The following are selections from an article from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer entitled: STARTLING STUDY ON TOXINS' HARM WSU FINDINGS SHOW THAT DISORDERS CAN BE PASSED ON WITHOUT GENETIC MUTATIONS

I'm trying to get a handle on this but anyway you look at it this is stunning and exciting news. If this is supported by further experimental evidence implications start with a revolution in evolutionary biology and go on from there.

OK, it's NOW TIME to release:

THE DIRTY LITTLE SECRET OF THE STOCK MARKET

Let's say I'm a crook and you're stupid. You invest in my mutal fund and I promise to invest it such that you make money. Every 3 months I have to report to the SEC what I have done with your money. For you to keep investing in my fund I have to show you that you made money.

Unfortunately for me I invested in XYZ and XYZ hasn't done diddly-squat.

The Social Security fight is gearing up. In order to engage in the discussion we need to know some basics.

This is a brief (I attempted to stifle myself) introduction of Present and Future Value calculations and how they impact the Social Security debate.

General Introduction

You can either get a dollar today or a dollar in the future. A dollar you get today is worth, well, a dollar (No Shit Sherlock, right?) Figuring out what a dollar received in the future is worth - today - is a somewhat more complicated and is what this post is all about. Present and Future Value are fundamental tools of Financial Management. They are utterly uncontroversial. Understanding and using them made Warren Buffet gazillions of dollars (Appeal to Greed.)

The New York Times is reporting "As military officials here prepare to start letting the first residents return to Falluja, possibly as soon as mid-December, they face an unusual challenge: how to win back the confidence of the people whose city they have just destroyed."

Those testy Iraqi's. Merely because their homes have been destroyed they don't feel any confidence in the United States of America.

The advantage we have gained in this election is the organization and mobilization possibilities for 2006.

This is something we haven't had in many, many years.

The many groups (too many to list) that formed in 2004 not only provide the stucture but also the training to get out the vote. We now know who in the different precincts to target, we know how to target these voters, we know what motivates them, we know how to get them to the poll.

The Albuquerque Journal is reporting:

"After bounding onto the stage to the sound of Bruce Springsteen's "No Surrender," [Senator Kerry] received a special blessing from Chester Nez, a Navajo Code Talker.

Nez has vaulted into the national spotlight since giving the Boston Red Sox baseball team a Navajo blessing, first in April and then again before their pressure-packed American League Championship rematch with the New York Yankees. The team has since dispatched the Yankees and may be on the way to a world championship."

"I want the Red Sox to win the World Series," said Kerry, a Bostonian himself, after getting confirmation from someone in the crowd that the Sox were winning Game 3 of the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. "But the grand slam will be when we win the presidency. We're going to break two curses this year."
