Part 2 in this three part series will deal with old wives tales. In the (nearly 2 years) I have been blogging, I have run across all manner of (to me at least) wacky misconceptions about vaccines. So I figured it would be easier to put them in one place.
The vast, vast majority of these tales are based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the underlying concepts of vaccination. But this ignorance has to be covered and explained otherwise it will keep existing.
And this is an ignorance that is deadly. The Taliban have killed vaccinators. And as I was writing this someone sent me a link indicating that between nine to twelve health workers in Nigeria were killed during an anti-polio drive. The anti-vax who target such campaigns often read into the "conspiracy" and "old wives tales" about vaccines. These are ideas flogged by anti-vax online and also by people such as the Taliban.
My personal tale involves a dead child and a mother desperately clutching a hand out about vaccines from people such as Jagannath Chaterji, Mike Adams and Viera Schiebner about the dangers of vaccines. Her son died of rabies, she waited in hope that he would live because she was so scared of the vaccine.
Anti-vax kills in more ways than one. The ignorance has a cost and the people who spread it are immune to criticism. They live in a bubble and never really leave it. However for those on the border, I present to you some of the more common arguments made.
You are Using it as a Weapon/Mind Control
The problem with this argument is that it is highly delusional. And bullets are faster, cheaper and better as a weapon than "vaccines" since those actually kill people while vaccines stop people from dying. It's the exact opposite of a weapon.
The mind control thing is some bizarre scheme based on RFIDs that will get people to do our bidding. Really? You think the powers that be are going to invest billions in medicine to control you when all it takes is a chubby Korean guy doing a horsey dance to enthrall you? Think it through…
This matches the notion of things like "The Two Drops of the OPV indicate how many children you will have. It's true! Look at all those western families with just two kids! We will die out that way!" (Remember the Infant mortality rate is one of the reasons for high birth rates. To ensure survival of a few of the kids at least…) and "HIV was spread in the OPV" and various other concepts that imply the vaccine itself is used to harm people.
My Child's Immune System Will Get Overwhelmed
It's a common enough argument, anyone who has talked to an anti-vaccination advocate has probably heard this.
The notion is simple. To them the body doesn't have a mechanism to deal with the sudden influx of antigens from the antigens. This mainly is seen versus two vaccines. Measles/Mumps/Rubella (MMR) and the Diptheria/Pertussis/Tetanus (DPT) vaccines. The combination vaccines are seen as a burden that would "overwhelm" the body. If a single disease feels so horrid, imagine three teaming up to mug you!
Except that's not how the immune system works. If there are 3 separate antigen profiles your body will produce three different antigens in equal quantities because there is no "factory" mechanism.
The B-Lymphocytes responsible for antibody production are activated and they replicate. If there is one antigen then the initial response would be to that single antigen. If there are three then three different cells would be activated and since the cells themselves are responsible for their own replication they don't require a "factory" to do their work. There is no bottleneck of production here. Even spacing out the vaccines won't really achieve anything except create larger windows for disease to spread.
In addition you face down millions of bacteria and viruses on a daily basis with your body coping with all of them. Even a new born baby has to face off these teeming hordes and the immune system is easily capable of dealing with this.
These Disease Happen In Third World Nations, This is Not Africa
This notion is based on the idea that these are diseases you hear about that are far away and that they couldn't possibly physically affect us. Or because these diseases have been eliminated as an entity from the west and people have plain "forgotten" about them. The stacks of iron lungs, the children crippled from rubella and the children dead from measles are all a distant memory because there exists an entire generation who don't have to fear these diseases.
The notion that these diseases could easily return just like the polio resurgence due to Nigerian anti-vaccination efforts or measles in Europe is alien to them because the belief that a lot of the quackier alternative medicine folks flog is that somehow eating special vitamins or fruits will stop diseases from spreading which makes absolutely no sense if you understand immune systems.
Vaccination Does Not Work! More Vaccinated Children Fall Ill in Epidemics than Ours
Vaccination like all things isn't 100% effective. Nothing in life really is. Let's take seatbelts as an analogy. Seatbelts reduce mortality in accidents by a fair bit but people still die in them. If we compared the sum total of people who died in car accidents then you would see that most people who died did so wearing a seatbelt.
Does this mean seatbelts are ineffective or possibly dangerous?
We never compare sum totals of anything because it's just a value. It doesn't tell you anything apart from "totals". What we are interested in is the rate of deaths.
If we compared the rate of deaths in 100 car crashes at a specific speed where everyone in one cohort wore seatbelts and everyone in another didn't you would see more deaths in the side with no seatbelts. In our society since the majority of us wear seatbelts as a norm, the total number of deaths may exceed the unseatbelted but the rate of injury is a lot lot lower.
In vaccination terms? Let's get this straight. Vaccinated people grossly (for now) outnumber the unvaccinated. However their numbers are rising because "Anti-vax arguments are easy to make because arguments from ignorance are easier to make than arguments form a scientific perspective".
Let's take an example. There are 1000 people in a village. The vaccination rate is 90% (900) and therefore the unvaccinated (100) are in the minority. Let's say that the vaccine is 80% effective (so if 100 vaccinated people are exposed to the disease 20 get it if the disease has a 100% infection rate). Now let's say this village is subject to a hypothetical pathogen which they are all in contact with. Let's say it's in the food served up at a big village party…
Now in the unvaccinated section, 100 people are infected. However in the vaccinated section 180 people are affected (20/100×900). (You can do the mathematics too). This means that MORE vaccinated people are infected than unvaccinated people.
Now this is where the anti-vax stop their mathematics. 180 is clearly a bigger number than 100, ergo vaccination doesn't work. However you have to remember the RATE is important. In this hypothetical scenario 100% of unvaccinated would fall ill in exchange for 20% of vaccinated fall ill.
Hygiene and Nutrition are more Responsible than Vaccines for the Drop In Disease Rates
There is a bit of truth to this one but only if you cannot distinguish diseases.
Hygiene and Nutrition can lower the incidence and lethality of some diseases. Clean Drinking Water and Sewerage stops the spread of Cholera. Proper diet reduces the mortality rate of Measles. Okay. Medicine accepts this.
However the majority of vaccines are aimed at diseases that aren't controlled by hygiene. The only diarrhoeal disease on the western vaccine list is Rotavirus. During travel a Cholera and Typhoid vaccine can be issued but honestly that's more for personal protection rather than a non-standard vaccine.
