eople who were notaround during WW2 haveno understanding of the
magnitude.Amazing WW2 Aircraft FactsThese are very moving statis-
tics.
On average 6600 Americanservice men died per MONTH,during WW2 (about 220 a day).
People who were not aroundduring WW2 have no under-standing of the magnitude. Thisgives some insight.
276,000 aircraft manufacturedin the US .
43,000 planes lost overseas,including 23,000 in combat.
14,000 lost in the continentalU.S.
The US lost 14,903 pilots, air-crew and support
personnel plus
13,873 airplanes ---inside the continen-tal United States .There were 52,651aircraft accidents(6,039 involving fa-talities) in 45months.
Average 1,170aircraft accidents
per month----
nearly 40 a day.It gets worse.....Almost 1,000 planes disap-
peared en route from the US toforeign climes. But 43,581 air-craft were lost overseas includ-
ing 22,948 on combat missions(18,418 in Europe ) and 20,633due to non-combat causes over-seas.
In a single 376 plane raid inAugust 1943, 60 B-17s wereshot down. That was a 16 per-cent loss rate and meant 600empty bunks in England . In1942-43, it was statistically im-
possible for bomber crews tocomplete the intended 25-mis-sion tour in Europe .
Pacific theatre losses were far less (4,530 in combat) owing tosmaller forces committed. The
B-29 mission against Tokyo onMay 25, 1945, cost 26 Super-fortresses, 5.6 percent of the 464dispatched from the Marianas .
On average, 6,600 Americanservicemen died per month dur-ing WWII, about 220 a day.Over 40,000 airmen were killedin combat and another 18,000wounded. Some 12,000 miss-ing men were declared dead, in-cluding those"liberated" by theSoviets but never returned.More than 41,000 were cap-tured. Half of the 5,400 held bythe Japanese died in captivity,
compared with one-tenth in
German hands. Total combatcasualties were 121,867.
The US forces peak strengthwas in 1944 with 2,372,000 per-sonnel, nearly twice the previ-ous year's figure.
Losses were huge---but so
were production totals. From1941 through 1945, Americanindustry delivered more than276,000 military aircraft. Thatwas not only for US Army,
Navy and Marine Corps, butalso for allies as diverse asBritain , Australia , China andRussia .
Our enemies took massivelosses. Through much of 1944,the Luftwaffe sustained hemor-rhaging of 25% of aircrews and40 planes a month.
Experience Level: Uncle Sam sent many men to
war with minimum training.Some fighter pilots enteredcombat in 1942 with less than 1hour in their assigned aircraft..
The 357th Fighter Group (TheYoxford Boys) went to England
in late 1943 having trained on P-39s, then flew Mustangs. Theynever saw a Mustang until thefirst combat mission. With thearrival of new aircraft, manyunits transitioned in combat. Theattitude was, "They all have astick and a throttle. Go fly `em."When the famed 4th Fighter Group converted from P-47s toP-51s in Feb 44, there was notime to stand down for an orderlytransition. The Group com-mander, Col. Donald Blakeslee,said, "You can learn to fly 51s onthe way to the target".
A future P-47 ace said, "I wassent to England to die." Many bomber crews were still learn-ing their trade. Of JimmyDoolittle's 15 pilots on the April1942 Tokyo raid, only five hadwon their wings before 1941.All but one of the 16 co-pilotswere less than a year out of flight school.
In WW2, safety took a back seat to combat. The AAF'sworst accident rate wasrecorded by the A-36 Invader version of the P-51: a staggering274 accidents per 100,000 fly-
ing hours. Next worst were the
P-39 at 245, the P-40 at 188, andthe P-38 at 139. All were Alli-son powered.
Bomber wrecks were fewer but more expensive. The B-17and B-24 averaged 30 and 35accidents per 100,000 flight
hours respectively-- a horrificfigure considering that from1980 to 2000 the Air Force'smajor mishap rate was less than2.
The B-29 was even worse at40 per 100,000 hours; theworld's most sophisticated, mostcapable and most expensive
bomber was too urgently neededto be able to stand down for mere safety reasons.
(Compare: when a $2.1 bil-lion B-2 crashed in 2008, the
Air Force declared atwo-month "safety
pause").The B-29 was no
better for mainte-nance. Although theR3350 was knownas a complicated,troublesome power-
plant, only half themechanics had pre-vious experience
with it.
Navigators: Perhaps the greatest success
story concerned Navigators.The Army graduated some50,000 during WW2.
Many had never flown out of sight of land before leaving"Uncle Sugar" for a war zone.Yet they found their wayacross oceans and continentswithout getting lost or runningout of fuel - a tribute to theAAF's training.
At its height in mid-1944,the USAAF had 2.6 million
people and nearly 80,000 air-craft of all types.
