'Your real name is David Webb.'



so i just finished 'elsinor' a week ago and decided to google charles webb to see what's up with him and find out he had just died :'

he wrote 'the graduate' shortly after graduating williams college, bought a house in williamstown, then gave it away to a bird sanctuary

i've tried to find the bird sanctuary it (people magazine circa 1988) mentions and there is a sort of bird sanctuary out on hancock road up in the taconic mountains bordering ny called forbush wildlife sanctuary

curiously, the robinsons had a house way out on hancock road near my uncle loyd

'Their second son, David, was born in 1967 in Laguna Beach, Calif., where they were living at Webb’s parents’ house. Three years later they purchased a $65,000 home in Williamstown, but, after a few weeks, decided to give that one away too, to the Audubon Society. '

no i called mass audubon and left a message i havent found the location yet probably the audubon society sold the property for funds

idk where it was located which makes it all more intriguing to me

'david webb' was jason bourne's real name in robert ludlum's ' the bourne ultimatum'

'They headed back East, this time to Williamstown, Mass., where they paid $65,000 cash for a spacious three-story brick house. Within a matter of days, they gave it to the Massachusetts Audubon Society. ("I wish we knew why we felt so uncomfortable with it," Fred says today.)'

'President-elect Donald Trump registered eight companies during his presidential campaign that appear to be tied to hotel interests in Saudi Arabia, according to a report in The Washington Post.
Trump registered the companies in August 2015, shortly after launching his presidential bid, according to The Post.
The companies were registered under names such as THC Jeddah Hotel and DT Jeddah Technical Services, according to financial disclosure filings.'

ron turcotte winds up travers week at saratoga



ron turcotte in van buren, maine in 2014






racing fans got a chance to meet ron turcotte at the horse racing hall of fame in saratoga springs new york yesterday, sunday august 24 2014 to cap travers week festivities at the storied community.


he was there for the screening of the documentaries ' ron turcotte - secretariat's jockey '  and '  penny and red - the life of secretariat's owner ' the former released in june 2013 and ms chenery's story 6 months later



earlier this year the paralyzed triple crown rider and longtime advocate for the wheelchaired created a scandal naying attending the kentucky derby ( which he rode to victory in twice ) due to churchhill downs' management's inadequate ada van accessible parking the year before where he wasn't able to gain entrance to the creme de la creme de menthe of horse races


on tragically hip 8 belles' owner rick porter's foxhillfarmstables.com site last april the man who guided one of the most powerful horses in history to the track's 1-1/4 mile record  said :


"Being confined to a wheelchair since my racing accident in 1978, it is no easy feat to maneuver through the crowds that attend the Derby festivities," he wrote. "It becomes a nearly impossible task when there is virtually no assistance from the track."


the legendary jockey lives in new brunswick ca and if you come up to van buren maine to sample some of acadia's delectable dining, you might bump into him getting his stateside mail at the post office or ordering ployes at robin's


 he enjoys promoting the sport he loves so stop up and say hi '

A large body of clinical studies has implicated the important role of sex hormones in the development of type 2 diabetes, and it's known that SHBG not only regulates the sex hormones that are biologically active but may also bind to receptors in a variety of cells, directly mediating the signaling of sex hormones.'
Reporting with colleagues in the current edition of the journal Diabetes, first author Atsushi Goto, a UCLA doctoral student in epidemiology, and Dr. Simin Liu, a professor of epidemiology and medicine with joint appointments at the UCLA School of Public Health and the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, show that women who drink at least four cups of coffee a day are less than half as likely to develop diabetes as non-coffee drinkers. ''
'
June 26, 2006 -- Postmenopausal women who drink at least six daily cups of coffee -- especially decaffeinated coffee -- may be less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who never drink coffee.
So says a study in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Researchers from the University of Minnesota's School of Public Health -- including Mark Pereira, PhD -- studied more than 28,800 Iowa women for 11 years.  '
