The Real Survivor - A TV Show Idea for the Next Series

Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 4 kids each for six weeks. Each kid will play two sports and either take music or dance classes. There is no fast food. Each man must take care of his 4 kids; keep his assigned house clean, correct all homework, complete science projects, cook, do laundry, and pay a list of "pretend" bills with not enough money. In addition...each man will have to budget in money for groceries each week.

Each man must also take each child to a doctor's appointment, a dentist appointment, and an appointment for a haircut. He must also make cookies or cupcakes for a social function. Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house, planting flowers outside and keep it presentable at all times. The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores are done. There is only one TV.

Each father will be required to know all of the words to every stupid song that comes on TV and the name of each and every repulsive character on cartoons. The men must daily: shave their legs and underarms, and wear makeup which they will apply themselves either while driving or making four lunches. They must adorn themselves with jewelry, wear uncomfortable, yet stylish shoes, keep their nails polished and eyebrows groomed. During one of the six weeks, they will have to endure severe stomach cramps, back aches, and have extreme, unexplained mood swings but must never complain or slow down from other duties.

They must attend weekly PTA meetings, church, and find time at least once to spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting. He will need to pray with the children each night, bathe them, dress them, brush their teeth and comb their hair each morning by 7:00. A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information: each child's birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size and doctor's name. Also the child's weight at birth, length, time of birth, and length of labor. Also each child's favorite color, middle name, favorite snack, favorite song, favorite drink, favorite toy, biggest fear and what they want to be when they grow up.

They must clean up after their sick children at 3:00 a.m. and then spend the remainder of the day tending to that child and waiting on them hand and foot until they are better. Each man will have to make an Indian hut model with six toothpicks, a tortilla and one marker; and get a 4 year old to eat a serving of peas. The kids vote them off the island based on performance. The last man wins only if...he still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moments notice. If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18-25 years...eventually earning the right to be called Mother!

The Pottenger Cat Experiments - Raw vs Cooked Food

One of the best known studies of Raw vs Cooked Foods with animals was a 10 yr research project using 900 cats. Dr Pottenger fed all 900 cats the same food, the only difference being that one group recieved it raw, while the other recieved it cooked.

The cats that were feed the uncooked raw, living foods produced Healthy Kittens year after year with No ill Health or Premature Deaths.

But the cats fed the same food, only cooked, developed Heart Disease, Cancer, Kidney & Thyroid Diesease, Pneumonia, Paralysis, Loss of Teeth, Arthritis, Birthing Difficulties, Diminished Sexual Interest, Diarrhea, Irritability, Liver Problems, & Osteoporosis, (the same diseases common in our American cooked-food culture).

The 1st Generation of kittens from cats fed cooked food were Sick & Abnormal, the 2nd Generation were often born Diseased or Dead, & by the 3rd generation, the Mothers were Sterile!

A Little Car Accident Humor

A woman and a man are involved in a car accident on a snowy, cold Monday morning; it's a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of them are hurt. God works in Mysterious ways.

After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, "So you're a man. That's interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but we're unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days".

Flattered, the man replies, "Oh yes, I agree with you completely, this must be a sign from God!"

The woman continues, "And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." Then she hands the bottle to the man.

The man nods his head in agreement, opens it and drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle and immediately puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man.

The man asks, "Aren't you having any?" The woman replies, "No. I think I'll just wait for the police....."

MORAL OF THE STORY: Women are clever, evil and not convinced that God is paying attention..

Anthrax Vaccine Refusal - Military Seeking Amnesty

U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays is proposing amnesty for hundreds of military service members punished or chased from the military for refusing the controversial anthrax vaccine that a federal court judge has since deemed improperly licensed.

Since the vaccinations began six years ago, nearly 500 active-duty service members have refused the vaccine and more than 100 have been court-martialed, according to data filed in federal court. About 500 to 1,000 pilots and flight crew members have retired or transferred from the Air National Guard or reserves rather than take the vaccine, government statistics as of early 2004 show.

After U.S. Secretary of Defense William Cohen mandated the vaccinations in 1998, eight veteran Connecticut Air National Guard combat pilots - almost a quarter of the 103rd Fighter Wing - resigned in protest. On average, a pilot with nine years of experience costs the government $6 million to train, government research shows.