Today the US Air Force em- ploys 327,000 active person-nel (plus 170,000 civilians)with 5,500+ manned and per-
haps 200 unmanned aircraft.That's about 12% of the man- power and 7% of the airplanesof the WW2 peak.
Summation: Another war like that of 1939-
45 is doubtful, as fighters and bombers have given way to hel-icopters and remotely-con-trolled drones, eg. over Afghanistan and Iraq . Butwithin our living memory, menleft the earth in 1,000-plane for-mations and fought major bat-tles five miles high, leaving a
Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you, too. Don't laugh.... It is all true!
Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60...And heading towards 70 or beyond!
1. Kidnappers are not very inter-ested in you.2. In a hostage situation, you are
likely to be released first.3. No one expects you to run -- any-where.4. People call at 9 PM (or 9 AM)
and ask, 'Did I wake you?'5. People no longer view you as a
hypochondriac.6. There is nothing left to learn the
hard way.7. Things you buy now won't wear
out.8. You can eat supper at 4 PM.9. You can live without sex but not
your glasses. Well, sometimes…10. You get into heated argumentsabout pension plans.
11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.12. You quit trying to hold your stomachin no matter who walks into the room.13. You sing along with elevator music.14. Your eyes won't get much worse.15. Your investment in health insurance isfinally beginning to pay off.16. Your joints are more accurate meteo-rologists than national weather service.17. Your secrets safe with your friends be-
cause they can't remember them either.18. Your supply of brain cells is finallydown to a manageable size.19. You can't remember who sent you thislist. And you notice these are all in big print for your convenience.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING:
Never, NEVER, NEVER, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill, and a laxative on the samenight!

buckled, resulting in theevacuation of nearby resi-
dences and loss of power to localEdison customers for 6 hours re-cently while the derrick was dis-mantled, according to HB FireCaptain Bob Culhane.
Culhane said crews were doingroutine maintenance on the derrick near Walnut and 2nd Street. It was being used to pull the rods out of
the well, when the derrick started buckling on one side, resulting in
approximately a 45 degree bendabout halfway up the 60 foot steelstructure.
Two workers were on a platformabout eight feet below the buckledsection when the incident occurredaround 1:33pm, but fortunately, noone was injured in the incident,which drew major media attentionfrom TV, Radio and Newspapers.
The operation was immediatelystopped and fire crews evacuated10 apartments and 3 nearby homesto avoid the possibility of injury,should the top of the derrick fall tothe ground.
Curious crowds gathered asSouthern California Edison cut power to the electrical lines, whichwere adjacent to the property, re-sulting in a loss of power to about42 residential and commercial cus-
tomers. A crane was brought in tosecure the leaning section of thederrick and once se-cured, the crew began dismantlingit. After cuttingmultiple cables en-tangled in the rig,
gas sampling was conducted to en-sure that the well was not emitting
any flammable vapors. Once veri-fied, a cutting torch was used by awelder working off a separate lift tocut some of the stops from the topsection, allowing the crane operator to pull the top section out of theframework of the base section. Thetop half was then lowered to theground.
Residents of the nearby homeswere allowed back in around8:00pm. Edison was able to return power to customers soon afterward.The cause of the failure is being in-vestigated.

Gehrig went on tour in baseball crazy Japanin 1934, some fans wondered why a thirdstring catcher named Moe Berg was in-cluded.
The answer wassimple: Berg was aUS spy. Speak-ing 15 lan-guages—includingJapanese—MoeBerg had twoloves: baseball andspying.
In Tokyo,garbed in a ki-mono, Berg took flowers to thedaughter of an
American diplo-mat be interactedwith in St. Luke’sHospital the tallest building in theJapanese capital.
He never deliv-ered the flowers.
The ballplayer ascended to thehospital roof and filmed key features: theharbor, military installations, railway yards,etc. Eight years later, General JimmyDoolittle studied Berg’s films in planninghis spectacular raid on Tokyo.
Catcher Moe Berg:
Berg’s father, Bernard Berg, a pharmacist
in Newark, New Jersey, taught his sonHebrew and Yiddish.Moe, against hiswishes, began playing baseball on the streetaged four. His father disapproved and never once watched his son play. In Barringer High School, Moe learned Latin, Greek andFrench. He graduated magna cum laudefrom Princeton having added Spanish, Ital-ian, German and Sanskrit to his linguisticquiver, During further studies at the Sor- bonne, in Paris, and Columbia Law Schoolhe picked up Japanese, Chinese, Korean, In-dian, Arabic, Portuguese and Hungarian— 15 languages in all,plus some regionaldialects.
While playing baseball for Princeton Uni-versity, Moe Berg would describe plays inLatin or Sanskrit.
