Skip to comments.Texas megachurch run by vaccine-denying preacher battles measles outbreak (Kenneth Copeland)
Posted on 08/31/2013 10:54:12 PM PDT by iowamark
A Texas megachurch connected to a pastor who has openly questioned the benefits of modern medicine has been forced to host vaccination clinics after 21 members of the congregation contracted measles.
The outbreak started when a person who contracted measles overseas visited Eagle Mountain International Church in Newark, located about 20 miles north of Fort Worth, Texas.
Officials with area health departments said those affected by the outbreak range in age from 4-months to 44-years-old.
All of the school-age children with measles were homeschooled, and the majority of those who were infected had not been vaccinated.
'If it finds a pocket of people who are unimmunized, and the majority of our cases are unimmunized so far, then if you are around a person with measles, you will get sick,' Russell Jones, chief epidemiologist for Tarrant County Public Health, said Monday...
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that children get two doses of the combined vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella, called the MMR.
The first dose should be when they are 12 to 15 months old and the second when they are 4 to 6 years old.
Vaccination opt-out rates nationwide have been creeping up since the mid-2000s, spurred in part by the belief the battery of vaccinations routinely given to infants could lead to autism despite scientific evidence to the contrary and the debunking of one of the most publicized studies that first fueled vaccine fears years ago...
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
how many of those that contracted measles had the vaccination already?
looks like both vaccinated and unvaccinated contracted the disease. who got better faster I wonder? hmmm
there are always some risks to vaccinations, sometimes perhaps more than are acknowledged
but then again, there are risks to NOT getting vaccinations, too.
life is unfair, then you die.
it may be wiser to ask the good pastor about that (the next life), rather than relying too much on his medical advice for this life?
Looks like some lessons need to be re-learned. The hard way so it seems. Globull warming, ozone hole, NSA spying lies - not surprising that few believe anything the govt says.
This is one of those times that doubt (and lack of immunization) will cause suffering.
I agree with your post. There are risks either way, but one should rely upon medical sources of information for medical decisions.
Vacination is not a cure all. Not much is said about the drawbacks, but they do exist. I think that a good frame of health is most important, with fresh foods, as illness like mumps and measles are usually of short duration if the patient is strong and well.
Scam flim flam man
At least 4 people of the people who got it were vaccinated, and possibly 1 additional. 16 were confirmed unvaccinated. Vaccines aren't 100% effective which is why it is important that everyone get the,
Sometimes, medicine works faster than prayer.
we almost agree.
mumps and measles can be dangerous for little kids at times.
also, the measles virus can stay in you for years and then resurface again and you got shingles in your old age.
shingles can be very difficult for some people.
so.....I tend to take the vaccinations. I realize there are some risks with both the active and sometimes the inactive agents. So, I do not push other people to get all the vaccinations, but if they ask my opinion I tell them I get the shots myself...
at least we have these options available to us!!!
the most powerful and richest kings of just a couple hundred years ago....and Napoleon and all the rest...never had these opportunities
In the 60's and early 70's, before the vaccine, there were half a million cases a year, and 500 measles deaths a year in the US - about 1 out of every 1000 cases. Judge risk against that.
What I think is interesting - neither I nor any of my friends had measles vaccinations back in the early 1940's, nor did my children or their friends. Rather a common practice to go ahead and expose your kids to them when they were small and then we just didn't worry about it. Same thing with chicken pox and mumps. Only vaccination my kids had was for DPT.
Shingles is varicella-zoster - the chicken pox virus, not measles.
How many of the infected suffered serious, long-term effects from contracting measles? There seems to be a bit of an overreaction to this, as if everyone who contracted the measles suffered a horrible death.
How can one possibly love God and his neighbor if one is willing to let people die of diseases that God has given us the intellect to cure? That is like walking past an injured traveler rather than lending them aid like a good Samaritan. God gave us our brains for a reason.
oops sorry about that mistake.
Being cured by something created be man is a sin. Same with eating certain foods and wearing certain types of cloth.
Remember March of Dimes drives. German measles was a top five cause of birth defects.
Immunization has greatly reduced congenital birth defects.
So if you are against having children forcibly medicated by the government, you are against modern medicine.
It's like the man who refused to be rescued from a flood, because he had faith that God would save him, then when dies and asks God why he didn't rescue him, God replies, "I sent you a car. I sent you a canoe. I sent you a motorboat. I sent you a helicopter. What more were you looking for?
Tell me more about wearing certain types of cloth, etc..
Anyone remember German measles parties?
vaccination is not a cure all. it is too often oversold as a cure all. by medical folks we non-medical folks are often made to feel we have no right to question, much less refuse.
personally i laways like to look at how docs treat themselves. i am amazed at the percentage of how many do not decide to get flu shots each year. no less amazed at how many admit if they got cancer, how many would refuse chemo.
just as enlightening as the fact as a group, public school teachers send their kids to private schools at higher rates than the general public.
I had occasion to help a guy (pay for) attend a church-related 'cure diabetes clinic' ....
Two days into it, I discovered the clinic doctor had cancelled all insulin.
