CUNA says FASB impairment plan an improvement
Permanent link
WASHINGTON (1/2/09)—Proposed changes to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance on impairment and interest income measurement generally are an improvement over current rules for recognizing when a security is considered other-than-temporarily-impaired (OTTI), according to a comment letter from the Credit Union National Association (CUNA). Currently, there are two similar models for determining OTTI, but they do include some key differences. One of FASB's primary objectives in issuing the proposed amendment is to increase consistency between the models, an objective supported by the trade group. The model addressed by this proposal is used to determine OTTI for low credit quality securities; this includes any mortgage-backed securities with such a credit rating. "Overall, we are encouraged by this (FASB staff position) and believe holders of securities covered by EITF 99-20 will benefit from these proposed changes in the current dislocated market, but we believe its long-term effects are less certain," wrote CUNA Regulatory Research Counsel Luke Martone. The new FASB guidance would shift the determination of impairment from market participants' assessment of cash flows to management's assessment, a change backed both CUNA. Once determined as OTTI, however, the security would still be required to be marked down to fair value. Use the resource links below to access the comment letter.

* WASHINGTON (1/2/09)—The National Association of Mortgage Bankers said it will seek an injunction against the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) new rule on mortgage fees and disclosures. HUD's rule overhauls how the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act is enforced and most of its significant changes are scheduled to take effect in 2010. The broker trade group wants the court to overturn the new HUD rule because, the group claims, its provisions may be confusing to borrowers and also would create an uneven playing field for lenders (

Exciting news! At the movies today I saw a poster for the new corrupt cop movie "Pride and Glory" starring Edward Norton and Colin Farrell. Norton sports stubbly chin hair, straggly mustache and a cheek "scar." His eyes have the blazing fire of a Patrick Cleburne sitting on Red Pepper getting ready to send forward his men. I saw right then and there that Edward Norton could, indeed, play Cleburne. Farrell could play an infantry brigade commander or a cavalry guy but he does not have the right look at all for Cleburne. I'm still looking around for the right folks for Hood and Forrest. I think Viggo Mortensen could play a very credible Forrest based on his appearnce and role in "Appaloosa."

Human Nature Sinks HIV Prevention Trial
7 March 2013 6:00 pm
ATLANTA—A large-scale study of a biomedical intervention that potentially offers novel options for women to protect themselves from HIV infection has, to the surprise of many researchers, failed. But the results say more about the participants' behavior than the effectiveness of the products being tested.
At the 20th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections held here from 3 to 6 March, infectious disease specialist Jeanne Marrazzo of the University of Washington, Seattle, reported the disappointing results of the study known as VOICE, which stands for Vaginal and Oral Interventions to Control the Epidemic. As Marrazzo explained, VOICE began in September 2009 and ended in August 2012, enrolling 5029 women from South Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. The study assessed three different strategies to what's known as pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, which aims to protect uninfected people by giving them anti-HIV drugs each day either orally or vaginally. In one approach, women took a pill that contained the anti-HIV drugs tenofovir and emtricitabine. A second arm of VOICE tested tenofovir pills alone, whereas women in the third arm were given a vaginal gel that contained tenofovir. Other trial participants received inert gel or dummy pills.
In all, 312 women became infected with HIV during the study, and there was no statistically significant difference in infection rates between women who received the placebos or PrEP. Tenofovir gel and oral PrEP have worked in other studies with women. But Marrazzo stressed that the VOICE participants simply didn't use the products as instructed. "By several measures the adherence was disappointingly low," Marrazzo said.
Although the researchers attempted to monitor adherence during the study by asking women to report usage and to return unused pills or gel applicators each month, that turned out to badly misrepresent reality. The women reported using PrEP 90% of the time, and their unused returns seemed to validate that figure. But when the researchers later analyzed blood levels of drugs in the women, they found that no more than 30% had evidence of anti-HIV drugs in their body at any study visit. "There was a profound discordance between what they told us, what they brought back, and what we measured," Marrazzo said.
The sobering reality, she said, is that the failure of VOICE says more about human nature than the biomedical mechanisms at work. "We think all this time about these grand interventions, and maybe people don't want to use them from the get-go," Marrazzo said. "We need to start listening to people, and if you're not going to use this, we're not going to test this."
But virologist Robert Grant of the University of California, San Francisco, who led a large oral PrEP study that worked in men who have sex with men, said he suspects the real problem is the placebo-controlled nature of the study. The women, he said, would have had more incentive to use PrEP if they knew that they were receiving gel or pills that had drug in them. "We need open label demonstration projects that give young women a chance to use PrEP if they know what it is," Grant said. He added that the women may also have heard about results from the other PrEP studies that worked. "In retrospect, how do you expect people to adhere to a study drug when they think they already know the result."
Sharon Hillier, a reproductive infectious disease specialist at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, heads the Microbicide Trials Network that staged the trial and disagreed with Grant. "It's a bit like the female condom, which likely 'works,' but very few women want it even when you give it away," Hillier said. "PrEP has a place and will be an effective strategy for some people. But if we really want to make a dent in this epidemic, we need to pay attention to what high-risk young women told us: We love getting the services provided by your study but we do not desire the products you are testing."