"As a taxpayer," Blumenthal said, "I am very concerned that the Defense Department has spent literally tens of millions of dollars to train pilots and other highly trained personnel who may be [and are] barred from serving [their country] by [vaccine] policies that have been wrongly applied and incorrectly justified."

Shays is planning to introduce legislation soon to correct the record of any member or former member of the Armed Forces subjected to any job sanctions because of his or her refusal to submit to anthrax vaccinations.

If service members feel they were wrongly punished for refusing the vaccine, he said, they can request relief from the Boards for Correction of Military Records." He added, however, that "pending outcome of the appeal, conclusions about the legal status of the vaccination program prior to the district court decision are premature."

Police Execs Speakout About Terrorism, Gun Control, Drugs

The National Association of Chiefs of Police released its 17th Annual Survey of Police Chiefs and Sheriffs and some of the survey findings are surprising and compelling. The survey -- released in the January 2005 issue of Police Times Magazine -- had some surprising results on various topics including terrorism, gun control, homeland security, and drug enforcement.

NACOP asserts that the public perception of how police view certain issues is based on media coverage, which is not necessarily accurate. When police chiefs and sheriffs are allowed to respond to poll questions anonymously, the politics may be removed from their answers.

Terrorism: When asked if the United States would be attacked by terrorists within the next year, 86.6 percent said yes. Meanwhile 70 percent of police commanders said they received training and other resources from the federal government to combat terrorism, while only 49.2 percent said their departments participated in terrorism-response simulations.

Homeland Security: When police commanders were asked if they observed more cooperation between federal and local agencies, 69.7 percent said yes. Sixty-seven percent of the respondents stated they found the color-coded threat matrix an effective way of informing the public of terrorist threats. When asked if the process of arming commercial airline pilots is too burdensome, 53.6 percent of the police executives answered yes.

Gun Control: With regard to private citizens owning firearms for sport or self-defense, 93.6 percent of the respondents supported civilian gun-ownership rights. Ninety-six percent of the police chiefs and sheriffs believe criminals obtain firearms from illegal sources and 92.2 percent revealed they hadn't arrested anyone for violation of the so-called "waiting period" laws. When asked if citizens concealed-weapons permits would reduce violent crime, 63.1 percent said yes.

War on Drugs: Forty-one percent of police commanders surveyed said they believe marijuana should be available for medicinal purposes and 68.9 percent said they've seen an increase in the abuse of prescription drugs such as Oxycontin and other Schedule II drugs. Only 22 percent of police commanders believe the war on drugs has been successful, while 28 percent said they favored decriminalization of "soft drugs" such as marijuana.

Police News Coverage: An overwhelming 93.2 percent believe the news media is not fair and balanced in their coverage, while 70.1 percent said they have at least one officer assigned to handle media requests.

Technology: Ninety-four percent of the respondents believe convicted felons should be required to submit DNA samples to be catalogued in a manner similar to that used for fingerprints. Only 29.8 percent said their departments issue tasers to their officers.

Other Topics: With regard to criminal (racial) profiling, 67.3 percent stated they had a written and enforced policy prohibiting such profiling. Only 23 percent of the respondents felt that civilian-review boards are effective in handling citizen complaints against police officers, while 58.7 said their subordinates attended sensitivity training classes.

Homeschool Heartbeat: Homeschooling Gifted Children

Is your child gifted? How can you know?

Whether or not your child has been officially diagnosed as gifted, you may have noticed that he seems to be exceptionally motivated in a particular subject area. This week, Inge Cannon and Mike Smith discuss the different ways you can evaluate your child for giftedness. They also address some of the challenges that parents face when teaching gifted children.

New NC Car Seat Law - Does it Really Save Lives?

My Beef: New NC Law = Car Seats for Kids - Ages 4 - 8

Tell me if I'm wrong, but do booster seats really save lives for children between the ages of 4 - 8 over the traditional car seatbelt?

Or is this just another boost in income for the Car Seat Makers? Mandating that these Booster Seats be purchased by parents in NC & maybe across the US bothers me because I don't see how raising a child a few inches will make a real difference in protecting them.

Because of this new law, I must purchase 3 more car seats for 3 children who were "previously no longer required" to use them.

Ben Stein: A Real Star - Final Column - Part 1

How Can Someone Who Lives in Insane Luxury Be a Star in Today's World?

