Free to Choose Obesity? - New York Times
July 8, 2005
Free to Choose Obesity?
By PAUL KRUGMAN
The obvious model for those hoping to reverse the fattening of America is the campaign against smoking. Before the surgeon general officially condemned smoking in 1964, rising cigarette consumption seemed an unstoppable trend; since then, consumption per capita has fallen more than 50 percent.
But it may be hard to match that success when it comes to obesity. I'm not talking about the inherent difficulty of the task - getting people to consume fewer calories and/or exercise more may be harder than getting people to stop smoking, but we won't know until we try. I'm talking, instead, about how the political winds have shifted.
Public health activists were successful in taking on smoking in part because at the time corporations didn't know how to play the public opinion game. By today's standards, the political ineptitude of Big Tobacco was awe-inspiring. In a famous 1971 interview on "Face the Nation," the chairman of the board of Philip Morris, confronted with evidence that smoking by mothers leads to low birth weight, replied, "Some women would prefer having smaller babies."
Today's food industry would never make that kind of mistake. In public, the industry's companies proclaim themselves good guys, committed to healthier eating. Meanwhile, they outsource the campaigns against medical researchers and the dissemination of crude anti-anti-obesity propaganda to industry-financed advocacy groups like the Center for Consumer Freedom.
More broadly, the ideological landscape has changed drastically since the 1960's. (That change in the landscape also has a lot to do with corporate financing of advocacy groups, but that's a tale for another article.) In today's America, proposals to do something about rising obesity rates must contend with a public predisposed to believe that the market is always right and that the government always screws things up.
You can see these predispositions at work in an article printed last month in Amber Waves, a magazine published by the Department of Agriculture. The article is titled "Obesity Policy and the Law of Unintended Consequences," suggesting that government efforts to combat obesity are likely to be counterproductive. But the authors don't actually provide any examples of how that might happen.
And the authors suggest, without quite asserting it, that because people freely choose obesity in a free market, it must be a good thing.
"Americans' rapid weight gain may have nothing to do with market failure," the article says. "It may be a rational response to changing technology and prices. ... If consumers willingly trade off increased adiposity for working indoors and spending less time in the kitchen as well as for manageable weight-related health problems, then markets are not failing."
How can medical experts who see obesity as a critical problem deal with an ideological landscape tilted in the direction of doing nothing?
One answer is to focus on the financial costs of obesity, and the fact that many of these costs fall on taxpayers and on the general insurance-buying public, rather than on the obese individuals themselves. (To their credit, the authors of the Amber Waves article do mention this issue, although they play it down.)
It is more important, however, to emphasize that there are situations in which "free to choose" is all wrong - and that this is one of them.
For one thing, the most rapid rise in obesity isn't taking place among adults, who, we hope, can understand the consequences of their decisions. It's taking place among children and adolescents.
And even if children weren't a big part of the problem, only a blind ideologue or an economist could argue with a straight face that Americans were rationally deciding to become obese. In fact, even many economists know better: the most widely cited recent economic analysis of obesity, a 2003 paper by David Cutler, Edward Glaeser and Jesse Shapiro of Harvard University, declares that "at least some food consumption is almost certainly not rational." It goes on to present evidence that even adults have clear problems with self-control.
Above all, we need to put aside our anti-government prejudices and realize that the history of government interventions on behalf of public health, from the construction of sewer systems to the campaign against smoking, is one of consistent, life-enhancing success. Obesity is America's fastest-growing health problem; let's do something about it.

Steve makes Lehmann dough pizzas in his BBQ grill mod at his church different times for the teens in the area. Steve made 20 dough balls. As fast as Steve could bake the pies the teens ate them. I also got to bake a few pizzas. I sure had fun baking the pizzas in Steve's BBQ grill mod. Steve's Lehmann dough was made with KASL. The pizzas were super tender and baked in less than 3 minutes at around 650 degrees F. The reason my stopwatch on my cell phone showed a little over 3 minutes was because the pies had to be taken out and rotated with a fork. Steve's metal peel is too big to rotate the pizzas in his BBQ grill mod.
The pizzas Steve made reminded me of Neapoltian pies in that they were super tender, but they had a crispness on the bottom, that I had never tasted before. They were half way between Neapolitan and NY style pizzas in my opinion.
Steve told me the first pie that comes out of the oven looks a little less brown on the rim. That is what happened.
Steve is sure a DIY kind of guy that he can think things though and then DIY. His modification of a BBQ grill he found sure works great and makes the best Lehmann dough pizzas I have ever eaten. I told Steve I would love to be able to have a BBQ grill mod like his. Steve didn't even have the burner turned up the whole way.
