In recent years, the C of this much-publicized vitamin has also stood for controversy. With Linus Pauling and others claiming that vitamin C has the potential to prevent and treat the common cold, flus, and cancer, all of which plague our society, concern has arisen in the medical establishment about these claims and the megadose requirements needed to achieve the hoped-for results. Some studies suggest that these claims have some validity; however, there is more personal testimony from avid users of ascorbic acid than there is irrefutable evidence. There has also been some recent research that disproves the claims about treatment and prevention of colds and cancer with vitamin C. However, in most cases, studies showing vitamin C to be ineffective used lower dosages than Dr. Pauling recommended. Overall, vitamin C research is heavily weighted to the positive side for its use in the treatment of many conditions, including the common cold.
C also stands for citrus, where this vitamin is found. It could also stand for collagen, the protein "cement" that is formed with ascorbic acid as a required cofactor. Many foods contain vitamin C, and many important functions are mediated by it as well.
Vitamin C is a weak acid and is stable in weak acids. Alkalis, such as baking soda, however, destroy ascorbic acid. It is also easily oxidized in air and sensitive to heat and light. Since it is contained in the watery part of fruits and vegetables, it is easily lost during cooking in water. Loss is minimized when vegetables such as broccoli or Brussels sprouts are cooked over water in a double boiler instead of directly in water. The mineral copper, in the water or in the cookware, diminishes vitamin C content of foods.
Ascorbic acid was not isolated from lemons until 1932, though the scourge of scurvy, the vitamin C deficiency disease, has been present for thousands of years. It was first written about circa 1500 B.C. and then described by Aristotle in 450 B.C. as a syndrome characterized by lack of energy, gum inflammation, tooth decay, and bleeding problems. In the 1700s, high percentages of sailors with the British navy and other fleets died from scurvy, until James Lind discovered that the juice of lemons could cure and also prevent this devastating and deadly disease. The ships then carried British West Indies limes for the sailors to consume daily to maintain health, and thus these sailors became known as "limeys." Other cultures of the world discovered their own sources of vitamin C. Powdered rose hips, acerola cherries, or spruce needles were consumed regularly, usually as teas, to prevent the scurvy disease.
In earlier times, humans consumed large amounts of vitamin C in their fresh and wholesome native diet, as apes (another species that does not make vitamin C) still do. Most other animals, except guinea pigs, produce ascorbic acid in the liver from glucose, and in relative amounts much higher than we get from our diets today. For this reason, Dr. Pauling and others feel that our bodies need somewhere between 2,000 and 9,000 mg. of vitamin C daily. These amounts seem a little high to me, given the basic food values of vitamin C. Some authorities feel we need 600–1,200 mg. daily based on extrapolations from the historical herbivore, early-human diet. These levels can be obtained today by eating sufficient fresh food; a diet that includes foods with high levels of vitamin C can provide several grams or more per day.
Ascorbic acid is readily absorbed from the intestines, ideally about 80–90 percent of that ingested. It is used by the body in about two hours and then usually out of the blood within three to four hours. For this reason, it is suggested that vitamin C supplements be taken at four-hour intervals rather than once a day; or it may be taken as time-released ascorbic acid. Vitamin C is used up even more rapidly under stressful conditions, with alcohol use, and with smoking. Vitamin C blood levels of smokers are much lower than those of nonsmokers given the same intakes. Other situations and substances that reduce absorption or increase utilization include fever, viral illness, antibiotics, cortisone, aspirin and other pain medicines, environmental toxins such as DDT, petroleum products, or carbon monoxide, and exposure to heavy metals such as lead, mercury, or cadmium. Sulfa antibiotics increase elimination of vitamin C from the body by two to three times.
Some ascorbic acid is stored in the body, where it seems to concentrate in the organs of higher metabolic activity. These include the adrenal glands (about 30 mg.), pituitary, brain, eyes, ovaries, and testes. A total of about 30 mg. per pound of body weight. We likely need at least 200 mg. a day in our diet to maintain body stores—much more if we smoke, drink alcohol, are under stress, have allergies, are elderly, or have diabetes.
Vitamin C is a very complex and important vitamin. The recommended amounts vary more widely than those for any other nutrient, ranging from 100–80 or 100 grams daily, depending on the condition. C is also the most commonly supplemented vitamin among the general public, because of either the popular press or its good effect, or because of the other common C—the "cold."
Sources: The best-known sources of vitamin C are the citrus fruits—oranges, lemons, limes, tangerines, and grapefruits. The fruits with the highest natural concentrations are citrus fruits, rose hips, and acerola cherries, followed by papayas, cantaloupes, and strawberries. Good vegetable sources include red and green peppers (the best), broccoli, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, asparagus, parsley, dark leafy greens, cabbage, and sauerkraut. There is not much available in the whole grains, seeds, and beans; however, when these are sprouted, their vitamin C content shoots up. Sprouts, then, are good foods for winter and early spring, when other fresh fruits and vegetables are not as available. Animal foods contain almost no vitamin C; though fish, if eaten raw, has enough to prevent deficiency symptoms.
Natural vitamin C supplements are usually made from rose hips, acerola cherries, peppers, or citrus fruits. Vitamin C can be synthesized from corn syrup, which is high in dextrose, much as it is made from glucose in most other animals' bodies. Synthetic ascorbic acid, though it can be concentrated for higher doses than natural extracts, is still usually made from food sources. Sago palm is another fairly new source of vitamin C supplements. It is used primarily as a lower allergenic source than the corn-extracted ascorbic acid.
Functions: One important function of vitamin C is in the formation and maintenance of collagen, the basis of connective tissue, which is found in skin, ligaments, cartilage, vertebral discs, joint linings, capillary walls, and the bones and teeth. Collagen, and thus vitamin C, is needed to give support and shape to the body, to help wounds heal, and to maintain healthy blood vessels. Specifically, ascorbic acid works as a coenzyme to convert proline and lysine to hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, both important to the collagen structure.
Vitamin C also aids the metabolism of tyrosine, folic acid, and tryptophan. Tryptophan is converted in the presence of ascorbic acid to 5-hydroxytryptophan, which forms serotonin, an important brain chemical. Vitamin C also helps folic acid convert to its active form, tetrahydrofolic acid, and tyrosine needs ascorbic acid to form the neurotransmitter substances dopamine and epinephrine. Vitamin C stimulates adrenal function and the release of norepinephrine and epinephrine (adrenaline), our stress hormones; however, prolonged stress depletes vitamin C in the adrenals and decreases the blood levels. Ascorbic acid also helps thyroid hormone production, and it aids in cholesterol metabolism, increasing its elimination and thereby assisting in lowering blood cholesterol.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant vitamin. By this function, it helps prevent oxidation of water-soluble molecules that could otherwise create free radicals, which may generate cellular injury and disease. Vitamin C also indirectly protects the fat-soluble vitamins A and E as well as some of the B vitamins, such as riboflavin, thiamine, folic acid, and pantothenic acid, from oxidation. Ascorbic acid acts as a detoxifier and may reduce the side effects of drugs such as cortisone, aspirin, and insulin; it may also reduce the toxicity of the heavy metals lead, mercury, and arsenic.
Vitamin C is being shown through continued research to stimulate the immune system; through this function, along with its antioxidant function, it may help in the prevention and treatment of infections and other diseases. Ascorbic acid may activate neutrophils, the most prevalent white blood cells that work on the frontline defense in more hand-to-hand combat than other white blood cells. It also seems to increase production of lymphocytes, the white cells important in antibody production and in coordinating the cellular immune functions. In this way also, C may be helpful against bacterial, viral, and fungal diseases. In higher amounts, ascorbic acid may actually increase interferon production and thus activate the immune response to viruses; it may also decrease the production of histamine, thereby reducing immediate allergy potential. Further research must be done for more definitive knowledge about vitamin C's actions in the prevention and treatment of disease.
Uses: There are a great many clinical and nutritional uses for ascorbic acid in its variety of available supplements. C for the common cold is indeed used very widely; its use in the treatment of cancer is more controversial, probably because of the seriousness of the disease and the political environment within the medical system—anything nutritional or alternative in regard to cancer therapy is looked upon with skepticism by orthodox physicians. For the prevention of cancer, there is reason for more optimism about the usefulness of vitamin C (as well as the other antioxidant nutrients—vitamin E, selenium, beta-carotene, and zinc) because of its effect in preventing the formation of free radicals (caused mainly by the oxidation of fats), which play a role in the genesis of disease.
Given the functions of vitamin C alone, it has a wide range of clinical uses. For the prevention and treatment of the common cold and flu syndrome, vitamin C produces a positive immunological response to help fight bacteria and viruses. Its support of the adrenal function and role in the production of adrenal hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine can help the body handle infections and stress of all kinds. Because of this adrenal-augmenting response, as well as thyroid support provided by stimulating production of thyroxine (T4) hormone, vitamin C may help with problems of fatigue and slow metabolism. It also helps counteract the side effects of cortisone drug therapy and may counteract the decreased cellular immunity experienced during the course of treatment with these commonly used immune-suppressive drugs.
Because of ascorbic acid's role in immunity, its antioxidant effect, the adrenal support it provides, and probably its ability to make tissues healthy through its formation and maintenance of collagen, vitamin C is used to treat a wide range of viral, bacterial, and fungal infections and inflammatory problems of all kinds. I have used vitamin C successfully in many viral conditions, including colds, flus, hepatitis, Herpes simplex infections, mononucleosis, measles, and shingles. Recently, vitamin C has been shown in some studies to enhance the production and activity of interferon, an antiviral substance produced by our bodies. To affect these conditions, the vitamin C dosage is usually fairly high, at least 5–10 grams per day, but it is possible that much smaller doses are as effective. Vitamin C is also used to treat problems due to general inflammation from microorganisms, irritants, and/or decreased resistance; these problems may include cystitis, bronchitis, prostatitis, bursitis, arthritis (both osteo- and rheumatoid), and some chronic skin problems (dermatitis). With arthritis, there is some suggestion that increased ascorbic acid may improve the integrity of membranes in joints. In gouty arthritis, vitamin C improves the elimination of uric acid (the irritant) through the kidneys. Ascorbic acid has also been helpful for relief of back pain and pain from inflamed vertebral discs, as well as the inflammatory pain that is sometimes associated with rigorous exercise. In asthma, vitamin C may relieve the bronchospasm caused by noxious stimuli or when this tight-chest feeling is experienced during exercise.

