Why Earth is Special
Earth has Two Sisters within the Solar System, both which probably, at their protoplanet stage were the same as us.
We begin with Mars. Mars had a terrible fault. Firstly, it was the smallest of the Three, and secondly, it was the furthest away from the Sun. The evidence shows that Mars had an atmosphere, had weather, and had water, and then something went wrong.
It was too cold. It went cold, and the core Froze. The core was really important because a hot spinning metalic core creates a magnetic shield around the planet. No hot core, and the magnetic shield collapses, and when that happens the solar winds can rip the whole atmoshphere away, and then everything is lost to space.
Venus went the opposite way. It was the same size as Earth but it got to hot. It had an atmosphere, but due to being just slightly closer to the sun, the oceans evaporated, and it never got cold enough to rain. This was fine until the heat caused the core to speed up and get hotter, and the surface opened up like boils with lots of volcano. The dust went up...and there was no rain to wash it away. Rather then cooling the planet, the dust actually insulated the planet...it got so warm and such a heavy atmosphere, it crushed anything it had under too much pressure.
But Earth was the correct size to keep its atmosphere, the correct tempriture, retained a molten core, kept its magnetic shield...et voila
Other interests....Io...Jupiters closest moon, which is frozen...or at least has no hot core...but is so close to jupiter and is caught between Jupiters gravity and the other moons, that it actually physically changes shape during the Orbit, causing tares which of course get hot...its the most volcanically active place in the known universe....and two Moons away from it, a Frozen moon, which is far enough to stay frozen, but still splits and cracks when Jupiter makes it change shape...It has a solid core...and a liquid ocean of water under the ice (kept warm by Jupiter...but not warm enough to end up like Io) they think that the sort of bacterial shyte around the volcanic vents in our oceans could live their...of course...with a solid core...there might not be any vents...but the oceans are deeper then ours...and to the best of our knowledge there is no land...its an ocean moon.
All this stuff about Mars having an atmosphere really cannot be proven. It's a nice little science fiction story, but we simply don't know enough about Mars to say for a fact that it ever had an atmosphere.
Do you really believe that scientists, who reject even the possibility of GOD, can properly examine the evidence presented to them about our universe? Either they subconsciously (or consciously) twist the facts to fit their own personal worldviews, or they simply misinterpret the evidence because they have left out the most important part of the equation: GOD.
just think how awesome earth was when we had a firmament
if you want to study something tyburn, you should study the pre-firmament theories, they are very interesting
i have saw research that suggest the firmament was a literal frozen water forcefield around the earth. This caused the barometric pressure to be better and the oxygen to be better for humans. Theoretically in these conditions a man could run forever and never get tired. He would have more oxygen in the air and the blood cells would have the ability to absord and deliver the oxygen due to the correct barometric pressure. Scientists have discovered the effects of increased oxygen and barometric pressure and how it rapidly speeds up healing and such, they have developed hyperbaric chambers, used mostly now for treatment of burns and the bends. Increased oxygen means increased healing.
if you think about it, it would make sense that God created us in perfect form, we would have never got tired. Possibly never slept. But running and never running out of breath or cells running out of oxygen. Same theory as atheletes inhaling oxygen on the sidelines, just multiplied exponentially, and also adding the fact that correct pressure would allow the cells to absorb and deliver efficiently.
The sky would have been pink, because the ice firmament would have refracted differently the light coming through. Which scientists say pink is a much more soothing color and actually increases the ammounts of seratonin the brain produces which is would reduce anxiety and depression at the same time.
If you ever wondered why people lived to 900 years old, you could believe it in firmament times.
No rain, the atmosphere would have been different, causing a mist, not a fog.
Maybe people wouldn't have even sweated or gotten dehydrated.
As mma fans we know how pressure changes fighters endurance, just imagine a global optimal pressure and oxygen level.
I know this is theory, but no more theoretical than anything coming out of scientists mouths today. It takes me less faith to believe this than most of what they say.
One thing for sure, the world is waxing old....... not evolving.
When noahs flood came and God destoyed the firmament. And it came crashing to earth melting it would have easily covered the earth in water, quickly. Which by the way there is a point 11 miles up which is the perfect tempearture to support a firmament, below freezing yet close enough to the surface of the earth to do something. Also remember the people in noahs time had never seen rain and that noah's ark was not boat shaped, it was coffin shaped.
Anyways, i subscribe to the theory that it was one supercontinent, pangea.
And if you could imagine all that water coming to rest on top of the land, then the land attempting to float, it would have easily busted The Continent into 7 pieces, which are our continents today. Then as the land shifted and water drained off the land, imagine the silt that water would have moved, and the amount of land it would have cut away. Imagine the pressure all that water would have created on the land, causing it to turn to rock in a short period of time. Imagine all the life that would have been washed into small areas, possibly something to do with making our oil reserves.
well i kinda rambled didn't i?
The seasons would have been drastically different, possibly having no seasons, because the firmament would have crfeated a real greenhouse effect. And if we were one continent, we would have been ideally placed, not in the extremes like the poles.
I believe that Science is the Glorification of GOD in Creation, thats what I believe. Science endevours to uncover truth...sooner or later they will arrive at GOD because he is Truth. What I dont do, like you, is demonize everything, because of a few doubting individuals, and therefore write off the whole sherbang.
A lot of scientists ARE Christian...some even became Christian BECAUSE of seeing how impossible it is to get an ordered Universe like all the facts show, without design. Unlike yourself, I view all the facts for myself, and make my own decision, that means looking at Science...the first and early scientists who uncovered all the laws about physics were Christian...and they got in to trouble because they showed how GOD can not be contained anymore by religious dogma...like the one you follow for example about the age of the Earth which is based on nothing more then the thoughts of an abstract following of a lineage as much symbolic in specific amounts of time, as it is in reality...thats nothing but someones world view, and silly church dogma....then it can be contained by a pure Enlightenment view that the universe some how managed to use these laws of science to come to what it has by pure statistical chance....neither are very clever Nathan.