All the teens did enjoy all the pizzas. Steve's wife and I took a walk down the road from the church and there is a really beautiful pond there.
Thanks Steve for inviting me to be able to see how your BBQ grill mod works and also to be able to taste the pizzas!.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
It is possible to use some USB hubs without a power supply, however, doing so may prevent the USB hub or certain high-power USB peripherals from operating. It is always recommended to use an included power supply with a USB hub when possible.
When a power adapter is not used on a hub that comes with a power adapter, power is drawn from the USB port on the computer and then divided between the ports on the hub. This reduces the power delivery to individual ports and high-powered USB peripherals, such as external hard drives, may not start.
On USB hubs that can use a power adapter, more power can be supplied to USB ports than what is possible with a single USB port.
If your USB peripherals require power adapters, they probably do not require power from the USB port and can be used on a USB hub without a power adapter. With USB peripherals that use power adapters, the USB ports on the hub are only used for data transfer and do not draw power from the hub.
USB peripherals that require low power (for example, keyboards and mice) can be used on hubs without a power adapter, in conjunction with other low-power USB peripherals. In this case, power is drawn from the computer's USB port, as described above.
When you troubleshoot issues with a USB hub, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
USB A-to-B cable
Computer USB port
USB peripheral(s)
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the USB cable and USB peripheral(s) in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different USB cable, USB port, and USB peripheral in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the hub, make sure that you do the following:
If a power adapter is included, provide power to the USB hub.
Attach a USB peripheral. The USB hub will not appear in any hardware listings on your system, but USB devices do appear when they are connected.
Install the drivers for the USB peripheral.
Install the latest drivers for the USB controller and motherboard chipset.
Note: No drivers or software are required for the USB hub to work with your operating system. The USB hub works independently of software and works with any operating system.
When testing your USB peripherals, make sure that you do the following:
If required, attach external power.
Confirm that the peripheral works on a standard USB port.
If the USB peripheral(s) can be detected on a standard USB port and not on the hub, do the following:
Use a new USB A-to-B cable.
Test your setup using basic USB peripherals, such as a keyboard or mouse.
Test using another USB port.
If the USB device does not work after your computer has been in extended hibernation, it is likely that Windows has automatically turned off the USB Root hub to save power.

Bear Grylls Survival Hatchet
A compact survival hatchet is worth its weight in lifesaving warmth and shelter. Especially when it weighs in at less than a liter of water, like the 1.4 pound. Bear Grylls Survival Hatchet designed by Gerber. The worse the weather gets, the more you'll appreciate this sturdy little hatchet's ability to turn out stacks of firewood or help you improvise a quick shelter.
Small But Powerful Blade
Don't let the compact size and slim profile of this hatchet fool you. With most of its heft concentrated in the head, it is definitely a tool that chops above its weight class. The 3.5-inch razor sharp blade is equally adept at limbing saplings as splitting logs. Combining Gerber's decades of experience crafting tools with Bear Grylls's adventure knowledge, the hatchet's sturdy stainless steel, full-tang construction stands up to the hardest tasks.
Zero Slip Grip
The rubberized handle fills your hand to create a lock-tight grip that won't let go even when wet. And finger notches just below the head let you choke up securely on the axe for more precise control when feathering kindling or stripping bark. There's also a handy hole at the base of the handle to attach a lanyard for an extra measure of safety.
Double Duty Head
Opposite the blade, the back of the head features a crosshatched striking surface that can be used for all types of camp duties, from pounding tent stakes and straightening bent backpack stays to tenderizing meat.
Sturdy Sheath
When not in use, you can keep the blade sharp and safe inside its military-grade, mildew-resistant sheath, complete with loops that strap to your belt or pack. Plus, it comes with a copy of Bear's "Priorities of Survival" Pocket Guide to help you focus your attention on the details that matter most when you are in a jam.
Overall Length: 9.46" (24cm)
Blade Length: 3.5" (8.9cm)
Weight: 20.8 oz. (590g)
Steel Type: 3Cr13MoV
Handle Material: Polypropylene
Nylon Sheath
3.5-inch blade for swift, precise cuts
Full-tang, high carbon steel construction for durability
Ergonomic, non-slip rubber grip for comfortable, secure handling
Military-grade, mildew-resistant nylon sheath with belt loops
Bear Grylls "Priorities of Survival" Pocket Guide
Rubber handle for grip in all conditions
Backed by Gerber's Lifetime Warranty

Nijmegen (Gelderland, Netherlands)
Nijmegen (German, Nimwegen) is a city in the Dutch province of Gelderland, which in 1951 had a population of 112,800 (231 Mennonites). The first mention of Anabaptists in this city occurs in 1539; on 19 April of that year three unnamed Anabaptist men were burned at the stake here, and shortly after that two women were drowned in the Waal River. Two other victims of persecution in this city are known: in 1557 (van Braght gives the year as 1556) Gerrit Hazenpoet was burned at the stake, and in 1569 (van Braght 1572) Jan (Johan) Block met the same fate. But the city government did not always take such strong action against the Anabaptists; as early as 1565 Jan van den Berg was expelled from the city with his whole family because he refused to have his children baptized.
