The non-partisan campaign to unseat Tony Abbott in Warringah at the next Federal election is a long shot, says Dr Benjamin Thomas Jones, but political miracles are known to happen in Australia.
Plato famously claimed that
"…those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber".
In Australia, the issue is not intelligence so much as an entrenched culture of political apathy. If the polls are to be believed, we are enduring an unpopular prime minister until we can sweep to power an opposition leader with an even lower approval rating. Have we simply stopped caring?
Sarah Madison recently opined that political debate in Australia is at its lowest ebb. The commentariat seems to agree with her. Madison places the blame squarely at the major parties noting that they have
'…no vision, no aspiration and, consequently, no connection with the Australian people'.
While flagellating politicians is a beloved Australian pastime, the old adage that in a democracy, you get the government you deserve still rings true. The uncomfortable truth may be that the blame lies with the electorate for not demanding better.
One group who appear to be taking this message to heart is the Anyone But Abbott campaign. ABA is a grassroots, non-partisan organisation whose stated purpose is to oust Tony Abbott from the federal seat of Warringah, which he has held since 1994. The group believe that Labor will 'almost certainly lose the next federal election', but are convinced Abbott lacks the policies and the
'…strength of character to effectively unify and deliver prosperity to a nation after a period of prolonged divisiveness'.
In reality, ABA is attempting to wrestle power away from the small but powerful Liberal right faction and return it to the moderates with the group openly endorsing moderate heavyweights, Joe Hockey and Malcolm Turnbull as 'higher calibre' leaders.
The Liberal Party lurched to the right under the decade-long rule of John Howard with the timid presence of moderate treasurer and deputy prime minister, Peter Costello, doing little to stem the tide. Following the crushing 2007 election defeat, there was some hope of a moderate revival and a rediscovery of some of the small 'l' liberal values for which Robert Menzies named the party. Although it was nominal right member Brendan Nelson who initially landed the opposition leadership, it was effectively a poisoned chalice with Kevin Rudd enjoying the highest popularity rating of any prime minister.
Once the honeymoon ended, the Liberals looked to Malcolm Turnbull and the moderates to make the party attractive again. Turnbull's fatal mistake was to keep as leader his consistent stance that climate change is real and the government must have a policy to address it. The powerful right faction leader, Nick Minchin orchestrated a coup d'état from the Senate.
The moderates still had the numbers to install one of their own – Joe Hockey – but, incredibly, they managed to foil what should have been an exercise in rubber stamping. Too many moderates gave a sympathy vote to Turnbull and it was he, rather than Hockey who faced Abbott in the final round. Abbott's leadership is effectively the result of a Liberal Party administrative error. He was not wanted (and largely is still not wanted) by his party and he is not wanted by the wider electorate and yet – though an unparalleled campaign of endless negativity, cushioned by a largely acquiescent media and a weak government – Tony Abbott stands poised to become the prime minister of Australia.
This is where ABA comes in. If the Liberal Party is unwilling or unable to remove Abbott, then the people of Warringah may have to do it for them. This is easier said than done, of course. Abbott holds his seat by a very comfortable 59 per cent safety margin. It is unlikely the ALP or Greens will pour much energy into Warringah. The Sydney Morning Herald has recently described ABA as a 'token gesture'. This view is too dismissive of a group which has gained great support and both local and national media coverage in its short existence. That said, ABA still have a mountain to climb. Political miracles are not without precedent in Australia, but there are five main things ABA need to get right if they are going to pull off what may just be the biggest miracle yet.
1. Court the Liberal vote.
The immediate problem facing a campaign like this is that it will hold far more appeal to Labor and Greens supporters than Liberals. The candidate must present themself as someone seeking to improve the Liberal Party rather than beat it. It may be necessary for the candidate to publically commit themselves to supporting the Liberals in the case of a hung parliament. If Liberal voters see this as an opportunity for party renewal, not a chance for Labor to cling to power, they may just be swayed to put ABA first and the Liberals second.
2. A message of empowerment.
In a climate of political apathy, it is important that ABA stresses that people power and democracy truly can bring about great changes. The message should come loud and clear — Warringah can choose the next prime minister. The power is in their hands.
3. Big issues.
The ABA candidate must be a big thinker who talks about big issues. This is not a campaign that can be won with promises about the Manly ferry or other local issues. ABA is asking a huge 9 per cent of the electorate, who previously voted for Tony Abbott, to change their minds. The issue must be: what kind of prime minister will Abbott be? And would they, as Liberal voters, prefer to see one of the moderate leaders take his place?
4. Straight talk.
Julia Gillard has been plagued by the impression that she is dishonest ever since she won the prime ministership off Kevin Rudd. Tony Abbott also is perceived as dishonest. His recent performance on the 7:30 Report revealed a man completely incapable of giving a straight answer.
The ABA candidate must take a leaf out of John McCain's playbook and present the campaign as the straight talk express. Nothing could juxtapose an Independent better against Abbott than a commitment to frank and honest answers.
5. Be positive.
This last one is very tricky, considering the nature and even the name of the campaign, but ABA must not simply be a prolonged criticism of everything Tony Abbott has ever said or done. Once the candidate is chosen, the campaign should abandon the ABA moniker and simply be John/Jane for Warringah. The candidate must have strategically chosen policy positions which oppose Abbott but are in line with Turnbull and Hockey. Advocating an Australian republic is an obvious example, particularly given that Warringah voted for the republic in 1999. Other areas include the carbon price, which Turnbull supported but Abbott vehemently opposes. The candidate should take the line that, now in, the price should stay but be lowered — even to zero if needs be. There are a range of other issues, but the balance of the campaign needs to be committed to presenting a positive independent candidate with positive policies that will lead to a Coalition government that can unite the country, rather than an Abbott led government that would see a deep divide.
The campaign will obviously rise or fall based on the quality of the candidate put forward. ABA need an articulate person with a deep knowledge of Australian politics, a thick-skin and an indefatigable spirit. The campaign will need to run continuously from now until the next election, tenaciously knocking on every door and speaking to every Liberal voter possible. It is a long shot, but it is far from a token gesture. With hard work, a strong message and a little bit of luck, this long shot may just pay off.