Tito’s partisans:
During World War II, he was parachutedinto Yugoslavia to assess the value to
the war effort of the two groups of partisansthere. He reported back that Marshall Tito’sforces were
widely supported by the people and Win-ston Churchill ordered all out support for the Yugoslav underground fighter, rather than Mihajlovic’s Serbians.
The parachute jump at age 41 undoubt-edly was a challenge. But there was more tocome in that same year. Berg penetratedGerman held Norway, met with members of the underground and located a secret heavywater plant part of the Nazis’ effort to buildatomic bomb.His information guided the
Royal Air Force in a bombing raid to de-stroy the plant.
Norwegian heavy water plant targeted byMoe Berg.
The R.A.F:
There still remained the question of howfar had the Nazis progressed in the race
to build the first Atomic bomb. If the Naziswere successful, they would win the war.Berg (under the code name
“Remus”) was sent to Switzerland to hear leading German physicist Werner Heisen- berg, a Nobel Laureate, lecture and deter-mine if the Nazis were close to building anA bomb.
Moe managed to slip past the SS guardsat the auditorium., posing as a Swiss grad-
uate student. The spy carried in his pocket
a pistol and a cyanide pill. If the German in-dicated the Nazis were close to building aweapon, Berg was to shoot him and then
swallow the cyanide pill. Moe, sitting in thefront row, determined that the Germanswere nowhere near their goal, so he compli-
mentedHeisenberg on
his speech andwalked him back to his hotel.
Werner Heisen-berg–he blockedthe Nazis:
Moe Berg’sr e p o r t
was distributed toBritain’s PrimeMinister, WinstonChurchill, Presi-
dent Franklin D.Roosevelt andkey figures in theteam developingthe AtomicBomb.
Roosevelt responded: “Give my regardsto the catcher.”
(Most of Germany’s leading physicistshad been Jewish and had fled the Nazismainly to Britain and the United States.)
After the war, Moe Berg was awarded theMedal of Merit—America’s highest honor for a civilian in wartime. But Berg refusedto accept, as he couldn’t tell people abouthis exploits. (After his death, his sister ac-cepted the Medal and it hangs in the Base-
ball Hall of Fame, in Cooperstown, N.Y..)President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
once described Moe Berg as a “most un-usual fellow.”
When the war ended, Moe Berg foundhimself unemployed. He did receive occa-sional intelligence assignments, including avisit to the Soviet Union, where his abilityto speak Russia was valuable. Travelingwith other agents, when asked for creden-tials, by a Soviet border guard in Russian-dominated Czechoslovakia, he showed thesoldier a letter from the Texaco Oil com- pany, with its big red star. The illiterate sol-dier was satisfied.
He lived with his brother Samuel for sev-enteen years and, when evicted, spent hislast final years with his sister, Ethel. A life-
long bachelor, he never owned a home or even rented an apartment. He never learnedhow to drive.
When someone criticized him for wastinghis talent, Berg responded:
“I’d rather be a ballplayer than a justiceon the U.S. Supreme Court.”
A cartoon about Moe Berg:
He would often drop in, unannounced, atfriends’ homes—expecting to be fed.
He always wore a black suit (he hadeight), a white shirt and a black tie.
His interest in baseball continuedthroughout his life. Moments before he died(aged 70), Berg asked his nurse:
“How are the Mets doing today?”His remains were cremated and his sister

Aretired Constitutional lawyer has read the entire
proposed health care bill. Read his conclusionsand pass this on as you wish. This is stunning!
Please take the time to read this and forward it out as
you see fit.THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HEALTH CARE BILLS
– Michael Connelly, Ret. Constitutional Attorney
Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of pro- posed House Bill 3200:
The Affordable Health CareChoices Act of 2009.
I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of ex- pertise, constitutional law. Iwas frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law thatwere being discussed might be unconstitutional. What Ifound was far worse thanwhat I had heard or expected.
To begin with, much of what has been said about thelaw and its implications is infact true, despite what the De-mocrats and the media are saying. The law does providefor rationing of health care, particularly where senior cit-izens and other classes of citizens are involved, freehealth care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services,and probably forced participation in abortions by mem- bers of the medical profession.
The Bill will also eventually force private insurancecompanies out of business, and put everyone into a gov-ernment run system. All decisions about personal health
care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats, andmost of them will not be health care professionals. Hos- pital admissions, payments to physicians, and alloca-tions of necessary medical devices will be strictlycontrolled by the government.
However, as scary as all of that is, it just scratches thesurface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislationreally has no intention of providing affordable healthcare choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for themost massive transfer of power to the Executive Branchof government that has ever occurred, or even been con-templated. If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will ef-fectively have been destroyed.
