Bill Moyers Journal . Changing The Way We Eat | PBS
I am not amazed at how bad the food supply in the Usa has become. I have acid reflux, diverticulitis and other digestive problems. It is hard to eat anything. All this bad food leads to osteoporosis and colon cancers and who knows what. The food is filled with hormones and steroids fed to animals who eat food with chemicals and are rapidly slaughtered in inhumane ways. Food in Europe is much healther as is the great organic food of Seattle, California and even Little Cedar Key--not to mention the fresh caught fish. Sarsasota has a growning farmers and organic market but it is not well known. Adele Davis used to say "You are what you eat" and if this is true we are a compilation of bad chemicals. Its putting one drop of sewage in a large vat of fine wine; it becomes sewage. Enzymes are missing (they break down our food)......and the food industry is saying "eat more"! You be the judge and do your home work its your body and without ti your mind does not have a chance.

Dolphin Research: smart and friendly; they talk to us
University of Massachusetts grad student Stefante Gazda and her two assistants, Sarah Hosford & Olliva Harries, living in Cedar key for 6 months. They have a talk on 12/04.08 @ 5pm. at the Cedar Key Library. Cedar Key people (old florida) have been really nice; real old fashioned hospitality...it still here. Women are doing incredible things. Dr. David Eigen, Ph. D. (davideigen.com) has written on us men growing and catching up, but that is another story.
The Mote Marine Center is researching Manatee fish, they have names, I cannot recall; one manatee is about 50 some years and does not look a year over 20. Him and his buddy have bad eyes but are trained by treats. They are always looking for volunteers. Woods Hole (MA) and San Diego Research facility look out: Florida is creating waves in Marine research...and Sarasota has and is the World Arts Capital, also.

Dr. Michele Ronnick, Ph. D., professor Wayne State U, took 10 years to publish a book on a black scholar
William Sanders Scarborough - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was fluent in classical languages and thought and wanted, at the turn of the centry to go catalogue and study the languages and dialects of Africa. It never happened. Only now are we coming to grips with the greatness of this man with an A.M. from Oberlin college in Ohio. Not much is known about his fathers history, except working for the railroad as a switchman. the family was from Macon, Ga and his fathers grave has not yet been found.
Mr. Scarborough felt that an education in the classics and languages superceded the trades; contradicting the works of Dr. Dubois, a harvard educated Ph. D.
Much work needs to be done and papers written. Anyone interested in classical Greek & Latin studies, should take the time to start research. Michele Ronnick, Ph. D., at Wayne State found a plethoria of facts and scholarly works by this man. Ronnick edited The Autobiography of William Sanders Scarborough: An American Journey From Slavery to Scholarship which was published in 2005 by Wayne State University Press.
This lone black man, although not the only one, turned toward Greece and the classical languages for guidence and insight into human thought and culture. Get to work!

Norbert, spelling and feedback loops
I always liked Norbert Weiner . He was the father of "cybernetics" basically a feedback loop. When you look at "psycho-cybernetics" you have Tony Robbins and a quick way to learn a skill many have taken years to master.
He refused to join the Manhattan Project, you know, the nuclear bomb, dropped by the airplane named "enola gay"--its in the Smithsonian Museam in D.C. I think it was named after the pilots' mother...www.theenolagay.com
He was a great thinker and mathematician. But fact everything you read on the internet, the New York Times, the local rag and actually everything. Mark Twain said
"Carlyle said 'a lie cannot live.' It shows that he did not know how to tell them." - Mark Twain's Autobiography; Mark Twain in Eruption ...
www.twainquotes.com/Lies.html
So Norbert did not lie but he probably bullied and made fun of because of his name. But, genius's seem to have strange names. Some are cartoonish but we remember them and that is the point; anyway.
If you do your homework on this essay, you will find that "nuclear" is often spelled "nucleaar" in google findings. Now what is that about? Tell me then we can have a good laugh. Then again, maybe I spelled it wrong. Can't blame it on dsylectia (Tom Cruise, actor, seems to have it); but an itchy pinky, or an overactive "hunt and pecker" using only 2 fingers.

Title Waves & Morgan Dollars, Yada, Yada
New Orleans minted Morgan Dollars from 1893 to 1897. These were minted in New Orleans during the time of the great depression, which was much worse, in economic terms then the "crash of '29" of which everyone has heard.
These coins are collectibles now and will probably rocket up in value. The invisable hand of Adam Smith's conceptualizaton in his book, The Wealth of Nations. seems to have its fingers in the till, so to speak as more and more financial executives go to jail; although Mr. Bush, in the past has not been very liberal with pardons and commutations.
With computers running amok and making many trading decisions based on rules that probably should have been tossed in the 1980's it is easier to lose a buck, make that a few billion of them then ever. As a slide or wave starts, either up or down, computers kick in, but in a few nano-seconds, now, and cause an snowball effect with the markets. Soooo..look at the ETF (exchange traded funds) and make a decision. The olden days of "buy and hold for the long term" are dead.
Keynes always said in the long term we all would be dead anyway. Today, I guess most of will be so disabled we will be looking forward to living large online.