The Death Penalty
Many and varied are the reasons to end, or at the very least, severely limit the death penalty. We argue its immorality, its discriminatory application, its violation of the cruel and unusual prohibitions in our Constitution. We argue that we are virtually the only nation borne of Western culture that still employs it; it is a barbaric remnant of Old Testament vengeance. It sets us apart from the majority of the international community, creating an inequality in punishments when attempting extradition for a capital offense.
We marshal an impressive array of statistics for these arguments, including a demonstration of its ineffectiveness as a deterrent. The cumulative murder rate in those states without the death penalty is significantly lower than the corresponding rate in those states with the penalty. And finally we can show, with the advent of DNA testing (almost) conclusively, that if we have not as yet executed an innocent person, we most surely have come close to executing one, and just as surely will do so in some future case not susceptible of DNA testing.
And yet the irrational appeal to vengeance, and the atavistic urge to violence, is so deep within our reptilian brains, that demagogic politicians need only raise the thrill of the death penalty as a panacea to the complexities of law and order, crime and punishment, to convince millions of voters throughout California and this country to forsake all reason and join the mindless lynch-mob in following these opportunists to the polls.
The vast majority of these politicians are of an ideological bent that irrationally connects this retributive approach to crime to family values (other than Jesus' family, I guess), smaller government (freedom from corporate regulation) and lower taxes accompanied by smaller budgets. An essential element to this mantra is presumed governmental waste and, as our governor promised in the recall, the elimination of the waste and inefficiencies of our State government.
Recently, the LA Times reported on the ever-increasing costs of the proposed new death row to be constructed at San Quentin, noting that "the projected cost of the project has soared by nearly 80% for a compound that could be full only three years after it opens..." The plan budgeted at $220 million is now estimated at $395 million, but only if construction begins by November. Even so, the structure as now envisioned will have 25% fewer cells, some containing two condemned inmates instead of the original single-occupancy originally intended.
I think this revelation of one aspect of the enormous overall cost of maintaining the state's death penalty machinery might raise doubts in the minds of some who continue to advocate its retention. Perhaps if not convinced by reason, the Christian imperative, the example of other nations as opposed to the example of state brutality, they will be by the cost-benefit analysis. They will see that they cannot have it all ways. In politics as in life, choices must be made, and priorities must be established. Given the staggering statistics, perhaps these folks might think it time to consider their priorities when considering the cost of the death penalty in our current budget.
Recommended Articles
As far back as March 6, 2005, the LA Times reported that maintaining the California death penalty system costs taxpayers more than $114 million a year beyond the cost of simply keeping the convicts locked up for life, not counting the millions more spent on court costs to prosecute capital cases. As of that date, it was reported that it cost us $90,000 more a year to house a prisoner on death row than it does in the general population.
Since then the death row population has increased to 669 prisoners, with an average of 12 more added annually. Needless to say, costs have risen as well. Given the alternatives to which these enormous sums could be allocated toward making our streets safer or our children better educated, are we not getting to the point where we must consider whether or not retention of this practice is cost effective by any measure?
As long as we retain the death penalty, there is no good, economically sound solution. On May 28, an Assembly subcommittee temporarily denied funding for the death row project so as to not throw good money after bad, while the governor insists that a new plan would involve further delays and even greater costs. The only solution to this Gordian knot is to cut the death penalty out of California and free up the hundreds of millions of dollars squandered on maintaining this industry.
Addendum: The Report of the California Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice states at p. 72: The term of imprisonment is the defendant's life. He is being sentenced to die in prison. Not only are the costs of confinement significantly reduced, compared to the cost of confinement on death row, many of the costs of trial and appellate review for death cases are eliminated. And quoting a California auditor's report: the cost of running and staffing the new (and almost already outdated) death row facility for 20 years will dwarf its building costs, coming in at $1.2 billion. Finally, a cost chart on page 84, reviewing several options, places the current annual cost of the death penalty at $137 million and that of life imprisonment without parole LWOP) at $11.5 million.