Beyond that, a bigger change has happened. I no longer think Hollywood stars are terribly important. They are uniformly pleasant, friendly people, and they treat me better than I deserve to be treated. But a man or woman who makes a huge wage for memorizing lines and reciting them in front of a camera is no longer my idea of a shining star we should all look up to.

A real star is the soldier of the 4th Infantry Division who poked his head into a hole on a farm near Tikrit, Iraq.

How can a man or woman who makes an eight-figure wage and lives in insane luxury really be a star in today's world, if by a "star" we mean someone bright and powerful and attractive as a role model?

Real stars are not riding around in the backs of limousines or in Porsches or getting trained in yoga or Pilates and eating only raw fruit while they have Vietnamese girls do their nails. They can be interesting, nice people, but they are not heroes to me any longer.

A real star is the soldier of the 4th Infantry Division who poked his head into a hole on a farm near Tikrit, Iraq. He could have been met by a bomb or a hail of AK-47 bullets. Instead, he faced an abject Saddam Hussein and the gratitude of all of the decent people of the world.

A real star is the U.S. soldier who was sent to disarm a bomb next to a road north of Baghdad. He approached it, and the bomb went off and killed him.

A real star, the kind who haunts my memory night and day, is the U.S. soldier in Baghdad who saw a little girl playing with a piece of unexploded ordnance on a street near where he was guarding a station. He pushed her aside and threw himself on it just as it exploded. He left a family desolate in California and a little girl alive in Baghdad. I no longer want to perpetuate poor values by pretending that who is eating at Morton's is a big subject.

The stars who deserve media attention are not the ones who have lavish weddings on TV but the ones who patrol the streets of Mosul even after two of their buddies were murdered and their bodies battered and stripped for the sin of trying to protect Iraqis from terrorists.

We put couples with incomes of $100 million a year on the covers of our magazines. The noncoms and officers who barely scrape by on military pay but stand on guard in Afghanistan and Iraq and on ships and in submarines and near the Arctic Circle are anonymous as they live and die.

I am no longer comfortable being a part of the system that has such poor values, and I do not want to perpetuate those values by pretending that who is eating at Morton's is a big subject.

There are plenty of other stars in the American firmament. The policemen and women who go off on patrol in South Central and have no idea if they will return alive. The orderlies and paramedics who bring in people who have been in terrible accidents and prepare them for surgery. The teachers and nurses who throw their whole spirits into caring for autistic children. The kind men and women who work in hospices and in cancer wards.

Think of each and every fireman who was running up the stairs at the World Trade Center as the towers began to collapse. Now you have my idea of a real hero.

Ben Stein: A Real Star - Final Column - Part 2

How Can Someone Who Lives in Insane Luxury Be a Star in Today's World?

Last column, I told you a few of the rules I had learned to keep my sanity. Well, here is a final one to help you keep your sanity and keep you in the running for stardom: We are puny, insignificant creatures.

We are not responsible for the operation of the universe, and what happens to us is not terribly important. God is real, not a fiction, and when we turn over our lives to Him, he takes far better care of us than we could ever do for ourselves.

In a word, we make ourselves sane when we fire ourselves as the directors of the movie of our lives and turn the power over to Him. I came to realize that life lived to help others is the only one that matters. This is my highest and best use as a human.

I can put it another way. Years ago, I realized I could never be as great an actor as Olivier or as good a comic as Steve Martin--or Martin Mull or Fred Willard--or as good an economist as Samuelson or Friedman or as good a writer as Fitzgerald. Or even remotely close to any of them.

But I could be a devoted father to my son, husband to my wife and, above all, a good son to the parents who had done so much for me. This came to be my main task in life.

I did it moderately well with my son, pretty well with my wife and well indeed with my parents (with my sister's help). I cared for and paid attention to them in their declining years. I stayed with my father as he got sick, went into extremis and then into a coma and then entered immortality with my sister and me reading him the Psalms.

This was the only point at which my life touched the lives of the soldiers in Iraq or the firefighters in New York. I came to realize that life lived to help others is the only one that matters and that it is my duty, in return for the lavish life God has devolved upon me, to help others He has placed in my path. This is my highest and best use as a human.

Drug Maker Eli Lilly Knew Prozac Increased Suicide Risks 15 Years Ago

(CNN) -- Internal documents from Eli Lilly and Co. appear to indicate that the drug maker had data more than 15 years ago showing that adverse-effect reports for Prozac were far more likely to list suicide attempts and violence than reports for other antidepressants.

