It would appear as though investors haven't fallen off the back of a turnip truck after all.

The big loser of the day? Ready? The MOST unpredictable stock in the market place engages in 'trade wind' consumer consumption. It is NOT a 'safe' investment. It is pure unadulterated speculation and the very LAST stock a 'Bear' would find interesting.

I am very, very hopeful in realizing the choices made today. It would seem as though investors are playing it close to the vest and I am more than proud of them. They could not have made better choices.

The choices made today by investors show an incredible insight to protections of reentering a very difficult market to predict. I believe their instincts could not be better and I would even reassure them that they should have increased confidence in their investing. Why? Because there are no surprises with this President of the USA. He is a 'rock' and knows where this country has to go. His agendas across every discipline of his cabinet are clear and are consistent with the desires for change of the American people. This market is more predictable than any 'Bear' can imagine.

What is even more encouraging is the courage global investors have shown today. Every market has an upward trend today, except for the Nikkei and it was a minor loss today compared to recent volatility. Gold is down because 'caution' is being stripped away from other markets and the commodities will experience change. This is a very hopeful view of one day of concentrated restructuring in the fiscal markets.

I would encourage any investor to continue to be cautious and enjoy the 'idea' of participating in a revitalization of the USA. The gains will be notable. The global markets will regain their footing and even the Nikkei will enjoy increases in volume and profit not experienced in other markets.

The global community is in this together and through careful analysis each market will find its 'best' and 'worst' and hone its interests in a Brave New World.

Thank you for today. We are hopeful tomorrow will be just as rewarding and insightful.

This was the big winner of the day. Get this. Real estate. You want to know why? Can you guess? I can guess. One cannot conduct business without real estate. Not the kind of business that Wall Street conducts.

So.

Why not get in on a real estate investment company that has a proven track record of knowing where to purchase 'commercial' real estate that is useful? Right? Very interesting.

The weather in Antarctica (Crystal Wind Chime) is warmer than usual. It is the best 'temperature' image in a while.

Polar Plants - Issue 12, March 2009 (click title to entry - thank you)
Did you know that Antarctica is home to two species of plants? At the opposite end of the earth, over a thousand plant species grow on the Arctic tundra. And that's not counting the many species of algae and lichens that are not classified as plants. In this issue, we highlight high quality resources for teaching plant classification, life cycles, and adaptations. Enrich your practice with our professional resources and discover science lessons and informational text to engage your students.

Antarctica Surface Wind Image (click here for animation for March 9 & 10)

There is obvious movement of air from the colder and higher elevations to the lower elevations. There are also 'on shore' winds that bring hotter temperatures.

The reason there is so much heat and loss of frigid air is obvious, especially when reviewing the film loop. There are heat transfers resolving their traverse from the Equator over the Blue Ice in Antarctica. While the Peninsula is a completely different issue, the Blue Ice is directly hit by the heat from the Equator.


March 10, 2009

In only five days the frigid air mass has shifted again and there is far less cold air over the 'entire' of Antarctica as noted however there is a migration of cold air off the higher elevations to the Peninsula where it will warm.

The Peninsula does receive heat transfers as noted in the falling pressure and increased cloudiness, however, there is also movement of air from the high elevation Blue Ice to the Peninsula due to the arrival of the less dense heat transfer. The denser cold air 'falls off' the higher elevation as it is pushed out from air masses arriving at higher elevations in the troposphere but increasing in density as it cools while subliming the Blue Ice. In other words, there are far too many air molecules at higher elevations to maintain 'stagnant' air masses of cold air.

Coldest reporting stations in Antarctica are below. There is a marked difference between the two stations besides elevation. Elevation is important to realize the coldness and sun exposure, however, these two stations have different 'weather conditions.' Clean Air has clouds and percipitation while Vostok does not. Clouds insulate Earth with heat as it reflects 'infrared' back to the planet. The warmest areas today are both reporting scattered clouds. I have included the information regarding Base Orcadas, Antarctica to include the issue of humidity. The pressure readings are falling at this reporting station as there is higher humidity and overcast conditions with higher temperatures. Noted also, the overcast conditions extend vertically in the troposphere to 689 feet.

Playing Politics with Hope and Reconstruction

In weak claims to 'State's Rights' some Red States are rejecting the Simulus Package and hope in curing human disease. It is done in the name of politics and not human rights.


The states refusing to provide hope to their citizens in reconstruction and opportunities in employment in both areas of work and research are inhibiting the best outcome for their citizens.


The Justice Department needs to challenge these states on the basis of reducing the unemployment load to their rolls and causing larger deficits and on the basis of human rights and established 'safe and documentable' research in Stem Cell Research.



Brant Sanderlin/bsanderlin@ajc.com
Lobbyist Rusty Kidd speaks during a meeting of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee Monday March 9, 2009. Kidd, who, is bound to a wheelchair from a spinal cord injury spoke against the bill that could restrict stem cell research in Georgia.



There are human rights violations in this legislature at every turn. It even demonizes and makes criminal the owners of the stem cells. In doing so, they take away 'rights' of the participants in the donation at a fertility clinic and potentially implies that frozen embryos have more rights to exist than their donors.



"...The bill would also prevent a couple who decided they no longer wanted to try to become pregnant from being able to dispose of their frozen embryos kept at a fertility clinic...."



"States Rights" do not include setting up unclaves of ideology that will ultimately cause the nation harm in high unemployment rates, increase in poverty and sustained oppression of citizens that desire improvments in their wellness. These are human rights violations and need to dealt with in an even approach.

For decades it was easy to know when one crossed the Mason-Dixon Line as there has been enforced poverty that benefits the 'greed quotient.' Such impoverishment has been enforced through darconian labor laws such as "The Will to Work" laws allowing employers to refuse to hire anyone based on issues as minor as eye or hair color.


Enough of this mania to control of the electorate of the Red States. There needs to be clear and concise removal of all oppression of these states and replaced with directives to expand their horizons in 'opportunity' other than building nuclear fuel rod facilities, concrete plants and cutting down every tree standing.

The Red States have been oppressed for generations with 'designer' legislation to enforce that oppression and refusing to allow complete and open rights to its citizens. Oppression leads to devote belief in God in a contorted way, in that daily living requires 'great faith' to allow for decades of oppression. The oppression of the faithful is a way of life in Red States rather than the celebration of life in abundance. Enough already. It is time to liberate the Red States and in a manner that will not allow recidivism.