Popular Science Monthly/Volume 47/July 1895/Climate and Health
By Dr. CHARLES FAYETTE TAYLOR.
IN the divisions of land and water, the situations of the continents, the seas, and the islands in the seas; the mountain ranges and the rivers which have their sources in them; the elevations and depressions of the more even surfaces, together with procession of the seasons and the earth's diurnal revolutions, we have some of the conditions for a great variety of climates. Proceeding from the equator toward the poles or moving along the surface of the earth in any direction, man, who seems to be the toughest animal on the face of the earth, can so adjust himself to varying climatic conditions as to exist in fairly good health almost anywhere, from the steaming equatorial jungles to the regions of perpetual ice and snow, as well as in intermediate locations where often heat and cold vary from one extreme to the other in rapid succession. And yet men live and thrive in nearly all lands and under the most diverse conditions, and with intelligent self-adjustment to their environment they may live well and live out their allotted times as a general rule. While the human race is exceedingly flexible, and can adapt itself rapidly to very diverse conditions, such adaptations, be they rapid or relatively slow, are not accomplished without an expenditure of energy to correspond with the functional modifications thus brought about. We call the process acclimatization, and the person, after subjection to the process, we say is acclimatized. That is to say, the functional activities of such a person have become adjusted to his environment; his functions have learned to harmonize with the temperature, food, humidity, and other influences affecting him. The effect on the individual varies according to his susceptibility and the degree and intensity of the factors acting on him. In some cases sluggish functional activities are energized with a tonic effect. But when that is the case it does not follow that the new climate is necessarily intrinsically better than the one from which he came. In other cases the effect of climate change often proves atonic, depressing, and injurious; but a bad effect on an individual does not prove that the climate is necessarily worse than the one to which he was formerly accustomed. It may happen that influences, good in themselves, may be injudiciously employed: as, if a person requiring a cooler climate, such as that of the coast of Maine, for instance, should try Labrador, and it should be more than he could bear; or, if one needed a milder climate and should find Para too depressing. Even the relatively slight difference between the European and American sides of the Atlantic often proves serious to the immigrant during the process of acclimatization, and many succumb, though it is probably true that the majority of immigrants find themselves invigorated in their new conditions of life on this side of the Atlantic.
My object is to call your attention strongly to the well-known fact that change of climate and its attendant circumstances, even when not of any extreme character or degree, does produce an impression more or less profound on the vital processes, and that the nature, degree, and general therapeutic or pathological character of these influences should be more carefully studied than they have thus far been studied, so that when consulted by our patients we may have some definite advice to give in regard to locations best suited to the inquirer's special needs; or, if we can not do so much, we ought at least to be able to give our patients some very positive ideas as to the kind of climate to seek, and especially what to avoid. For instance, California is seven hundred and seventy miles long. It embraces, according to Dr. Remondino, at least seven climates, distinctly different from each other, and all very different from the climatic conditions existing on this side of our continent. What is the sense in telling a patient with a hole at the top of his lung to "go to California" without instructing him in regard to the location to which he should go, or at least what kind of climate he should look for? Without some specific information such a patient is likely to drop into a place better calculated to shorten than to prolong his days. To be sure, all the climates of California are characterized by a dryness exceeding what is known in the east, and this fact gives some relative advantages. But unquestionably the air may be too dry in certain localities for certain cases. Is it not too much to expect a patient to find out what the doctor who sends him away from home and friends himself does not know? Besides, there are many constituent elements which enter in to make up what we call "climate." The first of these to be mentioned is usually the thermometrical readings, and the "mean" temperature is generally quoted as proof positive of superiority when it varies a few degrees one way or the other from that of another locality with which it is compared. Now, the truth is, that to know the mean temperature of a place, and to know only that, is to know very little about its climate. The physiological effects of a climate must necessarily include the degree of humidity, the force and direction of the prevailing winds, the sunshine and cloudiness; the fogs and their characteristics—whether thin or dense, high or low, whether coming down from the mountains or rolling in from the sea; besides other unmeasurable influences not seen though felt: all these and more must be appreciated in order to give the single factor of relative temperature any positive quality whatever. For instance, the mean temperature of the seven hundred and seventy miles along and near the coast of California varies but a few degrees, though the extremes vary much. But the physiological effects of the climates of different areas vary greatly. There are stiff northwest winds from off the Pacific, carrying a thin, swift-moving fog that chills an invalid to the bone, during July and August in San Francisco. To correspond to the sensations, the thermometer there lies like a cheap watch, and should be twenty degrees lower. A few miles back from the coast, with less wind and little fog, one's bodily comfort is perfect, and life is worth living, though the unlucky thermometer persists in recording nearly the same average as when you had been shivering on the coast. I conclude that the physiological influence of a given temperature below a certain degree, say below sixty, with the wind ten or fifteen miles an hour, is equal to at least ten or fifteen degrees lower in scale. On the other hand, a thermometrical showing of 90º and over is not uncomfortable if there is a gentle breeze and little humidity, but with a strong wind becomes a sirocco, when prostrations are numerous, and, if long continued, many aged and feeble die under its influence. In one of the interior valleys of California I have seen the thermometer indicate 100º to 110º F. for days and weeks together, and no one complained of the heat as excessive, while all labor of man and beast went on as usual, and prostrations are unknown. I refer to the temperature in the shade. In the sun, where men work, it must be ten or fifteen degrees higher. In New York, when summer heat approaches 90º we expect many prostrations and some deaths. I am not trying to show that 110º of heat in California with no prostrations is a better climate than New York at 90º and many prostrations, but to illustrate the principle that we must know much more about a climate than what the thermometer can tell us before we know very much about it. I kept a record of the temperature in Martinique, one of the Windward Islands lying in 14º north latitude, and it never went above 86º F., nor so high but two or three times during a residence of three seasons, and once so late as the 1st of July. But no sensible person would dare to expose himself to the midday sun with the same impunity that he could in this latitude and a corresponding temperature. The ever-present humidity, bordering on saturation, in the tropics is an important modifying element to be taken into account.
Again, temperature may depend on latitude or on altitude; but it is not a matter of small moment which the cause may be. Sixty degrees of heat at the level of the sea and on the seashore are very unlike in physiological effect to 60º in the dry and rarefied air of an elevated inland situation. There is no doubt that considerable moisture in the air favors the growth of minute organisms, and decomposition of matter takes place rapidly under the influence of heat and moisture. On the other hand, a dry air retards decomposition, and, if sufficiently dry, prevents it entirely, no matter how hot it may be. The Sacramento Valley is very hot in the summer, but it is also dry, so that friends of mine would kill a beef and elevate the carcass by means of rope and pulley to the top of a tall pole, let it down from time to time to cut from it, and it would keep perfectly sweet until it was all eaten up. A good illustration of conditions retarding or favoring the growth of minute organisms may be seen during the orange harvest in portions of California. The altitude of Redlands, California, averages about fifteen hundred feet above sea level. Fogs seldom reach there, the sun shines clear more than three hundred days of the year, and there is not a speck of mildew on any fruit. But go forty miles nearer the sea and seven or eight hundred feet down nearer the sea level, and at every station you will see many people washing oranges. More fogs, denser air, less sunshine, more humidity favor fungous growths. On the high table lands of the central portions of the continent, at an altitude of six or eight thousand feet, as in Wyoming, where a friend lives, milk does not "sour" or change under a week or ten days, and the carcasses of dead cattle, of which there are many, give no offensive stench, but slowly dry up and waste away, showing that comparatively few organic germs exist there, and that the conditions for their rapid propagation are unfavorable. From the facts just stated—and they are representative facts—it would be too hasty to conclude that the higher and drier locality is essentially more healthy than the lower and moister locality, even for consumptives, until we have mastered and estimated the quality and energy of the other meteorological influences. There is another fact which has come under my personal observation which must be taken into consideration. It is that life in those elevated nonmicrobian regions is not without its drawbacks. Whether it is due to the increased action of the heart in the rarefied atmosphere, the constant hammering of the nerves by the winds and the fierce sunshine, or all these and other causes, people in those regions have a thin and tired look, and it is found useful and often necessary, especially in cases of women and children, to visit lower, damper, and more germ-laden regions in order to recuperate. It is important that the air we breathe should contain as few disease germs as possible; but it is still more important that we should breathe an air and live under such climatic conditions as shall most conduce to such general bodily vigor as will resist the entrance of disease germs into the organism, or destroy them if an entrance is once effected. It is quite conceivable that a dry atmosphere containing few microbes may be too dry for an irritable mucous membrane, and set up catarrhs which may furnish nesting places for disease germs; while a moister, softer air, though holding many more microbian elements, may be more advantageous, at least in certain cases. In these latter days, in the wonderful strides which have been made and are constantly being made in bacteriology, perhaps we are in some danger of losing sight of meteorology in its relations to health and disease. It seems to me that climatology has heretofore to a large extent resolved itself into a search for some place where consumptives can not die. There is no such place. There is no place where the ever-present bacillus may not get in its deadly work. The chief question in climatology in its relation to health should be, "In what climate, or by what changes and influences of different climates, can we be best invigorated for good existence in the location where we are obliged to live the greater portion of our lives?" Many other causes besides tuberculosis men die of. Among civilized people, especially among our pushing Americans, debility, nervous exhaustion in one form or another, from overactivity of brain or body, render multitudes asthenic and vulnerable to the invasion of disease. We say that such cases need to be "toned up." This is undoubetdly true, but there are many cases in which the first step in "toning up" should properly be to tone them down. By that I mean that it is necessary to diminish the unnecessary expenditure of energy which has become a fixed habit of life. We all, as a rule, are too prodigal of our resources, and squander vast quantities in excess of what the occasion requires. It is amazing to see people, intelligent about ordinary things, traveling for their health at a rate that suggests that they have been shot out of a gun. Many do, of course, get a limited benefit in the change of subjects of thought, but they often mistake change of feeling due to excitement for recuperation. We need to learn how to stop. Instead of rushing across the face of the earth in the delusive hope of finding health on the other side, we need to learn how to sit down and make ourselves comfortable where we are. A man who had lived to a great age in health and contentment was asked to give some simple rule of life out of his experience. In reply, he said, "The only rule I can give is, 'Always keep comfortable'" I feel confident that a well-selected residence in the tropics from time to time will prove helpful in acquiring habits of reposefulness. Tropical heat is not oppressive, as many who have not tried it seem to suppose. It is very different from the same-temperature as indicated by the thermometer during a northern summer. One does not fret about the tropical heat as he is apt to do here, but is inclined to keep quiet, lie down and sleep a good deal during the daytime as well as profoundly all night. Wakefulness is a rarity. The relief from nervous tension and irritability is inexpressibly delightful. The increased action of the skin relieves and gives needed rest to overworked kidneys, the air passages are bathed by a moist, bland, nonirritating, warm air, no chilly draughts scourge the nerve centers into activities wasteful of energy, morbid appetites are allayed, digestion is improved in sympathy with increased skin activity, and the poor invalid begins to feel that, after all, life may be worth living. It is a delusion, born of constant assertions of the advocates of negro slavery before the war, that white people can not work in the tropics. The island of Porto Rico was originally settled by Catalonian peasants, and the major part of the farm labor has from the beginning till now—say for approaching four hundred years—been done by white men. True, negro slavery was introduced there, but of a milder type than in the other islands; and the blacks never amounted to much more than one third of the population, and they rapidly mixed with their Spanish colaborers beside whom they worked. The facts are still more startling in regard to the Spanish Main. Along the coasts of Central America the mahogany cutters, called "Indians" are mostly of mixed negro blood; and along the unhealthy shores of the Magdalen a River, or wherever the sugar cane is cultivated, negro slaves were introduced, and their descendants, largely mixed with the Indian race, still remain. Even in Brazil the negroes and their descendants are confined to a few provinces, and never to exclude white labor; and in numbers the African blood constitutes but a small proportion of the ten or twelve millions in that country—certainly not enough to influence the following statement: From the southern border of the United States through Mexico, the republics of Central America, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chili, Paraguay, Uruguay, the larger part of Brazil, Argentina, down to Patagonia, with the exceptions above mentioned, there is not now and there never has been any farm labor but white farm labor since the settlement of that vast continent; and the widest portion is directly under the equator. I do not include the Indians in this statement, because when wild they do not work in the sense here meant, and when brought under the influence of the Spanish and Portuguese civilization they immediately mix with and become essentially one with their white coworkers. I do not deny that there are pestilential lagoons which are more pestilential than any similar territory to be found north. But I do not believe that, shunning local conditions which would be bad anywhere, and worse in the tropics, well-selected locations are unhealthy because of tropical heat and moisture, except in certain cases. On the other hand, I believe that almost all elderly people and a large number of overworked and tired-out persons would find that tropical life costs a largely diminished outlay of energy with a corresponding husbanding of nervous.and metabolic forces. In illustration of the foregoing statement I give the following facts:
The island of Dominica lies in fifteen degrees north latitude and contained twenty-nine thousand people in 1885. Dr. Nicholls, the chief medical officer of the island, whom I personally know, made a report to the managers of the Colonial Exhibition held in London in the year 1886, in which he stated that the death rate of the preceding year was fifteen and a half per thousand of the population—that is to say, the death rate in this small island, deep in the tropics, was less by ten per thousand than the average for New York city. The people are mostly blacks. Further inquiries revealed the fact that there were, at that time, three hundred and ninety-one white people—men, women, and children—and that there had been two deaths among them during the previous year: one from apoplexy and one, a nun, died from phthisis, which she had brought from England, she having come to the island in the hope of benefit to her health. In fact, there was not one death among the whites from any disease generally supposed to be especially tropical. The death rate is higher in some of the other islands, but not higher, according to the best information I could get, than in northern communities from the same classes of diseases. It should also be remembered that many of the West India Islands are in a deplorably bad sanitary condition, exposing them to be scourged from time to time by importations of yellow fever, smallpox, and such like epidemics, when, of course, the death rate is largely increased. The foregoing applies more especially to the Windward Islands, which possess some conspicuous advantages over the Greater Antilles, in that they lie in the path of the northeast trade winds, and, being small, the winds sweep over them as over the deck of a ship. There is no alternating sea breeze and land breeze, because there is not sufficient land to be heated by day to form an upward current, and to cool by night and form a downward and outward current; but there is always a gentle movement of the air toward the west, without the intervals of calms which characterize the Greater Antilles. But any of the West India Islands, no doubt, furnish many locations in good sanitary condition where the intelligent invalid may find bodily and mental repose, and let his muscles relax and take comfort, while his enfeebled skin, long constringed by cold and debilitated by clothing, is stimulated by genial warmth to doing its long.-neglected duty, for a time at least, while the kidneys, heart, and lungs are given a much-needed rest.