One memo suggests a strategy for talking to doctors about unfavorable clinical trial data showing an increased risk of nervousness, anxiety, agitation, insomnia and sedation among patients.

Lilly officials said Tuesday numbers in the documents made public Monday represented not clinical trials but "adverse effects" reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The company acknowledged the documents belong to Lilly.

The data were reviewed extensively at the time, said Dr. Charles Beasley of Lilly, but "we did not believe this data, for a number of reasons, were terribly useful or informative in terms of suggesting anything about a causal link between the drug and the adverse effects being reported."

The documents were provided to CNN by the office of Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-New York, who has called for tightening FDA regulations on drug safety. "The case demonstrates the need for Congress to mandate the complete disclosure of all clinical studies for FDA-approved drugs so that patients and their doctors, not the drug companies, decide whether the benefits of taking a certain medicine outweigh the risks," he said.

One of the documents cites what a Lilly official told CNN were 14,198 adverse-effect reports in which 3.7 percent were suicide attempts by people on fluoxetine -- the generic name for Prozac. That rate was far higher than those cited for any of four other commonly used antidepressants.

The document also states that 2.3 percent of those adverse-effect reports concerned psychotic depression while on the drug, more than double the next-highest rate of patients using any of the other antidepressants. In addition, the document said that 1.6 percent were reported incidents of hostility -- more than double the rate reported on any of the other commonly used antidepressants.

And, the document says, 0.8 percent of adverse-effect reports concerned patients causing an intentional injury -- eight times the rate associated with any of the other antidepressants.

Lilly officials said Prozac had only recently been approved in the United States at the time those data were compiled and as a result the drug was under close scrutiny by physicians, receiving more adverse effect reports than the older antidepressants. Such reports would be expected to decrease the longer any drug remains on the market, Beasley said.

Among the documents is a memo in which the author says the drug may produce nervousness, anxiety, agitation or insomnia in 19 percent of patients, and sedation in 13 percent of patients. Beasley did not dispute the contents and said he likely authored the memo, titled "Activation and sedation in fluoxetine clinical trials."

The memo said, "Several suggestions may be helpful in presenting this information to physicians," including emphasizing that more patients on another class of antidepressants stopped taking their drugs than did those on Prozac.

The existence of the documents obtained by CNN and other documents was reported last week by the British Medical Journal. Its editors said the documents had been reported missing from a 10-year-old murder case, and that they had sent them to the FDA for review.

The journal said the documents disappeared in 1994, during the case of Joseph Wesbecker, a printing press operator who had killed eight people at his Louisville, Kentucky, workplace five years before, while taking fluoxetine. He then shot and killed himself.

Each of the four pages of the documents obtained by CNN is stamped "Confidential" and "Fentress," the name of one of Wesbecker's victims.

That stamp, said Lilly spokesman Morry Smulevitz, likely was used because the documents were provided to plaintiffs' attorneys in the trial. He said the documents did not disappear, but have always been available.

In a civil suit against Eli Lilly, victims' relatives contended the company had long known about the side effects of fluoxetine, including its alleged role in increasing a user's propensity to violence.

Lilly initially won the case, but it was later forced to admit that it had made a secret settlement with the plaintiffs during the trial, which meant that the verdict was invalid, the journal said.

The FDA has recently warned that antidepressants can cause side effects such as agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, and aggressiveness.

In a statement posted on Lilly's Web site, the company said, "To our knowledge, there has never been any allegation of missing documents from the Wesbecker trial or any other trial involving Lilly. Further, it has always been Lilly's objective to publicly disclose data about both the safety and efficacy of fluoxetine.

"Lilly has made several requests to the BMJ to obtain copies of the supposed 'missing' documents; we still await these documents. We are surprised and concerned that a leading medical journal would not find it important to share these documents with us so that we could respond to the public in a meaningful way."

Based on its history of having provided regulatory authorities with study results, the statement said, "Lilly believes that there is no new scientific information to review on this topic."

About 54 million people worldwide have taken Prozac, Smulevitz said.

Your Favorite Color - What it Says About You?

White: Symbolic of purity, innocence, and naivete, white has strong connotations of youth and purity. If you are an older person, your preference for white could indicate a desire for perfection and impossible ideals, maybe an attempt to recapture lost youth and freshness. It may also symbolize a desire for simplicity or the simple life.