So I examine things myself and say what I think. GOD designed the Earth to such a degree its a statistic impossibility without him being most precise...the signs are all there...we can see what happens when planets like are own are just a tiny bit further away, or a tiny bit closer...GOD is demonstrating to us that the Earth being just right, is not a matter of cooincidence...its a matter of design to an almost silly statistical point.
Anyone seeing this should think...what are the possibilities of that without some greater force. THAT is the whole idea, that you can use these signs to discover a GOD even if you are not Christian...you have to bloody go through creation with your eyes shut not to see that things were MADE, they didnt just happen. Ever ask yourself why the leaves if Trees in Autumn look so beautiful?? Whats the point in that?? Beauty for beauties sake??? There is no reason why these things need to be so beautiful...and if you say its all about the structure of the dying leaf...Id ask why that structure, those building block, would just happen to form by chance to look so visually stunning...and the fact this happens so often makes it stupid to think that its not deliberately planned...is their any need for gases in a void to glow pink and green and white?? Why should the most dull of things shine so bright...the study of Science can only ultimately lead to something beyond the rules it uses by the sheer volume of examples.
But you are as bad as those who burry their head in the rules of science, by your inability to leave your own indoctrinated world view, and see that GOD is bigger then you, and Bigger then the Church...and infact bigger then Christianity and can use any tool he wants to show himself off to the world...even if they refuse to see whats really there.
They write you off as religious nutcases because you are as closed minded as those who said the world is flat, once thought to be a RELIGIOUS truth. You write them off because one or two of the loudest voices proclaim the rules above the rule maker. The two of you will never find GOD who stands between you and links you both indellably together, by virtue of the fact that he Created everything you lot are fighting over the details of.
So Scientifically Mars probably did have an atmosphere, and I outlined a way the laws of science, which were created by GOD, could lead to its demise, and I use that as a good illustration of how GOD is reaching out to those who care enough to examine it, in his own brand of Evengelism, that doesnt involve, and doesnt need you, to say to those who look into the sky "I created far more then the earth, look and see how special my Earth is by seeing all the case studies of what the Earth could have been like if I had not taken special care of its creation and moulded those very laws I created to get what I wanted at a stupid rate of probability, and try and deny that there is something guiding these laws I have revealed to you." They will seek...and they will find....and When they do...IMHO they will have an easier relationship with GOD because it wont be hindered by Church Dogma. Which is actually everything in this scenario that you represent, even though your pet hate is dogma...posts like you made make you a stumbling block to Scientists rather then an aid to get them to the point where their own findings are screaming the name of GOD to them.
It has been suggested that when the Solar System was setting itself up, Jupiter at one point accidently reflected another gas Giant by virtue of Gravity almost out of the system. This Gas Giant smashed into a ring of debrie around the system which was what was left of the formation of the planets, the result was to send comets of Ice ping ponging around the system.
It is thought that until that point, that the Water cycle was geared towards a cycle of Methane...which is what some other planets were left with, but that the Bombardment brought lots of commets our way that impacted, and as they hit us, the speed melted them into water. It is the idea that the water in our oceans is melted Commets. What that would have done of course is send a lot of ice and shyte into the Atmosphere for a long time...like a nuclear winter, but one built of Ice and not ash...thus letting in the light rather then shutting it out...but still thousands of ice crystals in the atmosphere for ever until they finally fall to earth.
Does that sound like a possible way for the Firmament to have been created and then over time dissapear?
I discovered that theory LAST NIGHT and see how well it ties in with your preposition today what a Cooincidence
I understand that there are a lot of scientists who believe in GOD out there, I've bought several books written by them; but you are fooling yourself if you think they are allowed to freely express their faith in GOD without repercussions from the scientific community.
The change to the earth's atmosphere would have happened after the Flood described in Genesis. It would have been very sudden and it's where all the water needed to cover the earth completely would have come from. If you pay attention to the lifespans listed in the geneologies of Genesis, you will see people living 800-900 years pre-Flood, then those lifespans would begin to drop off after the Flood until Abraham's time - when the human lifespan was pretty similar to what it is today.
2) I never claimed anything about repuccusions. I never mentioned Repuccussions. I simply said there are some Scientists who are Christian, so dont write everything scientific off.
I'm not writing off anything scientific. I love science and I study it every chance I get. I simply get annoyed with people, especially Christians, who try to use it as a substitute for GOD. Not only does that misrepresent science, but it defames GOD.
Failing to glorify GOD in all things, including creation, is one of the ultimate sins that anyone can commit. So, if you view the natural world and fail to give 100% of the glory for that world to GOD, then you are living in open rebellion to the Creator of the universe.
Keep that in mind the next time you wonder why GOD doesn't seem to be answering your prayers or rescuing you from certain sins that you might struggle with.
2) There are many theories about the Deluge, about what caused it and about how it physically happened.
One theory is about a Glacial melt at the end of the Ice Age...the times approximately correct. Another theory might be the distruction of the Fermament. We DO know two things...the Deluge is not just a Biblical Reference or a theory...its a known Historical Fact according to ALL the Civilizations on the planet around at the time. Secondly we DO know that slight changes in the environment can have an impact world wide. An Earthquake can effect the earths orbit, a Volcano can bring down the average world tempriture for a decade...so anything causing that amount of flooding could have been triggered by a relatively small event...ONE Volcano called Santorini is all GOD needed to bring all the plagues to Egypt AND to momentarily dry up the entire Red Sea...we may not be looking at something as large as a Glacial Melt or a Fermament Collapse to explain the deluge...but we also know that changes on that scale, or even less can change life on the planet. So however GOD did it...we can all aggree that Things before the Deluge and things After the Deluge were as if Earth were two different Planets ecologically speaking.