|Associate Head Coach
Curtis Wilson, who was named the associate head coach prior to the start of the 2006-07 season, is in his 10th year as a member of the Yale staff. He works primarily with Yale's frontcourt players. One of his first pupils was Neil Yanke, the captain of the 2000-01 Bulldogs. As a senior, Yanke, a 6-11 center, was named second team All-Ivy after leading the team in rebounding (6.7 rpg) and blocked shots (21) and finishing second in scoring (12.5 ppg). As a junior, he led the team and was second in the Ivy League in rebounding (7.7 rpg) and led the team in blocks with 43, which was third in the conference. After graduating, Yanke signed a free agent contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. Wilson also worked with Dominck Martin '06. Martin finished his career third in Yale history in career field goal percentage (.568) and sixth in career blocked shots (69). As a senior, he earned first team All-Ivy honors after leading the Bulldogs in scoring (13.7 ppg.) and rebounding (7.1 rpg.). He also was named the Ivy League Most Valuable Player by CollegeInsider.com and led the Ivy League in field goal percentage and was fourth in scoring and rebounding. Martin is currently playing professionally in Spain with Real Madrid. Wilson has played a key role in the turnaround of the Yale basketball program. In 2001-02, the Bulldogs won their first Ivy League title since 1962-63 and earned the first postseason tournament victory in the 107-year history of Yale basketball. The team won 21 games, the second most in the modern era of Yale basketball, and reached the second round of the National Invitation Tournament. The Bulldogs have had a .500 or better record in league play in each of the last six years, which hasn't happened at Yale since the official start of Ivy play in 1956-57. Prior to coming to Yale, Wilson spent five years as an assistant to Tom Brennan at Vermont. He also was an assistant for three years at Adelphi. In 1994, Wilson helped guide Adelphi to the Division II ECAC championship. A 1991 graduate of Adelphi, Wilson remains fifth all-time on the Adelphi scoring list with 1,531 career points. A four-time basketball letterwinner and co-captain of the team for three years, he was a New York City Athletic Conference All-Star, winner of the team's Sportsmanship Award as a senior and the Most Valuable Player Award as a sophomore. Wilson received his bachelor's degree in business administration and finance and earned a master's degree in sports management from Adelphi in August, 1994. In the spring of 2001, Wilson was inducted into the Adelphi Athletic Hall of Fame. He resides in Hamden with his wife, Heather, and daughters Aysia, Leigha and Tiffini.

