Beyond the World news headlines
Hollywood props, deployed by the U.S. Army
There was no one there but us and the fake chickens.
I visited the U.S. Army's training center at Fort Polk in Louisiana this month with some fellow foreign correspondents to see soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division training for a mission in Afghanistan. For 21 days, the soldiers are meant to live and operate as if they had already deployed to the war zone. (You can see the story here.)
The center goes to great lengths to recreate the experience that troops will face in Iraq and Afghanistan. That means fireworks to simulate bomb explosions, fake blood to make casualties look realistic, and Afghan or Iraqi role-players to act as civilians, security force members and interpreters.
The Army even allows "relaxed grooming standards" for the soldiers who play insurgents — they are allowed to grow beards and long hair to look the part.
The trainers produce a daily newspaper which reports on the previous day's events in the fictional Afghanistan, along with an enemy propaganda sheet which can be filled with lies.
But perhaps the most striking symbols of this attention to detail are the mock villages created with the help of Hollywood set-dressers. We visited one that was close to completion with C.J. McCann, the Army official in charge of the villages. It was rather eerie, standing in the otherwise empty village on a windswept day. The place felt like a cross between a ghost town and a spaghetti western set.
The fake fruit and vegetables, the fake carcasses hanging outside the butcher's shop, the washing hanging out to dry, and the uncannily lifelike fake chickens… they may seem over the top to some. But the Army says the more realistic the setting, the better the training for its soldiers.
Unlike the villages, the video below is not Oscar-worthy. It was filmed with a small, mobile phone sized camera, with the wind whipping around us. But it provides a feel for the level of detail in the villages as McCann explains how they came to be built and how they force soldiers to think about the effect they have on civilians — even with actions as basic as getting vehicle antennas caught in power lines.
(Just in case you were wondering, TRADOC is the U.S. Army's Training and Doctrine Command. And Fort Irwin is the Army's other major training centre in the United States, located in the Mojave Desert in California.)

The Boston PIC and the Boston Opportunity Agenda are pleased to announce the Boston Opportunity Youth Collaborative's request for proposal (RFP) for a connection center. We seek an organization or organizations to establish a connection center or centers for young people who have a high school credential (GED or diploma), are between the ages of 20 and 24, and are out of school and out of work but want to connect to education or job training. Please find relevant materials and resources below.
The Boston Healthcare Careers Consortium, convened by the Boston PIC, recently released a new policy brief called "From Classroom to Employment: Who Is Hired in Boston's Healthcare Sector?" The brief is based on a 2013-2014 data pilot project led by the Consortium to understand the employment prospects of graduates from healthcare-specific programs at community colleges, and to understand employer preferences for entry-level hires.
This spring, the Boston STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Network, in partnership with the Boston Public Schools, Boston After School & Beyond, and the Boston PIC, released its first report, titled "Assessing the State of STEM in Boston." The report provides a foundational understanding of Boston Public Schools student achievement and interest in STEM subjects and careers, as well as the capacity of the out-of-school time STEM community to serve our students.
Today, we sent out the PIC's Spring 2014 Quarterly Newsletter. We hope you enjoy it!
The Boston Globe reported today, that despite a national slump, the Boston area is among the nation's best when it comes to teenage employment.

Hi all,
Last night I walked the Manchester "Shine" Midnight Marathon in aid of Cancer Research UK, starting at 10.15 I managed to do the full 26.2 mile course in 8 hours 48 minutes.
But boy oh boy am I paying for it now :-( very sore feet, legs, back and I've got several huge blisters on my feet, but overall it was worthwhile, and it's always nice to do your bit to do some fundraising for such a worthwhile cause :-)

After 13 seasons in a Indianapolis Colts jersey, Peyton Manning will be looking to wear a new one. The Colts have announced their plans to release Manning, ones that we've expected to hear for quite some time now. At 4pm today, his release will be official and he'll be free to sign immediately with whomever he pleases.
As for us Tennessee Titans fans, it' basically a giant sigh of relief. Manning has terrorized us for a long time and given us more than our fair share of heartbreaks. As unfortunate as it is for him to not be able to retire as a Colt, it feels pretty good knowing the Titans will never face another Colts team lead by that future Hall of Famer.
It'll be interesting to watch some teams to scramble to grab him up out of free agency and to find out how healthy his throwing arm is. There has been speculation galore and a recently released video of him throwing at Duke University. Redskins, Dolphins, and the Seahawks could all be interested in acquiring his services.
Where ever he ends up, I wish him the best of luck. He may have terrorized me for years and I may loathe him as a Colt, but I'll always respect him as a player of the game. I hope he can go out there and play well and end his career on his own terms, not everyone else's.

