Yesterday New York expat Matt Mireles "speared a sacred cow," in his words, by questioning the credentials of TechStars director David Tisch, whom he has never met. "Why is Techstars NYC run by a non-entrepreneur?," he tweeted, with a link to Mr. Tisch's TechStars profile, and tagged the tweet "#confused #BigCoSubsidiariesAreNotStartups."
We have to admit, we were curious about Mr. Tisch's credentials too. We didn't know the story of how Mr. Tisch came to be director of TechStars NY. Turns out it's a pretty interesting one.
Once upon a time, Mr. Tisch wanted to start an accelerator in New York. He had this idea after presiding over the incubation of a start-up, Knowmore, within the internet-based directory assistance company KGB. He was also running a private fund, BoxGroup, that's basically money he and his two brothers have put aside from their eminent, wealthy and well-connected New York family; he was one of the first investors to say yes to GroupMe and also has invested in Boxee and Flavors.me. He is arguably responsible for bringing TechStars to New York.
"When I left my last job at KGB, I felt there was a missing piece in this infrastructure in New York," he said during an interview for the podcast Mixergy. "The start-up scene was really blossoming and there was no structure at the bottom. When I looked there I looked at this accelerator model, I spent about two months studying Y Combinator and TechStars to understand what it is that they've done to get to level that they've gotten to and to potentially start my own. In two months at work I realized how incredibly hard and successful these two programs were… I just thought like kind of trying to start talking to some people in New York and put something together because the city was missing that piece, and so I didn't know what it was going to look like but I did some homework to try to figure out what it might take.
"After I looked, I sort of put it away in the back of my mind, and I started working on a start-up of my own, in the sports gaming space… I started to do some more angel investing. I went up to this conference in Boston, Angel Boot camp, which was an awesome collection of people talking about angel investing. I saw David Cohen walking around the room by himself and I walked up to him and said, 'Hey man, why aren't you in New York?' and he said 'Who are you?' and we started talking, I gave him a little bit about my background and that conversation ended that day. I went to Boston's demo day the next day looking at companies and David again was off in a corner by himself as he tends to be. He's very removed, at times in the best way, he sort of watches over everything which we have slightly different personalities in our energy, I guess, in a social setting. David was standing there and I was like, 'All right, so really why aren't you in New York?,' and he explained 'We're looking at couple other cities, New York, L.A. being two of them and we're looking for someone to run the program.' He laid out a list of five criteria as to what he's looking for, and I started rattling off some names of people I thought were qualified to fill that role.
(The five criteria were: a successful start-up, a failed startup, an angel investment, a good network of entrepreneurs, and another Mr. Tisch couldn't remember. Mr. Tisch was missing a successful exit and the forgettable fifth criterion.)
"At the end I said, 'I have maybe three of those five things but I'm very interested in this opportunity, but I'm probably underqualified.' And he said. 'Well if you're serious, I'd like to talk about a few people who have brought up your name.' And I'm like, 'Oh cool.' So, I ended up flying out to boulder the next week and I think this is where we really hit it off. Instead of trying to figure out an itinerary or booking an interview I said, 'How 'bout I just get on a plane, fly to Boulder for four or five days, hang out and see if we like each other.' He goes, 'That's exactly what I would like to do.'
"So, literally I got on a plane, booked a hotel room and just hung out at TechStars in Boulder for five days without any contacts, without any agenda outside of an hour-long interview with Brad Feld and the guys at Foundry Group."
Mr. Mireles's tweet that questioned Mr. Tisch's credentials understandably sparked a retorts from heavyweights Chris Dixon–"David's one of the good guys"–and Mark Suster–"I'm with Chris on this one"–as well as some smaller but similarly supportive potatoes in the New York tech scene. Chris Paik, venture capital scout and man-about-tech-scene for Thrive Capital, responded, "To question @davetisch is to question @bfeld & @davidcohen. 99% of "veterans" couldn't hold a candle to what he's done." To which Mr. Mireles replied, "I didn't get where I am by deferring to authority figures. It is perfectly legit to question TechStars's syndication model."
A debate ensued on Twitter between defenders of Mr. Tisch and those who supported Mr. Mireles for being skeptical.
(Mr. Mireles, who moved out to the Bay Area a little over a year ago to start a company, SpeakerText, and has attracted a lot of attention for the manifesto he wrote explaining why and subsequent public statements comparing the relative start-up friendliness of the two cities, is not a seasoned founder either. He fought fires, went to journalism school, and worked as an EMT before he decided to become an entrepreneur.)
There is one point of evidence. The New York TechStars program recently hosted its first demo day, which attracted a huge crowd and resulted in rave reviews from prominent investors from all over the country.
The program has also been considered such a success so far internally that TechStars recently added a summer program to supplement the fall session–primarily because Mr. Tisch persuaded him, Mr. Cohen said at the time.
"I did see the tweet and I thought it was kind of silly," TechStars founder David Cohen said. "David's a very active angel investor. He's been involved in over 40 startups as investor, founder, employee. He's lived with start-ups his whole life and he's doing it for all the right reasons. He has the community in the New York City ecosystem in his heart and his soul. He knocked it out of the park on his first at-bat."
Does Mr. Tisch have founder experience, we asked? "I think he started a company or two," Mr. Cohen said. "I don't have his bio in front of me."