This time we'll discuss Frederick Taylor's Germany's Hyperinflation and the Destruction of the Middle Class.
A hundred years ago, many theorists believed—just as they did at the beginning of our twenty-first century—that the world had reached a state of economic perfection, a never before seen human interdependence that would lead to universal growth and prosperity. Then, as now, the German mark was one of the most trusted currencies in the world. Yet the early years of the Weimar Republic in Germany witnessed the most calamitous meltdown of a developed economy in modern times. The Downfall of Money will tell anew the dramatic story of the hyperinflation that saw the mark—worth 4.2 to the dollar in 1914—plunge until it traded at over 4 trillion to 1 by the autumn of 1923.
The story of the Weimar Republic's financial crisis clearly resonates today, when the world is again anxious about what money is, what it means, and how we can judge if its value is true. It is a trajectory of events uncomfortably relevant for our own uncertain world.
Frederick Taylor—one of the leading historians of Germany writing today— explores the causes of the crisis and what the collapse meant to ordinary people and traces its connection to the dark decades that followed. Drawing on a wide range of sources and accessibly presenting vast amounts of research, The Downfall of Money is a timely and chilling exploration of a haunting episode in history.

According to one study, 72 percent of all recently emerged zoonotic pathogens have come from wildlife.everything from Ebola and Marburg and the HIVs and the influenzas to West Nile virus, monkeypox, and the SARS bug.
We are interacting with wild animals and disrupting the ecosystems they inhabit to an unprecedented degree.emerging into the human population within recent decades: Machupo (1961), Marburg (1967), Lassa (1969), Ebola (1976), HIV-1 (inferred in 1981, first isolated in 1983), HIV-2 (1986), Sin Nombre (the first-recognized American hantavirus, 1993), Hendra (1994), the strain of influenza called "avian flu" (1997), Nipah (1998), West Nile (1999), SARS (2003), and others. These are not independent events. They are parts of a pattern. They reflect things that we're doing, not just things that are happening to us.
Evolution seizes opportunity, explores possibilities, and helps convert spillovers to pandemics.industries, new cities. We bring in our domesticated animals, replacing the wild herbivores with livestock. We multiply our livestock as we've multiplied ourselves, operating huge factory-scale operations such as the piggeries in Malaysia, into which Nipah virus fell from the bats feeding in fruit trees planted nearby, after the bats' native forest habitats had been destroyed. We export and import livestock across great distances and at high speeds. We export and import other live animals, especially primates, for medical research. We export and import animal skins, exotic pets, contraband bushmeat, and plants, some of which carry secret microbial passengers.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (558 votes).
In short: this race claims to be flat by runners world. well i,m sorry but this is the most hillyest /1Date of review: March 7, 2010
In short: The move from the OU campus doesn't seem to be a good ideaIn full: Third time running the event. the move from OU has changed the event for the worseOrganisation was poor- bad directions to toilets baggage- baggage area was poor. Took my stuff back to the car- the start was poorly organised. A scramble for the first 2-3 miles. Also the 10K people were getting trampled at the head of the course- Course was o.k.- No goody bag. No sign of any sports drink any food any goody bagPlease get back to the OU days for next yearDate of review: March 7, 2010
In short: Marshalling great, course well signed start/finish area orginisation awfulIn full: Positives first. Marshalling was great, plentiful and pleasent. The course was nice and scenic even with a nasty last hill and with the new start/finish location was easy to get to. Now by whinges. Bag drop off and pick up, what a diaster. Not the fault of the people working it but wow was the organisatin bad. The signs to bag drop off were misleading and ended up with queues for the toilet and drop-off being confused and merged. One person seemed to be working the drop off, could have done with at least a few more and also some one to organise queues. Bag pick up was worse. I finished fairly early but after waiting for a friend to cross the line at 1:45 pace, so not slow at all, I headed to get the bag. It took over an hour of queueing to retrieve it. With drop-off added in it took me longer to do that than run the race. Some water was brought to the queue which was a great idea and greatly appreciated. Unfortunately voulnteers were getting a hard time from runners, which in turn led to them being a bit stressed with runners so tension was high.Finish are was disappointing too. a bottle of water was the only refreshment on offer, no food at all and no goodie bag. With my wallet in my bag I couldn't even buy something to keep me going while I waited.The Start for me was just a mess. Could not hear announcer and why did 10k start at same time as half marathon? No corraling of any sort casued the first 5km (at least) to be hugely over congested for runners trying to get a faster time. I like the idea of this becoming a big event with multiple distances but pardon the pun, walk before you run. Sort out the organisation as this is a good event and course that was tarnished by bad pre/post race events. Date of review: March 7, 2010
Date of review: March 7, 2010
In short: To many races starting at once.In full: Last years MK half was my first ever half marathon and, having done several since, I have never bettered the time so I had high hopes of a PB on this one. I was interested in how this years would be run as it was starting from a different area. When I got there it seemed very unorganised and many runners entered in to different length races, all in the same area wandering around trying to work out what was going on. Luckily I my starting position was near a PA speaker so I could hear what was going on but can understand people complaining about not being able to hear it as it had just been a distant drone until I climbed into the starting pen. The 10k runners started before the half marathon that meant once we started we caught up with a large majority of the 10k runners and that created a bit of a bottle neck. Having said that I did get my PB and will be entering again next year.Date of review: March 7, 2010
In short: a good pb course. and good marselling around the route.In full: i did not like how the 10k runners started ahead of the half marathon runners.they should have started the 10k at the back of half marathon runners. and they would have finish before us.Date of review: March 7, 2010
In short: Good race - shame about the start organisationIn full: The start needs sorting - better PA and target times to split runners out. The rest of the race was fine but surely Nike could have sorted out some decent goody bags?Date of review: March 7, 2010
In short: expected better from the new "Festival of Running"In full: organisation was poor right from getting the race packs 3 days before the start and then having to collect the pre ordered T shirt on the day due to supplies, down to the lack of signposting or information at the start and finish, the ridiculous baggage area arrangements and the public address system that couldn't be heard. raced this a couple of times before when it was at the Open University and feel that they did a far better job of organising - weather was great though and I got myself a PB - sorry organisers you dont get the credit for that. all said and done will probably be back next year as it's only down the road. Date of review: March 7, 2010
In short: Need to sharpen up organisation at the start.In full: The PA system was unaudable over the runners chit chat but there appeard to be instructions about the 10k runners, but nobody had any idea what was going on. The first 2 to 3 miles was congested with many slower runners forming lines abreast which made progress difficult through the pack. Mixed route of roads and tracks was better than i'd expected! Where were all the roundabouts?? Water stations were well maned with nice size bottles.A goodie bag would have been nice at the end!Potential to be much betterwith only a few tweeks!Date of review: March 7, 2010
In short: Terrible start, awful first mile, have signs up for predicted finishing times and why start on the narrowest of narrow bridges? Felt for those runners who had kit nicked, lots of potential so step up and make it a premium eventt .Date of review: May 4, 2009