The next mention of Anabaptists is made in 1639. The city, which had become predominantly Reformed, suffered a terrible epidemic of the plague in 1635-1637, losing about half of its inhabitants. It therefore considered bringing weavers in from other places for its linen weaving industry. During this time many Reformed came here from the duchy of Jülich, Germany, where they were oppressed because of their religious faith. Mennonites came too; in 1639 a Mennonite acquired the rights of citizenship, and two others in 1640. Instead of giving the customary oath they were received upon their vow of truthfulness ("by mannen-waerheyd"). In 1642 and the following years more Mennonite weavers came to Nijmegen from Jülich, who practiced their craft, becoming citizens in the same way. The number of Mennonites there in 1652 was considerable. The complaint of the Reformed to the government that the Mennonites were meeting regularly for services indicates that there was an organized congregation. In 1654-1657 new refugees came, strengthening the congregation, which Guyot estimates at 180 souls. The Mennonites of Nijmegen belonged to the United Flemish, Frisians, and High Germans and used this name although there were never any divisions there. After the Lamist-Zonist schism the Nijmegen congregation held to the conservative Zonist views. In 1664 Willem Kops, Jan Welsinck, and Pieter Willemsz signed the Verbondt van Eenigheydt in the name of the Nijmegen congregation.
A man of importance who did much to promote the financial status of the brotherhood was the deacon Jan Godschalks van Elten (d. 1700), who came from München-Gladbach, Jülich, and obtained citizenship in 1655. In 1665 the council of the Reformed Church protested that the Mennonites had a fixed place of meeting; thereupon they were forced again to meet in the homes of the members. In 1706 they bought a house which they remodeled as a church. In 1728 they found another place in the Remonstrant church on the Arminiaansche Plaats, which was now sold to the Mennonites.
In the 18th century the membership suffered a sharp decline. In 1655 the membership, including children, was estimated at 180. The number of baptized members in 1783 was 99, in 1798, 39, and in 1847 only 28. The French occupation brought a time of trial and difficulty. In 1794 the church was used as a stable. But by 1802 it was again in use as a church. After 1860 the membership increased rapidly. The 28 members of 1847 grew to 240 by 1900. In 1940 the membership stood at about 200, in 1955 at 135. The congregation of Nijmegen seems to have had as its first regular (lay) preacher and elder Thomas Ameldonck, who came from Goch and served at Nijmegen 1672-1689. After he died the congregation was for some time served by elders from the outside, but in 1690 two preachers had been appointed, i.e., Jan Ameldonck Leeuw, the son of elder Thomas Ameldonck, and Laurens Hendriks. They were followed by Hendrik Laurens (son of Laurens Hendriks) and Pieter Hendriks (Pieter de Eger, or van Egen), who were both appointed elders in 1724. Laurens Hendriks served until 1759, in which year he retired; Pieter van Egen served until his death in 1770. They were followed by Cornelis Bruyn, serving 1773-1782, J. H. Floh, who was their first minister trained at the Amsterdam Seminary, 1782-1783, Evert Akkeringa 1784-1799, Herman I. van Hinte 1799, Abraham de Vries 1800-1801, Pieter Hollenberg 1801-1805, Sybren Sybrandi 1805-1807, Coenraad Bavink 1807-1810, Anthonie Doyer 1811-1818, Cornelis S. van Geuns 1819-1822, Abraham Doyer 1825-1828, Jan Boeke 1828-1830, Klaas Sybrandi 1830-1834, J. ten Cate Fennema 1835-1860, J.

During World War II the church was destroyed in September 1944; a new church was dedicated on 25 May 1952. In the 1950s there was a Sunday school for children and a ladies' circle. The city by the mid-1950s was predominantly (79 per cent) Catholic.

Mike Leach's treatment of Adam James, in the midst of a sport-wide awakening to the perils of concussions, was unforgivable. But as Spencer Hall suggests, Leach was probably a goner before Craig James even picked up the phone.