House Republicans Name Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn as Manager of 20-Week Ban
Category: Abortion
The House Republicans, ignoring public opinion and good policy,have steadfastly moved forward with a bill that would ban abortion nationally after 20 weeks. But a funny thing happened on the way to the floor. During the committee markup, Arizona Congressman Trent Franks said that "the incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy are very low." Not surprisingly, Franks' facts were wrong — an estimated 25,000 women become pregnant from rape annually. After last year's issues with women voters, it's no surprise that the House Republican Leadership would want a new face to manage a bill that would ban abortion at 20 weeks and place additional burdens on survivors of rape or incest seeking abortion.
So who did they choose? Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn. She may be a woman, but we're not fooled. She's one of the most ardent opponents of women's health and, in fact, women's equality. Blackburn's record says it all:
- On Meet the Press just two weeks ago, Blackburn said American women "don't want" equal pay laws. With that in mind, it's not surprising that she voted NO on the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and NO on the Paycheck Fairness Act in 2009.
- She was ranked #3 on the National Journal's annual list of most conservative members in Congress in 2012 — just behind former Rep. Todd Akin ("legitimate rape") and Rep. Austin Scott (R-GA). To put it into context, Rep. Trent Franks ranked 78th.
- She voted NO on reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act in 2013 because it protected too many people: "I didn't like the way it was expanded to include other different groups."
- She voted NO on an amendment that would ensure privacy of the medical records of women seeking to terminate a pregnancy that resulted from rape or incest.
Politics should have no place preventing doctors and other health professionals from informing patients about their health care options, and doctors should not be criminalized for providing constitutionally protected care. Whether it's Blackburn or Franks managing the bill, the story is the same: Republican House leadership doesn't trust women to make their own personal medical decisions. Tell them enough is enough: stop attacking women's health and rights.