"No one has ever become poor by giving. "
Daymond John
When he launched his FUBU clothing line in 1992, Daymond John was a 23-year-old waiter and taxi driver with no college education, no business training, no manufacturing operation, no contracts with retailers and no money to speak of.
He had plenty of experience as a self-described hustler, though. John was in first or second grade when he began picking up dropped pencils around school, shaving off their identifiable designs and selling them back to his classmates for a quarter each. By age 10, he'd started selling things he'd found in dumpsters and repairing and selling bicycles that people had left out with the trash.
"There was one hustle after another," he wrote in his remarkably candid 2007 book Display of Power. "Most of them were on the straight side of legit."
But not all. For example, he passed bogus $20 bills and participated in some "stolen car deals," though he didn't do the stealing himself. When he was about 12, also, he worked at a summer camp where he did steal: he'd lift items from one group of campers and sell them to the next group. "It wasn't exactly my shining hour," he wrote in his book.
Finally, John tired of all the scams and began "paying attention to the person I was becoming, the choices I was making." That's when he took a job waiting tables at Red Lobster. He also bought a van and, in the early mornings and evenings,gave rides to commuters for extra cash.
On weekends and days off, meanwhile, he hung out and sometimes toured with the hip-hop and rap stars who were emerging from his Queens, New York neighborhood. "They would need people to get sandwiches or push speakers around or carry their dirty drawers," John told me when we met. "I didn't consider that work. As far as I was concerned, I was hanging out with musical gods."
Perhaps seeking to emulate his idols, John went shopping one day for a hat he'd seen in a hip-hop video. When he found it, though, he deemed it overpriced and poorly constructed. So he decided to make his own. And that marked the beginning of FUBU, whose name means "For Us By Us."
The business—which initially sold only hats and then expanded into everything from belts and shoes to eyewear and suits—was by no means an overnight success. During its first couple of years, John made every hat himself, sewed on his label and shipped out the merchandise, all between shifts at Red Lobster. Business improved a bit after he teamed up with three partners, but it took nine years, three near-collapses and a $100,000 mortgage loan on John's mother's house before FUBU really hit its stride. In the end, he obtained merchandising contracts with J.C. Penney, Macy's and the National Basketball Association and a distribution deal with Samsung. In 1998, annual revenues reached $350 million; total sales now exceed $6 billion.
As for FUBU's founder, he travels today by private jet, maintains offices on the 66th floor of New York's Empire State Building and has a net worth that has been estimated at $100 million. These days, in addition to overseeing his clothing line, he owns and invests in a wide variety of other businesses, including some in the health/fitness and technology fields. And he is in his fourth season of starring on ABC-TV's Shark Tank, where budding entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to him and such other venture capitalists as Mark Cuban.
Not bad for a guy who started out hawking $10 hats on the street.
What were you like as a kid?
I was a normal kid who was too smart for his own good and thought he knew everything. I decided not to go to college because I had to help support the house but I thought I was going to be rich no matter what. I took [what I thought would be] one year off [before starting] college. Then before I knew it, I was 21 years old, working in Red Lobster. All my friends who went to college were coming back and I'm serving them shrimp and I'm embarrassed.
And then you went shopping for a hat.
I was looking for one hat for myself. I drove all around and finally went all the way uptown in Manhattan and found a place that sold it.
But it cost too much?
I figured, "I can make these myself." I didn't make them for the purpose of selling them. But when I bought a nice sheet of fabric and made them, I said, "I can't wear all these hats." There were like 40 or 50 of them. I said, "Let me try and sell a couple." And those things flew like hotcakes.
Right on the street?
Right on the street. The Friday before Easter Sunday, 1989, I sold $800 worth in Queens. I remember driving back and counting the money and—
I was about to ask you about that story, about how you were counting the money as you drove and you hit another car and the repair cost $800—exactly the amount you'd just made. When I've heard you tell that story, it has sounded as if you saw some sort of lesson in it.
No, just that a grown man could still cry. [But from the sales], I learned that I was able to create something with my own hands and sell it, and I was in charge of my own destiny.
So you started making hats and shirts and then you got rap and hip-hop artists to wear them in their videos. How'd you convince them to do that?
That happened after going on their tours for so many years. Once I was sitting on video sets all day, I would just offer [the clothes] to the guys to wear. And a few would. I ended up sitting on about 50 video sets and maybe about 20 times it worked. The other times, they just said, "We're not gonna wear it."
What was distinctive about your clothes?
The label was great—kind of cartoonish. Also, prior to FUBU, when you would buy urban or Afro-centric clothes, they normally came in the colors of kinte cloth—yellow, green, red or all three together. What I would wear would just be black with a navy blue or yellow [label]. A little loud still but it wasn't Afro-centric.
And you were aiming your clothes at a certain culture?
Yeah, and we found out the culture was way bigger than what we thought it was. It didn't have a color to it but we ended up finding out the culture [included] Japanese kids. The first couple of places the clothes sold were Japan and—
Yeah. It was the skateboarders, the grunge movement, the rockers. It was a form of rebellion.
You became successful around 1998?
Well, see, you're counting money as success. I don't think success is money. I think success is doing what you want to do every single day. The monetary part of the success didn't come till I was around 29. I had a freedom to do what I loved at 20 years old.
So what is it that you love to do?
I love the freedom to not be nailed down to a desk. I love seeing people get excited and helping people, looking at that sparkle in their eyes and seeing people unlock [ideas] while you're working with them. I love to develop brands—it's like doing a jigsaw puzzle. And I love to keep learning.
You've said that the rappers wearing your clothes in videos helped you launch FUBU. Do you think you could pull this business off today, now that music videos aren't so important?
I still [use video] with all my new brands but I've added reality shows to [the mix]. They've taken the place of soap operas. I worked with the Kardashians their first three years with one of my brands. So the vehicle's the same. Actually there's more opportunity out there.
Let's talk about Shark Tank. You've said you invest more in the entrepreneur than in the business idea. What makes a great entrepreneur?
I think a great entrepreneur is learning every day. An entrepreneur is somebody that doesn't take no for an answer—they're going to figure something out. They also take responsibility. They don't blame anybody else. And they're dreamers in one sense but they're also realistic and they take affordable steps when they can.
How many companies have you invested in on the show?
Maybe 25. Talbott Teas had the most success in the sense of immediate flip of money. I made half a million or a million dollars off of that. That's a one-time hit. A few of my other companies may be pushing off $200,000 a year for 10 years.
What have you learned from the show?
I learned that even though there are a lot of stupid and crazy people out there, you really don't know what will be the next Pet Rock. There's this guy who came on with this eyeglasses holder you attach to your shirt. Stupidest thing in the world. I'm calling the guy a bozo, I'm calling [fellow shark] Lori [Greiner] a bozo. But $3 million later with Lori…maybe it's not that stupid. Some of these people coming on the show, they're 18, 20 years old and they're showing me a whole other dynamic on how the world is working. It's fascinating.
Say Shark Tank had existed back when you got your first big orders for FUBU and you'd gone on the show pitching the business. Do you think the other sharks would have invested in it?
Yes. You see, sales cures all. Anybody that goes on there with sales has a shot at a deal. But if right before those sales I would have said to Shark Tank, "I have all these artists wearing my clothes but I have never made anything in my life besides a couple of hats and I don't have any financial intelligence," I probably wouldn't have made it past casting.
Has success changed you?
It's changed me in many, many ways. One thing about success is that you end up loving the people that work for you more. There's an inherent responsibility to people's families and careers. You have to take care of these people because they believed in you. Initially I was a very tough boss. Now I think I'm a marshmallow.
What caused that change?
In the years when my destiny wasn't fully laid out and I couldn't say that I would be wealthy forever or the brand would last, when people were doing things wrong I would take it as "you are jeopardizing my future and everybody else's." So I would fire them or whatever I had to do. But then I began to realize that people aren't really bad; they're just doing what they need to do to get by and you need to understand that. If you can embrace that part of them but still get what you need [you'll get good results]. Say, "I understand what you're going through. Just can you do this for me? We can do this together." Then you get way more. And you don't have a heavy turnover and people have a good time.
Any regrets?
I don't have any regrets but we'll be here all night if we talk about mistakes. I wish I had educated myself more initially because maybe that nine years of struggling would have been shortened. But maybe I needed that. Also, I had a divorce and lost my family due to traveling and getting sucked up in the life of business.
Are you less of a workaholic today?
Absolutely. Take time for your health, take a lot of time for your family. I've been around the world maybe three times and from around age 25 to 35, the whole world was purely an airport, a hotel, a conference room, a restaurant, maybe a club, and that was it. I never got to enjoy the world. Now I enjoy the world.
When did you first fly privately?
I purchased a jet around 1999. I remember it wasn't ready one day so I went to a [charter] service to get a jet and they sent me my [model] jet cheaper than I would have paid for the hours. So I stopped [owning] in 2002. After that, I've chartered maybe 20, 30 times a year.
Now you're exclusively using charter plus hopping rides with friends?
I fly commercial once in a while but I use Magellan Jets for the most part and also hop rides with friends. I have a jet card with Magellan. I tend to use the jets when I'm traveling with six or more people or I need to do four cities in a day.
How has flying privately helped your business?
I do a lot of speaking and with Shark Tank there are a lot of deals and negotiations and [I've saved] the time that I would be sitting in airports. And you do deals in the air. What would take me a week in a commercial flight would take me two days in a private jet. And now as Shark Tank gets more popular I tend to get stopped more [if I fly commercially] and it chews up a lot of time because the people that stop me are usually pitching businesses.
Tell me about your meeting with President Obama.
It was a fundraiser, his first time [running for president]. He turned around and somebody said, "This is the guy who started FUBU." He yelled out, "The greatest entrepreneur of our time!" I looked around. I didn't know who he was talking about. And then I was high on myself—and then I heard him say to someone else, "Ah, the greatest entrepreneur of our time!"
But what I love is that he always says this country is "for us, by us." I wouldn't say that it was because of me but, hey, a sitting president is using the acronym that I came up with in my basement! I'm going with that to the grave.