This was a firing in search of a provocation. Hall writes:
Leach's contract negotiations were, to put it politely, contentious. His flirtations with other jobs were brazen. The university's patience with his high-profile antics was running low even before a season where he suspended players from Twitter, referred to their "fat little girlfriends" after a loss to Texas A&M, and secluded/imprisoned/whatever happened with Adam James. The university will hint at "other things" that Leach did or didn't do to provoke his firing, but ultimately it came down to Leach pulling a suicide by injunction earlier today and forcing Texas Tech to fire him.
And for cause, as Chris Brown points out. Meanwhile, Texas Tech fans are handling the news about as you'd expect. Via Brooks' Twitter:
When Leach firing was announced in Lubbock courtroom, someone yelled, "Well you're going to have a bunch of empty seats in that stadium!"
That's probably true. Leach was the best coach in school history; he built the program out of whimsy and a tinkerer's instinct, and in another year or so, he will go and make another program very successful. The bummer of it is that Leach was supposed to be the sunny antithesis of all those glowering fascists on all those sidelines. In 2005, Michael Lewis wrote an excellent story about Leach that is worth a read today. Lewis memorably said that Leach's offense was as much a mood as it was a collection of plays: "It is designed to maximize the possibility of something good happening rather than to minimize the possibility of something bad happening." That's obviously still true, but it's hard to reconcile the cheeriness of that description with the evident sadism of Leach's dispatching an injured player to a chairless shed — excuse me, "garage." Instead, another passage stands out today:
"Football's the most violent sport," Leach says. "And because of that, the most intense and emotional." Truth is, he loves the violence. ("Aw, yeah, the violence is awesome. That's the best part.") Back in the early 1980's, when he was a student at B.Y.U., he spotted a poster for a seminar, "Violence in American Sports." It was given by a visiting professor who bemoaned the influence of football on the American mind. To dramatize the point, the professor played a video of especially shocking blows delivered in college and pro football. "It had all the great hits in football you remembered and wanted to see again," Leach recalls. "Word got around campus that this guy had this great tape, and the place was jammed. Everybody was cheering the hits. I went twice."

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/ bbpress' language folder ( wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages ) have that warning:
* Do not put custom translations here. They will be deleted on bbPress updates.
* Keep custom bbPress translations in /wp-content/languages/
Actually this is not a new problem and yes they are right. This is big problem if you are using wordpress plugins with a non-english language.
Basically i translated bbpress and created .po and .mo files. Files are working if i put them in their normal wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-languages folder. But as above warning says that will delete when update. But problem is, translating is not working if i put them in wp-content/languages/ folder as suggested in bbpress.
I think there must be a hook or something i can activate it but what is best solution for it? Simply i want to keep plugin language files in wp-content/languages/

This year's Baltimore Pride is the first since marriage equality was passed in the state, but far from the first for Marylanders who grew up with gay parents.
A recent study released by the Williams Institute, a think tank at the UCLA School of Law, found that 20 percent of same-sex couples in the Baltimore region are raising children. Just five other regions in the country had higher percentages. Based on data from the 2010 U.S. Census, Maryland now ranks 12th for the highest percentage of same-sex couples raising children.
Though the stats reflect recent population data, these couples have been around in the state for decades. We decided to talk to two such families, who raised children in the state as young adults and now have children who are adults themselves. We discussed their family life, how things have changed for them — or not — when attitudes in the state and nationwide have shifted more in support of gay rights and marriage equality. What have been their ups and downs, their struggles and their moments of happiness?
Here are their stories.
'That looks familiar'
Ken Travers and Bob Harris mark their anniversary by their first kiss.
That moment was exactly 33 years ago on the day we spoke last week. They still remember it well. "He was wearing a pink T-shirt," said Harris.
But their long relationship has also included many hidden kisses. The couple met at a bar in Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., when Travers was married and had three children. One of his children, Kate Oliver, was 4 when she met Harris. Travers, now 66, ended up divorcing Kate's mom and coming out at the same time. He has been with Harris, 64, since, and mostly had one day a week with his children until a bitter custody battle ended and he split time more evenly when Kate was 13.
"When joint custody was reached with the kids, it was like me having the first full breath in a decade," said Travers.
Oliver, now 37, was silent for a while as she listened to her father speak. She sat with them in their screened-in gazebo behind their home in Silver Spring, in a quiet neighborhood of winding streets, full blooming trees and mothers walking their children in strollers. Travers and Harris' Maltese, Lucas, sat on her lap.
"If we didn't maintain this illusion of separate bedrooms, of us not touching or showing affection around the kids, my lawyer said to me that I'd never see my children again," said Travers.
"We knew, and we knew that we weren't supposed to know or say anything," Oliver said.