A.k.a., who cares? It's still early to say how successful the New York TechStars program really is–they haven't gotten blind offers from Yuri Milner yet–but we question the assumption that founder cred is essential or sacred. If the program fails, we're betting won't be because it wasn't run by a founder. Meanwhile, Mr. Mireles appears to be backpedaling on his tweet after TechStars founder Reece Pacheco voiced praise for Mr. Tisch. "When an entrepreneur says to me: 'Dude, the guy is legit' about someone, I take it seriously," Mr. Mireles tweeted.
for the record, this is what i said to Matt: "@mattmireles i'm going to jump into the fray here and say – as a @techstars NYC alum – that @davetisch added a ton of value to our company."
Correct. And for the record, I think it speaks to Dave's credit that the entrepreneurs who've actually worked with him are speaking up and saying the dude kicks ass.
My original comment, while provocative, was borne out of a mix of real curiosity and genuine confusion. Like, how did this guy end up that position without founder credentials? I think it's a totally fair question to ask, especially when the guy comes from family money and didn't create his wealth himself.
In my experience as an entrepreneur––and SpeakerText is a funded company backed by some top top angels––the most helpful people are operators who've been through the entrepreneurial roller coaster before.
Pure investors can give you insight into the funding & capital markets, but rarely much else. The real insight comes from people who've lived with the fear, the uncertainty, the excitement of the entrepreneurial journey. I know this from experience.
Not only have I pitched tons of investors (of varying backgrounds), but I've also had the privilege of working with brilliantly helpful entrepreneurs like the founder of Netflix, a man whose awesome advice and mentorship wouldn't be what it is if he hadn't played the game himself, once upon a time. Hence my question.
All that said, several of the entrepreneurs that Dave's backed have spoken up and said great things, which is to his credit. I personally don't know the guy one way or the other, and I wish him, TechStars and the NYC startup scene all the best. It seems like people love Dave Tisch. #Win
All I had was a question.
Matt, for the record, the best people that I have ever worked with did not fit a mold. Your question is fair, but there is a lot underneath that does not come to light in the cold confines of an online bio or resume.
Sure, everyone is a nuanced, unique and special flower. But when you take on a high profile role, you are judged by what's out there about you, that's life––especially on the internet.
And I think the Internet responded to you loud and clear…
And by the way, it is beautiful butterflies. We are all beautiful and unique butterflies…
+1, fellow @techstars NYC alum, @davetisch has been a huge value add for us, and one of the hardest working guys I've seen in the NY Tech community. The list of companies he's helped, speaks for itself.
He really has eaten his way to the top.
so this tisch guy is just from a wealthy family with nothing to lose and money to toss around, threw a bunch of his family money around, and walks around like he knows what hard work, sacrifice, and overcoming difficulties are like? are you fucking kidding me? i just watched the first episode and he sounds like a major d-bag. i was going to give him a pass if he created something worthwhile on his own while overcoming genuine disadvantages, but after finding out he's a rich douche, i've lost all respect for him. fuck that.


text: Just finished watching this on youtube and wondered if anybody watched this and how accurate it is. I know the parts about him being a tough boss, his thoughts on communists and the rumours about his views on race but something I had never heard before was about his "dealing" with some guy named Willie Bioff to put an end to the animators strike. And also did he really develop nervous ticks like washing his hands 30 times in a hour? Interesting stuff, kinda came off like they were out to get him a little. Don't flame on me for bringing this up cause this isn't your typical Walt Disney Treasures documentary on Walt. If your afaid that this may change your views about him, I wouldn't watch it. Again, I don't know how accurate this is.

"It's like a renaissance going on with all of these groups," says Gift of Gab of the group Blackalicious, who has been trudging his way through the Northern California underground scene since the early '90s. "East Coast and West Coast, like Common, Mos Def, Planet Asia, Dilated, the Roots, Slum Village -- it's just a good time in hip-hop right now."
Blackalicious is a name that can safely be added to the list of artists who are participating in the creative uprising. Gab and his partner, Chief Xcel, have helped diversify the flavor of Bay Area hip-hop; though their music goes down as smooth as Swiss chocolate, the two are often as smartly defiant as a sultry Nina Simone singing tales in exile about the African diaspora.
The title of Blackalicious's first full-length album, NIA, released in February on the Quannum Projects label, is a Swahili word that means "purpose." Indeed, the disc reveals a tight focus and original vision -- something made all the more clear by an emphasis on the duo's songwriting skills -- while showcasing some of Gab and Xcel's musical influences and inspirations. The effort has them traversing "everything from funk to gospel to rock to psychedelic to reggae," says Xcel. "It's an infinite world of music out here," he explains. "It's an infinite world of creativity out there, and we just consider ourselves students of it. We're just really trying to synthesize all of our influences into our sound."
Hip-hop fans have waited a long time for Blackalicious to drop this joint. After the primo EP Melodica blazed the underground when it hit in October 1995, heads had to wait until the release of the A 2 G EP in 1999 for another sample of the crew's lyrical skills and funkified jams. So why the wait?
"We just kind of wanted to work on our own schedule," says Xcel. "We considered NIA to be the first real chapter of our book. We're really working to develop a real solid body of work, and we considered Melodica and A 2 G the preface. With chapter one, we wanted to make sure that we took our time and just really put it together exactly the way we wanted it to be put together. So we did a lot of weeding out and a lot of soul-searching with a lot of songs."
Bearing in mind Blackalicious's episodic approach to its release schedule, one might consider everything that preceded NIA as foreplay. And if the critical and fan acclaim that has greeted this disc since its release is any indication, NIA was well worth the wait. In the end, Gift of Gab and Xcel selected eighteen songs out of more than 45 that had been recorded, and from the first moments of the disc's intro, the group shows off a refined sound that complements its consciousness-raising rhymes. Lyrically, the release brings forth a message-oriented vibe that commingles a Black consciousness with a Native Tongues-era positivity.