Guns are part of unperfect world
In response to the commentary "Gun law brings 'radical' thoughts" (Feb. 20), the writer makes some points that are his opinion and his right under the First Amendment. Driving autos is not part of our Constitution and is a privilege not a right. Driving rights can be taken away.
The Second Amendment is a right just as the First Amendment. The government would like to regulate the right to bear arms like they do driving. Just think of the fun they would have with imposing regulations, special permits, taxes, how many guns you can own, how much ammo you can possess. … Oh wait! They are doing most of that now. Regulations till there is nothing left.
As for confiscating and banning guns, it's already started. Just look at what state Gov. Andrew Cuomo has done to New York state. He has created criminals out of its citizens with this unjust gun ban. I have held a handgun permit since 1973 along with various shotguns and rifles and to me this is over the top. If they are not banning or confiscating, then what do you call it?
Men and women served their country to defend the rights of America and other countries. Many have died and been injured to uphold what so many of us take for granted. So why is it unheard of for these same men and women to stand up to defend America and its Constitution? No, it's not 1776 anymore, it is 2013 and much more scary now than it was then with much more violence, drugs and corruption with people who do not share our values on life and liberty. People who have no respect for your life, your home, or your children.
In a perfect world we would not need guns for protection but then again this is not a perfect world and never will be. You will always have people who are evil and will use any means to accomplish their agenda.
As for me, I wish to keep the Second Amendment as a deterrent against this type of society. We cannot take on the government with force and the people who are demonstrating peacefully understand this. This is why they are using their First Amendment rights
I am not writing this to create hard feelings with the writer, I am writing this as an American citizen and veteran of the U.S. Navy who served so that all people would have a right to their opinion. This is mine.
In 1776, there was the American Revolution. Look at what it accomplished.

Given her 18-year career as a psychiatrist, it's difficult to tell Dr. Sharon Martin anything that will leave her speechless. The exception? Finding out that she had been chosen as Mississippi College's 2013 Alumna of the Year.
"I was totally shocked," Dr. Martin says. "I told [my husband] Bobby to look at the envelope again, that I must have received the letter by mistake. It's rare that I'm speechless, but I was at that moment. I recognize what this award stands for and I am so honored to have received it."
Those who know Dr. Martin, however, were not surprised she was chosen for the honor. Her compassionate work on behalf of the mentally ill and their families, her faithful service to Mississippi College, and her devotion to her family embody the ideals upon which this highest honor is based.
As an admitting psychiatrist with the Mississippi State Hospital at Whitfield, Dr. Martin has spent nearly two decades treating mentally ill patients who have been deemed a danger to themselves or to others, or who are unable to care for themselves. She has witnessed terrible suffering on the parts of both the patients and their families, and has built her professional life around providing care for those who have nowhere else to turn. Rather than making her jaded or cynical, her work has made Dr. Martin more compassionate.
"When you talk to these people, their stories are compelling," Dr. Martin says. "Some really want help and they don't have anywhere else to get it."
Dr. Martin and her husband, oncologist Dr. Bobby Graham, met when they shared the same cadaver in an anatomy class at the University of Mississippi School of Medicine. Dr. Graham is an alumnus of Millsaps College, but the couple decided early on not to bring the Backyard Brawl into their own backyard. Both are loyal, generous supporters of MC, and regular sponsors of the annual spring scholarship banquet.
"We donate to things we believe in," Dr. Graham says. "I'm not an alumnus, but like Sharon, I believe in what MC stands for."
"We feel that helping young people attend MC who otherwise could not is an excellent investment," Dr. Martin says. "It's nice to have noted speakers come to MC for the banquet, but knowing that we're helping someone who might not otherwise have a chance to get a good education attend MC is the real reason we want to be involved."
Dr. Martin has strong family ties to Mississippi College. Her mother earned bachelor's, master's, and specialist's degrees at MC, and her father graduated from the Jackson School of Law, now MC Law. Dr. Martin and Dr. Graham's three sons are all MC alumni. Dr. Martin also served as a member of the MC board of trustees.
"The friendships between students and their teachers are one of the many positive things about MC. I know those relationships meant so much to me when I was a student there, and our sons continue to stay in touch with friends they met while at MC."
Dr. Sharon Martin
"If I had to describe MC in three words, I would choose 'friendship,' 'tradition,' and 'scholarship,'" Dr. Martin says. "Many friendships begin at MC and continue long after graduation. Those friends include not only peers, but also faculty. The friendships between students and their teachers are one of the many positive things about MC. I know those relationships meant so much to me when I was a student there, and our sons continue to stay in touch with friends they met while at MC.
"There are so many special traditions at MC, like the Follies at Homecoming, the Festival of Lights, and Santa and his elves giving out hot chocolate and cookies before winter exams," Dr. Martin continues. "It's reassuring to know that parts of college life are just going to be there year after year. And finally, MC is all about scholarship. I remember studying and cramming for exams, more than my share of late nights in the lab, and doing extra credit work. MC is challenging academically and I wouldn't want it any other way."
Even more than friendships, tradition, and scholarship, it's MC's vision as a university committed to the cause of Christ that brings the 2013 Alumna of the Year both pride and a sense of responsibility.
"I am humbled to think that people felt I was deserving of this award. I'll now work harder then ever to live up to the ideals of this Christian university on a daily basis," Dr. Martin says. "Mississippi College is obviously doing something right. She continues to grow and thrive. I believe that is because the people there, from the president on down, truly seek God's guidance for the college and He provides it."

Travelling for the old new wild world disorder :
The Global Financial Dictatorship (nwo) Vs. Islam iran syria and brics
Having coped with Libya, the West is ready to hunt down new victims, Syria and Iran being next on the hit list. The campaign against Syria runs into major roadblocks as the country's leader Bashar al-Assad offered the society a package of reforms which are indeed long overdue, while Russia and Iran prevented the UN Security Council from passing a resolution that could expose Syria to an intervention modeled on the one recently faced by Libya. As a result, the West's plans for Syria are being adjusted to current circumstances, and at the moment the West's bet is on destabilizing the country from within by combined efforts of the Western intelligence community, foreign mercenaries, and the local fifth column. A revolution was similarly attempted in Iran but met with well-organized resistance, and the international sanctions imposed on Iran may create certain problems but are not lethal to its economy. Moreover, the enforcement of "democracy†in Iraq and Libya had a sobering effect even on Iran's pro-western political forces. Yet, the impression is that at the moment the Western leaders simply cannot wait for new revolution opportunities to arise.
The collapse of the USSR, which, by the way, did not result from natural causes, made the world sway towards unipolarity, but it came into being in the form of an order completely different from what Anglo-Saxon geopolitical thinkers like Alfred Mahan, Halford John Mackinder, or Nicholas John Spykman used to dream of. Their expectation was that global dominance in the future world would stem from marine power, but it became clear instead at the dawn of the XXI century that the world is ruled by the groups running global finances. Those at the helm are a conglomerate of 147 interwoven kinships controlling the global financial sector and the emission of the US dollar, the latter being a mechanism of keeping national elites across the entire world on a short leash. The Rockefeller and Rothschild clans along with the Vatican are known to play the key roles in the shadowy authority network. In the early XX century, a secret convention of US financial operators held at a US island adopted the so-called Marburg Plan premised in the assumption that power was essentially an asset, but the costliest one and as such had to belong to the richest. The plan could not materialize as long as the USSR was in place and became completely realistic after its collapse. As of today, the keys to the international politics are in the hands of the global financial oligarchy with its network of financial centers, national and transnational banks, governance bodies like the IMF and the World Bank, research centers, and secret political headquarters, and with its own money-printing press officially titled the US Federal Reserve. The objectives of the global financial oligarchy, already accomplished or currently pursued, are:
• Setting money as the core value of human existence and the main value for nations and societies;
• Linking all national currencies, along with the national economies, to the US dollar;
• Inducing the transparency of national borders for financial flows, products, and services;
• Forming controllable "elites†that act in the interests of the global financial community and the dispatch of the "elites†to positions of authority worldwide;
• Achieving total control over individual and collective conduct in the economic and political spheres.
The arsenal of instruments employed by the global financial oligarchy is enormous and includes corruption, arranged bankruptcies, defamation, and terrorism along with the elimination of nation states and the unleashing of wars. The system as a whole, therefore, deserves to be regarded as a global financial dictatorship equipped with an ideology of fascism. The underlying formula of this type of rule is that everything is doable with money