It should be understood that I do not think all cases would be benefited by a sojourn in a tropical climate, but I feel assured that for a large number of carefully selected cases no resource of climate can be so promotive of improved metabolism as a well-selected location and suitably regulated life during several winter months in the tropics, from time to time, especially if closely followed by a change to a higher latitude or altitude and cooler locality during the following summer.
Not least among the advantages of a tropical climate for a temporary sojourn in certain cases is the change of food which is, or at least ought to be, always effected. It would be a very unwise proceeding to subsist upon a diet essentially the same as one is accustomed to at home. In the first place, there are not many of our American stomachs that do not need a rest, and one of the objects to be sought in living in a warm climate is to give the overworked stomach a chance to recuperate; not only because there is no necessity for the same amount and quality of food to be digested, but we can find in the fruits of a country food which is not only very easily digested, but which supplies nearly all the requisites for wholesome nutrition under the changed conditions. The best fruits of the tropics are very perishable—so much so that we never see them in New York. Now, I am not advocating an exclusively fruit diet; but I think when people from the north go to the tropics for "climatic therapeutics" they should make it a point to eat very sparingly of meats and even farinaceous food, and endeavor to supply Nature's wants by using largely of the fruits of the country—especially those soft, sweet, and perishable fruits which do not last more than a day or two. Thus we have, besides the influences of steady warmth and moisture, the added advantage of a change of diet, which is no small factor in modifying the metabolism which we seek.
I have spoken of the Windward Islands as being especially desirable during the three or four months of the so-called "dry season," or from December to May, and of the whole West India Islands as furnishing desirable locations for climatic rejuvenation. The West Indies are especially interesting because communication is so easy and constant and relatively cheap; they are practically at our door, and it seems to me that they should be studied more. The Spanish Main also furnishes a great variety of especially desirable locations which can be used for the same purposes; but in speaking to the question of climate in "therapeutics" my object is not to advocate any particular point, but to illustrate the general subject.
When one has become rested by a some months' sojourn in a tropical region, and, as the season advances, goes north instead of sweltering in New York or other corresponding place, it would be well to go to the seashore or to the mountains, where he would receive another form of tonic to his already partially recuperated energies. In that way we should be using the climate as an essentially "therapeutic means."[2]
The larger number of invalids and tired-out people will continue to go to Europe for their change, and undoubtedly that is the better course for the majority, and, when properly managed, the "therapy of climate" may be sufficiently realized in that manner in most cases. I do not include those people who travel for pleasure only, or where change of climate is the secondary object, though in many instances even those persons do reap real advantage from the considerable change in food, air, and the surrounding conditions of life. There are many advantages to Americans in visiting Europe, not the least of which is the change of interests which new and different objects for contemplation furnish, and that fill the mind without taxing it to the temporary displacement of the business, political, domestic, or other cares and anxieties which are apt to hold our American mind in a tenacious grip from sheer force of habit. With three thousand miles of ocean behind us, it is not easy to talk "shop" with the neighbor at our elbow during the ten minutes some people devote to their lunch or dinner, and we are almost obliged by prevailing custom to take a reasonable time at meals and be quiet about it. I believe that the climate of Europe is no better than ours, and in some respects not so good. I am told that life-insurance statistics—the most reliable of all—show that the life expectation is somewhat longer among American risks than in European; and there seems to be no evidence among athletes or race-horses that bodily vigor is not equal here, to say the least, to anything across the water. But there is a difference in meteorological conditions, and this difference may be very effectually used to invigorate and improve the metabolism in a large number of cases if we keep this object steadily in mind and manage toward the accomplishment of this end. There is not only the mental relaxation not possible here in the midst of ordinary pursuits, but the change of climatic conditions, though not so great as a change to tropical lands, is still considerable—quite enough, when properly utilized, in connection with mental and bodily rest, change of food and cooking, change of many habits, and the gentle but quite positive mental tonic of new scenes and new interests. With some important exceptions to be presently noticed, I do not think it makes very much difference where our American tired-out or half invalids go, provided they actually get rest and always keep comfortable. Of course, I do not include those thousands who are always on the rush, "doing" Europe. Among other influences there is no doubt, in my mind, of the great therapeutic value in many cases of well-regulated courses of mineral waters, when the cases and the waters are carefully selected and as carefully directed to the peculiarities of each case. Nothing could be more reprehensible, from the therapeutic point of view, than for an American family to turn itself loose in Carlsbad, for instance, and drink haphazard of these powerful waters—powerful for harm as well as for good—without the advice of a competent physician, experienced in their use and effects, as I have been told our brethren sometimes do. My experience with physicians at some half dozen European spas has been very satisfactory, and leads me to believe that the local doctors are generally capable, honest men, and that their advice ought to be generally sought and followed with confidence in the use of the waters. But we, on this side, ought to be able to give clear advice, if not as to the particular mineral spring, at least as to the general character of the waters to be sought; and especially it is always important to urge our countrymen not to overdo the matter. I am speaking more especially of that vast horde of tired-out health-seekers who annually cross the Atlantic and for whom there can be no better therapy than judicious change of climate, including mineral waters for a certain number as an added and potent alterative. Taking Carlsbad as perhaps the representative spa of the Continent, I am of the opinion that there are few middle-aged or elderly persons who are not decidedly the better for having their capillaries physicked and their emunctories cleaned out once in a while by a course of Carlsbad water sufficient for that purpose; and it is astonishing what a small quantity of the water will sometimes do it to the extent here contemplated.
There is some danger to the novice in going into semitropical regions in being unacquainted with and unprepared for the degree of apparent cold which he is likely to find to his great surprise. And when he looks at the thermometer he is further surprised to see it so high while his feelings indicate a much lower temperature. He is still more astonished to notice that the natives do not mind the cold that makes the novice shiver. The fact is that without his accustomed fire and housewarming facilities, and subjected to air currents, the practical temperature in its physiological effects is much lower than the thermometer registers. In Spain, Italy, and in general along the Mediterranean shore, they have a semitropical climate during eight or nine months of the year, during which time the native inhabitants hold their calorifacient function in reserve, and when they reach their short and moderately cold season they have no difficulty in drawing sufficiently on their reserve heat-making power. The man from the north has no such reserve, and what he has the temperature is not sufficiently stimulating to call into full activity. He has used up his caloric in the greater cold of the north. People from the extreme south enjoy their first northern winter. I met, in Teneriffe, an intelligent captain of a whaling ship who had several times fished in the Bering Sea. He said it is customary for whalers to make up for loss of men from desertions by taking on South Sea islanders. He said they bear the cold and hardships of the north as well as New Bedford whalemen, and in proof related the following incident: One morning, when far north, he noticed on coming on deck one of his South Sea islanders entirely naked taking a bath. There was a strong wind blowing, and it was so cold that the water he dashed over him froze as it struck the deck. The man seemed to enjoy it, though he had never seen frozen water or snow before. There are good reasons why people of the north with impaired stamina should not expect to bear exposure so well as natives of semitropical regions and should make themselves, in regard to temperature, more comfortable than would be sufficient for the natives.
Northern people should be particularly careful in going to a climate with a temperature too low for comfort without a fire and too high for comfort with a fire. Even the increased sunshine is not sufficiently constant, and all rooms do not face the south. No matter what natives may say, Americans ought always to have the means for heating when occasion requires, and a southern aspect to their rooms everywhere in southern Europe, if they are at. all sensitive to cold, irrespective of the thermometer, or else travel north till they come to fireplaces, stoves, ovens, or other means for artificial warmth. Inquiry into the sanitation not only of residences but of the towns should never be neglected. I suppose the climate of the southern and southeastern coast of Spain is perhaps the most genial on the Mediterranean, and equally the most dangerous for Americans to abide in on account of the lack of proper drainage and other attention to sanitation. But the same may be said of much of the coast except on portions of the Riviera, where in certain places much improvement has been and is being effected in that respect.
There are generally good reasons for many of the customs and habits of the natives of any region, and there will be found advantages in adopting many of their ideas and methods so far as practicable. Along the Riviera people flock indoors with the going down of the sun: and there is good reason for it. At Nice, I have seen the thermometer register a fall of 25º F. within an hour as the sun neared the horizon. Such sudden cooling might be dangerous to an American dyspeptic with his limited power of reaction. Going indoors reduces this difference of temperature. Right across the Gulf of Lyons, in Barcelona, Spain, in nearly the same latitude and about the same mean temperature, the habit of the people is to be out of doors in the evening, promenading, visiting theaters and cafés, and the ladies doing their shopping till midnight and after. They find evening the best time for many purposes because there is very little change between the temperatures day and night. My thermometer was hung in an alley which the sun never reached, and all I could make it do was to record the extreme difference of two degrees between six o'clock in the morning and two o'clock in the afternoon during a week. I was still a thermometer dupe at that time. I have since broken my thermometers, and they will never endanger my sanity any more.
But it is not always convenient or even possible for one needing the therapeutic advantages of change of climate to go to Europe, nor is such a change necessary or even desirable in many cases. There is a great deal of as good climate as the world affords in our own country; and almost any change from low to high temperature, from damp to dry, from low to high altitudes, from seashore to mountains, from regions of high cultivation to the balsamic air of primeval forests or the reverse, can be had without the fatigue and expense of long sea voyages and wide stretches of turbulent sea between the traveler and anxious friends at home. The "sunny south" offers much that is admirable both in quality and variety of climate suited to various conditions. The main idea should not be the search for the perfect climate which does nowhere exist, but the question should be, "What change is indicated for the case in hand?" The question, to be properly answered, necessarily includes a knowledge of the region in which the individual has been living. Shall an inhabitant of Virginia go south or north for the winter? Or, had he better go west, or northwest, or southwest? Shall a New-Yorker go to Florida, and, if to Florida, shall it be into the tonic Atlantic breezes of the eastern shore, or the milder and softer air of the Gulf coast? Does this person's condition and meteorological surroundings indicate a change to the rarefied air of Colorado or to the denser atmosphere of Tennessee, Michigan, or Minnesota? Ought the change to be to the moist breezes and frequent rains of Washington in the northwest or to the constant sunshine and more even temperature of southern California in the semitropical southwest? If the Pacific slope seems indicated, shall it be in the coast cool winds or the warm and calm interior valley? Or, had we not better make a new climate of our own? The bosom of great Ocean furnishes a variety of climates all its own. In former days a sea voyage was much resorted to for chronic invalids, and with decided advantages in many cases. A life at sea, if at all prolonged, has the disadvantage of leaving too many comforts behind to be recommended for any but the young and comparatively robust. It is said that three hundred miles from land the air is free from living germs. Many persons have returned from long voyages in health entirely restored.
But we need not go to sea, or go abroad, or even to the south, or to the wide west. We can make a climate of our own if we properly work for that end. It is not even necessary to rattle over ten miles of pavement in order to get a change of air. We have it right there on the veranda; we can have it fresh from the outside grand air, by opening the windows and opening them wide till all the stale air in the room is blown out and all the room is filled with ozone. We can change our food at home if we like. I know a man who almost rejuvenated himself by living on little else than fish, oysters, and clam juice for three months. We can regulate the temperature and take a sun-bath whenever the sun shines. And we can stop fretting if we are sufficiently determined to do so. Actions are but the evidence of a predetermination. Why not determine to change our climate, when there is benefit to be derived from such change?
It has always been the unsolved puzzle of my professional life that so many people insist on reaching out to a distance for much that can be had better right at hand if they would but open their hand and take it. This is especially so in regard to climate and changes of climate. Notwithstanding positive directions to the contrary, many a child in pain with joint disease has been taken out miles over rough pavements "for the air," while every jolt was agony, when the same air could be had in his bedroom, with pleasure and safety, by bundling him up and opening the windows and keeping them open. It is against the law to live in cellars, but we make cellars of our rooms by keeping them filled with impure air. I do not inveigh, as it is the fashion to do, against the temperature at which our American houses are kept; a higher temperature is a necessity of our climate; but some one has yet to secure a fortune and the blessings of mankind by devising a system which will keep our houses always filled with living, moving, fresh air, and that will oblige everybody to attend to this matter as he ought.
And here I wish to enter an earnest protest against the practice of sending patients, often far gone with consumption or other wasting disease, away from friends and the comforts of home, without knowledge of what would be best for them, in a fruitless search for health, when, in their enfeebled state, better conditions could be instituted at home where at least they could die in peace. Some, not too far gone, do recover, it is fortunately true, but many lie buried there, and more are sent east in long boxes. On my last trip east, a young girl sat in front of me, whose mother's body accompanied her, and opposite me sat a gentleman and his wife whose daughter's body was also in the baggage car. In neither of these instances had the invalids been more than a short time west. Too many such things are happening for the credit of our profession. Send patients, in time, with a definite intention in the change of climate sought, or do not send them at all.
My object has been to call attention to the many and often difficult questions involved in the therapeutics of climate in its wide and varied significance. Probably no one now lives who is capable of answering all the questions relating to "therapeutics of climate," but they will be answered some day and correctly answered; and when answered it will be found, I believe, as a general thing, that the best climate for consumptives is also the best for other persons in like general physical conditions. Twenty years after our profession more fully realizes the immense value of "climate in therapeutics"—and hundreds of capable men have been studying the subject from that point alone, and valuable material has been created to draw upon—a climato-therapy may be formulated which will give the divine art of healing a new uplifting, not less glorious than that which in our day has attended the labors of Pasteur, Koch, Lister, and others whose immortal services have so enriched the world.

