In the morning, you wake to the high-pitched squeals of a pig, protesting the ropes that restrain his limbs in preparation for slaughter. If you're accustomed to rising to the jarring but comfortably inanimate buzz of an alarm clock and encountering bacon only as a cellophane-wrapped package in the grocery store freezer aisle, this morning ritual at Haiti's l'Htpital Albert Schweitzer is a fitting introduction to life in a region so different from your own.
A country of contradictions, Haiti is one of the poorest nations in the world but was once one of the richest colonies in the Caribbean. The health of many of Haiti's residents closely mirrors the country's economic status; Haitians commonly suffer from malnutrition and all types of infectious diseases. A single place of hope in the populous and particularly poor Artibonite Valley region of Haiti is the Albert Schweitzer Hospital, founded in 1953 by William Larimer Mellon, who graduated from Tulane's School of Medicine that same year.
In his middle 30s, Mellon, a member of the wealthy Pittsburgh family, fell under the spell of Schweitzer, the Nobel laureate, physician and humanitarian who ran a rural hospital in the African country of Gabon. Following in his mentor's footsteps, he enrolled in medical school, became a physician and built a hospital that has survived nearly half a century in a country with a paucity of industry and natural resources and more than its share of political discord and poverty.
Mellon died in 1989, but his spirit lives on in his wife, Gwen, and in the Haitians and the foreign volunteers who staff the hospital. One such volunteer is Tulane's own Paul Dyment, vice president of academic affairs at the Tulane University Medical Center, professor of pediatrics and director of the university's Student Health Center. Dyment has volunteered his services as a pediatrician at the hospital and elsewhere in Haiti for a few weeks each year for the past three years.
When he retires this year, he will devote two months of each year to working in the hospital. Like Mellon and so many other doctors, Dyment's inspiration to give of his time and expertise came from reading about Schweitzer. "When I was premed, I read everything Albert Schweitzer had written," Dyment says. "Anyone who reads about his works is inspired."
An armchair historian and teacher of the course on the history and philosophy of medicine on both of Tulane's campuses, Dyment begins every slide show on his experiences in Haiti with a short history about the hospital and the country. "Forty years ago," Dyment says, "Dr. Mellon went to Tulane medical school late in life, knowing he was going to set up a hospital and knowing it was going to be in Haiti." To trace the history of l'Htpital Albert Schweitzer, one first has to travel to another hospital in Lambarini, Gabon, then French Equatorial Africa.
In 1913, at age 30, Albert Schweitzer, an acclaimed authority on Bach, theologian and newly graduated physician, formed a hospital in an impoverished region of Africa and devoted his life to improving the health care for the area's residents. In 1952 he won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work and philosophical writings. News of Schweitzer and his hospital had spread worldwide when a 1947 article in Life magazine on his works reached the desk of William Larimer (Larry) Mellon at his ranch in Arizona.
As described in biographer Peter Michelmore's book, Dr. Mellon of Haiti, Larry Mellon was something of a misfit among others of his social standing. Son of Pittsburgh financier and industrialist Andrew Mellon, Larry Mellon had decided early in his life to pursue an unconventional career path. Shunning Princeton after his freshman year, he married hastily and endured a brief stint in the family banking business before heading out west to try his hand at cattle ranching.
Settling in Arizona, Mellon's spirits soared and so did his ranch's profits. His marriage, on the other hand, came to a hasty finish when his young wife visited from Pittsburgh and saw the tiny shack her husband called home. In addition to the ranch, Mellon devoted himself to his music and study of languages (he played a variety of instruments and was fluent in numerous languages). It didn't take Mellon long to find a woman who shared his love of the outdoors and industrious work ethic, however.
Also newly divorced, Gwen Grant Rawson worked at a nearby ranch teaching horseback riding to support her three children. They were married after Mellon's tour of duty in World War II and it was with Gwen that Larry sat down and read the Life article on Albert Schweitzer after a hard day's work on the ranch. Although the article made a big impression on both, Gwen was stunned when Larry announced he was going to quit the ranch, go to medical school and start a hospital for the poor.
And it was with hesitation that Tulane University School of Medicine dean Max Lapham admitted the 37-year-old ex-rancher, college dropout and reluctant millionaire. Gwen trained as a lab assistant and worked at the school while Larry earned his degree. Tulane was no picnic for Larry, who first enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences to take the required premedical courses.
Once in medical school, he had to struggle to make average grades. Gwen worked tirelessly in a nearby laboratory, hardly ever seeing her husband. Schweitzer himself took an interest in Mellon and wrote to him with encouragement and suggestions.
The Nobel laureate counseled his protigi to concentrate on anatomy, physiology and surgery in medical school and refrain from choosing an esoteric thesis topic. Mellon had yet to choose a location for his own hospital when he sailed to Haiti to study tropical ulcers for his med school research project in 1952. There, he found a spot where a hospital was desperately needed. It was the Artibonite Valley, long denuded of its rich mahogany forests and suffering from an abundance of residents and a scarcity of fertile land.
The 610-square-mile area held 180,000 people, with only two small public health clinics to serve them. Haitian president Paul Magliore granted the Mellons some land and buildings on the site of an abandoned Standard Fruit Co. banana plantation in the small town of Deschapelles. They started construction of the modern facility in the backwoods some five hours north of the teeming city of Port-au-Prince. Today, the hospital building itself has changed little from when it opened in 1956. T
he 108-bed, one-story, fieldstone hospital has two operating rooms, a laboratory, X-ray facilities and a pharmacy. The hospital has its own water system, electric power, machine and vehicle shops, laundry and food services. Although the physical structure of the main hospital is much the same, the services and programs have expanded to include 12 satellite health clinics staffed by trained Haitian volunteers and preventive and community education activities with a special emphasis on HIV and women's health.
Annually, hospital staff members perform about 2,000 surgical procedures and see more than 60,000 people in the outpatient clinic. Nearly 100,000 outpatients are treated each year in the outlying health clinics. Haitians make up 90 percent of the hospital staff of 550. Most of the area has no electricity, limited access to safe water and no community sewer system. Contact is limited to e-mail four times a day for 15 minutes or mail delivered each day from Port-au-Prince by a hospital driver.
The Schweitzer Hospital, the only hospital the Nobel laureate ever allowed to use his name, provides essential services to the Artibonite Valley residents. "The Albert Schweitzer Hospital is known as the best in the country," Dyment says. "But most Haitian doctors don't want to work there." Remote and lacking conveniences such as telephones, televisions and newspapers, a position at the hospital may seem unattractive to any up-and-coming physician.
"Western doctors who visit are really needed, and it's obvious that when you get there they really appreciate your helping out," Dyment says. "They're very organized with their volunteers--so organized it's a blessing." Volunteers pay their own way to Haiti, where a hospital employee meets them at the airport and takes them on the five-hour drive along the coast and through the river valley from Port-au-Prince to Deschapelles. Once there, they are greeted by signs in Haitian Creole, written as if an English speaker were phonetically spelling 17th-century French.
The hospital entrance sign, written "Antre lopital," is derived from the French "Entrie l'htpital." The sign pointing to the administrative offices reads "Administrasyon." Volunteers are put up in one of the 12 cabins on the hospital grounds, which each volunteer shares with six other people. Electric generators supply power to the hospital and cabins.
The compound wakes at dawn and so begins a day in the hospital and clinic. Dyment and three other pediatricians begin their rounds in the hospital, each with an interpreter. They will care for more than 100 pediatric inpatients each day, sometimes caring for two children in each bed.
During one month at the Schweitzer hospital, physicians have said they see more diseases and distress than they would in a lifetime at most institutions in industrialized countries. Dyment's experiences have been no different. The diseases he has encountered during his trips to Haiti are ones seldom seen in developed areas. "The conditions most often seen are kwashiorkor, which is protein malnutrition, and marasmus, which is calorie malnutrition," Dyment says. "Other common ones are tuberculosis, pneumonia, newborn sepsis, and typhoid fever. Tetanus and malaria are some of the diseases that are seen routinely, but rarely, if ever, occur in the U.S."
Dyment treats plenty of these maladies during his brief experiences at the hospital and takes photographs of the representative cases to show to students and colleagues back home. The goal is not only to educate, but to spur others to volunteer their time. The images and stories behind them are heartrending and shocking.
"This is kwashiorkor," Dyment explains during a recent slide presentation. The image of a frowning young girl fills the slide screen. "The hair gets red and it falls out. There is a swollen abdomen, swollen hands, swollen face and a very unhappy look. This is protein malnutrition. Even when you start feeding them high protein food, they may still die."
Another slide shows a toddler whose face is swollen nearly twice its normal size. "This little girl walked about six hours from her village," he says. "She had an insect bite that got infected. She may lose one eye. Due to starvation, these children's resistance is down and they aren't able to fight off small infections." After a morning in the hospital, the doctors see clinic patients, many of whom have been in line since the early morning to quietly wait their turn in the open-air clinic. They are mostly women and children who have walked miles to reach the compound.
The hospital charges them a nominal fee for the visit, but trades of produce or a chicken are routinely accepted in lieu of money. Each doctor examines dozens of kids in the afternoon, Dyment says. In the hot and humid summers, physicians must take pains to place a piece of wax paper between their hand and the patients' medical charts to keep sweat from smudging the ink.
In the clinic, a doctor might see any of a variety of maladies, perhaps even a case of tetanus in a newborn child from a remote village. The bacteria that cause the disease are introduced to the infant through the mud and ash rubbed on the umbilical cord after birth in an effort to heal the stub.
Although hospital health-education programs have reduced this practice, it's not entirely eliminated. In the two weeks he spent at the hospital last year, Dyment says he saw two such cases. Voodoo, the native folk religion, is evident throughout the country, although hospital staff members are careful not to intrude on voodoo practices unless they are obviously harmful. Neither does the hospital take sides in Haiti's political struggles, a position that many attribute to the institution's survival over the past turbulent decades.
The hospital has instead focused on improving the lives of the area's residents by public health and education efforts such as immunizations and nutritional counseling. The hospital also has helped residents set up small micro-businesses to increase their personal finances. Improving agriculture and animal farming techniques is also a goal of the hospital.
No medical professional can visit or work in Haiti's Schweitzer Hospital without realizing that an emphasis on the preventive and educational objectives of public health is the best way to improve the health of the Haitian people. So was the impression of Donald Krogstad, who, as a young Harvard medical student, spent part of his senior year at the hospital in 1969.
Krogstad--now William Henderson Professor and chair of the Department of Tropical Medicine in Tulane's School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine--says his time in Haiti made a huge impression on him.
"It was a real eye-opener," he says. By way of introduction to the country, the Tontons Macoute, notorious dictator Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier's military henchmen, shot at Krogstad and his fellow students on their way to the hospital. Once there, they were safe from violent harassment, but their introduction to a different type of horror began. "The poverty where the hospital is located is just overwhelming," Krogstad says.
Particularly striking was the extent of malnutrition, seen in the valley residents' red hair, a common symptom of the disease. "When I was there, the poverty and malnutrition was such that essentially every kid had red hair," Krogstad says. "It was just amazing." As part of the hospital's public health component, Krogstad took on a project to demonstrate the prevalence of tuberculosis in the valley. "We found that 8 to 10 percent in our census track had active tuberculosis," he says. "By our standards, [this number] was just truly off the charts and beyond what people can imagine."
On a personal note, Krogstad befriended the Mellons, who visited him in Boston while he was a resident at Massachusetts General Hospital, and where Larry Mellon came for medical treatment for heart problems. During one trip, Krogstad and his wife invited Larry and Gwen Mellon to their student hovel.
"It was a typical student apartment with an oven door that you had to keep a chair in front of because the hinges were gone," Krogstad says. "Larry, having grown up in the Mellon millions, didn't appreciate that, but Gwen did, and she tried to stop him when he grabbed the chair from in front of the oven, but she wasn't fast enough."
After returning to Haiti, the Mellons sent the Krogstads a postcard claiming they had always felt embarrassed about the primitive quarters provided to Harvard students at the Schweitzer Hospital--until they visited the Boston couple's apartment. "We salved their conscience," he says. Another letter from Gwen Mellon remains close to Krogstad's heart. She wrote it in honor of his investiture into the William Henderson Chair at Tulane in 1993. Krogstad read the letter at his investiture ceremony.
Gwen Mellon's letters are to be treasured, agrees Margaret Smith, professor emeritus of pediatrics, and a longtime associate and friend of the Mellons. "I feel guilty not keeping in touch now," Smith says. "Gwen's a wonderful letter writer."
Smith, who met the Mellons during their time at Tulane, also worked with them at the Schweitzer Hospital in the 1960s. "They took me to live in their house with them," she says. "I ate and worked very much alongside them." To demonstrate Larry Mellon's informality and kinship with the valley residents, she relates a story about an event that occurred three decades ago as she and Mellon walked from the house to the hospital on their way to work.
As they made their way through the woods, a man jumped in front of them and complained to Mellon that he had nothing to wear to church. He needed a new shirt-- chemise in French parlance. "Dr. Mellon said, 'What about the chemise I have on?' and the young man said, 'Oh yes, that's very appropriate,'" Smith says. "So Dr. Mellon said, 'Let's exchange.' They stood in the woods and exchanged and the young fellow went off with his chemise on. I don't know whether he went to church with it; I suspect he did. He probably did for the rest of his life."

