According to the study Entrepreneurial Impact: The Role of MIT, which analyzes the economic effect of MIT alumni-founded companies and its entrepreneurial ecosystem, if the active companies founded by MIT graduates formed an independent nation, their revenues would make that nation at least the seventeenth-largest economy in the world. Within the U.S., these companies currently generate hundreds of billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of jobs to regional economies, particularly those in Massachusetts and California. Globally, a less conservative estimate of their annual world sales would equal $2 trillion, producing the equivalent of the eleventh-largest economy in the world.
"Entrepreneurial Impact" was conducted by Edward B. Roberts and Charles Eesley of the MIT Sloan School of Management, and is based on a 2003 survey of all living MIT alumni, with additional detailed analyses, including recent verification and updating to 2006 of revenue and employment figures.
The overall MIT entrepreneurial environment, consisting of multiple education, research and social network institutions, contributes to this outstanding and growing entrepreneurial output. Highlights of the findings include:
Another reason MIT is so important to the Massachusetts economy, the study reports, is that without MIT, most of these companies never would have been located in Massachusetts. Most of the MIT alumni companies in Massachusetts were founded by former students who came to the state to attend MIT, liked what they saw, and eventually started their companies there. Less than 10 percent of MIT undergraduates grew up in the state, but approximately 31 percent of all MIT alumni companies are located in Massachusetts
Not only do MIT alumni, drawn from all over the world, remain heavily in Massachusetts, but their entrepreneurial offshoots benefit the state and country significantly. More than 38 percent of the software, biotech and electronics companies founded by MIT graduates are located in Massachusetts, while less than 10 percent of arriving MIT freshmen are from the state. More than half of the companies started by MIT's foreign-student alumni are located in the U.S., creating their primary employment and economic impacts here.
About the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Launched in 1996, the MIT Entrepreneurship Center provides content, context, and contacts that enable entrepreneurs to design and launch successful new ventures based on innovative technologies. The center does this by giving MIT students, alumni, and colleagues access to an array of educational programs, networking opportunities, technologies, and resources, both at MIT and around the world.

Nonproliferation, Arms Control, and Disarmament
Richard N. Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, says if he still directed policy planning for the State Department, he would propose a three-part "diplomatic package" to halt Iran's nuclear development.
"First, it would let the Iranians know what was being required of them, for example, no enrichment or conceivably some very limited enrichment with all sorts of intrusive inspections," Haass says. "Secondly, the package would make clear what was being offered to the Iranians in the way of economic benefits, perhaps the removal of certain sanctions, and certain limited security guarantees. And thirdly, it would make clear what could or would happen to Iran if it were to fall short of what was being asked."
These consequences would include possible sanctions, "and conceivably military force, which wouldn't necessarily be used but would not be precluded." He warns, though, that military action against Iran would hold many pitfalls for the United States.
Iran and its nuclear program have been steadily in the news. CFR held a conference on this topic last week. And there seems to be a crescendo of reports suggesting U.S. policymakers are very seriously considering some kind of military action against Iran to head off its ability to process uranium for possible nuclear weapons. What do you think about these reports?
Well, two things. One is I'd be surprised if the military and the intelligence community were not looking at this question; they should be. They should get a sense of its feasibility and what it would entail. Secondly, what's interesting is that we have all these reports. It's possible that it's just a coincidence, but it's at least as possible that this has been authorized to some extent. These reports add some muscle, or some military backdrop, to the diplomacy, and this sends an obvious message to Tehran. But it also sends a message to the Europeans, the Chinese, and the Russians, that it is in their interest to see this resolved diplomatically.
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Mohamed ElBaradei, is going to Tehran to try to persuade the Iranians to again halt their nuclear enrichment processing. I thought it was interesting at the Council [on Foreign Relations] meeting last week that nobody really argued Iran was only interested in peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
That's true, I don't know anyone who thinks that. I don't know anyone who looks at Iran's energy situation, with all its oil and natural gas, who finds plausible Iran's professed claim that this is all about nuclear power for electricity generation.
If you were still in the State Department and you were asked to draw up a policy approach, what would you propose?