"You have to take responsibility as an artist," says Gab. "There are a lot of things that are ill and messed up in the world, but you have to focus on solutions. When you have a problem, you can't focus on the problem; you have to focus on solutions."
On the album's opening cut, "Searching," the Gift of Gab and Quannum affiliate Erinn Anova set the album's course by intoning, "The struggle is the blessing"; in the chorus that follows, voices repeat the word "Nia." In "Shallow Days" Gab speaks out against those who feel that "If you ain't killing niggers in rhymes, then your whole sound is just bubblegum." He defiantly replies: "I said I won't contribute to genocide/I'd rather try to cultivate the inside and try to evolve the frustrated ghetto mind." Another track finds Anova reciting "Ego Trip," a poem written by Black poet Nikki Giovanni that's aimed at young people of color. Xcel explains, "We felt like right now in the 2000 environment, there are so many messages and images put to our children of color from every angle that, if not interpreted with guidance, can let them feel not important, not really special. So we put that there to say 'Celebrate yourself. You have a rich heritage, you have a rich culture, this is you, and this is yours to celebrate.'"
Blackalicious takes a more political stance on "Cliffhanger," sampling a well-known speech in which activist Kwame Turé (the black activist and American exile in Africa known in the '60s as Stokely Carmichael) addresses issues related to African identity. "We must understand that for black people, the question of community is not a question of geography but a question of color," the sample blares. Xcel constructed this dub-tinged track around the time the bicoastal beefs in American hip-hop began to escalate. "That [sample of the] speech by Kwame Turé was actually put together and recorded during the time of this whole East Coast/West Coast thing," he explains. "That was really just a statement of the silliness of that. The African diaspora, whether you go to Brazil or Cuba or Norway -- you know that's where your people are, and it's ludicrous to be tripping off geographical boundaries."

Surprisingly, I'm building a business on pickles.
A month ago, I introduced you to my biggest endeavor to date, my current preoccupation, my new baby: the Lostine Tavern. Every single day, things are happening, especially now that the building is plumbed and wired. (If you've ever remodeled your home, you understand that every bit of infrastructure arcana is exciting. Oh, and the baby analogy serves here, too.)
While my biz partner Peter Ferre and I are choosing our light fixtures, finalizing our seating and creating a fantastic menu (go here to weigh in on deli sandwiches and more), I have a pressing need to get into the kitchen and start pickling.
No big deal, right? I mean, I've been a devoted pickler for years now. Using Benjamin's Aunt Lydia's basic formula, I start with the spring asparagus from Walla Walla and keep that brine happening beyond the beet harvest. I bring jars of spicy asparagus to potlucks, open escabeche for taco night and garnish charcuterie plates with gherkins.
Here's the difference: I am about to pickle on a scale I have never before imagined. And, I have to produce them in time for our opening, slated for May 15. That is exactly 51 days/1224 hours away/untold 5-gallon buckets of brine from today.
Every backer of our crowdfunding project at every reward level will get an LT pickle. Of our 66 backers to date, some people will certainly want a half sour. For some a pickle is always a cucumber.
You may note, it's March, a good four months from cucumber season. But running a restaurant is creative problem solving just like this, and it fires me up.
With every donation, another pickle. I am counting pickles, planning for pickles, looking for vegetables to pickle: carrots, beets, asparagus, onions, potatoes and imported cukes. I call my friends in my network of producers. Do you have anything I can pickle?
I am looking into the world of pickles more vast and complex than I've known before. Pickle as metaphor?
All of which leads me to this burning question: What's the most unusual pickle you've ever had?

Never Settle News
These stories, from across campus, highlight the UA's broad and varied efforts to realize Never Settle goals.
Never Settle in the News
Local and national media coverage of the UA's work in Never Settle's four key areas: innovating, engaging, partnering and synergy.
Never Settle in Action
Some recent accomplishments of the UA's Never Settle Strategic Academic and Business Plan, in no particular order and as of November 24, 2014
1.Institute for Career Readiness and Engagement connects students with real-world experiences
The UA has launched the Institute for Career Readiness and Engagement to help students build their resumés and prepare them to graduate workforce-ready. With support from the Office of the Governor's Workforce Development Grant program, the institute will connect students with experiences and employers like never before, through expanded early career coaching programs, an enhanced Internship Readiness Program and more.
2.New UA degree to address critical need for Arizona
The Arizona Board of Regents has approved the UA's Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Program, set to launch in fall 2015. The program will help address the critical veterinarian shortage in rural Arizona communities and tribal nations and will benefit bioscience businesses and promote public health.
3.Transformative gift supports scientific and cultural studies
A transformative gift of more than $50 million from the estate of philanthropist Agnese Nelms Haury will allow the UA to establish a unique interdisciplinary program focused on environment, society and the Southwest. One of the largest gifts in University history, it pushed the $1.5 billion Arizona NOW fundraising campaign past the billion-dollar threshold.
4.Supporting campus researchers
The UA's Office of Research and Discovery, formerly the Office of the Senior Vice President for Research, has been restructured to provide improved research administration services for campus researchers. A new Research Development Services unit within the office will offer centralized support for researchers, including direct communication about funding opportunities and consultation and workshops on how to find and successfully compete for external funding.
5.New opportunities for cross-border collaboration
The recently opened Arizona State Trade and Investment Office in Mexico City will help enhance partnerships between the UA and the business and science and technology communities in Mexico. The UA has maintained its own Mexico City office since 2007, focused on research and partnerships between the University and Mexico.