Solar air heating system at UNH lauded for efficiency, cost-savings
University of New Hampshire Campus Energy Manager Matt O'Keefe checks out the newly installed solar air heating system on the roof of Kingsbury Hall in Durham. The project is expected to save the university between $8,000 and $15,000 each year in energy costs to heat the south wing of the building, which houses laboratories with high ventilation needs. (GRETYL MACALASTER PHOTO)
Kingsbury Hall's south wing houses a number of laboratories with significant ventilation needs.
"Essentially we had all the right things we needed for a good test application," he said.
A Canadian-made system called the Lubi solar air system was applied over the existing roof wall, creating about 2,400-square feet of perforated plastic panels backed by a dark solar absorber, with a gap in between. During the heating season, the system is turned on and heated air collects in the pocket, and is sucked in through new duct work to the existing ventilation system.
This past fall, the university installed an air sampling system to constantly monitor air quality throughout Kingsbury, allowing them to significantly reduce ventilation demands.
The installation was not complete by the end of the last heating season, so testing will begin this winter to see how effective the system actually is.
O'Keefe said the technology has been around for decades, but is not widely used, and he is not sure why. He said it is really a "no-brainer" based on payback, efficiency, ease of installation, and low maintenance.
More information about the technology is available at shiftnrg.com.

versatile & warm
March 26, 2011
i got the carhartt extremes coverall for motorcycling in cold weather. It's a terrific piece of gear because it's a full body suit that provides great wind protection and it's warm as heck. I wear the coveralls over everything: the buttons on the trouser legs help me get in & out without taking off my boots, and it's roomy enough that I can wear a jacket or vest on my upper body if I want.
Pros: Build quality, Lasts forever, Great valuemust have
December 31, 2011
No snow yet, but trying it on it is warm, not bulky/easy to move around in, excellent quality. Runs large, measure 6'2" and the tall was about 6 inches too long.
February 07, 2013
I have a Carhartt coverall, regular, quilt-lining and it's a size 46 which fits great and some room for layering. I'm 5'10 and close to 200 pounds..the 46 reg in the Extremes model could probably fit in someone twice my size and still be able to zip it up !!! The sizing for that product has got NOTHING to do with the rest of the Carhartt sizing chart so be very carefull when ordering. As far as the quality of the product, it's just great..too bad it's so hard to find the right size.
best coverall
October 13, 2010
my son loves these coveralls. warm and easy to wash. great item for the winter
Pros: Lasts forever, PerformanceGood Choice for Motorcycling
November 01, 2011
I purchased these coveralls for winter riding. The fit is large but overall quality is excellent. Just now in late fall but a with few 34 degree mornings the coveralls have kept me toasty.
Pros: Build quality, Lasts forever, Ease of use, Great value, Cons: runs largeGreat Product and Retailer
November 09, 2009
It hasn't been real cold here yet to give these a real test, but have owned many Carhartt coveralls before and can tell these are definitely a step up in quality. They fit well and should do me a good job since I spend a lot of time outdoors on the farm. Altrec handled my order promptly and the item was received on-time. Fed Ex driver messed up and left my package at a neighbor's house and I only found it by tracking on line and when I saw it "was delivered" (wrong) I called. Ended up talking to the driver and he described the house he left it at. Not Altrec's fault but they are probably interested in Fed Ex performance for future contract negotiations. All said and done, I would buy from Altrec again.
November 21, 2011
nice product. Should be warm this winter. If wearing over clothes, buy several sizes larger. Only owed it for a few weeks now, so not really sure how it will wear, but other Carhardt items wear well.
March 06, 2012
one of the best products from carhart, fit perfectly and are very warm and comfortable. Other brands are not as insulated and require wearing heavier clothing with them. This is the second pair of Carhartt coveralls I've purchased in a couple of years and these were less expensive. I was very happy with this selection and especially the price and quality of the garment.
Pros: Build quality, Lasts forevershorter with more room for the belly
October 28, 2013
Haven't tried them in severe cold yet, but these appear like they will be the warmest coveralls that I have ever had. The only way these could be better is if there was a shorter, fatter size option. I know, go on a diet! That said, these are the best fit I have ever been able to order. Highly recommended.
Pros: Build qualityNovember 29, 2011
I bought this for my father-in-law, and he absolutely loves it! He states it will totally keep him warm, fits well, great comfort, and overall great quality!
EXCELLENT WARMTH and WIND PROTECTION!!!
October 06, 2013
I work outside and it often gets down to 7 degrees! These keep me dry and warm with only a pair of pants and long sleeve underneath!!! Truly amazing protection against the 45-60 mph winds that are normal in the mountains! These are the best purchase I have made in years!!! They do tend to run a little big but it's okay if you plan on wearing jeans or a lightweight sweatshirt underneath.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great valueLove Carhartt products!
January 12, 2010
I purchased this suit for my grandson. Carhart always makes quality merchandise. This suit is synthetic; but my grandson is a welder so I returned this one and order the cotton version.
Carhartt Arctic Lined Coverall X06
December 14, 2011
This item is wonderfully designed with heavy duty zippers, plentiful room in the pockets and seat and they're black to boot. They do seem to run a little large for those in warmer parts of the country who normally don't wear a lot of winter clothing. I'll be using them for the motorcycle ride on cooler days in Texas. Be sure to check online with carhartt for proper fit instructions.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great valueGreat Product Great Price