Vaccines do not drop mortality rates of diseases as much as they drop the incidence of disease.
Let's take 3 examples.
In 1960 the USA had around 800,000 to 1.2 million cases of measles a year. It followed a predator prey relationship with variations based on the prior year's infection rates (since if you got Measles you effectively became immune to it). The vaccine was introduced in 1963. By 1965 the vaccine use began to be widespread and the rate of infection dropped like a rock. In 1968 the CDC reported 22,000 cases. A fall of over 97%… The only real change in this period was the vaccine. And measles is airborne. Clean water and proper food won't stop it from spreading.
The second example is the elimination of Smallpox. A disease that historically has killed millions. Prior to universal vaccination Europe had a Smallpox Death Toll of around a million deaths a year. Roughly 8 million people died every year. It was estimated to kill close to 800 million people this century alone. It was eliminated by vaccination. Even though smallpox vaccination is relatively transient due to the mildness of the disease it was noted that if everyone got vaccinated simultaneously the disease would be effectively "starved" of it's prey. If the entire world did it simultaneously then it would go extinct… And it did. Smallpox is a footnote in medicine. A triumph of science over evolution.
The last example is Polio. Just 6 years ago India had a third of the world's Polio. It was the biggest source of Polio on the planet and thousands of kids a year suffered from paralysis. The geared vaccination drive is the only real change. India has had no wildtype polio cases in 2 years. And remember during the 1950s when people in the USA had access to clean drinking water and proper sewerage they still caught polio. That's because polio can travel as a droplet in air or via the faeco-oral route and you would be surprised how easy it is to spread diseases from that route. Hygiene slowed down the spread but it certainly didn't stop it.
With every vaccine, the fall of it's disease has always been precipitous. Now this cannot keep being a coincidence.
And to put the final nail in the coffin? Consider the arrival of the Varicella (chickenpox) vaccine. The vaccine was introduced in the middle of the 90s. It's one of the most recent vaccines out there. The CDC reports roughly 4 million cases of chicken pox a year prior to the vaccine. In just 10 years after it's introduction (remember the Varicella vaccine was fought tooth and nail by anti-vax so uptake isn't universal) the total cases dropped to 600,000 per year (A difference of 3.4 million… an astonishingly large number). The USA didn't magically see an improvement to hygiene during that point that would stop an airborne disease from spreading.
Vaccines Are Poisonous and Have Some Vaguely Established Deletrious Effects
There are SOME side effects to vaccinations. It's mostly pain, fever, irritation. SOME people are allergic to them. Their immune systems respond inappropriately to them. These people generally are advised to avoid vaccinations or take alternative forms (eg. Nasal Spray vaccines).
However we aren't discussing this. These affect a small proportion of people who get vaccinated.
What we are discussing is the notion that everything in a vaccine is deadly without realising that the "dose" is important as is the reason for it's inclusion. To cover every single argument here is difficult. People happily claim that vaccines contain aluminium (they contain aluminium hydroxide which is DIFFERENT) and mercury (again thimerosol is not the same as pure mercury). You don't see them claiming that 50% of a normal table condiments is sodium and you shouldn't eat it because it explosively reacts with moisture. The very concept of dosage, clearance (rate of excretion) and mechanism (why something is poisonous) is lost to them.
For instance, formaldehyde IS poisonous. If you drink it in a glass you will probably be very very sick and may die.
However your body actually MAKES formaldehyde. The amount in a vaccine is miniscule and is easily processed by your body. The dosage here is the key.
Again Thimerosal is often confused with the much more dangerous methyl mercury which is an entirely different compound.
To point out how chemically silly this argument is. It would be like telling you to avoid eating eggs because they contain cyanide bonds.
Natural Immunity is Better Than Unnatural Immunity
There is a consistent and common notion that surviving an infection is better than vaccination with the purpose of protection.
But the problem here is that the entire point of a vaccine is to avoid an infection and the complications that ensue. That's like suggesting that if you are in hospital with a head injury you are less likely to get into a motorcycle accident so you shouldn't wear a helmet. I know that sounds stupid but trust me when people say the first line that's how I feel.
But here is the thing. Even in our western society roughly 1 in 1000 to 2 in 1000 cases of measles end in mortality. Encephalitis, Pneumonia and Meningitis… Plenty of childre with measles require hospitalisation. And this is a disease many anti-vax flog as "harmless". Measles was once near universal. Everyone got it once. At one point in the USA roughly 800 to 1000 children a year died from a disease the anti-vax flog as "harmless".
And that's saying a lot. Even when boosters are required the benefit of avoiding the actual disease far outweighs the actual benefit from getting it.
There are also diseases like Tetanus, Meningococcus Meningitis, HiB Meningitis, Diptheria and Rabies whose diseases are inherently a lot more lethal than even the most fantastic fantasy of the anti-vax lobbyist can depict the vaccine as. Rabies has an effective 100% mortality rate and indeed the only reason we have nearly zero cases is because of our vaccination of pets and our prophylaxis using our vaccine.
It's Profit For Big Pharma
I am apparently a shill for big pharma. I apparently have been accused of getting funded by massive pharma companies/NWO/WHO/Jews/Freemasons/NWA/DMX/DegenerationX/Reptilians to flog vaccines because it makes stellar profits.
Not really, the big profit makers are anti-hypertensives and anti-cholesterol drugs. Vaccines actually LOSE profit.
It's simple.
Let's Take Measles as an Example. Where I am working it costs around $15 for the MMR vaccine. Let's only take measles into account.
And let's ONLY take encephalitis into account. Let's assume every other case of measles doesn't require ANY medication or medical intervention (It's not true. Many measles cases require hospital care and intervention). Roughly 1 in 1000 cases are encephalitis.
A thousand vaccines with boosters cost $15000. The care for encephalitis is two weeks long and priced at around $10,000 a day. For 3 days of ICU care (A must for encephalitis) you could vaccinate 2000 people for life. If the patient is lucky and makes it out in 12 days then you could vaccinate around 8000 people. If we didn't vaccinate 8000 people you would have 8 such cases.
Now you tell me which is more profitable? And this is without all the people who require medical care.
Now here is the other problem. Doctors are paid salaries. No one pays them by the patient. Whether you treat 20 or 200 you get paid the same per day. Obviously you have targets to meet or people start asking questions about your efficacy. But we aren't paid per patient we admit. We don't benefit from vaccines.
So it's "not about the money".
Tomorrow's piece will deal with the top questions that I have been asked about vaccines and some answers to them.