6.Early Recruitment unit established to support enrollment goals
An Early Recruitment unit has been established within the Office of Early Academic Outreach to help prepare students and their families to join the UA community. Early Recruitment provides middle school students, parents and educators with programming to ensure that students are aware, eligible and prepared for a college education. The unit aims to have a presence in every middle/junior high in Pima County and to eventually expand statewide.
7.Transfer students on the rise
The number of Arizona community college students who transfer to the UA increased by 9 percent between 2011 and 2014, with an increase of 2.7 percent between fall 2013 and fall 2014. Meanwhile, the UA continues to establish more bridge-to-transfer agreements with community colleges across the state. As of October 2014, the University had such agreements with 17 colleges – six of those added in the prior 12 months – with four others in discussions.
8.Workshop series touts multidisciplinarity
The University has launched a workshop series, titled "Let's Talk Multidisciplinary," that focuses on the value of, and strategies for, collaborative multidisciplinary efforts. National agencies are increasingly looking to such collaborations to address big issues. This workshop series is designed to bring together faculty members and researchers on campus to talk about the multidisciplinarity and how it can enable the campus innovate, grow and meet the challenges of Never Settle.
9.UA responsibility-centered management initiative moves forward
Significant progress has been made on the UA's Responsibility Centered Management budget initiative. The RCM preliminary model has been completed with data from FY11, FY12, FY13 and FY14, been reviewed by the RCM Steering Committee and the Responsibility Unit Business Officers group, and is being developed into the preliminary RCM forecasting model. This forecasting model is expected to be completed sometime in October. Meetings to update campus stakeholders on the progress of the RCM process are taking place with a variety of audiences, and a robust schedule of meetings and open forums is planned for fall and spring semesters.
10.UA to invest in world-class online writing program
The UA's Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management and Office of Academic Initiatives and Student Success is partnering with the Department of English in the College of Social and Behavioral Science to develop the best online writing program in the country. This year, the Department of English will begin development of a pilot writing program and also hire an expert in online writing. This initiative, which parallels the UA's commitment to building fully-online programming that meets the high quality standards of the institution, will help propel the UA into the top tier of campuses developing cutting edge digital educational resources.
11.UA transcripts will show students' work readiness
The UA's 100% Student Engagement initiative, a key part of the Never Settle plan, ensures internships, research efforts, studies abroad and other work-ready opportunities are available to all UA students to gain real-world, practical experience—and beginning this fall, such experience will be notated on transcripts.
12.Tech Launch Arizona elevates UA research commercialization
Tech Launch Arizona has worked with the faculty senate to revise tenure rules to incentivize faculty commercialization and entrepreneurial activities. In the last fiscal year, Tech Launch Arizona negotiated 72 licenses, filed 167 patent applications, secured 24 patents and helped jump start 11 new companies.
13.UA's Guaranteed Tuition program provides peace of mind
A primary goal of Never Settle is keeping the UA affordable for qualified students. UA's recently launched Guaranteed Tuition program will provide students—and their families—with a predictable budget for college and a strong incentive to graduate in four years.
14.Support for UA Native American grad students gets boost with $2.4 million grant
This grant from the Sloan Indigenous Graduate Partnership will renew for three years, enabling the UA to realize the Never Settle goal to bolster efforts to recruit, retain and graduate Native Americans, specifically in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, the STEM disciplines.
15.UAHN and Banner agreement could represent a significant investment into Tucson and the University for healthcare and related education and research activities
The proposed transaction includes $500 million in capital commitment within five years of closing for new construction, renovation and expansion in support of the clinical enterprise; an additional $20 million in annual academic support for the clinical enterprise for at least the next 15 years, and the establishment of a $300 million endowment that would provide a guaranteed $20 million a year over the next 30 years in support of the academic endeavors and activities of the University's Colleges of Medicine.
16.New Research Gateway will help UA increase research expenditures
This online resource will serve as a one-stop shop for researchers seeking information on funding opportunities; how to put together proposals; understanding the responsible conduct of research; and more—contributing to the Never Settle goal of doubling UA research expenditures by 2023, from $600 million to over $1 billion. Researchers currently at the UA, and those yet to be hired in the coming years, will benefit from user-friendly access to the support they need in seeking external grants and contracts.
17.Digital humanities initiatives expand at the UA
In the spirit of Never Settle's pillar—innovating—an increasing number of UA employees are engaged in the digital humanities movement, one that encourages the expansion and use of technologies like geo-tagging, informatics and augmented realities to enhance student learning and cross-discipline engagement. Advocates include: UA English professor Ken McAllister, an expert in Internet memes; Africana Studies professor Bryan Carter, who is teaching students how to harness the power of the digital world; and Malcolm Compitello, professor and head of the UA Department of Spanish and Portuguese, who has led digital humanities task force for the College of Humanities.
18.Making sense of how we do things
In its inaugural year, the Campaign for Common Sense, a quality improvement program that solicits employee recommendations, has generated more than 800 unique ideas to diversify revenue, increase efficiency, grow our research enterprise, enhance the student experience, and improve the quality of work life. Implemented improvements include an expedited approach for managing clinical trials, a more flexible course withdrawal policy, a streamlined faculty hiring process, more transparent communication about academic program fees, and a cost-saving enterprise learning management system for employees.
19.UA student retention efforts are helping students graduate
First Time, Full Time Freshman (FTFTF) Retention rates are at their highest levels ever for the University of Arizona. Retention rates have increased significantly since 2010. In 2010, first-to-second-year retention was 77.4%. For 2013, the overall student retention increased to 81.5% and retention of ethnic minority students increased to 80.9% (9% better than 2010).
