of the top ranking by MOHANLAL during his successful tenure of 25 years in the most volatile industry of the planet is appreciated. The viewing public attended the event in large numbers despite pouring rain staring and ogling at the glamorous actresses and flambouyant actors all dressed in the height of fashion. The festivities was the ultimate STAR show in Kerala during the course of the Year- 2003 comes to a close with the memory of the glamour of CINEMA STARS! 'Priyapetta MOHANLAL 25 Vayassu'

How would one go about fixing hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism naturally? Have any of you done it? Does the paleo diet balance the thyroid overtime?

Paleo helps a Woman Get Off Thyroid Medication! http://robbwolf.com/2012/06/04/11360/
There are people with receptor and other problems of the thyroid that have NORMAL TSH but borderline or abnormal one or more of the following tests so you must have these checked:
Total T4 (TT4) AND Free T4 (FT4)
Resin T3 Uptake (T3U/T7/T3RU) AND Free T3 (FT3)
Reverse T3 (rT3)
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPOAb) AND Thryoglobulin Antibodies (TGB Ab)
Thyroid-Stimulating Immunoglobins (TSI) AND TSH stimulating Antibodies (TSAb)
If you have negative to all the thyroid antibodies hen I would supplement with iodine and selenium. You can do 150 mcg (micrograms) of selenium daily but iodine slowly increase. For example week 1 take daily 150 mcg (micrograms) of kelp (iodine), week 2 take 300 mcg daily, week 3 take daily 450 mcg, week 4 take daily 600 mcg. Most people without any antibodies to thyroid function (no sign of Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroid) will do well with 600 mcg to 1 gram (1000 micrograms) of kelp a day.
You should work with a functional/holistic practitioner who supports Paleo and can track and order the bloodwork/hormone panels. Do not try to do this yourself. You need help, but understand the science behind it.
Also read 2 books:
Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms? When My Lab Tests Are Normal: A Revolutionary Breakthrough In Understanding Hashimoto's Disease and Hypothyroidism by Dr. Datis Kharrazian, DHSc, DC, MS, MNeuroSci, FAACP, DACBN, DABCN, DIBAK, CNS - chiropractic doctor
Iodine: Why you need it, Why you can't live without it by Dr. David Brownstein, MD
Chris Kresser, a licensed acupuncturist, (also Paleo) has written a lot on thyroid/iodine, among many other topics on blogposts. He works with clients in his office and through Skype/phone.
I have to believe iodine and selenium is fairly important especially if consuming goitrogens and fermented vegetables. My husband and I were consuming about 1-2 pounds of COOKED goitrogenic vegetables per day with no supplemental iodine or selenium. We were using sea salt which doesn't have much iodine. We started to develop symptoms like fatigue, feeling cold, cold hands etc. These symptoms happened in both low carb and higher carb contexts, although higher carbohydrate may mask thyroid symptoms - this was mentioned multiple times at Paleo FX in Austin.
Within days of slow adding kelp supplementation (building from 150 mcg to currently 600 mcg over a month) and 150-200 mcg of selenium daily we notice a big difference in energy and not feeling cold. We have also limited our goitrogens by eliminating fermented vegetables since we do fine with raw dairy for probiotics.
We thought cooking and eating lots of saturated fat would take care of the goitrogens, but apparently that wasn't enough for us. So I compiled this list to help those trying to limit goitrogens or have had a similar experience.
Non-Goitrogenic Produce Avocado - improves thyroid function
Banana, Plaintain
Berries (except strawberries), Cherries, Citrus (lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, etc.), Melons
Apricots, Dragonfruit, Starfruit, Grapes, Guava, Kiwi, Lychee, Mango, Apple, Pineapple, Pomegranate
Nightshades - Peppers (sweet/bell and hot), Eggplant, Tomatoes, Potatoes
Squashes - Cabeza, Zuccinni, Yellow, Butternut, Pumpkin, Bittermelon (Corolla) technically fruit
Peas, Green Beans, Carrots
Asparagas, Artichoke
Lettuce, Celery, Cucumber
Herbs - Oregano, Basil, Thyme, Parsley, Cilantro, Parsley
Onions, Leeks, garlic, shallots, chives
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goitrogen Goitrogens are substances that suppress the thyroid gland by interfering with iodine uptake, which can, as a result, cause an enlargement of the thyroid, i.e., a goitre.
Fermented Vegetables in brine (salt water) NOT vinegar have high Goitrogens since the bacteria convert more to that form as in Sauerkraut, Kimchi, Pickle, etc. Certain raw foods (cooking inactivates some of the goitrogens, except in the cases of soy and millet) have been identified as goitrogenic. These goitrogenic foods include:
Cassava (Tapioca), Sweet Potatoes, Rutabagas, Radishes (inc. Daikon), Turnips
Soybeans (and soybean products such as tofu, soybean oil, soy flour, soy lecithin) (High)
Pine nuts, Peanuts, Flaxseeds, Lima Beans
Millet (High)
Strawberries, Pears, Peaches (low)
Bamboo shoots
Vegetables in the genus Brassica (cruciferous)
Bok choy, Choy sum, Mizuna Tatsoi,
Broccoli, Broccolini, Broccoflower, Kai-lan (Chinese broccoli), Rapini, Cauliflower
Brussels sprouts, Cabbage, Chinese cabbage
Canola (Rapeseed), Yu Choy,
Collard greens, Mustard Greens, Kale
Mustard (low)
Despite being generally a stimulant, caffeine (examples: coffee, tea, cola, chocolate) acts on thyroid function as a suppressant. Indeed some studies on rats suggest that excess caffeine in conjunction with a lack of iodine may promote the formation of thyroid cancers.
Masterjohn recommends no more then 5 servings of goitrogens/week and Kresser no more then 3-6 servings/week for anyone with thyroid issues. Paul Jaminet, Chris Masterjohn, and Chris Kresser have written well on this.

