Global business leaders have been warned of a ?carbon bubble? that will pop as nations accelerate their move into renewable energy and send the value of coal miners and other fossil fuel industries tumbling.
Paul Gilding, an Australian environmental activist and former head of Greenpeace, told the opening of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) that Asia was leading a drive into solar and other renewable energy sources that would leave countries dependent on coal exposed.
It will be ?game over for coal? as the price of solar photovoltaic panels collapses, said Mr Gilding ahead of Wednesday?s speech in Seoul.
Australia?s plans to ramp up its coal exports would probably not be realised as international efforts to limit the emissions of greenhouse gases add to the technological advances already under way, he said.
?I don?t think that [export expansion] is going to take place because the world?s going to move away from coal before we get there,? he said.
Overnight Tuesday, Scotland set a goal of meeting half its electricity demand from renewable sources by 2015, up from 35 per cent last year. It aims to get all its power from clean sources by 2020. Other countries, including from the European Union to China and South Korea, are stepping up efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
Members of the WBCSD include global business giants such as Toyota, General Electric, BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Shell. Wednesday?s meeting was expected to include addresses by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and South Korean President Lee Myung-bak.
?Radical? shift
Mr Gilding author of ?The Great Disruption,? said his invitation to speak at the event reflected a shift taking place in business circles. ?My message would have been too radical for them five years ago, whereas now it?s sort of the centrepiece of the opening,? he said.
Companies and nations now have to cope with environmental constraints at a time when the health of the global economy was already weak, he said.
?The global economy is in serious trouble, trapped between debt and growth,? he said, according to the notes of his speech.? If we grow successfully, our resource and climate challenges will break us. If we don?t grow our debt will break us.?
Events such as Hurricane Sandy ? which has left a damage bill of as much as $US45 billion for the northeastern US this week ? highlights the point that ?mother nature doesn?t negotiate?, he told the gathering.
Mr Gilding said as many as half of those in the audience ?won?t make it? because their businesses were tied to industries, such as fossil fuels, that won?t make the changes needed.
?We know from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research that to reduce the risk of crossing that two-degree (Celsius) threshold to around 20 per cent ? to give us an 80 per cent chance of not spiralling out of control ? gives us a carbon budget,? Mr Gilding said. ?On current forecasts the entire budget ? for burning coal, oil and gas ? will be consumed in a little over a decade.
?That will then leave around three-quarters of all the currently known, economically recoverable reserves unable to be burnt, reserves that are today the key assets of listed companies.
?Just consider the consequences when the markets realise that financial carbon bubble could burst.?
Australia is the world?s largest coal exporter, with the product behind only iron ore in generating export revenue, according to the Australian Coal Association?s website. Thermal coal exports are projected to rise from 162 million tonnes to 271 million tonnes by 2017, while coking coal exports are on course to rise to 218 million tonnes by 2017, the website said.
According to James Hansen, head of NASA?s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, known coal reserves alone hold about 600 gigatons of carbon, of which about one quarter have been burnt.
Big winners, losers
Mr Gilding said: ?We?re now at a point where business interests are no longer aligned amongst the business community. There are going to be big winners and big losers.?
He singled out global food producer Unilever as one company that was repositioning itself to ensure its supply chain could withstand increased competition for scarce resources.
Mr Gilding said governments would also see advantage in diversifying their energy sources as they struggle to lower unemployment rates: ?A US study found new renewable energy generation would create three times as many jobs per dollar invested as fossil fuels do.?
Government interest, though, may also come from their militaries. Mr Gilding said armed forces from Singapore to Germany and the US were aware of increased competition for water, food and other scarce resources ? issues likely to be made worse by climate change.
?It is a major issue of geopolitical power,? he said.
Technology may drive some of the change. If China dominates solar power, for instance, it would take away a major source of income for the Middle East, which is already an unstable region.
Mr Gilding said the keen interest from armed forces showed such issues are no longer fears confined to environmentalists: ?It?s a very good indicator that the issue has reached a different stage.?

Ludwig von Mises was one of the inspirations of Austrian economics in the United States.
It can be argued that the last century has been a battle of two economic ideologies. On one side is the centrally planned government focused Keynesians. On the other is the free market, individual, hands off focus from the Austrian economics. One of the greatest influencers of Austrian economics was Ludwig von Mises. Mises was born and grew up in Austria. He left his homeland Austria to escape the Nazis who took over his beloved Austria. He settled in the United States where he continued his economic work.