20.UA Genetics Core accredited for precision health testing
The UA Genetics Core, a member of the UA BIO5 Institute, was recently accredited to provide genetic testing—placing the UA in a position to offer a number of genetic testing options to the medical community at large, advancing the emerging field of precision health that allows physicians to customize treatments for patients. Building strength in this area is a Never Settle strategic priority.

I have a problem with swollen feet. Actually, it's my left foot that swells really big and my calf. My right foot swells somewhat and my right calf does, too. I am a COPD patient, with asthma and emphysema with high blood pressure. My daughter calls my left foot "elephant" foot because it swells and leaves a big roll where my foot bends.
I don't eat an exorbant amount of salt, just normal, and haven't had much added salt in the last couple of days. I sit at a computer about a week or two a month and it swells really bad then. What are the main reasons for swelling. |

Water retention is the usual reason for swelling. Sometime it's poor circulation, but usually it's fluid. Normal amounts of salt are too much. Don't add any. Not even a tiny bit. It will take a while, but you will get used to food without it. Get used to looking at labels. It will surprise you have much some prepared things have. Skip the ketchup, soy sauce, bacon and other preserved meats. Trust me, it will make a difference. |
Actually, I know it is water retention and, I think, circulation is a problem, too. I am editor of a small newsletter and sit at the computer a lot. It seems to me that when I do, my left foot and leg swell a lot. I take dirurectics but that doesn't help too much. I know that adding salt could be a problem so try to back off of adding it most of the time. I know, I shouldn't do it at all! I also have bad lungs, COPD, and water sometimes gets in my lungs and around my heart. Boy, that doesn't feel good at all. Thank you for your information. |

Could also be a symptom of Hypothyroidism. The doctors might say it isn't, but visit any thyroid message board and you will hear otherwise. I have a problem with swelling feet (even wake up with them) and I have Hashimotos Hypothyroidism. |
- Posted by southernrn (My Page) on Sat, Sep 1, 07 at 12:48
Another cause to consider is vascular disease. If there is a blockage in of the veins in that leg, it can cause swelling. Also, a DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a possibility. Especially if you're having pain in your calf. Heart problems can definately manifest with symptoms of edema in the lower extremities, but it would usually be bilateral swelling, not just in one side. I definately think you should visit your doctor. He/she may want to order a venous doppler (ultrasound) of the leg to make sure there are no blood flow problems or clots. Keep us posted! |
- Posted by Jessica(firstname.lastname@example.com) onThu, Aug 11, 11 at 2:19
Swollen fee can be caused by several factors. Normally the underlying cause that blood circulation in your lower leg is impaired. Normally, this can be cause by vein or venous problems. There are three types of blood vessels in the body: the arteries, veins and capillaries (small ones). The veins are the the blood vessels that carry blood from different parts of the body to the heart, while arteries are the ones that carry blood from the heart to the different organs of the body. Venous problem happens when there is a malfunction in the vein of the lower leg. Meaning, the blood in the lower leg stays because of either an injury in the vein, that causes the blood and fluid to stay and leak out the surrounding areas of the leg causing swelling or the there is a valve malfunction in the veins. The valves in the blood vessels are the ones making sure that the blood flows in one direction -- that is to the heart.If there is a malfunction, the blood won't be flowing to the correct direction. These conditions mentioned are actually some of the causes of leg swelling, in effect when left untreated develops to serious venous disorders such as Deep vein thrombosis, chronic vein disease, varicose veins and many more. I highly suggest you see a doctor, leg swelling can lead to more serious conditions if ignored. Compression stockings help prevent leg swelling by regulating blood flow and ensuring that legs get the right amount of compression to keep leg healthy and venous disease free. I have been wearing compression stockings for almost three years now. Ever since I noticed minor leg swelling beacuse of my work -- sitting all day at work in front of the computer. Standing up are moving my feet every now end then doesn't do the trick anymore. I hope this information helped! |

Could also be your kidneys arent working well thats the first thing they check at dialysis to see if your retaining fluid,you need too go to your dr.You may just need a fluid pill to take withh your bp pills,extra fluid also makes your bp go up. |
Drink only when you are thirsty and when you sit you need a recliner if you can afford one. In other words elevate you feet and legs and see a doctor. |
My mom is going through this right now. Legs,especially the left 1 was swelling (leg she broke years ago & hip has disappeared from being hit in car accident.) Was doing exercises & walking around block2-3 times a day couple of years ago. Now 89. Had tests for clots & deep vein problems & nothing week ago. Been on diuretics for month & potassium by mouth but not helping much. some days legs hard, others softer, now getting harder. Dr. said wed. she needs pacemaker. Her pulse is over 100- was 120 tonight. We may end up in ER as her cardiologist is on vacation & he gives go ahead,he doesn't do the surgery tho). 26th is long time to wait. She used compression for long time,but no more, causes lot of pain. Her heart is beating too fast trying to get blood back up to heart but when too fast the beats are not as strong as should be & blood pools & can't get up there. DD & I have emergency plan worked out where she will come over to take care of my dad(in wheelchair) while I go over to hospital with mom. Nonnie should be looking at sides of pkgs & boxes to see how much sodium is in everything she buys. Some frozen dinners have enough salt in the 1 meal for your whole day. The salt shaker should not be out & no salt used in cooking. Even then if heart is going, may need pacemaker, change in BP meds. thyroid check, diabetes check etc. Should have good BP machine at home & if BP is much more than 120/80 & pulse over 50-80 you should be talking to dr. I've known several people that thought taking their BP pill each day "would take care of it" they are dead!! Neighbor had ITA & still won't get a BP machine, guess little stroke is no big deal. Omron makes a good 1 & little less than $100. Then take BP in morning & evening so you can tell whether BP med. is doing enough- it's called "the silent killer" for a reason, you often 'don't feel bad" until it's time to go to ER you are so bad off. So be more careful with what goes in your mouth. Ice cream might be 100 milligrams of sodium for 1/2 cup but 1/2 cup is rarely amount we put in a bowl, it's more like at least a cup so that is 200 mg sodium. So even bread can be very dangerous as lot of it is loaded with sodium. 160 a slice=320 for 2 ,2 tbs. mayo 180mg. 1 oz cheese another 170- 240 mg sodium so you have about 700 mg sodium plus a few chips & you are nearly 1000 mg for lunch. Tuna or other lunch meats would be even more. I cook chicken & even roast beef(used sparingly in soup) with just onion powder, couple tbs butter & some water & it tastes fine after you get used to not tasting salt on everything. You can eat watermelon,melons, tomatoes without grabbing the salt shaker & adding it until it's white. YOU DO HAVE TO MAKE SOME CHANGES IF YOU ARE SALT SENSITIVE! Pills alone won't do it. Good Luck! |