Each year, more than 270,000 pedestrians lose their lives on the world's roads, while millions are left with injuries or permanent disabilities. Pedestrian safety: a road safety manual for decision-makers and practitioners, jointly developed by WHO, the FIA Foundation, the Global Road Safety Partnership and the World Bank, and many experts from around the world, provides practical information on how to plan, implement and evaluate a pedestrian safety programme.
The capacity to respond to pedestrian safety is an important component of efforts to prevent road traffic deaths and injuries. Proven interventions exist, yet in many locations pedestrian safety does not attract the attention it merits. The manual, designed for a multidisciplinary audience including engineers, planners, police, public health professionals and educators, will contribute towards strengthening national and local capacity to implement pedestrian safety measures in settings worldwide.
The manual equips the reader with necessary information on: the magnitude of pedestrian death and injury; key risk factors; how to assess the pedestrian safety situation in a country or area and prepare an action plan; and how to select, design, implement and evaluate effective interventions.
It also draws attention to the benefits of walking, which should be promoted as an important mode of transport given its potential to improve health and preserve the environment. The manual is launched just ahead of the Second UN Global Road Safety Week 6-12 May, dedicated this year to pedestrian safety. The manual can be downloaded in the right column, an 8 page summary of this report will be available shortly.

You can begin or end your hike at hundreds of places between the Appalachian Trail's northern and southern ends. Here's what to expect in Virginia.
More of the A.T. passes through Virginia than any other state, and views from overlooks reveal pastoral scenes that are a mix of forest and farmland.In Shenandoah National Park, you can cross the A.T. more than 30 times without getting out of your car.
Shenandoah National Park, with 104 miles of well-maintained Trail and climbs rarely exceeding 500 or 1,000 feet, is great for beginners.Remember, though, that backcountry permits are required when camping in the park.

Follow Friday - I Can't Afford to Go to NGS2012 !!
Of course, the biggest factor is cost. It costs a lot to go to a conference. Between the cost of the conference itself, which to be honest in my opinion is very reasonable, to the cost of getting there, feeding yourself, going to events, etc. it adds up quickly. If you're lucky, like me, the conference is somewhere you can drive to, but not everyone's so lucky. And, I'm splitting the cost of the room with someone who wouldn't have gone to the conference otherwise, so that was a cost saver and a win-win there as well. (Thanks, Becky...I can't wait to meet you!)
So, what do you do if you CAN'T afford to go. You miss the whole thing, right? Nope! There are lots and lots of ways to get the information about what's happening right here on the Internet. Whether it's blogs, Facebook, Google+ or Twitter, people will be talking about what's happening. In the past I've been able to follow along at the Society of American Archivists convention, American Library Association convention, and even some events I wouldn't have thought of going to but was able to 'attend' through social media.
I'm going to suggest that if you haven't tried Twitter before, now is the time to do it. The benefit of Twitter is that you can follow the entire stream of information by searching the hashtag (the '#' sign) #NGS2012 . Follow @ngsgenealogy for up to the moment (not minute, moment) information also. But, by following the hashtag, you're seeing everything that people are commenting about as it happens. So, for instance, let's say there's a particularly interesting session happening that I'm in, and the presenter provides a pearl of wisdom that everyone goes 'aha'! to: I would tweet it with the hashtag and you'll see it in your stream just like you're there. It's so cool!
There'll be a group of Official Bloggers who will (hopefully) be doing just that: blogging about what's happening at NGS2012. I'm one of them, so I'll be blogging more than I usually do. I know lots of people will be updating their Facebook pages and Google+ streams. Oh, and don't forget LinkedIn!! Lots of Genealogists will be using LinkedIn to provide information about what's new in our Industry.
So, I hope you'll follow along with me as I attend my first NGS conference. I'm excited, nervous, and thrilled at the opportunity to learn what's happening in Genealogy today. And, if you can't afford to go, I'll be there for you. As a matter of fact, if there's something you'd like to know, a vendor you have a question for or a session you're particularly interested in, comment here, or email me or get me on Social media and I'll do my best to get an answer for you!
Oh, did I mention I'm staying with my 2nd cousin Mary Sunday and Monday so I can get some of my own personal research done too? You'll definitely want to keep an eye out for that! Have an awesome Friday everyone!!