Answer by Baba 1346 · Apr 25 '12 at 12:42 PM
I don't believe that you can heal a thyroid, which has been destroyed by antibodies.
For natural thyroid support you can make sure that you have enough:
iodine, selenium, tyrosine
and a healthy liver and gut, where a lot of the T4-T3 conversion take place, plus healthy adrenals which you need to make use of thyroid "energy"

Instead they found tragedy.
After four days in Utah The Moreyra family found all their possessions destroyed in a house fire.
The Moreyra family was staying with his cousin Jose Escobar. The Escobar's also lost everything in the fire too.
At about three a.m. Moreyra heard strange sounds.
"I hear popping and look through the window," he says. "And then I see yellow flames."
He woke up everyone in the house hoping to get everyone out he was able to.
"We just run out of house without shoes and just some blankets and pajamas," he says.
The two families watched everything go up in smoke.
"I pulled out my car just in time," he says. "But I couldn't get my trailer."
Inside the trailer were the family's clothing and his tools as a carpenter.
"It was all gone," he says. "All my tools, clothes, my wife clothes gone."
The unemployed carpenter just arrived from North Carolina hoping to find work.
"It was only four days when we come from North Carolina and I spent all my money to get here," he says.
But now the two cousins must start over, each with no jobs, their families without shelter and clothing.
"I was looking at the pictures (of burned house) and I was like how can this happen to us, how can this happen to our family," he says.
The Red Cross has provided temporary shelter for the two families but those funds run out after Monday night.
Moreyra is unemployed and would like to find a job somewhere to get back on his feet.
Escobar worked in landscaping but he says the season is over and is looking for work.
A trust fund has been setup for anyone willing to help out. The fund is at America First Credit Union under the name of Jose Escobar.