Copper Lake Resources Ltd. (TSXV:CPL)(FRANKFURT:W0I) (âCopper Lakeâ or the âCompanyâ) is pleased to announce the Company has completed new plate modelling of VTEM surveys and outlined 6 plate anomalies in the core Marshall Lake area.
The Company has reviewed the 6 modelled plate anomalies and will focus on 3 which have significant adjacent historical massive sulphide drill intercepts.
- VTEM-001 modelled plate at Billiton South is located down dip of hole MAR-07-11 which:
- Intersected 10.20m @ 1.25% Cu, 1.04% Zn, 56g/t Ag & 0.04g/t Au from 115.0m
- Including 4.00m @ 1.93% Cu, 1.73% Zn, 86g/t Ag & 0.07 g/t Au from 124.0m
- VTEM-003 modelled plate at Teck Hill South was intersected by hole TK-08-09 which:
- Intersected 4.25m @ 3.79% Cu, 0.27 g/t Au, 38g/t Ag from 93.25m; and
- 4.70m @ 2.34% Cu, 0.11g/t Au, 25g/t Ag from 106.5m
- VTEM-002 modelled plate at Gazooma is located down dip of the following drill holes;
- 4.00m @ 1.73% Cu, 0.27g/t Au, & 34g/t Ag in hole GAZ-07-10 from 89.0m
- 3.00m @ 1.88% Cu, 0.62g/t Au, & 42g/t Ag in hole GAZ-10-15 from 127.0m
- 10.00m @ 1.18% Cu, 0.26g/t Au, & 28g/t Ag in hole GAZ-08-12 from 127.0m
Copper Lake Interim CEO Terry MacDonald stated that, âThe 2016 VTEM plate modelling program resulted in 6 key VTEM plate anomalies. Review of the modelled plates in collaboration with the newly compiled historical drilling database has shown that 3 of modelled VTEM plates (VTEM-001, VTEM-002 and VTEM-003) have adjacent historical drill holes which intersected significant copper-zinc-silver-gold mineralization. The 3 selected plates all remain open at depth and present themselves as drill ready targets.
It is the Company's intention to drill test these high priority targets as soon as possible and we currently have a plan to conduct a drilling program that will consist of a minimum of 3,000 metres of drilling.â
2016 Database Compilation work
During 2016 Copper Lake completed a data base compilation of all historical exploration work on the Marshall Lake project area including drilling, surface sampling and geophysical VTEM, IP and magnetic surveys. This compilation and interpretation resulted in the plate modelling of 6 VTEM anomalies within the core Marshall Lake area. The compilation and review of historical drilling has shown that 3 of the plates have adjacent drill holes hosting significant copper-zinc-gold-silver mineralization corresponding with extensions of the modelled plates.
All plates modelled occur within the main mineralized horizon occurring within the Marshall Lake area associated with a felsic tuff package of volcaniclastic units. The location of the other modelled plates and occurrence of other copper mineralized zones historically intersected in drill holes is being reviewed.
VTEM-001: South Billiton Zone
VTEM plate modelling showed an east dipping plate in the South Billiton area where the main modelled plate corresponds with the down dip extensions of massive sulphide mineralization intersected in hole MAR-07-11 hosted within a felsic tuffaceous volcaniclastic package (see Figure 2). Historical drilling completed in 2007 drilled over the top of the plate and intersected massive sulphide lenses containing up to 4.0m @ 1.93% Cu, 1.73% Zn, 86g/t Ag and 0.07g/t Au at a depth of 124.0m (Table 1).