After my experiences in the hospital system and thoroughly examining both sides of the vaccination debate, it is clear that the issue is not ' settled long ago, and laid to rest' as most of the medical profession says it is.
The history of vaccination is more complicated than most people understand. The anti-vaccine movement is hundreds of years old.
It heated up in the 1800s, when parents in the UK became fed up with watching their healthy infants and children become ill or die shortly after the smallpox vaccinations or get sick from smallpox anyway. Parents and doctors who refused smallpox vaccines, risked losing their homes, their furniture and their livelihoods if Judges found against them.
The smallpox vaccines were made from pus scraped off of diseased cows' belly sores, contaminated with disease matter from a variety of animals and in some cases, humans. The smallpox vaccine history is not what you think it is, if you think vaccines wiped out smallpox.
Doctors and those administering vaccines are supposed to obtain "informed consent" before vaccinating. Informed consent is not possible because parents are not given all the information they would require in order to understand the most important issues.
I do not consider it my place to tell anyone whether to vaccinate or not. It is my place to understand as much as I can about vaccines and give people a more complete understanding from which to make their choices. This has never been a priority to the public health services. In fact there is ample documentation that the priority was quite the opposite, and actually to quell "any possible doubts, whether well founded or not" regarding vaccines. That priority has placed many lives in jeopardy as major problems with vaccination were and are overlooked by vaccine policy makers.
There are many problems with the science that underpins vaccine information.
There is a paucity of studies comparing never vaccinated children, with partially or fully vaccinated children. In terms of safety studies, a major issue is that most vaccine studies use another vaccine as the control placebo, or use the background substance of the vaccine. There is only one recent study (Cowling) where a true saline placebo was used, rather than another vaccine or the carrier fluid containing everything except the main antigen.
See this this article as an example of how false placebos are regularly used. Needless to say, giving untested vaccines which can often be unknowingly contaminated, and with unproven-effectiveness vaccination is a "medical experiment", and in my opinion, violates the core principles of the Nuremberg Code (informed and unambiguous consent). Most vaccines have never undergone carcinogenicity testing for example, and likewise are rarely studied in pregnant women, which results in people taking vaccines, either by a proclaimed "emergency"; by a "public health" order from the WHO; or by threat of loss of rights over one's children or of imprisonment; or by threat of being abandoned by the medical professionals supposedly providing care.
"Informed consent" is devoid of all meaning when people are tricked into taking vaccines by the use of misleading or frightening "information."
Parents must learn the ways to take care of their children when they get the common childhood illnesses, whether they vaccinate or not, since vaccinated children can still get the diseases they were vaccinated against. Effective home-nursing most often allows children to recover naturally, and in most cases, the child will have long-term immunity.
Some vaccine policies have robbed teenagers and adults of the opportunity to get re-exposed and continue with natural immunity. For example, with measles, placental transfer of antibodies is limited to a few months instead of over a year in vaccinated mothers. Sometimes, mothers' breast milk is devoid of the necessary antibodies they need to protect their newborns – even if they are vaccinated.
The above exemplifies but one of the many potential consequences we face as a result of vaccination for measles and the other childhood illnesses such as rubella.
Medical schools do not educate about the contents, dangers, effectiveness or necessity of vaccines. Most medical doctors are fearful of the natural childhood illnesses because they don't have any idea how to safely assist patients through them; and my limited mainstream treatment options often caused the diseases to be worse than they have to be. Yet surprisingly, I discovered other methods which work extremely well, which were never presented as part of medical training.
You may want read this short article from Stanford Medicine, where the limitations of immunology are plainly spelled out here.
The public is repeatedly deceived in order to maintain participation in vaccination. All sorts of tactics are used. One of the most popular, is to say that everyone should get vaccinated in order to protect the un-vaccinated. This is commonly known as "herd immunity." HERE is an article I wrote on the subject.
Doctors repeat the advice, "We have to vaccinate them while they are young so the 'take rate' is high." A case-in-point is an article for which I was interviewed:
Bangor Metro: "A Shot to The Heart"
In this article, one of Maine's supposed top experts is giving misleading advice. Maine's vaccine expert says:
Concerns about how much a young child's immune system can handle at one time have prompted some parents to stagger vaccinations. But Fanburg points out that there is no medical data to support the practice, adding that it's actually more beneficial to vaccinate infants, rather than wait until they are older. "Children have a better 'take' of vaccines in their first two years of life," he says. "There is a higher rate of immunogenicity, which is the child's ability to produce antibodies to the vaccine antigen.
The person making this statement seems to lack understanding as to how an infant's immune system develops and why. If he understood, he would pause for some time, before making such a dogmatic statement.
A baby's immune system produces only very small amounts of IL-1B and TNF-alpha. There was a time when experts thought that this was simply a DEFECT in all newborn humans. In 2004, Chelvarajan suggested that if vaccine manufacturers added various immune system kickers into vaccines, this would solve the problem and fix these perfectly normal children's immune systems, which are so often described in terms of "defective", or "inadequate", when they are completely age appropriate, with characteristics shared by all land mammals.
Subunit vaccines like HepB, Strep Pneumo, Hib and Meningococcal have potent "adjuvants" - such as aluminum. Without them, the baby's immune system sits there and does nothing. An adjuvant creates a red-alert situation forcing the infant's innate immune system to respond in the opposite manner to the way it should function in the first year of life. Pro-vaccine immunologists see nothing wrong with this.