Florida Homeowners Insurance Carrier Citizens
Home Insurance Sales Increase
Term life insurance quotes are all about years
For 115 years, operators of vehicles in the United States have considered it a good idea to carry auto insurance on their horseless carriages. The first policyholder purportedly was a Massachusetts man named Gilbert J. Loomis who in 1897 paid $7.50 for a $1,000 policy.
The Travelers policy insured Loomis against the eventuality of him running his home-built, one-cylinder car into a horse while traveling the road; such rude encounters were not unknown in those days. If Loomis had killed a horse or rammed into the side of a house, the property damage would have been covered. If he had bloodied his nose or broken his neck in the crash, however, he would have been on his own because personal injury insurance was a few years from being introduced.
Insurance rates ranged widely in the early days because there was no actuarial basis for setting rates. That is, too few accidents and circumstances had been recorded to statistically predict risk. Not until the 1920s did the industry begin to find common ground and develop insurance premiums linked to actual experience.
Today, auto insurance customers in Florida and elsewhere operate in an entirely different market environment. A safe driver can benefit from the wealth of statistical knowledge that has been accumulated. This compiled information lets insurers project with some degree of accuracy what individual categories of drivers will do behind the wheel and insurance rates accurately reflect those actuarial projections. Good drivers=good rates.
On the other hand, the numbers also single out higher risk categories of drivers who history has shown are prone to drive more recklessly or otherwise experience more claims on policies. If you are a single male living in a city, for example, you often can expect to pay more than would a person of different gender and circumstances. However, individual safe driving records and low claims experience can reduce a premium differential over time.
The value of insurance has been demonstrated time and time again when drivers and property owners experience unexpected loss and are made whole. Accidents happen and every person in the end is powerless to prevent them. This is why government policies require vehicle operators to carry auto insurance and states closely regulate the industry. In 2012, it is all about protecting people, not horses.

[caption id="attachment_404" align="aligncenter" width="243" caption="Men of Green Calendar (July 2010)"][/caption]
I had a good weekend of running last weekend with two 3 hour outings. Then took four straight days off for no real reason other than work was hectic and other stuff going on. It's probably not bad to rest up before I tear into a 6 week cycle of heavy training, so no biggie. I'm not a slave to running and don't get too bent out of shape about taking a day off (or four). I really like the training I've fallen into this year of few number of runs but big miles/climb on those runs. I feel much stronger on runs the last month than I have in at least four years.
I was supposed to head up to Brainard Lake today for 26 miles with a crazy fast and strong girl. I figured she just stood me up, so I did my run locally this morning. Then I had a couple of texts from her when I got back saying she ended up running alone because she didn't hear from me when she texted to confirm last night. I confirmed, texted again this morning and left a vmail. Way to go AT&T. The most worthless carrier I've ever encountered. If I wasn't so attached to my iPhone...
Anyway, looking to scamper up Green, Bear, South Boulder peaks tomorrow along with 8 or so miles on Mesa if anyone's interested. Just assume I'm starting at 7am - don't wait for a text from me!