Moyers & Winship: Here's an Idea -- Let's Tax the Earnings of Politicians Turned Lobbyists
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
From BillMoyers.com:
To those who would argue that the notion of a perpetual motion machine is impossible, we give you the revolving door — that ever-spinning entrance and exit between public service in government and the hugely profitable private sector. It never stops.
Yes, we've talked about the revolving door until we're red or blue in the face (the door is bipartisan and spins across party lines) but this mantra bears its own perpetual repetition, a powerful reason for our distrust of the people who make and enforce our laws and regulations.
Jesse Eisinger, writing at The New York Times, reports that on January 25th, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid announced the appointment of Cathy Koch as his chief advisor on tax and economic policy. According to the Times, "The news release lists Ms. Koch's admirable and formidable experience in the public sector. 'Prior to joining Senator Reid's office,' the release says, 'Koch served as tax chief at the Senate Finance Committee.'"
But, Eisinger notes, the press statement fails to mention Ms. Koch's actual last job — as a registered lobbyist for GE. "Yes, General Electric," he writes, "the company that paid almost no taxes in 2010. Just as the tax reform debate is heating up, Mr. Reid has put in place a person who is extraordinarily positioned to torpedo any tax reform that might draw a dollar out of GE — and, by extension, any big corporation."
Promontory plays both sides of the field, helping financial companies hack their way through the bogs of regulation while simultaneously "helping" the OCC review said regulations — like the just abandoned Independent Foreclosure Review that essentially let the banks hire outside "experts" to decide who had been victimized by the banks' abuse of mortgages. Result: not a dime to affected homeowners but $1.5 billion in consulting fees to Promontory and other companies like it.One other example cited in the Times article: Julie Williams, chief counsel for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency — "and a major friend of the banks for years" — has been forced out of the OCC by its new boss and is joining Promontory Financial Group, "a classic Washington creature that is a private sector mirror image of a regulatory body."
And get this: as Julie Williams exits OCC for Promontory, she will be succeeded as chief counsel by Amy Friend, former chief counsel of the Senate Banking Committee but currently a managing director at — wait for it — Promontory!
It's a wonder all of Washington doesn't lie prostrate in the streets, overcome by vertigo from all the spinning back and forth. But while we're at it, remember that this whirling frenzy isn't limited to the federal government. There are revolving doors installed at the exits and entrances of every state capitol in the country. The temptation for officeholders to seek greener pastures in lobbying can be even greater in statehouses where salaries are small and legislative sessions infrequent.
A quick search of newspapers around the country reveals how pernicious the problem is. On February 22, the Los Angeles Times reported "the abrupt resignation" of State Senator Michael J. Rubio to take a government affairs job with Chevron: "As chairman of the Senate Environmental Quality Committee, Rubio was leading the charge to make California's environmental laws more business-friendly and has introduced bills during his two years in office that affect the oil industry in his Central Valley district."
A recent editorial in the Raleigh News & Observer points out that since the last session of the legislature there, Republican Harold Brubaker, former speaker of the North Carolina House; and Republican Richard Stevens, a ten-year veteran of the state senate, have become registered lobbyists: "Both men became experts in state spending by heading budget committees in their respective chambers… Top legislators-turned-hired-guns advising lawmakers sounds like an opening for well-funded interests to buy influence."