Cold turkey withdrawl, if you will.
We had a very long talk (since he kept saying he trusted his prayers to cure the patients' diabetes ... and I said go ahead and pray but at least give the good Lord a few days to effectuate the cure...restore the insulin and carefully taper it down as you pray....and monitor the glucose levels.... so you can SEE God's curative powers in action...or something like that....)
Anyway, the issue was resolved only when the doc's wife told her husband that "all the gentleman wants you to do is practice medicine properly, dear, since you are a doctor after all...."
I really think that medical doctors are normally the ones to consult for medical advice, and pastors are the ones to consult for spiritual advice, and the twain should not ordinarily get too mixed up.
Both trades require a lot of learning and practitioners can make enough mistakes in their own trades without trying to mix into the other.
Just my opinion.
In the absence of vaccination, rubella is an endemic disease with epidemics every 6 to 9 years. During the 19621965 global rubella pandemic, an estimated 12.5 million rubella cases occurred in the United States, resulting in 2,000 cases of encephalitis, 11,250 therapeutic or spontaneous abortions, 2,100 neonatal deaths, and 20,000 infants born with CRS.[4]
Rubella is extremely dangerous to pregnant women in the first trimester when many do not even know they are pregnant.
What are the numbers? For example, if 75% of the "anti-vaccine cult" population was not vaccinated, and if only 51% of those infected were not vaccinated, then the infections were higher among those who were vaccinated.
Clearly, the vaccination was ineffective for many who were vaccinated. This story is evidence against vaccination.
Many easily treated diseases had a greater potential for death or other serious consequences years ago.
I will never understand the mindset that can accept that God created disease, but not that he created doctors.
It reminds me of a favorite old joke/parable:
Bob is sitting on his porch as flood waters rise around his house. The sheriff comes by in a jon boat with a few of his neighbors. "Hop on, Bob," the sheriff says. "Water's still risin'. It's not safe here."
"Naw," Bob says. "My trust is in the Lord. He will provide."
The waters continue to rise, and now he's on his roof. A state patrol motorboat pulls alongside. "Get in!" the trooper shouts over the rushing waters. "We've got to get you out of here!"
"Naw," Bob says. "My trust is in the Lord. He will provide."
The waters are still rising, now up to Bob's chest as he sits on the peak of his roof. A Coast Guard helicopter arrives, framing Bob in its floodlights and lowering a rescue collar. "Feed your arms through the collar and we'll pull you to safety," the Coast Guard Pilot says.
"———" says Bob, inaudible over the sound of the chopper as he bats the rescue collar away.
After a few minutes, the chopper crew gives up and leaves to look for others. The waters rise over Bob's head, and he drowns.
When Bob awakens, he is surrounded by a soft white light and feels a peaceful warmth pass over him. But he is not at peace. "Lord!" he cries in anguish. "I trusted in you, as you instructed in your Word. How could you forsake me in my hour of need?"
A booming voice seems to come from everywhere at once. "My child, I sent you two boats and a helicopter. What were you waiting for?"
I posted mine before I saw yours. Great minds, etc.
Did all these poor folks dies from the measles? How horrible!
Measles still has a 2-3% death rate in the US today and 30% in turd world countries and a 90% infection rate in non-vaccinated populations
That death rate would be higher if the vaccination rates were lower.
Measles also causes miscarriage, premature birth and low birth weight.
Vaccines are very good but not perfect.
Also I trust media about as far as I can throw them to tell us what this place really preached (though the foreign press usually gets US news events more accurate than our crazy MSM). A classical Christian approach would be to make it a matter of individual freedom and not preach that using the vaccine is either a sin or obligatory.
If vaccination is meant to protect against the disease, why are the vaccinated contracting it?
Not sure where you got these statistics, but as far as I can see the rate is more like 0.3%.
That death rate would be higher if the vaccination rates were lower.
No, it would not. The percentage of deaths is determined by the health/environmental factors of the infected population. Once the disease is contracted, being vaccinated or not makes no difference as vaccination is not a treatment and has no effect on the course of the disease. The raw numbers would naturally increase with the increased number of infections, but the death percentage would remain unchanged.
Measles also causes miscarriage, premature birth and low birth weight.
I heard it also causes global warming....
Guess you could say Copeland's message went 'viral'.
Right you are. I'm not letting anyone experiment on my children with dangerous, ineffective drugs.
"A Texas megachurch connected to a pastor who has openly questioned the benefits of modern medicine has been forced to host vaccination clinics after 21 members of the congregation contracted measles. "
I hope he doesn't question Newton's laws of physics before deciding to jump off the Empire State Building.
Leviticus 19:19
Deuteronomy 22:11
I remember chicken pox parties. Can't remember measle parties. I had both types of measles, the mumps and chicken pox when I was little. My sisters eyesight was affected when she had the measles. I had No lasting effects. Wasn't fun having them, but I think I have a pretty good immune system maybe due having these diseases?
Vaccines are not 100% effective, and the effect fades over time so if they haven't had a booster they were probably not fully protected. Many people (myself included) haven't had the shots since high school.