County, City Leadership Can Return Jamestown To Previous Stature
To regain the Jamestown stature of years ago is a tall order, but not impossible.
In my opinion, it will take a significant effort, but will be well worth that effort. The probability of each step of success will be governed by the continuous passion of many locals. It will begin with the leadership of both the county and city in setting the tone. After their commitments, various assessments of capacities, limits and assets will be required. A lead individual and supporting cast will be necessary, ideally pulled from existing personnel. Much of this information is likely already housed in various city and county development agencies, but needs to be consolidated for easier use.
These assessments include the following arenas:
What are the remaining capacities of utilities to provide additional services, i.e. power, waste, water and communications?
What are the service area limitations of the above?
What tracts of land are available for development or redevelopment?
How does rezoning occur if necessary?
Ideally, where can industrial park(s) be located?
What are transportation availabilities and limitations?
What fire and security services are available and how can they be expanded if necessary?
What educational opportunities are available and how flexible are they to add new curriculum?
What cultural, recreation, entertainment, cuisine, sports and worship opportunities are available?
What local labor is available and with what skills?
What labor laws and traditions govern?
What local financing, if any, is available?
What housing is available – price, size, amenities and locations?
What concessions/inducements are possible?
What is the tax basis and rates?
What permits are required? What is the process? Who are the permitting agencies?
What certifications are required? What is the process? Who are the certifying agencies?
What is the process to obtain a C/O? Who are the agencies?
These assessments and projections are essential for a realistic and successful marketing campaign. It is always necessary to remember that you are in competition with other locations for entities to locate, expand and start up.
The support group needs to perform a concurrent assessment before a campaign to grow the area can begin. This assessment will be used to compile a list of candidate entities to contact. This list is arrived at by an analysis process of many sources to rank candidate entities by a perceived probability of a move to the county/city. The sources include financial journals, magazines and newspapers, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, credit agency reference books and networking. This ranking will be subjective and consider the following criteria:
Needs of the entity and the ability to fulfill them locally;
Impact on the local economy and environment;
Probability of local growth and longevity;
Financing source, credit rating and track record; and
In other words, who, what, when, where and why are they expanding and/or starting up? Outside consultation and academic help may be needed in the analysis process.
The marketing tools can now be created. They include:
A brochure for mailing;
A video for followup communication upon request; and
Advertising in financial journals, magazines and newspapers.
Personal networking phone calls from the county executive, mayor and other prominent locals are in order for certain initial calls and followups. It will also be vitally necessary to track the status of all advertising, contacts made and responses. This will provide for appropriate followup and annoying followups.
The brochure objective is to realistically portray the county/city story as: desire to grow; friendly to business; support facilities available; recreational opportunities available by season; educational opportunities (pre-k through college); key local cultural events (include LucyFest); contact information and concentric circles of population by distances from Jamestown. The 10- to 20-minute video followup, when requested, emphasizes the brochure in picture and audio/video form, highlighting a variety of scenes, including an aerial view from Chautauqua Lake.
The objective of all this preparatory work is to allow the county/city to be proactive to achieve growth rather than to rely on or hope for higher government to be the lead in growing the community. Whenever a candidate entity is interested in visiting the area, a tour agenda needs to be pre-planned with flexible components to tailor the visit to the entity's needs, i.e. who, where, what, when, etc. The legal area also needs to review the brochure, video and ads before use.
The homework is now done and mailing and telephoning can begin in a steady manner so as to not overwhelm followup on any response. The sequence involved is to start at the top of the ranking list and proceed toward the list's end in batches of candidates. Whenever a new candidate responds or visits, the county/city will be well informed to both conduct a tour and answer questions. Whenever a formal discussion/negotiation takes place, legal, executive, legislative, financial and appropriate utility representation needs to be involved. Legislative action may also be necessary before concluding any agreement.
My interest is twofold: to see a campaign started and to know the first entity has broken ground.
John M. Burling is a Jamestown native who now lives in Florida.

Everybody loves train wreck
July 31, 2012
Tennessee tycoon Jimmy Haslam III is interested in buying the Cleveland Browns.
Normally, a rich guy trying to buy a pro football is a news item without snap. But there aren't many instances where the guy is a rival owner, who claims high loyalty. About the time word of Haslam's interest to buy the Browns came up, a quote from Haslam's time as a minority owner with the rival Pittsburgh Steelers came up.
"I am," Haslam said in 2010, "1,000 percent a Pittsburgh Steelers fan."
Never mind how you become a 1,000 percent fan. His quote, added to his interest to buy the Browns, makes for two likely scenarios:
A: He's not a 1,000 percent Steelers fan, as it's known he grew up loving the Dallas Cowboys, but he said that to help instill confidence in fans and owners. Opportunism in pro sports? Stop the presses.
B: Haslam can love the Steelers all he wants, but he'll never have majority ownership. The Rooney family has controlled the team for more than 80 years, and has millions of financial and emotional reasons not to change that. So you buy the Browns, because another NFL team is a very shiny consolation prize.
However, the morbid side of me wants a third option.
Consider this to be C, a wildly ridiculous — heck, irresponsible to even suggest — hypothetical: Haslam DOES love the Steelers 1,000 percent. He therefore hates the Browns 1,000 percent and wants to tear them apart from the inside. Yes, the Steelers beat the Browns all the time now ... but it's not enough.
TBS has "Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns," and Haslam wants "NFL's Deplete the Browns."
Back in the 90s, my college friend Nicholas hated the Dallas Cowboys, and loved irking a mutual friend who loved them.
"When I get some money," Nicholas said, "I'm going to buy the Cowboys."
His plan was pure, unfiltered spite, with something new added every time he retold the fantasy:
n Move them to Fargo, N.D.
n Make them play in an open-air stadium.
n Change the team colors to hot pink.
n Gut the roster through a series of lopsided trades. Deion Sanders for a six-pack of Pepsi sounds fair.
I'm just imagining what else could be done to ruin a team. Hand head coaching duties to the local middle school coach. Concoct terrible concession stand items like yogurt-infused hot dogs. The possibilities are endless.
Before you get on your team's high horse, settle down. I'm bringing up the Cowboys because that's what my friend said, and I'm bringing up the Browns because that's the team Haslam's trying to buy. It could be the Titans, Ravens, Seahawks, 49ers, etc., and I'd still be morbidly curious to see a guy with that size of ... let's say gusto, become the evil genius we've only seen in movies.
It would kill the integrity of the game, you say? Maybe so, but I'd check NFL.com every 15 minutes to see what this guy would do next. And as reality television reminds with less shame every time, everybody loves a train wreck.
I know it will never happen, but part of me wants it.
How much? Hint: It's a percentage.