Check your flight status:
It was a pretty lonely scene at the Lincoln airport Thursday. About the only people there are the employees. However there were a couple passengers who showed up early, hoping their flight would leave on time.
"I'm trying to get home to Houston, Texas to visit my family," said Rynell Ware of Lincoln. "We were supposed to catch a flight at 1 p.m. and that one got cancelled. So now there's one at 4:55 p.m. and that's what I'm hoping for."
Unfortunately for Rynell, all flights from the Lincoln airport were grounded Thursday, and Friday doesn't look much better.
"We don't know what tomorrow's going to bring because the storm is moving north so as it gets into the Minneapolis or Chicago area it could still affect flights as it hits those major hubs," said John Wood, Lincoln Airport Authority Executive Director.
Before you leave home, make sure to check your flight status so you're not left in an empty airport.

As a teenager in the United States, Don Ho had gone to Santa Ana Valley High School. During his senior year in high school, Don Ho participated in a choral group called Chamber Singers. As a young man, Don Ho has proved to be skillful in painting. He received a scholarship from art school in New York after finishing high school. However, his love for singing kept him from his path towards becoming a painter. In the year of 1990, Don Ho appeared in two medleys in Paris By Night 12. After the release of the VHS, fans praised Don's smokey vocals and had requested for Don to return. Don returned in 1992, for Paris by Night 15. Don performed Paul Anka's hit song, Diana. Don's career is huge for over 10 years, performing hits, such as "Tinh Nhat Phai"(Caravan of Life), "Vuc Sau  ( Wikipedia article )

Wise words for the Student of Knowledge from Imam al-Subki [ra]
Wise words of Imam al-Subki [ra]
"An intelligent student of mine remains as such until he delves into the differences that occurred between the salaf."
After warning the student to avoid the differences that occurred between the great scholars he says,
"Like (what occurred) between Ahmad and al Muhassibi…for, indeed, if you busy yourself with these things, I fear for your demise…there is nothing for us except to be pleased with them, being quiet about their differences, just as they were about the differences amongst the Companions [ra]."
Tabaqat al-Shaf'iyah vol. 2 pg. 39
3 Comments
Lol the problem is that the people who DO delve into these differences are those that do not know much about the whole [icture to begin with :S May Allah guide us all. Thank you for this important reminder.
Dear Imam Suhaib,
Jazakallahu Khairan for the post.
I have a question: How does one keep quite about an issue, while also teaching a certain view?
I.e. if a Scholar were to subscribe to Imam Muhasibi;s view, would he only quote/narrate/propogate that view or should he also provide other view? If the answer is the later, should he also give a final verdict on the issue (i.e. who is right, or preferable) or stay quite?

My son talks about this cereal now sooooooo much... I wish you guys would bring it back for a limited time or for good so I could a least see him eat. I don't eat chocolate but I would give this a 5 rating because he loves them, and he's now 20.

Please bring back the Choco Donuts cereal. I loved the chocolate flavor and any cereal that looks like little donuts is brilliant!

I am extremely outraged that they stopped making this cereal. This was actually a name brand cereal unlike all of those fake ones. They need to bring it back obviously. It was really good because there is a website about them and people are making comments. Bring back the cereal!

NAMM 2013: Washburn guitars have announced the EA20SNB, a Nuno Bettencourt signature electro-acoustic which they'll be offering alongside the existing Nuno N4 Signature electric and N7 seven-string. Here's the official word...
Best known for his ground breaking work in Extreme and currently touring with Rihanna, Nuno Bettencourt is a true guitar hero, inspiring millions of guitarists around the world.
While primarily known for his electric work on his Washburn N4 signature guitar, Nuno and Extreme came to prominence with the acoustic hit, "More Than Words", which featured Nuno playing a Washburn Festival Series guitar. Nuno has continued to use Washburn Festival Series guitars on stage and studio to this day.
It is with that spirit and desire to create the perfect stage and studio ready instrument that Washburn and Nuno teamed up to create the EA20SNB. The guitar is a thinline jumbo style electro-acoustic with a Florentine cutaway for extended upper fret access.
It features a book matched solid Alaskan Sitka spruce top with quarter sawn scalloped bracing and gorgeous book matched rosewood back and sides. A smooth satin finished mahogany neck offers the utmost playing comfort and is topped with a rosewood fingerboard which features custom 'Mourning Widow' inlays at the 12th fret.
A bone nut and saddle provide ultimate tone transfer and chrome Grover 18:1 tuners provide ultra precise tuning and tuning stability. The unique soundhole rosette also features the 'Mourning Widow' motif.
The EA20SNB is well suited to live performance due to its feedback reducing thin body and features Fishman Isys+ electronics for superb natural sounding amplified tone.

Collaboration between financial staff and clinicians will become increasingly important as healthcare reform changes are implemented. By achieving successful finance-clinician collaboration both on the clinical units and in the boardroom, Johns Hopkins Health System has been able to reduce costs and improve productivity while improving the health outcomes of its patients. Johns Hopkins CFO Ronald Werthman provides insight about the organization's strategy.
hfm: What strategies have you used to foster collaboration between clinical and financial areas?
Werthman: Our executives function as safety executives, whereby each executive sponsors a clinical functional unit for safety rounds. It is the safety executives' responsibility to participate in quarterly safety meetings on the clinical unit and be institutional advocates for required changes. This initiative has been labeled "suits meet scrubs."
Finance also participates in "nurse for a day." Each executive is assigned to shadow a clinical professional for an entire shift, thereby being able to see firsthand the challenges that our clinical professionals are encountering on a daily basis.
Our directors of finance are also involved. This structure has a financial executive at the director level deployed in every clinical functional unit. These directors of finance report dually to the administrator of the clinical functional unit and to the CFO. The communication and transparency with this structural change has been outstanding.
We also collaborate at the board of trustees level. Through board-level committees that focus on quality and safety, the clinical and financial staffs interact on a regular basis.
hfm: As you consider the relationships being developed between clinicians and financial staff, what initiatives have you pursued to reduce costs while taking care not to adversely impact patient care?
Werthman: The finance team provides much of the metrics and benchmark data, and the clinical leadership determines if and where productivity can be improved. Working closely with clinical leadership, the financial team has been able to develop clinical models that not only reduce cost and improve productivity, but also improve the clinical outcome and health status of our patients.
hfm: What role does finance play in quality in your organization? Is finance performing an audit function, reporting and recording, leading the way, or just an interested user of the information?
Werthman: Finance is a key member of the leadership team in helping to develop new clinical models for care delivery that will be incented in a pay-for-performance initiative. Our provider network is primarily located in Maryland, and this state has been under a payer rate regulated reimbursement system for more than 30 years. The incentives within the reimbursement structure have always required a close working relationship between the clinical leadership and the finance team.
hfm: Would you like to add any advice, lessons learned, or thoughts in general from your experiences on clinical and financial collaboration?
Werthman: With healthcare reform, we are all going to need to focus more on preventive approaches to healthcare delivery and finding ways to minimize or eliminate the acute episode of care by improving the health status of the communities we serve. To achieve the changes needed for the future, we must all be more innovative as we move out of our historic comfort zones.