The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted
balance of power between the Executive, Legislative,and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government. TheCongress will be transferring to the Obama Adminis-tration authority in a number of different areas over thelives of the American people, and the businesses theyown.
The irony is that the Congress doesn't have any au-thority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with!I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution
and find anya u t h o r i t ygranted to themembers of
Congress to regulate health care.This legislation also provides for access, by the ap-
pointees of the Obama administration, in direct viola-tion of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to
the Constitution, of all of your personal healthcare in-formation, your personal financial information, and theinformation of your employer, physician, and hospital.All of this is a protecting against unreasonable searchesand seizures. You can also forget about the right to pri-vacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion re-gardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may
provide.If you decide not to have
healthcare insurance, or if you have private insurancethat is not deemed accept-able to the Health ChoicesAdministrator appointed byObama, there will be a taximposed on you. It is calleda tax instead of a fine be-cause of the intent to avoidapplication of the due process clause of the 5thAmendment. However , thatdoesn't work because since
there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriv-ing someone of property without the due process of law.
So, there are three of those pesky amendments thatthe far left hate so much, out the original ten in the Billof Rights, that are effectively nullified by this law. Itdoesn't stop there though.
The 9th Amendment that provides: The enumera-tion in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be
construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;
The 10th Amendment states: The powers not delegatedto the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibit ed by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively,or to the people. Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor thestates are going to have any rights or powers at all inmany areas that once were theirs to control.
I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea. This is not about health care;it is about seizing power and limiting rights. Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to "be bound by oath or affirmation to supportthe Constitution." If I was a member of Congress I would
not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it,without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affir-mation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the Amer-ican people would hold me accountable.
For those who might doubt the nature of this threat, Isuggest they consult the source, the US Constitution, andBill of Rights. There you can see exactly what we areabout to have taken from us.

Enrique "Kiki" Ca-marena grew up in adirt-floor house with
hopes and dreams of making a difference.
Camarena workedhis way throughcollege, served inthe Marines and be-came a police offi-
cer. When he decided
to join the U.S. DrugEnforcement Adminis-tration, Camarena was
sent to work under-cover in Mexico
investigating amajor drug
cartel be-lieved to
includeo f f i -c e r sin the
M e x i -c a n
army, po-
lice and government. On Feb. 7,1985, 37 year-old Camarena lefthis office to meet his wife for lunch. Five men appeared at theagent's side and shoved him in acar. One month later, Camarena's body was found in a shallowgrave.
After the murder, citizens inCamarena's hometown of Calex-ico, California donned red rib-
bons in his honor. The red ribbon became their symbol for preven-tion in order to reduce the de-mand of illegal drugs. CaliforniaCongressman Duncan Hunter and teacher David Dhillonlaunched "Camarena Clubs" inCalifornia high schools. In 1986,club members presented a proclamation to Nancy Reagan,First Lady of the United States,for initiating nationwide anti-drug programs. The followingyear, parent teacher organizationsin California, Illinois, and Vir-
ginia wore the red ribbons in late
October and November. In 1988,the first National Red RibbonWeek was organized by the Na-tional Family Partnership (NFP), proclaimed by the U.S. Congressand chaired by Nancy Reagan.
Today, Red Ribbon Week isnationally recognized and cele- brated, helping to preserve Spe-cial Agent Camarena's memoryand further the cause for which
he gave his life. The Red RibbonCampaign also became a symbolof support for the DEA's effortsto reduce demand for drugsthrough prevention and educa-tion programs. By wearing a redribbon during the last week inOctober, Americans demonstratetheir ardent opposition to drugs.They pay homage not only toSpecial Agent Camarena, but toall men and women who havemade the ultimate sacrifice insupport of our nation's struggleagainst drug trafficking and
abuse.

Bloomberg hascompiled a list of
estimated franchise values for MLB teams that is moreaccurate than anything previously published by Forbes.
Bloomberg News analysts spent nine months pouringover data prior to publishing their findings on October 23. The conclusion: The average MLB team is worth$1 billion, more than 35% higher than previous esti-
mates. Ten teams are worth more than $1 billion each.Those numbers pale in comparison to NFL team values,where all 32 teams are worth at least $1 billion. But thefact that so many MLB teams are worth as much as an
NFL team came as surprising news to many analysts. Not surprisingly, the Yankees topped the list at $3.3
billion. The Yankees are the sport’s most successful andmost recognizable franchise, play in the largest market,had the highest team revenue in 2012 at $570 million,the fourth highest attendance in 2013 at 3.3 million, the
highest average ticket price and own asignificant portion of their regionalsports network (RSN). The Dodgersrank second at $2.1 billion and arelargely responsible for the higher over-
all valuations in MLB.Last year when the Dodgers sold for $2.15 billion, Forbes had pegged their value at $1.4 billion. But the team was
purchased through bankruptcy court,essentially a free market where thehighest bid prevailed. Contrast thatwith the rigged sale of the MontrealExpos franchise in 2006. Theteam,which had relocated to Washing-ton D.C in 2005, wasowned by MLBatthe time and Commissioner Bud Seligwanted the Lerner Family to own thefranchise. MLB sold the team for $450million, turning down several higher
bids in the process. Bloomberg esti-mates the team is currently worth$850
million.