I would like to hear your thought and views on - "What is the purpose of life?".....Why are we born? What is the truth of this world? Has life got rules? or is it play as u go along? Why is it from the second we are born we are dieing? In genral..What is the purpose of life?
I posit that the nihilists might actually be right. If we take the premis that Homo sapiens is just another animal, then there is no reason why that animal should not obey the rules of the other billion or so species of life with which s/he shares the planet. So: The purpose of a bird, insect, bacteria, sentient being is to consume food, convert it to energy procreate and exploit the environmental niche in which that life form occupies. That accepted than I conclude that in the broadest sense our purpose is to be, or not to be, dependent on the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
Does life need a purpose? It seems to me, that my own experience is the best purpose. That purpose gets messed up whenever I get a goal in my mind and pursue it. I feel best when I become absorbed in the moment and forget about the big picture. That said, it is also true that the pleasures of the moment do not always lead to the most moral or ethical choices. Thus, living according to a central code of ethics or a ideal of myself is close to living according to a purpose.
I have been told the purpose of ourlife is to help others. BUT, sometimes we find ourselves in a situation where we have received life shatterring blows it is difficult to think of helping others when we are struggling to hold ourselves together. Can anyone helpthe future outlook of my life
Josephine, how can anyone help you if you dont tell us your problem?
Think this makes me a nill'ist???
Who says there has to be any purpose?
where is this measure we are reach?
why should there be a "goal?"
The universe exist's,were part of it and one day us and all we have created,discovered,
all matter,time and any (remnant?)trace of us,anyone else (alien/myth/diety) and all will go"blip" into none existence.
now how many of you see that as a very pessimistic outlook?????
Now think for a moment-
If there is no end goal,no real measure of a useful/productive life.
if it doesn't matter to history,time, what ethics we use.
if there is no one to judge, eternal fire e.t.c.
Then i think this should be seen as encouraging not negative because as we release ourselves from the yolk of religion,goals,guilt,ambition and gain an understanding of our final out come(universe and us).Then we may apreciate just how unique the human condition is.
We can then asses our ethics,beliefs,actions and decide that the life We/I choose is because We/I have an understanding of My/Our existence and the choices i make are informed not indocteranted? (programmed/passed down).
In short- - CHOOSE IT YOURSELF AND BE PROUD, COS IN THE END IT DONT MEAN *&%$.
The purpose of life is "to be there".As life and all existence is actually impossible(where would that first atom come from),we have to think on a different level than WHY or WHAT FOR and ask the real biggie,which is how.
For me the immovable object of that first atom would need a truly irresistible force. That can only be DESIRE,which would CREATE everything.That's not something,but EVERYTHING.So everything exists BECAUSE IT WANTS TO.
why should there be a purpose?
the real answer is what nobody wants to believe so i,m probably wasting my time!
you are not who you think you are in fact you do not even think you just react.
there is only the purely physical reactions following a set of rules set by physics.
for anyone who actually clicks on to this truth realises how depessing a revalation it seems until you realise its not that bad actually and how comical some things now seem
I dont expect anyone to agree with this short insight into my theory of life and dont care this is 100% clear to me and I can not beleive anyones faith is stronger
Ah, but johnny, your belief is just the same as any religious one, because it is based on faith alone: Faith that physics can ultimately describe life and thought, which at our present level of understanding it cannot.
