A short hop to Cooperstown
By Craig Muder
Several future Hall of Famers will likely take the field in tonight's Game 3 of the American League Championship Series at Yankee Stadium.
But ironically, it's another Cooperstown candidate – one who's not a part of this postseason – who had everybody talking on Sunday.
Elvis Andrus' stellar play in the first two games of the ALCS has both managers raving about the 22-year-old Venezuelan shortstop. Andrus' accomplishments have drawn comparisons to another Venezuelan star – Omar Vizquel – who made the postseason his own personal showcase.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi left no doubt that he believes Vizquel – who spent the 2010 season with the White Sox and is just 201 hits short of 3,000 for his career – is worthy of a bronze Hall of Fame plaque.
"Omar Vizquel, I believe, is a future Hall of Famer," Girardi said at Sunday's Workout Day press conference at Yankee Stadium. "Now we have another young Venezuelan shortstop in Elvis Andrus who's doing something similar.
"He may not be hitting the ball out of the ballpark, but – just like Omar – when he gets on base it creates issues."
Andrus is batting .355 in seven postseason games this year with five runs scored and five stolen bases. Much of the maturity shown by the second-year Rangers' star can be traced to Vizquel, who played with the Rangers in 2009 when Andrus was a rookie.
"I don't think there's any doubt that Omar helped Elvis during his first season," said Rangers manager Ron Washington. "We were fortunate to have someone like Omar on this team."
Vizquel, who will be 44 next April, has played 22 big league seasons but shows no signs of nearing retirement. But if he does not play in another big league game, he would be eligible for Hall of Fame consideration in 2016.
Andrus, meanwhile, appears on his way to extending the tradition of great Venezuelan shortstops – a tradition that includes Luis Aparicio, Davey Concepcion and Vizquel.
Craig Muder is the director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Fox Reflex Gel Short Finger Glove 2013
The Fox Reflex Gel Glove offers a lightweight, flexible top hand fabrics for maximum comfort and performance. For added comfort, intelligently placed gel palm inserts help to distribute even pressure to relive hand fatigue.
I have been riding with these for about 2 years now on the same pair. They have held up really well and are very comfortable.
I generally will go thru a pair of short finger gloves every year. This is the first pair that I have ever had that was easy to remove. They have little cuff ends at the middle and index fingers that the opposite 2 fingers will easily grip to allow the gloves to slip off with out having to turn them inside out as you peel them off from the cuff. Very simple and very effective. Price was right too!
Quite nice gloves, especially for the price It really helped to tackle so called tunnel syndrome (numbness in hands) One thing I did not like about this glove is odor, it obviously get smelly after long hours of mountain biking, it is really hard to get rid of it, even if washed thoroughly. But I am giving it 5 star anayway
They work great, for long rides, the gel pads are very comfortable and they keep your hands fresh. I will buy a new set when mine wear out.
Loved the fit & feel of these gloves; The gel pads give you the cushioning of a heavier glove in a very light glove. The gloves are very comfprtable too, a great buy !

Rett syndrome is a disorder of the nervous system that leads to developmental reversals, especially in the areas of expressive language and hand use.
Rett syndrome occurs almost always in girls. It may be misdiagnosed as autism or cerebral palsy.
Studies have linked many Rett syndrome cases to a defect in a gene called methl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2). This gene is on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes. Even when one chromosome has this defect, the other X chromosome is normal enough for the child to survive.
Males born with this defective gene do not have a second X chromosome to make up for the problem. Therefore, the defect usually results in miscarriage , stillbirth , or very early death.
The condition affects about 1 out of 10,000 children. Groups of the disease have appeared within families and certain areas of the world, including Norway, Sweden, and northern Italy.
An infant with Rett syndrome usually has normal development for the first 6 - 18 months. Symptoms range from mild to severe.
Symptoms may include:
Problems in breathing pattern may be the most upsetting and difficult symptom for parents to watch. Why they happen and what to do about them is not well understood. Most experts in Rett syndrome recommend that parents remain calm through an episode of irregular breathing like breath holding. It may help to remind yourself that normal breathing always returns and that your child will become used to the abnormal breathing pattern.
Genetic testing may be done to look for the gene defect associated with the syndrome. However, since the defect is not identified in everyone with the disease, the diagnosis of Rett syndrome is based on symptoms.
There are several different types of Rett syndrome:
Rett syndrome is classified as atypical if:
Treatment may include:
Supplemental feedings can help those with slowed growth. A feeding tube may be needed if the child breathes in (aspirates) food. Diets high in calories and fat combined with feeding tubes can help increase weight and height. Weight gain may improve alertness and social interactions.
Medications such as carbamazepine may be used to treat seizures. Other medications or supplements that have been used or studied include:
Stem cell therapy, alone or in combination with gene therapy, is another hopeful treatment.
International Rett Syndrome Association - www.rettsyndrome.org
The disease slowly gets worse until the teenage years. Then, symptoms may improve. For example, seizures or breathing problems tend to lessen in late adolescence.
Developmental regression or delays vary. Usually, a child with Rett syndrome sits up properly but may not crawl. For those who do crawl, many do so by scooting on their tummy without using their hands.
Similarly, some children walk independently within the normal age range, while others are delayed, don't learn to walk independently at all, or don't learn to walk until late childhood or early adolescence. For those children who do learn to walk at the normal time, some keep that ability for their lifetime, while other children lose the skill.
Life expectancies are not well studied, although survival at least until the mid-20s is likely. The average life expectancy of a girl with Rett syndrome may be mid-40s. Death is often related to seizure, aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, and accidents.
Call your health care provider if you:
The likelihood of having another child with Rett syndrome is less than 1%.