They will be denying it even when the rope is tightened around his scrawny neck.
BEIRUT – Syria's Information Ministry said on Friday that comments by Russia's ambassador to France that Syrian President Bashar Assad has accepted leaving power in an orderly way were "completely devoid of truth".
The ministry statement, flashed on state television, came in response to remarks by Moscow's envoy to Paris who said that by accepting a recent international declaration which foresaw a transition towards a more democratic Syria, Assad had "accepted to leave, but in an orderly way."
Alexandre Orlov Russia's ambassador to France said on French RFI radio on Friday that "At the Geneva conference, there was a final communique that foresees a transition towards a more democratic system."
"This final communique was accepted by Assad. Assad nominated his representative to lead the negotiations with the opposition for this transition. That means he accepted to leave, but in an orderly way."
Also Friday, Syrian State television announced that Syria's intelligence chief Hisham Bekhtyar died of wounds suffered in a bombing on Wednesday which killed three other senior security officials in Assad's inner circle.
The Head of National Security intelligence agency's death was announced as Syria held funeral ceremonies for three other security officials killed in Wednesday's bomb attack – Assad's brother-in-law, his defense minister and a veteran army general.
Rebels seized control of sections of Syria's international borders and torched the main police headquarters in the heart of old Damascus, advancing relentlessly since Wednesday's attack.
The battle for parts of the capital raged into the early hours of Friday, with corpses piled in the streets. In some neighborhoods, residents said there were signs that the government's presence was diminishing.
Officials in neighboring Iraq confirmed that Syrian rebels were now in control of the Syrian side of the main Abu Kamal border checkpoint on the Euphrates River highway, one of the major trade routes across the Middle East.
Rebels also claimed control of at least two border crossings into Turkey at Bab al-Hawa and Jarablus, in what appeared to have been a coordinated campaign to seize Syria's frontiers.
In Damascus, a witness in the central old quarter district of Qanawat said the huge headquarters of the Damascus Province Police was black with smoke and abandoned after being torched and looted in a rebel attack.
"Three patrol cars came to the site and were hit by roadside bombs," said activist Abu Rateb by telephone. "I saw three bodies in one car. Others said dozens of security men and shabbiha (pro-Assad militia) lay dead or wounded along Khaled bin al-Walid street, before ambulances took them away."
Coming days critical for Assad regime's future
The next few days will be critical in determining whether Assad's government can recover from the devastating blow of Wednesday's bombing, which wiped out much of Assad's command structure and destroyed his circle's aura of invulnerability.
Assad's powerful brother-in-law, his defense minister and a top general were killed in Wednesday's attack. The head of intelligence and the interior minister were wounded.
Government forces have responded by blasting at rebels in their own capital with helicopter gunships and artillery stationed in the mountains overlooking it.
Assad's failure to appear in public for more than 24 hours – he was finally shown on television on Thursday swearing in a replacement for his slain defense minister – added to the sense of his power evaporating. His whereabouts are not clear.
Diplomatic efforts – rapidly overtaken by events on the ground – collapsed in disarray on Thursday when Russia and China vetoed a UN Security Council resolution that would have imposed sanctions unless Syrian authorities halted violence. Washington said the council had "failed utterly."
Activists in Damascus said rebels were now in control of the capital's northern Barzeh district, where troops and armored vehicles had pulled out.
The army had also pulled out of the towns of Tel and Dumair north of Damascus after taking heavy losses, they said. But they said troops were hitting the western district of Mezzeh with heavy machine-guns and anti-aircraft guns overnight.
The reports could not be confirmed. The Syrian government restricts access by international journalists.
A resident who toured much of Damascus late on Thursday said he saw signs the government's presence was diminishing, with only sporadic checkpoints and tanks in place in some areas. The Interior Ministry at the main Marjeh Square had a fraction of its usual contingent of guards still in place.
Shelling could be heard on the southwestern suburb of Mouadamiyeh from hills overlooking the city where the Fourth Division, commanded by Assad's brother Maher, is based, he said.
Syrian television showed the bodies of about 20 men in T-shirts and jeans with weapons lying at their sides, sprawled across a road in the capital's Qaboun district. It described them as terrorists killed in battle.

Has anyone read The March by Doctorow ? I haven't read it yet but a member of The book discussion group I below to mentioned in an email he saw Doctorow on Charlie Rose the other night. When asked he said he had not done any research before he wrote the book. My friend said that might be why Doctorow has Sherman having a nervous breakdown after the Battle of Shiloh. I had just bought the book. Now I am not sure I want to read it. i don't read much fiction about the Civil War, the nonfiction is exciting enough although as I posted I have read and loved Widow of the South. Would love to hear what others have to say about this book. |

Hi Susan To be honest I haven't read it either, because I'm not really in to fiction myself. But several people on the Ulysses S. Grant Home Page forum board did discuss it and it didn't go over very well. I think one of them mentioned a dialogue in the book. between Sherman and a doctor, who accompanies him to meet Grant and the President at City Point, in which Sherman tells the doctor to see if Grant is drunk Sherman then goes on to say that Grant never writes better then when he's drunk. It didn't go over well on the Grant board. |