Eventually Oliver had what she called her "a-ha moment." In high school, she had a teacher who was gay, and saw him once riding up an escalator with someone who was clearly his partner. She called out his name and waved. They heard her and reacted. "I saw the man with my teacher step back a little and then step off the escalator like they didn't know each other," said Oliver. "I thought, 'That looks familiar.' I had seen my dad do that his whole life with Bob."
Oliver's voice broke; her eyes watered. Her father sitting next to her silently looked at his daughter. It had been ingrained in Travers and Harris' life to not be outwardly couple-y and affectionate. Even now, 33 years in, Harris, who was also once married with children, said he still hesitates when a patient recognizes Travers, an obstetrician. He still feels himself moving to distance himself.
Oliver said her relationships with her father and Bob have "evolved" over the years. She's been direct since high school with people who asked about her "gay dads." She eventually married and has two young daughters. Harris, once a trauma nurse, recently quit his job to provide child care for Oliver's children — children's playsets sit in their backyard, just beyond a manicured fish pond. To them, Travers is Grandpa, Harris is Pop Pop. Oliver has pushed for marriage equality in Maryland, talking with lawmakers in Annapolis, sometimes bringing along her daughters who would clutch pictures of Grandpa and Pop Pop.
Both Travers and Harris said getting married in Maryland now would be mostly symbolic. "Legally, [getting married] wouldn't impact us much," said Travers, who has set up power of attorney and other financial structures already with Harris. "But we want to marry in Maryland, having seen how hard my daughter worked it for it. It was really touching how hard she labored for it."
They have had a commitment ceremony. In 2007, the pair celebrated in Hawaii, where they plan to move when Travers retires (they later had a civil union in the same state). Oliver and her family were there to watch what she rarely ever got to see between her father and man he has loved for so long — a kiss.
"Even then, we thought, 'Oh my god — do we kiss?" said Harris. They did, in front of everyone, in front of their granddaughters.
And one later said, "I saw you!"
'They are it'
Sometimes a family fits together so perfectly, the interactions seem effortless
As Rose O'Neill and her partner of 20 years, Tessa Pagones, posed for pictures with two of their children, the jokes flew. In the kitchen of their home in Westminster, they laughed about doing poses from the film "Zoolander." How about "Blue Steel"? Rose suggested. No, "Le Tigre," responded her daughter, Kelly O'Neill.
They all complement one another. Just a look to another family member can silently convey a feeling or a thought. There's never just one person laughing — they laugh together. As a family.
"The household is laid back," said their son, James O'Neill, 29. "They're accepting of what we want to do with our lives. This house is a drama-free zone."
And they all nodded in agreement. As a family.
Rose O'Neill, who turns 56 at the end of the month, met Tessa Pagones, 46, through riding and showing horses. They were friends for a few years; Rose O'Neill was married when they met. They became a couple a few years later, when Rose's biological children were young — James was 9; middle son Colin O'Neill was 3; Kelly was a newborn.
"My mom and dad had split up, and Tessa being a part of our lives was nothing like an imposition for us," said James. "It was never a problem. I never really cared about what they were or what other people said. I remember hearing the word 'gay,' and I asked Mom what it was and she told me, and talked about her and Tessa."
Even as a toddler, Kelly gravitated to Pagones. "I remember meeting her and her looking at me," said Pagones. "She was wary of strangers, but she kind of backed up slowly and ended up somehow sitting in my lap."
"When I was 5, I got an understanding of what marriage was," said Colin, 25, who was with his family in the kitchen, on a laptop via Skype from his home in West Philadelphia. "I always had this concept of love without boundaries."
The three children spent time divided between their father and their mom and Pagones. O'Neill and Pagones moved to Westminster a decade ago, and eventually Kelly and Colin came to live with them. Colin took comfort in moving in with his moms after he came out himself.
There has been much happiness over the years, but difficulties. At one point O'Neill and Pagones broke up — O'Neill considered trying to make things work with her husband. "It was like all of a sudden my kids were gone," said Pagones. Eventually Colin helped guide his mother. "I remember telling her, 'You don't need to try to make it work.'" As he said this, a face and voice on a laptop, his mom, standing behind the screen, seemed to connect with her son in a remarkable way. She smiled to herself, pondered his words, put her head down, and lifted it to reveal a look that acknowledged that her child had been right.
"I would hear people say meanly, 'You have two moms,' and I would say, 'I know,' he said. "That stopped the show."
The children were never embarrassed — they were proud. Their moms were heavily involved in their children's school activities: sports for James, music for Kelly and Colin (though O'Neill mentioned that she once volunteered to help with Girl Scouts and was never taken up on it). And the three noticed a change in their mother. "Beyond her just being happier and her true self, she became more adventurous — it was always 'Let's go here and do this' when before everything was planned," James said. "There was much more confidence."