I would put together a diplomatic package that would essentially do three things: First, it would let the Iranians know what was being required of them, for example, no enrichment, or conceivably some very limited enrichment with all sorts of intrusive inspections. Secondly, the package would make clear what was being offered to the Iranians in the way of economic benefits, perhaps the removal of certain sanctions, and certain limited security guarantees. And thirdly, it would make clear what could or would happen to Iran if it were to fall short of what was being asked. This would include, for example, political sanctions, economic sanctions—including no international investment in their energy industry—and conceivably military force, which wouldn't necessarily be used but would not be precluded.
[Former National Security Council official] Flynt Leverett, in an interview recently, said Iran had offered to hold a series of talks back in 2003, shortly after the Iraq war started. I don't see that still on the table, in part because there's a new, more anti-American president in Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Would direct talk by the United States have any impact at this point?
It's hard to know, because you don't so much deal with one Iran as you deal with several Irans simultaneously. And I never thought we'd reach this day, but we may well have reached a point when the clerics are less radical than the elected politicians. It's conceivable that talks would be possible. The Iranians have expressed a willingness to have limited talks over Iraq, and it's quite possible they would be open to broader talks. A lot of this is based upon two things. One is an assessment of what Iranian politics can handle. And just as important, it's a reflection or an assessment of what Iran's priorities are. And if you, like me, believe that the priority for many Iranians is one of economic betterment and economic growth—they don't want to be sanctioned, they don't want to be economically isolated from the world—then there is the possibility through incentives and sanctions to possibly—I don't want to exaggerate the chances—move things in the direction we want.
But if their president is really still a Revolutionary Guard and wants to increase their influence beyond their borders, how do you deal with that one?
Well again, as we've seen historically, the elected president of Iran does not call the shots. We saw that in the previous era when former President Mohammad Khatami could not deliver on his so-called more moderate policies. So, although the current president of Iran is espousing all sorts of radical lines, in particular about Israel and about the Holocaust, it's not clear to me that he's in a position to deliver. What I would say from my own experience with Iran and Iranians is that there is a desire to be treated with a degree of what you might call public respect. And if the United States, and more broadly, the international community, were to make clear that the purpose of diplomacy is not to humiliate Iran and not to alienate the Iranian people, but to get the Iranians to give up or dramatically scale back their nuclear ambitions, it could work.
Now, Seymour Hersh in his New Yorker article writes that the ultimate goal of this administration is really to get regime change in Iran, not so much to end the nuclear program in itself. Does that sound right to you?
I believe that's correct, in the sense that for five years this has been the dominant school of thought in the administration, and as recently as the president's State of the Union address several months ago, regime change was emphasized. Even subsequent to that, when the secretary of state testified before Congress, she was talking about spending seventy-five or eighty million dollars to promote domestic change within Iran. What's ironic about what we're now hearing is that some of the policies being talked about work against regime change. The unwillingness to engage Iran directly, I believe, works against regime change. History elsewhere suggests that isolation reinforces hardliners. And secondly, if military force were ever to be used against Iran, I fear what you might describe as a rally-around-the-flag effect: that it would strengthen the hands of those people in Iran who see the world in radical or apocalyptic terms, and it could very well weaken the hands of those who are arguing for a more reformist path that would involve them more with the United States and the West.
What has led the Bush administration to have this strong desire for regime change?
Well, some of the impetus came from 9/11, when one of the analyses widely reached was that terrorists were more likely to emanate from societies where there isn't economic opportunity, where there isn't political opportunity, where there isn't a degree of openness. That said, some of the impetus stems from years before, and it represents a logical—although I would call it quite radical—approach to foreign policy, which essentially says you cannot establish acceptable relations with certain countries if their societies are based upon tenets that you find objectionable and obnoxious. In some ways, you can almost understand it as the radical version of the "democratic peace" theory, which suggests that democracies are more likely to be good international neighbors and citizens, so tyrannies are more likely to be bad neighbors and bad regional and international citizens. The problem with this school of thought is that it ignores a good deal of history which suggests you can have acceptable, even if not ideal, relations with regimes or societies with whom you're not similar. And second, it ignores the risks and the costs, as well as the difficulties, of carrying out a foreign policy that's based upon trying to bring about fundamental change.
