Jim Henson NHS 68: Impressive achievements!

Dr. James Henson (NHS 1968) named DoD EPSCoR project director

Las Vegas, Nevada // April 21, 2008 -- Dr. James M. Henson was recently selected by the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) Research Affairs Council to act as the Project Director for the Department of Defense Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (DEPSCoR). He will also serve as a member of the NSHE Project Director Council. DEPSCoR is a federally funded program intended to increase research competitiveness in states that historically have not received significant research and development funding from DoD agencies. Nevada is one of 25 states and 2 territories authorized to participate in the program. Federal funding for the program in FY2008 amounted to $15.7 million.

Dr. Henson is the Associate Chair of the Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. Since joining the faculty in 1991 he has served as principal investigator on numerous DoD supported grants and contracts – largely in the area of high resolution military imaging radar simulation and analysis. He has also worked with the Department of the Treasury and the Nevada Gaming Industry in areas related to the deterrence of counterfeit paper currencies. In 2002 he testified, on behalf of the Coalition of DEPSCoR States, before the US Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. Dr. Henson currently has five patents pending in the areas of the fabrication of covert media and 3D imaging radar systems.

As director of the DEPSCoR program, it will be Dr. Henson’s goal “to maximize the number of DEPSCoR research awards for researchers in Nevada and to seek continued congressional support for the DEPSCoR program at large.” According to Dr. Henson, “Not only does the DEPSCoR program help to fund and stimulate research in Nevada, it also provides DoD research laboratories with the seed money needed to stimulate innovative research in small to medium sized universities in the DEPSCoR states.”

Nevada DEPSCoR programs have successfully been awarded over $4 million. The research has been matched with over $2 million from the state and has been critical to increasing involvement in research projects that bring cutting-edge science to the real-world solution of critical issues for DoD. Nevada is the home of many DoD facilities, including Nellis Air Force Base, Fallon Naval Air Station which includes The Naval Surface Warfare Center and the TopGun program, and the Hawthorne Army Ammunition Depot.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, summer of 1971....a summer of traveling, rapping with fellow freaks, and lots and lots of love........it seemed as though everyone was hitching and traveling that summer....Photo is of my ex-wife Susan Gray Dahill Cavender, an incredible individual and accomplished artist... Her present location is a mystery to me (last seen in San Francisco)

Silver Lining: humor in 1939 America sample

Quoted from Readers Digest, January 1939

"How in the world do you make a go of things at all?" a traveling salesman inquired of a shopkeeper.
"You see that fellow there?" replied the merchant, pointing to the clerk at the end of the counter. "Well, he works for me and I can't pay him; so in two years he gits the store. Then I work for him till I git it back."

Some of my favorite reading is a large collection of Reader's Digests 1933-1945. Our country was in an economic depression exacerbated by the socialist regime of F.D. Roosevelt, and it took WWII to get the economy booming. The Digest provided an energetic forum for coherent debate. No sound bites or appeals to racism were tolerated.

The idea of the Reader's Digest in those days was to present the very best contemporary articles from a multitude of media; the reader's intelligence was respected and assumed. Humor was provided to complement the thoughtful essays. Included in each issue was a listing of what books noteworthy people were reading that month. The authors' biographies were given at the end of each issue.

I miss this format, as the new Reader's Digest is more of a breezy tips for living rather than an exploration of ideas. It has been reduced to a socialist tool for persuading Americans to abandon our Constitutional principles. My prediction is the R.D. will likely fail; its only hope is to return to the former format (30s and 40s) and to ditch the socialist bullcrap.

Cranberries 'Dreams'

My thoughts....United States...fail


An outstanding irony....young people supporting a 'leader' and administration that are working overtime to ACTIVELY RUIN those very same people's future.