Induction Week Memories
By Trevor Hayes
After this Sunday's Induction Ceremony at 1:30 p.m. EDT, nine men who have worn the San Diego Padres uniform will have been enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Of those nine, Lillian Edmondson and Ann Spraker will have seen eight.
The two women have seen Rollie Fingers, Goose Gossage, Tony Gwynn, Gaylord Perry, Ozzie Smith, Dick Williams and Dave Winfield grace the stage at Clark Sports Center after making the cross-country pilgrimage from San Diego to Cooperstown. Spraker, who is originally from Upstate New York, always made an annual trip, but 20 years ago Edmondson started coming along as well.
"We come to Cooperstown every year because it's a beautiful place," Edmondson said on Tuesday. "And the Hall of Fame is great."
This year the two will see their eighth Padre inducted into the Hall of Fame – they missed the induction of Willie McCovey in 1986 – when Rickey Henderson joins Jim Rice and Joe Gordon as the Induction Class of 2009.
"We had Rickey for a little while and then we traded him, but then he came back and when he came back, he made the game fun, lively and interesting," Edmondson said. "When Rickey was on base, look out. You never knew what was going to happen."
Henderson holds a place in Edmondson and Spraker's hearts, but one man stands above the rest: Mr. Padre, Tony Gwynn. Now with Tony Gwynn Jr. playing in San Diego, it's a bit of a trip back in time.
"It's fun when you look up at the scoreboard and see a Tony Gwynn batting," Edmondson said. "We had to be here the year Tony went in as well as Cal Ripken – two very high-class individuals."
That summer they enrolled in the Hall of Fame Membership Program for the first time – something they've done every year since. Spraker said they wanted to make sure they weren't going to miss out on any of the events.
"We wanted to be sure we didn't miss out on anything," Spraker said. "It was the most fantastic week. Everyone was wearing clothes of both teams and just being courteous to each other."
As veterans of several Inductions prior to 2007, they knew Hall of Fame Weekend provides a lot to do, but a few events are exclusive for members. There are still tickets for a few of this year's the Member events, including:
Friday July 24 -
PLAY Ball! with Ozzie Smith, an opportunity to interact at Doubleday Field with the Wizard and fellow Hall of Famers Wade Boggs, Harmon Killebrew and Eddie Murray. (8:30 a.m.)
The Legends for Youth Skills Clinic gives children (5 to 12) a chance to enhance their baseball skills with former major leaguers on historic Doubleday Field. (1:30 p.m.)
Saturday July 25 -
At Connecting Generations, audience participants will compete with Goose Gossage, Ryne Sandberg and Dick Williams in a trivia contest moderated by former major leaguer and MLB Network analyst Harold Reynolds. (3 p.m., Clark Sports Center)
Monday July 27 -
The Legends Series Rickey Henderson and Jim Rice relive the memories from their playing careers. (10:30 a.m., Clark Sports Center)