Coming back once more to military force, it's said that Arab states led by Sunni Arabs have no great love lost for Iran. Will a military intervention by the United States worsen or improve U.S. standing in the Arab world?
What you said is true. There's no great love lost between many of the Sunni societies or countries and Iran. That said, I believe if there are images on al-Jazeera and elsewhere of American weaponry leading to a loss of Muslim life, I do think it would on balance hurt America's image or reputation in the Arab and particularly Muslim world. But beyond that, there are many other repercussions we need to think through. Iran would not simply accept or swallow an American use of force and not respond. We would have to expect Iranian retaliation in Iraq, in Afghanistan, possibly using terrorism. We would have to expect a price of oil that could well increase by between 50 [percent] and 100 percent. We could also expect that Iran would probably then look for ways to reconstitute its nuclear program. We've learned in Iraq that an initial use of military force will neither be decisive nor the end of things. It tends to be more a chapter rather than the entire work.

The other three children of Stacy and Thomas whodo not appearhere, probably as they died after Sallie Colbert and beforeMollie ScruggsColbert took over recording.

(I am omitting the rest of the description of theBible). Near the end of the Old Testament, appears to have been writtenaround 1860 or earlier: Nathaniel P. Thomas was born 24th day of August1798, Nathaniel P. Thomas departed this life May 18th, 1851. The followingwriting is inpencil, a more recent hand, which Mrs. George P. Hall statedthat she wrotepersonally: Joyce (Maggie) Thomas Hall was born Aug 23,1917 daughter ofGeorge Pat Hall and his wife Martha Thomas Hall. Writtenby her mother MarthaHall when she was 62 years old in 1951". This itemwas repeated twice moreat different places in this Bible but was not copiedherein. On the oppositepage is written with ink now turned brown: Theages of William Thomas andJoyce Thomas' children: Philip Thomas was bornAugust 16, 1757 NathanielThomas was born July 2, 1759 William Thomas wasborn February 16th, 1761Asa Thomas was born December 13th, 1762 PeytonThomas was born February17th 1765 Jacob Thomas was born February 3d, 1767John Watkins Thomas wasborn October 20th, 1768 George Thomas was bornMarch 15th, 1771 IchabodThomas was born June 13th, 1773 and departed thislife Novr. 26, 1777 WilliamThomas Sr. departed this life December 22nd 179-(1795 or 1799) the lastfigure is illegible), in the 75 year of hisage. William Thomas, Jr. departedthis April 30th, 1799 Nathaniel Thomasdeparted this life May 1 1799 GeorgeThomas departed this life Oct 19 1799John W. Thomas departed this lifeMay (day illegible) 180l Jacob Thomasdeparted this life May 7 1803 AsaThomas departed this life April 11 1813
The next record is in apparently a little later writing and possiblyby another person. Allen M. Thomas was born September 20th, 1826 JoyceThomas, wife of William Thomas, Senior, departed this life 3 of March,1829, age99 years, 8 months and twenty days. At the end of the Apocrypha,the following record appears: William Thomas, Junr. was born July 17 1796.Araminta Thomas, wife of W.P. T. was born May 17 1806
DEATHS; Wm P Thomas was killed at Drewes Bluff on the 10th of May, 1864. Brought home 20th of June & entered 22 of June 15 minutes after 2 ocin afternoon & was 27 years 11 months & 20 days old when he waskilled.