Kent thanks for the reply. I am sure that quote about Grant would not sit well. I doubt Grant was drinking at City Point as he was busy . So it sounds like this author takes the legends and repeats them instead of reading current research. Thinking I may give this book a pass even though I just bought it. |

There was a long article about that book in today's Dallas Morning News. In it the author says that Sherman liberated Andersonville. That made me dubious about the book asuming the author said it and the journalist just didn't screw it up, my guess now, based on comments stated above is the journalist did not screw it up. Sounds like there are much better books out there. |

I have since I first posted read many reiviews of the book. One said he did extensive research he read a book about the Civil War . sounded like it was Shelby Foote or the like . Most of the reviews are good. They praise the book. Interesting though one reviewer Vincent D. Balitas is a poet, teacher and critic in Pottsville, Pa. did say in his review in the Washington Times this : How historically accurate is the novel? Civil War buffs will have a grand time debating this or that point. Historical figures do appear, including Lincoln and Grant and others are mentioned. One of the most interesting is Kil Kilpatrick, a swashbuckling officer who provides some dark comic relief. Kilpatrick appears in Gen. Sherman's "Memoirs." However, readers who seek their history in fiction are looking for trouble. Writers have been known to ignore verifiable facts to get a good story. A novel, after all, is a fiction, is a lie. |

Doctorow may have an important name but that doesn't necessarily mean he can write a believeable Civil War novel. For example, I had taken great pains to get my facts right when I recently wrote my Civil War novel, and I know how difficult that can be--especially when you come across historians that don't even agree with one another. I think, as an example, you could take some important historical event--such as the Lincoln assassination and see how different historians treat it. When I covered that event in my book, I described in detail several things that some writers omit--such as the fact that Booth presented a card to the attendant outside of Lincoln's box before entering it, that Booth had to drop down one step before opening the door, and that he had to place a wooden bar against the door to anchor the other end of it into the mortise he had made earlier. Details like that only come from careful research, something only a true advocate of Civil War history and a person patient with research can accomplish. It's unfortunate that some novelists don't bother to take the time to research their book. Just because it's a novel doesn't mean you can be careless with the facts. |

Susan Have you read the book yet, or have the comments frightened you off. I find the comments quite illuminating as it would appear we are taking the high road: has anyone on the forum actually read the book? Edgar Doctorow beside being a Guggenheim fellow, as well as a National Book Award winner, is also noted for his research. He is also noted for his disdain of poorly prepared interviewers (my Italics). From my very limited perspective, much of his writing appears to be built around taking historical identities, as well as other lesser lights, some of whom are fictional, placing them in a time and place of historical significance, and then asking the reader to question the facts, as much about what he (Doctorow) has written as the 'actual' facts, as others have written them. I have not seen the book here in Oz. And all things being equal I probably will not unless I buy it through the Internet. So my simple request to you is read it, read it as fiction, read it to waste a few hours one wet Sunday, with the fire on, feet tucked up, and endless hot chocolate. And then, come back to us and tell us, how things went Kindest Regards Bill Wyndham |