In this week's share you will find a small brown bag of dried sage. Sage is a herb that I have only recently began to incorporate in my cooking, and I am hooked! Anything roasted in the oven with sage has rich aromatic flavour that keeps me digging into the pan for every last delicious morsel.
I am constantly amazed in learning how many of our common kitchen herbs are beneficial for health in our minds and bodies; sage is no exception to this rule. Our ancestors who relied on plant based medicine would incorporate these tasty plants in culinary exploits for flavour and for the all benefits their consumption brings. These traditional flavours have been passed down through our recipes but are rarely acknowledged for their powerful healing properties.
Sage or salvia literally means good health, to cure or to save, and has been considered a sacred plant by many peoples around the world. Sage is said to act as a digestive aid, especially when served alongside fatty foods. Sage, steeped in hot water to make tea, is reported to sooth coughs, and to reduce perspiration, depression, memory loss, and Alzheimer's disease. Some women use sage for painful menstrual periods, to correct excessive milk flow during nursing, and to reduce hot flashes during menopause. Sage is also used topically, as a poultice, to help fight bacterial and fungal infections. If you would like more information on herbal healing learningherbs.com is a great place to start. As well, a wide variety of books on herbal healing can be found through the Halifax Public Libraries.
This past season the Taproot Herb Division was established. Our mandate is to explore and grow a wide variety of annual and perennial herbs to enhance our CSA and our market. We dried much of what we grew in a walk-in dehydrator. All of our dried herbs have been harvested in the late morning when the plant's potent oils are high in the leaves, for maximum flavour and healing potential. You can look forward to a sampling some of these herbs in the upcoming share boxes. If you are interested in our dried and fresh herbs check out the updated add-ons list, or get in touch with us at email@example.com
I have been using sage, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper tossed with chopped root veggies and squash baked in the oven for 40 minutes at 400 degrees as my staple winter meal. Throw some sausage in the pan and a nice steaming pot of quinoa on the side, and you are sure to nourish all who eat your creations. Sage is also lovely when mixed with butter, or coconut oil, and rubbed on your chicken before it is roasted. I have also been enjoying sage steeped in hot water as a soothing and nutritious tea. It is nice blended with thyme and nettles.
Tonight my friend Amanda is coming over for dinner. I am in the process of making Sage Flat-Bread with Goat Cheese and Roasted Butternut Squash Soup.
I look forward to hearing about your kitchen adventures with Sage.
For the love of herbs,