|Hole #
|From (m)
|To (m)

|Cu (%)
|Zn (%)
|Ag (g/t)
|Au (g/t)
Intercepts are calculated using a 0.5% Cu cut-off grade, maximum 1m internal dilution and no top capping. Intercepts are drill widths.
VTEM-003: Teck Hill South Zone
VTEM plate modelling of anomalies in the Teck Hill South area showed a shallow east dipping plate where the main modelled plate corresponds with the lower of two zones of massive sulphide mineralization intersected in hole TK-08-09. The massive sulphide zones intersected are hosted within an east dipping felsic tuffaceous volcaniclastic package (see Figure 3). Historical drilling completed in 2008 drilled into the upper extensions of the plate and intersected massive sulphide lenses containing up to 4.25m @ 3.79% Cu, 1.04% Zn, 56g/t Ag and 0.04g/t Au at a depth of 93.25m and a second zone at a depth of 106.50m hosting 4.70m @ 2.34% Cu, 25g/t Ag and 0.11g/t Au. A number of historical holes tested the felsic unit above the modelled plated but were too shallow to test the main zone of mineralization or the VTEM plate.

Intercepts are calculated using a 0.5% Cu cut-off grade, maximum 1m internal dilution and no top capping. Intercepts are drill widths
VTEM-002: Gazooma Zone VTEM Plate Modelling
Plate modelling of the VTEM-002 anomaly at Gazooma showed a gently east dipping plate down dip of several mineralized intercepts intersected in historical drilling (see Figure 4). Massive sulphide intercepts intersected up dip of the modelled plate intersected zones of 4.0m @ 1.73% Cu, 0.27g/t Au, and 34g/t Ag in holes GAZ-07-10, 3.0m @ 1.88% Cu, 0.62g/t Au, & 42g/t Ag in hole GAZ-10-15 and 10.0m @ 1.18% Cu, 0.26g/t Au, & 28g/t Ag in hole GAZ-08-12. The VTEM-002 modelled plate represents down dip extensions of these zones of mineralization. Historical significant results from drilling above the plate are listed in Table 3. A number of relatively shallow historical holes have tested the tuffaceous felsic volcaniclastic unit located above the VTEM plate. However, the main modelled plate remains untested and is one of the 3 priority drill targets.

VTEM Surveys and Plate Modelling
Plate modelling and interpretation was conducted by Jenna McKenzie, P.Geo of Ronacher McKenzie Geoscience with assistance from Winnie Pun, P.Eng who conducted the modelling using EMIT software Maxwell. Bob Lo P.Eng advised and reviewed all of the models. The modelling was performed on 2 Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (âVTEMâ) surveys flown by Geotech Ltd in 2007. Survey 7014 covers the central portion of Marshall Lake and consists of 178.9 line-km flown at 150m line spacing covering 22.8sq.km and Survey 7083 covers the surrounding area consisting of 1,308 line-km flown at 150m line spacing covering 196.5 sq.km.
QA/QC Procedures
For the 2007 to 2010 drilling, half core was cut, sampled and shipped to the ALS-Chemex sample preparation facility in Thunder Bay. The prepared pulp was assayed for Au by fire assay, and base metals by multi-element ICP by ALS-Chemex in Vancouver. Certified standards were routinely inserted and pulp repeat assays performed. Preparation and assaying was performed to industry standards.

FES History
Foreign Engine Service was established in August 1974 as a sole proprietorship consisting of the owner and two techs.
The new current owner joined FES in September 1976 on a part time basis while still attending college.
After receiving his certificate in automotive training in July 1977 he became the third full time tech.
In 1987 the original owner had bought the property and expanded his business into a second section of the building added another tech and rented the remaining section of the building as an auto body shop.
Growth had continued to the point where the business occupied the entire building offering six bays, eight full time techs, and parts driver.
At the time of the original owners death in September 2001, the business had down sized to a manager, four techs, and a part-time parts driver.
On December 14, 2001 The current owner bought the business and customer satisfaction became his number one priority!
If you haven't been in to visit since the change in ownership, the new owner would like to personally extend an invitation to you to come down and meet him and the new FES.

Apologies for the delay in posting this report – I did mean to do it far sooner. Better late than never though, eh?
ELISA's Winter Warmer social 2015 took place on the evening of Monday the 9th of February.
Around fifteen ELISA members turned up to the National Library of Scotland, George IV Bridge for a special tour of the Game of Crowns: the 1715 Jacobite rising exhibition, led by Rare Books Curator Robert Betteridge.
I arrived at NLS a little after 5pm to find the first group had already set off on their tour round the exhibit. I chatted with those left behind and enjoyed the very tasty snacks that were on offer – many thanks to Fiona for organising those… Once Group 1 returned, me and the rest of Group 2 had our chance to view the exhibition.
Robert kindly gave me permission to take photos for inclusion in this report.
It's amazing to me that such a literal scrap of history is not only still in existence, it is here on display for my viewing pleasure!