Barry Soetoro (you do know that is his actual name), adopted by an Indonesian, Lolo Soetoro, a radical Muslim (and therefore Barry is NOT eligible to become president) is a puppet for forces that wish to crater the United States and superimpose a globalist agenda. (ie multi-billionaire George Soros, convicted felon and Nazi collaborator) Each day I observe the U.S. dollar become weaker and weaker. Our money's value is disappearing, and there is a gigantic sell-off of the U.S. dollar. This is one major reason why the stock market (and precious metals) is up....more dollars are required to pay for the same stock, gold, and silver.

Younger Americans often swoon over the Obama Cult of Personality, despite this arrogant puppet driving the United States into hyperinflation, communism, and hopeless indebtedness. The younger generation will pay the bills. Their careers will become exercises in futility.

It takes a lot of energy and desire to appreciate and understand our wonderful Founding Fathers (suggest the "Real George Washington", and the U.S. Constitution) to penetrate the farce that is the current centralized Federal Government....now simply a ponzi-scheme that has been co-opted by globalists. These creeps have no concern for America...no appreciation for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for the individual citizen.

Barry Soetoro never even ran a lemonade stand, has never had a job in the private sector, and did NOTHING as junior senator (chicago politics) did nothing...nada...no bills....voted "present" many times instead of committing to a position.

He has never been vetted and is the epitome of political puppet. Remove his teleprompter and Barry is exposed as a mental pygmy. ("campaigned in 57 states and 1 more to go")

Obama's fake certificate, exposed in video, is just a straw man for your attention; watch for hyperinflation and U.S. collapse instead



Addendum 4/30/11
"From intelligence agencies around the world, the verdict on President Obama's newly-released certificate of live birth from Hawaii is in: the certificate is a rank forgery on the same level as the Niger "yellow cake" uranium and Iraq Oil Ministry forged documents. Intelligence and law enforcement services are experts on fake documents since they have to deal with large numbers of counterfeit documents, such as birth certificates, passports, identity cards and driver's licenses, as well as currency. Intelligence agencies are also experts at forging their own documents for their clandestine agents.

Within 24-hours of the release of the long form Certificate of Live Birth on April 27, intelligence agencies from Britain and China to Germany and Russia examined the document and concluded it was a forgery based on the fact that Barack H. Obama Sr.'s race, listed as "African," was a monumental error, considering that not only the United States, but other English-speaking nations described Africans and those of African descent as either "Negroes" or "blacks" in 1961."

This is the best Rock song/performance of all time....



Thank you Jimi!

Here's my better half!




She really purrs on the Appalachian highways....watch the video "Twisty Epiphany" to feel the experience.

You know I'm such a fool for you.....

Timothy Timmy Pollitt: loss of a special young NHS graduate



Timmy Pollitt

Timmy Pollitt, 31, beloved son, grandson, brother, friend and loyal Mountaineers fan, passed into the arms of our Heavenly Father early Easter morning, April 24, 2011, at a CAMC hospital. His death was the result of head trauma sustained in an accidental fall at home on the morning of April 21, 2011.

He will be remembered in Charleston as the lively Al E. Cat, mascot for the hometown baseball team. Timmy spent a number of summers in the stifling hot costume, entertaining fans young and old. He loved being the mascot as it allowed him to show his enthusiastic and fun loving personality, while bringing joy to many people.

Timothy David Pollitt was born July 3, 1979, at Thomas Memorial Hospital, South Charleston, to David R. Pollitt and Anna Epperly Pollitt.

He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Alexander Pollitt of Charleston; and his maternal grandparents, Ralph and Lola Morgan Epperly of Cool Ridge.

Timmy will be missed by his grandmother, Ann Gaspard Pollitt of Charleston, who relied on her dutiful grandson to care for her yard, feed her wild birds and make frequent visits.

He first attended Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in South Charleston when he was only three days old. He was in attendance there at the Tenebrae service Wednesday night, only hours before his accident. Blessed Sacrament is the backdrop for much of the Pollitt family life. As an adolescent, Timmy thrived in the Teens Encounter Christ (TEC) experience at the John XXIII Pastoral Center.