A lot of his work in America was a repudiation of the Nazi economic ideology. National Socialism or the Nazi's was a form of socialism. It was similar to pure socialism in that the state controlled most of the means of production. Mises was the complete opposite. He believed in free markets with the state for the most part not involved in the contorl or ownership of the means of production.
If Americs is not careful, a form of socialism can take control.
Isn't it ironic, that as we approach the 40th anniversary of Mises death, that socialism and it's ugly effects are being felt in America. The economic fight is no longer against the Nazis. The fight here in America is internal. If the socialist win, you may see future Mises fleeing America for more freeer pastures.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Hurricane Sandy blew the presidential race off course on Sunday even before it came ashore, forcing Republican Mitt Romney to shift his campaign inland and fueling fears that the massive storm bearing down on the East Coast could disrupt early voting.
As much of the heavily populated region braced for what could be the largest storm to ever hit the U.S. mainland, Romney re-routed his campaigning from Virginia to Ohio, another of the handful of battleground states that will decide the outcome of the November 6 election.
Juggling both his re-election attempt and efforts to stay on top of the hurricane's impact, President Barack Obama was due to visit the government's storm-response center in Washington before traveling to Florida for a campaign event. The storm has forced Obama to reschedule events on Monday and Tuesday.
Officials in the path of the storm scrambled to ensure that extended power outages would not disrupt the early voting that appears to be more important than ever for both sides this year.
"Obviously we want unfettered access to the polls because we believe that the more people that come out, the better we'll do," top Obama adviser David Axelrod said on CNN. "I hope that it all clears out and by the next weekend, we'll be free of it."
Republican Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, a prominent Romney supporter, said the swing state plans to extend early voting hours and restore power quickly to voting facilities in the event of outages.
"It's now a priority, moved up to the same level as hospitals and police stations, to have power restored" at voting facilities, he said.
The looming storm threw another note of uncertainty into a race that remains a statistical dead heat. Political scientists believe natural disasters can hurt an incumbent's re-election chances as voters often blame whoever is in office for adversity.
Larry Bartels of Vanderbilt University and Christopher Achen of Princeton University examined rainfall data back to 1896 and found that extreme droughts or floods cost the incumbent party office holders an average of 1.5 percentage points of the vote total.
Severe drought and excessive rainfall probably cost then Vice President Al Gore victories in seven states in the 2000 election, enough to hand the contest to Republican George W. Bush, they found.
Bush's approval ratings plummeted after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005, and voters could similarly blame Obama if the government fumbles its response to this storm.
But there are also dangers for Romney who will have to be careful to avoid being seen as politicizing the disaster. His campaign's hasty response to the attacks on U.S. diplomatic missions in the Middle East in September was widely criticized.
MOST VOTERS HAVE MADE UP THEIR MINDS
The vast majority of voters have made up their minds at this point, and nearly one in five have already cast their ballots. But the storm could throw a wrench in the campaigns' efforts to drive voters to the polls in the final days before the election.
Opinion polls show the race to be essentially tied at the national level, but Obama retains a slim advantage in many of the battleground states that will decide the election.
A Washington Post poll released on Sunday found Obama leading Romney by 51 percent to 47 percent in Virginia, just outside the poll's margin of error.
In Ohio, a poll by a group of newspapers found the two tied at 49 percent each. Other polls have shown Obama ahead there.
Republicans argue that Romney has the advantage at this point because he has narrowed the gap since the beginning of October.
"When you have the momentum and you're a challenger in a tie race, the challenger wins," Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Preibus said on CNN.
Democrats point to the high level of early voting among supporters as evidence that Obama is in good shape.
"That's a sign that there is momentum behind the president's re-election, there is energy on the ground. We're a little over a week out, and we're confident," Obama campaign adviser Stephanie Cutter said on ABC's "This Week."
Romney received the endorsement of Iowa's largest newspaper, the Des Moines Register, which has not backed a Republican since 1972. He also won the endorsement of newspapers in Richmond and Cincinnati.
Obama won the endorsement of newspapers in Miami, Detroit and Toledo, Ohio, as well as The New York Times.

BEIRUT (AP) ? The U.N. Security Council gave unanimous backing Wednesday to a four-day truce proposed by the international mediator for Syria to mark a major Muslim holiday after he warned that the failure of yet another cease-fire plan would only worsen the fighting.
Yet even this modest effort ? the international community's only plan for scaling back the violence ? appears doomed.