As a scientist myself, I see as you have the hidden assumption in the original question (i.e. that life has a purpose). My view is that it seems a natural question because everything that we humans do has a purpose, but that does not guarantee that anything else in the universe does. If life is something given by an intelligence beyond ours then it would most likely have a purpose, but if as you suggest it results from the natural laws that exist within our universe, then it probably doesn't.
Whichever of those options you (or anyone) choose to adhere to is purely down to your own convictions, which in turn will be influenced by your upbringing and life experiences, but it cannot be based upon proof, because we cannot prove either way. My old university tutor used to say that that in itself is evidence of God's skillful design.
when you can explain life it's self , you will then know the purpose

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
All four of my children attended ND in the 90's and went on to graduate, with honors, from college. ND prepared them for academic success but also nurtured their need to give back to the community. They have been involved with Big Brothers/Big Sisters or volunteer in various organizations giving back much more than they receive. ND was the first school in the area to begin mandatory drug testing and they have always been 'pro-active' about this issue. Academic standards and communication between parents/teachers/staff has improved vastly since my children were here! Most teachers have always gone 'above and beyond' expectations and care about the student as well as educating them. I would highly recommend Notre Dame as an outstanding academic institution that fosters a love of Christ while also respecting others views.
As a parent of a current ND student, I would rate ND as top notch academically. As to the comments by the parent about ND being a party school, I do not see that. I am sure there are some circles of students that prefer to party and put education second; that is a choice the student makes. Is this not a life lesson?? While ND does promote its sports program, they also have a terrific theatre, band and choral program. My child participates in these & they are terrific & demanding in a good way. I also have to say that many of my child's teachers have gone above and beyond to ensure that my child succeeds. The key is that the child has to WANT to succeed and has to put their best foot forward; the teacher's cannot do the work for them.
As a graduate of Notre Dame High School, I can testify to the amazing preparation I received for college. Not only did the teachers care about my grades, but they also cared about me as a person. The school's goal is to create well-rounded individuals who are models of Christ to the world around them. Notre Dame is a Christian school, not just a 'private' school like other in our community. They exist in order to create a love of learning and a love for Christ and his Church. The class that I graduated with is now composed of doctors, a rocket scientist, a model, a record company exec in LA, and numerous others. They certainly prepare their students for whatever they want to do in life, but also focus on a love for their students!
I am a graduate of Notre Dame and I highly recommend this school. We are so fortunate to have a school like Notre Dame in the Chattanooga area. With its strong academics and arts programs there is a good blend for any student to find their niche. The sports are important part of the learning process as well. The principal is fantastic and the teachers are very dedicated.
In short, I don't recommend this school. The academics are strong. However, the teachers are not. If your child doesn't push themselves in school, the teachers certainly will not. Also, the arts programs are very very poor...if not nearly non-existant. The school places so much emphasis on sports that they basically neglect the visual and performing arts. This is also a HUGE party school. If your child is not a partier, they will be very unpopular at Notre Dame. The facilities are very weak for a private school. No tennis courts, no pool, no track, no dance room. In short, you do not receive the education that you pay for and expect from a private high school. I would recomment either getting your money's worth at a school like McCallie, Baylor, or GPS, or saving your money and sending your kid to a great magnet school like CCA or
Notre Dame prepared me for college and beyond. The teachers were very attentive and the AP classes (especially English) were great!