DEATH: Sarah E. Tanner, daughter of W.P. Thomas, his wife departed this life on the 10th of November 1866, died in Texas 39 years 6 months &16 days old. (Note by Mr. Sutherlin) Here is interwritten, in a paler handwhat appears to be "Pocohontas A. Thomas, and some other letters whichare illegible now. Also interwritten: "This the 24th of Sept. 1862" andunder this: "William N. P. Thomas"
Again some pencil writing appears: Here is a repetition of the notation by Mrs. Martha Hall regarding her daughter, Joyce (Maggie) Thomas Hall.The next items appear on the opposite page of the Bible. Joyce Thomas herBook. god give her Grace therein to look not only to she reads) Look Butto understand (What." I pray good reader be so kind, If I am lost and youme find, Thatyou restore me to my master and he'' respect you ever after.For you mayknow I am his own, For me he gave four crowns. The next itemis apparentlyin a different hand, ink and by person. Elsie M. Thomas wasBorn 7 day ofApril 1873 Joyce Thomas was born 1730 September the 5th andwrote thesein the year 1802, September the 20th and departed this lifethe 3rd of March1829 in the 99th year of age. Allen M. Thomas was bornSeptember 20, 1826Sarah E. Thomas was born in the year of our Lord 1828,April 24 Here againappears a different hand, different ink and possiblyanother person's writing.Joseph L. Thomas was born Apl 14 1830 MaryannP. Thomas was born Agst 29,1831 Araminta I. Thomas was born June 20th1833 Wm P. Thomas was born July21 1837 Martha An I. (?) Thomas was bornJune 1 1840 Creed Tanner Thomaswas born Agst 14 1842. (This 14 is veryplain but has been written or re-writtenover something else,--note byMr. Sutherlin) Pocohontas A. Thomas was bornJune 11 1846 (11th also written or rewritten over) Emily (Here are apparentlytwo letters but they areilligible). Thomas was born Sept. 11th, 1848. (Herea big "1" appears tohave been written between the 4 and the 8 in the 1848)The above is thenames and ages of Wm Thomas & Araminta his wife Thomaschildren. Onthe back of the center fly leaf or the leaf at the beginningof the NewTestament the following records appear. June 15th day 1806, W.Peyton Thomasleft his native place to go to Louisannia. (No doubt Louisana).Note byMr. Sutherlin. Allen Motley Thomas was married to Miss Mary T. (Hereishole in the page about 3/8 of an inch wife and long). Lumpkin, Decr.the20 day 1870 Elsa M. Thomas was born the 7 day of April five after eleveno'clockin the year 1873 Creed T. Thomas was married to Miss Mary E. Gravleythe18 day Dec 1872 Miss Mary T. Thomas, wife of A . M. Thomas was bornthe30 day of June 1835 Allen M. Thomas was born the 20 day of Sept. 1826Rote this in the 46 year of his age.
To be best of my knowledge and belief the foregoing record is a trueand accurate copy of the Bible mentioned therein. Elijah T. Sutherlin,Danville, VA Aug 29 1963

This document was handwritten sometime between 1941 and 1945 by HenryA. Williams, great-great grandson of John H. Blair. All four of his grandparents (as well as a number of great-uncles and aunts) had made the trip fromnear Danville and Chatham, VA, to Grayson County, TX in 1859, and mostwere still living during Henry A. Williams' adulthood.
(The handwritten document was transcribed on typewriter (accurately)by Mrs. G.C. Neaves of Norman, OK, in 1963, and I scanned the typewrittendocument into a .doc file in 1996. I proofed the computer file againstthe original handwritten document. I retained original spellings and sentencestructure, but in some minor cases substituted the typewritten punctuationfor thehandwritten punctuation.)
The families involved are BLAIR, WILLIAMS, KEEN and TURNER .Many of the Blairs later settled in Fannin County and elsewhere in Texas. Some of the Williams stayed in Grayson County, some moved to Tishomingo,OK, and some moved to Coleman County, TX. The Turner family stayed, inthe main, in Grayson and neighboring Fannin Counties.

Rusty Williams -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We date back to 1250, or near that time, and are descended from William De Blair, Baron of Scotland, and it is thought that the Duke of Atholenow lives in the Blair Castle in Perthshire, Scotland. Of course, therearemany branches from this main trunk and many "Coats of Arms."In theearly days of Cromwell's reign, many Scotch families moved [to] thenorthpart of Ireland and established Scotch Colonies--always retained religionsandpolitical views, and, so to speak, stuck together--did not and intermarrywiththe Irish--and from there and Scotland our ancestors have migratedhereat different times. Our direct line came over in 1765 or near thattime.
Our immigrant ancestor, William Blair, married Sarah Suter, daughterof George Suter of York, Yorke County, Pennsylvania. William Blair wasverypatriotic and saw much service in the Revolution. He came to the UnitedStateswith two brothers, one of whom, James Blair, settled in Charlotte,NorthCarolina, Nothing is known, so far, of the other one,
John Francis Blair was a large land and slave owner in PittsylvaniaCounty, Virginia. He lived on a large tobacco farm, raised nothing buttobacco and cured and manufactured it on the place, with the aid of hisnumerous slaves. His old home, and a lot of the negro cabins with theirold pot-racks still in place, are still standing.