However, by 2007, Chelvarajan was seeing things differently, and stated in the last paragraph, that whereas in the past, they had considered this a "defect", they now considered it:an important developmental program when he said:
This anti-inflammatory phenotype may be beneficial to the neonate at a time when tissue growth and remodelling events are taking place at a rapid pace… thus the inability of the neonate to respond to infection with encapsulated bacteria may be the risk the organism takes for successful development.
In order to adjust to the world appropriately, an "anti-inflammatory phenotype" is critical to an infant. Breast milk acts as a stand-in innate immune system, which protects the baby from toxin-mediated and other diseases, by supplying anti-inflammatory substances in the milk along with other immune particles which prevent bacteria and viruses from adhering, or kills them outright.
This protects the baby, acting as "in loco" defense, while the infant immune system is being programmed to know self from non-self. This same pattern of development is seen in laboratories where they study non-human mammals, and is ubiquitous across mammals, showing that the anti-inflammatory phenotype is crucial to successful survival both short and long term.
With breastmilk support, an infant immune system develops appropriately and systematically - in it's own due time, according to the genetic program placed in the baby from the day the child was conceived. What is that master plan? To enable the infant to safely transition into immunological independence with the minimum level of inflammation possible. Can that system be derailed? Yes it can. What can derail the neonatal immune system? Anything which triggers an inflammatory response in the mother while she is pregnant and in the baby by the use of a vaccination.
Ironically the medical research is very clear about one thing. It's not the "infection" per se that causes the problem. It's the activation of the immune system. How do they know it's not just the infection? Because stress, toxins and other non-infectious antigens can trigger the immune system cascade, in very similar ways to infection.
If it is important for successful development of a baby to allow the RISK of infection by NOT allowing two key parts of the primary infection defense to "fire", what's the OTHER risk you might take, if you force an immune system to do something it's not supposed to do? A vaccine by definition, causes repeated, chronic inflammation at set time intervals. Vaccines are designed to create peripheral inflammation, and vaccine adjuvants and antigens can cause brain inflammation, create allergies, and autoimmunity – resulting in constant inflammation all around the body. For some children vaccines can also cause mitochondria to stop working properly.
So, you might now be thinking…if a baby's default position is to NOT respond to toxin-mediated bacterial diseases, what chance does a baby have to survive in this world? If you would like to learn more about neonatal immunity, read this 3 part blog series, and take note of the medical articles used:
Infant immune system development.
Provaccine doctors sometimes pull "peer reviewed literature" to supposedly prove their point, yet a closer look at their own literature often proves otherwise – as does a closer look at the sick population of vaccinated children they supposedly care for.
Furthermore a close look at medical text books down the decades reveals a very interesting trend. In the 1920s and 30s, doctors were often quite relaxed over diseases which today are presented as more deadly than the plague. Many grandparents today are completely bemused at the way the medical profession describes infections which were to most of them, straightforward holidays off school.
This is not stating that there were never serious consequences. There sometimes were. However, today, most parents erroneously believe that every child will die from diseases which most grandparents found were nuisance value only.
The medical system now considers measles more dangerous than the plague, and the most dangerous disease known to man. Yet there is no need to be afraid of measles, because well nourished children who get adequate vitamin A have an unremarkable course to recovery. Boredom might be their biggest whine.
I have discovered that whooping cough isn't something to be scared of either. In the days when my only tool was an antibiotic, whooping cough occasionally caused me considerable concern, but not today. I've watched many parents all over the world treat whooping cough every simply using high doses of vitamin C and occasionally homeopathy. They see rapid improvement and no serious complications. But you will not read about them in "peer reviewed literature" and your doctor doesn't know about them, because sick children – the ones they see and often create – are the only ones counted in the morbidity statistics. Healthy children who uneventfully recover, are not seen by the medical system and therefore are not counted.
The serious consequences from most childhood diseases comes from just a few things; infant formula, cow's milk, common medical drugs, malnutrition, and vaccines, as well as a lack of knowledge about simple methods of home nursing.
All of these barriers to recovery are completely avoidable in the USA and many other countries and that is WHY we see so many healthy unvaccinated children when we take the time to look.
See how mortality for the common illnesses had declined significantly long before the vaccines were created.
There a few common misconceptions about NOT vaccinating:
- You are putting other people at risk by not vaccinating. At risk for what? Chicken pox? Ask your grandmother if she knew anyone who died from measles. Different diseases have different degrees of severity in different age groups. The misconception that "if you don't vaccinate, you place others at risk" is based on an assumption that vaccinated people do not get the disease they were vaccinated for. Did you know that a controlled study in school age children showed that of all the whooping cough that was diagnosed, over 86% of the children were fully vaccinated and up to date for the whooping cough vaccine? There are similar studies showing that mumps and measles breakouts often effect the vaccinated. People who are vaccinated can have their immune systems altered in a manner that often leads to susceptibility to other infectious diseases, and can also leave them vulnerable to the disease they were vaccinated for due to a phenomenon called "original antigenic sin". What is "original antigenic sin"? This is where an injected vaccine antigen programs the body to react in a manner that is incomplete, and different to the natural response to infection . When the vaccinated contact that disease again, they are unable to mount an effective response to the pathogen because vital first steps are missing. The whooping cough vaccine is an example of this.