Jakubauskas Begins Rehab (Again); Power Get Over-Powered
Action for the Pirates' lower minor affiliates on Tuesday…� The Bradenton Marauders were rained out.� They'll play a double header against Palm Beach today.
GCL Phillies� 5,� GCL Pirates 0 (box)
The Phillies dominated the Pirates for the second day in a row, adding 12 hits today to their 19 hits yesterday.� Righty pitcher Chris Jakubauskas made his first appearance in a game in months but suffered the loss with a 3-inning start for the Pirates.� He gave up one run on 3 hits and 2 walks.� The run scored in the 3rd inning. on a single, a wild pitch and an RBI ground out.� Kevin Kleis also gave up one run in his 2 innings of work, on two singles with a stolen base in the 5th.� Rinku Singh made his longest appearance to date, going 4 innings and allowing 3 runs on 6 hits.� Two runs scored in the 6th, on two doubles, a hit batter, a walk, and a wild pitch.� A single and a double added another run for the Phillies in the 8th.
The Pirates were held to 5 hits — a double by DH Justin Howard, and singles by CF Junior Sosa, 3B Eric Avila, C Elias Diaz, and 1B Dylan Child. The Pirates came closest to scoring in the 6th, when Howard doubled and Avila followed with a single into left field.� Howard tried to score from second on the throw, but was tagged out at the plate.� That was also the only inning in which more than one Pirate was on base at the same time.
Three Hits For Hernandez; McPherson Strikes Out 9; Avila's Grand Slam
Back to full action in the Pirates' lower minor league organization:
Harrisburg Senators � 9,� Altoona Curve� 7 (box)
The 5 Curve players who participated in the Eastern League All-Star Game didn't have to do any extra travelling after the game, because the rest of the Curve joined them in Harrisburg to begin a series against the Senators.
The Senators jumped out to an early lead, with 3 runs in the bottom of the 1st inning and 2 more in the 3rd inning off Curve starter Jared Hughes. Hughes gave up two walks, a triple, a single, a wild pitch, and an RBI ground out in the 1st inning, and a 2-run homer in the 3rd.� After the homer, Hughes had a batter reach on a throwing error by SS Chase d'Arnaud, then gave up another single.� Then he settled down and retired the next 11 batters in a row.� He pitched 6 innings and allowed those 5 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks, with 3 strikeouts.
The Curve bats were quiet over their first 5 innings, with only a walk to C Hector Gimenez and singles to CF Gorkys Hernandez and RF Miles Durham. They got going in the 6th inning, when Hernandez singled again and 3B Josh Harrison doubled, scoring Hernadez from first base.� 1B Matt Hague blasted a 2-run homer, and the Curve were back in the game, trailing 5-3.
Pinch-hitter Anthony Norman added another 2-run homer in the top of the 7th, after LF Brandon Jones had walked.� With the score tied at 5-5, D'Arnaud walked after the home run, and moved to second base on a wild pitch.� Hernandez's third single of the game put d'Arnaud on third base, and Harrison's sacrifice fly brought him in with the go-ahead run.� One more run came across in the top of the 8th.� 3B Jordy Mercer walked, and advanced to second base on a wild pitch.� Durham singled again, but Mercer had to hold at second base because the ball was just at shortstop.� Jones walked to load the bases, and pinch-hitter Yung Chi Chen's sacrifice fly brought in Mercer.
The Curve were looking good, with a 7-5 lead going into the bottom of the 9th.� Anthony Claggett had relieved Hughes and struck out the side in the 7th.� Mike Dubee pitched the 8th, allowing a single and a walk, but striking out two more batters.� Ramon Aguero took the mound for the bottom of the 9th.� He got the first out… then everything fell apart.� A walk, a single, and a wild pitch put runners on second and third base.� A sacrifice fly brought in the runner from third base, bringing the Senators closer, 7-6.� Another walk put two runners on, and a 3-run walk-off homer gave the Senators the 9-7 win.
Baker Pitches 8 No-Hit Innings; Cayonez's Perfect Afternoon
Lots of action in the Pirates' lower minors on Tuesday, partly because of two double headers making up for the two postponements yesterday.
West Virginia Power �7, �Hagerstown Suns �3 (box)
Power starter Nate Baker pitched 8 no-hit innings tonight in Hagerstown, to earn his 6th win of the season. �He was not perfect, though. �After striking out the first two batters he faced, a batter reached base on a throwing error by SS Benji Gonzalez. A grounder force out ended the inning. �With one out in the 2nd inning, Baker hit a batter with a pitch, though he left that runner stranded on base. �From there, Baker retired the next 20 batters he faced, including 8 strikeouts. �Only three of those batters got the ball out of the infield.