In coach Kurt Kohler's eyes, his Fort Hays State University volleyball team had a solid spring and continued to improve. The Tigers had two good weeks of fall practice. FHSU returned five all-conference players, including senior middle hitter Jenna Ulrich, who was expected to produce at an All-American caliber level after a big 2012 season.
Then, FHSU stepped on the court at the season-opening Hawaii tournament 17 days ago.
"It looks like we have never seen a volleyball," Kohler said.
Fort Hays finished 0-5 in Hawaii and has lost its first three MIAA matches. That included a 3-0 (25-22, 25-15, 26-24) loss to Pittsburg State University on Saturday afternoon at Gross Memorial Coliseum. Kohler said he was "really confused" with his 0-8 team. Virtually the same squad went 23-14 last year.
"It's embarrassing right now," Kohler said.
It's reminiscent of Kohler's first two seasons where the Tigers often had trouble playing with leads. Opponents have outscored Fort Hays 24-3 in sets this season. In the third set, FHSU had game point at 24-23, but the Gorillas (4-7, 1-2 MIAA) scored three straight points for the victory.
Senior outside hitter Madison Schwartz delivered a frustrated kick in the air after the final point and was near tears after the match. Junior outside hitter Sara Hewson let out a big sigh as the Tigers walked through the handshake line.
"We are just struggling right now," Schwartz said.
Ulrich and Kohler said the team has mental issues in matches, problems that haven't shown up in practice. Ulrich labeled the team "fearless" in practice; the Tigers make a mistake and then quickly move on. In matches, Fort Hays often has letdowns that turn into big runs.
"When you get to this level and you are good enough, you just play," Ulrich said. "You just let your body do what it knows. We were out there and everyone of us gets in these little slumps where we are thinking, 'This way, now this way, now jump.' We are very, very mental."
In the first set, FHSU fell down 5-1, but came back to tie at 16. At 21 all, the Gorillas finished on a 4-1 run.
"We've said this before, we play not to lose instead of playing to win," Ulrich said.
Kohler used multiple combinations, including three setters in juniors Libby Ary and Kelsey Broadwell and freshman Raegan Vanderplas. Schwartz struggled in a 3-1 loss to the University of Central Oklahoma on Friday night and Kohler benched her in the first set in favor of freshman Haley Corkill.
"Trying to find any combination that will work," Kohler said. "Nothing is."
Schwartz played the final two sets and hit a team-high .333 with seven kills. Freshman Rebekah Spainhour, expected to be a backup at the start of the season, saw ample playing time in two sets.
Four regulars hit .224 or above in 2012. This year, no one with more than 10 attacks is above .208.
"I don't know what is happening between practice and when we step on the court for a game, why we are so uptight," Kohler said. "We are horrible right now, 0-8 we don't have anything to lose. We might as well play relaxed."
In the second set, FHSU started with a 5-1 run, but Pittsburg State quickly tied the game at 10.
"We have seen glimpses of just how amazing we are," Ulrich said. "We know we can be there. It's just more frustrating because we know we are good."
PSU scored its final six points of the set on a Tiger blocking error and five straight attack errors. FHSU led nearly all of the third set, including 20-16, but the Gorillas scored four straight points to tie the match. Crystal Whitten paced Pittsburg State with 18 kills and a .325 hitting percentage.
"Our leadership on the court just needs to step up and say, 'We are going to win this game,'" Kohler said. "Quit talking about it, but actually put out the effort to do it."

sierraclub.org - sierra magazine - nov/dec 2013 - bison & boundaries: wild bison in yellowstone
Bison and Boundaries
By Molly Loomis