Natural immunity is comprehensive and longer-lasting. Many vaccine enthusiasts like to invoke the term "herd immunity" to make the argument that the non-vaccinated pose a risk to the vaccinated. But the concept of herd immunity has no relevance to the vaccinated as it was coined in reference to natural immunity in populations and what level the least epidemics occurred. There is no evidence whatsoever that having an 85% or 95% vaccination rate protects from outbreaks. This theory has been disproved time and again in highly vaccinated populations.
- The non-vaccinated spread disease. Actually it is the opposite. Live vaccines are known to spread to close contacts. Here is one recent example.
Live vaccines can spread disease.
We also know that in pertussis (whooping cough) those who are vaccinated are more likely, due to original antigenic sin, to be carriers of the bacteria longer than the non-vaccinated, even when asymptomatic. Full text article available here.
By 2004, James Cherry pointed out that adults, re-vaccinated against pertussis, don't develop any antibacterial activity whatsoever. He went on to explain why. The current vaccines contains a few antigens, which create "original antigenic sin", whereby the immune response to the vaccine is abnormal. That first-learned response then becomes the default position the immune system takes, on future booster shots. So in the case of the whooping cough vaccines there are key protein virulence factors which have not been included in the vaccines including ACT, TCF, TCT, as well as BrkA and DNT.
Because the first three are not included, the default immune response, does not prevent colonization, and furthermore, Cherry stated that the "original antigenic sin" results in the vaccinated being unable to clear the bacteria from their lungs. The non-vaccinated have immunity to all the front line virulence factors and very quickly clear the bacteria on re-exposure.
Mothers who have been vaccinated, may develop surrogate markers which can be measured in a laboratory, but these do not guarantee efficient immune responses after exposure to the natural disease, because their first "learned response" was incorrect. Furthermore, they are still not sure "what" the surrogate marker actually is for pertussis.
There is similar information on measles, the other disease that has been portrayed by the media as a danger to the population due to non-vaccinated children. But this information is not accurate, nor is measles a dangerous disease in people who have sufficient vitamin A. Damien pointed out that the vaccinated are 5-8 times more susceptible to asymptomatic infection than the non-vaccinated. How then, are the non-vaccinated solely responsible for the recent outbreaks in measles?
Many vaccines are said to be "attenuated" or modified-live and supposedly do not infect, but over the decades we have seen how those attenuated viruses mutate once they are in a human and can spread more virulent disease than what is being vaccinated for. The oral polio vaccines in Nigeria today is a case in point. But this can happen with any attenuated viral vaccine.
The original Salk polio vaccines were supposed to be killed vaccines and yet they infected thousands of people, the household contacts and the community, killing and paralyzing over 200 people. This figure is thought to be a gross underestimate of the damage done.
It is not uncommon to see a child recently vaccinated for chicken pox develop shingles or chicken pox. We see this often enough. I've also seen shingles vaccine (which has 14 times the amount of virus as the chickenpox vaccine) provoke shingles in an elderly woman days after the vaccine was given. And strange enough, it sent all the doctors taking care of her reading to see if shingles vaccines can cause shingles, because doctors know almost nothing about vaccines.
Here are things to consider when you hear of an outbreak of an infectious disease: "How many of the affected were fully vaccinated and how many people died or were hospital?"
Another question to bear in mind is, "Were the people hospitalized because the disease was really serious, or because the family didn't know how to deal with it, and responded to a medical profession hard-wired to believe everyone with that disease can die?" In other words, "Was the admission to hospital really necessary?"
- Deaths from these terrible diseases that once plagued humanity will return to prevaccine levels, if we do not keep up the vaccines. We can see from the above graph that the mortality of these diseases was drastically declining prior to vaccination. But in addition, you might want to know the more rational explanation for deadly disease decline in modern times. It's not vaccination. See the link below.
What is the evidence for a causal link between hygiene and infections?
Here is more information on vaccination myths:
All the reduction even for TB in USA, was achieved BEFORE any vaccines of any sort were offered, and most of the reductions for all diseases, were achieved before antibiotics became commercially available in about 1950 as well. So what did that? It wasn't vaccines. Yet all the countries which used the BCG as front line "protection", saw an identical decline to the one which we saw in USA using no TB vaccine.
If you compare graphs for death decline in diphtheria and scarlet fever, they are almost identical. Yet there never was a vaccine for scarlet fever. Scarlet fever and its resulting complication, rheumatic fever – has clearly been shown in the medical literature, to be nutritionally driven. This is why if you do find someone who says they had scarlet fever, it is primarily in more impoverished, war-torn, hungry and poverty stricken countries. In developed countries where rheumatic fever is an issue, it's primarily seen in the less educated groups, whose nutritional understanding is limited, or their access to good food is limited.
Yet under-educated people in stable social environments, without much money, who understand and follow effective nutritional pathways, will be on the scale of low susceptibility because it really is the nutrition and well being, that counts. It just so happens that low education, homelessness and low money often co-exist.
The reason it's a significant problem in the less educated, less nourished groups where poverty is rampant, is because poor nutrition, historically correlated with higher rheumatic fever. All of us carry Strep A regularly, but the well-fed amongst us don't get scarlet fever, let alone it's complication, rheumatic fever.
This point is well studied enough to lay aside any concern over whether or not correlation implies causation.
Historically, in the case of infectious diseases, good nutrition has been and still is, a major preventive factor, that has led to enormous declines of morbidity and mortality from most infectious diseases.