Previous cease-fire missions have failed, in part because neither Syrian President Bashar Assad nor rebels trying to topple him had an incentive to end their bloody war of attrition. Both sides believe they can still make gains on the battlefield even as they are locked in a stalemate, and neither has faith in negotiations on a political transition.
Lakhdar Brahimi, the U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria, has proposed that both sides lay down their arms during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, which begins Friday.
The Security Council is normally divided on Syria, but Assad allies Russia and China joined other council members in endorsing the idea of a temporary truce that is meant to pave the way for talks on ending Syria's 19-month-old conflict.
The response on the ground ranged from lukewarm to downright rejection. Syrian government officials said they were still studying the idea, while Syria's political opposition said it was skeptical of the regime's promises. A rebel commander dismissed the plan as irrelevant and a radical Islamist group fighting alongside the rebels said it won't comply with any truce.
As Brahimi briefed the Security Council, the death toll since the start of the conflict in March 2011 crossed the threshold of 35,000, activists said, and more violence was reported across the country.
Two car bombs killed at least eight bus passengers in the capital Damascus and 12 regime soldiers near a military checkpoint in the north, while regime airstrikes on villages near a besieged army base killed 12 civilians, activists said. They also posted a video showing at least 13 bodies laid out Wednesday in a room in a Damascus suburb, some of them women and children. Each side blamed the other for the deaths.
Brahimi told the Security Council by video conference from Cairo that he hopes a truce will allow humanitarian aid to reach war-stricken areas and start transition talks, said U.N. diplomats who spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting was private.
However, months of horrific bloodshed and deep distrust between the combatants make it unlikely they will embark on the path outlined by Brahimi. The Syrian opposition says it won't negotiate unless Assad resigns, something the Syrian leader refuses to do.
"The Syrian regime throughout its reign and up until now signs everything but violates everything," Haitham Maleh, a veteran Syrian opposition leader, said after he and others met with Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby in Cairo.
Maleh said there is concern the regime would exploit a cease-fire to take back rebel-held territory. The opposition will not accept any political solution that does not include Assad leaving his post, he said.
Brahimi has served as envoy since September, taking over from former U.N. chief Kofi Annan, who quit after failing to end the Syria fighting. Annan had pushed a six-point plan, including an April 12 cease-fire that was to lead to transition talks but never took hold.
Annan's successor has been blunt about the difficulty of his assignment, trying to lower expectations. He suggested Wednesday that even the holiday truce is a gamble, saying that failure could make the situation in Syria even worse, according to the U.N. diplomat.
Still, the international community has little else to offer. There is no appetite for military intervention, while harsher U.N. action against the regime has been blocked by Russia and China, two Security Council members with veto powers.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said she supports Brahimi's cease-fire so that "Syrians could celebrate in peace."
"We'd like to see the violence come to an end, there's no doubt about this, and we'd like to see a political transition take hold and begin. We've been calling for that for more than a year," she added.
Few of those involved in the conflict appeared ready to commit to a truce.
Abdelbaset Sieda, head of the main opposition group in exile, the Syrian National Council, said rebel fighters would hold their fire during the holiday unless attacked by regime forces. However, his group has no control over rebels fighting on the ground.
Rebel commander Zahran Aloush of the al-Islam brigade outside of Damascus said he's ignoring truce efforts. "How can I expect a cease-fire from a regime that has never given us anything, ever," he said via Skype.
The al-Qaida-linked group Jabhat al-Nusra, which fights with the rebels and has claimed a number of large suicide bombings against regime targets, said it will not lay down arms.
"There will be no truce between us and the prideful regime and shedder of the blood of Muslims," the group said in statement posted on militant websites. "We are not among those who allow the wily to trick us, nor are we ones who will accept to play these filthy games."
In Damascus, Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdessi said the truce proposal was still "being studied" by Syrian army leaders and that Syria's decision would be announced Thursday.
Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin told reporters after the Security Council meeting that his country had received indications from Syria it would abide by a cease-fire.
Brahimi hasn't said how compliance would be monitored. Annan's truce plan was more comprehensive, calling for an open-ended truce, a pullback of troops and heavy weapons from urban centers and supervision by U.N. monitors.
In Wednesday's violence, 20 people were found dead in a building in the Damascus suburb of Douma, said local activist Mohammed Saeed, speaking via Skype. The dead included 10 women and four children, he said.
An amateur video posted online showed bodies scattered on the landings of a stairwell and sprawled out on tile floors. Among the bodies were those of two young boys, one with a hole in his head, and a woman. A thick stream of blood flowed from a doorway. Another video showed 13 bodies wrapped in blankets and laid out in two rows.