In 1859, as a number of his friends had come to Texas and landed inGrayson County and with the Civil War at hand, John F. Blair and familydecidedto come also--expecting to buy large plantations and "grow up withthe country." So on November 15, 1859, the journey was begun in wagons.Uncle George said, "We left Virginia in wagons, and they were covered allright, but were drawn by mules and horses instead of oxen, and to thatextent our coming may have been irregular. We came over a good road asfar as Knoxville, Tennessee,where we boarded a steamboat for Gaines' Landing,Arkansas. Disembarkingat Gaines' Landing , we again took the road, orrather resumed our wagons,for there were no roads, and headed for Texas.We arrived in Grayson County,January 15, 1860. We were seventy days makingthe journey--one of our airplaneboys could cover the distance in the courseof an afternoon. From Gaines'Landing we drove across Arkansas and crossedRed River at Texarkana." WithJohn F. came his 8 sons and 2 daughters--therewere 33 or 34 in the familythen, including sons-in-law, daughters-in-lawand children, among them 4babies, Tom, son of Keen and Lucy Blair, Peter,son of Charles and Pat Blair,Nanny , daughter of Peter and Emaline Turner,and Will Henry , son of ElizaAnn and W. D. (Billy) Williams. There werealso ten Negroes, 8 of John F.Blair's and 2 of Peter Turner's, son-in-lawof JohnF. Blair.
The party camped near Bonham , December 31, 1859, when a big northerand snow-storm struck them. John F., who had a carriage and driver, droveonto Rev. S. J. Spotts' home near Bells, Grayson County, The rest of thebunchdrove on in the wagons to Old Warren where they spent the night inCol.Bradford's home. Peter Turner and family went to the home of the Pritchetts,whomthey had known in Virginia.
Two other Virginia families came with the Blairs--those of Ben Williams (brother of Billy) , and Capt. Brooks--there were 17 in these twofamilies. All told, there were about 60 people in the Blair caravan. Therewere 43of the Blair family in their caravan of five wagons--Charles Blairhad 1horse; Billy Williams had 1 horse; Peter Turner had 2 mulesand 1horse; and John F. Blair had 4 mules and 2 horses.
John F. Blair traded a Negro girl, 16 or 17 years old, for a sectionof land, and bought a section that adjoined it. This made 1280 acres ,whichhe intended making into a plantation with quarters for his slaves.He diedbefore he completed his home having been there less than a year--hediedof Typhoid and is buried on this farm. His son, John Henry, died thesameday of the same malady and they were buried at the same time. At thistimeKeen Blair was hovering near death's door of Typhoid, and when friendswentfor burial out-fits for the other two, they brought clothes for himtoo,thinking that he would be gone when they returned; but Keen recovered.
One Negro boy about 15 or 16 years old was sold at a sale--all the other slaves were freed, except one woman, Suse, who died and was buried at one corner of the Blair burial plot. John F. Blair's Negroes were named Peteand his wife Lucy, Cornelius, Suse, Letcha, Henry, Lunn, and Jim. Petewho was John F.'s carriage driver, was a free Negro and a cripple; hiswife Lucywas a slave and the cook in the Blair family. Pete and Lucy werethe oldestof the bunch.
Christian (Kittie) Blair died in August, 1861 of congestion. W.D.
Williams died in 1861 and his baby died soon after in 1861. Eliza Ann
broken in mind and body, following so much grief and shock, died in
They are all buried in the family plot on the Blair farm. Charles,
, Tom, and Wesley Blair served in the Civil War. Tom was killed in

I have copied these records as they were given to me. I do not have the
date the Bible was published plus it is interesting that informationwas
added to the Bible after Joab Sikes had died. Also interesting is that
Joab spelled his last name with and "i" Sikes, and laterin the Bible
notations he spelled his children's names with a "y" Sykes.
I hope this information will help others in searching this
Sykes (Sikes) family. I know I am interested in more information and being
in Texas I haven't had the chance to visit Danville and do someresearch.