It was their love and support that helped get them through some trying times. They said that some neighbors who learned the two were a couple stopped speaking to them. James was once told by a friend's mother that "We'll pray for your moms." Other times, interactions have been humorous. Pagones recalled a man who came to their house when they first moved in, asked them if they had husbands, and when they told him no, he said, 'Hell, I guess you girls know what you want."
Through 20 years and a rough divorce —O'Neill and her husband are now civil, she said — the couple has had a commitment ceremony, but has not married. "We're holding out for DOMA," said the women, almost at the same time, referring to a possible repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage Act law.
"I feel the whole gay factor has been a large 'So what?' for us," said Pagones. "And I would really like society to catch up."
But they will celebrate another wedding soon. Colin just got engaged to his partner and plans to marry in his moms' backyard, perhaps next spring. "At the end of the day I take comfort in having three amazing parents who love me," Colin said. "I wouldn't change anything for that."
Would the kids want their mothers to get married?
"If anyone deserves to get married, it's you guys," said Kelly. "They are it."
They are "it" as in good parents? As in a model of love?
"Both," said Kelly.
"Absolutely both," said James.

I have survived another year!
This seemed like it has been a long year, with many twists and turns, numerous genealogical conferences, much travel, and much work - I have had 24 articles published this year, and started this blog.
I renewed old friendships from all over, and made new ones. And I value each one.
It is my dream to write many more articles, and to get the blog rolling out every day, and to go to as many conferences as possible. Mighty big order - let's see if I'm up to it.
I had one big genealogy find this year, and that was of my great-great-great-uncle Andrew BARCLAY.
My cousin Charles BARCLAY and I have searched high and low for him, and he always seemed to slip through our fingers - until just by happenstance I "Googled" one of his daughters this past spring while I was waiting for a drive one day, and there it was - she had written a diary!
And one part of it was on the Town of Argyle (Archives) website. I rushed a note off to them and in no time flat I had the entire diary that had been donated to them by her family (HALEY from Alemeda County, California), and I found the story about her father and his death.
How he died of yellow fever in San Domingo after going there from Shelburne, Nova Scotia on ship to trade the town's fish for rum and sugar.
And then this summer in August, a query I put on the Internet six years ago bore fruit because I was sent a picture of who else? Andrew Barclay!
So the research is complete, and I am happy! Now I will see if I can get the book completed (on Andrew BARCLAY, Loyalist), and published.
See my posting on him in this blog, under "Let Cousins Find You" at <http://genealogycanada.blogspot.com/2008/08/let-cousins-find-you.html>.
So I have had a wonderful year as far as the business of genealogy is concerned.
I try to remember that it's not the idea that we are given another day to live, but it is what do we do with that day that counts.
May you have your own Happpy Birthday!

South Dakota State University Reaches Nearly $256 Million in Fundraising
BROOKINGS - South Dakota State University has completed the largest higher-education fundraising effort in state history.
Campus officials on Friday announced nearly $256 million in gifts and pledges during a rally on campus.
President David Chicoine thanked the leadership of the SDSU Foundation for accepting the challenge of spearheading the It Starts With State campaign. He says the generous donations will allow aspirations to become reality and enable the university to make a difference for people in South Dakota and the region.
The fundraising effort focused on strengthening the faculty, opportunities for students, new and revitalized facilities, athletics and funds that enrich the student experience.
The Council of Trustees of the SDSU Foundation in 2008 voted to support a campaign with a working goal of $190 million.

THE PUBLIC EYE: The Fiscal Cliff: Three Opportunities
When I was a child, it was common in large cities to see men carrying hand-written signs that proclaimed, "The end of the world is coming." These days most doomsayers have blogs, but quite a few are Washington pundits who prophesy, "The fiscal cliff is coming." It's clear that "taxmageddon" is a disaster if Congress does nothing. Nonetheless, the crisis offers progressives three opportunities.
In February, Ben Bernanke, Chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve, coined the term fiscal cliff to describe what would happen on January 1, 2013, "[The US will go over] a massive fiscal cliff of large spending cuts and tax increases."
What most Americans understand is that, unless Congress acts, their taxes will go up on January 1st. What is less well understood is that there also could be be a series of automatic spending cuts, "sequestrations," totaling $1.2 trillion split between defense and domestic spending.