Take Action! Save Yellowstone's bison.
Zack Waterman and I are postholing through the snow when I notice the unmistakable oversize tracks of a grizzly. Quickly, we amp up our hollers of "HEEEEYYYYYYYY, BEAR!"
We're headed into Yellowstone National Park's once-remote Pelican Valley, a crescent-shaped dale studded with thermal features. More than a century ago, 23 wild bison found sanctuary there after surviving the slaughter that decimated the 50 million Plains bison that once stretched across the country. Standing in a grove of lodgepoles, Waterman and I fall quiet and listen to the wind shaking the pines. We imagine what it might have felt like to stumble upon the last of North America's largest mammal.
"It's pretty profound that where we found the last wild buffalo is also where we have the opportunity to preserve the species," says Waterman, who at the time of our hike was an organizer for the Sierra Club's Greater Yellowstone campaign and is now director of the Club's Idaho Chapter.
While bison are found across the United States, most of them are restricted to bison ranches. (Bison bison—their scientific name—are commonly called American buffalo, but their large shoulder hump and massive head distinguish them from true buffalo.) Only five states with bison populations allow them to move as free-roaming wildlife, like elk and deer. Yellowstone's 3,700 bison have retained a genetic line free of cattle genes. They are our last wild bison.
But "free to roam" doesn't mean "free of risk." Since 1985, 7,189 Yellowstone National Park bison that have stepped across park boundaries have been killed (or "lethally removed," as the lingo goes) by federal and state agencies in an effort to placate local ranchers' fears that bison will infect their livestock with the disease brucellosis (which has been eradicated in livestock but still exists in bison and elk), damage property, and outcompete their cattle for grass.
Recent developments—including large conservation easements and fencing campaigns, new scientific evidence that counters fears of disease transmission, agreements with tribal leaders, and a plan that may open a large new swath of public land to bison year-round—have many bison advocates optimistic that one key state, Montana, may be on the verge of unprecedented compromise. The battle to protect wild bison won't be over—Yellowstone bison are still shot dead on arrival in Idaho, and their movements are strictly regulated in Wyoming—but it's a significant step toward reclaiming a bit more of the "wild" in wildlife.
Our journey to the Pelican Valley, in Wyoming, provides an informal tour of Yellowstone bison management history and the dichotomy between wildlife and livestock. About 50 miles up the road at Mammoth Hot Springs, concrete remnants of old pens can still be found from the days when Yellowstone National Park kept bison on display for visitors, as in a zoo. Just outside the park's massive stone entrance arch, we pass a capture pen where bison that have wandered out of the de facto animal preserve are held before getting shipped off to slaughterhouses if they test positive for brucellosis antibodies.

At the Yellowstone border (the end of a nondescript dirt road), we survey an expanded zone outside the park where bison are tolerated—and for the first time in nearly a decade, tribal hunters were recently able to exercise their treaty rights to hunt bison exiting the park. (Recent court decisions have allowed bison, long a part of Native culture, to be transferred to reservations in northeast Montana.)
Next, we detour across the road to the Yellowstone Basin Inn, where a BISON SAFE ZONE sign hangs in the window. Newly built pole-and-rail fences protect trees, backyards, and gardens from free-roaming bison.
"The lodge owners say the only time there is a problem is when the Montana Department of Livestock shows up," Waterman explains. "For a lot of politicians and folks who testify in support of keeping bison out of Montana, one of the biggest arguments is private property rights. But the irony is that the department, which represents Montana ranchers, can enter private property without a landowner's consent."
We pass a large conservation easement north of the park that in 2011 nearly quadrupled the amount of space available to bison in the Gardiner Basin to 70,000 acres. Next we come upon the holding pens leased by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services for grazing studies and experiments with GonaCon, an immunocontraceptive used to sterilize bison with brucellosis.
About 18 miles outside the park boundary, we rattle over a cattle guard marking the mouth of Yankee Jim Canyon, in Gallatin National Forest. I don't give it a second thought until Waterman explains that the cattle guard, installed in 2011, stops bison from moving farther north. And therein lies the heart of the controversy.
At the end of each winter, after months battling harsh conditions, Yellowstone bison descend en masse from the park into the Gardiner and Hebgen Basins in search of emerging plants and comfortable calving sites. Lands in the Yellowstone region are divided into three distinct zones: Zone I is where bison are tolerated year-round—that is, anywhere within the park. Bison are tolerated in Zone II November through May 15, at which point they are "hazed"—herded by bison wranglers on horseback and sometimes helicopters—back into the park. Farther out, Zone III is off-limits to bison year-round. Depending on the time of year, bison found in Zone III are either hazed into the park or killed. To accommodate a growing bison population, the Sierra Club and other groups have been working to expand Zone I to include two large swaths of U.S. Forest Service land—closer than ever to cattle and ranchers.
Inside the main cabin at Buffalo Field Campaign's headquarters in the Hebgen Basin, an altar displays bison talismans, and buffalo-themed art and civil disobedience stickers decorate the walls. The campaign's volunteers have been zealously documenting bison management efforts since the winter of 1996–97, when Montana's Department of Livestock killed approximately 1,100 Yellowstone bison as they exited the park.
I made my first trip up to the Buffalo Field Campaign's headquarters while snow still blanketed the ground. Stephany Seay, a 10-year veteran of the campaign, showed me the lay of the land. While some ranchers are rabidly anti-bison, several of the Hebgen Basin's ranchers and even residential neighborhoods welcome the bison and other animals that congregate in their front yards like oversize garden gnomes. Prominent neon NO TRESPASSING signs hang in many front windows.
With the May 15 deadline a week away, land management agencies have been staging the bison on Horse Butte, the dividing line between safety and slaughter, for one final haze from Zone II back into the park. Unruly animals that resist will be shot. That's good for land managers, but not for a genome that some say is already at risk, considering the bison management plan's target population of 3,000 in the Yellowstone region—a compromise between land agencies and private interests. It doesn't account for future uncertainties like climate change and disease. The Buffalo Field Campaign claims that 5,000 mature adults are needed to maintain a viable population.
At 8:44 a.m., the campaign's volunteer crews perk up as a Gallatin County sheriff vehicle passes with a Department of Livestock trailer in tow. "The whole shebang is moving out," Cindy Rosin, an art teacher from Queens, New York, with magenta braids, says over the radio.
Two volunteers and I pull our bikes from a truck bed and ride two miles to a turnout overlooking the South Fork of the Madison River, where we spot a herd moving through private land belonging to local rancher Pat Povah. We intersect the haze and spend the next three hours trailing 93 bison, five federal and state riders, and a Forest Service law enforcement vehicle. There's a romantic cowboy feel to it. Except that this isn't a cattle drive; these are wild animals being pushed off migratory land back into what has effectively become a preserve for their species.
Like many stock growers, rancher Povah feels there wasn't a problem until Yellowstone changed its management strategy in the 1980s, allowing herd numbers to fluctuate more naturally. As numbers rose, bison began leaving the park on roads groomed for snowmobiles and snowcoaches and through forests opened up by wildfires in 1989.
"It's the park's responsibility to manage the numbers before they leave the park, and that's not happening," Povah says. "The whole burden is dumped on the surrounding states." He cites the large materials and labor costs associated with repairing fencing, trampled rangeland, and testing cattle for brucellosis.