Baker did not come out to pitch the 9th inning, probably due to pitch count. �Reliever Gabriel Alvarado took the 9th, and he was the victim of the Suns' pent-up frustration and stifled hits. � Alvarado struck out the first batter of the inning, but then gave up a line-drive single, a triple, and a home run, as the Suns avoided both the no-hitter and the shut-out.
The Power batters provided Baker with plenty of run support, though not until the later innings. �C Ramon Cabrera had 3 hits and 2 RBI, while CF Evan Chambers, 2B Jarek Cunningham, and 1B Aaron Baker all had 2 hits. �The Power threatened in the 2nd inning, when Cabrera singled, Benji Gonzalez doubled, and Chambers walked, but a strikeout ended the inning. �They got going in the 6th inning, with a single by Aaron Baker, a walk to LF Jose Hernandez, and a 2-RBI triple by Cabrera. �DH Elevys Gonzalez followed with a double, scoring Cabrera, for a 3-0 lead. �They added another run in the 7th, when Chambers led off with a single and scored on Aaron Baker's double.
Two walks, to 3B Jesus Brito and Cabrera, began the 8th inning, and a fielding error on Elevys Gonzalez's sacrifice bunt loaded the bases for the Power. �Benji Gonzalez brought in Brito on a grounder force out, then Chambers doubled, scoring Cabrera. �Benji Gonzalez tried to score from first base, but he was thrown out at the plate. �Cunningham also singled, plating Chambers for the Power's final run of the game.
Alderson Gets The Win And A Homer; Welker Promoted
Roster moves: �Relief pitcher Duke Welker has been promoted from West Virginia to the Bradenton Marauders. �Welker had made 20 relief appearances for the Power, earning a 1-1 record and 5 saves, with a 3.63 ERA. �In 22.1 in innings, Welker gave up 16 hits, 14 runs (9 earned), with 24 walks and 25 strikeouts. �Opponents hit .198 against him.
The Pirates have signed INF�Yung Chi Chen to a minor league contract and assigned him to Altoona. �Chen had been playing for the AA Midland RockHounds (A's), but was released in early June. �He had been hitting .168 for Midland, with 5 doubles and 9 RBI in 28 games. �The Taiwan native has been a member of the Taiwan National Team, and was signed by the Mariners in 2004. �He played for AAA Tacoma in 2007 for just a few games before being sidelined with a shoulder injury, and in 69 games in 2008, when he hit .249. �Chen was claimed off waivers by the A's in late 2008. �He split the 2009 season between AAA Sacramento (where he hit .283 with one homer and 8 RBI in 27 games), AA Midland (.324 and 10 RBI in 17 games) and the Arizona League A's (.346 with one homer and 8 RBI in 8 games). �Chen appeared in his first game for the Curve on June 30th, when he went 0-for3 with 2 strikeouts.
Thursday's action:
Altoona Curve �7, �Reading Phillies �1 (box)
Tim Alderson earned his 7th win for the Curve, and he contributed to the offense too, with a 2-run homer. �It was not the first homer of Alderson's career, though. �He hit one last year for the Curve and another, also last season, while pitching for Connecticut, while he was still in the Giants' organization.
Alderson got into some trouble right away in the 1st inning, when he gave up what would turn out to be the R-Phils' only run on a 2-out double and a single. �Then Alderson settled down, scattering a two more hits and two walks over the next 5 innings. �He retired the last 7 batters he faced in order.
After allowing that run in the bottom of the 1st, Alderson took care of the problem himself in the top of the 2nd. �LF Brandon Jones singled, and Alderson gave the Curve a 2-1 lead with his 2-run homer over the left field wall. �The Curve added 4 more runs in the 5th inning. �With one out, 2B Josh Harrison and 1B Matt Hague hit back-to-back singles. �3B Jordy Mercer's grounder to first forced out Hague at second, but the R-Phils could not turn it into a double play to end the inning. �Instead, they gave C Hector Gimenez a chance, and he took it — a double into center field, scoring both Harrison from third and Mercer all the way from first. �Jones singled, bringing in Gimenez, and a fielding error in center field allowed Jones to advance to second base. �That gave him the opportunity to score on RF Miles Durham's RBI single.
The next 11 Curve batters went down in order, until CF Gorkys Hernandez singled with one out in the 9th. �A passed ball let Hernandez move up to second base, and he scored on Hague's RBI single. �Mercer also singled and Gimenez walked to load the bases, but a ground out ended the inning before the Curve could add to their run tally.
Derek Hankins earned his 3rd save for the Curve with 3 scoreless innings of work. �He gave up a walk and a single over those 3 innings, while striking out 2 batters.