In addition to the Yankees and Dodgers, two other teams topped the $2 billion mark, the Red Sox at $2.06
billion and the Mets at $2.05 billion.In fairness to Forbes, Bloomberg included informa-
tion that the former did not, such as a team’s interest ina regional sports network (RSN) and each team’s inter-est in MLBAdvanced Media (MLBAM), the league’sinternet and mobile arm. The average value of a team’sstake in a RSN was approximately $360 million accord-ing to Bloombergand nine of the top ten teams own aninterest in their RSN. Bloomberg pegged the value of MLBAMat $3.3 billion, or $110 million per team.
How reliable are the Bloomberg figures? That de- pends. The sale of sports franchises are unique in that,unlike the sale of most businesses, market value isn’t
necessarily applicable. All transactions must be ap- proved by team owners. That means the highest bidder is sometimes left on the sidelines.What we do know,thanks to Bloomberg, is MLB franchises are worth con-siderably more today than was thought to be the case ayear ago.

3. Luke: Was hanged in Greece asa result of his tremendous Preachingto the lost.
4. John: Faced martyrdom whenhe was boiled in huge Basin of boil-ing oil during a wave of persecution
In Rome . However, he was miracu-lously delivered >From death. Johnwas then sentenced to the mines onthe prison Island of Patmos..
He wrote his prophetic Book of Revelation on Patmos . The apostleJohn was later freed and returned toserve As Bishop of Edessa in modernTurkey . He died as an old man, theonly apostle to die peacefully.
5. Peter: He was crucified upsidedown on an x-shaped cross. Accord-ing to church tradition it was becausehe told his tormentors that he felt un-worthy to die In the same way thatJesus Christ had died.
6. James: The leader of thechurch in Jerusalem, was thrownover a hundred feet down from thesoutheast pinnacle of the Templewhen he refused to deny his faith inChrist. When they discovered thathe survived the fall, his enemies beatJames to death with a fuller's club.
This was the same pinnacle whereSatan had taken Jesus during theTemptation.
7. James the Great: Son of Zebedee was a fisherman by tradewhen Jesus Called him to a lifetimeof ministry. As a strong leader of thechurch, James was ultimately be-headed at Jerusalem. The Roman of-ficer who guarded James watchedamazed as James defended his faithat his trial. Later, the officer Walked beside James to the place of execu-tion. Overcome by conviction, he de-
clared his new faith to the judge and
Knelt beside James to accept behead-
ing as a Christian.
8. Bartholomew: Also known as Nathaniel was a missionary to Asia.He witnessed for our Lord in presentday Turkey. Bartholomew was mar-tyred for his preaching in Armeniawhere he was flayed to death by awhip.
9. Andrew: Was crucified on anx-shaped cross in Patras, Greece.After being whipped severely byseven soldiers they tied his body tothe cross with cords to prolong his
agony. His followers reported that,when he was led toward the cross,Andrew saluted it in these words: 'Ihave long desired and expected thishappy hour. The cross has been con-secrated by the body of Christ hang-ing on it.' He continued to preach tohis tormentors For two days until heexpired.
10. Thomas: Was stabbed with a
spear in India during one of his mis-sionary trips to
establish the church in the Sub-continent.

12. Matthias: The apostle chosento replace the traitor Judas Iscariot,was stoned and then beheaded.
13. Paul: Was tortured and then beheaded by the evil Emperor Nero
at Rome in A.D. 67. Paul endured alengthy imprisonment, which al-lowed him to write his many epistlesto the churches he had formedthroughout the Roman Empire.These letters, which taught many of the foundational Doctrines of Chris-tianity, form a large portion of the New Testament.
Perhaps this is a reminder to us thatour sufferings here are indeed minor compared to the intense persecutionand cold cruelty faced by the apos-tles and disciples during their times
The recommended daily dose of Bvitamins is a likely link to a va-
riety of health benefits...perhaps evena reduced risk of stroke.
Jennifer J Brown, PhD, a staff writer at Everyday Health basicallysays...the "B's: have it; it being a link to a healthier lifestyle...