Me too.
I entered public school in the 2nd grade. Came down with all of them that year. Missed so much school I had to take the grade again
Think I felt worse with the measles. Ran a fever so high I had hallucinations. Common practice was to keep the light in the patient's room very low.
Even when immunized some people do not respond by producing anti-bodies. They have a high probability of getting sick if exposed to the disease.
For example, I took the full course of Hepititis B vaccines but have never responded with antibodies.
That should be Hepatitis.
Clearly, the vaccination was ineffective for many who were vaccinated. This story is evidence against vaccination.
Of the 21 people who contracted measles linked to the church, 16 were unvaccinated. The others may have had at least one vaccination but had no documentation.
Clearly the evidence is to the contrary. The majority of the people who were vaccinated did not contract measles, of the 21 who were initially infected, 16 of the unvaccinated became infected and infected other who were also unvaccinated. With the other 5, they may have been vaccinated but there is no documentation or they may have only received one shot and not the booster.
Spandex is the work of the devil!
Blame the preacher crowd goes wild. Over the past several years children have not been vaccinated due to the autism link. I am not debating whether it exists or not, but that is a big deal to patents now. Public screwls demand vaccination compliance, so that leaves home schoolers as the pro choice crowd.

Khalil Hamra, Associated Press
ZWITINA, Libya — The international military intervention in Libya is likely to last "a while," a top French official said Monday, echoing Moammar Gadhafi's warning of a long war ahead as rebels, energized by the strikes on their opponents, said they were fighting to reclaim a city under siege from the Libyan leader's forces.
Burned-out tanks and personnel carriers littered the main desert road leading southwest from Benghazi, the rebel's capital in the east of the country — the remains of a pro-Gadhafi force that had been besieging the city until it was pounded by international strikes the past two nights.
Rebel fighters in Benghazi had now pushed down that highway to the outskirts of the city of Ajdabiya, which pro-Gadhafi forces have surrounded and been pounding with artillery and strikes since last week. The rebels swept into the nearby oil port of Zwitina, just northeast of the city, which was also the scene of heavy fighting last week — though now had been abandoned by regime forces. There, a power station hit by shelling on Thursday was still burning, its blackened fuel tank crumpled, with flames and black smoke pouring out.
Oil prices held above $102 a barrel after the second night of allied strikes in the OPEC nation raised fears of prolonged fighting that has already slowed Libyan oil production to a trickle.
Henri Guaino, a top adviser to the French president, said two nights of bombing runs and missile attacks had hobbled Libya's air defenses, stalled Gadhafi's troops and all but ended attacks on civilians. A cruise missile late Sunday blasted Gadhafi's residential compound near his iconic tent, and fighter jets destroyed a line of tanks moving on the rebel capital.
It was not known where Gadhafi was when the missile hit Sunday, but it seemed to show that he is not safe.
Guaino, asked how long the allied efforts would continue, replied simply: "A while yet."
The U.N. resolution authorizing international military action in Libya not only sets up a no-fly zone but allows "all necessary measures" to prevent attacks on civilians. Since the airstrikes began, the number of civilians fleeing Libya has decreased as Libyans in particular wait out the rapidly changing situation, the U.N. refugee agency said Monday.
It was a dramatic turnaround in Libya's month-old upheaval: For 10 days, Gadhafi's forces had been on a triumphant offensive against the rebel-held east, driving opposition fighters back with the overwhelming firepower of tanks, artillery, warplanes and warships. Last week, as rebels fell back, the stream of civilians crossing into Egypt alone reached 3,000 a day.
Then, after the no-fly zone was imposed Friday, the number fell to about 1,500 a day, said UNHCR spokeswoman Sybella Wilkes.
Mohammed Abdul-Mullah, a 38-year-old civil engineer from Benghazi who was fighting with the rebel force, said government troops stopped all resistance after the international campaign began.
"They were running, by foot and in small cars," he said. "The balance has changed a lot. But pro-Gadhafi forces are still strong. They are a professional military and they have good equipment. Ninety percent of us rebels are civilians, while Gadhafi's people are professional fighters."
Rebel fighters descending from Benghazi met no resistance as they moved to the outskirts of Ajdabiya. In a field of dunes several miles (kilometers) outside the city, around 150 fighters massed. Some stood on the dunes with binoculars to survey the positions of pro-Gadhafi forces sealing off the entrances of the city. Ajdabiya itself was visible, black smoke rising, apparently from fires burning from fighting in recent days.
"There are five Gadhafi tanks and eight rocket launchers behind those trees and lots of 4x4s," said one rebel fighter, Fathi Obeidi, standing on a dune and pointing at a line of trees between his position and the city.

Most Helpful
As written this is a three, however, with just a little change it can be a five!!! Do mix all ingredients together including butter, which should be melted, reduce the peaches to one can and you have yourself a yummy, easy-peasy peach cobbler!
Sorry, but this did not work for me at all.
I dont know whats wrong with the person who wrote this recipe or those who reviewed it.