The videos matched activist descriptions of the event, but because Syria imposes tight restrictions on foreign journalists, their authenticity could not be independently verified.
The state-run news agency SANA quoted the Foreign Ministry as saying that 25 people were killed in Douma on Wednesday and that they were victims of a massacre carried out by "armed terrorists," the regime's term for opposition fighters.
Also Wednesday, Russia's chief military officer said Syrian rebels have acquired portable air defense missiles, including U.S.-made Stinger missiles. In remarks carried by Russian news agencies, Gen. Nikolai Makarov didn't say how many such missiles the rebels had and who supplied them.
A Syrian rebel told The Associated Press in Turkey that the insurgents obtained dozens of shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, but would not say who provided them.
The Syrian opposition has urged its foreign backers to send heavy weapons, saying rebel fighters cannot break the stalemate as long as Assad can bomb them from the air. However, the Obama administration has refused to do so, saying the weapons might fall into the wrong hands and eventually be used against the U.S. and its allies.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland denied that the U.S. has provided any Stingers to Syrian rebels. She challenged Russia to provide evidence suggesting otherwise.

Today Nuance kicked off the beta for a new app called Dragon Mobile Assistant. It lets users talk to their phones in a natural human voice for a variety of tasks, including booking calendar appointments, dictating messages, updating Facebook and Twitter, getting GPS directions, finding businesses, and checking the weather. It even has an S-voice style audio wake-up command so you don't have to press a button to initiate a query. Sure, Personal Assistant has a lot in common with Dragon Go, but this is packaged in a way to more directly offer an Android version of Siri.
Nuance is in a good spot for launching a voice activated personal assistant given its pedigree (especially now that they've acquired Vlingo), but it's hardly the only show in town. A small start-up called Maluuba has a very sharp-looking app that focuses on specific silos of content. Of course Samsung's S-voice is an option on pretty much all of their newer phones, plus the latest version of voice search built into Jelly Bean can handle a lot. There's Evi, though it wasn't particularly great the last time we used it.
Dragon Personal Assistant is free, but it's only available in English in the U.S. for devices running Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0. They're expecting to launch more broadly before the end of the year, at least. Which voice-activated personal assistant do you use on Android? Are there any that are fast enough to be more practical than just typing in a query or manually navigating to something on your device? How do you think these options stack up against what's available on iOS?

Apple not only released the iPad mini but also a brand new iPad 4 to sit on top of the tablet food chain. It's got the new Apple A6X processor, the new Qualcomm international LTE radio, and the new Lightning connector.
Does that chance the comparison much when it comes to the competition? Absolutely but not entirely. Google is rumored to be introducing a new Nexus 10 (made by Samsung, no less) as soon as next week. That's make for a much better comparison than the only current Nexus tablet, which is more in between an iPod touch and iPad mini in size and focus. Amazon has also just released the Kindle Fire 8 HD which now includes cellular data as an option -- though it won't be available in many countries regardless.
Microsoft's Surface RT is a wildcard here. Microsoft calls it no-compromises but that just means they punted the decision making to me, the consumer. I'm taking a wait and see attitude. It could be as great as the Xbox, or as doomed as the Zune. There's just no way to tell until it's been out for a while and the use case becomes clearer.
Likewise, while there have been rumors of a larger BlackBerry PlayBook for a while now, RIM is wisely concentrating on getting BB10 out the door, so I doubt we'll see it for a while. That leaves the 7-inch PlayBook at their only entrant in the tablet space, but you can find them for $149 and at that price, if you don't have a couple hundred dollars more, it's quite the value.
Still, Apple has sold 100,000,000 iPads to date, and that's an incredible amount for a product that launched in March of 2010. What they'll do next is a big question, but the iPad 4 is a better iPad, again, and anyone who wants to unseat it has their work cut out for them.

Sports Stars And Endorsements
There are many different types of sport out there. Some activities that are classified as sports, would best be described as recreation, such as billiards, skateboarding, surfing and playing broomball. Yup, you read right, broomball. Grownups on an ice rink, playing hockey with brooms and a ball. All in the name of sports. Some do it for recreational purposes,Nike Dunk Mid, others compete in it and that is where you get the professionals.
The sports stars generate an income out of their endorsement deals, and they endorse a while variety of products, not just sports equipment. Some sports stars actually get paid more for their endorsements than they earn from their sport.