Cross Lanes was home to the Pollitts during Timmy's childhood. It was there he went to school, graduating with the Nitro High School class of 1997. As a young boy, Timmy enjoyed playing baseball, with his father as coach. A friendship with Kevin Waugh was forged on the baseball field; it was a friendship that would endure throughout Timmy's life.

While attending West Virginia University, Timmy adopted a ferret, Rocco, who become another dear confidant and part of the family. Timmy took Rocco with him everywhere he could and the two spent hours together. Timmy and the family have numerous entertaining stories of Rocco and Timmy was devastated by the loss of the littlest member of the family. Graduation from WVU with a degree in communications in 2002 ended Timmy's years as an official Mountaineer maniac. Those happy years are well documented with published photos of Timmy applying face paint to his fellow maniacs pre-game. His love for Mountaineer sports did not diminish with graduation. He remained a loyal fan through March Madness 2011. His future plans centered around the Quarrier Diner, the historic downtown restaurant and bar being renovated by the Pollitts, where Timmy was to be a manager. In December, he had received a degree in restaurant and hospitality management from West Virginia State University, in preparation for this role.

Timmy was a kind, loving, exuberant person and a respectful and devoted son.

Because he died so young, he leaves many to mourn.

He is survived by his brother, Christopher (Melissa) Pollitt of Charleston, S.C.; sister, Lisa Dawn Pollitt of Tega Cay, S.C.; niece, Sophia Ann Pollitt; and nephew, Aidan Christopher Pollitt, both of Charleston, S.C.; aunts and uncles, Jean (Gerald) Helm of Greensburg, Ind., Ruth (Roger) Yost of Cool Ridge, W.Va., Mason (Glenda) Epperly of Cool Ridge, W.Va., Donald (Nancy) Epperly of Buchanan, Va., Ralphetta (Mike) Bailey of Greenville, S.C., and Bob Pollitt of Charleston, W.Va.; and cousins, Rob Pollitt of Charlotte, N.C., Traci Pollitt of South Charleston, W.Va., Kevin (Karla) Helm of Indianapolis, Ind., Kenyon (Patty) Helm of Lebanon, Ind., Chad (Laura) Epperly of Buchanan, Va., Donnie (Connie) Epperly of Bridgeport, W.Va., Lesleyy (Scott) Cottrell of Morgantown, W.Va., and Robbie Bailey and Scott Bailey, both of Greenville, S.C.

The family wishes to send a very special thank you to the doctors and nurses of the CAMC General Hospital Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit, who treated Tim with dignity and provided outstanding care and support to Tim and his family. Their kindness in such a difficult time will be remembered always. Special thanks also go to Tim's friends, Kevin, Adam, Jim and Jason, as well as family, friends and neighbors for their outpouring of sympathy and support.

Hyperinflation; prepare for changes quickly

QE-2 (Quantitative Easing 2nd go-around) has kept the stock market looking healthy....this is the result of injection of 'funny money' by the Fed into our economy. The prices of stocks are inflated beyond belief....think about it...how many businesses are thriving, gas is $4.00/gallon, unemployment and food stamps are at all time highs, and there is a massive upheaval in the mid-east.

How strong is the U.S. dollar? Silver is $46.00+/ounce. Silver hasn't done anything...it is the devaluation of the dollar that requires the dramatic increase in dollar cost. We are now buying our OWN debt, due to a loss of confidence by other countries.

The effects of QE-2 funny money will end in May/June 2011...Expect the stock market to plummet and many will lose their retirement nest eggs. Japan won't be investing (due to their own tsunami), and China will be much less likely to buy our debt. One concern would be a massive sell off of the U.S. dollar by our enemies, domestic and foreign. This would, of course, send the dollar into a nose dive. Multi-billionaire (and convicted felon) George Soros (google Soros felon France) has a history of this attack on national economies.

My advice? Your dollar will never be worth more than today...ensure you have ample food, water, fuel, necessities to weather the coming price hyper-increases and scarcities.

Make sure you are as self reliant as possible....becoming a ward of the government (a la Katrina fiasco) is never a good thing! and turn off the mainstream media TV.

Good Luck....