1. Not mixing the mixture is a terrible idea, it leads to raw flour in the 'finished' product.
2. The temperature and cook times are just plain wrong, they result in an undercooked dish.
3. Considering the complexity of the recipe this means that the recipe is, for the most part, incorrect. Why anyone has left reviews with 4-5 stars with change recommendations is beyond me.

This is a terrible recipe, go and find another one. Do not under any circumstances try to cook this recipe it will make you ill if you try to eat it.

I have a Sony NEX6 and a couple Nikon speedlights. What do I need to have the NEX6 trigger the Nikon wirelessly?
If your speedlights have flash synch cable receivers you can use any wireless trigger combination. If they don't you can buy hotshoe adapters with a flash synch reciever and do the same.
Personally I use pocket wizards exclusively (plus III), love them. The first trigger would go in your camera's hot shoe. The second you would plug in via cable to the flash. You will need a 1/8 to PC cable (these are usually included).
If your Nikon speedlights have SU-4 mode in them (the SB-600 doesn't), you could use SU-4 mode on the speedlights, and the pop-up flash on the NEX6 in manual mode to trigger the lights.
If you get manual radio triggers that are transceiver units (i.e., can be used as either a transmitter (Tx) or receiver (Tx)), it must have some way of switching between Tx/Rx modes. Or you need to get separate dedicated Tx/Rx units (this is why the Cactus V, RF-602, and RF-603 II triggers work on NEX/Fuji X/micro four-thirds, but the RF-603 triggers won't). The Rx/Tx switching on the RF-603 is done using a TTL signal that doesn't occur on the same pin (or at all) on the mirrorless hotshoes, as it does on Canon/Nikon hotshoes.
You mention in a comment on Robert Lowdon's answer that you're using a Nikon SB800 speedlight. There are plenty of wireless triggers you can use and the PC sync, as noted, however there's another (completely free and easy) option built into the SB800: the optical slave trigger. Enable this mode and when the flash sees another flash go off (such as your NEX 6's built-in flash), the SB800 will go off.
The trouble with the optical slave is that it relies upon line-of-sight communication and often won't work in very bright conditions.

Oct. 27, 1999 (Atlanta) -- It's usually considered an adolescent problem, but new research finds significant facial acne can persist well into adulthood, especially in women.
The study, which appears in the latest issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, focuses on 749 adults from age 25 to 58. Many of the subjects, including most of the women, had some form of acne -- mainly mild. But when it came to severe cases of acne, four times as many women were affected than men.
Specifically, the researchers found acne to be present in 54% of adult women and in 40% of men. Severe acne was found in 12% of the women and in 3% of the men -- and those subjects overwhelmingly reported (82%) that their adult acne was a carry-over from adolescence.
The study did contain a bit of good news for adult acne sufferers: while mild acne continued past the age of 45 in about a third of the participants, severe acne virtually disappeared as subjects approached that age.
The researchers say their study was prompted, at least in part, by a sharp upswing in the average age of patients referred to the dermatology department at the Leeds General Infirmary in Leeds, England -- from 20.5 years a decade ago to 26.5 years now. But dermatologists who spoke with WebMD say they're not sure whether a trend seen in doctors' offices can necessarily translate over to the general population.
"One problem is, we only see the patients who walk into our office," says Gary Peck, MD, at the Washington (DC) Hospital Center. "But certainly in a particular setting, there are lots of women in their 20s and 30s who have mild forms of acne." Peck is the director of clinical research in the dermatology department.
Peck says he's not sure whether that indicates an increased prevalence of adult acne or simple "pimple paranoia" -- given even small acne outbreaks are sometimes enough to send adults hurrying off to the dermatologist's office. Peck attributes this hypersensitivity in part to the "perfect skin" image presented in some magazines.
Another dermatologist says a sizeable prevalence of adult acne is about what he'd expect. "Most dermatologists treat more adult acne than adolescent acne," says Christopher Harmon MD, a dermatologist in private practice who is also an instructor at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. "The myth is that acne is an adolescent disease."
In fact, Harmon says escaping acne's wrath during adolescence offers no guarantee it won't get you later. "The most common statement I hear men and women make is, 'I'm 30 years old and look at all these zits ... and I didn't have any as a teenager.'" Harmon explains some cases of adult acne occur as a response to changes in the bacteria of the skin -- a normal development -- and subsequent infection of the pores. He says other forms of adult acne include acne rosacea, which usually pops up after the age of 25, and in women, there's also perioral dermatitis which is characterized by acne lesions around the mouth and nose, plus dry, itchy skin.
One thing the study's authors say doesn't change between adult and adolescent acne is its potential psychological impact. Their advice: treat problematic outbreaks as early as possible. Harmon agrees, "We know the sooner we're treating acne ... the greater we impact the disease."

2 get prison in 2010 killings of Oklahoma couple
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Two people convicted in an Arizona prison break and a double homicide in New Mexico have been sentenced to prison.
Federal prosecutors say 46-year-old Tracy Allen Province was sentenced Monday to [auth] five consecutive terms of life imprisonment without the possibility of release.