The depot was discovered and destroyed by the Syrian officials after intense intelligence operations, a source said on Thursday (June 23).
He added that the large cache included different types of mid and small US-made machine guns and long-range sniper guns as well as anti-tank RPGs.
In a relevant development in Damascus province on Wednesday, two notorious commanders of Ahrar al-Sham were killed in heavy fighting with the Syrian military troops in Western Ghouta.
The commanders of Ahrar al-Sham were killed near the city of Darayya in Southeastern Damascus.
Also on Tuesday, the Syrian Army troops pushed Ajnad al-Sham terrorists back from a strategic road in Western Ghouta, inflicting major losses on the terrorists.
"Ajnad Al-Sham launched a new offensive inside the strategic town of Darayya to reopen the road between Darayya and Mo'adhamiyeh," the sources said, adding, "At first, Ajnad al-Sham captured 9 points from the Syrian soldiers between Darayya and Mo'adhamiyeh, but the Syrian Armed Forces launched a counter-attack took back the lost 9 points."
"Ajnad al-Sham suffered a heavy death toll, including 2 of the group's military commanders in the failed attacks," the sources said.

Craig Adams
Name: Craig Adams
Birth Name: Craigory Dewayne Adams
Hometown: Fort Worth, Texas, USA
Birthplace: Lubbock, Texas, USA
Died: 2020-11-03 (Age:59)
Pro Boxer: Record
Craig Adams, aka Craigory Dewayne Adamez, along with his older identical twin brother Gregory Delayne Adamez, started training to become a boxer at 10 years old. Residing in Lubbock, Texas, Adams would watch boxing highlights of his "big brother" Ronny on the weekend television sports roundup. Adams would also collect newspaper clipping and photos of his "big brother." And being a gifted cartoonist and portrait artist, along with his twin brother, Adams and he started to catch the eyes of teachers and professional artists with their drawing abilites. They'd draw portraits of Ronny and other sports figures. Before long their academically-inclined mother -- a registered nurse and an arch-clothier -- who was also a portrait artist standout, put "the twins" in private school. But having the boxing itch, "the twins" followed Ronny and their other big brother Danny Adams to Fort Worth (Texas), to start boxing in amateur competition at 12 years old.
The rangy, orthodox boxer of the fighting, identical twins, Adams was known as "Cruising Craig." Over 6-foot-tall, with a machine-gun-like jab and a booming right cross, his amateur record was 279-27 with 81 stoppages. Of all the fighting Adams brothers, it's been reported that "Craig Adams was robbed the most" of decisions that he appeared to have "won in runaway fashion." (A controversial lost that he suffered in the semi-finals of the 1977 Star-Telegram Texas State Golden Gloves is noted by many boxing aficionados -- who witnessed it -- as one worst decisions of all times in amateur competition. Nevertheless, according to his amateur coaches Don Leemaster and former professional heavyweight boxer Clarence Boone -- a challenger of Big George Foreman -- "none match the robbery job done on him when he pulled a Sugar Ray Robinson-style beatdown on Mickey Webb in the finals of the 1976 Southwestern Regional IX Junior Olympic Championships.) Adams, along with his brothers, was successful in winning Junior Olympics, Golden Gloves, AAU and several national invitational amateur titles. They (along with oldest brother Ronny who was a multi-time U.S. All-Navy and international amateur champion between 1977 and 1983) won Western, Southwestern, Midwestern and Southern Diamond Belt tournaments and "Tournament of Champions" challenges in 1974 through 1978.
Adams fought only once as a professional. Ahead on points, he threw his shoulder out of socket and wasn't able to continue in the six round, losing his only pro bout. Finish with boxing, Adams and twin brother Greg became popular marathon and long-distant road race runners. They also worked for the U.S. government in the American Armed Forces Exchange Services, while writing, producing and publishing songs and lyrics.
In 2005, at different times, Adams (in April) and his twin brother Greg (in August) were victims of medical error and malpractice. Adams survived and has been awarded several thousands of dollars. Greg died. A lawsuit settlement is pending, as of today.
Adams, single, with no children, is a movie buff. He still resides in Fort Worth, Texas.
WRITER'S NOTE: Adams's multi-heritage includes Ethiopian (Tigraway and Somalie), Egyptian/Sudanese (Nuubi), Filipino Mestizo (Aeta aboriginal, Chinese and Cebuano), and Taiwanese aboriginal.

A day off again and it's been quite nice so far. I slept in, later than I expected but figured why not? I had nowhere to go and no one to see. Actually I did have places to go and there were people to see.
Last night after writing I watched The Great Ziegfeld. I had never seen it before and it was entertaining. Big sets, William Powell, Fanny Brice and stage and dance numbers that I thought were choreographed by Busby Berkeley. Very elaborate scenes were created by Seymour Felix.
It's the type of movie my mother probably loved. Glitz, glamor and Hollywood, or in this case, Hollywood's version of Broadway. It was quite a long movie on Turner Classic Movies and I didn't watch the whole thing, opting to go to bed at 1:30.
I didn't wake up to anything on the radio since the clock radio also had the day off. I roused myself out of bed and showered, made some coffee. On my days off I do like to have eggs for breakfast and that meant I needed to go out and get some eggs. And bagels. And the paper.
On my way out I gathered up the mail I collected for Julio & Stine and dropped it off. I spoke with Julio yesterday and he complained he was sick. Alexander had gotten sick in Denmark as did his grandmother. Some type of flu. They all recovered and Julio had gone to work when I stopped by.
I sat with Stine and Alexander for a little while, while Alexander played with his Play-Doh, making 'snakes'. His vocabulary has gotten bigger, and his English was very good. According to Stine when he was in Denmark, he spoke nothing but Danish, as he speaks to his mother in her native tongue all the time. When Alexander saw me, he switched to English. And he is still the cute lad.
After leaving Stine & Alexander I walked up to Washington Street, got the paper, some bagels and then it was off to the bibliothèque. I picked up the new LCD Soundsystem CD and returned Florence and the Machine's last disc. Also picked up Inglorious Basterds on DVD which I had seen already and figured I might watch it again.
The other night I watched most of The Book of Eli which was incredibly lackluster. I am a sucker for apocalyptic movies and this one was made for suckers. Mila Kunis was the best thing in it. There is no one to root for in the movie, except perhaps the nuclear war that occurred before I tuned in.
I just watched Hot Tub Time Machine since I am also an occasional sucker for dumb, low brow movies and this certainly was dumb and low brow with just a few laughs thrown in. Maybe there were more than a few laughs but if they occurred, they happened when I was out of the room making dinner since I had lost interest in the movie midway through.
A quiet night, Bill doing a reading in midtown. I just had dinner and don't plan on doing much of anything for the rest of the night. A simple plan for a simple man.