"Nutrition is tied to good health, aswell as to prevention and treatmentof many conditions — and amongthe vitamins, the B vitamins are animportant group to have in your dietevery day. Getting the recommendedamounts of B vitamins daily is a cen-tral part of preventive care. Benefitsof vitamin B include healthy metab-olism, and now research shows a link to a reduced risk of stroke. B vita-mins are especially abundant in green
vegetables, whole or fortified grains,dairy and meats. Read on to discover the daily doses of B vitamins youneed, natural sources to include inyour diet, and the health benefits youcan expect to reap.
Vitamin B Supplements Tied toLower Stroke Risk
In addition to their role in metabo-lism and in maintaining healthy skinand hair, B vitamins have been linkedto a lower incidence of stroke — acondition where a blood clot blocks blood flow to the brain, or a bloodvessel bursts in the brain. A review of randomized clinical trials that lasted6 months or longer, revealed that tak-ing B vitamin supplements loweredrisk of stroke by 7 percent for a groupof 54,913 participants. The study wasauthored by Xu Yuming and col-leagues from Zhengzhow, China and published September 18, 2013 in theclinical journal, Neurology. But be-fore you begin taking supplements, be sure and talk to your healthcare provider.
Vitamin B1 To Avoid BeriberiThe recommended daily intake of
vitamin B1, also called thiamine, is1.1 milligram (mg) for women over age 18, up to 1.4 mg for those whoare pregnant, and 1.5 mg when breast-feeding. For men aged 14 andolder, 1.2 mg per day are recom-
mended, according to the NationalInstitutes of Health. Vitamin B1helps break down carbohydrates intosugars. B1 is found in whole grain
cereals, yeast, beans and nuts as wellas meats. Too little vitamin B1 causes beriberi, a disease affecting the heart,digestive system, and the nervoussystem. Beriberi is found in patientswho are malnourished, and also inthose who drink alcohol heavily. Thiscompromises their nutrition and in-cludes symptoms of difficulty walk-ing, loss of sensation in the hands andfeet, paralysis of the lower legs, andmay lead to congestive heart failure.People who consume large amountsof alcohol should take a B vitaminsupplement to be sure they getenough B1.
Rich in Riboflavin, Vita-
min B2A diet rich in vitamin B2,
also known as riboflavin, isneeded to avoid riboflavindeficiency. Recommendeddaily allowances of B2 are1.3 milligrams (mg) a day for men, and 1.1 mg a day for women. Pregnant womenneed more, 1.4 mg, and for breastfeeding mothers, 1.6mg each day. You can get ri-
boflavin from natural sourcesof nuts, green vegetables,meat and dairy products. Ri- boflavin helps the body break
down and use carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the diet. This vitamin alsofunctions to keep the skin, lining of the gut, and blood cells healthy. Get-ting enough riboflavin may be pre-ventive for migraine headaches andcataracts according to the NationalInstitutes of Health. Riboflavin hasalso been used to increase energylevels, boost the immune system, andto treat acne, muscle cramps, andcarpal tunnel syndrome.
Vitamin B5, Pantothenic Acid
The amount of vitamin B5 (pan-tothenic acid) that people aged 14and up need is 5 milligrams (mg)each day, according to the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine. Vitamin B5 is found invegetables in the cabbage family like broccoli and kale, as well as in avo-cado. In addition, whole-grain cere-als, potatoes, dairy, and organ meatsare good sources. This vitamin isneeded for many of the biochemicalreactions that go on in our cells eachday, including breaking down carbo-hydrates and lipids for energy. Be-cause it is a water-soluble vitamin,vitamin B5 is needed in the dietevery day. Pantothenic acid is neces-sary for our bodies to produce hor-mones, and also needed for growth.
Vitamin B6 Health Benefits
The recommended daily amount
of vitamin B6, also called pyridox-ine, is 1.3 milligrams (mg) for adults up to the age of 50, accordingto the National Institutes of Health.
Pregnant or breastfeeding teens andwomen need even more vitamin B6daily, about 2 mg. You can find vi-tamin B6 in potatoes and in fruits(except citrus), as well as in poultry,fish, and organ meat. Gettingenough vitamin B6 is important be-cause it's involved in more than 100enzyme reactions in the body'scells. These include helping the body metabolize amino acids fromour food, and build new red bloodcells. The health benefits of vitaminB6 uncovered by clinical researchinclude reduction in heart diseaseand in the risk of stroke. Althoughdeficiency in this vitamin is rare inthe United States, deficiency canlead to anemia and rash, as well asdepression and confusion.