They say Casslyn Mae Welch got a 40-year prison sentence.
Province and the 47-year-old Welch were accused of participating in the plot to carjack and kill a retired Oklahoma couple.
Arizona prison escapee John McCluskey was convicted of kidnapping and murdering 61-year-old Gary and Linda Haas in August 2010. He's scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday.
Welch is McCluskey's cousin and girlfriend. She pleaded guilty to helping McCluskey and Province escape from a prison near Kingman in July 2010.
Province and Welch testified for the prosecution in McCluskey's trial.

Rex Ryan Leads Jets to Playoffs, Team Brand to NFL's Top Tier
Scott May says Rex Ryan's self-assurance is good for business.
May, president of the Park Avenue-based printing company National Communications Group, says the New York Jets coach is making NCG's sponsorship of the team pay off. As Ryan prepares the Jets for a Jan. 16 National Football League playoff game against the division-rival New England Patriots, May said the coach's personality has given the club an identity that helps sell both the Jets and his products.
"The Jets are really gaining some recognition, becoming the lead story rather than the follow-up," May, who also leases a suite at the team's New Meadowlands Stadium for entertaining clients, said in a telephone interview. "When he's able to speak with that confidence, without being arrogant or cocky, I think he's a great team spokesman."
Under the 48-year-old coach's leadership, the Jets reached the conference title game last year, where they were eliminated by the Indianapolis Colts one win shy of the Super Bowl. They finished 11-5 this season and made the playoff's second round for the second straight year. They opened a $1.6 billion stadium, shared equally with the New York Giants, and showcased their training camp on the HBO series "Hard Knocks."
Ryan introduced himself to New York fans in 2009 saying he wasn't going to kiss the three Super Bowl rings belonging to Patriots coach Bill Belichick. He introduced a "ground-and-pound" style of play centered on defense and running, describing it on "Hard Knocks" as playing "like the (expletive) New York Jets" and earning Internet celebrity by concluding the same lecture with the phrase, "Let's go eat a (expletive) snack." He had lap band surgery to lose weight. He got reprimanded by former Colts coach Tony Dungy, now an NBC analyst, for cursing too much.
Mission Accomplished
Matt Higgins, the Jets' executive vice president for business operations, said Ryan accomplishes something owner Woody Johnson sought when he hired the coach two years ago: removing barriers between team and fans.
Since Ryan's arrival, the Jets have risen from the bottom quarter in Internet traffic to among the league's top teams, Higgins said. A daily ESPN "Web buzz ranking" yesterday placed the Jets in the top quarter of the 32-team league.
The team's postseason rematch with the Colts on Jan. 8 attracted 33.4 million viewers, a record for a Saturday wild-card round game and the largest audience for a Saturday night broadcast since CBS's coverage of the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, NBC said in a news release.
Connect With Fans
"We all came to the realization that in order to take the brand to the next level, we really needed to engage," Higgins said. "Sometimes we step in it, so to speak, and that generates headlines. But at the end of the day, a lot of that is noise. He's connecting with our fans and articulating our identity."
Ryan's tenure has generated copy for New York's tabloids. In January 2010, he appeared in a photograph extending what the Daily News called a "Rex-rated" gesture to hecklers at a mixed martial arts fight in Florida. Ryan apologized.
The Jets agreed to pay for leaguewide workplace conduct training in September after Ryan and other coaches and players were accused of unprofessional conduct toward a female Mexican television reporter. Four days later, receiver Braylon Edwards was charged with driving while intoxicated. At the time, Ryan said the embarrassments must end.
Last month, the NFL fined the Jets $100,000 after a now-suspended assistant coach tripped a Miami Dolphins player during a game. The Jets have appealed the fine.
`Belichick versus Ryan'
As the Jets prepared to play the Patriots this week, Ryan told reporters that the match-up "is about Bill Belichick versus Rex Ryan."
Belichick joked that it was probably best for both teams if neither coach actually played.
After the Daily News quoted cornerback Antonio Cromartie calling Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, a two-time Super Bowl most valuable player, a vulgar name, Ryan was asked if the team talked too much. He said no. Asked if he's ever worked for an organization that asked him to tone down his personality, Ryan said that while everyone he's worked for has probably wanted that, no one has asked.
"When I was a defensive coordinator, I would say the same things, but instead of having this many reporters, there may have been one or two," he told reporters. "Now it's just a bigger stage, but I was still the same person then as I am now."
Comments Help Jets
Matt Delzell, group account director for The Marketing Arm, a Dallas-based promotional company, said all the comments and incidents ultimately help the Jets more than they hurt.
"Some people consider it refreshing, some people consider it offensive -- whatever," Delzell said. "At the end of the day, people are paying attention."
Steve Rosner, co-founder of Rutherford, New Jersey-based 16W Marketing LLC, said Ryan has helped improve the team's public profile with both corporate sponsors and fans outside the New York area. His personality helps differentiate the Jets from more conservative teams in the area, such as the baseball Yankees or football Giants, he said.