Human race is strangely attracted to the stories whre you can go back in time and fix something in the past. I guess, it is our strong desire to be able to control our lives even when we've already failed or made a mistake. Anyways, in Redemption Cemetery: Salvation of the Lost Collector's Edition, you are to fix somebody else's past to rotect your present and future.The game takes you to a spooky cementery as you ride on a subway. The place looks abandoned and ceepy, but it is still attractive and interesting to explore. But the reason you are there is not to enjoy the trip, you are to help the lost souls there. A strange lady form a different world urges you to do that having kidnapped your dog. It is up to you now to go and fix some of the things in the past if you want to get out and get back to your normal life.
Vocation is a long-dreamed time when you forget about the daily routine, eat and sleep to your heart's content and travel to most unimaginable places. Start packing your suitcase or just download Bon Voyage: Hidden Object to get pleasant pastime, amazing photos and souvenirs. The objective of this mobile game is to let you witness the most interesting festivals around the world. The Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, la Tomatina and the Running of the Bulls in Spain, Octoberfest in Germany, Hanami (Cherry Blossom) in Japan... Over a dozen exciting events are awaiting for you in the shape of a hidden object game. In each location you are to find 14 objects presented as words, silhouettes or associations. You choose the mode every time you pick a level, thus the locations can be replayed in all three modes to get maximum stars.
When I was a child, I remember to bother my Mom to read a bedtime story every night, though she was even more sleepy after work. Nowadays new mobile devices make the task easier. As you come back home you find your advanced offspring estimating a new app she has just installed on your tablet. If the situation sounds familiar, than interactive kids books is the option. One of my last findings is The Elephant's Child, a dubbed interpretation of the famous fairy-tales by Rudyard Kipling. The application is actually a 20-page picture book full of different animations. Thus, apart of reading the text at the page bottom, a child may also tap the characters and the background image. 300+ animations promise almost never-ending discoveries and at least a couple of quiet months. Phew!
People get used to say that wishing won't help and, as a matter of fact, it's true. But a new hidden object adventure Bedtime Stories:The Lost Dreams makes difference and uncovers the scene behind the most questioned matter "What if ..?". Your character is a little boy who gets a rare opportunity to find out what would happen to his relatives if they would have changed their mistakes in the past. Meet funny characters, enjoy lifesaving mission of helping others to react and do things right. You won't ever believe what kinds of trifles may leave the most precious dreams and goals unfulfilled. For example, one might face spiders, cluttered rooms, a mess in the wardrobe or other lovely things that might change the entire course of one's life.
Grim Tales: The Legacy is a newly released hidden object puzzle adventure game. The game is dark, and the levels are challenging. The story of the game is the one that you don't want to be your own in real life. You play as a young woman who is on her way to reconnect with her sister. They haven't seen each other for a long time, and it seems that now is the chance to have this great family reunion. But family reunions often do not turn out what they are expected to be. This story is no exception.
The much desired release of Absolutist has finally come out! Green Moon is calling for you to complete an amazing and fine mission and make the eternal dream of humanity come true. Green Moon was supposed to remind the players what a classic quest game tastes like, giving them the chance to exercise their brains. Saying without exaggeration, the developers really managed to make a go of it. If an original quest presupposes wandering around a decent number of locations trying to find or obtain a certain item, here you go!
Lost Souls: Enchanted Paintings is another release into the hidden object/adventure genre. The game would then fall into the category of the more light games of this genre, rather than the creepy ones with many horror scenes. The story of the game begins with a mom and her son being delivered and strange package. When they unpack it it turns out to be a painting. They have no idea who sent it, but the son wants it to hang in his room. That same night he is being kidnapped by the very painting. The mom is desparate to find her son. Police and FBI were not very helpful, but a fortune teller provides a way for her to try and resque him. So that's when her journey begins. The journey will spread over several paintings. Each of the paintinf is like a different world, where you are to fix whatever demage was caused by the evil wizzard.
A Vampire Romance: Paris Stories is one of the latest releases to the hidden object genre. Having played this game I feel like I made a trip to the past due to the way the game looked and played. The story reminds a bit the Twilight movie story. In this game you play as a young girl who comes to Paris to study art. There she meets this mysterious guy, and as you can guess from the title, things get romantic but complicated. So if Twilight story wasn't enough for you, you can also enjoy this version of the girl-meets-vampire story. Now I have to explaain why I said before that it felt like I travelled back in time. The game basically consists of good old hidden object levels and mini-games of different kinds. There is also a part with iteractive searches, but it isn't that big part of the game, and it isn't that challenging too. You don't have to think hard where to use what and how to get somewhere. Everything is pretty easy here.