Academic and administrative facilities are unlocked and open to members of the university community during the normal course of the business day. Special access outside of normal business hours must be prearranged through individual academic or administrative departments.
UNH residence halls are always locked. Students are advised to be alert to non-residents trying to "tailgate" into the building behind them. CCTV cameras record all activity at the main residence hall entrances and are monitored at the UNH Police Department.
Another important security consideration is the matter of unlocked or propped doors. Residents should ALWAYS keep their residence hall room locked and always know who is knocking before opening the door. It is the responsibility of every resident to help ensure that no doors are propped open. If you see a propped door, you should un-prop it or immediately report it to the Residential Life staff.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (835 votes).
In short: The biggest event I have done. The numbers get in the way of it as a pure running event but it is a great occasion to be involved in.In full: The organisers did a very very good job. I came away very satisfied that the entry fee was money well spent, despite the high price. More importantly I thoroughly enjoyed the run.I have two constuctive criticisms. The split of the field into 3 large groups was a mixed blessing. With over 3000 setting off in each group without any speed grading, slower runners near the front caused the inevitable weaving in and out from the faster runners. This repeated later in the race as the faster runners from the second and third wave caught up with the slower runners ahead -a and there were a lot of runners in the lead group who would finish well down the order. I would grade the filed more effectively by using the time boards used successfully at major half marathons and ensure that the waves are more homogenous with egall of the slow runners are in the third wave.And finally, although the drinks station on the course were excellent, there was not enough water at the finishDate of review: October 11, 2004
In short: My first 10 mile event and, due to the flat course, I felt great all the way round.Date of review: October 11, 2004
In short: Brilliant race. Definately do it again. Got a PB of 1hour 24. Car parking was a bit of a bother with only one exit!!Date of review: October 11, 2004
In short: A well organised race with great PB potentialIn full: If I had one criticism it would be getting in and out of the city. I managed to avoid that this year by getting out before the queues started.(On the plus side, for the last 2 years I have achieved PB's over 10 miles)Date of review: October 11, 2004
In short: Excellent run, great atmosphere. Definately on my agenda for next year.Date of review: October 11, 2004
In short: Great race, well organised, a must for all runners!Date of review: October 11, 2004
In short: Well organised, decent route, very flat, pb potential.Date of review: October 11, 2004
In short: A brilliant day with 2 minutes off my PB of last year - an excellent event.Date of review: October 11, 2004
In short: Some nice scenery, and a good flat course. In full: My first 'big' race. Will definitely do again. Though would appreciate it if the organisers could remove the wind for next year, or even better make it a tail wind the whole way round, not just the last two miles. Date of review: October 11, 2004
In short: Good eventIn full: More toilets needed, I was still, queuing (half an hour)when the race startedDate of review: October 11, 2004

Compassion without constraints
One steamy afternoon a dog was observed in a yard with no trace of hydration, food or toys in sight. This canine wasn't lounging by his owner's side either. This malnourished canine was tightly chained around a tree with zero mental stimulation in his presence. His family didn't simply tie him up for a split second while doing yard work either. This neglected soul lived his entire life on a heavy truck chain. He ran endless circles around the tree he was connected to until the earth below him was practically pounded down to cement. This dog was obviously viewed as "worthless" in someone's eyes, but he deserved a better life.

The Origin Of Birds
Published on June 3, 2010
Section Nature / Non Human Stories
I had to post this Nova show. I love birds and had no idea, they are actually living dinosaurs. In The Four-Winged Dinosaur, NOVA investigates the most bizarre of these feathered dinosaurs, which has rekindled a fierce, decades-long debate over the origin of bird flight.
The origin of birds has been a contentious topic within evolutionary biology for many years, but more recently a scientific consensus has emerged which holds that birds are a group of theropod dinosaurs that evolved during the Mesozoic Era. A close relationship between birds and dinosaurs was first proposed in the nineteenth century after the discovery of the primitive bird Archaeopteryx in Germany and has been all but confirmed since the 1960s by comparative anatomy and the cladistic method of analyzing evolutionary relationships. The ongoing discovery of feathered dinosaur fossils in the Liaoning Province of China has shed new light on the subject for both specialists and the general public. In the phylogenetic sense, birds are dinosaurs. Continue Reading / See Additional Photos