I doubt a skeptic can sincerely pray that prayer.
I wanted to believe in God about 10 years ago so I started to seek it out. I prayed sincerely that it reveal itself to me.
And my prayers were eventually answered. It's weird because I don't know when I ceased being an agnostic and became a theist. I just realized one day that for the past year or so I had stopped being an atheist. The books by David Hawkins helped shape my beliefs on God and enlightenment. I have a post on the nature of God that is on my old discussion forum, not the one you have a link to. While I don't blindly accept everything written, most of it is pretty much impeccable.
I'll post it here for kicks and giggles.

'Painting Swap'
28 August 2010
'Painting Swap'
Vienna. Day off.
With it having become apparent that, for the sake of safety and humanity, the 360 show requires a proper travel day then a load-in day between each pair of cities, this year's tour schedule is a little more relaxed than that of 2009. Even so, it is extremely rare that the entire crew will ever get two whole days off in one place, as they are having at the moment. There are about 130 of us staying at Mrs. Miggins' B&B, and given how compact Vienna's 1st district is, it was inevitable that we'd spend much of the day running into one another. This was rather nice - not least to see the crew enjoying some actual recuperation time - but also because it gave a real 'village square' feel to proceedings.
I got up early (for me) and went to CaféMozart for breakfast, where I ran into Jake our production manager and Richard the swagman. After this, I headed across the street to the Albertina museum to follow up on a 'painting swap' I'd agreed with Stewie, one of the lampies. I'd sat next to him on the bus coming in from the airport and we got chatting about Vienna. He said his favourite painting was in Vienna, to which I'd replied that mine was too. His favourite, he said, was Alexej von Jawlenski's Young Girl in a Flowered Hat, of which I confessed I'd never heard. He couldn't put into words quite what it is about that particular painting he likes so much, but I guess that's the whole point of art. My painting is Bruegel's Hunters in the Snow, which is at the marvellously named Kunsthistorichesmuseum. Stewie didn't know this painting, so we agreed we'd do an art swap whilst we were here.
Somehow I never managed to make it to the Albertina when I lived here (though spending 14 hours a day in a theatre might have had something to do with it) so it was wonderful to go and finally discover the place. It's an odd mixture of a place both physically (with that architectural fusing of baroque with the aggressively contemporary that the Viennese seem to do so well) and in its collection. The top floor has a show from the permanent collection, which is a fantastic romp through modern painting from the impressionists to the present day, whilst the two floors below house 'state rooms' full of 18th century furniture.
The task of locating a painting about which I knew nothing more than the title gave some vague focus to my peregrination, along with a small sense of victory when I eventually came across Young Girl in a Flowered Hat. I recognised it at once, of course, being one of those works of art that is immediately familiar, even though you'd never be able to say why you know it. I liked it very much, despite my not having ever felt any particular affinity with the Russian avant garde.
After Jawlenski, I took a pit-stop at Sacher's hotel before taking a tram round to the Kunsthistoriches Museum. This place is old-school art museum housed in two colossal Baroque buildings. The Bruegel room is panelled with dark oak and has green velvet couches to slump on whilst contemplating the fate of humanity (a subject that viewing Bruegel tends to bring to mind). There are about ten large works in the room including the magnificent Tower of Babel, plus The Fight Between Carnival and Lent (what a concept!), and of course Hunters in the Snow. Bruegel's subject matter ranges from the domestic to the eschatological but somehow he manages to handle the two extremes with equal ease and with stylistic consistency. Something about the work resonates with me and examining them from a green velvet couch was like having an art bath for half an hour or so.
I had some errands to run and some shopping to do of the socks-and-toothpaste variety but even this I accomplished quickly and completely. It was a bit of a slam-dunk day and all before 3pm. A couple of friends had come over from London today so we met up at Sacher's before strolling through the old town to find dinner. A fine evening all round.