Ice chippers release freon in Aquinas building
GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- As chemical spills go, the one at Aquinas College Wednesday afternoon was minor, left no one injured, and was caused by chipping at an ice block.
It happened around 4:30 p.m. at Aquinas' Performing Arts Center.
A group of students was carving an ice block on top of a freezer when one of the students hit a refrigeration coil and released freon.
Grand Rapids firefighters say four students were exposed to the freon and reported respiratory trouble. They were treated at the scene.
Workers ventilated the building and removed the freezer.

Spurs' Ginobili will likely be unpredictable until the end
- W. Scott Bailey
- Reporter/Project Coordinator- San Antonio Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | Facebook
Don't be shocked if Manu Ginobili calls it a career before the end of this season — not because he is a quitter, but because his body can't do what it once could.
On the other hand, don't be surprised if he strings together a batch of barn-burner games, leading all of us to believe that the Manu Man of 2005 is back in the saddle.
That's where we are now with Ginobili.
Anything is possible at this point, and nothing is certain.
Ginobili began this season in street clothes, bothered by back issues.
Since then, he's struggled to regain his rhythm.
Eight games into this 2012-2013 season, Ginobili's scoring average and shooting percentage were down considerably from his career averages.
He's turned the ball over more frequently and had a tough time finishing at the rim.
Even the free-throw shooting has been off.
The stats suggest that time and too many tumbles may be taking their toll on the player affectionately nicknamed El Contusion.
Even when Ginobili gets hot for a stretch, and he will, how long can he sustain it?
How long will it be before he has to sit again because of another ailment?
One thing is certain: The healing takes longer as we get older.
And no one, except for Tim Duncan perhaps, has figured out how to turn back the clock.
I wouldn't want to be in Gregg Popovich's shoes.
At what point does he make the call that it's time to rethink Ginobili's role and reduce expectations?
Are we there already?
Ginobili would argue to the bitter end that we are not.
But if you watch closely, there may be signs that Popovich is leaning more on others these days.
In Los Angeles, with the Spurs trailing the Lakers by a point and with precious few seconds on the clock, Popovich called a play for Danny Green, who buried a three, giving San Antonio an important road win against a Western Conference rival.
Ginobili, who had scored 3 points in nearly 19 minutes of court time, missing all but one of his eight shots, was on the bench.
It was unfamiliar territory for Ginobili, who was named the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year in 2008, has appeared in two All-Star games and been a key part of three NBA championships.
But then a few nights later, against Denver, Ginobili hung 20 points on the Nuggets and there were flashbacks to those championship years.
Ginobili doesn't believe his performance against Denver was a fluke.
But at this stage of the game, which Ginobili should we expect to see more often from here out?
This is a young man's game, and Ginobili is no spring chicken.
The clock is ticking.
Father Time is watching.
Even Ginobili must wonder at this point what comes next.
Rotten fish
The Miami Marlins should have taken the bait back in 2006 and packed the loading vans.
South Texas would have been a better fit than South Florida.
Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff tried to convince Marlins ownership several years ago that San Antonio would embrace its troubled franchise.
Instead, the Marlins chose to push for public funding for a new $500 million ballpark in Miami.
Now, the front office is taking heat for unloading players, and owner Jeff Loria is fending off questions about whether he is going to sell the team.
Marlins Park opened back in the spring.
Its tenant finished the season ranked 18th among Major League Baseball's 30 franchises in attendance, drawing a total of 2.2 million fans.
The Colorado Rockies and Minnesota Twins won fewer games than the Marlins but attracted more fans — without the help of a new stadium.
Last week, the Marlins drew plenty of heat for a trade that sent four of their top players to the Toronto Blue Jays.
In doing so, the Marlins dumped well over $100 million in salary, according to multiple reports — triggering a fire storm of criticism aimed at the team's management and ownership.
The Washington Post's Thomas Boswell says Loria and his team's front office have turned Miami's expensive ballpark into a "toxic dump," a place that "no sane player" will want to call home.
Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan says Loria and Marlins President Dave Samson have rendered themselves "radioactive" as a result of their dismantling of the franchise.
Then there is Miami radio host Jeff DeForrest, who claims that the only way the Marlins could alienate fans more than they already have would be for Fidel Castro toss out the first pitch next season.
Come to think of it, San Antonio may have provided a better home for the Marlins, but we should be thankful that they passed on an opportunity to relocate here.
Had they come, we would have had to deal with this circus.
No city deserves that.
Ratings Game
There has been a lot of talk about how the NFL is working to improve its in-stadium experience to compete with the new technology that is keeping more Americans at home.
As it turns out, not all of those folks who stay at home are watching football.
SportsBusiness Daily, an affiliated publication, reports that NFL TV ratings are down so far this year compared to a year ago.
ESPN and NBC have seen a dip in viewership for their prime-time telecasts.
Ratings for regional day games on Fox were down 3 percent through week 10 of the 2012 NFL season. The numbers are worse for the network's first five national telecasts, which were down 6 percent.
CBS' overall NFL ratings were down 1 percent through week 10.
While the NFL has seen its at-home viewership decline this season, its games are still the most-watched programming on TV.