You need to go on the internet and check the side effects of her meds. My husband walked into the care home under his on power, but in 2 months he was in a wheel chair. His legs were like logs and hard as rocks. I called a care meeting they wrote up 4 pages of complaints. I insisted they take him off all meds but his tranquilizer. As a result his legs returned to normal and as a result of that, they re-evaluated a couple of other patients that had the same side effects. |

Have you tried diabetic socks for your swelling? That used to happen to my aunt, and so we got her some Sugar Free Sox I posted the link below. They come in different sizes and colors. She puts them on first thing in the morning, just as she�s getting out of bed, and they�ve really helped her with the swelling. If this doesn't work, then I second the opinion that you should see a doctor. |

text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 434 - 07 October, 1993 Adjournment Debate. - Export Credit Insurance. Mr. Rabbitte Mr. Rabbitte Mr. Rabbitte: I understand the Cabinet, at its meeting today, decided to reintroduce export credit insurance for beef exports to Iran. While easy headlines have been inspired by lawyers' fees at the Beef Tribunal, this hugely controversial issue which was such a major issue before the tribunal has received very little analysis to date. Now that the Government has made its decision, there is a need to look at the economic rationale for awarding the benefit of export credit insurance to a third country, specifically, in this case, Iran. What are the benefits which are conferred on a national economy through the provision of subsidised credit insurance to exporters? Exports that fall into this category of ECIS are uninsurable credit risks or risks that are only insurable at enormous cost. If the Government offers export credit insurance to Iran at low cost, what benefits to the national economy are thereby obtained and to whom to these benefits accrue? 602 In the specific case of beef, which is a product covered by EC intervention arrangements, the benefit to the national economy secured through having export credit insurance subsidies can be no greater than the excess of the Iranian price, inclusive of EC export refunds, and the floor price available in Europe. The exporter does not require State subsidised ECIS to get the floor price available in Europe. For example, if we take it that the Iranian price is £120 per tonne and the European floor price is £100 per tonne, it follows that the benefit to the national economy cannot exceed £20. In fact, it will be less than that because transport and other costs have to be taken into account. Therefore it is misleading [602] of the Government to argue by way of reference to gross value of exports to third countries achieved as a result of export credit insurance since this greatly exaggerates the national economic benefit of such schemes. There may be an impact on the trading margins of the exporting companies which would be likely to improve their profitability but in economic terms that is not the same as increasing output or employment. In the case of commodity-type food exports, these are constrained by, for example, the availability of domestic supply. We saw the recent dramatic example of beef being sourced outside the State to fill contracts and the Irish taxpayer taking the full risk for UK suppliers. This must not be allowed to happen again. The cost of providing export credit insurance is not immediately apparent. The State incurs a risk which may not be easy to quantify and charges a premium which everyone knows to be less than the commercial market would seek. In principle, the cost of an export credit insurance scheme is equal to the level of premiums which a commercial insurer would charge, less the amounts actually charged. Has the Government established what the London premium would be to cover these contracts, and if the London market is not quoting for such contracts at the moment, why does the Government consider it wise to reintroduce such cover given the extent of risk to the Irish taxpayer. Minister for Tourism and Trade (Mr. McCreevy) Charlie McCreevy Minister for Tourism and Trade (Mr. McCreevy): I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. I believe the House is the appropriate place to set out the facts. This issue has been bandied about in the media in the past couple of weeks, giving rise to a misconception which I would like to clear up. There has been much talk about the restoration of export credit insurance cover for Iran. We have not been off cover for Iran. Therefore, the question of restoration does not arise. 603 In the past few years the Iranian market has been closed to sales of Irish [603] beef. This was because of the BSE scare. We were satisfied that there was no BSE risk in so far as our beef was concerned, but I suppose the Iranians were being extra careful and did not distinguish between us and other countries. We made many attempts at ministerial and official levels to persuade the Iranians that Irish beef carried no health risk. These efforts have only recently succeeded and this led to a number of applications being made to my Department for export credit insurance. It was clear that these exports would be of tremendous benefit to Ireland. We had just reopened the market and it was obviously important that success on the veterinary issues should be followed up by sales which would prove our contention that our beef is safe. 604 There was also the attraction that the exports were of boneless beef, far more beneficial than the export of live animals or the putting of beef into intervention. However, the provision of cover for this beef would also increase our exposure on the market. I had to balance this against the possible downside. We had reports of [604] some difficulties in the market. I decided that the best course would be to take the matter to Government, given that the issues were of concern to many of my ministerial colleagues. As the Deputy is no doubt aware, the Government considered the issue today and decided on the terms which should be offered to exporters. I believe what is on offered to exporters is realistic but not overgenerous in the current circumstances of the market. The terms would be more onerous than when beef was last exported to Iran but I think it appropriate that the sector should carry a fair proportion of the risk. My Department is advising the companies concerned of the terms. An Leas-Cheann Comhairle Joe Jacob An Leas-Cheann Comhairle: Deputies Andrew Boylan and Tony Gregory were selected to raise matters on the Adjournment but the Deputies subsequently withdrew their matters at the request of the Minister for Education who is indisposed. The Dáil adjourned at 4.10 p.m. until 2.30 p.m. on Tuesday, 12 October 1993. Dáil Éireann 434 Adjournment Debate. Export Credit Insurance. General Debate 19931007 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Au is the worst currency to short, I am losing patience with this always lagging behind
Below 1.3163, and we should see it 1.2967…
oh yeah…AU is the worst currency to short because you have to pay like 3 pip of swap fee everyday.