"When they hired Rex Ryan, the public view of the organization changed," Rosner said. "They also did something they hadn't done in a little while and that's win. So with the new coach, his blunt style and the winning, they became an attractive team for corporate America, as well as for people like HBO."
Cold-Call Success
That's how May sees it. The 54-year-old landed the Jets as a client about two decades ago through a cold-call, weeks into his first job as a printer. He says he even printed the personalized memo pad on which Belichick in 2000 scrawled a handwritten note quitting as Jets coach after one day: "I resign as HC of NYJ."
For May, entertaining at the stadium also allows him to showcase his products, such as signs in the concourse and graphics in the locker room. He attended every home game this season.
"I leveraged new business and cultivated existing relationships," May said. "The type of clients I was able to attract weren't just football fans, they were also people that just wanted to come and be part of the experience of being in this new stadium for the inaugural season."
One thing could have gone better, he said: "Obviously, I'm disappointed they didn't have a home playoff game."

Ronny Tong Ka-wah, SC (Chinese: 湯家驊; born 28 August 1950 in Hong Kong) is a Hong Kong Senior Counsel and politician. He co-founded the Civic Party and was a Legislative Councillor, representing the New Territories East constituency until he quit the party and resigned from the legislature on 22 June 2015, following the historic vote on Hong Kong electoral reform a few days earlier.
Education and legal career[edit]
Tong was born in Hong Kong in 1950. He attended the Queen's College, Hong Kong and studied law at the University of Hong Kong (LLB) and St Edmund Hall, Oxford (BCL). He was called to the Bar by the Middle Temple and received top marks in the Bar Exams.[1] He became Queen's Counsel in 1990 was the chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association from 1999 to 2001.
Eight days after his election as Bar chairman on 21 January 1999, the Court of Final Appeal ruled that mainland Chinese children born before their parents became Hong Kong permanent residents were entitled to right of abode in the city. In June 1999, the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) made an interpretation of the Basic Law that effectively overruled the city's top court in the case. Tong opposed the NPCSC's interpretation, warning that a "Damocles sword" was hanging over the head of the Court of Final Appeal as a result of the government's refusal to rule out requesting Beijing to interpret the law in future cases. He said the failure to make a public promise not to seek further interpretations of the Basic Law from Beijing had damaged public confidence in the rule of law. "Confidence in our legal system and the independence of our judiciary are bound to suffer," he said in his annual report to barristers.[2]
Tong also targeted then Secretary for Justice Elsie Leung Oi-sie's handling of the Sally Aw Sian case, in which the publishing tycoon was not prosecuted for a fraud plot involving her company although she was named as a conspirator in the charges.[2]
Early political career[edit]
He ran in the 2002 Election Committee Subsector by-elections in the Legal sub-sector, which was responsible for electing the Chief Executive of Hong Kong in the 2002 election.
In 2002, he co-founded the Article 23 Concern Group with former Bar Association chairmen Audrey Eu Yuet-mee and Alan Leong Kah-kit, to oppose the government's attempt to implement Article 23 of the Basic Law, which they believed posed a threat to civil liberties and basic freedoms. He entered the spotlight as a legal expert when half a million Hong Kong people took to the streets in 2003 to protest against the proposed Article 23 anti-subversion bill that was later shelved. After the 1 July protest, the group transformed into the Article 45 Concern Group to call for universal suffrage in 2007 and 2008, as required under Article 45 of the Basic Law .
Legislative Councillor[edit]
In the 2004 Legislative Council election, he and fellow barristers from the group Audrey Eu Yuet-mee and Alan Leong Kah-kit ran for the geographical constituency direct elections. Tong combined with the other pro-democrats with a joint list in the New Territories East, where he was placed behind the Democratic Party's Andrew Cheng Kar-foo and The Frontier's Emily Lau Wai-hing. The list received more than 160,000 votes which Cheng, Lau and Tong were elected.
In March 2006, he and members of the Article 45 Concern Group co-founded the Civic Party and he became a member of the party's executive committee. In the 2008 and 2012 Legislative Council elections, he was re-elected to represent New Territories East.
In the 2011 District Council election, he ran in the City One hoping for entering the new District Council (Second) constituency race created under the 2012 constitutional reform package but was defeated by pro-Beijing independent Wong Ka-wing.