The nights are getting colder, the winds more biting, and the homeless men who live under bridges or in abandoned houses in Shelbyville draw their threadbare clothing more tightly around them.
People know they are there, but nobody talks about it much. Most people may have a fleeting moment of pity when they see them, but then they most likely go on their way, home to their warm houses.

Eyeshadow Decoded: Which Shades are Best for your Eye Color
Your eyes are the most important features of your face… they tell the most about you. Your eyes tell your mood, your personality, and your life story! Studies show that mates are more attracted to their partner's eyes than any other physical area. So why wouldn't you want to accentuate those peepers?!
Wearing the wrong eyeshadow color can actually detract from your eyes' natural shade! How? It's basic knowledge of the color wheel.
In general, opposite colors are complimentary. Usually if you wear an eyeshadow color that is next to your eye color, right or left, it will "clash" with your eyes and detract from their natural shade. This is true for the most part; if you have green eyes, blue eyeshadow won't make them sparkle.
However when considering complimentary colors, the color wheel is not always correct - there are some shades that work for any eye color! These are:
+ Neutrals
- Brown
- Gold
- Black
- Charcoal
- Taupe
- Silver
- Cream
- White (etc)
+ Purples
- Plum
- Lilac
- Violet
When playing with metallics, you have to consider the undertone - is it cool or warm? For instance, cool would be silver, and warm would be gold.
The right undertones can flatter both your eyes and your skin. Cool skintones look great with cool-toned eyeshadow, and vice versa. If your eyes have more of a golden tone than grey, you might want to go for gold eyeshadow.
So here we go, what is best for YOUR eye color?
Unfortunately, those of us with baby blues are rather limited when it comes to colors. Stick with neutrals, cool or warm, and plum/lilac shades. For a real pop of color, go for a bright yellow or light orange!
Neutrals are generally the way to go, although you can also pull off light pinks and purples as well.
You lucky boob, you're the one that can get away with anything. Since your eyes are already "neutral", you can play with any shade on the color wheel and still have it be complimentary. If you have lighter hair, go with more muted shades - the darker your hair is, the brighter you can go.
This unique shade is really just a variation of blue, green, or brown. If you've got hazel eyes, you'll know that they tend to change shades depending on the day, or the lighting. Usually they'll lean towards green, yellow, or blue - in which case you should accentuate that color with a matching shadow. Slightly green eyes will pop more with green paired with a neutral, like brown. If you want to play it safe, stick to those universally flattering shades!
It's always fun to play with colors, so don't let fear of a bright shade keep you from trying it out!! You'll never know what works for YOU, so experiment and have fun. Makeup is a never-ending artform, and there are really no rules.