text: Call to investigate Maskey's TV comments 15 Jan 2013 The DUP has called for an investigation by Stormont's Standards Committee into comments by Sinn Féin's Alex Maskey, during a live debate on UTV Live Tonight, in which he claimed he would join in with stone-throwing in Belfast's Short Strand. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast The MLA's comments were made in the context of continued violence, particularly in and around the east Belfast interface area, arising from the issue of the restriction of the flying of the Union flag at City Hall.Loyalist and nationalist crowds clashed again on Monday night, amid reports that petrol bombs were used to attack local homes on both sides of the community. "There is an ongoing assault against the Short Strand community ..." Mr Maskey said on Monday night, during a debate which also featured the PUP's John Kyle."What we've been hearing tonight is people from the Short Strand throwing stones back and, if they are, they're defending their homes."And if I lived in the Short Strand, I'd be throwing the stones along with those people - because it's disgraceful what those people are having to put up with.Alex Maskey, Sinn FéinDUP chief whip Peter Weir confirmed on Tuesday that he had submitted an official complaint."These are not comments appropriate for any MLA, let alone one who is a former Policing Board member," he said."Members of the Assembly are bound by a Code of Conduct which requires them to uphold the rule of law and promote good relations. I have asked the Commissioner to investigate if Mr Maskey's comments are in contravention of the Code."Mr Weir added: "All violence is wrong and police officers in particular have borne the brunt of this, with many officers injured by the very stones Mr Maskey talked of."He must now immediately withdraw the comments and apologise for his outburst."During a Stormont debate on Tuesday morning, Ulster Unionist Party leader Mike Nesbitt said he had been "shocked" by the remarks that had been made."I condemn the violence visited upon the residents of the Short Strand. Why does Mr Maskey condone the violence coming out of the Short Strand?" he said."Mr Maskey is worried someone is going to get seriously injured. So am I. He calls for leadership. So do I."Some unionists on the lower Newtownards Road think leadership means me standing with them on the streets. I think it means offering a path that takes them off the streets, to a political place where they can have hope of delivery on the issues that concern them."Amid much focus on the issue in the chamber, Mr Maskey spoke out strongly against the violence that had been seen on the streets."I want to make it very clear, I do not want to see one stone thrown ..." he said."But you cannot fault a family who has no other option than to defend their home."Mr Maskey also warned Northern Ireland is being dragged into a dangerous cycle of violence that is putting lives at risk.We need to understand what sort of leadership is required. Is it to justify violence? Not in my book.Mike Nesbitt, UUPThe DUP's Paul Givan challenged Mr Maskey over the nature of his comments."What we need is unequivocation - violence is wrong, from wherever it comes, under whatever circumstances that it comes," he said."That's the position that we have and I would invite the parties opposite, particularly that member (Alex Maskey) to reiterate that that's the position he holds."In a statement, issued in the wake of UTV Live Tonight being aired, UUP MLA Tom Elliott had branded Mr Maskey's comments "outrageous and totally irresponsible".But speaking to U105's Frank Mitchell on Tuesday morning, he added: "I do understand the frustration, not only of him, but the people living in interface areas - and indeed the unionist people of the community who are not out protesting or engaging in violence."However, Mr Elliott insisted that the remarks about stone-throwing did go too far and that they should be withdrawn."I think once you go a step further and say that you would be prepared to engage in throwing stones across the interface, I don't think that's helpful - especially at a time like this," he said."Tensions are extremely high and we need to do what we can to calm those situations down."Mr Elliott did not accept that there was any comparison with heated comments he has himself made previously, including those about the GAA in his Fermanagh/South Tyrone constituency.He said that Mr Maskey should simply retract the comments and continue to engage with the local community, and with the police and elected representatives, to try to find a solution.During the UTV Live Tonight debate, Mr Maskey had earlier insisted that he wanted to see total calm brought to the streets."I don't want to see any person attacked - any police officer having a petrol bomb fired at them and certainly no homeowner or their family with a petrol bomb thrown at them, or anybody throwing stones in the area," he said.What he should have said is that, if he lived in Short Strand, he would have done everything he could to stop people throwing stones.Stewart Dickson, AllianceAlliance Party chief whip Stewart Dickson said that Mr Maskey should not have said that he would get involved in stone throwing if he lived in the Short Strand."In saying these words, he is providing legitimacy to those who have been carrying out the violence we have seen in recent weeks," he said."All sides need to tone down the language that they use in order to reduce the tension."We have all seen that there has been violence coming from both sides. So the last thing the police need is a politician providing some sort of justification to this trouble."