I was SO AFRAID when I read your title that YOU were not going to attend. I'm so glad to see that you are. Cost is a huge factor. I'm lucky, this time, as it is in my fair city. Because I plan to attend and participate from morning to night, I'm staying downtown. That should be a real treat for me, and I also have a roommate. Can't wait to see you in four days.ReplyDelete
Yes, a win-win for both of us! I'm so glad to be able to go now. Looking forward to meeting you as well as other geneabloggers at the conference! See you soon...ReplyDelete
How wonderful that you get to go. Your title had me wondering! Of course, I'm jealous.ReplyDelete
And what a wonderful way to extend the trip, by staying with a distant cousin and catching up on research. Hope you find lots to cheer about!

A tombstone honoring a Spanish-American war soldier remains separated from the ground where the man's body was buried because that cemetery has been converted into a dog park.Read the rest of the story here. (Emphasis above added by me.)
CBS Los Angeles reports that a decades-long controversy over a recreational park continued when Cindy Southerland of Carson City Nevada traveled miles to Ventura, Calif. To return a tombstone her husband found in a canyon in the mid-1960's.
The headstone honored Edward Baker, a veteran of the Spanish-American war who died at 44 in 1913.
He was buried at St. Mary's Cemetery, but that land was turned into a recreational space about five decades ago.
Today, dogs and pedestrians play above nearly 3,000 bodies that remain buried at the grave site.
Video from KCAL9
If you haven't heard the sad story of St. Mary's Cemetery, you can learn more at Restore St. Mary's Cemetery. What is truly unfortunate is that the majority of area residents prefer that the property be used as a dog park rather than it's intended purpose of a cemetery.
So... how would you feel to discover that your ancestor's final resting place was now a public potty for dogs?

When a childrens CGI (computer-generated imagery) film is released in the theaters, there is very little doubt as to whether there will also be a video game involved as well. This year weve already seen titles like WALL-E on the Wii that, while not exceptional, managed to provide players with a decent gameplay experience that complemented the film nicely.
The Wii has also been host to the likes of Space Chimps, a game that didnt appear to be entirely finished but could still be amusing to play at times. While the quality of these kinds of games can vary greatly, in the case of Igor: The Game, the acronym CGI seems to stand for complete garbage incoming.
Igor: The Games storyline remains consistent with that of its movie counterpart, a lowly laboratory assistant named Igor sets out to prove the worth of all Igors (name for all hunchbacked lab assistants). With the help of friends, he is able to do so by uncovering an evil plot by King Malbert and eventually saving the Kingdom of Malaria. Unfortunately, awkward and repetitive character animations during in-game cutscenes mixed with the games lackluster graphics guarantee that the story will fail to engage the player. That and the fact that there are absolutely no cinemas from the movie included either.
Even the original voices from the film arent able to salvage your interest, as there are next to no facial animations present, and youll be forced to hear the same phrases repeated more times than youll care to count. The audio, in general, is very poorly done. While youll get quality voice clips and some music from the film, the games sound effects are difficult to hear most of the time. Even when you can actually manage to hear them, they are underwhelming. There are also several times during the game where there seems to be no noise at all, leaving you playing some segments in relative silence. This is just one of many clear indicators that this game was rushed to the market to match the films release date.
As briefly mentioned previously, Igors graphics are another one of these signs. While nobody expects a Wii game to look like what can be found on a PS3 or an Xbox 360, this game is verging on being ugly for an N64 title. Besides the main characters and a few other pivotal characters in the game, there is a serious lack of detail put into everything. Most of the enemies in the game are incredibly simplistic-looking, ranging from walking brains to robot chicks. It is also often rather difficult to tell what is even attacking you, as your enemies always come in massive swarms such that they all blur together. The environments in Igor dont fare much better, consisting of many generic-looking and mostly empty rooms and hallways. The emptiness of these environments is only further accentuated by the games terrible camera, which is often pulled out so far that I began to question if it was attached to a blimp that just happened to always be flying overhead.

