Beware the Watchdog

Article Abstract:

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is attacking a newsletter, and relating it to abuses of insider trading. The campaign the SEC is waging appears to be an attack on the First Amendment and freedom of the press. Federal regulations are being considered to quell investment newsletter and financial newspapers. This action is highly controversial and is regarded in some circles as a violation of the Bill of Rights.

Does soil pH matter?

Article Abstract:

The pH factor in soil measures the amounts of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions. If both are the same, then the soil is neutral, or, neither too acid or too alkaline. This would be a pH of seven. The more hydrogen, the more acidity; the more hydroxyl, the more alkalinity. These determine growth factors.