Throughout 2012 the Congressional Budget Office studied the fiscal cliff and described the problem:
"Taken together, CBO estimates, those policies will reduce the federal budget deficit by $607 billion, or 4.0 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), between fiscal years 2012 and 2013. The resulting weakening of the economy will lower taxable incomes and raise unemployment, generating a reduction in tax revenues and an increase in spending on such items as unemployment insurance… Such a contraction in output in the first half of 2013 would probably be judged to be a recession." [Emphasis added.]Because of the likely dire consequences, most observers believe that President Obama and Congress will reach some accommodation. During this process, progressives have three major opportunities:
1. Promote income equality: It's widely believed that raising everyone's taxes would inhibit the growth of US GDP. However, many economists argue that increasing the tax rates of the richest 2 percent, those making over $250,000 per year, would have little impact on their behavior and would raise a huge amount of money. The top tax rate would revert to that of the Clinton era and increase from 35 to 39.6 percent. The White House estimates this change, plus increased taxes on investment income, would generate approximately $960 Billion over the next decade. Progressive see this as one small step to address income inequality.
2. Attack Global Climate Change: To reach his objective of $1.6 Billion in new revenues over ten years, President Obama is searching for $600 Billion in additional revenue. Remedies he's proposed include changing the rules for the inheritance tax and a new form of the Alternative Minimum Tax that imposes the "Buffet Rule:" all taxpayers making more than $1 million would pay a minimum 30 percent tax.
Another way to provide additional revenue would be to impose a national carbon tax. Such a tax would be levied on all fossil fuels – coal, natural gas, and oil – and would raise the price of many products; for example, gasoline, food, and manufactured goods. In September, the Congressional Research Service evaluated the carbon tax and found that a minimal tax of "$20 per metric ton of CO2 would generate approximately $88 billion in 2012, rising to $144 billion by 2020… this estimated revenue source would reduce the 10-year budget deficit by 50%." (In August, Australia enacted a carbon tax.) A US carbon tax has the support of both environmentalists and business leaders (including Michael Bloomberg, New York Mayor, and Rex Tillerson, ExxonMobil CEO). It would be a rare political twofer that produces massive revenues while lowering emissions of CO2.
3. Reduce Defense Spending: In 2013, sequestration would cut $55 Billion from the defense budget – roughly 11 percent. As one might expect, the Secretary of Defense and other pro-defense voices screamed that such a cut would be "a disaster for national defense." Nonetheless, many Washington pundits doubt that there would be a dramatic impact. They point to reports of waste in defense spending and note that the US is in the process of winding down two wars and defense expenditures – which have almost doubled since 2000 – should be expected to decline. Former assistant secretary of defense Lawrence Korb observed,
"Sequestration certainly is not a smart way to cut the defense budget… but it also means the Pentagon will be spending more in 2013 after sequestration than it did in 2006, at the height of the Iraq war… Moreover, the United States will still account for 40 percent of the world's military expenditures."Former Congressman, White House Chief of Staff, and current Mayor of Chicago Rahm Emanuel once observed, "You never let a serious crisis go to waste… it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." The Fiscal Cliff crisis presents progressives with an unprecedented opportunity to address income inequality, global climate change, and rampant military spending.

Happy 2010 everyone! Is it just me or have the 10 years since the millennium flown by!? The passage of time is what inspired this first podcast of the new decade. In it I discuss the influence "history" can have on today's martial practise. It is my view that history can lead to ever increasing efficiency and growth, or stagnation and death depending upon how we view the martial practises passed on to us through history.
There are many different ways in which history can impact upon us and in this podcast I discuss the following: How important is it to be "historically accurate" with regards to kata bunkai? What is "traditional"? Should we faithfully preserve what has been passed on to us? How can we integrate modern developments and remain true to our martial heritage? How should we use "history" to ensure a positive future? Is the "historic way" or the "modern way" the best? And a few more issues relating to the positives and pitfalls when looking at the history of the martial arts.
Thanks once again to all the regular listeners for your support of these podcasts! The number of listeners is growing all the time and I thank you for your continued support and for telling others about these programmes. I'll be back with more next month! Enjoy!
All the best,

Maria Hernandez Park
The Daily Plant : Thursday, January 24, 2002
The following four individuals are among the twelve friends of Parks honored with Emerald Awards at State of the Parks on January 18, 2002.
Victor L. (City Clerk) Robles has been a devoted friend of Parks throughout his career as a City Council Member. In Fiscal Year 2002 alone, City Clerk generously allocated more than $4 million to fund the renovation and repair of the parks and playgrounds in his Bushwick district, including Maria Hernandez Park and De Hostos Playground. An active member of the Brooklyn Council delegation, City Clerk has been instrumental in providing borough-wide funding for street trees, maintenance workers, and Playground Associates. Parks has also worked with Whip in his capacity as a lead organizer of the annual Puerto Rican Day Parade.