Portal Weighted Companion Cube "Fuzzy Dice"
Keep them with you forever
- Companion Cube fuzzy dice from the video game Portal
- Hang them from your rearview mirror or desk lamp
- We assure you they cannot speak
When you're on a journey, whether is through an Enrichment Center or a road trip across the country, faithful companionship is key. And who would make a better companion for such a journey than a Companion Cube? Sheesh, it even has the word COMPANION in its name! And if ONE Companion Cube is great, why not a pair of them, happily attached by a string and jostling each other jovially as you drive into the sunset? Yeah, that does sound pretty darn awesome.
It's rumored that the original fuzzy dice originated because U.S. pilots from World War II often kept lucky dice in the cockpit of their planes. These may not bring you luck, but they'll certainly make your car feel a little less like a vehicle and a little more like a home away from home.
Heck, they'll even talk to you on long drives. Remember, they won't talk to you and if they ever do, you should certainly avoid their advice and proceed to the nearest Aperture Science Emergency Intelligence Incinerator. Now, how about some cake?
Product Specifications
- Companion Cube fuzzy dice from the video game Portal
- Hang them from your rearview mirror, desk lamp, or around your neck (okay, maybe not)
- Who needs d6s or d20s when you can have twin companion cubes?
- We assure you that they can not speak, but if they did, they'd tell you to check your local laws regarding fuzzy dice
- Also, if you do not check local laws, and get a ticket, we'll say, "Who's laughing meow?" Srsly, check 'em.
- Dimensions: Each die is 4 inches on all sides, much like you'd expect from cubes

|Docket No. RM10-21-000
Statement of Chairman Wellinghoff's on transfer of certain hotline matters to DRS
"The action we are taking today is good for consumers and I am pleased to support it. The central mission of the Commission's Dispute Resolution Service is to reach consensual resolution of disputed matters through the use of alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation. These avenues will afford landowners the ability to informally resolve disputes with natural gas pipeline companies, as well as certain disputes relating to hydroelectric projects, expeditiously and informally. This should save the affected landowners time and resources. It is important to note that the Commission's DRS staff has extensive substantive expertise in environmental, natural gas pipeline certificate, hydroelectric, and liquefied natural gas facility matters and DRS already receives and addresses a number of calls from landowners affected by projects under the Commission's jurisdiction. This will not be a new duty, but rather an extension of an existing service. I believe that DRS will provide an appropriate forum to resolve landowner disputes and support this order."

Reviewed by Dylan C. (age 10)
My opinion of The Gypsy Game was that it was a very suspenseful book. It made me want to keep reading it non-stop. It just kept leaving me hanging chapter after chapter, not knowing what was going to happen next. While I was reading this book, I felt confused at times because I had so many questions of why the characters would do certain things. I also experienced other emotions such as being scared, happy and surprised. My favorite part of the book was when Toby hid in the dinosaur's leg. When the book ended, I wanted to read another one of Zilpha's books. I think she is a great author.
I recommend this book to people who like mysteries.

The growth of financial futures has been one of the more remarkable success stories of the latter part of the 20th century. So much so, that it is hard to imagine a world without them — even though their age is a relatively green 40-years-old. It all began with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's International Monetary Market (IMM) and currency futures. Coincidently enough, financial futures are the same age as Futures. With September being our currency focus, we thought it was a great time to sit down with the architect of the IMM, Leo Melamed. Melamed details the difficult steps of getting this new concept for futures off the ground, its early hurdles and how the influence of future Nobel Laureate Economist Milton Friedman legitimized the idea in the eyes of the world's economic leaders.
Futures Magazine: Leo, you have stated in the past that the idea for the International Monetary Market (IMM) was a broad one, encompassing many different kinds of financial futures in multiple sectors. Why were currencies the first?
Leo Melamed: There were a variety of reasons. First of all, currencies were in the news all around the late 1960s and early 1970s. The issue of whether flexible exchange rates would replace the fixed exchange rate system of Bretton Woods was uppermost in the news. You couldn't open a newspaper in 1970 without seeing somewhere in the business pages the discussion about the fixed exchange rate system and the strong voice of Milton Friedman saying that he didn't believe in fixed exchange rates and that they would not be able to be maintained going forward. So I was very cognizant of the currency issue. My main objective at the Merc was to diversify. I was very much conscious of the fact that when I was [just starting out] as a runner at the Merc, [the Exchange] had lost the butter and egg market, [its] dairy products went under and [it was] a one-product exchange.
[We] tried turkeys, potatoes, shrimp, but it was always agriculture because that was the definition of futures. So here is all around me this discussion about currencies and whether the fixed exchange rate would survive, and bingo — the light went on. Why not try currencies?
FM: Did you have much internal opposition?
LM: At the time I was under 30 and all the board of directors were just under 130, I thought (laughes). They all thought this young kid was going to bring the exchange down, like they had such a big deal. But I needed the votes. I needed a credible voice to say it was a good idea and the only credible voice I could think of was Milton Friedman.