Avoid Anemia with Vitamin B12Adults need only 2.4 micrograms
(mcg) daily of vitamin B12(cyanocobalamin). Pregnant or breastfeeding teens and womenneed more, 2.6 to 2.8 mcg daily. Vi-tamin B12 is not naturally occurringin plant foods. For this reason veg-etarians and vegans might not get
enough in their diet andmay need to take a Bsupplement. Naturalsources rich in vitaminB12 are dairy products,fish, meat, and in par-ticular—beef liver andclams. B12 can also befound in fortified itemslike breakfast cerealsand in nutritional yeast.This vitamin is centralto building blood cellsand to maintaininghealthy nerve cells inthe body. Up to about15 percent of people inthe United States havevitamin B12 defi-
ciency, which can lead to anemia.Symptoms of B12 deficiency in-clude weakness, fatigue, constipa-tion, weight loss and loss of appetite. Deficiency is also damag-ing to the nerve system and cancause depression, confusion, anddementia.
Vitamin B9, Folic Acid for aHealthy Baby
Vitamin B9 is folic acid, alsocalled folate, is needed at 400 mi-crograms (mcg) daily in adults, but500 mcg for breastfeeding mothersand more, 600 mcg for pregnantteens and mothers—according tothe National Institutes of Health. Naturally occurring folate is foundin dark green leafy vegetables aswell as asparagus and Brusselssprouts. Oranges and orange juiceare high in folate, as are nuts, beans, peas and whole grains. Teens andwomen who are planning preg-nancy or are pregnant may have dif-ficulty in getting enough folate, butthis vitamin is important to a baby'shealth. Getting the folate you need prevents neural tube (brain andspine) birth defects in babies, and promotes healthy growth.
Be sure to talk with your healthcare providers about any dietary sup- plements you take, recommends TheOffice of Dietary Supplements of the National Institutes of Health. Keeprecords of any supplements like youwould of any medication, and bringthem with you to discuss at your reg-ular appointments."

What did Congress do in those 40 months?(The House - considerable. The Senate – almost
nothing, not even a budget nor allow any House Billto be considered.) Now look at these:EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990
allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the govern-ment to seize and control the communication media.EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows the govern-ment to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum,fuels and minerals.EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 al-lows the government to take over all food resourcesand farms.EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 allows thegovernment to mobilize civilians into work brigadesunder government supervision. EXECUTIVE
ORDER 11001 allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare functions. EXEC-UTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the registration of all persons. Postmaster General to operate a nationalregistration.EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 allows thegovernment to take over all airports and aircraft, in-cluding commercial aircraft. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority torelocate communities, build new housing with publicfunds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establishnew locations for populations. EXECUTIVEORDER 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways and public storage facil-ities.EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049 assigns emer-gency preparedness function to federal departments
and agencies, consolidating 21 operative ExecutiveOrders issued over a fifteen year period. EXECU-TIVE ORDER 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives author-ization to put all Executive Orders into effect in timesof increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 grantsauthority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute indus-trial support, to establish judicial and legislative liai-son, to control all aliens, to operate penal andcorrectional institutions, and to advise and assist thePresident. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921 allows theFederal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of
production and distribution, of energy sources,wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S.financial institution in any undefined national emer-gency. It also provides that when a state of emergencyis declared by the President, Congress cannot reviewthe action for six months.

Essential oils are more popular than ever for medicinal andtherapeutic purposes as well as in fragrances and flavoringsfor food and drinks.Typically produced byharvesting and distill-ing large amounts of various types of plantmatter, essential oilsare in many cases all-natural and can take the place of syntheticchemicals in manyconsumer applications.But some wonder
whether our fascina-tion with essential oilsis so good for the planet, now that their popularity has turnedthem into big business.
“It often takes hun-dreds of pounds of plant material to makeone pound of essentialoil,” reports aromather-apist and author MindyGreen of GreenScent-sations.com. She addsthat it takes 50-60 pounds of eucalyptus to produce one pound of eucalyptus oil,200-250 pounds of lavender for one pound of lavender oil,2,000 pounds of cypress for a pound of cypress oil and as
many as 10,000 pounds of rose blossoms for one pound of rose oil. Production of these source crops takes place all over
the world and is often organized by large multinational cor- porations with little regard for local economies or ecosystems.
“Growing the substantial quantities of plant materialneeded to produce essential oils results in a monoculture style
of farming, with large swaths of land dedicated to a singlespecies,” says Green. “These systems are most efficientlymanaged by intense mechanization, and irrigation is fre-quently used for optimal oil production of the plants.”
“As global citizens we have not learned how to equitablydistribute vital resources like food, and water resources are
trending toward acrisis of the future,”adds Green, “sothere are deep ethi-cal concerns aboutdevoting croplandsto essential oils des-tined for use in can-dles, bath oils, perfumes, or lavishmassage and spa purposes.” Green
also warns thatmany essential oilsare not producedfrom sustainablesources. “Somespecies are at risk, particularly thoseoccupying marginalhabitats such asdwindling tropicalforests,” she reports,adding that the poverty-stricken indeveloping coun-tries will harvest
and sell whatever they can, in order to put food on their owntables.