Tony Hawk is a famous skate boarder. He invented more than eighty skate board tricks and competed in 103 contests, more or less, winning seventy-three and placing second in nineteen. He quit competing in 1999 after landing the first-ever ?900?hich is two-and-a-half mid-air spins on the board. He endorsed quite a few skateboarding products, including: Activision, Quiksilver, Birdhouse, Hawk Clothing Co., Swatch, Adio Shoes, Fury Skateboard Trucks, Arnette Sunglasses, Jones Soda, TechDeck miniature skateboard toys, Club Med, Bagel Bites, TSG Helmets, Hot Wheels miniature cars, and EXPN.
The famous Williams sisters,Air Jordan Comfort Max 11, Venus and Serena, both signed endorsement contracts with sports shoe companies. Venus with Reebok and Serena with Nike.
David Beckham is famous as a soccer player, and he not only has endorsement deals with sports clothing companies, but also with Gillette, Adidas, Vodafone and Pepsi. That however wasn enough for our Mr. Beckham, he had to go and develop his own fragrances brand.
Who doesn know who Michael Jordan is? For those who are really ignorant or have had their heads in the sand like an ostrich the last couple of decades, Michael Jordan is a well known professional basketball player from the USA. One of his well known endorsements, is for Nike Air sports shoes. His other endorsements include: Wheaties cereal, Ballpark Franks,Gatorade,Hanes underwear, Rayovac batteries and Bijan fragrances.
Why do sports stars endorse certain products? Accepted insight affirms that getting a celebrity endorsement is a tried-and-tested way to maximize advertising success. A sports star should really show their confidence in a product which they endorse. Is that what is happening? Or sometimes it is the other way around.
After Tiger Wood sex scandal, several of his endorsing companies cancelled on him. Before that, he endorsed huge names like Tag Heyer, AT&T, Gillette, Accenture, Nike and others. It was a tough time for Woods, and the income he lost from the cancellation of some these companies hit him bad. If you live in the public eye, you should be prepared to be under constant scrutiny by fans and enemies alike. Some would say that he was a fool to have been found out, but fact of the matter is, the damage is done.
Whatever product a sports star endorses, they should have total confidence in it and keep on advertising it for as long as their contract is binding.

TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) ? A New Jersey woman who says her 9-year-old daughter was bullied took matters into her own hands and confronted one of the students she says harassed the girl. Now, the mother is facing assault charges, even though she denied touching or hitting anyone.
Rebecca Sardoni and her mother boarded a school bus Friday morning bound for East Dover Elementary School, looking for a boy they claimed had been bullying her daughter on the bus.
From that point, there are conflicting versions of what happened next.
Several students on the bus said Rebecca Sardoni then cursed at the boy and slapped him and a boy seated next to him while her mother yelled at the two boys, Toms River Police Chief Michael G. Mastronardy told The Asbury Park Press.
Rebecca Sardoni, 28, of Toms River, and her mother, 51-year-old Stephanie Sardoni, of Beachwood, were arrested Friday and released on summonses. Rebecca Sardoni is charged with simple assault, criminal trespass and making terroristic threats. Stephanie Sardoni is charged with criminal trespass.
Rebecca Sardoni told The Associated Press on Sunday that she regretted boarding the bus, but she denied touching or hitting anyone.
"I was upset. I wasn't crazy woman upset," she said. "I don't put my hands on my own kids. I would have never put my hands on anyone's kid."
Sardoni said her daughter is upset and nervous about going to school Monday. She said she's considering sending her daughter to a new school but knows for sure that the girl won't be taking the bus anymore.
"It's crazy that this got blown into me doing something wrong ? me and my family ? when this is my daughter that is the victim," Sardoni told the AP.
Sardoni said she took matters into her own hands after school officials ignored complaints that her daughter, who is also in fourth-grade, had been verbally and physically bullied by four students. She said her mother merely stood at the front of the bus with the driver.
School officials couldn't be reached Sunday by the AP.
The boys were treated by nurses from Toms River Regional Schools for cuts to their mouths. One of the boys was taken by his parents to a local hospital for treatment of a neck injury, Mastronardy said.
The stepfather of one of the boys ? who have not been named because of their ages ? told the newspaper his stepson had a cut on his lip after Rebecca Sardoni slammed his head against the bus window.

The following is condensed from an article by Joyce Mitchell. Now retired, Joyce served as the staff Leadership Development Team team leader for WMU, a one-million member nonprofit organization. She is a graduate of Wayne State University and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. She remains busy in her retirement, writing, traveling and volunteering.