I'll say it once and I'll say it again: democrats and republicans are two sides of the same coin. They both represent the powerful and the elite in this country. Any argument to the contrary is simply not true. Why? Because if you look at the way both sides vote and look at the amount of money that lobbyists put into both parties, you will be unable to make any other conclusion, if you are being honest.
Therefore, things like the so-called '99% Spring' is simply an excercise in safe politics, with safe goals, and safe organizing, but the end result can only be failure. We must constantly remind ourselves that change is something that will come through the bottom up and that if we rely on the Democrats, or their activist wing move on, we will simply be used to shore up their political base.
We need to learn from mistakes of the past so we can avoid attrocity in the future.
Very true

That's why iPads exist — so somebody has their own screen to fart around with because some other selfish asshole is tying up the television and going on and on about how he needs it because it's research for the article he's writing.

I am sorry, I do not know the answer to your question. I will continue to look for an answer and let you know if I find out.
The pharmacy where I was getting the original formula adderall IR that WORKS has just stopped carrying it! So, I did call Barr pharmaceuticals, division of Teva, here in the US, in New Jersey, and spoke w/a very attentive and caring person who emphasized the importance of calling them! She said they don't read the message boards, that the ONLY way any change can occur is by us calling. I could tell she was VERY aware of the situation, said the new pills do have very different inactive ingredients, that it was a proprietary decision, etc. I told her these new pills are like the generics, and asked why in the world they would lower the bar (no pun intended) by basically making their name-brand medications exactly like their generics... Also Barr recalled their generic Adderall stock recently... Anyway, PLEASE CALL BARR/TEVA!! The call didn't take long, was answered immediately, and the woman w/whom I spoke REALLY seemed to care! I told her that not only did these 'new' pills not work, they also have a negative feel! I said they were ineffective and negative to the degree that I would rather take NOTHING than take them. So, here's the numbers and address and website again ~ PLEASE CALL THEM!!
suggest contacting Barr Pharmaceuticals regarding this change in brand name Adderall.
Barr Pharmaceuticals
i feel the same i take 4 30mg tabs a day the orange round suck the orange footballs r a little better but the pink round made byCorepharma r the best i hav had in the generic i hav no insurance only a familywise discount card i use at walgrees and 120 r 33.05 saving of 114.00 i stll want to try the real adderall because my tolerance is getting higher on all these Shire Manufacture makes the real adderall i am going to see if i can get a discount or even free from them. I hav been on these since 2003 and started with the xr i didn't like them.
very upset
I feel that the 2 Co. are illegally selling off the Generic as the Brand. Pharmacist said it has the same formula. NOT , I can tell the difference between the Brand vs Genetic. I will call Teva-Barr on Monday and give them a piece of me. Brand works better, lasts longer than the crappu Generic pills they are pushing on patients. The Generic pills do not last as long as the Brand. The FDA should ne notifide about what they are doing. Also tell the FDA Teva/Barr are pushing pharmacys to sell people the Generic. Someone is getting a big kick back. Also FDA should shut down ALL THE MAIL ORDER PHARMACYS, they always get the orders mixed up, your lost in the system, and the LIE BIG TIME. Now that is a CLASS A TION LAE SUTE.
Has anyone else had any allergic reaction to the new formula? I started getting hives about a month ago and I can't figure out why. I had allergy tests and they discovered that I am allergic to a lot of things, but nothing about my diet or living or working environment has changed, nor have any of my other medicines. Hives is listed as a possible side effect of Adderall, but I have been taking it for years and never had a problem before. Has anyone else found themselves itching since they started taking the new formula?
Original Adderall, by Shire Pharmaceuticals, is nothing more than a combination of 2 generic medications, but that combination was patentable, so a proprietary medication was born In 2009 the patents ran out and a Generic of original Adderall became available. Adderall instant-release is manufactured today by Teva and Barr Pharmaceuticals. The active ingredients of Adderall include a combination of equal parts dextroamphetamine and racemic DL-amphetamine salts.
Adderall XR consists of the following amphetamine compounds in equal proportions: dextroamphetamine saccharate, dextroamphetamine sulfate, racemic amphetamine aspartate monohydrate, and racemic amphetamine sulfate. Since the components metabolize at different rates, an XR claim is made. There are current legal actions in that regard.
By slightly changing the formulation, Shire Pharmaceuticals again patented a new, proprietary version Adderall. The new formulations is still made up of a new combination of generic drugs, but the new combination formula is also patentable.
It is all about money and profits. Your money and Pharmaceutical companies' profits. The new formulation Adderall is aggressively marketed through doctors, who then push it, and through media advertising. This is a common marketing ploy not exclusive to pharmaceutical companies. But the new formulations are sold at mush higher proprietary prices.
Caveat Emptor, Let The Buyer beware.
The "dp" imprint explanation can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adderall
In reality, any consumers with a mortar and pestle and capsule shells can illegally formulate their own Adderall or Adderall XR. But I don't recommend it.