Cropwatch, a non-profit that keeps tabs on the natural aro-
matics industry, maintains a list of wild species threatened bythe fast-growing essential oil trade. Of particular concern are
essential oils derived from rosewood, sandalwood, amyris,thyme, cedarwood, jatamansi, gentian, wormwood and cin-namon, among others, as they may well be derived fromthreatened and illegally harvested wild plant stocks.
Also, some essential oils must be treated as hazardous if spilled and should be kept out of sewers and local waterways.Mountain Rose Herbs, a leading retailer of essential oils, re- ports that if its tea tree oil spills, it should be absorbed withinert material and sealed it in a container before disposal at ahazardous waste collection site. Such information is includedon the company’s Material Safety Data Sheet for every es-sential oil and includes information about flammability andchemical composition. Consumers would be well served tocheck the MSDS for any essential oils they might like— Mountain Rose will supply them to customers by request— to make sure they are using (and disposing of) them correctly.

Some wonder whether our fascination with essential oils is so goodfor the planet, given that it can take hundreds if not thousands of pounds of plant material to make just one pound of an oil.

The impact of the recent government shut-down will take years to fully comprehend.Sure, some aspects are immediately meas-
urable. Museums and National Parks can measurein the thousands of dollars the amount of revenue per day lost by not being open for business. Thenumber of federal employees who filed for unem-
ployment benefits during the shutdown is alsoeasy to calculate. In the big picture though theseare relatively small consequences whose impacts
are short-lived and easy to measure.The long-term effects are more abstract. The
most severe of which is the negative impact onhow the global investment community viewsAmerica and American bonds. As long as our na-tion operates without a balanced budget, we aredependent on foreign investment into our econ-omy. Currently the United States only produces60% of the revenue needed to fund our budget.The remaining 40% we need to borrow from for-eign investors, which we do by selling treasurynotes and bonds.
The global investment community has longlooked at US debt as one of the safest investmentsaround. As a result, we’ve benefited from some of the lowest interest rates on the planet. Just com- pare the yield on our 10 year treasury (2.59%) tothat of China (4.10%) or Russia (7.21%). Coun-tries who are considered higher risk find their
yields rising into double dig-its. Greece’s 10 year yield fi-nally dropped back below10% in September of thisyear after reaching a high of 18.19% in November of 2012. If the global commu-nity begins to view US debtas a higher risk, we would seean immediate spike in our bond yields.
That risk came one stepcloser to happening duringthe government shutdown.Rating agency Fitch statedthat it is currently reviewingUncle Sam’s credit rating for a possible downgrade. If
Fitch takes that step it wouldopen the door for the other two major rating agen-cies, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s (S&P), todo the same.
The US must maintain its top creditrating. As a consumer based economy,we are entirely dependent on relativelylow rates of interest for allwe purchase. A credit down-grade for Uncle Sam wouldmean higher rates on mort-gages, auto loans, and busi-ness loans. And that’s onlythe beginning.
A downgrade of the US’scredit rating would provide
further ammunition for countries pushing for the replacement of thedollar as the world’sreserve currency. Thefive major emerging national economies – Brazil,Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) – are already leading a global campaign against thedollar.
The question isn’t if – it’s when. At some pointthe dollar will lose its anchor status as the world’sreserve currency. When that happens, our econ-omy will collapse. Britain suffered this catastro- phe after the Pound Sterling was replaced by thedollar in 1944. Where every other country in Eu-rope benefited from strong post-war economic re-covery, Britain limped along earning thenickname, “sick man of Europe,” a stigma that persisted through the 1970s and early 80s.
When the dollar finally loses its anchor status,we will become the “sick man of the world.” Theonly way to delay this from happening is to main-tain our strong credit rating. Partisan gridlock inWashington, as evidenced by the recent shutdown,is rapidly becoming as much a threat to our creditrating as is deficit spending. If both persist, theAmerican way of life as we know it will cease toexist. The cost of that would be immeasurable.

Hours after Pearl Harbor on December 7,1941, the Secret Service found themselves
in a bind. President Franklin D. Roosevelt wasto give his Day of Infamy speech to Congresson Tuesday, and although the trip from theWhite House to Capitol Hill was short, agentswerent sure how to transport him safely. At thetime, Federal Law prohibited buying any carsthat cost more than $750, so they would haveto get clearance from Congress to do that, andnobody had time for that. One of the SecretService members, however, discovered that theUS Treasury had seized the bulletproof car thatmobster Al Capone owned when he was sent to jail in 1931. They cleaned it, made sure it wasrunning fine and had it ready for the Presidentthe day after.
Al Capone's 1928 Cadillac 341a TownSedan Became the President's Limo December 1941.