City of art
Dear Willie, thank you very much for your amazing story about the capital of my country!!! Your descriptions about art and architecture are perfect. It is great that you spent so much time going to famous coffee houses like Sacher (yes, Viennese coffee culture is unique) and art museums. The Kunsthistorisches Museum is one of the greatest places, because it shows the whole history of art like paintings from Middle Ages, renaissance and baroque and much more. I am also fascinated by the paintings from Bruegel, because they show impressive landscapes and also many details. And at the Albertina I particularly enjoy the exhibitions with contemporary art.

Dear Willie
Please can you carry on writing your diary even once the tour is over and done with? The working day is so much more civilized when broken up by a mid-afternoon visit to these pages.

Travel day, Melbourne - Auckland.
Within the bands entourage (certainly by comparison to the crews clockwork scheduling) travel departure times are often a little loose. This morning was especially so, due to three contradictory memos which had been emailed out last night and this morning.

I was planning on resurrecting the tour diary today, being the day we were scheduled to fly to Auckland for the load-in tomorrow. However, its now old news that the remainder of the tour dates have been postponed, so Im not going anywhere further than the corner cafe. Its been a very weird week indeed - much akin to driving into a wall.

Social Fractures In Islam
The islamic tradition and our social mores must be kept in tact. This is at risk in a Western culture, with millennials in the youth population that idolise drug and alcohol as a way of life and culture.
Apart from the various health conditions associated with alcohol, binge drinking exposes the victims in the Islamic community to various social conditions that end up in high stress levels, suicidal instincts and depression. Our islamic students who struggle with alcohol are also associated with truancy, poor academic performance, discipline problems and dropping out of school.
Nearly similar problems are also experienced in the corporate world where employees become inconsistent in their productivity and cause various discipline problems. Demotions and job losses are some of the major outcomes of alcoholism in the corporate world, and this has fractured down into our community, and is affecting the islamic world in the Western society.
Obviously, we love the freedom provided for us in America, the United Kingdom and Australia. However, some of the influences in these cultures harm our belief systems. This we cannot integrate and let infiltrate our ideology. What we can permit, is the beauty of the Western desire for expansion and advancement inspire us to work alongside our Western friends.
Mosques also experience diminished fund raising as a result of rampant alcoholism among some of our attendees. Usually, interventions conducted in the rehabilitation centers are usually disruptive and expensive.
Families of the Muslim Community in Crisis
At the familial Islamic foundation, excessive drinking results in heightened stress levels among the affected family members, which often lead to poverty, break-up of families and incidents of violence. This is happening all over Western culture and is filtering into our community. Deaths occasioned by the adverse effects of alcohol accounts for some of the biggest threats to community development.
As such, the problem poses a significant threat to the survival of the family unit. In fact, sociological studies have shown that alcoholic parents tend to desert their families to avoid responsibilities. The problem of homelessness in many parts of the developing world has been associated with the high rates of improvidence, which results from alcoholism.
Sociological forecasts have continued to warn against possible decimation of whole communities in some of the most affected parts of the world. Currently, Russia is one of the countries that face one of the worst population crisis, which is largely blamed on the effects of alcoholism.