Remember when the auto industry started crashing and the government came in and spent our money to prop it up? In 2009, we spent $50 billion on GM, to purchase just over 25% of the company -- 500 million shares. Then remember a few months ago, when President Obama campaigned hard on the premise that they had saved the auto industry? Joe Biden even illustriously cried from the podium at the Democratic National Convention, "Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive!"
So what's all this news now about the U.S. Treasury selling off its GM shares at a loss to taxpayers? Didn't GM already pay off their loans? President Obama praised them as a great example, and GM even said "thanks" to America in a commercial about it. Did they pay back the loans in full and with interest or did they not?
In April 2010, CNN Money reported that GM had repaid the last of its $6.7 billion loans to the U.S. and Canadian governments -- early! And with interest! Yay, the bailouts worked! Or something. The article briefly acknowledges that that loan was only "a fraction of the financial support that the federal government gave to GM … to stop it from going out of business," and mentions that "taxpayers could recoup money from a possible sale of GM stock to the public in the future."
GM paid back its straight up loan of $6.7 billion, but had yet to buy back the $50 billion in shares owned by the government. That wasn't technically a "loan" since we got part ownership of the company, with the promise that they'd buy it back from us someday.
That someday is now, only GM isn't paying us back the $50 billion we put in -- they're only going to give us $25 billion or less, depending on how the market goes over the next year.
Taxpayers loaned General Motors $50 billion, and are getting less than $25 billion back. I know math is hard, but that's a huge loss. And guess where it came from? Your paycheck. That is money you don't have in your pocket because it was lost in a bad investment by your government.
But at least it created jobs and bolstered the manufacturing community, right? Well, according to GM's own annual reports for 2011, they outsource two thirds of their jobs, and less than one in five vehicles are manufactured in the U.S.
GM wasn't saved, the UAW was. Had the company been forced to declare bankruptcy and reorganize, investors could have taken the sum of the parts and potentially built a self-sustaining, job-creating, prosperous new GM. Instead we poured money down the drain to save the status quo and the union.
If GM couldn't continue to operate "as is" in 2009, how are they going to do it in 2013? The government managed to prop up the failing company for a few years and it cost the taxpayers $25 billion. Was it worth it?
Do you think the auto industry bailout was a good idea?

Morehouse Parish has many portholes into the past, with its historical buildings and tales passed down through time.
Morehouse Parish has many portholes into the past, with its historical buildings and tales passed down through time.
Thanks to Bastrop resident John Nelson, individuals can take yet another trip back in time, viewing a large red 1972 Missouri Pacific Railroad caboose, now parked near historic downtown.
"It came from a gentleman in Hamburg [Ark]. He had planned to refurbish it back in 1989, but he never got around to it," Nelson said. "It was starting to deteriorate because no one had cared for it."
Nelson said it seemed like fate that the caboose was slated to be scrapped at the same time he was searching for one to bring to Bastrop.
"I'd been looking for a caboose for about a year now to bring here," he said. "I went to Jackson, Mississippi about four months ago to look at one. That's when I heard about the one in Hamburg, only 30 miles away."
Nelson said the process to bring the caboose to Bastrop was not an easy one.
"I can't tell you the hurdles and challenges I had to go through to bring it here," he said. "Getting through the red tape with the new zoning law and code enforcement was very difficult."
Nelson said due to an oversight in the wording of the new zoning law that went into effect last year, a secondary structure clause prevented him from having an additional structure behind his building in the downtown historic district.
"We were told to submit plans and go to several council meetings. We did that," he said. "We had to go through the historic district. We did that."
Nelson said two women at the city hall were "instrumental in guiding" him "through the process."
"Mrs. [Sandra] Goldman and Mrs. [Charissa] Holmes were so helpful," he said. "We would not have been able to bring caboose here if not for them giving us suggestions on what to do next."
The caboose was brought in Friday and parked behind what is known as the "Jax Building" on South Franklin Street. Nelson purchased the building and began renovating it in 2009.
Nelson said he has plans to "fix up" the caboose and turn it into an overnight guest lodge.
"We're going to put a couple more coats of paint on it and put decals on it. We're going to make it look like its original state," he said. "After we fix up the outside, we're going to put in electrical work, a toilet and a shower. It'll be somewhere nice that people can come and stay the night."
Nelson said although the caboose is still a "work in progress," he plans to have it complete in approximately two months.
"We still have a ways to go before it's looks like it did originally," he said. "We thought it would bring something interesting to the town of Bastrop."

friendsumer - (noun): One who treats friends and the relationships that define them as expendable commodities to be consumed when convenient, depleted, used-up and eventually tossed-away without concern for the norms of social behavior and interaction.
2 comments:
Hahaha, I think it's a perfect word. We met a few last year in Innsbruck. It's amazing to me though that fewer people will take UP offers for visits when you have space. I've run into a million more people that never even tried versus the friendsumers. In a way, I can almost forgive the -sumers, because they're getting out there.ReplyDelete
Thanks for taking the time to share, Jered. Good to know that the friendsumers aren't over-running the planet yet.ReplyDelete
Remember folks - don't forget to say thanks and reciprocate!

Photojournalists Document Life in Chillicothe
Photographers from MU's School of Journalism visit Chillicothe to hone their story-telling skills while adding images to an archive that documents small town life.
A shopping and entertainment center for north central Missouri, Chillicothe touts itself as the "Home of Sliced Bread."
It was the opportunity to learn to capture better "slices" of time, not bread, that brought 40 photographers, a dozen top-flight photojournalists, editors and educators, and a crew of 18 MU students during the last week of September 2007. They traveled across America and from Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Romania, Russia, Singapore, and the United Kingdom, just as their predecessors who visited Chillicothe did in 1963, to hone their story-telling skills while exploring small town America.
The week culminated with a public exhibit of over 400 images at the Livingston County Library.