0 Horsepower For $0! - Jeep Wrangler YJ No-Buck Tuning
But Maybe A Little Better Driveability
Not working at the moment? Or maybe you are, but those bills are piling up. Or possibly you're the type who just hates to spend money on new parts when you've got stuff laying around that may get the job done. After all, why throw away good money on a better Jeep when a dark corner of your garage or shed may hold stuff almost as good as new, fancy aftermarket parts?
When the exhaust fumes got so thick driving with the rear window rolled up that it started to make our eyes water, we tore a page out of the Cheapskate Almanac and did a little no-buck tuning on our '89 YJ using only parts we had laying around. Sure, you can substitute fancy aftermarket parts, but sometimes you just can't afford (or find) hop-up parts for your hooptie ride. Here's how we added air and spark for no pennies on the dollar.
1. The formula for a healthy engine is the proper proportion of air, fuel, and spark. Our Wrangler's '89 2.5L appeared to be lacking some air and spark as indicated by the thick, toxic exhaust that routinely made its way into the cabin. To get more air into the engine, we ditched the restrictive factory air box and paper filter element. Nobody makes a complete cold-air intake for a TBI four-cylinder, so we simply cut a piece of 2.5-inch exhaust tubing from our local autoparts store and clamped an ancient K&N open air filter that came on our '68 J2000's 232 inline-six.
2. The homemade filter setup helped the Jeep pull grades slightly better in Fifth gear and the exhaust didn't make our eyes water as badly, indicating that the increased airflow had helped lean the mixture. We were still spewing a lot of unburned hydrocarbons out the tailpipe, so we turned our attention to the ignition, starting with the plugs. We had a set of Autolite 985s on the shelf from a 4.0L build, so we tossed 'em in. The 985s are a heat range D11, which is pretty hot; ideally, we would've chosen an even hotter 3926 or 3927 plug with the same 0.750-inch reach and 14mm thread. But that would have been more expensive, so the 985s got the nod.
3. With a little more air and working plugs gapped at 0.035-inch, we then addressed the plug wires since we already had a fresh cap and rotor. After busting out the multi-meter, we tested the resistance in Ohms of each wire. Most stock resistance-type wires will run in the neighborhood of 10,000-15,000 ohms/foot resistance. Any more than that and the wire is bad. To get the correct value, measure your plug wires and do the math.
4. We found a bad plug wire on the number two plug and a bad coil-to-distributor wire. Digging through a box in the shed we found one stock replacement-type resistor wire and a Performance Distributor's coil wire, which we installed. Then, we turned our attention to the factory TBI coil/ignition module assembly. Remove the two retaining bolts; the coil can then be pulled free of the ignition control module on the firewall.
5. The positive and negative posts on the factory coil simply clip into these female connectors on the ignition control module. Naturally, our connections were grimy and corroded, so we hit 'em with a wire brush, cleaned them with carb cleaner, and put some dielectric grease on them. Although it's a pain to find the right bullet terminals, you can install an aftermarket coil mounted remotely if you build a couple of jumper wires. Since we wouldn't trust the bullet connectors, we thought about using some spade-type connectors crimped onto the brass ICM terminals. Be careful not to break off the fragile brass connectors, or you'll spend real money on a new ignition module.
6. Before we tried the aftermarket coil route, we cleaned up the male connectors of our stock coil and applied some dielectric grease to see if our coil was indeed weak. We reinstalled it and the engine started more easily and revved a little smoother. Now the toxic cloud out the back isn't so bad and our clothes no longer smell of exhaust after driving down the street.
7. For now we're sorta happy, but we did find this MSD Blaster coil in the shed we ran on an old Dodge Ramcharger project vehicle. Our cheap hop-up has made the exhaust less noxious, so for now we'll stave off adding the coil and opening the plug gap out to 0.045-inches or more. Besides, if we get the 2.5L running too well, we'll keep putting off those plans for that LS3 swap.

Happy 2012!
Some familiar and unfamiliar New Year's traditions, as well as the best music writing of the last year.
Tonight, a lot people will stay up late to celebrate the New Year in all sorts of ways, including by watching the ball drop in Times Square. But New Year's celebrations weren't always as we know them today.