Matilda Rausch
Oct. 19, 1883
Bruce County
Ontario, Canada
Sep. 19, 1967
Arrondissement Brussel-Hoofdstad
Brussels-Capital Region, Belgium
Oakland University benefactor Matilda Dodge Wilson was born Matilda Rausch on October 19th 1883 in Walkerton, Ontario, Canada, to German immigrant saloon keepers George and Margaret Rausch. In 1902, Matilda Graduated from Gorsline Business College and went to work as a secretary for Dodge Brothers Motor Car Company in Hamtramck Michigan, where she met her first husband automotive pioneer John Dodge. On December 10th 1907, Matilda married John Dodge and a year later, they purchased a 320-acre farm named Meadowbrook near Rochester, Michigan. This was the first of nine farms that eventually made up the Meadowbrook acreage and the family often went on weekend retreats to Meadow Brook Farms. Matilda and John had three children: Frances (b. 1914), Daniel (b. 1917) and Anna Margaret (b. 1919). On January 14th 1920, John Dodge died of influenza in New York, New York, while attending an auto show with his younger brother Horace. At this time, Dodge Brothers Motor Car Company was standing at second place in American automotive sales. In December the same year, his brother Horace died of cirrhosis of the liver at his winter home in Palm Beach, Florida. Close friends of the brothers say Horace died out of grief at the loss of his older brother, with whom he was very close with. Dodge Brothers Motor Car Company fell into the hands of the brothers' widows, who promoted long-time employee Frederick Haynes to the company presidency. Matilda was now left with three young children of her own, as well as three from Dodge's first marriage. She was also one of the wealthiest women in America. Sadly in 1924, her youngest daughter Anna Margaret died from complications following the measles. One year later, the Dodge Brothers Motor Car Company was sold by Matilda and her sister-in-law Anna Thomson Dodge to the investment banking firm Dillon, Read & Company for $146 million dollars. (at the time, the largest cash sale of an American company). The same year in 1925, Matilda married her second husband, lumber broker Alfred Gaston Wilson. Soon after, Matilda and Alfred moved into a farm house on the Meadowbrook property where they lived durring the construction of their new home Meadowbrook Hall. Once there, Matilda, with energy and attention to detail, supervised the construction of a Tudor revival style mansion as well as the construction of new farm buildings. Before his death, John Dodge was in the process of constructing a $4 million dollar house that measured approximately 80-88,000 sq feet in Grosse Pointe, Michigan which included a man made penninsula on Lake St. Clair to accomodate his brothers yachts on visits. His home would have been the largest in that area and the State of Michigan. Matilda, after disputes with her stepchildren over Johns estate and being snubbed by Grosse Pointe society, abandoned Johns dream and from 1926-1929 ended up constructing the $4-million dollar Meadowbrook Hall. In 1929, less than a month after the stock market crash, Matilda and Alfred held a housewarming party at their new home. In 1930 Matilda and Alfred adopted two children: Richard, at 18 months, and Barbara, at 3 months. In 1931, Matilda became chairman of the board at Fidelity Bank & Trust Co, and Time magazine named her the "most prominent woman in U-S. banking." During the same year, she was elected to the State Board of Agriculture, the governing board of Michigan State University. She served as an MSU trustee from 1931 to 1937, and was named trustee emeritus in 1960. Sadly tragedy struck again. On August 15th 1938 her 21 year old son, Daniel, died while on his honeymoon due to the result of a explosive going off in his hand to which he thought was a candlestick. By 1940, Matilda was appointed the first woman lieutenant governor of Michigan by Governor Luren Dickinson. Also by this time, John Dodges home in Grosse Pointe, standing vacant for 20 years with a tax bill of more than $7000.00 a year was sold to a developer, demolished and the land was subdivided to construct smaller stately homes. In 1955 Matilda received an honorary doctor of law degree from Michigan State University. Two years later in 1957 Matilda and Alfred donated their 1500 acre estate, its buildings and a $2 million dollar endowment, to Michigan State University to found a branch of the university in Oakland County. At this time, she also received the Distinguished Service Cross from the Salvation Army. The new MSU branch eventually became the independent institution Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. On April 6th 1962, Alfred Wilson passed away from a heart attack. Matilda would live alone in Meadowbrook Hall until her death of a massive heart attack on September 19th 1967 at the age of 83 in Brussels, Belgium, where she had gone to tour horse breeding farms, searching for new blood for her line of Belgian draft horses. Meadowbrook Hall is now the fourth largest historic house museum in America at 88,000 sq feet (110 rooms). Matilda's contribution to the public saved Meadowbrook Hall from the wrecking ball and the Matilda R. Wilson Fund (the result of John Dodges fortune)awards grants yearly towards charitable causes. John Dodge frequently played golf on the grounds here and for nearly 30 years, the Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance car show has been held at Meadowbrook Hall and is considered to be one of the most prestigious events of its kind in the world. In the 1930s, Matilda and Alfred Wilson constructed a pink granite art deco style mausoleum with a pink marble interior. It is located next to the Dodge mausoleum where her first husband was laid to rest in 1920. Special thanks to email@example.com for the photo touch-ups.

Janice Miller has been driving bus for the Lansing School District for 16 years. She says drivers blow past her bus - while the stop sign is out as she's picking up and dropping off kids - on a daily basis.
When that happans, she blows her horn, signaling the kids to freeze. She also takes down plate numbers of the offending cars and reports them to police dispatch.
This Wednesday morning, police and the district were more proactive. Eight officers worked in teams of two, making sure drivers followed the law. One officer rode the bus with the kids... radioing to their partner in the cruiser when a car ignored the bus' stop sign.
On this day, only one person was cited for failure to stop. But, the message for people to recognize when children are getting on and off the bus is being sent. And, future operations will take place.