This 60s style top is made from small scraps of fabric. The bodice yoke represents the primary detail and the lower part has small pleats at front and back.
This is my relax look and it is very easy to make. I style it with a belt to see how it would look but I prefer it without.

- Well sure enough, just as Robyn has satisfied her wanton, lesbian lust on the hapless Lara, she sends for her "Business associate" Dave. A hulking great thug, who burst into the room, threatening yours truly, until Robyn reassures him that I'm "Kosher". Anyway, what a double act of sleazebags, Robyn and Dave's banter was hilarious, especially when he complained to Robyn that she'd stuck him with a lady-boy on his last assignment. So now it's Dave's turn to put Lara through her paces with a hard shag, I must admit this was the strangest interview I'd ever attended, I mean you wouldn't see this on the "Apprentice". When it got to, as Robyn so delicately put it, "Dropping anchor in Poo Bay" Lara backed off, so Robyn showed her how, with Dave pounding into her arse hole while Lara helped

Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Implantation
DESCRIPTIONTranscatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) is an alternative to pulmonary valve replacement by open surgery. It intended for patients who have previously had a pulmonary valve repair for congenital heart disease, in whom dysfunction of the repaired valve necessitates further intervention.
Description of Disease. Congenital heart disease, including tetrology of Fallot, pulmonary atresia, and transposition of the great arteries, is generally treated by surgical repair at an early age. This involves reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and pulmonary valve by means of a surgical homograft or a bovine-derived valved conduit. These repairs are prone to development of pulmonary stenosis or regurgitation over long periods of follow-up.
As individuals with prior congenital heart disease repair are living longer into adulthood, the problem of RVOT dysfunction following initial repair has become more common. Calcification of the RVOT conduit can lead to pulmonary stenosis, while aneurysmal dilatation can result in pulmonary regurgitation. RVOT dysfunction can lead to decreased exercise tolerance, potentially fatal arrhythmias, and/or irreversible right ventricular dysfunction.
Interventions for RVOT dysfunction often require repeat open heart surgery, resulting to numerous open heart procedures in patients who live into adulthood. Treatment options for pulmonary stenosis, open surgery with valve replacement, balloon dilatation, or percutaneous stenting. (1) Interventions for pulmonary regurgitation are primarily surgical, either reconstruction of the RVOT conduit or replacement of the pulmonary valve through open surgery. The optimal timing of these interventions is not well understood.
Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement offers a potentially less invasive treatment option for patients with prior surgery for congenital heart disease and RVOT dysfunction. It is possible that the use of less invasive valve replacement techniques can spare patients from multiple repeat open heart procedures over long periods of follow-up.
Description of Technology. The Melody transcatheter pulmonary valve and the Ensemble Transcatheter Valve Delivery System are used together for percutaneous replacement of a dysfunctional pulmonary valve. The Melody valve consists of a section of bovine jugular vein with an intact native venous valve. The valve and surrounding tissue is sutured within a platinum-iridium stent scaffolding. The transcatheter delivery system consists of a balloon-in-balloon catheter with a retractable sheath and distal cup into which the valve is placed. The procedure is performed on the beating heart without use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
The Melody valve is first crimped to fit into the delivery system. It is introduced through the femoral vein and advanced into the right side of the heart and put into place at the site of the pulmonary valve. The inner balloon is inflated to open up the artificial valve and then the outer balloon is inflated to position the valve into place.
The Melody transcatheter pulmonary valve and the Ensemble Transcatheter Valve Delivery System, manufactured by Medtronic Heart Valves, Inc (Santa Ana, CA), received FDA approval under the Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) Program on January 25, 2010. Approval was for use as an adjunct to surgery in the management of pediatric and adult patients with the following clinical conditions:
POLICYTranscatheter pulmonary valve implantation, when performed according to FDA-approved indications, is considered medically necessary for patients with prior repair of congenital heart disease and right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction, who are not good candidates for open repair due to one or more of the following conditions:
Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation is considered investigational for all other indications.
POLICY EXCEPTIONSNone
POLICY GUIDELINESInvestigative service is defined as the use of any treatment procedure, facility, equipment, drug, device, or supply not yet recognized by certifying boards and/or approving or licensing agencies or published peer review criteria as standard, effective medical practice for the treatment of the condition being treated and as such therefore is not considered medically necessary.
The coverage guidelines outlined in the Medical Policy Manual should not be used in lieu of the Member's specific benefit plan language.
POLICY HISTORY03/22/2012: Approved by Medical Policy Advisory Committee.
02/20/2013: Added the verbiage "when performed according to FDA-approved indications" to the medically necessary policy statement.
03/05/2014: Policy reviewed; no changes.

St. Leo's online MAT program
June 6, 2011
I chose St. Leo in 2005 for my MAT, after researching many online graduate programs because I felt that St. Leo was an established university and its Christian values would make it more caring and personal. I made sure it was accredited and was reassured by the fact that St. Leo's MAT program was receiving US military subsidy for training retired military officials to become teachers. At first I was pleased with my choice. The ... [Read more]

MBA Program is TOUGH
December 9, 2010
I graduated from St. Leo March 2010 with an MBA. Shortly thereafter, I was offered an undergrad instructor job at a local college. The MBA program was extremely difficult. It required 20-25 hours a week per class and there are only 8 weeks per semester. Lots of reading, researching, and writing. It was not easy but I managed to finish with the help of supportive instructors and staff. [Read more]

