James I was the son of Mary, Queen of Scots (and was descended from Henry VII's daughter Margaret).
James himself was fairly tolerant in terms of religious faith, but the Gunpowder Plot in 1605 resulted in the reimposition of strict penalties on Roman Catholics.
James II was named after his grandfather James I, and grew up in exile after the Civil War (he served in the armies of Louis XIV) and, after his brother's restoration, commanded the Royal Navy from 1660 to 1673.

 James Folsom, sr.
James Elisha Folsom, the forty-fifth and forty-seventh governor of Alabama, was born October 9, 1908, in Coffee County, one of eight children born to Joshua and Eulala Dunnavant Folsom.
Folsom took his campaign directly to the people and entertained them with a country band, the Strawberry Pickers, while he displayed the mop and suds bucket with which he intended to clean state government.
Folsom's first term in office was also marred by a paternity case and accusations "of scandal, misconduct, and corruption in various state agencies under Folsom's control or the guidance of his associates." He achieved some of his goals: increased funding to aid education and the elderly as well as road improvements.

 Electoral Returns in Alabama's Blackbelt
Folsom had finished second himself four years earlier in a campaign wherein his "greatest weakness was the Black Belt" (Barnard 21).
Ex-Governor Fob James, who switched to the Republican Party in order to seek a return to the Governor’s Mansion, was successful in large part due to the fact that 1994 was “a good year to run as a Republican,” as well as the perceived corruptness of the Folsom administration (Stovall et.
James narrowly defeated Governor Folsom statewide by less than 1% of the vote; however, he made only a modest showing in the Black Belt, carrying a mere seven counties, including his home county of Lee.

 Vitamin E & Atherosclerosis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant by donating an electron to neutralize reactive oxygen species and prevent oxidative damage thought to be responsible for atherosclerosis, oncogenesis, various neurologic problems and ophthalmic disorders.
In general, vitamin E absorption (unless taken as a water-miscible supplement) is dependent on pancreatic enzymes and bile salts which enhance absorption of fats in the small intestine.
The clinical trials assessing vitamin E in the treatment of peripheral vascular disease were flawed overall, as they had insufficient sample sizes or poor design (Table 3).

 James Goodner
It has been said by some of James' descendants that he received only six months schooling, but if such was the case then it is evident that he became self–taught, for his letters which have survived to this day reflect a much greater schooling than could possibly have been obtained in a six months period.
James returned from his army service, none the worse for it apparently, except that while in camp he did suffer severely from a very bad cold, and was still suffering from the memory of poor food while in service and the lack of any at all.
James wrote several letters to his parents and brother, Benjamin, in Illinois, and some of these have been saved all of these years.

Basadre, a Peruvian scholar, is participating here in the great debate, largely raised by Bolton’s provocative thesis (see Bolton, Herbert E.) that the Americas could be studied as having a commonly shared historical experience, that marked this era and that is now heating up once again, late in the twentieth century.
He argues that “the predicament of both reader and narrator derives from a belief that reason is sufficient to resolve all of life’s dilemmas” and that both James and Machado “saw a means of superceding the difficulties inherent in a totally empirical approach to life” (443).

The Associated Press has just reported that Rick James is dead, ending a 40-year career in which the singer, producer and instrumentalist spent his share of time on the charts and in the headlines.
Rick James started his career in the mid-60s as part of Motown's The Mynah Birds (briefly sharing stage space with Neil Young!) but didn't quite hit it big until 1981's Street Songs, the source of his immortal "Super Freak".
As the decade ended, James entered a bad patch; he later told Bankrate.com that he'd spent $7,000 per week on cocaine for five years running.