CAMERON - Although the three-story new Cameron Middle and High School Complex is a huge space with plenty of room to learn, librarian Pam Schimmel couldn't get a nagging question out of her head - What if someone gets hurt?
Schimmel was concerned getting from one end of the building to another can be quite a task and in the event of emergency could cost valuable time. This concern inspired Schimmel to look into providing wheelchairs to place throughout different points of the school in case a student, teacher or visitor gets sick or has an accident and needs to be transported quickly to obtain treatment.
"People tease that you can lose weight by walking around this building," Schimmel said. "But what happens if a student or teacher gets hurt or faints or twists their ankle? There was a wheelchair in the nurse's station, but what if you are in the math labs at the other end of the building?"
Article Photos
Photo Provided
Cameron High School Principal Jack Cain thanks Jason Bucher, executive director at the Cameron Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, for the center's donation of a wheelchair for the building.
She noted an incident in the old Cameron High School building when an individual got sick at the school on a Saturday, but no one had keys to the office where the only wheelchair was stored.
"That got me thinking we need wheelchairs in different parts of the building," Schimmel said. "If we had a wheelchair at a central location, it would make it easier to get someone to an elevator."
To date, Reynold's Memorial Hospital has provided a wheelchair and Cameron Nursing and Rehabilitation Center added two new transport chairs. These chairs have been placed in a copy room, which teachers can access at anytime, and in two teacher workrooms. She noted moving into the new building was a good time to add wheelchairs since the building is completely handicap accessible.
Schimmel is not done though. She still hopes to get a minimum of three more chairs to put near the school's middle and high school gyms, which she said do not have direct access to the outside of the building.
She said this would be a good place to assist visitors coming to see basketball or volleyball games who might fall on the bleachers and would need quick transportation to the office.
"Cameron helps Cameron and we want to be able to give back for an individual who comes in and needs a little help," she said. "Time is valuable and sometimes its a matter of life or death."
If you have an adult wheelchair or transport chair and would like to assist in Cameron's project, call Pam Schimmel at 304-686-2143 or Principal Jack Cain at 304-686-3336.

Amid Egyptian efforts to broker ceasefire between Israel and armed Palestinian groups, two rockets fired from Hamas-ruled territory towards Ashkelon overnight; one apparently intercepted by Iron Dome; no injuries
Ynet reporters
Latest Update: 06.21.12, 14:17 / Israel News
Ynet reporters
On Wednesday the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades said Gaza's armed groups are ready to end current round of escalation, but the rocket fire on south Israel continues: Two rockets were fired from the Hamas-ruled
territory towards Ashkelon overnight Thursday.
One rocket was intercepted by the Iron Dome
missile defense system, while the second rocket landed in an open area south of the city. No one was hurt.
Related articles:
At approximately 1:30 pm a Qassam rocket fired from the Gaza Strip landed in open territory in th Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council. No one was wounded and no damaged was caused.
Earlier, at around 7:30 am, five rockets landed in the Negev's Eshkol Regional Council, but there were no reports of injuries or damage.
"The parents' committee representatives told me their children barely slept last night because of the sirens, and some of them suffer from anxiety. After consulting with security officials I decided to keep the schools closed," the mayor said.
"Despite the attempts to reach a ceasefire, two rockets were fired at the city overnight. We cannot count on it. The residents' safety is the most important thing."
High school and middle school students have already begun their summer vacation.
Hamas' announcement followed efforts by Egypt
to broker a ceasefire. The past three days have seen Gaza terrorists shell southern Israel almost incessantly, with over 120 Qassam rockets and mortars hitting western Negev communities.
"The current confrontation with the enemy was kept to a minimal exchange of fire – and it is best that the Israeli leaders understand that," the Izz al-Din al-Qassam statement said.
Despite the statement, at approximately 11 pm Wednesday three mortars were fired towards open areas in the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council. No injuries were reported.
At around 2 am the "Color Red" alert system was activated in Ashkelon and blasts were heard in the city – apparently due to the interception of a rocket by the Iron Dome system.
The current round of violence began on Monday when two Islamic Jihad
terrorists were killed while trying to target IDF vehicles. Another six Palestinians were killed in an Israel Air Force strike in Gaza since then.
According to the Palestinians, a 14-year-old boy was killed Wednesday in an aerial attack on Gaza City. is father was injured, the sources claimed.

The tanker driver whose truck was struck by a train Sunday in Rankin County has died.
Officials confirmed Michael Daniels, a contractor for Airgas in Star, was pronounced dead Tuesday after several days in critical condition at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.
Daniels was driving his 18-wheeler, which had just been filled with carbon dioxide, across the tracks in Star when his truck collided with a Canadian National Railway locomotive. The truck then exploded.
Two crew members aboard the train were injured, but their conditions were not believed to be life-threatening. Their names have not been released.
The circumstances of the collision are under investigation.

I don't know what I expect to get out of this, but here it goes:
Basically, I'm bored--not just now, but every day, for most of the day. I feel like everyone has something that they 'do'--a sport or hobby or something--but I don't. Of course, that's no one's fault but mine. While I've tried and enjoyed several sports/hobbies, my head always seems to get in the way (figuratively speaking) and ruin it for me.
With biking, I worry about something going wrong (getting a flat or having something stolen and being far from help) or needing to buy more stuff ("sporty" clothes for riding, cleats, bags, lights, tools, etc)--in case you can't tell, I like to keep stuff simple. Plus, I like riding to some place, but the only place I go is school/work and the grocery store.
Rock climbing (bouldering, specifically) was alright, but most places are fairly limited in terms of places to do it. Roped climbing requires a partner and varying amounts of gear.
Photography was okay, but I kinda want something to keep me in shape. Also, I don't care for the (seemingly) increasing technological nature of it. And I'm not involved in anything worth photographing.
Hmm, this is making me feel even worse. I'm going to try to sleep. I'll probably regret posting this in the morning...
EDIT: I don't think the problem is finding something that I like doing--it's accepting all of the less-than-ideal circumstances that come out of that something. Anyone else have this problem?

8. Anonymous: D Magazine editor Tim Rogers won a National Magazine Award in May 2012 for his April 2011 story about Barrett Brown, a Dallas man who claimed to speak on behalf of an international hacker collective that exposes the secrets of any group or person whom they believe deserves a public flogging—especially governments and corporations. Rogers' prize, and the fact that Brown was arrested by federal agents in September, brought readers' attention back to this article.
"Brown first began collaborating online with Anons in 2006, though an informal organization didn't exist at the time—much less a formal one that denies its own existence. These were just kids idling on websites such as EncyclopediaDramatica.com and the random imageboard /b/ on 4chan.org. They were interested in arcane Japanese web culture and, of course, pictures of boobs. 'Everyone there was anonymous,' Brown says, intending a lowercase 'a.' 'It just started as a joke.'"