I too am sufferring due to the changed formula. Headaches, feel crappy, completely ineffective! why would the government do this to so many that are suffering from this? We didnt ask to have ADD/ADHD. So why would they change something that was working so well for us? To save money? Seems like they will be paying alot more money to those who need these to focus etc...so we can work and pay our bills, feed our families.....Looks like its time for a class action Lawsuit!
no idea....trying to figure it out too....
i hope its a new stock -- I think there is a new company that makes it...and guess what? It was the company making the generics... not sure if its going to be the only one.
Also, found this posting More Walgreens Shadiness.
In any case, these pills are 'fake', my money went to waste and does not help with my problem.
This morning I spoke on the phone with an individual at Barr Pharmaceuticals' USA headquarters in Montvale, New Jersey with respect to Adderall. (Barr Pharmaceuticals, a division of Teva Pharmaceuticals, is the manufacturer of brand name Adderall. Barr also manufactures a generic version.)
The individual I spoke with confirmed that brand name Adderall does have a new, different formulation. She indicated that pharmacies might still have some stock of the old formulation - but as it runs out, it will be replaced by the new formulation. She indicated further that the original formulation will no longer be manufactured.
She stated that she would relay my concerns about the new formulation's "ineffectiveness" to the appropriate department within the company.
The new fomulation of Adderall is problematic because in my view, it does not work nearly as well as the original formulation. (And apparently I am not alone in my feeling that the new formulation has decreased efficacy compared to the original formulation.)
I suggest contacting Barr Pharmaceuticals regarding this change in brand name Adderall.
Barr Pharmaceuticals
I recently also got my RX filled , and noticed that there were two different imprints on the pills, one with the old AD on it and the other the dp mark or it also looks like a figure 8 with a slash through it .
I called the pharmacy to make sure these were the correct medication and they informed me that yes this was the new imprint for the Adderall pills.
I agree , that they do not work as well as the older pill . Wonder why they would change it without some type of notification a head of time , since this new formula has not helped me control my ADD symptons as well as the older formula.
I have no idea why the company would change the brand name formulation - apparently without any notice. And IMO the new formulation is nowhere nearly as effective as the old one. (Many others evidently feel the same way.) I think that changing the brand name formulation of an obviously important medicine is not only outrageous, but highly irresponsible.
Also, I'm surprised that there's so little information on the internet and elsewhere about this change in brand name Adderall - but perhaps that's because the new formulation is just beginning to get to the pharmacies. As more and more people who rely on this medicine experience the new formulation, I think that there will be more information about it - and many more people highly displeased about it.
I completely agree! The new pills do not work near as good as the old pills. I will catch myself just staring off, and have a VERY hard time staying on task, even shortly after I take my pills. I have also oticed that I have become more nervous...constantly biting my nails. It sucks! There is a reason that my doctor ask for brand name only (on my prescriptions), and I kind of feel like I have been cheated by the drug industry. If anyone has any more information reguarding the change in the medication, please e-mail me and let me know.
Wow Ya thats exactly how I feel. My doctor writes brand medically necessary on my prescription each month because the generic has never really worked (I could tell a huge difference with the generic). And now I go and get my prescription filled at Walgreens and I noticed the new dp on the back, this is the second time I've gotten this dp pill and it NEVER works as well as the one with AD. The dp is just like the generic that my doctor did not want me taking, this is such crap.
I agree with all of you.I called teva,Barr and they were interested in what I had to say,but??Do not go to main Street haverehill that pharmacist tried to sell me generic 3 X.I got sick and I have an awefull reaction,headaches etc.She insisted it was brand name two times.I just recently got a new perc. for brand name and I again have a different pill.Orange,round and shinny,20 mg with dp on one side and 20 on the other.Again nothing like the Shire brand that they do not make anymore.We should start a petition and go directly to Shire/Teva for answers on WHY they changed the formula;and why we were not informed.Why did they change something that worked???
Barr told me the same thing...the formula has changed, but I find it funny that every pharmacy that I have talked to about this says that the pills are the same, just a different manufacturer. The man I spoke to at Barr told me that I could be seeing a difference in the way the medicine makes me feel due to an adverse reaction (to one of the other medications that I am taking). But, I am not taking any different medications.
My mom spoke to one pharmacy that told her that in order for a drug company to change the formula, it has to be approved by the FDA, so how come nobody knows about this except the company that makes it???
My suggestion to those of you that are seeing a difference in the way the "new" pills are making you feel is to contact the FDA and file a report at http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/HowToReport/ucm053074.htm . Hope this helps!
I also think that it's a great idea to contact the FDA about this change in brand name Adderall IR. The more of us that do so, the better our chances of making an impact.
Here's another link; it's a list of FDA telephone numbers for complaints: http://www.fda.gov/Safety/ReportaProblem/ConsumerComplaintCoordinators/default.htm