Doug (Brigadier) Blonsky has been with the Central Park Conservancy since 1985. He is Chief Operating Officer and Central Park Administrator, appointed by Commissioner Henry J. (StarQuest) Stern in 1998 when the Conservancy formalized its partnership with the City by signing an historic management contract. Brigadier oversees a staff of 200 in seven departments: Capital Projects; Maintenance, Operations & Horticulture; Volunteer Outreach; Education; Government & Community Relations; Human Resources; and Development. Brigadier has been responsible for the effective management of $200 million in capital projects including noteworthy restorations of the Great Lawn, the North Meadow, the Harlem Meer, and most recently the 59th Street Pond. At the time of its creation, Central Park was recognized as a democratic experiment. The park was built to be public place where people of diverse backgrounds could enjoy the same activities and appreciate the same flowers. Brigadier's vision and hard work ensure that the experiment continues to be a success.
If you look up "public servant" in the dictionary, you will find a picture of Stanley E. (Falcon) Michels, New York City Council Member from January 1978 to December 2001. Since 1994, Falcon has allocated over $28 million for the improvement and reconstruction of 57 parks and playgrounds. From the restoration of Inwood Hill and Fort Tryon Parks to the hiring of seasonal employees including Playground Associates and PEP officers, Falcon has recognized Parks' needs and provided funding and support for worthy projects. He attended and sponsored countless community meetings and special events, such as the Medieval Festival, where he is known to officiate the joust clothed in traditional garb. Falcon's commitment to improving the quality of life of his diverse and ever changing constituency is unwavering. The high quality of the parkland in his district is proof of that commitment.
Walter L. (The Woodsider) McCaffrey has greened and renovated nearly every parcel of parkland in Council District 26, which encompasses Long Island City, Maspeth, Woodside, and Sunnyside. A short drive through Maspeth will bear testament to his support of Queens parks, as the once barren triangles that line the Long Island Expressway, both east and west bound, are now among the most beautiful neighborhood parks in the city. Throughout his many years on the City Council, The Woodsider has remained a defender of green and open spaces. He truly understands the importance of parks and playgrounds to the communities he represents.
By Jane (Doe) Rudolph and Allison (Wagon) Wenger
(Thursday, February 2, 1989)
Last year Staten Islanders continued a long tradition of preserving and protecting the borough's green urban oases by working to beef up Police patrols at parks, forming an environmental crew to maintain parkland, and taking action to save precious trees.
Staten Island crews completed five major clean-ups under the agency's in-house "5x5" program: including Conference House Park (Phases I and II); Greenbelt roadways; and Silver Lake Park, where crews saved 14 trees by removing a brick restraining wall and building an enlarged pit to allow for growth. The first phase of a "5x5" at LaTourette Park was also completed. Over 500 cubic yards of debris and 80 abandoned cars were removed from the site.
"When you look at a city, it's like reading the hopes,
aspirations and pride of everyone who built it."
Hugh Newell Jacobsen (b. 1929)

Carlisle Barracks, Pa — The Army Wellness and Education Program is set to expand, according to Army officials. The expansion will better prepare individual leaders to manage their personal readiness and influence the health and fitness of those they lead.
The program is housed at the Army War College in Carlisle, PA, and is part of the Army Physical Fitness Research Institute (APFRI) that studies soldiers at all levels and gauges the fitness readiness of the Army. The program will expand and be taught to the annexes at the Command and General Staff College (CGSC), Sergeants Major Academy (USASMA), Army Management Staff College, and as part of the Advanced Noncommissioned Officer Course and the Warrant Officer Course.
After initial pilot testing of the program, more than 91 percent of CGSC students and 95 percent of USASMA students reported that the health and fitness information they received was above and beyond the level they had received in the past. Additionally, 91 percent of the CGSC students rated the APFRI program as critical to the CGSC mission.
"This program identifies the risk factors of individuals as they begin to age and how we link the understanding of health, fitness and leadership," says Col. Tom Williams, the director of the APFRI. "This will help reduce some of the operational fatigue that we recognize will come into play as individuals repeatedly go into a combat deployment time after time."
The program is needed, Williams says. APFRI has assessed the health and readiness of more than 1,000 students at the Sergeants Major Academy and 220 students at the Command and General Staff College, and found that the students had a greater risk of heart disease and premature death than the older students at the War College.
The expanded program will educate senior leaders about their own health and enhance their mental and physical readiness, officials say. The program will also prepare leaders to promote health and fitness of the forces they lead.

The company was established in 1957 by Peter Foy, whose innovative techniques and patented mechanical inventions revolutionized theatrical flight. Throughout his lifetime, Peter Foy applied his artistic vision and mechanical ingenuity to the challenge of safely flying performers in a variety of different and often difficult circumstances.