Get Yoast SEO Data
By Dean Andrews | Posted on October 30, 2012
I love the On-page Optimisation in MOZ. This feature allows you to enter your focus keyword against a page for the url you wish to score.
Personally I add my focus keywords with a label just to keep it tidy when reporting back. However you can not extract the url from the database as it is created via the get_permalink() or get_page_link() functions.
I created GetYoastData which outputs to the browser the required data that can be saved into an csv (Excel) file.
Grab the code below and save it to a file called GetYoastData.php
Upload via FTP to the root directory (where the wp-config.php file is)
Visit page www.YOUR-DOMAIN.COM/GetYoastData.php

Hi, this is exactly what I need but unfortunately when added to the root directory of my site the yoast data is not retrieved – just the headers and a blank page are displayed.
I don't have a config.php anywhere within my WP setup – there's the usul wp-config.php in the root. Any idea why it doesn't work?

Hi Dean, I have uploaded GetYoastData.php to the same location as wp-config.php (your instructions say config.php but I guessed you meant wp-config.php) but it doesn't work. Maybe there's something in my wp-config.php that stops it working?

Have you also created a way of importing modified data back into the Yoast plugin?
September 12, 2014 (12:49 pm)
I just tried your php-file, but I just got the header as described above. Might it be, that there came some changes with the latest updates of WordPress (4) or the Yoast plugin?
Would be great if you could check it again. Tried it with wp3.9.2 and 4.0
September 12, 2014 (2:10 pm)
I tried it on 2 different pages and updated everything. So it's WP4 and Yoast 1.6 now, but still don't get the list. File is in the same folder as the wp-config.php

x wrote:
> Mommy, what if we are cranks and we don't know it ?
It is an interesting question, isn't it? Unlike trolls, cranks don't
that they are cranks. The personality disorder of a troll is merely that he is anti-social; the personality disorder of a crank actually reaches the clinical level, involving delusions of grandeur and even paranoia.
So it's not sufficient to say "I don't think I'm a crank, therefore I'm not a crank" because *everyone* thinks that. One has to test against external markers.
One test would be to go in to a newsgroup on a topic one was familiar with. If one is quite shy and doesn't say much, one is probably not a crank. But perhaps one posts a lot. Are one's ideas greeted with a mix of agreement and disagreement? That would be normal. Are one's ideas greeted with universal derision? Does one then hypothesize that all the posters there are in cahoots against you? That would be a sign that one was a crank.

Mixing it up with 'Biscuit' Miller
Biscuit Miller and The Mix
WHERE: Charleston Brewing Company, 702 Quarrier St.
WHEN: 8 to 11 p.m. Saturday
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Dave "Biscuit" Miller turned down the stereo right after he answered the phone. He made it a point to say he was listening to music and not watching television.
In fact, Miller, who performs Saturday at Charleston Brewing Company, said he often wonders why he even bothers to keep a TV in the house.
"I guess for the news," he said.
Otherwise, he mostly just listens to music. It's something he's done since he was a kid, hanging around his grandmother's kitchen in Chicago.
"That's all she did was play music," he said. "There was always music on when I was little, and it lingered."
Miller owes his grandmother a lot. He learned a lot, although not a lot about cooking.
"I was doing more on the eating side," he laughed.
And it was the eating that got him his blues name. One day, just before supper, Miller polished off an entire pan of his grandmother's biscuits. His family teased him about it, calling him "Biscuit," and the name stuck.
Miller learned to love music listening to the radio in his grandmother's house, but he said he didn't grow up in a musical home.
"I had an uncle who played guitar," Miller said, "but he didn't do anything with it, you know, didn't pursue it as a career or anything."
Miller got into the blues through the public schools and blues great Willie Dixon.
"I went to school with Willie's kids," he said, "and Willie did one of the first blues programs in Chicago. Once, he brought in this little kid named Lucky Peterson."
Peterson was about 5 years old at the time and had been performing a cover of James Brown's "Please Please Please" called "1-2-3-4." Around the time he performed at Miller's school, Peterson also appeared on "The Tonight Show," "The Ed Sullivan Show" and "What's My Line?"
Miller said hearing the band play excited him and made him want to play music.
"It just looked like so much fun."
A short time later, while playing at a friend's house, he spied a bass guitar sitting in a corner.
"I'd never seen anybody playing it," he said.
Miller picked it up, and the noise that followed attracted his friend's older brother, Darnell.
"He came down the stairs, screaming," Miller said. "He was screaming, 'Don't touch my bass,' but he was just joking."
Darnell showed him how to play a little. By the time Miller got home, he wanted a bass of his own, so he went through the Sears big book holiday catalog, found a listing for the instrument and showed it to his grandmother.
He said, "I don't remember if it was for Christmas or for my birthday."
Miller's birthday is just after Christmas.
"I told her I wanted a bass," he said, "and she ended up getting it for me."
When Miller was a kid, he said there was always a lot of blues music around Chicago. It wasn't hard to find other musicians to play with, and people were always glad to show a young musician what they knew.
"Back then, everybody wanted to get together," he said. "You'd get a guitar and a bass and some guys, and you'd just go to somebody's house and jam."
It was a different time.
"The younger generation doesn't get together like we did," he said. "People do things differently."
Miller became a regular sideman. He played with bluesman Tony Rogers and then Mojo Buford, two of blues icon Muddy Waters' bandmates.
"I even played a little with Prince -- just for a little while," Miller said.
And then he worked with blues great Lonnie Brooks for 10 years, before deciding to strike out on his own a few years ago.
"I was getting on up in my 50s," he said. "I'd done all this playing with everybody else, and it just seemed like time. I can play this bass fairly well and I can sing a little bit and I know how to smile."
Miller stays busy. He plays constantly and records, but he said he was looking forward to getting back to West Virginia, where he plays often.
"I try to stay connected to West Virginia," he said. "The people there are so nice to us. It's that Southern soul hospitality, I guess."