2010 electoral reform[edit]
As a moderate pan-democrat, Tong opposed to the party's decision in January 2010 to join the "Five Constituencies Referendum", to resign over the five geographical constituencies and run for the vacancy in order to trigger a de facto referendum over the 2012 constitutional reform package, which action was heavily criticised by Beijing. Tong intended to vote for the modified reform package, but was required to vote with the rest of Civic Party to oppose it.[3]
2015 electoral reform[edit]
During the debate over the electoral reform over the 2017 Chief Executive election, Tong publicly criticised as unreasonable the pan-democrats' support of party or public nomination for chief executive candidates. He put forward a more moderate proposal in October 2013. The proposal suggested increasing the membership of the nominating committee from the 1,200 member Election Committee to 1,514 and maintain the nomination threshold of 150 votes.[4] Tong recommended the instant runoff voting system, which is used in Ireland, Australia, Sri Lanka; in mayoral elections in London, San Francisco; and in elections for some state governors in the United States, in order to elect a CE who could be accepted by all sectors.[4] Tong also advocated repealing an existing law which disallows the Chief Executive belonging to a political party membership.[4]
On 31 August 2014, when Beijing announced its decision constraining Hong Kong's political reform, which would spark the 2014 Hong Kong protests, Tong was immediately critical, stating that he would vote against it, casting severe doubt on the government's ability to win the two-thirds majority a reform package needed in the Legislative Council. He cried as he reacted on a live Cable TV programme. "It is the darkest day in the road for democracy," he said. "I am disheartened … I don't see a future for moderates in Hong Kong politics." A moderate reform plan he drew up - under which the public would not be allowed to nominate chief executive candidates - received a cool response from his allies. The barrister said he would think carefully about the next step in his political career after a decision from Beijing that was "more undemocratic than I could imagine". "I thought there would be [some] chance for future dialogue," he said, referring to when pan-democrats were invited for talks with Beijing officials the previous month. "But now, I don't see any chance."[5] He eventually voted against the unmodified proposal with other pan-democrat legislators. On 8 June 2015, before the vote, he set up a think tank Path of Democracy, composed of moderate democrats.
Resignation from party and Legco[edit]
On 22 June 2015, a few days after the legislative vote, Tong announced that he would quit the Civic party that he co-founded, adding that he noted the line the Civic Party had taken since the end of 2009 had deviated from its founding values. He would also resign from the Legislative Council as he said it was inappropriate for him to retain his seat in the legislature because he stood for election as a Civic Party member.[6]

Rogers resigns from School Board
Published: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 16, 2009 at 10:20 p.m.
Transylvania County School Board Chairman Mike Rogers has resigned his post effective June 14, saying its time for his life to go in a new direction.
In a letter to school board members, Rogers said, God has given me my direction, which Ive known for a couple of months, but I wanted us to get through the budget process and the remainder of the school year before the announcement.
Rogers said he has known that since April 22, but thought the honorable thing to do was to stay on the board until the end of the school year, after the budget and superintendent search had been resolved.
Rogers also said that he has made the best decisions possible the past seven years.
The School Board will hold a special meeting at 10 a.m. June 19, at the Morris Education Center, 225 Rosenwald Lane, Brevard, to elect officers and discuss the process and timeline for selecting a new board member.
For now, Rogers said he will concentrate on his business, Rogers Masonry, and also on being a pastor at a church in Flag Pond, Tenn. He wants to be sensitive to the Lords direction and be obedient to the Lord, and hopes he hasnt let anyone down.
I still have a very keen interest in the students in Transylvania County, and the teachers and the staff, he said. Its been my honor and my pleasure to have served on the board.
Rogers said there are several accomplishments and highlights he will remember. He was on the board when Transylvania County had the first high school in the state to be recognized as a School of Excellence. Hes also proud of the fact that they were able to put cameras in schools for security and enact drug testing for extracurricular participants.
Rogers said other highlights include celebrating the many schools of excellence, achieving SACS accreditation and being a part of the hiring process for retiring Superintendent Sonna Lyda and her replacement, Jeff McDaris, who will take the helm on July 1.
One of the boards biggest accomplishments these last seven years, he said, was increasing communication and cooperation with county commissioners. The relationship was tense before his first term began, Rogers said, but School Board members have been able to develop a mutual understanding with commissioners.
For the future, the biggest challenge is handling the budget crunch and personnel changes.
The transition will be the biggest challenge and biggest opportunity, with three new board members from the election in November and then a new appointed School Board member to take my place and a new superintendent coming on board July 1, Rogers said.

Letter of resignation
Dear Board Members,
Exactly seven years ago this month, I made the decision to run for the Board of Education.
Many times in my life Ive had to ask myself if the decision to do something or not would be one that Id regret. At the time of that filing, I knew Id regret it if I didnt run for the office and serve our school system and children.
That has been true for the last seven years. However, that being said, its with mixed emotions that I give you this announcement.
On April 22, 2009, God revealed to me that my days on the school board were soon to be over. Without my resignation, and believing with all my heart that it is the will of God, again this would be a decision in which I know Ill truly regret.
Proverbs 3:5-6 reads Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; Lean not unto thy own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.
God has given me my direction, which Ive known for a couple of months, but I wanted us to get through the budget process and the remainder of the school year before the announcement.
Gods revealing this to me happened on Wednesday between the days of the superintendent interview process. With respect to Dr. Jeff McDaris, our superintendent selection, I spoke with him during the contract discussions the following week to inform him of my future resignation.
He assured me that he understood and that God had a bigger plan for me in my life. Im not sure exactly what that plan is but I know it will be right for me, the schools, the county and you all as employees.
I pray for and will continue to pray for you. I Samuel 12:23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you.
Not only has God revealed this to me, but Hes also confirmed it in many ways the last few weeks! I can honestly say that Ive made the very best decisions I felt possible as well as one that was right for students and you as staff the past seven years! These things are still very important to me but just in a different manner.