In 2000, approximately 605 million people in the world were 60 or older. By 2050, that number is expected to be close to 2 billion. At that time, seniors will outnumber children 14 and under for the first time in history.[1]
The information below is designed to guide your launch of a ministry that connects with seniors.
Who are seniors?
Who seniors have been all their lives and how they have dealt with problems before old age will largely determine what they are like after they reach old age. Seniors face a laundry list of ?adjustments? as they mature, which may include:
Obviously, these serious issues will stimulate questions such as: How can we help seniors maintain an appropriate level of independence? How can we bring comfort and relief to these men and women? How can we share the good news of Jesus Christ with them, whether in health or sickness?
Of course, there have been significant paradigm shifts in how senior adults are viewed within the church.[2] Once, church leaders might have felt the need to focus solely on ministry to senior adults. Today, seniors are known to be significant contributors in ministry to others as well. Who better to lead a ministry to seniors than seniors?
Those who are most successful in working with seniors are often characterized by
What needs exist in our community?
Community agencies are often the most knowledgeable about seniors. Consider contacting:
Ask:
Also, consider a field trip to a nearby nursing home, observing the activities there and perhaps having a meal with the patients. If there is a day-care center in your community, spend the day there observing and talking with the members. Visit a seniors? activity meeting sponsored by the recreation department.
Contact other church groups in your community to discover what they are doing for and with senior adults.
A survey of your own church will identify retired persons who might be included in planning for ministering to and with seniors. Tap into skills that they have that might be resources in meeting needs of other senior adults.
Finally, do not overlook informal contacts such as neighbors and elderly members of their families as you seek to discover senior adults and learn about their needs.
What does a plan include?
The scale of your plan should reflect the number of volunteers on your team as well as the resources at your disposal. Plans generally fall into one of several categories:
Person-to-person activities such as visitation are among the most important, least expensive and hardest-to-get services for seniors. Friendly visitors alleviate loneliness and provide meaningful contact in the lives of senior adults. Consider other activities such as
Each of these is an expression of caring and Christ?s love.
Nursing home ministries are best conducted in close cooperation with whomever is in charge at the facility. Consider
Often the nursing home staff will have suggestions for activities that are popular with the residents.
Ongoing activitiesare characterized by the need for cooperation of a group of people.
Typical ministries might include
Group activities may occur in small groups, and have the potential for expansion to large group programs. Consider making recreation the focus of the small group.
Senior Day Care consists of offering a program of activities that meet the needs and desires of senior adults. Such a ministry involves
Counseling senior adults demands availability rather than professional counseling credentials. Valuable to this ministry are
Ongoing Learning
Ministry with seniors is enhanced as those involved grow in their understanding of and commitment to the audience. Following are a few suggested subjects for training.
Psychological Aspects of Senior Adults
Community Services for Seniors
Understanding Social Security and Medicare
Involving Seniors in the Total Community
Visiting Nursing Home residents

London, Oct 21
Seniors gorging on a carb rich diet are four times more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment -- an early warning of Alzheimer's disease, shows a new research.
The research from the prestigious Mayo Clinic in America has found that risks are similar with a diet high in sugar. On the other hand, proteins and fats appear to offer some protection -- people who consumed plenty of them are less likely to suffer cognitive decline.
Not everyone with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) develops Alzheimer's disease, but many do, said Rosebud Roberts, professor of epidemiology at the Mayo Clinic, who led the study.
High-carb diets may play a role in the development of beta amyloid plaques, proteins found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's, the Daily Mail reported.
MCI is defined as memory loss apparent to the individual and those around them, but with an absence of other dementia symptoms such as changes in personality and mood.
There are currently 800,000 people with dementia in Britain and 60,000 deaths a year are directly attributable to it, according to the Alzheimer's Society. It's estimated around six percent of us will develop MCI.
Previous research suggested that 10-15 percent of people with MCI went on to develop dementia every year the research results were followed up.
In community studies and clinical trials the rates are about half this level, but still represent a significantly increased level of risk.
That's why it's so important to identify people with MCI, as they may be in the very early stages of the disease and more likely to benefit from early treatment in the future.
Mayo Clinic research tracked 1,230 people aged between 70 to 89 years and asked them to provide information on what they ate the previous year. However, proteins and fats appear to offer some protection - those who consumed plenty of them were less likely to suffer cognitive decline.