Before even thinking about hiring a locksmith, you first have to realize that locksmiths do a lot of different things – and if you pick one at random, he may not be able to handle your job. The assignments a good technician can handle include emergency lockouts, home rekeying or lock changing, commercial access problems, and making new keys. The products he needs to work on can range from simple locks or door locks, alarm systems and intercoms, to CCTVs, access controls, ironworks, and safes. The doors can be glass, metal, wood or other substances, and the locks can be old-school or state of the art electronic. A lot of locksmiths can't handle all of those jobs. Make sure yours can take care of what you need.
Your Guide To Hiring A Locksmith
It's said that "locks are made to keep honest people very honest." That's probably true, but how do you assess the honesty of your locksmith?
There are millions of people advertising their services as a locksmith, even if they're not trained or qualified. That's why it's important to verify the credentials of the company you want to hire. When looking for a Matthews NC home locksmith, or searching anywhere else in the state (or in the US), the first step is to check with the Better Business Bureau to make sure there aren't a lot of outstanding complaints against the firm or individual. Then, check to see if they're licensed as a locksmith. In North Carolina, anyone advertising needs to have a state license, and they should readily provide their license number when asked. If you're not sure about them, just check with the state to make sure the license is valid. In the UK, the company should be licensed by the Master Locksmiths' Association, or MLA. This body is recognized in the UK as the authoritative body for locksmithing by the home office, setting and promoting standards of conduct, practice and materials for trade. If you live in a different country, check with authorities for the professional organization or municipal license that's needed for qualified locksmiths.
A good locksmith will have had at least some professional training, so ask what sort of education or apprenticeships are required by the company you're looking at. Asking for references is a great idea, in order to speak with customers who have already used the company and can tell you how satisfactory their work was. It's not out of line to describe your problem in general when interviewing a locksmith, and asking what general approach they would take to solve the issue, or if they can suggest other solutions.
Of course, you should also consider the cost. A reputable locksmith will give you a complete estimate before starting work, including the cost of any repairs or unexpected add-ons which might come up during the job. Getting several estimates, particularly for big jobs, will save you a lot of grief in the long run when you get the final bill. Some companies also charge extra for work on nights or weekends, so don't forget to ask about that when comparing locksmiths.
Unless you're dealing with a real emergency, like being locked out of your car on a snowy night in Matthews NC, it's always best to do lots of research before entrusting your car, home or property to someone you've never met before.

It's one of those days: despite the Iraq conflict spilling out of control and about to involve US drones and warplanes, despite China's naval conflict with Vietnam over an oil rig in disputed territory set to go "kinetic" at any moment, despite the Ukraine civil war having its deadliest day yet this weekend and adding insult to injury Russia halting gas supplies to Ukraine (letting Kiev and Berlin fight for the scraps), despite crude prices rising ever higher and about to unleash a "discretionary income" shockwave on America's summertime motorists, despite yet another massive tax inversion M&A deal in which the buyer has made abundantly clear its stock is overvalued and will be used as the purchasing currency, stocks are inexplicably not at all time highs this morning.
Oh wait, we know: it must be because that $29 trillion central banks have quietly invested in stocks and other asset classes is clearly not enough. Expect a few more billion to be promptly injected by central printers into the "unrigged, unmanipulated" policy vehicles whose only purpose is to boost consumer confidence these days, now that only central banks, prop desks and robots are still trading.
The Shanghai Comp (+0.75%) outperformed overnight, benefiting from upbeat comments from China Premier Li, who stated that the government is confident that this year's 7.5% target will be met and also after the PBoC expanded the number of lenders eligible for cuts to their reserve-requirement ratios.
Sentiment remained somewhat cautious in Europe this morning, amid the uncertainty over the recent rise in geopolitical tensions in Iraq and after Russia has reportedly stopped gas supplies to Ukraine after it missed a bill payment deadline. European shares remain lower with the telecom and financial services sectors underperforming and basic resources, health care outperforming. The Spanish and Italian markets are the worst-performing larger bourses, the Swiss the best. The euro is little changed against the dollar. Greek 10yr bond yields rise; French yields decline. Commodities gain, with soybeans, silver underperforming and nickel outperforming. U.S. Empire manufacturing, NAHB housing market index, industrial production, capacity utilization due later.

Sentiment remained somewhat cautious in Europe this morning, amid the uncertainty over the recent rise in geopolitical tensions in Iraq and also after Pro-Russian separatists shot down a Ukrainian military transport plane, killing all 49 people on board, which was the deadliest day in the recent unrest in eastern Ukraine. Adding fuel to the fire were reports that Russia has reportedly stopped gas supplies to Ukraine after it missed a bill payment deadline.
There was little in terms of tier 1 macroeconomic releases this morning, with the Eurozone CPI data coming in line with prev. and in turn offering little new information for market participants to digest. Similar reaction was observed to weekend comments by ECB's Coeure who said ECB would stand ready to do more if the Bank still sees extended period of low inflation later on, together with comments by ECB's Weidmann who has rejected calls from France and Italy for a purposeful devaluation of the EUR.
Policy divergence between the BoE and the ECB continued to manifest itself, with comments by BoE's Bean who said higher interest rates should be welcomed, together with S&P's decision to revise the UK's outlook up to stable from negative leading to underperformance of UK rates.
Risk averse sentiment meant that stocks traded lower since the get-go in Europe this morning (Eurostoxx 50, -0.50%), with financials underperforming as widening credit spreads made high beta plays look less attractive. In stock specific news, Actelion shares surged over 10% after company's experimental heart and lung drug Selexipag met its primary goal in a late-stage study. In terms of US related news, Medtronic has agreed to buy Covidien for USD 42.9bln in cash and stock as it transforms into a broader based Co. bolstered by new tax advantages. Medtronic will pay the equivalent of USD 93.22 for each Covidien share, a 29% premium over the Co.'s Friday closing price of USD 72.02. (BBG)
General risk averse tone meant that GBP/USD failed to hold onto its best levels of the session after moving above 1.7000 level for the first time since August 2009 amid monetary policy divergence between the BoE and the ECB, together with comments by BoE's Bean and S&P UK upgrade. Elsewhere, JPY benefited from the ongoing flight to quality, with USD/JPY and EUR/JPY trading lower overnight and in Europe this morning. At the same time, rising precious metal prices failed to support AUD, which too suffered from depressed sentiment for riskier assets.
Geopolitical concerns continued to support gold and silver prices overnight and in Europe this morning, with spot gold rising to its highest level in three weeks and silver rising for sixth day in what is the longest rally since February.
Elsewhere, iron ore futures fell to its lowest level since April 2013 overnight as concerns over the oversupply and the recent probe into collateral financing in China weighed on sentiment. On the other hand, copper prices rose for a second day as and remained supported overnight as the Qingdao Port probe has reduced the supply of copper in the short run.
* * *
DB's Jim Reid concludes the overnight recap
Taking a look at markets to start the week, geopolitical concerns in Iraq and to a lesser extent Ukraine are weighing on risk sentiment. Over the weekend it was reported that Sunni insurgents had made further progress in northern Iraq but their progress in advancing on Baghdad had stalled as PM Maliki's government forces countered ISIS momentum about 100km from Baghdad's city limits.
There are also growing indications that the conflict may widen - the Guardian wrote over the weekend that Iran has sent 2000 advance troops to Iraq in the last few days to help tackle the insurgency. Indeed, the WSJ is reporting that the White House is preparing to open direct talks with Iran about how to provide support to the Iraqi government. The talks are expected to begin this week and mark a rapid move toward rapprochement between Washington and Tehran over the past year. According to the article, the US has begun positioning military assets throughout the region. Brent is up another 0.5% this morning after ending last week 4.3% higher.
With the exception of China and Korea, Asian equities are trading weaker this morning led by the Nikkei (-1.05%). Dollar-yen is down 0.25% today, and there is a firmer bid for treasuries where 10yr yields are down 2bp at 2.58%. Chinese iron ore futures are down 0.5% today amid reports that 17 banks have been drawn in multiple collateral pledging investigations at the port of Qingdao. Losses are feared to run into billions of dollars according to China's Caijing magazine. Iron ore prices are down by one-third in the year-to-date Ukraine may return to the front page today after talks broke down between the Ukrainian and Russian governments over gas prices. Kiev said heading into the negotiations that it was ready to make a $US1.95 billion payment demanded by Gazprom if Russia agreed to cut its ongoing price to $US326 from $US485.50 for 1000 cubic metres of gas. However Putin says $US385 per 1000 cubic metres was his final offer and Gazprom has threatened to turn off gas supplies to Ukraine by 6am GMT today, if the latter's gas debt was not paid on time. The WSJ reports that Ukraine's government has ordered state-owned utility Naftogaz and the local authorities to prepare for a complete halt of Russian gas deliveries on Monday. Naftogaz said the country could meet its gas needs until the end of the summer through its own production and stored gas (WSJ).
Looking ahead at the weekly calendar, the FOMC will take much of the limelight this week but there is also a busy data docket over the next few days. Today we have the Empire State manufacturing survey, industrial production and the NAHB housing market index. On Tuesday, the latest CPI, housing starts and permits will be released. The Philly Fed is due on Thursday with 2yr, 5yr and 7yr treasury auctions also scheduled.
In Europe, the German ZEW survey and UK inflation is released on Tuesday with the BoE MPC minutes from June 5th published on Wednesday. Following Carney's comments last week, the MPC minutes are probably worthy of close inspection. On Friday, EU finance ministers meet to discuss the draft 2015 EU budget in Luxembourg. It's a relatively quiet week in Asia with an update on Chinese property prices, Japanese trade and BoJ minutes on Wednesday. BoJ Governor Kuroda will be speaking on Friday.