The Adderall with the DP print on it are total crap.... They are the same as generic, bottom line is do not waste your money on the real AD's..... The generic AD's have a very speedy feeling where you can not focus.... The original adderall's would allow you to have a consisitant focus and concertration through out the day.
There is another generic company (Eon labs owned by Sandoz owned by Novartis who manufacture brand ritalin) who make adderall generic. I switched to it and its awesome.
here is the link for details:
I for one,take Adderall 20 mg,and have noticed the change. The AD formula is the ONLY brand adderall, which was made by Shire(DSM). The formula with dp on the back was put out by Duramed, a subsidiary of Barr, and it is a Generic.The other formula of Adderall 20 mg, has b/973 on back ,2/0 on front is in fact another Generic put out by Barr. Teva pharmacuiticals has bought out Barr/Duramed, and they plan on putting the b/973 20mg tablets out as their Brand name Adderall. I have hard copy proof of this info and may be using it against Teva.
I suggest you contact major media (CBS, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, Fox News, NPR and PBS) to report Teva's actions. Everyone needs to know how Teva has taken advantage of patients by selling what is supposed to be the name brand formula of Adderall, but in truth is the same formula as the generic, which has proved to be ineffective for many patients needing this medication. What's more, they are hiking the price of this product beyond belief! This is an outrage! The FDA may not control price, but they are responsible for approving the formulations in these products and making sure the pharmaceutical companies are honest and accurate in disclosing information about their formulations.
Everyone of us should be well informed about the medications we take. If we let big companies like Teva can take advantage of us, all will suffer.
I am very interested in this hard copy proof of this infor to use against Teva. My email: email@example.com and email@example.com
I have phone or address if needed. Thank you so much.
I am taking 'Adderal Brand' from Barr Laboratories. I believe this is their generic formula. I have taken this same pill before (light blue),when I was trying generic pills to save money.
I did not do well on the generic adderall. But I do very well on the Brand Adderrall ( a dark blue, pill). What Barr Laboratories is selling now ($225.00) is a generic formula (light blue).
Now here is my question Does anyone know where I could go to have these pills tested? I want to know what is in them!
I've been reading about these issues on different venues on the net and am just wondering the following: Wouldn't taking brand name XR Adderall, opening up the capsule, crushing the beads and making two doses out of, for example, a 20mg capsule be equivalent to having two brand name IR doses? Or is that fallacious logic?
In answer to your question, you would have to take the medication to a chemical laboratory for testing to determine the exact chemical formulation and then compare it to the original formulation made previously by Shire. The chemical lab would have to answer your question as to whether two capsules would be equivalent to one capsule. In other words, a pharmaceutical trained expert or possibly a compound pharmacist would have to answer your question regarding chemical composition of the brand name Adderall versus the generic formulation. I do understand your desperation to regain daily function and quality of life. Unfortunately, the FDA forces us to find our own solutions to medication formulary changes in order to maintain our health because it fails to properly regulate what happens to proven medication formularies once the original patent expires. As fellow Americans thrown into a healthcare system in which consumers are victims and pawns, it is no surprise that pharmaceutical company profits take precedence over human life.... and insurance company greed that demands consumers pay higher prescription plan premiums for prescription plans that limit plan coverage to second-rate generic medications.
I complained to TEVA/Barr Pharmaceutical regarding the ineffectiveness of the new Adderall 20mg IR formulation and asked whether it was the same formulation as the generic formulation it also manufactures. TEVA/Barr corfirmed that since the formulation change two or three years ago when it acquired the Adderall formulation rights from Shire, the brand Adderall 20mg IR tablets (that I am paying $225 for each month) that it now manufactures is identical to its TEVA/Barr's generic formulation (that I could purchase for $50). Sadly, I've been paying the high cost of a brand medication that is the same drug sold as a generic drug that doesn't work for me and TEVA/Barr told me it will not revert back to the old Adderall formulation Shire used to make. I was also told that the FDA approved TEVA/Barr's formulation change, and is aware the company sells the same formulation as both brand and generic Adderall, which to me, is alarming. There is not another medication that targets the hypothalmus gland, controls my symptoms, and allows me to function somewhat normally like the orginal formulation I started taking in 2003. It is sad that the government's watchdog agency expresses such indifference regarding this Adderall formulation issue, yet enforces its classification as a government controlled substance. The FDA obviously fails to control formulation changes that affect people's lives. What agency will protect those Americans that require a specific medication to maintain their health and daily function? What government agency will ensure brand name drugs maintain its original formulation and eliminate changes to formulations forced on an unsuspecting public once patents run out? The FDA mandates pharmaceutical companies conduct multiple levels of drug trials and years of research before it approves its release to consumers, yet fails to require the same drug trials when formulations are changed and sold under the same brand name. Evidently, the FDA doesn't even require that pharmaceutical companies notify physicians prescribing the medication, the patients taking the medication, and the pharmacists dispensing the medication that a formulation change has occurred, especially a medication that targets the brain. Despite the number of complaints to TEVA/Barr and the FDA, the voice of fellow American Adderall users remains unheard. Why does the FDA insist that Adderall remain a government controlled substance when the agency fails to control its original formulation and the years of research and development that support its use and its effectiveness? These are all questions I would like answered by the agency that dictates my quality of life but has no regard for it.
Thank you everyone that has commented on the ineffectiveness of the new brand Adderall. I too have felt cheated after paying $225 for a brand name medication that fails to work any better than the generic formulation. Although I discussed this issue with my doctor and pharmacist, no one seemed to take my complaints seriously and certainly never told me the brand formulation had changed. I also want to have the brand Adderall pills tested. The FDA has failed all of us that depend on this medication to function each day. It is difficult to accept that two years has passed since it was first brought to the attention of the FDA and TEVA/Barr Pharmaceuticals and nothing has been done to remedy this issue.

