Mace Siegel, Columbia College and Columbia Business School alumnus and real estate magnate, died October 26th at his home in Beverly Hills. He was 86.

With Richard Cohen, Siegel founded the namesake shopping-mall development company in 1964 in New York City, combining their first names and naming it Macerich.  The company established a headquarters in Ames, Iowa, finding a niche as a redeveloper of shopping centers, ultimately moving to Santa Monica to oversee the rehabilitation of an outdated mall in Lakewood.  Siegel retired from the company in 2008.

Born Sept. 1, 1925, in Jersey City, N.J., in Jersey City, N.J., and serving in the Navy during World War II, Siegel attended Columbia University after the war, graduating from Columbia College in 1948 then studying at the Columbia School of Business. In 1962 Siegel met his future wife, Jan, a big band singer on a blind date at New York's Aqueduct racetrack and they married three months later.

The two horse lovers purchased their first racehorse in 1964 and named the filly Najecam, which is "Mace" and "Jan" combined and spelled backward. By the mid-1970s, they had the first of dozens of stakes winners.  Among their best-known horses were 2004 male juvenile champion Declan's Moon and grade I stakes winners Boys at Tosconova, I Ain't Bluffing, Urbane, Stormy But Valid, Miss Iron Smoke, Hedonist, and I Believe in You. Other stars included Arson Squad, Rail Trip, Forest Fealty, and Love of Money.  In October of 2011, Redeemed won the Oklahoma Derby at Remington Park.  Other major race winners include Rail Trip, who took the prestigious Hollywood Gold Cup in 2009, and Urbane, who won races in the mid-1990s in Florida, Maryland and Delaware, earning more than a million dollars for the Siegels.

The Siegel family settled in Beverly Hills in 1976 and became fixtures on the Southern California racing circuit. Jan was as enthusiastic about racing as her husband.

In the early 1980s Siegel, considered a godfather of Southern California horse racing for his role as an advocate for the sport, founded the Thoroughbred Owners Against Drugs to press for equine drug testing and other measures to ensure a fairer playing field.  He also made generous donations to the California Retirement Management Account (CARMA) for retired racehorses, and supported the charitable Edwin Gregson Foundation.  Beyond racing, Siegel's philanthropy included the City of Hope cancer center.

When CARMA was just getting started in 2008, Siegel stood up at a fundraiser and pledged $200,000, then challenged other industry participants to show their support for racehorse retirement programs. In 2008, he and daughter Samantha were honored by the Edwin J. Gregson Foundation for their industry leadership and charitable giving. Earlier this year, Siegel pledged $1.5 million to the City of Hope in Duarte, Calif., to endow a professorship. He and wife Jan were longtime supporters of the City of Hope, a leading research, treatment and education center for cancer, diabetes and other life-threatening diseases. A wing of the hospital is named in honor of Jan Siegel, who died from cancer in 2002.

Siegel had 50 years of experience in the shopping center business. He served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Macerich Co. from September 1993 to September 4, 2008 and Director and Chairman Emeritus from September 2008 to June 8, 2009.

Macerich owns and operates 70 regional shopping centers around the country with 22 shopping centers in California, 12 of which are in the SoCal area including:  the Westside Pavilion in West LA, the newly rebuilt Santa Monica Place, the Stonewood Center in Downey, Paseo Nuevo in Santa Barbara, Panorama Mall, Pacific View in Ventura, The Oaks in Thousand Oaks, Northridge Mall, Los Cerritos Center, Lakewood Center, La Cumbre Plaza in Santa Barbara, and the Inland Center in San Bernardino.

Siegel is survived by his daughter, Samantha, of Beverly Hills, and his son, Evan, of Simi Valley.  Services will be held at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, 6300 Forest Lawn Drive, Los Angeles.

JAMIE OLIVER WINS AGAINST McDonald's

McDonald's loses the legal battle with chef Jamie Oliver, who proved that the food they sell is not fit to be ingested because it is highly toxic.

Chef Jamie Oliver has won a battle against the world's largest junk food chain. Oliver proving how burgers are made.

 

According to Oliver, the fat parts of meat are "washed" with ammoniac hydrogen and then used in the packaging of the meat "cake" to fill the burger. Before this process, according to the presenter, already this meat was not suitable for human consumption.

 

Oliver, a radical activist chef, who has waged a war against the food industry, says: We’re talking about meat that would be sold as dog food and after this process it’s served to humans. In addition to the quality of meat, ammonium acid is harmful to health. Oliver says this: "The process of the pink shit".

What sane human being would put a piece of meat soaked in ammonium hydrogen in the mouth of a child?

 

In another of his initiatives Oliver has demonstrated how chicken nuggets are made: after selecting the "best parts", the rest: fat, skin, cartilage, visuals, bones, head, legs, are subjected to a mec split smoothie canica - it's the euphemism that engineers use in food, and then that blood pink paste is deodorant, bleached, re-refreshed and repainted, dipped in flour and fried melcocha, this is left in usually partially hydrogenated oils, that is, toxins.

 

The food industry uses ammonium hydrogen as an anti-microbial agent, which allowed McDonald's to use meat in its burgers, which is not suitable for human consumption.

 

But even more disturbing is the situation that these substances based on ammonium hydrogen are considered 'lawful components in the production process' in the food industry with the blessings of health authorities worldwide o. So consumers will never be able to discover what substances they put in our food.

I always liked this guy ........ still do

 

Meet Joe Bidens boss - George

 

What do you think?

 

Get on your Bike and Ride ...... or just walk

 The bicycle is the slow death of the planet.

 

General Director of Euro Exim Bank Ltd. got economists thinking when he said:

"A cyclist is a disaster for the country's economy: he does not buy cars and does not borrow money to buy. He does not pay for insurance policies. He does not buy fuel, does not pay for the necessary maintenance and repairs. He does not use paid parking. He does not cause serious accidents. He does not require multi-lane highways. He does not get fat.

 

Healthy people are neither needed nor useful for the economy. They don't buy medicine. They do not go to hospitals or doctors. Nothing is added to the country's GDP (gross domestic product).

 

On the contrary, every new McDonald's restaurant creates at least 30 jobs: 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 dietary experts and nutritionists, and obviously, people who work at the restaurant itself."

Choose carefully: cyclist or McDonald's? It is worth considering.

 

P.S. Walking is even worse. Pedestrians don't even buy bicycles.