I think someone missed the line item where the Fed Reserve accomplices buy the S&P 500 index throughout the day in exchange for a seat at the Bilderberg table.
it's funny because not overreacting to shit halfway around the world that really has very little impact on joe's 9-5 and his consumer spending or mortgage is probably the MOST rationale the market has acted in ages
O Ye of Little Faith, believe, and the stock market faires will magically appear.
apologies ... got caught up in a meeting hence the delay and mishaps in the stock market .... a few computer strokes at the main frame will fix it ... it just that, nothing else ... and nothing else really matter, forget about wars, inflation etc.
Stocks will re-bound as soon as the "market" hears the IMF is thinking proactively:
"At present, the IMF's options are limited to a pure bailout or upfront debt restructuring based on whether the fund considers the country's debt to be sustainable. The mooted idea offers a third way by allowing creditors to agree instead to a "reprofiling" of existing bonds. Maturities would be extended for the duration of the IMF programme with no change to the coupon or principal."
I like that "allowing creditors to agree" part...
" now that only central banks, prop desks and robots are still trading."...
What if that's it? Maybe there IS no one really 'in the market'...and it's all some weird Kabuki-theater and these "all-time highs" are just from a few big players holding the whole thing up themselves, waiting for everyone to 'jump on in'?
LOL!! Let's all just laugh and walk away, go do something else and leave the idiots there...
To say the market is rigged is an understatement. After over 30 years of trading commodities I will flat out state without any reservations that lies and manipulation run rampant. If you think anyone is looking out for the small independent trader you are wrong. An unholy alliance of the Federal Reserve, the government, and the too big to fail has left the rest of us in a precarious position.
For the big boys, its insider information and computer trading, this includes computing patterns that exploit where stops are placed, this improves their ability to wash the weak out of their positions. The bottom-line is that the higher the market goes the more vulnerable it becomes to a major collapse and sudden downward move. More on this subject in the article below.
lies and manipulation run rampant
Gosh.....do you think?
Thanks Captain Obvious!
Today one of the biggest pomo days of the week $2.25 - $3.00 billion, also options ex week.
I thought that the Ukraine situation was "sorted out." Isn't that what precipitated gold's fall from 1390-ish back in March? And then just has free fallen since..
Its still early. They are just looking for a dip somewhere that they can capitalize on as a buying opportunity and then its off to the races again. Shorts get murdered on a regular basis so up is the only game in town. There is way too much money still tied up in this ponzi for them to fail yet. Lets let interest go negative and savings put under greater threat and just wait for the remaining hold out sheep to jump back in ignoring all risk for the sake of not losing out. Only when they have sold nearly all of the worthless paper to the dumb muppets can they let this thing collapse, and if they do it right, maybe not even then. I mean after all, why kill us off when they can keep us a slaves.
and Oil now negative LOL
It's been about 5 years since all executive stock options were re-done at market lows. They about all cashed out... Things will start dropping soon....

RALEIGH � The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for much of North Carolina.
Forecasters say a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain should fall across all but the southeastern part of the state starting around daybreak Friday in the mountains and spreading east throughout the day.
Accumulations should be light. The highest peaks of the North Carolina mountains could see a few inches of snow. Elsewhere, forecasters expect a half-inch to an inch of snow and sleet and a coasting of ice of about a tenth to two-tenths of an inch on trees and power lines. More freezing rain should fall to the south and snow and sleet to the north.
The winter weather advisory doesn't include places like Fayetteville and Kinston and points south.

I think it just comes down to the fact that he doesnt have a good Race setup and in order to crack the top 4 this season Rossi,Jlo,Dani or Marquez are going to have to crash out,Cal makes mistakes riding over his ability.
Theres really nothing wrong with 5th place in a stacked Grid like we have this year,I know the British Fans and Cal himself expects higher but its going to be very hard to step on the podium this season.