"Any symptom in an elderly patient should be considered a drug side effect until proved otherwise."
Brown University Long-term Care Quality Letter, 1995.
Modern medicines have contributed to longer life spans, improved health and better quality of life. Medications are the most common treatment for many diseases and conditions seen in older people and persons with disabilities. Medicines now not only treat and cure diseases that were untreatable just a few years ago, they aid in the early diagnosis of disease; prevent life-threatening illnesses; relieve pain and suffering; and allow people with terminal illnesses to live more comfortably during their last days.
However, for older adults and people with disabilities, medications—prescription, over-the-counter, social drugs such as alcohol, and herbal remedies/alternative medicines—can be a double-edged sword. When not used appropriately, effectively and safely, medications can have devastating consequences.
The changes that occur with aging and disability make people more likely to suffer medication-related problems (MRPs). Nevertheless, research has shown that medication-related problems are often preventable. Caregivers can play a key role in helping to identify when an actual or potential MRP is occurring. This assistance can help prevent the costly and unwanted negative consequences of medication use, such as admission to acute care hospitals, assisted living facilities or nursing homes. About one quarter of all nursing home admissions are due at least in part to the inability to take medication correctly.
Research has shown that a high percentage of caregivers help their friends or relatives manage medications. Caregivers for people with Alzheimer's disease and other memory impairments commonly report problems with getting their relative or friend to take medications on time, in the right amount, and as directed. In surveys, caregivers often report that their knowledge of their loved one's medications—intended uses, directions for use, side effects, possible interactions—is greater than that of the care recipients themselves.
When patients, caregivers, doctors and pharmacists function as a team, medication-related problems can be avoided, contributing to better outcomes and improved daily functioning. This Fact Sheet serves as
a caregiver's guide to medication use and provides tips on what to do about the challenges of that use.
Older adults, people with disabilities and caregivers may encounter challenges when taking medications. Resolving these problems can lead to much better results from medicines. Consumers and caregivers must alert their doctors and pharmacists to any difficulties they have taking medications, including the following:
One very common problem associated with medication use among older adults and many people with disabilities is the use of multiple medications at one time, also referred to as "polypharmacy." Research has shown that the more medications a person takes, the greater the risk of experiencing a medication-related problem. For most older persons, multiple medication use is the norm. Many chronic conditions or diseases—diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson's disease, arthritis, incontinence, high blood pressure, pulmonary disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease—often require the use of multiple medications. The focus must be the appropriateness, effectiveness, and safety of all prescription and over-the-counter medications. Caregivers must ask questions about each medication, such as:
Some of the challenges faced by caregivers who must juggle multiple medications for their loved ones include keeping all the prescriptions filled, especially during weekends and holidays, and managing medications prescribed by multiple doctors. Planning ahead to refill prescriptions on time is essential; keeping an up-to-date medication record can inform doctors of all medicines prescribed by others. A "Caregiver's Notebook"—a looseleaf binder maintained by a caregiver—is an ideal way to com-pile information on medical diagnoses, doctors' appointments, questions, and medication history.
An important step to preventing problems is for health care professionals, consumers and caregivers to understand what medication-related problems are, to recognize the signs and symptoms of actual and potential MRPs, and to identify appropriate steps that can be taken to reduce the incidence of these common and costly problems.
It's important to keep in mind that medication effects can directly impact the daily functioning of older and disabled persons. These effects or "symptoms" of MRPs may include:
When these symptoms appear, they should be considered "red flags" to caregivers that an MRP may be happening.
This medication-related problem occurs when a person has a medical condition that requires a new or additional medication, but none has been provided. Examples among the older and disabled population include pain and depression, which often go undiagnosed, undertreated or untreated. These conditions are frequently assumed by some health care professionals to be a "normal part of aging." Inadequate treatment for pain and depression can lead to declines in functioning and participation in social activities.
Seniors often do not discuss all their symptoms with their health care professionals; many health care professionals do not adequately assess for all possible diseases and conditions. Proper assessment by health care professionals is essential so that symptoms can be identified and proper treatment initiated. Seniors and their caregivers must also feel comfortable discussing their symptoms—no matter how sensitive—with health care professionals.
This medication-related problem occurs when a pa-tient is taking a medication that is unnecessary given the patient's current medical problems—i.e., there is no longer a valid medical reason to use the medication. In addition, if a patient receives combination therapy when a single drug would be equally effective, then the patient would be receiving unnecessary medication. Patients who are exposed to unnecessary medications may experience toxic effects. The cost of unnecessary medications is also a consideration, especially for many seniors who have limited incomes.
This medication-related problem occurs when a person has a medical condition for which the wrong medication is being taken. When a patient is not ex-periencing the intended positive outcomes from a certain medication, then the wrong medication may have been prescribed. Examples include inappropriate dosage form; the condition is nonresponsive to the medication; medication is not indicated for the condition being treated; or a more effective medication is available. Patients and their caregivers must have a clear understanding of what to expect—and when to expect it—when taking medications. When the result is different, the doctor should be contacted to make him or her aware of the situation.
This type of MRP occurs when a patient has a medical condition for which too little of the correct medication has been prescribed or too little is taken. Medication dosages are considered too low if a patient has an appropriate indication for a medication, is not experiencing any side effects from the medication, yet is not realizing the desired benefit. When the correct medication is prescribed and the dose is too low, the benefits of the medication can be minimal or none at all, and may result in serious unpleasant effects through poor treatment. Simply adjusting the dosage and/or dosage interval can improve the clinical outcomes. Again, patients and their caregivers must have a clear understanding of what to expect from their medications.
Perhaps the most common medication-related problem among older persons is when the correct medication is prescribed, but the dose is too high. This MRP frequently occurs in older people because the physical changes of aging can alter the way our bodies process and react to medications. For example, in the aging body, the liver and kidneys may not as easily remove medications. In addition, changes in the distribution of fat and muscle can make seniors more susceptible to adverse drug events.
These changes increase an older person's sensitivity to a potential adverse effect. A "normal dose" of a medication can be an overdose for many older per-sons. Some medications, however, are used in the same doses for both older and younger adults. Medications that act on the central nervous system (CNS) are particularly problematic because older persons are extra sensitive to the adverse effects of these medications. Examples include antidepressants, sedatives, antipsychotics, and some blood pressure medications. Signs that a dose may be too high include dizziness, confusion, delirium, insomnia, Parkinson's-like symptoms, loss of appetite, falls, and changes in memory.
ADRs can occur when a patient is receiving a medication considered to be unsafe based on:
Drug interactions can produce uncomfortable or dangerous adverse effects. A very common drug interaction involves blood-thinning medications that can thin the blood even more when combined with aspirin and some other pain relievers. Before prescribing any new drug, the doctor should be aware of all the other drugs the patient may be taking.
For medications to be safe and effective, they must be taken at a particular dosage, at specified times, and for a specific period of time. There are many reasons why patients don't receive medications as prescribed. A patient, for example, may perceive that the medication has caused or will cause some adverse event, is confused about why and how to take the medication, or finds it inconvenient to take the medication.
The high cost of medications and the limited coverage for prescription drugs in public and private health insurance are major causes people don't take their medicines. The use of generic medications,
if available, helps reduce out-of-pocket expenses. Many pharmaceutical companies provide free medications or special discounts to persons with low incomes. Call around for the lowest price; many pharmacies will match the prices of their competitors. Ask your doctor for samples.
Several states offer pharmaceutical assistance programs for low-income seniors who are not Medicaid-eligible. Pharmacists can assist seniors in obtaining medications through these programs. (Food stamps and rental assistance can also help by making addi-tional money available for medications.) Medicare outpatient prescription drug benefit changes may also provide assistance with certain medication costs to a select group of older people when they go into effect in 2006.
The sale of herbal products in the U.S. is largely unregulated. Companies that sell these products are not required to demonstrate their safety and effectiveness. Some herbal ingredients are not listed on the packaging or the listing may be incomplete or inaccurate, so you may not know what you are taking. Although some herbal and other natural products may be beneficial in some instances, they can have significant and sometimes unpredictable side effects. Many herbals also interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines. For example, ginkgo biloba, frequently used for memory loss, may interact with blood thinners, high blood pressure medications, and certain pain relievers such as ibuprofen and naproxen. To avoid problems with herbal medicines, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about any herbals you use or are considering using.
One responsibility of patients and their caregivers is to fully prepare for medical appointments. Before visits, write down everything you want to talk about, including important questions related to medications. Take notes during appointments, and review the notes after the appointment. You may have additional questions to ask of doctors and pharmacists, such as:
The scope and severity of problems that can occur with medication therapy are tremendous. To prevent these problems from occurring, consumers and caregivers, as well as their health care professionals, have a responsibility to ensure appropriate, safe and effective medication use. All professionals involved in prescribing and dispensing—as well as the consumer and caregiver—should consider themselves essential members of the health care team. The consumer or caregiver who alerts their doctor or nurse to the need for changes to medication therapy plays a vital role in getting the best treatment.
Consumer and caregiver responsibilities center on effective communication with the health care team. This includes presenting actual or potential medication-related problems in a timely manner to health care professionals, and participating in resolution of the problems. Before this can happen, consumers and caregivers must be able to recognize the possible signs and symptoms of a medication-related problem. For older adults, any symptom should be considered a medication-related problem until proved otherwise. When symptoms interfere with daily functioning and when the time sequence of the symptom indicates that it was caused by a medication, then a health care professional should be informed immediately.
Consumers and caregivers share responsibilities by expressing their concerns, expectations, and any lack of understanding about medication therapy and demanding answers to their questions. Consumers need to be able to present health care professionals with accurate and complete information about health conditions. It is important for consumers with new medical problems to fully describe the problem, indicate how long it has been a problem, if the problem has been experienced before, how it started, what was done to relieve it, and what worked or didn't work. For seniors with cognitive impairments, caregivers play a vital role in recognizing changes in health conditions and effectively describing problems to health care professionals.

I put it on oatmeal and pancakes. It is thick, shiny, and has a subtle sweetness and taste. Since it is not overly sweet, much less so than honey, it probably would not be the sweetener of choice for things like tea or baked goods. Sometimes it is fun to eat a spoonful right out of the jar. :)
This is great. The best syrup for pancakes. It is not too sweet like most pancake syrups. Highly recommend this. Also used this to sweeten with.

This one may be filtered and highly processed. I don't like the taste. I prefer Lundberg, Sweet Dreams instead.
does the job!
Posted by Reviewer1120601 on Dec 22, 2014
I use this as a easy, fructose free alternative to honey, maple syrup etc and have had no problems whatsoever. However,I wouldn't use it raw eg on toast etc- but then I wouldn't do that with honey either (I only like it as a sweetener, but for the flavour)
Great Substitute

Forget about the "window" test. That is appropriate for making breads, but not pizza dough. For pizza dough you just want to mix the dough long enough to get a smooth appearance to the dough, no longer.