Republic's Hawaii Venture Advances
Republic Airlines injected another $2.5 million into its partnership with Hawaii's Mokulele Airlines on May 1 and this month plans to send a fourth Embraer E170 to the islands as it stages a more serious effort to raise its profile in the market. This past March Republic demoted former Mokulele CEO Bill Boyer to head of sales and marketing and installed its own vice president for strategic alliances, Scott Durgin, as interim CEO. Republic became half owner in the company, which also flies four Cessna Caravans, when it converted into equity $3 million of an $8 million loan to the Hawaiian airline and invested another $3 million in cash. "We
are fully committed to the Mokulele operation," said Republic CEO Bryan Bedford last month. "We're very encouraged by the revenue build that we're seeing
and the traction that we're gaining with airline partners, distribution channels and the wholesalers."

A friend of mine just bought a new house and she's all excited to move in. Prior to that, she's been looking for houses built with steel frame cos she's that sort of love steel buildings. I guess steel buildings offer a sense of strength and stability in their structures.
In no time, we would be shopping for a new house of our own when we move in less than two years' time. Apart from the excitement, I look forward to new opportunities and a fresh start in a new country. Though this is year of uncertainty for many people, I believe that it can also be turned into a year of opportunity if you seek for it. Keep looking. Be hopeful.

text: A couple years ago I asked my grandmother if I could take Grampa's old mustang that my cousin was fixing up out for a spin. It was the car my mother and uncle grew up driving in southern Washington state on super windy roads. I grabbed the key and went to the garage. My younger cousin and I hopped into the car. I slid the key in and took a deep breath. I turned the key and… it tried to start, but it wouldn't turn over. I tried it a couple more times and then looked up to see my uncle chuckling in the corner. He said "let me show you how it's done". I was 22 at the time and had no idea that you had to pump the gas a few times to get gas flowing into the engine. He got it started and I hopped back in. I took my cousin out for a spin… I had no idea this would be the first time I was driving a car without power steering (it hadn't occurred to me), nor did I expect my braking would skid the car at the stop signs. I stalled it twice and brought it back into the garage. That was the greatest car I've ever driven, and I'm a valet driver in Los Angeles.

Hai Boxer! I rarely watch Iron Chef but I do like watching the old Japanese episodes that are slightly mysogynistic. (ever notice how stupid and insipid the woman's commentator's comments are? All she says is "ooh" and "wonder what he's making?" while the men all offer up their opinions. Cracks me up!) I look forward to hearing about your deconstructed, er, remodeled, caramel apples, as long as it's well plated! (don't forget the deconstructed potato skins!)
Aunty, thank you, doesn't seem quite fair that I get to do this for a living, does it?
Cheers, Velva! Some of the best cocktail combos were made with mango/chile and the flavored teas!

Open the Market to Competition
Providing wind coverage in coastal areas is essentially a no-win situation for insurers, and as a result the majority of wind policies have shifted to state-run insurers of last resort.
The captive insurance companies being proposed by Alabama State Revenue Commissioner Tim Russell to help cover coastal homeowners are in reality residual insurance companies — private companies that are heavily subsidized by the state government and whose risk of loss is assumed by every taxpayer.
Residual markets erode the private market and have generally pushed consumers toward state-run companies, which were created to be insurers of last resort.
While the goal of restarting the real estate market is important, subsidizing the construction and coverage of new homes in coastal areas vulnerable to wind and flood damage is both irresponsible and unfair to homeowners who build in safer areas.
The correct path to sustained growth in the insurance market is the opening of Alabama's market to competition.

Adam had hoped to have time alone with his sweetheart, Rebecca, but December snow is falling hard and the poorly clothed, hungry boys need his help.

Being an only son is not a position Adam wants to give up, not does he want to share Rebecca's affection with the older boy. But being a Grayson man means doing what's right no matter the cost. While struggling to protect his place as an only son, will Adam lose what he wants most—to become a man of honor and integrity like his father and uncles?