Ezekiel 37:1-10 "The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, 'Son of man, can these bones live?' I said, 'O Sovereign LORD, you alone know.' Then he said to me, 'Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.' So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, 'Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, that they may live.' So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet - a vast army.
Dry bones of many came together, flesh and skin attached, they became alive and formed an army. [Christianity and Other Superstitions]

Believe it or not, some stupid ministers will preach on this and make a big deal as if it really was true and really did happen. Upon closer reading however, you can see why some today want to throw away the Old Pesterment and just live by the new, claiming everything is about Jesus.
Why is all of this happening? In todays Internet world you cannot escape from the superstition and idiocy of the Old Testament. It's also very easy today to see that claims are made for way too many people to have been raised from the dead. The claims are outrageous and they fear it will take away from the significance of Jesus.
Christians have gotten a little bit smarter but they just won't give up.
It's also very easy today to see that claims are made for way too many people to have been raised from the dead???? Name some, please. I am interested.
Your account here from Ezekiel is the raising of an army. Google it on how many from the bible raised from the dead and you get about 10 others. This did not say anything for the gospel account that on the crucifiction "many graves were opened and the people were seen walking around in the city." It didn't say how many people all together. Some want to claim that even Paul was raised from the dead after his stoning. With so many brought back to life what did "many graves were opened" mean? How many and who were the people? Apparently it wasn't important to say. Under these magical circumstances how could Jesus ever be "the first fruits of the dead?" It looks like resurrection was pretty common back then.
You are right. I had forgotten about that. Now I can add that to a talking snake, a man living in a big fish, a woman turning into a pillar of salt, a talking donkey, a virgin birth and a god who kills every human on earth except for one family and makes a commandment "Thou shall not kill."

JERUSALEM, April 17 (UPI) -- Imprisoned Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti accused the Palestinian Authority of not doing enough to secure his release from an Israeli prison.
On the 11th anniversary of his imprisonment for his role in terror attacks against Israelis, Barghouti, an elected member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, said he can't "explain the official silence."
"For the first time in history, parliamentarians of an occupied people are detained, harassed and tortured while the international community and the Palestinian [leadership] remain silent. This is something that can't be explained," he said Tuesday.
The Israeli government refused to release Barghouti as part of the prisoner swap for soldier Gilad Schalit, The Jerusalem Post reported Wednesday. There were reports he'd be released in February among 500 Palestinian prisoners as part of a goodwill gesture ahead of U.S. President Barack Obama's visit to Israel, though that did not happen.
"Frankly, I believe that there wasn't enough pressure or efforts to force Israel to release me and the prisoners," Barghouti said. "The case of the prisoners was not on the agenda of the negotiations for the past 20 years."
"This is a real tragedy resulting from the Palestinian leadership's shortcomings and negligence," he added. "It's time for the Palestinian leadership to start dealing in a more responsible way with this important national issue."
Barghouti said he spends most of his time in prison studying and teaching other inmates.

Muskegon's Coast West Music Festival Will Not Be Returning
Coast West Music Festival, the event that came in this year to replace Muskegon Summer Celebration, will not be returning in 2014. After only one year of the festival, the Muskegon Festival Group Board announced on Wednesday that Coast West will not return for a second year.
According to our media partners at WZZM-13, this year's initial festival revenue did not meet expectations, and the financial hurdles the festival would encounter in coming years is simply too big to overcome.
The innagural six-day event included performances by the likes of LeAnn Rimes, Chicago, Blue Oyster Cult, Gregg Allman, Foghat, Cheap Trick, O.A.R. and Allen Stone.
Members of the festival board stated that they appreciate all of the fans, volunteers and vendors that supported this year's festival.

DETROIT (AP) — Brett Favre fumbled on his first play of the game. It was about the only mistake he made.
DETROIT (AP) — Brett Favre fumbled on his first play of the game. It was about the only mistake he made.
Favre set a Green Bay record with 20 consecutive completions and finished with a season-high 381 yards and three touchdowns in the Packers' 37-26 victory over the Detroit Lions on Thursday.
The three-time MVP fumbled after his first snap, tripping over a teammate, before putting together another sensational performance that made the 38-year-old quarterback look as if he's back in his prime.
His seventh 300-yard game of the season matched a team mark he set in 1995.
Green Bay (10-1) matched its best 11-game record since 1929 and the NFC North leaders have a four-game lead with five games left in the regular season.
The slumping Lions (6-5) have lost three straight and might struggle to finish .500 in a season that started with much hope and is suddenly looking familiar, coming off six straight double-digit loss seasons.
Green Bay, which overcame a six-point deficit in the first quarter, led 34-12 early in the fourth.
Just when Detroit looked as if it was going to be routed for the fourth straight time in its marquee game, Jon Kitna connected with Calvin Johnson in the end zone and Kevin Jones scored to pull the Lions within eight.
Green Bay got the ball back with 6:34 left and took time off the clock thanks to Favre's accurate passes and Ryan Grant's runs. Mason Crosby's third field goal put the game out of reach with 1:44 to go.
Favre completed 31 of 41 passes, and his streak of 20 straight spanned the first and second halves to surpass the team record of 18 set by Lynn Dickey in 1983 and matched by Don Majkowski in 1989.
The victory was Favre's 148th in the regular season, tying John Elway's NFL record. Favre also extended his league record with his 63rd three-TD game.
Greg Jennings caught two TD passes and Donald Driver had 10 receptions for 147 yards. Ryan Grant ran for 101 yards and a score, giving Green Bay balance on offense as he has recently.
Kitna was 19-of-40 for 224 yards with a TD and an interception. Calvin Johnson had 83 yards receiving and a score. Jones ran for 93 yards and a TD.
Too often, the Lions had to settle for field goals and Jason Hanson made each of his four attempts.
Detroit drove to the Packers 23 twice and their 32 on its first three drives, but came away with just two field goals.
The Lions finally played a game on Thanksgiving that meant something, but ended up losing for the fourth straight time in the holiday to match their worst skid in four decades. Under team president Matt Millen, they are 1-6 in the only game each season that the nation can watch on TV and have fallen to 33-33-2 overall.
Desperate for a win to cling to playoff hopes, Detroit started the game with a 12-play drive and ran on six of its first seven snaps with three different running backs.
But a pass inside the Green Bay 1 was negated when center Dominic Raiola was penalized for a blatant chop block, leading to Hanson's 47-yard field goal.
Favre fumbled on his first play as a pulling guard tripped him while he tried to hand the ball off.
Detroit didn't do much with the opportunity, losing yards and settling for Hanson's 45-yard kick.
The Lions wasted another chance to score on their third possession, driving to the Green Bay 32 only to be forced to punt after Aaron Kampman's second sack of the quarter and 11th of the season.
Detroit had two more breaks toward the end of the quarter, when Green Bay's Jarrett Bush missed a block that would've likely sprung Charles Woodson for a score on a punt return, and Koren Robinson dropped a third-down pass in Detroit territory. Woodson left the game with a toe injury.
Detroit had the ball for 12-plus minutes in the first quarter, picking up six first downs and holding the Packers to none. The Lions ran for 81 yards after being held to 7 in the previous two games
On the first play of the second quarter, the breaks ended for Detroit and soon thereafter so did its lead.
Kitna's hung a pass across the middle for Johnson and it was intercepted. On the next play, Favre threw an 11-yard slant to Jennings to give Green Bay its first lead.
Favre connected with Jennings again in the third and with Ruvell Martin to make it 31-12 after three quarters.