I am currently enrolled in one class at St. Leo University. I received my MBA with a concentration in accounting several years ago. I recently found out that I was required to take additional accounting classes to qualify for several things that I am interested in pursuing. Most, if not all schools require 18 hours in the concentration that you choose, so imagine my surprise when I found that I did not have 18 accounting hours. A classmate that graduated from the same program just found out that she has to return to take two additional accounting classes. On top of that, the class that I am enrolled in currently is taught by an instructor who can barely speak English. The quizzes and exams have nothing to do with the textbook being used or the material being presented in the class. The instructor simply states that we should know the answers from previous classes, but cannot explain why an answer is right or wrong himself. I would never consider enrolling in another class at this university.
I will be graduating from St. Leo this May 2010. I will be getting my Bachelors in Criminal Justice and I am applying for the graduated program. I think this is a wonderful school. I loved the curriculum and I highly recommend it.
I got my criminology degree from Saint Leo and I am going back to get my Master's Degree from them in the same field. They were great and I have no complaints other than it was expensive, but ALL online programs are expensive. I also went to the campus and watched one of the basketball games when I visited Florida a few years ago.
I have enrolled in their MBA program online, and so far the enrollment process has gone exceptionally well. I will post more after I start my first class.
I am in the process of enrolling into the B.S. in Computer Information Systems and have nothing but great things to say about the enrollment process so far. The enrollment adviser is not pushy but very helpful. They have a military discount which makes the tuition $250 per credit hour. I also received a $200 book store credit since I am active duty. I plan on leaving a more detailed review once I am enrolled into the program and have taken some classes.
You could try calling aunrod to your local CPA firms to see if they are looking to bring on any part-time help. This will most likely be easier in Dec/Jan since it will be tax season. If you can't find a CPA firm that needs your help, think about taking the class (or you can try to test out) for H R Block. The tax experience will help on your job hunt once out of school.I am also a new' accountant (meaning I just got my degree 2 years ago) and haven't seen any part-time jobs in the accounting field in the places I have looked. My husband is in the Coast Guard, so am currently in Mobile, AL but have also worked in Portland, ME and Charlotte, NC. I would love to have a part-time job since I have a 2-year-old but I'm overqualified for bookkeeping and I haven't found anyone else that needed a part-time accountant.Once you are out of school and can do full-time, you may move right into the Staff Accountant type role or start at Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payable and work your way up from there. You should apply for all I really hope that helps!!!
Frankly, I chose the MBA parogrm at CCU because I understood that it would be an in class environment. My primary considerations were that it be a challenging MBA parogrm that encompassed all the courses that would be considered important by businessess. Additionally, the fact that I was promised a convenient place for completion in an in class environment with a small group of students that would more or less follow the entire course together. I should not diminish the fact that God was an integral part of the study, this dimension put the parogrm above the norm and added much to the study. How can we study Leadership without God in the classroom? As it turns out, my emphasis and Capstone course were required on line. I must say that the on line courses were not as educational, engaging or inspiring as the in seat classes. In the in seat classes, I was able to learn from fellow classmates and the instructor as well as the written material. The insights from classmates and intructor were much more educational than the written material.All in all, my offering here is not in the spirit of the question, but I would never have chosen an on line MBA.
I recently finished my B.A. degree with a concentration in Management at one of the centers. My overall experience with St. Leo has been postive. Like most programs, the instruction value varied with each instructor. Simply said, some were good, others not so much. I would highly recommend this school, especially to working professionals who are trying to balance, work, school, and home life.

Madigan's pension-reform package goes down in flames
BY DAVE MCKINNEY, NATASHA KORECKI, ZACH BUCHHEIT AND CAROL MARIN Staff Reporters May 30, 2013 10:02PM
In this Tuesday, May 21, 2013 photo Illinois Speaker of the House Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, speaks to lawmakers while on the House floor during session at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield, Ill. | Seth Perlman~AP
- Madigan on Senate's 'no' vote on pension reform: shows 'lack of leadership'
- New concealed-carry compromise bill filed in Senate

Updated: July 2, 2013 8:04AM
SPRINGFIELD — A pension-reform package crafted by House Speaker Michael Madigan went down to spectacular defeat in the state Senate Thursday, thrusting the search for a solution to Illinois' nearly $100 million pension crisis into legislative chaos.
The bill's demise came as the Democratic-led House and Senate faced a scheduled midnight Friday adjournment with no apparent breakthroughs on the spring legislative session's biggest issues: pension reform, legalization of same-sex marriage, allowing people to carry concealed weapons and authorization for casinos in Chicago, the south suburbs and Lake County.
With those issues seemingly mired in legislative tar, the House approved a sprawling economic-development package that would fund a new DePaul University basketball arena near McCormick Place and possibly jumpstart a south-suburban airport at Peotone. That measure, pushed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel and backed by Gov. Pat Quinn, now moves to the Senate.
But the 16-42 Senate vote on pension legislation opposed by the state's largest public-sector unions unleashed a display of apparent bitterness from Madigan (D-Chicago) that seemingly targeted Senate President John Cullerton (D-Chicago) for not turning the tide in favor of the pension package.
"It's a lack of leadership," Madigan told the Chicago Sun-Times.
Quinn, a supporter of the bill, also weighed in on the vote.
"The people of Illinois were let down tonight," the governor said.
The breathtaking but expected defeat of Madigan's pension-reform bill came as Cullerton worked to demolish the legislation, which decreased annual cost-of-living increases for retirees, hiked the retirement age and required higher employee contributions for fewer benefits.
Cullerton's caucus and a smattering of Republicans voted down the measure, driven by constitutional questions and anger at Madigan's unwillingness to allow a House vote on a more generous pension package favored by unions and that passed the Senate.
"Well, I'm sure he's disappointed. He worked real hard to pass this bill. He barely passed it, 62 votes," Cullerton said of Madigan, when asked to respond to the speaker's barb. "And we have a different caucus. And it just didn't have the support."
Is pension reform dead?
"I'm not going to say that yet," Cullerton said. "We still have a day left."
With the fate sealed on Madigan's pension plan, the House narrowly voted 60-55 to pass a comparatively minor pension bill that would shift the state's burden for funding the pensions of university and community college employees to the institutions that employ them. That now moves to the Senate.
Meanwhile, on the bid to legalize same-sex marriage in Illinois, the day was filled with tension and stops and starts as gay and lesbian couples, many with children, crowded the Capitol, expecting a House vote on the legislation.
But as has been the case since the Senate's February passage of the bill, Thursday came and went without a vote on the legislation carried by state Rep. Greg Harris (D-Chicago), whose efforts to build a 60-vote majority in the House are running out of time.
Asked why his bill wasn't called for a vote Thursday, Harris said, "We did a lot of other things today. We have a lot of work to get through."
Harris told the Sun-Times that his roll call has shifted "in a good way" since Thursday and that he is committed to running the legislation Friday — a vote he still believes is winnable.
"When I put that up on the board, it will go," Harris said.