1.3163 now….. I think it;s just a spike for today. Good for a quick scalp-bounce-long.
lets see if 1.3105 will hold on the sharp reversal this afternoon
Eur/usd about to head into the abyss…….lots of fear out there over the wknd…..the korean issue is really getting serious so I hear! Flight to safety!

I'd like to get a photocell or timer for my garage lights. I'm not sure what to go with but from what I've found there is a screw in photocell that has a 2, 5 and 8 hour timer. Sounds great but there could be issues with the sensitivity of the unit working properly. I then found a digital timer I could hardwire at the switch location inside the garage. My question is whether you believe the timer or photocell will leak more electricity and furthermore does either have any type of risk as far as overheating, life of the wiring, etc? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Assuming in FRONT of the garage if it is phototimed? I replaced my back deck light with the phototimer and love it, it automatically comes on in the evening for 6 hours and there is a manual override if we wanted it longer. The nice thing about a photocell is that it automatically adjusts for the changing time of sunset which a regular timer would not do. |

Duchess: A Novel of Sarah Churchill
Praise and Reviews
Named a Book Sense Notable Book for August, 2006 by the American Booksellers Association.
Named an Editor's Choice title, Historical Novels Review
"Sarah Jennings's ascent from poverty as a 13-year-old to the highest echelons of late 17th- and early 18th-century English society has all the trappings of supermarket tabloids: intrigue, treachery, deceit and sexual scandals. In this first-person telling, Scott takes a near-scholarly approach but maintains the thrills as Sarah and her equally ambitious husband, John Churchill, risk charges of treason (and thus, their necks) to ensure the crown for Anne Stuart. Sarah and John become the ultimate power couple: she gets her way, her riches and her title nearly without sacrificing her own principles, while John, despite his personal ambition, seeks the best for his family and country, becoming England's greatest military hero. If each is a bit too good to be true, that is a hazard of the first person and is easy to overlook with two such interesting and able characters. That Sarah is an ancestor of both Winston Churchill and Lady Diana Spencer gives this novel appeal to several generations of historical fiction readers."
--Publishers Weekly
"To some, being maid of honor to the heir's wife might seem like the ultimate in luxury and influence. For Sarah Jennings, whose family has been left penniless by war, it is the very opposite of a secure and comfortable position. Instead, she and her beloved John Churchill struggle to weather the political and religious storms that wash over the household of James II of England. These two commoners, who rose to become the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, know the tenuous and dangerous nature of such seeming security and how far the fall from favor can be. Prolific historical novelist Scott's elegantly crafted story of two charismatic soul mates who gave up the chance to marry others, preferring wealth and advancement, is sure to appeal to lovers of good historical fiction."
--Library Journal
"No dry dust of history here, but a vivid portrait of an intriguing woman with all her flaws and strengths. Rich in period detail, the novel also has all the ingredients necessary for a compelling read, conflict, suspense, intrigue, and the romance between Sarah and John Churchill, one of history's great love stories."
--Susan Carroll, author of The Silver Rose
"Compelling; it grips the reader from the very first sentence and never lets go. Scott does a wonderful job of bringing Lady Sarah and her world to life."
--Jeanne Kalogridis, author of I, Mona Lisa and The Borgia Bride
"As wickedly entertaining as Sarah Churchill herself, DUCHESS tells the tale of the girl who was born a commoner, yet became the first Duchess of Marlborough and the richest woman in England.- Scott bring Sarah blazingly alive in all her sharp-edged beauty and determination.- Not to be missed!"
--Mary Jo Putney, author of The Marriage Spell
"Susan Holloway Scott has brought to life the racy world of post-Restoration England in her richly researched and beautifully written DUCHESS."
--Karen Harper, author of The Last Boleyn
"With bold strokes and bright historical details, Scott tells the fascinating story of a daring, charismatic and ambitious woman. Sarah grabs life with both hands and goes after what she wants with verve. In the end, she founded a political dynasty that gave us Sir Winston Churchill and Lady Diana. Kudos to Scott for bringing her to us."
"This wonderful fictional biography of Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, whisks the reader into a period rife with intrigue, love, sex, war and religious strife. Told through Sarah's eyes, Duchess follows her life from her first days at court in the 1670s until her return from exile just before the death of Queen Anne in 1714.