Ince wants to be beside the seaside
Cardiff's plans for their first season back in the top flight in 53 years have been dealt a blow by transfer target Thomas Ince's decision to stay at Championship club Blackpool.
The two clubs recently agreed an £8million fee for the England Under-21 international, who had reportedly agreed personal terms.
Ince met with Cardiff manager Malky Mackay this week and visited the club's Vale training ground, but the winger, who has just become a father for the first time, has opted to stay with Blackpool, who are managed by his father Paul Ince.
A brief statement on Cardiff's official website read: "Cardiff City Football Club can confirm that Blackpool midfielder Thomas Ince will not be joining the Bluebirds.
"Having agreed a fee with Blackpool FC towards the end of June and with the player and agent happy with personal terms offered, Blackpool manager and Thomas' father Paul confirmed on Friday that, due to the recent birth of Thomas' first child this week, the player didn't want to leave his family or the Seasiders at this stage of his life."
Ince, who progressed through Liverpool's academy, made only one senior appearance at Anfield before departing for Blackpool in August 2011 when a compensation fee was agreed between the two clubs.
He has made a total of 88 appearances for the Seasiders, who appointed father Paul as Michael Appleton's permanent replacement in February this year.

Alabama's standard license plate is switching from a coastal scene to the mountains of north Alabama.
The state Revenue Department says the new tag will be available Jan. 1. It will replace the "Sweet Home Alabama" tag that promotes Alabama's coast. State Tourism Department spokesman Brian Jones says the new tag is designed with mountains and a lake reminiscent of north Alabama and is designed to show that Alabama has those attractions. The new license plate doesn't include the "Sweet Home Alabama" slogan that was on the old tag.
The Revenue Department is also coming out with a new "God Bless America" tag Oct. 1. It has the American flag positioned differently, but it still says "God Bless America" across the bottom.

There are many places to linger around the home. One particular spot that would be considered unusual to hang out in is a small alcove just outside the back door. It's one of my favorite social spots to talk with neighbors and to view the shade garden from above.
On a whim, I set up a small table right outside and shared these delicious little afternoon treats with my next door neighbor.
Store-bought puff pastry can be notorious at getting the paper bag syndrome. If you don't know what I mean, it is when the puff pastry develops large air pockets and resembles a blown up paper bag. To combat this unsettling moment, poke the air pockets with the tip of a sharp knife to deflate, bringing the layers closer together.
Sweet and savory treats slightly warm from the oven are perfect discussion food when gardening topics come up, or perhaps neighborly gossip.
Fig & Goat Cheese Tart Recipe
5 black figs, halved
¼ cup honey
1 Tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, tiny cubes
½ sheet puff pastry dough
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, room temperature
1 egg
1 teaspoon water
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Preparing the tarts:
1. Unfold puff pastry on a floured surface and cut out 5-five inch rounds.
2. Place on parchment and chill for 10 minutes.
3. Beat the water and eggs together. Set aside.
4. Spread goat cheese evenly over the puff pastry rounds leaving a ¼ edge.
5. Chill tarts again for 10 minutes.
6. Brush egg wash on edges of pastry and bake for approximately 22-25 minutes.
-The tarts are done when they are golden brown and cheese starts to brown.
-Sometimes puff pastry dough expands so much as to ruin perfect puff pastry symmetry. To handle this common occurrence, midway through the baking process insert the tip of a sharp knife into the air pockets to help deflate the tarts a little.
Preparing the figs:
1. Place fig halves on a parchment lined sheet pan.
2. Drizzle honey over figs, dot with butter bits and sprinkle with thyme.
3. Roast figs for 10 minutes.
Assembling the tarts:
1. For each tart, place two roasted fig halves on top of cheese.
2. Drizzle any pan juices over figs.
-For roasting the figs I used a buttered small cast iron skillet; creating a good amount of liquid to generously glaze the fig tarts.