I have truly enjoyed serving with past and present board members and I wish you the very best in the future! May God bless each of you!
Effective immediately, please accept my resignation.
Respectfully submitted,
Michael J. Rogers

The Korean War started 63 years ago today. The Hyundai factory in Eufaula held a Veterans Appreciation Day at the VFW.
More than 50 veterans, including some that served in the Korean were there. Awards for recognition were given out and they watched movies about old and new Korea.
Bill Graham, a Korean War Veteran said, "They gave me a plaque and said I was a hero. I don't feel like a hero. I got to know some of the Koreans well and they didn't pray for peace. What they prayed for is that their country would be reunited. Of course North and South Korea are still separate nations. But they were praying everyday and I bet they are still praying."

NEW YORK -- The party at Shea was still raging out on the field, with the Mets and family members celebrating the franchise's first Eastern Division title since 1988. Hundreds of fans hung around to savor the moment on Monday night, too, officially dethroning the Braves by doing a mock chop.
Everyone chanted Pedro Martinez's name, practically begging the right-hander to come out of the clubhouse and join the open-air asylum. The Mets were all there, chugging and spraying champagne, but Pedro never showed up, choosing to remain indoors.
It was a telling decision for the man who's been the Mets' most popular and fun-loving player. Normally, Pedro would've monopolized the face time on TV, but not now. Not when his body hurts, his fastball is still in recovery and by Martinez's own admission, his emotional state would interest Dr. Phil.
Martinez will be the Mets' Game 1 starter in the Division Series; that much was made clear by manager Willie Randolph on Monday. Beyond that, however, there are only questions.
Is Pedro healthy enough to outpitch, say, Greg Maddux, should the Mets run into the Dodgers as the wild card? Could Martinez conceivably pitch on three days' rest should the series go to a decisive fifth game?
And even more importantly, does Pedro still have enough self-confidence to fulfill his mandate, which is to lead the Mets in October?
These are all pressing questions, given Martinez's bizarre response to the four runs he allowed the Pirates in three innings last Friday night. He walked to the far corner of the dugout and started to cry.
Why? Perhaps because Pedro thought he would be unhittable after so much time off. He was making his first appearance since Aug. 14, which should've been enough time to bolster his velocity.
Maybe Martinez knows he's running out of time, given there are only two weeks to go before the playoffs. Or maybe it's a much larger gloom that hovers over Pedro. He's 34 and his days of being a power pitcher (not to mention being pain free) are obviously over.
Pedro did say, however, his tears were not from any physical pain.
"No, no, I know what being hurt is," he told The New York Times. "But I was really disappointed that I didn't feel better."
The Mets will send Martinez to the mound on Thursday against the Marlins with fingers tightly crossed. He needs a better fastball, better command of the strike zone. Above all, Pedro needs to believe in himself again.
But it's not like he's on audition, either. When Randolph decided Martinez would be his Game 1 starter, the manager added it would take a complete breakdown for anything to change his mind.
Which is to say, the Mets are going on faith.
"Pedro's a warrior," said general manager Omar Minaya. "He's not going to be 100 percent, but even when he's not 100 percent he finds a way to win. At least he's going to be competitive."
No one denies Martinez is as tough and resilient as any pitcher of this generation. Mets veterans still talk about his Opening Day salvo fired at the Reds in 2005, when he walked in from the bullpen after warm-ups and deliberately strolled in front of Cincinnati's dugout on his way to the bench.
It took guts to antagonize an opponent before throwing a pitch in the National League for the first time since being with the Expos in 1997. But that was Pedro a year ago, fresh off the Red Sox's conquering of the Yankees and a four-game sweep of the Cardinals in the World Series.
In 2006, however, Martinez seems less exuberant, certainly less durable. In fact, he's becoming exactly what the Red Sox whispered he'd be after they allowed the Mets to outbid them during free agency.
Just wait, the Sox cautioned, when the Mets coughed up $53 million for four years. Halfway into that pact, Martinez will finish with the fewest innings since his rookie year in 1993, while his ERA has strayed over 4.00 for the first time in his career.
The only consolation for the Mets is that Martinez's most recent injury was to his right calf, not his arm. But Pedro himself pointed out, "that's your push-off leg. You don't know how it's going to react. And it's not totally healthy yet. So we have to be cautious."
Can the Mets get past the first round without Pedro at full efficiency? That's the scenario no one wants to answer, or even consider. It's easier to believe Martinez can somehow resurrect his past. Conceivably, though, he handle the light-hitting Padres and Dodgers even with diminished stuff.
But memories of the eight-run, three-inning flogging Pedro absorbed from the Red Sox in June make the Mets anxious about the World Series -- especially if they face the Yankees.
One Mets official admitted he was half-awed, half-distressed as he summarized the Bombers' attack.
"That lineup is sick, it might be the best-hitting team they've ever had," he said. "They can put up a five-spot at any time in the game, except maybe the ninth inning."
Pedro has two weeks to find answers, although it'll be even longer than that before anyone forgets his tears. There's no crying in October.