"There are so many reasons to recommend this book, from its myriad believable characters, ably drawn setting, polished and fluent prose, to its ability to totally immerse the reader in the past. We watch Sarah grow from a young woman of ambition and inner strength to a political and social leader at Queen Anne's court. But her success doesn't come without sacrifice, petty rivalry or danger, especially when she and her husband, John, throw their support behind the rebellion against James II. The reader experiences it all in glorious detail.
Scott's in-depth research is clear from her setting and plot, yet she doesn't overwhelm the reader with minutiae; her clear prose evokes the language of the period without falling into the realms of gadzookery. Readers will also find that the story moves along at a fine pace. Sarah recounts those events of most importance to her, and it is interesting to note how she moves through time more quickly as her relationship with Anne begins to crumble.
What ties this book together, though, is the love match between Sarah and John. Despite many separations due to his military career and their somewhat divergent views on politics and child-raising, the reader never doubts the depth of their love and the strength it gives them, both individually and as a couple.
"Readers looking for a true escape into the past will want to add this book to their collection and their keeper shelf."

TUESDAY'S Federal Budget looms as a last roll of the dice in the bid to save Hamilton's National Centre for Farmer Health from certain closure.
The globally successful centre's future has been in limbo since the State Government axed $1 million in yearly funding in its May 2012 Budget.
As work progresses on the centre's two remaining health and wellbeing programs in drought-stricken Queensland, it was dealt another severe blow this week when the NCFH was again overlooked by the Napthine Government in its 2014-15 Budget.
Western Districts Health Service chief executive officer, Jim Fletcher described the latest snub as "dire and devastating".
"The Commonwealth Budget next week is really our last glimmer of hope," a candid Mr Fletcher said.
"In terms of a State Government commitment, we've made no progress.
"Next Tuesday is it, if there is no funding forthcoming from the Commonwealth Government that is the death-knell of the National Centre."

FAST Series Prepares to Heat Up The Winter With 2nd Annual Racer's Chili Challenge
Friday, 08 January 2010
By Bryan Autullo - FAST Public Relations
(Maumee, OH)
Plans are underway for the "2nd Annual Racer's Chili Challenge" and race teams and fans should mark Saturday, February 20th on their calendars. This year's event will be held in Fremont, Ohio once again, but this time at the Ballville Township Community Hall located at 1413 East Cole Road (across from the fire station). The Kistler Racing Products Fremont/ Attica Sprint Title (F.A.S.T.) organization will once again be heading up the planning of the chili cook-off along with the help of the Hoserville Ohio gang and several other generous volunteers. This event was established to bring fans, teams, promoters & drivers together in the off-season for some good fun, great chili, and a little bit of bench racing before the green flags wave once again at Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway in 2010.
The doors will open to the public at 1 p.m. and general admission is just $5.00 at the door. Children 12 & under will be admitted free with a paid adult. Admission includes a sample cup and spoon to taste each team's chili creation. Be sure to visit your favorite team's booth often and vote for them as "The People's Choice" award.
"The Inaugural Racer's Chili Challenge was a big success," says F.A.S.T. co-founder Bryan Autullo. "There were about 22 entries last year in 4 different categories and a lot of really great chili was consumed by the large crowd that showed up on a cold and snowy winter day." Last winter's celebrity judges (Brad Doty, Kenny Jacobs, Jim Linder, and Darl Harrison) voted the WFIN radio "Racing World" team as the "Grand Champion" and fans came from as far away as Western Pennsylvania to sample the chili, mingle with the Fremont & Attica drivers and the local racing legends throughout the afternoon. "We're sticking to pretty much the same formula for 2010," Autullo added. "We're going to do a few things differently, but for the most part it will be the same recipe for a good time that we cooked up in 2009. We'll have celebrity judges, games for the kids, a driver autograph session, and a couple of show cars this February."
Celebrity judges will once again determine the best chili in each of the three divisions (Sprint Cars, Late Models/ Dirt Trucks & Fans/Media) and the winning team will receive a chili pot trophy and prize packs from Fremont Speedway, Attica Raceway Park, the F.A.S.T Series, and Hoserville Ohio. "The People's Choice" chili will be voted on by the general public and the winner will receive the Grand Champion chili pot trophy and their choice of either a $100 gift certificate to Kistler Racing Products or $100 cash.
Scott Porter, co-founder of the F.A.S.T. organization commented, "We're also bringing back the KS Sales & Service Hot Head Jalapeño Eating Contest and thanks to Kevin Shammo we're doubling the prize money to $100 for the winner. This event was the highlight last year as Jason Tomczyk consumed 15 peppers in five minutes, while the event left several other contestants in tears." Another event returning is the Rock-Paper-Scissors Tournament for the kids (17 & under) presented by Computer Man, Inc. of Fremont, Ohio. New in 2010 will be a beanbag tournament presented by Hoserville Ohio - a charity organization that helps injured drivers with their medical expenses. Registration for the tournaments will take place the day of the event.
Updates about the 2nd Annual Racer's Chili Challenge will be posted at www.fastondirt.com and can be heard on "The Last Lap FASTcast" on Wednesday nights leading up to the event at www.lastlaplive.com or www.dirtvision.com.
Here's How To Enter Your Team Into The 2010 Racer's Chili Challenge:
Entry into the 2nd Annual Racer's Chili Challenge is FREE and teams will consist of two team members.Team members will be admitted for free to the event. There will be three divisions this year in which you can enter: Sprint Cars (410s/305s), Late Models/Dirt Trucks, and Fans/Media.
The Racer's Chili Challenge fliers/entry forms are available to download at the official web site of the F.A.S.T. Series (www.fastondirt.com) and will also be available at Kistler Engines & Kistler Racing Products starting this Saturday, January 9th at their annual open house event.