Red: The color of strength, health, and vitality, Red is often the color chosen by someone outgoing, aggressive, vigorous, and impulsive--or who would like to be! It goes with an ambitious nature but those who choose it can be abrupt at times, determined to get all they can out of life, quick to judge people and take sides. Red people are usually optimistic and can’t stand monotony; they are rather restless and not at all introspective, so they may be unaware of their own shortcomings. They find it hard to be objective and may blame others for any mishaps. Quiet people with a preference for red may feel the need for the warmth, strength and life-giving qualities of the color, or they blanket their true feelings under a sober exterior. Red is usually chosen by those with open and uncomplicated natures, with a zest for life.

Maroon: Harsh experience has probably matured the Maroon person into someone likeable and generous. It is often a favorite color of someone who has been battered by life but has come through. It indicates a well-disciplined Red personality--one who has had difficult experiences and has not come through unmarked but who has grown and matured in the process.

Pink: This color embodies the gentler qualities of Red, symbolizing love and affection without passion. Women who prefer Pink tend to be maternal. Pink desires protection, special treatment, and a sheltered life. Pink people require affection and like to feel loved and secure, perhaps wanting to appear delicate and fragile. Pink people tend to be charming and gentle, if a trifle indefinite.

Orange: This color of luxury and pleasure appeals to the flamboyant and fun-loving person who likes a lively social round. Orange people may be inclined to dramatize a bit, and people notice them, but they are generally good-natured and popular. They can be a little fickle and vacillating, but on the whole they try hard to be agreeable. Orange is the color of youth, strength, fearlessness, curiosity, and restlessness.

Yellow: The color of happiness, wisdom, and imagination, Yellow is chosen by the mentally adventurous, searching for novelty and self-fulfillment. Yellow usually goes with a sunny and shrewd personality, with a good business head and a strong sense of humor. It is the color of intellectuality and all things to do with the mind. Yellow folks are usually clear and precise thinkers who have a good opinion of their own mental capacities and who have lofty ideals. They may at times tend to shun responsibility, preferring freedom of thought and action.

Green: The color of harmony and balance, Green symbolizes hope, renewal, and peace, and is usually liked by the gentle and sincere. Greens are generally frank, community-minded people, fairly sociable but preferring peace at any price. Green people can he too self-effacing, modest, and patient and so may get exploited by others. They are usually refined, civilized, and reputable.

Blue: Soft, soothing, compassionate and caring, Blue is the color of deliberation and introspection, conservatism and duty. Patient, persevering, conscientious, sensitive and self-controlled, Blues like to be admired for their steady character and wisdom. They are faithful, but are often worriers with somewhat inflexible beliefs and can be too cautious, and suspicious of flamboyant behavior.

Blue-Green: Exacting, discriminating, poised and attractive, the Blue-Green person tends to be sensitive, intellectual and refined, persevering and stable if rather detached. Blue-Greens have excellent taste, and are usually courteous and charming, capable but often refusing help or guidance.

Turquoise: Complex, imaginative, and original, Turquoise people drive themselves hard and may be in a state of turmoil under their outwardly cool exterior.

Lavender: This is often chosen by a person who lives “on a higher plane”, who never notices anything sordid and who is always impeccably and beautifully dressed. Lavender people may be on a continual quest for culture and the refined things of life, high and noble causes but without the necessity of getting their hands dirty. A Lavender person is usually creative, charming, witty and civilized.

Purple: Purples are highly individual, fastidious, witty, and sensitive, with a strong desire to be unique and different. Temperamental, expansive and artistic, a Purple person may become aloof and sarcastic when misunderstood. If you chose Purple, you tend to be unconventional, tolerant, and dignified, likely to achieve positions of authority.

Brown: A Brown person has stamina and patience, tending to be very solid and substantial, conscientious, dependable, steady, and conservative. Browns are not impulsive, and may be inarticulate and tactless but they love responsibility and are reliable and kindly. If you chose Brown, watch out for a tendency to be obstinate and inflexible.

Gray: The color of caution and compromise, diligent Grays search for composure and peace and often work hard without reward. Older Grays like life to run on an even keel with few ups and downs. Young Grays may be withdrawing from life and suppressing their personalities. Grays often have good business ability and tend to over-work.

Black: Dignified and impressive without being showy, Black people want to give the appearance of mystery, but their preference may also indicate a suppression of desires and worldly aims, suggesting hidden depths and inner longings.