Belichick Giving Us Lots Of Action
L. Smith, Hochstein, O'Connell and Bruschi are now gone.
We have questions about the backup interior linemen, linebackers and quarterbacks. We wonder what new surprises Belichick has for us. Who might we sign up? Who will go on IR? |
Re: Belichick Giving Us Lots Of Action
I have a sneaking feeling there will still be movement at Linebacker, but maybe not until cutdowns.
Re: Belichick Giving Us Lots Of Action
Kinda moves people to think 4-3 more and more...

Forgot to mention, and somebody REALLY should make an Avengers thread for the latest issue:
spoilers:end of spoilers
Half of this issue deals with a masked female who sends out a distress signal to the Avengers from Innerspace. Sounds like Janet could be returning.
Currently reading: Nova, Deadpool, Swamp Thing (probation), GLC (probation), Manifest Destiny (probation)
Simon showed up for a few pages in this weeks issue of Avengers. i really hope he goes back to' normal' soon.
I might even argue he might end up looking better than normal.
I've said this many times... but Simon was always the under achiever as far as top tier strong men go in marvel. But his brief heel turn I think may have upped his cred a bit. He man handled the Red Hulk pretty well in the last ish... we'll see if it sticks.
Now that Simon seems cured of his farting ionic energy induced craziness (I got to find out what he took. Those gases really can drive one out of his mind), I hope someone sees fit to put him in prominance as a good guy once again. Hickman seems to be investing on so many new high level bricks for his new team, but he's leaving out a few of the great ones he already has. If not him, I hope someone else does use Simon as an all-around good guy again. IMHO, we already have enough "layered", "complex" anti-heros around.
I have heard rumors about Simon being apart of "Uncanny Avengers" Book. I would enjoy him being on the team a lot, especially with Wanda their as well. They can support each other and maybe start up a relationship again.(especially after they both where so neglected the past few years) Also, they can both understand each other better with what both to them have gone threw more than anyone else could.

"You were wrong, Thor, it Never Ends...and Each Trial is Harder than the last!"
Wanda Maximoff - Earth 616
Well that kinda flies against Rick's PR arguments does it not? Hard to imagine someone having worse numbers then Simon on the Avenger Side.
Black History Month & 29 Days in February
I though similar with Havok on the Team, did not get why he was their or that he may not last long. But after the First issue and how the character was done I was impressed. So I give Rick R. credit with making characters who do not seem like much at first glance more relevant. It would be a bold move to have Simon, but I think Rick R. could write him well.
"You were wrong, Thor, it Never Ends...and Each Trial is Harder than the last!"
Wanda Maximoff - Earth 616
That was before Dissassembled and their current issues though. Vision's absence was his choice, and not Wanda's.
I'd like to see some sort of resolution to Viz and Wanda's current....whatever this is now. He's, rightly, angry. She clearly still loves him. Other than AvX #0 and a couple of panels in AvX it hasn't been addressed.
Just a sit down, "geeze, our lives are cocked up, eh? *hug,hug, tears*" goodbye scene....and then let them on with their lives.
If that's out of the way, I think Simon would be awesome for her. He's always adored her, and she deserves that. As it stands now, Viz and Wanda are both still hurting and carrying around some baggage over this.
....I may or may not care a little too much about these things. :p
Freedom is merely the ability to live without fear of persecution.

This is mostly to the clock crew blamers: so what if the clock crew effectivly runs this site. If you hate their animations so much I have three words for you: DON'T WATCH THEM! sure they suck, sure they cheat the rules by voting themselfs into protection. Just remember: by veiwing their animations, you are giving them more power and possibly awards. But as most people won't read this, do as you want. And no I don't have any animations myself, so blam me all you want.
And to the clock crew: some of you have talant, please stop waisting in on lousy annoying pieces of junk.

Impact of Rural Basic Human Capital Investment on Regional Development Ability
From the perspective of human resources development and regional economic cooperation, this paper expounds the basic conditions for socio-economic transformation and development in underdeveloped rural areas, and the ways to acquire basic human capital. On the basis of this, this paper further analyses the regional competitiveness difference arising from human capital difference, and proposes that we should solve this problem through sufficient supply of rural compulsory education.Download Info