2nd Annual Arbor Day Tree Planting
For the second year, students from schools in Coal Creek and Elk Valley grew
American chestnuts in classroom nurseries and then transplanted them to a
surface mine site to celebrate Arbor Day. In addition to planting 400
American chestnut seedlings, students from Briceville Elementary, Lake City
Middle, Elk Valley Elementary, and the Anderson County Learn Center planted 1000 oak, poplar, walnut, and
pine seedlings.
|So what do Coal Creek and Elk Valley students have in common? When Welsh miners lost their jobs in Coal Creek to the convict lease system in 1877, some of those miners and their families moved north along the railroad and settled in Elk Valley. After more jobs were lost to the convict lease system in 1891, miners challenged the state of Tennessee over the practice during the Coal Creek War. Miners from Elk Valley rallied to support the miners from Coal Creek in the fight to abolish the convict lease system in Tennessee. Miners who fought during the Coal Creek War wore bandanas to show they were part of the miners' army, which explains the origin of the bandanas worn by our tree-planting army on Cross Mountain today.
Last year, Coal Creek students
traveled to Elk Valley for a planting event at National Coal Corporation's
Zeb Mountain Surface Mine. Students from Elk Valley and Coal Creek reunited
this year for another mission, this time to restore the American chestnut to
Coal Creek as guests of the Coal Creek Company.
|Prior to the early 1900's, the American chestnut was king of the Appalachian forest, but a blight carried by Chinese chestnuts killed most of the American chestnuts during the early part of the 20th century. For the past 25 years, the American Chestnut Foundation (TACF) has been developing a hybrid, which is 94% American chestnut and 6% Chinese chestnut. The hybrid will retain the virtues of the American chestnut as a large forest tree with a sweet-tasting nut, but with the blight-resistance of its Chinese cousin.
The Appalachian coal fields are at the center of the historical range of the American chestnut. Furthermore, researchers have found that trees grow faster on mine sites reclaimed by leaving loose, rocky spoil exposed at ground surface than in a natural forest. This new reclamation technique is called the Forestry Reclamation Approach (FRA) and mine sites prepared by this method are ideal locations for introducing the blight-resistant hybrids to the natural range of the American chestnut.
For the past 30 years, the traditional method for reclaiming surface mines has been to cover the sites with compacted soil and plant grass and trees for quick growth to control erosion. That's how this surface mine on the slopes of Cross Mountain was reclaimed in the 1980s. To enhance tree growth at this site, topsoil and grass were recently removed and the underlying spoil was ripped. The loose, rocky ground may look rough, but it's ideal for growing trees. Rainfall infiltrates rapidly into the loose, rocky spoil where it irrigates tree roots and there is no competition from grass for moisture and nutrients. After these trees produce nuts, wildlife will spread them to surrounding areas.
A special "Thank You"
goes out to the folks at the Coal
Creek Company for providing a site to plant our trees. We also want to
thank the folks at the Office of Surface
Mining (OSM) for assisting us with the trip and providing crew leaders
for the planting teams.

Martin lauds Carmelo, slams Karl
LOS ANGELES -- From 2004 to 2011, Kenyon Martin played the role of enforcer behind Carmelo Anthony on the Denver Nuggets. They might not be teammates anymore, but the Martin is still coming to his longtime friend's defense.
With Anthony's return from a strained right groin injury nearing and so much scrutiny about whether or not he'll be able to mesh with point guard sensation Jeremy Lin, Martin -- who signed with the Clippers recently after playing in China -- said the concerns of fans and media are unfounded. Anthony, as Martin sees it, will do what it takes to make it work.
"First of all man, I wanted to call in to ESPN and say something when I saw them saying [Anthony would mess it up]," Martin told SI.com. "Melo wants to win. The man is a competitor, and he wants to win. He's as competitive as they come.
"Smart basketball player, and the best player on that team -- hands down. So I don't understand why people are questioning whether he's selfish or not. No, the man is not selfish. The man wants to win. He'll do whatever it takes to win. I don't think he'll mess nothing up. He's going to come in and be Carmelo Anthony."
Being Carmelo Anthony was considered a good thing during most of his time in Denver, where the third pick of the 2003 draft led the Nuggets to eight straight winning seasons and playoff appearances after eight straight losing seasons before his arrival. Martin arrived in July of 2004, when he agreed to a sign-and-trade that sent him from New Jersey to Denver in large part because of Anthony's presence.
And while they never won a championship together, there was no shortage of good times shared. They won 50-plus games the last four seasons, and reached the Western Conference finals in 2009 before falling to the Lakers in six games.
But after Martin left his Chinese Basketball Association team (Xinjiang) in late December and returned to the United States, he began to notice the anti-Anthony message coming out of Denver. Nuggets coach George Karl had routinely discussed his team's new style and how the absence of Anthony made his job easier. The Melo-drama, as it was dubbed, clearly bothered Karl before Anthony was traded to the Knicks last February. Martin, however, said Karl's comments went too far.
"Man, listen, George needs to keep his mouth shut, first and foremost," Martin said. "Melo don't play there no more. So Karl shouldn't be commenting on Melo. If George was such a great coach, then Melo would want to stay. He wouldn't want to leave.
"If the organization was ran right, he wouldn't want to leave, so it ain't Melo. With Melo, not one time when he was there did he bring that in the locker room when all that stuff was going on. Not one day. Everybody made it a bigger deal than it had to be. That's a good kid.
"They act like this kid was a cancer, like he came in there and destroyed the locker room and made everybody hate him. No, it wasn't nothing like that man. And it bothers me for people to be talking about how he's a selfish player and he has to defend himself."
The Nuggets, who got off to a 15-7 start but have lost seven of their last nine games, cut ties with a number of core players from their recent teams.
"They've got the team they wanted now," Martin said. "They got all us out of there. They didn't offer me an extension, they traded [Anthony], J.R. [Smith] is gone [to New York]. They've got the team they want. So why doesn't [Karl] worry about coaching them and leaving Melo alone -- bottom line? It bothers me for them to keep harping at that."
Martin, whose Clippers fell to 19-10 on Saturday with an overtime loss to San Antonio, will be rooting for the Knicks as some sort of strange revenge.
"I just hope [Anthony] comes in and they play well," he said. "Because if not, then it's going to be a whole other can of worms."

We are entering the third week of Big Break Ireland and I am happy to say that I have survived the first two! I love watching commercials for Big Break, the show itself and all the behind-the-scenes footage online.
I know the whole cast loves watching it too, and talking about it with each other. It is kind of funny because we obviously all know what happened, but we have no idea what you, the viewer, will see.
I watch the commercials and think, "Oh my goodness! What is going on?" Then I have to remember, "Oh, Nicole, you were there!"
It is always interesting to see how they use you in the commercials and the show. I watch and think, "Oh you would do that!" And I just laugh. There is no escaping it and my friends have told me "Ya, that is SO you! You do that!" And I just shrug and have to agree.
It is weird seeing yourself on television, watching yourself act out, I am not used to it at all. I love the over-the-top nature of the commercials! People come up to me and ask questions about it, ask what trouble I cause or the others are causing and I just look and smile. The series really is that intense, but I have to say the upcoming third episode features some shenanigans for sure, so buckle up and get ready.
I will say that people in golf settings have started to notice me. Weird, but they have. I had one woman at my last event tell me that she was stalking me, because she wanted a Big Break hat! Sadly for her, I didn't bring any of the hats with me, so I had to tell her sorry. I had a father and son take photos of me while I was hitting, so I said hello and chatted a bit before I went back to practicing. Some people just stare and I think it is creepy, but I guess that can happen. Maybe I just look weird! Oh well.
What makes me the happiest are the fans and friends that I have had before the show started, and I see how proud they are of me. That means the world to me, and I love sharing it with them. I would say the interesting ones are the people who didn't talk to me before and now try to be friendly. I am wary of them, exchange pleasantries, but continue on. Oh, and I love the fan emails! Those are the greatest and I really try to write back to everyone.
I have chatted over some of this with past Big Breakers and I think we all have the same reaction. David Byrnes' expression of "You want my autograph?" encompasses how most of us feel – we are blessed to be a part of the experience. It was a dream that we had to help us move to the next level in this great game, so fans and support along the way is a huge bonus.
I am not sure it has been a life-changer yet… more of an amazing experience along the way. I am still me. Someone asked me what I was going to be doing this fall and my response was easy, "Well, I just applied to work at Starbucks and am hoping for a job at Big Horn Country Club in the desert. Bills are still coming my way and I have to pay them somehow!"
I am hoping in some way the Big Break does rock my life, but we will just have to wait and see how the season plays out.
